The bars are down for the boot juggers. When Titus Oates, who attempted to blow up the British Parliament, was arrested, that body could go on, but as a result of my arrest, Inspector Donohue's squad is crippled. Through some political influence or machinations the squid has had to change the nature of its work. The men are now scattered among the different products. Victory for Vice. "Sweet excuse of rum galloping dice and vice upon a certain prohibition element in Harlem. These conditions are the very breath of the existence of this element." So you can imagine now glad this element is over my arrest. "All this makes it hard for the lawmaking people—the people who stand for clean politics, not only in Harlem, but throughout the country." Charging failure on the part of some district attorneys to back up the policemen, Officer McLeod said: "Due to the laxity of some officers of the law in conducting prosecutions, so as not to assist policemen, many criminals escape. The officer is sent out to do his duty, therefore should he not have the called cooperation of those courts in order that he may do that lady well?" "I'm not trying to change the public of the judges nor do I wish a percentage of the bad guys be hoggers. But, as the operation of a warrant costs about 10% and the citizens are now shoulderling a heavy burden in that piece of political prostitution known as the Mulligan Act. You can I do not wish either to be too rigid or too lax about the matter." "Tellersmen are underpaid. The remuneration they receive is inadequate to the character of the service they render. Did civil servant say that the Millennium Gage Act is held intact on the statute books for the purpose of the pollution?" Officer McLendon is one of the most capable men in the department, and has many clever captures to his credit. He was suspended for a week, was reinforced and transferred, and is now in uniform.

ALEXANDER 99 Downing St. Brooklyn, N. Y. TIE YOUR MULE IN TIME Court Holds That Conduct Was Not That of an Outraged Woman; Jury Not Properly Instructed. RALEIGH, N. C., April 11. In the case of James Williams, sentenced to death for criminal assault upon a young woman, defense in the lower court asked the judge to charge the jury that it might bring in a verdict finding the defendant guilty of rape, assault with intent to commit rape, or assault upon a female over 18 years of age, or not guilty. The court instructed the jury that it should find the prisoner guilty of rape or not guilty. The Supreme Court, sending the case back for new trial, held that failure of court to charge substantially as requested by counsel for defense was error. The opinion of the higher court attacks the evidence of the prosecuting witness. The instruction requested by the prison should have given at least subpoena, and even if not given, if guilty, not been asked for, the Judge of own motion, should have submitted to the jury proper instruction as to the violation of a lesser offense than that charged in the blank of indictment, and this failure to do so, without an appropriate prayer by the prisoner was error. "It is a well recognized principle that where one is indicted for a crime and under the same bill, he may be convicted of a lesser degree of the same crime, and there is evidence tending to support the milder verdict, the prisoner is entitled to he his view presented to the jury under a correct charge, and an error in this respect is not cured by a verdict connecting the prisoner of a higher offense, for, in such case, it cannot be explained that the jury would not have convicted of a lesser crime, if one view had been correctly presented by the Judge upon evidence." Holding the evidence against the prisoner was of a very doubtful or questionable character, including even that the prosecutrix herself, the Court continues: "Her conduct was not, by any means, that of an outraged woman, and certainly not of a chaste, or virtuous woman but she acted in a perfectly natural and normal way of a lewd and insinculous female. It is unfortunately, sometimes, the way of a mid with a man and converse, who recite this much of the testimony, who fully judges should charge juries in such cases, so that they may subject the testimony to close scrutiny and examination, as the accusation is one very easy to make and very hard for the man to rebut or to overcome."

Facts Not Found in Books on Africa Revealed by White Woman Miss Simonton, Who Spent Ten Years on "Dark Continent," Says Revolting Disease Was Introduced by White Men Facts about conditions in Africa not found in books were told by Miss Ida Vera Simonton, at her studio, 24 East 40th Street, last Friday night, to a select party of friends. Miss Simonton spent ten years in Africa, and is considered an authority on African women and children. Some of her African scenes are to be found in the American Museum of Natural History as window transparencies in the Negro section. "I was twenty-two years of age when I made my first trip to Africa," she said. "On leaving Havre for West Africa I found that my travelling companion was a colored man, and as an American woman I protested, and went second class, instead. Later I found that Negro was the Attorney-General of Sierra Leone, an Oxford graduate, and a perfect gentleman. There were other men on the boat—white men—and this Negro I found out was the only one who bathed every day. The Frenchmen and others instead of bathing used perfume and kept on adding more. Later I apologized to the colored man. He smiled and said, 'I don't blame you for not wanting to stand the company of such an ugly man as I am.'" White men have taken venereal disease into Africa, said the speaker, and it is causing havoc there. er, and it is causing havoc there "One morning early at a missionary post." she said. "I saw a native woman coming in with a baby. The woman was nude as is the custom in that part, and I could see a great wound in her side, exposing a rib, I though she had been attacked by a wild beast and hurriedly called the nurse. When the nurse, an English woman came she said indignantly to me. Why, don't you know syphilis?" The baby was also eaten with it." When asked, how syphilis came to be in Africa, Miss Simonton said that it had been introduced there by white men, the same as in the New World. "The white woman is quite safe in Africa," she continued. "The greater part of the time I was alone in the bush with Negro men, and not one of them made the least advance to me. It is only when white men are around that there is likely to be any trouble. White men have many children by native women. "White men in Africa are very jealous of one another. The missionary is against the trader, and the government officials is against them both. It is only the natives who stand together. Before the war the nation couldn't get a gun, all men going into the bush had to have licenses for their firearms and could dispose of a gun only to white men under a severe penalty. Now, guns are plentiful among the natives. Taking Africans to Europe to fight white men has been a big blow to white prestige in Africa." The speaker declared that from what she saw in Africa she intended to fight the League of Nations with all her influence. She declared that it would only serve to make the life of the natives even more unbearable. "The Belgians massacred the natives of the Congo, white France used the economic weapon to starve them out. Natives who owned the land for centuries would suddenly wake up some morning to find that their homes and crops had been given by some white man to another white man, and that they dared not pick their breadfruits or go hunting without a severe penalty. It is this sort of thing America will be called to abet if she enters the League." Miss Simonton declared that the facts as presented in Maran's "Dataula" were true. WIFE OF REV.

MAN AND WIFE JAILED AFTER ATTACK BY MOB Investigation is being made of the case of James Gordon and his wife, Mattie Gordon, of Louisa, Virginia, who were jailed, it is charged, after a mob attack in which a white man was killed." The trouble which occurred in February, is said to have artisen over a piece of land claimed by both Mr. Gordon and the white man, whose location had been settled some months before by a local court.

The trial is scheduled to take place at the Louisa, Virginia, court house between the 14th and the 21st of May. OFFICES OF "DAWN" K.K, K. ORGAN, BOMBED CHICAGO. April 9.—Explosion of a bomb wrecked the publication office of Dawn, a Ku Klux Klan organ, last Friday. Twenty minutes later another bomb damaged the office of F. W. Gillilland, a roofer, who said he had advertised in the klan publication. The two explosions, police said, probably were set off by the same person. Soon after the bombing police telephoned advertisers of Dawn to warn them of possible bombing. Edwin J. Parke, publisher of Dawn, said he had been receiving threatening letters. "Only two days ago I received a telephone call warning me that my printing establishment and my home would be blown up," he added. Policemen were assigned to guard Parke's home.

Grants Told Klan Secrets; Found Shot Dead Told Klan Secrets; Found Shot Dead Evidence Fails to Support Theory That Wealthy Man Killed Self. CLARKEBURG, W. Va., April 7—Secrets of the Ku Klux Klan, which he is said to have divulged, are held responsible for the death of Kent W. Ogden, wealthy oil producer of Wallace, an oil town twelve miles north of here, and a sweeping investigation of the activities of the Klan in this section is to be made by Prosecuting Attorney Morris of Harrison County. Notes in the possession of the District Attorney, the contents of which have not been divulged, will form the basis of the inquiry. Ogden was found shot to death on the floor of one of his derricks late last Tuesday. A bullet had passed through his body and a revolver lay at his side. The suicide theory was at once adopted by authorities, but developments, including the failure of the authorities to find the bullet, which, passing through the man's body, must have imbedded itself in the flooring of the derrick, has led to the theory that the oil operator was murdered and some point distant from the derrick and the body carried there by the killers. Officials of the Wallace Klan in statements to local newspapers have denied emphatically that any activities planned by the Klan were of criminal nature. but a notebook in the dead man's clothing contained inscriptions which contradict these assertions. The notebook was turned over to Preserving Attorney Morris, who said he will make public the contents after thoroughly investigating. A special Grand Jury may be emplain. The father has maintained that his son committed suicide as the result of worry over what the consequences of his revealing secrets of the Klan might be, but other members of the family are inclined to the theory that he was murdered. Prominent Klansmen have also voiced the theory that Ogden was murdered, but scoff at the idea that he was a victim of Klan vengeance. DR. J. E. K. AGGREY TO SPEAK AT Y. M. C.A. Dr. J. E. K.

Will Consist of Spanish, Indian Norte Peoples in Mexico NEGRO PEOPLE IN MEXICO. SAN DIEGO, Calif., Apr. 9.—(Pacific News Bureau.) "Within four or five generations hence an entirely new race will beformed in the Republic of Mexico," stated Dr. Edgard I. Howett, famous author-educator-lecturer in a recent address before the College Women's Club of San Delgo. "This new race," said Dr. Hewett, "will have as its basis the North American Indian and will include the amalgamation of the Negro and the Spanish." According to Dr. Hewett, "this new race will have black personal characteristics, Indian ideas and a language that is a mixture of English, French and Spanish." NEGRO SEXTON BURIED FROM WHITE CHURCH WINOHESTER, Va., April 9—According to the white man's note in the South an unusual tribute was paid to the memory of a "faithful" and loyal colored man, when funeral rites were held in the white Presbyterian church for Robert Davis, who for more than 55 years was sexton of the edifice in which his body was carried for the last offices of the dead. At the funeral services one section was reserved for the whites and another for the colored people. The church was crowded. Davis was a wellknown character in all parts of the city and was familiarly known as "Uncle Bob." N. Y.

SUNDAYS Broker Launch Move to Erect Memorial Question to Be Debated by Teams of Howard and Other Universities Washington, April 9.—A movement to erect in Washington a national memorial building "to commemorate the heroic deeds of Negro soldiers and sailors, who fought in all the wars of our country," was announced last week by Ferdinand D. Lee, president of the National Memorial Association, Inc. The association was formed in 1916. In 1919 Representative L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, introduced a bill to create a commission to procure a site, plan and design for the proposed building, but demand for government economy blocked passage of the measure. The building as planned will be an imposing coltoned structure, to serve not only as a memorial to living and dead heroes of the Negro race, but as an educational temple, where statues of colored leaders may be placed, the association points out. Those Indoering Move. The movement, it was explained, has been indorsed by the following national organizations: Spanish War Veterans.

PAGE FOUR Basel Commissioners of M Lay Plans for Players Have All Reported and Anxiously Awa Signed B PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 7.—The Southwest branch of the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. again sheltered the leading lights of colored baseball in the East. The Mutual Association of Eastern Colored Baseball Club hold what will probably be the last meeting before the clubs swing into action the latter part of this month. After wrestling several hours with the problems that confronted them, the club settled over the new league in a manner that will meet with the hearty approval of the fans, the commissioners are satisfied that no stone has been left unturned to give the public an enterprise worthy of their support. The following commissioners were present when Chairman Bolden called the meeting to order: Thomas Jackson, James J. Keenan, Charles P. Spedden and Nat C. Strong, the one absent commissioner, being Alexander Pompe, leader of the Cuban Stars, who is down in Cuba on an ivory hunt, and promises to bring back the greatest collection of ball players that the islands have ever yielded. Action always speaks louder than words, and the owners of clubs in the Mutual Association have put in many busy moments since the formation of the organization gathering together for the first joint yield them the first championship. The ball players being aware of the recognized financial resources of all clubs in the Mutual Association, have explicit confidence in connecting with the Easter norganization. 'One of the most recent luminaries to sign with the Brooklyn Royals Glants" was "Cannonball" Dick Redding, the well-known knicker. An another experienced pitcher was all that the Royals needed, they now loom up as a dangerous man in line. S. Seymour, c. Cason, c. Douglas, h. Jackson, 2b. Ib, b. Wagner, s.s.

Manager Spadden of the Baltimore Black Sox made a ten strike when he signed Rojo, the pepper catcher, and Britt, one of the best all-around players in the game. Mahoney is also a newcomer to the Mohomberal City, and, from the manner in which he performed on the mound last season, should trim in many wins for the Sox this year. The balance of the team will be composed of Lewis c. Smith, Cheo Smith, 2b; Milley 2b; "Possum" Poles s.; Wary Smith, r. Smith; Hairy (Rags) Roberts, e.f.; Hull, L.; Sykes, s.; Wooler, s.; Richardson p. Tom Jackson, mentor of the Burchar Glants, had not only the proposition of strengthening his club to contend with, but a home path at Atlantic City was not available, and the promoters have been forced to bulb. Jackson, however, is optimistic, stating, "The park will be completed by the first of May. The issue of Atlantic City have welcomed the entrance of our club into organized ball and we feel confident that our club should be able to stay around the top." The roster of the Atlantic City club will include: James (Yank) Deas, c. Cummings, Ib. Dows. 2b.; Davis, 2b.; Lindsay, c. Lundy. m.s. White, IK.; Mason, c.f. Reed, h.; Hampton, p.; Harper, p.; Henderson, p.; Nut Johnson, p. With lines out to land another reliable backstep, the seashore representatives present a formidable array. The Lincoln Giants management has surrounded big Joe Williams with a wealth of talent, especially in the pitching department, the following hurriers being capable of making much trouble for opposing clubs: Dave Brown, Holland, Streeter and Bradford, Marcel, "Highpockets" Hudspeth and James Brooks are new men that Owner Keenan is banking on to strengthen his combination. Two other players in line are: Galenwood, c.; Pierce, c.; Hudspeth 1b; Singer, 2b; George Fail, s.; Perry, 3b; Gaens, I.; Julc Thomas, c.; Spottawood Poles, To make sure that he will not overlook some promising material, Manager, Pompe of the Cuban Storm has made a trip to the islands. Outfielder Oms of the Cubans will have to be reckoned with when it comes to long distance hitting.

Public Hollers on Fake Players Billed to Meet Posey and His So-Called Champions Failed to Show Up The wise fans who have followed basketball all season down at the Commonwealth Casino are putting up a hoiller that can be heard all over Harlem because the Perth Amboy team, which has detected the Commonwealth, a serifed Creedion did not put in its appearance to face the Loondi队 of Pittsburgh on last Sunday night. Truth to tell, only one player recognized by the fans as a member of the Perth Amboy team appear in the lineup, the others being ringers. The game took place at the Renalance Casino before a small gathering. New York not being interested in the bunch from Pittsburgh claiming a championship without consideration for the team that defeated them in Xenio, O, this season. Although drawing down his guarantee, Posey is a wiser bird to fly than at any other time, as he has seen for himself that Lochie cannot enter this town without the sanction of certain powers and draw a crowd. Did it not been for our "playup" of the Commonwealth-League game when the twelve hundred that turned out would have been much smaller. We played this latter game to the skies, drew in comments from all the other papers and a fair gathering greeted the Pittsburghians. The slim gathering at the Renalissance Casino on Sunday night presages the death of the Pittsburghians in this neck of the woods, a death at which we will make the oration next season to prove to our Pittsburgh friend he cannot make demands out of reason and get away with them as long as we are pounding a typewriter here.

April 10—The Colorado Senate last Thursday killed a bill, by a vote of 17 to 18, to legalize boxing in this State. The measure was opposed by many of the loading politicians of the State. It is thought the measure will be re-introduced at the next session of the State Legislature. Billiard Tournament Starts Monday evening for the tenth time the Annual Round Robin Tournament of the Colored Amateur Billiard Players' Club of Greater New York got under way with 18 entries, among which are many handicaps for the W. H. Willie Trophy and others for high run, best average in any one game, etc. This tournament is the club's season's classic. The prize is a much-coveted trophy which must be two three times to become the personal property of any player. Winners of previous seasons are Willie Williams, Wendell Boublan, Chester Jones, F. Francisillon George B. Williams, Earle Thomas, George B. Williams, Ernest Thomas, A. Adams, two times. The games are of 100 points, to be played each evening beginning April 19, until finished, which must be by May 20, at which time the club will tender a complimentary banquet to the successful winners and all contestants. It is the desire of the club, if arrangements can be made, to challenge the winner of the Champions Defender's.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1923 THE WORLD OF SPORT The Sportive Spotlight With the exception of the New York Age, I have found my "monica" in every paper laying claim to prominence in the world of sport, the week after the Loendi-Commonwealth game, and I smile with the satisfaction that comes to one whose course is laid out in a certain direction from which he will not swerve. I smile because I see my brothers so readily joining with the mob. This is to be expected. Loendi won and it would not do for them to speak too loudly of the unfair things of which they hinted but which they did not have the backbone to de- It is not the way of the world. My contemporaries have sent up a wall of questions wondering why I was not in at the death. Some of them have formed their own conclusions but none ever thought that among them could be one who would turn away in disgust from an atmosphere surcharged with that thread of unfairness which will never add to our progress, in the field of athletic endeavor. I can wait for Father Time to prove my conclusions correct. In the meantime let us hope that professionalism will do for us what amateurism did. I am in a retrospective mood and as I turn back the pages of the book of yesteryear such names as Dr. Hudson Oliver, Dr. Edward Gray, Dr. Roy Peyton, Counsellor J. Mercer Burrell, Gerald Clifton and Conrad Norman, the brothers Curtis (both doctors), Dr. Eugene Williams and a host of others are passing before me. In their day and time they played for the game's sake and when they stepped from it, they entered life's game with the same spirit and today they are, each and every one of them, contributing more than their share towards the progress of the race. Wherever they go, whatever they do, they carry a superior something with them and I thank God for circumstances which kept them in a path to be of great service after they laid away their basketball and other toys. Under the auspices which professionalism started out there was reason to hope that from the ranks would come men to whom we could point with pride, but when one side will insist upon having the best of the argument before the start of the game and resort to means that will never hold good where truth and justice are slitting as judge and jury, we deplore the conditions and cannot help but rail against them. I would ask the reader to particularly note that those men who are doing the best work in life's game are those very men who never asked odds or resorted to unfair means. True, amateurism gave us the same questionable characters, and when they had reached the highest peaks it was only to again come to earth with the rabble. Name me. I defy you one and all, a living athlete of note who played the game fair in his day who is not today enjoying the fruits of his early boyhood and youth. Name me one who, resorting to damnable measures who can be pointed to as having accomplished anything worth while after he left the field to which he brought no honor. Aye. we are moved by the spirit of the mob and the momentary victory, forgetting that in honest defeat one finds more to praise and even we the week before referred to the game now past as "for the world's championship." it was a mistake which, fortunately, we rectified before we wont too far, for have we not an honest demand from the west asking that we tell what by what sense of reasoning do we designate champions? John Roan Post of Xenia, Ohio, would like to know if their victory over the Loendi team of Pittsburgh means nothing. Gentlemen, I refer you to the learned gentlemens of the press who will no doubt tell us all if championships and all games are not accepted by victories. True, you won a clean cut victory from the Loendi team of Pittsburgh, but today we are all carried away with the great victory of the Pittsburgh team over the Commonwealth and what is such a thing as considering the team that won from this same Pittsburgh team. The mob is shouting and we must shout with the mob. Yes, gentlemen, I am in retrospective mood and I smile broadly when I remember that the most prominent inducement offered some of our New York players to leave this town some time ago to play with a certain out-of-town team was the opportunity to nightly "cut the game" at a gambling house. You, and you, and you, who have contributed to the downfall of amateurism look well before professionalism does not receive the same dose. Remember, also, that even in professionalism there are principles which must be lived up to and simply because your rival might give in to your unjust demands does not say you are the winner. Ask me why professionalism in basketball received as big a black eye among the whites and why even the Celtics failed to draw bumper houses to Madison Square Garden in recent months even though they had a wonderful start. The best man can never win with the odds favoring one side and rival writers can moan from now until doomday, but it will never change matters. Shucks, but why look for fairness from the same source that will enter into so-called gentlemanly agreements and shortly after refuse to live up to them. A local weekly wanted to know why one of the New York correspondents of a certain paper was not detailed to write the story of the Loendl-Commonwealth game. Well, that's a long story which could have been answered did this same rival follow the columns of the out-of-town sheet and took notice that at least one of the New York correspondents had withdrawn weeks before. He should have bluntly asked the real reason for the out-of-town paper. Barkls is willin'. Amateur Championship 18-2 balk-line billiards. Elected entries to play this year are C. E. Scott, G. C.

Of course, we are in this state of mind as we found the title a misnomer and the whole thing simply turned out to be a vaudeville offering which created a great deal of fun for those in attendance with much appreciation for the successful work of many in the company, and before it is too late we want to rise and congratulate Mrs. Lucille F. Randolph and Mme. Leila Walker for bringing together this splendid array of charmung young ladies which made it possible to stage a benefit for one of the most worthy charities. Truth to tell, as we gaze upon Marlon Moore we could not help but admit at least to ourselves that "Shuffle Along Number 2" which appeared at this theatre some weeks ago did not have a young woman in the entire company with the mental capacity for grasping a part as did Marlon, and considering that she was all conceived in fun in the theatre in one place we wonder to what heights Marlon would reach did she ever entertain the idea of doing the same thing seriously. Then there was Deborah Jones singing "Harry" in a manner that would have made a much better impression in the show above spoken of if she had to do instead of the young lady essaying it. And what three young ladies "in the profession" could have put on their work superior to Marion Moore, Blanch Levy and Mabel Jones as the "De Luxe Trio"? None that we have seen in many a moon in Harlem. Shucks, you rave about your dark skimmed seniors and Valentines but you failed to take note of Olive Thomas and Rosalind Snead. They are the zlz and for our edification they put on a "Tango Argentine" that would have drawn a smile of approval from Rodolph Valentine. More power to the young ladies.

A story of the Orient and the desert. "The Voice From the Minaret" holds one spellbound through its beauty and its dramatic power. It relates the adventurous romance of a noblewoman and a youth from England, traveling on a pilgrimage through the deserts, and whose love transcends obstacles and difficulties. They are saved from folly by the "voice from the Minaret," but eventually love triumphs—and a thrilling story is brought to a logical and happy ending.

The show this week at the La Layette Theatre, entitled "11-11- got off to a flying start on Monday, night and every indication points to good business for the offering during the remainder of its stay at this popular Harlem house. The roster of well-known performers appearing in the show, we make bold to say, should insure auditors a fine evening, it spent at the La Layette. Reviewed when it first played hero in these columns, we find it unnecessary to again go into details except to remark that we find "T.I.I" just as entertaining as in the past. Deacon Jones, Addison Curry, Garland Howard, Evon Robinson, Mae Brown, Leigh Whippper, Sam Cook, Dike Thomas, "Spody Smith, Eleanor Wilson and Trixie Smith are to the fore with flash work. Comedy aplenty furnished by "Speedy" is knocking them on their seats, while the ever "so shit" and popular Garland Howard gain favors to the amusement of those in attendance.

Another Side of the C Color in London Recent Canard By British Wr Gentlemen Have Been Tou- From This LONDON—British love for the American Negro is getting to be strong enough (in the opinions of such international experts as one finds about the Green Rodin Club) to make up for the icy heart-states many important Britishers experience when they think about the Senate at Washington. American law-makers have given Britain no amusement since the armistice. American Negroes seem likely to furpish most of Britain, entertain them for some time to come. The Empire, for example, has introduced a novelty in cabaret shows which, to my surprise, prevaire popular. It runs first in the unpopular hours between 5 and 7 P.M., and then re-begins at midnight to run as late as the right British police regulations will allow. Such regulations are more violated on this law-abiding side. All performers are Negroes from America, a situation which I am told, was tried two by three years ago on Browaiway, with financially disastrous results. Similar failure is predicted for the experiment here by some but many blainly ask "why?" when Americans declare that, while Negro minstrels used to be popular in America, Negro women never have been accorded a complacent hearing in respectable American剧院 in exhibitions which have involved appearance in short skirts or less or with makeup on their faces. The Empire's show is to be called "The Plantation" and evidently is to be a jazzy picture of old slaves days. One wonder just how it will be received, while so many Englishmen are beginning to achieve something akin to American race prejudice because of events in India and Egypt. But probably there will be no serious antagonism. The Englishman is amazing in his tolerance about suca matters. Negro Revue. Also. Nor, is this the only manifestation here in London of what may be called a crease for American Negro entertainment. The company for the Empire has been brought over by no less than Sir Alfred Butt. Now Sir Cochran announces a Negro routine to be called "Dover Street in Dixie." to be done at the famous Pavilion, while the completely black "Shuffle Along" is headed toward us.

"Do Do" Writes a Play And We Have It on the Authority of J. A. Jackson That It Is a Meritorious Effort We have never been brought into close contact with "Do Do" Green, one of the comedians with "Liza" at Nora Bayes Theatre, but in the time we have been seeing him around New York we have noted that he is a splendid comedian and exceedingly modest with it. When it fell to the lot of J. A. J. to give "Do Do" a line on a new play he has written, it was with pleasure that we sensed that Jack also appreciated the work of this performer and we are reproducing from Jackson's page on the Billboard the good things said about "Do Do" and hope that in the year future the chance will come for the comedian to introduce this play, which we understand from Jack's heart of the ordinary. Says the page: The Day Green, one of the sometimes whose intelligent delineation of the natural unquiet humor of the small-town Negro has an outstanding feature of the "Lil'bah" show, has written a play that he hopes to have produced next season. The piece differs quite materially in many ways with the shows that have been presented, in that the story is built around natural characters, in natural situations, and the humor of its situations is derived from the many humorous things that are easily recognizable. Mr Green has accomplished the place of pleasure of reading his manuscript with the result that we have been astounded by the very keen observation and the close study of his race and its relation to current world history on the part of one who we had engaged with. With adequate experience Mr. Green is destined to become an important personage in the amusement world. The Question Anent Mon Here Presented Writers Show That These Touched By Propaganda this Side. son's racial followed the presence here of literally dozens of black jazz bands from the States, which are to be found in restaurants, cabaret, and everywhere, else where bands are paid to play, and son will get the reason why the Hippodrome, London's very largest vandville and spectacle house, is considering the possibility of an All-Negro show. Nearly all and perhaps all the Negroes in these various entertainments for the amusement of white audiences are being brought from America. Only a few Negroes came to America many cutely restored regions of the British Empire and these are from India and are not truly Negroes. Said to Draw Big Pay. Some of the Negro entertainers already here from the States are said to be drawing very large calebars and having a delightful time. They are also among English men most amazing to an American, and even shocking to the average American from the Southern States. At one cabaret recently I raw white Englishmen absorbed in talk, with Negro cir' dancers at a table among really nice people and at another I saw two evidently prosperous and handsomely dressed English women dancing with fine-looking American negroes, neither oilpile apparently causing any feeling of antagonism among spectators.

I am glancing at one of the scenes from "Salome" appearing in a local paper and almost fell over when I glimmed the announcement under the cut which stated that "Salome" will be presented by OSCAR WILDE. Perhaps resurrection day is at hand and Oscar Wilde, who has been dead all these years, will return to the land of the living to supervise the production of his show at the Lafayette Theatre. The least the Coleman Brothers can do since this voluntary announcement of the return to earth of Mr. Wilde By our learned critics will be to invite Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to be present as he is right now in this country lecturing and can point to the wraith of Oscar as proof positive of his (Doyle's) contention that they do come back. Messrs. Sol and Abe have no doubt sent a resolution of thanks to the publication which will resurrect so great a character to answer a curtain call on "Salome's" first night in Harlem. Such a play as "Who Wins?" written for amateur production by R. C. McPherson, (Cecil Mack), could be handled to good advantage by the Debutantes, assisted by some of the talented young male amateurs. Mrs. Randolph would do well to look into this as another sure fire success at a midnight performance at the Lafayette would be the result. We cannot have too many of these affairs for worthy charities. If we can turn out to so many affairs where the money goes into the pockets of individuals, truly there can be no kick on staging these midnight benefits for the deserving people of the race. Speaking of charitable affairs and recalling a discussion of stars of the present day, we are reminded of the splendid work done by Aida Overton Walker for charity up to the time she died. Here indeed was a real star in the theatrical firmament and while we are being surreptitious with concerts, we are wondering what star of the present day will follow the example of the beloved Alda and finance benefits for some of our worthy charities while enjoying their place in the spotlight. One of those white Englishmen who have drunk deeply at the count of American Race Prejudice, tells us in an article reproduced in one of our local weeklies that the principals of the Williams and Walker court entitled "In Dahomey" while in London "behaved" themselves but the chorus men brought discredit on the company. Such a lie is made out of whole cloth and if you will read the article from England appearing in another column you will see where the misbehavior or the chorus boys lie. The young English damels simply went wild over them and in treating the British gals courteously and accepting their many invitations to enjoy their society, the chorus men did what any bunch of young and unmarried men would do, aye, and some married ones, too. Speaking of this thing of the colors mixing once in a white, I wonder how many know that a number of white men since the influx to stage colored shows have shown more than a tendency to gaze with approval on the colored chorus girls? Shuckee; we are quietly gathering the evidence of this natural (?) tendency of white men and we cut loose with our little sensation we are going to make the London Johnles look tame when compared with some of our friends of the opposite race right here in the good old U. S. A. It is indeed a true saying that the race is not always to the swift. Looking back at the big race 1918 Broadway we recall many who started only to be outdistanced by those who entered late under handicaps Irvin Miller entered late and whiff "Liza" is no sensation, "spite of the fine things said of the dancing chorus, he breathed the tape ahead of many others. Now comes Eddie Hunter with his "How Come" who went Irwin one better by landing on the street made famous by George M. Cohan. Yes, sir, Eddle at the head of this new show will be right on 42nd street, two steps and a whisper from Times Square, and his final spurt will be to reach the hearts of the people frequenting the most talked of street in the world. Will he make it?

MAUDE MILLS SISTER OF FLORENCE MILLS accepted as an expert, what he thought of the future of the British theatrical profession. "It's a dark outlook," said he; and I didn't get his meaning until everyone around began laughing. I should mention, also, that there are rumors here of a wonderful black actor, said to have been developed among his own race in America, but never permitted there to play with a company, who endeavored with some chance of an British backdrop for his appearance in an obnitebale presentation of Othello. This man, whose name I have not learned, is said to have done extraordinary good work among his own people in some of the Southern American cities, and to be anxious to get away from them because in America many parts and sections which he is anxious to play are harred to him by race prejudice. AT PROTECTORY OVAL The Lincoln Giants, the local representatives of the newly-formed Eastern Colored League, are rounding into form by playing all the leading semi-pro teams at their home grounds, Protectory Oval, East Tremont avenue, near 180th street, and next Sunday they meet in a doubleheader two of the front rank white teams.

Brimful of humor from the start, with parts being played by men who have for years been the medium of drawing laughs from the most exuding audiences, we think that "How Come?" will be the season's surprise, as Eddie Hunter has injected a strain of humor throughout his book, which will do much in winning the praise of the metropolitan critics. We do not think it out of order to take this opportunity of praising Sam H. Grisman for the many hours put in in whipping into shape this show. Coming among the colored people practically unknown, he has shown a tendency to work for success without hitting through edges which marked the attempt of many. in his line when first they sought to bring before the public shows essayed by our people. Then, too, he has had the whole hearted attention of Jack Harris and Beverly Harris, gentlemen who are or will be responsible in large measure for this new success. Mr. Harris is one of the most prominent attorneys in New Jersey and owner of the Hill Theatre in Newark. This gentleman has also shown the high qualities that bring out the best in a company and we were not at all surprised when he was presented with a token of high esteem and respect when he entered, the ranks of the beneficts not very long ago, the entire company joining in this concrete way their appreciation for what he has and will continue to try to do.

TOPEKA, Kansas, Apr. 9.—The civil News Bureau.) What is con- sidered the most radical measure yet introduced in the Kansas legis- lature was recently introduced by Miss Minnie Grinstead of Liberal Kansas, in the house.

This bill is causing the Kansas motion p ture theatre owners considerable worry and strong opposition against this bill from this source is expected.

C.A., E. H. Wilson, Jr., Rev. C. P.

E. Clifchr, Roslyn, last week. The Committee on Findings recommended that "a similar Conference of a week's duration be held annually in some village or central location." Ministers representing twenty-two churches and fifteen towns were present. The keynote of the conference was cooperation among the various churches and also between the churches and the Y. M. C. A. At the first of the two sessions, the main topic under discussion was "How can we best increase the membership of our Long Island Churches." The consensus of opinion was that ways and means must be devised to make the churches attractive to the younger people, and make the church facilities available, social recreational units. In this connection there is recognized as one of the leaders of his race in America. After outlining briefly the present extent of Colored churches he discussed in a broad way, the place he believes his race should have in the life of the American nation. There are 5,000,000 people of 40,000 colored churches, served by 35,000 ministers. The value of their church property is $80,000,000. On Long Island there are about 30 colored churches in about 20 communities. Dr. Ransom expressed the belief that the real contribution of the Negro race to American life will be emotionalism, which is probably the most distinguishing characteristic of his people. He urged the throwing open of all the colored churches to the young people. He also urged the ministers to read and study, with the purpose of keeping in touch with new things. He also urged the negro preacher has, he said, a similar with the white people in his community, as well as those of his own race. He should take pains to help the whites, understand the colored people, their aspirations and their willingness to accept their modest A Genuine Cash-Dividend Security Is Offered Readers of the Ams dividend Paying Offered to the e Amsterdam News A Genuine Cash-Dividend Paying Security Is Offered to the Readers of the Amsterdam News ten years from now than to let the ten years slip by and till you as poor as you are now—and too on then to wear.

A. At the first of the two sessions, the main topic under discussion was "How can we best increase the membership of our Long Island Churches." The consensus of opinion was that ways and means must be devised to make the churches attractive to the younger people, and make the church facilities available, social recreational outlets. In this connection there was considerable discussion on the stand taken by some denominations, on the amusement question. Most of the ministers, however, felt that these bans should be lifted. It was felt that if a desirable place could be found, a picnic of all the colored people in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, should be arranged for this summer. A delicious chicken dinner was served by the Stewardess Board of Salem Church. At the afternoon session Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, D. D. Editor of the oldest and most influential colored magazine in the country the A. M. E. Church Review, made the principal address. Dr. Ransom This cannot be said of the usual run of issues offered for sale among the colored citizens. Seventeen quarterly dividends have already been paid—covering 41% years. Dividends are usually large—10% to 16% on par value. The Patten Typewriter Corp. with main store at 57 West 155th Street (near Lennox Avenue), have been doing a successful and thriving business for more than eight years, with a chain of five flourishing stores. About $5,000 per year clear profits. The main source of profits is the sale and rental of all makes of typewriters. The percentage of profit in this business is quite surprising compared to the amount of capital invested in machines. The annual issue ($250,000) has already been sold, but as many of the customers at the different stores are colored citizens, the balance of 15,000 shares are being offered to the readers of the Amsterdam News and their fellow citizens. In the profits which they are really helping to produce. Many men and women reached by the Amsterdam News will appreciate this courtesy on the part of the Patten Co. because the only system in the world to offer an invitation to purchase heretofore have been non-productive of any of the beautifully promised dividends. With the Patten Co. the shareholder of the Patten Co. the acquaintance three (3) dividends each quarter. One dividend in cash and two in added value to the stock. It calls for about $5.00 more per block of twenty shares after each quarterly dividend. (Clients who pay cash or purchase shares in on the June 1st dividend). To give you some idea of the possibilities of the growth in value of these shares, we will compare with many of the other chain store systems. People who invested $100 in the original stock of the United Cigar Stores, Liggitt's Drug Stores, Child's Restaurant, Pacific & Atlantic Tea Co. Woolworth's Stores and other systems are drawing $200,000 in dividends. These shares are now worth in the neighborhood of $400,000. The Patten Company does not promise to grow this large, but it does expect to reach a total of 250 stores, which will mean at least a comfortable living every week and month of the year, in the stockholders and their families. Better that you have this in store for you. THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Grand Opening Week of Lafayette Pharmacy 2219 SEVENTH AVENUE (Near 131st St.), N.Y.C.

Berry presided and many matters of importance to the office and it's relation to the community were considered. It is the desire of the Committee to make itself a real community asset. share in the life of the community. In an address given in the evening, Dr. Ransom made an eloquent plea for the development of ideals among his people, not so called "Colored ideals" but American ideals. He told of the big movement of colored people into the North from the South, which is assuming large proportions. Tens of thousands have come and are constantly coming into the Northern States. He expressed the belief that these colored people will be come integral parts of the communities to which they go, and take up new positions without creating, here in the North, what is recorded in the Southern States as "The Negro Problem." A. Stuart Reed, Vocational Secretary of The Young Men's Christian Association of Nassau and Suffolk Counties, described the program which his Association is making available to the boyhood of Long Island, and explained how the delegates might take advantage of the program for the boys in their churches. E. II. Wilson, Jr. told about the work of the Lincoln Settlement House, Glen Cote, of which he is the Director. Rev. R. Harvey of Hempstead, for discussion on the subject of housing conditions, which brought out general agreement on the proposition that the ministers should urge their people to own their own homes, where possible. Chas Mellen and Fred M. Hill President and General Secretary of the Nassau-Suffolk Y. M. C. A. told of their belief in the importance of the work which the Association has undertaken among the colored people, and assured the delegates that the organization would do everything possible to assist the ministers in their work, as it has been doing for the past two years. A. G. Fallings, the Association's Secretary for Work with Colored people, acted as Chairman of both side. Rev. C. P. Cole, District Sessions. Other members on the program were as follows: Devotional Exercises—Rev. C. P. Cole, District Superintendent M. A. E. Church, Long Island district; Addresses of Welcome, Reverends James N.

A Week's Celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Presbyterianism in New York City will be held at Rendall Memorial Presbyterian Church, 122 West 129th street, N. Y. City. The celebration will consist of a unique Continental Bazaar in the spacious lecture room of the church, and a literary entertainment in the main auditorium.

The Beauty Shop, formerly at 2303 Seventh Avenue, will be located at 2303 Seventh Avenue. George has associated herself with the beauty chemist, who for years, not only enjoyed her own laboratory, but also had the benefit of the association of several well known chemists and scientists, all of whom have specialized in the manufacturing of many prominent toilet preparations, and whose accolades she enlisted. With knowledge and experience she has evolved formulas of great efficacy and some excellent theories about the care of the skim'. Mrs. George will offer all these wonderful preparations which should be on every lady's dressing table. The La Vanda Toilet Preparations as they are known have made a deep impression upon many of toilet preparations because they are the arrest of their kind in existence. Instead of being discovered in the land of flowers, nature has changed this once elusive phantom into a joyous reality, conveying it to your very door in fields of waving grain and gardens of rich vegetation. However, a knowledge and skill for surpassing, that which lurks behind the screen of the proverbal "Beauty Doctor", has been ac Admission, single ticket, 15 cents; season ticket, 50 cents.

La Vanda products keep their promise being closely allied in composition to the natural secretions of the human skin and its underlying structure. These remedies 'fresh from nature's garden' will keep the muscles and tissues well nourished, the skin will reflect health and beauty. No woman can present that exquisitely groomed appearance with the use of a normal intelligent beauty treatment. For the benefit of the growing request to reopen this establishment, Mrs. George has been searching for more than a year for her many and discerning clientele, who she knew would appreciate these marvelous discoveries for the skin. She will be ready to treat her own Beauty Treatment along with the hair dress that has already made her well-known. Howard Drive Is Sweeping Harlem Rochefeller Foundation to Give $250,000 if Colored People Raise Same Amount When the American Medical Association informed Howard University that in order for their medical school to remain in class "A" she must have an endowment fund of $500,000 pledged by July 1, 1923, payable by July 1, 1926, administrative officers, students and alumni were aghast at the stupendous proposition placed before them. A gloomy future without one ray of hope for the medical school cast a shadow of despondency over all. At this juncture the Rockefeller Foundation came forward with the generous offer of $250,000, or one half of this amount, to the Howard Medical School, if the colored people would raise the other half of the total amount. Students, alumni, faculty and friends, spurred on by the gravity of the situation and urged on by the Howard spirit, threw themselves into the campaign which is today at its height with the result that while a few months yet remain, more than 60 per cent of the colored people's quota has been paid and plodged. The Howard Alumni Association of New York, headed by Dr. Peter M. Murray, plans to conclude its efforts in the campaign this month. The issue confronting the Howard Medical School is to be interpreted in larger terms than that of merely affecting Howard University. It is a problem of the race at large.

C., April 9.—Revival of the slave traffic in Africa, on which subject the League of Nations has promised to act at the next session in September, is causing considerable concern among the leading powers of Europe it was learned less at Friday. According to information received here thousands of human beings are being marketed in Abysinia and the French government has discovered that monthly shipments of slaves are passing through ports in French possessions. It is said the local sultain receives $1 a head on all slaves shipped to Arabia. Further south on the east coast of Africa the French local authorities are trying to prevent the passage countries of slaves between the Island of Madagascar and the mainland. It is further stated that more than 300 slaves have been carried across in the last two months. It is claimed that British authorities are endeavoring to deal with the situation in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf, and are meeting with a small degree of success. British vessels have recently been shelling villages along the coast in a campaign against slave-running. A convoy of slaves was recently captured in French territory and be allowed to have come from Abysina. It is understood that a large number of these slaves are obtained from Persia and Baluchistan. 21ST ASSEMBLY DIST.

During my six weeks touring the South's industrial bolt, studying the junest among the plantation laborers, and the causes leading to the vast migration northward, I see the handwriting on the walls of the South's industries pointing toward a condition that threatens the South's greatest assets—its industrial labor. The main reason for the migration, is that little protection its given Negroes under the Laws which they live. Their civil rights and liberties are just as safe in the South as their lives are in the jungles of wild beasts in the forest of Africa. The South cannot cooperate out Negro labor and without Negro prospering—and that prosperity can only be secured and maintained by rigid law enforcement, regardless of class or caste, through the constituted authorities. Owing to climatic conditions under which the Negroes were born, they will not only thrive better in the South, but will prosper more, providing, they are permitted to live away from intimidation. The Negroes of today are changing and growing, inventing and developing. Obviously, he is becoming a potential factor. As an American citizen he is liberally giving his aid toward shaping the nation's destiny. Our government cannot stand for Democracy, or as an example for other nations, soaring successfully, soaring in the series, if just laws of our Nation are permitted to drown in a reservoir of mob violence by a group of half civilized human brutes, crushing the weak and poor with meanness, tyranny and cruelty. The black race of the American nation has shown the white race more patience than the white race have shown the black race. The ruling heads of the government who accept the benefits of the government and evade its obligations become traitors to its sovereignty. If God be the Father of all, Human Rights and Justice is the Mother of all. It is essential that men of great minds in the South, white and black, co-operate and establish a fair and impartial policy that will stem the tide if migration of the colored laborer, and remedy the existing conditions. The concern of the South should be concerned. Now the war as it affords national question the imperiling of the nation's industries. It should be imperative that the North and South, through a commission, meet in joint session for creating a policy safeguarding the labor question of the South.

Man of 60 Regains Vigor He Had at 35 New Orleans Resident Tells of Wonderful Result Produced by a Recent Scientific Discovery. D. W. Wood, 60, of New Orleans, La., deceives he has virtually been made young again by the recently discovered korex compound, which is promoted as an invigorator and tonizer. "It has brought me back to as good, healthy physical condition as I enjoyed at 35," he writes. "I am apparently as supplies at 25." Mr. Wood says he would not take $5,000 for what the compound has done for him. The compound is a simple home treatment in tablet form, absolutely harmless, yet the most powerful invigorator known. Acting directly on spinal nerve endings on certain vessels, it often provides amazing benefits in 24 to 36 hours. In nationwide tests, it has won the praises of thousands who suffered from nerve weakness, premature age and lack of vital force. Physicians say it gives speedy satisfaction in cases of other treatments. Elderly people pronounce it a real "bounty of youth." Knowing that this news may seem "too good to be true," the distributors invite any person needing the compound to take a $2 double-strength treatment, enough for ordinary cases, with the understanding that it costs nothing if it is needed invigorator, write in strict confidence to the Melton Laboratories, 3120 Massachusetts Bldg, Kansas City, Mo.

If you request compound has not given you satisfaction, the laboratories will return your money immediately. This offer is fully guaranteed, so nobody need hesitate about accepting it.

APRIL 11. 1923 Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much oil alkali. This dries the scuff, makes the hair brittle, and rinses the oil. 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 in a cup or glass with water or oil, and then cleanse the hair and scald thoroughly. Simplify, moisten the hair with water and rub the Mulsified in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, when rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scaly hair the soft the silky, bright, moist, duffy and easy to manage. You can get Musselified coconut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it is very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. Be sure your drugstreet gives you Musselified.

Saturday evening, April 7, 2023 a surprise benefit was given for Mrs. Lena Williams, of 16 Cornalia street, this city, who has been con- tained to her bed for 14 weeks by Mrs. Sarah Scherman, Mrs. Adie Scott, Mrs. Bentrice Brown, Mrs. Ruth Gumby, Mrs. Anna Walker and friends both far and near. The surprise was so unexpected and significant that it brought tears of gladness to her eyes and she is already wearing. The nature of the surprise is a bun- dance of choice fruit, a large bunch of most beautiful and fragrant flowers and a purse of $100. Thus it was with profound gratitude that Mrs. Lena Williams acknowledges this most kind and generous act of kindness. Her mother, Mrs. M. E. Upshure, also feels grateful and offered God's blessings upon each and every one who so nobly showed their sympathy to her daughter. She said that such acts of kindnesses are never lost, but like bread cast upon the water, always returns.

The Howard University Players repeated, "The Death Dance" Saturday evening, April 7, at the Dongzhou Theatre, Pennsylvania avenue, Baltimore, Md., under the auspice of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. The performance was for the benefit of the Scholarship Fund, of the sorority which is the student at the Howard University and also for the benefit of the Building Fund of the Howard Players. "The Pagoda Slave" was also produced in Baltimore along with "The Death Dance." The former was written by Charles Keller, and its setting is in Burma, a province in India. Not only is the play it features a monastic romance of a Buddhist monastery but the special Burmese dances arranged by Gertrude Curtis and lead by Margaret Lawrence, featured the performance. Special Oriental scenery and costumes were designed and made for the plays by the Players in their workshop. "The Death Dance," an original one-act play of African life written by Thiam Dumie, a student in the junior class, and successfully presented in Washington was repeated in Baltimore. On Saturday, April 14, "The Pagoda Slave" will be given its initial performance in Washington in the University Chapel at 8 o'clock. Accompanying this drama will be a performance in the form of a play by Samuel Pinski, entitled "Forgotten Souls." The Yiddish Theatre is playing an important-part in the dramatic development, both in America and in the old world. This will be the first opportunity for the patrons of the Players to witness the work of the best known of the Yiddish playwrights.

Hick Bartley of Morehouse was wild walking eight men, but pulled out of many holes, by pitching well in pinches. The Tigers beat the Caddis and fielding of William Caddis Johnson. The weather was very cold and caused many errors to be made. Score.

LIKE THE INFAMGUS KU KLUX KLAN, the Florida peonage system now has the light of truth turned upon it. And all because Martin Talbert, a North Dakota white farmer, was lashed to death while serving as a convict in a lumber camp. THE ESSENTIAL facts in this tragedy are admitted. Talbert, the twenty-two-year-old son of a well-to-do farmer, decided a few months ago to leave home and see the world. In Florida his funds were exhausted, and he attempted to ride on a railroad without a ticket. He was arrested and fined $25 or given the alternative of ninety days' imprisonment. His family sent money to pay his fine and more to bring him home. The boy meant time had been sent to the camp of the Putnam Lumber Company. The money was returned to the family "by the request of the sheriff" and the machinery of peonage clamped down upon the wanderer. He became ill of malaria and was beaten when he faltered at his work. The testimony of his fellow-prizewors concerning the whippings imposed, the sick boy lying face down in the mud, a guard standing with his foot upon the boy's neck while he applied a lash weighing seven and a half pounds, and of his death, composes a picture too terrible to contemplate. BUT why should this incident of the peacenage system, which exists in several of the southern states, so startle the public. Simply because the Talbert boy comes from a "well-to-do" family and because he is white. AND now in its anxiety to make a favorable impression, the Senate and House of the State of Florida, are conducting an investigation. For what? They know the conditions obtaining in such camps without investigation. So do the officials of all of the states in the south that permit murder factories know of this "murder within the law," which has claimed the life of many a black man, and which up to the present time remains unchecked. Chicago "Second Ward" Goes Democratic CAUSE of an ominous rift, in the po- sies in Chicago, the black vote of the city sh- t in a body, from the Republican to the column, in the election for Mayor April the far famed "Second Ward" regard pregnable Republican (Thompson) strong oters, 85 per cent of them Negroes, lain- ly more than 2 to 1 for the Democratic DGE DEVER, the new Democratic Mayor BECAUSE of an ominous rift, in the political clouds in Chicago, the black vote of the city shifted, almost in a body, from the Republican to the Democratic column, in the election for Mayor April 3. IN, the far famed "Second Ward" regarded as an impregnable Republican (Thompson) stronghold, the voters, 85 per cent of them Negroes, lined up slightly more than 2 to 1 for the Democratic candidate. JUDGE DEVER, the new Democratic Mayor-elect, received 8,269 as against 3,714 for his Republican opponent. This defection in the ranks of the black voters is due to their antipathy to the Chicago Tribune, the alleged sponsor of Arburt Lueder, the Republican nominee. In addition to this the black voters nursed a grievance against Lueder for his alleged unfairness to colored post office employees during his administration as postmaster. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, however, avered that the Negro vote went so overwhelmingly to Dever because Ed Wright, the Tompson leader of the Second Ward "was not explicit in his instructions to the voters." ADD TO ALL THESE the loyalty of Chicago Negroes to "Big Bill Thompson," their desire to "punish his enemies," their revolt against vice conditions in the ward, the insurgency of the Chicago Whip, an independent Negro paper there and the influence of Oscar DePriest among the black voters of the Third Word and the prime causes for the presence of black voters in the Democratic column may be seen. WHATEVER else may be said of this phenomenon, the South side people were wise enough to turn the two Negro Republican aldermen to the City Council, who, by the way are the only Thompson hemench that weathered the storm. They also have a needed rebake to the Republicans. PARIS is to be hoped that when the new "political war" gets into action in the City Hall and the County Building that the Negro leaders will be able to save even more than a "corporal's guard" of the host of black folk now in those Departments. IN THE EVENT that Lueder is re-appointed to the postmastership we hope that he will not revenge himself upon black post office workers because of the stinging rebuke that the voters gave him at the polls. ALREADY Chas. E. Merriam, a Negro-hating Hyde Park Democrat, has been mentioned for the presidency of the school board. If this becomes a fact it will probably become an ill-omen for the advancement of Negroes in school affairs, especially in administrative capacities. WHATEVER of recognition was not given them under Thompson, is hardly to be expected under the new order of things. Already the Chicago Daily News in a recent editorial warns Mayor-elect Dover that he is under no obligation to give recognition to any "race" or "political faction" because of the support that such "race" or "political faction" may have given him at the polls. ON SEVERAL occasions Mr. Merrism "has run" for Mayor of Chicago and each time he failed to make even a dent in the black vote. Besides this his attitude toward Negroes is well attested in his book, "The Negro and the Nation" which every Chicago Negro should read. SHY of adequate school facilities and administrative recognition in school affairs, of sanitary public bathing facilities, of a centrally located public library, the Negro in Chicago has something of a struggle on his hands especially in view of the warning of the Dally News and with the Hyde Park and Kenwood crowds in control.

The history of the Woodmen revolved about him for the last fifteen years. He took it when it was an infant, was its sole agent and office hand, executive and legislator, and through the severe tests of actual business brought it up to where it is a going concern. He has done more than make a business success. He has demonstrated the possibilities of a race. It happens that he was personally well known to the editor. Therefore we can interpret the spirit of his effort better. For years he recognized the drain which the most travelled made upon him, but was willing to pay the price if only he could build the Woodmen. That's the thing that counts. Success is not an accident. It is the most pledged of human possessions and no maybe-no man can attain it. Dead, is a lamp to guide the feet of struggling race to real achievement.

The story of the system of farming out county prisoners in Florida does not make pretty reading. It is the old, old story of sentences for such trivial offenses as stealing rides on freight trains being worked off by forced labor under contractors who buy convict labor cheap and maintain discipline by whipping, sometimes with six or seven pound straps. The men are herded in camps reeking with fith and disease, are sometimes forced to work for hours hip deep in swamps, and have virtually no medical care. The sheriff receives a cash bonus for each man he is able to send the contractor. This is slavery; but Florida is not the only Southern State where such conditions persist. The death of Martin Tabart, a North Dakota boy, and the formal protest of his State legislature to that Florida has caught the country's attention—chiefly because he is a white boy. Black men have gone to unrecorded death in these chain-gangs year after year. Joseph Josephoveit's time there was shocking revelations of his lower South and an attempt at remedy. But the evil has lived on. Two years ago, when John Williams horribly murdered eleven Negroes on his Georgia plantation through fear of a Federal investigation, there came a new outburst of protest. Now if Governor Hardee and the Florida legislature fails to end this barbarism in Florida they should be faced by sustained, nation-wide indignation. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Better Postal Facilities. To the Editor of the Amsterdam News. Sir: I have long waited for just such an editorial from the colored press of Harlem as "Better Faithful" appearing in your issue of this m i should you continue your unite until better postal facilities we become In the first place, the nearest post office neighborhood, is the College Station, which thready out of the way; the next nearest is at 125th street, between Eight and St. Nichol nues; the third nearest, being at 126th stre I have long waited for just such an editorial article from the colored press of Harlem as "Better Postal Facilities." appearing in your issue of this morning. I sincerely hope that you will continue your agitation until better postal facilities have become a fact. In the first place, the nearest post office to the neighborhood, is the College Station, which is entirely out of the way; the next nearest is located at 125th street, between Eight and St. Nicholas avenues; the third nearest, being at 126th street and Lexington avenue. Years ago when there were not half as many people in Harlem as we now have, Harlem was dotted with "Sub-stations," and now there are nearly 200,000 of us here, there is not one sub-station anywhere in our neighborhood. Is it because the majority now inhabiting Harlem are colored, as compared with the majority of whites who inhabited the same area in years past? Business and professional men having to deal with the College Station and it very inconvenient, and equally annoying, having to wait in a long line for from ten minutes to nearly an hour before his turn comes. This is the daily rule at all windows—money order, postal savings, registration, stamps, parcel post and inquiry windows; and when the clerks are not very busy they would keep you waiting while they laugh and talk with each other. I have business with the post office weekly and am at the College Station several times a week, hence I am talking from experience backed by almost all contact with said station. I believe that can have contact with station in our neighborhood if the leading men of Harlem would got together and demand same. (Rev.) E. A. ABGOTT. April 4, 1922 "Blood-Money" HEY, JOHN. Here's your letter," shouted the postman, jovially, as he stopped his horse, dismounted from the wagon, and advanced toward the vine-covered fence surrounding a little cabin in the small town of Salem, Ga. John Walton was intently hoeing his corn and had not heard the rumble of the approaching wheels. At the words, "Your letter," he started, his heart beating violently. He had been expecting a certain letter every day for the last six weeks—a letter on which his very destiny seemed to hang. Now the postman's accent on the "your" told him that this letter had come at last. Dropping his hoe he advanced to meet the mailman. Taking the missive, his hands trembling with excitement, he feverishly scanned the return address. Yes, it was the letter! "Sh-h. Don't don't tell anybody," she said cautiously. "They might——" She suddenly remembered the post With the long expected bit of mail in his hands at last John Walton stood hypnotized with doubt. Would the simple words within announce that he had won his seven years of gruelling, up-hill fight, did they signify that he was going to take the first step toward his life's fondest dream? Or did they mean that he was going to remain in the dull, flat, soul-benumbing environment of this sleepy, dusty village until God knows when? He dreaded to take the plunge that would decide his after once for all. "What's the matter, John? Scared to open your mail?" chaffed the postman, noticing his agitation. The postman knew everyone's affaire intimately, and was himself eager to know what the letter contained. The remark woke John Walton from his reverie. He rapidly tore the envelope apart unfolded the sheet within and began to scan it nervously. A look of doubt clouded his strong, manly features, but as he read on he uttered a loud yell, waved the sheet of paper high in the air and did a war dance to the detriment of several roots of corn. "I've won! I've won! Ma!" he shouted jubilantly. He started wildly to run indoors. The postman grabbed at his sleeve and held him back. "Let me see it," he said. John thrust the letter into his hands. An elderly woman in a loose cotton gown emerged from the low doorway, followed by an old man (oddling with the aid of a stick. John ran to meet the woman shouting, "I've got it. ma! I've got it." He grasped her about the shoulders, kissing kissing her impetuously. "That ain't no news to me," she replied dryly, hiding her emotion as best she could. "Didn't I tell you so all along?" The old man had taken the letter from the postman and was looking at it, pretending to understand what it was all about. "She is a clevah boy. Sho' is clevah," he said with deep satisfaction. A group of ragged children crowded around. John took the letter from his grandfather and read aloud. Dale University Nortonville, Conn. Mr. John B. Walton. With reference to the Arnold Scholarship for which you competed August 5th of this year, we take great pleasure in informing you that you are the winner. Under its terms you are entitled to free tuition at this University for three years and the sum of $300 annually. The Autumn Sessions begins October 4th. May we hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience. Yours sincerely. A shout of joy went up from the little audience. The old man placed his hand on John's head and made an oration praising him as a great hero. Tears of joy came into his eyes. This grandson of his he felt was going to be all that he had logged to be all that he had had never had the chance. Mrs. Walton was happy, happy. But suddenly a grave look swept over her face. How would certain of her white neighbors take the story of her boy's success? With, a mother's ever watchful eye for possible harm to her offspring, she instinctively sensed trouble ahead. There were the two Parkers, for instance, bullies of the town, who were always teasing her son about his studious habits. Vividly there flashied through her mind the terrible fate that had overtaken her husband in a neighboring county many years ago because of his industrious habits. Silence about her boy's success she hurriedly decided was the dest course. By J. A.

John dashed through the gate and hurried up the dusty jane as fast as his legs could take him. On rounding the corner he saw the postman talking excitedly with Dick Stewart, an elderly white farmer and father of the two neer-do-wells, the objects of Mrs. Walton's fear. He was telling Parker about the scholarship. "Good afternoon, Mr. Parker," said John, approaching. "Howdy, John. I guess yo' allwill be goin' Noth to be a professah, a doctah or somehin'," sneered Stewart, by way of congratulation. "Say, Bill!" said John when Parker had gone inside to give the news. "I forgot to ask you not to tell anyone. You know how it is." "And I spilled the beans!" said the other regretfully. "I won't tell another soul." John started thoughtfully back. Suddenly he heard something whiz by his ear and strike the earth with a dull thud, raising a little cloud of dust at his feet. It was a large stone! Ducking his head he looked hurriedly back but saw no one. "Jim Stewart, I bot," he said indignantly. The postman's promise to keep silent was of no avail. The mischief had already been done. In this little town, as in similar communities, the least bit of news or gossip is as much an event as a letter to a man in prison. Everyone talks about everyone else's private affairs. Before the day was over John Walton's success was on the lips of everyone in Salem. John Breckenridge Walton was the only living son of Lucy Walton. It was well-known at least no one ever denied it—that he was the son of Philip Breckenridge, senior wealthiest man in the county, local banker and justice of the peace. Two years ago the banker had called John to his office and offered to help him, but when the latter declared that his greatest desire was to enter college and become a doctor, the frate old man had driven him away. "Come and see me when you make up your mind to quit fooling with books," he had said. Twenty-four years before Lucy Walton's husband had met a terrible fate, as was said Walton had been a thriving prosperous farmer—a "big-buggy nigger", as most of the white folks called him. The incident that lead to Walton's death was trivial. One day on entering a local store in the county in which he lived, he hitched his horse to the common hitching post as usual. Hearing a commotion he ran out to learn that his horse and that of a rival white farmer had been fighting. The white farmer placed the blame on Walton and began to abuse him. The latter apologized and started to walk to his horse. "Is that the way you talk to a white man," said the farmer angrily. "Damm it, take off your hat." Walton took no notice of him. The angry man rushed after him, and wheeled him around. In the scuffle that ensued the white man had gotten the worst of it and Walton was marched off to prison. That night the mob broke into the jail, took him out and burned him alive, but not before. Walton had beaten out brains of two of the mob with a bar wreached from the window of the fall. Lucy Walton was given twenty-four hours to get out of the county and had returned to live with her father, Peter Breckinridge, a former slave on the Breckinridge estate. John Walton thirsted for knowledge. He had 'absorbed all the meagre education given to the Negro children in Salem by a teacher who was herself not a few grades from the illiterate. One day he saw an advertisement of a correpon- CHAPTER II dence school in a magazine offering to prepare anyone who know how to read for a college course. He had saved the five dollars a month necessary by working overtime and for the next three years devoted himself diligently to the lessons that had been sent. At last he had been given a diploma. Enclosed was a list of scholarships for which he could compete. Selecting the Arnold Scholarship he spent another year of patient preparation, and then had gone to Atlanta, fifty-two miles away, to take the examination. CHAPTER III John decided to leave within the next four days. He thought it best to say nothing to his employer. The annual fund from the scholarship, he decided would go to the support of his mother and grandfather. As for himself he would trust to luck to get work out of school hours. Not a word had been said to outsiders about the departure. When asked about it John would reply: "Oh, not for some time yet." The day came. The nearest station was Easton, eleven miles away. A train left at five in the morning. To allay his mother's fear he decided to take that. He would leave Salem around midnight. In some mysterious way the news of the approaching departure leaked out, and a few intimate friends stole in to say good-bye. As all sat around enjoying a farewell supper there came a violent, abrupt knock on the door as if a stone had been thrown against it. At the same time there was a strange call. The little company jumped to its feet. John grabbed his shotgun and waited. "It is those Parker boys, I bet," said Mrs. Walton. After waiting in talt expectation for ten minutes all sat down again. A knock at the door. John, shotgun in hand, went towards it and opened it as he heard a familiar voice. "Look what I found sticking on your door," said the newcomer, handing him a bit on paper. Going to the light John cast his eyes over it. A determined look came into his face. "They aren't going to scare me," he said. "What's it? What's it?" erteed the company in alarm. "Oh, nothing. They're trying to bluff me, but they can't." After some persuasion John read the note: "John Walton, we hear that yore leaving town to go north and associate with white folks. You had better stay right here with your own race and not seek social equality with white folks who don't want you. We give you fair warning. Stay in your place." K. K. K. "John: John! You mustn't go." pleaded his mother, as she recalled her husband's fate in it's full horror. "I'm going. Ma, whatever it costs. I'm an American citizen and no bunch of cowardly white folks can rob me of my right to leave." Following the earnest enentreaties of his mother and his mother and his friends he finally promised to postpone his going. Two nights later, kissing his mother goodbye, he stole out with a heavy but expectant heart. Firmly grasped in his hand was a borrowed reviver. It was quite dark, save for the stars, the town was asleep. No sign of anyone anywhere. He reached the outskirts of the town; still no one. They were only trying to bluff him after all, he laughed grimly to himself. How glad he was that he had not permitted himself to be frightened! He entered a pine forest. It was so dark he had almost to feel his war. Suddenly amid the smell of the pine and the odors of the night he thought he detected the odor of a pipe. Immediately by some strange subtle feeling it struck him that he was being followed. He slipped behind a tree and waited. Only the noises of insects, the toads and the bats! With lightened heart he picked up his bag again and stepped out into the road. He walked on for a few hundred yards. Again the odor of tobacco! There was no doubt about it this time. Where did it come from? Ah. It might be from his own suitcase—his nose to make sure when a flash-light struck him full in the eye. Half-blinded he saw several figures and heard a muffled voice that he easily recognized as Jim Stewart's son. "Nigger, we warned you not to leave this town. Now were goin' to give you the hindin of your life." blazed for a moment by the suddenness, John quickly re- The intoxication of Jazz FROM time immemorial, that has an effect upon the brain can stimulate.

In these takes the place of whiskey, wine FROM time immemorial, the fact has been known that music has an effect upon the brain. Music can soothe and music can stimulate. Music has made you cry, and music has made you laugh. In the same way music can bring you into a reflective mood, in which the mind ponders, thinks and reasons. By the same process music may overstimulate, confuse and finally paralyze the thinking and reasoning center of the brain, and leave you intoxicated and drugged. This latter effect is the predominating result of jazz music. In these days of prohibition, it frequently takes the place of whiskey, wine and beer. The Brain can be affected through stimulation from the intermetabolism of the body. Such a result is noted after eating or drinking. The impression reaches the brain by absorption of the chemical and physiological products from the stomach and the intestines, and these getting into the circulating blood stimulates the brain as it passes through its delicate cells. Such a result occurs after drinking—whiskey or other alcoholic liquors. Reasonable stimulation to the brain producing thoughts and imaginations which overpower the will Reason and reflection are lost, and the actions of the person are directed by the stronger animal passions. In other words, jazz music intoxicates; it affects the brain through the sense of hearing, giving the same results as whiskey or other alcoholic drinks taken into the sy The Brain can also be affected by impressions and stimulations reaching it through the sense of touch and sight; the sense of smelling and the sense of hearing; many persons have fainted, and some have died suddenly by seeing a serious accident. Many a person has become vivacious, courageous, mentally and sexually stimulated by the odor of delicate perfume from the handkerchief of some aid far. Branding music of a quick and stimulating tempo is played to urge the soldiers as they march to war; sacraments of the church are accompanied by soft, sweet, plaintive or solemn music to aid the worshippers to spiritual thoughts. All through life, impressions and stimulations are given to the brain through the medium of the senses. Thus the quick and staccato tempo of jazz music, with the plaintive and pleading notes of the violin and clarinet; the screeching of the horns; the moaning of the trombone; the calling and imploring tones of the saxophone; the rhythmic beating of the drums; all these send a continuous whirl of impress.

Moton, Principal of the Institute, proclaimed as one of the most appropriate commemorative exercises of the birth of Dr. Booker T. Washington and Industrial Institute, since his passing in 1915. The exercises, which were held in the Institute Chapel, were devoid of glamour, but were rife with enthusiasm and inspiration. The simplicity which characterized the services was in keeping with the life of the to whom tribute was being paid in word and actions.

Campbell, President of the Macon County Bank, Tuskegee, Ala., who is Vice-Chairman of the Board, presided. Among the important matters recommended by Dr. Moton and approved by the Board was the addition of a two year training course for teachers which becomes effective with the opening of school in September, 1923; an appropriation necessary to increase the dairy herd and the authorization of the principal and the treasurer with Judge C. E. Thomas of Prattville, Ala., to sell the timber on the 25,000 acre tract of land belonging to the Institute in the western part of the state. To all two vacancies on the Board.

Reason and reflection are lost, and the actions of the person are directed by the stronger animal passions. In other words, jazz music intoxicates; it affects the brain through the sense of hearing, giving the same results as whiskey or other alcoholic drinks taken into the system by way of the stomach. It has the same effect as a drug and one may become addicted to its use. The more you hear it the more you desire its stimulation. In the social life of the people today jazz music is king, and jazz music will reign until a spiritual awakening and reformation sweeps like a whirlwind over the land. History repeats itself. The social and economic aspects of the world and nations always swing like the pendulum of a clock. Today, the intoxicating music of jazz is supreme in the social life of the people. Tomorrow, a war, a financial panic or some devastating catastrophe may occur, and thus produce a sobering aspect on the minds of the people. Then the pendulum swings to more spiritual and lofty desires. The human brain always reacts to the strongest impressions received. To overcome the effect of jazz music, one has to have knowledge of its harmful results, and the ability to soberly obey the rules of life's experience. To the young and inexperienced jazz music is dangerous. ates Founder's Day A., April 9 — "Tuskegee Institute Is a: it embodies a statesman-like idea set toward a satisfactory solution Dr. Samuel C.
