musicians were first seen walking
through the streets of New York with
banjos and guitars. The reason was
obvious. AS symphony men they had

NEGRO MUSICIANS
POPULARITY GROWS
Have Had Steady Rise in
New York in Last 20
--'
Years.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. March l3.-Five Young
negroes boarded downtown subway
recently They were in evening
clothes. and. each carried a musical
instrument.
This quintet was on it's way to fill
an engagement at the home OF
member. OF New York's smart set.
Twenty years ago engagement
was not in the professional negro
musicians vocabulary. Then it was
gig" The two words summarize
the spectacular evolution of the ne
gro musician entertainer in New
York City.
The gradual rise of the negro mu-
sician in New York to his present
commanding position is of unusual
interest.
1t was about 1900 when negro
singers and players" as they then
advertised themselves. began to at
tract the favorable attention of New
York society in d big way. 1t soon
became quite the proper thing to
employ them to sing and play at
dinners, birthday parties, banquets
and weddings.
Responsible for Cabarets.
Negroes were the first to introduce
ca abarct entertainment to the night
revelers of New York City. The
near Eighth avenue. owned by the late
Barron d. wilkins, enjoyed a popu-
larity all its own, due to the way
in which musicians singers and
dancers worked Next Sontag's, a
roadhouse, at One Hundred and Tenth
street and LenoX avenue. and VIII
Iams, at One Hundred and Eleventh
street and St. Nicholas avenue, made
bid for patronage by employing
negro entertainers.
In 1910 James Reese Europe, who
had just closed an engagement as
musical director of Mr.. Lode of
koal," in which Bert Williams was
star, organized the Clef Club which
he had hoped to make clearing
house for local negro musicians and
a recognized constructive force. The
club moved into its present quarters,
134 West Fifty-third street. and for
several years was much in the lime
light. One of it's noteworthy tri-
unphs was a concert at Carnegie Hall.
in which 125 singers and players took
part.
Differences between Europe and
members of the Clef Club brought
about his enforced retirement as
president.
Jim Europe, as he was popularity
called, was one of three persons
mainly responsible for the society
dance craze that struck New York
just before the. World War. The 9TH
er two prominent figures were Mr..
and Mrs Vernon Castle.
Worked. With Castles.
Dame Fortune began to smile on
Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle immedi-
ately following an engagement at the
home of the Stotesburys, Philadelphia,
on which occasion Europe and his
orchestra played for the couple. Then
the Castles made a flying trip to the
larger cities of the East and Middle
West, giving dancing exhibitions.
They took, with them is colored musi-

Woman Ranks With Man
in Intellectual Force

There IL small group of sciel-
rists to whom women owe an everlast-
ing debt Of gratitude. These are the
psychologists who have produced the
mental. yardstick - the intelligence
test-and have thus furnished the
fairer sex with the final convincing
argument to refute the ancient and
Odious charge that women have less
brains than men.
The intelligence tests have given the
scientific answer to the question: Who
are more intelligent. men or women
And the answer Is so conclusive
that It leaves no room for appeal or
evasion. The test scores of hundreds
Of thousands of children and young
people Of both sexes in schools and
colleges have furnished the evidence.
One noted psychologist declares that
according to numerous tests he has
made on school children under four
teen years the girls actually score one
or two points higher than the boys.
Still another point of difference be-
tween the sexes, as revealed by the
tests, is that women's scores do not
ductuate either above or below the
average nearly so much as do mems
The very high grades-also the very
low ones-are generally made by men.
Nature always eQualizes. And when
the grand average is drawn we dis
cover that the ancient notion Of mas
culine mental superiority is hoax.
The extremes reached by men In the
tests may perhaps give US the clue to
another reason why the world has
produced few men geniuses, but no
women--and why the institutions for
the feeble-minded contain more men
than women. It is from the highest
levels that the genius comes, and from
the lowest the nut And, as we have
Just learned, both Of these levels con-
tain more men than women. The fall
lacy Of the past has been to consider
these few intellectual prodigies as
samples Of the whole male half Of the
race. We must, therefore, conclude
that the woman given to our father
Adam was not only bone Of his bone
and n0ah Of his flesh--as the theolo-
CLANS tell us-but also brain of his
brain, The sons Of Adam and the
daughters Of Eve are possessed Of the

Two dead whales found floating OF
the northern California coast were not
victims Of bombarding by the guns
Of the battleships in the ''battIe" OF.
Hawaii, as first believed. The whales
were killed and mutilated by a school
Of orca. or killer whales, otherwise
known as wolves-of-the-sea. Swimming
in droves these killers attack the
largest whale much the same as
wolves surround and bring down a
moose or deer. The orca, which are
usually more voracious In the Far

Use ''Moral" Bluff to
Put Over Law Against
r a d c a | Literature

ALBANY, N. Y, March 1. - The
clean books bill, giving sweeping
powers to courts to take books off the
market for alleged offenses against
public morals, seems Goomed to de-
feat because 1t would interfere with
the business interests of publishing
houses.
This measure is sponsored by SEN
ator Love of Brooklyn. 1t is pointed
out that the bill would undoubtedly
be used to stop publication of books
crossing conventional lines on other
things than sex. Books dealing with
advanced social and economic the
cries would be subjected to censor
ship at the whim of judges, district at
torneys and petit juries.
Senator Love, in his final argument
before the committee admitted that
the numerous books he wanted to
present as evidence of the need for
censorship had not been found to vio-
late existing obscenity statutes. His
proposed bill, he urged. would enable
more drastic censorship than that
now possible.

Strike of Brownsville
Laundry Drivers Gets
Victories for Union

NEW YORK, Mar. 1.-The strike of
the Brownsville laundry drivers is
forcing the bosses one after the other
20 sign up with the union, the last
two being the Stadium and the Hins-
dale laundries, which have deserted
the owners association in face of
what they consider losing fight with
the union.
William Berman, who was brutally
beaten by thugs under the direction
Of Dorfman, the president of the own
ers' association, is still in the hospi-
tai and not able to attend the mass
meeting to be held tonight when the
question of general strike will be
settled. The bosses are shivering in
their boots as they await the decision
of this meeting.
Doctors at the hospital declare that
herman will not be able to get out
for five weeks at least and may not
get we'll at all. In the meantime the
union is keen on winning the strike
and the entire membership is lined up
solidly.
The Erasmus and the Clovelen
laundries are still closed, no attempt
being made by the bosses to use
scabs, fearing that patronage would
be withdrawn permanently if scabs
were used during the strike.
