Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. M. Zion Church, was guest of honor at a banquet given by the citizens of Greater New York and vicinity Wednesday evening at Young's Casino, 134th itreet and Park avenue.

While the gathering was non-partisan in its makeup. Republicans, Democrats and Progressives being present in goodly numbers, more than ordinary political significance was attached to the affair, as the occasion marked the first public acknowledgment of Bishop Walters as the new political leader of bis race for 't BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTLR5 the incoming Democratic administration at Washington. The banquet was largely attended and the race was represented in all walks of life. Well known divines, professional and business men and those actively engaged in politics broke bread together, and the speakers were pro fuse in their complimentary references to Bishop Walters. Young's Casino was tastefully rated, and the cut flowers and potted plants on the tables aided greatly in nuking the scene an inviting one.

The somber evening clothes of the male guests were in direct contrast to the bright, attractive costumes of the ladies present Counselor James L. Curtis creditably performed the duties of toast-master. In starting the speechmaking Counselor Curtis said in part: "Just as an all wise Providence has conserved in the bowels of the earth the naterial means of sustenance for the iman race, to be economically dispensed at different stages in the world's history, meet the demands of existing exigences, so an inscrutable God has ever held in reserve a man possessed of certain qualities and attributes to be called forth from the womb of time when in the course of human events the public weal demaads tne appearance of such a personality to i ranee a cause or promote a great undertaking. present exigencies demand that an snsHiish, courageous and able advocate of the rights of the Negro step forth jn the spotlight of the drama of American life to play this role.

At a banquet given by Counselor Thomas L. Jones at his residence, 1901 New Hampshire avenue Northwest, a few evenings ago, the guests became involved in a lengthy discussion on the subject, "Shall We Call Ourselves Negroes or Colored People?" The banquet was attended by some of the leading Negro residents of the Capital city. Dr. John R. Francis, one of the most prominent of the local Negro physicians, declared that colored people was preferred, but he met bitter opposition from Ralph W.

Tyler, the Negro auditor for the Navy Department The question bad equal support among those present, and after some discussion the subject was dropped for a more pleasant one.

Crowned as king and yet not a king was the peculiar experience of Cassio Norwood at the Mardi Gras and Fancy Dress Carnival of the Utopia Neighborhood Club at the New Star Casino Fri day evening. Ordinarily kings are kings by the divine right of family inheritance, and they are deprived of their thrones only through final dissolution of their earthly tabernacles from natural causes, sudden death by violence, forced abdica tion by more powerful claimants for their throne, or by the revolutionary up rising of their ill-governed subjects.

Mr. Norwood owed his elevation to the kingly estate and his deposal therefrom to other and entirely different causes A feature, of the Mardi Gras was the casting of a popular vote for king and Queen of the Carnival Cassio Norwood was a candidate, and a very popular one. There were five other candidates, and their friends were just as desirous that they should have this honor. The balloting finished and votes count ed, announcement was made by the official announcer, Wm. H.

Vaughn. The crowd was large and the excitement was intense. The vote as announced was misunderstood by some of the anxious friends of Mr. Norwood, and information was given Mrs. A.

S. Reed, president of the club, that he had received the highest number of votes. Mrs. Reed immediately instructed Mr. Norwood to don his kingly robes and take place in the procession which would lead him to the throne.

Hanrey.JphnsoiRnothe.tcanilidate,; and throne actually receiving the high-, est number of votes, demanded a recall of the supposed-to-be king, claiming that the throne was his by virtue of receiving the largest number of votes cast The claim of Mr. Johnson was referred to the supervisor of election, Arthur W. Handy, but in the meantime the coronation ceremony went merrily on, and Mr. Norwood, amidst scenes of pomp and glory, received the regal emblems of his high estate. But Mr.

Johnson's claims were founded in fact He had received the highest number of votes cast, and his kingly dignities and honors had been wrongfully given to another. There was little salve or palliation for wounded ambitions, but such as was contained in the award of a prize of $10 in gold, which was provided for the successful contestant, was given to Harvey Johnson. The contest for the queen was hotly contested, but the honors went to Miss Minnie Cherry, who made a charming picture in her queenly habiliments, although the conspicuousness caused noticeable nervousness on her part She was also awarded $10 in gold. The vote was as follows: For king Harvey Johnson, 241 Cassio Norwood, 173; J. C.

Whittaker, 82; Dr. J. S. Williams, 62; H. O.

Harding, 41; E. A. Nichols, 28. For queen Miss Minnie Cherhy, 383 Miss Bessie Perkinson. 310; Miss Bessie Pike, Miss Lillian Dickerson, 82; Miss Marian Johnson, 32; Miss Minnie Johnson, 30.

The By Booker Washington Author of "Up from Slaveiy, ''SMy Larger Education, Etc. This is the record of a trip made by Dr. Washington for the purpose of studying conditions in Europe, and it is a most illuminating book. For there is np one whose keen sympathy and understanding enables him really to depict the conditions of the man farthest down like the author of "Up From Slavery;" and the great beauty of it is that it is filled with such optimistic observations founded on solid fact and deduction as "Bad as conditions are in some places, I don't think that I visited any place where things are not better now than they were some years ago." His journey was a journey among the saddest spectacles in European life. As he says: "Some people will think, perhaps, that everything I was looking for was commonplace or bad, and that I avoided everything extraordinary or worth while looking at.

My only excuse is that I was, in fact, not looking for the best but for the worst. I was hunting for the man farthest down." The inspiration of the book is that, having found the man farthest down, he shows an abundance of hope for him.

7-tf New Vork "vw i LOCAL REALTY MEN DOIfi'G BIG BUSINESS Negro Real Estate Brokers Assert They Protect Their Tenants TELL OF CONDITIONS Large Amount Property in New York and Vicinity Being Handled by Negroes Many Arc Doing Wei. Continuing the investigation begun last week on conditions within the Negro business interests of New York, The Ace representative 'visited this week several of the representative Negro real estate agents whose offices are located the Harlem section, and made some inquiries concerning the handling of properties for rental to Negro tenants. Philip A. Payton, with offices at 67 West 134th street, is the pioneer Negro real estate agent in New York City. He made his first venture in 1900, In reply to a question as to how he succeeded in getting houses to rent to Negro tenants in the beginning, he said i was a real estate agent, making a specialty of the management of colored tenement property for nearly a year before I actually succeeded in getting a colored tenement to manage.

My first opportunity came as a result of a dispute between two landlords in West U4th street To 'get even' one of them turned his house over to me to fill with colored tenants. I was successful in renting and managing this house, and after a time I was able to induce other landlords to make the change and give me their houses to manage. By opening tor colored tenants first a house in one block and then a house in another I have finally succeeded in. securing for the colored people of New York over two hundred and fiftv first-class flats and private dwellings, conveniently located as to transportation facilities, etc" Mr. Fayton declared that it was only reasonable that colored tenement property should be managed by Negro agents because they would have more real in-" aiidf espectTor their" tenants.

Asked as to the effect on nronerties for white tenants when adjacent proper- I ties were opened for Negro tenants. Mr. Payton said I As an illustration of the conditions that existed I cannot do better than to cite an actual case. I opened a house for Negro tenants at the end of a row of houses occupied bv whites. Manv of the whites moved, but the most peculiar phase of the affair was that in order to rent to white tenants the apart ments on the side next the Netrro tenement it was necessary to reduce the ent 54 a month less than on the oddo- site side, although the apartments were exactly alike.

Negro Agsnts Opsn in Many Sections, Mr. Payton said also that the Negro agents bad opened up sections never dreamed of in the beginning. Among other sections he mentioned West 119th street between Eighth and Manhattan avenues, and West 99th street between Central Park West and Columbus Grcle. C. E.

Hutchinson has his office at 5 West 134th street, and has six employes who are kept busy attending to the affairs of his office. Mr. Hutchinson was the second Negro to venture into the real estate business, and, like Mr, rayton, he has made a success of it Two of the largest and wealthiest cor porations of the city, one of them being tne ttiing Brewing Company, have in trusted to his management all their properties which were bought for in vestment and rented to Neero tenants. these are million-dollar corporations. peaking of the growth of his bust ness, Mr.

Hutchinson said that he start ed in the real estate business alone and built it up alone; that he had handled a number of properties he was satisfied no other agent could handle. Not long ago he handled a deal for a certain investor aggregating more than $100,000, and the deal was consummated in one day. Some deals he had carried through involved more than a half million dol lars. An expert accountant is employed by Mr. Hutchinson, who audits the office books two or three times weekly, and in this way not only are the interests of his clients protected, but he is always able to tell the exact condition of his business.

As to the future of the real estate business among the Negroes, Mr. Hutchinson declares that no one can tell what it will be. Its growth has been gradual but healthy and virile, and there is really no limit to it. Have Elegant Suite of Offices. Nail ti Tarker are located at 145 West 135th street, in the most elegant suite of offices visited.

The firm is composed of two young men, "Jack" Nail and Henry Parker. Though com-j paratively young in the business, they are aggressive and forceful and have made permanent and healthful advances in the real estate business, Mr. Parker said thas the Negro' real estite agent is not understood bv the people. He is fighting the Negro's battles every day and is always strivin? hard to break down the prejudice th exists against the Negro as a tenant. It is only throm'h ignorance on the part of the investor that the Negro is considered undesirable.

One of the principal speakers who addressed the City Club Monday evening advocating fair play for the Negro and protesting against the segregation of the race in certain districts of the large cities was Ray Stannard Baker, editor of the American Magazine. Mr. Baker declared that in segregating the Negroes and holding them down to the lowest occupations the white people were cultivating race hatred and working great evil to their own social conditions. 1 1 do not know which is worse, he said, "the social disabilities which are placed upon the Negroes or the moral! disabilities which we incur in so treat ing the Negroes.

In the words of Booker T. Washington, 'The white man cannot keep the Negro in the gutter without staying there with I often think societies formed to elevate the Negro would do better if their work were directed to elevating the white man to treat the Negro justly." Other speakers were Mrs. Henrv Vil la rd and Ur. ueorge fc Haynes, Director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. MRS.

COTTON SEED OIL MILL IN OPERATION Formal Opening of Mill at Mound Bayou, Attended by Nearly Ten Thousand Persons Special to Thb New Tobk Aor Memphis, Dec. 3. Your correspondent was among a considerable group of men and women from Memphis who attended the formal opening of the cottonseed oil mill at Mound Bayou, a few days ago. Several present were heard to say that they did not believe that the members of our race in the United States appreciated the significance of the starting of this tremendous commercial enterprise by the black people of Mississippi and other parts of the South. Several surprises were in store for the party which went from Memphis to Mound Bayou.

All were surprised at the tremendous crowd that gathered in the Negro town to hear the address of Booker T. Washington and to witness the formal open ing of the mill by the blowing of the whistle for the first time." There were at least from eight to ten thousand people on the grounds, coming' not only from Mississippi, biit from Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Illinois, Louisiana and other States. The second thing that surprised the Memphis delegation was the size of the cottonseed oil mill. The visitors had no conception that the buildings were so large or the machinery so costly and complicated. The third clement of surprise grew out of the fact that the city of Mound Bayou was found to be much larger than the visitors had expected, and that throughout the day, notwithstanding there were thousands of strangers in the city, good order was maintained.

Charles Banks, Isaiah T. Montgomery and the board of directors of the cottonseed oil mill deserve the gratitude of the race. It marks the -most forward step in business directions in our opinion that has been undertaken by black people. The launching of this cottonseed oil mill, located as it is in the heart of the South, will do more good in the solution of the race problem than the passing of many resolutions or the Voiding of a long series of indignation mtinrs. The oil mill was planned by colored tnen, built by the hands of colored men aid with colored men's money.

The whole enterprise has so far cost aKl it has no debt resting upon it. Ch-rlcs Banks and his co-workers dc-sere and should have the thanks of our race. in a JAMAICA HARD HITBYHUE Western Towns Are Wiped Out By Destructive Tropical Wind Storm THOUSANDS HOMELESS Banana Industry Receives Great Set Back Temporarily and Coffee an Sugar Exporters Suffer DAMAGE TO MOM EGO BAY Property Loss Great in Leading Western Town-Westmoreland Devastated Homeless Arc Being Cared for. Late details of the recent hurricane in Jamaica, B. W.

received by The Ag show that the loss of life and property was greater than first reported. Many western parishes were almost completely destroyed by the storm, and the damage to the banana industry will be great Montego Bay was hard hit by the hur ricane and Lucea, Sav-la-Mar and Greene Island were almost wiped out The entire parish of Westmoreland has been devastated and thousands are homeless. Every vestige of vegetation was swept away, although hope is expressed that the can crop of the parish will be saved. The Sav-la-Mar Parish church has been partially unroofed and the rectory destroyed. Archdeacon Davis was i forced to live in his bath room itn-mediately after the St Paul's Church, Grange Hill Church, Chichester Church, Mountpeiier Church," Petersfield Church and the Darlington Church were damaged.

At Negril the only building standing is the St Mary's Church, which is being used to shelter the homeless. The destruction at Little London has been as complete as it was at Sav-la-Mar. The Wesleyan Church, the houses of Messrs. Mayer and Goldon, and a shop belonging to the Hon. W.

A. S. Vickers were the only structures left At Montego Bay the homeless are being taken care of at the Court House, and many dead bodies have been recovered. Two days after the hurricane thirty-two dead bodies were found. There are at least three-hundred homeless at Montega Bay.

The following vessels are reported to have been destroyed: Latonia, Capt McLaughlin Marion May, Capt Wynter; Express, Capt Thompson. There is hardly a banana tree standing at Catadupa and the surrounding districts.
