ADVOCATES MOB LAW Did It Ever Happen to You? If It Did, You Can Get Cash for It--See Page 9 Colorful News "Movies" BY THE CAMERAMAN Unmusical Moments WILLIAM SHAKE-SPEARE, the great Bard of Avon, well knew of human frailties when he wrote of "the man that hath no music in his soul"; and had the gifted poet been present at the Washington Auditorium on May 5th and witnessed the voluntary departure from the All-American Music Festival of the International Council of Women of two hundred Negro singers of unsurpassable vocal accomplishments, he probably would have been inspired to add the gentler sex to his description of unmusical moments. There were present, on the Richmond Treble Clef Club, evening of the departure, the Howard University singers, the Hampton Institute Choir, the famous Amphion Glee Club, and such individual musical stars as Dr. Nathaniel Dett, noted composer; Miss Lulu Vere Childers; Prof. Roy Tibba, pianist extraordinary, and Prof. J. Henry Lewis, of national fame — in all 200 of the sweetest singers and artists of which America can boast. Their swelling throats and smooth tones could have stirred the hearts of the international women who were present with absorbing musical descriptions of America. But, also, the festival of music was rudely interrupted by the clattering bones of the skeleton in the closet. For one reason or another, for as one of the white managers said, "because of her training." Negro devotees of musical art who braved the downwind Washington Historical section to bear the burden of "my people" were Jim Crowed in the Washington Auditorium. In other words, the policy of blending voices but not blending bodies was the order of the night for such of the race as had sufficient mental strength to listen, but not look. The apothecary of personified segregation of their people was quite humiliating to the Negro artists. As one of them said, it turned his musical soul inside out and he felt like a "motherless child." Amid such an environment the 201 Negro singers were quite unable to sing international songs and, as in Robin Hood of old, with one backstep they departed in a body from the great All-American musical festival. Gone were Dett, Tibia and the Negro voices, and a silence reigned as deep as that of Tatara harp. The festival proceeded sadly and unmusically. The musical diet that was left over for the remaining white listeners was not incomparable to a vegetable diet for an iron and steel worker. Most significant of all, however, was the fact that the Negro artists decided for themselves, in unison-like style, that art, the great consoler of man (and sometimes women, too) should be left free, unilloyed with race hatred, unsurcored by the fires of segregation, and unattired by the mattle of deception. Accused of being a squatter at 1814 Lexington avenue, where he is said to have existed in utter idleness. Anderry Blackman, 35, was sent to the workhouse for 60 days. According to Blackman his religion was to do work of no kind. He was almost nude when the officers arrested him. They had to make a suit out of newspapers for him Mrs. Mabel Small, of 28 West 13th street, was granted a divorce by Supreme Court Justice Wagner Fridley from her husband, Lamie Small. The evidence presented in the case was secured by the Boulin Agency in a raid March 8, at 109 West 13th street. Attorney Bradahaw Thorne represented Mrs. Small, who did not ask allmony. OUT-OF-TOWN AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Mrs. Amorel E. O'Kelley Cooke Is Divorced MINISTER DIVORCES WIFE FOR DESERTION Mrs. Armorel E. O'Kelley Cooke, Fisk University Graduate and Poetess, Says the Rev. Isaac W. Cooke Burned 200 of Her Verses. (Preston News Services.) NEWARK, N. J., May 11. It was with "heart bowed down by weight of woe" that Mrs. Armorel E. O'Kelley Cooke, born a poet, as she testified, heard Vice-Chancellor Church Thursday announce as his conclusion from the testimony he had heard that her husband, Rev. Isaac W. Cooke, had proved his right to a divorce on a desertion charge. All the time on the verge of tears, Mrs. Cooke, a graduate of Fisk University of Nashville, Tenn., and a writer of verse, told a tale of sufferings at the hands of the defendant, assistant pastor of Bethsaida Baptist Church, until in despair she quit him in June, 1918. One count in her indictment of her husband was that "he burned about 200 of my earlier and best poems." Other counts had to do with alleged brutal beating, the last of which, she testified, took place in the home of a friend where she had the week before taken refuge with her three young children. A daughter of the couple named Sarah, aged 18 and a graduate of Central High School and now a pupil in the New Jersey Law School, testified that "father beat mamma all the time," but the vice-chancellor said that he did not regard her testimony of value because of her extreme youth at the time of the 'dessertion. As to the wife's story of the beating administered in the home of a friend after the parting the vice-chancellor said, in substance, that, although she was corroborated as to that incident by the friend, it was by all accounts an ex post facto occurrence and hence could not be pleaded in justification of the desertion. Manager and Cashier of Cotton Club Held Herman Stark, 26, 953 Bimpeon street, and Peter Meyers, 42, 246 West 106th street, manager and cashier, respectively, of the Cotton Club, were arraigned in the Heights Court and held in $1,000 ball each on the complaint of Walter J. Mullah, of Newark, N. J., for a hearing. Mullah claimed that the two set upon him in the Cotton Club and beat him about the head and shoulders with a blunt instrument. Woman Charged With Forcery.

Minnie Palge was held in $1,000 bail for a hearing on the complaint of Mary Brown, 40 West 132nd street. er Happe Wins Bronze, Silver and Gold Medals in Carnegie Hall Singing Contest THE WEEKLY PRESS "Yellow Charleston" (Julius Miller) is near death following an operation for appendicitis in Sing Sing, where he is awaiting execution for the murder of Barron Wilkins. THE NEW YORK Found guilty by Magistrate Brodsky of using short weight in his store at 465 Lesox avenue. Henry Sohn was held in $25 bail for Special Sections. Many fight fans who did not go to the Commonwealth Saturday night witnessed an exhibition free of charge at 1400 street and Seventh avenue, between "Kid" Herbert Boulin, head of the well-known detective agency, and "Kid" Hubert Julian, of airship fame. The scrap had the Commonwealth beaten in that there was no referee—at least not until many hours later. "Kid" Julian, it seems, was selling the safety razors donated to him by the Gem Safety Razor Co. to pay for the airship in which he hopes "to fly around the world," when "Kid" Boulin appeared in the street audience. "Kid" Boulin had been employed to investigate "Kid" Julian in the first airship venture and there is no love lost between the two, which is a polite way of saying that there is much bad blood between them. "Kid" Julian's airship came a stoper in the mud of the Hudson last year. He blames "Kid" Boulin for it and always points Boulin out to the crowd when he appears. Saturday night Julian was at the height of his oratory when Boulin, his faithful shadower, appeared on the scene. Stopping in the midst of his recital as to how he intends to fly to Africa, Julian aboutted excitedly: "You ask hbw I came to fall in my first fight." There's the man that is responsible. There's Boulin now." Words followed. Julian claims none did, but that Boulin socked him in the jaw and he struck back in defense. Anyway, both mixed it fast and furious for the next few minutes. The Decision. The next scene occurred in the Heights Court with Magistrate Brodsky as referee. Boulin, with a badly swollen eye, claims victory on a foul. Julian, with several bits of Boeh nicked out of his cheek and contusions behind the left ear, claims that by right he is the complainant instead of Boulin. Magistrate Brodsky, after hearing their stories, awarded the first round to Boulin and Seed Julian $5 or five days. Julian appealed. Encounter No. 2 began Monday morning when Julian appeared in the Heights Court armed with a doctor's certificate to ask for a commons for Boulin on a charge of assault. Magistrate McCruy had adjourned for the day, if necessary, to have the decision reversed. DETECTIVES DIVORGES, INVESTIGATIONS, Eth.

Negro Is Hero of River Disaster Owner of Motorboat Carried Thirty to Safety, including Captain MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 11.—Tom Lee, owner of a motorboat, emerged Saturday as the hero of the Mississippi River disaster on board the Government steamer M. E. Norman, last Friday, which went down in three minutes, carrying twenty-three to death. Lee, it appears, carried thirty to safety in his boat. Of the death toll two were colored. They are: MOORE, WILL, deckhand. PLUNKETT, TOM, deckhand. Lee was methodical in his rescue work. Time after time he loaded his motorboat with victims of the disaster, took them ashore and went back for another load. Among those he saved was Howard T. Fenton, 55 years old, captain of the ill-fated vessel. He had been a river pilot 34 years.

IN GREATER NEW YORK ELSEWHERE 5C INFLAMMATORY EDITORIAL PUBLISHED IN ROCKAWAY BEACH NEWSPAPER Advises Men of the Community to Take Matters Into Their Own Hands and Mete Out Punishment on the Spot to Negroes At the instance of The Amsterdam News the legal department of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with offices at 69 Fifth avenue, has brought to the attention of Postmaster General Harry S. New an inflammatory editorial printed April 22 in the Argus, a newspaper published in Rockaway Beach, N. Y. The editorial in question prescribes an "effective remedy" for colored men accused of "conducting themselves in an offensive manner toward white women," which remedy, so-called, is "outside the pale and laws." In his letter to Postmaster General New, Mr. Walter T. White, Assistant Secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., wrote as follows: "I am sending you enclosed exact copy of an editorial which appeared in The Argus published at Rockaway Beach, New York, headed, "The Negro Question," which appeared on Wednesday, April 11. "In that editorial I wish to call your specific attention to the concluding paragraph in which, after having cited above certain criticisms of colored citizens of Rockaway, states: "There is only one effective remedy for this (colorado) case, depicting themselves in an allegedly offensive manner, to the women and that is for the men of the community to take the matter into their own hands and mote out coercion punishment on the spot. It is not a matter for the police or the courts. A creature who will insult a woman on the public streets puts himself outside the pale and laws and courts were not made for him!" "We have submitted this editorial to our attorneys and they have recommended that we advise you of the editorial believing that, being a direct incitement to mob violence and violation of the law, it requires action on the part of the Post Office authorities. "We are respectfully requesting that such action as is possible by your department be taken against the editors and publishers of this publication. Will you be good enough to advise us of action taken in this matter?" Mrs. Laura Moore, 167 West 146th street, was held up Tuesday morning by Sylvester Clark, 21, 31 West 26th street, and robbed of $300. Mrs. Moore had gone to the Dime Savings Bank for the money and was in the hallway of 333x Seventh avenue, when the robber, who evidently had been following her, grasped her by the throat and began pounding her in the face. After a desperate battle, he grabbed the postbook and ran to the cellar. The outcries of neighbors brought Policeman Charles L. Godfrey to the scene. He pursued Clark to the soot, and after a battle made him prisoner. "Insufficient" Evidence FREE FOUR OF ATTACK Daniel Jones, 12' West 132d street, newsboy, appeared in the Heights Court Monday morning to accuse William Hall, 2758 Eighth avenue; Salvatore Rometo, 2528 Seventh avenue; Joseph Walker, East Elmhurst, L. L, and John Parrelly, 205 West 145d street, all white, with robbing him at his newstand at 145th street and Eighth avenue Saturday morning, of $15. They were caught by Policeman Safer. All the defendants were freed with a warning because of insufficient evidence. The association has received a letter from the Postmaster General stating that the matter has been turned over to the acting solicitor for the Post Office Department, H. J. Donneilly. The Argus, whose managing editor is William Althoas, has been entered as a second-class matter publication, and as such is under the jurisdiction of the Post Office Department. The circulation is the mails of matter calculated to incite to riot and murder is in violation of the postal regulations. The paper gives Joseph Pearson as secretary and treasurer. UNDERGRADUATES ASK REFORMS HOWARD UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ON STRIKE Demand That Rule Compelling Attendance at Officers' Training School and Physical Training Be Discontinued WASHINGTON May 11 In a meeting of more than 1,000 Howard University students in the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, Thursday, the student body voted unanimously to strike, effective now, until the following demands are voted in the following resolution are granted: Whereas, all efforts on the part of the Student Council to induce the faculty to reconsider the rule regarding the "Driving of students from college upon the accumulation of twenty absences in Reserve Officers Training Corps and Physical Education combined have failed. Whereas, greater emphasis is placed upon attendance in R.T.C. and physical education classes than is placed upon attendance in academic classes. Whereas, the students were not aware of the existence of such a rule relative to absences in R.T.C. and physical education, at any time of registration in the spring quarantine.

It's Howard to be an Army or a University. We will be fighting and be buried in our graves rather than submit to autocracy. Dr J Stanley Durkee, president of Howard, is blamed for the spirit of autocracy at Howard, the students of the student council say. They point out that he is now at Carry School of Expression.

FISH 139 WEST 125th FORMS DIVINE SOUGHT BY PROFESSOR Dutch Anthropologist to Stage Contest for Most Perfect Physique of Many Races Venues and Apellos of the Negro race will have an opportunity to compete in the contest for the most perfect physique to be held soon in this city, thanks to the efforts of Prof. Herman M. Bernelot Moens, of 22 Mt. Morris Park. Last year at the contest, held at Madison Square Garden by the physical culture corporation, only white persons were permitted to compete. Prof. Moens, who acted as the chairman of the judges pointed out at that time how unrepresentative that contest was since only a part of the human race had been submitted. That is so far as the other judges had known for Prof. Moens pointed out later what had escaped the eyes of the others, namely that the winner of the second prize among the men had a high strain of Mongolian ancestry. Because of the insistence of Dorif Moose who is again to act as chairman of the judges, all races of men and women—Caucasian, Montanian Nexro, mixed races and others—are eligible. The total prizes will be $1000. First prize to the man and woman with the finest physique will be $200 each. Prof. Moess is author of "Towards Perfect Man" and other works. A naturalist and philosopher of very high standing he has been traveling in recent years in the East Indies the West Indies, Panama and the United States in pursuit of his hobby, the mixed types of humanity.

WASHINGTON, D. C. May 11.—Over 200 colored singers from the Richmond Treble Cleft, Howard University Glee Club, Hampton Institute Choir, and the Howard University Choral Society refused to appear on the program at the All-American music festival of the International Council of Women in the new auditorium Tuesday night because of the segregation of Negroes in the balcony of the building. When it came time for the singers to appear Miss Haine Q. Brown, of Wilberforce, Co. who had arranged for the appearance of the singers at the invitation of Mrs. David Allen Campbell, chairman of the opening, came out before the curtain and announced that the singers had left the auditorium because of a misunderstanding as to the seating of colored persons in attendance. It is understood that a specific complaint had been communicated to the singers by Mrs. Hunton, wife of an American consular representative at San Antoine, France, and Mrs. Mayme E. Jones, whose daughter, Miss juanita Jones, was to have danced in the performance. In a formal statement later in the evening Miss Brown said: "I was appointed in 1923 to arrange the music of the colored group for May 1, at the International Council of Women to be held in Washington, May 4 to 14. I came to Washington to attend the inauguration of President Coolidge for I directed the colored women's political activities throughout the United States and felt we must represent them during the eventful week. At great expense to myself and others I remained in the city except for a few weeks, gathering the singers from various organizations and cities to take part in this program. This being a great international movement, we had no idea that such a thing as segregation could ever enter the arrangement. We had secured such noted characters as J. Henry Lewis and Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett, one of the noted composers of America; Prof. Roy Tibbe, of Howard University, and others of note to participate in the music. Judge our surprise when we learned that there was to be segregation at the capital of the United States, where we would least expect it, against a group of the nation's constituents who have --- ```markdown ``` It's so easy for you to have soft, lovely hair HOUSANDS of men and women in our group have long and straight hair which always looks well preserved.

Negro delegates were seated Tuesday night on the orchestra floor of the auditorium, as they have been since the opening of the council. It is said that before finally dismissing his men, Prof. Nathaniel Dett, director of Hampton Institute choir, got into communication with Chief Justice William Howard Taft. Chairman of the Trustees of Hampton Institute, to get his advice. Later in the evening, the Chief Justice said someone had called him in the matter, but as he did not know the circumstances, he would have to be excused from commenting on it in any way. Prof. Dett, it is said, also tried to get Hampton Institute directly by long distance telephone. Mrs. Phillip North Moore president of the United States Council expressed great regret that the incident had occurred, and said that council officials had nothing to do whatever with the seating arrangements of the music festival, as the business side of the festival had been landed by a local firm Mrs. Moore admitted that she had given written assurance that there would be no segregation at the council to Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune of Daytona. The president of the National Association of Colored Women, of which she is a life member and patron, certainly intended that this agreement should hold. Mrs. Moore said, and it should have held for the entertainment, which is as much a part of the council program as the business meetings. No instructions were given to the firm that handled the tickets by the council officials and we never anticipated any such difficulty as has arisen, nor did we have anything to do with the arrangement of the seating for the night's performance." Negroes had paid $100 for tickets but the money was refunded.

Raymond Lopez. 27. $1 West: 135th street, was held in $5,000 bail for a hearing by Magistrate Brooklyn in Heights Court. The shooting is said to have been the result of an earlier quarrel between the two.

He then drew a revolver and fired at Saunders, hitting him in the leg. The defendant was arrested by Policeman Hunter, but had no gun at the time.

Preston 5215 W In Philadelphia Until June 1, 1925 The principal business of the first day, after the executive session and routine business, was the allocation of the Sovereign Grand Commander, Dr. Sumner A. Furniss, of Indianapolis, Ind. The annual address of this officer, besides dealing with the conduct of his office for the Masonic year, made a strong appeal for an organized effort to increase interest in education among the Negro youth of the northern states. Dr. Furniss pointed out that the continuous migration to the northern states of large numbers of colored people has brought some new and difficult problems, and with them a corresponding obligation on the part of Negroes already residing here to co-operate in all movements designed to readjust these people to the modes of northern life. He also recommended that the Supreme Council establish a suitable number of scholarships for deserving young Negro men and women who live within its jurisdiction. The recommendation was passed by acclamation. The most important item of business to be disposed of at the meeting was the contemplated action looking toward the erection of a handsome cathedral in Philadelphia, where a site has already been purchased. The Supreme Council was entertained at a smoker Monday night by the local colored Shriners, and ended its sessions with a formal banquet last night.

Stark of the Detective Bureau captured William Hall, 35, 3447 Cottage Grove avenue, after he had held up Arthur Brown, 35, 4318 Forrestville avenue, an expressman, at the point of a gun, taking $5 from him after shooting him in the left leg. The officer, uninjured, returned the fire and shot Hall in the right chest and left hand after the latter had emplied his revolver through the door of a yellow cab driven by Murray Lander. 4527 Lake Park avenue. The shooting occurred Thursday afternoon in front of 452 Bowen avenue. Police Sergesht David Smith, known as "Big Six," added another jewel to his brilliant crown by capturing Robert Johnson, a moron living at 4315 Dearborn street, who is alleged to have attacked several women.

H₂O The second monster made meeting of Equity Congress in support of its campaign for all Negro officers for the Fifteenth Infantry was held at Liberty Hall on the evening of May 6, to a capacity audience. Enthusiasm reigned supreme throughout the evening, and animated beyond question that the colored people of Harlem are heavily behind the organization in this movement. The meeting was called to order by Speaker Charles H. Bailey, and the opening prayer was offered by the chaplain of the Congress, the Rev. Dr. A. B. Vincent. The meeting was theraupon declared open to the public by Speaker Bailey, who introduced the master of ceremonies of the evening, the Rev. Dr. J. W. White. Following a confess and pointed opening address, in which the purpose of the meeting was vividly set forth, Dr. White introduced Hon. Louis Covallier, Member of the State Assembly. Mr. Convelier stated that he had been an Assemblyman for 14 years, dating from his election from the old 30th Assembly District, extending from 149th street down to 110th street, and from Eighth avenue on the west to the Harlem River on the east. In the course of this experience he had come to know and to respect colored people, large numbers of whom were his constituents. Mr. Couveller stated that back in 1912 he was chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs of the Assembly, under Governor Dix. The question of whether there should be a colored regiment in the National Guard came up, and he said: "Why not? If the United States recognizes the colored soldier as being a valuable soldier in time of war and also in time of peace, why should not the State of New York have a regiment of colored soldiers in its National Guard?" Mr. Couveller said he then introduced the bill authorizing such a regiment, and it passed both the Assembly and the Senate, and was sent to Governor Dix for signature. But the National Guard Association of the State of New York said, "What are you trying to do, organize the National Guard of the State of New York?" and they brought pressure to bear on Governor Dix, which resulted in his retiring the bill. But Governor Dix went out of office, Governor Sulzer came in, "I was re-elected," said Mr. Couveller, "and I reintroduced the bill. It was passed by both Houses without a disentangled vote, and Governor Sulzer signed the bill, making it a law, and it was my intent in introducing the bill that the regiment should be officered by colored men from colonial down, that was the intent of the Legislature which passed the MIL and was the intent of the Governor who signed it." Short and brilliant addresses were made by Measra. Holder and Weston, of the U. N. I. A., who welcomed Equity Congress to Liberty Hall and assured the organization of their undivided support, and the meeting also was brought to a high pitch of enthusiasm by the addresses of the Rev. T. O. Johns, Adam H. Seabrook, and Mr. Q. Biona Jones.

Corner 142d St. Juniors Won Hampton's Inter- Class Track Meet Last Week Inclement Weather During Week Handicaps Runners Training, With Result That Few Exceptional Records Are Made By P. BERNARD YOUNG, JR. HAMPTON, Va., May 11. —To its already impressive record in athletics at Hampton Institute the junior class added another star when it captured the annual interclass track and field meet held by Hampton on her Armstrong Field, which will be the scene of the fourth annual intercollegiate meet on May 10. The lads of the 1926 class, known as the "Trustees," by placing in 11 of the 15 events on the program, exhibited an all-round strength which gave them the honors over five other classes in a meet that took on a very important aspect, due to the coming championship meet. The 1926 class emerged victorious with an amassed total of 49 points. The college division was in good second with a total of 35 points. The next nearest opponents were the sophomore class with 24 points and the senior class with 17 points, 16 of which were won by W. M. King, present C. I. A. A. record-holder, in the 220-yard low hurdles, who came back strongly after a year's absence from the track competition. He placed first or second in four events, and then at the coach's orders withdrew from the low hurdles, his favorite event. Robert A. Coles, Jr., present var. single captain, won two first places—in the one-mile and two-mile events. Though his time was comparatively slow it was evident he had plenty in reserve. Henry Jackson, also a member of the winning team by two brilliant victories in the 160 and 220-yard dashes, aided materially in the 1926 victory. One existing record of the C. I. A. A. was equaled and one was amashed. King equaled the 120-yard high hurdle record, though Baker, who was disqualified for knocking down three hurdles, finished first. Hargrove amashed the javelin throw record with a heave of 161 feet 11 inches. There were many other good performances, too numerous to mention, and in the coming Hampton meet records are expected to be eclipsed by good margins. Summary of Events. 100-Yard Dash; H. A.

McAllister, D. P: On Shimault to Simonson, Temp- rier, Williams, Scoorer: William Francis Marcel and Roy Roberts in Big Baseball Trade Oliver Marcel, former captain and third baseman for the Lincoln Giants, and Roy Roberta, pitching ace with the Bacharach Giants, were the principal figures in the largest baseball trade that has taken place in the East in years. James J. Keenan, owner of the Lincolnins, transacted the deal with the owners of the Bacharach Giants, their agreement calling for the exchange of Roberts, John Harper and Savage, all pitchers, for Marcel. Roberta has already started work with the New York team, winning a game against the Philadelphia Hebrews at the Protectory Oral on Sunday, May 10. He has the reputation of walking more men and yet winning more games than any pitcher in the country. On one occasion he walked 16 men, pitching against Rube Poster's team, but won a 1-0 victory. Since the loss of Francis, the Bacharach Giant's weak spot has been third base, while the Lincoln's weakness for the past two years has been their pitching staff, hence the trade. Although Marcel is generally recognized as a great third baseman, he has been a storm center on the New York team for the past year. Possessed of an unusually quick temper, he became unpopular with local fans because of his readiness to argue and even fight with the impires. Nevertheless, he will be missed by his former team-mates and many fans. To further strengthen the Lincoln, Jim Keean has also signed "Stringbean" Williams and Johnson, two veterans of the game, and has shifted his outfield, putting Singer in left field. Thomas in center and Tom Flail in right. George Scales is now playing third and Dean, whom he secured from Chappie Johnson's Starn, is playing shortstop. This new combination will be tried out on the Cuban Stars in their first series with the Lincoln on Sunday, May 17. Season's First Exclusive Gathering at Alpha Dance Absence of Many Things That Marked so Many of the Other Affairs Noticed and Drew Favorable Com- The Alpha Physical Culture Club of Greater New York scored what many will consider a triumph at Manhattan Casino last Friday night in that all of the objectionable features so noticeable at the majority of so-called exclusive affairs were absent. In discussing the dance with one of the members we believe he voiced the sentiments of the entire club when he stated that Alpha would have appreciated a much larger crowd, but felt gratified at being able to draw such a fine group together. From early evening until early the following morning those present enjoyed themselves to the fullest. The ladies forming the auxiliary committee that worked along with Alpha for the success of this affair can very well afford to feel proud at the splendid result. Old line followers of the club came from far and near and many whose faces were missing for years from affair of this kind made it their business to be on hand to prove to Alpha that she is still held dear in the hearts of many who in the earlier days enjoyed triumphs scored at the same casino. Manhattan Casino was tastefully decorated for the occasion. GIVE YOUR EYES A CHANCE! DR. MARRIAGE HOMER Guestroom to Dr. Bernard L. Esther Olympictel & Opinion 2313 7TH AVE. 800. 6400 Open evenings until 10 NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. MAY 12. 1925 NOTABLES TO SEE TENNIS IN ITS OFFICIAL START By EDGAR G. BROWN (1922-23 Colored World's Tennis Champion) Marking a Most Auspicious Occasion Saturday Mayor John F. Hylan, simultaneously with the announcement that he would run again for a third term as the people's champion of a five-cent fare, accepted the invitation of Messrs. Edmunds and Spooner to serve the first tennis ball at the grand opening of the International Tennis Club on 146th St. between Seventh and Eighth Aves., Saturday, May 16. Several prominent officials of the United Lawn Tennis Association will be the guests of Dr. Harry S. McCard, president of the American Tennis Association; Mr. Gerald Norman and Dr. D. Iverson Hoage, one of the most proficient and square referees in the world and probably one of the most loved tennis fans in the game. Rev. Charles A. Martin, Rev. Dr. Bishop, Hon. George Harris, John E. Nail, Fred R. Moore, Romeo Dougherty, Assemblymen Billups and Shields, Dr. Roberts, Dr. Vincent, Dr. Binga Dismond, H. Adolph Howell and Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson are among the prominent guests who will put the stamp of Harlem's elite on the dedication of seven of the finest courts in the country. The members and officials of the Grenville Arrow, Cosmopolitan, Marathon, St. Thomas and Bluebird Tennis Clubs will be present. The opening of these fine tennis courts in the very heart of the greatest Negro population of the world bids fair to become not only the Winbledom of the United States, where all races will compete, but also the cradle of the coming international champion. I base the latter prediction on the announced plan of Messrs. Edmunds and Spooner to reserve one court at the club to be given over entirely to the scientific instruction of the game by a tennis expert, where beginners, young as well as old, and chop-stroke artists who wish to develop a Tilden winning game may receive special and thorough instructions in all the fundamentals of stroke perfection, match play, and the spin of the ball. New York, the melting pot of civilization, needs these universal tennis courts at 140th street and Eighth avenue, on the border line of black and white, just as much as it needs the nurture of Mr. John D. Rockefeller's International House, only twenty blocks away, where French, English, Japanese, West Indians, Italians, Europicans, Asiatics, Spanish, Filipinos, Chinese, Africans and Americans all meet, eat, sleep and play under the same rooI. The International Tennis Courts in Harlem present a perfectly exotic complex; though multicolored it is typically the atmosphere of the new continent discovered by Columbus only.a short while ago. Here is the all-known world atmosphere. Here are the races of all lands happy and free—how wonderfull What divine vision! Where will it all end? These young men have builted greater than they know. Saturday, May 16, at 140th street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, where the band plays the Star Spangled Banner. "O, long may if wave over the land of the free and the home of the brave," there can be no hollow tones, no mockery in its tone because New York, the world capital, opens her doors to all men and shares with them equally of her bounty. OUR CASPER GIVES ANOTHER $500.00. One of the finest things about the dinner given at the Fifth Avenue Restaurant, May 1, for prize winners in "Opportunity's" Literary Prize Contest was the announcement by the magazine's editor, Charles S. Johnson, that Mr. Casper Holstein, one of the most popular figures in Harlem, had donated $500 to enable the contest to be conducted again next year. From Casper Holstein, as we know and have known him for years, such a gift is not unusual. Yet we do not mean that it—it was quite voluntary, by the way—is something to pass by unostentatiously. On the contrary, we believe that it should be the subject of editorial comment in our journals, literary and otherwise, the country over, for it very eloquently shows that parallel with the Negro's development along literary and artistic lines there is development also of a charitable and philanthropic nature. And here, too, it is a new—new for us—kind of charity and philanthropy. For in the past others, like Mr. Holstein, have given to the conventional charity chests—for the church, the Old Folks' Home, day nurseries and social and uplift organisations. But this gift of Casper Holstein's is the finest in the history of the Negro where so large a sum has been specifically donated to the encouragement of art and literature within the race. Such a gesture is magnificent. No better stimulus could be provided for the young aspiring artists of the race. As a matter of fact, we are so excited over the great vision shown by Mr. Holstein, over the affirmation of his faith in the artistic genius of the Black Race, that we are quite willing to throw discretion to the winds and unalterably say that it would be ten thousand times better if some of our high society bugs who pride themselves on being anxious to see the Negro get ahead would set aside one-tenth of what they spend nightly in the cabarets and dance clubs and at their synthetic gin parties and do something half way as decent and as ennobling as did Mr. Holstein.

L. Martin Did the shade of the late David Martin glide into the New Star Casino last Friday night, he would have returned to his rest satisfied that the sacrifices he made in behalf of one of the most worthy organizations of its kind in America were not in vain. The man whom we were proud to call friend would have seen those with whom he worked and to whom he gave an undivided love "carrying on" in that manner of which he had dreamed for years, and to that noble family, which has labored smilingly in carrying on the work, we rise to greet with congratulations, together with their many friends, for helping to keep alive in the breasts of the appreciative a love for the higher forms of musical art. The Martin-Smith School entertained one of the largest, if not the largest, gatherings that has ever turned out to enjoy the work, and at the conclusion shared in the dance, which is always a feature at everything staged at the Casino. At the appointed time Fletcher Henderson and his musicians arrived and took charge, to the delight of the fine gathering. The musical program as presented met full appreciation, although many thought it was too long. The masters held full sway for the night, and those contributions to the world of music which will never die, no matter how long the years, were interpreted in a manner which can only come from those swayed by the inspiration which is at the birth of each and every number offered.

HARVEY BAKER TENOR Resital and Concert Arranged The Harlem School 300 W. 120TH ST., BRAD, 8128, Tutlen in Piano and Voice Culture EXPERT PIANO TUNING AND REPAIRING Tennis to Get Official Start in This Section of the Country This Saturday Tennis to Get Official Start in This Section of the Country This Saturday New Courts on 146th-147th Streets Expected to Accommodate Monster Throng When Lid Is Lifted --- By ARTHUR E. FRANCIS Saturday, May 16, will be red letter day for the colored tennis players and fans in Harlem, for on that day the lid on the 1925 tennis season will be taken off, and the season will officially start under the most favorable atmosphere the game has enjoyed in years. The players and fans have come out of their Winter obscurity into the dawning Summer sun, and are showing signs of active preparation for this great event; if we are to judge by the enthusiasm shown in this preparation during the past week, the 1925 season will be one of the greatest seen in New York since tennis took its place as one of the major sports. Up at the new courts on 14646 and 147th streets, being constructed by Edmunds & Spooner, the proprietors told the writer that there will be big doings when the gates are thrown open on Saturday. The public is invited to this event; no admission is charged and all are welcome. The ceremonies will start at 4 o'clock P. M. and it is expected that an address will be given by his Honor John F. Hylan, Mayor of the city, who has promised to be present with other city officials, if it is possible. There will also be a large gathering of representative people of our race, chief among whom will be found; Rev. Chas. Martin, Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, Assemblyman Pope B. Billupe, Alderman John W. Smith, Dr. Charles H. Roberts, recent candidate for U. S. Congressman from the 21st District; ex-Alderman Geo. W. Harris, Charles W. B. Mitchell, associate Republican leader of the 21st A. D.; Ferdinand Q. Morton, leader of the Colored Democracy; Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age; Win. Kelley, editor, and Romeo L. Dougherty, sporting editor, of the New York Amsterdam News, and many other dignitaries of colored Harlem. A feature of the opening will be several match games between the leading colored players and high-ranking players of the white race in the metropolitan district. Ex-champion Edgar G. Brown, State Singles Champion Eyre Scalle, State Doubles Champion (with Scalce) Geo. Smith, Edger Gomes, Fred Johnson, Mrs. Lottle Wade, state ladies' singles champion, are among those that will be seen in action. This feature is one that we have looked forward to for many years and while we have always been assured that such competitions would be arranged for us by the executives of the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association any time we desired it, we could not take advantage of the offer, through the lack of facilities and equipment, such as lockers, showers, etc., that go to make an up-to-date tennis ground. We are told that these deficiencies will be taken care of on these new grounds, and, if this is done, one of the most serious obstacles to our progress will be removed and we will be given a chance to compete against the more experienced white players and should benefit by this competition. We trust that the players and fans will come out strong on Saturday to show the men back of this project, who have spent lots of money in their effort to put 'New York back on the tennis map when we were all but off, that their work is appreciated. The Ideal Tennis Club opened the 1925 season on their grounds on West 136th street on Saturday, May 9. Just a year ago this would have been quite an event, for then it was the muses of all things in tennis in Harlem. This year, instead of five courts, with several hundred players waiting for their turn to take the kinks out of arms and legs, it was only two courts and only the members of the Ideal Club ready to go through. The passing of these grounds, just begun by the loss of three courts, is almost sad; but when we realize that their loss has been occasioned through the building of new apartment houses for our people, we cannot shed a tear; then, again, their loss has been entirely compounded by the seven new and beautiful courts being constructed by Edmunds and Spooner at 1648 and 147th streets, and by next Saturday there will be nine courts for use of colored Harlem in the neighborhood, as against five last year. The Granville and St. Thomas Tennis clubs, two of the most popular clubs, which were forced into inactivity as clubs through the loss of their grounds, are again to the front this year, and will be seen up at the new grounds. The members of these clubs were forced to connect with other clubs the past years, but have again rallied to their colors and will make a bid for popularity and honors during 1993.

Since they closed the most successful season of any basketball five invading the ranks of the professional players, the Renaissance Big Five went under cover, "sawed wood" and, when the time was ripe, they came to the fore with a rush that carried everything before it. We had been led into believing that Fletcher Henderson was about to leave town and make no other appearance in the big city. But the fact that; has Roseland Orchestra, which he will personally lead at Manhattan Casino for the Renaissance Big Five on the night of May 30, proves this claim to be somewhat "previous." Mr. Henderson says he will positively be in this old town to appear for the boys of the Renaissance Big Five and, to cap the cli-max in securing something out of the ordinary for the thousands of friends who supported them all last Winter, the boys have secured Alex Jackson and his Ten Ducky Broadcasters to join with the Henderson outfit and make Decoration Day night the biggest thing in the city. The old guard will be out that night and, with "Smiliea" Bob Douglas again on the bring line, it should be the real "mia" of affection of this kind. Preparations are on foot to make this big dance and reception something to stand out in the nature of a mark of appreciation on the part of the world's champions for the support of good old Gotham. Farr Wins Harlem Pocket Billiard Championship The long-drawn-out rivalry for the championship of Harlem's pocket billiardists was satisfactorily settled, at least for the present, when, on the evening of May 6, 7 and 8 at the Lafayette Billiard Emporium, in a 300-point match game Lindsey Farr defended Toy Edwards, 300 to 184. While Toy's score does not look so good here, there is no reason why there should not be a return game between these two. With a little more attention to his practice games, Toy will do much better. He showed a decided amount of nervousness each evening, while Farr was cool and played consistently. The large audience was well pleased and demonstrated it by their frequent applause, which both players received. Mr. Martin Norman gave satisfaction as referee, Mr. J. Trent as co- FARR. H. R. In'ga.

THE SERGEANT K.O.'S BUCK ARBUCKLE Black Bill to Appear This Saturday Night NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1928 Soldier and Athlete, 'Sharkey' Was a Well Known Figure in Harlem Life Until Claimed by Dread Not since the passing of Harry Trot, Foley and some of the other well known boys who helped to make athletic history in the early days has the passing of an athlete occasioned so much sorrow when news from his home announced the death of Herman (Sharkey) Foster. Taking his place along with Roy Morse and the other well-known athletes in the early days of the Salem-Crescent Club, Foster won renown and many were the victories he brought to the colors of the Salem-Crescent Club. In later years he became affiliated with the St. Christopher Club of St. Philip's Parish and the qualities that won him the continued favor of his fellows and the Rev Cullen while in Salem soon brought him to the fore in the Parish House. When the 15th Infantry was formed, Foster was among the first to join the famous "Heil Fighters" and when they were mustered into the regular service Foster went right along. Answering the call of his country with this famous regiment, he went to France. Like many of his fellows, he was gassed and returned to America in the early stages of that dread disease which has claimed so many after the horrors of war. Foster went under the care of Dr. Hudson Oliver. himself an athlete of great renown in his school days at Howard University and one who brought to his patient an understanding and sympathetic feeling which we firmly believe had much to do in prolonging the life of "Sharkey." But the case was hopeless: it was only a matter of time and death claimed him at 135 West 125th street last Friday night while he slept. At the above address Foster lived with his mother for many years, and it was only the close bond between son and mother that kept him from going West seeking that health which was his before he gave his all for his country. Lincoln Nurses Fare Well Despite the many other dances on the program last Friday night, the Annual Blue Bird Dansant of the Lincoln Hospital Alumnae Association turned out to be one of the most successful affairs of the season. A crowd, among which all professional stages of life were represented, enjoyed the splendidly arranged evening. Renaissance Casino was hardly large enough to comfortably accommodate the turnout Alderman John William Smith spoke of his efforts to interest every Alderman in the Bronx to fight to keep the Lincoln Hospital, which has been ordered closed January 1, 1926, open; and of the untiring work of the alumnae to pursue the members of our race to do what they can to help. Due so a sudden throat affliction and the refusal of the crowd in the balcony to keep quiet, only those who gathered at the foot of the stage were able to hear the honorable Alderman. Bill Brown's Brownies offered a program of dance music, which was pleasing to all present; few left before "Home Sweet Home." Happyland Opens May 16 The great Happyland Park of a thousand-odd entertainment attractions for its Summer crowds has, after three seasons of Harlem success, begun to pitch its canopies, merry-go-rounds, dance pavilion, serial awings, motor launches and concessional tents in a larger, cooler, right-by-the-river spot. 155th street, just at the foot of Central Bridge. Happyland will be conducted under the same progressive management as heretofore, which, within itself, guarantees a safe, same playground to children and adults alike. The grounds are now in preparation for an auspicious opening, this Saturday, May 16. Nursery Dance a Success A typical "Hope Day affair" was staged at the New Star casino, when the Twenty-third Annual May Entertainment of the Hope Day Nursery for Colored Children was presented and attended by one of the largest crowds in the history of the organization. Delightful scenes, were enacted, as seen by the smiling faces of the embryonic song and dance artists in a well-balanced program staged under the direction of Mike Thalman Whittaker, assisted by Wives Rose Oiley and Anna Small. Twenty-one numbers, consisting of practically every variety of singing and dancing, gave the parents and friends of the performing into something to be proud of, and due routine of the young prodigies. The general work of the organization for the past year has been its best and, with its public presentation, they felt more justified and positive in making it another great achievement.

This attraction is scheduled for another extended engagement on Broadway, in preparation for which a brand new program of fun, songs and dances will be presented during the Brooklyn engagement by the entire New York cast and augmented orchestra. In a description of "The Chocolate Dandies" it is not easy to get down to particulars. One carries away an impression of affection at the flexbustible vitality of these wonderful Dixie performers who fling themselves into their performance with an abandon unknown to their white brethren. They do not know how to spare themselves and give what theatrical folk call "a lot of show" in the course of an evening. The book is a funny story dealing with the comic actualities of Negro life, and has for its unifying thread a genuine horse race, with real thoroughbreds, ridden by real jockeys.

Eddie "Kid" Wagner, Philadelphia lightweight, was the winner over Joe Hall, colored, of Buffalo, last Saturday night, in the feature 12-round bout at the Commonwealth S. C., Harlem, in a strong finish in the last six rounds. The Buffalo fighter put up a game scrap in the first half of the battle, fighting back with fury until he tired in the latter half of the bout. Wagner put up his usual type of battle, working in close and hammering both hands to the body. It was continual hammering to the midriff that won the scrap in the final sessions. Wagner weighed 134½ and Hall was 135. In the semifinal event listed for a dozen rounds, Sergeant Sammy Baker, the hard hitting soldier boy from Mitchel Field, added another knockout to his list by flattening Buck Arbuckle, of San Francisco, in the tenth session. Arbuckle had won every start in the East until bumping into Baker, but the Sergeant proved too hard a puncher, wearing him down in the earlier rounds, and battering him into a helpless condition. The time of the knockout was 1.11, in the tenth. Baker welighed 147½, and Arbuckle was 146¾.

Eddie Munson was on the bell, and Pete Prenny did the announcing. Eddie Flank's legion of admirers are bubbling over with enthusiasm, confident that their Harlem idol will put an awful crimp into the championship aspirations of Al Brown, the colored title holder, when they swing into action in the final ten-round bout at the Commonwealth Sporting Club in Harlem on Saturday night. Flank has been seeking this opportunity for several months, and now that the chance is at hand he has tipped off his friends to watch him do his stuff against the colored phenom. Black Bill, the Cuban fly and bantam champion, who again demonstrated that he is a mittwider of the highest order when he gave Wee Wille Woods a boxing lesson the other night, is working hard preparing for his mix-up with little Joe Dillon, whose aggressive style of milling makes him a dangerous proposition for the beat of them. The Cubans are going to be on hand en masse to watch Black Bill go. Not only that, but down in Cuba the fans are awaiting anxiously the outcome of the match, as they are acquainted with Dillon's style and know him to be a dangerous customer.

Let us be retrospective before we go deeply into the things which we are about to record for those who can run and at the same time read. Some years ago the athletic clubs of Greater New York and New Jersey formed a combination to drive the writer of these amusement pages to the tall uncut and withdrew during the basketball season between seventy and one hundred dollars' worth of advertising a week. We stood firm by our guns, fired when fired upon and after the leaders of the clubs woke up to the realization that those prompting them to train their guns on us were the real enemies, the combination reversed and we have been the favored one ever since. Then came the time when some of the leading Negro colleges sent their basketball teams to this city to appear before four and five thousand people. We were the moving spirit of these affairs and soon our enemies were at work again. This time they told the "man behind the money" that we were derelict in our duties to him. Time, the healer of all fills, soon got in her good work and again we became the favored one; even to this day the gentleman who put up the moneys to make possible those games which gave New York pleasure and thrills gives us first consideration. Down here on 135th street stands the Commonwealth Sport Club, presided over by Jess McMahon, a mighty square man with whom we have been associated for nigh on these many years. The dear boys got to working again, but McMahon, being wise in the ways of some of us, turned a deaf ear and we have been the favored son right along. And all because we have stood for what we believe to be right. Recently the descendants from that crawling reptile which tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden poked their heads to the fore and for the present imagine they are making headway. Our good friend, a certain theatrical manager, has been made to see that we cannot mean him any good and all the harm in the world. And this is easy for the unwary to fall for. Unlike our crawling, creeping friends, we have taken a stand in trying to point out what we believe would be of great benefit to the manager we have in mind, instead of simply smiling, shouting "GREAT" and letting it go at that, swayed by the personal interest which would see us benefiting in spite of the trend of things. But we have been in favor at this theatre, and here the dear boys again felt that it would be well to place the proverbial spoke in our wheel. It is natural that any man would for a time succumb to an intensified bombardment, but after the surface is scratched and it is seen that there is good reason for ENVY by those who would be envious, we will come up smiling as in the past. We have no doubt of it. Right will always triumph. We have always considered it unfair to grab what gain we could and keep silent when an honest opinion voiced would have a tendency to bring about a better understanding and do good in spite of our friends, who for the moment believe that we are against them. To a man whose vision becomes dimmed by the poisoned darts of those who would strike us in the dark, as is to be expected of such reptiles, it is hard to see anything good in what we might say, but the calm mind in a receptive mood reads between the lines, then comes the awakening. We have had no bed of roses in reaching that little success which many tell us we have managed to grasp during the time we have been in the game; nor do we expect to continue on a smooth path in spite of the headway made, for even the appearance of success will be the means of sending our enemies on a rush to those places where they believe too much consideration is being shown to us. It has ever been thus. Last week General Manager Shipman, the live wire of the Leo Broecher interests, who until recently controlled the Roosevelt, Douglas and Odeon Theatres and continue their control over the Apollo and Plaza Theatres, came in to have a talk and let us know of the plans about to be put into effect. We have to smile as we look back over our connections with the Broechar people. Readers of the Amsterdam News need not be reminded of the strong stand we have from time to time taken against these same people. We have said things that would have turned others against us for life, yet we have never ceased to be on the friendliest of terms and it is with a great sense of appreciation that we recall the time when these same people, feeling that we were honest in our opinions, gave us first consideration. "We are not spending any money for advertising at this time," said Manager Corsin, of the Roosevelt, some time ago. "but we want you to come to the Roosevelt in person for at least five minutes every night." We went to the Roosevelt and was allowed as fine a salary as any man ever received for the short time we put in, which did not include Sundays. Ah yes, it is good to look back and then go over the road with General Manager Shipman, who is one of the finest examples of hustling young American manhood it has ever been our pleasure to meet. And so on down the line. Mrs. Downs has shown us rare consideration. Manager Snyder and Mrs. Regan have never tailed us and we laugh at the idea of any one trying to poison them against us. YET A FEW MONTHS AGO WE RAN AN ARTICLE IN THESE VERY COLUMNS ABOUT THE LINCOLN THAT WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE EARTH CRASHING AGAINST OUR EARS HAD IT BEEN IN REFERENCE TO "THE BIG THEATRE." Of Mr. Eckert, at the Franklin, and his charming and energetic daughter. Mrs. Ewald, we can say the same. Wherever we have happened to be we could always number them among our friends. Yes, Mr. Manager, this man of whom you have heard and to whom you have shown a tendency to show that consideration which we always received FROM EVERY THEATRE IN THE EAST CATERING TO NEGROES must pay the price and no doubt his enemies are legion, but as long as we enjoy the blessings of the Great Unseen in health and maintain our position, WE ARE GOING TO DEFEAT THEM NOW AS WE HAVE IN THE PAST. We say now what we have found pleasure in the past of saying of you, and that is that you have faced the obstacles with a smile and are deserving of success, but you need to be warned to be on your guard, for they tried the same thing with Robert Levy and that is why in his absence we can always find a good word to say of him today. What ho, my worthless? My mind is undimmed by the alcoholic beverages which seem to be a part of your very lives. I engage not in games of chance seeking to get rich by the easiest way. Vampire women mean nothing in our lives, and we seek not the notoriety which but for a moment heats. What them? Ha, we gaze upon God's green earth and there amid the flowers gain inspiration for what we do. HAMPTON STUDENTS PRESENT JAP.

Continuing: "But Jim, who ran away when he was sixteen and wrecked the family fortune, comes back to open arms and warm hearts. Why is it, anyhow?" There followed then a little philosophical study of human nature. "It seems to me that it's a play," the actor answered his own question. "A family usually places a halo of romance over the head of the black sheep. They think he has suffered. Maybe he has. Maybe he deserved it. But with all this carving of the fatted calf going on, I believe somebody ought to set up a banquet for John once in a while.

There have been girls who have attracted attention through personal beauty or grace of movement, but producers have been merciless in affording them opportunity to show any cleverness. There is one chorus girl in "The Chocolate Dandies," the speedy musical melange scheduled to appear at Werba's Brooklyn Theatre, for all of next week, who, in the language of the Rialto, is a riot. She is Josephine Baker. Miss Baker is tall, slight of figure and long of limb. She seems as pliable as a rubber hand. Her gyrations are comic to the last degree. Some people call her the chocolate edition of Charlotte Greenwood and there are others with long memories who say that she is a bronze counterpart of a celebrated French eccentrique. Pasquerette, who came to this country years ago. The young woman makes her appearance with a bevy of dancing girls and boys in "The Charleston Dance." one of the early scenes in the piece, and she isn't on the stage three minutes before every one in the audience is glancing at the program to learn who she is. At no time during the swiftly moving comedy does Miss Baker work alone, she injecting her dances into the ensemble numbers. Her imitations of the classic dances are exceedingly droll. Miss Baker, who is still in her teens, was born in St. Louis, and she thinks she was born dancing. The manager of a little tabletowl show heard of her in St. Louis and engaged her for his company. For a year the young girl appeared with this company four times a day in the vaudeville houses of the Middle West and South. She got as far East as Philadelphia when "The Shuffle Along" people saw her and engaged her for their No. 2 company. She remained with this company just a "few minutes," being transferred to the No. 1 organization. Miss Baker has a sweet voice, loves jazz, but confesses that the sweetest music in the world is that of a burst of applause. And as she hears this music frequently she should be very happy. There followed then a little philosophical study of human nature. "It seems to me that it's a pity," the actor answered his own question. "A family usually places a halo of romance over the head of the black sheep. They think he has suffered. Maybe he has. Maybe he deserved it. But with all this carving of the fatted calf gagging on, I believe somebody ought to set up a banquet for John once in a white. He may not wear his hat at a raking angle, or speak strange words in a foreign tongue, but he keeps his feet on the ground and his head is on his shoulders steadily all the time. Frankly, I'm strong for John." Which is an odd enough view of the matter for O'Brien, considering that he throws himself so heartily into his part as the blackshoe son in "The Man Who Came Back."

A. Hann Elizabeth Welch Marde Brown Bill Grundy "Pudden Jones" Scores as Delightful Little Farce The Miller and Lyles Show Is Deserving of Support of Their Own, as It Stands the Test We journeyed to the Lafayette Theatre last Monday night expecting to be entertained by the new farce from the pen of Flournoy Miller, who, we understand, had the assistance of his partner, Aubrey Lyle, in getting it together, and we were not disappointed in the least. The only thing that caused regret within us was the usual lack of attendance. Looking about the theatre and taking particular note of the lack of interest on the part of colored Harlem for these shows would naturally arouse regret in the heart of any one desirous of seeing the largest house here catering to our people so empty on occasions when those behind the venture look for better support. We are now taking our own to task and hope our good friends will not see in this an attempt to "knock" the Lafayette. Far from it. Good business at the Lafayette enlives things on Seventh avenue and quite a few share in the profits, directly or indirectly; hence, when such a poor audience as we judged from the orchestra "sat in," it is time to rise and ask Harlem what is the matter. During the past few months no show has come into this theatre that has put the house to any task in handling the patronage. Once upon a time the "Standing Room Only" sign was to be seen often, but, even though "Hairless Rounder" opened with a big house on a holiday night, it has never been the same since. We believe that the Lafayette Theatre is passing through the same crisis as the Dunbar Theatre in Philadelphia. On account of lack of support, Gibson was forced to keep the house dark for many months, and it was not until the drama was revived did the Dunbar and it possible to attract any houses. We are told by friends of Robert Levy on this end that things are not so forty at the Dunbar, yet the fact remains that the players have been at this same house for the past fifteen weeks and Mr. Gibson has not an yet reached that stage where he would be willing to throw away good money just to prove to us that he can keep the Dunbar open. The poor house on Monday night that saw "Pudden Jones" has been in evidence every Monday night now for the past few months. and it usually presages a lack of that full patronage which should be the reward for commendable efforts. But back to the show: "Pudden Jones" is a character we like to see on the stage, for he gives great possibilities for fun, and it took the wily Flournoy to marshal all these forces latent in such a character to get the best out of it. Under the prevailing conditions we think the vehicle something out of the ordinary and the work of each and every individual stood out, no matter how small the part. dissertation on the full merits of "Pudden Jones," but we take pleasure in recommending it to those desirous of witnessing a good show. The cast includes: Richard N. Gregg, Hannlett Loveless, Edna Lewis Thomas, Lela Brogdon, Monte Hawley, Lorenzo McLane, Marie Young, George Duke, and Percy Verwayne.

Dr. J. L. Bentley, with a counterpart in the Famous Bloed Herbarium of Life, was called in to dress the wound and found that the patient was suffering with a fractured skull and concussion on the brain. It was started in on this new case with a determination to bring about satisfactory results; and at the end of thirty days the patient was not only completely cured, but her hair the brushed spot had grown to such a degree that she was surrounded the curiosity of both her family and Dr. Delano, so much so that the doctor questioned her as to what was it that she had been using on her hair. The doctor was then told that she had only been using the ointment prescribed by the doctor. A Page of Interest to Women and the Home at a party yesterday in their home. 90 West 134th street.

On every clear night we can lift our eyes to the star-strewn firmament and with humility survey the magnificent stretch of suns and constellations that so majestically exhibit the power of the Father. If the stars were to appear but one night in the year, with what anticipation would we look forward to the event and how lovingly would we preserve remembrance of it. Yet every unclouded evening this mighty spectacle invites our contemplation, and how many respond, save the patient seekers after truth, to whom the wonder of the heavens is unending: The scope of the universe as revealed by modern science staggers the imagination. Vaast distances, enormous velocities, colossal dimensions fascinate and terrify the swooning mind appalled at such presences. How great, how unspeakably great, must be the intelligence that designed this subline creation! What astounding facts are disclosed as the telescopes sweep the sky and the reverent astronomers seek to better delpher the profound pages of the stars! The universe is built up of an incalculable succession of cosmic units which at each stage make larger units as electrons make up atoms, atoms make up molecules, molecules make up worlds, worlds make up solar systems, solar systems make up galaxies, galaxies make up supergalaxies, and so on, each unit being separated from its neighbors by immense distances. As far as man's ability to determine its true magnitude is concerned, it can rightly be said that the universe is infinite in extent, for if there are any physical limits to it they are so supremely, utterly remote no instrument can be devised capable of ascertaining its real size. Right here I will make a starting statement which may be ridiculed by those having scientific knowledge; nevertheless I speak seriously and affirm the universe is in the human form and is seen by God as a gigantic man-shaped figure. This is speculative and not scientific, but it is a rational hypothesis, for you can advance no sound reason why it should not have such a form. I reiterate, the great universe is in the human form, with the Creator at the head of it, and He, propelled by will-power, is forever rushing through space and the physical and spiritual PORO Grace Gardin HAIRDRESSER Now at 109 W. 139th ST.

How large is the universe? Einstein says it is millions of light years in extent, but I feel sure he is woefully short of the unbelievable truth. I believe the universe is billions of parsecs in extent. A parsec is a new astronomical unit of measurement whose equivalent in miles is 19.182.000.000. This is overwhelming beyond grasp, but what else could you expect from such a mighty being as the living God of heaven and earth? Let us consider the Clouds of Magellan, those luminous jewels of the sky by which many a helmsman has steered his course over the wide waters of the ocean. Astronomers are beginning to learn amazing facts concerning them.

It is composed of hundreds of thousands of suns among them, being around 300 monster suns, each of which is 50,000 times brighter than our sun. The large cloud is distant about 34.5 kiloparsecs and covers a vast space. These stupendous universes are so far away they are seen in the heavens as little shining clouds. About ten times as far away as the small cloud we find the spiral nebulae, which research shows are great universes also. The number of spiral nebulae is very large, amounting to hundreds of thousands. They are one million light years away. That is to say, that light, which travels 126,000 miles a second, requires a million years to reach the earth. We are seeing these objects as they looked a million years ago. We dwell in a galaxy having a million or more suns in it. It is an oval much longer than it is wide. It is probably 300,000 times 5,865,696,000 miles long.

Poetically speaking, about the stars there is a pitying caloofness from man and his pettiness. Thousands of generations have mingled their dust with the earth's, their names and histories forgotten of men, but Arcturus and the Pleiades are still shining with the same cold splendor as in the primal days of Eden.

"Builder of Note and Ex- exclusive Gowns of All Kinds" Bishop P. A. Wallace Concludes N. J. Conference of A.M.E. Zion Churc By WILLIAM H. FERRIS. A. M. Nearly two hundred ministers and delegates attended the fifty-second session of the New Jersey Annual Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, held in the St. Paul A.M.E.Z. Church of Trenton, N. J., from May 6th to 10th. Rt. Rev. P.A. Wallace, A.M., D.D., of Brooklyn, N. Y., sat as the Presiding Bishop. Dr. J. E. Rodgers and Dr. W. H. Langford were the Presiding Elders and Rev. I. B. Turner the local pastor in charge. Promptly at 10.30 a.m. Wednesday morning, May 6. Bishop Wallace called the conference to order in one of the largest and most beautiful colored churches in New Jersey, which Rev. Turner has erected during the past year. Rev. J. A. B. Cole, of Paterson, N. J., who has built a $40,000 church in Paterson during the past year, preached the opening sermon. The conference workers, district of officers of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society and the Varick Christian Endeavor were heard. Mrs. I. T. Wallace, the wife of the bishop, the president of the W. H. and F. M. Society of the Seventh Episcopal District; Mrs. Flo After the Holy Communion had been served, Bishop Wallace formally organized the conference. The following officers were elected: W. B. Baker, chief secretary; F. H. Allayne, recording secretary; Mrs. ida T. Wallace, secretary to the bishop; Rev. J. E. Robinson, statistician; W. H. Ferris, reporter to the press, and R. Taylor, J. A. Kerr and E. A. Carroll, usher. The committees were appointed and the conference and personal claims collected. Then Rev. I. B. Turner, the local pastor, acted as master of ceremonies for the addresses of welcome. He introduced the Hon. Mayor F. W. Donnelly as the first speaker. His address fell like a bolt from the blue and, instead of getting off the usual hackneyed and conventional stuff and including the usual platitudes, commonplaces and trulsims, Mayor Donnelly described his recent trip to Kingston, Jamalaea, and Costa Rica, contrasting the colored man's opportunities in America with his poverty in the West Indies. He spoke of the low wages paid in Kingston and Jamaica. In conclusion, he said, "I am interested in the elevation of humanity. I want all men to be regarded as human beings. I want all men to participate in the blessings of this country on an equal footing. That is what Abraham Lincoln talked about. That is what Woodrow Wilson promised to give the world, but did not. But it will come. A man's place should be determined by his own ability and his own ambitions, his own energy and his own character. There is a place for everybody in this world regardless of race, creed or color. Mrs. L. Gray and Rev. J. A. White, of the Shiloh Baptist Church, who was a student at Lincoln University at the time Bishop Wallace attended that institution, and Rev. J. Brown also gave addresses of welcome. Dr. W. H. Davenport, the editor of the Star of Ziop, the official organ of the church, was introduced by Bishop Wallace to respond to the addresses of welcome. In the course of his address, Mr. Davenport said that "North Carolina alone has appropriated $15,000,000 for Negro education. In North Carolina colored high schools can be found with 20 or 25 teachers. The Zion conference in New Jersey represents the oldest incorporated Negro church in the world. We were incorporated in New York in 1801; someone else was incorporated in 1816. We have over 3,000 pastors of churches. 12 schools and 12 bishops. Thursday Session — Thursday many distinguished visitors, bishops and divines were introduced to the conference. Bishop J. S. Caldwell of Philadelphia, the senior bishop; Bishop Geo. W. Blackwell, Philadelphia; Bishop W. T. Kyles, of Winston-Salem, N. C.; Dr. W. H. Goker, the financial secretary; Dr. P. M. Jacobs, the general secretary; Dr. W. O.

The church was again crowded to the very doors at the evening session with the Rt Rev. P. A. Watson presiding. He introduced the Hon. N. K. Bughee. State Controller, who told of his interest in the colored people and his faith in the church and school. the conference workera, district officers of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society and the Varick Christian Endeavor were heard. Mrs. I. T. Wallace, the wife of the bishop, the president of the W. H. and F. M. Society of the Seventh Episcopal District; Mrs. Florence Randolph, the general supervisor for the New Jersey conference; Mrs. Ida R. Hark, Mrs. M. Batchelor, the supervisor of the Camden district, and Mrs. A. Wheeler, captain of supplies, represent a capable, efficient and serious personnel and are planning an aggressive educational and moral campaign for Zion Methodism in New Jersey. The new Lincoln School auditorium was filled to the overflowing point Friday night to listen to the conference star concert, with Rev. J. E. Rodgers and Rev. L. E. Turner the committee. Bishop Wallace George Saturday the Rt. Rev. P. A. Wallace delivered the Episcopal address. After speaking in a complementary manner of the local work and the general conference, he touched on vital themes. He said, "The church of Jesus Christ must always stand against crime and all forms of lawlessness. It seems that respect for law and order is breaking down in America. We are fast becoming a lawless nation. Crimes of violence, bootlegging and other forms of lawlessness are rampant among us while the harbariic practice of lynching and burning at the stake goes murmily on. "It seems to me to be a force for America to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to send missionaries to faraway lands to preach and teach the religion of the holy Nazarene until we first learn to live and practice it among ourselves." "America has no religion to export until she makes a better show- ing in practicing it here at home. The nath. are confused and dis- tressed. They are groping blindly in the dark trying every expe- ment to find a way out into the sun- shine of peace and prosperity. After the address, Mrs. Mollie Langford, the district superintendent of S. S., made her repeat. Bishop J. S. Caldwell, of Philde- phila, prescheduled at the Sunday morning service in the St. Paul A. M. E. Z. Church. Dr. S. L. Corro- thera, of Newark, N.

Temple Emanu-el Lauds Burleigh Temple Emanu-El, one of the most prominent Jewish congregations in New York City, has presented to the colored singer, Harry T. Burleigh, a testimonial, inscribed on parchment and bound in gold-touched morocco leather, acknowledging his 25 years of uninterrupted service as singer and composer in the choir of the Temple. Mr Burleigh, who was similarly honored upon the completion of 30 years' service in the choir of St George's Church, was awarded the Spingarn Medal in 1917. The Temple Emanu-El testimonial to Mr. Burleigh is signed by Louis Marshall, president of the congregation, who is also a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored ePeople. Mr. Lyon's Recital Lavitius Lyon, tenor soloist of St Mark's M. E. Church, received an ovation Sunday afternoon at his first recital given at Grace Congregational Church. The large and select gathering of music lovers of both races called for encore after encore and at the close of the recital would not budge from their seats until three additional numbers had been given. Mr. Lyons has a well-trained voice of haunting sweetness which his repertoire of French, Italian and English selections seemed especially to have brought out. These included: All acquisto di Gloria, from the opera "Tigrane," Alessandro Scarlatti; Ponate, denature, from the cantata "La Serenata," Glo, Battista Bassani; Vittorio, mio core!

Lawrence Brown accompanied in his usual masterly manner. Robeson-Brown in Third Recital Sunday Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown will make their third public appearance in a program of all-Negro music on Sunday evening, May 17, at 8:30 p. m., at the Forty-eighth Street Theatre. The immediate success of these two young artists, as evidenced by the capacity houses which they drew at the Greenwich Village Theatre on April 19 and May 3, has already brought them a number of private engagements, and has aroused the interest of several musical managers. The recital at the Forty-eighth Street Theatre has been arranged as a benefit for its music school by the Christador, a House Settlement, but no advance on the regular theatre prices is being asked, and it is hoped that New Yorkers will again show their appreciation of the beauty of Negro music and of the art of Mr. Brown and Mr. Roboson by filling the house to capacity. The program will include compositions of Will Marion Cook and J. Rosamond Johnson as well as the traditional Negro airs arranged by Harry T. Burleigh and Lawrence Brown. Julius Bledsoe Scores Triumph in New Bedford Julius Bledsoe, colored baritone, achieved a remarkable success in his recital on April 30 under the guapies of the Burleigh Club, in New Bedford, Mass. Commenting on the affair, the Morning Mercury, a local white daily, said: "Julius Bledsoe is 27-young for the accomplishment in polish, command of languages and vocal technique that he displayed in the splendidly satisfying four groups he contributed to the program. He interrupted a course in medicine at Columbia to give himself wholly to the career in music that lies unmistakably before him. He has sung in Acadian Hall and the Town Hall, New York, in the last two seasons, making his debut last year. He has also filled engagements in the West. "His voice has been likened to a 'collo. It resembles many beautiful instruments. To one it may suggest an oboe; another may find in it the warmly muted eloquence of one of the brasses played, he it understood, by a master. He has a mezzo-voice in the higher register that enriches; head-tones that carry his register up in astonishing evenness." Of the entire performance the Morning Mercury remarks that "no memory of it remains except that it was one of the most perfect and enthralling performances we remember in the concert hall." THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News HISTORICAL SOCIETY IS LAUNCHED AT LIBRARY Owners of Large Collections of Books on Negro Make Contributions to New Department of 135th St. Branch. The Negro Literary and Historical Society, organized for the purpose of preserving records of the race, made its debbut Thursday evening at a meeting held at the West 133rd Street Public Library. The speakers of the evening were: Miss Ernestine Rose, librarian; Prof. Alain Locke, of Howard University; Dr. Hubert Harrison, of the lecture staff of the Board of Education, and Prof. Frederick F. Hopper, of the main library. Arthur Schomburg presided. One of the main purposes of the society is the founding of a library for research on the Negro. A large number of books lent or donated by Arthur Schomburg, Dr. Harrison, Rev. Charles Martin, George M. Young and others have already been collected on the top floor of the library. The collection will be under the special care of the public library. Speaking on the enlightenment such a collection might shed on knowledge of the Negro, Dr. Harrison cited the case of the New York Times, which recently, in one of its editorials, referred to British West Africa as being only a collection of trading posts. On this Dr. Harrison said: "With such a library the New York Times might hesitate to talk such placid nonsense at long range." "Culture," he went on, "did not originate with the white race. It is the product of the entire human race, dating back 250,000 years, in which the white race has been active for only 2,500 years." Speaking on the debt of America to the Negro, Dr. Hopper said: "I don't think that there is any other group in America that is contributing more to the cultural development of this nation than the Negro. I am proud that the New York Public Library is going to have a little part in the preserving of the records of the wonderful achievements of your race." Tributes were paid to the late John G. Bruce, whose efforts have contributed so much toward the present interest in Negro history, by Arthur Schomburg, president of the society, Prof. Locke and others. A feature of the evening was the presentation of a splendid silver loving cup to Dr. Paul Kellogg, editor of the Survey Graphic, by way of recognition for the work done by the Graphic in bringing about a better understanding between the races.

Y.W.C.A. to Build Girls' Dormitory Cost of Building and Equipment Will Be About $275,000 The Young Women's Christian Association of the City of New York yesterday announced that it had completed the fund needed for building a new residence for colored women, adjoining the Colored Women's Branch of the Y. W. C. A., at 179 West 137th street. As plans have been developed the land, building and equipment will cost approximately $275,000. The building will be a modern, well-equipped residence, housing 164 girls. It will include reception rooms and other features that will afford a home atmosphere for girls living there. As the building adjoins the Colored Women's Branch, all of the branch facilities will be available to the occupants of the residence. The opening of this residence will relieve an acute situation in the housing of colored women and girls who arrive in the city as strangers and who must live in rented rooms. The Colored Women's Branch of the Y. W. C. A. places as many of these girls as is possible through its Room Registry service, which investigates all rooms before they are listed as available for women. There has been great need, however, for a residence where the girls might have some home life under the best possible conditions. The Y. W. C. A. residence will be the largest of its kind in the city. The housing situation for colored women was so difficult during the war years that the Y. W. C. A. purchased an apartment house, which was converted into a dormitory for women. In the Fall of 1928 there was an opportunity to sell the property advantageously and to secure three 25-foot lots joining the Colored Women's Branch, at 179 West 127th street. The balance of the money received for the property was temporarily invested until, with the aid of a gift by Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., made in memory of his mother, who was greatly interested in the colored people, sufficient additional funds were secured for a new building. Francis Y. Jeannee is the architect. Contracts have not been let but construction will be under the direction of the Y. W. C. A. of the City of New York. Mrs. H. P. Roberts of the Colored Women's Branch is chairman of the committee in charge, which includes Mrs. William W. Rooster, Mrs. William S. Ladd, Mrs. Edward Townsend, and Mrs. William H. Wortham, chairman of the Committee of Management of the Colored Women's Branch, who succeeded Mrs. Emma B. Ransom as branch chairman and as a member of the Building Committee, with Mrs. Cecelia Cabanisse Saunders, General Secretary of the Colored Women's Branch, and Miss Florence B. Potter, Secretary for Housing and Room Registry of the Y. W. C. A. of the City of New York, as an officio member of the committee. Mrs. Pratler III.

F. D. D'Onofrio, the owner, who was suing them for an increase, has withdrawn his suit. When the case first appeared, in December, Justice Panken refused to accept D'Onofrio's statement as to an increase in the cost of running his buildings, and sent the case for trial. D'Onofrio then attempted to make a settlement with Attorney Charles Marks for the tenants. Failing to do so, he withdrew the case. Brothers Are Held for Jewelry Theft Accessed on the theft of jewelry and currency valued at $4,740, Ira Dickens, 31, 2024 Fifth avenue, and his brother, Eugene, 243 West 131st street were both held in $1,800 ball each for the grand jury by Magistrate Brodsky in Heights Court. Mrs. Molly Leffler, 1497 Madison avenue, said that she was visiting her daughter at 35 West 119th street, where she is employed, when she missed her handbag containing two diamond rings, a diamond stickin' and a bar pin and $260 in cash. On going to the switchboard Ira handed her the bag, but she found it empty, she said. Policeman Allan Cohn was summoned, who said that after a search of the basement and the elevator pit he found all of the jewelry except the bar pin, along with three $10 bills in the pit. Eugene declared that he was standing by his brother when he picked up the bag and it was empty. Both strongly maintained the bond. EARL PAPPY, ALLEGED FORGER, HELD IN BAIL Earl Pappy, age 27, of 245 West 187th street, waived examination when he was arraigned before Magistrate Levine in the West Side Court on a charge of forging the name of Alfred Lunt, the well-known actor, to hagging letters. Pappy was held in $5,000 ball to await the action of the grand jury. He was unable to furnish the ball. Both Lunt and Walter Huston, the actor, were in court prepared to testify against Pappy. Pappy saw Lunt in a show at Sing Sing while Pappy was an inmate there and after his release came to New York and asked the actor to help him go straight. Lunt gave him a few dollars and sent him on his way. He learned some time later that Pappy had presented himself to Huston, Roland Young, Glenn Anders and other actors with what purported to be letters from Lunt asking for head. Lunt saw Pappy in Grand Central Terminal on April 29 last and caused his arrest.

Approximately 100 shots were exchanged between county officers, Negro guards and oil workers. Judge George Coming East (COLUMBIAN Press Bureau.) WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11.—Memories of "Scholars" are soon to be recalled by Judge Albert B. George, of the Municipal Court of Chicago, who is to be the commencement orator, on June 15, of the graduation ceremony of the Show Junior High School of this city. Judge George, recently elected to the Chicago Beach by an overwhelming vote, is the first Negro Judge elected in the United States by the people's vote. He is a graduate of the old M Street High School of Washington. Laying aside his gavel on Commencement Day, Judge George will make a pictureque figure speaking to students and mingling again with the audience of old. Out of $3,000 Reported by 50 Teams One Colored Team Raised $1,650 for Presbyterian Hotel. In the drive for funds for the great medical center to be established in upper Manhattan by the Presbyterian Hospital, a single colored team, led by Dr. Louis T. Wright, has led the field, turning in far more than any other of the 50 teams canvassing the entire northern section of New York City. This achievement was announced amid thunderous applause at the initial drive dinner, held at the Royal Palms, where reports were made. The total reports of the men's division of Harlem, the Bronx, Washington Heights and Inwood, amounted to $2,431. The women's total was $600, making $3,031 for men and women combined. Of this total, the single Negro team turned in $1,650. The other members of Dr. Wright's team are: Dr. M. V. Boutte, Dr. George C. Booth, Dr. Allen B. Graves, Alan L. Dingle, John E. Nail and Walter White. Colored people are supporting the Presbyterian Hospital's drive for the greatest medical center in America because the hospital serves all people "without regard to race, creed or color." Presbyterian Hospital was established 52 years ago through the generosity of a man who was unable to get treatment elsewhere for a colored servant who was seriously ill.

Join Whites in Protecting Women David Parker, 26 years old, of 128 West 136th street, was mobbed and badly manhandled Thursday in the West Side subway at 72d street when accused by a young woman of annoying her in a crowded downtown Lenox avenue express. Negroes as well as white men and women, it is said, joined the group that mailed Parker. He was saved from serious injury by Traffic Policeman William Ehlers, hastily summoned from the street by the station agent. Mrs. Grace Richie, a widow, or 62 West 134th street, told Magistrate Levine in West Side Court she ignored Parker as long as she could. At 73d street, however, she lost her patience and slept his face. Practically every man in the car immediately came to her assistance, she said. Parker pleaded not guilty and was held in $500 bail for a hearing Thursday. RACCOON COAT CAUSES THREE TO BE HELD Edward Nickels, 19, and Herman Smith, 21, both of 2063 Madison avenue, and Zach Hosley, 28, 363 West 131st street, were all held in $2,500 bail, when arraigned in Harlem Court charged with the theft of a raccoon coat valued at $300 from Mrs. Mary Shavers of the Madison avenue address. The coat was recovered in the home of Mrs. Emma Moort, 58 East 101st street, who is said to have told the police that the coat was brought there by Nickels and Smith, both of whom are alleged to have admitted the theft, aided by Hosley.

Larry Woods, 23, 221 West 141st street, was held in $5,000 ball for a hearing on a similar charge. Woods, it is said, was driving a truck at 61st street and, second avenue when a trailer which was attached to it broke off, causing the death of John Aramburga, 50, 494 East 54th street.

"The destiny of a child depends on the first impression he receives from his mother. As we mold the figures out of clay, just as character molded. Self-denial, sacrifice and unchanging love make mother stand next to Jesus in the estimate of a treasure," he said. Rev. H. McNell, pastor of Bell A. M. E.

A. "If the soul is now immortal and not subject to death, the Bible falls to say so." declared Pastor Strachan Sunday night at the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church, 106-08 West 127th street. The pastor's theme was: "Does Man Possess Natural or Inhuman Immortality Now, or Must It Be Beaten Him at the General Resurrection?" The pastor began his discourse by quoting Dr. Albert Barnes as saying, "I see no light in the doctrine of lobberous immortality." He next quoted the noted German commentator, Olshausen, as saying, "The doctrine of the immortality of the soul is unknown to the Bible." Again he quoted Bishop Foster, of the Methodist Church, and Rev. J. E. Roberts, a prominent Baptist clergyman, as saying: "The doctrine of the pit: I have taught the doctrine in the seminary, but I now firmly believe it is a direct contradiction of the teaching of Christ." Pastor Strachan went on further to say that, "I have read my Bible from Genesis to Revelation, but I have never found written there the following expressions: immortal death, the death that unfed spirit." The death that never died. "The body only a cage in which the soul dwells." Union Baptist Usher Bd.

THIRD AVENUE BUCBS: Bully Teeth and Teeth Brownies BROKEN PLATES REPAIRED WHILE YOU WAIT What is regarded by many authorities as a new epoch in the relation between white and Negro workers in America was begun recently when, in the fourth annual convention in Philadelphia of the Workers' Education Bureau, a resolution was passed endorsing the development of courses of interracial and international adjustmentomened with the purpose of trade problems by leaders of labor movements.* This resolution was introduced at the request of T. Arnold Hill, director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, who, at the invitation of some of the members of the convention, attended the sessions. The text of the resolution is as follows: "Because of the very evident contribution the various races and nationalities are making to the development of the labor movement in all lands and the widespread misunderstanding and ignorance with reference to these contributions, we strongly recommend that worker education include a study of races and nationalities and their relationship to the labor Last Sad Rites for Monsignor Burke Funeral Services of Founder and Rector of St. Benedict the Moor Held in St. Patrick's. After nearly a half century of faithful and efficient work among colored people, principally in this city, Monsignor John E. Burke, secretary-general of the Catholic Poor for Mission Work Among the Colored People and head of the mission work in New York City, died peacefully at his home at 138 Rich street, Mt. Vernon, last Thursday. He was born in New York State 75 years ago and was rector of St. Benedict the Moor's, in 53d street, for 15 years. Monsignor Burke enjoyed the highest esteem and affection of both Catholics and Protestants. The body of the monsignor lay in state Sunday night in the Church of St. Benedict the Moor, which he founded in 1683 at Downing and Hleeker streets and in 1598 moved to its present location. The entire congregation was made up of several thousand, all of whom were colored. Many patrolmen from the West 42th street police station were required to keep traffic and the crowds moving. The funeral service was conducted by the Right Rev. Monsignor Joseph F. Delanay, D. D.; the Right Rev. Monsignor Francis H. Waka, D. D.; the Right Rev. Monsignor Chidwick, late chapain of the U. S. S. Maine, suak in Havana Harbor, and the Right Rev. Monsignor James N. Connellly in St. Patricks Cathedral. Monday. Twenty-five priests of the archdiocese of New York formed the priests' choir. Bishop Heard for National Church Here NEW YORK, N. Y., May 11 Bishop H. W. Heard of the A. M. E. Church has made several visits to this city looking over the church situation. He will soon have a council with his presiding elders with reference to the proposed A. M. E. Church here. The A. M. E.'s have Bethel Church on 132nd street, and Metropolitan on 132nd street, and two or three small missions. "The colored population has grown phenomenally since I first began to come to New York." said Bishop Heard. "And our churches must grow with it. There are 150,000 colored people in Harlem and only about 25 churches of any size. New York is greatly underchurched. Nearly every large church is filled to overflowing, and the people have nowhere to go. New York is different from many places, in that you rarely ever find a half filled or quarter filled church. New York could build ten large movement. This is especially essential in this country in view of the varied racial composition of American industry and the vital sympathies and concern of the American labor movement towards workers of all races." This paves the way for the introduction in the courses of study in labor colleges of lectures on relations between Negro workers and the labor movement and the contributions which Negroes as laborers have made and are making to the development of American life. Among those whom Mr. Hill interviewed prior to the introduction of the resolution to the Executive Committee, which in turn indorsed and presented it for final approval to open convention, were the following: John P. Frey, of the Molders' Union of North America; Miss Mary Van Kleeck, director of industrialization of the Russell Sage Foundation; Abraham Lefkowitz, legislative representative of the Teachers' Union; Matthew Woll, vice-president of the American Federation of Labor; David J. Sapos, instructor at Brookwood Workers' College, and Spencer Miller, Jr., secretary of the Workers' Educational Bureau. churches for our people and then not have enough.

PAINLESS TREATMENT ELEVEN M FELVK RHINELANDER RUMORS FLY THICK AND FAST Rumors concerning the action brought by Leonard Kip Rhinelander to annul his marriage to Alice Bristoe Jones of New Rochelle continues to fly thick and fast. One has it that relatives of the young cristostear are willing to settle a "handome" amount of money on Mrs. Rhinelander after the case is thrashed out in court. Rhinelander's counsel, Leon R. Jacobs, has served a notice of a motion to frame the issues upon Judge Samuel F. Swinburne, counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander, which will probably be argued on Friday. Six Important Questions. It is proposed by Mr. Jacobs in Try Magnesia for Stomach Trouble It Neutralizes Stomach Acidity, Prevents Food Fermentation, Sour Gassy Stomach and Acid Indigestion. Doubtless if you are a sufferer from indigestion, you have already tried pepsin, charcoal, drugs and various digestive agents, and you know these medicines will not cure your trouble—in some cases do not even give relief. But before giving up hope and deciding you are a chronic dyspeptic just try the effect of a little Bisurid Magnesia—not the ordinary commercial carbonate, citrate, or milk, but the pure Bisurid Magnesia which you can obtain from practically any drugist in either powder or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder or three compressed tablets with a little water after your next meal, and see what a difference this makes. It will instantly neutralize the dangerous, harmful acid in the stomach which now causes making gas, wind, fatulence, heartburn and the bloated or heavy,umpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat. You will find that provided you take a little Bisurated Magnesia immediately after a meal, you can eat almost anything and enjoy it without any danger of pain or discomfort to follow and moreover, the continued use of the Bisurated Magnesia cannot injure the stomach in any way so long as there are any symptoms of acid indigestion.

"Did the plaintiff enter into the said marriage in the full belief that the said defendant was white and without colored blood? Another question asked whether the plaintiff had condoned the alleged fraud. The formal reasons advanced by Jacobs in support of this motion are: "That this case is notorious and famous. The great American public, the state and society are vitally interested in the final outcome thereof. That both the plaintiff and the defendant should have knowledge whether they are husband and wife or not." The action was begun November 26. Trial is now sought for the early part of June.

Conference of Ohio Social Workers to Be Held in Columbus Next Week Conference of Ohio Social Workers to Be Held in Columbus Next Week (Preston News Service.) COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 11— Taking the study of Harlem in the Survey Graphic of March, 1925, as a reference, the third annual session of the Ohio Conference on Social measures in Columbus May 22, 23, 24, will be given to the discussion of race adjustment. In regard to this adjustment, special surveys are being made in the cities throughout the state where there are Negroes. These surveys will show in the settling of Negroes whether the trend is toward self-sufficiency, a city within a city, as in Harlem, or the opposite, as probably in Chicago; the character and quality of the Negro community in the various cities where such found; and the social groups and group groups; also their outreach and contact with labor unions, industry and charity. In addition addresses will be Negro Town Denies Segregating Whites One White Man Stayed Three Weeks in Boley, Okla., and Gained 13 Pounds. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, has received and made public to-day a letter from colored citizens of Boley, Okla., a Negro town, denying reports published in a local white paper to the effect that colored people had warned white men to stay out of the town after dark. The news item which the colored people object to stated that there was a sign across the main street of Boley, inscribed, "White Man, Don't Let the Sun Set on You." The colored people claim this report was sent out to prejudice the case they have taken to court involving denial of their registration rights. The colored people assert, however, that such a sign warning them away is displayed in the neighboring white town of Henryetta. The letter from the colored citizens of Boley is as follows: "We do not segregate any white man or any other nationality. We welcome them all our town. We want them to come to our town. But we would not advise a colored man to let the sun go down on him in Henryetta. "We really think the publisher made a mistake, intending to advise the colored man not to let the sun go down on him in Henryetta, when he said what he did about Boley. "From 15 to 15 white men and women visit Boley daily and sleep in our hotels, eat at our tables, and buy from our grocery stores, and are treated like any other human should be treated. We had one white man to board in our town three weeks and he gained 12 pounds. We had two weeks and lost five pounds, and we do not believe that any white man would tell you such a thing, if false." U. S. COURTS UPHOLD FLA. PEONAGE CASES PENSACOLA, FL. May 11—An attack on the validity of indictments charging eleven Caliboun County men with peonage involving the working of Negroes against their will in turpentine camps, failed in United States Court here Wednesday, when Judge W. B. Shephard ruled against a plea to quash the case. The trial was set for May 15. Among those indicted are three prominent turpentine operators, Alfred and Charles Land, M. B. Davis Sheriff C. D. Clark, Judge W. T. Chaffin, Attorney H. M. McClelland, and Deputy Sheriff Thomas E. Cason. The indictments allure cruel and inhuman treatment of certain Negro turpentine workers and abuse of the processes of State courts. Roger Baldwin to Address Harlem Forum One of the outstanding meetings of the current season will be the one on the evening of May 13 when the speaker of the evening will be Mr. Krug, the director of the Office of Civil Liberties, the secretary of the American Fund for Public Service. Mr. Baldwin is one of America's most noted radicals. ORIGIN OF MAN (Columbia Press Bureau.) WASHINGTON, D. G.-D. Aloe Hildkirch, who has headed expeditions of the United National Museum of Anthropology to many parts of the world, recently expressed the belief that previous research already have shown definitely that all human even, including African Negroes and white, had the same origin from a threshed ago, but that differences in subsequent intellectual development has caused the later model difference.

KLAN MOVES HEADQ'RTERS TO NATION'S CAPITAL Skeleton Crew Left in Atlanta—200 Workers to Push Lobbying in Washington. WASHINGTON, May 11. The Ku Klux Klan, abandoning its historic headquarters at Atlanta, Ga., has invaded the national capital. The secret order, believing it can best carry out its program through Federal legislation and political action national in scope, has established elaborate offices, housing the Imperial Wizard and a large staff of promoters and organizers in one of Washington's most pretentious office buildings, within the very shadow of the Capitol itself. It has left only a skeleton crew at Atlanta. National politicians, including those friendly and unfriendly to the Klan, were amazed to learn that the invisible empire had shifted the scene of its principal activities from the far South to north of the Mason and Dixon line and, particularly, to the seat, of the Federal Government. While it had been known that several Klan officials had taken offices here, there had been no indication until today that the organization had decided to center its vast operations at Washington. It is understood the change was decided upon following a closely guarded conference at which skilleges and dragons discussed and mapped out a program radically different from that pursued in the past. Political leaders, however, interpreted the move as designed to facilitate propagation of the Klan's ideas through national legislation. In the past the order has sought to attain its ends by legislative and political action in the separate States. In a downtown office building on Fifteenth street, almost within a stone's throw of the White House, and touching elbows with the various structures which house the Government's executive departments, H. W. Evans, the Imperial Wizard, together with his royal retinue and a trained staff of 200 workers, occupies offices respondent with pictures of flery crosses and sheeted Klaners. Around the headquarters today there appeared the bustle of an ordinary business concern or mall order house. Organizers and promoters working out of the national capital make their reports and receive assignments from the Imperial Wizard's lieutenant. The clerical staff exceeds in numbers even those maintained here during the height of a national campaign by either the Democratic or Republican National Committee. Except for the various Government departments, there is no fraternal or political organization in Washington equaling the Klan forces in size. As an indication of the permanency of the headquarters here, the Imperial Wizard has acquired a home in Washington. He spends almost all his time here, visiting Atlanta only at rare intervals. The imperial palace is maintained there merely because of a provision in the original constitution which designates that city as the official headquarters. It is understood this clause will be revoked in the original klonization 1938, and, in such an event the imperial palace will be evacuated in Washington. Among Klansmen. Evans' home here already is recognised as the imperial palace. (Staff Correspondence to the M. V. Correspondence to the M. Y.

LOUIS, Mo., May 11. -Clarence Cooper, aged 24 years, received a flesh wound in the left arm Thursday night when he was shot while resisting an attempted hold-up by two white men. Cooper and Robert O'Dell, aged 45 years, messenger for the St. Louis County Bank of Clayton, had stopped at the intersection of two roads to repair a tire on Cooper's machine, in which they were riding, when the two bandits approached. Both were carrying revolvers, but when they attempted to search Cooper and O'Dell, Cooper grappled one of the bandits and a scuffle ensued. The other bandit, who was covering O'Dell with a gun, fired the bullet, striking Cooper, and it passed through his left arm. The two highwaymen then ran without obtaining anything of value. O'Dell and Cooper returned to Clayton, where, after Cooper's arm had been bandaged, they reported the affair to the sheriff's office. Cooper said he had $14 in his pocket.

For they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying: Sing us one of the songs of Zion. “How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?” * AS IT WAS, IT IS. How did the In: femnational Council of Women expect Negro singers to sing their beautiful melodies in a building in which Negroes were at the very moment being dis- ctiminated against and Jim-Crowed? And how appropriate are the verses pt re as seventh Psalms. THOSE who have wasted us and to whom we have too long given mirth have waited too long to require that we sine_under such circumstances. The} National Association of Colored Women, led by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune and Miss Hallie Q. Brown, resented the in- sult to the two hundred singers and the’ race they represent with the only effective weapon at their disposal, They refused to let the Negro chorus participate, and their bold, brave act has our endorsement. AN OBJECT LESSON HAD TOM LEE, hero of the Missjs- sippi River disaster of last week, paused to ponder over the treatment to which his race is subjected in the City of Memphis, he possibly would never have carried the thirty persons he rescued to safety. And, had the Southern white men and women he rescued thought of their theories of the inequality of races and the Negroes’ rightful place in the scheme of things, they would have pre- ferred death to being saved at his hands. LEE saw his duty and did it. He was not concemed with his own color or the color of those he saved. He saw them only as human beings struggling for life against the forces of nature.

The first and original ac- R count of this disease of childhood was written in 1650 by the English physician, Glisson. Since then, as the crowding of people in the big cities of the world has increased, proportionally has Rickets manifested itself, So today Rickets is prevalent among infants and child- hood. As a disease Rickets has local manifestations in the bones_as well as constitutional disturbances. Children with Rickets have an altered metabolism; in other words, the normal chemistry of the body is changed. ‘There is an interference with the disposition of calcium salts in the bones. Calcium is one of the mineral elements needed in the growth of the body, There are many such mineral elements needed, such as iron, phosphorus, sodium, calcium, etc. The bones of a very young infant are soft. These bones become hard as the child grows older by a de posit of mineral calcium within the bone cells. This cal- cium is in the form of calcium phosphate. These mineral salts of cab cium and phosphorus sre “What's Your Name? absorbed dally from the food i 9) the child takes.

Tit the proper metibolinn ot calcium and phosphorus tn the body of the tnfant or child te called Rickets, ‘The body needs calctum and Dhosphorus not only for bone bullding, but also for a great many other functions. This calcium and phosphorus needs to be present in the Blood in certain small amounts ang oaly tm a certain “balance” or pro- portion to other mineral in- sredients. Any disturbance in this “balance” of calcium and phosphorus with the other minerals in the body predaces certain other tunctiowal dis- turbances of the nervous sys tem.
