RESERVE OFFICER DIES SEVEN CHILDREN IN FLAT May 25 Last Day for Personal Experience Ste Howard University Strike A LITTLE Knowledge Is a Dangerous Thing." —Howard hilltop continues to rage with civil indictments and counter indictments as between the faculty, headed by President J. Stanley Durkee (white) and the striking students. From the maze of allegations which are being hurled back and forth, it is difficult to say who is in the right. Nor is it possible to forecast just what kind of ashes the burning flames of the Howard insurrection may bring forth. There is one question, though, which is outstanding in the disgraceful hilltop strike. That question runs parallel to the question put by Governor Coolidge when the Boston police strike was in progress. The Governor said that no one had the right to strike against the public interest. Howard has long since been the pride of the race's educational institutions of higher training. A quasi-Federal institution, receiving appropriations of the people's money through Congress, it represents a benefit, as it were, of the people—an endowment for the training of Negro youth for the public service. The Howard student of the past has made a high mark in world service, and upon his virtues the Howard student of the future has built high hopes—hopes which, amid this strike spectacle of today, are indeed placed in jeopardy. At best, and regardless of facts, it is difficult to justify any Howard student under 21 years of age, coming to this public university for a brief four or five-year course, making himself unamenable to the university's rules and regulations, even though it may be later shown that they are unjust. Such action is not in keeping with common sense, good judgment, and regard for public interest which, first of all, in this particular, has its eyes set upon the higher education of those Negro youths who seek such an armor with which to take part in the race's battles of life. That these beardless youth, who have scarcely yet touched the hem of (Continued on Page 12) Colored Teacher in Europe Trip Contest Miss Louise H. Jackson, 146 West 142d street, teacher in P.

The Daily and Sunday Graphic has offered the trip as a prize to the teacher turning in the largest number of coupons by June 20. Miss Jackson is well known in Harlem for her good service in community betterment. She was a pupil at the school in which she now teaches. She is asking all her friends and well-wishers to send in their Graphic coupons to her, as she has decided that a colored school teacher is going to win the trip, and she is going to be that one.

Chronology of Events Leading Up to Strike --- Students Called Upon by Faculty to Resume Normal Relations to the University. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 18.—At a meeting held Wednesday afternoon, May 13, 1925, the administrative heads and faculty of Howard University, because of so many erroneous statements having been published in connection with the "strike situation" at the university, authorized F. D. Wilkinson, registrar and secretary of the faculty, to issue the following official statement: CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS "At a meeting of the faculty, February 6, 1925, it was voted that when a student has accumulated ten unexcused absences in physical education and R.

BRADMURST 6245 Said to be the first woman "fire escape burglar" in the history of the Heights Court, Jana Jenkins, 19, no home, was held in $10,000 ball for the grand jury last week. The complainant, Sally Hensel, 200 West 111th street, said the girl entered the bedroom, or her wife by forcing a window of the fire escape. Inside she had attested three silver case locks and other valuables amounting to $100. She was about to leave, said Hensel, when she stumbled, making a noise that brought him to the scene. Before committing the alleged robbery the girl is said to have gone into the kitchen where she devoured a strawberry mousse and a bottle of cream. Clayton, Alleged Burglar, Freed Says Charge Grew Out of Quarrel He Had With Complaint After being held for some weeks in $3,000 ball on a Burglary charge. Melvin Clayton, 24, 215 West 148th street, was found not guilty in the Heights Court Monday morning by Magistrate Well. According to Joseph Ward, 116 West 144th street, Clayton entered his apartment and stole clothing valued at $295. Cyril Sibly, 141 West 145th street, positively identified Clayton as the chief. He said that he saw him leaving the apartment with a suitcase and three or four suits on his arm about 2 p.m. Two witnesses were produced by the defense to prove that at the time Clayton was at the Renaissance Casino helping to decorate it for a dance that was to be given that evening. Under cross-examination by Attorney Richard L. Quunningham, counsel for Clayton, it was brought out that while Sibly and Ward are friends it was not until several days later that Clayton was charged with the crime, during which time another man had been arrested for the theft and discharged. Magistrate Well then threw out the case. Clayton, who was once convicted of petty larceny and was placed on parole, declared that the charge was a spite one due to a quarrel he had with the complainant. Rogar N. Baldwin, president of the American Civil Liberties Union and leading advocate of free speech in America, will be the speaker at the regular Sunday evening forum conducted by Dr. Hubert Harrison at Lafayette Hall on May 24 at 8:30 P.

CHILDREN'S SOCIETY SAYS WOMAN RAN 'BABY FARM' Mrs. Sadie Howard Arraigned and Held in $5,000 Bail for Grand Jury——Seven Children Found in Flat Charging that she was running a baby farm at 259 West 144th street, Officer Wm. J. Moore, of the Children's Society, caused Mrs. Sadie Howard, 30, of that address, to be arraigned in the Heights Court, where she was held in $5,000 bail for the Grand Jury. Mrs. Howard declared that she only minded the babies while the mothers went to the theatre. She also declared that she did not know that she was violating the law in caring for children under 12 years of age. Officers of the society asserted otherwise. They said that Mrs. Howard kept the children overnight, charging $2 a day. Fifty cents was the fee for minding them during the day, it is said. Mrs. Howard had a permit from the Health Department for hoarding one child, but according to Officer Moore seven children were found in the flat, two of which Mrs. Howard claimed are related to her. The names of the five, with the addresses of their mothers are: Clifford Springer, 23 months, 264 West 144th street; Clavey Perley, 7 months, 212 West 141st street; Thomas Means, 8 months, north-west corner 129th street and Seventh avenue; Louise Leverov, 14 months, 213 West 144th street, and Priscilla Craig, 14 months, 2237 Seventh avenue. The high bail was set by Magistrate Well at the request of Assistant District Attorney Angelo. Magistrate Well agreed that there were too many cases of a similar kind in the city and that steps should be taken to break up "baby farms."

BRADHURST 6545 Louise Keyes of 58 Elm street, Jamaica, charged with blinding her husband, John, was released from custody in Jamaica Court last week after the husband, who will be blind for life, pleaded with Magistrate Doyle to free her. Mrs. Keyes during a quarrel with her husband, March 22, threw lye into his eyes. He was rushed to Kings County Hospital, and on being released went to court to defend his wife, who had been held in Queens County Jail awaiting the outcome of his injuries. Mrs. Keyes told Magistrate Doyle she would care for her husband as long as she lived. Keyes interrupted her to say he would not be a burden to any one; that other blind persons make their own living and he could learn to do so. He pleaded with the magistrate to have many on his wife, as he knew they were the same. 'MARRIAGE TO COLORED MAN CAUSE OF PERSECUTION' Claiming that she had been persecuted by certain of her neighbors because she is married to a colored man, Mrs. Helen Croute, 103 West 137th street, appeared in the Heights Court last week to accuse Mrs. Beatrice Mapp, 33, 2566 Seventh avenue, with felonious assault. Mrs. Croute said that on May 5, while in the hallway of her home, Mrs. Mapp met her and assaulted her with a beer bottle. As she staggered and fell another woman, said to be Mrs. Mapp's sister, came down the stairs and hit her with a blackjack, she charged. After several postponements the case came up for a hearing last week with Attorney Frank W. Stanton representing Mrs. Mapp. In the meantime, Mrs. Croute had also obtained a summons for Mrs. Clark, mother of Mrs. Mapp, whereupon Attorney Stanton made a motion to have the case against Mrs. Mapp and the summons against her mother heard at the same time. Under cross-examination by Attorney Stanton it then developed that Mrs. Croute had appeared in court after the alleged assault and had asked for a summons for Mrs. Clark's arrest, but had said nothing about the alleged attack by the two other women until three days later when she caused the arrest of Mrs. Mapp by Detective Brendan. 16 PAGES Complete in Two Sessions 3c.

Abyssinian Church Usher Leads Raid With Private Detectives, He Surprises Wife in Room With Another Tenants at 220 West 141st street sleeping peacefully around midnight Monday were thrown into a state of great excitement when a raiding party from the Boulin National Detective Agency, 110 East 125th street, burst into the apartment of William Mitchell. Accompanying the party was Thomas Duncan, 610 St. Nicholas avenue, member of the Board of Usheres of Abyssinian Baptist Church, who had long suspected that his good looking wife, Edna, was being a little too friendly with Mitchell. When the party entered the flat by a ruse Mitchell and Mrs. Duncan, who were both saleep, were too dased to know what had happened. it is said, but it finally dawned upon them what had occurred and snatching at the nearest bits of clothing ran for cover. Mrs. Duncan, it is said, let out a scream that woke almost everyone in the building. The detectives, it is said, found a large number of poliary slips, and slips from an adding machine giving the money played on each slip handed in by the collectors; Duncan asked the police to arrest Mitchell. Tuesday morning Duncan started suit for absolute divorce through his attorneys, Dyett, Hall and Patterson, as well as a suit for damages against Mitchell for alienation of his wife's affections.

Policeman Godfrey had been in the Department for a year and five months.

Godfrey and Gillian Puller, police reservist of 22 East 131st street, were in pursuit of a gunman whom Kehr arrived on the scene. Godfrey and Puller were in police clothes, and Kehr, mistaking the it is said, for gunmen, fired at Godfrey, killing him instantly. He was later enunciated by the Puller Board. Fuller, who is 32 years old, was shot through the back three times it is said, by one of the four men who attacked him when he resented an insult made by one of them to his wife, who was with him at the time.

Negroes to join the union of their respective calling, to get into the white union ‘when permitted and when barred from joining that to form a Negro ‘union and use that as a lever to force admission into the white ‘woion. “The Negroe's duty.” said White- man, “ig to force down the bars. He ‘whould organize whether in a white ‘wniom of not. His interest fs un- doubtedly with the white working class, but it ts equally his duty to sgt those unions who will not ad- him or give him an equal chance. The Negro will never come into bis own until he learns the value of organization.” Richard B. Moore. another speaker, said: “When the Negro gets into the union-his trouble very often just begins.

Bradhurst 0678 Klansmen 'Citizens' Not Members of Invisible Empire A representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People recently attended initiation ceremonies of the Ku Klux Klan in a neighboring state, and reports that Klanmen are given instructions for evading inquiries of judges, juries and officers of the law, when asked if they are members of the Klan. According to the investigator, Klanmen are instructed that when asked if they are "members" of the Ku Klux Klan they are to reply in the negative, even under oath, since no Klanman is a member of the Klan, but all are "citizens of the invisible empire." In the records, the five men be reinstated. A communication was sent by the registrar of the university to the president of the Student Council, stating that the five men whose records were inaccurate were being immediately reinstated." "This communication was placed in the hands of the president of the Student Council twenty minutes before the students met at a mass meeting on May 7. At this mass meeting of the students on May 7 the following action was taken: "At a mass meeting held in chapel at 1 o'clock today the students of Howard University voted to strike until the rule of twenty (20) cuts in physical education and R.

"This information was immediately transmitted to the president of the Student Council." "OK May 11 a committee of the Alumni Association met with the Business Committee of the faculty and the following recommendations were made to the Business Com- mittee by the Alumni Association: 1. "That the students resume their normal relations to the work of the university." 2. "That all cuts in the Department of Physical Education and the R. O. T. C. thus far accumulated during the present quarter and all cuts in all subjects accumulated during the strike period be cancelled from the record of each student." 3. "That no student shall be penalized for his or her participation in the strike and that they resume their class work without any impairment of their former standing." "The faculty met in special session on May 12 and voted to answer the petition of the Alumni Committee in the following manner: "In view of the resolution passed by the faculty on May 11, which was, 'The faculty is unwilling to deal with the students while in the attitude of revolt,' the faculty regrets that it is unable to accept the kind offices of the Alumni Committee." "It was further voted: "That students who continue to obstruct other students from attending classes or who continue creating disorder on the campus be immediately notified that unless they desist from these actions beginning Wednesday, May 13, at A. M., and return to classes by Thursday, May 14, they will be suspended." "A communication to this effect was immediately sent to the president of the Student Council. "The students, therefore, have been on a strike since 1 o'clock May 7. They have prevented students who endeavored to attend classes from doing so and engaged in numerous acts of disorder. "A petition from the Student Council was sent to the president of the university on May 12 requesting a hearing of a committee of the Student Council before the president and faculty at the earliest possible convenience. The faculty met in special session on May 13 and in response to this request sent the following statement to the Student Council: ""The faculty is willing to consider any complaint or grievance of the students after they return to normal relations to the university." No reply from the Student Council had been received at the time this statement was issued. JOHN RILEY HELD ON BIGAMY CHARGE Arrested on a bigamy charma.

Rhinelander Case Decision Reserved Justice Seeger in the Supreme Court in White Plains Monday reserved decision on a motion by counsel for Leonard Kip Rhinelander for preference on the trial calendar of the Rhinelander suit for annulment of his marriage to his wife of a few months. Rhinelander is suing for annulment on the ground that his wife is of Negro descent, whereas in her marriage license she set herself down as white. In opposing the movement for early trial, Lee Parsons Davis, counsel for Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander, declared: "Judge Mills knows, as counsel for the plaintiff, that, with all the Rhinelander millions, they could not buy this girl to never her marriage bonds and grant an annulment to the plaintiff." Former Justice Isaac N. Mills and Leon R. Jacobs appeared as counsel for Rhinelander. Justice Seeger granted a motion on the question of framing issues. This motion was unopposed.

STOP, GY, Liver Institute THREE Wild Auto Driver Kills Woman Body Unidentified in Morgue—Six Others Injured Awaiting identification in the morgue is the body of a colored woman who was killed at 100th St. and Amsterdam Ave. by a car driven at 60 miles an hour in neighborhood of Central Park West by William Carroll, white, 28, chauffeur, 148 W. 164th street. Six other persons were injured and five cars wrecked by Carroll's wild dash. The death-dealing car itself was finally wrecked at 104th street and Amsterdam avenue. It is believed to have been stolen and that Carroll was either under the influence of drugs or drink at the time. The woman is about 30 years of age, five feet four, inches tall, and weighs 140 pounds. Carroll was taken to the W. 100th street station, where six charges were made against him, among them begging homicide, grand larceny and felonious assault. Carroll, it is said, started at 5:00 St. passing through Central Park West Broadway and Amsterdam avenue. He went so fast that the traffic officers and policemen who jumped on the running boards of taxis could not overtake him. Colored People's Dance Marred by Murder of White Grocer (Preston News Service.) HROUGHTON, Pa., May 18-24 a white storekeeper shot and killed John Powell, also white, while inten- tending a dance given by colored people here Saturday night. According to the police, the slayer, Mike Germanire, followed his victim up the steps leading to the second floor of a hall where the Negroes were holding a dance. It is said that, after the men had listened to the music for a few minutes, Germanire fired a shotgun into the body of Powell. Powes according to the police, had go up to the dance hall to watch the dance. Germanire told the police that Powell and his companions had previously visited his hall and threatened to "get him" and that he had followed them to the dance hall, which is located on the floor above the Germanire store, fearing that the men sought to descend the rear steps from the dance hall and attack him. Germanire and Powell's companions were placed under arrest. 141ST ST.

Cubans Take Double Header From Lincolnns Black Bill Again Features Commonwealth Card by Splendid Victory Chick Suggs, World's Leading Colored Bantam, Meeting Charley Goodman Saturday Night—Fast Cuban Made Dillon Look Like an Amateur Eddie Flank, Harlem flyweight, disappointed a good sized house at the Commonwealth S. C. last week by failing to appear for his ten-round bout with Al Brown, which was to have been the feature event of the regular Saturday night show at the local club. In place of the main affair, Dominick Petrone, another Harlem lad, went on for six rounds and lost the decision. FOUR Petrone was on hand to see the bout, and took the contest at a minute's notice, as Flank had weighed in at two o'clock and the first inking the management had that the big bout was off was when Flank failed to appear at nine o'clock. Brown won over Petrone in the last three rounds after the youngster had fought him even in the opening three. Petrone weighed 117, and Brown was 115. A special four was staged to give the fans their full amount of ing, and Dave Webber, 147, and Dave Diamond, 146, both of Hard to went to a draw. In the semi-final ten, Black Biel of Cuba won handily from Joe Dillon of the Bronx. Dillon put up aair sort of a bout for the first five stammas, but weakened in the final half, and was an easy prey for the Cuban. Both weighed 111. Jack McKeon, Detroit flyweight, on the first ten-spot of the night from Irish Bobby Green, of the tittle Slide, in a battle that embraced everything from his savatte so jal fitsu. Both men mauled grunched, wrestled and did what other they thought of at the time, much success. Green went along fiercely well during the earlier part of the fray, but the Westerner keenished up with a rush in the final frame that won him the call. Green weighed 115, and McKeon was Joe Cannamere, former Glencoe A. C. amateur, made good in his first start before the home folks by stopping Joe Pledger, of Atlanta, in 2.27 of the first session in what was to have been a six-rounder. Pledger has been going fairly well around these parts, and it was the first time that he ever was stopped. Cannamere proved too clever, using a left to the head that dazed his man, and applying the ether with a well-timed right. Cannamere welged 148½. Pledger was 151. Bertle Little John, 188 pounds, of Harlem, stopped Jeff Kezio, 190, of Pittsburgh, in 2.15 of the first, the referee stopping the affair. This was to have been a four-rounder and opened the show. Suggs and Goodman Saturday Chuck Suggs. New England's sensational bantam and feather- weight champion, who polished off Billy Marlowe the other evening, will meet Charley Goodman, conqueror of Carl Tremaine. in the Nature ten round quarrel at the Commonwealth Sporting Club, in Harlem, on Saturday night. Suggs has a phenomenal winning streak which will be in danger when he meets the Brooklynite. Harry Felix of the East Side, who is looming up as one of the greatest prospects in the light- weight class, will meet Willie Powell, the colored flash, in the second ten, while in the third humber Tony Birocco, the Harlem beater, will exchange compli- ments with Johnny Dudley, the California "speed ball." Completing the trio of star numbers will be a six-rounder between Tommy Jones of Atlanta and San Sandez of Mexico and a four-rounder featuring Willie Brandt and Jimmy Braxton. Marcoe Giants to Stage Opening Sunday New York Oval Expected to Be Center of Colored Athletics This Season The Marcoe Glants, under the management of Robert Young and J. Pugh, formerly of the Bacchara Glants, will oppose the Newark Athletic Club at the East New York City Office on Sunday May 21. Some of the new colored Glants will be seen in the Brooklyn lineup against the visiting team. The members of the Bedford Associates have been instrumental in securing the East New York Oval as the home grounds of the Marcoe Glants during the entire baseball season. It is also the intention of the backers of this team to make the East New York Oval the sporting center for colored athletes. Such players as Johnny Tusk, Cuba, Maurice Mack, John McKinley Lewis Jornston and Jefferson brothers of Washington, will represent the Marcos Giants. This game promises to be a very interesting as the visiting team is considered one of the greatest when the league representing Newark, finally, this game will be their main attraction in baseball Sunday afternoon. NATIONAL TOURNAMENT AT BORDENTOWN Ball Games to be Staged at East New York Oval Lincolns Go Down in Double Header Before Intensive Charge of Cubans Strong Offensive by West Indians Carries Them to Victory Over Crack Local Players Another capacity crowd saw the Lincoln Giants how to the Cuban Stars in both games of the double header at the Protectory Oval, Sunday afternoon. The Cubans, by bunching their hits in the first game, nosed the Lincolnns out by the score of 5 to 4. The closing tilt was a free clouting affair with the visitors again outhitting the locals to win by the count of 14 to 9. Luke Parrell, a new Lincoln moundsman, did the hurling in the opening game and was touched for 13 bingles. Five of them being of the extra base variety. Ocal, on the hill for the Cubans, proved too tough for the Lincolnns in the pinches, allowing but sig hits. The local team was the first to score, pushing one run across the plate in the second frame. The Cubans tied it up in the third and went into the lead in the fourth inning, only to have the Lincoln knot it. In their turn at bat, at two all. The visitors jumped to the front again in the fifth, tallying once. The Cubans increased their lead in the sixth, when they chalked up two more markers. In the eighth stanza the Lincoln staged a rally which fell one shy of tying the score. The aunts game was a wild batting bee, in which the Cubans collected 22 hits off the pitching of Taylor. Roberts and Williams, who worked on the slab for the Lincoln. None of the local team's hurriers could stam the batting attack that the Cubans launched. The visitors scored in every inning but the third. Jauenele, the Cubans' star righthander, yielded one run in the fifth inning and was in nice style when the Lincoln bats, maced his offerings to all fields in a ninth inning rally: NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWX. WEEKENDAY, MAY 20, 1925 CURTAIN RUNG DOWN ON NEGRO TENNIS IN BALTIMORE By EDGAR G. BROWN (1922-23 Colored World's Tennis Champion) ON To Bordentown For the National Champs NEW YORK, May 18. The sun set forever in 1924 on Negro tennis at Baltimore, near some of the properly faced public tennis courts of Druid Hill Park. The last pat ball pushing artist has gained his eternal glory in the category of foot-work and net rushing. Ten years of lamentable stagnation have been brought to a close. There were no mourners outside of Washington and Baltimore. ON LON! TO THE HIGH PROMONTORY OF THE SIX FINE COURTS OF BORDENTOWN, NEW JERSEY, just an hour's ride from Philadelphia! The date of the 1925 national tournament—August 23 to 20—marks a new emphasis in the evolution of the game as reckoned by the American Tennis Association, the only national organization among colored people. To say it has functioned better than they knew is to put it mildly. The printed constitution is now available after several years' voting, delaying and "squabbling." No, it is not bulky, it's up to the minute, short and snappy, about nine or ten paragraphs with several high points of elucidation like the following: Article II, Section 1, of the by-laws: "The rules governing play in all tournaments of this association shall be those laid down by the highest accredited lawn tennis association in America." I probably flatter the Baltimore lawyer who construed the above when I say Amen! Here is hoping the A. T. A. will sanction the scientific American driving game of the white players of the United States Tennis Association as well as ape their committee's dubious interpretation of the amateur rules. As a race we are very prone to imitate all the foibles and none of the virtues of the upper crust. Let's hurry and pass on to the new signs of awakening among the darker people who will be crowned international tennis champions in the next silver jubilee just as they have broken world's records in nearly every phase of athletic progress during the past decade. Bordentown, with its green pastures, evenly clipped lawns and dormitories overlooking miles of a winding river offers the ideal setting for this new step up the tennis ladder in 1925. Most important of all, Bordentown's leaders have caught the vision. Tennis players will have the greatest week of their lives. August 23-29, as the guests of Principal Valentine, an expert and former Indianapolis tennis champion, who believes it's the finest game in the world for young and old, and he does not hesitate to give it his personal and official support at Bordentown College. It's a splendid tribute to his leadership and sportsmanship to see the enthusiasm with which both the faculty and student body have started already to make the National the best ever. No less credit is to be accorded Professor Lester Granger, the extension secretary and student supervisor of the institution, who has just been re-elected president of the New Jersey Tennis Association. Mrs. Granger and several other ladies on the faculty, Mr. Williams, Mr. Jones and a number of the sixteen-year-old boys and girls, are all trying to emulate Prof. Granger's terrific service and American drive, and their idolization was in no wise minimized when they saw him shoot those scientific strokes out of the reach of the former national champion for two sets on a recent visit to the school. At the Nationals in Bordentown every night will not be a round of "Charlestoning." Mr. Granger, a young man of athletic experience and fine character, will see that proper meals in the well-appointed dining room will be served continuously by experts from an immaculate cuisine during the day, and after the evening meal a complete change, in the way of a trip to the "movies" in their own big auditorium, is being planned by the professor, where some of these indolent and indifferent tennis neophytes as well as past champions may view the new reels of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, showing interesting tournament matches and some of Tilden's, Johnston's and Richards' marvelous strokes and their proper execution. This will be a good reminder to those who have faithfully and studiously worked on a driving game throughout the summer and a revelation to the several natural born Negro tennis players — they are, of course, unique in this respect, and, we pray, some of the last of the species. They turn the lights out at ten-thirty P.M. in Bordentown, and we are fearful that some of the youthful tennis experts who are ambitious to be champions will be unintentionally forced to go to bed early, and consequently those of us who are planning to keep them aspiring a few more years will probably be amazed at their rightful pep and perfect execution, because we have always had the physical as well as psychological advantage of their meandering in the byways and hedges until the early hours of the morning. A book will be written by the future chronicler of the American Tennis Association, dating the annihilation of the pat ball pusher and the unscientific attitude and atmosphere from August 23, 1925, and the great landmark, Bordentown, will herald where the revolution took place and at once portend unscaled heights of tennis glory. At the Commonwealth this Saturday night, Jack McVey, National Guard champion, will trade walleys with K. O. Fili Kaplan. This is one of the best hosts arranged recently, and will do a great deal in bringing out the fane. McVey hasn't been seen in action at the Commonwealth for some time, but each and every time he has appeared in the past he has shown wonderful improvement and he has been keeping it hoping for one of the big creations. Earl Johnson Coming From Pittsburgh to Join in Dash to Wrest Honors From Finnish Star in Big Games Albin Stenroos, of Finland, winner of the Olympic marathon in France last summer, will be called upon to meet 10 of the best distance runners in the United States in his initial competitive appearance in this country, if the stars who were yesterday invited by the Finnish-American A. C. to compete against him in a one-hour race at New York's first outdoor night track meet at the Yankee Stadium, a week from Tuesday night (May 26) are willing to race the veteran from the Northland. The American stars to whom invitations were mailed last night are: Chuck Miller, Chicago, American marathon champion; Clarence DeMar, Boston, who placed third in the Olympic marathon; Jimmy Hennigan, Boston; Fred Wachsmuth, Milrose A. A.; Earl Johnson, Pittsburgh; Frank Titterton, Glencoe A. C.; Albert Michelson, Cygnet A. C.; Bill Kennedy, Cygnet A. C.; Louis Tikkanen, Ilmar Prim, Finnish-American A. C. The coaches of several of these runners are confident that their charges can better the existing American one-hour record which Steinrose is out to annex, and which is at present held by Charles Pores of the Millrose A. A. Wachsmath, who won the fast time prize in the recent Cygnet A. C. eight-mile race; Jimmy Henaigam, who resked off 10 miles in 54 minutes in Boston last week, and Albert Michelom, of the Cygnet A. C., are the men who are figured to cause the most trouble for the invader. This race is one of the nine feature races supporting the big Nurmil-Helfrich half-mile race. The other events on the program will be a sprint special, a high hurdle, 1,500 meters and one-mile club and college relay. Two handicap races at 440 and 1,000 yards and a three-quarter mile novice race complete the card.

"Dixie to Broadway" is the initial edition and fairly well exhibits the hopes and ambitions of Miss Mills. According to those who have heard Miss Mills personally set forth her views on the subject it is her plan to put forth a real American production.

Best Sport Pages In Greater New York Auspicious Opening of Tennis at the Finest Grounds in Greater New York Finest Gathering Since Game Became Popular on Hand to Witness Ceremonies Marking Start of Great Outdoor Game Here By ARTHUR E. FRANCIS. With a fine new and large grandstand packed to capacity, a day that was made for tennis, and a wonderful gallery of tennis fans, which included the very best of Harlem elite, the new tennis grounds constructed by Edmunds and Spooner were formally opened to the public last Saturday afternoon, May 10, and another splendid achievement of the race was made history. With the possible exception of the ranks of the national tennis tournament, when that event is held in the Big City, it was the greatest gathering of tennis fans seen on a Harlem court since the game became popular among us. The ceremonies began at 4:30 P.M. when the band of the Knights and Pythias played "The Star-Spangled Banner," amid which Old Glory was raised on the staff over the grounds. Invocation was rendered by the Rev. Charles Martin, after which Mr. Gerald Nurman, many times president of the New York Tennis Association and now field secretary of the American Tennis Association, who acted as master of ceremonies, made a few introductory remarks and introduced Mr. Jas. Mulholland, supervisor of the park system of New York City, who was sent by Mayor Hyden to represent him and the club at the opening exercises. Mr. Mulholland stated, among other things, that the Mayor regretted he was unable to be present, due to the police parade that was held on the same day, but wanted to assure the people of this community of his interest and co-operation in their recreational welfare. The supervisor then throw out the ball. The first two exhibition matches were between Mr. W Braunstein of the Freewood Tennis Club and its National Champion Edgar G. Brown and Mr. M. Axel, also of the Freewood Tennis Club, and Mr. Edgar James of New York, the latter being No. 11 on the national ranking list of the American Tennis Association. The match between Braunstein and Brown was the feature of the day, and brought an a very nice exhibition, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the fans. The exchampion defeated Whitewater, 7, 5, 8—7, but it was evident to most of us that he was a complete master of the situation at all times, even though the rules do not indicate such a surfeit. Braunstein, who plays really nice game, has a strong voice and a powerful forearm that would give anybody trouble, but Brown took good care of it. The exhibition show at enough tennis to justify his belief that he is going to be mighty hard to beat this Summer. One thing that impressed us is the movement in his service. When we last saw him, in that memorable battle with Saitch in 1923, his service appeared to us as his closest link, and evidently he thought so, too, for he has developed his game along that line and serving both with pace and accuracy. While this match was going on Gomes was having great trouble with Axel, the latter a white player with a truly unorthodox style, a great comedy to keep the fall in play, which he did, to the overarching discomfiture of Gomes who occupied on his own errors by the score of 6-3, 7-3. Gomes showed that he has not as yet gotten rid of his Winter's inactivity. Two doubles matches were then put on, one between Braunstein and Slatt of the Fleetwood and Saitch and Smith New York State doubles champion, No. 2 national ranking players. The Harlem team loved with their opponents in the first set, winning at 6-1, but found the going a bit rough in the second set. Braunstein making some wonderful drives and hill partner, Slatt, getting off some beautiful volleys. However, the colored boys were not to be downed and they finally won the set at 9-7. The other doubles match brought Axel and Hayfield of Fleetwood against Brown and Gomes. This was won by Brown and Gomes at 6-3, 9-7. Aside from the fact that the opening of the grounds assured a continuance of organized tennis among our people in Harlem and should he highly appreciated, the one other important feature was the competition between members of both races. We trust that more of these matches will be arranged in the future. At the annual meeting of the New York Female Association, held on Friday night, May 11, the following officers were elected for the 1923 season: Donald Crelgaton, president; L. E. Spencer, re-elected vice-president; Albert E. MacDowell, 64 Lenox Avenue, re-elected secretary; A. Blackman, assistant secretary, and for W. B. Ward Dixx, treasurer (re-elected) made up of the following, in addition to the officers: Norman, Brat waithic, Buchanan, Stevenson, Wood and Edmunds. Congressional Council to Stage Unique Dance at Renaissance Casino June 11th Their Own Orchestra Will Furnish the Music and You Can Take It From Us That These Boys Can Play Some The members of the Virgin Islands Congressional Council have every reason to feel proud, and this thought comes to us as we are about to say a few words of the dance which they will hold at Renaissance Casino on the night of June 11. Ever since Uncle Sam went into the islands and tried to import certain Jim Crow ideas this body of Virgin Islanders have been working against evils which their own have been suffering under on account of the inability of officials of the Navy to understand the conditions under which they are supposed to labor. Of course, the outstanding figure in this splendid work to right these wrongs being perpetrated on a helpless people Caper Holstein, and this because of the wonderful manner in which he has led the fight. The Council, through Holstein, is also a charitable organization of high standing—usually high standing because they are doing wonderful things without the accompaniment of beating drums, etc. It is then with pleasure, too, we rise to call attention to the ginkham and bandana dance of the Council at the Renaissance on June 11. We have associated the good old ginkham and bandana with the Southland for ages, but where have these things been worn with more ecstasy in these islands? If the ladies would but let their minds return in imagination to the days of the grandparents, they will issue forth for this big affair clad in a manner to make the hearts of bookclocks beat with a joy seldom or by such a rare sight. To add to the pleasure of this evening set aside big dugges by the Council, the band of the organization with furnish the studio. Many of the musicians had their training under the present bandmaster of the Virgin Island Band of the United States Navy which came to this country last summer and this means that the boys are really there. As our old friend, Artze, of Washington, would say: "More anse." Lula Jones Council in Fine Jovial Assembly the sixth jovial assembly staged by the Lea Robinson Jones Council No. 1964, I. O. of St. Luke, at St. Luke's Hall last Friday evening turned out to be an unusual success. From 1919 up to the present time these dances staged by the council have met with a great deal of success at the hands of the people. Ruby Macon and her acapped orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. The winners of the popularity contest were Mrs. Mary Smith first prize; Mrs. Janetle Morris second prize. These prizes were given the ones selling the largest number of tickets for the event. BIG GATHERING AT OFFICIAL TENNIS START Chick Suggs Heads Commonwealth Bill NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1925 Billiards, King of Indoor Sports Past, Present and Future Billiards, King of Indoor Sports Past, Present and Future By OLD IVORY Ivory is one of the most essential necessities to the game of billards. There are two distinct species of ivory—hard ivory and soft ivory—and they are found in two continents: Hard ivory comes from Africa and is inferior to soft ivory, which is found in Zanzibar, Eastern Africa. It is salt, and authentically so, that there are elephant graveyards were old and sick elephants go and lay down in the sands to give up the ghost. When an ivory hunter finds one of these spots, he is in for a rich harvest. Some tusks are worth as much as $500 each and weigh 200 pounds or more. It is shipped out in its original form and when it reaches its consignment it is cut in blocks about 1/4 inch thick and seasoned three classes of ivory balls—clear, barky and sand check. A clear, soft Zanzibar ball is worth from $15 to $25. While many class D players ask for large balls, 2-7 1/4 inches, the proper size ball is 2 3/4 inches, with which all professional games are played. Ivory balls are very sensitive to draughts. They have been known to crack open from a cold draught. Even temperature is essential to the life of the ball. A ball lying idle will become lopsided and must be trued before any results at billiards can be had. It is a known fact that where players are expert massas, the ball requires frequent truing, owing to sharp contact. This is quite a step, you will admit, from the days of brass cues and brass bale and straight nine-foot sticks to well-balanced cues of various weights, cloth or blanket texture and finish, to the smooth hardness of the ball as of today, costing as high as all per cent. All of these are but a few of the important factors that go to make the present day billiards, as played by over 2,000,000 persons in the United States today, the "King of Indor Sports." Just one more word about past billiards and the old masters who depended on shotmaking rather than the present day style of gathering the ivory flock on the balkline, as well as driving one ball out and in. Now we will review the old champions up to 1892. Dudley Kavanaugh (1863-65). Louis Fox (1865). John Deery (1866-66). Joseph Deon (1866-67). John McDewitt (1870-71). A. P. Rudolph (1870). Frank Parker (1873-75). Maurice Vignaux (1875). William Soxon (1878). Jacob Gueffer (1878-80). George Sloog (1886-92). Kenneth Ivies (1892). Each one of these player's contribution to billiards has led up the world's greatest indoor sport of today, balkline billiards. It was in 1874 that a balkline first appeared. It was a line drawn diagonally across the corners of the table from points on the side rail, 5½ inches from the corner. This was to prevent "crotching" balls in the corner and to stop progress of the rail nurse. Then the lines were moved to 14 inches on the end rail and 28 on the side, still diagonal. This was for championship play. Geo. Slosson won his first championship game at this style. It was on pass in 1844. Then came the true balkline of this day. 18-2. Benjamin Garbo is credited with being the originator of the balkline. In 1894 the box maker in England defeated John Roberts of England at English billards. In this game he made the wonderful high run of 2,540. in one position, near the corner pockets, using the anchors and line nurse, which was a revelation to the English. This style of billards served Roberts well in his future as an English billard champion. How the world's championship was won and by whom retained will be told in our next story. Joe Gray, song and music writer, not only can write popular songs, such as "Rumin' Wild," but he can play billiards. If you don't think so, ask Gordon of the Rose Tea Room. Joe handed him a good lacing in the matinee setto last week, four straight. Burley, of the Seventh Avenue Flower Shop, has a habit of bringing his billiard opponents with him. Last Tuesday he picked up an old timer, Lazx, and for doing so he was properly licked in, three straight. Better luck, next time, old top! When Ronamond Johnson handled the frosties the other afternoon at the Imperium, entertaining Lybe, who is quite clever at billiards, his alibi afterwards was that the proprietors were friends of his and he was lengthening the time for their benefit. "Of course, Lybe hucked out." Lucky Roberts, one of the strong booster for billiards and the Emperor, is back after spending a pleasant winter with the Madam in Florida. On their return trip they showed their race pride too. Billiard Notes ping off at Tuskegee Institute, where they were entertained as guests. The visit was enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Roberts. They, in return, gave the students and faculty some idea of just how entertaining is dished out on the little old path, Broadway. Harlem was ably represented at the New York Billiard Room Owners' banquet, held on April 27 at the Hotel Astor, by Mr. and Mrs. Sylle, Mr. A. C. Denning, Mr. Johnnie Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Willis and Mr. J. McGraw, Mr. Willis spoke of the association's achievements in educating room owners to the importance of better billiards. His remarks received hearty applause. Mr. Maurice Daly, the dean of New York's billiards, heartily endorsed what Mr. Willis said. Mr. J. T. Doyle is president; Douglas Isaac, secretary; Mr Joseph Thum, treasurer. "The worm will turn," it is said when Mr. R. L. Wade of billiard endurance fame gave his old opponent, Clarence Jones, who has been kicking him in for some time, a good facing the other evening up in the Billiard Club. Everybody was surprised, and many alibis were offered by Jones. President Scott must have thought he was about ready after defeating Charlie Nicholas a couple of weeks ago. Saturday evening he chose that "billard nut," Woodson, and for doing so will have to curtail his billard playing next week. Check $1.85. "Oh, boy!" Can anyone around the Emporium or C. A. B. P. Association explain why J. D. Payne, of the Central Republican Club, keeps trying to pick on the general manager, Willie? He should know it's bad business. He hasn't got a chance to billard him for form and every billard ball in the general manager. Him start earlier next Saturday Payne, and then, maybe? W. Denney Wilkerson and Ralph Jones, of Los Angeles, Calif., now touring the United States visiting the large cities, stopped in to look the Emporium over and have a go with the ivories: "nuf sed. They got an eyeful, both conceded it is best in the U. S. A. LOMBARDO WHIPS RISDEN IN PANAMA Reports of the meeting of Bobby Risdon and Jose Lombardo in Panama recently give Lombardo victory by a knockout in the ninth round of a scheduled encounter. Lombardo must have improved 100 per cent since his return to Panama, as Risdon left here a few months ago to meet the best. This announcement will come as a great surprise to the followers who have been little performer, who has so consistently taken at the Commonwealth. An attempt will be made to induce Lombardo to return here some time this summer. PITTSBURGH FIGHTER TO GET CHANCE HERE Billy Armstead, one of the best lightweight said to have been developed in many years, came in from Pittsburgh a few weeks ago and we understand will be given a chance at the Commonwealth Club in the near future. Press reports gives Armstead an enviable record in Ohio and Michigan and that the punch besides being one of the flashiest performers in the ring today. Anderson Offers Special Prof. Charles H. Anderson will offer a big reception and dance of the Elsa Auditorium on Decoration Day night. May 30. This dance will be in the nature of a "special" for his many patrons and the many friends who will most likely come out to enjoy the holiday. The Saturday night dances continue to receive their measure of support at the hands of many who find the atmosphere one wherein they can enjoy themselves until the early morning hours without the least sign of anything objectionable. Knoxville Takes Two Games from Morristown Knoxville College won both games of a two-game series with Morristown College, Morristown, Tenn., played on the Knoxville field April 24 and 25. The first game was won by a 9-5 score. Both teams played rather closely in this first game. The game was featured by two home runs for Knoxville one by Young and the other by Bledsoe. The first that has gone over the edge of the field on the fly, a distance of over 300 feet, the other hit being tied over the edge after striking the ground. Harlem's "Four Horsemen" to Again Ride Forth in Dance World Presenting Two of the Country's Leading Orchestras at Manhattan Casino Night of May 29. The "Four Horsemen" will ride forth again. As we told our readers almost a year ago, while Blasco Ibanez's horsemen presaged the coming of death and destruction, our horsemen, riding from Harlem instead of the Apocalypse, presage the coming of a night of unconfined pleasure, wherein the populace joins and all contribute to the merriment of a most joyous occasion. We believe that we can rise to remark that, on account of prevailing weather conditions, it would not be stretching the truth to say that this will indeed be the closing monster affair of the Spring season, the affair at which Plotter Henderson and his wonton landscape and her truly make her last appearance before leaving our City Beautiful in search of other fields of conquest. As we gaze at the picture of these present-day riders and as our mind reverts to an image we carry in our minds of our friends, we say, with no little satisfaction, that Messrs. W. D. Robinson, W. B. Saunders, H. L. Bruce and W. A. Campe are all clean-cut examples of progressive, industrious and ambitious young manhood. Success has been theirs in the past, but they have not abused it, and seem to be satisfied to come before, the public at long intervals, instead of trying to work their popularity to death, like so many others. To vie with Fletcher Henderson on the occasion of this big ride of the first batch of youngsters to take the name made famous by the great Spanish author, they have secured the Temple Society Dance Orchestra, with William Dover in the lead. That move insures a night of dancing that will be unsurpassed, in that no two orchestras in this city will make a greater effort to disg up the kind of music beloved by dancers everywhere. Ride on, my boys, and may it be to your biggest success! Renaissance Big Five Boys Laying Plans for Big Time Decoration Day With Two Big Orchestras and All the Other Things for Which They Are Noted, It Will Be a Big Night With Fletcher Henderson and his original Roseland Orchestra supplemented by Alex Jackson and his Ten Dusky Broadcasters, the stage is being prepared by the world's basketball champions for one of the biggest holiday dances ever staged in good old Gotham. The Renaissance Big Five, having won a reputation for giving the public a full run for any money invested, plans to make this holiday night something that will appeal to colored people, not only from the immediate neighborhood, but from surrounding points within a hundred miles. The Saturday night dances being staged at the Renaissance Casino by the same people have for two years met with favor at the hands of hundreds, and the fact that the Renaissance boys will swing that Saturday night to Manhattan Casino for a bigger affair will mean particular evening will find Harley Davidson the porters of the club, as they will be at Manhattan Casino. Of course, Fletcher Wenderson and his orchestra will carry the palm as the particular attraction, but Abu Jackson and his radio boys are phasing one of the biggest surprises ever handed out in the dance world and the public would do well to be on hand when these two orchestras start the works for the Renaissance. With both Morehouse and Atlanta University, leading contenders for the beautiful Spandling trophy to be awarded the championship baseball team of the S. I. A. A. having only three games left on their respective schedules, interest is at fever heat. The game next Saturday on Morehouse College camps between A. U. and Morehouse will undoubtedly decide the championship. In addition Morehouse has two games with Turksege and A. U. has two with Clark University. However, barring sensational upsets of the dope both teams should emerge victors in these games. Hence, the interest surrounding the second game between Morehouse and A. U. The first game which was played on A. U.'s campus and closed by rain in the sixth inning resulted in a 5 to 1 victory for Morehouse College. Since that time A. U.'s team has undergone several shake-ups and has shown such decided improvement in their last few games that it seems highly probable that they will get the edge on Morehouse in the closing and deciding game of the season. Morehouse College finds itself with its back to the wall in an endeavor to win the championship, because of the loss of a loosely played game. last Saturday, which Morris Brown won 10 to 4. The following is the standing of the teams in the S. I. A. A. to date: W. I. Per. Morehouse 9 2 818 A. U. 9 1 750 Morris Brown 7 1 750 Fla. A. and M. 1 500 Tuskegee 1 4 428 Clark 2 6 250 Ala.

HOUSE DUBBED THE "WHITE ELEPHANT" TO AGAINCHANGE HANDS JUNE 1, SAYS RUMOR The Only Theatre in America Catering to Negroes Which Has Changed Managemenl so Often and Which Has Found It a Herculean Task to Remain in Favor Leo Broecher Interests, Which Until Recently Ran the Roosevelt and Douglas and at Present Directs Plaza, Harlem Opera House and Odeon, to Take Charge of House Said to Have Been Built on Part Proceeds From Booze The Lafayette Theatre, says an insistent rumor which we have every reason to believe, will change hands again on June 1. People far removed reading this announcement will express surprise, but the colored people in Greater New York and New Jersey will simply ejaculate: "WHAT, AGAIN?" and let it go at that. This theatre has been in the throes of uncertainty ever since it has been built. Many years ago Martinson and Nibur, who ran a saloon and wholesale liquor house on Lenox avenue, after meeting with success running the Crescent Theatre, which was at that time in its greatest period of success, decided, so 'tis said, to move over to Seventh avenue and when the doors were thrown open to the public it was generally remarked that while the Crescent had contributed much in inducing Martinson and Nibur to come over this way, the booze receipts made it fully possible for them to blown forth in imprisonment. Then commenced the troubles for the Lafayette. A strong runner went the rounds that white folks would be the favored ones at the new house and black harlem took to mental arms. We believe that it cost Messrs. Mattinson and Nibar a pretty penny buying space in the colored papers trying to down this runner when it was seen that for once Kithiopia was stretching forth her hand and rescuing what the story at the time said was an implied insult aimed at the "Children of the Sun." But John Leubrie Hill was then alive and soon he came into the Lafayette with his "Darktown Pollier." Colored Harlem forgot her grievances and flocked to the theatre for weeks and months to see the best thing done since the days of Williams and Walker, and if anybody should ask you, we mean these few lines to include anything done since those palmy days of good old John. After things started on the downward path the parade of managers started towards the Lafayette. Looking back we can only recall Fluegelman and Johnson (how can we forget them, Lord, how can we forget them?) Shipp and Corker, Morganstern and Walton, Sahier and somebody else (another bunch we cannot forget for the same reason which we do not feel called upon to state at this time). Robert Levy and his Quality Amusement Corporation, E. C. Brown and his banking interests which recently went against the wall, the Coleman Brothers and more recently Michael Shapiro and his associates. We believe that we have forgotten some of those who held the management of the Lafayette, but it will serve no special purpose for us to go over files reaching Mick so many years and the public will be satisfied to learn that the plaque, so rumor has it, will again go into new hands June 1. To induce the people to form a continuous line into the Lafayette they have tried everything. Lester Walton was the first to single out a big time artist, pay out big time money and attempt to do something out of the ordinary for his people. If you have any doubt of this statement come in and let me prove it. But it fell to Robert Levy and his associates to give us something up to that time entirely out of line in theatricals where Nerrores were concerned when he introduced the drama on a big scale. Here was the real foundation that brought forth many a pudding dramatic flower. The people came out in large numbers and supported the drama until Levy made the mistake of trying to give D THE "WHITE AGAIN CHANGE 11, SAYS RUMOR In America Catering Has Changed Man- n and Which Has Ruclean Task to in Favor Which Until Recently Ran the has and at Present Directs House and Odeon, to Take to Have Been Built on Part says an insistent rumor which believe, will change hands again read reading this announcement colored people in Greater New simply ejaculate: "WHAT, at the throes of uncertainty ever any years ago Martinson and wholesale liquor house on Lenox success: running the Crescent one in its greatest period of suc- move over to Seventh avenue own open to the public it was the Crescent had contributed and Nibur to come over this it fully possible for them to having seen anything like it among colored people. About the time that Mr. Levy was scratching his head and wondering just why the theatre had again started on the downwad plane, along came E. C. Brown of Brown & Stevens, Philadelphia Bankers, with the idea of giving our people high class dramas in about three or four big cities. Levy got from under in a hurry and allowed the good Mr. Brown to hold the bag. Of course, when the bag (like a certain historical pie) was opened, unlike the pie no blackbirds came forth, but failure all around greeted the efforts of Brown and his people and the Coleman Brothers arrived. They stood the gaff for a while, but being human beings they decided after that same while that it was not worth while to longer hold on to a proposition that meant ruin. Enter Michael Shapiro. Unlike all the others going before him, we do not believe that Mr. Shapiro even had the pleasure of experiencing that feeling of enthusiasm brought about by packed houses for a week straight, and as for the "standing room only" sign which at least greeted his predecessors on more than one occasion, we believe that he enjoyed this rare feeling only once and that was on Washington's Birthday night when "Harlem Rounders" made the rounds and then flopped. On the above occasion a mistake was made and seats taken up by the runway upon which those beautiful damselfish cavorted in time to the sweet strains from J. Rosemond Johnson's orchestra to many. Upon entering the theatre the people holding those seats became impatient after being forced to mill about and suffer the annoyances which usually follow such mistakes even though, we are told, many of them were seated after. Of course, we know nothing of the patronage on Sunday nights and we do not include these nights in speaking of the lack of big houses since the coming of Mr. Shapiro. Maybe they packed them in on those nights, but on week nights when we are doing our stuff on Seventh Avenue we failed to see it. Word came to us a month ago of what was in the air, but we kept council with no one and watched operations to learn of certain things of which we were ignorant and now we see the light. Mr. Shagra, we understand, had never been in the theatrical business before. We do not know if this is a fact, but we do know that he has never never been in the Negro theatrical profession and we doubt seriously that the general Michael is planning to resign if the ruler is correct and the Brexhorn institution take charge of the house at the time they' good name says they will. LAFAYETTE THEATRE CHANGING HANDS Moonlight Ship At New Star Casino To-night NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEEKENDAY, MAY 20, 1925 About Things Theatrical In J. A. Jackson's "symposium of praise" appearing weekly in the Ofay theatrical weekly, known as the Billboard, we seldom find anything we feel would be worth while reproducing for the readers of this paper. However, we note that Jackson has seen fit to walk upon the same path recently chosen by the august W. E. B. Dubois, who announced in the May issue of the Crisis that from now on a few truths will be told about our own instead of that constant praise with which we seem to play to all the time in our journals. Note well that the same subject on which Mr. Jackson is speaking today has been handled in no uncertain manner in these columns from the first day we took charge. In fact, wherever we have been it has been a part of our policy not to indiscriminately praise everybody and everything in the theatrical world. For this attitude we have perhaps gained a reputation for not being a "good fellow," but we have played square with the public and we cannot see where we have lost anything by so doing. Said the Billboard under the head of "Theatrical Editing Thoughts": It is interesting to watch our folks take on one after the other of the attributes of the complex age in which we live. The past year seems to have been signalized by the sudden realization of the prosessional group as to the value of publicity. But like all who essay the handling of something with which they have had little acquaintance, the bunch has provided some pitiful and amusing exhibitions. The editors of many of our papers are in a large measure responsible, for they have done one of two things. Either they have willingly lent themselves to the exploitation of a lot of ridiculous stories, or they have been derelict in regard to the responsibility to their readers. The theatrical pages of many papers have been too carelessly edited. Boys and girls with no background of knowledge concerning the field they "cover" have too often accepted just what has been handed in for publication. Too lenient judgment has been permitted in the passing upon available material. Such laxity has encouraged a lot of misstatements, the distribution of many false impressions and the establishment of doubt in the readers' minds concerning the whole amusement field. The show business is too great an asset to our whole race group to be so casually handled. It numbers 20,000 people when all the associated crafts are included in the count. Economically and socially it is important. The Investment in the theatres, parks, fair grounds, show properties and musical instruments runs far into the millions. The weekly payroll of the Negro performer and musician makes an astounding total. And that money finds its way into virtually every channel of business. Important money should not be trifled with via ridiculous press stories. With so much real news as the business affords, one wonders at the stories of a $20-a-week chorus girl's preference in jewelry, especially one who is but a few months removed from a waitress job, and who is with a show working only at intervals; stage managers less than 30 years of age, who trained the chorus of a famous show that has not been on the road in 18 years, and the almost aristocratic family histories of theatre folks whose poor parents, typical old hard-working folks, are at the time seeking to learn the whereabouts of the son or daughter. And oh how the adjectives have been overworked and superlatives abused. These and many similar stories that tell either of an indifferent editor or a guillible one will in time defeat the unda desired. The reading public will lose confidence in both the paper and the showpeople. As our journals, not more than four or five of which have maintained theatrical departments for any length of time, become more familiar with the field we hope to see the editorial element keep pace with the tremendous volume of advertising the theatrical department has brought to these papers. This is no blanket indictment, for some of our exchanges have excellently edited amusement pages. It is just a word of warning to the others from a fellow worker who wishes them well. Our penchant for trying to be fair with the readers of this publication at this very minute has been the cause of our becoming "persona non grata" at a certain theatre. Oh no, not on the surface. You can hardly notice it because they have seen fit to maintain a diplomatic attitude towards us. We applaud Jackson for the truth contained in the article above and can assure him that intelligent members of the race can fully appreciate what he has said. It is hard to maintain a position of independence when you are surrounded by certain individuals on some of these colored newspapers right here in New York whose opinions are bought and paid for by a little weekly stipend handed out with an idea of insuring praise at all times. We have to laugh when we look back just a few short weeks and realize that we too enjoyed the good favor of certain theatrical managers, but even though we are well taken care of along the lines of weekly or monthly stipends, we have always stood four-square for the public and two minutes after we draw our stipend you can find us in the front rank suggesting those things which we consider are the best for our public. We fell into ill favor at a certain theatre because we had the temerity, in spite of our close connection with the house, of daring to come out and advocate a return to the drama. We fell into disfavor also because we had the courage of our convictions to tell our readers of the empty houses. We fell into disfavor because we have refused to depart from the lines laid down early in our career and that is to use our own judgment at all times in whatever we have to write. What a diffeffrence a few short blocks make? Have you noticed how we lead all others when it comes to disagreeing with the opinions handed down at the Commonwealth Sporting Club for many weeks! Who has cried louder against the injustice than your humble servant, but Jess McMahon, being versed in what he is doing, gives us the glad hand at all times and not once has he by word or action ever suggested that everything must be praise and nothing but praise from our hands where the Commonwealth is concerned. McMahon doesn't spend his time trying to show his employees where the Amsterdam News is responsible for poor houses. But this we can understand, for he has no position to protect and not having put forth ideas which turned out to be abortions and brought disaster, it is unnecessary that he find some excuse for lack of patronage on the part of the colored people. Yes, Jack, let the good work start from now on. Hew to the mark and care not where the chips descend. You might as well assume this attitude now, for you will find that in spite of fifty-one weeks of praise when you fail to do so on the fifty-second week in the year you will be a "bad fellow" just the same. Hey, hey! WHAT HO, IRA? We found the card of our good friend, Ira P. Lewis, on our desk on Saturday afternoon and Ipal very sorry we were not fortunate enough to be on hand when the versatile Pittsburgh dragged in.

Bold Skipper Is Ready to Swing Moonlight Ship Into River Wednesday Night Fletcher Henderson and His Roseland Orchestra All Set to Make the Night a Big One in Behalf of the Crowd That Will Be on Deck With Captain Wilson All aboard, and give a hand with that towline! Captain Henry Wilson is ready to steer the famous Moonlight Ship on her biggest cruise up the Hudson River tonight (Wednesday, May 20) from New Star Casino, where arrangements have been made to accommodate one of the largest crowds that ever made the trip on the famous old boat. Fletcher Henderson and his world renowned Roseland Orchestra will grace the upper deck and from this point of vantage these musicians will send forth the strains that have brought Fleicher fame in the land of jazz. Oh! it will be a big night, alright, alright, and few will miss it. The captain, fully aware that Greater New York continues to look for him to spring the surprises, has left no stone unturned in trying to make this sail of the ship something that will appeal to every man, woman and child getting to New Star Casino on time to board the boat. While his rivals have been sallleep at the switch, the captain has seen to it that every nook and corner of the Greater City stood an investigation at the hands of his crew, and the result is that the report handed him last night carried the information that the sailors will be out in full force. William F. Patrick and his playing and singing boys are one of the big features of the sail, and "Pat" will be there in his outfit ready to start the ball rolling when Walter Hunter, officer of the deck for the night, gives the signal to "let 'er go." Then you have a Charleston contest, in which some of the most agile aspirants for honors along this line of endeavor will appear. It is going to be a mighty busy night for the captain, but he is all set for the night and each and every one on the ship will again be personally greeted by the only skippers who has been able to sink all competitions and keep the one and only Nooseight ship afloat. Splendid Vaudeville Bill at the Lafayette One of the best vaudeville bills presented around here in some time is being offered at the Lafayette Theatre this week. Those to whom the names are familiar need no introduction to these performers at our hands at this time, as they will recognize the artists whom they have applauded time without number. The theatre ought to do splendid business during the run of the present show, as each and every act can be depended upon to hold its own before any audience. Among the acts billed to appear are: Brown and De Mont, Dave and Tressie, Grace and Eddie Recor. Lew Keene, "Strappy" Jones and Johnny Nit, Winfred and Brown, George McCleannon, Billy Ewing, and Joe Byrd, Paul Bass and Seminole, and the "Rusin't Wild" Quartette. Handy's Concert a Success A concert unique in these days was given under the artistic direction of W. C. Handy, the Negro composer of many celebrated "Blues," last night in the Greenwich Village Theatre, for the benefit of the city and country school. This consisted in a revival of the old-fashioned Negro minstrel show, the minstrels in the costumes that Emmet and his troupe made famous many years ago, with the old songs, many of the old jokes, the interlocutor, in the person of Mr. Handy himself, and all the rest of it. The program opened with a number of familiar minstrel songs sung by the end men, a quartet, soloists and chorus. The "Oilo" of Part Two was opened by Carl White's Serenaders, featuring Will Marion Cook. An entertaining and variegated set of "numbers" followed by Tom Fletcher, McKlaskick and Holiday and others. There was a cakowalk and Catherine Handy introduced "The Blue Fire (not)." A large audience enjoyed the cleanness of the fun, the melody, the humor, the sentiment of a form of entertainment unhappily gone from our剧院 of to-day. Will Grundy's Death Sudden Will Grundy, one of the most widely known performers and who, up to last week, held a place with Miles and Blake's "Chocolate Dundon," passed away one night last week after suffering with a sudden attack of indigestion. While Grundy never appeared to be in robust health after his return from Europe, some expected that his passing away would be an sudden hit. He was a noseless of Kris, Frank Wheaton, wife of the late Kris and Frank Wheaton. Ethiopian Art Students in Big Midnight Drama Will Appear at the Lafayette Theatre May 26, and People Should Come Out and Support Them Colored Harlem will enjoy an opportunity to support a real effort the coming Tuesday night when the students of the Ethiopian Art School appear in a midnight performance at the Lafayette Theatre. Miss Anne Wolter, who has been the moving spirit of this new school, is working overtime to make this affair a success and it is the least we can do in appreciation of the efforts of Miss Wolter and her associates by coming out in large numbers and giving morally and financially to this cause. After months of careful training these colored students are making their appearance in a drama that will surely appeal to the lovers of this form of entertainment. In years gone by Harlem socked to the same theatre because of the splendid dramas being offered by Robert Levy, and if this is a revival, even in a small way, it can be readily seen that this midnight performance will be something well worth the money.

Better Mailing Week Postmaster General New recently set aside the first week in June as "BETTER MAILING WEEK" when an active nation-wide campaign will be waged to reduce, as far as possible, the steadily mounting business of the Dead Letter Office, and to return to constructive channels the appalling waste occasioned by misdirected mail. Last year 21,618,168 undeliverable letters, representing an increase of 2,379,630 over the previous year, and 803,542 parcel post packages, an increase of 109,610, strapped from their right owners' own investments in the Dead Letter Office. During the same period the Government spent approximately $1,740,000 to look up addresses so that 200,000,000 other pieces of mail might go forward to their intended destinations. The Motion Picture Theatre Owners of America, through their board of directors, have offered the Post Office Department their full cooperation in the campaign and the use of screens in 16,000 movie theatres throughout the country to help carry the better mailing message to those who use the mails. Twenty thousand daily and weekly newspapers which have cooperated with the Post Office in other campaigns are being asked to give the widest publicity to the Department's plea for greater care in addressing. The principal point to be stressed in the campaign is to induce the mailer to place a return address on each piece of mail, for it is the lack of a return address that causes $^{19,2}$ out of every hundred letters to go to the Dead Letter Office. Therefore, a return address on every piece of mail would soon make the Dead Letter Office super- Pattern Making, Draping, Grading, Sketching and Operating; individual instruction positions guaranteed; courses for men and women. b FRECIAL WINTER RATES Merrimackville 2388 303 WEST 125TH ST.

AGENTS WANTED EVERYWHERE Wants for Perthshire THE thinker who contemplates the world with discernment will find myriads of things to inspire in him a moving sense of the profound wonder and majesty of the great universe. After he has thoughtfully considered the marvelous panorama spread before him, I believe he must finally arrive at the conclusion that the greatest thing in the world is—WOMAN. This need not be prompted by mere sentiment, but rather the result of an inquiry into the complexity, subtlety and charm of woman. God made woman when in His tenderest mood. With searchless wisdom and infinite pains He fashioned His incomparable masterpiece. With a lavish hand He endowed her with amiable qualities and compelling graces. To her He gave compassion, enthusiasm, a delicate fancy, a hunger for love—everything that could reflect His goodness was given her in abundance, that she might be the hope, comfort and inspiration of the world. Man's sphere is the great world that lies around him which he must subdue with brain and brawn. Woman's domain is the heart—an inner world that man cannot fully enter into, for his coarse nature cannot vibrate with the delicately shimmering colors and wave lengths of this exalted realm. Here is her empire, and it is a glorious kingdom of softness, address and complacency, which commands her attention. There are fondlings. The weapon is the artillery of tears. Avaricious in her quest for affection, neither rocks nor deserts nor span of seas can keep her from her birthright. In the true substance of her being is woven the yearning to know love's peace and glory, its storm and entrenching contentment, the ecstasy of wooing and mating, the starred dignity of motherhood. The effect of love upon woman is truly miraculous. LACIO HAIR GROWER GROWS HAIR Used with the Comus Spanish Barber Shop.

Activities The industrial situation among the women of China is one which demands the attention of women everywhere today. And, because the Y. W. C. A. is so vitally interested in every problem affecting girls and women, this matter of industrial conditions in China is a necessary part of the job. The Y. W. Y. A. is working with every force for unplift in China and particularly with the churches to improve these conditions—conditions under which little children work twelve-hour shift, at night as well as in the day. Conditions under which no ordinary precautions are taken for the protection of life and limb nor for the simplest sanitation. Every branch of the Young Women's Christian Association in New York City is having a hand in this work for China by contributing toward the support of our workers there and by giving publicity to the facts in the hope of turning public sentiment — the force we know — against these demonic conditions.

"Builder of Hale and Exclusive Gowns of All Kinds" Hampton Students Present Three Japanese Plays Dramatic Club at Famous Institute of Learning Scores Big Success in These Dramas HAMPTON, Va., May 11. The Shakespeare Dramatic Club, which is a student organization at Hampton Institute, recently presented three one-act Japanese plays which showed clearly a deep appreciation of the spirit of "Old Japan" and an ability to present on a modern stage the subtleties of Oriental drama. "The Thieves," according to Spencer W. Phraner, instructor in English, Teachers College, Hampton Institute, "was played with extreme gesture and laughable foolishness. It presented two stock characters, the servants, Gemi and Yemi, played by Thomas W. Young, of Norfolk, and Samuel E. Lee, Jr., of Moncks Corner, S. C., in their successful attempt to steal from their master. As no settings nor properties were used, the audience had to imagine everything. In their rascality these camps made one think of the similar type on the Roman comedy stage—the tricky servant of Plautus." The part of the master was played by Denton D. Johnson, of Gainesville, Fla. "Bushido," a classical tragedy written by Takeda Idumo and first produced in 1746, was adapted from "The Village School," otherwise called "Matau, the Pine Tree," tragedy vividly portrayed the loyalty of a Samurai who did not hesitate for an ideal to sacrifice his son. The cast follows: "Shusei, last of the House of Mitchizanah." James C. Helskel, Charlottesville, Va.; "His Mother," Cora P. Campbell, Norfolk, Va.; "Ghomba, representing Chancellor Shilhel," Herman L. Stanley, Pocomock City, Md.; "Matsuo, the Pine Tree, a Samurai," Oscar A.

Alfred McNichola, Jr., New York, N. Y.; "Tonami, his wife, Bertha Q. Ages, Scottsville, Va.; "Men-at-arms, Charles H. McLeod, Sumter, S. C.; and Lionel B. Fraser, New York, N. Y.; "Sanzutl, attendant on Chiyo and Kotani." Wilbur H. Townsend, Rocky Mount, N. G.; "Peasants," Edward Hargrove, New York, N. Y.; "Paul W. O. Cardoso, Nigeria, West Africa; Denton D. Johnson, Galinsville, Fla.; and Thomas W. Young, Norfolk, Va.; "Scholars of the village school," Harry W. Cooper, Harrisburg, Pa.; George J. Fleming, New York, N. Y.; "Samuel E. Lee, Jr.; Moncks Corner, S. C., and Mervin A. McKenney, Nominy Grove, Va. "Fororsken Love," a poetical drama, adapted from "Lay Priest Tagikuchi" by Anisaki, presented in five scenes in and about Kyoto, with the time of action about 1,150, tells the story of a Samurai's sacrifice when obedience to his father and his clan came in conflict with a love call. "The costumes and the make up," according to Spencer W. Phraner, "closely approximated that of the originals. The word "Bushido" indicates the code of honor of the Japanese noble—the peculiar code which puts loyalty in one's feudal lord above every other duty—and justifies whatever that loyalty demands." The cast follows: "Tokiyori, a Samurai," James L. Thatcher, Kansas City, Kas.; "Prime Minister," C. Colon Lassister, Rachel, N. C.; "Munemori," James N. Freeman, Jr. Kansas City, Kas.; "Tomomori," Wallace J. Campbell, Hartsville, S. C.; "Skikegake," Thomas L. Mann, Phoebus, Va.; "Sukemori," Wilbur H. Townsend, Rocky Mount, N. C.; "Father of Tokiyori," Grady B. Burwell, Selma, Ala.; "Yokobue, a young servant girl at the Palace of Kiyomori," Undine A. Davis, Hampton, Va.; "An old woman servant," Ethel M.

Y.; Charles H. Browe, Charlotteville, Va., and Harry W. Cooper, Harriburn, Pa.; "Grand mother of Jiro, a schoolboy," W. M. Tyre, Stony Point, Va. According to the "Hampton Student," the Japanese are extreme realists. Bloodshed, murder, and torture are shown in all their horror. At Hampton Institute, however, the audience was shielded from the sight of all that would make the plays repulsive and disgusting. New Bath House to Be Ready Soon Borough President Miller Says $412,000 Structure Will Open June 1 Borough President Miller has announced that he will open the new bath at 35 West 134th street, which is nearing completion, on June 1.

Health Exhibit to Open May 20 "It Pays to Keep Well to Be Taught Children An exhibit featuring the health and welfare work that is being conducted in Harlem by 16 agencies will be opened to the public from May 20 to 27, inclusive, at the 269th Infantry Armory, 143d street and Fifth avenue, it was announced today. Its purpose is to demonstrate effectively to the people of Harlem the activities that the various organizations are carrying on for their benefit. It is hoped in the way to familiarize the men and women of this community with the type of health and welfare work that is going on steadily throughout the year. The exhibit will also lay special emphasis on the "It pays to keep well" idea. An interesting program has been planned for the week that this exhibit is on public display. Among the features that are to be given are the presentation of a health play on the opening day, May 20, by the pupils of P. S. 29, a concert by the Junior Band of the 89th infantry and a special performance by S. Briant, health entertainer, of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. Motion pictures will be shown and an attractscope will be in active operation all during the week. The library will have a special display of books on one afternoon, the Charity Organization Society will place on duty a home economist who will give talks on the family budget and who will answer any questions in regard to that vital subject: the Department of Health expects to feature a fifth Test. There will be a special information booth to take care of questions that may be asked by those visiting the exhibit. Health and welfare literature will be distributed free of charge. Because of its educational value, special groups of children from Public Schools 5, 39, 68, 119, 133 and 157 will be brought to the exhibit each afternoon. The easterly and westerly ends of the drill hall of the army have been set aside for the exhibit, which will be open each day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The evenings will be for the most part, devoted chiefly to the members of the infantry. On Saturday evening, May 22, however, the exhibit will be open to the public. The sixteen agencies working in co-operation on this matter are Y. M. C. A.; Y. W. C. A.; Henry Street Nursing Service, Urban League Center; Association for All of Clipped Children; Charity Organization Society; New York Urban League; Circle for Public Health Among Colored People; Society for the Control of Cancer; Harlem Tuberculosis Committee; Children's Welfare Federation; Department of Health; New York Tuberculosis and Health Association; New York Public Library; Bureau of Child Hygiene; New York Heart Association; New York Diet Kitchen Association.

Africa Adopts American Plan British and Native Committees Set Up for Adjustment of Relations ATLANTA, Ga.—The plan of interracial adjustment through conference and co-operation, as worked out in the South by the interracial Commission, in being adopted in South Africa, also, according to reauthorization, in the North by C. T. Lorum, British Commissioner of Native Afrika, has set up such committees in Johannesburg, Capetown, Marianne Hill, Durban, Peter Martilabur and other centers. These committees meet monthly, discuss interracial problems and the needs of the natives and seek assistance in the interest of needed adjustments. It is understood that the southern interracial plan was first brought to the attention of South African officials three years ago by Dr. Then, Jesse Jones of New York, who was in Africa making a study of native education for the Phleas-Stokke Fund. General Jan Suntze, at that time British Premier of South Africa, is said to have been greatly interested and to have expressed the conviction British work for the indigenous should be rewarded to the books of the American plan. Proponents of the interracial movement in the South are gratified so that it is being observed with more attention to an update a month. cant contribution to the solution of race problems around the world. Not many weeks elapse but that one or more distinguished visitors from South Africa, usually educates students about the headquarters of the commission in this city and make a study of its principles and methods.

Salem M. E. Church Rev. Willard Monroe preached the morning sermon at Salem M. E. Church. He discussed at length what it should mean to each individual and what should be the proper reaction to hearing the gospel time after time. "As each attendance at a religious service is a renewal of spiritual strength and power likewise our lives must reflect a greater rounding out because of this increased power," he said. The Police Reserves of the 16th Precinct and their women's auxiliary assembled at the church at three o'clock for their fourth annual sermon. A. Charles Allison presided over a short preliminary program before Dr. Cullen spoke. A number of officers of the "unit were introduced" including Ma. Cassidy, in charge of the Reserves of four precincts of the city. Dr. Cullen in addressing the policemen said that they, because of the very nature of their work, needed religion.

Children's Bureau Studies Infant Mortality Twenty-three thousand babies born in eight American cities, studied through their first year, or as much of the first year as the infant survived, furnished the data for a comprehensive analysis of infant mortality in this country just made public by the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor. Expected to form the basis for further effort to reduce infant mortality in the United States, and especially the mortality during the first month of life, this report is considered one of the most important yet issued by the Children's Bureau. Latest figures, it is pointed out, indicate that there are annually 187,000 deaths under one year of age in the United States, 98,000 of them occurring during the first month.

I.; Brockton, Mass.; Saghaw, Mich.; New Bedford, Mass.; Waterbury, Conn.; Akron, Ohio; and Baltimore, Md. The eight cities is consolidated in this new report, which is the work of Dr. Robert Mors, Woodbury, former Director of Statistical Research for the Children's Bureau. Causea. Do Woolbury's analysis of the causal factors in the infant mortality among the 22,000 babies studied indicates the following main facts: 1. Causes peculiar to early infancy (related to prenatal and natal conditions) were first in importance and responsible for nearly one-third of the deaths under one year, the rate from these causes being 36.1. Gastric and intestinal diseases gave a rate of 32.4; respiratory diseases 19.6; epidemic and other communicable diseases 7.1. 2. The mortality decreased month by month during the first year of life, dropping from 14.8 in the first to 9.3 in the second month, and to 4.5 in the twelfth. 3. Secondary conditions influenced the mortality rates. August showed the maximum mortality from gastric and intestinal diseases. January the minimum. From respiratory diseases the maximum mortality occurred in February, the minimum in August. Epidemic and other communicable diseases were slightly more prevalent in the late Winter and early Spring. 4. Mortality was lowest for infants in August and highest for those born in June. 5. Mortality for male babies was about one-fourth higher than for females, a fact apparently explainable only by a difference in vitality to the disadvantage of the male sex. 6. Factors relating to the physical condition of the mother also influenced the mortality rate. It was found that instance, that infants of mothers with HIV, had a year after confection had a mortality from all causes over four times the rate for those whose mothers lived. A small group of babies whose mothers were known to have had tuberculosis had a very high mortality. High rates were also found among babies whose mothers were reported to have had convulsions. 7. First-born children had a slightly higher mortality than second-born. Leaving the first-born out of education tended to increase with the order of birth, although this increase was associated primarily with increasing economic pressure. 8. The age of the mother did not have any marked influence on the mortality rate except in the case of first-born babies, among whom higher rates prevailed when the mother was under 20 or over 40 years. The mortality rate was highest for infants born within a short interval (within approximately one year) after preceding births, and lowest when a four-year or longer interval occurred between births. 10. The mortality rate for premature infants was over six times as high as that for infants born at term. 11. Mortality from all causes was much higher among twins and triplets than among other babies. 12. Mortality among the exclusive fed babies averaged between three and four times that among the exclusively fed. Early artificial feeding was especially harmful. Partially breastfed babies had a mortality rate higher than the exclusively breastfed. but lower than the exclusively artificialized. 13. Infant-mortality rates classified according to the color and nationality of the mothers showed the lowest rates for Jewish babies, and in ascending order, higher rates for native white, German, Italian, colored, Polish, French-Canadian and Portuguese. The range was from 50.5 to 200.3. 14. Housing congestion, employment of the mother away from home and low wages on the part of the father, low were the important factors influencing the infant death rate. Irrespective of all other factors, it was discovered that the infant death rate varied inversely with the earnings of the father. Calvary Forum Notes Dr. Alma May Haskins talked on "Opportunity" last Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Calvary Forum meeting. Dr. Chas. Mayfield and Miss Layle Lane also spoke. A.

PANLESS TREATMENT How Wonderful for Aching Feet A Unity Protective Insurance Company Gives Third Annual Agents' Banquet A jolly good evening was spent at Craigleys 102 West 130th street Friday evening by officials and agents of the Unity Protective Insurance Association, of Syracuse, N. Y., on the occasion of its third quarterly banquet. With Deacon Johnson's entertainments as song leaders, Miss Juliet Simmons and dancer, an excellent dinner and a group of venetian spirits, a good time was had by all until the small hours. The guest of honor was Mr. William F. Gooshow, superintendent of agencies, whose birthday it also was. Mr. Vincent Jervis. New York manager, with offices at 200 Lenox avenue, in a brief address said that the business of the association had increased until it now had re-attributed to 0.000.000 attributed this to the square manner in which policyholders had been dealt with. "In the last 23 years," he said, "no one can say that he has ever come to any of our offices with a policy due that he did not get paid." Mr. Jervis also discussed plans for making it more profitable for policymakers to deal with the Unity, and reiterated the policy of the concern in showing no color discrimination with regard to employment of agents and the issuing of policies. "A square deal for everyone, regardless of color, is our motto," he said. The agents present, most of whom were colored, heartily agreed with the speaker. Among those present were Messera, E. R. Deming, Secy; D. L. M. Clark, Gen. Agent; P. W. Belrose, D. S. M. Fountles, A. S. H. H. H. Campbell, A. N. Stephen, R. L. Ungray, James Winsharrow, Wm. McFennon, Fred Allen, Nicholas Carter, A. F.

There are probably sufficient col- leges in America today to accom- modate those students who cannot, for a few years, stand the gaff of rules and regulations unjust though they may be of course it is patent knowledge that Dr. J. Charles Durkee has, for some reason or another, sought to make Howard over into a "highbrow" institution instead of keeping it open to the masses, and has practi- sed discrimination against cert- tain classes of applicants, as to whom special and extraordinary rules of debarment have been image. And it must be embarrassing to him that the "higbrow" atmosphere which he has sought to create in Howard's student body, should revolt against him administration. Even so, the true purposes of education must be served; and Negro youth of America must look upon Howard as a privilege rather than a right. Hence, the striking students, who might be justified were they men and women of the world rather than fledglings, are solely responsible for the spectacle of discord which Howard new presents—a picture which is not at all consoling to those who are fighting the battles of life in behalf of the struggling race.

JOHN POWELL, of Virginia, who writes hero- M ically in The Daily Press of Newport News, is a lite tle late in his efforts to preserve “racial integrity” for a race which is as mixed as the Anglo-Saxon race is in general, and the white Southern end of it in particular. ‘The so-called Anglo-Saxon (a hyphenate name in itself) consists ui Germans, Old Britons, Normans, Romans (themselves a complicated mixture of dark western Asia, and still darker north Africa), and of about everything else that is human. ‘There is hardly any strain of bloud that has not entered this Anglo-Saxon, But the surtherace of the United States has, in addition to all this miscege- nation. an inextricable infusion of plain West African Negro. There are between two and three million mulatwes, mostly in the South, today, besides the other “lost tribe” of one million or more of mulattucs why have become blood parts vi the white race in order to escape being oppressed by the white race.

For it is a law to prevent the thing that does not happen, or whieb 16 no rare as to be absolutely neglixible, But the intrusion of white males into the Negro race is occurring every minute in the south, every hour in Virginia. and every day in Newport News. And. remember, it Is the prominent white men of the clud-forming and law-making class that bas done, and is do- ing. this thing—against’ which they ute always crying out. Let me ask Mr. Powell and the editor of the Press some ques- tons which may start even thera to thinking: Do you know that the blood that hag been forced over from the white south into the black {once black! south has come from the very “best” class of the aristocrats? Do you know that the two Sreatest white men thut Vir- ginia ever produced (and which you would, perhaps, call ‘the two greatest men that the nation ever produced) both had colored children?
