Harmony Diners to OustGeorge Harris
Committeemen Vote 26 to 2 Against Alderman and J. C. Hawkins.
Declaring that decisive steps must be taken if the Negro voters of the 21st Assembly District are to be won back into the Republican fold, 26 out of 28 colored committees of that district have voted to bolt the leadership of Alderman George W. Harris and former Assemblian John C. Hawkins, and to select instead Dr. H. O. Harding as Alderman and Charles W. B. Mitchell as leader. The occasion was a harmony dinner given at the Argonne Dining Room, 2116 Fifth Avenue, last Monday night, at which over forty persons were present. Herman W. Grant, chairman, gave the keynote speech of the evening when he declared that the time bad come for some radical measures to be taken. "When Negroes from Mississippi and Georgia come North from places where they aren't even permitted to look at the ballot-box, and vote the Democratic ticket, then it is high time that something be done." The Republican party, he said, has always offered the best opportunities to Negroes, but Negro voters are being driven away by bad leadership into the
Democratic party.
Mrs. Julia Wilson read a resolution in which she declared that, in view of the inroads made by the Democratic party, she deemed it necessary that strenuous effort should be made to return the district to the columns of the Republican party. The only way to infuse new confidence, she said, was to appoint new leaders—leaders who were not hand-picked. She then offered the names of Dr. Harding and Mr. Mitchell.
Speeches were made by H. J. Travis, Pope C. Billups, H. C. Burton and others, to the effect that the time had come for the Negroes to select their own leaders, and offer them to the white Republican leaders, instead of having the white men pick those leaders and then offer them to the Negroes. Mr. Billups voted against the resolution, while Mr. Hawkins refused to vote, saying that he did not think it the proper time.
Among others present were Col. Chas, Fillmore, Messrs. W. A. Corbelius, J. C. Andrews, Thos. C. Tabb, Dennis McPherson, Mimes. S. F. Wright, Annie A. Lee, Fannie Hatcher, Cordella Zone and E. Washington.
Miss Babe Jackson sang and danced splendidly, and drew much applause, with Miss Ruth White at the piano.
Alderman Harris
Repliesto O'Hanlon
Will Continue His Fight to Break Up Discrimination in Harlem Hospital.
Alderman George W. Harris takes issue with the statement of Dr. George F. O'Hanlon, general medical superintendent of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, conducted by the city, to the effect that there is no race discrimination in the selection of physicians and nurses in Harlem Hospital.
The Republican Alderman insists that Jim-Crow methods are in vogue and that he will continue his tait to break them up.
"The fact that colored nurses have been admitted to separate classes," says Mr. Harris, "at Harlem Hospital, where the hospital standards are uniform with those throughout the city, refutes the genial doctor's denial of discrimination in itself. It proves that colored nurses have been denied admission elsewhere, not because of their unfitness, but because of their color."
Alderman Harris says that he is going to have the whole matter invar-

Negro Detectives Lead in Club Raid
After two colored detectives, having witnessed the entire performance of nude white women, had fired three shots as a signal, the dance hall of the 20th Assembly District, Regular Republican Club. No. 62 Woodbine street, was raided. The shots were quickly followed by twenty patrol wagons and police reserves were necessary to keep the street crowd back. Soon the rumble of the patrol wagons was heard again as the 323 were taken to the Gates Avenue Court for arraignment. Outside the court were lines of automobiles, occupants of which the prisoners seemed to dread more than facing the magistrate. Just after the four women had furnished ball, two Hudson County, N. J. detectives announced three of them were under indictment for a similar performance in Gutenberg, N. J. April 6.
These women, who were held without ball as fugitives, gave these names: Peggy Robinson, 21, of 120 Hoyt street, Brooklyn; Elizabeth Brown, 29, of 200 Putnam avenue. Brooklyn; Mary Hall, 30, 98 Himrod street, Brooklyn. The fourth woman performer, Ruth Borden, 28, 210 West 60th street, was admitted to ball.

Opposition Against Lark's School
Opposition Against Lark's School
Bombshell Thrown Into Sumner Lark's Plan To Increase Value of His Property.
Opposition to a bill introduced in the New York Senate to establish an Agricultural and Mechanical Institute at Larksville, was voiced at a mass meeting held in the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Sunday. The bill is being fostered by Summer S. Lark, a Negro Democrat, and an assistant district attorney of Kings County.
Lark has offered to donate at least 50 acres of some land he owns in Putnam County for the "Jim-Crow institution.
The proposed school is to be controlled by a board composed of 11 trustees, including the director of the State Agricultural School, at Cornell University, and the State Commissioner of Agriculture.
"Summer H. Lark, A. B., LL. B. of Brooklyn, N. Y., shall be president of the board," runs the bill, and Thomas L. Higgins, Alexander C. Thompson, George Shipman Stark, J. W. Oscar Garrett, Edward E. Best, M. D. A. A. Kellogg, D. John D. Gordon and Will M. Duggin, who are the proposed members. Dr. Kollig and Mr. Huggins staged some time ago that they had not been consulted by Mr. Lark as to the use of their names.
Some of the speakers at the mass meeting, last Sunday night, were: Rev. Dr. R. Lawton, president of the Empire State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs; George E. Whecman, former grand exalted ruler of the colored Elks and Rev. Tyler, of Bridge Street A. M. E. Church.
Rev T. S. Harton presided.
Lured to Resort; Kept Six Weeks
Woman Forced to Live Underworld Life;Nine Arrested.
CHICAGO, April 16—Miss Ruth Miller, 28, white, of Baltimore, Md., who came here six weeks ago to seek a job, claims that she was lured to an apartment and held a prisoner for six weeks by several colored men and a white woman. Lenwood Longstreet and his six colored confederates, Miss Mattie Heard, also colored, and Miss Mabel Ross, white, were arrested at a Wabash avenue address. Miss Miller asserted that on a train she met a Miss Jane Allen, who suggested that she go cabaret and see the sights. They went to a resort and "Miss Allen" purchased some liquor. Then Miss Miller lost consciousness.
You don't remember any more until the next morning, continued Miss Miller, then I awoke to find my clothes had been taken away and also the $70 which I had brought with me. Longstreet and these other men had kept watch over me. If it had not been so cold I would have run away even in my lingerie. I was forced to work day and night. I was never permitted to leave the house. Longstreet and Mrs. Heard took the money they gave me.
CHILD KILLED BY

JEALOUS MAN KILLS WIFE WITH FORK
JEALOUS MAN KILLS WIFE WITH FORK
Common Law Mate of Philadelphia Man Fatally Attacks Beautiful Woman in Jealous Rage.
PHILADELPHIA, April 16—Attracted by the cries of a woman, Monday afternoon, coming from the second floor apartments of the house at the southwest corner of 15th and Ellsworth street, caused men in the pool room and barber shop on the first floor of the building to rush to the side entrance leading to the second story, to learn the cause. Those who would ascend the stairs with the intention of protecting the woman, changed their minds when James Mayo, an infuriated colored man, appeared at the head of the stairs clutching in his hand a bloody fork with which he had just stabbed his frail but pretty common law wife, Annie Stanton.
Rushing down the stairs, Mayo charged the mob at the hallway entrance and the larger one that had collected on the street. Seeing the bloody and deadly weapon and the desperation pictured on the face of the murderer, the crowd broke, opening as it did a passageway that made it possible for him to have a clear road as he dashed toward 16th street.
John Washington, a colored man, and Tony De Marco, an Italian, both of whom had just arrived on the scene and were apprised of the crime, quickly took up the pursuit of the feeling man, followed by the crowd, overtaking and capturing him at 16th street and Washington avenue.
When men and women rushed to the room of the couple, they were met by the faint groans of the dying woman who lay upon the floor in agonizing pain from the death wounds inflicted with a fork by Mayo. Two of the wounds were in the neck, while the third, in the breast, had reached and penetrated her heart. She was rushed to St. Agnes' Hospital, where she died shortly after being admitted. Magistrate Perri held Mayo without ball to await the action of the coroner.
SOMEONE ANNEXED
Charged with the theft of a mink cape valued at $750. Austin Brown was dismissed by Magistrate McQuade last Monday morning when arraigned on the complaint of Janet Kelly, 2120 Fifth Avenue.
The complainant says that on Saturday last she gave a little party at her home, to which the defendant came, with five others. Brown, she says, left soon after the dinner. Shortly after his departure, she says that she went to look in the pockets of her overcoat for a cigarette and noticed that the cape was missing. The defendant, according to her testimony, was the only one who had left the room.
Anna Casey, switchboard operator at the apartment, says that she saw the defendant in the hallway at three minutes before twelve. She said, instead of ringing for the elevator, but appeared to have had nothing hidden under his overcoat. Brown pleaded not guilty and declared that he and the complainant had been keeping company for the last six months, while two of the other men in the room, he said, had met her but two days previously.
PLEADS GUILTY TO HITTING WISE; SUSPENDED
On the complaint of his wife, Bridget, James Cooney, 24 E. 134th street, was arraigned before Magistrate McAndrews in Night Court recently charged with hitting and abusing her. Cooney pleaded guilty.
Mrs. Cooney said she did not care to see her husband jailed, and, if he would stay away from their home she would be satisfied. He promised to do this, and sentence was suspended.

Life of Pickpocket EndangeredbyMob
Policeman Has to Draw Revolver to Protect Man Accused By Woman.
Patrolman Joseph Walker, of the West 85th street station, had to draw his revolver last week to prevent a crowd of 500 men and women from seizing Forrest Adams, whom Walker had arrested on c. charge of picking the pocket of Lilian Weiner, a stenographer, while both were passengers on a southbound Ninth avenue elevated train.
Adams had boarded the train at 140th street. Miss Wolner, who lived at 2445 Eighth avenue, said that as the train was nearing the 81st street station she felt a tug at her pocket and missed her pocketbook in which there was $3. She saw Adams beside her, but was afraid to make an outcry. As the train reached the 81st street station Adams started to leave and Miss Weiner followed, shouting "Thief, thief." It seemed as if the entire train was amptied as the accused man leaped over the turnstile at the station and down the stops with the crowd in pursuit.
Adams ran into the lobby of the Colonial Hotel, scattering the guests on his way to the basement, followed by passengers, guests and hotel employees. Walker was directing traffic outside, and, going down to the basement, located him with his flashlight. With his revolver drawn and with a tight hold on Adams, Walker went to the street. As soon as he noted the size and the temper of the crowd outside, he backed against the wall of the hotel and said.
"Back up, everybody! This man is my prisoner. I'll kill the first person that lays a hand on him!" After many threats the crowd slowly dispersed. The pocketbook with $3 was found in the basement of the old Adams was arranged before Magtrate Corrigan in West Side Court and held in default of 1500 ball for examination tomorrow.

ANTI-INTERMARRIAGE BILL ASKED

Lt. Julian and Capt. McVey Fly Over Harlem
The heralded flight over Harlem and the dwarfed parachute jump of Lt. Lieut. Herbert Julian of the Canadian Air Service, did not take place Sunday as scheduled, despite the fact that Lt. Lieut. Julian made a short flight in a Curtis-Oilie, fifteen horse-power plane, piloted by Capt. Edison McVey, colored, 2359 Seventh avenue. Atmospheric conditions again prevented Lt. Julian from making the jump. Soon after the astronauts took off at the Curtis Field they headed straight for Harlem where a large crowd had assembled in the street and on the roofs to witness the leap. The plane maneuvered a few minutes and Lt. Julian dropped a decoy parachute which was carried miles away by the wind. Nevertheless, Lt. Julian insisted on making the leap so as not to disappoint the people. He was restrained by Capt. McVey.
Furthermore, an instant later the plane developed motor trouble and McVoy headed for the Harlem River, Flying low over the water and unable to again lift the plane into the air, the brave aviators were forced to fly under the narrow span of Holl Gate Bridge. A little later the motor responded and Capt. McVoy went up and headed for the Curtles Field. Both gave assurance that another flight will be made on the first clear Sunday afternoon.

Missourian Will Reintroduce His Measure in the Next Session of Congress.
Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, who introduced the Anti-Lynching Bill bearing his name in Congress, will tour the Middle West and Pacific. Coast States, beginning May 1, to arouse public sentiment in behalf of the bill which he intends to introduce in the next Congress.
He will begin his speaking tour in Kansas City, proceeding via Omaha, Denver, Colorado Springs and Salt Lake City to California, and returning through the States of Oregon and Washington by a northern route to Chicago.
Mr. Dyer's Anti-lynching Bill was passed by a vote of 880 to 118 in the House of Representatives and was favorably reported by by the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate. A filibuster, conducted by southern Democratic Senators led to its abandonment by the Republican majority. In announcing his tour, Representative Dyer said:
"I am going before the country on the issue of lynching, a national shame, which for 85 years the States failed to end and the Federal Government has failed to attack.
"The Anti-lynching Bill which I introduced in Congress and which was passed by a vote of almost 2 to 1 in the House of Representatives, was stopped in the Senate by the filibuster of Senators from those States in which most lynchings occur.
"The Federal Anti-lynching Bill is not sectional. It applies to every part of the country. It assumes that an atrocity in America is a national disgrace whether it occurs in Georgia, or Texas, or Oregon, or Illinois.
"I shall re-introduce this measure in the next Congress. It will be re-introduced, I believe, in the Senate. Meanwhile, I shall acquaint as many American citizens as possible with the horrors of lynching in America, and with the provisions of the bill designed to end those horrors."
"We shall then see if a small minority of men from an army group of Staten-ijn block an attack on the capital."
DRUG STORE RAIDED A 2ND TIME Officer McLeod Practically Vindicated When Detectives Find Large Amount of Whiskey in Drug Store Raid Sunday.
Following the arrest of Detective Herrod McLeod, a colored officer, charged with illegal arrest of the white wife of the proprietor of the Wolkins Drug Store, 2216 Seventh Avenue, hootch galore is said by the police to have been found in a raid on that establishment by Detective Sullivan of the Third Inspection District and two other white officers, at 1:15 a.m. last Sunday.
Morris Pearlman, white, druggist, of 2038 Morris Avenue, was locked up in the 38th Precinct Station, charged with violation of the Mullan-Gage Act.
The police say that they found 95 pint bottles filled with whiskey; 1 pint bottle partly filled with the same fluid; 2 quart bottles whiskey; half pint gin; 1 five gallon can of whiskey, and two five gallon demijohns of wine. The Wolkins Drug Store had no permit.
Officer McLeod was recently arrested on a warrant issued by Justice Erlanger following the acquittal of Mrs. Wolkins in the 12th District Court for violation of the liquor law. Mrs. Wolkins has captured civil suit for $10,000 charging violation of Section 828 of the Civil Practice Act against Officer McLeod.
Friends of Officer McLeod declare that the finding of this large quantity of liquor is a practical vindication and are wondering whether his color played any part in his arrest, subsequent suspension for a week, and his being placed in uniform.
Liquor cases took up the large part of the docket last Monday morning at the Washington Heights Court. The majority of the alleged violators were freed either of lack of evidence or failure of the officers to provide themselves with search warrants.
Among those held was James H. Snead, a laborer, of 842 W. 144th street. Snead was held in $500 for violation of the liquor law. Detective Dunn of Third Inspection District said that he found the defendant brewing. booth in a copper kettle. Snead also had a number of policy slips on him and for the latter offense was held in $1,002 ball.

369th Infantry Notes
Leutenant Des Versey and 20
Leutnant Sterling E. Dounce
of Co. A, 269th Infantry, having been
confined for a few days on account
of sickness, have reported for duty.
We wish to congratulate the new
faces who reported for drill on last
Monday night.
The officers of A Co. are doing
everything possible to recruit the
company up to 80 men. In order
to do that we must appeal to you
to enlist. We want you, because
we believe you to be a patriotic
law-abiding, duty-doing citizen
that is the spirit of A Co. Bring
your friends and enlist.
We are sure you remember those
lonely days in June, 1916 (when
we might have been called the
broom-handle brigade), now we
dog-trotted and hopped through
the streets of Harlem as a soldier;
now we bow our bit in the world
war, to make the world a better
place to live in.
The boys have done what we expected of them. It is now our duty to make good the things for
which they offered their lives and
their blood.
The very best way for you to
show your loyalty to the State and
to the 369th Infantry is to enlist me.
The Armory work is on rapidly,
and when we march into the
new Armory we want to march
in with at least 80 men, and the
best drilled company on earth.

BEFORE'S MAN'S EYES
Because Willie King, a chauffeur, of 308 West 139th street could give no satisfactory explanation of why he had been absent from his work for three hours he was held for the Grand Jury when charged by his employer, Luke Peterson, a real estate operator, of 134 West 139th street with the tueet of $208. Peterson told Magistrate McQuade in the Heights Court Monday morning that last Friday he was arranging his money for the bank at 3 p. m. in King's prensence. He went to another part of the room to endorse some checks with King still present. he said. Shortly after King left the room, and did not return until six. When asked where he had been, the defendant, he said, told him that he had gone to a picture show.
When questioned as to his long absence King replied that Peterson never gave him any time off, because of which he had warned him that unless he gave him time for rest he was going to take some. As to how the money could have disappeared when only he and his employer were in the room, King replied that there was a woman hidden by the complainant in an adjoining room behind a curtain. It was impossible for him to take the money, he said, as Peterson carried a big revolver.

Be Careful What You Wash Your Childs Hair With
If you want to keep your child's hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified coconut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing as this cannot possibly injure the hair. Simply put two or three teaspoonful of Mulsified in a cup or glass with a little warm water, then molest the hair with water and rub the Mulsified in. It will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleansse the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, mildew and insects oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified coconut oil shampoo at any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces will last everyone in the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified.

If intensified training will bring out the best qualities of the athletes that have been assigned the task of keeping the Hilldale Club out in front during the 1923 season, then Philadelphia's representatives in the Mutual Association should be fit as the proverbial fiddle when the umpire calls "play ball" at Hilldale Park Saturday, April 28th due to the fact that Ed Bolden, the sagacious pilot of the Darby football team, camign that has kept the players on the jump and with the aid of Captain John Henry Lloyd, has in a systematic manner given the players the benefit of new equipment during the conditioning period.
Each morning at ten o'clock the bee bive like activity is in evidence at Hildale Park, Captain Lloyd has been surrounded with the following players: Briggs, George Johnson, "Judy" Johnson, Santop, Allen, Cockrell, Flourney and Stevens from last year's squad and Mackey from Indianapolis; Carr from Kansas City; Warfield and Thomas from Detroit; "Ping" Garden, "Nimp" Winters, "Red" Ryan and "Script" Loe. Skill workss have been held daily and many of the fans have cropped in at the Larby ball park, give the perspiring athletes the once over. With the fans all set to get their first bive at the Hildale Park in an astonishing snow fall, they dropped into town and K. O'd the game that was scheduled with Art Summer's new Crane team at the latter's grounds. Two more weeks of conditioning and a couple of games with the American Chath team at York, Pa., sandwiched in, will bring Golden's hire lineup to the wire.
Just how successful the Hilldale management has been in gathering together their 1923 crop, will be exposed to the public when they clash with the Bacharach Giants in the Texas. The Atlantic City aggregation has a strong combination that bids fair to give trouble to all opponents, included in their lineup are several players who at different times have played with Hilldale and the fur is sure to fly when Francis, Downa, Chaney, White, Lundy and Yank stack against the home of the Jackson of the Bacharach corps has put in the Bachelor signed Mason and Henderson of last year's Richmond Giants team, Hampton from the A, B, C's, Branahan from Cleveland, with these men in line the shore boys expect to put a crimp in the opening exercises.
A corp of workmen have been busy putting Hildale Park into condition and the management promises to have everything shipshape by April 25th. A good band will furnish music to enliven the occasion and Edward Henry, President of the Citizen's Republican Club will start the action by tossing out the new pellet.
Lincolns Open On April 29
McKay Will Assist Santop in Holding the Fast Ones Behind the Bat
The Lincoln Giants, local representatives in the newly formed Eastern Colored League, have what appears on paper to be the greatest collection of colored players ever assembled as one team but when they open the season on April 29th the Catholic Protestory Oval, East Tremont ave. nuo near 180th street with the famons, kidlidale team they are little to have a cruel awakening as the latter team have also been fortified with players whose names ucan just as much to the fans as those of the Lincoln.
Mackay, one of the greatest catchers in the game, will assist Santop who needs no introduction to the local fans, in handling the slants of Cockerell, Winters, Floriani and Red Ryan, slammen that are nationally known throughout the country.
Lloyd, the greatest shortstop in the country and manager of the Hildailles, will have at the Keystone sack Warfield, considered the best man in the middle west, and this combination looks as good to the fan of Harlem and the Bronx as Frisch and Bancroft of the Giants. Both these teams are anxious to get the jump in the first game and if will be a battle from the first ball pitched up to the last putout that should be well worth witnessing.

Moore Returns With 'Pep'
Popular Fight Manager at the 15th Receives Warm Welcome After a Long
George Moore, who returned recently from the West and other points where pressing business called him away from the 15th Infantry Armory some months ago, is enjoying a welcome at the hands of his many followers and the fight fans who patronize the bouts at the 15th Infantry Armory that should lend encouragement to his efforts to stage the best bouts to be obtained. The lights are being held on Friday nights instead of on Tuesday as in the past and the genial manager has been unusually skillful in making matches that meet with favor at the club. Mr. Moore, like hundreds in the community, felt that acting manager Lieut. Benjamin Wright held things down with an able hand during his absence and speaks highly of the service rendered him by Lieut Wright during his absence. We too, join in bidding him a warm welcome and hope that success will crown his efforts.
MOREHOUSE SWAMPS
CLAFLIN UNIVERSITY
ATLANTA. Ga., April 7.—The Morehouse Tigers continued their heavy hitting Saturday afternoon and won a 16-1 victory from Claflin University.
Captain Dunn, Idlett and Williams led the Tiger outcash in batting with three hits each, while Hankerson ranked next with two home runs. Smith, the star backstop of Claflin, showed great ability as a catcher.
The Morehouse infield functioned well throughout the entire game, making many chances seem easy, while the Claflin nine made a total of five errors and showed signs of too much work.

Just a few lines to let our many followers know of our future dates.
Since leaving Atlantic City we made Newark our stamping grounds and won for ourselves the confidence of the people of Danceland, but here of late we have not been able to appear at any of the local ballrooms, being booked out of town for the past month, playing Red Bank, Long Branch, Plainfield, Westfield, Englewood, Hackensack and Elizabeth. We have been booked for return engagements after we complete a series of engagements at home. We are also to support Miss Alice L. Carter, the "Arto Record Star," in a number of her engagements. We will appear in Orange the week of the 9th, Plainfield week of the 16th, Montclair and Newark 23rd and Closter 30th, Morristown and Westfield May 7th week, Paterson, Elizabeth and Asbury Park the following weeks.

Speaking of playing fair calls to mind a number of would-be promoters in this neck o' the woods. Some time ago we announced that any man, woman or child attempting to stage an affair and taking a chance on musicians and newspapers receiving their money we consider an adventurer. We stick to what we said then and we repeat with all the emphasis at our command that these adventurers are the kind who would stab their friends in the back the first chance they get.
If you are actuated by an honest intent to make a few dollars via staging an affair, you should work and get together the money necessary to cover your expenses in case of failure. When you fail to do this you are emulating the example of "Get Rich Quick Wallingford" Ponzi and the rest of them. The only difference between you and Jesse James is that Jesse rode a horse. In case of success at one of these fly-by-night affairs, the musicians, printers and newspapers never share in the profits, hence I will never reach that stage where I can see that it is fair to ask these workers to share in the failure. If you haven't money to cover your affair you are a schemer trying to get by on your wits and any fair minded person will explain what seeking to get by on wits mean. You are in the class of the well dressed gentlemen without any visible means of support even though you might "cover" by holding down a job. You work but your thoughts run in the same channel as the pimps.

Tournament
Monday evening, April 16th, according to the schedule as laid out by Manager Willis of the Colored Amateur Billiard Players' Association, the Tenth Annual Round Robin of the club for the W. H. Willis championship trophy got under way. The occasion was honored by President Scott and Vice-President Neal playing the first game of the tournament.
the vice-president got the first bout with a score of 100 to 86. Clarence Jones, the one musical member of the club, seems determined to get such a lead that he will be hard to catch. Hoagland is hot on his heels and if he stumbles he will try to pass him. Some of the best have not started yet. The members are making serious inquiries as to the winners playing the winners of the Defender amateur tournament for the InterState Amateur Championship. The club was closed during the funeral of Mr. Edward Gibson on Friday, April 13th. Quite a few members attended in the capacity of palebearers. Mr. Gibson was one of the organizers of the club and took an active part as chairman of the House Committee.

Jack Dempsey Plans to Leave the Roped Arena
White Heavyweight Champion Finds a Way Wherein To Sidestep the Only Logical Man in the World To Face Him For the Title. (Preston News Service) true that there is a strong senti-
CHICAGO, Ill., April 19—Way has come that Jack Dempsey may not enter the ring again. Fortunately he has at last found a way to side-step meeting contenders for the heavyweight championship. Wily Jack Kearns is said to be secretary of the coal mining company of which Dempsey is the president somewhere in the West. It takes considerable business ability to operate a coal company and lots of nerve to make it a successful venture. Both of these elements appear to be lacking in the makeup of the coal concern's president. With the combined thinking of the head officials of New York State, Muldouo and Kearns, it was found difficult to dodge meeting worthy contestants for the championship.
Sport fans are inclined to think that this latest announcement of Kearns' is just another camouflage. Still bluffing the public. The field of worthy contenders for the fight crown is getting too full of frightful aspirants to suit a man with as small brain capacity and as little nerve as Dempsey has. He has actually taken to the tall timber in his latest move.
Persons conversant with the coal mining business know that this industry is exceedingly expensive to conduct in the Western states. It Dempsey and his advisers had wished to have really put up a stall that the public would swallow they should have located in Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia, Alabama, or Pennsylvania. Regular coal mining districts.
According to Kearns' statement the proposed company owns 6,000 acres of agricultural land. This, of course, will give them a chance to thrive for Dempsey is much better fitted for a plain farmer than anything else.
In plain words, Dempsey is afraid to meet Harry Wills, or Floyd Johnson or any of that coterie of title aspirants. It is

Siki Finally Gets Back to France
(Presion News Service.)
PARIS, France, April 10.—Full of seasickness and the downhearted blues, Battling Sidi, who left this country over a month ago to battle in Ireland on St. Patrick's Day, returned last Tuesday.
Sidi, the victim of American prejudice propaganda in Europe, was forced to remain in Ireland. It is said, because American and British boats refused to take him as a passenger from Ireland, and he was denied permission to leave from England.
When news of this unfortunate and discriminatory practice reached France, it is said: that M. Daligne, the colored Deputy from Senegal, petitioned the French government to send an airplane to Ireland and bring SDI back to

Coming here with the reputation of having attracted some of the most well known/critics by the wonderful "performances they have given of "Salome" in other cities, Harlem will next week enjoy the opportunity of bidding welcome to a number of performers who in days not so very long distant won a fasting popularity in our midst that will do much in drawing thousands to the Lafayette Theatre to witness a drama which won the plaudits wherever presented in Europe or America.
Headed by Sidney Kirkpatrick and Evelyn Preer, the latter the young lady who has made such a wonderful success in the movies, the cast will also include such well known performers as Solomon Bruce, Laura Bowman, Lionei Monagas, Charlie Olden, and Arthur Ray. Speaking of the wonderful work of the people presenting Oscar Wilde's famous play, the New York World said:
"The more important "Salome" was given an interesting and artistic presentation. Meagerness of scenery is accounted of little importance these days. The lights were well managed and something in the lighting gave the dark skinned actors the semblance of whiteness. Salome's rounded limbs, half revealed under the draperies of her seven vells, glistened white.
Easily the star was Miss Evelyn Freer, who played Salome. Beautiful, graceful, endowed with a fine dramatic sense and well rehearsed Miss Freer brought to mind, and that not without favorable compari-
To live like a Prince need to be the paraphrase for the most luxurious existence possible, but this has changed a lot lately. Even with the tie-ups and blow-outs which embarrass modern transportation, the owner of a humble flivver would hardly want to travel like a Prince in the Tudor period. King Henry VIII lavish and luxurious monarch though he was, never knew the luxury of a limousine—or even the comparative comfort of a Ford. The King and his lords journeyed on horseback for the most part, but they also had carriages—so-called. Nothing gives a better idea of the cumbersome, awkward luxury of princes and the nobility in the days "When Knighthood Was in Flower" than the structure of these heavy carriages built about like hay wagons. The best had four wheels and were drawn by three or four horses, harnessed in a row, with the postillon mounted on one. Solid benns tested on the axles, without any springs to relieve the folting, and above this framework rose an arched body, rounded like a tunnel—or a "prairie schooner."
Details Were plaborate.
But the details were extremely elaborate; the wheels were carved and the spokes expanded near the hoop into ribs forming pointed arches. The beams were painted and glided, while the interior was hung with those gorgeous tapes tries which were the glory of the age. The seats were furnished with embroidered cushions, and the windows in the sides hung with silk curtains.
When Mary Tudor, sister of King Kenry VIII, went to be the bride of Louis XII of France, she travelled in an elaborate stage coach, with the top a sort of open-work trellis covered with white cloth of gold, so that all Paris might see and admire the beautiful English princess. For the picturization of this royal romance, as related in "When Knighthood Was in Flower," with Marion Davies as Princess Mary Tudor, a Paramount picture coming to the Lincoln Theatre Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Cosmopolitan Productions constructed an exact duplicate of this splendid stage coach—but Marion Davies the star, decries that there is more comfort in a taxi of today.
AFRICAN NEGRO ART.
Baron de Cartier de Marchienne, the Belgian Ambassador, opened the Exhibition of Primitive African Negro Art at the Brooklyn Museum yesterday. The collection is of special interest to the ambassador as it was made mainly in the Belgian possessions in the Congo region, he came from Washington especially for the opening. His train was met on Tuesday by a committee of the trustees and the director and he was conducted to the museum.

son. Mary Garden's impassioned moments. She danced more reservedly than some other Satomess and her fondling of the Prophet's head was not so gruesome.
The Herod of Sidney Kirkpatrick was another outstanding role. The interminably long speeches were a tax almost equal to some of Shakespeare's upon the memory, and the characterization of the wicked Tetrarch called for fine acting ability. A deep voiced speaker, Solomon Bruce, was Jokanam, whose one appearance was admirably managed. The other players acquitted themselves creditably."

Knights of Pythias to Hold a
Benefit Smoker Extraordi-
dary at 15th Infan-
When the committees to the various lodges of Pythias got together and secured the 15th Regiment Armory to give a big joint smoker for the benefit of the relief funds of their respective lodges which has been sorely taxed this winter with requests for relief, they were most gratefully surprised when they solicited stars of Broadway and men of national reputation in the boxing world to help them make this smoker a success as well as a pleasure to the public.
The Knights of Pythias of the E. & W. H. have not, since 1917, asked the public to support any kind of a benefit, so the committee has chosen to present to the men folks what they think will appeal to them directly.

'NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1923
Music Week Will Be Fittingly Observed by Popular Organization at Renaissance Casino When we speak of worthy organizations deserving the patronage of the public in this city, one of the most prominent in our minds is the Alpha Physical Culture Club, which has done as much for our young men as any other of its kind within the past ten or fifteen years.
Desirous of continuing to serve the public and those who have steadfastly stuck in the face of many obstacles, this organization will be among those fittingly observing "Music Week" when they present a musical festival and dance at the Renaissance Casino on Friday evening. May 4th, which will compare favorably with anything along this order planned or presented among our people.
It will be an observance of the municipal celebration that will again bring before the mublic such stars in the music world as Eugene Mars Martin, Olive M. Hopkins and Randolph Dunbar, with David I. Martin acting as musical director and Louis S. Heoper as accompanist.
Carlotta Freeman In Lead
Former Lafayette Players Artist to Head Big Cast Presenting "Jepththah" on April 20th
An evening's entertainment out of the ordinary is promised for Harlem at the Renaissance Casino on the coming Friday evening. April 20th, when Miss Carlotta Freeman, heading a cast of seventy-five people, under the direction of Professor H. Lawrence Freeman, will appear in the beautiful cantata entitled "Jepththah"
Miss Freeman, who is known to thousands of lovers of the dramatic art here by the splendid work she did as a member of the LaFayette Players, will appear as "Iphigenia," and just as conscientiously as in the days when, at our popular Harlem playhouses, has she undertaken a part that will give her the opportunity to appear at her best.
Elaborato costumes will adorn the actors appearing in the show, and everything in connection therewith will add to the beauty of a play which few will miss. After the program there will be dancing by one of the best orchestras assembled for such an occasion.

Dentist to Appeal Alhambra Suit
Dr. Henry B. Delaney Asks $500 For Refusal to Sell Him Orchestra Seats.
Dr. Henry B. Delaney. 2301 Seventh avenue, dentist, lost his action against the Alhambra Theatre, 126th street and Seventh avenue, for $500 for refusing to sell him a seat for the show on the evening of February 4. It was brought out in the testimony before Justice Prince in the Seventh District Court, 320 West 125th street, that on the night of the performance Dr. Delaney had attempted to purchase two tickets. This was at 8:20 p.m. and witnesses for the theatre concern stated the entire house was sold out.
Dr. Delaney stated that a man in front of him in the line returned four tickets and the ticket seller placed two of the tickets in front of the dentist when he called for orchestra seats. Dr. Delaney alleges the treasurer withdrew the tickets when he saw he was colored and placed two seats for the loge, which he refused. Several witnesses were interrogated and all denied having any tickets when the dentist requested them, with the exception of the proffered ones, which he had refused. Herman Phillips, manager of the house, who was made a party to the lawsuit, said the tickets were all sold out at the hour at which Dr. Delaney had made his request.
The court ruled that in view of the lateness in which Dr. Delaney had endeavored to acquire theatre tickets the benefit of the doubt should be given to the theatre concern and the action was dismissed. Dr. Delaney has filed a notice of appeal from the verdict and will take the case to the Supreme Court.

NOTE—This group of actors have astounded the critics of the world's greatest newspapers. They have been praised to the skies in both the white and colored press. It has been said that EVELYN PREER'S performance of "SALOME" so far outshines that of MARY GARDEN and NAZIMOVA, that there is no comparison. This praise comes from such well known critics of Metropolitan newspapers as the CHICAGO EXAMINER, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, CHICAGO DAILY NEWS, CHICAGO EVENING POST, CHICAGO JOURNAL, etc. NEW YORK GLOBE, NEW YORK WORLD, WASHINGTON TIMES, WASHINGTON HERALD, WASHINGTON POST, etc.
This wonderful group of players have been brought to the LAFAYETTE for a limited engagement of one week owing to the fact that theatres, societies, clubs, wealthy patrons of the drama and others are besieging Mr. O'NEIL to bring his company to theatres throughout the land. Owing to these tremendous demands, unheard in the theatrical world, the players are now preparing for a nation wide tour.
The wonderful awe-inspiring performances given by the company have been declared to be one of the greatest factors in the uplift and recognition of the abilities of our people. It puts the race on a par with others and has already written pages in the history of our people—pages of facts inspired by the ideals and teachings of our late noble leader—BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Were he alive today, he would be willing to pass on after seeing this group of performers, for he would know and feel that his ideals, his thoughts, his struggle for recognition, his inspirations, had not been fostered in vain.

Although much Is being sald adversely anent the eensatlonal en-
trance of colored Americana In the show business in England, it"is re
freching to note that all Engilah writers have not been touched by the
Brejudice which would exclude our people because of thelr succeys a8
entertainers in Europe- In a epecial cable despatch to tho Brodklyn
Eagle and Phitadelphia Ledger wo find thle illuminating account of
conditions across tho pond:
“The employment of a troup of American negro musical comedy
artiste ae the star turn in a ahow marking the reopening of London's
famous old music hall, the Empire, and the engagement by ancther
manager of a second band or dusky entertainers for another revue, soon
to open here, has resulted in several theatrical critics trumping up a
color war, which became ao acute that last night's opening of a cabaret,
fn which negroes were to appear, has been indefinitely postponed.
“The Dixieland entertainers already here made thelr debut this
week In Sir Alfred Butts’ appropriately named show, ‘The Rainbow.
They paraded thelr wares to the jollification of the groater part of the
audience, but to the disgust of certain critics, who next morning con-
‘tinued their disparagement of colored entertalners, which began weeks
before the show opened.
“The basis of most of their criticisms has been the unemployment
prevalent throughout the English theatrical profession, which le made
worse by Invading allens, but they also injected the consideration of
color in thelr comments.
“Now the more militant eritles want the Minlater of Latbr to Inter
vene in the role of liberator, arid emancipate all theatreland from fur-
ther incursions of colored men by prohibiting the entry of the second
troupe to the country, *
“americans here unable to understand the fuss raised over the
negroes, as they are outwardly indistinguishable from the Indians who
are scen nightly in the company of fashionably gowned white women
In the smartest hotole and restaurants. Blacktace comedians tong have
been favorites In English mucle halls and a atreet entegtalnera, but the
diagruntied critics do not like the real thing.”

Be May 4.
Hope Day Nursery's 2ist annusl
May ontertainment at the New
Star Casino, Friday evening, May
4, promises to furnish an evening
of rare enjoyment. The Dancing
Nympts and Milnstrel Cut-ups have
been working hord to make this
year’s program an exceptional one.
The program is given by "The
Girle! Theatrical Club," Jed by
Teelma Whitaker and Dorothy
Embry, and made up of many of
the talented chifren of the city who
for years have made Hope Day
Nursery's annual May entertain-
ment # success.
_, For the dance this year, John ‘C.
Smith and hls Modern Orchestra
has been secured, and those wh
enjoy this part of tho program
may “Dance tho whole night

morning.”
‘Tho board. of managers fs urging
Its former patrons and friends,
both olf and new, to come out {0
even Isrger numbers and help an
Institution deserving of continued
support.
After witnessing the opening performance of “How Come?” at the
Apolto Theatre on Monday night we are firmly convinces that auch men
a8 Jesse Shipp and Alex Rogers are Justified in holding themselves
aloof from enterprising but misguided whRe men who ingist on forcing
their ideas on a colored producer after agrecing to accept the book of a
colored writer.
“How Come?” we feet certain, will meet with a great measure of
appreciation from the hands of the white people, providing they get|
busy and allow the offering to be @ musical comedy Instead of trymg t|
inject vaudeville and revue stuff where It does not belong. Getting off
toa flying start with colors at the masthead and fluttering In the breeze, |
the second act found the show slowed up to such a degree we felt aj
sinking at the heart, and thie because wo can ste that tho offorta of
Eddle Hunter are being tampered with to meet the will and Idea of
some white man who, Lord forgive us, feels more conversant with
“things cotored” than Intelligent colored men euch as George Cooper!
and the said Eddie Hunter.
For some reason or other those who would repeat the success of a
“Ghuffle Along” refuse to sce that the originality in this latter show
was the thing which has made it the success it is, and we see vaude-
ville numbers sandwiched in where they have no place, we wonder why
if these gentlemen feel so certain that such must be done to make.
a show a success, they do not gather a number of colored acts and go
ahead with 2 vaudevillo show instead of starting a story and cutting
into it without rhyme or reason,
‘The spectacle of a Chinaman playing the blues makes one wonder
if the imagination can be stretched far enough to expect from the Mon-
gollana that which we have always associated with “darkest America.”
Fully appreciating the plang outlined by Hunter before the big opening,
wo folt cortain that if allowed to carry them through there would be no
reason for entertaining the elightest doubt of the success of the chow.
Gorgeously costumed with scenery that surpasses anything in a colored
show In recent years and a fast working and good looking chorua, “How.
Como?” If whipped Into shape will give “Liza” the run of ite life on the
Big Street.
Let tho socalled “bits” be relegated to a bygone age; tet the story
of the show take its natural course and tho natural humor furnished |
by Bs Higgins, Eddis Huntsr, Gsorgs Cosper, Andrew ‘Trivbie, Fait
child and Lovejoy, Amon Davis, and a few athers will carry the produc |
tlon to the success which it deserves. Chappello and Stinette must be |
more properly placed. Strange, atrange Indeed that the experience
gained with ‘ Put and Take” and that show of many names which ended
up with “Oh Joy” hasn't taught our friend Mr. Goldborg something;
about what Is expected from a colored production. Colored shows have
already ceased to be a novelty and they -an only pass on their merits. |
And we say these things in epite of our predicted succesc for "How |
Come?” in our last Issue and hope that when we do review the show
in full at a later date we. will cee Hunter enjoying the opportunity |
which should be his. We rest on our oars with a feeling that many of |
‘the metropolitan critics will side with us In what wo have eald and we.
‘hasten to write these few lines before reading their peal sl of the|
show. We feel this way about It and though we trled it would be im,
possible to write differently on the subject, {

Ninth Cavalry Leaves Manila
Ninth Cavalry Leaves Manila
Fourteen Discharged Soldiers Prefer to Stay in
Philippines.
MANILA, April 16.—The Ninth
Cavalier is on its way home.
Out of fourteen enlisted men leaving on the transport Thomas, six will abandon Filipino wives, two others who will be discharged from the army are paying $125 out of their savings for government transport and railroad charges for each member of their family, while the remaining six will preserve their families intact through funds advanced to them by the Red Cross and for the repayment of which they pledged their army pay for many months to come. The six wives who will be deserted, added to those previously abandoned by American soldiers ordered home, will make more than 100 homes that have been wrecked as a result of the heartless policy of the government. Seventeen former members of the Ninth Cavalry, all fathers of families, now are in the Philippines, forced to remain here because they were unable to raise transport passage fares for their wives and children.
That the War Department does not give a hang how much suffering its unexpected orders entail on the Ninth Cavalry, which has been stationed in the Philippines for many years, is shown by an investigation made by Brigadier General Johnson Hagood, commanding Camp Stotesburg. Out of 800 enlisted men in the regiment, a total of 277 had either legal or common law wives in the Philippines, while more than 100 are the mothers of children.
Although the government might be unable to afford the expense of transporting the families of its transferred soldiers to the United States, local officers assert that the War Department's policy could have been easily avoided by permitting the married men to remain in the islands until their enlistment terms expired.

No one individual woman nursed Rudolf Grant back to health. No one woman paid his bills while confined to bed, or during his convalescence. No one woman at her own expense sent him with his nurses to the country to recuperate. No one woman provided or provides for his upkeep financially. Rudolf Grant works for his living, and very hard. Finally, no living woman has the right legally to call her老公 Mrs. Rudolf Grant. Because he has no wedded wife, and is married to no one. Other matters will follow in next week's issue.

Why refined granulated sugar?
The Answer: Many impurities are removed from sugar by the final refining processes, which result in granulated sugar. Because of this purification, and also because of its flavor, only the purest granulated sugar is good enough for Bond Bread. Other grades of sweetening would cost much less, but Bond Bread's "home-made" flavor would suffer.

To sleep undisturbed through a long, long night
And lose thyself in slumber,
wherefore weep
When loved ones rest in Nature
dreamless sleep?
May we not hope to see thee face to face
When Jesus calls thee from thy resting place?
Believe the Master; oer and oer he said
Why weepest thou? Only salsep Not dead—not dead!
Long days and nights she bore
the pain.
To wait for cure, but all in vain.
Till God alone know what was best
He took her home and gave her
rest.
A bitter grief, a shock severe
To part with you we loved so
dear.
We will not complain
We will not complain
But hope we'll meet in heaven
again.
She is gone, but not forgotten.
Never shall her memory fade.
Our thoughts shall ever linger.
Round the grave where she is
laid.
Daughter, Dorothy, Aunt Sarah.

A WOMAN'S MOUTH
By THE HARLEM BARD.
The artist, singer, poet, all
Are “ut some ‘tine eoinpetted
all,
‘To the highest art they can recall,
A Woman's mou! -
‘bey paint {t with a Cupid's bow.
‘They sing of ft buth bisa and low,
A! but they seally do not know
A Woman's mouth,
At times we think that Heavenly
Bliss
Was meene for just such umes as
t
And that ig why you fondly kiss
A woman's mouth,
Wut you would not so gaily sing
- And yy would not so sweetly Fins,
if ye Skew there tay a serpents
sting
On a Woman's month, .
You hold your sweetheart close to
yout.
‘Ask, do you love me, love me true?
Wirt evald sound sweeter than, |
0.
From a woman’s mouth?
Anna nen when wo think again,
What is 30 meun, what is more
vain, .
What is tlere can czuse more pain
‘Than a womun’s mouth?
Sometimes we wonder of the cause
Of-long and dreadiul, bloody wars;
"Many a time it's by ihe lave
From a woman's mouth.
Women, man can never tell,
Ho may know her long, may know
her well,
But I know the nearest thing to
Hell
Is a woman's mouth.

been brought into unprepared contact with liquor drinking in its most objectionable aspect. With them as well, the character of association is with that which in their previous experience stood for all that was protective and beneficial. And thus the tipping habit is fostered in a sphere and under circumstances which lack the safeguards which the old saloon system, through the vory fragrance of its evils, afforded.
Published every Wednesday by The Amsterdam News Publishing Co., 2007 Seventh Avenue, New York. Mr. Edward W. Bickerton, President, Amsterdam News Publishing Co., Mr. A. R. Thorne, Secretary, Entered as second-class master December 31, 1909, at the New York Post Office, under act March 3, 1899. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: $3.00 per visit, $0.00 per year. ADVERTISING RATES UPON REQUEST.
IT IS by way of no disparagement to womanhood when it is said that the illicit phase of the present system exercises a peculiar fascination, for the male youth of the country are also amendable to its insidious appeal. The danger lies in the prevalent conviction that the existing prohibition laws involve a definite blow at personal liberty, and that any infractions of such laws do not, per se, constitute an immoral act. Thus, there comes in a dash of the brigand in the young man who surreptitiously gains possession of a bottle of "hootch." To cap the pride in his possession, the next stop is to display the evidence of his hardhood to the young female of the species, under the sway of the same mingled emotions that led "Bertle the Lamb" in "The Henrietta" to furnish manifest tokens that he was a "devil of a fellow," although normally he was a quite harmless and innocent individual. The girl is duly impressed, for the incident answers to a latent demand that the male distinguish himself after such fashion.
Proportional Representation
Concerning proportional representation, your office is unanimous in recommending no departure from the policy that has so long approved itself policy of equal opportunity for all regardless of religion. Any action liable to interpretation acceptance of the principle of racial discrimination would to many seem like a dangerous surer of traditional ideals."—Extract from report of Committee.
THESE CONDITIONS are forces in the illicit traffic as investigators in the field of his wits preternaturally sharpened the bootleger takes advantage dencies of human nature and quite harmless and innocent is duly impressed, for the last latent demand that the mail after some such fashion.
3. Concerning proportional representation, your committee is unanimous in recommending no departure from the policy that has so long approved itself—the policy of equal opportunity for all regardless of race and religion. Any action liable to interpretation as an acceptance of the principle of racial discrimination would to many seem like a dangerous surrender of traditional ideals."—Extract from report of Harvard Committee.
THESE CONDITIONS are as well known to the forces in the illicit traffic as to the more learned investigators in the field of human psychology. His wits preternaturally sharpened by the hope of gain, the bootleger takes advantage of those innate tendencies of human nature and "goes after" this new and hitherto undeveloped market. In the old days, the swinging doors opened inward to admit the voluntary customer. The worst dive-keeper never went out after his victims. Today the bootleger carries his wares to the home. The serpent invades paradise. The future of the illicit industry is dependent upon the ability to create an enlarged demand. In the hands of the most unscrubulous element to be found in the human race, there is no compunction but rather the most persistent effort to create an enlarged clientele. It is no longer a contest of equals. Organized cunning meets a comparatively weak antagonist, and has for its allies those very tendencies of the spirit of male and female youth already mentioned, which it turns to malignant uses.
Sumner Lark's Generosity
IN SO GENEROUSLY offering to donate to the state fifty or more acres of land in the hamlet of Larkshire, Futnam County, to establish a "state school for agricultural and mechanical training." Sumner H. Lark, a colored Democrat of Brooklyn, has almost revealed the depth to which some men will go for personal gain. Colored people in this state do not want and do not use any such school as is proposed in the Russell Bill. Its passage would undoubtedly open the flood-gates of separate schools throughout the state and seriously hamper the proper education of the youth of our race. Furthermore, if the state wanted such a school it has enough to buy the land for it.
WE BELIEVE that Mr. Lark is well aware of the consequences that would attend the establishment of such a school. If he is not aware of the consequences, we know that he has not the ability to represent the white and colored citizens of Kings County in the courts, and should be removed from Office. But it is our firm belief that the Assistant District Attorney knows better and that it is only another case of "the race be damned." When referred to by the press and by colored citizens as a proposed " Jim-Crow" institution it is correctly termed unless, of course, Mr. Lark is laboring under the belief that the state wants him to be the head an institution for the agricultural training of white and colored students.
NONE OF THE FOREGOING, of course, is intended to be a defense of the saloon. Yet, in the relative picture presented of the workings of the old system and that by which it has been supplanted, it cannot be denied that there existed a condition of voluntary self-regulation in the old that protected the young and innocent, which is entirely absent in the new, and that the latter has brutally made breaches in strongholds which the former never had the temerity to attack. Moreover, there was a measure of control by the government under the old system which it was to the interest of the legalized liquor traffic, if only in self-defense, to support. In the bootlegging era which was supervised, that interest on the part of those engaged in the traffic is not only lacking, but they wre with each other in spreading the evil. And the combined forces of the Government are powerless to cope with the situation.
THE GENEROUS OFFER to donate land to the state is only exceeded by a provision in the Bill fixing the term of office for the president of the school as six years "at a salary to be fixed by the board of trustees," and that "the sum of one hundred thousand, dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated for the maintenance of the said school of agriculture and mechanical industries for the fiscal year beginning October first, nineteen hundred and twenty-three."
Harvard Saved For Democracy
MR. LARK of Larksburg is a generous man.
The campaign for discrimination at the oldest of great American universities was probably demolished yesterday with an absolute finality. The overseers of Harvard University, after hearing the report of the special committee on admissions appointed last June, indicted a program making toward the freest and fairest, possible selection of students. They decided to maintain the university's "traditional policy of freedom from discrimination on grounds of race or religion." They decided that "all members of the freshmen class shall reside and board in the freshman halls, except those who are permitted by the dean of Harvard College and live elsewhere," and added "nor shall any man be excluded by reason of his color." They recommended changes in entrance requirements calculated to facilitate the admission of students from the south and west. They abolished preference for sons of graduates. No discrimination is now to be exercised except the discrimination in favor of intellect.
The Effect of Prohibition Upon Children, Girls and Women
ONE OF THE NOW LAMENTABLE effects of the many evils of the prohibition system is the spread of drunkenness among classes that were never touched in the worst phases of the open saloon.
HERE, as elsewhere, are to be found the mischievous workings of the distorted theories of the prohibition reformers when put to practical tests.
WHAT IS NOW in mind is the remarkable increase in the use of the worst forms of intoxicants, in the worst possible manner, among children, young girls and women.
With this sweeping pronouncement must end for the time at lease, and probably for a comparative eternity, talk of limiting the number of Jews at Harvard. Discrimination against Negro students will similarly cease. Harvard will stand forth conspicuously as an institution that has met a difficult problem with frankness, and solved it without shifting or equivocation.
THE EVIDENCE on this score is ample and incontestable. It is encountered with frightful frequency in the records of the courts and in the columns of the daily press.
IS ATTEMPTED prohibition enforcement responsible for this state of affairs? If no, why? An attempt will be made to give the answers.
For Harvard the result cannot be anything but good. The theory of the superiority of races has never shown promise of a happy life in America. It goes against the larger spirit in which the nation was born, or against the spirit into which it has grown. And if there is one place in the nation which should be sanctuary against such a doctrine it is the university. For higher education supposedly means an untrammeled curiosity, the greatest possible variety of intellectual contacts, the broadest possible mental view of life. It cannot mean these things in the fullest sense if it accepts the unproved theory that men of certain races are automatically inferior to men of other races, or unfit to associate with them. Its standards must be logical, not prejudicial. It must judge its prospective members, as individuals seeking intellectual training. To do otherwise is to pay the penalties of lost talent, false pride, a circumscribed outlook, an oppressive intellectual atmosphere.
THE most touching characteristic of childhood is that of unquestioned confidence in the elders of the family. Whatever they do is not only right, but to be imitated, and the imitative tendency is carried out with a perfection seldom achieved by the most consummate actors on the stage.
EVERY "REFORMER" KNOWS of this unquenchable spirit of childhood, and almost all have written of it in merited praise. So there can be no question of the fact itself, nor of the far-reaching influence of family practises and customs on the plant mind of the child.
IN MANY INSTANCES prohibition has not only taken the use of liquor from the saloon to the house, but its manufacture from the distillery and brewery of the kitchen and collar, thus bringing it within the preview of the child's own world, joining with the intimacies of the life to which he has given his fullest loyalty and unquestioning approval.
Harvard decided wisely not to pay these penalties. She will be richer and nobler for her decision. But she has done something more than benefit herself; she has rendered the entire matter one of the most important of possible educational and social services. At Harvard the battle of liberalism and democracy has been fought for dozens, perhaps hundreds, of other American universities. Vicious and growing practices will be checked in more states than Massachusetts. Public feeling everywhere will be influenced. The much publicity in newspapers and magazines over the question of how a university should choose her students; of discrimination in schools and in general. Here is an emphatic answer from the institution prominent above all others in the discussion. It is bound to be powerful in reshaping the minds of Americans, disturbed in a period of world uneasiness and suffering, as to the ideals of their country and the kind of conduct in harmony with such ideals.
THERE ARE ALL SHADES from this extreme picture of the extent to which Volsteadism has been effective in transferring the indulgence in intoxicants from the saloon to the home. In any case, just to the extent to which any phenomenon becomes a part of the household life, to that extent will there be an insolvable reaction on the life of the child, with the very language infobly imprinted on the indicate phonographic disk, and the scenes photographed on the sensitized photographic plates of the St. Martin.

ASHIVER of fear traversed John Walton's spine as he saw the dim shadowy figures before him and realized what they meant to do to him. Just for the fraction of a second, however. Quickly rallying his powers he intuitively saw that his one chance of escape lay in putting as bold a face on the matter as possible. He remembered having read somewhere that mobs are composed of cowards and bullies—men who would not think of facing an opponent alone, except when victory seemed certain. The only way to treat with the mob, the same thought told him, was either to amuse it in some spectacular-way, or to face it without the least show of fear, as an experienced trainer of wild beasts. Once show the least sign of cowardice and you are lost. Luckily, he had a revolver. This gave him added confidence. But they were at least six to one, and might there not be at least one gun in the party?
at least one gun in the party?
All of this reasoning flashed through his brain with lightning rapidity. Although taken eback with the suddenness of the attack, he had been rehearsing something of a similar nature in his mind for the past week, and the decision had been made in a second. His first impulse was to shoot straight at the flashlight, but the fear of possible revenge on his mother and grandfather deterred him. No, he must try to escape without taking life, if possible. He said in a dry, steely staccato: "Stand still, boys. Not a move. The first man that moves is a dead man. I have you covered." He stepped quickly out of the beam of light, thus getting a better view of his opponents.
He thought he saw a movement as if some one were leveling a gun.
"Come on," he said sharply in the same firm voice. "I mean what I say. I am pointing straight at Jim Stewart's eye. I shoot at three. He began to count rapidly: "One! Two—"
"Stop! Stop! Hen, Josh. Bill! For God's sake, stop! screamed Jim Stewart. He knew that John would be as good as his word. "Don't shoot me, John," he whined, "we're only joking." The little band stopped short.
"I've a great mind to shoot you anyway, Jim," said John in mock rage.
"We all jes' came to tell you good-bye," whined someone.
"I know it!" "Come laughed, grimly. "Come here, Jim Stewart," he commanded. "Remember, I have your right eye covered, one false move and you'll never eat another piece of sow belly, or go with Kitty Dugald any more. I can see you right now lying on Campbell's undertaking slab all dressed up ready for the worms. Hurry up!" Jim Stewart advanced trembling. "Now turn that light round, and let me see the members of this farewell committee. John scanned the little party.
"Hello Will, and Hen, and Bill! Why Josh, you're here tool. So you all came to see me off and josh me a little, oh? Quite a nice little farewell party. I should say. Before I shake hands with you, Hen. I'll ask you to drop that shotgun. Oh, anywhere. At your feet will do. Will Stewart, I think I'll take that rawhide whip as a souvenir. Just drop it, right there. I'll get it later. Thank you, Will." The lads, all of whom were about John's age, looked like a pack of whipped curt. "Now, boys," continued John, blithely, "have you any knives or guns? Turn your pockets out and let's see. Move quick, I'd hate to have my finger胶 on this trigger."
The little group moved with alacrity. Pocket-knives, cartridges, and coins fell to the road. "Now take off your coats and drop them right in your tracks."
They did no. "Good," continued John, "since you're all so kind as to come and see me off, I'm not going to disappoint you. Come, one by one, and tell me how sorry you all are to see me go. You first, Jim."
Each advanced and shook John's hand. "Good-bye, all of you," said John in a storm, but kindly voice. "Tve never done you anything, have I? Haven't I tried to be a gentleman all along. Didn't we all get along pretty well as little boys. Why should you be against me now?
"I'm only a poor Negro, trying to get along. No need to be jealous of me. I harm to

strive like the devil for whatever I get. You, as white men, can get what you want with a thousandth part of the trouble I had. Put in the time you use up in thinking how to keep us colored folks back doing something for yourselves and you'll be so far ahead of us you won't be able to see us. Now, you may all go. Good-bye and good-luck. You may return for your things in half an hour—not before. I may be somewhere's 'round here." "John, can I say something', said a voice.
"Sure, Hen."
"I reckon you're right, John. I'm sorry."
"Me, too." piped another voice.
"That's all right. Go along now. First give me that light. Good-bye."
The six young men left.
"The idea of yo' apologisn' to that niggah," he heard some one say with an oath in a low voice.
This made John think of possible danger to his mother and grandmother. He shouted through the darkness: "Remember, boys, no nonsense, or I will sneak back some night and make a Swiss cheese of somebody."
Taking the gun, the cart-ridges and the knives, he pitched them into the woods. He then picked up his grip and continued his way, thinking deeply upon the incident.
"They're to be pitted rather than consured," he said half aloud. "They were brought up that way. When their parents and even the machinery of the state—the entire South—conspire to instill into this very sort of thing, how can you expect any batter?" Taking out his revolver he kissed it:
"God bless you, little gat" he said, "you sure saved my life that time."
John stumbled his way through the dark pine forest giving zow and then a thought to the lads he had left behind. He came into a clearing at last, and looking at his watch by the moon, which had recently risen, he saw it was a quarter to two. He would be at the station in another hour at least, which would mean a wait of an hour or more for the train. A strange presentiment warned him of danger. What if the returning lads had aroused the village. He was afoot, and the possse could easily overtake him at the station. The safest way, he decided, was to reach Atlanta some other way; on foot, if necessary. When he reached the cross-roads, instead of going to the station, he struck out boldly to the left until he reached the highway leading to the city.
On and on, he trudged in the bracing morning air. The sun was just rising over the tops of the pine-clad hills, making the dew-drops on the grass sparkle like myriads of diamonds. The dew-laden cobwebs on the ripening corn hung like glistening strings of amethysts. The birds were singing and the air was redolent with the perfume of early autumn. How beautiful it was! John Walton's heart was heavy within him as he realized he was leaving this beautiful country, the scene of many happy childhood hours, perhaps never to return.
"What a pity it is," he murmured, "that some of our white folks are so bad and cruel. What a paradise the Southland would be to live in. Every prospect pleases and only man is in vile. Oh if they would only forget their unreasonable hatred of us and let us all join hands, for the common good.
CHAPTER V
how happy we all, black and white, would be."
Several automobiles passed him, almost stifling him with dust. Presently a wagon that had just passed stopped and the driver called out:
"Jump up if yo' like. How far you goin?"
Running up, John thanked the driver and got up beside him.
"I am going to Atlanta," said John.
"I see goin' to Kingland, about six miles from thee," said the driver, starting up his wagon. "Yu' can ketch a trolley cyar from thee right into Atlanta."
"Say, Ah jes' come from Eas' Brighton. A great big mob is waiting for the train from Eaton for a nigger who thou claims robbed some white folks in Beckenridge woods." "Did you hear what the Negro looked like?" "Tall dak', lightly suit, and brown hat, I huh'd sumbody say."
John realized what a narrow escape he had had. Coming to the station and not finding him the mob had telegraphed to East Brighton, the station ahead! Would any harm come to his mother and her aged father? He bitterly reproached himself for having exposed them to danger and took a solomon oath to take revenge if any harm befall them. He thought it best, to say nothing of this to the driver, and quickly changed the subject. He had been passing a good many deserted cabins. Pointing to one he asked? "Gone North?" "Sho' is a scandal how ouch people is goin' Noth. I'd like to git away myself, but Ah kaint. Ah has two boys in Chicago, and then say they like it." They rode on chatting about the migration to the North. Presently the driver said:
"See that big poplar thet? Thék lynched a white man them three, foh yeahs back. What foh do you think?"
"Attacking a colored girl!" "Ha! Ha!!" laughed the other as the idea tickled him. "Et théh was to do that roun' heath the white folks would sho' run short o' rope. He! He!"
"What did they lynch him for then? Offering to marry one after he had wronged her?"
"Taint that nuther," he laughed, "but it's about us culld folks jee' the same. Twas a wite man from the No'th, a labor agent who was recruitin' men for the shipya'ds and animation factries during the las' war."
"I remember it! No one was caught!"
"Ain't dese wite folks beat anythin' yu' evah saw. Theh fuss and fuss cause we're here. Yu'd think the heb be glad when we leave. But no. the thighs fight to keep us. We ain't and yet we is. Kain yu' beat that?"
And he went on chatting, on various subjects. John did not hear him. He was burted in thoughts of home and his narrow escape.
At last they reached Kingsland. "Follow this road a piece and you'll hit the cyar," said the man.
CHAPTER VI
Arriving in Atlanta John's first thought was of his mother. After racking his brain for some time he at last solved the problem by writing the postman and asking him to telegraph him the latest news, under an assumed name. Early next morning he received a reassuring reply, and buying a ticket he started northward that afternoon.
All the remainder of that day and night he sped on in the Jim-Crow car until he reached Washington. Here he had to change cars.
He went to the car nearest the engine and entered. He saw only white people within. Stealing quickly out again to the ground he met a colored porter.
"Where do I ride?" he asked.
With a rapid glance of appraisal, the porter terked:
"Wherever you want. You ain't South any more."
Seeing him hesitate, the porter said, as he hurried off:
"Get in here. Anywhere."
Taking off his hat, John entered the coach. All the seats nearest the window were taken. There were several Negroes in the car, and John seated himself beside a white man. At Baltimore this man got off and another white man came and sat by him. After riding in some silence, the man said:
"Going to Philly."
"No, sir, Nortonville, Connecticut."
"I know several of your people in Philly."
"Philly."
"Philadelphia. Is this your first trip this way?"

ALL NIGHT I am tossing and dreaming
Awaiting the break of the day;
All night the bright moonbeams are streaming
On me, O, beloved, where I lay.
The tides in my heart are conspiring
To draw ferth your soul unto mine;
O dark eyes my soul is desiring
To take you and make you divine.
I will take you away from your island,
I'll take you away to mine own;
Black maiden for you I'll bring my canoe
My heart you shall take as your throne,
The bamboos they're bending and sighing,
And waiting for you neath the shade;
Wild woods are speaking, palm fronds are seeking
The morn winds have heard what they said.
I am taking the path thro' the meadow,
The pathway that leads to the bay;
I'll pass 'neith the celba trees' shadow.
Ere dawn turns the blue mountains gray.
Your isle I shall reach in the even
When skies turn to gold in the West;
And under the bright stars of heaven
I'll lull you to sleep on my breast.
Mine isle is the best in the Carib Sea,
So come from your cabin I pray;
Here I am waiting, slip thro' the grating,
And come down to me in the bay.
Sleep while we glide in the moonbeams to rest;
And dream of our isle o'er the sea;
Death cannot sever the love that forever
Will blind me, black malden, to thee.

"I was down South many years ago, through Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, and some other States and I am puzzled to know who the white people there liked least, Negroes or Northerners. In many places I found that they were forgotten that the war, of 1865, mean, was over."
There was something frank, open and kindly about the man that John told. He told him about his role.
"You'll find prejudice in the North, too," said the stranger, "but your chances are better. The Northern white man doesn't expect you to be always howing to him and flattering his color, always taking off your hat in his presence, and sir-sing him. You needn't get off the sidewalk when you see him coming, either, as you have to do in part of the South. You have more chances to be a man. Let me give you a piece of advice. Hold up your head while you are in the North."
John thanked him for the advice.
Lunch was announced. He was hungry.
"Where can I get something to eat," he asked the waiter.
"Got the price of a meal?"
"Yes."
"If you're willing to spend it, follow me."
John followed him to the dining car, but hung back at the sight of the white faces within.
"Come on," urged the waiter, holding up one finger. The steward stepped briskly forward and conducted him to a seat.
John sat down and glanced uneasily around at the other diners. No one was noticing him; all were acting just as if he weren't there. The steward and the water were treating him with the utmost respect.
How impossible would such a thing have been in his own state! he reflected.
The meal proved to be the most expensive one he had ever paid for, but he felt that it was worth the price. The respect showed him made him feel more like a man, more

like his ideal characters in fiction. He felt a new strange power stealing over him, as he recalled how he had had to crawl to white people like a slave all his live. He remembered his hard up-hill fight to get an education under those trying circumstances. He felt like one who had suddenly seen a great light.
"If all the North is like this," he said triumphantly, "I am going to show the white folks back home what a black boy can do when he gets a near chance."
Arriving at Nortonville, he went over to the university the next morning. A student on the campus directed him to the registrar's office. The registrar started with surprise when he saw him.
"Are you John Walton?" he gasped.
John presented his credentials. On glancing at them the registrar greeted him cordially and congratulated him on his success. He turned him over to assistant who, after the necessary formalities, assigned him to his class.
Promising the assistant to be present in the assembly hall the next morning, John stepped into the outer office. suddenly he stopped, petrified with amazement, as he came face to face with a tall young man of elegant appearance in a well-fitting brown suit of expensive material. The young man appeared not a whit less surprised at the encounter, but while the look of John's face quickly-changed to joy that on the newcomer's turned to sickly disgust.
John stepped forward to greet him.
"How in the davil did you get here," demanded the other in a voice surcharged with anger.
"Why! Why! —," Stam mered John, stopping short.
