FIRST WIFE OF U.N.I.A. HEAD RAIDS APARTMENT
Trimmvirate Left in Charge of Organization Pleads for Opportunity to Make Good—Liberty Hall to Be Sold.
Securely shackeled between two agents of the Department of Justice Marcus Garvey was handed over to the warden of Atlanta Penitentiary Sunday evening, to begin serving his five-year sentence for alleged use of the mails to defraud. After payment of a fine of $1,000 he will be deported to the West Indies, if plans of the department are successful. Garvey was arrested Thursday night at the 125th street station of the New York Central Railroad. Just 10 blocks south of his organization headquarters, at 58 West Fifth street, by department of Justice Agent James Amos, a Negro was largely instrumental in bringing about his conviction. Amos was accompanied by two other agents. Protesting that he was on his way to give himself up, Garvey was taken off the train and lodged in the famous Tombe Prison. He was to have surrendered himself at noon of that day or forfeit his ball of $15,000.
"This is an outrage." Garvey asserted as he and his wife alighted on the station platform. "You didn't have to do this at all. I was just coming to surrender."
"I'll tell you one thing," he continued. "I'm going to get even with all the people. If it takes me 30 years. And you fellows, too."
There was considerable stir in the Federal Court yesterday when Garvey was arraigned. Several hundred of his followers were on hand and as he was led into the room he attempted to make a speech, but was refrained from doing so by Judge A. N. Hand. He asked three days' liberty for commencing his sentence, but this was denied. So was his application for bail pending application to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari.
Garvey still declares his conviction in "Africa for the Africans," a prospect which he sees "in a hun

Enjoyed Association of Noted White and Negro Composers and Singers—Began Career
Mrs. Daisy Tapley, one of the leading musicians of the race, died at her home, 165 West 136th street, on Thursday, a victim of cancer. She had been sick for some time and went to the hospital, where, after an operation, the cancer was discovered. Knowing the incurable nature of this malady, the doctors are said to have kept her ignorant of the real cause.
Mrs. Tapley was very well known in musical circles, white and colored. Her opinion on musical matters was held in the highest regard.
She enjoyed the association of noted singers and musicians as Harry Burleigh, Clarence Cameron
Clarence Eddy and Amiel Llebbling, famous pianists.
Charlene Gady and Katherine Fleming, famous plantists.
She was also former organist and choirmaster at Coordock Baptist Church, Brooklyn, and first contralto soloist at St. Mark's M. E. Church, of which she was a member. She was a prima-donna in noted william and walker productions.
Mrs. Tapley was born in Big Rapids, Mich. Funeral services were held at St. Mark's Church Monday afternoon. Many Soral offerings were sent by her numerous friends. She was buried at Big Harbor, L. I., where she was buying a home.
Telegrams of condolence from all over the country have been received by Mine Minnie Brown.

She enjoyed the association of noted singers and musicians as Harry Burleigh, Clarence Cameron White, Florence Cole-Talbert and Roland Hayes. In 1915 she was one of a famous quartette, whose other members were Burleigh, Hayes, and Miss Minnie Brown, her bosom friend, with whom she lived. The quartette gave recitals in leading halls in Boston, New York, and other cities.
Mrs. Tapley taught voice and piano and had a large number of pupils. She was perhaps the first to establish educational recitals, which has since done so much in developing the musical activities of the race.
Mrs. Tapley began her musical career at an early age. At twelve she was organist at Quail Chapel, Chicago. She was a pupil of

Stabbed When He Kicked of Service
Herbert Butler in Hospital Not Expected to Live
Live
In Harlem Hospital, with many stab wounds in his body and not expected to live, is Herbert Butler, 128 West 124th street. His alleged assailant, James White, elevator operator at 12614 West 127th street, was arrested on a charge of felonious assault pending the outcome of Butler's injuries.
Butler, it is said, had gone to the apartment to call on Mrs. Jennie Poland, one of the tenants. He pushed the elevator button and White took some time to respond, whereupon Butler is said to have scolded him for his tardiness. An argument ensued over the quality of the service in the building, during which White is said to have drawn a Boy Scout knife, stabbing Butler repeatedly in the face, neck and abdomen.
Butler staggered from the building and was picked up by Edward Gaynor, 196 Edgecombe avenue, a taxi chauffeur, who was passing, and rushed to Harlem Hospital.
According to the police, White has confessed to the stabbing. He is said to have told John Black, superintendent of the building, "I fixed one fellow so he won't stick about service again in a hurry." Black telephoned Harlem Hospital for an ambulance, but Gaynor had already taken Butler off.
Another Stabbing.
Nancy Brown, 32 West 155th street. Is also in the hospital in a critical condition with stab wounds in the left breast, neck and back.
According to her story, Robert Matthews, 32, 32 West 155th street, came to her apartment in an toxicated condition and for no reason suddenly attacked her with a large knife. Matthews has been held in $3,000 bail for a hearing in the Heights Court on Feb. 13.

Students Had Staged Peaceful Demonstration Against Pres. McKenzie and Were in Bed When He Called Police.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 9.—The press dispatches sent out from here last Thursday charging the students of Fisk University with riotous conduct, are entirely erroneous. The facts are that the young men of the institution staged a demonstration against President McKenzie's administration and tyranny at 11 o'clock Wednesday night. The demonstration was over and all students were in bed and apparently asleep when President McKenzie sent in a riot call, investigation discloses.
The whole situation seemed to have been a prearranged affair, for in a very few minutes 80 policemen with riot guns and pistols drawn invaded the camps, searched the halls of both young men and women, broke into trunks, roughly handled the girls, forced students from beds, cursed, maltreated and abused both men and women and ushered them in groups at the points of pistols and with drawn night sticks to President McKenzie's office at which time he issued the ultimatum—"Go to jail; leave Pink or subscribe to my rating."
At no time did students exhibit violence, even after they were subjected to gross insult and abuse on the part of the abusive policemen. Several of the young men are suffering from severe scald wounds inflicted by the night sticks in the hands of the officers, even while standing in the presence of President McKenzie, while many of the girls are in hospitals suffering from nervous shock, it is said.
No white teachers have been threatened and no race issues have been brought up.

Strange Brew to Purify Soul Nearly Kills Family of Eight
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 9.—Dr. E.H. Boaz, of Memphis, formerly a convict in the Texas State Penitentiary, now at liberty on a conditional pardon granted by Governor Bai M. Neff, added to the startling revelations of cruelties to convicts. In testimony today before the legislative investigating commission, Dr. Boaz notified that he and two white men suffer injuries at the hands of prison guards sufficient to cause death, and one Negro killed with an iron single-tree in the prison yard. Boaz told the committee a hospital steward tried to make him give "an old stove-up Negro convict" a concoction of bichloride of mercury, and that when he refused the steward gave the dose to the aged Negro, with the result the man died two days later.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 9.—A "suicide note," written in red ink, was found by police who Wednesday investigated the attempt at suicide of Mrs. Jessie Wilson, 25 years old, in a room at the Summit hotel, Seventh and M streets, northwest. "I have failed in love affair," the note said.
Mrs. Wilson swallowed a large quantity of carbolic acid and is in a critical condition in Freedmen's hospital. In the note she requested that her "remains" be sent to her mother in Kansas City, Mo.

Fumes from a strange brew in an iron pot, with which Mrs. Belle Hennichill of Corona, L. I., hoped to purify her family for the supposed ending of the world, came near ending the world for herself, her husband and six children when the contents boiled over on the stove. The effect of the fumes was to stupify them. Neighbors who heard greens proceeding from the home broke in, to find all eight unconscious. Dr. S. M. Kloia of St. John's Hospital soon arrived on the scene and was at a loss to find out the cause, even trying a stomach pump in the belief that they may have taken poison. Finally Mrs. Hennichill was arrested and the enlightened
Officials of the Urban League, 202 West 136th street are stirred over the injustice done to Martin McFarlan, student at New York University, and caretaker of the League office, who was found guilty of disorderly conduct by Isstrate McQuade, finger-printed, detained three days in jail and fined $10 or ten days for alleged disorderly conduct. Monday a week ago McFarlan was cleaning the snow from the sidewalk when a taxicab drove up behind him and in tossing the snow some of it struck the hood of the cab. The driver aborted to McFarlan.
The driver shouted to McFarlan, who immediately apologized, but this evidently was not enough for the driver, who began abusing McFarlan. The latter told him to drive on, then the occupant of the cab, Dr. Chas, S. B. Casazza, stepped out and joined in the argument, shouting:
"You're looking for trouble, are you. I'll give you all the trouble you want."
According to McFarlan, Casazza then grabbed him and forced him into the cab, telling him that he was going to take him to the police station. But, instead of going down Seventh avenue, the cab continued east. McFarlan then demanded of Casazza whether he was a policeman, and if so, to show him his badge. "I was willing to go to the station," McFarlan said, "but when the taxi started east I knew he wasn't going there. I thought he was taking me some-

Mrs. Hennlichill was known as a scourge and purifier. Dr. Klein said that she was suffering from religious mania. When the neighbor burst into the place most of the contents of the pot had been boiled out. All the windows had been carefully closed. The doctors have agreed that the contents of the pot, which had a peculiar penetrating odor, was responsible. Chemists are endowing to find out the composition of this latest kind of knockout gas.

In court Casazza said that was on his way to Harlem Hospital, where he is employed.
McFarian returned to his wif and presently Casazza retu with Policeman O'Hara. In of letting the policeman be resting, Casazza grabbed McFarian again, according to witness, and began abusing him, which he kept up all the way to the police station, calling him "d—d nigger" and other names even in front of the police lieutenant, according to McFarian.
Determined to get vengeance because a "nigger" dared talk back to him, Casazza would not wait for the police van, but hired a cab and rushed McFarian to the Heights Court.
According to McFarian, Casazza continued his abuse all the way to the court, saying among other things: "Just to think, that's what I get. I am over at that hospital, operating on you d—d nigger and treat you white." Whereupon McFarian said that he reminded Casazza that he was being paid by the city for it, and Casazza retu, "You yellow nigger, I suppose you are one of those West Indians."
The Urban League is determined to push the case to the Smith James Hubert, secretary of the Harlem branch, said:
"There's too much of this sort of thing going on in Harlem and it must be stopped. Congress must learn that he is in New York City and not in Georgia. We intend to have the case reopened and push it to the Smith. If anyone ought to be arrested, it should be Cannon, for he had no right to take the case in the cab and drive him to Lennox avenue."

Government Issues Warning.
The report that follows of Garvey are threatening vengeance on persons who took part in his prosecution, have caused United States Assistant District Attorney Matteukt to issue a warning that those who threaten or attempt to intimidate anyone will be severely punished.
Remembering the fate of Mr. Eason in New Orleans, the authorities have decided to take no chance and have thrown the mande of their protection around those persons who are in any way threatened.
That is proved by what happened to a Garveyville named Lincoln Charles, who was too hardy enough to threaten a witness, Dr. Bourge during the trial in 1921.
Among the senior and more intelligent Garveyes a feeling prevails that the best thing to be done is to leave the computer of the movement properly alone and bound every effort to the task of holding the organization together and programme of Garvey. The next step in this critical moment nothing should be done to give the government an excuse for directing attention on to the bank and file of the organization.

the recital of her domestic affair with the pastor-husband by Mrs. Jones that, on several occasions, many of the audience rose to their feet. She further declared that, since returning from New York recently, she had been denied a home and that repeated requests for money on which to she had been denied her.
She then climaxed her dramatic portrayal of domestic turmoil with Dr. Jones by a plan for money and a suspension of judgment until the facts all of them, have been heard; and to remember in their Christian spirit that she was "some mother's child."
Dr. W. Augustus Jones, the handsome, eloquent and scholarly pastor of Central Baptist Church, sat throughout his wife's recital of their domestic relations with a noncommittal expression on his countenance. During the early stages of the meeting, when it appeared that a motion for the formation of a council to hear charges brought against him was about to be heard, Jones jumped to his feet and demanded that he he given a trial. The motion was reconsidered and finally passed.
A question was raised by some member as to the advisability of having the public declared vacant temporarily that is, until the questions affecting the present pastor's domestic relations were settled, was not considered by the gathering. It is, therefore, assumed that Rev. Jones will continue to guide the affairs of the church and congregation.

Hampton Defeats Virginia Normal and Industrial Inst. by Large Score
Hamptonians Secure Firmer Hold on Lead in Race for Colored College Basketball Championship Among the Leading Schools of the Race
By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR.
HAMPTON, Va. Feb. 1—Led by McNichols in an attack that slowly gathered power and accuracy. Hampton institute defeated the last but unexpected Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute basketball five by the one-sided score of 65 to 2. By virtue of this victory Hampton now has become the strongest contender for championship honor) in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Her number of consecutive triumphs at present is six. With two exceptions every team on the Hampton schedule is numbered among those which have taken the smaller end of the score. These two exceptions are A. and T. of Greenboro, N. C. and Morehouse College of Atlanta, Ga.
Hampton's New Combination.
Coach C. H. Williams used a new combination, or, better, three combinations, in the Fearsburg-Hampton game. The changes were due to the absence of Hargrove, who was unable to play to night. Mark Thorne held down the pivot position, and while playing a good game throughout, was unable to find the shooting range with the regularity and precision which marks the regular center's play. His work, however, was promising. With the acquiring of the ability to score more regularly, Thorne will develop into a dangerous pivot man.

on a field goal by Baker that brought forth echoling cheers. Petersburg took the lead a few minutes after the first whistle. Early indications pointed to a good game, studded here and there with dazzling shots and plays, for not half a minute had slapped before McNichols took a pass, pinned in midfloor, and looped a shot that swished through the basket without touching any part except the net. Eggs sank a free throw to gain a one-point lead for the vikings. Again, however, McNichols came through with a spectacular shot--made this time while in the air. The score now stood 4 to 3 in Hampton's favor. That's advantage was increased, sometimes slowly, but always it was a score here and a score there that added to the total and prevented Hampton from falling below the mark set in other games; that is, in connection with the final score.
Lambright added 2 points on two attempts from the foul line. Many odd chances were being missed by both teams. Hampton kept the ball in her possession most of the time, but try after try for the basket went wilds, until Thorne tallied from the floor for 2 points and his only field goal of the night.
The few minutes of the first half had now passed. Epps was successful in an attempt from the foul line; McNichols sank two free throws. The score stood 10 to 4 in Hampton's favor. Other points were scored by Epps for Petersburg and by Thatcher and Captain Jones for Hampton. The score stood 10 to 8 in half time, the smallest number of points the Hampton five has made in a first half this season.

big battle has refused to issue statement, which is nothing usual for the Kid, for he is more accrued with going on the court playing the game than making edictions. It will do our people to make the trip to Renais Casino this Sunday night, as will be the first time that the romance of our boys seems to be ally threatened. So far they have not lost a game the home court all this season and so far as we can see, Borgeau's players, with their stars of many years' experience, loom as a combination to give Slocum and his men the battle of their wars.
Last Friday night the Renaults players made their first appearance of the season at Titan Auctioneer, in Orange, N. J., where they met and defeated the crack north Amboy Five. The mosquitoes came from all over and packed Dr. their basketball headquarters.
This Friday night the Renaults team had quite a contest handed to them by the players of the Xavier Five. All of these white players had been shown all courtesies when they came here to meet our players, they tried to rough-house Capone Blooc and his men and Manager Duncan called them off the Brooklyn court after nine minutes and played. The colored players waived their claims on their characters and told the white boys they could keep it as a present. That's how bad things were.
At the house court last Saturday night, before one of the largest crowds so far seen at the Casino, the Residents five defeated the boys of the Notre Nous Club by a score of 14-33. As we predicted, the publicity being given the activities of the colored players only kids of the popularity and the will be tended to the

Posey's Loendi Team Beaten by Phila. Panthers
Pittsburgh Players Dropped Two Games While in the Quaker City and "Cum" Is Singing the Blues All is not so well with "Cum" Posey and his former deshag Loandi team of Pittsburgh, Pa. They arrived in Philadelphia last week primed for a "killing," and met with a big setback when the crack Panthers took them into camp by a score of 36-23. The following night the Wesley Hegemans bung it heavy upon the bold Pittsburghians by a score of 38-23. Their arrival in the Quaker City was heralded by Rollo Wilson as the event of the basketball season, as Rollo, a former Pittsburgh himself, could see nothing but the Posey men, and allowed it was all over but the shouting.
The City of Sleep, having been aroused for at least one night, got behind the Panthers solidly and gave them the moral support which had a great deal to do with their victory over the great basketball star and his combination from the City of Smoke. Posey appeared to be a very chastened player, as he has always looked upon victory as the only thing in life, being one of the worst losers basketball has ever known.

in return to the manner in which goals were being scored inspired the Seasiders to rally. Besides this, Langton, who had been replaced by Thatcher, was back in the fray, and aided by the fine guarding of Jones, held the visiting five scores in the matter of field goals. Virginia Normal's 4 points during the last stanza came on single successes from the foul line by Eppe. Roberts, Smith and Lewis. Hampton's 22 points in the final period came as the result of shots by McNichols, Lambright, Jones and Langton.
McNichols with 13 points, took scoring honors. Jones, with 8, and Lambright, with 7, came next. Jones was especially good, guarding well and shooting often. Lambright. McNichols and, in fact, the whole first line-up of Hampton, played well. Brown and Thatcher were Hampton's only substitutes to score. Smith, in guard, was especially good for the visitors, while Baker, Lawia, Epps and Chambers all played hard. Line-Up.

Since Howard is definitely committed to the policy of confining all activities to the regular football season, a request for a post-season games with Morehouse College, Atlanta, for December 5th, had to be rejected. It is interesting to note that Howard's failure to accept the invitation from Morehouse, the play, post-season game, in 1923 has occasioned an invitation to accept either of two dates on their schedule during the season of 1924, the game to be played in Atlanta or Washington as Howard may elect. The following games have been definitely contracted for:
Howard Schadus, Season 1928.
October 3rd—Morgan College at
Washington.
October 10th—Livigatone Col-
lege at Washington.
October 17th—Johnson C. S. Smith
University at Washington.
October 24th—West Virginia

Announcement of Colored Men Starting Big Open Air Boxing Club Here
Focuses Eyes of the Athletic World on Portland, Oregon, Where
Resides Race's Biggest Boxing Prometer.
Collegiate Institute—away.
October 21st—Cooper Union (of
New York City) at Washington.
November 7th—Witherforce Uni-
versity at Washington.
November 25th—Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Day. Lincoln University—away.
In this schedule Morgan College has been substituted for A. & T. College, of Greensboro, N. C., which joined the C. I. A. At A this year. Johnson C. Smith University takes the place of St. Paul Normal and Industrial School; Livingstone College replaces Virginia Theological Seminary and College; Wilberforce University replaces Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute; and Atlanta University replaces Hampton Institute.
Continuity to expectations, the "boycot" of the C. I. J. A. proved ineffective. Moreover the above schedule does not call for a greater financial outlay than the schedule of 1923, when a number of the same teams listed in the present schedule appeared in Washington. Cooper Urban, New York City, has taken a long step in advancing the principle of democracy among educational institutions in asking for a date on the Howard school. The Howard program has been worked out by Conch Wikison in cooperation with the Howard Board of
Athletic Control and serve to indicate that the policy of the new coaching system will be to play outstanding institutions of the country.

Big Five Will Oppose Runners-Up in Metropolitan "Y" League Here on February 14th
Plans are under way at the West 135th Street Branch, Y. W. C. A., to bring, on Saturday evening, Feb. 28, the strong South West Scholars of the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. to play against the Y. M. D. one of the best amateur aggregations in this part of the country. On Saturday evening, Feb. 14, the Big Five will oppose the runners-up in the Metropolitan Y. M. C. A. League, namely, the East Side Branch. This game will be played on the home floor. The Junior and Midget League teams will travel to the West Side Branch, where they meet one of the real fast teams in the Boys' Inter-Branch League. The names of teams opposing the Cubs and Y. M. D. could not be secured at the time of going to press, but two worthy opponents have been assured the public who attend the Saturday evening games on the "Y" floor.
'Georgia Tornado' Topping Bill With Jackie Clarke
Bob Lawson to Be Seen for First Time at Same Club on Saturday Night
Like a refreshing breeze from his "Dear Old Southland" (made dear no doubt by the price many innocent colored men and women have paid for being born there), the one and only Tiger Flowers will waft himself into the ring at the Commonwealth Sport Club this Saturday night to meet Jackie Clarke and wipe out a score registered against him recently.
Jackie Clarke is the same fighter who won from Jack Delaney, the boy who K.O'd, the Tiger at Madison Square Garden not so very long ago, and the Tiger feels if he puts over a decisive win against Clark it will be natural that the fans figure Delaney's victory nothing but a fluke. Truth to tell, there are thousands of colored people right here in Harlem who believe the Canadian's victory over Flowers but a fluke, anyhow, and the Tiger is one man who hasn't lost any following because of being handed a stiff one where it would do the most damage.
He has been clearing his way through his opponents in a manner that will again bring them out in droves to the Commonwealth Club. The card is strengthened by the first appearance of Bob Lawson, colored heavyweight fighter, who will trade punches with Frank Yarchau in one of the star tens. Clarke, who has been among the leading challengers for Harry Greb's title for several years, has whipped many of our star performers. He holds a knockout and a victory over the Syracuse caveman, Young Fisher. He has also taken the measure of such cracks as Harry Krohn, Tommy Robson and Jack Duffy. In no-decision fights boxed has he all, including Champions Harry Greb and Mike McTigue, Jeff Smith, Tommy Loughran, Joe Lohman and Jack Delaney. This shows that Flowers will have his work cut out when he meets the Allentown idol.
Lawson is a light-skinned colored hunk, born in Troy, Ala., who takes to the fighting rocket like a duck to water. After knocking out six highly heralded knuckle dusters in one evening of campfire construction gang entertainment, those on the big dam project woke up to the fact that their co-wonder was a real fighter. Thereafter, the Alabama Bear carried the backing of thousands of dollars of hard-earned money whenever he fought
Since adopting the professional end of the sport, Lawson has gone up and down the lina, removing many obstacles in the ranks of the big boys. Kid Norfolk, who the experts not long ago appointed as trial horse for Tom Gibbons before the latter could obtain official permission to a Dempsey match, in down on Lawson's record, Lawson won a two-round slugging session from "The Keed." It seems that Norfolk was enticed to Buffalo to fight a "palahk" (ring pardon for soft one) named Lawson. Instead, Lawson turned out as a variable fighting foal of a tarter who promptly knocked Misha Norfolk to the canvas for a long count. The bell saved him and, rather than face the sigms of being harvard by a comparative unknown, a series of dittance lops tempered the match in the ground court.
Large and Enthusiastic Gathering Expected at Monster Brooklyn Meet
Nearly 400 Entries Filed for Big Event of Brooklyn Lodge of Elks, With Theodore Roosevelt Trophy Being Goal of Prospective Hot Competition
Nearly four hundred entries have been received for the coming meet of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, I. B. P. O. Elks of the W., to be held next Thursday night at the 13th Regiment Armory, Jefferson and Summer avenues, Brooklyn. Billy Murray, chairman of the athletic department of the lodge, and the one whose eternal hustling has brought the meet up to its indicated success, is predicting the greatest athletic meet Brooklyn Lodge No. 32 has ever held.
The handsome silver cups to be awarded as prizes in the various events, under A. A. U. jurisdiction, are now on display at Abraham & Straus's, while the beautiful and costly Roosevelt trophy and other trophies are on display at Namm's. These prizes, many of them the gifts of some of Brooklyn's best known political and civic leaders, are said to be the most valuable to be awarded at an athletic meet in many days.
In the two-mile handicap run, Andy Craw is entered and is expected to show his heels to a fine pack of harriers. The one-mile walk in which Willie Plant is entered is sure to be a most interesting race. Plant is out to break another record that night. In that event, he will be opposed by the crack Canadian champion walker, Phil Granville. Those two cracks will concede liberal handicaps to the other entrants, but the race will narrow down to them and it should be a battle royal.
out that evening a record crowd. New Yorkers should take Prumam avenue trolley car to Sumner avenue, after reaching Brooklyn. Two bands, the 13th Regiment and the Brooklyn Lodge Band, will play the dance music, beginning promptly at 9:30 p. m. The Roosebud cup will be awarded by J. Finley Wilson, the grand exalted ruler, who will be present with his entire stuff. Every indication points to a big night for staid old Brooklyn, Counsellor Thomas Higgins, chairman of the arrangement committee, says that the lodge is prepared to comfortably handle the huge crowd expected.

ing Park to Witness the
Contest.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 9.—
According to official report made
by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Business
Manager of the Board of Athletic
Control of Howard University.
«hich Board had charge of the
football classic played at Washing.
ton on Thankagtving Day, 1924, the
gross receipts amounted to #18.
31.75. This sum represents the
largest amount ever Defore re
ceived for a single athletic event
in the history of Negro colleges.
The receipts trom the classic the
year before (1933) when ihe game
was played at Philadelphia amouat-
ed to $16,578.98.
‘The recetpts of the classic bere
at Washingtoa in 1922 when
Howard managed the game
amounted to $12,385.39. The total
received last November represents
an Increase of $6.036.26 over the
last t!me Howard managed tne
clasalc, and 91,762.77 over the re-
ceipts of 1923.
Total disbursements, including
rent of the American League Park
at Washington, amounted to $8,
343.95, leaving net receipts of $11.-
997.80, of which Howard as the host
receives sixty per cent, or §7.198.68,
and Lincoln forty per cent. or $4,-
799.12. The record set in 1926 by
Howard. Lincoln will undertake
to break at Philadelphia on
Thanksgiving Day, 1925, but this
figure at present represents. the
high water mark of financial re
turax from a collegiate event
among inatitutions specializing in
the training of colored students,
‘The particularly pleasing feature
in connection with the staging of
the classic thix last year was the
unusual ease with which tne great
crowds were handled, both in con-
nection with getting in and out of
the park and the securing of the
upecially reserved seats. Com:
mandation from various sources,
including the fecalty manager of
athletica of Lincols University,
alume! and students of Lincoln,
snd alumol and students of
Howard, have come in coanection
with this especially pleasing fea.
tare of the classic. Next year the

Route With United States Naval Band of the Virgin Islands of U. S. A.
Wherein Bandmaster Alton A. Adams Gives His Impressions of the Trip of This Famous Outfit Which Visited This Country Last Summer and Made Many Friends and a Lasting Impression Among Those Appreciating His Work.
Special Note—Thousands of readers of The Amsterdam News will recall with pleasure the trip of the Naval Band of the Virgin Islands of the U. S. A. to this country last summer and in reproducing this series of articles written by the brilliant young colored bandmaster we feel that the majority of our readers will be glad to learn of the impressions made on Brilliant Negre leader by his contact with the people of this country—THE EDITOR.
By ALTON A. ADAMS. Bandmaster. U. S. N.
In willingly acceding to the request of the Amsterdam News to give to its readers a sketch of the musical activities of the Navy Band of the Virgin Islands during its recent visit to the United States, I do so, believing that there are many who will appreciate the difficulty of such an undertaking on my part and fully sympathize with any effort I make in this direction.
My position with this band has been and is in that of organizer, teacher, trainer and leader. It is expected that such a position to the average mind would place whatever I have to say about the impressions and activities of the band on route in two categories: that of manic concoct on my part, or worse still, mock modesty—a form of that mania which is to me not only unpardonable and cowardly, but detestable as well. I have always entertained very high appreciation for the frank expression of men and women (or worth and professional standing, naturally) as to what they think of themselves and their contribution to the general fund of good—men and women who express themselves sincerely and unselfishly, unmindful of the petty criticisms of petty minds. There is always value in the display of the means by which such personalities work and individ- ulate themselves.
With the bandmaster who fills the unavailible position of teacher trainers, the effect is somewhat
The product of years

fortunately leaves its marks deeply imprinted on his inner consciousness, and though he may be branded with the meaningless term "authority," he nevertheless suffers the loss of much of that wholesome enjoyment of the emotional rapture, charm and inspiration which fail to the lot of the average bearer, and also often give to his criticism an unintentional flavor of unfairness. In consequence of such a state of the analytical mind I have decided to use mainly the criticisms of the leading medical authorities of the cities visited.
The foregoing remarks I hope will not be construed in the sense that I consider myself in any way an authority, but rather that I shall be able to write in keeping with the request of the editor of his paper in a much safer way and in a manner that may really treat many of his readers. When to Advertise. If the question as to When to advertise is asked of any success American business man, the lawyer would undoubtedly be, All in Time. And this must be so, so advertising is for the specific purpose of keeping before the minds of prospective buyers the trability of whatever is to be whether coal, oil, sugar, ideas, real estate, or the natural and unsurpassed beauties of a West Indian tropics as a desirable winter resort for tourists and men and women of liberal means and leisure.
Lieutenant-Commander Ellis S. Stine, U. S. N. who is in direct charge of the band, undoubtedly gramped the key to the situation, when in his efforts to effect something good for the Virgin Islands, thought a tour of our band one of the best means in helping to keep the eyes and attention of the american people on them. This recommendation of the tour of the band by Lieutenant-Commander Closse was enthusiastically approved by Governor Philip Williams, who is undoubtedly very popular among all classes of the inhabitants of the three islands, and authorised by the Navy Department.
It is well for us to realize at the outset that prior to these latent advertisements, like the Rochester Exhibition, the Virgin Islands were in a sense unknown in the United States, except to a comparatively very limited few, who happened to either visit the islands or to have some insignificant commercial transaction with them. Those who managed in some way or manner to hear something of them hold, and many still hold to the belief that they are some what primitive in all modern essentials.

reason the Virgin Islands Navy Band was sent to tour the larger Eastern States of the continent.
Prior to the band's arrival at Hampton Roads, Va., on July 1, I had been making arrangements in New York for its appearances there, which were in a measure frustrated on account of a congressional law forbidding the competition of service bands and orchestras with like civilian organizations. In this connection much credit and thanks are nevertheless due to the efforts of our friend and sponsor, Captain William Russell White. U. S. N. retired, for his interest and activity in getting the band placed under the Keith's Circuit, the financial results of which were to go to the hospitals of the Virgin Islands. I do not care to cover the ground in relating the difficulties met with in trying to get a good schedule which was to make the tour a successful one as regards exploiting the Virgin islands.
The efforts of Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, sporting and dramatic editor of the New York Amsterdam News, also deserve much thanks. His contribution to whatever success we might have achieved, particularly in New York and Philadelphia, was invaluable.
The band arrived on July 1 at Hampton Roads, Va., by the U. S. Henderson, starting its activities there. The fifteen days spent at this training station were very helpful in developing and improving the ensemble of the combined bands. The men responded nicely to the long hours of practice, with its monotonous and tiresome repetition (nevertheless necessary for attaining any good concerted effect) covering an average of six hours daily, not including regular concerts, which were, however, not many. The commanding officer, other officers and the enlisted man accorded us a hearty welcome and manifested much interest in our work. Our old friend, Lieutenant F. L. Aplegate, U. S. N., was in charge of the receiving barracks where we were stationed and he did much to make us feel comfortable.
Norfolk is a very pretty place; its suburb roads, its pretty red brick houses and cottages give to the place the appearance of a happy settlement.

Minstrels Off to Nice Start at the Lafayette, With Bubber Mack Leading
Big Show Now Being Rehearsed to Entertain at the Same House After Close of Present Offering Elaborate Scenery and Well Known Artists Part of Production From Which Much Will Be Expected.
As an evening's entertainment we rise to give it to the minstrel show at the Lafayette Theatre, which opened on Monday night and which from present indications should do a good business while at this house. As in the past, a stardent comedian can do much to help put over a production of this kind, and "Bubber" Mack is doing this end nicely.
Of course, there are many other people and parts contributing to the success of the presentation, especially a mighty good quartette. There are also specialties, which seem to find instant favor. Reverting to the much-used ghost scenes are also bound to draw the major part of the laughs in any kind of show by our people, and this is worked up to a nice degree, that gives Mack an opportunity to get in some of his best work.
Plans are on foot by the management of the Lafayette to bring here one of the biggest and most offerings of recent times, and to that end this same snow is being released every day. J. Rosandam Johnson will be responsible for the musical end of the show, and this is a guarantee that something out of the ordinary is being prepared. Frank Monconery will present the dance numbers, and this also is a guarantee of some of the best work along this order that has come to the Lafayette in some time. Billy Higgins, Pete and Brown. Abbie Mitchell and Florence McClain are some of the well-known performers who will appear in the cast, and we are assured that some of the most elaborate acency that ever graced one of our shows will be seen in what will be known as "Harlem Bounders."
An eleven-piece orchestra under the direction of Mr. Johnson will furnish the music, and if J. Rosamond did nothing else than revive some of those splendid numbers for which he was responsible in day gone by, we believe we would be perfectly satisfied with this end of the show. We have so much faith in the work of the brother of the well-known James Weldon Johnson we make bold to ask him to give us a scene that would give him an opportunity to revive "Roll Dem Cotton Bales" and he'll find us very appreciative.

Messrs. Gresham and Scott to Run Putnam-Supreme Theatre, Located on Fifton Street
Word came to us on holiday night of this week that the Putnam-Supreme Theatre, located at the corner of Grand and Fulton streets, will again throw open its doors to the public, the time for this event being on Monday night. February 23rd. At the present time the managers are trying to secure one of the biggest shows to entertain Brooklynites.
We understand that David Lark, who ran the place with Jones Grosham, is no longer connected with the house, and from now on the new management will consist of Brosham and Scott. The latter is a well-known undertaker, and for years the name of Howard Scott has been familiar to Brooklynites. Mr. Grosham, who has had some
experience with the house, assures us that the rooping will mark a new era in the life of this theatre, which has had many ups and downs during the time colored men have been trying to put it over as a paying proposition. An effort will be made within the next few weeks to secure a manager who has had some experience in the theatrical world, and from present indications we have every reason to believe that the place should take on a new lease of life, and, if properly managed, meet with the success which many feel should be the reward of an up-to-date theatre catering to colored people in the Borough of Brooklyn.

people, which shows the great man in his most kindly mood. A brilliant and accomplished young woman, whom the President greatly admired, was a guest at the White House. She was not beautiful, but her distinguishe bearing, police, womanly virtues and graces, coupled with a singing voice of unusual quality and charm made her an outstanding figure even in the brilliant life of official Washington. The average man tags around after beauty and so the young lady was not so popular with the uniforms and high brows at the Capitol as the doll faced midsens. The President saw this and determined to lend a hand, so one night at a reception when the young songbird was to perform he made sure that a certain young officer would be present.

Create Cas, Sourness and Pain
How to Treat.
Medical authorities state that nearly nineteenth of the cases of stomach troubles, indigestion, sourness, burning gas, bloating, nausea, etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and no one believe to a lack of digestive pulses. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sources causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach suffice.ct knows so well.
Artificial digestants are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any druggist a few ounces of Bisurated Magnesium and take a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no soreness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesium (in powder or tablet form—never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion.

Y.W.C.A. Notes
Every night is busy in the 'Y' but Thursday night, February 25 was hectic! Club and classrooms were filled to capacity and the Physical Department was fairly fulling. The fact is, every other person seemed to be looking at Miss Nelson and the Gym. They were all bound for the first lesson in what promises to be one of the most popular courses ever offered by the 'Y' the "Recreation Leaders" Course." This course is especially designed for volunteer church and social workers, and it includes Pageantry as well as other forms of organized play. Basketball has lost none of its popularity and our girls played the Dearborn Girls on Friday, February 6.
To come back, however, to the Thursday night rush, the excitement in the large clubroom was boosted by the "Double Feature" in the Beauty Arts Club. From eight to nine Mrs. Maud G. Hall, Executive of the Newspaper Service Department of the Pictorial Review, spoke to the grus on "charm in Business". Mrs. Hall's talk was not practical and could not tail to be helpful to a large group of self-supporting glits. There was considerable discussion in the second part of the "Double Feature" when Miss Grace Currie, National Y. W. C. A. Industrial Secretary, spoke on "Satire actions and Disaetafactions of Mrs. John."
The classrooms on the second floor are always busy and full, but attracting special attention on Saturday, was the class in Interior Designing. The class offers course facilities, for Mr. A. Elvidge, the instructor, gives reasonable assurance of employment to those who show special aptitude for the work.
All grade school Girl Reserves in the New York City Associations turned on Saturday afternoon, February 7. In their annual Year Coronary Day at Central Branch, 610 Lexington avenue, Six Grade School Girl Reserve clubs from this Branch were represented.
Augustus G. Dill, Business Manager of the Crisis Magazine, received "The Fire in the Flint," by Walter F. White, at our regular Sunday afternoon service on February 1. The audience responded to Mr. Dill's splendid talk with interest and enthusiasm.

What Do Growing Children Need?
What Do Growing Children Need?
Every child has the right to be well born, well nourished and well cared for.
Child welfare experts agree that the essentials for the child's best growth and development are a well-kept home, wholesome food and adequate clothing, training in good personal habilies for future health, play with the right sort of playmates, the opportunity for education, and the kind of work which will best prepare the child for successful living.
The child's home should be clean and attractive. These should be plenty of fresh air and sunlight. Summer and Winter Each child should have, if possible, a separate bed. Good sanitary arrangements and a proper abundant water supply are essential.
The child's food should be clean
simple, appetizing, and well cooked
with at least a pint of milk,
some form of fat (preferably butter,
cereal and bread, vegetables
both starry and green, fruit and
eggs, meat or fish, included in the
diet). Regular hours for
meals with dinner at noon for
children under 7 years of age are
best for growing boys and girls.
Children need lean, whole-gra-
ments and enough of them to afford
a change of underwear and night
clothes at least once a week.
Wear underwear and stockings, a
boat coat, cap and mittens are
necessary for cold weather. Foot
should be well protected against
calf or snow.
Children need to be taught the essentials of personal hygiene. A boy, bath the washing of hands and face before each meal and at bedtime, the brushing of teeth at least twice a day are the routine of personal cleanliness. Health also demands a regular bed hour with ten hours of sleep at night with open windows. Play and companionship are as necessary for a happy childhood to shelter and food. Children need safe room places for our door and indoor play, with constructive and suitable playthings and toys. Who parents will make friends with the friends of their children, helping them to choose the right seat of playmates. Every child should have school

Commence Exercises at P. S. 119
Life these days has been just one snow storm after another, but that did not freeze the ardor and zest thrown into the commencement exercises at P. S. 119 a few days ago.
Mrs. Harriet Tupper, principal, with her usual charm conducted the well-balanced program in such a way as to establish high aims for the prospective graduates next term.
The course of study was interpreted anew in the light of the recent Progressive Survey. After the seniors and graduates marched in, a Chapter from Proverbs was read by Mrs. Tupper.
Truth and Self-Knowledge as typified by the reading of the new poem by Edgar Guest, "Dealing With Me," were beautifully shown. A very clever device known as the "Simple Family" and the careless things they did brought out clearly the importance of being careful in order to avoid accidents. In the Art of Living, the audience was treated to beauty and self expression. The rest of this part of the program was made up of aesthetic dancing, a violin oblige to "At Dawning," played by Gertrude Martin, a three part song, "The Torpedo and the White," a costume dance "Holland Babies" and

Part two was the animated exhibition of work, that is, work worn and carried in a parade. The primary wee workers carried their dolls, the sight conservation class showed their haskets. Industrial opportunity, hand artistry and home-making ideas all all present. The cafeteria was represented by demonstrations of preparations of suitable luncheons for children. The military creations were only outdone by the dainty dresses worn by the graduates each dress having been made in school. The aim of this part of the program was to show that by learning more, you will earn more, know more and grow more.
The speakers were: Wm. Pickens, Mr. Gulley, Principal of P. S. 89, Mrs. Alexander, of the local school board, Mrs. Bessyo Barrilen, Secretary of the local school board, and Mr. Fred, R.

All Admire Her Lovely Hair
Few people who meet this beautiful girl know how she obtained the gloriously lovely hair that now makes her admired by all who see her.
She says it was Exelento Quinie Pomade that rid her scalp of all dandruff and made her hair grow long, silky soft, and luxurious. It made her hair fairly glow with life and gave it a pretty, glossy sheen.
She was so delighted with Exelento Quinine Pomade, she tried Exelento Skin Beautifier for sallow complexions and skin bleemishes. She had used this remarkable cream but a short time when her friends began complimenting her on her clear skin and improved appearance. Anyone who wants lovely hair and a beautiful complexion should immediately purchase Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier. They can be obtained at 25¢ from nearly all drug stores, or will be sent postpaid upon receipt of price by the

The Spectacular Career of Garvey
JHE story of Marcus Garvey reads like the tale of Alad-
din’s ‘Lamp or the Arabian Nights Entertainments. It
exemplifies the motto “Truth is stronger than fiction.”
Marcus Garvey, a short and stocky Jamaican, came to Amer-
ica, poor and unknown, a little over eight years ago, Seven
years ago he started a movement with thirteen members in
'a little room in New York City. Within four years he built
np a world-wide organization with nearly a thousand di-
ciiiorie and cenris Wall a milhoh setibers, launched a sbeitt-
ship line and staged two thirty-one day conventions, char-
acterized by spectacular parades and pageants and mam
moth mass meetings, drawing larger audiences, organizing
more Negroes, receiving more publicity in the press, and at-
fairing greater world fame than any one Negro living or
dead.
Then, within two years of his first convention he was!
arrested and indicted by the Federal Government and finsily
convicted and sentenced to serve five years in a Federal
Penitentiary for using the mails to defraud. He was con-'
fined in the Tombs for twelve weeks and finally released un
bail, pending his appeal to the Appellate Court for a new
trial. And then within a year he raised nearly $150,000
from the same people who sunk over $750,000 in his old
steamship line and bought and sent out another ship to the
West Indies, onty to have the Circuit Court of Appeals af-
firm the conviction and sentence of the lower court. This
is a career spectacular enough to equal any of the thrilling
movie plays.
To a disinterested observer the most startling fact about
the entire Marcus Garvey case is that the hue and cry
about Marcus Garvey wasting the people's money and
squandering the hard-earned savings of the poor workin
men and women did not and does not come from those whi
lost money by his various ventures and dreams of an Afri-
can Empire, but from those who did not yield to the elo-
quence of the dusky Jamaican and back his dreams with
their cash. This indicates that there was #mething more
to what is known as the Garvey Movement than buying
stock for personal gain and profit. If that had been the
dominating motive, Garvey’s followers would have deserted
him long ago. A careful study of Marcus Garvey will re-
veal the fact that he had been writing and speaking and
spreading propaganda long. before he. launched. the..ides. of
‘a steamship line.

Mrs. Agnes Trotter Wilson
Died February 14th, 1924
I cannot say, and I will not say,
That she is dead. Life is just awake!
With a obey smile and a wave of the hand
She has wandered into an unknown land.
A few not so dreaming lives, yet
It needs must be, since she knows there.
And you—oh you, who the mind returns
For the old-time step and the good return.
Think of her facing up, on deck.
In the way of those the way of bert.
Think of her still as the sunny I may.
She is not dead—she is just being.
—Jennie Williammb Riley.

IN MEMORIAM
MEMORIAM.
COLEMAN—In memory of my beloved son, Walter Washington, who entered into eternal rest Feb. 14, 1916.
When a devoted son breathes his last farewell,
That stroke means more than tongue can tell;
The world, then seems another place, without the Smile of that son's face. He sleeps. I leave him
In peace to rest, the parting was painful, but God knows best.
His loving mother, ROSA L. COLEMAN.
COVINOTON—In memory of Mary E. Covington, who died February 10, 1924.
One year has gone since you left me.
I miss you more and more.
Rest on and take thy rest.
I loved you, but Jesus loved you
more.
Loving husband, Chan. Cow-
town. 111 W. 128th St. N. Y. G.
I loved her, you. I loved her,
But Jesus loved her more.
And he has sweetly called her
To yonder shining show.
The golden gates were opened.
A gentle voice said "Come"
And with farewell spoken,
Mother calmly said, "I come."

Moore, pastor of the Marcy Avenue Baptist Church, Brooklyn, and a prominent member of the federated Council of Church, delivered the sermon. Every available standing space was occupied and Dr. Moore went away with a feeling that he had appeared before one of the most dignified services in which he had ever preached, and he left 2,000 people feeling that a white minister could deliver the same kind of multiple gamed sermon to them that he was himself to be conference.

He then believed that colored skin ought to have a Representative in Congress, but himself would never be permitted and they drove away the petty jealousies and scorn that surrounded him or not. Madison was then read a brief history of the Col. Col. Teenus, and President Hirten was read "The colored Nation" and "Fire."

Harlem 2nd S. D. A.
"Prophetic teaching is gospel preaching," declared Pastor Strachan Sunday night at the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church.
The pastor was discourancing upon the theme, "History and Divine Prophecy." The speaker took his text from 2 Pe. 1:19, where the apostle declares that Bible prophecy is a more reliable testimony concerning the Lord than the eye-witness and personal experience he had of the excellent glory in the mount of transfiguration.
After defining history, Pastor Strachan quoted John Clark Eldab by saying, "History is able to tell me nothing that blind to the future." "But," said the pastor, "prophecy is the hand that pulls back the curtain of the future and writes the destinies of men and nations to come.
"The prophetic Scriptures," said the pastor, "afford infallible evidence that the voice of the living God speaks in holy wilt. The whole range of human events is but his history and prophecy. Prophecy instructs, guides and confirms the faith; it warns and convicts, and turns to righteousness and true holiness. The central theme of all the prophetic Scriptures is Christ. The first gospel, sermon ever prescheduled in this world was a prophecy."
Rush Memorial Notes
As announced, Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the Ninth Episcopal District, and whose residence is in Washington, D. C., was the preacher all day at Rush Church. The Bishop's text is found in St. Mark 9:2.

Bishop Jones delivered the address, directing to the life of the founder of Livingstone, J. C. Price. $ 6 o'clock Bishop Jones preached on the superiority of the Gospel—Matthew 16:13. Assemblyman Billings and many other noted race men worshipped with us.
At the close of the evening service the Bishop made a very pleasing summary of Dr. Oliver's work here and elsewhere. "The entire connection," he said, "is satisfied with work being done at Rush."

who have so roundly cried him and his work during the past months. A searching inquiry by unblessed minds is apparently the only action which may bring the truth to light.
Dit, in our humble opinion, even a thought of riots and mob rule, to Negro individuals or groups, from the youngest age of understanding to old age and dementia, be speaks a trend of terrorism. If there is any one thing which should have burned deep down in the memories of American Negroes, it is the rioting assemblage or the call of the mob. It retires the recollections of our fathers and our grandfathers of years ago, conclude that when college students of Pick or any other institution which has been dedicated to the erasure of riotous ways, and in their stead the assimilation of safe, safe, Christian thought, turn back the pages of Negro progress long enough to invoke the spirit of insurrection, based upon the hue and cry platform of the mob. It is irredible time to open a season of prayer, asking for new guidance which we may apply to our youth.

of L.
President William Green, new chancellor of the American Federation of Labor, is quoted as saying that within his organization he will advocate "voluntarian" rather than force, and whole-hearted cooperation rather than coercion. In order that affiliated organizations of the A. F. of L. may enjoy the full benefits of the parent body. This is indeed an evolution which the Negro subordinate unions all over the country have been seeking. They want a chance for the Negro apprentice boy, to gain an assistant position on taxation. They want their arguments and even their semi-skilled and unskilled workmen, who belong to the A. F. of L., to go on the job full of the knowledge that the master body is behind them in goods as well as words.
Negro skilled workers have been too frequently barred from the job. Too often have certain trades been closed to them, and more than once has the Negro apprentice boy been estopped from acquiring a trade, which later in life would have been him and the A. F. of L. as well.
If the A. F. of L. means to stand by its creed, with a reinforcement of wholesome co-operation, this is an important step in continuing to keep an abiding faith in organization as advocated by the A. F. of L. As an example of progress, by one lone group, the Negro musical unions may be cited, and there is no certain reason why every other union unit, from the hod carriers to paperhangers, should not be developed with similar success.
Poor Little Cupid
Poor Little Cupid, has grown very careless of late, and some of the results of his thoughtlessness are swelling court blotters, throwing the mastle or gloom around the world, and otherwise disturbing the social strata, of numerous fortune-makers, to say nothing of sub-tracing from the family safe certain alimony because and counsel fees. And this is all because Poor Little Cupid has become so careless that first one Nordic and then another persists in crossing the street with a woman in a triangular self with an African blonde or brunette.
It was quite exciting when Kip Whitlander declared to love, honor and cherish a colored girl of greatest worth serene. Then, when the son of a late Cypressman from North Carolina took unto him the same inclinations, alcoholism, insanity and every other lik of distorted mental poles was invoked to prove that the North Carolina gallant knew not what he did. Of course, annulment suits and divorce actions have quickly followed in the wake of Poor Little. Cupid's darts, which not only punctured but fairly ransacked the racial barriers of

sweathearts; but order along this line we received a robber in the Mines and courts when a sturdy judge held that order difference was no ground for an assault of the marital bonds. And now there is nothing but tears for the Nordic storms, whose family influences would like to give Poor Little Curpil a 18-year jail sentence. Someone has said, "Love will find a way," and we know, of course, that this was partially true even amid the miscegenation laws of the Sunny South. But now that colored bridges are being awarded counsel fees, besides the right to receive alimony funds from the wealthy, our hearts are quaking with fear for our own brethren. Who knows but that those of our own misses who are a bit overbalanced by business inclinations rather than simon-pure love will be on the outlook for heavy bankrolls and luminous counsel fees. Well, it's high time we were getting something out of the game, anyway.
Music
"From the Land of Dreams," a composition by William G. Still was rendered Sunday evening in the Aeolian Concert Hall at the second concert given by the International Composer's Guild, Inc. At the conclusion of the composition the applause was so great that the conductor motioned to Mr. Still, who was in the balcony, to also. The young Negro composer was born in Woodville, Miss., in 1895. The program carried the following information of him:
"Mr. Still is well known for his brilliant orchestrations of many Negro revues, having orchestrated most of the numbers of "Shuffle Along." "Runnin" Wild" and "Dixie to Broadway," but none of his own compositions have been played publicly before tonight. He studied music at Oberlin Conservatory and New England conservatory in Boston and for the past two years has been a pupil of Edgar Vearle. OI "From the Land of Dreams" he writes: "In the first two movements I have sought to depict, or rather to suggest, the filimession of dreams which fade before they have taken definite form. The varying moods of these movements may be construed as suggestions of the same extent as dreams unfold to the samurai's vision. Some may contend that the last movement is too vigorous to be a part of the composition, but there are vivid dreams with clearly defined outlines. From these we often awake abruptly dwelling, as it were, on the borders of both the realm of fancy and of reality. The three movements are lento, allegretto, allegro moderato. The over scored for score OI, oboe, clarinet, bass bass, bells, triangle and three voices (high soprano, soprano and mezzo-soprano) used instrumentally."
Among the other works are "Three Fantastic Dances" for chamber orchestra; "From the Black Belt" for full orchestra, and "Songs for Voice and Plane," composed for Madame Mary Fiona. He is now writing a choral work for mixed voices a cappella on a poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar called "Death Song."
A musical and literary program will be given by the pupils of Mme. V. H. Scott at St. Paul Baptist Church, 332 West 35th street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues Rav. H. Arthur Booker, pastor, Tuesday evening, February 17.

Dr. Du Bots to Address Club Women at Brooklyn "Y" Club women of Brooklyn will unite in a Douglass Anniversary Celebration and Memorial to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert at a big meeting to be held at Ashland Place Y. W. C. A. next Sunday afternoon, Feb. 16th. A committee of fifty prominent women representing the various civic and church clubs is sponsoring this meeting under the leadership of Mrs. Addie Hunton. Scholar and publicist will deliver the address of the meeting. The offering will be for the benefit of the Douglass Memorial Echo in Washington, D.C.
The passing of Mrs. Daiyu Taylip, noted musician and choral leader, was a great loss to Ashland Place Y, W. C. A., where she was known and loved by hosts of "T" members. Mrs. Taylip had been in charge of the Association Glee Club ever since the pioneer days of Branch's beginning at Lexington avenue. Last year under her direction the club entered the New York Music Week Association Contest, and was awarded both the bronze and the silver of honor. In the preceding year the club first place in the Inter-Association Glee Club Contest and was awarded the beautiful picture of Beethoven which now hangs over the piano in the Library. But to the members of the Glee Club Mrs. Taylip was more than a leader. She was their beloved friend.

Nasarene Congregational
In observance of Lincoln Sunday, Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor
preached Sunday morning on "The Highway of Lincoln," stretching throughness, honesty, friendliness and spirituality as marks on the highway. He made application of these points to the needs of our people to-day. He urged our business men especially to initiate the honesty of Lincoln. Young people were urged to make thorough preparation for the work of life.
In the evening his theme was "In Step With God," and he urged upon his hearers to make the step of confession, with the assurance that God in Christ would take the step of forgiveness, and then would follow the step of both together of learning of Jesus' sacrifice, the three steps of life. Mr. Paul S. Abbott, the well-known Italian sculptor, presented the young people at the monthly social with an original bust of a young colored boy, "F.Am an American Citizen," which was received with great emulation. Mr. Abbott has offered to make a bust of the pastor: Prof. and Mrs. H. A. Hunt of Prof. and Mrs. G. W. Gover, the visitors at the morning hour.

Nepal in India to Free 51,419 Slaves
LONDON, Feb. 1.—There are 5119 slaves and 15,139 slave owners in Nepal. Publication of these figures today came as a startling surprise to the majority of the British public, who have been generally aware of the existence of slavery rights Indian State which, although independent, is under the aegis of the British Empire.
The Maharajah Sir Chandra Shumrabe Jung, Prime Minister and de facto ruler of Nepal, who also holds the rank of general in the British army, has undertaken to suppress the evil. In a speech it the capital, Kattmandu, in December, and only now reported here, he appealed for assistance in this task from the people in general.
He declared that "Heaven's curse rises upon the slave trade, which is overloaded with the laden tears of parents and children" and drew moving pictures of ruthless separations of husbands and wives, parents and children by the slave owners.
Announcing that a date would be baked when slavery would cease to be legal in Nepal, the Prime Minister outlined a scheme wholly by the Government would assist in the suppression by buying slaves from the population that he sought to sell and librering them. He intimated that the scheme would operate gradually, but would look to the ultimate and complete elimination of the trade. The Government of Nepal, he added, had allotted £1,500 for the purpose.

REFUSES TO ANNUL MARRIAGE FOR COLOR

St. Paul Judge Rules That "Race Offers No Ground" for Action Against Colored Woman.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 9 (Exchange). — "Race offers no grounds for amusement of marriage," ascerted Judge R. D. O'Brien, in district court, last Tuesday in denying judgment to Otis Ostmann (white), of Merriam Park, in his suit for the amusement of his marriage with his wife, Mrs. Crema Ostmann. The case was bitterly contested on both sides and much interest was attached to its outcome.
Ostmann through his counsel, Gustave Axelrod, petitioned the court to release him from his marriage because he had discovered that his wife was not white and that she had deceased him. Attorney Axelrod contended that race was sufficient grounds for annulment when it had been definitely proved that this misunderstanding was brought about through fraud. He also pointed out that his client thought his wife up until a short while ago when he discovered her correct racial identity.
In replying to the charges of fraud framed by Ostmann, Attorney Swan, representing Mrs. Ostmann, pointed out to the judge that his client was a member of our race was not sufficient grounds for annulment of marriage. He also showed the court that no fraud had been intended as Ostmann know before marriage the relatives of his wife were not white. This fearless judge then rederived his decision in favor of Mrs. Ostmann.
The couple were married last November and had lived very happily together until a few weeks ago. Oustmann is of a very aristocratic family and lived in the exclusive Merriam Park district where his wife also lived before their separation. Mrs. Oustmann was formerly Miss Creona Beasley, of St. Paul, and is the daughter of a well known Crowded court rooms had witnessed the trying of the case and the entire St. Paul community has watched with interest its progress. The unblessed decision of a fearless judge has been applauded by outstanding citizens of both races—St. Paul Appeal.
Howard School of Health Broadens Its Work
WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb. 9.—The School of Public Health of Howard University, in its attempt to serve in the largest possible way, has inaugurated a course of lectures for the colored social workers of Washington.
Among the lecturers are the following: Dr. A. B. Jackson, director of the School of Public Health and Hygiene; Professor A. S. Beckam, professor of psychology; Dr. Benjamin Karpman, professor of psychiatry; Dr. Mary Fitch, professor of home economics; Dean Kelly Miller, dean of the Junior college; Professor S. Nabison, professor of religious education; Professor Jones, professor of sociology, and Miss Emily Dinwidie.
The improvement in the Dental College in the past two years has been marked with the result of a great improvement in the standing of graduates before State and country, five State colleges giving one hundred per cent passing.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Feb. 8.—Representative George Sh. Roberta, of Youngstown, the district of Ohio in which the Ku Klux Klan organization is quite large and active, has introduced a bill in the Ohio Legislature to prohibit intermarriage of whites with persons of any other race.
Mustard would be prohibited marrying white persons to those of different race. Places of 2500 to 9,000 and imprisonment from serve to nine years would be imposed.
Because employees of private concern work harder and accomplish more than government employees, it is the policy of the Interior Department to have all possible work done by contract on competitive bidding, said Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work. In an address to the Associated Containers Company, that company, the corporation in Washington, D.C. "It has been frequently stated that the Government only gets six cents for every dollar it spends for public improvements." declared Secretary Work. "The reason given for this is that employees will not work as diligently for a municipality, a county, a state, or the national government, as for private employers. It is maintained that employees, in private government, are cloaked with civil service protection and are not required to exercise individual initiative or personal enterprise.
"With employees in private business a different situation exists. They must 'deliver the goods' or let everything possible by contract be confronted with the possibility of losing their employment. "For these reasons it is the policy of the interior Department to let everything possible by contract in competitive bidding."
Atlanta Has School of Opportunity
Atlanta Has School of Opportunity
ATLANTA, GA. Feb. 2-9. The Associated Press wrote: What is regarded by most welfare experts as a particularly effective piece of social work is the Opportunity School being developed here as a part of the extensive Urban League program. This school unites to teach various simple vocational skills to teachers them in positions. The effort grew out of the fact that many of those who came to the League offices seeking aid and employment when questioned were found to be unable to do any particular thing well. In many cases they were hired and lived on farms in benighted areas and who willing to try most any kind of work could not do even the simplest things with intelligence.
The League in an effort to correct this condition started first a cooking class, then a class in dining room care or house management. They were thronged with people anxious to learn. Later a sewing and then a millinery class were taught, and a navy seaker after a job but a number of Atlantas first hulls have joined a millinery class under the classes of the League.
Quickly the classes outgrew the League offices and quarters for the cooking classes were found above the Robinson book store. Here a model dining room was installed and several times a week advanced students of the class under the uleaders of the James McNeill and J. O. Thoreau luncheon to the business men and office employees of the various enterprises along Auburn avenue.
It not only has become a popular noon day rendezvous but has attracted the attention of the Board of Education, which body has agreed to provide for its continuation of the city's vocational education program. As soon as the new Henderson building is finished an entire door is to be devoted to this Urban League Opportunity School. Jalissa A. Thomas, formerly of Cleveland, is the executive secretary of the local league. Mrs. L. Craig heads the employment department of the Clarkes Brooks are attaches, the latter holding the important position of contact secretary, in which capacity she will have to sell Opportunity School to Atlantans and the folk it is designed to help. Jesse O. Thomas, who is now one of the national field secretaries of the Urban League, has been involved in the work of the Urban League in this city as well as the other points in which it has gained a foothold in the South.
AGED COUPLE VICTIMS
OF AUTO ACCIDENT

in a car accident, was reported

based on persons violating the law.
It is said that Mr. Roberts claimed this the only way to persecute such the integrity in this country is to make out severe punishment to those who violated the purity of the Nordics by internmentrying with other racial types. He claimed that the recent disgraced acts of Rhinelandier. Fisson and beautiful racehole Rachio would not have occurred had suitable laws been placed on the statute books of the State wherein those managers took place.
Opening a series of articles on the "Nordic Myth," to be published in The Nation, Dr. Franz Boan professor of anthropology at Columbia University, analyzes present concepts of race and race prejudice in the issue of January 25. Dr. Boan denies that hereditary mental distractions between races have ever been established. He says: "The occurrence of hereditary mental traits that belong to a particular race has never been proved. The available evidence makes it much more likely that the same mental traits appear in varying distribution among races. The behavior of an individual is therefore not determined by his racial affiliation, but by the character of his ancestry and his cultural environment. We may judge of the mental characteristics of families and individuals, but not of races."
Dr. Ross points out that children do not have race antagonism until they are taught to have it: "As the child grows up the dividing line between the races is impressed upon it and in this way the race consciousness develops in children and unifies reaction which excludes the same intensity of feeling as the so-called instinctive reactions."
Dr. Ross further points out that it is impossible to frame such a description of any race that all of its members will be included: "At whole racial group can never no described by a few descriptive terms, because there will always be many individuals of deviant types. It is our impression that the Swede is blonde, blue-eyed, tall and long-headed; but many Swedes do not conform to this description. We cannot assign one individual to one race, another to another, because we do not know the degree of variability found in each individual and in account of the long- continued mixture the characteristics of the parental races will appear in varying combinations in each individual. Attempts to establish among members of the same social group correlations between mental character and bodily form have failed."
Asserting that "many hereditary characteristics are not racial in character, but must be assigned to . . . family strains," Dr. Hoas concludes that: "If this be true, it is clear that any generalized characterization of a race must be misinfecting. It may be possible to characterize family lines, but the assumption of general racial characteristics, anatomical, physiological, or mental, excepting those that belong to the race as a whole, is arbitrarily made."

Attucks Day Urged
BOSTON, Mass. Feb. 3 — *Crispus Attucks observances* to signalize the 150th anniversary of the day when, on March 5, 1770, the colored American began giving the last full measure of devotion to this country, which he has never in Indian history earned earnestly urged by the Nation's Rights League from national headquarters here.
The league holds that to make March 5 an annual race day for public honor to this colored hero who was the first of all the marriors to give his life in actual fight for the independence of this country is a most effective method to claim to liberty and racial equality; namely, its long, unimproved record of fighting, bleeding and dying as soldiers in every war of the Republic.
Matron Says Doctor Promised to Marry
DES MONES. In., Feb. 9.-Mr. Eric P. Mason, owner of Keystone Pharmacy. 11th and Center streets, in being used by Miss Rebecca Nelson, Matron of the Protection Home, charging that he made love to her promising marriage, thereby inducing her to invest money in the above mentioned establishment.
Miss Nelson charges that Mason though married had her under the impression that she was to become his partner in domestic affairs as well as in business and for that reason all other suitors were spurned; while Mr. Mason claims he told her from the beginning that he was a married man with a wife in Washington.

Speakers of National Reputation Will Address Colored Contractors and Builders—Practical Ideas of Home Building Will Be Discussed

Your Mortgage Needs Are They Properly Cared For?
HAMPTON, Va., Feb. 9—The third annual Hampton Institute Builders' Conference, which aims to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, will be held on Feb. 23, 24 and 25, according to H. Whittemore Brown, who is in charge of the Builders' Course in the Institute Trade School. The course will discuss building problems. Roundtable meetings will give members an opportunity to express their own ideas and gain information from the experience of others. Arthur A. Shurleff, landscape architect, and adviser of the Boston Park and Recreation Department, who in previous conferences has given instructive talks on improving the home grounds, will be one of the principal speakers. He will discuss, with the aid of灯笼 hides, some practical ideas on how to come as a result of his wide experience in landscape architecture.

Negro voters recently helped defeat a proposal to institute the commission form of government in Dunville, Illinois, according to a report received and made public. Advancement of Colored People, 61th avenue New York, 112-255-2000, for the attitude of colored people are set forth by Marie E. Gray, Secretary of the N. A. C. A. P. in Decatur a nearby town, where the commission form was adopted and colored people found that it was used against them. Miss Gray, in a letter dated January 23, published in the Decatur Herald, says: "Since the newspaper has been made by both newspapers, the defeat of the commission form of government in Dunville was due to the Negro vote. I think we should rike an explanation of that."
"I know nothing about the methods used in Danville; as you say some people worked against the commission form; you never find everyone working on the same job. Here in Decatur we went into the election, at least I did, believing that a commission would give us a chance." "With the oldermen the colored people of Decatur had workers in different branches of the city service. The jobs were mostly a living to whomver had them. We had policemen; some of the finest policemen Decatur ever had were
Standard of Provision
ATLANTA. Ga., Feb. 9.—What provision should a fair-minded community make for its colored population? In the effort to answer that question, the staff of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, in session here, has formulated the following as a sugar country provision for Negro welfare as to schools, health, economic improvement and public welfare institutions.
Equitable distribution of school funds, both for maintenance and buildings: Jeanes Fund supervising teacher for colored schools of the county; erection of at least one Rosenwald school a year until the needs are met; erection and maintenance of a central training school; colorate parent-teacher association; operation of the white association; colored public health nurse and adequate hospital facilities; colored farm and home demonstration agents; proper provision for Negroes in jails, alimshouses and juvenile detention homes; juvenile probation officer or advisory committee; humane and just administration of the law, without discrimination as to race; the being put into the hands of local interracial committees throughout the South.

chitectural principles. He will consider good architecture, honest building and adequate planting as important features in the development of a beautiful home. The greatest single home will one day be presented today in estimating. The conference will devote one day to a practical discussion of this problem. The principles underlying accurate estimating, such as carefully kept cost records, adequate knowledge of arithmetic, geometry and accounting, will be explained and discussed. The conference will be fully applied to average building operations will also be demonstrated in detail. Arrangements will be made to give detailed instruction in estimating during the ten days which follow the conference. This will enable contractors and builders to finance with the least possible interruption to their regular business.
The conference aims to help all those who are interested in any way in building operations. Consequently all who have such an interest are cordially invited to attend.
colored men. There were colored men in the street department, colored men in the sewer and water department. But where are they now? There is one at the waterworks. The commissioners have lost sight of the fact that the colored people of Decatur pay a large percentage of the taxes that go to support this city and that pay the wages of the men and women of every other race that are bired by them. "So using Decatur as an example, if the colored people of Daphne were informed that they would lose their representation if the commission form carried, they were correctly informed."

Take Salts to Wash Kidneys if Back Pains You or Bladder Bothers
Flush your kidneys by drinking a quart of water each day, also take salts occasionally, says a noted authority, who tells us that too much rich food forms acids which almost paralyze the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become sluggish and weaken; then you may suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache, diginess, your stomach tense, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad, you have schismatic twings. The cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinary waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts in any pharmacy here; take a tablepoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts are made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with litchi, and has been used for years to help flush, and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so that they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder pain. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure, and makes a delightful aftereffectible little-water drink. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year.

ALBANY, Feb. 9. -There must be pretty fair living in the real estate business, if one is to judge from the number of companies that are incorporating and embarking on to Take last month, for instance, out of a total of 1,911 companies of all sorts and description that incorporated in New York state, nearly 25 per cent, or to beTitle more exact, 423 stated purpose as real estate and construction. Of course, there are other companies entering fields where the competition was less sharp, one or two to manufacture beads, another to turn out lasting powder, a third to deliver pipes and a fourth to concoct manure.
A report covering the month made by Florence E. S. Knapp, Secretary of State, reveals that one what may, the women of the land will have a wide selection in their toggery, no less than seventy-two garment-making companies having incorporated in January, India still runs strong and moton pictures command attention. While the month didn't quite measure up to a year ago, there was a strong tone throughout.

WE CANNOT URGE TOO STRONGLY that readers of The Amsterdam News in general and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in particular, read carefully Prof. William H. Ferris' article in this issue on "The Spectacular Career of Marcus Garvey," who is now safely behind the bars of the Federal Prison at Atlanta, under sentence for five years for using the mails of the United States to defraud.
MR. FERRIS, who for several years was associated with Mr. Garvey in the U. N. I. A. movement and who was formerly literary editor of the organization newspaper, The Negro World, deals with his former chief in a dispassionate, almost charitable, though both frank and truthful, way. Unlike many of Garvey's enemies, he does not see the wisdom of burning the body of a man who died by his own hands. For, after all, Marcus Garvey, sitting as judge, dissent attorney, defendant, defense counsel and jury, deliberately convicted Marcus Garvey. Of course, we do not expect Marcus Garvey to admit this, but it is true, nevertheless. Instead, he lays his temporary defeat (and he still regards it as only temporary) to his enemies both inside and outside the race to which he belongs.
AS A MATTER OF FACT Garvey had no enemies powerful enough to defeat him, except himself. His tenacity, his nerves, his powers of oratory and his ability to hold his following were sufficient to defeat the purposes of all his enemies put together. But when Marries Garvey added his strength to that list is enemies, he sealed his doom.

FAR FROM BEING OPPOSED to all assured officers for the 369th Infantry of the New York National Guard. Assemblyman Pope B. Billups is understood to be unquestionably in favor of them, and that his reason for not signing the petition circulated by the Equity Congress is due to the fact that it recommends specific officers for promotion, thus making it an individual and not a race proposition. It might also be well to state that this same objection to the petition has been raised by several others whom The Amsterdam News sought to interview and was communicated to officials of the Equity Congress.
THOUGH instituted by the Equity Congress, the demand for all colored officers for Harlem's crack regiment must be lifted above individuals and personalities. It involves a great principle and must be urged from that standpoint ALONE. The Amsterdam News, in officially supporting the demand, is not interested either in the promotion of any of the officers mentioned in the petition nor audited. If it is not possible to find qualified Negro officers to man the regiment, should Governor Smith recognize the purpose of the law which created it, we have no need for it.
THE WORLD GOES ON LIKE the eclipse, the world did not end Friday night as predict-
ed by a certain religious fanatic in Patchogue, nor did colored people in Harlem run helter-skelter singing "Oh, Rocks, Don't Fall on Me" and "Where Shall I Be When the First Trumpet Sounds," as predicted by imaginative reporters for the daily press. WE DID, however, read of a white physician who brooded over the prophet's prediction to such an extent that he killed himself.
AS Commissioner of Police Enright says New York cops have the crooks on the run, but the unfortunate part of it is that they are too many jumps ahead of the police. We want the police to catch up with the crooks.
Praises Du Bois' Fisk Stand
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News
Sir: Relative to the publication in the New World of January 30, 1925, concerning higher education at Fisk University, I feel compelled to that the firm and masterly attitude adopted by the New York alumni led by Dr. W. E. B. Duk favor of a broader and more unhampered for the training and development of Negro intellective problems and warrants the uninstituted port of all men and women, more so those of colored race themselves.
In these days of world readjustment the cannot hope to survive in the West, at least, any contest which denies him the right to with a clear and discriminating vision upon various problems, domestic and foreign, in which or may be involved, in order to deduce the most rational and possible conditions; a structure which he builds, besides a home of his own mental effort must be had understanding and toleration, with the wide wide perspective, anything short of which he propagates the undestable hat in the hand.
To yield on the question of untrammeledition for Negroes is to invite unwelcome com-reognition from intelligent thinkers, and cept the castigation that the position of the man is but one of submission and acquiescence. I would rather men perish by inches than such a detestible and slavish position.
We must either stand solidly to contest uncerically the right to think as men and women broadest sense or deny the right of being class rational humans.
The position taken by Dr. DuBois in a clear masterly one, and should be waged to its conclusion.
In all our affairs we should carry uppermost our minds that commendable maxim of Count "If a man does not strive to resist slight acts, justice he will soon find himself called upon to the gravest wrongs."
Yours truly.

Sir: Relative to the publication in the New York World of January 20, 1925, concerning higher education at Fish University, I feel compelled to state that the firm and masterly attitude adopted by the New York alumni led by Dr. W. E. B. Dukos in favor of a broader and more unharmed field for the training and development of Negro intellect is very commendable and warrants the unrestricted support of all men and women, more so those of the colored race themselves.
In these days of world readjustment the Negro cannot hope to survive in the West, at least, under any condition which denies him the right to care with a clear and discriminating vision upon the various problems, domestic and foreign, in which he is or may be involved, in order to deduce therefrom the most rational and possible conclusions; and the structure which he builds, besides being the outcome of his own mental effort must be based on his own mental toleration, with the widest possible perspective, with the highest ability he may propagate the undesirable habit which caused. To yield on the question of untrammed education for Negroes is to invite unworthy comments, non-recognition from intelligent thinkers, and to accept the castigation that the position of the black man is but one of submission and acquiescence.
I would rather men perish by inches than accept such a detestible and slavish position.
We must either stand solidly to contest unequivocally the right to think as men and women in the broadest sense or deny the right of being classed as rational humans.
The position taken by Dr. DeBois in a clean and masterly one, and should be waged to its logical conclusion.
In all our affairs we should carry uppermost in our minds that commendable maxim of Courtance: "If a man does not strive to resist slight acts of injustice he will soon find himself called upon to face the gravest wrong."
Yours truly.

After Garvey—What?
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
Dear Sir: Now that the brief and spectacular career of Marcus Garvey in the United States has been brought to an end it will give those who are in control of the U. N. I. A. an opportunity to substitute sane and practical policies for the unsound and self-glorifying programme of its late leader. It is an open secret that a large portion of the rank and file of the organisation had become disillusioned as to Garvey's ability to achieve any permanent advantage in the movement, among many of the leaders of the movement especially those who were closest to Garvey and knew his egoism, limitations and unwillingness to be advised) his incarceration is secretly and confidentially admitted to be the best thing for the organisation.
Garvey's leadership has been a saturnalia of squandering of Negroes' hard-earned money (returning it to white folks faster than it was earned), law suite, threats, misleading statements, bombast, abuse of DuBos, Moton and other Negro leaders, parades, monkeyshines and embarking into liabilities and calling them investments and business. He centralized all power into his hands, and by controlling the pursestrings of the U. N. I. A. was able to surpass his will (no matter how stupid) upon his fellow Negroes and embark upon horseback" and, like all untrained men with at their command, he made of himself a laughing-stock to intelligent people, while forcing white people to conclude that if his efforts represented the best that the Negro race was capable of producing, the race must indeed be inferior.
Men who were at one time favorable to his idea of race unity on an international scale deserved him when they found out how utterly his plans were divorced from reality. They themselves having the highest interest of the race at heart, and not being aerosolishers, they realised that if unchecked in his unbounded craving for the lightness he would ruin the race and set it back centuries. Many of these men and women, fearing got the consequences and defying the threats of Garray and his followers, opposed him openly and actively in New York, his mentors Briga, Rendolph, Owen, Pickens and the men who were unidentified substituted to testify against him and showed that to them the race as a whole and its future were more important than the irresponsible but "big" talk of a single individual
Whatever he was—sealot, martyr, fool, knave, swindler, honest, dishonest, for sighted leader, wantrel of his race—wealth, blunderer or what—he has undoubtedly made an impression on his face. Whether his successors have the ability to hold the organization in act and make achievement more substantial than his "spiritual" Black Star Line, Negro Parties Corporation, etc., etc., remains to be seen, but they can rest assured that with his removal as a hindrance to progress many former opponents will, if not co-operate, at any rate not oppose. They have a fair mind and should make the best of it by reorganizing the U. N. L. A. to bring it into consciousness with the spirit of the age, divesting it of its medical apparatus and making it what it should be, a demonic, body functioning intelligently for the goal of the race, rather than the instrument of one man's unrestrained ego.
Yours for the highest good of the race.

Garvey's Last Stand

OFF again! On again! Gone again! Garvey! Garvey has lost his appeal and faces a possible five years in Federal Prison, or whatever number of months they may keep him before he can be paroled. And he certainly cannot complain of any undue haste in American courts so far as he is concerned. They allowed him five whole weeks in 1925 to try and convict himself. Then they gave him several months in the city jail, in which to prepare his appeal. Finally they let him out on bail, although he had threatened nearly everybody who had disagreed with him, including the prosecutor — and even the impartial and very patient judge. And then they kept postponing and postponing and postponing his case in appeal, until they allowed him to prepare his case in a great printed volume of three thousand pages! So that many people, including Garvey, had begun to think that nothing would ever be done about it, anyhow. But just as he found on the occasion of his trial in Judge Mack's court that volumes of spoken words could not stay his conviction, so now he finds in Judge Hough's court that volumes of printed words cannot reverse that conviction.
Words words, words! They go big in Carnegie Hall and in Liberty Hall, where they are unopposed by facts. But oh, what impotent things words are when they are just air or ink!
We may be sorry that Garvey made it necessary for his career to end in jail, but we are not sorry to see him go to jail since he did make it necessary. It jails cannot open for somebody when theigner and poor are ruthlessly robbed, then the jails ought to be torn down. The doyear sententious the other week tour stealing. The Governor of Kansas is indicted on a charge of stealing. Washington politician and New York millionaires are being "sent up" every week for stealing. Emebazing misappropriating — defrauding — grafting, all those "nice words only mean stealing. Well, then, if the rogues are to be sent to the doyear, they must be exception of those who steal from black people, that would be a discrimination against black people indeed.
And Garvey's career is no particular reflection on the race to which he belongs. Why, some big white politicians and Cabinet members in Washington stole more in a season than Garvey have stolen in all the rest of his life.
We believe that Garvey started out about six years ago with reasonable ideas and an honesty of purpose. But the egotism of any man is that man's greatest enemy. The one thing which no egotist can ever stand is prosperity. Egotism is a disease which grows rapidly worse in a condition of prosperity.
We are profoundly sorry—and we fully approve the verdict.
Wealth of Negroes
$2,000,000,000
Survey Also Shows Race Is Much Healthier.
Preston News Service
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb
Monroe H. Work, of Tuskegee institute, for the last 20 years compiler of the Negro Year Book, after a recent survey stated that the wealth of the Negroes in America at present is about $2,000,000, which is one and a half times as much as it was in 1912. The amount expended in $384 for Negro education totalled $40,000,000, as contrasted with $13,756,561 in 1912. Up to that year about 5,000 Negroes had completed college courses. In the last 12 years the number has doubled. During the past decade, the Negro, according to Mr. Work, the majority of living death rate and an increasing health span. In 1912 the death rate a thousand was 22.9, in 1922, 10 years later it was 15.7 a thousand.
For Negro policy holders in the Metropolitan Life insurance Company in 1912 the average expectancy of life for males and females of all ages from two years was 61.3 years. In 1922 the expectancy for males and females 64.1 years and for females 64.1 years. Mr. Work noted tendency in politics towards independence on the part of the Negro voter, and an increasing tendency to vote the Democarcytic ticket locally. He also demonstrated a large increase to public office. Other features set forth in the year—beak—are the entry and activities of colored women in politics, the graduation of the number of Negroes allowed to vote, the increased effort of Negroes to break down the "white primary" in the South, and the population shifts in the last 12 years.
IN MEN'S WEAR and women's

History
J. OTHO GRAY
A KNOWLEDGE of history is a valuable background to every vocation of life. No matter what your occupation or study, you should have at least a good bird-eye view of the progress of the human race from savage to civilization. History is characterized by a comprehensiveness possessed by no other branch of learning, and its importance as a practical and cultural asset cannot be overestimated. It is not merely a dry chronology of dates and dynasties vital and mighty drama enacted by the people. The evolution of time exhibiting the development of man as he struggled to conquer nature, himself and his fellowmen. It is the universal textbook that touches upon every subject and includes a survey of all arts, sciences and religions. It is a biography of celebrated men and women. It is a vast storehouse of inexhaustible facts bearing upon every phase of human existence. If you would know a little about everything, your opinions will be better founded. The insight and deserve more attention if you know history. No one can call himself really well informed who lacks historical knowledge.
How shall a person understand his extent of ignorance of a subject if he has no knowledge of history? How can he render a sound, balanced, keen opinion without some degree of historical information? Those who know nothing about the splendid days of old Rome and Athens can have no idea of the magnificent culture of ancient Rome. The old Greeks and Romans were people of a powerful physical and mental build. Their attunements in arts, arms, literature and philosophy should command palestaking and loving study. In youth ancient history was my favorite reading, and my familiarity with the genius of those notable people planted in my growing mind noble images and ideas that contributed incalculably to its equipment. History illuminates us upon which to rear a true and liberal cultivation. The value of science should also be mentioned. However, no study can take precedence over history.
If every colored youth could have before his forming mind the brilliant panorama of the rise of Rome and the intellectual splendor of the Age of Pericles he could do no other than grow into a superior and mentally well developed man with a broad viewpoint capable of weighing matters with discernment. Its mind would be stored with a host of inspiring examples and rich with a depth of stimulating ideas and suggestions. In every way the old Greeks and Romans were the finest human beings that ever lived. You will spend your time to great advantage if you undertake the profitable labor of making their accustomance.
A study of history reveals the fact there is a guiding hand regulating human affairs and always for the better. This is particularly apparent in some of the great battles, such as Waterloo and the Marne. Whenever a crisis arises involving the peace and safety of the world a power other than man's decides the issue. Behind artillery and barrage, cavalry and sacrifice is the Captain of Armies, whose orders never fall. The study of history makes one be at home in many lands and among many people. A deep knowledge of it, it is always impressive and an effective betrayal to other learning. It is an adifying experience to follow the march of history in high places and along the panaches of great events. By so doing you will be better equipped to make history yourself. An excellent book for the general reader is the recently published *Dustless of History* by H. G. Wells. After reading it you will be a ruler person in many ways.

Founder of Hamilton Institute Praised
HAMPTON, Va. Feb. 1.—"Samuel Chapman Hampton, who founded Hampton Institute in 1865, saw that any claim of recognition which was not founded on actual achievement was vain." declared the Rev. Dr. John Hopkins Denison of New York, who delivered the Founder's address at Hampton Institute today.
"Armstrong saw the real crux in the program of race relations," said Dr. Denison. "Armstrong saw that any pride, whitter of white or black, that was not founded on real worth and effective work was false and pernicious. For certain men to assume that society owes them honor and respect and a living merely to attain not to grow or rise means jealousy, bitterness and conversion of all social progress."
Dr. Denison described Armstrong a visit to the home of his grandfather, Mark Hopkins.
"Armstrong was characterized by the quality of dish which almost invariably shakes its finger at responsibility, muzzles at the audience of intelligence and refuses to shape a course to a definite goal," the preacher declared. "Armstrong combined with the most careful judgment an extraordinary insight. He had the dash of a man who possessed of perfect intelligence. He was a man that the world delights to worship as a hero. He showed almost superhuman intuition at critical moments when cause and effect being balanced."
Dr. James E. Greg, principal of Hampton Institute, introduced Dr. Denison who is the son of the Rev. John Henry Denison, chaplain at Hampton in 1850, and grandson of Mark Hopkins, the famous president of Williams College. Among the trustees present today were George Foster Peabody and William Javischiefel of New York; Francis G. Peabody and Henry W. Foote of Cambridge. Mass.; James E. Greg and Frank W. Darling of Hampton, Va., and Homer L. Ferguson of Newport News, Va.
Douglass and Lincoln BY MONROE TROTTER.
Greetings to our own colored America in the name of two illustrious benefactors. Frederick Douglas of the race, Abraham Lincoln for the race.
February, natal month of both of these saints of liberty for the colored American, again summons our race to show to the world admiration and grateful memory for these two workers and leaders in the struggle which brought freedom—Douglas, the colored abolitionist and race leader, Lincoln, the war President emancipator.
The can be no more creditable and fair for any race than to honor them and glorify the work and deeds of its own great. Who would be respected by others must first themselves show respect for their own, has been the rule in the history of rising races.
Frederick Douglas began as an obscure clothel slave, freed himself and rose, chiefly by his own efforts, to orator, editor, lecturer, presidential advisor, Federal official, United States diplomat, recognized race leader and oratorical genius, the most conspicuous public figure of his race in his generation. Civily is he the race's greatest state man, but he was false to the name of freedom and civic equality. he never compromised on the race's claims to full citizenship rights.
Douglass' most difficult, courageous and vital effort was his determination to carve an independent race career, after years in the organized work of the beloved abolitionists, with which he always co-operated, to show the world that his own race could "first strike the blow" of those "who would be free" and which human history decrees that every oppressed class or race must do to securely win the day.
SOUTHERN WORKMAN
FOR THIS MONTH
The leading article in the current issue of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) entitled "Hampton in Brunswick" deals with the influence of St. Paul School, Brunswick County, on the community. This school is an outpost of Hampton institute and was started by James S. Brunswick, a Hampton graduate—now archdeacon—in 1882. This article is followed by a description of the welfare of the students of the Olive Street Baptist Church, Chicago. Susie A. Honsor, secretary to the pastor. Both articles are professionally illustrated.

By Kouraid Bercovil Published by The Century Co., 368 Fourth Avenue, New York City.
THIS sumptuously illustrated, beautifully printed book, one New Yorker, who is speaking, likes better than any story of the city that has ever been written. For it tells, not of the shops and the theaters, the great avenues and the overwhelming traffic, not even of the town's rather dull history, but of the multitudes of people who crowd within its limits. It is the New York of the Scandinavian and the French, the African and the Jew, of the Gypsy, the Hungarian, the Italian and the Chinese, the New York, an ashes of the town, on its own, which stretch all the way all the continents, like tributary camels in a desert for water. This New York of the Syrians by the Battery, of the Americans in Greenwich Village, is described with vivid particularity. Here on East Fourth street we see a gypsy home. The long store that had once been a butcher's shop was compelled. Even the walls were bunged with thick oriental rugs some two inches thick, of all kinds of carpets and upholstery, stops and visitors to have their fortunes told. The old women no longer care to go out upon the open road with the Spring. When can we make $20 of a night telling fortunes, why leave New York? Not far away in a dingy tenement is the home of a Macedonian. He is very poor, but confident that no race equals his intelligence and bravery. Every house of a Macedonian adorned a palace of Alexander Macedonian. South on Pell street, a Chinese child, with a face like a cameo in amber, runs about her home in perfect freedom, seventh of the family earnings spent upon her in luxury. And so the pictures move on.
The chapter upon Africa will interest the colored people of the country more than any other. Konrad Barcovici visited Harlem and other colored sections and met and talked with many of the Negroes. He amounted to a humiliating mixture among the disparities. He admires most the Indian type, the woman especially; "The big gala eyes swim in clear white pools, and the hair is like shavings of ebony, lustrous and rich and plaited down over trum and beautiful necka." "Almost everything we have of true native art in this country," the artist goes on, "of Negro or African individuals, jazz, the dance and some of our best poetry. The origin of native American art is African."
The chapter takes us up and down the city and especially through Harlem. It will far from satisfy its colored readers who will find matters to criticise. But so will every group of which Bercevoli writes. It is impossible in a book of such scope to recite the exact truth on each point; one can simply give impressions. But the impressions for the most part are correct. Each race, however, will object to its picture, for a race is like an individual; when the photographer comes up to be in his best expression on its face. No tortuosity or incorrect gesture: "But around the World in New York" is full of gay life and the galaxy of Harlem is shown with the rest; perhaps "The indoor Avilator" as a name in a visiting card to signify an elevator man in the most delightful joke told on the race. The shadows are shown impressively. And through the chapter there is deep, honest sympathy.
Bercovici has great hope for this city of a hundred peoples and he describes the "slow filtering, drop by drop, into a different civilization." carbon distilling itself into diamonds." Here, I am afraid, the writer sees that for which he longs to realize, that really happening. Unfortunately the races that have been here for some generations, like the Irish, lose their individuality, become drab rather than diamond-like. To quote from Bercovici in another connection: "The public schools grind out Americans in the same fashion as sauages, all in the same casing, though from different kinds of meat." What today, make our city marvelous is its comet, its people recently from all parts of the earth.
THE EAST RIVER bridges are crossed by more than 1,000,000 every day. the population of twenty incorporated cities.
cribing the work of the "Commission on the Church and Race Relations"; and "The Comparison of Race" by Dr. James R. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute.
When immigration shall have stopped, and our public schools have done their 100 per cent American worst. New York will be as dull as Omaha. But until then we may rejoice in colorful city through which one may travel around the world.
Frederick Douglas
By Paul Laurence Dunbar
HUSH is over all the teeming lists.
And there is pause, a breath-space in the strife;
A spirit brave has passed beyond the mists.
And vapors that obscure the sun of life.
And Ethiopia, with bosom torn.
Lament the passing of her noblest born.
She weeps for him a mother's burning tears—
She loved him with a mother's deepest love.
He was her champion thro' direful years.
And held her weal all others ends above.
When Bondage held her bleeding in the dust.
He raised her up and whispered, "Hope and Trust."
For her voice, a fearless clarion rung.
That broke in warning on the ears of men;
For her strong bow of his power he strung.
And sent his arrows to the very dark.
Where grim Oppression held his bloody place.
And gloated over the mis'ries of a race.
And he was no soft-tongued apologist:
He spoke straightforward, fearlessly uncrowded.
The sunlight of his truth dispelled the mist.
And set in bold, relief each dark-hued cloud:
To sin and crime he gave their proper hue.
And hurled at evil what was evil's due.
Through good and ill report he cleaved his way
Right onward, with his face set toward the heights.
Nor feared to face the foeman's dread array....
The lash of scorn, the sting of petty spites.
He dared the lightning in the lightning's track.
And answered thunder with his thunder back.
When men maligned him, and their torrent wrath
In furious imprecations o'er him broke.
He kept his counsel as he kept his path:
Twas for his race, not for himself, he spoke.
He knew the import of his Master's call.
And felt himself too mighty to be small.
No miser in the good he held was he—
His kindness followed his horizon's rim.
His heart, his talents, and his hands were free.
To all who truly needed aught of him.
Where poverty and ignorance were rife.
He gave his bounty as he gave his life.
The place and cause that first aroused his might
Still proved its power until his latest day.
In Freedom's lists and for the aid of Right
Still in the foremost rank he waged the fray;
Wrong lived; his occupation was not gone.
He died in action with his armor on!
We weep for him, but we have touched his hand.
And felt the magic of his presence night.
The current that he sent through out the land.
The kindling spirit of his battle cry.
Over all that holds us we shall triumph yet.
And place our banner where his hopes were set!
Oh, Douglass, thou hast passed be yond the shore.
But still thy voice is ringing over the gale!
Thou'st taught thy race how high her hopes may soar.
And bade her seek the heights nor falst, nor fall.
She will not fall, she beads the wringing cry.
She beats the guardian spirit will be nigh.
And, flies from beneath the shaded wing.
She strivens with her bleeding to God!
