Delicious Meat EIavorIna.

Garlic vinegar makes meat rich and

gar is used. Pour into the pores of
the meat as much vinegar as it will

WHITE ELoPER DEFENDS LOVE
FOR NEGRO.

Salt Lake, Jan. 25.-Van Lee Hood,
prominent hotel owner of San Diego
Cal, will arrive here at 2:15 this after
noon to defend the honor of his wife,
Mrs. Viola Hood who is being held in
the city Jail with Raymond NJ. Dodds,
a Negro with whom she eloped Friday
from her home in San Diego.
Gripping the bars of her cell in the
woman's ward with White hands, Mrs
Hood said:
Raymond and l are wrong only in
the eyes of society. l love him and he
loves me. The fact that we are of a
different race should make no differ
ence, | am happier when l am with
him than with any one else in the
world-oh, why want they let us be
happy together"
Fearing that he would be arrested
on sight and bounded almost to dis
traction Dodds entered the police sta.
tion here early yesterday morning
and gave himself up to Captain j.
Roberts.
Mrs. Hood was picked up a short
time laterd by Negro informant of
the police department and placed in
custody.
"Oh, these laws of society, these un.
natural, so-called laws of nature! Why
am !, a free woman, not free to seek
out my mate be he white or black /?
Why do they seek to persecute because
l love Raymond Dodds and proudly as
sert it ?" continued Mrs. Dodds.
For year and halw fought this
love, fought with all my might, but to
no avail. Many times Raymond said
to me-. 1T is wrong for us to hope, we
should part but always there was that
calling in my heart, the desire to be
with him. Many times we parted but
always to meet again Either | would
seek him out or he would find me.
Willingly have l abandoned husband,
home, family and friends for Raymand,
and l would do it again to be with
for just day.

Is puzzle, and my love for Raymond
is no more puzzle than what society

is that 1t is simply hidden in my heart
never to be disturbed. No longer will

ness. Why should fear the ridicule Of

ATALEOF OLD JAPAN
Prof. Work and Chorus Big Feature
at "Y."
Do Credit to S. coleridee Taylor's
Music.
BY CHARLES A. sTARKs.

Last Friday evening, January 2S,
saw the big "Y's" auditorium enjoy
ing what every theater manager and
manipulation of playing cards like to
see frequently full house.
1t was an evening with Coleridge
Taylor, the late African-English COM
poser "a Tale of Old Japan" was
the vehicle in which Prof. F. j. Work
and his augmented chorus of gruelled
voices were gracefully riding. One
would have thought the crowd was
strictly cosmopolitan. Not on your
life, it was rather a conglomeration
of kinds. Music, you know, is no re-
specter of persons or classes, and
there were some persons there who
were no respecters of music. There
were a couple of feminine chatter
boxes who sat directly in front of
the writer who persisted in plying
their gossip genius to his discontinue
and others in that vicinity of the
house. Other than this, all went well
with the audience.
The program came so very near

The second part: "A Tale of Old
Japan"
All public entertainments should
have as basic purpose the educat-
ing OF the whole community. There
is no asset that can be more advan-
tageously added to a peoples knowl-
edge than the appreciation of good
music. Music, the divine language of
harmony, the nobler expression of soul.
To our people it has won for them
a recognition from the world as be-
ing the one race upon whom God has
poured his richest and purest bless
ings of music. Ethiopia has stretched
forth her hand in no more picturesque
manner than in disseminating her
tuneful melodies throughout the world.
We are brought to an immediate con-
sideration of some of these melodies
by the presentation of Prof. Work S
chorus in "The Tale of Old Japan"
by S. Coleridge Taylor Taylor's mu-
sic is sweet but difficult, still not diff
ficult in the usual way of music, not
calling so much for fancy vocalization
as it does for power, sweetness or a
dramatic sense of pathos. Taylor
cadences are sure to have a weird
turn and finish peculiarly tuneful, hav-
ing that distant offness so beautiful
in compositions by colored composers
Prof. Work was fortunate in secur-
ing a chorus to enter at once into
the spiritdom of this oriental tale

beginning of the story. The sweet
exact notes of the piano strike the

A film entitled THE Bat
tie Cry of Peace" is being
shown at the Willis Wood
which theatre Colored people
are not allowed to attend.
Recently some one with bet
ter intentions than judgment
arranged so that Negroes
might be allowed a jim
hour for each of two days in
which to see some of these
peace portrayals. A few Ne
groes who do not mind being
Inundated, undertook to
work up attendance for these
special concessions but did
not meet with any great sue
cess. If the moral support
Of Negroes is necessary to the
peace propagandists their
abstraction should not be
colored with any form of
race distinction or Jim-crow-
ism. If Negroes cannot at
tend the Willis Wood theatre
whenever they desire, then to
be self-respecting they should
not go at all.
Naturally we who are upon
every hand buffeted, assault
ed, manned and tortured by
these ce-loving exponents
should make the very best
advocates of their cause. Or
perhaps it were better that
we first have an example of
peace at home ere we dictate
to belligerent nations who
simply on account of a differ
ence in color regard us as the
dregs of the earth.
