DIES FROM EFFECTS OF POISON YOUNG MARRIED COUPLE KILLED BY GAS ON EVE OF CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY The White Menace--- and Another THE lure of gold and sunshine, plus the mob psychology, which has drawn thousands of white people to Florida, where they hope to become millionaires in a day, has given birth to an unhealthy offspring down in the Everglades. That offspring is the menace of disease which may follow in the footsteps of 600,000 whites, who are now living in tents and other home-made camps just outside of Floridian cities, too overpopulated to accommodate the gold migrants. As the white press says, "these are sorry encampments," with their un sanitary environment, lack of sewage, cleanliness, and septic equipment. Health authorities are aghast at the urge given to typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and other death-dealing diseases. It is to be ardently hoped that quotas of physicians, druggists, nurses, and undertakers are included in the migratory gold hunters, upon whom Floridian realty promoters are fondly gazing. There's a lesson, though, in the white menace that confronts Florida. A white man will face disease and death any time if he thinks that on the way he might clutch a greenback or two long enough to call it his very own. California in 1849 and, later, the Klondike prove this beyond a doubt. We might well absorb some of the white man's power of sacrifice long enough to build up our wealth. Continued on Page 19.

Ransom and Hon. William H. Harrison Address Opening Gatherings — Many Social Functions Planned Representing forty chapters of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, over two hundred delegates are here to take part in the fifteenth annual conclave. The first official session was held last Saturday afternoon. It was followed on Sunday by the annual sermon and public meeting. A large number of colorful social events are being given by the local chapter and popular society matrons. Bishop R. C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Church proached the sermon at Bethel A. M. E. Church. Hon. William H. Harrison, Assistant Attorney, General of Illinois, was the principal speaker Sunday afternoon. Prior to the introducing of Attorney Earl Dickerson, national president, Harcout Tynes, president of the local chapter, delivered the welcoming address. The address on behalf of the city was made by Commissioner F. Q. Morton. The address on behalf of the fraternities and societies was made by Attorney George P. Hall, who told of the place that these societies were taking in the life of the students and graduates. Musical numbers were given by Miss Minnie Brown, C. Carroll Clarke, Miss Lydia Mason, and Miss Andrades Lindsay. An address was made by T. C. Nutter, of Charleton, W. Va. Mr. Nutter told the Kappa delegates that the Negro needs a national program. Bishop Ransom traced the evolution of Americans of African descent from a period of 300 years. He said: "It cannot be successfully maintained that Americans of African descent have a potential influence in directly shaping the course of American statesmanship, literature, the arts, sciences, and philosophies. But their indirect influence has been immense and is everywhere visible for him who has eyes to see." In which direction will Negro scholarship face when fronted by bolshevism was one of the questions raised by the bishop. He then made this challenge: "In some form Negro scholarship must speedily come to the moral and spiritual rescue of the colored youth of the nation. In a nation conceived in the Christian spirit of the common brotherhood of man, in a government based upon the political equality of all its citizenship, how shall Negro scholarship guard itself to hold its own group, true to those high doctrines while meeting the challenge of dental hurred from scals of power occupied by millions of its white countrymen?" Asst. Attorney General Harrison said: "A great many people believe that greatness comes with putting on fine clothes. Kappa is trying to correct that mistake. It is what we have in us, not what we put on that counts. The program of the fraternity is service at all times. The Kappa men must be torchbearers and carry the light of civilization to our own group." (Continued on Page 2.)

His most recent employment was as a waiter on one of the Pullman's of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and his home was in Washington. Since the man's arrest his family, consisting of his wife and two children, had to give up their home in Washington and go to the home of the wife's mother in Raleigh, N. C.

Walker's System Taught "The Trade of No Regrets" Goal Advanced From $50,000 to $65,000 to Meet Doubled Cost of Sweet Case, Due to Second Trial The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced Wednesday that in a period of seven weeks, beginning Oct. 6, had raised the $50,000 fund set as an objective, obtaining in contributions more than the $30,000 required to meet the Garland Fund's offer of $15,000, and, together with the $5,000 given outright by the Garland Fund, completing the $50,000 total. The amount sent to the National Office to date is $30,708. With contributions still pouring in, the goal has been advanced from $50,000 to $65,000 and hopes to go to the Garland Fund with $50,000 instead of $70,000, raised mainly by colored people of the United States, independent of the fund's contribution. The decision to continue the campaign has been made necessary by the second trial in the Sweet case, practically doubling the original cost. The N. A. A. C.

It was the first time since the war that the wartime colonel of the regiment had reviewed the unit. Shortly after 8:30 p.m. battalions began to form. A few minutes later Colonel William A. Taylor, present commander, with his staff of officers, escorted Col. Hayward to the reviewing stand. When the regiment had formed on the floor and the commanding officer reported to Col. Taylor it was announced that Col. Hayward had expressed a desire to see the guard mount in preference to an exhibition of the noncommissioned officers' school of the 1st Infantry. Following the guard mount the companies marched in review. Col. Hayward then inspected the regiment. Veterans of the World War in citizens' clothes greeted Col. Hayward in a body. "Negro Insanity Rate Above White" "Negro Insanity Rate Above White" Dr. Horatio Pollock, of the State Hospital Commission, Gives Results of Study Insanity is more prevalent among Negroes than whites in this country, according to Dr. Horatio M. Pollock, statistician of the State Hospital Commission of Albany. Dr. Pollock bases his conclusions upon a study of unpublished data, derived from the special censuses of institutious for mental disease by the Federal Census Bureau in 1922 and from statistical records of the commission. Several factors contribute to the higher rate of mental disease among Negroes, according to Dr. Pollock's study. These are: First, the Negro race may be less stable than the white race. Second, because Negroes live what Dr. Pollock terms as "marginal existence." It is probable that when mental diseases occur admission to an institution, it is available, is resorted to more frequently than in the case of the whites. Third, the Negroes in the North especially are city dwellers and are subjected to the stresses of city life, which many of them are unable to withstand. Fourth, the climate of the North brings an added stress to the Negro race which originally developed in warmer regions. Dr. Pollock found that in respect to resident patients in hospitals Negro patients numbered 20,084, or 7.0 per cent of the total resident patients, and that the white patients numbered 241,968, or 22.2 per cent of the total.

NEW Y6 AMSTERDAM NEWS WEDNESDAY, DEC. 30, 1925 Issue Over Two Washington Principalships Settled by Transfers WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 28.—The Board of Education late Tuesday afternoon voted to transfer Miss S. C. Lewis, principal of the John F. Cook School, to the new Bell School, effective Jan. 1, and transfer Miss M. E. Wilson, principal of the Bell School, to the present Cook School, preliminary to the naming of Miss Wilson as administrative principal of the new Cook School when it is completed. FISHEL'S FINE FURNITURE This action was taken in executive session by the board members after they had listened for more than two hours to spokenmen for the scores of colored district residents who had petitioned them to suspend their teacher-rating rules and promote Miss Lewis to the administrative principalship of the new Cook School, "for the good of the community." Mrs. Coralie F. Cook registered the only dissenting vote. In turning down the pleas of the teachers, parents and pupils who argued that Miss Lewis's record of 27 years in teaching and her success at the old Cook School entitled her to the promotion, the members of the board made it plain that while their inclination was to please them, they must guard against the school system being dominated by communities and adhere to their thoughtfully prepared rules which give all teachers in the city an equal chance to win promotions. An introductory talk by Dr. Frank W. Ballon, superintendent of schools, who thoroughly explained the reason for the board laying down specified ratings for promotion from teaching to administrative principalships, appeared to be apprehended by those who talked in behalf of Miss Lewis. Both Dr. Ballon and Edwin C. Graham, president of the board, emphasized that Miss Lewis' worth as a teacher was appreciated by them and that she had scored perfect or nearly perfect in many of the items on the test sheet. Complaint. Volced. Contention was made by several of the spokesmen for the group that Miss Lewis had not been given credit for attending. 44 out of 48 special lectures, but Mrs. Cook board member, corrected them by stating that in the review of Miss Lewis' rating this was taken into consideration, her marks revised, and still she fell short of coming into the Class 1 group necessary to the promotion. Mrs. Victorin. Bell, representing the cook School Parent-Teacher Association, told the board that Miss Lewis had been led to expect that she would be promoted to the new Cook School, that she had assisted in arranging the new building and that she had not been given an opportunity to prepare for credits she had a right to expect. Rev. J. L. S. Holtonan, speaking for Mrs. Daniel Murray of the Parent-Teacher's League, declared he no criticism to make of the general policy concerning promotions, but believed that Miss Lewis had not been given a fair opportunity to qualify. Clement B. Parker send a petition signed by fifty residents which stated the community is "shocked at the impending loss of Miss Lewis to the new Cook School and ex- pressed the view that "our children will suffer through her loss." Huver I. Brown, a former pupil of Miss Lewis, deplored the fact that "the human equation" is being ignored in the action of the board. He said any rule which leaves the human equation out of it is not sound. At the invitation of President Graham the following teachers told the board their opinions of the rule: Miss R. S, Netherlands, Miss M. I. Mason and Miss E. J. Jackson. These teachers expressed the view that the members of the Board of Examiners could hardly rate "personality of applicants" accurately. This item calls for a credit of 150 points out of a possible 1,000. Miss. Sheriff and Deputies Bailed Miss. Sheriff and Deputies Bailed CLARKSDALE, Miss., Dec. 28. —Indicted on charges of "failing to return the offender" in connection with the lynching or Lindsey Coleman after he had been acquitted by a jury, Dr. S.

Dec. 28.—Plena by a committee of Negro citizens for erection of a $20,000 monument at Thirty-fifth street and Grand Boulevard in memory of the 370th Infantry, Chicago regiment, were denied by the south park commission. The committee was headed by Ald. Louis H. Anderson 2d and four members of the legislature. The commissioners rejected the proposal by a tie vote of two to two. Commissioner John Bain was absent. President Edward J. Kelley, who voted against the project, explained that he opposed a memorial anywhere on a hooverd because of traffic obstruction.

H. TERRELL --- Had Been Ill for Past Four Years — Born in Charlotteville, Va. — Harvard Graduate WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 28. — Funeral services over the remains of Judge Robert H.

Judge Terrell was a Past Grand Master, a past master of Prince Hall Lodge, and an honorary thirty-third degree Scottish Rite Mason. The Masonic services were in charge of the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia, of which Charles F. Ford is grand master. Burial was at Harmony Cemetery. Speakers at the funeral included the Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor; the Rev. Starling W. Brown, the Rev. Walter Brooks, the Rev. F. I. A. A. Bonnett and John R. Hawkins. The death of Judge Terrell was called to the attention of Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by Charles H. Houston, who spoke briefly of the career of Judge Terrell. Attorney Houston, like Judge Terrell, is a graduate of Harvard University. As Judge Terrell had been a member of the local bar before his appointment as a judge, the Chief Justice directed the usual entry in the minutes of the court expressing the regret of the bench at his death. Chief Justice McCoy, who is president of the Harvard Club of Washington, declared that the career of Judge Terrell had been an honor to Harvard. While he had never practiced before the Municipal Court, the Chief Justice said he had always board praise of the honorable manner in which Judge Terrell conducted court. He said that the career of Judge Terrell had been one of which his family and friends are justly proud. Judge Terrell was born in Charlotteville, Virginia, November 25, 1557. He attended the public schools in Washington and received his preparatory education at Lawrence Academy, Groton, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University in 1584 with the degree of bachelor of arts and was one of seven honor men in a class of three hundred. He is said to be the first colored man ever to have taken part in a Harvard commencement exercise. Later he attended the Law School of Howard University, from which he received his law degree in 1888. Judge Terrell began his career as a teacher in 1834, becoming principal of the old M Street High School. He left the school system to enter government service and was employed in the Treasury Department for several years and reached the grade of a division chief. In 1893 he was admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia. For a period of five years he was associated with Major John R. Lynch, former member of Congress from Mississippi, in the practice of law under the firm name of Lynch and Terrell. He was a justice of the peace from 1902 to 1909. December 12, 1905. President Theodore Roosevelt appointed him a judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. He took the cath of office January 2, 1906. President Taft reappointed him January 11, 1910. President Wilson reappointed him April 24, 1914. This occasioned a bitter fight in the Senate over his nomination but he was confirmed. President Wilson again reappointed him on April 24, 1918. President Harding reappointed him on June 22, 1923. His present term would have expired in June, 1926. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell; two daughters, Mrs. Phyllis Terrell Golnes, of Washington, and Mrs. Mary Terrell Tancell, of Chicago; a half brother, William H. H.

Best Amusement Page in New York City Big Firm Offers Garland Anderson $20,000 if He Can Raise $10,000 Universal Appeal for Funds to Keep His Play Open Donations From Some of the City's Leading Men Until Such Time as It "Catches On" — Brings Garland Anderson, the bellhop playwright, who wrote "Appearances," the three-act drama which was produced on Broadway and received almost the unanimous praise of New York's critics, is making a public appeal for funds with which to reopen this most remarkable play, which shows the intellectual, cultured and spiritual side of the Negro as no other play in the history of the American stage has done. The play closed only for lack of funds to continue into the fourth week (it can be recalled that "Able's Irish Rose" had the same difficulty at the end of the third week), and now single handed this courageous young man is raising $30,000 to reopen this play, which means a forward step to every Negro in this country. The white press has given space to his appeal and David Balesco has headed the subscription list with $1,000 followed by Al Jolson with the same amount; Channing Pollick, James Weldon Johnson, Eugene Kinckle Jones, Florence Mills and many others are helping him, and the Amsterdam News believes the perpetuation of "Appearances" will do much toward solving the race problem and invites everyone to help swell a fund to be raised by this paper, headed by Mrs. Sadie Warren, who gave her check for $100. Mall checks or money orders to "Appearances Fund," care of Amsterdam News, 2293 7th avenue, New York City. The list will be printed from week to week. On Monday afternoon one of the most widely known firms in Greater New York made Anderson an offer of $20,000 if he is able to raise $10,000. With the response with which his appeal is being met it is almost safe to conclude that the Negro playwright will get the money with which to carry out the idea which is behind his efforts in "Appearances." "Three Eddies" Hit of Lafayette Theatre Bill Theresa Brooks and Jazz Band, With Simms and Wiley. Also Open Vaudeville for the Week. The Lafayette Theatre returned to vaudeville and pictures this week and a good house greeted the offerings. The "Three Eddies." just back from Europe where they scored big with the "Chocolate Kiddies," took the honors of the opening on Monday night and virtually stopped the show. Simms and Wiley and Theresa Brooks and Jazz Band are also on the bill, which was opened by an aerobatic Japanese artist. The "Lucky Seven" also had a place on the card which replaces the other form of attractions at this house for the time being. Shows are run to twelve o'clock, a big picture being shown at the conclusion of the regular performance. A new wrinkle which did not seem to meet with favor (at least new to us, not having frequented this house in months), with patrons leaving the house at midnight being shunted into the alley, the doors in the lobby being hastily closed by employees as scores were about to exit via the main entrance whence they had entered. Lesson in Life of Moses Dr. H. H. Proctor Calls Him the Greatest Figure of Antiquity The Rev. Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of the Nazarez, Congregational Church, Herkimer street and Troy avenue, Brooklyn, in his sermon last Sunday drew lessons for the passing year from the life of Moses. "When God wanted to prepare a land for the cradle of the Christ Child," he said. "He chose Moses, who after the discipline of the years led his people to the border of the Holy Land. As a due to his character his contemporaries called him a man of tide. In his mountain-like character rose three peaks, the physical, the mental and the spiritual, making him the greatest figure of antiquity. "His greatest contribution to the world was the expression of the chief element of his character, that of his religion. He brought religion from the swaddling clothes of superstition and placed it in the realm of the reign of law. Moses made religion a practical thing, touching every detail of life. With the death of the year we should ask ourselves question if our religion is practical and helpful." THEATRES, DANCES, ENTERTAINMENTS, Etc. Anderson Appeals for "Appearances" Manager Eckert Offers "A Child of the Prairie" at Franklin Theatre This Feature, With Tom Mix, Another of the Special Reels New Being Shown at This Popular House Few stories have been written around Tom Mix super-star of the screen, which provide as capable a vehicle for the talented and gifted artist as "A Child of the Prairie." In action, suspense, in the cumulative episodes dealing with love, hate and revenge rise to a pitch from which the audience is seldom dissuaded. The picture is inspired from the first flash to the last indulgence. The action begins in that unfamiliar territory of Western plains when the traffic formed an unbreakable chain of covered wagons heading onward to the country of golden opportunities, when men sought to wrest from the very bowels of the earth its hidden treasure. Here, in this barren country has come Tom, seeking his opportunity and by square dealing, which, too, has earned him the reputation of "Square-Doal Tom," acquires a fortune. He is a devoted father, a loyal husband and hopes in time when he is rich to return and give his wife and child the benefit of everything money can buy. His wife, "Blonde" Nell, however, is impatient and discontented with her lot and listens to the seductive but false words of "Slippery Jim" Watson, the town's assayer. Tom, anxious to attend his brother's wedding in Red Gulch, a town several miles distant from his ranch, again pleads with his wife to attend but Nell refuses. If the truth wore known she is anxious to see Jim, who watches from his mount as Tom departs. Jim is anxious to get a line on Tom's movements, and back in Red Gulch suggests a same of "Tennessee" Tom who is waiting for "Tennessee" Jim will before the wedding. Jim loses heavily and gives Tom his L.O.K. Tom tells him he can problem it by asking a good proposition but emphasizes that "it must be on the level." Follow the story at the Frank In Theatre this Friday and Saturday. "A Verdict From Heaven" at the New Douglas One or the most thrilling photoplays seen here in many months is "A Norfolk From Heaven" or "The People Vs. Nancy Preston," which will be shown at the New Douglas Theatre Sunday and Monday, January 2 and 4. Marguerite De La Motte and John Howers, the featured players, give spirited portraits of crook rays and they win not only the hearty sympathy but the appreciation of all who see this extraordinary picture. The film is one of exceptional thrill and appeal. The theme deals with the efforts of several underworld characters to reform. They are humpered by detectives, accused of crime of which they are innocent, and while the hero, John Howers, is returned to prison, the heroe, played by Miss La Motte, escapes. The two are finally brought together and find happiness. "A Vendict From Heaven" is a story of sin, sacrifice and violent crime, athlete with thrills and emotion. A rapid submission or thrillin' situations, plunging one NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, SDAY, DEC. 30 1928 About Things Theatrical They Certainly Like Buddy Gilmore's Trap Drum Work Late Jim Europe's Drummer Boy Is Going Just as Big on the Other Side as He Did Here Years ago when the tango craze was at its highest and the late Vernon Castle and his wife stood at the very top of the dance profession Buddy Gilmore was looked upon as the leading trap drum artist in the country. So much so that at the many places on Broadway and in the homes of America's wealthiest people where the late Jim Europe appeared with his musicians, Baddy always managed to hold the attention of all within earshot of his work. It is customary with the coming of the New Year for a number of our dear friends in the newspaper game to imitate the O'Fays and attempt to give a resume of the year going out, with an added attempt of forecasting the future in the theatrical world. The colorless statistical report came in from Washington and took up just enough space to place it in the class of something so boresome only the writer of the article and about three performers read it. To us it is all bunk to attempt to hand the people in these parts a lot of trash about how Subway Sal made good in Philadelphia's high smelling fish market and how she will be a riot on the Tobey time in the coming year. Some years ago Vernon Castle made Buddy a present of a home in Jamaica, Long Island, and now we have no less a person than the Hon. William Leeds making Buddy an offer of another place on Long Island. A despatch to the Chicago Tribune from Paris the other day brought the following story from France which will interest a number of friends and acquaintances of Buddy on this side of the big pond. As we look back to the past year we try to find something elevating in the theatrical world that would leave its mark and an impression for the future. As we look back we only see the bungles made by two groups, which had an opportunity for lasting fame on Broadway, but which they threw to the winds because of their narrowness. They themselves incompetent to produce something that would have kept all hands going, they stubbornly refused to call in people of their own hue, who could have helped them to contribute something worth while, and the result is that we enter the New Year with bum hopes for something big on Broadway in the near future, with one possible exception. It would seem that young Leeds came under the spell of Buddy's artful manipulation of the stucks, and this is the story as printed in the Chicago paper: "There is a delighted though puzzled colored drummer in a Montmartre cafe tonight. His name is Buddy Gilmore. He is well known in New York, and his trickful drumsticks have made him a noted figure in Paris cafe. Two nights ago William (Bill) Leeds, whose fortune is boundless now that his mother, the Princess Anastasia, is dead, dropped into the cafe in which Buddy is drumming. Billy had the urge to play Buddy's drum, which he did, pronouncing it the best drum on which he had ever rattled a stick. When the boat train was pulling out of the station to night Buddy arrived pulling and carrying the drum, which he gave to young feeds, who has also considerable fame in his own right as the husband of Princess Xenia of Greece. Billy took the drum and went Buddy one better. Looking about us we see no hope in the coming year for anything elevating on the colored stage. Nude shows, the Charleston, with which we are now surreptitious, and those rotten and suggestive blues will continue to hold full sway. As we wear the next milestone and look back it is with regret at the passing of another year which saw us without the inspiring attempts made by Robert Levy and his Quality Amusement Corporation at the Lafayette Theatre after Mrs. Maria C. Downs, of the New Lincoln Theatre, had paved the way for the drama. During the past year not one show that could vie with even "Baby Blues," a show by Rogers and Roberts, that for real worth surpassed all the trash with which Negroes were regaled during the old year. "When you come to New York, Buddy," he said in the presence of the Tribune representative, "I have a house in Long Island that is really a palace set in a thousand acres of ground which is yours." Just then the train pulled out, and Buddy wants to know whether he is a prospective guest or the owner of the Leeds palace. Until such time as we are in a position to stretch out and make an appeal for national support, we believe the policy of this paper is to serve the people in our community first, and with such an idea in mind we refuse to take up good space telling readers about some two-by-four little dimp in the darkwoods of Tennessee "presenting" the kind of impossible things we have witnessing by those comfed comedians being brought here to entertain people that have stormed the doors of that same Lafayette Theatre to see Negroes rising to great heights in dramas and other plays written by some of the world's leading authors. We are more concerned with the fact that Lew Leslie, having enjoyed an opportunity to give Broadway something that would bring him as much glory as those performers with whom he can surround himself, has failed to take seriously the suggestion of employing such a man as Alex Rogers to furnish a vehicle for his star that would give the little lady the opportunity which she craves. Hundreds of Children Entertained at Theatre Renaissance Theatre Resounds With Happy Laughter and Cheers of Youngsters at Christmas Performance. Nearly 1600 Harriet, ladies rowed the Renaissance Theatre Saturday morning, the guests of the theatre at the annual free Christmas performance ordered by the theatre to the children of harlem under the auspices of the New York Tatercornels Association and the Teachers' Association. Mrs Mabel Koeaton of the Tatercornels Association and Mrs. McNichols, president of the Tatercornels Association, were in charge of the kiddes. "Peter Pan" was the attraction which the management arranged to show, and judging from the pleased cells of the happy children, it was the bleed picture for their enjoyment. Their heavy exclamations and their gladdened communications were sufficient, toward for the generosity of the theatre management in making it possible for the children to enjoy the day. In addition to the picture a marionette show was given, which was also hugely enjoyed. Just for good measure, the theatre provided absolutely free a big box of Christmas candy for every child and a big orange and apple to boot. The Public School Stand of P. S. 139 was on hand, and their playing added to the charm and pleasure of the day. We extend best wishes for a Happy New Year to Mrs. Downs, with hearty thanks for maintaining her policy of showing the best pictures in conjunction with the other part of the bills, for half the time some of those so-called revues are tiresome, and with no fault of the management of the theatre. Last week we sat in the theatre and saw a passive audience patiently waiting for the picture, while one of the revues we have in mind held the boards. The most they did was to present a number of good-looking young women trying to do the Charleston, with the hokum most of hokum comedy sandwiched in, and if that bunch of chorines could sing, then the Metropolitan Opera House is doing an injustice in not allowing us to take Caruso's place. Let us also thank Mr. Schiffman of the Lafayette for giving us surcease with good vaudeville and pictures until we gain enough strength to again sit through those enlarged "tabs," passing for revues and musical comedies. To Mr. Charity of the Renaissance Theatre we must bow low in appreciation for the efforts he has been putting forth in giving to Harlem something above the ordinary in those Sunday concerts. Here we have the laudable attempt of musicians to give inspiring music to those who can appreciate something better than "There's Another Mule in Mah Stall" and the filth which has left its siench in the nostrils of a community which can stand something done in its behalf, in "spite of" if not "because of" the lack of enough intelligence to support a real community theatre. G. HAYWOOD VIOLIN STUDIO. "If the colored people of Harlem," wrote Miss Gertrude Hall to us in 1919, "showed their deep appreciation for the Quality Amusement Corporation, as heavily populated as the section is with us, the theatre would be packed every night. So do not fear to do your duty. Whatever you do do with your might; things done by halves are never done right." Miss Hall, by the way, happened to have been one of our correspondents who never failed to lend encouragement to the telling of the truth as we saw it. Yes, maybe it will be a Happy New Year we are about to enter, but we ought to truly take a thought for something better and until that time when we can truthfully rise to praise, we are going to continue to tell the truth about things as we see them, caring a whit where the chiss may fall. In the meantime, with the junk written by so-called "diplomats" of her field, who will continue to go right al We are among the few who read that book by William Hannibal Thomas without getting sore. In conclusion it is refreshing to note that Garland Anderson is receiving encouragement in trying to return his play, "Appenances," to Broadway. This attempt is the exception which we believe we can rise to and ask the support of our readers. We have always held that no other race in this country possesses a better background for the true expression of dramatic art than the Negro, for running through the time the Negro has been part and parcel of the American nation we find enough of pathos and humor, to say nothing of thrills, to run for two hours and a half in any dramatic contribution. Not until such time as we can get before the white people of this country in our own dramas will we be accepted seriously, for the drama will furnish the vehicle for a true recital of the sufferings endured by our ancestors and the hopes and aspirations of the present day generation. Garland Anderson, we believe, shares this idea, and to such an extent he has made it his life's work and we can but wish him success in his endeavors. Fifth Anniversary to Be Fittingly Observed at Show House Invitations Extended to Those Born in January so That Management Can Share Joy of the Occasion With Patrons and Friends. During the month of January the Renaultsance Theatre will elaborate its fifth anniversary, and in keeping, with that birthday celebration the management invites every person whose birthday occurs in January to be the guest of the theatre on that date. All that is necessary is to call at the Renaultsance Theatre box office and leave your name and address and the date of your birthday. Tickets will be mailed you for your use on that date. In this way, it is expected that the entire community will celebrate with the theatre its anniversary. White men in a position to invest the kind of money it would take to produce an up-to-the-minute musical comedy show have thrown up their hands, believing it impossible to find colored men of ability to furnish something above the ordinary, and all because they placed their faith in those who had a hearing and failed miserably, because of the impossibility to always lack out. In the days of Williams and Walker three successive hits were produced, something which proved that "luck" gave way to ability, and Europe and America saw some of the finest things ever done in the theatrical world by colored men. Five years ago the Renaissance Theatre was built, the first place of its kind to be erected, owned and operated by colored people. The same Realty Company, owner of the building, of which Wm. H. Reach is president; Clero Charity, vice-president treasurer, and Joseph Sweeny, secretary, is still the owner of the theatre. The original, policy of showing only the best pictures has been right adhered to and the theatre has now become one of the most popular in Harlem. For the opening picture, Douglas Fletcher in "Dion Q" will be the attraction on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, January 2. 5. Following that will come Pola Neri in "Flower of the Nisir," Corinne Griffith in "Classified," Rudolph Valentine in "Cobra" and others, a complete list of, which Spiller School of Music W. N.

New Year's night is the real night for the annual cruise of the good old boat, and an occasion when thousands take advantage of the opportunity to start the New Year in a manner which leaves them prepared to meet all obstacles with a smile during the remainder of the year. Allie Wilson and his orchestra have been preparing a special program of dance music for this winter cruise, and if we can point to the shadows of this coming event as an indication of the desires of the people for this holiday night, then it will be safe to predict that the boat will be taxed to capacity when she pulls out from her dock at the New Star Casino. ensive Drive On to Wipe Out Defeat at Manhattan on New Year's Night Renaissance Five, Now Champions of the World, All Set for Big Game With Italian Catholic Five—Berlenbach's All Stars on Tail End With Noted Prize Fighter Witnessing Defeat of His Team The big crowd at the Renaissance Casino last Sunday night gave Paul Berlenbach a big hand when he arrived to personally direct the charge of his All Stars against the world's champion five, known as the Renaissance Five—and the latter team gave Paul Berlenbach's team Hail Columbia. But this was to be expected. A team that had the week previous taken into camp the greatest aggregation of basketball players in the world was not going to allow even a champion prize fighter's team to enter their balliwick and take from them something they had been aiming for during the past few years. conducter. Officials: Referee, Reed (Tenn. three and four), Taylor, Thur. 20, Nine ballets So Paul, who will most likely meet our own Tiger Flowers in the near future, was forced to concede that it was asking too much of him to whip this fast-going team of colored basketball players at this time, and it was in the best of good fellowship that he bade "Boh" Douglas and his players goodbye at the conclusion of the contest which the Renalissance won by a score of 41-29. "Fat" Jenkins, not satisfied to have played every man on every inch of the floor space at the Renalissance the week previous made the closing year's greatest shot during the game and brought he house to its feet with wild applause. For more than ten years cousins had been one of the most dependable players in the game and even at such times as when he has been on the losing side he is always putting forth his best efforts. "Hanky" Summers, the new acquisition to the Renaissance lineup, was sent to center and held his position during the entire game, this being the first time he has served in Scranton's place for an entire contest. He is acquitted himself in a profitable manner and will be heard from in the future. It is true that all roads will lead to Manhattan Casino on New Year's night when the Renaissance Five meet the Italian Catholic Club in that return game, then we want to add to the statement by saying that they are even going to Manhattan Casino across vacant lots and over the roofs of nearby houses, for the game is one that carries a great deal of interest in that these white boys are the only ones boasting of no defeat of the Renaissance in Hailey. Stretch! Mooran, the crack white player, standing six feet tight, finishes, and the only musket ball player with a musket, will be sent in by the Italians in an attempt to wrest the glory of defeting the flenascence after the latter's great victory over the Celtics. People patronizing this game will see one of the hardest fought basketball games ever staged in this city as both teams will be fighting for the honors which means much to the professional team in these days. Brooklyn-Jamaica Marathon Course Agreed Upon Recently Start of Big Race Washington's Birthday Will Be From 19th Regt. Armory, Corner Sumner and Jefferson Avenues, Brooklyn. The course for the Brooklyn-Jamaica Marathon, to be held in conjunction with the indoor athletic games of the 13th Regiment at the Armory, Sumner and Jefferson avenues, Brooklyn, on Washington's Birthday afternoon, was definitely decided upon yesterday following a tour of inspection of the 20-mile route by a subcommittee of the 13th Athletic Committee. The start of the race will be made in the Armory, and the runners will complete one lap on the indoor track before going out on the roads they will run along Jefferson ave. venue, to 168th street, Jasmin Hillside avenue, to Myrtle to Fresh Food road and re Armory on Putnam ave. east mile of the race the track within the Popular Manager of Renaissance Five Has Donated Trophy for Amateur Basketball League An aggregation of young basketball players has formed what in the future will be known as the colored eastern basketball league. This is considered one of the best moves made to place amateur basketball on a sound footing among our younger generation. The movement is receiving able support from the managers of the champion Renaissance Five, and great things are expected in the future. Mr. Douglas personally donated a trophy, contests for which will be played as preliminary to the big Sunday night games. Officials of the League are: R. Randolph, president; W. Carter, vice president; W. Price, financial secretary; E. Richardson, treasurer; H. Taylor, recording secretary. Teams comprising the League are the Buffaloes, Majestic, Sunrest, Metro Diamonds, and Jolly Fellows Stag A. C. Members of these teams must be bona-fide amateurs. Howard University Team Wins Close Game From Philadelphia Flashes PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 26.--The Howard University basketball team scored a decisive victory over the Philadelphia Flashes of Philadelphia, 25 to 24, before a large crowd which packed the Waltz Dream Auditorium here Friday evening, Dec. 18. Coach Burry's men had no easy time subduing their opponents, for the game was close throughout. At half time the score was 17-16 in favor of the Flashes. In the second period the better all-round work of the Howard University boys gave them a slight edge on the Maroon and Gray, which finally ended with the record of ten straight victories being stopped. Spears, Lawton and Coutes starred for the college boys, while Davis and Ransome held up the Maroon and Gray machine. Both teams were handicapped by the slippery floor, which made it hard to pivot and shoot, and in the first half first one team would score, followed by a basket by the other. The precision of the University team's forwards in the second half, supported by the guards, gave Howard a well-earned victory, which was a sting indeed to the Flashes, who thought they were to have a walk-away. Reed's officiating was good. Howard Flashes Lawton L. F. Davis Coates R. F. Ransome Spears C. Shields Simpson L. G. Graves Berry R. G. Harvey ton, 3; Coates, 4; Berry, 1; Simpson, 1.

We reproduce it at a most appropriate time, many will admit, and after the events of the past two weeks can rest assured that many will fail to agree with Posey. Saye the Pittsburgh wonder: "Romio Dougherty, of the New York Amsterdam News, is working hard to put over a Loendi-Renalissance game in New York. There is no doubt that Dougherty's intentions are O. K. There is no animosity between Loendi and Renalissance players or management and while neither club has approached the other for a game, there is this to be remembered: Loendi won the National Championship by defeating the recognized champions at Pittsburgh and New York, since that Loendi has not lost a game in New York and they have defeated Newlew, has never been defeated in Pittsburgh, Spartan, Renalissance, Commonwealth, with the closest margin being four points. It is True Loendi has been defeated away from home, but never with their full lineup in the game, except in one game and that was in the West. Loendi or Loendi are still champions and recognized as such in every city in the country. Even New York knows Loendi are recognized colored champs and until a club beats them in a two game series they will continue to be champs. Despite Renalissance's great team, on paper, there is no one in Pittsburgh who will believe Renalissance can defeat Loendi until they have done so. Pittsburgh has been highly touted clubs come to Pittsburgh before and go down to defeat in one-sided games. Renalissance are champions of New York, but Loendi is willing to give them a chance to be National champions by coming to Pittsburgh and defeating Loendi and then going to New York and doing it again, but that job is too much for the present Renalissance combination and the players and manager know it." --- the great Cummley Posey the eldest son of William the great William, he never won day to Cumberland play during the war of disputing at a championship for us to make "Job" Long challenge that a sport town in a basketball team three or four of us as a basketball team is a touch larger than a halls set aside of meat the famous of the famed a ball in the position I do asking to you is honest in a week. Oh, part that we do of the Homer has shown. For even the baseball team the basketball team the greatest resided between ver bad, for the dynamite to make them live long and the extra similar to the season and we see more. "Do I returned to the victory over very much and in the wild down an item the little assid from many property to give our in on Man coming in. Rung has he has game that me the country were sitting light he is reminding the pun won the National malsave women Vap, those few words of the great Cumberland Posey found us well and in the best of spirit. Had Posey the eighth idea that the Renaissance Five would defeat the world's greatest aggregation of basketball players known as the Celtics, he never would have penned those few lines at least not at this time. Be that as it may, we say to Cumberland and all Pittsburgh that we here in New York are today sitting pretty with the real champions. and If Pittsburgh is destroys of disputing the claim we are ready to meet her in defence of the championship sitting from the things besieged alliance. It is not for too many overtures to Pittsburgh. I am persuised by Manager Toby Douglas to receive with all the courtesy, in the world any challenge that Pittsburgh might feel like sending our way. New York is the biggest sport team in the country. The Renaissance Five is the biggest basketball team in the country. This team goes out every week to meet three or four of the best white teams in the country and their importance as a basketball unit can be seen in the manner by which they are accepted by the whites. The O'Fay dalles play them up regularly. We also boast of the largest neutral court in the world, and there before a much larger audience than Pittsburgh can accommodate in any of the halls set aside for the use of Negroes at Pittsburgh we are willing to meet the best of the famous Loendi team of Pittsburgh, but considering the position we occupy in the Empire State of the Union, it would be asking too much for us to challenge the Pittsburghians. If Posey is honest in his claims we look for his challenge within the next two weeks. Oh, hell read these few lines, alright, alright. Incidentally we might point that we are in receipt of a personal letter from Posey. As leader of the Homestead Greys, the world's greatest Negro basketball player has shown that he is above the ordinary athlete in mental ability. For them being a "has been." Posey has been successfully picturing his baseball teams for many seasons, and in Winter he takes his players on the basketball court and in the gymnasium. For them being lost in the land. Make no mistake, we have the greatest respect for those Pittsburghers and if a game can be arranged between them and the Renaissance things are going to be at fever level, for they have stumped us in the past and they carry enough dynamite to make them dangerous in the future. We are thankful to have lived long enough to see the interest in our basketball teams revived to the extent of making another Pittsburgh-New York game possible. Manager Jerry Angliss has also plans to quit basketball this season and we would be very disappointed not to see him in action once more. "Darling, we are growing old, silver threads among the gold." Herb minsut as yet returned to sanctiones after the wild and hilarious celebration of the victory over the Celtics by the Renalssance Five. Unless we are very much mistaken Manhattan Casino is going to be the scene of another wild demonstration New Year's night if the colored team should win from the Italian Catholic Clubs and this because the basketball fans assist from making merry or sad to the celebration. The team will be able to take the satisfaction over the victory that came to the race after many years of trying. Congratulations started to pour in on Manager Douglas from midnight of Dec. 29 and they are still coming in. Regardless of what the future might hold in store for Douglas he has raped the reward of many years of faithful service in a game that meant a great deal to thousands of Negroes in this part of the country when St. Christopher, Alpha, Spartan, Smart Set and the lesser lights held sway. In concluding these games, the team will be able to take the satisfaction of Pittsburgh. Paula might have won the National championship from the Commonwealth, but not from the Renalssance Five. Yeh, they won the National title, but the Renalssance won the WORLD'S TITLE. --- in the Flowers stay night carried in the receipts taker and deputy that McTigane the Garden on lid after witness blind the actio not believe it r such a thing The decision handed down in the Flowers McTigue fight at Madison Square Garden last Wednesday night carried a taint to the gifts bought with the money accruing from the receipts of the Christmas Fund. We refuse to believe that the banker and department store owner acting as judge, for this fight believed that McTigue won. It would be impossible to imagine any two men at the Garden on the above night handing in the verdict these gentlemen did after witnessing that fight, if there were not some ulterior motive behind the action. The question, what was behind this action? We do not believe it was race prejudice. Flowers was too far in front even for such a thing to play any part at the conclusion of the fight. We again alluded that Tiger Flowers was delicately robbed of that fight. We wonder if Bill White, of the Chicago Defender, such a rat somewhere in that beautious abode of swain? During the Godfrey-Burke fight Bill told us he thought he would go on home and when we looked around for him when Tiger and Mike entered the ring he had disappeared. Coming on the heels of the dissatisfaction registered on the decision of the McTigue-Flowers bout, the announcement that Jesse McMahon, matchmaker at the Garden, is thinking of resigning will cause quite a furore. McMahon has always played fair with those with whom he has any kind of relations, and it is evident to many that his hands are tied. For the first time since Tex Mickard has been in charge of Madison Square Garden, tickets for a big fight were mailed to the leading Mahon and while we would regret seeing him lose, whatever material gain he has been drawing at the Garden, still we would much prefer having him back at the Commonwealth. Up here名名 ties his hands and he has successfully operated the Commonwealth Sport Club to the satisfaction of thousands of fans. Recalling the many good things W. Rollo Wilson has been saying about George Godfrey, we were somewhat surprised at the hum fight put up by George against his much smaller opponent, Martin Burke. Judging from the way Godfrey fought we have come to the conclusion that had Burke a stronger fighting heart he would have plastered the "Shadow aplenty in spite of the disparity in weight, the thousands of injuries he sustained that if Godfrey ever lucky enough to get a fight with Harry Wills, it would be simple for the loser's end, nothing more, nothing less. Well, we have seen the much vaunted "Christmas Issues" of the boys in the queue and again sit back with a feeling of satisfaction when we recall the issues which we put out in the past. We use to thank our many friends for the support they have given us during the last year and can assure all hands that if we are still in the same during the next twelve months we will try to be worthy of the confidence displayed in us by so many. And if we are still in the hands, the living Satan in Sables Underlined for Big Showing at the New Lincoln Theatre Magnificent Sets Used in Lowell Sherman's New Photoplay, Coming to Harlem Thursday One of the most spectacular and novel sets ever conceived for motion pictures was used by James Flood, director of "Satain in Sables," the Warner Bros. classic of the Screen, starring Lowell Sherman, which is opening at the Lincoln Theatre on Thursday for a four-day run. It measured, some 125 feet long and about 75 feet wide, but was laid out in more of a rectangular shape with wide curves set in the side of the walls, each one of these housing a dining table while the host and his special guests occupied the main one. In the center was a highly polished dance floor. The panelling of the walls was set off with fresco work of a trifle darker shade than the main color scheme and the entire room was a symphony of blue and salmon shades. The place depicted the dining room of a Russian nobleman, the role played by Lowell Sherman, and the combination of carrying out the Russian idea of settings intermingled with these of French necessitated careful planning. Ernest Belcher, conductor of a large dancing school in Hollywood, furnished the ballet and Russian dancers. A Russian stringed orchestra was placed in the background to give an added foreign touch to the scene. At the main table, where Sherman entertains, were the pick of Hollywood's beauties, selected after many hours of interviewing. These innumerable little details that audiences know so little about, are really an all-important part in the making of a good picture. Bradley King is the author of "Satan in Bables," which has an allstar supporting cast for Lowell Sherman, and includes the following players: Pauline Garon, popular screen flapper, as a sunbeam gamine of Paris and the means of reforming the dissolute prince; Gertrude Astor, as the discarded mistress of the prince, a study in scorned beauty; John Harron, as the prince's young brother; Francis J. MacDonald, Frank Butler Otto Hoffman, Frances Raymond, Richard Bostford, Richard Barry, and Jon Alvarado. Sunshine Sammy Delights Kiddies on Christmas Day COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 31.—The appearance of Sunshine Sammy, famous juvenile of the "Our Gang" comedy films, before children of the Franklin County Children's Home and Franklin County Tuberculosis Sanatorium on Christmas morning marked the high spots of a series of Yule-tide parties for county charges arranged through Mrs. L. C. H. Breenneman. The noted entertainer, playing at the Dunbar Theatre last week, gave his services in this connection through the courtesy of W. C. T. Ayres, manager of the Columbus Weekly News and active in civic and social affairs. Hubbard Seeks Permission to Use Armory Floor CINCINNATI, O. Dec. 30—DeHart Hubbard, noted athlete, now junior secretary of the Ninth Street branch of the Y. M. C. A. visited the government building Tuesday to get permission from Col. Simon Ross, Assistant U. S. District Attorney, who is in charge of the O. N. G. Armory, to use the armory floor for running practice in the afternoons. Hubbard said he plans to enter several meets this winter, including one at Paterson, N. J., on January 9, under the auspices of the Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association of that city. Seasiders Strengthen Lead In Association by Defeating St. Paul Basketeers, 40-20 By THOMAS W. YOUNG. HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 26.—Hampton advanced another peg in the race for Association supremacy when a tiger from the wilds of Lawrenceville failed to break through the cage and a certain Seasider clan ran amuck, doubling their opponents' score of 20 white St. Paul's lads looked on in confusion. Another face took the limelight today as twice-elected Captain Chester R. Jones recorded six baskets to take high point honors with 12. Jones was a mainstay in Hampton's protective, often dislocating St. Paul's plays which looked like inevitable goals. Amis, of the Tigers, has a hand out for his apportionment of plaudits, and Amis deserves them, for, almost single-handed, he accounted for over half of his team's points. This versatility forward scored five field goals and one free throw, often shooting under fire. The Seasider nucleus, Hargrove, comes close behind Amis with three shots and four free tries for a total of 10 points. Dimitrius but dangerous "Shorty" Lambright was next down the line with four baskets and one foul shot. Robinson sank a couple of long ones for the Tigers, white Bannister and Dean, an ex-Hampton man who substituted for Nelson, guarded well. The guarding and passing of "Cutie" Brown for the Seasiders was especially brilliant and worthy of mention. In an exciting preliminary the Seniors defeated the Freshmen by a count of 9-3.

Fellow made to the police and in three women activists into report that Hylens calmed arrests in farmhouse street Brooklyn. "Doctor" Jerry Hulmes, a derivative man of dark complexion, who plans to be a descendant of a Mihawk Indian albidian, was arrested yesterday in the New Jersey avenue court in Brooklyn on a charge of practicing medicine without a license, following an exhaustive investigation made by the police in the Canarsie precinct, with the aid of three women detectives from Manhattan headquarters into report that Hulmes had been performing "magical curses" in his farmhouse at 853 East Ninety-fourth street, Brooklyn. The farmhouse, a dilapidated structure of considerable age, is surrounded by a vast lot covering several city blocks in a sparsely populated section of Canarsie. The farm, which includes a stable, said they made several visits and several smaller buildings, is dressed as poor women and escorts at the intersection of East 94th and Detective William W. Anfret and Foster avenue, and ad person of the Canarsie precinct, joining an enmilment on which are the trails of the Long Island railroad's Manhattan Beach divi- Holmes was held in jail half by Magistrate Harry Bale for examination January 12. The specific charge is violation of Section 174 of the Public Health law. According to the women detectives, who said they consulted the "doctor" after plainclothes man had been unable to gain admission to the farmhouse. Holmes professed to make the "blind eye" the lunge walk, the sick well, and to every authority he had to host" the plainclothes "the patients." In a tragic chamber heavily ornamented with religious pictures and articles, and affected his social circles by means of "charmus" and "apelles" they said. Capt. Thomas Wynne, who was recently transferred from Manhattan to command the Canarsie station, said that while he was making a tour of the precinct he noticed that a large crowd, composed mostly of women, and the majority of whom were Negroes, gathered in front of the weather-beaten farmhouse. Observation for several successive days showed that this throng seemed to be present continuously for 24 hours a day, and that on some occasions almost two hundred persons could be seen about the farm grounds. A detective sent to investigate reported that he had been met at the door by a Negro attendant who politely but firmly denied him admittance. A Negro detective was then assigned to call on the "doctor." He reported that he had likewise been refused entry, but had been told by persons waiting outside that the house was "very mysterious" and was occupied by a "magical doctor," Captain Wynne said the Negro detective seemed much impressed and somewhat leath to return to the place. Women detectives were asked for and Mrs. Mary Hamilton, in charge of the women's division. differentiative man of dark com- pendant of a Mohawk In- partment in the New Jersey a charge of practising medi- cine an exhaustive investiga- tion Camasie District, with the from Manhattan headquarters had been performing "magic" at 853 East Ninety-fourth offered Captain Wayne the assistance of Mrs. Elizabeth Helms, Mrs. Madeline O'Neill and Miss Maud Lester, of her staff. The woman said they made several visits dressed as poor women and escorted by Detective William W. Anderson of the Canarsie precinct, who posed as Mrs. Helms' brother, before they were admitted by the attendant. They declared that the attendant issued numbered tickets assisting applicants to their turn, and entered the names in a large ledger in numerical order. Holmes was arrested November 1 on a warrant obtained following the investigation, but several postponements of the arraignment were obtained. According to the police, he admitted the practices and contended he was "working for the good of humanity." The police say he also claims to be a veterinary surgeon and has in his stable four race horses which he exercises on a crude track, equipped with hurdle barriers, which encircles the farm. A number of Negroes are employed on the premises, according to the police. Mr. and Mrs. F. S.

We would be most timely in this season of the year. This organization was founded and organized by Howard M. Scott, one of Brooklyn's leading and prosperous citizens. Since its organization four years ago it has achieved remarkable success in the rapid growth of its membership. In this society there is no age limit; the doors are open always to those who wish to make with it; both the strong and healthy, of good moral character, and giving an opportunity to our old fathers and mothers to come in where their association, with the society is much appreciated and where the aged can be cared for in sickness and death. In the midst of this astonishing success of the organization much credit is due and is given to the various presiding officers who worked artfully, putting forth all the energy they possessed to make this Lodge one of the best ever organized. The Lodge convenes for business on the 1st and 3rd Monday every month, and no matter how pressing its business may be, it is suspended for a while for the purpose of rendering praises to God and giving Him thanks for His wonderful protection and guidance. On Monday night (the 7th instant), an excellent business and spiritual meeting was held, after which the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: Rev. Edward T. Black, Worthy Superior; Sister Alice Jones, Worthy Vice-Superior; Sister Margaret Anderson, Worthy Recording Secretary; Sister Louise Wilkenson, Worthy (Corresponding Secretary; Brother Neal Moore, Worthy Financial Secretary; Sister Eveline Moore, Worthy Treasurer; Sister Victoria Bailey, Worthy Charity Treasurer; Brother Robt. Adams, Worthy Chaplain; Sister Julia Bassale, Worthy R. H. Conductor; Sister Purcel, Worthy L. H.

C. have interested themselves in behalf of James A. Garnes, who is in the Queen's Jail in Low Island City under an indictment of grand larceny in the second. For- mer Vongessman John J. Fitzgerald of this city Saturday presented to Acting District Attorney James A. Dayglen the request from the two former secretaries that the case be investigated. They said the man was formerly a guard in the Treasury Department in Washington and had held other positions where he could have stolen, but his record was without a blight. On Nov. 17, while tarnished was in a restaurant he was accused by the police of burglary with stealing $124 from a purse belonging to her. The police say that when they searched Garnes they found $102 hidden in his clothes and $22 in the pages of a magazine he was carrying. Jamiaca Man Held on Charge of Robbery Joseph Ellis, 22, colored, of 352 South street, Jamaica, appeared Monday in Jamaica on a charge of robbery. Ellis was arrested last week and hold in $2,500 bail. Just before noon Saturday a colored man entered the store of Frank Guardino at 122 South street, Jamaica, and, placing an open knife at Guardino's throat, ordered him to put up his hand. The man searched Guardino's pockets and taking his money ran from the store. Detectives Flattery, Mangan, Hoyer and Kendall answered the call. When they arrived at the scene of the holiday they were given a description of the handit. The detectives searched several houses in the neighborhood and in one of them found Ellis. They alloge they found two five and twelve one dollar bills folded in the man's pocket in a manner which had been described by Guardino.
