This information leaked out during the week and now the "Home Boys" are all looking forward to the beginning of work of raising the old buildings now on the site where the new building is to be erected. When asked about the new project, President Burke of the "Home Boys" was rather reluctant, but enough was drawn out of him to know that the gossip of the new club rooms which was going the rounds, was well founded. While he would not give the exact site upon which the club will build, it was ascertained that it is to be located on the west side, not far from Gaston street and north of Huntingdon. Just when the work of raising the old buildings will begin could not be found out, but it is thought that by the middle of next month the beautiful new three-story brick club house will be in the course of erection. The building will be the most up-to-date and most elegantly furnished club rooms in the city, used by any Negro organization of this character.. It will have every convenience for the hundred and fifty odd members of the organization and will be put a half block from West Broad street. It is stated that the approximate cost of the purchase of the site and the erection of the building will be between $8,000 and $10,000. Was One of Best Known Railroad Men In This Section Mr. J. C.

GEORGIA,SATURDAY NOVEMBER 26TH,1916 TRIBUNE SUBSCRIPTION RATE TO ADVANCE JANUARY 1, 1917 The high cost of paper and other printer's material has hit newspaper publishers hard. Many publishers have therefore been forced to increase their subscription rates in order to meet this advanced price in material. The Tribune, desiring to continue the same class of paper, has given to its readers for many years will likewise have to increase its subscription rate. Therefore, after January 1, 1917, the subscription rate of $1.25 per year will be advanced to $1.50; All subscribers who desire to renew their subscriptions for the coming year may do so at the old rate, $1.25, provided it is paid before the first day of January. The six month rate will increase to $1.00 Council Asked To Investigate Arrests Council Asked To Investigate Arrests WHOLESALE INCARCERATIONS BRING FORTH PETITION Asked that Responsibility for Arrests Be Properly Placed At a meeting of the city council Tuesday night a petition from a representative committee of Negroes asking that the responsibility for the recent wholesale arrests of Negroes in connection with the labor movements be made known, was presented and referred by council to the committee on policy. It will be recalled that during the summer months about nineteen school boys on their way to work in the tobacco fields of Connecticut were arrested and placed in jail, remaining there until next morning to act as witness against J. H. Butler who was charged as acting as an emigration agent. The case was dismissed. Then more recently, about one hundred Negroes who were in the Union depot were arrested and all but a few of them kept in jail until the next morning when they were dismissed by the recorder. These two instances are the cause of the following petition which was read in council Tuesday night: "Savannah, Ga., Nov. 22, 1916 To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Savannah; of the City of Savannah: "The undersigned, a committee re- presenting a large portion of the Negro population of this city, beg leave to call your honorable body's attention respectfully to the following facts which have occurred during the past several months and which are of public interest. On or about August 10th nineteen Negro students were urrasted as witnesses while they were taking passage on a ship from this port to New York. They were taken to the police barracks on a very hot day and confined in close quarters from early in the afternoon of the 11th until the following morning when they were produced in court to testify against a citizen who was charged of being an emigration agent. The witnesses were non-residents, and almost unacquainted in the city. They were unable to give bond of $200.00 each required of them and were confined in a room at the police barracks where there was little ventilation and no sleeping accommodations whatever. One only was called as a witness in the police court the following morning. On November 1st more than one, hundred Negroes, many of them citizens of Savannah, were arrested in the Union Depot and charged with the offense of loitering. Some of them were able to give bond and explain themselves to the arresting officer after being carried to the police barracks, but about seventy-five were cannified in the (Continued on Page Four) Will Bring Lynchers To Speedy Justice GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO PROTECT, FAMILY National Association Takes up Lynching of James Crawford New York, Nov. 22—Gov. Richard L. Manning, of South Carolina, as a result of the recent Lynching of Anthony Crawford, at Abbeville, has taken a stand which promises to clear the name of the state of the stigma which attached to it during the administration of his predecessor, the notorious Cole "I was out of the state when the Abbeville lynching occurred. As soon as I heard of it I called Solicitor R. A. Cooper and Sheriff R. M. Burt of Abbeville to the office and called on Coroner R. W. R. Nance of Abbeville county to comply with the law and furnish me with a copy of the testimony taken at the coroner's inquest. I found that the coroner held an inquest, but took no testimony. "Solelitor Cooper and Sheriff Burts came to my office and I requested them to secure the names of all parties connected with the affair, those who took part in the whipping, in the taking of the Negro from the jail, in the lynching, and all those who were at the meeting reported to have been held on the following Monday. I have requested Sollelitor Cooper and Sheriff Burts to make a complete investigation of the whole matter and get the names of all parties concerned and to swear out warrants and arrest them. "I intend to do everything in my power to uphold the law and let the offenders know that such acts will not be tolerated, and that those guilty of violating the law must suffer for it. I have requested Solleitor Cooper, as the state's representative and Sheriff Burts as the highest peace officer in the county, to leave no stone unturned in order to vindicate the law and all the powers of the governor's office are at their disposal in bringing the guilty ones to justice." The lynching referred to occurred on October 21 in one of South Carolina's most beautiful and progressive cities. Anthony Crawford, the victim, was a Negro fifty-one years old worth over $20,000. He got into a row with a white storekeeper named Barksdale over the price of cotton seed. It is reported that Mr. Barksdale called him a liar and the Negro cursed him roundly in return, whereupon a clerk ran out to give Crawford a beating with an ax handle: He was saved from this by a policeman who arrested Crawford and took him-to the municipal building, but when they let him out of jail a crowd of men took after REV. BOND INSTALLED PASTOR RUSH MEMORIAL CHURCH Rev. W. L. Cash and Other Delegates Home from Convention The Savannah delegates, headed by the Rev. W. L. Cach, returned to the city this week from the twenty-sixth annual session of the general convention of the Congregational churches of Georgia which was held at the First Congregational Church of Atlanta. The convention was well attended and much work of a constructive nature was accomplished. At the same time of the general convention the Sunday school and Christian Endeavor society, together with the Women's Home Missionary Union was held. The most important event of the convention was the installation of Rev. James Bond as pastor of Rush Memorial church, Atlanta. The church came in with a membership of 284. Next in importance was the recognizing of Rev. J. H. Plekens as pastor of the First Congregational church of Marletta. Among the prominent speakers at the convention were Rev. E. Layman Hood, president of Atlanta Theological Seminary and Rev. J. W. Bixler, pastor of the Second Congregational church, New London, Conn. There are twenty-seven churches in the state belonging to the convention with a total membership of about 2.200. The next session will be held in Marietta.

COLORED STATE FAIR OPENED TUESDAY NIGHT Street Parade Witnessed by Many The Colored State Fair opened Tuesday afternoon at Winter's Park, opposite the Catholic cemetery, on the Thunderbolt car line. The opening of the fair was preceded by a parade of industrial displays on floats through the principal streets of the city. Accompanying the floats was the Ga. State. Industrial College battalion, together with two bands, all the boys were attired in new uniforms and made an excellent showing. The parade ended at the fair-grounds where the opening address was made by Dr. H. R. Butler, Atlanta, grand master of the Masons of the state. The address, which was delivered in the open, was listened to by a fairly large crowd and was brimfull of good, wholesome advice. It touched upon many vital phases of the Negro problem, in a straightforward, frank manner that elicited much applause. Lange's Carnival Show's are presenting the side attractions at the fair and they are among the best of the kind ever seen here. The exhibit which is attracting most attention and which is by far the most complete is that of the sewing department of the State College. The garments on display were selected with much judgment and are a great credit to this department of the school. The fair will continue until Thursday night of next week. Several interesting programs have been arranged for each day and there is no doubt but that the attendance today and next week will be larger than the first five days. MARRIED Mrs. Albertha Richardson and Mr. Geo. Owens were quietly married last Wednesday at the bride's residence, 500 Minis street, Rev. W. H. Prince performed the ceremony.

NUMBER 12 INVESTIGATING LABOR MOVEMENT INVESTIGATING LABOR MOVEMENT JAS. W. JOHNSON INTERVIEWS SOUTHERN EDITORS Cause of Migration of Thousands of Negro Laborers Sought by League During the week, Mr. James W. Johnson contributing editor of The New York Age, who is traveling throughout the South investigating the cause of the recent emigration of over 100,000 Negro laborers to the North, was in the city and discussed the subject with the editors of both daily papers. The investigation which Mr. Johnson is carrying on, is being done under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes and while here he was shown every courtesy by the local branch of the league The Urban League is of the opinion that the fundamental reason why so many Negroes are leaving the South is because of the severe treatment they are receiving together with poor wages. The league, realizing the great value of the papers in moulding public sentiment, has dispatched Mr. Johnson to this section in order that he might discuss frankly the matter of the treatment accorded Negroes and see if some concerted action by the leading editorial writers cannot be had whereby the opinion of the best thinking white people of the South can be put forward in behalf of more considerate treatment of our people. He is also stressing the necessity of the big southern dalles refraining from the publication of so much hateful news concerning the Negro and placing before the public more helpful news items. In other words, the league feels that the scores of prejudiced, harmful news items which appear in the dalles weekly are an important factor in creating bad relations between the races. Mr. Johnson's interview here with both the managing editor of the Morning News and Press was very pleasant and he was much impressed with the way these gentlemen received his views." He has discussed the movement with the leading white editors in North and South Carolina and Virginia. He left Thursday for Florida. From there he will go to Alabama, to north Georgia and to Louisiana and will then work back toward the North where he expects to arrive about the 9th of next month. MISSIONARY MEETING A joint missionary meeting of Abysibia and Thenezer Baptist churches will be held Sunday November 26 at 4 p.m. at the Ebenezer church, located on Russell near Magnolia street. All missionaries and friends are invited to be present. ANNOUNCEMENT The marriage of Mr. James D. Johnson of Washington, D. C. and Miss Pauline J. Jones of this city will take place December 2. The ceremony will be performed at the First Baptist church, Covington, Va., at 12 o'clock noon. No cards on account of recent death in the family. AT THE Y. M. C. A. An unusually interesting meeting was held on last Sunday. The presence of the St. Occlila Musical Club brought out an unusually large audience to witness the superb rendition of two of its choice selections. Too much cannot be said in commendation of this excellent musical organization. The solo by Miss Nettie Houston brought forth the usual high encomium which her efforts always elicited. Col. A. B. Singfield, the principal speaker, lived up to his reputation as a practical, common sense business man, and a booster for all things that will help the Negro in his excellent plea for support of the Y. M. C. A. movement. By suggestion of Vice President Singleton, the committee on plans for the completion of the financial campaign of the Y. M. C. A. was asked to make their final report for adoption on Sunday December 3, when the next meeting will be held, the meeting tomorrow being postponed on account of the desire of many of the members to hear Dr. C. T. Walker and Bishop Johnson at the Fair grounds. T MICHEL J. Matthewe, traveling agent for the Atlanta. Independent, was in the city this week. Old Fashioned Quilting as Modern Trimming Fashion Uses It on Frocks, Suits and Even Coats NEW FORMS OF THE RUSSIAN BLOUSE New York, Nov. 10—Little did our grandmothers dream when they sat together and worked and gossiped at their quilting-bees that the quilting they did then would furnish inspiration for dress trimmings for the women of today! Certainly, the quilting trimming is a very novel idea from the fertile brain of our modern designer. It is generally © MCCALL ASatin Dress with Quilting on Belt and Skirt used in bands at the lower edges of skirts and suit coats and it is also used as a decoration for collars, cuffs and pockets. The work is done in machine-attaching and usually the same color silk as the background is used. The sketch above illustrates the conventional diamond-shaped design but other designs of a less conventional character are also utilized. In this attractive one-piece frock of satin, the belt and the lower edge of the skirt are quilted. Some suits of satin and silk have been seen with quilting on the collar, cuffs and pockets. Imitations of the quilting idea have also been carried out in heavier materials. For instance, a very good looking full length coat was worked with heavy navy blue silk in the diamond shaped quilted design on a mustard © MCCALL The Panel is Enjoying Popularity These Days color background. The large square pockets were entirely covered with this work, a touch of it was on the cuffs, and the collar also had some of it. Mustard is one of the very popular colors for separate coats. Numbers of them are seen at present, some unrelived by any trimming, and others with collars of Hudson seal or other black furs. Some of them also have bands of fur at the edge of the sleeves or of the coat itself. Present Styles Very Youth-Giving The woman who has not invested in a one-piece frock this season must feel very must out of swim of fashion. As the days go by, more and more of these frocks are seen in serge, broadcloth, wool jersey, velours, velvet and velveteen. When a top coat is not necessary, a shoulder cape of fur is the usual accompaniment. Straight lines continue to be the most approved in this type of dress, for the fashion these days it is to be slim, and no better way of obtaining this effect is to be had than by wearing dresses cut on these lines. Fashion dispenses these youth-giving styles most liberally at present, and it is no wonder that women have taken so kindly to them for they make them look young and slender. For producing straight effects, nothing gives better results than the long unbroken panel and consequently the panel is now enjoying its day of popularity. A smart effect is shown here in the dress of black velvet with a satin panel extending from neck to hem. The bulging pockets add to the style of this dress and do not detract from the slender effect. Panels are not all stitched down like this one. Some of them hang free from the dress and are known as floating panels. A dress which has been specially admired was of dark blue crepe metor with long straight panels back and front in the form of a overdress. These were in a lighter shade of blue crepe meteor. They extended from shoulder to hem and were confined at the waist by a loosely-tied cord. The top of the front panel was embroidered in silver across the front. New Russian Blouse Russian blouses are gaining a stronger hold day by day and they have become so universally popular that the name now stands for almost any kind of blouse that has a peplum. The high collar and side closing which once typified the Russian blouse are no longer symbols of it, for this blouse has taken on manyfold new forms. Many of them slip on over the head or are opened in front revealing a contrasting vest; and as to the high collar, it has been quite usurped by the flat rolling collar. Some very dainty models are of Georgette in the prevailing suit colors trimmed with gold or silver thread embroideries. The peplums are sometimes finely pleated, sometimes gathered, and very often they are adorned with little fancy pockets. Blouses of this type are made up for dress wear and they are not only in self-toned Georgettes and chiffons but in flowered and Oriental designs in these sheer fabrics. They are worn with suits or separate skirts. Black satin and black velvet are very smart for separate skirts. Some pretty striped velvets with colored stripes on a black background are also used for skirts, and they are wonderfully attractive. FIFTEEN DAYS CAMPAIGN FOR CHARITY HOSPITAL The present building, housing Charity Hospital has been used for a number of years and is fastly becoming inadequate to the needs of this community. The Charity Hospital has served a very useful purpose. It has been a blessing to many people; it has widened the influence of the Negro physician and has furnished him an opportunity for the unlimited practice of his profession. And now comes this institution which has served so many persons and purposes, asking the public generally to assist it in its effort to get into a modern building in order to carry on to better advantage the work it has so nobly begun. The campaign to raise $20,000 begins December 5th and will continue through the nineteenth The meetings of the teams, captains and workers will be held daily, during the fifteen days canvass (Saturday and Sunday excepted). At these meetings the teams will report results secured and listen to addresses by interested and experienced persons, thereby keeping up the enthusiasm of the workers. After the first meeting, reports of the teams will be received regularly at these daily meetings. The members of each team will report the results of their work to the captains and the captains will report the team's work to the general chairman. This program must be followed in order to keep the work in line with the system outlined by the committee. A score will be kept each day, to see which team will lead. The public is cordially invited to be present at these meetings. The meetings will be held at St. Augustine hall, and will begin at 8:30 p.m. and last one hour. The following committees are to aid in carrying out the program: Publicity committee—Drs. W. A. Harris, C. C. Middleton, C. E. Brent and I. D. Williams. Score committee—R. W. Gadsden, Dr. W. A.

As janitor of the Lutheran Church of the Ascension, Prince A. Green served under the pastorates of Dr. W. S. Bowman, Dr. A. J. Bowers, Dr. W. C. Chneffer, Dr. J. H. Wilson and myself.

NEGRO CO-OPERATION AND SELF HELP Roanoke, Va., Nov. 16—The fourth annual meeting of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, presided over by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, brought to Roanoke several hundred colored men and women who are active in organizing school improvement leagues, clean-up and better-health campaigns, canning and sewing clubs, clubs for boys and young men and co-operative enterprises. Reports of progress in community improvement were brought from many parts of Virginia. Everywhere that white people and their colored neighbors have worked together to improve race relations there has come the twofold blessing: racial good-will and community progress. Clean-up Results Dr. Moton and his loyal co-workers have helped to revolutionize hundreds of communities. The report of Prof. T. C. Erwin, the society's field agent, shows that in a single year the 'clean-up Campaign' in twenty counties of Virginia brought splendid returns: Dwellings painted, 35; dwellings white-washed, 370; homes screened, 51; yards cleaned, 1,029; sanitary closets built, 67; closets repaired, 21; barns and outbuildings cleaned, 138; wells and springs improved, 130; schools and school yards cleaned, 47; churches better ventilated, 20. "It is impossible," says Prof. Erwin, "to estimate the moral and practical good accomplished through the work done in these twenty counties and in a similar way in most of the other counties of Virginia." Major Allen W. Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute and successor to Robert R. Moton, is the new president of the Negro Organization Society. Major Washington is a Hampton Institute product. He is widely known as a wise leader, a forceful speaker, and a man of strong personality. Racial Co-operation Interesting and inspiring addresses were made by the following white people: Hon. C. M. Broun, mayor of Roanoke; Hon. John Wood, secretary of Roanoke Chamber of Commerce; Dr. W. D. Weatherford, student secretary for International Y. M. C. A. Committee; Miss Agnes D. Randolph, executive secretary of the Anti-Tuberculosis Association of Virginia; Dr. James P. Faulkner, executive secretary of Raoul Foundation, Atlanta, Ga.; Arthur D. Wright, state school inspector, Richmond, Va.; Dr. J. P. McConnell, president of the East Radford, Va., Normal school. Plea for Efficiency. Dr. Moton, in his address as retiring president, emphasized the importance of securing the co-operation of state officials in public campaigns for better health and better schools. He outlined the industrial opportunities which are opening up to the Negro, and urged his hearers to be "so faithful, so efficient, so prompt, so reliable, so courteous, and so conscientious in work, whatever that workmay be, whether in the shop, in the kitchen, on the farm, or on the street," that people cannot dispense with their services. BUTLER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Services on Sunday last were very interesting. At the morning hour the text was "Ye are the salt of the earth". At the evening worship the text was, "Saved from all eternity." The Young Peoples Christian Endeavor was led by Bro. F. D. Cain. The topic was "Why Christianity is the hope of our country."

Among the Masons Masonry stands unalterable opposed to all evil in motive or practice, to every form of bigotry and intolerance. It stands as a champion of the largest liberty and action. I would emphasize what another has said. The most hopeless and pitiful condition in human existence today is that of a man of splendid scholarly and intellectual attainments who is bankrupt in the very essence of true manhood—an all inclusive love and charity for his fellowmen. That one whose education does not include possession of the sweet and tender virtues of the heart, is possessed only of that knowledge, that "wisdom of man which is foolishness with God".—Selected. Masonic Charity One who has not looked into the subject can hardly realize how much good is being accomplished through the various charitable organizations in connection with the Masonic Fraternity throughout the country. Our English brethren pride themselves on their benevolent institutions and boys' and girls' school supported by English Masons. In the past twenty years these institutions have expended more than ten million dollars in the interest of charity, and many a son and daughter of an English Mason has reason to rejoice because of the education he has received through these schools. Visitors to the continent from America are always surprised and delighted with the management of these homes and fully realize the great good they are doing. A visit to any one of the Masonic institutions in America will prove that very many of our Grand Lodges have very find Masonic homes for the benefit of orphans or widows and orphan children and for aged members. Many of these homes are carried on in rather an extensive way and all of them are doing great good. A large number of grand jurisdictions which do not possess Masonic homes have constituted Boards of Charity and a certain amount of the gross receipts of their revenue is turned over to these Boards, who dispenses charity in behalf of the Grand Lodges they represent. The latter plan has been adopted by the grand, lodge of Iowa, which sets aside twelve and one-half percent of the annual receipts. And also, annually appropriates from one thousand to five thousand dollars for a temporary fund to be used by the members of the Board for the relief of worthy members. This plan does away with keeping up the expenses of a large home and gives the grand lodge the revenue to be derived from what such a home would cost. It also permits those whom they aid to remain among their friends and associates rather than be sent to some Masonic home or asylum where they would have to comply with rigid rules in connection with such a home. We, in Iowa, much prefer this plan to that of keeping up large and expensive buildings and having to hire a large number of superintendents and help to manage the same.—Iowa Masonic Library. --- Universality of Masonry In the natural course of events a member of the craft is led to regard Freemasonry as being universally spread over the surface of the earth; but how many among the thousands who express that opinion have any idea how nearly the definition is true; or how wide are the ramifications of the brotherhood? The neophyte may endorse this view, and probably think little or nothing of the opinion he has expressed; but how far is it from actual truth? and how far should an expression of opinion be regarded as merely part and parcel of the Masonic system? Experienced - Past Masters and especially those who have journeyed to far-off parts of the universe, can answer these questions; and our experience is that they, one and all, invariably answer them affirmatively, so far as our order in concerned - Freemason's Chronicle. The Bible, Square and Compasses The Bible, Square and Campasses, are often depicted together, thus forming one symbol. The Bible is open. The square is placed with its angle at the middle of the lowest part of the same volume, its limbs extending diagonally across the two pages, in the middle, and their legs extending to the extreme corners at the bottom. By this combination we are reminded that the Bible is the standard by which we are ever to try ourselves and all our schemes and actions, the great directory of our lives, according to which we must apply the square and compasses, both in judging as to the past, and in framing our schemes as to the future. The square and compasses, as well as the Bible, are essential articles of the furniture of a Masonic lodge. The Bible is dedicated to God, from whom we have learned the revelation which is contains, and whose law we learn from its pages. The square is assigned to the whole body of the craft, as all are equally bound, in all their conduct, to "act upon the square." that is, to pursue the paths of moral rectitude. The compasses are specially assigned to the Grand Master, as an emblem of his dignity, and of his official right and duty to direct all the affairs of the craft, and this symbol therefore reminds every Freemason of his duty as a member of the craft, as well as those duties which are incumbent upon him as a man, and in all the relations of life. He is reminded that the authority of the Grand Master Is to be respected, and that he is entitled to the support of the craft, in those affairs in which, according to the wisdom given him, and the powers of the office intrusted to him, he issues his directions. The Bible is the great light of Masonry; the Bible, square and compasses are the Three Great Lights of Masonry.

Saturday November 26th, 1916 Mr. Hughes has sent a telegram of congratulation to Mr. Wilson on his re-election to the presidency. If Governor Whitman retains his hold on the people of New York, he will have an excellent chance to be the next standard bearer of the G. O. P. Better, race understanding, better treatment and better wages would caused the colored man to look disdainfully on every offer to leave the sunny South. The tax and registration books are open. Every tax payer should get his receipt for the year, and those whose names are not on the list should see that it is placed there. Those who are denied this privilege should take legal steps to so qualify. Before the closing of another year, many of those who voted for the retention of the Democrats in office will regret their step. Within the coming four years the Blunders and incompetency of the Democrats will become more apparent, and the result will be a complete annihilation at the polls in 1920. --- The public is being asked to assist in several charitable efforts, that are now being waged. Each one of them is worthy and should be aided. The only regret is that these efforts are being made at the same time and causes a hardship on certain ones who are singled out by every solicitor. Plans should be made whereby the hundreds of persons who are never reached, may be asked to held in these worthy causes. The determined effort with which the governor of South Carolina makes known that he will give adequate protection to the family of the wealthy Negro, James Crawford, who was lynched there about a month ago, must surely call forth the highest commendation from all good citizens of South Carolina and the entire Southland. How often, in cases like this, where one member of a family is made the object of lynch law, the surviving members of the family are persecuted and even driven away from the surrounding community. Of course it is no more than Governor Manning should do, to protect to the fullest extent of his power, the lives and property of the dead man, and yet, how often is the contrary the case, where the lynching of one member of a family is but a forerunner of a series of crimes in which the dead man's family is made the special object of mob violence while the state and county officers sit supinely by, making not even the slightest effort to stop the depredations. Often Negroes distantly related to one who has met with death of the hands of mobs have been so intimidated that they have been forced to leave their all and flee to another section for protection. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which is investigating this and other instances of mob violence in the South has the assurance of the South Carolina executive that everything is his power will be done to bring the murderers of Crawford to justice and to put an end to mobocracy in that state. This association is doing a good and effective work and fruits of its endeavors to at least retard mob law in the South are about to show themselves. In Georgia, a determined stand by the chief executive, such as is being taken by Governor Manning of South Carolina, would go a long way to decrease lynching in the Empire State of the South. An executive with backbone, courage and a determination to see the laws of the state enacted impartially, whether a Negro or white man's life be at stake, is a power which any common wealth appreciates and values more largely than words can express. The family of the lamented James Crawford has been robbed by lynchers of the state of its head, and the assurance of Governor Manning that he will protect them at all times, stand for which he will receive commenda- There is no agency among our people which is accomplishing more for the Negro in the North, and South than the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The league, always seeks to get to the bottom of every movement which effects our people. In the recent labor migration, in which over a hundred thousand hard working Negro laborers have gone from this section of the country to northern fields the league has likewise sought to get information and the cause of this unheard of exodus of the laboring ones among us. The representative of the league who is making a tour through the South and who was here this week, looking into conditions surrounding our people, is of the opinion that the unrest among us come from the miserably had treatment which we are accorded and which is forcing hundreds of us to seek relief elsewhere. He believes also that much of the unwholesome racial atmosphere in which we live can be clarified, by the white press taking a fairer stand, not only in its editorial columns but its news items as well. To know that this opinion is a correct one, it is only necessary to read the news items concerning us, which appear in any of the southern daily papers. There is scarcely a line read about us which is commendable, but, on the other hand, we are placed before the reading public in a most unwelcomed manner. There is little or no attention paid by the responsible, high-minded supervisors of the news articles to those items which refer to us, and as a consequence, we are held up in a most ridiculous light on every side. The Urban League believes that the humiliating articles concerning us which are so often published in our daily papers have a most detrimental influence, and that much of the abuse and bad treatment which we receive are traceable directly to their appearance. There is no doubt that the great masses of whites are swayed by the coloring put into many news items in these papers concerning us and if the National League can in any way cause white publishers to refrain from allowing these prejudiced accounts of us to get into their columns, then there is no doubt but that the living conditions here for our people will be greatly benefited and there will at least be a slight check placed upon the heavy exodus of our men for the North. WHERE INTIMIDATION REALLY EXISTS Washington. Nov 15.—Late in the recent political campaign information was given out from the department of justice to the effect that large numbers of colored men had been transported from the South into some of the northern states and that there was suspicions that this was done under the guidance of Republican campaign managers who wanted to colonize the colored voters for illegal purposes at the election. Any man who would stop to think would immediately see the absurdity of such a proceeding. The transportation cost alone would amount to not less than $20 per vote, and it would cost double that sum to keep the imported men in the voting precincts until election time. While there has undoubtedly been purchase of votes in both political parties in the past, no political campaign manager has ever paid the price such as this in order to add to the number of ballots in the box on election day. Notwithstanding the absurdity of the story, the Department was willing to let the impression go out that Republican campaign managers were directing the colonization of men from the South. The fact of the matter is, as shown by census reports for a number of years back, there has been a steady drift of colored laborers from the South to the North because of the higher wages offered and a greater demand for help. Moreover, the Department of Labor itself has been encouraging this drift of colored laborers northward, as its records show. The action of the Department of Justice in thus endeavoring to cast reflections upon Republican campaign managers was no more reprehensible than the unusual action of the Department of Labor just before election in issuing orders to its agents in the South that they should discontinue aiding southern colored laborers to find employment in the North. Here was a plain effort of the Department of Labor to utilize the offices of the government for political advantages. One of the duties of the Department of Labor is to aid in sending laboring men where their services are most needed. If, in the regular and legitimate exercise of that function, one party gains or looses an advantage, that is not the concern of the Department. It has been encouraging colored laborers to move northward before the campaign began and it should have continued its efforts along the same line without any variation whatever while the campaign was in progress. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE regard was LEGAL NOTICE in an effort government. George Any deviation in that regard was nothing more or less than an effort to use the powers of the government for partisan political advantages. COUNCIL ASKED TO INVESTIGATE ARRESTS barracks until the following morning when their case was called in the police court. The case against them utterly failed, not one of the defendants being even required to make a statement. "It is hardly necessary to say that these arrests have caused an uneasy feeling among the Negroes of this city and the surrounding country, and has done and is doing injury to this city. We feel that any citizen of this city or any visitor to this city should feel at all times that his rights are to be protected. While it is true that these cases have been dismissed, the citizens of the city generally and the Negroes in particular are in ignorance as to the cause of these illegal arrests. Many people of our race have gone North during this year because of inducements offered them there, but we do not know of a single, case where there has been any improper influence brought about by the Negroes of this city to cause anyone to move from Savannah. As already stated there is an uneasy feeling among our race. We do not know if any steps have been taken which will prevent these illegal wholesale arrests or if they are to be repeated: We respectfully ask that your honorable body, or a committee of council investigate the causes of these arrests and that we be permitted to appear in the hearing and submit evidence if necessary to the end that the blame for these illegal arrests be placed and that we thereby gain assurance that they will not be repeated.

WORKING FOR EARLY CLOSING OF STORES The Savannah Federation of Women's Organizations is working hard on a movement whereby clerks, shop girls and all employees of stores may get off early in the evening. The organization believes that by urging the public to do their shopping early the late closing hours at some of the stores may be eliminated. The public is asked to assist in this movement. The president of the Savannah branch of the Needle Work Guild asks that the members of the colored branch assist in this movement as far as possible. In order to stimulate the movement, the organization has put out hundreds of pledge cards, some of which will be distributed among our people. The card reads as follows: "Early closing movement, Savannah Federation of Women's Organizations. Pledge: I hereby pledge not to enter, or purchase from any store, except drug stores, restaurant and confectioners, after 6:30 p.m., every day of the year, excepting the two weeks before Easter and the two weeks before Christmas." SOUTH CAROLINA STATE DEFEATS GA. STATE 6-0 In a rather tame and unspectacular game in which the old style game was adhered to almost entirely, the South Carolina State College team defeated the Ga. State boys on Monday afternoon on the campus of the latter by a score of 6 to 0. The only chance the local boys had to score came within five minutes after the game started, when they had worked the bad to their opponents' twenty-two yard line by line plays, only to lose it by a foolish place kick after two downs had gained five of the required yards. The South Carolina Boys slightly outwelghed the local boys but not enough to make any appreciable difference. Their line was far more improbable and charged low and hard. In fact, it was due to the excellent work of the line that they were able to carry off the honour of the afternoon. Both teams essayed several forward passes but very few were complete. A crowd of about six hundred witnessed game, over one hundred going out from the city. The local boys play their last game Thursday against the Florida State College boys. The game will be played on the Ga. State campus and no doubt will be fiercely contested as each side is anxious to break the 0-0 game of last year with a victory.

Dear as thou werst, and justly dear, We would not weep for thee; One thought shall check the starting tear, It is, that thou are free. And thus shall faith's consoling power, The tears of love restrain, Oh, who that saw the parting hour, Could wish thee here again? Triumphant in thy closing eyes The hope of glory shone; Joy breathed in thy expiring sigh. To think the race was run. Gently the passing spirit fled Sustained by grace divine; Oh, may such grace on us he shed. And make our end like dine. Loving husband, Mr. T. H. Delaware Children, Jennie R. Delaware. John N.

J. S. WALKER, Agent 509 West Broad St. THE 'SAVANNAH · TRIBUNE THE BEST OF THE WORLD Very Rev. Ignatius Lissner, whose silver jubilee celebration as Cattiolie priest will be celebrated next week. To be Discussed at the Tuskegee Negro Conference to be held Jan. 17-18 The foundation for the success of the Tuskegee Negro Conference has been erected upon helpful, everyday discussions of matters of immediate and practical importance to the race and to the South, the land where the majority of these people live and must work out their future. The South is losing millions of dollars every year and the Negro race is seriously hampered in its progress because of sickness among the colored people. To equip the race to meet the conditions of the future with vigorous health and resisting power, it is essential that these fundamental laws of health be impressively brought to their attention and methods adopted to prevent the great, waste from sickness brought on by ignorance and carelessness. It has therefore been decided to give considerable attention to the question of Negro Health at the next Tuskegee Conference which is to be held at Tuskegee Institute, January 17 and 18. Farmers' Conference The agricultural parade this year will not only include an exhibition of the various activities at Tuskegee Institute, but will also by means of various floats, show how the new economic conditions are being met by farmers of the South. The parade will form promptly at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning, the 17th, and after making a circle of the principal thorofares at the Institute, will conclude its march near the chapel where the various floats will then be on exhibition. After the parade, the visitors and delegates will be escorted through the various industrial and agricultural departments where demonstrations and exhibitions of interest and instruction will be held. From 12:15 to 1:00 lunch will be served the visiting farmers and friends and after lunch the conference proper will open in the chapel with a brief address by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. Expressions upon the life of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and reports from local conferences will occupy important places on the program before the meeting is turned over to a discussion of "The new economic conditions now facing the South." "Rasing cotton under boll-weevil conditions"; "Diversifying crops," "Live stock raising" are among the many phases of complex situations involved in this new economic condition. The viewpoint of farmers, landlords, preachers, teachers, merchants and bankers upon these subjects, based upon their actual experiences will lend first-hand information which will be of immense value in reaching some conclusions as to methods. Workers' Conference The Conference of Workers will be held in the assembly room of the academic building, beginning Thursday morning, the 18th, at 9:00 o'clock and will continue till 4:00 with a one-hour intermission for lunch. The subjects for discussion in the morning are "Health Improvement for Employers" "Food as a factor in health" "The National health week movement as an aid to better health conditions." The entire afternoon will be given over to a discussion of the control of preventable diseases. In connection with the Workers Conference a special meeting will discuss the "Life and conduct of kids in boarding schools." Lady Deans from fifty schools have been invited to take a part in this discussion. Features Briefly Described The Tuskegee Institute choir will sing the old time spirituals and plantation melodies. Various national health organizations ```markdown ``` P. Rev. Joseph Dahlent, of Macon, who will be one of the main speakers at the Catholic celebration. the U. S. Government, the Alabama State Board of Health, and some of the largest insurance companies have been invited to send health exhibits for the conference. A special free clinic will be held at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital during the two days' session and many prominent specialists will be present to assist Dr. Kenney. Charts containing valuable information regarding crop, health and living conditions are being prepared by Mr. Work, editor of the Negro Year Book to be displayed in the chapel. A unique exhibition will show how Tuskegee Institute, is solving its own health problem. An exhibition of corn and canned goods will be held in the frame building near the chapel. Prizes will be awarded as follows: for the best corn there will be three premiums of $5.00, $3.00 and $2.00; for the best canned goods also three premiums of $5.00, $3.00 and $2.00. Among the persons invited to be present and speak during the conference are Mrs. G. H. Mathis, diversification agent for the Alabama Bankers' Association; Mr. Bruce Kennedy, secretary of the Montgomery chamber of commerce; Dr. Dowling, the famous health specialist of Louisiana; Dr. J. E. McCulloch, secretary of Southern Sociological Congress; Dr. A. M. Moore, who is doing splendid work among Negro rural schools of North Carolina and Editor B. J. Davis of the Atlanta Independent. Mr. John Sneed, formerly of this city but now living in Washington, D. D., arrived here on yesterday where he was called on account of the death of his father. Mr. Sneed who is a member of the Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia, speaks very interestingly of the Washington boys' stay on the Mexican border last summer. He will return to Washington early next week.

HART Manufacturer Negro Business Men Must Be Versatile NEGROES SHOULD GO OUT AFTER BUSINESS Sette ctee eae Ree . Wn many respects, the average Negro business man fails to seize the oppor- tunity for business getting-which pre- sents itself to him from time to time, simply because he seems to take many things for granted. Perhaps, there is not 2 man among us who, today, can- not recall some instance where some man of the race in business did not have some Kick coming, respecting the trade of members of his own race go- ing from him, if you please, to the “Dutchman on the corner.’ ‘These unsatisfactory conditions, in the main, grow out of the fact that the average business man of the race fails to adapt himself to the prevail- ing business-getting customs which have been so successfully used by the indomiable competitar, “the Dutebman on the corner.” The writer, in taking an observa- tion a few days since for his own special benefit, not hinting to anyone as to what his ideas were in this re- gard, passed a number of small shops| kept by foreigners who cater to a very large extent, to Negro trade. It was indeed interesting to note the ex- terior cleantiness of the places, as well as the exactness-of how the cans, bot- tles and other things offered “for sale ‘were placed on the shelves and what pains were taken to wipe off the count- ers, after the sale had been made. These men make it a point to keep busy when they are not actually en- gaged in making a sale in cleaning their windows, removing from their stock such unsightly things as lust, cobwebs, flyzpecks and such other things which do not appeal to the exacting taste of the twentleth century Negro house wife, who shuns such un- plghtly things, as mentioned above as quickly as she would a striped snake, In one of the very neatly kept places ave noticed the stock on band very carefully. The truth to tell, there was not more than $75 worth of goods In this place, not comnting the soda fountain fixtures, The shelves wére decorated with fancy paper*made for that purpose aud the cans and bot- *tles were placed in an artistic and in viting manner, and on the top of the shelves a number of empt¢ advertising boxes were placed In a way so as to appear as tho they were full of xoods which were labeled on the outside , in other words, this foreigner, who ‘went out after, and was catching the Negro irnde, had adopted the method to get it and was simply setting it, that's all. ‘As a rule, we think every man gets out of bis business just what he puts into It, ‘The man, be he white or black, who puts system, activity, honesty, en- ergy and brains into his business fs bound to get dotiars ont of 5. ‘The Nexto Business League can see no just reason why a place of busi- ness operated by members of the race should be known as such, simply be- cause of the untidy appearance of it.

Miss Leavitt, one of the fore- most astronomers of America, visited and spoke to the class in astronomy, describing her invention by which stars were discovered and _ phato- zraphed while she was at the ob- servatory of Harvard University. Rev. W. L. Cash, of Savannah, delivered an inspiring and helpful chapel talk, and Mr. P. A. Denegal, also of Savannah visited and spoke at the teacher's meeting. Rev.

Stearns. . ‘This is our last, study in the epistles for some time to come, but the believer who desires to grow in grace and walk with the Lord will study them con- stantly. In our lesson of two weeks ago we gave some attention to the whole of this epistle, but a little repeti- don will be helpful, with some add!- Uonal thgéghts. The epistles, as a rule, are for believers or saints or saved sinners to build them up and fit them for service, that God may be glorified in them and other sinners saved to help complete the church and bring the time of the kingdom. The first eight chapters of this letter teach most fully and clearly that all, with- out exception, Jews and gentiles, are sinners and guilty before God and that salvation is wholly of grace, apart from any works of ours, and that, being Justified freely by His grace, we are made children of God, joint heirs with Jesus Christ, In the love from which nothing can separate us; that, while we wait for our redemption bodies and the deliverance of the whole creation from its bondage and groaning, we have’ all things freely given us in Christ and all things are working to- gether for our highest good. + Chapters ix, x, x1, may well be called an epistle within an epistle concerning Israci and her future. Then in our Jessoa chapter and onward we are told how ‘we ought to live here to the glory of God because of all that He has done for us through grace. “I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,” because of His great grace, His great love. His great salvation, the great glory of the kingdom to which He has called you, all that He han done for you, is doing now and will yet ‘do. Let Him have your body to live in, to make a mansion of, while He is preparing your mansion In glory. In Rom. vill, 26, 31, 34, we learn that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all for us, and in John xiv, 17, 23, we learn that they will make their home in us if we are willing, making each of us a mansion for the indwelling Trinity while our mansion in heaven 1s being prepared. The words “mansion” and “abode” in John xiv, 23, are the same word in the Greek, a little noun of only four letters, and used nowhere else. ‘The same truth fs stated a little dif- ferently fn Epb. ill, 17, “that Christ may dwell or make His home in your heart by faith.” The Mving sacrifice consists of our belng willing to die to all that Is of self for His sake. It cannot be self and Christ, It must be “Not I. but Christ” (Gal. i, 20). “We ‘who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh” (II Cor. iv. 10, 11). As it Is written in Rom. vill, 36; Ps. xllv, 22, “For Thy sake we are Kill- ed all the day long.” Belng made ac- cepted In the Beloved at such Infinite cost, 8o great q sacrifice on IIIs part. it is a reasonable service that we should beswilling to be a sacrifice for Him, both in word and deed, that He may be seen in us and known through us (Phil. Iv, 18; Heb. xIll, 15, 10). We have been called out of the world to vontinue in it, but not be of it' The whole world Heth in the wicked one. It. fs an evil world, and its ways and cus- toms are all opposed to God, and the only correct attitude for the believer is crucified to it and it to us (Gal. 1, 4; vi, 15; Jobn v, 19). The works of God are beautiful, but men at enmity with God are ander the control of the devil. and the condition of things in Europe (June, 1915) gives us some Idea of what he can do. He is a deceiver, a liar, a destroyer, a mur- derer, and all who are not In Christ and on his side are on the side of the devil. How can a child of God be willing to be conformed to such a world? The word that Ss translated “transformed,” {s used only four thnes and twice In the account of our Lofd’s transfiguration’ (Matt. xvil and Mark ix). The other place besides here is II Cor, iil. 18, where the translation is “are changed.”. Our lesson verse says that the change must be inward, the renewing of our mind It begins when we receive the Lord Jesus and thus become new creatures in Christ: then as we continue beholding Him we are changed by the Spirit day by day, proving more and more fully how good and acceptable and perfect the will of God is.

"The day a white mail tills nie is the day I die," Anthony Crawford once said to a friend. When he saw the crowd coming he went down in the boiler room of the gin, picked up a four-pound hammer, and waited. The first man who came at him, McKinney Cann, received a blow in the head which fractured his skull, but some one hurled a stone which knocked out Crawford before he reached anyone else. While he was down, they knifed him in the back and kicked him until they thought they had finished him, when they permitted the sheriff to arrest the unconscious Crawford on condition that he would not take his prisoner out of town until they knew whether Cann would live or die. Cain was not hurt as badly as they thought, but nevertheless a mob went to the jail at four o'clock that afternoon, took their keys and guns away from the sheriff and jailor, dragged Crawford through the streets of the Negro quarters with a rope around his neck, hung his mutilated body to a pine tree at the entrance to the fair grounds, and expended a couple of hundred rounds of ammunition at it. On Monday a meeting was held in the Abbeville court house at which it was decided to order the sixteen sons and daughters of Crawford and their families to abandon their $20,000 home and get out of the state by November 15. After the meeting the mob proceeded to close up all the Negro shops in Abbeville. The Columbia State, in a powerful editorial, points out that in view of the exodus of Negro labor from the South to northern industrial fields and the approach of the boll weevil, South Carolina's problem was to keep her colored men instead of serving notice on them that no matter how industrious or successful they might be, their gase was absolutely hopeless. It so convinced the business men of Abbeville that they had lynched their own pocket-books, that Jon November 6 another meeting was held in the court house at which the following resolutions were unanimously passed: "We the citizens of Abbeville, in mass meeting assembled, do hereby express in unqualified terms our disapproval of the recent violent acts of certain persons committed in our community, and the spirit of lawlessness that seem rife in the county, resulting in continued acts of lawlessness it is. "Resolved: That the sheriff of Abbeville county, the mayor of Abbeville, the police force, and every officer of the county and city, be urged to use their effort to enforce the law and to protect the citizens of the town and county regardless of conditions or color. "Resolved further: That we do hereby pledge ourselves as individuals to give to the officers of the law our physical support in maintaining the law. "Resolved further: That if it be necessary to carry out this determination that the aid of the state and federal government be called in order that every citizen may enjoy his rights under the constitution. "Resolved further: That a committee with Capt. J. L. Perrin as chairman, he appointed for the purpose of ascertaining what can be done toward the organizing of a local military company for the protection of the citizens of this county and for maintaining order in our midst. That this committee be empowered to act in the premises. "Resolved further: That every citizen of the town of Abbeville be assured the protection of the men of this meeting as long as he obeys the laws of the state, and pursues only his own legitimate business. "Resolved further: That a meeting of the law-abiding citizens of Abbeville be called to meet in this court house on next Monday at noon to perfect an organization for enforcing law and order in this county, and that every community in the county he represented at this meeting, and that steps he taken to show the people of the state and United States that the men of Abbeville county will defend the law, and protect the citizens of the commonwealth in the enjoyment of all rights guaranteed by the law." At the meeting on November 13 the above resolutions were endorsed by prominent citizens from all parts of the county, and a committee of twelve men are to be appointed, "who shall have for their duties the furtherance of the ends sought by the meeting, by taking up with the citizens of the county the matters discussed and endeavoring to bring about a proper understanding between the people of the county, and a due observance of the laws of the land." As a further guarantee that the Crawford family is to be defended in their rights to live in South Carolina and enjoy the property accumulated by three generations, Governor realize the gravity of this offense and am determined to do everything in my power to bring the offenders to justice. I have called on the sheriff of Abbeville county to take the necessary steps to prevent any unlawful action with regard to the expulsion of the family of Crawford. "I am giving serious consideration to this matter with a view to making recommendations to the Legislature, so as to deal with such conditions when they arise." INTERESTING NEWS FROM FROM NATION'S CAPITOL Washington, D. C., Nov. 22—Thomas Wallace Swann, Chicago's live-wire journalist and political advisor, has been in the city for several days. He is accompanied by his private secretary, Dr. Peter J. Smith, who is also a factor in journalism and politics. a factor in journalism and politics. Mr. Swann attended the session of the American Federation of Labor in Baltimore last week, and through his association with President Samuel Gompehs of the A. F. of L., in the campaign for Mr. Wilson, Mr. Swann was given a favorable opportunity to come into close contact with all of the labor magnates of the country. He share with them in the anxiety to bring the vast army of colored industrialists in line with organized labor, and in a number of conferences mapped out a comprehensive plan by which the Negro workers of the North and those of the South may organized into satisfactory units and become useful factors in the union. The Negroes who migrate to the North are to be unionized as they come, according to the plans of the labor leaders, and which plan is endorsed by Mr. Swann and his sympathizers. The fear expressed by timorous ones that the importation of Negro labor means an influx of cheap labor to compete with high-priced white labor is without foundation, according to the best authorities. The employers are offering good wages for unskilled colored labor, and these Negroes who are of the skilled trades will receive the union scale whether they work in any permanent way. With a labor famine threatening the, big concerns are glad to get colored helpers and is paying them the same wages as the whites are getting for the same class of work. Mr. Swann in his strong presentation of the Negro laborers' claim to national recognition, went farther than the whites intended to venture. He plans, not only to have the Negro immigrant in the North unionized, to protect the wage scale of both races, but it is his idea to unionize the Southern Negro as well, to elevate the labor standard in efficiency and to secure better wages and better working conditions all round. Mr. Swann scouts tions an round the sea. Swain about the idea that the southern movement of unionism is to tie the hands of the Negro workman and to prevent his coming North to compete in the labor market with the whites. The falling-off in foreign immigration makes the Negro a necessity in the North and the employing classes will protect him against any "kick" on the part of any narrow-minded d unionists who might fee disposed to make trouble by raising the color line. In the South, the force of the union would help to make wages higher, for with the white man unionized also, the scale of compensation for all in the heretofore backward South would be bound to go upward. The growing intelligence of the Negro in handling farms as well as tools will make for a well-rounded prosperity for all. There is no way on earth to keep the black man out of nature's heritage and labor unions are wise, in Mr. Swan's opinion, to get the race's confidence now, before an industrial war sets in, in which the black man, on his native heath, might have the better of the argument. The political force of the unions was shown in the recent campaign, when both parties bid for this ballot of the workers of the land. How Congress was made to sit up and take notice when the trainmen asked for the so-called "eight-hour law" is pointed out by Mr. Swann as an evidence of the wisdom of the colored brother in seeking an alliance that may work out big results for him some of these days. A wire direct from the National Training School at Durham, N. C., indicates that the great Conference of Educators, projected by Dr. James E. Sheppard, the resourceful and popular president of that institution, is a pronounced success. The attendance is surprisingly large and is representative of the best thought of the race. Many schools of eminence and authority have sent delegates and the program has been entered into with vim and enthusiasm. A full report will go out from the conference at its close on the 24th. The results of the Training School for the fall season have been attendance and interest of the students. The crying need is a new building for the many who wish to take advantage of the broad advantages afforded. A wonderful singer, is Mime, Mayme Caloway-Byron, Chicago's gifted prima donna soprano. She has dramatic power, personal magnetism, and attractive stage presence and a voice that is remarkable for its range, volume and sweetness. She possesses an individuality of her own, methods that bear the hallmark of originality, and technique that might be adopted from a number of the traditional schools of music, yet worked out to serve her special needs. She gave evidence of confidence in herself and faith in the ability of the audience to get into sympathetic touch with her. Mme. Byron wasted no time in preliminary "warming up" but attacked the fortress at once with that big number the "Jewel Song" from Gounod's "Iaust" and rendered it in a style that was masterly for finish and exquisite in fervor. "Raffles," Frank Hernug's sterling comedy drama, made famous by Kyle Below years ago, was "raffled" off too soon this week for its own good and for that of the usual competent players who essay to interpret its delicate situations. The piece was not properly due here until next week, but a shift in arrangements brought "Raffles" into the Howard ahead of "The Lloh and the Mouse" now being presented in New York City. Consequently the performers went on with insufficient rehearsals and at the opening Monday night were painfully unfamiliar with their lines and "business". This is the first time this has happened here, altho "The City", which had its premier at the Howard fell somewhat short of the high standard that has characterized the initial offerings to Washingtonians. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the race's premier dramatic reader, is booked for an early appearance in Chicago. She has finished a series of successful engagements in and around New York City. Frank Montgomery's comedy company, now playing at the Colonial theatre in Baltimore, will come to Washington at the first available opening. The aggregation, headed by that top-liner, Miss Florence McClaim, is an excellent one. Bert Murphy is a bright spot in the constellation of stars. The first annual "Stove League Banquet" of the "Baseball Boosters' and Knockers Corporation" will be held on Thanksgiving day. This organization is unique in its conception and bids fair to supply a long existing omission in off-season amusements. The originator of the corporation is Lieut:Ernest R. Gaither, of the treasury department. In order to become eligible to membership one must have witnessed at least fifty games of baseball, thus establishing a right to be called a "regular". An additional requirement for membership is that the applicant must be either a "baseball crank" or a "baseball fiend". That part of the organization known as the "knockers" is not to be taken literally. They have won by their ultra-criticisms and contentious dispositions that renowned sobriquet of "knockers" while at the same time their loyalty to the game is beyond question. Mr. Wellington A. Adams was the promoter of an interesting Teachers' Recital at the Columbia Conservatory of Music last Monday night at the Floridia Avenue Baptist church.
