"PROPHET" JAILED Colorful N Movies BY THE CAMERAMAN BY the will of the people the American Government passes another four-year mile post in its quest for a more perfect union. New hands take hold of the same structure chiseled out by George Washington and his fellow seekers of independence; cemented together, though by the blood of fellow citizens, under Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant, and placed upon the high pedestal of world appreciation by such eminent presidential successors as Garfield, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Harding. Of his own right and in his own worth, President Coolidge now joins the chain of directors which, in peace and war, has bound together the American principles of Liberty, and Union. We need not pause to repledge our loyalty and our lives. Our past history bespeaks, far more eloquently than do our words of today, our ideal to serve our country. We believe in Liberty and Union, and we know that without those virtues neither a Government nor its subjects can hope to enjoy the fullness of such a freedom as the world has a right to expect of so brave and so free a land as America. In the fashioning of the new American progress, which begins with the inauguration of our President, we ask for no special division or distribution of the blessings of our government, based upon any theoretical separation of us from the citizenry of our country. We seek merely a just portion of what ever benefits the government and its directorate may issue to all its citizens. We desire nothing because of any special estimate which may be placed upon us. But, when, as is often the case, certain individuals and certain groups do, because of color, single us out from the American people, and set aside for us certain inequities, certain customs, and certain practices, for which there is found no authority either in the II. Convention, or in the traditions of Independence which form the balwark and foundation of the United States of America—then, and in those cases, we, as American citizens, as free and as brave as any that may be found, do ask that the forces and the individuals which guide and direct the destinies of this great country, invoke all the principles and all the law that may be necessary on our behalf, in order to show the world, without fear or denial, the truth that liberty and union in America are indeed as Daniel Webster said, one and inseparable, now and forever.

Sanden is an elephant man with a tremendous patience. He announced that since he has been with Sister Harrell he has gained 150 pounds, weighing 325. Sister Harrell also is living bristling with fat, almost twining as big as she was last year. If she continues to get much stuff, she might have to try her own ones on herself. Rev. Madden, as was well-detected, expected a guest who like last year. Concerning how watch nervously from time to time as the crowd failed to apprehend demanded: "How many of you have the —?

"Why I told it went into 15,000 houses in this city. Where did you get need of this meeting?" "On the wagon," came the cry. Getting the collection and the gifts for Sister Harrell is among the prime cause of the meeting. That is done first and the reason becomes clear later, for Sister Harrell suddenly flits from the hall during the process of healing. Rev. Madden opened the meeting with singing and, of course, as for audience had no song books he proceeded to sell some at a quaint each. The usual price is 50 cents, but he cut the rate in half, he announced, for this meeting only. Then after a few songs are going the collection is taken up, and of develops passed around for a "Lost offering for Sister Harrell of one to five dollars, nothing less." Those with envelopes were vided by Rev. Madden to congratulate and give them personally to St. Harrell with the warning not to squeeze her hand when "shaking it" because so many blind were healed in Norfolk by shaking her hand that they wring blisters back it." After the envelopes have been collected and deposited in a large handbag by a white man said to be St. Harrell's husband, the process of "healing" begins. All the sick are lined up, some 60 in number on this occasion, and then St. Harrell prays for them alone. The crowd by this time is wormed up to a pitch where it is looking for a miracle, and are ready to believe anything, as its average of intelligence is very low. Sister Harrell comes to them "in the name of Jesus." She tells them that Jesus Himself is speaking to them with her voice and, because of His power, she can also heal him.

HOWARD GETS OVER HALF MILION Appropriation of $370,000 Given for New Medical School Building WASHINGTON, D. C.—Despite an avalanche of opposition from Southern Democrats, an item for Howard University in the Interior Department Appropriation Bill carrying $720,000 for a medical school building and $221,000 for maintenance, a total of $591,000, successfully passed the House on Saturday, February 28th, and the Senate on Monday, March 2nd. At last Howard University is assured an adequate building for its School of Medicine, so that it may meet the pressing call for additional colored doctors, dentists, and pharmacists. The request for a medical school building has been before the Congress for a number of years, each year heretofore being killed in the House or the Senate by Southern opposition. Last year the insistence with which the supporters of the item for the medical school building urged its approval brought youth such a fight against it as seemed to jeopardize the entire appropriation for the university. The attack upon the appropriations for Howard University are usually based upon the contention that there is no authority by law, for such appropriations are subject to be thrown out entirely on points of order. There is a bill now before the Congress looking to the amendment of the charter of the university so as to authorize congressional appropriations from year to year which will settle the question of legislative authorization for Howard University. Friends Who Helped. The Congressional friends who helped in connection with the securing of the appropriations for Howard University were primarily Hon. Louis C. Cramton, of Michigan, Hon. Martin B. Madden, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, of Illinois; Hon. B. L. French, of Idaho; Senator Reed Snoot, of Utah; Senator Lawrence C. Phipps, of Colorado; Senator William M. Butler, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, of Massachusetts; Senator Royal S. Copeland, of New York; and Senator William C. Bruce, of Maryland. Gradually and surely a realization of the program for a Greater Howard which was inaugurated in 1919 when President J. Stanley Darkee and Secretary-Treasurer Rennott J. Scott joined hands in being brought about. Among the important items announced in 1919 as being necessary to enable Howard University properly to fill its leadership role as a school specializing in the training of colored boys in a Home Economics building, to include dining hall at a cost of $55,000; increase in salaries amount to $20,000; repairing of dormitories at a cost of $20,000; improvement of university grounds. $30,000; improvement in sewerage system. $12,500; athletic field and drill grounds. $47,500; gymnasium and armory. $130,000; medical buildings. $370,000. Major Items Secured. These represent the major items in the big program for expansion of Howard University which was announced by the new administration in 1919. Every one of these items has been realized, with the enlarging of the item for the dining ball by $18,000, making the total cost of the building and equipment amount to $201,000. Also there have been additional increases in the amount allotted each year for improvements of university grounds, and a sum of $25,000 which made it possible to remodel the university law school building and increase class room space so as to accommodate a larger number of students. The appropriation of $187,500 for the gymnasium, armory and athletic field project last year supplies to the university one of its greatest and most appreciated needs. One can appreciate the great strides which Howard University has made during the past few years when it is noted that the appropriation of $351,000 this year is approximately five times as large as the highest annual appropriation received by Howard prior to 1919. A review of the past five years shows a gradual increase in the amount of the annual appropriation by Congress to the university.

This terrified the servants and, a fire alarm was sent in. Policemen, however, were already running down and the house. They thundered down the cellar states and found waste paper burning in two places. The policemen discovered him, but found it difficult to get him out. They used the persuasive powers at their command, however, but even these did not produce a state of submission.

FURNITURE COMPANY ACCUSED OF BRUTALITY International Alliance Comes to Rescue of Pittsburgh Family Beaten by Deputies Seizing Household Goods. PITTSBURGH, Pa. Mar. 9. The case of the brutal attack made on the family of John Payne, living at 550 H尔塔 avenue, by the Pickering Furniture Company (white) and deputies of the sheriff's office in the replevin of goods because of delinquent payments, has caused no small degree of interest and sensation throughout the city of Pittsburgh and its environs. The local branch of the International Alliance of Negroes, an organization functioning for the purpose of upholding the rights of Negroes and bringing about and maintaining justice for darker races throughout the world, has come to th rescue of the Payne family. Attorney Geo. White, Jr., counsel in chief for the local branch of the international Alliance of Negroes, has begun proceedings against the Pickering Company, whose agents made ruthless attack and assault upon the daughters of the Payne family. Mrs. Hilda Reed and Mrs. Delliah Matthews, daughters of Mr. Payne, and living in his home, were victims of the merciless assault of more than 15 white men who whacked them with blackjack, threaked to shoot them, kicked Mrs. Reed, who recently underwent an operation, in the stomach, during a storm of endless violence hurries at the above named persons and the entire family. The Payne family had purchased goods from the Pickering Company valued at $28 and, because of illness and being out of work, were unable to meet the demand for the payment of the balance of $19. Mrs. Reed is the mother of a very young baby and Mrs. Matthews has recently returned from the hospital where she underwent an operation. Grover Nelson, president of the Pittsburgh branch of the International Alliance and head of the welfare work at the Carnegie Steel Company, states "Not only in the case of the Payne family, but in every instance where womanhood is not respected and cruelties and injustices are heaped upon Negroes, simply because they are Negroes, the I. A. N. will fight with all the strength that our organization possesses. We'll spend our last penny to see that wrong is made right. We are Trojans for justice." He declares, Dr. Lional A.

Places too numerous to mention were shown them; scenes were revealed before them in cinematic rapidity. Their trip was quite successful. no important difficulties marred their journey. All were loud in their praise of the hospitality and comforts shown them through the arrangement of the Walker company and for the enjoyment and further education afforded by the trips.

Sister Harrell Called Faker Sister Harrell Called Faker (Continued from Page 1) been performed by Jesus. It is significant that of the only ones she tackled Sunday afternoon none were on two crutches. To one white man, whose cane was snatched away and sent out "cured," the writer said: "Were you lame?" He replied sadly, as he hopped away: "Yes, and I'm lame yet." This man, like the others, whose crutches were taken away, are just out the price of a stick or crutch, as they will surely have to get another. And it is by this process that Sister Harrell was able to give away, as she claimed, "500 crutches to the police last year." The same holds true of the deaf. The car trumpet and other appliances are snatched away to be held as trophies captured from the devil. The writer talked with two deaf women "cured" by Sister Harrell and they were deafer than ever without the trumpets. One woman made a desperate effort to hold on to hers after being "cured," but Rev. Madden snatched it from her and threw it in the ring, saying: "You don't want that instrument of the devil any more, sister." Suddenly, in the midst of the healing, Sister Harrell fitted away with her crew into a costly limousine, leaving some 50 of the astonished sick standing in line. Opinion has been voiced that some effort should certainly be made by the city authorities to stop what many term as a huge "fraud." Sister Harrell made most of those present promise to bring three persons for the evening meeting. She will hold forth all this week, with two meetings a day. Audience Small On Monday night Sister Harrell also had a small audience. The competition with the gynies, the regular trade and the voodoo doctors seems to be too strong for her this time. The meeting lacked pop in spite of her gang on the platform, who tried to whoop things up by jassing to hymns and doing a sanctified Charleston. She attempted to cure the deaf and dumb after lining them up on the platform, but failed absolutely. Still the audience, primed for the miraculous, howled with joy. One of these deaf men pronounced by Sister Harrell—George Curry, 219 West 17th street—said later, in answer to my written query: "I couldn't hear a word she said. I could only see her lips move. I would have paid her if she cured me. "I have been deaf since 1898. All the best white specialists on Park avenue have tried to cure me, but failed. I would give everything I have to be able to hear. I am too poor to be deaf. A friend brought me here tonight, saying that she could cure. I believed hard she could cure, but nothing happened. She is a fake." Sister Harrell, however, doesn't fail to rake in the dollars. The sick are being relieved; yes, of their cash. There are several other signs of lakery apparent to any one with even a small amount of intelligence. One of these is a woman who got up in the audience when Rev. Madden asked for testimonials on Sunday and said she has been cured of her nerves. She also announced that she was a Jewess, converted to Christ, and that she was being persecuted by her people. A few minutes later she turned out that she was a part of the regular gang. Monday night she was on her knees on the platform, going through all manner of agressions, but stopping in the midst of it all every now and then to primp her hair. Two policemen with whom I talked insisted that the people were being cured and that those who failed to be cured were at fault because they lacked faith. A friend who was with me, on hearing their answer, said: "Yes, and this is the type of mind that is going to censor our plays." A tip for the numbers fans. Sister Harrell gives out at each meeting numbers to be prayed for. I got 31. THE State of Oregon is at last taking final steps to clean up hep statutes relative to slave and free Negroes.

N.A.A.C.P. WRITES PRES. COOLIDGE ON BURNING The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, through its secretary, James Weldon Johnson, has made public the text of a letter to President Coolidge, calling his attention to the burning at stake on March 2 in Georgia of a Negro by a mob, whose members made no attempt to conceal their identity. The letter offers this lynching as evidence of the continued inability of the States to suppress mob murder and as sustaining President Coolidge's plea to Congress that Federal action be taken to end the crime of lynching. The letter is as follows: 'My Dear Mr. President: "As evidence of the continued inability of the States to apprehend and punish lynchers, I sent you enclosed a clipping from the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph of Marion 4. I wish to call your attention to the statement made therein, both in the headline and in the account of the lynching of a Negro in Georgia on March 2, that the lynchers are well known in the community and that there was no attempt at concealment of features. "We have to-day wired Governor Cliff M. Walker of Georgia as follows: "On March 1, a Nearo accused of crime was captured by a moo and burned at the stake near the town of Rocky Ford. Screven County, Georgia. So reliable a paper as the Macon Telegraph, in printing an account of this lynching, states in the headline, "Lynchers All Well Known," and in the body of the article, "Men well known in the community were in the mob. There was no attempt at concealment of features." We note that you have offered a reward of $500 for the apprehension of guilty persons. We earnestly urge that, in order that the State of Georgia vindicate the law and uphold its sovereignty, you also call upon the police authorities of Screven County, particularly the Sheriff, and use all the available police powers of the State at your command to secure the prompt arrest, prosecution and punishment of the murderers whose identity and connection with the crime are known. We urge this, irrespective of the guilt or innocence of the victim, which cannot now be determined by due process of law. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON. Secretary. National Association for the Advancement of Colored Claiming that Harry Lyons, 23, 100 West 141st street, had robbed him of $205, John Glasson, 239 West 113d street, caused the latter to be held in $1,000 bail in the Heights Court for a hearing. Glasson said that he had just drawn the money out of the bank to be sent home when Lyons approu- ched him and engaged him in conversation. After they had gone a few blocks he said that Lyons thrust his hand into his pocket, seized the roll and ran. A few days later he saw him walking on Lenox avenue and pointed him out to Detective William Ardiff. William Randolph, 24, 86 West 134th street; barber, was sent to the penitentiary after being found guilty in Special sessions of have- ing cocaine. Randolph was arrest- ed on Feb. 14 by Detective Buck- ley, of the Narcotic Squad. "We submit this matter as sustaining the correctness of the statement made by you in your first message to Congress, that the Congress ought to exercise all its powers of prevention and punishment against the hideous crime of lynching." "May we, in offering this new example of most hostility which disgraces and humiliates America before the civilized world, respectfully and earnestly request you to urge upon the incoming Congress the necessity for enactment of an adequate law making lynching a federal crime." NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1925 Attempting to pass a check for $26, Thomas Williams, 429 Washington avenue, Elizabeth, was arrested last night in the Master Clothing Shop, 85 Broad Street Newark, when the unusual sight of the check aroused the suspicion of a clerk. Taken to headquarters, the man was searched and found to have 21 similar checks of small amounts totalling $434. They were drawn on the First National Bank of Newark, which does not offer and signed by Leo Bernstein in the Buckingham Furniture Shop. Bernstein is the complainant on police books.

Watch for "The Mikado" FREE FOR 75 SUBSCRIPTIONS Basketball Players of Renaissance Big Five to Engage in Hard Test Saturday Meeting Strong Assumptions Saturday Night on Eve of Big Battles for Supremacy in Game in This Country When They Tackle Famous Kingston Team at Renaissance Casino in First Game the Coming Sunday Night. The Marlow Big Five meant nothing in the lives of the players of the Renaissance Big Five last Saturday night. The Douglas men are after bigger game and only teams boasting championship calibre can hope to even put up any kind of a game against the colored players this season. Before one of the best gatherings of the season the Big R men went out and practically walked over their opponents winning by a score of 77-39. Fully appreciating what they have set out to do commencing Sunday night when they face the famous Kingston team, the local players will trot out to face the Assumptions Saturday night. The Assumptions need no introduction to the colored people of Harlem. They are aware of the ability of this white team and will readily remember that the Saturday night game will be the fourth game of the series between the Renalance boys and the players of the Assumption team. The first game ended in a tie; the second game was won by the Renaissance Big Five while the third game was taken by the Assumptions. The deciding game Saturday night will most likely be played before one of the biggest basketball crowds yet out to witness a contest among colored people in any part of the country this season. Followers of the game will be given an opportunity to get a good line on our guys Saturday night—a line which will at least give an inking of what to expect when they go against the team that stands as the only one in this section of the country disputing the supremacy of the Original Celtics which comes to the bat the following Sunday night. The Douglas men have not lost a game on the home court during the entire season. They have won some of the best teams in Greater New York on the home court and so far none of them seem to be able to get their measure here. Of all the teams with a splendid chance of winning from the colored boys the Kingstons are in an outstanding position and for the first time since we have been recording the activities of the world's colored champion basketball outfit we are warning the fans that they had better turn out early as these white players will make the best charge towards wrestling victory from the Renaissance team. Although they have never sold reserved seats at the casino for the Saturday night games, scores have been trying to secure special reservations for the special Sunday night contests. This indicates a monster crowd and hundreds will be turned away unless they can get to their points of vantage early on Sunday night. The clash of three of America's leading teams here brings to mind a challenge which appeared in the Pittsburgh Courier two issues ago. Some unknown writing under the name of Expert issued a challenge in behalf of the Loendi team of Pittsburgh, Pa., and hastily stated that the challenge would stand for one week only. The writer intimated that Pittsburgh held the world's championship, but unlike in the case of all champions, he decided it would not do to risk getting Posey on the court with his frayed outfit against the real champions of the world and made his challenge for one week only. We are glad to see that even Pittsburgh are of the opinion that we here are nursing the real champions as challenges are not going out from New York, but coming in. The challengers will all get a hearing by writing to Bob Douglas or to the sporting department of the Amsterdam News. As claimants of the title we here in the big city are meeting and defeating the best of them; also whipping the teams defeating the once famous Loendl. At a most enthusiastic meeting last Thursday evening, March 5th the following ladies met and formulated plans for the big affair of the Alpha Physical Culture Club to be held at Manhattan Casino, May 5th; Mrs. R. S. Wiltona, Miss Annetteette Jackson, Mrs. Browne M. Williams, Mrs. Sadie E. Stockton, Miss Elizabeth Davis, Mrs. E. T. Parks, Mrs. E. Elizzy, Mrs. J. C. Everson, Mrs. M. V. Riley and Mrs. A. C. Dunning. The meeting was held at the club rooms of the Alpha and under the able direction of Mrs. Edgar Parka, holding down the chair, and Mrs. Annetteette Jackson, secretary, the hotel meeting that they would make an intensive drive to make a single one of the biggest ever TIVA by the club. RENAISSANCE MEETING KINGSTONS SUNDAY Norfolk and Lawson at Commonwealth Club 'Santy Claus' Wins But the English Champion Was Good Enough to Hold Him 'Santy Claus' Wins But the English Champion Was Good Enough to Hold Him Risdon-Clitty Fight Ends in Draw Although Many Believed Risdon Entitled to Decision. The fans left the Commonwealth Sport Club last Saturday night voicing the opinion that Matchmaker Jess McMahon had dished up for their edification and approval one of the best cards seen at the old home of swat for a long time, and we agree with them. It was a big night. The attractions that drew the fine house which turned out were the Risdon-Clitty bout and the contest between the champion lightweight of South America and the champion lightweight at the present time representing Great Britain. Bobby Risdon and Al Clitty put up a sizzling twelve-round bout which was considered a draw by the judges—a decision which a number of fans felt out of place and which should have gone to Risdon. As we viewed the contest we think that Clitty did very well in the clinches, but when Risdon got started and made Al stand up, he gave the white boy a severe pasting. For six rounds we thought the bout pretty even, but we would have given Risdon three after the sixth stanza. Clitty two, and the last one even, which, upon addition, would have given Risdon the fight. The wise fighter in this day and time would do well to save a great finish for the final round. For this, regardless of his showing in the previous rounds, seems to battle hundreds of fans, and judges, being just as human as fans, become rattled, too. Our favorite, Stan'slaus Loayza, would have certainly left that ring with but a draw, did we have any say, for, while he showed up well, Ali Simons certainly put a stop to 'Stanty Claus'" sensational doings by holding him even during half the fight and in two rounds sending Santa back with well-placed blows. The South American when stung lights like a tiger but he fought to no avail last Saturday night, as Johnny Bull was well represented and surprised the fans by unco- vring such a fightor as Simmons, after the failure of Enclashmen in the other divisions. Both the two two fighters would draw just as well again and we hope to see Rielson and Clitty and Simmons and Loay- sa on the same card in the near future. Daisy Kid was introduced to the gathering by Peter Prunty and a collection ransom for him. The Kid, who had fought some of the greatest ring battles in his day is down and out, and the McMahons have done everything in their power for him. From the manner in which the fans responded, he must have picked up a tiny sum. THAT wonderful machine operated by the Hon. Edward H. Wright had more than enough gas to make the grade in the roses! Chicago aldermanic election NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1928 Colored K. O. King Heads Commonw't Card Sat. "Fighting Bob" and "The Keed" to Swap Punches—Hall and August in Semi-Final Setto. "Fighting" Bob Lawson, the colored knockout king, who looms up on the horizon as the find of the 1925 season, will make things warm for Kid Norfolk, the colored light-heavyweight champion, when they toe the mark in the twelve-round final at the Commonwealth Sporting Club, in Harlem, on Saturday night. Lawson is one of the hardest punchers in the country at his weight. His record thus far is fourteen straight knockouts, none of his opponents going more than a fewounds with him. He hits equally as well with his right and left, and usually when he lands it it curtains for his foe. Norfolk and Lawson already had one run-in, in which Fighting Bob won the decision after a contest that was bitterly waged from start to finish. The Kid wants to keep his crown intact, but hell have to go somewhere if he hopes to take the measure of his opponent. The fans expect to witness another smashing retio when Pete August, the crack warrior from Bridgeport, goes against Joe Hall the colored wizard of Buffalo, in the second twelve. These lightweight are known for their tireless work in the ring and their punching ability. The fans will also witness the professional debut of Joe Cammermer, former amateur welterweight champion, who is booked for a six-rounder with Buddy Wallace. The opening canto of four rounds will bring together Willie Duffy and Jyre Abrams. Past Experience at Harlem A. C., We Believe, Will Induce Lew to Give Coled Fighters a Chance Ring out the old: bring in the new. We have it on what we consider the best of authority that Lew Raymond is now the matchmaker at the Manhattan Sport Club, said club holding forth at the Manhattan Casino where Eddie Waldron told the world "have a drink," and felt that he had made a gesture which no king could surpass. Lew Raymond (in the days either before John the Barber or after) was in control of the then Harlem A. C. in the same building which is now the Commonwealth Sport Club. Lew at times made strenuous efforts to give the colored fighter a chance, but suddenly he disappeared and the story went the rounds that he was forced to withdraw because he insisted upon giving the sundown brother a little consideration. Whether the New York State Athletic Commission has the courage to live up to the defi sent to Jack Dempsey last week remains to be seen. Dempsey and his manager are the two "Artful African Dodgers" who have been ducking the issue with Harry Wills for a number of years, and at the present writing they are even now seeking ways and means by which they can get out of giving the colored gladiator his chance to fight for the world's heavyweight championship. We did not believe that story then, nor do we believe it now; but, be that as it may or may not, Lew is now in control at the Manhattan and, if for no other reason than his plea for fair play for Henry Shaw, a colored boxer he was supposed to be managing, we expect that Lew will now show us that he is fully aware that Harlem has shown remarkable growth where the colored people live, today boasting a population of 200,000, with our folks stretching out almost under the very gates of the Polo Grounds. The name Polk Grounds, as you no doubt fully know, should be synonymous with the name Manhattan Casino, for here it was in the days before Mr. Volstead "tapped up" that the thirsty canine greeted Biddle Waldron, and had their thirst quenched. You will also remember how, after you had ordered a drink and slipped lightly, the hand of a waiter would stretch forth and, before you knew what was happening, the glass, half full, would be smatched away.

New York State Athletic Commission With New Chairman Takes the Initiative by Ousting Brower and Placing Man in Chair With Courage Not Exhibited by Muldoon and Cohorts Who Are as Much to Blame. The Commissioners of the Eastern Colored League turned out en masse to a meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Building, 1734 Christian street. One of the express purposes for the assembly was to complete the schedule for the coming season. However, the corpulent Colonel Strothers of Harrisburg held up the works for awhile and will retard a little the completion of the official layout. The fact is that Colonel's Giants share with the N. Y.-Penna. Harrisburg League team the baseball prestige of the poppamace of vanilla's capital city. The schedule for the N. Y.-Penna circuit has not yet been arranged. Rather than vie with the town folks the "Colonel" requested a little time to co-operate with the other Leaguers in arranging non-conflicting dates. Jim Keenan's Lincoln Giants, pride of the Bronx, will disport their wares away from Gotham as the home club the coming season. This doesn't mean that the Lincoln's have the slightest intention of deserting the Protectory Oval, the regular Sunday combats will be in order as in days of yore, but to prevent his athletes from becoming stale. Genial Jim has stepped out and leased the Chester, Pa., ball park and will entertain the league teams on Tuesdays and Fridays during the coming season. With this park in line it is possible for the club to negotiate the one end of the circuit in the following manner: Starting at Baltimore, which is an established Sabbath Day proposition, the clubs will then go to Wilmington Monday, Geo. Robinson of the Potomacs will play at the Blue Hen town on Mondays and Wednesdays, the intervening Tuesday will be put in with the Lincoln's at Chester, then the established Thursday and Saturday at Hildale Park will permit the sandwiching of the Friday date at Chester. Wilmington and Chester parks will adhere to the twilight hall that is already popular with the local fans. Ere the idees of March roll around, Alex Pompex, suave mentor of the Cuban entry in the Eastern outfit, has planned to board a rattler for the "Keys" of Florida and thence by bark to his native Queen of the Antilles in search of new talent to bolster up the invading Stars. Alex's problem is no small one, due to the fact that only a limited number of efficient pastimers are turned out on these verdant lares and the group that he brings up in the Spring invariably must go through the season and the invading manager fully refuses to use any of the boys who are natives of the "States." Not only does Manager Pompies intend to visit well known Cubs, but Porto Rico, San Domingo and even the small elevated plots of St. Kitts and St. Thomas may be combed by Senior Alex in quest of "apple busters."

Editor's Note—Through the courtesy of the New Bedford Times the Amsterdam News, beginning today, offers its readers the story of the life of and battling career of Chick Buggs. It will be run exclusively in installments in this paper. Buggs is without doubt the most prominent contender for the world's bantamweight title, now held by Eddie (Cannonball) Martin, and he is a product of New Bedford, Mass. Since Tex Rickard, New York's famous boxing impresario, created the latest favorite indoor sports of selecting the world's leading boxers in the numerous pugilistic divisions, discussion of logical contenders for the championships of the various weight classes has become widespread. Interest in this particular has largely centered itself in the bantamweight class due, first, to the mediocre showing made by Eddie "Cannonball" Martin, the newly crowned champion, in his only two starts since acquiring the title; second, because of the fact that New Bedford numbers among its citizens the boy who, in the opinion of a large number of competent and unbiased authorities, stands the best chance of usurping "Cannonball" throne. 1.

The doorplate reads "Edward Murry Suggs." Yes, the same smiling, sensational little dusky ring demon we know as "Chick" Suggs, undisputed holder of the New England bantam and featherweight championships. Shooting for bigger game now, "Chick" stands in the forefront of the ranks of those who are clamoring (or an opportunity to match their speed of foot, arm and brain with that of the present holder of the 118-pound title. While others are employing more blatant and naturally more conspicuous means of furthering their clams. Suggs efforts to assure himself of a crack at Mr. Martin's crown are typical of the boy himself. No widespread publicity backed by records of questionable authenticity is ballyhooing New Bedford's hope into a little match. That sort of thing grates on "Chucks" sensitive and rubs against his most graust. Would Fight To Tear. In the same quiet, unobtrusive way he goes about his business, "Chick" is sawing the wood in his championship log hegst. "The only real way to impress the public with the sincerity and justice of your claims for a title match with the champion is to fight your way to the top." Suggs said in one of his rare, talkative moods. "If you first knock off all the other fellows who think they ought to meet the champion, then there isn't any answer. Then there isn't a match—that is, of course, unless he wants the public to know he is afraid of you." And "Chick" wasn't converting through his hat then either. A glance at his record is proof enough of that. What other bandweight can boost an unbroken string of 41 victories covering no longer a period than 28 months? Who else among the so-called "logical contenders" for Martin's toga can point with pardonable pride at a record for 1924 that contains 24 victories, last one of them victory for the 1924 Who else is there who could step out and win three hard fights in five days without slowing down somewhere on the long haul? Suga la Modest. Yet Sugas has accomplished all these things. Unless you have followed his activities closely or are intimately associated with him you wouldn't be aware of all these things. He's the last person in the world to go around tooting his own horn. One thing "Chick" did appear tickled about, when The Times man talked to him, was his stunt of hopping from New York to Man- LIFE OF GREATEST BANTAM STARTS TO-DAY Seek Baseball Talent in "Islands of the Sea" chester. N. H. and then to Newport. R. I. in the time limited by one Saturday night to the following Thursday and whipping Joe Rvider. Johnny Harko and Tommy Murray in that order. You could hardly blame him for flashing his broad, ivory illuminated grin over that. Could you? On the face of it perhaps that doesn't seem like a particularly great performance, but when one gets down to brass tacks and a little close analytical work it looms up as a feat certainly worthy of a real champion. Joe Ryder is rated around New York as one of the toughest eggs there is to crack on the big time. Yet "Chick" took him as Grant took Richmond, boarded a train and made off for Manchester, N. H., to meet Harko. The latter had been one of "Chick"'s rivals for the New England bantam crown and a persistent challenger for it. "The best way to shut one of those boys up," Suzuka said with that infections grim of his, "to give him his chance—and then best him." "The best way" was New Bedford's hope for world bantam he did. He handed Harko the worst 10-round trimming the fair minded boxing folk of Manchester had over seen their favorite take and at the close of the mill they were yelling their heads off for the popular little New Bedford ind. After the Manchester date "Chick" enjoyed a couple of day's rest, then went over to battle Tommy Murray, of Philadelphia at Newport. R. I. Murray was fresh from a Quaker Town battle with Martin, the latter's first scrap after taking the bantam diadem from Abe Goldstein. Murray gave Martin such a scrap that the judges disagreed. The referee gave the decision to the champion and the crowd hooted the arbiter from the ring. Jeers and hisses greeted the announcement that Martin had caught the champion and received a belated Christmas gift. That same Tommy Murray came to Newport and was absolutely outclassed by Sugga. Let's have one of the Newport newspapers tell the story for us of that boat; "Murray was on the receiving end of a fancy drubbing for eight of the 10 rounds. The colored fissh electrified the fans with a determined bid for a knockout in the fifth round, but the bell ended a hectic three minutes." Just one more argument why Buggs should have had a crack at Martin before Murray or any of the others. And by the same token, perhaps, just another reason why Martin will probably avoid New Bedford's star as long as he possibly can. (To be continued next week.) Had a glimpse of Dr. Arthur Smythe as he rushed away from the Renaissance Casino last Saturday night to make connections for Orange, N. J. The good New Jersey doctor is looking the picture of health and just as full of life as he ever was. We were real glad to see him, for he is one of the few who went far down into his pockets and supplied cash to help many teams simply because of his love of basketball. And it is most fitting that he should land his presence to one of the organizations that is responsible for keeping the game to the fore here today. "Doc" has pulled nicely with Douglas for the past ten years or more, and whenever you hear that the Renaissance Big Five plan an invasion of New Jersey, you can can bet that last doughnut that Dr. Arthur E. Smythe is somewhere in the offing. Within the next week or so we will pay an official visit to Brooklyn to sit in with the boys of the Superior Athletic Club. The youngsters are coming to the fore with a rush and planning big things, and we are proud they do us the honor of asking us to be with them. We shall throw what little experience we have to them, and upon our return to the big city will tell the world of the big things these youngsters are about to do to entertain the folks in the near future. Page Allie Wilson! Speaking of Brooklyn reminds us that we stopped at that old landmark maintained by Cass Auter at 772 Fulton street, and had the pleasure of again being given the razz by the Barber Shop Trie. When it comes to singing you ought to hear this bunch render that famous little ditty entitled "Sam and the Barber Shop Cord." Did we not have to go to Brooklyn on special business we would get a little personal, but all we can say at this time is that Sidney Miller continues to give all hands the dozens, ally aided and abetted by "Fat" Landin, the Blink Bradley of Asbury Park. At 772 Fulton street they will place anybody on the pan. Sometimes they wave the magic wand and E. C. Palmer comes down from his abode higher up on Fulton street to let the boys share in his wisdom. What it takes to quote Socrates and the other dead ones, E. C. Just listen it, and he can with rars aplomb go from the enclaves right up to the days of Marcus Garvey. They say that to Palmer's visits can be traced the inclination of "Fat" Landin to grow fatter. Palmer's witticisms make Vincenzo Astor Landin, as they call "Fat" because of his wealth, rear with laughter, and even Brownie, who will call "Sam" on Cause himself when he's feeling good, seems to be taking on weight. Since coming from Duffield street to Fulton, Sidney Miller has also taken on weight and a verboten that is painful to the untrained ear at times. Ah, laugh that one off, you Hawaiian! In recognition of the opening of the new office of the Amsterdam News at 60 Hanson place, Brooklyn, we will devote a few more lines to the City of Churcha. We note that the Putnam Theatre, new called the Suprame, will again open under colored management. We do not mean to be funny but cannot keep from remarking that this theatre seemed to have had an unusually hard road to travel, and while it has been buried from time to time in the graveyard of innumerable the new manager is Mr. Howard Scott, one of Brooklyn's most successful undertakers. It will take a great deal to induce great enthusiasm of the kind class to turn up in front, because the stage is so large that we that he, whatever it will take to bring them, will and will win him success. The young man of the neighborhood Riaked on the lack of guichirude of the females grazing the stage of the Suprame in the past, and a glance at the lobby display for the opening this week carries no assurance of any improvement along this line, but even Mr. Scott will agree that while there's life there's hope, and in the long run he'll nail us yet. Charlie McGill, not to be outside by Wilfred the Bain, sharpened his favorite pencil last week and went after Nat C. Strong, Bain Keenan and the entire Eastern Baseball League. Charlies plaint is that the baseball mogul while enjoying codies or space hand out very little kale and consideration in this part of the country to the sundown newspapers. You are right, Brother Charlie. That little sop which they throw us in the early spring and summer is a joke compared to what the Westerners receive, but Nat Strong never could see the efficiency of his advertising. Nat can make you think it is one of those regular theatre or basketball "edd" we expect as a matter of course. Jimmy Keenan would do better if they're let him, but all those boys enjoy the rare indoor sport of passing the buck, and Willie Clarke, press agent extraordinary, acquired some of the traits of this bunch as shown by the silence he can attach to a news article which he smothers in the Age and leaves us all high and dry. Have you fellows got nerve enough to snap your fingers at the little "ed" and institute a campaign for the recognition which should be ours in the Empire State? If basketball and other forms of athletic endeavor in this neck o' the woods can contribute towards the utilization of perfectly good space, why not baseball where the "gate" is much larger and from where they draw larger benefits? A meeting of the New York sport writers is in order for next week and the boys will be notified. Ira F. Lewis, writing in the Pittsburgh Courier last week, charged "Cum" Posey with being responsible for the downfall of basketball in Pittsburgh. We have been telling the Pittsburghians this for ages and pointing out the menace Posey has been to the game. One of the best players ever produced in Negro basketball, Posey had lentings and tendencies which would break up any kind of a game. We stumped him here in the big city and when he thought he was still going big and we had lost the power which sent Bill Madden to pine on the dung heap of St. Helena, he made an attempt toase by with a big game right under our nose. Well, all, when we get through with him the people putting up the money for the game were sadder but wiser men. Proof positive that we could get along without Posey is shown by the success of the Renaissance Big Five. Basketball has been played before more people at the Renaissance Casino in one month than the entire season in Pittsburgh. Posey and his exhilirant demands to the McMahons for a game with his charges did not help any and few there are who are sorry that he is practically out of the running as a drawing card. The name of "Cum" Posey today isn't worth one-third that of Harold Meyers. The youngest star and the oldest star, with the youngest enjoying more recognition than the ones world famous Cumberland. Van, we will walk "down memory lane" and recall the gunman heavily armed grabbing the watch at Manhattan Casino and throwing a perfectly good basketball game into a near riot. Henderson to Introduce New Orchestra at Man. At the New Manhattan Caino on March 37, at which time the Women's Auxiliary to the N. A. A. P. will give its Third Annual Spring Dance. Fletcher Henderson will introduce his new Rainbow Orchestra to the lovers of jazz music. This new unit will bid for popular favor against Mr. Henderson's Original Robbie and Orchestra, which will play the latter half of the program. The public is invited to come early to enjoy every minute of this program which will be one of dancing from nine until three. The Women's Auxiliary wishes to inform its friends that the Madam C. J.

New England Champion, Who Has Not Lost a Battle in Two Years and Whose Career Is Being Told in The Amsterdam News Commencing Today. Evansville Jack Ray Lodges Protest and Should Be Heard His Claims Are Supported by George Underwood in the Telegram of Saturday and We Crave a Chance for Him. In trying to be fair to all sides we believe that when the other side of a story is told to a writer he should hasten to give the under dog his chance, and we are doing so in the case of Evanville Jack Ray in these few lines. 1 Some few months ago this colored fighter came to town with the avowed purpose of meeting Larry Estridge, but was induced to go against Lou Bogash after but three or four days of preparation for his fight. Clean cut, upstanding and apparently an unusually intelligent youngster, Jack gladly admits that he made a mighty poor showing against Bogash, but claims in extenuation his lack of training, being unknown, being outweighed to an alarming extent by Bogash and a few other things which gives him a right to another chance. Bay claims that he weighed 149 pounds, as against 169 or 170 by Bogash. The other day George Underwood, writing in the New York Telegram-Mail, asserted that giving away ten pounds to aighter is no ice cream, and a man would be a foot, unless he is in every way superior, to go out and slug with such an opponent. Ray, no doubt, sensed this when he went against Bogash, and he did a Penny Nural that brought down double on his head. Grim the face. With an corrosions that cannot be mistaken, Ray rikings that, in spite of that bad showing, he is prepared to go in against Larry Bittidge and prove to the world that the reputation he holds in the West and the South would be upheld. A chance is all that a man can ask. We have seen Saffire receiving a good break at the start and falling to make good, although turned along. A one in point is that of Johnny Gardner. And Gardner made the sad showing he did against Johnny Reisler and another fighter, he never would have received the opportunity to show his wares against those fighters he at first knocked out in impressive style. Jack Ray shows his intelligence by not depending upon the fight game for a livelihood. Coming here a stranger and getting off to a bad start, he did not hang around the clubs bewailing his fate and crying into high heaven for a chance against the man who showed him up. He has settled down in Brooklyn, and ever since he was living in the City of Churches he has been industrious, with a front that would be a great asset to a number of fighters claiming to be among the leaders. As a musician, he is seldom out of work. He would like to take away the bad impression fans harbor about him. If given a chance and he falls, well and good. If given a chance and he makes good, he will be a card in any club, as he has the "ring color" lacked by fighters with a reputation that far from measures up to the one he holds. His mode of living is a credit to him and the race to which he belongs. If we cannot go to the fore in behalf of such as he the least we can do is to keep still about those less deserving. Give Evansville Jack Ray his chance. Hasty Search for Valuables Being Made in Cars Left on Street by Patrons of Cabaret and Others. Ever since the opening of Connie's Inn at 131st street and Seventh avenue, a number of cars are parked on Seventh avenue in front of the Lafayette Theatre, extending to 132d street and sometimes around the corner into the same street, reaching down to the side entrance of the theatre, where scenery is handled in and out of the house. Once Hundred and Thirty-second street, reaching as far and half the time beyond the stage entrance of the Lafayette Theatre, parked on both sides and it is on the side that thieves are now plying their trade by watching the arrival of the disappearance of the owners in the cabaret, the theatre, or the restaurant, hastily frisk the cars in search of valuables. A doorman and a carriage man employed by the Inn people are usually busy at the Seventh avenue entrance of the place, and while the carriage man gives his attention to the 131st street cars, there are times when he is kept no bury that it is hard for him to remain on the side street. It is at these intervals that the thives hastily open cars doors and examine the pocket for valuables. The majority of cars are adorned but many of the doors are left unchecked and it is an easy matter for these night prowls to instill their search before they can be disturbed. The writer hit his machine on 131st street for a few moments one night last week and open the return found paper, taken from one of the podiums, shown on the fear of the car. A busy examination showed that every pocket had been entered and the contents carefully thrown about by one of the miscreants infecting the neighborhood. United Sons of Ga. In Spring Dance at New Star Casino, March 26th Third Annual Spring Reception Promises to Be One of the Season's Outstanding Affairs Here Word coming from the reception committee of the United Sons of Georgia, Inc., prompts us to broadcast the information that lovers of the best in the dance world need to paste a red mark on March 20th on the calendar as it is the time set aside for the third annual spring dance and reception of the popular Sons who have functioned to the satisfaction of thousands during the time the organization has been in existence. They plan to make this the outstanding affair of its kind of the season, and looking back to what they accomplished in the past it is easy to accept their promise of bigger and better things for the enormous crowd that will turn out to spend an evening of mirth, music, laughter and dancing with them. John C. Smith will move his Modern Orchestra down to the New Star Casino for the night, and Fred Weaver, who has gained a reputation for putting over the popular numbers while the dancers are whirling to the enticing strains from string and brass instruments, will be on the job again. The mirror-ball with its variegated lights, added to the many Watch for "The Mikado" electrical displays and other novelties, will add to the beauty of the casino which will be tastefully decorated for the occasion. The entertainment committee which is headed by William D. Heard, has gone to a great deal of expense in arranging to give joyseekers a real "night of lights," and something to be remembered for all along time after early dawn brings a most pleasant night to a close on the 26th. As an indication of the popularity of the United Sons of Georgia all the boxes were sold shortly after the first announcement of the coming affair, and at this time there are only a few logs left and prospective patrons of the big dance would do well to secure theory soon or get left. Anderson Entertains Fine Gathering Saturday Night A fine gathering turned out to the Saturday night assembly of Professor Anderson at the Elks Auditorium last Saturday evening. If we are to judge by the number present last week and the enjoyment "had by all," we can then come to the conclusion that Charlie Anderson's class is showing growth already, and before the end of the season will draw larger crowds. The coming Saturday night has been set aside as "Reception Night," at which time acts of high class entertainers will appear. The professor will also introduce another ballroom dance called "The Walts Masurka." Watch for "The Mikado' We Are Having a BIG REDUCTION SALE On Men's Suits, Overcoats, and Boys' Clothing Go to Greene's Clothing Store 2459 EIGHTH AVE.

During the past few years many things have mitigated against the successful operation of the Lafayette Theatre. In the running of the house there have been times when the stories floating up Seventh avenue have tended to make the average colored theatregoer shrug his shoulder and pass on down to the houses on 125th street and other places, many of these same houses receiving colored patronage in a luke-warm manner, but at the same time holding the trade of colored Harlem. Much has been said by certain individuals against Robert Levy, who operated this theatre in the early days of the drama, but many will admit that Mr. Levy maintained an atmosphere at the Lafayette that brought out in large numbers the colored people of the community and success crowned the efforts of the Quality Amusement Corporation under this man for a long time. Then came unaccountable changes, for which none could give a decided opinion one way or the other, and when the Brown and Stevens people took over the house they faced the task of trying to run it on the basis maintained by the Quality. This they succeeded in doing for quite some time, but the house never fully regained the prestige it enjoyed when the drama was a novelty and when some of the best plays and most popular colored artists trod the boards. There undeniable things connected with the colored people of Greater New York. There are many of our friends who boast of knowing our own people, but we want to say in the most friendly spirit that there are thousands of colored people here, and one must not judge by a certain few. There are thousands yet to be reached who we believe would gladly come out again and throw their aid towards the support of the Lafayette, but new methods Mr. Shapiro, who took over the running of the house after the departure of the Coleman brothers, comes closer to the Levy standard than any of his predecessors, and, having had an opportunity of daily discussing his hopes and aspirations with this man, we feel that he is worthy of any support the better class of our people can give. At an enormous outlay he brought some of the old-timers who had already won name and fame in the theatrical world long before the prosperity which came with Brande Along," among them being J. Roamond Johnson. With Frank Montgomery, Mr. Johnson has tried his utmost to do things that would bring back the colored people, and at present he is, under many difficulties, again leading the music of "International Felides" the show being presented this week and which will be held over for the following week. To attempt to deny the hard task which confronted Mr. Johnson and his co-workers would be an insult to the intelligent few who witnessed the production at this writing, but, believing in the ultimate success of something that will take the fancy of all, we say "give them a chance to round out" and we will all be the better for it. From now on it will be the policy of Mr. Shapiro to bring to the LaFayette Theatre the successes to be obtained from Broadway—successes which will include musical comedy, comic opera and possibly the drama. To this end we note that Gilbert and Sullivan's famous comic opera entitled "The Mikado" will make its bow for the first time in the LaFayette for the week of March 23rd. We believe if an intensive campaign is made to reach the better class of colored people like Robert Levy did before he even attempted to put on a show, a new era will dawn for the Lafayette. We believe that there are successful dramatic offerings which can be brought in between the musical and comic opera shows that will meet with the approval of the best element in the community, but this element must be reached weeks in advance and a direct appeal made to support those things which will hold their fancy once these same people turn out in large numbers. We speak with the authority which comes of a mighty close association with Mr. Levy from the first day he took charge of the Lafayette, an association which we believe had a great deal to do with our being carried over with the Quality Amusement Corporation in a certain position when the Brown and Stevens interests took charge of the house. We think we can say without fear of intelligent contradiction that the little touch of the drama brought by the sketch in which Alonzo Henderson and Abbie Mitchell appeared on Monday night had much to do with holding the interest of the people in the house, for while the "Pollion" might have carried all the things supposedly necessary to appeal to our colored To say change every week sounds great, but when facing the feet of it and after exceedingly short rehearsals even the most anguine will admit after a performance which runs past the midnight hour it is time to take stock and seriously approach the matter. Stream angles long discarded by who failed to appreciate cor tain undeniable things connected with the colored people of Greater New York. There are many of our friends who boast of knowing our own people, but we want to say in the most friendly spirit that there are thousands of colored people here, and one must not judge by a certain few. There are thousands yet to be reached who we believe would gladly come out again and throw their aid towards the support of the Lafayette, but new methods must be brought into play, and since one side has had an opportunity to try out their ideas it is time to give the other side a try. Let Mr. Shapiro and those of us desirous of seeing the Lafayette happily catering to the throngs of the old days get right down to work and inaugurate the new era which will make the house the place carrying an appeal to all hands. Hope Day Nursery "Follies of 1925" The momentous task of naming the 1925 entertainment of Hope Day Nursery has been accomplished and this year's offering will be called "Hope Day Follies of 1925." The program will be in charge of the Girls' Theatrical Club. Miss Thelma Whittaker, president. For the past three years these clever young ladies have furnished the programs for Hope Day Nursery and they have been thoroughly enjoyed by huge audiences. The features for Friday, May 1, at the New Star Casino are more original than ever and are expected to include numbers which would do credit to the most successful of the Broadway revues. Mrs. William A. Gardeen is chairman of the May entertainment committee of Hope Day Nursery. Patrons are advised to make their reservations for boxes and tickets early, as some of the boxes have already been engaged. "INTERNATIONAL FOLLIES" AT LAFAYETTE United Sons of Georgia at New Star Casino NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1925 Aggravatin' Papa BESS; SINCE THE CROSS WORD PUZZLES HAVE MADE YOU SO STUDIOUS—I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION JUST ONE MINUTE, BESS—WHERE IS THE SUREST PLACE TO LOOK FOR PLEASURE AND HAPPINESS? PAPA, I DON'T KNOW!! IN THE DICTIONARY OF COURSE!! New York News Joins Fight Vs. Theatre Owners --- Louis Sovina's Sympathetic Attitude in Community Recalled by Lack of Interest Shown by Broecker People. A writer on the New York News last week joined a fight we have maintained from time to time in pointing out to the colored people in the community the lack of interest on the part of certain theatre owners here who have refused for years to as much as do their patrons the courtesy of telling of their offerings through the columns of some of the colored papers. Mr. Leo Broecker, with offices in the Plaza Theatre Building, one of the theatres he controls, which also includes the Odeon on 145th street; the Roosevelt, corner 7th avenue and 145th street; the Douglas, 1143d street and Lenox avenue, and the Apollo on 125th street, when he first took charge of the Roosevelt and Douglas, led the writer to believe that he came here not only to do business among the colored people with an open heart, but also to do anything within his power to advance their interests. From time to time advertisements were carried in some of the colored papers of the pictures to entertain patrons, but as far as we can remember no colored newspaper has as yet carried an advertisement of the Odeon, and for quite some time none of the Brocker theatres, with Manager Schlipman in complete control of this end of the Brocker activities carried any announcements of their shows in the papers. Of course, this is to our people a distinct departure from what has been an accepted fact for more than fifteen years. Until the coming of the Roach people, with their Renalisation Theatre, every house in Harlem catering to colored patrons has seen fit to not only attempt to reach the colored people through the channels of a Negro newspaper, but because they seemed to have a sympathetic, leaning towards the struggles for the advancement of the race, and realizing that the newspaper sought to carry education into the homes, they readily did what they could to help the cause of the struggling papers. Yours ago Negre, you were up trying to induce the managers of the Renaissance Theatre to at least let their many patrons know something out of the ordinary in pictures through their newspapers. We personally had the promise of more than one person connected with the Renaissance that, after they met with success, they would advertise. We assume that these people are still seeking success and are not able as yet to advertise their theatre in the columns of the colored newspapers The fact that most people would assume that people in business advertise to reach success, makes no difference in the opposite view held by Mr. Charity and others, as outlined to us a few years ago. Louis Sortina, who opened the old Douglas, advertised and made a success of it, and built the large, barn-like Douglas which now traces the same sight on Lenox avenue. Louise at least believed in the gospel of advertising and, when he built the other structure, referred to as another barn by the Sewa last week, he increased his advertising activities, and for quite some time both his theatres showed musical activity by the number of people visiting them to witness some of the best pictures. We will admit that Lou-wie seemed to have something in common with the builders of the Commonwealth Casino, which was to trace the place of Eddie Waldron's Manhattan Casino, but which turned out to be a small place, fit only for the uneducated. A sight they saw there was a building but leave an unspecified organization is desirous of working with us while getting our money is to do things to reach the thousands through the columns of our pa- pers. We do not advance this idea with the hope of securing advertisements, but because of the decided change in these things, deep to the growth of the community and the colored weeklies. Chesnut's Famous Story at the Franklin Theatre "House Behind the Cedara," With Andrew Bishop, Lawrence Chenault and Fine Cast. Although he has been giving his patrons a big run for their money during the years he has been operating the Franklin Theatre, Manager P. Sextert never hesitates to go out of his way to secure a good colored picture whenever it is possible, and even at an increased expense he has always been among the first to show such pictures. Commencing Sunday and running until Wednesday, Chesnut's famous story, entitled "The House Behind the Codars," which was immed by Oscar Micheaux, will be offered patrons of the Franklin. Andrew Hickop and Lawrence Chessmalt are heading an all-star cast and, from reports coming in from the various cities where the film has been shown, these former favorites of the Lasafyette Stock Company never appeared to better Colleen Moore at the Lincoln Theatre Watch for "The Mikado"Watch for "The Mikado' Even exacting picture fans will find in this story something to keep them interested from the start. for the successful "passing" of a colored person for white holds an irresistible fascination and, even though in many cases a most unwelcome climax in the result, colored prejudice as it exists in America will always draw the attention of both sides to a story of this kind.

Colleen Moore has been called the "living library" of Hollywood, because she has produced screen versions of so many popular novels. Her latest picture, "So Big," is an adaptation from Eda Ferber's "best seller," to be shown at the Lincoln Theatre next Thursday. Prior to this, she produced "Flaming Youth," "The Sky Pilot," "The Lotus Eater," "The Huntress" and numerous others. In "So Big" Miss Moore is declared to have done her best screen work. The story, based on life in the old Dutch settlement near Chicago in the latter part of the past century, gets her away from the frivolous flapper, roles with which she has been associated. It presents her as the wife of a stolid Dutch farmer, tolling amidst the cabbages and radishes of a truck garden. A baby son is all that makes her life worth while and, as she tells, she visualizes the time when he will become "to-o-o b'g" in this world of affairs. SOCIETY NEWS Mr. Cinerea H.

Rockefeller, Jr. Brings Total to Within $1,500,000 of Mark Doner Issues Statement A gift of $1,000,000 to the cases of education at Tuskegee Institute and Hampton Institute by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was announced Saturday night by Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, chairman of the special gifts committee of the institute's Endowment Fund campaign. The gift put the $6,000,000 campaign at the $3,500,000 mark and was made without conditions. In announcing the gift, Stokes said it brought the institute within striking distance of the $2,000,000 donation promised by George Eastman, the kodak manufacturer, last Fall, when he allotted $15,000,000 of his stock to various benefactions. The Eastman gift was contingent upon the Endowment Fund Committee achieving its goal. Inasmuch as I have been profoundly interested in these schools', said Mr. Rockefeller in forwarding his gift, 'ever since my father took me as a small boy to visit Hampton, when General Amstrong was its head; because I provide an education which boys and girls to be useful citizens, whether they go forward higher and professional educator or go directly into agriculture, industry or business; because they stress the development of character along with the development of mind and body, and because of my lifelong interest in the colored race. I shall count it a privilege to participate in the campaign to the extent of $1,000,000. "As I understand it, this leaves you still $1,500,000 short of your goal." Mr. Rockefeller's gift, coming from a Northerner, soon after a gift of $250,000 from a Southerner. THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News and of 925,000 from a Negro firm, shows a union of all those forces whose co-operation must be secured if the Negro is to be given an adequate opportunity in our country".

Vincent Address Meeting for Colored Officers Again States Original Intention at Time Bill Became Law—Liberty Hall Packed. The mass meeting held under the auspices of Equity Congress, at Liberty Hall, West 138th street, on March 4th, to promote the campaign for the officering of the Fifteenth Infantry, New York National Guard, by Negroes, from colonel down, was a pronounced success. The hall was filled to overflowing, over 4,500 citizens being present. The meeting was called to order by Speaker Charles H. Bailey, of Equity Congress, who stated the effort of the Congress and the purpose of the meeting. Speaker Bailey then introduced the master of ceremonies for the evening, Rev. Dr. J. W. White. After the invocation the meeting was inspired to a high pitch of enthusiasm by the playing of the "Star Spangled Banner." Mrs. Jeannette Halley then followed with a highly educational and delightfully rendered poem, tracing the history of the Negro as a fighting man and a patriot from the time of Crispus Attucks to the World War. There was never a dull moment in the soul-firing recital, and Mrs. Halley was given an ovation when she resumed her seat. The Rev. D. A. B. Vincent, of North Carolina, was then introduced, and delivered a most brilliant and enlightening address. Dr. Vincent, by the recital of facts and figures, proved in a most conclusive manner that the Negro has now reached the stage where he is competent to officer his own regiment, referring in support of this statement to the record of the 3rd North Carolina Infantry in the Spanish-American War and that of the present and always magnificent 8th Illinois. "It is amazing," he said, "that in the Empire State of the nation, the leader in finance, in industry and in interest in the welfare of its citizens, the colored race should be restricted to black men in the ranks of its one Negro military unit, but refused an entire officer personnel of the race." ored man, and selected as lieutenant-colonel a white officer of inferior rank. Mr. Suzler advised the colored people of the state to petition Governor Smith, through Equity Congress, the organization that is so thoroughly and efficiently pushing the campaign, to issue an order directing that the 15th infantry, New York National Guard, colonel down, and the antiseptic audience arose by one man to pledge itself to the support of such a petition. Martin J. Healy was then introduced and spoke frankly and freely on the movement and his desire to co-operate with Speaker Bailey and Equity Congress to the fullest possible extent. Mr. Healy produced a volume which he humorously termed his "little black book." This proved to be a veritable library of information on the subject in the form of clippings culled from leading newspapers of the state, both white and colored. He confirmed the statement of the Governor in a question about the original intent having been to provide the regiment with colored officers, and stated that, as leader of the 19th Assembly District, he was prepared to offer his full services to the organization; that he would himself take the matter up with the Governor when Equity Congress had worked out a tangible program, and requested the Equity Congress Military Committee to have its resolution in his hands by March 12th. The talk of Alderman Healy was full of wit and philosophy, and was convincing beyond a doubt that he was heartily in accord with the movement. The petition of the Governor for a supplement of all colored officers for the 15th Infantry was then read by Mr. Adam H. Sebrock of South Carolina. It was received with vociferous applause, and carried without a dissenting vote. Mr. Bailey announced that a further mass meeting will be held in two or three weeks, and that, in spite of opposition on the part of a few politicians, the right being waged by Balky Godineg's unquestionable majority of citizens, and also is favored by the entire Democratic and Republican organizations in Harlem.

The salary question in the business world today is operated on a percentage basis. There are some concerns that operate on higher percentages than others. This depends on the class of business. The up-to-date manager uses his weekly receipts as his basis of getting the percentage. For example, receipts for the week are in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars, then the average payroll would be 10 per cent of that, making the employees' payroll $100 per week. This percentum is the average that most firms operate on. The average wage earner does not look at the question of salary from the point of figures, but only that he should get more; whereas the employee looks at it from the per centum of the pay. If often you have, you have asked your employer for an increase in salary, been told that "If business gets better I will see what I can do for you." He knows in his heart that one or two more dollars to you might increase his percent allowance and he is using diplomacy in giving you an indirect answer. The payroll must be kept at the percent standard. If, for instance, a business is operating on the 10 per cent basis for salary, the personnel of the organization is four if they are unable to do the work, must be given at the same percent. The percent must be lived up to. A business cannot thrive if the payroll catches up all the percentage. In other words, the higher ups say, get more business and we will add another man but not until then. You may have observed in your daily travels in the various chain stores a sign which reads: "Employees of this concern share in the profits." This means they give them commissions on the net amount paid to them thus adding a basis for and indirect of telling the employees that he can earn so much more by hustling. Next week I shall write on the personnel of modern concerns. Library Notes The speakers for March before the North Harlem "Community Forum" are as follows: March 11.

M. Mrs. Valentine was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Buchanan and the wife of the late Mr. Hiram Valentine, Sr. Her charitable disposition. Christian endeavor and kindly manner won for her the love and respect of the community in which she lived. She was one of the most widely known and beloved women in the community. Her pioneer work for Christianity is far reaching and won for her a reverence that is indescribable. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for more than fifty years. She labored lovingly and faithfully in the discharge of every duty for the upbuilding of the Master's kingdom. She leaves to mourn their lost five sons, G. Bernard Valentine Harrisburg, Pa.; J. Robert, New York City; Hiram C. Washington, D. C.; Greener, Atlantic City, N. J., and Harry N.

Olive Cemetery, Gleedeville, to which she was borne by her five sorrowing sons and one grandson. She is not dead, but sleepeth. —(Advt) P George H. Henry, who was born in Clarksville, Tenn., in 1871, departed this life March 3 at 9:16 P. M. With his wife, relatives and a host of friends surrounding his bud, he quietly passed away, after assuring them of his firm trust in God. He leaves to mourn their loss in loving wife, two devoted daughters and a host of friends. He professed religion, joined Mother A. M. E. Zion Church. The body laid in state at his home, 263 West 134th street, almost entirely hidden by flowers, until Sunday at 12:30 after which it was escorted by a Masonic band, under the leadership of Chus. L. Thurpe, softly playing the most solemn of all dances, "Fice as a Bird." Then came the famous Clof Club, Inc., of which the deceased was a member, led by their most able and much-loved president, Samuel Partison. The procession moved northward on Seventh avenue to Rabain's Funeral Chapel, 160th street and Seventh avenue, where the Brown pastor of Mother Zion Church, presided a sermon sweet and low and equally impressive as the winds of the Western Sea. The Chief Club quartet, composed of Carl White, George Jackson, Walter Gray and Arthur Payne, then sang "Lead Kindly Light" in a manner highly artistic. A large body of Prince Hall Masons, of which the deceased was a member, under the leadership of their most worshipful master, D. L. M. Clark, took charge of the body, performing the Masonic rites, which closed the services. The funeral party then travelled northward to the end of the city to enter Woodlawn Cemetery, where the body was peacefully laid to rest. The widow uses this paper as a medium to thank every one for the interest and sympathy that has been shown her during her troubles. ```markdown ``` CHURCH BULLETIN BAPTIST MOUNT OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH 161 West 52nd St. between 6th and 8th Avenues Rev.

A Cullen presiding. Harlem 2nd S. D. A. Pastor Strachan spoke to a crowded house Sunday night at the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church, 166-168 West 12th street. As advertised, his subject was "The Ram, the He-Goat and the Little Horn," of Daniel, eighth chapter. The speaker began his discourse by saying: "The seventh and eighth chapters of Daniel are intended to expose the 'mystery of iniquity' and to put the Christian church on its guard against the 'all deceivableness of unrighteousness.'" Said the speaker further: "If God, humbling Himself to take the place of man in the world, is the 'mystery of Godiness,' then, reasoning correctly, any mortal man in the world, exalting himself to take the place of God, is most surely 'the mystery of iniquity'; and this is met in the philosophy of the papacy. The supreme effort of Satan to establish his rule in the earth was put forth in the days of the iron monarchy of Rome. With the most extensive sway, the most arbitrary authority, with a thoroughly idolatrous system, controlling every phase of human life, pagan Rome presented the most perfect picture of a government by the god of this world—Satan. "imperial Rome went down—fell; the plan of Satan came to caught. But the devil did not cause his efforts to bring the world under his rule. Having failed to successfully enthrone himself in a political empire maintained by force of arms, he set about to establish a seemingly spiritual rule where, in the person of a man, he would be accepted as God, or the ruler of Christ, bidding for the universal allegiance due alone to God and Christ; he evolved the papacy, the mystery of iniquity, the man of sin, papal Rome." Next Sunday night the speaker will deal with this same system under a new symbol of the supreme beast of Resolutions 12. Printed charts and stereoscopic pictures will illustrate the talk. BEFORE parking in Washington, the political lotus entails should who up on the meaning of the word economy. IN MEMORIAM DAVIS—In sad but leaving remembrance of my beloved sister, Emma A.

Child Bride Question Studied by Russell Sage Foundation Child Bride Question Studied by Russell Sage Foundation More than two-thirds of a million persons living in the United States today have been child brides who were less than sixteen years of age when they married, or have been married to boys under that age; the great majority of these—contrary to popular belief—are native white of native patronage. These are a few of the many startling facts revealed in an extended study of child marriages, a preliminary report on which was made public here by the Russell Sage Foundation. This situation is due in large measure to two causes, says the report: The fact that many states require no better evidence of age than the affinity of one of the candidates for a marriage license; and that the minimum marriable age is still only 12 years for girls and 14 years for boys in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Louisiana, Virginia, Florida, Maryland, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Colorado, Idaho, Maine and Mississippi. welfare agencies throughout the country. As an illustration of the public apathy in the matter, the section of the report made public today sites the fact that in 14 states it is legally possible for a girl to marry at an earlier age than that at which she is permitted to become a wage-earner. The marriable age of girls has remained an inactive issue in these states, says the report, while their educational and child The seriousness of the situation becomes even more impressive when it is known that the Foundation's report classes as child brides only those under 16 years of age; that it does not take into account the many marriages of children over 16, but under 15; and that the total of 667,000 child brides and husbands of child brides is increased each year by thousands of additional child marriages. Nor have the Foundation's investigators included in their estimates boys married at 17 or younger to girls or women older than 15, because the number of such marriages is relatively small. The investigators, working under the direction of Mary E. Richmond, nationally known authority on family welfare work, have visited 50 cities in 28 states; their field work was followed by exhaustive statistical studies, library research, and extended interviews and correspondence with representatives of social agencies, jurists, public officials, physiologists, and other authorities on the many phases of the problem. The study, which is still under way, covers not only the child marriage problem, but the whole subject of the administration of marriage laws. The sections of the report dealing with child marriages prepared by Miss Richmond with Fred S. Hall as collaborator, will be published within a few weeks and will immediately be brought to the attention of leagues of women voters, marriage law administrators, school authorities, state and local legislators, clergymen and social N. Y. Urban League Notes Andrew J. Allison, for two years Industrial Secretary of the New York Urban League, has resigned to accept work in Hartford, Conn. Mr. Allison becomes Executive Secretary of the Hartford Urban League. Hartford is one of the most important industrial centers for Negroes in the East. Its Negro population has greatly increased during the past few years with new comers from the South. A branch of the Urban League has been formed there to cooperate with some of the many problems of health, housing, and employment that are constantly arising. Mr. Allison's work will be a part of the Hartford Community Chest and has the endorsement of all welfare agencies of Hartford. The Urban League's Women's Auxiliary meets every first Tuesday evening in the month. The Committee has adopted resolutions urging the City to take over control and supervision of Lincoln Hospital.

As an illustration of the public apathy in the matter, the section of the report made public today cites the fact that in 11 states it is legally possible for a girl to marry at an earlier age than that at which she is permitted to become a wage earner. The marriageable age of girls has remained an inactive issue in these states, says the report, while their educational and child welfare agencies have kept the age of leaving school and of entering industry a burning one. "This century has often been misnamed 'the century of the child,' says the report. 'In sober truth, with a quarter of the full term behind us, it must be acknowledged that the twentieth century is no such thing; certainly not when conditions in a country as intelligent as the United States still make possible the marriage of children. Such conditions constitute only a small part of the body of evidence against exaggerated claims of advance in the matter of child welfare, but they are a part which has not yet been developed in any detail. In the matter of child marriages no group in any section of the United States has yet given serious attention to the social effect of existing laws and to their necessary daily adaptation in the license offices." "It should be noted," says the introduction to the report, "that these facts concern the general public also, and parents more than any other one section of the public." LA. SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS SEGREGATION NEW ORLEANS, March 9 - The Supreme Court of Louisiana approved the Segregation Ordinance passed by the City Council which prohibits Negroes from establishing residence in white neighborhoods and whites from living in Negro neighborhoods.

Fiery, Itchy Skin Quickly Soothed With Sulphur Mentha-Sulphur. a pleasant cream, will smooth and heal skin that is irritated or broken out with eczema; that is covered with urtic rash or pimple, or is rough or dry. Nothing sublines fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a noted skin specialist. The moment this sulphur preparation is applied the itching stops and after two or three applications the eczema is gone and the skin is delightfully clear and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as a skin remedy, because it destroys the parasites that cause the burning, itching or disfigurement. Mentha Sulphur always heals eczema right up. A small jar of Mentha Sulphur may be had at any good drug store. HALL TO LET 270 W. 136th St. For Meetings and Lodges MRS. J. KELLY Washiagtos, D.C.

Rogers, well known author, against color discrimination at Hurtig and Seamon's Theatre on West 125th street, has brought many letters and personal calls from readers of The Amsterdam News to the effect that they were Jim crowed and given the worst seats when they visited the place. Aong the letters is one from William Jones, 13 Worth 129th street, who says, in part: "During the run of 7-11 some weeks ago at Hurtig & Seamans I applied for two seats in the first lobby at a Tuesday mattine. The location I requested was center aisle first row so I have long been aware of the policy of placing the race in the left section." The man in the box office fingered the tickets and gave me two on the left. I remonstrated; then he LAME BACK IF YOUR GLOUDS ARE WEAR YOU SUFFER FROM A LAME BAGIL OMIN IMPURPOSE STRENGTH NEW YORK ANSTERBAN NEW YORK WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1925 gave me two in rear center. At this point I burst into the private office and demanded of a man therein what right bad the treasurer to "dress the house." I pointed out that I was one of the public and should be seated as I declared. I then asked for two seats. first row, center aisle, for any matinee during the week, whereupon the official gave me tickets marked right center. I left in trumpet, but when I appeared at the matinee I found out that, after all, they had defeated me, for my seats were the last two on the row, placing me where I could not see one side of the stage. They were extreme right. "In conclusion, allow me to state that it is an impossibility to see a member of the race on the first rows of any section in the first balcony at the 125th street house." Attucks Day Fittingly Observed in Boston BORTON, Mass., March 5. Thursday, March 5, was a notable day for the colored American race in Boston. All day long, from 10:30 A.M. at the spot where the colored martyr fell first and his white comrade fell with him, until Mayor Quinn of Cambridge and Mrs. Wright of the W. R. C. finished their praises in beautiful Rugles Hall, in our Colored Pythian (E. & W. H.) Temple, at 11 P. M., the day was replete with high recognition of the historic American hero. The city hoisted flags on Penneau Hall, where Attucks' and Gray's bodies were taken. March 1770; on City Hall, Boston Commons; on Public Garden; sent a wreath to Attucks monument and an extra one from Mayor Curley personally, with the Commissioner of Celebrations, Philip O'Connell, directing and Acting Mayor Merriarty speaking. The State hoisted the flags on the State House and sent Major Sampson of the Governor's staff with a wreath to the monument, where he spoke for Massachusetts. The school committee directed the superintendent to speak to the principals of the league's request for Attucks exercise in classrooms. Boston's oldest banks in the square where Attucks fell put out flags, and others and the Bostonian Society from the old State House. Michael J. Jordan placed a wreath here for the Irish. Rev. Benj. W. Swain, vice-president at large of the National Equal Rights League, presided at the Attacks in monument, which session was under the national body of the league. There was a wreath by the State, one by the city, one by May or Curley, brought by J. H. Jones, Jr. his secretary; one by J.

DIFFERENCES OF RACE TO CAUSE NEXT WORLD WAR "Politicians Have Failed to Solve Question of How Races May Dwell Together Peacefully." ST. LOUIS, Mo., Mar. 9. —Declaring that the causes of the last war were national and that racial difficulties would precipitate the next war, Lester C. Haworth, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., made an address at the Second Presbyterian Church Wednesday night. "On account of the fact that the races of the earth are inextricably thrown together," Mr. Haworth said, "there is little question but that the ultimate political problem of the world will be. How Can the Races of the Earth Dwell Together Peacefully?" This question has gathered momentum. The politicians have failed to offer a solution. Nor can the materialistic philosophers representing western civilization offer an adequate solution. "Thinking men of all races are realising as never before that the solution to the race problem must be found in the practical application of the teachings of Christ. It is in the power of western civilisation to determine to what extent the Christian religion is to be only a white man's religion. Some radical adjustment in the thinking of leaders of the Christian church must come to pass if Christianity, at least within the next few generations, is to make a vital contribution to the cause of world peace, which is now threatened by racial misunderstanding, prejudice and animosity. "America has the opportunity of leading the way, for within her gates the race problem manifests itself in a great variety of ways. What shall be our attitude toward the Orientalis, of whom almost 300,000 reside in America? Their coming here is largely at our request and their presence is in accordance with America's approval. Even now the controversy can be settled amicably if America will take the right attitude toward the Orientalis who are legitimately here." SEEK EMPLOYMENT AT FORD PLANT ST. PAUL, Minn., March 9.—Public-spirited white and colored business men of this city, headed by R. C. Carter of the local Urban League, and Fred D. McCracken, prominent realtor and former housing expert of the U. S. Department of Labor, have been seeking to bring about the employment of a proportionate number of Negro workers, skilled and unskilled, when the local Ford Motors Works opens its Minnesota plant in the near future. It is estimated that this wing of the great Ford automobile industry will begin work with about 1,600 hands and that, within a year, the work force may swell to more than 10,000. With the prospects of an early Spring, migration of Negroes from the Southern States, a portion of which will doubtless enter the Twin Cities district, local citizens and interested welfare workers are urging that the Ford Company extend its usual policy of employing Negro hands to the St. Paul works AUTOS TO HIRE Up-to-date Hudson and Marmons; limousines.

Story of Stormy Aldermanic Election in Chicago CHICAGO, Ill., March 9.—Never in the history of Chicago politics have the citizens of the windy city experienced such an aldermanic campaign as the one just closed here, which re-elected to the city council for the fourth time fighting Bob Jackson, a warrior of many battles from the Third Ward, and Louie B. Anderson, who for six years held the distinction of being an-Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson's floor leader. After studying western politics, men and measures, I publicly predicted the re-election of these two war horses of many battles, because of their wonderful record in office. Arrayed against them were Hon. Oscar DePriest and his independent organization, sometimes Democratic and sometimes Republican, who placed Attorney A. L. Williams against Alderman Anderson, and Dr. R. A. Williams against Alderman Jackson, representing the Second and Third Ward respectively. It was a non-partisan fight as these two Wards are wholly Republican. Boss Oscar, as he is termed, controls one of the strongest political organizations this side of Gary, Ind., and is no mean fighter, sagacious, subtle, unmerciful and knows no quarter, but as usual for the fourth time he is beaten by the unbeatable "Bob" Jackson, who for eight years messed up Oscar's party! Won by Handsome Majorities. Alderman Jackson carried 59 of the 70 precincts of the Third Ward with a record vote of 9,337 to Dr. Williams 7,490, or 2,447 majority. Alderman Winn won in 50 precincts out of 85 with a total vote of 4,440 against A. L. Williams' 4,547—R. A. Parker received 182 votes, a three-cornered fight. Boblin Alderman Jackson was arrayed an army of fifty brilliant speakers who consisted of lawyers, doctors, business men and college students. Race women played no more part, while men and women of this character also worked just as hard for Jackson as they would their own, day and night, in sleet and snowstorms and zero weather. they cared not but for one thing, the re-election of fighting "Bob Jackson!" Hon. George T. Kersey, the committeeman of the regular Republican organization and manager of Jackson's campaign, was the center of fire as he controls the ADVERTISEMENT. Tells Dyspeptics What to Eat Indigestion and practically all forms of stomach trouble, say medical authorities, are due nine times out of ten to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chronic "acid stomach" is exceedingly dangerous and sufferers should do either one of two things. Either they can go on a limited and often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods that disagree with them, that irritate the stomach and lead to excess acid secretion or they can eat as they please in reason and make it a practice to counteract the effect of the harmful acid and prevent the formation of gas, sourness or premature fermentation by the use of a little Bisurated Magnesia at their meals. There is probably no better, safer or more reliable stomach antacid than Bismarck Magnesia and it is widely used for this purpose. It has no direct action on the stomach and is not a digestent. But a teaspoon of the powder or a couple of five grain tablets taken in a little water with the food will neutralize the excess -acidity which may be present and prevent its further formation. This removes the whole cause of the trouble and the meal digests naturally and healthfully without need of pepsin pills or artificial digestants. Get a few ounces of Blurred Magnesium from any reliable drugglass. Ask for either powder or tablets. It never comes as a liquid, milk or citrate and in the blurred form is not a laxative. Try this plan and eat what you want at your next meal and see if this isn't the best advice you ever had on "what to eat." patronage of the Third Ward. This was the prize Mr. DePriest fought for. Traction Interest Less. It was alleged that the traction company, whose franchise is about to expire, backed Dr. Williams in order to control his vote when the consideration of the new franchise come up. It is known that $10,000 was spent election day to defeat Jackson alone, but he came out as usual victorious. The good doctor returns to his practice a more experienced man, and Alderman Jackson returns to the City Council to continue the work he left unfinished, as he is on four of the most important committees in the City Council, of which the transportation is one. Through and above it all Hon. Ed. H. Wright, committeeman and commander-in-chief of colored politics, a black man who is matched with George Brennan and the late Chas. F. Murphy, and who is re- sponsible for the election of Judge George and Senator Roberts, sits smiling as usual at the success of his candidates and the defeat of Boss Oscar! To win in the primaries is tantamount to election, which is certified in April. Again, I say, let New York Negroes get busy, it can be done! EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES SQUARE EMPLOYMENT AGENCY C. M.

Some years ago when the New York World started its drive against the Klan Borglum was among those asked what he thought of the Klan.

THE 369th's COMMANDER COLONEL ARTHUR LITTLE, commander of the 369th New York Infantry, was dubbed a "pink tea colonel" at a mass meeting held last week in the interest of Negro officers for the regiment, with the lieutenant-colonel of the unit. We are uncertain as to how well the expression fits Lieutenant-Colonel Louis E. Jallade, the white officer recently promoted to the post formerly held by Seth B. McClinton, because his service with the regiment has been short, but we decidedly think it unfair when applied to Colonel Little. DURING the World War, Colonel Little served with the "Fifteenth" as a major, and the record of the "Fifteenth" is above reproach. How Colonel Little justifies the promotion of Major Jallade who has only been with the regiment for about a year to lieutenant-colonel and not the senior major, William Jackson, whose military experience compares more than favorably with that of Jallade, is a different question.

C.—The anniversary of the birth of Colonel Charles Young, which occurs on March 12th, will be observed throughout the fifty-four chapters of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity by private services on that date or by public ceremonies on Sunday, March 15. Colonel Young, the only Negro graduate of the Military Academy at West Point to attain the rank of Colonel in the Regular Army, was born at Mayslick, Kentucky, March 12, 1864. At the age of sixteen he graduated from High School at Ripley, Ohio. His alert mind commended itself to the school authorities of his town so favorably, that he found himself teaching in the public schools of Ripley. He was appointed to West Point in 1884, and while there endured many things not mentioned in the curriculum. There was no refinement of cruelty and insult which was not heaped upon his head in the attempt of his fellow students to drive him from the institution: "He faced insult as he faced his daily bread and with the same imperturbable balance and determination. He not only faced death in war, but what is more difficult, he faced it daily in peace." One of his instructors, realizing the effects of the extra-train and enforced solitude, advised him to request a horse and promised that he would see that it was given him young thawter spent many early hours in the cuddle and was an excellent horseman.

IF THE REPORT is true that the noncommissioned officers of the regiment are circulating a petition urging Governor Smith to disregard the petition for Negro officers, God help them. They, more than any one else, should be interested in keeping the door of hope and opportunity open to themselves and to members of the race. The fight for Negro officers must not be allowed to evolve itself into a fight on Colonel Little, who has contributed much to the outfit, nor a fight on the white officers in the regiment, many of whom may be sincere in their desire for service, but a fight for an opportunity rightfully ours. What chance would a Negro officer have of being given an assignment in the famous Irish regiment, the Sixty-ninth New York, or of entering a regiment where the entire enlisted personnel consisted of Jews? None. Then why is it so appropriate for white men to command a Negro regiment? Cameraman and Garvey Again To the Editor of The Amsterdam News, Dear Stig: * As an old reader of the Amsterdam News I have been viewing with great interest recently the discussion brought about by the writer of your column, "Colorful News Movies." "The Cameraman," who claims to be the author of the "Colorful News," in his reply to the critic which appeared in your current issue of Marcin 4 shows a bit of inconsistency. As an old reader of the Amsterdam News I have been viewing with great interest recently the discussion brought about by the writer of your column, "Colorful News Movies." "The Cameraman," who claims to be the author of the "Colorful News," in his reply to the critic which appeared in your current issue of Marcin 4 shows a bit of inconsistency. At first he makes an issue over Mr. Carvey's questionnaire: "Do you believe the Negro is a human being?" Indeed, if such be the case, Mr. Carvey right because of the way in which the Negro is treated in this country—lynched, burned at the stake, denied outright justice, segregated—one often wonders if he (the Negro) is recognized as a human being here. "It will take years for stalwart Negroes. American free born Negroes living under the Stars and Stripes and given guarantees under the U. S. Constitution to rebuild the bridges built by Lincoln, Sumner, Stevens ... says "The Cameraman." But is this really true? If so, why can't the U. S. guarantee the life and safety of its black citizens? Again he says, "Why should it have been urged that the Negro people should remove themselves to Africa? Italian, German, English, Austrian and other people who have become Americanized are not wailing over a return movement to their respective countries." Evidently The Cameraman does not realize that the Italian, German, Austrian and other whites who emigrate to this country do not meet the opposing forces which the American born Negro has to face. The foreign whites are free to pursue any line of endeavor they may choose. With the Negro it is different. America may not be a "recruiting ground for African citizenship" in the eyes of "The Cameraman" and several others, but didn't De Valera come to the U. S. in order to get support for his program before returning to Ireland? And didn't Trotsky, as editor of an East Side newspaper, begin his work therefore, is only a repetition of what has happened in the past and is continually happening. Wake up, Mr. Cameraman!

Because of his quickness in coming to the aid of needy students, it was said of him literally, "He clothed the naked and fed the hungered." During the Spanish-American War, Young was appointed a major of the Ninth Ohio Infantry. After hostilities ceased, he reverted to his regular rank, and was assigned to the Philippines, where he commanded a troop at Samar, Blenon, Aurora, Daraga, Toboca, Rossas and San Joaquín. He was returned to the States in 1863, commanded a troop at San Francisco, then became Acting Superintendent of Sequoia and Grant National Parks, in the administration of which he received formal praise and approval. He was appointed Military Attaché to Haili in May, 1901. While there he made an accurate map of the island, which the Marines are reported to have used on their recent expedition. He also collected material for his drama, "Tousaint L'Overture," and for an unauthorized memoir in which he revealed the causes of the outbreaks in Haiti, and suggested what he thought effective means for putting an end to them. After a tour of Italy on the General Staff in Washington, Young was again sent to the Philippines. In 1912, Young attained the rank of major in the Regular Army and while in Washington, D. C. at that time became a member of the Omega Pal Pil Prentory. He was sent appointed Military Attaché to Hawaii. Of Signals From Timbuctoo Signals From Timbuctoo By J. OTHO GRAY.

I knew set there was nothing to it; ditto. "Oh John," said my wife, say Mrs. Biff has a radio set? I laid my magazine down ion and spoke with a husband "let your things on." "JOHN," said my wife, with staccato distinctness, "Mrs. Biff has a radio set." I didn't look up from the magazine I was reading, but at once began figuring how many loose dollars were available for the radio industry—in other words, without further delay I made a mental appropriation. You see, Mrs. Biff and my wife are somewhat jealous of each other and they make it a point to keep track on any additional conveniences either household takes unto itself, for each is determined that one shall not outdo the other in keeping pace with the times. I knew if Mrs. Biff had a three tube set there was nothing to it; we must have a four tube ditto. "Oh John," said my wife, succinctly, "did you hear me say Mrs. Biff has a radio set?" I laid my magazine down with humility and resignation and spoke with a husband's authority: You will suspect that this ready response of mine indicated a familiarity with female psychology, and your inference is tremendously correct. When a woman makes up her mind to duplicate a rival's performance, such a thing as a mere spouse will have to let her have her way if he wants to attain that favorable condition colloquially termed "sitting pretty. We went out to discover a radio set that would make Mrs. Biff's look like a wornout trivial gimcrack. If her outfit would get the coast ours must do more and get signals from Timbuctoo. We entered a store that featured an apparatus called the Delgetterdyne. The salesman was a loquacious chap whose one consuming passion was dumping Delgetterdynes on receptive prospects, and he lost no time in tabulating the merits of his wares. "This outfit," said he, "is the cream of them all." "That's rich." thought I. "It gets KGO as regularly as the locals. If there's a signal anywhere in the vicinity Del his services to that country the adjutant-general said. "It has been only with the most careful advisory supervision of Major Young that peace and order have been maintained." In 1915 he was awarded the Spingara Medal, From February, 1916, to March, 1917. Young was with the Punitive Expedition in Mexico. While there he realized that America would soon enter the European conflict—in order that his race might serve not only as followers, but as leaders in this conflict. Young established a school for the instruction of the anilised men of his command in the face of the opposition of his superior officer. While he yet dreamed of a brigadier-generalship and of leading Nero troops in France, suddenly he was retired for physical disability. Like the soldier that he was, Young saluted the President of the Retiring Board and went home; but the active, aggressive spirit of this patriot would not be quieted. While the proceedings of the Retiring Board were being reviewed he, to prove his fitness for active service, dung himself into the saddle, and once more the soldier and his horse rode alone — from Kenie, O. to Washington he came. "Could a sick man stand that ride" was the question his actions raised. But a generalship was not to be his. Disappointed, heartbroken, but without a murmur against his Government, without an outward sign of emotion, he accepted the final report of the Retiring Board pronouncing him unit for active service. Then followed a brief period of service at Camp Grant, Illinois, and a res appointment as Military Attaché to Liberia, in the performance of which duty he died. On January 8, 1922 at Large, Southern Nigeria Colonel Young is thought of primarily as a soldier, but he was more than a soldier. He was a brilliant scholar and linguist. He was author of the drama, "Toussaint L'Ouverture," of "Military Morale of Races," and of one hundred and three poems, entitled "Bong Wings." His artistic ability was not confined to literary attentions, for he is credited with the following musical compositions: "The Beatitudes," eight pieces, An Offertory (reworking of old hymns), and eight serenades. He also performed on many musical instruments with remarkable ability. A storm commander on the field he was a true companion after the fall of the city. He led his men, not because of his shoulder-straps, but because he was a born leader of men—men instinctively followed him. Every soldier who has ever served under his lovers, Uncle Charles, as he was affectionately named with mildly courage or down with men serving for one's lover, has complied the highest type of Christian manhood in his life. Daily self-confidence; he used the embodiment of the poets' highest ideals. --- with staccato distinctness, set." On the magazine I was reading how many loose dollars ustry—in other words, withinal appropriation. You see, new jealous of each other keep track on any additional takes unto itself, for each outdo the other in keeping if Mrs. Biff had a three tube we must have a four tube succinctly, "did you hear me with humility and resigna- s authority: getterdyne will reach out and grab it and bring it melodi- oally to your loud speaker. "Will it get signals from Timbuctoo?" I asked. "What Timbuctoo?" he demanded. "In Afghanistan," I explained. "There ain't no Timbuctoo in Afghanistan." "Then where is it?" "I don't know, but I can say this much: If there's anybody broadcasting anything in Timbucoe the Delegatdterdyne will tell you all about it. Are you acquainted with Mrs. Biff?" "She a friend of mine," my wife remarked. "She recently bought a set." "And that set is no other than the Delgetterdyne," said the salesman, whereat my wife arrose, and issued this ultimatum: "We must select some other make of instrument, for we would hardly wish to buy this kind just because Mrs. Biff did." The persuasion of the salesman were magically futile, so we left the store with a handful of radio literature and hied us further down the street to another place where sets were dispensed, some of which might well be dispensed with. In this institution they had a prize article called the Delferde, an ingenious circuit especially designed to bag every station from pole to pole. The obliging gentlemen who acted as a guide to the wonders of the Delferde had a fine line of brazing clatter and brought his monetary exposition to a close by turning a couple of dials until the strains of an orchestra flowed about our ears. "Isn't that realistic?" he exclaimed. "Observe how faithfully every note is reproduced, with no hint of distortion. You can hear the corn of the correct, the beans of the drum, the virtue of the bass, and, as it were, the anatomy of the trombone." "That's all right," he jacqualed, "will it get signals from Timbecco?" "The Delftlex will get signals from everywhere. It will not only do that better than any other set. It will do more. It will actually get signals when there isn't none." "Where does it get 'em?' I asked wonderingly. "In the loud speaker," quoth he with unction. The best people are buying the Delftlex; sold out last week to Mrs. Biff, who lives in your neighborhood." "I thought she had a Delgetterdyne," exclaimed my wife. "The did have, but hearing of the superiority of our product, she came in here and exchanged her Delgetterdyne for a Delftlex. "My wife promptly pronounced a flat worded in this wise: "We will not buy a set today." The cratery of the dealer availed a whit, so we finally emerged from the place with some more radio literature in our hands. Across the way was another store handling radio sets. This was a likely looking emporium and I was pleased with its topography. I figured our problem would be solved in here. They had an outfit that was euphoniously named the Togem &, a new and revolutionary circuit for which very modest claims were made, considering they were applied to radio apparatus. "Will it get signals from Timbuctoo?" I queried. The store was fairly beamed. "Timbuctoo is in your backyard when you have a Togem &" he assured me. "We have verifications from all over the country." "Have you verification from Timbuctoo?" I asked mildly. "Oh, yes." he responded readily. "But at the store they are on Lake Erie. You can only write for them a day or two." He turned a dial and after several general talks a voice issued from the land spoke it, spoke the two words and opened. "What station was that?" I interrogated. He looked at me and spoke impatiently. "Timbuctoo." "Jumping from that," said I. "I must be a ball of a place." "You can judge it by the broadcasting." The most REPORTS OF WORK IN BELGIAN CONGO From the heart of the Belgian Congo Mrs. Priscilla M. Berry has made her report to Methodist headquarters in New York. She is a native of Tabula. Ohio, and formerly was a nurse in the Cleveland City Hospital, and is now busily engaged in training a score or more African boys to become medical assistants and to go back into their native villages to drive out the old witch doctors who now do a thriving business. In 1920 Mrs. Berry and her husband, Dr. William Clark Berry, were appointed missionaries of the Methodist Episcopal Church and assigned to the town of the most powerful native chief, Kabongo, in the Belgian Congo. There Dr. Berry died in November, 1923. After the death of her husband Mrs. Berry refused to leave the work. Just recently some of the students have been out treating some thirty cases of smallpox and have vaccinated some 4,000 persons, according to reports. They are being trained to preach and to do some teaching as well as to heal. "Reactionary as Te "Reactionary as Ten Commandments" By WILLIAM PICKENS. "I AM as reactionary as said Fayette Avery I thought he had made the Bible. He forgot that the written nearly 3,000 years ago tried to revise them nearly still far behind the procession best of all commandments it would have them do unto you AM as reactionary as the Ten Commandments," said Fayette Avery McKenzie, of Fisk. And he thought he had made a great hit by this appeal to the Bible. He forgot that the Ten Commandments were written nearly 3,000 years ago, and that Jesus of Nazareth tried to revise them nearly 2,000 year ago. McKenzie is still far behind the procession and does not know that the best of all commandments is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. But although McKenzie is some 2,000 years behind, he certainly knows what to do: that is, what to do to put himself furthest out of the respect of colored Americans. When he called in these "cops," he could not have done better to alienate the regard of colored people. If he had first held a three-day conference on the subject to determine the best ways and means to make himself shuffled. If we had been at such a conference, we certainly would have said: "Now, Mr. President. If you really want to make colored people know just who you are, and if you want to have a sure-enough falling out with them, you just call in a good gang of these southern policemen, who failed to protect a Negro child who was recently being laynched here; and you have these gallant policemen to come out to the institution and maul and case and bully and jail a view of the job of waking up the Negro will be well done. Even those Negro editors, who at present profess to see good in all the other mistakes made by you, may be converted. If you will make this coup. Put the police on the children, sir, and you may succeed in arousing the opposition of some of the belly-crawling Negroes who are at present pretending to like you simply because they happen to already some colored man who is already opposed to you. You sir, the biggest hit you can make will be with the clube of Nashville policemen." But it seems that McKenzie did not need any advice. He knew just where to kick colored people to make them kick back. Perhaps that is the way in which he means to "Do unto others as he would have them do unto him." CHICAGO RENTS LOWER CHICAGO. March 9.—Chicago rentals are going down and reductions of 5 to 10 per cent are being made in many neighborhoods. Concessions of one and two months' rent and liberal allowance for decorations and repairs are also being offered. Some real estate men say that 20 per cent of the city's flat dwellers will move on May 1. This has caused a rush on the part of landlords to get leases signed for next year. today we had the honor to sell to Mrs. Biff. My wife stated at him and exploded then: "Just fifteen minutes ago a salesman across the street told me he sold her a Defiant last week." He spoke with the curvy of a diplomat. That was the straw that broke the counsel back. I arose, grabbed my hat, looked at my watch, then looked at my wife and wondered like a brainstorm. "What would get to us about being glamorous and exciting?" Success to him! Book Chat By Francis Pendleton Gaines. Published by the Columbia University Press, 2860 Broadway, New York City. Price $2.50 postpaid. THIS study, unlike most thesis, is interesting reading. We are treated to a mass of details and the pages are thick with footnotes, but through all is a pleasant lightness of touch. Mr. Gaines shows us first the enormous vogue of the Southern plantation in literature and the drama, its chief characters, the chivalrous master, the lovely mistress and more lovely maid, a humorous "darkey." And while the darker side of plantation life was made prominent for a time by the abolitionists, the author proves conclusively that the Southern picture, the picture of Page and Edwards and Harris, the picture of the Birth of a Nation, is the one that remains firmly rooted in the American imagination. It is this picture that has come to be a part of American writing and is still a drawing card on the stage. So fixed is it that a light colored man must blacken his face, if he is to be accepted as funny before the footlights. Its Kentucky colonels, its lovely maidens in hoopskirts, its faithful mammies, moreover, are not only tradition, they are propaganda, and because they are propaganda, Mr Gaines' comparison of the legend and the reality are important. as the Ten Commandments," McKenzie, of Fisk. And he a great hit by this appeal to the Ten Commandments were, and that Jesus of Nazareth 2,000 year ago. McKenzie is and does not know that the is to do unto others as you ou. Civic Club Hears of Negro's Gifts The Civic Club of New York City recently gave an evening to the discussion of the Negro's gifts to America. The meeting arose as a consequence of the "Harlem Number," published as the March issue of the Survey Graphic Magazine. Speakers at the meeting were Prof. Alain Locke, of Howard University, who planned and worked on the "Harlem Number" of the Survey Graphic; Dr. W. K. E. B.DuBois, editor of The Crisis; James Welden Johnson and Walter White, secretary and assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Konrad Bercotell, author and lecturer, and Miss Kiles Johnson McDougall, assistant principal of Public School 89, in Harlem. Prof. Locks spoke of the youth movement in the Negro race and its spiritual and cultural significance. Dr. De Boces conducted the historian's conspiracy to deny the Negro credit for his share in America's upbuilding. Mr. Johnson spoke of the bad moral effect upon the nation that comes of oppressing a minority group and said the race problem involves "saving black America's body and white America's soul." Kozar Bercotell gave his impressions of Harlem life and ridiculed "Nordie" pretensions to superiority. Miss McDougall told of her work among colored mothers and children. Mr. White discussed the effects of race prejudice on white and colored people. A packed auditorium applauded the addresses. The Civic Club is the outstanding liberal club of New York City, and a meeting of this sort held there is expected to have far-reaching effects. CAPE TOWN, South Africa. March 10. Minister of Minne Ryers in moving the second reading of the Government's diamond control bill in the House of Assembly, attacked the London diamond syndicate. He declared it had monopolised diamond buying in South Africa for 36 years and had largely controlled the destinies of the large diamond producer of South Africa. Competition had been eliminated, he said, and it was an uncontrolled position that certain shareholders in the syndicate control the decision of certain producers. He charged that the syndicate for years had punished mines at the expense of the producers. The Minister added that the object of the present bill was to have the "word of Damascus" hung over the combinations and combinations such as the present syndicate and to take advantage of the guarantees of South Africa. "The Southern Plantation" The legend starts with a setting of splendor for the whole South. Every gentleman's home was a place of cultured magnificence. In reality, our author tells us, there were few such plantations. They were about as common as Kenilworth castles in Tudor, England. As for the characters within these great estates, the author examines them one by one. Of the master, the cavalier of romance, he finds that "the tradition is one of great inaccuracy. It is a dramatisation of the turid, the voilure, the sensational in plantation: life." The best plantation owners, men like R. F. W. Allston, Thomas Dabner, Robert B. Lee, make the figure in fiction seem tawny, while the majority certainly differed from the legend. The vices of gambling, drunkenness, violence, portrayed as foibles in romance, were actually "social iniquities of distressing magnitude." The chameau of the Southern woman of legend was not overrated but her position was not so charming as it seemed. "In all the romance there is a conspicuous absence of the psychology of lovely girls who married young sports and found that matrimony locked a door and throw away the key. Locked a door so thick that not even the cry of pain could over penetrate to the outer world." Some of the things Mr. Geinne says of the Negro of legend are delightful. The black manny is in the "fashion female retailer" of all races, a stock figure, and could be drawn acceptably by a writer who had gone no further south than Bangor. The "darkey" who made Negro ministrely one of the first American institutions is a folk figure, a simple rustic, artless, musical, superstitious. His original on the plantation is both better and worse than his picture. The stage tradition gave the Negro "spectacular traits which, though not altogether rare, are not invariable, and are not in themselves the complete psychology of the true Negro." It is in his treatment of the Negro, however, that Mr. Galas for the first time becomes an apologist for the South, declaring of the slave that "wasting was not unknown it is true but the fact remains that the burden of proof is on those who assert the misery of exceptional cases as the rule." The burden is a light one. One has only to state that Negro slavery was chattel slavery and that every year hundreds of thousands of slaves were sold from Virginia and the border States into the South. This domestic trade our author only alludes to in a footnote he remarks that "the coffee the slave dealer, the auction block, these remain unpleasant features." James Weldon Johnson's poem, "The Creation, A Negro Sermon," has been set to music by Louis Grunberg, one of the leading modern composers now in Paris. It is to be published in Vienna, Austria, probably before Summer, and has been asked for, for purposes of performance, by the American Music Guild and the Lauger in Composer. Mr. Grunberg states that the poem is set for baritone voice, with an accompaniment of eight instruments and will take from 15 to 17 minutes to perform. The composer writes that he composed the music because the poem gripped me powerfully and working on it made me happy. Again my cour stuations for "The thief." It is still for him willing poem in spite of the fourth poem I have contested three times, standing on the compound
