Ih2 SSEEfE}l!eatre

I are visible on all sides, and a score
OF men hurrying hither and thither
carrying out the instructions of the
master mechanic give the place the
semblance of a manufacturing plant
rather than place of amusement. Out
of all this chaos there will come order
of that character which is only gained
through the services of a disciplined
and experienced corps of mechanics
and electricians especially engaged
for this work.
There are several features in con-
nection with the mechanical and cleo
trical effects used in making every
scene of Ben Hur'' realistic in the
highest degree which reserve special
comment. The most important of
these is the mechanism of the chariot
race scene, both in the actual running
of the race and the representation of
the applauding populace. The pano-
ramic view given at the rear of the
stage during the race is so realistic
ally shown that il actually appears as
if the chariots were going at terrific
speed. The panorama, which is de-
picted on only 5000 square feet of
canvas. would appear to be endless,
d
feet in length. II runs in the form
of an endless belt. turning at each end
on immense cylinders and travelling at
the rate of 1,2O0 feet minute. Ball
bearings are used in order to make
the cylinders revolve noiselessly. How
to produce on the stage Roman
chariot race in which three contest
ants, each driving four horses, all
eagerly striving against one another,
participate, is a mechanical problem
that has puzzled people all over the
country when they witness the per-
Torrance of ben Hur." Twelve spir-
tied horses galloping at full speed in
view of the audience are difficult to
handle, and when the race is pro-
longed for over a minute no small de-
gree of mechanical ingenuity is neces-
sary TO make it a success. This scene
has contributed greatly to the popu-
larity OF ben Hur."

Wife of Senator La Toilette Among
Chief Speakers Against Segregation.

the National Association For the Ad-
vancement of Colored People. held in
the United Charities building Monday.
Jan. >. was attended by over 1000
delegates from almost every section of
the country. The fact that such II
country wide protest has been going
on against race segregation in the
government service in Washington
seemed to give vigor and "renter firm
ness to the VAST throIIg which attend
ed every session
This association. which is the same
that recently conducted an inveStiga-
ton on segregation in government de
partmentS in Washington. has been
the most active advocate of the rights
of our people and has perfected an or
ganiZaton which reaches important
cities throughout the country. from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
Its president is Moortield Storey. a
distinguished Boston lawyer. and
among its directors are such well

AFFAIRS IN ME1HoDlsM.
Publication Board Reinstates Editor
Wright and Manager Lowe.

Wright and Manager Lowe
The publication board of the African
Methodist Episcopal church has rein
stated DR.. X. L. Wright and Rev. ]. l.
Lowe. editor Of the Christian Recorder
and manager of the Book Concern. re-
spectively. These two officials were
dismissed by the board Oct. % as the
result of charges made by Editor
Wright concerning the Rev Mr.
loves integrity. A period of sixty
days was given the two deposed Off
cials to wind up their affairs before
their successors were appointed The
headquarters Of the Book Concern are
at 631 Pine street. Philadelphia.
Public sentiment in and out Of the
denomination in the main was much
opposed to the decision Of the board at
its meeting in October Dr. Wright
and Rev Mr.. Lowe have not had over
much to say about the matter in
public way. but they settled the trou-
BILE between themselves so that when
the board met Dec. 23 to name Il new
editor and II manager for the Book
Concern. it was found that the bishops
were WHILE " ltlASIdLe Tie TWO men
if such We're favorable to the members
of the publication board. This sug-
gestion met the boards approval in
view of the agreement reached be-
tween the two contend1ng parties.
therefore the board voted to reinState
Editor Wright and the Rev. j. l. Lowe
to their former positions.
The following from the Southwestern
Christian Advocate and the Southern
Christian Advocate shows the drift of
sentiment against the boards first de-
ciSion:
ut seems as though the publication
board of the African Methodist Epis
copal church has made II serious blum
der in its dismissal Of Editor Wright
We have read every word of the in
terview given out by Bishop Evans
Tyree. president of the publication
board. and we are more certain now
than ever before that DR.. Wright had
done nothing worthy of dismissal
"Certainly not in the manner he was
dismissed. In this day of wicked
and perverSe generation. Il man who
denounces the sin of those in higher
authority in the church should be en-
coura=ed rather than suppressed If
Daniel Payne had been living the At
rican Methodist church would have
been stirred from center to circumfer-
ence because Of his attack upon the
sin of colleague.
The sentiment of the press generally
is against the publication board. The
Southern Christian Recorder of the
African Methodist church in the south
attacks the action. This is what it
says: 1t has been the custom with all
well regulated bodies To call extra ses-
siOns when conditions required such.
The publication board of the A. NJ. +.
church has made Il serious blunder
There is no remedy within the legal
power of the board but to meet in an
other session and reconsider its sction
in nullifying the work of the general
conference.
Nothing less will satisfy the con-
nection and save much trouble. The
church is growing restless and will
not stand much longer for unlawful
bossism The demand is that every
body must respect and obey the laws
of the A. NJ. f. connection.

Noted White Mon Join Race Journal,

Washington.-The recent newspaper
reports that the Democrats had relax
ed in their policy of segregating color
ed employees at Washington shows
that the widespread criticism OF the
effort has had the desired effect. No
only did race journals join in the cam
paign against segregation. but repre-
sentative journals like the New YorI
Evening Post, the Springfield Repub
ncan. the Boston Advertiser, the Chi
cago Record Herald. the Chicago Trib
une. the Christian Science Monitor and
the Congregationalist entered emphatic
protest.
The New York Age, the Boston
Guardian. the Chicago Defender. the
Afro American Ledger. the Amster
dam News. the Freeman and the
Crisis We're among the race publica
tions that exposed the scheme.
The utterances OF such white men as
Senator Clapp. Moortield Storey, Os
wald Garrison Willard and j. E. Spin
garn also had a telling effect
1t plust be said. however, that color
ed men and women are themselves
largely responsible for the turning on
of the light. One colored man here
who prefers that his name be not
made public. enlisted several leading
dailies in fighting the scheme.
j. C. Napier. who gave up his posi-
ton as register of the treasury rather
than submit to segregation, is entitled
to praise for focusing attention on the
un-American plan. Bishop Walters,
whose attitude was grossly misrepre-
sented. was also an insistent and con
sistent foe of segregation.
In his talks with President Wilson
and other Democratic leaders here he
always voiced his disapproval of the
plan. He declared that Oswald Garri-
son Willard was grossly misinformed
when he charged that he 0he bishop,
favored segregation. After the bishop
wrote Mr.. Willard that he was greatly
in error and that President Wilson.
Secretary McAdoo and others would
back him up in this statement Mr.. VII
lard wrote the bishop as follows:
I'm regard to the recent happening
at Washington l stated to the audience
that it had been said to me by high au-
tbority that bishop had favored segre-
CATION. that l should not mention his
name because he had denied it and
that would not make an issue be
tween him. a president of the United
States arM bishop. Since you wrote
me that you have been informed by
the White House and the treasury de
partmtnt that no such statement was
made to me there is nothing left for
me to do but to infer that l was mis-
informed or misunderstood and to eN-
press my regret to you that ssch ap
pears to have been the case"
Though the administration is report
ed to have changed its attitude regard
ing segregation. there has been no pub
lie announcement Of that fact. w.
Monroe Trotter and others, who placed
monster protest into the hands Of
the president. are. it is said. still await

other departments.
