Rise OF an Energetic Newspaper Corr
respondent In New York.
New York.-Cleveland G. Allen Of
this city is one Of the most energetic
newspaper correspondents Of the race
and is rapidly coming to the fore In
the field of Journalism. He has COW
cred some notable gatherings both for
the daily and weekly newspapers OF
this country and Canada. He was the
only newspaper man Of the race pres
ent at the great ecumenical Methodist
conference, held in the beautiful city
Of Toronto in 1911.
At Toronto Mr.. Allen represented the
interest Of the fifty Afro-American del
egates to that conference, represent
ing the various branches Of the Meth
odist church among them. He has
covered the conferences Of Bishops G.
w. Clinton and Alexander Walters of
the Zion church. Bishop Walters has
given him much encouragement in his
work, and his first trip was with Bish-
op Walters. Mr.. Allen has reported
the doings Of the race for the daily pa
pers Of Atlantic City, Buffalo, Yon-
kers, Patterson, N. j., and New York.
While in Buffalo he wrote for the
daily papers of that city a special fea-

ture article on the life and career Of
Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, one Of the most
noble women Of the race. Recently
Mr.. Allen came into national promi-
hence for his investigation into the
discrimination Of the United States
navy against colored men. In his in
vestigation he brought out that the COL
ored sailors were enlisted in the navy
only as mess attendants, were never
promoted above that rank and were
barred from the reading rooms Of the
ships.
His investigation disclosed how COL
ored men were forced to work longer
hours than the whites, were required
to report an hour earlier when of
shore leave, had to stand while eating
meals and that life was unbearable for
them while aboard ship. Mr.. Allen got
these startling conditions before the
secretary of the navy, who made an
inquiry into these conditions and prom
Used to remedy them.
The daily papers all over the country
took notice Of Mr.. Aliens charges, and
many Of them commented editorially
on the investigation. He is continuing
his Investigation and promises to re.
veal some further startling facts. Mr.
Allen has received praise from the
leading men and women Of the race
for revealing these revolving condi'
lions. Several months ago he got into
a controversy with leading New York
daily because he attacked the present
administrations attitude on the race
question. He is well known in New
York, where he is active in Y. M. c.
A. and church work. He Is member
Of st. Marks M. q. church. Mr.. Allen
was born in Greenville, 8. c., Of free
parents and was educated in the pub.

continued his studies at the De Witt
Clinton high school and the City col
lege here. Mr.. Allen will enter the
school Of journalism Of Columbia uni
versity this fall In further preparation
for his career as newspaper man.

EMANCIPATION EXPOSITION
TO OPEN MONDAY, SEPT. IS
Celebration In Philadelphia Will Have
Many Notable Features.

Philadelphia. officials Of the
emancipation exposition commission In
this city have announced Monday,
Sept. IS, as the date for opening the
exposition. The celebration should
have commenced Aug. 1S, but the
buildings were not finished in time. 1t
was the original intention Of the COM
mission to have the National Negro
Business league hold the first session
Of its fourteenth annual meeting In
one Of the exposition buildings.
The opening day Of the exposition
will be governors day, and the Hon.
John X. Tener, governor Of Pennsyl-
vania, will be the chief speaker, as 1t
was he who signed the bill legalizing
the assembly appropriation Of 5000
for the expense Of the celebration.
The governors Of New jersey and New
York have been invited to attend on
the opening day.
The emancipation sermon will be
preached by Bishop Levi J. Coppin OF
the A. M. r.. church on Sunday, Sept
IA. Among the leading features OF
the celebration will be the sociological
and religious conferences and the con
gress Of women. Some Of the orgam
cations which will take part are the
National Nurses association, the Ma
tional Medical association, the Bust
ness Clerks association and the Ma
tional Press association.
The eight buildings in which the ex
position will be held are the work OF
colored men. The contract for the
erection Of these buildings Is said to
be the largest ever awarded to mem
Der of the race in the north. The three
main structures are an administrative
building, an agricultural building and
a concert hall. The contractor Is W.
J. Robinson, and G. Henry Wilson, Jr.
Is the architect. The subcontractort
and foremen are all members Of the
race.
This in itself is a great exhibit Of the
ability of colored men not only to
build, but to manage, such as has new
err been seen in the city Of Philadel
phia or I'm the north. 1t Is quite nov
ell scene, and hundreds Of people have
focked to the grounds to see the me
chanics at work.

"EQUAL RIGHTS" LAW IN EFFECT
SEPT. I, 1918.

Designed To End Arbitrary Discrim-
ination In Places For Use Of Public.
New York.-The new equal rights"
statute, forbidding discrimination
against any person on account of race,
creed or color at any place of public
accommodation, went into effect on
Monday. A heavy fine or imprison-
ment or both is provided for viola
tons of the law.
Under the present law, such dis
elimination is a misdemeanor, but the
prizefighter barred from hotel, the
sailor barred from a public dance
hall or restaurant and the Negro who
cannot get drink at white" mans
saloon can only recover damages in
civil action on proof Of actual dam
|age sustained by him by reason Of
such discrimination.
Far More Sweeping.
But the new statute is far more
sweeping.
The statute makes any person who
violates any of it's provisions liable to
a penalty of not less than 500 nor
more than $500, to be recovered by the
person aggrieved thereby; and in ad-
dition to being compelled to pay dam
ages to any person Disseminated
against, the keeper of a place of pub
lie accommodation, found guilty of
such discrimination will further be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and
will be fined not less than 500 nor
more than $500, or shall be imprisoned
not less than 80 days nor more than
80 days, or both.
The keeper of any place of public
accommodation is also forbidden to
advertise in any way that persons be-
longing to any particular race, creed
or color are not wanted or will not
be accommodated.
Can't Advertise 1t.
However, it was the opinion of many
hotel men that the new statute would
no more do away with such discrim-
ination as existed than the old statute
did.
