MR. HOLSTEIN SPEAKS Colored Magistrate Used As Tool By Whites—Appeal Made to American Hairplay. That the Navy Department submits the people of the Virgin Islands to the same rigorous discipline that is maintained in the Navy that free speech is forbidden and that the native press cannot voice the wrongs of the people without incurring the anger of the judiciary were some of the charges made by the Congressional Council, an organization of Virgin Islanders in New York City at a mass meeting held in Lafayette Hall last Sunday. Casper Holstein, the principal speaker, and president of the Council declared that the attitude of the naval officials had created a crisis in the condition of the laboring people of the Islands and cited many instances of brutality and misgovernment. The beating up of men and women by marines for no other crime than the color of skin was common, the speakers declared. "The Navy Department," said Holstein, "has placed its own interpretation on the laws of the Island and is administering them in a manner that causes great hardships to the people who have always been known as law-abiding and industrious citizens. The laws are being enforced by judicial tyrants acting under the Navy Department. Conditions are similar to those of Haiti under this same naval rule. Appeal is useless as the two courts—the Police Court and the District Court—practically function as one and an appeal from the lower court to the higher 1: equivalent to an appeal to itself." According to the same speaker one of the chief instruments in the enforcement of these laws was Magistrate Peyne of St. Croix, a Negro, "If records of cases," he said, "could be had and a comparison drawn between them and the criminal statutor of the islands you would find that Magistrate Peyne has overstepped the bounds prescribed by law. This Negro has the instincts of his overlords. As in all oppressed groups there is always an element that acts as slave-drivers." After clitting several instances of alleged injustice the speaker added: "He serves out injustice in large doses and there seems to be no cessation of his acts." Thomas Fawcett, another speaker, said: "Virgin Islanders whether at home or in the United States are loyal American citizens, and because of that we demand the heritage of the American people mon justice. We intend to agitate until we get the ear of justice. At present we is impossible for the Islanders to protest without causing persecution by the judiciary. Free speech is forbidden. Editors who tell the truth about the situation are subject to the wrath of the officials. It is a deplorable condition and we are asking the American people, white and black, for their moral support in our struggle for justice." "The history of the Virgin Islands has been a glorious one. In the revolution of 1848 and 1875 we showed the spirit of manhood manifested by the American colonies in their struggle against the brutal yoke of Britain." Educates Young Men. Three young men of the Islands are educated annually in the United States from funds subscribed by Virgin Islanders here. Notice was given that an entertainment toward assisting this fund would be held in the near future. Joins Church, Then Confesses Crime Laid on Colored Man (Preston News Service). Danville, Va., Feb. 20—About 13 months ago Jones' store at Dry Fork was robbed. Blood-hounds were used to apprehend the thief. They went to the home of an aged Negro and stopped. This man's home was searched and none of the goods could be found and after considerable detective work watching the activities of the Negro no clues as to his guilt could be established and the case was never brought to attention of the Grand Jury for lack of evidence. Recently a "holiness revival" struck Dry Fork and several hundred of white persons were converted. One evening last week a prominent white man came to Mr. Jones and told him that the Negro was not guilty of robbing the store last year, but that he was one of a party of three who did the robbing. He said: "Jones I just had to come and tell you as since I got religion my conscience plagues me so. Please don't prosecute me or make this public as I will pay you for the goods. I cannot tell the names of the other men, but they have got religion too and maybe they will come and confess to you." Succumbs to Bronchial Pneumonia After One Week's Illness. Mrs. Mar Frances Nall, wife of John B. Nall and mother of John E. Nall of the real estate firm of Nall & Parker. 145 West 125th street, died at her residence. 2299 Seventh avenue.

Church, Hutchins C. Bishop, rector, tomorrow noon. It is possible that Mr. Nall, who is not at all well at this time, will be unable to attend the funeral of his wife. Distinguished Family Aside from her husband, Mrs Nail is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Grace Nail Johnson, wife of James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; a son, John E.

GIVES $10,000 TO THE RED CROSS Norfolk, Va.—Moved by unaltering gratefulness to the American Red Cross for its uniting efforts in securing for her through a maze of red tape the settlement of a $10,000 insurance claim upon the death of her son, a world war veteran, and feeling only as a mother can, the slap plight of many disabled vets, Mrs. Mary Reynolds, 1907 Smith street, has directed in her will that a farm in North Carolina for which she holds the deed be sold upon her death and the proceeds given to the Red Cross for the benefit of disabled world war veterans in the county in which the farm is located.

Six women and seven men were rescued by Patrolmen McCarthy, Arnold and Barberi of the Poplar street station, who went up the front fire escape and broke windows in the second, third and fourth stories when they could not go up the stairway for the smoke. Literally dragged from beneath beds where they were cowering with terror. Patrolman Arnold found William Bailey, 39, unconscious from smoke in a hallway and dragged him to safety.

Tenants of the three-story tenement at 302 West Fortleth Street, destroyed by fire last Friday morning declared they owed their lives to Miss. Minnie Peterson, an invalid. Otis the two year old son of Mrs. John Leiborne was burned to death. Mrs. Peterson was awakened by the flames. Struggling out of hed in spite of her crippled condition, she beat upon the door of her ground-floor room and cried out, with the result that most of the inhabitants, chiefly colored persons hurried out into the bitter cold night. Patrolman Lutz ran to the building in time to see Mrs. Mary Leighborn, with the infant in her arms, standing just above the second floor landing, with her night dress afire. He climbed the fire escape, picked both woman and child up in his arms and carried them through the flames to the street. He was heating out the flames in Mrs. Leighborne's clothing when she told him that baby Otis had been left in the apartment. Lutz and firemen climbed the fire escape. On the second floor they found the child's body.

"Under a law enacted at the last meeting of the Kentucky legislature, the death penalty may be inflicted for burglary, provided the crime was committed at night.

Library Thieves Thrive in Harlem Results of 135th Street Branch Closely Watched All Over Country—Many Complaints Made Concerning Noise. "The number of books stolen last year from the 135th Street Branch is just twice that of the next worst in the city. Almost as many were taken away as were put in last year — the difference is about a hundred." This is what Mr. E. W. Gaillard, special investigator for the New York Public Library, told a representative of The Amsterdam News last week. "There are two methods of attacking that problem," he continued. "One is to educate the neighbor and arouse it to a sense of responsibility; the other is to go right after the thieves, hale them into court, and give the enemies of the Negro something more to talk about. "And don't think we can't get them," he continued, showing drawers and drawers stacked with files of convictions he has secured against book thieves in this city alone. "But I believe in trying the first method first. If that doesn't work, then I shall have my men up there to catch the thieves." "I am particularly interested in that library, as it was on my recommendation that library was started there. I am interested in the advancement of the Negro, as my family has been for several generations. None of them ever kept slaves. They thought it a disgrace to do so. "The results of this library are being studied all over the country wherever there is a large Negro population. If these losses continue, Miss Rose will be compelled to make admissions at the next national convention of librarians that certainly will not be a credit to the colored people." Another source of loss, he said, was borrowers' taking books in the regular manner and failing to return them. Another complaint regarding this branch library is the noise that is made in it by patrons. Children running up and down the steps give it the air of a playground; while the loud talking below in the adults' room makes it sound like a cafe. "I have been in most of the libraries in this country," said one complainant. "and this is by far the most disorderly. In other libraries in this city people are compelled to do their talking outside. Here they come in to hold their conversations. Miss Rose wants everybody to come here and will not check the noise-makers because it will make her unpopular. In that case she will have to choose between making herself unpopular with the disorderly element and those who come to the library for serious study." "What about the noise?" Mr. Gallard was asked. "It is up to Miss Rose to keep order," he said. "As I said, there are a great number of people who want to keep education from the Negroes, and those conditions add a powerful weapon in their hands." With Heart Patched Man Is Recovering (Preston News Service.) Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 20 - Glenn Freeman, whose life is said to have been saved by a remarkable operation Monday night at the Grady Hospital, is said to be recovering. The surgeons, it is said, sowed up a bad knife wound in the right ventricle. The heart was lifted out of the normal position and five stitches taken. So delicate was the operation that the surgeon was compelled to frequently replace the man's heart in his body so that its regular movement might be regained. Glenn was, stabbed by his sweetheart just before midnight Monday at Houston, and Butler street. She is said to have plunged the knots into his heart following a quarrel. Fake Solicitor for Church Caught Claimed to Be Getting Money For Metropolitan Baptist Church. William S. Simmons, 48, 239 W. 63d St., is in the Tombs awaiting sentence by Judge Nott in General Sessions charged with soliciting donation for the support of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, 129th St. and Seventh Ave., of which Rev. W. W. Brown, 165 W. 128th St., pastor. Simmons, an attendant in the coat room of the Senate in Albany, was convicted by a jury before Judge Nott Thursday after Asst. Dist. Atty. John L. MacConnell, 1402 Lexington Ave., produced witnesses who testified that he had approached them, representing he was the Rev. Edward Purdy, pastor of the church. From several of the persons he solicited gifts of money, alleging it was to be applied for the support of the vacation field of the church located, so he said in Canada. Rev. Brown denounced Simmons as a fraud. He said he had been in formed that Simmons had collected considerable sums from charitable incline persons and had spent it in riotous living, Jacob Lowe, of the Metropolitan Tobacco Co, 64 Cooper Co. testified that he had given Simmons a check for $10 on the latter's representation that it was to be used for the church. The check was made payable to Edward Purdy and had been returned cancelled, endowed with that name. Simmons denied the charge and suggested to the jury that if the prosecutor hunted around for Rev. Edward Purdy a different defendant might be arraigned. MacConnell ascertained that the only Rev. Edward Purdy known in negro circles was living in Tuckahoe and sent a taxi-cab there for him. The chaueur of the taxi-cab found Mr. Purdy suffering from a paralytic stroke but notwithstanding hustled him into the taxi-cab and took him to the court. There he also denounced Simmons as a taker, saying he had heard of him before and had never authorized him or anybody else to solicit money for any cause in his name. He denied the signature on the back of the check for $10 was his. It is a clumsy, imitation, Mr. Purdy said. New Orleans, La. Feb. 20.—Miller Wills, 19 years old, who with John Morgan, aged 19 years, was struck by an automobile last Monday night and thrown under the wheels of a passing street car, died Birmingham Man Takes Gun From Four Abductors and Shoots One BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 20. → Edward H.

THREE HELD IN ROOF MURDERS THREE HELD IN ROOF MURDERS Nineteen Year Old Youth, His Wife and Friend Are Charged With Killing Two Men in Fifty-Ninth Street Last September. Several arrests have been made in connection with the murder last Sept. 15 of Louis Rothstein, an insurance collector, 204 West 69th street, and Samuel Kearn, also an insurance collector, 502 Broadway, Astoria, in West 59th street, west of Columbus Circle. Both Strangled Rothstein lay on the roof of No. 339; Kearn at No. 321. Both had been killed in the same manner. Their neckties had been detached, noosed about their necks in a slipknot, and drawn taut until they strangled. The pockets of both were turned inside out. Leon Singleton, nineteen, paroled convict, 3 West 104th Street; his wife, Telena, twenty-six, and Miss Beatrice Pennyfeather, twenty-five 552 Lenox Avenue are being held charged with being implicated in the crime. Singleton, according to Assistant District Attorney John R. Hennis, has confessed and a confirmatory statement has been obtained from Miss Pennyfeather. All are charged with homicide. The substance of the confession is that Singleton and an unnamed man used Miss Pennyfeather as a lure to get the men to the roof, then overpowered them and robbed them. Singleton says he didn't intend to murder them but merely wanted to stifle their cries. The double crime netted them $2.07 and an old Ingersoll watch, $1 from Rothstein, and $1.07 and the watch from Kearn. They threw the watch away and divided the money four ways, Slingleton and his wife taking the extra 7 cents. In a statement made to the police Daniels said that he was kidnapped, blindfolded and hustled into an automobile. While travelling at high speed the machine struck a bad road. The fostling gave him an opportunity to wrest a pistol from one of his abductors. He told the police that he immediately leaped from the moving car and began firing at the four men. He said the other three returned the fire but all their shots wont wild. CRIMINAL LIBEL TRIAL BEING HEARD IN COUR Two Year Old Charges Growing Out of John M. Royall's "Dispatch" Being Aired in Special Sessions. Charged with criminally libeling Thomas A. Taylor, Executive Secretary of the 135th Street Y.M.C.A., the Community Publishing Co., 21 West 134th Street, two of whose officers are Henry C. Dunston, and John M. Royall, treasurer, which has been pending in the courts for nearly two years, came to a hearing last Thursday before Judge Crain in General Sessions. The indictment arose out of alleged defamatory articles published in "The New York Dispatch," now defunct, concerning the Y.M.C.A. Secretary, published during January and February of 1921. Both parties are maintaining, according to the evidence given during the third day of hearing, that they were both animated by a desire to serve the community. Taylor declared that he incurred the enmity of some of the officers of the Community Publishing by opposing the granting of a dance hall license near the Y.M.C.A. The defense swore that they attacked Taylor because of his alleged immoral conduct. MME.

Daniels being carried some distance from pers. There were four masked According to the police Dan- his captors shortly before the hospital with a bullet wound old hospital authorities that he the men. Soon afterwards a man was brought to the hospital, claim- ing to have accidently shot him self, the police say. Daniels stated that he knew no reason why he should have been kidnapped. He told the police that he believed the gang of men were bent on doing some bodily harm to him from their actions. The au- thorities refused to reveal the Immorality Charges. The articles in the Dispatch were said to have been based on an affidavit, sworn to by Sirnah Taylor, his wife, charging him with having wronged a thirteen-year-old Indian girl named Lydia Blaine, who lived with Mr. Taylor and his wife in London, Canada. This girl, Mrs. Taylor said, later became a mother. Other charges in the affidavit were: improper relations with one Prof. Iraye, a musician; the writing of a love letter to one Mrs. William Wright of iridanapolis; the request that Mrs. Taylor submit to certain perversions and immoral relations with Mrs. Alceo Conley, a former private secretary of Taylor. Wife Took Money, is Charged. Taylor, on the stand, denied all the charges, except that about the lotter. This, he said, was a decoy he placed in his pocket for Mrs. Taylor, whom, he says, was in the habit of going through his pockets at night, and sometimes, taking from $10 to $15 of the Association's money, which, because of the lateness of the closing hour, he was in the habit of taking home. Between $00 and $75 had been lost in this manner, he swore. He also said that he had cautioned her about going through his pockets, and had told her that if she continued she would one day find a disagreeable surprise, which, he said, took the form of the letter in question. Letter Signed "Billy." The signature to this letter was "Billy." The defense declared that there had been an envelope which bore the name of Mrs Wright, but were unable to prove it. As it was there was no evidence to prove it had been addressed to her, as it began, "Dear Girl." Taylor said that he was separated from his wife in April, 1919, and was paying her $76 a month. He admitted that his wife had taken him to the Court of Domestic Relations on two occasions. Under cross-examination by Attorney Louis A. Leavelle for his defense, Taylor denied he had been on vacation with Mrs lay or had taken roses with Aichi Generals .

He was murdered by a Jewish: mob, Why? Because He called Himself the Son of God.. The’ Jews answered Him, “We have a law and by our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.” Jesua, the Master, was crucified because He taught that God Hes within & ‘man arid that man and God are one. 1 am the Son of God. ‘The churches today which pretend to understand and teach the wie dom of this great Master close their doors to any person who Would dare to teach or profess that God and man's power I8.t0 help himself—there you have it—just think it over, and you'll ‘see that the churches today, owing to Ignorance, are in the same: Position towards the teachings of Christ as were the Jews, King Pilate, the Scribe, Eldere and Chief Priests who murdered Christ. Stilt, we are told that this same God commanded, “Thou shalt not kill.” if this be true, why did He excite mankind whom He was trying to teach to sin no more, to commit such # das. tardly murder? Many will Gay that this was God's plan of saving falten humanity. Here we have the same old threadworn story. It would be far more sensible to Say that the death of Jesus waa due to the vengeance of selfish men; for we find in Hindu writ- ings that the Buddhist 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 belng, one \s an Orientat myth and the other Christian dogma, When the statement is made that Christ was a Master, it means, literally speaking, that Christ wae Master of Honk, educated and trod the path, receiving tho instruction <af-t Masters In India and the Orient.

Butler. for two points. Anderson went in for Chink at this stage of the game and he no sooner got in when he caged one from the field. Gales garnered another one and Winters shot two fouls. Johnson took Bett's place at guard. The score was tied 24 all. Butler broke the tie with a long one, then one final one, and another one. Sosone and Gales both made short ones bringing their total to 26 Winters made the last score of the game when he threw a nice one from the side of the court. Special to N. Y. Amsterdam News Xenia, O., Feb. 14.—The Xenia John Roan Post basketball team, plitted against the Loeni Club, of Pittsburgh, former colored champs of the world, staged one of the most sequential battles ever seen on a local court at the Rink Saturday night. The best part about the contest was that the local team came through with a well earned victory thereby winning the title of Colored Champions. The final score was 30 to 26. The game was nip and tuck all the way through the score being tled at several stages and then tucked into the time referee Rachford tossed up the first ball until the timer whistle sounded, ending the contest. Winters led the Legion team in scoring with five fielders and four fouls. He also played a fine floor game, his dribbling being very good. Duff was also a shining light. He caged three and his passing and guarding was also high class. Chink got two fielders and Anderson who took his place also looked good and kicked in with one. Fang and Butler got one apiece. The entire team exhibited a brand of ball that would be hard to improve upon. Cum Posey, former Penn State star and one of the important cogs of the Loen迪 club failed to live up to advance notices and the reason was that Sol Butler watched him so closely that he only garnered one field goal during the entire game. The Legion was first to score when after the tip off Chink took a pass from Duff and looped one through. Fang and Duff each turned in long ones putting the locals out in front by a six point lead. The Pittsburgh gang was not to be denied, however, and Gales looped a long one through. Chink scored again for the local team with a pretty one from the field and Young took the ball off the pooling board and dribbed it into the Winters also tossed one in from the free throw line and followed up with a sensational long shot. Gales added two more fouls to Pressey got his only score of 19. The Gales game ended with another at this time and Sesone the lanky center, turned in one. Gales and Winters each added it to their scores and Gales made another one of the long shots while Young broke into the scoring column again with a neat ring on the field. Winters wound up on the ball with two long ones from the center of the floor. The locals were leading by an, 18 to 16. Gales at forward, Sessons at centre and Young at guard, were the sparklers for the Loendl club. Gale: succeeded in zipping the ball into the net four times and shot four fouls while Sessons and Young located the basket two and three times respectively. Line-up and summary: Substitutions: Xenia-J. Anderson for Chink: Pittsburgh-Johnson for Betts. Scoring: Chink; 2 Winters; 3. Duff; 3. Butler; 1. Winters; 4. Duff; 3. Butler; 1.

The second half was a little more tighly played but Coach Moe White outscored the visitors again by two points. Betts got his his only score of the game in this period. Duff duplicated his feat and Duff dropped another one in Commonwealths Ready to Wipe Out Vandal Defeat February 22nd Two Victories Put Local Team in Trim For Big Game—Will Tackle Brooklyn Collegians on Sunday Night. Since Possey has suffered his first defeat, and the Pittsburgh world championship is being claimed by the American Legion team that turned the trick, "Cum" is now acting like and will come to New York and face the Commonwealth. This we expect as he has to show us after all the blues he has been singing. Possibly he will play our team on the 8th in Pittsburgh. Few New Yorkers expect our boys to win out, in Pittsburgh; something like teams going to Atlantic City and playing the Vandals. the rest of the season on account of undergoing an imperative or eration. The coming of the Vandal should be of great interest to the fans supporting the Commonwealth and others as this is the only colored team that defeated the local players since they started the return of the Commonwealth to our city after the clash with the players of the sea shore and the appearance of the visitors on a neutral court under an able referee will tell a differ the rest of the season on account of undergoing an imperative operation. The coming of the Vandals should be of great interest to the fans supporting the Commonwealth and others as this is the only colored team that defeated the local players since they started. Tales of rough stuff in the cage preceded the return of the Commodores to the court of their clash with the players of the shore and the appearance of the visitors on a neutral court under an able referee will tell a different tale. In preparation for their big game with the Vandals on Thursday night, the Commonwealths went out and coped two victories on Sunday when they defeated the Grays in the afternoon by a score of 32-27 and in the evening on their home court taking the game by the score of 32-26, "Stretch" Grant has left the ranks of the simon pures to be an out and out with the Commonwealths, taking the place of Johnnie Capers who will be forced out of the game for It is more than likely that the Loenildi team will be asked to play some other team at the Commonwealth Casino the first of March during their trip here to play a return game with the Vandals at Atlantic City. This will give the fans a chance to size up the Pittsburgh team. Of course the Commonwealth. Of course the colored team in these parts that could face the visitors would be the Spartans. Prof. Chas.

DOUGHERTY Raggarts Beste The Sportive Spotlight From the Pittsburgh, Pa., American we clip these few enlightening lines. Before reading them we politely ask the reader to glance at another part of today's Amsterdam News which will prove who is doing the right thinking in the matter since the Loendi team has been defeated by a practically unknown team. This happened but a few days ago. Says the American: "Week by week in every issue of the Amsterdam News. Loendil is attacked more and more by Romeo Dougherty. The latest quip of the Dean of Eastern Sport Writers is that McMahon Brothers have offered Cum Posey an exorbitant price for the appearance of Loendil against Commonwealth to which statement a rebuttal is offered. The cry has been advanced that the local outfit is shaky about the outcome of a tilt with the New York aggregation and is loathe to relinquish the title of 'World's Champs.' We believe that friend Romeo knows as well as he knows his game, that the Loendil five is the peer of all Race clubs in the country and at present would not be even held to a low score by any, with the possible exception of Vandals. As for picking referees, the writer believes that Loendil can defeat Commonwealth with Dougherty as the eleventh man on the court. The propaganda of the Eastern Scribe will only tend to break the sporting fraternity of New York, should they gobble Dougherty's dope, which is fathered by his fondest hopes. That Leendi must fall is a well established fact, but the time is not yet ripe for Commonwealth or any other first year combination of Race players. The writer has yet to see a pain of forwards, (barring Coffey Club's) who can escape the handcuffs of Capt. Young and Betts, or the guard who can keep Posey from getting his usual brace of baskets. This nucleus ably supported by the rugged Gayles and tall Sessoms form a potential organization. If Fial and Jenkins can get away (i. e. against Leendi) for the McMahons it is more than they could for old St. C. Slocum may prove the equal of Sessoms, but who will Commonwealth send out to watch Gayle, as two guards will be taxed to capacity trying to stop Posey? A series between the clubs would do the game no small amount of good, and would help enrich the coffers of both clubs. This series will no doubt be arranged in the fag-end of the season and we feel almost certain in saying that Dougherty and his club will be saddler and wilser when the storm is, over." Speaking of true sportsmanship it is indeed gratifying that if colored papers cannot rise to stand until h——I freezes over in behalf of the true principles of sport, at least a white writer from time to time lends encouragement to the efforts of such men as Victor H. Daniel, the crack coach who has brought the boys of the Bordentown, N. J., Industrial School to the front. I am proud to admit having known Coach Daniel, and prouder still of the fact that in football we did the least bit as a youngster to help give Major Daniel that inspiration which made it possible for him to succeed in the game in after years. A copy of the Philadelphia Public Ledger came to our hands the other day and we note where Cullen Cain, one of the most widely known and brilliant writers on a big daily took particular note of the sportsmanship which holds good at Bordentown. Says Mr. Cain: "The boys on the various teams of the Bordentown, N. J., Industrial School keeps me pretty well posted on the outcome of their various struggles with the teams of other schools. They send in the scores of their defeats as well as of their victories, and always with some comment that is more important than the mere score. The Trenton Baptist team beat them at basketball the other day, 31 to 29, and they sent me the score and 'explained' their defeat as follows: 'It was a mighty good fight to the very end.' A day or two later the team sent me the final standing of competitors after a track meet in Trenton. Lawrenceville Prep was first, Bordentown second and Pennington third. My Bordentown friends 'explained' their second-place standing in this way: 'We have not indoor conveniences for track work; however, we tried our best to make the witness hustle.' My last word from Bordentown came only a day or two ago. It gave the score of the last basketball game in which Bordentown defeated the Princeton Y by a score of 23 to 15, and this was the team's comment on the victory: "We are sure that 'rate deals hands while luck laughs,' and we are sure also that your story on that little poem will mean a great deal to us as we go through life." I'd like to say to the Bordentown boys that of all the many schools and colleges I claim some sort of sentimental connection with these days that the Bordentown Industrial School blue and white pennant hangs above the desk where I write my daily stuff." Speaking of fighting for the principles of sport, let me rise to congratulate the girl's basketball team which absolutely refused to go on the court recently and play against a ringer. When even the young ladies are resorting to that stuff of importing a player from another city with the idea and hope of defeating a rival team, things are pretty bad among us in sports. As we have oftimes said, we are today seeing the result of poor sportsmanship in the very small crowds being attracted to our casinos to see teams that in years past drew thousands to cheer them on to further efforts as athletes. Let us play the game for the game's sake and let it go at that. The success of the professional outfit now appearing at the Commonwealth Casino brings true what we have been saying for years, and that is that if we must have professionals let them be out and outers, the same thing to hold good with the amateurs. But under cover stuff of certain clubs trying for victory by hook or crook has worked to the detriment of all and today they are losing at every game staged. I told you so, gentlemen. "Cum" Posey in his letter last week which we reproduced, said that Loendi has been steering clear of us. Such a lie! Up to a few weeks ago Posey used to send us confidential stuff about basketball in general and his team in particular and his only reason for telling this bare-faced one is because we sent him a communication some weeks ago advising him to stop panning certain basketball players, singing the blues, etc. "Cum" was mad to think that an old friend would tell him to "get thee hence." We wonder if the American Legion Five which defeated the Loendi team of Pittsburgh last week will now be referred to an "world's champion." Posey said he claimed the title because his team never met defeat. He, ha, ha. They make me laugh. Both the Courier and the American of Pittsburgh are silent on our prediction that Posey is one scared soul when he thinks there's a chance of losing. Had he known of the outcome of that game with the Legion he never would have made the trip. Right now it is said that he has steered clear of Cincinnati, Ohio, because the former "Y" team is a formidable one. The New York Age, the most conservative colored paper in these parts, jumped on Posey last week and charged him with doing a Jack Dempsey, Posey's "Fourteen Points" reminds us of another bunch of points that received the same consideration at the hands of the European papers that Posey's received at the hands of the colored papers here in New York. All that bunk about a Wills-Dempsey fight. Why don't they let them get together? This stuff of Kearns pulling at his chalins to get a whack at Wills is funny. We knew and we said that something would come off when Jack Kearns announced upon his arrival here he would be ready to talk about a Wills-Dempsey match. Muldoon, chairman of the N.Y. State Athletic Commission, announced shortly after the arrival that he would allow no such a match to take place. Shucks, Kearns knew about Muldoon's attitude long before he arrived. Another thing: Why did Muldoon and his cronies accept that forfeit posted by Wills for a fight with the white champion? They ought to stop that stuff. "Gorgeous Georges" Carpentier is now the most silent man in France. Georges went about Paris cutting up and creating a rumpus demanding that he be given a chance to meet Battling Siki in a return fight. Now that they have lifted the ban on Siki, Georges is the most silent man in France. In fact Georges was so silent he slipped out of his dear Parce and went to St. Moritz to enjoy the winter sports and ducks whenever he sees anybody looking like a newspaper man. ALPHA AND B.A.C. IN CHAMPIONSHIP CLASH vault Center Girls, 27 to 9 The crucial game in the race for the Metropolitan championship is on the card at Labor Lyceum, Brooklyn, next Thursday night, when the Alpha Big Five and the B. A. C. Lightning Five meet in their big return game. The Brooklyn champs jumped away in the lead in the M. B. A. race, Alpha being the only team able to beat them up to this point in the race, Alpha is not undefeated, the St. Christopher youngsters having defeated them in their first meeting, Alpha, however, turned the tables on St. Christopher on Lincoln's Birthday, leaving the boys from across the bridge in the lead, as they have won three games to two for Alpha. The winner of next week's game will probably be the winner of the championship this season. The Brooklyn boys are very anxious for this return clash, as they think Alpha caught them off form on Xmas night and want to prove it in the return game. If Alpha can defeat B. A. C. for a second time they will upset the dope and step back into the lead, while B. A. C. wins they will increase their lead to almost a safe margin. With the teams going down the home stretch, this big game next week, in Brooklyn, will come near deciding who is who among the amateurs. St. Christopher Tigers will meet the crack B. A. C. Lightweights in the first game of the evening and, as these teams are among the best in the lightweight division, some thrilling basketball is sure to result when they clash.

This is the second time that Alford suffered defeat in a week, an unknown fighter at the 15th infantry knocking him cold in the second round last week. The eight between Panama Joe Jans and Jimmie O'Gatty topped the bill and the colored fighter proceeded to give another splendid exhibition of the fistic art to the satisfaction of the big crowd. At no time during the mill did the white boy give any promise of wrestling the honors from Panama Joe, although in the fifth round he staggered the colored fighter who came back and just for that hung a swift left from the floor on the thin of the willing O'Gatty who went down and stayed down until revived a few minutes later by six seconds. The fight between Jack McVeay and Johnnie Willis was brought to an abrupt end in the third round when the referee, to save the white boy from a knockout, pushed him into his corner and had the announcer state that McVeay won by a mile. Willis resorted to the fchnie Curtin stuff of trying to claim a foul every few seconds, but the referee refused to allow him to get away with it and McVeay slammed him every chance he got. Apparently realizing that the color NEW DEMOCRATIC CLUB Entire Building at 132nd St. and Lenox Ave. Taken Over and Nicely for years we have known Albert S. Smith in the amusement world and like a few others in the community, he has staged many affairs at the big casinos and those with whom he had to do business never had occasion to fear that their bills would not be met in the event of fortune refusing to smile on any of his ventures. He always made good and judging from his past record, we are of the opinion that the new Aurora Democrate Urb, which threw open its doors to the members last week, will be a success from the start. Mr. Smith, in conjunction with other well known men, hit upon the idea of using the entire building at 132d street and Lenox avenue over his pool room for the club, and no sooner had they so decided the painters, decorators and others went at it hammer and tongs and had the place from the first floor to the top floor looking spic and span. The place opened with about 200 members on the list and when it becomes generally known that Al is again on the job the list will in time go to more than 500. "We are going to keep within the law," said Smithy one night when we dropped in to give the place the once over, "and we take pride in announcing that this place will be run in a manner to satisfy the most exacting. There will be nothing 'under cover' here and we will have no reason to clash with the authorities." The officers of the new club are, Clarence Brown, President; Will Vaudeville and Motion Pictures ored boys had things their way for the night, as soon as Charlie Arthurs stepped out to face Larry Estridge, he fouled the famous southpaw and showed that he meant it by resorting to the same stuff repeatedly. Estridge hung some of his hefty lefts on Arthurs and this bout too was stopped in the third round when the referee saw that Estridge was biding his time to send over one of those lefts that might have severed Arthur's head from his body. The bouts ended so fast the McMahon boys, running true to form, had the fans sent back to their seats at what was thought the end of the bouts when all hands arose to leave the building after Panama Joe Gans had handed O'Gatty his. Announcement was made that another bout would be put on. The fans hailed this statement with glee. Then they brought out Cowboy Williams to face Henry Shaw and this bout gave the fans full value for every cent spent. As soon as the bell sent them on their way these boys cut loose with everything they had. There was no clutching and the fans were on their feet throughout. From the first round to the last round the boys fought hammer and tongs and the conclusion of the four spams which seemed to end too soon for the fans and not too quick for the fighters, the judges announced it a draw and for once had the satisfaction of knowing the crowd stood with them. It was a big night for colored harlem, especially as Panama Joe departed from his usual line and knocked his man out in good season. Jam Rogers, Vice-President; Albert M. Smith, Treasurer; Frederick D. Nichols, Thomas A. Harris, Jesiah Evans and Morris McKenny, the Steward. Others connected with the Aurora are Percy Morgan, Samuel Swiggett, David Phelpa, John Plankitt, Jimmie Garrett, George Fentres and John Wade. Evenings around at the new place will be enlivened when the how meet and soon it will be the headquarters for a host of our prominent politicians who will gather in the "amen corner" to discuss the issues while viewing the passing show on Lenox avenue Good luck M. we are with you. ACTORS LOST SKIN IN PATCHES IN FILM FIGHT Mute testimony on the joys of acting in motion pictures are the honorable scars and bruises borne by Malcolm McGregor leading man in "Broken Chains," and Ernest Torrence, villain extraordinary of the same picture. The painful tokens are the results of sharp and repeated contact of elbows, knees and shoulders with the rocky ribs of the High Sierra, where this Goldwin company spent three weeks on location, most of which time, it seems to the two men named, they were doing fight scenes, and rolling over and over each other and the shoulder-strewn landscape. "Hardly a rock within a mile of the camp," said Mr. Torrence, "but bears its little trophy of my epidermis. Mr. McGregor lost his proportionate share, but I think I have bested him on a basis of square feet of skin lost." "Broken Chains," which comes to the Lincoln Theatre for four days, beginning today, is the $10,000 prize story, adapted by Carey Wil- Loyal Teams Ready for Big Holiday Games on Thursday, February 22nd Alpha Big Five Will Attempt to Stop Titans and St. Christopher Will Again Tackle Crack Morehouse College Players.

Elliason was the outstanding star in the guard line and foul shooting. Jane Bird also played a brilliant game. Loyal Teams Ready Games on Thursday Alpha Big Five Will Attem Christopher Will Again house College The last big chance this season for New Yorkers to show whether they are satisfied with basketball in amateur circles will present itself at Manhattan Casino when the Alpha Physical Culture Club sends its team against the Titan Athletic Club of Orange, N. J., in a big game at Manhattan Casino tomorrow. Thursday night. If the Titans should win from the New York team it will be an accomplishment of which they would have every reason to feel proud, for no team from Northern New Jersey has been able to wrest victory from one of our New York teams in many years. The Titans are coming over primed for a victory and announces that they are on to Art Vandeveer's style and have nothing to fear from Alpha's pivot end. if Van is sent in against them. J. Mercer Burrel, who came through with the once famous St. Douglas team and threw a scare into our circles some years ago, will act in the capacity of chief second to the New Jersey players, hoping that his youngsters will take advantage of all openlags left by Alpha. In the meantime the Big Five feels certain of victory after taking St. Christopher into camp on the 12th. We would advise the New Yorkers that these boys playing under Dr. Smythe's colors will hear watching as they gave the Spartans their biggest scare early this season at the Orange armory and were coming strong when time went against them. A big dance will follow the game and Alpha has secured some of the best music obtainable to play for those attending the affair. We understand that the New Jersey players will be accompanied by a large number of roots to cheer them in the attempt to defeat Alpha. AT THE LAFAYETTE. Florence Mills, assisted by two of her co-workers in the "Plantation Revue" continues to top the bill at the Lafayette Theatre and is going as big as she did last week. A new array of vaudeville acts surrounds Miss Mills, which includes Sam Davis, Earl Dancer and an expert marksmans whose mark is above the ordinary. A miniature b desque tab closes the bill. Next week "Plantation Days" a colored review which we understand is of high water calibre, will be the attraction at this house. Too bad these colored shows never seem to travel with press agents who can shoot stuff over and give us a line on what's what so that we can relay it to the publie. LA O'NEIL, INC., PRESENTS A VISIT FOR PLEASURE ENJOYMENT ENTERTAIN- MENT Phone Harlem 0967 y for Big Holiday day, February 22nd apt to Stop Titans and St. on Tackle Crack More- ge Players. As in the case of the Alpha Club the St. Christopher Club of St. Philip's Parish will put New Yorkers to a big test next Thursday when they appear at New Star Casino against the basketball team of Morehouse College of Atlanta. The followers of the Southern players look forward to this annual flash between Morehouse and St. Christopher and a large number of graduates and their friends will be on hand to spur the visitors on against the New York team. Although losing to Alpha on the 12th the youngsters of the St. Christopher Club gave no indication that they are going to allow Morehouse to wrest victory from them and the battle will be a hard one from the start as both sides are confident of victory. New Star Casino has for the past two or three seasons been the stamping grounds of St. Christopher and many of the followers of the red, and black machine have decided that in this game at least they will get a chance to see the old machine running at her best and will journey downtown. Coach Bradford has been ironing out the rough edges which made it possible for Alpha to come through with victory against the machine and as the boys will most likely meet again before the season ends. Morehouse will find a determined set of youngsters when they enter the Casino to again try for honors in this section of the country. Morehouse boasts the college championship, hence in wrestling victory from her St. Christopher will be bringing something into a return game with Alpha in the future that should help to bring out a large gathering. These games will start early so as to give the people plenty time for dancing to the strains of an augmented orchestra which will put on a special program of popular dance music.

He is now matched to box at the 47th in Brooklyn on the 20th, in Buffalo on the 26th and in Passaic on the 29th, so you see we are keeping quite busy and also improving all the time which is also a big asset. Major Miller of the 9th Coast told me last Saturday at which time he boxed a boy weighing 145 pounds and won the decision that Morro was the fastest, cleanest and finest fighter that ever boxed at the 9th. I dare say that is quite a compliment.

Dear Sir: I am now in the east; have visited Toledo, Detroit, Cleveland and am now in New York. Will go to Philadelphia from here, stopping at Cincinnati and Indianapolis. First my intention in making such a trip has been to decide the proper course to follow, and what would be best for the interests of our organization. My trip has been all that could be expected and was received as on all former occasions, and those that knew me did not want any explanations concerning the articles that have been sent broadcast all over the country, but asked would I tell the things they know I am in possession of that would straighten out the controversy. I have given the papers all the information concerning the very inner workings of baseball; letters sent by me to Bolden, Strong, Keenan and it is up to them to write and condemn the policies I have been responsible for. They have assured me that they would give the public the true version of the affair. That's all I care for. Bolden sent out a challenge that he and Strong would meet me in public debate, and that Foster could take part of the thousand dollars deposited by Hildale and defray such an expense. Running away with such a bluff is one of Bolden's great efforts to save people from allowing me to show the facts and the kind of man he really is and how little he means to help advance the Negro in his profession. Before I started east I had illegally held Bolden's money. They were to sue me and show the people just what kind of a monster Foster was. Arriving in the east they no longer care to sue me for what they claim but want me to hire a hall for them out of the money, and give the balance to fallen down ball players. I am sorry he shows such weakness, and when he says Bacharachs and Hildale have ever paid me five cents for playing each other, he has told a deliberate lie, and if he can show such proof to any newpaper, send the evidence to me and I will make you a present of $500. Make him prove this for the sake of fairness to me. Bolden has not paid fifty per cent to me for games playing American Giants, nor any other club in the association since it has been organized. He said in his article that such was done. Now any paper that can secure evidence, there is the same amount waiting for them. Just like he has lied about the present condition he has lied about the same things. While playing at Philadelphia as the guest of Hildale coming over 1,000 miles to play him, defeating his club, he secretly laid plane and took Barber, Francis and Whitworth from our club. He has stolen the players from other clubs and withdrew from the association in order to complete other steals. Nothing But the Best. Mr. Romeo L.

Special Offer on Washington's Birthday USED and NEW 195.00 UP If You Trade In Your Old Upright, Square or Phonograph Or as Little as $5.00 Deposit if You Haven't Any Instrument to Return (From the St. Thomas Times) St. Thomas, V. L. U. S. A.-On Monday evening, January 15, a delightful evening was spent at the home, of Mr. and Mrs. Alton A. Adams. The evening was one of those that come too seldom and seem so short. It was a gathering of many friends to pay honor and to welcome to this island, Mrs. Romeo L. Dougherty of Jamaica, Long Island. It was even more than that, as it was also given in commemoration of Mrs. Dougherty's 29th birthday anniversary. The celebration was in the form of a soiree musicale and included among the performers the best talent that will be found in this island. Mrs. Dougherty halls from Washington, D. C. and bears unmistakable evidence of the culture of that city; this quality coupled with a charming personality and good manners have won already for her many friends in this land of hospitality, and numerous indeed were the floral presentations and other gifts which she so gratfully received from many of those admirers and good friends, as manifestations of their admiration and good wishes. Following is the program: Miss Joseph, Messrs. Adams and Thraen Tenor Solo "Tornia a Surrente" Song by Mr. Phil Gomer Piano Solo "Fifth Nocturne" Played by Mr. C. Creque Violin Solo "Minuet in G" Played by Mr. A. Thraen Trio-Flute, Violin, Piano "The Echo" Played by Messrs. Adams, Thraen and Bornn Saxophone Solo Played by Mr. P. O. Nicholson Song "The Sweetest Story Ever Told" Sung by Mr. Phil Gomer Cello Solo Pergolesi Sung by Mr. Phil Gosner Trio—Fiate, Viola, Vince Timo Offenbach *Racarole* *Played by* Miss Joseph. Messas. Adams and Thraa Piano Solo *Rachmannoff* *Prelude in C. Sharp Minor* *Played by Mr. A. Steppenwolf* Monolog *Nitty Nick* Commenting on the program, we will boldly say that it was excellently executed. The opening piece, "Song of Amour," by Mr. A. Nemours, which shows clearly the treatment by a master hand, was a figverture for the concert and its playing by Mr. Hugo Bornn would have been graftying even to the composer. All of Mr. Phil Gomez's songs were charming; he was undoubtedly in his best form and no one will take us to task when we say that his "Absent," by Metcalf, struck the "individual note" and elicited a hearty encore from the appreciative gathering. Mr. Arthur Thraen's renditions give further evidence of his rapid progress and a skill with the how that command attention and give hope for unusual success. Mr. Creque's playing of Leybach's Fifth Nocturne, dreamy and tender, was played with good effect and intelligent interpretation. The trio, by Miss Blanche Joseph and Messrs. Johnnie Watt, eccentric dance, and Charles Quinn, in imitations of the late Bert Williams. Little Bernice Butts, who met with success at the Globe Theatre, will also appear. The music for the night will be furnished by an augmented orchestra under the leadership of Duncan Mayers, who will "put on special numbers for the occasion. The place will be specially decorated and joy will be unconfined from early evening until early morning. Special Offer Birt Adams and Thraen, received their due share of applause, and Mr. Duurloo's "Nina" Arloso of Pergoless, a 'cello solo, was indeed ravishing and taking. It is needless to mention that Mr. Phil Gomez was asked to contribute some more pieces in order to give complete satisfaction, to which he happily responded with some other gems. The saxophone solo, "Scenes That Aro Brightest," by Nicholson, also the monolog by "Nitty Nick," who happens to be one and the same person, met the applause of every one present. Before the conclusion of the program, Bandmaster Adams called the attention of Mrs. Dougherty to two items thereon that needed special comment. They were the compositions of Mr. Nemours and Mr. Nemours himself, whom the leading musical papers in Berlin unhesitatingly classed among modern masters like Moszkowski. The other item was the Prelude in C Sharp Minor by Rachmaninoff, played by one who had made his mark in many cities of England, according to statements by English musicians of note, and to whom, if his health permits, we have all reasons to look forward with hope—Mr. Arthur Stephens. Mr. Leroy Nolte in behalf of the gathering, paid tribute to Mrs. Dougherty, extending to her, in their behalf, the desire to do all that is possible in contributing to make her stay a pleasant one and extending to her the "Many happy returns of the day." Mrs. Dougherty in response thanked all who contributed so nicely in her behalf and assured them that the attention of these good people of St. Thomas will always be remembered and greasured by her. Among the gathering were: Mr. and Mrs. Carl A. Auduze, Mr. and Mrs. Phil Gomez, Mr. Leroy Nolte and Miss Eldra Nolet, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Joseph and Miss Blanche Joseph, Mrs. P. W. Sparks, Mr. and Mrs. P. O. Nicholson, Mrs. Emma Danielson, Mr. Jao. Lightbourn, Messrs. Arthur Donastong, Leopold Moron, Francisco Quinones, Felix Padilla, Amos Benjamin, Beresterd Cancyn, Percy DeJongh, Luther Stakemann, Arthur Thraen, Cyril Cremel, Arturo Durrloon, Hugo Bornn, Roy Bornn, L Taylor, the Misses Watlington, Martina Aldrea, Clemencia Parry. Edna Adams, Mr. Arthur Stephens and Mrs. Ethel Stephens, Mrs. L. A. Thraen, Miss Eva Thraen, Miss Reneta Jeanton and Mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. Adams. Pride of N. Y.

It afforded an oppor- tuolty for fervent prayer. There are times when the soul needs to draw nigh to its great sovereign. Jehovah, in penitential prayer.

REPUBLICAN" The Appomattox Republican Club held open Forum at its regular meeting on last Thursday. The subject discussed "Why I am a Republican." The discussion was opened by Hon. John C. Hawkins, former Assemblyman, in typical dyeing-in-the-wool republican style gave his reasons. He was followed by Mrs. E. Fillmore, who spoke briefly but punctually on the subject. Other speakers were: Course lor Spittin, Mr. Theoreo Smith, Mr. Schoback, Mrs. Easley, Mr. Hamilton Travis and Mrs. Earlman. The subject was fully covered, and every angle was taken care of. Summing up some of the reasons were: because the Republican Party measures nearest to true democracy than any other party; they face up to the basic issues of life and stand for the things which colored the past; the fundamental principles of the pleased many. Their stand for the protection of human rights, life, liberty, property and labor. Because they are possessed of a soul, are unselfish, and have done more for the colored people from the time of its inception than all the other parties combined.

The delicate stomach is irritated, digestion is delayed, food sours, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesia and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This secures the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is sourness, gas or pain.

News of Churches, Fraternities, and Organizations Abyssinian Members to Hold Services in Their New Church MANHATTAN Y.W.C.A. NOTES We remarked last week that the Girl Reserve group was a good one to belong to. You would have thought so, too, if you could have looked in at the two jolly parties they had last week. On Monday afternoon the High School Girls celebrated Lincoln's Birthday with a party and on Wednesday the younger girls gave a Valentine Party. The gym was a riot of color with decorations of red and white—strings and strings of little red hearts, and airy big red balloons. The girls' pretty paper frocks added to the picture and fun reigned! If you are a girl under eighteen and do not belong to the Girl Reserves you are missing a lot of fun and a great opportunity. FOR BROOKLYN CLASSIFIED ADS SEE CLASSIFIED PAGE Lecture Room Temporarily Fitted Up-Will Seat One Thousand. The Abyssinian Baptist Church will hold the first services in the lecture room of their new church on 13th street, near Seventh avenue, next Sunday. This room, which seats 1,000 people, has been compartmentalized up by the contractors and engineers hold services there until the main auditorium has been completed and furnished. The committee hopes to dedicate both buildings during the month of May. The Church and Community House are costing about $15,000, and they are the most modern and valuable buildings of their kind ever erected by colored folk. The remarkable thing about the construction of these buildings is that today they are tree and clear of every congregation having met every day to give a single entertainment to raise money, or without making a general appeal to the public for funds. The fixtures, organ and furniture will cost about $25,000, and the committee is planning now to make an appeal to Harlem to help raise this amount. Since the buildings are for all the people, regardless of church conventions, that the public ought to have a part in the payment for their construction and furnishings. There will be three services Sunday. Rev. A. Clayton Powell, the pastor, will preach at 11 A. M., Dr. W. P. Hayes, of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, accompanied by his choir at 3:30 P. M., and Rev. Arthur J. Byppe, the assistant pastor, at 7:45 P. M.

PRESSSED BY CONTEMPORARY KNOWLEDGE, in the form of books is being stolen from the West 135th Street Branch of the New York Public Library, according to statements made by the Librarian of the Branch and by the Special Investigator, who state that during last year the percentage of books stolen from the Harlem Branch was higher than that of any other library in the city; almost as many books being stolen as were put in. THIS IS INDEED A DISGRACE to the community and should be stopped at once, even if several "bookworms" have to be sent to the workhouse. IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US INFERIOR DRUGS and chemicals, as well as dangerous whiskey, are being dispensed in hundreds of mushroom drug stores that have been established since the advent if prohibition, according to a warning sent out by the New York State Pharmaceutical Association. The warning is important to all of us, and is as follows: "MORE NEW DRUG stores have been opened in New York State since the Volstead Act went into effect in January, 1920, than during the entire ten years preceding that time," says a recent bulletin of the State Society. "In 1921, 302 new stores were registered with the Board of Pharmacy and 380 more were added to the list in 1922. There are 690 more drug stores in the State now than when the prohibition law went into effect and 514 more than in 1917, the previous 'high water mark' in drug store registration. "MANY OF THESE new stores are owned by former saloonkeepers and others who have gone into the drug business only because, as drug store owners, they are permitted to buy intoxicating liquors—which they later divert for beverage purposes. Dangerous, diluted and 'doctored' whiskey is being dispensed by these men. Drugs of doubtful quality are being sold by them. They are giving pharmaceutical service that is a menace to public health. More than 300 violations of the pharmacy law were reported by inspectors of the State Pharmacy Board Inspectors last year in stores owned by non-pharmacists. "REPUTABLE PHARMACISTS are determined to rid the retail drug field of these undesirable store owners and are supporting a bill just introduced in the State Legislature which would limit the ownership of drug stores to registered pharmacists. Such a law would make it possible for the State Board of Pharmacy to put out of business any persistent violator of the prohibition or pharmacy law simply by revoking his professional license. This is a public health measure. It would confine professional practice to professionally trained men. It should have the support of every right—thinking citizen.

EXPRESSED BY CONTEMPORARIES THE RACE CONFERENCE AGAIN (Pittsburgh American) Mr. Kelly Miller say: that if the various organizations will name representatives to a race conference, he will call them together, and the conference may proceed to business. The Pittsburgh American objects to this conference being composed of representatives from organizations only. This will not make the conference representative of the whole body of Negroes. That is, if Mr. Miller means by organization, only those bodies of the type that have been mentioned in the discussions. Kelly Miller say; that if the various org will name representatives to a race of the will call them together, and the conference to business. The Pittsburgh Amts is to this conference being composed of lives from organizations only. This will the conference representative of the of Negroes. That is, if Mr. Miller mea-zation, only those bodies of the type been mentioned in the discussions. A conference is going to be held that ha- to be effective, some way must be for the average Negro represented. The av- will not be represented if the conference up entirely of leading Negroes and lead in movements and institutions. Such a If a conference is going to be held that has any chance to be effective, some way must be found to have the average Negro represented. The average Negro will not be represented if the conference is made up entirely of leading Negroes and leaders of various movements and institutions. Such a conference would be no more representative of the whole body of colored people than the Senate of the United States is representative of, and speaking for the whole people of the country. A very wide gap has opened between our race leaders and those whom they are intended to lead. There is such a vast economic and intellectual difference between the Negro at the top and the millions below who are anxiously waiting for someone to lead them out of the mire and the clay. We are not speaking of those natural and legitimate differences which exist between culture and ignorance, between ability and incompetence. We are speaking of those differences which come when certain individuals, having risen to the top forget their racial kinship in those below, often try to prove that they feel themselves to be a group apart and not exposed to the danger and insecurity of the common herd. This sort of thing has gone on within the Negro's ranks in America. A few thousand Negroes have acquired education, wealth and the opportunity to mingle with whites of culture and wealth. The result is, that this type of Negro has developed an attitude of mind which really unites him for leadership. There are exceptions, but we are speaking of the group as a whole. This Negro is almost a new species. His education and economic position have not been put unselfishly at the service of the race, but have been used rather to enhance the individual's own status, and give him greater luxury and case. But of course, it is the man lower down, who makes this luxury, power and ease possible. It is a sort of unorganized feudalism grown to full stature within a race which also gets the same sort of deal from outside. It would be useless then for such a group of men and women to get together, and attempt to speak the mind of twelve millions of people. Some way must be devised for the plain everyday Negro to be a full fledged member of any race conference that has any chance at all to get anywhere. It means nothing that the intellectuals among us can best the rest of us in debate, that they can express themselves in beautiful phrases, that they have acquired all the learning of the schools, or that they have ability to organize corporations, and are past masters in the fine art of politics. The devil can win an argument, and do other wonderful things and yet be wrong. The Negro, in America, has got to develop leaders who will office themselves, who will go into the gutter if necessary, and yet not get muddy, who will sympathise with ignorance and intolerance, and yet remain intelligent and tolerant. Our leaders must be of the masses and for the masses, yet always going in front of them. We have not reached this point in our racial life as yet. Sacrifice, sympathy, loyalty and courage are more necessary virtues in race leaders than intellect or wealth. Of course, where these qualities are found together there is the ideal leader. Our point of view is illustrated in the careers of men like John Brown, Garrison, Douglass and Lovejoy. It is supremely illustrated in the life and deeds of Mahatmas Gandhi, the Indian leader. Here is an Ozontan, a brilliant lawyer and student with a most wonderful career before him in the Indian Government or at the bar, had he been willing to sacrifice his people and his ideals. Because he would not sacrifice his people and his conscience, Gandhi is in jail. But who will say that he has not shown the spirit of true leadership? DR. GRANT (Buffalo American). A great number of ugly, unchristian things are being said about one who has dared to express his opinion. All of which is a defence of Christianity. Christianity must be in a sad plight if we must employ unmany terms in its defense. A close analysis of Dr. Grant's sermon, which made such a ripple, will disclose the fact that man attack has been made upon Christianity, but that he has stated his unbelief in some of the common accepted facts concerning the birth of Christ, and a Coub that Jesus possessed the same power as God. It is strange how we so often miss the real food and make much fuss eating stubble. We need to make the distinction between Doctrine, Creed and Christianity. Doctrine is primarily that which is taught by the Church Fathers, to support the historic position of its own faith. Creed is a summary of religious belief. Neither of these is Christianity within itself. It should be easily appreciated that Doctrine and Creed is not static, but dynamic. So if the Creed or Doctrine of a thousand years are not unacceptable to one who lives in this twentieth century let us by all means be charitable toward such individuals. Bear this in mind that Jesus did not come to earth to teach about His birth, but rather to teach men how to live on the earth as brethren, and to honor God as their Father. When we see the preface, the hatred, the suffering because of man's in humanity to man, which surrounds us, we must agree that there is so much of the real teaching of Jesus needed among men, we can spend our energy more profitably teaching men of the Christ way of LIFE.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EXPRESSES APPRECIATION To the Editor of the Amsterdam News. Sir: May I express my sincere appreciation of the splendid progress the Amsterdam News has made under your guidance? You have brought to it manly, intelligent and independent viewpoint, and I am sure that the public will show its appreciation by giving you the support such landable work merits. I like particularly your editors' "Sfool Pigeon Letter" and "We Win Either Way" in your last two issues. You are getting into your stride. Do not forget that there is in New York an intelligent Negro public that will read Negro papers that are properly edited, and that their interests are world wide. It is scarcely necessary to remind you of the illimitable opportunities for service and subsequently profit, here; but editorial intelligence and vigor must precede circulation, which in turn precede advertising. Negro journalism in New York is still on a rather low plane—partisan, backward and catering most to people who have apparently either lost the ideals or are without any. Negative factors are rehashed to the point of boredom; positive things are for the most part ignored or treated without an comprehension. If in the center of white civilization and in the most populous Negro city in the world we can produce journals worthy of the name, then we must admit we lack capacity for development in a favourable millennium. Yours truly. ARTHUR E. KING. 2340 Seventh Avenue, February 19, 1923. May I express my sincere appreciation of the splendid progress the Amsterdam News has made under your guidance?

I am in accord with the views set out by Dean Pickens and wish, with your permission, to inform such of your readers that the old-time religion has lost its grip and that for some little while a group of men and women have been meeting every Sunday night at the Harlem Community Church, 149 West 136th street, to help to disseminate the errors tacked by Dean Pickens and to propagate the modern ideas which alone are able to attract and hold the thinking men and women of today.

Noted Author Talks at 135th St. Library The fight between the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Universal Negro Improvement Association has reached such a stage that it is not unreasonable to impartially review both groups and see what should be preserved and what destroyed in each organization for the best interests of the public at large. The names of both denote progress. One wishes to "adance", the other to "improve". One has for its objective building up the historic Motherland, Africa; the other, equality in America. If both carry out their programs, both will render a distinct service to the Negro race. But for either to forget its primary purpose for existing and devote its entire time to telling the other: "Your program is impossible", is like the pot calling the kettle black. In the first place, neither program will be realized soon. The very foundations of each denote a continuous struggle in their respective fields. In the second place, if the public finds that the cardinal principles are suddenly forgotten and the controversy drops to A PRIZE of $200 is offered jointly by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and history in cooperation with the American Folklore Society for the collection of tales, riddles, proverbs, sayings, and songs, which have been heard at home by Negro students of accredited schools. The aim is to study the Negro mind in relation to its environment at various periods in the history of the race and in different parts of the world. Students desiring to compete should give their names to the head of their institution that he may forward them to the Director of the Association, who will answer all necessary inquiries.

By keeping your homes and your bodies clean. Disease hides in dirt.) 2. By getting FRESH AIR Clement Wood Urges Race to Change White Man's "Stereotype." Clement Wood, author and poet, addressed the Booklovers Club at the West 135th Branch library last Wednesday evening. His subject was "What the Negro can Give to Literature", this, he said, was at present, chiefly an interpretation of himself to the white man. "All literature" he said "is a crystallization of man's desire. It means I want that." There are two methods of expressing this desire, he said, by realism and romanticism. In the latter the author presented what he wished to bring about as being already accomplished, the good was triumphant and the handsome, dashing hero married the beautiful heroine. In the latter life was presented as it was, the mirror was held up to nature, so that all could see. It was in this vein, that he had written his book "Nigger," he said to whose title so many Negroes had objected. "When I wrote that book" he said, "I never thought of the Negro readers at all. I wrote for the white people. I painted things that are in an effort to show my race the great difficulties that beset Negroes when they tried to rise. The story is of an aspiring Negro family who leaves the black belt for the South, where they are living on the "dollar down, dollar a week for the rest of life," plan. The picture is an unpleasant one, but true, nevertheless. North Still Thinks of Runaway "Why have a spineless autocar To Be Awarded by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History.

If members of two organizations cannot go about their business carrying out their respective programs—which are basically not programs of destruction—without being disgraced by personal fights between their respective leaders, then both leaders should be repudiated. Now what about the charges flying to and fro? First, the followers haven't anything to do with those charges—because they didn't make them. The followers joined with their respective leaders to carry out what they believed to be a good program. To be sure they have a right and ought to be loyal in a crisis. But they have no right to give their support until their cause denotes a public nuisance rather than a public service. They have no right to be worked into a freepy until they hate every one who is not of their cult. They have no right to become suspicious of every one who is not as wild and excited as they. It is then that they become victims of personal grievances, rather than followers of constructive leaders. So that, rather than become demoral- should not be included. They will not be counted. In all cases the story, riddle or song should be written as heard, in exactly the same language. If they have been heard in dialect, then they should be written in dialect, if they have been heard in school English, then they should be written in school English. When possible, music should accompany songs. Also, when possible, the name and locality of the person from whom the song or tale was heard should be given. Collections should be sent to Dr. C. G. Woodson, at 1358 Ninth St., Northwest, Washington, D. C., at any time before August 1, 1923. Collections may be sent in two or more parts, and competitors are advised to send the first part of their collection in the near future that they may have the opportunity of receiving indoors and out (Disease germs do not live in fresh air). 3. Get 8 to 10 hours' sleep a night and SLEEP WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN. 4. Exercise every day in the open and, if possible, in an hour when you can be in the SUNSHINE. Some germs are killed by sunlight, and none of them like it. 5. Eat the right kind of food; you should have a fruit, plenty of vegetables and a cereal every day. Have either meat or fish or eggs or cheese every day. Milk could take the place of some of these things, for milk is the most perfect food of all. One glass of milk that costs only six cents can do your body as much good as a piece of meat that costs ten cents. 6. See that you have no bad teeth. Germs live in the holes of your teeth. CLEAN YOUR ion of presidents and law-makers, North, South and West, permitted the laws giving equal rights to the Negro to be violated?" he asked. "Why doesn't the North, the land of Garrison Sumner and Wendall Phillips rally to the side of the Negro now? It is because of the mental picture—the stereotype in the brain of the Northern whites regarding Negroes. Northerners still think of Negroes as runaway slaves. They are willing to give charity but not an opportunity to develop manhood. The South still has the black mummy type in mind and it is ready to lynch the black mummy's children when they depart from that stereotype. "When a white man thinks of a Negro he has a stereotype in nie brain that runs like this: black face, thick lips, poverty, lack of culture, vice, unrestrained passions of every kind. He thinks of Johnson, Skii, Battle not of Pushkin, Tanner, the Johnsons, McKay Fauset, and other Negroes of distinction. Now what is your job? To change it—to build up a different stereotype. It is a very very hard task but still Negroes will have to do it if they wish the whites to think differently." He spoke of another kind of stereotype being built up in popular magazines as that by Roy Cohen, whose characters he said were "Jews in blackface. I have lived in the South all my life and have never seen any Negro that was like that." Negro Leads in Contributions. In speaking of the contributions of the respective races to American life he said that there were six things distinctively American, and that they were By Floyd J. Calvin ized and undermining, it is better to dismiss the leaders before the leaders destroy the unity of the people, for the people can always produce new leaders, but the same leaders cannot regain the confidence of their former supporters. Who constitute the respective movements? What are the real differences between the two groups? The N. A. A. C. P. has typical "American" ideals—"Advancement," "political equality." The U. N. I. A. has "universal ideas—"improvement," "redeeming Africa." Now everybody wants to see the Negro "advance"—to political equality if he can. Likewise everybody wants to see the Negro "improve"—if he had a Motherland he would not be any the worse off. The immediate program of the U. N. I. A. is businesses, self-respect, pride of race, race consciousness and general uplifting. Certainly this would be a blessing to all. The immediate program of the N. A. A. C. P. is civil rights. There is nothing wrong with this. What must be done? Simply "improve" and "advance"—the "leaders" to the contrary notwithstanding. suggestions about methods of continuing and completing their collection during the summer vacation.

He gave many illustrations of peoples who had been forgotten simply because they had no literature, or had had their records destroyed. The Negro, he insulated, must make every effort to build up his own literature—a realistic literature. Wrote on Conditions in Alabama.

INIQUITOUS BARGAIN The 15th Amendment for the 18th Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, delivered an address to a recent meeting of the American Bar Association. His subject concerned the growth and strength of lawlessness in the United States. He rightly ascribed this evil tendency to the disrespect for law inspired by failure to enforce the Constitution of the nation, mentioning the 15th and 18th amendments especially. But President Butler's whole speech shows that he is not so much interested in the enforcement of any amendment, as in trading off the 15th for the 18th. This is plainly immoral, and would lead to even greater disrespect for all law—and for human nature. Mr. Butler does not say so plainly, but the whole tenor of his argument, as of many arguments in the New York World on the same subject, might lead one to this conclusion: That the North does not like the 18th Amendment, while the South does not like the 15th—and that the North is ready to say to the South: "Now, if you try to make us abide by the 18th, we'll make you abide by the 15th. The one is objectionable to you, the other to us. Why can't we just compromise the situation and acknowledge that both these Amendments are unenforceable and repeal them?" That is the tenor of this college president's speech. He is not so plain as that, of course. He says it like a lawyer. But the spirit is thinly covered in the camouflage of words. The 15th Amendment concerns the right to live, to vote, to be free, to "life, liberty" and all other happiness—to all of the only reasons for living at all—while the 18th concerns the right to drink. And yet, there are people in the North who would "trade" the one for the other. They shall not do it: for the corporations, the foreignborn, the Jews and all other non-Protestants, and almost all other minority groups are bound to interest with the Negro to uphold and preserve the greatest of all our Constitutional Amendments—the Fifteenth. Book Chat by MARY WHITE OVINGTON "AFRICA AND THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA" THIS is the second part of a work to be completed in three volumes. Its thesis is a new one: that Negroes from Africa visited America before Columbus and left their mark here. This second volume concerns itself with evidences in America of African civilization as seen in the introduction of cotton, tobacco and shell money. I wish that I might be able clearly to present Prof. Wiener's argument, but this is impossible, because this very learned scholar cannot present it clearly himself. His book is for experts who can disen-tangle salient facts from a mass of evidence, a mass that shows a learning prodigious in its scope. Leo Wiener is a professor of Slavic languages at Harvard University; and in his first volume, he related his discovery of African influence in America. his civilization from the Arabs, those marvellous folk who have consistently malligned by the Christians through the centuries to today. I have spoken of the learning evinced in this book. I counted in the word index reference to 12 European and 9 Aslatic languages, to 13 American and 33 African dialects, and then stopped, not through, only tired. One of my friends who is a While working on a comparative grammar of American languages, he came upon a number of words that study told him were corruptions or adaptations of words used by the Negroes in Africa, especially by the Mandingoes. In this second volume he tells especially of material signs of African influence. There can be little doubt that in some things African influence was exerted before Columbus. Probably the Mandingoes first reached America in the middle of the fifteenth century, with the Portuguese explorers. The Mandingoes were a sturdy tribe, and if we look on the map we can see that the trip from Western Africa to Northern South America was not an impossible one, though it must have required immense courage to take it in a canoe. I remember seeing in Norway the open boat, like a large dory, in which the Norseman is reputed to have made his early discovery of North America. At least the African came over milder waters. That they did come Professor Wiener does not doubt. He shows us, among other things, two pictures, one of an African, another of an Indian stockade. There is indeed an extraordinary similarity between the two. One is reminded of the intercating chapters in Brawley's "Social History of the Negro" concerning the close association of the Negro and Indian in this country. Wienner has a great deal to say about tobacco, relating the story of nicotine from very ancient days to the sixteenth century. It was brought by the Arabs to the Negroes, and they in turn brought it to the Indians, "possibly a century before America's so-called discovery." At first tobacco was used only by the priests in their rites. In the wampum with which the Indians first traded with the Americans, we again see an African origin. And lost the African become too puffed up with pride at this precedence we would note that Jeff Wienner finds that he got (Volumne 2)* his civilization from the Arabs, those marvellous folk who have been consistently insigned by the Christians through the centuries to today. I have spoken of the learning evinced in this book. I counted in the word index referenc to 12 European and 9 Asiatic languages, to 15 Ameri can and 33 African dialects, and then stopped, not through, only tired. One of my friends who is a historian tells me, that it is dangerous to base historical research on seeming similarity of language and that Wiener is looked upon as somewhat hasty in so doing. He answers this criticism in his proface where he speaks of archaeologists who "insist upon denying all but the archaeological evidence and shower upon an objective investigator a veritable deluge of abuse." We are sympathetic with the "objective investigator and trust that the Mandingoes did bring good things to this continent, when they came here of their own free will." When the evidence is more complete it will be an interesting story for colored children, that of these brave black sailors who dared to cross the Atlantic and who carried thither cotton and tobacco that their descendants, later unwillingly dragged here, were to plow and reap. 135th St. Library Notes. There will be no meeting of the North Harlem Community Forum on February 22nd. The speaker for March 1st will be announced later. The next "Enjoyment of Books Evening" will be for the young poets. Several of the best colored poets of the younger group will be invited to read from their works at this time. A striking new book which has been placed in the Library is Wilfred Scawen Blunt's "Secret History of the English Occupation of Egypt."
