Thompson, who is a laborer in the U. S. Customs, said that he was returning home at 11.15 p. m. on the night in question when three men approached him and told him that they had some good liquor at a low price. He followed them, he said, into an apartment at 66 West 138th street, where the men ordered him to throw up his hands, and then took his money, leaving the revolver behind. Grabbing the weapon, he said, he ran after them, and on meeting Bowden he thought it was one of his assailants. Just then, he said, Patrolman Franklin crept up on him from behind and knocked him down with a bill. Rowden did not appear to press the charge but Thompson was held in $2,500 ball, for the Grand Jury. Kills His Brother Following Quarrel Minneapolis, Minn. Jan. 20.

Irwin Davis of 2050 Madison Avenue, doesn't think so, how, ever. He thinks that the man who would do such a thing is the low,downest sort of a—well, Irwin would like to get just one good crack at him, and told the magistrate so. Officer Edward Butler said that when he entered Dav's soft drink place he found the whiskey under a table. He said that Davs showed great surprise at the assemblage of hooch and declared that some one of his customers had made the fatal error (fatal for both parties) of leaving it behind. Help Shortage Due to Dry Law, Claim (Washington, D. C. Jan. 23.—Rich white women of this city can attribute no other reason for the outward signs of wealth among Negroes than that they have taken to the profession of bootlegging instead of washing and ironing. According to a newspaper article in the local white papers the shortage of Negro domestic help is due to the Volstead law. The papers say: "This city, especially, in official circles and more especially in Southern official circles has always depended on female Negro help to keep homes cleaned and meals cooked and served and laundry neatly done up and children cared for. Before the passage of the Volstead Act there was a surplus of female Negro help." It is said that the wife of a southern senator remarked that, "I can't understand why Negro women won't work anymore. Why erstwhile laundresses, maids, cooks attired in the brightest rainbow colors are riding up and down Pennsylvania avenue in high priced automobiles casting scourn glances as they pass former employers. They simply scorn work. The reason for this sudden show of wealth is nothing less than bootlegging." THREE MEN AND WOMAN HELD FOR GRAND JURY Quartet Charged With Having Wall Street Slips in Their Possession. Charged with having Wall street slips in their possession the following were arraigned in the Washington Heights Court Monday morning: Samuel Lindon, 106 W. 140th street; Melbourne Clarke, 19 E. 134th street; Emanuel Baldez, 450 St. Nicholas avenue, and Catherine Moore, of 2100 Seventh avenue. All were held in $1,000 each for the Grand Jury. The slip that incriminated Catherine Moore had been found by Detective Martin Short stalking out of the pocket of her raincoat that was hanging in the elevator on which she worked. She denied that the slip was hers, but the fact that a letter supposedly from her sister was written on the back gave her away.

A case that has caused unusual comment because of the large amount paid in settlement considering slightness of the injuries, has been that of Lawrence Houston, of 2 West 138th street. Lawrence Houston and a girl companion were crossing 133rd street and Fifth avenue on the afternoon of May 20, 1922, when an automobile truck belonging to the Standard Tallow Company of New Jersey struck both of them, causing the death of the girl and injuries to Houston. He was immediately removed to Harlem Hospital, where he remained for three weeks and was discharged as cured. Abraham Oberstein, of 200 Fifth avenue, appeared as counsel for Houston. Immediately after the happening of this accident counselor Oberstein procured the arrest, and indictment of the chaufeur before the Grand Jury, and instead of awaiting this case to be reached in its regular order attorney Oberstein moved the Court for a preference which was granted and the case set for immediate trial, which saved his client the usual delay of about two years while awaiting a case to be reached in the Supreme Court. When the case was called for trial a few days ago. Attorney Oberstein announced that he was fully ready for an immediate trial. The attorneys for the Standard Tallow Company well knowing the legal capabilities of Counsellor Oberstein made overtures for a settlement of the action, which has now resulted in a settlement in the sum of Six Thousand Dollars. From the money's that young Houston has obtained he is now attending a private school. He has no parents but takes care of his grandmother, Mrs. Georgiana Robinson.

Thomas Dixon, author of "The Clansman," Monday night attacked the modern Klan as a dangerous movement, in a speech at a meeting under the direction of the American Unity League at the Century Theatre. Dixon condemned the priest Klan for its persecution of Negroes, Catholics, Jews and foreigners. He said that his authorship of "The Clansman," which was dramatized for the screen as "The Birth of a Nation," had led to a belief that he was connected with the modern Klan. "When organized a few years ago this modern Klan sent me an invitation to join," he said. "I promptly declined, and in my letter warned the organizers that if they threw to use the insurgent in a secret order (order today, with the courts of law working under a civilized Government), the end was (Continued on Page 2).

DIXON REPUDIATES KLAN Thirteen-Year-Old Colored Child Brutally Raped by White Man Who Is Hein Shoots Self On Train ALLEGED RAPIST IS INDICTED White Man Held Without Bail For Rape Upon 13- Year-Old Child in His Baltimore, Md., Jan. 23—William Creech, white, 312 N. Carey street, who on Wednesday, Jan. 10, is alleged to have criminally assaulted 13-year-old Josephine Williams while she was working for him in his home, was indicted by the Grand Jury this week, and waits trial in the Criminal Court for rape. Evidence at the hearing showed that Creech considered all girls working for him natural prey and that when the child repulsed him he not only brutally assaulted her behind locked doors in his home, but threatened to kill her if she made any outcry or divulged what had happened. According to a story told a reporter for the Afro-American by Mrs. Williams, mother of the child, Josephine went to work at the Creech home on December 26. A few days later he made advances, and when repulsed told her that girls who worked for him in the past had submitted to his demands. On January 10, when other members of the family were absent, he locked the doors and forced her into submission, telling her that he would kill her if she told what had happened. When Josephine went home she stated to her mother that she was ill and that she did not want to go back to the Creech home again, it was not until the mother had taken the child to Dr. W. F. Norvill, 119 N. Carrollton avenue, whose examination showed a brutal assault, that she told the full story of her treatment by Creech. At this time her condition had made it almost impossible for her to walk. Although denying the charge, Creech, who is a married man, is being held without ball for court action. When called to the attention of the State Attorney's office by a representative of the Afro-American paper, it was stated that while the matter had not yet been gone fully into it would be given that most vigorous prosecution.

He says that he found some of the missing articles in the defendant's suitcase, and that Evans was the only one who had access to the room in which the cut glass was kept. Evans pleaded not guilty. He declared that the fireman whose place he had taken had left the basement with a suitcase and two large packages some days before. He was held in $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury. Legal Notice.

New Bern, North Carolina, Negroes Fight Loss of Homes and Property New Bern, North Carolina, Negroes Fight Loss of Homes and Property Whites Preventing Rebuilding of Colored District Destroyed in Fire—Propose to Condemn New Bern, N. C., Jan. 23.—Colored residents of the City of New Bern, N. C., whose homes were burned in the recent disastrous fire, are fighting an attempt by white citizens to prevent their rebuilding their homes through condemnation proceedings which turn the colored section into a cemetery and park. Reports from New Bern state that the colored residents have not been permitted to rebuild their homes. A statement given out by a competent investigator asserts: Wife of Treasury Department Employe Ends Her Life. Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 22.—While a score of passengers were getting ready to get off the Northern Express train here at 10.40 last Saturday night, Mrs. Bessie Potter, aged 32 years, stepped into the vestibule between two coaches and shot herself. The bullet entered her heart and she died instantly. It is said that Mrs. Potter boarded the train in Philadelphia and sat in a day coach. As the train neared the station the passengers gathered near the front of the coach in order to get off as soon as the train stopped. Mr. and Mrs. Walter B. Doebler, however, remained in the rear of the coach. They saw Mrs. Potter get up and go into the vestibule. They said they heard several clicks like the snapping of a trigger, but thought then that she was rapping on the window of the coach. A moment later they heard a shot. Doebler ran into the vestibule and found Mrs. Potter on the floor apparently dead, and a 32-callbro revolver near her hand. The authorities say that they are unable to learn any motive for the suicide. It is said that Mrs. Potter was on her way to visit her brother-in-law, Arthur Jackson, who is seriously ill at his home in Steelton. Police say that Mrs. Potter is the wife of Ianel M. Potter, a watchman at the State Treasury Department. Mrs. Potter, before her marriage, was Miss Bessie Reed, living at 1304 Williams street, and was a graduate of the Central High School here with the class of 1907. She and her husband lived at 1325 North Fourth street. ACCUSED OF STRIKING ... MAN WITH-HATCHET William Weston, 36, 69 W. 99th street, was held for a further hearing when arraigned before Magistrate Smith, Harlem Court, charged by William Phillips, 170 W. 135th street, with having struck him on the head with a hatchet. According to Detectives Ryan and Unger, E. 14th street station, both men were employed in a bottling factory at 404 E. 104th street. On January 11, they became involved in a dispute during which Weston is alleged to have assaulted Phillips by striking him on the head with a hatchet. YOU CAN BUY AND SELL MOST ANYTHING IN THE AMSTERDAM NEWS "The City of New Bern is determined the burnt area shall not be rebuilt by, or for Negroes. It is proposed to condemn the land, ostensibly for cemetery and park purposes, but this is openly winked at as a subterrure to get rid of the Negro property owner. In the meanwhile, no building is permitted in the burned district and no provision is being made for a suitable location elsewhere. You can see the hardship this works on the lot owners; in many cases, all they have is tied up in this real estate, which will be a long time in litigation in the condemnation proceedings." City Lacks Funds. It is asserted that the City of New Bern lacks the necessary funds for condemnation proceedings, thus proving the measure to be a subterfuge to prevent the colored residents rebuilding their homes. Appeals to the white community having failed, the colored citizens have employed lawyers and are attempting by injunction the condemnation and seizure of their land. The report further states that the Negro districts that were not in the fire area are neglected and have no improvements whatever in the way of paving, lighting, sewerage, water supply and street car service. Those districts, it is as WREATH PLACED ON FRANKLIN'S STATUE Robert W. Bagnall Represents N. A. A. C. P. at Ceremonies. At the Benjamin Franklin Memorial Celebration, held on January 17, at Park Row, New York City, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was represented by Robert W. Bagnall Director of Branches, who in placing a wreath, presented by his organization, said: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People finds great pleasure in doing honor to the memory of Benjamin Franklin, who, in addition to being a great American patriot, philosopher, inventor and diplomat, was also the president of the first society formed in America for the abolition of Slavery. His words to the United States Congress—Liberty ought to be administered without distinction of color to all descriptions of people," and Congress should promote mercy and justice towards this distressed race might well be recalled as a salutary message to America today when sinister masked bands seek to spread denial of opportunity, and when the President of America's most balked university manifests a diplomatic racial intolerance."

Two police reserve officers William Wren, 31, white, or 2150 Eighth avenue, and Clarence F. Gross, 49, of 174 West 135th street, colored, were brought before Magistrate Oberwager Monday in the Washington Heights Court, charged with holding up Thomas Washington, of 200 West 133rd street, and Edward L. Gaines, of 145 West 133rd street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues. Both Washington and Gaines testified that they were going home last Sunday morning shortly after five o'clock when they saw both defendants going through the pocets of a man in front of the Public Library. They stopped to look they said, but the defendants ordered them on, but soon followed and after thrusting revolvers in their ribs went through their pocets. Finding only pocket knives, the alleged bandits started to take them to the station house, but finally decided to let them go. Patrolman Murant of the 38th Procinct station arrived on the scene and arrested both men. Gross, on the stand, declared that he and Wren had gone to the rescue of a girl who had been slapped by a man in front of the library when Gaines and Washington stopped to look. When they ordered both men on, Gross said that he saw Gaines put his hand in his overcoat pocket and make motions as if he had a gun, whereupon he decided to make a search in order to see. Both men admitted that they were off duty at the time. Neither could give any good reason for leaving the man who was alleged to have slapped the girl. They were held in $10,000 cash for General Sessions.

GARVEY ISSUES STATEMENT In a statement sent out a day or so ago, Mareus Garvey President of the University improvement Association says: "There is absolutely no truth in the statement of the New Orleans police that they have seized anarchistic literature at a meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The association has no such literature, neither does it preach hatred for any one. We have absolutely no connection with the murder of J. W. H. Eason, and the statement that Eason was a star witness against me is without foundation, for there was nothing the man could have said that would injure me. I have paid but little attention to the charge of using the mails to defraud, in that I know the whole affair to be a "frameup" among jealous negroes who have been trying for some time to embarrass me. There is no more loyal American organization than the Universal Negro Improvement Association." 526,000 Collected; Church in Row Court Issues Writ Forbidding Church Session Former Pastor Forced to Resign. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 22. The preside board of management of the metro-politan baptist church, with the but, scrapes, congregations at legal means with most of the constriction. The business meeting planned for last Tuesday ment by the board of control did not take place as had been previously announced by the temporary pastor, the Rev. T. A. Moore, who in other days is a carpenter. An injunction was issued by Chancellor Russell forboring this meeting on petition of members of the congregation. In his announcement last Sunday morning the Rev. Moore let it be known that the members of the congregation who are not ready to suffer by the wishes and policy of the board of control of the church would be shut out. This ugly situation has happened before, our congregation did not intend to let happen again. The board has run the pastor, the venerable Rev. J. G. Brown, by taking him into a closed office, it is alleged, and there forever inducing him to sign his resignation. The treasurer of the church is asked in the bill to give an accounting for $38,000 collected from the members to enlarge the church building. No statement of what has been done with the funds has been given, it is claimed. It is also claimed that he pays himself a salary and pays such bills as he sees fit from this building. Part of the church row, which has been gagged on for a long time, has to do with the desire of the board of control to build a church edifice on another lot, while a majority of the members in the other faction want to stay where they are.

The essay brought together for the first time a critical review of the mental tests and the measurements of intelligence as applied to Negro school children and a systematic summary of the army intelligence tests as applied to Negro recruits and officers in the World War. The investigations upon which the paper was based were combined to the Keith, Moseley, Douglas and Doolittle elementary schools and to the prevocational department of the Wendell Phillips High School. The essay gives a sordid picture of conditions in Chicago's second school children with a suggestion on how secondary education for Negro youth may be made more effective in large northern cities. Since returning to the New York schools from the Chicago system last October, Mr. Huggins has become a member of the Philosophical Society of New York University and the New York Society for the Study of Experimental Educa- NEGRO AUDITOR OF WHITE CORP. WEDS Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 22—Announcement has been made that Frank W. Fowler, who has been auditor for the Hillman, Coal & Coke Corporation, a million-dollar concern, for a number of years, is married to Miss Alma Bess, a popular society girl here and in Cleveland, on Saturday afternoon. January 20th. Miss Bess has been employed in the Allegheny County Recorder of Deeds office for the past seven years. She has been active in a number of charitable agencies here and is active in social welfare as well as popular in society CITIZENS FIGHT LOSS OF HOMES (Continued from Page 1.) sorted, into which the Negro suffers from the fire are to be forced to move, have surface toilets and the pumps for drinking water are in close proximity, the water coming within a few feet of the surface. The report censures the attitude of the white citizens of New Bern in the following terms: Citizens May Leave. "The white people of New Bern in this crisis do not seem to feel any sense of duty in providing for the housing of their Negro citizens and are blind to their economic value. New Bern has no white labor and herein is the only way out that lies in the Negro himself; quietly organize and leave New Bern. This has been hinted but the white people do not take it seriously. The only other way is for New Bern to be brought to a realization of the injury it will do itself in the eyes of the country if it carries on its present policy." In the course of the skid by colored residents to retain their property and home sites, resolutions were passed and published in a newspaper and in the armory of the Enemption Proclamation, protesting against the injustice being done New Bern colored citizens, and stating: "The proposed condemnation for park and纪念馆 will work a grievous hardship and injustice upon the colored people, making it impossible for many of them ever to build again in improved and sanitary localities accessible to the conferences enjoyed by the average white taxpayer." NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WED., JANUARY 22, 1970 Found Dead With Gas Turned On William M. Morgan of Philadelphia Dies in Burlington, N. J. Philadelphia, Jan. 23.—Church, social and fraternal circles were severely shocked Wednesday when the sad news was flashed from Burlington, N. J., that Wm. M. Morgan, one of Philadelphia's most prominent citizens, had been found dead in bed in the home of Samuel Chase, No. 50 West Pearl street, where he boarded from gas poisoning. It is believed that the death was an accidental one. There was no evidence of suicide, and no reason why the man should take his life. Morgan had many friends in Burlington and was quite popular. He was keenly interested in music and some months ago staged a successful concert in the Grand Army Hall, Lawrence street, for the benefit of the building fund of the Zion Wesley A. M. E. Church. Funeral arrangements are in charge of Oliver H. Bair. Rev. Rev. Lloyd Imes conducted the funeral services at Central Presbyterian Church at 1 p.m. Monday. Mr. Morgan was a trustee of Central Presbyterian Church, a position he held for many years. He was one of the veteran member of the Citizens' Republican Club and the Sons of St. Thomas. Mr. Morgan was born in Lynchburg, Va. where he was married to Miss Lillie Jones, who, with his brothers, Howard and Richard, of Pittsburgh, survive him. MOB TURNS SUSPECT OVER TO OFFICERS Arrested on Suspicion of Murder. ing White Woman. (Preston News Service) Columbia, S. C., Jan. 23—The mysterious death of a white woman at Olar, a small town near here, caused the arrest of Thomas Johnston as a suspect. He was lodged in jail last Wednesday morning and that night a mob of whitmen took him from the jail and carried him to a small thicket with the usual intent of making a pendulum of him by tying a slippeose around his neck and allowing his body to swing in the air from the end of the suspended rope. But somehow their conscience would not allow them to carry out their premeditated plan and they simply "talked and talked" to Johnston and then turned him over to the officers. It is believed Johnson will await trial in connection with the murder of the woman at the special term of court at Bramberg, which will convene shortly. 100 GOSNEY'S GENUINE ASPIRIN TABLETS 5 GRAIN, 35 CENTS By Mall, Prepaid.

Acids in Stomach Cause Indigestion Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How To Treat Medical authorities state that nearly uncontrolled of the cases of stomach trouble, ingestion, sourness, burns, gas, blasting, mause, are due to an excess of its chloroacid in the stomach and not some believe to a back of disgust, just because it cause stomach irritation, distressed, layed and food soars, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestions are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any dugging a few ounces of Illustrated Magnesia and take a teaspoon in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Illustrated Magnesia on powder or tablet form—never liquid or is harmless to the health—is therefore the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of acidism.

Ho IBGE ESBS vas snot without human weakness, which is particularly observable in; 4 these words, ‘O, my Father, if It bs “ possible, [et this cap pass from me."—and, My God, my God, Why hatt Thou forsaken me.’ Master Jesfs must come to the conclusion that He really meant ~: the contemplation of God within Himself, when He said, “Behold the kingdom of God ts within you.” Now let us go back to the time of Christ and His teachings, He was murdered by a Jewish - mob, Why? Because He called Himself the Son of God. The, Jews answered Him, “We have 2 law and by our law He ought to dle, tecause He made Himself the Son of God.” Jesus, the Master, was crucified because He taught that God Iles within a man and that man and God are one. I am the Son of God. The churches today which pretend to understand and teach the wis- dom of this great Master close their doors to any person who.” would dare to teach or profess that God and man’s power Is to help himself—there you have It--Jjust think it over, and you'll .. seo that the churches today, owing to ignorance, are In the same-~ position towards the teachings of Christ as were the Jews, King Pilate, the Scribes, Elders and Chief Priests who murdered: - Christ. Still, we are told that this same God commanded; “That shalt not kiN” If this be true, why did He excite mankind. whom = He was trying to teach to sin no more, to commigstich a das. stardly murder? Many will say that this was God's pi alien fallen humanity. Here we have the came old threadworn story It would be far more sensible to say that the death of Jesus was due to the vengeance of selfish men: for we find in Hindu writ. ings that the Guddhist Messiah was born of a virgin. The Oriental myth about the Buddhist Messiah and the Christian view of the birth of Jesus are identical, the only difference being, one ‘Is an Oriental myth and the other Christian dogma, When the statement is made that Christ was a Master, It means, literally speaking, that Christ was Master of Himself, educated and trod the path, receiving the instruction of the Masters in India and the Orlent. This Is a well-known fact and Is also a matter of record that Christ did belong to the ancient schoo! of India. The Wise Man of the East, | am PROF. AKPAN AGA, NATIVE OF AFRICA. Jesus’ great desire was to teach mankind to believe not in God, but in Himself. Christ repeatedly told those around Him, and it Is a matter of record the Scriptures that no man has ever seen God, that God is within — me, and within you. You have nelther heard His volce at any. time nor seen His shape. Come now, my time is limited.

When the boys of the Alpha of 47 to 36. The game was fast Physical Culture Club went out and thrilling throughout. The withdrawal of the Spartan big team from the field leaves the burden of the big local matches with the teams in the association over here in Greater New York between the Boroughs, Alpha and St. Christopher, and from present indications these teams intend to "carry on" in spite of adverse comment. Those who are desirous of witnessing the games and dancing under an atmosphere to which they have been accustomed all these years will find the same old atmosphere at New Star Casino Friday night when Alpha lines up against St. Christopher. Interest in this game is also evident in New Jersey, the Titans holding up the amateur end in that stage and a large delusion will accompany the boys led by Dr. Snythe and attorney J. Mercer Durell to see how their prospect the opponents will shape up and to get a line on them for the battles when they both decide to enter the mosquito B. A. C. Breaks Even An ankleweights "Conquer Alpha Moguls," but "Lightning Pive" forced to Bow to Philadelphia "Y" In a fast and thrilling game last Friday night at Larry Lyceum the B.A. Gleason lightweights revenged their older brothers by defeating the crack Alpha "Moguls." The Brooklyn youngsters were forced to the limit all the way, but led from start to finish, the final score being 37-30. The Philadelphia Y M. C. A. team, fresh from their recent victory over Alpha "Big Pie," showed that victory was not nukke by leading the Brooklyn champions home by a safe margin. The Brooklyn boys not away in front, but their lead was short lived as the Quaker City boys hit their stride after the first ten minutes and were never headed again. The final score showed the Big "Y" team victors by a wide margin, 40-21. The presence of such stars as Tucker, Nanton and Carrol of Alpha "Big Fwe" did not upset the B.A. C. Lightweights in the opening game. Led by Capt. "Buster" Brown they lost no time in starting the fireworks. After a few minutes of play Brown put his team in the lead by caging one from the floor and followed it up with two more before the New York boys could count. The half way mark found B.A. C. leading 18 to 10. Alpha started the second half with a determination to turn defeat into victory and the last part of the game was a hard fought struggle until the last minute. Several sensational shots by Tucker and Carrol of Alpha, Alpha, Alpha, Brown, Stevens and young Monde continued to score enough to hold the lead for the boys across the bridge. Brown set the pace in scoring for the victors with 19 points to his credit, Stevens was next in line with 8 and Monde with 6. Tucker, caged 7 field goals and led for Alpha. The Philadelphia "L" boys displayed some of the fastest basketball that has been seen in the amateur ranks in some time; and gave the Damon "Lightning Five" the surprise of their lives. The "Y" boys were real speed boys and when they hit their stride they set a whirlwind pace. Every member of the victors seemed able to score with equal case. In the first half it was Campbell who did most of the scoring, while in the second half it was Clinton and Yancey who did most of the damage. Overcoming a four point lead that Brooklyn held for a while on goals by Wilson and Scott, the "Y" boys sped away and led at the end of the half 21-8. The Borough A. C. rallied in the second half, pulling the lead down to a 26 to 21 score. Jude when the Brooklyn supporters were taking heart and pulling for a victory, the Philadelphia team turned on more gas, and scored fourteen points in the final six minutes. TITANS DEFEATED BY. ST. MARKS An A. C. seniors went down to the Gate St. Marks team at Anderson by the score Father Plunket's boys started in the lead and never relinquished it through the entire game, despite the desperate attempts on the part of Manager Burrell's players. It must be said that those Jersey boys did fight hard. Three times did they come within a market of tying the score, but sensing the danger, the Catholic boys would exert extra pressure and forge further ahead. With the score 17 to 4 against them, Ray replaced a member of the Titans. He immediately shot two beautiful long shots and, with this encouragement, the Titans scored 11 points in four minutes, ending the first half trailing the St. Mark's boys by only two baskets, 19 to 15. To open the second half, the Harlem boys again got away to a fast start. But the tenacity of the Jersey boys had to be reckoned with. Twice during the half, Burrell's charges were within a dance of tying the score. Finally, with the score at 36-34, Freeman, of St Mark's, cut down the floor and shot a basket. This sealed the fate of the "Squeeters" for they scored but one field goal after that. Another feature of the game was the accurate foul shooting on both sides. Taylor To Meet McVey And Little Jack Johnson Will Attempt to Strut His Stuff Against Steve Marcon Matchmaker Bonnie Wright has arranged another card that should meet with instant favor at the hands of the boxing fans here and in points not far removed, the card to be topped by Sandy Taylor, who will face Jack McVey, the latter a youngster who defeated Mike Carrier, Johnnie and George Bush all within a month and whose improvement has been the wonder of the fans. McVey and Taylor will meet at the 15th on January 30, on the same bill that will bring together Linda Jack Johnson and Steve Marion, the truce boy the youngster who has been knocking the opponent for quite some time. Last night, Willie St. Clair clair Johnnie Moseley, of Philadelphia, while Roy Taylor crossed bats with Battling Willie Powell. Last week we had the pleasure of gazing on K. O. Lew, Williams for the first time and if ever he used to knock them cold we are wondering what kind of fighters they were—that is, judging by the rotten showing he put up against Sailor Darden, who got tired boating and pounding upon the K. O. person. The bout was stopped and given to Darden. For February 6 the fans are promised a return engagement between Larry Estridge and Alex. (Kid) Gibbons. This is going to be a much harder fight than the last one, as it is dollars to doughnuts Alex. is going after Estridge in a more convincing manner. French Boxing Solons Plaster Thick Whitewash Ove Georges Paris, Jan. 22.—The whitewash has been thickly lathered over Georges Carpenter. Siki has been handed a black eye and the prestige of the white imperialist nations, Britain, France, Italy, etc., has been artificially bolstered up by the decision just handed in by the French Boxing - Federation's Committee of Investigation to the effect that Georges Carpenter did not try to frame his fight with the report, announced by the Federation today, against Georges and also acquits his manager, Francois Descamps, as well as Maurice Hellers, who was Siki's manager at the time of Carpenter's knockout. Thus is whitewashed the scandal which Siki provoked when he, rebelling against the color line, declared that he was supposed to take a knockout in the fourth round but changed his mind and, fighting back, won the world's light heavyweight championship in such fashion that Georges was confined to his home for several weeks following the bout.

A bonafide challenge was sent to nim by wire by the owners of the Commonwealth Five and the offer they made could not be beaten in any part of the world. The Pittsburgh Courier said last week that some day the sporting editor would be able to write about Pittsburgh without mentioning Posey. Perhaps that day when they place somebody else at the head of the Loendi team—somebody who will not engage in stretching the truth like the little Cumberland. Speaking of Pittsburgh forces us to ask why they do not appoint men like Ira Lewis and William Nunn to direct the destinies of a club like Loendi. At least to make arrangements for games with teams in these parts. We all think the world of these men and they can do much to help keep up the interest in basketball from the highest standpoint. So "Fat" Jenkins again showed the stuff of which he is made when he brought home the bacon Sunday night! Yet Posey told the world he is one of the rottenest players in the country. "Gum" want so far at to say Georgie Fiall, "Fat" Jenkins, "Specks" Moton, et al., were all bushers in basketball. Yet Posey tried his best to get the first two and was unable to hold "Specks" when he had him. St. Christopher and Alpha will again face each other in a battle that should be as thrilling as any we have seen among the amateurs for some time. These two teams are engaged in a race for supremacy here in Gotham and it will be worth the price of admission up Friday night to see them in action. We haven't seen J. Mercer Burrell since the week we failed to hold out further hopes for the M. B. A. We wonder what has become of the Royal Ghanchellor? There isn't enough basketball in New Jersey these days to keep him busy unless he is busy enjoying the antics of Burke and his Puritan team which, they tell me, will appear at the Orange Armory on February 12. "Our Boy" Big Bill Townsend had his hands full last season with this Puritan bunch and when we tried to collect a bill he switched us on to Burke, who failed to give us a tumble. We wonder if they have improved since those days of yesteryear? A writer on one of the big Pittsburgh dailies gave it as his opinion that Jess Willard must have seen Tex Rickard "aping on the green" or something as Tex revives the Willard scare every time he thinks the people are sleeping. Something funny. In the face of the harsh thing being said of the big piece of cheese you would imagine that Rickard would be disgusted and arrange a real match for the Garden, but he insists on having Jess and Dempsey in the old waltz and the "superior race" hates us so they would rather see this bum match than a real fight—so Tex tells us. Jack Dempsey says when the public demands that he crawl through the ropes to face Harry Wills then and then only will he face the "Black Panther." We wonder if the public advises Dempsey personally about the matter. Perhaps everybody sends him a post card advising him what to do. Jack is simply pulling a Posey on us to get out of a real fight. He must have been taking lessons from the Pittsburgh wonder in ducking when danger threatens and we tell the world he is an apt pupil. If Roy Morse shows the same speed as a member of the Amsterdam News staff as he did on the cinder path, then we have nothing further to say about the success of the paper. All we ask is speed and Roy is supposed to tote it with him. To add to his ability Roy can be seen most any day speeding in the new car of the Amsterdam News. And it is quite some good looking boat, I'll tell the world. The reason why our rivals in this town seem to hop on those "suit things" every time we print the news must be because the Amsterdam News is showing some real stuff in these days. Any time the staff finds it necessary to make a quick dah a real up to date car shoots off from the curb on a special mission bent. Then, too, you will find more advertisements on one page of the Amsterdam News than in the entire issue of all the other rivals published in these parts. No wonder they like to tell the world when somebody thinks he has a grievance against the Amsterdam News. Paul Robeson blew in last Tuesday night to give us an earful anent his plans for the season. Paul is satisfied that he will make good as a member of the Commonwealth Five and we are with him in this. As we stated some weeks ago, Paul has as much desire to enter the roped arena as we have to take an airship to the North Polo. In fact, Paul resents the idea of being written up in this style and he is surprised that the sunday papers out West fell for the bull from the Evening Mail go fast. Concert and Dance STAGED BY.

PACE PHONOGRAPH CORPORATION 228g Seventh Ave. New York City That those failing to attend the games at the Commonwealth Casino Sunday nights are missing much was very apparent this past Sunday evening when the largest crowd of the season was thrown into a wave of enthusiasm by one of the fastest and best games of basketball that was ever played on one of our courts. While it is true that enthusiasm has been rife at many of the games engaged in by the Commonwealth Five since the start of the now popular team, nothing can compare with that which broke loose last week when our boys pulled a game out of the fire and won from one of the best white teams in the country. Fully aware that the local boys were up against one of the best teams in the country when they were matched with the Italian Catholic Five. Gotham turned out in large numbers to see if our boys were still keeping to the pace which they have set themselves at the spacious casino. The contest proved conclusively that the boys under the guidance of the McMahon brothers are not at all lacking in the appreciation of the work cut out for them, for they faced the visitors with the confidence that means much to a successful team and when the smoke of battle had cleared away they were winners by the small margin of two points, the score being 26-24 in their favor. And it took an extra five minute period before the team knew which should receive the palm, for the game at first ended in a tie when both decided they would abide by the referee's ruling and play it off. It was at this stage of the game that the enthusiasm of the people reached its highest, for they knew that every point "counted like a million" and after battling for all they were worth, it was left to the former St. Christopher ace. Clarence (Fat) Jenkins, to again come from the rear with that well known rush and electrify the multitude with the shot that won the game. Slated to Meet Celtics. Stated to Meet Celtics. When announcement was made that at last the McMahon brothers had decided the time had come when they would send their boys against the world beating Celtics, pandemonium broke loose and colored Harlem registered its approval in no uncertain terms. This is really the game toward which both players and fans are been looking forward. Mr. Furey, manager of the Celtic Flive, has been making the trip to the Common- wealth Casino to see his prospective opponents, and on Sunday night when the colored boys won from the Catholic Italian Five, he voiced the opinion that the local players should enjoy a most successful career as the enthusiasm at their victory should act as encouragement to them. He is also of the opinion that the promised clash between his team and the Commonwealth which is slated for March 4 will be a hair raising one. He said he would be present when the Commonwealth play their return game with the Catholics in the near future. Team to Play St. Michaels. The followers of the games on Sunday nights will be given another treat the coming Sunday evening when the Commonwealth Five play a return game with the crack St. Michael Five. These white boys defeated the local colored players a little more than a week ago by the score of 38-34 and are coming here prepared to repeat if they can. It is no secret that any team defeating the crack Commonwealth Five at this time can very well afford to boast of such a victory, for our boys are now hitting their stride and going great guns. That the combination of Flail, Forbes, Jenkins, Hubbard, Slocum and Robeson will soon be receiving the honors that come to a real team can be readily seen, and it is more than likely that before they are together two seasons will have played around the country by special quest of the best teams in America. Leon Monde had a splendid opportunity for remaining a member of this great aggregation of players, but, we are told, he did not hold himself in check when decisions which he thought adverse were given the team and the owners "let him out." Is Posey Really Afraid Is Posey Heavy Afraid? After their victory on Sunday night over the Italian Catholic Five, hundreds of fans were of the opinion that Leoendt Five, with Posey Five and the firming genius (2) of the Pittsburgh players were apparently afraid to meet the New York team now holding forth in Harlem. In a letter to the sporting editor of the Amsterdam News the early part of last week, Posey said he had never been made an offer to meet the Commonwealth Five. However, we are in a position to know that the owners of the Commonwealth Five wired Posey the best offer that has been made to a Harlem Conservatory of Music 257 Lenox Ave. at 123rd St. Tel.

If within the next few days the owners of the New York club falls to receive an answer from the Pittsburghians we will know then for a certainty that they are truly scared of meeting the Commonwealth Five. The Pittsburgh Courier, in an editorial last week, went on record as not only being in favor of such a match, but going so far as to assert that the season should not pass without a game between these two teams. Loenil claims the world colored basketball championship, and he says Commonwealth will naturally give our team, the championship by de fault in spite of any loss sustained by teams which might have won from our boys early in the season. The Commonwealth are not drawing the line on any basketball team and better still, they are not picking referees. When engaged in a contest they play like true sportsmen, leaving the picking of referees to their opponents as they do not believe, like a certain club in Pittsburgh we have in mind, they are going to be robbed. Then too, we notice that no watch-grabbers ever accompany our team when en tour. LAURA & HARRY Prampin 131 W. 136th St, N. Y. C.

Vaudeville and Pictures at Local Harlem Theatres FINE PICTURES AT THE FRANKLIN Rodolph Valentino and Wanda Hawley Are Lovers in "The Young Rajah". A splendid contrast is afforded by Wanda Hawley and Rodolph Valentino, leading woman and star of "The Young Rajah," a Paramount picture coming to the Franklin for three days commencing today. Miss Hawley is a blonde of the Dresden shepherdess variety; Valentino is, of course, dark and Latin in appearance. They make a very pleasing picture as lovers in this strange screen isle. A moment of brilliance, a mad tumult, a riot of color, of naked blades, of falling figures, of victors triumphant upon the throne they have usurped—that's your tiny revolution in the small Indian state. A night of storm and fury in New England—and an old couple ready for bed; a knocking at the door; two dark men with a child standing dripping upon the threshold; jewels poured from a bag; stack of banknotes—a farewell and a small miserable Hindu lad who strives to hide his tears at parting from the only friends he has known—that's the story of the adoption. The gift of provision—he sees his own death—his own meeting with the girl he learns to love; but he is rescued by faithful retainers in the nick of time. Then he sees in a vision the marriage of himself and his beloved in Hindu fashion—with all the wealth of gorgeous color and ceremony. The vision of the battle in the clouds in the years of ancient Hindu history, when Arjuna, commanded by Krishna, slays father and brother for the good of the race, is one of the most striking things ever portrayed on the screen; the same for the heavenly meeting between Arjuna and Vishnu. And by clever double exposure, Valentinio plays both roles. It is a picture that will repay a visit to the theatre if only to study the possibilities of the screen. But there is also good acting on the part of Valentino, of Wanda Hawley, Charles Ogle, Fanny Midgety, Pat Moore, Robert Ober, Edward Johnson, Joseph Swickard, and others. GUYOLIVERA MUSICIAN There are plenty of actors who can't play a trombone. There are even more trombone players who can't act. But Cecel B. Da Mille succeeded in finding a man who could do both for a small piece of comedy business in his latest Paramount picture "Manslaughter," which will be the attraction at the Franklin Theatre this Saturday for one day only. The actor-musician is Guy Oliver, veteran character actor. He is a member of the Famous Players-Lasky stock company and one of the mainstays of the studio orchestra where he plays his favorite instrument—the trombone. Mr. Oliver shares screen honors with Leatrice Joy who, with Thos. Melghan and Lols Wilson, heads the all-star cast of "Manslaughter." Between them they are responsible for a bit of genuine laugh-making acting that is part of the comedy relief in an otherwise serious interpretation of the story which Jeanie Macpherson adapted from Alice Duer Miller's novel of the same name. Amateurs at Douglas Hall Professor Anderson Introduces Another Innovation at His Class on Wednesday Evening H commencing last Wednesday night, Prod. Charles H. Anderson introduced an innovation which seems to meet with the approval of those attending his weekly classes at New Douglas Hall. Amateur night in the past at local theatres used to be a feature that drew hundreds to see the fun of the would-be actors and actresses. Genial Charlie hit upon the plan of reviving amateur nights and the old-fashioned gathering turned out to the hall where he holds forth and had an unusually pleasant evening enjoying the fun as furnished by the prize box. Wheels on the tight many more are expected to compete. To add to the evening's enjoyment, there is dancing, and the music is of the heat. Although many competitors have tried to put the rollers under Prof. Anderger, the continues to draw fine houses and from all appearances the will be catering to his followers long after the schenors will have passed from the amusement field.

From Broadway to New Star Casino is the schedule for the fampus "Liza" company, the sensational musical comedy now appearing at Daly's 63rd Street Music Hall, on Sunday night, February 4th, when Henry Wilson, promoter of the "Shuffle Abong" and "Plantation" affairs, officers to the public a popular Sunday night concert and dance, in which all of the principals of the great production will positively appear on the program. The concert music will be under the direction of Lleut. Tim Brymn, while the renowned composed, Maceo Pinkard, and his "Liza" Orchestra will furnish the dance music. Gertrude Saunders, the leading lady, with the assistance of an aggregation of incomparable performers, including Margaret Sims (Liza herself), Greenlee and Drayton, former big timers on the Keith circuit, Maude Russell, Elizabeth Welch, Eddie Rector, the world's greatest buck and wing dancer, Bob Lee, the former "Strut King" of "Shuffle Along," now with "Liza," and the remainder of the Liza flappers. Come out and have a good time with them. Messrs. Maceo Plinkard and Irvin C. Miller, producers of the show, say the demand for boxes is the greatest in the history of Sunday night concerts, and the affair will surpass any of its kind ever staged in New York. Henry Wilson, Walter Hunter and George Buckner will have charge of arrangements and the floor. Without these, no occasion is complete. MONARCHS AT MADISON SQUARE Joy Will Be Unconfined When the Happy Elks Gather for One of Their Biggest Events The real event in lodge and other circles will take place at Madison Square Garden next Tuesday night when Monarch Lodge of Elks, one of the most popular in the country, treks to Madison Square Garden to engage in what will without do not be one of the biggest nights ever recorded in the history of Elkdom. Preparations have been going on for the past month or more for this big affair and the committee in charge of the entertainment end left no stone unturned in trying to make this a night such as Gotham has seldom seen. It is quite an undertaking to secure Madison Square Garden in these days, and it takes an organization with the following which the Monarchs boast to attempt such a thing. From early evening until early morning joy will be unconfined. Word has been received from East adelphia, Baltimore. Connection and other nearby places that delegations will be on hand. Of course, the boys are coming from every nook and corner of Greater New York and New Jersey and those who fall to be on hand when the ball starts rolling will have something to regret for, a long time to come. FLASHES WIN TWO OF THREE GAMES The St. Mark's Flashes won two of three games, played in successive days. They defeated the Titans in West Orange on Thursday, 47-36; lost to St. John's at Kingsbridge, 43-33, the next night, and kept in front of the Ozarks on Saturday night, 34 to 30. After a hard battle in West Orange, Thursday, the Flashes were able to pile a 10-point lead in the first half, which was a bit more than the Flashes could overcome in their condition. On Saturday night, fired by the thought of one defeat at the hands of the Ozarks earlier in the season, the Flashes started off like a whirlwind, but the Bronx boys fought tooth and nail to the end.

NEW YORK About Things Theatrical Rowdyism at the Lafayette Theatre last Monday night spoiled the enjoyment of many of the patrons witnessing the vaudeville show, and as ill fortune would have it, these young bums were at their worst when the beat acts came on. This is not the first time that these gallery hoodlums have carried on to the disgust of the people sitting in orchestra seats and many are wondering why the management of the Lafayette Theatre never nipped the actions of these unruly youngsters in the bud. For the past few months even before the curtain rises on a show a howl of anticipation of "razzing" from the gods can be heard and woe be unto the performer who loses his or her nerve while attempting to "put over" his or her work. It is indeed a sad commentary that within the past two years some of the theatres catering to our people here in Harlem seems to have lost that control which is so evident in the better class of houses. In extenuation some of the managers will try to tell you how the same thing is done at some of the other theatres, but the truth of the matter is when such things happen elsewhere they never hesitate to call on the police department to oust those who are disturbing the peace. At one of the theatres we have in mind where we weekly make our pilgrimages in search of enjoyment, some of the ushers should never be allowed to "ush" in a theatre. While the show is going on one can hear them in deep conversation with their friends. Sometimes "crash artists" are constantly coming and going out of the theatre, carrying on in a bolsterous manner and the owners are either afraid to put a stop to them or are not interested in the comfort of their patrons to the extent of calling the hands of their employees and their unthinking friends. If these people allow rowdies to continue to show their ill breeding in these amusement places they will soon find their theatres catering to empty seats. It took more than five years to get people to cross the line to the once Palace Casino where the Fordon Brothers held forth in the days when the bums from the army and navy made night hideous. Along with cutting hair it's a pity barbers wouldn't cut conversation. Barber shops would make fine training schools for auctioneers. An artilleryman had a massage and shampoo recently and it cost him his hearing. It seems a barber shop is the most popular place for a lying contest. It's the only place where men make it a practice of lying while standing up. Last week it took me ten minutes to let my barber know what I wanted. He couldn't hear me above the din so I wrote him a note. Never flirt with your barber's wife and if you owe him money, pay it before your next shave. Maxim made a silencer for guna. Had he lived longer, he no doubt would have invented one for Barbers and their customers. Every customer in a barber shop has a great story. Number one lost a cool million, invested in lace cuspidors; number two was a bosom friend of the Prince of Wales; number three chopped down the South Pole for kindling wood and number four licked Dempsey in a private fist fight, with one hand. All in all, everyone present is a wonder. When a writer wants material, he grabs a pad and pencil and seeks the nearest barber shop. In a barber shop, everyone talks at the same time. The loudest voice gets the first hearing. Some day an enterprising barber will build a gallery in his shop and sell reserved seats. And should this become a custom there would be no need of theatres. Deaf and Dumb men would get all the trade if they were barbers.

If we are to judge by the slim houses which have been greeting the good bills at the Lafayette, vauderville is not making such a hit with the patrons of this house these days. However, nothing else being in sight, the Coleman brothers are doing their best to continue to please the large number of Harlemites who have been patronizing the Lafayette and the variety entertainment offered is deserving of better support than has been given during the past week or two.

Gaining momentum with each day since its birth, the Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Clubs held another important contest at the "Y" building in Philadelphia, January 20. Chairman Bolden issued the call and the result was a full quota. The Association's Board of Commission, which has already gained favor because of the equal distribution of the organization's government, was intact. Commissioners: Thomas Jackson of the Bacharach Giants; James J. Keenan of the Lincoln Giants; Charles P. Speddan of the Baltimore Black Sox; Alexander Pompez of the Cuban Stars; Nat C. Strong of the Brooklyn Royal Giants and Edward Bolden of the Hildale Club, comprised the board. Shake Up in Hildales John Cray Lloyd Signed to Lead Cray Philadelphia Club This Year John H. Lloyd, the veteran shortstop, and one of the greatest players in baseball today, will pilot Hildale in 1923. In Lloyd, as captain, Hildale will have a man who has initiative and executive ability and believes in strict discipline backed up by loyalty. Downs, Francis, White, Haynes, Gillespie and Richardson were dropped in the shakeup and some new men will be seen in Hildale uniforms in an effort to cop the fate of the Hildale Club. The problem of drafting a well balanced schedule is a matter of much concern to the Eastern mongols, with this in view a committee has been appointed to effect a lay-out that will be advantageous to all of the circuit members. In all probability the curtain will be raised on or about April 28, when the clubs that play at home on Saturday's will open up, while the clubs that stage Sunday engagements will get going the following day. Realizing that arbitration is one of the most essential factors in maintaining a first class brand of baseball and absolutely necessary to gain the confidence of the public, the Commissioners are determined that this phase of the game shall be thoroughly covered by having competent, unbiased umpires to officate in all games. To this end all arbitrators will come under the direct jurisdiction of the Commissioners and also be rested with authority to run the games without motation from players or managers. Speculation is rife among the fans regarding the ultimate outcome of the coming league race and just where the championship putting will finish is a matter that time alone will decide. With the material that the respective clubs now have in line, the going will be pretty stiff and picking the winner will be about as difficult as putting your money on the proper "hang tail."

The First Naval Militia Big Five of New York went down to defeat at the hands of the Oriental "Speed Merchants" last Saturday night, at the New Rochleigh High School, in one of the best games contested in the Huguenot City. The white sailorbows made the home team play for all they were worth and with a sensational rally near the end of the game almost turned what seemed to be a sure defeat into a victory, but the Orientals had a little fight left, and finished the game with a one point lead. The preliminary game saw the Oriental Girls score a clean-cut victory over the New York Academy Lazies. There will be no game in New Rochelle next Saturday night but on the following Saturday night, February 3, the "Speed Merchants" will take the court against the famous Jersey Whirlwinds, who are rated as the Skeeter State's leading professional team, while in the preliminary game the Oriental Girls meet the N. Y. Deers. This is a return game affair, the Deers having won the other, which was played in New York. The Orientalists scored as follows: field goals—Flowers (5), Garcia (4), Monte (4), Gaynor (2), Jones (1); foul goals—Flowers, 0 out of 2 chances; Garcia, 1 of 1; Monte, 0 of 2; Jones, 0 of 2; Gaynor, 1 of 4 chances.

S. Negroes Repudiate "Back to Africa," Says W. E. B. Du Bois "Crisis" Editor Declares Marcus Garvey Agitation a Product of Lothrop Stoddard Type of Propaganda Charges Garvey Negotiated With Ku Klux. The bubble of Garveyism is burst in the United States, according to Dr. W. F. B. Du Bois, editor of "The Crisis," who writes in the February Century magazine on the "Back to Africa" movement of Marcel Garvey. American Negroes have not joined the Garvey movement in large numbers, asserts Dr. Du Bois. The Garvey ventures have cost his followers, chiefly from the British island of Jamaica, close to $1,000,000, estimates Dr. Du Bois, of which about $800,000 was lost in the failure of the Black Star Line of steamships. Of the attitude of American Negroes toward the Garvey movement, Dr. Du Bois writes: "It is no ordinary tribute to American Negro poise and common sense and ability to choose and reject leadership. One of the most singular proofs of this is that the latest support of Garveyism is from the notorious Ku Klux Klan. When Garvey saw his Rock Star Line disappear, his Back Star Line membership fall off, and his American League grow increasingly critical he flew South to consult the Grand Cyclops of the Invisible Empire. Whether the initiative came from him or from the Klan is not known, but probably the Klan invited him. They were, indeed, birds of a feather, believing in titles, flummery and mumbo-jumbo, and handling much guillible money." Counter-blast to "White Supremacy." Declaring that the Garver type of agitation is the counter-blast to the "white supremacy" propaganda by Lothrop Stoddard. Dr. Du Bois warns that in both lie the seeds of hate and war: "Here is Garvey yelling to life, from the black side, a race consciousness which leaps to meet Madison Grant and Lothrop Stoddard and other worshippers of the great white race. It is symptomatic and portentious. If, with a greater and more gitted and efficient Garvey, it sometime blazes to real flame, it means world war and eternal hate and blood. It means the setting of the world clock back a thousand years. And yet the world's Garveys are not solely to blame, but rather every worshipper of race superiority and human inequality. On the other hand, back of all this lurks the quater, more successful, more insistent, and hopeful fact. Races are living together. They are buying and selling, marrying and rearing children, laughing and crying. They are fighting mobs and lynchers and those that enslave and despise, and they have not yet failed in that fight. Their faith in their ultimate and complete triumph are these homes, this business block, this church, duplicated a hundred thousand times in a nation of twelve million. Here, then, are two twins, outlived in the world's blood-crimson twilight, and yet to be described easily by those with the seeing hearts. Which path will America choose?"

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 24.—Frank Shockley is in jail awaiting the outcome of a gunshot wound he is alleged to have inflicted on W. E. Johnson (southern white gentleman) late last Monday night. According to the story of an eyewitness of the affair, Johnson was seated in his automobile at the corner of Broad and Alabama street at 11:20 o'clock Monday night, and as Shockley passed by Johnson ordered him to crank the machine. Shockley ignored the demand. This outward sign of indifference on the part of Shockley apparently angered Johnson, who said, "You are one of those damn niggers whose been up North and got clear beside yourself. Pill you how you to treat a Southern gentleman." Johnson jumped from his machine and cursing struck Shockly over the head with a tire pump, saying, "Now take that you —— ——," using lan guage too, or, well, what he said can't be printed. Shockly stood for a moment just looking at Johnson, and then Johnson ordered him to move on and then rushed at him with the pump again. Shockly drew a pistol and fired at Johnson, the bullet passing through his neck. The shot attracted the police, who arrested Shockly and placed him in jail, and Johnson was taken to the Grady Hos. pitial. DR. WM. H.

(Preston News Service) Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 23.—The strong opposition in the committee on Judiciary of the Senate to the Bagger bill aimed at the Kia Klux Klan in this state which make it a felony punishable by imprisonment for any person to appear off his premises disguised so as to conceal his identity, caused the measure to be referred to a sub-committee and to hearings on the bill set for the Senate chamber at three o'clock Thursday afternoon. It is said that the Bagger bill has the support of the leading white citizens from all parts of the state and that scores of them have indicated that they will be on hand to defend the measure at the public hearing. Senator Squires announced to the senate that the measure would be opposed. The Bagget bill, which excepts from its provisions persons attending halloween parties and properly conducted masquerades and minors under 18 years of age, is one of the two bills against the klan now pending in the general assembly. The other which was introduced in the House of Representatives by Representative Millinken, of Union, provides for the registration of the membership of all secret societies. ENGLISH PRESS HAILS AGGREY AS LEADER London, Jan. 22.—(Crusader Service) The announcement from the United States of the discovery of another Booker T. Washington in the person of James Emma Kewgylr Aggrey, an African-born Negro, who is now a candidate for his Ph.D. at Columbia University, has been received here with frank interest in the prospects of usurping the present dominant radical New Negro with a leader of the old type and school. British imperialists in particular, received the announcement with undisguised pleasure, while even the Liberals reacted favorably to the prospects of ousting the present radical leadership of the Negro people in the United States. Typical of the comment of the press is the following excerpt from an editorial in the "Manchester Guardian": "Luke Dr. Moton, who was recently in England, Mr. Aggrey is opposed to American liberation movement which has been her own, and in the United States and has inspired many colored men throughout the world with the ambition to bring to an end the oppression of the African people. Mr. Aggrey has long occupied the pulpit of the colored church near Salisbury. Many Negroes aspire to the United States. Washington held in America's "Black World" of nearly twelve million per son, but most of them are working on the construction of the doctrines of the greatest figure which has arged from the tasks of the colored men in America. Aggrey, however, is working on the construction of a slave bay by Booker Washington—in the Negro into a proper niche in the agricultural and industrial spheres." FIRE DESTROYS FIETEN HOMES IN STATESVILLE (Preston News Service). Stateville, N. C., Jan. 23.—Fifteen Negro homes were destroyed by the fire here last Wednesday. The fire was fanned by a high wind and at times threatened to spread over the town. Most of the structures consumed were small ones on the west side of center street and the total loss is estimated at from $0,000 to $75,000, of which about one-third was covered by insurance. No one was injured in the flames which gave the fire department a desperate battle. The fire is believed to have bad its origin in a tailoring and pressing establishment on Center street. The Red Cross and associated charities are caring for the home loss.

APPOMATTOX RECELEBRATES FIR The Appomattox Republican Club held its first anniversary celebration on Thursday evening, January 18th, 1923, at the rooms of Commerce, 2370, Seventh Avenue. It was a matter of pride for the members, looking back just one year from that date, when Appomattox blossomed forth in all its splendor, with vigor and courage, at a time when some other political political quarry, with no effort to extricate itself or serve the masses. True to its name, true to its convictions, and true to its pledge, it has steered clear of those entanglements which so often obstruct political clubs. The club packed the room to capacity. The club was favored with a trio of first-class entertainers headed by Mr. Wilbert Howard, who rendered three of their most popular selections, one from Will Marton Cook, Mrs. Bessie Cook delighted with the club, and Mr. Brown, Miss Lucile Burleigh recited "Over the hill to the Door House."

Terrorized By Passengers U. S. Veteran Kills Farmer. Cumberland, Ma., av. 23.—John Richards of Beatrice, Ala., a discharged soldier, shot and killed U. E. Hennencamp, aged about 50, a farmer of Rockwood, Pa., last week, and in turn was killed by Captain Harry D. Schmidt, Division Chief of the Baltimore & Ohio Police. The man boarded the train at Washington. At Martinsburg a wire was sent to Captain Schmidt to meet the train here and arrest the man. In the meantime the Negro sought refuge in the washing compartment for women, and passengers steered clear of blim. When the train stopped here, the officers were in waiting but Mr. Hennencamp started to get aboard ahead of them and it is claimed Richards began firing, evidently thinking he was a plain clothes officer. Hennencamp was shot twice through the heart. He then fired twice at Captain Schmidt who came up behind, but missed him. Schmidt fired three times, one bullet passing through Richard's mouth and through his abdomen. He fell dead in the compartment. He had a ticket for Chicago. Mr. Hennencamp came here to see his wife, who has been a patient at Allegheny Hospital since Oct. 25, and had been for weeks in a critical condition, but was on the way to recovery. The police at first thought the man was George Brown, wanted in New York for the murder of his wife last August at Coney Island, but papers found on the body showed that it was that of Rich ards, who was drafted in 1917 and discharged in 1921. While the shooting was going on there was a panic among the passengers in the coaches, and A. J. Maschauer of 57 Adams street, Washington. D. C. jumped through a closed window to the station. He sustained a gash in the left arm and a cut in the hand. How the trouble started was not stated but it is believed the Jim-Crow laws had something to do with it.

Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alfalfa. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and is very harmful. Mulsified coconut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless, is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing as this cannot possibly injure the hair. Simply put two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsified in a cup or glass with a little warm water, then molsten your hair with water and rub the Mulsified in. It will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleansse the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every ticle of drizzle dandruff and excess oil. The hair drizzles quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and shiny, bright, fuzzy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified coconut oil shampoo at any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces will last everyone in the family for months. He sure your drugstreet gives you Mulsified. URINARY complaints, objections, disruptions, successful treatment at home.

The Sunday School convened promptly at 2 o'clock. There was a large attendance. By reason of the growth in membership, and the corresponding numerical increase in the classes, our church is far too small to accommodate our large number. The Sunday School contribution amounted to $224.2. The Sunday School attendance was present at 4 o'clock to witness the "Heavenly Gates Ajar" which was given under the auspices of the Lyceum for the benefit of the Newberner, N. C. Fire Sufferers. At S o'clock Dr. Brown preached the annual sermon to the Clubmen's Beneficial League. Next Sunday the pastor will preach at 10:43. A. M.

Music Hampton Quartet. E. A. Abbott, of the Chicago Defender, will lecture. ABYSSINIAN BAPTIST CHURCH. Standing room was at a premium at the morning, afternoon and evening farewell services in the old church. The pastor delivered a very thoughtful and inspiring sermon in the morning on "Going Forward" and the assistant pastor one of his sermons, from the subject, My Presence Shall Go with Thee. The afternoon services were in charge of the Sunday School and consisted of music, papers and farewell talks. Thirty-four persons united with the church, all were baptised, and $133.18 was raised. Persons were accepting Christ all day long and all were baptised in the church, just before the benediction was pronounced, was the coming forward of a young woman owning Jesus as her Saviour. Rev. A: Clayton Powell will preach Sunday at 11 A. M. at Palace Casino, and Rev. Arthur Payne will deliver the message on Sunday at the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 165 street and Seventh avenue. The Abyssinian Chor will lead the music at both services. MOTHER ZION CHURCH. Mother Zion Church was crowded to its most capacity on Sunday morning, January 21. The senior choir rendered very appropriate selections. It was announced that the Manhattan Wide Revival would continue during the week. Hundreds have contested Christ, forty-one of whom united with this church last Sunday. We are praying that many more may be led to know their Maker. The congregation was preached by the pastor Dr. Brown. Prior to announcing his text, the congregation joined him in singing "I Need Thee Every Hour." He then offered a fervent prayer. The subject of his text was "What Think Ye of Christ?" He stated that the transpiring of events during the past week had caused him to change his subject. He presented Jesus Christ as the true foundation upon which the faith of the church is founded, and declared that the greatest work being done in the world today is getting men and women to accept Christianity. He emphasized the divinity of Christ, whom the Scriptures declare was God's own Son, and is the third person of the Godhead. "What think ye of Christ?" He is not an imposter, but an honest man. The Scriptures unnounce the divine plan of salvation, constitute the only hope of eternal happiness. He declared that in the writings of all the poets, philosophers and works of men of wisdom of all the ages, unmistakable references are made to Christ, and in all of them. He is lifted up as the angel of salvation. He pleaded that Christians would not suffer themselves, to be pulled away from their moorings, but continue to hold implicit faith in the plan of salvation through Christ, as set forth in the Bible—which is God's word to man. This was indeed an interesting sermon delivered in earnest and earnest attention. The sermon is listened with almost breathless attention. At its conclusion 16 persons were received into the church. REV. S. E. MORRIS WILL TEACH THEOLOGICAL CLASSES Rev. S. E. Morris formerly a Missionary to Central America at one time professor of Theology in Antiqua, has inaugurated a theological class in the Salem M. E. Church, Rev. F. A.

Cooper, Chairman of the Board of Directors. The President says that the club will be heard from in the near future. MANHATTAN LODGE NO. 45.

Others will be initiated next Friday evening. The effective work of W. O. Murphy and Charles H. Dunning, assisted by the officers of the Grand Lodge, speaks for itself. Among the Grand Lodge officers present were Steven Martin Williams, M. Stokes. Thomas H. Austin, headed by the Grand Master, D. W. Parker. The next Third Degree will be conferred on January 30th.

The Porters' House was quite full almost to the running over point when Veteran visited it last Saturday on his regular weekly tour. Custodian Snowden explained that the reason was because of the heavy passenger traffic on the Punlman cars. As far as porters are concerned, neither heavy nor mild pressure them better. Heavy passenger traffic means larger checks on their monthly pay day. Many of their checks on last pay day reached five figures. There is a vacancy on line from New York to Rochester. Porter T. D. Freeman having been assigned to other service. Lawrence Williams, of Chicago, and G. H. More, from the same city, were at the home last week. The following porters sit at the Mott Haven Harsens: R.

Blessingsa received." Throughout the entire delivery of the discourse there were attestations from the audience of its satisfaction with the message delivered. Dr. Officer emphasized the vital necessity of allowing our lives to conform to the pattern laid down in the Bible which is given for the guidance of mankind. Truly faith in God's Word as taught and practised by the church is the safest principle by which people can live. At ten o'clock there was quite a large attendance at the Sunday School, the evening Rev. R. E. Peters, returned Missionary from Africa reached an interesting and uplifting sermon, using as his subject, "imptations of Christ." Named well suited with the Church during the day.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WED., JANUARY 24, 1923 1 THE LATE REV. J. W. H. EASON We beg to extend our many thanks to our friends in and out of the cities of Brooklyn and New York, who attended the funeral services in Elizabeth, N. J., January 9, 1923, of our late brother, Dr. J. W. H. Eason. We also wish to thank our many friends for the floral offerings; also the following ministers: Rev, Dr. Hurten, of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., in charge of the funeral rites; Rev, Dr. J. J. Hurtte, Pres. of Northern University; Rev, Dr. N. W. Davis, of Philadelphia; Rev, Dr. J. J. Jackson, Winston Salem, N. C.; Rev, Dr. H. H. Proctor, Rev, Dr. F. M. Jacobs, Rev, J. W. Brown, all of Brooklyn; Rev, Dr. Harry B. Hurris, Elizabeth, N. J.; Dr. D. E. J. Proctor, Orange, N. J. Interment took place in Rose Hill Cemetery, N. J. Dr. Eason leaves to mourn his loss six saturations eight brothers: Mrs. Martha Greene, Mrs. Lillie Jones, Mrs. Muzzle Tyree, of Cranford, N. J.; Mrs. Emma Gale, Trenton, N. J.; Mrs. Iris B. Winder, Brooklyn; Mrs. Kate Morrow, Elizabeth, N. J.; W. A. Eason, Coston, Philadelphia; J. Eason, Charlie Eason, Luke Eason, Elizabeth, N. J.; Chester Eason, Edwin Eason, Thomas Eason, Brooklyn, N. Y. and coworkers and students. At the annual meeting on January 22nd, the Committee of Management of the branch for the coming year was elected: Mrs. Emma Runson, chairman; Mrs. Elizabeth S. Michael, vice-chairman; Mme. V. E. Scott, treasurer; Mrs. Mimle. Pickens, secretary; Minus. P. Boerstel, secretary; Johnson, S. Stuckton, R. B. Dranzet, Lilian A. A. Alexander, Hortense Bowen, Mary Garden, Adah R. Thoms-Smith, Bessie Chessman and Miss Cornelia Pedro. New members elected are: Angela Haughta Bowen Dix, Emma Shields Peum and S. Peyton Wortham. Mrs. Emma Ranson has served as chairman of the branch for more than fourteen years. The work has meant many sacrifices for her. Mrs. Ranson lives in a suburban town and every meeting she attends, we all felt a thrill when Mme. V. E. Scott arose in the annual meeting to read the financial report for her eighteen years of service as the treasurer of the branch. It is a deep source of courage to feel that one faithful woman, with very many joyful life of her, with whom she even conceived consecutive years of service toward the upbuilding of an institution for the mental, spiritual and physical development of girls and women. And there is no mistaking the face that Mmq. Scott, together with Mrs. Ranson and our general secretary, has thered some bird days in the Young Women's Christian Association of New York City. It is with the deepest regret that we announce the resignation of Mrs. Nettie Y. Griffin as chairman of the Membership Committee. Mrs. Griffin has done most splendid work with this organization and we are proud of it. We are losing in her a valuable worker. She has for a long time been greatly over worked and is forced to give up the chairmanship. We wish to express our earnest appreciation to her. Every Sunday afternoon in all locations Michael is present to preside at the Vesper Service. This is only one of Mrs. Michael's duties as the faithful chairman of the Religious Work Committee. Mrs. E. P. Roberts has had an efficient hand in the development of the Physical Department of the branch. She has served as swimming instructor and has conducted a free recreation class for members. Mrs. Eva T. Parks carries her heaviest burden in November; when Budget Week comes, Mrs. Parks is chairman of the Finance Committee, and upon the committee's responsibility, we feel here, that our Girls' Work Department, for girls under 18, is tremendously important and we do so greatly appreciate Mrs. Bessie Cheesman's spendid work as chairman of the Girls' Worc Committee. Mrs. Bessie Stockton, with her grievances of manner, is a very fitting chairman for the Social Committee. We must also mention Miss Le dros' embustastic work with the association, a jolly club of campers. A substantial evidence of the active interest of the members of the Committee of Management is that they raised almost a thousand dollars for the Maintenance Budget for 1923. We regret the inconvenience caused by the failure of our telephone service on Friday, Jan. 19, and Saturday, Jan. 20. Twelve hundred telephones on the Audun bon exchange were out of order as a nightmare. The W. Y. C.A. basketball team will play against the Salem Cyclones on January 25th and against the Blue Belts, champion New York team, on January 29th. ANNUAL FINANCIAL DRIVE OF Y.M.C.A. Plans are being perfected for the coming annual financial drive of the West 153th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. The teams and workers are being organized under the leadership of the curious son of the embattled executive manifested at the last meeting. The workers are very much encouraged over the phenomenal success of last year insofar as the branch is concerned financially. The figures for the year as compared with previous years were as follows: Total receipts for 1922 were $71,296.48; for 1921, $63,899.21. The expenditures for 1922 amounted to $88,678.72, as compared with 1921, $68,758.73. The surplus for 1922 amounted to $1,272.76, as compared with a deficit in 1921 of $2,083.83. The budget this year calls for expenditures of $77,964.84. To bring this amount the branch must raise $5,339.84 in contributions for the year. The various branches of the bank are United Financial Drive during the month of January in order to raise the amount necessary for the branches. The West 135th Street workers are looking forward to be able to make a full report at the United Y. M. C. A. Commodore House. Of the association are urged to send annual contributions in to the office at once. All checks payable to A. T. Anderson, treasurer. 135th STREET Y.M.C.A.

We cannot expect any pass us than we do for ourselves; or we did for us by our job-seeking leaders, except the Democratic party, least resistance when dealing with doing what is demanded by the leaders.

WE DOFF OUR HATS to ANNA ROBINSON JONES, first colored woman to pass the New York State bar examination: AUGUSTA SAVAGE, the girl who modeled the bust of W. E. B. Du Bols and SADIE PETERSON, who presented this work of art to the 135th Street Branch of the New York Public Library. "WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING" WE ARE STILL PROUD to say that we are Republicans and believe in the Republican doctrine wherever the Negro is concerned. We say this without lowering our heads in shame and in spite of recent Republican failures affecting us. AS PRACTISED TODAY American politics is a cold business proposition with all the parties except the Democratic party, which has always sought to nullify the colored vote by fair or foul means. A party which would deny the colored man the vote even if he agreed to cast it for a Democrat. A party which fosters the Jim Crow, the Ku Klux Klan and lynching. A party which seeks to pull the wool over the Northern Negroes' eyes by pointing out the difference between a Northern and Southern Democrat. "LOOK at what it has done for the colored man in New York." we are told; and to which we reply: "Yes, but look at what it is doing for your mother, father sister and brother in the Southland." AND we are not "Abraham Lincoln Republicans," either. We are aware of its many shortcomings and defects. We know, too, that it has no especial love for us. Then why are we Republics? Simply because it is a flexible party and does not subscribe to the nullification of the Negro vote. AND we admit that in the North there is a differenc between a Northern and a Southern Democrat but in the District of Columbia and in the South, they are the same. FRANKLY SPEAKING, the failure of the Republican party to pass and enforce legislation favorable to the Negro is not the fault of the party itself, but our own fault. We cannot expect any party to do more for us than we do for ourselves; or more than is demanded for us by our job-seeking leaders. All the parties, except the Democratic party, follow the lines of least resistance when dealing with us; giving and doing what is demanded by the voters or their leaders. Our leaders have sought jobs for themselves and have lead us through the valleys and up the hills until they have accomplished their purposes and then left us to go the rest of the way alone. We have imposed a faith in them of which they have not lead us aright and we have been foolish enough to follow. They have been weighed and found wanting—wanting in manhood; wanting in have not possessed the courage of their convictions. NOW THESE SAME leaders are seeking to throw the burden of their own failures off their shoulders onto those of the Republican party and want us to join them. Their cries fall on deaf ears. We have seen and are willing to admit our mistake. If we must have leaders, let us have new ones. And let us weigh them ever so often so that we may know when they are found wanting. TANNER AND STEWART WEEK'S newspapers carried in the deaths of two distinguished Benjamin Tucker Tanner and Jud ewart. P TANNER was born in Pittsburg eighty-seven years old. His ear obtained in local private school His higher education was obtained where he distinguished himself scholar in mathematics and the Ec LAST WEEK's newspapers carried announcements of the deaths of two distinguished Negroes, Bishop Benjamin Tucker Tanner and Judge Y. McCants Stewart. BISHOP TANNER was born in Pittsburgh in 1835, and was eighty-seven years old. His early education was obtained in local private school of Pittsburgh. His higher education was obtained at Avery College, where he distinguished himself as a profound scholar in mathematics and the English language. At an early age he connected himself with the A. M. E. Church, and in 1858, he was ordained a minister in that church. Because of his great piety and superior education he quickly rose to the bishopric of his church, and was for many years the presiding Bishop the first district, which gave us the benefit of his presence and active service in everything pertaining to the advancement of his people. guage.

Lawrence Lowen president of Harvard University: RAIN OR SHINE, in cold or hot weather, one may see a little colored woman tramping the streets of Harlem. Sometimes she has one or more children following her. You wonder who she is and what she is about.

Lawrence Lowell, President of Harvard University: A. Lawrence Lowell, Esq., President, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. Dear President Lowell: The policy promulgated by you of excluding from the freshman dormitories at Harvard all colored undergraduates contravenes, in my opinion, the traditions and ideals which have done so much to develop the greatness of our university as a seat of learning and as a liberal institution. The policy promulgated by you of excluding from the freshman dormitories at Harvard all colored undergraduates contravenues, in my opinion, the traditions and ideals which have done so to develop the greatness of our university as a seat of learning and as a liberal institution. Jim Crow Methods. Your policy of exclusion is the adoption of the Jim Crow methods of the South, the complete negation of the very reason for the creation of the freshman dormitories. As an undergraduate I was an ardent supporter of yours in advocating the establishment of freshman dormitories and mandatory attendance because I believed it was a practical way of furthering the democratic aims of the university.

As an undergraduate I was an ardent supporter of yours advocating the establishment of freshman dormitories and mandatory attendance because believed it was a practical way of furthering the democratic aims of the university. Cultured Students. The few colored men who enter Harvard are educated and cultured students seeking higher education, and the opportunities afforded for a liberal education. Can it be that these few men can so shock the sensibilities of present day Harvard undergraduates that they desire to deny them a right to live and to eat in these spacious dormitories. These colored students are not seeking to be introduced into the homes of their classmates, or to attend their teas and dances, or to obstruct where they are not wanted; all they ask is a right to live and let live, and to enjoy the same privileges as other undergraduates in purely academic affairs.

It is generally admitted that it is through education that the conditions of our color citizens can heat be improved, yet when the leaders of that race, such as young Bruce grandson of a former distinguished United States Senator, and whose father was an hon graduate seeks to enter Harvard, are they forth to be brutally told that they can enter or at the price of ostracism? Where is this system of proscription going to end? Are Asthies be discriminated against? Is this the same Harvard that conferred an honorary degree a few decades ago on Booker T. Washington? Harvard is not a private school, but a great National University with its gates wide open all who can comply with the entrance requirements, based on scholarship, not on race, color or creed. It is generally admitted that it is through education that the conditions of our colored citizens can best be improved, yet when the leaders of that race, such as young Bruce, grandson of a former distinguished United States Senator, and whose father was an honor graduate seeks to enter Harvard, are they henceforth to be brutally told that they can enter only at the price of ostracism?

Served With Negroes. During the war I had the honor and privilege of serving with a colored National Guard Regiment, from New York State. These enlisted men were imbued with the idea that they were fighting to make the world safe for democracy. What a hollow mockery! I would be derelict to the memory of those men in any command who paid the supreme sacrifice in battle, if I remain silent on the issue affecting the civil rights of their race. It was good enough then in defense of our country to sleep along side our colored comrades, but it seems to be too much now to ask undergraduates even to live under the same roof with cultured Negroes, although separated by partitions. This is not the spirit of democracy; it is not the spirit of New England, and it is not the spirit of Harvard. Certainly there has been no referendum among Harvard graduates on this amazing divergence from our historic policy. Have we already forgotten the glorious memory of Col. Robert Gould Shaw, of the 4th Massachusetts colored infantry. What of the uncompromising and fearless fights waged by John Quincy Adams, Charles Sumner, Edward Everett, and in our own day, by Theodore Roosevelt in behalf of the civil rights of the Negro race. I do not believe that much discriminatory action would have ever been considered in the lifetime of Major Higginson, and other prominent civil war veterans.

EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES THE ARKANSAS MOB MURDER (New York Globe) The mob of Arkansas farmers who hang allroad striker may be morally different from union sympathizers at Herrin, Ill., who brus hurried mine guards and officials, but so far the maintenance of law is concerned, the result their action is the same. It is inconceivable such an act could have occurred in any north european country save Russia. The habit of ly ing Negroes, which is popular in Illinois and does broadly contempt for the law which does draw the color line. Consequently, the country the spectacle of a rich man who dared give bail in an assault whipped by a mob. As to origin of the Arkansas outrages, it is desirable suspend judgment pending further information, concerning the remedy there is no doubt. The er The mob of Arkansas farmers who hanged a railroad striker may be morally different from the union sympathizers at Herrin, Ill., who brutally murdered mine guards and officials, but so far as the maintenance of law is concerned, the result of their action is the same. It is inconceivable that such an act could have occurred in any northern European country save Russia. The habit of lynching Negroes, which is popular in Illinois and Arkansas, breeds a contempt for the law which does not draw the color line. Consequently, the country has the spectacle of a rich man who dared give bail for an accused striker whipped by a mob. As to the origin of the Arkansas outrages, it is desirable to suspend judgment pending further information, but concerning the remedy there is no doubt. The enactment of a federal anti-lynching law, with the assurance that the gentry who are addicted to this civilizing pastime will have the opportunity to explain their views on mob murder and torture to an impartial jury, will have a cooling effect upon emotions which now are uncontrolled. Congress ought, in the name of decency, to revive the pending bill and force it through to passage. : To the Editor : : To the Editor : LIKED EVERYTHING The Amsterdam News The colored people of New York in particular, and throughout the country generally ought to be proud of the Amsterdam News, the second oldest Negro newspaper in New York, and the oldest in Harlem, and its new editor, William M. Kelley. The editorials of the Amsterdam News are always inspiring and uplifting. Its news items entertaining and encouraging. Your issue of January 17th exceptionally brilliant. One finds pleasure in reading the editorial page of your paper. Your reason "Why Negroes leave the South" are both sound and plausible, and are all too true "Why slander the dead." (last week's editorial on J. W. H. Eason) meets my approval, through and through. Among other noble things, you said in this editorial, "In life we all make mistakes. We all have our enemies. We all have our convictions. We all have our petty jealousies. We often see in others an influence which we would like to destroy in life or after death of our opponents. What if he was killed over an alleged woman affair?" Such is possible! But wouldn't it have been fairer to the dead man to let these facts be revealed by others? There is little danger of them being suppressed in presenting them to the public at this time the editors of the "Negro World" have placed themselves in the position of a "hit dog." "Yes we pity Dr. Eason but we pity the organization and the newspaper that would thus write concerning a fallen enemy and a former comrade." Lesson from the Bruce-Lowell Incident is clean cut, concise, and to the point. Permit me to quote a few gems from this splendid editorial. The correspondence between President Lowell and Mr. Bruce should convince all of us that our success is not dependent upon individual attainment. The younger Bruce is the grandson of a former Register of the Treasury and U.S. Senator from Mississippi from 1873 to 1881. His father is a distinguished educator. But to Pres. Lowell and to thousands like him the younger Bruce's distinguished ancestry and preparation are as nothing when placed alongside the fact that he is a Negro." But the incident has a bright slide, in that it will have a tendency to give to the Negro race the unstinted service of the Negro University graduate. Far too many colored men have entered Harvard and other noted universities as Negroes and come out individualists; with the conviction that the success of the race depended upon the success of the individual and imbued with a strong desire to lose their racial identity. This is all too true! A fact that cannot be denied. You have sounded the tocsin in your closing words: "In the crisis ahead of us we will need the unstinted assistance of every man of intelligence among us, and that no man, high or low, rich or poor, should place his individual desires above the desires of his race. I term this sound race doctrine! "Expressed by our contemporaries" column is a very splendid thing for which I must specially commend you. Your "Book Chat" by the renowned Mary White Ovington is a very splendid addition to the Amsterdam News. Of course I enjoy the independent, progressive articles by Dean Pickens. The new Negro is doing his own thinking today, and therefore, appreciates such independent, progressive men as Dean Pickens, Prof. Kelley Miller, Dr. Dubois, James Weldon Johnson, Alderman Geo. W. Harris, William M. Kelley, and others of this type. The splendid poem "In Protest" by Sarah Collins Fernandis in the Southern Workman, re-printed in this issue is encouraging to those of us who hold sacred the traditions of our race. (Rov.) E. A.

E. B. DuBois Gives Interesting Lecture at 135th St. Library. Itr. W. E. B. Du Bois spoke to a large and appreciative audience last Wednesday at the 135th Street Library, on "Negro Literature." He began by pointing out that Negro literature in its fullest sense would really include such literature as had been produced by white persons under Negro influence, but that he intended to restrict his talk solely to such works as had been actually produced by Negroes themselves. * Presenting a chart he proceeded to trace Negro literature from its first beginnings in the latter part of the seventeenth century down to the present day. The writings of Negroes he said may be grouped under four headings: Folklore in the form of poetry; biography; history, and poetry. "Colored people," he said, "are somewhat ashamed of their folklore. Only one writer, Mr. Tallley, has made a collection of these songs, and he has received much unfavorable criticism for having done so. The greater part of Negro literature, he went on to say, was propaganda against racial injustice As the leading biographers he gave Allen, Vasa, henson, Sojourner, Truth and Simmons, who "wrote "Men of Mark." "As the leading historians he named Nell, Still, Payne, Williams, Wilson, Brawley and Woodson, 'Negro history,' he says, 'came to be written largely because the propagandists wanted to back up their assertions with history.'

Propaganda, he says, will in all likelihood go on until the Negro comes into his own. "There is a never-ending wealth of material in the past and present day life of Negroes for the writer," he continued. "If all Negroes were to tell their real adventures it would be most astounding, perhaps more so than any other group in the world." At the close of his address Dr. Du Bols was asked by one of his listeners if he believed Booker-Washington Wrote "Up from Slavey," to which he replied that he believed he did. He further stated that the general style of the writing in the book was similar to that in other books by Dr. Washington.
