BREAKS IN WIFE'S DOOR HOSPITAL FIGHT RENEWED Personal Experience Story Winners Will Be Announced in The Amsterdam News June 10 Oh Lord, How Long? WHIPPED on his bared back with bludgeons, brutally scarred with instruments of extreme cruelty, intimidated with threats of instant death, "framed up" on theft charges, cheated from his due wages, and defrauded in food purchases are a few of the experiences of George Diamond, a Negro worker in the turpentine camps of the Pensacola, Fla., district, now a witness in the Government's case of peonage against five soulless employers, on trial last week in the United States Court. The experiences of Diamond and his fellow workers make a New York "third degree" seem like a heavenly dream. They even make the life of a slave on a Spanish galleon, centuries ago before democracy had made much headway, seem like a vacation outing. To know that in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, such uncivilized acts are still in vogue, is hints to know that there is so much yet undone in civilization's enward march. The beast that is within some men is still a mocker of Love and Justice; and the laxity that still prevails in Florida and its sister Southern States in the preservation of law and order, where Negroes are concerned, is still a mocker of the customs of the United States. Has Florida a competent labor inspection staff which has any semblance of regard for the Negro worker? Does Florida still yearn for the lash and the buying bloodhounds? Is Florida statehood sleep that condonation of peonage is open and notorious? Are there not enough red-blooded men of pride to stamp out the parasitical practices of unjust employers, themselves too lazy to work and too dishonorable to pay others just hire for their labor? As Napoleon once said: "Good God, how mere men are!" We wonder how he would feel in the midst of a Florida camp. Sympathetic and thoughtful employers, even in the South, have realized, particularly during the last decade, that their own preserver (Continued on Page 2.)

FRANK, 258 East 138th St. near 3rd Ave. telephone Mott Haven 2236 DELEGATION SEES HYLAN ON HARLEM HOSPITAL Mayor Says He Is Opposed to Discrimination in Appointment of Internes Committee to See Dr. McGrath. Saturday morning a delegation of twenty persons from the Citizens' Welfare Council, Dr. Chas. Butler, president, called upon Mayor Hylan on the City Hall and presented him with a petition asking for a number of colored doctors and internes at Harlem Hospital. James N. Hubert, of the Urban League, chairman of the delegation, after a brief outline presented Dr. U. Conrad Vincent, former resident surgeon at Bellevue Hospital. Dr. Vincent told the Mayor of the attempts that had been made to get colored doctors and internes in the hospital since 1918, and how all efforts had failed when members of the medical board at the hospital had told Dr. McGrath president of Bellevue and Allied Hospital, that the white internes would resign if colored doctors were admitted. Dr. Vincent further stressed the fact that the opposition was based solely on color prejudice, as a colored physician to-day is as competent as any other, that he is often a graduate of a leading university, taking sometimes the highest honors. Dr. Vincent is himself, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Godfrey Nourse, who also addressed the Mayor, told him that the desire to get colored doctors and internes in the hospital was a point on which all agencies—social, religious and political—in Harlem were united. Tuberculosis, infant mortality, and social diseases were matters of great concern particularly to the colored people of Harlem, he pointed out, yet colored internes were not permitted to go to the hospital nearest them to acquire the very necessary experience; on these diseases. Instead, they were compelled to go outside of their neighborhood to such other hospitals as they were sometimes permitted to enter, all because of color prejudice. "The case of the colored internes in this respect," he said, would be similar to that of a white internes of New York City who would be compelled to go to Bydgoszcz to study in the hospital there while there is disease at his own door." Dr. Nourse, like Dr. Vincent, also emphasized that, as the delegation was opposed to segregation in any form, it was not asking for an entire staff of colored, but only for a liberal representation and freedom of entrance for the young Negro graduation. Ncvn. A. G. Garner and J. M. Robertson also supported Dr. Vincent and Nourse in abort addresses. Mayer Wylan, in his reply, said courteously that he had always been opposed to any form of discrimination. The general man, he said, had fought, blinded and died in the last war as in other wars, and the country had accepted his sacrifice then without any reason as to color, therefore he, personally, failed to find absolutely any justification for drawing a color in other relations. He was glad, he said, that the delegation had called on him personally, as he said, "we always had those lit- Two Poetry Volumes Scheduled This Fall LANGSTON HUGHES The poet whose first book of poems has just been accepted for Winter publication by Alfred A. Hemp. There will be a forward by Carl Van Vechten and a cover by Miguel Covarrubias. It is also reported that Harper & Brothers will publish a book of poems by Countee Cullen early this Fall. the fellows making a lot of trouble." The Mayor then wanted to know what would happen if the doctors at the hospital walked out if a number of colored ones were appointed. Dr. Nourse promptly assured him that he knew not only many leading colored doctors who could be counted on to do the work, but also many of the most skilled white physicians of the city who would be glad to offer their services. At the close of the conference the Mayor suggested that a committee be collected from the deputation to confer further with Dr. McGrath, himself, and his secretary on the matter. The following were named: Drs. Vincent and Nourse, James N. Hubort, Revs. Garner and Robinson, Mrs. Augusta Corbin, and J. A. Rogers. The signed petition was presented to the Mayor by Mrs. Corbin. Other members of the delegation were: Mrs. Bossy Boardes, Mrs. Esther G. Arbor, Mrs. Chan, Allison, Mrs. Sol. Johnson, Mrs. Gardner, Mr. Douglas, Mrs. Charles Butler, Mrs. A. L. Rightler, and others. Frederick Douglas Still Before Hall of Fame The name of Frederick Douglass, the escaped slave and famous statesman and abolitionist, who is one of the leading candidates this year for the Hall of Fame, will go before the electors in June, and the result of the votes of the electors will be known in November. The candidacy of Douglass has attracted national attention, and the latest of the great daily newspapers to endorse his candidacy was the Christian Science Monitor. The busts that were unveiled last Thursday, May 21, were those who had been elected some time ago, and had no reference to Douglass. Douglass is still a candidate, and a campaign will be waged throughout the country all the summer for his election. "Savannah Jim" Hold for Murder James Blige, 304 West 29th street, known as "Savannah Jim," is held for the alleged murder of a white man, who has been identified only as "Walter." INFLAMMATORY ETIORIAL REFERRED TO DEPT. OF JUSTICE The solicitor of the Post Office Department in Washington has notified Mr. Walter Wilkin, Assistant Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., that the inflammatory editorial which appeared in the Rockaway Beach, Argus, under date of April 22, 1925, has been referred to the Department of Justice for consideration. The editorial advised residents of the Beach to take the law into their own hands and punish alleged colored lawbreakers. It was referred to the N. A. A. C. P. by The Amsterdam News. Connor's Royal Gardens 'Locked Coorner's Royal Gardens, 71 West 138th street, was ordered padlocked for one year after a lengthy hearing before Judge John C. Knox in Federal Court last week. Policeman Arthur J. Parley said that he accompanied Policewoman Mae O'Neill to the resort and bought drinks with little difficulty. He said that he saw on one midnight visit white women who were under the influence of liquor and toting about. The case came up for retrial before Judge Knox on an order issued by Judge Henry W. Goddard. The owner, Jerry Preston, told Judge Goddard that he never sold any intoxicants in the place, but that adjoining there was a speechway operated by a man named "Archie." It was on this statement that padlocking proceedings had been stayed. Judge Knox ordered the defense to produce "Archie" and when he was not forthcoming Judge Knox issued the order closing the place. PITTSBURGH. Fa. May 28. Rev. W. Augustus Jones, pastor of Central Baptist Church, who recently created considerable comment and wonderment when he told newspapermen that the conduct of his wife, Mrs. Kidna Jones, was intolerable and that he contemplated divorce, brought divorce action in the Alleghany County Court here Wednesday when he filed particulars in which he charged his wife with misconduct with other men, some of them ministers. It will be recalled that last Winter in the press reports a certain minister, who was designated as "Irene," caused many to wonder who "Irene" is. It is said that "Irene" will be made public when the case comes up for trial. Mrs. Anne Degeneste, 61 West 129th street, was granted a decree of absolute divorce from her husband William, 267 West 129th street, by Justice Wagner. All-money of $10 a week was also granted.

Jack Dest, Negro, and lynched him. West had been arrested about two weeks ago and charged with attacking a white woman. At a hearing he was not identified as the attacker and was released. Upon his release he packed his belongings and boarded a train for Orlando.

They took him to a point near Longwood, Seminole County strung him to a tape and riddled the body with bullets. The body was cut down by deputies of Seminole County and buried. DEATH FOR BURGLARY HELD UNLAWFUL FRANKFORT, Ky., May 28.—Alex Gibson, colored, doomed to die in the electric chair for burglary, is a happy man today, and, according to certain lawyers, may be a free man soon. The 1924 Legislature of Kentucky passed a law making burglary a crime punishable by death or life in the penitentiary. Alex Gibson was caught burglarizing in Lexington. He did not kill anybody, he was not armed, but he had entered a man's home. He was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to death in the electric chair. His attorneys appealed the case, but the Fayette Circuit Court affirmed the decision. Friday of last week the Court of Appeals ruled the law was unconstitutional. ARE YOU A CITIZEN? NATURALIZED? WHEN? ALBANY.—The work of the census enumerators will be greatly facilitated if naturalized citizens will have their naturalization papers on hand between June 1 and 15, when the census will be taken, in order that these papers may be shown to the enumerators.

JURY FINDS "DRUNKEN" AUTO DRIVER IS INBANE (Praetor News. Servien.) WASHINGTON, D. G., May 28. For the first time in the series of ALLEGED CO- RESPONDENT IN BATTLE VS. BRISBANE Magistrate Finds James Pleasant Not Guilty When Arraigned for Disorderly Conduct. The long rivalry said to exist between Policeman Thos. Brisbane, of West 135th street, and James Pleasant, 40, I West 131st street, over Brisbane's wife, came up for an attack in the Height on Monday morning, when Pleasant was arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct. Pleasant was found not guilty by Magistrate Barrett and discharged. Brisbane told the court that last week he followed Pleasant to the apartment at 161 West 134th street, where his wife is living, and saw Pleasant enter. Shortly after he knocked at the door, he said, and he heard Mrs. Brisbane say, "That's my husband; don't let him in." Brisbane said that he then broke in the door, accompanied by witnesses, and found the pair undressed. The moment he entered, Pleasant grabbed a large glass dish and threw it at him, striking him on the shoulder, he said. A fight ensued and Brisbane took Pleasant to the station. Pleasant denied the charge. There is a divorce suit pending between Brisbane and his wife, with Pleasant named as correspondent. Attorney Richard L. Cunningham, 1132 St. Nicholas avenue, who appeared for Pleasant, convinced the court that Pleasant had gone to the flat to talk over this suit. Mr. Brisbane's testimony aided Pleasant further. She swore that Brisbane broke down the door with his revolver, entered the dining room, where the end Pleasant were in conversation, and assaulted him, ripping his coat and smashing his eyeglasses. Brisbane and his wife are separated. He is paying her alimony. Last December a squad of detectives from the Bouldin Detective Agency broke into Mrs. Brisbane's apartment at midnight and, it is said, discovered Pleasant; there under circumstances that led to Brisbane's filing suit for chocolate divorce through his attorney, Ms. Rucker. Through Attorney Conniston it was also brought out Monday morning that Bridgman was still paying directly for the appointment in which Mrs. Bridgman lived with her 15-month-old child. Bridgman said that he had moved out a year ago and is living at 86 West 12th street.

BLACK AND WHITE CANS 50¢ BIG GREEN CANS 25¢ more than a Million Packages are sold a year Lynching Murder, Says Ga. Judge Lynching Murder, Says Ga. Judge Instructs Grand Jury to Investigate Rocky Ford Affair BILYANIA, Ga., May 25.—The recent lynching at Rocky Ford, the only occurrence of the kind in Georgia this year, came in for a severe arraignment by Judge H. H. Strange in his charge to the grand jury on the convening of Superior Court here. "I do not condone or palliate in the last crime the victim of the mob is alleged to have committed," said Judge Strange. "If he was guilty he deserved the extreme penalty of the law, that of death. But the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Georgia expressly provide that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. Instead of giving the case this direction, the mob disregarded the law and, I understand, burned this party at the stake. As much as the victim may have deserved death every man engaged in that lynching is guilty of murder. They have a stain upon them that will be hard to eradicate." --- Judge Strange embodied in his charge a striking story of a relative whom, as a boy, he heard make the statement at Springfield camp meeting that God had forgiven him for every sin he had committed except one, and that he never expected to be forgiven for that. "I was quite a boy," said Judge Strange, "but I knew what he referred to. During the war between the States he had helped to Lynch Brad Jones for buying cotton and other produce from the slaves and.

He had helped to take a life contrary to law and he was suffering the pangs of his acts. What will there men do when they have to stand before the Judge of all the earth? There will be no escape there. You may ascend an earthly judge, but then we shall see Him face to face and we shall know as we are known. You, as grand jurors, investigate this matter and relieve your own consciences, as this court has done." The charge made a profound impression, and Judge Strange is backed by the leading people of this section in his courageous stand. The result of the grand jury's investigation is awaited with deep interest.

Colorful News "Movies" (Continued from Page 1.) vation depends, more than anything else, upon the humanization of their conduct towards labor. Upon the majority of them the dawn has broken that ill-treatment of labor, like chickens, always comes home to roost. The black man's stultification in the South has exacted the heaviest toll in sectional progress that this country has ever seen; and it has been only recently since Southern capital, believing that the South has undergone a change of heart, has lent its aid to Southern industry, that the South has begun to recoup its losses. But the peon camps of Florida and Georgia are again making deep saves in the Southland and, unless it well wishes and well-doers can, stamp out such inhuman storehouses of fortune, the South cannot hope to march forward. How long peonage practitioners can live and thrive in the South, apparently no one but God Almighty knows; but how long Southern States will continue to pay the high price which unilicization always exerts from its proponents depends upon whatever quickening spirit of justice there get remains in a section of the U.S. A which continues to just the body and soul of the suffering black men and women within its borders. R. 1. Keeps Step In his disentaining opinion in the Civil Rights cases (1875), armed before the United States Supreme court during the late sententions, Mr. Justice Harlan said: "Property does become clothed with a public interest when used in a manner to make it of public consequence and affect the community at large. When, therefore, one devotes his property to a use in which the public has an interest, he in effect grants to the public an interest in that use and must submit in that use and must submit for the common good to the extent of the interest he has thus created. He may withdraw his grant by discontinuing he use, but, so long as he maintains the use, he must submit to the control." Despite the judicial overruling of the Civil Rights cases by the U. S. Supreme Court, Justice Harlan's theory, above quoted, has been the guiding star for numerous states which in the past decade have thrown a Civil Rights protectorate about their Negro citizens by enacting Civil Rights bills which failure to the ordinary privileges visualized by Justice Harlan. And now comes little Rhode Island with a Civil Rights bill, ostomping discrimination in public places and otherwise against colored people. The bill has passed both houses and will probably be signed by Governor Pothier before this article searches the reading public. It was fought significantly, of course, by the few who, even in this enlightened age, cannot see the wide difference between social equality and public liberty. It ran the gamut of lengthy debate, entailing logic and antlogic. But, upon signature by the Governor, it will safely follow In the wake of the Lavy Bill of New York and similar bills in other States, which have shown their increasing civilization by endowing to establish for colored people the public courtesy of inns, hostelries and public places of amusement frequently sought by the Negro, not because he desires social equality in its strict sense, but because, believing this country to be founded upon love and liberty, he seeks, in a personal way, the same comforts or recreation which go with the public interest affecting the community at large. Thousands of dollars have been assessed upon the judgment books of New York courts against innkeepers, restaurateurs and theatre owners who have violated the terms of the Levy bill. The number of hard-head cases decreases yearly, and with the decrease in number comes a corresponding increase in respect for colored patrons as to whom the realization is persuading the public mind that public association is a momentary one, based upon dollars and cents, and that social equality is a personal and private matter based upon individuals, whose minds must meet before any social equation is perfected. In the meantime, we welcome the action of Rhode Island, who thus shows that she has become thoroughly thoughtful and sympathetic in her stewardship over the citizens of the United States whose domain is bounded by her State lines. Birmingham Steel Festival On May 2. hundreds of Negro iron and steel workers in the Birmingham steel district held their May Day festival. It was not a day of bombthrowing, agitation and unrest. Rather, it was a day of peace and thanksgiving fostered and promoted in behalf of the humble steel workers, who, having given of their best efforts to their employers, were deserving of a recreative celebration which memorialized their honest endeavors and which bespoke the commendation of those steel interests which realise the worth of Negro labor and, in recognizing it, are willing to take a step forward in promoting its comfort and contentment. American labor is the most efficient labor in the world, and the American steel workers of dark hue at Birmingham are as efficient as any similar group in the good old U. S. A. There is much cause for reholling that at least some of the American employer interest such as Judge E. H. Gary and George Gordon Crawford of the Tennessee Coal & Iron R. R. Co., who made this May's festival of the Birmingham Negro steel workers a reality. F. J. RICHARDS Custom Tailor Perfect fitting garments for Ladies and Gentlemen Made to Order.

It wryth two in the bush, and, accordingly, took it upon themselves to celebrate the work attainments of the black men who puddle and refine the molting contents of the steel furnaces. It would be a good thing if such policies were emulated by certain other American employers who think of themselves first and their work forces last. Some American ideals could be made over into realities if all American employers would sincerely adopt the "America First" policy and apply it indiscriminately to all American citizens. Sizzling steel has been an easy element for Negro labor to overcome, and there is no reason to believe that in any other industry the Negro worker would not be an amuch at home as he is in the steel mills. But it takes more than mere work to produce a good worker. It takes sympathy, encouragement, recreation, and a pure heart. Then there must be added fullsome opportunities, such as American employers sing and pray about, but walk by without speaking, on the industrial pathway. If the word "Morale" ever meant anything, it does in this modern day of industrial selfishness. In the factory or in the field, color cannot be churned into labor by products; and, if American employers would take the world by the horns and say: "American labor, white and black, is going to receive the full benefits of our capital investment," the world would soon forget, nor would it even care, that a handful of employers, at one time, tried to keep the bars up against Negro labor. The consuming world would look at the results and no satisfied. Cannot all American employers adopt that policy NOW? A Landmark to Pa88 Staggering along under financial deficiencies, it is reported that the famous Lincoln Hospital, originally founded in New York City nearly 80 years ago for the exclusive interment of Negro patients, is soon to close its doors. On the spacious triangle at 141st street and Southern boulevard the Lincoln Hospital has administered comfort to the shocking pains of the afflicted, both white and black, for mary, many years. We cannot repress a disconsolate sigh at the passing of Lincoln, for, within its walls, so mother says, we first saw the light of day. Eighteen years later we adorned one of Lincoln's pots, in old Ward 3, for nearly three months. Significant in the history of Lincoln Hospital is the fact that for many years its entire nursing staff has been composed of splendid Nogro women, who have entered the field of health service, well trained and full of the sacrificing spirit of Lincoln Hospital. The New York State requirements, always high, exacted from the nurse trained technical training in chemistry and other difficult subjects in addition to the regular nursing curricula. Long before Freedmen's Hospital of Washington and Provident Hospital of Chicago had reached their present excellent standing, Lincoln Hospital was turning out Negro nurses as efficient as any nurses in the land. Aside from Mrs. Adah P. Thomas, a national figure in the profession, we recall high commendations which have been paid to such graduates as Miss Anna Papino, now of Florida; Miss Ausley of Atlanta, Ga.; Miss Della M. Sandusky of Kentucky; Miss Beasle V. Brown of Wilmington, Del., and many of their associates, who blazed the trail in expert training for nurses who were to follow in later years from other struggling hospitals. Alas, though. It is said that "some sort of politics" is behind the prospective closing of Lincoln Hospital, which should be rightfully taken over by the City of New York. And we believe that, if the right steps are taken through Mayor Hyllan and the New York administration, the famous institution may not pass away. If the Democratic administration of the City of New York has any heart at all, here is a chance to prove it. Automatic Platel in Girl's Room.

POSTPONED Blaise Diagne, member of the French Chamber of Deputies from the Senegal, who agined agreements with Rayford Logan of this city to tour America and for whom definite arrangements on a large scale were made in fifteen metropolitan centers, is not expected to make the trip as proposed at this time, because of recent developments in the French Colonies. The deputy is the ranking member of the colonial committee of the chamber. Diagne recruited the Senegalese troops which won fame on the Alaise, the Marne, at the Chemin des Dames and at Verdun. He was entrusted with this mission by Clemenceau in 1917; but refused the decoration of the Legion of Honor for the service. Since trouble began in the colonies, Diagne has been the subject of litigation at Paris, but has been victorious in his legal battles.

May 23—After deliberating seven hours, the jury in Federal Court, which for five days has been hearing testimony against five Calhoun County men on peonage charges, announced a verdict of guilt. The defendants were: Charles Land and Mood B. Davis, Calhoun county turpentine operators; Frank Daniels, Will Proctor and Gary Whitfield, employees of the Naval Stores Company in the camps where the peonage cases had their origin. At the trial it was testified that the white land owners and timber operators forced certain Negroes, at the point of revellers, to severly log other Negroes with sticks or blackjacks and crotch-tine talks. It is said that the victims were compelled to lie down in the road in their stomachs, after being attried of their clothing, and take from five to ten minutes' bentitions from the enforced "whip" wielder. Bewitt Stoner, a prisoner, testified that he was forced, at the point of gune in the hands of the white defendants, to beat five Negroes one at a time, with a large Stoner said that he was not whipped. He said the white men or as he whipped the naked men. Stoner said he was compelled to whip each one about ten minutes. He told the court that the bosses caused incarceration on the basis of the beaten men.

"Builder of Note and Exclusive Gowns of All Kinds" ODESSA 2233 SEVENTH AVENUE NEW YORK CITY Tel. Morningstar 6238 N L Y A M A V E R I L O Unique Housing Experiment in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA- That it is possible to make some improvement even under the worst housing conditions, has been proven by a unique housing experiment, which has been worked out by Mrs. Lena Trant Gordon for the Department of Public Welfare of the city of Philadelphia, and Forrester B. Washington, executive secretary of the Armstrong Association. On a little street in South Philadelphia, where the housing conditions are highly unfavorable, the landlords have been persuaded to make general repairs. The inducement for this was the promise to the landlords from the city that it would make special improvements in the street without raising the taxes. The Armstrong Association has formed a neighborhood club of all the tenants in the street, and has taught them to beautify the interior of their humble apartments by the use of inexpensive curtains, flower boxes and the like. A donation of plants has been obtained from the City Horticultural Department. Thus, for the first time, landlords, tenants, a municipal department and a private agency have cooperated to improve housing conditions, which at one time seemed almost hopeless. While this effort does not produce new houses, it does serve to check some of the evils growing out of conditions as they are. Splendid Workmanship Marks K. of P. Structure CHICAGO. Commissioner of Conciliation Morris Lewis, in the Chicago district, reports that the foundation work for the monumental Knights of Pythias structure at 37th place and South State street is about completed.

The last uptown report meeting for the Columbia-Praebytarian Medical Center was held Thursday, May 21, at the Royal Palma Restaurant, 135th street and Broadway, at 7 o'clock. There were approximately 150 workers present. J. Conrad Scheiber, associate chairman of the uptown division, presided. The amount reported in new subscriptions toward the $500,000 goal of the uptown workers was $11,437.50; of this sum the man's division brought in $7,563 and the women's division $6,869.50. This brings the total reported to date for the uptown campaign up to $104,745.05 and the grand total of both uptown and downtown divisions to $3,175,376.26. One more meeting for workers of both uptown and downtown divisions is scheduled for Thursday, May 28, at 12:45 p. m., at the Hotel Astor. Among the new contributions announced was a ward bed in memory of the late Philip A. Payton. Two thousand, five hundred dollars of the $6,000 necessary to build a ward bed was given by Mr. Payton's sister, Mrs. Phoebe Susan Worthham, and the other half made up from contributions collected by Dr. Louis T. Wright's team in Harlem. It was announced that a church gifts committee had been organized in Harlem to assist the medical center project, with Rev. F. A. Cullen of the Salem Methodist Churens, 129th street and Seventh avenue, as chairman and Rev. R. M. Bollen of the First Emannuel Church, and Rev. A. C. Powell of the Abysinian Baptist Church assisting. A temporary committee to work out definite plans for carrying on this permanent support of the medical center was appointed with Mrs. Vanamee as chairman. The other members of the committee are: Mr. Collin H. Woodward, Dr. Louis T. Wright, Dr. J. Gardner Smith and J. Conrad Schelder. COLORED TEACHERS MAY GET FREE TRIP Last week's account in The Amsterdam News has brought Miss Louise H. Jackson, 114 West 142d street, teacher in P. S. 89, a large number of coupons from the Daily and Sunday Graphic, which is offering a free trip to Europe to the ten school teachers with the leading number of votes. Miss Jackson who is the only colored teacher competing, still requires a large number of votes to be one of the ten. This, however, could quickly be remedied if each newspaper reader in Harlem would send her at least two coupons. Rev. W. W. Brown, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, among others, has promised to back Miss Jackson to the limit.

This fighter will top the 100 Crack Cuban Flyweight, Who Has Created a Furore in Fistic Circles Ever Since His Arrival Here. He Will Be Seen in Action at the Commonwealth Club Tomorrow Night Against Joe (Scotty) McKeon. card of the Commonwealth Sport Club this coming Thursday night against Joe (Scotty) McKeon in what promises to be another thrilling engagement. Last Saturday night Chick Sugga, bantam champ, whose consecutive victories became the talk of the fight world, lost on a foul to Chick Kansas. That Sugga fouled his white opponent there can be no doubt. Intelligent colored fans who have followed the game and took particular note of Sugga's work in this battle gave it as their opinion that the colored battler simply threw away his opportunity for victory when on three occasions he struck Kansas loss. As one who has tried to be fair to all contestants, regardless of color, we rise to remark that those fans with a penchant for violating their disapproval in a disorderly manner, or doing all of us more harm than good. Even violence will not make a reference change his decision and in the should be pointed out. JAP TEAM TO PLAY HOWARD UNIVERSITY Bouts At Commonwealth To-morrow Night coolly, as we are the ones to suffer when the white folks decide to cut out the mixed boots. Many of us are noted for doing the wrong thing at the right time (for those who would take away the chance from these colored fighters) and colored fans are advised against doing the things that would again raise the bar against the colored mitt pusher. One of the surprises last Saturday night came when Dizie Diamond put up one of his best battles and won over Tony Sirocco. The Italian in a more seasoned fighter than any the Dizie has met recently, and the fact that the colored boy could come from the rear and give Sirocco the sight he did has sent his stock up again. The hosts at the Commonwealth will be staged this Thursday night NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1925 instead of Saturday on account of Decoration Day falling on Saturday. With Black Bill heading the card it is safe to say that all roads will lead to the Commonwealth tomorrow night. Black Bill's slashing wins over Wee Wee Willie Woods, Joe Dillon and others stamps him as one of the most formidable flyweights in the ring today and a real challenger for Pancho Villa's and Frankie Genaro's titles. McKeon made a hit a week ago when he took the measure of Irish Bobby Green. Scotty will prove a worthy footman for the Cuban star. The balance of the card consists of a six rounder between Bert Little John and Joe Lewis and six fours. In the latter numbers Rube Goldberg meets Lew Cooper, Al Vitola opposes Al Butterfield, George Cuneo goes against Johnny Nieves Phil Fittibaldi tackles Emil Logue, Joe Smith, the Wallabout Market heavyweight champion, tackles Arthur McLaurin, and Tony Picciano goes against Frank Hagan. Tiger Flowers Starts Campaign to Regain Laurels Lost at Hands of Delaney Starting at Boston, May 18, in a ten-round match against Pal Reed, the sensational "Fighting Deacon," Theo. "Tiger" Flowers has inaugurated another campaign against the middle and light heavyweights that will equal, if not surpass, his remarkable campaign of the first of this year, in which Flowers fought eleven matches in eight weeks and earned for himself and manager more than sixty thousand dollars. Fight experts marvel at the endurance Flowers has displayed and the speed he is able to maintain while fighting every four or five days against the best in the two divisions. Manager Walk Miller only smiles when favorable comments are being made regarding the spectacular and picturesque Flowers and says: "It's the Friends of "Four Horsemen" Assured of Big Time This Friday Night Friends of "Four Horsemen" Assured of Big Time This Friday Night A story is going the rounds these days to the effect that "The Sheiks" lost their desert robes recently while the "Three Musketeers" lost their swords. It is even said that the sailing of a certain famous ship was threatened by disaster by the loss of her rudder, but the experienced pilot says he came through the Narrows without any trouble and is prepared to "tell the world." We do not expect any such story to go the rounds after the famous "Four Horsemen" of Harlem ride forth from Manhattan Casino the coming Friday night on their yearly dash to the amusement world where they bring with them all the things that go to make the night one of the most pleasant for their many friends. These boys have served the public well in the past and nothing has ever attached itself to the ride of the horsemen 16 militate against their efforts at this time. For the occasion Fletcher Henderson and his best array of musicians will furnish a dance program of the latest music that will appeal to the most exacting. Extensive preparations have been made to entertain a large crowd at the casino. For on the previous occasions when those same riders dashed to the fore it has always been before a full house with all their patrons leaving at the end of the affair fully satisfied. The Manhattan Casino will be tastefully decorated for next Friday night. Each and every horseman has been appointed a personal committee of one to look after the interests of the guests and nothing will be left undone to see that those attending get the full benefit of all the good things that go on make the ride of the popular harlem bars the success it should be.

Browns clean life he lives, his great desire to always do anything he undertakes as good or better than anyone else can do it, which explains his remarkable success in the boxing game." Flowers is scheduled to fight Lou Bogash, 12 rounds, May 25, at Bridgeport, Conn.; Jock Malone, 10 rounds, at East Chicago, Ind., June 5; Lee Anderson, 10 rounds, at Philadelphia, Pa., June 8. Cleveland, O., is to select his opponent for a 10-round match, June 16. Boston, Mass., is also to select an opponent for June 22. Jack Stone is his opponent on June 24 at Elizabeth, N. J. The above schedule calls for six matches in four weeks. Manager Miller says that he has 25 offers on the waiting list after the above have been completed, but that he will give Flowers a layoff of four or five weeks and that he hopes within that time to be able to induce Champion Harry Greb to meet Flowers in a decision match at the middleweight poundage. Several New York open-air promoters are desirous of closing a Greb-Flowers championship go. The "Tiger" has not been altogether idle during his idleness in the ring. He has appeared in the leading role of a five-reel feature photoplay, written around interesting events of his life. The play is now being edited and will be ready to release some time during August. While the play is not a fight film, its title will be "The Fighting Deacon." Captain Henry Wilson piloted the Moonlight Ship to a safe mooring last Wednesday night, although it did look as if the captain would join the "Three Musketeers" who lost their swords, the "Harlem Sheiks" who lost their desert robes and a few others meeting disaster recently. However, the bold captain, being the skipper that he is, successfully steered the ship through the FIVE dangerous passages and, while her decks were not jammed as in down gone by, it was a fine complement of mariners that made the trip. The prizes for the Charleston contest were won by Robert Anderson, first prize; Robert Pearson, second, and Frank Brooks third. The judges of the contest were Clarence Hutchinson, Wm. Hullett, O'Davidian Beatrise, James Parson, Eugene Rhodes, Andrew Boyd, Willie Green, Russell West, Leather Drayford, Wee Wee Barton and George Taylor.

About Things Theatrical ENTER NOW THE BRECHER INTERESTS. Confirming the story which appeared exclusively in these columns last week, comes the following statement from the new interests taking over the Lafayette: "The Lafayette Theatre, located at Seventh avenue, between 131st and 132d streets, has changed hands, and is now under the management of Mr. Leo Brecher, who has, until recently, controlled the Odeon, Roosevelt and New Douglas Theatres." The new management announces a most interesting policy—a combination of high class Motion Pictures, Vaudeville and Musical Comedies. In announcing this policy Mr. Brecher said: "Structurally, the Lafayette is by far the most beautiful theatre in Harlem, and the changes which we are planning will make it a credit to the community and to the theatrical profession. "After an exhaustive study of Harlem's entertainment needs, we have decided upon a continuous policy of motion pictures, vaudeville and musical comedy reviews. The best obtainable in Pictures, Vaudeville and Miniature Musical Comedies—this will be our motto. The connections already made with producers and actors assure a distinctly novel, surprising and delightful show. Everything will be done for the comfort and enjoyment of the patrons of the Lafayette. "In order to accommodate those whose working hours do not permit them to see early shows, the performances will be continuous from 1 P. M. to 12 midnight. "The theatre will be under the direct supervision of Mr. Frank Schiffman, who will be assisted by a resident manager and a competent house and technical staff." Burnerdene Mason and Frederick Moss in Joint Recital June 7th "The new policy will be started Thursday, June 4. The program for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 4, 5, 6 and 7. will consist of Richard Dix's latest feature sensation, "Men and Women," a two-reel comedy and a film review of current events. The vaudeville program will include a novel tabloid review, written and directed by Eddie Green. The cast will include Henrietta Loveless, Eugene Pugh, Lorenzo McLane, Paul Bass, Clara Smith and a chorus of eight of the loveliest girls on the stage. "The opening night, Thursday, June 4, will be a gala event in Harlem. The management expects to have as their guests the most prominent men and women in Harlem's social, political and theatrical life." We bid Mr. Brecher and his associates welcome to the Lafayette. We believe if any combination of white men can make this theatre go "over the top" it is the energetic Mr. Schiffman and those with whom he has been affiliated for a long time. Mr. Schiffman, we believe, will come to the Lafayette with the same idea anent advertising in the Negro papers that held good during the time he had direct supervision over the Roosevelt and Douglas Theatres. Fine Program Arranged by These Popular Artists at Mount Cavalry Independent Baptist Church. An unusually fine treat for its store for lovers of good music in the joint song recital to be given at Mt. Calvary Independent Methodist Church, West 140th street, Seventh and Edgecombe avenues, by Miss Hurmerdine Mason and Mr. Frederick D. Moss, on Sunday, June 7, at 4 P. M. This idea was that he did not consider it necessary to use the Negro paper as a medium of reaching the colored people. And, strange to relate, after looking about, taking a deep breath and sticking to the path of righteousness, we believe that MR. SCHIFFMAN GOT THE IDEA FROM NOTING THE POLICY OF THE ONLY THEATRE SUPPOSEDLY RUN AND CONTROLLED BY NEGROES IN HARLEM, WHERE NEGRO NEWSPAPERS ARE CONCERNED. Miss Mason is a young but accomplished singer, with a wide repertoire, being equally at home in French and English songs, operatic ales, and the spirituals. In her recent debut at Acollan Hall her rich contralto voice won her the instant favor of her audience and called forth high praise from several leading critics. We rise to also remind Mr. Schiffman that each and every race boasts people of a certain stamp who will never lend their aid to the true propagation of progress unless certain ideas emanate from their own group, and the fact that one theatre, even though it happens to be run by one of us, refuses to see the wisdom of at least doing many of their patrons the courtesy of letting them know in advance what they have to offer, should not be taken as a criterion of conditions in this community. The Musical Courier, one of America's leading music journals, said of this recital: "At Acellan Hall, on April 3, Burdene Mason, a colored contralto, was heard in her debut recital. Her program included flute operatic aria, a group of spirituals, and songs in French and English. Miss Mason revealed a voice of particularly appealing quality, with the mellowness, tenderness and pathos peculiar to voices of her race. She also has interpretative ability and natural musical instinct." We have always had the kind of Negro among us who would put a crimp in anything laudable we might start out to do. Success comes to some of us "in spite of" and not "because of" lots of times. We note that the same people operating the theatre we have in mind started a department store AND USED THE COLORED NEWSPAPER TO ADVERTISE. The Negro newspaper in America holds an anomalous position on account of race prejudice. Did America stand for right and justice to all her people, there would be no "Negro newspaper"—all papers would be AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS, with the possible exception of those run for the benefit of Jews and other races seeking a haven in this land which has indeed been the land of promise to them. The New York Herald-Tribune said, similarly: "Mine Mason gave evidence of a voice of unusual quality, with a notably smooth and rich tone and lower notes of effective depth, as well as interpretative skill"; while the New York World If it is true that Mr. Schiffman and his associates are looking forward to the attendance of the "most prominent men and women in Harlem's social, political and theatrical life," we take this opportunity of advising him that if they are truly representative of this race to which we belong they are readers of the colored newspapers and his announcement advising us of the change of management will reach them just like any advertising matter we might carry telling of the new turn of things. This is no plea for advertising. Mr. Schiffman can take a little time off and carefully peruse the columns of this newspaper and he will find that it stands supreme in the community in that it carries the bulk of the business and other advertising matter of both races. "She revealed a true and sympathetic voice which was rich in that curiously stirring quality and tenderness which is characteristic of this type and has something of mystery about it. A few of her numbers forced these tones into a soprano range which was curiously beyond them, but most of her groups—and particularly the spirit wars—were admirably adapted to the singer's serene style and personality." King of Tamar. The Lafayette Theatre has been looked upon as the place where Negro actors all over the country should appear, at least once. We speak of those actors and actresses who looked to this theatre before the coming of the golden era that carried them to Broadway and to those same actors and actresses who looked to the Lafayette AFTER THE DECLINE OF THE GOLDEN ERA. If this theatre in all these years maintained the policy of serving the actors and prospective patrons through the column of our Negro newspapers, the new order will indeed be a change that will leave Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago and a score of other cities without the information which they sought weekly through the columns of their own paper. Mr. Moss, also youthful, has scored similar success. In a recent recital at Boston he captivated his audience with his remarkable lyric tenor voice. Speaking of this the Musical Counter mild: "Frederick D. Moss, tenor, appeared recently in Boston. Moss, presenting an exceedingly interesting recital, Mr. Moss has a fine voice of excellent quality and pure tenor value." Instead of singing the "advertising blues" in front of the Lafayette Theatre, we think the colored brother who has spilled ink in behalf of this house would do well to congregate a little higher up on Seventh avenue, and let his wails reach the ears of those who will advertise "when we can afford it." Commencing in the next issue of this paper will appear a series of articles on the uncertain path which the Lafayette travelled over from the early days to the present. The Keith-Albee Circuit Theatre Boys are all ready for the big affair which they are staging at Manhattan Casino on Friday evening, June 5. under the head of "Broadway Frivolities" and which promises to be one of the season's best bets. One of the biggest Charleston contests will be staged and Will Vodery's Orchestra will furnish the music. Not since the time George Caldwell maneuvered Vincent Lopes to the Lafayette Theatre so much interest has been manifested in any affair of its kind. Contestants wishing to enroll are asked to leave their names at the office of this paper. We again direct attention to the advertisement of this affair, which appears in another column of today's paper. F. Wilson's "Confidence" at the Lafayette The last vandeville bill under the present management at the Lafayette Theatre is being shown this week, headed by Frank Wilson's "Confidence." one of the best little race playlets which has been seen around here. Miss Edna-Lewis Thomas appeared in this same playlet at the same place about five years ago and will again the role that did much in focussing attention upon her. Others in the playlet are Frank Wilson, the antidor of it, and George Fraction. Wilson first presented this little offering at the Lincoln Theatre and it went over big. Others on the Lafayette bill this New Revue to Be Installed at Popular Palace Garden on Seventh Avenue Billy Pierce's All-Colored Stars, With Orchestra, to Open Tonight Tonight (Wednseday, May 27) the Palace Garden Club will be the scene of unusual activities from early evening until early dawn.

This will be the last week of the present management at the Lafayette Theatre. Many changes are being planned by the Brecher people, who are taking over the house. It is no new story; that the Amsterdam News was the first to give out any information on "the great change." We went to the source, got our information and again played fair with our public instead of waiting for the word from the source that kept the other papers in the dark.

Sergeant Hangs It Heavy on Henry Shaw McVey Looms as the Only Colored Fighter to Give Sammy a Real Fight These Days Sorgt. Sammy Baker took his plie-driving right to the Ridge- wood Grove Sporting Club, in Brooklyn, last Saturday night and hung it heavy on Henry Shaw, who aspired to a chance with Larry Estridge some time ago. The sergeant has piled up a remarkable record and recently he came into our midst and sent Bust Arbuckle to the Land of Nod with one of his well directed pilot driving rights. Shaw, like most opponents of the bold sergeant, battled handsomely until the seventh round, when Baker uncovered his heavy artillery and knocked Henry cold. Jack McVey at the present time looms as the only colored fighter with a chance against the soldier. Although announced to meet Baker at the Commonwealth Sport Club, nothing has been heard further anent this battle. Let's have it Jess.

Anderson, Member of State Advisory Board, Pleads for Membership. A plea to members of the Negro race to enroll in the United States Flag Association has been issued by Charles W. Anderson, Internal Revenue Collector in New York. Mr. Anderson has accepted membership on the State Advisory Board of the Association. In his letter which was made public by Colonel Thomas Denny, chairman of the New York State Board, recently, Mr. Anderson said: "When a movement like the United States Flag Association is broad enough and inclusive enough to embrace all Americans without regard to race, creed, color or estate, I stand ready to fight for it until after sundown. All colored Americans, with exceptions too slight to be noticed, are passionate lovers of the Flag, for under it the greatest achievement the world has ever known was made—the abolition of American slavery without the dissolution of the American Union." The United States Flag Association has been organized to build up a peace-time patriotism by inciting a higher respect for the American Flag and the ideals it symbolizes, as well as the task of teaching its proper usage on public occasions. It is seeking a membership of one million throughout the country, and it now concentrated on an intensive effort for a membership enrollment in New York State with a minimum quota of 109,000.

Notes At the meeting of the Branch Committee of Management, on May 6, it was voted to change the name of the branch from "The Colored Women's Branch" to "The West 1327th Street Branch." This was done for several reasons. In the first place, now that the residence building is being erected upon the site next to the administration building it is reasonably certain that this location is a permanent one and it is, therefore, desirable to have the location well advertised in the public mind. Then, too, the former name was given the branch solely for the convenience of strangers in the city who usually had to locate the branch through the telephone directory. This reason is removed now, since, for purposes of economy, there will be one switchboard for both buildings, and since "residence for colored girls" will appear as an explanatory note in the telephone directory. The exhibition to be held by the Education Department on Thursday and Friday, May 28 and 29, will fully repay those who stop in to see it. It will be held in the lobby on the main floor—a very accessible spot. As you walk along Seventh avenue turn in at 137th street and drop into the "Y" for a few minutes. Summer classes in all of these most attractive arts and crafts, as well as in stenography, beauty cultule, etc., will begin on Monday, June 1. The "Y" is very grateful to Mrs. Beatrice Hamilton for magazines. The Girl Reserves of the Y. W. C. A., 137th Street Branch, are certainly putting forth enthusiastic efforts to put "Se-a-wanna," an Indian operetta, over the top. Without a doubt from the great in- larget shown the auditorium of the Y. W. C. A. on Wednesday and Thursday nights, June 3 and 4, will be crowded to its capacity. The performance begins at 8.30 doors close at 9 o'clock, so to be sure of a good and comfortable seat it will be wise to come early. The proceeds are for the Camp Fund. You Can Keep Money If You Ask These Twelve Questions A sixty-five-year-old man recently killed himself when he found his life's savings gone. He had been prevailed upon to sell the high-grade public utility securities in which he had invested his money and buy the stock of a fly-by-night concern which promptly failed. This tragedy led a large manufactured gas utility to draw up and publish the following questions, which should be asked and satisfactorily answered before any investor trusts his money to any enterprise: 1. Is the industry well established, past the experimental stage, and showing a healthy growth? 2. Is the investment backed by actual physical property sufficient to justify the capitalization? 3. Has the security paid interest or dividends consistently over a period of years, and is it now violating a satisfactory return rather than carrying indefinite promises of dividends at some future time? 4. Is the business stable in character, dealing in commodities for PORO Grace Gardin HAIRDRESSER Now at 109 W. 139th ST.

Is the enterprise large enough to survive active competition from other concerns engaged in similar business? 11. Is there any assurance that money paid for stock will be invested in the business instead of going into the pockets of promoters? 12.

Corc. 163rd St. IGHT Head of Industrial League The Brooklyn League of Industrial Women elected a young colored woman as president of that organization at a meeting held at the Central "Y" Monday evening, May 17. Miss Floria Pinkney of Ashlaud Place Branch had demonstrated her qualities of leadership as an active member of the League and in various industrial conferences that she received twice as many votes as the white nominee for the presidency. Miss Pinkney is a charter member of the League and has represented Ashland Place at industrial conventions held in Bayonne, N. J. and Summit during last year. She was elected unanimously as the League's only official delegate from Brooklyn to the two weeks' Industrial Conference to be held at Camp Novembe 29 to July 1. The constitution of the Brooklyn League of Industrial Women states that its purpose is to study conditions among women in industry, to help create a better understanding of labor conditions and to promote fellowship among workers of various races and nationalities. To further these ideals special study classes have been carried on, a League paper issued, and speakers on labor problems brought to the monthly meetings held at various centers. One of the speakers arousing great interest was Mr. A. Phillip Randolph, editor of the Messenger Magazine, who addressed the last regional conference on "New Relations for Old." The Brooklyn Industrial League is composed of twelve clubs and has a membership of about 150. Thursday evening, May 28, will be Mother and Daughter Night at Ashland Place and the Girl's Work Department will hold its third annual Mother and Daughter Banquet at 6:30 P. M.

Nazarene Congregational Church The Rev. Dr. W. G. Davis, former president of the Congregational Union of Ireland, gave a notable sermon at the morning hour and told of conditions in the "Emerald Isle." At the evening hour Dr. H. H. Director continued his series of sermons on social topics, speaking on The Divine Mill. He depressed the fact that the United States had become the leading nation of the world in the breaking of the marriage bond. As a remedy he suggested that marriage be entered into more carefully, and that the husband be as attentive after as before marriage, and that the wife be as responsive after as before. The pastor attended the State Convention of Congregational Churches at Inmestown, N. Y., last week, and was made chairman of the committee on resolutions. Among the resolutions he presented was one to eliminate the term "colored" in the yearly reports of the convention, which was carried. The Ku Klux Klan was also condemned and friendly relations between the races advocated. War was also deplored. Rev. S. O. B. Johnson of Buffalo was made assistant moderator.

Some "Jim-Crow" Car Legal Histor By KARL F. PHILLIPS (Preston News Service.) During the period from n discrimination, in public opinion absolute rule, which almost are softened, particularly with ret carriers and innkeepers, it be duty of anyone engaged in sup patrons in the order in which and to charge no one more the public servant was not to pick. Speaking generally, all we accommodations and facilities without the exaction from any services. Further than this, he of the public servant, at least point, did not extend. He was a fair rate to any one. Others complain of such favoritism, so reasonable. During the period from 1880 to 1887 the definition of discrimination, in public opinion, changed slightly. From an absolute rule, which almost amounted to distinction, it was softened, particularly with reference to public or common carriers and innkeepers, it being assumed that it was the duty of anyone engaged in such public callings to serve all patrons in the order in which they presented themselves, and to charge no one more than a reasonable rate. Such a public servant was not to pick and choose among patrons. Speaking generally, all were to be treated alike. Equal accommodations and facilities were to be furnished to all, without the exaction from any one of an excessive rate for services. Further than this, however, the common law duty of the public servant, at least from a discriminatory viewpoint, did not extend. He was at liberty to charge less than a fair rate to any one. Others, it was held, could not justly complain of such favoritism, so long as charges to them were reasonable. With increased railway transportation, the managers of railway companies took advantage of this rule of the common law, and made especially low rates for those who gave them their exclusive patronage, as well as for those whom they chose for any reason to favor. Large shippers of commodities soon conspired with the railroads to secure lower rates on their shipments, to the prejudice of the small shipper. As particularly affecting the colored citizen, were the various so-called "Jim-Crow" laws of many of the states, requiring a separation of the races during transportation. It had long since been found to be within the states' rights to enact such laws without fear of Federal interference, and the railroads which operated in "Jim-Crow" states were not slow to curtail their expenses by furnishing the cheapest kind of equipment for the colored passenger. Doubtless it was entirely beyond the view of the Congress that the colored citizen would be affected in any other than a general way when, in February, 1887, it established the Interstate Commerce Commission for the purpose of facilitating commerce by the adoption of regulations to make charges for transportation just and reasonable; to forbid undue and unreasonable preferences or discriminations; and to correct the inequalities of facilities furnished shippers and passengers. The principal inequalities, furnished, that had been brought to the attention of the Federal Government had involved, more than anything else, freight equipment and car shortage; but how vitally the discriminatory clauses of the Interstate Commerce Bill affected the colored citizen, and particularly, the colored passenger, was abruptly brought to the attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1837, when two colored complainants filed charges against different common carriers. The facts in both cases were similar, both complaints being based upon the unequal facilities of cars for white and colored passengers traveling interstate. It was alleged, among other things, that the "Jim-Crow" compartment was full of smoke; that train hands and laborers, with their tools, sat in this compartment; that it was not provided with ice water; that the seats were not upholstered; and there was no carpet on the floor; that white passengers entered this compartment and drank whiskey from the glass used by the colored passengers for water; and that none of these conditions as to which complaint was made existed in the compartments for white passengers. The Commission, after considering these cases at length, said: "Passengers paying the same fare upon the same railroad train, whether white or colored, are entitled to equality of transportation, in respect to the character of the car in which they travel and the ANNOUN Spend Decoration D Spend Decoration Day in the Mountains I beg to announce that, beginning May 30, 1925, in the heartland consisting of 200 acres will be open to the public for your health rest and enjoyment.

Such a and choose among patrons, were to be treated alike. Equal were to be furnished to all one of an excessive rate for however, the common law duty from a discriminatory view at liberty to charge less than it was held, could not justly long as charges to them were "Equality of civil and political rights and the equal protection of the laws, with no discrimination except for misconduct or crime, are subjects not open for discussion. They are fundamental principles of government and jurisprudence. Whoever attempts to deny these principles in their just application puts himself in antagonism to the established law of the land. A rule requiring separation of passengers invites officious interference to force it by middleclass person, who, impelled perhaps by strong prejudice and unmindful of the rights of others, are doubtless law considerate and law-observing in their self-appointed service that the authorised employees of the carrier in the reasonable disposal of their duty. If, therefore, the rule is sought to be justified, it can only be done by showing that adequate protection is afforded to colored passengers, and that the equality in separate cases is not and not delusive. "It is not surprising that it appears to colored persons as to be put in a badly furnished or popularly designed as a 'Im-Gun car, of which only half is at the service, with liability to unnecessary annoyances, and to call the equality of comfort and accommodations. The defendant is responsible for the character of the car and the manner in which it is used. Reputable colored persons, therefore, have reason for complaint under such conditions of transportation as these cases have decided, that they are not furnished to just and equal accommodation in which they pay and to which they are entitled under the law. "It is a lawful duty that a currier, like the defendant, owes the traveling public in carrying its rule of furnishing separate out to white and colored passengers of its line, engaged in internal travel, to make them equal in force, accommodations and equipment without any discrimination LYNCH MAN AND RIDDLE HIS BODY (Preston News Service.)

CEMENT! ay in the Mountains By Ernest Rice McKinney (COLUMN NEWS SERVICE) Harry H. Pace Proves It Can Be Done A FRIEND of mine recently remarked to another friend of mine something to the effect that I was getting into too many fights with "This Week." Therefore, to be agreeable, THIS WEEK we try another tack. The remarkable achievement of Harry H. Pace in raising the $100,000, the required fund to get the Northeastern Life Insurance Company on its way, is a thing for which the best roses should be given. Remember, this is a real insurance company, and not a little "catch-penny" sick and accident concern of a "jerk-water" fraternal association or burial society. Mr. Lace has raised this money and this company on foot right in the wake of the failure of the Standard Life Insurance Company and the blowup of the Brown & Stevens Bank. This is something to think about. Two Negro businesses tell, yet another place immediately out of the rules, so to speak. This demonstrates that we are not a case of QUITTERS and CREPE HANGERS. We've got more sense now than we used to have. There was a time when we said that, if a Negro business failed, there was no need for anyone to try starting another during that generation. Mr. Face has exploded that theory. Some of our publishers claim that, if you tell the world about the failure of a Negro institution, there is danger that a few more will die from fright back of confidence or some other ghost. Mr. Pace has had considerable experience in the insurance business. He knows the business and can make it go. When he has developed a trained sales force that can sell his policies properly, he and his company will be on the way to something that has been needed for a long time in the North. That something is a Nego insurance company strong enough, broad enough, efficient enough and with enough liberal intelligence in its management to compete with the white companies. With the development of the A Northeastern Life Insurance Company there will not be so much cookiness on the part of the white companies in rejecting Negro risks in charging higher premiums and in refusing to put Negro solicitors to work. Perhaps in the days to come, the statistics of those white companies will be bent a little backward to show that Negroes don't have such a high relative death rate, after all. It is very pleasing to us colored Pittsburghers to learn that our most prominent citizen—at least as far as national affairs are concerned—Mr. Robert L. Vann, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company. Due to a high order of legal ability and administrative experience, Mr. Vann will make a valuing counsellor for Mr. Pace. AND so, after ten years' service, Fayette Avery McKenzie has handed his resignation to the trustees of Fisk University. This was to be expected, was inevitable and was the proper thing for Mr. McKenzie to do. Any man who cannot run a modern university without the necessity of calling in the police to stop a disturbance should get out and give some modern intelligent individual a chance. I do not mean that police should not be called if there is actual riot, but do mean that the ones at the head of the institution should have foresight, sympathy, intelligence and understanding enough to any such emergency from abroad. I feel that Mr. McKenzie fell a victim to the wiles of Thomas Jesse Jones and that large group of whites in this country who have decided that the Negro must be educated, but not too rapidly and too well. I fear, also, that he had come under the seductive influences of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, of which trade body he was an active member. Either or both of these influences would have caused Mr. McKenzie to act just as he is reported to have done. That is, unless he possessed a larger dose of fair-mindedness and real democracy than most white men. The Negro youth of this country is rapidly learning that pessivity gets one nowhere. They have had it demonstrated to them that dollars and bullets rule the world. They have experienced the fact that the meek do not inherit the earth, that the wearing of a crown in the future does not compensate for a lack of certain opportunities and advantages offered by this sorrid old world today. It seems that Mr. McKenzie was attempting to run a medieval university in a modern age with modern young men and women in attendance. He and those who think like him must feel that the young Negro today is made of different clay from the young white man or woman who seeks education in the white schools. They either feel this way or they are of the opinion that this young Negro should not have the same sort of training, experience and opportunity that the white youth have. To this group a Negro boy studying sociology or physics is supposed to arrive at a different point from that at which the white boy arrives. A Negro girl digging her way through the intricacies of harmony, tone color and interpretation is not supposed to end up with a desire to play only the works of Beethoven and the other masters. There will be no peace in our colleges presided over by white men until they dedicate themselves to the principle that the Negro youth, who is ambitious enough to go to college, has the same aspirations, the same frailties, the same capacity and the same ideals as has the white youth in college. They must be treated the same, instructed the same and inspired to the same ends. Any white man who cannot do this is a failure before he starts. It will not be long before such a man will be in difficulty with the students or faculty and his resignation will soon be on its way to the trustees. CONCERT GIVEN FOR BLIND AT 'LIGHTHOUSE On Sunday afternoon the New York Association for the Blind gave its first concert to colored people at the Lighthouse, 111 East 189th street.

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE The first three articles of this series recounted the history and distribution of the venereal diseases and pointed out their cost in health and wealth. Having noted the facts, the question arises, what can be done to reduce this economic burden and lessen the strain which these diseases place upon individual, family and social welfare? The measures which are being employed in this effort may for convenience be divided into three parts — educational, legal and medical. This article presents the educational measures, the others being reserved for subsequent articles. The aim of educational measures is to arouse the individual and the community to the seriousness of the problem by emphasizing the following facts: That syphilis and gonorrhea are communicable germ diseases and dangerous to the public health: That persons having required them should place themselves under thorough, reputable and continued treatment; That under such treatment cure is possible; That every person who has been exposed to venereal disease or thinks he has been exposed should seek medical treatment immediately; That the diseases are spread principally through prostitution and filicit sex conduct; That many persons, however, acquire these diseases innocently through the carelessness, indifference, or viciousness of persons already infected, and, for this reason, such indifferent persons should be controlled even to the extent of quarantine, if necessary. That the only certain prevention is for everyone to limit sex relations to those sanctioned by law and morals. The presentation of these facts varies, of course, with the age and particular interest or function of the various groups and institutions participating with the official agencies in this educational effort. Among such groups and institutions may be mentioned civic clubs, women's organizations, societies, the schools and churches, community organizations, the Federal, State and local health departments, in conveying this information to the general public, utilize such facilities as: pamphlets, books, placards, lectures, motion pictures, exhibits and stereopticon slides. Some of the more important educational materials which the United States Public Health Service makes available for use in its cooperative work with the State health departments are: "The Science of Life," a 12-reel motion picture; "Keeping Fit," an exhibit for boys; "Youth and Life," an exhibit for girls; "The Venereal Disease Menace," an exhibit for adults; "Venereal Disease Information," a monthly publication for physicians and health officers; "Social Pathology," a publication for social workers and kindred groups; A series of pamphlets—Set A, for young men; Set B, for officials and the general public; Set C, for boys; Set D, for parents; Set E, for girls and young women; Set F, for educators. These pamphlets, as well as the other materials mentioned, may be obtained from the State boards of health or from the United States Public Health Service, Washington, D. C.

Hampton Alumni Will Meet June 2-3 Endowment Campaign for Hampton and Tuskegee Emphasizes Value of Cooperation of Graduates. By F. D. WHEELOCK. HAMPTON, Va. May 25.—The reunion of the Hampton Institute Alumni Association will be held at Clarke Hall on June 2 and 3. This biennial reunion in many ways will be the most interesting meeting of the association since its organization. Recent developments call for a reorganization of the association upon a broader basis. The co-operation of the Tuskegee and Hampton Alumni Associations in the endowment drive has brought to light many things which make imperative a more comprehensive program and a closer unification of the large number of graduates and former students who have gone out from Hampton. The endowment campaign has also shown that an increasing number of our people are manifesting a vital interest in the maintenance and perpetuation of these two institutions. Time will be given for the thoughtful discussion of the various questions which naturally will arise. This has not been done beforetoo. Hasty and careless action will no longer suffice. There must be a strong organization that will function properly. We clamor for representation and we have a member on the Hampton Board of Trustees, but representation as a method is impossible without organization. Without the combined influence of the Alumnae Association of Hampton Institute, reinforced by its financial contributions, its local chapters, its cohesive and fruitful thinking, the expression of the idea through the Hampton Institute, all of its representation will lack the significance and backing so necessary to make it effective. Efforts will be made to combine all of the factors in our program into a more efficient machine. Full reports of the work of the association will be read by the officers and time allowed for discussion of these reports. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, whose challenging leadership, alert insight and wide outlook are evident, will tell of the new developments of Hampton Institute under his administration. An address from C. Colon Laesther of Rachel, N. C., who is a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Science in the Teacher's College, and has served this year as president of the Hampton Institute Student Council, will give an idea of the institution from the student's viewpoint. Hampton men and women will be given an opportunity to meet the students before the school closes, witness the Commencement Exercises, to hear the wonderful music of the glee club, the choir and the school chorus of over 800 voices, and see one of the student's plays. The reunion program will be fully worth while. The banquet will be held on Wednesday evening, June 1. The renewing of old ties and the forming of new acquaintances will help to keep the Hampton spirit alive in the hearts of its children. Let every graduate plan to come. A hearty welcome awaits every Hampton graduate and former student. There will be a free lecture and social of St. James Presbyterian Church, 58-41 West 19th street Tuesday evening.

May 25.—In order that its Negro personnel may have representation and a voice where their relations in the company are being considered, the Pullman Company has appointed C. C. Cornelius Webb, veteran Pullman porter of Washington, D.C., as special investigator and mediator in the company's bureau of industrial relations. Webb's duties will consist of investigating service conditions and acting as an arbitrator between the company and its 11,000 service man operating Pullman cars all over the country. This is considered by Pullman porters as a long step forward in the promotion of their welfare and safeguarding their wages and working conditions. Mr. Webb, young in years but old in service, is a graduate of Howard University and well qualified to fill his role. His selection from the 11,000 Pullman employees is a fine tribute to his loyal and efficient service, fidelity, and years of exacting experience with the Pullman Company. His offices will be in the general offices of the bureau of industrial relations, Chicago, ill., where he will work in eight Pullman zones, under the immediate direction of Supervisor F. L. Simmons.

April 21—Dr. James E. Grege, principal of Hampton Institute, in his annual report to the board of trustees, paid a warm tribute to the late Albert Howe, Dr. Grege described Mr. Howe in the following words: "General Armstrong's right hand man, the sturdy, always energetic, always cheerful patriarch of the school community, honored and beloved by all. For more than a century, therefore, Mr. Howe has given himself with unweariness- devotion to Hampton Institute." Dr. Gregg announced the resignation of Miss Louise Young, dean of women. Miss Young will leave Hampton Institute on Aug. 1 and will take an important teaching position in Scarcritt College, Nashville, Tenn. Miss Young began her work at Hampton Institute in 1923. The appointment of her successor, Miss Caroline J. Porter, was announced. Miss Porter, he said, "is a native Lenn. Mass., a graduate of Wellesley College, took her master's degree at Teachers' College, Columbia, and has taught in Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland, making her house in Philadelphia from 1804 to 1818. She has also had experience in the secretarial work of the Young Women's Christian Association. PRESENT ANNOUNCEMENT "The enrollment for the present academic year," according to Dr. Gregg, "has risen to the highest point in the history of the Institute, 965. This figure does not include the 333 children of the Whittier Training School, the Saturday and extension classes for teacher or the Summer School."

Business is blooming. The corporation bureau on the Secretary of State's office took in more money last month than during any month in the history of the state, the receipts running to $ 21,000, or $ 30,000 above the biggest previous month, which was December, 1924. Thus far this year the bureau is running $10,000 over the same period a year ago. According to a statement by Florence E. S. Knapp, Secretary of State, the first four months this year show 450 more companies as having incorporated than in the same period last year. And what's more, summer is on its way. This was evident last month when many companies incorporated to run bath houses while Fall styles are already recycling considerately with many additional garment-making concerns incorporating.

Don't Fall to Learn This Truth Through This Wonderful Medium. Mother Zion Church The sermon to the young people was delivered by the Rev. P. A. Price in the lecture room. In the Main Auditorium, the sermon was preached by Dr. J. W. Brown. He used as his subject, "And This Day Shall Be Unto You for a Memorial." Dr. Brown caused his audience to comprehend more clearly than ever before the meaning and purpose of Memorial Day observance. Memorial Day, he declared, afforded an opportunity to memorialize the heroic deeds of the members of our race who distinguished themselves on the battlefields of the Civil, Spanish and World Wars. He pointed out that no crowning success could be or ever has been achieved without the making of a sacrifice. He paid a glowing tribute to the labors of our people in contributing to the progress of the development of the resources of the country and declared that thereby they had earned citizenship. At 4 p. m., the Lyceum Hour, quite a number assembled In the Main Auditorium to hear Rabbi Wise. In his absence, Rabbi Goldstein spoke. At 8 p. m., Dr. Brown preached an annual sermon to Stewardess Board No. 2. Among the invited guests was the Ladies' Aid of Salem Church. Next Sunday, at 4 p. m., commencement exercises of the Teachers' Training Class, under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher Association, will be held. An address to the graduates will be made by Mrs. Helen Wagner. Addresses will also be made by Mrs. Cora Winston on the Big Sister Work in Harlem; and Miss Josephine Wooten will speak on "Our Cripple Schools." On the sick list are: Pauline Wilkins, 45 West 60th street; Georgia Coles, 2 West 129th street; care of Bird; Catherine Bridfield, 223 West 121st street; Lucille Lane, 163 West 143rd street; Mary Lee, 629 Lenox avenue; Gertrude Reed, Harlem Hospital; Charlotte Laner, Roosevelt Hospital, Ward 5; Carrie Alston, Harlem Hospital, Ward 7; Ella Johnson, 244 Seventh avenue.

Rush Memorial Church The Junior Church was opened at 10 A. M. by Rev. G. M. Oliver. The text was selected from Prov. 20:22; subject was "How God Saves." At 11 o'clock all the members and friends of the church assembled in the main auditorium. Dr. Oliver took his text from 2 Corinthians 12:9. Sunday School was opened at the usual hour by Supt. Mr. E. C. Holman. The Christian Endeavor met at 6:30. The evening services convened at 8 P. M. On Wednesday evening at 8 P. M. a May Queen entertainment will be given at the Rush Church under the auspices of the Buds of Promise, directed by Mrs. H. Denby and Mrs. M. E. Bailey of Mount Vermon, N. Y. Salem M. E. Church Rev. Cullen preached three sermons Sunday, the ones in the afternoon and the evening being especially to worshipping fraternal orders. To discuss two distinct types of characters for his mornings subject Rev. Cullen used the Prophet Isaiah's metaphor, "the bruised reed and the smoking flax." He elaborated upon the smoking flax or lamp as typifying the individual whose activities are a detriment to the harmonious progress of society. The bruised reed symbolises those who have sinned and according to all that is just deserve punishment, but Christ because of His infinite mercy allows them another chance. Numbering among one of the largest turnouts of fraternal societies ever seen at the church the Knights of Pythias and the Court of Calanthe assembled 3 o'clock in the afternoon for their annual sermon. Mrs. Bessie R. Johnstone, G. W. C., presided over the preliminary program. The Knights' band was one of the features of this program. Mrs. Edna Haynes very touchingly sang two numbers. The immediate effect of this sermon was such as to move eight members of the order to join the church. The Independent Order of Mocco were the guests in the evening. Thin in a comparatively young organization yet they made a good showing at their third annual sermon.

The subject will be "Getting and Spending My Money." Harlem 2nd S. D. A. "Endless Torture and Eternal Torment" was the theme of Pastor Strachan last Sunday night at the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church. 108-108 W. 127th street. The minister said that from a child till he was twenty-two years of age he believed the doctrine of endless misery for the wicked; but after a careful study of the Bible, he changed his views. Now he believes the wicked will be annihilated by the fires of the judgment. During the course of his sermon Pastor Strachan said further that, "Thousands of modern ministers have rejected the doctrine of endless misery for the wicked. Bishop Foster, in his recent book, says, 'The idea of endless conscious suffering of the wicked in the horror of horrors.' Dr. Frost, a Baptist minister, makes the following strong statement in the Los Angeles Evening Express: 'I abhor, with all my being, the eternal conscious misery of the wicked.' Now brethren, personally, I believe that if the wicked were permitted to fill eternity with yells, curses and blasphemies the universe would protest against it." Calvary Forum's Notes Dr. Louis E. Wright and James Granady were the speakers at the meeting of the Calvary Community Forum last Sunny. The Forum's topic was "Selfishness." The audience engaged in a lively discussion of the topic. Dr. Gullet, the president of the Fountin, was highly praised by all present for his great work in behalf of the medical fraternity in Harlem in arranging a hearing with the Mayor on last Saturday in the interest of having colored doctors appointed on the staff at Harlem Hospital. Miss Simmons, pianist for the Forum, led the community singing. On Sunday, May 31, Attorney Stanley Douglas will be the speaker. Attorney Douglas's subject will be "Deceit." Forum opens at 4 P.M. in the lecture room of M. Calvary Methodist Church, 140th street and Edgecombe avenue. MISS BURROUGHS TO Miss Nannie H.

Council Interests of Both Are Same "The Negro must know that he is wanted within the ranks of the labor movement and efforts must be employed to get him in. The recalcitrant trade organizations must be shown the folly of their untenable position of segregation and discrimination." With this as the keynote of his remarks, T. Anold Hill, director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, addressed the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor in Washington on Thursday last. The newly elected President, William Green, who succeeded Samuel Gompers, and the full membership of the council, consisting of ten heads of internationals, were present. Calling attention to the inseparability of the interests of white and colored workers, Mr. Hill said: "Whatever is fair and profitable for our nation's workers is fair and profitable for Negro workers. What injures one injures the other. If white men must work for a livable wage, then Negroes must have the same livable wage. If white men receive high wages and Negroes do not, then sooner or later no one will. What is true of wages is equally true of all the benefits which labor is now receiving and may heraster acquire." When told by members of the council that the American Federation of Labor had for forty years declared equality within the ranks of the labor movement, Mr. Hill reminded them that organized labor claims that the Negroes broke the steel strike and would break others as they accumulate strength and confidence unless they were made participants within labor's ranks. Continuing, he said: "More than 18 per cent of the colored workers were engaged in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits in 1920, as compared with 12.6 in 1910, and in Chicago alone it is estimated that industrial workers increased from 27,000 in 1910 to 70,000 in 1920." The purpose of Mr. Hill's visit was to ask that the American Federation of Labor jobs with the league in formulating a workable program that would insure confidence in the integrity of the labor leaders and a more democratic stand on the part of labor organizations. This is one of the main objects of the National Urban League's new Department of Industrial Relations which Mr. Hill heads. M. E. Education Board May Merge Schools (Prairie News Service) CHICAGO. Ill., May 25.—The Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church has been in session here during the past week at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. The educational institutes for Negroes received very careful consideration. According to close observers it looks as though the merger of the Board of Education for Negroes into the general Board of Education for which many of the leading Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church stood at the General Conference in Springfield, Mass., will result in the merger of some of the 19 schools in the South, reducing the number to 19 literary and three professional schools. A commission was appointed to make a survey of the entire system and report recommendations to the annual meeting of the board in February, 1926. The commission consists of Bishop W. F. Anderson, president of Boston, Mass.; Dean Thos. F. Holgate, of Northwestern University, Chicago, Ill.; Dr. W. J. King, professor in Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. Arlos R. Brown, president, University of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Bishop Robert E. Jones, president, Department of Educational Institutions for Negroes, New Orleans, La.; Corresponding Secretary W. S. Bovard, Chicago, Ill.; Secretary P. J. Maveetee, Chicago, Ill.; and Secretary I. Garland Penn, Sr., Cincinnati, O. It is reported that many of the Negro leaders who stood for the merger of boards at Springfield are in consternation now that the merger proposition is likely to also mean the merging of some of the institutions in their territory. This they did not expect. The merger, however, will not destroy the identity of any institution, but change the place of location of some of them and make for strength, economy and efficiency.

H. GATESBY. There are perhaps two reasons (as I see it) for that Mr. J. A. Rogers went off into otherwise inexplicable and restructured outlay of the play "Cape Smoke." (Both may be wrong.) Imperials: the English "Empire builders" in the play were represented as rather disgusting weaklings and I have no doubt there are many such weaklings in England's possession); nothing more unconsciously funny than these three (or four, with the white Doctor) Nordic has impinged on my retina and tympanum in a long while—the fault of the author, of course. I can just visualize Mr. Rogers drinking it in: the imperialistic Britons, the arrogant member of a "superior race" being known in their true light, for the despleable objects they are—that sort of paper. (Parenthetically, an Irishman would enjoy "Cape Well, fair enough, I, a Nord, do not take it too amies when a Mediterranean or Jew is held up for ridicule or deception in the stage. At least they don't demand the use of a fundraiser because a stage-nourishedly insulted as they are. No. If the English were as easily and notoriously easily insulted as the, say, Italian, Jew, and some of the brethren, we'd just about have on our hands a war between "Cape Smoke" author, the Government which permits the showing of the play and the English. (The Irish, too, are easily insulted in matters that count no whit, I think. What say you?) Socundo: Mr. Rogers (I am not of the opinion) is not an habitual theatrregestor. New, that is not a defamatory statement; one of our verbatim, H. L. Menken couldn't be got into a Schauspiel-Maus by all the King's honeys and all that ruler's men. And, there what I mean, is a bimbo—Menken! So I do not insult Mr. Rogers. There is, in evaluating a medicine or worse play, a deal in being in pretty hectic attendance in the theatre. The gallery doorkeep at Teller's Shubert (an old-timer) gave "Cape Smoke" two weeks on Broadway. If the apus "earned" a longer run, he didn't think much of Fraudway, or New York. Pful on this play, were his words. ("Pful") because his clientele is preponderantly Jewish piple, and he's picked up some of the lineo. The American Mercury Nathan says "Cape Smoke" is "meindrama with noise substituted for excitement." Letting it down extremely easily. The best and last word on "Cape Smoke" was written by Dorothy Parker in the second number of "The New Yorker." This WHY NOT Earn More Money- Work Shorter Hours- Better Your Condition?

AMERICAN AUTO SCHOOL (An Old, Reliable School) 509 LEXINGTON AVENUE, HEAR 09th St. PLAZA 1700 should be read, cut out and treasured for the games in which it came ammy the ground from under the drums of the "Hope Gimble" type. The lady hates the pretentious and average and is hard-hearted enough to some right out and over so. There are three or four like that, I believe. Perley of the "Herald Tribune" knows what's what, and one feels in saying, but the guy is a softy, afraid to say unkind things of plays departing of unkind aerialism. I know Hay of the "World" had a good word for part of the play, and for Mr. Carbie's advice. Hey muffed it, surely. For why? Well, to me, Mr. Carbie did no more than you and I could have done (and we are not histrionics) in the part. No one could have done more or less, Occidental mumbo-jumbo-lime mumbled (or "m刑ically thundered"), words of purest dog-Latin set fall from the Witch Doctor's lips had dens the business as effectively, had won the same responses from anyone who attended with a desire for entertainment. (Which, by the way, is a bad frame of mind in which to sit in on a play.) Mr. Rogers prints "something near the height of fear-prowling in the drama had been reached." That, with all due apologies for the elegant phrasing of mine, is blah, blah of the ripest ray sarme, of the foist water. There were scores, I honestly believe literally, scores of bits of business in "The Bat" most cleverly avocative of the old gooseBash. I am one who can enter into the spirit of the things forget I'm in a "play-acting house"—as facially "Bomba" (I think it is acted, so they say, by a Boer) in this scene done by bib bib and tucker to go to a native jamboree. This damn monkey. Nothing to tear oilcloth over, of course, but no short sentence that ought, as publicity men in their more tempestuous moments publish to "please" two parts of the theatrregory, the tempest and the nadir, the sophisticated, meditative, gowning, the court or intellectual out alumming and "the man in the street!" The two or three speeches that had in them something of the quintessence of good expedition were speeches of the white Doctor's in Act One. These drops in the bucket were not written more than adequately literally, but somehow they seemed rather good when one relied the banality that had gone and dreaded what was to come. The one short scene and the Doctor's few lines, and that puts "Cape Smoke" out. Now, more colored actors can be used on the "white stage." Sure. But I maintain that a thousand white actors (or colored) could have done as well as Mr. Corbie in this part. (The author was remix, of course.) And one doesn't give a hoot for the fact that Mr. Corbie (says the press agent) has read books about kaffir and "has had recourse to Mr. Sack's knowledge." Incantations in Equimus, Santu, Lettish (if that's a language), had been as effective. Any sort of arm-swinging would have gone as well, too, as Mr. Corbie's. A Boer who is an actor makes a better stage-kaffir (almost invariably) than a kaffir who is not an actor. In a dramatization of a Julian Street novel scene on the main stem a year or so ago, the producer engaged a singer for the part of a singer, and spoiled the play; the "real-life" singer couldnt act for acid persimmons. Ira Aldridge made a better white man (in a play or two, I believe) than many white men who were not actors would have made (and, of course, better than many who WERE actors). In the late colored revival of the Hogwood propertieerat in the Lafayette, the one in which occured the "strip poker" scene—THAT one!—the colored actors to me were better "whites" than the white actors in the cast. I can't recall his name; he WAS white, wasn't he? He had all the—I'd say "hallmarks," but that denotes "superiority"—he seemed "whites," at least. The colored actresses, in especial, seemed better, truer "whites" than this white or lightlier plimented buffo. Mr. Rogers wishes colored youth would set caps for education, knowledge, culture, would acquire it and then acquire some more, guard upon it until the acquisition hurts. The trinity will not be by going to such plays as "Smoke," to plays that are to a number of more civilized plays on Broadway, as the stories in "Western Stories" are to the stories of Cabell, Anderson, Cathar, Hergesheimer, or nominate your own ticket, put in Toomer, Chestnut, if you want to. Now, will it (Or "them"—the above trinity), I think not. I have sized up another reason for Mr. Rogers' liking the judge-show: Colored folk, he says, will not be insulted in attendance on this play. That is eminently fair and on the up-and-up on Mr. Rogers' part, and the fact that some plays insult colors are perhaps a sad commentary on conditions as they obtain currently (and have obtained). But one could almost wish that all cheap plays insult Negroes—than Negroes would not Jim-crow it to be stultified by them. Mr. Rogers knows that the run of the mill-white is not more civilized than the run of the mill-colored. He writes that a thousand or so representatives of white communality laughed as "spontaneously" as he ever heard any theatrical ful laugh. In that is the proof of the contention implied and explicit in "From Superman to Warrior" and in "The Cape Smoky War." The plays in it are the "Cape Smoky War." By the token of their laughs they are not as civilized as more colors than we could shake a stick at, eh? as the next boob, but the "Witch Doctor" did not "get" me in the least. Nothing in or omitted from the setting, you understand, but rather omitted from the author's first draft and completed MS. The star, Rennie, did as well as any three hundred clean out juveniles could have done in the part of the Texan. It just wasn't an adultery conceived part, chillily written. I could go through the play putting my finger on literally (with exceptions in the matter of one scene and part of another) false notes in every line. The exposition was the sweet bit of technical imaginable. Absolutely no inspiration, the most atomic bit, in the dialog, no promise of anything interesting, "thrilling" to come until the entrance of the "Witch Doctor." The entrance is at the very end of the act, as you know. The second act, as to the writing, is as cheap journeyman, as the writing in the adventure stories in the cheaper written magazines. Nothing like as well written as most of the work in "Adventure" or "Short Stories," two somewhat better composed periodicals. Mr. Rogers would not advise his flock to acquire the habit of reading even "Adventure" and "Short Stories," would he? And "Cape Smoke" is NOT as well written as any story one can select in either of the two hereinafter-mentioned publications. The "glamour" of it all—that's what captured Mr. Rogers. Though I understand the "new Negro" is trying to forget "witch doctors," etracera, as the "new Nordic" is trying to dismember his canaballistic amateurs, those people lived vividly with Ethiopians made hay during the grandeur that was Carthage (or was it a bit earlier). Mr. Rogers experienced a fleeting moment (and maybe it lasted until he got uptown, for all I know) of "stavism," "reverted to type" as he became for the nonsedile and mesocholic and wished with all the power of his "wisher" that the vile Britten be "done dirt" in a thoroughly condiing manner (I think that "congeni" is used as the author of "The Prince of Washington Square" would use it—however). Well, I myself, revert to type once in a while. It's all velvet and is not too harmful. At any rate we have the "thriller" to explain. With the old stuff of lights out, fashions of lightning, not so ineffective. Nokum is all right in milletta. But, may not the writing in this second quarter of the Twentieth Century be better? (Are we in the second fourth yet?) And what is "better writing"? I only know there was not a line spoken (with the exception of the two exceptions noted above) that could not be achieved by the varist poolroom louder if he ASANPONED his mind to it). "Cape Smoke" third act contains the terrible story studied in the novel, Well, now, I don't mind that because surely anything could have been more amateurish than the first of the two cantos. No, with gestuctions to Brom, at the O. Henry ending was not as pilling as the rest of the play. Let's have a trick now and then in a melodrama. The "big scene" in the third set, I am sorry to say, was the simulation of machines by Rennie. My God! The upraises fun in this was that Rennie gave the impression he thought he was ACTING here and hadn't been when he "played straight" in the rest of the bounces. This "heavy" work is the material applauded by burlesque audiences every once in a while. You've seen and heard it. A favorite is a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" bit. I have believed morale burlesque audiences applaud this "soding" because it comes as a welcome relief from the maddening bedtime of jazz, jazz and more jazz. Anything is better, almost, than squashing anent "red hot manmance." I may be wrong. However, it is not acting, but is, again, blah, and should receive no flittering response from a semi-civilized spectator and auditor. The one scene not wholly false is the opening one in Act Two. I do not hold that Mr. Rogers is on the same cultured plasse (or bottom) with the whites out front at "Cape Smoke." I merely say what I hinted at first: Mr. Rogers (with Mencken) does not attend the "white theatre" any too often; when he does sit in he is too spanned. He may know the Drayma from Euripides or Lawrences between boards, but I suspect he is up there infrequently in the balcony at the wittier, more imaginative modern ACTED things. In conclusion: If the Negro Alex Regars cannot put together a more nearly perfect play than the hear W. A. Freet, the "outlook is distinctly not encouraging." All together, new! HAMPTON, VA. May 31—Dr. Alain L. Leake, professor of philosophy in Howard University, Washington, D.C., who was at one time a Reed scholar at Oxford University, will deliver the principal address at the Hampton Institute commencement exercises which will be held at 2 o'clock on Friday.

In addition, new industries have been established there and scores of factories, some very large, were built. "Queens today is one of the most important manufacturing centres in the United States, employing 25,000 people in more than 1,600 industrial plants. Located in all sections from Long Island City to Little Neck, College Point to the Rockawaya."

New York Mayoralty Election THIS FALL will see the election of a Mayor of New York City for a term of four years, and promises to be one of the hardest fought political battles in the history of the Greater City. Mayor Hylan, twice elected by large pluralities on the Tammany Hall ticket, is a candidate for re-election, with or without Tammany endorsement. Governor Smith, acknowledged leader of that organization, is supposedly unalterably opposed to his candidacy. So is what Mayor Hylan terms the "interests" and, naturally, so is the Republican party. THE PRINCIPAL campaign issue, generally speaking, seems to be the traction situation, in which all citizens are more or less interested. But apart from this, Negroes have several issues very dear to them as a group and worthy of the consideration of all citizens interested in fair play and an equal opportunity for all persons residing in the city, without regard to race, creed or color. LAST SATURDAY NOON Mayor Hylan welcomed a delegation of Negroes in City Hall, who are anxious to see the discrimination bar lifted so as to permit Negro physicians to become internes in Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, an institution supported entirely by city funds. This delegation has the moral support of nearly every colored citizen in the city, regardless of political affiliation. Harlem Hospital, one of the hospitals in this group, is situated in the very heart of the section in which the largest number of Negroes live. More than half of its patients are Negroes and should, by all means, have Negro physicians on its staff. Except for the Outpatient Department, there are no Negro physicians identified with this hospital. This is an insult to the Negro medical profession and a dis- Wednesday, May 27, 1925 New York Mayor's Election THIS FALL will see the election of a Mayor of New York City for a four years, and promises to be the hardest fought political battle the history of the greater City.

This is an insult Negro medical profession and --- Mediaevalism in Delaware and Georgia Delaware still has the whipping post and they say Georgia is going back to the use of the stocks for punishing humans. Well, we suppose that there must be some hereditary morons in the family of the 45 more or less civilized states, just as idols are sometimes born in a family of intellectuals. Now, if Texas will just pass a law to punish people by burning alive, perhaps the population can become more law-abiding. The level of a state in civilization can be grumped from its personal side. And is spite of the geographical location of Delaware it has always, since the days of American slavery, belonged in a class with Georgia and Texas. Life must be almost a blank in such a state. There is the story of the old man who in 1880 applied for a pension in Washington—for having served in the "Revolutionary War," giving his age as only 60 years. "Well how could you have served in the War of the Revolution?" asked the pension officer, "when, if you are only 60 years of age, that must be crimination contrary to the city charter. NEXT, there is the question of representation on the Municipal or Magistrate's bench. There are about fifty Magistrates, twelve or more Special Sessions Justices and nine Justices of the Children's Court, all appointed by the Mayor. By virtue of their numbers and voting strength, Negroes are entitled to at least two of these appointive judgeships. They have none. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT now has in its ranks scores of Negro officers, many of whose records entitle them to promotion. Policemen entitled to promotion should be promoted to higher ranks in the Police Department no matter what their color. New York will then have one or more police captains, several lieutenants and sergeants. The Police Commissioner is appointed by the Mayor. The same is true of the Street Cleaning and other city departments, which admit colored men to the lower positions but deny them promotion to better-paying positions. THEN there is the Fire Department which, except for one person, is entirely closed to Negroes. The Commissioner of the Fire Department is also appointed by the Mayor. THESE are some of the campaign issues Negroes must not ignore this Fall when the time comes to cast their votes and which if decided in their favor, not by promises but by performances, will undoubtedly elicit the solid support of voters represented by the 250,000-odd Negro population. WHILE New Yorkers are extolling Florida in songs over the radio, this Southern state is deporting itself in a disgraceful, inhuman, uncivilized way, comparable only to Georgia and Texas. Northern daily newspapers have given a considerable amount of publicity to the notorious turpentine camps and recorded the recent conviction of several persons in the Federal Court there on charges of peonage. ANOTHER crime, far more heinous than the turpentine camp atrocities, was perpetrated in Florida last week. A colored man had been tried and acquitted of the charge of breaking in and entering the home of an Orlando citizen, and on his way back to his own home was forcibly taken from the train and lynched. This constitutes a defiance of law dangerous for everyone in the United States. The usual thing is to lynch suspected men before they are tried. Florida goes one better and lynches a man after he has been tried and acquitted. HOW LONG, we ask, will such a state of affairs be tolerated? have been over about 87 years before you were born?" "Oh, no!" said the old man. "I was born all right just 16 years before the Revolutionary War began; that is, just 120 years ago. But the first 60 years of my life do not count, for I never began to live until 60 years after I was born. My first 60 years were spent in Delaware!" WHAT IS DISCRIMINATION? (COLUMBian Press Bureau.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—What is distinction? What is discrimination? What, if anything, is a common quality of both, and why has the law of the land drawn a sharp line of difference between them? Distinction is the separation of something into parts—a difference noted; a mark of superiority or inferiority between persons, localities, or classes; the noting or denoting of the qualities by which objects are known, and from another. Distinction is an under or INJURIOUS difference in treatment or treatment. It follows that that the quality of difference is common to both distinction and discrimination, and that, in the same manner to which all or some things have an appearance. FLORIDA New Yorkers are extolling songs over the radio, this state is deporting itself in a inhuman, uncivilized way, only to Georgia and Texas. Daily newspapers have given able amount of publicity to our turpentine camps and recent conviction of several in the Federal Court there on peonage.

ONG, we ask, will such aairs be tolerated? tive but all restrespective laws are NOT ex post facto, just so. all distinctions pertains of the qualities of distinction, but all distinctions does NOT partake of the qualities of discrimination.

THE economic situation in Harlem requires the active pulling-together of all classes of our population. A duty rests on the shoulders of rich and poor, small and great, educated and uneducated. In this great Negro metropolis nine and one-half out of every ten stores are actually controlled by white people. Negroes patronize them and get nothing in return. During the late World War and directly afterwards quite a number of Negro enterprises were launched. Most of these were of the stock company class. A majority had to do with the operation of real estate. Persons who managed and organized them were motivated by a desire to help the economic conditions in their community. The majority of them were honest. Capital, however, was indicated at that time, and most of these men were not sufficiently trained to realise that an immediate deflation was bound to take place. Negroes, such as Mr. A. I. Hafr. Mr. Tetley, Mr. Boulm and others, were caught this period of deflation. They Negroes, trying to build up deflation for the boys and girls of the community. They did not receive the co-operation so necessary for success. Negroes will support Negro enterprises, but these enterprises must be built on the ancient principle of "Buy in the cheapest market and sell in the nearest." Mr. Arthur King, the economist, told us as early as 1915 that the definition period would play havoc with our enterprises. Of course, this young man was only a Negro, and what did he know about such things? What great business had he erected which would entitle him to an opinion? As a result the dedication period arrived and our castes" went to ground. Most of them blamed the hands of these mining companies for the disaster; but were not to blame. Negroes "marginale" in economics. By that is meant they have 10 demands on each dollar that they earn seven days before the dollar is actually earned. In order for any Negro in business to compete with white stores, the Negro's credit it must be as great; he must buy in as large quantities; his store must be as attractive and clean as the other fellow in business; the other fellow located; he must carry a variety; his "bargains" must be a central attraction. During the "housing crisis" in Harlem in 1920 and 1923 there was not a Negro to be found who, having wealth, was sufficiently interested to erect even one apartment house to help his people's condition. There was certainly no excuse for this omission; for it would have been a paying proposition; materials were available; for we erected three haines and extended Liberty Hall and erected a theatre and Casino. But the trouble was that no one colored man could be found who was well fixed in Harlem and who was at the same time interested in the affairs of others in his group. Many of them fellows to Brooks Brot and spend tunes in clothing when there are good Negro tailors in Harlem, and cheap as well; for the writer, humble though his station in life, has always been able to find a Negro in Harlem cheap enough and good enough at the tailoring trade to make his clothes. The white man knows, and we as Negroes also know, that the white man's face in any transaction between him and the Negro is of the transaction, and a Negro's face the reverses. A drive must be made to get white business in Harlem to employ Negro clerks. A great demonstration parade ought to be organized and marched about the 5th of July, 1925. We ought to invite all churches, lodges, political and civic clubs to take part in this parade. We should send out thousands of circulators to white sturkkeepers requesting that they employ Negro clerks. We are obliged to some returns for the sturkkeepers in the places. The bullets on the part of white compassion, like the Metropolitan Life and other compassions to employ Negro collections and agencies is a red reflection upon the efficiency and intelligence of the community. Negro lawyers complain that the big Norco firms such as real estate operators comply Negro lawyers only by a name for area shooting, but never complain there in real litigation. By Edgar M. Grey involving technical practice and year runs of money. The writer is willing to cooperate in staging a great demonstration in Harlem to try to secure employment in the community of young men and women who are coming out of schools every year, with no opportunity in sight except it be a porter's or elevator job, or cooking for the sons of those people in the community who extract the money from us never to give us the benefit of one red cent in the future. Negroes who accumulate wealth owe a duty to the less fortunate masses of Negroes and should invest their money in such undertakings as will benefit the masses. While I am aware that the true capitalist does not concede any duty on his part to undertake such a program, we have to point out that the Jews, a suffering race like our own, came to America beekears, and through general racial cooperation are now the great commercialists in the Republic. We have a lesson in the act of Mortimer J. Schiff: Some years ago a certain business house in New York City would not employ any Jews, Mr. Schiff heard about this and proceeded, through an agent, to purchase large shares of stock in this company. He went even further, and asked other Jewish men of wealth to do likewise. As a result, they dictated the policies of this company to such a degree that the discrimination coated. The great trouble with us in Harlem is that we hre too individualistic. We who are favored to any degree more than the average Negro must serve to lift the less favored. If this be not done, disunion will result in destruction and slavery. When a Negro opens a place of business, we who have capital in the bank drawing 4 per cent and less should go to his assistance. What right has a Negro to shout Black! Black! during the years that he is accumulating wealth, and then, as soon as he is fixed, turn his back on the crisis for holk of those who are attempting to emulate his success? The time has come for action in order that a greater control of the wealth of the community might be in the hands of those who are to face the moral responsibilities of Book MARY WHIT "Hell's Playground" By Ida Vera Simonton.

But Miss S first hand and her story, pranks this reprint. By Ida Vera Simonton. Published by The Bromano Company. Fifth Avenue and Twenty-seventh Street, New York City. Price. $2.00. By mail. $2.10. THE famous novel." the cover reads, "upon which is based the famous play, 'White Cargo.'" Doubt- less many of my readers have seen this immensely popular drama, now in its third year in New York. Play and book are alike, though differing in the working out of the plot. In both pictures we have white traders, one a man of fine character deteriorating in the tropics, and in both we have the seductive African woman. In the play the hero to the end is moral and sinned against, the African woman becoming a murderer. The book makes a more human hero, at least at the last, and gives a revolting scene, in which he has his mistress nearly flogged to death when he finds that she has been unfaithful. Both book and play flavor strongly of melodrama, but they are exciting and to some extent convincing. One must in reading them forget Conrad's tale, in his volume "Youth" of the white man's deterioration in the tropics. This masterpiece makes other attempts on the same theme clumsy and artificial. But Miss Simonton knows her Africa at first hand and her story, printed originally in 1912, warrants this reprint. One wonders, after finishing it, whether the time is not near when such pictures as she draws will be false. Will the French (for this is a French colony) continue to treat the natives with such cruelty that they deforest their own ends of trade? "When we destroyed the rubber vines in district, and accured it clean for ivory, and robbed the natives of everything else they possess, desert the land and cast the natives aside like squeezed lemons." So an Englishman says to another Englishman; but still hard words are given to the French. "The "concessional" forbids open trade and earn free natives into prison for gathering the products of their own lands. "It's natural for a nation to fight for commercial supremacy, but where that fight narrows into a crushing, paralyzing trade monopoly, it becomes rubber economy, fatal in the end to the robber." Cape Lopez, where "Jellie's Playground" is laid, is a horrible anhanghair, the scene of hatain. It would seem that the ignorant, uneducative this "Black City" of the future. More than one million dollars leave this Black City each week never to return; unem- ployment is life and, worse not for the numbers crime theft, murder and the like— would be greater. Then there is the question of safeguarding our health. A case which occurred in 1921 at a dollsense store on Lenox avenue, will illustrate. The writer was employed as clerk at this place when he discovered that one of the clerks (white) was suffering from a venereal disease. This white clerk was handling meats and foodstuffs. The writer wrote a letter to the department of health; an inspector came; but somehow the boss of the store discovered that the inspector would be sent up and at once switched the tour of duty of this clerk, so that when the inspector arrived was able to return with the result of which clerk was employed in this place. Another letter was sent and the ruse explained; the inspector caught the sick fellow, and the next day he was taken down to the Health Department and examined. The point is, the stockkeeper who does not live in the community feels no responsibility for the health of the residents. A Negro clerk working in one of these places would not have the heart to serve rotten stuff over the counter to men of his own race. Then, too, the immoral practices which go on in the rear of these stores are shocking to any respectable Negro who knows the actual conditions. For months at a time no inspection is made of the sanitation of the food and stores in the community. Last year, out of 93 cases of conviction for short-weight and other violations reported in the Harlem Home News, only two were in this community, and the same dealer in 157th street was the victim in both cases. Does any sane person suppose that the lack of conviction of storekeepers in the community is proof that they are honest? The fact is, inspection in this community is very seldom undertaken. We need organization and cooperation in order to break this bond of this "new slavery." We must, in the words of the Western prospector: "Hang together or hang separately."

Doubters have seen this immensely third year in New York high differing in the working conditions we have white traders deteriorating in the tropics; native African woman. In the moral and sinned against, the murderer. The book makes on the last, and gives a revolt as mistress nearly flogged to has been unfaithful. Both of melodrama, but they are convincing. One must be in tale, in his volume "Youth," on in the tropics. This mass on the same theme clumsy Monton knows her Africa attributed originally in 1912, war self in extreme juvenileness, rules French Africa. White traders "revel in tyranny, illentiousness and brutality; they are a law unto themself; a law of move and destruction; they out-savage the very savage. The picture Miss Simpson draws of the native woman is the most terrible part of her book. Girls are a commercial asset—the chief wants daughters for the purpose of selling them to the highest bidder. Women are used and then cast aside as one might cast off an old dress. To the author the missionary is a mistake, and the English do best when they recognize native custom and superstition. The so-called civilized, Christianised savage is an subdue as a Brahmin and as much to be feared." And yet we all know that the African will not be left to his tribal customs. The Rockefeller institute before him will be a substitute for the law scholar and Western law will supervise native convention. If the Negroes were Sworn in Keeping Fit:- By E. ELLIOTT RAWLING, M.D. The Mecca of "New" Negroes MANY things have happened recently in Harlem which point to continuous progress on the part of the Ne gro. In literature, art and community interests. Negro cultural development has progressed to such a degree that "Survey Graphic," a metropolitan white magazine, devoted a whole issue to Harlem — calling it the "Mecca of the New Negro." Roland Hayes fills Town Hall and Carnegie Hall with a mixed audience of white and colored people, who, while listening to his matchless tones, forget their racial and social prejudices, and in contentment sit side by side. Paul Robeson appears as an actor in the serious drama and is lauded by the critics as an actor of merit. A dinner was given recently to prize winners in a literary contest, at which white critics, whom "everybody" knew, sat side by side and commended young Negro writers whom "nobody" knew. The Northeastern Life Insurance Company recently was licensed to write insurance in the State of New Jersey, largely through the financial backing of broad minded business and professional Negro map of Harlem. Negroes financed the project to the extent of $100,000. This is something new for Negroes. They are using foresight. They know; this medical center can contribute much to their health, happiness and efficiency, and they are willing to pay for it, and thus they become an active At the New York Public Library in Harlem recently was established a department of books on Negro Art, Literature and Culture; both Negroes and white assembled at its dedication. A Harlem Negro recently gave five hundred dollars to Opportunity Magazine for prizes in its next year's literary contest. This, as "Opportunity" states, is the seal of a new hope and confidence on the part of Negroes which the past has lacked dismally. Now comes the drive for subscriptions on the part of Harlem of $7,000,000 to build the new Presbyterian Columbia Center Hospital, Dr. Louis T. Wright, a young Negro surgeon, heads a team of Negro business and professional men to solicit funds for this gigantic medical center. This team has raised over $13,000 as the Negroes' contribution to this institution. might be eliminated in the process, but it is likely that they will increase in numbers. The real battles will come when they turn and attempt using the weapons of the white to rule their land again. "Hell's Playground," with its stupid traders, who drink themselves to death, and its enslaved blacks cannot last much longer.

This is something new for Negroes. They are using foreign sight. They know this medical center can contribute much to their health, happiness and efficiency, and they are willing to pay for it, and thus they become an active and progressive integral part of New York City's population. A delegation of Negro citizens appeared before Mayor Hylan last week and in choice words and convincing arguments asked for Negro physicians in Harlem Hospital. This delegation proved to the Mayor that this was the Negro's right in this district because of his numbers, taxes and political importance. On this particular point of Negro physicians in Harlem Hospital the Negro citizens are determined to "fire" politics with this issue. The Negroes now are extensive property owners in Harlem and contribute much in votes and money to New York City and therators are determined to have hospital benefits and privileges which they are entitled to. Harlem is surely the Mecca for "new" Negroes. MORRIS BROWN TO OBSERVE 40TH ANNIVERSARY (Preston News Service.) ATLANTA, GA.
