HOLMES Topic of His Discourse "True Religion — the Negroes' Hope"; Renaissance Casino Filled. With the topic, "True Religion—the Negro's Hope," the Rev. John Haynes Holmes, leading spirit of the Community Church movement, addressed a large gathering of Harlem liberals, at the Renaissance Casino Sunday night. True religion as defined by Dr. Holmes was the recognition of the fact that all men, regardless of race or religion, are members of the great human race, and as such are entitled to equality of treatment. "I am not interested in the Negro because he is a Negro," he said, "but because he is a man. I long from the bottom of my heart for the day when we want talk of black or white. Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant, but of just one children of the living God." Present day religion, he declared, was one of the foremost agencies in creating differences among mankind, "Religion," he said, "which ought to unite all men is now the leading dividing influence. People go to their separate churches and utter their separate shibboleths. Community churches declare that the duty of religion is the unification of the human race. Any ideas, racial or otherwise, that breaches divisions among mankind are so low-down that you can't see any horizon." Dr. Holmes declared himself as being for a heaven here an earth, and not one in the skies. "The Jews," he said, "had no ideas of immortality, apart from a dim shadowy existence somewhere in the earth. The prophets of old also had their eyes fixed on the earth. Jesus himself talked of an organization right here on earth—of the time when the kingdom of heaven would be established here on earth—when kings and emperors would be overthrown. Now we are coming back to the ideas of the prophets and of Jesus and are again transferring heaven to earth. Jesus was talking of the new society of a future condition on earth whenever he spoke of a future life. Ideas to the contrary regarding a future state are more and more regarded superstition." Dr. Holmes paid a high tribute to the Negro folk songs and declared that there was "something innately deeper than theology in them. The only hope the Negro could have for freedom at that time was after death—for a manSION somewhere in the aken." he said. "The Negro race is but a part of the human race therefore the hope of the Negro is the hope of humanity—of that better day, when the new social order predicted by Jesus shall have been established here on earth." Mrs. W. A. Domingo rendered a skillful piano solo, while the Rev. R. M. Nhealred Brown, pastor of the Harlem Community Church, and Mrs. Brown, sang a duet. HALEM LANDLORD SENT TO JAIL Louis Klein, 44, of 616 Lexon avenue, a butcher and owner of an apartment house at 48 East 128th street, last week was Sued $250 and sentenced to ten days in the workhouse for failure to supply sufficient heat and hot water to his tenants last March. He bought the house at that time, and, according to evidence brought out in the Court of Special Session, he offered his tenants $100 if they would move out so he could rent the fate to ordered people and get more money. The tenants refused to move, they said, and Klein immediately raised the price: 100 per cent, it is alleged, and shut off the heat. "If you want heat," he told them, according to the testimony, "go and live on Riveride Drive, where they furnish it."

MOTON THREATENED TUSKEGEE, ALA., May 15.—(Special to The Amsterdam News)—Things are in a muddle here over the Veterans' Hospital situation, following President Harding's order that the hospital for colored men disabled in the World War is to be manned from top to bottom by Negroes. The buildings and grounds are being guarded night and day and a double guard has been thrown around the residence of Dr. Robert R. Moton, the principal. It is reported that the situation has become so acute that Dr. Moton does not even answer his own telephone. The present unprecedented exodus of the Negro from the South is creating awe and terror among the more sane and sober of the white race. The fact that the most dependable and economical labor supply is being lured away in such quantities is not a pleasant subject to anticipate. Thousands of the "blue bloods" who have never anguaged in work of any character may now be compelled to fill in the breach caused by the departure of the Negro. In spite of this fact, however, the great majority of the white newspapers of the South are content to seek to convince the Negro that he is making a great mistake by leaving. Editorials, under such headings as "Riding the Pale Horse," "Negro Death hate Much Higher in the North," "The Mistake of the Black Man," "The South and the Negro," have appeared with great frequency in the newspapers of this section of the country. It must be said, however, that as the ineffectiveness of this propaganda has become apparent, that more comprehensive methods have been reported to. In a very genuine sense the Negro's opportunity seems to have arrived, for all occasions of the country need him and need him badly. Under the economic urease, all other considerations give way. Of course, this migration will nationalise rather than localise the race question. No one can state with absolute finality whether this is or is not best for all parties concerned. But this we do know, that the South is jealous of its Negroes and desire to keep them here. If the Negro can prove now his industrial value he ought to adjust himself readily to the changed environment of the North and the West. A great future will then await him. Meanwhile, the anxious South freely predicts his failure in his Northern refuge. Should that prediction come true, and be compelled to return to the South, the south will treat him worse than ever before. Therefore, he must make good. CHAEL S. BATCHEW, WORRIE CHARLES SATCHELL.

Shelden, Secretary of the Convention, that he cannot be responsible for treatment which may be accorded them by the people of Washington.

The hotel management said no threat had been made to prevent colored delegates from attending meetings in the hotel, but that no accommodations can be given such delegates at the hotel.

J., May 16.—The Harding Administration's "deference to the whims and wishes of the South" is condemned in lengthy resolutions adopted here by Negro Republican leaders from all over the State, which demand of the Republican party widespread reformation designed to give the Negro fuller recognition. Indignation at what were considered alights said to have been suffered by the Negro population of the larger States at the hands of the Harding Government was expressed in an amendment to a general resolution, which was voted down after a heated debate. Dr. Walter G. Alexander of Newark, wi. with T. Thomas Fortune of Trenton, editorial writ- for Negro publications, led the fight in advocacy of the amendment's adoption, epitomized what appeared to be the meeting's sentiment when he declared with angry emphasis that "If Harding is going to play with the South, he can't play with us." A general resolution embodying criticisms of the following alleged shortcomings of the President and the Republican party was finally adopted: Deference to the whims and wishes of the South; failure to name Negroes to apportative positions because of Democratic Senators' objections; silenced enforcement of the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendment, enfranchising the Negro and legalizing the income tax. The resolution included these suggestions: A change in the policies of the state leaders of the Republican party, appointment of Negro representation on the State Republican Committee and candidacy of at least one Negro for Congress from New Jersey. DISCRIMINATION IN N. Y. SCHOOL CIRCLES Rank discrimination against colored New York City school teachers is alleged to have been unavowed in this city by a representative of the Crusader Service.

When the case of Grace Gray, 25, 240 W. 140th street, was called for a hearing on a charge of disorderly conduct in Jefferson Market Court, Friday, she failed to appear. Patrolman Charles Jiahlowsky, W. 32th street station, stepped to the bench and told Magistrate Rytenberg that the defendant was unable to appear, having died of insanity in Bellevue Hospital soon after her arrest. He told the judge the woman was arrested by him on Sixth avenue and 42nd street, early Tuesday morning, evidently suffering from intoxication. The woman, he said, had terrorised pedestrians along that thoroughfare on their way to work by pummeling them as they passed down by the forces of her blows. He said she stood in a halldoor and desided his efforts to dislodge her. The woman was so hysterical that he sent her to Bellevue, where it was established she had suddenly gone insane from drinking "bootleg" liquor obtained in a W. 32th street hallway. The magistrate, after the submission of this testimony, dismissed the complaint and the papers were filed among the records. No relative of the woman could be found, the officer stated, as she was said to have lived alone at that address.

YOU CAN BUY AND SELL MOST ANYTHING IN THE AMSTERDAM NEWS STARATHLETE KILLED IN COLD BLOOD ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 14 (Special).—"Moonshine" liquor, lax laws and bad company, are blamed for the murder here this morning of Hilton Kimbro, 25, former star of the Vandal A. C. basketball team, and a runner up for equal honors in baseball, as member of the Bacharach Giants. Kimbro was murdered in cold blood, while sitting in a chair dozing early this morning, in the rear of a saloon, in which he was a frequent habitat. Eyewitnesses declare the crime was most brutal and cowardly done, by John Coles, with whom the murdered man had been un友riendly for many years. Accounts of the crime, picture a living and vivid tragedy. Coles, so the story goes, walked into the saloon, where he earlier had been drinking heavily, armed with a 44 calibre automatic police revolver and said to his intended victim: "I'm going to kill you!" Kimbro, opened his eyes, and said: "Go ahead and kill me!" Before the words had left his lips, the murderer pulled the trigger of his automatic, and five shots rang out in quick succession. Three of the bullets took effect; one in the heart, one in the chest and the other in the head of the murdered man. Dying, he sank to the concrete floor of the place, and could not even mumble a word of prayer. When the ambulance arrived from the hospital, he was breathing his last and died before it reached its destination. After committing the crime, Coles, waited in the saloon and was arrested and taken to a cellipe appeared to be indifferent and unconscious over the deed; gaited at his victim, as he lay on the floor with blood flowing freely from his wounds, his weapon in his right hand, resting lightly upon the bar. It is believed the man will sign insultly, when he comes up for trial. Several years ago, he shot his wife and, recently, attempted to take his own life. On each occasion he managed to have a sentence delayed and finally arranged from the records. For six years, Emma played on the Vandal basketball team and is well known in the Indian section of the country. He had offers from Loandil, of Pittsburgh and Commonwealth of New York, just year but refused both offers. He starred with the Boobeecee Giants at second base two seasons. He was a World War veteran, having served as a member of the 25th Infantry. Tenants Allege That Landlady Fired Four Shots at Them After Failing Fifteen Times to Bring About Dispossess in the Court.

Wilson asked that a ball of $2,000 be set in order that his client, Mrs. Cooper, may be protected from further attack. According to Attorney, J. A.

Jackson, Director of School of Public Health, Objects to Statements Issued by Government Office Concerning Vital Statistics of Negro Migrants to North WASHINGTON. D., C., May 14. A. B. Jackson, former Surgeon-in-Chief of the Mercy Hospital of Philadelphia, now Director of the School of Public Health of Howard University, has taken exception to the recent statements issued by the U. S. Census Bureau regarding the probable effect upon the Negro in America as result of his continued migration from the South to northern sections of the United States. In connection with this whole matter Dr. Jackson has the following to say: "It may and it may not be the duty of the census bureau to regulate interstate migration, but I very seriously question its right and duty to draw definite conclusions from halt truths, appearing thereby to assume a somewhat velled spirit of propaganda. Just at the present moment much national concern is being manifested regarding an alleged labor shortage in the United States and its relation to foreign immigration and interstate migration of the Negro. And now the health question of the Negro is injected into the issue." "The census bureau gives out the following statement—evidently intended to discourage Negro migration to the North. In every one of the northern states Negro deaths in the five years, 1915-1919, outnumbered births; in the southern states, in general, the conditions are reversed." As I write this I have before me a table showing the ratio between deaths and births for colored people, and I take from it four northern states and four southern states and find the above statement is not altogether true. In three northern states there is an excess of birth rate over death rate and one shows excess death rate. In the four southern states exactly the same situation is found. "The sickness and death rate of the Negro is too high, higher than it should be for the good of both the Negro and America, yet both are to blame for the condition. However, let all be said that may be, every year shows a steady decline in the Negro death rate: for example let us take Washington, D. C., a border line city between north and south. The death rate of Washington from 1900 to 1920 decreased from 29.5 to 20.6 per 1,000. all causes considered including the recent influenza epidemic. Taking a large group of northern and southern cities for comparison, it is interesting to note that in every instance the urban death rate for Negroes is always lower in the north than in the south. "While we recognize and admit that the whole Negro death rate, especially his infant mortality is too high, there are many extinguating circumstances which enter as casual, factors—and we are "Every day finds Negroes coming north, and they will continue to come until the south finds some way to make more equitable adjustment of its social and economic fabric to the ordinary rules of the game of humanity and human tolerance. They come bringing with them their problems, increasing our many vexing problems in the north, but they also come bearing gifts, and what is the weight of a perplexing problem, compared to the realization of a soul set free? They come, they sicken, they die, but what does that matter? A race as well as an army in transit must leave death in its wake, for in every struggle for liberty throughout the world's history human flesh and blood have paid the toll to obtain that freedom which makes death a pleasure—a privilege." DR. A. B. JACKSON. Howard University. exerting every possible energy to overcome them—we must confess we have no fears that the race is theratened with extinction. If the south loses its Negro laborers that is the south's business. A talk with any migrant will convince you that each had a very definite reason for leaving the south, and strange to say all of them cite the same causes, another instance in which Negro opinion is a unit. Migration is a blow struck at the very heart of the south, more potent than any other the Negro could wield, and this signifies the development of a new race consciousness, a race intelligence and their accompanying majesty of calmness and polise, which builds hope upon subtle retreat rather than upon riot and bloodshed." "Every day finds Negroes coming north, and they will continue to come until the south finds some way to make a more equitable adjustment of its social and economic fabric to the ordinary rules of the games of humanity and human tolerance. They come bringing with them their problems, increasing our many vexing problems in the north, but they also come bearing gifts, and what is the weight of a perplexing problem compared to the realization of a soul set free? They come, they sicken, they die, but what does that matter? A race as well as an army in transit must leave death in its wake, for in every struggle for liberty throughout the world's history human flesh and blood have paid the toll to obtain that freedom which makes death a pleasure—a privilege. (Preston News Service.) KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 14. The bust of the statue of the late Booker T. Washington, made last summer b Robert E. Bell, 2146 E. 24th street, Negro painter and sculptor, who knew and admired Washington, has been exhibited to view. The status itself, with a base, will be eight feet high. The plaster of paris model will be taken by Mr. Bell to New York City very soon, where it will be cast in bronze. A movement started by Mrs. Louis-Austin, 1311 Woodland avenue, to place the statue on a pedestal in the sunken gardens at 18th street and the Passo, has been endorsed by most of the colored churches and organizations here. 1700 ROSEWALD SCHOOLS ESTABLISHED HAMPTON, Va., May 14.—B.

Saunders, a physician, living at 302 South End street, was ordered to be turned over to the grand jury last Tuesday afternoon, under bond of $600, on a charge of violating the anti-marcotic laws. Dr. Saunders was arrested last Monday morning at his office by detectives who said they had received information that he had been selling narcotics. A small quantity of cocaine, morphine and strychnine were found on Saunders when arrested. He could not produce a government receipt showing he procured the drugs legally and was taken to police headquarters. He testified that he bought a medicine case from another doctor several months ago and found the drugs in the case. Rev. Charles E. Stewart, presiding elder of the A. M. E. Church, delivered the address of the evening.

From a financial standpoint it was a big success, but in the process of an elimination for a worthy contender for championship honors it was the stalkingest of bunks ever perpetrated on the Barnum-like idiots applauding the efforts of an un- gainly lumberjack and an inexperienced youth. In moments when excitement was at its highest pitch Harry Wills almost laughed himself sick to see the two men selected to fight for a chance to meet Jack Dempsey and all the colored men at the stadium on last Saturday joined with Wills in the roar of ridicule. Every bout staged by the whites in these days to find a man to face Dempsey can be considered in the nature of an elimination bout—a bout to eliminate the most logical contender from the chance which should be his, and that contender is none other than Wills. The few white writers whose vision remains unblurred by prejudice are now advocating that a Wille-Firpo fight would be the only fight leading to a championship contest, and in this we heartily agree, but even if such a fight could be arranged it is no certainty that Jack Kearns and Jack Dempsey will stop trying to find a way to evade a match with Wills. Even Mr. Muldoon, who announced once that he was coming to our Young Men's Christian Association to "give a talk" but was dissuaded when we came out and asked him just what he had to tell us after barring Wills, is to the fore again in helping to keep the colored fighter from meeting Dempsey and we hope that our readers will remember that the age limit thing was evoked in the case of Jack Johnson but forgotten in the case of Jae Willard. A Willard-Firpo fight is the other force planned by Tex Rickard for the unsuspecting dupes. Speaking on this phase of the matter on Monday Harry Newman of the Daily News says: "The boys are hotfooting it all over the place trying to rig up a fight between Jess Willard and Lub Angel Firpo. That won't do. The mere fact that the elumay old Kansas farmer knocked off a guy like Floyd Johnson should not be taken too seriously. Why, that man Firpo would knock the venerable Mr. Willard bandylegged in a few rounds, if they ever happen to clash. "Willard showed in his jam with Johnson at the Yankee Stadium Saturday afternoon that he was through. Sure enough, he beat Johnson, but what of it? Johnson can't fight a lick and Willard could not help himself from winning. "Willard is but a shadow of the man who fought Jack Johnson, and against that "Tiper Man" he would be like a child."

The Board of Governors of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States, the final court of appeals on amateur athletic matters in this country, has sustained the decision of the national registration committee or the parent body, which, acting in accordance with the wishes of the American Olympic Committee, decided not to grant permission to any American athletes to compete abroad prior to the Olympic games in Paris next year. Announcement of the decision of the Board was made from Boston last night by President William C. Prest, who said that this decision, arrived at after all of the arguments for and against foreign competition by Americans this year was placed before the 122 Governers, with a total of 112 votes, represents the general feeling in the United States, as the Governers who have voted on the question are spread over the wheels, country from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. While the mail votes does not officially close until June 6, a special request accompanied the vote asking for an immediate reply, by telegraph if necessary, in order that the result might be known. Before May 15, the date on which the Women's Swimming Association of New York contemplated having three of its champion swimmers leave for England for a two month swimming tour, sufficient votes have been received to defeat the appeal, and the result could not be altered even if every one of the outstanding votes opposed sustaining the decision. For the appeal to be successful, a two-thirds vote of the Governors voting, would be necessary. The vote when announced last night stood as follows: $84\%$ votes to sustain the decision and $16\%$ votes to receive the decision. LEARN TO DANCE Prof. Chas. H.

The American play has just been translated into French by Bourgeols and will be produced at the Odeon. The title role will be played by a Soudanese named Bengila. He has a good education and speaks refined French, having studied at Oran, Algeria. Clara Lapercarie, director of the Renaissance Theatre, discovered Bengila before the war and gave him minor parts in various plays of Oriental coloring. Since then Bengila has appeared with success in a number of productions under Gemier, the director of the Odeon. "The Emperor Jones," done into French, will be staged at the Odeon under Gemier's management after its performance at the presidential residence. Benglia, who married a Hiadu girl, has acted in several screed plays and is also a clever dancer.

"THE OLD HOMESTEAD" Perhaps the most remarkable storm scene ever pictured on the screen, is that which spreads terror in, and practically destroys an entire village erected for, "The Old Homestead," a Paramount picture directed with signal success by James Cruze. Twenty powerful wind machines, alided by a fire engine, were employed. Twenty wind machines and a four-inch pipe line with a fire engine pumping the water from a nearby river, over a distance of three-quarteres of a mile, formed part of the equipment for producing the greatest storm scene that has ever been filmed. According to experts, this Paramount picture which comes to the Franklin Theatre next Thursday entailed a greater amount of ingenuity and difficult work for all concerned than almost any picture that has been made.

This time the show is headed by Marshall Rogers, who is ably assisted by Clifford Ross and Ernest Whitman. Susie Sutton and Alice Gorgas also continues with the show and doing their usual good work. A sprightly chorus adds to the entertainment, while others, still with the cast, include Allie Burgoyne, Jerry Mills, the Loggett sisters, Iola Young, Bob Bramlett, Walter Brosdale. Al Curtia, Zordale La Rue, Leonard Burton, Robert Thornton, Fred Vanghan, Ross Crawford. The usual midnight performance will be staged on Friday night.

"Get Set" is the title of the new piece which comes to us headed by Joe Bright, Ida Anderson, Joe Russell, Lawrence Chenant and a host of others well known in the profession. As a special feature with the production, Ethel Waters, blues singer, has been engaged and will be assisted by Ethel Williams with Pearl Wright at the piano. This new production will be making its first bid for popular approval at the Lafayette, and Harlem first-nighters will again be given a chance to pass upon another colored show heading for the Big White Way. Joe Bright is authority for the announcement that one of the fastest singing choruses has been seured to lend added color to a show which, he says, will be replete with funnyisms from start to finish. A matinee will be in order every day, while the usual midnight performance will be given on Friday night. Colored Dramatists Present "Comedy of Errors" Another Folk Play by Rickardson on the Same Bill at the Frazee Theatre On Monday, May 14, the Ethiopian Art Theatre presented Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors" at the Frazee Theatre. This play, rarely seen here, is being done to a jesus band accompaniment in a manner arrestingly different from the classical fashion to which we are accustomed. Raymond O'Neill, the director and founder of this Negro theatre, included it in the repertory of his theatre because his players, so it is said, on a first reading of the play, showed a strong impulse from the start to appropriate Shakespeare's lines and situations to their own vigorous humor, to give its character a strong native interpretation, and even to improvise on them. In giving them their originality and humor, O'Neill feels that they keep intact the robust, even wild spirit of Shakespeare's comedy. On the same bill is another folk play by Willis Richardson, the author of "The Cloe Woman's Fortune," which is called "The Broken Sario." Young Pianist First Colored Girl to Receive Artist Diploma From Institute of Musical Art Senora Tallay, a member of the faculty of the Martin-Smith Mpic School Inc, has successfully passed with honor the examinations required by the Institute of Musical Art of which Dr. Frank Dumosch is director, to receive the highest recognition this school offers. The examiners who awarded the diplomas were Harold Baser, Mme. Hilly May, Brent Hutchison and Wilhelm Bachsch. While many other offered students have completed the regular course and a few the teachers and public school courses, she is the first to receive the artist diploma. Miss Talley is the daughter of Prod. and Mrs. Talley of Mashville, Town, where Prod. Talley has for many years been instructor of Science and Chemistry in Fluk University. A book of Negra poems by Prod. Talley was recently published by McMillan & Co., New York and has received world wide attention in literary circles. How Colored Players in Serious Drama Are Received on B'way WATCH THESE COLORED STARS Now on Sheedy Circuit Smith and Mills, old favorites known to the theatrical world, are now playing on the Sheedy Circuit having been recently booked for quite a run. This week they are at Fay's Theatre. Providence, R. L. with the Academy of Music in Fall River, Mass., to follow. Week of May 28th they will be at the Knickerbocker Theatre, Philadelphia, Pa. How the plays of the Ethiopian Art Theatre, under the direction of Raymond O'Nell, now appearing at the Frazey Theatre, just off Broadway, are being received may be gleaned from the comment of critics in the daily press of New York City. Heywood Broun, writing in the New York World says the first one act play, "The Chip Woman's Fortune" is "excellent." He continues: "Salome" can only be endurable as a play if given by actors endowed with a capacity for an enormous variety of tone. No player in the Ethiopian Art Company seemed so gifted. Miss Preer who is excellent in the short comedy is just fair as Salome. She has fire and beauty and a good voice, but she lets it trail off into singing tones. In the dance she fails completely. The head of Jokanaan goes too cheaply. He is beheaded for a daily dozen rather than a dance. The best performance in the Wilde play is that of Solomon Bruce who plays the Pronhet. There is enough promise in the company to make us eager to see the other plays which are in their repertoire. We want to see them in something which will free them from obligation, to mere sound. Indeed, we could go many times to see something just like "The Chip Woman's Fortune," which they played as a curtain raiser last night. James Craig writing in the daily Evening Mail believes that in selecting Oscar Wilde's "Salome," the director made a mistake. "In Evelyn Preer," he says, "he has found an actress of extraordinary ability and no little versatility, and his pardonable pride in her doubtless urged him to present her in a striking and bizarre vehicle. Miss Preer's attitude was daring enough in its scantiness, and in the famous Dance of the Seven Veils she managed to get along with but one, and that a very small one. In the famous scene with the prophet Jokanan she spoke with great fire and passion. She seemed, in fact, too fine an actress to be wasting her time with such decadent material. Solomon Bruce read Jokanan's lines with high effectiveness. Perhaps the most striking performance of all was that of Sidney Kirkpatrick as Herod. He gave greater emphasis to facial contortion and gesticulation than most white players, yet he managed to invest the drunken barbarian's role with such an admixture of bestiality, cunning and superstitious fear as to make it both terrifying and collincing. It is understood that the later numbers of the company's NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1923 Theatres and Other Amusements The growing popularity of the Martin-Smith Music School, Inc. was shown by the large crowd who attended the benefit concert for the school last Friday evening, in New Star Casino. The program was one of the most notable ever offered to the New York public. A military band played promenade'music while the guests were assembling. A children's orchestra of 50 and the symphony orchestra, chorus and solos were included. The music for the dance, which followed, was irresistible and was furnished by William H. Wiggins and 20 picked musicians. repertoire will go less heavily into the so-called classics. Burns Muntle, theatrical critic of the Daily News, which has the largest circulation in America, says: To do the colored players justice they give a remarkable exhibition in their performance of "Salome," ugly as it is. Their is an imitative art at best, in its present state of development. Only in the reading of their own most simple dramas are they able to create and sustain in approximately complete illusion. "In "The Chip Woman's Fortune," for instance, a one-act comedy written by a Negro author, Willis Robertson, they reveal as many flashes of a true historician art as their white contemporaries. But the minute they are plunged into the formal and foreign atmosphere of "Salome" they become alien performers seeking to counterfeit something they have heard spoken and seen performed. In spite of their handicaps the colored players are eager and attentive, earnest and emotionally responsive, and they evidently have been so carefully and patiently trained in diction and movement that there are moments when they become masters of the scenes. It would be a great pity if this Ethiopian Art Theatre were to fail for want of a proper folk drama to sustain it. Nor will it fail. But the less it has to do with the "Salome" sisterhood the better it will be for its people and its art. Meanwhile, let the Drama League and its minute credit men rush to the support of the Ethiopes—that we may have a chance to see what other and truer plays they have in their repertory. In the cast are: Arthur, Ray, Lionel Monagas, Lewis Alexander, Coy Applewhite, Charles Olden, Solomon Bruce, Evelyn Preer, Sydney Kirkpatrick, Laura Bowman, Charles Olden, George Jackson, Walter White, Arthur Thompson, Marion Taylor.

Thrills with trills and chills are promised, with the spectacled co-median performing the difficult task of climbing the side of a twelve story building and reaching the roof after overcoming the most hilarious and fearful hazards. And, although suffering part of the time from a disjointed shoulder, Harold declined to use a "double" at any stage of the production. Indeed, it will not require a close inspection to disclose this fact. This story has been heard so many times about a picture star that it is now old stuff, but this time it is an actual fact. Even the closest observers of picture productions will not find a single double-exposure, or uncover one scene in the entire seven reels of "Safety Last" that would tend to question the reality of the thrill scene. comedy moments and incidents that Harold Lloyd has ever put on the screen. In his role of a department store clerk, the spectacled comedian is absolutely at his best. He is the rollicking youth of "A Sailor Made Man"—just Harold Lloyd, himself." The production contains one of the most delightful love stories ever screened, with Mildred Davis, of course, being the young lady in the case. As the worshipping young man, Harold Lloyd puts all the famous screen lovers to shame and mingles sentiment with comedy, in a most charming manner. "Safety Last" can be truly said to be the greatest comedy ever produced. NEW RIVERVIEW PARK. Now preparing for the opening at the foot of West 141st street and Fifth avenue and Harlem River.

OFFERSTHE MECCA OF COLORED MUSICAL COMEDY ROSE BROWN—WALTER RICHARDSON—BONNIE CLARK—ELLA DEAS RUBY MASON—JESSIE LAWSON—EDNA MORTON—HILDA THOMPSON Stellar Cast Assembled For "Java Head" Leading Roles Played by Leatrice Joy, Jacqueline Logan, Raymond Hatton and Other Stars With a stellar cast seldom seen in a motion picture. George Melford's latest Paramount production, "Java Head," a picturization of Joseph Hergesheimer's celebrated novel, will be given an unusually fine presentation by Manager Snyder at the Lincoln Theatre next Thursday. "Java Head" is a photoplay of exceptional heart interest and appeal. The scenes are laid in China and in old Salem town in the late 40s, and the story deals with the trials and fortunes of a young sea captain and a Chinese girl of high station, who he marries in order to save her life at the hands of assassins. He brings his bride to his home town, where his old sweetheart is awaiting him. His interest in his Chinese wife lapses, and, when the latter awakens love in the heart of an opium amoker, dramatic developments ensue. The finale of the story, dramatic and tense, makes "Java Head" one of the strongest screen attractions produced in many a day. Leatrice Joy, whose work in "Manslaughter" won her much praise, plays the colorful role of "Taou Yen," the Chinese wife, Jacqueline Logan in an Nettle Vollar and Albert Roscoe plays Gerrit Ammidon, the leading male role. Raymond Hatton has the chief character role, that of an opium smoker, and George Fawcett has the part of Barzil Dunsack, an old sea captain. BRONX OPERA HOUSE 149th St. E. Phone Melrose 3220.

The Fair at Baldom in its history has the New Star Casino Roused a larger or more appreciative audience than that which enjoyed the program supplied by members of Guild Hall. The arrangement was started by Thelma Whitaker and Dorothy Embry.

Miss Augusta Savage, student of sculpture at Cooper Union, whose application to enter the Fontainbleu School of Fine Arts in France this summer was rejected by the American committee because of her race, told of her disappointment last week at a mass meeting of protest held in St. Mark's Lyceum, 235 West Fifty-third Street. "I wanted to go so badly," she said, "that I worked night and day and bought new clothes so that I would look all right. I was much surprised when they told me that I was a little too dark. I am the only colored girl in my class at Cooper Union and the others look on me as though I wore a freak. If I accomplish anything that is worth while they pat me on the back as though I were a little child. There are two other girls in Cooper Union—in other classes—and they get much the same treatment. It is difficult for us to get ahead, but I have worked hard to do it." "Since this thing happened I have had letters—nice and nasty except there but I am not going to tell you which failed to work. I haven't been able to pull myself together and write to my mother down in Florida that I am not going to France. Unless she reads the papers she doesn't know about it yet." "I am going to fight as long as I can; not for my own sake now, but for colored girls in the future. If our race quits now, Fontainebleau will probably never be open to us. My Mary O'Malley Grout, the last Republic woman leader of the Fifth Assembly District, and John H Robinson, president of the Lyme, also spoke. Brent Pattico called for France on the French Inner Bassin last week, presumably to present to the French Government reasons for the rejection of Miss Savage and to counteract, if possible, any arguments advanced by Alfred W.

"Besides ether and denatured alcohol, wood alcohol, Jamaica ginger and other ingredients which produce a kick are used.

JOHNSON The Casting Out Of Fear Luke 12:32: "Dismiss your fears, little Father finds a pleasure in giving you the king. If I were asked to name one emotion which every unhessitatingly name "fear." You are acquainted with ter who you are. Christian or heathen, white or afraid of something. It is so now, it was so when Christ message from which we quote today. For the benefit and for the benefit of all mankind, Jesus salt: "Dil little fock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you Luke 12:32: "Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the kingdom." Father finds a pleasure in giving you the kingdom." If I were asked to name one emotion which every man feels I would unhesitatingly name "fear." You are acquainted with fear, no matter who you are. Christian or heathen, white or black, you are afraid of something. It is so now, it was so when Christ delivered the message from which we quote today. For the benefit of His heavens and for the benefit of all mankind, Jesus said: "Dismiss your fears, little fock: Your Father finds a pleasure in giving you the kingdom." Dismiss your fears or sickness. The average man is in daily fear of sickness. Many people bring or disease. Men have become multi-millionaires as manufacturers of patent acutures, because the public feared sickness. Many people think themselves into the sickbed and, in many cases, to the grave. Most people who are sick are sick mentally. If men generally would "dismiss their fears" of sickness the human will suffer from a cold and a mildness of Solemum, will surely care for His human children, for whose redemption He gave His only begotten son." "Dismiss your fears" of the success of others. This fear makes for individual strife and race conflict. It has its ground in envy. "Dismay your fears" of death. Some people get very little joy out of life because of the fear of death. Constantly they are thinking of death as a monster lurking at their heels. This takes the joy out of life for too many people. "Dismiss your fears" of death by seizing death as something other than the black camel which kneels at every man's gate, "a leap in the dark," a cruel monster. "Think of it rather as the 'gate to endless joy,' the friend who relieves us of care sorrow, sickness, the guilt, leads to a home breeze with so many advantages that eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man the things which God hath in store for them that love Him." Becomes reconciled with God, continues that relation, and there will be no need to fear death. "Dismiss your fears of poverty. O, how we dread being poor. So great is our fear of poverty that we focalise thought and energy upon the accumulation of wealth. Thus one may succeed in the getting of things but he often sacrifices that which is far better. The average person cannot get wealth and keep an abiding interest in things eternal. Instead of getting wealth, wealth gets him. The fear of poverty makes many men resort to corrupt practices which cost UNITED STATES *SERVICE United States Veterans' Bureau Entire Staff Will Be Men and The President of the United States must be selected for appointment w correspond with the civil service rule UNITED STATES CIVIL *SERVICE EXAMINATIONS The President of the United States has directed that colored eligibles be selected for appointment when reached for certification in accordance with the civil service rules.

The price is too great. Better far to take comfort in the fact that the God who feeds the birds of the air and clothes the illies of the field beyond the magnificence of Solomon, will surely care for his human children, for whose redemption He gave His "only begotten son." "Dismiss your hearts" of the success of others. This fear makes for individual strife and race conflict. It has its ground in envy. It made the first murder of multitudinous murders ever since. The strife between man and man, the fight between capital and labor, the overpresent conflict between race and race, would not exist except for the fear man have of the success of others. The panacea nor all these fears lies in the practice of brotherhood. Brotherhood cannot be practiced without interracial co-operation. In proportion and good will obtain. Frequent association will ripen into love and "love casteth out fear."

Smith, American Negro Artist, Now in France. On the walls of the West One Hundred and Tenth-Fifth Street Branch of the New York Public Library and in the art gallery of Robert B. Mussmann. 144 West 57th Street, there is an exhibition of ten remarkable etchings of famous Negroes, by Albert A. Smith, a Negro artist. Among the subjects are Toussaint L'ouverture. Booker T. Washington. Frederick Douglass, Richard Allen, founder and first bishop of the A. M. E. Church; Pushkin, the Russian poet; Harriett Tubman, one of the conductors of the "underground railroad" during the Civil War; Phillis Wheatley, early poet; Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and Coleridge Taylor, the musician. The trained eye detects at a glance that Smith is a master in the art of etching. There is a revolution of individuality; a personal touch in each of the ten chara-tures dealt with that is startling. Combined with this is a strength, a cleanness of deligation. a spontaneity, an economy of detail winning, a mastery makes one hesitate not for an instant to say that the artist is the foremost etcher of Negro subjects to-day, and one of the very best in his art in America. Albert A. Smith is a New Yorker by birth. Born in 1234, he early manifested a desire for art. At the age of fifteen he won a scholarship at the De Witt Clinton High School for the Ethical Culture Art School. Four years later he entered the National Academy of Design, where he won the Burdens Bronze Medal for two consecutive years. The war interrupted his studies, and he left with the Americas Expeditionary Forces for France in 1918. After his return and discharge from the army, he resumed distinguished himself by winning the bronze, armstrong Chalour prize for painting from Hiro. He is now in the Academic Baux Arts in Paris, France. Smith has studied under several of the leading artists of the country, including Douglas Vols, Aurubach-Lervy, Keyon Cur and Charles C. Curran. The etchings were published by William M. Kellay, editor of The Amsterdam News. NATL' RACE CONGRESS HAS SPLENDI CONEETING MEETING WAKINGTON, D. C.

(Orsander Services) TALLAHASSEE, Fla. --- Signs of weekening on the east of the Florida Senate in its members' opposition to the humane demands of the strument of punishment, many observable for the first time last week. The Senate, by a vote of 36 to 11, passed a bill abolishing the two years the whipping of State prisoners. The Lower House, more amenable to public criticism in the North, passed a bill on the same time abolishing forever the whipping of either State or county prisoners. Too, the Senate bill, upon reaching the House, was emplaced so as to abolish whipping altogether. The report of the joint legislative committee investigating the charges brought by the Michigan Dukes to the Michigan Court will be presented Monday. Advance reports say it sustains all the original charges of cruelty to prisoners, and recommends the needed reforms. An interesting slightet on the situation in Florida is the vote of the Governor and a statement of the Florida Board of Commissioners of the Cabinet—permitting the King Tupentine Company, accused of sagrantly mistreating prisoners, to keep its leased convict.

MARK'S NEW PASTOR SERVED FEARLESS MAN (Continued from Page 1) Dr. Robinson has achieved distinction not only as a preacher but as a practical man of affairs. During the Chicago riots, those unlucky for the relief of those who had lost their homes or had been thrown out of employment, serving as treasurer of the Relief Fund. He was also the leading spirit in the anti-bombing campaign in that city. As chairman of the Citizens' Protective Association, he raised funds to fight those white organizations who had been bombing the homes of degrees in an effort to keep them out of certain districts. A bitter foe of segregation, he fought it at every step. Among other works of a practical nature engaged in by Dr Robinson is the organization of the Douglas National Bank, in which he played a leading part. He is now the second vice-president of the institution. This bank is the first of its kind to be opened by members of the race. He is the one who, at the time of his departure, president of the Interdenominational Ministries Alliance, composed of about 10 ministers of all denominations in Chicago. He was also a member of the Chicago Church Federation, an interracial organization, of which Dr Johnson is head. Dr Robinson has also distinguished himself nationally. He is Supreme Representative, Knights of Pythias, served as member of General Conference, M. K. Church Council, Federal Council, Church of Christ of Ancient Times, and Fraternal Delegate to the General Conference, St. Louis, Mo., in 1920. Pralais work of Dr. Brooks. When interviewed by a representative of the Amsterdam News, Dr. Robinson was very warm in his address. He introduced the work that had been completed by Brooks. His highest ambition, he said, was to carry on the work that had been so well done by Dr. Brooks, particularly the construction of the half-million-dollar plant to be erected at 157th and 158th streets on Edgarnome and St. Nicholas Avenues. This building will occupy the entire block, and will include a parish house and parsonage for pastor and assistant start work on this building in the early Fall" he said. "I've been greatly stimulated by the most cordial manner in which I have been received, as well as by the spiritual life of St. Marks Church here and believe that, with the present organization and congregation, one of the greatest churches of the race will arise, not only as regards numerical strength, but in the application of modern sanitation, a firm believer in spiritual uction and religious fervor only when it is harnessed to practical deeds." With Dr. Robinson at the paragonage, at 237 West, 53d Street, are Mrs. Robinson, his daughter, Miss J. Marjorie Robinson, who is studying at a leading music college, and Mrs. Carrie Knight, Mrs. Robinson's mother. An elder daughter, Lucille, is married to J. Ernest Wilkins, a brilliant young attorney of Chicago. Mrs. Wilkins is a teller in the Douglass National Bank. PRIDE OF N. Y.

ABYSSINIAN BAPTIST CHURCH More than 1,09 white and pink carnations were seen in the church Sunday morning. These were worn in memory of living and dead members of the congregation, gram consisted of mother's songs, Iv. A. Clayton Powell delivered the message. He said, in part: "On this Mother's Day it is both fitting and brave to brace the faithful women of our race, those silent forces, those powers behind the throne, those tremendous influences back of our men, which have made our race more powerful. The bloom of every man should beat with unspoilsable joy and gratitude at the mentioning of such names as Solofour Truth, Harriet Tubman, Mary Church H. Berroughs, and a million others whose names do not appear upon the books of earth, but whose humble deeds and mighty characters are shaping the destiny of the Ellipse Church, which shall stretch forth its nails unto God. "I am certainly happy on this Mother's day," said Dr Powell, that the colored woman is coming in the foodmat of the men of two races for 300 years. On an hand, she was outraged by the white men during slavery, and on the black men during slavery, and demoralized too often by the men of her own race since slavery. It has been said that half of our girls are morally assassinated because they do not know as to the truth of this statement, but as one walks along Lenox and 7th Avenue and looks into the faces of many of them, she reads a narrative and tragic story. A detective told me recently that it is a common thing to meet ten and fifteen in one block at night which he recognizes as In discussing this matter at a Minister's Conference one of the preachers referred to them as "the preacher of the blame" for putting the blame on the wrong group. The men who ruin them are the vampires and vipers of Harlem. The man who destroys a girl's character in her life is the preacher of the stream of racial purity and power must flow; for no man can be purer and better and stronger than their women. Next Sunday will be the greatest Sunday in 5 years of the church's history. Dr. W. A. Harrod of Philadelphia will preach the opening sermon at 11 o'clock and again in the evening. Dr. W. Y. E.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS.WEDNESDAY.MAY 16.1923 15. At the 11 o'clock service there was a large congregation present. The sermon was prescheduled by the pastor, Dr. Brown, who used his text, "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God has begun, emphasizing the important part played in the lives and activities of individuals, as being due to the teaching and influence of the mother. He referred to Carlyle, the writer, who, on his 85th birthday, wrote a letter to his mother in which he blessed her, and declared that she had made him a mother, and that she was due to her kindly love and Christian teaching. He mentised John Quincy Adams, Lincoln, Dickens, and Henry Ward Boecher, and many others who attained prominence, whose noble achievements were rewarded by the teaching.

The hair dries quickly evenly, and is soft, fresh jocking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any drug store or a few ounces will last for months.

Our West Indian Correspondence SEVERAL LETTERS have been received by the editor of The Amsterdam News, questioning the authenticity of news reports published recently in its columns concerning the controversy now going on between Virgin islands, both here and in the islands themselves and asking the newspaper's stand in the matter. Frankly, we confess that at this stage of the controversy, we are not taking any definite stand. We are interested, primarily, in the truthful presentation of both sides of the situation. THIS DOES NOT MEAN that The Amsterdam News or any of its correspondents are seeking positions under the Naval Department of the United States Government in the West Indies or that we mean to sit idly by if the islanders are being deprived of their liberty. We have taken particular note of the fact that the legislative bodies in the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas have repudiated the so-called "saviors of the islands." In spite of this we have from time to time given publicity to these same saviors' side of the controversy. We believe that the people living in the islands are intelligent enough to know what steps to take to bring about better conditions, if they are as bad as painted and have asked some of them to acquaint us with the actual conditions obtaining there.

But those the mob which lynched Scott were no WERE MAD, HUNGRY DOGS, PUP MEN'S CLOTHES. IT IS DIFFICULT for us to say whether or not James Scott, the University of Missouri janitor who was lynched several days ago, for the alleged assault on the fourteen-year-old daughter of a professor in that institution, is guilty of the crime charged against him. This is beside the question, anyway. We do say, though, that guilty or not guilty, he was entitled to a trial before a judge and jury. A RECENT REPORT states that Scott had been for many years a resident of Columbia; he was formerly a member of the regular army of the United States and at one time he was attached to the Eighth Illinois infantry; he had a reputation for honesty; was married to a school teacher and most important of all, is the father of a fifteen-year-old girl. "How could I commit a crime like you accuse me of. Don't you know I am the father of a girl like her?" he is reported as saying when accused by the mob. It is possible for such a plea to have come from the lips of a lying man but hardly probable. There is something about it that is sacred. Few MEN could resist it. But those who composed the mob which lynched Scott were not men. THEY WERE MAD, HUNGRY DOGS, PARADING IN MEN'S CLOTHES. Street Accidents DURING the month of April eighty-nine persons were killed by accidents on the streets of the city, two thousand seven hundred and twenty-seven persons were injured. Of those killed outright, forty-seven, or more than half were children. According to the Bureau of Public Safety, under the supervision of Special Deputy Police Commissioner Barron G. Collier, carelessness is the principal cause of most accidents to pedestrians. STEALING RIDES meant the death of three children, while playing in the streets took the lives of six. Roller skates, bicycles and hitching to vehicles were some of the other contributing causes. WE AGREE with the Commissioner when he states that carelessness accounts for most of the deaths on the city streets. Carelessness on the part of pedestrians and carelessness on the part of the Police Department. The report says nothing about the latter cause. Take our own Harlem, for instance. TRAFFIC at the corner of One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street and Seventh Avenue has become too heavy that it is dangerous to venture to cross the street at that point. For this reason The Amsterdam News asks that the Police Department station a regular traffic officer at that point. At this corner, which is a half block from the Thirty-fifth Police Precinct, every traffic regulation is violated. Our travel north on Seventh Avenue, turn suddenly into One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street, without giving signals or making a noise of any kind to turn the pedestrian crossing the street. Oversewash traffic is heavy at this point and taxi drivers speed across the street in both directions some as if they were on a country road. A FWB FATAL ACCIDENTS at this point will awaken the Police Department to the danger. But this will be fatal accidentally. Hikers a FWB officer in this dangerous corner regularly—NOW. EXPRESSED BY CONTEMPORARIES Negroes Segregate Themselves (Washington Tribune) The organization of the Professional Men's Golf league in this city by the Negro professional men. with a view of securing a special day for them to specify a gift to perfume and separate themselves There should not be a separate day or hour for colored people and white people, play golf, tennis, baseball or what not on a public ground of the District of Columbia. The colored people pay their taxes and form more than one-fourth of the population. As American citizens, why should they want to segregate and separate themselves by asking for a special day, or hour? There is sufficient pressure for segregation of the Negro here in the District from prejudice race haters. And when our professional men get together and voluntarily ask for a separate day for golf playing, they are simply "playing" into the hands of the people who are always looking for an opportunity to push their plans for full segregation upon the Negroes of the District. Our professional men—all of them—should be uplifted in a fight for full and free citizenship in the capital of the nation of asking for segregation. They are looking for professional men, whom they support, to have racial consciousness burning in their breasts to the extent that they will not even contend segregation, not to think of asking for it. If race pride and racial consciousness is lacking in the college bred men of the race, what can we hope for from the ranks? Boiling Blood --- (Chicago Whip). Insults, discrimination and injustices make the "blood boil." Anger surges to show their resentment when their blood such is true the black man's blood much is true the black man's blood much is turbulent state but when a black man and indignity and takes a bold stand for justice somebody will be heard to remit the white blood in the black man that from such opinions it would seem the thought that the African blood flowing are not of our own blood is compounded by discrimination bounded by injustices and that they are the same other people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Reader Indicts Tammany Insults, discrimination and injustices are said to make the "blood boll." Anger surges up and men show their resentment when their blood boll. If such is true the black man's blood must be in a very turbulent state when a black man resents and indignity and takes a bold stand for liberty and justice somebody will be heard to remark that it is the white blood in the black man that is boiling from such opinions; the black people are not resentful, are not offended by discriminations, are notounded by injustices and that they do not feel the same as other people. It is hard to tell what lies in a man's heart and who can tell what is hidden behind a smile or disguised by a laugh. Nobody but God knows what is in a man's heart. Some races present such mask like countenances that emotions are not expressed, this is particular true of the Mongolian people. They Sphinx-like in their expression but it has been proven by the keen sensibilities of the Japanese people that they were keenly alert to every overt act that the dominant vices made. The "brown blood balls", yellow blood balls and those who wear the black blood balls, that it soothes and in some instances it even froths and effervesces. It is human to rebel against prescription and it is the humanity of the black man that causes him to rise up in his wrath and proclaim his desire for the "humanities." We have no many times heard some of our people cry out that the Indian blood flowing in the veins of some of their fellows had caused them to do certain rash acts. We have heard others advise their friends that it would be a bad thing to get them peeved and cause their "English" to rise. It is certainly no uncommon thing to hear black people talking over some other friend's performances, but it is not the case. We, self, rarely if ever have we heard any one say that the fighting instinct in people of the black race had been prompted by their black blood. One of the greatest problems that confronts the leaders among the black people is the task of incubating "race pride" and it behoves them to attack and disparage every ramification of race inferiority that they find. If the history of the black man was dug up and if some of the habits of the native Africans were bundled this, at least, would be discovered that the black people in their native haunts are anything but timid and docile and that if any blood can be found anywhere it certainly can be found from the vomiting, caldron of "race relations" it will soon be found that the black blood is not quietly simmering while the other kinds are growing with volcanic venom. If the white man but knew how lynchings and kindred evils are souring the souls of the black people, embittering them, how injustices are causing malignant thoughts to rankle in their hearts, they would realise that black people respond to sensations the same as other races. Black blood bolls, it is boiling in America now. It will continue to boil until either a crish or an understanding is reached. The black people may not know themselves what lies in their hearts and they may not realise their proneness and desire to resent, but it is there and it will remain until the point of saturation is reached. When will it come? LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Reader Indicts Tammanyites To the Editor of the Amsterdam News: Sir: Last Sunday I want to the ball game at Oval in the Bronx and was disgusted by my race, drunk with "home-made" gelem making himself edible with the unlanguage and by standing in the aisle, view of many spectators. Yesterday I a man so drunk that an officer gouged him with a knife and apparently came such cases as this so severe in Harlem, and I have been wondering paper, the leading colored paper in Harlem says anything against the increasing sale in our fair community. Do you want Last Sunday I want to the ball game at Protectory Oval in the Bronx and was digusted by a member of my race, drunk with "home-made" gin from Harlem making himself odious with the use of vulgar language and by standing in the aisle, cutting the view of many spectators. Yesterday I saw a white man so drunk that an officer gouged him in the eyes for several minutes and apparently caused no pain. Such cases as this seem to be on the increase in Harlem, and I have been wondering why your paper, the leading-colored paper in Harlem, never says anything against the increasing sale of "booch" in our fair community. Do you want to see this section bomepome the "red light district" of New York? As one who knows the community, it appears to me that there is grave danger of such a thing coming to pass. For it is generally known that the local Talmany leaders have told the city administration that we want to be left alone, and no-longer as colored people harm no one but themselves by violation of the law, they are being left alone. A well known Tammany judge went on the last picnic of a colored Association, as a guest of honor, and reported to a friend on returning that he had been with 'the best colored people of Harlem' and that they were practically all drunk and going to extremes in dancing. He did not say this to a colored man but in the presence of a colored waiter. Such men as this judge thinks the best colored people in the kind of big time and consider it good politics and not them have their way in this particular matter. Does the Amsterdam News agree with this attitude? Does it realize its responsibility to turn the searchlight of publicity on those ever increasing calls and cabarots, and at least demand that they be regulated? Wake up, and let us know where you stand in this matter. "Blood-Money" Sixth Installment CHAPTER XVI "I M SORRY, PHIL, but I can't," said John, with a spurt of determination, placing his hand on Philip's arm. "If I had myself alone to consider I would gladly stay away and leave you a free field, since you wish it, but, like you, I have others to consider. The stigma that has been placed upon my race makes it all the more imperative for me to stand up for its honor. You would do nothing less were you in my lace, I feel sure." Philip had brushed away John's arm. "You're a fool, Walton, and you'll regret it," he snapped, as he strode angrily toward the door. He had almost reached there when John called out: "Phil!" Philip turned—the light of victory in his eyes. So John had decided to change his mind after all. John advanced to meet him. In his extended hand he held a pair of gloves. "You're forgetting these, Phil," he said, kindly. moments, Prof. Bruce said jokingly, as he thrust it under John's nose "You know what's in this, don't you, Walton?" "Yes," laughed John, excitedly. "Suppose you could only see through it, eh?" continued the The following evening John told Lucille of his refusal of the money. "It was a hard fight," he said. "When I thought of all the things I could do with that five thousand dollars it made me feel very bad." Lucille threw her arms around him and kissed him again and again. "I am so proud of you," she said rapturously. "I'm glad you didn't accept his horrid money." "And it makes me very happy to hear you say so, dear," he said, kissing her tenderly. "I thought of the many nice things I could have got for you, but I know that you wouldn't have accepted them if you knew the price I had paid." "It's very hard, dear," she replied, "but I feel sure that it will come back in some way. And Philip Breckenridge for one will respect you more than ever." "I care little for what he or anyone thinks about what I have done—except you, dear. I felt I have done the right thing and I have won your approval. That is satisfaction enough for me." "Now it's up to you more than ever to win," said Lucille playfully. "I'll win it; never fear, dearest," he murmured. John had remarked that of late Mrs. Bruce was acting strangely again. Into her eyes had returned the same strange look that he had noticed that first evening he had met her on the sidewalk. This mysterious conduct had puzzled him immensely. More than ever was he anxious to learn the identity of the man whose voice he had heard that night on the stairs. "What was Mrs. Bruce's connection with the mysterious stranger?" he asked himself. John recalled how emphatically she had assured him when he rushed into the room that night that her husband was not being compromised. Was she speaking the truth? If he was not her lover, who was he then? Was Mrs. Bruce the associate of thieves? For a lady of such refined appearance it seemed possible, yet he had heard of stranger things. Again, why had she refrained from telling him her story after she had volunteered to do so? He reflected that she had had abundant opportunity to do so. He recalled how pathetically she had begged him to help her. What was the nature of the help she had expected? Torn with curiosity and pity for her, John had started to broach the subject of her hidden sorrow several times, but on each occasion he had decided to let the matter drift. The day of the contest for the Stanton Prize approached. It was to be the first Monday in June. The Saturday preceding the examination John was at work cleaning the windows of the Bruce home, when the doorbell rang. Answering the ball, John saw a messenger with a package. "Ive been told to deliver this to Prof. Brune," explained the boy, opening his receipt book. "I took it over to the university but found only the janitors and the scrub-women there. They told me Prof. Brune would take it. Sign here." "What's it it? demanded John, before signing. He took the package, and as he read it his eye begged with amusement. Returning it quickly to the boy, he said nervously: "I had better call Prof. Bruce himself." "All right. I'll take it." decided Prof. Bruce, after the buttress slammed. After standing the soiled package critically for a few moments. Prof. Bruce said jokingly, as he thrust it under John's nose "You know what's in this, don't you, Walton?" "Yes," laughed John, excitedly. "Suppose you could only see through it, eht?" continued the professor. "The best part of the fun would be gone then," said John lightly. "Besides, I'm going to amuse you." Prof. Bruce tossed the package on his desk among some other papers. John picked up his window-cloths and returned to his job. Half an hour later he was finished and returned to his room at the Stewarts, a few doors away. CHAPTER XVII. Philip Breckenridge dug with the Bruces: that evening. He was a rather frequent visitor there. After dinner he and Prof. Bruce wandered into the library. Gobg to the desk. Prof. Bruce took a box of cigars and passed it to Philip. Neither had a match and Prof. Bruce went to get some. Philip seated himself in the swivel chair at the desk, swinging himself lazily. Presently he swung inward. His eyes rested on the sealed package nestling in its bed of manuscript. He looked more closely. "The examination question!" he gasped, gasing at it spellbound. He picked up the brown package, regarding it piercingly. "If my eyes were only X-rays," he sighed. Hearing approaching footsteps, he dropped it quickly and swung his chair nonchalantly around. Lighting their cigars, the two men smoked and chatted for some time until Prof. Bruce looked at his watch and said: "Mrs. Bruce and I are going to the pictures tonight to see Harold Lloyd. Won't you come along with us?" "I'd be glad to, but Monday is the big day, you know." "Ah, I forgot." "I'm going home to pitch in," said Philip, rising. "Wait for us and we'll drop you there." Mrs. Bruce entered. Prof. Bruce went to the garage in the rear for his car, leaving Mrs. Bruce and Philip. Soon after the two left the house together. The car was waiting. Philip helped Mrs. Bruce in. The car went in the direction of the town. "Take care of getting stale," warned Prof. Bruce, as Philip insisted on alighting when they reached his home. Shortly after they had reached the theatre, Mrs. Bruce complained of a bad headache. Prof. Bruce wished to take her home at once, but she insisted on their setting the Lloyd comedy first. It was not until near ten o'clock that they returned home. At the curb Prof. Bruce helped Mrs. Bruce to alight and offered to assist her inside. She insisted on going inside. She insisted on going inside. She had felt much better. Prof. Bruce started for the garage. As he was about to back the car into the little wooden building he started, his hands falling from the wheel. He had heard a shot, followed by a scream. The sounds had come from the house! Springing from the machine, he dashed for the kitchen door. It was locked. He rattled it frantically, then raced for the front door. Someone was running up the front steps ahead of him. Overlapping the scene, he recognized a neighbor, Herbert McLean. "Did you hear that?" demanded Prof. Bruce, wildly. Both men bounded up the steps. Prof. Bruce whipped out his key, but the door was dark. Armed with a dark figure spring suddenly on the library and made a wild dash for the door, almost knocking him over. "Catch him! Catch him! He has shot Mrs. Bruce." CHAPTER XVII. heard the voice of John Walton. "I saw him!" John darted through the door, while Prof. Bruce and McLeod rushed into the library. There, outstretched on the floor, lay Mrs. Bruce. On her white shirt waist was a large, red spot, ominously broadening itself. Prof. Bruce was beside her in an instant. Her hands fell lifelessly from his. Her heart had ceased to beat. He threw himself on the lifeless body in a paroxysm of grief. McLean telephoned for the police. Soon the officers were on the spot. They examined the dead woman carefully. The lutenant took something from beneath her fingers. He held it tightly up to the light, then carefully placed it between the leaves of his notebook. "Haves you any idea who could have done this?" he asked Prof. Bruce. "None whatever," replied the grief-striken husband. Both he and Daniels began to stammer out the incident that had taken place at the door. "One at a time," said the lieutenant. "Let him tell it." he added, indicating the professor. "Try to shake yourself together. We want to get the one that did this." Prof. Bruce related the incident of John's dash through the door. "He's a colored man, isn't he?" demanded the lieutenant. Prof. Bruce nodded. "I thought so," said the officer significantly. A poor hurried questions about John, and the chief dispatched three detectives after him. Prof. Bruce wandered over to his desk. His eyes fell on the papers there. "Come here!" he cried excitedly to the officer. The examination questions had been broken into. The seal had been shredded off, and the string carefully unlobed. A small bit of sealing wax was lying near. Prof. Bruce told weakly of the contest and how the package had been delivered to him. "You say this John Walton was one of the competitors?" demanded the chief, as he detained Prof. Bruce's hand, and warned him to touch nothing on the desk. "Yes." "Did he know that these papers were here?" "Yes, he was present when I received them from the boy this afternoon." "Pretty ahwred," mused the officer aloud, as he regarded the little pile of papers lying on the brown paper. He figured on getting out the questions and sealing it up all nicely again with that bit of wax, as if nothing had happened. "No, no!" cried Prof. Bruce. "He didn't do it. He's too honest for that." "Too honest for that," echoed the lieutenant. "Well, take a look at this, will you?" He took out his notebook, opened it, and thrust it significantly close to the professor's face. "How do you account for that?" he asked. "It's he. It's he!" cried Prof. Bruce. "I see it all now. He came in to rob the paper." "Here he comes now," said the chief, as the three detectives led John in. Prof. Bruce sprang wildly at him. "You murderer," he screamed. The officers held him back. "I'm innocent," cried John. "I didn't do it. I saw —" "We found this gun on him, lieutenant," said one of the detectives, cutting John short. "It was fully loaded and had an empty shell," he said, as he handed over the shiny weapon on and the cartridges. "That's mine," said Prof. Bruce. "He took it out of that drawer to the right." "John Wallen," said the chief impressively. "I arrest you for the murder of Mrs. Bruce." "Hurry him off," he commanded, "before the town gets wind of it." (To be continued: next week.)

ELLIOTT RAWLING, M.D. FROM time immemorial people have craved the stimulating effect of alcohol. It seems to me that some of the most brilliant chapters of the world's history were periods when the use of alcohol was universal. Painter's, sculptors, poets, men of science, and learning, leaders of thought who have added much to the world's advancement have been men who sought the stimulating effects of alcohol. PRIMITIVE NEGRO SCULPTURE ON VIEW IN B'KLYN ART MUSEUM It serves a legitimate purpose, but, like many other things in this world with which mortal beings come in contact, the weak and unfit and inherently susceptible fall prey to its misuse. All men are not susceptible to the ill effects of alcohol, taken in the proper amounts. Many men who have been daily consumers of alcohol grow ripe in age, forceful in character, robust to inflammatory or degenerative changes in the heart, kidney, liver or nervous tissues and these are the places in the human system which are attacked by alcohol. On the other hand, we know men whose use of alcohol has not been excessive either in the amount used or the time of time of its indulgence, who succumb easily in life to a disease, brought about by alcoholic indulgence. We see the same results in the use of other stimulants or feeds. An old saying I have heard—"what is one man's food is another man's poison"—is quite pertinent in the use of alcohol. Individuals may show susceptibilities to certain foods and medicines, peculiar to themselves, and not harmful to the majority of other people. This is due to some inherent weakness or inferiority in the celli of certain of the organs of the body—such as the heart, liver, kidney, nerves or brain. In fact, the belief of many medical men is that alcoholism is in an inherent inferiority in an individual, and instead of placing the blame on alcohol itself as a poison, the blame should be placed on an inferiority in cell structure and its metabolism or physiological activity, alcoholism manifests itself, alcoholism actually and mentally abnormal individual, and the majority of the people of this world are not of this class. This, therefore, is the important point for referrences and anti-probition leaders to remember. The inherently weak. Like the poor. are with us all the time, but they are not in the majority. They Primitive Negro wood carving from Africa, together with cloth woven by the Bashongo tribe, is on view at the Brooklyn. N. Y. Museum of Art, together with ivory carvings, utensils, spears and knives and other African handicraft work. The sculpture comprises wooden figures used as fetches, to ward o: evil, and wooden masks used in ceremonial jambes, together with staves and sculptors. Early African Negro sculpture, of the sort now being shown, not only in the Brooklyn Museum but in the studio of Mrs. H. P. Whitney of New York, is held by competent critics to constitute an achievement unique in the history of the world's art, from which modern artists derived inspiration. Among these modern artists may be mentioned especially the sculptor, Braccian, and the painters, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. Primitive Negro statuary was first introduced to the world as art in an exhibition held in New York in November, 1914, at the Galleries of the Photo-Secession, 191 Fifth Avenue. At that time Maris De Zavas, who brought the collection to New York from Paris, credited the painter, Picasso, with being the discoverer of Negro art, and introducing its principal into the collection. De Zavas claimed that the Negro art had shown new possibilities for finding forms to express the inner life, beneath the knowledge imposed by education. According to Stewart Culin, ethologist of the Brooklyn Museum, the varieties of masks include: "War masks, dance masks, and the masks of the fetisher, that curious personage who' combines the attributs of high priest, magistrate and physician. Whatever may be their use, they are all more or less directly connected with the world rather than festal." My Culin gardens Negro art as the most vital of all the strange arts from which the world is seeking simulation. "Most of the fine primitive Negro sculpture is no longer to be seen, as it has been bought by private collectors or is housed in large European museums.

Thus the last state is worse than the first. The condition today in New York city, and especially in Harlem, with reference to alcoholism is indeed, bad. Drunkards are to be seen everywhere disease and ill-hospital of the digestive tract are very prevalent crime and immorality as a result of brain deterioration are common. We physicians; from the history of these cases, detect the type of inferior grade, and the type of inflammation in various organs is surely of a superior form than in days gone by. Alcohol in bonded whisky or brandy, attacks the cells in the special centers of the brain, giving certain hallucinations, but reason and judgment are usually present or but slightly impaired. The volatile alcohol in "moonshine" whisky attacks the cells in various association centers of the brain, and thus reason and judgment and consciousness are seriously impaired or utterly lost, and the person becomes "wild" and irresponsible. This is the kind of whisky that is being sold promiscuously. What is really needed is a drastic method to control the sale of alcohol of the better kind, and not prohibitory laws preventing the manufacture of good bonded whisky or its sale to the proper persons so desiring its use. In other words temperance is needed and not prohibition. Combined with this, an educated public opinion condemning and prosecuting the politician and public officials who protect the unscrupulous venders and manufacturers of "moonahat" which would do more good for public morality in general than the astonishing prohibition laws which we have to-day. theatre, is lending new interest to the cultural background of the race The Poets' Corner Poems submitted for publication in The Poets' Corner have been returned unless accompanied with a mail addressed and stamped envelope.
