SWEET JURY DISAGREES Statesmanship TIS sad but true that the so-called "New Negro" and the lamented but still present "Uncle Tom" have not yet agreed upon certain definite lines of procedure for approaching the problems which beset the race. The variance between the two groups is creating a gap in unit progress which is growing larger instead of smaller. Each has some virtues, which, if knitted together, would make a stronger weapon of attack and defense than any that has as yet been evolved from any of our present-day leadership groups. And while the two groups are celebriatng Armistice Day the other groups of internationals are marching right on. Statesmanship has apparently been lost in the shuffle, and ethics, accuracy and cohesion are bound, muzzled and gagged. Times have changed for both the "New Negro" and "Uncle Tom." Modern political and economic vehicles are now in use. The latter, with his experience and knowledge, could help the former, with his vim and initiative, to achieve the results for which the race is pleading and praying. Honesty with each other could help each to make a "trade" which might thereafter enable both to make a further "trade" with group proponents of the oppressing race. Cannot personalities be laid upon the table for a decade or two, until some definite program has been formed and put into operation? Cannot the truthful doctrine that the whole is greater than any one of its parts be practiced for a few years? Cannot some of the knocks give way to boosts. Cannot the destructionists, with their ceaseless carpeting criticisms, yield to the rule that a critic is always supposed to present a better plan than the one he seeks to tear down? Cannot dignity and brotherly love become the successors of personal aggrandizement and petty jealousy? Times have changed. The other fellow once used to deal with us purely upon the basis of sympathy. Whatever justice he gave us was given because he felt sorry for us. But now he's playing the game, and we've got to play it, too, before he will up and take notice of what we're excited about. Statesmanship is an honorable ethical unusually intelligent virtue, invoked by public-spirited folks who promote art, science and welfare in their deliberations and activities growing out of their relationship to government—which is nothing more nor less than their relationship to and with each other. People have become so thoughtful that "steam rollers" have become antiquities and "to-pans and little favor nowadays." The truth is, we all need each other as never before; and if we are too long finding it out, there is still time to get together and move FORWARD together. "For Rent" Sign Stirs West End Avenue White residents and property owners in the vicinity of the four story dwelling at 830 West End stenee are still discussing the posting on that building of a sign which reads: "Furnished Rooms for Rent for Colored Folks, Inquire Within." There was no response to the ringing of the door bell at the house, but it was learned that the owner of the property is Nat Levine, white, a milliner at 63 West Third-eighth street, who until October 1 lived in the posted dwelling with his family. Levine, it is believed, wants to sell the property and is using the sign as a blind to force his neighbors to buy it. CONCEALED WEAPONS CHARGE AGAINST FOUR Two men were held in $1,000 bail each on a charge of violating the Sullivan Law by Magistrate Andrew Macery in the Washington Heights Court, Monday morning.

The weather was almost was muddy and slippery as Wednesday, but did not seen the players. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30.—Before a crowd of 12,000 enthusiastic spectators the Howard and Lincoln elevens played a scoreless game of football on Shibe's Field Thanksgiving Day. The weather was almost ideal for playing, but the field was muddy and slippery as a result of the steady rain Wednesday, but did not seem to handicap seriously any of the players. Long before the referee blew his whistle for the teams to take their positions on the field students, graduates and friends of both schools began to take their seats. Special trains from New York and Washington brought thousands to the national classic. The teams have met annually since 1892. The women, for the most part, were smartly dressed. The popular color of hats worn was blue. Raccoon and big fur coats were something of a vogue among the student body. The football game appeared to be the minor event of the classic. Spectators seemed to have been more interested in seeing who was in the stadium than the fight between the teams. Heroes, such as there were, who were injured in action, left the field literally unseen and unnoticed. There was not the slightest ovation given the players by their schoolmates as they limped from the muddy gridiron.

Adolph Howell Funeral Church at 2322 Seventh avenue took place Monday. The exterior and interior of the building were draped with large United States flags. Large rubber plants were placed on each side of the entrance. At the celebration Monday afternoon two bronze tablets bearing the likenesses of the father of Mr. and Mrs. Howell were unveiled after which Father Shalton Hale, Bishop of St. Phillip's P. E. Church, and Rev. Charles Martin delivered short addresses. Most of the participants in the afternoon services were ministers. At the evening exercise business and professional men for the most part were the principal speakers. The auditorium was filled. Other ministers who took part in the celebration were: Father E. S. Clifton, who presided at the afternoon service; the Revs. E. E. Farnum, J. E. Sarjeant, Bishop George McGuire, Father Canterbury Corbin, the Revs. Wm. P. Hayes and J. K. Humphrey. Among the speakers at the evening services were R. S. Abbott, of the Chicago "Defender," Fred Moore, George Harris and Dr. Jas. Banks. To briefly describe the chapel, which was designed by Harry Creighton Ingalls, its exterior facade is a fine reproduction in limestone of a thirteenth century English Gothic chapel. Its entrance gates are of hand forged iron, after the manner of early artisans. The two carved figures over the entrance doors were modeled by the noted sculptor Maximillian Keck. The cusped heads of the glass windows were imported from England. --- 30.

The janitor later shot his coworker. Boswell Terrell, 52, the sexton, who lives at 215 West 6th street, accosted the assistant sexton, James Simmons, who lives in the church building, about his clothing. When Terrell could get no satisfaction from Simmons, he quickly began to attack his subordinate. Terrell, losing in the fist fight, got a 22 callibre revolver and shot at Simmons. The bullet entered Simmons's right arm, infecting a flesh wound. A physician was called and the wound was dressed. Terrell was arrested. When Terrell was arrested in the Washington Heights Court Monday morning he was held in $1,500 bail by Magistrate Macryre. Preacher Knocked Down and Kicked Out of Own House Rev. T. W. Larson, pastor of Grace Baptist Church, Mount Veron, appeared before Acting City Judge Coffey Friday to complain against Mrs. Ara Burl, aged 20, of 342 South Sixth avenue, same city, whom he accuses of knocking him down and kicking him out of his own house. The stories of the two as to the cause of the one-sided fight differ, the minister contending that she presented remarks made in his sermon the Sunday before and the woman claiming it grew out of a debt of $115 owed him by her brother.

TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 1.—Ten or twelve workmen were killed early today and a score injured in a storm that swept Tampa and other points along the West Coast. The men were asleep in a bunk house when the structure was inundated and collapsed. REV. JOSEPH CHARLES AGAIN FIGURES IN HEIGHTS COURT CASE That Rev. Joseph Charles. 111 West 131st street, prompted a woman who lives in the same building with him to attack Mrs. Dolly Lavington, 471 Lenox avenue, was sworn to be the truth and corroborated by a witness in the Washington Heights Court Monday morning, when Mrs. Lavington appeared as the defendant on a charge of assault. According to Mrs. Lavington's attorney, the trouble between the defendant and complainant, Caslen Thomas, grew out of the result of the trial of the minister, who was adjudged the father of a child by the fourteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. Lavington. The hearing of the charge was probably the most dramatic that has been heard in the Washington Heights Court in some time. In striking contrast to the sharp-worded battles between the counselors representing the principals there was a witness whose blunt, crude, yet frank testimony caused the persons in the courtroom to break out in violent laughter. As Alex Sidney Rosenthal, attorney for Mrs. Lavington, continually pointed out to the court that the minister had caused the woman to approach her so as to get her to commit some offense and at the same time recalling the preacher's relation with her daughter, Mrs. Lavington sobbed with tears. tore all of her clothes off." The defendant's attorney then asked Richards if he was wearing a hat at the time he saw the alteration and he answered: "I wasn't bare-headed." Miss Thomas said that Mrs. Lavington came up to her and tore all of her clothes off. She produced a torn dress in court which, she says, she had on at the time. Magistrate Andrew Macrery found Mrs. Lavington guilty of disorderly conduct and fined her $15. Starts Divorce During the hearing the complainant's counselor, Attorney Richard L. Cunningham, continually endeavored to suppress all of the testimony that involved the association of the minister with Mrs. Lavington daughter and in most cases the magistrate sustained his objection. Counselor Rosenthal all during the hearing had a current issue of The Amsterdam News spread over the counsel's table and referred to parts of a story that related the minister's conviction on the charge of bastardy. Mrs. Lavington said that she was coming out of an employment agency on Lenox avenue, near 133d street, when she saw Rev. Charles and Miss Thomas standing on the corner. The minister, she said, urged the woman to slap her, because Mrs. Lavington was said to have made false statements when the preacher was tried recently on the charge. Miss Thomas was pamphlet to slake her when she returned the blow, the minister instructed her to yell for the police, Mrs. Lavington declared. James Richardson, an expressman, of 109 West 129th street, who said that he saw Mrs. Lavington attack the complainant, furnished the humor for the court. He spoke in an unconcerned, disinterested manner. His baritone voice changed to a deep bass when he answered "no" to a query. When the complainant's counsel asked him did he see the two women fighting, he said: Judge, your Honor, it wasn't no fight. That woman (pointing to Mrs. Lavington), just jumped on that little lad and beat her up and Rhinelander case will go judge Mills is expected to and Supreme Court Just the talesmen tomorrow —Ten or twelve workmen and a score injured in a and other points along the are asleep in a bunk house inundated and collapsed.

Magistrate Andrew Macery found Mrs. Lavington guilty of disorderly conduct and fined her $15. Starts Divorce Suit After Raid As a result of a raid conducted by the Boulin's National Detective Agency, about 12.45 Thursday night, upon the apartment of Mrs. Della Stanley, of 202 West 130th street, her husband, Mr. George Stanley, has started suit for divorce. Mr. Stanley lives at 110 West 137th street. Mr. Stanley claims that accompanied by the raiding party he found his wife asleep in room with one Joseph E. Tenant. Mr. Stanley has started a separate suit against Mr. Tenant, whom he names as co-respondent. Mrs. Stanley is from St. George County, Va., and her husband from Dublin, Ga. The couple were married on Dec. 20, 1919, in New York City, according to Mr. Stanley, the trouble started in February, 1921, when upon returning to work one day he found that his wife removed all the furniture from his apartment. At the time they owned an eight-room house in Asbury Park, N. J. Mr. Stanley states that his wife then went to live at 260 West 136th street. He also said that in 1922 she took him to the Family Court, with no results. There are no children. Sweetheart Threatened Her, Sha Sava.

Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal, attorney for Mrs. Elaine Douglas 25, a widow, on asking for an adjournment, outlined the circumstances and motive of his client in going to the physician's home on St. Nicholas avenue on Nov. 19. He told how the physician had shown deep affection for the young woman. He then told how he had attempted to jilt her. On his promise to marry her, he said, his client had had intimate relations, with him. When Atty, Grenthal mentioned the woman's delicate condition Cornellus McDougal, attorney for Dr. Perry Cheney, whose office is at 200 W. 135th street, made a vigorous procto to the assertion. He said: "If my client has made a breach of promise, your Honor, this is not a place to hear it. That is a matter for the Supreme Court. If the woman is to become a mother out of wedlock, this is not a place to consider it. That is a matter for the Special Sessions. We are willing to meet you in any of these courts, but we are here to consider the assault charge and what the defendant's counselor has said has nothing to with this case." When Assemblyman Grenthal shot back that it was necessary because it was the underlying motive of the alleged assault, the Magistrate sustained his motion to adjourn the hearing until Friday. Woman Swindled Out of $1,115 "Lemon Pool" Game Played on Her by Man Who Applied for Room, She Says Another housewife was the victim of the operators of the "Lemon Pool" game Wednesday. Mrs. Minkle Falk, 126 West 137th street, was swindled out of $1,116. The woman pointed out James Darrow, 32, 2525 Seventh avenue, as being the man who urged her to pool $1,115 with the $3,000 he said he found. Darrow went to Mrs. Falk's apartment to seek a room. After looking at the room and promising to return, he walked to the main entrance of the building, with Mrs. Falk accompanying him. Just as Darrow stepped out of the door a man passed and dropped a pocketbook. Darrow, Mrs. Falk said, picked it up. He then urged her to pool all she had with the $3,000 and agreed to then divide it equally. The housewife said that Darrow took his share out of the pocketbook, along with hers, and then disappeared. Mrs. Falk then discovered that the alleged money was worthless paper. On informing the police authorities Darrow was arrested and orraigned in the Washington Heights Court Wednesday. He was held in $5,000 for a further hearing by Marquisate Henry Goodman. WAITERS WARNED NOT TO FLOCK TO D. C. About this time of year hundreds of dining car waiters head for Washington, D. C., in an attempt to get on one of the lucrative trains running over the Atlantic Coast line to Florida. Last year hundreds were disappointed and scores stranded because there was not work enough to go around. This should be a warning to dining car waiters this year not to go to the Capital unless a letter is received from Superintendent George V. Hickons of the Dining Car Service of the Atlantic Coast Line to report for duty. The office of the Dining Car Department is at 5th and T streets, N. W., Washington. 16 PAGES Complete in Two Sections 3c. IN GREATER NEW YORK ELSEWHERE 5c DETROIT PHYSICIAN AND TEN OTHER DEFENDANTS TO HAVE RETRIAL IN JAN: Walter White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, returned Saturday morning from Detroit, where he had been throughout the trial of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet and ten other defendants, charged with murder for defending Dr. Sweet's home from a mob on Sept. 9. Mr. White's report of the present status of the Sweet case, which has commanded nation-wide attention, is as follows: Because his parents do not like the girl he has kept company with for two years and to whom he was engaged to marry, William H. Dover, Jr., aged 24, a clerk in the Corporation Counsel's office, has refused to marry her, according to testimony adduced at a hearing of the complaint brought by the young woman, Miss Edna King, a dress inspector, aged 25, of 27 West 140th street, Monday. To further complicate the situation Miss King is pregnant. After the magistrate had heard the complaint of Miss King, he ordered that a complaint of seduction be drawn against Dover. He was then held in $1,000 bail on a further hearing on Monday. When Dover was asked why he refused marry the young woman, he said that he found her to be a very temperamental. After the magistrate pointed out the fine qualities and charming personality he believed she possessed, he rebuked him for breaking down her virtue and then turning her down. Miss King said that she still loved him and that he loved her, but his parents had forbidden him to marry her. She said that Dover wrote to her father and secured his consent to the marriage. She then had intimate relations with him on his promise to marry her, she testified. Informed of her condition, he still held out against her, she said. Crime Not to Provide Heat, Says Magistrate When tenants pay $55 a month rent and then do not receive heat, hot water and janitor service, it is a crime, Magistrate Andrew Macrery declared in the Washington Heights Court, Monday morning. Over ten tenants from buildings in Harlem appeared in Court Monday morning to complain against the condition of their apartment and pleaded for heat and hot water. An officer from the health department was instructed to investigate each building and report to the court.

BOULIN DETECTIVE AGENCY Hartlem 5848 (day) Brad. 0660 (night) After 46 hours of violent argument, which could be heard sometimes by persons outside the jury room, the jury disagreed. It was rumored that five jurors had stood for acquittal and seven for acquittal of eight defendants and conviction of second degree murder for three of the defendants. The jury was dismissed at 1:31 p. m. on Friday, Nov. 27, and shortly thereafter Mr. Darrow filed a motion for a new trial and made a second motion, that all 11 defendants be admitted to ball. New trial has been agreed upon for the first week in January. Eight of the defendants were at once admitted to ball in $5,000 each which was furnished by colored citizens of Detroit, but opposition from the prosecutor in the case of the remaining three led Judge Frank Murphy to set Wednesday, Dec. 2, argument. Mr. White will return to Detroit in time for argument for ball for these three defendants, who will be held until then: Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, Henry Sweet and Leonard Morris. Contrary to published reports in the daily press, Mr. Darrow has not yet asked for separate trials for each of the 11 defendants, but he announced that he probably would do so. The N. A. A. C. P. announced in connection with the news of the disagreement and the motion for a new trial that it would fight the case while there was any court in the land to appeal to putil the 11 colored people were acquitted. Mr. White stated that the expenses of the trial to date had been $20,000, the transcript of testimony alone costing $2,081.60. "One of the most impressive sights I have even seen," declared Mr. White, "was the way in which colored people in Detroit flocked to the trial. At half an hour after midnight on Thanksgiving morning, when the jury was still arguing and sent out for instructions, the courtroom was packed. At 2.10 in the morning, when the jury was sent to bed, ballists had to make way through the crowd for the jury men. All Thanksgiving Day colored people remained waiting and watching, many of them going without Thanksgiving dinner in order to be on hand. "I want to pay a tribute to the magnificent way in which Judge Murphy conducted the trial. He did his utmost to exclude the issue of race prejudice and his final charge to the jury was a masterpiece of scholarly learning and judicial impartiality. "The case has largely changed public sentiment in Detroit. The better class opinion is now with the defendants, although the Elam is, of course, more bitter than ever. But the N. A. A. G. P. will unite with the case and both Messers. Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays will continue to lead the defense until a conclusion has been reached." May Demand Separate Trials (Preston News Service.) DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 30—Separate trial for each of the 11 defendants in the Sweet murder case in Clarence Darrow, chief of counsel, told Judge Frank Murphy, Friday, after the jury had been dismissed in the first trial. TO ARGUE BAIL FOR SWEETS TODAY (Continued from Page 1) furors favored acquittal for all of the defendants, while five fought to the end for the conviction of Dr. Sweet, his brother, Henry Sweet, and Leonard Morse, on a charge of manslaughter. Immediately following the dismissal, Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, moved for a new trial and asked that ball be fixed for the defendants, who except for Mrs. Sweet have been held in jail since their arrest on the night of September 9. The motion was argued at 1:20, with the outcome that the date of the new trial was fixed for the defendant, while bond of $5,000 each with one surety, was allowed in the case of all the defendants except the three whom the five jurors are said to have favored convicting. Ball Sought for Prosecuting Attorney Robert M. Toms, who holds the degree of difference in the status of the defendants, when he urged that bond be denied the three principals. He suggested that ball in the case of the others be fixed at $10,000. Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays, assistant defense counsel, both argued that the sum was excessive, and that ball should be allowed all their clients. Toms stated that he had not had sufficient time to consider the question of ball, and urged that the court grant him three or four days to "think the matter over" as affecting the three principals. Over the protest of Darrow and Hays, who declared they wished to go on feeling that they had done everything possible for their clients, the court said he would hold the three men without ball until next Wednesday, when he would hear arguments concerning their Hays Argues for Sweet. "Of all the defendants," said Hays, "Dr. Sweet should be the first to be admitted to bail. No one could have any doubt that he would be here for trial. I doubt very much if he would accept bail until all the other defendants are out. I will gladly take the responsibility for him being in court. Darrow said: "Boycott think Dr. Sweet. Henry: Sweet of anyone else had any intention of killing anyone. The only possible thing is that they shot through an error of judgment, before there was sufficient justification. All the facts show there was no malice or criminality in the crime. I see no legal reason why bail should not be granted to each of my clients." "This is a difficult question for me to decide," said Toma, "because of my responsibility to the people of both sides. As I review the testimony, I see a difference between the degree of guilt of Dr. Sweet, Henry Sweet, Leonard Morse, and the others. These three group themselves together I want to proceed cautiously and weigh the state should be. There is no legal reason why defendants other than these three I have named should be admitted to hall. As to the others, the question is too serious for me to pass on now." Defense Fund Nears Half-Way --- NEW YORK, Nov. 27.

White Girl's Insult Charge Falls Down PITTLEBURGH, Pa., Nov. 30, Harris Edwards, charged with grasping the arm of a white girl, who was riding in the elevator which Edwards was running in the McCance Building, was discharged by Judge De Wolf in Morals Court last week. When the case came up the experimentist of the building was on hand to put in a good word for Edwards. The man was arrested by a traffic officer on complaint of the girl, who said that Edwards had insulted her. At the hearing the police contended that Edwards had been charged with a similar offense before. This was denied by the superintendent of the building, who said that Edwards had caught a girl by the arm to keep her from getting caught between the elevator and the wall of the building. He said that when this was explained to the young lady she had apologized. At the hearing 52 tenants of the building sent in a testimonial certifying to the good character of Edwards.

Before the game started bands from both schools entertained the vast throng. It has been twelve years since the result of the clash between these annual rivals has been 0 to 9. Two years before that time, however, the teams fought a scoreless game. Although there was no playing on either team that was exceptional, there were several end-runs for 25 and 30 yards that aroused one's interest to a small 'degree.' Howard had been picked to win by the majority of the sport writers, but "Orange" men proved to be their biggest opposition of the season. The Bears were not the players that Wilberforce crushed 25 to 0; the Wilberforce eleven that was later held by the blue and white eleven to a 6 to 0 score.

For the most part during the first quarter of the game the ball stayed in Lincoln's territory. During the remainder of the game there was no question as to which was the most aggressive team. It was Lincoln. Probably Howard could not overcome the powerful and skilled toe of the Bears' Anderson. All during the second quarter there was a kicking duel by Anderson in Howard's territory. Lincoln attempted to kick goal twice. The first attempt was made during the kicking goal and from the stadium it seemed as though it wont over. The referee did not call it. Following a minute's conference with the umpire, the ball was placed on the 20-yard line. The second attempt was made during the last ten minutes of the game, but the skilled toe Anderson failed to place the ball between the two poles. The blue and white elevens that swamped North Carolina State 70 to 0 by using forward passes continuously, the eleven whose mightiest weapon all during the season has been forward passes, could not get away with a successful pass Thursday. Either the pass was intercepted or fumbled by their own men. Ewell, halfback for the blue and whites, made the longest run of any of his comrades or enemies. In the fourth quarter he broke loose for a 30-yard gain. Both teams used similar tactics. End runs were called for almost every other down. Sometimes they were successful, but generally both teams lost a yard on attempting to circle the ends. The most valuable man to Howard's eleven was McLean, who filled quarter and fullback. He had the edge on backfielders on either team when it came to real football. It is all supposition as to what would have happened if the game NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 2, 1925 had lasted five more minutes. It is certain, however, that the Howard eleven of a year ago who trotted from the field with cast-down heads at their defeat of 31 to 0 was not the squad that galloped from the field after holding their rivals to a 0 to 0 score. Spine Fractured in Elevator Fall Lift Drops Five Floors to Basement When Cable Snaps His spine fractured in, two places. Lawson Thompson, elevator operator at 97-101 Reade street-lingers between life and death in Beckman Street Hospital, whither he was taken after the lift he was operating dropped five floors to the basement. Saturday. The elevator was within a few feet of the top floor of the building when without warning the cables snapped, and the car went hurtling downward. The screams of the passengers as the lift plunged towards the basement aroused workers on other floors, and, a few moments after the car had struck the bottom of the shaft, Patroiman Stephen Dunphy of the Beach street station, assisted by the janitor of the building, forced open the door and carried the injured into the gurnace room, where they were treated by Dr. Leventhal of Beekman Street Hospital. The accident threw the crowded building into a panic, and great excitement ensued on the street where a crowd gathered. The crash is being investigated by both the Building and Fire Departments. Several others were hurt. GS Randolph Writes Coolidge TO THE PRESIDENT: I am the general organizer of the "Brotherhood of Sleeping-Car Porters." The object of this organization is to raise the wages of the Pullman porters, the lowest paid of all railroad workers, from $67.50 to a living wage; to better their hours of work and to improve the conditions under which they work, the right of every American citizen, regardless of race or color.

Thus, it is obvious that you have been played upon, with a view approval for a conference the purpose you, by persons who were the paid to You will also note, Mr. President the National Association for the Adv the largest Negro organization in Am conference. It is the only organization on political and civil rights questions, invited is that it had already official of Sleeping Car Porters.

He enment, from misrepresenting a large who are struggling to secure, according the right to life, liberty and the purse. Very sincerely At present a porter who leaves Boston at 6:30 p.m. m. for Chicago gets only three hours' sleep on the trip of twenty-three or more hours, whereas the Pullman car conductor who leaves on the same train gets off at Buffalo, a run of only eleven hours, and gets four hours' sleep during that short run. These long hours for the porters are obviously unreasonable. The other railroad workers have the 240 hours or less monthly wage basis. At present also a porter who leaves New York at 12:30 midnight for Washington, D. C., reports for duty at 7:30 p.m. m. and works until the train leaves the terminal station, that is, making ready his car; but he gets nothing for that work put in on the car, since his time does not begin until the car leaves the station. On the basis of twenty-five cents an hour, the man who runs to Washington on the 12:30 is deprived of $1.25, twelve times a month or $150 a year. This condition, I am sure, you recognize as unfair. The Pullman porters have found out from experience that they cannot depend on the uncertainty of tips; they want a living wage upon which to maintain their families. It is a notorious fact that the Pullman Company is the only big corporation in America which relies on the public to help pay the wages of its employees. This, too, despite the fact that it admits in its own report that the last fiscal year ending July 31, 1925, was the most prosperous in all its history, its income being $83,927,748.54, which is the result of the increased productive efficiency of its workers, though the Pullman porters' wages remain stationary. It is not generally known, but nevertheless true, that porters are compelled to buy polish with their own money for the shoes of the passengers; but are not permitted to request pay for shining their shoes, and if they don't shine them, they are penalized. Now because of the effort of the porters to organize, the company has attempted to intimidate them by threatening to put untrained, inexperienced Fillipinos on the cars, despite the half century faithful record of the porters to the Pullman Company. It has put several Fillipinos, who neither speak understandingly the English language or are familiar with American customs, manners or psychology, on club cars, in violation of its agreement with the porters, which is supposed to recognize the rights of seniority on the club cars. Still Fillipinos, who never worked for the company a day before, are put on the club cars over the request of Negro veteran porters who have been in the service over 30 years. This, of course, is intended to serve as a threat to the men who are simply doing what every other group of railroad workers have already done, namely, they are organizing in an orderly and lawful manner to make lawful and reasonable demands. To oppose the porters in their struggle for a living wage, the Pullman Company has hired Perry W. Howard, Special Assistant to the United States Department of Justice. We wish to protest against this. We think it is unethical and against the best interest of the taxpayers, for a servant of the Government, employed to prosecute railroads, to be a paid employee of a railroad, a possible litigant against the Government. We respectfully urge that you compel him to get out of the Government, or the Pullman Company. We can't believe that you knowingly countenance any such unethical conduct on the part of one of your appointees. He has been charging, as a smoke screen, in order to divert attention from the real issue, that the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters is back by Moscow. This is absolutely untrue. This organization was organized, is controlled and financed by Pullman porters. Its object is not to injure the Pullman Company, but to help it; not to counsel insubordination, but to urge and advocate efficient discipline; not to lessen the efficiency of service to the traveling public, but to increase it. We shall be happy to submit our movement to the investigation to any group of falterminded American citizens whom you might deem; it advisable to appoint in order to dispel baseless charges against the legitimate effort of the Negro porters to do what white workers on the railroad, and off, have done without attracting any undue amount of notice, that is, to form a simple trade union. May I also inform you that the conference of fifty Negroes who recently were in Washington presumably to protest against segregation against the race did not represent the Negroes at all. it was a Pullman Company's conference. It has been uncovered by the Pittsburgh Courier that the transportation, hotel bills and the entertainment of the members of the conference were paid for by the Pullman Company. It got its color of excuse by talking nominally about segregation and also they sought prestige by visiting you. But its true reason for being can be seen in the resolution sent out by the Negro Associated Press on industrial relations, in which the movement to organize the Pullman porters is condemned and the Employee Representation Plan of the Pullman Company is endorsed. Thus, it is obvious that your courtesy and confidence have been played upon, with a view to getting the color of your approval for a conference the purpose of which was concealed from you, by persons who were the paid tools of a private corporation. You will also note, Mr. President, that no representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the largest Negro organization in America, was a member of the conference. It is the only organization that has any knowledge on political and civil rights questions. The reason why it was not invited is that it had already officially endorsed the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The Employee Representation Plan and the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association urged upon the porters are company propositions which cannot serve the interest of the men. Hence, in the interest of justice to 13,000 men and their families, I beg, Honorable President, that you stop Perry W. Howard, a servant of the Government, from misrepresenting a large section of American citizens who are struggling to secure, according to constitutional guarantees, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Very sincerely yours. (Signed) A. PHILIP RANDOLPH. Demise of Kate Whelan, of Danville, Ky., Mourned by Entire City Just a word of introduction: TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 30.—William A. Wachenfeld, counsel for Harrison W. Noel of Montclair, convicted slayer of Raymond Pierce, appeared yesterday before the Court of Pardons at the State Capitol here and pleaded for clemency on the ground that the youth is insane. Noel was sentenced to die in the electric chair at the State Prison here in the week of January 10. In addition to the Pierce murder, Noel kidnapped and killed little Mary Daly, white, of Montclair. Four men were held in $1,000 bail each on a charge of violating the Narcotic Law by Magistrate Andrew Macryr in the Washington Heights Court, Monday, for a further hearing Thursday. The accused gave their names as Halcum Pollard, 14 W. 133rd street; Joseph McNele, 211 W. 134th street; Dewey Cox, 18 E. 132nd street, and Louis Cobb, 118 W. 131st street. Ex-Slave Leaves Estate of $30,000 DANVILLE, Ky., Nov. 30.—The second wealthiest ex-slave in Kentucky died, here Friday and the whole town is in mourning for her. She was Kate Whelan, who all her life had either been a slave or connected as a domestic with many of the town's leading families. All who knew her had the utmost respect and admiration for her. Mrs. Whelan for years lived in an old frame dwelling which adjoins the white First Christian Church in West Main street. There she steadfastly resisted the encroachment of the city's growth and today her house presents a curious contrast to the types of EASIEST CREDITERMS IN CITY A Little Down A Little Weekly Special Values for Thanksgiving Fix up the Living Room as well as the Dining Room on Terms to Suit Your Own Convenience.

By living in a modest manner and practicing utmost frugality, Kate accumulated an estate estimated to be worth $30,000. The late George Welch, former president of the Farmers' National Bank and Trust Company, was her executor, and when Welch died and Jerry Caldwell became head of the bank, he likewise succeeded to the management of Kate Whelan's business affairs. The aged woman was born in slavery and before the Civil War was a part of the estate of the late M. Whelan, a wealthy citizen in ante-bellum days. After she was freed by the war, she and her sister, Belle, worked many years as servants in Danville homes. During the last few years, her sister having long since died, she lived as a recluse. Four Negro Boys to Tour World Four Negro boys will sail for Europe next Summer as members of the Third World Friendship Tour. to be conducted under the auspices of the National Council of the Young Men's Christian Association. It is probable, owing to a desire that the group be made "as representative as possible," that an American Indian will also be included, according to those in charge of the selection of the boys. Forty boys, chosen from forty States, will be accommodated next year, as against twenty from eleven States in 1925. Another new feature is the division of the tourists into two groups of twenty boys each. One group, to be gone ten weeks, will sail from New York in June and will visit eight countries. The other, which will be away five weeks, will attend the World Y. M. C. A. Conference at Helsingfors, Finland, where 2,000 persons from about fifty countries—300 of them boys under twenty-one—will meet to discuss world problems. The choice of personnel for the tours is made through local Y. M. C. As, which suggest the names of boys between the ages of sixteen and nineteen to Y. M. C. A. State conferences. These State conferences, in turn, submit them to the National Council. Private schools are also sending in names for consideration. "The boys must be of high character and have outstanding qualities of leadership" said J. A. Van Dis, general director of the world tours of the Y. M. C. A. "The chief idea of the World Friendship Tours is to bring the best of the youth of all nations in contact with one another before they have reached the age where thoughtless prejudice sets in." The longer of the two tours called the A-1 tour, will start from New York on June 26, returning September 1. Visits to Enland, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Finland and Denmark will be included. From July 31 to August 1 the party will be Pluko HAIR DRESSING AT DEALERS EVERYWHERE PREPARED ONLY BY The Pluko Co. MEMPHIS, TENN.

It is expected that in many of the countries visited prominent officials will greet the American boys. Last Summer the Y. M. C. A. tourists were received by many high officials, including Dr. Michael Halmisch, President of Austria, who presented each boy with a large autographed photograph. In Jail Nine Months; Out for Thanksgiving PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 30 William Lewis, who for nine months was lodged in a barren cell in Moyamensing Prison, had something to be thankful for. His freedom was restored to him by Judge Frank Smith of Common Pleas Court No. 5. He was jailed on a capita, issued after his automobile damaged another out. The law governing the capita procedure provides that a person imprisoned in this manner can petition the court for release hearing. Having no bail and being too poor to hire a lawyer, no petition was filed by Lewis, and he remained in prison until last week, when he told this story to the prison barber, who sympathetically suggested that Lewis write Judge Smith, whom he described as a "regular feller." Lewis did, and Judge Smith asked Michael Saxe, former basketball star of the University of Pennsylvania and now a prominent lawyer, to take the case, without charge. He agreed, presented the necessary petition, a hearing was fixed Wednesday, and Lewis walked out of the court a free man to enjoy Thanksgiving Day. A Page of Interest to Women and the Home --- Roland Hayes Again The fact that Roland Hayes has an overflow audience at his Carnegie Hall recitals seems to be worrying several of the music critics, who appeared anxious to dumpen the ardor of his admirers following his recital Friday evening. Irving Well of the "American" says Hayes has "undoubtedly caught the fancy of the town, but his singing last night was not merely so good as it has been seen in his audiences were small. The voice itself was last year, nor was his manipulation of it as free and adroit. It is not the most plant sort of organ at its best, and in the middle and lower part of its scale last night it frequently grew hard and fell below the pitch." Samuel Chozinoff, writing in the "World," says: "If Roland Hayes were a white man instead of a Negro it is doubtful whether his rectal at Carnegie Hall last night would have been packed to suffocation, with all the standing room sold out and several hundred people on the stage. Mr. Hayes has become a master of the musical sense and has attained, from a police point of view, to the stature of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the few top-notch rectalists." That's it! The box office as viewed by some of the critics was never intended to be sold out by a Negro tenor. Olin Downes of the "Times," though, gave the recital the criticism it merited—praiseworthy criticism. Fisk Singers BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. The Fisk University Singers, one of the most noted groups of singers in the world, gave their second concert in New York last Sunday evening at Steinway Hall. Before a gathering occupied every bit of the auditorium. The singers, distinguished for their soulful interpretation of the Negro spirituals, were in their usual fine form of vocal expression and their singing was marked with a high sense of the knowledge of these songs, which have made their singing so delightful. All the singers which were at Steinway Hall for the first time was "Going Up" and a Negro Christmas song. The Fisk Singers have done much to keep before America the value and beauty of the Negro Folk Songs, and ever since 1874 devoted men and women have been going out from Fisk singing and interpreting the songs of the Negro folk music, and best served the efforts of the first group of singers Jubilee Hall was built, which is dedicated to the preservation of Negro music. At Fisk these songs are revered and held sacred. The present group of singers have recently returned from tours, where they won awards and distinction for further estates. Fisk's parts of the people Europe the haunting beauty of these songs. The singers are headed by Rev. J. A. Meyers, who for 25 years has been a member of the various quartets and quintets that have gone out from Fisk. He has a beautiful tenor voice. He is an artistry on the folk music of the Negro. Other members of the quintet are James A. Meyers, contristor; Horatius O'Bannon, Laude D. Collins and Carl J. Barbour. The singers are now under the management of Walter K. Varney, who has had large experience as a concert director. Hotel Olga Guests Mr. and Mrs. C. Hutchinson, Baltimore, Md.; Mrs. and Mrs. R. Howkins, Wayland, Mess.; Mrs. and Mrs. Wm.

Aldermen Favor Rent Law Extension The Board of Aldermen last week went on record unanimously in favor of extension by the Legislature of the Emergency Road Laws, scheduled to expire next February 15. The action occurred on a formal request introduced by Alderman Edward W. Curley of the Bronx. Alderman Curley said the recent public hearings had proved a housing crisis still exists. The resolution was seconded by Alderman Peter J. McGuffines, who said the present emergency laws should be reframed by the Legislature so more "teeth" would prevent inscription in unoccupied new tenants. He said that, in his section, Greenpoint, Brooklyn, landlords have raised rent from $10 to $25 when new tenants moved in. "The Republican" Aldermen led by Minority Leader John Wirth, all spoke strongly in favor of the Curley resolution. Alderman Wirth, however, said the present rent encourage building "walk-up" apartment houses so badly needed. The next meeting of the Aldermen will be Monday, when action will be taken on the 1926 budget of $437,000. Mrs. J. W. Brown Recuperating in Minn Mrs. Martha Hill Brown, wife of the Rev. J. W.

Son of Zorro," which is announced as the feature attraction coming to the Lincoln Theatre commencing Thursday. The management of the Lincoln Theatre is authority for the statement that in his new screen play Fairbanks has departed, temporarily at least, fro much historic characterizations as "Robin Hood" or the imaginative fantasy of his "Thief of Bagdad," and now has given to his public a picture that outstunts anything he has ever produced; a picture that affords him the widest possible scope for his well-known athletic abilities. New Douglas and Roosevelt Theatres Offer An "Don Q. Son of Zorro." is not at all related, as many have thought, to the Covantes masterpiece, "Don Quikote." The picture was made from the novel "Don Q's Love Story," by K. and Hesketh Prichard, and was adapted for the screen by Jack Cunningham. Don Q is the son of Zorro and the roles of both son and father are portrayed by the versatile star. Chief of the stunts in "Don Q. Son of Zorro," spring from the use by Fairbanks of the bullwhip, a very long, very slender and very sinuous lush, menacing and very terrible in its execution when in the hands of a skilled person. This whip, which had its origin in the early ranch days of Southern California when it was used by cattle drovers, consists of a lash fastened to a short butt-like handle and that tapers in its length of fifty or sixty feet from a thickness of an inch or so to the slenderness of a small cord. With this whip Fairbanks performs feats that are startling in its use as a weapon both of offensive and defensive. With it he wins the plaudits of the Spanish populace; with it he saves the lives of many persons, one his arch enemy, when an enraged bull escapes from the ring and runs amuck in the street; and with it, too, he frustrates the plans of conspiring enemies against his lady-love and himself. As a matter of fact, according to critics, this whip in the hands of Don Q becomes all that the duelling sword was in the hands of the hero in "The Mark of Sorro." Owner of New Lincoln Theatre on European Trip Will Return Within a Month on Former German Ocean Greyhound. Now Known as the Leviathan. The charming, genial and most courteous Mrs. Maria C. Downs, owner of the New Lincoln Theatre, left New York Nov. 21 on the steamship Minnetonka for a vacation in Europe and will be returning in about a month from now on the former German ocean greyhound now known as the Leviathan. Ever since the loss of her husband, a boon companion of more than a quarter of a century, Mrs. Downs has seen the need of a change, but was kept very busy looking after her affairs, and it was not until recently that she was able to wrest herself away from business and make a trip which her many friends feel will do her lots of good. Some years ago the Downs erected one of the most beautiful homes at Long Beach, L. L., which will be reopened upon the return of the owner the latter part of December. During her absence, as on former occasions, the Lincoln Theatre remains under the efficient management of Mr. Raymond Snyder and his associates, Mr. and Mrs. Began.

Big Feature Films at Local Playhouses New Douglas and Roosevelt Theatres Offer Another Unusual Picture Starting Sunday New Douglas and Roosevelt Theatres Offer Another Unusual Picture Starting Sunday Star of "Lights of Old Broadway" Says Many People of That Period Still Live The age of chivalry, and even the Roman and Greek eras, are fairly easy for the technical directors of motion pictures, for the simple reason that the technician is guided entirely by historical records, paintings and manuscripts which have been handed down from those times. If he makes a mistake there are few who can contradict him because all scholars of these periods depend more or less on the same sources for their information. The early seventies, the period in which is laid "Lights of Old Broadway," Marion Davies' initial cosmopolitan production for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, directed by Monta Bell and now coming to the New Douglas and Roosevelt Theatres Dec. 6, 7 and 8. is one of the most difficult for the film technical director. Miss Davies hit on a novel method of overcoming the difficulties which beset the making of this picture by obtaining the services of men and women who resided in New York at that time and who participated in the history-making events of the seventies. "It was particularly difficult to be technically correct in the making of this picture," says Miss Dawes. "From the very fact that we have with us today thousands of survivors of that period—thousands of people who participated in the stirring events which were contained in the story of 'Lights of Old Broadway.' We knew these people would be biblical, critical of the costumes, customs, furniture, architecture and historical data depleted by the film. To overcome these difficulties we secured the services of men who were a part of that age and who take pride in having been a part of it. "With their assistance we have given as correct a history as possible though we found many minor details on which no two could agree just as few eye-witnesses of an event cannot relate its details correctly an hour after its occurrence. Among those who have been of great help is Joseph Hazelton, veteran actor and eye-witness of the murder of President Lincoln. Billie De Vaull, old-time actor, is another, and Frank Currier, who plays a stirring role in the film, was of great assistance." "The Lights of Old Broadway" is Carey Wilson's screen version of Laurence Eyre's stage success. "The Merry Wives of Gotham," Conrad Nagel is the hero. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 2, 1925 "Mootchin' Along," by Jesse Shipp, Underlined for Early Showing Production Will Be at the Lafayette Theatre in the Near Future Mootchin' Along was a phrase used by an old steamboat fman who ran on the Cons-Miller, an old fashioned stern wheeler that made monthly trips between Cincinnati O., Memphis, Tenn. When greeted by his friends with, "Hello, how's things with you, Webb?" the fireman in question invariably answered, "Mootchin' along," meaning to us that knew him, he was making progress under difficulties. When asked for the meaning of this peculiar phrase Webb would chuckle and say, "That's [Tennessee Indian language]. Then followed Webb's story of the origin of Mootchin' Along. When Memphis was a country town of about five hundred people there was an old Indian, one of the few who had taken up the white man's way of farming, and while he got fairly good results he found it difficult to take on new methods and drop old habits. He knew that the word "much" meant "great in quantity" because the white man when he brought his corn to market in order to encourage him would make comparisons with smaller amounts by pointing first to the smaller amount and then to the Indian's crop and say "Heap-Much" but the Indian's English was bad, he was never able to say "much"; it was always "much". Pointing to his own crops he said, "Heap work but bring mouch along, but more next time." The First Baptist Church Chair of a farming district in Tennessee near the Mississippi River started out to build a badly needed educational institution. (If a country school house can be dignified by such a name.) A trip to Memphis during Mardi Gras, a country circus and the leading citizen of the community are big factors in the progress, under difficulties of this worth while enterprise. As Webb would say, they got there by "Mountain Along." Robeson and Chenault in "Body and Soul" Among the many features being offered by Manager Ecken at the Franklin Theatre will be Oscar Mischeaux's latest release entitled "Body and Soul" with Paul Robeson and Lawrence Chenault Robeson's recent success in Europe has added to his popularity as a screen artist.

You will find the answer in this picture and you will also find "The Trouble With Wives" very human, very lavish and very funny. "The Lost World," that wonderful wonder picture from the stupendous story by Sir Conan Doyle, will be the attraction Saturday, Sunday and Monday, December 5. 6. and 7. The prehistoric dinosaurs which are brought to life in this picture are amazing. It is the first picture in history where creatures of 10,000,000 years ago are with reality reincarnated in the movies. The cast is one of the largest and the production one of the most immense ever shown on the screen. The picture is a trip to wonderland, to the lost world, now found, and is one of the outstanding films that, every man, woman and child should see, Bessie Love, Wallace Beeley, Lewis Stone and Lloyd Hughes are starred in this picture. Beginning Sunday, Dec. 15, the management has arranged to have Prof. E. Gilbert Anderson, leader of the Renaissance Orchestra, and a symphony orchestra of 30 pieces give a concert at the theatre from 1 to 2 P. M. Barnacles and Moss Clinging to Hull of the Ship Interfered With the Thanksgiving Sail Neither discouraged nor dismayed because of the calm into which the famous Moonlight Ship found herself on Thanksgiving night, the bold and salt-sprayed skipper will put the bont into commission for New Year's night with an aggregation of musicians to be headed by Allie Ross, which promises to eclipse all previous efforts of the captain and his men in steaming the tide of the entrance to the harbor. Although in dryock for a little while, the ship did not remain there long enough to get rid of the barnacles and moss which clung to her hull and interfered with her progress on last Thursday night. For the first sail of the new year she will be thoroughly overhaulied and the man not doing his duty on that occasion will be keel-hauled and most likely be forced to "walk the beam." With Ross and his musicians furnishing the music. Captain Wilson-feels-that everything will be made up for. A special program will be printed in the form of a soouvenir and with the other features to be announced later, the ship will be in gala regalia when she heads for the Narrows. LOOK OUT!

KNIGHTS OF PENHURS Thanksgiving Defeat of Renaissance Overcome by Brilliant Victory Sunday Sunday Night Gathering Witnesses One of Season's Best Games When Famous Boston Quint Went Down to Defeat—Kingston Five to Play Here Sunday Night To come back and win a game after losing to the Madison Square Whirlwinds on Thanksgiving night, as they did last Sunday night, when they met and defeated the Boston Whirlwinds, only shows and proves the potential powers of the Renaissance Big Five. Up at Manhattan Casino last Thursday night the Douglas men went out and in a hard game managed to keep a little to the fore against a hard-plugging and never-say-die combination. Then the local players got that feeling of cocksuredness, which has spelt disaster to so many teams in the past, and before they knew what was happening they woke up to find defeat staring them in the face. rwo When the spurt was made to head off the white players it was too late, as the visitors were scoring steadily from the foul line and making every single goal count. was a total game while it lasted and while the colored players lost, we believe that every person in that large crowd would rather see them losing such a hard-fought contest than enjoying an easy win. At the same time it was disappointing to the large following of the team, for they had made an enormous contribution for them. While the referee saw almost everything and penalized both teams equally, still we believe if he had kept his eyes on Georgie Hall's man he would have seen this boy actually clinging to the 'Phantom, hauling, pulling and jumping' the hand of interference outside of the rules. And he it said to the credit of Flall that he kept his head under these adverse circumstances. Shifting their activities to the Renaissance Casino on Sunday night, every one seated had same in mind. In motion felt that this same after all is said and done, was the best one of the season in which the Douglas men have engaged. The Bostonians are made up of league players, and the remarkable display of basketball as put forth by the prominent men in the prominence which they enjoy. That same potential power of which we spoke in our opening paragraph was called upon by the local players, and but for the seasoning which they have had during the present season they have gone down in defeat before the steady advance of the bond enters. At half time our boys led by a score of 21-14, but it was not the kind of lead which gave their supporters the idea they had things all seized up for the evening. Like a well grounded machine, Boston against the Germans was the threatening as the advance of the Germans in the early days of the war. But the colored ladies held firm and by a display of the kind of basketball that will continue to keep them before the public made the final spurt that gave them victory by a score of 10 to 47. This coming Sunday night we going against another one of the toughest combinations in basketball in the United States when they meet the famous Kingston Five. This team weed no introduction to basketball fans as their performances against the champion Celtic team are of such we have every reason to believe they are on another hard test. To again wrest victory from such a team as they will meet on Sunday night will allow hopes for a victory over the Celtic. Y. M. D. Bows to Alumni Last Saturday evening, at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, the recently organized Y. M. D. Alumni basketball team defeated the Y. M. D. team, unquestionably the best aggregation of amateur players around New York, to the tune of 28-25. The game was thrilling and exciting from the beginning until the timer's whistle declared the end, and the score seenawed back and forth so much that it was anybody's game until the final whistle blew. The Y. M. D. was composed of Monroe, Gregory, Hands, Miller, Lloyd and Capt. Dick Scoy. The Alumni quintet comprised Roddy Dyer, Harris and Eyre Satch, forwards; Joe Steber, center; George Jackson, Henry Parker, Jr., and Dick Harvey, guards. This invincible combination will be used in the court noon again, to propel us to an amateur basketball back in the limelight with all of the prestigs that it lost with the advent of the professionals. FLASHES UPSET "ST. SEE" 31-27 The Philadelphia Flashes Big Five are in an extremely competitive basketball game of the season by defeating the St. Christopher Club of New York in Philadelphia that Wednesday night by the score 64-27. The game was very HOWARD-LINCOLN CLASSIC A TIE Kingstons to Meet Renaissance Sunday Night Celtics and Renaissance to Meet in New Jersey As we were about to go to press Manager "Bob" Doguas of the Renaissance Big Five advised us that his fast going combination will make their first appearance against the world champions, the Celtics, in the history of the coming Saturday night. This is as it should be and all this part of New York will wish the colored players luck in tackling the country's leading basketball team. The Renaissance people have dealt fair with the large number of fans they have the team with they have lived up to every promise made. The fact that the men behind the Renaissance are bringing the far famed Kingston Five to the Renaissance Casino at the same price of admission as charged for teams of lesser caliber they feel for the support given them and shows the attempt to prove that same appreciation. Vandals Defeat Alpha Club ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Dec. 1. At Waltz Dream Hall, Thanksgiving night, the Vandals defeated the Alpha Club, of Washington, 31-29, in a five-minute overtime period.

Trailing 25-19 minutes to go, Alby replaced Ringgold and Dwyer went in for Brown, the Vandals sprinted, tying the score 25-27 as the final whistle blew. Lee and Howard scored in the overtime period, while Carpenter scored two points for Alpha. A crowd of 600 witnessed the game.

League Meeting Postponed PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29. Due to the fact that the proposed dates of Dec. 9, 10 and 11 were not convenient for some of the Western club owners to attend a joint session at Philadelphia, the annual intersections confab of the baseball solm will be deferred to Jan. 6, 7 and 8. Each league will hold its annual meeting separately on the 6th and the joint session will consume the remaining two days. A banquet will be tendered the day before the night of Jan. 7.

A. basketball team started off the season in winning form by defeating the Indian A. C. of New York. Final score, 42 to 18. The Carlton boys had the game out from the very start, by demanding hands of the ball and fast team work. Preal, Daniels, A Fisk University balltower and, incidently, a new man to the squad, came out on top in scoring, having to his credit two field goals and one four. Lineup: Carlton, Indian. Stevens, r.f. Indiana. Edwardh, l.f. Indiana. Daniels, c. Thomas. R. Niles, r.g. Holmes. Darley, r.g. Preston NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS; WEDNESDAY, DEC. 2, 1925 The Sportive Spotlight Looking at Tom Faby administering to the needs of the majority of the colored fighters at the Commonwealth Sport Club as a second brings to mind the fact that Faby is the manager of the "Golden Boy," Jack DeMave. That Tom is wise to the ways of the game was shown by the haste with which he removed DeMave from activity at the Commonwealth and got him work at the other clubs which brought DeMave into prominence. You see, had Tom allowed Jack to continue to carry on at the Commonwealth, sooner or later the "Golden Boy" would have run into disaster at the hands of some colored fighter. And now that Jack McVey has earned his right to a little more consideration at the hands of matchmakers, will Eddie McMahon give him a chance to keep fighting? McVey is one of the most unfortunate colored fighters in game history, but he waited for a game before being given another shot. He made George Levine break ground and mount a bicycle from which the white boy refused to descend until the bell in the final round carried the tidings to him that it was safe and he could stop backing up. McVey is worthy of the consideration of even Jess McMahon for a shot in the Garden. Jack has made good and boasts a record that can hold its own with the best of them. He is a classy and most satisfactory performer, and any club. Considering that McVey has been winning right along at the Commonwealth, he automatically becomes a drawing card, for a winner will always draw big. When Panama Joe Gans held the spotlight he was given a chance to show his wares often, and now that "Harlen Jack" has moved up to the particular spot in the calcium we feel it is in, he will be the one to ask the matchmaker at the Commonwealth for a chance for McVey. To have a game sowed and then drop it because of over-confidence is something that will give the Renaissance Five cause for worry for many a day to the point where it is the Thanksgiving Night the local team lost to the Madison Square Whirlwinds after leading the white players way up into the second half. With a determination which few present could sense until they started their drive, the white players heroically stuck to their own goal. The team returned winners of a game that gave the fans more thrills than even the classic" played in Philadelphia the same afternoon. We believe it was a much larger crowd than last. Thanksgiving that turned out to this game last Thursday night. If we here can only maneuver the fans into a position where they can be induced to come out in such large numbers to witness a game between Pittsburgh and New York for the world's colored championship, basketball would be well on the way to the old popularity. Young and Posey are slated to hang up their togs at the end of the present season, and it would be most fitting for New York to see them in action for the last time. To make certain of a large turnout, we would advise a holiday night, as it is pretty risky in these days to bank on a large turnout of colored fans on nights other than holidays. We feel that it is a duty we owe our boys in the game to give them a big hand and a big reception when the time has arrived for them to leave the scene of activities which gave so much pleasure to thousands in the good old days of big-time basketball. When the famous Howard University team had graduated and scattered to various parts of the country, we personally gathered them together for one last, big game here in Gotham, and this without the aid of anyone. We hired the Manhattan Casino, hired the music and bought six silver-loving cups for individual members of the team and paid the way of each member from the town where he had settled down. What team has done more to keep up the interest than the famous Pittsburghers? For years Posey has been the best "copy" we have had in basketball, and that season without us slamming Cumberland left and right in the newspapers I considered one of our poorest, less of the Pittsburghers "Courier," the Pittsburgh "American," the New York "News" and The Amsterdam News, we still cherished something deep down within us for Cumberland. And, strange as it will sound, we always felt that we were the only one with any claim to the hambusting of Posey, and the inclement rain had its teeth in our mouths with Posey. At a time when we were giving Posey Jail Columbia here in New York we found ourselves representing the Pittsburgh bunch in New Jersey and HOLDING POSEY'S SWEATER THE NIGHT OF THE GAME AND ROOTING HARD FOR HIM TO WIN. We believe that Brooklyn has chosen a great big mouthful in daring to meet the fast-going Philadelphia Panthers so early in the season. These teams will meet at Labor Lysium on the night of December 5th, and followers of the Superior Club had better turn out in large numbers, as the home team will meet at Brooklyn. We have been playing a great game ever since they started, and this year there are signs of these players of the "City of Churches" questioning the claim of the Renaissance to world leadership. We think we had better get together with "Bob" Douglas and the founders of the Pittsburghers is possible for each one to play three games in our territory if the Pittsburghers should arrange come here to meet the Renaissance. What about you folks in New Jersey? Select your best team and will try to arrange for a game at the Orange Armory. Lodge to play Renaissance one night in New York, the next in Brooklyn and a day or two later will round out a nice series for the Pennsylvania, who with betts, Posey, Young, Young, Young wont work from J. Mercey Burrell, Royal Chancellor; Fujita Kultz, Carr of Newark; Messrs. Barker, et al., to know if the Royal Charlot cannot once more make the trip to the towns over which J. Richard Lee entertained hopes of ruling at one time. What about you, Dr. Smythe? Can you not revive the Titans for one big night? How now Normal? Must we give old age to enter without more yell and a whop on the old stamping grounds? Gee, and that upup of Jersey bellos! Come on, follows. The New York "Sum" of last Saturday made a suggestion among unofficial decisions at fight clubs that we must rise to pronounce "all wet." "The dissatisfaction," says the "Sum," over many missing new wives, would be determined by the best colored dinges of determining the winner. The latest proposal is that the fans be allowed to vote the same as the officials. Of course, the customers' vote would not be official, but merely would serve to show how regard the judges' verdict. There's nothing to诘, so for as colored people are concerned, The average white fan is such an unfair individual a colored fighter would have as much chance of getting the verdict under this system, though unofficial, as we would have trying to brave the terrors of the North Sea in a canoe. In the old days fans used to adorn such good fighters are Joe Gans and Waleoff for their exhibitions, but in this day may not be the case. At the Commonwealth Sport Club when the colored fighter is master of the situation in the star event you can see them snuggling out long before the end of the fight. Speaking of this phase of things fictive also brings to mind the obsession among white followers of boxing that the average colored fighter cannot "take it" in the body. Despite the wonderful manner in which such a fighter can be flushed, these white fans are always hurling advice to the fighters of their own color to "rock 'em in the guts", etc. Too bad the white brother with his blatant claims to Nordic superiority cannot be fair enough to let a light be judged on its merit. No matter by what distance the colorist is, he can find a bunch of disgruntled white fans taking exception to the decision. And the majority of the writers on the daily papers are of the same turn of mind. Take the fight between Joe and Mike. He was filmed in a battle as one can hope to see in any ring anywhere in the world, but because McVay came out victor the O'Fay writers soft-pedaled on it. Of course there are times when these fellows on the big papers will come through, but we are willing to wager it is because of their close connection with the fighters lucky enough to get an even break because of the close association.

W. 234 W. 131st. Street, New York City Panther - Superior Clash Holds Out Promise of a Brilliant Game Next Week. Local Orchestra Will Appear at Labor Lyceum to Add to the Pleasures of the Evening Dropped in on the Superior "Lightning Five" during their practice last Tuesday evening in preparation for their championship tilt with the Philadelphia Panthers at Brooklyn Labor Lyceum Dec. 0. We were very greatly impressed. It has always been our opinion that if the Borough Boys really took their training sessions more seriously they could not be stopped. They had assumed a somewhat carefree attitude towards their opponents and, although very successful in maintaining a long string of victories, it is not inconceivable to imagine even more impressive victories. However, the determination to win over the Champion Panthers has furnished the incentive for real hard work, and, while their team has been snappy, the real feature has been the precision and precision. They realize the true import of this game, for if they defeat the Philadelphiaians the demand for them as an attraction will know no bounds. Accepted as one of the greatest teams in the game, once they have the lead it is only a matter of time before they register. Quoting one of the fans, "Give them the ball and the lights, are out." Hence it is to their defensive work that we must look for the decision one way or another, because you can't score, ladd. With a strong defense Brooklyn should win. The game is bound to be close and one of the greatest exhibitions of speed ever seen, for the Quaker team can step. Any team that stops (um Poseys' Loenlid team) can win. The gentleman Vulvula by 34 to 12 is just too bad. Therefore, we are led to expect a fast, hard game, with neither team boasting much of an advantage at any time. Standing room space will probably be at a premium when the crowd is greener than the Brooklyn vs. Yonkers gathering should pass the turnstile. Vernon Andrade and his Renissance Dance Orchestra have been engaged. This is the Renissance musicians' initial engagement in Brooklyn and the singings on Sunday at the dedication Saturday and Sunday night patrons, at the popular Renissance Casino should win the hearts of the most discriminating Brooklynite.

In the first two periods of the game, the "Aggies" captain, Red Hall, tried repeatedly to break through the Tigers' defense, but at each attempt. The sensation of poor interference on the part of his team-mates caused him to fall the game, however, was his phenomenal open-field running in returning the kick-off. In the second period the "Aggies" opened with an aerial attack, successfully completed two passes, and only two short gains. The Tigers took the ball and worked gradually down the field. Findley consistently getting away through tackle for 10 and 15 yards gains. The game was one of the most brilliantly played of the season. The Alabama aggregation fought every inch of the way, although the "break" appeared to be against them. And in special occasions when extraordinary team work was needed the "Aggies" fell short. WILBERFORCE IS NOSED OUT, 7-3 (Preston News Service.) COLUMBUS, O. Nov. 30.—After fighting three periods to a scoreless tie.

Color Line Drawn; Dancers Disappointed BOSTON, Mass. Nov. 30—The color line was drawn at the Lynnhurst ballroom here last week and the hundreds of white Charleston fanciers and lovers of the modern dance who journeyed to the spaceous dance hall to trip the light in the room, and the famous Robin Hood orchestra. Worcester were disappointed, for the Robin Hood boys did not play. The dance started all right, but Manager Joseph A. Tobo is now accused of having suggested that it would be better if a colored man in the orchestra did not play. The Robin Hood Serenaders could not be located this morning, but Mr. Lattons speaking in place of him stated it was a grave injustice. "One of our regular men was sick." Mr. Lattons stated, "and we took along the colored man as a substitute. Mr. Tebo suggested from the team and we stood by him and said if he did not play none of the others, and we did not." According to the information given out at the dance hall, Manager Tebo was called to the telephone by Joseph A. Lyons, owen who was the manager of the club; it would be better if the colored man did not play. Mr. Tebo said he told the other members of the Robin Hood Serenaders and they all agreed not to play without their colored member. Mr. Lyons could not be located today.

By LOUIS GARCIA PHILADELPHIA, Nov. which swept Shibe Park her down from a cloudless sky annual classic between the f Lincoln Universities. Between spectators are assembled we noticed that Philadelphia mad. The gladiators representations of color went out and horns they remained, as the them in a oo tie. From all same the hordes to lend enco of the schools. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 26.—In spite of a strong wind which swept Shibe Park here today, a warm sun shining down from a cloudless sky made conditions ideal for the annual classic between the football teams of Howard and Lincoln Universities. Between fifteen and twenty thousand spectators are assembled here, and earlier in the day we noticed that Philadelphia had virtually gone football mad. The gladiators representing these two leading institutions of color went out and locked horns, and at locked horns they remained, as the end of the annual battle found them in a 0-0 tie. From all over the broad united land came the hordes to lend encouragement to one or the other of the schools. Colors indicative of both colleges could be seen everywhere. It was a day when the white and blue of Howard and the orange and blue of Lincoln, flaunting unrestrained beauty, were furled. In every nook and corner of the city of William Penn, made famous by its motto of "Brotherly Love," and fair land of the Quakers, can be seen those wearing the various colors, and all bent on sitting in at the den, and maybe walking up the honors that to victors upon the heads of their favorites. Although not decorated by hunting lazily waving to and fro in the breeze, Broad street presents an animated scene as our people pour into the city to take charge, at least for one day, and also to enjoy the hospitality for which Philadelphia is famous. Pennants galore, intermingled with the fine feathers of beautiful woman of color, appear to move in a steady stream as the trains belch forth their human flight. As we look down on the battling armies near the end of play we found the conclusion that the playing of the teams did not credit to their school, but under the conditions through which they labored we also note that every ounce of energy was added to the brawn fighting for alma mater and glory. Mud—plain, ordinary field mud—mixed with a heavy undergrowth of grass, made it difficult for the boys to get started in many plays. More than once players on both teams slipped in an attempt to secure the coveted pigskin, but failure met efforts that would, perhaps, otherwise have meant a touchdown or an advancement toward a goal. The major stars of the game were Smith, Dodson and McLean for Howard, with Lancaster, Anderson and Hibbler for the Chester County school. The outstanding feature of the contest was the able manner in which Smith carried the ball and gave Lincoln's tacklers, and incidentally their rooters, plenty to worry about. R. Brown ran back Dodson's kickoff, but did not gain. Taylor kicked to Howard's 30-yard line. Dodson returned the punt to Howard's 55-yard line. Howard punted on the first play to the 50-yard line. Anderson went around the right end for 20 yards. Taylor ripped through for 3 yards. Lincoln's center passed high over the backfield for 30 yards and Howard recovered the ball. Taylor punted.

Among this group are many mothers, some widowed, some deserter, some with sick or insane husbands, who must go out of their homes to work for others by the day in order to earn a living for themselves and their children. The Columbus Hill Day Nursery, located at 224 West 63rd street, aims to help these mothers by providing care for their children during the work hours of the day. The board of directors is composed of both colored and white women. Mrs. Ira S. Wiles is the president; Mrs. Henry Villard, the daughter of William Lloyd Garrison, the great librator and friend of the oppressed, is the vice-president; Mrs. L. A. Alexander, secretary, and Miss Helena T. Emerson, treasurer. Mrs. Wm. H. Worthham, chairman of the West 137th street Branch Y. W. C. A., and also one of the board of managers of Hope Day Nursery, is a member of the board of directors of Columbus Hill Day Nursery. The nursery is housed in a school of the Children's Aid Society and there is room for 45 children. A registered nurse is in charge. The nursery is always open to visitors. A nominal fee is charged for every child who is cared for at the nursery, but in addition to this income the needs $2000 for its maintenance and growth. This amount must be raised entirely by voluntary subscriptions and contributions. The board of directors at this time is forced to make a special appeal for aid to all who are interested in the children of the race. At present we are practically out of funds and the nursery is at the point of having to close its doors and cease its existence altogether unless funds are forthcoming immediately to meet its pressing needs. We urgently request all who read this to make it a personal matter and come to our assistance, no matter how small the contribution may be. Through the kindness and courtesy of Mrs. Edward A. Warren, publisher of The Amsterdam News, we have been allowed to make this appeal to the public through her paper. All contributions can be left or sent to The Amsterdam News Publishing Company, 2293 Seventh avenue. Checks may be made payable to Columbus Hill Day Nursery and mailed to the same address.

A Letter to the Editor A PROPOS of the Rhinelander case, the public has been treated to a series of sensational revelations and surrires in one form and another, but the greatest sur- prises in one form and another, but the greatest surprise of all was the item of news which appeared this morning on the front page of "The World," under the caption: "Betting Is 5 to 1 on Rhinelander — White Plains Thinks Jury Will Annul Marriage Regardless of Evidence in Case." The article says: "Those offering the odds advanced no explanation beyond THE FAMILIAR ARGUMENT that a jury of twelve white men would not compel Rhinelander to maintain the responsibilities of husband to the daughter of a mulatto taxi driver." In this one sentence we have the sentiment of the white public from among whom the twelve jurors, sitting as judges of fact in the Rhinelander case, are drawn. If the above expression is but representative of the prevailing sentiment in those ranks, then why allow the Court to go through the farce of a trial under the guse of legal procedure, and make a useful expenditure of the people's money. Judges are paid fairly liberal salaries, and the whole delicate machinery of the Courts requires very expensive oil to keep it running; the Court in White Plains sitting on this trial will be entering its fourth week on Monday—a four weeks' comedy with its tragic side. may be easily disregarded, if they they go back on the promise they made her attorney, Mr. Davis, "to give her a fair trial," then let them be aware, although they may set away with it now, their day of reckoning will surely come, when they stand before the Great Judge who requires no evidence nor testimony, but who knows even the innermost recesses of their souls. The battle is not always to the strong. Rhlmeler may win, just to lose. Who can tell? I fe may win everything; and lose the one girl in whom he finds happiness and contentment; and without happiness there is no life. I seriously question the intention of the "World" in making publication of such news. Is it that this great metropolitan newspaper has worthy motives in conveying to its readers what it reports to be a rumor, or is it a direct attempt on its part to sway and influence the decision of the jury on the facts of a case which, as we understand it, though not yet complete, are preponderatingly in favor of the defendant? Whichever be the motive, such publication is greatly reprehensible, and is nothing short of contempt of court. The issue in the case is clean-cut. Did she or did she not deceive him? Is she guilty of the fraud with which she stands charged? If she is, then the verdict should be emphatic on this point; if she is not, then it should be no less emphatic in so declaring. Law is law; althoughuries and judges are human, and may at times err in their judgment, yet if such error is not due to bad faith, there is some excuse for them; but no excuse whatever can be extended when they deliberately set about to subvert the ends of justice. If the jury decide as "The World" expects them to decide, there will be a great miscarriage of justice with greater far-reaching results that may at present be foreseeable. The evil that men do lives after them, and if the evidence is disregarded in this case now, some future day we shall find it similarly disregarded to suit the convenience of another Rhinelander. And the question then will be: "How permanent was the evil done?" And so the public is told that it is to have a gamble instead of a law suit. It is a case of "heads I win, tails you lose," and this, "regardless of the evidence in the case." Would that an opportunity be afforded me to examine first the cranium and then the heart of an individual who could be so utterly devoid of sense of justice as to even breathe the sentiments reported in "The World," far less to utter them! But after all, I wonder whether such an examination would furnish us a basis for the discovery of any greater knowledge than we already possess regarding the base propensities of those whose greatest personal attribute seems to be a plethora of money, whose greatest passion is money, money, and more money, and who know not the meaning of honor, justice, and the other qualities which make for human virtue. For within the past few years the public has stood horrified before the grusome crimes and atrocities laid at the feet of the moneyed class. To be a millionaire nowadays would seem to be a curse—it would seem to lend color to the socialistic view. This class seems to contribute more than its quota of murderers, kidnappers, impacities, and complex dementia precox, dementia americana, split personality and schizophrenia. Now they would publicly add bribery, conspiracy, and perversion of the palpable truth. It brings forcefully to mind the scriptural interrogatory: "Father, who did sin, this man, his father, did sin, that he should be born blind." The millionaires answer the question themselves. They cry aloud "peccavimus," and readily admit their son. One tells the Court: "My son is an imbecile"; "My son is mentally inferior and below the average"; and yet another, "My boy is schizophrenic, and when we look for the counterpart of this split personality, we find it in one equally debased and degenerate—of course a millionaire's son. Oh! the baneful curse of a superabundance of money! The diseases which it breeds seem incurable; they develop into cancers which no surgeon's knife can eradicate, and which eat into the vitals of our social body. How long can these conditions endure? The answer is plain: Until man wakes up to a realization of the duty he owes his fellowman, or until he is forcefully brought to recognize it. One thing is certain, they cannot endure forever. They get either better or worse. If worse, there will undoubtedly be a rude and sad awakening, as always happens when the pendulum swings too far in one direction. Let us hope however that the state of things will henceforth gradually improve, and that the necessity for drastic correction will thus be obviated. If Alice Jones Rhinelander does not get a square deal, if those who are her judges feel that the duty entrusted to them by Justice is one to be made light of, if they feel that the solemnity of the task Chinese Missionary Tien Lai Huang, Chinese Secretary of the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions, will speak before the Lyceum of Abyssinia Baptist Church Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock. He is a native of Hinghwa, China. Mr. Huang is a alumnus of Peking, Syracuse and Columbia Universities. While studying in Hinghwa and Peking, he acted as student secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and leader of the Youths' Movement in China. Since coming to America in 1921, Mr. Huang has lectured on Chinese internal problems and international relations. He says that he is deeply interested in interpreting China to America. For this purpose he is prepared not only to lecture, but to illustrate them with a series of interesting stereoclonic views of missionary work, of China and Chinese customs, and of the student movement and the modern industrial revolution in China. Mr. Huang's knowledge of his native land and his study of American life and customs make him a unique figure of special significance to Americans interested in the relations of the East and West.

Thomas Demands Negro President for Howard University Neval H. Thomas Demands Negro President for Howard University (A Letter) I greatly regret my inability to be present with you on Monday evening, as I was called here to New York suddenly on important business. I want to assure you that I endorse the program of the Howard Welfare League without qualification, for no nobler purpose could call an organization into being than the salvation of the educational ideals of the greatest university belonging to a people. Our enemies, who lack arguments to defend their commercial support of the tyranny of Howard, say that we deal in generalities. Is not the assault upon academic freedom and the humiliation of our ablest minds a definite charge? Witness the treatment of the most distinguished black men of Howard—Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the most learned authority on Negro history living; Prof. G. David Houston, who brought Harvard's excellent English course to our students at Howard, and whose scholarly criticisms and treaties on English have evoked study and favorable comments from English authorities of Columbia University; the renowned Kelly Miller, who has done far more than any other influence to make our alum-mater known throughout the land; Dean George W. Cook, after 50 years of inframable labors there, and loved by the alumni throughout this country; Dr. Robert Just, one of the greatest scientists in the world, whose achievements are discussed in the leading universities on both sides of the ocean; Locke, philosopher and our lone Rhodes scholar; Lochard, a native black Frenchman, bringing the grace and scholarship of cultured France to our youth; Dr. Thomas W. Turner, whom Hampton rushed to employ and give leisure for investigation in biology; Profs. Childers and Tibbs, cultured products of the leading colleges of music; Prof. Montgomery Gregory and James Waring, Jr., called to high executive positions elsewhere, a distinct loss to Howard where they preferred to labor; Profs. Brown and Thornton, dismissed overnight after repeated solemn assurances by President Durkee that their services were satisfactory, and that the thought of removal was wildest rumor. Is this not a specific charge? Does not this discouragement of everything manly and scholarly in black men corrupt our youth and make them think that only by tale bearing and sophiacy can they earn a living in the world? Does not the high-handed insult and dismissal of these worthy servants put the very positions of the tale-bearers in jeopardy? Visit the university; examine the last issue of "The Alumnus" and see who are in the front seats now—no one of distinction or superior scholarship, no one who contributes anything to the great name of our university. The old line men and women, those who have achieved and whose presence at Howard entices parents to send their youth there, are ignored and must yield favor to the nondescripts. The great soul of the university is dying, and the scene is saddening. More and more of the university's funds are being wasted to defend Dr. Durkke. Only this summer after the cruel dismissal of these valued-servants had aroused the indignation of the colored people of the nation President Durkke called a conference of trustees here in the palatial Prince George Hotel, and decided upon an increase of propaganda expenditure of $15,000 a year. This is in addition to his $11,000 salary and allowances, and the $10,000 per year which his alumni secretary and the publication of his organ, the "Howard Alumnus," cost the university every year. Yet there are no funds with which to pay the salaries to the superior teachers he dismissed. Is this not a specific charge? Then again he has the same HEAR CLARENCE DARROW Sunday, Dec. 13 --- At 3 SALEM M. E. CHURCH 129th St. and 7th Ave. TELL ABOUT THE SWEET DEFENSE CASE Under the Auspices of the N. A. A. C. P. ADMISSION FREE ALL INVITED contemptible opinion of Negroes that most of our white enemies have, namely, that they are not fit for a share in government, but must be governed. For instance, he disfranchised the alumni which had already elected its alumni secretary and was publishing its own magazine by naming Rev. Smith for his "alumni secretary" and ordering the publication of an "Alumni" propaganda organ which is distributed free of cost and filled with administration propaganda. Sometimes it contains assaults upon the alumni. One of his other favorites will even go so far as to threaten members with bodily harm. One came to the high school and in conversation delivered such threat to me. He is one who received a large promotion in the same act that dismissed the four noted professors for economy, is this distranchisement a definite charge? I have sought in vain to interest these favorites of Dr. Durkee to take some part in the civic life of the community, even as late as the Dr. Sweet case, in which they and the whole race, including Howard University, are on trial, but they think such request rediculous. Their whole activities are spent in praising their bountiful benefactor and holding their position and securing promotions. They even defend the president in his insult to the whole race, including them, in holding the presidency of a school in Boston from which he excludes Negro youth. One said; "If he can get the money, I don't blame him." Is the maintenance of a film-crow institution in the shadow of Bunker Hill by a mediocre white man who makes a splendid living from colored people a definite charge? I submit that we pay no attention to demagogues who have no arguments to offer in support of unlittigious policies, for they only seek personal profit, as they do in all of the public movements that they touch. Our remedy is in democracy in education as well as democracy in the government, namely, the election of the trustee board by asking Congress to change the charter, and by the election of a Negro as president of this the greatest Negro seat of learning in the land. RUNS DOWN STREET CAR MOTORMAN To await the outcome of the condition of a white man he seriously injured with a motorcycle, Leroy Branch, 26, 575 Classon avenue, Brooklyn, was held in $1,000 bail by Magistrate Marsh in the Harlem Court Wednesday. Thomas Carney, 39, employed by the New York Railway Co., 2853 Eighth avenue, told Policeman Wachek of the East 140th street station that he was cleaning a switch at 116th street and Madison avenue, when Branch apparently lost control of his motorcycle and ran into him. Carney was hurried to the Beth David Hospital. N. C. CONVICT BOSS HELD FOR MURDER ALDEMARLE. N. C., Nov. 30. N. C. Cranford, white, superintendent of the Stanley County convict camp, was named in three incidents Thursday, two of them charging murder of convicts and the other assault with a deadly weapon. He was released under bond. Jas. W. Johnson to Address "Y" Mr. James Weidon Johnson, executive secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. will be the speaker at the "Big Meeting" on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 4 p. m. Mr. Johnson needs no introduction to the New York public as his work with the association speaks for itself. Ladies are also invited to attend these meetings. This policy has been in vogue for nearly three weeks, due to the many requests made by them to hear representative speakers who are brought to the Big Meeting platform. OTHER Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Membership Campaign, by a vote of the workers, has been extended until Monday, Dec. 7, in order to allow the teams to make a final clean-up. By that time the goal of 200 new members will have been renched, it is hoped, so that the victory dinner of chicken, beef, beans and hot dogs may be served the victorious teams. Bean suppers are being held every Wednesday evening prior to the Bible Study classes. Every man interested in the study of the Bible is invited to identify himself with this group. A small fee of 35 cents is charged for the supper. One may eat as much as he desires. Four delegates from this branch attended the Older Boys' Conference, held in White Plains, N.Y. Nov. 27 to 29, namely, Leon Drake, Oron Riley, Lawrence Hunt and Hilton Mayers. Assistant Boys' Work Secretary, Nearly 306 boys from the lower sections of New York State were in attendance. Mr. C. S. Osborn, freshman coach, Yale University; Dean A. Wellington Taylor, of the New York University Graduate School of Finance and Commerce, and Mr. Les Glenn of the Theological Seminary of Alexandria, Va. were the speakers. A discussion group composed of older boys began on Monday evening, Nov. 30. Some of the questions which will be taken up at the World's Young Men's Christian Association convention to be held in Helsington, Finland, Aug. 1 to 6, will be discussed. Mr. C. E. Silcox, a downtown banker, is the discussion leader. Any older boy, 16 to 21, is welcome to meet with this group on Monday evenings at 7:30 o'clock. "International Leader Needed," Says W. S. Scarborough W. S. Scarborough Dr. W. S. Scarborough, noted Greek scholar, and for many years president of Wilberforce University. In an address at the West 135th Street Y. M. C. A. last Sunday afternoon said that the Near East problem is one that has to do with the exploitation of the darker races of the world. The noted scholar said that the nations of the world had entered into a conspiracy to keep the darker races down. Dr. Scarborough told how England was mistreating India and urged the preachers, editors and professional men and women to take a greater interest in international problems. He made a plea that colloge men be more concerned with those vital problems which have to do with world betterment. He said that in a great many instances the college men of the race were not living up to their responsibilities to their generation. "We need a great international leader," said the speaker. "One who is willing to die for a cause." Dr. Scarborough was presented by Dr. Gustavus Henderson, who met him when he was attending Howard University. The meeting was in charge of Henry Parker, Jr., and the soloist was Mme. Buffitt. Thomas E. Taylor, the executive secretary, made a plea for Africa, which resulted in a special collection being taken to support the work in that country. The Rev. Robert Erskine Campbell, white, of Sewance, Tenn., elected Missionary Bishop of Liberia at the recent General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church at New Orleans, was consecrated at 10 o'clock Monday morning at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, with all the attendant ceremonial. In assuming jurisdiction over Liberia the Rev. Campbell will take entire charge of the district in which he has worked several years as a member of the Order of the Holy Cross, from the vows of which he has been released.

If this is to be done efficiently and for the good of the many, it is necessary that there be on hand names of men and women prepared for special kinds of work. There is in New York a larger number of Negroes doing work other than that for which they are prepared than in any other city in the country. This is certainly not always the Negroes' fault. A lack of understanding by employers, as well as certain prejudicial elements have done much to promote such a situation. The organization also feels that there are many who would willingly take better positions, those for which they are more adapted or prepared.

The Civil Liberties Union has also taken up the case with Governor McLean and Mayor Malvin Horton of Farmville. Dr. Collins, a Jamaican physician, was taken from his automobile on the night of September 28 and whipped. His assailants ordered him to leave town. Instead of doing so he appealed to Mayor Horton and to Governor McLean. Governor McLean referred him to Solicitor Jesse Davis of New Bern, who is now investigating the case.

Social Workers Hear British Labor Discussed A meeting of the Social Workers Club of New York was held at the Dining Car Men's Home Association, 184 West 135th street, Tuesday, Nov. 14, with Miss Eva MacNaughten, a member of the British Labor Party, and a director of the Women's International League for Peace, as speaker. Miss MacNaughten described most vividly the aims and purposes of the British Labor movement, telling how the Labor Party was able to secure a million votes in the last election. The striking similarity between the struggle of the Negroes in America and the fight being waged by the British Labor Party was pointed out. Officers of the club were elected as follows: Miss Elizabeth Martin, Director of the Girls' Service League, was chosen as President; Mrs iselle Johnson, of the New York Urban League, was president; James H. Huber, former president of the club, acted as chairmn. Big Reduction in Prices Regular price Special price Full treatment (3.

News of Churches, Fraternities and Organizations New York Urban League Modifies Its Program At a regular meeting of the Executive Board of the New York Urban League, held Tuesday evening, November 24, the question of reorganizing its industrial and employment work so as to best serve the interest of New York's Negro population was discussed with keen interest. Whether the League shall give first emphasis to placements in jobs generally held by persons of the race such as such in employment, or throw its whole influence in creating openings in the skilled trades and professions, has been a subject of study for some months. A special committee, with Mrs. Kenneth E. Walser, chairman of the Industrial Committee of the League, as chairman, was appointed last spring to make recommendations after a thorough canvass of the field. Acting upon the recommendation of Mr. Ira Dea, Reh, the industrial secretary, it was unanimously voiced that the large number of the New York Urban League will be that of making openings not generally held by Negro workers and encouraging workers to fit themselves for advancement. The report of James H. Hubert, executive secretary, indicated that with the close of the present year the New York Urban League will conclude the most successful effort since its organization. The report shows that current law registration for baccalaureate is free and be accommodated at Lee Cottage on Staten Island and at Elmstford, N. Y., places conducted under the supervision and at the expense of the League. A branch has been opened at Columbus Hill. "One of the greatest problems now facing colored welfar workers," said the report, "is that of finding a place for the delinquent blond boy Ferry has already begun to eliminate all colored boys. There has been on foot for some time a definite scheme engineered by a new designing persons to segregate the delinquent colored boy in segregated institutions. Some relief has been offered through the Riverdale Orphanage in the increase of its age. Include boys up to age 18. Announcement was made of the 15th annual conference of the National Urban League, to be held in New York City February 25, 1926. Beautification of Playgrounds Contest A national contest for the beautification of playgrounds is announced by the Playground and Recreation Association of America. Any playground, athletic field, or other public outdoor playground, playground or recreational group is eligible for the competition. As prizes in the contest the Harmon Foundation of New York City offers three awards of $50 each and 20 of $50 each to those communities whose playground show the greatest progress in the period of the competition, which ends November 1, 1925. Cities are divided in three classes—those less than $8,000, from $8,000 to 25,000, and above $25,000. In addition to the Harmon awards, museums, universities give the winners $25 or $50 in every stock. Entries for the contest close December 1, 1925. Four committees of colored citizens in as many cities were awarded $2,000 each by the Harmon Foundation last year in a national competition for 50 awards for the purchase of playfields. The cities were Orangeburg, S. C. Cooper, Mobile Ala., and Worth, Texas. In Lake Charles, Ia., both a white and a colored committee had entered their requests for the awards and the white committee, feeling that the needs of that section of the city represented by the colored committee were greater, withdrew their request in favor of the colored group, but rather withdrew $2,000 each he assisted in purchasing a playfield by a special loan from the Harmon Foundation. A community may enter as may playgrounds in the beautification contest as it wishes, but not more than one award will be made in each community. The Playground and Recreation Association of America will administer the award and all communications should be addressed to this organization at 315 Fourth Avenue, New York City. FIGHTING JIM CROW SWIMMING POOL The Los Angeles Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its attorney, E. Burton Cerven, is fighting an attempt by the city authorities to designate certain colored children shall be permitted to use the municipal swimming pool. The Branch and Mr. Cerritt have taken the case to court, where argument has been had and both sides have been asked to file briefs. It is the contention of the N. A. A. P. that the charter does not give the local Park Commission the right to discriminate against any American citizens. Court hearing was largely at tended by members of the N. A. A. C. P. and their friends. $100.00 For Any Tooth We Cannot REWARD Extract Painlessly Harlem's Most Modern Dental Offices DRS. CAMPBELL, & BANK8 5138 71H Ave., cor. 127th St. Morningside .450 Mission Work Big Asset to Welfare Work Foreign missionary work such as that carried on by the Methodist Episcopal Church is making a distinct contribution to the welfare of the world. Dr. Thomas' Jesse Jones, educational secretary of the Phelps-Stokes Foundation, declared today. "It is helping the peace and harmony of nations and aiding a better mutual understanding of the races of mankind," he said. Mohammedanism Menacing Central Africa Negroes Dr. Jones was chairman of two commissions of educators and scientists who recently made extensive studies of educational problems and condoned reports which have resulted in enlarged plans for missionary undertakings on that continent. HELP CONQUER DISEASE. "Africa, Asia and Europe are at our doors," he continued. "They can underline our peace by their efforts. We can help to make us a greater nation by their wealth of resources and their friendship." American influence, through the churches, in the Portuguese possessions is "far more intimate and effective than that of the League nations can possibly be," he declared. "Methodist Episcopal missions there are helping the people to make use of the soil, to conquer disease, and to realize the opportunities of the limited capacity of the small Portuguese nation to deal adequately with its great possessions, the American help is not only more desirable, but absolutely necessary. The men and Methodist money have been sent to Africa for almost a century, and the world has thereby made safer not only for democracy, but for Christian civilization. America has been enriched by the service of 10,000, American patriotism and humanity will increasingly feel that Methodist missions have been helping to repay Africa for the centuries of exploitation, both of physical resources and human belongs to a great country has been subjected. The six sections of Africa in "The forces of Mohammedanism are marching from the north and from the west among the peoples of Central Africa and threatening to turn large numbers of the Negro race to Islam," according to the Rev H. I. James, superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Nigeria, in a recent report to the Board of Foreign Missions. "Millions of these black people of Central Africa," he continued, "are aroused to the need of something they do not find in the pagan life about them, and they readily grasp at anything that promises to be a bit better than they have. If the Christian people of the world do not send greater missionary forces to the negro non-millions will be claimed by Mohammedanism instead of by Christianity." "We missionaries on the field are almost powerless in face of the shrinking missionary interest on the part of those at home. We have something to offer these millions, but we have no means of getting it to them. They call to us to help them. We cannot respond. In our exotymy we commend them to God and for the time turn away. Take a picture of one of these stations manned by a native evangelist. Five days in the week he gathers all who care to come into the school and gives them of his rudiments and teachings of the different subjects. Then the men, women and children, eager to gain knowledge. Not only in the literary subjects, but also the rudiments and elements of hygiene and right. Living as this has been taught to him in the training school he is learning and evening the people gathers in the church for prayers. Week by week, on Sundays and various weekdays services are held for prayer, testimony and preaching. The Sunday school gathers regularly and the word of God is exalted and the people are sick or dying in the village. They are carried outside the village and lying left to die, the Christian evangelist pays his visits to advise concerning them, as well as to pray with them. The people are welcomed to his garden, where they learn practical results of proper knowledge and that they might be able to grow more and better food, and thus be able to be better in health. "At the proper season, generally at quarterly meeting, the evangelist presents the converts for reception, into a class for learners and others, after due trial and examination, as candidates, for probu which the Methodist, Episcopal missions are located are of strategic value in the general welfare of that great continent. Liberia the special concern of America, as well as us, and auspices. If our Government cannot participate adequately, our missions can and do help the people toward a knowledge and practice of sound community life. With American missions, the Methodist, Episcopal missions that bless will fulfill our national obligations. GREAT POSSIBILITIES. "In the great British possessions of Southern Rhodesia, and the Union of South Africa, the missions are co-operating, in education, in health, in the provision of much value, both to the people and to the country. Most dramatic are the possibilities of American service in the large copper districts of the Belgian Congo. To the extent that native forages for hundreds of miles in all directions. With more financial help, and a larger staff of virile capable Americans, the native people could be shown a way of life, which could be of real significance, not only to Africa, but internationally. "Atogether, the Methodist Episcopal missions in the six districts of Africa will spend during the current year over $250,000. This substantial sum, is, however, of far less significance than the service of the devoted men and women who are carrying American sympathy, ingenuity and expertion. Such missions should be reckoned by the American people as their most substantial contribution to the welfare of world peace and harmony." tionship and full membership in the church. He belongs those who desire to dedicate their children in baptism. In these and in many other ways he relates the gospel of the kingdom to the life of the people.

Dr. Butler was preaching from St. Stephen's Church, where they who worship Him must worship Him in grace and truth." His sermon emphasized the fact that --- man has a spiritual side to his life.

ALLEN What will doubtless be gatherings of Negro college place on December 26, when unity, one of the largest Greek try, will open its national con What will doubtless be one of the most representative gatherings of Negro college men in the country, will take place on December 26, when the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, one of the largest Greek letter fraternities of the country, will open its national convention in this city. The convention will be the guest of the Owlerson chapter of New York, and the chapter is makingample provisions for the entertainment and comfort of the visiting collectors. Upwards of 200 delegates from every section of the country, graduates of the leading American colleges and universities, and prominent in many walks of life are expected to attend. The business sessions will be held at Earl Hall, Columbia University, and the university has organised the local chapter to give the visitors every courtesy. House will be held at the Mine. Walker studio. On Monday evening the reception of the 16th annual grand chapter will be held, and on Tuesday evening the annual banquet will take place at the City College Club, 46 E. Pitfield street. On Wednesday evening the annual prom, which is the crowning social feature of the convention, will be held at the International House. The convention has never met in New York before. The Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity was founded fourteen years ago at the University of Indiana. The Earl Dickerson, of Chicago, grand polemarch of the fraternity, will find everything in reudiness when he comes here to preside over the sessions. The convention will open on Saturday afternoon at Earl Hall, with a meeting of the grand board of directors. This will be followed in the evening with a basket-ball game between the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, and the Kappa Alpha fraternity at the Renaissance Casino. The annual sermon will be breached on Sunday morning by Bethel A. M. E. Church by Bishop T. C. Rampon. In the afternoon, the annual public meeting of the fraternity, one of the features of the convention, will be held at Abyssinian Baptist Church, Bishop W. T. Vernon, former Register of the Treasury, will be the principal speaker. On Sunday evening open Journal of National Endorses Lega Journal of National Medical Ass'n Endorses Legal Defense Program Dr. John A. Kenny, editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association, has forwarded to the National Association the following editorial, which appears in the current number of the Journal: "It is to the honor of the N. A. A. C. P. that they have secured the best available legal talent to defend Dr. and Mrs. O. H. Sweet and their associates against the charge of murder for which they are held as a result of the killing of a member of a howling mob around their newly acquired and occupied home in Detroit on September 9. The fact that they have the Hon. Clarence Darrow of Chicago, nationally known for his legal talent and his liberal views on the race question, assures them a fearless defense. "The N. M. A. would be remix in its duties and to its opportunities did it not severally and personally join with the N. A. A. C. P." Fisk University Hosts to Y.M. and Y.W.C.A. Conference NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Nov. 30.—A conference of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. delegates from the various schools of the city was held at Fisk University recently, which proved to be rather significant because of the many problems discussed and the conclusions reached. The young people entered into all of the sessions with zest and enthusiasm. The conference was attended by approximately 100 delegates, coming from Roger Williams University, Walden College, A. & I. State Normal and Fisk University. Several outside speakers and national "Y" workers were participants in the conference and lent much to its success through their counsel and wisdom. All of the delegates expressed satisfaction over the results of the conference, but it is felt that much good will be derived from this gathering. (Preston News Service). COLUMBUS, O. Nov. 20—Police are holding Mrs. Sally Atkins aged 35 years, for investigation one of the most representative men in the country, will take the Kappa Alpha Psi frater letter fraternities of the conventio n in this city.

Driggs, founder and first national president; Dr. Jessie Peters, of St. Louis; Edgar Brown, tennis player, and Robert S. Abbott, publisher of the Chicago Defender are expected to attend. in its honorable effort to see that the accused get a fair and impartial trial. We editorially call upon our members and readers to give not only moral but financial backing to the defense. "In our opinion the accused have done nothing more wrong than to exercise their constitutional right to defend their persons and property against the illegal and irresponsible rob. In this right they are protected by the Constitution of the United States, and in it they should be protected by the municipal and State laws also. "The editor's moral sympathy is unlimited and, as an earnest of his sincerity plus a desire to stimulate others likewise, he is sending his personal check for $25 to assist the movement. "Our doctors, dentists and pharmacists throughout the country we urge to do likewise." and questioning in the killing of her husband, Henry, at their home Tuesday night, when she is alleged to have shot him to death. According to Mrs. Atkins' story, she shot her husband after she had taken a revolver from him when he had come home intoxicated and quarrelled with her. Atkins died in a police ambulance en route to St. Francis' Hospital and Mrs. Atkins gave herself up to the police. After being shot Atkins staggered out of the house and attempted to reach a doctor, but the bullet had severed a jugular vein and he fell unconscious from the loss of blood before he had gone 100 feet from the house.

Nov. 30—Green Woodford appeared at Detective Headquarters wearing one-half his coat. He told the officers that another man had promised him a position as a porter with a large Fifth street department store, but that it would be necessary for him to give $20 for the uniform. Woodford told the officers that he handed the money to his supposed benefactor—in an envelope and that he was given an empty one in return. Woodford said a debate ensued requiring a statement be punctuated with considerable gesture. Woodford emerged from the heated discussion with but one-half of his coat.

ARMSTRONG Before entering deeply into this article, a definition should be given of the word "Corporation." A corporation is an artificial body created by a statute of law having the rights of any natural person. Certain special privileges are accorded it, which are duly set forth in its charter of organization. Before the corporation became so much used the chief forms of conducting business were the single proprietorship and the co-partnership. As business interest, assumed gigantic proportions, and plants became far-flung, while profits might be large, the risk was more than one or two persons cared to assume. Any business to be successful must be continuous. The death of the proprietor of a one-man business might be fatal to the enterprise. Death, or a difference of business policy, would be equally as fatal to the partnership. Wherever there was a desire for continuous management and for the co-ordinating of management and capital or the limiting of the risk of the partners to the amount invested in the enterprise, the corporation was the only form offering these advantages. The most of our race group into the field of the corporate form of business, while dating back possibly as far as a quarter-century, it was really during the World War that we entered this form of conducting business. With high wages for labor and a great demand for all sorts of labor and material, lacking the training and experience necessary to obtain the best results, these various enterprises of mushroom growth se passed to the graveyards. Seven out of every ten enterprises that were launched during that period have failed. Where to Obtain YOUR 1926 License Manhattan. Main office, Bureau of Motor Vehicles, 220 West 40th street.

Would you now what a you to the Information Ser In a quiz on Harlem, whentuberculosis Committee Clinic, the Nutrition Class Would you know what Alice meant if she said, "I belong to the Carrot Club"? Would you now what a nurse meant if she referred you to the Information Service Bureau of Harlem? In a quiz on Harlem, what could you tell of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee, the North Harlem Dental Clinic, the Nutrition Class for Children? Alice, though many years your junior, knows something of all these things. Why shouldn't you? In August, 1922, at the invitation of local citizens, the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee was organized. This interracial committee consists of physicians, ministers, social workers, business men and others interested in health in Harlem Visit, but cannot be regular attendants to the class. Children are referred to the Harlem office by various health and civic welfare agencies of Harlem, including the following: Department of Health, Harlem Hospital, Henry Street Nursing Service, New York Urban League, Charity Organization Society, Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, North Harlem Medical, Heading the committee is Henry O. Harding, M. D., with Adah Thons Smith, R. N., vice-chairman: Mrs. Jane Best, sec. and Yrs. Marilyn Doyle Keaton, R. N., executive secretary. The committee members include the following: Dr. P, F. Anderson, Mrs. Esther Archer, Mrs. Justin Bell, Miss Hello Davis, Thomas B. Dytt, Mrs. Blanch Glover, James H. Hubert, Miss Mary Lloyd, R. N: Dr. P. M. Murray, Loo Foit Nearson, Mrs. Grace B.

Wright, Mrs. Katherine Wells Whipple, secretary of the Extension and Development Service of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association. Dental Clinic. That Harlem might become even a healthier and happier community the North Harlem Dental Clinic was opened in August, 1824. In one year, 1,005 little patients, who could not afford to go to private dentists, made 3,377 visits to the clinic. Nutrition Class. In "taking the pains out of health teaching," a nutrition class for children who are markedly underweight meets every Thursday. Miss J. Ida Roberts, R. N., conducts the class in theory and practice. Every 12 weeks a new class is formed. The present class has 14 boys and girls, who receive instructions in the general care of the body, the value of exercise, good food, fresh air and plenty of sleep. When a child is graduated from the nutrition class and given a diploma, she is eligible for the honor group—the Carrot Club. (Carrots make you beautiful. Eat them!) Strange to say, the graduates never want to leave the class. They try to find some pretext for returning. Many of the graduates cry when told they may Your Problem Solved If you wish to buy a home, but have not sufficient cash, The Byahome Corporation will help you.

Not only for those who have tuberculosis, but also for those who are desirous of obtaining general health information and advice, the information service stands ready to assist at all times. "Mrs. A. of Boston," according to Mrs. Mrs. Doyle Keaton, R. N., executive secretary of the committee, "heard her sister was here in a hospital suffering from tuberculosis. She went to Metropolitan Hospital, Welfare Island, in search of her sister, but no trace of her was found. Mrs. A; then spoke to a nurse from the Visiting Nurse Service of the Henry Street Settlement, who referred her to the workers in the Harlem office. "On hearing Mrs. A's story, I asked for her sister's previous address. She knew it was on a certain street near Seventh avenue, but did not know the number. This tentative address is in the Harlem Hospital district, so I called the Harlem Tuberculosis Clinic. I was taken in the clinic knew Helen B. and I was at a hospital in Long Island the previous day. Thus Mrs. A., a stranger, found her slick sister." Christmas Seal Sale. From November 27 to December 25 is the Christmas Seal Sale campaign period. The original seal sale idea started in Denmark in 1903 by a young mail clerk, Einar Holboell. It was Miss Emily P. Bissell of Wiltingham, Dela., in 1907, who adopted the idea in America. During the period the seals have been in existence, the death rate from tuberculosis in this country has fallen from 198 per hundred thousand population to 95, a saving of over 100,000 lives. The temporary address of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee is 215 West 133d street. So buy your seals—plenty of them—and make health in Harlem safe! SPECIAL FLAT WHITE $1.65 per gal. S. J.

I think that if I worked for a man I would work for him, I would not work for him a part of the time, and the rest of the time work against him. I would give an undivided service or none. If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must vilify, condemn and eternally disparage, why, resign your position, and when you are outside damn to your heart's content. But I pray you, so long as you are a part of an institution, do not condemn it. Not that you will injure the institution — not that — but when you disparage the concern of which you are a part you disparage yourself. More than that, you are loosening the tendrils that hold you to the institution, and the first high wind that comes along you will be uprooted and blown away in the blizzard's track — and probably never know why.

Nov. 30.—Spencer Murray, Pullman porter, who died here last week at 67, served five American Presidences on their journeys over the continent. He was a particular favorite of President Roosevelt and also made numerous journeys with Presidents Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley and Taft in his 38 years of service. He was assigned to President McKinley's party at the time of his assassination. His friends recall, too, that he served the bridal parties of President Cleveland and Representative Nicholas Longworth. Alice and Kip Alice in Wonderland By WILLIAM PICKENS Alice had a little Kip, hid his brain up. HICHT this was LIVERY as snow — And everywhere that Alice and everywhere that Alice went. For years he tried to go. And she couldn't get rid of him till she married him. Nothing else she did for him or to him could "shoo" him off. Days and days, in hotels, motor trips through New England, with an invisible "Mr. and Mrs. Jones" as chaperons none of these things could move him. He vowed eternal and everlasting love, till marriage do us part. As we look at him we wonder why on earth Alice ever married him; but perhaps that is the reason—it was the only way to BE RID OF HIM. When a white millionaire of an old "first family" gets on the trail of a colored girl who is not particularly good-looking, but ordinary and passable, he seems to get possessed of a spirit that can only be got out of him by marriage. After he MARRIES, that great American SOMETHING indescribable wakes up—and wakes him up. That American thing is not interested in motor trips and private hotel parties—in prostitution, or bastardy—but it is awfully interested AGAINST the decent thing of MARRIAGE. But "Little Old New York" is at heart partly civilized in this particular. If Kip had only been in Mississippi—Good Lared!—he might have had all those motor trips and things and would have been protected by the impossibility of the marriage. And even if he had pretended to marry and the ding was apparently done—all he would have to do, when Kip got ready, to skip, would he to suddenly find out that Alice had a few drops of "colored" blood in her veins, and—preset!—the marriage would have been all null and void. Now, they are millionaires ought to all migrate to Mississippi. Civilization is fixed upon there just to suit their tastes and their convenience. And their convenience. Man's too queer an animal to be related to logical creatures like pigs and cows and monkeys. Book by MARY WHITE "Por By Du Bose Heyward. Published in Madison Avenue, New York City.

Published by George Doran & Company, 244 Madison Avenue, New York City. Price, $2.00. By mall, $2.10. THIS is a magnificent story. I can't think of a novel of Negro life since Chesnutt's "House Behind the Cedars" so artistic in its makeup. Here in two hundred pages we have love, jealousy, murder, and an account of a hurricane that leave the reader exhausted as from a race. And we have unforgettable characters, Porgy' Crown, Bess—beggar, murderer, prostitute—but all overflowing with life. Black, bulking figures that make the white people about them seem thin-blooded and mean. Porgy is a tale of Charleston, S. C. It is laid in Catfish Row, a court by the wharves, where there are still signs of beauty in the massive Italian wrought iron grill and in the pastel shades of the fingonates. Here gamble and women take dope, and babies are born and cared for tenderly and love is strong and sometimes faithful. Heyward Blum who calls his significant novel too, compares Catfish how to Gorky's Night's Lodging, but I see no such likeness except that both are in the lowest depth. For Gorky's men and women have come from high station and sunk out of sight, while Heyward's Negroes are not one-time barons or actors, but descendants of elves who are hugely attractive or two they will have left Catfish Row and become respectable, but then no poet will write of them. For Du Bose Heyward is a poet. One feels it throughout his book, not only in the beauty of his descriptions, but in his detachment from propaganda, from a remarkable that he, a Charlestonian of family, should have gotten so close to the life of the Negro. That the Charlestonian usually knows nothing of this life, the author of Porgy shows us clearly, "If I ebber gibs me has no right to bigger, one of the women says, 'You do flope, I 'goin' fix him so his own mammy ain't know um! But I ain't goin' gib um way tuh de white folks." When the coroner comes and tries to get evidence regarding a murder in Catfish Row he meets a woman, cloveness. It is like the picture in the opera "L'Oruale" of the San Francisco policeman walking through a street of THE ideal of happiness is not "men like gods," but MEN LIKE BOYS. Men are most enjoyable when they are just boys again; when the trappings and formalities of dignity and hypocrisy are discarded and they set about just being human, and enjoy each other's companionship — not "society." In this capacity "Phil" Dabney, of Cincinnati, who, in grown-up parlance, is known as Mr. W. P. Dabney, editor and owner of the Cincinnati "Union," is about the finest chap we ever knew at his age. He is about sixty—older than the rest of us boys whom he gathered together in a private corner of a Cincinnati hotel the other evening. There were just five of us — Dabney and Brascher and Decatur and Higgins and "me." THE ideal of happiness MEN LIKE BOYS. they are just boys a formalities of dignity and they set about just being companionship — not "soo Dabney, of Cincinnati, we known as Mr. W. P. Dal Cincinnati "Union," is ab knew at his age. He is a of us boys whom he gath- ner of a Cincinnati hotel just five of us — Dabney Higgins and "me." Dabney had provided the guts, and everything to drink that a fellow was willing to drink: "dry gin," made damp by something "sott," for those who wanted that; and for those whose stomachs were limited, there was ginger-ale, coco cola and cold water. Let us interject that "Phil" Dabney has none of the inferiority complex of those fellows who drink and smoke, but who cannot like a fellow who doesn't—because they always imagine that the other fellow feels that he is superior to them. Dabney perfectly at home, perfectly comfortable and able, with his ginger-ale and gin, right in the face of any other fellow who is taking only ginger-ale and water. That is the badge of complete self-respect and good sportsmanship—and we admire it in Dabney. It was an "elegant repast," as some sophisticated grown-up might say, but we ate it without much ceremony. And then we began to talk, and, Lord, how we laughed! We laughed and talked about and at our friends and acquaintances, our colleagues and co-workers. We tore off their conventional and hypocritical coverings and looked at their naked humanity for just what it is—and what characters in world-comedy they did make! Ours was like a gathering of fellows who, having been all day in military march or on dress裤, had at last retired to their private hangout, where they could throw off their brass buttons, kick off their boots, and breathe informally. If some of the folks we know well could have seen how our conversation photographed them! The next evening after I had Chat BY E OVINGTON "Chat" By George Doran & Company. 24. Price. $2.00.

Here in two hum- usy, murder, and an account reader exhausted as from a role characters, Porgy' Crown institute—but all overflowing sites that make the white peo- ded and mean. Chinatown. He is utterly alien and thinks two men, one leaning against the other, are good friends, though the one is a murderer and the other his victim, still warm in death. Catfish Row is as far removed from the understanding of Charleston as Chinatown is from that of white San Francisco. Once in the book white Charleston sees the Negroes flash through the city, the Sisters of "Repent, ye, saith the Lord," riding six, sapping, scouring, orange, flaming, umberal, wild, clashing, unbelievable discords." We know they were laughed at and forgotten. Only the poet, seeing them, felt the dominant rhythm that made them unbelievably right. Porgy is no happy tale. For some of us the edge of our excitement is taken off by reading in the August Forum "Crown's Bess," litted bodily by Mr. Heyward out of Porgy (or was Porgy an outgrowth of Crown's Bess?), short story that has a powery ending, but it is powerful as the novel. One wishes it were possible for power and happiness a little oftener to go together. In his lovely volume of poems, "Skylines and Horizons," Mr. Heyward thus describes the mountains: "Dim with the wistful dim-ld eyes That, having looked on life time out of mind Know that the simple gift of being kind Is greater than all wisdom of the wise." Du Bose Heyward has not had to wait for old age, but has been given this gift in his youth, and in kindness he sees the faming, passionate world of Catfish Row. Fellowship By WILLIAM PICKENS "used my speech" in the afternoon to a crowd of pale-faces in the Shubert Theatre, and answered their queer questions. Brasher and I repaired to the shack of Dahney on Beecher street—or, as any grown-up would put it, to the elegant mansion of the Editor of the Cincinnati "Union" on the street made famous by the fact that at one end of it, a block from the editor's residence, stands the house in which Harrier Beecher Stowe wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin." And boys, Dahney's shack is some swell hut. Mrs. Dabney, the wife, recognizing "the boy problem" in her husband, has given him one room in the house for his very own. In this room he has a great table and easy chairs; a cabinet whose doors, when opened, disclose within it the strange bottles, tiny and tall glasses, packs of cards, sizes of "chips," little wooden and ivory men and soldiers, kings and queens and things; also a big peacan; and best of all a five-string banjo and a six-string guitar. He also has a little closet with running water, opening right off his den, originally and pour up the ginger-ale, coca cola, and so forth—the gingerale for me, and the so forth for him and Brasher. Just us three musketeers, you know—and again we fired and thrust and talked and laughed-at our friends, our enemies, our past and our present. Boys, that fellow Dabney has a line of human experience covering the last half century, which, if he would write down and offer it for sale, ought to go like "hot dogs" at Coney Island. After the three-cornered palver was over, Dabney hauled out his five-string banjo and gave us some solos. This is a more aristocratic instrument than the humble four-s string variety. Now, Old Man "Phil" has not played us a professional musician for the last years, but I'll tell the world he has not forgotten to spank and tickle this little instrument, making it cry or laugh, groan or shout aloud. First you'd hear camp meeting prayers and low moans under handkerchief heads—and next you'd be visioning some gay lady with a pink cotton blossom stuck in her fuzzy hair, her skirts held up on either side by dainty long black fingers, while she pirouetted on nimble toes—oh, boy! And next, Nahum Daniel Brascher, editor of the Associated Negro Press (ahent!), co-worker with Claudie A. Barrett, who stands more than six feet and Literally looks down on Brascher and most of the rest of us mortals—this Nahum Daniel Brascher took his place at the poo-and began alternately to pet and punish that helpless instrument, while we all three burdened the air with our "meloujus" voices. Now on program—Dabney picked up in his big guitar, which looks like a mother to all the ordinary little guitars we had seen—and he played a little of every air of the last 50 years, finally tuning in on the "Spanish Fandango." Next Brascher whirled around on his stool, and by a sort of inspiration "as it were" (scolah!) we all fell into an impromptu three-piece "orchestry"—Nahum at the pee-ano, "Phil" on the guitar, and "me" with clapping of my two hands and patting of my right foot. Take notice that Nahum Daniel Brascher's mother tried to handicap him by naming him after both a major and a minor prophet, but there never was a prophet of Palestine who could burden the breezes with such majors and minors as those liberated by Brascher and Dalnney—while I clapped and patted. This grand ensemble concluded our program. But, oh boys, if I had not been anticipating the burden of speaking the next night to a crowd of brown-faces at the Baptist church, we might have tarried till daybreak, for when old chaps forget that they are grown they are some good company—and I don't mean maybe. LIBRARY NOTES. The second "Book Evening" of the year will be held on Thursday evening, December 3. Keeping Fit-:- By R. ELLIOTT RAWLING, M.D. THE answer to this question is being awaited by an awakened public, who now realize the suffering and loss due to this baffling disease. I shall answer this question in a spirit of pride, because of the splendid advancement made by medical science in the treatment and cure of this most frequent disease. Poems submitted for publication in "The Foot's Corner" will not be published unless accompanied with a self-addressed and stamped envelope. IT'S foolish to dream of the future to come, Or to grieve for the days that are gone; As we pause, we grow old, still hurrying home To the grave where the others have gone. In the present we live, in the present we die; We do what we do today, today! Then how can we pause to dream or to sigh Or foolishly cast our moments away? We build the future by the deeds that we do, In the present that hurries us on; So let's make it as great as the skies are blues And remember, the present's our own. Our moments are dearer than jewels or gold. And as upward each wings to God's throne. Let it as a prize some deed unfold That will merit us our Lord's "Well Done." By William D. Robinson Cancer can be cured. It has been cured, and further advancement and more frequent cures will continue to be made when the early recognition of this disease is more frequently established. The cure of cancer, then, depends upon an early diagnosis. Most people are afraid of cancer, and because of this fear they refrain from consulting a physician or surgeon until it is quite late in the development of this malignant disease. It is to prevent such delinquency that Cancer Weak has been established—to educate the public, inform the people of the possibility of a cure, remove their fears and thus entitle them to a physician when certain symptoms are present which suggest the presence of early cancer. What, then, are the early signs of cancer? This depends upon the place upon the body which is being attacked by the cancer cells. The most frequent places of cancer are the stomach and intestines, the rectum, the womb, the breast, also the lips and tongue. The lips and tongue are prone to cancer because of frequent irritation and injury. Excessive smoking, decayed and ragged teeth; a burn of the tongue from too hot foods; all these may be the exciting cause of cancer of the lip or the tongue. Anyone noticing a persistent raw spot with a feeling of discomfort on the tongue or lip should immediately consult his physician, for this may be at 8.30, when May Lamberton Becker, editor of the "Reader's Guide" of The Saturday Review, will talk informally on the season's books. Questions and discussion will follow. The public is cordially invited. TO STUDY NATIVE AFRICAN LANGUAGES WASHINGTON, D. C.-Missionaries claim that one of the barriers to educational progress in Africa is the fact that about 800 languages and dialects are spoken there; that there is scarcely any literature in these tongues; and that the personnel and means of translating seem almost unavailable at present. Zion's Herald points out that in only three or four of the more largely used languages of the continent can one gather a library of 20 books; while in most of the few that have been reduced to writing the entire available literature could be wrapped up in a handkerchief. The Herald announces that there is under the way a plan for the organization of an "international Bureau of African Languages and Culture" in which mission boards of America, Europe and Africa and learned societies from all parts of the world will co-operate for the study of these languages, for the production of educational literature in them and to serve as a clearing house and information center for those engaged in translation work. NOW the beginning of a cancerous growth. An early operation before the cancer cells circulate and spread through the lymph channels and blood vessels will cure cancer completely. Cancer of the stomach and intestines is the most frequent of cancerous growths. This is due to the abuse and injury which the stomach sustains. Too hot foods, too cold foods, too much foods, irregular meals, badly cooked foods—all these injure the stomach wall, resulting in gastritis. If the injury continues, gastritis develops into ulcer of the stomach, and this very often proceeds into cancer. The early and suspicious symptoms are persistent and frequent digestive disturbances. Thus pain, discomfort, loss of appetite, belching and burning in the pit of the stomach, with a steady loss of weight, and symptoms that need a thorough examination. The X-ray and a chemical analysis of the stomach contents are the exact methods of detection of cancer of the stomach and intestines. Many cures of cancer of the stomach and intestines have been accomplished when early operations are performed. In women the womb and the breast are always a source of trouble. At the birth of a child the womb of the mother is frequently injured. In nursing her baby the breast becomes a vulnerable spot. Because of these irritations to these two organs, cancer frequently develops. Any woman who observes a lump in the breast, no matter how small, should consult her physician. It may be cancer. In women, any persistent bleeding or blood-tinged watery discharge should be looked upon with suspicion and expert medical opinion sought as to its origin and treatment. The rectum is the organ that retains bulky waste material and undigested parts of food until evacuated from the body. It is thus subject to constant irritations and inflammations, and these are always excitants to cancer. An increasing constipation, passage of blood or mucus, and over-offensive odor to the bowel evacuations are all signs that need expert opinion and treatment. A radical operation for cancer of the rectum gives a cure if the procedure is performed early, before the cancer spreads. Cancer occurs in many of the parts of the body, such as the skin, nose and throat, but those I have dwelt upon are the most treatable. There is much yet to learn about cancer. The ultimate aim of science is to find the cause. Until then let us use the knowledge we have thus far ascertained to battle with this disease of modern civilization. Early diagnosis and an early operation combined with X-ray and that wonderful radium are the means at our command. To those who may have symptoms of cancer I would say: "Go to your physician, find out the truth, for the truth will make you free."
