Protest Against
Color Line
By a i^nanimous vote at a meeting ^hen the matter was thoroaghly dis¬ cussed, the colored people of Freeport, especially in the Bennington Park sec¬ tion, have raised a protest against a recommendation of the special school committee which advocates a separate school for the negro children of the village. It is the claim of the negroes tbat tbe measure strikes at the very elements of American citizenship and is contrary to tbe Constitution of the United SUtes.
With various otber suggestions and recommendations this provisional School Committee, of which Rev. D. A. Jordan was chairman, included in its report to a special meeting of the I district, as noted in this paper, a [resolution drnwinc: the ccflor line. iTbis gruui) o, J.likens v.crc appointed by Hir>m R. Smith, who was chair- I man of a special school meeting at I which several propositions to build ad ditional schoois in Freeport were lo3t. Its purpose was to make a thorough investigation of school conditions and to report to the people at a future I meeting with recommendations for ne¬ cessary improvementa. t It is against that portion of the com¬ mittee's report which deals with the establishment of a negro school that the protest is made. The meeting was held in the Bethel A. M E. Church on Henry Street on Tuesday evening of last week, in charge of Rev. S. H. V. Gumbs, the paslor.
In a long address the preacher urged his people to make a stand against what he believes is a discrimination against the black race by the whites. A. S. Brown, who followed the pas¬ tor to the platform, explained that the idea of a separate school system had been attempted in Jamaica and Hunt ington without success and advised tfaat a committee be appointed from the meeting to take the protest before the Board of Education. The senti¬ ments of Pastor Gumbs and Mr. Brown was endorsed by Peter Johnson, a ver¬ satile colored man.
' Charles Boynton looked upon the matter of a separate school from a broader view point, emphasizing tbe need of to educational system that in

As .the former pastor of this church is now in India as a missionary, tbis service ought to be of interest to Hll who knew him as well a^ the many who are concerned about the spread of the Gospel in the heathen world. All are invited. The other services for the day are: 9:15 a. m., Sunday School session; 10:30 a. m., regular morning service.

Moore and Carrillo
Win Fame
Victor Move and Leo Carrillo added to their laurels of renown this week, according to the following items in the Brooklyn Eagle: MOORE IN FIGHT WITH SHARK. Victor Moore, who is summering in Freeport, had an exciting fight with an 80 pound sand shark Saturday after¬ noon, near the anchorage in Randall's Bay. Moore had been out fishing and when he started for home he threw some pieces of food from his boat, and he noticed the shark grab them. All the way home he threw some little fish over the side of the boat and the shark followed behind, devouring all that were thrown over. When Moore reached the anchorage, he decided to have some fun with the fish. He bait¬ ed a large hook with a mossbunker and threw jt. over. The shark greedily grabbed the smaller fish and the fight was on. It was nearly a half hour after the small fish. was thrown over that the shark tired and was drawn in.
CARRILLO RESCUES
DROWNING MAN. The cry of "help" from a man floundering in Sportsmen's Canal, off Gere's beach, startled nearly 800 bath¬ ers there Sanday aftemoon and brought Leo Carrillo, a member of .Freeport's actor colony and a champion swimmer, from his bath house. The man, Ches¬ ter Smith of Hempstead, was appar¬ ently being dragged beneath the sur¬ face. Carrillo soon reached the stragg¬ ling Smith. He was completely ex¬ hausted. "Don't bother with me now," he said, gasping. "Get the man under me. He's got a grip on nie." Tben while the man on the sur¬ face paddled to keep himself afloat, the actor life saver went down for the aecond man. Carrillo seised the sec* ond man and started ashore. Both were landed Mfely, bot it was necea¬ sary to apply fint aid to restore the man who bad sink. He was uncon¬ scious when brought ashore.

James J. Corbett, at one time the champion prizefighter of the world, gave an interesting talk on some of his experiences while he was travel¬ ing, showing the comic side of his travels. Mr. Corbett has a rich Irish dialect, and kept his audience in con¬ tinual laughter.
Possibly the most popular lumbers on the program were those of Fred A. Stone, of Montgomery & Stonp, and Victor Moore and Leo Carrillo in a "Bit of Boating," as these gentlemen were better known to the audience.
Mr. Stone gave his usual exhibition of contortion work, and a splendid ex¬ hibition in the use df the lasso, which could not be improved upon by any
ence. The play by Moore and Carrillo was written and produced especially for this occasion. These two gentle¬ men were supposed to be out in the bay in a motor boat, "The Never Went" and worked hard to get it go¬ ing, but were unable to do so, and Catholic Church of Our Holy Redeemer i«^«'"'"e8olving to sell the boat to

The following item was left with me on Tuesday and at firsi' I objected to publishing it, having no desire to "knock" any other village in this line. A fireman's life is a hard one without ng knocked from within. The writer, however, said he did not desire so much to knock our neighbors as he wanted to show those who criticized us that we knew something more about firefighting in Freeport than in other places of the same size. Here is his article:
To Editor: Dear Sir:—
Whiie waiting for a trolley in Hemp¬ stead about 5 p m. on July 11, the Hempstead fire alarm sounded for a fire which was in the rear of Washing¬ ton and Fulton Streets, in a barn.
The tiremen in answering the alarm were as good as going to a circus, as . almost ¦ ""** "^ **'** hose^Companies ran past 3

It is the claim of the negroes tbat tbe measure strikes at the very elements of American citizenship and is contrary to tbe Constitution of the United SUtes. With various otber suggestions and recommendations this provisional School Committee, of which Rev. D. A. Jordan was chairman, included in its report to a special meeting of the I district, as noted in this paper, a [resolution drnwinc: the ccflor line. iTbis gruui) o, J.likens v.crc appointed by Hir>m R. Smith, who was chair- I man of a special school meeting at I which several propositions to build ad ditional schoois in Freeport were lo3t. Its purpose was to make a thorough investigation of school conditions and to report to the people at a future I meeting with recommendations for ne¬ cessary improvementa. t It is against that portion of the com¬ mittee's report which deals with the establishment of a negro school that the protest is made. The meeting was held in the Bethel A. M E. Church on Henry Street on Tuesday evening of last week, in charge of Rev. S. H. V. Gumbs, the paslor. In a long address the preacher urged his people to make a stand against what he believes is a discrimination against the black race by the whites. A. S. Brown, who followed the pas¬ tor to the platform, explained that the idea of a separate school system had been attempted in Jamaica and Hunt ington without success and advised tfaat a committee be appointed from the meeting to take the protest before the Board of Education. The senti¬ ments of Pastor Gumbs and Mr. Brown was endorsed by Peter Johnson, a ver¬ satile colored man. ' Charles Boynton looked upon the matter of a separate school from a broader view point, emphasizing tbe need of to educational system that in News of the Churdiei Christ Evang.

Moore and Carrillo Win Fame Victor Move and Leo Carrillo added to their laurels of renown this week, according to the following items in the Brooklyn Eagle: MOORE IN FIGHT WITH SHARK. Victor Moore, who is summering in Freeport, had an exciting fight with an 80 pound sand shark Saturday after¬ noon, near the anchorage in Randall's Bay. Moore had been out fishing and when he started for home he threw some pieces of food from his boat, and he noticed the shark grab them. All the way home he threw some little fish over the side of the boat and the shark followed behind, devouring all that were thrown over. When Moore reached the anchorage, he decided to have some fun with the fish. He bait¬ ed a large hook with a mossbunker and threw jt. over. The shark greedily grabbed the smaller fish and the fight was on. It was nearly a half hour after the small fish. was thrown over that the shark tired and was drawn in. CARRILLO RESCUES DROWNING MAN. The cry of "help" from a man floundering in Sportsmen's Canal, off Gere's beach, startled nearly 800 bath¬ ers there Sanday aftemoon and brought Leo Carrillo, a member of .Freeport's actor colony and a champion swimmer, from his bath house. The man, Ches¬ ter Smith of Hempstead, was appar¬ ently being dragged beneath the sur¬ face. Carrillo soon reached the stragg¬ ling Smith. He was completely ex¬ hausted. "Don't bother with me now" he said, gasping. "Get the man under me. He's got a grip on nie." Tben while the man on the sur¬ face paddled to keep himself afloat, the actor life saver went down for the aecond man. Carrillo seised the sec* ond man and started ashore. Both were landed Mfely, bot it was necea¬ sary to apply fint aid to restore the man who bad sink. He was uncon¬ scious when brought ashore. but two bidders. Rider & Hansen, $1785 i and F. L. J.

Fair This Week The fair under the auspices of the star in "Miss Swift of New York" this coming season, sang several selec¬ tions from this new piece, and was en¬ cored repeatedly. Mr. Eltinge has a remarkable sympathetic voice, and was in high favor James J. Corbett, at one time the champion prizefighter of the world, gave an interesting talk on some of his experiences while he was travel¬ ing, showing the comic side of his travels. Mr. Corbett has a rich Irish dialect, and kept his audience in con¬ tinual laughter. Possibly the most popular lumbers on the program were those of Fred A. Stone, of Montgomery & Stonp, and Victor Moore and Leo Carrillo in a "Bit of Boating" as these gentlemen were better known to the audience. Mr. Stone gave his usual exhibition of contortion work, and a splendid ex¬ hibition in the use df the lasso, which could not be improved upon by any ence. The play by Moore and Carrillo was written and produced especially for this occasion. These two gentle¬ men were supposed to be out in the bay in a motor boat, "The Never Went" and worked hard to get it go¬ ing, but were unable to do so, and Catholic Church of Our Holy Redeemer i«^«'"'"e8olving to sell the boat to Tommy' Forbes, they swam to shore, in order to get home. The entertain¬ ment was supposed to conclude with dancing, and there were . some few dances, but as it was nearly 12 o'clock when the program was finished, there was not much left of the evening for the dancers. The Yacht Club and Messrs. Moore and Carrillo are to be congratulated on the success of this event. These two gentlemen are members of the Yacht i Club, and take much interest in its ; success.

It was decided to hold the annual parade and inspection of the depart¬ ment on Labor Day morning, as last year. The following item was left with me on Tuesday and at firsi' I objected to publishing it, having no desire to "knock" any other village in this line. A fireman's life is a hard one without ng knocked from within. The writer, however, said he did not desire so much to knock our neighbors as he wanted to show those who criticized us that we knew something more about firefighting in Freeport than in other places of the same size. Here is his article: To Editor: Dear Sir:— Whiie waiting for a trolley in Hemp¬ stead about 5 p m. on July 11, the Hempstead fire alarm sounded for a fire which was in the rear of Washing¬ ton and Fulton Streets, in a barn.
