VOL. XVII. NO. 2. Published Every Wednesday by The Amsterdam News Publishing Co. 2293 7th Ave. NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1925 Entered as second-class matter Dec. 31, 1809, at the Post Office at New York, under the Act of March 3, 1879. MURDER IN COLD BLOOD STILL GOES UNAVENGED National Women's Conference THE U. S. Women's Bureau has called a national industrial conference to be held in Washington from January 18 to 21, 1926, to consider the problems of the eight and one-half million women wage-earners in the United States, whose number is increasing rather than decreasing. The call states that "this situation creates special problems, which call for careful consideration of means by which to safeguard the mothers and potential mothers of the Nation." Approximately fifty female organizations will send delegates to counsel with each other, the vast majority of which will be white. The promoters of the conference have apparently made diligent efforts to get in touch with colored women's organizations, in order that they may have equitable representation at the council table. Here, though, is where the shoe pinches. Our group has been slow—very slow—to perfect outstanding organizations or to press for membership in such unbiased contemporary organizations of the other race as could be made to see that the problems of the female wage-earner, white or black, are kindred, and that membership therein should be freely tendered to all alike. It is readily admitted that the average colored woman is too pressed with the bread-and-meat problem to give up the proper amount of time to scientific organization. But what are we going to do? The industrial, noose binds us more tightly each year. It is binding to an unequal degree, long hours, ill conditions of labor, and a host of other ovils. We find time for sewing circles, church clubs, bridge whist parties, and fraternal auxiliaries. The Eata- (Continued on Page 10.) J. A. Rogers to Tell of His European Tour J. A. Rogers, noted author, of the interesting novel, "From S.erman to Man," will bring to the audience of the "Big Meeting" his intimate impressions which have come as a result of his recent European tour. He will tell his interesting story from this platform in the Y. M. C. A., 181 West 135th street, Sunday afternoon, Dec. 13, at 4 p. m. sharp. According to Mr. Rogers, all who attend this meeting will receive some rarely heard facts concerning the conditions which are existing between black and white people, especially in England and in France. Miss Vernesia Collins, soprano, will furnish the musical program. Mr. P. Ramon DeToro will play the piano. Both men and women are invited. Congressman Dyer to Reintroduce Bill WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Representative L. C. Dwyer of Missouri will reintroduce his Anti-Lynching bill, which passed the House two years ago, but failed of a vote in the Senate. The measure was opposed by Southern Senators. The Negro Industrial Commission bill, which will also be introduced, will provide for a commission of five persons, two of whom shall be white, to be appointed by the President, the salaries not to be more than $5,000, except in the case of the chairman, who would receive $7,000. The duties of this commission, it was explained, would be "to study economic conditions and labor problems affecting the Negro, to discourage Bolshevism and to formulate a policy of understanding and confidence between the races." SON OF RICHMOND RECTOR KILLED RICHMOND, VA., Dec. 7.—Carl Taylor, eighteen-year-old son of Rev. Junius L. Taylor, rector of the Saint Philip's P. E. Church of this city, lost his life last Monday night when the car which he was driving suddenly turned turtle and left the road, when young Taylor lost control of it. The accident happened on Brook Road, near Garden City, about three miles from the city limits. William Jones, the driver's comparison in the car, escaped with slight injuries and a few minor bruises. THEFT OF TOOLS CHARGED. Charged with stealing tonsorial instruments, Robert Gray, a barber, who gave his address as 251 West 129th street, was held in $1,000 ball by Magistrate James M. Barrett in the Washington Heights Court Monday. The complaint against Gray was made by Samuel Strachan, a barber, 25 West 129th street. Says She Paid for Doctor's Office TO "BREAK THE BONDS" Patronize Only Stores Employing Negroes DR. CHENEY'S COMPLAINT SCORED BY ATTORNEYFOR MRS. DOUGLAS Says She Loaned Him Money to Set Up New Office, Had Intimate Relations With Him, and Is Now Trying to Jilt Her The Douglas-Cheney case became more complicated when the principals were arraigned before Magistrate Andrew Macrery in the Washington Heights Court Friday morning. After the arresting officer had testified, the court ordered that Mrs. Elaine Douglas, who is charged with assaulting Dr. Perry Cheney, be held without bail for the grand jury against the pleading of her attorney. Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal. Her relation with the physician, as pointed out by Attorney Grenthal, was a pathetic story. He said that Mrs. Douglas had taken $600 of the $1,500 she received in benefits from the death of her husband to furnish an elaborate office for Dr. Cheney in the new Harris Cooper Building, at 135th street and Seventh avenue. This statement seemingly made a deep impression on Dr. Cheney, for he shook his head, swallowed deep mouthfuls of air, wiped his forehead and glanced at the reporters' table, where was seated a representative of The Amsterdam News. The defendant's counsel made vigorous protest against Attorney Cornelius McDougall representing the complainant. His objection was sustained. Mrs. Douglas was dressed in a gray tailor-made suit and wore a close-fitting black hat. On her arm she carried a purple rsin slicker. Magistrate Macreary contended that he would not set a precedent by releasing women on bail w... attempt to kill. Upon the advice of the court, Attorney Girenthal later appealed to the Supreme Court for the release of his client on bail. On a promise made by the physician to marry her, Mrs. Douglas and intimate relation with the physician, her attorney declared, "Now that she is pregnant, he has tried to jilt her," he exclaimed to the court. The police officer said that Mrs. Douglas told him that she went to her alleged sweetheart's home with the intent of shooting him and then killing herself. The officer said that she shapped the gun, but it failed to fire. JUST OPENED 10 West 115th Street Six rooms; steam heat, hot water, bath and electric light. All for rent and $60 per month.

Phone 3555 Harlem Rhinelander Verdict Meets Harlem's Approval By Mark Whitmark LIKE thousands and thousands of people throughout the length and breadth of the United States, Harlem kept up with the Joneses by minutely following the Rhineland annulment suit. Day after day throughout the four weeks of the sensational trial, editions of daily newspapers carrying latest developments were bought up as fast as they appeared. And, now that it is over, how is Harlem reacting to the verdict? The verdict, which nearly everyone knew would favor Alice if the case were decided on its merits and the evidence, stunned Harlem because of its liberality. Optimistic spectators of the drama looked for a verdict for the defendant, but few believed that a jury of white men would go all the way. The seven queries put to the jury left absolutely no room for doubt as to how they stood: She concealed nothing prior to the marriage from her intended husband. Kip would have married her anyway, colored blood and all. It would have seemed like rubbing it in to answer the last question as to whether Alice and Kip co-habited after he had full knowledge of her color, so the jury did not answer it. Soon after the verdict was announced, inquiring reporters from all the daily newspapers flocked to Harlem to find out what it thought of the verdict, and found it unanimously in favor of Mrs. Rhinlander. A few exceptions, however, were found, and reporters, always eager for something new, turned all the exceptions into their respective offices and they were printed. There were but few. So eager were they for exceptions, that a reporter for the Daily News interviewed Miss Kathryn Wise, an employee of The Amsterdam News, and deliberately, so it seems, turned her reply around, so as to make her seem to say something she did not say. As a result of this misstatement indignant people kept The Amsterdam News 'phone and the girl's residence 'phone busy most of Sunday morning denouncing her for the attitude she took. If she made the remarks attributed to her she should have been denounced, but she didn't make them — at least if the word of the four, or five people who heard her replies is worth anything. The incident so upset the poor girl that she is now ill. This little sidelight is mentioned because it portrays the sentiment prevalent in Harlem as to the outcome of the Rhinelander case. Harlem was for Alice without caring anything personally for Alice. It was for Alice because she stood as a symbol to Negro womanhood throughout the world. The price she paid was a high one, but the writer is tempted to record that the victory was worth it. Few women of any race would have paid so dear a price. Harlem's heart went out to Mrs. George Jones, Alice's mother, when the veil was torn from her girlhood discretion. Mrs. Jones and the other members of the family exhibited a unity rarely found in modern family life. If Lee Parsons Davis, Alice's trial attorney, ran for President of the United States, he could count on well nigh all the colored votes cast, and if the Republicans want to alienate the Nero vote, it sometimes appears, all they have to do is to nominate ex-Judge Isaac N. Mills, Rhinelander's lawyer. Mills' appeal to race prejudice could not have been more stinging if it had come from the lips of the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. And yet, Mills may not have believed a word of what he was saying. He has lived fifty years in Westchester County and still doesn't know his countrymen. Crackers don't thrive in Westchester air. The cold breezes don't appeal to men accustomed to chew tobacco and run their mouths around the country store. There are but two classes of citizens in Westchester—those who work all the time and those who work when they want to or who have retired as a result of their own labors or the labors of their parents. Most of them think for themselves—rich and poor alike. Wherever men think Justice has a fair chance. Mills' appeal would have gone down as a masterpiece in Georgia, but not so in Westchester. Alice left Sunday night for a well-earned rest, but a few hours before she departed a lunatic who believed he was Kip, appeared on the scene, saying that he was not actually a criminal but was in safe in a padded cell. No one knows where Kip is, except possibly his attorney of record, Leon R. Jacobs. THE NEW YORK DARROWWILL DRAW HUGE CROWD AT SWEET CASE MEETING To Tell of Future Plans for Defense in Salem Church Sunday — Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon to Give Program of Negro Spirituals Owing to the nation-wide interest in the Sweet case and the popularity of Clarence Darrow as a platform speaker, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced that the Salem M. E. Church, 129th street and Seventh avenue, would in all probability be crowded to the doors on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 13, when Mr. Darrow will talk upon the Sweet defense case, its history and plans for the future. All those intending to come are urged to present themselves at two-thirty or earlier on that afternoon if they wish seats. The meeting will be opened promptly at three o'clock J. Rosamond Johnson, arranger of the Book of American Negro Spirituals, and Taylor Gordon, the colored tenor, who made a sensation in the New York concert world, have volunteered to sing and play a program of Negro spirituals at the Darrow meeting. The coming meeting will be the first opportunity to hear Mr. Darrow in New York since before the Scopes evolution trial in Tennessee in which Mr. Darrow was the chief counsel. Mr. Darrow will present a detailed account not only of the events of Detroit leading up to the riot in which 11 colored people defended Dr. Ossian H. Sweet's home from a mob, but will discuss the entire issue of segregation, which is now hold to be the major issue confronting colored citizens of the United States. Mr. Darrow has on a number of occasions, especially in his address to the jury in the Sweet case, declared himself unequivocally for equality of treatment for colored Americans. Walter White, assistant secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., who attended all the sessions of the trial in Detroit and worked with Messrs. Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hays, will tell the story of an observer of the legal battle, which Mr. Darrow has declared is one of the most thrilling in which he has ever been a participant. Fraternal orders and other organizations have been invited by the N. A. A. C. P. to attend the meeting in a body.

Is it worth $5,000 per year? As a result of a spectacular raid conducted by Boulin's National Detective Agency, 110 East 125th street, at 11:45 P. M., December 4, 1925, at 214 West 130th street, Mr. John Holden, an expressman of 48 West 130th street, has started suit in the Supreme Court for absolute divorce, asking to be awarded this amount for his wife's affections. There was considerable excitement at the 130th street address when the raiding party mysteriously entered the premises, breaking down the door of the room on the top floor, where Mr. Holden's wife was found asleep with Mr. Archie Hargraves, a presser, according to the detectives. It is further stated that Charlie Page, the landlord of the-premises, Killed Friend, He S to Return $500 Slayer Says He Was Knocked Down Three Times Before He Fired Fatal Shots — to Plead Self-Defense Because his friend, Arthur Page, age 45, of 308 West 15th street, failed to get him a job after he had paid him $500 for it. George Knowles, 27, 115 West 129th street, is alleged to have shot and killed him Friday night. Knowles was held without bail for the Homicide Court by Magistrate Andrew Macery in the Washington Heights Court Saturday morning. Knowles testified that he killed Page in self-defense. He said that when he refused to leave Page house until his $500 had been returned to him. Page knocked him down three times in succession. Arising the third time, he declared he drew a 38-calibre German automatic and fired five times, all of the bullets taking effect. One bullet entered the right side of the head, one in each eye, and two in the chest. Page died almost instantly, according to Dr. Lorge of Columbus Hospital, who was summoned. After a chase of six blocks along Eighth avenue, Knowles was captured by policemen from the 135th street police station. Fannie C. Jarvis, Old Resident, Dead Mrs. Fannie C. Jarvis, 66 years old, a well-known caterer, who lived at 2299 Seventh avenue, died Saturday night. She had been confined to her bed for about eight weeks. Following a simple funeral service at her home Tuesday afternoon, she was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery, the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector of St. Philip's P. E. Church, officiating. Mrs. Jarvis came to New York over fifty years ago from Stamford, Conn. She is survived by a son, Harry; daughter, Miss Lottie, and a grandson, John Henry. DETECTIVES DIVORCES, INVESTIGATIONS, Etc.

YOUTHFUL BANDIT SHOOTS STOREKEEPER A youthful robber shot and probably fatally wounded Isadore Hartman, white, a butcher, employed by Sterner Bros., at 2574 Eighth avenue, Monday night, when the bandit mistook a move by Hartman as an indication that he was about to resist the hold-up. The gunman, who appeared to be about 19 years old, ran from the store after a bullet had struck Hartman in the body and disappeared. Hartman followed him to the sidewalk and collapsed. He was removed to Harlem Hospital in the automobile of Peter Jalliano of 1931 Washington avenue, the Bronx, who was passing at the time. Before the victim became unconscious he told detectives that he was alone in the store at 6 o'clock when the man entered. The robber whipped his pistol from a coat pocket with the demand: "Stand aside from that cash register and throw up your hands." Hartman said he hesitated a few seconds and then compiled, but the robber, who appeared to be nervous, took aim and fired. Policeman Shoots Woman in Raid Refused to Open Door of 130th Street House Had No Warrant During a raid upon premises at 113 West 130th street by officers of the Special Service Squad Saturday night, Mrs. Mary Lee, 40, 113 West 130th street, said to be in charge of the house, was shot by one of the policemen. The raid followed a tip from a police "stool pigeon" that the house was used for prostitution. It is rumored that the police went to the house without a warrant and, when Mrs. Lee refused to open the door, the officer opened fire. The bullet lodged in the woman's stomach and she is in a critical condition in the Harlem Hospital. She is in the prison ward. Following a report of the shooting, District Attorney Banton ordered an investigation and grilled the officers who took part in the raid. Monday morning, it was learned from police officials. WHITE MEN WHO KILLED BRONX MAN NOT PUT ON TRIAL District Attorney Say Witnesses Fear to Take Stand Against Six Men Held for Brutal Murder of Eugene Fowler Last April Fearing that the clover will be jeopardized if they take the witness stand, men who saw a mob of Italians beat Eugene Fowler to death with clubs and stones last April 26 have refused to testify against the six members of the mob who are under indictment for the murder and who will be tried in the Bronx County Court next month. At least, this is the statement of Assistant District Attorney Henderson who is in charge of the case Only one man out of the dozen or more who saw the murder was brave enough to defy the threat that have been made, and promised to testify against the accused man the District Attorney claims. The other men have been coaxed and threatened, but they have refused absolutely to be witnesses. Neither their race pride or their love for justice as good citizens has had any effect upon them, Mr. Henderson said. Fowler, who was a huckster lived with his family at 484 College avenue, The Bronx. While on hi way to his livery stable to feed his horse, jealous competitors set up him and beat him with baseball bats, clubs and huge stones, killing him instantly. The story of the cruel murder was told by the dead man's son Eugene, Jr., who was with his father at the time he was murdered Mrs. Alice Fowler, the wife, who now lives at 65 West 128th street is skeptical as to whether her husband's murderers will ever be punished and appealed to the National Association for Advancement of Colored People to take a hand in the case. There seems little room to doubt that Fowler was killed in cold blood. He worked hard, saved his earnings and owned the house in which he lived at the time he was killed. People who know him say that he always minded his own business. Criticism of the way the case has been handled has been directed at the prosecuting authorities in The Bronx. DR.

WOMAN REPORTED LYNCHED FOUND Alleged Mob Victim Found Alive and Well --- Sensational Story of Louisiana Lynching Without Foundation KLANTA, Ga., Dec. 7. Careful Gliry by the Interracial Commis- sion into the alleged burning of F. Cora McKnight by a mob near Vinnsbore, La., which was widely reported in the press, reveals the fact that Mrs. McKnight is alive and well; that the story of a lynch- ing is without foundation, and that the partly burned body discovered in the Tensas swamps is believed to be that of a white woman mur- dered elsewhere and brought to the swamps for concealment. When the body was first discovered, Mrs. McKnight and her husband were missing, and the suspicion in Winnisboro was that she had been murdered and burned, perhaps by her husband. This was later disproved, however, when both were found at Cotton Valley, Louisiana, where McKnight was placed under arrest on a charge of bootlegging. Further investigation has led to the belief that the victim was a white woman and efforts are being made to ferret out the mystery of her murder. Kill Man They Nearly Ran Down tnoxville White and Colored Citizens Stirred by Unwarranted Slaying KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 1, 2013 Joseph Buckner, unoffending and highly respected colored man Who resides on the Dry Gap Lake Car Inskip, was walking home Chim his day's toll last Monday, a Wed automobile, driven by Charlie Oakland, white, speed along the road apparently was intent driven so close to Buckner that he had to jump down an imbankment to prevent being truck. Buckner yelled at the driver of the car, "Man, what do you mean?" wherenon the car in which Carl Morgan and two white women were riding was suddenly stopped and the two men rushed back to where the colored man was pulling himself up the bank and deliberately plunged a knife blade into his neck, severing his jugular vein. Buckner was rushed to the hospital and died shortly after. Morgan and Kirkland sped away in the car that had been rented from the Rent-A-Ford company and they were traced there and placed under arrest by officers from Sheriff Anderson's office. They are held in the Knox County Jail without bail and the Grand Jury has returned true bills against them on the charge of murder. The citizens in the community where Buckner lived, including many prominent white people, tell of his good character and expressed real indignation over the unwarranted and brutal slaying of the man. While the attorney-general and his assistant are expected to do their duty in prosecuting the case when it is called, it will be necessary to have additional counsel to handle certain details in the way of securing witnesses and the like, and with such in view, one of the leading white citizens of the community where Buckner lived has solicited several dollars to be used in employing a lawyer to assist in the prosecution of the case. STOLE SWEETS AND ATTACKED DRIVER Two youths were held in 2,500 ball each for a further hearing by Magistrate James M.

Cincinnati has invited Col. Clarence C. Sherrill, Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds here, to take the post of City Manager and, remembering his discriminatory tactics, Cincinnati voters are being urged to oppose him.

P. official, as follows: "I am sure you know the attache of this distinguished North Carolinaian, for his assaults upon the civil rights of the Negro have once constant ever since he has been here. I enclose a copy of one of my many protests to him, which was published in the Washington Daily American of June 22 last. It was only this Summer that under the leadership of Prof. W. D. Nixon of the Dunbar High School, who had fought his discrimination in bathing beaches for years, that we won a complete victory over him, and forced him to dismantle the white beach, as he had hurriedly dismantled the colored one; for the plain mandate of Congress ordered both beaches destroyed. "Beware, for you know the tireless industry of the South in sending their sons North to destroy what little remains of wholesome democratic sentiment there. These Southern propagandists are on the news and editorial staffs of many Northern newspapers, in strategic positions in the moving picture, theatre, and radio industry, and in the chairs of our college, poisoning the public opinion of your section. Only this week one of my pupils, now attending a Massachusetts college, tells me of a lecture of one of her professors to her class, in which he said that we were nearest the age of any human group, that we were vastly inferior to whites, and always would be. "You have a ballot, that tremendous power that oll. Sherrell's section has roiled us of and I am sure you will use it to prevent your further handicap by importing to the headship of your city, one of this nation's most aggressive and effective crusaders for segregation." PEDDLERS URGED TO STAY OUT OF HARLEM The Harlem Board of Trade, which is waging a campaign against street peddlers in Harlem, asked Magistrate James M. Barrett of the Washington Heights Court Monday to take a hand in the work. When four peddlers were arraigned in the court on a charge of peddling on restricted streets, Magistrate Barrett said: "You peddlers will have to stay out of Harlem. You are a nuisance to the community. If you are thought before me again I am going to deal with you severely." He then suspended their sentences.

Discrimination Drives Man Crazy With Double-Edged Axe He Attempts to Smash Up Jim Crow Stand KANSAS CITY. Dec. 7.—A lone crusader, probably insane, armed with a double-edged axe, bent upon avenging single-handed the wrongs and insults heaped upon his race, was shot to death last Friday night in a barbecue stand at 1510 Troost avenue.

Friday night, about 9 p.m., one hour before he was killed, Hinkle sat for a picture at Woodard's Studio, 1811 Vine street, telling Dawey Woodard to send the picture and a note to The Call the next day. He posed for the picture with his picture. Hinkle told the Woodland brothers he was going to Excelor Springs to chop down the tree from which a Negro was hanged last August. At 10 p. m. he is said by the proprietor of the barbeque to have entered with the remark, "Well, here I am again." As he began swinging his use, the proprietor fired and Hinkle tell, "Treated Too Mean." Hinkle's note for The Call scrawled on parts of two sheets of paper, told of his purpose to do what he could to make up for the "mean treatment" the rude was getting. The note read: "Kansas City Call": I think it is time the Negro race was doing something to stop the awful mean treatment we get everywhere we go. We are tested mean as doom and no one does anything to help us. in the war we fought, like other people, but now we can even buy a sandwich at a grasse joint. I am going to do what I can. Nobody can walk on me, I am going to cut down the tree in Excelstar. Springs where they lynch that colored man. My girl will come back all right and maybe not. Anyway, they cannot treat me mean. I am tired of getting kicks like a dog." The note was unsigni d.—Ex change.

He is Garland Anderson, formerly bellhop in a San Francisco hotel, but now a dramatist, author of "Appearances," which had a three-weeks' run at the Frolic Theatre, Manhattan, and was withdrawn for lack of support, although the drama had won the almost unanimous approval of the critics. Mr. Anderson, who is on record as the first Negro to have a play produced on Broadway, is now engaged in the effort to raise an endowment fund for the purpose of again presenting it in a theatre in Manhattan. He believes he has a play that will win the theatricalgoers of the world's biggest monopolies if it is only accorded a fair opportunity. The success of "Abie's Irish Rose" is cited as an example of what can be done if sufficient will-power is put behind the effort. An endowment fund of $30,000 will carry the play along for six weeks, at least, if not longer, and by that time, it is the hope of Mr. Anderson and his advisors, the play will have gained enough momentum to carry itself into a pronounced financial and artistic success. Mr. Anderson is his own prophet. Although he is receiving the advice and support of many influential persons, he is preaching his own faith in his play. He has sent a letter to every dramatic editor in which the merits of his play and the worthiness of his cause are emphasized. When the play was about to fail at the end of its second week on Broadway, H. W. McQuinn and Jack Hodgson, both members of the white page in Dallas, Tex., advanced $2,500 to keep the stage up and that Mr. Anderson comments, "thus implies that the play contains nothing which would shock the sensibilities of the most extreme Southerner." Now let Mr. Anderson speak further for himself: "Singlehanded. I am now raising a fund with which to reopen. I pause here to publicly thank Mr. David Belasco (who had previously read and endorsed my play) for heading my subscription list with $1,000, which net in itself speaks volumes for my work. I want the readers of your paper to know the truth about my play and its purpose. To begin with, I am not seeking to be recognized as a wonderful playwright; rather am I thinking to serve humanity through the fun of my play, for to me 'Appearance' but, the outward expression of an art burning desire to serve humanity. In the Bible we read that 'with all things are possible.' On reading this, along with other books setting forth that 'a man can make of himself anything he believes he can,' and being filled with a keen desire to serve, I reasoned as follows: "If I (just a black bellhop, with only four years' schooling) can manage to write a play sufficiently interesting and entertaining to hold an audience for two hours, the very production of this play would automatically prove the truth of the above statements and, at the same time, prove to my audiences that each and every one of them can do much bigger things in life. I ask, can you conceive of any father or mother who would not want their child to see a play in which a black, uneducated bellhop, and himself succeeded in having produced. In order to inspire the child to realize that he must greater opportunities, can do greater things? Can you imagine anyone going away after seeing such a play without, being encouraged and refreshed for accomplishment? "My purpose in life is Service, and I know that thousands of your readers will assist one in an honest effort to serve humanity. For this reason I am making a public appeal, not just for subscriptions alone, but will gladly give my note to those who will lend of their finances to this worthy cause. The East River National Bank, 1451 Broadway, Manhattan, has kindly consented to act as custodian of the fund, and all checks can be mailed direct to this bank, to be deposited in the name of 'Appearances Fund.' "From my humble position I appeal to you in your position to assist me in my one big purpose in life by the publication of this letter. I have been a servant all my life, and my ambition is to continue as a servant to the public through the medium of my play, 'Appearances.' Get into the Movies Unusual opportunity for colored talent.

Negro Playwright Has Faith in 'Appearances' They're "Moochin' Along" at the Lafayette Theatre All This Week They're "Moochin' Along" at the Lafayette Theatre All This Week And An Entertaining Vehicle With Possibilities and Devoid of Objectionable Features Is the Result At the Lafayette Theatre on Monday night a little offering by Messrs, Jesse Shipp and Cecil Mack, with music by Jimmie Johnson, opened to a large house, and, judging from the response of those out to see the new production, there's every reason to believe it will enjoy a successful week before leaving for Washington, where it is slated to go next week. Our trip to the Lafayette was the first in many months. With Messrs. Shipp, McPherson and Johnson being responsible for the show, it is natural that we should succumb to that irresistible "drag" which these old-timers (meaning Shipp and McPherson) have always had for us. From comments which have been rife in this part of the city for the past month or so, we gladly admit that one of the outstanding features which will be appreciated by those seeking wholesome and enjoyable entertainment is the throwing to the discard of every sombance of smut and an entire absence of any vulgar display of near-nudity, which some people seem to think MUST be a part of present day offerings to draw capacity houses. The public favor on the part of the producers is based on giving an evening's entertainment which comes from the mind of men who have been taught a high appreciation of the art of the theatre, and our only regret is that the show, like most things of its kind, was rushed into public view without that preparation which would add to its popularity. In spite of the obstacles which will be recognized by many, "Moonchin' Along" succeeded in giving full entertainment to a Monday night audience, which has been for ages one of the most exacting. With an orchestra faithfully interpreting the music written by the clever young musician Johnson, paring here and there, and Jesse Shipp enjoying an opportunity to put into effect the things he had planned, but which circumstances prevented on a hasty opening, this show will be among the most entertaining in recent days and with a better foundation for the claim on public fancy than its predecessors coming into the same house within the past few months. The haste in preparing this article and lack of space prevent a full review of the idea as disclosed by what we witnessed after arriving at the theatre late after insistent demands upon our services a few hours before going to press, but not late enough to prevent us from appreciating the possibilities of the show and the confidence we have in those responsible for it. A nifty chorus, splendid young dancing boys, good music, cool comedy well carried by Slim Henderson and a touch of the dramatic all will conspire to make the show a success even during its run at the Lafayette. Appearing in the cast are many favorites whose name will contribute their share in helping to draw many friends to the theatre who will recall the fine work done by them in the past. Among the bets Jimmie Marshall Alonzo Fenderson, Richard N. Neggs, Ames, Elkar Connell, Arthur Galues, Mattie Harris, Ada Gulgesue, Inez Dennis, Izzy Ringold, Madge Hall and Ollie Burgoyne. Fascinating and Devastating Expose of 'Frisco's Underworld Being Shown at the Franklin Theatre This Week in "On Thin Ice" "On Thin Ice," the new attraction at the Franklin Theatre this week, is a picture that cannot fall to appeal to all types of motion picture audiences, for the simple reason that it contains all the fundamental elements of mystery, adventure, romance, action and clean fun. The picture never lags for a moment and morits the rousing reception it received from the audience for its rapid-fire spontaneity. The story in brief tells of the mysterious disappearance of a bagful of bank bonds, a band of criminals who make every attempt to recover the loot, and an adorable little miss wring whom circumstantial evidence forms a well-nigh impassable barrier. Edith Roberts proved a delight in her portrayal of the heroine, feel that they were part and parcel of the devastating chain of events that enmeshed her in crime. Tom Moore's unfailing appeal was even stronger than usual, and his daring, yet ingratiating behavior was very amusing. William Russell, Theodore Von Eliz, Gertrude Robinson and Wilfred North do excellent work as the supporting cast, while the direction of the picture adds another laurel to the already famous name of Mal St. Clar. "On Thin Ice," the latest Warner Bros. Classic of the Screen, is a picture well worth seeing for all who like the silver sheet. Vivid Drama at the New Douglas Theatre "Morals for Men" is the feature picture to be shown at the New Douglas Theatre Sunday and Monday, December 13-14. The start was suggested by "The Love S serum" by Gouverneur Morris, Conway Tearle and Agnes Ayres are featured. It tells in a very dramatic manner the trials of a young woman who tries to cultivate her past by becoming the wife of a man who thinks lightly of his marriage vows. When he discovers that his wife has had a past he leaves her, unable to stand the stigma he believes is attached to his wife. The man who was the mate of the woman rises above his former life, becomes the husband of a sweet girl, who cares not a lot what her husband's past has been, so long as he is all she cares for him to be at the present time. Both Mr. Tearle and Miss Ayres are magnificent in their respective roles, and forcibly bring to the attention of the audience the struggle that confronts those that have trod the primrose path. Conway Tearle as the man and Agnes Ayres as the woman are seen in one of the best roles of their screen careers. Miss Ayres' characterization of the woman of the slums is ably portrayed, while the acting of Tearle, first as the down-and-outer and later as the man who came back, was a polished piece of screen acting.

Produced on an elaborate scale with a cast of recognized stars, the Allan Dwan-Paramount production, "Night Life of New York," which opens at the Lincoln Theatre Thursday, is just about the most colorful and entertaining metropolitan story that has yet reached the screen. Featured in the leading roles of the production, which was adapted by Samuel Sullivan from original story, Edgar Selvyn, are Rod La Roque, Dorothy Gish, Ernest Torrence and George Hackathorne. The picture brings Torrence to the screen in the role of an unusually successful westerner who is dead set against New York City because of a series of set-backs he suffered there—in affairs of both business and the heart, Rod La Rocque, playing his son Ronald Bentley, just because he has been forbidden ever to go there, is crazy to hit the "big town." He's absolutely useless in business, and after an affair with an actress in town the father begins to think that it might be a good idea after all to let him have a taste of the white lights district and make him so sick of the place that he'll never want to go there again. So it is that we next find Ronald more or less firmly established in one of Gotham's leading hotels. His first adventure is a flirtation with the pretty telephone operator in his hotel. He takes to her immediately because of the way she kisses him back when he gets fresh over the phone. But, Bentley, Sr., had foreseen all possibilities of his son's falling for some chorus girl and has it all fixed with Carie Reed, the actress Ronald had met back home, to "frame" the boy. There's a nice little check in it for her. Subsequent events bring it about that young Bentley is involved in a jewel theft. The father thinks it's all part of his little plot against the boy but hot-footts it to town when he's informed differently. Neg (Dorothy Gish), the telephone operator, tells him the whole story after she has gotten a confession out of her younger brother. "He did it in order to get money enough to go west to recover his health," she says. The boy is promised clemency if he will hand over his jewels, but his accomplice comes in and, thinking the other man is trying to double-cross him, he kills him. Ronald is released and the thief arrested. Popular Sunday Concerts at Renaissance Casino Starting Sunday, December 13, promptly at 1 p. m., the Renaissance Concert Orchestra will inaugurate the first popular Sunday Concert at the Renaissance Casino, with E. Gilbert Anderson, conductor. Some of the most talented race musicians in Greater New York have been secured for the orchestra. They have undergone considerable training under Pref.

Following Sunday afternoon's first popular concert, this will be a regular Sunday afternoon feature at the enlistment center during the prompty at 1 p. m.

Further announcement regarding this matter will be made later. The board authorized the issuance of formal statement by Dr. D. Davis chairman of the board, reviewing the football season at Howard during the past year. The statement furnished by Dr. Davis follows: Davis follows: "It is interesting at this time to review the record of Howard football teams as recorded by Captain L. J. Masoos director of the Department of Physical Education, Howard University. Captain Watson had charge of the coaching at Howard during the seasons 1925 and 1925, and proved each season Howard had an unbeatable defense and a steady, effective offense. Eight games were played during each of the seasons he coached, as follows: Downs Score Howard 15 27 Morgan College 5 0 Howard 14 21 Livingstone 3 0 Howard 7 0 J. C. Smith 5 0 Howard 7 0 West Virginia 2 0 Howard 18 70 N. C. State Col. 0 0 Howard 7 6 Wilberforce 4 0 Howard 8 7 Atlanta University 0 0 Howard 5 0 Lincoln University 7 0 Totals: Howard 81 140 Opponents 26 0 Average: Howard 101% 171% Opponents 31% 0 "These records were made against the most formidable rivals in the country, and not against nondescript teams. A review of the records of our opponents for the seasons mentioned will show that they were going at top form. "A remarkable feature of this accomplishment is that in each season Coach Watson was forced to take a group of men whose ability he did not know and mould it into a machine to play some of the at teams in the country, but only were they top notch teams, but in almost every season they were veteran with the same coaching system directing them for a college generation or more. "A short-while ago Yost, the famous Michigan coach, took occasion to praise his 1925 team. He led it the best team he had ever leached. (He has coached for more than 60 years.) He stressed the fact that his team showed its greatest ability holding a conference team, three first downs. This statement was given wide publicity and eradicated as a great accomplishment. How many have noted Watterson's record at Howard? His 1925 138-13 am held N. C. State College to a 10-0 score and 18 to 0 first downs, and the strong Atlanta University team to a 7-0 score and 8 to 0 first runs. Yost lost several games, and had not lost a game in his managers of coaching at Howard. He is conceded to be one of closest coaches in the count. Praises are sung every time he is a much younger RENAISSANCE TEAM STILL GOING BIG Howard University Closes Basketball Season man, who does his work in a quiet, unassuming manner. He has an exceptionally good record and a splendid future. "Watson during the past year has done remarkably well. We call upon Howard alumni, student body, officers and teachers to give him a hand, and a little relief from being unduly harassed. When Percy Haughton first went to Columbia from Harvard and team most of its games. Did Columbia heckle him? They came out in a resolution reaffirming their confidence in him and his ability to produce a winner the next year, and he did. Watson's first season has been a howling success. We hope for an even greater success in 1928." Lee Elected Captain of Hampton Football Team for 1926 Championship Season Is Closed With Spirited Banquet — Six Letter Men Lost By THOMAS W. YOUNG HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 7.—The championship of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association goes to the Seasiders of Hampton Institute for the season of 1925, after one of the most closely contested and indeterminate seasons in the annals of football in the Association. Only by defeating Union on Thanksgiving was Hampton eligible to be proclaimed the power that she is, and had the Seasiders tasted of defeat on that day Virginia Seminary would at this writing be rejoicing in regal bliss. Squad Entertained. The Frogs, a highly esteemed club of this vicinity, of which Mr. Dun A. Davis is president, tendered the entire squad and staff an appetizing dinner at the school restaurant on Monday evening following Thanksgiving Day. It is joyful occasion to announce remarks included by the encouraging remarks of event visitors and members. The spirit which had guided the team to this honor was lauded by the speakers, and further and greater success was assured if it were present in the future. Among those to speak were Major Allen Washington, Dr. James E. Gregg, Dr. Thomas Turner, Dr. Harry P. Howe, Coaches Gideon E. Smith and C. H. Williams, Captain Oscar A. Pindle, and Captain-elect William E. Lee. Hampton's versatile and persistent tackle for two years, Wm. E. Lee, sometimes known as "Wild Man," was elected to pilot the Seasiders in 1926. Lee is the most outstanding player of the Blue and White Squad and deserves the honor. Coach Williams remarked, "No selection for captain could have pleased me more." "Wild Man" in all of his performances has proved himself worthy of a berth on anybody's mythical eleven, and stands out as a fine example for his followers. Six Letter Men Lost. Of the twenty players to receive the lure this season, fourteen are expected to report next year for the team. Those not expected are Captain Oscar A. Pindle, Roanoke, Va.; James T. Alexander, Barton, Va.; George W. Davis, Brookneal, Va.; Bertrand C. Jacobs, Pittfield, Mass.; Carlie P. Johnson, Shelbyville, Ky.; and Gainus G. Maunds, Trio, S. Q. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 9, 1925 About Things Theatrical Up there in White Plains they would have crucified that little colored girl upon the cross of race prejudice, but when Justice laid down her scales and removed the covering from her eyes and scanned those letters from a sion of one of the oldest families, she hastily returned to her pedestal. And after she had resumed the pose for which she has been noted for ages, she carefully took up the scales and balanced them at the correct angle and now Alice can. If she so whis, dribbled down one coin of the realm in the movies, the god of money to which all men make their prayer would not debar her een though she belongs to that race which Judge Mills would have the world believe is the lowest in the scheme of humanity. Which directs our attention to Mr. Paul Clifton, of the New York World, who has been writing a series of "night articles" in that paper under the head of "Manhattan Nights," Mr. Clifton, as we judge from Sunday's article from his pen on "Jazz Mad Harlem, Where You Make Your Own Fun," shows that he is not above committing the sin of omission or else he happened to take in this section of the city at a time when those things which white men fool themselves into believing cannot exist are taking place. Before going deeper into Mr. Clifton's attitude, let us digress for a moment and return to White Plains. Note that the jury, while blatantly telling the world they did not arrive at their decision until all trace of prejudice had been driven from the room, consoled themselves with admitting that Mrs. Rhinelander was a peg higher than Negro. Negro was in the eye of the put, "she is so white that we placed her in the category of colored, which you know, is not exactly Negro." Oh, they pillory you while even grudgingly giving you justice. Now note how Mr. Clifton fell from his horse while relating some of the doings at one of the night clubs in Harlem. He says at this place there seemed to have been a reunion of the old Negroes, in making postgraduate work in medicine, law and chemistry at Columbia, and to be on the safe side for the polished dart with which he is about to spear us in the back, he comes pretty near qualifying his statement by those familiar words behind which so many of us hide when it suits our purpose: THEY SAY. One of the youngsters, continues Mr. Clifton, tries to explain. "I have my pleasures on Saturday night; I sleep on Sunday and I go to work bright and early Monday morning. I comes here once a week—but my wife does not dance with anyone but me. Now, girls and boys, there you have a man supposed to have been graduated from Harvard University, one of the best institutions on learning. In all this wide world, once you are supposed to be taking a postgraduate course at another institution of learning, the fame of which has been for ages known in the four corners of the earth. Mr. Clifton would have his readers believe that a man who has spent some time at Harvard University gets off that halderdash in that underground hole where he sought subjects at whom he could poke fun and pillory for the satisfaction of unthinking readers. Either Mr. Clifton was too busy gazing on the "yaller gals" to note some of the things which we suspect he would never relay to his readers or he was fortunate enough to enter the place on an "off night." What Mr. Clifton needs is somebody who can sit at his elbow when viewing "the passing show" for the edification of his readers—somebody who would keep Paul's attention centered on the vile dancing of some of those buxom Jaweses from the East Side and their gunnery companions out for a lark. In many of these cabarets that a Munt Jemima of Broadway cabarets are not for them. In these places they do not "belong" and are passe, hence they journey to Harlem where they can enjoy that rare feeling of that superiority of which they hear their betters speak. And that's that. So Judge Mills thinks that his side of the fence would rather be dead than enfolded in the arms of some "high yaller" with vampire ideas, oh? Well. Judge, the first time you can take a night off we will show you a number of white men who would battle to death if you tried to wrench them from their colored darlings. We'll take you down Seventh avenue and show you, between 131st and 132nd streets, one white man who would rather be dead than away from one of our colored damals. This is the third one with whom he has made a hit and what's more. Judge, we promise you we would not even ask you to enter a certain theatre so that we could point him out for you. We'll show him to you on the Aveno Ariquette. Then, Judge, we have some of the most beautiful natural blondes, would be blondes, near blondes, brunettes and olive-skinned members of the "superior race" of the female sex who knows the dark places of darker Harlem like a book. Some of them report regularly, while many journey here once a week. Hey, hey, some of them live right here and are PASSING FOR COLORED. Judge, there's so much of what you don't know going on you ought to give up the law and deceive the remaining years of your allotted space on earth to go fishing before making a statement and aggrandizing that would never hold the light of day and investigation are turned upon them. Don't you believe that all of them would rather be dead. There are thousands of your own white folks who regret with thousands of us that damnable color line and who would tomorrow "come over" if the conditions did not prevent. We think we speak with the voice of authority when we look back over a period covering the last quarter of a century. As a youngster we explored this great city from the Battery to the Harlem River. With the curiosity of youth we have explored the famous Bowery in the early days, and we want to tell you, boys and girls of today the color line is more strongly drawn in these days then at any other time in the history of this great city. And apparently more so since so many black boys went "over there" and fought for that mythical thing which we hear fools refer to as "Democracy." Down there in Thompson street, Cornell street, Minetta Lane and many of those other lanes hard by the old Washington Market, we used to explore after dark, the world of the "Greenwich Village" which contributed a great deal to the mixing of the races. Many of the present day believe it is something new to see so many of our people with the "Greenwich Village complex" hiking down to the village to mix with the long-haired gentry and dance with the females dangerously near to wearing masculine attire. So you ought to travel with us from the old hangout of the once famous "Bob" Surgeons up to Moran's, on 27th street. Coming on up you are soon into "Hell's Kitchen," where the late Baron Wilkins, Banks and many others held forth in the early days. Those were the good old days. "I'm here on 3rd street came Williams and Walker, as the fashion plates, while Marshall's was the headquarters for the old business. "I'm here on 3rd Street," he said, "and the place is the most interesting of the white race, famed in their day. Step up into the Sixties and at 61st street turn to the left with us and journey into San Juan Hill. That section, like the others, is somewhat changed from the old days and today it enjoys an existence under the more high sounding title of Columbus Hill. Phew. We remember the time when the colored brother could not be seen on 11th avenue, as the Irish ran wild there every time the sun was down. And the old business of it life's little drama was being acted out of those with tendencies to "mix" were seeping through into the dark tenements of the Sixties. The next jump was a mighty long one, as the reader must travel in Imagination all the way over to the East Side and up Third avenue to the Nineties. Here, too, one met the process of the mixing of colors. No, no, Honour, the lightening of the race in the North did not change the color. And then it turned around to some extent, and today White men are asking many colored boys and girls to hate their mothers' people. And just think what a small place this world is after all is said and done. The dramatic production of the Rhinelander case was first laid in the West Indies, then Europe and the thrilling climax here in those United States. We now sell upon our good old friend Frank Wilson, of Columbus. Let us look at the new way we are going to draw the play. This is which we call "I'm frowy here in Harlem before the coming of the descent to the display of the nude for inducing our people to enter certain theatres. To true, Moralde, "is true that; "Mental muscle test. Increaseeth While with noble thoughts they team; But mental muscle fast decreaseth If unreal as a dream." "You are about to receive a letter" writes Miguel, "from one of the leading lights of the theatrical firmament." That's nothing, my friend, but we do ask that if this letter of which you speak is sent to us, it will be written by the party you have in mind, and not by some other hand. FOR THE PARTY OF THE FIRST PART. English tourists year ago, no matter what part of the world they happened to be, threatened, due to the London Times, when they became pewed; and made a broken brother, thus threatened, to write to the Amsterdam News when these columns are not conducted to their taste, then secure somebody else to do their letter Sensational Contests by Renaissance 5 Marked Their Week-End Activities Sensational Contests by Renaissance 5 Marked Their Week-End Activities Met Celtics at the Orange Armory Saturday Night and Kingston Five at Local Casino Sunday Night, and Will Face Starling Grays the Coming Week-End Before a gathering estimated at three thousand last Saturday night at the Orange, New Jersey, Armory, the world's colored champion basketball team met and came pretty near defeating the white champions of the world when "Bob" Douglas sent his Renaissance Five in to attempt to put a stop to the winning streak of Furey's famous Celtic team. writing. And in many instances they fail to sign their names. Let us take a recent missive received. The writer failed to append his monica and would have us represent a satirical billet desuit on the title handed to a theatre for use of color whose only claim to the title is a donation to the college bestowing the honor upon him. It is true that we join with the sender of the letter in laughing at this episode in what should be a screening comedy if presented on the stage of the theatre owned and ruled over by the brother we have in mind. Just think, we sometimes thrash the world to find comedy and drama to present to faithful patrons of the theatre, and all we need do is look about us and there is enough material from the lives of many of us to keep thousands entertained for a long time to come. As Chester, a former printer's devil of the New York Age, would say, "Hey, hey. Enough for this week." MUSIC AND DANCING AT THE NINTH ANNUAL RECEPTION OF Toussaint L'Ouverture Lodge No. 3790 G. U. O. OF C. F. Renaissance Casino, 138th St. and Seventh Ave. FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 11th ADMISSION 75 CENTS BEAUTIFUL HALL TO RENT Weddings, Banquets, Rehearsals, Social Affairs Meeting Rooms for Clubs and Organizations Reasonable Rates. Books Now Open. DORRENCE BROOKS HARLEM POST NO. 528, V. F. W. 234 W. 131st Street, New York City About five hundred colored fans were on hand to witness the contest and had the pleasure of seeing the kind of basketball they seldom enjoy at the smaller halls in the state of the mosquito. The score of 29 to 31 in favor of the Celtics is a good indication of the tussle our boys put up in their attempt to stop the Shamrocks. As we are pointing out in another part of today's paper, name, name and fortune are within the grasp of these colored players if they will only take advantage of the opportunity. At the Renaissance Casino the following night, the Renaissance team met and defeated another far-famed aggregation of ball tosses in a book victory from the Kingston Fire. The game was another hard one for the colored players, and, but for an Herculean effort put forth the white players would have left Harlem with the crown of the Douglas men. The first half ended 19-12 in favor of the visitors, and the followers of the local team felt uneasy, as the white boys even in this period easily proved their worth and showed it would take an unusual bunch to stem the tide on which they were riding. Be it said to the credit of our players, that for once they made it plain that only the Celtics can come here and interrupt their long string of victories, for they came from behind and finally won by the score of 40 to 36. They did not bring us this victory with a rush, for Kingston blocked the easy move and applied their plan of battle more than once. This was what made the game interesting and when the final whistle blow it found the Douglas men with another victory to the already long list piled up at the Renaissance Casino. The coming Sunday night the Starling Grays will make their annual bow to Harlem basketball fans when they again attempt to do that which no team has so far succeeded in doing, and that is, stopping the Renaissance on their home court. For a long time the Grays have entertained hopes of defeating the local players and they are bringing something new with them this season. It is said that the Grays have perfected an aerial attack never seen here in the past, and many will be anxious to see how soon new stunt in basketball will work out against them which is apparently prepared for almost anything. Andrade's music will be on top for the dancers and the night will be a big one, as the local players are now entering that stage in the season's onward march when they will have to face the Celtics and possibly the famous Loendi Five of Pittsburgh. Douglas Says He Is Ready for Loendi Team In an interview with "Bob" Douglas the other night he informed the writer that he was prepared to meet the crack Loendl team of Pittsburgh, with the famous Cumberland Posey and "Youngle" in the line-up. "Considering the calibre of the teams we have been meeting all season I see no reason why anybody should entertain any doubts of my desire to give the Pittsburgh players a chance," said Douglas. "We want that to traverse a hard road, but I think my team is ready to show the entire basketball world we are in a position to defend our hold on the world's championship." Pittsburgh will receive this bit of news with elation as the people of the "City of Smoke" are of the opinion that in their town abides the real colored world champions and will accompany the Loendi team here at least in spirit the night New York and Pittsburgh meet on the basketball court for the championship of the world. Within the next few days please be told toward making the match that will bring together the leading colored teams of the country and we hope by the next issue to be in a position to tell of the possibilities of Pittsburgh meeting Renaissance here this season.

BUT IF YOU WANT Brown and Black Bill Topliners vs. White Fighters at Commonwealth Jap Fighter Won Gruelling Bout From Filipino Last Week, While Herman Singer Played a Continuous Base on Body of Willie Makel Ever since the mantle of Matchmaker-in-Chief fell on the shoulders of Eddie McMahon of the Commonwealth Sport Club he has had the pleasure of witnessing big houses every Saturday night at his successful home of the fistic art. Truth to tell, none of us expected any less from Ed. for he has been associated with his brother Jess ever since he was knee-high to a grasshopper. Which drives us to tell a little story of the early days of the McMahons before telling our faithful fans of the good bill for the coming Saturday night. When they were about sixteen they were taking a stroll in one of Harlem's streets one day when a bully hove in sight and wanted to know by what right did the clan McMahon see fit to invade territory which before had been held covered by a certain gang. The Original Celtic Five eked out a 31 to 29 win over the Renalance quintet, colored champions, at the Orange Armory last Saturday night. Barry's shot that he dibbled the length of the Now, Jess McMahon from his early days would fight anybody if it became necessary, but Jess was always willing to temperize and try to approach a satisfactory conclusion without resorting to the manly act. The bully singled out Jess, but just as he was about to "hit him one" without waiting for an explanation. Eddie, who was much smaller than his brother, got hot and, although the bully stood a good foot and a half above him, he peaked Jess aside and was hooked up in one of the most glorious battles ever staged outside of a ring. It is said that Eddie made such a good job of the affair Jess handed him in a quarter at the end of the battle. "What's this?" asked lid, as he took the quarter. "Your money for the fight," answered Jess, and ever since that day Jess has been seeing it that anybody who fights for him gets paid. But let us tell you about what's what for Saturday night. Al Brown has been paired with Tommy Hughes, while Black Bill will battle Tommy Melito. Ah, what more is necessary? There will be another big ten but the first two should be sufficient to bring them out in large numbers. Brown will most likely meet Ernie Jarris at the new garden, provided he can make the weight, and he is now nurturing his stuff to show just what he intends to do to the little Englishman. Last Saturday night Jimmie Salamante in a return engagement with Emanuel Flores hit the Filipino with everything except the bucket and Dete Prunty's memorandum pad, but Flores took his punishment at a Joe Gruml and was always to the fore trying to get his ancient enemy, Wille Makel, as usual, lived up to his reputation as Harlem's greatest "face fighter" and, while he was trying to hit Herman Singer thereon, Singer spent the evening playing basedrum on Willie's mid-section. This earned for the white boy the fight at the end of the contest. BILLIARD NOTES Lovers of billiards who can visualize can imagine the intense feeling among the spectators when Horemans won the world's championship last week in Chicago from Luke Shaeffer with a score of 1,500 to 1,495. This match game is the closest to world's championship on record as well as for high run--493 in a block of 509 points which was made by Shaeffer in the third block. Horemans has been alming for this honor for five consecutive years. Everybody in saving his checks for the Lafayette Billiard Emporium Christmas Tree Gifts. Free to all patrons wishing them a Merry Christmas. Gifts distributed Thursday evening. Dec. 24, consisting of cash and merchandise to the value of $50. While Taylor Gordon did not get a place at the top in the musicians' tournament, it was charged up to basal luck only. He got close in every game, losing by 1. 6-6 8 more than once. Better luck next time, Old Top. Walter Thompson cannot only beat a drum, but he can manipulate the ivories some. He never missed one of Horemans' games he played at the Lafayette. Take this warning, Thompson, "Let Jones' Goat alone." Charlie Wilson can play a better game than he did. He acknowledged stage fright. He is seeing red. More comments on the tournament next week. Billiard fans will remember our prediction that Horemans would defeat Shaeffer. --- BLACK BILL AT COMMONWEALTH SATURDAY Brooklynites Ready for Crack Phila. Team The Original Celtic Five eked out a 31 to 29 win over the Renalssance quintet, colored champions, at the Orange Armory last Saturday night. Barry's shot that he dibbled the length of the court in the final minutes gave the Shamrocks the winning lead. The Celtics were in the van at half time, 21 to 19, but with five minutes to go, the Renalssance took the lead, 24 to 23. Barry was substituted for Leonard at guard and he displayed a fine game. Two fouls by Borgerman also added the winners but Riecks, opposing forward, bagged a field goal and a foul that came near to upsetting the Celtics when Stoicum of the Renalssance dropped one in the last four seconds. Players in Tie in Big Billiard Tournament Being Held Among Musicians J. Rosamond Johnson Taken Ill Shortly After Starting in the Handicap The Handicap Round Robin Straight-rail Billiard Tournament among the professional musicians now closing at the Lafayette Billiard Emporium on Seventh avenue and 132nd street has come up to the expectations and purposes that the managers set out for. First, it has brought the musicians closer together in a social way, allowing each one to get acquainted with men in their own profession. Second, it has served for better billiard playing in the mixing of a variety of players, Classes A, B, C and D. No one feels or appreciates this close touch better than the management, who maintains that billiards is a social, healthy game for recreation appealing to gentlemen. Mr. Rosamond Johnson was unfortunate in his being taken ill soon after he started with two winners and no losers, and when the tournament ended he had to forfeit eight games, only playing five out of his thirteen. Mr. Elmor who had a chance for second place, dropped down to third by having to go on the road with AJ Johnson's Serenaders. He is under a six months' contract tour with this show, "Big Boy." This brings the tournament down to Mr. Clarence Jones of the Cleff Club and the ever popular jazz band organizer and leader, Ginger, and W. E. Thompson of the Monarch Band. Jones and Ginger will play on Wednesday afternoon at 4 p. m. A consolation tournament is being arranged between the B. C and D classes in the near future. Scores for the tournament as it stands are: Won Loss Clarence Jones 10 2 Ginger 9 3 W. E. Thompson 9 4 E. Elmor 9 4 R. G. Johnson 8 5 E. Wise 8 6 B. S. Peters 8 5 S. Peters 7 6 W. E. Harper 6 7 C.

Here's a basketball team with a chance of writing its name on the scroll of fame and fortune in letters of gold, and yet the majority of players are somewhat indifferent to the opportunity, which has been constantly presented ever since the season started. This team had within its grasp at least on three occasions this season victory over teams that would have added to its popularity. But lacking true form and the true desire to stand firm by their guns when their batteries are threatened, they practically gave victory to the whites, which in time we will look upon as unfair to the large number of their own people here in Harlem who are supplying and encouraging them on their every appearance. True, boys have been winning their games at home, but you reach a certain place in there are other things we expect and things which should be forthcoming if those playing the game expect to draw the benefits of the future. To those splendid men who have made this team possible it is also unfair not to look with clear vision on what the future holds for those who should be fair to themselves and in so doing being fair to others. Nonpareil, Madison Square Whirlwind and now the Country Three of the biggest white basketball teams on the country and three teams deserving them. At Brooklyn, New York City and Orange, N. J., our toys had it within their grasp to wrest victory from these teams and on each occasion they tell down. Now let me tell some of you follows why you can't make the grade when the occasion calls for that extra sport which these white boys put forth in beating you. First, you can't play the cabarets from midnight until the early morning hours and maintain the form necessary to reach championship form, secondly, it is impossible to succumb to the blundishments of "the female of the species, and at the pleasure of the team take your work seriously. In the third phase the purpose of the team when playing out-town teams, on time, I have been, am and will. When try to be friendly to each and every one of you to whom I am speaking. Were I not friendly inclined I would only praise and allow you to get away with weaknesses that will in time spell ruin, but as you all know, that would be impossible for me. You fellows on the Hot assistance team are enjoying an opportunity today, many of you mean a great deal more to you if you would but take advantage of it and look upon the work you are doing with a little more seriousness. Why not follow the example of the splendid fellows with whom you are associated? If I am not mastaken, many of you are drawing fair salaries under conditions that would not be possible were you engaged in the kind of work you would be able to secure in another place. Manager "Bob" Douglas is one of the squarerest men the game has ever seen, and if your efforts bring greater success to the team, as true as these have been, you would be right here remarks that it is unnecessary for Douglas to tell me this. I have known him for more than twenty years. He has been employed in one place for over sixteen years and if you want to know in what high esteem he is held by his employees, call them up and ask them. The above we have had on our chest for some time and bad to get it off. Now for a little pause. That game you played against the Celtics in New Jersey once posed the possibilities... you would but listen to those that mean you well. To meet the country's best and put up the kind of basketball you did only shows what being in form can accomplish. Met 'Sha Krumer, the most talented player in the country, with a witty and well-sided little bird has just brought me the information that Mugger Douglas is negotiating with the famous Nompers to bring them to Manhattan Casino on the first of the year. Wotta game, wotta game. I understand Douglas is offering this Brooklyn team the biggest guarantee ever named out to a bunch of first time players and we are not surprised. This same bunch of white players have met and defeated the Celtics, Kingsons, and other leading teams and the manner in which the Renaissance played them on their court in Brooklyn about a month ago should mean a great but whoo and a yell among followers of the great indoor sport at the idea of this famous aggregation of players coming here to meet our boys in a return engagement. To our way of invoking the men behind the Renaissance team would have to stage such a game at Manhattan Casino to accommodate the large number of players. Victory over the goodies would further Fulton of Celtics asking the Renaissance down to Tex Rickard's New Madison Square Garden for the "game of the century." Some months back we had occasion to pull up Edgar G. Brown, formerly Aramerican tennis champion, and remind him that his writings against certain of his opponents verged on the unethical. Today we rise to applaud Blown for seeing other things touching on and apprising to the present Howard-Lincoln game missed by thousands who made the trip to Philadelphia for this big event. Brown's article in the Chicago Tribune should strike a responsive chord in the breast of our readers. We are in a time of small-town communities, the smallest lot of race pride. As we have all times tried to point out, we are going to find all existing obstacles in our way until that time when we can give a thought to the soe things of life. It is upon the shoulders of those of us living in this generation to do something that will help to make lighter the burdens of those of tomorrow. Also there are many things which we of the present time can do and from which thousands among us can derive some benefit. Yes sir. Every man and woman purchasing a ticket for that game could just as readily have contributed a dollar to the defense fund of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. A Negro trying to protect his home should enjoy the protection of his own people, for in such an act he is trying to protect the home of every black man in this country. To those among us who can afford it the setting aside of what we can give to this fund is but a duty. With no other thought than to see and be seen went thousands of our people to that footnote of the past, and we are trying to protect the momentary joys of showing off new coats and dresses are forgotten the next day, but Detroit remains and with a challenge to every Negro laying claim to decency. Let us all meet that challenge if it be with but from a dime right on up to the dollars. Varsity "H" Awarded Students WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 7.

December 25, when the Three Joynakers present the internationally famous Paul Specht and his sensational Canadian Club orchestra at New Star Casino, 107th street between Lexington and Madison avenues. Yes, Paul Specht will be with us once more and those who took advantage of the previous time he played for the well known and popular trio, the "Joynakers," know what a wonderful treat is in store for the terschloss world. This wonderfully aggregated collection of musical aces Mr. Specht has assembled for his orchestra are musicians of exceptional ability, a superior class and undoubtedly the best obtainable as a whole in the world. They have an established international reputation which is second only to that of their wonderful leader, Paul Specht. The Three Joymakers present Mr. Specht on Washington's Birthday night last year and the international orchestra director played continuously the entire night through and close on to 4 p.m. the following morning. And even then the crowd, was not entirely surfeited, despite the fact that Mr. Specht and his musicians had played fully an hour over the time contracted for. The Joymakers, as usual, will have a rival or alternating orchestra that will make Paul and his famous musicians play, at their best if they wish to win favor with the dance lovers of upper Harlem. Allie Ross, one of Harlem's own and as most popular favorite, will vie with the white musicians for the plaudits of the crowd. Mr. Ross has organized his unit for an early appearance on Broadway and that means that Allie intends to give the folks the best in the line of music. Rotary Boys Rotate at Renaissance Three hundred and fifty couples joined in with the Amsterdam Rotary Club Friday night, Dec. 4, and danced the evening away to the sweet strains of the two well-known orchestras, Vernon Andrades' and Fletcher Henderson's Visitors from many Jersey towns, upstate New York and Massachusetts were present to add merriment to the occasion. The affair was further featured by the Hawaiian dances of Princess Helena and the never exhibited exhibition Chichester by Mr. James W. Gardner, the popular Secretary of the club. During an interval the Rhinelander verdict was announced and the audience gave an ovation that was expressive of their approval. After the dance the club assembled with their special guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Egert Allen where the concluding hours of the morning were spent in consuming a delightful repast interspersed with punch and followed by dancing. Directors: Richard R.

Brooklyn Office 50 Hanson Place Phone Sterling 1826 Vanderbilt Family Memories Recalled by Will of Negro S600 Bequeathed to Grandnieces by Aged Servitor Who Settled Here at Close of Civil War Memories of one of the erstwhile leading families of Brooklyn were recalled with the admission to probate last week by Surrogate Geo. A. Wingate of the will of the late Henry Hillard, a Negro, who, at the age of ninety-six, died on October 11 last in the Kings County Hospital. Hillard's home had been at 7 Sterling street. In an avidvilt filed by Lefferts Lefferts of 130 Lincoln road it is narrated that at the conclusion of the Civil War Hillard became coachman for Charlotte Vanderbilt in Brooklyn. The Vanderbilt family in Brooklyn was a branch of the Vanderbilt family started in Manhattan by Commodore Vanderbilt. The Vanderbilt family in Brooklyn settled in Flatlands and later moved to Flatbush. For years the Vanderbilt family in the periods of the Civil War was socially prominent in Brooklyn. There were three Vanderbilt mansions in Brooklyn. The most imposing of these stood at Lincoln road and Flatbush avenue and was remarkable in the wonderful growth of trees that surrounded it. Levelled to the ground, the site is now used as an outdoor skating link in Winter and is marked with a red dot. Surfing, Summer and Fall. Two relics of the other two Vanderbilt mansions still remain on Flatbush avenue. In the neighborhood of Parkside avenue and Fountain street. Henry Hilliard was a slave in Virginia when the Civil War broke out. He ran away from his master and made his way North, where he joined the Union Army. When the war ended with Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House. Hilliard settled in Brooklyn and found employment with the Vanderbilt family. The estate of Hilliard amounted only to $600, all in personal property. This he bequeathed to his two grandneces, Mary White of 567 Quincy street and Emily Johnson of 612 Clermont avenue. Mrs. Campbell Files Suit Mrs. Alicia R. Campbell, of 21 Decatur street, has commenced an action for lhel against her husband. Dr. David Newton E. Campbell. from whom she was separated about a year ago. The summons and complaint have already been served upon the defendant, and his time to answer will expire within a short while. Meanwhile, to secure his property, the Sheriff of Kings County has attached the house which he owns at 119 Letters place, Brooklyn. Woman Is Shot in Dispute Over Money Josephine Boyle, colored, of 553 Waverly avenue, is in the Kings County Hospital in a critical condition with a bullet wound in the back, sustained, it is alleged, when she was shot by her common-law husband, Alva Larue. Larue ran from the house following the shooting, pursued by several tenants, who had been attracted to the apartment by the sound of the shot. Patrolman Mohn, of the Grand Avenue Police Station, joined in the pursuit. He shouted to Larue to halt. When he failed to stop, Mohn fired two shots in the air. Larue then submitted to arrest. A dispute over money matters is said to have preceded the shootout. Jail Misses Miss Aided by Mistake Somewhere, quite happy, is Janette Foster, colored, recently of the Raymond Street Jail, Brooklyn, where she was held in bail on a charge of vagrancy. Her happiness is not shared by Anna Foster, also colored, and Miss Bertha Hockman, 192 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, a social worker. Last night Miss Hockman brought $300 ball for the release of Anna also charged with vagrancy. The Jail clerk called out "Foster." In the semi-darkness Janette stepped forward, took Miss Hockman by the arm and walked to freedom. Miss Hockman, when she got beneath a street light, discovered her mistake and Janette fled. 30 DAYS FOR BEATING WIFE St. Clair Alleyne, 1774 Prospect place, Brooklyn, was sent to-day to the workhouse for thirty days by Magistrate Steers in the New Jersey Avenue Court in Brooklyn.

TED BUCKLES GREATLY M Matter for Publication for This Page Must Reach Us Not Later Than Monday News of Brooklyn and Long Island Jamaica Tailor Given Until December 8th to Return Coat or Face Charge William Jenkins Said That Article Is at Dry Cleaner's and He Did Not Mean to Withhold It From Owner William Jenkins, tailor, whose shop is at 162-17 South street, Jamaica, has to do some tall hustling before Dec. 8. Jenkins is faced by a dilemma. He either must get back a coat from a certain dry cleaning establishment or he must face a charge of grand larceny. To get back the coat from the dry cleaners means the securing of sufficient cash to pay off a considerable amount of money which the agency claims Jenkins owes it for coats and suits cleaned in the past. To face a charge of grand larceny means lots of unpleasant things. Just how he will meet the situation Jenkins has not yet made public. Jenkins was before Magistrate John Kochendorfer at Jamaica last week, charged with grand larceny by Lucy Staropoll of 286 South street, Jamaica. Mrs. Staropoll said that some weeks ago she left a coat with Jenkins to be cleaned and pressed and in spite of repeated demands upon him for the coat he has not produced it. Jenkins' story is that he would like to give the lady her coat. He, in fact, would be delighted to have the pleasure of giving the lady her coat and incidentally collecting the fee for the work done. But the matter is out of his hands. That is, the coat is out of his hands. It is in the hands of the dry cleaners and they refuse to give it he owes them and he would like to pay the bills, but business has been bad and he has been sick and, well, he just has not been able to get the coat. The magistrate suggested that maybe if he had a little time he might be able to get the coat. Hope sprang up in Jenkins' breast. Of course. A little time. So the magistrate gave him a little time to get the coat, until Dec. S. If Jenkins does not get the coat by then he may eventually get a little time from a judge in another court. And it will not be the same kind of time. BROS. St. NEAR LENOX AVE.

I. Correspondent.) There are times when the en- thusistic efforts put forth by those with far-seeing eyes receive an unthinking slam of discourage ment that only the strong willed can withstand, but SERVICE, em- blazoned in letters of fire must ever be the watchword when one is engaged in catering to the people through the columns of a news- paper. In reproducing a series of article on builders and brokers in Jamaica, L. I., the writer believes that this newspaper, above all others, will gain the benefit so far as patronage in the future is concerned, for in carrying to a race burdened by high rents and other things the story of a larger field for real estate investment, both the broker and builder are but incidents. While these people will for the time being draw quick benefits from the work in hand, we believe any man that has given the least bit of attention to the conditions as they exist today will recognize that we as a race will gather permanent benefits from the pioneer labors of these same builders and brokers. Truly, the entire race cannot be ungratuitful as not to recognize the part this newspaper is playing in trying to open their eyes to the possibilities of home ownership on a larger scale, and when in the larger category of SERVICE we devote space to the further progress of a race, it is only the unthinking who would at this time blemom the loss (2) of a few dollars which in a short time will be immeasurably doubled because of the ability to see what the future holds. "Service and thanksgiving are one" said the editor of this paper in his leading editorial two weeks ago, and to that we heartily subscribe. The writer believes that what success Editor William Kelley has met during the three years he has been in the editorial management of the Amsterdam News is because of that policy of SERVICE instead of the methods of bygone days when Negro newspapers proselytized for a few whole dollars, which debarred them from the larger benefits that would have accrued to them had they adhered to an honest policy of TRUE SERVICE TO THE RACE AS A WHOLE.

Y., formerly of East Rutherford, N. J., and Miss Edna Jannita them engage in all lines or business, the part this paper has played will be remembered and those for whom we are today helping to support us will benefit when we have passed on in the natural scheme of things. Had one of our newspapers entered the breach when opportunities opened for home owning right here in Brooklyn not so very long ago, many more race men and women would have taken advantage of the opportunity to secure desirable homes in a city whose proud boast for a generation has been that of "a real home town." The word SERVICE embodies more than merely writing for the immediate benefits, at least so far as the race is concerned. And it can be readily seen that true service also had its own reward. We have it on the best of authority that the owners of the Amsterdam News would at this time entertain the idea of opening another branch office in Newark, N. J., if the right man should present himself, That the idea of SERVICE as enunciated by the editor of this paper is one of vast possibilities to the young men and young women of the race is evident. If a representative should go into the State of New Jersey and throw his support to the worthy efforts of his people, another opening would be made not only to keep shirring the desires for the better things of life, but an opening whereby two or three of our own people would be given desirable positions in office work. The young man representing a newspaper going into a new community has but to look around and note the immediate needs of that community and what it would mean to the largest number of people, then getting into action and by SERVICE try to help in supplying that need and it is only a matter of time when his paper will get the undivided support of the people. There are sacrifices to be made on every hand in getting on the band-wagon of service, and none need enter thinking they are about to repose on a bed of ease. In time there will be fitting rewards for those making these sacrifices, but clock watchers, dancing shekas and shebas and would-be social leaders will continue to flit from place to place and remain the parasites they are in the way of "workers in the hive." spent the Thanksgiving holidays at home of Mrs. Frank Chase, of 120 Mozark street, East Rutherford, N.

Men and boys of Brooklyn are invited to join while the campaign is on. The Scout Master, Paul A. Stewart, has room in Troop No. 55 for ten more boys. Scouting offers unusual opportunity for boy character training and we hope that the people of Brooklyn will take advantage of the vacancies in Troop 55 of the Carlton Avenue Branch. The Employment Director, E. E. Weatherless, reports a scarcity of men applying for positions. There are numerous good openings for the colored men and boys. The public is asked to take advantage of the employment service of the Carlton Avenue Branch. During the month of November 180 men and boys applied for employment, a great many of whom secured good positions. Decision Favorable to Convict Labor WASHINGTON.—An important decision has been recently handed down by the Supreme Court of Arkansas with regard to certain illegal practices heretofore indulged in by the Board of Pententiary Commissioners by hiring out convicts to private individuals, firms, partnerships, and corporations for the purpose of clearing lands, constructing houses, levees, and dams in violation of statute and for private profit. Such employment, the court found, was in contravention of law and public policy. The Court said: "It is urged that the convicts have not been leased within the meaning of the statute because their physical control is under the supervision and direction of guards and wardens appointed by the Penitentiary Commission. The physical custody of the convicts by the guards and wardens appointed by the Penitentiary Commission does not and cannot prevent the contract from being one of hiring out or leasing the convicts. "Such a construction of the statute would in effect render it useless and ineffectual for the purpose for which it was enacted. The public policy of the State, as shown by the leg- Long Island Office 250 Union Hall St. Phone Jamaica 9119 relative will, was to prevent letting of the convicts to persons or corporations to be worked by them for private gain. To allow the contracts to stand would be contrary to the policy of the law as tending obviously to result in the violation of the purpose and spirit of our statute prescribing the rules and regulations which are to govern the Penitentiary Board in the control and working of the State convicts". Act of 1880, Penitentiary Commission was outlawed from hiring out and leasing the State convicts. The above quoted decision is of utmost significance to the hundreds of convicts in prisons, whose State Boards of Control have been granting labor concessions to private interests which have exploited prison labor for selfish purposes and personal gain.

In order to assure a gift of a million dollars offered by large educational boards, a campaign to raise $100,000 is being put on by the university. The alumni pledged, themselves to raise $25,000, while Paul D. Cravath, chairman of the board of trustees, offered another $25,000, and W. H. Baldwin, also a trustee of the university, is handling the campaign to raise the balance of $50,000 from the general public. Lowden to investigate the Chicago race riots. Among the guests were: Julius Bledae, baritone; Lawrence Brown, composer; Fred R. Moore, George W. Harris, William M. Kelley, and others; and the following contributors to the book: Dr. W. E. Burghardt Dubols; Paul Kellog, editor "The Survey"; Miss Jessie Fauset; Jean Toomer, poet and author of "Cain"; James Weldon Johnson, Dr. Melville J. Herskott, J. A. Rogers, Rosa Herskott, Walter White The financial secretary, Miss Boaz, is in Nashville and reports that her travels throughout the country have been encouraging and that the alumni and friends of the university are showing a great interest in the school by their generous subscriptions. The campaign was begun Friday on the Fisk campus. After an appeal by Dr. F. A. Stewart, of Nashville, who is a member of the Greater Fisk Alumni Committee and chairman of the zone which includes Tennessee and Kentucky, and Miss Boaz, the students thereupon pledged $500. It is felt by many that this was rather generous, in view of the poor circumstances of the majority of the students. The pledges ranged from $5.00 to $55.00, sent as high as $5. In commenting upon this, the school officials declared that this is another indication of the fine spirit of the present student body and the splendid co-operation which the administration is receiving on every hand. On Friday afternoon the Nashville Fisk Club pledged $2,000. The campaign manager felt that especial mention should be made of the gift of Dr. Stewart, which amounted to $1,000. On Friday brings the total of Dr. Stewart's contribution to Fisk during the past two years up to $2,500, this being the largest single donation thus far from any alumnu Situation in V.I. Better Under Trench Distinctly improved government in the Virgin Islands under the regime of Naval Governor Trench was reported today by D. Hamilton Jackson and Jean Heatres, members of the colonial councils of St. John and St. Croix. Jackson and Heatres may be committee now in this country, working for an autonomous civil government for the islands, go to Washington Monday to begin the congressional campaign for the Islands. Mr. Heatres has just returned a brief visit to the islands and is better in the attitude of the naval authorities toward the Islanders. "A distinctly friendly, even conciliatory, attitude has replaced the old arbitrary conduct of government," Mr. Hestres said. "The change has been so marked that it has caused general comment in the Islands, particularly coming as it does just before a vigorous effort to bring conditions in the Islands before Congress." The Virgin Islands have been without a civil government since their acquisition by the United States from Denmark in 1917. No provision was made at the time for the institution of a representative government and the Virgin Islanders have been without effective civil status under the government of the Navy Department. Previous campaigns for an autonomous government have been marked by much complaint against this arrangement and by much criticism of the alleged misconduct of judicial affairs under former governors.

Campbell and Brooks 2138 7th AVE., COR. 127th ST. Morningside 1450 THIS WEEK By Ernest Rice McKinney (Preston News Service.) PRESIDENT COOLIDGE has been asked to make Perry Howard behave himself and attend to his duties in the Department of Justice. I don't believe that the President will interfere. Perhaps he will. I have heard a rumor that Perry went to the Pullman Company and told them that he controlled the Preston News Service and that he could get the Cameraman and the manager of the service to run Pullman propaganda in their fight with the porters' projected union. Of course, there was to be a consideration for Perry from the Pullman folks. Not having any documentary evidence in the matter, no one can say for sure that this little Negro did such a thing. However, it sounds like him. A man who would do as he has done on various occasions can be expected to do anything despicable that comes to his mind. Negroes like "Pat's Perry" have been doing things like this for fifty years or more. That is the way that they get their graft from white people. They are continually at it, telling them to political or corporation that they are not from newspaper, group or institution. Of course, they don't control any of these things, but the whites don't know it. The first thing Clarence Darrow knows he will be getting a warning from the Kluxes that his time is up. He is getting too frisky in making intercession for Negroes in the courts. Now he has interested boy in Chicago, accused of a colored white boy. Darrow was successful in having the boy sent to a home for delinquent boys. He goes there to be made into a useful citizen, instead of to the penitentiary to be made into a Gerald Chapman. Now, the Kluxes would rather the boy be jailed and to be a first-class bad man. Then they could have a lynching and a filmsy excuse to talk about Americanism and racial purity. The Ione American Negro fighting with the French in Morocco has been killed. Although I am not with the French in this African warfare, nevertheless there is something fine and heroic in this Negro dying in the cause of beloved France, where "Liberty," "Equality" and "Fraternity" are more than mere words—more than sounding brass. Perhaps this man Cole felt that he owed a debt to France for permitting him, for the first time, to breathe in a full breath of freedom and brotherhood. I am reminded of the time that a French officer asked me why there was a Negro division in the American army. At first I told him that I did not know. And then I exclaimed that my country about 60 per cent of the people un civilized, ignorant barbaric. About 10 per cent were downright savages. This officer, with a show of feeling, said that such a thing could never happen in France. And, so, while Cole's family will mourn his passing, they can take solace in the fact that he has died for France. The tight-heads, in England and in this country, are all "het up" over a sermon preached recently by Dean Ingle of St Paul's Cathedral. The "gloomy dean" said that Heaven or Hell were geological expressions that can find no place in the geology of to-day. That is, there "ain't no such animal." There are no geographical Heaven or Hell. The die-hard brethren got hotter when the dean questioned, in velled language, to be sure, the authenticity of the miracles. But the worst blow of all was the following: "It is even possible to speculate as to whether the religion of Christ might not be a greater power in the world if it's professors and godlords were removed." That broke the godlords back. "How come?" they cried. The dean may not know it, but he is writing at profits as well as prophets. Many of the prochains are more interested in profits than in the prophets, their utterances to the contrary, notwithstanding. But the dean may yet live to see the masses awaken and end this dictatorship of the preachertariat. HELD IN CONNECTION WITH AUTO DEATH Frances Merges, white, aged 55, former member of F.

C. 7—Following publication of Mrs. Lawton's book before the South Carolina United Daughters of Confederacy, in which she denounced Abraham Lincoln as a man devoid of humanitarian principles, the Washington Evening Star robukes this "Daughter of Confederacy" as follows: What would the average citizen, learned or unlearned, of pioneer stock or just off Ellis Island, be compelled to do when he deliberately walked up to the Lincoln Memorial and spattered its portals with a double handful of mud? Outrageous and swiftly punishable, only in the faintest degree comparable with that of him or her who finds it in the heart to be smirch the memory of an American soldier and whose tenderness are recognized all over the globe—a memory of which the great classic marble structure, pride of every true American, is but the outward and visible symbol The newly elected president of the United Daughters of the Confederacy recently told the convention of that organization at Spartanburg, S. C., that he thought of kindness when he signed the emancipation proclamation; that his idea in freeing the Negroes was to have the latter rise up and attack the women in southern homes so that the Confederate troops camped to return for the protection of their womenkind. This southern woman, fortunately for her sex and her fellow citizens of the South, has the privilege of that section, nor is she likely thus to promote the popularity and efficiency of a splendid organization that has done so. She has been titled to hold such belief in her own mind, but few if any, will uphold the propriety, to say nothing of the importance of the Civil War ended 60 years ago with credit to both sides and to the leaders on both sides. However mistaken the historians have considered the followers of the other to be, they nevertheless made a practice to give them the utmost credit for their accomplishments. This practice has grown until now the nation, welded inseparately together again, is proud of the good name and reputation of the long struggle. At the topmost plinacle of the nation roll of honor stands the name of Abraham Lincoln, the just, the brave, the faithful, and above all, the charitable, the non-malicious.

He is sailing very soon for a vacation abroad. Mr. Frissell, who is a brother of the late Hollis B. Frissell, for many years principal of Hampton Institute, became treasurer of the National League at its formation in 1911 and served until his resignation a month ago. During that period the usual budget grew from $8,500 to the $60,000 of the League is operating this year. During the same period, 40 affiliated organizations, which are locally financed, have been formed in as many cities throughout the country. L.

Labor School Has 2 Negro Students Scholarship Winners Are Brooklyn Girl and Thomas Dabney KATONAH, N. Y., Dec. 7.—Two scholarships for colored students were granted this year at Brookwood College. The scholarships, which cover tuition and living expenses for the school year, are held by Floria Pinkney of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Thomas Dabney of Ellerson, Va. Brookwood Labor College, as its name indicates, is a school in workers' education, which aims to give people from the labor movement education along lines of economics and trade union technique that will enable them to go back to their trades and help in advancing the cause of the workers. The course of study includes social economics, labor problems, trade union organization and administration, labor history, journalism, public speaking and English. Floria Pinkney, who holds one of the colored scholarships, is a dressmaker, having worked at her trade for six years in various New York shops. She received her training at Manhattan Trade School, and year she served president of the Industrial League of the Young Women's Christian Association of New York. The League has four white and one colored branch, with an active membership of 150. It is Miss Pinkney's ambition, when she has finished her two year course at Brookwood, to become an organizer among skilled colored workers. "We need organization," she said when interviewed recently, "to provide some way for the graduates of our training schools to find jobs suitable to their skill instead of having to take any sort of work that offers as they do now. If the colored workers were organized it might be easier for them to be in trades where their ability is on a par with workers, and only prejudice keeps them in the lower-paid positions." Thomas Dabney is a graduate of Union University at Richmond, Va., having had both his high school and college work there. After leaving school he taught English, history, and mathematics at the County Training School at Dillwyn, Va. While in college he was president of Lambda chapter of Phi Beta Sigma, a national fraternity, and of Kappa Gamma Chl, a literary society.

Labor Secretary Commends Conciliators WASHINGTON.—In addressing his annual report for the past fiscal year to the Congress of the United States, Secretary of Labor James J. Davis expresses satisfaction in the work of the Department's two Negro Commissioners of Conciliation, one in his office at Washington and one at Chicago, Ill. "Their work," states the Secretary, "has consisted of stimulating reciprocal regard between the employers of Negro workers and their personnel. In this connection, valuable surveys of Negro labor have been made and statistics have been gathered and compiled, throwing light upon the Negro labor situation and the opportunities of employers and employees, to the end that the industrial welfare of each group might be more actively fostered and promoted. "In the conduct of this special work the Division of Cancellation acknowledges the splendid cooperation it has received from national and State organizations of Negroes and from many volunteer Negro citizens of the country at large, who have noted this effort of the Secretary of Labor, have given helpful advice and furnished informative reports of the conditions of Negro labor in their respective States."

A. A. C. P. The announced purpose of the committee is to prevent "occupancy in any given neighborhood in the village of persons who might be deemed by the residents of that neighborhood as undesirable neighbors" and to prevent such persons buying property there in the future. The "club idea" is stated as follows: "The moral as well as the legal right or the selection of one's associates has always been recognized by churches, clubs, secret societies and organizations of every kind. Members have the vote in connection with any applicant and generally rules require almost unanimous consent for admission consents by the members and would be deemed unworthy if he insisted upon admission in an organization against the wishes of its members." Citizens in that region are being urged to sign restriction petitions. TWO WOMEN KILLED IN MISS. TORNADO (Preston News Service). YAZOO CITY, Miss. Dec. 7. Two unidentified women were killed injured when a tornado dipped into the city from the northeast early Friday, blowing down about fifty homes and causing a property loss estimated at more than $250,000. actor on Sky-Scrapers in Philadelphia Frederick Massiah of Philadelphia, Pa., at the age of thirty-five is one of the largest concrete and steel engineers in the country today. His payroll averages above $5,000 each week. Some of the most beautiful structures in downtown Philadelphia, Newark, N. J., and in other cities on the Atlantic seaboard testify to both his ability and the demand for his services. And Frederick Massiah is a Negro—unquestionably so. Born in West Indies. Mr. Massiah was born almost thirty-five years ago on the islands of Barbados, British West Indies. His parents were only average working people with less than average means. His early training was secured in a trade school and in company with what is known as a master workman in the field. This training included learning to do stone work, concrete and cement and street construction work, mixing and mastering work. In the West Indies all these artisans were called masons, but young Massiah always excelled in the concrete and cement work. He developed a liking for construction; he was proud of the fact that his hands had helped build and learned all he could about concrete work, with his master workman. and owns really in almost the heart of the city. Mr. Massiah received considerable notice recently in the Philadelphia dales for his successful construction of an elliptical dome—a rare and difficult place of construction—on a large church there. His 22-story Finance Building in downtown Philadelphia, and at the time of his visit here he had $150,000 worth of contracts being completed. He has contracts for building for the Sequall-Centenial Exposition to be held in Philadelphia. After amassing enough money to take passage to the United States, he came over and found very soon that he would have to specialize in order to make a success. He decided the thing he wanted to do for his life's work and, accordingly, began study to become a steel and concrete contractor and builder. Attended School in Philadelphia. Frederick Massiah reached Philadelphia about ten and one-half years ago with nothing but "award." He knew that his first step must be an enrollment in some engineering school, but the practical knowledge of concrete he had obtained as a laborer, with the theories of construction which could only be obtained from books. Young Massiah knew nothing of tensile strength, expansion, stress, estimates, the like-and-alike, and knowledge that in order to succeed he must know those things well. His finances were low but he are ranged to enter the Mercantile School of Art in Philadelphia, where he began to much easier a three-year course. This only proved to him that there was much about engineering he had yet to learn, so he entered rexel School of Civil Engineer, also in Philadelphia, grants was ready to begin his work. 24 Early Days a Struggle. In those days the competition in his line, especially in Philadelphia, was keen. And Massiah's worries had only begun when he landed a contract. There were kicks in use by his competitors then which he knew nothing about, and Mr. Massiah says he wanted to be a good player very badly those days was delayed in reaching him, and that many a small building contract was completed with cash that had been held out on him for 30 and sometimes 60 days. He eases one instance where an apartment house was bought with an installment on the price of some work he had done, and he insisted he was until the apartment was resold. The general contractor, who was supposed to pay Mr. Massiah his share of the contract price, made $5,600 off Massiah's money in the 30 days he held it. But now all those tricks are known to Mr. Massiah and, partly due to the size of the apartment, he has experience and mostly because of his normo is business, he is immune from the tricks practiced on him in former years. Employs Mixed Workmen. Mr. Massiah says that in his years of experience he has never had labor troubles, despite the fact that his employees are about equally divided between black and white. He employs white foremen and colored foremen over crews of workmen consisting of both black and white men. Color has never been a priority for the workman or not employing him. Ability to do the task is all that Massiah demands, and he demands this one thing from both black and white. His men are always union men, most of them sent out to the job from headquarters. If the percentage of black isn't large enough he takes the job from the usual workman. Mr. Massiah enjoys accommodation privileges with all railroads of the country; by that we mean that material ordered by him for use anywhere in the country, carlot or tramload, is released to him on arrival at its destination, with the usual fare concerning freight and freight at the headquarters of the road at regular periods. This is a privilege enjoyed by only a few contractors in the country. Is Youngest Member of Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Massiah enjoys the distance of being the youngest member of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, the second largest Chamber in the United States. He is also on the directorate of the Mercantile School at where he formerly was a student. He has a beautiful home in Philadelphia. $100.00 For Any Tooth We Cannot Extract Painlessly NEWARD HALLEM'S MOST MODERN DENTAL OFFICES Dumbbell and Brooks AVE. COR. 127th ST.

Mr. Massiah received considerable notice recently in the Philadelphia dailies for his successful career as a rare and difficult piece of construction—on a large church there. He built the new addition to the 22-story Finance Building in downtown Philadelphia, and at the time of his visit here he had $150,000 worth of contracts being conceived has contracts for building for the city, and expects to be held in Philadelphia next year, and expects to get more.

Colorful News Movies (Continued from Page L) Bita-Pies, we'll bet, are stronger in organization than theools, waitresses and laundresses. And when we're called to send delegates to a national industrial conference, we won't weak in organizations. The shine is ours, of both sexes, that we sleep upon our rights. Organization is the one and only curative that will raise us from our present sick bld. We use organizations all about us and need them not; and then, when one of our groups does contract with us, we give our organization, some of our crab species claw out and try to put that group backwards. It is to be ardently hoped that the colored women of America will set the fine example of coalition by stating something "constructive in the way of protection on their sex wage earners. Let them send a noteworthy delegation to national industrialists for where women is popular, the colored women have done, and doing their bit on a basis of two to one. "Daring Brotherhood" REV. JOSEPH ERNEST McAFEE (white), writing in "The Christian Century," states that Bermuda Negroes have become restless, "because," says the reverend, "race relations in Bermuda are not altogether satisfactory" (to them). Bishop McAfee writes with preponderating wisdom when he says "The very fact that the Negro-majority has attained such unusually high social levels must more and more complicate a situation where For Asthma During Winter A Remarkable Method That Has Come to the Rescue of Asthmaics and Checks the Worst Attacks—Send Today for Free.

Send free trial of your method to: the black man aspires and the white man still counts sacred the doctrine that the Negro. must know and 'keep his place.' There is likely to be sharp disagreement between the two races as to what that place is. Politically and socially the Berndu Negro, like the black world around, is restless; he wonders whether he is getting a square deal while his large majority is represented in the local Parliament at most by one, two, three or four of his more and more self-conscious race, and while white influence, self-consciously white, otherwise dominates the political and social order. The Negroes attend upon the services of the religious establishment, when they want to, of course. But their pews are negro-speaking, and they are the ones to be. But ostentuous white superiority in the location of pews, and in the personnel of the official, embattles the struggle of the racial majority to compete self-respect, however sincerely they acknowledge themselves relatively backward in the DARING BROTHERHOOD under an establishment of the Christian religion in a modern democracy. To which we would reply then, 'caring brotherhood' is quite a topponish phrase to apply to just plainly humanary things. But when we lamentably admit, seems to have flown out of the tricolored 'windows' of the white man's church and must be doing a 'spirit' somewhere, but breathe heaven and Hades, when it might be mind where it ought to land. Movable Schools THE movable agricultural school, the work which embraces demonstrations and lectures on health and sanitation, farm and home improvement, care of poultry, and care and improvement of live stock, marks a very forward looking step, which Uncle Sam has inaugurated in the Southern States for the agricultural education of Negro rural farmers. These schools hold day-by-day meetings in counties so far inland to make it impracticable for farm and home demonstration agents to make regular visits to rail and gig. The movable school equipment consists of a truck well supplied with farm, posters, garden, lawn mowers, lawn chairs, table equipment, and material for its cutting and lifting of clothing and the making of dress forms, mattresses, rugs, and carpets, along with the essentials I teach in modern farming and truck gardening. With the school also goes a health nurse, who gives instruction in caring for the skin and applying first aid treatments. Following demonstrations along these lines, the truck runs over a grassy field, and the pet, health games and no-mountain machines to Negro run farmers' kindies, who are stimulated to play as well as work. This practicable innovation is merely another one of the many efforts to to the stream of importance that the South permits to flow through its Negro population — a stream resisting with the unprotected toll of a slave race, whose blood is poured through into the light of wisdom. And even as the rule comes back from Aliehner, N. C. of how Negro constells were beaten soumerifully that they died within a few hours, we wonder if "superficially" will ever prove its case in "dear old Dixieland." The Negroes of the South need the movable school. They need a movable food, a movable humanity, a movable Christianity, lest they permanently think, as the Negro farmers at one time thought, that for them life is merely a mockery.

Anti-Lynching Broadside Fired in Mississippi State's Leading Citizens Demand That Law Be Uphold Issue 80-Page Book JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 7.—Sheriffs, their deputies, and all other law-enforcement officers are urged to use armed force and to risk their own lives in suppressing lynching and mob violence, in a pamphlet entitled "Mississippi and the Mob," which has just been brought out by State officials, officers and leading members of the State Bar Association and other prominent citizens. Among the signed statements making up the book are ringing declarations against mob violence by Governor H. L. Whitfield, Speaker Thomas L. Bailey of the House of Representatives, President J. N. Flowers of the State Bar Association, a number of judges of the Supreme Court, members of Congress, prominent lawyers, educators, churchmen and clubwomen. Prominent place is given, also, to the recent antitrusting statement made by the Mississippi Women's Committee on Interracial Co-operation, which has since been affirmed by hundreds of Mississippi women at meetings throughout the State. An important section of the pamphlet is given to suggestions for the prevention of lynching. Sheriffs are urged to announce in advance that they expect to do their duty in every case, even at the risk of their own lives; to employ as deputies only those persons who agree to go to the same length in upholding the law; to ascertain the names of men who are opposed to mob violence and to swear these in as special deputies at the first sign of trouble; to remove to the jails of other counties prisoners threatened with mob violence, and to call upon the Governor to order out the National Guard, if needed. The lynching statistic for the last forty years is given, showing 130 victims to the discredit of Mississippi. The popular fallacy regarding "the usual cause" of lynching is also mercilessly exposed. Photographs of a recent lynching are shown and "respectfully referred to the next grand jury." State officals, members of the Bar Association and other prominent people are distributing the pamphlets widely and are offering medals in each Congressional district for the best essays on the subject by high-school students. This pamphlet and the recent statement by Mississippi women represent the first organized efforts in this State to mobilize public sentiment for the eradication of lynching. They are regarded as highly significant and are expected to have a profound effect on public sentiment. FACULTY DISCUSSES TEACHING METHODS (Preston News Service.)

PITTSBURGH, Pa., Dec. 7—In an address before several hundred baptist hymns of Allegheny County, Dr. C. W. Wilkey, pastor of the lydie Park Baptist Church of Chicago, spoke on "Jesus Christ in the spirit," and lauded the work of handl, the non-co-operationist sader in India, saying: "No one is more like Jesus to-day than handl." "The two main things to-day that infuse India's opinion of the United States are the American race problem, as in impresses the Indian student, and the American after he returns home, and the serious american prestige has suffered in India because of the immigration weg."

Unification carried complete in the Methodist Episcopal Church, the favoring vote being almost 95 per cent in the Southern branch the required constitutional majority is three-fourths. The vote falls far short of this, but it is evident that the final returns show a numerical majority of between 300 and 400." His Church Affiliations Bv WILLIAM A. BRYAN. This story is told by a member of the Episcopal Church, travelling South, who met a citizen who claimed that he also was an Episcopalian: "To what parish do you belong?" I asked. "Don't know nothin' 'bout any parish," was his answer. "Well, to what diocese do you belong?" I inquired. "There ain't nothin of that sort this part of the country that I ever heard of," he replied. "But who confirmed you?" said I. "Nobody," he replied. "But didn't you tell me you were an Episcopalian." "Oh, yes," said the old man. "I'll tell you how it is. Last Spring I went down to New Orleans visitin' and while I was there I went to church and it happened ter he an Episcopalian one, and, among other things, I heard 'em say that they left undone them things they'd daughter done and done them things they hadn't oughter done; and I said to myself, That's just my fix, too, and since then I've always considered myself an Episcopalian." "Well," said I, as I shook the old man's hand, "if your ideas of an Episcopalian are correct, we are the largest denomination in the world." Y. M. C. A.

"Current History" Publishes Bagnall's Article on "New Abolition Movement" "Current History" Publishes Bagnall's Article on "New Abolition Movement" Current History Magazine for December publishes an article by Robert W. Bagnall entitled "Negroes in New Abolition Movement," in which Mr. Bagnall declares that: "The old abolition movement sought to free the Negro from chattel slavery; the new abolition movement seeks to free him from caste slavery. Its aim is to secure for the Negro the same treatment accorded whites in this country." Speaking of the work of the N.A.A.C.P., which represents this new abolition movement, Mr. Bagnall writes: 'The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is generally looked upon by Negroes all over this land as their one hope for full opportunity and freedom, and has their full confidence. It is not without enemies, however. The Ku Klux Klan regards it as an anthema; the solid white South is afraid and suspicious of it. Southern communities refusing to allow the Crisis to be circulated within their borders; Negro politicians do not love it, and Negro tools of whites term it 'radical'. On the other hand, Presidents of the United States have commended its good work and the loading agencies of the country have acknowledged its worth. Monsieur Battling Siki Continues to Rub Elbows With Those Dear Gentdarmes While John Lester John "The new abolitionist movement holds John Brown in high regard; but, unlike this old fighter, it does not believe in physical violence, although it asserts the rights of citizens to protect themselves against mobs. Its methods are peaceful and within the law. These are. (1) The education of public opinion; (2) the use of the courts—especially the higher courts; (3) legislation; (4) the intelligent use of the bailor; (5) cultural and economic stimulus. "The Association knows that its cause is unpopular, that its fight must be long and difficult—but it also knows that every reform that has been won the result of the education of public opinion. It remembers how men said, chattel slavery would never end; how Catholism boasted that he would count his slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill; how Northerner and Southerner were against the hated Abolitionist. It also has not forgotten the ribald jostle made against woman suffrage and what a forlorn hope it seemed to many. It remembers that a hundred years ago books were written essaying to prove that the Negro was a boast in human form; without a soul, and realizes that it is a long road to the present when books are being written attempting to prove that he is inherently inferior to the white man. It has full confidence in the power of the right sort of propaganda." Monsieur Battling Siki Continues to Rub Elbows With Those Dear Gendarmes While John Lester Johnson Shows That He Knows How to Counter When in a Clash With John Law Any number of our readers will be surprised to learn that Monsieur Louis Phal, better known as Battling Siki, is still in these United States and cutting up just the same as ever. From the noise raised after the clowning of Siki at the Commonwealth Sport Club some months back, many thought they were about to deport the Senegalese. But therein lies a story unfamiliar to the average colored American. The Battling one happens to be a French citizen, and it is doubtful. If France felt that Sikh had done anything to warrant his being deported, in spite of the many scraps in which he has been the central figure. Frenchmen, being as they are, will go to the front in more instances than one for their colonialists, therefore Monsieur Sikh's case was deeper than many thought, judging from surface indications. Then, too, it must be remembered that Sikh practically gave the light heavyweight championship of the world to bold Michael McTigue one memorable 17th of March, in Ireland, and for that you will even find the Irish with him. Add to that the act that he was being managery over the Levy, a Jew, you have the case of his still being in America in spite of his actions as clear as the light on a balmy day. We'll now let you read about Siki's latest escapade as told by an imaginative writer on one of the local dailies, incidentally introducing a little pass of arms which our own Lester Johnson engaged in recently and the outcome of the tracas. Hero goes, and with due credit for clipping the stuff and saying so without trying to make it appear as if it came first to us, like so many of the undown sheets will do this week: Battling Siki demonstrated yesterday he knew all the formalities of going to jail. Not only that, but he went dressed, with an opera cape and a silk topper. When he left he told the guards to keep the cell neat and orderly as he might he back at any moment. Just after midnight he halted the LEG SORES ARE CURABLE.

"I'm Battling Sikl," he said. "Take me up to Harlem, where the trombones moan." They want to a cabaret, which Sikl left without hitting anybody. They visited most of the cabarres in Harlem without Sikl hitting anybody and it seemed unlikely he would be in jail before the sun came up. "It costs you $10.80." Dick said when Sikl left the cab before his apartment at 361 West 42nd street. "I know," Sikl said, "I'm going to fail. I know how. Drive me to the West Thirtieth street station, I have friends there." At the station Sikl explained: "Money, I have not got it. I owe this poor taxi driver. I want a nice, clean cell. I understand. I've been like this before." Skii was locked in one of the best cells in the station. He spent most of the day in it. About 10 m. in the door was unlocked and he was taken to Jefferson Market Court. There Skii explained he possessed $3 and could borrow $7 from a court attendant. Dick reduced his charge 80 cents for cash and sentence was suspended. In West Side Court John Lester Johnson, the Negro heavyweight who received a decision over Jack Dempsey years ago, demonstrated he knew how to keep out of jail. He was discharged on a complaint made by Edward Cohen, a taxi driver, of 345 East 165th street, the Bronx. Johnson still fights but, in order to be quite sure of eating, works as a doorman in a long-tailed uniform with brass buttons, at Reubens. 327 Broadway. Cohen stopped with a party at Reuben's and when he didn't drive away quickly enough to quit Johnson there was an argument. Cohen said Johnson struck him, knocking out two teeth. "In trying to keep him from hitting me with a crank handle," Johnson explained, "my hand accidentally came into contact with the lower part of this gentleman's jaw. I'm a strong man. Jack Dempsey could tell you."

AMSTERDAM NEWS Classified Pages Essentials of Success in Business By C. E. ARMSTRONG There are so many factors necessary to the success of a commercial enterprise that only factors of prime importance will be entered into here. These factors are five, viz; financing, manufacturing, selling, transportation, and accountancy. It is very rare that marked ability along all of these lines are centered in one person. In fact, modern business is tending more and more every year toward specialization, and the securing of experts to head all of the important departments of the business. Supervising and directing these various heads, and keeping them working in harmony for the general good of the business, requires a man of great ability, with a knowledge of the various problems affecting all departments, and a keen insight into human nature, because after all the hardest job is to keep highly paid employees working for the good of the entire business, always mindful of the fact that his department is only a part of business entity, utterly useless unless it can function with the other departments. The title of such a man is General Manager. The formulating of all policies is up to him; he is responsible to the president and board of directors for all results. After a business has been organized the first problem coming up for consideration is the finances. It has been very aptly said that money life-hood, any business—the business-financial under-nourished, and in an anemic condition. The success of an enterprise depends often on whether or not it has a sound financial policy, and the failure of many an enterprise can be laid to an unsound policy. The formulating of a sound policy is largely dependent upon the industry to be entered Harlem 3819-3820 H. FRIEDMAN, Prop.

If it is a trading or a manufacturing enterprise that is subject to keen competition, and at best speculative, where earnings are subject to wide fluctuations, common stock is best, placing all share-holders on the same parity. Where difficulty is experienced in securing the required amount of capital, a certain proportion of the capital can be in the form of preferred stock, with a cumulative clause, and while dividends can be deferred unifl the business becomes prosperous, they become a charge against the company ahead of the common stock. No newly formed enterprise should burden itself with fixed charges which must be met regardless of whether they are earned or not, such as bond interest, unless it is a consolidation of existing enterprises hoping to effect economies by combining under one directing head.

THE RHINELANDER CASE, which held the spotlight on the stage of public opinion for a period of four weeks, has reached its climax. All that happens from now on in the Westchester drama will be trivial in comparison. The twelve white men who heard the evidence submitted by Leonard Kip Rhinelander, in his effort to free himself from his marriage to Alice Jones Rhinelander, on the ground that she deceived him as to her racial origin, have decided that she is still Mrs. Leonard Kip Rhinelander. INCIDENTALLY, we believe the Rhinolander jurors have rendered a great service to womanhood in general and Negro womanhood in particular. Their decision upholds statutes designed to make the world morally better. In so many words it says that a man of means must not invade an humble home and carry off a beloved daughter, have sexual relations with her, give her his name, and then cast her into the gutter, on the filimsy excuse that she deceived him as to her race. Obviously, under identical circumstances, the same jurors would have rendered the same decision if Alice Jones had been pure white, or of any other race under the sun. Womanhood, of all races, should hail the decision as a victory. CONTRARY to what Southern white people would have believed, the Rhinelander decision does not contribute one iota to miscegenation through intermarriage of colored and white races. Instead, it may prove a strong deterrent. Face white men with the fact that the law will not uphold them in their promiscuous folly with colored women, and that race-prejudice, both assumed and real, will not afford them a hiding place, and we will have gone a long way toward curbing promiscuous miscegenation. Such interracial marriages as will then occur will not necessarily be conceived in immorality and iniquity. Rhinelander called the tune all right, but he wanted to run off without paying the fiddler. NEGROES, generally, look with as much disfavor upon interracial marriage as white people—possibly more; but most Caucasians, and especially those of southern birth and breeding, make strenuous efforts not to believe it. To subject their theories of Anglo-Saxon superiority and race prejudice, they find it much more convenient to believe that all colored men want white wives and all colored women white husbands. What a lie! Carry the superiority idea to its logical conclusion and Leonard Kip Rhinelander, nor no mer white man, would pursue a col- woman, even for im- poses. His racial superiority would deter him. WITHOUT GIVING MARRIAGE A THOUGHT, and for purely selfish purposes, white men have pursued colored women since the days of slavery. Hitherto they have known that the law would not force them to marry or remain in a marital state with a colored woman, even when children resulted from the union; and the few cases which found their way into the courts were decided, not on the evidence and circumstances, but on race prejudice, always unfair to the woman in the case. The Rhinelander case would have thus been decided in all the Southern States and in most all of those in the North. That a jury in the State of New York has risen above race prejudice in rendering an important decision is a circumstance in which all of us should take pride. Expressed by Our Contemporaries End of Act I, Scene 2 (From The Daily News.) The curtain has desended on the most recent exposition of the drama of miscegenation, and, barring the formal decision of the justice (which would be in the nature of an antellimax), the disky daughter of a mulatto is still Mrs. Leonard Kip Rhinlander. It is only the end of the tragic second scene of Act I. however. Of the seven questions in justice Morsehuser's charge to the jury, the answer to the sixth question was that the plaintiff's plea, "If the plaintiff had known the defendant of colored blood would he have married her?" was the query. And the jury's answer was "Yes." That conclusion must have been strongly influenced by the testimony of Barbara Reynolds, a reporter whose interview with Rhinelander on behalf of a peared only in his 1950s had asked Rhine, and another it was true he had married the daughter of a colored man. His reply, as spread on the court records and never denied, she said, was: "Yes, and we are very happy." During the trial it never seemed to us that there was any basis for the reported 5 to 1 betting odds among townsmen and spectators would win an annuity, and opinions must have been built on a color line. They could not have been supported by the evidence. Human emotions, quivering, vulgar, primitive—all the adjectives you want to name—have been bared to public gaze; a white mother has suffered added humiliation, and a proud name has been besmirched beyond cleansing. And through it all the father of the author of the whole terrible aloof. He deserved his son (and this is home out by the recorded identification of Judge Mills) in his hour of greatest need. In this, as in other mistakes, misfortunes, or actual crimes of youth, we cannot avoid facing the old, old question of parental responsibility. And how shall we answer it? How are we answering it? Arthur Brisbane On the New York American—Copyright. With at least ten million human beings waiting for the verdict, a jury decides that Alice must be murdered. Rilke has formerly been an anristocrat, because his people have been drones for some time. Just now, his name has been removed from the Social Register, because of his marrying a woman with African blood. Young Rilkelander wanted his marriage set aside; the lady had deceived him as to her blood. The jury says that there was no deception. That settles that, and the "Alice-Kip" sensation will drift back into the big closet for skeletons, and some other skeleton will be brought forth. A gentleman from Mars, where they may all be of one breed, might be amazed at the public interest in such a marriage, showing that race prejudice is the powerful than any feeling except international hatred. But nature's wisdom is in it, of course. It took thousands of centuries to produce a white man. The white man sincerely appreciates himself, wants to stay white, and it's well for the race that he does. The betting was 5 to 1 that he would decide human, and those that bet 3 to 1 on an unfair decision lost. A Just Verdict in a Sorry Case (from the New York World.) (From the New York Times) From its censurable exception the Rhinelander annulment case dragged its slow length through mourases of unsavvy details and three-day gales of needless fall to firm ground at last. The end was justice. The law was clearly stated by Justice Morsechauser in his charge. The jury brought in the court that could have been justified by the evidence. Its members are entitled to the thanks of the community for a public service faithfully performed. The case should never have gone to trial. It was the duty of a lawyer, as an officer of the court, to warn the Rhinelander family of what has happened. Counsel should have informed clients that an annulment plea would open noodgates of nauseous testimony and that, upon the facts as known, it would have scant chance of success in a fair court before an honest jury. That advice, acted upon, would have spared the Rhinelanders much humiliation. It would have given the profession of the law one scandal less for regret. It would have spared the people an infliction they have the right to resent. The Democratic Party South Is the Democratic Party North (From the Atlanta Independent) The policy of the Democratic party is national, in spirit and in purpose; thus the methods used to effectuate a common purpose may be different in theory, but the definite purpose of the party is to win at any cost. It is always politics with the party first and principlist last. Thus it logically follows that if the policy of the party is one in common in both sections and in the individual in the individual it ought to be equally as objectifiable to the same individual in the North. Parties, like individuals, must be founded upon What the Rhinelander Case Means to What the Rhinelander Case Means to be borne in mind that New York State has never in its courts decided just what a Negro is. In other States of the Union, it is true, it has been definitely stated, both by statutes and by judicial opinions, what proportion of Negro blood constitutes a Negro; but not so in the State of New York. In the fullest legal sense then, both Mr. Rhinelander and Mrs. Rhinelander were equal before the law; they were both citizens; they were both human beings; they were of sound mind and of legal age and they are the only requirements which the laws of the State of New York demand before persons may legally enter into any form of contract. Mrs. Rhinelander is charged by her husband with committing a fraud upon the marriage as a virtue to warrant an annulment of the marriage contract. The law specifically makes a difference between the marriage contract and all other contracts and declares that, in the ordinary contract, any misrepresentation would void the contract, in the marriage contract the misrepresentation must be of such a nature as to reach the essence of the agreement before any fraud will be allowed. We see, then, that the question before the law is whether the marriage will be held, while the point decided, in as far as Mr. Rhinelander is concerned, is: whether his wife knowingly concealed the fact of her race from him; the important point for Negroes is: whether the color of one's skin is the same as that of the marriage the essence of a marriage agreement as would give one party to the agreement grounds for breaking his promise before the law and setting the agreement aside. If, for the sake of argument we concede that Mrs. Rhinelander have said to her husband that she was not a Negro woman, the fact remains that Mr. Rhinelander should have known that this was not true; for, from the whole personnel of the Jones family and their grandparents, the prudent person should have realized that this was a colored family. "It must not be forgotten that, while this suit was brought upon the alleged ground of fraud, the whole motive back of it was to emphasize a long social practice and to establish principles and not upon policy if they would live and serve humanity. If parties would get anywhere they must stand for principles and not policy. If the northern Negro who denounces the shortcomings of the Democratic party South so vehemently would be consistent, he must vote against the Democratic party in the North for the same reason he denounces the Democratic party in the South. The policy of the party being national is raised on national issues and not local issues. The spirit of disfranchisement originated in the South, but has been accepted by the Democrats of the North, and has become the national policy of the Democratic party, which every Negro subscribes to when he votes for the Democratic party in either local or national contests for supremacy in government affairs. Segregation Crow cars, disfranchisement, and all other items from which the Negro subscribes are instances of the Democracy, and accepted in the South by Northern Democrats, and accepted in the North by Northern Democrats. Every Negro who votes the Democratic ticket in the North votes for the disfranchisement and political damnation of himself and fourteen million other race men and women. Principle is not local, it is national and universal. No race or group of people will ever rise high in the public regard of place men and women and be held in place as long as they permit themselves to be used for their own undoing. The Negro must either approve of or disapprove of Democratic policies as repugnant to Negro welfare if he would be recognized as a helpful factor in the making of the law and the selection of the administrators of the law. He cannot blow hot and cold in the same breath, and expect to take a place alongside of men and women who act and think from patriotic motives. The only difference in the treatment of the Negroes by the Democratic party North and the Democratic party South is one of method and not of principle. The means are a little different, but the ends are just the same. The South boldly distranchises the Negro, and deprives him of his vote by legal intrigues and subterfuges, but does not corrupt him. The Northern Democrat reaches the same end by means of brutality and tickling the politically venomous office and a certain amount of involuntary incrooked businesses. The few Democratic Negro office-holders are used as a means of controlling the Negro masses by holding out to them protection in criminal businesses so long as Democrats are in power. Thus it is apparent that the Northern means are far more dangerous than Southern methods. The Southern Negro is dischancised against his will, but his morals are untouched. The Northern Negro willingly votes the Democratic ticket and his morals are completely destroyed and his usefulness uninhilated. When the Negro finds himself on the job the law understands the situation, and he is only released or granted immunity through the Democratic Negro leader who holds an inferior office, and the common herd of our people are taught to vote the Democratic ticket because they believe the Democratic party will save them from punishment when in the clutches of the law. While we are opposed to distranchisement, segregation and Jim Crow cars, we had rather have these political affiliations and retain our good morals than have a few public offices and protected the time and money they are employed by grafters. Democratic methods of controlling Negro votes in the fitness of things must inevitably lead to national distranchisement of our people in this country. There is no greater menace to perpetuity of free goods than the loss of a market. The loss is used as a commodity in the market for sale. The By Edgar M. Grev TO THOSE NEGROES who have followed the course of race prejudice, as it has developed in the world, the present trial of the sensational suit at White Plains is not surprising. Quite a lot of speculation is being undertaken as to the outcome of the case, but very few persons realize the importance which the outcome of this case bears on the future legal status of the Negro woman in the State of New York. Apart from the purely legal phases of the case, there are certain definite sociological elements which are being scrutinized and brought under direct focus, both by the minds of Negroes and whites alike. The legal phases of the case are not new in the United States, but certainly are new to some foreign communities. The first case of its kind was brought to the courts of the State of Maryland in 1683, when a "mullato male servant" was brought into court to decide whether, under the laws of that State, a mullato was a man within the meaning of a Christian, "was entitled to inherit the property of his deceased white wife," (d. J. H. Russell; Free Negroes in Virginia.) It was then decided that he was not; the court admitted that he was free and a Christian, but declaring that he was not a man within the meaning of the law, he was never legally consummated. In that same year a statute was passed for bidding white servants from entering into social relations with Negroes or mulattoes. (Brewley's History of the American West. With an introduction us now examine the different phases of the present, suit and impartially decide what the social and legal consequences portend to the womanhood of the race. Let it be borne in mind in the first instance, that under New York, no distinction is made as to race. Further, it might also life of the government is threatened, and the happiness and comfort of the people are meaured. No race of people can rise very high in the public record who cannot differentiate between the dollar and a In the light of the Democratic policy towards the black man who has a conscience, how can he deal with and vote for the Democratic party? Millions of Negroes in this country vote the Republican ticket without the hope of personal gain beyond the guarantee of the individual's constitutional rights, as set out in the Constitution. No Negro votes the Democratic ticket except for the hope of selfish gain. The Negro will not vote the Democratic ticket in an section of the country unless he is protected in crime, or a free hand in the underworld. Northern Negroes are not in confidence; they are human beings like the shepherd of the South, and are incapable of voting for the political enslavement and economic starvation of twelve million free men and women except for personal consideration. This editorial is for the purpose of bringing this burning issue to the public for their sober and compassionate consideration. Let the Democratic party cut out personal pay, stop giving the Negro a few cheap offices in the North, and the Northern Negro will be as solidly Republican as his Southern brother. The Northern Democrats adopt Southern policies in dealing with the Negro. They use the Northern Negro to get to Congress, and just as soon as they get to Washington they vote with the Southern'Democrats in support their anti-Negro program on the North. The Northern Negro democrats disfranchise and segregate, but they use for the Democrat who joins demonstrations in打闹 over every program that he dominates on every roll call. The Democratic Negro North cuts no figures on the National Democratic program. He receives no such recognition as the Republican Negro South or North receives at the hand of the Republican party. Do a few offices and a little pull to cover crime mean more to three hundred thousand Negroes in the North than political freedom and the economic emancipation of twelve million Negro men and women in the man's mind self-respecting Negro can vote the Liberty, his constitutional rights, opportunity to make a doable was, and is made by the Democratic party? How can he in good conscience vote against the party that freed him, enfranchised him, and made him a man and a citizen for the party that has disfranchised, segregated and Jim-Crowd him, and put every statute on the books local or national that has for its purpose to make him a poon, and to reduce him to the serf? Do our brethren in the North think more of their privileges in the underworld offices than they do of our schools in the South, our churches, our economic opportunity and our rights as men and citizens. They they the foresight to assemble to electate in the North will bring disfranchise in the North and that the Southern Democrat will join the Northern Democrat when he makes the move to disfranchise, or so retract the ballot nationally that the Negro in the North will suffer in common with the Negro in the South? The issue has been raised and what will the answer be? Our only hope is the Republican party because it will not be many years before Southern men will be Presidents and fill every administrative office of importance in the government. The day is not too distant when the Southern policy which is already nationalized and the policy of this South and the Negro North and the Negro South had better join in a common purpose to stay in the Republican party, for all else, in the language of Frederick Douglas, "Is the sea." an ancient legal opinion which has been held and established in other sections of the country; to wit: that a white man may at any time indulge in sexual relationship with a Negro woman, the protection of the law against her social and legal claims growing out of this relationship. It is evident that throughout the long years of contact of the whites and blacks in America, the white man has repeatedly given the white woman his was superior to the Negro woman by continually undertaking sexual relationship with her; for, surely, no rational human being will mate with an inferior. But the glist of the whole professed doctrine of superiority in the white man's desire to deny to the non-white "toys" of his passions social recognition, economic support and public protection. If the mulattoes of this nation inherited to the extent of one-third of their population, Negro race would indeed be the wealthiest in the United States. The remarkable point to be observed here is that Negroes are too prone to accept any form of social relationship with whites of any caste, and will submit to this process of making almost without exception. Now the time he has come when we must insist upon a standard which yields more than mere "good looks" in the form of proper attentions of the white race to ourselves. When the leaders of a race have no better advice to offer to the rank and file of that race than the familiar. Get white and good-looking, get black and good-looking, get canan" it is time that the race hide its head in shame. Mr. Rutter, in his book, "The Mulatto in the United States," says (page 169): "The Negro appears to pay no attention to the warnings of the white race that it will have none of his blood or of his life or of social degradation in an effort to become light of skin, and feels proud of life in direct ratio as his succeeds in this task." After discussing the growth of whiteness among Negroes and the decrease in blackness in the interracial affair, Mr. Rutter gives the whole basis of Negro leadership and society is determined according to the Keeping Fit:- By E. ELLIOTT RAWLING, M.D. Have You Bought Your Christmas Seals? THE spirit of Christmas cheer is with us once again. Happiness and good-will should be the attitude of all, with a rededication to the belief of the "Father of God and the Brotherhood of Man." Each of us at this particular time should have that ideal altruistic spirit of his or her responsibility for the happiness of someone else. This is the true Christmas spirit. It means service and help to someone who needs your thoughtfulness and care. The little Christmas seals, which are sold by the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association at Christmas time, should be bought and placed on your letters. The money is used to bring life, hope, happiness and health to those people who are affected with that deadly and contagious tuberculosis. Negroes as a group in New York City are great sufferers from tuberculosis. A gigantic task is being undertaken by When the next session of the New York Legislature convenes we ought not to be astounded if certain of our Republican and Democratic friends flood the docket with bills proposing to pass laws preventing marriage between members of the same Gang. When Judge Mills, in his speech to the jury, said that any one of the jurors would prefer to see his daughter or son dead than be the wife or husband of a coined person he was stating the opinion of the average white person, far nearer than he realized. No Negro would be concerned as we prefer to mingle the blood of this which scouris his ancestry than to continue to perpetuate men and women of his own racial strain. Say what we may, unless we take a decided stand against this bogging for the white man's blood to flow through the body we will have earned the contempt and scorn which other races have towards our blood. The wives of Presidents and the sons of American public men are proud to own that they have coursing through their vines the blood of the American Indian; but not even the blood of the most rarefied and cultured Negro is good enough to commingle with the blood of even so mean a white person as the progeny of a Huguenot, whose only claim to the crown is the conviction that any man who had to be kicked out of a country is a great man, and his blood is, therefore, blue. Who were the Huguenots? According to Ratzel's History of Mankind (page 62, vol. 3), they were a French Protestant people—some bandits, ex-convicts, debtors, peasants, landed gentlemen, adventurers, plunderers and soldiers of fortune, who, in the early sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, attempted to shirk their debts and responsibilities in order to be disposed to be appointed to the Catholic religion (which was a popular thing to do in some quarters at that time), and were forced by the ruling French to make good or leave the country. They scattered all over the world, and in no other country except the United States do they place such premium upon their necessity. We do not know from which class Rhinelanders came, and we hope it was not the bundit class. Certain elements of shirking responsibilities appear to have persisted down to this day. We know that most of the present case in White Plains would indicate, Mr. Mills contended in his speech to the jury that the lewis and lascivious practices which Rhinelander's letters to his wife are not a white man's practice, but that of black folk. Well, we do know that the Huguenots came from France. That being the fact, the Rhinelanders must be black folk; for the history of seventeenth-century France, the same came, is replete with just such practices as these letters of Leonard Rhinelander to his wife reveal. The pity of the whole case is that we made no united fight to help this girl and the other in the case is taken to a higher court and finally decided against Mrs. Rhinelander, the whole Negro population would be left without legal protection for its women in New York State. This meant that the affairs, for our women, have not yet given up the practice of mating with white men. Negro Exhibitors Win Prizes in Geoceta Fair WAYCROSS, Ga.-The record established by Wave County exhibitors at the larger fairs of the State this year has been supplemented by the announcement of prizes won by Negro exhibitors for the State. A. H. Hinesman, agent for Negroes as a group in New York City are great sufferers from tuberculosis. A gigantic task is being undertaken by the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee in helping the Negro tubercular sufficitors to regain their health and assisting them back to normal life. This committee spreads wide the knowledge of proper living and tuberculosis prevention. In activities are many. There is the nutrition class for children; the Wednesday afternoon periodic physical examinations; the health information bureau, with its distribution of health pamphlets; health lectures; visitations to tubercular homes; assisting patients into tubercular hospitals and sanitation; the conducting of the Harlem Tuberculosis Institute for Negro physicians to study and specialize in the health and sanitation the conducting of the North Harlem Dental Clinic for the free treatment and care of the teeth and mouth. These are only a few of its many activities to spread the gospel of right living among the Negroes of Harlem. In 1924, 600 deaths occurred from tuberculosis among the Negroes in New York City, while in 1926, in the same year among Negroes in New York City was 332 per 100,000 of the Negro population, while that of the remaining population was only 85 per 100,000. This is a big difference, and it shows clearly how much work there is to do among the Negroes, because their tubercular sick and lessen their privation, suffering and economic loss. It is, therefore, imperative that all of us should feel his or her responsibility in helping to safeguard health and life. There is no better time than the Christmas season, our own responsibility to undertake tubercular sufferers. Each Christmas seal that you buy means that you are actively helping in this gigantic task. Let us take the new Negro spirit to heart at this time. Throw away the old Negro spirit of individualism and manhood and racial helpfulness, "One for all and all for one!" If we do this, then Christmas will be happier and more joyful. this county, exhibited products for the first time in the major fairs, taking first place in the State at the Southeastern Fair for ribbon cane, green cane, red cane, Japanese cane, tobacco, sweet potatoes and general farm exhibit. J. P. Peddy won first place for the best general farm exhibit at the Southeastern Fair. Of prizes were won at the State and many awards were received at the State Fair in Savannah, the Ware exhibit being awarded a $100 prize for its excellence in Savannah. The total amount of cash prizes was $200.75. Birth Rate Lowest Ever Recorded in U. S. The birth rate in America is now lower than at any other period of her history and, due to the increasing practice of birth control, the finest qualities of the race are in danger of being wiped out. These are the conclusions of Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman statistician of the research work for the Prudential Insurance Company. About the only encouragement he finds is that the death rate is the lowest ever known, with one exception. He places the annual number of births in this country as about 2,600,000 and deaths as 1,300,000. "The reduction in births applies largely to those who are intellectually as well as intellectually the superior type." Dr. Hoffman says. "It must be apparent that we are deliberately encouraging a diminution of pronounced types of intelligence and character."
