Appomattox Captains and West Harlem Clubs Join Hands in Fight For Voice in Councils. Harlem political circles have been stirred to the depths by the announcement that formal request bearing the endorsement of the party leader of the 21st Assembly District will be filed with Chairman Samuel S. Koenig of the Republican County Committee by influential Republicans of the 21st District, for revolutionary changes in the operation of the party machinery as applied to the colored voters. This action is the direct result of a conference held recently at the Manhattan Republican Club at the suggestion of former Attorney General Robert S. Conklin, leader of the 21st District, the most populous colored district in the country. As the outcome of that conference, participated in by representatives of the Appomattox Republican Club, Republican Captains Club, West Harlem Republican Club, county committeemen and party workers, a committee of nine influential Republicans was designated to survey, the existing political conditions, and to place the growing defection of voters away from the party, together with means of halting this egress before the leader of the county organization. Following a meeting of this committee held on Wednesday in the rooms of the association of Trade and Commerce, copies of the presentment to be filed with Chairman Koenig were handed to the press, and the following statement was made by Hamilton Travis and former assemblyman John Clifford Hawkins: "The growing discontent of colored Republicans, here, which finds expression in a startling egress from the party, must have basic causes. "It becomes the duty of those who maintain interest in the political progress of the race to analyze the situation and to urge the institution of prompt means of remedy. "In the judgment of this committee the defection of last year was nation wide and attributable directly to the dissatisfaction of an intelligent colored electorate with the course perated by the party throughout the nation. "It becomes apparent that the indifferent minds in the leadership of the party must be made acquainted with the aspirations of our people in these times, and of their intense desire to be 'of the party' as well as 'in the party.' "The presentment, while in no (Departed on Faxe 2). Insulted Colored Woman, Stabbed By Her Escort (Preston News Service.) ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 27.—Felix Alexander, white, alleged to have been under the influence of Intoxicants, is in the Grady Hospital suffering from a stab wound said to have been inflicted by the male escort of a prominent society woman last Monday night. According to the police, Alexander walked up Piedmont avenue and, meeting the couple, said to the woman, "leave that nigger and come with me." A fight ensued resulting in Alexander being stabbed. The assailant escaped. The name of the young woman has not been learned by the police. Musician Kicked; Police Jail Him Musician Kicked; Police Jail Him Instrument Cracked in the Melee Plainclothes Men Assist in Arrest. Oscar Taylor received a little dose of law and order in front of a restaurant near Second Avenue and 11th Street, Monday night, and spent yesterday in jail thinking it over. Taylor, it seems, was a strolling player with a guitar, who attempted to perform in the restaurant. He was thrown out, however, and his guitar was cracked in the process. He insisted he would not leave the spot until the restaurant owners paid him for his damaged guitar. "I want the law," he kept saying to the crowd, that gathered quickly around him. Two members of the crowd, who were signalled by a man from the restaurant, began to maltreat the musician and knocked him down, but they could not get him to leave the spot. Soon two plain clothes men appeared on the scene and hustled him away from the restaurant, asking him "whether he wanted to go home or to jail." "I want to go to jail," he said. "Do you want to go home or to jail," the plain clothes men reheated, and again Taylor insisted they take him to jail. The next time the question was accompanied by a blow across the face. Two policemen then appeared, and a bystander said to one of them that he "thought they were giving the Negro a raw deal." Whereupon the bluecoat gave him a blow that sent him rooling on the sidewalk and admonished him to "beat it." The plain clothes men then marched Taylor off to jail. LOST RELATIVES.

Night Watchman Robbed by Thug Staggers to Police Station and Reports That Colored Man Had Committed the Deed. UTICA, N. Y., Feb. 23.—Beaten and robbed in the cellar of the Horrocks-Ibotson plant on Whitesboro Street, where he is employed as a night watchman. Patrick Bree, 68, white, lay unconscious on the floor for nearly three hours, regained consciousness and stuck to his post until relieved, and then made his way to the police station and told his story. Within an hour Francis Washington, 24, colored, who visited Bree five minutes before the assault, was under arrest charged with the crime. Heavy evidence is being piled against him by the police who feel that they have the right man although Washington declares his innocence. Shortly after midnight Bree said he left the plant to buy a loaf of bread at the American Hotel opposite, where he tendered a $10 bill in payment for the bread. It was at the hotel he asserted that he met Washington, whom he had known from childhood and with whom he was good friends, Washington walked back to the plant with him for a brief visit and reaching there Bree went to the clock to punch his time. Washington, he said, stood at one end of the cellar while he went to the other—where the clock is located. After registering, he says that he turned to join Washington and walked but a few feet when he was knocked down by blows that rendered him unconscious. When he regained consciousness about three o'clock Bree found most of his pockets turned inside out and about $18 taken from him. He asserted that he felt that he should not then leave the place but should remain on guard and searched through the plant for his assailant. At G o'clock when he was relieved he reported the crime to Headquarters. Washington was arrested shortly afterward but nothing of an incriminating evidence was found on him. Arranged before Judge Fred E. Lewis in the City Court, Washington pleaded not guilty to a charge of first degree robbery. Ball was fixed at $3,300 in default of which Washington was sent to jail until March 1st when the core will be called for a hearing. The prisoner has a police record but this is the time he has been taken into custody on a serious charge. ```markdown ``` WHITE WOMAN AND NEGRO CONVICTED Marie Heckman, 22 (white), and Ernest Robinson, a native of Trinidad, both of Astoria, L. I., were brought before Judge Craith in General Sessions last Friday. The former charged with stealing clothing and other articles of value from Franklin, Simon and Co., the latter with receiving them. The two had been living, together. Both pleaded guilty. A plea for mercy was made for the attractive white girl, by the defense, on the ground that her mother had died recently and she was the sole support of an eleven-year-old sister. A similar plea was made for Robinson because he had a distinguished war record, and came from a good family. Marie Heckman was given three months in the pentagonal, while Robinson received a suspended sentence, on condition that he leave for Trinidad not later than March 9. Robinson was directed to forward notice of departure to the court, and that he remain away from New York State for three years. MADAME HARDAWAY MAKES STATEMENT To the Public: Mme. M. E.

Fear of Ku Klux Causes Shooting (Preston News Service, MEMPHIS, TENN., Feb. 27—On account of the numerous outrages of the Ku Klux Klan in southern states Negroes are not taking any chances at night by opening the doors of their homes whenever anybody knocks without first demanding who is there, what they want and why. Joe. Loughridge, a southern white man, went to the home of Arnold Davis and sought entrance into the cabin. It is said that Loughbridge went into that section to bring his wife back to Memphis. He is said to have become confused as to the address and knocked on the door of Davis' home. Davis demanded to know his name and what he wanted. Loughridge refused to give his name and demanded entrance. Several words followed. Davis opened the door and fired with a shotgun. Loughridge shouted for help. Liter when polico officials arrived at the Davis home they found Loughridge lying on the doorstep. The police say that the Negroes were afraid to open the door. Loughridge was taken to the hospital and after breaking down the door Davis was captured and brought to police headquarters.

P., Dr. Du Bois and James Weldon Johnson in Speech. Between 1200 and 1500 persons turned out last Friday night at Carnegie Hall, to hear Marcus Garvey, President-General of the U. N. I. A., tell of "The Future of the Black and White Races," last Friday evening. About twenty white persons were present. The program was a fine one and it was well rendered. The Black Star Line Band gave, among other selections, an overture from "Rigolotto" that would have been a credit to any band, white or black, in the city. The demonstration by the auxiliaries—Legion, Motor Corps, Juvenile and Black Cross Nurses of the U. N. I. A., New York Divisions—was a photographed and rhythmic, and showed a high degree of training. Miss Ethel Oughton Clarke, Prof. Packer Ramsey and the Perfect Harmony Four gave well-rendered selections. Prof. W. H. Forris, master of ceremonies, in a brief speech, outlined the aims and achievements of the U. N. I. A. "No matter how hard I try to help the Negro, N. I. A. has swept the world like a tidal wave. No movement since Abraham Lincoln has so electrified the Negro race," he said. Mr. Garvey began by declaring that he felt no animosity towards the aims and ideals of the other races of the world, that he was neither anarchist, nor Bolshevist, nor that he was in any way opposed to the government of the United States. Each race is entitled to rule in its country, he said, and that as a black man he felt that black men should rule in Africa.

Secretary After Five Minutes' Deliberation — Defense Makes Motion to Set Verdict Aside — Hearing March '16 May Bring Charge of Conspiracy. Complete vindication of Thomas A. Taylor, Executive Secretary of the West 135th Street Y. M. C. A. was the result of the criminal libel case against the Community Publishing Co., which came to a close last Friday after six days' hearing before Judge Crain in General Sessions. The defense was unable to prove anything they had published about Taylor's morals, except that he had been seen on the streets with Mrs. Alice Conley, his former private secretary. The jury, after a few minutes' retirement, and on the first ballot, brought in a verdict of guilty against the publishers of "The Despatch." Hit Realty Agent's Head With Bottle Hit Realty Agent's Head With Bottle Discharged By Magistrate in Police Court. In a very hotly contested case tried before Magistrate Rittenberg in the Washington Heights Police Court, where Abraham Oberstein, an attorney at 200 Fifth avenue, appeared in behalf of Mrs. Jennie Harris charged with having assaulted a Mr. Perry, agent for the Garden Court apartments at No. 205 West 118th street, with a bottle. Mrs. Harris, a colored woman, has been living in this house for quite some time. The apartment above her is occupied by another colored tenant. While painters were renovating the apartment above Mrs. Harris, it is alleged, water came through the celling and into her apartment. Going to ascertain the cause, she learned, she says, that the water had been deliberately split so that it would run into her apartment and make it disagreeable for her. This was done, she says, so as to cause her to leave, as the owners had decided to put the colored tenants out and rent only to white tenants. Remonstrating with Agent Perry, who was in the apartment at the time, it is allied that abusive words were exchanged. Perry claims that Mrs. Harris took a large bottle and threw it at him, cutting his head. Perry, who was also represented by counsel, in the infinities of the ownera, had as witnesses in pressing the charge of assault, the two painters and a policeman, who stated that he found Mrs. Harris with the bottle in her possession. Attornoy Abraham Oberstein appeared for Mrs. Harris and contended that the assault came about by Perry, who attempted to strike her and that she used the bottle in self defense. Although Mrs. Harris had no witnesses to corroborate her statement, and in the face of testimony against her by the two painters, the court honourably discharged her. The articles attacking Taylor's morals were based on an affidavit given to the Despatch by Mrs Taylor. Witnesses for the prosecution described Mrs. Taylor as being of a very jealous disposition who would accuse her husband "of flirting with every woman he had ever met"; and of being "a little off religiously." Witnesses testified that she had been a member of the Holy Rollers while in Indianapolis. One of the charges made by Mrs Taylor was that her husband had raped a thirteen-year-old Indian girl, named Lydia Blaine who later she said became the mother of his child. On this charge the Rev. Richard Ball, of 43 Ann street, New Britain, Conn., testified that he had known Mr. Taylor for 25 years, and that when he lived in London, Canada, Taylor's former home, he used to visit his home at least once a week over a period of several years, and that he had never seen a "Lydia Blaine" there, nor had he ever heard of anyone living in the town by that name. The woman, "Josephine," with whom Mrs. Taylor accused her husband of adultery, turned out, according to the evidence, to be Taylor's aunt who is sixty-five years old. In gumming up his case Assistant District Attorney Whelan said to the jury: "If the editors of the 'Despatch' had made the least investigation before rushing into print, they would have found the charges to be but the ravings of a jealous woman." Leading Harlemites Testify, Dr. Chas. H. Roberts, Dr. Benjamin Withers, John P. Moss, Rav William Haynes, Rev. A. Clayton Powell, Dr. E. P. Roberts and Mr. Handy, in testifying for the defense admitted that they had given a vote of confidence to Taylor when the talk of his alleged relations with Mrs. Conley first came up, but later voted for his resignation when the articles appeared in the "Despatch." They all denied being influenced in any way in the latter step by the newspaper articles. Dr. Joseph Boyd of Indianapolis testified that Taylor's character, while in Indianapolis, was "excellent." Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop of St Phillip's, P. E. Church Walter Black, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and others spoke in high terms of Taylor's reputation. Attorney Louis A. Lavalle at once made a motion to set the vardict aside. Heasing on this he been set for March 15. Further Action. It was said by prominent "officials that a charge of control will be placed against the Crown publication. PAGE TWO NEW HEAR GARVEY AT CARNEGIE groves ever be able to hold their heads as men.

LIBERIAN MERCHANT AT COMMERCE ASSN Mr. Harold Robert Taylor, a Liberian merchant, spoke at the Association of Trade and Commerce on last Wednesday evening on the "Economics of Liberia" to a representative audience. Mr. Taylor's talk was very instructive and illuminating, and brought out many things about Liberia which the members were pleased to know. Among the things he said were that the Colored people throughout the Nation could help the people of Liberia, by just thinking about Liberia. When asked: How could we help specifically? Mr. Taylor responded, that he thought that the people of New York City, could help considerably by organizing a committee to confer with the Businessmen of Liberia, and through this method bring about a better understanding which would be to the advantage of both peoples.

"FIGHTING PARSON" DEAD Sargent Robt. Stonewall Allen known as "The Fighting" Parson died suddenly on Feb. 22, at his residence, at the age of about 57. He was an active member of the Police Reserves of the 38th Precinct and engaged in many civic affairs. Funeral services were held afternoon, from the National Society, Church, Dr. National Baptist Church, Rev. Moses officiating West Indian and American Negroes Relationship Discussed By Chandler Owen of "Messenger." Chandler Owen Co-editor of "The Messenger" spoke to a packed audience last Sunday afternoon at the People's Educational Forum 161 West 131st St. on "The Problem of the Relationship between the American and West Indian Neighbors." The problem, he said, was fundamentally economic. The cause of migration is a desire for betterment of economic conditions. The real cause that brought the Pilgrim Fathers to these shores, he insisted, was poverty, not persecution. In migrating peoples usually came from a worse county to a better, that is, in an economic sense. "There are three reasons that are the cause of the friction between the American and the West Indian, he said: "First, undermining. The West Indian will accept lower wages, and when he gets into a place will bring in all of his friends and crowd out the Americans. The second charge is the claim of superiority. The British West Indians are more lated than those from the other islands because they are more offensive in their assertions of superiority and there are more of them. The third cause is failure to naturalize, and thus not be able to help solve the problem they have created." The West Indians he also found were more submissive, and inclined to litteration. "West Indians," he said, would hardly settle anything out of court which may be settled in court, while "Americans will scarcely settle anything in court that can be settled out. British people are more law abiding. Americans more inclined to lynch law." It was because of this that he found West Indians more submissive and inclined to "hoot licking." Other causes of friction named were different of accent, dress, and national ideals suggested remedies. Two methods of solution were offered by the speaker: first, the limitation of immigration, and second the scattering of the West Indians into other parts of the country, which he said, would have the same effect as the scattering of the American Negroes. The speaker in closing declared that he had no national prejudices and called upon all Americans and West Indians to unite and fight for the betterment of conditions affecting them as a race. Soyazal objections some of them heated were made to the address, W. A. Domingo pointed out as to the limitation of immigration that according to the 1920 census there were only 73,803 foreign born Negroes in the United States of which number less than 60,000 were British West Indians. "776 West Indians came to the United States in the year ending June 1922" he said, "but 820 left, leaving a total of 156." Edgar Gray pointed out that there were 1336 businesses run by, white men in Harlem, only 46 of which employed Negroes. "If the American Negro was animated by the spirit of anti-forfeitism," he said, "why isn't he opposed to the white people doing business in Harlem, most of whom are foreigners." Other speakers insisted that the real cause of the trouble was the superior attitude of the British Negro, and that as the principal speaker had pointed out subject peoples were usually "miniature mirrors of their over-lords," that the British Negro had adopted the aristocratic attitude of the English people, thus making himself offensive. Others said that the white man regarded both Americans and West Indians as Negroes, that they suffered the same discrimination, and that instead of disagreeing both should stand together for their mutual good. It was announced that Mr. W. A. Domingo will speak on the same topic about the third week in March. MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN BOOK-LOVERS AND PUBLIC LIBRARY There has been a misunderstanding between the Book Lover's Club and the 135th Street Library. The former who used to meet in the library felt that they were crowded out, and said so in the papers last week. Miss Ernestine Rose, the librarian when interviewed by a representative of the Amsterdam News said: "My reason for having the Book-evalings to be bring visitors to the library in touch with authors who have arrived. I prepared a statement for the Book Lover's Club to the effect that I would be glad to have the club act as a nucleus for the library talks, and suggested that the ladies act as hostesses, but the letter did not reach the club in time for the special meeting of its executive committee."

The Supreme Court of the United States reversed the decision of the Arkansas Court in the Riot Case which condemned five colored men to death for inciting and participating in the Elaine riot of September, 1919. The case was sent back to the United States District Court in Arkansas, to determine whether or not the men received a fair trial in the Court in Arkansas. The opinion of the court was delivered by Justice Holmes, who said: "This is an appeal from the order of the District Court of the Eastern District of Arkansas, dismissing a writ of habeas corpus, upon demurrier, the presiding Judge certifying that there was probable grounds for appealing the case. The appellants are five Negroes who were convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death by the Court in Arkansas. The ground for the petition of the writ is that the proceedings in the State Court, although a trial in form, were only pressure of a mob without any regard for their rights, and without according to them, due process of law. "On November 3rd, the petitioners were brought into Court, informed that a certain lawyer had been appointed their counsel, and were placed on trial before white jury, blacks being systematically excluded from both grand and petit juries. The court was crowded with a throng that threatened the most dangerous consequences to any one interfering with the desired results. The counsel did not venture to demand delay or a change of venue, to challenge a jury man or to ask for separate trials. He had no preliminary consultation with the accused, nor called on witnesses for the defense, although they could have been produced and did not put the defendants on the stand. The trial lasted about three quarters of an hour and in less than five minutes the jury brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree.

"Order Reversed. The case stands for hearing before the District Court." Justice McReynolds, of Tennessee, delivered a dissenting opinion and Justice Sutherland, of Utah, concurred.

Ministers Tell Authorities Why Negroes Are Leaving Memphis (Preston News Service) MEMPHIS, TENN., Feb. 27—A committee of Negro ministers representing the "interdenominational Ministers" Alliance here filed a lengthy memorandum with the chairman of the Welfare department of the Chamber of Commerce of Memphis fast Tuesday morning. Among the most important things cited as to why Negroes are leaving the South and Memphis in particular for other sections is police oppression. This is given as the principal cause of Negro migration, which is seriously affecting labor supply. The officials of the Chamber of Commerce immediately took up the matter with the police department and city authorities. The ministers cited two recent killings of Negroes on Scott street as unwarranted. It is claimed that officers unlawfully search Negro homes. The ministers told the officers of the Chamber of Commerce that they were having a hard time in the face of such affairs to convince Negroes that they should remain here in Memphis. One minister-saldaq"I believe that I voice the sentiment of every well meaning Negro in the South when I say that Negroes naturally love the South, but they are human, cannot and will not tolerate police oppression, Ku Kluxism, and lynching. If businessmen, city and state officials, employers and white people of every walk in life will begin to treat the Negro according to the golden rule, labor shortage, shiftlessness and rowdyism will decrease considerably. Things will be better for all." THREATEN NEWARK POLICE Klan protests, threatening to carry into court the action of the Newark police in removing a wreath placed by the Kuklux Klan on the statue of George Washington in Washington Park last Thursday, were distributed by members of the organization among the Newark newspaper offices yesterday. The manifesto, which was said to have been adopted by the George Washington Klan No. 3 at its executive session Friday night, criticized the action of the police force in removing the wreath. TEXAS OFFICIALS AT MEETING AUSTIN, TEX., Feb. 24.—More than fifty members of the House of Representatives are reported to have attended a special meeting of the local Ku Klux Klan last night. The election contest case against Senator-elect Earle B. Mayfield, which has been filed in the United States Senate, was the principal matter discussed. OHIO LAWMAKERS TO TRY AGAIN COLUMBUS, OHIO, Feb. 27—The house of representatives will vote again on legislation aimed at the Ku Klux Klan. This bill by Representative Harding, would make it illegal for members of a secret society to appear in public with masks hiding the face. His first bill, requiring secret societies to file a list of members with the secretary of state, was defeated in the House. ATLANTA, GA., Feb. 27.—"To my mind the menace of the Ku Klux Klan is even more dangerous to prosperity of our farmers than boll weevil. I am in the fight to the finish and believe it advisable to appoint some strong man' in Loulala who has more time than I have. I will gladly do all I can to help him," declared Governor John J. Parker in a message to Governor Hardwick regarding the latter's invitation to attend a conference of southern governors. DENOUNCED BY BISHOP GAILOR (Preston News Service) CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Feb. 27—Bishop Gailor, head of the Episcopal church in America, in an address here last Tuesday denounced the Ku Klux Klan, declaring that he believed that "groups of people who were obsessed with an antipathy for any certain social or religious class are doing more to spread discontent and disorder than any other thing in the United States today." The bishop said that he is opposed to all groups of people who attempt by force to thrust their views upon other citizens of the country.

BELLAIRE, OHIO, Feb. 27.—The demand for laborers is the mills here is so great that it is difficult to secure half enough men to operate the mills at capacity. It is said that 1,200 more laborers are needed. Recently a large number of Negro laborers were imported from the South. Some of these are proving to be dependable workmen and just the kind of workers the officials desire. An official of the Carnegie Steel Company said last Friday: "We can put 1,000 colored men to work in our mills immediately. But we don't want that shiftless class. We want men who want to work. Men who will not quit as soon as they get one pay. The trouble with too many workers is that they seem to have a roving spirit. There is a splendid opportunity here for men who will start in this company and remain on the job. They will be advanced to better paying positions as rapidly as they become qualified." He said they can either come direct to the mill here or get in touch with John T. Clark, 518 Wylle avenue, Pittsburgh. Pa. "We will hire all we can get." MAN KILLED IN "FLY" WHEEL PITTSBURGH, PA.

CHAUFFEUR WARNS WOMAN; POLICE SHOOT (Preston News Service). MEMPHIS, TENN., Feb. 27.—When an unidentified colored chauffeur remarked to a white woman who apparently became bewildered while crossing the street in front of the automobile he was driving, "you should watch where you are going," he was forced to flee for his life. His remarks were overheard by a policeman who ordered the man to draw his machine to the curb. The driver did so. The officer asked him what business he had making insulting remarks to a white woman. The boy replied that he had not made insulting remarks. The officer replied: "Don't get smart you damn nigger." The driver started to walk away from the officer who then, fired at him. The policeman falling to halt the driver, then took the automobile to the police station. COLORED SOLDIER INHERITS $ Ft.

THE NEW YORK TIMES JANUARY 19, 1969 THE NEW YORK TIMES JANUARY 19, 1969 206 West 129th St. - New York City Phone Morningside 702 World's Greatest Basketball Team Here On Sunday Sensational Game at Commonwealth Casino Next Sudnay Night Local Team Defeated Vandals and Brooklyn Collegians in Preparation For a Crack At the World Famed Celtics. Holiday Games Between Amateurs Did Not Draw as in the Past Good Sized Crowd Out To See Machine Stop Winning Streak of Morehouse, But Very Few Turned Out To See Alpha Win. The chance of a lifetime is here if Clarence (Fat) Jenkins to garner enough glory in one game to last him for the next two seasons if the good Dame Fortune should smile upon his leadership of the Commonwealth basketball team and bring him victory at the Commonwealth Casino next Sunday night, when the local players face the Original Celtics, the hardest and fastest bunch of professional basketball players in the world today. Their many victories over white coats since they, started have given their followers in the community reason to feel that the Commonwealths are going good enough today to have a look-in with such world-beaters as the Celtics and, although the price will be 81 straight admission, with a warax of 10 cents, followers of basket-nettering are numbered by witness the contest and the admission fee without a murmur is they are fully aware that in bringing the Celtics to Harlem the McMahons are taking on a much greater expense in so doing. In preparation of this big clash between teams on the floor, the Commonwealths on last Thursday morning took the Vandals, of Atlantic City, and gave them a less in basketball as played in the open and under the best circumstances. Far, far away from their game, the supporters, who live in the past in the seashore, their victories at the seashore, theundals looked like a bunch ofmates just starting out, when the Commonwealths started their heavy batteries against them. Realizing the hopelessness of their situation, the Vandals every move showed that they felt the urge of being shown up by the same team from which they won a victory in Atlantic City which was questionable. At the conclusion of With a professional game going on in Harlem and one which seemed to have taken the bulk of the crowd sway, both the St. Christopher Club, of St. Philip's Parish, and the Alpha Physical Culture Club went through with their big games, although Alpha suffered terrily from lack of patronage. At New Star Casino, while it is true it was not the bumper holiday house that usually greets St. Christopher at her holiday games, quite a number turned out and cheered St. Christopher to a 26-22 victory over Morehouse College, Athnua, Ga., in a game that carried all the thrills with which we usually associate St. Christopher. Coming from the rear with a rush, with Garcin, and the other boys setting a hard and heart-breaking pace in the last few minutes, the machine worked successfully and managed to maneuver Morehouse into a position for a knockout, which was administered the northern many follower of the northern many followers had made the trip downtown in the hope of Morehouse coming through victorious. The first half of the contest found the visitors leading by a 15-13 score and they felt certain of ultimate victory. They reckoned not with the recuperative powers of that bunch of Parish House. players who have been taught to fight hardest when things seem to be against them, and it was rather dishheartening to say our local boys rushed Morehouse and forced Goodhill way to sing the blues when they eventually coped another victory which should bring them together with Alpha for the final tilt of the season. While this was going on down below, the boys of the Alpha Physical Culture Club were wresting victory from Dr. Smythe's Titans. The Orangemen did not figure with the New Yorkers and, at the conclusion of the contest, Alpha retired, with the safe score of 25, while the New Jersey players trailed with 25. These players from the Mosquito State arrived in town hoping to break the jinx which has followed teams from their homeland for nigh on to 15 years. It is not within the memory of man when last a New Jersey team won from any of our boys at a big game in this city, and last Thursday night the Titans failed to show anything that would lead us to believe that even in the slump of basketball among the amateurs, they need not. In Jersey, entertain the contest they trailed with a score of 18 while the Commonwealth retired with 37. Sadder but wiser players they left the Commonwealth Casino and we hope we do not hear many more stories of the hard time visiting teams go through when playing these same Vandals at the seashore. On Sunday night the Brooklyn Collegians came over and gave the Commonwealth a workout for the coming game on Sunday night. From the start of the game until the final whistle blew these white Brooklynites had not a chance with the shameless which could have been turned into a massacre had the Commonwealth not used them to try out a few tricks. As it turned out the Brooklynites only managed to make the small score of 14 while the local players were amassing the amazing score of 59. The clash with the Celtics will put the Commonwealth in good trim for a game with the Loenald team of Pittsburgh if Posey ever decides to face the New York players. The McMahons, after doing everything possible within their power to arrange a game with "Cum" Posey, are today feeling dubious over the whole matter as Posey, again running true to form, did not do them the courtesy of instantly replying to a wire which was sent at his request after a letter in which he accepted terms for a game. At no time prompt in replying to communications, Posey has taken an even longer period in which to decide if he should come to New York and play. No doubt he is wondering why the McMahons met every condition demanded and seem anxious to send the Commonwealth against Loenald. They are mute in Pittsburgh but we hope that the game will go through in spite of the many unpleasant features in dealings with Posey. any hope of victory from us this season. The smallest gathering of the season turned out to witness the contest. When we arrived at Manhattan, hoping to see at least the tail-end of the game, we found that the Titans had already departed and not a soul, at 12.30, remained on this holiday night to dance to the strains, of the orchestra which Alpha had hired to do the honors. Something radical must be done to bring back the blue and white, for, when on a holiday night, which in the past meant that from two to three thousand attended and cheered, but a scant few, which did not even number a baker's dozen, turned out, something is wrong and must be rectified, and that in a hurry. Siki and Carpentier To Box For Charity PARIS, Feb. 27 (Crusader Service).—An agreement is reported reached between the managers of Battling Siki and Georges Carpenter, by which the fighters will sign shortly for a match involving the light-heavyweight championship of the world, the title which Siki won from Carpentier at their last meeting. The bout will take place in the Buffalo Velodrome, here on Sept. 9, at 3 p. m., and will be 20 rounds of three minutes each, with four ounce gloves. The fighters, it is said, will receive either 5 per cent of the gate receipts 20,000 francs, in addition to their training expenses, the remainder of the receipts being donated to French charities. BIG CARD AT 15TH TUESDAY. Although we were unable to secure the names of the fighters billed to appear at the 15th Infantry in time for the current issue of this paper, we learn that Matchmaker Wright has again secured something out of the ordinary for patrons of the 15th Infantry hours next Tuesday night. As is well known in the vicinity, Manager Wright has succeeded in bringing together some of the best fighters and we feel certain will keep to the standard which he from the first day he was placed in charge at the popular local club. He has been putting in a great deal of time trying to arrange a certain match which would "set 'em by the ease" and no doubt this is the very match that will top the card at the army next Tuesday night. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WED.. FEBRUARY 28. 1923 The Sportive Spotlight Unless Brother Huiswould can successfully refute the charges hurled at him in today's paper by Brother Bell, we fear "Dutch's" claim to the high principles of sportsmanship will evaporate into thin air. The McMahon Brothers will repair with a heavy committee of leading citizens before. Mayor Hylan to ask that a legal holiday be declared if the Commonwealth Five defeat the Original-Celtics. We are certain of one thing if our boys should win from these crack white players, and that is that no power on this earth will induce "Gum" Posey and his Loendi players to come here in the event of a win by the Commonwealth over Celtics. S. Saxon, manager of Kid Rhodes, is making a strong claim that he has as much right to claim the colored bantam title of the world for his boy as George Moore has for Danny Edwards. Saxon says that Edwards hasn't met any colored boy worth and would like Danny to meet Rhodes for the title. If Rhodes is the fighter Saxon says he is, I see no reason why these boys should not give us colored folks a chance to see who is who at some date in the near future. Jack McVey succeeded in again getting the judges' verdict over Sandy Taylor at the 15th Infantry Armory in their fight last week. McVey is making such a fine showing these days against all comers we fear that Sandy would have a hard job trying to impress any set of judges with his superiority over the fast hitting youngster. From the way the big daily papers play up baseball and tell us of what a great national sport it is, you would imagine that Young America would play the game like the youngsters of England play cricket. Take away the financial inducement and there's nothing to it. Among our colored youth there isn't a baseball team functioning just for the fun of the thing and the love of the game. They wouldn't last a month under such circumstances. And basketball is going the same way. Soon we will not see games among the amateurs in the open. Years ago when the Lincoln Giants played at Olympic Field every Sunday thousands journeyed to see the semipro team in action against the white players. In basketball the same thing is happening every Sunday night at Commonwealth Casino. The crowd will go to see the professional games because the men are well up in the game and there's no thought of any crowd cheering for "the games' sake." They are with the proficient players and this thing of trying to tell us about a National Game and having us believe that it comes from a true love of the sport is all bosh. You might as well tell us that the crowds attending the races go to see the horses run for the mere enjoyment of the thing. Unless you have enough dough to try your luck on the ponies the "sport of kings" is something entirely out of your mind. The time and effort put into doping the horses by many of our youngsters if applied in a more wholesome manner would bring them name and fame in the true pursuit of life. Even so-called amateur sport cannot stand the searchlight. We had a simon-pure who has been a star in his time on the cinder path to ease us the information that the money he received for amateur running would knock the innocents pop-eyed did they know about this phase of the matter. Why continue to sail under false colors? We should be big enough to recognize things for what they are and stop this constant camouflage. Public School 89, New York City, Feb. 26th, 1923. Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, Sporting Editor The New York Amsterdam News, Dear Sir. I am featuring Harlem's wonder team, the Buffalo Jrs. with a record of eighty-six.victories and four games lost in your years against the well known Alpha "Moguls" with the best line-up Alpha can produce on her lightweight team this Friday night at St. Mark's Hall. The Blue Belt Girls will play against the Brooklyn Young Women's Christian Association in the preliminary game. I invite you as official judge of the evening to decide and pass on all matters necessary. Belleving that you want to be fair at all times to all parties, I am writing to ask you to correct a statement made in your sport spotlight under date of February 31st, in regards to principles and ringers. Miss Blanche Winston, the young lady to whom the article referred, was not a ringer, but a legitimate member of the N. Y. Deers. Anybody who wants the proof can call at the above address and see me. The real reason for the Blue Belts refusing to play against Miss Winston was because they just wanted to be nasty. On January 5th the Blue Belts objected to Miss Winston. I told Hulswould then that Miss Winston had met all the necessary requirements to membership on the team and I would not play without her, as no outsider had any right to say who should or should not play on the Deers. A fine manager I would be to allow the opposing team to name my line-up. With this in mind the Blue Belts just vowed to get even, hence their action of February 5th, the latter game being staged by the Deers. Now just to show that that bunch knows nothing about the principles of clean sportsmanship, I want to ask Hulswould the following questions: Why did the Blue Belts take Alice Thormen, a white girl, a regular member of the Manhattan Leassles, to Newark last season to play against a team of race girls? Was Miss Thormen a regular on the Blue Belts or was she a ringer? Why if the Blue Belts stand for the principles of pure sportsmanship, did Huiwu would come over, to St. Mark's Hall and offer Vivian Harris, Estelle Richardson and Sarah Pollard, three of my best players, $5.00 each to appear at the Commonwealth on an all-star team to take the place of a phone team he had advertised, though he had two games scheduled with the Deers at that time? Why in the interest of pure sport, did Huiwu allow (without protest) Mae Kahl, regular center and captain of the Manhattan Lassies to play with the Roosevelt Center Girls on February 12th at St. Mark's Hall against the Blue Belts. Was it because she was white or because the Blue Belts were staging the game? Dutch know Mae Kahl as well as I do. No, friend Dougherty, you can't defend that gang under the principles of true sportsmanship, any more than you could stop herds of swine from trampling pearls under their feet. You know exactly how I have always stood on these matters as my views have appeared repeatedly in the columns of the Pittsburgh Courier. Hoping that you will make this correction, I am New York Amsterdam News, New York. My dear Mr. Dougherty: Believing that you want to be fair at writing to ask you to correct a statement under date of February 21st, in regards to Miss Blanche Winston, the young lady was not a ringer, but a legitimate member who wants the proof can call at the above. The real reason for the Blue Belts is Winston was because they just wanted to the Blue Belts objected to Miss Winston. Miss Winston had met all the necessary on the team and I would not play, without right to say who should or should not play ager I would be to allow the opposing team. With this in mind the Blue Belts just their action of February 9th, the latter game. Now just to show that that bunch kniples of sportmanship, I want to questions: Why did the Blue Belts take a regular member of the Manhattan Lassies play against a team of race girls? Was Mi Blue Belts or was she a ringer? Why If the Blue Belts stand for the ship, did Huiwould come over, to St. M Harris, Estelle Richardson and Sarah Pollis $5.00 each to appear at the Commonwealth the place of a phone team he had advertised with the Deers at that time? sport, did Huiwould allow (without protec and captain of the Manhattan Lassies to play Girls on February 12th at St. Mark's Hall it because she was white or because the game? Dutch knows Mae Kahl as well as No, friend Dougherty, you can't defer clips of true sportsmanship, any more swine from trampling pearls under their You know exactly how I have always my views have appeared repeatedly in the Courier.

After a long absence from the court and coming at a time when everybody had figured that "Smilin' Bob" Douglas had withdrawn his Spartan team from further activity on the court this season, the news will be received with acclaim that the Spartans will once more tackle the Chicago Defender team in a big game that will bring out all the fans to see if it was a fluke victory scored over the Green and Gold men by the Defenders some time ago at Manhattan Casino. We understand that the team playing under the colors of the Defenders will come forth as a juvenated bunch, with a few additions to the line-up of some well-known basketball players, whose presence will do much to make Spartan' extend herself to wipe out the defeat sustained when last they met. The game will take place right here in Harlem at the Renaissance Casino on Tuesday evening. March 6th, and the Defender lineup will be held in the Louisville Laurie Henderson Huggins Zan Anderson, Grenier Turner, Huckey Rhone, Hoble Johnson, Tucker Waddell and Harold Jenkins. The "Braves" will be facing a bunch of experienced court men and we fear the going is going to be pretty hard for the men under Douglas. John C. Smith has been secured to furnish the music and, as we stated some months ago, Smithy is the boy who seems to know the kinn of chunes the young men and young women, aye, even the older ones, like most, and he will be at his heat. The charge, fifty-five cents, is nominal, and within the reach of all, hence it would be well worth while to make the trip to the New Harlem Casino for a pleasant evening—one that will also offer some thrills when the youngsters take the court. Orientals Beat Chicago Defender "Five" 23-14 The Chicago Defender N. Y. Big "5" failed in their effort to halt the winning streak of the Oriental "Speed Merchants" of New Rochelle, last Saturday night, when they went down to defeat at the hands of the Huguenot City boys in a 23-14 score. The Defender team, with a line-up consisting of Waddell, former Alpha Big "5" star; Cliff Perry, Hobey Johnson. Hackey lhone. Henderson Huggins and Zan Anderson, were conceded a chance to beat the Oriental, and in the first half lived up to all predictions, but the spurt of the home team in the second half, which gradually separated the scores of both teams, shattered the chances of the New Yorkers. Splendid defense of both teams in the first half kept the score down to 5-3 in the Oriental's favor. So far this season, the Orientalists have only met with two reverses, one being at the hands of the Commonwealth Big Five in a 25-17 game, and the other by the Professional Collegians in a 26-25 tussle, out of twenty games played. They hope to wipe out the Commonwealth defeat when the Commonwealth come to New Rochelle on Saturday, March 10th, which will be followed by the Xenia American Legion team of Ohio, who recently beat Leo Lendl of Pittsburgh, on March 17. The summary of the Defender-Oriental game: Field goals—Orientals, Gaynor (3), Garcia (3), Jones (2), Monto (2), James (1); Defenders, Perry (3), Waddell (1). Johnson (1). Foul goals—Perry (2), Johnson (2), Jones (1), Monte (2). Next Saturday the Lincoln Colored Stars, who played the Original Celtics at Madison Square Garden last season, will be the opponents of the Oriental. TUXEDO ARROWS NOSE OUT COLUMBIA CUBS.

Academy Girls in Victory After Many Trials and Tribulations They Come From the Rear and Defeat the Deers A sensation has surely happened in the girls' basketball world: The New York Academy has defaced in fine sportsmanship, cleanly and definitely, the New York Deers. After many trials and tribulations; after being discouraged to the point of disruption, the New York Academy Girls, with grit and determination, stuck to it through a long season of defeats and, at last, with great determination, came back in fine fettle and form under the leadership of their coach, Harry Cisco, and defeated the fast New York Deers basketball team in St. Marks' Hall, Friday evening, February 16. The whole house came down in thunderous applause and Mr. Justice and all the girls were recipients of high praise and congratulation for their splendid work and determination. The Deers worked hard and fast to bring down the lead of the Academy score in the first half, which was for 15 minutes 9-0, but the Academy girls were too determined, too swift and deathly sure of their goal shooting, for the Deers to overcome their lead. To celebrate their victory, the Academy girls will hold a reception and invite as their guests their defeated companions, the New York Deers, Thursday evening, March 1. The Academy Girls also defeated the St. Marks' lassles Saturday evening, February 10, by a score of 19-7. March 16 they ply the Salem Crescents and at the same time the Oriental A. C. girls, of New Rochelle, and the Mysterious Five, of Jersey City, have been asked to play. Flashes Win Double Bill On Washington's Birthday night the St. Mark's Flashes played two games. The first game was played against the Anthonfans in the Bronx, the second encounter was played immediately after the first at the hall with the Neptunes. Against the boys from St. Anthony the Flashes scored at will. The clever passing and fine shots were generously applauded. The score ending the game was 44 to 20. Rushing back by taxi in their basketball togs, Father Runkett's boys were warmly received by the large crowd. From the first whistle the ultimate victor was never questioned. It became a matter of high score. Three beautiful long shots by Harrigan and one by Saltch, and the way the ball was worked up and down the court, kept the game from lacking interest. Nethrop scored seven field goals and Yates five. The final score was 44 to 23. On Thursday, March 1st, the Foxdales, champions of the Bronx, will play the St. Mark's team at St. Mark's Hall. "How Come" Going Big New Vehicle by Eddie Hunter Playing Return Date at Gibson's Dunbar Theatre Ever since leaving New York the new musical comedy show by Eddie Hunter, called "How Come," has been meeting with great success. Reports coming in from those in a position to know, says that this offering is one of the best of the present day, and is guaranteed to make good wherever shown. The Philadelphia Tribune of last week has this to say of the show: "By popular demand, 'How Come?' the musical comedy success, which so substantially established itself at this house three weeks ago by its previous run of two weeks, has returned and the company of sixty players are disporting themselves during the week to try and amuse the different fraternal orders located in our city, each one having picked out a night for their enjoyment, when they and their friends will pack the house. This treat has cost Manager Gibson $5,000, and really has established box-office figures; and is proof of the fact that Manager Gibson realizes the value of 'How Come' as a money-making attraction which will clear, as he expects, over $6,000 on the deal, or over one hundred per cent profit on the investment. It is the same old show, yet different from what you saw: the same galaxy of shining stars, yet funnier; you laugh all of the time."

Although booked to appear at the Lafayette Theatre, as we understand from the owners of this house, and which we had everyason to believe, as we carried a display advertisement telling of the show, the "Plantation Days" company, headed by Harper and lanks, failed to go through with which we were told was a contracttelling for their appearance at the Lafayette Theatre for the week ofebruary.

Bring 'Em All On MAUDE RUSSELL, DANCER IN "LIZA," CHALLENGES THE WHOLE WORLD. Bring on your george Whites Local newspapers, after the appearance of the Amsterdam News at the streets of this city, carried accounts of the planned sailing of Plantation Days" for London on Saturday morning. Within twenty our hours of the time stipulated or them to sail, sensation, after sensation was sprung under cover and things came to a climax with to arrival here or Sheridan A museaux of the Keystone National effective Agency of Chicago. Detective Brusaux came to New York after a hurried conference in Washington with the authorities, including Harryood, Federal Judge of the catherdron District of New York (for the "Shuffle Along" company) then playing in Chicago, and apped an injunction on the Plantation Days" which prevented the sailing of the company, we understand. It would seem that this company has been using many of the mature numbers of the "Shuffle Long" company, the latter claiming that "Plantation Days" with out the numbers created by those apposite for the Old Street Mule Hall success, which has found it road pretty hard going on account of their rew, would not be much, as they alluge, made by the same company, "I'm Crawling for That Kind of Love" and "Bandana Dresses" number hearing copyrighting from the time "Shuffle Long" started out . Detective Bruceaux also sent a fire to Scotland Yard, London, the best Government detective bugean known the world over, to retrain any individual or company sing the copyrighted songs of the Shuffle Along" company in Europe. In using the Keystone National Detective Agency, the only one of color in the world, the Shuffle Along" company showed no same confidence displayed by one of the leading firms in the Vest who at all times use the peratives of this well-known agency that seem to ferret out evidence and other matters when all their concerns fail. Detective Brussels, who is at the head of the agency, is well known throughout the country and usually popular in Chicago. In an interview with the writer he has rather close-mouthed and only get enough to give New York in idea of the size of the case and the quick work done by his agency when he came to New York and successfully prevented the "Planation Days" from sailing on the late specified. If the company remains in our most long enough, he Coleman brothers should insist that they go through with the contract, verbal or otherwise, to appear at the Lafayette Theatre, however, if they do appear at the farlem house it will be without he numbers now in dispute and which we understand, did much o make the show popular in Chicago and other places before the arrival of the original producers and singers of the same numbers. Working in conjunction with the Keystone National Detective Agency in the case on this end was the Bouldin's National Detective Agency, of which H. S. Bouldin is the head. This local agency has been doing great work in New York, and when notified by wire to set on the case, no time was lost in giving the aid necessary to the Chicago agency in bringing the matter to a head and serving the injunction on the "Platation laws" company. We understand that the colored people in the show had no choice, is they are under contract to white men behind the company, Leonard Harper, who is well known and well liked in theatrical circles, appeared at the office of the Coleman Brothers at the Laurette Theatre on Sunday night, after stating the company's side of the matter, the Coleman Brothers decided that they would not put anything in the way of the colored performers, as any step taken by them at this time would hold up these hard-working people. Harper, we also learned at the last minute, wired the "Shuffle Along" company that "Plantation Days" will not use any of the numbers mentioned, hence we would not be surprised to see the injunction lifted and the company permitted to sail for London. In taking these drastic steps for their own protection the "Shuffle Along" company are fully within their rights, as it has come to us from Chicago this latter company plans to sail for Europe on May 30th, to be come quite a while, going to Vaudeville and Motion Pictures Acting Stone Detective ops Sailing of Show To Leave For London on Stopped By Bruseaux huffle Along.

Bring 'Em All On MAUDE RUSSELL, DANCER IN "LIZA," CHALLENGES THE WHOLE WORLD. Bring on your, George Whites and your Male Fords and Myrtle Ann Penningtons and all the other Broadway dancers. Maude Russell, who is cavorting around with "Liza," the seventy-person musical comedy, now playing at Daly's Old Street Theatre, where she has the distinction of being the principal female dancer of the aggregation of fast steppers, has gone on the warppath, and just to yet the world know that when it comes to "hoofing," why, in the words of Octavis Roy Cohn, "that's all she doesn't do anything but." Persons in the vicinity of Daly's 63d Street Playhouse the other evening thought it might be necessary to send in a riot call, judging by the noise which emanated from within the theatre. An investigation showed that Miss Rusell had just naturally grown tired of hearing how some of the Broadway dancers were brugging about their foot work, and she up and let loose. "Bring them on," she crieled. "I'll dance them for fun, money or marbles. They can show me anything about dancing. And when it comes to back and wing and soft shoe stuff, well, there won't be anything to it." The "Liza" management, naturally, is backing Miss Russell, and wants the wide world to know that if any dancer now on Broadway, or who has ever appeared in any musical comedy or vaudelle, for that matter, thinks they would like to engage in a contest with their prize stepper, let them speak out, or forever hold their nose. Maude Russell has been on the stage three years, having made her debut in Chicago in "The Man from Bam." She was a prominent member of the original "Shuffle Along" company and jumped into the "Liza" cast when that popular play was produced last fall. Aside from her dancing—and critics are not backward in declaring she is the greatest dancer of all time, in her line—Miss Russell has an ambition to practice law. She spends most of her leisure time reading Shakespeare and law books. Charming Evelyn Scores Here in a New Drama at the Lafayette, Supported by Barry Carter, Eddie Brown and Others Charming Evelyn Ellis is here again at the Lafayette Theatre, after a few weeks' absence, sharing a "The Twist," by Vincent Lawrence, and it is a pleasure to note that she is still doing the splendid work which in the past won her so many admirers among lovers of the dramatic art. While this play might not carry such an appeal as the previous vehicle in which she appeared at the same theatre a few weeks ago, still we find that there is enough in it to warrant, in saying that Harlan will find much enjoy in the play and acting of the people in this offering. Miss Ellis is rounded by a cast which includes Muncle Johnson, Edward Brown, Addison Caros, and Dan Edwards. If this form of entertainment at the Lafayette is worked up as in the days when Robert Levy held sway, we see no reason why the Colonel Brothers could not induce the same clientele that packed the Lafayette to return and enjoy the same high-class plays, musical comedy being sandwiched in when obtainable. STILL GOING BIG. Brown and De Mont continue to make good and are kept busy all the time. Word from Bangor, Me, states that they cleaned up at the Biljon, then went to the Music Hall, Lewiston, and repeated. This week they are at Quincy, Mass., and Pawtucket, R. I.

February 16th, 1923. Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, Esq. The New York Amsterdam News, New York City. Dear Sir: I have just received this week's issue of the Pittsburgh Courler and read your interesting column. I want to protest against your statement regarding the Age, which you term a "Sundown" paper, and in which you say that paper has more than twice as much circulation as any other local paper. This statement has been made by you on several occasions, and I think you know it is without foundation. You can boost your paper to the theatres and your advertisers and friends without making odious comparisons. I am sure that the Amsterdam News can not prove a circulation of more than twenty thousand copies weekly. You can come over here and see us print at least 15,000 each Wednesday night. You must know that your friend Garvey's Negro World prints at least 10,000 copies weekly, so why not be fair? I hope you will be more careful about this matter in the future, and will you also ask Ira Lewis not to use any more articles from the Age, as he did the article about Parker being chosen as trainer for the Glants, without giving this paper proper credit. With best wishes for your continued success on the Amsterdam News. I am. New York, N. Y., February 17th, 1923. February 16th and am sorry to have to make in the opening sentence of your course are in receipt of the Pittsburgh County interesting column. Pardon me saying interesting column and ingested the content should have been prompted to write. Because I can remember in Sir Arthur Colborne instance where Holmes calls the attention at some people while seeing a thing, and good in your case. Let us now go over our interview in my column—the statement we protest: I shall sundown sheets tells us, drew a shirt to advertise. Why, St. Christopher adds more copies than all the others combi Christopher did not expect to draw on January long before the doors were thrown open coiled by my good friend Ira Lewis in sporting parlance. I am going to use term "sun-up" would be more appropriate that St. Christopher advertised in more than all the other local sheets combi mess things up. The statement did never again. It said more than all the other generally give us credit for printing you unconsciously admit the truth of what the others print and make thousand. Do you get me?

Me assure you that hand across Seventh avenue and blind to you the same good wishes for contin The New York Age, New York City. Dear Sir: I have your letter of February 16th and am sorry to have to call your attention to an error made in the opening sentence of your communication. You state that you are in receipt of the Pittsburgh Courier of the current week and read my interesting column. Pardon me saying it but had you read my "interesting column" and digested the contents I doubt seriously if you would have been prompted to write me "protesting." I readily forgive you because I can remember in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Sign of the Four" an instance where Holmes calls the attention of Dr. Watson to the fact that some people while seeing a thing, also fails to observe. This holds good in your case. Let us now go over the statement in the Pittsburgh Courier in my column—the statement which prompted you to register a protest: "St. Christopher, the local sunday sheets tells us, drew a small crowd because they failed to advertise. Why, St. Christopher advertised in the paper that prints more copies than all the others combined in New York but even St. Christopher did not expect to draw on January 26th and had it all figured out long before the doors were thrown open." The word "sundown" was coloned by my good friend Ira Lewis and it so aptly applies to us all, in sporting parlance. I am going to use it until you can prove that the term "sum-up" would be more appropriate. Further, I stick to the statement that St. Christopher advertised in the paper that prints more copies than all the other local sheets combined. For the love of Mike don't mess things up. The statement did not say twice as much. Look it over again. It said more than all the others combined and when you generously give us credit for printing five thousand more than you do you unconsciously admit the truth of my statement as you are not aware of what the others print and maybe they are well within the five thousand. Do you get me? I take your word for it that you print fifteen thousand but I too can invite you over most any Tuesday night 'round about 11 o'clock to see the Amsterdam News special delivery car and a big truck shooting all over Harlem supply copies of this paper, to the stands WHERE WE SELL FROM FIVE TO TEN TIMES AS MANY AS YOUR PAPER. The comparison is odious to you because you are no doubt hft in the same place where Danny Edwards received the blow from Harry Gordon. You have grabbed the cap and pulled it down over your ears in this matter, for I did not single out the Age as you will see by reading my "interesting column" again; note the word SHEETS. As for Garvey's Negro World, well, I would not consider it if they printed a million as in My line this paper is the same as if it never existed. As for Garvey being my friend I want to advise you that he is no more friend of mine than he is of the New York Age which printed his Dally Times for more than a month (pardon me, I mean the Age made the matrixes for Garvey), both the Age and your humble servant, at the time, being employed by Garvey to do certain work. If because I edited his Times for a time makes me a friend then he must be a boon companion of the New York Age. When payday came we both stalked the African Provisional President in search of our coin of the realm. Instead of you asking me to be more careful in the future I am the one that should ask you to read more carefully so that you will find it unnecessary to make snap judgments and stamp around where even angels fear to tread. You ought to feel gratified that a paper like the Courier thought enough of your article to reproduce it. Do you ever note how some of the Western papers take my entire sport page and reproduce without even a hint from whence it came? The Chicago Whip some time ago took articles which I labored over and reproduced them without as much as stating they came from New York. Now, Clarkie, I almost got mad and I want you to forgive me. You see, that little hint about Garvey made me think for a moment that it was a slight dig at trying to make the world believe that because Marcus and I first saw the light of day in a tropic isle you thought the same. We are just as different as a Frenchman and a German. We are only one in color and there it ends. Some day you are going to give a little time to your geography and then your contributing editor will help you over the hard passages and show you where it is a fact that certain blacks are as different as the peoples of the European nations. If you want to test a buzz saw drop Lewis a line yourself instead of asking me to retail messages for you. He can certainly fling a mean pen in his own defense. Any statement made by me in any paper with which I am connected I can support because I see that the care is there before they are printed and not after. By the way, my boy, let me also inform you that when you have occasion to use the term Esquire behind a name you never use Mister before the name. Gee whiz, dear boy, you have jumped on something which the older heads with your paper would not touch and it is dollars to doughnuts they will not be pleased to learn that 4, of all persons, should be the means of drawing you into an argument of which any fair person will render a verdict stating you got the worst of it. You me assure you that in spite of it all I stretch my hand across Seventh avenue and bid you be of good cheer, extending to you the same good wishes for continued success as sporting editor of the Age. week in Pittsburgh to go over the follow- is the reply of the McMahon Brothers Burt Posey has called in his general ball and a few others to carefully go "Read it and weep":— February 12th, 1923. Pittsburgh, Pa. February 9th and in reply beg to inform "fourteen points" as enumerated can It has taken them a full week in Pittsburgh to go over the following letter appended below. This is the reply of the McMahon Brothers to Cumberland Posey. No doubt Posey has called Jn his general staff, including Ira Lewis, Lewis Diall and a few others to carefully go over the letter before replying. "Read it and weep"— We have your letter of February 8th and in reply beg to inform you that while some of your "fourteen points" as enumerated can be Leroy Wilken$, Mgr. Mr. William E. Clarke. * Yours very truly. WM. E. CLARKE. Yours very truly, ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY. GOOD MUSIC EXCELLENT DANCE FLOOR BEST FOOD SERVICE accepted, others are impossible. In the first place, we are bound to assume that you are fully aware of the fact that we have contracts for February 22nd and March 4th. Is it not strange that you have picked out the dates on which we play Vandals and Celtics? These dates were announced broadcast in the colored papers that you read. To play you on February 21st or March 4th would necessitate the breaking of contracts. Would you have you do this? Any date after these would suit us. Your fifth point is suggestive of the ridiculous in that you would have us go to men who have stopped functioning in basketball so long they are practically forgotten. However, to again bow to your demand, we suggest the name of Thorpe for referee and if you fail to agree to this you can pick your own referee here in New York. Instead of confining yourself to the issues you constantly refer to those newspapermen here who are doing their work in their own way and apparently doing well at it. We are not concerned about them as we are running the Commonwealth Club and not the newspapermen. The charge that we tried to cripple the Leoni Club by booking dates with Pittsburgh teams is frivolous, as you should be aware that we are at liberty to seek games with any team in the country. For men who have been promoting all kinds of athletic games for the past twenty-five years we think you assume too much when you try to imply that we do not know enough of basketball to be guided in our business dealings. So far as carrying "our dealings" to the newspapers are concerned you are again wandering as we have had no dealings up to this time. If we had we would not now be attempting to arrange a game. Your stipulation that intercollegiate rules be used in a game between two professional teams raises the doubt in our mind, in spite of your protestations, of your intention to play us as professional rules should be used between professional teams. In spite of all this unnecessary dickering we accept your terms and will play you on any date after March 4th. If you are as anxious to prove your claim to the championship as you would have us believe, be fair in the matter by playing us professional rules. Go right ahead and name your referee, date, etc., and you will find us ready. More than this we cannot say.

Railroad Wreck in Photoplay Uses Real Western Bridge There's a big railroad wreck in "One Week of Love," the Selznick super-special co-starring Elaine Hammerstein and Conway Tearle, which will be shown the latter part of this week at the Lincoln Theatre commencing Thursday. This is one of the two big action climaxes in the production—and the lesser of the two since the other shows Miss Hammerstein in an airplane tail-splitting and nose-diving its intimation across earth. But the reason that a lot more interest than is common to photoplay spectacles of this particular class, and the reason for this special interest is the identical reason which is being given for the extraordinary success which "One Week of Love" has been achieving throughout the country ever since its release.

Under the circumstances, having elected a change, it was only natural that the Selznick company should have chosen as their first story a sequence of events which could be photographed in as big a way as possible. It was equally natural that the "bigness" of outdoors, as opposed to the tight restrictions of a drawing room, should be chosen as the background for the action. And, looking for the biggest "bigness" of outdoors what was more natural than that the picture should be made amidst the lofty mountains of Southern California and Northern Mexico where rivers run deep, JOHN FINSTER Importer and Maker of FINE VIOLINS Expert Repairing on all string instru- ment.

Dr. John Hope Delivers Stirring Address at Metropolitan Church The Morehouse Association of New York City opened its educational and financial campaign Sunday at Metropolitan Baptist Church with a large audience composed of interested persons representing business, the profession and practically all walks of life. James H. Hubert, President of the Morehouse Association, presided, and in presenting Dr. Hope, referred to his large contribution to race leadership in the influence exerted by Morehouse College in sending out teachers, ministers, physicians, social workers and business men to the various parts of the country. In his address Dr. Hope paid tribute to the Home Mission Colleges, claiming that they are an illustration of faith justifying itself, representing the fulfillment of a large faith which northern Christians had in the Negro when he was just out of slavery poor ignorant and defenseless. James B. Adams pastor of Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn, who himself is a graduate of Morehouse College, and Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Extension Secretary of the National Urban League who has given many years to educational work. He paid a tribute to the Home Mission School, stating that wherever he goes in all parts of the country he finds that 70 per cent of positions of leadership are filled by men coming from the southern colleges and Mission Schools. Musical numbers were rendered by Miss Andrade Lindsay and Mr. Henry A. Ethridge. Morehouse College is in a campaign to raise sufficient funds to He referred especially to the large influence that the Mission Schools have had in all parts of the country through the far seeing educated christian leaders that they have trained. "Northern white and colored people," said he, "must not lose sight of the millions of colored people in the south and the peculiar problems facing them. The only final guarantee to freedom for all people in this country is the fair adjustment of the problem in the south. The American Race problem cannot be settled in spots. Until Negroes south are guaranteed their life, liberty and opportunity for full development of citizenship the safety of American citizens cannot be assured. We must not be mislead by the great economic opportunity now being offered Negroes in the north. The Negro problem still remains a great racial moral problem which must be abandoned by no section of the country and left to no one section for solution". He showed clearly the responsibility of the Negro in the North to he Negro in the South stating that for years to come the great bulk of Negroes will be South of he Mason Dixon Line.

D., who made the opening address. Dr. Garnett C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of the District Schools, followed Dr. Durkee, speaking on "moral instruction." He pointed out the steps taken in the public schools of the District of Columbia to give children attending the schools fairly defined ideas as to those moral essentials fundamental to character building. Dr. Milton Fairchild, chairman of the character education institution elaborated on the theme of character education and religious education, emphasizing the necessity of training the child in spiritual life as well as instilling materialistic book learning into their minds.

BY WALTER L. SMAULDING. Hon. Seldon P. SENATOR, United States Senator from Missouri, spoke to a large crowd of colored people at the Y. M. C. A. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Century Club, a society recently organized, which has for its program the uplift of the colored people. The Senator's subject was "Patience in Injustice." Mr. Spencer said that he was aware of the injustices that were being practiced but patience would work its own reward. Senator Spencer felicitated the colored people on account of the wonderful progress that they had made and exhibited a remarkable familiarity with this progress. Senator Spencer's speech was one of the most inspiring and helpful speeches that has been given under the auspices of this club. Washington was delightful in hearing this gentleman from "Old Missouri." Detective Paul Jones, colored, of the Washington police force, was this week presented to the rank of full detective sergeant. Detective Sergeant Jones has been connected with the police department for a number of years, but has been assigned to the detective bureau only two years. He has "run down" many important cases.

AGITATORS problem in Virgin Island Is Economical, Says Amsterdam Writer (Special Correspondence to New York Amsterdam News) ST. CROIX, VIRGIN ISLANDS, U. S. A. So much is being said in the local papers on the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas, and also a few papers in the United States anent the conditions here. I think it timely to get busy and make some observations not only for the benefit of the colored Americans interested in these islands which were purchased from Denmark not very long ago by the United States Government, but for the benefit of the many Virgin Islanders now resident in the United States. Hardly anything is known to colored Americans of the real happenings of the place and its people. It is therefore natural that many will be sensitive to the complaints concerning race affairs and disadvantages here. Certain agitators now this and apparently they try to pull the wool over the eyes of their own people on the mainland. They make a living from it. The conditions so far as I could see it suffering here he seeking sympathy because a British subject who did so much agitating he was deported, has not men representing the natives relative to making changes here and ticians told their followers the case the body wrote back saying that would be taken to Washington and necessary they would themselves called in to tell Uncle Sam to raise make the appeal to Congress. Another barriers and allow Barrow to other British subject was deported return. They say here that this is by the American Government recently one of the best things done by the parte, erstwhile pugilist and editor, being a little too overzealous, the statements above made, it is timely to recall that the American island of Tortola, one of the smaller Civil Liberty Union wrote the Colonial Council, the legislative body Britain. Hardly anything is known to colored Americans of the real happenings of the place and its people. Is therefore natural that many will be sensitive to the complaints concerning race affairs and disadvantages here. Certain agitators now this and apparently they try to pull the wool over the eyes of their own people on the mainland. They make a living from it. The conditions so far as I could see it is this: St. Thomas is suffering because of her inability to keep up with the trend brought about by modern inventions and developments. The island flourished when sailing boats were the only means of carrying passengers and cargo, afterwards keeping up with the coaling of vessels. Today is the day of oil oil crutility and the radio. She has, therefore, nothing to offer the commercial world but an empty harbor. Then came prohibition which put a quietness to her for good and one sees the anamouulous condition of little islands owned by Great Britain hardly heard of before doing a land office business and fattening a commodity which meant ruck to the Virgin Islands although the people here are far from being given to much drinking even in those early days when Spanish gold flowed here like German marks on the Rhine. St. Thomas has not one industry to boast of save bayrum, hence the condition is an economic one and not a political one. The play of politics as you know it in the States is confined to J. Hamilton Jackson here in St. Croix and one Rothschild Francis in St. Thomas. The people are not apparently interested and some of the members of the better class have told me it means nothing to them. Some claim that the government is a civil one administered by naval officers on account of financial bankruptcy. The Americans bought the islands but everything is owned by the Danes. Not an inch of land that could be used for anything advantageous by any capitalists. The Danes took the chance when America was at war to protect themselves where the land and other things are concerned. The same thing holds good for St. Croix. The Navy Department covers a deficit yearly, I understand, of over $300,000, and that does not include the free doctors and governmental staff and the amount given the schools. The death rate today is much less than it has ever been in the history of the islands. The poorest person can have an operation and medical attention without any cost. The hospital in St. Thomas is up to date in every way and you can have your X-ray examination without any cost. The Red Cross furnished this place out with over $60,000, giving new beds, nurses and modern instruments free. The school children are cared for by nurses without any expense to their parents. Many people in America believe that the marines are on a frequent rampage committing it unsafe for the natives. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The officials are very approachable and never in the history if the islands were so many natives in government employ. I say without fear of successful contraction we here could never enjoy a better form or government. Those in a position to know say that Jackson is a born agitator and dicker. They even go no far as to assert that he is a natural opposer and is incurably conceived. His relevance they tell me, is a personal one and I am yet to see the governor with whom he has not been at loggerheads, whether Danish or American. A whisper going the rounds that Jackson entertained hopes of being the Virgin island's Resident Commissioner in Washington caused a shiver of apprehension and it is doubtful if such a thing will ever come to pass. The enemies of Jackson also assert that if the islands were run as he runs his labor unions, chos ON SALE EVERYWHERE Subscription Rate, $1.50 per Year HEALTH WEEK TO BE HELD FROM APRIL 1-7 In accordance with the request of the annual Tuskegee Negro Conference and in co-operation with the National Negro Business League and other influential organizations, the ninth annual National Negro Health Week will be observed from April 1st to 7th. Results of the last annual Health Week gave great impulse to this health movement which is planned to effect the co-operation of all welfare agencies and groups of people in the reduction of preventable sickness and deaths, and the increase of vitality and resistance to disease. Such results not only lessen the misery and cost of preventable sickness and death to the family, community and the government, but also increase the well-being, earning capacity and service of the healthy citizen to home, community and country. As was done last year, the United States Public Health Service has prepared the Health Week Bulletin, copies of which may be secured from Tuskegee Institute or from Dr. Roscoe C.

Brown Was Removed Normal English." Cleveland, O.. Feb. 27.—"The effort of Miss Hallie Q. Brown, former Wilberforce teacher, to retard the onward march of Wilberforce University, through the publication of unwarranted attacks, reminds one forcibly of the 'Fly' of Aesop fame, that, alighting upon the wheel of a moving charlot, exclaimed: "See the dust I am raising," declared Ormond A. Forte, secretary of the Combined Normal and Industrial Board of Trustees of Wilberforce University, last Friday afternoon. Continuing, Mr. Forte said: "Miss Brown was recently removed from the faculty of the Combined Normal and Industrial Department of Wilberforce because of incompetency. The action was taken by the Board of Trustees of the Department after the State Inspector of Normal Schools had reported to the Board that Miss Brown had not the slightest conception of the subjects she was assigned to teach. "And now the veteran teacher, graduated fifty years ago from Wilberforce, turns against her alma mater and seeks to see her disaffected. It would have been wise if the veteran teacher had not sought to prove herself a martyr to the cause of square-dealing, but, on the contrary, she has sought to make the public believe that she was let out because of influence Bishop Johanna H. Jones is supposed to have in the affairs of the school. Miss Brown might have done this with some degree of suc- cess, if she had been removed from the College or Academy faculty, but it was not so. "The whole painful truth is that Miss Brown tried to fill a position in the Normal Department for which she was entirely unfitted by training and experience. The man whom she now attempts to discredit was the individual who, by reason of his eloquent and impassioned plea to the Board of Trustees, secured the position for Miss Brown. But he was powerless to save her scalp when it became imperative—for the sake of scholastic standing of the Normal Department—to remove Miss Brown. "Previous to 1921, Miss Brown taught English in the Academy and, so far as can be learned, her work was satisfactory. But when the position of teacher of the history of education and normal English became vacant, with a larger salary, she sought the position, unmindful of her lack of qualifications. It is needless to enter into a discussion as to why Miss Brown was unfitted for the post. Let it suffice to say that since her graduation from the College Department of Wilberforce, fifty years ago, she has not taken any training preparatory to teaching in the Normal School and, consequently, could not be expected to understand 'methods' such as are demanded of modern teachers. "It was felt by the Board of Trustees that Miss Brown would gracefully announce that she had (Preston News Service). PARIS, FRANCE, Feb. 27.—Following a widely circulated report alleged to have emanated from Americans in France that Negro troops were sent into the Ruhr district official denial was made last Thursday night that any black troops of the Seventh French Colonial regiment have been sent to serve in the Ruhr district. resigned from the faculty, and consequently no announcement was made. Hence it was a compasitively easy matter to attempt to fasten the burden upon Bishop Jones, who, of course, is one of the moving spirits in Wilberforce, and no doubt better known as an official of the school. However, the Board of Trustees assumes the full responsibility of removing Miss Brown from the faculty and it regrets that unpleasant publicity should have been resorted to by the able club leader. "The National Federation of Women's Clubs ought to get the facts and not permit itself to be used in the matter, unless sure of its ground. "The Need for Wilberforce is far more compelling than the upholding of the whims and fancies of a well-meaning but antiquated teacher, who has served her day and now refuses to be shelved to make room for the newer and more competent element. "Surely there is enough example in the refinement of such able and renowned educators as Charles W. Elliott, of Harvard; Henry C. King, of Oberlin; and Charles F. Thwing, of Western Reserve, to give Miss Halle Q Brown abiding comfort in her on forced, idleness from a position for which she was entirely un fitted."

Address CIRCULATION DEPT. The Amsterdam News Careless Shampooing Spoils the Hair Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Many soaps and prepared shampoas contain too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is Mulsified coconut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsified coconut oil in a cup or glass with a little water, then gently cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub the Mulsified in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of hair. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fuffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified coconut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it will supply every member of the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified.

Brooklyn Office: 788 Fulton St., L. E. JOHNSON, Manager. Tel. Prospect 9882. Among other things he said that: "A New Testament Church is one in which the members recognize themselves as the agents through which God supplies the needs of men and women in the community where it is located. The duty of the Abyssinian Church is to meet the needs of the people in Harlem whether they be social, economic, or spiritual. "It is just as truly the duty of this church to help the people of this community to become economically efficient as it is to help them to become spiritually fervent. The same Bible which exhorts us to be fervent in spirit also urges us not to be slovetail in business. It is just as much our duty to get men and women good positions as it is to get them to join the church." "A man out of work will not serve God long. It is not only hard for a very rich man to live a Christian, but it is a mighty big job for one who lives from hand to mouth to follow God. Solomon strikes the happy medium when he says, 'Give me neither poverty nor riches, feed me with food convenient, for me lest I be full and deny thee and say, 'Who is the Lord?' or lest I be poor and steal and take the name of my God in vain.' "The stiff economic conditions in Harlem," Dr. Powell said, have "driven many people to lead dishonest lives. How can a woman be honest who makes $15 a week and pays $60 a month rent. It is a tremendous strain upon such a one's soul to live as a Christian. A poor widow with three children looking up into her face crying for the necessaries of life needs material help more than she does spiritual comfort. A man hungry and cold will not have much patience with a lecture on spirituality. If I had no shoes on my feet I would not want any of you to tell me about the golden slippers of the new Jerusalem. If I did not have warm clothes, your sermon on long white robes and golden girdles of heaven would fall upon deaf ears. Mrs. Laura A.

If I did not have anything to eat and was starving, my essay about the bread of Heaven would aggravate my appetite. Should you come into my sick room when I was in need of physical attention and begin to sing about 'sweet fields dressed in living green,' and to pray long prayers without attaching any simple, material needs I would never want another visit from you while I was sick. "Now, do not understand me to say that it is the duty of the church to give money to every tramp or professional dead beat that comes along, for the Bible declares that 'If any will not work neither shall they eat.' But it does mean that every New Testament Church must find out the real needs of the people in the community where it is located and to do its utmost to supply all those needs in the name and in the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ. Too much of our social service is cold and unsympathetic. Help which is not rendered in the spirit of Christ is like throwing a bone at a dog and such service drives the individual not only from the church, but from God." Dr. W. P. Hayes of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church preached to another crowded room at 3:30 in the afternoon and Prof. L. F. Dyer and his chair thrilled the audience with inspiring anthems. Rev. Arthur J. Payne, the assistant Pastor, preached to about 1,000 people in the evening and Mr. Page's choir lifted the audience at both the morning and evening services with appropriate music.

Thou seest thy Saviour's face. Christina Brown. M. Elizabeth Lawrence. Hessle Parker, Daughters. CRAIG—Ray H. Craig on March 2 passed out into the far beyond. The following are expressions of the sad event. We were deeply grieved at his death. Young and frail, his guardianship entrusted to our care, confiding everything to us, it was natural) that to an aunt and uncle would be added also almost a mother and father's love. He died, too, at a time when life was apparently all blossoming before him. How hard to reconcile ourselves to the loss of our dear kindred when their continued presence is so necessary to our happiness. But may we not hope that the same sweet voice and gentle, confiding spirit that was so dear to us here is waiting for us in the summer land, not dead, but gone before. Lelis Simms, Rush F.

FOSTER THE learning capacity of Negroes, native to Central Africa, is on a level with the average to be found among any other race, including the white race, under the conditions where there is any difference it is in favor of the Central African folk, who, in many instances, equal American Negroes and whites in natural capacity, in spite of the wolf lack of background.

It must be remembered that these little boys and girls have had absolutely no training, even of the crudest kind, to train their minds, or to compete in some honest training, no example of their elders wilt imitating in any intellectual way. "If any other race of people were placed in this same position for the same length of time it is very doubtful if their children would be any brighter than the pupils in our mission school in the heart of Darkest Valley, or if they begin at the very bottom and build up all the fundamentals of civilization in their minds which children in America get at home and from merely living in the community. The idea of exactness in construction has never appear as necessary. We have living forms of the sophistication that is the heritage of civilized folk everywhere, these people lack comprehension of values which are commonly accepted by us because of the experience of others which come to us by reading, observation and community. On one hand we are building these foundations of knowledge. After that we will match them with pupils anywhere. "We are teaching them practical things as well as the elements of education," continued Mr. Hartzler. "The ivory carvers do work any American school-boy could well be proud of. Hat-making, basket-weaving, pottery and scientific gardening are taught so that the young men and women will be able to produce something of value and earn a better living than has been the lot of their people for generations. Active learners do teach classes in these subjects, save the gardening, which Mr. Hartzler personally handles. Carpentry and other forms of manual training as classified in this country are taught by Mr. Hiller." "We find substantially the same situation confronting us as stated by Mr. Hiller: 'The task of impressing the need of exactness in fitting things together is the building of their axes, hoes, musical instruments, the building of their simple huts of poles and mud, the native folk have felt the necessity of exactness. But in progressing beyond their present stage, it must be possible that the point is passed they seem to go much faster in their development in trades. "The big point which we are demonstrating there is," said Mr. Hiller, with enthusiastic emphasis, "is that folk are undoubtedly capable of highgrade work as craftsmen and artisans, provided they have the opportunity. The natives themselves still have the idea that, because they are not white men, they cannot attain the white man's standards. When we are a young native to pay greater efforts to accomplish a certain thing, he often replies. 'Why. I can't. I am only a black man. You are white.' We are always quick to contradict this and are gradually desiring to do things in the minds of the Negro folk when with them we come in contact." Mr. Hartzler has been in this country for the past year. Among his activities here he has been studying scientific play as a means of further teaching his school boys and girls in the Congo. Both he and Haiti declare they have devoted their lives to the education of the Negroes of the African interior, and both are enthusiastic about their work and its rewards in the development of Negro intelligence.

Income Tax Facts Income Tax Facts The revenue act of 1921 provides that an income tax return shall be filed by every person, married or single, whose gross income for the year 1922 was $5,000 or more. Broadly speaking, gross income includes all income received by the taxpayer during the year from salary or wages, or from "business, trade, profession or vocation", dealing in property, or the transaction of any goods or services earned for profit. Net income, upon which the tax is assessed, is gross income less certain specified deductions for business expenses, ibases, bad debt, taxes, contributions, etc. Among the most important items in the returns of many taxpayers are the deductions for business expenses. In the case of a storekeeper, they include a reasonable allowance amounts spent for advertising, premiums for insurance against fire or other business losses, the cost of water, light, heat and fuel used in his place of business, drayage and freight bill. A professional man, doctor or lawyer, may claim as deductions the cost of supplies used in the practice of his profession, expenses paid in the operation and repair of an automobile used in making professional call, dues to professional so- Fitzherbe Specialist in Harlem Real Estate B Exch Mortgages --- Lo 215 West Telephone M LOTS!

"SINCE SHIFTING his residence from Nebraska to Florida," William Jennings Bryan, "thrice Democratic nominee for President, apparently has altered his viewpoint on the problem of the Negro in politics," according to a report from Washington, published in daily newspapers last week. Mr. Bryan is also quoted as saying that the "South's method of handling the race problem is infinitely superior to the theoretical doctrines of Massachusetts and Illinois." So the notorious commoner is not dead, after all. He is mummified. Thomas A.

THE FIVE MINUTE VERDICT of the jury which heard the sordid case of criminal libel against the Community Publishing Company, publishers of the New York "Despatch." is a complete vindication of the good name and reputation of Thomas A. Taylor, Executive Secretary of the 135th Street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. We at least believe that for the good of the Association, the verdict should be accepted as such, regardless to the sincerity or insincerity of those who testified against him. NEVER BEFORE in our remembrance has a man been charged with so many immoral crimes against both God and society as was Secretary Taylor, in the columns of the "Despatch." Never before have so many reputable witnesses appeared before a judge and jury and given evidence supporting the charges or expressing a belief in their truthfulness. And, never before have we seen so many charges fade away into nothingness. AS HAS BEEN INTIMATED by friends of Mr. Taylor, a charge of conspiracy may be brought against John M. Royall, an official of the defunct publishing company, and defendant in the action. We, however, do not believe that there would be much wisdom in such a move, for if Mr. Taylor were guilty of one half of the charges brought against him, he certainly would have been out of place as Secretary of a Young Men's Christian Association. Then, too, there were any number of incidents which tended to support the charges made by the "Despatch." incidents which were difficult of "absolute proof." THERE ARE THOSE who still believe Mr. Taylor guilty of the charges made against him by the "Despatch"; and, there are those who still believe him innocent. Both are entitled to their beliefs. Unaid by either faction TRUTH WILL EVENTUALLY TRIUMPH. The Klan As a Campaign Issue RECORDING TO LATEST reports the Reporter has found in the activities of the Ku Klux Klan a battle-cry for the campaign in 1924, as to force the issue on the Democrat, to either dodge the issue or to open for the Klan. WITH THE EXCEPTION of a few northern cities, where the inhabitants are decidedly in New York City and Boston, the party is favorable to the Klan, and we were that it not for the fact that the anti-Catholic, Tammany Hall Democrats really would be for it. WOULD LIKE to see the Klan make a issue for several reasons. We have said that there is practically no difference a Northern and a Southern Democrat as a campaign issue would prove of whether or not we are right or wrong contention. WE ARE RIGHT in our contention, a coalition the Klan will be made between both of the party. If we are wrong in our case the Northern Democrat, it will mean the Klan will go into the national campaign party on its hands. MAKE THE KU KLUX KLAN A CAMPAIGN BY ALL MEANS. PRESSSED BY CONTEMPORARY ACCORDING TO LATEST reports the Republican party has found in the activities of the Ku Klux Klan a battle cry for the campaign in 1924. The plan is to force the issue on the Democrats and compel them to either dodge the issue or come out in the open for the Klan. WITH THE EXCEPTION of a few northern communities, where the inhabitants are decidedly Catholic, as in New York City and Boston, the Democratic party is favorable to the Klan, and we venture to say that were it not for the fact that the Klan is anti-Catholic, Tammany Hall Democrats in our own city would be for it. WE WOULD LIKE to see the Klan make a campaign issue for several reasons. We have contended that there is practically no difference between a Northern and a Southern Democrat, and the Klan as a campaign issue would prove conclusively whether or not we are right or wrong in our contention. IF WE ARE RIGHT in our contention, a compromise on the Klan will be made between both elements of the party. If we are wrong in our estimate of the Northern Democrat, it will mean that the Democrats will go into the national-campaign-with a split party on its hands. MAKE THE KU KLUX KLAN A CAMPAIGN ISSUE BY ALL MEANS. EXPRESSED BY CONTEMPORARIES Coolidge At Tuskegee (The Boston Guardian). Vice-President Coolidge stood up at Tur- m of the achievements of the Colored peo- d and peace, as he made the dedicatory to "Missie veterana' hospital." he As Vice President Coolie stood up at Tuskegee, reciting the achievements of the Colored people in war and peace, as he made the dedicatory speech "as we veterans' hospital," he should have felt ashamed that he was the Vice-President of a country which has done so much to segregate and degrade the group of American citizens for which the "Jim Crow" hospital was builf. The fact that it cost $2,000,000, serves to emphasize the other fact that it is a costly monument to the Nation's shame. The Colored people having as Mr. Coolidge says, performed the duties of citizenship in peace, and given their lives in war, they should be treated exactly the same as every other element in the mixed population of the United States. No one has suggested a segregated hospital for Jewish veterans or those of other races. The only way now that the people of the United States can prove that the Tuskegee hospital is not a segregated affair, built from their follow citizens and for the express purpose of having all of the other elements despite them, is to construct separated hospitals for Jews, Hawaiians, English, Filipinos, French, Germans, Malays, Polish, Chinese, Russians, Japanese, Spanish and the one hundred and one other races and nationalities which make up our cosmopolitan population. It is not strange that Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, was enthusiastic because it enhances his prestige among the enemies of the Colored people in the United States. His statement that the hospital "is the greatest achievement of our government for the Colored race in America since emancipation," is a joke. It shows that he has not read history; that he has no conception of democracy; that he is a man wholly without vision; that he is satisfied with segregation. He did not speak as a man who felt he had within himself the power of American citizenship. No, Principal Moton, the hospital is NOT an "achievement" but another curse which caste has placed upon the Colored citizens of this caste-cursed country.

Every good deed by every bit of mention we can give it glad, and because we know it helps to the rising sun. The killing of a high school boy as a bandit, a few days ago, aroused city-wide sympathy for him, his parents and the officer whom he wounded. It is past understanding how he attempted to bridge over the period of waiting between wanting and having. He had every opportunity, parentage of the right sort, associates of the best who believed in him, and the favorable prospect which is the birthmark of every young white man. Yet he was killed in a criminal act. Too bad! We wonder how young black men would react if they had the prospects of this boy! Would they care, aspire, strive and persevere if they had such a chance for betterment. God knows! But we would like to see them tried, tried as is the right of every young white man. But between us and such a trial stands the barrier of prejudice, partly due to our birth and environment and partly a handicap thrust upon us. It is assumed that a Negro is always a potential criminal, and in the public's mind he is convicted as soon as accused. This reputation for criminality has been superinduced by the hostile press. Where the nationality of an accused Italian or Jew is not stressed, headlines always mark the race of "The Negro Bandit." Here in Kusnas City, there is a refinement of this sort of propaganda. The press adds "white" when the criminal is white, as though such a conclusion would not be inevitable with nine out of every ten men of that race. It is necessary to call up the color wherever criminal is ruled of a sort of reminder that groves criminals, though he had his face blacked. In all the columns of comment, just a few words about this feature of his case. Except for the chance that he was caught, a "Negro Baddit" would have been accused. This boy, young and unverged in crime, knew that it was easy to divert suspicion by blacking his face. To such a length has the daily press carried its propaganda against us, that the very children count upon our evil reputation. Readers of this paper commend us for the cheerfulness of the news we carry. Heaven knows there is need of it. For a people to be faced every day of their lives with label on their character and insinuations of evil intent is a cheerless, dismal situation. Somebody ought to extend a hand: Somebody ought to keep the light of hope burning. That is what we are trying to do. Every good deed by a Negro gets every bit of mention we can give it, because we are glad, and because we know it helps you keep your face to the risling sun. Socialism and the Negro :(Boston Transcript). colored people of the United States the stage in their development with extensively propagated for this various schemes of political, social advantage are daily laid before them is a good augury. It seems to a few people are wanted. Time we are regarded as a negligible influence The colored people of the United States have reached the stage in their development where they are being extensively propagated for this idea and that. Various schemes of political, social and religious colportage are daily laid before them. In one sense this is a good augury. It seems to show that the colored people are wanted. Time was when they were regarded as a negligible influence. Their only function was supposed to be at work—to serve. For what they thought, for what ideas surged through their brains, nobody in the dominant race cared. All they had to do was to labor and to wait. This is now changed. We hear of this and that propaganda directed toward them. Large sums are expounded on religious proselytism among them. They are reckoned as a possible, a desirable, asset. Their northern movement, as a race, emphasizes this tendency. It brings them under the influence of the kind propagandists who have their headquarters in our great cities little by little. The Negroes move into the radius of all the great movements. In the process, they came under the appeals of certain "causes" from which they have nothing but ill to expect. Among others, the Young People's Socialistic League in New York has opened a "drive" among them. A special effort is being made to infuse with socialistic ideas the minds of their boys and girls in Harlem—possibly also in Boston. They are being told that they have absolutely nothing to hope for from the old political parties, whereas Socialism offers them every equality, every sort of advantage. This claim is absolutely not true. Considering Socialism as primarily an industrial movement, it is hostile to their interest. They are excluded from nearly all the labor organizations. If they form unions, they must form them of their own color. If we can imagine the Socialists in political control in this country, it is perfectly evident that under such control the colored race would not have as good a chance as it now has in the South—and wherever in the North there is a demand for the labor of colored men and women. They have much more to hope for from a systematic and well organized development of the private and corporate industries of the land than they have from the reversal of the present social and industrial order. The nature of the Negro is kind and helpful, and it is always through his sympathy with broad American principles of individual liberty that his success is attained. If he expects more from subversive movements, he is leaning on a broken reed. And if his present condition is in many respects unsatisfactory, he may assume himself that it is happiness itself in comparison with what it would be under a disturbance of calming arrangements. Nature and destiny never made a Socialist of the Negro. Theodore Henry Shackleford Theodore Henry Shackleford Where Christ Lived WITH painful amazement and sorrow, relatives and friends learned of the death of Theodore Henry Shackleford, late of samaica, L. I. This famous poet, artist and craftsman was loved because he was strong, yet tender; proud, yet meek; earnest, yet patient; great, yet humble, ever aspiring righteously. Born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, he, however, rose to literary and art-craft fame while a student at Downington Preparatory College and Industrial School, Pennsylvania, where he became a valuable aid to Dr. Credit in the uplift of that splendid institution. Later he graduated with honors also from the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art at Philadelphia, June 14, 1514. Seemingly bound to a career of educational advancement, he joined the forces at Riverdale Colored Orphan Asylum, N. Y. Immediately his upright, energetic character won for him the admiration of not only the faculty but of the students, who eagerly learned and recited his poems. Romance is akin to Art, honce, Theodore H. Shackleford, who constantly found joy by toiling and sacrificed always for the uplift of his fellow-beings; this true artist, the very mention of whose name brought praise, was rewarded with the great love and companionship of Miss Elenora Work of Nashville. Tenn. a brilliant and popular educator who also was a cottage matron at the Colored Orphan Asylum. They were married January 23, 1919, by Rev. Smith of Yonkers. Not accustomed to the turmoil of New York life, the artist established a coy cottage in Jamaica, L. I., where he found soulful quietude in wedded bliss, which inspired him to construct the beautiful art-furniture and decorations adorning his home, the charm of which overwhelmed his guests. As a craftsman he was paramount, and held the es- PALESTINE, the 'land where Christ lived and long since known to all the civilized world as the Holy Land, on a whole, cannot be called a beautiful land. Every province, and there are seven, has its peculiar physical form and, taken separately, they are interesting to note, but grouped, they remind one of our own hills and valleys, except, of course, they are devoid of the natural signs of care and cultivation. In striking such a comparison, do not believe me to mean the more picturesque scenery which America has, but Palestine, to me, is like the State of California, uphill, down hill; but with twice as much variety of scenery and climate. All America, though, has no such remarkable platteres as Palestine. Running north and south along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea is the Philistine Plain, or, as some know it, the Plain of Sharon, and the Phoenician coast. Gradually rising up from them into what is almost the middle of the country are the mountains of Judah, mountains of Ephraim, and Mount Carmel. These mountains are a literal divider line between East and West Palestine. Just beyond them lies the Dead Sea, 1,300 feet below the level of the Mediterranean. But north of it and about 65 miles distant, is the Sea of Gallilee. These two inland seas are joined by the River of Jordan and its tributaries. Beyond them and further into the interior, lay the Mountains of Moab, Mountains of Gilead and Mount Hermon, all of which slope gently away to the Syrian Desert. The land of Palestine comprises the provinces of Judea, Samaria, Gallilee, Phoenicia, Damascus, Decapholis and Perus, which in turn comprise all the various types of land from sandy seashores and fertile valley sacks to lofty, barren mountains and burning desert lands. These extremely varied regions coupled with the fact that they do not exceed 80 miles in width and 250 miles in length, help to make Palestine the most remarkable part of the world. It has been called the "least of all the lands," and rightly so, for had it been larger, its influence might have been less. As might be supposed, in such a land of varied conditions, the inhabitants are engaged in just as varied pursuits. The chief, however, are farming and sheep raising. There are, of course, the merchants and traders, seafarers, laborers, learned men, guldes, servants, and countless professional "do nothing." But, on a whole, the 700,000 persons get along to suit their fancy without much aid from the outside world and apparently not much thought of it.

It is just now and that then one glimpses an Occidental touch in doing things, and always used by modern settlers. Donkeys and camels continue to be the chief beasts of burden, though the more recent and fashionable residents possess vehicles and horses. Religion is the chief interest of the inhabitants, and why shouldn't it be? Living as they do in the land where Christ lived, their every move is among the most Holy of Holles and alien influences are exerted over them that apparently shut out the worst that is worldly. Of the religions, Mohammedanism has the largest number of followers. It prescribes Friday as the Sabbath, prohibits the use of innocentants and believes in more than one wife. Faithful Mohammedans pray five times daily and wash their feet each time before doing so. Their women wear vells which cover the lower part of the face, the eyes alone being exposed. Among them marriage is easy and so is divorce a word, with a Nilo money, being enough to consummate either by a desiring husband. The real cities of Palestine are few and present a sight far different from our cities, and the scenes may be con- SPINGARN MEDAL TO BE GIVEN IN AUGUST Recommendatios of names for the consideration of the Spingarn Medal Award Committee, of persons of American citizenship and African descent, who distinguished themselves during the year 1922, are to be sent to the secretary of the Committee, Walter F.

At the Amity Baptist Church, Jamaica, L. I. in which he had been a leader in the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School, his funeral services were held. Lofty tribute was offered the excellent character of this youth of thirty-five shining years by the following ministers: Dr. G. W. Hinton of the First Congregational Church. Corona; Dr. G. Dixon of Englewood, N. J., who read from Shackleford's poems, 'My Country' and others. Dr. B. E. Simmons, pastor of the church, delivered the eulogy, emphasizing the poet's great plight. Dr. J. D. Bushell of the Walker Memorial Church was master of ceremonies. He expressed special sympathy for Mrs. Shackleford, who not only mourns her husband, but also her father who died recently. Dr. P. H. Lee, a close friend of the artist since Downington schooldays, portrayed the 'lovable Shackleford.' Dr. McKinney of St. Stephens Episcopal Church, eloquently consoled the teatral congregation. Dr. S. W. Smith of Yonkers, who married the Shacklefordia thrilled and comforted the mourners. Dr. Ryder offered prayer. Musical numbers were rendered very touchingly by Miss Thelma Lee. Among the throng that viewed his remains-were his widow, mother, sister and brothers, some of whom came from Battle Creek, Mich. Mrs. Ralph Gilbert of Ann Arbor, Mrs. Leroy Brown, Mr. F. B. Bosworth, Miss Sybil Bazel of Jamica, Mrs. Dora Cole Norman, Mr. Kramer, noted etcher of the Bronx, and the writer, Marcellus Hawkins, artist and college chum of the late T. H. Shackleford.

A succession of narrow, crooked streets, always filled with brilliantly attired people; low stone dwellings; a row of disarranged, but well stocked shops; countless minarets and spires piercing the numerous mosquees and churches; basars, beggars and a conglomeration of everything under the sun. Jerusalem in particular is the home of all the sects and "isms" known in Christendom, and it is not much more than that. Many things one would expect to find there are not to be seen. There are no parks or theatres, no concerts, no libraries, clubs or lectures. Simple things like soda-water, light lunches, tooth-paste and shoe polish are unknown to shop keepers. Only the bare necessities of an antiquated people are carried. Everywhere the Holy Land is spoken of in superlative terms, and rightly so. for with its large number of Biblically historical points, its singular geographical traits, its sacred importance. It is the one such place in all the world, holy, enchanted and alluring. EDUCATORS TO MEET IN CONVENTION MAR. 5 Representatives Expected From All Over the Country.

COLORED DOLLS Birth Control and Albany (PROTECTED BY THE KELLEY NEWSPAPER FEATURE SERVICE.) It is a hard thing to root out a superstition, or a semi-religious "possession." Some did not even want the doctors and scientists to save mothers some of the pain of travail, simply because the Bible said they were fated to suffer. Of course, the folks who wrote the Bible did not know anything else to do but let the travailing mother suffer, and often die. When people are ignorant about a thing, they explain it religiously. Now, birth control is one thing that is surely coming into the civilized world, and the reasons are plain. But the superstitious and super-religious would prefer to see the coming generation "drift" into such knowledge thru the leading of criminals and ignoramuses, than to have them led by reputable and dependable characters like Mrs. Sanger. The Mayor of Albany is reported to have said that he could tell from the subject that the discussion of it was going to violate the law. Therefore he prevented Mrs. Sanger's meeting on this presumption. The world would still be in the dark ages, if it had always been dominated by such ignorance as that. They thought that the earth was the center of the universe, and if Galileo wanted to show that it was not, why, the priests could prove that he was going to violate the law by his very subject, and before any discussion of it. Intolerance is the bulwalk of ignorance, and ignorance is in turn the hotbed of intolerance. It should not be against the law to discuss any subject under the sun. The decency of the discussion—and its character—should be the only subject of investigation. The law should not protect ignorance as if it were a 'blessing. There is no security in ignorance of anything. If to keep people ignorant be the only way to keep them good, this little old world was doomed when Nature gave man a brain and a thumb. Book Chat by MARY WHITE OVINGTON PINEY WOODS AND ITS STORY by Lawrence C. Jones. Published by The Fleming H. Revell Co., New York City. This story follows along the line of a series of autobiographies headed by the world-famous "Up From Slavery." It recites the early struggles of an ambitious colored youth for an education and his later success in building up, by slow degrees, a colored school. With Edwards of Alabama, with Holtzclaw of Mississippi, Lawrence Jones of Piney Woods has made a very acceptable, interesting story of his life and work. Mr. Jones' childhood was not one of great privations; but you early see the boy's tenacity of purpose, his determination to put through any job that he undertakes. Among the pictures you have is that of a little boy, going on his newspaper route, and finding at its end that a hole in his pocket has left him penniless. It is night, there is a church festival which he has expected to attend, where he will be warm and merry and well fed. But the lost penniles and nickels and dimes must be found. So, borrowing a lantern, he spends hour after hour retracing his route and picking up all of the lost money but fifty-five cents. He goes to bed hungry and cold, but with strengthened will. This will carries him through high school and college, where he works his way, and brings him at last to the pinelands of Mississippi, there to start a rural school. Lawrence Jones was not a Southerner going back to the people of his childhood. He was an Iowa, accustomed to the free life of the West, to comradeship with white boys, to that unconscious good fellowship that is the kind worth having. He might have made a success in many lines in the North, but the spirit of the pioneer was upon him and he returned to where he felt his people most needed him. His university was Mark Hopkins log, with a teacher on one end and a scholar on the other. His school began literally this way, out of doors, oh logs under trees. Nothing could discourage him, and so one building came and, later, others. Jealousy, that most serious defect in the Negro race, came too, but the majority in the community stood by him, the children flocked to be taught, and the Piney Woods School took its place among the group of noble institutions that have been built despite discouragement and opposition, despite prejudice and ignorance that would down all but the bravest. The battlefield shows no bravery greater than that of the pioneers in Negro education in the South. One wishes that a volume like this did not have to be so frankly commercial, so given over to the idea of getting money for Piney Woods. Its optimism, and this is true of all the biographies of which I have spoken, sometimes forces, and its radical of the names of the board of trustees, of the curriculum and of the successful graduates is decidedly artistic. These books begin so naturally but end like a Saturday evening Post story, not with an eye to reality, but with an eye to the advertisements. To get folk to spend money on anything we must get them in good humor with themselves and the world. Thus. Mr. Jones spills the great moment in the book when he is taken by a mob to be lynched. Instead of giving the story in detail, as he can, he stairs over it, leaving you with the feeling that to have been thrown on a pile of logs, under a tree on which you were to be hung, was a mere unpleasant incident, the important fact being that the mob grew kinder under your oratory and let you off with a collection. He puts this story in the chapter entitled "Messages of Hope." In the same way he says little regarding the shocking lack of public education for the colored children of his State, reminding us again and again of his good white friends. Well, perhaps it's only because we refuse to see life as it really is that we are able to live it at all. There is no such frightful, un-American pessimism as this in "Piney Wood," but a strong faith in God and country coupled with a firm determination to put this faith into a life of daily, active service.
