THE TULSA STAR Fisk University Faces Crises Noted Institution in danger of losing vast sum. A call for help. Vol.1, No.26 Fisk University Crisi Noted Institution in sum. A Fisk University, the most noted Negro institution for higher education, is facing a serious crisis in its attempt to raise an endowment fund. The institution was offered $60,000 more than two years ago by the General Education Board, on condition that it raise $240,000 in addition, for liquidation of accumulated indebtedness of about $50,000, for the repairing and refitting buildings, for the installation of a heating and lighting plant, and for endowment. An amount of $380,000 was to be raised, two-two-thirds of which to go for endowment. The institution has run all these years, almost entirely through the support, from year to year, of white friends in the north. About two hundred of these friends have contributed toward the present endowment effort, but the total amount given leaves $104,000 yet to be raised. The time limit of the initial offer of the General Education Board expires June 1st and the University authorities have no assurance that this time limit will be extended. The alumn are carrying on a loyal rally to raise $25,000 as their share in the fund, but there will still remain nearly $100,000 which must be secured from other friends The white frinches of the Negro have contributed generously to this fund and now are asking what the Colored people propose to do. The authorities of the University are making a nationwide appeal to the Colored people to rally to the resene of this institution which for forty-seven years has offered all that is highest and best in education and culture to the Negroes of the land. They want 100,000 colored people to send them at least $1 between new and June 1st. Checks and money orders should be made payable to Fisk University and may be sent to the editorial office of this paper or directly to Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn. All contributions sent to the office of this paper will be acknowledged in its columns. Shall we rally to the call of an institution which from its foundation has aimed to set the feet of young Negroes in the path to all the learning and culture which the best institutions of the land afford. Who will lead with one dollar? Smith in the lead (Special to The Star.) Langston, Okla., April 24, '13. The fight for the postmastership at this place is causing no little excitement among the citizens here who are taking a lively interest in behalf of the leading candidate N. B. Smith, a citizen of this town who has lived here more than twenty years, at all times enjoying the implicit confidence of all who knew him. Smith is now employed in the legislature and cannot therefore devote much time to urging his own candidacy, but his friends are busy for him. As a student at the Langston University Mr. Smith made friends of all the faculty as well as the students, and later as deputy sheriff he acquired a wide acquaintance and of course made many new friends. A petition was circulated here several weeks ago for Mr. Smith and when his acquaintances learned he was a candidate for the postoffice all were anxious to sign it. Prof. Inman E. Page, president of the Langston University wrote a personal letter recommending Smith for the place, and several other influential men have personally recommended him. At present Mr. Smith is manager of the Pioneer Telephone company here and is conducting a merchandise store which his wife is managing in his absence. The people here feel confident of Smith's appointment. No Color line for Pres. Wilson Washington, Friday—The question of appointing Negroes to office is not going to become a problem in the present administration; it was learned today. Nor will the color line be drawn by President Wilson. There are positions which are accepted as calling for Negro officials, such as minister to Haytian and Liberia and register of the treasury. These will be filled when the incumbents' terms expire by other Negroes, if the president adheres to his present position. But the president will not name Negroes for positions that have caused what he considers unnecessary agitation. Consequently it is unlikely that a Negro will be named for any of the positions in the south, especially for the Charleston collectorship. Neither is it likely that a Negro will be named as an assistant attorney general, to take the place of Attorney Lewis of Boston, whose election as a member of the American Bar Association on the insistence of Attorney General Wickersham created considerable comment. Colored Girls Win Honors in mix sChOOl Another is Second in Class of 300 Shows Color Is Not Inferiority and value of Mixed School to Prove It. The day of all days for the senior class of the Rockland high school arrived Wednesday, April 10, when Principal Cobb announced the rank on which is based the distribution of honor parts for the commencement exercises of next June. This year the rivalry was unusually close, and the students have been in a state of almost painful anxiety for some weeks. The salutatory was awarded to Hattie Walters, with a rank of 94.38. Viola Nelson was awarded second essay with a rank of 92.725. Of a school of over 300 these two Colored girls graduate with honors against a great deal of opposition. Hearty congratulations are in store for both. NO DISCRIMINATION The Democratic Assembly at Albany, N. Y., passed Assemblyman Llevy's bill, and it having been signed by Governor Sulzer, prohibiting discrimination in public amusements in the State is a progressive step on the part of the Democratic party in New York is one state that will refuse to ratify the proposed amendment to the constitution of Vardaman, of Mississippi.—The Bee. "Then the waiters' hopes of a sympathetic strike were not realized?" "Naw; there doesn't seem to be much sympathy for a waiter." HIS CONCEIT.

SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1913 REALLY A GREWSOME AFFAIR Englehman Narrates a Somewhat Ump- pleasant Experience While Rhinoceros Hunting. In the Nairobi club I met a gentleman with one arm gone at the shoulder. He told his story in a slightly bored and drawling voice, picking his words very carefully, and evidently most occupied with neither understating nor overstating the case. It seems he had been out, and had killed some sort of a buck, while his men were occupied with this he strolled on alone to see what he could find. He found a rhinoceros that charged viciously, and into which he emptied his gun. "When I came to,' he said, 'it was just coming on dusk, and the lions were beginning to grunt. My arm was completely crushed, and I was badly bruised and knocked about. As near as I could remember I was fully ten miles from camp. A circle of carrion birds stood all about me not more than ten feet away; and a great many others were flapping over me and fighting in the air. These last were so close that I could feel the wind from their wings. It was rather grewsome.' He paused and thought a moment, as though weighing his words. 'In fact,' he added, with an air of final conviction, 'it was quite grewsome!"—Steward Edward White, in American Magazine. OF COURSE NOT. "Why, he even imprinted a kiss upon my lips." "But that kind of printing doesn't show." IN TRAINING. "Father, I have cut down your favorite cherry tree," announced a modern youth. "That's a good start toward the presidency, my son. Fine basis for an anecdote. Now, what's the next step?" "I hardly know. Shall I split it into rails, or work it up into golf clubs?" PUZZLE "I was in a quardary this morning when Jinks told me he wanted assistance, as his wife was getting very light-headed." "Why were you puzzled?" "Because I didn't know whether she needed a doctor or a hair specialist." SADLY SORDID. "I suppose you agree that reform is necessary." "Oh, yes," replied the political boss. "Reformers introduce a whole lot of legislation that is important to us practical guys because of the amount some people are willing to pay for the privilege of evading it." ADMIRER OF SHERLOCK. Mrs. Kawler—Well, my little man, I suppose you are going to follow in your father's footsteps when you grow up. Bobbie—No, I'm not. I'm going to be a detective and follow in other people's footsteps. GOT BACK AT HER Mrs. Gabbleigh (nudging her husband, who is snoring)—William, you'd make less noise if you kept your mouth shut. Husband (only half awake)—So'd you—Boston Evening Transcript. WHERE WIND REALLY BLOWS According to Veracious Kansan It Would Be Hard to Beat the Brand in the Sunflower State. The western "cyclone" has many strange antics to its credit, but, if we may believe Mr. Peters' story in the Kansas City Star, the high winds of the open prairie are even more to be dreaded than the whirling force of the tornado. "There are some things that an old resident learns out there from observation and experience. One is that when you are facing a hard wind, you must keep your mouth shut. One day I was traveling with a tenderfoot from the east. He was a long, slender man, about six feet and three inches long, and about six inches wide. He had no more meat on his bones than a fork handle. As I was saying, one day we started to ride across the prairie, when the wind came up in our faces, blowing at the rate of one hundred miles an hour or so. "That tenderfoot opened his mouth to say something to me. I heard him make a curious noise and looked around to see what was the matter, and saw that he had inadvertently swallowed about six or seven barrels of wind. He looked like an inflated air cushion, and seemed to be about four times his natural size. It seemed to set him sort of crazy, and he jumped out of the buggy. When he lit on the ground, he bounded into the air like a rubber ball, and then went bounding across the prairie like a tumbleweed before the wind. At the end of three miles he fell into a canyon, where the wind couldn't get at him and stopped, but it was a week before he was back to his normal size." STIRRED UP BY CHIVALRY French Criminal Lawyer Sets Forth Defense He Has In Mind for Lady Macbeth. Henri Robert, a leading French criminal barrister, held enthralled a distinguished gathering at the Universite des Annales a few days ago as he showed how he would have defended Lady Macbeth. In this impassioned defense of the tragic queen, Mr. Robert said she was not the shrew she was sometimes painted. Her husband, whom she loved dearly, was always absent on warlike expeditions. When he returned for a brief spell he spent his days hunting and his nights in the great hall of the castle in drunken revelry until he and his friends fell asleep in their armor. Was it not natural that she yearned for something, she knew not what, that would put an end to her life of loneliness, monotony and weariness? "Another point," said Mr. Robert, "which I would argue in defense of my client—a point on which Shakespeare is silent—is the long and deadly feud between Lady Macbeth and the family of the old King Duncan. Her first husband, her father-in-law, her brother and her grandfather had all been killed by Duncan's grandfather, and she only saved her own life by fleeing to Ross, where she met General Macbeth, whom she afterward married. A vendetta existed between her family and that of Duncan. That is the defense I put forward for Lady Macbeth." FEW CAN. Willis—Wonderful memory Bump has. Gillis—Indeed? Willis—Yes. You could go to him right now and he could tell you just where he put his lawn mower, flannel trousers and screen doers.—Puck. COMES HOME TO HIM MORE. Heck—Do you believe in home rule for Ireland? Peck—I'm more interested in home rule for husbands. "Are there any antiques in this neighborhood?" "There is a family of them on the next block." UNDERSTOOD JOB. Willie—Pa, why do people talk about the patience of Job? Henpeck—Because they don't know your father, my son. N. A. A. of C. P. In Philadelphia White and Colored engaged in work. Philadelphia, Pa., April 24. At last it seems the Negro is awakening to the fact that he must fight his own battles; he sees also that all white people are not against him and that many notable white men and white women are ready to assist him, when the Negro indicates that he is willing to stand up for himself. No organization is doing more in preserving the rights guaranteed the race andighting encroachments thereon, than the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which met in its fifth annual session here yesterday. The opening session was held in the Geneseth Israel Temple. The association is made up largely of colored people but some of the foremost white men and women are actively engaged in expanding the association and making it more useful. By some it is thought that the association is fighting Booker T. Washington. The prominence of Dr. W. E. DuBois in the organization is usually what gives rise to the thought. And it is really a fact that DuBois is the dominating spirit o f the organization and it is equally true that Du Bois has won a more commanding position among our people by reason of the association than from all his former efforts. The papers, speeches and discussions during the sessions of the association will serve as an inspiration to our people and the prediction is freely made that it will not be long before the association for the Advancement of Colored People is the most powerful race organization. HAS GOOD AND BAD EFFECT Result of Psychological Study of the Continuous Use of Caffeine on the Human System. The influence of caffeine, the active principle of coffee, on mental and motor efficiency has been studied by the psychologists. The Journal of Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Methods reviews the experiments on 16 subjects, ten men and six women, over a period of 40 days, reported by H. L. Hollingworth, including an intensive experiment of three days to study the effects of caffeine at close range and to determine their time relations; also a seven-day test with syrups. A cup of coffee contains about 2.5 grains of caffeine. Mr. Hollingworth finds the effect of small doses from one to four grains, to be stimulating, with no appreciable after effect; doses of six grains or more clogging of the mental faculties. Speed and quality of performance in typewriting seem to be improved with small doses of the caffeine alkaloid, from one to three grains, and to be unfavorably affected by larger doses of four to six grains. The effect begins in one to two hours when the drug is taken in a syrup, and from two to three hours when taken in capsule form. When taken in coffee it is believed that the effects of the caffeine may be somewhat neutralized by other ingredients. The effect of continuous use of the drug was not determined by these experiments.—New York Times. THEIR CLA88. "Prisons ought to have their inmates classified."

So far as numbers were concerned, the advantage was with the British; for they had 12,000 soldiers, while General Jackson could muster barely 6,000. In discipline, too, the British were far superior, for they were well trained veterans who had seen service on the battlefields of Europe. The American soldiers, on the other hand, were for the most part raw militia, plainsmen in coonskin caps and homespun clothing. But In results the one-sidedness was the other way. For three weeks Jackson had been training his raw soldiers, and when the British advanced to the attack they found the Americans strongly intrenched and well prepared to receive them. The slaughter was terrific. The British loss was about 2,600 killed and wounded, while on the American side only eight were killed and thirteen wounded. And the pity of it was, there was no head of the battle, for peace had been declared between the two countries. Among the American soldiers were many from Kentucky, and for years afterward this song was often sung In that state: "Jackson led to the cypress The ground was low and mucky; There stood John Bull in map There stood John Bull in martial pomp, And here stood old Kentucky. And when so near we saw them wink, We thought it time to stop 'em; Lord! It would have done your heart good To see Kentuckins pop 'em." CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY A REMARKABLE FAMILY OF ACTORS. Bv A. W. MACY. In 1753 John Ward, an English theatrical manager, opposed a match between his daughter and a member of his company, not wishing her to marry an actor. He finally gave consent, however, consoling himself with the thought that the young man was not much of an actor. In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight reached maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The eldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Siddons. The oldest son, John Philip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble." The eleventh child, Charles, was a renowned comedian, while his daughter, Fanny Kemble, was probably the best known to the public of all the family. Her sister, Adelalde, attained considerable popularity as a public singer. Her son married the daughter of General Grant. (Copyright, 1911, by Joseph B. Bowles.)

The friendly relationship existing between the white and colored people of Tulsa is both edifying and gratifying. The best people on earth live in Tulsa. The colored man's opportunity is, in a great measure, confined to his own people and the business man who forgets this makes a fatal mistake. The actions of President Wilson touching the "color line" is a fair tribute to the 600,000 black men who cast their ballots for democracy last November. The new Stratford Flat on N. Elgin is nearing completion. When finished this will be the only building of its kind owned by colored people in Tulsa. The example is set. Let others follow. The cesspool criticized by the World has been eliminated, but the dirty filthy cesspool of stagnant water at 114-116 North Elgin is still a dangerous public nuisance. Will the World please look into this cesspool? Tulsa might well boast of a progressive, intellectual class of ministers such as preside over the colored churches here, all of whom are loyal race men full of the grace of God and the spirit of universal brotherhood of man. Our sanctum sanctorium has been visited by quite a number of well wishes already and they have shown their sincerity by subscribing for the Star or leaving job work for us. We appreciate sincere well wishers. They are already welcome. The Wells Hair Manufacturing school of Tulsa is the only one o fits kind in the state. There is a great demand for skilled workmen in this line and the parents of this city should see to it that the enrollment of this school is increased. The legislature in Ohio and Illinois have defeated the attempt at Jim Crow legislation. Mark, you, these are democratic states, too. The Oklahoma legislature is riding rough shod over the governor's veto. At last Oklahoma has a bunch of "Rough Riders." The Tulsa Star has a higher and nobler purpose in view then entering into foolish controversies with other papers. The mission of a colored newspaper is a great one and full of abnegation. Others may find fault with us and abuse us but in our humble way we shall try to hew to the line. To The American; So far as we know no one will depend on the Tulsa tSar as a ladder to the United tSates Senate or any other public office; therefore the warning of our worthy contemporary was both untimely and unkindly. We admit the Tulsa Star is a frail structure, but when it comes to laddering candidates into office, somewhere in the isles of political oblivion there can be found a number of disappointed and dissipated excandidates who would certify that the famous American is equal to and even surpasses the Tulsa Star in this kind of frailty. There are half a dozen or more religious denominations among the colored people of this country and they all are working for a common good, with a common goal in view. Everybody concedes each individual the right to affiliate himself with the church of his choice and nobody criticises his choice once it is made. But let a colored man identify himself with the Democratic or Bull Moose party and advocate political diversity among colored people for the best good of the race and he finds himself bitterly denounced by a certain class of people both white and black who are laboring under the erroneous idea that all black men should be Republicans. Why not say all colored men should be Baptists or Methodists or any other denomination? This is the age of political awakening. The sins of the Republican party will find it out. RESPONSIBILITY OF THE LEGISLATURE. The present extra session of the legislature has a great public responsibility resting upon its shoulders and the ever-watchful public is anxiously awaiting a faithful discharge on the part of every single representative of his full duty. The public has long ago felt the urgent need of a reformatory or reform school for the colored youthful violators of the law, as well as other public improvements and the voters who believe in law and order, who want their homes and families protected from the ravages of black criminals as well as white ones who believe in absolute justice and fair play to all, these voters will have an accounting with each representative who fails in his duty in this hour of public need. The ultimatum from the Postmaster General to all applicants is "efficiency, not politics." All appointments will be made solely on merit. This will put the quietus on a number of poor, ignorant negroes of the Jim Noble type who are seeking responsible offices at the hands of the new administration. To place a man of this kind in charge of a postoffice would be an outrage to any respectable community and an injustice to the man himself. The demands for this age is intelligence and efficiency. The colored business men of this city are a fine lot of race men and their patrons are all true race loving people, hence the remarkable success of our business men. There are no people on earth who love and appreciate race enterprise more than the colored --- 1 RICH WINES FOR ROYALTY Of Design They Are Made So Good as to Spoll Sale of Other Kinds and Grades. In the thriteenth and fourteenth centuries in Paris the wine of Montmartre was as celebrated and as popular with connoisseurs as Chateau Yquem is today, and the dingy Rue de la Goutte d'Or, now the resort of the Apache, takes its name from the Montmartre wine of the best quality. In fact, this particular vintage was so renowned that it was the custom for Paris to present four casks of it to the king of France on each anniversary of his coronation. In 1214 an international wine exhibition was held in Paris, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy and France sent their best vintages. The reigning king, Philippe Auguste, presided himself over the judging committee, and after a fair and exhaustive test the jury declared the wine of Cyprus to be king of the wines, the Malaga was preclaimed viceroy, and the Goutte d'Or vintage was one of the three dukes, the others being the Malvoisie and the Alicante. It was this very success of the wine of Paris which worked its downfall. Those who had hitherto cultivated other crops decided to grow nothing but wines in future, and planted them indiscriminately, without regard to the nature of the soil. The result was a gradual degeneration in the quality of the wines, and with their lost reputation the cultivation of the vine was finally abandoned altogether.—San Francisco Argonaut. ROASTED HER.

Does the fly visit patients sick with consumption, typhoid fever and cholera infantum? He does, and he may call on you next, carrying the infection of these diseases. What diseases does the fly carry? Typhoid fever, consumption, diarrheal diseases, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and, in fact, any communicable disease. AN INSTANCE.

RIOT. Bv A. W. MACY. Napoleon was not the only great man born on the island of Corsica. Pasquale de Paillou, one of the great patriots of history, was a Corsican. For more than two and a half centuries Corsica had been under the control of the Genoese. In 1755, under the leadership of Paillou, she threw off the Genoan yoke. For fourteen years thereafter Paillou administered the affairs of the island, and did it wisely and well. He brought about many reforms, and encouraged commerce and the arts. In 1769, having "purchased" the island from the Genoese, France landed an army of 22,000 soldiers. Paillou with a few thousand Corsicans met them boldly, but was badly defeated. With his little army reduced to 837 men and surrounded by 4,000 French, he cut his way out and escaped to England. The French conquered the island, but at a cost of more than 10,000 men, nearly half of whom were killed. Paillou remained in England twenty years. At the outbreak of the French Revolution he returned to Corsica and became military governor. He soon broke with the French, however, and returned to England, where he died in 1807. Eighty years afterward his ashes were removed to Corsica and entombed with great honors. Lamarentine the eminent French writer, said "Corsica remains still in the place of a mere province, but Paillou assumes his place among the ranks of great men." (Copyright, 1911, by Joseph B. Bowies.) LOCAL DOTS Mrs. M. M. Robinson and Mrs. Billings gave a twin Birthday Party on the evening of 21st. Several courses were served, & all present seem to have enjoyed themselves to the highest.
