ABYSSINIA OFFERS NEW OPPORTUNITIES
(Special to The New York Asa)
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Abyssinia, the land of the Queen of Sheba who visited King Solomon, is still in the hand stage of manufacture. The women spin and the men weave at home as did the early colonists in this country before the introduction and invention of machinery and before means of transportation, which encouraged the exchange of commodities, were established. This rich country needs development; it needs tradesmen, carpenters, builders, civil and mechanical engineers, blacksmiths, doctors, dentists, teachers of agriculture, industrial teachers, governmental advisors. In fact, its needs are numerous, according to a statement recently made by members of "The High Commission" in a very pleasant and interesting interview with Dr. George H. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics Department of Labor, who met the Commission by appointment at their hotel during their recent visit to Washington.
These gentlemen, who represent the most enlightened and possibly the oldest Negro civilization in the world, were dressed in white summer suits and white capes which covered their shoulders and arms. They cordially welcomed Dr. Haynes and were especially anxious to learn about the Negroes in America. They wanted to know about their occupations, their wages and modes of living; whether they had stores, factories and industries of their own; what provision was made for their education and what opportunity they had for employment after finishing the schools.
"One of the gentlemen of the Commission, who acted as interpreter and who speaks English fluently, had a number of questions written but which he wanted information. The members of the Commission were all

Church, Tuesday evening, the audience overflowed into the street. Governor Runyon delivered the address of welcome in behalf of the state of New Jersey. He moved the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm when he declared that the Negro's valor in the great war was the pride of the nation, and that this country was obligated to see that he enjoyed all the rights and privileges of an American citizen. Mayor Gillen delivered a hearty address of welcome in behalf of the city of Newark, and Lawyer Randolph spoke for the citizens. The major portion of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was devoted to the discussion of papers read and the clinics. The exhibits this year, were exceptionally fine, demonstrating the last word in medical progress. The sessions were held in the Robert Treat School.
The social side was arranged on a grand scale. Wednesday afternoon, there was an automobile ride to Eagle Rock where luncheon was served to 900 guests at 6 p.m. From there, the party was taken to Hollywood Park where all enjoyed themselves the rest of the evening. Thursday afternoon a whist party for the visiting ladies was held at the Robert Treat School. Friday evening, the convention closed with a brilliant reception at the Palace Casino, on Washington street. In entertaining the convention, the local doctors were assisted by their wives who formed an auxiliary committee, and over one hundred citizens who constituted the citizens committee.
The following officers were elected: L. P. Turner, M. D., Philadelphia, president; Harriet B. Marble, Ph. D., Yazoo, Miss., vice-president; J. W. Ford, D. S., Brooklyn, N. Y., vice-president; Edward P. Terry, M. D. Atlantic City, N. J., vice-president; W. G. Alexander, M. D. Orange, N. J., general secretary; J. R. Levy, M. D. Florence, S. C. treasurer; Geo. E.

DALLAS EXPRESS EDITOR IS KILLED BY A WOMAN
(Special to THE NEW YORK ACE)
DALLAS, TEXAS—W. F. King, editor and founder of the Dallas Express, the largest race publication in the southwest, was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock at 2811 Elora street. Mr. King lived only a few minutes after he was shot. He was shot in the upper right chest.
Hattie C. Burleson, a former employee of Mr. King, voluntarily surrendered immediately after the shooting and an affidavit charging her with murder was filed in Justice Barnett's court.
Mr. King came to Dallas in 1891 and secured a position as managing editor of the Western Star. He began the publication of the Dallas Bee and later the name was changed to the Dallas Express. He was editor-in-chief at the time of his death and by his uncompromising stand for justice and rights the paper is considered one of the strongest publications in the southwest. The deceased is survived by a brother,
DIFFERENCE IN VIEWS OF TEXAS OFFICIALS
(Special to THE NEW YORK AM)
SAN ANTONIO, Tex.—The Mayor and Sheriff of San Antonio do not take the same view of the activities of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as those who assaulted the national Secretary in Austin. A report to the San Antonio branch by a committee which was appointed there, stated among other things:
An epitome of the views of the Association publicly expressed in our last regular meeting, to the effect that the vast body of colored people here stand ready to join the authorities and mould of public opinion through their editorial and news columns, in suppressing every phase of lawlessness and removing whatever of misunderstanding might be lodging still in the public mind, was presented to these officers.
The Mayor and Sheriff showed the lowest delight and satisfaction in the purpose and spirit of our mission, and dismissed the fullest co-operation with the Association in all matters affecting the relations here. But each stressed opinion that our understanding and friendly relations were too close and willing for any sort of trouble to grow among San Antonio people.
Mr. Huntree, president of the Daily Express Publishing Co., assured us that the Express would ever advocate close and friendly relations between the races that had always done, and that its news commits would remain closed to excitement and highly colored accounts of race conflicts—such accounts as would be treated into acts of violence by the restless classes. They also commended the high stand taken by the Association for the public good."
This report was signed by S. J. Johnston, Pastor St. James A. M. E. Church; H. M. Tarver, Principal Dunbar School; H. S. Sims, Pastor Bethel A. M. E. Church.
LACK OF CANDIDATES FOR
CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD
APPROPAL TO THE NEW YORK ACT)
STRIKE. Mr.-The fact that Will H. Floyd will go to Canada to commit his studies for the priesthood is out the fact that no colored man wearing holy orders is studying at Catholic seminary in this country. Mr. Floyd was graduated from Epiphany Catholic College two years ago. When he became known that he was going to study for the priesthood at St. Mary's Seminary, where Cardinal Gibbons was educated, some opposition is said to have developed, but he entered, however. The reason for his going to Canada now has not been disclosed.
Cardinal Gibbons, who has encouraged the movement for colored priests, has called a conference to discuss the status of the work among colored Catholics.
ROCHESTER PASTOR GETS
JUDGMENT SET ASIDE
(Special to The New York Acs)
(Special to The New York Acq)
ROCHESTER, N. Y.-Supreme Court
Justice Rodenbeck Thursday morning
handed down a decision vacating the
judgment secured by Dr. James E.
Mason against the Rev. Edward D. W.
Jones, pastor of the Zion A., M. E.
Church on Favor street. On August 6
judgment was secured before a sheriff's
jury against Jones for $1,000, he
failing to appear. Later Jones was arrested
on a body execution, but was
admitted to bail, members of his congregation going on his bond. Through McInerney and Bechtold an attorney's motion was made before Judge Rodenbeck to vacate the judgment on the ground that Jones had never been served in the case.
The motion to set aside the verdict was argued last Monday and decision rendered last Thursday morning, which not only sets aside the judgment but assumes $10 costs upon Mason. Judge Rodenbeck holds that Jones was not properly served. C. D. Kichel appeared for Mason.
The following resolution was passed by unanimous vote:
"Resolved, That we, the members of the Colored Community Club, numbering five hundred and fifty, in meeting abnormally, do unqualifiedly stand behind the Christian character, conduct and high moral standing of Hoy, B. D. W. Jonah, pastor of the A. M. R. Bless Church, and do pledge him the united support of the colored people of this community in his endeavor."

Among the many sight-seers in New York, viewing the region of Times Square last week, was the President-elect of Liberia, Charles D. B. King, who arrived late Wednesday night on the steamship Carmania. The distinguished visitor was met by Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore, Liberian Consul General and H. F. Worley, the American financial adviser of the West African Republic.
The President-elect of Liberia is American credit, and with the elimination of the German influence from confer with the officials of the State and Treasury Departments through the trade of Liberia was German before whom a loan of $5,000,000 was recently granted the Republic of Liberia, and to get better acquainted with leaders of thought and opinion among the colored people of America. He will probably spend most of his time in Washington, where an elaborate program is being arranged for his entertainment.
Liberia is one of the most progressive, independent nations of Africa, and was founded mainly by colored Americans, who wished to aid in the advancement of the Negro race in Africa. The success of the Republic, it is pointed out, is due to a great extent to the interest shown in the Republic by the colored people of the United States. Liberia was an ally of the United States during the late war.
With this coming arrangement," said President-elect King at the Astor, "we feel very happy, for we know we
Having been a delegate to the peace conference, and having made a visit to England, which has strongly influenced Liberia, President-elect. King took the opportunity to come across to America to get better acquainted. His visit will last only about two weeks. At the expiration of that time he returns home. He has been away from Liberia since last January, when he left for Paris. Having been chosen as the sole candidate for the Presidency to succeed Daniel Howard, the present President of Liberia, his election in August was a quiet affair. He will be inaugurated on the first Monday in next January.
The President-elect is now Secretary of State for Liberia. He is 43 years old and was born in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, of a native father and a West Indian mother. He is accompanied in New York by his wife, a cultured young woman who was born in Liberia, and who finished her education at Howard University, Washington.
He sent the opening of a new term for Liberia with the extension of the

American credit, and with the elimination of the German influence from Liberia. Fully 70 per cent of the trade of Liberia was German before the war. Liberia sided with the Allies, and was bombarded on April 10, 1918, by a German super-submarine which came into the harbor and demanded that the French wireless be dismantled. Absolutely unprotected Monrovia was saved after forty-nine shots had been fired by a British merchantman which carried only one three pound gun. The merchantman drove the submarine away, suffering three-hits herself. Now all the Germans are out of Liberia and England and France, having agreed that the joint direction is a failure, have consented to withdraw and allow the United States single control. "With this coming arrangement," said President-elect King at the Astor, "we feel very happy, for we know we are the child of the greatest country on earth, and we feel that we are going to progress as never before. "We need a railroad, we need bridges, we need harbor improvements, we need roads, we need a better school system and we need expert training for our farmers. The $5,000,000 credit will help us with the most of these."
PATERSON WORKERS JOIN
PATTERN, N. J.—Through the efforts of the Colored Men's Civic association a large number of colored people have gone into the American Federation of Labor. The charter and working cards will be delivered to the members at the next regular meeting. Already men have had wages raised to union scale. Some men who would not join the union have lost their jobs and have been neglected by union colored men.
Schools and Churches Burned in Country Districts State Militia Use Machine Guns in Knoxville, Tennessee
Southern news dispatches, within the past week, have brought the intelligence of the further spread of mob violence and rioting, directed against Negroes, in the States of Georgia and Tennessee. In Georgia the objects of the wrath of the white mob appeared to the churches, schools and halls occupied by Negro secret societies. Several of these buildings in the smaller towns were reported destroyed by fire. The pretext in most cases was that the Negroes had firearms secreted on the premises.
The other outbreak was at Knoxville, Tenn., where the mob attacked the county jail to seize a Negro held on the charge of killing a white woman. In this case the militia was called out by the governor and fired upon the mob, using machine guns. In the fighting on Sunday night two were reported killed and sixteen wounded. The press reports give the following details:
Knoxville, Tenn.—Race rioting began here soon after midnight last Sunday night and continued intermittently throughout the day. Two persons are known to be dead, four are dying and scores are believed injured, though the total of casualties remains uncertain.
The disorder followed an attack last night of a mob of more than 1,000 persons on the county jail, bent on obtaining Maurice Mayes, a Negro accused of having killed a white woman. National Guard troops, called out to maintain order, opened, fire twice during the day with machine guns on armed forces who attempted to march in touchies. It has two spacious stories groups into the main part of the city over a basement, all hygienically ar-
Police Reinforced by Militia.
The roots were quelled before dawn by quick action of the police, but with the renewed circulation of reports that civilians were being robbed in the Negro quarter and that unarmed soldiers had been fired upon the disorders broke out again.
The Negro district had been practically without police, and a body of more than one hundred whites advanced toward the Negro barricade at Vine and Central streets. As the whites advanced, the Negroes opened fire from behind their stockade. The whites returned the fire, but ineffectually.
Call were sent out by the municipal authorities for militia aid. The 4th Tennessee Infantry, under command of Admiral General D. B. Sweeten, of Nashville, and Colonel Ewing Caruthers, of Memphis, which was encamped just outside the city, was rushed to the scene of the fighting. Twelve hundred strong, the troops advanced toward Vine street and Central avenue, where the white civilians had been driven back. As the troops advanced the intrenched Negroes again opened fire, and the troops returned volley for volley, driving the Negroes to cover.
The casualty list as reported Sunday, stood: The identified dead:
PAYNE, JAMES M. (white), first lieutenant, U. S. A.; home, Madisonville, Ky.
ETTER R. JOE. Negro storekeeper.
HENDLERSON, E. V., private, U. S. A., expected to die.
In addition, it is reported that fourteen others, eight whites and six Negroes, are in hospitals, of whom two whites and two Negroes are not expected to recover. Sixteen white men (Continued on Second Page)
PROCEEDINGS PLANNED AGAINST TEXAS MOBBISTS
By JOHN R. SHILLADY.
Unless Texas repudiates the statement of her Governor expressing satisfaction with a brutal and unprovoked attack upon an unoffending United States citizen she will have confessed herself a lawless state. I went to the capital of Texas, record than could be obtained from an Austin, having telegraphed the At-t examination of the Association's annual attorney General and a Justice of the report and other publications, copies of Peace offering any information con- which I brought for that purpose.
Unless Texas repudiates the sta-satisfaction with a brutal and unp- United States citizen she will have. I went to the capital of Texas, Austin, having telegraphed the Attorney General and a Justice of the Peace offering any information concerning the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which they desired. My first call after meeting with a committee of the local branch of our organization was at the office of the Governor. That being closed, I proceeded to the Attorney General's office and conferred with acting Attorney General W. A. Keeling. I offered him the fullest information concerning the purposes, methods and work of the Association, handing him a copy of our most important publications. After this interview, which lasted some time, I proceeded to the Adjutant General's office where I had an extended interview with acting adjutant general Col. W. D. Cope. I informed both of these officials of my intention to see the Governor and the commander of the Texas Rangers. The object of my journey to Austin was to ascertain why the books and papers and other property of the local branch of the Association has been sub-purposed by a local Justice of the Peace and committed by State officials and to offer to these officials a much fuller

$100,000 PLANT FOR
CORPUS CHRISTI PARISH
(Special to THE New York Acq)
New Orleans, LA.-Standing on the square bounded by Onzaga, D'Abadie, North Johnson and North Galvez streets may be seen a grand modern school building in concrete and tiles, virtually only waiting the finishing touches. It has two spacious stories over a basement, all hygienically arranged in their appointments. In the center an alvee rises from the floor over the basement to the full height of the structure. This is the chapel of the school, with its own walls, doors and windows, allowing it sunlight and fresh air, like the four school rooms on each side. In a word, the structure provides for five distinct and separate buildings in one. Ground has been reserved on the Johnson street side of this school building for the erection of a modern church edifice.
The property has been bought for the congregation of the Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church of Corpus Christi parish of the archdiocese of New Orleans. The congregation is duly incorporated under the laws of the State, holding a charter for the purpose of educational and religious exercises.
It is estimated that the cost of the school building will be about one hundred thousand dollars. Considerable of this sum of money has been raised in cash and Father Kelly and leading members of his congregation feel that every outstanding note will be taken up when due. The people who constitute this congregation are largely of that race of free people of color, of which New Orleans boasted so many of education and wealth years ago.
A picnic given at the Fair Grounds recently for the benefit of the building fund netted $2,830. The pastor, Father John F. Kelly, is one of the most outspoken and courageous white friends of the colored people in the whole state. Father Kelly has succeeded splendidly in making up one of the largest congregations of colored Catholics ever established here.

In the light of these facts it is sheer and deliberate falsification for Texas moblists to charge me with being an "agitator" and inciting Negroes against white men.
The assault upon me, by a group of men, including a county judge and a constable, occurred after I had been halled before a secret session of a so-called "court of inquiry" in which in addition to legitimate questions I was asked insulting personal questions by the county attorney, such as:
"If you're such a nigger lover why don't you go and stay in a nigger hotel?" and personal references as to how I'd like to have my wife in close personal association with "niggers."
The county judge who took part in the assault in broad daylight on one of the main streets of the capital of Texas was present at that secret session of the court and had full opportunity to hear all of my testimony. Had there been the slightest question as to the legitimacy of my intentions and acts, it is perfectly certain that I would have been

Two Negroes were shot and two hayonetied by members of the National Guard when the blacks resisted the search being made for concealed weapons.
Officer Killed by Machine Gun.
Lieutenant Payne, the only officer killed, was brought down accidentally when he was trying to pot a sniper. He was nearly 200 yards ahead of the machine gun forces when he and the others of his party were fired upon from a second story window. Payne stepped into the open, directly in front of the machine gun fire and fell with more than a dozen wounds in his legs and body. He died in an ambulance. Sheriff Cate caused the arrest Monday of ten white men on charges of assisting prisoners to escape when the jail was attacked Saturday night. Other arrests on this charge and that of rotting are promised. The situation has improved to such extent that Adjutant-Gen. E. B. Sweeney sent home the Third Battalion of the Fourth Tennessee Infantry. Labor Day celebrations were held separately by the whites and Negroes, as originally planned, the only change being that a scheduled parade was abandoned. No disorder of any kind was reported.
Troops still were patrolling the business district and the Negro sections with machine guns in position in the heart of the black belt, but search of citizens for weapons has been discontinued and the barred zones in the Negro districts have been abandoned.
A special session of the Grand jury has been called for Wednesday to investigate the roots and to consider the case of Maurice Mayes, accused of murdering Mrs. Bertie Lindsey early Saturday, which crime inspired the sterning of the county jail Saturday night and the subsequent race roots.
AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL
AT PORT ROYA
The Port Royal Agricultural School for Negroes is located on Port Royal Island near Beaufort, S.C. where it was established in 1802. It has the endowment of the state county and district public school authorities. Its principal, J. S. Shanklin, is a graduate of Turkegue. Its trustees are prominent white citizens of the neighborhood. It has had seventeen successful years, having grown from a very modest beginning to a place of large influence.
The Slater, General Education Board, Jeans and Rosewaird funds for Negro education are now spent, with comparatively few exceptions, through the public school authority this for public schools Beaufort County, South Carolina, has a population that is over 50 per cent Negro, and is therefore much in need of assistance.
To this school has come the opportunity of assisting in the establishment of a county training school under the Smith Hughes act by desiring its school building and some forty acres of land to the trustees of Beaufort School District Number One. This would put the school in a position to possess assistive tools from each of the private families and from the district taxes. A consideration of local schools would also place that would bring five times the present local funds to the school. The Post Royal Agricultural School trustees, after this transfer of property would still hold about 500 acres of land, two barns, two dormitories, a lower plant and approximately the same equipment.
This arrangement, however, does not make full provision for a new school opening that the Resewald fund would require. The Resewald fund would now $2,000 provided as much more shall be raised from other sources. The old buildings need $1,000 in repairs. For teachers' salaries over $500 must be raised this first year, as some of the funds have made up their 1919-1920 budgets and cannot assist until next year. Other items amount to $500 more.
To cover these needs, additional contributions to the extent of $3,725 are solicited. J. s. Shanklin, principal, is being sent by the trustees to personally present this situation to those who have so generously helped the school in the past and to others who may now be interested. A hearing for him is solicited by the trustees. He is now in New York City.
1700 STUDENTS ENROLLED
AT TUSKEGEE
(Official to THE NEW YORK ACE)
TUSKLEE INSTITUTE, ALA.-On Tuesday, September 9, the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute will begin its thirty-ninth annual session. Dr. Robert R Moton, Principal, announced that for the past two months the applications for enrollment have come in in such large number that it has been necessary to decline to admit new students. The dormitory space when filled to its capacity can accommodate something like seventen hundred students. It is interesting to note, however, that while admissions have been accepted and approved for all of the available dormitory space, more than a thousand applications have been filed which the School was unable to accept. This is perhaps the largest advance enrollment in the history of the Institute.
TRENTON SCHOOL OF DESIGNING

FARPLAY URGED UPON
EDITORS AT SEATTLE
(Special to The New York Age)
SEATTLE, WASH.-Appealing to the National Editorial Association for fairness in the treatment of news regarding the Negro, Lieut. James A. Roston supreme brother of the Benevolent Protective Brotherhood, sent a letter to the convention which recently met in this city, in which he declares the American Negro is a 100 per cent. American and entitled to equal rights with other Americans. He said in part:
"You no doubt have watched the advancement of the people of America and especially that of the Negro American. You have noticed how he has been exploited, misquoted and published as little less than a brute. Occurrences are magnified without foundation; imaginary crimes are published in order to further a propaganda kent up by the American press.
"The Negro American has been loyal to American institutions and has always stood for everything American, and why unreliable reports should be printed broadcast about him over the world is more than can be understood.
"The American press shapes the destinies of the people of the United States of America, and you, gentlemen, here assembled, are responsible for whatever is the outcome of public thought. On behalf of the 18,000,000 Negroes of this country, I ask that you consider the Negro a 100 per cent. American, and render to him every right shown all other American citizens, for he is not an ingrate, nor a cringing apologist."
SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSED
AT BORDENTOWN, N. J
(Special to THE NEW YORK AM)
Bosch Snyg. N. J.-The summer school at the Bordentown Industrial School came to a close on Friday evening. August 22, with exercises in the chapel. There was music by a selected chorus and the report of the summer school was read. Five students who were fortunate enough to skip a grade by their work, gave short testimonies to the value of the summer school.
This has been the most successful year of the school as far as the attendance and progress made are concerned. In the summer school students may anticipate work for the ensuing year, work off conditions from the past year, or may strengthen themselves in a weak subject. In addition to those excellent opportunities for study, there is time for healthful recreation, sports and play are systematically organized. Summer school is very fast becoming one of the most important terms.
The following students were able to save a whole year by making a double promotion from Group 2 to the Junior Group: Kate Webb, Anna Scroggin, Rissie Barnes, and Sherman Cole. Harry Hall was able to skip Group 2 and will be in Group 1 in the fall. These students were able to pass off conditions during the summer: Tifford Jones, Earl Peterson, Estella Watson, Helen Gibson, Wendell Gibbs, Nelson Braxton and Mildred Boone.
These students did excellent work during the summer session: Queenen Carson, Rachel White, Ella Mann, Mildred Boone, Tiffina Gibson, Nina Morgan, Erik Williams and Joel Stoll. The fall term will begin Sept. 15. A new golf chemistry class can be completed and there will be a tournament to be held in September.
RESULTS OF PRIMARY
CONTESTS IN HARLEM
The results of Tuesday's battle at the primaries, as appeared on Wednesday morning, showed that the colored voters had gained the regular nomination for at least three candidates in the various Harlem districts.
In the 21st Assembly District John C. Hawkins was nominated by the Republicans for a second term. I Frank Wheaton received the regular Democratic nomination in the same district, making the peculiar situation of two colored candidates opposing each other for the Legislature.
For Aldermen Dr. Charles H. Roberts received the regular Republican nomination in the 27th District. In the 26th District Geo. W. Harris was nominated. Miss M. L. Smith was nominated for Assembly in the 19th District, thus carrying out the agreement arrived at between the white and colored Republicans at their various conferences.

THE NEW YORK AGE. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6/1919
PROCEEDINGS PLANNED
arrested in so hostile an environment.
After the hearing the presiding judge invited me to come to his office to confer with him that night. This invitation I declined although at that time I did not think as I do now that it would have meant an assault, if not a killing, in the seclusion of an unkempt second story office, as my assaultants the next morning were the same group that loitered about the building in which the court was held.
While directly opposite the Hotel Driskill I was approached from behind by a group of men in an automobile. One of them, the constable who had summoned me to the secret session the day before, took hold of my arm while the rest gathered round. Anticipating another subpoena, I waited expectantly. Instead of, a subpoena, I was showered with blows from all sides. No assistance was offered me on the street or when I went into the hotel.
The Association will not allow this darstardly attack to pass unchallenged. What happened to me personally is of little consequence. The law has been defamed. Mob violence, which the Association is pledged to fight, has received the sanction of the Governor of Texas. The Association will therefore act as follows:
1. Congress will be asked to investigate this specific assault on the ground that the Governor of Texas approved a criminal assault made by public officials upon a citizen of another state.

3. Governor Smith of New York will be called upon to demand protection for citizens of New York visiting Texas.

AOLLEGE that has its students devote one half their time to actual useful work is so in line with common sense that we are amazed that the idea had to be put in execution by an ex-slave as a life-saver for his disfranchised race.

ENLIGHTENING CONGRESS
The members of Congress have had a great opportunity to become fully informed as to the state of Negro sentiment on the question of rights and privileges denied the race in America. The first opportunity for Congress to become more fully informed upon this subject was through the efforts of a representative from
South Carolina, who read into the record the demands of several so-called radical publications for the protection of the life and liberty of Negroes in various sections of the country. This was in the House.
The Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate next heard the representatives of three Negro organizations, who urged the claims of the race to justice and equity and protested against continued oppression. True, it is stated, that only five members of the committee, all Republicans, listened to the demands of the speakers, but there is no excuse for any member of Congress lacking information on this subject.
This flood of enlightenment should enable the present Congress to proceed understandingly in the adoption of some remedial legislation, to correct the abuses and protect the lives and property of oppressed races in the United States, at least, without attempting to regulate the rest of the world.
It should be clearly understood that the Negro is seeking no special privileges, in the Southland or elsewhere. He is seeking only the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that should be the portion of every citizen of this country. Any attempt of the Southern advocates to prove the contrary is pure subterfuge and camouflage, and an evasion of the true issue.
FAIR PLAY IN THE NEWS The plea recently presented to the members of the National Editorial Association, which met at Seattle, Washington for fairness in the treatment of news regarding the Negro, was not without ample justification. While there has been a distinct advance in the editorial treatment of questions affecting the race, the news columns are still open to a flood of misleading and often, false reports of a criminal and disparaging nature, capped by exaggerated headlines. Even when the news account is unobjectionable in the body, the headline is often so doctored as to convey a distorted meaning to discredit the race.
Nevertheless the sense of fair play is growing and there is every reason to believe that the policy of inmost of the American press is to give an unbiased and
impartial account of matters relating to the Negro, except where the baleful influence of the Southern propaganda gets in its fine work. When this sentiment is suffered to creep into a newspaper office, and few are free from it, it is ever on the job of "keeping the Negro down." The work of these propagandists is frequently unknown to the responsible conductors of the journals in which their influence is manifest.
Eternal vigilance on the part of those misrepresented is necessary to defeat their subtle machinations. The eyes of the fairminded American editors should be opened to the devious devices of Southern propaganda.
LETTERS FROM THE MOB
LETTERS FROM THE MOB The brutal nature of the Southern mobbists and their sympathizers has never been more forcibly demonstrated than in the expressions made by these creatures themselves. This was shown some months ago in a letter to THE AGE, entitled "The Soul of a Lyncher," by himself. This human document was a revelation in criminal psychology.
Almost equally self-revealing are some expressions made by those potential criminals who approve the recent outrageous assault upon the secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We print below a copy of a card received by Mr. Shillady: Cincinnati, Aug. 25th, 19. Deer Sir.
I saw you arrive in the Union Sta. in St. Louis and the "boot-heads" greet you. You ought to have better sense than to bother about niggers. We have a lot of them here, and they are insolent, and occupy jobs that white men should have. Come here and get trimmed again.
(Signed) JAMES PETRAL.
74 Carlisle Ave.
Another, from a so-called officer of the law, was addressed to Miss Mary White Ovington. It read:
Yours of the 18th inst. received Your Secretary, John R. Shillady, reached Austin, and was received by red blooded white men. As we did not need any of his kind here (negro loving white men) we have sent him back home to you. We attend to our own affairs down here, and suggest that you do the same up there. (Signed) GENE BARBISH, Dipy Sheriff, Austin, Tex. The problem of how to deal with such crass brutality and ignorance, as pictured in these self-revelations, is one for the criminal psychologist or lacking that, the warden of the county jail. The Home and Foreign Mission societies seem to steer clear of the heathen in their midst.
BAPTISTS SHOULD GET TOGETHER:
The National Baptist Convention, which has split into two wings, will hold separate meetings in two different places. September 10. Norfolk, Va., and Newark, N. J., are the cities in which the delegates to the two bodies will hold their sessions.
The holding of these separate meetings between brethren of the same faith is the result of the controversy over the matter of the publication house, which has rent this great denomination of the Negro race asunder. As the question is primarily one of dollars and cents, it should seem possible for the disunited brethren to submit the business side of the dispute to the arbitration of fair minded business men, and thus settle the secular points of the controversy on a basis of equity and business principles.
The broad mantle of Christian charity should then be thrown over the remaining points left unsettled and the denomination should reunite its forces in one solid phalanx, ready to war against the world, the flesh and the devil to the best of its ability.
Continued dissension and division can but weaken the influence of the church as a force for the advancement of Christianity and racial uplift. Let the brethren dwell together in unity, as the precepts of the Gospel advise them.
THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1979
SOME MORE ABOUT RADICALISM AND THE NEGRO.
What we have said in this column recently about radicalism and the Negro seems to have stirred up a good bit of interest. We have received a number of communications which make it appear that in writing as we did we suggested a sonicwhat new line of thought to many of our readers.
One letter which we received rather takes us up not only on our ideas but our power to express them. Nevertheless, it is quite an interesting letter so we reproduce it below in full:
To the Editor of The New York Act:
In an editorial appearing in your issue of August 9 and bearing the title, "Radicalism and the Negro," the writer attempts to clarify our notions with respect to radicalism as it affects the black man. Repudiating the charge that "the doctrine of the I. W. W. and other radical agitators has had a dangerous effect upon the Negro," he asserts that "real radicalism has not yet reached the masses of the race." But what does the writer mean by real radicalism? Although he does not attempt to define it for us, yet from his argument we are led to the conclusion that real radicalism means anything that is considered radical by the rest of the world, for, says he, "the things that the Negro is radical about are not considered radical by the rest of the world." In other words, what the writer has said is tantamount to saying that the circle is a geometrical figure which is circular.
In an editorial appearing in your issue of A title, "Radicalism and the Negro," the writer notions with respect to radicalism as it affects eating the charge that "the doctrine of the L. W. agitators has had a dangerous effect upon the "real radicalism has not yet reached the masses does the writer mean by real radicalism? Although to define it for us, yet from his argument we are that real radicalism means anything that is rest of the world, for, says he, "the things about are not considered radical by the rest of words, what the writer has said is tantamount to is a geometrical figure which is circular. As a matter of fact, the writer is using theism in entirely two different ways. As real radiation on the end to which activity is directed; something, it concentrates attention upon the employed. Insofar as real radicalism means that he himself with any agency designed to bring about in our system of government, the writer is justition from this classification for him on the ground sought and is seeking are identical with those by the rest of the civilized world, namely, property, and the like. But, insofar as radics employed to secure ends, there is considerable of Negro is beyond: the pale of this classification, for the belligerent attitude of a number of the members the resolution adopted at the Palace Casino in New two thousand Negroes endorsed the method of a means of attaining their ends. Is it not possible, then, that although the Negro he might become radical enough to employ me, met the disapproval of organized society, and, in their own purposes? We agree with the editor that the Negro is not nism, but we fail to see where this makes him if adopting the suggested methods of such organi. Let us continue to warn our black brother, there ensued by propaganda which makes for extreme, a conduct.
As a matter of fact, the writer is using the term radical or radicalism in entirely two different ways. As real radicalism, it focuses attention on the end to which activity is directed; as being radical about something, it concentrates attention upon the means or methods employed. Insofar as real radicalism means that the Negro has not allied himself with any agency designed to bring about fundamental changes in our system of government, the writer is justified in claiming exemption from this classification for him on the ground that the ends he has sought and is seeking are identical with those which have been attained by the rest of the civilized world, namely, protection of life, safety of property, and the like. But, insofar as radicalism means the methods employed to secure ends, there is considerable doubt as to whether the Negro is beyond the pale of this classification, for we cannot fail to note the belligerent attitude of a number of the members of the race; notably, the resolution adopted at the Palace Casino in New York at which nearly two thousand Negroes endorsed the method of force and violence as a means of attaining their ends. Is it not possible, then, that although the Negro is not "really radical," he might become radical enough to employ methods that have so far met the disapproval of organized society, and, in the end, have defeated their own purposes?
We agree with the editor that the Negro is not guilty of real radicalism, but we fail to see where this makes him immune from the danger of adopting the suggested methods of such organizations as the I. W. W. Let us continue to warn our black brother, therefore, against being influenced by propaganda which makes for extreme, disorderly, unsanctioned conduct.
Ann Arbor, Mich., Aug. 30.

We see no reason why the article referred to should have puzzled our correspondent so much as he shows himself to be in the first paragraph of his letter. He seems to be puzzled because we did not lay down precise definitions of the terms which we used. How some people do love a definition.
When the writer was a small boy in school and had to sit and listen to the various visitors make speeches on education, he remembers that a great many of them began their remarks with the question, "What does the word education mean?" They then proceeded to lay down the following stereotyped definition: the word education comes from two Latin words, e or ex, out of, and duco, to lead; therefore and so on. He also remembers that the speeches which began with this definition were the poorest to which he was compelled to listen.
We could have defined the word radical, tracing it from its Latin origin, but we did not deem this necessary because we were dealing with a term and with terms which thinking people the world over have been using almost constantly during the past five years. What we were after pointing out was the fact that the things which the Negro in the United States is demanding—protection of life, security of property, trial by a jury of peers, the right to vote (that is, for men)—are no longer in the programs of the radicals of the world. At the same time we pointed out that the Negro is radical, relatively; for, in that sense, it is an extremely radical thing for the Negro to demand the right to vote in Mississippi. Perhaps this distinction somewhat confused our correspondent.
Our object in pointing out this fact is to hit on the head the propaganda that the Negro is a "dangerous radical" because he is demanding the common and fundamental rights that are accorded to all other citizens of the country.
Our correspondent complains that we did not state what real radicalism means. It is true we did not define it, but we gave as an example of modern radicalism the demand being made by railway employees that they have a share in the management and the profits of the railroads. Here we have a demand which attacks the theory of property rights which has been maintained ever since there was such a thing as private property.
Mr. Price quotes from our article, "the things that the Negro is radical about are not considered radical by the rest of the world," and adds that this is tantamount to saying that a circle is a geometrical figure which is circular. If the slightly ironic sense in which the word radical was used the first time in the above quoted phrase went over our correspondent's head, it is hot our fault.
The main difficulty with Mr. Price is that while he is accusing us of using terms loosely, he himself is using ideas loosely. It is plain to see from the second and third paragraphs of his letter that he falls into the popular error of ignorance and confounds radicalism with violence. Many of the most radical changes ever wrought have been brought about without any exercise of violence; and violence does not necessarily have as its object a radical end. The "belligerent attitude" of a couple of thousand people assembled would be no proof that they were actuated by radical ideas any more than would the peaceful and orderly assembly of a like number be proof that they were not actuated by radical ideas.
As to the last paragraph of our correspondent's letter we wish to say that he is mistaken in thinking that the article on which he comments was intended by us as a lecture to our readers on "the evils of radicalism" and a protest against radical thinking and action on the "part of colored people. An intelligent radical group in the race is necessary to its progress.
We repeat: Our object in saying what we have said about the Negro and radicalism is to combat the propaganda that the Negro is a "dangerous radical" because he is demanding the common fundamental rights that are accorded to all other citizens of the country.

MORE OF THE FRUITS OF LAWLESSNESS
Another outbreak of mob violence; this time at Knoxville, Tenn. According to press reports, Maurice Mayes, a colored man, had been arrested on the charge of complicity in the murder of a white woman. A mob of white men formed to lynch him. Mayes had been removed to Chattanooga for safe keeping. The mob declined to accept the word of the jailers on this point, and shot out the windows, battered down the doors, gained entrance to the jail and permitted sixteen prisoners, several of them convicted murderers, to escape. Foiled in its attempt to get Mayes, and driven from the vicinity of the jail by guardsmen who had been brought into the city hurriedly, the mob spread into the colored sections of the town, and the race rioting began.
The Knoxville riot was smaller in extent than either the Washington or the Chicago riots, but relatively it was as great; for Knoxville is a small city. Up to this time there are about a half dozen fatalities and a score of casualties. A large part of the Negro casualties was due to the fire of the guardsmen. As usual, the first exercise of legal authority was directed against the defending blacks rather than against the offending whites.
What causes are the enemies of the race going to assign for the Knoxville riot? There was no "crime wave." There was no bitter economic competition. A murder had been committed; a colored man had been accused of complicity in the murder; the man had been arrested and was in the hands of the law. If ever there was no excuse for a mob, it was in this case.
The only discernible cause for the Knoxville riot is pure, unadulterated hellishness on the part of certain white people in and about Knoxville.
The Knoxville riot adds emphasis to a fact which has already been proclaimed to the country by the Washington and the Chicago riots: The Negro will no longer allow himself to be mobbed free of cost. Those who indulge in mobbing him now and hereafter have got to pay the cost, and pay it in lives.
There are lots of white people who are holding up their hands in horror at this state of mind in which the race now is, people who have never held up their hands even in depreciation at the beating and killing and shooting and hanging and burning alive of Negroes by mobs. And there are some colored people, timid souls, who are greatly distressed over what seems to be a sudden turn about in the attitude of the race.
The race as a whole is not worried and will not be deterred by either set of people. Deep down in its consciousness is a grim determination, the determination that when unprotected by the law it will defend itself against the mob, and do so to the death.
The Negro has tried every other expedient. He has been humble, he has been patient and long suffering, he has prayed to God and he has petitioned the Government; now he has determined When death at the hands of a mob confronts him, to stand in his tracks and die like a man and not like a hunted animal.
In this determination the Negro has every measure of Right on his side; in it his conscience is absolutely clear; for in it he does not take the position of committing lawlessness, but of combatting lawlessness.
To those who are holding up their hands in horror at the fact that the Negro is determined to defend himself against lawlessness when the law itself leaves him unprotected we say, abolish the lawlessness, and with equal justice enforce the law, and that will do away with any necessity for the Negro to meet with death—death at the hands of the mob.

The National Association of Dancing Masters sent out from their annual convention a plea to the Methodist Episcopal Church to lift the ban on dancing. The dancing masters promised something in return. They promised a reform in the styles and the manner of exerting dances that would rid the pastime of all vestige of immodesty or naughtiness or worse.
Some of the reforms promised are as follows: No shimmie, no tight holding, no clutching of the lady's arm around the man's neck with her head resting on his shoulder, no wriggle, no jiggle, no wiggle.
Perhaps it has not yet slammed on the dancing masters that the control of so-called ballroom dancing has slipped from their hands, or, better, their feet.
In the old days when new quadrilles, new lanciers, and new schottisches were danced each season, and when, besides, a lot of fancy dances were invented, dancing-masters were a necessity, if one wanted to be known as an up-to-date dancer. The dancing masters dominated the ballroom floor because most of the old dances had to be danced exactly so, and to dance them exactly so one had to be shown by a master or some other good dancer.
But to-day things have changed. No young folks care to dance anything but the one-step and the waltz; and both of these are individual dances, go-as-you please dances. Any person who will ever dance can learn the one-step by watching other people do it for awhile and then trying it out himself a few times.
The individual dances, that is, the dances which depend on the manner in which only two people feel they should be danced, hold undisputed sway. Over these dances the dancing master has small control.
In the new reforms the masters laid down the following rule for the one-step: There must be at least two inches between the gentleman and the lady. The masters may lay down the rule, but we are inclined to believe that the girl with the grapevine tendencies will eling just as close to her partner next season as she did last. The question is: (Can the dancer next season as she did last.
MEANINGLESS TITLES.
MEANINGLESS TITLES.
Outside the British empire, colored newspapers are the only palladiums that continue, and inappropriately, too, to use the prefix "Hon." before the names of Tom, Dick and Harry. All of them, sometimes, make this error—some are guilty of the omission fifty-two weeks in the year. It has become not only disgusting to colored men—who, in many instances, are the superiors in character and mental acumen of the man who prefixes "Hon." to his name, but it is nauseating.
Why do not-colored newspapers boycott that meaningless, assimulative—unjustifiable prefix "Hon." and get back, with the white press—weekly and daily, to plain "Mr." or, better still, the plainer name of the individual?—Cleveland Ideate.

A. SOCIAL PRIVILEGE,
The New York World.
Leading citizens of Austin, Tex., including a Judge and constable, who disapprove of the activities of a visitor to their city for the advancement of the Negro, explain that assault and battery is a social privilege imposed upon them by the high positions of responsibility that they hold. Some communities might resent a Judge's assuming the unselfish duty of beating into helplessness a person whose views he disliked. But a Judge naturally can resume his place on the bench and continue to administer justice under the law.

Phila. North American
AN IRISH-AMERICAN
DECLARES FOR JUSTICE
To the Editor of The New York Age:
I read with great interest your editorial in The Age of August 9 last entitled "A Logical Conclusion." It referred to the fact that the United Irish Societies of Philadelphia had passed a resolution declaring for the right of liberty of all oppressed people, "whether white, black or yellow." It was very timely and appropriate.
I believe that the greatest question before the American people today is justice to the Negro; and I am very happy that the United Irish Societies, of which I have the honor to be a member, came out so clearly and definitely on the subject of universal freedom, without distinction of race, color or religion.
Being an Irish-American I would be unnatural and false to the memory of my fore-fathers (Irish-American) who fought and bled in the cause of the American revolution, if I had not an ardent and abiding desire to see Ireland a Republic, free and independent of British tyranny as my country is today. But, as a loyal American, I have in my mind and heart ever the thought of justice to the Negro, which so far has been not fully given to him, in defiance of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. Our forefathers who declared these two great documents forgot the Negro. A terrible mistake was made in not incorporating in the original Constitution a clause forever forbidding human slavery within the confines of the United States. The punishment for that was the frightful Civil War, which "emancipated" the Negro; then came the Amendment to the Constitution "enfranchising" the Negro. But to-day the Negro is denied the full rights of the freeman and voter, by chikanyen and violation of fundamental law; this country is not yet "safe for democracy" secure for democracy. This, no doubt, was the picture in the minds of European statesmen when President Wilson was addressing them on "making the world safe for democracy." They must have laughed, in the sleeves—it was, indeed, a grim joke.
I believe that every make citizen of the United States over 21 years of age—if not in jail or a lunatic asylum—should be allowed to vote without any other restrictions whatever; there should be no "educational" nor "property" test, nor "poll-tax" test. A man should never lose the right of franchise no matter what crime he may have committed; and every "pauper" should be allowed the vote. What incentive to correct citizenship is there, greater than the franchise?
All laws which discriminate against the Negro and tend to humiliate a citizen of the United States should be abolished. Away with "Jim Crow" laws, away with miscegenation laws, away with any law which offends the better moral nature of a citizen.
Amerien is not yet in exact accord with the universal "Declaration of Independence."
J. FRANCIS WALSH, M. D.
IMPRESSION MADE ON
FRENCH BY TROTTER
To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE:
You will find enclosed a letter from Mr. W. Monroe Trotter to President Wilson, which has caused the European press to speak of Mr. Trotter's just demands. Will you kindly print the same. Give credit to this man who came to Europe to fight for his people. He has done more good than any one else who has come over for that cause. He has reached all the leading delegates of the convention and has received hundreds of letters approving of his conduct. Every newspaper in Paris has given him space—from one inch to one column.
Mr. Trotter came over here under very bad circumstances and had great hardships in reaching Paris. I shall give you the description of how he looked when he first arrived in Paris. He was unshaven, very dirty, no soils on his boots, and no place to sleep. He started straight off to work and in a few days he had again the appearance of a gentleman. Then he started out to reach the people. With great difficulties, he has been successful and is the only man who has made an impression on the French. He impressed one of our leading French citizens so much, that he let him have one of his fine offices at 10 Place de la Bourse, quite near the Stock Exchange. He worked from seven in the morning often until two o'clock in the night, keeping his staff of stenotar others busy.
It would be unjust for any colored paper not to put these facts before the public. You can take reference from any paper in Paris, speaking of the man's work. May God bless him and his work, and that he may obtain victory. G. W. BAKER. Paris, France. Following is the letter of Mr. Troutter, addressed to President Wilson, referred to above: Sir: Lawlessness and mob murder against citizens of color continue to take place in our country, the U. S. A. This was so while the world peace agreement was being written. Day before yesterday, while the Entente Allies were waiting for the peace treaty to be signed by Germany, a man of color was taken by the mob from the courthouse itself in the State of Missouri and lynched in the courthouse yard, after the court had decided that life imprisonment was the punishment due the victim for killing officers when arrested.
Yesterday here in France, in your Memorial Day address at the graves of American soldiers, you declared: "I stand consecrated to the lads sent here to die." Many of them were lads of color, gallant and loyal, fighting for France, for civilization and for world democracy. Will you, therefore, for their sakes and that they shall have not died in vain, grant to their kin and race at home protection of right and life in the world, peace agreement? And will you not at once send a special message to Congress recommending that lynching be made a crime against the Federal Government?

School Children.....The Lafayette Kids
MONDAY the Lafayette Players opened the new theatrical season at the Lafayette Theatre in one of the recent Broadway successes—"Eyes of Youth" and the occasion hardly could have been more auspicious. Two large holiday audiences were thrilled by the high class acting of Miss Abbie Mitchell and her talented associates, and even the street-corner critics are frank to confess that "Eyes of Youth" is a dramatic sensation, as advertised.
At no time since Miss Mitchell's entry into the field of legitimate acting has she appeared to better advantage. In the role of Gina Ashling, one of the most difficult she has essayed to portray, she gives a convincing characterization, that would do credit to a Broadway star. As for gowns, whatever criticism there might have been made of Miss Mitchell on this subject in the past, it must be admitted by even the most fastidious that she is dressing the part in "Eyes of Youth."
Lawrence Chenault lives up to the expectations of his many admirers in the part of Peter Judson, while a very promising juvenile has been discovered in Harry Plater. William (Babe) Townsend has a small part as Alfred Brooks, counsel for the defense, which he efficiently fills as usual. Barrington Carter's work as Yogi is deserving of unstinted praise. Then there are J. Francis Mores, Alice Gorgas, Charles H. Moore, Will A. Cooke, Eddie Brown, A. B. Comathiere, Mattie Wilkes, C. L. Moore, James H. Gray, Henry Pleasant, Henry A. Colwell and David Brisane, each materially contributing to one of the most artistic successes ever registered in the history of the Lafayette Players.
The acting of the Lafayette Kids-Allan Brantley, Charles Ray, Clifford Mason, John Moseley, Tommy Moseley, Earl Brantley, Elaine Cook, Florence Parkhman, Ruth Cotton, Ivy Madden, Ruth Madden and Margaret McRae-in the school-room scene is thoroughly enjoyable. The majority of colored-children seem to take to the stage like a duck to water, and they enjoy what they are doing as much as the playgoer.
Scenically "Eyes of Youth" with the exception of "Faust," is the heaviest dramatic attraction ever staged at the Lafayette Theatre. The revolving stage is one of the unique mechanical features and the first of its kind seen in Harlem
In "Eyes of Youth" the Quality Amusement Company, now owned and controlled by Negroes, has set a high standard which is taken as a happy omen. That the colored public is eager and willing to support theatrical attractions when the producers proceed with the assumption that one must spend money in order to make money is evidenced by the big audiences that are turning out this week to see "Eyes of Youth." If this policy is religiously observed the success of the Lafayette Theatre and the new-colored circuit is assured.
MORALITY PLAY GIVEN
PH. MADAME DOSSE
GREENSTORO, N. C.-Mme, Mary Ross
Dorsey of Cambridge, Mass., who had
charge of reading and elocution classes
at the A and T. State College during its
recent summer school session, presented
the morality play, "Every Woman," by
Walter Browne. The participants were
chosen from the members of her large
class on elocution. The large auditorium
of the college chapel was packed to its
fullest capacity with prominent citizens,
both white and colored, from Greensboro
and adjoining cities, who motored
up in large numbers. The scenery, the
costumes and electric display and acting
made the finest thing of its kind ever
given in Greensboro. Mme. Dorsey has
been greatly praised for her splendid
work at the summer school in the train
FOOTBALL REVIVAL AT TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALABAMA.—The football team to represent Tuskegee Institute on the gridiron this year promises to be a winning aggregation. Last season, due to the war, many of the leading institutions did not enter actively into athletics. Tuskegee, like other institutions, turned attention for the time being, to the successful ending of the great conflict. There was only one game of football played and that was between the Student Army Training Corps of Tuskegee and Atlanta University, which resulted in a score of 21 to 6 in favor of Tuskegee.
James Gayle, in charge of athletics, has called his first practice for Sept. 9, the day the school opens, and he will be busy from then on whipping into shape the material out of which he is to build his Old Gold and Crimson eleven. Several of the old men are already in school, having remained during the vacation. Among them, there is Nofles, the stalwart left tackle whose work on the gridiron was a factor in giving to Tuskegee a championship eleven in 1917. Conway Myers with 170 pounds of avoidupois will be a strong contender for a Varsity berth this year. Myers was a substitute on the undefeated team of 1917 and showed class. He played last year with the S. A. T. C. James Clayton and Edward Johnson are old members of the squad who remained at the school during the vacation season. Charles Farmer, an aspirant for the backfield, Henry Tucker, Roosevelt Smith, Masor Hawkins and Lewis Bloxton are prospects with promise.
Arthur Simms, who was not in school last year, due to his being across the seas, has been released from military service, and is expected to return. He was an accurate thrower of long and short forward passes. Amos Williams, left-guard, will probably be seen in his old position. Williams is an aggressive player. Gardner L. Dixon writes that he has been separated from the service and that he will return to school.
LINCOLNS DOUBLE
VICTORS TWO DAYS
The Lincoln Giants won both ends of a double header at Olympic Field last Sunday. In the first they defeated the Chevrolet team by 7 to 2. Joe Williams pitched great ball. He fanned fourteen men. The Robins were easy for the locals in the second game, in which the score was 7 to 1.
The Lincoln Giants won two games from the Royal Giants Labor Day at Dexter Park, the first by a score of 3 to 1 and 2 to 0. M. Thomas held the Royals to two hits in the second game.

"The 13th Chair" will be the next big dramatic attraction to be presented at the Lafayette Theatre commencing Monday, September 8, and this unusual offering, generally recognized as the greatest mystery play of the age, is bound to set them a talking in Harlem next week the same as "Eyes of Youth" is doing this week. At a fashionable gathering at the home of a prominent New York family a seance is being held. While the lights are out a shriek is heard. When the lights go up a member of the party is found dead, having been stabbed in the neck.

ERNEST HOGAN. BOB COLE AND GEORGE WALKER
The inspector of police is hastily summoned and then there is enacted the most thrilling third degree scene ever produced on the stage. Four or five members of the party are suspected of having committed the crime, but the task of picking out the guilty party becomes a mooted question. It is not until the last act that the mystery is solved. Vaudeville and motion pictures are becoming popular with those who visit the Lafayette on Sunday. This coming Sunday Lulu Coates and Her Snacker-jacks will head the bill.

URGES MEATLESS · WEDNESDAYS
Saint Mark's Lyceum, 231 West 53rd street, desiring to assist the City's Food Administration in reducing the high cost of living, urges the people to observe Wednesday of each week as a meaeless day, for twelve consecutive weeks. The Lyceum therefore appeals to pastors of all churches and all public speakers to help in reaching the people with this suggestion. This practice of self-denial is urged an order that the people may gain relief from the uncalled for high prices charged for meat in retail meat markets, and the unfair, advantage taken of the people in many ways in many of these meat shops and markets, especially in Harlem.

STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR
Not with hot irons. But do it with (kink no-more) the greatest hair straightening preparation on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it: a preparation that all you have to do is apply it to the hair and with a little coming the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water not anything else will make it kink again after it has been so soaked. Kink-no-more is a wonderful worker. So nevertheless does it work its work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works line magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. I offer a reward of $100 for any bead of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten.
Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound. It is perfectly harmless and will not injure the skin, but it can cause falling and positively removes dandruff; promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that is necessary to keep it soft and to anyone on the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of. Kink-no-more enough to straighten from one to two heads of hair. When ordering some regular order, post your email address on the order order indoices offered to agents. Write today for special terms. Enclose I can stamp for reply. Agents wanted everywhere. 167 Prospect Avenue, N.W. 1

WARHINGTON, D. C.—President-elect C. D. B. King of the Republic of L. Liberia is here for the purpose of conferring with certain colored citizens and officials of the State and Treasury departments. Elaborate arrangements have been made for the entertainment of Mr., King. Upon his arrival a special committee of citizens met and welcomed him at the station, consisting of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Judge Robert H. Terrell, James A. Cobb, Whitfield McKinley, Archibald H. Grimke, W. H. Lewis of Boston, William L. Houston, and Dr. Ernest Lyon of Baltimore. Mr. King will spend most of his time in Washington.
Among the many Washingtonians who attended the National Medical Convention at Newark, N. J., were Dr. and Mrs. Iarry W. Freeman, Dr. and Mrs. A. H. Curtis, Dr. and Mrs. W. O. Board, Dr. and Mrs. George W. Cabinis, Dr. and Mrs. Mitchell, Dr. and Mrs. U. J. Daniels, Dr. and Mrs. Dowling, Dr. and Mrs. Edward H. Harris, Dr. C. W. Childa, Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, Dr. C. A.

Hon. Walter H. Cohen and W. H. Carter, prominent citizens of New Orleans, were in the city during the past week. Mr. Cohen is a great friend of Governor Pinchback, upon whom he called. Mr. Cohen is perhaps the most conspicuous politician of the race in the Southwest. He also called on Judge Robert H. Terrell, and saw the Democratic Senators of his State. The citizens of Washington regret that Jno. W. Davis, who has done such splendid work for the 12th street "X" here, has been called to other work as president of the State Normal School at Institute, West Virginia. The increase in revenues and the large number of new members which he secured for the "X" constitute an epoch in the work here. Mr. Davis was connected with Moorhouse College, Atlanta, before he came here.

It has organizations in a number of the States. Labor organizations of the race all over the country anxiously to obtain better conditions of work and wages are cordially invited to send representatives to the meeting.
Attorney Thomas L. Jones, who has been spending the summer at Ashbury Park, returned to the city much improved. C. S. Cimey, lawyer and real estate broker, was a visitor in Atlantic City last week. The Rev. and Mrs. W. C. Brown of John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church have as their guests Mrs. John Hines and Mrs. P. H. Capeland of Eldhaven, N. C.

SUPREME IN REPUTATION
WOMEN OF TWO RACES APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT
(Special to The New York Am)
NEWARK, N. J.—Two groups of women in New Jersey, one colored and one white, have made a moving appeal to President Wilson to personally interest himself in the adjustment of race differences in this country.
At a meeting of the Executive Board of the New Jersey Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, Mrs. Musette B. Gregory, presiding the following meeting drafted by Miss Virginia Sumner, and endorsed by the board: We officers of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of New Jersey, representing five thousand women of our State, appeal to you as President of a nation whose citizens are of every race and color to call a conference in Washington of leading men and women of the white and colored races for the adjustment of race differences which have now become appalling in this land. You have an excellent months in France in an excellent effort for interracial harmony. We beg that you will give a like skilful attention to interracial harmony here.
in a special car Aug. 24, and laid the cornerstone of Second Baptist Church of D. Berry of Foster street entertained at dinner Sunday Mrs. H. K. Price and Mrs. Mary Goode of Cleveland, who were the guests of Mrs. Lloyd Lancaster, Dewey avenue.
Madame Thurman, the hair beautifier, is home from the hospital. All enjoyed a pleasant day at the South Park picnic. The M. E. Church on Belmont avenue has a large building and it is hoped they will have great success.
Mr. Edward Reed of Frankfort, Ky., is the guest of Mrs. Chester Crawford, and other relatives. Mr. Reed lately came from Camp Taylor, Ky., where he was honorably discharged from service, having been a member of Troop E. 5th Cavalry. He has been
Referring to your speech on the U. S. S. "George Washington" on July 4, you said, "We can look back upon the history of the years that separate us from the first Fourth of July with great satisfaction, because we have kept the vision in America, we have kept the promise to ourselves that we would maintain a reign of liberty and constitutional government." Also, you said, "We have made errors of judgment, we have committed errors of action; but we have always tried to correct the errors when we have made them."
In view of these statements, your Excellency, we feel sure that after facing these serious problems squarely and finding out how universally destructive they must ultimately, be to both races, you will most gladly preserve the honor of the country which has elected you its Chief Executive by administering justice and liberty to all without discrimination; granting the Negro his inalienable rights according to the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. If America professes to be "fine" she must show herself "fine." If "the kind of freedom America has always represented is a freedom expressing itself in fact, the deep despair of America to prove it now before a world that has brought democracy for all peoples. We ask that you personally preside over this meeting as President of a country in which colored men as well as white men have laid down their lives for the principles of freedom.
We ask that the present system of quelling riots by the sending of white troops only to crush colored men into submission he abandoned and that a system of control of lawlessness more worthy of the undoubted patriotism and loyalty of colored soldiers be employed, and more worthy of the undoubted moral men and for rotting against them is everywhere made on the ground that colored men assault white women's honor. As a student of American history you know that the story of assaults white men have made on colored women's honor is written on the faces of our race. We, therefore, ask you to permit colored women and white women to come from the two races representative men from the two races representative women as no wise methods for controlling the race hatred which shames our land before the nations of the world.
White Women Ask for Justice
The second letter which was drafted by *Miss Mary Ogden White* of Summit, N. J., was as follows: We, the undersigned, white American women, appeal to you as President of a nation in which citizens of the white and black races must learn to live together in decent harmony, to call together at Washington a conference of men of both races for the adjustment of the race differences which now menace this country.
You have given thought for many months to the inter-racial questions of the whole world. We ask you for a like devotion to the great inter-racial question of the United States, and for your personal guidance of the proposed conference.
We urge you to permit no longer a system of quelling these riots by sending white troops only into lawless communities of colored soldiers who fought gallantly for this country in the late war. While white troops cow into subjection colored men and colored women, there can be no lasting harmony.
The excuse always presented for lynchings and maltreatting colored men is the charge that white women are not safe where they are. We know, Mr. President, that colored women have not been safe in this country where white men are. As white women—representing the so-called victims of the racial situation—we call upon you for justice for black men and black women. We urge you in this important crisis to take counsel of both men and women, both black and white. And, we urge that this conference be called promptly before the bitter feelings of two races rise any higher.

ABYSSINIA OFFERS
citious to know about wages and contractual relations of employer and employee in this country, as well as the relation, if any, of the government to such contracts. They also asked about taxes on the wage-carners and the information given by Dr. Haynes was carefully written down in their own system of writing, the characters resembling those of the Hebrew system. In speaking of Abyssinia, they explained that agriculture is the chief industry and that the principal crops raised are barley, wheat and coffee, in addition to the many fruits which are cultivated and raised in abundance. While they could give me detailed information about the amount imposed average and the amount and value of each principal crop, they referred to the terms of occupancy, which do not appear to differ greatly from those followed in this country.
In the towns the laborers are hired by the day, week or month, and are paid wages in a manner similar to the laborers here. But if the laborer is not paid wages according to agreement, or if he does not complete his job according to contract, the officers of the government may be called in to compel the defaulting party to fulfill his part.
The gentlemen of the Commission were greatly interested in the progress being made by the American Negroes and expressed a desire to keep in touch with Dr. Haynes, with whom they exchanged addresses.

Auto Instruction
We believe that the action of the Southern Labor congress in admitting Negroes to the labor unions on an equal footing with whites is not only in conformity with manifest injustice but as in line with the best tradition of the south. In the south social intermixture of whites and blacks is not discusable or discussed; but we trust that we have equally decided ideas as to what constitutes industrial justice. It has been our boost that the south has never denied the Negro an equal chance with the white man to make an honest living. The Southern Labor congress, in admitting him to the labor unions, is making good that boast.
It is a particularly happy coincidence that the congress has taken the step at a moment when disturbances in other sections of the country were driving home to the Negro the bitter truth that some parts of the country not only refuse to have him as a social equal, but are ready to resort to violence to deprive him of his chance to earn an honest livelihood. God knows, the south is in no position to boast of its handling of the race question; blunders and crimes have attended our efforts all along, and the thing is far from a solution yet. But one thing we have maintained consistently, one thing we are absolutely sure of: the Negro has precisely the same right that the white man possesses to eat bread in the sweat of his face. To deprive the Negro of the chance to labor and to enjoy the fruits of his labor simply because he is a Negro is one thing the south has never yet done, and never must do.
We realize how many doubts must have beset the labor leaders at Asheville. Their position is by no means as strong in the south as it is in some other sections, and the formal announcement that they accept the Negro laborer on the same basis as the white laborer must have appealed to some of them as stranger to them than almost in its cradle. Realizing their position we congratulate them the more heartily on the far-sightedness and the courage that enabled them to rise above prejudice and demagoguery to perform an act of righteousness and justice.

Mrs. Callahan's husband had been quite ill and the doctor had been trying to make her realize the gravity of the situation.
"Mrs. Callahan," said he, very seriously, "you must be at your husband's side constantly, as you will need to hand him something every little while."
Whereupon Mrs. Callahan waxed indignant, "Niver, doctor! Far be it from me to hit a man when he's down!" — Philadelphia Public Ledger.
