ALARMED WHITES STOP NEGROES 2,000 LABORERS, INCLUDING HUNDREDS OF WOMEN, ON WAY TO NORTH DISAPPOINTED—LABOR TRAINS HELD UP—DEPUTY SHERIFF MAKES FALSE ARRESTS TO STOP WHOLESALE EMIGRATION. Savannah, Ga.. (by special correspondent.) VOL. V. NO. 20 The two trains which it was rumored throughout the city would leave here Monday loaded with laborers for work in the north did not materialize and by their failure to go the hopes of over two thousand able-bodied men who were ready to chance their luck in other fields were blighted. So wide spread was the rumor and so eager were the men to get off that thousands of them started for the mobilization point, four miles on the Augusta road, Sunday night, and early Monday morning there was a sufficient number pres-ent to fill a train of fifteen coaches. By ten o'clock Monday morning it seemed that every hacking car in the city was traversing the road between West Broad Street and the four mile point and as each car would unload the already large and anxious crowd resting along the railroad tracks was increased by others of the expectant so-journers for the north and hastened back to town for another load. This was kept up by the drivers until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon when thousands of persons were on the scene. The crowd was stretched up and down the cross tracks for a distance of about a half mile and as each, north bound train approached a mighty yell went up from the two thousand odd men and women who were expecting to go to the north where they would find employment at a figure two times that which they are getting here for their day's labor. There were men there who were up to the sixties and there were lads in the crowd who were not far from the knee breeches age, yet they were all intent upon going and waited patiently for the two labor trains that they were told by their friends would take them, north free of charge. Women were there, too, all ready to board the train and go with it wherever it was bound. There were about five hundred of them, some old, some young, and some even with nursing babies in their arms. The rumor had spread throughout the city that they too were to be taken and many of them disposed of all they possessed with the exception of the things necessary for the trip. Many of them even sold their furniture and gave up their homes. Stretched along the tracks under the watchful eyes of their owners were trunks, grips of every description and even baby carriages. Spectators to the number of about four thousand were there viewing the expectant travelers and wishing them good luck. About 5 o'clock the county police, augmented by a detachment of city officers, appeared on the scene and attempted to clear the tracks, but the crowd was too large and finally the officers found their task impossible for as they would clear one section of the tracks the crowd would serge to another. The crowd was extremely orderly and good natured and the two arrests that were made were for minor offenses. SEVENTEEN COLLEGE BOYS DE TAINED AS WINNESSES Case Dismissed by Recorder Next Morning Charged with violating the city and state law in sending labor out of the state J. H. Butler, manager of The Savannah Tribune, gave bond Friday afternoon of last week for $1,500 to appear in court next morning. At the same time of his arrest, seventeen college boys who were waiting at the New York stenner's dock ready to sail were apprehended by the city detectives and held at the barracks as witnesses. The arrests were the outcome of the labor agitation which has arisen here this summer caused by the departure of about 3,500 laborers for the north. Immediately following the first deportation of laborers about four weeks ago, Editor Johnson of the Tribune upon noting the great opposition the city authorities were manifesting toward the movement, obtained an opinion of Asst. City Attorney Atkinson on the matter and was advised by him that the forwarding of students from this port to the tobacco fields of Connecticut did not is any way conflict with the labor laws of the city or state.

Shaw, Manager. rants charging misdemeanors, a formidable army of policemen and deputy sheriffs, accompanied by Solicitor Zack Childs, brought the Negroes back to this city, where they will be held pending legal operations to stop the wholesale emigration of laborers from this section. The officers got wind of the fact that a large number of Negroes from this city and vicinity would entrain on the 2:30 a. m. for Savannah en route to northern and eastern points, and realizing that the continued exodus of Negro labor is bringing about a serious condition of affairs among the farmers of this territory, they determined (Continued on page 4.) Negroes to Fight Discrimination While in Kentucky on a visit to his old home attorney Geo. L. Vaughn, was retained by the citizens of Columbus to take action against the Mobile and Ohio Railroad because of its failure to furnish suitable accommodations for the transportation of Colored passengers from its main line into the town. Lawyer Vaughn states that he found the Negro passengers were compelled to ride in the motor room of an electric car, amid the grease, express and machinery, while the white people were furnished with clean, comfortable, cushioned seats. He got busy at once, with the result that the citizens engaged him to remedy the condition. He is already busy at his task and reports himself fit physically and mentally after his southern sojourn.

Madame Walker presented a very pleasing appearance, while in attendance at the league, and was constantly surrounded by a host of friends and admirers. She gave an illustrated lecture for the entertainment of the delegates on Thursday evening, during the regular session, which was enjoyed by all. Madame Walker is noted for her business ability, she owning today more real estate in her own name than any other woman of the Negro race. She stated that she is now on her last regular business tour, as she expects to retire from active business and spend her time at her home in New York City. She expects to build a hundred thousand dollar residence for her future home. After leaving Kansas City, she continued her trip though the South.

VIRGINIA KILLS SEGREGATION UNITED STATES CIRCUIT JUDGE WADDILL AT NORFOLK GRANTS INJUNCTION AGAINST CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS—DECLARES LAWS UNCONSTITUTIONAL—CASE UP TO U. S. SUPREME COURT. In the United States Circuit Court, at Norfolk, Judge Waddill this morning granted Robert G. Griffin a temporary injunction against the city of Newport News, restraining the municipality from enforcing the race segregation ordinance. The action grows out of the recent decision of Police Justice Robinson, who gave a large number of Colored people brought before him, thirty days to move out of a certain section of the city, they having been charged with violating the terms of the segregation ordinance, which prohibits Colored people from living within certain areas defined in the law. The injunction was secured by Attorneys Thomas Newsome and W. R. Walker, acting for R. G. Griffin, Colored, a citizen of Yorktown, who owns certain property in the East End, described in the injunction as lots 645 and 647, block 85. asserts in his allegation that the law is unconstitutional. He further alleges that there is now pending before the United States Supreme Court a suit involving the identical question complained of here, a decision of which will settle the matter for all the states in the Union. He concludes, by saying that he is advised and so alleges that an irreparable injury will be done him by the enforcement of the ordinance above mentioned and will be a virtual confiscation of his property by the city of Newport News, without any compensation whatever. Is Temporary The injunction as granted is temporary in its nature and is returnable in September. At that time the case will be taken up on its merits and the court will decide whether the injunction shall be made permanent pending The Petition The complainant sets forth in his petition that he has erected a building the upstairs, of which he rents to Colored tenants for $50 per month. He further cites the ordinance and Negro Business League Closes Spirited Session Negro Business League Closes Spirited Session The sixteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, which closed at Kansas City, Mo., last week was of unusual interest to not only the delegates, but to visitors and the people of the country at large.

A large delegation was present, but the visible presence of Dr. Booker T. Washington was missed. A large portrait of Dr. Washington painted by Robt. Bell, of Kansas City, was upon the platform, also a vacant chair draped in mourning, were constant reminders of the founder of the League. The local league of Greater Kansas City, spared no paints to make the stay an enjoyable one to all who attended. Parades, banquets, automobile rides were a few of the pleasures offered to delegates and public. Commendations are proper for President Weaver and his able corps of assistants. Special Features The parade and pageant were interested parts of the program. It was headed by an escort of mounted Negro police and a Negro Fire Company, who are a part of Kansas City municipality, followed by a line of nearly a mile long. Poro College Represented The display of Poro College, of St. Louis, consisting of fourteen automobiles, a ladies' band, and nearly a hundred agents, brought forth the admiration and applause of thousands of spectators along the line of match. No other business or firm was so largely represented as Poro College. Each auto bore two large signs with words "Poro College." The women in each car were very enthusiastic during the parade, thus making themselves the center of attraction. The home office was represented by Prof. and Mrs. Malone, Miss Maudelle McMurry, Prof. Lewis, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Singleton. Officers Elected J. C.

A NATION OF MOBS AND LYNCHERS "Five Negroes lynched by a mob in Florida," are the small headlines in the daily papers of last Sunday. The account occupies only one and one-half inch space, single column wide. There were two women and three men. They were in jail, it was easy to arrest them. They were taken early in the morning from the jail, at Newberry, and hanged by the mob. The blood of five negroes not being sufficient to sate their thirst the deputy sheriffs hunted around and found another Negro and shot and killed him, making six all told. What crime did they commit? None. They were merely accused of aiding a Negro to escape whom it was thought killed a white man. A constable had also been killed, but whether he killed himself or was killed by a white man is a question and merely a question in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, notwithstanding. If during the present European war a submarine had sunk a vessel and drowned five or six Americans the nation would blaze with indignation, but a Georgia, Texas or Florida mob may hang, shoot, burn or put in anyway to death ten times five Negro American citizens and the papers will make no comment, give the scantiest space and most obscure corner in the journal to the mention of such news. You cannot eloak shame and outrage with silence. It will out, murder will out: It will be the knocking that Macbeth heard, it hammers upon the American heart, it is the laying up of wrath against the day of judgment which, when it comes, will show an awful score and tally-mark for the American nation to settle. Apathy and silence cannot ignore it, rocks and mountains cannot hide it. This lynching will be the "damned spot that will not wash out" on the escheuteheon of the nation. The Eneyelopedia Britânica says, "lynching is essentially and peculiarly an American institution:" True history places the stigma of lynching upon the people of the United States of America. No other nation listing itself among the civilized, or uncivilized nations, is so addicted or so cursed. The frequency of lynching and the enjoyment it brings to some communities makes it a pastime. Who is the most diabolical savage, the Sumatran who eats men deceased or the American who burns men alive and gloats over their agonies while they are burning? The horrors of these American lynchings are indescribable and are now swelling into such proportions that the United States government needs lay its hands on the crime and stop it. Under our federal constitution all citizens are guaranteed life, liberty and property, and, it further pledges, that no state can deprive any one of these rights without due process of law. Those six lynched the other day in Florida were given no process of law. They were murdered without conviction, without law and without authority. The law was trampled into the dust and the lives of women and men were made a brutal saerifice to the reasonless and relentless race prejudices of white savages. Congress can do something and the nation need do something to stop it. We will protest, we shall insist on appropriate legislation being passed by Congress to carry out the provisions of the constitution giving every man, woman and child the protection of life. BETTER OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEGRO LABOR. BETTER OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEGRO LABOR. The Northern Negro, or rather the Southern Negro in the North (he is a big majority among Negroes there) will find just before and after the close of the European war a marvelous increase in his opportunities for work and a great improvement of facilities for his industrial advancement. The Pole, Italian, Greek, Hungarian, and various Balkan immigrants that have been industrial competitors of the Negro in the United States will remain at home or be forced to return to Europe to repair the destruction of the war, and replenish the devastated fields. The demand for labor will be greater than the supply and the European supply will drop off 95 per cent in the United States. This condition in the North will have its effect upon the Southern Negro, who, on account of low wages, no protection of the law and civic proscription, will leave the South in droves to find better wages, ampler educational facilities and great protection against the venomous race prejudices that have cursed the South for centuries. Already the demand for Negro labor is increasing. The traffic manager of the municipal docks way out at Seattle in Washington, writes to Negroes that he will draw no line, but opens his doors cheerfully for the employment of Negroes. After the war is over there will be a demand for labor in Europe, skilled and unskilled, to repair and rebuild the waste places that Europe cannot meet, and, hence, the call will be great for the products of our fields and factories. Then the United States will get busy; then the industrial opportunities of the Negro will appear; then the oppressed, underpaid, intimidated and unprotected Negro labor of the South will migrate North where he will be welcome to help work the mines and make the iron and build the public works of the indomitable and progressive North. This condition will cause the South to open its eyes. They will see that they are losing much of the greatest laboring population of the world, and will begin at once to increase wages, remove restrictions, better the schools, apply the law instead of the torch, rifle or rope to accused Negroes and thus make happier, conditions for it We have received on our c tinel," published by the Wom street. It seems to be strictly wide field in which to work Moseley and J. T. Castor are and it is safe to predict that chips fall where they may. T in the field. to end the practice if possible. Sheriff Harvey, Deputy Sheriff Bob Price, Policemen Lowery, Sumner Ford, Bigsby, Chalkley and Solliciter Zack Childs all boarded the 2:30 train with warrants in their possession. The Negroes holding transportation for the north also climbed aboard, and not until the train was speeding toward Leslie did the officers begin their operations. By authority of the John Doe Warrants the officers took into custody all Negroes bound for the north and detained with them at Leslie, where automobiles were in waiting to bring them back to Americus with their prisoners. A Tribune representative wishing to ascertain the truth of the situation, approached several of the railroad officials Wednesday and was told that there would be no further deportation of laborers over their lines from this point. Many of the men who were waiting at the four-mile hill for transportation north, were from neighboring cities. Some of these men have returned home while others are in the city. Not to be entirely disappointed in their desire to go north, over three hundred men paid their own fares and are now across the Mason and Dixon line where they will find employment at wages that will enable them to realize much more than the average dollar and twenty-five cents paid here. FLORIDA MOB LYNCHES THREE NEGRO MEN AND TWO WOMEN Five Were Accused of Aiding Player to Escape—Taken From Jail and Hanged Gainsville, Fla., August 10.—Five Negroes, three men and two women, were taken from the jail at Newberry, Fla., early today and hanged by a mob and another negro was shot and killed by Deputy Sheriffs near Jonesville, Fla., as the result of the killing yesterday of Constable S. G. Wynne and the shooting of Dr. L. G. Harris by Boisey Long, a Negro. The lynched Negroes were accused of aliding Long to escape. They were all hanged to one tree. --- ALL HAIL! ALL HAIL!

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear mother and grandmother, Mrs. Harriet Allen, who departed this life two years ago today, August 25, 1914. We have heard the cold wind sighing, Through every bush and tree Where mother, dear is lying Away from love ones three, Tears from our eyes are flowing, And sorrow sheds our brows, Wenry was bush and parting, We have no mother now.

Johnson, Mrs. Carrie Taylor, and Mrs. Lyda Wilson, daughters; Miss Mary Wilson, grand-daughter.

"Mr. Hughes has unequivocally taken the right position, and as regards all other positions he, and not his opponent, is entitled to the support of both men and women, and therefore the women in the enfranchised states who do not in this election support him forfeit the right to say they have done their utmost for their sisters in the non-enfranchised states."—From a letter of Theodore Roosevelt to Miss Alice Carpenter. Need of Constructive Legislation. Just before the European war broke out we had a million skilled mechanics out-of-work and nearly half a million railroad men were idle, together with nearly half a million freight cars. The railroads were suffering from lack of freight to carry to market; and industry was gradually becoming stagnant. In Louisiana two hundred thousand acres of sugar land were plowed up because of Democratic changes in the tariff law. It is generally conceded by all save the blind that the country was not progressing. Attempts were made to keep courage up by the predictions made by Secretaries McAdoo and Redfield and President Wilson of the great trade booms which were soon to appear but which failed to materialize until the outbreak of war on the continent. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS. Two futile invasions of Mexico and six separate and distinct policies on the question of permitting arms and ammunition to be sent into that country are included in the performance of the Wilson administration in its dealings with our southern neighbors in less than three years. It is this characteristic instability of the government that makes people want a change. When Charles E. Hughes said: "The dealings of the administration with Mexico constitute a confused chapter of blunders," he gave an explicit characterization of the Wilson administration's policy in one sentence. Just as it is now obstinately shutting its eyes to the need of industrial preparedness, for three years the Wilson administration used to see the need of adequate military preparedness. With war on southern border it was content to rely on a regular army that could only muster 40,000 available men and refused to continue—the established policy of building up our navy. When the time came for action, the country had not sufficient troops to police the border and this force has been supplemented by a trifle more than one third the war strength of the national guard. If the national administration had had the ability to interpret the signs of the time military preparedness would have been well under way instead of only begun. Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate, recognizes an important fact that Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic president, appears to have overlooked—that the United States is the only major military power of the American military preparedness to be maintained in order to HAVE a pleasant time on your trip to Kansas City on account of the NATIONAL COLORED BAPTIST CONVENTION, September 6-11.

SUTCLIFFE Extension Department Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—The peace of God shall guard your heart and mind—Pill. 4:5-7. These three verses should be read together to get the thought the apostle has to give us. Someone has epitomised them by saying we are meant to have carefulness in nothing; prayerfulness in everything, thankfulness for anything, and it might be added, peacefulness in all things. "Be careful for nothing;;" or, as the R. V. says, "in nothing be anxious;" or, as we would say today. TOMMY BROWN "don't worry." It means, as Conybeare and Howson put it, "let no care trouble you." A most surprising exhortation when we think of the sin us, us; surprising when we think of the many painful experiences we meet, the hard surroundings, the bitter circumstances, the unexplained disappointments; surprising when we think of the constantly increasing difficulties that strew our paths. Yet in spite of all of these he says "don't worry." We need not worry, it is wicked to worry, it is against the lessons of nature revelation and our peace in the Lord. It is disobedience, too, because it is the Lord himself who says "Be careful for nothing." It is well known that worry will kill where work only makes strong. How are we to avoid that which is so common among us? The next sentence tells us. "In everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." Here is the simple method of avoiding the useless, wearying worry. Take everything to God in prayer. Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear- All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer. The small things or the large are to be taken to him, the joyous, glad things as well as the sad and bitter things, the simple things as well as the difficult, the personal and private as well as the public affairs—everything is to be carried unto the Lord. And they are to, be taken to him with thankfulness. The thankfulness will be there in the measure of our trust in him. A little boy takes his broken toy to his father. After seeing it the father said, "I'll fix it for you, son." The boy says, "Thank you, daddy," and goes off content because he trusts his father's word. To the measure of our trust in our Father when we bring our affairs to him will be the measure of our thankfulness. Only let us be as children before him and the outcome will be certain. "The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds, through Jesus Christ." The heart as a fortress will be guarded by the peace of God and the mind, the entrance to that fortress, will be kept by the same peace. It is the peace of God, not merely peace with God. The latter is for the conscience and comes by faith in his work; the former is for the heart and mind and comes by faith in his word and his presence. We cannot conceive of God being worried. Nothing can overcome him, nothing the future holds can ever take him by surprise. No evil the past holds that the blood cannot blot out, no distress of the present that he cannot relieve, and no darkness of the future that his presence cannot lighten. And to the measure of our trust will be the measure of our peace. Unbelief and an unsurrendered will are the two great hindrances to the enjoyment of the peace of God which passeth all understanding. A child came close to his teacher's side. His book tight clamped in his little hand. "Teacher," he said, with wistful eyes, "We're coming to words that I don't (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of -the Sunday School School of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). (Copyright, 1918, Western newspaper Union.) JOURNEYING TO JERUSALEM. GOLDEN TEXT-I command you to God and to the word of his grace—Ephesus 29:22. After his experience in Ephesus Paul went to Corinth, where, amidst much sickness and affliction, he cared for the churches, corrected their wrong conduct and probably wrote several of his letters and epistles (II Cor. 4:7:11; 11:28; 12:20). From Corinth he journeyed by way of Phillip to Troas where he preached his famous long sermon (v. 5-12), that sermon which had such a tragic result. It is recorded as a witness to the power of the prayer of faith and Paul's readiness to serve in time of need. In his haste to reach Jerusalem before the Day of Pentecost (A. D. 58) Paul did not return to Ephesus, but, in order to save time, he had the elders of that church meet him at Miletus (See a good map). 1. A Great Review (vr. 17:28). Paul's statesmanship and genius for organization is nowhere more clearly set forth than here. He had plans for a great evangelical campaign of Latin lands, (Ch. 19:21). Before purging his plan he decided to visit Jerusalem carrying with him the collections which had been systematically taken up in the various churches on this tour (Rom. 15:26; I Cor. 18:1-5; Acts 24:17) and he was accompanied by a considerable number of pilgrims. (See v. 4.) It is a good thing to pause occasionally and to take stock, to review our lives and to see what progress we have made. This Paul did, and to this Ephesian delegation he enumerates (1) his character among them (vv. 18:19). They knew his manner of life, how that, as a bond servant, and "with all lowliness of mind," he had served their church. They also knew that with tears he had wept over their hard and impenitent hearts (v. 31) and all of this amidst many testings; (2) his method of work (v. 20). Paul not only worked at his trade of tentmaking, but found time for the public proclamation of the gospel and also house to house visitation. He was after men, not notorious. He was always and ever at it, amidst trials, self-denial and the "lying in wait." (Am. R. V.) of men; (3) his methods (v. 21). He had the same message for Jew and Gentile, "repentance toward. God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." Repentance is not for Jews alone. Paul shrank not from declaring all that was profitable for their encouragement, reproof, warning, help, training in service and hard study. He had taught them publicly 4n-classes, and had visited them from house to house and had invited them to his own home. Paul's aim, as is the teacher's aim, was to make all people patriotic citizens of the kingdom of heaven while on earth, that they might fight the good fight of faith against all evils, even the principalities and powers of evil. It was a great undertaking, and he knew not what might befall him, but he did know that bonds and affliction awaited him; however, none of these things could move him from his purpose. He "counted not his life as dear unto himself" if so he he might hold out until the end and accomplish his course and ministry. This epoch-making journey, one of the greatest in history, suggests in many points our Savior's last journey towards that same city (Luke 9:51). Like his master, Paul knew that ahead of him were trials, but he also knew that God was leading him in obedience to the Spirit's guidance, though it was over the protests of his friends. II. A Great Charge (vv. 28-38). It is a great experience when one can declare himself pure from the blood of all men (vv. 26), and that he has not shrunk from declaring the whole counsel of God. Such conduct always brings an obligation upon those who know and hear such men, vis., that it should be emulated. These elders were to return to the church at Ephesus, not to be servants of themselves but to feed the church of God (vv. 28). Paul knew, as a prophet, what would be in store for them (vv. 29-30). Therefore he exhorses them to watch, and warns them how by his own hands he had supported himself and had lived a righteous life among them (vv. 34). We have here rescued from oblivion a new saying of our Lord Jesus Christ, "It is more blessed to give than to receive," one not found in the gospels. It is this giving which produces a higher quality of happiness and a more noble character. It is the blessedness of Christ, heaven, and of the Christian religion. It is also the blessedness that endures. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS Church St. James A. M. E. Church, St. Ferdinand and Pendleton Streets—Sunday, Sunday-school, 9:30 a. m. Preaching 11 a. m., and 8 p. m.

CUBAN STARS TO PLAY 5 GAMES WITH GIANTS The celebrated Cuban Stars' Baseball Club will open a five game series with the St. Louis Giants at Federal Park, Sunday, August 27. This will be the second trip the Islanders have made to the Grand-Lakelede grounds. They made a clean sweep of the first series but they will find the St. Louis team a vastly different machine when "play ball" is called next Sunday. Charlie Mills' boys have "rounded to" just as we predicted and no teams in the country can claim anything on them now. We look, for them to take 3 out of 5 from the Cubans. The games will be hard fought all through for both teams are noted for gameness. Mills has secured another new pitcher, Moore, from Louisville, a red-hot left hander with a wealth of "stuff." ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS BY H. T. M. THEATRES BOWMAN AND BURNETT FEATURE THE BOOKER WASHINGTON SHOW THIS WEEK Howman and Burnett are featuring the Booker Washington show this week with one of the classiest acts be- fore the footlights. This team has been seen here several times, but never before have they displayed such talent. The scene is a Mexican camp and the costumes are of the Mexican Indian type. The chief asset of the couple is their excellent singing voices but this is greatly enhanced by their excellent acting. Miss Burnett has improved in health and is a real stags beauty. They are making a big hit closing with a revival of "The Big Red Shawl." Frank Rodgers, the ventriloquist, assisted by his two manikins, is repeating his former success. The kids keep up a stream of fun with their antagonism. Rodgers is very good in his phonographic imitation. Gertrude and Green, as "the Outside and Inside Man," are humorous. They have a new line of humorous talk and do considerable singing and dancing. Nance Norman, the mystic reader, did not seem to be able to get her act going the first half of the week. It was hard to discern whether the failure was due to the reluctance of the patrons in answering to their initials or whether the young lady was unable to read the letters correctly. The new ceiling has been completed. This improvement will have a threefold benefit. It will prevent the dripping of water due to condensation, will aid the circulation of both hot and cold air and will offer better acoustics. The theater jealous being repainted and redecorated inside and out. The second half of the week presented Harry Mayer, instead of the mystic act. Mr. Mayer has an original creation of comedy and instrumental effects that are unique and highly entertaining. He plays several instruments including piccolo, xylophone, cello and piano. NEXT WEEK AT THE BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER BLANKS AND HARPER The Artistic St. Louis Favorites. FRANK POSTER The Hilariously Encentric Comedian. BUSTER AND BAILEY The Kingpins of Burlesque.

Both Kennerd and Bennett are reliable men. All the games are scheduled to start at 3:15. The regular prices will prevail and box seats can be reserved in advance by phoning Federal Park; Bell, Lindell 4525. Monday and Thursday will be ladies' days when the fair sex will be admitted free. The Peorians proved, a bloomer Sunday. They went up in the air and appointed some three or four thousand fans. The All-Stars have been getting their this week, but the games have been exciting. There is no question of the calibre of the contest Sunday. It will be worth going miles to witness. "THE NIGGER" POSTPONED TO TUES. SEPT. Story of a Southern Romance Highly Indored by Leading Colored People. Shows Better Side of Human Nature. St: Louisiana will get an opportunity to see Edward Shelton's celebrated play, "The Nigger," with William Farnum in the title role, on Tuesday, September 5. Manager Thomas James, by special request has secured the picture for the Rialto Skydome and Movie Theater on the above date. "The Nigger" is highly praised by leading Colored people throughout the country. It tells of a romance of love, politics and the inevitable race taint, draws out the finer and higher qualities of human nature and ends in a race loyalty that is truer to nature than any other play written with the race question as its theme. "The Nigger" was shown at one of the churches here last winter. Those who saw it say it is a picture that every woman, woman and child should see. It is a tale of a young son of a Southern plantation owner who grew to popularity and was elected governor only to be exposed by his enemies, who learn he has "Colored" blood. He is engaged to a white belle of the state, who implores him to go north with her, where the taint in his blood will not be known, but he declares that he will resign his office and devote his life to the betterment of the Negro and to solving the problem of the black man. The play touches the heights and depths of human nature. It is like a mountain rooted in the living rock and rearing its summit above the clouds. Every one should see it on September 5.
