SECTION ONE HAYES RECITAL MAY BE MARRED BY DISORDER Colorful News "Movies" BY THE CAMERAMAN New Year's Dreams JUST before the Old Year we departed we dozed off into a weird dream. We dreamed we were on a broad thoroughfare in Africa, named Garvey Boulevard, as lively as Lenox avenue, New York; Beale avenue, Memphis, and Indiana avenue, Chicago, all in one. A huge parade was in progress, for it was Dedication Day for the City of Scipio Africanus. In a giant reviewing stand the Mayor Marcus Garvey ind his official guests of concert, while in the far distance, led by a resonant band, the cavalcade of celebrants, with lofty banners, had be- come the slow march as the band played "Save Your Sor- row or Tomorrow." As this line of march approached, we could see the faces of the michele. There was Bill Matthews who a banner of the U. N. I. A. turpition, under which appeared the simile de sentence: "You made miracle. I am today." Next there was hub, hard in hand, Emmett Scott was Perry Howard, who were singing that lovable old song: "Comes, comades, ever since we were born." Emmett's banner hove the single line: "Halvett et Roan, multis procs dimmiscr: whie De Perry's banner said: "Silver T reads Among the Gold." Jon D. Gainey have into sight. He was a lulllessly dressed, his matthought hand holding aloft an inscription saying: "Never do today hat which you can put off until tomorrow." Th Mayr's shifted uneasily in his clair at Nahum Daniel Brascher waked up by the stand, with a "Prey-sacre center" banner hanging tightly in his shoulder. Tom Smith of Baltimore was also in line. He was a softly singing to himself: "Tm lonesome, that's all." A tall figure, which we at once recognized as that of Arthur Free, Recorder of Beads, came stalking along, holding high the inscription: "It's better to be born rich than lily." Charlie Hall came swinging along with a caine in one hand and a monole in the other. Casting a gritty look, the official stand, charlie gruntly said: "I want what want when I want it." The quiet Claude Barnett of the Associated Negro Press came into view, with the slogan: "Try it before you buy it." And just as we were about to light a fresh Camel, the genial "Nell" Chisum reached the reviewing aisle, with the simple "P. P. P." which we later found meant "Preserve the Pullman Porters." We were just getting ready to give the female contingent the once over when the telephone bell rang angely, arousing us from our dreamy slumber in the City of Salpico Africans. A loud voice rang over the wire: "Say, Mister (Continued on page 12)." Servants Remembered in Woman's Will Family servants were remembered in the will of Mrs. Josephine L. Hartford of 93 Ridge Street, white, of Orange, dressed last week for probate with Surrogate Gifford. Mrs. Hartford was the widow of George H. Hartford, president of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. and one time Mayor of Orange. Mrs. Hartford died December 10. Her will was dated February 25 last. In appreciation of long and faithful service she bequeathed to Otilla Daniels $3,000 and for the same reason $2,000 to Susan Goode. The will stated that a home had been purchased for the latter, accounting for the difference in the bouquets. To a maid, Alice Wattz, $5,000 was left to (Carl) Barker, butler, $1,000. Several white servants were also remembered.

P.; William Pickens, field secretary of the Association; James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary, and invited guests took their seats on the rostrum promptly at 3 o'clock. A tremendous ovation was given to Dr. and Mrs. Sweet when they were asked to stand so that the audience could see them. Mrs. Sweet languaged heartily with the audience as the speakers related humorous incidents that occurred during the tragic episode in which she is involved. She wore a smartly made blue silk dress and a brown hat turned down over her eyes. J.

He characterized her as the most modist, retiring, efficient and sympathetic woman that has ever been affiliated with the Association. When Miss White introduced Mr. Pickens, he said that he would take the floor. He did. With dry humor and wit, he e-attracted the audience while he made a plea for financial aid to the deter fund which the Association is raising. Dr. Sweet explained that he had been advised by his legal counselors not say anything that directly concerned the case. In considering the results of the case, the physician expressed a hope that the degree would not become too radical or remain to complaisant. MR. HAYES SPEER. "I think this of the Sweet case.

Page, 30, a real estate broker, with offices at 324 Lenox avenue, was sentenced to a term in Sing Sing from five to ten years by Judge William A. Allen in General Sessions the last of the year 1925. Knowles pleaded guilty when the charge was changed from first degree murder to second degree manslaughter. The prisoner testified that he fired six shots at Page on the night of December 4 following an altercation over a debt. During the latter part of last September, Knowles said that he gave Page $500 to invest in his real estate corporation with the promise that he was to receive a job. Several weeks passed and Page did not secure a position for Knowles. Believing that he had been cheated, Knowles said that he decided to demand the return of his money. On the night of the fatal shooting he met Page on the street and asked him about the job. When the real estate broker began making excuses, Knowles said he asked for his money back. By the time the men had walked to the hallway entrance of Page's apartment, 308 West 151st street, they had become engaged in a heated argument which was followed by a fight. After knocking him down twice and kicking him in the stomach, Page ran up the stairs to the third floor and attempted to open the door to his apartment, Knowles said. With fear that he was going after his revolver, Knowles said that he drew his .38 calibre German automatic pistol and took a deadly aim at Page and fired. All of the bullets took effect in the man's body.

DANIEL MURRAY DIES ON EVE OF 1926 DANIEL MURRAY DIES ON EVE OF 1926 For Forty-two Years Assistant Librarian of the Library of Congress Succumbs to Bright's Disease at 74 WASHINGTON, D. C. — Jan. 4.—Daniel Murray, 934 S street, Northwest, for 424 years assistant librarian at the Library of Congress, died at Freedmen's Hospital on New Year's eve from Bright's disease. Funeral services for him were held at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, corner of Fifteenth and Church streets. Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mr. Murray was 74 years old. He was born March 3, 1852, in Baltimore, Md., and received his early education in the public schools and Uniplanar Seminary of his nativity. He came to Washington 60 years ago and worked in the restaurant of the Senate, where he attracted the attention of the late Alnsworth R. Spofford, Librarian of the Congressional Library. Mr. Spofford gave him employment in the Congressional Library as his personal assistant. In 1880 he became assistant Librarian and continued in this capacity until January 1, 1922, when he retired. Through the training he received from Mr. Murray he received research work he became an authority in certain historical lines and was able to compile a history of the achievements of the colored races throughout the world, and particularly the contribution of the American Negro to this republic, under the title of "Murray's Encyclopedia of the Colored Race." It is intended for six volumes and represents about 20 years of research and labor. He had to have Congress issue it as a Government publication. He also induced the library authorities to set aside a division devoted entirely to literature of the colored race. It now forms a reference library for those who are interested in the library development and contribution of the Negro. Mr. Murray was a frequent contributor to various magazines. These articles alone, if collected, would probably make a good-sized volume of great interest and value. Mr. Murray was interested in civic matters. Because of the assistance given to the leading meu of the city, who were interested in questions relating to the proper assessment and taxation of property, he was complimented by the late B. H. Warner with a membership in the Washington Board of Trade. His death removes the only colored member of that body. He was a member of the committee that assisted Admiral Dewey from New York to Washington upon his triumphant return at the close of the Spanish-American War when the Congress presented the admiral with a $20,000 sword. Mr. Murray was also a member of a commission that prepared a literary exhibit of the american Negro for the Paris Exposition, and also a member of a commission that prepared a similar exhibit for the Jamestown Exposition. He was a member of the D class Relief Association, the pressional Library Association the Association the O oldest in tandul. He please see Philadelphia Mayor Accused of Insulting Colored Policeman PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4. According to the signed statements of former Director of Public Safety Smelley D. Butler, Mayor Kendrick became highly enraged because a colored policeman arrested a Princeton University student and matched him up Broad street with a revolver in his ribs. The Mayor of this city, W. Freeland Kendrick, according to his Director, said: "The worst part of it is you marched him up the street with a niger policeman with a gun sticking in his ribs and disarmed him before everybody. I want to see Beckman. Neil and the niger in my office right away." There is a general dissatisfaction expressed by the colored citizens over the revealed statements of Mayor Kendrick. There is more speculation as their unhappily known, that such reparks are an insult to colored citizens and has made no effort to deny that he made 11 statements, the Mayor's friends are having a hard time convincing the voters that the Mayor didn't make them...Philadelphia Tribune. $10,000 Ring Gone, Butler Arrested $10,000 Ring Gone, Butler Arrested Four and One-Half Carat Diamond Was Purchased Twenty Years Ago the theft of a diamond ring set in platinum and valued at $10,000 from the home of Mrs. P.

ATTEMPT OF MANAGERS OF AUDITORIUM TO SEGREGATE NEGROES IN BALCONY PROBABLY FRUSTRATED Assurances Given Late Yesterday That Tickets May Be Purchased for Other Sections of the House (Special Staff Correspondence to The Amsterdam News) WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5-With the segregation insult rampant at the Roland Hayes' concerts in Atlanta Baltimore, and other Southern cities, the Washington Audi- Complaints against the theatre and the Wilson Greene Concert Company, in charge of the tickets, was made by Neval H. Thomas of the local N. A. A. C. P. Telegrams were sent to W. H. Brennan and G. E. Judd in Boston, in protest at the proposed discrimination. They both gave assurance that no discrimination would be tolerated. Mrs. Milton R. Frank-ILAND HAYES, who introduced Mr. Hayes to the Washington public by staging two huge recitals, which netted him funds for his European trip, is the moving spirit opposing discriminatory plans of the auditorium. The National Race Congress and a large committee of colored ministers entered the fight, and have made it plain that the colored people will not tolerate insult tonight at the recital. Assurances have been given that Negro patrons may purchase tickets for other sections of the auditorium aside from the balcony and, as the time for the recital approaches, feeling is at fever heat as to whether these assurances will be carried out. In all probability, instead of attempting to seat Negro patrons only in the balcony, the house will be divided on vertical lines. That is, half the orchestra and half the balcony allotted to colored patrons. The gallery, or second balcony, in most Southern halls is "reserved" for Negroes. The "vertical" division obtained at Mr. Hayes' Atlanta recital. According to the Washington Tribune, Mr. Hayes was notified of the segregation plans by telegram last Wednesday, when he sang in Carnegie Hall in New York and veiled criticism has been directed at the grest singer. Those who know Roland Hayes personally are firm in their belief that he would never be a party to any attempt to humiliate members of his race at his recitals. Vaudeville Actor Held in Bai Accused by Landlady Disorderly Conduct—Al for Having Revolver An actor was arrested for a bus act Sunday night. Loroy Allen, 283 West 140th street, who appear on the Loew and Keith Circulate was held in $1,000 ball on a charge of disorderly conduct and violation of the Sullivan Law by Magistrate Henry Goodman in the Washington Heights Court. Monday morning The complaint was made by Mrs. Josephine Warner, the actor's land lady. Mrs. Warner said that Alle came into the apartment, intoxicated about midnight. After he is refused to cease making loud noises On the other hand, it is pointed out that he is powerless in such matters, because all arrangements for appearances are in the hands of his managers and he could not fall to appear without breaking his contract—a very serious thing for any artist to do. Segregation is not new in Negroes in Washington, especially since the Wilson administration, and is seemingly smiled upon from the White House down. Hayes appearance may show the injustice of segregation, but it should hardly be expected to remove it.

Moton's report on lynchings in 1925 follows: I send, you the following concerning lynchings for the past year as compiled by Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research. I find there were 16 persons lynched in 1925. This number, ranking with the number 16 for 1924 as the smallest number of persons lynched in any year since records of lynchings have been kept, is 17 less than the number 33 for 1923, and 41 less than the number 57 for 1922. Two of the victims were insane. Three others had been formally released by the courts. Ten of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, two from galls and eight from officers of the law outside of jails. Two of those lynched were burned at the stake and one was buried at the stake and been burned There were 39 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Seven of these were in northern states and 32 in southern states. In 26 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 13 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In three instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were indicted. Of the 41 persons thus before the courts, 21 were sentenced; five suspended sentences, dependent on good behavior, of from four to 12 months on the road; one for 30 days in jail, and 15 of from six months on the road to eight years in the penitentiary. Of the 16 persons lynched all were Negroes. Six or less, than one-half of those put to death were charged with rape or attempted rape. The offenses charged were: Murder, 6; rape, 4; attempted rape, 2; killing, officer of the law, 2; attacking child, 1; insulting woman, 1. The states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Alabama, 1; Arkansas, 1; Florida, 2; Georgia, 2; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 1; Missouri, 1; Utah, 1; Virginia, 1.

Bailey ordered the man out of his home. Then. Bailey alleged. Finley drew a revolver from his pocket and was just about to shoot when his hand was seized by Bailey's wife. 18 Lynchings Recorded in 1925 Mississippi Leads With 6 Florida Second With 3 Georgia.2 The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 68 Fifth avenue, made public lynching statistics for the year, showing 18 moh lynchers, an increase of two over the preceding last year. Mississippi led the states with six lynchings. Florida was second with three and Georgia third with two.

The list of lynchings by states is as follows: Alabama; 1; Arkansas; 1; Florida; 2; Georgia; 2; Kentucky; 1; Louisiana; 1; Mississippi; 1; Missouri; 1; Utah; 1; Virginia; 1 Miss. Aroused Over Lynching Miss. Aroused Over Lynching In a letter to James Webb Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Dr. W. W. Alexander, director of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation in Atlanta, reports that the State of Mississippi is aroused over the recent lynching of Lindsey Coleman immediately after he had been acquitted of a charge of murder by a jury in Clarksdale. Dr. Alexander writes that "reports seem to indicate that the state is aroused as never before. The Governor is determined and, I think, has sufficient support to write a new chapter in Mississippi history. You may be quite sure that we will keep as much pressure on the situation as possible. "The Governor of Mississippi has very little authority. If fact, none except the power to call out the militia. He, with the support of the Bar Association, and other influences of Mississippi, will ask the Legislature at its opening session to empower the Governor to remove sheriffs, and give him other authority, that will enable him to bring real pressure on the local community. I think such legislation has a good chance of passing. "The campaign of education will go on in Mississippi. Mrs. Henderson of my staff will send most of the month of January going from community to community in order to make a difference in the lives of specifically against such action. Mr. Kleaser, of my staff, will go into all the colleges and many of the high schools for the same purpose." Dr. Alexander's letter was written in response to a communication from the N. A. A. C. P. asking what the people of the state intended to do about the latest lynching, in view of the strong pronouncement recently made by the Par Association of Mississippi against mob violence and mob murder. Laborer Held for Attempted Burglary On a charge of attempted burglary, William Johnson, 28, a laborer was held in $5,000 ball by Magistrate Glatzmeyer in the Washington Heigls Court Sunday morning. The complaint was made by Mrs. Margarera Walker, 306 West 148th street, whose apartment it is alleged that Johnson broke into. Officer George Hughes of the 148th Street, Police Station said he was patrolling his beat when an outcry from the apartment attracted his attention. On going to the apartment the officer said that he found Mrs. Walker's husband holding the man in the kitchen. Mrs. Walker said that she left the building around 3 o'clock and that all of the windows and doors were locked. She said that during that time the prisoner entered a back window from the fire escape between that time and 3 o'clock. The policeman said that the window had been forced open.

The convention was epoch making and took on many inspiring features, and brought here some of the most distinguished leaders of the country. The convention was the guest of the Omicron Chapter, of which Harcourt Tynes is the polemarch, and the local chapter made ample provisions for the comfort and entertainment of the delegates and the collegians before leaving the city expressed their keen delight at the hospitality shown them during their stay. The convention took high ground on many of the national and international problems, and before it adjourned passed resolutions brought in by Attorney William Harrison, of Chicago, commending the movement to place Frederick Douglass in the Hall of Fame; favored the World Court as sponsored by President Coolidge; pledged support to the organization of the National Crime Commission, and urged Negro college men to aid in fighting crime; condemned segregation based on color, and urged that educated and Christian Negroes play a fitting part in the promotion of world peace. The speakers at the convention stressed the need of education, and Earl Dickerson in his annual address told of the importance of the guide right movement in helping to shave the lives of the youth of the race.

Smith in the Washington Heights Court Thursday. According to Detective Lehorder of the Pickpocket Squad, he noticed the two men acting suspiciously on the northbound platform of the 135th street subway station at Lenox avenue and decided to keep them under observation. The two men entered a 145th street local, the detective said, and rode to the end of the line, coming down on the same train to the southbound platform of the 135th street station. During the trip, Lehorder said the men jostled several passengers in the car. Just as they reached the 130th street station, Lehorder charged, several men brought an intoxicated man down to the subway station and left him there. Jackson and Grace walked over to the man, it is charged, and escorted him to a seat on the platform. Jackson got to one side of him and Grace to the other and they were just about to search his pockets when Lehorder arrested them. Both have served previous terms on similar charges, the police say, Suspects Repudiate Confession EL DORADO, Ark., Jan. 4.—Repudiating their alleged signed contensions to Clifton W.

Hudson, wealthy lumberman and El Dorado civic leader, two weeks ago in the woods eight miles east of this city, Roy Edmond and his cousin, Lee Walker, went to trink in Union Circuit Court Tuesday before Judge L. S. Britt. Although Walker, whose alleged confession stated it was he who fired the fatal bullet, declared on the stand that his statement at the protester was made "under pressure" immediately after Sheriff Perry P. Nelson had rushed the two suspects out of the county for fear of mob violence, the State succeeded in introducing evidence Tuesday almost identical with the facts set forth in the "confessions". Special deputies crowded the courtroom and the prisoners were accompanied to and from the jail by an armed guard of eight, but there was no show of a disturbance. Two deputies were with the pisoners constantly as they move between the defense table and witness stand. Although an unexpected diffuse avose in the selection of a when the regular panel of 24 had been exhausted with but se accepted jurors, an extra venue 20 produced the remaining five w but two challenges.

Kelsey, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Hampton-Luskegee Endowment Fund campaign, announced last week that the $5,000,000 required to be raised or pledged by Dec. 31 in order to meet the conditions under which George Eastman offered to add $2,000,000 more, had been obtained. The result had been certified to Mr. Eastman three days before the time limit set, Mr. Kelsey said. He issued the following statement from the fund's office at 5 Maiden Lane: "The reasons given by Mr. Eastman for his gift have appealed to the public and it has responded in the shape of more than 10,000 subscriptions, running from gifts of $1 each from some of the colored graduates to subscriptions of the $250,000 each from five different individuals to one by a $1,000,000 gift from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., matching the $1,000,000 pledge with which the General Education Board inaugurated the campaign. "The endowment fund campaign was undertaken by those schools in order that their fields of usefulness might be extended, and their principals, Drs. Grego and Moton, given more time for necessary administrative work. "The entire South was organized with headquarters in Atlanta. Many well-known Southerners took an active part in making the campaign a success and countless new friends were made for the cause. The alumni of the schools raised more than $200,000. "The hope of the race lies in the wide extension of the influence and efficiency of the two schools, and th multiplication of their graduates until they reach all the colored people of the South and show the way to the proper type of schooling for colored youth everywhere and the white youth as well. "Mrs. Rodkefeller said, in making his great gift: 'It is not only for our own land—it is for all lands that those representative American schools of hand and brain and character are blazing the trail.'"

The Y.M.C.A. in Schools and Colleges Completes Successful Year Advances Have Been Made in Race Relationships, Religious Development, and World Education The Young Men's Christian Associations in the schools and colleges of America have experienced during the past twelve months the greatest growth in religious development, race relationships, world education of any previous year during the fifty years that the "Y" idea has been developing on the school campus. This has certainly been true among the colored institutions. During the year just passed Dr. A. B. Curry of the Biblical Seminary, New York City, held institutes on religion and the practicability of Christianity in the colleges from coast to coast. Mr. G. L. Collins of the Fellowship of Reconciliation visited all of our larger colleges speaking to students and teachers and leading them in discussions on war, race and industrial and international problems. Colored student associations are now definitely related to the World Student Christian Federation composed of thirty-six nations and races. Max Yergan, secretary of the native students of South Africa, graduate of an American College, product of the Association movement, is a member of the executive board of this world organization. During October and November more than one thousand students, men and women, colored and white, of the southern states met in joint World Court Conferences, promoted and executed by both races. One-third of these delegates came from colored institutions. Men and women of both groups organized and executed the first "all Tenessee" conference of students ever staged in that state. The total attendance of this conference was about two hundred, one-quarter of which was colored. For the first time in the history of the Association, colored students formed a part of the company that went on Pilgrimages through the continent of Europe during the past summer. Closely allied to International Institution is the large city Summer Service groups. Colored students were represented last summer in the New York City service group. The pioneer student in the Summer Service groups and European Pilgrimages was R. P. Daniel of Union University. There was held during the year ten State "Y" Conferences for the training of nearly five hundred student officers. Three hundred students and faculty men attended the Summer Student Conferences at Waveland, Miss, and Kings Mountain, N. C. The organization now employs three full-time secretaries; W. C. Graver, F. T. Wilson, L. K. McMillan. Co-operating with these secretaries are twenty-five volunteer student workers who are officers of the State, Regioni, and National Student Councils. Dr. and Mrs. Sweet Attend Meeting (Continued from Page 1.) studied, the physician told the story of his life. Mr. Hayes then quoted this part of the brilliant and colorful testimony of the physician when he replied to a question as to what was the state of his mind on the night that his home was attacked by a mob of whites. READS TESTIMONY. "When I opened the door, I saw the mob and I realized that I was facing the same mob that had hounded my people throughout its entire history. I was filled with a fear that only one could experience who knows the history and sufferings of my race." Mr. Hayes often caused the audience to break out into a hearty laughter by telling of the discrepancy in the testimony of witnesses for the prosecution. If the philosophy of Officer Johnson, who said what Dr. Sweet should have used common courtesy and stayed out of the neighborhood where he was not wanted, was taken to a logical conclusion the main street of a town would be a street of death, Mr. Hayes de- SEW ELECTRICALLY Free Demonstration Have one placed in your home today SINGER SEWING MACHINE CO.

In this tight for fundamental liberty it will be a glory for your race to lead this fight. It would be a glorious thing for a people who were only recently delivered from slavery to lead the fight for the emancipation from prejudice, ignorance, latolerance and bigotry. And in winning your own emancipation, the white people will find their own emancipation," Mr. Hayes contended. In glorifying the courage of the physician for protecting his home against the vandals who attacked it. Mr. Hayes exclaimed: "A man who quits has no courage. Every man who quits makes it harder for the next man. No man has had a greater opportunity to do more for mankind than Dr. Sweet." What he believes are the rights of every man were enumerated by the speaker. The right to refuse to be intimidated or move at the order or a mob is the essence of freedom. In telling of another happening that took place during the first sensational trial of the defendants the lawyer explained that he was thoughtful of calling the jury's attention to the fact that the defendants didn't look like murderers. "After looking at Dr. Sweet's neighbors, I thought of his willingness to live among inferior people." Mr. Hayes shouted when he was commenting on the character and ability of his clients. The jury was unable to agree and a new trial for the defendants has been ordered for some time this month. G.O.P. Leaders Fear Dyer Bill Determined Effort Seen to Force Action Just Before Holiday Recess (Preston News Service.) WASHINGTON. D. C., Jan. 4.—The Dyer anti-lynching bill came to the fore again just before Congress recessed for the holidays and Republican leaders candidly admitted they do not relish another hard fight over the measure. Despite their antipathy, the Republicans must toe the mark at this session, as race lobbyists are prodding them along. The advance guard has air arrived with assurances that it's are to follow. Following the defeat of the bill three years ago by an acrimonious flibbiter in the Senate led by southern Democrats the Republican leaders gave a sigh of relief, but their surcause was short-lived. They did succeed, however, in installing efforts to have the bill reinstalled in the last Congress. Hardly had Congress reconvened this winter when Negroes renewed their drive for enactment of the anti-lynching bill. At their request Representative Dyer (Republican, Missouri), reinstated his measure in the House and the following day an identical bill was introduced in the Senate by McKinley (Republican, Illinois). Republican leaders say they regret exceedingly the injection of the Race question into Congress at this time, because of the narrow margin they have, especially in the Senate. They fear a drive for the anti-lynching bill would prove a two-edged sword. The southern members of Congress are very jubilant because they will use it as a club on the Republicans. MAN. BURIED IN COTTONSEED. DIES LITTLE ROCK, Ark. 4.—Eight hours after he had been buried alive beneath many tons of cottonseed stored in a large concrete tank at the Buckeye Cotton Oil Company's plant, the body of Ed Hampton, aged 45, was recovered at 6 o'clock last Wednesday night by workmen who had labored throughout the day in a vain attempt to rescue Hampton. Efforts at resuscitation failed. Physicians said that Hampton had been suffocated within five minutes after he was trapped beneath the sliding seed. TEMPORARY RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR BANK P. H. Williams Placed in Charge of Affairs at Elizabeth, N. C., Institution—Cashier Arrested (Preston News Service.) ELIZABETH CITY, N. C., Jan. 4. — An audit of the financial condition of the Albemarle Bank, which closed its doors on Christmas Eve through lack of funds to meet incoming checks, was being made Tuesday following appointment of P. H. Williams, president of the Savings Bank and Trust Company, as temporary receiver. Thus far, nothing definite has been disclosed as to the condition of the bank, or the extent to which depositors will be protected. The appointment of Mr. Williams as receiver was made by Judge Henry A. Grady, presiding over the term of Superior Court now under way here after a survey of the situation by Clarence Latham, chief bank examiner for the State. Mr. Latham came from Raleigh Monday, and returned that night. As matters stand, a definite announcement as to the condition of the bank will await the outcome of the audit now being made by W. S. Coursey, of the Frank B. Hill Company, certified public accountants of Charlotte. The State Banking Commission has taken charge of the bank's affairs. A final hearing on it was scheduled for Friday, January 8. OFFICIAL ACCUSED. W. H. Holland, cashier of the Albemarle Bank, which closed its doors on Christmas Eve, was arrested Thursday on a charge of embezzlement, and is held in jail in default of bond. The warrant for Holland's arrest was sworn out by W. S. Coursey, of Charlotte, accountant, who began an audit of the bank's affairs Wednesday. Holland's arrest followed the discovery of a shortage of more than $10,000, according to P. I. Williams, president of the Savings Bank and Trust Company here, and temporary receiver of the Albermarle Bank. It is rumored that the shortage is in the neighborhood of $80,000, though hope is expressed that additional assets will be found in the course of the audit, and thereby the total of the shortage may be reduced. Holland returned from Evansville, Ind., having left for there the day the bank closed. His wife is said to be living in Evansville. "If I have done anything wrong, I'm willing to take my punishment," he is quoted as saying as he was being conducted to jail. The finding of a bank ledger and balance sheets bearing a number of accounts concealed in the bank vault led to the discovery of the shortage and to Holland's arrest, Mr. Coursey stated. Chrence Latham, of Raleigh, chief bank examiner, was notified of the arrest and went to Elizabeth City immediately. STOLE 20 DRESSES AND SUITS IN ONE DAY (Preston News Service.) COLUMBUS, O..

Disease is merely the result of the violation of the Laws of Nature. It is the penalty of ignorance, negligence and indifference. Health, on the other hand, is solely the result of complying with the Laws of Nature. Disease, therefore, is an unnatural, abnormal condition, white health is natural. One cannot continue to violate the Laws of Nature without paying the inevitable penalty, which, unlike the laws of man, is not "the or imprisonment or both," but disease, which is associated with power, keeps the path of death. But if the laws of Nature, the reward is health, which is invariably accompanied by happiness, prosperity, contentment, achievement—success. Doubtful Nature has provided for us food, air, water, sleep and means of exercise. If we get these as our Creator intended, in their natural form, we cannot become diseased. But as soon as we change Mother Nature's food by refining, denaturing, devitalizing and nullifying, rutilating or polluting it, as soon as we change her air by defiling it; as soon as we get insufficient and irregular sleep; as soon as we fail to get the proper kind of exercise, disease, the un- ARE CUBABLE.

CHAPTER 1. CAUSE OF DISEASE. Disease is the result of wrong living—unnatural living. By wrong living I mean to live unnaturally, to lose sleep, to use stimulants (such as drugs, tobacco; alcohol, opium, tea, coffee, etc.), to overheat, to induce in sexual excesses, to overwork, to the painful thinking is also a factor in the production of disease. Such harmful emotions as fear, malice, jealousy, hatred. These bad habits and unnatural conditions produce enervation which impairs functional efficiency, permitting the retention of the body's resources. The continuation of such waste matter in the blood produces what the Natural Curists call toxaemia. Therefore, unless we choose our food carefully, or if we use an over-supply of food, it will produce too much foreign matter, which congeals the blood stream and result in self-poisoning. We must look within, and not without. If we must make any progress in the cure of disease and the maintenance of health, the poisons we create in our body by unnatural living, of grass insurance, or to indifference to the Law of Nature, are the fundamental causes of all diseases.

For which we did not blame Georgie in the least. Instead, we rise to congratulate him for standing for it as long as he did. Be that as it may, the evening was a corker and a regular Renaissance night—one befitting the position now held by the basketball players who hung such a thrilling defeat on the necks of the famous Celtics a few weeks back. SIX At early evening the crowd assembled to witness—the contest. Good music kept the gathering in good spirits. An unknown youngster went on the floor early and did the Charleston the accompany him in the competition of silver and other coins thrown to him for his efforts. That borsesome couple that hold the spotlight on Thanksgiving night got only a lukewarm response for their efforts at the conclusion of which they left the floor, no doubt feeling they were out of place. They were so tough. Good-bye and hope we don't see for a long time to come. Then came the game. Chris Hulswould in freshly pressed panels took the court and after the unknown attaché of Matthathan Casino had introduced the players its almost succeeded in pulling a Joe Hummelbach when he introduced Paul Berlienbach who went to the pivot position and throw up the ball for the start of the game. Hiem. Paul has been seen a great deal among us colored folks of late and we suspect he is getting involved for a meeting with Tiger Flowers. Such a thing as a thought of losing was so tar from the minds of the colored players they started the game same as us just another. They jammed in a field until Sept it from early until March the orchestra a played "Home Sweet Home." During the course of the contest a Jewish young man on the Catholic team did the Charleston with his fists on Barack Mayer, who tried valently to respond with "Roll Dem Cotton Bales." "Bob Douglas, a man of peace until the last straw, stopped the game and told all hands that we was losing his sigh, just because he was in Manhattan Casino to see a basketball game and he was not going to stand for any fight outside of the regular fight against the Cashio. Who did he go to his Bob? Managed it in the Casino who was trying hard to reach the two milling men to sign them up, but Douglas quickly told Heydier there was nothing doing unless he agreed to cut the writer in on the fight night receipts. We admit that these were only incidents to the big contest. Being human we cried loud within ourselves for Mayors to K.O. the Israelite, but since the boys decided to play we were satisfied and had the pleasure of again gazing on the exclusive Fat Jenkins while his stuff was called and loud for the others to "Fat" the ball, which they happily did after a time, and just performed. Luis would be refused to be tricked by the visitors and soon had them playing basketball. First half we walked off the court with the score doubled on the Italians. Last half was but a repetition of the first only when we got the best kept it a little longer and passed it to show up with仇etics and the Jews. After we had rubbed it in long enough we persisted. At a sign from Douglas his team sparted. slammed and left the court with a 36-20 victory. Nothing to it but Renalassance. St. Christopher Victorious At Manhattan Casino on New Year's afternoon the St. Christopher Club of St. Philip's Parish spanned a big surprise when they offered the Supervisor Club of Brooklyn. While the followers of the soil team were confident that the ultimate result would be basketball followers of the Brooklynites would be the long end of the score reduced by their showing the early hour of the season. Cressida Breedford apparently knew what he was talking about when he invited to the writer some words about that St. Christopher club to say from Brooklyn. Cressida and not spoken there by the writer, but of a great writer, scored three field goals during the game. Attention, Mr. Posey! (From the N. Y. Evening Telegram.) The onward rush of the Patterson Metropolitan League Five was halted last Sunday night by the Renaissance Big Five on the latter's court when the colored champions sent the leaguers down decisively to the tune of 51 to 33. The dusky-kinned Athletes played rings around the Jerseysites, from start to finish, running them bowled and shooting with deadly accuracy. The game goes on record as the 21st consecutive victory for the Renaissance Five Veterans he won up to last Sunday night. The 18th came the same afternoon in Hackenack, when the Original Celtics were roundly drubbed. Aside from the halting of Paterson's march, the feature of the game was the marvelous shooting of Pappy Ricks for the winners. He exceeded intellec- tive roofing at 12 times from the floor and five times from the 15-foot mark. His total for the even- inn was 29 points. Passion was best for Paterson. Frat Game Saturday Drew a Splendid Gathering James Long Boy Essons, who played center on the Omega F1 Phi quinter Saturday, demonstrated his remarkable basketball ability when he beat the Alpha Phi Alpha Five 30 to 13, even though he spent his usual time in many sprawls. The social side of the afternoon was by far the most interesting, brilliant and colorful affair. Over 290 persons packed the casino about one hour before the game was scheduled to begin. During the halt and following the end of the game, the floor was crowded with dancers. Promptly it was the most fashionable gathering of the younger set at the casino in recent months. There was a beautiful array of colors made by the splendid blending of colorful dresses. The most popular color was red. Some were sport hats to match. During the first three minutes of the game it looked as though there would be an exciting contest between the two Greek Fraternities. Sesquios began to skip over the floor and the Orange and Black men chased wildly after him. Several times during the second half of the game there seemed to have been some hope for Alpha in Hunt, but he couldn't get away. The last half was void of thrills with the exception of the accuracy displayed by Sessom. The officials were "Dutch"uiswould, referrer, and Frank Forbes. umple. Why are there was needed is still a mystery. LINK-UP, Alpha Phi Alpha, Omega Phi Phi, Politis, Forward, Beacon, Richardson Hunt, Contact, Sessom Henderson, Guard, Tompkins Reserves, Alpha Phi Alpha, Goldwire, Hunt, Hands, Jackson, Bash coach, Boston, Sanders, Lawyers, McNeil, Sean Horne. Athenians Continue to Win Continuing the excellent game they have played all season, the Baltimore Athletians accounted for another one when they defeated the Phila. Flushes 33-18. The flushes, which he honoured by Griffin U. and Taylor of Lincoln U., started out as winners but soon succeeded to the superior play of the winners, who led at half time 17-14. The Athletians were never in danger after that, Captain Pales and Serrapy won the scoring for the win, while the defending winner and Wheatley held the flashes in check. Griffin and Taylor played best for the losers. Berlenbach Says He Will Again Take Up Wrestling Fighter Who Was Guest of Renaissance Five Friday Night Says There's Money in It Paul Borlenbach, the world's light heavyweight champion fighter who started the game beware of the Renaissance Five and the Italian Casino last Friday night, is going to return to his old love, the wrestling game. Borlenbach does not intend, however, to forsake the ring immediately, nothing like that! When he is through with that sport, no more worlds to conquer, he will resume the art of pinning an opponent's shoulders to the mat. Borlenbach made this startling bachin yesterday when he met Tex O'Rourke, the famous physical conditioner. "No matter how successful I am in fighting," he said, "I always have a yen to take up wrestling. That is the reason I keep up practicing in that sport. "You know," he added, "when I quit the ring. I will surely go back to wrestling. The beauty of that ring is that it wrestles and also a good man can earn more money wrestling than by fighting." Strenuous Week for Local Team Representing the 135th Street "Y" Youngsters Also Invaded Wilds of New Jersey and Returned Home With Scalps of Their Opponents The past week proved to be an unusually busy one for the Y.M.D. Lasketeers, they having participated in four games. This outfit has never before been called upon to meet so exacting a schedule, and the fact that the boys were successful in each event is very commendable. The game to which all Harlem teams its attention was fought on Tuesday evening was only two such rivals as the Y. M. D. and St. Christopher are capable of fighting. It was a battle from whistle to whistle. The Red team had to kick each other into the face to put up a strong trunk when they invade the "Y." They went down to defeat. 25,25 but if the score were to be totally ignored, even the most partisan observer would be inclined to conquer the St. "Y." aggression the police on that game. They uncovered a brand of passing and all-around floor work that made one back to the days of the Buffalo bills. But both players are won on caged pitches, and so the Y. M. D. is one on St. "Y." every man on the Y. M. D. played his game or the defense and one will not easily forget Capt. Seagay's goback in the second half. Gregory, the offense the boys just weren't there. Gregory was the tower of offense. Cobb and White of the visitors played a whale of a game, standing head and shoulders above their teammates. Talk about being a "nightingale." One player in the last half for St. "G" tells the tale. The department of the players and crowd was very commendable, being far above past meetings. "Duther" Honiswould officiated in a manner that pleased everyone. The boys jumped over to the wilds of Jersey on Wednesday evening and decisively trounced Montclair "W" by the scene of U. L. Cain, who took many scores this fracas, cares no less than seven backets. He was closely followed by Gregory with five and Cain with four. Miller of late seems to have lost his eye, or else has become a marked man, but his floor work remains at a high standard. Hampton, Fitzgerald and Austin did the best work for the "Skeeters." On New Year's afternoon the X. M. D. hooked up with the alum in on exhibition and gave him a victory to its credit, which necessitates a "rubber" and should prove one of the biggest attractions of the season. The boys brought their week's campaign to a close on Saturday afternoon, when, in a preliminary to the 'Alpha Kappa Alpha-Omea game, they trounced the Boston collegians by the score of 32-11. The score was most alive for the Y. M. D., curing five and four goals, respectively, while Cofer and Major of the 'Collegians' stood out with three aplice. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1926 Package from The Baltimore Afro-American at this office for Edgar G. Brown. "Pittsburgh," writes our friend Pedro Miguel, "is one of the most depressing places for a visiting colored basketball aggregation, and we are not at all surprised at the victories piled up by the Loenli team of that city against colored teams. "A hall," continues our friend from Tasmania, "accommodating about six hundred, which, by the way, is considered a huge crowd in the 'City of Smoke,' a place which you New Yorkers would love to visit. The idle attitude, the idle way, we are told, assume a menacing attitude and let it be whispered around that they are not above using small arms." "That," says Pedro, "has its effect; and when Loenli recalls and considers he Pittsburgh grabbed a timepiece when Loenli stood with her back against the wall before about three thousand people in a commodious and beautifully appointed casino on a neutral court—one on which the assembled multitude had gathered and stood prepared to do honors even unto Pittsburgh in the event of a fair victory. For at New York to rise and do honor unto the boys who have succeeded in defending the best white aggregation of basketball players in the world." A letter from a gentleman signing himself William J. Taylor, of 44 West 129th street, takes the writer to task for his attitude towards Pittsburgh. This splendid epistolio would have been reproduced in these columns in spite of the poisoned spear driven home did not really mullify itself in the first place, and very much News, C/O REMOEL L. DOUGHERTY. Truly, one would imagine that any person jumping into the breach in defense of such an important team as Leondi would know that a letter should be sent to me in care of THE AMERSTERDAM NEWS. And not wishing to treat a man as rough as myself, I would introduce the letter with spelling, terrible punctuation, etc., would give us victory by such a large margin, it would be (to use a hackneyed term) like taking money from a baby. That being that, we are now looking forward to hearing from Mr. Posey anent a Renaissance-Leoni game at Manhattan Casino, with a guarantee that the watch will be allowed to remain on the table. In fact, we doubt seriously that Robert Douglas, being just a player, would play that game to be played before asking the new Police Commissioner for the protection needed to keep that watch just where it belongs, between the two timekeepers. In the event of Mr. Posey not asking for the right wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a slice of Rockefeller University, a slice of New York University, the United States government and the day's receipts of the Pennsylvania Railroad on all trains entering New York, we believe we can strike the happy medium and give New York the biggest thriller among basketball teams in many years. We personally brought the teams of the big colleges up against the teams of the big universities, and we see no complications why should consider going to a town without the accommodations and the spirit of the game. The morale of a colored basketball team is broken the moment the train pulls into Pittsburgh. No, no, Nanette. We don't even have to play Pittsburgh. Over the years, we have the defeat of the Italian Catholic Club wiped out to the satisfaction of every sundown sun of this principality. It was no holiday, technically speaking, last Saturday afternoon, yet one of the finest gatherings that ever turned out to witness a basketball game was on hand at the Renalance Casino to witness the clash between the Panthers, an account of the game, and the book containing the history of basketball in Greater New York, we had to turn back many leaves to find an account of any game which drew as fine a gathering of beautiful young ladies and well dressed young men. The archives wherein are kept the accounts of such a game, before the latter, before the challenge to attempt the heroic deeds of young Lochinvar. But Father Time had already laid a heavy hand upon us and pointed the way, and being safely locked in the basement for years of facing the world as one she is prepared to make an affidavit to any Thomas who doubts, we bear a heavy retreat, leaving the field to Warren Brown, who, writing with the inspiration that can only come to such an exerting connoisseur of the beautiful upon such an apprehensive occasion, declares that he was born on 11th of November of an afternoon with in superior social atmosphere with its almost irresistible appeal even into those to whom Time had said: nay, nay. The disappointment we suffered at the Commonwealth Sport Club last Saturday night when an unknown tyro went down to a most injurious defeat, had its compensation in that it was amusing to hear Henderson Huggins trying to bear a dignified retreat after telling that the gentleman of Colombo had been injured in a night fight, Huggins our host companion of a Saturday night, knew that we would take his delicacy to the public, for he it was who laughed loudly when Mirandy Tattler, strilling his usual pose of oracle and leader of all things in the world of sport, gave our the "inside information" on Ray Bannett, canyas klisser of renault, the know, said Huggins in his book that if he is going to give this club the thrill of the night. Past experience had taught us to sit in silence and only vouch for an opinion when we are sure of our ground. The white boy paired to meet the brother ran from his corner in the first round and belied the new find of Huggins a healthy wallop a few inches above the top, and from that momentous moment he did everything a prize fighter should not do, until the middle of the second round when he was knocked down twice. The last time he stayed down and we would not be surprised to learn that he is still out. Gladly will contribute to a fund to send this latest bust back to W. Rollo Wilson and Philadelphia. We knew before the old year had sent up its dying sigh somebody would up "The Black Grange". But this time there's more humor in it than has been true in the past, because to this race which we belong has been confined the art of diligence upon the "black this" and the "black that". True, the Pittsburgh Courier did come through with a week whisper of having discovered the "Black Grange" in following dispatch from Sag Harbor, L. beats everything of its kind. "Arthur J. Crippen, a member of the Southampton 1925 High School football eleven, has been dubbed 'the Black Grange'. As hallback he scored 88 of his team's 226 points in the season's games. He has a strain of Shinnecock Indian blood in his veins, and is a grusdon of William Crippen, of Sag Harbor. He has original "Red," and we refuse to allow the title to pass from us, for this bimbo has Indian blood in his veins and they have not as yet disclosed whether he has any black blood (it is such a thing) in his veins. Too bad the Howard-Lincoln game failed to disclose an individual we could point to with pride as being the black counterpart of the white leeman. Down at Madison Square Garden we understand they are going to say it with Flowers when the Tiger and Harry Greb meet in a title match. If there's one man the Tiger feels he can whip with ease it is Harry Greb. Walk Miller has been trying to corner Greb ever since the night they stole the decision from the Deacon and when the greatest rubbery of modern times took place at Madison Square Garden with the same Tiger as the victim, they thought they would throw the Atlanta lamb and have it ever tasted—white meat. Thinking of that decision in the McTigue-Flowers fight which the banker and department store owner gave to McTigue as a Christmas present, reminds us that hundreds of colored people appear to be scared stiff at the suggestion of going down to Gimbel's to purchase anything. They tell me that the colored brother has also been remarking that if the bank over which Mr. Brady presides happened to be any older than his dept. he will be deposited therein. Yet we see, Samuel, Institutions presided over by men who can so brazenly hand out the kind of verdict these gentlemen did should carry no appeal for colored people. And there's more meaning to this than appears on the surface. Buccaneers Lose to Quaker Five ATLANTIC CITY N. J. Jan. 2. —In the waning minutes of play the Quaker Big Five of Philadelphia nosed out the Buccaneers at Waltz Dream Hull, 26-24. The "Buzz" led at half time, 15-8, but starting subs in the second half the visitors, with Haney and Davis starring, wont back into the toy too lust to stem the tide. Queen, Knox and Pickles Howard starred for the Knox and Chuck Crawford of strength on the defense for the visitors. People of Paterson, N. J., Think Renaissance Unkind New Jersey Town Started a Week's Celebration, But New York Team Puts a Stop to It The people of the thriving town of Paterson, N. J., are to-day saying some of the hardest things about the Renaissance Five of this city, and all because of a series of events transpiring Sunday and ending midnight of the same day all the way from the mosquito state up to Harlem. For years the Paterson basketball team had cherished the ambition of defeating the world famed Celtics, and towards that end the New Jersey players had rolled up a string of eighteen consecutive victories this season. On Sunday afternoon before one of the largest gatherings in their own home town, their hopes and aspirations were fulfilled for they defeated Mr. Fursey's shamrock players by a score of 26-23. The Mayor, who was enjoining his Sunday rest in the quiet of his home, was called on the phone and notified of the honor that had come to the town through the basketball team. He immediately issued an edict that starting on Monday morning the mills would close down and everybody in the town would enjoy a week's holiday. Now here's where the Renaissance comes in. The same Patterson team came to Harlem on Sunday night, just oosing enthusiasm because of the afternoon's victory against the colored players now holding the world's championship, it was with the idea of adding to the celebration upon their return home. But there was nothing doing. Bob Douglas, chewing on the unlighted geegr, sent Captain Slocum word that no quarter should be asked and none given. "Pappy" Ricks, who has been holding back for some time, happened to hear the first of the team to the captain, and having come from New Jersey where the Klan is inclined to act as they should not. "Pappy" made a decision which he afterwards put into effect. Renaissance simply took Paterson and slammed her all around the court. It was a slaughter. Here was a team that had the honor and satisfaction of defending the great cause of defending mankind, change against the local team. At the end of the first half Renaisance led by a score of 32-15. The second half was but a repetition of the first. "Pappy" Ricks ran wild and accounted for 22 points. The conclusion of the game found Renaissance with 31 as against the hard earned 32 by the team. The night was when somebody telephoned the Mayor of Paterson the result, which promptly brought a cancellation of the order for a week's holiday. As the Paterson captain was about to leave the Renaissance Casino he was handed this telegram from the Mayor:—New York would advise that you lead your team to the Brooklyn Bridge and do a Steve Brodle. Let us miss all of you." The coming Sunday night the Assumption Triangles will once more make a stall at defeating the Renaissance Five at the same place. Triangles are the hardest bid for the honor of defeating the home team on their own court. Flashes Win Two More The Philadelphia Flashes Big Fire defeated the Senate Club of Wilmington, in Philadelphia. Wednesday night by the score of 40 to 16. Last Thursday the Flashes defeated the Alco Club, of Washington by the score of 44 to 16.

Cardinals in Victory The 115-pound League team of the Cardinal Club, composed of Ellis, Tulley, Reese, Brassier, Adams, and Ford, chalked up their second straight victory when they submerged the team from West Side Y" under a 32-score loss to East Side E" with Ford. Each队尝到了 three baskets in the first half, the score ending 8-1 in favor of the home team. Things looked at this stage as though it would be a nip-and-tuck battle. But the dope was completely upset, for the visitors scored not a single point in that second half, while our boys tied with four in the third and with four baskets each, while Adams, Ford and Tulley accounted for two apece and Brassier one. The boys all played a bang-up floor game, using a short, snappy, accurate pass until a chance to break through and score under the basket presented itself. If the team keeps up, they can go on toward the top. The visitors points were scored by Nary, Reddy and Gately. The "133-pounders" were not quite as fortunate as their lighter brothers. Their game was played purely as an exhibition affair. It was technically forfeited to West Side on account of overweight. The West Siders put up a very good exhibition, completely outplaying the home team, which showed a lack of practice together. The score was 50-19. P. J. Vitacco of institute officiated. The Harlem Flashes took the "Y" Cubs into camp in the opening-game by the score of 16-12. Hanks and Brown were the outstanding players and Thompson stood out for the Flashes. The Cubs will resume practice this week, so that another two weeks-should see a great improvement in the team. The Flashes were fortunate in running up two runs in the first half, but had two of their first-striking players missing from the lineup, but it will be a different story the next time they meet. Seashore Presents a New Club ALTANTIC CITY, N. J., Dec. 26. Another group of young speed marvels have banded together in a new club, the Buccaneers, who made their appearance Christmas night, vying with the Vandals for Atlantic City supremacy. The club comprises, with two exceptions, all the players who perform last season, defeating Renascence. The Panthers, Moorhouse and Lincoln, losing only one series, that to the Balto Athenians, two out of three. The team is managed by Russell C.

NIGHT Flowers and Greb at Garden February 26th Neuman and Lawson Topping Commonwealth Card the Coming Saturday Night Black Bill Batters Out a Victory Over Bobby Ruttenberg. While White Whips Reisler A remarkable recovery after being on the brink of defeat brought Billy White, Jersey City Junior lightweight, victory over Johnny Reisler, Harlem lad, last Saturday night in their ten-round bout which was the feature attraction at the Commonwealth Sporting Club. Reisler floored White twice in the second round, once for a count of two and again for a colump of nine. The Harlem boy fought furiously for a knuckleout when White regained his feet the second time, but was erotic in his excitement, and White weathered the gate of blooms. With the third round, White assumed the offensive and, carrying the fighting steadily thereafter, gradually worked up a lead on points over his rivel, and at the final pill carried off the decision. White weighed 123 pounds and Reisler 1374 pounds. In the ten-round semifinal, Black Bill, Cuban flyweight battered his way to victory over Dolby Ruttenberg, Pennsylvania. Bill's spectacular work on the offensive earned him the decision. Irwin Bige, Omaha welterweight, knocked out Stanley Morant of Philadelphia in the second round of the first scheduled ten-round bout. A right to the body dropped Morant for a count of nine and when he regained his feet he was sent down and out from a similar blow, after the round had progressed 1 minute 12 seconds. Lawson and Neuman to Meet. At the Commonwealth the coming Saturday night fans will be given an opportunity to see Ray Neuman (Holy Poly) against Bob Lawson. Neuman some weeks back won handily from DeMave, who some months ago knocked out Lawson. Lawson hasn't been seen at the Commonwealth for some time, and his appearance this Saturday night is in the nature of a comeback for a return match against DeMave in the event of his winning from Lawson. Kid Alberts, who made a hit here in the few bouts in which he appeared at the Commonwealth, will be seen in action against Irish Tommy Jordon. Alberts hasn't fought at the Commonwealth for more than a year. Pete Metro and Sid Burt will appear in the first ten of the evening and the far will fly, as Burt is bent on establishing himself again after his defeat at the hands of Sandy Taylor not very long ago. 26 PIECES ROGERS SILVER SET With Handmade Chains STAGEEO.

YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1926 Pittsburgh Courier Big 5 in Another Victory Combination Coming to the Front and Apparently Destined to Supplant Loendi The Courier Big Five romped away to its second consecutive victory of the holiday week at Montfort Hall New Year's Eve before a gate-sized crowd of basketball enthusiasts. The highly touted Brushon Cities of Homewood proved little opposition for the aggressive "newsie" combination—and, as the timer's whistle terminated the contest, the markers showed a 39-15 count, with Courier on the big end. The entire Courier quintet acquitted themselves admirably, with Henry, Tinker and Scott leading on the offensive. This starling trio dropped goals from every angle of the court, being accountable for 26 of the Big Five's markers. For Clydes, "Lefty" Allen, Westinghouse high-school star, was easily the big gun, both offensively and defensively. The Courier five is planning an extended Western tour through Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. Lineup: Courier. f. Brusbron. Shotton. f. Allen. Scott. f. Bloomer. Tinker. c. Anderson. Nunn. g. Litman.

Boys of 369th in Boxing Tourney Friday Due to Federal inspection of the equipment, the regular weekly soldier losing tournament of the 22d Regiment Engineers, 1863th street and Broadway, will be held next Friday evening instead of on Tuesday, as usual. A card of four rounders, preceded by a four-spot, has been arranged. In the main bout, Johnny Tunber of the 192d Medical Regiment, tackles Nick Morrow, 16th F. A. Mercer surprised the fans at the 22d Armory last Tuesday night by putting up a great battle against Frankie Houlahan, losing only by a narrow margin. As a reward for his fine showing, he was matched with Houlahan. Frankie Constantine, the aggressive sailor, and Joe Kestner, formerly of the U. S. Marine Corps, now a member of the 192d Medical Regiment, will meet in the semifinal bout. Another eight will be being to gather Jack Benton and Rafus Campbell, both of the South Infantry, in a return bout, while the opening eight-tower will find Oscar Putz, 22d Engineers, meet Jack Moore, 30th Infantry, Jack Murray, Fort Jay, opposes Johnny Gunning, 22d Engineers, in the four. Special Trophy for Meritorious Work in Wilco Games The memorious trophy, which has been an added incentive to competitors in the annual indoor games of the Wilco A. A. to urge them on to greater effort, will be awarded again this year at the association's games, which are to be held at the 12th Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, on Saturday evening, February 13. Judging from the great number of star athletes who have already signified their intentions of competing in this year's meet, the spectators who determine the winner of this prize by popular vote will have a much harder task on their hands than has been the case in previous years. Paavo Nurmi, the Phantom Finn, who broke the world's 2 mile record at last year's indoor meet, was the recipient for the honors for 1925, and Joie Ray has been the outstanding star in more than one Wilco classic. With the several foreign stars in the 1926 games in addition to the best in this country, Chairman Hugh H. Hirshon believes that the task of determining the most memorious performance of the meet will be harder than ever. Lack of health, strength and energy flows itself nines in the face, flabby flesh and laxity of muscular activity. LEONARDI'S ELIXIR FOR THE BLOOD build health, strength and energy. It keeps the flesh hard and firm, the eyes clear and bright. It puts color in the cheeks, a sparkle in the eye and flesh on the body. It is the ideal tonic. Stay young by using LEONARDI'S ELIXIR FOR THE BLOOD. It invigorates and strengthens the whole system, makes rich red blood, acts gently on the liver and kidneys. Insist on LEONARDI'S. Refuse all others. At all drummists. Hubbard and Hussey in Return Engagement at Big Meet Here Brooklyn College Meet at 13th Regiment Armory to Draw Cream of the Athletic World Harold M. Osborn, Illinois A. C., world's greatest all-around athlete, is the latest champion to enter the Brooklyn College meet to be held in the 19th Regt. Armory on Saturday evening. Jan. 23. Osborn will compete in the running high jump, for which he holds both the indoor and outdoor records, and in the hurdle race against the best performers at these specialties. Osborn, who, like many other athletes, is now in Florida, but still makes his home in Champaign, Ill., will make the trip from the South specially for the Brooklyn College meet and it is probable that it will be his only indoor appearance in the East. Osborn, who holds both the Olympic and National all-around championships, in addition four national indoor titles, writes that he has been doing considerable jumping in the South and from the way he has been going expects to improve his present mark. The tri-color wearer will meet roundtable competition. His chief rivals will be Emerson Norton, of Georgetown, runner-up to Osborn for the Olympic decathlon, and Dory Plansky, also of Georgetown, who preceded Osborn as holder of the national allaround crown. These three athletes are conceded the best allaround athletes in American today, and the fact that they will take part in the same events at the Brooklyn College games assures one of the feature attractions of the Indoor season. Plansky is equally as well known as a football player, his work as a fallback being a bright feature of Georgetown's successful campaign last fall. Clarence Flahive, Boston A. A. former intercollegiate high jump champion, will be included in the field for this event, while Ray Hias, Georgetown captain, former intercollegiate hurdle champion, and Ray Wolfe, the Pennsylvania captain, will be among the many starters in the hurdle races. JoHart Hahbard, the great colored sprinter from the University of Michigan, has accepted the invitation to compete in the Olympic sprint series in which Frank Hussey, Boston College, national 100-door champion, and Loren Murcison, Illinois A. C., indoor titleholder, already are entered. This competition will serve as a return engagement between Hussey and Hubbard, who finished inches apart for the century crown at San Francisco last July 1. The series will consist of three prints at 100 meters, 74 yards and 100 yards. In addition to Hibbard, Hussey and Murchison, the other two sprinters to make up the field are expected to be Bayes Norton, captain of the Yale team, and Chester Bowman, Newark, A. C. Intercollegiate 120-yard champion. A. A. U. Appoints Standing Nat'l Committees President Hulbert Retains Practically All the Men Appointed Year Ago The standing national committees of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United States for 1926 have been appointed by Murray Hulbert, President of the organization, and the activities of the Union for the current year will get under way without delay.

Lynch of Detroit to head the Finance Committee instead of the Handball Committee. Avery Brundage, of Chicago, former champion all around athlete of the United States, has been named Chairman of the latter committee. Brundage is the President of the Chicago Handball Club and Chairman of the Contral A.A.U. Handball Committee. The Metropolitan members of the National A. A. U.

Director Harry Greb Signs to Defend Title Against Flowers Middleweight Champion Will Fight Atlanta Deacon at the Garden, Feb. 26 Harry Greb, world's champion middleweight boxer, last week signed articles to defend his title against Tiger Flowers, crack boxer of Atlanta, Ga., in a fifteen-round battle to a decision in the New Madison Square Garden ring on the night of Feb. 28. The champion, while declining to give out the details, said he had agreed to terms which he expects to not him at least $60,000 for the contest. The signing of articles followed a demand made upon Greb by the New York State Athletic Commission, which several days ago accepted a challenge filed in the routine way by the Atlanta Negro. The challenge was posted right after Flowers had fought Mike McTigue and been adjudged the loser, despite the fact that news-papermen at the ringside were almost unanimous in the opinion that the Tiger had the better of the bout. In making the announcement that he had signed articles, Greb said he would begin training immediately for four matches he intends to go through with in order to condition himself for the championship contest. "I expect Flowers to give me a hard fight," said Greb. "He gave me one of the most stubborn battles I have ever had when we fought at Fremont, O., and I hear he has improved greatly since then. However, I am glad of the opportunity to meet him. "One chap that I certainly would like to fight, though, is Paul Berlombach. I begged Rickard to put me on with Paul, but I guess Tex couldn't get the light-heavyweight champion to agree to fight me." According to Champion Grebi's present plans, he intends to fight Roland Todd, the English middleweight champion, at Toronto on Jan. 11; then he will tackle Ted Moore at Los Angeles, Cal., on Jan. 26. Two weeks later he is scheduled to take on Leo Lomski, the Pacific Coast middleweight, at the same club. Harry said that on his return East he might meet a fourth opponent to be named later at St. Louis on Feb. 19. He also revealed that he has received an attractive offer to fight Gene Tunney at Miami, Fl., this winter, but added that he had not yet determined whether he would accept or not.

SEVEN GH7 Brooklyn Office 50 Hanson Place Phone Sterling 1826 Restrictions on Property Illegal Supreme Court Hands Down Far-Reaching Decision Affecting Negroes LANSING, Mich., Jan. 4.—The Michigan Supreme Court has handed down an important and far-reaching opinion that will be viewed throughout the country, it being to the effect that restrictions made against the sale of property to Negroes on account of color were invalid. This decision is particularly important in view of the widespread activities on the part of whites to exclude Negroes from so-called white residential districts by asserting clauses in contracts for the sale of the property owned by the Canadian race, by this decree on the part of the Supreme Court all such contracts are void in the State of Michigan. While this opinion is favorable to the colored citizens of Michigan and the country, it is pointed out that the decision does not touch upon the occupancy of premises on the property, which has been placed, which has been the bone of contention in the many cases throughout the country. The suit in question was brought by Porter and Wyman, white Muskegon real estate dealers, against Wilburt and Auxille Barrett, white, and Wilson Robinson, who purchased the property involved. Porter and Wyman, the father of Parenit, white, who in turn sold it to the Barretts. The contracts in both cases specified that the property should not be sold to Negroes upon sensitity of the lots and all improvements reverting to the real estate concern. Upon the sale of the property to Robinson, Porter and Wyman immediately brought suit against the Circuit Court and served five of the defendants. This decision was affirmed by the State Supreme Court on the appeal of the plaintiffs. Justice Fellows, in writing his opinion, says: "We must bear in mind that we are not dealing with a restraint on the use of premises. Such restraints, unless unreasonable have quite uniformly been imposed, will not prevent liquor was prohibited this court and practically every court of last resort in the Union upheld restraints of the use of premises for its manufacture or sale. Such a restraint upon the USE was uniformly upheld, but would not be the sole use of premises to one who was enraged in the sale of intoxicating liquors elsewhere be valid? I think not." Negro Plays Santa Claus for Flushing's Largest Department Store For a whole week ending December 24th, "Joe" Fratt was hired by Abramson's department store to act as Santa Claus. Joe said his duties were to shake hands with customers' children and take their names. "When I would ask the kids what they wanted Santa to bring them I have noticed the difference in toys wanted by the two races. The white boys wanted something to construct with, such as a steam shovel and dump truck, while the little Negro boys wanted Santa Claus to bring them a troop of toy soldiers with a judge. As a rule it is judged by the toys it plays with. The white boy, when a man, will have the desire to be a builder of some kind, and these same Negro boys will have a desire to conquer the world." "When the first Negro lady brought her son to me to shake hands with Santa I at first thought the boy would ask for a football or something to knock around, but the lad surprised me by asking for an artillery with soldiers. I gave mother a harty handshake as Santa the man who has organized an ideal parent for our race. We are now approaching the time in which Ethiopia shall stretch forth her arms unto God to become a nation. Give your little boys war games to play with." Brown Memorial Calls Pastor The Brown Memorial Baptist Church, Herkimer street near Schechectady avenue, has received assurance from the Rev. Dr. James D. Billips of Norfolk, Va. that he accepts the unanimous order that the church to become the pastor in the meantime be filled by Mrs. Billips, is expected to arrive here Friday morning. He will baptize five candidates Friday night and preach at both services Sunday. The newly called pastor is well qualified by education and experience in the ministry to fill the vacant position the church of the Brown Memorial Church. While here, Dr. and Mrs. Billips will stop at Mr. and Mrs. U. S. Harrison's. 634 Herkimer street, opposite the church. Matter for Publication for This Page Must Reach Us Not Later Than Monday "Between Black and White," New Book By Rev. H. H. Procton The Pilgrim Press of 14 Beacon street, Boston, has just announced the publication of a volume, "Between Black and White," by Rev. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of the Nazarene Congregational Church of Brooklyn, N. Y. This book throws much light on the migratory movement of the Negro people. Incidentally, some sidelights are reflected on the greater world problem of the belief that the colored people must work out their own problem, under the guidance of their own leaders, and in cooperation with the better elements of the white American. He believes that there is opportunity of working out on American soil the new ideal of brotherhood in black and white. He goes on to say that the black man and the white are contrasts, not contraries; complementary opposites, not reconciliatory opposites, not interests and identical their destinies to couple. The one eternal lesson for both to learn is how better they can love one another. Rolfe Cobleigh, managing editor of the book, says the following of this book: "Between Black and White' is the remarkable story of a remarkable career. Henry Hugh Proctor is one of the outstanding leaders of the cooled people who have risen from obscurity, making all obstacles the stepping-stones to success. Tennessee he has followed the pleaam which led through education and self-development to notable service for his people and the Kingdom of God. This autobiography is a stirring, dramatic narrative, which shows but does not stress the struggle involved in the advancement of the Negro, and it presents the real face problem. This book reveals Dr. Proctor's irresistible good cheer, his resolute purpose and his constant faith." Notes of Flushing, L. I. By S. A. WALKER.

This was in pursuance of an act of the State Legislature. From first settlement, year, 1649, slaves had been used for working the fields, house servants, male and female and hunters. There were white slaves or bondmen, white slave boys or "bound boys," Negro slaves and Indian slaves. They were bartered, sold and exchanged like cattle, they were punished, but they were not treated cruelly, as cruelty is reckoned today. The whipping post punishment of criminals in the State of Delaware, however, is mild compared with the flagellations of old times. When the slaves were freed they were set apart in a little hamlet of poor quality land, sand and light soil, near East Hampton village. The spot is appropriately called "Freetown." This land, a century ago, considered of small value when everything was valued from an agricultural standard, is making the descendants of the manumited slaves wealthy. With the land "boom" property along the highways has risen from 30 to 100 per cent, in value. Freetown Near Three-Mile Harbor. Freetown is on the main highway which leads to Three-Mile Harbor and Malestone Park. The spots are the fresh and salt water resorts of the town. The localities are near where Otto Kahn, Clarence H. Mackay and others have leased or bought lands for game preserves, and where out of town capitalists, now owners of wide lands fronting the days, are to develop property. Consequently $1,000 to $2,000 for an acre of land on a highway's not an unusual price to be paid. Such figures mean richer to the humble colony at Freetown.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6 1926 "On the 6th inst. a brig belonging to New York bound from Hamburg to New York was cast away in a violent storm on the south part of Gardiner's Island or rather Ram Island. She had about forty German passengers on board, most of which are to be sold for slaves, for a few years, then to be free in this land of liberty. The cargo, I believe, will be saved." The Gardiner, of Gardiner's Island, the first place settled by an Englishman in New York State, had many slaves, some of them Indians. At the Island a church and rectory were maintained. The Indian women raised the corn and crops. They were the best agriculturists. The Indian men were skilled in taking the whale und in breeding horses and sheen. At Freetown descendants of these Indian slaves and Negro slaves still live. There are also descendants of bondmen in the town. There were for about 150 years after settlement of the Hampton colonies three classes of inhabitants: the proprietor who owned land and common land; the freeman, who owned land, had a vote, but did not own in undivided common land, and the slave Indian Negro or white man. A freesholder could vote without being a church man in the Hamptons. In Southold he had to belong to the church. The Rev. Thomas James, first minister of the Malastone or East Hampton flock, kept slaves, and his Indian servant, whom I bought his house, begged him to one year old; we held as bonds boy for "nineteen years more, in 1673, until he shall be twenty-five years." John Kirtland sold the Indian boy and there was a stipulation in the agreement that when the boy became twenty-five years old he was to receive his freedom and ten pounds current money, a suit of clothes, etc. The records of the Hampton town's aound in instances of slavery and the practice was quite general. negress, of Southampton. He denied the accusation, and the hearing was adjourned until Wednesday, January 6. North Carolina Fugitive Apprehended in Flushing "Jim" Russell, 49, who escaped from a jail in Laurinburg, North Carolina, last October, was arrested last Tuesday by Detective George Knub, of the Flushing precinct. Arraigned before Magistrate Conway at Flushing as a fugitive from justice, he was held in $3,000 bail until Tuesday. Russell was in the Laurinburg Jail for cutting another colored man. The chief of police of Laurinburg learned that the man he wanted was living in Flushing and he telegraphed the Flushing detectives to arrest "Hig Jim." The Flushing sleuths "covered" a certain house in Flushing for several weeks, but it was not until Detective Knub went to 278 Lawrence street, Flushing, recently and arrested Alonzo Fletcher, 21, also colored, on a charge of petty larceny, that he discovered Russell was living in the same house as a boarder. After lodging Fletcher in a cell in the Flushing police station, Knab rounded up his fellow sleuths and returning to the Lawrence street house arrested Russell, who answered their knocks on the door. Fletcher was charged with having stolen a downed valued at $50 from the revolver. Miss Ruth Roberts, at 102 Amity street, Flushing. He was held in $500 ball by Magistrate Conway for examination.

Intricacies of Racial Marriages Couched in Memorandum Issued by British Colonial Office (Preston News Service.) The difficulties which confront a girl who may happen to contract marriage to a Christian girl in Mosul or African Negro are illuminating set forth in a memorandum issued by the British colonial office in view of recent marriages of English girls into the races indicated, states the Vancouver Province. Marriage of a British girl to a Chinaman results in the loss of her British nationality thereby, and the fact that her marriage is valid in the United States avail to protect her in China from a treatment which does not conform with the rules applicable in Christian countries in regard to marriage. In the case of such a marriage, there can be no actual guaranty that if the husband returns to China he may not, in accordance with the customs existing in that country, take to him either wives in addition to the first, or even more already entered into marriage relationships in China. The marriage of a woman of British nationality (professing the Christian faith) with a Hindu, even in a case when it is valid in all respects in this country, is not necessarily so when the husband returns to India. In India he is subject to what is known as his "personal" law, and this law would probably not reorganize the marriage' at all. In the case of a Mohammedan, although marriages between Christian women and Moslems are recognized as valid by Mohammedan law, if the English law only were gone through, it might the pauses in a position of some difficulty in a Mohammedan country. Under the Mohammedan law, the husband may, if he desires, take other wives, in addition to the first, without consulting his first wife, whether a Christian or otherwise. Where a marriage relationship is constituted which the Mohammedan law will recognize, a Mohammedan husband may, under Mohammedan law, divorce his wife at will without any legal formal- Edifice formerly occupied by St. Philip's P. E. Church in Mulberry Street city beyond that of repudiating heand of discharging the marriage settlement agreed upon; which should he return to his own country leaving his Christian wife here, the fast of their being thus locally separated might be equivalent to divorce and Negroes are in many cases in their own countries subject, in certain particulars, to native law and customs which may permit of polygamy.

And I am with them — art. AND so do the young women. At the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, I was asked to meet the "Negro-Caucasian Club," and found a group of men and women students of both races, with some faculty members, who propose to fight for equality of those races in that university and in the rest of the nation. That is a brave undertaking. It can be done. This Michigan University club is on a par with the "Inter-racial Club" recently founded at the University of Chicago under the inspiration of Miss Eleanor Goldsmith, a New Hampshire girl. These young people do not propose to worship tradition or be cowed by bigotry. And I am with them — with all my heart. I give herewith the simple constitution of this "Negro Caucasian Club" as a guide to black and white students in other universities: gardening them, in order that acts of justice may be initiated. His name shall be made well known to the general pub ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT. NEGRO-CAUCAISIAN CLUB OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. OBJECT. We agree to work conscientiously, actively and persistently, both individually and as members of this organization, for the elimination of all forms of discrimination, injustice and prejudice against Negroes, as distinguished from Caucasians. We pledge ourselves to exert every effort to give, in all possible ways, substantial and effective help to individuals of this oppressed group, to aid and protect them not only in maintaining their rights but also in civilizing under the law either as citizens or aliens, but also to work actively against any existing or proposed law, and against any custom or individual practice involving pernicious race discrimination. While history and current events have convinced us of the necessity and desirability of concentrating our attention primarily upon cases arising in relations between Negroes and Caucasians, we also also to act in all other specific cases of similar discrimination based upon color or race, which may be important to us, especially if they occur in this community. However, since such cases seem to be comparatively rare in this part of our country and indeed almost unheard of at this University, we have chosen to call our organization the Negro-Caucasian Club, as indicative of the type of problems upon which we agree to concentrate practically all our efforts. Membership shall be conferred upon all persons, regardless of race or color, who express a desire to join, provided that they have read and signed these articles of agriment. Members shall be of two kinds: (1) active members and (2) patrons. Active members shall be those who are expected to take an active part in meetings and have the right to vote, while patrons shall be those who express a desire to support the Club in fostering a program, but are unable to take an active part in meetings. MEETINGS. Meetings of the Club shall be of two kinds: (1) membership meetings and (2) public meetings. Membership meetings shall be held for the purpose of initiating new movements, for receiving the reports of committees, and for considering what should be done in specific cases which are brought before the meeting by a President. Aorum shall consist of one-half of the total active membership. Public meetings shall be directed toward education, propaganda and general discussion of problems. It is especially desirable that persons opposed to the objects of the Club and the ideas of its members be invited to these meetings, be permitted to take part in the discussion or to address the Club, at the discretion of its officers. The officers of the Club shall be President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Complaint-Recorder, Attorney, and Press Representative, having the duties customarily assigned to such officers, except as otherwise indicated in these Articles of Agreement. At the last meeting in May, they shall be elected by ballot, to serve for a term of one year. The duties of the Complaint-Recorder shall be to receive and record complaints, and to confer with the President re- MEETINGS garding them, in order that acts of justice may be initiated. His name shall be made well known to the general public and he shall hold himself as accessible as possible. The Attorney shall give legal information and advice. He may be either a student of law or a practicing lawyer. COMMITTEES. The Executive Committee shall consist of the officers of the Club. It shall call meetings of the Club or of an Advisory Committee to consider cases submitted by the Complaint-Recorder, and shall carry out such acts of justice as may be decided upon. An Advisory Committee shall be formed from time to time, to discuss methods of proceeding with various cases, or the action to be taken in specific cases submitted by the Complaint-Recorder. It shall consist of the members of the Executive Committee and such other persons as the President, or the Executive Committee, shall deem it advisable to call in. The Program Committee shall be appointed by the President. It shall make a study of the general policy of the Club, suggest plans for en-ring work, secure carrying out its work, secure speakers, and arrange public meetings. The President shall be empowered to appoint committees not otherwise provided for. AMENDMENT OF THESE ARTICLES. At any meeting of the Club, these Articles of Agreement shall be amended if, and only if, number of active members present and voting in favor of the amendment is a majority of the total active membership. Your Committee suggests that, until the work of the Club is well organized, meetings be held about twice a month, or on special call of the President. Respectfully submitted. WASHINGTON, D.

Bloonah, a Libertian graduate student at the University of Chicago, who is a delegate, was barred from the restaurant where a group of the delegates were entertained following its opening. Over 400 students representing 30 denominations and 176 colleges in the United States and Canada were present. Mr. Bloonah had been invited by Treadwell Smith of the Union Seminary delegation to meet others in the delegation at dinner. The Liberian told Mr. Smith that his admittance already had been refused at the restaurant where the dinner was to be held. Mr. Smith then went to the manager, while 30 students waited at the door, to ask him for permission to seat Mr. Bloch, and the manager refused, saying that guests in the dining room would not stand for it. Several of the students proposed that the delegation and its guests occupy the restaurant. It was idiically decided, however, with the dinner. Mr. Smith, Mr. Bloch and several others did not attend. "Instead," Mr. Smith said, "we walked across town to a nice Negro restaurant, where we had a good dinner and an interesting discussion on racial and international relations." After hearing this, it was proposed that the conference as a whole boycott the restaurants near the church. This proposal was turned down. At noon several hundred of the students walked across town and took their lunch in Negro restaurants, while a company them to one of the cafeterias named in the boycott proposal. On this occasion the Negroes were received. It was said during the discussion that the question of Negro outing places at several northern universities was a real problem for the students. Negro students at Columbia and Union Seminary in New York, a delegate declared, had to go half an hour's walk from their lectures to find restaurants that would receive them, because cafeterias would not dim them.

New York Conscientious Reliable Dental Work / Rev. Howard of Washington Dead Had Served Zion Baptist Church for Past 39 Years WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 4.—The Rev. William James Howard, 71 years old, died at his residence, 100 Massachusetts avenue, N. W., Wednesday, from pneumonia. Funeral services were held at noun Sunday at the Zion Baptist Church, F street, between Third and Four-and-one-half streets, S. W., of which church he was the pastor for a period of 39 years up to his death. His body lay in state from 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Rev. Howard was born in Frederickburg, Va., June 15, 1854. At the age of four years his father died and it became his lot to help his mother care for three other children. At the age of 22 years he married Miss Alverta Brown of Orange County, Va., and of this wedlock eight children were born. Seven were girls and one was a boy. In the rearing of these children he disproved the adage that a minister's children are no good. He was prepared for the ministry at Weyland Seminary, which was at that time located near 16th street and Florida avenue, N. W., and has since been merged with Virginia Union University at Richmond, Va. In 1888, upon the death of the Rev. Gibbons, he assumed the pastorate of Zion Baptist Church and continued actively pastoring there until his death. After the morning services last Sunday he was carried home ill, but insisted upon returning for the communion ser- THE ILLUSTRATED Holy Bible WITH MAPS Amsterdam BIBLE C The Illustrated Bible THE ILLUMINATI Holy Bible WITH MAPS AND HE Genuine binding style. erdam LE OF illustrated Bible THE ILLUMINATED Holy Bible WITH MAPS AND HELPS Genuine leather, 11mm binding—Divinity circuit style.

Monday morning he preached a funeral sermon and made purchases for Stoddard Baptist Old Folks' Home, which is operated by the Baptist ministers. Sunday evening his son, Dr. William J. Howard, Jr. had Dr. Carroll Brooks to attend him. He died Wednesday. Prior to his pastorate at Zion Baptist Church, he was connected with it as Sunday School superintendent and had been a member almost from the time of its organization in 1864. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Alverta Howard; one son, Dr. William J. Howard, Jr., and six daughters, Mrs. Bortha Collins, Mrs. Elizabeth H. Lewis, Mrs. Louise Pack, Mrs. Jannita Howard, Mrs. Erma Allen of New York City, and Miss Ruth Howard. Rev. Howard was especially noted for his successful pastorate and his work for charitable institutions and among the poor. He gave much of his time and efforts to the operation of the Stoddard Baptist Old Folks' Home, which is operated by the Baptist ministers of the city. He was a trustee of Virginia Union University, of Manassas Institute and other institutions. He was also prominent in maternal circles, being a 3rd degree Mason and an Odd Fellow. The Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, declared that "there was not a man of any nomination the equal of Rev. Howard in looking after the sick, the poor, the afflicted and those in distress—anybody's members, anywhere, in any street, in fall or out, poorhouse or anywhere else.

I. C. — The Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church (white) at a recent meeting had under discussion the affairs of Haiti and the Dominican Republic and made the following specific recommendations: " (1) The former provision of the Haitian law forbidding foreigners to own farm lands should be restored. At the same time, care should be taken to safeguard the money invested by foreigners in Haitian land under the permission given by the American-written constitution of Haiti. (2) Instead of allowing easier foreclosure of mortgages on farm lands, as is contemplated, foreclosure should be made impossible upon farms that are needed by the working owners to support themselves and their families. (3) Other credit arrangements should be provided for, particularly through cooperative credit unions. (4) Elementary and high school general education is one of the greatest needs at Haiti at the present time. All additions in agricultural and technical schools should be established upon what now exists, and what now exists should be vastly extended and improved. The present elementary schools in most instances could be used to teach agricultural and other technical arts to children. All of the work should be inspired by the purpose of making the Haitian an independent farmer with the personal sense of dignity and the strength of family life which this begets. (5) The contemplated irrigation projects should be carried through soon." Mother Zion Church Last Sunday marked the beginning of the Annual Revival held at Mother Zion Church. Dr. W. N. Holt of Baltimore is the Evangelist. Every soul in the new, auditorium was filled. Excellent music was rendered by the choir, and appropriate selections were sung by the Gospel Singer, Mr. Harold P.

She was a faithful member of St. Mark's M. E. Church. Her remains were viewed at her late residence, 218 W. 133rd street, by her family and rehires. Funeral service was conducted by her pastor, Dr. J. W. Robinson. Her remains were laid to rest in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Dr. F. A. Cullen in his sermon Sunday morning speaking on the proper attitude for the New Year addressed the two classes in the congregation. To the unconverted he sought to show the grandeur of accepting them; to the start of the season they might be the subject to draw upon His resources. To the Christian element he appealed for more righteousness and a stricter observance of the great Christian principles. The text was "Therefore I Say Unto You, Take No Thought For Your Life," St. Martin 6:23. He was the first person in the Christian program" Dr. Cullen said, "the Divine plan is for everyone to be busy, actively engaged in personifying the Christian virtues. In the past it has been the policy of many Christians to depend on luck." At the Lyceum, Mrs. Nannie Taylor took charge of the first Sunday service directed the discussion of the topic, "Resolutions for the New Year." Joseph Phillips was in charge of the young people's program at the Epworth League. Sunday was a notable day in that it was Communion day, the first Sunday in the New Year, and the beginning of the Revival season. These factors enabled the services to attain great spiritual depths. During the day 24 persons joined the church to stand for prayer and congregation. Eight hundred and twenty-five communed and the collection was $650. Nightly for the next four weeks, Rev. Cullen will lead the members in a Revival that is expected to make great inroads into the stronghold of sin. The first Sunday in the year, Dr. Oliver delivered a powerful and instructive sermon on Rev. 21:15: "Behold I Make All Things New." Subject: "S spiritual Renewal." In this discourse, the speaker mentioned the turnover of man and the restlessness of the earth and the forces of restoration relative to the force of creation, that the former is stronger than the latter. Dr. Oliver urged the membership to renew their spiritual life and begin the New Year aright. The day also marked the anniversary of the Junior Church. They had their election of trustees. The Junior Choir marched in, fully vested, and rendered excellent music. Holy Communion was celebrated at P.M. The sermon was preached by P.M. The Dinner was marched inamel A. M. E.

The tide appears fore Christmas, but has cont an extent that railroad officials movement to be more permal. Washington is the east States and here the movement better than at any other poi course, been extraordinarily addition of the colored travel the Southern carriers to their WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—During the past three weeks there has been a steady flow of Negroes from the North to the South. The tide appeared to reach its flood just before Christmas, but has continued since that time to such an extent that railroad officials are inclined to believe the movement to be more permanent than seasonal. Washington is the eastern gateway to the Southern States and here the movement to and from may be noted better than at any other point. The Florida travel has, of course, been extraordinarily heavy for some time and the addition of the colored travelers from the North has taxed the Southern carriers to their utmost limits. The Negroes are returning from Philadelphia, New York and points beyond. Always there is a return movement from the North when the real hard weather of winter sets in. The East has been shivering in the grip of a cold wave for the midwinter; the week and this indubitably has accelerated travel back home; but the main movement, according to railroad men, started during the real mild weather which prevailed the week before Christmas. Frank West, that the case involving the will of the late Agnes West, who died in Nelson, B. C. in 1923, has been decided in favor of his client. The estate is valued at nearly 220,000. This case has been pledged in Canada since 1924. Mrs. West died without a will and without any known heirs to the Canadian court. Upon learning of his mother's death, Frank West employed Attorney Jongs to establish Prosperous conditions among Negroes who migrated to the North may account for some of the travel at this time of year—the return to the old dwelling for the holidays—but it would seem that great numbers of the Negroes are returned to the South, as shown by the number of families included among the southern bound passengers. Sometimes five or six children may be observed in a single group. The intentions of the North have proved so much of a hardship for the colored people with children—so seriously妨弱ed have been included in the northern migrations of the old year. There are no immediate means of leaving track of the north and south movement of Negroes except fourth reports of trainmen and drivers who are on the road. Christmas travelers from New York, reported the Pennsylvania station in that city crowded with city groups of Negroes awaiting for trains for these trains have told their own story. Here in Washington the facilities of the Union station have been taxed to care for the moving tide. Southern resorts, about to open in full activities for the winter, have been claiming their usual care or "help" from the North, both white and colored, during the past two or three weeks, but not enough to account for the extraordinarily heavy traffic. Doorts from the western gateways to the town such as Cincinnati, Providence and St. Louis, are all confirmatory of the movement noted here in the East. The Negro migration of the last few years has followed certain natural channels. From Virginia and the Carolinas the movement northward was virtually confined to Philadelphia, New York and other northern seaboard cities. From Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama the movement was the destination of Cincinnati and Chicago. St. Louis and its migrants from Mississippi Louisiana and Texas. Government bureaus are without definite figures as to the more recent movements, but observers are certain that the backflow of the last 18 months has been greater than the outgo. Labor demands of the North and middle West appear to have been met and the same indications are not being offered to Segreges as was the case immediately following the API.

Jan. 4. announcement was made this week Assistant United States Attorney Thomas L. Jones, counsel for TWELVE RETURNING FOR GOOD. Frank West, that the case involving the will of the late Hagen West, who died in Nelson, B. C., in 1923, has been decided in favor of his client. The estate is valued at nearly $20,000. This case has been pending in Canada courts since 1924. Mrs. West died without a will and without any known heirs to the Canada Court, and without the mother's death. Frank West employed Attorney Jones to establish his claim to his mother's estate. Mrs. Agnes West was born in Louis County, Va., and came to Washington over twenty years ago. After staying for a while she moved to Nelson, British Columbia. By hard work and fengal living she acquired property. Both real and financial assets, including all expenses, will leave over $8,600 in cash, over $1,500 in jewelry and real estate valued at several thousand dollars. What to Do in Case of Fire BY H. E. NEWELL. This title suggests a question, the answer to which comparatively few persons ever consider. What should be the immediate action in case of fire? Offhand, the answer is to put out a natural one endeavor by the means at hand to extinguish it. Extinguishment is, of course, the desired result, but should seizing an extinguisher or other first-aid appliance and playing it on the fire be the first move? One has not thought out this problem from all angles and anticipated the probable result of each move during such an occurrence, a little thoughtful consideration will develop doubt as to the wisdom of immediately starting to put out the fire. But doubt means delay, and delay during the early stages of a fire as well known, may be as possible. This clearly indicates the urgent importance of having in mind a clean-cut plan of procedure. A well-known fire protection engineer was recently asked to answer this question, and his answer, which is quoted in the following paragraph, is decidedly interesting and contains much food for thought: "The first thing to do in case of fire is to unison aid if there is a fire to可供 use. It is frequently a gross mistake to engage in a combat with fire, using first aid fire appliances. There have been numerous very serious losses as a result of such action. In fact, some of the resultant disasters have raised, in the minds of some fire preventionists and protectionists, the grave question as to the disadvantage involved in the installation of first aid fire appliances in industrial and mercantile properties. This may seem a radical statement, but when one individual so engaged, it is easy to see that the lure to action which comes from the presence of first aid appliances frequently results in a disastrous fire." Unquestionably, the first thing to do is to summon aid and in cases where plants are located within a city, this means pulling the nearest city alarm box to the department. Where a city fire department is not available, the plant brigade should be notified. This's procedural is of such importance that it might well be emphasized by capital letters. The following, selected from numerous similar cases, consequences liable to result from failure promptly to summon aid: About seven years ago a small fire occurred in the middle of the morning in a Pennsylvania ferry house at Camden, N. J. The porter of the station picked up a chemical extinguisher and endeavored to put out the fire but the extinguisher exhausted the fire continued to burn. He then took the standpipe and hose line out and operated against the fire, but was finally defeated and abandoned the light. It was then that he summoned the Camden fire department. The Camden fire department responded with the usual first alarm device, but when it arrived himself being set up for action, it found that the fire had developed to a second alarm stage. This resulted in a loss of approximately $200,000. AGED MAN HASTENS FIRE WITH GASOLINE (Preston News Service) STATESVILLE, N. C., Jan. 4. John Scott, aged 76 years, had an intently exciting experience while starting a fire with gasoline Friday morning. The presence of mind displayed by Mrs. Scott in dashing a bucket of ice-cold wafer on her husband and extinguishing the flames on his clothing saved the man's life. Mr. Scott suffered severe burns about the hands and face. Little damage was done to the house by the explosion. "Color Bar" Voted Down in South African Mines WASHINGTON. — The so-called "Color Bar" bill, proposing it, is said to promote differential treatment of Negro natives in the South African mines, was voted down in the Senate of the Parliament of the Union of South Africa by a vote of 17 to 13. The bill was supported by the Nationalist and Labor parties, but was strongly opposed by the South African Party, which advocated shortly afterwards adopted resolutions to the effect that "it viewed with alarm the spread by the Union Government of no-called segregation—a segregation regarded as a resuscitation of the old slavery."

Maybe AND now, after all the sublime years, during which scientists have agreed that there was nothing in blood corpuscles of man by which black skin tints could be differentiated from white, red, brown, or yellow, comes a North Carolina scientist, Dr. L. H. Snyder, announcing that inheritance and race characteristics can be told from chemical reactions of the blood in certain combinations, and that thus the "sheep" can be eventually separated from the "goats" in the grand American chase after so-called racial purity. It is inferred, from the scientist's conclusions, that such aid will thus be available to the courts and other analysts who may be called into duty under such acts as the Virginia Integrity law or amid such cases as that of the Rhinelanders or the Virginia Indian case. The sincere professor of the science of blood almost tears down his little white house when he succeeds in saving where there has been admixture of races." Furthermore, he admits that the truth of the experiments is always dependent, too, upon the purity of the chemical solution used to cause the desired chemical phenomena. With two such glaring weaknesses in an experimentation, it is others' discovery is going to be of much practical benefit to science. Thus, where alleged Nordicism had made some blood tributaries or become a blood tributary itself, under admixtures, it is difficult to see how accuracy could obtain in the group. Nor does the group is concerned, unfortunately its upward trend from fast black runs into about fifty-seven shades up to pure white, including the hundreds of thousands who are now classified as pure Nordics. Perhaps it is a good thing that Prof. Snyder's test is not a hundred per center; for consternation might grasp that of some of America's unified Nordicism. And what good would it do thus to expose, by mere chemicals, facts which have been believed from a NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1926 the day the day and the time as to which the memory of man runneth not to the contrary? No, sirce; what science needs to do is to bring back the old-fashioned sweet potato; or to eliminate the germs which continue to cause sickness and death. This, we think, would benefit man far more than it will to imagine the blood content of his great, great grandparents. blues and sing the political doxology. Booker T.

BYRNES, well remembered in Washington for his attacks, while a Congressman, upon Howard University and Rev. J. Francis Grimke, retired pastor of Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, has again assumed the critic's role by attempting to defile the memory of Abraham Lincoln, savior of the Union and emancipator of the American Negro. The South Carolina Congressional prodigal described Lincoln, in a recent address, as being impervious to the U. S. Constitution, which, says Byrnes, Lincoln regarded as a "scrap of paper." It is indeed said that in this tide and time there are still spread among us not a few relics of the Confederate Government, which once died at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. When we consider the special laws which, following the Civil War, South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida and their sister States of the South frantically passed through their legislature, last desperate effort to suppress him "in his place," without regard to law or constitutional precedent, State or Federal, it is a wonder that the word "Constitution" is still retained in the dictionaryies used in ex-Congressman Byrne State. At one time the Legislature of South Carolina enacted a law that all free Negroes over 15 years of age found with no lawful employment or business should be deemed vagrants and subject to the law of the Negro was hired back to his old master for a long term sufficient to produce trouble times the amount of the fine. It would be a splendid progression if ex-Congressman byrnes, who, after all these years, rises to slap the lamented Emancipator, Lincoln, were to spend some time with the once Governor of Massachusetts, Samuel W. McCall, and take some lessons in what a scarcity of paper really is. Then he could also study the "constitutionality" over the ex-Confederate State of South Carolina. Political Prophecies THE year 1925 has ebbed Some one was once artfully logical enough to say that "Charity begins at home," and we humbly beg leave to add that "Political destinies begin at home." The white man's politics is a highly scientific feature of American Government, and has always been so, for that matter. The Negro's politics was once founded upon the principle of sympathy. That's wrong, dead wrong; and that's why many things which our group thinks ought to have been done have not been done. The white political world, with which we are called upon to deal, is the acme of organization, while ours is the acme of waste and decay. Dozens of groups are essaying to speak in open political court. Divided, each protends to be the true and duly appointed counsel for the Negro group. Our organized contemporary laughs at our clumy efforts to accomplish, while divided, those things which we can only accomplish when entitled to our coast, from the gulf to Canada. Why we wantonly continue, by sheer neglect, to permit petty personalities and sectional differences to deter us in presenting an organized front is one of the disgraceful wonders of the age. The A. F. of L., with half the united membership, which could be our politically, receives favors and recognition the country over. We, with potential votes the most powerful army, proportionately, in the country, continue to sing the political blues without first putting our own house in order. Cohesion, unity, oneness of purpose, and all the clements which make for real race, political organization are the foods for which we are politically starving to death right now—and the other fellow knows all about our dilemmas. Unity and organization will win respect; will establish persuasive force; make the world know that we want what we what and know how to ask for it according to rules of Hoyle. This is the first job to be put over before we chirp the blues and sing the political doxology. Booker T. Washington was quite right when he said "Let down your buckets where you are." To apply this simple dictum in our own political well is the first step forward towards forming a partnership with the fellow who is already up and doing. And that's that. HE "Colour Bar" walked right into the South African mines, turned around and waltzed right out, when the Parliament of the Union of South Africa rejected it by a vote of 17 to 13. This particular color bar was a pernicious bill fostered by the Nationalist and Labour parties, and growing out of the fact that a mine manager had been guilty of employing a black native to control an electric locomotive. The Bill sought to create forever color differential treatment preduplical to the black laborers in the South African mines. In fact, the bill sought to preserve for Europeans certain specific skilled and semi-skilled occupations to which African native laborers were aspiring. As a matter of fact, several strikes have taken place, the past two years by anti-work anticlerical which the whites of the South African mines have steadfastly held against their black brother laborers. Yet, on this side of the seas, we hear the call "Workers of the World, United!" At any rate the 'Colour Bar' bill was rejected on a 17 to 13 basis, and black natives can continue to inspire to any place, skilled or highly technical, which is available and for which they are simply prepared. Furthermore, the 'Colour Bar' bill as ill a wind as it was, permeated the use of it. It stirs the Transvaal African Congress to pass resolutions 'viewing with alarm the spread of segregation—a segregation resembling the slavery of old.' This stirring sentiment means that irresistible African forces, in a statemanlike way, are preparing to combat segregation in their own homeland. And when the smoke of protesting civilians awake, it becomes clear that the 'Colour Bar' shall have shrunken down to a minute composite. In fact, it may become converted into common sense, if the Transvaal Congress finishes as strong as it has begun. Psychology and the Servant Problem DUE to the fact that so many of the brothers and sisters are employed as personal and domestic servants, the race should extend a vote of thanks to Miss Violet M. Firth (white), noted English writer and psychologist, for her latest contribution, "The Psychology of the Servant Problem." to suffering-humanity, and, particularly, to the many race people, who, while occupying menial positions, are treated more like dogs than human beings. Says Miss Firth: "Only one-half of the labor problem can be solved by wages and hour adjustments; the remainder lies in human relationships and the needs of the human soul. Some employers make their maids so much lower than themselves, when there is not such a big difference after all. A mistress does not demand of her servant work only; she also demands a certain manner, a manner which shall clearly indicate her superiority and the inferiority of the woman who takes her wages. To be INFERIOR is quite a different thing from being SUBORDINATE." If culture means anything (and civilization teaches us that it does) Miss Firth has certainly expanded its virtues in her admonition to employers to treat their servants more like human beings. It is lied enough to work and to toll the tune of their business, cold, and with bulging muscles and throbbing temples, without the lashing pressure of inferiority. Miss Firth, while not trying to picture an ideal domestic world, would have man and mistress put a little more of God in their relations with the humble servant world, a work of necessity and not necessity. She has given vice in humanity and more humanity in service. The lesson is a good one to all employers, who would match their wealth with democracy and justice—not wages and hours alone, but a quantum of peace, understanding and sympathy, together with a sorrow of some the spiritly is the servant worthy of his hire; but, too, he is worthy of his birthright as a child of God—a birthright "scrapped" very frequently by a large percentage of American employers. THE great white world is being publicly "stiff-armed" to death by such a moral decay as has not been revealed since the days of Sodora and Gemorrah. Just when this period of moral finesse, which is loading the great white courts with sordid revelations of crime, will yield to the much boasted inherent racial "superiority," no one seems to know, and the South Carolina judge, who was so disgusted with his people that he openly admitted that the white people were becoming less Christian-like and the colored people more. Christian-like, day by day, in every way, certainly knew what he was talking about. Isn't it shocking? And yet judge Isaac N. Milla, whom we once worshipped on the bench when we were studying law, in his summing up for Kip Rhinelander, said that every white parent in America would rather see their child in the grave than married a cowboy, a common white-colored parent in America would rather see his daughter in the grave, too, than a factor in the great swelling numbers of mulattoes being unfortunately turned out each decade in the Solid South, which believes in moonshine equality only. Noel, the New Jersey slayer (white), has a non-stop ticket to the State executioner's fold. This, he says, is not a mistake. Don't believe either in capital punishment or lynching—two highly sensitized practices of the great white world. Slander, murder, arson, embezzlement, and in other varieties of crime are running wild in the great white world, as never before; and its great Christian church, which has failed miserably in its relations towards the Nesro group, has some tough work cut out for the next decade. If it would crease its power beyond one-candle projection. In the meantime, we can only watch, hope and pray, and feel sad over the rough moral RHEUMATISM ENDED Don't suffer any longer from rheumatism.

Senator A. B. Cummins, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, introduced the bill December 8; Representative George C. Graham, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced the identical bill December 18. Without precedent. In Congress, Chairman of respective Judiciary Committees of both legislative branches he sponsoring the same measure. This presages early consideration and enactment. This bill provides that the Commission will have five members; three of whom shall be members of the colored race. The President will appoint the members, the tenure will be four years. The salary of each member, $5,000 per annum, except in the case of the chairman, who shall be designated by the President, whose salary shall be $7,000 per annum. The Commission will appoint all clerks, agents, investigators and attorneys that will be necessary to conduct their business. The duties of the Negro Industrial Commission shall be to study the economic conditions of the Negra; to study the labor problems in which the Negro is interested; to stimulate and encourage thrift and industry among the Negroes of this country; to promote the general welfare of the Negro in industrial pursuits; to give aid and to encourage the general uplift of the Negro; to work out plans for the solution of the different problems confronting the Negro race of the United States; to consider all questions pertaining to the Negro that may be referred to said Commission by any department of the United States Government and support the proper solution of any and all problems that may be presented to the Commission by any officer of the United States, the governor or Attorney-General of any State or labor department; to investigate all labor questions that may be referred to said Commission by any Governor of any State, and to recommend what is necessary to regulate labor conditions for the best interest of the communities in which the labor question may arise; to recommend what may be necessary for the stability of labor in the different States; to discourage Bok shevism wherever it may exist; to formulate a policy for mutual understanding and confidence between races; to permit to Congress; through the President of the United States, all their acts and doings, and to make such recommendations for the solution of any problem or problems affecting the Negro. The Secretary of the Treasury will provide suitable quarters in Washington D. C. for the Commission. The sum of $200,000 is made available for expenses for the first year. It is probable that the race members of the Commission will be appointed from regional sections of the United States, where the In dustrial and economic conditions of the race need immediate stabilizing.

Mayor Walker NEW YORK'S NEW MAYOR, James J. Walker, has now undertaken seriously the duties of his office and only a pessimist or optimist of the most radical type can foretell what the future holds for the city under his administration. The fact that he is a one hundred per cent Tammany Mayor need not cause alarm, because it carries with it potential advantages and disadvantages. His mandate carries with it one hundred per cent responsibility. IF TAMMANY HALL politics in this State is ever to justify its existence, it will hardly have a better opportunity than it now has. It has complete control of every branch of the city government. The health, education, transit, taxation and other problems ever pressing for solution because of constantly changing conditions rest squarely on the shoulders of Mayor Walker, his official family and other elective members of the present regime. THE FEAR that Mayor Walker's administration would presage a general letting-down of the bars on a reign of lawlessness has been more than offset by the appointment of George V. McLaughlin as Police Commissioner, and the impression given that before accepting the post he insisted that the department be freed of political influences, thus leaving the Commissioner free to raise the standard of the uniformed force and curb the activities of the criminal element preying upon residents of the city. The protection of life and property is the most important job facing Mayor Walker and his police commissioner. BUT BEFORE this end can be achieved there will have to be a reorganization of the Magistrates' Courts, which are becoming more and more a stimulant to crime because of the ease with which criminals slip through the net thrown around them by the police. Each day sees scores of apprehended criminals turned loose by the courts to continue their unlawful pursuits at the expense of the law-abiding citizens of New York. This is particularly discouraging to police efficiency, and results in disrespect for the law by the criminal element and those charged with its enforcement. WE ARE NOT OFFENDED that Mayor Walker omitted making reference to the large number of Negroes living in Greater New York, many of whom voted for his election. Such references mean little and are hardly necessary. As citizens we should take an interest, not only in our own peculiar problems, but in all the problems facing the city administration, and should co-operate in every possible way toward their successful and beneficial solution. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Religion of the Negro To the Editor of The Amsterdam News: Clarence Darrow has given offence to my orthodox brethren. That is a service to the community. The issue he has raised cannot be lightly treated as simply a question for academic discussion. To a mind it is one of practical concern. Religion is vital issue. The ministers who have replied to Mr. Darrow spoke more wisely than they know. They are right the Negro has too little religion. But Darrow is also right: the Negro has too much. My diagnosis of the religious condition of Negro takes as a whole is that they have too much of the wrong and too little of the right kind of religion. Let me here intrude a parenthetical paragraph. It is convenient for the purpose of this discussion, make the local mistake of treating the Negro as peculiar type of being, having his peculiar needs, this instance, his peculiar religion. The Negro however, no such being. Mr. Darrow's remarks are my further comments apply alike to Negroes as whites who are still enslaved by the old and populous theological views; and the remedy in the case of both races is the same. The Negro has too much of the wrong kind of religion, that is, the kind which encourages him to transfer his interest from the here and now to future existence in some other world—the kind which inculcates a servile contentment instead of proving a rebellious discontentment—which (worst all), destroys his personal responsibility by leading him to believe in the possibility of escaping punishment for his wrong doing. In a word, the popular religion of the Negro is wrong in that, if it were consistently lived, which, thank God, it is not, we prevent the building up of a strong, clean, man independent life here and now. From the above the reader has already got idea of the kind of religion which is needed; name a religion which is present and practical, which profoundly concerned with this world, and which makes discontent a virtue if discontent is a necessary preliminary to making earth a place where dwell justice and peace and love; a religion which recognizes that neither the punishment for vice in the reward of virtue is transferable, that whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap, that every man must stand on his own legs, shoulder his own a sponsibilities, and manfully bear the consequence of his own acts—a religion which is the living illumination of the old, virile, but oft forgotten truth, the every man must work out his own salvation. Clarence Darrow has put his finger on an oore. It hurts, but the hurt may lead to a cure. I ush thank him. Let us face the results of our religious ministrations as those results abound on every man and let us judge the tree by its fruits. There is one defect to which I must refer, defect which may be peculiarly Negro. Our color ministers—at least ninety-five per cent of them must at once set out to cleanse their religious meetings from the over-emotionalism which dangerous borders on fanaticism, and from the vulgar communalism which transforms the temple of worship in a house of merchandise. The Negro in these modern days, needs a religion which at once appeals to his mind and to his heart and which in its creeds and its formulas is neither an insult to his reason nor an offence to his conscience. Of this type of religion he has in truth too little. The Religion of the Negro To the Editor of The Amsterdam News: To the Editor of The Amsterdam News: Clarence Darrow has given offence to my orthodox brethren. That is a service to the community.

The ministers who have replied to Mr. Darrow spoke more wisely than they know. They are right: the Negro has too little religion. But Darrow is also right: the Negro has too much. My diagnosis of the religious condition of Negroes taken as a whole is that they have too much of the wrong and too little of the right kind of religion. Let me here intrude a parenthetical paragraph. It is convenient for the purpose of this discussion to make the local mistake of treating the Negro as a peculiar type of being, having his peculiar needs, in this instance, his peculiar religion. The Negro is, however, no such being. Mr. Darrow's remarks and my further comments apply alike to Negroes and whites who are still enslaved by the old and popular theological views; and the remedy in the case of both races is the same. The Negro has too much of the wrong kind of religion, that is, the kind which encourages him to transfer his interest from the here and now to some future existence in some other world—the kind which inculcates a servile contentment instead of provoking a rebellious discontent—which (worst of all), destroys his personal responsibility by lending him to believe in the possibility of escaping punishment for his wrong doing. In a word, the popular religion of the Negro is wrong in that, if it were consistently lived, which, thank God, it is not, would prevent the building up of a strong, clean, manly, independent life here and now. From the above the reader has already got an idea of the kind of religion which is needed; namely, a religion which is present and practical, which is profoundly concerned with this world, and which makes discontent a virtue if discontent is a necessary preliminary to making this earth a place where仁 dwell justice and peace and love; a religion which recognizes that neither the punishment for vice nor the reward of virtue is transferable, that whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap, that every man must stand on his own legs, shoulder his own responsibilities, and manly bear the consequences of his own acts—a religion which is the living illustration of the old, virile, but oft forgotten truth, that every man must work out his own salvation. Clarence Darrow has put his finger on an old sore. It hurts, but the hurt may lead to a cure. Let us thank him. Let us face the results of our religious ministrations as those results abound on every hand, and let us judge the tree by its fruits. There is one defect to which I must refer—a defect which may be peculiarly Negro. Our colored ministers—at least ninety-five per cent of them—must at once set out to cleanse their religious meetings from the over-emotionalism which dangerously borders on fanaticism, and from the vulgar commercialism which transforms the temple of worship into a house of merchandise. The Negro, in these modern days, needs a religion which at once appeals to his mind and to his heart and which in its creeds and its formulas is neither an insult to his reason nor an offence to his conscience. Of this type of religion he has in truth too little. ETHELRED BROWN. Minister Harlem Community Church. 428 St. Nicholas Avenue. January 2. 1926.

C, 369th Infantry, N. Y. N. G. Jan. 1, 1926 How Has the Negro Used His Freedom? SIXTY years ago—on December 18, to be exact—the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution was adopted making slavery unconstitutional in the United States. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863, but since it applied only to persons then held as slaves in the States "in rebellion," and even excepted certain areas in some of those States, the real freedom of the Negro dates from the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment. The present is a fitting time to ask what use the race has made of its freedom in the intervening years. Here are a few highlights from the story: Economic Advance. When freed, in 1865, American Negroes owned 12,000 homes and operated 20,000 farms. Now they own 700,000 homes and operate a million farms. Then they conducted 1,100 businesses; now they conduct 70,000. Meantime, their aggregate wealth has increased from $20,000,000 to $1,000,000,000, one hundred times as much. In 1924 there were 72 Negro banks, with $6,250,000 capital, $20,000,000 of resources, and an annual business of $100,000,000. Thirty-five Negro life insurance companies report $200,000,000 of insurance in force on the lives of 1,100,000 persons. These companies have 8,000 employees and are wholly capitalized and managed by Negroes. One of these companies, the North Carolina Mutual, has more than $42,000,000 of insurance in force and an annual income of over $2,000,000. The farmers' Fire insurance Company of Durham, N. C., has nearly $10,000,000 of insurance in force. Elijah McCoy, Detroit inventor, has taken off fifty-seven patents in America and ten in Europe. The universally used lubricating cup for machinery is one of his inventions. Alongther, thousands of patents have been issued to colored inventors. In 1820 there were in America 352,249 Negroes engaged in skilled and semi-skilled occupations. A big textile mill at La Grange, Ga., uses Negro labor almost exclusively; also a hosery mill at Durham, N.C. Alongther, more than 20,000 Negroes are employed in cottile industries. During the Great War a number of world records for industrial processes were broken by Negro workers. Religion. There are in the United States 47,000 Negro churches, with 5,000,000 members, and 46,000 Sunday schools enrolling 3,000,000 pupils. Members of colored churches contribute annually $50,000 to home and foreign missions. The 322,000 Negro members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in five years contributed $1,941,979 to the Certiary Fund of that church. Negroes have contributed Transportation By C. E. ARMSTRONG. Every enterprise, whether it be the corner store merchant, with annual sales of $25,000, or the gigantic U. S. Steel Corporation, with annual sales of over a billion dollars, are alike affected by poor transportation facilities. The only difference is the size and complexity, of the thing. The problems of the small man mentioned are simple. They center mainly upon getting the proper delivery service from the wholesaler. Without the proper service he is compelled to carry a much larger inventory account, which cuts down his turnover, and compels him to the up funds in merchandise that moves slowly but must be carried because some of his customers desire them. At the other extreme, adequate transportation is of such vital importance to the steel corporation that they cannot afford to leave it to private enterprise, but have gone into the transportation business themselves, thus insuring prompt and better service both to themselves and to their customers. Again, the problem of the small merchant would be very simple if forced to transport his own merchandise. He would have to hire or buy a truck, thorby solving his own problem. All businesses after they have passed the one-man stage are affected by poor transportation service, and By Robert B. Eleazer nearly $350,000 toward the erection of colored Y. M. C. A. buildings in tourteen cities. The Olivet Baptist Church of Chicago is said to be the largest congregation in the world, having a membership of 10,000. It carries on an extensive community program, having fifty-three departments and employing thirty pud workers. Its annual operating budget is about $50,000. Education In 1865 ninety per cent of the Negroes were illiterate; now about twenty per cent. Then there were 100,000 Negroes in school; now 2,150,000. There are in the United States about 10,000 Negro college graduates. Six hundred and seventy-five received the bachelor's degree last year. The degree of doctor of philosophy has been awarded to twenty-three Negroes by American universities. Sixty have been elected to membership in the Phi Beta Kappa scholarship fraternity. In tour years' work, Bunlee Hunton took both the A. B. and A. M. degrees at Smith College, Mass., the largest girls' college in the world. Only one other student at Smith has ever equalled this record. H. S. Blackstone received the degree of Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania at the age of twenty-three, one of the youngest students ever receiving this degree. Constance Crocker finished from the Girl's High School in Boston at the head of a class of 308. Archibald Carey, Chicago high-school student, was awarded first place and a prize of $1,000 in the District Oratorical Contest for high-school students, including several States. Through their churches and otherwise Negroes raise annually $3,000,000 for the support of their schools. The number of Negroes have received Negro colleges sums ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each. Literature and Art. More than a hundred volumes of Negro poetry have been published in America. Countee P. Cullon of New York. In 1923 and again in 1924, won second prize in the Witter Dyner undergraduate poetry contest, open to all colleges of America and participated in by two students representing 200 institutions. Prof. Isaac Fisher of Nashville, Tenn., has won five literary prizes in open national contests, one a prize of $500 offered by Everybody's Magazine ter the best article on prohibition. Helen Perry of Chicago won the third prize of $500 in a $30,000 National Scenario Contest conducted by the Chicago Daily News. There were 27,000 entries in the contest. E. M. Bannlister of Providence, R. L., attained distinction as a painter and founded the Providence Art Club. The French Government has purchased and hung in the Luxembourg Gallery a number of paintings by Henry O. Tanner. King D. Gannaway of Chicago won first honors in the annual Wannamaker Art Exhibit in Philadelphia, in which there were 300 exhibitors. Paul Robeson. Negro actor, has recently achieved remarkable success in America and in England in the role of "Emperor Jones." some retail organizations like the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. are operating a fleet of several hundred trucks. This situation of poor transportation became very acute during the recent World War, when transportation was the crux of every order. In closing all orders, salesmen were asked not what will the merchandise cost, but how soon can it be delivered. This situation led to the placing by merchants and manufacturers of large orders for future delivery in order to protect themselves. The consequence was that when a slump in business became evident, in the spring of 1930, manufacturers had placed millions of dollars in finished or semi-finished products against the future delivery to their customers. On the other hand, the retailer found himself with his shelves and warehouses full of merchandise that he had bought to protect himself against poor delivery when the public was on a buying spree. When a buyers' strike became evident and the public sought values, and bought sparingly, both manufacturer and retailer slashed prices to the bone. There developed in business a disease which at its peak became very acute, called cancellation. The cause of this disease was not entirely due to poor transportation facilities, but it was greatly aggravated by this, because it compelled all dollars to carry a much larger inventory than ordinarily. It behooves the management of Music. Roland Hayes, Georgia Negro, has attained international fame as a tenor, having sung with great success before the most critical audiences of America and Europe, including the King and Queen of England and the Queen Mother of Spain. Harry T. Burleigh, baritone, has for twenty years been a soloist in one of the leading Episcopal churches of New York. Marion Anderson, colored contralto, appeared during the season of 1923-24 as soloist with the Philadelphia Philharmonic Society. J. Rosamond Johnson has composed light operas for Klaw & Erlanger and many popular songs for May Irwin, Lillian Russell, and Anna Held. The Negro and the Flag. During the Spanish American War Negro troops in the Regular Army distinguished themselves at the battles of Guasimus, El Caney and San Juan Hill. Three hundred and eighty thousand American Negroes were enrolled for service in the World War, of whom 200,000 were sent to France. They were the first of the American Expeditionary Force to get into action, and two Negroes of the 360th Infantry were the first American soldiers decorated for bravery. The Croix de Guerre was awarded to four entire Negro regiments for heroism in action. One of these, the 370th, was commanded entirely by Negroes, with the exception of the colonel. Thirty officers of this regiment received medals of honor for bravery. Altogether, some sixty Negro officers were so decorated. Science, Exploration, Athletics Prof. George Carver of Tuskegee Institute is perhaps the best-known agricultural chemist in America and has developed hundreds of products that promise untold value to the South and the nation. Matthew A. Henson was with Commodore Robert A. Peary in his discovery of the North Polo and in seven other Polar expeditions. He was selected, according to Peary, for his adaptability, fitness and loyalty. Three Negro athletes were among the American representatives in the 1924 Olympic games in Paris. One of them, DeHart Hubbard, won the broad jump with a record of 24 feet 6 inches. He has since beaten his own record with a leap of more than 25 feet. In the years 1919-1924, the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission awarded medals to six Negroes for deeds of heroism and sacrifice. "Who's Who in America" for 1925 lists eight-one Negroes in his roster of distinguished Americans. These are but random paragraphs from a story that led Ambassador James Bryce some years ago to assert that, in an equal length of time, no other race had ever made such progress. Contemplating the same record, a well-known Southern-erreally said: "The Negro is not a meme to America. He has proved himself worthy of confidence. He has been and may continue to be a blessing. He only needs unnecessary barriers removed from his way and a chance to demonstrate that under God he is a man and can play a man's part." every new enterprise, retailing or manufacturing, in choosing their business location, to consider the problems of transportation, both for incoming raw materials and outgoing finished products. Tales From Florida WASHINGTON. — Investors, laborers and artisans of the race who have given Florida the "once-over" during the past few months org back a variety of tales. In the land-grabbing and money-making activities, it is claimed that not a few Negroes have made small fortunes within a week or two by the skillful turnover of Florida properties now available at high prices only. Negro labor is now said to be having its day in Florida, with four and five dollars a day as the minimum price for the most mental work. Sixty cents per hour is said to be a low price for janitor services, or for garden men and chore help, while domestic help is said to be enjoying the height of high wages. The Scaboard and Atlantic Coast lines are bringing the full quota of Negroes each day into Florida cities, where they expect ready employment. Notwithstanding the availability of competent Negro help, however, it is intimated that a few promoters are still endeavoring to export labor from nearby islands, to the exclusion of American labor, and, added to this menace, not a few returning Florida migrants report that even in the face of "CATCHING COLD" means an acute inflammation of the respiratory tract — that is, inflammation of the nose, throat or bronchial tubes. The inflammation is due to the activity of the germs and bacteria which have invaded these parts and there multiplying and growing. In their growth and life they produce excretions which attack the mucous membrane of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes. high wages the majority of Florida cities are unattractive to the Negro because of a continuance of the customs of oppression found in Florida here and there. Said one returning migrant: "If they'd only give us a square deal all around, with good home facilities and schools to educate our children, Florida would be the best spot on the earth." These germs get into the atmosphere by means of people coughing, sneezing and exerting. In theatres, halles, churches, where congregate many hundreds of people, with doors and windows closed especially during the Winter months, the atmosphere becomes surcharged and vitiligated with an excess of carbon dioxide, which is exhaled by the many people during the act of breathing. "This irritates the contulence of the nose. AMEICAN NEGRO ACADEMY MEETS WASHINGTON.—In 1937, an association was organized by Rev. Alexander Crummell and named The Negro Academy. Its purpose as defined by the organizers was to defend Negro citizens against vicious assault, to foster higher education and the publication of scholarly works, and to promote the development of literature, science and art. A number of papers covering every phase of the go-called "Negro problem" have been published by the society and are on file in the principal libraries and educational institutions of the world. The twenty-ninth annual convention was held in this city December 28 and 29, with business sessions at the Mu-So-Lit Club, and open meetings at the Cleveland Community Center. Mr. Arthur R. Schomburg of New York is president of the organization. Book C by MARY WHITE OVIN "The Long Walk of Sa By Jerome and Jean Tharaud. Trai by Duffield & Co., 211 E. 19th By mail, $1.85.

From there it ran across the country from Cayor to Kidougon from Dioloi to Saloum, from Sine to Damantang from Podor to Kantan." So this story opens. How many of these places do you know, readers of Book Chat? I confess that after passing Dakar I knew none, and with the aid of two atlases and a recent large map of Rama McNally's could only locate Kantan. This, I think, is typical of our ignorance of the Dark Continent and makes these novels dealing with native life not only entertaining but instructive. Samba, Diouf's long walk is from Niomi "between the two great rivers which flow southward through the Dakar country," to France and the firing line. He starts on a much shorter trip, to the land of the Foulats to secure an inheritance from his mother's brother, bulls, oxen, heifers, sheep and goats. Before he gets there he is craftily made drunk by a Mahommedan Mandingo chief, and then bound and sent as a recruit in place of the chief's son. Thus he leaves Africa and becomes a soldier in the army of France. his inheritance and his sweetheart has not been faithful to him, though she is ready to have him again. Samba Diouf makes the best of things and we see him at the last going to the home of his love. And on that very night "the 113 black battalion once more went over the top in an assault on the Alimans. And Sama Sarr, the comed driver, and Corporal Lacasse—the last survivors of the 7th squadron in which Samba Diouf had served—fell side by side, struck by the same Half of the book describes the life of the African soldier, for the most part not on the firing line but road-making, and on summer nights singing and dancing some tribal dance. With Autumn the men's spirits grow weary, they hate the wet roads and their big shoes (made ridiculously long) and at night they huddle together, without ventilation, their chests torn with coughing. When at last the word comes that they may go to the front, however, they have learned to know one another, and Bambaras, Culoufs, Mandingos, Toucouleurs, Sererves, Sominks Timnes, Lobous, people of the North and people of the South have become comrades. (No a bad thing for them, perhaps when they go back to their homes.) Our hero, Samba, gets to the trenches, is wounded, goes to the hospital, and, minus arm, is decorated for his courage and sent home. There he finds things much as he left them save that prices are higher than to merely and is expected to produce wealth in which he does not possess. He is cheated out of the most of --- and Crowds means an acute inflammation tract that is, inflammation or bronchial tubes.

These germs get into the atmosphere by means of people coughing, sneezing and exorotating. In the theatres, halls, churches, where congregates many hundreds of people, with doors and windows closed, especially during the Winter months, the atmosphere becomes surcharged and vitiated with an excess of carbon dioxide, which is exhaled by the many people during the act of breathing. This irritates the mucous membrane of the nose and throat, and many people whose air passages are already inflamed, begin to cough and sneeze; quite often these people do not use a handkerchief or hand over the mouth and nose during this act of coughing and sneezing; the result is bacteria and germs in the small particles of mucous during the act of coughing and sneezing saturates the surrounding atmosphere; in this way the people inhale these infectious germs. If you are fatigued tired, and with a low resistance then these germs, having gained entrance into the nose mouth and throat, develop and grow and the next day you are suffering with a "cold."

And Sama Sarr, the camel driver, and Corporal Lecline Classe—the last survivors of the 7th squadron in which Samba Diont had served—fell side by side, struck by the same shell in the land of the Toubals." Compared with Bataula this is a tame insignificant book. It has nothing to the passion and second or third of the history of that volume. But it gives a more accurate picture of the nature and there are bits here and there that show keen observation and deep sympathy. It is clear that it was written in the French public, and it includes one of our present matters in all things. Negro than it was reconstituted.
