JUVENILE VICE RAMPANT VOL. XVII. NO. 11. Published Every Wednesday by The Amsterdam News Publishing Co. 2293 7th Ave. NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1926 Entered as second-class matter Dec. 31, 1969, at the Post Office at New York, under the Act of March 3, 1879. SECTION ONE Funeral Rites for Beloved Actress Today MAE KEMP RENOWNED VAUDEVILLE PERFORMER SUCCUMBS GIRL HELD PRISONER BY WHITE MEN DIES New Virgin Islands Report NOW that distinguished members of the Virgin Islands Colonial Council have appeared before the House Committee on Insular Affairs in support of the Davila Bill, which seeks to establish full civil government in the Virgin Islands, now under Naval supervision, of particular interest is the report of Rufus S. Tucker on "Economic Conditions of the Virgin Islands," known as Senate Document No. 41, 69th Congress, First Session. Mr. Tucker's report, which was first submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury, shows that the population of the Virgin Islands has steadily decreased since 1796, when it was nearly 29,000, down to approximately 26,000. Of this total, 7.4 per cent is white, 74.9 Negro and 17.5 mixed. Under American standards of living, which are gradually becoming rich in the islands, the death rate is declining. Along with this favorable gesture goes the fact that filiteracy is also declining and that natives are permanently imbibing the ambitions and progress of America. The disheartening feature of the report—and, in fact the same as was disclosed by the all-colored commission which President Coolidge sent to the Islands in 1924—is the economic decline, and the decreasing opportunity to earn and live. In one year exportation of sugar fell from 30,000,000 to 12,000,000 pounds; while in 1924 sugar exportation dropped to 4,764,400 pounds. Cotton and cottonseed also fell in weight and value. Cotton dropped in export value from 16,903 to $24,424 from 1919 to 1924. On the other hand, importation rose steadily, causing a financial drain on the Virgin Islands and silently adding the trend of inactivity so prevalent in the islands. Surely, Yankee business sense and administration are needed to hit the Virgin Islands out of the slough of despondency and to combat the loss of its bay rum and other industries. Here is a group of peaceful little islands, of which the U.S. is now the Fatherland, and which can be of inestimable help to itself. And whether or not converse enacts the proposed David measure, it is hoped that the Virgin Islands area may again (Continued on Page 10.) Two Guns Found in Restaurant Freed Edward Virgin, owner of a restaurant at 2367 Seventh avenue, and Elish Ware, a cook, were dismissed by Magistrate Flood in the Washington Heights Court Wednesday, when they were arraigned on a charge of violating the Sullivan Law. The men were arrested by officers of the Special Service Squad. The policemen, testified that they were attracted to the premises by an unusual clamor. Upon further investigation it was obvious that individuals in the place were engaged in a brawl. As the officers entered the restaurant, the men started out the door. On searching the place a revolver was found in a water bucket at the end of the counter and another one was found in the kitchen. The officers said that they then placed the cook and proprietor under arrest. Virgin and Ware pleaded not guilty through their counselor. They did not account for the presence of the weapons in the place, allowing their testimony, and did dismiss the charge. FIRST in the hands of the Readers. FIRST in the homes of the People.

Amsterdam News The Colored Weekly That Is Found in the Average Colored Home TO "BREAK THE BONDS" Patronize Only Stores Employing Negroes Admirers of Beloved Actress to Gather in St. Benedict's Catholic Church Today to Mark Passing Member of First Team to Play on National Circuits A former queen of the theatre will be laid to rest today and hundreds of persons took notice of her passing. After High Mass services at the St. Benedict Catholic Church, the body of Mae Kemp, among the first great performers, who died in her forty-ninth year Saturday at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Jessie A. Shipp, Jr., 170 West 136th street, will be buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery. Stars and humble actors alike in the theatrical world will be present or send flowers and messages, and hundreds of admirers and friends of Mrs. Kemp will crowd the church to witness the funeral rites. "Lord have mercy on me" were the last audible words of the famous actress. Four Catholic Sisters and the Mother Superior of the St. Benedict Nursery were at her bedside when she died. The nurse that had been attending her was also there. Her sister and daughter, Miss Mabel Kemp, were not present at the time. Miss Kemp was performing in a theatre at Bangor, Me. - Mrs. Kemp became popular in a team with her husband, Bob Kemp. The team was among the first of the Negro performers to be headliners on big vaudeville circuits in the country. She later took the leading role in "Sunny South," which was also at one time with the Williams and Walker company. After Kemp's death she organized the Captain Mae Kemp company. Although she has been in the theatrical world for over twenty years, Mrs. Kemp devoted much of her time to social and welfare activities here. During the war she organized a motor corps of women which purchased an ambulance that was sent to France. Benefits were given by her for the Day Hope Nursery and a number of charitable institutions. She furnished a large amount of the resources for the Lucy Lancey School in Augusta, Ga. To give children the value of her experience and training she opened a dancing school, and the school still survives under her name. Because of her illness, she came her to live with her sister last June. Later she was removed to the Cancer Institute, where she remained for two months. At this time a bill of stars headed by William "Bojangles" Robinson gave a benefit for her at the Lafayette Theatre as an expression of their appreciation for her. Mr. Albee of the Hippodrome furnished the entire orchestra of the theatre for the performance. Before she finished school she can away from her home in New Orleans to join the Black Pattie show. It was in this show that Mrs. Kemp, who was then Mary Lange, met Bob Kemp. They were married some time later in Chicago. The little school girl who became the queen of the performers is survived by her daughter, two grandchildren, Ernest and Ernestine Williams; a sister, Mrs. Shipp, and a niece, Mrs. Corrine Shyver.

Shrine Test Case Before Texas Court AUSTIN, Tex.

THE NEW YORK 3 JUVENILE DELINQUENTS TELL THEIR EXPERIENCES IN COURT Two Men Held to Await Action of Grand Jury—Girls of Fourteen Admit Soliciting Men in the Theatres Bad daughters and careless mothers suffered a great embarrassment Monday when they appeared before Magistrate Julius Wiel in the Washington Heights Court to press serious charges against four men. While two of the men were released, two were held in $1,000 each to await the action of the Grand Jury. Of the two girls, both 14 years old, one is a student in the Wadleigh High School and the other in the Junior High School. The youngest of three girls, who is 13, is still in the grade school. Certificates from physicians were produced as evidence of the serious condition of the girls. Following the hearing, the girls were held in custody by the Children's Society. In relating her first experience with men, one of the girls sobbed vehemently. She told how she had run away from home and slept in hallways and subway stations. After she became stranded she began to make advances to men for money. On going to the Franklin Theatre she became familiar with one of the ticket takers. Because she related to him such a pathetic story, he agreed to take care of her. The ticket seller then rented a room in West 130th street. For several weeks he pretended to be her cousin and provided for her. When the man failed to pay her room rent, she went to another theatre and made advances to one of the attendants. The attendant, she said, kept her all night in a dressing room. The Wadleigh High School girl confessed that she had known the defendant in her case only four weeks. After school, she said, on two occasions, she went to the man's room to have intimate relation with him. With fear that her relation with her friend would be revealed, she purchased and took a small bottle of iodine. Because her mother applied first-aid treatment immediately afterwards she recovered. The third girl had less exciting experiences. The defendant in her case had met her while he was visiting a man friend in her apartment. The girl said that instead of going to the kitchen for bread, as instructed by her mother, she would go to her friend's room. The names of the girls are withheld for obvious reasons. Sold Liquor to Raise Money for Church Fund (Preston News Service.) STEUBENVILLE, O., Feb. 8. "We sold the booze to raise money for the church," testified Mrs. Mary Jones when arraigned before Mayor John Patton Thursday. Mrs. Jones told the Mayor that there was so much poverty and squail in various sections of the city in families where the men folks were out of work that the church had been asked for funds. She felt as though she should do something to help the needy ones. "We gave cups and the money we made from selling the moonshine we put in the missionary fund," she testified. Nest Owner Freed of Cop's Charge Officer Said John Carey Prevented Him Making an Arrest A charge that they prevented a policeman from performing his duty was dismissed against John Carey, owner of the Nest Club, 133d street and Seventh avenue, and William Adams, manager of the club, by Magistrate Flood in the Washington Heights Court, Thursday. According to Patrolman Nolan of the 135th street police station, a woman accosted and solicited him on the corner of 134th street and Seventh avenue. After the officer did not pay any attention to her, the woman walked on down Seventh avenue. Nolan said, that he followed her to the Nest. When he attempted to go into the club, the manager, he said, stopped him and wrenched his thumb on the door knob. He was further informed that he could not enter. Upon cross examination it was brought out that the officer was dressed in civilian clothes and that he did not reveal his identity at the time he attempted to pursue the woman. The officer said that his shield at the time was in his sock. Adams said that it was their rule to bar anyone from the club who was unescorted. Held Two $1,000 Dogs as Security for $10 SOMERVILLE, N. J., Feb. 5.-Mrs. Nelle Russell, who was a witness in the Hall-Mill's murder inquiry, was held here today in $2,000 ball by Justice Sulphon on the charge of having in her possession two Russian wolfhounds worth $4,600 each, the property of Mrs. Paola de Pino, white, of the Hotel Pasadena, in New York City. Mrs. do Pino caused the arrest last week of James W. Russell, husband of the woman arraigned today, who is superintendent of an apartment house at 119 East 53d street, on the charge of sending the dogs away while they wore in his custody. He was held in the West Side Court in New York for examination. Russell said his wife had the dogs at their home near Voorhees Station, near Somerville. Mrs. Russell said today that she had taken the dogs as security for $10 loaned by her to Mrs. de Pino. Justice Sulphon thought that was rather high security for the loan. 16 PAGES Complete in Two Sections 3c. IN GREATER NEW YORK ELSEWHERE 5c SUCCUMBS TO PNEUMONIA AND HEART ATTACK BEFORE MEN HELD IN BAIL CAN BE IDENTIFIED Mother Arrived Yesterday From Newport News, Va., to Testify as to Daughter's Age—N. A. A. P. C. Takes Hand in Case Before Ruby Edwards, 14 years old, could tell the story of her horrible experiences at the hands of ten of more white men, who held her in captivity for immoral purposes, she died in the Metropolitan Hospital on Welfare Island Wednesday. With the complaint of manslaughter and two other serious charges facing them, ten white men will be rearraigned in the West Farms Court Tuesday, as a result of the girl's death. The girl was lured to a cold barn at 234th street and Bailey avenue, the Bronx, by the men and held a prisoner without food for three days, it is charged. An autopsy was performed by Dr. Norris of Bellevue Hospital Thursday. The direct cause of the girl's death was heart trouble, the physician reported. Sylvester Ryan of the Bronx County District Attorney's office declared that the girl's death will make very little difference in the prosecution, if her right age can be established. Mr. Ryan was the spokesman for John E. McClohan, the District Attorney, who is handling the case. The girl's mother will be sent for, if necessary, to prove her daughter's age, Mr. Ryan said. She is in Newport News, Va. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has retained Counselor Alan Dingle to assist in the prosecution of the deftendants. Brown & Stevens to Pay Creditors Saving Will Be Effected The girl came here to live with her aunt, on 14th street, from Newport News, Va., but ran away about ten days ago, according to an officer of the Children's Society. She soon became stranded and resorted to begging in the subway stations. While she was in one of the Bronx subway stations it is believed that she was approached by three of the defendants, who took her to the barn. In the left of this barn and with only hay for a bed she, it is alleged, was held a prisoner by the men now under arrest. Following a report made by a citizen, detectives went to the barn and Grand Ruby alone. She was pushed to the hospital, but too late to recover from the long exposure and the many attacks made upon her. Shortly after she was taken to the hospital, the ten men were rounded up and held in jail. They were later released on ball to await the girl's recovery. Safrino Amanteo, 20 years old, of 3132 Kingsbridge terrace, was held in 55,000 ball because the police said he had a record. Seven others were held in $2,500 ball each. They are: Robert Volze, 18 years old, of 3234 Fort Independence street; John Fintich, 37 years old, of 3160 Albany Crescent; Theodore Coquillard, 32 years old, of 225 Spangen Duval parkway; George Volze, 21 years old, of 3331 Fort Independence street; Ermus Pironti, 24 years old, of 3332 Fort Independence street; Peter Ma lakes, 20 years old, of 3414 Kingsbridge Terrace, and Victor Pulchol, 24 years old, of 3250 Kingsbridge Terrace. William Murphy, 24 years old, of 3497 Fort Independence street, and Angelo Amanteo, 21 years old, of 3362 Kingsbridge terrace, were held in $1,000 bail amount Brown & Stevens to Pay Creditors Saving Will Be Effected by Paying Small Depositors in Full PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Feb. S.—Herman N. Schwartz, receiver for Brown and Stevens Bank. Broad and Lombard streets, has sent notice to the 10,000 depositors announcing that commencing February 11, 3,500 depositors will be paid in full. This is the first of a series of payments to be made to the Brown and Stevens' creditors. It is expected that the next will soon follow. On account of the large expense involved in handling such a large number of claims the receivers decided to pay off the small creditors first, as it would make for large savings to the estate. E. C.

Action of the City Council Monday in passing an ordinance prohibiting Negro barbers from serving white customers after June 1 is meeting with opposition. Resolutions protesting against the ordinance were adopted here last Tuesday by the Evangelical Ministers' Association and by a conference of Methodist laymen from North Georgia. Before becoming law the ordinance must be approved by Mayor Walter A. Sims. "We deplore the proposed action of the city of Atlanta," reads part of the laymen's resolution, "as being unjust to the Negroes." The joker in the measure is that it works both ways, prohibiting a white barber from working on a Negro. TO RECONSIDER BILL. The city council of Atlanta will reconsider its action. This was assured here Wednesday when Councilman John A. White, who voted for the measure, said he had talked over with a sufficient number of the members who voted for the ordinance to insure its reconsideration. He said he and others who favored the measure were under the impression at the time it had had a public hearing. The ordinance was passed Monday by a vote of 21 to 10. It brought forth protests from Chamber of Commerce officials, the Georgia Manufacturers' Association and the laymen's regional conference of the Methodist Church. Mayor Sims yesterday did not indicate what course he would pursue with reference to the measure. His telephone has been kept busy with calls protesting and approving the bill. W. D. Hoffman, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, declared if the Mayor signs it, that organization will go into court and seek an injunction against its enforcement. President Hoffman, of the Chamber of Commerce, hases his protest on the constitutional rights of the Negroes and the harm such a measure would do to business by voiding leases on downtown business property.

Billiard Room Operator Held Billiard Room Operator Held Widow-Owner Says Phelps Failed to Carry Out Agreement Mrs. Essie Potts of Philadelphia and New York appeared in the Washington Heights Court last week against Roy D.

In the agreement the accused man promised to turn over the pool-room in the same condition that he received it upon her demand. Since the time of the contract Mrs. Ports said that she had lived in Philadelphia and Atlantic City. When she returned and made the demand for the return of the business Mrs. Potts stated that she was informed that Phelps had exchanged the original tables for Brunswick tables and that there was a mortgage of $3,000 on them. If she would take over the establishment it would be necessary for her to be responsible for the mortgage. Because she had no knowledge of the business she said she had hired Phelps. The man pleaded not guilty. The court then granted the adjournment until next week. PLEADS GUILTY TO DISORDERLY CONDUCT Pending probationary investigation. Raymond White, 33, 1618 Washington avenue, was remanded In West Farms Court by Magistrate McKinlry, Wednesday.

Newswise, 76, the oldest Pullman porter in the country, is dead after 56 years of service. He travelled more than 6,000,000 miles on Pullman cars since he entered the company's service, on September 10, 1870 and no complaint ever was made against him by a passenger. "My mother taught me never to quarrel with a fool, but to humor him," Newswise often said, and which he called his motto of life. "That's what I do. I study my man and I know him." For 45 years Newswise travelled between Chicago and Denver in early days. Once his train was stopped by a herd of buffalo for 50 minutes. Another time the train was attacked by Sioux Indians. His largest tip was given to him by the late Buffalo Bill. It was a $100 bill. Newsome was to have been retired on March 1 next. Ordinarily the Pullman Company retires its porters at the age of 70, but, because of many requests from patrons, a special order from the president of the company retained Newsome after that age.

Johnson, Director of the Department of Research and Investigations of the National Urban League, of the Fifteenth Annual Conference of that organization ere. The conference lasted three days, beginning Wednesday. Over 200 social and welfare orkers from different sections of le country gathered here to take art in the meeting. State and officials and representatives of American Federation of Labor so participated. A message from ov. Smith was read at the last session of the conference. The report of Mr. Johnson was nation-wide study of the labor union situation as it affects the negro. He stated that his findings reveal that about 100,000 Negroes are now unionized, the largest groups being among the railway workers, the longshoremen, hod writers and the building laborers. The American Federation of Labor is anxious to unionize the negro," declared Mr. Johnson, "because he has become a power in rikkei-breaking. The last stockade strike, the last steelworkers' strike and the strike of the railway shopmen in 1922 are cases in point. But while this is the expressed attitude of the national body the prejudice of the locals proves to nullify its application, only four industrial unions invite Negro to membership and these are those occupations where Negro is particularly strong—the longshoremen's Union, the loadcarriers' Union, the Tunnel workers' Union, and the unions of the common building trades laborers."

Man on Probation for Beating Wife Woman Says Husband Gave All His Money to Spiritualists After being found guilty of beating his wife, Joseph Richardson, 24, 106 W. 130th street, was placed on probation for six months by Magistrate Jean Norris in the Harlem Court, Wednesday. Richardson's wife, Mrs. Gladys Richardson, has been living with her mother at 350 E. 142nd street. Mrs. Richardson told the Magistrate that her husband had recently become a spiritualist and was giving all of his money to a spiritualist instructor. Her husband, she said, also demanded that she turn her money over to the instructor, and she refused to do this. Richardson, according to his wife, attacked her in their home in E. 99th street, where they had been living, biting her on both arms, and threatening to kill her with a large bread knife. The husband dealed the charges made by his wife, asserting he found her intoxicated in their home. He charged that a man, whom he found in the bedroom, beat him up, striking him in the face and causing his mouth to bleed. He charged that his wife also joined in the attack upon him.

"Skin" Game Causes Shooting Pocketing of Players' Money Ends in Fatal Shooting Arthur Streeter of 158 Howard street is dead and Oscar Brown of 30 Bedford street is being held at the 4th Precinct Station, accused of having shot Streeter through the heart with a .38-callibre revolver at Kinney and Boyd streets in Newark Sunday. Brown said that he had been drinking all Saturday night in a cafe on Lewis street and that at 7 a.m. Sunday he went to the home of Mrs. Rose Hall, West Kinney street. There he met Streeter, who proposed a game of cards he called "skin." Brown, in accordance with the supposed rules of the game, put $6 on the bed on which they were playing. Streeter at once pocketed the money and said, "Now you've been skinned. Try to get your money." Both were drunk, said Brown, and a quarrel ensued, in which Mrs. Hall attempted to intervene. Streeter was finally prevailed upon to leave, but Brown remained behind until persuaded to go by Jas. Gelger of 289 West Kinney street. He met Streeter at Boyd and Kinney streets and demanded the money, which he alleged Streeter had stolen. Then, Brown says, Streeter drew a knife and attacked him with it, which forced him to draw his revolver and fire. Streeter fell to the ground and Brown took flight. Bystanders saw the shooting and gave chase. They are Edward Ogden, street foreman; William Holt, 246 Prince street; Lewis McClendon, 46 Wilsley street; Andrew Sobolewski, 309 West Kinney street, all in Ogden's snow-clearing gang, and Lewis Wilsowski, 236 West Kinney street, a bystander.

PROMINENT TAMPAD.D.S SLAIN IN HOME BY BOARDER Mrs. Blanche Armwood Beatty, Wife of Slain Man, Only Witness to Tragedy — Cause not Definitely Known (Preston News Service.) TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 8. — The tragic death of Dr. John C. Beatty, a prominent dentist here, last Wednesday, came as a distinct shock to the community and the nation because of the prominence of his wife, Mrs. Blanche Armwood Beatty, Dr. Beatty met his untimely death by a bullet fired from the gun of E. L. Williams, who had been a friend of the family and a roomer in the doctor's home. The slaying occurred on Wednesday. It is difficult to determine the nature of the argument provoking the tragedy. Mrs. Blanche Arnwood Beatty, wife of the slain dentist, executive secretary of the Tampa Urban League and an officer in the National Association of Colored Women, is said to have been the only witness to the slaying. Williams is said to have escaped after the shooting. It is said that Dr. Beatty had ordored Williams to leave his home on account of his unbecoming conduct on Tuesday. Williams lost, but the next day returned to get his belongings and at that time an argument is said to have arisen and the shooting followed. Both men are said to have drawn guns, but Williams beat the dentist to the draw. Dr. Beatty was shot twice and died almost instantly. Dr. Beatty was born, reared and educated in Louisiana. After his marriage he located in Tampa, the home of his wife, and opened dental offices, where his jovial disposition and skill won him a lucrative practice. He was popular with all classes. His remains were taken to Louisiana for burial.

The materials used are taffeta and chiffon, for the debutentes, metal cloth and metal laces for her more sophisticated sister. Colors for evening yield a leading place to the pinks, all shades from flesh and coral, although blues still hold their prominent places.

The founder, Mrs. Matthews, had recently suffered a severe mental and physical shock in the passing away of her only son. In her grief and solitude she observed more keenly than ever the needs of the children of the East Side, and particularly the blocks between Second and Third avenues. As an outlet for her pent-up grief and emotion, Mrs Matthews, therefore, dedicated herself to the cause of ministering to the needs of this increasing number of children. Gathering around her a small group of earnest women, she organized and opened on East 91th street, between Second and Third avenues, what was then known as "The White Rose Mission." women continued on for some time and, so far as the association knows, constitutes the first Travelers' Aid established in New York City. In 1898 the name of the organization was changed from White Rose Mission to White Rose Home for Working Girls, and incorporated. In 1901 the home was moved to 217 East 86th street and about this time, through the contributions of friends, both white and colored, the home was able to secure paid workers to meet the girls. One worker, Mrs. Hattie Proctor, of The Rev. H. G. Miller was a staunch friend and supporter of this movement and, together with some of its founders—the late M.D. dames J. S. Politte, S. E. Wilkerson, and the still surviving Mrs. Mary Pope, Miss L. L. Lacey, Miss D. Durham-Nelson, then Miss Moore, and others, the woe was carried on in spite of trifle and drawbacks. The benefits of the "Mission" influence for good upon the children of the neighborhood because so pronounced that, upon appeal, the landlord readily granted the use of the floor on which they met, rent free, for six months. There was a kindergarten, presided over by the then Miss Moore; also classes in cooking sewing and other domestic science arts. Those were Sunday meetings, too, and the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar and Dr. Booker T. Washington were among the many prominent persons who visited and addressed the children at some of those meetings. This work of Mrs. Matthews and her associates continued to improve the children of the neighborhood so markedly that the landlord granted the workers permission to continue using the floor gratuitously until the end of the year. In the Spring of 1895 Mrs. Matthews received a letter from a Miss Morehouse, a white teacher at Bayland Home, Jacksonville, Fl. requesting her to meet a girl of color whom they were sending to New York to work. The girl was to wear a red ribbon planned to her coat for identification. Mrs. Matthews was prompt in meeting the steamer, but one of those unanimous persons was warned that then now hold of her and spirited her away, causing considerable trouble and inconvenience in rehearing and sending her home again. After this occurrence, Mrs. Matthws decided that, as far as she was able to prevent it, no other strange girl of her race would be left to land in New York City unprotected. Accordingly, a little band of faithful women did volunteer work and took turns in "meeting the boats" and leading the strange girl in the right direction. Oftentimes the girls were penniless and knew not where they wanted to go; the address of their friends or employers was looked away in their trunks. In such instances the girls were sheltered and fed free of charge or at a nominal cost. If they could pay. The work of this little band Tel.

In 1901 the home was moved to 217 East 56th street and about this time, through the contributions of friends, both white and colored, the home was able to secure paid workers to meet the girls. One worker, Mrs. Hattie Proctor of Norfolk, Va., met the girls at that end and a Miss Boyd of Mt. Olivet Church met them at this end. Later the work at this end was taken over and very efficiently carried on by Mrs. Matthews' sister, Mrs. Anna Rich. During these years thousands of girls and young women have come to this home.

HOW FOODS CAUSE DISEASE "Such appalling disclosures of physical deficiency are not heeded, because man, blinded by his so-called claim to civilization, can't see that civilization is digging his grave." By JOHN A. DIAZ. CHAPTER IV. Food Manufacturers Rob Us of the Breastless, Mineral, Salta. If a man assault another he will be justly brought to justice and punished. But if he sell to his brother's foods which do more harm than a knockout blow, he will be doing it legally. If a man rob another, he will be legally punished, for the law of man foroids stealing. But when food manufacturers rob their brothers of the indispensable mineral salts by polishing ice, bolting and sitting flour, cornmeal and oatmeal, they do it with impunity. If a man unlawfully kills another he will be justly put to death; for the law of man says the penalty for unlawful killing is death. But when the food manufacturers, millers, kill millions of children and adults they do not become murderers under the law of man. They can legally rob food of the essentials of life and they get away with it—murder. They are not punished because the victims of their commercial greed and selfishness do not die instantaneously. They are not killed suddenly. But these poor helpless children and adults are being robbed a little at a time, slowly but surely undermining their vitality, sapping their strength, lowering their resistance, until eventually they become the ready victims of any disease. Modern man in his effort to be highly civilized—to be different from the lower animals, the apes, primitive man and the savage, removes from his natural foods the useful elements so indispensable to the building of health and resisting disease. These elements, sixteen in number, are present in fertile earth, healthy plants and in the tissues of man. They are oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, chlorine, fluorine, iron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sodium sulphur, salicin, iodine and traces of a few other minerals. Nature has endowed the human body with these precious elements which the body obtains through the medium of food and food alone. When man, to manifest his civilization, refines his foods to please eyes, he displaces the human tissues, which are in dire need of these elements in order to maintain health—in order to be in accord with the Laws of Nature. When in the process of refining his food man violates the laws of Nature, he commits suicide; for life without these elements is half life, it is disease and the result is 500,000 children under 10 years of age perish yearly in the United States, not counting the millions who grow up crippled, and the millions who become physically and mentally deficient.

Best Amusement Page in New York City Stood Aghast at "Ghost" Lon Chaney was wonderful in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," but his successor to the Victor Hugo classic owes him in a far more thrilling, and far more mysterious le. "The Phantom of the Opera," Universal's spectacular new super-feature, which comes to the Lincoln Theatre is Thursday, presents the prince of character actors as a prince of thrills—and thrills he furnishes aplenty. europe Gives Colored Actors Opportunities Denied Them Here enna Stands Out as One of the Places Where Colored Americans Are Enjoying Real Freedom VENNA, Austria—Europe rather in Liberia, according to present locations, is the place toward which colored Americans will in future turn as their land of naise. In particular is this true those who have a talent for the go. Throughout Europe "the colore" is a thing unknown while in ropean theatres a colored skin a real asset. For years past colored people are been extremely popular in since and other Latin countries.ey have been welcomed into city, feted as war heroes, and wise given a status equal to enjoyed by people with white na. Since the war this popularity has lead to other European States. day there is hardly a city of any where a few colored persons not to be encountered over it, especially during the summer days and there is no national vital which does not welcome the crad traveler as cordially as it is the white tourist.

Picture With Scenes Laid at Naval Academy Coming Underlined for Two - Day Showing at the Renaissance Theatre Commencing Tomorrow, Thursday. "The Midshipman," feature picture at the Renaissance Theatre Thursday and Friday, February 11 and 12. is a marine picture that attracted the attention of the entire country when it was being produced. It was filmed at Annapolis under the immediate supervision of the U. S. Naval Department with Ramon Novarro starring. The story is an academy romance and is replete with thrills from start to finish. It has its dash of love and a good plot. Excellently directed, with a carefully selected cast, "The Midshipman" is a picture all are certain to enjoy. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, February 13, 14, and 15, the attraction will be Pola Negri in "A Woman of the World." This is the first really American picture in which the famous star of the soreon, Pola Negri, appears. The story is an American romance that is a mixture of emotional thrill, spiritual drama and rollicking humor, laid against a typical small town background; a searching satire of American morals. Malcolm St. Clair, famous director of "Aro Parents People" and "The Trouble With Wives," is the director of "A Woman of the World." The picture is one that every lover of good productions should see. The management announced last week that they had booked that big spectacle, James M. Burrie's "Kiss For Cinderella," on Sunday and Monday, Feb. 21 and 22. This presentation will also be the attraction for Washington's Birthday, down on Broadway, this picture showed to many thousands. Announcement was also made that beginning on March 6 that widely heralded picture, "Phantom of the Opera," will be at the Renaissance Theatre. The public is urged to keep in mind the popular Sunday afternoon concerts each Sunday, starting promptly at 1 P.M., by the Renalssance Concert Orchestra, E. Gilbert Anderson, conductor. Monarch Lodge Invites City and State Officials Band Concert to Be Broadcast on Night of Big Affair at Madison Square Garden. No one would have thought that the efforts put forth by a handful of men in the old downtown district in behalf of the organization of Monarch Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World could crystallize into mighty aggregation which will give its annual trotle at New Madison Square Garden, 50th street and Eighth avenue, on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 1926. We are reliably informed that the cost of giving this affair will reach the splendid sum of $10,000 and that all boxes are sold and receipts thus far have totaled the sum of $12,000. The Governor of the state and members of his staff, the Mayor of the city and his staff are among those invited and it is confidently expected each will attend. Among the things devised by the efficient committee of Monarch Lodge for its guests are: broadcasting of the concert by its champion band which played for the city in Central Park during the summer of 1923; providing a reserved seat for every ticket holder. The committee assures us that this will be an evening of mirth and joy, never to be forgotten. at "Ghost" Enormous Production That real to Lincoln Audiences of This Week perful in "The Hunchback of rior to the Victor Hugo classic illing, and far more mysterious Opera," Universal's spectacu- comes to the Lincoln Theatre prince of character actors as his he furnishes aplenty. a huge chandelier from the dome of the opera house into the audience, sending hundreds to doom.

Miller came to town last week and, as usual, spent quite a little time giving us an earful anent the doings of the world in which he has been quite some pumpkins for a long time. Irvin C. is doing nicely and will mayhap bring back one of his productions to the Leafyette in early spring. His "Brown Skin Models" have been doing nicely on the road. Irvin's visit naturally recalled many incidents in the newspaper world since his absence. He has always had a strong leaning to us fellows in the game. Commenting on Sylvester Russell, Irvin reminded us that Sylvester cannot always be wrong and pointed to one of the salient points of Russell which seemed to direct attention on the right path some time ago. Sylvester had hardly closed negotiations with the "Courier" when he hurled a harpoon at S. Tutt Whitney. Whitney has for years been contributing this graft matter to the columns of the "Defender" and Russell holds that this is out of line. We agree with him. Did Whitney devote the time and effort which he puts into his staff for the "poopers" into his own particular calling he would perhaps reach the goal to which he has been aiming. There are enough colored newspapermen to hold down jobs on the journals in these days, and papers with any amount of decency do not have to depend on column fillers from among the performers. This form of journalism but a rule of big business, when the actors wrote their own boosts and newspaper owners, too lazy to deal fair with the public, allowed actor-writers to jam their columning with the sensible opinions of the failures in show business. One seldom finds a successful artist spending his time trying to do two things at one time and doing either of the two successfully. At last the delayed opinion for which we have been looking anent the opening of "Lulit Belle" is at hand. And most timely, as the show opened here on this Tuesday night and readers of this paper will be glad of the opportunity of getting a true slant on it from the pen of a colored writer. In last week's paper we reproduced the opinion of a local dailies, and today we take pleasure in reproducing the opinion from the critic on the Philadelphia "Tribune." Says the "Tribune" writer. "The hook creates a question. A typical low-down Negro story has been presented, showing the worse side of the Negro life in Harlem. Not giving credit to our well conducted cabarets and our fine people, who carry themselves as well as the white race, have not had a chance in this story. It is evident that Belasco tried to get real Harlem nite life, but evidently he did not get any further than 55th street, as the cabaret shows a knock-down-and-drag-em-out atmosphere, with a brawl which ends in a stabbing match. The girl takes a ride in a high yellow Harlem girl, or street woman. I should like she has a fist burlesque of the colored girl, featuring the lowest type. Lines very suggestive; language terrible; gives the white man a fearful conception of colored society. The colored players in this show are merely used for atmosphere—a general background, bringing out a volume of illiteracy among our people. "The evening papers gave it a better write-up and spoke of Miss Uric only and said nothing about the supporting colored cast. For data the first scene is a crap game, which an Irish cop raids, followed up by a fight between Evelyn Preer and Uric which is disgraceful, in the light that it throws on our race. The few lines that the colored actors have in the play deal with nothing but low and degrading situations. "The plot of the play deals with Miss Uric falling in love with a Frenchman; an exact sequel to the Rhineland case. One thing, Girl Uric is not a white girl; she is a black woman of heard, and Christolson of this world. Her characterization of a high-yellow girl, as they call her in the play, is great. Henry Hull, her support, makes an excellent high-yellow boy, as he is also called. He puts over the southern brogue great. "At the end of the play the high-yellow falls for a Frenchman and he takes her to Paris as a common-law wife. There she is killed by her American Negro lover, who has followed her to Paris, and that ends the show. A morbid ending. "It is evident that Belasco wanted the type of Negro that is a detriment to our race, and he never sought the better class of society." William Hart Returning in His Masterpiece to Popular Franklin Theatre "The Cold Deck" Gives This Screen Idol a Great Chance to Display Those Abilities Which Won Him Such a Big Following From Start of His Career William S. Hart, who is today the most noteworthy male figure on the screen and the idol of all true Americans, will make his appearance at the Franklin Theatre Sunday and Monday in his masterpiece. In this play you will see the beloved William S. Hart accused of holding up the stage coach and you also see how quick justice is dealt out in the land where the ever-present spirit is to do your shootout first and argue afterwards. capturing the real murderer of the Wells-Fargo messenger, provide situations that will thrill the most blaze spectator. And, with William S. Hart in the role of "On the Hill," it is unnecessary to say that every bit of value possible is taken from the part. Three popular women stars are seen in Hart's support: They are Alma Tullens, Sylvia Bremer and Mildred Harris Chaplin. This play will offer "the two-gun man of the silent drama" in an entirely new characterization, a deviation from all past portrayals. He will be seen as a typical Best Harte gambler in a story of California in the early fifties. Instead of the usual Harte habitiments, he dresses the part in high beaver hat, old-fashioned stock and frilled shirt-bohem, flowered waistcoat and broad-leaf coat, and the polished boots of the period. But, to those who can only picture Harte in his past delinctions, it can be safely said that he presents as striking an appearance in this costume as he has in other Western outfits. The story is of "Level Leigh," a gambler of the old school. White devoting himself to his profession he is visited by the little sister that he has never seen and whose health demands that she be removed at once to a higher altitude. Selling his interest in the game to his partner, "On the Level" moves his sister to a point high in the Sierrares—Hielandgone. And then the real drama takes place. His meeting with Coralie, the Spanish dance-hall beauty, whose jealousy proves his financial undoing; the hold-up of the weekly stage; the arrest of Leigh by the Vigilantes; his breaking fall and Phone Audubon 6650 DELLA M.

With the Billiardists By OLD IVORY. At the regular meeting of the Billiard Room Owners of Greater New York three was much stress laid on the members to co-operate with the police by keeping out undesirable and questionable characters. They were also advised to keep their rooms clean and not to allow anything but Carom and Pocket Billiards to be played less they bring a hardship upon themselves and disfavor on the Association. J. Harris, old citizen of Providence, R. L., now residing in New York, is a billiard fun of 18 carat variety. Last week he stacked up against an old timer at the Emporium, Harry Hains, President of Monarch Band, and what Hains tried to do to Harris was to make him like it. They played five 50-point games. Score. Hains 2, Harris 2. J. H. Washington told Mgr. Willis that his nerves were getting better owing to his regular afternoon billiard playing, and when he got right he would play a match game against Charlie Wilson or Joe Grey. Being a banjo student now, he will be eligible for the next musicians' tournament. Clarence Jones, champion billiardist of the musicians and winner of the last tournament at the Lafayette Emporium, has made for himself a special left handed cue in exchange for the triple pointed prize cue he won in the musicians' game, presented by the management. Bob Lacey, old time room manager, is now connected with the Lafayette and he is in charge of the night watch. He would be pleased to greet all of his new and old friends assuring them an evening of pleasure. True saying: "Birds of a feather flock together." Perdue in charge of cash, candies and cigars, invited the candy and soda man from the Laffayette Theatre to a game of billiards, and as an introduction clicked off 39. Although his opponent is a good player, he could not overcome this run. They are down for another sette.

For the first time since it has been completed the splendid new armory of the 369th Infantry on 143rd street will house a monster affair that gives every indication of even taxing the capacity of this home of the former "Hell Fighting (15th)" which is one of the most spacious armories of its kind in the entire state. To cap it all there will be seats for everybody and all present will enjoy the hardest game in the career of the Celtics under the best auspices. SIX The white players are fighting with their backs against the wall. The colored players have wrested two victories out of the series with these famous players and this contest in the nature of the boldest challenge ever hurled by one team in the other and which Manager "Dob" Douglas smilingly put through when he was challenged by the leader of the shamrock team for a chance to regain the position lost to the colored team. Colored fans are proud of the wonderful record made by Mesars. Kjall, Jenkins, Saunders, Garela, Hicks and Slocum, and that they will turn out in large numbers to take them the necessary support and incidentally offset the great host of rooters which will accompany the white club is a foregone conclusion. Twenty picked musicians of the regiment under the personal leadership of Bandmaster Porter will furnish music for the occasion, and no pain will be spared in making the night one long to be remembered. The Renaissance team returned early Sunday night from their up state trip, winning all their games. In two contests they scored more than one hundred points. In spite of the work they left behind the boys were just rarin't to go when they hit the old home court and they lambasted the Original Crescent to the sweet tone of 58-22. In the preliminary game to the big contest the team played for the Douglas Trophy in the Eastern League, exhibited a very exciting brand of basketball, the Buffaloes winning from the Sting A. C. by a 49-36 score after playing off a tie. A new wrinkle will be added by the management of the team this spring when bushes will leave 13th street and Lenox avenue, taking passengers to Arcadia Park to see the boys play and bringing them back all for the sum of two dollars. The wagers leave at one o'clock sharp. Those delicious of looking advance reservations can call Manager Douglas at Harlem 1925. The coming Sunday night the Repression Five will go in against the St. Michaels of Bloomfield, N. J. This team has defeated such good ones as the National Turners and the Elizabeths. Vandals Defeat Carlisle ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Feb. 6. — In a game that was nip and tuck from start to finish the Vandals downed the Carlisle Field Club Quintette of Washington, D. C. 32-31, at Waltz Dream Hall Friday night. The game bristled with scintillating passing and shooting, the Davis brothers and Fowler of the visitors scoring 11 field goals between them. Though shorter than Legs Lee, the visiting center outplayed Logs, the latter's goals all being under the basket. Howard, McLain, Alboy and Jackson showed well for the Vandals. The vandals led at half time, 21-20, but trailed during the second half, 25-20, when Alboy tied it up with two fouls and a double-decker. The locals then led until the final whistle, but the outcome was always in doubt. On Lincoln's Birthday the Vandals and Buccaneers play the second game for the South Jersey title. In the preliminary game the Hiwathas defeated the Swans, 38-15. Vandal (32) Position Carlisle (31) Howard f. E. Davis Albey f. Smith Lee c. R. Davis Freeman g. Jones Jackson g.

In basketball that has worked out with splendid results. Three years ago Bob Douglas, a colored sportsman, who had played basketball with the Spartans, a colored amateur team in Harlem, perhaps twelve years ago, decided that basketball could be made to appeal to Harlem's huge colored population. Douglas started the Renalsance Five, a team made up entirely of colored basketball stars. In three years his team has made tremendous strides. This season they have twice beaten the Original Celtics, holders of the mythical world's championship. Two team has become an institution in Harlem. The colored fans find in it a vent for their emotions and an outlet for their pride in race. Douglas has performed a really vital service for Harlem. He will be remembered long after the deeds of his team have been forgotten.

How Tom O'Rourke Got Square With Joe Choynski Some Interesting Incidents in the Lives of Two Colored Fighters, as Told by "Tad" in the Evening Journal One of the most spectacular fights in the history of the ring was the battle between Joe Walcott, welterweight champion, and Joe Choynski, the great light heavyweight, says T. A. Dornton (Tad) of the New York "Evening Journal." Walcott, weighing 145 pounds and standing but 5 feet 1 inch, knocked out the great Choynski, who stood 5 feet 11 inches and weighed about 170. You must remember, too, that it was this same Choynski who, years before, had fought twenty-five rounds with Jim Jeffries, had knocked out the great Jack Johnson In two rounds, and had floored during his career Bob Fitzsimmons, Kid McCoy, Jim Corbett and others too numerous to mention. Although the betting that night was 5 to 1 against him, Walcott, that marvelous darky, won that grudge fight with apparent ease. But let Tom O'Rourke tell you why the match was made in the first place and what the argument was all about. Here is what Tom has to say about the great fight: "The fight between George Dixon and Jack Skelly was the only stake fight in this country wherein a championship was involved and was for $5,000 a side. Senator Reynolds furnished the stake for Skelly. This contest was during the fighting carnival held by the Olympic Club of New Orleans September 5, 6 and 7, 1892, in which Jim Corbett won the championship from John L. Sullivan on the fifth in twenty-one rounds. Dixon held his championship by defeating Jack Skelly on the 6th in eight rounds, and Jack McAuliffe held his championship against Billy Myers in eleven rounds on the 7th, ending the greatest flatcarnival ever given in the history of the prize ring in this or any other country. To the present day the record has never been equalled. FIRST NEGRO TO BOX WHITE MAN IN SOUTH. "There were many occurrences of interest during this match with Skelly in the South, on account of Dixon's color. This was the first time one of his race had ventured below the Mason and Dixon line to fight a white man, and it was certainly taking chances, not from the club officials who were running the carnival, but from the bigoted class on the outside. During the contest this class hurled all kinds of vile remarks that they could think of at myself and the two young business men whom I asked to help me second Dixon. I never use any professional seconds, as they are mostly in the way. "Jack McAuliffe and Joe Choynski seconded Skelly. Parson Davies, my particular friend, asked me if I had any objection to Choynski seconding Skelly, as he could get $75 for it. I said 'No,' so Joe took his place as principal adviser to Skelly. The men were called to the center of the ring by John Duffy, the referee, for instructions. Choynski told the referee to watch Dixon during the progress of the fight, as he was a foul fighter. This was a dirty remark. As little Jimmy Barry said to Parson Davies when he and Choynski trained together, Choynski could show you more ways to whip a man and get whipped oftener than any fighter who ever lived." FINALLY GOT CHOYNSKI. "When Choynski made this remark Dixon burst out crying and asked Choynski if he had even seen him fight, and he said 'No.' Then Dixon said: 'Don't you think it hard enough on me, a colored man, to come South to fight a white man without you telling lies about me?' "Choynski sneaked away. I followed him and said: 'Joe, I will never forget you. I am going to get you whipped by a man in a manner which will be a disgrace to you.' "And I followed him, as the public knows, for five years with Waltcott, but Parson Davies and I, being the best of friends, saved Choynski until he left Davies' employ. Then I hunted him until he was driven and gracefully beaten by a welterweight, the betting being 5 to 1 against Waltcott. Choynski was knocked down for the count seven times in the first round. Waltcott won by a knockout in the seventh." Amateurs Continue to the Fore in Many Fistic Slamfests Here Dyet, of Salem-Crescent, Bows to Superior Skill of Casey Fighter, but Jackson, of St. Christopher, Brings Home the Bacon Jimmy Burns, of Astoria Casey Center, again showed his superiority over Jimmy Dyet, of the Salem-Crescent A. C. in a 128-pound class mill at the Astoria Casey Center last Friday night. He was awarded the decision after three fast rounds. Burns and Dyet had met in the Garden on two other occasions and in each case Burns had been returned the winner. Dyet still retained some doubt of the Astorian's ability to lick him and demanded another bout. Last Friday night's mill was the result. Burns used a left effectively, jabbing it to Dyet's head and slipping past his guard to bring up his right to the chin. Charley Curtis, another Astoria Casey lad, knocked out Jerry Brennan of St. Jerome's Catholic Club in the second session of their 125-pound class battle. Curtis withered the St. Jerome boy with a fierce body attack, finishing him with a left to the wind. Bill Leun, of the Astoria Caseys, dropped Frank Norton three times in their 135-pound class bout, but was unable to put him away. Norton went down twice in the second and once in the third. 112—Pound Class—Charley Duffin, Astoria Caseys, defeated Bobby Williams, Beecher's Club, four rounds, decision; Nick Antonell, Astoria Caseys, defeated Sarif Fertita, St. Lucy's, three rounds, decision; Jimmy Burns, Astoria Caseys, defeated Jimmy Dyet, Salem-Crescent A. C., three rounds, decision. 118—Pound Class—Eddie Reed, Wynn's Gym, knocked out William Brennan, St. Jerome's, second round. 128—Pound Class—Billy Clinton, Celtic A.

SYLVESTER JOHNSON COPS VICTORY Only two of the ten amateur houts in the show held by the Loughlin Lyceum in Greenpoint last week ended in knockouts. Sylvester Jackson, representing the St. Christopher Club of St. Philip's Parish, defeated Dan Napoll, unattached, in three rounds. Herman Heller of Beecher's Club scored the quickest victory of the event when he put James Joy, unattached, away in the second session. Heller tore in at the start Howard Basketball Team Making Swing Around the Eastern Circuit Howard Basketball Team Making Swing Around the Eastern Circuit Meeting Lincoln University at Big Orange Armory Feb. 22, and Will Appear in New York at Renaissance Casino Night After to Meet Alphas Auspices of NORTH JERSEY HOWARD ALUMNI CLUB At the ORANGE ARMORY, Centre and William Sts., Orange, N. J. MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 22, 1926 HOWARD'UNIVERSITY VARSITY (Blue and White) VS. The basketball team of Howard University is making the swing through the eastern circuit, and New Jersey and New York, which is included in the schedule, will get a chance to give the university players the once over in two big games. On the night of Feb. 22 the Washingtonians will line up against the crack Lincoln University quint at the Orange Armory, while the following night they will invade New York to attempt to defeat the Alpha Phi Alpha five in a game staged for the benefit of the scholarship fund of old Howard. Over in Orange the Howard-Lincoln game has already assumed large proportions and, as in days of old, it is expected that the armory will be taxed to capacity when Newark, Plainfield, Montclair, the Oranges and all the surrounding towns within striking distance of the best court in northern New Jersey send representatives to the biggest social event of the season in New Jersey. This writer can always tell when something out of the ordinary is on tap in the mosquito state. After an absence of months, J. Mercer Burrell arrived in town on Saturday night to add his quota of praise to those arranging this big treat in Orange for the 22nd. Here in the big city Howard will take the court against the players of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. This clash will take place at the Renaissance Casino on the night of the 23rd, and we make bold to assert that one of the finest gatherings of the season will be on hand long before the start of the game. On the whole, we feel that the holiday in this part of the country will be fittingly observed when those games are played as features before the most representative people of the race in the East. of the second frame and kept punging punches to Joy's head until the latter dropped after one minute and thirty-five seconds of milling in that frame. Mickey Pastore, unattached, sent Tommy Randl, unattached, to sleep in the third frame. Jim Gory, Ozanam battler, was awarded the decision over Frankle Napolaton after an extra round had been made necessary by a draw decision at the end of the third session. The summary: 369th Lost to Troy in 22-20 Game Crack Up-State Quintette Win Exciting, and Hard-Fought Game — Locals to Travel This Week. The 365th Anniversary Big Five lost the first game of the semi-final series of the New York National Guard tournament last Saturday night, when the 105th Infantry of Troy, N. Y., defended them by a score of 22-20. The 105th team, made up of a pick of up-State players, in addition to team work and accurate shooters, plentiful of beef, outweighing the colored boys man to man, but the opposition was stubborn and close guarding prevailed. The first half ended with the score 16-9 in the 105th favor and the second the tables turned, with the locals outcoring, but not overcoming the early lead of their opponents. Tomorrow night the 369th Five travels to West Point, where they meet the Cavalry Detachment Five, and Friday night play in Troy. N. Y., against the 369th Infantry in the second game of the semi-final series. Y. M. D. Alumni in Benefit Game To Play 369th Inf. Armory Five Next Tuesday Night —Game at 135th St. "Y" The Y. M. D.

Garden Black Bill Wins Over Manny Wexler at the Commonwealth Club Without Extending Himself, While Al Brown Drops an Unpopular Decision to Petrone, Which Could Just as Well Have Been a Draw That the majority of sport scribes of the metropolitan halves are just as fallible as other individuals in other walks of life can be seen in the attitude they have taken in reference to the showing of the unbeatable, at least so far, Chick Suggs at Madison Square Garden last Friday night. Although the colored lad won handily from Abe Goldstein, these scribes are inclined to base all opinions of his ability in the line showing in which they have had an opportunity to sit. Any man who could take the rough and tough Terry Marrion, of Providence, and handle him in the manner Chick Suggs did at the Commonwealth some time ago is a man to be considered seriously in the lattice art. But Sings' record is not only used on what he has done to such a range customer as Martin, but he a series of fights which would be a white prize fighter first claim or recognition at the hands of the markmakers. Looking down the one list of fifty victories piled up in such a comparatively short line, one finds practically the tistic line on that record. It is the contention of the white poet writers that Bushy Graham and Bill Taylor can "take" Sings. They used to say once that the poet of the pudding is in the eat. We haven't as yet heard of my expedition to the camp of Mr. Sings and Taylor. And as for the Philip Rosenberg, he would be as much chance with Sugs as would if paled with Jack Now there will continue to duck rugs as long as he holds the championship. It was not Tex Harden that placed Suggs at the top of the list in parking leaders in their various divisions, but Jess D'Mason, matchmaker at the Garion, who has been in a better position to set a line on the sensational New England fighter. If these players trying to belittle Suggs possess of his color would do their duty by the public and agitate for life between logical contenders all champions, they would be doing their duty by the public and all official fighters of merit would get our chance. sussex played with Goldstein like he plays with a mouse. From it's round to the last the customer at the Garden realized that a former champion was up up of his master and the only that we could see in the favor of him and not the Irish rose was away from the death dealing with his way which would be a knockout did any one take three land. Personally we feel that the showcase of the New England lad endured him to other "shots" at the exhibition, and those we believe he will as long as the present matador is in power. We are among those saying that Suggs another Dixon, but he is certainly the topmost of his class in box and time. As for Charlie the decision handed him and the player at the Commonwealth he must he was defeated by little fellow. That decision was of those things that leave an imminently odor in its wake and one that apparently did not add to the similarity of Rosenberg.

Had to weigh in at offices of Commission. Weighed in at quarter to five: 118½ pounds. Dinner at 6:30 P. M. Had not bath and rub. Repeated the dressing. At 7:30 P. M. Not a wink of sleep or rest. Improper nourishment. Worried almost to distraction. Under these circumstances, don't you think that Suggs did fairly well in his first appearance in the Garden by beating Abe Goldstein all the way? Al Brown Got 'The Works Against Petrone Saturday Black Bill Whips Manny Wexler, Who Staged Courageous Battle but Was Forced to Break Ground. Al Brown, made his debut as a banium before one of the largest crowds to sit in on the fights this season, announced. Dropping the decision which at its worst should have been a draw, in the final ten-round bout to Dominick Petrone, the Italian Harlemite. Brown had the best of the fight through the fourth and many rounds thereafter, but seemed to tire from that round on, when Petrone fashed to the front gallantly carrying the battle to his colored rival, but not with enough effort to have been worthy of the decision. As the bell sounded for the end of the bout, Petrone landed hard on Brown's claw, and Al's knees sagged, although he was ready to offset Petrone's charge. Domnick was given quite an ovation for his game uphill battle. 119 Petrone was one pound heavier than Brown. Black Bill, the wry little Cuban fly and bantam champ who now resides in Harlem, had an easy time copping the verdict from Manny Woxler, of the Bronx, in the seminal ten spot. Jones Wins from Sakamoto. Clyde Jones, the Atlanta featherweight, made a great showing in the first ten when he outpointed Jimmy Sakamoto, the Japanese entry, after ten fast rounds. Jones had Sakamoto missing freely with the Jap's high reputed right hand. Clyde used a left hook to good advantage, wumming it into Jimmy's face and softer that Sakamoto presented a sorry appearance at the end of the bout. Sakamoto weakened preceptibly in the eighth, but come back to make a final stand during the early part of the tenth canto, only to weaken and have Jones crowd him all over the ring. At 129, Jones was three pounds lighter than Sakamoto. Sparing no punches and rocking each other occasionally, Eddie McLoughlin, 148½, of the Bronx, and Eddie Roberts, 147½, of the West Side, slashed their way through the opening four rounder, with McLoughlin coping a close decision. Jack Denning, the efficient boxing coach of the City A. C., was the third man in the ring, while Bill Miliffe, the Bronxite, had his second workout as a judge, handing up the slips to Pete Prunty with Charles Dinges. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 10, 1926 The Sportive Spotlight A communique from the great Cumberland Posey brings the information that "Cum" is not satisfied for us to listen to tales anent his baseball activities. "Don't pay any attention to baseball stories," writes Cumberland, "my club is the highest paid aggregation of colored baseball players in the United States. And not on paper either. Satellite Girls of New York play in Homestead, February 20. Play them in New York February 27. Sorry I cannot accept your offer for Renaissance." considered; we are thinking of what Barnum said about them; would hearten unto the cry of the two or three writers who startte the ball rolling. And let this als prove, Mrrandy, that even though they are as one in many things they can all be wrong. Which one of them is right on the Color Question as it affects us? No, not one. And we are not singing about stars being in our crow either. First thing you know, sweetheart you will be calling the Chandle The latter part of Posey's announcement is a confession that Renaissance today sits at the top of the world, 'way above Loendi. No hard feelings "Cum." We know you would kick in but did not know how soon. Second victory over Celtics forced you to come through. Sorry we cannot see you on the diamond like we used to see you on the covered court. Mirandy Tattler, donning sack-cloth and ashes, is shedding tears of anguish because he thinks us newspaper fellers light too much. Now, it takes two to make a fuss and considering that we have not seen anything approaching a fight ever since the armistice was declared over with Yell. We did not, however, it is hard to get a line on the thought which prompted Mirandy to ask the world to gaze upon her as the only good child among us. Then too, when it is considered that a good fight, like a good retreat, is better than a bad, stand, dear old Mirail's contribution to his last week's Tittle, takes the place of that boxed in apology which ever reeks of the craven. And as for those O'fay writers getting together on a momentous question, we rise to ask when anything of great moment has occurred among our tribe that we were not one on, or that we did not intelligently differ on. We never and any question asked to the smoke ordinance which the Dook of Muldushon insists upon keeping on the book of rules in the face of the firm opinion of the newspapers. If one newspaper insists upon rooting out the parasites who feed upon the empty glory of their names adorning sheets to the disadvantage of those who care their livelihood by devoting their entire time and efforts to brining these journals of sundown time from the trough of deep despond. we are doing no more than is done among the people of every profession. This thing of jumping off on the side and playing here because you believe the people are going to think you are the only one is all wet. Yes sir, she just cooling plain every day salt water. When a good light is made the survivors will stand at the top of the world. And get the notion out of your head about "the people" not wanting to see a good fight. We brought the pages of a certain colored journal to the fore in one of the most beautiful staging one of the most heated combats with another Briggs. Ye Gods and little fishes. It certainly was inspiring to see the youth of the land running to get both sheets to see the poisoned darts and harpoons used each week. And so far as that right about smoking at Madison Square Garden is concerned, Mr. Rickard knew when he was having that one hundred and eighty thousand plant installed the rule was writ plain on the menu, and smoking at Madison Square Garden. He wont right ahead with his plains feeling that he was bigger than the Boxing Commission. Inodies of the theatre on the Great White Way you have got to sit in for two or three hours without snubbing. At all the boxing clubs in the state of New York are good. No Smoking. Simply because all the O'Fay papers are out against it doesn't alter the principle of the thing in the least. If the newspapers reflect public opinion then we as a race are in a bad way. They do no such thing. Many of them can perhaps MOLD public opinion, but that reflection thing is as wet as your stand in the matter. Mirnday. The newspaper must learn to cultivate respect for the law. It is no wonder that we see such great disrespect for such all over. One time these journals are advocating such, another time they are trying their darnest to arouse mob rule. And we are still smiling and enjoying Ms. Mirnday, which proves that we are among the number who would gladly enjoy a smoke while Tiker Flowers is hanging it heavy upon Ms. McTigue. But we believe in law and order. We can't smoke at the Commonwealth Club and we are satisfied to wait until we hit the air outside of Madison Square Garden. If an intelligent move had been made to rescind the law, Muldoon, who is old enough and wise enough to know that public opinion when aroused is something to be considered (note well we say to be --- considered; we are thinking of what Barnum said about them), would hearten unto the cry of the two or three writers who started the ball rolling. And let this also prove, Mirandy, that even though they are as one in many things they can all be wrong. One of them is it affords us? No, not one. And we are not singing about stars being in our crown either. First thing you know, sweetheart, you'll be calling the Chandler Owen-Chicago Whip affair a fight. "Taint no fight. Again we repeat it takes two to stage a combat. Chandler has hit the Whip and those running the Whip and those under the lash of the Whip with everything but the bucket and all they are doing is backing around the ring, groggy from punishment and looking for a soft spot, which they can reach hopefully, helping the Whip aurse? If the charms are true Owen is doing every newspaper in the country a great service. If they are not true, then let the Whip get busy and show us that much spoken of right uppercut. It started to snow again the other night and a wag came by and shouted: "Snow see!" Reminds us of the Chicago Defender which started to fight after the battle was all over. Picture of great lady on front page. Headlines stating other side of the story about how to dissect Gullible few defenders Defender only to find that the lady's reply is in the same class of that of the Chicago Whip when Owen smoothe them. Who wanted to hear about what the big white man thought? These folks around here want to know what anybody has to say after Mr. Boulton has made his bow. Tell 'em what. Oh, no. Mirandy, you are mistaken. This is just as much under the heading of sport as some of the timeworn stuff even we fish up to double column seven point type sometimes. We are here to comment on fights when such is announced. Chandler Owen is the middleweight champion of the world and going strong. Next we are supposed to report on running. Now, who made better time getting to Chicago than certain people too well known to waste space on Poulin names, eh. When Poulin sent the under path artists on their way, wasnt all records between New York and Chicago or some other unknown place broken? Ye. All. Under the head of the Sportive Spotlight: Some light too. Mirandy, it shines so bright even clouds of greenbacks cannot obscure our vision. Doing any pipe smoking, sen? I remind me of the night a white man stormed a little church in New Jersey when we were twenty-one or younger. Slightly. Don't mind that Adee thing a bit. We are growing old gracefully at least. A deacon leapt to the platform and in stewardian voice shouted: "Let us pray." Well, sir, the only man who got out without a sorrow was a brother who wielded a nasty shaving blade. He kept mumbling about praying after he got outside but he fought his way to the front. I know, Mirrany, that the Adee tool a sham at atting the door of the Amsterdam News, but to wint awake! If the member of persons who sent in compliments and brought them in personally were all under one roof and sent up a cheer for the Battler, you would come to the conclusion that old "Sassley" knew what he was talking about. Some fighter, this Kid Kelly. Never has been cantoned for foul fighting yet. Clean fighter. People want to read of his battles so bad Mrs. Warren now has two trucks and three special cars to take around the Amsterdam News. Well, in all seriousness, now, we all realize that today we are here and tomorrow we are gone. Something like the young man and his lady love who set him down hard and plenty when he thought he was going real strong. But while we are here we might as well let the world know that we are up and doing. Don't we give them cooies of news? And don't we dish it up in the way which they seem to like best. It is much better for the gang: to say he was a good fighter while he was here than that he was too conservative or had to be guided by those tall squares and all that he gave the paper known by the name of advertisements. Where we are personally concerned we would rather hear them say: *Sis—Bloom—A—h—h*.

Watchman Shot in Theatre Fight Feud With Colored Fireman Ends Almost Fatally at Mark Strand A feud between the colored stationary fireman and the watchman of the Mark Strand Theatre, Fulton street and Rockwell place, was most fatally settled early Monday morning, when Samuel Stanley, 22, of 459 Waverley avenue, the fireman, fired six shots at Owen Looman, 32, of 225 Warren street, the watchman. Although five of the shots found their mark in Looman's head, they inflicted only slight early wounds. According to the police, there had been life-fighting between the two for three months. Monday the men again had their mutual quarrels behind the stage of the theatre and Looman was using his guns with good effect. The first fight came to a sudden end and when Looman, in a 32-calibre revolver in the hand of Stanley, ran wildly through the theatre with the colored man diring close behind. Doane ran outside and found Patrolman Pries and Detective Reilly, of the Classon avenue station. He was taken to the Cumberland Street Hospital suffering from eight scab wounds. Arranged in the Gates avenue court, Stanley was held without bail on a charge of felonious assault for examination on Thursday. Two Arrested in Holdup Jerry Jones, 25, of 1901 Flod place, and William Baye, 25, of 291 Hudson avenue, both colored, were arrested early on Monday on charges of attempted robbery and assault, preferred by Frederick Burton, of 1546 Shore boulevard. Burton told the police the man dragged him into a dark hallway at 266 Hudson avenue, gazed him with a burial cloth and took $12 from his pockets. Jones and Baye denied the crime.

Ellis Haled Before County Court by Italian Joseph Ellis, 23, living on Prospect street, Jamaica, appeared last week in the Queens County Court before Judge Adel, charged with robbery, second degree. Ellis was arrested on the complaint of Louis Guardino, 73, who owing a fish store on South street, Jamaica. Guardino claims that on Dec. 26, Ellino entered his store ostensibly to buy fish, when he suddenly drew a five inch knife and placing it against Guardino's throat threatened to kill him if he did not immediately turn over all the money he had. Begging for his life, Guardino testified that he gave Ellis all he had, $22 and chango. When Ellis left, Guardino made an outcry which attracted Detective Kewdell of the Jamala precinct to the scene. Detective Kewdell pursuing Ellis claims that when he arrested him 15 minutes later, Ellis still had the money in his hand. Assistant District Attorney Suitman will continue the prosecution today.

Mr. Herbert Greene, of 108 Farrington street, is ill. The Amsterdam News is increasing in circulation in Flushing. Thanks to our many friends and lovers of a real NEGRO paper. Next Sunday, Feb. 14, is "Allen Day." The Sunday School of Macedonia A. M. E. Church will observe it. Rev. Alfred A. Medica and S. A. Walker will speak about "Rich and Alien." We are reliably informed the Civic League will soon be organized among our group. Rev. C. H. Carrington and Rev. Alfred A. Medica are the starters; get busy. Carrington and Medica are two good men. The colored people of Bayside will soon build a church. The prime mover, Rev. Snellon, says it is a fact; Snellon is progressive, why not believe it? Mrs. Ada Carter, of Brooklyn, N. Y., occupied the pulpit of Ebenezer Baptist Church last Sunday, Feb. 7, and preached awakening sermons. God bless, her.

But she did, Mrs. Griffins enjoyed the company of a very nice but very young "gentleman," also colored, whose acquaintance she made in Washington, where she had to change trains. Washington, where she said That was at 12:30. Thursday afternoon. While Mrs. Griffins was waiting for the train that was to bring her to New York, a somewhat excited young Negess rushed up to her. "Will you please hold my baby?" she pleaded, at the same time thrusting into the arms of the Griffins woman a colored baby boy about four months old. "I'm afraid I'll miss my train. I'm going to buy a ticket. I'll be right back," she hastily added and hurried toward the ticket office. She had been gone only a minute when the bell rang, signifying that the New York bound train was about to leave. Mrs. Griffins became somewhat flustered. She didn't want to miss the train.

Mrs. Leo Carn hurried through the snow late Wednesday with a huge tray to the Flushing Jail, where her husband was held in $2,000 ball. He had settled an argument with John Johnson over who should have a place nearest a move by striking Johnson on the head with a hammer. The aroma of food filled the station as she closed the door, holding the tray carefully. "I'm here to feed my man." she said as the assembled policemen gazed wistfully at the tray and inhaled appreciatively the aromatic aura surrounding it. "Let's see what you got for him," suggested a policeman, and, looking, he beheld pork sausages, baked potatoes, biscuits and coffee, all steaming temptingly, and a huge segment of cake no less enticing. "Oh!" said the policeman, swallowing hard but attempting to speak carelessly, "put it on the Lieutenant's desk." "I will not," Mrs. Carn replied indignantly. "These rations," she said significantly, "are for my husband." And her husband ate them, too. To Simplify the Street System in Jamaica Soon To simplify the street system in Jamaica section of Queens insofar as name and numbers are concerned Arthur Twombly, alderman from the 58th Election District, has had changed the name of the single thoroughfare known as Smith street, Bergen avenue, Merrick road and 166th street. The name selected is Merrick boulevard. The proposal was passed by the Board of Aldermen and duly went to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment from which body it was sent to the office of the Borough President to be incorporated in the city maps. The proposal was made by Alderman Twombly two weeks ago and has now been approved by the office of the Borough President so that Smith street-Bergen avenue Merrick road-166th street will become Merrick boulevard as soon as the street signs can be made and the proper changes made on the city maps. Alderman Twombly said the houses along Merrick boulevard will be renumbered in accordance with the new plan and that, in his opinion, the change in name and numbers on the houses along the street will be a step toward simplifying the community organization in this section of the borough.

Bradhurst 0678 "Seats all sold out; there is no more standing room," the ticket seller at the Mecca Auditorium yellow and yelled Sunday afternoon in hundreds of persons famished at the outer lobby and entrance, receiving admission to hear Roland Hines and, at the same time, the New York Symphony Orchestra. Over 1000 had already filled the seats at auditorium. When Mr. Hines appeared on the stage, following the Symphony performance of the "Pusan," the audience of Beethoven, it was obeyed by the applause for him that the audience had been nearly outrained until he came. Accepted by the Symphony, the number was Mozart's "Si Storma Sorte." In delivering the Negro spiritualist Hines exhibited his exceptional talent in the diminishing of his voice. After completing the group's spirituals, which included "Sit down," "Hoon" and "Deep Rewind" on minutes elapsed before the Symphony could render the number. Otto Kleemperer was the guest conductor. It was the fourth program that he has led since his arrival for a fortnight ago from Germany. Mr. Kleemperer's personal stage in the concert was limited to three works previously given under his baton at Carnegie Hall. How the art of the great tenor overhailed the other part of the concert was expressed by a number of musical critics. In speaking of Mr. Hayes, W. J. Henderson, dean of music critics, says: "The weather evidently disagreed with Mr. Hayes and his voice was not in its best estate. His admirable art, however, gave the usual pleasure to his hearers, who compelled him to repeat the second spiritual. The extraordinarily large audience was probably due to his popularity." Another crite says: "He sang purely and serenely, with true effectiveness, despite a tightening in the upper register. He was recalled time and time again, receiving a tremendous ovation from an overcrowded house." Leviticus Lyon to Give Recital Lentinus Lyon, tenor, will appear in a recital in Grace Congregational Church, 308 W. 193th street. Sunday afternoon, February 21. He will be accompanied by Lawrence Brown. Mr. Lyon's artistry has been highly praised everywhere he has sung. The program will commence at 4 o'clock.

Mrs. Brandon, who is the daughter of Mrs. Jessie Smith of Richmond and Roxbury, Va., was secretly married to Dr. Brandon, a dentist, here last July.

Station on complaint of Mrs. Mattle DeLow, 30 West 138th street, who charged he stole $1.05 from her. Policeman Matthews asked that the case be adjourned and said he would have fifteen complaintants appear there against Henry. He charged Henry had victimized many housewives. After she had paid the amount named, Mrs. DeLow became suspicious of the man and phoned her. Mrs. DeLow and her then phoned the insurance companies the man is alleged to have said he represented. Upon arriving the companies had no comment by the name of Henry, Mrs. DeLow notified the police. Policeman Matthews said his dissoner while on the way to the police station threw a list of fifteen ames and a bank book made out to I. Taube in an ashcan. Matthews retrieved them and produced them in court as evidence against Henry.

While paraking of the delicious seven-course meal, the fifty guests and members of the organization were thrilled with oratory and information concerning the great work in the community of Harlem toward making it a better place in which to live. Rev. George Frazier Miller of Brooklyn, N. Y., was toastmaster. Speakers included: Attorney Geo. E. Hall, Mrs. Bessie Beardon, Dr. J. P. Coleman, Attorney Stanley M. Douglas, Miss Olyne Mae Thomas, Mr. Charles Allison, Attorney Alan Dingle, Mr. S. J. Cottman, Rev. A. C. Garner, and Mr. E. Franklin Frazier. Then Attorney Myles A.

Costuma, leader of the 19th District, notifying him of the appointment of a committee of five to steer the Grenthal rent bill through the Legislature. It is not expected Mr. Costuma will appear before the committee to press his accusations against County Chairman Samuel S. Koenig, or that the committee will take decisive action on this resolution. At the January meeting of the County Committee Mr. Costuma said he had heard from members of the Legislature that the Grenthal bill, although it had been endorsed by the Republicans, had failed to pass because Mr. Koenig ordered it killed. The Grenthal bill provided that landlords must make repairs in conformity with the Sanitary Code or suffer the rent to be impounded. Mr. Costuma then demanded that the party discipline Mr. Koenig. CEILING FELL; WOMAN AWARDED $750 VERDICT For injuries sustained when a portion of the ceiling in her apartment at 574 St. Nicholas avenue fell, Mrs. Eusie Scott was awarded a verdict of $750 by a jury sitting in the Seventh District Municipal Court, Monday, against the Bennowitz Realty Co. of 539-41 Broadway. Mrs. Scott has previously offered to compromise her claim for $250, but the reality company, she says, refused. According to Mrs. Scott, the ceiling fell June 5, since which time the case has been heard five different times, the jury failing to reach a decision each time until Monday. parent disinterestedness of the people of the community in the local conditions which daily confront them. Dr. Charles Butler, president of the Citizens' Welfare Council and Forum, concluded the speaking program with a most interesting and impressive deliberation on plans for future work of the Council. He expressed a desire to bring about an international Negro industrial exposition to New York in the near future. Others present were: Miss Eva Doover, Dr. Farr, Miss Edith McAllister, McC. Alexander, Miss Alva Daves, Mr. Day, Mr. G. Hadwin, Dr. C. A. Green, Mrs. S. E. Gardner, Dr. Thornton, Mr. B. Day, Miss Marion Moore, Mr. and Mrs. T. Porter, Miss C.

Hartgrove as counsel for the Hudson County Board of Health was held in Jersey City last week. Hartgrove called upon the citizens to mobilize their political influence against Mayor Hague. Differences between the Mayor and Commissioner John Saul is said to be the sole reason for several recent office shake-ups in the city government. It originally was believed that this action was a challenge from Mayor Hague to Governor Moore. Now it is said that the disturbance is merely interdepartmental and the outing of several of Governor Moore's friends from the city offices is not a slap at the Governor, but an effort on the part of Mr Saul to assert his own independence in the face of the Mayor. Hartgrove is a Democrat. DR. JULIA COLEMAN HALED TO COURT Falling to furnish sufficient heat to her tenants, Dr. Julia Coleman was summoned to the Washington Holights Court Thursday by Mrs. Eva Reynolds, 11S West 130th street. Magistrate Flood adjourned the case for one week. NOTICE WE REPAIR FOUNTAIN PENS EQUAL TO NEW WHILE YOU WAIT LENOX PEN HOSPITAL 541 LENOX AVENUE Corner 137th St. New York Deposed Bishop Brown and Darrow to Speak in Harlem on Friday Deposed Bishop Brown and Darrow to Speak in Harlem on Friday Invited by Committee of Churchmen to Be Lincoln's Birthday Orators To Tell of the Newer Emancipation On the afternoon of Lincoln's Birthday the colored people of Harlem will have an opportunity of hearing the Right Reverend Bishop William Montgomery Brown, who has caused so much heart-fluttering in the House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Bishop Brown comes to Harlem at the invitation of a committee of colored laymen, representing the A. M. E., A. M. E. Zion, C. M. E., Baptist, Presbyterian, Adventist and African Orthodox churches, and will deliver at St. Luke's Hall, 125 West 139th street, a sensational address on "The New Emancipation of the Negro." Clarence Darrow of Chicago, the famous lawyer who defended Dr. Sweet, is scheduled to introduce the Bishop. "The Crucial Race Question." Bishop Brown's book on the Negro, caused a great furore in the Episcopal Church some years ago, when, as Bishop of Arkansas, he advocated the creation of independent Negro bishops. To-day, with the added prestige of being also a bishop of the Old Catholic Church, he comes to Harlem to maintain the doctrine of the substantial equality of the Negro—with one important reservation. he holds that, in religion, the Negro will always be superior to the white man; and suggests that Negroes should test out the sincerity of white Christians by going in large numbers (and as a regular thing); to Bishop Manning's cathedral to worship God and consecrate the building with the presence of real believers in Christ. He himself is willing to go and worship with them. Denominational differences, the Bishop argues, should be no bar, since Bishop Manning has repeatedly declared, when appealing for funds, that the cathedral is the church of all the people of New York, irrespective of creed. Bishop Brown's stand on the color question is all the more amazing because of the fact that he is a Southern white man. Dr. Hubert H. Harrison, author and lecturer of the New York Board of Education, has been asked by the committee to preside at the meeting, which is set for 3 o'clock. As chairman, Dr. Harrison will not only introduce the two famous speakers, but will also real the Enunciation Proclamation, with informative explanations and comments. Madame Marie Barrier Houston will render several sonrano solos and Archbishop George Alexander Mcquaire of the African Orthodox Church will offer the invocation. Garvey Must Serve More Time in Prison WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. S.—President Collidge denied last Thursday the plea of Marcus Garvey for clemency. Garvey requested that his sentence be commuted so he might be deported, but asked permission to remain in this country 90 days after it's release to transport "important business." Assistant Secretary of Labor Husband denied the request for freedom for any period unless exceedingly "important business" requiring Garvey's attention should be proved. Department of Justice officials said President Collidge's denial was based on the opinion that Garvey had not served a sufficient portion of his sentence to justify release. Ordinarily, the service of one-third of the term is required before the President will grant commutation. Reports that the British Government had protested against, sending Garvey to the West Indies could not be confirmed.

Butler was later found guilty. The verdict carries the death sentence and he will be hanged here Feb. 26. Five hundred spectators, allowed in the court room for the trial, which began this morning, were held for a half-hour while Butler was taken to jail, seventy-five miles away, in order that no news of the verdict might reach the thousands who surrounded the barbed wire entanglements about the building. As the news of the verdict of "gulley" was made known a murmur arose from the blood-thirsty throng. Butler pleaded not guilty to the attack on the girl and Mrs. Neal. The woman was in court with her husband to testify against Butler, but the child was still in the hospital recovering from a fracture of the skull. The parents of the child told of seizing Butler going toward their home while they were visiting the farm of James M. Wiley, by whom they are employed. They told of finding the little girl in the woods near by when they returned home and started a search. Butler went on the stand early in the afternoon, and in spite of his plea of not guilty admitted the crime, but denied he had been intoxicated as charged in the indictment. His counsel told the Court: "We want justice; we won't go so far as to beg for mercy for him." The Judge then presented his charge and the jury returned its verdict after a few minutes' deliberation. Rv EDWARD LEWIS, AGE 11. Listen, boys, don't forget that Troop 774 is going to have a ministrel show on February 18 at Grace Congregational Church, 139th street near Eighth avenue. Adults tickets 25 cents, children 15 cents. The show will be very interesting and very funny. Boys, bring your mothers. The names of the boys participating in the show will be published next week. The show is in charge of Scout John Finney and Scoutmaster Marshall, both of Troop 774. Oh, boys, you should have been where I was Tuesday night. Troop 786 had a party at the Harlem Takan Church. When those eats were passed around, you could hear months smacking for two blocks away. All the members were there that night because you know where the eats are there all the fellows are bound to be. Boys, would you believe it but the Scoutmaster was just as bad as the boys with those eats. Boy Scout Troop 776 will have a scout party on February 15th. Medals will be awarded to the boys who have done their duty during the year of 1925. William M. Cotts is scoutmaster. Scoutmasters and boy scouts who have any news concerning boy scouts should send it to Edward Lewis, Editorial Department of The Amsterdam News, 2293 Seventh avenue. All boy scouts who have no suitcase and wish them by the end of February should also write to Scout Lewis at the same address. Operation Patient Runs Out in Snow All might have gone well, but the doctor ran a rubber gloved finger along the edge of a bright, shiny knife. George Washington, of Bayonne, strapped to the operating table in St. Gerald's Hospital, 476 South 12th street. Thursday twisted his head and saw the knife. Before the nurses could pick up an ether can they were looking with blinking eyes at an empty operating table with vibrating broken straps. From the hall came sounds of feet touching an occasional step. Orderlies gave chase. George Washington's bare feet threw snow in their faces as he leaped through the storm. Two blocks down Bloomfield avenue they tripped him. But even a roll in the snow did not cure his hot anxiety. When the orderlies promised to call off the operation George went back. "Cold?" he said when he got back to the hospital after his trip through the snow. "I was cold when I started out. I was just frozen with cold when I saw that knife." "BLACK CHRIST" GETS SENTENCE OF DEATH BROKEN HILL, Northern Rhodesia, South Africa, Feb 5.—An African Jesiah known as the "Black Christ," and one of his disciples have been sentenced to death and 25 others to lashings and imprisonment for the baptismal drowning of 22 converts to the sect. They were charged with baptizing hundreds of converts by a ceremony of total immersion. EN Unions Draw Color Lines (Continued from Page 3.) or a powerful weapon in the times of labor troubles was emphasized in the discussions that followed. A. J. Portenorm, chief mediator of the New York State Department of Labor, suggested that the Negro workers use the strike-breaking method as a means of forcing recognition from the organized labor groups which exclude him from membership. "This is an unpleasant way of getting the recognition that ought to be accorded but it may be the only solution to one of the Negro's greatest economic problems," he declared. At the afternoon session on Thursday, the need for more and better trade training, as well as increased cultural training, was stressed by John W. Davis, President of the West Virginia College Institute, Institute, W. V. F. D. Bluford, President of the A. T. College, Greensboro, N. C. and Mrs. Gertrude E. McDougald, Assistant Principal, Public School St. New York City, "The Negro professional man cannot long expect to wear a white collar unless everything possible is done to increase the industrial opportunities of the Negro workman," said Mr. Davis. The Negro professional class cannot expect to prosper while it casts aspersions on the lapping element. At the Thursday evening session police Commissioner George V. McLaughlin created a big subject for discussion when he attacked the black and tan" cabarets in Harbor. "I would like to see every young colored boy and girl belong to some church and connected with some school organization," the Commission said. "Let the older people stay away, and if the young people want to do the Charleston, let them. Our group leaders are too much inclined to impose their ideas on youth, and when this happens, they tabel as Elin MacKay rebelled." Mr. McLaughlin decried the number of white visitors who go to Harlem on slumming parties, calling them "trouble makers" and tools who could think of no better way of spending their money." He advised Negroes to "play ball" if they wanted to get ahead in industry, rather than become strikebreakers. The opening session was devoted to the present day problems of social life as they affect the Negro Walter W. Pettit. Assistant Director of the New York School of Social Work, outlined, the general problem of the present day social work. He declared that the tendency has been to lay great emphasis on the size of buildings, the amount of budget and endowment and the number of persons served rather than on the efficiency of the readjustments to normal life that have been made. It is on the latter phase that we must concentrate the delegates were told. E. Franklin Frazier, Director of the Atlanta School of Social Work, presented the problems with which the Negro is faced today while programs to meet these needs were discussed by Forrester B. Washington, Director of the Philadelphia Armstrong Association, and J. Marshall Ragland, Secretary of the Louisville Urban League. Mayor Walker plodged active support to the activities of the League, in welcoming in the eve TWO MEN HELD AS NUMBER PLAYERS Two men were held in $10,000 bail each for the Grand Jury by Magistrate Julius Wiel in the Washington Heights Court Monday, on a charge of having policy slips in their possession.

The Mayor said the city was indebted to their organization for constructive work for the entire city. He declared that he had done nothing for the colored people, but was quick to add that he had done a great deal for all the people of the city without any discrimination. "The unnecessary discrimination that has persisted altogether too long in some parts of the country can't obtain in this city," he said. "We will have no talk of races or creeds here." Mayor Walker said that the greatest thing about New York was its liberality, calling it "the town of fair play," and promised to try to give its colored population the same opportunities that he, the son of an immigrant, had received. Addresses were also made by L. Hollingworth Wood, National President of the Urban League; Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown, Principal of the Palmer Memorial Institute, Sedalia, N. C.; E. A. Carter, Secretary of the St. Paul Urban League; William Pleckens, Field Secretary of the National Advancement Association, and T.

Morton, Municipal Civil Service Comissioner of New York, and the Reverend James B. Adams, Pastor of the Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. presided of the sessions.

Mid-Winter in Washington THE capital city's 1926 midwinter cannot be said to be void of thrills. The anti-lynching bill, the Virgin Islands bill, and the Negro Industrial Commission bill are all pending in Congress; the public schools system is in the midst of one of its famous eruptions, caused by the demotion of Captain Arthur C. Newman, principal of Armstrong High School and World War hero; "Bob" Church of Tennessee has been around town several days (and you know everybody sits up and takes notice when "Bob" comes to town); D. Hamilton Jackson, Jean Hestrea and H. Berg, Colonial Councilmen from the Virgin Islands, were received by the President last Wednesday; the race between Jim Cobb, R. R. Horner and L. Melendez King to succeed Judge Terrell in the Municipal Court is becoming fast and furious; and the women's organizations, aided by such leaders as Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. Theresa L. Connelly, Miss Jeanette Carter and Miss Hallio Q. Brown, are holding a series of meetings for the very definite and laudable purpose of getting together. Outside of these activities "Five Hundred" and "Bridge Whist" have a clean sweep. Washington is a peculiar city. Ranking well up with Boston as a city of culture, exceeding the Hub City in national critics, having a large migrant class of intelligentsia which vie with the "Oldest inhabitants" for supremacy, Washington presents a racial spectacle of 110,000 colored people who run the world, so far as the "Hot Stove League" is concerned. The chief indoor sport in the Capital is em- Frequent Bilious Attacks "I suffered with severe bilious attacks that came on two or three times each month," says Mr. J. P. Nevins, of Lawrenceburg, Ky. "I would get nauseated. I would have dizziness and couldn't work. I would take pills until I was worn-out with them. I didn't seem to get relief. "A neighbor told me of and I began its use. I never have found so much relief as it gave me. I would not be without it. It seemed to cleanse my whole system and made me feel like new. I would take a few doses—get rid of the bile and have my usual clear head, feel full of pep, and could do twice the work." Bilious attacks are "seasonal" with many people. Millions have taken Theodore's Black-Draught to ward off such attacks, and the good results they have reported should induce you to try it.

Judge Edward W. Henry RECENTLY we spent an interesting hour in the court room of Judge Edward W. Henry of Philadelphia. The genial dispenser of justice was at his beat, with a discerning eye and a keenly analytical mind, as he separated the "sheep" from the "goats." He seemed to know when to smile, when to be stern and when to be a blank. When the kiddies or mother were greatly imperiled by an offender's conduct or the fine which it accrued, the Judge seemed to know how to render justice to all, and stay within the law to the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. After all, we say frankly, as a member of the Bar, that the American system of jurisprudence, as developed from the model of the English Courts, is a marvel of perfection in the democracy of jurisprudence. Before the American Bar, each offender has a full day in Court, subject to considerations which always give him the benefit of the doubler. Judge Henry, with the aid of Forrester B. Washington, Executive Secretary of the Armstrong Association, has inaugurated a social welfare system in his Court, which permits intensive moral and employment assistance in worthy cases.

St. James' Church was organized by the Presbytery of New York, April 26, 1895, and incorporated in one of the same year. Shiloh had one out of existence before this it was possible that a number of shiloh members were among the organizers of St. James, but it certainly was not a split. When the founder, Rev. P. Buter Thompkins, took charge, this congregation had no church edice. It worshipped in a hall in the same building with a stable. the ventilation was poor and the ent was high. But it cost $50,000 to buy a new church, and $50,000 in the nineteenth century was a abulous amount of money to raise. Nov. Thompkins raised it, but he sacrificed his life in doing so. According to his son, Dr. Thompkins could leave the house morning after arming without breakfast and aturn at night without having eaten all day. Week after week did month after month of such self-scrificing the fund was ready or the purchase of the church. But, like David of old, God did not permit Dr. Thompkins to build, be perfected all plans and left everything intact for his successor, Dr. Butler. Dr. Thompkins did not live to see the first fruits of its labor. Continued illness forced him to save for Asheville, N. C., to enter a sanitarium, and he died while here. Like Paul, he had finished its work and was ready to be offered up. So passed the founder St. James' Presbyterian Church. On one corner of the organ of he present St. James' Church there stands a tablet in honor of his man who fought a good fight. Mother Zion Church Services at Mother Zlon Church were well attended on Sunday, ch. 7. Dr. J. W. Brown preached at 11 a.m., using as his subject What the Church Needs Today.

Interracial Report Sent on Request MILANIA. Ga. Feb. — 4 copy of "Progress in Race Relations" the annual report of the Interracial Movement in the South, will present on request to any person interested, according to an announcement from the headquarters of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, 409 Palmer Building, this city. The Commission, says the announcement, is not only killing but anxious that every person desirous of knowing more about the movement shall have the report, and invites all such to write for it, together with additional handbells on the subject. The report, a 16-page booklet, contains a brief but comprehensive survey of interracial activi- leg and achievements, the names and addresses of the members of the Commission, estimates of its rolk by President Coolidge and Secretary Hoover, and also an excellent photograph of the late Mrs. Booker T. Washington, who till per death was a valued member of the organization. 1914 REV. PIERCE BUTLER TOMPKINS, the first pastor of St. James' Presbyterian Church, after graduating from Lincoln University, came to New York and entered Union Theological Seminary to prepare for the ministry. It was while he was a student that he began to do missionary work, both in Englewood, N. J., and in New York City. As a result of his efforts, the Englewood Mission grew rapidly and finally became a Presbyterian church, which still exists in that city. The work in New York City was much harder. Nevertheless, he gathered together a few persons and formed a mission, which was located on the site where Ginibela' stone now stands. Once the mission was organized it grew rapidly, and the Rev. Thomphils made application to the Presbytery of New York to organize a new church, as the following newspaper clipping shows: "In April, 1855, the Presbytery organized a new church in West 32d street, Rev. P. B. Thompkins was called to its pastorate. This new plant is in a very healthy condition. It is well officered. Forty-four members have been added during the past year. The church has collected $1,400 toward its support during the past year. The members feel greatly encouraged. They are looking forward with joy and gladness to their first anniversary, which will begin on Friday evening, April 24. "Hitherto hath the Lord helped us." This new church had no connection with Shiloh Presbyterian Church, as will clearly be seen from the following newspaper clipping: "In 1891 the Presbytery dissolved Shiloh Church. Many reasons have been attributed for its dissolution. From a careful study, beginning with its birth and ending at its grave, I am constrained to say that Shiloh Church fell because of internal dissension. "All of her ministers were highly educated Christian gentlemen. Her first pastor, Rev. Dr. Cornish, was among the greatest of Christian scholars of his day, Rev. T. S. Wright was a graduate from Princeton, the first and only Negro to over graduate from Princeton College. Rev. Dr. Pennington was a graduate from Heidelberg, Germany, and in 1840 had the degrees of D.D. conferred upon him by his alma mater. Rev. Dr. Garnet was a man of rare ability. President Garfield's last official act was to sign Dr. Garnet's commission as Minister to Liberla. Rev. William T. Carr was an excellent scholar, a pious, energetic, Christian gentleman." NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 10, 1926 Old and New Fraternalism By W. H. WILLIS S.V.C. of Knights of Pythias, E.W.H. In writing on this subject which is dear to the hearts, and to my mind one of the salvations of the Negro race, my lodge, with its peculiar raps, secret password, mysterious hailing, signs that are only recognized by a brother, instilled confidence and reverence in the old-time fraternal man — a pleasure, I venture to say, in this day that is foreign to the modern fraternal man. It is a sacrifice to modernism. In the nineteenth century, when Masons, Odd Fellows and Pythianism were acquired by our group, great was the achievement, high the honor when a candidate had succeeded in passing their portals. I assure you that almost every member of these branches had as a child embraced the Good Samaritans, which was the badge of Honor among children, whose next step at the proper age of 21 was to select one of these orders as their guide and protector. day members deserves no consideration and should be immediately suspended when caught. In every large city with its immigrants from the southland, special effort should be made to gather the strange brother within the folds of his order if he is a fraternal man. Every man, whether of a family or single, should for his own or family's protection belong to some fraternity. In many instances they are of great value. Next to the church was his lodge, which after all is a continuation of the foundation of the church. It was in these times the Solemn duty of a brother to visit and sit up with the slick, if necessary, do anything personally he could for the relief and comfort of a needy brother. It was a pleasant inspiration to have the report read in the lodge of the comfort and relief given to a brother, not in dollars and cents, but in carrying out the fraternal obligations of the Order, which was, and is now the foundation of all fraternalism—Brotherly Love. I cannot: but say that it with deep regret that we all note the passing of these close fraternal ties and obligations, caused by custom and economic conditions, which fraternalism must acknowledge and bow to, especially in the northern cities, with their modern hospitals and other institutions. But no true fraternal members should allow himself to be jailed to sleep on their fraternal duties. True, greater consideration is now given to actual financial benefits, owing to the economical conditions under which we live. Visiting the sick in their home in serious illness is now of very short duration. Consequently a strong fraternal connection is gone. The increase in lodge dues, with the increase in benefits, has eliminated the professional joiner, one of the old nests who would brag in one lodge about belonging to seventeen other lodges. At this day and time two or three societies is about all the fraternal assurance one person can carry and he must be very careful about getting unfinancial. Dues must be paid promptly to give the relief necessary. Present day lodges are more prompt in suspending members for non-payment of dues. Bookkeeping among societies is more accurate now than ever. Big lodges have their accounts audited annually; officers are bonded by bonding companies, who will prosecute the dishonest and have removed from office incompetent secretaries. How these innovations would shock old-timers. Along with the payment of larger sick aid, there are cases of fraud abetted by unscrupulous physicians, who for a consideration will write certificates of illness.

ALEX 99 DOWNING ST. 15 white men convicted of mob violence last September at a hearing in the office of Robert R. Reynolds, Asheville attorney, who is acting for the prisoners. The mob stormed the Bancombe County jail when Alvin Mansel, since sentenced to die for criminal assault on a white woman, was confined there last September. Before the presentation of the petitions, one signed by the convicted members themselves and the defendant, the Bancombe County, the Pardon Commissioner, was introduced to the families of the sentenced men by Mr. Reynolds. Mr. Sink made a short preliminary talk. "It is not my province or the province of the Governor," he said, "to retry these cases. That rests with the higher courts. What happened the night the fall was stormed is water that has passed the millwheel and I can listen only to those factions that have come to light here to investigate this case, but I shall hear what these people have to say in order to save them a trip to Fallah." In presenting the positions to the Pardon Commissioner, Mr Reynolds recounted the circumstances that attended the storming of the Buncombe County jail when Mansell was confined there. He wrote the mug in that mob are already sufficiently punished and, with all due respect to the court that tried them, I want to say that I believe some of the sentences were too long" said the attorney. He went on to assert that he has in his possession a letter from him to the judge that tried the case of the mob "asking the Governor for a parole of these prisoners or that their sentences be materially cut." NARCOTIC SQUAD HAS PAIR HELD James Brown, 488 Lenox avenue, was held in $10,000 bail by Magistrate Julius Wiel in the Washington Halights Court Monday on a charge of having narcotics in his possession. William John, 29, 101 W. 140th street, was held in $5,000 bail on the same charge. Officers of the Narcotics Bureau testified that they found a large quantity of white powder in the dumbwasser of Brown's apartment. The authorities an opportunity to have the powder analyzed.

It looked like nothing would save her that had been done. CARDUI For Female Troubles "I knew that Cardul was for women. I decided to try it for her as all else had failed. She couldn't eat, she couldn't sleep, and I was desperate. "After taking a few doses of Cardui, we were so glad to note that she wanted something to eat, and with each bit of nourishment, and each day's doses of Cardui, she grew stronger and got up out of bed. She is now able to cook, and stronger than in a long time." ```markdown ``` Under Ground TREASURES HOW and WHERE TO FIND THEM A Secret you should know. It may mean a fortune to you. FREE particulars.

EXANDER BROOKLYN, N. Y. Durham Business League Membership Drive Yields 1,100 Members in 3 Days DURHAM, N. C. Feb. 1.—Durham, the City of Surprises, has demonstrated once more the power of co-operative effort. The Durham Branch of National Negro Business League on Thursday night, January 28th, completed a three-day whirlwind campaign for new members and hung up a national record in Business League circles with 1,100 paid memberships for 1926. This bustling city conducted a veritable crusade during the drive period, under the masterly direction of Prof. W. G. Pearson, who was assisted by League officials and twenty teams of two men each, who scoured every ward and precinct of the city and brought in this astonishing total. The plans for the Campaign were worked out with great completeness and written assignments to teams and League officers made the task comparatively easy. All of the business men was well as the ministry and representatives of every trade and profession, did actual canvassing and made each day's quota a guarantee of the final goal. During the month of December, while the Campaign plans were being worked out, the League distributed six-page folders, calling attention to Branch accomplishments in 1936, and asking for a $1,700 Budget for 1928. On the Sunday night, the Minute-mon were dispatched to every church in the city for five-minute appeals in behalf of the program, reaching approximately 7,000 people. A sharp change in the weather Sunday night presented a snow-covered earth on Monday morning and seriously threatened the program because of a constant fall of snow and ice on the teams met at dinner Monday night and decided to let nothing stop the Campaign. All of the team members subscribed to Life Memberships at $10 each, and the dinner was a great success. Promptly at 10:30 on Tuesday morning the teams met at League headquarters, secured membership, and received Rev. A. H. Midgette, having offered prayer for the success of the Campaign, they began their assignments at 11 o'clock. Three loving cups which were offered to the teams securing the three highest number of memberships were won by Team No. 15, W. W. Page and R. L. McDougall; Team No. 6, Dr. S. L. Warren and E. R. Merrick, and Team No. 12, Ed Green and M. Gomes, who reported their positions and competencies respectively. Prof. W. G. Pearson, Campaign Director, was assigned to corporations exclusively and reported a total of 425 multiple memberships from 12 corporations and business institutions. In addition to these cash totals, there are more than 500 pledge cards which were brought in by the teams from citizens who will pay later in the year. It is apparent that the League of 1,500 before the summer, and will collect for the 1926 Budget more than $3,000. The membership, prior to the Drive, had been about 200. Features of the drive were an exhibit of the North Carolina Mutual, consisting of a miniature wood fibre model of its seven-story building, with a complete scenic background of churches, homes, factories, etc., representing the City of Durham, which was disbanded in 1971. The Farmers Bank during the drive period; an 8:30 breakfast of the teams on Thursday morning at which the Campaign Director crooked wild applause when he announced the results of his canvass of the corporations; and "Open Territory" day, which was Thursday, the last day of the drive. There had been reserved as open territory, several choice blocks where the selling of memberships was left open for a free-for-all engagement, after all teams had finished their respective assignments. The officers of the Durham Branch are: Geo. W. Cox, president; H. M. Michaux, vice-president; Atty. R. McCants Andrews, secretary; James H. Balloy, Jr. assistant secretary; J. C. Scarborough, treasurer; E. R. Merrick, budget manager, and Miss Annie L. Allen, stenographer. The 20 teamsicipating were as follows: T. L. Reynolds; No. 2. A. Spears and L. B. Lyumn; No. 3.

The fire companies in this city responded to six alarms before the fire was checked. School Heads Deny Armstrong Shake-Up WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 8.—To put an end to runners spread broadcast among teachers in senior and junior high schools, of wholesale transfers to and from the Armstrong School, a definite statement of policy of the school administration was made Thursday to build up the Armstrong organization without tearing down that of any other school.

Victory Life Ins. Stockholders Meet Dr. C. B. Powell and John W. Duncan Put on Board CHICAGO, IL., Feb. 1.—(Special) —The second annual meeting of the stockholders of Victory Life Insurance Company was held at the Home Office, 3821 South State Street, Chicago, January 27. The meeting was held for the purpose of hearing the annual reports of the officers of the Company, for the election of directors for the ensuing year and particularly for the purpose of increasing the capital stock. The report of the President, Anthony Overton, showed that the Company had been licensed in the States of West Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, Maryland, Texas, Kentucky, New Jersey and the District of Michigan. The Company is accredited in these states reported a premium income of $54,000 which was more than three times the premium income for the previous year. His report showed five additional real estate loans during the year, making the total loans of the Company more than $130,000 to date. All of those investments have been made on property owned by people, properly appraised by the Illinois Insurance Department. The report of the President dealt at length with the large number of people who have interested themselves financially in the Company in the states in which the Company has been licensed to do business. The Company is planning, as well, additional offices and it is probable that licenses for the security of other states in which the business will prove particularly profitable, both for the agents located in these places, and for the Company.

Jury Convicts Man But Ask Clemency (Preston News Service) Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 8. —The mercy of the court in imposing sentence was asked by the Wake County jury that convicted Henry Johnson, janitor of the Capital Apartments, of manlaughter for fatally shooting Dock Brewer on September 15. The main facts about the homicide were told. Brewer had told his wife, who lived at 413 East Worth street, that he was going to Durham. She notified that she sent a note to Henry Johnson asking him to come to her home. He did so. Dock Brewer returned to his home unannounced to find Henry Johnson out on the porch with his wife. He opened fire with an auto-abortant, who returned the fire. We were hit in the exchange of shots, but Brewer got the worst of it. House Measure Enables the Institution to Receive Federal Appropriations in the Regular Way WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb. 1.—A hearing on the bill to amend the charter or Howard University was held Wednesday, January 27, by the Committee on Education of House of Representatives, of which Hon. Daniel A. Reid, of New York, is chairman. For several years in the House of Representatives the point of order has been raised against appropriations for Howard University as carried in the Interior Department. Supply Bill on the grounds that they were not authorized in substantive law, they do away with practice each year. Representative Louis C. Crompton who handles the Interior Department Bill, introduced the Howard University Bill, which has the hearty support of the administration and, it is believed, a big majority in both Houses of Congress. At the hearing held Wednesday, January 27, Mr. Cramton as sponsor of the bill, explained to the committee that this legislation is needed to ensure that the annual appropriations for Howard University "authorized" as for other Government establishments. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, President of Howard University, and Dr. Emnett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of that institution, also appeared and presented in full details the claims of the university upon the Government for support which was made in 1578. This war was a sympathetic one. On Friday, January 29, the Committee on Education was again assembled and a favorable report on the bill to the House of Representatives was ordered by the Committee on Education. This legislation, if passed by both Houses of Congress, will frustrate effort with annual manpower increases in appropriations for Howard University on the point of order against the Interior Department Appropriation Bill.

Auto Roads in Interior Congo The swamps and jungles of the interior of Belgian Congo are being traversed by modern auto roads and by numerous bridges, according to Dr. John M. Springer, missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Elisabethville, Africa, who has just returned to New York on furlough after twenty years in the heart of Africa. "Just before we left Africa Mrs. Springer and I made a trip of inspection of the mission stations of Interior Congo, covering much the same territory as we did on a trip eight years ago," says Mr. Springer. "At that time we waded in swamp from day to day along my pace. This time we waded through the same swamp in luxury at 20 hours in our Ford. We could have gone faster if it were not for the number of bridges. We covered a total distance of 750 miles by car. By the caravan of a few years ago that trip would have taken us three or four months. From Kapanga to Sandoa is a five days' trek. From Sandoa to Muzumba Station is 120 miles, with one big river to be crossed on a pontoon, and 85 other bridges to be gotten over, but we made whole trip in one day, despite swamps, bridges and canyons hills.

Feb. 1.—Primary responsibility or assistance in fifty or more educational projects, the improvement of facilities for travel, the provision of parks, playgrounds, rest rooms, and other public utilities, aid in averting threatened mob violence, conferences with city officials in the interest of more humane treatment of Negroes, and the extension of legal aid in a number of cases—these were among the activities re-legated by Secretary J. D. Burton and Robert E. Clay to the State Interracial Committee in session here today. Among the educational achievements were a legislative appropriation of $100,000 secured for the State A. & M. College, assistance in enactment of uniform eight-months' school law for all schools meeting certain conditions, irrespective of color, seventeen county conferences on educational needs, the lengthening of school terms, the raising of salaries, and the erection of scores of new school buildings. The school expressed great measure with the year's work and tendered the secretaries a vote of thanks and expressions. Reports were heard also relative to certain unfavorable conditions which persist and plans were formulated for their improvement. Among the objectives deeded upon by the committee were the following: Adequate high school facilities for colored children, which require new high schools in many counties, increase of teachers' salaries in counties where they are still too low, a state institution for African-American students, a protective Negro children, full legal protection and justice in the courses, and fuller provisions for comfortable railroad travel. The meeting was attended by sixty public spirted men and women, among whom the following representatives of the colored group were noted: Chairman, W. J. Hale; Secretary, Robert E. Clary; E. J. Hale; Harvey H. C. C. Miller; J. A. Lester, recording secretary of the committee; Rev. Preston Taylor, M. L. Morrison, Dr. DeMonde, Bishop I. B. Scott, T. W. Tullery, C. L. McAllister, Mrs. M. L. Crossthite, chairman of Colored Woman's Division; Mrs. J. F. Pierce, vice-chairman; Mrs. R. S. White, secretary-secretary; Mrs. W. R. White, chairman; Mrs. J. F. Lane, Dr. Mattie Coleman and Mrs. J.

South African Assembly Passes Color Bar Bill CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Jan. 28—By a majority of one vote the House of Assembly today passed the first reading of the Color Bar bill, the vote being 54 to 33. It was rejected by the Senate in May, but was re-introduced by Colonial F. H. P. Creswell, Minister of Defense and Labor. The bill proposes considerable restrictions of the rights of the natives, and seeks to perpetuate white control in the Union. When it was before the House of Assembly last year F. W. Beyers, Minister of Mines and Industries, brought regulations created a color bar for the Orange Free State and elsewhere. He intimated that it was intended to extend the color bar to the Cape of Good Hope. Seven Boxes of Cigars to Cost Man Ten Years (Preston Nows Service) MEMPIHS, Tenn., Feb. 1.— Seven boxes of Christmas cigars which he admitted stealing from the store of Rico Gala, cost Earl Mitchell 10 years in the penitentiary Wednesday, when he pleaded guilty before Judge Harsh to an indictment charging housebreaking and larceny. The cigars were valued at $15. The wine was stolen last Christmas The beer was sold being built all over Katanga Province, Belgian Congo, are enabling the missionaries to quadruple their work. It is also changing the nature of missionary work. There is no longer the necessity for the missionary to go personally from village to village preaching the Gospel to the native tribes; their task now involves evangelists and pastors-teachers and their work. Everywhere the missionary goes there is a cry for more teachers to instruct those who are interested in Christianity." Dr. and Mrs. Springer were the first missionaries to enter Katarana Province, in 1912. They held religious services in the village of the native chief, Mwata Yamvo, the major portion of the congregation, being his more than 200 wives. Dr. Springer's report to the Board of Foreign Mission resulted in other missionaries being sent into that part of the Congo. When he visited the same territory recently Dr. Springer deferred to him a thousand people. He found several hundred Christians in Mwata Yamvo's villages and surrounding territory. Among the Lunda-speaking population in this territory there are 40 native teachers and a large number of biblewomen—all trained in the mission station since Dr. Springer first visited the country.

Wednesday, February 16, 1926 Financial Drives and the Cabaret --- THE 135TH STREET BRANCH of the Young Men's Christian Association has just succeeded in raising its quota of the yearly budget; and while the total amount raised was small, we are compelled to commend the workers of the Branch for the business-like way the campaign was conducted. We call especial attention to this because of the almost disgraceful methods other organizations—notably the New York Urban League and the Harlem Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People—have resorted to in order to raise funds with which to carry on their work. IN THEIR VARIOUS WAYS the Urban League and the Advancement Association are doing work of vital importance to the Negro and the Nation, and The Amsterdam News has willingly lent each every assistance at its command, and will continue to do so. The importance of this work should speak for itself. If it does not it must be made to do so. It should not be necessary for either organization to resort to cabaret benefit entertainments to raise funds to carry on their work. If the V. M. C. A. is able to successfully conduct a financial campaign without the use of the cabaret, the two organizations mentioned should be able to do so. AFTER everything possible is said in favor of the cabaret in Harlem, it will readily be admitted that it can play no part in a program of social service. Cabarets are for the most part the rendezvous of the sporting element of the population and the amusement resort of the more or less well-to-do. The glitter, the jovial spirit, the music and dancing have little or no effect on the person of mature mind, but in too many instances create false impressions of life and its responsibilities upon the person of tender years, with which latter group these organizations must more and more seek to help if their work is to be of lasting benefit. The mother who permits her daughter to go to a cabaret entertainment conducted by, or for, a welfare organization, need not be surprised to awaken some day to the fact that she has become a regular habitue of night life palaces without her consent. WE ALL CONDEMN the police stoolpigeon who panders to vice in an attempt to stamp out vice; yet, we remain adamant when our leading organizations employ methods just as questionable to raise funds to carry on a work of uplift, community service and racial betterment. The ultimate ends and aims to be served must not be rendered less effective by the means. The cabaret is not the place to raise money for social service. THE FORMER ALDERMAN GEORGE W. HARRIS, who feels that he was ordained by God to hold office and who several years ago managed to fool enough people to be elected Alderman in the 21st Aldermanic District, interviews himself almost daily in an article for the Harlem section of the New York Evening Journal; and, lest the casual reader of that newspaper be led to believe that Harris is the spokesman for Negroes in Harlem, it seems to us the part of wisdom to warn the unwary public of the dangers lurking in the offing when an unscrupulous, unprincipled, petty politician is permitted to masquerade as its spokesman. THE CLAIM on which Harris bases his leadership recks with all that is repugnant to the honest citizen—insincerity, deception and selfishness. Ever since his first regular Republican nomination for Alderman, whatever political strength he subsequently gained in Harlem was based solely upon his opposition to Robert S. Conklin, white leader of the district whose autocratic methods he attacked, and whose tool he now is. In other words, Harris espoused the cause of Negro leadership as long as it suited his purposes and somersaulted in his position when enough voters found him out to forever strip him of whatever power he once had. This climax was reached when the votes were counted after the last primary election and Harris reappeared on the scene as an advocate of white leadership for a Negro majority. WE DO NOT KNOW by what method or under what agreement the former Alderman has succeeded in convincing editors of the Hearst newspaper that he is Harlem's Negro spokesman, but we do know that it is an utterly ridiculous proceeding from the Negro's point of view and that neither Harris nor the Evening Journal is fooling anyone as to the former's real standing in this community. If Harris had any real standing as a leader in the community, if his political career had been one of unselfish devotion to the progress of his race, it would not be necessary for him to be eternally reminding the public that he is a former Alderman—a real sign of weakness and defeat. IT IS STRANGE INDEED that with the introduction of the new Anti-Lynching Bill in Congress, authorities in Southern States are making strenuous efforts to protect colored persons charged with crime, and are making a show, at least, of giving accused persons a fair trial in court. These trials pass all understanding for speed, but then they are better than no trial at all. And, where, oh where, have these State troops been these many years? OVER IN BROOKLYN. last week, a woman was charged with stabbing her husband to death because he tried to restrain her from doing the Charleston. IN VIEW of Warden Lawes' statement that Ernest T. Mimms, who was put to death in the electric chair at Sing Sing last week, did not appear to be mentally right, we are tempted to believe that if he had had as much money as Harry K. Thaw he might have escaped his fate. Expressed by Our Contemporaries Through a Jap's Eyes (By Count M. Soyoshima, in the Talo, a Tokio Monthly Magazine.) "I was not very favorably disposed toward America and the Americans. I did not like the Americans because most of them are in fact most arrogant imperialists, while they have constantly justice and humanity in their mouths. While they set themselves up as ardent champions of justice, they really are the devotees of the outrageous and brazen-faced Monroe Doctrine. "While Americans are kind-hearted on the one hand, they are extremely selfish on the other. Theirs Frederick Douglass on Abraham Lincoln Frederick Douglass on Abraham Lincoln (From an oration delivered on the occasion of the unveiling of the Freelmen's monument to Lincoln, in Lincoln Park, Washington, D. C., April 14, 1876.) FELLOW-CITIZENS, ours is no new-born zeal and devotion—merely a thing of this moment. The name of Abraham Lincoln was near and dear to our hearts in the darkest and most perilous hours of the Republic. We were no more ashamed of him when shrouded in clouds of darkness, of dqubt, and defeat, than when we saw him crowned with victory, honor and glory. Our faith in him was often taxed and strained to the uttermost, but it never failed. When he tarried long in the mountain; when he strangely told us that we were the cause of the war; when he still more strangely told us that we were to leave the land in which we were born; when he refused to employ our arms in defense of the Union; when, after accepting our services as colored soldiers, he refused to retaliate our murder and torture as colored prisoners; when he told us he would save the Union if he could with slavery; when he revoked the Proclamation of Emancipi- pation of General Fremont; when he refused to remove the popular commander of the Army of the Potomac, in the days of its inaction and defeat, who was more zealous in his efforts to protect slavery than to suppress rebellion; when we saw all this, and more, we were at times grieved, stunned, and greatly bewildered; but our hearts believed while they ached and bled. Nor was this, even at that time, a blind and unreasoning supersition. Despite the mist and haze that surrounded him; despite the tumult, the hurry, and confusion of the hour, we were able to take a comprehensive view of Abraham Lincoln, and to make reasonable allowance for the circumstances of his position. We saw him, measured him, and estimated him; not by stray utterances to injudicious and tedious delegations, who often tried his patience; not by isolated facts torn from their connection; not by any partial and imperfect glimpses, caught at inopportune moments; but by a broad survey, in the light of the stern logic of great events, and in view of that divinity which shapes our ends. Though how them how we will, we came to the conclusion, that the hour and the man of our redemption had somehow met in the person of Abraham Lincoln. It mattered little to us what language he might employ on special occasions; it mattered little to us, when we fully knew him, whether he was swift or slow in his movements; it was enough for us that Abraham Lincoln was at the head of a great movement, which, in the nature of things, must go on until slavery should be utterly and forever abolished in the United States. Is an extremely complex character. Intense advocates of humanity and philanthropy, they are at the same time extremely selfish, unjust, inhumane, as their crafty underhand foreign policy shows. "They are in favor of the independence of Coren, while they are most strenuously opposed to the independence of Hawaii and the Philippines. While they publicly identify themselves with justice and humanity, they tolerate the existence of the Ku Klux Klan for the persecution of Negroes and otherwise discriminate against the colored nations. "While the military authorities of America are so busily engaged in the amplification of armaments, however, it appears that the majority of American people are opposed to the idea of war and my opinion this is quite as it should be, for a war between America and Japan would be like a fight between a tiger and a shark. "However, strong the tiger may be, it cannot attack the shark; nor can the shark fasten a quarrel on the tiger, whatever hatred the former may conceive against the latter. Neither of the two powers can take the aggressive with any prospect of success."

Nearly all our family physicians are colored, so why not support a colored drug store? This trick of white drugstores grinning in your face and then cutting your throat with the aid of a colored doctor has got to stop. We must develop race pride if we expect to win. There are some mighty fine colored physicians in Harlem who are loyal and have a clientele equal to any white doctor, but there are also quite a few scuffling for a living, and it is these men who are so apt to resort to anything in an effort to live. Let us support colored physicians through and through and in return demand that they support colored drug stores, and where it is necessary to carry grinning Presbyterian Board of National Missions discovered that the porter to whom he was talking has one son studying medicine in Harvard University and another a law student at a Presbyterian university for Negroes, located in Char- THE EDITOR FREDERICK DOUGLASC 1817-1895 To the Editor of The Amsterdam News: "COMING THROUGH" WASHINGTON. — Recently, in the Pennsylvania Station, in New York City, says "The Presbyterian" one of the members of the staff of the tions to white pharmacists, let's see that they appreciate our patronage by giving some colored pharmacist a position. Agrees With Dr. Wilson To the Editor of The Amsterdam News: Dear Sir—I want to say a word of commendation for the courage of Dr. Wiley Wilson, who so openly and boldly denounced his fellow physicians, in your last week's issue, for sending their prescriptions to white drug stores in order to receive a commission. The price of the prescription, the commission and the doctor's fee all come out of the patient's money. I know of nothing more cowardly or more unethical than for our professional men to descend to such a level. There are only seven colored drug stores in a city like this, when there ought to be twenty-seven at the least, and it's all because colored physicians refuse to support colored drug stores for one reason or another. The excuses they offer are extremely lame. The Harlem Hospital situation shows that our doctors are making progress and nothing must be done to retard the upward trend that is now beginning to unfold itself. The majority of the physicians in the city are southern men, mostly from Howard University, and just why they prefer to support white stores at the expense of their people I can't understand. This sort of thing isn't fair to the loyal doctors of the race. White physicians do not send their prescriptions to Negro stores, and here in Harlem it is difficult for a Negro pharmacist to even get a decent job and salary in a white store. The keynote has sounded, the agitation started and the doctors who are guilty will be exposed and forced to give up this practice or give up their medical practice for lack of phillets. Harlem ought to be an example for the world and hereafter when a doctor writes a prescription I shall carry it where I please and not have it phoned to some white druggist; and if he insists that I carry it to a white store, I must know "how come."

Mr. Walling has the distinction of being one of the few Southern white men to take a courageous and definite stand in behalf of full rights for the American Negro. Mr. Walling has contributed to many publications and has written a number of books dealing with Socialism and its problems. He was one of the foremost American interpreters of the Russian people, writing "Russia's Message" in 1908 and subsequently criticising the Soviet Government's policy and methods.

IN THE large cities, rickets is a frequent disease among children. Between the ages of six months and on year is the time that rickets first manifests itself. Rickets vary unfavorably to certain common diseases such as bronchitis, bronchial-pneumonia and measles, and permanent defects in certain bones and joints are apt to occur, producing a social and economic handicap in its adult life. are the real causes for rickets. Children with rickets have an altered metabolism. The chemistry of the body is changed. There is an interference with the deposition of calcium salts in the bones. There is no calcium deficiency in the body, but there is a disturbance in the ability of the body tissues to appropriate and "fix" the available salts of calcium. This is the key to this biochemical problem of rickets. The treatment for rickets must be divided into dietetic, medical and physical methods. The dietetic treatment aims at the improvement of the calcium balance in the system. This is done by reducing in some cases the amount of fat in the feedings and increasing the starchy constituents. In many cases of rickets the treatment includes the lessening of the total quantity of milk and substituting fruits, vegetables, potatoes and meat at an earlier age in greater amounts than are usually needed. Cod liver oil is always used in rickets and experience has proved its worth. The physical treatment of rickets includes light, fresh air and sunshine. Rickets is rare in sunny, mountainous regions. Sunlight is made up of three distinct rays: Faint rays, light rays and ultra violet or chemically active rays. It is the last that has the good effect upon rickets. I would advise mothers to keep infants and young children in the sunshine at least four hours a day. These hours may be divided into several periods between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Excellent results have been obtained in children with rickets through exposure to the ultra violet light, artificially made from a quartz lamp. It is a specific for children with rickets whose gastrointestinal organs are unable to stand cold liver oil and the persistent efforts in the correct treatment. Thus the infant children, especially in the large cities, should be examined often by physician to detect early manifestations of rickets and give the proper treatment if such a condition be present. Medical science has found many and varied causes for the development of rickets. Heredity in devitalized parents, artificial feeding, nutritional disturbances, deficiency of vitamins in the child's diet, repeated infections, disorders of the internal secretions and ductless glands, and last, but not least, lack of sunshine and fresh air as a result of the darkened and crowded city flat life. Not one, but a combination of two or more of these factors Chas. Edw. Russell Charles Edward Russell is one of the founders of the N. A. A. C. P. and is still an active member of the Board of Directors. He has had a distinguished career as journalist and author. He was Socialist candidate for Governor of New York State in 1910 and 1942. In 1917 he was a member of the Special Diplomatic Mission sent by the United States to Russia, and in 1918 was Commissioner to Great Britain for the U. S. Committee on Public Information. In 1919 Mr. Russell was made a member of the President's Industrial Commission. Mr. Russell has travelled widely throughout the world. His books include: "The Story of Wendell Phillips," "Lawless Wealth," "The Outlook for the Philippines," "Stories of the Great Railroads," and others. In June of 1825 Mr. Russell delivered the keynote address at the Sixteenth Annual Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. in Denver. Negroes Hold 2,000 Patents.
