Harris, Alderman of the Twenty-first A. D., was unseated yesterday afternoon and John William Smith, Democrat, 145 West 138th street, who had contested Harris' re-election in 1921, was seated. Harris who is also the editor of the New York News, has been in office since January 1, 1920, when he was elected against strenuous opposition. Final action of the Election Committee took place at the executive session, the majority of whose members are Democrats. The decision of the Aldermanic body yesterday, the majority of whose members are also Democrats, is subject to review by the Supreme Court of Appeals, but whether or not Harris will resort to this method in an effort to retain his seat is not known. When interviewed by a representative of The Amsterdam News into yesterday he stated that he is positively sure that he will serve out the rest of his term, and be re-elected this fall. Smith, so the Committee reported, was elected by 46 votes. Unless he can obtain a judgment against Harris, he will have to forfeit his pay for 1922 and 1923. REVIVALISTS TOO NOISY, SAY WITNESSES Rev.

Leewood, who is employed by the Booth & Fitzmair Co., was wearing one of the company's badges. Though he answered satisfactorily all of the policeman's questions and even called a friend of his from the building to further identify him, it did not seem to satisfy McKenna, who by this time had drawn his gun and fired at the two colored men. They ran into the house. Word was sent at once to the First Precinct, at the City Hall Station, and Chief Battersea, Capt. Wm. Prescott. Lieut.

MADE TO TAKE POISON: BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 9.—A group of whites had light skinned James Hok, also white, of Fairfield, bound him with wife and forced him to drink what doctors said was some kind of poison. "If you were to do the things that are being done on Broadway, you'd be subject to no end of criticism," he said, and the reform societies would give you no rest. "I do not believe in using Carr like methods. Entertainment, however, must be decent. There is so much fine talent among the colored people, and I don't want to see it degenerate to the level of much of the entertainment pursued by the members of my race. "I ask for more co-operation. My door is always open for citizens to come and talk to me. If I can do what they ask I will gladly do so; if I cannot I will may so." Speaking of his appointment to the district, the Inspector praised Commissioner Buright. "Whatever good has resulted from my work in this district is due to my instructions by Commissioner Buright. In sending me here, he said: 'Forget you are dealing with colored people. I want things done in a fair, common sense way.'" Chas. W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue, acted as master of ceremonies. He spoke in high terms of the excellent work done by the Inspector, who, he said, was "a fearless and informed public servant, who possessed the right degree of firmness and fairness in dealing with all classes of citizens." Other speakers who complimented the Inspector were Dr. R. P. Roberta, Alberneman Gen. W. Harris. Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand G. Marten, Fred R. Moore and Rev. A. C. Gerner. ASK TROOPS FOR TUSKEGEE We have many times cannot stop the time to run up to Harlem to see what is wrong with the men you have employed to remove the rubbish and ashes from the streets. Something must be wrong with them, for the rubbish stays on the streets days and days at the time. Really, we have known it to lay as long as a week at the time. We are not asking you to remove it yourself, because we know that a $7,500 employee is not supposed to get his hands dirty. But you can see that it is removed. We would ask one of your employees to move it, but the last time we asked him to dump our ashes in his ashcart he told us to go to the place that made the ashes. And, of course, we don't know where that place is. Is he the owner of the city? He must own something, for he is worse than our landlord ever has been. Come any time, Mr. Commissioner—morning, noon or night. You'll find rubbish of every description awaiting you. How the Republican Party has kept its pledge is told by Joseph Mirant in a letter to the New York World, published in its issue of July 8: To the Editor of The World: Though you may not pay attention to it and give not, therefore, a voice in your prominent paper to the suffering people of Hayt, yet I feel it my duty to denounce to you once more Mr. Russell, the High Commissioner, from whose hands we have already suffered, so much. As I have stated in my letter of, a month or so ago to you, the sufferings of the Kaytian people are indescribable. Yet they are not allowed to complain. New laws have just been enacted against the press, gagging it more and more every day. Mr. Jebelke, JFK, and Mr. Bernard Pumpet, directors of the Florida National and the Peak, are still in a dormitory, where they intend to keep them until they die. These are the kindnesses Mr. Russell is invoking upon us in the name of American democracy, without the people of this country knowing anything about it. (Signed) JOEHN F MIRAULT, A HARLEM CITIZEN.

Campbell and State Senator R. H. Fowell, all white citizens of Tuskegee.

One day I read the announcement of Dr. Hannon's sick day. I immediately put myself under his care. My symptoms were severe, and I had to lie in bed with the first treatment and I improved. Now after being under his care only three months I have recuperated wonderfully. All pain have disappeared and I can eat before. I have now a wonderful appetite and enjoy everything I am eating. Indeed, my condition is so excellent that you would hardly believe I was sick.

Flipper Addresses Conference of 600 Leaders in Atlanta ATLANTA, Ga., July 11. Negro leaders from all parts of Georgia attended a meeting in Taft Hall on Wednesday, July 4, to discuss the various problems affecting the race in that State. Among the subjects discussed were: "Better Economic Conditions," "Migration," "Suppression of Mob Violence," "Better Educational Facilities." Declaring that the Negroes as a race do not desire to leave the South and Georgia especially and asserting that the remedy for the conditions which are causing this present migration to other parts of the country is in the hands of the white man, composed the gist of what was done at the meeting and were specifically covered in the communication setting forth the chief grievances to the Legislature of the State and the people of Georgia. More than 600 Negro leaders attended the meeting. Bishop J. G. Flipper, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in his opening address asserted that the Negro does not ask the passage of any more legislation, or of any special laws for his benefit, but only asks that the lawn now on the Employment Agencies West Side Employment Agency 283 WEST 125th ST.

NOTES The Sunday afternoon services in the Auditorium are discontinued during the Summer months because the attendance falls off greatly as the warm weather comes, but the Information Desk is open during the afternoon as usual. There are also hostesses in the building, who are glad to take visitors through or to contribute in any other way possible to the comfort of guests in the lobby on Sunday afternoons. statute books be fairly enforced. The Negro, if he is to stay in the South, asks only equal protection of life and property and equal justice in the courts. This, declared Bishop Flipper, he is not given now. He said the remedy is in the hands of the white man, and he could put it into effect before sunrise if he would. All of the speakers at the meeting united in branding social equality and the Negro supremacy as bugaboos created by political demagogues for their own selfish goals and declared that the Negro as a race had never sought such things. It was stated that 45 per cent of the population of Georgia is colored and the reason for the troubles and inequalities for the Negro were all laid to the effort to conduct a democracy with a large proportion of the population barred from suffrage. All Negroes were urged to exercise their right to vote whenever they could establish such right under the Georgia law. It was also urged that the Legislature pass an anti-lynching law, a preference being expressed for a State statute over a Federal Government, because it was believed that law would be better enforced. Would be better calmed. In the address which was adopted to be sent to the Legislature, and before as many people of the State as possible, the evils under which the Negro of Georgia is laboring, and cited as the chief causes of the migration, are as follows: Lack of credit facilities for Negro farmers; low wages for farm labor; poor housing conditions, both in cities and rural communities; bad working conditions on plantations managed by overseers during the absence of the owners; lack of educational facilities for Negro children; poor accommodations for Negroes when traveling; inequality in the enforcement of the laws. Cut During Quarrel. During an alteration with two unidentified men at 73 West 135th street, James Medley, 28, 299 West 135th street, received a laceration of the head and was taken to Harlem Hospital. The most enthusiastic reports come from Fern Rock, where the first Campers of the summer are setting a record pace of fun for the season. Two large cars and two sight-seeking buses, filled with visitors, went up for the holiday and everybody voted it a perfect Fourth. The trip was arranged and conducted by Miss Alma Marshall of Brooklyn and her brother, Miss Marshall is an active member of the Branch and one of our most enthusiastic Campers. Mrs. Bvaline Begle Hollar and Mrs. Mary Mille筹措 contributions and bought a portable Victor machine and records for camp. Mrs. Hollar also gave a beautiful large American flag for camp. Members and friends have been generous with their gifts for camp, a lot of which will be published next week. Summer students and visitors continue to pour into the Branch. Among recent visitors have been: Mrs. Haren Theronat, Chicago; Misa G. M. Railford, Columbia, R. C.; Prod. and Mrs. Morris H. Layton, Harrisburg, Pa.; Misa Kusna C. Barber, Salisbury, N.

If a mother has no one home to Time Draws Near For Exposition To Depict Civic and Economic Progress of Harlem. The time is drawing near for the Commercial Business Exposition, to be held in the Renaissance Casino from July 28 to 27, under the auspices of the Association of Trade and Commerce. Confidence in the success of the exhibition was stimulated last week when the Eiroy Manufacturing Company, of Chicago, sent the association a check on the Douglass National Bank, of the same city, for a display booth. The Eiroy Company manufactures coffins and caskets and is possibly the only colored concern of its kind in the country. The Douglass National is the only Negro national bank in the United States. The building, which is one of the finest in Harlem, in which the exposition will be held, is likewise owned and controlled by Nero capital. Among the outstanding features of this exposition will be the symbolizing of race progress in science, invention and commerce, made especially for this occasion, the systematic arrangement of booths and spaces, and the color scheme of the casion. All of these details have been carefully worked out by Mr. Roach, assisted by Mr. Wm. H. Willis. The social and reception part will be looked after by the members of the association, who will not only meet the visitors and make them feel at home, but, assisted by stiffs of the Negro papers of New York, will cheerfully give any information desired. From the stage a varied daily interesting program of talks, vocal and instrumental music will be rendered. A certain part of the floor is to be reserved for dancing at intervals. The civic and economic progress of Negroes in Harlem will be depicted throughout the program. Y.W.C.A.

Wright who was then Educational Secretary of the W. John St. Y. M. C. A. inaugurated what was perhaps the first successful conference of summer students. Since Professor Wright's acceptance of the presidency of Edward Waters College, attempts have been made by others to perpetuate the student conference in New York city. This year the New York College Chapter of the N. A. A. C. P. and the Y. M. C. A. will hold a three-day conference on August 6, 7, and 8. Mathematics and the Northwest in the North and the South will be the theme. Subjects such as the northward migration of Negroes and social service agencies will be dealt with in this conference. Addresses will be made by prominent speakers. At each session there will be a discussion period in which all may participate. The conference will be open free of charge to the public. And all are cordially invited to attend. The Harlem Office of the N. A. A. C. P. has been investigating a discrimination case in which Dr. C. B. Powell was refused orchestra tickets in the National Theatre on May 3. Through the law firm of Dyett and Hall, Dr. Powell has filed suit for damages on the ground that the Civil Rights Law of New York has been violated. The case will come up in the full session of court. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1923 ASSOCIATED PRESS CORRECTS NEWS STORY The Associated Press, one of the greatest white news distributing agencies in the world, has corrected a story it sent out on the release of six Arkansas farmers whose cases were fought to the Arkansas Supreme Court by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In the original Associated Press story the Arkansas riots of 1919 were attributed to a Negro "insurrection" and it was charged that fighting had been begun by Negroes. In response to vigorous protest from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People the Associated Press sent out another story, which stated that: "On the night of Sept. 30, 1919, a number of colored men, assembled in their church, were attacked and fired upon by a body of white men, and in the disturbance that followed a white man was killed." Shattering the Ku Klux Klan's contention that it has escaped criminal prosecution under the Walker Law by having incorporated for "benevolent purposes." William F. McCormick, expert bill draughtsman, who drew the Walker Law, recently gave out a statement that the Klan can be prosecuted whether it is incorporated or not. "The section of the Benevolent Orders Law," said Mr. McCormick, "under which the Klan incorporated applied only to subordinate lodges of those actually named in the law, wherein the Klan's name does not appear."

BOSTON, Mass., July 5.— The gathering yesterday at the reading of the Declaration of independence from the balcony of the Old State House, by Charles C. Dogan, Negro honor student of the English High School, was one of the largest in many years, for hundreds of colored people came from all parts of the city and state to hear the youth of their own blood, who had been given this honor. Mayor Curley presided. Young Dogan, dressed in the uniform of his school regiment, read distinctly the Declaration first heard by Boston people from the same balcony in 1776. He was loudly applauded. Troop 9, Colored Boy Scouts, of Cambridge, under direction of Master William Crawford, was present. Patriotic selections were played by Coast Artillery Band and the soldiers stood at attention while the declaration was read. The selection by the Mayor of the Negro boy to read the Declaration drew the ice of a prejudiced committee of whites in Charlotte, N. C., to whom he hotly replied. ette, Colorado and La Vaca Counties late yesterday took Jesse Bulk lock, a 22-year-old colored man from the city jail and hanged him from a tree on Main street, after a 14-year-old, white girl had identified him as her assailant. The city marshal made no attempt to perform his duty by defending the prisoner in his charge. The usual statement that "the prisoner confesses" has been sent out by the murderers.

Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut 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 moisten your hair with water and rub it in. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsified will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather and cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, buffy, wavy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified coconut oil shampoo at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and a few ounces will last everyone in the family for months. Be sure and ask for "Mulsified." Lame Feet Foot Troubles Scientifically Treated.

The truth of the matter is that Danny Edwards went out and won bodily from Gordon, locking him up from the first round and only allowing a breathing spell in the last two rounds, but the cards were stacked to give Gordon a whack at the Lynch boy for the championship honors and the beat those judges did was to call the battle a draw. A howl that could be heard for miles went up from the fans when they realized that Danny had been again denied the fruits of his letter, and that howl did not go up from the throats of colored but white men, who did not have to stretch their imaginations to be fair to the little colored fighter. It was Edwards all the way, reading between the lines of the big "tails one can readily detect that" but Gordon was suffering an unblocked-for setback and to let him do it easy they decided the bout was a draw. Any other man than the diplomatic George Moore would have got in bad the moment that decision was announced, but he rose to the occasion, and, although he must have been burning up with disappointment and chagrin for the raw deal handed his man, he continued to live up to his reputation of being the most gentlemanly manager of color the game has ever seen and his smile came to him at a time when most men would have been hurting curses at the heads of the judges. Bet Moore has friends all over the country, for less than 48 hours after the fight the world was stalled to learn that no less a person, than the venerable Tom O'Reourke, manager of the Polo Grounds fight-club, had decided to send Danny Edwards against Irish Johnny Curtin in the semi-final to the Dundee-Criquil bout on July 28. Mug O'Reourke is not only satisfied to give Edwards the chance to appear for the first time since the lifting of the ban at one of the largest clubs in the country, but, if Danny makes good against Curtin he has promised to match the colored fighter in a star bout at the Polo Grounds against Pancho Villa, the little Filipino wonder, who virtually massacred Wilde some weeks early. Edwards is the only bantam performing in these parts who can make a 116, which gives him prior choice to a fight with Villa. Danny Meele Villa in Boston some months ago and the Bean Town called it one of the greatest fights ever stared there. Edwards again suffered an account of color, when they called the encounter a draw. Tom O'Durke is not new to those of us who have followed the game, for, looking back a few years, we remember that he it was who so successfully piloted George Dixon and Joe Wakcott to the top of the heap. Mr. O'Durke has shown himself a much bigger man than Tex Richard and, in allowing him to run a side the Boxing Commission is seeing himself the good to be derived by allowing others to present big things to the public, instead of having the game here, in a big way, being monopolized by Tex Richard. were misapposed by Tyk Mickelson.

Morro met Earl Force last Saturday night at the West New York Playgrounds, and, although the white boy was touted to wrest an early and easy win over Morro, he was made to look foolish by the Cuban flash, who won all the way and got the decision. Ben Bliven, who is looking after the interests of Morro, went on record recently as saying that his boy should be given a chance at the Commonwealth. Considering the fine showing he has been making, we would not be surprised to see the McMahons, giving him that chance in the near future. ces for Business w. Last Call the Association of Trade & Commerce cial and Exposition THE WORLD OF SPORT Governor Pinchot Receives Colored Men And Assures Them That No Color Line Will Be Allowed in-Pennsylvania Hereafter (Special to the New York Amsterdam News) PHILADELPHIA, July 6.—Philadelphia had the pleasure of welcoming to the Quaker City the big man of boxing circles who seems to be making New York and other parts sit up and take notice these days, when George Moore, formerly of Oregon but more recently of the East, hopped off here to start things in favor of the colored mitt pushers. Moore hadn't been in this town 80 hours before machinery was set in motion to get the attention of the Governor of the State and how successful he was in again demonstrating that a man in the game with brains can do much is attested in the assurance given by Gov. Pinchot to a committee of colored men headed by Mr. Andrew Stevens, of the banking firm of Brown and Stevens, that there will, from now on, be no color ban in boxing in the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Stevens is the member of the Legislature who introduced the Anti-Lynching Bill and forcefully laid before Gov. Pinchot the unfair attitude of boxing promoters toward the colored fighters. George Moore had carefully gone over the ground with the gentlemen of the committee and that such a man was needed to start things favorable to our people is now being admitted by the best people of this town. A hope is expressed that the activities of the great manager of that splendid string of fighters will not confuse his activities to New York but will bring his boys to our State to engage in bouts with the best white boys here. Last minute news from the Executive Mansion states that Gov. Pinchot is seriously considering placing a colored man on the Boxing Commission of this State. This is news that will be received with a great deal of joy by colored people all over the country. Edwards at the Queensboro Again Last Night Moore Sends His Crack Bantam Against Frankie Jerome in a Return Engagement Fight fans who recalled the great comeback staged by Danny Edwards when he took Frankie Jerome into camp at the Commonwealth Sporting Club some weeks ago, trekked out to the Queensborough Athletic Club, where Paddy Mullins seems to be very much at home, last night, to see Edwards in a return engagement with Jerome. As told in another column of today's paper, Edwards last week gave Harry Gordon a beating at the Queensboro, and the quick return of Danny to the Long Island club is halled with delight by the fans, as they figure him to take Jehome as handily as he tikk Gordon, although we expect, if he wins the judges will again call it a draw NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1923 Champ to Crack Lincoln Giant Baltimore Sox Burban Tells Readers of singly of the Big Dou Thousands to (By S.

Leading White and Colored Stars at Benefit The Theatre Boys' Social Club, an organization of New York City's colored employees in the big theatre, will stage one of the biggest midnight shows ever brought to Harlem at the Lafayette Theatre on Tuesday, July 24, midnight. This splendid bill, which will entertain Harlemites for one night only, will be presented through the course of E. F. Albee, head and principal owner of the B. F. Keith Circuit. The purpose of the benefit will be to raise funds to build a clubhouse. Many of the employees of the well-known theatre have been working for a number of years toward purchasing such a place, and now that they have secured the co-operation, of some of the biggest men in the theatrical world, it is almost a foregone conclusion that their dream will at last materialize. We direct the attention of our readers to an advertisement for the benefit appearing, in another cod (By S. U. BURBAN. Special Correspondent) and a single, added to the sest and spirit of the contest. It took 10 innings to decide the first game with great and special praise for the victorious Baltimoreans, while nothing but economics should be showered upon the vanquished who were defeated by a score of 5 to 4. But revenge is sweet, and by superior manipulation, strategy and alertness Capt. Marcell turned the tables upon the successful Baltimore ball tossers. Such pounding, jambasting and planking have not been excelled on Protectory Oval. The Lincolnins gained the lead in the second and were never headed until the 27 were fielded out, with a final score accompanied by great seventh inning exploitation, to the tune of 13 to 11, in favor of Lincoln.

(By VAMES A. JACKSON) Five years ago a colored composer whose work attracted more than passing attention was a rarity. Four years ago the voice of the Negro artists was as yet unrecorded, excepting, of course, Bert Williams, who had long before crossed all artistic color lines. While the populace was seeking surcease from the nerve strain of the World War, some one introduced to the metropolitan centers those old Southern melodies that had for centuries served to alleviate the soul soreness of the millions of slaves long since vanished from our land. These songs and their adaptations became public favorites as spirituelles, jazz numbers and blues, according as the mood of the composers dictated. Soon the world was jazz wild, too much so for endurance. The South was ravaged for the sacred songs; the labor melodies of the cotton fields were dressed in modern array and handed to a willing public. White artists tried to interpret these numbers, not always with the success that was hoped for. Composers of other races attempted to marshal the melodies, but missed the soul and spirit of them. Finally a colored bandmaster came out of Memphis who had been born in the native atmosphere of the "blues." He wrote, and his band played them into importance. Soon a Negro woman, Mame Smith, was recording them; and in a scant three years the race has come into most complete musical recognition in a field that is essentially their own. One after the other music publishers have been acknowledging the need of race composers if they would have really worthwhile numbers of the Blues type. Heatitating they took on one, then another of our group, till today perhaps every house and every recording company has at least a contributing if not a staff composer who is colored. The Jack Mills Publishing Company, with characteristic progressiveness, has gone them all one better, yes, even more. This concern and attempted to virtually "corner the Blues business." They have been buying the publishing rights and exclusively contracting artists and composers of the race till they are now issuing a special catalogue of "Blues" that includes 60 num- A list of the composers whose work is represented in the catalogue reads like a roll call of "Who's Who" in Negro music. Some of the famed names that adorn the title pages are Will Vodder, who has for years made the musical arrangements for Zeigel's Follies; Henry Creamer, of "Brut, Miss Lizzie" fame; Spencer Williams, Tim Brymum, Chris Smith, Shelton Brooks, Lew Peyton, James P. Johnson, whom Will Marton Cook has declared to be the most versatile pianist of the race; Porter Grainger and Donald Haywood, both of whom have already written a number of musical comedy successes; Bob Warfield, of Stimms and Warfield, and Edgar Bowell. The younger group have not been livestocked, for there is work by Lovie Austin, Joseph Trent, Billy Smytra, both Ollman and Jennie Jobb, Lennel Fowler, a regular member of the house staff; Alex Robinson and Lloyd Smith. Of the artists who have written numbers primarily for their own use, and therefore charged with their personality, there is Alberta Hunter, the most advertised present-day singers; Sarah Martin, whose recent tour was a triumphant march across country; Brad Cooper, Daisy Martin, the col- 10 SARAH MARTIN. Renowed Okeh Artist Who Has Written Several Blues Novelties for the Jack Millis Catalogue. ored girl first to break the barriers of burlesque as a leading lady, and Lena Wilson. It is truly the greatest assemblage of artists of the Negro-race that has ever been presented in one catalogue and the Jack Millis people are featuring the fact in a big advertising campaign that embraces most of the colored papers. The full page ads...that have been appearing in some of our larger publications are but the beginning of a most comprehensive campaign that will mean much to the Negro papers. They have in contemplation a plan whereby the colored fairs, 60 in number, may be visited by some of these artists, and a big exhibition of the company's output be displayed. This will in all probability be conducted in conjunction with one or more of the big recording concerns who are marketing records and rolls of the artists whose work Jack Mills is publishing. The permanency of the purpose to corral the Negro musical talent is best expressed by the fact that in their advertising, they are especially interested in encouraging the younger and newer composers to submit their offerings. Add to this the picture presented by a view of the home office with its big percentage of Negro visitors, the race members of the staff in open evidence, and the ease with which members of our group obtain an interview with the executives, and one begins to believe that the "corner" will be an accomplished fact in a very short time. It is about 80 per cent complete now with a substantial foundation already provided for its completion. Thus has one liberal-minded concern opened wide the gateway for Negroes into a field that very properly belongs to us, yet under whose fence we have heretofore been obliged to crawl, if we would enter. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1923 New Show Opens at the Lafayette Monday Night And We. Find Ourselfs Contemplating the Work of Whitney and Tutt in Musical Comedy When we view a show like that at the Lafayette Theatre this week under the title of "Raisin' Cain," we regret extremely our inability to say we think it is great. when within our hearts we feel that we are simply witnessing something we have seen time without number at Mrs. Down's New Lincoln Theatre in the form of a miniature musical comedy, only at the Lafayette the thing is stretched out to cover two hours. It is at such times that our thoughts revert to Whitney and Tutt and have the realization driven home with force that these two boys are about the only ones who have played consistently over the colored time with shows carrying the thread of a story which is maintained throughout. And too they are about the only ones travelling over such time with shows the song numbers of which, in some of their offerings, stood out prominently and were whistled for months after they left this part of the country. Like a warm breeze from the tropics we were without notice wafted over to the shores of Africa, dear old Africa where the scenes of many a so-called musical comedy are laid but where only the Williams and Walker bunch succeeded in going and returning with something readily understandable and not a vaudeville entertainment thrown together under the guise of a high class and rip roaring musical comedy. We saw African belles on Monday night hovering close to the detail of African habiliments but bringing us modern times high heel shoes which bore out an inconsistency which we expected after the first attempts by a good looking but very amateurish chorus. But if you are looking for vaudeville-like entertainment we think that Buck and Bubbles will satisfy you. Two clever youngsters indeed and the comedy work of Sam Russell and George McClennon kept them laughing e'en though at times it appeared rather heroic, as they were "put to" to furnish this end of the entertainment. Certain of the dances were rather "How Comish," while the novelty of bringing back for a fleeting moment the things done by other shows in that part where the young ladies essayed songs and dances from other productions carried an appeal but reminded us that Irwin Miller had been doing this in Broadway Rantus for a long time. The work of Jean Starr stood out. She has a place in most any show, and this is saying a great deal in these days of many shows. On the program nobody takes the responsibility for the "book" and while Eddie Hunter's book of "How Come" might not have held-consistently to a story, "How Come" set a pace which it will be hard for most any of these new offerings to follow right through here at the Lafayette Theatre. Wills Did Not Appear Although advertised to appear at a benefit midnight affair at the Lafayette Theatre, last week, Harry Wilis did not put in his appearance and the excuse was afterwards offered that he went to witness the big fight between Tom Gibbons and Jack Dempsey at Shelby, Mont. The world is fully aware that Wilis did not go to the fight, the belated plans of Paddy Mullins to challenge Dempsey at the ringside being laid aside for the time being. That the affair was not handled in the right way from an advertising standpoint could be seen when a small audience "set in" patiently Troubles of Our Performers Continue to Be Painted in Humorous Strain Zit's Weekly Continues to Find Race Relish in Telling of "7-11," Jack Johnson's Marital Affairs and Robert Levy's Sad Venture. They are here again. This time Zit's Weekly reached all the way out to Chicago to bring back alleged details of the failure of "7-11." We doubt seriously that the people of this show are "walking back" from the West, as we saw many of them on Seventh avenue, but the white folks must have their laugh on and off the stage, and our people must furnish it. We are also reproducing an earful of the troubles of Raymond O'Neil and the Ethiopian Art Theatre, in which they tell us that Robert Levy, formerly general manager of the Quality Amusement Corporation, did not fare so well. Also it would seem that Jack Johnson is in bad, as a rift is rumored in what Zit calls the rosy romance of the former world's champion. This is the kind of stuff they are handling out on Broadway, while many performers are telling you that their own colored papers are not speaking, of them Read and satisfy yourselves: "Seven-Eleven" Cast Seeking Funde to Reach Broadway. It seems, in the light of recent theatrical events in Chicago, that the negro company which just closed there in "Seven-Eleven" will have to resort to a game wherein those numbers appear advantageously, if they want to earn their fare back to Harlem. For it was learned this week that the thirty Moorish ladies and gentlemen that compose this production are as much stranded in Chicago as Robinson Crusoe was on his deserted island. To them the prospect of Chicago's Little Africa appeals little. They lament for Old Harlem with its wide avenues, its dashing negro bucks and svelte high yaller gals. But only one thing stands in the way of their entraining for their Eden. And that is, according to Attorney Ell Johnson, of 1540 Broadway, the fact that Robert Levy, of 226 West Forty-sixth street, part owner of "Seven-Eleven" refuses to "come through" with the salary of the company for the last two weeks. Gerland Howard, negro entertainer and whirlwind dancer, acting for the colored company, wired to Johnson this week that Levy refused to send him any money to pay the actors and pleaded with Johnson to "talk turkey" with Levy, and see if he can't pry him loose from all or part of the $3,500 said to be due the company for the last two weeks in Chicago. They ask for the money so that they may be delivered with whole skins to their haven, New York's Little Africa. It is said that Levy has refused to make the salary payment because he insists that for the last weeks of the show in Chicago the actors of the company have not been doing their best. Levy became a part owner of "Seven-Eleven" while it was playing at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem some months ago. It was then known by the outlandish name at "Zigabo Land." He is said to have received the box office receipts of the show nightly by check in New York. The others who own half of the show are all negro entertainers in the company, Barrington Carter. Speedy Smith, Garland Howard and Samuel Cook. They have delegated to Howard the power of attorney for them. awaiting the arrival of Willis. In this day and time one can secure a magic name to help draw a crowd, but one must shout and let the world know instead of whispering. RIFT RUMORED IN EX - CHAMPION'S ROSY ROMANCE All is not so well within the House of Johnson for a ramor struck Broadway this week to the effect that Lucille Johnson, wife of the famous Jack, once heavyweight champion of the world and now both fighter and actor, may institute proceedings for divorce. It is said by those who know her well that Mrs. Johnson doubts her husband's fidelity and will attempt to secure a divorce on that ground. It is also stated, however, that in the event of such a suit transpiring, Johnson will probably contest the action. Lucille Johnson, a white woman, whose former name was Lucille Cameron, was a dancer in productions at the time of her marriage to Jack Johnson. The couple met abroad, and Johnson became very much attracted by her beauty. Evidently she also became interested in Jack, for they married shortly afterward. The couple have been married now about ten years, and Lucille Johnson is not more than 36 or 27 at the present time. The report that Jack and his wife may soon be separated comes as a great surprise to most people, in view of the fact that Jack and Lucille have always been known as a couple who were very much attached to one another. It was only eight or nine months ago that It's Weekly published several poems composed by Jack that attracted a great deal of attention throughout the country. Some of these poems were written while Jack was in Leavenworth prison and others were written at various other times that Jack was not handy around the house. But all of the poems were inspired by his wife and all of them were addressed to her. Jack Johnson is at present in Margate, N. J., a small town just outside of Atlantic City, where Jack Dempsey did his training for the Carpenter fight. It is understood that Jack plans an early return to the ring, and, with that in mind, he is working off a bit of the surplus: flesh acquired during his recent inactive days. A sad, sad thing has befallen Raymond O'Neil, intrepid impresario of negro art on these shores. He is fallen from grace, and since his venture in introducing the players of the Ethiopian Art Theatre in New York, has been a financial failure, he has seen a means, and it is alleged an illegal one, to line his own purse. His alleged victim, who claims he was mulcted for upwards of $3,500, is Robert Levy, an officer of the Syndicate Attractions Circuits, Inc., who interests himself in the work of negro performers. According to the statements he made to his attorneys, Herman P. Spellman and Anton Siegal in the Galley Theatre Building, Levy gave much good American currency to O'Nell, which the dapper patron and tireless servant of negro art is alleged to have misappropriated. Today O'Nell is found in his accustomed haunts, not quite as free as a bird of the air, for he is under $1,000 ball. charged with grandlarceny on Levy's complaint. Levy, according to his attorneys, interested himself in the work of the Ethiopian Art Theatre when O'Nell brought them from Chicago to play "Galome" and other plays at the Fraser Theatre. When Drama and Comedy Offall, came to his office, Levy magnate, could not fall to his im- says, he looked so dapper, so sage, pressed by his elegance and per- and was, so convincing that the sonal charm.

St.) One of Five Men Said to Have Attempted to Hold Up Greeley Garage One of the five colored men who are said to have attempted to rob the cashier's office of the Greylay Garage. 351 West 40th street, was shot twice Sunday by Albert Gordon, one of the owners of the place. The garage operates the Mogul Checker taxicab service and a fleet of sightseeing buses operating between Times Square and Coney Island. In the cashier's office was a large sum of money taken in Saturday night, and Gordon, who has a permit to carry a revolver, was guarding the receipts when the five men entered. Gordon said he recognized the leader as a man who was ejected from the premises on Friday night. In the intruder's hand, Gordon declared, he thought he saw a pistol, so he fired twice, both bullets taking effect. Detectives were summoned to the garage and a search was instituted at once for the four men, while the injured man was taken unconscious to Bellevue Hospital and was made a prisoner on the charge of attempted robbery. His name was entered on the police blotter as John Robinson, 30 years old, of 333 West 29th street. Curiosity Cost Man Exactly Five Dollars Benjamin Hore's curiously as to what was going on in a crowd in front of the Dyckman Street Ferry resulted in his being arraigned in the Washington Heights Court Monday and fined $5 or five days for disorderly conduct. Detective Edward D. Hanretta said that when he told Hope to move on that the former resisted him. Hope, who lives at 510 Lenox avenue, said that he was about to board the ferry when he heard cries of "Kill the N—" and he went to see what was the matter. Harrettte, he then said, came up and began to handle him roughly, and when he remonstrated, pulled a gun and thrust it into his ribs. Mrs. Hope said that she also remonstrated and the detective thrust the revolver into her side. The cause of the crowd was a fight between Paul Zaninetti, white, of Battle Hill Club, White Plains, N. Y., and Clarence Knox, 508 Lenox avenue. Knox, it is alleged, struck Zaninetti with a bar of iron across his face, necessitating several stitches over the eye and breaking his nose. The quarrel between the two arose over an automobile collision. Knox waived examination and was held in $2,000 ball for General Sessions. HARLEM HAS SANE FOURTH OF JULY The Fourth of July passed over without a single Negro fatality being recorded as a result of the holiday celebration, which cost the lives of ten people in New York City. Daniel Holder, 40, 75 East 187th Street, was struck by a stray bullet in the index finger and was treated at the Harlem Hospital. Truly, Harlan had a safe and safe Fourth of July. AN ENTERPRISE THAT MERITS YOUR SUPPORT AN ENTERPRISE THAT MERITS YOUR SUPPORT Notwithstanding the amount of shipping that is now lying idle in the harbors and docks of the United States, ocean travelers are still obliged to pay high rate for trans-Atlantic travel, and an unperalleled opportunity to build up the American Merchant-Marine is being lost. Recognizing this fact, and realizing that the time was opportune for an undertaking of this nature, the organizers of the Great Northern Steamship Co. formed their corporation, which received its charter from the State of Massachusetts, October 11, 1923. They visualised a new ocean steamship line, flying between Boston and European ports, controlled by the people, which would offer to these same people a chance for ocean travel on comfortable commodious ships, at a price within the reach of all, but large enough to allow a profit for the investor and a sufficient margin to allow for the carrying on and enlarging of the enterprise. This was theft threshold purpose—to render a genuine service to the people—to help build up American shipping—and to bring business and trade to the port of Boston. In spite of the failure of the Ship Subsidy Bill, in spite of the opposition which each new competitor in an established field encountered, this company is bringing its plans to maturity and expects that very soon it will be able to offer definite sailing dates to the public. This, surely, is an enterprise that morits your support. THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1923 ALL A HORSE-SIDE.

The hospitals now has fifteen patients. Colored nurses are on duty, but white physicians are in charge. Previous to the formal hearing Director Hines inspected the hospital as the guest of Col. R. H. Stanley, commanding nurses, and was closed when the officers and faculty of Tuskegee Institute. Following the parade July 3 of 700 Klanesman, John Callhoun, who had been assigned to the hospital as an accountant, boarded a departing train in the afternoon. Dr. Moton, who was in New York several days ago, is said to be on his vacation. It will be remembered that some few weeks ago he was charged by a vaterans' organization with consenting to the use of white physicians at the hospital, but in a speech before the Association of Trade and Commerce of this city he stoutly denied the authenticity of this report. However, a daily newspaper in a dispatch from Birmingham states that "Dr. Moton has consistently stood for a white personnel in command, and Tuskegee citizens are friendly to him." In editorial asking that troops from the 28th U. S. Infantry be sent to Tuskegee, the Washington Tribune says that "the Government has made a mistake in placing the hospital at Tuskegee, but it must be by its mistakes and protect its property. Shall it be the K. K. K. or the U. S. at the Tuskegee Hospital?" Comparative statistics are included in the editorial, showing that while Alabama has a white population of 1,447,832 and a Negro population of 900,652 during the war 38,172 Negroes answered the call to the colors, as against only 29,674 whites. White resignations of Tunkagoe feel confident that no colored man will be appointed to a high position at the hospital since Director Hines right. AMSTERDAM REPORTER INTERVIEWS DR. KENNE A reporter of the Amsterdam News after trying to locate Dr. Kenney all day Monday meet at a dinner at Renaissance Cinema. The reporter tried every art knight's new wapperman to get the doctor to speak, but he was non-committal and the reporter could worm nothing from him. "Have you left on compulsion?" asked the reporter. "You will pardon me if I don't say." "When do you expect to return?" "That will be telling you." laughed the doctor. "Now doctor," said the reporter in a confidential tone, "will you tell me for my own satisfaction and not for publication whether you think Dr. Motson is really interested in getting a staff of Negro physicians." The doctor started to reply then checked himself. "I really prefer to say nothing on the subject," he finished. Dr. Kenney was called to Tuskegee at the instance of Booker T. Washington. He was indored by the National Negro Medical Association for superintendent of the Negro War Veterans Hospital. DR. CANNON WORKS WED. Dr. G. E. K. Cannon of Jersey City, chairman of the Executive Board of the association, doubts reports from the South that Gen. Hines, head of the War Veterans Bureau, has given up his original purpose to appoint a Negro personnel. "As late as June 22," said Dr. Cannon, "we had a lengthy conference with him in Washington, when half of the personnel was agreed upon. No matter what the press dispatches say following Gen. Hines' visit to Taukegue, we do not believe he is going to break faith with us. It is absurd to think the United States Government is going to be bulldozed by the Ku Kuxi Party. Canon says telegraphic reports that Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Taukegue Institute, has "consistently contended for a white personnel" are just the opposite of the truth. Protests have been sent to Gen. Hines by William Services, Bell, commander of Charles Young, Post, American Legion, asking removal of Col. Stanley as superintendent. 4 STOWAWAYS DIE IN LEAP Thursday night and anchored in close proximity in mid-channel off Quarantine. The 12 stowaways who were discovered aboard the Vesuki shortly after that vessel had left Triflabra, were put to work on the voyage north and placed in the brig at night, to be turned over in the immigration authorities for deportation in the morning. "Man Overboard." Not until the last man had wrigled through the portside of the brig did the bridge watch become aware of the fact that they had. Visitors at Laster Cottage were: Miss Frances Grant, Cambridge, Mass., and Miss Brielle O. Bird, Boston, Mass., both instructors at Bordentown Training School, Bordentown, N. J. Prof. W. R. Valentine, principal, Bordentown Training School and Prof. Arthur T. Long, Indianapolis, Indiana, were guests at the Laster Cottage at the weak end. effected their escape. The cry of "man overboard" and the subsequent shrieks of several of the Negroes, who were being swept up by the tide, aroused the passengers of both vessels, many coming up on deck to witness the attempts at rescue. It was shortly after 2 o'clock when Capt. Samuel Taylor, of the Vasari, ordered his first officer, William C. Blake, and several members of the crew to lower a boat, and the battle against the tide began in the darkness. They rowed frantically against the current, making slow progress in the direction from which they last heard a feeble cry for help, and had almost agreed to abandon the search when the boat was no longer in motion, buoyed by a lifebelt, floating slowly by. Then a second was sighted. They were quickly hauled aboard, taken back to the liner and revived. After an all-night vigil on water and land, immigration authorities felt certain that the four stowaways who were unaccounted for had been victims of the swift current, to which, although expert swimmers, they were unaccounted. The temperature of the water of the lower bay might also have affected their endurance, it was said, for swimming off this coast is vastly different from diving and splashing in a tideless, tropical harbor.

The colored race now has a total of 45 women physicians, surgeons and osteopaths in the country according to figures just compiled by the Department of the Interior through the Howard University. There are five colored women who practice dentistry in the United States. Other statistical facts collected show that the average yearly in- crease of colored physicians is 63, when the race actually needs to take care of the health of its people an annual increase of at least 450. The average number of additional colored dentists graduating every year. Howard University officials claim, is 63, while there should be 500. The same condition applies with regard to trained nurses, 90 being turned out each year when 600 are needed to administer to the sick among the colored people. One of the interesting features of the data collected by the University is that there are more colored physicians and dentists practicing in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Cleveland and Chicago than in all the sixteen Southern States combined, where fully 5,000,000 colored people live.

Sunday was a red letter day in old Abingdon despite the absence of the pastor, Dr. Powell. We were gradually favored with having one of the outstanding women of our race in the person of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs as a speaker for both services. The Chairman of the Trustee Board, Mr. Nelson Dixon, provided at the services and introduced Miss Burroughs by a quotation from that famous book by Benjamin Kidd, "The Science of Power." Miss Burroughs then began to talk from the text, "The word made flesh," and stirred the audience by her vivid personality, her shameful fervor, and her dedication to the cause of humanity. Her illustrations were unusual as well as very practical. In the evening the audience again thronged the specious auditorium to listen to her final message. "What Man Have Found Out About Women." The outstanding points of her final message was that women were men's eye-openers and that it took women to civilise men. The audience responded to the appeal made in behalf of her school, The National Training School for Girls, Lincoln Heights, Washington, D.C., and gave her $153.25. In the afternoon Rev. Dr. H. Art. Booker, pastor of St. Paul's Baptist Church, delivered the annual sermon to the Patience Lodge K. of P. Dr. Booker's unique, interesting style he preached a great sermon. The collection for the day was $1,698.23. Seventeen persons united with the church. The largest check coming from any individual outside of the church membership was one of $500 received last Sunday from Mr. Walt Trimble, President of the Bank for Savings. This sum was given in memory of Laura Peace, a member of Abstraint, who worked in the Trimble family for 51 years. These years of service and friendship were memorialized in the most beautiful of the church. Other contributions Sunday to the Building Fund were $50 from some white Baptist ladies through the Baptist City Mission Society; $10 from Rosa L. Ledarr and Company, a firm of undertakers on West 123rd street; Mr. Watt Terry, the well-known real estate operator, $50. This makes the second contribution Mr. Terry has given to the Building Fund. Rav. Dr. S. W. Smith will presch at both services next Sunday. MOTHER ZION CHURCH Eleven o'clock service at Mother Zion Church. Sunday was well attended. It was announced that every Sunday would be Building Fund Day during the construction of the new church. Pledge cards were given to the members were asked to take blanks and help raise the money. The sermon was prescheduled by the pastor, Dr. Brown, subject: "Why Should Men Go to Church?

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JULY 11, 1923 WEEK DAY SERMONETTES A Command and a Promise Matt. 7:7-8—"Ank and it will be given you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." THE Lord Jesus meant these words not only for the people to whom He spoke in that matchless sermon on the Mount, but also for all people everywhere for all time. They seem to be especially applicable to the Negro in the United States, because to him so many privileges are denied, advantages hidden and doors closed, that he must continually ask, seek and knock in order to throw off the handicaps of slavery, ignorance and superstition that stand in the way of his coming into his own. Therefore, my prayer is that the Negro in this country will think of the Scripture which we consider this week as coming from the burning heart of lesus'direct to him. "Ask," is the first command, followed by the promise, "it will be given you." If, as a race, we would regard this command and promise as meant for us personally, we should not have to get along without so many things that would be ours for the asking. Without intending to overlook or make any excuse for the white man's prejudice against the Negro, it is but fair to say that if we would ask for them, many things denied us now would be given. White men are ready to help us get better accommodations on the railroads. But we are not asking for them. The masses of our people, many of them Negroes of wealth and education, suffer the humiliation of the present "Jim Crew" regulars out a word of complaint. This outrage is only truly that, when an occasional Negro protests and asks for better accommodations, he is looked upon by some as an agitator. Too many of our big men stand in with the conductor and ride at reduced rates. Those who do obligate themselves to the extent that they cannot protest against anything. They are paying too much for the little rebate they get. It is costing them self-respect and the freedom to ask for better treatment on carrier carriers. The Corporation Commission is supported by public taxation. The Negro, therefore, contributes to its maintenance. That Commission, I know from personal experience, will investigate every complaint brought before it. I will refer reference to the completion of the complaint. Much could be done inward making better conditions if, in appreciable numbers, we would ask that it be done. We suffer as a race in many respects because we fail to use our asker. In the matter of paths, playgrounds, water, lights, sewer, better school facilities, etc., we ask, not only because of the white man's prejudice, but also because we do not ask for relief along these lines. If we ask, and in the interest of the Negro child, for the things which rightly belong to us, fair-matched blacks will join us in the appeal until it is granted. We know this because of past experiences and because God's word says, "Ak and it will be given you." "Book and you will end," is the second command, succeeded by a promise. For some things it is only necessary to ask. But for others we must seek. We must seek opportunities, advantages and friendships. These do not come just for the asking. Let us members of the Negro race band our energies towards seeking a remedy for all racial ill. This can be done through interracial cooperation—the practice of the better element of both races getting together, in every community for the express purpose of making local conditions contribute to the well-being of all concerned. If we can influence, control, opportunity, influence, and the adding influence of the Holy Spirit, they will be found; and with them an experience of such "peace on earth and good will towards men" as we prophesied by the angels who announced in song the birth of Jesus to the gentle shepherds of Judea. Our text says, also: "Knock and the door will be opened to you." To ask for that which is plaintly before us and unquestionably our own, to seek for desirable privileges and hidden friends, is not enough. We must knock at closed doors which keep us from the best things of life until those doors are opened. We have not space to discuss, the many doors upon which it is our privilege to knock. Just let your thinker work and a sold of service will open before you calculated to deepen your obligation to God.

Wednesday, July 11, 1923 We're Proud of You, John "I used to see a mule pulling and straining at a two-hoss plow, and I pitied him. But he got used to it. And that's the way it is in the pit. I thought once that I couldn't stand up. I couldn't lift that shovel another time. But I could. Every time I think I can't I find I can. All I have to do is to quit thinking. The minutes you take your coat off and go to work here, you're hooked. I have only one ambition. If I can give my son a little education so he won't have to work in this mill—that's all I ask!" —Reply of a colored man asked by a reporter if he liked the twelve-hour-day in the steel mills. More Traffic Officers Needed WITH THE REPEAL of the Mullan-Gage act many policemen have been made available for use in regulating traffic in Harlem—but not colored Harlem. Traffic officers, we are told, will soon be placed at Lexox avenue and One Hundred and Sixteenth street, Seventh and Lenox avenues at One Hundred and Tenth street, and at St. Nicholas avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. WHAT ABOUT "death's corners," at Seventh avenue and One Hundred and Thirty-fifth and One Hundred and Thirty-eighth streets? There are no two crossings in Harlem so much in need of traffic officers. Motion Should Resign IT IS HARD for us to believe the statement published in a daily newspaper last Saturday that Robert R. Moton has "consistently stood for a white personnel in command" at the War Veterans' Hospital in Tukegee, Alabama. In our opinion the drillmaster has not stood consistently either for whites or Negroes. Despite his utterances in New York recently, when he addressed the Association of Trade and Commerce, his stand is still unknown. WHAT HE HAS DONE we know. He has muddled the situation to such an extent that it is difficult to tell heads or tails about it. And all because he did not make his position known. At whose instance the Government decided to erect the hospital at Tuskegee we do not know. We do know, however, that it was a mistake, and that Dr. Moton must have known about it and consented to it, because it stands on property formerly owned by the institution of which he is the head. Having consented to let the Government erect the hospital at Tuskegee, we know that any man with an ounce of sense would have settled the question of personnel before a spade of earth was turned. How Dr. Moton settled this question no one seems to know. Whether he settled it at all no one seems to know. The white crackers of Alabama, though, state that they would never have consented to the erection of the hospital at Tuskegee without assurance that the higher places to be filled would be filled with whites. This may or may not be a lie. However, if they had such an understanding, with whom did they have it? With Dr. Moton? Who knows? CLEARLY, Robert R. Moton ought to resign his position as principal of Tuskegee Institute. His unknown stand in regard to the hospital is now beside the question. His usefulness to Tuskegee and the race is at an end. No man who will permit himself to be so continuously misunderstood on public questions is fit to teach the youth of the race. Cherchez le Negre WHENEVER a white girl is found murdered by an unknown person the police immediately set out to "find the Negro," and in the South the first colored man found generally pays the penalty. In the North it is not quite so bad, but if within the previous fortnight a colored man is seen near the scene of the murder he is arrested and subjected to a brutal third degree examination. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED last week when the body of a young white girl, who had been murdered, was found in the home of her employer in Scarsdale, New York. Almost without an investigation of any kind the police concluded that a colored man killed the girl. Why? Simply because a colored man had been seen near the house, who, it was later found out, was looking for work. No sooner did the police make this conclusion than the New York WORLD, which is usually very fair in its reports, took up the cry with: "GOVERNESS SLAIN WITH LONG KNIFE; POLICE HUNT NEGRO." We quote further from the WORLD'S report: "Fingerprints on the knife and on a package of crackers dropped by a six-foot Negro, as he hurried from the vicinity of the Craighead home Tuesday afternoon, folding up his coat to hide bloodstains with which the garment is believed to have been covered, may establish the identity of the murderer." A COLORED MAN was arrested and released after proving conclusively that he had nothing to do with the affair. A white man was then arrested, who proved that he had nothing to do with it, either. Meanwhile, the real culprit has had time to get three thousand miles away from the scene of the murder. All because, instead of the police seeking the murderer, they sought the Negro. STATISTICS prove that colored people are not any more given to such crimes than any, other racial group in the United States. If the police set out to "find the murderer"—white, colored, Jew or Gentile—when murder is committed, they would have less trouble finding him. EXPRESSED BY CONTEMPORARIES DECREASE IN LYNCHINGS (From the Sun and Globe) The decrease in lynchings in the United States in the first six months of 1923 ever the same period of 1922, as reported by the National Association to the Advancement of Colored People, can be attributed in part to the recent strong agitation for a Federal anti-lynch law. The Dyer bill was talked to death by Southern advocates of States rights, but the more presentation of the bill and the earnestness of its sponsors succeeded in convincing them that the Southern States must solve this problem. If the South, as its spokesmen insisted and as the recent prompt action of the authorities in Savannah would seem to prove, can prevent lynchings without assistance from the Federal Government, so much the better. This list of lynchings in 1923 indicates that the South is for almost the first time making a serious effort to root out this evil. It may also be attributed in part to the alarm felt in the South at the continued migration of Negro laborers into the North. Deserted cotton fields present a telling argument in favor of better treatment for the Negro race as a whole. NEGRO DOCTORS FOR NEGRO PATIENTS (From the New York World) Tuskegee, Ala., is in an uprere over race supremacy. The question has been raised, not by Tuskegee Institute, which never has offended the townpeople in its forty years, but by the new $2,000,000 Federal hospital for the treatment of Negro war veterans. The leading citizens of Tuskegee state that they never would have allowed the hospital to be built in their neighborhood if the Government had not provided for control by white men. They say they will not allow the hospital to open with Negroes in charge. The Negroes make no reply, but no change have been made in the orders of Director Hines of the Veterans' Hospital that a Negro personnel be installed. If Director Hines feels that he may assemble a Negro personnel equal in medical and surgical skill to any white staff available for the duty, there should be no change. The problem is clinical, not social. It is to be regretted if representations were made to the citizens of Tuskegee that control would go to white men. This seems to be the point which has caused the issue to be widely advertised and has changed a medical problem into a racial situation. However dangers that situation may be, the situation lies in following the rule of medical efficiency. All other phases of the question are dwarfed by the prime consideration—that of the welfare of the Negro war veterans. If their interests are best furthered by doctors of their own race, and such doctors are found to be equal in skill to available white colleagues, the racial sensitivity of leading citizens and all questions of local pride and patronage are not worthy of consideration.

Published by The Macmillan Co., New York City. THIS second volume of Mr. Oberholtzer's history deals with the reconstruction period and one turns to it with eager interest believing that an historical piece of work, written at the close of Europe's tremendous conflict, will have a fresh point of view toward our own great war. No longer do we need to have any Civil War veterans tell us of the horror of the battle, of the hatred left in the heart of the vanquished or the fear in the heart of the victor. We have seen the working class in revolution striving to gain something out of cancelsym that has overthrown the power of their former masters. So when we think of South and North in 1866, one bankrupt, the other impoverished at the end of a four years' struggle of the destruction of slavery and effort to build up a new society and a new government in the face of intense antagonism, we look at France and Germany, at England and Russia, and feel that a flood of light has been thrown upon our own past. At least that was what I supposed anyone must feel who thought on reconstruction, but no new suggestions have troubled the mind of this very careful historian. His book could have received 15 years ago, for all the present day thought there is in it. It is libel all our recent reconstruction books written under the influence either of Rhodes or of Dunning, an account of the politics of the time with especial sympathy for the aristocratic party of the South, with condemnation for the carpenter-bagger, with a word of uncertainties praise for the teacher of the Negro and a complete ignoring of the black man himself. When one realizes that this is the most stupendous period, not only in our own history but in almost any history, to have the same old diarist served up to us is very hard to hear. We are close to reconstruction. It is possible today, though it will not be possible for many years more, to get the story first hand. Supporting we could not only read the hieroglyphics but could talk with the Egyptians who put the offerings in Tut-Akh-Akhen's tomb. There would surely be an exodus of reporters going after interviews. Very likely, however, the historians would stay at home, as Mr. Oberhoffer has done, as history seems to match itself with real life. Our author turns wholly to the hieroglyphics. His foot notes are almost without exception names of current newspapers, North and South, as though one should write a history of the World War from the press at that time. His of a great government.

He speaks of the various assemblies in 1881 and 1898 as "agrarian and revolutionary" and on one page gives us a taintling gimpee of what these assemblies debated, their proposal that no grain be used for a year for intoxicating liquor but be kept for bread; that Negroes collect from their masters $10 for services since emancipation, January 1, 1883. But these same legislators soon become "Sambos" and "Coffees" to the writer, and he slips back to the usual political material. There is more that is new in the two or three recent short articles in the "Messenger on Reconstruction" than in this ponderous volume. We know all we need to know of the politics, of the opinions of the South toward the North, and the North toward the South, after the Civil War. What we need to know is what really happened on the estates. A true study such as that would interpret leaching and passage today, it might give us hope, too, who knew?

BY THE HAMITIC LEAGUE.) SUPPOSE that some one should tell you that the ancient Greeks believed that Aurora, the goddess of the dawn and driver of the chariot of the sun, was an aggravating brown! What would you say? Yet that is exactly what those cold-storage birds once taught, and they claimed that every evening after her drive, Aurora went home to her hubby, Tithonus, in Ethiopia. One day Aurora gavb birth to a little boy and they called him Mennon. He became one of the greatest heroes of the ancient world. In his youth he left home and built the city of Thebes, in Egypt, that numbered and a thousand temples. When he grew tired of that, he blew over to Persia and helped his dad build the Persian city of Susa. Just about this time the Trojan war started. Priam, king of Troy, was Memnon's uncle, and when things began to get too hot, Priam sent out the S. O. 3. for Memnon to come and help him maul the Greeks. Memnon came with an army of Ethicplians and Persian. In single combat he fought Achilles, the Grecian heavyweight, and, after a terrible contest, copped a knockout. The whole city of Troy went into mourning for this black champion, and, as his body rested upon the prince, Aurora swept down in her sun charlot and snatched him away. And the Greeks believed that the dew found on the flowers and grass in the morning were the tears Aurora still weeps for her baby boy. "Opportunity" for July The July issue of "Opportunity," a magazine published by the Department of Research and Investigations of the National Urban League, contains such articles as "Race Relations and Public Opinion," by Graham Romeye Taylor; "Public Opinion and the Negro," by Charles S. Johnson; "A Librarian in Harlem," by Ernestine Rose; "Community Service Training School"; by A Group of Teachers; by A. C. Hicklow; "Ups and Downs of a Negro School, Boy in the South," by T. O. Fuller, and "Negroes at Work in the United States." Mr. Johnson, in his article on "Public Opinion and the Negro," writes in part: "In the study of the influence of public opinion on race relations we are dealing with three important and highly sensitive elements: the facts upon which this opinion rests, the theories about these facts, and, most important of all, the actions based on the theories. There are certain physical facts that do not change. It is not the purpose to deny or make apologies for the existence of them, whatever they are, but with respect to these there is a disposition to assume that the theories about the facts are as unchanging as the facts themselves; to deny the fact when it contradicts the theory; and to see facts when they do not do cause the theory demands them. There are again generalizations and theories built upon those assumed and actual facts that do change as society develops, and as false statements are refuted and new facts come to light. It is on these theories that the layman is most frequently confounded. Yet upon these as a basis he is constantly acting." Miss Brentline Rose contributes an interesting article on "A Librarian in Harlem," in which she says in one of the paragraphs: "The 135th Street Library itself is the most active experiment station for racial adjustment. Two southern girls have been on the staff during the winter, one as a permanent assistant, one for practice work during her student course at Fratt Institute. The first, characterised by a certain thoughtful radicalism, has gained a background and foundation for her opinions. The latter is learning that educated and refined colored girls are of the same stuff as white, and that they may live and work together." After giving a brief resume of Negro artists and students, Mr. Francis C. Holbrook in his article on "A Group of Negro Artists," concludes: "There has been an increasing number of exhibits of Negro painting during the past few years, all of which served to indicate the rapid progress that the Negro is making in art." The cover is a crayon drawing of Henry O. Tanner, the renowned Negro artist of Paris, by Francis C. Holbrook. "Opportunity" is published at 157 East 32rd street, New York City. J. E.

It involves not only the man and woman who are married, but also the children born under this contract, and society at large. This aspect of marriage is most important in tuberculosis. The child and society have interests to conserve in this contract quite as important as those of the married pair, the chief of which are the health of the child and the health of the community. Tuberculosis is a social disease. It is infectious, and close contact spreads the malady. To limit this disease and prevent its development in others is the chief aim of civilised communities today. Should a tubercular man or woman marry? Does the resulting offspring of such a marriage inherit or acquire tuberculosis? Does child bearing revive a dormant or early tuberculosis in the woman, and hasten her death? These are the important questions to answer. If the answer is "yes," then society should know the course to pursue in order to limit the spread of this disease, and each individual man or woman should be taught the correct answer in order that each may act to the best interest of the child and society at large. How, then, does medical science answer these questions? Medical science has found that tuberculosis is infection—that is, a healthy individual, coming in close contact with another suffering with tuberculosis, invariably makes the germ through the dust particles the air, or by actual personal contact through biosing, or the use of the same spoon, dish or glass; the tubercular germ enters the mouth and proceeds on its pathway to the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs. Marriage invariably brings about this close, intimate and personal contact. It is important, therefore, that the presence or absence of tuberculosis be known before the man and woman-take the marriage vow. A physical examination then by a competent physician should be preexistence before the ring is placed upon the finger, and if tuberculosis is discovered love should find a way to abandon a precipitate career of married misery and future unhealthy children. Laws to prevent unhealthy people marrying are hessical; the element of personal liberty, like in that of prohibition, will prevent the true functioning of the law, and clandestine and unlawful contacts will result. The only way, is by health education and information. Let the young man and woman realize the misery that surely result when tuberculosis join with a throttling clap husband and wife, and finally lays its stranglehold upon the child. Medical science says with a --- clarion voice that a tubercular man or woman should not marry, and this information should be so prevalent and decisive that none would want to enmarry until he is thoroughly cured of this disease. Every mother and father loves his or her child. This is a law of nature and love always protects. The health of the child is always paramount with the parent, but ignorance or the lack of information relative to the development of disease quite often offsets the natural wishes of good health for the child. The result is that a child is born with a low resistance and hereditary defect from an unsuspected tubercular parent. Science has shown that the skin is not hereditary, the child of tubercular parents inherits a low resistance of the body, and the child then becomes a prey to any disease with which it comes in contact as the days go on. Is this fair to the child? Doomed by its own parents to a life of sickness and misery before it has a chance to help itself! This may sound harsh but the facts are there. Social workers and physicians see it and health information and education the only means love will find to stop this alonabut on innocent hybrids. Again, experience says for the good of the child a tubercular man or woman should not marry. A young child is always at a disadvantage in life without the watchful care and nurture of its mother. A motherless child has the pity of the world. Tuberculosis is guilty of many a mother's early death. This is due to the transformation of an inactive and early case of. tuberculosis into a severe and active one, by the strenuous stress of pregnancy. Often do, blushing bride bloom and become fullful and soon die, leaving a handicapped and motherless, a burden to society. Again experience proves that a tubercular man or woman should not marry. Mutual love, self-interest and sex interests must and can be subordinated to the interest of the child and society, if health education and information be widely disseminated, and the picture of misery and sickness be so forcefully presented, that protective reason overpowers unreasoning love.
