BISHOP TURNER TALKS
HIS EMIGRATION VIEWS.
Negro Leader Makes Speech at the
Chicago Conference.


Chicago Conference.
Chicago, May 6.-"I am unwilling to
sing America until this country is
what 1t claims to be, Sweet land of
liberty" A." declared Bishop H. NJ. Tur-
ner of Atlanta, Ga, at to-night's ses-
sion of the African Methodist Episco-
pal Conference.
"'rhe negro in SCIENCE" was the sub
ject of the address delivered by Bishop
Turner, which caused him to take up
every phase of the negro question in
this country and led him to say that
this was not the negro's home, but on
the contrary that God had allowed the
negro to come to this country, to be
enslaved in order that he could be
trained and go back to his native land
and make it what it should be. In
concluding his address, Bishop Turner
saidg
1.-THE Supreme Court of the United
States is against us. We have good
friends in this country, yet they are
comparatively few, and the only thing
left for us to do is to leave. Let
us be men; let us go where we can
be men. The negro is here. Some
declare that he is here to stay, but
doubt that very much unless he is to
stay under the ground"

600 spectators lined the board walk and
cheered the pageant of infantry as it
tOddled or was trundled along. The
festivities concluded with the custom

good horse serves double purpose.

play has been largely upon three or
four horses. Up to date the majority
Of heavily backed horses in such races
as have described have been returned

"And the prospects are that betting
men will continue to own the best
horses. Take the recent Haggin sale
Of yearlings. There could be nothing
better to demonstrate what say than
this sale. Who were the principal buy
ers? Men who bet and bet heavily on
their horses. You hear people criticise
bookmakers and talk about the enor-
nous percentage. They have the best

right down to 1t, you will find that year

are the owners OF the big stables and
