EDUCATOR TELLS
OF NEGRO'S NEEDS
Booker T. Washington Delivers
Two Addresses in the
Oranges.

DIR. Booker T. Washington, the negro
educator, made two addresses in the
Oranges last night, the first at the
First Presbyterian Church. Orange,
and the other at Ashland School,
East Orange, where he spoke before
the members of the East Orange So
cial Settlement and the lakewood
avenue branch of the Orange Y. M.
C. A.
His address in Orange was in ad-
vocacy of the work of the Children S
Aid and Protective Society of the Or
anges. The activities of such or
CARNATIONS, he said, were largely re-
sponsible for the awakening of the
public conscience, and that children
are being given a better opportunity
than ever before in the worlds his
tory.
The child, the speaker said, ought
to have as much as possible, the sur
roundings of a rural life, to get near
the soil, to keep their feet upon the
earth
All through the south the negroes
take care of the dependent children
of their race, and he said that one
of the great helps in the uplift of his
people was the abolition of the pub
lie barroom, which would soon be a
positive fact in the south.
1.-THE United States government"
the speaker said, lis spending ten or
twelve millions of dollars for the up
keep of the Indians, and I will not
say one word against the wisdom of
the action; but not one penny has
been contributed by the national gov
eminent for the negro since the days
of the reconstruction"
a In the South, DIR. Washington said,
the negro race, not fifty years old
has worked out many problems for
its uplift.
He was introduced by Rev. Walter
Reid Hunt, president of the Childrens
Aid and Protective Society, who spoke
of the need of money to carry on the
work which last year involved the
turning over to families the sum of
$1,000 taken from neglectful hus-
bands.
W. P. BurrelI, superintendent of
the East Orange Social Settlement,
presided at the meeting in East Or
ange, and while waiting for the
speakers a program was given,
of Scripture les
son by Rev. G. w. Kruger, Invocation

by George Delk. vocal solos by Miss
Pinkie Anderson. readings by Miss
Cora Davis, piano selections by Miss

Image of Biz Biz Musical
Comedy, to Be Published

Members of the Paint and Powder
Club, of the Oranges, are congratu-
lating S. V. B. Brewster and George
d. Clews on having been successful
in publishing the Image of Biz Biz, :"
their musical comedy. 1t is the in
tention to push and exploit the sale
of this play for amateur works. The
full musical score will be ready for
the performance to be given Febru-
airy 10. at Columbus Hall, Orange, for
the benefit of the South Orange So
ciety for Lending Comforts to the
Sick.
1.-THE Image of Biz Biz" was first
given by the Paint and Powder Club
in 1912. At that time all the parts
were taken by young men. When the
club decided last year to admit girls
in the cast and chorus they picked
out the Image of Biz Biz" as the
play to be presented. The authors i'm
mediately got to work and changed
the play somewhat, making it more
suitable for the mixed cast and
chorus, and added several snappy
musical numbers to the score. It was
presented two nights last December,
making hit, and it was through the
good reports that a publishing firm
heard of the show that they got in
touch with the authors and decided to
publish it.

positive he accomplished the feat, but
Recorder Francis A. Mott, jr., was not
sure he did, and left the question of
whether Edward Richardson, a negro
of Spring street. East Orange, Is
guilty of stealing the bird for the
grand jury to determine.
Questioned closely by Recorder Mott
and former City Counsel William A.
Lord of Orange. attorney for Rich
ardson, regarding how he could iden-
tify the rooster Mr.. Plumbly recalled
that during the recent cold snap the
bird dipped its head in a pan of water
with the result that its gills became
frozen. The frozen gills, Mr.. Plumbly
asserted. were his main means OF
proving his ownership.

has been engaged in raising birds

TASK OF DECIDING BOOSTERS OWNERSHIP
TOO DIFFICULT FOR EAST ORANGE JUDGE

the bird was too great for him to
undertake and he Immediately told
Recorder Mott he could not swear as
to whether the rooster was the one
he sold to the accused.
The rooster and four others were
in a box in the courtroom during
Richardson's arraignment, and they
apparently were deeply interested in
the proceedings, as they kept very
quiet during the two hours they were
there The rooster in the case was
not taken from the box.
The complainant declared that
Richardson had been seen in the
neighborhood of his hennery a few
nights before the rooster disappeared,
and he added this strengthened his
belief that the negro did not come
into possession of the bird honestly.
Also, Mr.. Plumbly said, Richardson
confided to him he was an admirer
Of the bird.
The defendant vehemently denied
he purloined the rooster, and he had
witnesses who said they were with
him when he bought it from Mr..
Dean. He was paroled for the grand
Jury in the custody of his lawyer.
