M. --General Board Will Not Interfere. The Committee of Management of the West 135th Street Branch Young Men's Christian Association for colored men has at last taken action in the matter at the conduct of its executive secretary, Thomas E. Taylor, as it affected his usefulness in connection with the Association work, and at a meeting held on Friday, February 18th, the Committee, by a vote of eight to seven, asked for the secretary's resignation, the same to take effect on May 1st. Should the secretary fail to hand in his resignation, the committee then will proceed to such positive and direct action as the circumstances warrant. SECOND CIRCULAR MEETING OF THE Oldest Individually Association Of Washington, D.C. Monday, March 7, 1881 DANCE AND MAKE MERRY MORE 9 P. M. TO 8 A. M. With Washington's Best Orchestra and Their Visitors. Brilliant Music by Thomas Smith Sublime CONVENTION BAND The meeting on Friday was called for the special purpose of considering the Taylor case, and of the full membership of eighteen, sixteen were present. Chairman E. P. Roberts presided at the meeting, and stated that the Committee was called to consider various newspaper reports which had been published concerning certain alleged actions of Executive Secretary Taylor which were intended to be inimical to his stamina as a "Y" secretary. Taylor Makes Stories. Taylor made a statement to the committee, it is reported, in which he requested that body to take official action against the newspapers which had published statements concerning him. The committee declined to take such action, declaring that it was not a matter which affected the committee officially, but rather that it was a personal matter concerning Taylor only. After the secretary's request had been turned down, a motion was made that his services as secretary be discontinued. In the discussion that followed it was emphasized that the truth or falsity of the published reports was not the controlling motive of the committee's action. Supporters of the motion argued that Taylor's usefulness as a "Y" secretary had been diminished and that because of the nature of the alleged actions with which he had been charged it was impossible for him to do effective work or to exert a wholesome influence over the membership of the organization. Another motion was offered to defer action until Mr. Taylor had been given an opportunity to take the necessary legal action to exonerate himself, but this was rejected because of the delay which it would entail. In this connection the executive secretary stated that he had already started action through the District Attorney's office against the newspapers which he held responsible for the disclosures concerning his alleged actions. Dyack Denies Interference Attention was called to previous consideration of certain phases of this matter and Mr. Taylor declared he thought the committee had supported him by its action at that time. He claimed a misunderstanding of what the committee had intended as a warning as to his course of conduct, this misapprehension leading him to believe that his actions were approved of by members of the committee who he named. He did not deny the truthfulness of any of the various matters published in a weekly journal in New York City, but pleaded that adverse action by the committee would serve to indicate to the public that he was guilty. Secretary Walter Dyack of the General Board, Y. M. C. A., made a statement to the committee in which he related the idea that the local board's decisions were subject to revision by the general board. He declared that the board of the 135th street Branch was supreme within its sphere and that its decisions were simply. O. K.'d by the general board when coming before that body. In the present case, the general board would unable act in case the local board was unable to handle the matter. Business generated in the 135th Street Branch was entirely in the hands if its local board, in the same manner as was the case with other local branches. KINDLE TO BE Y.M.C.A.

Rev, Richard M. Bolden and E. A. Johnson were the absent members. The meeting was held at the West 135th Street Branch building at 4 p. m. and it was 7:30 before the vote was taken. Dr. Kemmel Explains On Saturday evening last week The Acm office was called on the phone by Jonah Emantje, who declared that his vote against the motion was cast under a misunderstanding. He expressed himself as being entirely in favor of the action of the committee and asked that his position be made clear to the public. A discussion as to the precedence to be given certain pending motions resulted in his confusion as on the motion which was being voted on. With this change in the vote, and with Dr. Powell voting, the result would have been 10-6 against Mr. Taylor. Dr. Gragg to Speak for Bordentown. Trenton, N.

Drama League Dinner Causes Discussion of the Color Line Incident Serves to Bring Out Fact That Members of Theatrical World Regard Art as Being Above Racial Distinctions. The art knows no color line, and that artists are above the petty limitations and restrictions which would follow as a result of the action of color prejudice, has been clearly and unmistakably shown within the past ten days by developments following upon what was reported as the intended action of the Drama League of New York in the matter of its dinner in honor of the ten persons who have contributed most to the art of the theatre during the last year, and Charles Gilpin, the Negro actor who has made a distinguished success in the play, "The Emperor Jones," now enjoying a run at the Princess Theatre. The three thousand members of the Drama League were asked to vote for the ten persons to be chosen as guests at the dinner, and it was announced early last week that although Charles Gilpin had received votes sufficient to place him among the ten to be invited, the league board decided to eliminate him as a dinner guest and simply send him a nice letter assuring him of the high esteem in which he was held. In the course of ordinary everyday routine there came into the business office of Tir Ace a marriage nce for publication, and it appeared in the issue of February 12th, as follows: MARRIED: Mr. ORLANDO J. GREENE of Rushmore, and MARIE LAMBERT of W. Y. M. LAMBERT, both married in Thursday, 22. It was brought in by two ladies, supported to be the newly-made bride and a friend. On Tuesday morning, February 15th, the editorial office of Tir Ace received a long-distance telephone call from Rochester, purporting to come from one Orlando J. Greene, who declared himself to be the party referred to in the above marriage notice, but vehemently denied truth, the statement, that he had been party to the marriage ceremony, as set forth by the notice. He also disclaimed, at first, any knowledge of the lady, Mrs. Lambert, but finally said he did know her. Later in the day, about 1 p.m., the Western Union office called up Tir Ace and telephoned the text of the following message, later on sending to this office a typewritten copy of the same: Drama League Discussion of Incident Serves to Be Members of Theatrice as Being Above R The art knows no color line, and the restrictions which would follow as she has been clearly and unmistakably shown following upon what was reported League of New York in the matter of who have contributed most to the art of Charles Gilpin, the Negro actor who he play, "The Emperor Jones," now enjoy the ten persons to be chosen as guests at last week that although Charles Gilpin him among the ten to be invited, the best dinner guest and simply send him a nice in which he was held. This announcement aroused a storm on all sides. The metropolitan dailies carried the story as "first page news" and at the same time gave a strong editorial expression condemnatory of the proposed action. It was declared that color and race should not be considered in the context of so vital artistic expression and many of the declarations of the prospective guests declared that they would not contendance such action by attending the dinner.

Among those who declared most emphatically that they would decline invitations to the dinner if Gilpin was discriminated against were Mizry Garden, director of the Chicago Opera Company; Gida Varesi, Jacob Ben...

Several of those men and women signed and issued to the press the following statement: "The understigned men and women of the theatre, appointing creative and interpretive ability whatever it springs, feel it one duty to publicly express our indignation at the alleged discrimination by the K.

Y. World, Feb. 23) Charles Gilpin, the star of "The Emperor Jones," told a reporter for The World last night (Tuesday) that he had decided definitely to accept the invitation of the New York Drama League to he one of its ten honored guests at its annual banquet in the McAlpin Hotel, March 6, but only to the extent of "dropping in" on the affair and paying his respects. "So far as having dinner is concerned," he said, "that is out of the question. But if the other nine persons invited as honored guests indicate they would like to have me, I shall certainly attend long enough to show them my appreciation. As for the Drama League—well, I don't know its members very well, and I do not wish by any means to force an association. "I am going to attend the dinner given by the Civia Club, of course." Gilpin said he had written of Lena V. Wray, secretary of the Dancer Club, indicating that Of Roofenter, N.

In the meantime Mr. Greene had written a letter to follow-up his telegram, the letter reaching The Ack office on the morning of February 10th. This epistle was somewhat more emphatic than the telegram, reading as follows: "190 Peck St., Rochester, N. Y. "Feb. 14, 1921 "N. Y. Age Pub. Co. "I. Orlando J.

(Continued From First Page) Gabriel Ellia Blevens was born in Minneapolis, Ontario, Canada, thirty-five years old, her parents being Joseph and Mar- tial Blevens, respected and esteemed in our Canadian community. In early youth she married a man named Loubert, from whom she secured a di- dare, but who later died in Detroit, ac- cording to information received by the show. She is a dressmaker and, from her reports, is a steady worker, careful and economical in her manner of living lives at 66 West 183rd street, having a room there in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell, who speak in the highest terms of her. Has been a New York student for ten years. Orlando Jerome Greepe, twenty-nine years of age, was born in Rochester, N.Y., son of the late John Greene and his wife, Mrs. Bettie V. Greene. He is an auto mechanic an a widower, his first wife having died less than two years. He has two children, Billy, five years, who is in Rochester with his patTERN grandmother, and Constance years, reported to be in Cleveland, Ohio, and are cared for the friend and her dead mother. According to correspondence in possession of Tuz Anz, Orlando Greepe is without steady employment. These two—Mabel Lambert and Orlando Greene—met in Rochester, where Mrs. Lambert was visiting, and evidently she was strongly attracted toward the young widower. "That this was mutual is borne out by' the fact that on April 27th, 1920, Greene wrote her, saying, 'I am by your side. I witness that by your side and the priest was announcing the worlds that would make you mine. Truly, I believe ' love you and you love me and love is the biggest thing of all." Discussing Marriage The difference in their religion—be a Catholic and she a Protestant—brought up the question of her divorce and the death of her first husband. So in this same letter (April 27) he wrote, "About my church and your divorce, I am sorry to say that if I ever marry any one my priests will have to know the truth all the circumstances. I could not harry before anyone else and I would not to tell him anything but the truth. Write it in the Bible or Police or some acquaintance and get authoritative information of Lambert's whereabouts or death." Later, (May 5th) after upbraiding her for refusing to loan him a certain amount of money needed for the alleged acquiring of a garage, he wrote that "If we are unable to marry under my Church Law, and our love for each other warrants it, we could marry under the Civil-Law, that is, before a Justice off the Peace, or some one like that, so we would be married in the sight of the world, anyway. But that does not help me now." This last evidently referred to the money she had reused him. At any rate, she sent him $100 on May 7th by postoffice money order. Other sums sent during June and August augmented this sum to approximately $245. In the letter of May 5th Greene had written that he was not asking for a gift, but the loan "for a certain length of time of a certain amount of money. I stated that I'd pay you all of it soon and with interest at 6 per cent." On June 24th, after receiving an amount ($20), he wrote, "I thank you for the help and want again to assure you that I will do exactly as I said that I would do." A Visit to Rochester. Later on, because of real or fancied neglect, Mrs. Lambert decided to visit Rochester without giving her friend's advance notice. This she did, and, I appears that she discovered evidence that he had not kept faith with her. Also in a letter dated November 15th, 1920, he write asking her to send him $30 so he could come down to New York to see her, stating that "I want to see you in regard to our future and I think that what I have to say will interest you. I have changed my mind since you were here and I think we will be able to agree on some plans for the future that I have thought up. . . . I am serious now, I am not kidding you, but I cannot come if I cannot get "some more money." From information received he did not come. About the middle of January, 1921, following her trip to Rochester, Mrs. Lambere wrote a letter to Mr. Greene in which she used some plain language. This evidently got under his skin, for in a letter dated January 18th, 1921, he wrote "I was very glad to hear from you after your long silence: The words of your letter were quite as I expected, for no doubt I was due a bawling out and that is what I got." Continuing, after saving he was glad she had gotten it "out of your system," he wrote as follows: "It would be too long a story to write to try to explain in a letter the things that transpired last summer." THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1921 I did some wrong to you for which I am now and have been heartily sorry. Mabel, you made the broad statement that I tried to swindle you. I suppose that was because I was unwilling to start on a venture that I was sure would fall at that time. I did not want to marry you then, nor to start in business near nor in New York, nor to come there to live, for reasons that I tried to explain. I hadn't known you long enuf to marry you then, and you know it, and a. far as swindling you, I never entertained such a thought. If I am given the chance I shall gladly repay you all that I owe you. Proposing to Marry. Twice since I have been ready to come to you and marry you, if you still wished so, and do the right thing by you. This is the third time, now, and it is the last time that I am going to offer to do so, as I do believe that if you ever loved me you do now, and that now that I have decided that I want you more than any other girl I know of, it is the proper time to marry. I want you now more than I ever did and I want to marry you now if you still wish to give me a chance to do what you wanted to do some time ago. You were gone but not forgotten. I do not want to play the role of a beggar, but have no joll now, and one that I might well love you in N. Y. as Rochett and then save and start in business in the Spring. I am not making enuf at what I am doing now to save any to pay my fare and have any left when I get to N. Y. to his till I find a job. "But if you still love me and want to marry one that loves you and who is willing to give you all that you ever hoped for last summer, and more, too, I stand ready to do the right thing. Mabel, I am not the kind of a fellow that you tried to tell me I was in your letter and I ask you to give me a chance to prove it now. I could not then as I hadn't made up my mind as to what was best to do, but my intentions were not wrong toward you at any time and I hope that you will take this letter in the spirit that it is written and forgive me and make me happy for I cannot rest thinking that you have forsaken me for doing what I that was right at the time. So please think the matter over and call me up or write and tell me what to do. I shall have no peace till I hear from you. Promises to Be True "I promise that if you do as I want you to you shall never be sorry. I shall be true to you as I was to my first wife and do all that I can to make you happy. I am still of the opinion that I can depend on you and I know that I love you more than anyone else. Will you still refuse me happiness? Are you going to cut off your nose to spite your face? Please do not keep me waiting. Think of the possibilities of the future and let me hear from you. Please do not be mean now. Life is too short to quarrel and you should forgive if you care anything for me, and I certainly hope you do. Are my hopes in vain? Is your heart so hardened against me that you will not do as I hope you will do? Think, Mabel, and let me hear from you now." To this earnest and impassioned plea, Mrs. Lambert replied immediately, her letter reading as follows: New York, Jan. 19, 1921. "Dear Orlando: "I received your letter today, and as you were anxious to hear what I had to say, I thought I would write immediately. I think it is foolish for you and I to marry so soon, as you seem to be up against things, and I think we better take our time and think it over. In the first place, I will explain to you about myself. May be you have in mind that I have got some money. Orlando, when I met you I was just beginning to get on my feet. I had a cold for 3 years for that time, which I spent lots of money giving different doctors trying to get me. So I saved much. So when I met you I was just doing nicely, saving a little whenever I could, so I did not have much. So when I sought to help you I had given you the biggest share of my savings. I came to Rochester, and I saw you so you jaded aker both have buying or some time away and going out or going to work. I know my pay bill round next. I really have no agency now, so do not worry me, thinking I have a next egg. I believe I have not. Tried to Hold Him Back "I have only got what I work for. I have a nice comfortable room here. I have my health. I am working every day. I am trying my best, by the good mercies of God. If He will get me on my feet again. So you see how I am fixed. It will take some time. If you come to New York maybe I could help you a little, but not much. I do not know what I'd say about the marrying part, as I had changed my mind completely. The being true part does not worry me at all, because I would not walk a block to find out if you were true to me. You speak of going into business in the Spring. I do her see how you can do that, as it is so near Spring and today things are bad and over the next less you will have extra good luck. I do not see how you can make it, as I will not be able to help you. I do not care what happens, I am going to see my sister and her family this summer, if I do not have 5 cents left over after I pay my 'are. Nothing is going to keep me from it. "Well, Orlando, if you want to marry the way things are, all right, but I think you had better wait awhile, and think, as I am not particular about marrying any more." It will be seen from this letter that Mrs. Lambert made a strong effort to curb Orlando's belated impetuosity, but evidently to no avail, as the next documentary evidence is a telegram from Rochester, saying, "Will arrive Grand Central nine on A. M Tuesday. ORLANDO." This is followed by a marriage license, dated January 26, 1921, (registered No. 2916) by P. J. Scull, city clerk, City of New York, County of New York, authorizing the marriage of Orlando J. Greene and Mabel E. Lambert This is accompanied by a dispensation granted from the Chancery Office, 23 East 51st Street, New York, signed by "Joynnes J. Dunn, Cancellation," addressed to "Rev. Christopher J. Plunkett, C. S. S. 65, West 138th street, New York City (this is St. Marks Roman Catholic Church) or Priest on duty," removing the church's ban which would prevent the marriage because Mrs. Lambert was not a Catholic. The dispensation is dated January 27th, 1921. Went to the Priest With these documents in their possession, The Ack is informed that Greene took Mrs. Lambert to the priest, but after a talk with the churchman, Greene informed her that the church ceremony could not be performed until she had obtained documentary evidence of her first husband's death. But he also promised her that they would go back to the city hall and have a civil ceremony performed. This was scheduled for the next day, as it was too late then. And it is alleged that he argued to the effect that since they were the same as married he would go back to her home and be introduced as her husband, especially as he had no money with which to provide other quarters for himself, and this was done. Mrs. Mitchell accepted him in that guise and provided him with a latchkey, this being paid for, by the-way, by Mrs. Lambert, and he was given the freedom of the house. With one excuse or another, however, Greene did not take Mrs. Lambert to the city clerk's office the next day. Then, late in the evening there came a telegram from Rochester where she had Greene, his father, was dying, and urging his immediate return. Mrs. Lambert at work, was called on the phone and told of this development. She provided the funds and Greene left next morning for Rochester, promising to return as soon as possible. Letters to "Mrs. Greene." On January 31st he wrote a letter addressing it to "MRS. ORLANDO J. GREENE, "66 WEST 128TH STREET, "NEW YORK CITY," in which he wrote that he had just returned from the funeral. After telling of the death and funeral services, he wrote as follows: "I guess I shall be ready to come back as soon as I get my laundry. I'll have to wait till that comes and then as soon as the money is available I shall return. When you send the money I'd like to have enuf to pay a bill of $300 as I was forced to borrow that much to pay for some things that I had to have for Billy and I for the funeral." The next letter, dated February 4th, but postmarked February 3rd, said he was expecting a letter and his laundry, "as I am wearing my brother's things now." He says he is writing from the lawyer's office and that from the looks of things he would have to stay until the next week, "till we can get the estate administration business settled or started, anyway, or else make another trip Here to attend court. I do not think we can afford the expense of another trip, do you? You see, father had money in two banks and property in Washington, D. C., Warrenton, Va., and our house and lot here. According to law, as there is no will, mother gets one-third and us children the balance, but all that has to go through the red tape of court, and I have to be present before it can go on. So I that since money is so scarce that I had better stay awake and then I can get the thing over quicker and save these examples of another trip, unless you think different Wanted His Laundry. "Anyway, I hope the laundry is home when I get there. Take care of my other things and I think you better put a stamp on that license and return it with a note explaining that because of a death in the family that it was not used. The other dispensation you may keep and we will return that when you get back which I hope will be soon, as I am tired of this town now." This letter, as were all the subsequent letters, was addressed to "Mrs. Mabel Green." In the meantime, not only had the $3 asked for been sent, but money for railroad fare, to the amount of $18 also. So, on Feb 7, Orlando wrote again—I know that you expected a letter, . . . but if you could have been near me, on Sunday when I was all dirty and no laundry and angry—well, I wish you were here so I could have shaken you. . . You know I was dirty when I left and how could you expect me to have anything to wear if you kept the laundry in New York. Well, I got the money O. K. but I was so mad about that laundry that I could not write. And now today I have the laundry and I thank you for both. You will not need to send me any more money for my fare but I hope that when that other bundle is done that you send that too to me as you see I have not much to wear, and I do not think I'll be back for about three weeks from now, or until the administration proceedings are over with as far as I am concerned. I am here to help settle this estate and see that my interests are protected, as it appears that all are interested soley in their own welfare, and as long as they are to distrust of one another, it behooves me to be on the lookout for G. J. G. . . When you send the rest of that laundry I hope you will send those socks and other things. . . as I have only what I took with me and I do not think I took them all. Did you send that license back to the city hall? You know that was to be returned by the 10th. Spending His Last Dime "I have purchased my ticket so I'd have the money when the time came and I had it stamped so it is good for 30 days. I am spending part of my last dime to mail this and I guess I'll have to borrow some and then go out and try to find some kind of a job to keep me in spending money till I return, but I do not know when I'll get it or where to look for it as things are tight as 99 is to 100, here. After, buying my ticket I had less than two dollars left. So I have made $300 last me, or rather $500, ever since coming home, and I hate to borrow from anyone here. Before I left here a man gave me a bad check for $150 and now the bank will put me to some amount he perhaps in jail until it is repaid there and I will be unable to locate the man a Mr. Boyce that gave the check to me. Seems if trouble comes in a hunch. Well, some day well all be under six foot and our trouble will be over." The last letter written by Mr. Greene prior to the publishing of the "Married" notice in The Acr was dated February 11. In this letter he again defends his return to New York, saying, "I will be unable to stay here to the finish but I will stay till all that I must see to is finished, because the estate will not be settled for 18 mos. and I know I will not stay here that long. We had a fuss yesterday and my stay has been all but one of bliss. Never again for longer than a day or so.

NEGRO LITERATURE IN NEGRO SCHOOLS Leading educators of both south are interested in the strengthening racial integrity Turns Guns on The Age. Then it appears that Thr. Acr, with the "Married" notice, reached Rochester and Mr. Greene turned his money-getting guns upon this journal. Under the circumstances, Thr. Acr is contenting itself with the above epistolatory account of the matter. It might be stated, however, that investigation of the matter develops, that the publication of the notice was caused by the zeal of friends of Mrs. Lambert who were sincerely of the opinion that the actual marriage ceremony had been performed, and who took that step as a precautionary measure in protection of her interests as the supposed "Mrs. Orlanda J. Green." This supposition was naturally strenched when Mr. Greene, after spending several days in the Mitchell home as Mrs. Lambert's husband, wrote from Rochester and addressed his letters to "Mrs. Orlando J. Greene" and "Mrs. Mabel Greene." The aftermath of the above story is partly contained in the following letter which was addressed to "Miss Mabel Lambert," and mailed at the East Ave. Sta., Rochester, N. Y., on Feb. 16th at 1 p. m. The letter reads: "Rochester, New York Feb. 15, 1921. "My Dear Mabel: "Please turn over all my things to Mr. E... h when he calls for same as I find that I will be unable to return to New York for a couple of months.

"I am at a loss to understand what motive anyone would have for the insertion of much a false statement in the newspaper and thereby lay themselves liable to both civil and criminal action in court. There is a heavy penalty provided by the law of this state for such cases, and the person publishing the news is equally guilty with the one causing its publication. "I am quite sorry that such a thing has taken place as it makes it very bad for both of us and if some one that it a joke, I think it was a very serious one. "Please have all the things ready for Mr. F.... when he calls I am sorry that I shall not be able to call for them myself at this time.

E. Sho OR NEW HOM ENT JAS. E. Shepard, Durham, EW HOME E. Shepard, Durham, N. C. President Jas. E. Shepard, Durham, N. C. Oyster Bay Club Sample. Oyster Bay, N. Y. — The late which the member of the Young Social Club gave Monday night at the new home, proved to be a grand success in every particular, over eight members, being enrolled. Too praise cannot be given to the committee of arrangements for the manner which every detail was carried out this function. At 10:15 the guests ushered into the room which was being remotely decorated, and a brilliant shiny and delicate strain of music the gay hammers found their seats. President with pennning, contenence and affability bade all welcome. Rev. A. H. Pursell was present and offered the invocation he also spoke interestingly of the war and achievement of the Men's Club which elected rounds of applause. The Young Men's Club was organized about six months ago in the A. M. Zion Church, but did not make much progress until James Lee became president. Mr. Lee has succeeded in getting many influential white men interested in the club, who have contorted barge sums of money to make it a success. Mr. Lee is very popular with both white and colored people, and is the right man in the right place as president of the club. The club room is equipped with pool table, a gymnasium, barber shop and other plasures which the young men enjoy. Besides acting as a social uplift the club room keeps the young men off the streets. Home Economics, Agricultural Industries THE CRITICS ANSWERED. "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the republic have entitled to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands."—(Senator Harding at Marion, Ohio, July 22.) This utterance by the President-elect should be sufficient answer to those carping critics of the press who are included in question the disposition of the coming Administration to give a square deal in the political recognition of all elements of American citizenship. MORAL STANDADS UPHELD. The action of the committee of management of the 135th street Branch of the Y. M. C. A., in calling for the separation of the executive secretary from the organization, is to be commended as an upholding of the moral standard that should prevail in the conduct of this institution. The vote by which this action was sustained was eight to seven, but as great an issue as that of the electoral commission prevailed by a similar vote. The thanks of the community are due those members of the board who insisted upon this action to preserve the morale of the organization and to insist that the standard of morality should not be lowered for personal or business reasons. It shows that there is a sentiment that an institution conducted for the benefit of the youth of the race should be kept entirely free from the suspicion of wrong doing on the part of its promoters and workers. With the removal of this cause of reflection upon the work of the institution and the solution of the ugly situation that has existed, by the separation which is to take effect May 1, we look for a restoration of public confidence in the work and a renewal of its influence for usefulness. While we would have liked to see the vote on this question unanimous, the result arrived at is none the less a decisive victory for those who fought for the preservation of the higher standard of morality. WHAT CHARACTER MEANS. There exists a certain tendency of modern times to exalt the temporary attainment of transient success, regardless of the means by which it has been retained and despite the fact that it is not built on lasting foundations. Coupled with this tendency among the shortsighted and unthinking is the disposition to slight the importance of developing character as an asset. According to the superficial reasoning of this class, character has no place in business, but efficiency in securing results, even burdening on sharp practice, is the modern way of doing things. Let us consider if this is wholly true. According to the dictionary, character is the equivalent for moral quality, or the principles and motives that control the life and conduct of an individual. Character also indicates the estimate, individual or general, put upon a person for thing; in another sense it is reputation. Now, in the eyes of the men who control the business world, the credit given for wholesale houses and manufacturers, the insurance men and the bankers, the men who furnish the ratings for the commercial agencies, character is almost as great a factor as capital. In fact, some credit men reward it as of greater importance. The quantity of goods a man entering business can secure upon credit is largely determined by his character. If he wants insurance upon his stock or a man from his bank, the same element of character enters into the consideration of the risk. If he is desirous of lending to his responsibilities by becoming a director in a banking enterprise, the character must pass the scrutiny of the banking department. If he is appointed to a position of trust and responsibility, where a fidelity bond is required, the surety corporation will surely investigate his character. Character is an essential factor required for any kind of legitimate business, where the elements of credit and faith are brought into play and they are few businesses in which they can be dispensed with. In the professions, such as law, medicine etc., the institution of good moral character is indispensable to practice. Who else should be discouraged by the moral and ethical criticism from the philosophy of the crowd and the confidence operator. It should act as a signal of warning against placing trust or confidence in the detractors of character. The kind of character that counts cannot be developed by playing poker, patronizing bootleggers or running after strange women. Let us have the right kind of character. MANKILLERS AND KU BLUX. In his charge to the grand jury of Anderson County, South Carolina, Judge Sense was reported as making this startling statement: "It is an appalling fact that 365 men must bite the dust before the guns of murderers in South Carolina every year. Some of you jurors, or you petit jurors, or even I, may be among the 365 for this year." The Spartanburg Journal printed this indictment of the gunmen of South Carolina in its editorial columns under the caption, "Good for Judge Seate." It was characterized as well said and the Journal wished it could be said by every judge in the state and by every preacher and teacher in South Carolina, until the better public sentiment of the State can be organized for the enforcement of the law. That this revolt against the forces of violence, which as the Journal says, threaten the overthrow of all government in South Carolina, is genuine is supported by this concrete application of the judges pronouncement. The Journal continued; There is one danger that threatens the peace and good order of society in this State, and that is the organization of what is called the ku Klux Klan. If the Court please, we with Judge Stare would instruct the Grand Jurv of Anderson County to make difficult inquiry into this matter and make presentment of the facts touching the purposes of this secret Order, and peting such investigation and presentment, that an injunction lay against any organization of such a society in Anderson County, and if within his jurisdiction, in any of the countries in the State. That is the sort of test to be applied to this judicial denunciation of lawlessness and the response that it has awakened in the sentiment of the community. There are growing sign, of a disposition among the best thinking whites of the South to discountenance the revival of the Ku Klux Klan with its record of midnight: devilry. Many of the daily papers express disapproval of its methods and frown upon any extension of its activities. But it needs more pronounced opposition than this to relieve Southern communities from moral and legal responsibility for its existence. The Governor of North Carolina pointed out one way when he refused to authorize its extension to his state. The Spartanburg editor has pointed out another in his petition to the court. If the executive and judicial authorities would combine their efforts, this band of thugs and gunmen would soon be placed under the ban of the law, instead of being able to boast that they are above the law. WHITEWASHING THE MARINES After the failure of the naval court of inquiry to go fully into the conduct of the United States Marines in Haiti, nothing more was to be expected than a general whitewashing of the charges brought against them. Rear Admiral Knapp added to the coat of whitewash according to the New York World, by the conclusion in his report that the United States, having "put its hand to the plow" in Haiti "cannot leave it in the furrow." The World a tried to do a little whitening on its own account by saying So far as the navy is concerned, the Knaps report is final. It should be conclusive also for the country. Nobody clamors for the immediate evacuation of Haytji by the only power that can stand in the way of anarchy, except those who figure to profit by anarchy. It is unfortunate that the Tribune and Senator Harding hastily accepted as campaign material the worst charges against the marines, without waiting for the abundant proof available. The罪是 no political attack on the war. The final vindication of an American agency which is enforcing peace and supervising the beginnings if civilization in constant danger and hardship, should put at end to an unceasing campaign of detraction against men wearing the clean uniform of the Nation. Unfortunately for the World's effort to clean the uniform of the marigos in Haiti, members of the same branch of the service in Nicaragua were acquiring fresh stains in the same old way. A press dispatch recently described how some thirty marines in uniform invaded a newspaper office and destroyed the type forms and other property because they resented the publication of some article concerning them. How representative Haitians regarded the results of the naval court of inquiry was shown by their comments in Turt Ace of last week. The proceedings were stigmatized as "a humbug" and "a joke." The statement made by Gen. Barnett, the former head of the Marine Court, that there had been indiscriminate killing in Haiti, was pronounced correct. Whitewash cannot hide the stains of blond. The truth of the crages cannot be evaded through a failure to hear the witnesses. We learn from the Lagos Werely Record that His Royal Highness, the Alake of Abokuta, a native ruler on the West Coast of Africa, gave a dinner to welcome Bishop Howells and his wife after their return from England.

The sensation of the theatrical season is the report that the Drama League decided that it would not invite Charles Gilpin, the colored star of "The Emperor Jones" playing at the Princess Theatre, to its annual dinner. The Drama League is an organization which has for its purpose the fostering of what is best in the theatre. Each year it passes on the various productions and issues a "white list" of plays considered worth while. Also each year it gives a dinner in honor of the ten persons selected by vote of the membership as the most distinguished contributors to dramatic art in the preceding year. As the balloting proceeded this year it was found that Gilpin, the colored actor who played the part of "Custis" in Drinkwater's great play, "Abraham Lincoln," and who created the stellar character in "The Emperor Jones", which is regarded by most critics as the most noteworthy play of the season, was likely to rank third or fourth on the list. This threw some of the members of the Drama League into consternation. They thought not only of what a terrible precedent it would be in this great democracy to give a Negro such rank, but also of what a blow it would be to "Anglo-Saxon supremacy" to have him sit beside his fellow artists at the dinner to be given at the Hotel McAlpin. Certain members of the League got busy immediately to head off this double catastrophe. Their first hope was that the management of the Hotel McAlpin would refuse to allow a Negro at its tables. But when approached the management declared that it had no objections. They then decided to write Mr. Gilpin a "real nice" letter telling him what a fine artist they considered him to be, while, at the same time, neglecting to send him an invitation to the dinner. But this clever little plan did not work. The whole matter got out. The incident was carried with headlines on the front pages of the New York newspapers, and the reaction has been as great as Mr. Gilpin and his friends could wish for. Prominent actors and artists at once voiced their protests, and declared that they would not attend the dinner if Mr. Gilpin was not invited. Mary Garden in protesting said, "I would be willing to sit with Gilpin. I would like to know who in New York would not sit with him?" Gilda Varesi telegraphed the Drama League, "If you will invite Gilpin I'll be proud to sit next to him. God forbid that artists should do the American stage such a wrong as has been imputed to you with respect to Gilpin." Several of the New York newspapers have carried editorials on the incident. The "Tribune" closed its editorial by remarking that the only thing left for the Drama League to do to redeem itself was to give the dinner in honor of Gilpin. As unfortunate as is this whole incident, it nevertheless reveals some encouraging signs. In the first place, the race has produced a great actor. In the second place, this actor has, in spite of the obstacles and handicaps of prejudice, gained the recognition of the critics, his fellow artists, the press and the public in this great city. In the third place, the narrow, snobbish attitude of certain members of the Drama League has met with overwhelming rebuke. We may well stop and ask if all of this could have been possible a generation ago. The race might have produced the great actor a generation ago—in fact, it did produce him more than a generation ago, in Ira Aldridge—but such an actor could not have gained recognition in the United States, and much less could he have had administered in his behalf the rebuke which has been administered to the Drama League in the Gilpin incident. The most gratifying phase of this affair is the dignified and sensible position which Mr. Gilpin himself has maintained through it all. Many men under the circumstances would have made some fatally foolish remark. When the storm broke Mr. Gilpin kept silent. When at last he was prompted to say something, he gave out a statement in which he took very high ground. He said that he was honestly striving to present his art rather than himself to the public. Regarding the embarrassing position in which he had been placed, Mr. Gilpin referred only briefly. He said: "Against those who do not care to sit in the same dining room with me I have no complaint. This only will I say: Thus far in the world's history no race or profession has ever been given relative rank permanently and none has ever been permanently prevented from winning equality of rating for itself. "Real people everywhere, without regard to color or estate, realize that 'Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part; there all the honor lies.'" There are those who will not agree entirely with Mr. Gilpin's comment on history, but essentially he is correct. It never has been and never will be possible to keep down worth and merit permanently. There will, of course, be many who will feel that the Drama League was within its rights in declining to invite a colored actor to its dinner; that the dinner is wholly a social affair. But the Drama League was not within its rights in taking such a stand, and its dinner is not entirely a social affair. This dinner is supposed to be given in honor of the ten persons considered the most distinguished contributors to dramatic art during the preceding year. Since that is so, the matter of mere race has no place. If the Drama League wants to draw any such lines, it should cut out the consideration of art, and invite its guests accordingly as they may be congenial to its members. Since the above was written it has been announced that the Drama League has named Mr. Gilpin among the ten most distinguished contributors to dramatic art last year and that an invitation will be sent to him: The ten named are as follows: Dudley Digges, selected for his acting in "Heartbreak House"; Gilda Varesi, for her acting in "Enter Madame"; David Belasco, for putting on "Deburau"; Eugene O'Keill, as author of "The Emperor Jones"; Ben-Ami, for his acting in "Samson and Delilah"; Charles Gilpin, for his acting in "The Emperor Jones"; Lionel Atwill, for his acting in "Deburau"; Lee Simonson, as scenic artist in staging "Heartbreak House"; Margaret Severn, for her use of masks in dances in "The Greenwich Village Follies"; Fred Stone, as foremost comic artist. Mr. Gilpin has not yet said whether he will accept or not. But there is every reason to think he will act with as much judgment now as he has heretofore. SECRETARY OF STATE HUGHES cultic to see how anyone will be able to selection of Mr. Hughes for Secretary orely fills the requirements for this most im- se who may be opposed to him, agree the al- ability, high character, and a forward- cians who have had any contact with Mr. usness. He is a man who does not allow shake or change a course of action which is contrary to Sectarian pledging Socialist principles. It is difficult to see how anyone will be able to criticise Mr. Harding's selection of Mr. Hughes for Secretary of State. Mr. Hughes entirely fills the requirements for this most important office. All, even those who may be opposed to him, agree that he is a man of exceptional ability, high character, and a forward-looking man. All the politicians who have had any contact with Mr. Hughes know of his fearlessness. He is a man who does not allow political expediency to shake or change a course of action which he believes to be right. His actions in defining public socialist positions who were Colored people of the United States have special reasons to be satisfied with Mr. Hughes's appointment. Colored citizens of New York remember the sentiments he expressed in the speech which he made at Carnegie Hall a couple of years ago. Those of the country at large are, or at least ought to be, familiar with the position taken by Mr. Hughes on questions relating to the race while he was a member of the United States Supreme Court.

With the arrival of this miss Congress, colored people of the interest in the Haitian question, to see that Congress and the Ame to undo what has been done in H There is now a decided movement on foot to defeat the restoration of Haitian independence. For some weeks there has been waged a campaign of defamation of Haitian civilization. Stories are being carried in the magazine sections of Sunday newspapers depicting weird scenes of cannibalistic orgies in Haiti. There was one carried in Hearat's "Sunday American" this week which was illustrated by a large photograph. This writer is absolutely certain that the photograph was not taken in Haiti at all. Also the Navy Department is putting out direct propaganda for the retention of American rule in Haiti. Perhaps not the least important motive is the fact that Haiti provides a splendid winter resort for naval and marine officers. Now comes Admiral Knapp who goes to the Bible for his text and declares that the United States having "put its hand to the plow" in Haiti cannot now turn back through the withdrawal of the American forces there. The admiral goes on to declare that the agitation against the American Occupation is inspired merely by a "small group of Haitians who represent less than five per cent. of the population." He says further that Haiti is not and never has been a republic—that the so-called republic of Haiti has been a tyrannical oligarchy in which those in power fatten upon the mass of the population." These declarations by the admiral have a familiar sound to the colored people in the United States. When he says that ninety-five per cent. of the Haitian people are contented under the American Occupation and that the trouble is made only by a five per cent of agitators it is the same sort of statement that we get so often from "our friends" in the South. Southern editors write in all seriousness that the great mass of the colored people in the South are happy and contented with Jim Crow cars, inferior schools, disfranchisement, denial of justice in the courts and lynching and that all the trouble is caused by a few Negro agitators. It is the same old story over again of the oppressor declaring how happy the oppressed are under oppression. Perhaps neither Admiral Knapp nor Southern editors have any more sense than to believe statements of this kind which they make, but that adds nothing to the truth or weight of the statements. When Admiral Knapp says that in Haiti there is a small oligarchy of those in power who fatten upon the vast mass of the population, he is nearer to the truth. His error, however, is in believing that it is true only about Haiti. The same statement could be applied to England, to France, to Italy, to Japan and to these blessed United States. Ever since the writer returned from Haiti last Spring, he has been in constant communication with a large, number of prominent Haitian citizens, and all the while he has been impressing upon them that Haiti itself must now take a step in the matter of regaining its independence. He has advised them to send a mission to the United States which could go to Washington and place their cause before Congress and the incoming administration. Overcoming many difficulties, a group of the leading citizens of Port-au-Prince organized L'Union Patriotique and sent a mission to the United States. The mission is headed by M. Paulens Sannon, formerly Haitian minister at Washington and Secretary of Foreign Affairs for the Haitian Government. It was M. Sannon who, as Secretary of State for Haiti, refused to sign the treaty under which the American Occupation is now working. With the arrival of this mission and the assembling of the new Congress, colored people of the United States should take renewed interest in the Haitian question. They should do all in their power to see that Congress and the American Government take some action to undo what has been done in Haiti. ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY WORK. A few weeks ago we had occasion to emphasize the variety of worthy causes that appeal for support to the generous instincts of the community. At that we inadvertently omitted several which are doing essential welfare work in various lines. Among these organizations whose specific work appeals to the general public are the Boys Welfare Club, the Katy Ferguson and Sojourner Truth Houses, the Hope Day Nursery, the White Rose Home, the Working Girls Home, and the CircleStar Negro Relief. Then we have the general work along industrial and racial lines conducted under the auspices of the Urban League and the Advancement Association. In addition to the movements referred to above, we learn that drive has been planned for the raising of one hundred thousand dollars to establish a home for girls of tender years, whose parents are obliged to go out to work and leave them at home without care or guardianship. The good purpose that such an institution would serve in safe keeping these unprotected little ones and caring for their needs is unquestioned. In view however, of the many existing causes calling for needed support, the question arises, wouldn't it be better policy to concentrate forces and put the present institutions on a solid basis before beginning any new work. If there was a community chest established for the support of welfare work, these various objects, all worthy of support, could be developed in common. Let our welfare workers and the community at large consider the idea of establishing a community chest for the support of these essential institutions. STOCK-SELLING PROPOSITIONS. In a discussion of the uses of corporations, which appeared in A previous issue of The Ace, attention was directed principally to those organisations which are formed for legitimate business purposes. While some of these may fail to earn the dividends expected, the money received from the stockholders is, as a rule, devoted to the promotion of the industry or enterprise specified. There is another species of corporation, however, which is formed and operated primarily as the sole or equivalent stock. This proposition has not given the depth of its real significance as the movement on foot to defeat the restorers. For some weeks there has been a revolution of Haitian civilization. Stories are the sections of Sunday newspapers of realistic orgies in Haiti. There was one American" this week which was illuminated. This writer is absolutely certain that in Haiti at all, it is putting out direct propaganda to men in Haiti. Perhaps not the least in Haiti provides a splendid winter reprisal. Top who goes to the Bible for his text is States having "put its hand to the back through the withdrawal of the admiral goes on to declare that the Occupation is inspired merely by represent less than five per cent, or rather that Haiti is not and never has called republic of Haiti has been those in power fatten upon the mass of admiral have a familiar sound to the states. When he says that ninety-five are contented under the American rule is made only by a five per cent of statement that we get so often from southern editors write in all seriousness clored people in the South are happy cars, inferior schools, disfranchise courts and lynching and that all the two agitators. It is the same old story declaring how happy the oppressed are. Knapp nor Southern editors have any comments of this kind which they make both or weight of the statements. Is that in Haiti there is a small oil fatten upon the vast mass of the truth. His error, however, is in best Haiti. The same statement could once, to Italy, to Japan and to these formed from Haiti last Spring, he has with a large number of prominent he has been impressing upon them a step in the matter of regaining raised them to send a mission to the Washington and place their cause under administration.

Sometimes enough machinery will be purchased and installed to impress the intending investor with the good faith of the enterprise, but it is merely that he may be trimmed the more readily and to the last dollar. The money paid for stock in enterprises of this character is a dead loss to the investor, who has been swindled by the specious proposition of the promoters. In one way or another the funds realized from such sales are speedily diverted to the pockets of the promoters under the guise of salaries and expenses and commissions. If a pretense of carrying out the purposes of the corporation is carefully maintained these confidence operators may keep themselves on the safe side of the law and get away with their booty, without fear of punishment. In buying stock in a new corporation, no matter how promising the prospectus, it is well to look into the nature of the enterprise and the character of the promoters. Unless both will bear the closest inspection, the investor will be taking a gamble with the odds against him. Beware of the worthless stock selling proposition and investigate the men behind the game. In a recent address at Pettitufgh, Miss Hallie Q. Brown laid special emphasis on the life of Sojourner Truth who she said was deserving of as much credit for woman suffrage as Susan B. Anthony. The remarkable career of Sojourner Truth was illustrated by her work as army nurse, orator and agger for freeedom. The late Alfred T. White of Brooklyn from the beginning was one of the warm friends of Tuskegee Institute and its founder. As commissioner of public works for the old city of Brooklyn, Mr. White inspired the respect and esteem of all who came in contact with him.

Gleona Collins Lacy sang recently in several cities in the South, and of her appearance at Tuskegee Institute the following account was written by F. H. Gow for the Tuskegee Student: CLEOTA J. COLLINS IN RECITAL The audience which assembled in the Institute Chapel will long remember the splendid recital of song given by the well-known artiste, Cleota J: Collins. Attractively robed in an old rose velvet evening gown fetchingly draped, possessed of a charming stage bearing, she at the very beginning went right to the hearts of her auditors; she was withal so free from affectation and superficial "extras" as to be altogether winsome. The recital was to all music lovers, a most satisfying reminder that fine singing still exists. In a well-balanced program the artiste found admirable opportunity for revealing to no uncertain degree a voice beautiful in its rounded smoothness, warmth of color, with strength of quality throughout its range. "One Year Ago," written especially for this singer, was conveyed in an untroubled legato that fairly held the listeners spell-bound, quite characteristic of Cleota J. Collins' delightful interpretation; in Burleigh's "Grey Wolf," there was a meaningful, well-considered phrasing and individualism which not only reflected deeper understanding of the composer's theme, but certainly added to the laurels of Madam Collins. Massenet's aria from "Herodiade" disclosed a command of vocal technique and wealth of artistic temperament that swept the audience into loud and prolonged applause, in response to which she sang with marked soulfulness that beautiful Indian lullaby. "By the Waters, of Minnetonka." Her first appearance at Tuskegee has resulted in nothing of a triumph and upon all who heard her she left a most favorable impression. Miss Alice C. Simmons, Director of Instrumental Music, was the accompanist for the evening; while the Institute Orchestra under the directorship of Captain Frank L. Drye, contributed no small part to the concert; especially appreciated was their playing of the Intermezzo from Mascagni's "Cavalieria Rusticana." I have no personal knowledge of the work of W. Henry Hackney of Chicago, tenor, but a correspondent, Mr. L. J. Collins, sending from Galveston, Texas, an account of a recent recital in that city by Mr. Hackney, writes the following information, which is given space in this column because of its nature. It is written that: "Mr. Hackney was the first Negro in the Northwest to promote a series of concerts of Negro composers. R. Nathaniel Dett, composer, Miss Helen Hagan, pianiste, and many other of our artists got their first publicity from the big dailies of the Northwest by appearing in Mr. Hackney's programs. The three songs by Mrs. Holt, musical critique for the Defender, got their first appearance on his program, the tenor rendering the songs himself with the composer at the piano. One thing can be said about Mr. Hackney, he knows how to mix his program and present his songs in such a way that all present will like the program." Accompanying the above statement there came the following "write-up" of Mr. Hackney's recital in Galveston; with a request that I "give it a hearing." It reads as follows: W. HENRY HACKNEY, PREMIER TENOR, SCORES BIG HIT On Friday evening, February 11, the elite of Galveston saw one of the largest gatherings in years to hear a single artist. The occasion was the first appearance of W. Henry Hackney, the Chicago tenor. Long before the appointed time for the tenor to appear, the main floor of Avenue L. Baptist Church was nearly filled. The tenor was ably assisted by a quartet from the Quartet Society of Galveston, and Mrs. Edna S. Jones, reader. Mr. Hackney came to Galveston well recommended and those who came out expecting to hear something unusually good were not disappointed. The tenor has made a study of Southern audiences, an example many of the artists coming from more advanced musical sections of the country would do well to follow. His songs, included selections from Burleigh, R. Schumann, Pucini and S. Coleridge-Taylor, "Rudolph's Song," from the opera "La Boheme," was rendered in Italian with telling effect. Also, "Onaway, Awake, Beloved." "Quite a few of our white friends were out and made requests which were grained. There is no question as to Mr. Hackney being one of America's great tenors, regardless of color. His eight years of study with three of America's biggest teachers of vocal culture has brought him to the point where he is able to sing with great beauty of tone and with a marked degree of authority. He was forced to add five encores and repeat Cook's "Negro Sermon" (meaning "Exhortation," evidently) at the end of the program. Mrs. Irma Jones-Tressille gave expert assistance at the piano. Under auspices of Club No. 2, Mrs. Maggie Minor, president of Mr. Olivet Baptist Church, the Rev. W. P. Hasey, pastor, West 33rd street, a song recital was given at that church on Thursday evening. February 17th, by Mrs. Emma Delyon-Leonard, soprano, assisted by E. H. Margeston, piano, and Hall Johnson, violin, with E. L. Dyer as accompanist. Mrs. Delyon-Leonard sang four numbers, the first a group of art song, including "Love came in at the door" (Wistrop), "The bird of love divine" (Wood), and "Birthday song" (Hall Johnson). The Magic Flute aria (Mozart) was her second number, the third being the fairy queen song, "I am Titania" from "Mignon" (Thomas). Her final number was a group of Chadwick's songs, "He loves me" "Thou art so like a flower," and "Before the dawn," the last with violin obbligator played by Mr. Johnson. Mr. Margeston played "Autumn" (Chaminade) and the prelude in C sharp minor (Rachmaninoff). Mr. Johnson's violin numbers were "Marcia" (Roff), "Spanish Dance" (Rehfield) and the Finale from Concerto in D minor (Vicentemps). In The Realm of Music By Lucien H. White esterners Make Poor Showing On First New York Appearance last week I said that New Yorker would have hearing "two singers from the Pacific Coast" in Annie B. Range, soprano, and Elvy Lively, tenor, W. Calif., when they appeared in recital at St. Church, West 137th street, on Monday evening. My definite statement as to these "singers" was received from sources which I considered information led me to believe that I was perfor-acterizing them as "singers." that this column contains a definite statement un- direct personally acquired facts. If the name were used in this connection, however, it would be for my accepting the information at its face accordingly. But the fact remains that I was excuse to be offered for my informant is that his good judgment.

Dr. Mason spoke in part as follows: "Dr. Price was one of the most remarkable personalities, of the nineteenth century. Within a decade he arose from comparative obscurity and stamped his impress on two continents. Like a meteor, he flashed upon us and then disappeared below the horizon, but, as the eternal stars, he still shines.

We handed the College to him on paper, he returned it to us after 12 years with starely fulllings, fertile fields, varden laws, and representing $100,000. "During this period his unusual devotion to duty, exceptional intellectual oratorical power commanded wide-spread attention of his amateur leap beyond the boundaries of the church, and the greatest educational, convictions were swaived and delighted with the rising race champion." Prof. Price was distinctively the orator of the Negro race. He always faced his audience with tranquil mien and beaming aspect. He spoke, as I in the measured cadence of a slivery voice recited, "What is it that did it?" You ask me how he did it? I tell me how Mozart, wrought, or Raphael succeeded. The secret of the rose's sweetness, the bird's cestacy, the sunset's glory—that is the secret of genius and of eloquence.

With all the vigor of glorious manhood Price three times himself into the conflict with the Negro. The political condition required re-emphasizing our citizenship of a new point of view. For this special task Dr. Price was especially qualified. A genuine type of a Negro, trained in one of the foremost educational institutions of the land, president of a great empire in the South, he was fully prepared to speak wisely and authoritatively. "He believed generally that what was good for the white man was good for the Negro as an American citizen. If there was law enough in this country to protect the white man in the exercise of his rights there was also law enough to protect black man in the exercise of his rights. He did not legislate for the Negro. He believed in the enforcement of the laws as they exist upon the statute law." 'Other Numbers on Program.

Moton returned Thursday from St. Augustine to interview with President-elect Harding on inter-racial matters. While in St. Augustine he addressed a representative colored audience at the First Baptist conference of which Key, J. H. Moore is pastor. On the return trip, a group of Jacksonville friends, headed by G. H Powell, prevailed upon Dr. Motton to address a large meeting in interest of a community Service at the Staten High School. In his Jacksonville address, Dr. Motton said "There was a time—a very long time when white and colored people in the South talked about each other. We heard what the white people said about us because it got into the newspapers but what we said about themselves heard what we said about us. South small groups of white and colored people are sitting down together and talking frantically to each other about their problems. In this way white people are getting a broader and more intimate knowledge of our handicaps and difficulties. These interracial groups slowly but surely leavening the lump of justice and human brotherhood. They may be a better way to solve this problem than through cooperation and understanding, but I do not know of it." Dr. Motion was accompanied by Warren Logan, treasurer, and Mhon L.

AND PARTNERS ACCOUNTED TEL. 218-818-8188 THE STAGE AND ATHLETICS Drama League Dinner Causes Discussion of the Color Line (Continued From First Page) reason than that he is a colored man, has been eliminated as one of the guests at the Drama League dinner ten actors and actresses of distinction on March 10, and this in spite of the fact that Mr. Gilpin's work in "The Emperor Jones" has won him a place in the Drama League ballet to establish the year's ten biggest contributors to dramatic art. "Confirmation or denial of this act of prejudice has been refused by the responsible officers of the Drama League. In the circumstances, respecting as we do the masterful ability of Mr. Gilpin, we wish to announce our decision to stage away from the Drama League dinner unless the Drama League was fit to deny intent to discriminate against Mr. Gilpin." Officially of the Drama League hastened to issue a statement which declared that the circulation reports were based on a misunderstanding. That while the voting was in progress, and before it had been concluded, someone telephoned in and asked as to Mr. Gilpin's standing in the balloting. At that time he stood third among the actors; but no idea could be given of the final stand, as the full list, which included producers, stage directors, playwrights and designers, also would have to be tabulated. The inquirer wanted to know if Mr. Gilpin was likely to be invited, and was told that it was probably doubtful, as the full returns might not place him among the first ten. Gilpin Is One of Ten The balloting was concluded on Saturday, February 19th, and announcement was made in the morning papers of Monday, February 21st, that Gilpin stood sixth among those balloted for and would consequently be invited to be the dinner guest of the Drama League at the annual dinner on March 6th at Hotel McAlpin Walter Hartwig, in charge of the dinner arrangements, made the formal statement as to the result on Sunday evening at Plymouth Theatre, prior to a lecture by versity. The audience applauded the reading of the name, the ten persons selected being Dudley Digney, of "Heartbreak Mouse"; Gilda Vareti, of "Enter Madame"; David Belasco, posting on "Deburau"; Eugene O'Nell, author "The Emperor Jones"; Ben-Ami, of "Samson and Delilah"; Charles Gilpin, of "The Importer Jones"; Lionel Atwill, of "Deburau"; Lee Simpson, comic artist "Heart-House". Margaret Sewert, use of masks in dances in "The Greenwich Village Folies"; Fred Stone, comic artist. Mr. Harring afterwards stated most emphatically that Mr. Gilpin would be invited to the invitation being sent out on Monday of this week. It is the hope of the elementary judging from the news items concerning the matter, that Mr. Gilpin may not accept. It is evident, however, that there is a strong feeling that Mr. Gilpin should attend, not as a colored man, simply, but because he stands as the representative of a particular racial art development. Some of the Comments. Leading men and women of the theatrical world gave expression to their opinions in strong language. Robert Eumail Jones, some artist, said: "It the report is true, I think it outrageous and I shall refuse to attend the dinner." Eugene O. Neil, author of "The Emperor Jones," said: "It costs me. I shall not attend the dinner of the Drama League under these circumstances. It is terrible that the Drama League should make face to face at the dinner. It seems unbelievable." Mr. Trevor starring with Miss Varsal in Entertainme said: "If Charles Caliphia in such treatment shall be the Drama League I shall never participate in any of the activities of the Drama League nor shall I attend the dinner." The following editorial expressions concerning the matter have been taken from the New York and Brooklyn papers named and show the character of opinion brought out by the reports of proposed discrimination by the Drama League. The Globe and Commercial of February 19th made the following comments: "Charles E. Gilpin the Negro actor whose genius has given the 'Emperor Jones' a deserved success, is undoubtedly one of the dramatic discoveries of the year. Some of the members of the Drama League appear to have objected, on account of Mr. Gilpin's color, to inviting him to their annual banquet, at which distinguished actors, including Gustave Flaubert, intended guests thereupon announced that they won't attend if Gilpin isn't asked. The Drama League protests that it is being unrepresented. It can answer the charges effectively by giving Mr. Gilpin the recognition that his artistic abilities, which are far above those common in his own or any other 'race-demand.' NO COLOR LINE ON THE STAGE. (From The Erwin Mail) "The tributes which white men have paid to the military genius and statesman of Toussaint L'Ouverture, to executive ability and powers of deference of Booker T. Washington, and to the quaint and plaintive beauty of the poems of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, all bear witness to the fact that in the realm of genius the color line disappears. "Nowhere should this principle be applied more strictly than to the American stage. For in a very true sense the drama is one of the most democratics of our American institutions. As nowhere else, an artist is judged behind the footlights on sheer mettalance. As blissfully as a crowd in the Roman Colosseum, the playgoing public atts in judgement, ready to turn down disproving thumbs for every failure, surely to acclaim every success. "This democratic characteristic the stage must retain unless it would deliberately forfeit its right to respect, if not its right to continued public support. When the stage could not be preserved in its original form, it would have been a deadlock." makes it the power it is in the life of America today. "The protesting members of the Drama League have done a great job to base sight of this sad fact in demolition of this sacred site. They have bitternamed justice. To themselves and for the art to which they have devoted their lives." DINING WIJIH MR. GILPIN. "There seems no possible excuse for the Drama League's treatment of Mr. Charles Gilpin, the distinguished Negro actor, as an impossible guest at a dinner to the notable figure of the season's plays. The occasion was to be a public mark of honor to outstanding actors, actresses, playwrights and producers. To draw the color line in respect to such an event is to insult the artistic integrity of every participant. "The protest of the prominent stage men and women against the Drama League's action was prompt and to the point. It expressed well the prevailing sentiment of the artists. It knows no limitations of the art nation. Art is the one universal speech. Its creator in every matter touching their art, belong to one fraternity. To suggest any other rule is to suggest treachers to every high and generous item in the artist's treed." "We hope the critics of our stage will note the episode. The prompt protest of these actors and actresses was a fine gesture, fully expressing the faith of true-hearted and generous people. The result should be to transform the Drama League's occasion into a theater in honor of Mr. Chipman, whose will will be glad for any amends that can be made to this admirable artist for a stupid action utterly unrepresentative of the stage or its public." THE DRAMA LEAGUE AND A NEGRO (From The Brothlyn Eagle) "There are not the slightest obligation, legal or moral, not even a tradition, to bind the Drama League to invoke C. S. Gilpin, a Negro to its annual banquet, March 10. On the other hand, members who stay away, themselves, because they feel that an actor who has made a big hit in a big success is the victim of mere race discrimination are wholly right in their course. The invitation is discretionary with the league or a majority of its members. Rebuking the decision arrived at is discretionary with the minority. "However, we think that the world of art, of music and of the stage will sooner or later have to make up its mind to fellowship colored persons of marked prominence. There may or may not be sufficient basis for the theory that the Negro will never excel in mathematics, in the exact sciences of music, but in acting in oratory in music and in painting or sculpture, it be can master the technique of the latter two, the once-slaved race that offer somethingemporarily distinctive, and compelling recognition. "Mr. Gilpin's own statement with reference, to the issue not hotly discussed by the Drama League people is entirely temperate and self-respecting. He says: "I am honestly striving to present my art rather than myself to the public. I have no right to pose as an object of compassion. Against those who do not care to sit in the same dining room with me, I take no complaint. This only will I say: Thus far in the world's history no race or profession has ever been permanently presented from winning an equality rating for itself. Neither Boeker T. Washington nor Frederick Douglass, nor even the creator of D'Artagnan and the Count of Monte Cristo, the grandmother of a Santo Domingo Negro woman, could have put in such a situation. But Alexander Dumais, developing in the broader and more cultural atmosphere of a Latin country, had no occasion for such an apologe." THE LINCOLN THEATRE William De Mille has handled a delicate throne in a skillful and delightful manner, in his latest production for Pasquale, "Midsummer Madness, coming to the Lincoln Theatre this week. Although the story is of a type entirely different from the producer's most recent pictures, "The Prince Chap" and Conrad in Quest of His Youth" it bears the same artistic quality which has characterized all pictures produced under Mr. De Mille's direction. The story, which is based on Cosmo Hamilton's late novel, "His Friend and His Wife," introduces two young married couples who have been life-long friends. In one family the wife, not receiving the little attentions for which every young wife years, is hungry for romance, and in the other, the husband is surfeited by his wife's attentions, and begins to long for new compacts. The enviable romance between the romantic wife and the over-loved husband develops when the other husband and wife both happen to be out of town at same time and affairs reach a critical point, and the husband awaken to a full sense of the wrong they are doing to innocent people. After a highly emotional climax, all ends happy. The cast is rich in screen talent and includes Jack Holt, Conrad Nagel, Lois Wilson, Lila Lee, Betty Francisco and Claire McDowell. AT THE RENAISSANCE The Renaissance has one of the best bills of the season for the coming week, Friday and Saturday, February 25th and 26th. Elaine Hammerssteine will be seen in the "Pleasure Seekers." This picture is the story of the reformation of a pleasure seeking husband by a minister's daughter. Elaine Hammerssteine takes the part of the minister's daughter, and many interesting and funny scenes are developed before she succeeds in reforming her husband. The picture is well acted through and lives up to the slogan of the Seldenk Picture Corporation, "To be happy brains." Other pictures for the book include Mary Fielding in "The Love Lights. of these pictures has been seen on Broadway within the last few weeks. The theatre is also showing a good number and pictorial news, with each picture. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By BOB SLATER A. Stemmette at Orpheum both street and Fulton, Brooklyn, New York. J.

Y. - Last Friday evening the Michigan Avenue Baptist Church staged the first colored fashion show in the city of Buffalo. The exhibition was under the management and direction of Mrs. Agnes Kemp of Treaton, N. J., formerly of Brooklyn, N. Y. Mrs. Kemp has always been in the foremost rank of modern auditors, and upon the invitation of the Philadelphia Whirl club of Buffalo she came to this city with thirty-seven gowns, ranging from fifty to two hundred dollars. The models were selected from the club, and as each one appeared she was greeted with generous applause. The attendance was very large, and at the finish of the exhibition Mrs. Kemp called for an expression of the opinion of those present, and they allotted the show a success. Mrs. Kemp writes the fashion notes for a Philadelphia publication and conducts a school of design in Treaton, N. J. It is rumored that this will be an annual event in this city.

The Chippewas of the B. W. A. are now out of the race for the local championship. Right after losing to the "W" Jrs. they travelled to the St. Phillips gym on Washington's Birthday and were defeated by the St. Christopher Jrs. by the score of 41-28. Due to the inexperience of the time-keeper the first half was played for forty minutes. The game should have ended here and the score would have been 34-12 favor of St. C. But a second half was played which the Chippewas used to a good value. Their squid was changed and fresh players used Demon Mayer started for the victors. McCullen played a good game for the Demons until he was hurt, Englash and Waddell played the best for the Indians. Everyone present enjoy the one hour game. "Y" Jx. Win On Tuesday February 15, the "W" Jr. defeated the Chippewas of the B. W. A. by the score of 23-14. The Chippewas were confident that they would emerge victors over the "W" but after the game they were disappointed because the foul made by Nauton these fouls were made by Nauton. Saith roamed all around the floor and saged baskets at will. Coleman played the best game for the Chippewas. Kewpie Victorious Manager Evans took his Kewpie Arrows to Manhattan Casino Washington Birthday and defeated the Alpha Arrows by his 13.13 game win throughout. At the game game Higgisbottom pulled a sensational shot which saved the game. Midrats Win. On February 19, the St. Christopher Midgets defeated the Gresshopper by the score of 50-0. All the youngsters played a gold game. O Collins and White each made seven baskets. BASKETBALL TEAM FOR NEW YORK CITY REG'T Keeping in step with the increased military activities which have been going on at the 15th Infantry since Colonel Arthur Little was installed recently as commanding officer, the Athletic Association is also taking on new life. This is shown by the announcement that the association is now busily engaged in the formation of a crack basketball team, composed of enlisted men of the regiment. This basketball team will challenge and play all the big teams who are now showing to advantage at the various National Guard armories. For the present the 15th Infantry basketball team will play a series of games every Sunday night at the armory of the 15th Infantry, 132nd street and 7th avenue, after which they will be sufficiently developed in team work to go against the best opponents in the country, and it is quite likely that later in the season they will be matched to play against the champion Celtic team at the 21st Regiment armory. The best colored basketball players in the country will be recruited to join the regiment; and become members of its basketball team. The Sunday games will begin February 27th. THE BILLIARD PLAYERS. Score of students of the game and many interested onlookers witnessed the opening matches of the elimination games Monday evening at the club headquarters. 440 Lenox avenue. Five winners of the recent preliminary tournament, known as the class B men, are matched against each other in a series of games, 100 points each, at 18.2 balkline. Simultaneously, on another table the five losers, those of class C, are likewise pitted against each other for consolation. The winners of each event will be matched to determine who is the club champion. This novel feature planned by manager Willis and secretary Pawne, is designed to ascertain beyond question the proper classification of each player. The ratings will be determined not so much by the number of games won, as by the general averages and percentages obtained. BOXING TOURNAMENT BY 15TH INFANTRY Beginning Friday evening, March 4th, the Athletic Association of the 15th Infantry, N. Y. G., will hold an amateur boxing tournament, under the rules and regulations of the A. A. U., which will be for colored boxers only. The hosts will be held at the armory of the 15th Infantry, 132nd street and 7th avenue, and all the leading colored amateur boxers will take part in the tournament. It is planned to hold the preliminary bouts on March 4th, the semi-finals on March 11th, and the finals on March 18th. Amateur boxers representing the leading colored clubs will send in their applications to complete the tournament, and some clubs will have several representatives compete for the finals which the 15th Infantry, Athletic Association will present to the various winners. Boxers representing the following clubs have been invited to compete in this tournament: The Y. M. C. A. St. Christopher, The Association, Alpha Physical Culture Club, The Spartan A. C., and several others. The Lightweight Championship. Recently the New York News, in answering a question pertaining to the lightweight championship, placed the St. Marks Flashes as the champions over the Borough A. C. Triangles, the Fan Tan Club, the St. Christopher Cubs, the Spartan Hornets and the "Y" Lightweights. I do not agree that the Flashes were the champions because a team that is champion will play any team of good standing on that team's court, provided that a game has been played on each team win one of the games, then a deciding game should be played on a neutral court. The Flashes have been been getting all the money on their games and the teams making the attraction are only getting expenses. All these teams are due a return game, but the Flashes cannot see the use of it. The Fan Tans would like to stage a game with the Flashes, on either of their courts, at Labor Lyceum or Saengerbund Hall. The St. Christopher Cubs are looking for a return game as they almost beat the Flashes on the St. Mark's court. They are entitled to a return game on the court. The Spartan Hornets are willing to play the Flashes on any neutral court agreeable. When the Flashes show that they can win all games inside and outside of St. Mark's Hall THEN and NOT TILL THEN will the Flashes be acknowledged lightly basket-ball champions. Red and Black Machine Wins. In the fastest game ever played at New Star Casino the St. Christopher Machine defeated the Vandal A. C. of Atlantic City, on Lincoln's Birthday, by the store of 27 to 26 in the last six seconds of of play. The game seewed throughout. Vanda made the basket at half time, there was 12 to 9. When the final whistle blew "Fat" Jenkins had just caged a basket from in back of center, which put the Machine one point ahead of the Vandals. Wins Sixth Straight Game Malone, N. Y. The "L.L." basketball team won its sixth straight game when they defeated the crack Co. K. at the Arnory Thursday night by 54 to 16. The game was a walk away for the L.L. team; Martin, the tallest center of the team, made 18 field goals from the Kickoff. The "L.L." team is out for the New York State championship and will meet any team. Thompson Wins Road Run. George Thompson of the St. Christopher Club won the Manhattan and the Bronx A. L. road run, over Pennant A. C. four and a half mile course in the fast time of 20.06. Thompson was given a handrail of 1.30, and came second to Sol Silverstein of the Glencoe A.

CLARK One of the problems of the new basketball association is to select official referees for its games. It should be possible that these referees be selected from among basket-ball authorities in the race here in Harlein. But somehow it seems that the individual players and the different teams of the district have not the same respect and confidence in Colored officials as they have in those of the other race. At the Spastan-Alpha game Chris Huswoold, one of the best Colored basket-ball authorities of the district, was the official referee. Huswoold is honest and knows basketball. Both sides agree to have him referee the game, whether by decision given by him was followed by another and better arguments from one or the other side. The audience also showed disrespect for this official. But the action of the players was due more to the feeling that the referee was one of them than to the poor decisions rendered. Such action is bound to discourage our own men from acting as officials in these games. But it is to the best interest of Colored basketball to have our own officials. It is therefore, important that the decisions of Huswood or any other Colored official carry as much weight as those of O'Brien or any of brize. Let the basket-ball teams of the race support our referees. ALPHA'S EASY VICTORY AT Manhattan Casino on the afternoon of Lincoln's birthday, the Alpha "Big 5" easily defeated the Y. M. C. A. five of Princeton, New Jersey. The Alpha team was heavier than the visitors, and with Johnson, Perlinson and Cooper shooting from all angles, the local team piled up one of the largest scores of the season, the final score being 69 to 10.
