Twin City Star

DULUTH THE TWIN CITY STAR ST.PAUL LIFE AND WORK OF C. W. ALLEN Who Has Made His Way Up From the Bottom. Among the most progressive business men of western Alabama, and of the whole state for that matter, is Clarence W. Allen, whose picture we present in this issue. He was born in Mobile and received his early training in the public schools and at Emerson institute in his native city. He is one of those young men who have made their way up from the humble walks of life and become potent factors in the development of the financial and business life of the race. For more than ten years he was mall carrier in the postoffice at Mobile, Having invested much of his earnings during this period in real estate, he soon found it necessary to-resign his position to look after his business interests. Mr. Allen is the editor and publisher of the Mobile Weekly Press, which has a circulation of about 5,000, with a newspaper plant valued at $4,000. He is prominent among the secret societies of the state. He has been endowment secretary of the Masonic order of the state of Alabama for ten years and was elected at the last annual session by acclamation. This was indeed a high compliment to him when it is known that he handled for that society last year over $75,000 and paid to widows and orphans of members of the order about $70,000. He is a member of State Street A. M. E. Zlon church, a member of the state, district and county Republican executive committees and is connected with many movements for the elevation of the race in his city and state. Defective Page VOL I.

BUSY WITH MANY INTERESTS Former Letter Carrier Who Saved His Earnings, Caught Time by the Forelock, Engaged In Business and Is Meeting With Marked Success—Editor, Politician and Fraternity Man. CLARENCE W. ALLEN. The success of Mr. Allen has made it possible for him to help others and to serve the race in a substantial way. He employs regularly eighteen men and women in his business and pays them respectable wages. Indeed, the Negro who earns his money and invests it in a way that will give employment to Negro boys and girls as stenographers, bookkeepers and wage earners helps the race in a most substantial manner. ROOSEVELT CHALLENGED. Boston Editor Calls on Former President dent to Show His Colors. William Monroe Trotter, the well known agitator and editor of the Boston Guardian, has challenged ex-President Theodore Roosevelt to a joint debate on the question of equal civic rights for the Negro. It is as follows: To Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Oyster Bay. Dear Sir-At a meeting of the campaign committee of the National Political league held in Washington recently I publicly challenged you to show the courage on any day except when writing, disranchising and lynching Americans in the south or to publicly approve of the same. You failed to do either. The same meeting I challenged you to a joint debate and now send you the challenge in writing on your solution of the so called Negro problem as stated by the commission. I will take the affirmative of the proposition that your solution is fallacious and false, a violation of human nature, contrary to the history of the struggle against oppression and the drawing of the color line. I will meet you at any place in New York city suitable for a public debate on any day except election day on one week's notice. Waiting you will sincerely W. M.

MONTREAL NOTES UTOPIA CLUB'S NEW LOCATION 176 St. Antonie St. The Utopia Club of Montreal, Mr. Edward Durant, Pres., is now located in their new building. The appointments are modern, and furnishings very elaborate. Mgr. Durant has fitted up the Utopia Club at a great expense, and prides himself on having "the finest Negro Club room in America." Mr. Henry (Oney) Jackson, the Secretary is still "a fixture and a favorite" of the members and patrons. Mr. Willie Hunton, son of Mr. Geo. Hunton, the real estate and insurance broker of Montreal, will be married this week. Mr. Junius Webster, of the C. P. Ry. has been transferred to the Canadian district. He is greatly missed in Minneapolis. THE PULLMAN CO The Pullman Co., is as usual, in need of porters. Many of the old men stick because they are there, but it is the a "door-mat" position. The older "vets" are on the firing line and a Bullet from the General Office generally cuts them off from service and pension. Yet they pay 50 cents a night for station duty, and get "volunteers" to face hard work, humiliation, and death. THE C. P. RY. The C. P. Ry has proven to its porters that they give them more consideration than any other company. They provide stopping places at nearly all points along the line—and issue meal tickets to men in "dead head service". But a porter's lot is hard at times. What good is a meal ticket on a freight? NEGRO GIVEN $3,500 JOB. P. B. S. Pinchback, Once Governor of Louisiana, Goes to Cincinnati. Washington, D. C., Oct. 17—P. B. S. Pinchback, colored, at one time governor of Louisiana, has been appointed to a $3,500 position in the internal revenue service at Cincinnati, where he orformerly attended school. Pinchback at one time ran on the river and finally went to Louisiana, where he remained. At one election, in 1872, he was elected governor, representative and United States senator. He wanted to serve as senator, but the senate held him out for three years and finally refused to admit him. In the house he met a similar fate. He served as governor of his state, however, and became prominent on that account among the people of his race. ST. PAUL St. Paul Chapter No. 29 O. E.

Lewis, at present an assistant district attorney at Boston, is to be made an assistant attorney general of the United States. What duties will be assigned to the new assistant has not been decided. Lewis is a graduate of Amherst and Harvard and played on the Harvard football team as center rush. He enjoyed the reputation of being one of the best players in that position ever at the Cambridge university. ST. PAUL LOCAL NOTES. Mr. Charles Clark is in the Twin Cities visiting friends. Mr. Chas.

The reception took place at the home of the bride's parents on Marion Street, where a large number of the friends of the family gathered to celebrate the occasion. Mr. P.

Miss Minnie York is doing clerical work for the Elliott and Co.; Miss York is a very capable teacher and has been working at Tuskegee for the past few years. She will rest this winter in St. Paul. This reminds us that some think that here is an easy time teaching at Tuskegee, but nothing was ever more wrong. It calls for some excellent knowledge of things to hold a job in Tuskegee.

Pickens at the recent fall opening of the Lincoln Settlement association in Brooklyn. Mr. Pickens is a member of the faculty of Talladega college, in Alabama. His subject was "Grounds of Hope For the American Negro." Like most men of note who are doing educational work among our people, Professor Pickens lays much stress upon the education of the masses of the race as a stepping stone to future progress and usefulness. Having received his higher or academic education in the north and teaching, as he does, in a southern college, Professor Pickens' ideas of the kind of education needed to enable the race to overcome the many difficulties and the rank prejudices of other races are broad and enlightening. The speaker based his grounds for hope on the remarkable progress which the race has made since emerging from slavery. He cited facts which showed what the race has accomplished in education, business, religious life and in the production of many able public men. The number of students in the high schools, academies, colleges and universities, to say nothing of the number in the rural districts and city schools, furnishes grounds of hope for the future well being of the race. The Settlement association begins its work this fall under very favorable circumstances and will soon begin a series of meetings in the interest of those for whom the association is intended. INDEPENDENTS LINE UP. Campaign Committee of Independent Political League Means Fight. At a joint meeting of the executive and campaign committees of the National Independent Political league recently held in Washington a program for active participation in the coming state and congressional campaign was adopted. According to the leaders, speakers will be sent into districts in which there are candidates who are unfriendly to the black race. The fight, they say, will be commenced at once. The preliminary program contemplates the support of the Democratic state ticket in New York and opposition to all candidates known to be pro-Roosevelt; support of the Democratic ticket in Ohio and of Republican candidates for the legislature who are friends of former Senator Foraker; support of the Democratic ticket in Massachusetts and opposition to those candidates for the legislature who are pledged to Senator Lodge. In New Jersey the Democratic senators say they will support the Democratic ticket, but will bend their efforts toward the election of a Republican legislature. In Delaware and West Virginia the league is to lend its aid to the Republican candidates. According to the committeemen, much of the organization's work will be undertaken with a view to administering a rebuke for the Brownsville affair. COURT OF APPEALS MAY SETTLE SCHOOL CASE Stephen Wall, Whose Child Was Discriminated Against, Continues Fight. The father of Isabel Wall, a little eight-year-old girl of Washington, declares that in case he loses his suit in the court of appeals of the District of Columbia to have his child admitted to the white schools he will take the matter to the United States supreme court. Little Isabel Wall is the daughter of Stephen Wall; an employee of the government printing office. A year ago she was dismissed from the Brookland public school on the ground that she was a Negro. The principal of the school who ordered her withdrawal was sustained by the superintendent of schools. This action was afterward approved by the board of education. Then it was that the father of the child took the matter to court and filed a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the board of education to admit the child to the Brookland school. The case delayed until the board of education could fix the racial status of the child. The board by a vote of 8 to 5 decided that "for school purposes" the Wall child is a Negro. It was again brought before the court, and the judge handed down his decision establishing the racial status of the child as a Negro. The case was then taken to the court of appeals of the District of Columbia, where it was argued quite recently. The decision of the judges is awaited with much interest. Pivitel Point in New York Politics. A prominent Texas editor in expatiating recently on the political outlook in New York this fall, says if the closeness of the New York vote gets the figures down to a margin where the colored vote can decide the contest the Negro voters will convince the country that they have had quite enough of Mr. Teddy.

THE TOTAL DEATH LIST IS 29 Blaze Started in Canada Crept Under: ground, Say Probers.—Dam- age Placed at Five Mil lion Dollars, St. Paul, Oct. 27.--The Canadian Northern rallway 1s held responsible for the fire which destroyed Baudette, in a report made to General C. C. An- drows, forestry commissioner, by Geo. Chapin of St. Paul and Frank Curtis of Roosevelt, who have been investl- gating the origin of the forest fires in ‘Minnesota for the last two weeks. ‘The report says there is sufficient evidence to show that a fire was set by the railroad on the Canadian side during the latter part of July. This fire worked south to the North branch of Baudette river and north to Rainy river, covering about eight square miles, It burned up to the west side of Baudette and lay smouldering until Oct. 7, when it was fanned by a ter: rifle wind and led to the disaster. About the same time a fire was set on the right of way just east of the Winter Road river. This fire worked east three miles and about two miles back on each side of the track, where it connected with the fire which was started on the Baudette side of the river. Fires Smoulder in Moss. ‘This fire also lay smouldering in the moss, gradually eating into the root of the timber and felling it, mak- Ing conditions favorable tor another fire. Four other fires also were start: ed in this vicinity in August, covering from one to eight square miles. These fires were also fanned Into life Oct. 7 and resulted in the terrible disaster. ‘The report says the country through which the fire traveled is wild and thinly settled. It has been lumbered and slashed extensively for the last six years, and the accumulation of slashing was lying on the ground. In ordinary years it Is very wet, making ft impossible for a fire to travel any great distance. As a result a thiek growth of moss covered the accumu: lation of longdecaying vegetation, ‘This year the country experienced a drought. The swamp and moss be- came dry, and as a result the ground formed a’ peat, holding the fire below the surface and keeping it smoulder- ing during the entire summer. The report said that if there had been no slashings on the ground the fires could have been choked, Prosecutions Are Pending. Eight, prosecutions against the Cana- dian Northern railway for allowing combustible material on the right of ‘way are now pending in the district court of Beltram{ county. The railroad is fighting the constitutionality of the law. If the state wins In these cases, the forestry department plans to bring action against the Canadian Northern for sixteen other fires alleged to have been set since July. ‘The loss from the recent fires is es. timated at about $5,000,000 by the agents of the forestry commission, Ot this, property valued at $1,700,000 was destroyed in the towns. ‘The exact number of dead Is placed at 29. This Is below the last reports sent from Baudette which placed thg loss of life at 34. The list includes two families with seven children each, and one family with three children. ‘Thero were five lumbermen and one girl, Miss Kate Jasmer, who also lost their lives. 800 Persons Homeless. i a esas ae In a report to the governor, General | Wood says there are 800 homeless families to be provided for. He has already arranged for the shipment of enough lumber to build 50 houses in the fire district. An administration building 1s nearly completed, from which all relief work will be carried fon. General Wood reports there ix great Jealousy between Baudette and Spooner and that the rellef committee will have to use great diplomacy in assisting these towns. Strike Called For Election.

Durment Acting ‘As Special Counsel—Famous Rate Cases to Go To ‘Supreme Court. the fight to maintain the validity of the Minnesota rate laws was taker when general and special exceptions of the state of Minnesota to the find ings of Judge Otis, special master in chancery in the rate cases, were filed with Jiidge Otis at St. Paul. ‘The general exceptions, contained in 33 closely typewritten pages, were pre pared by EB. T. Young, former attorney general. The special exceptions, of about the same length, were prepared and submitted by Edmund S. Durment. Both appeared as special counsel for the state in the preparation and trial of the case and in the exceptions filed acted for C. F. Staples, Ira B, Mills and Charles BE. Elmquist, members of the state railroad and warehouse commis sion, and for George T. Simpson, attor ney general. Case an Important One. Inasmuch as the case is one of vital importance to the people of Minne- sota, involving principles of state sov- erelgnty and the rights of the state to regulate and control the affairs of public service corporations, the state's attorneys have incorporated in their exceptions every material point affect- ing the merits of the case which may be the possible subject of contention in the supreme court of the United States, The reasons for each excep- tion are set forth at length, Direct issue is taken with Judge Otis’ rindings that the state exceeded its constitutional powers in prescrib- ing the contested rates because, as the master said, such rates. constitute direct interference with and impose a burden upon interstate commerce. ‘The state maintains that the constl- tution gives congress control over com- merce beginning in one state and end- ing in another and the interstate com- merce act provides for the federal regulation of transportation carried on between different states; that the laws involved apply by their terms only to intrastate business and do not over. lap and conflict with any federal laws. Although substantive law Is cited in support of the constitutionality of the Minnesota rate laws, expediency and public policy are also urged in that ‘@ judicial finding which cripples the commerce power of a state does not enlarge the commerce power of the nation, Judge's Method Criticized. General exception is entered to the method adopted by Judge Otis in fix: ing the valuation of the railroad prop- erty employed in the state. This 1s considered the most important feature of the Otis decision. After stating that the master ignored the original investment as a measure of the valua. tion upon which they are entitled to a return and also ignored the outstanding stocks and bonds of each company, which exceeded the actual investment, Mr. Young says: “He adopted the so-called cost of reproduction as the sole measure of the value of railroad property. ‘The plan followed by the master reduces rail road valuation to a mere exploit of the imagination. Under it the value of railroad property can be fixed at any figure which interested parties will swear they believe It to be worth, and if such a plan is upheld by the courts, railroads can make the public ay any rates they see fit to charge.” ‘The attention of the master 1s also called to the fact that the actions are brought by the stockholders and not the railroads and that a railroad stock- holder has no right in law to claim a return from the public on anything more than the face of his valid stock. At the suit of a stockholder the value found cannot, according to the state's attorneys, exceed the outstanding stocks and bonds, Another Exception Filed. Exception ib filed to Judge Otis’ apportionment of Interstate and intra- state freight and passenger business carried on railroad property strictly within the state. ‘This point is re- garded as of the utmost importance for ‘on the proper and Just apportionment of this business depends the property valuation which determines whether or not the rates in question In this case are confiscatory, as found by the mas- ter. The state objects to Judge Otis’ divi- sion of the value of railroad property between state and interstate business, doth passenger and freight.

He will make further recommendation ‘based upon the exceptions and another stay of 30 days will be allowed for the lawyers of both sides to submit further exceptions. The entire record in the case, including the evidence, findings of the master, the two sets of exceptions, the master’s findings on these exceptions and the additional ex ceptions, will then go to Judge San- bor of the United States circuit court. Judge Sanborn will set a time for hearing the arguments of counsel. The Tecommendations of Judge Otis on the exceptions filed will probably be filed within # week or ten days and in the order of business the arguments of law and fact will probably come up before Judge Sanborn early in December. The case will be appealed direct to the United States supreme court. SHAKEUP IN THE INDIAN OFFICE. N. J. Soro Transferred to Michigan— ~" Minnesota Left to F. 8. Brents.

Do you know its value? Are you willing to promiscuously pre- sent it to him? Consider carefully, and act accordingly! You should know its worth. They have distran- chised negroes in certain parts tor this reason,—that his vote was his de- fense. If properly exercised, this right which you hold, will place in power the men, who can help you, if tmey keep promises after election. ‘The days of reconstruction are past. ‘The negro is in his “Era o* Political ‘Sreedom.” Vcte for your personal in- terest, and you will vote for your race's welfare. This does not mean ‘a email aum of money,” but for the ‘gen who stand for the principles of ¢lght, Assert your individuality, re- gardiess of party. The negro has been the automatic property of the Re- publicans, without fair compensation, ‘and bas not given his support to Dem- ocrats, who have individually, helped his race, “Right of suffrage” is your only constitutional right. Be not yound to a party. The party of a few years ago may be different today. ‘The principles of yesterday are changed today. The candidate who stands for right and justice to all men, regardless of color or conditions, who knows the pollcles of Lincoin and Grant, and lives up to them. Who does not recite history, but promises to give to your people their share of consideration after election, is the man you should vote for. DO YOU KNOW HIM? ‘The Colored Republican delegation of St. Paul went to the County Com- mittee, and came away “pleased with the outlook.” That's saying a good deal, and we feel that they are “men who know.” Of course, everybody can vote at the coming election. No attention ‘was paid to registration. ‘Well, there are people paid to “get out the vote” also people paid to “get out and vote.” Over in Duluth they are saying something and doing something. They are trying to return Clarence B. Miller to Congress—They will. ‘There are too many leaders among our people at this time, and there was not a Negro candidate for office at the primaries. Giving political ‘meetings will never profit the race anything. Let the candidates do that. Enter in the race, and put some of your energy in your own effort. Those of our race, who are always campalgn- ing for some one else of the white race, will never assist their own brothers ‘The leaders know that a Negro should have been elected to the Legislature this year. Have the Campaign-managers for gotten that there Is a necessity of getting out the Negro vote. It is yet an uncertainty, although a known quantity, One political meeting in sight, and no literature circulated. Why should he be regarded as your political property? Why should you expect his support without asking him? Candidates for re-election hold “a Negro appointment” as credentials, by which they demand the entire vote. Or they have “personal representa- tives” who are interested in their campaign. There is no organizatjon, and score of colored campaign-mam- ‘agers, who instead of being inde pendent of all candidates, are de Pendent on all candidates. This ‘chaotic state was caused by the fact that those who are on the seats. of the mighty ignored the better ele- ment, and recognized the plots of the Ee cr PARTY EMANCIPATION. ‘The Negroes do not have to follow the regular nominee of the Republican party, because he sa republican. ‘They vote for the man with the right principles and purposes.

Because of the rigid enforcement of the rule re- lating to the enlistment of cadets the enrollment of cadets this year is in excess of that of previous years. ‘The officers are as follows: Major, Norman Ewing, Armstrong Manual’ Training school; adjutant, Preston Early, M Street high school. Captains of companies are: Hugh B. Bhipley and Charles M. Wilder, M Street high school; John R. Fearing, Wil Mam E. Davis, Thomas E. Jenkins and Clinton Wood, Armstrong Manual Training school.

BARNETT DODSON. Under the able and successful man- agement of G. Grant Williams, Mme. E, Ezalla Hackley, the noted soprano soloist, made her Ist public appear- ance as a concert artist at the Amer- tean Academy of Music, Philadelphia, ‘on Wednesday evening, Oct. 19, before an immense audience. ‘The event marked the beginning of a series of retiring recitals which Mme. Hackley will give. Previous plans for the tour were Interrupted by the ad- vent of Miss Mary Fitzhugh, the blind soprano girl, to whom Mme. Hackley has devoted much time. Upon the completion of her tour she will begin the development of plans to help young musicians and also for the improvement of musical conditions gen- erally among our people. ‘The occasion also marked the debut of Miss Mayme White as a planist. Miss White recelved her musical edu- cation at the Oberlin (0.) Conservatory of Music: She received a warm wei- come. ‘Other well known artists who assist- ed Mme. Hackley in the recital were: Harrison Emanuel, a favorite young violinist of Chicago; J. Thomas Butler, dramatic reader, Philadelphia; Miss Is abelle Tallaterro, who 1s one of Phila- delphia’s most recent young musicians. Miss Tallaferro made an enviable ree- ord for herself while a student at the New England Conservatory of Music. Clarence Cameron White, noted vio- Unist, and Mrs, Louise Alston Burleigh, reader, gave much enthusiasm to the ‘oceasion in the rendition of several fa- vorite selections. Mrs. Burleigh read from her own book of poems. Those reflecting childhood days reveal the genius of the author in a happy vein. FIGHT ON IN BALTIMORE. Attempt to Gegregate Colored Citizens Meets Stubborn Opposition. ‘The colored citizens turned out nobly at the city hall of Baltimore Monday night, Oct. 24, to protest against the unfair ordinance some whites are seeking to have become a law in order to keep the colored people confined to certain residential neighborhoods. ‘The bill confines the race to certain blocks occupied by a majority of col- ored people, but allows servants to re- side in tholr employers’ bomes, Stirring addresses of protest against the measure were delivered by the Revs, A. In Gaines, W. A. C. Hughes, W. EB Williams, G. R. Waller, Editor J. H. Murphy of the Afro-American Lediger and others.

OLDFIELD EASILY DEFEATS JOHNSON Autoist Wins Match Race With Pugilist, New York, Oct. 26.—The ambition of Jack Johnson, champion heavy welght pugilist, to annex other honors a9 a racing automobile driver receiveo a blight here at the bands of Barney Oldfield. Johnson showed to poor ad vantage in his new role, and Oldfield in one heat of their fivemile race at Sheepshead Bay toyed with the dig fighter. Only two heats were needed to settle the question of superiority. Following his victory Oldfield gave out this statement: “I raced Jack Johnson for neither money nor glory, but to eliminate from my profession an invader who would have had to be reckoned with sooner or later. If Jeffries had fought John- son five years ago, the white man would have won and after Jeffries re tired he would never have had to fight him again. If I had ignored Johnson for a year or so he would probably have gained much experience on the tracks, and bought high-powered cars, while I am not getting any better from day to day. I am glad if my victory over Johnson will have any effect on the ‘white man’s hope’ situation.” In the first heat Oldfield ran away from Johnson. He was quicker to get away and Jobnson’s car never showed ahead. At the finish Oldfield led by about a quarter of a mile. His time for the five miles was 4 minutes, 44 seconds. ‘The time of the second heat, 5:14 45, or :3045 slower than the first, tells the story of the heat. SEN. GEO. P. WILSON.
