COP HAS NARROW ESCAPE The Ballot Box IT IS said that Uncle Sam's searchlight is being turned on the ballot box of the Birmingham, Ala., district, which heretofore has been as far out of the reach of the brother as the tail of Halley's comet. On Monday, two colored women, while attempting to qualify for the ballot box, were openly charged with disorderly conduct, arrested and placed in jail. This, startling, but not unusual, procedure was followed in Alabama with the "sirene" disclosure that Uncle Sam's men from the Department of Justice had been on the job some time making an inquiry into Alabama methods of registering voters. Of course, Alabama does not differ from its sister states in pernicious instrumentalities of evasion, under which the brother is carefully "persuaded" not to vote. After even giving prejudice a 100 per cent rating, so far as potential strength is concerned, it is difficult to see why the South does not want the brother to be on speaking terms with the ballot box. When the eyes of southern white leaders and statesmen fill with tears and a choking voice proclaims that they are the Negro's best friend, it is surprising that they continue to advocate those things which, under the trend of Americanism, are regarded, not only as the greatest expressions of friendship, but the absolute proofs of citizenship and full civic manhood. When a man comes to Congress by the grace of only the white votes of his district or state, in the face of the fact that from one-fourth to one-half, in many instances, of the "vote" is stifler before it even views the ballot box, it must be admitted that it is a mockery upon the Constitutional Amendments which elevated the brother, in theory at least, to full citizenship. Under the law, there is hardly any doubt but that the Fifteenth Amendment can be enforced by Federal machinery. If evidence is being complied, then every colored citizen in the "voteless" areas should rush to put in the record positive proofs of the electoral predicament of his race. Let's make it unanimous and preponderating. And let the South face the truth that the Fifteenth Amendment is alive, and that since eventually it is to be enforced, along with the Eighteenth, the beginning might as well be made NOW. Students and Strikes BELIEVE it is written in the good Book of Proverbs. "My Son! Discretion shall preserve thee; under-(Continued on Page 12.)

Morton Presiding Public Invited TO "BREAK THE BONDS" Patronize Only Stores Employing Negroes MacMILLAN TELLS WHY PERRY TOOK HENSON ON FINAL DASH TO POLE SELECTION WAS MADE BECAUSE OF HIS ABILITY SELECTION WAS MADE BECAUSE OF HIS ABILITY Address Made Over Chicago Radio Station—Perry-Cook Controversy Revived CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—Captain Donald MacMillan, famous Arctic explorer, broadcasting from WJAZ. the Zenith Radio Station, Straus Bldg., Thursday evening, Jan. 21, 1926, told his radio audience why Rear Admiral Robt. E. Peary, discoverer of the North Pole, selected Matthew Henson for the final dash to the goal. Henson lives in New York City. "Admiral Peary has been criticized for not taking a white man with him to the Pole, but taking instead two Eskimos and the colored man, Matt Henson," MacMillan said. "During Peary's 18 years' effort to reach the Pole, Matt Henson accompanied him on every expedition. He is one of the best dog team drivers in the world to day." "Some of our men, dog teams and sleds of food were dropped every twenty-five miles to constitute supply stations for Peary's return trip from the Pole. I went with the expedition to a point within 150 miles of the Pole, and when it was found that supplies could be taken for only two men besides the Eskimos in their last lap to the Pole. Peary made the decision and picked the fittest man. There is no other answer to it. Matt Henson was his choice, because he was the best man in the party. "Admiral Peary showed no racial discrimination, but chose the fittest man for the extremely hard and hazardous job of making those long marches in a temperature 60 below zero." Matt Henson is now the only living civilized man who has been to the North Pole. Admiral Peary made eight unsuccessful attempts to reach the North Pole, and in 1909 accomplished his successful dash. Aside from Henson, he was accompanied on this dash by four white men George Bomp, Ross Marvin, Robert Bartlett, MacMillan and a num-(Continued on Page 2.)

BOULIN DETECTIVE AGENCY 110 East 125th St. Harlem 3842 (day) Brad. 0650 (night) EXTRA THREE DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR BELLEFONTE, Pa., Jan. 25.—Robert Brue, Leaman Crocker and Irving Grinage, convicted of slaying Jonathan Klopp, white, a rural store-keeper, near Robesonia, Pa., Sept. 26, 1924, were electrocuted at the penitentiary at Rockview today. Grinage was the first to go to the chair. It was necessary to assist him from his cell, where he had been praying during his last minutes of life. Brue, the last to be strapped to the chair, was accompanied to the death chamber by the Rev. A. E. Escheelman, of Reading. Yesterday Brue told Mr. Escheelman that he was the one who fought with Klopp during the robbery of the store. In the struggle, Brue said, a revolver in his hand was discharged, killing Klopp. The other men. Brue declared, remained outside the room, and took no part in the fight. Charge Clerk With Brought Back Short-Changing From Norfolk Pays Mrs. Wilbur Cohen Amount Involved Charge Dropped Mrs. Wilbur Cohen, wife of the pupilat, of 221 Madison avenue, alleges that she was short, changed $10 by a clerk in the Feltham shoe store, 142 W. 125th street, and made a complaint against him in the Washington Heights Court Monday. The action was brought against the clerk whose name is Phaneuf, white, 27, of 476 De Kalb avenue. While passing the show window with her husband, Mrs. Cohen said that her attention was attracted by a pair of shoes. On looking at them for several minutes she said that she decided to buy them. After having the shoes fitted to her feet, she said that she gave the clerk a twenty dollar bill. The cost of the shoes was $6.34. The clerk only gave her $3.66 in change, she said. The complainant's husband, who is a prize fighter in the ban-tanweight division, said that he then intruded and called the clerk's attention to the wrong change that had been given his wife. The clerk refused to make the correction in the change. Cohen said that he sent his wife for a policeman. Before the officer had arrived Phaneuf had refused to even give Cohen a bill of sale. Following the order of the policeman, the clerk wrote on a slip of paper the cost of the shoes and the amount of money that he had given in change. After the testimony of the pupil list and his wife, Magistrate Corrigan upon the advice of Assistant District Attorney Charles White ordered that a complaint of petty arceney he drawn out against the man. Phaneuf then made a plea to the court to permit him to make an adjustment. He then paid the amount involved. H. Adolph Howell Honored. H.

THE NEW YORK Detectives Recover Over Thousand Dollars Worth of Stolen Loot With the arrest of Minnie Francis, 28, formerly of 30 West 155th street, charged with the theft of clothing valued at $1,258 from the home of Fannie Cohen, white, 346 East 158th street, the entire loot of the theft has been recovered from pawnships in Harlem and Norfolk, Va. The prisoner was brought back to New York by Detective Burke of the Bathgate Police Station, following her arrest by Norfolk authorities. The charge against her is grand larceny. According to the detective's story, the accused woman, while employed in the Cohen home as a domestic, disappeared on December 22 with the clothing, including two fur coats. From his inquiries in Harlem, Detective Burke learned that the woman was in Norfolk and wired the police there to apprehend her. She was taken into custody during the first part of the week. Dr. Wiley Wilson and Miss Richardson Wed Dr. Wiley Wilson, prominent physician and divorced husband of A'Lelia Walker, was married to Miss Inez Richardson, musician and school teacher, Monday morning. The ceremony was privately performed in the office of Justice of the Pence Fisk, in Greenwich, Conn. Miss Richardson is formerly of Cleveland, Ohio. Because of so many patients that are under his care at this time, it was necessary for Dr. Wilson to delay their honey-moon trip for several days. FUMES FROM COKE FATAL TO JANITOR Fumes from burning coke in the basement of a house in West 143d street caused the death Thursday of Louis Hall, aged thirty. Mrs. Louise Thomas found him unconscious in a washroom. She notified Patrolman Burns of the West 125th street station. Dr. Paley of Harlem Hospital found Hall dead. CHARGES WIFE WITH LARCENY; HIS OWN LIFE LAID BARE CHARGES WIFE WITH LARCENY; HIS OWN LIFE LAID BARE Says Spouse Took $400 From His Trunk While He Was Handcuffed to Detectives—Divorce Action to Follow At bringing a complaint against his wife for an alleged robbery, the secret love and relation with another woman by Howard Ramsey. 215 West 145th street, was revealed in the Washington Heights Court Monday. Ramsey, who is a baker for the National Biscuit Company, claimed that his wife, Mrs. Ersilne Ramsey, took $400 from his trunk while he was handcuffed by detectives of the Boulin's Agency. The complaint was dismised. During the testimony of Detective Herber, Boulun, Ramsey shouted out in court and caused an uproar for several minutes. He branded the testimony of the officer as being false. The district attorney threatened to draw a complaint against him for contempt of court. When his wife testified, the complainant thumped his hat, pulled his overcoat and exhibited extreme uneasiness. Mrs. Ramsey testified that on December 27th at 2 a.m., she caught her husband in a room with another woman at 255 W, 145th street. She was accompanied by detectives and three other witnesses. When she demanded that he give her the birth certificates of their children, he attempted to strike her. Mrs. Ramsey also asked her husband for love letter that she had written to him. After Ramsey had dressed, Mrs. Ramsey said that he took them to his apartment on 145th street and took the love letters and birth certificate from his trunk and gave them to her. Although the detectives and other witnesses were excluded from the court room while the principals gave their testimony, they completely corroborated the story of Mrs. Ramsey. A witness for Ramsey was severely grilled by the attorney for the defendant. His alibi that he saw the complainant's wife break open the trunk from which the money was supposed to have been taken was ridiculed. Spectators in the court room roared with laughter when the glaring testimony of the witness for Ramsey was broken down by Attorney Richard E. Carey, who represented Mrs. Ramsey. Ramsey in testifying in his own behalf said that he was sitting in a chair in the bedroom of his friend when the detectives and witnesses for his wife entered the apartment. He said that the detectives handcuffed him and forced him to answer questions. They then took him to his apartment and broke open his trunk and stole the money, he said. The woman involved in the case has several children. She did not appear in court. Divorce action against Ramsey has already been brought by Mrs. Ramsey through her lawyer, it was learned. Christian Herald Tour to Holy Land Excludes Colored Virginia Minister Rev. W. A. Price Obtains Settlement of $150 for Loss of Time and Railroad Expense—Fare Returned Rev. W. A. Price, of Alexandria, Virginia, who had booked a passage for "The Christian Herald Mediterranean Cruise and Pilgrimage to the Holy Land," under the direction of James W. Boring, has obtained a settlement of $150 from Mr. Boring because his reservation was cancelled on the ground he was a Negro and the only colored person who had sought to go. This announcement was made by the N. A. A. C. P. Rev. Price saw numerous advertisements of the cruise published during the Summer of 1875 in the Christian Herald, to which he had been a subscriber for ten years. The cruise was to take place on the steamship Republic, sailing from New York on January 21. On January 6. Rev. Price received a letter from Mr. Boring expressing the fear that, as the only member of his race on the cruisel Rev. Price "would feel out of place and embarrassed on the Republic." Mr. Boring advised Rev. Price to postpone his trip until next Summer, when a party including Negroes is to go to the Holy Land. Rev. Price replied that he did not wish to withdraw or postpone his trip, stating: "I am sure there could not be any more embarrassment than to have to withdraw after having perfected all arrangements." After a representative of the Christian Herald Tour had called upon Rev. Price and failed to persuade him to forego the trip, the following telegram from Mr. Boring arrived at Rev. Price's home after he had left for New York: We find it advisable cancel your reservation for transportation on steamship Republic Mediterranean cruise as per general conditions set forth on page 30 of cruise booklet, in which right is reserved to decline to accept or retain any person as member of cruise at any time. Certified check covering amount deposited by you for reservation and passport visas, also cost of your passport will be mailed you tomorrow. Rev. Price, upon his arrival in New York claimed his passage. When it was refused, he applied for help to the N. A. A. C. P., where he was assured he could have legal assistance if he wanted to bring suit, and a conference was arranged with Arthur B. Spingarn, vice-president of the N. A. A. C. P. and chairman of the National Legal Committee. At a lengthy conference, Graham Patterson, publisher of the Christian Herald, declared the paper was helpless and, after requesting Rev. Price to leave the room, told an N. A. A. C. P. representative that he would advise Rev. Price not to make the trip. Walter White then insisted that Mr. Patterson repeat this statement in person to Rev. Price. Suit was made unnecessary, however, when Rev. Price accepted a settlement from the Christian Herald Tour director of $150 for the loss in time, railroad fare and trouble he had sustained. Attempted Assault Charged. For attempting to stab Thomas Gladly, 20 West 136th street, Oscar Ferguson, 227 West 18th street, was held in $500 ball by Magistrate Douress in the Washington Heights Court Sunday morning. 16 PAGES Complete In Two Sections 3c. IN GREATER NEW YORK ELSEWHERE 5c PULLMAN PORTER FREED OF CHARGE BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 25.—Boston's municipal court freed Pullman Porter Mabry C. Oglesby of a liquor charge framed on him, it is claimed, to prevent his election as employee representative, under the Pullman Company union plan, to the Chicago wage conference. Oglesby, it is claimed, was dismissed from service after 25 years' work with a clear record. Oglesby was charged two years ago with transporting a passenger without turning in the fare, but was cleared. Detroit Cops Kill Unarmed Man Speedy Exoneration in Direct Contrast to That Taken in Case of White Citizen DETROIT. Mitch. Jan. 25.—Marcus Lawhorn, of 550 Watson street, was shot in the back and killed here last Wednesday afternoon, by Patrolman Roy Rollyson. It is reported that a squad of officers, of which Rollyson was a member, went to the Watson street house in answer to a telephone call informing them that a disturbance was in progress there. They found Lawhorn in his apartment, where it is said a quantity of narcotics was thought to be concealed. It is alleged that when the officers attempted to arrest Lawhorn, he ran from the house. He was followed by Patrolman Rollyson through the back door and out into the alley at the rear of 534 Erskine. When Lawhorn stopped, the officer shot him in the back, killing him almost instantly. Rollyson was promptly exonerated, as it was claimed by the officers that the victim had attempted to place his hand in his hip pocket, as if to draw a weapon. Eye-witnesses to the tragedy, testify, however, that no weapons were found on the dead man's body, not even a knife. The speedy exoneration of Patrolman Rollyson in this case is in striking contrast to the condemnation recently accorded another patrolman of the Detroit force, who was promptly suspended and arrested for shooting a white citizen.—Exchange. Claims Blood Reveals One's Race Origin According to a dispatch to the Associated Press, blood tests to identify descendants of those who crossed the Atlantic in the Mayflower or to expose fake survivors of the Light Brigade soon will be possible if experiments of Dr. F. O. Manoloff, Russian blood specialist, are extended, this scientist claims. The old adage, "blood will tell," is literally true. Dr. Manoloff says. Though his experiments have been limited to Europeans, he asserts that by blood analyses he can tell a Chinese from a Japanese, a German from a Pole, Out of 1,362 Russians and Jews whose ancestry had been traced, Dr. Manoloff said that his tests enabled him to distinguish between the two races with 88 per cent accuracy. At a clinic attended by five disfigured savants, who took samples of blood from 202 persons of various races and nationalities, Dr. Manoloff, without seeing the persons, diagnosed correctly the nationalities and race of 137, an error of only 7.5 per cent. His analyses are based upon color solutions. REVOLVER'S FAILURE TO FIRE SAVES LIFE OF OFFICER All Other Chambers Were Loaded Patrolman Robinson Pursues and Disarms Assailant Patrolman William Robinson of the 135th street police station narrowly escaped death when a man with a 45 calibre loaded revolver snapped it at him Sunday afternoon. The assailant gave his name as Lewis G. Love, 2238 Fifth avenue. When arraigned in the Washington Heights Court Monday morning Love was held in $15,000 bail on charges of felonious assault and violation of the Sullivan Law. While on post at Fifth avenue and 135th street, Patrolman Robinson said that he was attracted by a large crowd in front of No. 2238 Fifth avenue. On arriving at the scene the officer said that he found Love in the midst of the crowd with a revolver in his hand. The policeman said that he immediately drew his service gun and ordered the prisoner to drop his weapon. In response to the officer's demand to drop the revolver Less pointed the pistol at him and pulled the trigger. The gun failed to report. Love then ran into the hallway of the premises. Patrolman Robinson followed him. In the hallway Love, who is about six feet and weighs about 175 pounds, resisted arrest by the officer. For ten minutes the officer said that he battled with his prisoner in an attempt to disarm him. On examining the revolver at the station house it was discovered that when the trigger was pulled it fell on an empty chamber. The other chambers were loaded. The officer testified that he could not shoot, for there were over ten children on the stoop and in the doorway. Love was sentenced last October to Sing Sing on a similar charge. Patrolman Robinson was awarded one of the highest medals in the police department for heroism by Commissioner Enright last December. Dodges Dishes; Shoots Wife 133rd Street Thrown in Uproar Following Domestic Quarrel Following a quarrel, William Monroe, 45, 216 West 133d street, shot and wounded his wife, Mrs. Jessie Monroe, in their home Friday. In the course of the argument Monroe said that his wife hurled a number of plates at his head, lodging the shower of dishes. Monroe said that he went into their bedroom and got his 33-callbre revolver. He then fired three shots at his wife, one of which struck her in the back of the neck. The shots attracted neighbors, who telephoned to the police station. After Detectives Dennison and Bauerschmidt responded to the call, Mrs. Monroe was removed to Harlem Hospital. Monroe was arrested and charged with felonious assault. Miss OLIVE HOPKINS Mt.

This she did last Sunday night when she appeared at Aedon Hall. To us the success which she attained is most gratifying, for again we find her grasping her opportunity and rising to heights which have been her years of her worth and predicted the success she is now enjoying can appreciate. Under the management of people with vision unobscured to what she can do if given the opportunity, she will not rise to force America to problem her. Surrounded by an array of real talent from among her own race and with a vehicle which can only be produced from the most advanced of the noblest Roman of them all, Mrs Milk can add lustre to a time which has been accorded much from the early days of shuffle Along." A visit on the New York Evening Journal writing on her latest attempt last Sunday night had the following to say: "The International Composers' could last night at Anaconda Hall presented what was - for them—a fairly respectful assortment of of all the more than dry on its staved paper, and one piece, indeed, bore the date, 1926. in the lead. She had some comely difficult things to sing the part that takes brains and sat ability even to memorize—the counsel just as much, as the ability to think on the ground though they had been honoring her jazz melodies. When they really were was jazz in the hurry in the devil's grip of self-conscious artifactiality, she were for our songs, called "Love Land," by William Grant Whit that don't let the name misuse. The Leove Land was the Sergei Bergerian Vienna Mishler. Will is a Negro who began with unquaintable talent, but he has been studying composition the last three years with Varese. Mr. Varese thinks Will express the fourteen dimensions and the Einstein theory in imagining those two things in jazz and piano, andaman jazz and piano, andaman jazz and piano, andaman jazz and piano." And she love to Miss Mills for what she sold with it. The audience went wild over it, there was a strong hint that she could really do in stirring of these distortions, to believe if she would give a surprise of real Negro jazz and a handful of spirituals she would create a vague that could that of Roland Hayes and Paul Robinson put together.

Florence Mills Hits at Aeolian Hall Sunday Eyebrows Make or Mar Beauty, Avers Film Star Eyebrows Make or Mar Beauty, Avers Film Star About Things Theatrical Pola Negri Advises Use of Eyebrow Brush and Warns About Coloring By Pola Negri (Her latest Paramount picture, "A Woman of the World," is now playing at the Lincoln Theatre.) Eyebrows can make or mar the expression of a face. They are among the most valuable and important means of expression an actress has at her disposal. Frequently the eyes are given credit for portraying some emotion when it is really done by the eyebrows. Just picture to yourself some beautiful girl absolutely devoid if eyebrows are not an alluring thought at all! Is it not O'Fancy the same girl with black, bushy, beetling brows. Immediately you become suspicious of her because you have long associated this type of brow with stage villains. So you can see why I pay the greatest of attention to my eyebrows. And I will share some of my secrets with you. In the first place you should use your eyebrow brush just as regularly as you do your tooth brush. This serves to stimulate the eyebrows and will help to keep the brows smooth and clean. Occasionally you may find in the eyebrows small particles which are similar to the dandruff of the hair. In this case apply carefully a little good hair tonic or a tiny bit of vaseline. Plucking the eyebrows to secure a slender arch is often done these days, but it should be carefully studied and the brows made to conform with the shape of the eye in a heavy type of face if not improved and an arch of exaggerated fineness. Use a touch of vaseline before pulling as it presents part of the sting. The people finding enjoyment in those shows of the present day feel themselves well regaled with something they consider way above the ordinary when given the "Plantation Revue," because in their enjoyment of these vehicles they make no difference in those shows. But the opportunity under the best conditions what has been in order among their brothers and slaters here in New York "Plantation" come so them like a heaven-sent offering in which they find their greatest pleasure. And we say these things without the least thought of affronting or taking those running the theatre to task. Mr. Schiffman is putting over the house, for it to him to find out just what would draw the largest number of people. Many blondes feel that they need to darken their eyebrows and lashes. If they do, they should always use a dark brown stain instead of black and apply it sparingly. Sunday Concert Draws Fine Gathering at the Renaissance He hit upon the plan and today his audiences are large. All honor to him. At the same time we do say that the Lafayette is not enjoying the reputation of being the house it was when such as Gilpin, Mitchell, and John Lafayette audiences prided themselves upon being able to go into the house to see things not being shown at any other theatre catering to colored people in Greater New York, one finds that the offerings are no better than Mr. Shoyer has been in a position to show at his theatre for decades. That is what made the difference in these two houses. Winsome Bebe Daniels in "The Splendid Crime" at This Theatre the Latter Half of This Week. Last Sunday at the Renaissance Theatre the largest crowd that has been attracted yet to the popular Sunday afternoon concerts given there each Sunday by the Renaissance Concert Orchestra was noted. This was encouraging to Director E. Gilbert Anderson and the men who comprise this starling orchestra that has been giving music at the Renaissance Theatre Sunday afternoons for several weeks. This innovation, instituted by the management of the Renaissance Theatre, has been a costly venture, yet the price of admission has not been raised for these concerts, the regular admission precailing, which also includes the Sunday afternoon program, should you wish to remain after the concert The Lafayette being larger and with a capacity to house bigger and, yes, better things. It was conceded that the house had become one of distinction—you know, folks—kind of an Elfinge Theatre as compared with the Columbia Theatre. What we are trying to show in all this is that the Lafayette Theatre occupies the same position as John T. Gibson's standard Theatre in Philadelphia. What went at the theater when we were a corporate wall guard to the Lafayette in those same days, but Schiffman has hit upon the discovery of the things that will fill the Lafayette at a cheaper price and that's what he came for, and he is a success; at least so far. Hence, those of us writing on the shows will either have to join the dispensers of "Puritee Praise" or pass up the offerings. We believe that even Mr. Schiffman will forgive us for this trance of thought when he realizes that he is going along, along with our entertainment, we also received inspiration. We performers reaching the heights which brought many a shining star from Broadway to gaze in rapture at Aunt Dinah's children rising up and taking their rightful place among other Americans, and if we perchure regret the passing of these things it is with no hard feeling to one who must run his theatre as a business investment without that sympathetic understanding that would perhaps entitle the loss of many dollars. That would be asking too much. The fault lies with and not with those who come from the little Crescent Theatre to a brighter day and find ourselves descending from the light into the darkness where we are expected to praise things not worthy of praise. The feature picture for Thursday and Friday, January 25 and 20, at the Redemption Theatre will be Bob Behnke in "The Splendid Crime." This is a William de Mille production with Neil Hamilton. It is a story of a girl crook who is caught in a story with a deep moral but it is one that will bring many laughs. Baltimore, Maryland, also feels the sting of disappointment. About a month ago we took occasion to tell our readers that shows coming here from the "stickle" could not carry the same appeal to people who had for years been in the habit of enjoying the best. We particularly direct the attention of the former "Billboard" writer to the fact that they are from an American-American, as from being a "die hard" but Kennan is apparently either the "fourth estate" which has the courage of his convictions as can be seen by glimming the following from last week's Afro: Saturday, Sunday and Monday, January 20, 21 and February 1, the attraction will be that sensational drama, the Dark Angel, with the Colored Coat of Arms starring. The film is the picture version of a spectacular stage success and in it is seen the screens most wonderful lovers. "The Dark Angel" is one of the finest pictures ever screened and it will illuminate the Renaissance Theatre capacity houses at each program. "It's about time that showmen stopped coming to town with camouflaged TENT SHOWS and telling us that they are musical comedies. We are sticklers for truth and proportion, and are not so gullible as to believe that the better kind has been taken advantage of by a few plays, backed by some veneal minded Negroes, and thus they foist a lot of junk on people who suffer the agonies of it all in order to see the pictures. Sophisticated Baltimore does not care to see what Waycross, Georgia Bunkerhill, Mississippi, and other communities of meager facilities, are obliged to stand for. Mister, please keep your stuff under your big top, and scratch Baltimore off your route list. Save your outside ballyhoo for the cotton fields and tobacco factories. We'll manage to struggle along without you." See where "Lulu Belle." Mr. Belasco's new "black and white show" is in the initial stage for its pilgrimage to Broadway. Colored people expecting to see members of their own race in advantageous roles are going to be disappointed. Mr. Belasco, like all other white men in the world of the theatre of the present day, finds it impossible to give us that which is expected from colorful arcane arcane are will hook up on the white ladies to play the leading role, while Miss Evelyn Prest will assume a minor part. You can emphasize the minor in the part. What will be disclosed for your edification when the charming "Lain Belle" makes her appearance here will be the appearance of a colored lady in the person of Miss Evelyn Peer, who had reached great success in her career as a teacher, and supposed to know more about colored people than colored themselves, will be given the electric light signs and the leading part. We understand that about seventy of our own will be in the production, and as we see for ourselves that Mr. Belasco refuses to go far enough with the idea of coloring, we are going to be ing to bet the fifty cents we have not on deposit at the Chelsea Exchange Bank that if some other white man will secure a theatre right next door to where "Lain Belle" is expected to show and revive. Alex Rogers "Baby would spend mere fine trying to learn something from "Baby Blues" than in watching the result of its own abortion. Elinor Glyn's Vivid and Stirring Love Story at the New Douglas "The Only Thing," by Author Whose Books Won Great Acclaim, Said to Be One of the Best Things Done for the Silver Screen in Many Years When Elinor Glyn starts out to tell a love story it is done in such a realistic way that one is carried along living with the leading characters and breathing with them, too. Madame Glyn's books first won acclaim and now she is making as definite a name for herself in her screen productions, for they are utterly unlike any other pictures made and one is always sure of a palpitating moment or two when viewing a picture of hers. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JAN. 27. 1926 From time to time, as we review the many things we say in these columns, we have oftimes stopped to wonder if we stood alone in many opinions herein voiced. And this because we would hate to be looked upon as one of those writers designated as a "know-all" seeking to change the world overnight and spouting impossible ideas, which, if not accepted, would leave us with a chip on our shoulder against the world. For our own information we carefully watched the reaction of the Roland Hayes controversy in Washington and rise to admit that we are more than gratified to find that those Negroes whose thoughtful writings appear weekly in the colored papers throughout the country seemed to have been of the same opinion put forth by us when the matter first came to light. "The Only Thing," which will play at the New Douglas, Sunday and Monday, Jan. 31, Feb. 1, is by far the best picture she has given to the screen, even surpassing in interest the passionate story of "Three Weeks" and the fiery one of "His Hour." In the almost twenty years we have been fiddling around and about on colored newspapers, we have made it a habit to carefully watch those in our particular sphere and praise where we believe praise is deserving and launch out where we recognized the bluffer and poser seeking to keep in the good graces of certain people by a policy of praise without stint and where such is far from being deserving. Characters Definitely Portrayed. The characters is this newest Glyn offering are real. There is a Queen who might easily be a Queen. That is the leading feminine role played by Eleanor Boardman. Her exterior is dignified but there is a warmth beneath that is clearly discernible. Miss Boardman wears a blonde wig for the occasion, is so smiling and gives the screen follows a new fair-headed beauty that easily might rival any blonde star on the screen. There is a grace and ease about Miss Boardman's performance that carries on away. To our way of thinking such an attitude hinders instead of helps. If we cannot in this day and time point the way of TRUTH on a foundation of SERVIOE then the case of our striving for the better things of this life is hopeless. At the present writing we are enjoying a splendid opportunity to join with a number of actors and certain other people in helping to hold up to ridicule our dear friend, Miranda Tattler, for the account which she wrote of the show last week at the Laundry. The truth is fair that we take sides with Mirandy and tell the world she spoke the truth. We saw the show and what we saw of it forces us to the conclusion that those critics seeing so much in it must either be blind or trying hard to please those responsible for that monstrosity which tried to pass as a musical comedy. Of course, we expected our friend in Washington to praise it to the skies, as he did, and try to fortify it with words of encouragement. We would be accustomed to accept his I Told You So" after it came here. Well, he can resort to that timeworn phrase and with all the pleasure in the world. Bennie Butler's account of "Struttin' Sam From Alabama" is just the kind we would have written did we have the time so to do in our last issue. Conrad Nagel plays the leading male role, that of Harry Vane, Duke of Chevenix. He looks as he never has before. In his court uniforms, in armor and in his naval uniforms, he presents a new Nagel. His flery love for the beautiful Queen is nobly portrayed and one finds a sparkle never discerned before in this performance of his. Of course, one cannot deny that the show did play to large houses at the Lafayette. Pine. They did all this and more, perhaps, but the fact remains that she was from being in and of product in New York, and that she was from information coming into New York. But let us also take into consideration the fact that many in the audiences at the Lafayette Theatre today occupying orchestra and box seats are not the same that know the Lafayette Theatre in the days of the Reagan era. She was a director of Internal Revenue Charles Anderson, in a beautiful flow of oratory, introduced this great English actor to an appreciative gathering, The story tells of a young Englishman who is sent to represent his King at the wedding of an old King to a beautiful Princess. Arriving at the court of Chekia several days before the nuptial ceremony he meets and falls in love with the Princess and she reciprocates his love. Then follow scenes that are full of drama. There are secret meetings in the boulder of the Princess. And there is much pliance of the part of the king for the wants the Princess to flee with him, abandoning all thoughts of marrying the King and marrying him instead. But the Princess is firm in her decision to stand by her country, going through with the ceremony which makes the alliance with Chieks.

Paris—famed to the far corners of the earth for its eternal aptit of galley, with its fevershift attractiveness concealing packs of she wolves—is vividly brought to the screen in this latest Fox attraction. Beautiful Alma Rubens portrays the role of a loveless bride who abandons her country husband to the dangers of Paris. Jack Mulhall is cast in the leading role opposite the stately star and, with extreme finesse, interprets the outcast husband. Harry Myers lends his buoyant personality to a humorous role—a companion to the luckless husband among the human beasts. Jibiana Jiller is seen as the "Queen of the Pack" Judy King is a bowtitching little girl of the cafes. "She Wolves" was adapted from the stage play, "The Man in Evening Clothes."

The Versatile Three, arriving here from London recently, after being absent from this country for a long time, got to a big start last week at the Capital Theatre, Union Hill, N. J., and left Saturday night to fill other engagements in Boston. The trio has been booked for fifteen weeks on the Keith-Albee Circuit of houses, going as far west as St Louis on the two-a-day, with an option of another fifteen weeks if they see fit to renew the contract. Augustus Haston, a member of the trio, who for years acted as European correspondent of the Amsterdam troop, dropped in to give the glad hand shortly after his return to the United States and also upon the eve of leaving to fill dates in the leading theatres of the country. Speaking for the trio, Haston says they are all impressed with the growth of the big city, and while he has no complaint to make of Europe, he would just as soon live in the old town. Clarence Tisdale and Jimmie Lightfoot knowing that the boys would feel strange after-being away for such a long time, took them in tow and showed them the many improvements made during the thirteen years they were hitting it up in Europe. "Dark Laughter" (From Sunday's N. Y. World.) Heading the cast of an unidentified new comedy called "A Chocolate Sailor" (with no bow to Oscar Strause) is the name of an actor who seems not at all depressed by his role. He was a confrera of Garland Anderson, the Negro bellboy who wrote "Appearances," and he played the leading comedy role in that vailant and ill-fated venture. The first nighters who have forgotten what the play was about can base their memories on the startled burst of excitement of figure first shuffled out on the stage and on the vigor and sincerity that turned - crudely written scene into a masterpiece of racial comedy. The character of "The Chocolate Sailor" is undetermined and there will arise the horrid recollection of Charles Gilpin's recent unhappy marriage, any luck, however, the comedy may give an adequate role to a more than adequate actor—and Doe Green can be relied upon to do the Expert Instructions in Piano Playing Charges reasonable Engagements accepted Recitals, Musicians or Ac- companied BESSIE B.

B. P. O., Elks of the World, are making elaborate plans for their 23d annual Lincoln-Douglass reception this year. For the past two years the celebration has been in the form of a reception and athletic meet held at the armory. This year the athletic form has been dropped and just the joint celebration will be held in which the memory of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass will be honored In keeping with the manner and style which has always distinguished Brooklyn Lodge, the committee in charge of this year's celebration have secured the finest hall in Brooklyn for the affair, Miller's Casino, located at Haveneyer and Grand streets, and the Brooklyn Lodge affair will mark the first time that the public will see this hall, admittedly not only the finest in Brooklyn, but one of the largest and prettiest halls in Greater New York. In fact, the place comprises two halls, and both will be in operation on the night of Feb. 12, when the popular Brooklyn Elke hold forth there. Inside the casino, the last word has been said in comfort and refinement for those who come there for receptions. Plush chairs, rest rooms for ladies and gentlemen, soft lights, gold decorations, and white marble statues, will be seen that the visitors will see and enjoy on their first visit to Miller's Casino on Lincoln's Birthday Night. In addition to the brilliant display of Elkdom and the meeting of old friends that night, the popular orchestra of Brooklyn Lodge Band, together with an orchestra of picked musicians under Myron Smith, will furnish continuous music. Elkdom in Brooklyn is awaiting with interest this gala affair. Chairman of the reception, J. Melvin Coleman, one of the youngest, yet most energetic members of Brooklyn Lodge, is preparing for one of the largest assemblages ever held by the order in Brooklyn. Assisting Chairman Coleman are: Moses Johnson, vice-president; flowear McDaniels, financial secretary; Wyman McKenzie, floor secretary; Wm. H. Banks, floor manager; Baker Fowles, assistant floor manager; P. D. Early, treasurer, and several other active and young members of the lodge. Twenty-six Consecutive Victories for Renaissance on Home Court Sunday Twenty-six Consecutive Victories for Renaissance on Home Court Sunday After Out-of-Town Games They Will Be Primed for the Big Contest Against the Famous Kingstons at the Local Casino the Coming Sunday Night The problem which seems to confront the white basketball teams this season is in finding a combination strong enough to defeat the Renaissance Five on their own home court at the Renaissance Casino. Even such a strong-team as the Original Celtics tried it and failed. Last Sunday night the Newark Professionals came to Harlem firmly convinced they stood a chance of doing that which every white team has failed to do ever since the season started, but they didn't have a chance. SIX Truth to tell, it was more like a workout for the Douglas men led by their wily court captain the "Silent Kid" Slocum. To our way of thinking, the score could have been much larger, but the boys artificially took a night off and let the mosquitoes down easy. Renaissance policy this year has been to take in chances, and when they shot to the fore in the first half they hold the lead and gave the visitors a drubbing by the score of 22-8. And this in spite of missing shot after shot which they tried out from every angle. A sadder but wiser bunch were these New Jersey players when they came out for the second half, but it availed them naught. True, they had more determination, but determination when Renaissance is also determined has spelt inglorious defeat for the best in this part of the world and it takes no wizard to guess what happened eventually to the Newark Professionals. The score at the conclusion was 42-31 with the Renaissance colors again hitting the top of the pole. This Sunday night holds out something of a thrill for the fans who will of a certainty be on hand. The Kingstons are coming and coming with the preparedness of the past three weeks for a game which they hope will change things completely around. The white players have trained hard for this contest and local followers of the Renaissance will see open being put to the test this weekend. Regardless of what plans are laid to upset the dope, Vernon Andrade and his Renaissance Orchestra are going right ahead with their special program of music for the dance lovers. With such an aggregation of music reading out the tuneful strata no wonder hundreds make it their business to be on hand both for the game and the dance at the casino every Sunday night. St. George's Church Basket Team to Oppose Y. M. D. Saturday evening, January 26th, will be an important date on the Y. M. C. A. schedule, for at this time the strong St. George's Church basketball team will oppose the Y. M. D. The George's team comes to Harlem with an enviable reputation as being one of the fastest combinations from lower New York. The team will be led by Pelegrino. The Saleem Crescents known all over the country for stellar athletes produced, will oppose the Alumni "3" while the Lightweights and "Y" Cubs will have St. Mark's Methodist Church basketball teams as their opponents.

Easy Terms Celtics and Renaissance at the Orange Armory To New Jersey on Saturday evening, January 30, will go the second of the history-making games, when the farfamid Celtics meet the boys of the Renaissance Five at the Orange Armory. On this spacious armory floor will be enacted another event in the history of basketball that will be watched by people all over the country. Few expected that the great Celtic team would fail a victim to the charge of the Renaissance players in the last game, in which these two leading aggregations of basketball players met in Harlem, and the talk of this contest is still going on. Hundreds of New Yorkers will make the trip to Orange, N. J., next Saturday night to see this game and, for the benefit of those entering the State made famous by the former Czar of Newark, Jimmie Fultz, we hasten to give a few directions that will help. In leaving New York via the Hudson Tube, take a bus or street car to Orange and get off at Center street, then walk one short block to the big armory. Buffaloes and Hell Fighters in Semi-Final Colored Guardsmen Make Good Showing in National Guard Tourney The Armory Big Five of the 369th Infantry N. Y. N. G., having entered the semi-final of the National Guard Tournament by virtue of their victory over the 101st Cavalry of Brooklyn, will have as their opponents in their next game, which will be held at their Armory, 143rd street and Lenox avenue, Saturday night, February 6th. the 105th Infantry of Buffalo, N. Y., upstate Army champions. In addition to these two teams, the 171st and 23rd Regiments of New York and Brooklyn, respectively, will battle in the semi-finals to decide who is to meet the winner of the 108th-369th Inf. series in the final round. A preliminary game between two girls' teams, one possibly Y. W. G. A., will be staged on the 6th, dancing following the games. Thursday night, February 11th, the 369th team travels to West Point, where they meet the Cavalry Detachment Quintette, and on Wednesday, February 3rd, they play the Elmendorf Five at the Elmendorf Chapel, 121st street, near 3rd avenue. The 369th lineup consists of Anthony Hicks, Louis Garcia (Capt.) "Red" Gaynor, Leon James, Teddy Anderson, Norman Rucker, Far Curtis, manager, Sgt. Francis Marshall. Carlton Hard to Beat The Y. M. D. basketball team of the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. added another victory to their long list by defeating the fast team from Flatbush Y. M. C. A. Carlton proved too fast for the visitors from the very beginning. When the boys started it was "Too bad." Although a runaway game, it proved to be the most exciting of the season. The public has never seen such clever shifting, passing, and shooting as demonstrated by the Caglion boys on Saturday night. Oliver and McClammy, two very clever forwards, were the sensation of the evening, scoring 16 and 12 points respectively. Carlton—59. Flatbush—19. Grosvenor C. Nawnau Lane L.F. Brooks Oliver R.F.

Some good basketball team, so Posey, in the St. Christopher Club of St. Posey some of the players of the latter of burgh players under assumed name. Instead of being satisfied to do Posey has always depended upon others to make up his Smoketown. This season we held out an opposing players here to meet the Renaissan and he has been busy ducking the burgh "Courier," the only object to once in a while take a slam at this Posey in the line-up, would have Renaissance as McTigue had in his any means has been Posey's motto, winning, don't play.

We are patiently waiting for B men women he will come meet their obligations to be place the world knows what we mean, among whom they should be places and two gases. But we see the hum bimbos is said to be quite a guy and hang-out is known as the "Gold" willing to meet the demands of the singing the blues in trying to get a work." Wotta work!. Hey, hey! Here's something else that makes Greenwich Village their interest to those who fawn upon which we are going to have copyright hang who cop it for their own. You talk about yourself And other men of you But listen to this ha And let me have you I've heard about the Nick Carter and that we have one in it Is really of the best When night has cast And everything sees He comes and tears se And give us all a CHQ Sassiety, Sassiety, in Sassiety, Sassiety, me You need no blue eyes To get in there Just be the famous In some other for Sassiety, sassiety, who Sassiety, sassiety, but But Bounin is the Who's bound to He though you he He'll batter down Of long drawn out. The above song we respectfully dam News, whose leading editorial sports department. It is also character discovered by Messrs. All years ago, named "Soft Shoe Avilator's nemesis, who was the insentacles we would not like to fall. At the meeting of the colored baseball magnates in Philadelphia our old friend, "Cum" Posey of Pittsburgh, who leads the Homestead Grays during the warm months, tries to crash in, but the moguls barred him, and he continued as an outlaw. This role is nothing new for the great Cumberland. They say that he spends half of his time coping or trying to cop players from other teams to help strengthen the Grays. Well, that same tendency gave Posey his world-bearing basketball team. Posey has been a manace to go ever since the day the bug of being a big promoter entered his bean. Had he been willing to remain in the ranks and appear in his own sphere as a good basketball and baseball player, when time came for Posey to leave the scene of his activities it would be with honor. But he isn't made up that way. Some years ago Pittsburgh had to have a good basketball team, so Posey, regardless of the amateur status of the St. Christopher Club of St. Philips' Parish at that time, induced some of the players of the last organization to appear with his Pittsburgh players under assumed names. Instead of being satisfied to develop his own players in Pittsburgh, Posey has always depended upon athletes brought to perfection by others to make up his Smoketown outfit, be it baseball or basketball. This season we held out an opportunity for him to bring his Loenolds players here to meet the Renaissance, but Posey is wily, if nothing else, and he has been busy ducking the issue. He runs a column in the Pittsburgh Courier, the only object of which is to boost the Grays and make up his Smoketown outfit. The Loenolds outfit, with Posey in the line-up, would have as much chance winning from the Renaissance as McTigue had in his fight with Tiger Flowers. Win by any means has been Posey's motto, and if there isn't the least chance of winning, don't play. He'll tell you this himself—CONFIDENTIALLY. There are many readers who no doubt wonder why we fail to say anything ament the Wills-Dempsey fight. Waste of space, friends; waste of space. Not until we see the preparations for the fight a week before the combat will we believe Dempsey is going to give Wills the chance to fight for the title. The fighter shows that he has a much desire to Wills as we have. They thought they had George Godfrey grooved to put a spoke in Wills' claim and when George made a bungle of it they fell back on Gene Tunney. If the New York State Athletic Commission and Tex Rickard stick to their guns there will be no right between Dempsey and Wills. The colored milt pushers have not been faring so well around these diggings here of mid. Down at Madison Square Garden we have been losing REGULARLY, while at the Commonwealth Sport Club we have not been going so good. It is the plan of the McMahons to introduce some new blood within the next few weeks, in the meantime allowing us to again gaze on that bust with the shape of an old apple tree. The real seat of the trouble is in the fact that our fighters do not get a chance to show often enough to keep in shape. There's poor Jack McVey. Called in at the last minute, he met a good toe, but was entirely out of condition. We wonder that he will give him chance to meet the same boy at the Commonwealth after he has had an opportunity to put in a few licks of training? I said WE WONDER! One of the local newspapers has been devoting a great deal of space to the little song writer who is supposed to have made oodles of dollars but who not pay his bills. That's nothing, friends. Some men are just born that way. Any time you find a person who will stage an affair hoping on the turning out of the public to pay his bills, you can set that person down as an adventurer. A good sport takes his losses along with his successes, but these fellows are all bum sports. They belong in the class with the fellow who will go to a printer, get a number of handbills, for which he pays in advance, and then come around to the newspaper office-seeking a free mention of the affair he plans. These fellows pay off the musicians and hall owners, and give the newspapers a merry run around for money due for the advertising space they have used. "Never let the same bee sting you twice" is good advice, but we took a chance on one of those same song writers—the one the judge sent to fail for stealing other people's songs—and felt the sting of the bee. We are patiently waiting for him to appear and try his sting again. Men or women who will contract for advertising space and then fail to meet their obligations can be placed in only one category. Being as the world knows what we mean, we do not see the necessity of telling among them they should be placed. Jesse James had to have a horse and two gates, we see the humor of the man who could be told to be in the middle of the ladies. The way that hang-out is known as the "Gold Diggers" Paradise," but while he is willing to meet the demands of the ladies, he will spend half a day singing the blues in trying to get out of paying his just debts. Wotta wort! Wotta wort! Hey, hey! Here's something else to think about. Our intellectuals that make Greenwich Village their hangout when writing about Harlem in verse and other things pass up a great deal that should carry more interest to those who fawn upon them. We have the latest little ditty which we are going to have copyrighted, even though we don't give a hang who cons it for their own. Here goes: The above song we respectfully dedicate to the editor of the Amsterdam News, whose leading editorial in last week's paper created such a furore scores of Harlemites relayed congratulations to him via the sporting department. It is also well to note right here that the famous character discovered by Messrs. Alex. Rogers and Leigh Whipper some years ago, known as "Soft Shoe Sam," has been outdone by the great aviator's nemesis, who was the inspiration of the lines and into whose tentacles we would not like to fall. Garden on Monday and Tuesday evenings, Feb. 1 and 2. Pittsburgh, Boston and Philadelphia will send on their best boxers to meet the champions from New York.

Brooklynites Are Ready for Invasion Planned by Lewis Five of New Jersey Mosquitoes Coming to Labor Lyceum Jan. 28 to Beard Superiors on Their Own Court The question that is uppermost in the minds of the Brooklyn floor game enthusiast is who will be returned the victor when the Jersey champions clash with the Lightning "5 at Labor Lyceum. Of course, if you were to approach one of these plous Democons of the Borough of Churchgoers he will unhesitantly toll: You: It's all Superior, for they are all het up over there since the recent victory of the Lightning 5 over the Vandals in the Jersey resort, and undoubtedly the team is. setting a strenuous pace since their setback by St. Christopher. This defeat has probably done more to spur the Brooklyn tossers than any incident this year and it will take an exceptional display of basketball to stop 'em. However, looking over the Jersey talent we find "Stretch" Gregory, the lanky youngster that has placed De Witt Clinton on the Scholastic Basketball map, and probably the best center seen around these parts in many, many a day. This lad has outplayed every center sent against him and will undoubtedly cause Thompson and Niles considerable wormiture. Also there is Richard Seay and the aggressive Carter, who form the main cogs in the Lewis defense and will attempt the formidable task of stopping Stevens and Herndm, the Superior Flashes. The "Soups" have developed some new offensive plays that are a revelation of speed and co-operation, calling for the uncanny display of the game which seems to be natural to these youngsters and which kept the Atlantic City fans in a furore of applause. They are already demanding another game there and Mgr. Caution is arranging to match the "Lightning 5" with his Buccaneers, formerly the Atlantic City "Y" team. The large crowd that attends these games at the Lycum will certainly witness an exciting contest and should enjoy the return engagement of Prof. Vernon Andrade and his Renaissance Dance Orchestra. "Y" Girls Beat Osceolas The Y. W. C. A. basketball team scored an impressive victory over the Osceola girls of New Rochelle last Friday night at the 137th street gymnasium in a 40-4 game.

This club has been giving colored fighters a chance right along and our good ring men would do well to get in touch with the management. Brooklyn Cuban Giants to Go South in Spring Many Players Discovered by President Johnson Copped by Posey for Homestead Grays Word from Dumont, N. J., brings us the information that the Brooklyn Cuban Giants, the team organized in 1923, will make another trip South this spring. Last season this same club had a remarkable record of ninety games won with only twenty-six lost—a record of which they can very well feel proud. John B. Johnson, President and Manager, says he hopes he will receive better treatment from the other baseball clubs the coming season than he has in the past two years. For two years this club has gone South, picking up and developing young players into stars, only to have them taken by other clubs in the North without any recompense being offered for the trouble and expense to which the leader of the Brooklyn players has been put. Johnson charges that Cumberland Posey, who tried to crash in at the meeting in Philadelphia of organized baseball among colored people, induced AJ Britton, Greer and Creek to quit and join the Homestead Grays. Further, that when the club arrived at Buffalo there was a telegram there from Pittsburgh for Outfielder Woods and Second Baseman Smith to quit and return to Posey's team. In 1924 the Brooklynites lost an 11-9 game to the Toronto Club of the International League and also a 10-7 game to the Williamsport Club, which won the championship of the New York-Pennsylvania League that year. Last year, with Dudley pitching, they won an exhibition game 1-0 from the Baltimore Black Sox. This year Dudley goes to the Lincoln Giants and Dewey Rivers, known as the "Black Babe Ruth," goes to the Hilldale Club. President Johnson would like to arrange a number of games for the month of April with clubs at Augusta and Atlanta, Ga., Montgomery and Birmingham, Ala., Chattanooga, Nashville and Knoxville, Tenn. Managers desirous of booking games with this outfit can get in touch with E. B. Lamer, Booking Agent at Denton, N. J. Howard's 'Varsity Team Coming to Battle Alphas February 23rd Has Been Set as the Date When the Boys Clash at Renaissance Casino The Benefit Scholarship Fund for Howard University should be a large one after February 23, for the interest in the game which will see the varsity five of the university here doing battle to the Alpha Phi Alpha has already aroused a great deal of interest. While it is true that professional basketball has held the spotlight here all season, few will forget the setting which surrounded the Alphas on the last occasion, when they drew that splendid crowd to the Renaissance Casino. Those responsible for the staging of the game on the 23rd are leaving no stone unturned in trying to make the affair one that will easily take its place among the best of its kind among the younger social set in Greater New York. Fletcher Henderson and his Original Rainbow Orchestra will furnish the music, and this alone is a guarantee of the big time in store for everybody.

Renna, who had been indicted for first degree murder, changed his plea of not guilty to that charge to one of guilty to manslaughter in the first degree. The trial had been going on before County Judge Adel for three days. A jury had been completed Wednesday after the examination of more than sixty talesmen, a majority of whom had pleaded that they had conscientious scruples concerning the death penalty. One witness had been placed on the bench and by Assistant District Attorney Caly when Attorney Sydney Osenthal, representing Renna, announced that after a conference with his client he wanted to change his position. He asked Judge Mel, who accepted the plea and remanded him to the Queens Jail to await sentence on January 27. Miller, whom Renna was accused of shooting, met his death while standing on the street corner talking with two friends located in a taxicab. Renna and Gina Osenthal, his son, were street. Flushing, had been in an argument when Miller drove up in a taxicab and got out. Just a minute before friends had separated the two Italian who had been quarrelling and started to lead them away in opposite directions. Renna turned suddenly and fired two shots at Parcelell. Miller who was standing between the two men fell with a bullet in his heart. Klan Admitted to Church; Pastor Quits Because trustees of the First Baptist Church, a white congregation of Greenport, L. L. allowed the Ku Klux Klan to meet in the church, the Rev. H. Lawson Nichols, pastor, has resigned. The minister rebuked members who attended the meeting the Ku Klux was necessary to overcome corrupt political conditions, wrong moral and solitary living, in tendering his resignation he said: "Our Jewish, African and Catholic fellow citizens ought not to be subject to the atmosphere generated by this spirit in our or in any other community." It does not represent of race superiority as a curse in disguise. It does not belong to the kingdom that Jesus Christ set up in the hearts of His fellows. "May I remind you that Jesus Christ, our Lord, was a Jew, not by accident, but by design. The only one permitted to share His burden of the cross was an African, not a Jew, and we have only one responsibility, according to the New Testament--to love them."

Growth of Jamaica Recalls Barring of Colored Children From the Schools Looking Back to the Days on Streets Now Occupied by Colored With Other Evidence of Remarkable Growth in This Suburban Center Many people who walk through Jamaica and look around at the tall edifices do not think or realize that on the same lots there were once stores of lesser size and aged appearance. Many of these buildings that now house big business interests were once the scene of small stores established there for over a quarter century. Most of these stores were owned by men who were born in Jamaica in this section since the incorporation of the Village of Jamaica. One Old-Timer on Jamaka Ave. One of the oldest buildings now standing on Jamaka avenue and still being used for business pur- poses is located on the corner of Union Hall street and Jamaka ave and still being used for a few hundred years ago by Henry Henderson, a prominent man in his time and Jack-sell-trades. He was a mason as well as a carpenter and with the assistance of a few helpers built this three-story building. Not being satisfied to follow one or two of his trades, he opened a bay, grain and feed store on the ground, built a shop and with other incomes he was able to retire and sold the building. Alvin B. Dunham, whose family is well spread throughout the borough now, was the man who bought the building from Mr. Henderson, and he, too, was in the feed business. Mr. Dunham likewise did a thriving business in the town, selling to his store to buy their farm stock supplies. It was not long after that the store was sold again, this time T. F. Archer, himself a farmer and interested in the feed business. T. F. Archer, Jr., who used to play around the store of his father and who is now a prominent auctioneer, with offices in Jamaica, told a friend in the business long before he noticed that business in the feed line was exceptionally good in Jamaica. His business grew in much the same manner as did the former owners business. Mr. Archer was beginning to become interested in the auctioneer line and so he sold the old store and established himself in Brooklyn and a neighborhood has continued throughout the family up to the present date. When the building was sold for the third time, it was slightly remodeled for use as an office building, being used as such by the Bank of Jamaica, which bank later merged with the Bank of Long Island, which at present is incorporated with the Bank of Manhattan Company. The present bank stands directly across the street from the building, and the bank did not stay long in the building, and once more the edifice changed hands, this time to become an undertaking parlor on the ground floor and office suites on the upper floor. Mr. Everitt, who owned the undertaking shop, stayed there for quite a time, until the whole building was sold by the Bank of Jamaica to the Elmer Brewing Company, of Brooklyn. The brewing company maintained a saloon on the corner and evidently the business in liquor was good, so he proceeded to build a patio on the back of the original building. Part of this addition was rented by Mr. Everitt, and his undertaking parrons continued at that location until about two years ago. The saloon sold its interest in the ground floor but retained the remainder of the building. The bottom floor was rented to a man named John Hise, who established the Elmer Brewing Company. Elmer's business evidently didn't prosper, as he left soon after startling his business. The Elmer Brewing Company, who still owned the store, had not yet decided to sell the building and so let out the above three doors from being much thicker. The bottom floor was unoccupied until the National Drug Company rented it. The drug store was there for a number of years until financial reverses forced them to vacate the Jamaica branch. The National Drug Store then followed by another drug store run by a Brooklyn man, who didn't stay long, it was then rented to the Liggett. M. break the world's record by preach.

In Recalls Barring From the Schools on Streets Now Occupied Evidence of Remarkable Suburban Center Drug Company, who are the present incumbents. During all these transactions the building was constantly being remodeled until it was changed from a square cornered building to the shape at present. The building now is cut away on the corner so that the entrance fronts on the intersection of the streets and the part above the entrance puts out like a bay window. Old M. E. Church a Store. On the next corner and included in the same row of buildings is a building still older, although the same amount of history is not attached to it. This building was originally built as the Methodist Church. This is the building and hardly remodeled except for the bottom floor and a few offices in the upper story. At present there is a cotton goods store on the ground floor and offices on the two upper floors. The church was in this building until the new Methodist Church was built in 1870. The Methodist Church was located in the same area for number of years after it was built and the old church made into a store. But the progress of buildingOrigified the site on which the new church was built and it consequently was torn down to make room for a row of stores and garage. The beautiful new Methodist Church was then built on Clinton avenue. This building and the Presbyterian Church which was moved from a site on Jamaica avenue near Clinton avenue. There are possibly one out of fifty of Jamaica's old landmarks still standing that have not been remodeled or modernized; one of these is the building which is now called Fraternity Hall. This quiet old edifice is located on Herriman avenue just north of Jamaica avenue. It sets well back from the street and is tended on all sides. Old School Building. In the times when no colored children were allowed to attend schools in which there were white children and when people who lived outside of the Village of Jamaica and who wished to send their children to a school had to pay for the education of the youngster, this old building was the only school for white children within an area of about five square miles. It was later sold by the Village of Jamaica to the I. O. O. F., who used it as a meeting hall throughout the years until the present building was built at Globe avenue and North Washington street. It is opened by organizations for meetings. In the ground floor of this building is the Jamaica Book Hidery, which has been long established in the building. On North Washington street there are on both sides of the street lines of stores that have not been remodeled and which can, in most cases, boast of over sixty years of service. The same holds true for a certain building on the Long Island Railroad station. These old buildings now being used as a Children's Court and being rented out for offices once served the youth of Jamaica as an educational center. People who lived in the parts of Greater Jamaica now known as Jamaica are held in other adjoining sections had, as mentioned, to pay for the education of their children as the school was located in the town of Jamaica. Some of these people would rather pay a bit more and send their children to a private school and, according to records, an enterprising man named a university there and was known as the Jamaica Academy. Hiding behind many tall structures of the modern business world, in Jamaica, there are many mute landmarks symbolic of the city. The Great New York was known as the Village of Jamaica.

Y., to take into custody Thomas Warren, wanted by Richmond Hill police for alleged participation in a robbery. At 11 p.m. Oct. 29, 1924, the drug store of Julius Siegel, at 110-01 Jerome avenue, Richmond Hill, was entered by three bandits armed with guns. They held up Siegel and his assistant and made off with $175 from the cash register. Richmond Hill detectives put several men on the case. The robbers, however, fled and nothing was heard of them for more than a year. In 1929 ago Warren was arrested in Middletown on charges of misconduct there. New York police received a description of the man and he was identified as one of the men believed to have participated in the robbery in Richmond Hill. WESTBURY, L. I. Next Sunday morning Rev. L. G.

Civil Rights Case Decision Reversed Conrad Norman, School Teacher, Charged Bath House Discriminated Against Him A trial has been ordered by judges Siner, Levy and Churchill in the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court on the charge of discrimination made by Conrad Norman, school teacher, 250 Seventh Avenue, against the City Island Bath. Norman made the appeal for a new trial following the decision in favor of the bath house by insider Infer in the Seventh Discour Carrising the bath house owners heminated against him because it is colored, Conrad sued for $500 under the Civil Practice Act. Norman asserted he tried to purchase a trick to go swimming on July 12, 1921, and was refused admission. Norman had been accompanied by his school, where he is a teacher. The students were known to the Monticello players who had taken part in the theatrical shows of the school. At the hearing Anthony Pasanen, 250 Belmont avenue, one of his pupils, testified he had enveloped to purchase the bathing tickets but had been refused admission because the group was accompanied by their colored teacher, Patrick Green, a white president of the City Beach Club, denied any discrimination, asserting the baths had been crowded and all the bath houses rented when the students and their teacher sought entry. One of the most important witnesses for the defense was Mrs. Martea Schafer, the ticket seller, at the time of the trial she was in Florida and was not brought here. The court allowed a deposition she gave in Miami to be entered as evidence. Pasadena declared the cashier and told him that they would admit white persons but her orders were not to sell tickets to colored persons. In reversing the decision of Justice Elder the Appelate Court allowed Norman costas $12,000 in the headquarters of City College and Columbia University. He coaches at P. S. $3 in E. 109th street. Dr. T. J. Jones Pays Visit to Wilberforce WILBERFORCE, O., Jan. 25.—Among the recent happenings at Wilberforce that have far reaching possibilities for the institution in the future was the recent visit of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Chairman on the Commission of Education of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, under whose direction he made a recent trip to Africa and a study of the educational problems of the African. The visit of Dr. Jones to the university in response to the repeated appeals of President Jones is full of promise for the institution. Dr. Jones will well be remembered as the man under the Phelps-Stokes Fund some eleven or twelve years ago who made a survey of Negro Schools and who described a degree of charisma under the guidance of the U. S. Commissioner of Education in the form of a bulletin in which publication he gave his famous classification of Negro school in groups A, B, C and D. Students and faculty of the institution were glad to have this distinguished educator come back to them after 12 years and again look into the affairs of the institution and note its remarkable growth and progress educationally in these 12 years. Dr. Jones, himself, was forcibly impressed with the importance of the trust. The spirit and cooperation and good will between all the departments of the institution, the general tone of the educational work, the reorganization of the work and the splendid manner in which it was handled—all came in for comment. The learning was spent visiting the class rooms, offices, buildings and grounds. Dinner was served at the home of Sput, I. C. Bundy, who is a lengthy discussion of Willbery present and future were gone into. Dr. Jones spoke to the faculty and student body at the chapel exercise. THOMAS TO RESIGN AS ASST. U. S. ATTORNEY James C.

"The Weary Blues" "The Weary Blues" By LANGSTON HUGHES (A REVIEW BY C I COULD not help but feel like a canvas and each p the riot of colors that blen America. These verses mark field, something unattempted with syncopated rhythm. The in true spirit, lilting with its (A REVIEW BY CORINNE MEAUX) COULD not help but feel that the "Weary Blues" was like a canvas and each poem a brilliant splotch among the riot of colors that blend themselves into Negro life in America. These verses mark a new stride in the poetical field, something unattempted before, jazzy poetry throbbing with syncopated rhythm. They mirror Harlem's night life in true spirit, lifting with its gaiety. "Negro Dancers," "To a Midnight Nan at Leroy's" and "Blues Fantasy" sing themselves fascinatingly. Rehmed, sensitive natures may feel that this special group are slightly offensive, too raggy and lacking in artistic value, but they are typical. One would hardly expect an artist to give us meadows and glowing sunset as a portrayal of Harlem. Even though of merit, there is no doubt that the poems in this section are not as fine and as expressive of the writer's own feelings as those found elsewhere. However, we are not confined to Harlem and its roof jaunts, nor Lenox avenue with its cabarets. Neither does he give poems only or Negro life — for art knows no color line. The stirring emotion must have an outlet and beauty that thrills will find expression. "Dream Variations" is like a piece of music starting quickly and joyfully only to die softly, slowly and sweetly. The loss of a friend he expresses simply, yet exquisitely. Then with the glid free abandon of the adventurer he charms with tales of the sen, the beauty of the Caribbean sunset and the wild joy of a sailor's life. These are the songs in simple lyric verse which he sings in "Water Front Streets." He is the loveliest of Marianne women, of a baggar lad who plays a wild free tune, "As If Fate had not bled him with her knife." The more serious poems "Cross," "The South," "The Jester," "As I Grow Older," while they stir with bitterness are not cruel. Like a ripple in a stream they seem to hide a strong undercurrent—an undercurrent of deep sorrow and mournful longing that tugs at the heart strings. It is the voice of of impressed feeling; the voice of the open road, with sings in "Our Land." "Mother to Son" also stirs deeply—but to enumerate these places would lessen the appreciation of the book. Carl Van Vechen's introduction Dr. Emmett J. Scott Congress of RICHMOND, Virginia, J.

Continuing, he said: "First of all, permit me to state a fundamental fact. This country is as much our own as it is that of any other American. This is the land of our birth and of our fathers. We came to this continent. We came to the founding of this great nation. We are no more aliens than the deendants of those who came on the Mayflower, or of those who landed at Jamestown. We have had a part in all the great wars of this country from the fall of Crispus Attacks in the Boston Massacre to the glorious honors won on the battlefields of France during the World War.

The league's surveys have shown that the cause of such poor health conditions being prevalent in Cincinnati is due to the fact that Negroes here live in the poorest houses and in the most unsanitary sections of the city. The main points contained in the last report submitted by the league are: "There are 30,000 Negro families living in 6,500 tenements in Cincinnati." "The worst housing conditions exist among Negroes." "The Better Housing League has combined with the Associated Charities to improve living conditions in Negro quarters." "A complete housing survey of Cincinnati has been made to locate the worst sections of the city." "Bootlegging, gambling, race prejudice, ignorance and lack of legitimate recreation are the stumbling blocks to progress in these sections." Our work is merely palliative and will solve the problem.

Reviewing the contribution of the American Negro, Doctor Scott called attention to the success of colored men and women in science, literature, and music, and mentioned particularly those men of the African-American race who contributed in the fields of research science. He also referred to those who have won great success in the worlds of music and poetry, mentioning the group of young colored men and women who have recently won recognition as poets of distinction. He made a passionate appeal for men to enter the women of his race to enter those cultural fields in which he said, "the greatest victories of the race are yet to be won."

Alexander Addresses Interracial Meeting in Missouri (Preston News Service) ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 21.—Closer understanding and sympathy between Negroes and whites is essential to a solution of the race problem and the economic and civil questions that grow out of it, in the opinion of Dr. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, Ga., executive secretary of the Interracial Commission of the Federal Council of Churches, who spoke at the opening of the Missouri State Conference on Racie Relations Tuesday morning at the Public Library Auditorium. ninety-seven representatives, white and Negro, of religious, educational, church and social organizations throughout the state attended the conference. The white man and the Negro, Dr. Alexander declared, must be brought together by an indirect process, the principal features of which is a proper representation of the life, characteristics and aims of both races. This representation, he said, must come from the school experience, he said, is a vital factor in the struggle of the white man and the Negro to work out their racial attitudes toward each other. The enlargement of the race relations society through the addition of both white and Negro Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. representatives and women's boards from various churches, was decided upon at the afternoon session. Mrs. W. C. Winsborough of St. Louis was elected chairman of the Missouri organization for the coming Reports on discussion of conditions of the Negro, discussion of methods for the negroment of that condition and plans for aiding the white man and the Negro to a closer understanding of each other made up the principal business of the conference. Lone Tenant May Bring Action Against Landlord Only one tenant is necessary to bring criminal action against a landlord for not supplying a client heat. This was known by Chief Magistrate McAdoo in the following letter of instruction to city magistrates and clerks: "I have advised the magistrates and the clerks that there is no rule of law that requires more than one witness to make a complaint as to an infraction of any one of the statutes; also that we magistrates should not attempt to arbitrate or impose a sentence; but should swear the witness and take the testimony in regular order on both sides." Citizens' & Southern Bank and Trust Company Opens for Business First Colored Trust Company in the North— Major R. R. Wright, Sr., Elected President (Preston News Service) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 25.—Last Wednesday morning at nine o'clock the stockholders of the Citizens' & Southern Bank and Trust Company met at the bank building at 19th and South streets for the purpose of starting the operation of a new trust company. More than five hundred stockholders were present in person or by proxy. The secretary reported that the entire capital stock of $156,250 had been collected and paid in, and that the Board of Directors had agreed to take over the business of the Citizens' and Southern Banking Company, including some five thousand depositors and business accumulations of five years. Congratulatory remarks were made by Bishop W. H. Heard of the African Methodist Church, William Newman, Thomas M. Thomas of Chester, and R. H. Shirley. This is the first colored trust company organized in the state of Pennsylvania. In fact in the entire North. Major Wright, the president, in an address said: "We congratulate ourselves that we have started this trust company. While many of our stockholders are native Pennsylvanians, most of them are like myself residents of the South, and some like Bishop Heard and myself were born in slavery. We are building this institution here for future generations, and I want to assure you that as long as I am its president it will be conducted on the most conservative basis. We are not desirous of making any great pile of money in a hurry. We want to build a substantial bank like the Bank of North America & Trust Company, the Philadelphia National Bank, the Girard Trust Company, the Southwark National Bank, and the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society which have been hundred years and more in building a firm foundation. These are our examples. We want no mushroom growth. We believe that we can be of a big service to our people. We shall have a Savings Department, a Commercial Department, Trust Department, and Title Insurance Department, and are prepared to render any financial service to the people." At the election the following were elected Board of Directors: R. R. Wright, Sr. E. W. Thornton, Frank Hopkins, W. Washington Rhodes, W. Samson Brooks, Edwin R. Maynard, William Newman, J. H.

Said Major Wright: "Philadelphia and vicinity has more than 200,000 colored people. They have an earning capacity of over $1,000,000 a week, and a saving capacity of $100,000 a week or $5,200,000 a year. It is therefore no idle dream when we say we expect to get $1,000,000 of the savings of the people." At Wright Jr. was elected secretary of treasurer, J. Albert Johnson first vice-president, and Frank Hopkins, second vice-president. BISHOP W. S. BROOKS SAILS FOR 'AMERICA **PHILADELPHIA, Pa.

The Annual Stockholders' Meeting of the Progressive Commercial Association of America, Inc., will be held Thursday evening, January 26, 1926 at 8:30 a.m. in the Lehman Building of the First Church, corner of 128th street and Soventh avenue.—(Advt.) Jan.20:21 Sixty Years After Taylor in Africa Sixty Years After Taylor in Africa The Rev. Herbert C. Withey, who went to Africa at the age of eleven with his parents — the Rev. and Mrs. Amos E. Withey, of Lynn, Mass., and Alhambra, California, early missionary in Africa under Bishop William Taylor, and now retired — writes from Capetown of the worldwide influence of that Methodist missionary leader still to be found in Australia and in Africa. He says: DesVerney Campaigning for B. of S. C. P. in South W. H. DesVerney, Assistant General Organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, is now on an extensive organization campaign tour through Charleston, S. C, Savannah, Ga., Jacksonville, Fla., New Orleans, La., Birmingham and Montgomery, Ala., Atlanta, Ga., and Richmond, Va. He reports a well-nigh unanimous in "Among many interesting things which Bishop and Mrs. Frederick Fisher told us when passing through Capetown en route to India was the way in which they had been impressed in Australia by evidences of William Taylor's long continued influence there, projected now through two generations, and of his influence in Tasmania. Many of the Wesleyan ministers in Australia at one time were direct fruits of his labors. One does not know just how it is now, but Bishop and Mrs. Fisher said that when they heard of some prominent layman who he given access to of which he knows the next sentence was very likely to be: He was a convert in the Taylor meetings. They became quite accustomed to seeing in the Wesleyan church vestries two pictures on the wall, one of John Wesley and the other of William Taylor. "That same week I was conversing with Rev. Walter Searle of the South Africa General Mission in Tembu-land, Kaffraria, Africa, the very region to which William Taylor lorne in 1886, after his two and half years he conducted a wonderful evangelistic campaign among the Kaffraria Mr. Searle says: 'U-Taylor, as they called him, is still remembered and talked about in that region, and that the fruit of his work abides. "There were real conversions in these meetings', said Mr. Searle, 'and the natives were under such conditions that he go on the grass by themselves and cry to God for mercy.' The German historian and critic of missions, Dr. Warnke, said at one time that 'Bishop Taylor is going about lighting straw fires that will soon die down.' Here is very recent testimony to show that some of the fires which God has been instrumental in lighting have been burning steadily for sixty years." Indeed, similar stories might be gathered from missionaries in South America, in India, in California. In all of these places William Taylor, though dead twenty years, is still remembered by many Christian families. League Interested in Trade Training Industrial Director Hill Visits Southern Schools in Interest of Better Trained Workers T. Arnold Hill, Director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, has just returned to New York following a months visit to two new trade training schools in the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, where he conferred with the school presidents and directors of trade departments concerning improvement in courses of studies to meet the new requirements of Negro workers sought by industry. Mr. Hill has issued the following statement: "It is the experience of the National Urban League and its branches in forty-two cities that whenever a competent workman has been obtained, employment can be found for those on twenty-one schools in the South. I found a ready response on the part of the educators to all the suggestions I made relative to the opportunities they now have to train their students for those new industrial openings. In the past, most of these schools have been training their workers for self-sustaining homes, and some have them to mend their farm implements and machinery; to build small rural houses and barns, and to meet the mechanical demands A CLASSIFIED AL Is the Key to Everybody's Pocketbook General Dyer to Review 369th Public Invited to Witness Drill—Other Infantry Notes terest on the part of the southern porters in the movement.

He says: Five Books Needed In Inhambane "There are a number of small, but valuable books, adapted to the needs of this people by experts, and now translated into the vernacular of our people by some of our own missionaries, which should be put into the hands of the natives." Dr. William Terrill, missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, writes from Inhambane, Africa, a small island in which he operation. "But the funds are lacking with which to print them. It is felt that $200 would print an edition of 2.000. If these were sold at actual cost we are sure that our people would buy them. In that way the money invested in such a scheme would come back into the fund and could again be used to print other necessary books. "If there was some one who would finance such a plan to the need of 2000, or five friends who would invest $200 each we could put on the market this year five vitally necessary books for our native peoples and an untold blessing would come to the Kingdom." "Our people are perishing for a lack of knowledge. How can we give them the knowledge that will save them from perishing? One way, and a very effective one, is by providing the knowledge through the printed page."

Beginning in February, the second semester, experimental classes in instrumental music will be conducted at the Cleveland School, Eighth and T streets, N. W. These classes will mark the beginning of a definite project to develop the orchestral work in the colored schools of the District of Columbia. The effort will be made to stimulate public interest in the needs and possibilities of this work. Demonstrations by the Graded and High School orchestras will be given in the local theatres and at Parent-Teacher Association meetings. The advent of the public school symphony orchestra throughout the country is everywhere conceded to be one of the outstanding accomplishments in public education during the last several years. Experience, however, has shown that success has been possible only where instruments, other than those ordinarily owned by pupils but fundamental to the complete orchestra, are provided by the schools. Classes in orchestral instruments are for pupils from grades 5-8 inclusive, and the junior high schools. They are for beginners and for those who have studied less than one year. The course is not designed for pupils who have studied under a private teacher within the last six months. Piano classes are for pupils from grades 4-8 inclusive and junior high schools. These classes are for those who have not studied less than a year, for beginners, and not for pupils who have studied under private instruction within six months. The following instruments will be taught: Violin, 'cello, trombone, piano, saxophone, flute and drum. Classes in other instruments will be formed as soon as the registration justifies the employment of instructors. 135th St. Y. M. C.

Spearman Present Pastor Has Succeeded in Healing Wounds Caused by Previous Dissension By RUTH DENNIS, Church Reporter After many years of storm and strife Bethel A. M. E. Church, located at 52-60 West 13 and street, seems to be coming into her own again under the able leadership of her new pastor, Dr. H. K. Spearman, who was appointed last May by Bishop W. H. Heard of Philadelphia. This church is one of the oldest and most historic of Negro churches in America. One hundred and seven years ago, in the Fall of 1819, Bishop Richard Allen, the first Negro bishop in America, sent William Lambert, a licentiate of the Philadelphia Conference, to New York City, with instructions to organize an A. M. E. Church. ARE YOU A PYTHIAN? ARE YOU A CALANTHE? WHY not secure yourself and family by becoming a member of the ORDER OF KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, EASTERN AND WESTERN HEMISPHERES All Lodges in the State are now dispensed to take in members for the small fee of Fire ($10.00) Dollars. All E. W. H. Lodges in New York $1.00 pay $4.00 per week. Grand Sick Fund $10.00 per week. Total $15.00. Death Benefits $100.00. Dues $1.00 per month—NO TAXES OR DEATH ASSESSMENTS BLOQUEMENTS: Age, 23 to 40 years of good merit character and W. R. DEAN, G. K. OF. P. W. J. STATE OF NEW YORK He gathered about twenty persons and passed before them the character of the A. M. E. Church as an independent body, aiming to be directly and solely under the leadership of William Lamberg and Rachel A. M. E. Church was organized in a schoolroom on Mott street. Row. Henry Harden was the first regularly appointed pastor after the organization. The church remained in Mott street seven years, and during the period of twenty-seven years there, became very strong. About this time the residential migration began to move to the upown districts and most of the people, being domestics, followed the families by whom they were employed in those days colored people and made up in public conventions and the church was recoded with great inconvenience. Boston of tels, they sold the Second street property and purchased Sullivan Street Church for $2,500. The movement of the population, after a decade, again benefited to purchase property on West Sullivan Street, a substantial and commodious structure of brownstone and brick, accommodating 1,500 persons. The congregation continued to worship in the 25th street church until May 18, 1913, when ground was broken on lots $2,600 West 132d street, under the pastorate of Dr. Armeni, who cornerstone was laid at 3 P. M. September 28, 1913, and the present structure was erected on said lots. During the year of 1920, Dr. W. W. Thornton was sent as pastor to Bethel Church, causing a serious phoebe among the members. After a long-drawn-out law suit Dr. Thornton was admitted. After the court decision hundreds of Bethel's methodist and established an independent Methodist church, shown as Calvary. After five years of struggle Bishop W. H. Heard sent the present pastor to take charge. The people rejoiced him with open arms. Dr. Spearman is an able man in every way. He is thoroughly prepared to teach. Such qualities surely should make for a successful pastorate, one of such a difficult charge as jealous. Everywhere Dr. Spearman hasasted he has left with the testimony that he brought light out of darkness—peace out of confusion—and African Methodism flourished. Since his appointment, last May, Dr. Spearman has taken in 636 members, thus increasing the membership to over 3,000. The pastor realizes that the edifice is too small for the present congregation. Many illustrious men have passed at Bethel, among them three older became bishop. They were F. Dickerson W. B. Berrick, and Ravardy C. Ransom. THE CHOIR. Prof. Allon, one of the youngest horizons of our group in the city, as proved that he is capable in every way, and the choir under his direction is pleasing all. THE RED CROSS. Mrs. Mary E. Hopkins, president of the Red Cross Auxiliary, organized it in 1824. There are now thirty members and at every service there is a corps working. A little is to be operated by this with the assistance of the Missionary Society. ISHERS' BOARDS. There are five ushers' boards—Junior Male Usher, Senior Male Usher, Junior Female, Senior Female, and the children. There are many auxiliaries actively connected with the church. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

AFRICAN METHODISTS START 2 NEW PAPERS PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. 25- Two new periodicals have been started on the A. M. E. Mission fields—the South African Christian Recorder, published at Capetown, South Africa, with Rev. H. M. Gow, editor, and the West Indies Christian Recorder, published in the 11 Dr. 11. K.

January, 1926, will go down in Pythian history in New York State Grand Lodge, this being the 37th anniversary of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, which was organized in Baltimore, Md., Jan. 22, 1889, and has continued successantly advancing through many hardships, overcoming obstacles cast in a journey towards the neighborhood with his many Lodges and auxiliaries. Disregarding the many attempts of others to place the E. W. H. Pythians in a false light, the order has progressed slowly, but surely, both numerically and financially. When the present Grand Chancellor, Sir W. R. Dean, of the K. P. of E. W. H. was elected at the Grand Lodge Session in Brooklyn, July, 1925, his first duty was to organize and put in operation the Grand Sick Benefit Fund, to construct a new building except special tax, into straight monthly dues; and to orignize a campaign for 1,000 new members throughout the state. With the coming in of the New Year, all of his plans have begun to function. The renewed interest of the members and the close cooperation of the Supreme 'Yeocor Sir W. W. W. W.

Despite this humble admonition and notwithstanding the "Spare - the - rod - and - spoil - the - child" memories of youth of the thirty years ago, Washington, D. C., is just recovering from a rebellion of the entire school body of 1,100 boys and girls of Armstrong Technical High School. They say it was a rebellion of "affection" because of the alleged great injustice done to their beloved principal. Be that as it may, however, it was also a rebellion against the peace and dignity of the public; the authorities of the school system, and the taxpayers, whose coin is absorbed by the exigencies of educational needs. The militant germs of youth-domination, so defensible Flisk University, and later at Howard, at last reached the beardless youths and tender lassies of one of Washington's most prominent high schools, and for a time its "teenful" youngsters defied the EYES EXAMINED BY Dr. D.

At times we wonder whether this new psychology of full freedom for youthful minds, lest some great product of mental art be stunted by too many "donts," is backed up with sufficient auxiliary influences to insure proper discretion and understanding in the minds of our blooming youth. The kindergarteners of the country are now teeming with the principles of unrestrained mental selection, and fond and loving parents are tonguetted and hand-shackled, lest "my boy's initiative might be harmful curbed. Let him learn to use for himself." All of this sounds fairly good; but if it is this new, modern psychological blessing (2) that is indirectly resulting in strikes such as Armstrong, Fisk and Howard have recently emerged, then it is time to try some new method, or to revert to the old. Strikes seldom do anyone much good. A strike is a milder form of a mob; and God knows that if there is anything in this old world that Negroes should be "gunshy" of it. it is the mob and the psychology of the mob; and when down on streets, and the organized wave of exhaust from thoughtless minds. Students and strikes are completely inharmonious; and if we would preserve the education of our boys and girls, we must take steps to free them and us from the strike menace. If the cause is the new type of youth menace, we must put some ballast upon it, least, like the pig in the parlor; it takes possession for itself and puts us adults out in the cold. The Inquisitive Southerner "WHICH do you prefer," he said, with a look of forced innocence, "to see your race eradicated by assimilation, or to see it safely set apart by itself, by reasonable means of segregation, to develop as a definite group in Americanization?" "Neither," we replied, "if your race seeks to make such definite reservations as to what American civilization and Christianization mean. There is too much assimilation now," we continued, handing him a census chart showing the number of increasing mulattoes of Dixieland. "But there's no ater-protection for a colored girl, who is barred from marriage with the opposite race by miscegenation laws." "Him," the inquisitor responded. "But don't you think if that were allowed they (the colored people) would want to step clear across the line and demand absolute equality." They want social equality now; "we answered, "but the interpretation of social equality of the whites and the blacks is quite different. You think that riding in the same railroad coach, stopping at the same hotel, eating in the same restaurant or dinner, and attending the same meal, C. A. constitutive social equality, is worth think that, however. We regard that relationship as the means to an end. The railway coach we regard as the instrumentality to take one where he wants to go; that comforts at a hotel are merely quas-necessities; that eating merely appeases hunger; and that Christian associations might disseminate Christian brotherhood without any regard to whom we may meet in any of these relationships." "But don't you realize that you are an exception?" the southern person said. "Well, there are many exceptions," we quietly responded.

"But, he sputtered, "don't you see that where we admit, for instance, so colored people to one of our theatres, and part of them are exceptions and part of them are bad folks—don't you see that the bad fellows soon spoil the whole concession for the good ones?" "But," we answered warmly, "with Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, and the rest of your country only alloting one twentieth as much for Negro education as they do for whites, how can those bad folks ever hope to be taught to reach your standards?" "But, you see with you—you're a different type, and—" "Perhaps so," we interrupted. "By good fortune, we were born and reared in territory free from the things under discussion. If it hadn't been so, your narrow vision would have been ours, and we, like thousands of brothers, would have needed the urge of the truth and that our instinctive friend was turning doorward. "Good day," he snapped, and walked away. Female Industrial Competition BELIEVE it or not, from 1910 to 1920, upon no less authoritative figures than those of the U. S. Bureau of the Census, female industrial competition has become so keen that the colored woman is bearing the brunt of an elimination trend which, if it continues, spells industrial disaster to the survivors of the most intense industrial decade that the United States has ever witnessed. In 1910, of the total number of 34,552,712 females ten years of age and over in the United States, of whom 8,075,772, or 23.4 per cent, were engaged in gainful occupations, 3,680,536 of the grand total and 2,013,981, or 54.7 per cent, of their own group were colored. Ten years later the grand total had added unto itself 5,896,634, making a gran total as of 1920 of 40,449,346, of whom 8,549,511, or 21.1 per cent, were engaged in gainful occupations. If you have tears, prepare to shed them now; for even though the total Negro group had increased from 3,680.556 in 1910 to 4,043.763 in 1920, the number gainfully employed shrunk from 2,013.881, or 54.7 per cent, in 1910, to 1,571.281, or 38.9 per cent, in 1920, or a numerical and percentage loss among the sisters of 442.692 and 15.8 per cent, respectively. In other words, while nathi whites or native parentage and nathi whites or foreign or mixed parentage increased from 17.1 to 17.2 and from 24.6 to 24.9 per cent, respectively, our female group and the Indian-Chinese-Japanese groups dropped from 54.7 to 38.9 and from 17.6 to 13.7 per cent, respectively. There is but one answer to the scientific study in figures and percentages made in this analysis of the U. S. census figures, and that is that in the female industrial competition now going on the whites are GAINING laps on the blacks, the reds, the yellows and the brownns. Worst of all is the revelation that nearly every group, whether native or foreign born, will be calling OVER THE AMERICAN ECO WOMAN; and somebody is a party to the crime of holding colored women at the post of the industrial race, while all other groups are galloping to glory upon the back of a blind competition. Of course, no one is particularly happy that the hand which should be rocking the cradle is turning over mill and factory wheels; but if it must be so, then American colored women must not permit the mill to be used on the race. It's up to a whole lot of somebody to generate enough patriotism and "Made-in-America" spirit to see that the next decade witnesses, at least, the industrial parity of the colored sisters who, when steam shoels and harvest peppers were unhoarded of, were working the heaviest industrial tasks—and for a wage that would have made Rip Van Winkle ask not to be disturbed from his prolonged slumber. The Negro and the Mule "WHEN tractors and gang plows have been substituted in the South for the Negro and the mule, it will be infinitely better for the South and better for the Negro." Thus recently spoke one of the great economists of the country to a great mixed audience of quasi-British and pure blood Americans. The speaker, though, was on a Canadian platform and not in the heart of Dixieland, where, in spots, the Negro and the mule are still regarded as the Alpha and Omega of labor — this is, labor which the white South would rather leave undone than starve to death. Even now, when more Northern capital than ever before is being invested in Southern farms and factories, old-time superstition and belief that NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JAN. 27, 1926 Accountancy By C. E. ARMSTRONG. More failures have been due to a poor accountancy system than to any other one cause. The day has passed when a man can use his head for his accountant. Neither is putting in one book what is taken in, in a day's or week's trading, and in another book all that is paid out, accountancy. The trained accountant is a necessity to every business, if it would succeed. The principle involved is the same, whether it be small or large. Accountancy is the watchdog of business; it finds the leaks here and there, and many a concern that thought itself prosperous awoke to the realization that for years it had been losing money. Certain friends of mine often any to me, such and such a company is doing a tremendous business, they must be making money. Mere volume does not mean much. Give me the cost sheets, that will tell me whether they are making money, and that only. Time and time again, concerns have failed a few months or a year after they had published record-breaking business. Two typical cases in point were: the Westinghouse Electric, which failed in 1907, and Wilson & Co., Chicago packers. The Packing Co. for the fiscal year of 1923 attained the maximum volume in the history of the business. $600,000; yet in February, 1924, a receiver was appointed and, today, after over 18 months, the business is still in the hands of a receiver. Any accountant or banker could have predicted these failures months ahead. In the case of the Westinghouse Electric, vast sums of money were spent in financing experiments and put into the bank assets that in the panic of 1907 came frozen stiff. In the case of Wilson & Co., they had attained their volume by almost doubling their notes and accounts receivable. To do this, they had borrowed heavily from banks all over the country. The consequence was we were unable to interest and pay dividends on a prior preference issue of stock. Aside from showing the actual financial condition of a man's business, it enables him to more profitably finance his business. Every business has its peaks and valleys. The busiest time in the账簿 is until the Christmas holidays. The proper accounting system will show the merchant what were his requirements for that season last year, and what days he achieved his largest volumes; what lines of merchandise were the best sellers, and which were the drones; with a similar data, he would know what to trade on, and can fairly anticipate about what his margin of profit will be. Lastly, a business that presents an up-to-date financial statement to its banks, periodically, will be the business securing the largest lines of credit, and in a credit stringency the full force of the government will be forcefully, and sometimes painfully, driven home. the Negro and the mule are the only honest-to-goodness "tractors and gang plows" that are really worth while in Dixie still leaves the trail of unimproved farmland and vacant factory space where could be blooming lasting evidences of American production and efficiency. To those that do not know that the Negro and the mule are relics of post-slavery days, we extend our sincere sympathy. The Negro is no longer confined to the Southland; nor is the mule able to face violence with its adversaries, steam, gas and electricity, gas,iampton and their contemporaries are yearly turning out Negro artisans who know more about electric switchboards than they do about "Gee" and "Haw"; and the demand of proficiency has uppercut antiquity so frequently that the referee is sounding the count of time upon the medieval days of power in the Southland. Spots in the Southland begin to take a practical view of the genuine fostering of production, and do not wish to lag longer in the background of American progression because of fealty to human blipids and manual quadrupeds. The Negro and the mule stand superseded by a growing depletion upon the part of the Southland, and the time is not far off when those who persist in clinging to old-time ways will be as unpopular as the Ku Klux Klan is with the New York Court of Appeals. Though the South, in its social dilemma, may struggle for a time with Japanese and Mexican labor in the desire to make its sclents a class with collar men, believe it or not, Negro is not going to be gone from its midst as are the laying bloodhounds of the prostitutes, when U. S. Grant was a cadet at West Point. "Aframerican, North and South" "Aframerican, North and South" "Not many months ago, after I had printed a monograph wherein I had infiltrated that there were sometimes Aframericans of intelligence, there came to me, among other shocked letters from the white colony we meaintively," writes L. M. Hussey in the American Mercury Magazine for February and continues: "Could it be, this correspondent demanded, that I was genuinely in earnest? Did I honestly believe that a man with any treature of black blood was intelligent? Did I not, after all, simply perpetrated a joke—a dangerous and unhappy waggery, but a waggery nevertheless? "The memory of that question returns at this moment when I am about to undertake an inquiry dealing wholly with intelligent black men, and their contrasted status, North and South. Lest the ensuing survey be wholly unintelligible to readers in the Confederacy, it will be necessary at once to postulate my premise: that education and intelligence really exist in certain Negroes. The white Southerner, I fear, doubts it; he assumes it to be a contrary case. But let it not be supposed that he grounds his assumption entirely upon mere prejudice. In a measure it has its roots in experience. In that experience he has never met, to use his own word, a nigger whose mind' could be said, in any true sense, to function upon the higher levels. "The intelligent black of southern residence becomes more and more a figure isolated and lonely. Unless he happens to dwell in one of the larger cities he may be without any intellectual communication at all—since he is obligated to seek such communion in members of his own race. The local man is likely to be of his proximity, or, should chance bring his talents into notice, views him as a lusus naturae, like a five-legged calf or the idiot boy in the side-show who plays Bach and Beethoven by car. Lately one of these isolated Negroes, writing to me from his home in the South, confessional: "Lacking any sort of companionship that might amuse a man of my sort, I tend to withdraw more and more plenty of others, in other places, like me. We are becoming too introspective, and at the same time we are becoming bitter." I find this confession illuminating and important. It is illuminating because it illustrates a rather unguessed mental attitude in certain of the Aframericans living southward. I say the attitude is unguessed because the African, of all men, has a superb capacity for language, and thus may become embittered, and by the cachinous shrugging of his shoulders he has been able heretofore to shake off many a grievous affront. Now, however, scattered over the South, men of African blood abandon this racial gesture for a more dour men. And the process is interesting, not only psychologically, but in its social implications. The south people of South Africa begin to feel, and will yet feel more emphatically, the impress of these dark-skinned malcontents. "What happens, on the other hand, to the intelligent Negro who does find his way North? Does he better his condition, or is he, in the end, disillusioned? Just how questing ends in disillusionment. That is the polignant, common drama of life—the vanquishment of expectation by reality. Yet in many respects it seems to me that the black man of talent who journeys North, and also the talented man in the North play together in a role outside the everyday drama of lost aspiration. What I am about to disclose may perhaps be made clearer by quoting at first the confidence of one of those intelligent Aframerican who did find his way North. I was seated at luncheon with this man in the city of New York. His avocation was literature, but he earned his livelihood as an executive in a strictly Negro enterprise. Thus he was identified with the blacks, although otherwise he was physically white. There was in him a trivial sense of Negro blood, impossible to discern by any reasonable scrutiny that to me his claim to be a Negro seemed rather an affection. We were talking of the frequent passage of light-colored Aframerican into the white race. “For some that may be difficult.” I said, “but for you it would have been aburdly easy. Tell me, why is it you’ve never become a white man” "You understand," he answered, "that a Nogro goes white for but one reason—to better himself economically and socially. And if he manages to stay white without detection he gets away, of course, from certain indignities. He doesn't have to take the worst seats at the theatres and in the concert halls, and he can go unchallenged into fashionable restaurants ever, some of us have discern- and so forth. Nowadays, howed-I'm one of these—that an improved economic status doesn't necessarily follow a change of color. And by staying black we were not aware of the benefits that outweigh the other benefits I mentioned a moment ago. "Take my case, for example. I know well enough what my talents are. At any rate, I know what my achievement is to date. I consider myself an intelligent man and I think I've accomplished a few things somewhat out of the ordinary. At the same time, there are a considerable number of white men who have talents equal to mine, and who have done as much as I have. And most of these men are lost in the white race. They're almost unknown. Particularly, they haven't succeeded in making the connections, the contacts, the friends I have. I've found it easy to make notable contacts. One reason—because I'm avowed a Negro, because I'm avowed a Negro. Know the sort of people that come up to my apartment—some of the best friends in city. Would I know these men easily if I were white? I don't think so. They came in the beginning out of curiosity and perhaps also out of deference to a determination to put aside prejudice. Here, they said to themselves, "Is an intelligent colored man who is doing something. He's a curiosity. We want to investigate him." "They came out of curiosity and they remained when they found I was a companionable chap with a reliable bootleger. "Thus to the black man of accomplishment living in the North there comes an interesting reversal of his Southern status. His fortunes swing from an extreme of neglect to an extreme of notoriously. Perhaps, not unjustly, he is excessively lauded. Particularly is this true of the Negro whose activities are in the arts, major and minor. I recall the authenticated instance of a conspicuous white columnist on a Metropolitan daily desiring, in the excessive fervor of his escape from an erstwhile race prejudice, literally to kiss the hands of a particular Negro tenor who had just concluded a aecital. The evidence of this anger was undeniable, but it was also undeniably equalled by that of half a dozen white vocalists who would never be the objects of such osculatory enthusiasm. Similarly it happens with Negro poets, Negro authors, Negro musicians. Indeed, I find these talented black men in a measure the victims of white sentimentals. That is to say, they become victims when, no longer simply profiting by the sentimentalities of Northern sympathizers, they become victims of their selves. Into this error all the Negro intellectuals fall occasionally, particularly of late. Taking color from their emotional white friends, they themselves exaggerate the black man's contribution to present and past American culture. For instance, observing a devoted interest on the part of audience and auditor of their spirituals, they very commonly assume that these spirituals are a lotty contribution to the world's music. Finding their poets between covers, and reading the reviews in the Northern white press, they fail to distinguish between rhymerst and authentic Parnasans—they are slow to see that for every genuinely fine piece of Negro poetry声声, James W. Johnson "Creation" there are a thousand pieces of dialect doggerel, charming at times, but doggerel. "Misled by white sentimentallists, some of the current blacks uncritically mistake the child for the man. But the Negro race, as a whole, is in no grave danger of oversentimentalizing its attainments. No other race is so powerful as the Negro, by pycnical. By virtue of this saving cynicism the intelligent black who has escaped the rigors of Southern isolation, having come North, accepts the excessive plaudits of white men with a concealed grin. He comprehends that the emotional fellow who would kiss his hand is actually doing his prejudice of his earlier prejudices knows that the white sentimentallist still regards him, after all, as a kind of lusus nature. "He sees that he is praised whenever his talents approach, imitatively, certain white talents, whenever his qualities match certain white qualities. And he finds the sentimentalist mate, saying nothing in praise, before his especial Negro girl. His magnificent love of daughter, his magnificent cynical viewpoint, his regal gestures, his abounding capacity for play, his indifference to industrialism—who lauds these things? and who urges the Negro intellectual to give them cultural expression?" In spite of the fact that climatic conditions have been unfavorable for the boll weevil during the last two years, the number of boll weevils entering hibernation at various points in the cotton belt last fall was higher than in any of the previous years, except one, for which records are available. We hibernation this winter is decidedly above the normal average. This is shown by studies that the Department of Agriculture has made points in Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Cotton farmers are warned by the department not to conclude, from the comparative immunity from boll weevil infestation which they have had during the last two years, that similar conditions will in 1928. We then compete and summer climatic conditions, and the amount of damage done in the last two years, will determine weevil infestation this year, says the department. While the rate of weevil survival through the winter is definitely determined by the weather, a factor of almost equal importance is the number of weevils actually entering hibernation in the fall. The department's investigations show that there is no basis for the idea that there is no damage done to the cotton crop of 1925 means there can only be a small number of weevils in hibernation at the present time.

SURELY, the statements attributed to District Attorney Charles White, as to the way uneven-handed justice is dispensed in the Washington Heights Court, will be found grave enough to warrant a thorough investigation by the District Attorney's Office and by Chief Magistrate McAdoo. According to the Assistant District Attorney, the conditions are so bad that it is possible for confirmed criminals to be dismissed without a hearing, and that corruption is rampant. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS has often marvelled at the ease with which a certain clique of lawyers in the Washington Heights Court are able to successfully defend persons charged with serious crimes before the bar, and has sought time after time in its editorial columns to bring the matter before responsible authorities. We have tried to point out that the ease with which confirmed criminals escape the penalty of the law in the Magistrates' Courts really acts as a stimulus to the commission of crimes. THESE CHARGES are now substantiated by the statements of an assistant district attorney, who has observed the workings of this court at first-hand. A thorough investigation should be made at once.

Pickens to Be Annual On February 12, 1926, the Lincoln Association of Jersey City, founded in 1867, will hold its fifty-ninth annual Lincoln Day banquet, with 200 of the best known men of Jersey.

The eminent line of former speakers has included Admiral Sims, Governor Yates, other governors of the state, John "Opportunity" Magazine for February With one of the best special numbers of its career, "Opportunity: Journal of Negro Life," published by the National Urban League, 127 East 231st street, New York City, devotes its February issue to the problems of "The Negro in Industry." Never before in the history of the black man in his trek northward for a fairer share in the fruits of industrial labor has there been such a gathering together of the best minds, both black and white, on the outlook, ideals, experience and triumphs of the Negro in steel, cotton, iron and coal mining. A glance at some of the leading essays and the undoubted qualifications of the men secured to write them is enough to convince anyone of the accuracy and scientific thoroughness which have gone into the preparation of the number. In it, for instance, William A. Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, asks himself the question, "Why Belong to the Union?" Other articles are as follows: "The Negro in the cotton Industry," by E. Franklin Frazier, "Optimum in Negro Farm Life," by W. S. Scarborough. Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal's Bill to compel landlords to make repairs at the direction of local authorities. Grenthal was re-elected to the Assembly from the district of which Mr. Costuma is leader. Even the most casual observer must admit that there is something vitally wrong with the New York County Republican organization; and since Mr. Koenig has been its chairman for fifteen years, we do not see how he can escape some of the responsibility for whatever is wrong. Under his leadership the organization and the Republican vote have steadily declined in influence and number for the past five years, with little or nothing being done to check the decline. "ALMOST ANY CHANGE we could make in the present Republican leadership," says Mrs. Parsons, "must be for the better," and most Republicans will agree with her. Racially speaking, Mr. Koenig's leadership has never been looked upon with favor except by a very small number of Negroes, so if the move to oust him from the chairmanship is successful few tears will be shed in this quarter of the city. If Mr. Costuma's charge is well founded (and knowing something of the veracity of both men we have little reason to doubt but that it is), it cannot help but add to the antipathy Mr. Koenig is believed to have for Negro citizens in general, knowing, as he must know, that Assemblyman Grenthal was elected from a Harlem district and that his bill would have brought relief to Negro rentpayers. "A NEGRO SHOT ME." These are the dying words of a white man who was shot last October 30 in Glen Cove, Long Island, and which have been given the lie to the satisfaction of the Nassau County police. The man, Charles Clayton, a former guard in the employ of J. P. Morgan, it now seems, was killed by the son of his close white friend. Furthermore, it also developed that if the police have the right man under arrest for the murder, Clayton knew he was telling a lie at the time he said a colored man shot him. BUT WHY ACCUSE A NEGRO OF THE DEED? Could not he as easily have said, and wouldn't it have been just as feasible for him to have said that he was shot by an Italian, a Jew, a Russian, or a Frenchman? CLAYTON'S DYING WORDS are but the echo of an American tendency on the part of police authorities, the press and a large part of the public to fasten dastardly crimes upon Negroes all out of proportion to their just deserts.

P. when he was in this country in 1935, has written a book in the Japanese language upon the history and problems of the Negro, and a copy of the book has arrived from Japan at the N. A. A. C. P. National Office, 69 Fifth avenue, New York City. The N. A. A. C. P. furnished Mr. Mitsukawa with information on race relations. His friend, Rash Behari Bose, who sends the book, writes: "This book is the first attempt in the Japanese language to educate the people here in regard to the many problems of the colored people. "Mr. Mitsukawa has further asked me to convey to you his heartfelt thanks for the assistance rendered by you and to inform the colored people through you that Young Japan, like Young Juda, heartily sympathize with the aspirations of the Negroes." Prejudice and Logic IN the American Mercury for November I contributed an article on the Negro as a laborer. In the course of the treatment, I stated that in dealing with the race problem, we find that logic and good sense are often at variance with each other. The editor of Opportunity takes exception to this assertion and seems to think that the two can always be worked as a part of the same formula. Race prejudice is essentially unreasonable. The very etymology of the word "prejudice" shows that judgment precedes investigation and analysis, which violates all of the rules of logic and orderly thinking. It afflicts the mind as a demoniacal possession. It heeds none of the rules and laws of thought. When prejudice enters the mind, reason takes flight. The victims of prejudice can hardly not naturally nor normally, but must flounder about for a feasible course of action as the circumstances under which they labor will allow. I live in the city of Washington, which separates the provisions for education on the basis of race. I do not believe in this plan of division among American citizens. If I should follow the logic of my belief to its ultimate conclusion, I would either pay for my children private education or let them grow up in ignorance. But my good-sense steps in and causes me to violate the integrity of my conviction and send my children to the Jim-crow schools, as provided by law. I clearly remember when Mr. Rockefeller gave the first $25,000 to help build the colored Young Men's Christian Association in the city of Washington, sunny of our logically minded citizens refused to contribute to the enterprise or to have any relations to it on the ground that it was but the thin edge of the wedge of race discrimination. To one such objector I asked if he felt that colored men would be given needed advantages at the white association. This, he conceded, at present was unthinkable. But he felt that the encouraging of a Negro establishment merely postponed the time when all might unite and join in the same facilities. I conceded his lozic, but questioned his practical wisdom or common sense. Let us take it for granted that every colored Young Men's Christian Association building in the country is biological and un-Christian, and stands as a practical refutation of the doctrine of democracy and Christianity. But under the circumstances by which we are environed who will say that they do not embody the workable principle of same judgment and good-sense. Every institution and organization in the land of a purely racial character and function is essentially illogical and serves to embitassize and perpetuate race distinction which it pretends to despise. The National Negro Urban League falls easily within this category. The semi-detached Negro religious denominations, which are a part of, and yet apart from, the white bodies to which they render allegiance and obedience, are wholly illogical. Grim necessity compels the Negro walker to serve in fields which exclude his own race and color. The Negro often becomes the proprietor of establishments which discriminate against his own flesh and blood. We deplore the necessity of such self-humiliation, but we concede that the victim of race prejudice is prone to act irrationally. I stood the other day and observed the erection of a magnificent building of a Negro establishment. The bricklayers were all white and the hollow carriers were all colored. How illogical and absurd it all seemed to be. And yet this anomalous spectacle was not more illogical and inconsistent than nine-tenths of all of our ages. In the city of Washington we have a spindid theatre and dance hall built for Negro patrons. The entire Negro population of the national capital patronize the jim-crow theatres, wholly unconscious or involved logical absurdity. To cap the climax, the populace gives entertainments in these jim-crow theatres to raise funds to tight residential segregation. The process has become so common as to become unconscious. I have somewhere in my files a letter from a local celebrity protecting against colored people patronizing the first segregated theatre built in Washington. According to the prevalent judgment, this ardent advocate of absolute and Book Chat by MARY WHITE OVINGTON "The Basis of Race Adjustment" By Thomas Jackson Woofter, Jr. Published by Ginn & Co., 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Price $1.40 postpaid. "THIS book is primarily an effort to give the authentic facts concerning the different phases of Negro life in the United States today." So Mr. Woofter says in his preface. And he proceeds to present in clear, if somewhat colorless English, a series of facts on Negro Health, Education, Production, Law and Order. Religion and Racial Co-operation. By KELLY MILLER unvarying equality was very logical, very consistent and very wrong. Race prejudice leads to strange paradoxes. A distinguished colored citizen, dressed in a golf outfit, was heard to declare that he would rather die than be found in the separate bathing pool which the city of Washington was in the act of providing. On being cross-questioned, it was revealed that he had just come from the city Jim-crow golf links. On sunday occasions I have been invited to address white gatherings at their clubs or places of meeting, where no Negro was expected to be frequent, except as a servant. I knew that my presence was tolerated only for that particular occasion. Neither myself nor any other member of my race would be welcome the day before or the day after the stated occasion. Should I refuse to render the requested service because the whole establishment was hypothetically unequal in race discrimination and prejudice? What upstanding colored man has not had the same or similar experience? Which should we obey—the rigid exactions of logical consistency or the practical dictates of common-sense? I was in Chicago on one occasion when the Federation of Church, in a spasm of virtue, ventured upon the exchange of pulpits between white and colored ministers, Dr. Black announced to his congregation that next Sunday morning he had arranged to exchange pulpits with Dr. White. He expressly stated to his people that he desire with any of his members to follow him to the white church, nor be expected any of the white congregation to follow their pastor to his church. It was to be purely an interchange of pulpits and not of congregations. This is a classic illustration of bad logic, but good sense. Practice-minded people are never daunted by the restraints of logical consistency. The Anglo-Saxon mind never has the formulas of logic stand between it and the accomplishment of its purpose. When theory conflicts with practice, so much the worse for the theory. The liebrow race is highly practically minded. Wherever they live among Gentiles and do business among them, they keep open their stores on Saturday, which is their sacred Sabbath. Sticklers for logical adherence are usually regarded as impractical docrinaires. I notice running through the press a stream of violent criticism of Roland Hays, because he did not require abolition of race discrimination in places where he was to appear. The Negro race has never before Book MARY WHITE "The Basis of R By Thomas Jackson Woofter, Jr. Avenue, New York City. Price "T THIS book is primarily authentic facts concern Negro life in the U. Woofter says in his preface sent in clear, if somewhat facts on Negro Health, Edu Order. Religion and Racial Mr. Woofter is from Georgia and his book is, I imagine, intended primarily for Southern students interested in social service. The writer, however, is quite as ready to quote figures against the white South as for it. He shows the inquiries of the tenant system and recognizes that not only economic opportunity, but ill-treatment by his white landlord, lead to the Negro's exodus from the South. Of that exodus he says: "It is estimated that over, 11,000 farms, aggregating 250,000 acres, were deserted in Georgia between January and May, 1923." There were 700,000 fewer Negroes in agriculture in 1920 than in 1910. In the end, however, he thinks that the scattering of the Negroes throughout the country will work to the South's advantage, as it may eliminate the black counties that are the burgeon of those who fear Negro domination. The chapter on education discusses the distribution of school funds. In one Southern State, where the Negroes constitute nearly half the total population and own about one twentieth of the property, they receive only one-third fifth of the money appropriated. How childish, when one is retailing placed such requirement upon any other Negro artist. Bert Williams was in wide demand, subject to the conditions of his management. Negro troops are filling engagements in all parts of the country where local distinctions prevail. I used to go to the theatre once a week, as a part of my education. In those days there was no discrimination in the Washington playhouses. Since the theatres have segregated colored patrons I have not put my foot over the threshold. I fail to understand why any colored person can claim any right or privilege to hear Mr. Hayes that he does not exercise in case of any other performer. Why should they demand to be given unusual advantage because a Negro is to perform? If they do not like the seating arrangements, why not force the management to remove such discrimination on general grounds if this can be done; if not, let them remain away, regardless of whom the artist might be. It is very unfair to impose on Mr. Hayes the onus of fighting the race battle in communities where the people have yielded to local regulation by long acceptance. Mr. Hayes is a superlative musical artist. He can best serve his race through the ministration of art. It seems to me cowardly to a passimulous degree to expect him to perfect his art and, at the same time, fight for our rights, while we sit supinely by and wait for him to admit us where we have not the courage to force our own way. It is a new tact that the race battle is taking. Rooker Washington, Dudus and Dunbar were frequently invited to appear before audiences where colored people were neither accustomed nor expected to go. Is it that we wish to limit Mr. Hayes to those civil rights houses where there is no race distinction? Or might it not be a wiser philosophy to encourage our great musician to carry the ministration of song even to those places and communities where we may not follow? No genuine artist should be expected to interfere with local arrangements. He may or may not consent to appear if local conditions grate harshly upon his sensibilities. But all of this should be left to his own judgment and discretion. Mr. Bergsen, the noted Jewish philosopher, visited this country some time ago, as a philosopher and not as a Jew. His fellow race men did not see fit to embarrass him by racial limitations. On the other hand, Einstein came here as a Jew rather than as a scientist. Mr. Hayes is a superlative artist. He will serve his race to better advantage if we permit him to function before the world as an artist, and not as a professional Negro agitator. Chat M.

He shows clearly what few Northerners understand, the educational advantage a white child has who lives in the black belt. The school money is appropriated per capita and the white child in one of the northern white counties in, let us say, Alabama, gets only his lawful share; but on the same basis of distribution in one of Alabama's black counties, the white child gets many times more than its per capita share. It gets, also, a large proportion of what belongs to the Negro child, in this chapter on education Mr. Wootter pays a beautiful tribute to the Northern teachers who went South in the days of reconstruction, and adds that it is not yet time for the North to withdraw its philanthropy. While the book is an admirable compendium of facts, it is, nevertheless, disappointing. What one wants to know is the way out of these conditions, and Mr. Wooster offers, as his title suggests, interracial cooperation. But he tells us very little about it.

From the Southern rural communities of the United States and the tropical villages of the West Indies they have taken up their abode in large cities of the North and West. The Negro is also advancing, both economically and socially, following the modern standard of living. Thousands and thousands of Negro women in the United States cannot now be considered of the peonage and lowly class. Their ideals and ideas have changed with the state of society in which they now live. Negro women of the large cities of the United States are now grappling with urban problems,—that of making money, and securing super- for educational advantages; others are entering into a life of excessive amusement and excitement and social climbing; they all are being weaned away from the old ideals and ideas of the heartside; they have been caught in the congestion, vanities and selfishness of the "big" cities. The old gospel of "be fruitful. Mary White Ovington For years Miss Mary White Ovington has given lavishly of her time and energy to the cause of the Negro. Her first book on the subject, "Half a Man," was the result of living for months among colored people in New York City. She was instrumental in bringing about the first meetings which resulted in the organization of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of whose Board of Directors she has been chairman for a number of years. It is Miss Ovington who came upon the poem of James Russell Lowell, "The Present Crisis," from which the name of "The Crisis" magazine is derived. Miss Ovington investigated the Atlanta race riots for the Evening Post of New York. Besides "Half a Man," she has written "Hazel," a book for children; "The Upward Path," a reader designed especially for colored children; "The Shadow," a novel on the problem of race intermixture; and has given numerous lectures throughout the country. Miss Ovington now writes "Book Chat," comment on books of especial interest to colored readers, which is sent out semi-monthly to colored newspapers throughout the United States. Wife of U. S. Consul in France Sends $50 to Fund Mrs. William H. Hunt, whose husband is United States Consul at Saint-Etienne, France, has sent a contribution of $50 to the Legal Defense Fund being raised by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and in her letter states that Mr. Hunt intends to send a similar sum. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt learned of the Legal Defense Fund through "The Crisis," which goes to them at Saint-Etienne. Mr. Hunt is one of the few colored Americans in the U.S. Consular Service and has held office for many years.

"Heat apoplexy" has stricken many workers in the great depths, and nine owners are considering a refrigeration scheme. committees and we have a couple of pages of their attainments, chiefly in social service work. Under the chapter on lynching we learn that more deeds of violence have been prevented by interracial activity than have occurred. But we have no data given, and some of us need facts to convince us of the value of the interracial committees in such fundamental issues as Law and Order. I, for one, need some facts, chiefly because in the early chapters Mr. Woottier describes the sort of Negro he wants on an interracial committee. He must be tactful and not demand rights. One reads a time-worn phrase like this: "The right leader does not antagonize that advocates hard work and gradual advance. The wrong leader is one who believes that rights are inherent and believes in demanding them." The Negro must have a fair trial by jury, but there is no suggestion that, to get this, his race must be permitted to sit upon juries. Rather, we learn that "the descendants of the Anglo-Saxon have gained a supremacy in many lands because they have been supremely fair and supremely just." How can anyone today with a knowledge of Germany's African rule, of England in India, of the United States in Haiti, write such nonsense as this? Or, must heap, step Mr. Wrothoff's comments, and joice in the excellent array of facts he has given us. for educational advantages; others are entering into a life of excessive amusement and excitement and social climbing; they all are being weaned away from the old ideals and ideas of the heartside; they have been caught in the congestion, vanities and selfishness of the "big" cities. The old gospel of "be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth" has been superseded by a modern creed of "practice birth control and enjoy yourself." Negro women in the large cities are not entering into wedlock as early as in days gone by; an increased materialism, social cravings, a desire for pleasure, and the increasing irresponsibility of the men are the chief causes; the result is a late marriage, with its resulting sterility either acquired or self imposed. Immorality with its resulting venereal disease is also increasing among the Negro women of the large cities; a large part of every city physician's practice is treatment for inflammation and congestion of the organs peculiar to women. There are certain advantages gained by the Negroes coming to the large cities; these are financial, educational, social and political; yet there are certain social factors entering into the modern development of Negro women in the large cities that is lessening in a great degree their pro-creative qualities. The only ray of hope is in the women still remaining in the rural sections of the country; in them maternal fruitfulness is still both a desire and an accomplishment. The Voice at the Altar (Dedicated to Roland Hayes) TOO long, with mind aloof and heart ungracious, We kept our heedless ways. Then came those flaming souls, sublime and spacious, Dunbar and Roman, Washington and Hayes. They all are loved, your presence and your powers Not less than any of your race of ours. The soul that struggles with me foam-wrecked surges Is dashed against the pliers; It feels the gripping of those phantom urges That haunt our fortitude with coward fears; But out of all the welter of the strife. Yours is the helped glow of full orbed life. Though Winter winds the chock of youth are chilling And clouds are overbend; Though fates adverse our hearts with fear are filling And faith in beauty and romance is dead. In your clear voice I hear the in finite calling. Its cadence on the soul like show ers falling. Such grace and rhythm are ever born of beauty And woven into the heart: The music of the love-inspired dut Is still for you the final word in art, A shrine to which the heart for healing turns Where rich love-lincense on the alar burns. And while the gift is on the alar burning, The fire falls from the skies With flame so pure that every soul is yearning For love more leep, and heaven to earth replies. to burn hearts. As in the single life dreams are defi- ned. So purest life is in your voice or shrined. The galleries thunder while you how annoying. The thousands linger there, a deep ly annotated throng.
