MURDER TO RESERVE COP FISK ELECTS PRESIDENT Wages and Work THE United States Bureau of Labor Statistics has just made the startling disclosure that the rates paid unskilled adult labor in such important industries as automobiles, iron and steel, lumber, paper and pulp, meatpacking, leather, brick, paper refining, etc., are lowest in those geographic divisions where there are large numbers of colored or Mexican workers, while the highest wages are paid in localities where the eight-hour day is prevalent. In other words, brawn is O.K. so far as work is concerned, but it takes brain plus brawn to invoke the eight-hour day and demand higher wages on the collective bargaining basis. Viewing this wage discrimination from all: another angle and you have the simple deduction that Negro and Mexican labor are being used as a bumper for those groups of American workmen who have the desire plus the opportunity to use the unit idea in selling their muscles. Alas, though, economic pressure compels the former to pursue the easiest way to earn the wherewithal of bread and meat. It is a sad commentary upon American employers, making American goods for home and foreign consumption, that some of their number continue to take moral advantage of the poor and oppressed wagehunter. The profit, of course, to them is the extra dividends they gain from a long day and a low wage. But the final cost is paid by the backwardness in morals, education, health, and citizenship which follows in the wake of unfair conditions of labor. Despite American prosperity this winter has witnessed many a soup crowded with American workers, white and black, who are the victims of the fierce competition which unscrupulous operators stimulate between the toiling groups. America is quite prosperous enough to pay a fair wage for an eight-hour day the country over; and those employers who buffet Negroes and Mexicans around just to roll up individual wealth should hold their heads in shame and resolve to go, and sin no more. From $2 Delivery Boyto Store Owner It is a sure sign of progress when the youth of the Negro race undertake and succeed in developing worth-whole business enterprises. This has been done by a youth of twenty years, who has been in New York four years. This serious-minded, though very pleasant life, is James H. Pierce, who has been in Henderson, Ky. ```markdown ``` was born in Henderson, Ky. in 1965 and came to New York September 5, 1962. He immediately entered the High School of Commerce and secured a job as delivery boy at a salary of $2 a week in the store which he now owns. While studying and working he secured every opportunity to better himself. He secured a position with L. O. Oppenheimer, Inc., owner of chain grocery stores and retail markets. Appreciating his ability and ambition, he was offered a job as manager of the store at the age of 19 years. This position he held until he purchased the store located at 2397 High Avenue from his former employer. This store is between Beth and 150th streets and is well stocked with merchandise.

TO "BREAK THE BONDS" Patronize Only Stores Employing Negroes RESERVE OFFICER WHO SHOT DOWN MOVIE PATRON HELD FOR HOMICIDE AND SULLIVAN LAW VIOLATION After Killing Man Accused of Stealing Woman's Coat, He Is Himself Shot Three Times by Officer Patrolman William Dudley of the Third Division has been recommended by Capt. Daniel A. Kerr, head of the Division, for a medal because of his action Thursday night, when he shot and seriously wounded Albert Cantor, 22, a police reserve officer employed by the Roosevelt Theatre, who shot and killed almost instantly a man upon the complaint of a woman that he had attempted to steal her coat. Cantor, charged with homicide and violation of the Sullivan Law, is in a slightly improved condition at the Harlem Hospital. The shooting occurred at 144th street and Seventh avenue. Leon Todd, a handyman around the Hotel Oiga, was the victim of the inexperienced and untrained reserve officer. He had been employed at the hotel, it was learned, for several years, and during that time had been trusted with valuable property belonging to the guests. He had seen the picture showing at the theatre and was, evidently, about to leave the theatre when the trouble which cost him his life started. According to information gathered by the authorities, a woman in the theatre at the time complained that Todd tried to steal her coat. Apparently, because of the crowd, Todd was leaning on the rail on which the woman's coat had been placed. Todd, of course, was pointed out as the man. According to witnesses, he had reached the sidewalk when he was accosted the first time by Cantor, who drew his revolver and brought him back to the lobby. One word brought on another and blows were passed between the two. It is said, after which Todd ran. The reserve officer set out in pursuit of him. At 144th street, Todd checked his speed and Cantor shot him in the back in full view of Officers Dudley and Carter, both of whom were in plain clothes. Dudley and Catter drew their revolvers, ordered Cantor to throw up his hands, not knowing he was a reserve officer. Dudley was in front. Carter, directly in back of him, was waving his shield in the air so Cantor could see it. Seemingly unnerved and dazed at the shooting, Cantor turned around at the command of the officers and pointed his revolver directly at Dudley. Three shots from Officer Dudley's revolver rang out and Cantor dropped to the pavement, all three shots taking effect. Todd, who was shot in the spine, died almost instantly. Cantor was removed to the hospital. Aside from being without authority in drawing his revolver in the case of misdemeanor, and without authority for being armed while off duty, charges of homicide and violation of the Sullivan Law must be answered by Cantor should he recover. Officer Dudley is said to have an excellent record in the Police Department. DR. WOODSON DENIES THAT HE IS ILL Contriary to the report that Dr. Carter G. Woodson is in poor health, he is in good physical condition, he says, and has not lost a day from work in twelve months. Dr. Woodson has sent a letter to the editor of the Baltimore paper which published the statement that his physician said he would die in six months requesting the refutation of the statement, and it was published. THIRD MAN CONVICTED IN KILLING OF BRONX PEDDLER Eugene Santini Found Guilty of Manslaughter After Jury Deliberates Five Hours—Four Others Face Trial This Week After deliberating more than five hours, a jury before Judge Cohn in Bronx County Court Friday night found Eugene Santini, 21, Italian, 481 Morris avenue, near 146th street, guilty of second degree manslaughter in connection with the slaying of Eugene Fowler, 35, who lived at 484 College avenue, near 146th street, on April 26 last. Santini's conviction was brought about largely through the testimony of William Downs of Baltimore, who was visiting his father last April at 475 Morris avenue. Downs witnessed the mob's attack on Fowler from a second floor window, and it was through his identification that seven members of the mob were arrested. Although other people observed the cruel attack, they refused to take the stand for fear their lives would be jeopardized. The trial of the men began last week. Each day the court room has been packed by spectators, including the relatives and friends of the defendants. Santini's mother was fined $25 for screaming out profane epithets whole downs was testifying. Downs is escorted under heavy guard when he arrives at the court. Detectives also escort him to lunch. In returning its verdict against Santini the jury earns recommended clemency. It is believed that the jury was moved partly because of his youth and partly because the testimony at the trial made it appear almost certain that (Continued on Page 2.) Officer Wm. Dudley Sherrill Answers Garvey's Charges Acting Head of U. N. I. A. Agreed to Visit President General Each Month To answer the charge of disloyalty to the Universal Improvement Association and betraying Marcus Garvey, the acting head of the organization, William L. Sherrill called and addressed a mass meeting at Liberty Hall, Sunday night. Wesley M. Holder, second vice-president of the New York division, also refuted the charges against the acting president. Mr. Sherrill said that he had agreed to visit Garvey once a month at the pentimentary, but upon the instruction of his imprisoned leader, he did not carry out the agreement. Since that time, Mr. Sherrill declared, he has been censured for failing to exhibit the spirit of the U. N. I. A. On the last occasion that he visited Garvey, Mr. Sherrill said that he was questioned why he had left New York when subsidiary holdings of the association were in a critical situation. Garvey is said to have prevailed upon Mr. Sherrill to stay in New York. The reason for Garvey's new attitude is the result of several individuals who have ambitions and aspirations to be head of the organization. His attack on the ambitious persons were re-enforced by Mr. Holder. Lone Jersey Trooper Awes Lynching Mob CAMDEN, N. J., Feb. 25—An angry mob of white men, shooting "Lynch him!" demanded the surrouser of Archie Smith, just after he had been arrested in connection with the shooting of Mrs. Bertha Warlow, white, 52 years old, last Friday. It was alleged he beat the woman unconscious in the collar of her husband's cigar store and barber shop in Lindenwold, N. J., a suburb nine miles from Camden, wounding her twice and beating her with soda water bottles. Smith, arrested after troopers had learned he had been seen laterting about the place, was positively identified by the woman at her bedside in Cooper Hospital, Camden, according to the police. State Trooper Fair, who arrested Smith, argued with the crowd for some moments, one hand on the handle of his revolver. The throng finally dispersed. Rhinelander Reconciliation All "Bunk." Says Mills Lorey N. Mills of Mount Vernon, who was associated with his father, Ex-Judge Isaac N. Mills, during the Rhinelander trial, says the reported reconciliation between their client, Leonard Kip, and Alice Jones Rhinelander is all bunk. THOMAS ELSA JONES, GRADUATE STUDENT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, SUCCEEDS McKENZIE WHITE CHARGE-DE-AFFAIRES NAMED FOR LIBERIA; SOLOMON PORTER HOOD, SICK, ON WAY HOME Illness Said to Have Forced Return of Diplomat — Precedents Broken — Sinister Moves Seen WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 22. — Violating all precedent, the State Department has named Reid Page Clark, white, charge-de-affaires at Monrovia, Liberia. Clark has been ordered to proceed at once to his new post in order to take up the work of U. S. Minister Solomon Porter Hood, who is ill and en route home. Precedent is violated in that Clark is the first white man to be so attached to the U. S. Legation in Liberia. Had the five-million-dollar loan gone through, President Wilson had scheduled him for the post of general receiver and financial adviser to represent this Government's interests. It did not go through, so Clark was given a Consul's post elsewhere. Another precedent is violated by reason of the fact that heretofore on the absence of the Minister, the secretary of the Legation has been empowered to act. Secretary Bundy so acted after Dr. Ernest Lyman gave up his post there, again after the death of Minister Curtis, who followed, and up to the appointment of Minister Hood. The serious illness of Mr. Hood makes it unlikely that he will ever return to Liberin. The fact that President Coolidge asked the Senate recently to make the salary of the Liberian Minister $10,000, coupled with the fact that Firestone Tire Company is investing $100,000,000 in Liberian rubber plantations, makes observers believe the State Department plans to send henceforth a white Minister to Liberin. In this case, it is pointed out, Liberin might not be able to raise the color question, even though it prefers colored Ministers. Liberin, it is believed, will look with despair upon the insistence of this Government in imposing Clark upon them a second time, especially since Clifton R. Wharton, appointed Logation secretary last year, is qualified to act until a successor can be named. Clark's appointment has created a mild sensation among Republican politicians. They see in it a forerunner to eliminating colored men from the only Minister post they have in the U. S. diplomatic corps. (Afo American.) Welcome B.S.C.P. Organizers in West Keys of City Given Randolph and Toten in SEATTLE, Wash.. Feb. 21. (By telegraph to The Amsterdam News). — Mayor or Brown of Seattle welcomed A. Phillip Randolph and Ashly L.

The Western porters are rallying wonderfully, says the dispatch. Costuma to Continue Fight on Koenig David B. Costuma. Republican leader in the 19th Assembly District, will carry his fight against Samuel S. Koenig. Chairman of the New York County Republican Committee, into the next primary campaign, according to reports in political circles Sunday. Mr. Costuma is said to regard his defeat last Thursday at the meeting of the County Committee, which voted 2,692 to 124 to exonerate Mr. Koenig, as merely the beginning of a long fight against the local Republican chief. He and his friends, it was reported, hope to develop an independent organization which will be strong enough to enter primary fights for the nomination of city and county candidates and at least to force the regular organization to put up better men if it cannot put over its own candidates. Injunction Sought ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 22.—The board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce agreed unanimously to start in function a proceedings against the city of Atlanta to prevent the enforcing part of the barber ordinance passed at the last meeting of the General Council on the ground the measure is unconstitutional. "The ordinance prohibits Negro barbers from serving a white woman or white children under the age of fourteen. Thomas Elsa Jones, a Fellow at Columbia University, where he expects to take his doctor's degree in philosophy in May, has been elected President of Fisk University by the Board of Trustees. The announcement of a successor to Payette McKenzie, who before he resigned came near to wrecking the institution, was made by Paul D. Cravath, who is chairman of the Board. Mr. Jones has accepted and will take up his new duties June 1 of this year. The selection of a new president brings to a close the second act of the drama being enacted by the administration, students and alumni of this famous institution. Every drama has at least three acts and the third act is generally the climax or turning point of the whole drama. Thus it is in the Fisk situation—the climax is yet to be reached. Will the new president be acceptable to the Fisk alumni, which is composed of many of the leading Negroes in the United States, be equipped from an educational and administrative point of view to cope with the situation before him? And, above all, has he a sympathetic understanding of the hopes and aspirations of the Negro race as they express themselves through the thousands of colored and white people interested in Fisk? These are some of the questions to be answered in the next act of the drama. and former students throughout the city are invited. Dr. Fructor is president of the Fisk Alumni Committee of Greater New York. Other members include Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols. Dr. and Mrs. M. V. Boutte, Mrs. Elizabeth Rose Haynes, Dr. Elmer S. Innes, Andrew J. Allison and others. MR. JONES GRADUATE OF EARLHAM COLLEGE. Mr. Jones will become the fifth president of Fisk, which was founded in 1865 by the late Erastus Milo Cravath. He is a native of India and was graduated from Earlsham. It is known that influential members of the alumni here were hoping for the selection of another man as president, but at that time Mr. Jones had not appeared on the scene. In that, it appears that the newly elected president is a sort of dark horse, trotted out of the educational stable by L. Hollowell-worth Wood, vice-chairman of the Fisk board and head of the National Urban League. The alumni naturally shied at Mr. Wood's choice because he came out strongly for the retention of McKenzie, who proved the bitterest pill the alumni and students have ever been called upon to swallow. NEW PRESIDENT ACCEPTABLE TO ALUMNI. Recent indications are that Mr. Jones will be accepted by the alumni, not as a Wood protege, but on his own merit. In a statement, Rev. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of the Nazarene Congregational Church and the only alumnist who could be prevailed upon to talk to a reporter for The Amsterdam News says: DR. PROTOUR'S STATEMENT. "The choice by the trustees of Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones as president of Fisk University is acceptable to alumni. Representatives of the alumni in this city have met with Mr. Jones and are familiar with his record, attitude and purposes. They believe that in him the institution will have a leader that has the new conception of race relations, and one who is well qualified for the task. "The question of the racial identity of the president has never been an issue either with the students or the alumni. What was wanted was a man. However, in the present crisis it seemed that a white man would better fit into the psychological situation than a colored. "The Fisk Alumni Committee of Greater New York will extend to Mr. and Mrs. Jones a reception at Fisk next Thursday evening. February 25 to which Fisk Alumni and former students throughout the city are invited." Dr. Preector is president of the Fisk Alumni Committee of Greater New York. Other members include Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, Dr. and Mrs. M. V. Boutte, Mrs. Elizabeth Ross, Haynes, Dr. Elmer S. Jones, Andrew J. Allison and others. MR. JONES GRADUATE OF EARLHAM COLLEGE. Mr. Jones will become the first president of Fisk, which was founded in 1865 by the late Erastus Mio Cravath. He is a native of India and was graduated from Earlham College in that State in 1912. He studied in Woodbrook School, Birmingham, England, and travelled in Europe. Following his return to this country he was graduated from Hartford Theological Seminary in 1913 and received his master's degree from Columbia in 1917. For the next seven years he was connected with the Friends' Mission in Japan, first teaching in the Government Junior College in Mito and later serving as professor in economics and sociology at Kelio University, Tokyo. He is now a follow in sociology at Columbia University, where he expects to take his Ph.D. degree on the presentation of his thesis in May. During the war Mr. Jones served as director of the Y. M. C. A. work at Vladivostok and, following the great earthquakes in Japan, he was in charge of the Quaker Reconstruction Work, building up Friendship Village in a suburb of Tokyo. Prior to his leaving for Japan in 1917 he married Miss Esther A. Balduster of Wilmington, Del., European correspondent of the New York World. While all of Fisk's presidents have been white and while there has been a considerable amount of assistance for a Negro president, this has been of secondary consideration in the tangle out of which Fisk now seems to be evolving. It was rumored recently that the board was willing to elect a Negro president of the university, but a white member of the board, and one who is supposed to be a friend of the Negro race, opposed it.

MEMBERS OF WEIRD CULT TAKEN WHOLESALE ARRESTS MADE IN ABSECON, N. J., AND IN NEW YORK CITY OF 'NEVER DIE' CULT MEMBERS Elder W. Roberson, Head of Body, Charged With Violation of Mann Act Indictments Follow Two=Year Investigation ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Feb. 21.-Fifteen inmates of a "home" conducted in Absecon, near here, by a cult called the "Live and Never Die Society," were arrested, following indictments, by agents of the United States Department of Justice, charged with violation of the Mann act. Those arrested include nine adults, men and women, and six girls. Other arrests have been made in New York City. They were held under $5,000 bail each by United States Commissioner Albert McGee. Elder W. Roberson, head of the cult, whose home is at Wacoan, is said to be under arrest in Chicago. "Pluko" The Aristocrat of HAIR DRESSINGS MISS.

The institution at Absecon, run under the title of an orphanage, has been investigated several times during the past year, police there said. At one time it was reported a State trooper who went there to find twenty-one children ranging from a few days to six months in age. But the authorities failed to get evidence of a criminal nature, Chief of Police Schoepflin said. Women from a New York welfare bureau also aided in a police investigation. In one investigation it was alleged that young prospective mothers were being brought to the house from New York. The place is pretentious, with about twenty rooms. All those under arrest maintained indifference until Friday noon, when several revealed some of the mystical practices of the cult. Elder Robertson has, according to several of the women, taught that a "day of glory" was shortly to arrive when he would lead his followers to the White House, where he would assume the authority of the President. The "day" is to be foretold, according to the women, by the appearance of a bright star in the eastern heavens. Several declared in all seriousness it already had appeared. Saturday night several looked for it from the jail windows but found the windows faced in the wrong direction. OTHERS ABRESTED HERE. Those arrested in New York city described themselves as Johns Street, Alexander Walker, Stella Popper, A. J. Simmons, Jane Robertson, and Newman Chanks, taken at No. 2357 Seventh avenue; Nettle Jones, Martha Washington, Sarah Chapman, Carrie Roberson and Lucy Macklin, at No. 201 West 139th street; Charles Harris, at No. 261 West 134th street; and Charles Madison, No. 60 West 134th street. Libby Lomax, named in the indictment, too ill to be arrested, was left in her home in West 139th street. Anna May Lowden, 16, an alleged victim, was encountered in the round-up and put in safe keeping. Police were also searching for Roberson's wife, alias Fanny Taylor, alleged high priestess and accomplice. Simmons, with skull cap, silver topped cane, and dignified air, spokesman for the thirteen, denied the charges. Simmons is said to be one of Roberson's "Apostles." Mrs. Roberson; Samuel White, Joseph Taylor, Frank Stevenson, alias Frank Tannenbaum; Cornelius Johnson, Edward Witty, alias David Lazarus; Ernest Cross, William Emmett, Charles C. Turner, Leander Clark, Stephen Roberson, Samuel Scale, Edgar D. Roberts, Lottie Brooks, Lou Pruntz, Lena White, Mrs. William Emmett, Mamie Morton and Mary Shot. Many thousands of dollars are alleged to have been raised monthly by the cult leaders under the guise of philanthropy. Roberson, who is indicted also for violation of the Mann act, wasud less than a month ago by Mrs. Jessie Armstrong, who charged him with indicting her to give up $4.221, in the alleged belief that Roberson could cure her son, donat and dumb since birth. Roberson alone is charged directly with the acts complained of, the others merely with conspiring to serve him. Unable to Pay $25 Fine; Jailed for Five Days Unable to pay a $25 fine, Cecil Warlock, 2465 Seventh avenue, was sentenced to five days in the workhouse on a charge of disorderly conduct by Magistrate McQuade in the Washington Heights Court Friday morning. Arthur Menzles, 2505 Seventh avenue, who made the charge against the prisoner, testified that Warlock struck him during a dispute over money matters. Menzles appeared in court with bandages about his head. Detective Edward Bransfield of the West 155th street station, who made the arrest, said that the blow Warlock received from Menzles caused him to fall to the pavement. The officer said that he picked up the assaulted man. Held for Xmas Eve Burglary Man Traced Through Card Issued by Parole Board Arraigned before Magistrate Sib- hermen in Morrissia Court: Frid- day morning on a short holiday charging burglary, John Torres, 24, 25 South street, was held without hall for examination this week on a charge of burglary. It was brought out in court that on Christmas Eve Louis Siegelbaum, white, who resides on the ground floor of a two-family house at 1408 College Ave. gave a party at his home. The festivities continued until 3 o'clock the next morning. Some time between that time and 7 o'clock his home was entered by a burglary, who fled with $200 in clothing and $100 in cash. Siegelbaum made known his loss to Detectives Mahoney and Dorothy of the Dutchess avenue station. The detectives, on investigating the precrimes, found a couple card issued by the Parole Commission to "John Torres, 36 Gold street, Brooklyn." They called at the Brooklyn address, but found that Torres had moved several months back. Saturday they found him in the vicinity of Dorough Hall, Brooklyn. According to police, Torres was last convicted February 13, 1924, for possessing a hypodermic needle. He was sent to the penitentiary but was paroled in December, 1925. He made his first report to the Commission last month. Because of his record, Majestrate Silberman held him without bail. ASK DELAWARE GOVERNOR TO COMMUTE SENTENCE DOVER, Del., Feb. 21.—A delegation called on Governor Robinson last week to seek clemency for Harry Hutler, who was convicted last week of felonious assault upon a white girl and colored woman and sentenced to be hanged.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 24, 1926 WHITE COP HELD FOR FELONIOUS ASSAULT IN NIGHT CT Charged With Beating Intoxicated Man With Butt End of Revolver — Has Been in Trouble Before Patrolman Edwin Mahoney, white, a member of the Police Department twenty years, was held on a charge of felonious assault by Magistrate Jean Norris, following the policeman's arrest of Thomas Jenkins, of No. 223 West Sixtieth street. Thursday night. Magistrate Norris sentenced Jenkins to five days in the workhouse. He did not remember what happened, as he was "pretty drunk." She ordered the arrest of the policeman after he testified he had to hit the man to avoid being thrown onto the third rail trun a Ninth avenue elevated train. Mahoney, who is married and lives with his wife and six children at No. 667 West 202d street, was held in $1,000 ball for examination yesterday. He was automatically suspended from the Department pending the outcome of his trial. According to Mahoney's testimony, he was on his way to his sister-in-law's home, in civilian clothes, to ask her to come and help care for his wife, who is ill. He said he was riding on the platform of an elevated train when he noticed Jenkins reeling through the car. When the train reached 12d street station, Mahoney said, Jenkins stopped before him and said: "What are you looking at, you big hum?" The patrolman edmonshed the man, he said, to quiet down, whereupon Jenkins seized him by the knees and said he was going to throw him on the third rail. In the struggle, the policeman said, he finally had to draw his revolver and hit Jenkins on the head. He then took his prisoner to the West Sixty-eight Street Station, where he was locked up. Magistrate Norris sent for Mahoney's record and, after reading it, said: "Your record is not so clear. You have been in trouble before." Escaped Prisoner Returned to Island Victor DePredra, 28, 169 South Ellist place, Brooklyn, who escaped from the penitentiary on Hart's Island and last July while serving an in determinate sentence for burglary was arrested by Detective Winter halter of the West 135th street station early Thursday morning. DePredra will be returned to the penitentiary to serve three more years. In the Spring of 1925 he was convicted of burglarizing an apartment on Riverside Drive and was caught deceiving with an expensive rug. It was sent to Harris Island, where he worked as a fireman in the boiler room until making his escape. Wandering about the island, he jumped into the East River, swam through Hell Gate and, after three hours in the water, landed on the Manhattan shore. Asked at what point he landed, DeFredda said: "I don't know much about geography. Anyway, I had enough to worry about going through field Gate without thinking of where I was going to land."

Subpoena Served With Difficulty, but Served It cost Mrs. Marlon Coles, 2621 Eighth avenue, $15 to attempt to avoid service of a subpoena, and the subpoena was served anyway. Mrs. Coles was fined that amount in Washington Heights Court Saturday by Magistrate McQuade on a charge of disorderly conduct. Susie Wiggins, 574 St. Nicholas avenue, charged that she entered the hallway of 2621 Eighth avenue with a subpoena for Hayward Coles, husband of Mrs. Coles, and that Mrs. Coles greeted her with a wet paint brush, which removed a portion of her hair and ruined the clothes she was wearing with red paint. After Pollceman Brosnan of the West 152d street station subdued Mrs. Coles, her husband was served with the subpoena. Wins Bail Release After Long Fight After a series of legal battles beginning in 1832, the Houston, Tex., branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has obtained freedom from jail, under $2,500 bond, for Luther Collins, originally charged with assault, and sentenced to death. His death sentence was reversed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and Collins was again tried in 1924, the jury failing to agree after 40 hours' deliberation. Collins was then tried again and given life imprisonment. On appeal from this decision, the Court of Criminal Appeals remanded the case for another trial. Venue was changed to Washington County, where it is now proposed to try him March 8. In making public this newest development, the N. A. A. C. P. pointed out that there can be little doubt of Collin's innocence, when he, a Negro, being tried in Texas for rape of a white woman, had one jury unable to agree, another unwilling to give him the death penalty, had two reversals of convictions from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and now secures release on nominal bond after four years of imprisonment. Pleads Guilty to Felonious Assault Charles Stephens, 19. 258 East 14th street, charged with slashing George Wayne, 24. 108 West 139th street, about the head and face with a pocket knife, pleaded guilty to felonious assault when arraigned before Magistrate Well in the Morrissania Court Friday and was held in $3,000 ball for the Grand Jury. Both men attended a house party last October in the home of a friend at 274 East 155th street. During a fight, according to the police, Stephens drew a knife and stabbed Wayne. The injured man was removed to Lincoln Hospital, where he remained under treatment 47 days. One of the wounds cut an artery which paralyzed the left side of Wayne's face and also left him with an impediment in his speech, it is said. Stephens escaped at the time, but was later arrested by Detectives Mara and Franz of the Morrisania station. RABBITS CAUSE OF MAN'S ARREST As the result of a dispute over a pair of rabbits valued at $1.20, Leon McCombs, 27, 2247 Seventh avenue, near 135th street, was held in $1,000 ball for the Grand Jury by Mauricate McQuade Wednesday in Washington Heights Court. He is charged with larceny. Henry Grosshandler, white, peddler, 1652 East 135th street, Brooklyn, testified he was selling rabbits from his wagon one week ago at 123rd street and Seventh avenue, when McCombs came out of a store at 2239 Seventh avenue and began to dicker for a pair of rabbits. Grosshandler handed him the rabbits, the peddler testified, and McCombs disappeared in the store, into which Grosshandler was afraid to follow. Grosshandler called Policeman Boyden of the West 135th street station, who arrested McCombs. ACCUSES MYTHICAL TWIN OF CRIME CAMDEN, N.J. Feb. 22—"Where is your husband?" inquired a man as he strolled into the general store of A. K. Warlow, white, Berlin and Maple avenues, Lindenwold, Thursday afternoon. Before Mrs. Bertha Warlow could answer she was shot in the abdomen and in the back of the head. She is dying in Cooper Hospital, Camden. When a woman neighbor was attracted to the scene the wounded woman was asked, "Who did it?" she replied: "Archie Smith." Smith was arrested and taken to the hospital. "That's he," said Mrs. Warlow. Smith insisted, "It wasn't me. It was my twin brother." It was said that he had no twin brother. 8 WHITES INDICTED FOR RAPE IN EDWARDS GIRL'S CASE Two Others Held for Further Hearing This Friday in West Farms. Court Attorneys Clash Upon the motion of Assistant District Attorney William Keir Magistrate Silberman in the West Farms Court Thursday morning dismissed eight of the defendants involved in the case of Ruby Edwards, because they have been indicted by the Bronx Grand Jury. The other two defendants were held in bail for a further hearing Friday. Following the release of the men, they were rearrested on bench warrants. The cases of the two accused men who were not indicted have not been presented to the grand jury, the district attorney said, in reply to the objection of the defendants' counsel. Before the complaint was called James P. Timoney, counselor for eight of the defendants, interrupted the court and demanded that the magistrate call the case for a hearing immediately. Attorney Timoney played the assistant district attorney for summoning the defendants to a room without admitting him. Louis C. Hartman, counselor for two of the defendants, made an appeal to the court to hear the charges against his clients who are not under indictment. Lawyer Timoney also took up the fight in opposition to the adjournment. He declared that it was impossible for the jury to consider the cases of eight of the men without considering the other two. Why the charges against the pair were not presented to the jury was not revealed by the district attorney. New evidence that has been disclosed has caused another investigation to be started, it was learned. Mystery as to the girl's age has been cleared up by her mother, who was born in Newport News, Va.

William Liebowitz, white, 746 St. Nicholas avenue, testified that McGirt entered his restaurant, ate meal costing, 50 cents, and then refused to pay the check. He said McGirt started to leave the restaurant without paying. "When I called him and told him he had not paid me," Liebowitz said, "he answered, 'No, I'm not going to. Call an officer if you want to.'" Policeman Brooks of the West 124th street station, who made the arrest, said McGirt told him he had given Liebowitz a dollar bill and had received 60 cents change. In Night Court McGirt told Mistrate Glatzmayer the check amounted to 65 cents and that he had paid it. He admitted having had one drink. The magistrate found him guilty.

If you told the average person that toothache is due to improper foods, he would not know what you are talking about. He would say you are crazy. For the billboards do not picture that.

Howe, professor of dental research of Harvard, says, "only the races that have never used the toothpaste free from acids (rotten teeth)." Brushing the teeth to keep them clean is all right. But why do the manufacturers of dental preparations blame bacteria for causing rotten teeth? And people believe that the tooth to prevent rotten teeth is to keep them clean. And your body to keep it healthy. Good teeth are built from inside not from outside. In bone and tooth formation it is essential to eat foods that have mineral salts and vitamins. When you deprive your body of such mineral salts by eating denatured, refined foods you are inviting toothache and dentists' bills; for sound, healthy teeth are not important, and the amount of foods rich in mineral salts, iron, lime, vitamins and cellulose, which are found only in natural foods.

Gilpin's Return in Old Role Hailed by Metropolitan Critics He Has Lost None of the Power and Dramatic Ability Which He Displayed in "The Emperor Jones" THE return of "The Emperor Jones" to New York discloses to those who might have entertained any doubts of the ability of Charles S. Gilpin, the latent dramatic power which we early discovered in this artist, and which we took pride in pointing out to our readers years before his opportunity came to appear before exacting audiences in a sphere far removed from that of 135th street. A careful survey of the concen- sus of opinion by the New York critics shows Gilpin still standing at the very top round of dramatic endearer. His portrayal of the character of "The Emperor Jones" in the play of that name which was recently revived for two weeks prompted the dramatic critic of the New York Evening Post to say: "Still the revivals come, the tried and veteran plays double- quipped up from the rear to till the gaping ranks of the new ones, fast thinned by the withering fire of critical assault and public indignation. The Provincetown group is the latest to send out a hurry call, and last night it marched in 'The Emperor Jones' without bugle calls, but to the steady beat of backstage drums, and tended again on the old camp ground of the new famous production. Charles Gilpin had the role he created. "Neither the play nor Gilpin has lost any of the dark magic which bewitched and captured a city away back in the ninety days of 1920 Time cannot touch this master play. "There is a faceless of the dimly educated Negro in him, the quick shifts in mood, the intuitive sense of drama which rises to every occasion. He is at once grandiose, boastful, fearful, prayful and cringing. The production sees a great actor playing a great role. "The staging at the Provincetown was excellent. There was no artifact in no real place. The revival is to last only two weeks. "The Emperor Jones," for the glory of God and your own soul, should be seen again. At the New Douglas The story of a lone girl's fight against the traditions and gossip of her little world is graphically told in the picture at the New Douglas Theatre this Sunday and Monday, Feb. 27 and 28. This drama, in which the unseen fight is won, after a powerful sequence of scenes, is "Lover's Island," a production adapted from the book of the same name by T. Howard Kelly, which appeared in the Smart Magazine. "Lover's Island" concerns the simple life of father folks in a little hamlet on the Malau coast, and the love of a girl for a man not of her own people. She succeeds in defying her narrow-minded family in a tremendous climax skillfully and artistically screened. At the Roosevelt Robert Reable's sensational "Recompense," which was written as a sequel to "Simon Called Peter," will be the feature attraction at the Roosevelt Theatre for this Sunday and Monday, Feb. 27 and 28. Mr. Reable's two books, "Simon Called Peter" and "Recompense," have become such household literature that everybody knows Peter, the army Chaplain, and Julie, the nurse, the battle with life and their own nature with all the sincerity and intensity of two fine, courageous and high-minded hearts.

Dougherty. The New York Amsterdam News, 2223 Stemnth Ave, New York City. Doar Sir-Anant your recent articles on "Lulu Belle," permit me to say power to your pen whenever you express such sentiments regarding this play. I believe you but mildly state the fact when you say that our race resents plays that serve to put us in a degraded light before the world. One of the cleverest women in the harlot. This term calls to mind the statement from the mouth of a Jewish young woman, who works with colored employees in one of the largest Federal departments in this city. She remarked, "the majority of colored women are immoral." I do not know how few years this Jewish woman has been in this land of her adoption, but it has been sufficient for her to get from daily press, theatre, and daily contact with other whites and people who are garding our race. On another occasion, a woman hailing from Denmark, who works in one of the municipal departments, declared, "Colored people are very unreliable, you know." This set or bias is very damaging to us, for such people by their chance remarks keep the poison virus spreading, so that those of us who work among other races have to carry the burden of this misconception on our backs. It is therefore regrettable that "Lulu Belle" or any other play of like nature should over see the light of day. While I was president of the Ethiopian Art Theatre, I consistently opposed any play that served as a demonstration in a dawning light. In this connection I might say that I would not consent to the production of "Lynch Law." whit, by the way, was a Belasco prize play, produced by a little theatre group from (God save the mark!) the state of Texas. A few years ago an attempt was made to put on a degrading play called "Goat Alley." Some of your readers will perhaps remember that the legitimate colored actors of this city objected so stronely to the play that no colored actors could be found to fill the cast, and the attempt failed. I honored those actors then and I do now. I believe that our race should create among its members such an esprit de corps that no member will dare incur the censure of the race by passing a pact in ways that degrade it. In this case, Florence Milne deserves the commendation of her people for refusing the title part in "Lulu Belle." It is not generally known that Abby Mitchell was also approached with an offer of a part in the cast, but I am glad to see that she declined. As a matter of fact, an examination of the cast of this play shows but a few professional actors' names. I personally warned a number of the amateurs in the cast as to the character of the play, and I regret to see that they have persisted in playing. I took the position then and I still maintain it, that our sense of race consciousness should be strong enough to keep us being a party to keep the bollitement of the play it may mean the loss of a little temporary salary. Let's honor to the skies those strong enough to refuse a part in the cast, and thereby teach others that there is nothing to be gained by being a catpaw for the white man's commercial schemes. We need a Negro art theatre. It was this belief that led me to connect myself with the Ethiopian Art Theatre movement. Through this I had visions of realizing the inherent dramatic possibilities of our race, of a playhouse holding the commanding position in this city which the Provincetown Playhouse enjoys, of Negro artists and Negro dramatists at last coming into their own, and of the birth of a Negro drama that would depict us, not in degradation alone, but in the appearance of life, we have struggled. Unfortunately the movement failed, but I am still firmly convinced that the vision can be realized. It can come, however, only when we cease to pander to the white man's desire and demand that we present to the world only the darky type, only the lowest elements of our race; and thereby coment their contention that we are criminal by nature.

SUTTON'S MELODYN CHALS ORCHESTRA AND MUSIC STUDIO Piano, Violin, Trombones and Banjo Instructions 32 BRADHURST AVENUE NEW YORK CITY LAME BACK IF YOUR GLANDS ARE WEAK YOU SUFFER FROM A LAME BACK OMIN INFUSER STRENGTH NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 24, 1926 Mr. Belasco's 'Lulu Belle' THE special weekly theatrical comment usually found in this column on this page, can be found on page 7 of this issue. WELL, at the personal request of Mr. David Belasco we have seen the much talked about "Lulu Belle" at the Belasco Theatre, and we are not in the same frame of mind as we were before we had an opportunity of seeing and appraising for ourselves this show. BUT before we go into the impression left upon us by this newest vehicle, which is at the present time holding the attention of Broadway theatregoers, let us address the moment and indulge in the enthousiasm which apprise us an article on the show especially written for the New York Age by Mr. Lester A. Walton, at present a writer for the New York World. FOR years we have pointed out to our readers that Mr. Walton is the most able writer of things theatrical, as they affect the Negro in this country, and though the passin' got the years have brought us many accomplished young men and young women writing on Negro theatricals. Mr. Walton still remains in the bosom of being occupied from this country, and though the passing of the years have brought us many bondage, has brought many shysters to essay to write on things which it is impossible for them to appreciate. Mr. WALTON has not as yet viewed Mr. Belaseo's latest offering, but he did, he has his misgivings as everything, judging from what the learned critics both "for and against" points to another one of those shows again disclosing the worst side of our life for the edification of those whom it is so easy to impress that we are cursed with a bad streak from which we will never be able to pry ourselves. Mr. Walton holds to the same opinion as we did in these columns for the past few weeks, and even now he is not enthusiastic about going to see "Lulu Belle," but will make it his business to view the show in the near future. And in spite of what we will say further on in this column today, we again repeat the call for the better side of our lives to be given a chance before the white people of America. We saw "Lulu Belle" and today we are happily amused because, we are firmly convinced that there will be very few white people adding to their ill thoughts of Negroes because of this show. Why because the coming is a capital collection of a phase of life which exists, we have the people of every race making up the conglomeration of races which we today make of America, auditors are going to find it hard to saddle it upon the Negro and make themselves believe that "Lulu Belle" exist only among us. We do not believe it is necessary for us to give a detailed account of the show. This has been ably done by more facile pens than we possess. our Impressions are what we must now give our readers. Is the show true to life? Aye. It is with a vengeance and while the opening scene depicting San Juan Hill is somewhat overdrawn. If we must think of this section of the city as it exists today, all we need do is to look back to the back alleys of Greenwich Village. Minetta Lone and Cornella Street my worthies! It even takes us back to Hart's alley, Mack place and other streets of their kind across the bridge in Brooklyn, when that fair city of churches hid its own major art and so an ably bring to the stage a true reproduction of certain phases of life as it is. But do not lose sight of the fact, gentle and urgent reader, that HOGAN'S ALLEY, OF THE IRISH, IS BEING DONE IN BLACK AT MR. BELASCO'S OILATRE. This "Lulu Belle" is indeed a thrapology in show and can which we believe intelligent members of this race can witness without showing the least sensitivity. AT THE age of twenty we would have been shocked at "Lulu Belle." At thirty we would have been grieved, but at forty, after having ran the gamut of experiences, which brought the knowledge we have always sought, being that we have been romantically inclined from childhood, it is easy to see the truth, admit it and then stand without fear of intellect. Belle as we have seen, and but for the creed of race prejudice which is America, each and every character essayed in the piece by whites under make-up could be played by artists we would not have to go far to find. BUT please do not misunderstand us. This is no attempt to take away from the white actors in the various parts. Miss Lenaura Ulrich, an ma cherrie, I kiss zee tlp of zee finger and would stand before a howling mob and tell them that she is one grand actress. One does not want to forget the pedestal on which stands Lenaur and pay tribute to her accomplishments. Had Fate decreed that we were to do our allotted span on this mundane sphere as a member of the race which the Indians call paletace and we were cast in this same role, we could find the inspiration in Miss Lenaur's performance. In a doubt, place us in that charmed circle of critics to whom America look the morning after a first night on Broadway. PERSONALLY we have plumbed those depths from whence came "Lulu Belle." We have seen almost a true reproduction in real life those things being enacted in the land of make-believe at the Belasco Theatre, and our only fear was that this would be another slap to our race. We are honest in repeating the assertion that in spite of "Lulu Belle's" apparent fall from grace at an early age and a life most sordid, we are not the only one in this show another writer of the depravity without any redeeming qualities with which our enemies would saddle us. In our impressions of the show there is something tugging at our heart which tells us that David Belasco has some deep plan in his mind which will yet give us our opportunity to appear at our best. We firmly believe that opportunity is knocking at the door from which will step Alex Rogers, greatest of all dramatic writers of the Negro race, to meet the man for whom he will be engaged to write the show that will not only dismisse Mr. Belasco as the brave man for writer of the show, but also as the man for writer of the chance to prove to America that we can be serious as we have been funny in those lighter things called musical comedy, the only avenue through which we have been able to reach those who would perhaps give us a better thought. NOW let us continue to try to be fair and look at another angle which induces us to believe that David Belasco will be the man to do something worth while for us yet. Seats at the Belasco are sold our for weeks ahead. Mr. Belasco's clientele is white, and his show will not have to depend upon the patronage of the colored people to support it. In faith, we saw none of color last Wednesday night. Regardless of what colored America thinks of his production, there will be none among us to say it may, and it will continue to enjoy the success which greeted colored America that no anterior motivo prompted the staging of this show, and by cracky, although we have not met the man personally, and he has not said so. I have read between the lines of the appended letter which took us to the Belasco Theatre last Wednesday evening: It has just come to my knowledge that you have not been invited to see my production of "Lulu Belle," which opened last Tuesday evening for the public. I will be very generous for you to come as my guest next Wednesday evening, February 17th. I wish I could have had you in sooner, but the advance sale has been so tremendous that I cannot provide seats for you before that date. I will be very happy to public some weeks before the opening, and the sale has been very heavy. Please let me know if the evening designated is convenient, and I will have two tickets sent to you. YES, indeed, Lulu is a vampire of the lowest element of our life, but when one journeys from the streets of San Juan Hill to the beautiful hooloire in which Lulu met her death, one naturally goes with sympathy for the weak creature who toll for the wiles of the girl and left an honorable home to become a pimp. That criticle of the Graphite who said that Jack Johnson should be a play for larger circulation in the paper on the symphites of the colored people. To us it is those who are living lives like the George of the play who should cry cloud, and not against the play, but against the damnable weakness that blurs the mind and impels them to forsake in a mad rush of desire the home which it has perhaps taken many years of toll and sacrifice to create—and that in spite of the voluptuous charms and hypnotism of such creatures like Lulu, we are still in the midst of a foundation of civilization. And a tear of sympathy for Lulu, too, because without such as her virtue would not get its reward. Theatrical Editor Amaterdna Nows, City, NY My dear M. Dougherty: DAVID BELASCO Marie Prevost Triumphs in New Mystery Comedy "Seven Sinners" Follows Fashion in Cinema Styles and Supplies Plenty of Laughs Spiced With Thrills and Will Be Shown at the Lincoln Theatre This Week THE fashion of the cinema season dictates comedy spiced with mystery, laughs mingled with thrills, and Marie Prevost, who is nothing if not fashionable, has followed the mode with her usual sparkling success. Starting her photoplay season with "Bobbed Hair," she has followed it with "Seven Sinners," and repeated the hit scored in the earlier picture. "Seven Sinners," which opened at the Lincoln Theatre for a run of four days, is mystery-comedy at its best. Once more Miss Prevost moves in the smart surroundings of a Long Island mansion, but this time she is not, as she was in "Bobbed Hair," one of the social clich. In "Seven Sinners" she appears as a pliquant girl of the underworld, who enters the world of luxury with a jimmy. She uses the jimmy with burghardens intent, and she would, no doubt, have made off with the loot had she not been surrounded by six other thieves who are operating independently in the same mansion. It is a game of crook beat crook that these seven fascinating criminals such杰杰, and baffling suspense that they are likely to send any audience into sales of laughter. Miss Provost is surrounded by an excellent supporting company that includes Clive Brook, Heinle Coillin, Claude Gillingwater, Matthilde Brandage, John Patrick and Fred Kebsey. Lewis Millestone, who directed the picture, also wrote the story for it, in collaboration with Darryl Prunnelz Zannack. This is Mr. Millestone's first directorial effort, and, while even he would hardly claim that it sets a milestone in the making of pictures, it is rattling good screen entertainment; peaceful, tastful, and slick. Miss Provost, whose success in the fight against obesity notably "The Marriage Circle" and "Kiss Me Again", have made her possibly the most consummate commendation now in the films, has a role that gives wide play to her powers. She makes Molly Brian, the girl crook, a character to be loved, in spite of your own moral censor, and a character to be enjoyed. Johnson and Gordon at Town Hall Sunday A concert which should appeal to all lovers of Negro spirituals will be given at the Town Hall on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 25, by J. Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon. Artists of rare ability, their method of presentation is unique. Taylor Gordon is featured as soloist, but behind him at the piano dominates the arrangement. J. Rosamond Johnson, who arranges the music, plays the accompaniments and occasionally adds his crooning melodic voice. J. Rosamond Johnson is an educated man and a trained musician. He is too young to have known the days of slavery, yet in his interpretation he is true to the tradition of those of his forebears who were slaves and who made their way to the city in which they lived and worked, and out of simple hearts filled with a strong faith. Taylor Gordon brings to his singing that spirit or those other Negroes who sang as they worked, humbanding their strength for their singing, and expressing their spiritual expression in improvisations superbly melodic. Famous French Picture at the Renaissance "The New Commandment" Also Underlined for Showing at This House This Week. The thousands of movie lovers who make the Renaissance Theatre the favorite place to see the heat in the picture, are awaiting anxiously Thursday. March 4 for the coming to that theatre of that great screen presentation "The Phantom of the Opera." with Lou Chaney. Lain in Paris, the scene is typically Parisian. Love, intrigue and thrills, together with mystery, make this picture one of the most interesting ever produced, and it is undoubtedly Lou Chancy's greatest achievement. Perhaps the most striking and most spectacular scene is engaged for screen is seen in "The Phantom of the Opera" when the lovers are rescued from the torture chamber.

Thousands of dollars have been extended in interior decorations, the dining room is superb, furnishings luxurious, to the least, and we guarantee that visitors to this gala palace on the opening night will find this gorgeous dance equipment to the minutest detail possible for the comfort and enjoyment of the tremendous patronage of whose presence the management is assured. The Savoy is to be operated by the Associated Ballrooms, Inc. Among the directors are men who have built and operated such palaces as the Roseland, the Arcadia and the Rosemont. The novel difference in the Savoy is that it will be operated exclusively for and by colored people under the direction of Mr. Charles P. Buchanan. Every night and on Sundays and holiday afternoons you can, by paying a small admission fee, enjoy yourself to your heart's content. New Douglas Theatre 142ND ST. AND LENOX AVE.

Carl Carter Upsets Dope by Knocking Out Bud Gorman in the First Round Black Bill and Bruce Flowers Share in the Honors of the Night, Which Saw Only One Colored Fighter on the Losing End, and He a Perpetual Loser in the Person of One Jimmy Braxton, Perennial Fourrounder BOUNDING from his corner like an unleashed tiger last Saturday night at the Commonwealth Sporting Club, Carl Carter with one smack of his right hand went and upset the dope which had him either losing or winning a hard earned decision from Bud Gorman, a highly touted white hope, carrying the bulk of the money bet on the outrage of the night. The case with which Carter knocked out Gorman in one minute and twenty-eight seconds has caused many to wonder if the Cuban is a much better fighter than he has been given credit for. Gorman came to the Commonwealth with a record of which his white supporters appeared to be exceedingly proud, and when he was knocked through the ropes by a well timed wallop a wall of despair that could be heard for blocks was the result.

SMITH'S (AUGMENTED) MODERN DANCE ORCHESTRA For Reservations Phone Audubon 1299 The men hardly started when Carter shot a deadly right to Gorman's chin and Paul went through the second strand almost helpless with Carter falling upon him. That blow won the light, for when the white fighter again came to the mans Carter took his time and in the seconds that slapped while he added for an opening the Curtiss was no blow. Another night direct to the point of the light sent German to the cavalry, from which he tried to rise to the count of seven, but he was a beaten man and all in. It was many minutes before he came to afford being work over by his seconds and he could hardly believe the fight was when Peter Prunty announced the warmer. In the first ten of the evening, Black Bill won without hardly any effort from Eddie Zeliger, Zeliger did not have a chance and was hardly pasted in every round with many believing that Bill could have him away did the Cuban so desire.

Bruce Flowers knocked out Johnny Burgess in the second round of the semi-final ten. Burgess was pinch hitting and at the same time making his debut at the Commonwealth. He tried hard to make a fight of it and although the first round gave every indication of him going particularly Johnny did not take a back step. He was smacked a good one on the chin in the second and was pulled to his corner sadder, but wiser for his attempt. The opening four found Jimmy Braxton taking his usual beating. During the course of this fight which found Braxton paired with Jimmy Humphries, the fans spent the time trying to recall just when Jimmy has won in the arena in any battle in which he has engaged. This Humphries boy was a hard nut for Braxton and even at those times when Jimmy had to hand Jimmie three or four in quick succession. A friend of Braxton opined that the hell in the last round announcing the end of the fight sounded like sweet music to Jimmie. GAMES WANTED The Yonkers Big Five, formerly the "Tygars," champions of Westchester County, are willing to play any teams in the radius of 100 miles. For information see Mr. P. L. Ryerson, of 213 New Main street, Yonkers, N. Y. TUCKER SCORES TWO KNOCKOUTS COMING on the wings of a chill wind as we sat to our duty pounding out the information which we are charged to give the public from week to week, was the news of the death of Blanche Deas Harris, which left us shocked and numbed for the moment. DEATH is something one cannot help but look for, but when the relentless call comes, summoning those we have had the pleasure and oftimes the honor of knowing, it leaves its deep impression and the memory files back to recall scenes and incidents in the lives of those taken from us to their last resting place. Stops Searles and Hoffman at Crescent A. C. Amateur Bouts Saturday Night WE KNEW Blanche Deas in that period of both our lives when we looked forward enthusiastically to the future. We did not know at that time what Fate hold in store for us, but our roads were parallel, she the world of the theatre and we to record the doings of the people in the sphero she had chosen. When the opportunity came to tell of her success upon her return to those scenes of early girlhood that we both knew it was with an enthusiasm bred of the inspiration which she gave because of her accomplishments. Stevo Tucker of the Salem-Crescent A. C. scored two knockouts at the Crescent A. C. bouts last Saturday night in the 133-pound class. His first victim was Johnny Soares of the Trinity Club, who succumbed to Tucker's punishing body attack in the first round. In his final bout against Justis, Hoffman of the National A. C. he pursued the same tactics and the contest was stopped. Somehow, Hoffman reached the final by gaining a three-round verdict over Johnny Lembardil of Yorcee's Boxing School. IT WAS some years back that Miss Deas left Brooklyn to attend the Boston Conservatory of Music. She left a circle of friends who bade her Godspeed, and when she returned to her old home it was a happy circle of old acquaintances who gathered to see her in one of the popular musical comedies of the time. Although originally she had a concert career, she heard the call of the theatre and there for years she took a leading part in those comedies which we of that generation will never forget. HER modesty was appealing, her charm irresistible and the birdliness of her voice was to entrancing her name soon adorned the chimes of the house she had attained. And even as the hand of death fell heavily upon her it left regret and sorrow in the city from which she journeyed to prepare for her career. Alex Rogers, sage of the world in which Blanche earlier had found success, had been busy working on a show in which he had hoped to bring back Miss Deas part that would have given her a chance of using the talents she journeyed to prepare for her career. And while we mourn her loss, it is fitting that a tear should be shed here in the old city by those who glorified in the attainments of Blanche Deas. In the years that came Miss Deas married "Tip" Harris, who also lived in the city famed for its religious apres, which dot her skyline. Those who lived at the Lafayette in we join his large circle of friends in extending that sympathy which can only come from those who knew the couple well and basked in the sunshine of their acquaintance. D. Cronin of the Emmanuel House won from A. Farina in the final of the 112-pound class, while Steve Locasolo defeated Andy Marotta in the three-round division. The summary: 112-Pound Class—A. Farint, St. Raphael's Club, defeated Sain Emmanuel, National. A. C. three rounds, defense, defeated Nat. Sommers, House, defeated Nat. Sommers, Clark House, three rounds, decision. Alain-Cronin defeated A. Farina, three rounds, decision. IT is good to note that with the coming of age and the passing of time one either returns to a childlike state of mind or that senility associated with age, or they become tempered through the experience which time and knowledge brings. We who are always looking back to that time when Williams and Walker became the sensation of two contents can never forget how Alan Dale poked fun at us as we danced our best and hastened to the Majestic Theatre to enjoy those grand and shows written by Jesse Shipp, Alex Rogers, with Marion Cooke and others of great guild to enable for the laurels won in the distribution of the American stage. It was Alan Dale who saw in the colored actors in "Lulu Belle" the potentialities which would make Broadway sit up and take notice if given their rightful chance to appear in the drama. 147.Pound Class (Special Bout) -Dave Slowowitz, unattached, knocked out Vincent Paterru, Trinity Club, second round. Carl Carter Again at Commonwealth This Week Heavyweight Who Scored Sensational Knockout Over Gorman Will Meet Jack Herman in Star Bout. When Carl Carter, Cuban champ who knocked out Bul Gorman at the Commonwealth Sport Club last Saturday night, put over that sensational punch in such short order he banged his way right into big time position, reason is that Matchmaker Eddie McMahon of the Commonwealth is bringing Carter back in the star bout at the Harlem club this Saturday night. Carter's two death dealing punches that placed Gorman in the horizontal position were delivered with so much finesse there is no question of his victory being a fluke. Hundreds will turn out to see the now heavy threat when he meets Gorman this week-end. In another star twelve of the evening, Jack DeMave will go in against Stanley Norman, while in the six rounder Johnny Huber will meet Nick Bartel. The card arranged by McMahon gives promise of another sell out at the popular Commonwealth. Hubbard Sets New Record for 65-Yard Dash Just at the time when many thought De Hart Hubbard was going back the great colored athlete uncovered a sensational performance, which has again brought him into the spotlight of the athletic world. The world's record which has stood for 18 years was broken in the seventh annual running of the American Legion track games in Boston on Monday afternoon, February 22, when Hubbard sprinted 65 yards in 6 4-5 seconds. The old mark was seven seconds. Hubbard, holder of the world's record in the broad jump, twice covered the distance in the new time, first in a preliminary heat and again in the finals. His performance rounded out a strenuous day in which he won the 50-yard dash and finished second in the 50-yard low hurdles event. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 24, 1926 Tiger Flowers on Trial at Madison Square Garden on Friday Night Tiger Flowers on Trial at Madison Square Garden on Friday Night His Battle With Greb Will Show if He Is Ready to Attempt to Wipe Out These Defeats Handed Him by Monsieur Ghape-delaine WALK MILLER'S Atlanta Tiger will leave the jungles of his native habitat long enough this coming Friday night to again hit the trail at Madison Square Garden and attempt to repeat his Ohio victory over Harry Greb. middleweight champion of the world. This is quite some undertaking for Theodore Flowers, but all the glory, in the fistic world will be his if he can defeat Harry. His quick retreat on two occasions, to the canvas, hastened by the blows of Monsleur Chapel-de-laine, has left colored Harlem in doubt of the ability of Theodore Flowers to win from Harry Greb, and that in spite of his victory over Mike McTigue. The colored sport when stung twice in the same place becomes marry, and while he will cut out his garden he will win the Rickle Garden on Friday night, it will not be with the same spirit of confidence that marked his first trip to the big amphitheatre when he heartened unto the call of Walk Miller and and Jess McMahon to see the Tiger cut loose against Mr. Delaney. And it is this very element of OF COURSE, we are forced to confess that Alan comes to the fore rather late with his encomiums but better late than never. We are simply looking back to that time when we, as a representative of the Quality Amusement Corporation, under Robert Levy, extended a personal invitation to Mr. Dale to witness one of his plays then being acted upon the stage of the Lafayette Theatre by colored stage. Both sides of the race presses him and sees those colored men and women rising to the same heights the white performers did who appeared in the original production from his pen. We look back to those stirring days with regret that comes from realizing that "they are gone forever." A VISIT from Mr. Frank Schiffman of the Lafayette Theatre last Saturday afternoon is in the nature of my opinion, which I volced a long time ago," said Mr. Schiffman during the course of our conversation, "that there is an honesty of purpose and sincerity in the work you are doing which cannot be denied, but there are others you are ORDERED TO US, and I will call it that." And naturally we are now given to wondering, for Mr. Schiffman reminded us that he it was who inaugurated the midnight closing hour for the theatre catering to Negroes in this section of the city. DERHAPS we are inclined to beow too strong to the line at times, and caring not one whit where the chips may fall, but when we look about us and see the things we can enjoy with just the slithest meal of sacrifice we cannot resist the temptation of jumping to the house-tops and asking our brothers to wake up and stop chasing rabbits and those vapid things in life which leave the good writings gentlemen calling them so good that they lose the good writings gentlemen calling them our friends feel the effect of our spears hurled all with the savagery of a condition brought about by race prejudice. It is not our aim or purpose to wound these people, but how can they escape unnoticed when we use drastic measures in trying to wake up a slumbering people? YOU, and you, and you will perhaps rise to ask why do we constitute ourselves a self-appointed committee of one to speak so blatantly of the grievances to which we are all subject, but you, and you, and you all seem to forget that it is a duty which we own our generation and a duty which must be faced at some time or other. Then, too, the duty of servicing our readers steals all of which the common people have lost until immolated by the call of the ages to come. As we explained to Mr. Schiffman, we are certain things that must be done in spite of, if not because of, those among us, whose only reaction is to the complex of amusement and the lighter things. I insist that quio a number of us must learn to be serious at times, and we can only drive home the story of how the penalties that come into dollars that bring wealth, power and money that go with our forgetting the tendency to break down the color line—we will be making our contribution to one of the greatest accomplishments in our progress. AND it is that same seriousness which at times pulls at our heart strings because of the things we miss because of our blind enjoyment that leads nowhere. Mr. Schiffman tells us how he aims to give his patrons nothing but clean shows, and when we go to the theatre the same thing happens, and we honor us with his in the past returning when the strip is brought on the stage and the little doggie jumps out in the midst of the comedy parlor that hardens leaves anything to the imagination "Certainly I have been audience for much." Mut in Mah Stall" and the other kind of blues which had their makings in gutter minds, but what of it? That proves nothing. They would raze the theatre off its foundation in their joy if the hottest thing in hot shows were allowed, but common decency will rise to say them less, and the sulcure biff—that bit from which jumps the little doggie at what those "putting over" the joko will call the psychological moment. FATHER, deliver us from ourselves. They tell me there are about two thousand of my kind within a certain radius of this place they call Harlem, and yet the time is as far away as ever before we can erect one of those places they call "little theatres," where our hopes and aspirations when enacted upon its stage will reach down into our hearts, and there leave a desire for the better things. going to tell me that the vicinity of that same Layette Theatre did not enjoy a wonderful and most wholesome atmosphere when Gilpin, Mitchell, Blahoe, Desmond, Tom and Walker Thompson and that band When they loft came the Inn on the one side and the Hooters' (what ever that means) Club on the other side, and when you add to that the unadorned pictures of the ladies embellished in the midst of it all with their accompaniment of jazzist of jazz signs making the section look like circus day in Dixie (every day) and ask to be returned to the melded village of Oliver Goldsmith. A newspaper they print is the melded of public opinion. Whether such desire or not, there are few going to willingly admit that it is not their desire to MOLD IN THE MANNER THEY HOPE WILL CREATE THE MOST GOOD, Selah! Carter K.O's Bud Gorman in One Round doubt which will make the Grob-Flowers fight the attraction it will surely be when the doors are opened and that vast multitude start to roll into the smokeless atmosphere. We would not be surprised to see Philadelphia coming in from Philadelphia to get an oye-oh spell of excitement that the Tiger laid down in his fight with Delaney but we believe his spirit became tempered when Flowers won from McTigue. However blows the wind on Friday night, it will be with a feeling of trepidation that radio fans will listen in here in Harlem, hoping for the announcement that will again leave the Georgia Deacon sitting on the top of the world. We can say for Flowers though, regardless of the outcome this is going to be a battle worth soeing and Greb is going to find it harder than Delaney did in trying to reach the vulnerable spot in the armor of the tiger. Salem Grooming Stewart for Coming Championships With the New York State champs, only three weeks away, Harold Streeter, Salem-Crescent's manager, is holding his men to a rigid schedule of training. Mr. Streeter expresses great hope in George Stewart, and intends to have his protege in the best shape of his career. Stewart is the boy who fought Prentice from the present Met. champion of the 125-pound class, to a draw, in the Garden tournament. The decision was finally awarded to Anderson after the judges had ordered an extra round. To all appearances Stewart had the fight well in hand when the bell rang for the close of the fourth round, for Anderson's face was smeared with blood from cuts inflicted by Stewart's platinum-like flesh, while himself was absolutely unmarked. It was 8:30 in the morning when this bout ended, and it is still a mystery why the judges had to call SEVEN for an extra round, when it was quite evident to all present that Stewart had clearly outboxed his opponent. The decision was welcomed with boos and catcalls, Friends of the Salem-Crescent regret to see the 160-pound champion the present 160-pound champion at this time, for he would be a sure thing in the State champs.

M. C. A. Supreme Court Justice Strong, speaking last week before four hundred white and colored persons at a race relations meeting of the Carlton Branch Y. M. C. A., declared that in contrast with the South the North offers the greater opportunity for the colored man, and in consideration of this fact an effort should be made to shift the colored population northward. "Since the Civil War the intellectual and economic progress of the Negroes in the North has been remarkable." Justice Strong told his audience. "In the South progress has been slower. It would be a simple thing to bring the colored people up North and let them take advantage of the opportunities offered to colored people here." In addition to the human interest there is an economic question involved. Justice Strong continued. The effect of the proposed transportation upon labor would in no way be undesirable, he added. "It is said that labor is scarce because of the immigration laws." Justice Strong said. "The Negroes, all first class Americans, would easily be able to fill all the openings if they were brought North where the demand is greatest." Rabbit Alexander Lyons of the Eighth Avenue Temple, and the Rev. Dr. E. E. Tylier, pastor of the Bridge Street African M. E. Church, were the other speakers on "The Fundamental Feelings and Attitude of White and Colored People in Relation to the Race Question." Dr. Lyons urged cooperation between the white and colored peoples in the interest of both races. He said too much has been said and too little done toward bringing about a better understanding between the two races. Dr. Jesse F. Moorland, chairman of the board of managers of the "Y." was chairman. A. L. Comither, executive secretary of the branch, spoke on the work of the branch and announced that one of the biggest events planned by the "Y" will be in the chorus recital to be given April 8 at the Academy of Music.

Another, Arthur Hobson, 40, colored, of 19 North Prince street. Flushing, was sent to Sing Sing for from three and a half to seven years, on the story told by his daughter, Julia Hobson, now in the House of the Good Shepherd. Brooklyn. Joseph Ellis, 22. of Annapolis, Md., was sent to Elmira by Judge Abel on Tuesday. He was found guilty of robbing Louis Guardiano, a fish dealer of Liberty avenue, Jamaica. Ellis entered the fishman's store and ordered some fish. When told that the variety of fish he desired was not available he seized Guardiano by the throat and demanded all his money. By placing a knife against the fishman's throat and threatening him with death, he forced him to elevate his arms and hands and thrust his hands into his pocket and removed a wallet containing $22. Guardiano broke away from Ellis and rushed to the street and called for the police. Ellis was later found by Detective John T. Kuedell in the bedroom of the family of an Italian, where he attempted to conceal himself. Colored Mothers' Affair The Colored Mothers' Club are planning to entertain the colored January graduates from the grammar and high schools. Mrs. Joseph Steele, 177 Halsey street, is in charge of arrangements. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 24, 1926 News of Brooklyn and Long Island According to the Queens Bureau of the City Finance Department, only a small percentage of the Queens property owners have availed themselves of the privilege of registering their property with the bureau. Registration will save the possibility of the levying of interest charges for tardy payment of taxes or assessments. There is no charge for registration. All that is required is the filing of a notice containing the ward, block, volume and lot numbers, with the address and name of the owner. Registration will insure the arrival of tax or assessment bills within the grace period of 60 days. The officials attribute the small number of registrations to the number of new property owners who have had no previous experience in real estate.

On Saturday afternoon of this week a cake sale will be given in an unoccupied store on Post avenue by Mrs. Anna B. Levi and Miss Marie L. Martin for the benefit of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Among those on the pick list are Miss Emily Levi, Mrs. Vernie Oliver, Mr. Edward Bunn and Mrs. Ursina Brown. Eminent Jurist Establishes Precedent Eminent Jurist Establishes Precedent So very contrary to the procedure usually followed in this and other jurisdictions was the action of Judge Geo. W. Martin, sitting in Criminal Branch, Part No. I, Kings County Court, in appointing as chief counsel in a murder case a Negro attorney, the writer is moved to the extent of bringing the incident to the attention of every Negro reader of your widely circulated paper, and to the many white people who also subscribe, for the purpose of obtaining a more intimate knowledge of what transpires among us as a "national" group. On the 18th of January last the Grand Jury of Kings County returned a verdict of first degree murder against Geo. H. Moseley, colored for the killing of one Geo. Jenkins, also colored. Three days after the presentment Moseley was brought before the court for arraignment and pleaded not guilty. On telling the court he was without guilt, Thomas L. Higgins, then in court on another case, signed by Judge Martin to defend Moseley, having as his assistant in the case a whistleblower to secure the annals of legal history throughout to secure juridical of New York, to say nothing of those States in which no attempt is made to conceal the fact that Negro lawyers are regarded as being inferior professionally, but as human beings. For instance in that "great" State of Delaware, where a Negro lawyer has never been permitted to face a court. The remarkably peculiar and attractive phase of Judge Martin's assignment is that he so willingly and openly manifested his appreciation of the unquestionable ability and close adherence to the ethics of the legal profession on the part of Counsellor Higgins that he made especial mention of the same at the time of making the assignment, which in itself is a very intrigue happening. Judge Martin, of his own free will, and inherent desire to give credit where it is due, and not be governed by the prejudices responsible for the numerous discouragements and ultimate abandonment of commendable undertakings, has always as a Jurist enjoyed the respect and confidence of his entire community, and your writer feels safe in stating that his action in this particular case will have its own natural effect upon the minds and feelings of the Negroes of this country, in which they subscribe proportionately, as taxpayers, to the proper conduct of this great municipality, and contribute largely to the religious, educational, and political welfare as well.

Magistrate Doyle, who possesses a keen sense of humor, sat in the Flushing Magistrates' Court and heard a number of cases involving delinquent husbands. Samuel Blanchard, 21, colored, of 10001 108th avenue, Jamaica, was arranged on a charge of abandonment made by his wife, Catherine, of 60 Myrtle avenue, Flushing. "Your wife says you don't give her any money. How is that?" asked the Magistrate. "Walt, your Honor," said the defendant, "I have had so many debts lately that I haven't come around to that yet, but I'll take care of her." "That's all he does," said Mrs. Blanchard. "He tells me that he'll take care of me, but I don't get no money." "I guess we'll have to call him 'Promising Sam.'" said the Magistrate. "He has fallen down so often on his promises. I suppose he would be surprised now if he made good on any of them. You know, Sam, there is work for men like you over on Welfare Island. If you don't make good on your promise this time that's where you will find a job." Mrs. Blanchard said her husband makes $20 a week. He offered to give his wife $5 each week. "Your mother's down there in the back of the courtroom wig-wagging $10." said Magistrate Doyle, to Mrs. Blanchard. "I just caught her signal, but I think that's too much. How about $$ a week, Sam? I will give you a chance to say yes' before I do." "I guess if you pay up there will be no one more surprised than yourself," concluded the Magistrate. "I want you to feel. Mrs. Blanchard, that $8 a week is coming to you, and if that don't come in Sam is going out of the picture." Elmhurst, L. I., Man Held in Heavy Bail John Mahon, 27, of Dry Harbor road.

Mrs. Seitz testified she was on her way home Monday evening and was walking through a farm on Dry Harbor road a short distance from her home when Mahon, who had accompanied her part of the way against her wishes, attempted to assault her. She screamed for help, she said. Her cries were heard by neighbors. Here to Attend His Mother's Funeral News of the death of Mrs. E. H.

However, Saturday night, the 12th found the Flushing Educational Committee lodged in the dining room of Ebenezer at 8:30, ready to fete the February graduates of the grammar and high school departments, which was done, as usual, in a manner befitting such an occasion. President E. K. Jones called on Pastor Ryland, whose remarks on the occasion elicited hearty applause. He then called on Mrs. Norman, who presented selected articles to graduates meant to encourage them to go higher up in search for knowledge. Miss M. J. Martin was in charge of diets.

Years of Practice In Extracting Thousands of Teeth Enables Me News of Churches, Fraternities and Organizations Should the Church Advertise? Should the Church Advertise? RUTH R. DENNIS Should the church advertise? Should the church cease praying for men and women to follow Christ? One question is just as ridiculous as the other. Very old, indeed, is advertising. The rainbow in the clouds, according to Scripture, was about the earliest advertisement. God promised that men should not be destroyed with a flood again. In that advertisement, brilliant in color, magnificent in size, Supreme Power announced the fact that that particular flood was to be the last flood. The churches have neglected or refused to advertise because they thought it benchtheir dignity. Many ministers have feared being called "sunsational." They are not cowardly in this fear but simply imagine that it will weaken their influence and thus render them ineffective preachers of the gospel. Someone has said that the church has lost on because while the world is becoming by airplane the church is still using the oxcart. Churchmen claim that it is not necessary to advertise because religion in itself is enough to draw and hold people. The modern church is exactly in the same position as any other business concern. In order to get new business it must advertise its goods. Jesus was in favor of advertising. He made the masses hear him. He did things that attracted attention. He did not do them to demonstrate His own power. He employed them as a method of getting folks to whom he would preach the gospel. He used a boat as a pulpit. He used a whip to drive out thieves from the temple and set the people to talking about Him. Jesus always employed the best ways known to his age to gain publicity for His message. Had the newspaper been in existence, He certainly would have used it. To draw a crowd is easy. To attract and hold a congregation is a more difficult matter. A crowd is no evidence of success, but an empire is not. A good proof of failure in any community where people live, and especially where that community is as conquered as Harlem. It seems as though the world cares nothing for the church. It has not been so long since men sacrificed much for her. It meant a man sacrificing his life. Conditions have changed. The radio, automobile, theatre and other things have been given as excuses for the change. Many churches with good morning congregations have discontinued evening services completely, and now they are in a desperate effort to attract a crowd have used moving pictures, lectures, teas, social functions and any number of other expedition. A few years ago the church door was almost the only open door on Sunday evening. Now who does the church have open and strenuously competing for youth's patronage? To fill the empty pew is the responsibility of the church itself. Jesus never commanded men to go to church. He commanded the church to go out into the highways and byways and compel them to come in. To do that it is not necessary for any church to attempt to take the place of the theatre in the community. People want comfort and spiritual food. They desire to worship. When they entertain, they want it outside of the theatre. Our group is inherently religious, yet it is tending toward the other extreme rapidly. We, of all people who need God, most seem to be straying farthest away. Last week's editorial in part portrays our condition. "We stand more in need of a virile young manhood and womanhood than any other racial group in America. We are more severely articulated; our opportunities more limited, and our incomes smaller; and the same pay. Our achievements must be proportionately greater to receive equal recognition; oppression and discrimination hit us a hard blow. We stand in greater need of honest, courageous leadership in all lines of human endeavor. Therefore, our morals and our character are nationally higher plane than that of other racial groups if we are to survive the crucial tests ahead of us. The younger generation today is the older generation tomorrow. It is an idle hope to suppose that our youth of today can run riot, burn the candle at both ends, dissipate its fire, and acquire its tombow, when the future of the race will be in its hands." Since our group is largely dependent on the church, then to the church comes this challenge to wake and do her full duty. "Should the church advertise? Should the church the church's duty to advertise as it is to pray. So many Christians so-called—will sit back differently and say that, if the gospel doesn't bring them, nothing also brings. No one denies that, us in the church, so until now, is poised to give God unto salvation for all who believe." It is the most desperately needed message in the world today. A well-known manufacturer of saline, powder used rills clause in advertisement recently. So companies are improving the can." The old gospel need not be changed, but a new way --- to present it with effectiveness may be found. Should the church advertise? It should give a plain and direct statement of what a man will hour in it which will inform and inspire him. Should the church advertise? It should waken the dying spirit of religion in the minds of those who give more attention to seeking pleasure and pleasure more than to the salvation of their souls. Should the church advertise? It should tell to everyone who wishes to lead a decent life of the power of religion to guide their head and strengthen their heart in the great crisis of life. The church should advertise because churching intelligently presented, offers the readiest and perhaps the only method of getting its neglected case before the public. It offers the only substitute for the old church bell. The church should advertise to reach and interest more people than the present manner of appeal does. The church has a work to do which the institution is able to undertake. With conditions just about deprived as they can be among civilized people, what will the church do? —NEXT WEEK— "How the Church Should Advertise" Mother Zion Church "Never man spake like this man," John T. 7:46, was the text of Rev.

E. churches of Philadelphia and vicinity, a spirited discussion took place regarding the appointment of a colored man in the office of the district attorney Philadelphia County. It was the unanimous decision of the meeting to ask for a colored man. There are now two black men, there has never been a Negro in any of these places. The Negroes now number nearly 200,000 people in Philadelphia's total population of 2,000,000. This means that there should at least be one assistant district attorney belonging to the colored race in the city. There are twenty-four lawyers in Philadelphia some from the best schools in America, and the A. M. E. men think at least one of them ought to be appointed with one of the existing vacancies. Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr., J. C. Beckett and I. H. Ringgold were appointed to interview the district attorney regarding the appointment. St. Benedict the Moor In the dear old church of St Benedict, in West 63rd street, two Capuchin monks, Father Thomas and Father Bertrand, began a mission on Sunday, February 21, at the o'clock once in the morning, for two weeks, finishing at the night service on Sunday, March 7.

A joint committee of these two organizations will be convened and authorized with representatives of other organizations interested in such a conference. The critical and tense situations between the two races in the matter of housing and industry in the problems of health have around increased public attention the past year, and the next conference will be held in discussion of the topics similar to the discussions held at Cincinnati in March or last year.

Fob. 22—St. Louis is losing much of the productive value of the Negro as a worker and as an intelligent citizen failing to supply the race with the same public educational, recreation and industrial advantages offered white citizens. Elwood Street, director of the Community Council, told the education committee of the College Club Wednesday afternoon. "The Negro must be housed adequately and docently for others as well as themselves. Under present conditions a Negro family often lives in one room and frequently has boarders in another. Congestion is a serious menace to the city, and well-being of the city" he declared. "Immorality is more prevalent among Negroes; there is delinquency among the children and all because the city does not provide adequate playgrounds, education, nor provide him with the same opportunities of making good his looture. We need the Negro be a good citizen we must give him the facilities to become so."

Preferred Stock Preferred Stock By C. E. ARMSTRONG. There is an opinion among the general investing public that preferred stock is much safer than common; this may or may not be. It is to be remembered that a stockholder, even though a preferred one, is a partner in the enterprise, while at times a preference may involve a little less risk, in outset of reorganization a shareholder as was experienced in 1920-21. Preferred stock as issued today carries a cumulative clause; that is, should there occur a time when their fixed rate of dividend was not cannot, it became a charge against the company and would have to be paid in the common Some preferred stocks have voting privileges and some do not. Thus that do not carry a voting privilege have a clause to the sense that, should the management default four successive dividend periods, the preferred stock would assume control of the company's management until such time as back dividends had been paid up Preferred stock has its place in any financial policy where the alm is the raising of a large sum of money, because it enables the management of the enterprise to reach a class of investors who would not be interested in common stock. Preferred stocks are grouped mainly around four sets of conditions. First, there are those conditions having to do with priority in dividends; second, there are those conditions having to do with the voting control of the company; third, there are those conditions having to do with the creation of securities having an equal or prior, lien on earnings; fourth, there are those conditions having to do with the distribution of assets in event of dissolution. It has been demonstrated, time and time again, that preferred stock does not offer the strongest a buoyant effect on its access to the decisive possibilities of common stock. Financial pirates have bought control of many enterprises through ownership of low-priced, non-dividend-paying common stock at bankrupt figures. By skillful financing and the deferring of earnings have been reinvested in the business and, after the enterprise has reached a very prosperous stage, the preferred stock was retired at a price fixed at the time of issue, leaving the ownership of the business, which had been made prosperous at the expense of the pre-retirement stock in the hands of common-stock holders. On the other hand, in event of receivership, which is usually followed by a reorganization, which many times leads to a revamping of the capital structure of the business, the preferred and common are assessed allie. In concluding this article, I strongly advise a thorough investigation into the various clauses governing the preference before investing. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE URGES SPECIAL COINS BOSTON, Mass.

Interior African Tries Ask for Gospel Teachers "We have just returned from a three weeks' tour into the interior of Angola, where our eyes have been opened to the beauty of Africa and to the ignorance of its tribes," reports the Rev. John C. Wengatz, of McCordsville, Indiana, missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Angola, Africa. "Six years ago when the people in the interior of Angola heard the Gospel for the first time, there were two chiefs especially who made a touching appeal for the Gospel to be brought to them and their people," says Mr. Wengatz. "They were promised that some one would come again and teach them some more; but though started there two years ago and then we could, we were not able to make the mountain climbs with our touring car and trailer and we had to come back, and nobody had ever reached them again with the message. Now our five-speed truck takes all the hills nicely and carries all the gasoline Dangerous Lies on Negro in Books False History Ideas Pointed Out by Carter G. Woodson "In history text books studied by children in the public schools of Patimore, Washington and Philadelphia the African is portrayed as a savage, matted hair, thick lips, with rings in his ears. "The Caucasian is represented by a photograph of Bismarck or Shakespeare, yet how many white people are like either of them? "There exists a propaganda, a systematicized plan to educate the world into believing that the African was only intended to become a heower of wood and a drawer of water—a burden bearer for superior people." "The whole course of study in public schools needs to be reconstructed. Histories in the schools which at present give only two lives and one photograph about scenes, all of it false, must give way to text books which tell the truth. "It's our job to get the truth of Negro history over first to Negroes, who for generations have been told they have no history, and then to take the truth to white people." Dr. Woodson's lecture was held in the auditorium of the Douglass High School and was attended by teachers of all city schools. Supervisor Francis M. Woods presided. "The most eminent scientists have failed to find any anthropological or psychological difference between black, yellow, brown or white people." "In this audience flows the blood of Indian, Chinese, Anglo-Saxon, Teston and all the other races. Who can say to what race you belong?" "There is a myth that, because of Negro slavery in America, the white race is superior. Three-fourths of all the people in the world are descendants of persons who at one time were serfs or slaves. "Superior civilization is the result of opportunity and environment. It is blasphemy to say that a just God would create one man to be inferior to another; that he chose one race and rejected another. "In Central Africa grow up thousands of years ago a civilization far superior to anything of that day. There were cities and well-governed nations. Trade flourished, there were universities, lawyers, whose history declared were as skilful in operations as many of this day. "Who can say that civilization of today, based as it is upon the exploitation of one man by another, is superior to that of the early Africans? "Their culture spread, influencing the civilization of Egypt, Crete and Athens. "Someone has said, not that God created man, but man created God in his own image. The African story of the beginning of the world is as fascinating as any other early stone sculpture. I used to think of Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon as the great characters of history. They are not: the greatest characters are those who have taught the world peace, progress and altruism, not blood, exploitation and conquest. "A third gift of the African to the world is his emotionalism—intensity of feeling expressed in the arts, in music especially and in religion. The Israelites in Egypt were so discouraged they barged their harps on the willows." Our forefathers, under similar circumstances, sang the David Plain in their Harp. Negroes in America's single gift to the world that has not had its origin in Europe." (Extracts from speech of Carter Woods during Negro History Week) and other provisional we need for the journey. "We found one of these chiefs had died, but we visited his village and talked to his people. I wish you could have seen the other one, Chief Gikuku, as he came hurrying out to the road to greet us when a messenger told him we had come, quite in contrast to the painted warrior who six years ago came with his braves, all armed with spears, knives and war clubs, and who refused to greet the white man until he had found out his business, today his face was wreathed in smiles and in his hand he proudly carried in little paper covered棉布, whose jacket of Matteo which had been worn six years before. The covers were much worn and the bright red on it badly faded. He couldn't read it, but said he had refused offers to sell it just because he wanted to have it when his white friend came back again. We exchanged presents with this chief, and his heart was very happy. "We pitched our tent and stayed with them three days teaching the people about God and heaven and our wonderful Saviour, Jesus. They listened eagerly and when we asked if they understood, one of them would repeat what had been said as if they really did get the message. It was the same old story; they want us to come and stay and they promise no end of school children for our schools. "When we were ready to go we said to the chief, 'Now will you remember what we have been telling you these days?' He answered: 'No, we will not remember it all. We will remember of you we will think of God, for it is you who have told us about Him.' "How it has rung in our ears since then, 'When we think of you we will think of God.' May God help us always to live so as to remind people of Him and of that sacrificing love that saves the world!

McCONNELL THE recent attempt at Chicago of White and Negro Communists to convert the American Negro workingman to Bolshevism, and incidentally to spread Communism among the colored people of the entire world, together with the fact that young men and women of the colored race are in Russia taking a three years' course of training for the Russian "diplomatic service," reveals for the first time the aims and purposes of Red Russia where the American Negro is concerned. lose and moth insume that Cats with Macking can mottally conservate the Red Flag is too much infation. This is not that a "black boy predicted as 1794 as a series of stories to prove that mother with them, were orgies for a fret terrests of Prairie that after the World War did that the Negro corrupted by but it turned was less pro For several months the Department of Justice has known that more than a hundred paid Communist workers have been steadily at work in the United States, and that some of them have been nanking a determined effort to arrest a Nero workers under the Soviet banner, with the idea of eventually staring a "black revolution." No attempt was made at the American Negro Labor Congress at Chicago to hide the fact that the movement is financed and directed from Moscow. In fact, it is estimated in Anglo-Japanese reports that $160,000 a year is being spent on organizing communism in the United States. The ambitions program, as set forth at Chicago, would have the Negro congress, under the leadership of Lovett Fort-Wittenan, known as the "reddest Red" of the Negro race, take the initiative in an attempt to "rally the Negro races against world imperialism." But the naming of white Communist workers on various committees is proof that the movement is not to be engineered and carried on by Negroes alone. It is these white Communists, Z. Z. Moser and his head, who have no doubt, with carefully laid plans and ample funds, to convince Negro workers that their economic, social and political emancipation is only to be had by affiliating with them. To quote a Chicago Communist daily: "As Communists we hail this (Nogro Labor) Congress as the beginning of a movement with far-reaching implications. Not merely can it be the means of starting to mobilize the Nogro workers for a struggle against the degrading restrictions imposed upon them as a race, but as American workers speaking the common language of the country they can become a in the labor movement. Furthermore they will receive training that will enable them to play an effective part in the mobilization of the approved colonial peoples angustiest capitalist." Now, while the Polishevki may be back of the rebellion of the Tifas, the troubles in China, the insurrections in India, the battles in the Balkans, the labor troubles in England, and the disturbances in Germany will illuminate that the Chicago pewsw, with all its fiery speeches and resolutions, will have any influence whatever upon the Norwegians of this country. Even if the American Negro workingman vox deceived by Moscow's perilous propaganda, there would be no reason for us to believe that we must bring the Negro worker into the Soviet fold. In the first place, the average Negro of today is not the gullible, somewhat filtrate, and usually improvident citizen of forty years ago. In any Communist revolution—in any general attack upon private property—the American Negro has proportionate as the American white man. Moreover, he knows this. According to Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Training School, the great Negro educational institution of the South, American Negroes now own real estate valued at $1,800,000. Negro insurance companies have increased their assets in ten years from $3.5 million to $7,500,000. face value of their assets in force has increased from $50,000,000 to $250,000,000. Seventy-three banks throughout the United States, run by Negroes for Negroes and owned by them, have a combined capitalization of $2,500,000, and their clearings have increased from $35,000,000 to around $100,000,000. Furthermore, there are sixty Negro fraternity organizations in the South today, with 1,000,000 members. They own bridge buildings and other property worth $6,000,000. The Negro is naturally a "boltor," but no amount of clever talking is going to make Communists out of millions of hoops who own their own homes, their own mobiles, manage their own stores, hotels, insurance companies, theatres and other enterprises, conduct their own colleges and have valuable knowledge in their own banks. It will be hard for them to adapt to fool them into taking part in an adventure in which they have everything to lose and nothing to gain. To assume that Chicago Communists with Moscow financial backing can move this essentially conservative rass under the Red Flag of Soviet Russia is to ask too much of the imagination. This is not the first time that a "black revolution" has been predicted. As far back as 1794 a series of wild circumstantial stories were published to prove that the French, together with the United Irishmen, were organizing the Negroes for a rebellion in the interests of France. In our own time, during the early days of the World War, it was predicted that the Negroes might be corrupted by German agents, but it turned out that there was less pro-Germans in the American Negroes than among any other element of the population. And 100,000 of them saw service in the World War. This record offers little encouragement to the Russian Communists who are circulating their propaganda among American Negroes. While the Negro is accustomed to rely on the white man for many things, to appreciate his help and to work with him, and while he realizes that to join the Reds would mean a breach with his employer, it nevertheless must be admitted that the Negro has certain so-called advantages. According to statements given out at Chicago, the Negro as a race is discriminated against; he is discriminated politically; he is compelled to ride in "Jim Crow" cars; he is segregated in certain large cities; he does not enjoy equal opportunities and equal pay with the white workingman; in the South there are not sufficient educational opportunities for his dress. Those, and occasional lynchings, contibit the Negro's life and impel him to occasional acts of rebellion. In these unfair economic and social practices lie the only real danger that the American Negro may become Bolshevized. The way to make him a better and safer element of our population is to conduct an intelligent, offensive against these real domestic menaces. If the American Negro becomes a radical it will be our fault, not Russia's. Police Officer Found Guilty Police Officer Found Guilty (Preston News Service.) ALBANY, Ala., Feb. 22. J. Monroe West, white, Albany police officer, was found guilty of first degree manslaughter and sentenced to serve seven years in the penitentiary in connection with the slaying of Asberry Murray, who died October 11, 1925. The case of Robert D. Stewart, another Albany officer, who is also held in connection with the killing, was continued and ball granted in the sum of $5,000. Appeal bond for Officer West was fixed at $2,000. In response to the question: "Have you reached an agreement?" from Judge O. Kyle, Foreman King replied that they had, and handed the decision to Circuit Court Clerk J. L. Draper. Not a sound was audible as Draper read the verdict of the jury. "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of manslaughter in the first degree and assess his punishment at seven years' imprisonment." The defendant was later arraigned before Judge Kyle and sentenced. Industrial Training in Uganda, Africa In the Elgin High School at Nabumale, Uganda, the boys, including the teachers in training, turn out with their hoses at 6:25 a.m. for two hours on the five regular working days of the week. Also each boy has a model plot according to his age, in which he may plant or sow whatever he likes in the garden. He is given for the best plots. This school has been fortunate in having a government agricultural officer who takes a keen and sympathetic interest in teaching agriculture. The whole school engages in the following handicrafts: carpentry of many kinds; brunh making, pottery, brick, and tile making in small quantities; bricklaying; sintery; the making of sandcastles, mats (false palm, and mountain) and ponchos (of home cured skins); spinning and weaving. Industrial training tends to dignify manual work and encourages knowledge, wisdom, knowledge, knowledge, local materials and their possibilities; it helps towards self-support and encourages unselfish habits, habits, habits, habits; it helps the pupil to decide his vocation in life and makes him a more useful citizen; it gives scope for originality, perseverance, knowledge, knowledge, knowledge, confidence, and enriches the mind with useful ideas. It completes the general education of body, mind, and soul, enabling the student to understand the stature in life and service. Southern Workman.

We C- Jigerhigen American News Sp “Auidresa ait conmunications and make all cheeks and noines anders parable oniy to The New vork Atnsterdain ROU SETS RN Aden ewe Forte city ——eoooerrreme—ms— Wediegday, February 24, 1926 Parental Delinquency WE WOULD NOT GO SO FAR as to say that back of all juvenile delinquency there is parental delinquency. This would be grossly unfair to. the thou- sands of mothers and fathers who have striven, in every way they know how, to so rear their offspring that they will lead lives of usefulness, but who have never- theless failed in their task because of evil inituences: beyond their, control. But of all the. contributory causes ‘of juvenile: delinquency parental delin- quency takes the lead. . . UNLESS we are willing to concede that seme children are born to lives of crime ard shame, we must admit that envirenmert and the examples set be- fore them hy their elders play a great nart in determining the kind of lives they will eventually Jead. We prefer to helieve the latter, which brings us to the conclusion that juvenile delinquency is traceable. in most cases, to parental delirquency. THERE is very little that goes on in the home that does not make its impres- ston on even a six-year-old child and what if sees it later instinctively tries to imitate. Some parents try to live a dual life—cne intended for the eyes of their children and the other their own— but the child sees all. discerns ail, un= derstends all. To children our most guasded secrets are as an open book. THE CHILD sees the whiskey bottle tucked away in the closet. Ht soon knows when free use of its contents has heen made.

The child hears the lies handed out to bill collec- tors who come to the door; or are told over the telephone. It wonders how hotel marked linen and silver finds its way to the home, and sooner or later opens its eyes to the fact that its papa or mama was not above annexing prop= erty belonging to others.

RESERVE POLICEMEN OU NUMERUUDS are Ine KHINgS Wihci result from improper police action on the part of members of the Police Re serve Force that it,is time for Police Commissioner McLaughlin, and other Official entrusted with the enforcement of law in the city, to give serious con- sideration to the abolishment of this branch of police work. Four persons, in almost as many months, have lost their lives in Harlem as a result of these un> trained gun toters. IN A CITY of six million people it is hard enough for the trained officer to take the proper police action in an emergency. He, at least, is taught what constitutes a felony and what consti- tutes a misdemeanor; when to use a re- volver and when not to use one. To be a member of the force, he must be physi- cally able to subdue a violator charged with a misdemeanor or minor offence, without killing him. except in the de- fense of his own life. In plain clothes or in uniform, he knows how to inform) other members of the police force that he is an officer of the law, so that he himself may not he slain by them. WE BO NOT CONTEND that proper police action is. always taken, even by a recular policeman; but we lay stress ; on the fact that he is compelled to pass certain tests under the civil service be=| fore he is given a gun and a shield of. nolice authority.: The reservist com: olies with no such test and, lacking in) training in the art of self-defense, is physically unfit to be entrusted with the protection of the lives of citizens, ner yet even his own life. No requirements are made upon him as to his mental equipment. Unfit physically, he is quick | to resort to his revolver. He is not paid for his services, and in far too many in=: stances is a member of the police re- serve simply because it gives him au- thority to go ahaut-the streets armed with a revolver he does not know how or when to use. THAT RESERVISTS often pay with their lives for their folly should not be permitted to alter the fact that they con- stitute a serious menace to law enforce: | mert and should either be properly trained and supervised or this branch of police work completely abolished. Koenig Exonerates Koenig. BY USE oi the “steam roller” Samuel S. Koenig, Chairman of the Republican County Committee, has succeeded in ex- onerating himself of the charge made against him by David B, Costuma, lead= er of the Nineteenth Assembly District, that he interfered to prevent the pas- sage of the Grenthal Rent Bill at the last session of the Legislature. THIS LEAVES the Republican County organization in the same demoralized condition it has been in for several years. It means that a more ovef whelming defeat will have to be inilict- ed upon the Republican party than that of last November before it comes to the inevitable conclusion that Koenig is an albatross about its neck.

Later, when stirring editorials from ‘the Crisis and the Nor- folk Journal and Guide were blocked by the opposition, and T noted how the assembled so Ions were about to stampede dy tho little they had heard of thom, then I realized what the opposers of the bill were up against. They had thelr heads fm the lon's mouth and wero trying to ease them out. This 4s why I say that the Northern Negro doesn’t know what the Southern ona ts itp aatnst. ‘The average white Northerner fs an angel of reasonableness compared with the Soltth: erner. Hampton was accused of the “horrible practice of social equality,” Delegate Massen- burge, who led the attack. be- gan with the usnal bunk about the love for colored folk, and that ‘Virginta will never en- act any bill hostile to colored people.” but that he couldn't see “where colored people could ba offerg:d by segrega- tion laws." He painted a hor- tihle pleture of the conditions suid to exist at Mampton and the fearful resulta that would follow !f not checked—said Horrible condition being that citizens of different colors sat side by side {na theatro there.

This man of God, who perbaps Preaches that God made us all, spoke of the “unnatural shades of color due to race mixing.” He declared that ho was in favor of segregation and Anglo-Saxon ideals, but said that the proposed bill was unjust, because it would impose a law upon the whole Stato in order to correct a condition said to exist at Hampton. ‘Tho bill, he further suid, threw ‘an’ unwarranted reflec: tion” on the white race; the presumption being ralsed by the bill ts that all over Vir- rinia the white people must be restrained by law from pro- miscuous mingling and asso- ciation with Negroes. The reverend gentleman seamed especially exercised over the fact that Chinese. Japanese and other colored aliens, not now affected by tho present Jim Crow laws which be favors tor Negroes, would be included tn the bill. The bill, which requires “the separation of while and colored persons at public halls... public assem- blages, etc.," Includes all von- white ‘persons. ‘This, he sald, “Includes the chapels at the University of Richmond, Unton Theological Seminary and oth: er ike institutions. ‘This is an application of raco agitatfon with @ vengeance. “Tho churches are fighting hard to keep tho Chinese and Japanese from being included.
