TOSCANINI PROVES
CARUSO'S EQUAL AS

An interesting commentary on the
development Of Atlanta's musical ear
is the fact that Conductor Toscanini
is proving as big a drawing card as
Caruso or any Of the other famous
singers for the coming season Of Net
ropolitan opera. In addition to the
many mail orders for season reserva-
tons and others made personally at
the two music stores, the association
is receiving hundreds Of inquiries as 20
what operas Toscanini will conduct.
Toscanini, the greatest conductor ia
the world, probably the greatest there

Quoted in Atlanta year before last. The

Atlanta and other Southern lovers Of
music have heard him since from time
to time in New York. and the an

Otto Thum, City Official, Dis
courages Negroes by Injecting
Color Question at Trade School

Negro race in America did
not attain to its present con-
dition through ANY HELP
of the LABOR UNIONS, but
in spite Of them. and thus far
whatever the conditions have
been, the Negro has measured
up to them. The white man
can set no standard to which
we will not measure. When
the demand came to acquire
property, we bought it; char
acter, we attained it; educa =
ton, we got that also. SO If
these things have been ac-
quired without the unions,
nothing Mr.. Thum can say
can hinder our success.
There are houses to be
built and thoughts to be prin-
ted for ten million Negroes,so
why should Mr.. Thum (b) wor-
ry and grow thin!!
We want these boys who
have received diplomas to
make good" live up to your
opportunities. The state is
expecting a return for the
money invested in your edu-
cation and the race believes
that you will be strong post
in its grogress toward perfect
citizenship. s. 's1 = :. 's-'''''''''
Complaints have been re-
ceived at this Office, that the
clerks in the treasurers Office
under Mr.. Clare Pitcher, the
democrat, have been dilatory
in waiting upon Negro tax
payers who come to pay their
taxes. They have been made
to wait until the white persons
are served first. O, that some

Wilson's Campaign Assur-
ances Disregarded.

Ralph w. Tyler, former audi

today attacked the Wilson

its proposed policy of segre-
cation of the white and col
ored races in the Departments
at Washington. Alleging that
John Shelton Williams, Assis-
tant Secretary of the Treas
ury, had already inaugurated
such policy in the Treasury
Department, and intimating
that self-respecting Negroes
in that Department feel the
action deeply. Tyler said:
The attitude of the Wilson
Administration A toward my
race is very much like the at
titude of big boy who is al
ways picking on the boy
smaller than himself, but who
is afraid to touch the boy of
his own size. Mr.. Williams
and his superiors would not
have dared to segregate the
Italians, Jews, or even the
Japanese, who may be in the
Government service. This in
suit offered to any other race
would have provoked sturdy
opposition and dire results if
executed in spite of protests
against it.
During the last campaign,
President Wilson and his
political managers we're quite
solicitious about the Negro
vote. They had Bishop Wal
tiers located in New York try
ing to secure the Negro vote
for Wilson, and they had the
Rev. ]. Milton Waldron, with
headquarters in Washington,
dispensing large sum in an
attempt to capture the Negro
vote.
ut appears that if the Ne
gro was important enough for
Mr.. WILSON and his commit
tee to try to secure his vote,
he ought to be important
enough to get a fair deal at
the hands of the men who
sought his vote. And MIR.
Wilson writing to a Presby-
terian minister, DR.. Grimke
shortly after his election, as
sured the Negro that he
would have nothing to regret

he was to put as much Chris

Naming Patterson

Washington, July 3l.---An undisputed high

"There is every indication that A. E. Pattef-

President Wilson Register Of the Treasury, will
never draw the salary attached to that office.
The Southern Democratic Senators are bitterly
opposed to his confirmation and will not yield,
and the Northern Democta tatic Senators are In
different towards him. Every indication also
points to the fact that the domination was never
made in good faith. Stung by the severe cnti<

Wilson was forced to make the appointment Of
Patterson to save his face At the same time
he had been previously informed that the South,

was practically no chance Of confirmation. And

the nomination be confirmed, the belief being
general here that he does not desire it to be
confirmed. In past years when the nomination

own race. This is because, first, Patterson
comes from State in which the Democrats
have disfranchised the race, and secondly, be-
cause Patterson is seeking the office in the face
of contemplate segregation order now in
force in the Treasury Department executed un-

GERMANS IN STEAMER WAR

iamJurg Sept. lG.--The passen-

American and the North German
Lloyd steamship companies which
started a few weeks ago took new
turn today when the Hamburg
American line iuaugurated fort
nightly storage service between
Hamburg aud and Baltimore. Here
tofore the Baltimore service has
been left to the North German
Lloyd, but the latter company
initiated a service to Boston, which
the Hamburg Au.hrican considered
an infringement, hence the present
war.
In a statement the North German
Lloyd company points out that the
Boston traffic had attained such
proportions that a service 10 that
port had long been under considera-
tion and had been definitely decided
upon last January.
The HamburgAmerican company
hints at further war measures.
