350 THE CRISIS POLITICS W.G. ALEXANDER, a colored physician of Orange, N.J., in a run for Republican nomination to the Assembly, led in the Second Ward of Newark, tied for first place in the Sixth Ward, ran second in the Fourteenth Ward and won over his colleagues in Orange. He gained the nomination. SOCIAL PROGRESS The office of the Colored Men's Department of the International Committee of the Y.M.C.A. has been moved from Washington, D.C., to General Headquarters in New York City, at 347 Madison Avenue. Chairman R.R. Church has been notified that $3,500 has been raised by longshoremen, through President Thomas P. Woodland, for the Lincoln League of America. Nearly $6,000 has been raised toward the $50,000, with which to continue the operation of Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa. Heretofore, this institution has received an appropriation of $22,000 every two years from the State. Recently the State denied this aid, in an effort to oust Dr. N.F. Mossell, the Negro founder and president of the institution. The Salvation Army of Philadelphia this year included colored children in its annual kiddies' outing. Fifty colored children from South Philadelphia were guests for seven days at the Fresh Air Farm. THE Anti-Saloon League of America plans a home missionary department, including work among Negroes. Lieutenant Paul P. Wigington, a Negro, has won the appointment of Fire Prevention Inspector in the State of Minnesota, after having served in the Department of Public Safety in St. Paul, and for three years with the Columbia Fire Underwriters of Omaha, Neb. Letters threatening his life have come to Rev. J.G. Robinson of Chattanooga, Tenn., for saying, in part, in a protest to President Wilson that: "Before the Negroes of the country would again submit to many of the injustices which we have suffered, the white men will have to kill more of them than the combined number of soldiers that were slain in the great world war." The letters are mostly from Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee and Utah. Rev. Robinson, whose only son was a Lieutenant in the recent war, now states: "If I am to be mistreated and mobbed, before I will submit, I will be killed, because of that. If 'Kuklux' want to kill me when I return home, I will gladly die, and feel that no man ever died more gloriously." NEGROES of Dougherty County, GA., now return property for taxation valued at nearly three-quarters of a million dollars; the returns by the Negro race increased seven and one-half per cent last year, whereas the returns of white tax payers increased but two and one-third per cent. The first prize in an advertising contest in Phoenix, Ariz., conducted by a local automobile firm, was won by Mr. A.R. Smith, a Negro, and editor of the Phoenix Tribune. In Ohio, the Columbus Citizens' Law and Order League has been organized by Negroes, as a means of preventing the possibility of race riots from any action on their part, through instruction on the advantages of being law abiding citizens. PERSONAL JOSEPH GRAVES, a Negro of Maryville, Mo., is dead, at the age of eighty. He had accumulated considerable wealth, owning 132 acres of land, valued at $150 per acre. Charlton H. Tandy, a Negro Republican leader of St. Louis, Mo., is dead, at the age of eighty-two. It was largely through his efforts that the measure providing for Lincoln Institute, the State college for Negroes, passed the Legislature. During his last few years Mr. Tandy was Custodian of Old Records at the Court House. During her stay in New York, Mrs. C.D.B. King, wife of the President-elect of Liberia, was entertained at breakfast by Mrs. James L. Curtis, widow of James L. Curtis, former Minister to Liberia. Charles A. Dorsey, a Negro in Philadelphia, Pa., has celebrated the forty-second anniversary of his employment at the Union League Club. He was born a slave in Queen Ann County, Md., and is seventy-two years old. MUSIC AND ART AT an organ recital in Kountze Memorial Church, Omaha, Neb., Clarence Eddy rendered among his numbers Dett's "Mammy," which "met with such decided approval that it was repeated by request in the evening." Earl Camiliere, conductor of the chorus which has been rendering concerts in the Adolph Lewisohn Stadium, New York City, is organizing a singing unit among the colored people of Harlem. Meta Warrick Fuller, the Negro sculptress of Massachusetts, has completed a panel for the new colored Y.M.C.A. in Atlanta, Ga. The panel represents a colored youth, rising from a crouching position in response to the urge of a spirit pointing to the light, the rising sun. At the National American Music Festival, Lockport, N.Y., C. Mae Fierson, a Negro soprano, was a soloist. She presented old southern songs and Negro melodies, exhibiting "an excellent and well-trained voice." The Music News, a musical journal of Chicago, says of Marian Anderson, of Philadelphia: "The last vocal number was given by a young contralto, who put her big voice into the well-known "Adieu, Forests," by Tschaikowsky, and gave an impressive rendering. She has unlimited possibilities, vocally." "An American Idyl," by Godowsky, is a late novelty written, as the reviewers state, "in syncopated harmonies, like those in Burleigh's Negro Spirituals."
