MEMBERS OF THE AFRO
AMERICAN COUNCIL
MRS. YATES DISCUSSES
OPPORTUNITY OF NEGRO
Says Time Has Arrived in His Evolu
tion When He Must Contribute to
the Wealth of the Nation by Friend
ly Rivalry in Industry and Art With
the White Man.
The National Afro-American council
convened yesterday morning at the
senate chamber of the state capitol.
There were over fifty authorized dele
gates present, and with the visitors
present the hall was filled to its ca
pacity.
The morning session was devoted to
addresses of welcome and responses.
Gov. Van Bant welcomed the delegates
on behalf of the state, Mayor Robert
A. Smith on behalf of the city of St.
Paul, and Harry Shepherd, of St. Paul,
on behalf of the colored citizens of.
St. Paul, and Mrs. Dr. J. E. Porter on
behalf of the ladies. The delegates
were welcomed on behalf of the
churches by Rev. Timothy Reeves, of
Minneapolis.
Responses were made by the Rt.
Rev. H. C. Smith, of Michigan; Hon.
T. Thomas Fortune, chairman of the
executive committee, New York;
Mrs. Josephine Silme Yates and Col.
William A. Pledger, of Georgia, sec
ond vice president of the council.
During the morning session Booker
T. Washington, president of the Tus
kegee institute, arrived and was es
corted to a seat on the platform.
The Rt. Rev. C. R. Harris, of North
Carolina, presided over the afternoon
session, and after prayer by Rev. J.
C. Anderson, of St. Paul, the report of
the committee on credentials was re
ceived. The Rt. Rev. Alexander Wal
ters, D. D., of New Jersey, president
of the council, delivered his annual
address and spoke on the progress of
organization and the good that it had
done for the race.
The rest of the afternoon was given
over to hearing reports of the officers
of the council and the appointment of
committees. The afternoon session
was concluded with a discussion on the
"Best Means of Organizing the Afro-
American Council." The discussion
was taken part in by a number of the
prominent delegates present and was
very lively.
Mrs. Yates' Message.
Last evening a musical programme
and entertainment was given at the
House of Hope church, corner of Fifth
and Exchange streets. The capacity
of the church was taxed to its utmost
and Rev. Dr. H. T. Johnson, of New
Jersey, who presided, made the intro
ductory address. The principal address
of the evening was made by Mrs. J.
Silone Yates, of Kansas City, Mo.,
president of the National Association
of Women. She spoke on "The Twen
tieth Century Negro and His Oppor
tunities for Success," and said in part:
"Endymion." a mortal, says the Greek
myth, was visited in his dreams by a
goddess, and the poet Keats, with de
lightful imagery and matchless power of
portrayal, makes use of the legend to
show how the the inspirations of that
faco follow tho young man until finally
it lifts his eoul into the abodes of the
gods.
Inspiration is the keynote of the shad
owy myth and of the masterly poem.
Inspiration comes to races as well as
to individuals when the inner conscious
ness is ready for the change that must
take plaec in the internal as well as the
external life. Then the soul of the people
has, as it were, its real birth.
Evolution of the Negro.
Recently, comparatively speaking, In
spiration came to Japan. As a rer
witness the change in the government,
religion, manners and customs of the
Japanese of today as compared with
those of fifty years a^o. And come to us
It must will, this heaven-born inspira
tion, filling the soul of our race with
Bongs that have never been sung, with
words that have never been written or
■poken, with principles never before for
mulated and materialized.
For nearly throe centuries a remark
able chain of events has been preparing
the negro for a higher evolution, and the
end is not yet. He is now passing
through a fiery ordeal scarcely less cru-

cial than his former state of servitude.
And will he be able to stand the test?
Will he sfcize the opportunities that now
present themselves to him ? Will he show
to the world that he has a mission among
the races of the earth not alone meas
ured by physical faculties? Will he be
able to solve the "ego," or "I am" of
his existence?
Military advance, that Is, organization,
the ability to co-operate and concentrate
forces, the first but not the last great
step in nation-making, we learned to
some extent in the nineteenth century.
We learned to know something of the
value of discipline: of that rigid, cf\
cise, well defined law which makes the
state a possibility and a people success
ful.
Time to Do Has Arrived.
"We have now the opportunity in the
twentieth century to take the next step
and learn the value of well-directed com
petition. We need to develop that spirit
of friendly rivalry that manifests itself by
a desire to break away from old forms
and reach out for something higher and
nobler. A most important step, for
whenever not properly made, or not made
on time, we have examples of arrested
civilisation.
lndia.China, all Oriental countries, have
furnished the world with brilliant exam
ples of impeded progress. We do not
need to increase the lists in this direc
tion. Let bur development be full, free
and unimpeded. Let us seize each op
portunity in time.
Essentials of Progress.
Unity of purpose, organization, co
operation, concentrated, and above all.
consecrated effort, are the essentials of
race progress which as a people we must
keep steadily before us in this period
of our development.
United we stand, but divided we fall,
and severed by existing conditions from
many of the enterprises that universally
interest mankind, that develop his facul
ties and represent his ambitions, we must
Jearn to co-operate for mutual proteption
to^fiivancement, clinging with that per
tinacity which has characterized "Rus
sia's dream of a thousand years," to
advajsiages gained under untold obstacles
and difficulties, let us press forward until
our noblest dreams have been realized.
Through personal effort we are to dis
cover the "divine face," the "I am" of
our existence.
In the nineteenth century necessarily
we leaned upon others; in the twentieth
we must learn self-reliance, and the new
century with its new thoughts and creeds,
and progressive ideas, is to furnish such
opportunities for this purpose as never
before unfolded to our wondering eyes.
Industrial arts multiply; new lands, un
developed countries await the man of
parts, of brain, of talent, irrespective of
race or color, and invite him to take part
in its development, if he represents in his
personality well-directed energy
New Era In South.
The South is entering upon a period of
industrial greatness. The negro is in
the South in full force, but if he desires
to hold his own there he must become
in every sense a skilled workman, an
educated man; otherwise he will lose the
opportunity of turning to his own account
the fluctuating moods of capital and la
bor.
Opportunities await him in the newly
acquired possessions of the United
States. Germany also stretches forth
her hand to the young Arro-American
and bids him come and develop the won
derful resources of Africa, the home of
his fainers.
Making Himself Felt.
Inventive genius, the skill which finds
out and sets in order something new, is
a potent force in shaping the destiny of
any people, and we rejoice that now, from
time to time, some important invention
has its source in the mains of a negro.
The product of his imagination, whether
as masterly literary efforts, or whether
directly applied to the advancement of.
other arts and science, will accomplish
more toward molding the future of the
race than any amount of favorable legis
lation.
The twentieth century, with its excel
lent equipment of technical schools, af
fords us greater opportunities than ever
for securing the skill required of the
artist, the scientist, the inventor; while
the Held of industrial improvement is so
vast that practically there is no limit to
the probabilities of inventive achieve
ment.
In less than forty years of freedom the
negro wiped out 45 per cent of his illit
eracy; accumulated farms and homes val
ued at $750,000,000; personal property at
$170,000,000; had raised $11,000,000 for ed
ucational purposes, and possessed church
property valued at $4,000,000. With the
additional opportunities of the new cen
tury, with the application of "common
sense" to the solution of his problems, he
should be able to wipe out the remainder
before its close, and materially increase
his financial status.
He has now the opportunity to improve
his home life, to learn the fine art of liv
ing, and just in proportion as this home
life becomes truly noble, truly inspiring,
truly artistic, shall we find the young
people who go forth from this "golden
milestone' 1 prepared to make use of their
opportunities and to achieve success.
'rhe well rounded character embraces
the art, the science, the philosophy of
life, hence in our desire to develoo the
intellectual forces of the race, and to
seize the industrial opportunities of the
moment, let us not forget to develop the
noralities so essential to the permanent
>rogress of a people.
A feature of the musical programme
was the vocal solo by Mr. Cyrus Field
Adams, president of the National
Afro-American Press Association.
Negro's Destiny Unfolding.
Prof. W. E. Burgherdt Dv Bois, of
Atlanta university, Atlanta, Ga., spoke
on "The Problem of Work," and said
in part:
"When any group of people are try
ing to become a part of a great civ
ilization, their first work is thoroughly
«to understand it. The civilization in
America today is peculiar in many
ways. There have been nations of
greater culture before in the world,
nations with finer literatures and with
finer monuments of art, but there nev
er has been before in the world a
case where so vast a group of people
as this has made so startling and suc
cessful an effort to furnish themselves
with bread, butter and shelter. Thus
in economic developments America
stands permanent. Now the negro has
a peculiar connection with this eco
nomic development. He was brought
here in early years as a slave to for
ward it, and he is today a consider
able factor in it. If now, we as ne
groes, wish to gain a larger place in
American life, we must understand the
modern organization of industry and
we must teach our children to work.
Then from these stepping stones we
ought in the next half century to de
crease the proportion of farmers slight
ly, decrease the proportion of servants
by one-half, increase the number of
merchants and manufacturers three
fold, and double the number of our
professional men."
The business session today will be
consumed principally with reports of
bureaus, and the principal paper will
be read by Hon. H. C. Smith, of Ohio,
who will speak on "Anti-Lynching
Legislation." During the afternoon
there will be a discussion on a paper
on immigration and report of Prof.
Jesse Lawson, of New Jersey, secre
tary of the finance committee, will be
received. This evening at 8 o'clock a
musical entertainment will be given at
the House of Hope church, at which
Mrs. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, of
Boston, Mass., will deliver an address
on "Moral Courage as a Factor for
Social Regeneration."
Leg Broken by Car Wheel.
William Carson, working in the Great
Northern shops, was yesterday injured
by being struck by a car wheel. Carson
was rolling the wheel, which toppled over
and struck his right leg. The leg was
broken and the injured man taken to
St. Joseph's hospital.
Becker In Serious Shape.
George R. Becker, who fell through the
pole hole at Engine Company No. 2, Payne
avenue and York street, remained uncon
scious yesterday. At times he partially
regains consciousness, only to sink back.
The Eethesda physicians say that his con
dition is slightly improved, although he
is still in grave danger.

SALES ARE TRANSACTED

Hard Pressed to Award Prizes in
Yesterday's Events.
Still further improvement in the at
tendance at the horse show gave the
boxes and grand stand an animated
appearance yesterday afternoon, and
from time to time as the assemblage
vigorously applauded the action of the
judges in the show arena, or vocifer
ously cheered the winner of a heat or
race on the speed track, its numerical
increase Avas strikingly apparent. The
attendance of yesterday is estimated
by the management to have been more
than 5,000. *\
The day's programme as a whole was
fully up to the high standard estab
lished and of the proceedings in the
show ring it may be said that they
were of a character to be more inter
esting to the general spectator than
those of the preceding days, from the
fact that the scoring on points appar
ent principally to the judges and those
experienced in knowledge of horses
and equipment, was generously inter
spersed with exhibitions of high jump
ing and high school riding, and the
classes shown presented a pleasing va
riety. The race card, while presenting
no such event as the Der^by of the pre
vious day, was a good one and furnish
ed at least two highly exciting speed
contests.
Among the number of visiting horse
men who were present yesterday at
the show were: G. I. Hexter, the well
known horse dealer of New York, who
acted as agent for Miss Gould in her
recent purchase of a very high-priced
pair of horses, and D. R. Mills, a prom
inent horse fancier of lowa.
Important Sales Made.
Thus far this show has brought
about several transactions whereby
valuable animals have changed hands,
and it is understood that negotiations
are now pending for several more im
portant sales. The most important
of the sales thus far made public is
that whereby W. G. Carling becomes
the owner of the handsome brown
mare Duchess, until yesterday the
property of E. L. Hersey, probably
the most valuable show animal own
ed an St. Paul. Duchess has appeared
singly and with Duke as mate in pair
events, won several prizes in the pres
ent show and a number in previous
competitions. Very soon after her
change of ownership she took first
prize in the gig class of yesterday,
in which some of the finest animals
from the Ashbrook and Palmer stables,
as well as a large field of local horses,
were entered. The price Mr. Carling
paid for her was $3,000, and it is stat
ed that before the day was over he
was offered $4,000 for her by Mr. Hex
ter. Mr. Palmer, of Denver, has pur
chased the horse Noble St. Cloud
from J. D. McArdle, of Minneapolis,
and it is said has negotiated for sev
eral other animals that have been
exhibited in this show.
Prominent among the visitors yes
terday was W. I. Pickett, grand ex
alted ruler of the Elks, and George
C. Cronk, of Omaha, who is also a
high officer of the order.
Duchess Wins Prize.
The first"class presented in the show
ring yesterday was the gig class men
tioned above, which was left over
from the previous day. As has been
stated, Duchess, of Mr. Hersey's en
try, won first prize; More Than King,
A. E. Ashbrook, second; and Glen
wood, G. E. Palmer, third. Besides
those mentioned, there were also
shown in this class Richard Yea, Mrs.
A. E. Ashbrook; Sunny Brook, G. E.
Palmer; Queen, F. B. Kellogg; Easter
Lily, George /C. Finch, and Delia, P. B.
Hunt.
For pair of roadsters three years
of age and over, M. L. Rothschild took
first prize with Buff Johnson and El
sie Gambrel, with which in single
turnout he took first and third in the
roadster class of yesterday. Second
went to G. E. Palmer, who drove his
new purchase, Noble St. Cloud with
Mrs. Ashbrook's Richard Yea; and
third to J. D. McArdle's Charlie and
Kittle. In this class A. TV. Lindeke
exhibited Brownie and Silas J.; W. A.
Rule, Irene and Corinne, and Dr. C.
De Garmo Gray, Andrew Gamelon and
Johnnie Mason.
When the gaited saddle horses were
called, none of the local entries re
sponded, and the competition was be
tween the Kansas City and Denver
horses, previously shown in a similar
class. First prize went to A. E.
Ashbrook's Bon Bon; second to G. E.
Palmer's Mack Donald, and third to
Mr. Ashbrook's American Beauty. Fol
lowing this event a highly entertaining
exhibition of high school riding was
given by C. B. Chamberlain, on Mack
Donald, and Fred Bork, on American
Beauty. This feature of the entertain
ment was heartily applauded.
. Ashbrook's Fine Trio.
In the competition for union teams
A. E. Ashbrook took first prize with
his horses, humorously named Tele
phone, Telegraph and Telawoman; and
G. E. Palmer second, with The Parad
er, Creighton and Glenwood. Those
were the only turnouts to appear at
the juncture in the programme when
the class was due, and both were much
admired by the spectators, the teams
being driven by the owners to park
phaetons. After they had retired, how
er, it was' announced that Fred Lara
mee, who was to have been a com
petitor, had arrived late, but would be
permitted by the management to ap
pear and take third prize. Mr. Laia
mee showed Robert the Devil, Mug
gins and Peter Cooper before a high
cart.
First prize for single coasters, trot-

that event C. B. Chamberlain gave an
exhibition of high school riding on
his highly aceompliehe* mare, Mar
garet Thatcher.
Local Equipage* Out.
The competition in the class for
brougham pairs brought out a good
representation of local equipages, all
of which appeared to advantage and
were much admired.
First prize in this class was taken
by G. E. Palmer, of Denver, with his
handsome and thus far unbeaten pair,
The Parader and Creighton, but the
other decorations were placed upon
pairs owned in St. Paul, second prize
going to Queen and Prince, exhibited
by, F. B. Kellogg, and third to Tom
and Jerry, exhibited by E. N. Saun
<lers. In this competition there were
also exhibited Richards Gordon's Brid
get and Barney, and Louis Laramee's
Robert the Devil and Muggins.
A highly pleasing diversion was fur
nished in a high-jumping contest, in
which the entries were Timber Topper
and Anthracite, owned by G. E. Palmer
and Thistledown, owned by A. E. Ash
brook. Timber Topper took first prize,
Thistledown second and Anthracite
third.
The road-four-ln-hand, postponed
from Tuesday, will be shown today,
the delay having been caused by the
fact that Mr. Palmer's coach required
some repairs, which could not be com
pleted •"■esterday.
Three Fast Races.
On the speed track there were three
races, the first two of which were
particularly well contested. In the
first one three heats were necessary
to decide, and all of the heats afford

terest lies in the fact that Mr. Brown
is in this case the United States Steel
corporation, while the zinc company
is the Standard Oil company. These
are the contending forces which do
not appear in the case. The case so
quietly disposed of and practically un
heard of has a distinct bearing upon
the industrial life of the country, in
volving directly the condition of of
the zinc market.
The case came up from Kansas from
the United Stats circuit court for the
district of Kansas on the motion of
the Lanyon Zinc company to suspend
the writ of injunction issued by Judge
Hook, of the United States circuit
court, district of Kansas, enjoining
the zinc company from using what is
known as the Brown patent for smelt
ing furnaces.
The United States circuit court of
appeals passed on the question of in
fringement of patent holding in favor
of Brown. On this decision Judge
Hook issued the injunction. The Lan
yon people served notice of appeal,
and as the appeal could not be heard
for three months, they wanted the
writ suspended until the appeal could
be decided.
Eminent Counsel Appear.
The importance of the case is at
tested by the character of counsel ar
guing the case. Dreyenforth, Dreyen
forth & Lee, appeared Tor Brown, and
the Lanyon people were represented
by Albert H. Walker, of New York,
and John H. Atwood, of Leavenworth,
both well known lawyers.
Judge Sanborn stayed the injunc
tion until Sept. 7, ana tne parties en
tered into a stipulation that the ap
peal be set for Sept. 1, before th&
United States circuit court of appeals
at Denver.
The Lanyon Smelting "Works at
lola, Kan., employ 800 people, and pro
duce one-third of the refined zinc out
put of the United States.
The Lanyon people claim that If the
injunction is operative during the ap
peal it will mean that their 800 em
ployes will be thrown out of work.
They further claim that the suit is an
attempt of the United States Steel cor
poration to corner the zinc market,
and that if the injunction were to hold
it would affect all industries in which
any zinc alloy is used.
The Lanyon plant operates with nat
ural gas, and because of this the com
pany is able, with the use of the so
called Brown patent, to produce cheap
er than Its competitors. The United
States Steel corporation is largely in
terested in another large smelter. It
is said that certain iron and steel
which the Lanyon company needs to
use in its work cannot be bought from
the Carnegie Steel company, which is
controlled by the United States Steel
corporation. This is alleged to be part
of the game to cripple the Steel trust's
leading competitor. With the Lanyon
company temporarily -crippled, the
Steel corporation could then operate
its own smelters to great advantage,
rid of the only competition which it
fears, because of its natural advan-
tages.
Since the original injunction was is
sued in March until June the price of
zinc has been steadily increasing.
