Baseball Gossip OF
The Hot Stove Lea8ue

Joe McGinnity's incorporation
scheme for the 1915 Tiger team
sounds good. The fans only want
to know one thing-is Joe going
to run the team next year, per-
sonally?
McGinnity has lost most of his
popularity in Tacoma. He pitches
nicely, and there would be no OBJ
lection to his remaining on the
Tiger staff. But he proved last
year that he was not a good ex-
ecutive, and the players showed
their feeling towards him by lay
ing down.
The financing of the Tigers re-
solves itself into one proposition
in the eyes of most of the fans
Of Tacoma. If McGinnity will act
as stakeholder and pitcher, but
will not try to run things in his

Twenty-Five thousand hockey

COLONEL ALLENsWoRTH MEETS
y TRAGIC DEATH.

Lieut.. Colonel Allen Allensworth is
gone, his life virtually snatched away
by the crushing impact of a heavy
motorcycle by which he was fatally
injured Sunday. The frightful acci-
dent that cost this noted life occurred
at Monrovia, Cal, about 10 a. m. Sun
day morning. He had just stepped
| from the train and was proceeding to
church at which he was to speak,
Using the paved roadbed of Myrtle
avenue, a siXty-foot boulevard, for
better walking than the mere pathway
afforded, he was overtaken and struck
down by a motorcycle ridden by two
young caucasians. The bruised and
bleeding form was rushed to the hos
pital at Monrovia where death came
after two dalys of unconsciousness.
Word reached Los Angeles and rel
atives hastened to the bedside. Mrs.
Allensworth hurrying from Aliens
worth by fastest train. Announce
ment of the Colonel's sad misfortune
was made at different churches and
the whole community seemed stunned
by the news.
At the coroner's inquest held Tues
day afternoon at Monrovia, e. s.
White, who drove the motorcycle, and
w. e. Ray, who rode with him, were
closely examined as were other wit
nesses also. Both men swore that the
machine was running only about II
to ii miles per hour and that warning
was given Col. Allensworth when $50
feet away They claimed that he
looked back, ahen walked on and that
he became excited as they were pass
ing and in lodging to and fro to pre-
vent being struck, ran into the ma
chine, which was not stopped for $50
feet after striking the Colonel. Sharp
questioning and direct expressions
afterward showed that many believed
the motorcycle must have been going
at high speed, and that Colonel AL
lensworth probably had little oppor-
tunity to save himself. The coroner's
jury returned an open verdict, with
out fixing any responsibility. Follow
ing the inquest, the remains were re-
moved to the parlors of A. ]. Roberts
& Son of this city.
, Colonel Allensworth's death is a
| fearful shock to his devoted family,
the widow, Mrs. Allensworth, and two
daughters, Mrs. H. B. Skanks, and
Mrs. l.. Blodgett. Fearing the strain
upon them, very simple funeral serv'
ices will be held at present-Eagle.

1t was an address by a Negro
erator-a fitting close to the two
day celebration of the William
Lloyd Garrison century-that
stirred a crowded audience of Ne
gro men and women in Faneuil
Hall as no white speaker had
been able to stir them throughout
the whole series of Garrison ad-
dresses at previous meetings.
They cheered, they shouted, they
threw handkerchiefs and hats into
the, hair. The speaker was Rev.
Dr. Reverdy G. Ransom. In part,
he said: "It is not man s right,
1t is his duty to support and de-
fend his famil yand his home; he
zhOuld therefore resist any influ-
enee exerted to prevent him from
maintaining them in comfort; !;
while he should oppose with his
life the invader or despoiler of
his home. God has created man
with a mind capable Of infinite
development and growth; it is
not, therefore, a man. s right, it is
MS duty to improve his mind and
to educate his children; he should
not, therefore, submit to condi-

lions which would compel them
to grow up in ignorance. Man
belongs to society; it is his duty
to make his personal contribution
of the best that is within him to
the common good; he can do this
only as he is given opportunity to
freely associate with his fellow
IDan- He should, therefore, seek
to overthrow the artificial social
barriers which would intervene to
separate him from realizing the
highest and best there is within
him by freedom Of association. 1t
Is man s duty to be loyal to his
country and his flag, but when
his country becomes a land of op-
preston and his flag an emblem
of injustice and wrong, it be-
comes as much his duty to attack
khe enemies within the Nation as
TO resist the foreign invader. Ty-
rants and tyranny everywhere
should be attacked and over
thrown.
"The question which America
is trying to answer and which it
must soon definitely settle is
this: What kind of Negroes do
the American people wantY That
they must have the Negro in
some relation is no longer a ques-
tion of serious debate. The Negro
is here 100000 strong, and for
veal or woe he is here to stay
ne is here to remain forever. In
the Government he is a political
factor; IN education and in wealth
he is leaping forward with giant
strides; he counts his taxable
property by the millions, his edu-
Gated men and women by the
scores of thousands; in the South
he is the backbone Of industry; IL
every phase of American life his
presence may he noted; he is
also as thoroughly imbued with
American principles and ideals al
any class of people beneath oul
flag. When Garrison started his
fight for freedom it was the pre-
vailing sentiment that the Negro
could have no place in this coun
try save that of slave but hi

SUMMARY OF ADDRESS TO couN-
TRY OF NATIONAL INDEPEN-
DENT EQUAL RIGHTS
LEAGUE.
Seventh Annual Meeting, New York
City, September 7-1o, 1914.

Let the American people and espe-
! cially the President, in view of the
| bloody war of all Europe and the
probable grant of freedom to Ireland
and suffrage to women, freedom to
Poles and Firms and relief from seq
regation and political disabilities for
| the Jews, induced by the needs of
warning nations, remember that 12,-
100000 native citizens in this coun-
try are worse prescribed than those
of Europe. We appeal to President
Wilson to free Colored Americans
from Jim-crow cars, disfranchisement
lynching and segregation, especially
under the Federal government at the
Federal capital now rather than await
some awful war here.
Southern disfranchisement encour-
ages other forms of lawlessness and
| renders the Colored citizens helpless
in as cowardly fashion as the lynch
ing which it's disrespect for law
breeds
Jim-crow cars were absurd enough,
but residence segregation shows the
South knows no limit in prescription
If let alone.
Segregation of Federal employees is
the most alarming symptom. The Pc
tition presented against it to Presi-
dent Wilson by a delegation of this
league checked it only. We ask Pres
ident Wilson to entirely remove this
Matchmaking of caste.
We protest against disfranchise-
ment, lynching, segregation, denial of
civil and political rights. We want
only the rights all others enjoy, even
the foreigner. We shall never cease
until all citizens have full equal rights
in every state.
We advocate enforcement of the
constitution, making lynching Fed
eral crime, abolition of legal segrega-
tion, Federal aid to educational
This prescription, visited upon no
Americans but those of color, is seri-
Gus and not to be minimized. Col
ored citizens are warned that they
mus tever resist it by agitation and
organization. Organization of Colored
persons is the only means to gain
rights or retain them if gained.
We urge the use of the ballot as
the real weapon of self-defense, vot-
ing independently for our rights and
liberties and not for party.
Greetings and appreciations are ex-
tended to the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People
and the Constitution League for aid,
and thanks given Congressman T. c.
Thacher and A. j. Peters of Massachu-
setts for securing a hearing against
segregation and opposing it.
Federal segregation as practiced in
the departments and encouched in va
rious bills should be made an issue
as to supporting candidates for Con-
gress, and no doubtful men on these
Issues should be voted for.
Another delegation to see Presi-
dent Wilson on undoing Federal seq
regation is advised
Next to segregation, the denial Of
employment of industry is the most
inhuman practice of this country.
AS an attempt to reduce Colored
Americans to permanent caste is so
powerful, acceptance of non-legal seq
regation in philanthropic institutions
! in the North is opposed.

Is grouchy knocker or a luke
warm pretender his lodge will find
a hundred faults in the new plan.
II the loss by death of a brother
is matter of sorrow to one lodge
1t likewise effeets all the lodges,
since we are all of one fraternity
and all the lodges should express
their sorrow by contributing to the
proper respect for the deceased as
well as to the relief of the family.
Subordinate lodges are formed
merely for convenience. 1t is the
fraternity and not the lodge so
much that profane enters
through initiation. He becomes
Mason and his fellowship is as
wide as the earth. Therefore the
mutual burial fund idea is a strict
ly Masonic virtue.
