GIRL HELD PRISONER IN BARN BY WHITE GANG BY THE CAMERAMAN Singing Souls I seems to us that the versatile Cleveland C. Allen is unduly alarmed when he says: "The Negro spirituals are now being overdone, and are being sung by persons who have no conception of their social background or their religious significance. It will be unfortunate if these songs lose their proper value." Brother Allen is evidently looking at the hole in the doughnut and is becoming musically pessimistic. It is quite true that some dross is now found in the golden tones of soulful Negro music. The same, too, is true of the German, Italian and Russian schools of music. And what could be more painful to one of soul music declensions than to listen to a clumsy, soulless condition of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" or Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto? And, lest Allen forget, commercialism must, to some degree, enter into the broadcasting of Negro spirituals and all other spirituals in order that they may be brought ear to ear and soul to soul into contact with respondents who know and appreciate the soul of music of a race. However, we would like to ask mother Allen to look at the credit side of the Negro spiritual ledger, in it he will hear Fritz Kroelser's joint interpreting Clarence Camron White's arrangement of "Noody Knows do Trouble I've seen." he will recall the night when the new York Hippodrome Theatre sent francis over John McCormack's reedition of Hurry Burrough's "Little Mother of Mine," he will remember the urge which Miss Maud Powell, famed American violinist, gave to the works of F. Coleridge Taylor. No! No! No! There no cause for foam over the future of the Negro spirituals, which are more truthfully interpreted today by more artists to more audiences than ever before. The singing soul of no Negro is in America to stay; and if a few imitations and commercialistic vehicles, here and here, do it an occasional injustice, that is no more than what is true in other fields, and is no reason for becoming blind to the rearside of Negro music, spiritualistic or christian. Objection Overruled THE United States Senate passed the World Court protocol by a vote of 76 to 17; but don't think for a moment that the administration sen- sors had an easy time in put- ting over the approval of this country to become an integral part of a plan for the promo- tion of world peace. Just listen to the following quoted "gem" of dissent, coming from a Democratic senator from the Palmetto State: "I call the attention of senators from the South, while they are voting on this reservation, to the fact that they are voting for a court where we are to sit side by side with a full-blooded Democrat, who has as much right as we have in the election of the judge of this court. I ask them if they realize the fact that there may be and very probably will be a representative of Haiti as a judge on this court, so that the southern senators are voting to throw the destinies of southern women and southern men into the lap of a black man? Haiti has joined the League of Nations and has a representative in the assembly of the League who will vote for the judges of the court." But the Senate had evidently included that international peace only meant, world peace; and but whatever seeming disadvantages measured were more than offence to the assurance that Americas boys, white and black, can be trained to develop and enjoy America's progress rather than the desi-ness of warfare, for the prestige of blight, in Flanders field or at the outset of the sea. Some day the Negroes who are opposed away from the South Carolina state booths will enjoy their full constitutional rights as voters. When that day comes the representatives from the Palmetto State and its sister commonwealths in Dixie will more faithfully safe hard the rights of all the people. Hon. James J.

Morton Presiding Public Invited TO "BREAK THE BONDS" Patronize Only Stores Employing Negroes LEXINGTON, KY., UNDER MARTIAL LAW 1,000 TROOPS ON GUARD AT TRIAL OF KENTUCKY MURDERER Man Is Charged With Triple Murder and Attack on Woman—Business in Zone Suspended LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 2.—With 1,000 troops of the Kentucky National Guard guarding the court house, patrolling the highways leading into the city and generally policing the city to prevent mob violence, Ed. Harris, who is alleged to have confessed a triple slaying and an attack on a white woman, is on trial here today. The troops were ordered here to prevent the recurrence of a tragedy which occurred six years ago during the trial of William Lockett. Decision to order troops here was reached last week by Gov. W. J. Fields after a conference with local and county officials, which was kept secret until late Saturday. Col. Dan Carroll, white, commander of the 138th Field Artillery who will be in command of the troops, arrived from Louisville, Monday, but declined to give a statement. The only information came through the Mayor, Sheriff and County Judge of Fayette County, who issued a proclamation telling citizens the area that would be closed to all traffic. Harris was to be brought here under military guard from the Frankfort Reformatory, where he was taken after being arrested at Georgetown while endeavoring to escape from the State. Business and professional men whose offices are located in the closed zone have announced that they would permit their places to be closed during the trial. Gov. Fields in a statement issued from his sick bed at Frankfort Sunday, said that the "situation was serious," but "it will be well handled." The crime attributed to Harris was one of the most revolting in the history of the Blue Grass country in which it was committed. After having killed Clarence Bryant and his two children, he is said to have attacked the mother and seriously wounded her. He then made his way to the home of George Blanchard, where he told that he had killed three and attacked a woman. He also told Blanchard he was going to get away. It was through the information given by Blanchard, to whom Harris told of his crime, that he was captured. A reward has been subscribed for Blanchard. Commonwealth Attorney Maurey Komper has announced that Harris will be tried on the attack charge, as it will permit his execution here after conviction. Kentucky's laws permit two death sentences, electrocution for murder and hanging for attacks on women. The Commonwealth attorney said that the execution here would be a deterrent to further crime. Officials stated that they expected the trial to be brief and that probably all the troops would be on route back to their homes.

IN GREATER NEW YORK ELSEWHERE 5c Urges All Its Branches to See That Protests Reach Members of Senate The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has notified its branches throughout the United States of the bill introduced in Congress by Senator Caraway of Arkansas, which would prohibit the intermarriage of Negroes and white people in the District of Columbia and make it unlawful for persons so married to reside in the District or for those so married and now residents to return to the District for residence if they once leave it. The penalty prescribed by the bill for anyone violating any of the provisions of the act is a fine of not more than $1,000 and imprisonment for not less than one year or more than five years. N. A. A. C. P. branches are called upon by the national office to send telegrams to the Senators from their state, and to induce prominent white and colored people to send letters and telegrams demanding that the bill be opposed. Local editors of both white and colored publications are to denounce the bill editorially, and churches, lodges, fraternal bodies and political clubs are to be asked to pass resolutions denouncing Senator Caraway's measure. The bill is numbered S. 2160 and all communications to Senators should mention it by number. The N. A. A. C. P. give the following reasons for opposing all such measures: 1. That marriage should be entirely a matter of individual choice between persons who are eligible to enter the marriage contract under the general laws of the land. 2. That the Negro cannot in self-respect consent to have himself written down in the statute books as something outside and beneath the human race. 3. That such such law sweeps away from colored girls and women the protection, legal recourse and remedy, where white men are concerned, to which they are entitled as well as other girls and women. 4. That the enactment of such laws does not stop intermixture, but sets the stamp of legal approval upon concubinage, bastardy and the degradation of colored women, deprived of the protection of maritality.

"If this was a righteous world," said Dr. Dubois, "the men and women who do the hardest work would receive the most pay. "The trouble with our education is, it has been for professions not for men. We must seek our education to make men." Dr. Dubois said that if parents ant their children to increase their incomes when they get out the world, they must see to it at they get as fine a preparation as possible. "Parents take a little interest sometimes in education of their children, and leave it to the teachers in e school to shape and direct their lives. The kind of preparation we want our children to have will depend upon ourselves. We must ask ourselves the question how far are we willing to let our children go in their preparation." Continuing Dr. Dubois said: "the elementary grades are the most important years of the children's education. This elementary fining gives the key to the future education of our children." Dr. Dubois said that there were varieties of things to which our children might enter after their education. He grouped these under eight heads beginning with the lowest in the labor scale, here the least training was required, to the more highly specialized and technical trades and professions. The higher that we go these 57 varieties, said Dr. Duis, will depend upon our training and preparation. The forum was opened with a session on "How to Solve the Situation," led by Atty, mastass.

Koenig to Fight 'to Retain Post Move to Oust Republican Chairman Gains Headway Successor Mentioned Samuel S. Koonig, Chairman of the New York County Republican Committee, returned Monday morning from a three weeks' vacation in Florida, ready to join issue with those who have started a movement to oust him. It is expected that he will devote particular attention to the charge made by David B. Costuna, leader of the Nineteenth Assembly District, that he caused the defeat in the State Senate of the Grenthal rent bill after the County Committee had endorsed it. Municipal Court Justice John R. Davies, who is Chairman of the Resolutions Committee, is expected to call a meeting of that committee this week to consider the Costuma charges and to determine its report to the County Committee at its next meeting, the third Thursday in February. While Mr. Koenig and his friends are seeking to consolidate their forces, those who seek to force him out of the county chairmanship hope to convince his supporters that his retirement is desirable in the interests of party harmony, with a Governor and United States Senator to be elected this Fall.

Windy City Politician Deplores Lack of Unity in New York City Speaking at the fourth anniversary of the Appomattox Republican Club Tuesday evening, Hon. Louis Anderson of Chicago and a member of the Board of Aldermen of that city, said that the Negroes of New York must break from the moorings of Tammany Hall and support the Republican party. "The Republican party," said Mr. Anderson, "is the best party for the Negroes, and that the attention of the Negro must be aroused to the principles of the Republican party." He said that the underlying principles of the Republican party are best for our group. Mr. Anderson deplored the lack of political unity of the Negroes in New York, and said that if the colored vote of New York was properly marshalled it could demand a larger patronage than it does. He said that the Negroes of Chicago were united politically. "We follow the leadership of Edward Wright, who is one of the most courageous political leaders of the country," he said. "Through him we demand large representation in both municipal and state affairs. Some of the most representative political offices in Chicago are held by Negroes." Mr. Anderson said that the first Congressional District in Chicago comprised three wards with a Negro vote of 60,000. "The reason we support Madden is because he has been true to the Negro. The residential ward in which I live 99 per cent of the colored voters are Republicans who receive their full share of patronage." Charles T. Fillmore, president of the club, presided. GUEST AT SOCIAL AFFAIRS. Alderman Anderson was guest at a number of social affairs.

BOWIE HAMPTON'S FOUNDER'S DAY ORATOR Rector of Grace Congregational Church Praises Former Principals of Institution Had Richmond Charge Eleven Years. HAMPTON, Feb. 1.—The Rev. Dr. Walter Russell Bowie, rector of Grace Church, New York City, delivered the Founder's Day Address Sunday at Hampton institute. Dr. James E. Gregg, Principal of Hampton Institute, in introducing Dr. Bowie, said: "We welcome with deep gladness and gratitude as the speaker and guest of honor on this Founder's day the Rev. Walter Russell Bowie, for eleven years rector of St. Paul's Church in Richmond, now rector of Grace Church in New York City, a sound scholar, a true poet, a convincing preacher of human theology. A worthy son of Virginia, he exemplifies in his lineage the old South at its best and in his own generous spirit the new South at its finest and best." Dr. Bowle paid a warm tribute to Iolls Burke Frissell, principal of Hampton for nearly twenty-five years, as a man of wisdom and faith, who brought about new understanding and better co-operation between peoples North and South concerning the problem of race adjustment. Dr. Bowle spoke in part as follows: "What must we do if we are to conserve most fully the ideals for the development of a disadvantaged race, and for that peaceful and fair adjustment of different races to serve which Hampton Institute was built?" "General Armstrong saw that the seed was to build a civilization. He started people where they were. He built at Hampton Institute a kingdom of a better day. Armstrong led the way through limitation. "The great spiritual heritage of the colored race is its capacity or tool to sing songs that no calamities can put to silence. I do not know of any other music native to these American shores so beautiful as the old models songs on the old southern plantations which at lampson you have preserved. these songs express the great urge of religious hope the colored people have given America; the id not only of endurance but of authority. "The Negro race also has the priceless heritage to loyalty. So song as he is true to this loyalty do Negro in the humbleest or in the greatest place need ever think that self-restraint and the spirit of service are something of which to be ashamed. They walk the way of Christ, and those who walk the way of Christ are not defeated. "The Negro people has its own names and in its own spirit, are capitulated and intact, can gain dignity of self expression and can bring to the life of the whole human family a richness of gifts which will never be true If its racial stock should be washed away like an island of sand in a river. "The best destiny of the Negro race is not to be swept into the current of other racial assimilations. Rather, it is to build continually the dykes of self-respect around its own integrity and to develop therein the kingdom of its own soul." William Coles, 32, 148 W. 1424 street, was held in $2,500 bail on an assault charge made by Charles Davies, white, 1980 Seventh avenue. Davies said that he was attacked while he was in the alleyway of 164 W. 132nd street. 135th St. Y.M.C.A.

Magistrate Flood in Manhattan Court Thursday gave him 30 days in the workhouse and revoked his license for all time. Three separate charges were made against Mitchell—driving his car while drunk, having no license, and running away from the scene of an accident. Newman said that Mitchell had hit his car at Lenox avenue and 145th street, Sunday night. It was then discovered that Mitchell had no license with him. He fled from the scene and was captured only after a three blocks' chase, it was charged. Mitchell produced his license in court, declaring he had left it home the night of the collision.

Man and His Wife Arraigned in Court Charges Grew Out of Husband's Arrest as Policy Player A man and his wife, were arraigned in the Washington Heights Court. Monday morning, on charges of felonious assault, disorderly conduct and the possession of policy slips. The man, Frank Graham, 226 W. Sixty-third street, was held in $2,000 bail for a further hearing. His wife, Estella Graham, was given the option of paying a $2 fine or spending one day in the workhouse after being found guilty on the disorderly conduct charge. The other charges were not pressed against her. "While he was standing on the corner of 145th street and Seventh avenue, early Monday morning, Graham was arrested by officer ```markdown ``` Hart of the Third Division. According to the officer, the prisoner's wife came up and asked to speak to him. The officer said that when he informed her that she would have to come either to the station house or the court, she grabbed him by the collar and stuck a pin in his face. Following his wife's attack, Graham jumped upon the policeman and gave him several blows, the officer declared. About this time Officer Gidell of the Third Division came upon the scene and helped his brother officer make the arrest. The woman pleaded not guilty when she was arraigned before Magistrate Simpson. She claimed that she had been sick for over a month and was unable to raise her arm. She only tried to take the officers off her husband while they were beating him on the ground. She denied that she assaulted the officer with a pln. She did not have the $2 fine but Junius Greene, real estate dealer and broker, came to her rescue and paid it for her. She said that she was going to get a lawyer to plead her husband's case which was adjourned until Friday. Council Sends Delegates to Rent Hearings The delegates representing the North Harlem Community Council THREE left early Tuesday morning for Albany, to attend the rent hearing. The delegates, headed by Attorney George Hall and James Middleton, were appointed at a meeting at P. S. 89, Friday evening, January 29, 1926. Interest in the extension of the present Emergency Rent Laws is intense because the tenants of Harlem feel certain that if the laws are allowed to lapse a move by many landlords to increase rents will follow immediately. James Brown, 34, 16 West 133d street, and Mrs. Louise Ross, 27, 19 West 133d street, were each held in $500 bail for a further hearing Thursday when arraigned before Magistrate Corrigan in Heights Court on a charge of possessing narcotics. Brown, it is said, had been under surveillance for some time suspected of peddling drugs.

Several other packages were found in the woman's room, the detectives say, and they were both placed under arrest.

DENNIS All who missed the lecture last Sunday afternoon at Moth most fortunate. All who to admit: "Surely never a than she did." She was invited and her message certainly was inspiration. All who missed the lecture of Miss Nannie Burroughs last Sunday afternoon at Mother Zion A.M.E. Church were most fortunate. All who were present were compelled to admit: "Surely never a woman spoke more brilliantly than she did." She was invited to speak to the Sisterhood and her message certainly was so forceful that all received inspiration. To my mind, there is no woman of the race to equal Miss Burroughs in daring endurance, ability and charm. The "Liberty," a very popular weekly magazine, about a month ago, published a list of the greatest women in America. Among some of the prominent ones mentioned were Jane Addams, Carrie Chapman Catt, Mary Roberts Reinhardt and in the center of the list was the name of Nannie Burroughs. So not only members of our group acknowledge her greatness, but the entire country recognizes and honor her as one of the makers of its history. same woman largely supports the church. Then it is the church's business to care for her children. "It is the duty of every woman to live, so that her life may be an inspiration to all in the community." At the conclusion of her address, Dr. I. W. Brown spoke: "We are grateful," he said: "for this address of Miss Burroughs and as a race we should thank God for her life." Y.W.C.A. Notes The annual meeting of the X At the beginning of her address Miss Burroughs congratulated Dr. Brown and members of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church upon their splendid achievement in the erection of the new church. "It is a solemn declarations to the world, especially to New York and Harlem," she said, "that you have been so proud. The world has permanently settled. You know the one falling of our race is that appearance of temporariness; we always seem unsettled, ready to move. This church will stand as a memorial to coming generations as your contribution to the furtherance of Christianity. "It is something to be proud of and worth while gettingReligion in," continued Miss. Burroughs, amid rears of daughter. "I am so the sheer greatness of churches. All they can give is a dirty, greasy religion, which isn't very satisfying." Then more seriously she continued: "Have a place for the children. Stop putting them in the basement. I never could understand why churches put children in the basement. They need the brightest, sunniest place possible. But we put them downstairs and think they should be contented. But they do not it and who else should them for comfort out of the dark basement with the gospel blues. "Why are our youth incorrigible? Why the seeming neglect of the parents? The church is not doing her full duty. She should care for the physical and social side of the community as well as the spiritual. She should teach the youth square play, fairness and all qualities which tend to make for Christian manhood through recreation. Teach the children now to play and then teach them to understand the rewards of children living in a most deplorable environment and when shocking acts of immorality are disclosed. we blame the mothers. That is most unfair. These mothers go to work every day, come home at night tired and do another day's work at night. She is the broadwinner of the home usually.

"Prior to the investigation of these British scientists, an extensive research into the same subject had been conducted in France. "Armand Gautler, internationally eminent, had explored the entire field of nutrition, inspiring numerous other French scientists to undertake work of similar nature. Curiously enough, all of them whether working in England, Scotland or France, arrived at the same conclusion. 'Man,' they declared; 'has lost the instinct of nourishing himself.'

Play Being Presented by Broadway Producer Said to Be Disgrace to Stage Robert Coleman, Writing in the Mirror, says That Latest Belasco Piece Is a Production Based on Color and the Baser Passions, Which Should Be Resented by Self-Respecting Colored People Here in Greater New York. We had hoped that some of the colored papers, habitat Philadelphia, would make it their business to cover the much talked of play by Mr. David Belasco called "Lulu Belle," but in this instance the Quakers lived up to certain appellations hung upon their fair city and we had to wait for an opinion from quarters which we naturally expect to be prejudiced. However, it is good to note that such a man like Robert Coleman, writing for the New York Mirror, had an opportunity of witnessing the show while it was being tried on the er—er—er, well, you know the term they used in the old days when certain towns were selected for tryouts of shows before they made their appearance here. Before this new production made its appearance we had advance information that Nogrews would not had it with any over-abundance of joy, and now that we have first hand information on it we know that the brother is going to use a great deal of space speaking Miss Lulu. Take particular note that Mr. Coleman is telling us that he had the information that they went to the cabarets for their characters, so don't get sore and wonder what the "intelligent" is contributing by mixing with the long haired men and short haired women of Greenwich Village. Said Mr. Coleman: I am a character. I am a unique person. I am one of the very few first fighters who saw the premiere of "Belle Bele" David Bellecous's brief exhibition of miscognition of its worst, in Philadelphia, at the Strand St. Theatre, without being booked. I was disinstilled. I was saddened. I shuddered when I thought that the genius who had given us such whole-some, artistic masterpieces as "The Return of Peter Prism" or "The Girl of the Golden West" had turned his distinguished attention to the production of such novel as "Lulu Belle." Kiki With Dark Skin. Loom is a colored Kikli. Lasciative is responsible for shadow, she must include the necessity the satisfaction of desires. She has been blind to Cinnamon, because she suffers death on a penalty for her previous offenses. How Merimes will love that. No, she is Kikli with a reticent skin. Bassed sheildoo and Charles Moss that allow her to be choked to death by a tilted lower for the position that Kikli was compelled to disguise that her sins had been the impersonation. Death in it is a sap thrown to the airers to appraise their status as the portrayal of gross intolerance generalism on the stage. Kikli贝尔 should arouse the imagination of the colored theatre stars of New York. They have been strung to entitle them to self-identity. White or black would be a disgrace to any I was a single day for the col- lege people, when she was given a birth certificate. Not for Florence. and that Mr. Indiese sought the Mills to play the title of the referee the honor. Her reception was dignified infrastructu- tion to the gliding of the script which lived with such clever verbal tactics. "Give me my business negligee." She probably became indigent and called upon to be the recipient of such brilliant wooding as "Any it lovely. Do it for a long time. Do it again." Lester Ullrich is evidently not adept at being called "A little chocolate coated Aphrodite." for receiving that title she goes for a dance that would open the eye of the Minsky Brothers. Extremes in Woosers. Miss Ullrich has no objections to submitting to the wooling of a four-mouthed colored prize fighter; she is equally at home in the embrace of a white French nobleman. Both characters are taken by white access to a sartiree to convention. This prize fighter is supposed to have been suggested to the author by Jack Johnson. How Jack should respond this distorted picture of himself. We would if we were in his place. And the dead are called upon to offer gratification for this aphrodisiac extravaganza. The late Baron Wilkinson is reported to be represented in the play in the person of a colored cabaret proprietor who is killed by an enemy. The Renaissance Theatre That the Renaissance Theatre has become one of the most popular picture houses in Harlem was demonstrated by the record breaking attendance for the entire month of January, when the theatre celebrated its fifth anniversary. As the result of an invitation call January-born to be the guests THEATRES, DANCES, ENTERTAINMENTS, Etc. Belasco's New Play Not so Good, Says Critic of the Renaissance during the anniversary month of January, 150 passes were issued and that many people were the guests of the theatre during the past month. The innovation of presenting a high class artist like Miss Olive Hopkins was also highly appreciated. Miss Hopkins sang for one week at each of the evening programs and her work was hugely enjoyed. The management plans to continue these high class attractions at various intervals. Thursday and Friday, February 4 and 5. Lon Chaney in "The Unholy Three" will be the feature picture at the Renaissance. This is one of that artist's greatest achievements and is one of the screen's best works. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, February 6, 7 and 8, the attraction will be Mary Pickford in "Little Annie Rooney." This is the famous star's latest picture and has pleased every movie fan who has ever seen it. Called one of the most exquisite stories ever screened, "Little Annie Rooney" is a picture that will linger long in the memory of the old, as well as the young who see it. The Douglas Theatre Few directors can top each picture with a better one, but this can truthfully be said about Howard Hinton Holley, whose production of "His Secretary" is the attraction at the New Douglas theatre. Hinton seems to have his finger on the pulse of the public, for he has never made a flop. His outstanding successes of the last year or two have been "So This is Marriage" and "An Exchange of Wives" but "His Secretary" is much better than either of these. His direction is well high perfect for this type of story. He has taken an inconsequently yarn, a variation of the Cinderella theme, and made one of the most engaging comedies of the year. The director points are never driven home with sledge hammer like blows, but with a subtlety that would be a credit to a Von Stroheim or a Lubschs. "His Secretary" presents Norma Shearer in a new light. The lovely Norma plays the part of a homely stenographer in the early reels of the story, and what a performance she gives. She has disdarded all her beauty, grace, and attractiveness under a makeup that would certainly frighten any man away, no matter how much he admired her intellect; she is, as an introductory title says, "a stenographer only." The Lincoln Theatre "Stage Struck," an Allan Dwan production for Paramount starring Gloria Swanson at the Lincoln Theatre on Thursday next, is unique in that the first and final sequences are done in natural colors, the color being used to suggest the periods of happiness in the life of the horrone. "Stage Struck" is the story of a draft little waitress in an Ohio river town who determines to become an actress because the boy who fries the wheaten cakes in the restaurant likes acetoses. She makes her debut on an Ohio River show boat, a locale seldom if ever used in pictures before. To take these show boat scenes, Miss Swanson, Mr. Dwan and a company of 100 journeyed to New Martinsville, W. Vn., and remained there two weeks. LAME BACK IF YOUR GLANDS ARE WEAK YOU SUFFER FROM A LAME BACK OMIN INFUSES STRENGTH NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 3. 1926 About Things Theatrical In spite of the conditions existing among the races here in the United States, we feel we can say without fear of intelligent contradiction that we are not over-sensitive on the subject. Of course, it would be asking too much to expect us to feel satisfied when news comes to us of some inoffending brother in the South (Dear Old Dixie) being lynched. True, we do not even at such times get on the housetops and shout, but we curse those responsible for the committing of such crimes with all the fervor at our command. And the only outburst coming from us is the questioning of the multitude aent that mythical thing called Democracy, which, I am told, thousands of black men fought for in France and to which thousands of black women contributed their share. Therefore, while we do not hope to arrest the attention of the intellectuals, we do feel that we are justified in going to the next paragraph with a question in re the white theatrical producers and us. Why is it that whenever a so-called broad-minded big white man of the theatre gets ready to present something wherein we are asked to take a part nine times out of ten it is along the lines of such plays as the ill-fated "Goat Alley?" The moment we got the low down on this abortion called "Lulu Belle" we suspected something wrong and played fair with our readers, only to find that we did not castigate the play enough. America suffers because of this damnable race prejudice, which not only keeps back the bill billets of the South, but has its far-reaching effect right here in the North, where we enjoy a greater meed of freedom. For years Europe has asked America for "the great American drama," and America, trying hard but groping in the dark, has failed to present such a thing simply because of the rear which prevents those of the theatre from "casting down their buckets" right where they are and bringing forth this real dream of American life. I am bold enough to venture the opinion that no great drama will be written about these United States until such time as the Negro is considered. Go to extremes if you like and you will find that we have the very things which will go to make up the play that will be accepted by the people of the old world as a true artistic contribution from the Americans. We have in this race of ours all the pathos necessary; then again we have the comedy. Savants have already told us that the only music enaminating from this broad land comes from us. What more fascinating and heroic drama could be written than the life of Frederick Douglas. If the white American is us wily as he thinks the very things which we enaminate foundation to play before the other peoples of the world that we enjoy greater freedom than be told by those of us deploring a state of affairs which keeps us as the "man farther down." To our way of thinking, the journey made by the late Frederick Douglas from slavery to the marshalship of the District of Columbia was greater than that made by Abraham Lincoln from the log cabin to the presidency of the country. It is doubtful if Lincoln would have reached the goal of his ambitions did he have to surmount the obstacles over which Douglas climbed. We have read with a great deal of satisfaction the writings of many ambassadors' autobiographies and the work which they did as representatives of this country to the courts of Europe, but few of them held such distinction as the word of Frederick Douglas as Minister to United States. Did he have to walk gone down the ages as one of America's greatest statesmen. The long line that have graced the Court of St. James and other European courts as representatives of the United States cannot produce a greater mind than that of Douglas. We are not at all averse to have the truth about us being told, whether on the stage, the movies or in book form, but why in all this seeking for things. Negrold must the white brother ALWAYS go to the cabarets for his characters! Is there nothing of the heroic in our lives that would carry just as strong an appeal as an artistic production? We are prone to believe that the white brother is just as cowardly as we can be where we are concerned. It reminds us of our early days, and walks through certain sections of this same city, and terms of idleness and indifference to us. At such times we always took particular note that the individual of the opposite race always made certain of his safety with the support of three or four of his kind. The Negro is so close to the white man in America he has to be considered when he gets ready to write the "great American drama." This thing of beating about the bush with "Lulu Belle" and others of its kind savors of that disgusting race prejudice which will not allow the white man to rise to great artistic heights by producing something with us in it worth while. Negroes have reached great heights in America, and the story of their struggles in attaining those heights should carry more appeal than the right for any white boy, that opportunity to reach the top, but the right for the other. That must traverse is much harder. By my faith I sometimes wonder how many of those white boys who have attained prominence would have reached their goal did they have the burden of color to carry! In with all the respect to Mr. Belasco, we believe he has been taken in. Then too, it is quite a sham to us to try to make us believe that no colored man could have taken his place beside Miss Ulric to play the hero. Shinez! We are willing to wager that Andrew Bishop would be the gentleman playing the part look like about three cents in Chinese money to escort way. Then too, they need not have explained that Andrew belongs to this race, given that designation of the white man, for the edification of those desired by giving a pretty good idea of Mr. Belasco's latest presentation we are today reproducing on this page the opinion voiced by Robert Coleman in the "Daily Mirror" last Friday. We do not know how true it is, but rumor has it that Miss Annio Wolter, who has been working faithfully for a community theatre among Negroes, had much to do with the initial plans of securing the theatre. We have heard that Miss Wolter sought to bring forth some of the amateurs she has seen, but none of them could measure up to the standard and the result of the colored performers who made good in the days of the drama around here failed to receive any consideration. It is also said that the remuneration offered to many experienced performers fell far short of what would have been given did these people enjoy the opportunity of speaking with Mr. Belasco PERSONALLY. We are always the woodpile, somehow or other, when benefactors of the opposite ratio presume to represent us. They always believe we should not receive the same money as the white man for the same kind of work. Giving to Broadway in the drama, then, is not as fascinating for the colored artist as the white, for, regardless of what heights we might have attained, when it comes to making the pilgrimage we are forced to accept subordinate roles. Miss Elena Preyer reached great heights when she was among us in the past, but although we have religiously scanned the room, still telling Belle, we have yet to find the names of any of our people in the show. Well, we can console ourselves with the thought that we have to stoop to凑合 and if appearing in subordinate roles in Mr. Belasco's show is going to lead to something better, then we don't mind the white lady taking the part of a colored girl when there are colored girls as talented as she is that can portray those things which can only come from colored people. Also, the male roles which had to be taken, because colored men must not get too near to white ladies—IN THE DRAMA. Robert Levy, who successfully operated the Lafayette Theatre, presenting some of the finest dramas, always had confidence in the ability of the Negro to do anything which the white man did. If he the opportunity, Mr. Levy belongs to that long line of Jews who have contributed their share towards our progress. Harlem will never cease to regret the passing of Robert Levy from the Lafayette Theatre. Mr. Levy was also very much interested in our charities. When he finally presented itself he not only turned over his theatre to us, but personalised for the success of anything to be staged at his theatre. We realise that to say the same thing of Mr. Lester A. Walton, whose work at the same theatre will be better appreciated by the intelligent members of the race with the passing of time. --- We are not at all averse to have the partner on the stage, the movies or in being for things. Negrold must the white abarets for his characters! is there not that would carry just as strong an appear. We are prone to believe that the white blue can be where we are concerned.

It is possible would be hurled at a long particular note that the individual made certain of his safety with the support The Negro is so close to the white in considered when they get ready to write this thing of beating about the hush with " and savors of that disgusting race prejudicating life.

CORINALDI JEWELER 2394 Seventh Ave., Nr. 140th St. There's Nothing New in This, Folks, for They Are Overdoing It Every Day on the Stage Wherein Is Shown How the Blackface Comedian Talks Like He Thinks Colored People Should Talk and He Is Shown His Fault Jay C. Flippen, the easy-going blackface comic who plays the part of Genesis in "Hello Lola," the musical comedy based on Booth Tarkington's "Seventeen," at the Eltinge Theatre, tells an interesting story about overdoing one's dialect, more particularly the Negro dialect, while on the stage. It appears that when he made his debut in New York as a blackface vaudevillian about four years ago the manager of the house where Flippen was playing came into his dressing room after the first performance and told him: "My dear child, you never heard a Negro talk like that. You must improve your dialect right away. If you don't, you'll be certain to kill your act." Coming from Arkansas, where they drawl in speech, and having played all through the South, but still being a young man, Flippen insisted that the manager didn't know what he was talking about. So the manager went on to show Flippen how wrong he was by taking a few sentences from the latter's monologue and repeating them different ways. First, he showed him how he thought Flippen said it. Then the Nogro backstage doorman was called over and asked to say the lines. And then two other actors, who had been reared in New York (they weren't blackface entertainers), were asked to interpret what the spoken lines meant. In conclusion, says Flippen, it was plainly seen that he was stressing the Nogro dialect, elongating the vowels and otherwise overdoing his speeches, much like a New Yorker, or a Yankee, going to Florida or the Carolinas for the first time and there trying to talk southern. Custom has proved that most of them overdo it. Not quite satisfied, however, that the manager know yet what he was talking about, Filippen took turns at watching such famous blackface entertainers as Al Jolson and Eddie Cantor. Surely these were good examples to study. He observed that they spoke good American with the slightest intonation of Negro dialect—or just enough to stay within the character.

He Lauds Miss Ulric David Belasco last night presented "Lulu Belle," a new play by Edward Shelvin and Charles MacArthur, at the Broad Street Theatre for the first time on any stage. Lenore Ulric, in the role, was supported by a cast of 123, mostly Negroes. The play is in four parts, most of the scenes for which are laid in the Harlem district of New York. The story deals chiefly with the love conquests of Lulu Belle. In the final scene retribution comes and she is the victim of a discarded lover, who chokes her to death. The first scene shows the eldwalks of "San Juan Hill" and the tenemента ooze colored folk at every door and window while the street is crowded with a wedding throng. There Lulu "vampat" her reluctant victim, a married man, and the act ends as he is hurrying off with her to her lodgings. The second act shows the pair at home. Her lover, George Randall, struggles but he cannot leave her. Then follows a cabaret scene, in which she discards Randall for a Negro prize fighter.. Randall, in jealous rage, stabs his rival and serves a term in prison. Five years later he goes to Paris and, seeking out the woman who flaunted him, brings her selfish and headless life to an end. At the end of the third act Mr. Belasco, in response to great applause, appeared on the stage with Miss Ulric. He asserted that it was the finest work he had ever seen her do. says, "which the manager was trying to bring out, and have heartily agreed with him over since. An English friend of mine once had a hearty laugh when I took him to an American play about English drawing room life. It occurred to my friend, who is an instructor at Eton, that the American-Englishman was stressing the London brogue with such overemphasis that he naturally provoked one who know better to laughter." It is perhaps not amiss to include here that not so long ago one of our prominent American female stars, while attempting to impersonate an exotic princess, was criticized by George Jean Nathan in that critic's individual manner as one "who spoke like a heroine out of the pages of a starring, startling, sensational fiction story." So the "Hallo Lola" comedian's experience is applicable not only to his own Negro dialect but to the speech of the stage Englishman, the Fronchman, the Yankee and for the speech of all other nations, including the Scandinavian.—Exchanga.

It gives the little William Fox star a great opportunity to display her screen talents. With John Roche as her leading man, Miss Mason rises from her natural whimsical charm to a tremendous dramatic climax filled with a power it is hard to believe could be possessed by such a little actress. with Miss Mason, displays a dramatic understanding that is nothing less than remarkable for a child of his years.

Others in the supporting cast The story is that of a girl, accused wrongly of murder, who descends from high social position to that of nursemaid. Through her love for a child she places herself in a compromising position with the lover of her mistress. Herbert Wyckoff, the man she really loves, appears in time to prevent her sacrifice, and the end is happy.

We fell in line with Mr. Clarke and published his letter without any comment. But last Saturday night's game at the Orange, N. J., armory has changed things all around and today the colored basketball players under Robert Douglas are now wearing the roga of world's champions. To those who perhaps entertained the idea that the victory of the Renaissance Five over the Celtics at the Renaissance Casino some months back savored of a fluke, we politely submit the score of the Celtic-Renaissance game in Orange on Saturday night. Renaissance 32, Celtics 28. IX Playing on one of the most spacious courts in the country, before one of the finest gatherings of basketball fans that over assembled at the armory in which have been staged some of the biggest events among the colored people of New Jersey, the Renaissoance Five staged a charge from the rear that will go down in the annals of basketball as one of the grandest charges ever made against the enemy. When the first half started things looked mighty bad for the colored boys, for the Celtics had jumped into the lead and after the first ten minutes of play the white players led by the comfortable margin of 8, while Renaissance brought up the rear with 0. It was the contention of even those dyed-in-the-woolens who have followed the fortunes of the Douglas men that after such a showing the game would be all sewed up by the Celtics and a walk-over the result of the contest. They reckoned without the playing powers of Messrs. Fial, Jenkins, Slucum, Mayers and Ricks. Pappy Ricks was in his old home town and he was going to show the folks the kind of basketball he has been playing all winter. Pappy caged them from right and left and New Jersey almost declared a holiday when he joined his teammates in that burst of speed of which they are still talking. They tell me that Pappy was not in best of health, which hit of news should be received with a great deal of thanks by the Furey men. All through the first half the teams kept the people in a constant uproar. With Renalssance coming from behind in a game that appeared lost even those out to see them lose could not restrain themselves at the brand of basketball displayed by the colored players. They slammed the Celtics all around and after they had amassed a comfortable margin the whistle ending this period blew and the score read 22-19 favor of the Douglas men. The second half again gave cause for the next attempt to raise the roof by the cheering crowd. Celtics came out and in a desperate drive started to overhaul the Renaissance and by a brilliant burst of shooting soon had the score tied. It was nip and tuck throughout. It was one of those hard fought battles that make one forget all else. But in the last few minutes of play New Jersey saw the reason for these colored basketball players to wear the toga of champions, for in quick succession they stabbed quick and true and as the final whistle blew pandemonium broke when the colored lads left the court victors by the score of 32-28. Returning to the home court on Sunday night the local team faced the famous Kingston Five, and MORRIS & SON PIANOS Players and Baby Grands QUALITY (at the right price) pays in the end— a Morris & Son Piano is built to last a life-time.

Easy Terms RENAISSANCE WINS WORLD'S TITLE Superior Boys Extract Sting of N.J. Mosquitoes here again suffered by being behind. Kingston went so far as to leave the court victors in the first half by a 17-14 score. Excitement was rife all through the second half, for Renalssance tied the score repeatedly only to be overhauled by the hard going Kingstons who were bent on victory. Again with a few minutes to go Renalssance asserted herself and with quick stabs to the basket she was returned winner by a 33-34 score. We do not blame Cumberland Dosey and his Locend bunch for side stepping the New Yorkers this season more than at any other time. Any time a team can continue to bowl over such teams as Celtics, Kingstons and a host of others in one season, it is a team to be feared. The coming Sunday night New Yorkers will get a chance to see the first white team trying to take back the world's championship to the white race when the Original Crescents come to the Renaissance Casino to meet the Douglas men. It is going to be another one of those hard court battles in which one team will be fighting to protect honors recently won, while the other will be seeking those same honors as so as to assume a place in the basketball spotlight. Great work, boys! Varsity Teams of Howard and Lincoln to Battle Game Will Be Staged at the Well - Known Orange Armory on Monday Evening. Feb. 22 The defeat of the famous Celtics right before their own eyes has whetted the appetite of the New Jersey fans for good basketball games. Of course we say this adversely as Jersey in the past gave us a brand of ball that could not be surpassed, but we had in mind the struggle of the game in recent years in the land of the world famed mosquito. Be this as it may, on the night of February 22. New Jersey, joined by friends from Greater New York, will stage an immense celebration at the armory when the varsity teams of Howard and Lincoln universities meet to settle the question of supremacy between these colleges on the basketball court. The game is being presented by the Howard Alumni Club, which is made up of some of the most prominent men in New Jersey. Maron Smith and his versatile orchestra will furnish the music for the dance which will have full sway at the conclusion of the game. There will also be dancing before and between the halves of the game. The men making up the committee to stage the game are leaving no stone unturned in trying to make the affair one of the biggest in many years. They should not have any trouble in bringing the night to a most successful finish as the state across the river is noted for some of the most charming young ladies extant and they will all be out, which, we should incidentally remark, will mean that "where they go so will we follow." At the Salem Bouts A crashing left to the jaw scored a knockout for "Black Bill" against Kid Donslid at the boxing exhibition Saturday evening in the gymnasium of the Salem Crescent Athletic Club. In the entire six houts there were besides the knockout four wins by decisions and one draw. Black Bill won his match in 3 minutes and 10 seconds of fighting. The other results were Joe Brown victor over Malcolm David; Rube Victor, alias "Kid Vic," over Francis Quinonez; Karl Fiver over Eddie Batson; Willie Powell over Kid Rash and a draw between George Stewart and Charlie Adams. The exhibition was a part of the program of monthly activities of the Orange and Black club, "Pete" White, former crack spinner of Stuyvesant High School and of Salem Crescent fame, is the gym director and trainer.

The Troy quintette, who have held the army championship of New York State for the past two years, are coming to Harlem fully confident of their ability to take the locals into camp. They have beaten practically all of the big-time up-state professional teams and are classed with the best in the game. Sergt. Marshall, manager of the 369th, has been working his charges into tip-top condition and hopes for their continuing their good work of late, in which they have scored 201 points in their last four games.

Truly, this sports epic is worthy of a more skilled pen than mine, but with such as I possess I cannot praise these teams too highly. It was during the last ten minutes of this half that the Brooklyn team showed the reason why they are called the "Lightning 5" for after the lead had been shifted to the Jersey team at 26-25, they closed the game with a rush, scoring ten points to Jersey's one, winning 36-27. With the "Soups" stepping on the gas, old "Ike" Jackson came into his own. Ike had a cheering squad that was "just too bad," "Booola, Boool, Who! we foola? The Jersey team, Jersey team, ha! ha! ha!" The Brooklynites uncovered a new marvel at center in William Bartlett, a youngster who has just broken in with the team. And a Dr. J. B. Parks, Pres. Dr. S. E. Burke, Soci.

Standing about 6 ft. 3 he is a power on the offense and possessing a good eye he shot devastation into the Jersey hopes with his mid-court finging' and intercepting of passes. The start was slow. The Jersey lads draw first blood when "Dick" Seay sprinted down court and registered beneath the cage. The Jersey center then found the ring from the free-throw line, Lewis leading 3-0. For Superior "will Stevens and "Sandy" Herndon both had difficulty netting the bull, Steve missing two and Sandy about four, all sure shots. Sandy however broke the finx with a point from the foul line and when Bartlett over-shot the basket, Niles tapped it in, tying the count, Steve, Sandy, and Edwards then got away for a basket each giving the Lightning Five a six point lead which the Jersey team reduced to a lone point as the half ended, 15:14. The second half was fast, very fast. Both teams passing and cutting rapidly. They were both out to clinch the game now. After five minutes of play Carter went out via the personal foul route, Sandy playing to him for the fourth. "Happy" Brown replaced for Jersey. The Jersey team came strong, despite the shooting of Herndon, Bartlett and Edwards, and assumed the lead at 20-19, with Seay and Center Gaynor leading the attack. Stevens however uncovered one of his bag of many tricks, caging a nifty overhead throw that brought the crowd to their feet. This placed the "Soups" one point ahead at 27-26. Thompson was then sent in for Stevens and kept Seay from scoring while the Soups ran wild with four baskets and a foul. 36-27.

De Witt Clinton Athletes Continue to the Fore Youngsters Have for Years Upheld Athletic Prowess of Well-Known School in Competition To those of us who have followed the activities of our younger generation in athletics, Do Witt Clinton has always held a certain fascination on account of the many colored boys who have always upheld the athletic prowess of the school in competition. There are also many graduates from the same school who in later days continued to enjoy the spotlight of athletic fame, the foundation of which was laid at De Witt Clinton. Recently the Daily News said that many of the most famous colored schoolboy athletes of New York City have been, and still are, De Witt Clinton representatives. Carlton Innes and Austin Morgan are two colored lads this season, for example, who are carrying the red and black to triumphs in athletic competition. Carlton Innes has been a member of the track team for two seasons. He runs in the hundred yard sprint, and has been pressing Arno Reuter, the P. S. A. L. champion, every time the pair have met. At the De La Salle meet, in fact, Innes came within a stride of outstepping the Newtown flyer. Austin Morgan is playing at forward with the basketball team that is sweeping on toward its second city title. Morgan is big enough to take the place of Gregory at center when the latter isn't included in the lineup. Austin is a powerful, aggressive forward, who possesses great skill in shooting baskets. Bill Cohen is Morgan's running mate at forward. It was Cohen's absence from the lineup that was responsible in part for Bryant's recent 38 to 28 victory over Clinton. It was a second string five, however, that the Long Island City quintet vanquished, Gregory and Wolf also resting. Buccaneers Stage Great Rally to Defeat Panthers ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Jan. 24. - Staging a great rally in the second half, the Buccaneers came from behind to nose out the Panthers in the final second of play 25-24. Showing a bewildering passing game with eagle eyes for the net, the Panthers were leading at half time 17-3. The second half saw a different set of Buccaneers, grim faced, alert, determined, they outsped, outpassed and outshot their opponents. With Pendleton and Green as the main cogs on the offense and defense, and given able assistance by Fells, Knox and Miller, the Bucs crept up until the final second of play; on a pass from Miller, Raymond Green ducked Hep Hubbard, scoring the final goal that decided the game. Fulchen, Bethards and Hubbard starred for the Panthers, but the big lead and overconfidence caused their downfall. Buccaneers—25: Panthers—24. Miller . . . Forward . . . Hubbard Howard . . .

The colored fans disappointed last Saturday night because of the failure of Willie Mukel to go in against the opponent picked for him will turn out in full force to see Black Bill and Al Brown strutting their stuff. While these two colored fighters have been winning by the decision route, there's always a chance that Brown will again find that deadly right which has sent so many of his opponents in the early days of his appearance at the Commonwealth to dreamland. Black Bill has always made the going extremely hard for whomever he meets at the Commonwealth, and it has come to us that he is in the best of condition and ready to put up the battle of his career against Wexler who has been coming along nicely.

They have chosen the New Madison Square Garden, at 50th street and 8th avenue, which is the largest and finest sporting arena in the world, for this occasion. The sale of tickets up to this writing exceed $10,000; and at the very low fee of $1.25 per seat, it really looks as if this would be the coming effort of all "Ballidom." Thousands of "Ball-a-grams" are being distributed throughout the five boroughs and also nearby cities. Some of the lodges in other cities have arranged to attend in a body and to be accompanied with their bands. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson and Grand Exalted Daughter, Mrs. Laura E.

Urban League Ladies' Auxiliary at Capitol Over Five Hundred Attend Entertainment at Lenox Avenue Cabaret Last Wednesday Night The Ladies' Auxiliary of the New York Urban League staged a benefit for the building fund of the organization at the Capitol Palace Club on Lenox avenue last Wednesday night which was attended by over five hundred of our people. The affair was a success from every angle. Johnny Powell, owner of the club, donated the services of four entertainers along with the place and also his popular orchestra. Among the large number turning out were many well known Harlemites and others from the adjacent towns. The splendid work being done by the New York Urban League of which James H. Hubert is secretary is apparently fully appreciated by the people of the community as these affairs given by the Ladies' Auxiliary, of which Mrs. Parks is president, always bring out a fine gathering. The evening at the Capitol was enjoyably spent and the various features offered held the crowd until the early morning hours. We understand that dancing was also indulged in to the satisfying strains from an orchestra which has been one of the attractions of the Capitol. McKinley Downs Signs With Brooklyn Giants J. B. Johnson of the Brooklyn Cuban Giants states that he has signed McKinley Downs, better known as "Bunny" Downs, to hold down the Keystone sack this year for his club. After the Wilmington club disbanded last year Downs finished the season with the Harrisburg Giants. Downs came east from St. Louis in 1917 and joined the Atlantic City Bacharach Giants, at that time under the management of Tom Jackson. Later he joined Ed Bolda's Hilldale club, where he proved to be one of the greatest and smartest intelfelders ever developed. Downs was born at Chattanooga, Tenn., and started his playing career at Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga., where he was discovered by the late C. I. Taylor, who at that time was the owner of the A. B. C. Club at Indianapolis, Ind. Executive Committee of C.I.A.A. Meet at Hampton HAMPTON, Va., Feb. 1.—The executive committee of the C. I. A. A. met at Petersburg Saturday, Jan. 23, to work out the program for the coming year. Several new departures were introduced which it is thought will aid in the development of athletics in the institutions. The most important progressive step was the making out of the 1926 football schedule and the assigning of officials for all the games for the year. This will enable officials to know where they are to serve and prevent last-minute calls or attempts to decide upon them which oftimes proved unsatisfactory. The Association is adopting a new method of selecting the all-star teams for 1926. Instead of having the coaches submit their selections a committee of five consisting of two sport writers and three other men to serve as officials will be asked to pick the all-star team for 1926, thus relieving the coaches. The men asked to serve on this committee are: J. Wiles Johnson, of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, chairman; Mr. Garland Markay of the Afro-American, Baltimore; Mr. L. U. Gibson, Baltimore; Dr. F. S. Coppage, Norfolk, and Mr. R. E. Clement of Livingston College. The Association accepts the offer of Dr. James B. Darden of Petersburg, Va., to give a trophy to the most valuable player to his team in 1926. Mr. Dardon's letter reads as follows: Potersburg, Va. January 15, 1926. Mr. Thomas L. Puryear, President C. I. A. A. Etrick, Vn. My Dear Mr. Puryear: As you doubtless know I am thoroughly interested in athletics. This is especially true of football. I am of the opinion that the work being done by the Colored SEVER Intercollegiate Athletic Association stands head and shoulders above anything of its kind being done in the country for our racial group. It is my conviction that the athletes representing the various institutions of the Association should be encouraged to put forth their very best efforts in a conscientious endeavor to develop themselves to the highest possible degree. To stimulate this kind of endeavor I desire to offer in competition a trophy. This trophy is to be awarded to the football player voted the most valuable to his team. The trophy is to become the personal property of the player to whom it is awarded by the committee appointed by the C. I. A. A. It seems to me that in some such way as I have here indicated we will get better results from our athletes. You will please advise me if the C. I. A. A. approves this suggestion. Another token to be awarded will be the gold baseball given by A. G. Spalting fires; to the C. I. A. A. team winning the 1926 baseball championship. The Association sanctioned the fifth annual track and field meet to be held at Hampton Institute on May 15, 1926. Efforts will be made to make this the biggest meet yet held under the auspices of the Association. Athenians Win Two More On Friday evening the Baltimore Athenians defeated the HiY club of Columbus, O. 20 to 17. The all round fine playing of the winners featured this contest. Baskerville and Brown led in the scoring. Keyes played well for Columbus. Saturday night found the Athenians opposing the Marathons in Dayton, O. This proved to be the hardest game on the trip but was won 30 to 24. The Marathons had at half time 15-13, but could not stand the pace in the final period. Baskerville and Poles led the offense, while Verney and Wheatley continued to make it hard for the opposition. Jackson and Sheppard played finely for Marathons. Negroes and Jews Combine to Serve Interests of Home Buyers This Spring Meeting Held at Frederick Douglas Realty Corporation Offices Gives Promise of Creating Greater Interest Among Home Buyers in the Fast Growing Suburban Town of Jamaica When the Drive Starts in March Month. That the campaign conducted by this paper is bearing fruit can be seen in the invitation to the writer to one of the most important meetings held in Jamaica. L. I., last Sunday afternoon, when the Milla-Cohn Building Corporation and the Frederick Douglas Realty Corporation got together at the offices of the latter concern on Washington street The attitude of the Milla-Cohn company was clarified when Messrs. Milla and Cohn denied the implication that they were to be represented by agents holding exclusive right to dispose of the houses they are building. These gentlemen invited all colored real estate men to dispose of their property, assuring those present that commissions allowed by law would be paid in full without any "cut" to certain individuals many believed exclusively represented the corporation.

The meeting also brought out many promising points that would be of great benefit to colored people, the outstanding being the suggestion of forming a corporation to deal in second mortgages. Second mortgages on colored property are hard to place, and if there are enough colored men to get together and take up this part of the real estate it would open up one of the safest channels to investment ever presented to members of the race. It is the opinion of J. R. Lee, president of the Frederick Douglas company, that this would be one of the most moves made in recent days and an attempt will make in the future to ask colored men and to provide the example of the Low and form a company which will give them not only an opportunity of safe investment, but a form of protection which at the present time does not exist. With second mortgages on colored property enjoying a field for placement, colored people would be enabled to purchase property at much lower rates than their former status is due to the great promise to members of the race it is the intention of the latter to go deeper into it for the benefit of those among us seeking to invest in a field which would give other members of the race an opportunity to branch out and take advantage of the rising position in the business world. Moses Millo and Cohn, in speaking of the colored men, pointed with pride to their relations with our people which have been of the best and most satisfactory ever since they have entered on a large scale of building houses to be occupied by colored people. Their move in this direction is because of their intentions to operate on an even larger scale. From Mr. Dillis we have it that negotiations are right now being engaged in which will if successfully carried through, give them control of a most desirable piece of property where they intend to erect hundreds of homes with street walls laid up to the sky in the development in Jackson Heights, Richmond Hill and other Long Island towns. By the latter part of March, when the intensive drive for homes is inaugurated by colored people, colored real estate agents will have for disposal at least fifty Milli-Cohn houses which are under course of construction at the present time. Nearing completion are five houses in the city and Washington streets on loss purchased from the well known Canadian Shelton Brooks some months ago. These are also Milli-Cohn ponies. Dr. J. E. Moorland to Present Trophy to Players Dr. Jessie E. Moorland, well known in Young Men's Christian Association work, and Chairman of the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. committee of management, is giving and will present a silver loving cup to the winning Sanders City men playing in the Carlton Avenue Y. C. Sunday School Basketball Tournament. Dr. Moorland, and others as well, feel that the Sunday Tournament which started January 26 is on of the outstanding activities of the season, and will be an event forward to year-end. The interest as shown in the crowd which attended last Tuesday night, indicated that there is a keen but friendly rivalry between various Sunday schools. It is the desire of the Physical Department committee to promote such activities that will bring the younger men and women together in playing and develop those qualities which are essential to manhood. It is felt that the presentation of such a lovely cup will inspire the younger generation and give them something to look forward to in their relationship with the V. M. C. A. and the Sunday School. We are grateful to Dr. Moorland for his wonderful, interest manifested in our attempt to lead the boys of Brooklyn.

Cor. 163d St. Jamaica Broker Hangs Up Another Record by Sale of Homes This Winter William J. Weir Disposed of Eight Houses and Has Removed to Larger Offices Near "L" Station in Jamaica In spite of the snow and sometimes bitter cold which have visited us during the present winter, William J. Weir, well-known colored real estate and insurance broker of Jamaica, L. L., has hung up a most enviable record in the sale of homes to colored people. During the summer and last spring Mr. Weir sold many desirable homes, and one naturally expected that with the coming of cold weather the boom would let up. In the case of Weir it would seem that it is always boom time, for during the months of December and January he disposed of eight houses. To the average colored realty broker in Long Island it would be considered fine business to be able to dispose of at least one house during the cold months, hence when by strict application to business and a true desire to serve the people of his race Mr. Weir can dispose of so many homes. It is more than that he receive the rewards, other than monetary, for efforts which are making it possible to bring more home owners of the race to the thriving town of Jamaica. Mr. Weir is also enjoying the exquisite work of the painter, and, dark, pumber, dealer, who are erecting a number of fine houses for colored people, and when spring rolls around it is natural to expect to find this hustling young broker right up front with the best. Last week the Weir offices were removed from the Merrick town, more spacious and taller, while the street, now numbered as 168th street, not far from the last stop of the elevated road. This location will give prospective home-seekers a better opportunity for reaching the Weir offices as trolley, elevated and railroad stations are at their disposal without the change in location it necessitates which the former offices. Along with the other builders of property to be occupied by colored people, the E. and J. Dorf company will erect a number of substantial homes. These people some age secured one of their tracts of land upon which they will start a business which should be with instantaneous approval by colored purchasers as they are in the lumber business and in a position to put the best material in their homes. No. 32 Getting-Ready for Big Celebration Plans for the coming 23rd annual Lincoln-Douglas celebration of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, I. B. P. Order of Elks of the World, are beginning to reach their final stages, judging by the interest being displayed in Elk croles, in Brooklyn and among the host of Elk friends and admirers. Miller's Casino, Brooklyn's "Million-dollar assembly hall," will hold a capacite crowd for the gala affair on Lincoln's Birthday night. All trolicys to the Williams bridge plaza run direct to Miller's Casino, corner of the building making the hall very accessible from all parts of Brooklyn. It is expected that a large number of prominent Brooklyn officials and grand lodge officials will be among those present.

Bradhurst 0678 Roland Hayes in Third Triumph By MARK WHITMARK. For the third time this season, Roland Hayes gave a recital in Carnegie Hall, Wednesday, by as many people as could crowd within its doors. All available seats and standing room were taken, nearly 60 persons being seated on the stage itself. While Hayes' voice was in fine condition, his selections did not seem as warm as hitherto. Nevertheless, as a concert artist he is in a class almost by himself, and his encore numbers more than made up for whatever was lacking in his scheduled selections. For instance, as he sang, "It was a Lover and His Loss," by Roxer Quilter, and is always a favorite with his audience: "When I Am Laid in Earth," by Purcell, and Massacre's "Magnon." Boehrings's "Ich liebe dich" began the recital with a simplicity of style befitting the little masterpiece of melody, and with a diction that had passed muster in Vienna and Berlin. A group from Brahms continued, by request, the "Botschaat" and Waldeselinsankett. J. W. Frank's "Sel nur still" was smong the German pieces, and Henry Cowell's "Fairy Fountain" among those in English that followed, with various others of Roger Quilter, Sloninsky and Santoquido. Three Negro "spirituals" arranged by J. Rosamond Johnson were presented: "I'm Troubled in Mind," "What Yo Gwine to Do When de Lamp Burn Down?" and "Q Gambler, Git Up Of a Yo Knee," and "I'm Troubled in Mind" by Burleigh. In all of Hayes recitals he shares his laurels with his able accompanist, William Lawrence, who is to Roland Hayes and his art what an appropriate frame is to a great painting. Hayes will conclude his third American tour Sunday afternoon, February 7, when he will appear as soloist with the New York Symphony Orchestra in the New Mecca Temple, located in Fifty-fifth street. Boston Tenor Sings Here Granville Stewart, tenor of Boston, sang a creditable program to a packed house at Macedonia Baptist Church on Thursday evening, January 28. Stewart possesses a good tenor voice and sings with musical understanding. The numbers on his program rendered most creditably were a group of Negro spirituals and Will Marion Cooke's "Exultation." No he was put to great disadvantage because he was not a good speaker, which explains 86% eral changes in the arrangement of his program. Mrs. Jackson and Mr. N. Sales or Macedonia are responsible for bringing this promising young man from the Hub City for recital. The readings by Miss F. Turner were well received, as usual. BANQUET. GIVEN IN HONOR OF COL. HILL A banquet was given in honor of Col. James C. Hill by the Patrick H. Reason Lodge and Glena Household of Ruth at the Lafayette Hall, Friday. J. D. Webb of Patrick Reason Lodge had charge, of the celebration. Col. Hill was escorted by his military staff. Following the speeches that were delivered, there was dancing. The committee that assisted in arranging the affair included George Benta, Alice Peters, James Sharry and William Dowdy. Boy Scout News Remember, fellow Scouts, that Scout Week is February 8 to 14.

Negroes have a place among the pioneers of American history. Africans were the first to visit the shores of America, according to Professor Leo Wiener of Harvard University; for he has found evidences of African influences on this continent prior to the coming of the white men from Europe. Negroes were with the other adventurers in the discovery and exploration of America. It is said that Pietro Alonzo, a Negro, was a pilot of the fleet with which Columbus discovered America. In the discovery of the Pacific Ocean Balboa carried with him Nuflo de Olano, a Negro. In the conquest of Mexico Cortez was accompanied by a Negro, who, on finding in his rations of rice some grains of wheat, planted them as an experiment and thus made himself the pioneer in wheat raising in the Western Hemisphere. Negroes assisted in the exploration of Guatemala and the conquest of Chili, Peru and Venezuela. Estevanico, most noted of all the early Negro explorers, actually led expeditions of the Spaniards in Mexico and Central America and discovered what we now call the States of New Mexico and Arizona. Matthew A. Henson, the last to appear in the role of explorer, was chosen by Commodore Peary to accompany him to the North Pole. Both Commodore Peary and Commodore MacMillan testify that Henson was chosen because of his peculiar ability to grapple with the problems of the Arctic. He was the best builder of stoves; he was the best dog driver; he was the best interpreter. Henson is, therefore, today the only living man who has seen the North Pole.

They were not enslaved but were indentured as servants; for one of the number not only gained his freedom but became later a slaveholder himself, when most Negroes had been gradually debased to the condition of slaves. The Negro has made a distinct contribution as a laborer. He supplied the demand for cheap labor necessitated by the expansion of trade in the commercial revolution.

George Mun- roe, the president, told of the birth and progress of the organization. "The organization," he said, "first took step after step, it then began to trot, and now it is running." R. Roger Melbourne and R. Benjamin Fray, founder of the association, were also speakers. The benevolent association has about 800 members. It was organized in 1817. Mr. Trew was its president for four consecutive terms. The present officers are: George Munroe, President; R. J. Kirpatrick, 1st Vice-President; R. M. Leslie, 2nd Vice-President; J.

The facts presented on this page were compiled by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, of Washington, D. C. Acquaint yourself with these facts and acquaint your children with them. They will do more to combat the idea of "Nordic superiority" and Negro inferiority than anything which could be said or written on the subject. leave to say," they continued, "that in the person of this said Negro centers a brave and gallant soldier." Austin Dabney distinguished himself for bravery in many skirmishes with the British and Tories in Georgia. While fighting under Colonel Clarke he was severely wounded by a bullet, which in passing through his thigh made him a cripple for life. In consideration of his valuable service he received not only a pension from the Federal Government but a tract of land from Georgia. The citizens of that state delighted to honor him throughout his life and mourned the loss when he passed away. Negro soldiers stood out with equal valor in the War of 1812. They fought bravely under Perry and Macdonough. An officer of this war writing of an engagement said: "The name of one of my poor fellows who was killed ought to be registered in the book of fame, and remembered with reverence as long as bravery is considered a virtue. He was a black man by the name of Johnson. . . When America has such tars she has little to fear from the tyrants of the ocean." Negro soldiers came to Andrew Jackson's rescue in the battle, of New Orleans in 1814. In return for that contribution to his splendid victory he said: "I knew that you loved the land of your nativity and that, like ourselves, you had to defend all that is most dear to man. But you surpass my hopes. I have found in you, united to these qualities, that noble enthusiasm which impels to great deeds." In the Civil War the Negro soldier gave a still better account of himself. Of those fighting at Port Hudson one said: "The deeds of heroism performed by these colored men were such as the proudest white men men might emulate." At Fort Wagner the 54th Massachusetts, a Negro Regiment, stood like heroes in the midst of carnage and evoked from their superiors the heartiest thanks for their courage and dash which convinced observers that Negroes cannot be exceeded as soldiers. In the Spanish-American War, Negro bravery furnished one of the most gratifying incidents. Their fighting at Santiago was all but wonderful. "The Negro soldiers showed such excellent discipline, the highest qualities of personal bravery, very superior physical endurance, unfailing good temper and the most generous disposition toward all comrades-in-arms, whether white or black." In the punitive expedition, under General Pershing, in Mexico in 1916 members of the 10th Cavalry and the 14th Infantry distinguished themselves as the heroes of the hour. Referring to one of them a reporter said, "There is not a finer piece of soldierly devotion and heroic comradeship in the history of modern warfare than that of Henry Adair and the black trooper who fought by him at Carrizal." In the World War, Negro troops and officers were praised as courageous men, admirable in their attack. Their bravery and dash won the admiration of observers and the gratitude of France, to the salvation of which they made a distinct and valuable contribution.

No American has ever left a deeper impression on Booker T. Washington. Negroes of this country have given to the world a number of distinguished poets. Of those who have exhibited the thought of the Negro in verse most honorable mention belongs to Jupiter Hammon, of Long Island; Phyllis Wheatley, of Boston; George M. Horton, of North Carolina, and Paul Laurence Dunbar. On the stage the Negro has been well represented by Ira Aldridge, the Shakespearean actor; Robert Cole, the comedian; Egbert Austin Williams in the same role, Charles S. Gilpin and Paul Robeson, of recent fame. In music the Negro can point with pride to the fact that this race has produced the most popular music of modern times, which is evidently the only distinct contribution of America to civilization. Among the stars in the bright galaxy of Negro musicians there have appeared with the inspiration of Samuel Coleridge Taylor, Harry Burleigh, Will Marion Cook, J. Rosamond Johnson, and Nathaniel Dett. For special aptitude in the interpretation of this beautiful music the world is indebted to Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, Madam Marie Selika, Flora Batson, Marian Anderson, and Roland Hayes. Great credit belongs also to such instrumentalists as George Augustus Polgreen Bridgetower, Thomas Greene Bethune, and John William Boone. In painting the Negro has produced successful workers. There have appeared a number of painters of gifts like E. M. Bannister, William Edward Scott and William A. Harper; but from the ranks of the Negro has come the most popular and the most distinguished of all painters of America, Henry O. Tanner. In sculpture the race has been decidedly encouraged by the efforts of Edmonia Lewls, Meta Vaux Warrick, and Mary Howard Jackson. Spokesmen of the Race The Negro has developed eloquent and courageous spokesmen. Gabriel, of Virginia; David Walker, of Massachusetts; Denmark Vesey, of South Carolina, and Nat Turner, of Virginia, advocated the extermination of slavery by the use of force. Nathaniel Paul, John B. Russwurm, J. McCine Smith, Charles Lenox Remond, William Wells Brown, Alexander Crunnell, Henry Highland Garnett, J. W. C. Pennington, Samuel R. Ward, Lunsford Lane, Martin R. Delaney, Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass made the appeal to reason and decidedly contributed to that change in the attitude of Americans which led ultimately to the emancipation of the race. During the reconstruction the Negro gave a good account of himself as a citizen and as a statesman. His participation in the affairs of the government was denounced and opposed from the very beginning, but despite the mire of corruption into which the Negroes were drawn by the white men who profited thereby at the expense of the freedmen, the race decisively demonstrated its capacity for citizenship and its right to all of the honors within the gift of the nation. In the uplift of a race few workers accomplished more that Andrew Bryan, Richard Allen, James Varick, Christopher Rush, Daniel A. Payne, and L. H. Holsey, through the church. The case of an oppressed people has never been more cleverly stated than in the words of J. C. Price, M. C. B. Mason, William Pickens, Kelly Miller, James Weldon Johnson, and W. E. R. DuBois. No American has ever left a deeper impression on education than Booker T. Washington. The Negro in Business The economic progress of the Negro is unprecedented in the history of the world. Starting almost without anything in 1865, the Negro has today to his credit property valued at more than a billion dollars. Most of this wealth is in the form of farm acreage and comfortable homes. The race has made exceptional progress, however, in manufacturing, banking and insurance. As pioneers in developing such businesses among Negroes there stand out pre-eminently such persons as Isaiah T. Montgomery, John Merrick, Mrs. A. E. Malone, Madam C. J. Walker, Samuel W. Rutherford, W. G. Pearson, C. C. Spaulding, Anthony Overton and Jesse Binga. The economic progress of the history of the world. Stain in 1865, the Negro has today more than a billion dollars.

LEWIS Civil Service News FREE CONSULTATION AND EXAMINATION # News of Churches, Fraternities and Organizations St. James' First Pastor Was First Minister to Republic of Liberia Organized in 1880, Presbyterian Body Has Had Many Trials-Coming Into Its Own Under Present Minister The St. James' Presbyterian Church is the spiritual outgrowth of the old Shiloh Presbyterian Church, which was located on West Twenty-sixth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, about the years 1880 and 1881. At that time the Rev. Hylan Carnett was pastor. Rev. Garnett left St. James' Presbyterian Church The spirit of Proebysterianism, however, was still alive. In the breast of many of the faithful members, and they kept the "home free" burning by meeting in the parlor of Dr. and Mrs. William Lively. Dr. Lively was one of the first successful doctor of color in New York. Among some of those faithful members who were responsible for helping to keep this battle Morris, Mr. and Mrs. Hallet Green, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wells, Miss Anna Wells, and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Porter. In 1881 Rev. Pierce Butler Thompson entered Union Theological Seminary. In the Spring of 1833 Rev. Thompson conceived a meritorious church. He first held a Sunday school at 107 West 33rd street, near the present site of Glimbel Brothers' Department Store. The officers of this Sunday school were Rev. Thompson, superintendent; Mr. Brooks, Robinson assistant superintendent; Mr. William Brooks, treasurer, and Miss Jeanneette Cook, secretary. One Sunday after Sunday school Rev. Thompson preached to a congregation numbering fifteen,completed Sunday school children. After these services the Dorcas Mission was organized by those present. This mission continued to grow in spirituality and membership units. When the church organized the Presbyterian Church, elected and installed Rev. Thompson as pastor. In this work Rev. Thompkins gave his untidying efforts and sacrificed his life. The first officers of the St. James Presbyterian Church were: Dr. E. R. P. Roberts, Mr. James E. Carr and M. Douglas Thomas. Rev. E. R. P. Roberts, Thomas the church purchased the site on 51st street, between Eighth and Ninth avenue, and moved into it. At this location the church flourished, under the leadership of Rev. G. Leroy Butler, until 1911, when Rev. W. R. Lawton was sent as "stated supply" until 1914. During Rev. Lawton's regime the 51st street property was sold and the congregation moved to Helleni on 121 and the church to 123 West 123d street until June 1915, when they dedicated their new church at its present location. After the sale of the Slat street property the members voted to declare the pulpit vacated; church services were then conducted under the auspices of the session, invaluable services were rendered that time by the Rev. Richard H. McCormick, then the Rev. Alli visiting and resident ministers. The official business of the church during that period of its rather stormy existence was looked after by Mr. Charles C. Davis and Dr. John R. Hillary. In October 1915, Rev. Frank M. Hatcher who was then stationed at Notley, the vacancy was filled. From 1916 to March of 1925, Dr. Hyder served as pastor for St. James. Again the pulpit was declared meant and again the session took charge of the affairs of the church. Services were held regularly; the Presbytery supplying speakers for first month, after which real pastor from the church clerics in other cities filled the pulpit until the first Sunday in August. During the month of August Dr. 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 the charge to accept service as Minister to Liberia. This was a signal honor, as he was the first colored man to be appointed to such a position. He died while in office. Rev. William Carr succeeded Rev. Garnett at Shiloh. After many struggles and discouragements, both as to finance and membership, the death of Rev. Carr almost brought to a close the activities of the church. William Lloyd Imes gave his services to the church. On October 1 he accepted the call and was installed as pastor. Since that time the church has taken on new life and grown in numbers and spiritually. Rev. Imes can be commanded for his able leadership, and those who JOHN B. HARRIS REV. WILLIAM IMES. worship in St. James will attest to the spirit of true comradeship that exists under his guidance. His instructive sermons have served not only St. James, but the community at large. Those who have seen St. James' progress in the last few months will agree that the church of tomorrow is even now clamoring that she extend her domains. A larger edifice is needed, one that combines all of the latest features of present-day church life a modern building, with panoramic, community and playground, for such ideal surrounding the children of tomorrow can be reared to the precepts and dogmas of true Presbyterianism. Our cry rings out even now, as we are still in the process of into Macedonia and help us! Current Notes Rev. Imes concluded the January series of morning sermons Sunday with the theme, "Conformation or Transformation," based upon Romans 12: 2. He said: "We are not to think of the Christian faith as a moulding power, but we are to experience its joyful and wonderful transforming power." Missionary Society present, at their quarterly service, before the church, Miss Irene Shopard, formerly a missionary to Latin America, in the evening.

By Rev. WILLIAM LLOYD IMES' Pastor of St. James' Presbyterian Church February is a month extraordi- nally full of the birthdays of great men. Washington and Lin- coln are, of course, the most celsi- tate figures to us in America. But may we not pause in sincer- respect and admiration for others, whose greatness, when measured by true worth, is even more than that of the "Father" or the "Savi- tor" of our country? In a lowly valley town of Maryland, in the same year in which Washington was born, 1732, Benjamin Banneker, the mathematician and astronomer, was born a slave. Young Banneker grew to be a most useful man of solid scientific learning and unusual skill. Among the many things he did was one which ought forever to be remembered with gratitude by all Americans—the laying out of the beautiful capital city of our nation, Washington. For Banneker was called in to assist L'Emanit, the French engineer and surveyor; but, because of an emergency, the real burden of the work fell upon Banneker, whose talent was great enough to do all that he was called to do, and how well it was done the present beauty of our national capital will always give evidence. Yet history, written as others have recorded it, gives only the credit to Washington and L'Emanit. But some day, when American color prejudice shall have Johnson, Dunhan, Kenip, Prentice, Emory Gardnor, Sturges, Mr. and Mrs. K. D. Kenney, and Mr. Craig.

You don't know the sorrow to be NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 3. 1926 ceased to be our favorite national pastime and when men shall both write and read history with their minds intent upon facts, and not prejudices, all Americans will gladly give rightful praise to Bannaker, man of upright moral life and scientific skill consecrated to the unselfish service of God and follow men. Abraham Lincoln, the rail-spitter from a log cabin who became the great martyr-President, is rightly praised for his high achievements. But why only praise Lincoln? It is a commonplace today with every student of history that Lincoln would not have freed the slaves if no could have saved the Union by other means. Why not, then, think most highly of Frederick Douglass and of Sojourner Truth and of Charles Sumner and of John Brown, without whom, Lincoln or no Lincoln, slavery would not have been made to totter and fall from its hellish threnes? God raises up His modest heroes as well as His celebrated ones. Christian biography does not always include the men of human choosing; perhaps it more often deals with the very humblest and lowest of God's children. "Hath not God chosen the weak things of this world to confound the things that are mighty, and the things that are not to bring to naught the things that are?" left alone, Till God sends a message to your home. "Tis sad when He calls for one or the other. But the saddest of all is when He calls for father and mother. DEVOTED CHILDREN. METHOD—In memory of my dear father, Alfred F. Method, who departed this life on January 31, 1925. Short and sudden was the call Of my father, loved by all; The blow was great, the shock severe.

Morningside 0536 Leonard Russell, 18, 429 Lenox avenue, was held in $1,000 ball for Special Sessions Friday by Magistrate Corrigan in Washington Heights Court on a charge of forcible entry. According to Detective Bauer-schmidt, of the West 135th street station, Mrs. George Seward had returned to her apartment at 171 West 132d street, when she discovered a stranger in the bedroom where her husband was asleep. When Mrs. Seward screamed the man ran to the street, leaving behind him a bundle of silverware he had gathered. Bauerschmidt, hearing Mrs. Seward's screams and seeing Russell running from the house, chased him to 132d street and Seventh avenue, where he fired a shot over the man's head and Russell halted. Mrs. Seward identified Russell as the man she saw in her apartment. An automobile tire iron was use in jimmying the door of Mrs. Seward's apartment. Cramped and Suffered "My back and head would ache, and I had to go to bed," says Mrs. W. L. Ennis, of Worthville, Ky. "I just could not stay up, for I would cramp and suffer so. I was very nervous. My children would 'get on my nerves.' It wasn't a pleasure for me to try to go anywhere, I felt so bad. "My mother had taken For Female Troubles at one time, so she insisted that I try it. I took four bottles of Cardul, and if one should see me now they wouldn't think I had ever been sick. "I have gained twenty pounds, and my cheeks are rosy. I feel just fine. I am regular and haven't the pain. "Life is a pleasure. I can do my work with ease. I give Cardul the praise."

Wood Given Alternative of 90 Days in Jail for Violations "The fatal fire in Harlem Wednesday in which five persons lost their lives is a tragic example of the necessity of enforcing the fire laws." Magistrate Simpson Friday told Love B. Wood, lessee of several apartments in 101 W. 135th street. "I'm going to fines you $250 or 90 days in jail." Wood was paroled for two days in order to pay the fine. He was charged by Inspector Walter H. Murphy, 496 E. 138th street, in Manhattan Municipal Term Court, with violating Section 16 of the Tenement House Law. The inspector said that several rooms in Wood's apartments did not have direct connections with fire-escapes. The building was erected several years ago to house a proposed bank. When the project failed to materialize, it was converted into an apartment dwelling. Asst. Corp. Counsel Dunn said this was brought about by Wood, who is a tenant as well as kindlord there, by building partitions in his apartments, thereby increasing the number of flats. The owner of the building, Dunn asserted, was perfectly willing to knock down these partitions, and have the rooms connect with fireescapes, but Wood, because this would cut off his excess profits, refused to permit it. "When I consider how many lives are endangered by your refusal to have this necessary alteration made," Magistrate Simpson said, "I feel that a small fine would be commensurate with the offense committed. I therefore fine you the limit with the alternative of a long Workhouse sentence. Bronx Auto Thieves' Band Broken Up With the sentence Saturday of George Hall, 29, 123 West 134th street, to a term of ten years in Sing Sing by Judge Cohn in the County-Court on an auto larceny charge, details of an investigation by District Attorney McGeehan's office into the operations of a band of auto thieves, conducted during the past two months, were made public. Assistant District Attorney Felix A. Dixon, who was assigned to conduct the investigation, made it known that 14 expensive automobiles were recovered from persons, who bought them from the thieves for prices ranging from $25 to $100. In several instances, it was shown that stolen Hudson, Packard and Studebaker cars were obtained for $25 and one for two bottles of whiskey. The band of thieves, of which Hall was said to be the leader until his arrest on Dec. 2 last, "dealt" exclusively in the more expensive makes of car, which were readily brought up, mostly by friends of the thieves in Harlem. It was through the theft of Assistant District Attorney Dixon's own car from his garage underneath his home at 2514 Webb avenue that the operations of the thieves on a wholesale basis was discovered. The investigation resulted in the return of the 14 cars to their owners. TO STUDY LAW. George B. Anderson, son of Mr. and Mrs. John L.

WEDNESDAY, FEB. 3, 1920 Five men were arrested by Detectives McChronen and Quinn of the E. 138th street station Thursday night, all charged with assault and robbery. They are Sheldon Atron, 20, 1 W. 133rd street; his brother, Gilbert, 18, of the same address; Edward Jordan, 22 2164 Fifth avenue; Ernest Brown, 23, 252 W. 149th street, and Sylvester Lofton, 6 E. 132nd street. In addition to the assault and robbery charges, Lofton was also charged with violation of the Sullivan law. The detectives said that at the time of his arrest he had two revolvers on his person. The five men are said to have been identified by about eight persons who during the past six months say they were robbed by one or more of the quintette. Harry Pearlman, white, 153 E. 125th street, testified that about two weeks ago he was hold up by Atron and robbed of $15. A robbery of the Healy Grocery store, 135th street and Madison avenue, was laid to two of the man, but their names were not mentioned. Brown is said to have assaulted Joseph Gaitano, white, 2116 Madison avenue, about Jan. 10, and robbed him of $45 in cash. In all, the detectives said, the loot stolen by the man within the past six months aggregates about $2,000. When they were arraigned in the Harlem Con were held by Magistrate Vitale for a further hearing. Nine Night Club Owners Arrested Held for Operating Dance Halls Without Licenses Nine more Harlem night club owners and managers were handed summonses for permitting dancing without dance hall licenses, when the second wave of the police crusade to ride Harlem of unlicensed halls got under way early Wednesday. As a result, some of Harlem's best-known night clubs have stopped dancing, pending the results of the arrangements of the owners and managers. These clubs include the Cotton Club, 644 Lenox avenue; Connie's Inn, 2321 Seventh avenue; Happy Rhone's, 652 Lenox avenue; and Barron's Exclusive Club, 198 W. 134th street. Other clubs affected by the crusade, which was conducted by Policeman Boshamer, Capt. Mulrooney and Dot. Sergt. McVeigh, all of the W. 135th street station, are the Capital Palace Club, 575 Lenox avenue; the Lions Club of Kings County, 38 W. 135th street; the Hole-In-The-Cellar, 28 W. 133rd street; the Nest, 160 W. 133rd street, and the Colored Performers' Club, 416 Lenox avenue. Of the entire group, George Homan, 22 W. 134th street, manager of the Colored Performers' Club, pleaded guilty to the charge and was held for $100 ball for Speech Stations by Magistrate Corrigan in Heights Court. Arthur Rhone, 108 Edgecombe avenue, owner of Happy Rhones, and Conrad Immerman, 200 W. 115th street, manager of Connie's Inn, were each held in $100 ball for a further hearing. Harry Handler, 831 Kelly street, president of the Cotton Club; John Powell, 117 W. 142nd street, owner of the Capital Palace Club; Thomas Mack, 53 Lenox avenue, manager of the Lions Club; William Adams, 2041 Fifth avenue, manager of The Nest, and Joseph Bagely, 47 W. 159th street, were each paroled in the custody of their attorneys for further examination Friday. Horace Williams, 223 W. 137th street, owner of The-Hole-In-The-Cellar, was arraigned before Magistrate Corrigan and was held in $50 bail for Special Sessions. Gave Purse to Another to Hold; She Did On a charge of grand larceny, Sally Butler, 28, 2524 Seventh avenue, was held in $2,000 ball for a further hearing by Magistrate Corrigan in the Washington Heights Court. Wednesday. The complaint was made by Mrs. Bertha Campbell, 222 W. 142nd street. According to Mrs. Campbell, she was walking down Eighth avenue with the accused woman and asked her to hold her purse for a minute, in which there was jewelry valued at $600. The defendant then handed the pocketbook to a man who had been following them, it is alleged. The prisoner with the unknown man then disappeared, Mrs. Campbell said. RESTAURANT OWNER PUNCHED IN EYE On a charge of disorderly conduct Oscar Campbell, 25, 217 West 193th street, was fined $10 in the Night Court Thursday. The charge was made against Campbell by William Cashon, 130 East 118th street, proprietor of a restaurant. Cashon claimed that the accused man punched him in the face and killed him of his care. It was allied that Campbell attempted to go to bed in the restaurant. EATS FORTY-TWO EGGS - INCLUDING SHELLS The town of Dunn, N. C., believes it has the world's champion egg eater in the person of Essie McLean, who recently devoured forty-two eggs at one sitting, sholls, included. The Right Rev. Robert Erskine Campbell, Episcopal Bishop of Liberia, sailed Saturday for England, where he will take passage for Monrovia, Liberia, his see, to assume his duties as successor to the Right Rev. Walter H. Overs, who resigned because of sickness. Bishop Campbell is a graduate of Columbia in the class of 1906 and of the General Theological Seminary in the class of 1909. He was for several years prior of the monastery established by the Order of the Holy Cross in the jungle at the northeast corner of Liberia. Friends of Bishop (campbell raised a "bishop's purse" of $1,000, which they placed in his hands as a discretionary fund, to be used in any manner which he sees fit. These same friends and others hope to be able to raise sufficient funds to provide a cathedral in Monrovia. There is at present a fine episcopal residence there. "A cathedral is not what I need most." Bishop Campbell declared. "The diocese is about the size of New York State and there is no adequate medical and surgical headquarters within its limits. We have a hospital—that is, we have the building, but neither doctors, nurses, nor equipment. One doctor is ready to volunteer for the work, but that is almost futile." Greatest Lieder Singer, Says Henderson By W. J. HENDERSON, Dean of American Musical Critics in the New York Sun. Roland Hayes, the now famous Negro tenor, gave his third recital in Carnegie Hall last evening. The auditorium was crowded and several hundred persons sat on the stage. The program was arranged on lines familiar at the entertainments of this singer. Beothoven and a seventeenth century composer named Frank furnished the lyrics for the first group and Brahms gave the second. The third was miscellaneous and the fourth consisted of spirituals, arranged by Rosamond Johnson. After the group, of course, there were numerous encores. Some singular things have been said loudly about the singing of Mr. Hayes. There have even been rumors that his art showed some deterioration. It might, perhaps, betray a quite human weakness if, riding on the top of a wave of unparalleled success and seeing before him the certainty of a splendid fortune, this young colored man of the humblest origin should accept his honors easily and sing with less care than he did at first. It is not only the pleasure, but also the duty, of the chronicle of musical doings to record today that there was in last evening's recital no disclosure of anything save the presence of one of the foremost lieder singers of this time. The technic was always noteworthy. The mastery of tone, the command of mezza voice, the cunning employment of falsetto in one or two quite appropriate places, the management of breath and the constant infusion of warmth and color all proved the skill and sensitive fiber of the singer. The interpretations were on a par with the technic. The key of the whole recital was set in the delivery of the first number. Beethoven's "Ich Liebe Dich." which was sung with exquisite finish, perfect diction and profound tenderness. The lovely Franck song "Sel Nur Still." was a triumph of style and sentiment. In the Brahms' group, all beautifully sung, "Deln Blues Auge" and "Botschaft" stood out by reason of the superior intensity of feeling in their interpretation. To come to the conclusion of the whole matter there is no other lieder singer now before this public who is singing this type of song with quite so compelling a union of heart and heart as this young colored man. His recital last evening was one of the best he has ever given here and one of the best that any artist of today has given here. Mr. Hayes is fortunate in his accompanist, William Lawrence, who is an admirable artist and perfectly fitted to give his singer just the delicate and finely shaded support that he needs. Coal Peddler Held for Special Sessions Maron Brown, 355 a coal peddler, 470 Lenox avenue, was arraigned Friday before Magistrate Vitale in Harlem Court, charged with selling short weight coal and failing to have his bags properly marked to indicate weight.* Brown, who is employed by a coal dealer, was selling coal from a horse-drawn wagon. He was arrested on complaint of Inspector Stone, Bureau of Weights and Measures. The inspector charged that Brown delivered an unmarked bag of coal which he said contained 160 pounds to Mrs. W. Sturrup, 16 East 134th street. The inspector weighed the bag of coal and alleged he found it to be 18 pounds short. On the charge of failing to mark his bags, Brown was fined $5, and on the charge that he sold coal below weight he was held in $25 ball for trial in Special Sessions. Although several tenants admitted that since they got a summons for their landlord conditions in the house have been better, Magistrate Corrigan refused to dismiss the complaint of failure to furnish hot water and heat to tenants made against Miss Ernestine Parker, white, landlord of the building at 269 West 140th street. Mrs. Josephine Brown, who led six tenants in complaining against the landlord, charged that it had been impossible for the tenants to take a bath for three weeks because no hot water had been furnished and that the apartments were so cold tenants' children became sick. Said by the police to be a two-gun holdup man, James Staley, 27,141 Spring street, New Rochelle, was arraigned in Harlem Court before Magistrate Vitale on a charge of robbery Wednesday. He was held in $25,000 ball for the Grand Jury. Ernest Williams, waiter employed in a restaurant at No. 49 East 133rd street, sald Staley entered the restaurant when there were no customers in the place, and after displaying two revolvers, rifled the cash register of $14 and left. Williams said he followed Staley to Fifth avenue and 133rd street where he had him arrested. Albany Cop Kills Burglar Albany Cop Kills Burglar ALBANY. Feb. 1.—Al Dixon was killed, Patrolman John J. Walsh, white, was seriously wounded and Fletcher Overby was shot in the leg during a fight between the officer and the two men whom he caught robbing on automobile supply store here Saturday. A taxicab driver saw Walsh struggling with the men and answered his call for help. As he did so one of the men fired two shots and Walsh collapsed. One of the intruders ran away and Walsh, though wounded, grappled with the other. Bailey caught the fugitive but was unable to hold him. He then went back to help the policeman, who was rapidly weakening, and before he could reach him the other robber wrenched himself loose and fled. A squand of police who answered Bailey's telephone message for reinforcements searched the neighborhood and found Overby hiding in a shed, wounded in the log. Suspecting that Dixon had been concerned in the affair, police went to his room and found him dying in bed. He had been shot through the mouth. It is beloved he was shot with his own revolver while struggling with Bailey. He died a little later. HELD FOR THEFT OF 2 BOXES OF CANDY Charged with the theft of two boxes of candy valued at $3. Joseph Kemp, 17, a student, 63 W. 135th street was held in $500 ball for examination by Magistrate Corrigan in Heights Court Thursday. John Farkas, white, owner of a confectionery store at 2255 Seventh avenue, who appeared as complainant, said Kemp entered his store early and took the candy while his back was turned. Farkas said he noticed the two missing boxes and followed Kemp to the street where he had him arrested by Policeman Coogan, of the W. 135th street station. Notes of the New York Academy of Business Misses Ruth Lippscomb, Gladys Hunter, Lilieh Gordon, and Mr. Thimothy L. Guy are new students registered at the New York Academy of Business this week. Mrs. Sadie Deston's party on Saturday evening, January 30, in the Assembly Rooms of the New York Academy of Business, was very successful. Messrs. McClain and Clarence Davis, the musicians, rendered very fine music, which was greatly enjoyed by all the patrons. The Business Girls' Association will have a meeting on Thursday evening, February 5, at the New York Academy of Business, at eight o'clock. NO HACKING LICENSES; TWO MEN ARE FINED Because they had no hacking license, two men were given heavy fines in the Washington Heights Court, Monday morning, by Magistrate Simpson. Edward Hooper, 234 W. 138th street, was given the heaviest fine. He paid a $50 fine in preference to going to the workhouse for thirty days. Otis Marshall, 214 W. 140th street, was fined $10. Both of the men were arrested by Patrolman Boshamer of the 135th street police station. Landlords and Tenants to Discuss Problems Landlords and tenants are to meet in open discussion at the Abyssinian Baptist Church's Community Forum, Thursday evening; February 4, at 8 o'clock. U. S. Deputy Collector Aaron Smith has arranged the program to give each side a hearing. The subject to be discussed is: "What shall we do to stop the friction between landlords and tenants? Will the extension of the Rent Laws afford permanent relief?" Sentences of Pair Commuted to Life Were Scheduled to Die on Gallows This Friday for Murder ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 31—Josh Cartwright and George Baker will be taken from the city jail to the State penitentiary within a few days to serve life terms, instead of being led to the gallows on Friday, as the result of commutation of their sentences for murder by Gov. Baker. Interfering for the first time with a capital punishment verdict of the courts, the Governor announced his action was based on a reading of the record in the case, in the belief these men were less responsible than another prisoner previously hanged for the same crime. Cartwright, Baker, Leon Williams and Reuben Bobbitts were convicted of the murder of Harry Leonard, white. 'In an attempted robbery of Leonard's saloon at 2200 Randolph street, Dec. 30, 1923. All were sentenced to hang except Bobbitts who was given a life prison term, which he is serving now. Williams was hanged here July 17 last, after Gov. Baker had declined to intervene. Brennan To Die Week of March 8 John J. Brennan, white, former patrolman attached to the Clymer street station, was sentenced to die in the electric chair at Sing Sing some time during the week of March 8 by Judge McLaughlin in the Brooklyn County Court Monday. The former policeman, who shot and killed Samuel Krafin, a glazer, in the Clymer street police station, heard the sentence without sign of emotion. Bulking largely before the desk, he stared stolidly ahead of him and no tremor marked his reception of the sentence. Woman Flined. On a charge of disorderly conduct, Lottie McCoy, 73 West 133d street, was fined $3 by Magistrate Simpson in Washington Heights Court Friday.

ADVERTISING RATES UPON REQUEST. Wednesday, February 3, 1926 AN ADDRESS recently before the Harlem Medical, Pharmacoeental Association, published issue of The Amsterdam New M. Wilson scored his fellow医icians for the practice of directs to white druggists when a rebate or commission ofcriptions filled, and pleaded to put an end to such insistence. MING from a physician who practising medicine in Harlem last five years and who prior to had ten years' experience of a drug store, it is impo to take the charge seriously into the conclusion that many in Harlem prostitute them their race for a few unearned each month—dollars which from the pockets of patients their trust in them at a time are least able to afford them to stifle the business of the asso pharmacist. THE PHYSICIAN who GRACIED to phone your prescription office to the pharmacist, or only consents to leave it by the son his way back to the office or courteous, but when it is fed that he may be swelling at your expense, you are used in being suspicious of honest physicians avoid the tag you your prescription and leave it filled by your own drug. BLOOD-SUCKING DOCTORS IN AN ADDRESS recently before the North Harlem Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental Association, published in today's issue of The Amsterdam News, Dr. Wiley M. Wilson scored his fellow Negro physicians for the practice of directing patients to white druggists who give them a rebate or commission on the prescriptions filled, and pleaded with them to put an end to such insidious practice. COMING from a physician who has been practising medicine in Harlem for the past five years and who prior to that time had ten years' experience as the owner of a drug store, it is impossible not to take the charge seriously and come to the conclusion that many physicians in Harlem prostitute themselves and their race for a few unearned dollars each month—dollars which must come from the pockets of patients who put their trust in them at a time when they are least able to afford them, and which stifle the business of the aspiring Negro pharmacist. THE PHYSICIAN who GRACIOUSLY offers to phone your prescription from his office to the pharmacist, or who KINDLY consents to leave it by the drug store on his way back to the office, may appear courteous, but when it is considered that he may be swelling his income at your expense, you are fully justified in being suspicious of him. Most honest physicians avoid this by giving you your prescription and letting you have it filled by your own druggist. THE TAXI KILLER CAREFUL ANALYSIS of state ruled by the office of the Controller of Motor Vehicles in New York shows that the taxicab is the worst offender again and that he is responsible for A CAREFUL ANALYSIS of statistics compiled by the office of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles in New York State shows that the taxicab chauffeur is the worst offender against the law and that he is responsible for more deaths than other drivers of motor vehicles. During 1925, 2,120 persons met death as the result of motor accidents on the public highways, and 54,398 were injured. "An examination of the type of vehicles involved in the accidents reveals the fact that taxicabs were involved in 17 per cent, and yet they represent only 2/4 per cent of the number of cars registered: Stated in another way, for every 35 pleasure cars there was one accident; for every 27 commercial cars there was one accident, and for every 4 taxicabs there was one accident. On those figures it seems that the taxi and truck drivers are more reckless or thoughtless than others." THE TAXI DRIVER, more than all other operators of motor vehicles, is under the direct supervision of the police departments of the State; and the fact that he is responsible for more fatalities carries with it a corresponding indictment of the present police methods of dealing with him. G. O. P. LEADERSHIPS THE FACT that a majority of the present Republican district leaders are in favor of allowing Samuel S. Koenig to remain chairman of the New York County Republican Committee, does not mean that his usefulness is not at an end and that his retention is detrimental to the party in New York County and State, and in the Nation. Moreover, there is nothing surprising in this. Koenig has been the county chairman since 1911 and it is perfectly natural for him to have built up a party machine favorable to his retention. TURNING though from the voices of the district leaders to those of the voters, we find them growing louder and louder each election for a new order of things in the party, and their voices cannot be ignored except at the expense of Republican success. The situation in the county is analogous to that in the Twenty-first Assembly District, where Leader Robert S. Conklin has a majority of the county committee lined up with him, but whose continued leadership cannot help but bring defeat to the party in the district. LIKELY AS NOT, both Koenig and Conklin will be the last to see the handwriting on the wall, but it is there for them just the same. Their resignations are in order but will hardly be forthcoming until there is a breakdown even more complete than that suffered in the last election. Expressed by Our Contemporaries No Argument Here Against Capital Punishment No Argument Here Against Capital Punishment . (From the Durham "Morning Herald.") Last week a Negro man went to his death in the electric chair in Raleigh after a salid, admitting his guilt of the crime, one of the most helminth in the recent records of the state, for which he had been convicted. No which has been heard about the abolition of capital punishment in his case. He had attacked a deaf mute in a state school. He had been tried by the court, the decision upheld by the court in the state, and the Governor had refused executive clemency. He had every opportunity, so far as can be seen at this distance, that he could have had. last week a Negro man went to his death in Raleigh after it, is said, admired of the crime, one of the most heinous recent records of the state, for which he had convicted. Not much has been heard in a petition of capital punishment in his attack, a deaf mute in a state school. He tried by the court, the decision upheld the court in the state, and the Governor had executive clemency. He had even opted so far as can be seen at this distance, that he had. The fact that those who are advocating the use of capital punishment have had little to the Montague case shows the weakness in position. If capital punishment is all we would have as believe, then it was not the extreme penalty upon punishment for crime should be impartial. Not the law say such crimes as Montague had convicted of shall be punished death, but the human idea of justice is just that punishment. Had it been soague could not be punished with death, possibility that the people of the community of the crime was committed would have come into their own. But hands the know of fact that there was a sufficient legal power no doubt deterred any desire that might for mob violence. If the administration general human conception of proper punishment left to hands other than legal, there been but another crime added to the list, wrongs do not make a right. There are objections to capital punishment omitted. But the objections are more than a protection it gives society in preventing it in violation in pleading to creature it did not deter Montague, but who, if many others it will deter? If Montague permitted to go to prison with the ever peril of escape or partition, others of his kind more inclined to assume the risk. The fact that those who are advocating the abolition of capital punishment have had little to say about the Montague case shows the weakness of their position. If capital punishment is all wrong, as some would have us believe, then it was wrong to inflict the extreme penalty upon Montague. Punishment for crime should be impartial. Not only does the law say that such crimes as Montague was charged with, but the human idea of justice carries with it just that punishment. Had it been so that Montague could not be punished with death, there is a possibility that the people of the community in which the crime was committed would have taken the case into their own hands. But the knowledge of the fact that there was a sufficient legal punishment no doubt deterred any desire that might have arisen for mob violence. If the administration had been left to hands other than legal, there would have been but another crime added to the list, and two wrongs do not make a right. There are objections to capital punishment; that is admitted. But the objections are more than offset by the protection it gives society in preventing mob violence and in serving as a deterrent to criminals. Of course it didn't deter Montague, but who knows how many others would be sent to prison with the ever present hope of escape or partion, others of his kind might feel more inclined to assume the risk. Wearing a Black Mask (From the Detroit Independent ) All who wear dark faces are not Negroes; some are white men in disguise. A few days ago, for example, four policemen of Detroit disguising themselves as Negroes gained entrance into a gambling resort and played in a dice game for fifteen minutes. They were caught by police, helping the burned cork, from their hands and faces. who wear dark faces are not Negroes; white men in disguise. A few days ago, four policemen of Detroit disguisitng a Negroes gained entrance into a gant and played in a dice game for fifteen men revealing their identity by wiping cork from their hands and faces. White men disguised in this fashion find it White men disguised in this fashion find it equally easy to commit highway robberies, murders, burglary, and assault on women, and shift the suspicion on Negroes. Policemen with blackened faces may find it easy at times to apprehend colored lawbreakers, but it is a dangerous precedent by which they might be led to commit crime and escape detection by hiding behind a black mask. The very fact that Detroit policemen should deem it necessary to darken their faces in order to make certain arrests, is conclusive evidence that we have too few colored policemen and detectives on the local police force. Why use the artificial, when the genuine is available? The Detroit Police Department has a police officer to disguise in female attire and mingle intimately with unsuspecting women of the community, as a means of detecting women offenders. Such a job would be assigned to competent policemen. Policemen with dark faces are all right and we need more of them, but we want them to be the genuine article. There are too many white men masquerading behind black faces. A few years ago, for instance, a double murder was committed in Haiti. A police man with black face flees from the scene of the murder, the criminal was so closely pursued that he blew out his brains to escape capture. The murderer proved to be one of the prominent white men of the town, who had disguised himself as a Negro. Dr. Wiley M. Wilson Sounds Progressive Keynote in Speech to North Harlem Association Dr. Wiley M. Wilson Sounds Progressive Keynote in Speech to North Harlem Association WITH a great measure of pride I am glad to be a member of the profession embracing the colored physicians in New York City, and I feel flattered to have been selected as your president for the ensuing year. I say that I am proud, because to my mind there is not, in all this country, a more efficient, more ethical, more promising nor a finer type of enthusiastic manhood than that which comprises our group in Greater New York. Five years ago when I began the practice of medicine in New York, there were only a few physicians of the race in Harlem, and the rank and file of the colored population considered it a joke to patronize a Negro doctor. The colored professional man was viewed and pigeon-holed as an experiment by a large majority of the people. But with the advent of pioneers of unquestioned ability and unfaltering perseverance, embraced in hope and guided by a vision of a better day, Divine Providence gave to us trail blazers whose memory we shall ever hold before us as beacon tights to guide us in the paths of such men as the last McDonough and York Russell; also E. P. Roberts, Gus Henderson, Godfrey Nurse, Fitz Nearon, E. Elliott Rawlings and Louis Wright. TRAIL BLAZERS. These are some of the men who plunged into the dark and dismal unexplored wilderness or prejudice, of ignorance, of distrust and of distorted propaganda against Negro doctors, and blazed the trail. These are some of the men who recover many of the obstacles of rulelet or rulelet made the pathway passable ease and safety for the many young men who were to follow: Today we have in our midst nearly 75 colored doctors, most of whom are recent adjuncts to this community. Therefore, most of us are delegated to that great horde of gold diggers, figuratively speaking, who follow in the wake of a more material gold rush or recently discovered oil field. We followed in the path already made possible by the almost during and unending hardships that one gone before. Our owe is deeply our burden light compared to our hardships, privation, insults, sacrifice and discouragements confronted by our forerunners and pioneers of yesterday. We have only to lend a helping hand in removing a boulder of prejudice here—a snag of ignorance there and to abridge a rivee of misguided confidence yonder. We have only to follow the beaten path made by our predecessors through tribulations. And by working together in harmony there will soon be constructed a bovine ward of easy going from objection to success for all who enter the New York Nero medical warden. KEEP ABREAST OF TIMES KEEP ABREAST OF TIMES. In order that a physician may advance himself, become more efficient and keep abreast with the progress of the times, he must do three things: Read current literature. Affiliate with some hospital, and actively associate himself with other physicians, whereby there may be an exchange of ideas, opinions and experiences. To the New York Negro doctor the first is purely personal and is within reach and at the command of all. The second has recently been made possible by the lowering of the barriers at Harlem Hospital and through the struggling efforts of the孟哥combe Sanitarium and the Wilson Sanitarium. The third is within your grasp and is beseeching and anxiously awaiting your summons in the form of our local organization, and the County and State Medical Society, the American Medical Association and the National Medical Association. Out of 75 'Negro doctors in Harlem, we have only 35 members of this organization, about 20 members of the County Medical Society, about ten medical Association and about five members of the American Medical Association. Think of it! Wiley M. Wilson, M.D. This is appalling, this is disgraceful—this is indifference personified. DECRIES INDIFFERENCE. Why does this indifference exist? Why is it that the Negro doctors fail to see merit in the strength of union, and refuse to take advantage of organization? Why is it a fact that they offer all kinds of filmsexuses for non-affiliation and irregular attendance? Is it because he does not have to keep up with the advances of modern medicine? Is it because he is busy enriching himself? Or is it because each individual thinks himself so far advanced over the other until he considers it a condescension to ally himself with his contemplation. But, gentlemen, to my mind, there is no plausible excuse with sufficient merit to withstand the bombardment of cold facts in favor of organization and co-operative action. Until the Negro as a race learns the advantage of organization, it will never get far in the scope of civilization; without organization there is no life. And the Negro would live life. And this obtains from the lowly amoeba to the highly organized man. Without organization in the scheme of life, there would be eternal strife, discord, dissension, turmoil and life itself would soon cease. And the Negro would be no family ties, no tribes of the aboriginal, no race distinction, no state, no government; no co-ordinate state of society. Everything would be chaos. PLEADS FOR UNITY. But with organization there is unity, strength, concerted action, harmony and advancement; and through organization men learn the greatest law of nature, self-preservation. With organization the Negro has developed to national proportions and international recognition through Hampton, Tuskegee and Howard Universities, the N. A. A. C. P., the N. M. A., and during my administration of this organization, we are going to develop the Negro Medical Society of Harlem to a standard second to none in this country. Will you help? Will you help? It is to your advantage; through it you can get in touch with any organization in this country; through it you can make requests that will promptly be granted; through it you make demands that will receive response; through it you can outline the medical program of Harlem to the • Board of Health; through it you can command Harlem Hospital officials to appoint men of merit and you can demand of them to disregard unethical with regard to men who are bastards; the mission in purpose and parasites to the community in action. In other words, if a man is too good in his opinion or is not good enough in our opinion to be a member of our organization then he should not receive the endorsement of the medical society and besides, we should be strong enough to warrant or disapproval would be final apperaining to his appointment in Harlem Hospital. We should make our organization so strong until any member of the profession not affiliated with it would automatically brand himself as an outcast; an exponent of quackery and whose morals and code of ethics are questionable. We should enact a law empowering the chair to appoint a vigilant officer to ensure duty it will be to acquaint itself as far as possible with the activities of Harlem Hospital and report monthly to this organization. We should formulate a plan by which recommendations and appointments to Harlem Hospital shall be dealt with with some degree and sense of equity and justice to deserving members of our organization, thus eliminating petty political and personal favoritism. Let us go on record tonight as being bitterly opposed and antagonistically inclined to any political affiliation and let us make it known to the public and hospital authorities alike that we attenuated our advancement to Harlem Hospital unless this advancement is made through service, merit and cooperative ability. HELP STUDENTS HELP STUDENTS. We should appoint a representative to make a personal appeal to the senior medical class at Howard University, setting forth the situation as it exists at Harlem Hospital, and making a plea to the class to send its best qualified and most representative members to take the interne examinations at Harlem Hospital in April. I am in favor of this procedure in order to clarify a hazy situation we seemingly present among the members of the senior class as you will note from this letter which reads as follows: Dr. Peter M. Murray, M. D., President, The North Harlem Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical Society, New York, N. Y. My Dear Sir: A small group of New Yorkers and their friends mooring about ten in all have asked me to communicate with you in reference to the Harlem Hospital internship matter. These young men are anxious to make a test case of the internship question at this hospital, by doing what has not been done, namely, have the necessary number of candidates on the ground at the time the examination is held. If the North Harlem Medical Association has any plan which these young men can fit into they are willing to co-operate with such. Five of the boys came up to New York late in December to take the same course, the same was to be held the 28th and 29th of April at a time when we all will be getting rings, pins, pictures, class books, gowns, etc., for graduation and hardly over one or two will be able to again make the trip up unless they can get some assistance. I seldom come to New York, and know nothing of the matter there with your organization already has made plans or taken steps to handle the situation, but am writing on behalf of my classmates to you who do not know that you may advise them. Very few)beethily. (Significant PAIR, President, Senibu, Medical. Class, 28, Howard University, Washington, D.C. And furthermore, I am in favor of this action in order to stimulate interest and restore confidence in the men that the Hurlem Hospital sit- tle provides that we can meet Dr. Neph's knowledge and have at least 50 men taking the examination. I urge each member of this society to become a member of the New York County Society. There are many advantages too numerous to enumerate, but the greatest factor to my mind is to get in out of the way. In other words, join now for a regular line is drawn, and help us fight. From being drawn, We should have a committee appointed at each regular meeting of this body whose function would be to attend all meetings of the County Medical Society and bring back to us a resume of the program. By this, means we could establish direct intercourse with this organization. Keep in touch with the man of the hour and foster recognition for ourselves. Since my recent election to the presidency of this organization, I have been greatly annoyed by repeated and persistent phone calls from the Urbane League and Harlem T. D. Association. I hope you will establish some definite plans by which I am to be guided with such organizations and outline a policy by which I can make it clear to such groups just what I am going to do. I would like to know if we ever had a settlement with the Henry Street Settlement Nursery and if Dr. Ross is satisfied? Seriously speaking, however, I am anxious to hear from the men regarding their experience with these nurses. Gentlemen, there is one thing that I am not going to Keeping Fit:- BY E. ELLIOTT RAWLIN & M.D. A "Crushed Flower" IN ONE of the cross streets of congested Harlem is a flat. one of those tall stone piles, with one or two windows in the front and back and none on the sides, and more foul air than pure, where lived Catherine, a girl of eighteen summers. She is a beautiful girl, with form, face and personality that is young, pleasing and bewitching. She is one of the human blooms in God's garden that has grown to physical perfection despite the environment of congestion, poverty and "flat life." tolerate as your president and that is a lot of Negro lodge "Tom Foolery" and academic parliamentary technicalities. But I am going to use every method at my command to assure you of a good jam-up meeting by which you will profit; a meeting in which you will gain food for thought and meeting from which you will take something constructive and well worth the sacrifice of the time you spend. She was born from sturdy Negro parents whose simple life in the rural Southland has been changed to the artificial, strenuous and crowded city life of New York. Catherine was eager when she became 47 to try her wings in the flight of womanly grace outside of her homo. The girls in New York are prone to such a desire. The call of the saxophone in the music of the frequent dances enticed her to listen to the wooing of Chester Lang, a lad of 20 winters, and DRUG STORE EXPERIENCE From 1904 to 1914 I was actively engaged in the drug business. I enjoyed success as a business man, but I always had one pet grievance and that was the fact that Negro doctors would not patronize my store as wholeheartedly as they did the white stores. They gave me a lot of complaints. They held their patients were skoptical because of my youth, because of my color, because of a conjecture that the wholesale houses sold me inferior products, because my prices were too high—and a lot of other bunk. But as I became more sophisticated through experience, I found out that the real reason was that the white man was paying the doctor's phone bill, office rent, and giving him a commission on his R's—a most displeasant relationship. Nevertheless that same condition exist right here in Harlem and you Negro doctors who are guilty should be ashamed of yourselves to decry a Negro druggist in favor of a white druggist for the sake of a small commission at the expense of your already pauperized patient. Don't forget that most of your patients when you knock a Negro in the profession or in business, you are knocking yourself and retarding the economic conditions of your race. Every drug store in Harlem should be owned and operated by colored people. 'I wish to impress upon your minds the value of making time. Whenever you purchase tickets for the theatre you always find it convenient to be comfortably seated when the show begins. Why can't you make it convenient to be on time to your own production and to a show where you are an important actor and where you share in the profits of the proceeds. SHOULD CHANGE NAME. In my mind the flame of your society does not sound with a true tone of dignity commensurate with a group of men or your calibre. In saying the Negro Medical Society I always, for some unknown reason, feel hesitant—abashed and loathed to come right out with it. Perhaps I am wrong in my attitude, but as a final request, immerse the name of our society to something less flagrant and more representative of what we are rather than who we are. In conclusion I wish to say that my greatest hope and ambition as your humble servant is to foster and engender into the minds of each member of the profession that innate desire for ethical friendliness, friendly feeling and cooperative spirit which will stand as an enduring monument to my administration. Soldiers Ask Fairness BIRMINGHAM.—The registration of Negro voters took a now turn here when the Soldiers' Cooperative Association, Inc., a Nesro service men's organization, through Ohio Bell, its president, appealed to Governor Brandon in behalf of Negroes who desired to register. Bell said 25,000 Negro soldiers left the State at the time of the World War at the call of their country and that it was unfair not to protect them their constitutional rights to Mrs. Indiana Little who was recently arrested following a disagreement with a clerk in the registrar's office, is the wife of a disabled Negro soldier and the sister of a former service man. Rotten Practises. She was born from sturdy Negro parents whose simple life in the rural Southland has been changed to the artificial, strenuous and crowded city life of New York. Catherine was eager when she became 17 to try her wings in the flight of womanly experience outside of her home. The girls in New York are prone to such a desire. The call of the saxophone in the music of the frequent dances enticed her to listen to the wooing of Chester Lang, a lad of 20 winters, and so despite the improvements of her mother's home and a new marriage to her husband Lang. They have been married three months. Three months of married life has brought Catherine a mixture of pleasure, a little happiness and now sadness, worry and unhappiness. All because Chester Lang, her young husband, was too young, too impulsive, too ignorant of health laws to be a husband. Seven months from now Catherine will be a mother. This naturally would give her some anxiety, but to Catherine anxiety has turned to sadness. An eruption, plukish in color, has covered her once beautiful skin; a little ulcer is present on a delicate part of her body; her doctor has just told her blood disease has called syphilis. This physician has impressed her to have this syphilis immediately treated. He fears her expected baby will develop this terrible disease unless a quick and thorough treatment is given. All this has made Catherine very sad. Chester Lang, her husband, is sorry. He told the doctor that he was. He is going to pay the doctor for the treatment. But he has crushed the spirit and scarred a once beautiful girl. Chester does not feel real, he has done. Ignorance has crushed innocence and Tragedy is King.
