WILLARD McLEAN, Baritone Grace Congregational Church of Harlem, Inc. 308 West 139th Street SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 1926, AT 3:30 P. M. Subscription, One Dollar Colorful News "Movies" BY THE CAMERAMAN Anglo-Saxon Democracy AGAIN we are informed by that race "purist" publication, the Dearborn Independent, that the greatest differentiations in the world, in tastes and practices, exist as between racial groups. The Utopian pages of the Dearborn Independent admonish the world to "understand that a thing may be true of one race and untrue of another," which is entirely true when there are taken into consideration all the direct and indirect causes and influences which repeatedly assert themselves for or against a race. However, the "gem" of thought in the Dearborn sheet's latest explosion is found in the following sentence: "Democracy is not congenial to every race; it (democracy), will probably fall all along southern Europe and among the Slavs; it is not their instinctive method. It will not fall among Anglo-Saxons; for it is their natural and instinctive method." When one becomes attentive to reason long enough to refresh one's historical recollection of the Norman Conquest, and of the preperiod when certain immigrant tribes moved into southern and eastern England from Schleswig-Holstein (Germany) who, with other human tiers coalesced with the Frisians, the Dutch, the Danes, the Saxons so as to form later the "Angli-Saxones" it can be easily seen that talking of the "natural" and "instinctive" methods of the Anglo-Saxon race calls for a superelastic imagination and a deal of charity. Be that as it may, however, we beg to point out to the Dearborn Independent that modern democracy is what the world is interested in most. And in the claim that "Democracy is not congenial to every race," there should be an addenda to the effect that "Democracy, as defined by the Anglo-Saxons, is not congenial to every race," which is to say that the Angli - Frisian - Dane-Dutch-Saxon descendants of today have set up a double standard by which they measure Democracy and meit it out to contemporary racial groups. In this practive the Anglo-Saxons, in all their "purity" revert to the "natural" and instinctive impulses of the days of the Norman Conquest, when group annihilation was their objective. Indeed, they rivaled the Romans in their lust for mastery. To-day, however, Democracy must, if it would live, meet the standards of world measurement; and Education and Christianity must define it, far in preference to "natural and instinctive methods." Along this trend, the Anglo-Saxons can perform a great world service by at once doing away with their double standards of Democracy, one for them, the stronger, and another for all the weaker groups. Amending the Constitution NOT a few thoughtless colored people are jumping on the band-wagon of a dominant group of equally thoughtless whites and urging the recall of the Eighteenth Amendment of the U. S. Constitution, which puts the ban upon John Barleycorn and his alcoholic family. These ardent agitators, while deeply sincere in their wishes to hear the clinking glasses and see the foaming cups of yore, are undoubtedly moved by the anti-prohibition wave which is sweeping the country at this time. In their zeal, however, they leave overlooked the sad, sad precedent which would be established were the recall of the Eighteenth Amendment accomplished. The precedent of tampering with (Continued on Page 10) JAMES H. HUBERT'S FATHER DIES AT 8d Mr. Zack Hubert, father of James H. Hubert, of the New York Urban League, died Monday at his home in White Plains, Ga., a few miles outside of Atlanta. He was in his both year. His wife, Camilla, died last December. Funeral services will be held Friday. The deceased couple wore parents of twelve children, eleven of whom now survive. TO "BREAK THE BONDS" Patronize Only Stores Employing Negroes 'PATRONAGE IN SOUTH BARTERED FOR MONEY,' IS CHARGED 'PATRONAGE IN SOUTH BARTERED FOR MONEY,' IS CHARGED Democrats in House Continue Attack Started by Texas Republican Perry W. Howard Assailed (WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13.—Barter and sale of public offices throughout the South was charged in the House yesterday by a group of Southern Democrats, following the lead of Representative Jeff Busby, Democrat, of Mississippi, continuing the attack started last week by Representative Wurzbach, Republican, of Texas. Almost coincident with the verbal barrage in the House, R. B. Creager, Republican National Committee from Texas, advised President Coolidge at the White House to pay no attention to the complaints about distribution of patronage in Texas. Mr. Busby, who has pending a resolution dealing with the subject of patronage in the South, opened the discussion. He was quickly reinforced by Representative Wilson, Mississippi, and Stevenson, South Carolina, Democrats, who wanted information furnished to the House on a situation described by Mr. Wilson as a "disgrace to decent government." Declaring corruption had accompanied Federal appointments "over the entire South," Representative Busy was especially vigorous in his denunciation of conditions in Mississippi. Those guilty he named as agents responsible to Perry W. Howard, a Washington employee of the Department of Justice. Two of Howard's half-brothers, he said, had been credited in reports reaching him with offering a United States Marshalship for $1.50) cash. Even preferred positions, such as good places at post-office windows, Mr. Busy said, had been made the basis for cash transactions, and Mr. Wilson declared "it is commonly reported that post-office appointments in Mississippi are sold for various sums of money or other considerations." Representative Stevenson asked that the result of an inquiry a year ago by postal inspectors and Department of Justice agents into reports of the sale of post-office jobs in South Carolina be turned over to the House. Widow Wins $10,000 Suit for Son's Death After fighting for five years for compensation for the loss of her son, Thomas, who was run down and killed by a truck owned by J. Butler and Valentine Blanco on June 4, 1921, Mrs. Mary Stevenson, 260 West 131st street, will receive $10,000. This was disclosed Friday, when the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court handed down a decision affirming the verdict for $10,900 which Levy and Hartman, 277 Broadway, her counsel, obtained for Mrs. Stevenson. The award came after a long-drawn trial before a jury in Supreme Court. The boy, Thomas, was 12 when he was killed. Shortly afterward his father died leaving Mrs. Stevenson penitess.

At least it was miserable for two Monday. One of the principals was the complainant, and the other the defendant. Mrs. Marlon L. Dow, white, 76, 2004 Madison avenue, was held in $10,000 ball by Magistrate Charles Oberwager in the Washington Heights Court. John Sidney De Bourg, 72, 56 W., 126th street, charged the woman with having swindled him out of $920. When an adjournment was denied by the court, the woman through her counsel waived the examination. Her ball was raised from $1,500 by the court to $10,000. The previous ball was set by Magistrate McQuade. At the time she was arraigned last week before Magistrate McQuade no record was produced. Over eight times the women is alleged to have gone to De Bourg and informed that she could turn over large sums of money in profit if he would loan her so much. She displayed a book containing stocks and charts, showing certain land possessions, De Bourg charged. Other charges by different persons are being filed against the aged defendant, it was learned from Detective Boyle of the 123rd Street station. He said that she had a long record as a swindler. Burns Coal Shoveler Mysteriously Killed Found dead in the boiler room of Burns Brothers' coal yards at 125th street and the Harlem River early Saturday, Hordon Seaton, 40 years, a coal shoveler, address unknown, is believed by the police of the Wadsworth avenue station to have been the victim of an attack or a fall. Eight other workers of the coal company and two white men were taken to the police station to be questioned early Saturday morning. Patrolman Peter Quillian of the Wadsworth avenue station called Dr. Ginzheler of Jewish Memorial hospital, who found a deep gash in the back of the dead man's head. Death was caused by a fractured skull, the surgeon said. Men working in the coal yard said they last saw Senton alive at 10 o'clock Friday night, when he left the yard to take a walk. They said he had been drinking heavily during the night. "Ho, Ho, Hum! What Am I in Here for? After he had entered the home of a stranger, eaten food he found there, and then had gone to bed in one of the bedrooms, George Battenberg, 38, white, 7 West 123d street, told Magistrate Douras in Night Court Saturday night he did not know what he had been arrested for. Mrs. Gladys Matthews, 118 West 134th street, complainant against Battenberg, said she called Policeman Guselman of the West 135th street station. Battenberg told the Court he had a few drinks but "hadn't done anything" and he saw no reason why he should have been arrested. Magistrate Douras held him in 2500 bail for a further hearing. THE NEW YORK INQUIRY DISPROVES PREJUDICE ATTRIBUTED TO KLAPPER Howard Day, School Teacher. Barred From Course for Prospective Principals, Along With Eleven Whites — Students Praise Educator as Friend Charges of discrimination and prejudice against Dr. Paul Klapper, head of the Department of Education at City College, based on the fact that the application of Howard Day. 173 West 140th street, a public school teacher, are seemingly without foundation, according to a careful investigation. Day had made application for the course given persons seeking assistant principalships in the public schools of the city. Twelve teachers, including Mr. Day, were denied admission to the class because of the large number that applied and because other candidates showed "relatively greater promise." Eleven of those rejected were white. In the opinion of the entrance committee, Mr Day would be unable to pass the type of examination which the Board of Examiners sets for candidates as principals or assistant principals of the schools. The judgment of this committee was confirmed by the fact that on two previous occasions Mr. Day took examination and failed both times. Soon after Mr. Day was notified that he had been refused admission to the class he appealed to Dr. Klapper for the privilege of sitting in the classroom as an auditor. This special concession was granted him. When Mr. Day was approached by a special investigator for The Amsterdam News he refused to either affirm or deny the reports that he had charged that Dr. Klapper had discriminated against him because of his color. He admitted that he had taken several other courses under the educator and that he had been treated fairly. Former students of the scholar became grossly indignant over the false charges. One of these is Mrs. Gertrude McDougall, assistant principal of P. S. 89. A part of the letter, which appears in full on the Editorial Page of this issue, reads: "That such an implication should arise in this instance surprises me when the facts are considered. Dr. Klapper admitted Mr. Howard Day to a similar course of his in 1922 and both Mr. Day and myself con- (Continued on Page 2.) Blanche F. Rhodes, Daughter of Rev. Dr. A.

Smith Arrested After Crash Only Daughter of Noted Minister Succumbs, Following Operation Monday in Edgecombe Sanitarium Mrs. Blanche F. Rhodes, daughter of the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, and wife of Eugene A. Rhodes, died yesterday morning following an operation Monday morning in the Edgecombe Sanitarium. She was in her twenty-seventh year. Mrs. Rhodes, who was a stenographer for the Board of Education, had been ill only about two weeks, and it was generally thought that she was on the road to recovery. Early Sunday morning, however, she suffered a relapse, necessitating the operation Monday. Her death, though, seemed in- Says He Was Under Influence of Liquor to Escape Penalty for Her Own Recklessness, Is Claim "I am one of the strongest advocates against persons who drive an automobile while under the influence of liquor, for I realize that it is dangerous enough just to be driving while sober," declared ex-Alderman John William Smith, 145 West 138th street, to a reporter from The Amsterdam News Monday, in strongly denying the charge of driving while intoxicated. Walving the examination in the Traffic Court, Counsellor Smith was held in $500 ball by Magistrate Andrew Macery Thursday on the complaint of Miss Cecilia Toop, a white school teacher, 544 W. 252nd street, that he collided with her car in Central Park. In the car with Mr. Smith at the time of the accident was Attorney Gilchrist Stewart, 432 Lenox avenue. As he was approaching Eightleth street in Central Park, Mr. Smith said that Lawyer Stewart yelled out: "Look out John! There is someone coming down on you from the hill." Bringing his car to an almost immediate halt, the woman's car jammed into the former alderman's car, Mr Smith said. Jumping out of the car, Attorney Smith said that he asked the woman was she injured and she replied no. He then revealed his evitable as every facility of the modern Combecombe Santitarium and every approved scientific method of treatment known to medical science in similar cases was pressed into service in a vain attempt to save her life. The operation was performed by Dr. Walter Gray Crump, a noted white surgeon with offices at 857 Madison avenue, who was called into the case by Dr. E. P. Roberts, the family physician. Her death, following so short an illness, rendered an effective blow to her family and friends. She was Roy, and Mrs. Powell's only daughter, and remembering that Dr. Powell himself has just recently recovered from a breakdown, his friends fear that this unexpected grief may aggravate his condition. Aside from her parents, husband and a brother, A. Clayton, Jr., a few years her junior, Mrs. Rhodes leaves a daughter by a former marriage. Funeral services will be held at 1 o'clock tomorrow at the Abyssinian Church. Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mr. Olivet Baptist Church, will officiate and be assisted by other leading clergymen of the city of all denominations. license and demanded that Miss Toop show him her license, which she refused to do until later when officers arrived on the scene. In order that she might write down the number of his license, Mr. Smith said that he loaned the teacher his fountain pen. While she was writing the number, the counsellor said that he sent for a policeman. In the meantime a white chauffeur came up to the woman and asked if she had a damage insurance on her car. On reply that she didn't he persuaded her to have Mr. Smith arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated to prevent a charge from being brought against her. When a motorcycle cop came upon the scene and investigated, he refused to arrest the former alderman on the charge. Later several other policemen came up, and also refused to make the arrest. They informed her that they would carry the defendant to the station if she wanted to arrest him. She did. Fifteen minutes later Mr. Smith said that he was released on bail. In explaining why he didn't bring any criminal charge against the woman driver, Attorney Smith intimated that he would bring civil action against Miss Toop. The hearing of the charge against the counsellor will be tried in the Special Sessions.

SUIT ALLEGING DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER, INVOLVING PATERNITY OF ARCHITECT'S SON, MAY NEVER BE HEARD Release Signed Friday Showing That Amicable Settlement Had Been Made as Noted Surgeon, Who Hitherto Had Urged That Case Be Heard, Relents The famous slander suit for $50,000 brought by Vertner W. Tandy, Sr., architect, and his wife, Sadie Dorsette Tandy, of 219 West 139th street, against Dr. U. Conrad Vincent, a practising physician, with offices at 209 West 135th street, has been settled out of court and may never go to trial. The case was reached on the Supreme Court calendar last Friday, but was put over until tomorrow. When it is called then a release, signed later in the day last Friday, will be presented to the Court, showing that the suit has been amicably settled by the parties concerned, "for and in consideration of the sum of one dollar," bringing to a close one of the most sordid scandals Negro New York has had. "It is expressly understood and agreed," states the release, "that this release is in full satisfaction of any and all claims arising by reason of an action now pending in the Supreme Court. New York County, by and between the undersigned Sadie Dorsette Tandy as plaintiff and the said U. Conrad Vincent as defendant, and this release is and shall be evidence of an amicable adjustment of the controversy between the parties." In these few words New York's scandal-mongers have been denied reading details of the most sensational suit ever brought in the State. Similar releases for identical amounts are in the hands of both parties to the action. ACTION STARTED IN 1923. The case reverts to September 27, 1923, when the Tandys filed their action, alleging that Dr. Vincent had made defamatory remarks concerning the paternity of the then two-year-old Vertner Tandy, Junior, and mentioning a prominent real estate man as father of the child. The allegation was supported by several affidavits signed by Miss Beatrice King, who at one time was on very friendly terms with the doctor, and Jeannette Colon, of 108 West 142nd street. Because of the fact that all of the principals are Handcuff Bandits Held Without Bail Charged with having handcuffed a taxicab chauffeur, Edward Martense, white, 96 Shephard avenue, Brooklyn, to a railing after holding him up and then shooting him in the stomach, William Jones, 20, 51 West 134th street, and Samuel Scarver, 2346 Fifth avenue, walved examination and were held without bail for the Grand Jury in Washington Heights Court Thursday. Policeman Spotkke of the West 123d street station, who captured the pair after a chase of six blocks, during which a dozen shots were fired, said that when he finally stopped the taxicab, at 116th street and Madison avenue, Jones attempted to shoot him, but the revolver missed fire. Both men have records, police say, which include convictions for attempted robbery. DIES IN ELECTRIC CHAIR. HUNTSVILLE, Tex. March 15- Willie Vaughan, age 23, was put to death in the electric chair at 12:58 o'clock Friday morning at the State prison for an alleged attack upon a white girl at San Antonio. well known locally, the trial has been awaited with keen interest. Mr. Tandy, who served during the war as a major, was architect for the 135th Street Branch of the V. M. C. A. and the late Madam C. J. Walker's mansion at Irvington-on-the-Hudson. DR. VINCENT FORMER BELLEVUE SURGEON Dr. Vincent, son of Rev. and Mrs. Vincent of 116 West 130th street, is one of the most distinguished surgeons in this city, having served as a resident surgeon in the Urological Department of Bellevue Hospital Medical School. The amicable settlement of the action will possibly be regarded as a moral victory for Dr. Vincent, who up to the present time has, through his attorney, J. Douglas Wetmore, resisted allorts to settle the matter out of court and pressed for an early trial. DENIED ALL CHARGES. At the time the action was filed he entered a general denial of all the charges and filed a counter claim for damages in the same amount. He charged that the whole affair was a conspiracy to injure his good name and reputation in the community. When in June of 1924 Dr. Vincent was invited to conduct the Howard Clinic, the Tandy-Vincent suit again projected itself in an attempt to prevent him from taking part in it, but Dr. Vincent triumphed over his "enemies" and the clinic was pronounced one of the most successful ever held there. Fruitless efforts were made to prevent Mr. Tandy from bringing the action, on the ground that it would place a stigma on his son that would take years to erase, but the architect repulsed all overtures of this kind.

Dr. Paul Klapper. College of the City of New York. Dear Sir: I received your adverse decision with much chagrin and naturally I was astounded. I know your decision is final, nevertheless I must state to you my reaction to your statement regarding relativity of ability. I offered (1st) normal school; (2th) B.S. in education; (3rd) three years' experience as principal over 30 teachers in Atlantic City, N. J.

Now teaching an S-B- class. From the above it seems strange to me that I did not or do not rank within your best 50. I have been reliably informed that all accepted persons did not appear, and will not, at your class on Saturday. I note that four were accepted provisionally. I am not now asking to be admitted, but I am asking you, in all fairness, to permit me to sit in or on the Summer work. I need not be considered a member of your group, but an auditor. I know that your course will be the best ever given and I am anxious to derive some benefit from it. I expect to be on the next principal's list, since I am sure that I have an excellent working background. What I need now is help in the proper organization of the necessary cultural requirements. I hope you will concede me the privilege asked, if not for the individual, but for a race that needs more enlightenment and more "heroes" to inspire the growing generation. I have the honor to be.

Bradhurst 06-8 IWG MR. DAY'S LETTER. I have the honor to be. by Dr. Klapper the facts that justify his action were set forth. The complete statement follows: "Mr. Howard Day applied for admission to the Supervisor Training Courses, a group of highly specialized and advanced courses designed to train certain selected teachers for the position of principal and assistant to principal in elementary schools. Mr. Day appeared before the committee on admissions on the appointed day and answered a written question that was required of him. The committee spoke to him and asked questions designed to help them gauge the mentality of the applicant and then recommended the rejection of his application for admission to these courses. On February 15, 1926, I sent Mr. Day an official notice in which I said: "The admissions committee has given very careful thought to your application and it finds that, because of the large numbers applying for admission, selections were made on ability. This is in no way a reflection on your ability. The committee is considering the qualifications of the various candidates relatively and is selecting, of course, those who stand relatively among the highest. There will be only one class of students preparing for the position of principal of elementary schools. Since the class is limited, you can readily realize the reason for the action of the committee." DAY FAILED TWICE. "That the committee decided wisely is borne out by the fact that Mr. Day has, after careful preparation, taken the examination for supervisor's license on two different occasions and has twice been failed by the Board of Examiners of the Board of Education. In the judgment of the committee, Mr. Day lacks the mentality required to pass the kind of examination which New York City sets up for those who would direct its schools. "I have known Mr. Day personally for a number of years. He was in a special class which I conducted and which prepared the members for the examination for license as assistant to principal. His ready admission to that class and the admission of a friend of Mr. Day, a colored woman of distinctive ability, who has since become an assistant to principal, cer- 21ST Anniversary SALE!

Mr. Day has taken our prescribed and elective courses for a degree. He was denied no privilege which the college offers to any qualified person. On various occasions Mr. Day has come to me with various problems. These took no little of my time, but Mr. Day was always treated with courtey and consideration. I gave attention to his problems and helped him make the best and the most advantageous adjustment that he could. DAY WRITES LETTER. "The supervisor training courses to which Mr. Day is denied admission are open only to those whom the committee regards as especially capable. On the first day seventy-two candidates were interviewed. Of these, twelve were rejected. Of these, eleven men and women were white. Mr. Day made the twelfth. Surcly. Mr. Day was not singled out for reasons of color. "On February 21 Mr. Day wrote a long letter, most of which is irrelevant, in which he shows clearly that he suspects that he was kept out because of color. I wrote him on the 34th correcting some of his misconceptions and his misstatements and explaining to him again that the most capable group that we could pick for the principal's class was admitted; that, in our judgment, those who were admitted were distinctly abler than he and distinctly abler than the twenty who were denied admission since the announcement of the courses. I give you below the letter that I wrote Mr. Day. May I direct your attention to the statement in paragraph 3, in which I say that I shall try to give Mr. Day unregistered and unofficially every privilege that seems fair and reasonable. This statement is an answer to Mr. Day's pleading;—I am not asking to be admitted, but I am asking you in all rainess to permit me to sit in on the Summer work. I need not be considered a member of your group, but an auditor. I am anxious to derive some benefit from the work.' Surely, nothing here would indicate that there was NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1926 any discrimination against Mr. Day personally." DR. KLAPPER'S REPLY. "Let me assure you on a few points that are raised in your letter of February 21. "1. Unfavorable action is in no way a reflection on you. The committee is selecting those who give relatively more promise. That explains why some people were not included. "2. I cannot make too strong my statement that no social considerations guided the committee in making its selection. It would be a great pleasure to us to play a significant part in developing leadership for the colored people of this city. We are ready to do anything that we possibly can to help you individually and the colored citizens of the city. After all, the city is large and the number who apply for admission to certain classes is, therefore, larger than can be taken care of normally. A selection must be made and in the process some must be denied the privileges which are given to others. "3. I shall be glad to let you come in as an occasional visitor as our classes progress. Tell me just where you want to go and I shall try to arrange to give you, unregistered and unofficially, every privilege that seems fair and reasonable. "You are not correctly informed that anyone was registered without an interview." DAILY PAPER INVESTIGATED. "On Wednesday, February 25, one of the loading New York evening papers called me up to say that Mr. Day had visited some Harlem politicians who, in turn, had brought them the story of race discrimination. The representative of this newspaper asked a few pertinent questions and then assured me that nothing would be printed because, in his judgment, the whole story lacked a foundation. Does it seem reasonable to expect that a newspaper welding such influence as yours would bring a serious charge against a public institution without spending five minutes in investigation of the facts that are presented by a single citizen?" Correcting some of the innumerable inaccuracies in a report, he said: "It said that a few weeks ago the Board of Education authorized me to conduct courses. The Board of Education has no authority over the college. It was the Board of Trustees of the college. "District superintendents were asked to make recommendations. The learned and the handsome colored teacher was so recommended.' May I point out that the district superintendents did not make recommendations and that the learned and handsome' Mr. Day was not recommended by that body. "Inferior white teachers were accepted. Surely, they have no basis for such a serious slur on a group of able and conscientious professionally minded teachers whom they have never seen and whose very names you do not even know. "Dean Klapper now getting $10,000 yearly salary. May I point out that my salary is far from that. If they will take the trouble to look into the City List, published by the City of New York, they will find the exact sum that is paid me. "District Superintendent Grady, Wade and Professor Nifenecker established the courses and fixed the courses. Here, against they do not know the facts. They were invited to give courses which were established by the college at fees which were met by the Board of Trustees. DAY LEAST CAPABLE. "From one of the successful candidates it is learned that Day stood among those who passed high. May I say that no candidate knew how he stood and that Mr. Day stood out as one of the least capable of those who applied. "The report told of many successful candidates obviously inferior to Mr. Day in education experience, but were admitted. No one came to the college to ask that we show the records of those who were admitted. Surely, this is information that was conceived in someone's imagination and given as information.

I. What threatened to be the cause of a bitter fight in Staten Island, as a result of the appointment of Mrs. Marle Mickens, 140 W. 142nd street, as an instructor of Public School No. 6, Rossville, has been definitely settled by the Board of Education. Because Mrs. Mickens relieved a white substitute teacher, it is believed that some civic bodies made a protest over the appointment. The white instructor, Mrs. Elizabeth Hess of Annadale, had been in charge of the class for eighteen years. When Commissioner McKee was visited by a delegation of protestors, he informed them that the law recognized no racial lines and that the Negro teachers in the public schools of New York City have met all the requirements with reference to teaching, and they will not be excluded. Mrs. Mickens was informed by the commissioner to stay at the school. The class which has been given Mrs. Mickens is composed of all white children. In an interview, she told of her short relation with the pupils: "The class which I took over has won the school attendance banner for a perfect record since I have had it in charge. "I have had seven years of teaching experience. My training is varied. I have a certificate of study from Oberlin College, Howard University, Hunter, Columbia and the City College."

POLICE SEEK TWO MEN WHO BEAT SISTERS IN APARTMENT Engaged to Do Cleaning Pay Dispute Follows Both Women in Hospital Condition of One Se- rious All of Harlem is being scoured by the police authorities in an effort to round up two men who beat two white women, who are benefactors of the local branch of the Urban League, in their apartment Wednesday. Two other persons are being suspected by the police as accomplices. Preceding that they had been sent by the Employment Department of the Urban League to do some house cleaning, two men called at the apartment of Miss Mary M. Van Name, for a long while interested in the welfare work of the Urban League. She lives at 414 West 15th street. After completing the work the men demanded more money than she had agreed to pay. An argument ensued, the woman is said, using such vile and insulting language the attention of Miss Van Name's sister-in-law, Mrs. Caroline Van Name, was attracted. The men then made their attack. With a fractured skull, Miss Van Name was removed to the Knickerbocker Hospital. Mrs. Van Name, in a less serious condition, was also taken to the hospital. During the struggle the telephone receiver was knocked from its hook. Taking a light on the switchboard in the hall below. John Walburn did to get a response from the comment and, failing to do so, he noticed the superintendent. Joseph Bassey. Walburn saw the two men descend the stairs and walk at the front door. There was nothing unusual in their demeanor, so his suspicions were not aroused. As the men reached the door, however, they quickened their pace so that a tenant who lives on the first floor and who was entering the building turned and watched them run west on 118th street toward Amsterdam avenue. He followed in an endeavor to find a policeman, but said none was in the neighborhood. In the meantime, Superintendent De Bussey entered the Van Name apartment with a passkey. Miss Van Name was unconscious on the kitchen floor. An alarm was sent to the West 100th street station and Captain Joseph Thompson and a half-dozen reserves came in a police automobile. A police guard was at once established from the Columbia Campus to Morningside Park. Dr. Fielder responded to an ambulance call to Knockerbocker Hospital and the two women were removed to that institution. From an investigation at the Urban League it was learned that they had not sent the men to Miss Van Name. As a result of her interest in the organization she had relied upon the League to send her a part-time worker each week. The policy of the employment department, it was learned from the secretary in charge, is to first get reliable reference from the individual seeking employment. The references are then investigated before the person is sent to a job. Valuable information was furnished to the police by the League, which may enable them to run down the thugs. Unidentified Man Killed in Newark A half-dozen plum bottles, each with a few drops of moonshine, fringed the pool of blood which surrounded an unidentified man who was mortally stabbed at Market and Jefferson streets, Newark, early Sunday morning. Police were unable to locate any eye-witnesses, but in a hallway near the scene they found a man who had a razor wrapped in a towel. He was Edward Habersham, 44, of the Clinton Hotel. The wounded man was rushed to City Hospital where he died a few minutes later. Habersham denied participation in the drinking bout or murder, but was unable to account for his presence in the hallway. He was docketed at headquarters for possession of a concealed weapon.

Chhilester. A charge of murder is pending against the men following the death of a man whose name could not be learned last week. Man Admits He Is a Bootlegger Convicted of Conducting Disorderly House in Magistrate's Court Admitting to the court that he was a bootlegger, Joseph Moody, 504 Lenox avenue, was held in custody to await sentence on a charge of running a disorderly house, Monday, when he was arraigned before Magistrate Charles Oberwager in the Washington Heights Court. A 15-year-old girl was the principal witness that the prosecution put on the stand against the prisoner. Detective William Dudley of the Third Division was the first to take the stand. He said that in company with a brother officer he went to the Lenox avenue premises and informed Moody that they had a complaint against the apartment as being disorderly and asked to search the place. In investigating the apartment, the officer testified, the girl. Alberta Hunter, was found in a room with a man. The girl first told the officers that the man was her husband and that she was 19 years old. The man swore that she was not his wife and informed the officers that he had given her $3 and that he had given $10 to Moody. As the alarm was given that police had entered the apartment a woman leaped out of a back window, the officer stated. When the girl and Moody were taken to the police station, the girl for the first time admitted that she was only 15 years old. Alberta took the stand willingly and self-composed. The court emphasized the fact that she was not compelled to testify. She was anxious to tell her story. After finishing her day's work as housecleaner for a prominent family on Riverside Drive, she went to Moody's apartment, she said. Moody was in the kitchen. Soon afterwards he called her and told her that a man wanted to see her in one of the rooms, she continued. When Moody would not tell her what the man wanted with her, Al- SAVE with SAFETY at your Rexall You Can Prevent Chaps By a regular use of LEMON COCOA BUTTER Wasn't it only the other day you said "This weather is bad for the hands?"

One of the most serious and most inequitable customs of social life today is the practice of the double standard of morals. This custom excuses a man for conduct that in a woman would be vigorously condemned. It permits a man to do what his wife never would be permitted to do. A brother is excused for making moral departures when similar conduct on the part of his sister would cause her to be made a social outcast. It makes it a terrible crime for a woman to break the Seventh Commandment, while it is only a trivial matter for a man to break it. According to this standard, a man may commit any crime; he may sink to the lowest depths of human degradation; yet he will be welcomed back into society and given encouragement to "live down his past"; but a woman once down is down forever, in the eyes of the world. The antiquity of this nefarious system is no justifiable argument for its perseverity, for, though an age-old wrong, it is still a wrong, with the guilt unmitigated and the results inevitable. The strange and most discouraging feature of this matter is, that woman, the greatest sufferer from this system, aids and abets in supporting, sustaining and perpetrating it, to the detriment of her own sex. Let it be remembered that this system is man-made and that, though it is sanctioned and practiced by many who should condemn and help to destroy it, yet is it contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ, is subversive of the Golden Rule, and is a stumbling block in the way of the moral advancement of mankind.

He has all reasons to believe that, barring accidents, he will reach the century mark. The author does not think, though, that everyone who violates the laws of Nature, who made similar dietic errors, will experience the identical penalty. But he must pay in one form or the other. The accumulation of countless death certificates is chouquet testimony to this fact. Monistic philosophy teaches that nature is one and that all its parts are governed by one and the same natural rule. The only solution, then, to the problem of health and disease lies in going back to Nature. This means back to plain living; it means adaptation to natural environments instead of creating an artificial environment, which is wholly responsible for all the diseases and degeneracy with which mankind is being devoured. splotches, tan, and freckles.

Paterson Five Coming Here to Play Colored Champions Sunday Night Renaissance Five Continue to Draw Big Crowds at Local Casino and Outlook Points to Douglas Being Forced to Keep Team Active Until the Last Week in April—Score Doubled on Italians IT WAS natural for many people to imagine that the hullabaloo made over the opening of a certain new place last week would affect the crowds at all the local casinos catering to the dance loving public, but the affection in which the players and men of the Renaissance Five basketball outfit are held was never more evident than on Saturday and Sunday nights. The old guard turned out in full on both nights—Saturday night to the usual week-end assembly of the Renaissance and Sunday night to the big basketball game and dance. To our way of thinking it is doubtful if anything can take away from the interest of the public in the Renaissance activities on Saturday and Sunday nights, and again we rise to remark that this is quite a tribute, not only to the players, but the men behind these activities.

Store Open Every Evening Last Sunday night the famous Italian Catholic Club played a return game with the Renalssance Five and had the misfortune of having the score doubled on them. This shows the strength of the local players, for these white players form a combination which run riot with the majority of the big time basketball teams here in the last. In the first half Captain Stocum had the charge which softened up the Italians. Manager Douglas withdrew both Slocum and "Pappy" Ricks in the second half and sent in Saunders and Garcia and the boys of the reserve line gave a splendid account of themselves. The champions were too much for the visitors and the end of the game found the Douglas men with a safe 40 while the Catholics trailed with but 20. If these colored players keep up the pace which they have maintained all season, the end of April will again find them with an unbroken string of victories on their own home court which cannot be duplicated by any team in the country. The coming Sunday night one of the hardest quints seen here this year will face the Renalance Five in what will most likely turn out to be one of the season's basketball hummers. The, far-famed Paterson Five with Benny Borgeman against whom Harold Mayers made name and fame) will attempt to put a brand new spoke in the basketball wheel of the local team and the fur will fly.

C., one of the best broad jumpers in the metropolitan district, and Phil Delahanty, of Manhattan College, are two of those who will compete against De Hart Hubbard, of Cincinnati, in the running broad jump event at the P. O. Clerks' Association meet, at the 192nd Engineers' armory the coming Saturday night. Hubbard has written he feels confident that he will be able to establish a new world's indoor record. The unofficial world's indoor record is 22 feet 1½ inches, made by William A. Dowling, of Georgetown, last year. Hubbard's world outdoor record is 25 feet 10½ inches. Jack Dempsey Hands Out More Hokum About Being Ready for Harry Wills Jack Dempsey Hands Out More Hokum About Being Ready for Harry Wills Boxing Circles in This City Refuse to Believe California Reports About Fake Champ's Desire to Fight LOS ANGELES—Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, yesterday placed $250,000 in a bank here to assure the world that he was going to meet Harry Wills, his colored Harlem challenger, on Labor Day. Floyd Fitzsimmons, sald to be backed by Chicago and South Bend interests, placed a like amount as a guarantee that he and Dempsey would promote the show. Dempsey put up his half million dollar hotel as a security for his end of the bout, from which he expects to make $1,000,000, planning that the bout will draw three times that in either Chicago or Michigan City. "I'll start training in two weeks for the fight," Dempsey said, "and will settle once for all the unfriendly balloon." Report Doubted Here Though Jack Dempsey, the reputed heavyweight champion of the world, is spending some of his spare time in the midst of California's citizens at the present time, little credence is given by local experts to Dempsey's shoutings that he's going to promote a fight between him and Harry Wills, colored Harlemite who's been pursuing him for the past few years, in Chicago next Labor Day. It may be the first time in any sort of pugilistic history that a lighter promotes his own show, if the bout comes off altogether, and the report that Floyd Fitzsimmons, named as the nominal promoter, has placed $250,000 in the banks along with Jack's is regarded as just so much "bunk." Illinois, it is understood here, will more than likely legalize prize fighting in the state at the elections in April, but won't stand for any of Dempsey's film-filmmery and that the bout would be banned, as it already has been by the Governor of the state. "Just publicity for his pictures which are terrible" is the prevailing opinion here right now. Majestics Defeat Plymouth The Majestic Club downed the Plymouth Institute last Thursday in a fast, snappy game by the score of 26-17. Capt. Pinn and Satchel starred for Majestic. The Majesties are facing a most strenuous week by playing quite a few games out of town and then return for their week-end game against the famous Buffaloes on Sunday evening at the Renaissance. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17. 1926 RENAISSANCE WHIPS CELTICS IN PHILA. PHILADELPHIA, March 15. Playing before one of the most enthusiastic gatherings of basketball fans that ever turned out to witness a game in this city last night, the world-famous Celtics went down in defeat to the crack Renaisance Five of New York. The game was staged at the Palais Royal and witnessed by about three thousand Philadelphiaans. Furey, manager of the Celtics, and Douglas, manager of the Renaissance, both started to throw conniption fits five minutes after the start of the contest. The white players jumped off into the lead, which they held by ten points, while the Renaissance trailed with three. Then, like a bolt from a clear sky, Captain Hilton Slocum led one of the most famous charges in basketball history when, at the head of his men, he brought them up and tied the score. From then on it was a see-saw matter, first Celtic taking the lead, then Renaisance. The people almost went wild. With the score 29-29 and the Palais Royal shaking from the wild cries of the throng, George Flail sent one of his great shots through the air and, just barely cutting the rim of the basket, won the game for his team by a 31-29 score. This victory for Renaissance again ties the two leading basketball teams in the country. Whether there will be a play-off or not is hard to say, as all efforts to get in touch with Manager Bob Douglas before he took a midnight train for New York were unavailing. Famous Clefties Getting Ready for Sixteenth Anniversary Celebration April 5 Famous Clefties Getting Ready for Sixteenth Anniversary Celebration April 5 Monster Affair Will Be Staged at Manhattan Casino, With Henderson's Orchestra on the Job INTEREST in the Easter Monday night reception to be given by the famous Clei Club is already at a good pitch, which would seem to indicate that another capacity audience will be on hand to help the members of one of the best known musical organizations make merry at its sixteenth anniversary affair. As last year, the reception will be held this year at Manhattan Casino and the feature of this year's event will be Fletcher Henderson and his celebrated Roseland Orchestra. In addition to the imittable Fletcher, a specially selected orchestra of the best musicians belonging to the club, under the leadership of Sam Patterson, will also be on hand that night, insuring dance music seldom heard around these parts in one night. Aubrey Brooks, president of the Cief Club, who is also chairman of the arrangement committee for the coming reception, said that the committee has arranged to care for a capacity house that night and that no effort would be spared to insure a pleasant evening for all. The club, still located at the famous 53rd street address, is making extensive plans for expanding. Founded 16 years ago by the late Jim Europe, the Cief Club has continued even against great odds. Today it is in a better condition than at any other time of its existence. It would seem that "to follow the crowd" will be all that is necessary to lead one to Manhattan Casino on Monday night.

Patsy, metropolitan featherweight champion, knocked out Calvin Reed. Star B. C., featherweight, in the first round. Reed has beaten most of the amateur cracks and had never been knocked out until last week. Patsy landed a short right hook which sent Reed down for seven and when he arose Patsy stowed him away with the punch. Jimmy Ruffalo. Patsy's bantam-weight brother, had little trouble winning the judges' award in three rounds from Wilfie Quinn, Trinity Club.

J., March 13.—The Buccaneers, coming from behind in the second half, howled over the Philadelphia Scholastics for a 30-23 victory, Friday night at Waltz Dream. The visitors showed the speediest aggregation of passers here this season and with "Slats" Davis and Overton showing a keen eye for the net were out in front at half time 19-12. In this half Pickles Howard kept the Bucs in the running with three field goals. In the second half with Green and Pendleton holding the visiting forwards in check, the insertion of Palm Fells for Miller started the Bucs toward victory, Fells ran wild, scoring four field goals and a quartet of markers from the charity line. Five hundred fans raved as the score was tied with seven minutes to go, spurring the Bucs on until the final whistle.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1926 "NOBBY" JOE GANS AT COMMONWEALTH Sergt. Baker, Floored, Got Up and Beat Oakes Buffalo Fighter Stands Up Under Gruelling Punishment From Baker But Almost Won Fight in the Eighth When He Knocked Down Soldier for Nine Count—Gans Makes Good and Will Appear Again Saturday SERGEANT SAMMY BAKER, the Mitchel Field welter, who was progressing in fine style until he was knocked out by Tommy Freeman in the Garden recently and by Harry Dudley in one round in New Jersey, started on his comeback campaign at the Commonwealth S. C. by winning the decision from Jack Oakes, colored Buffaloan. Though Baker was the more aggressive of the two, as well as the cleaner and harder puncher, Oakes was dangerous throughout the fight, proving this when he connected a right to the jaw in the eighth session that put Sammy down for a nine count. Baker finished strong, though, and had Oakes in pretty bad shape at the close of the contest. Jack's jaw was badly swollen, and it was thought for a time that he hau dislocated his chewing mechanism. At 148½, Baker was half a pound heavier than Oakes. "Nobby" Joe Gans at Commonwealth Saturday Splendid Showing Against Eddie Elkins Induces Murray Elkins Beats Flowers. Murray Elkins was given the decision over Bruce Flowers, colored New Rochelle battler, in the semifinal ten spot, though the verdict was not met with the unanimous pleasure of the large aggregation of spectators. It was a fine fight to sit through, with neither man giving ground much during the entire bout. So close was the fighting that a draw would have done neither much harm, and would have met with greater satisfaction from the customers. No knockdowns were scored by either man, and both were pretty tired at the end of hostilities. Their left eyes were also cut. At 137%, Murray was four pounds heavier than Flowers. The younger and lighter member of the Elkins family to appear on the card, junior lightweight, Eddle, didn't fare so well against Cleary James, the Cuban, who terms himself Nobby Joe Gans out of town and who drew with Bruce Powers two weeks ago. James won in the ten-round scamper, administering a sound acing to Eddle, who bled like a stuck pig all through the fight. Both his eyes were almost completely closed. A right to the chin sent Eddle down for a two count in the first round. James seemed too experienced for Eddle. Both the Harlemite's eyes were closing in the ninth, and the right was badly cut. James weighed 134. Elkins 131½. The four-round opener, in which Dixie Diamond, 144½, colored Harlem veteran, defeated George Adelman, 141½, Brockton, Mass., was a comical sort of affair, with both men falling out of the ring in the first canto. Arthur Susskind, known in his fighting days as Young Otto, was the referee, while George Kelly and Bill Elliffe, the latter one of Fordham's famous athletes, were the judges. Eddle Munson, with his stop watch all repaired after its accident last week, was at the bell. Country's For Ed. Sullivan of New York Jenkins to the Twen Ed.

"Nobby" Joe Gans, who made quite an auspicious debut at the Commonwealth Sport Club last Saturday night when he won handily from Eddie Elkins in one of the feature tens, will play a return engagement this Saturday night at the same club when he goes in against Billy White in one of the features. In another ten Al Brown will also play a return when he goes in against Eddie O'Dowd. While Brown hasn't been able to resurrect that right hand that used to "knock 'em dead," he can be depended upon to make it interesting for his opponents. These twelve round features will be backed up by the usual good card, which we are unable to tell about at this time as we did not get our advance information in time for the current issue. Be that as it may, the features offer enough to warrant the fans turning out in large numbers. The Commonwealth is the club from which fighters graduate to Madison Square Garden, which the fans hero recognize, and few can afford to miss Saturday night's bouts. Odell Crump Passes Away Through the courtesy of Alvin Moses news came to us this week of the death of Odell Crump, well known in boxing circles here. This announcement will be received with a great deal of surprise by those who knew Crump as his death was rather sudden. For years Crump has been in the game as manager and more recently second to a number of fighters.

And Hill, Young and Clark got their first start in basketball training under J. Richard. They won the eastern lightweight championship for Tuxedos during the 1924-25 season, and now Eastern Colored League Commissioners Hold Meeting at Philadelphia THE commissioners of the Eastern Colored League turned out en masse to a scheduled meeting at the Christian Street Y. M. C. A., in Philadelphia. Chairman Ed. Bolden, Nat. C. Strong, Wilbur C. Crelin, Chas. B. Johnson, Jim Keenan, Colonel Strothers, Alexandre Pompez and Charlie Spedden rounded out the solons of the seaboard circuit. With the season fast approaching, the Eastern moguls, with harmony as the keynote and bigger and better the slogan for the 1926 season campaign, are polishing up the works to provide the fans a brand of ball that will appease their appetites for the national pastime when the curtain is raised for the fourth canter of the Eastern pennant race. Although the Hilldale Club has pretty well monopolized picture as league champions, the Philadelphia team will have plenty of opposition in the coming season and at least four of the other clubs will have to be reckoned as having championship timber. of the youngsters are looking forward to, for both teams boast a would go far to see them in a tilt of this kind. To add to the evening's enjoyment, Vernon Andrade has prepared a special program of dance music and terpsichore can be in- While the deal has not been consummated, it however is almost a foregone conclusion that the venerable but able John Henry Lloyd will shift from Atlantic City and the Bacharach Giants to New York, where he will direct the play of Jim Keenan's Lincoln Giants. With Lloyd at the helm the Bronx crew should show a reversal of form, especially since Owner Keenan is securing new material to bolster up the weak places in the team. In all probability Dashing Dick-Landy will get the call to lead the forces of the Bacharach Giants. Lundy is well fitted for the post and in fact headed the Atlantic City team in 1923 but was relieved of the duties when the more experienced Lloyd joined the team the following year. Owner Wilbur Crellin of the Newark Stars, who since securing a franchise in the league has kept the personnel of his club a deep secret, has threw the lid off his surprise packet and although not claiming a world beater, he is to tell the fans that the Newark team will not finish in the cellar. At the present time manager Andy Harris has the following players in line; Burton, who is with Joe Williams' Poncinianna team in Florida, will do most of the catching, Wayne Carr, formerly of the Baltimore Black Sox and Lefty Gisentan, who was with the Harrisburg Giants last season, are two experienced pitchers; in the infield Toussaalt Allen, who for several seasons covered first base for Hilldale, will be stationed at the initial sack; George Scales, who was a member of the Lincoln Giants, will cover second; Nellie, a Cuban, will be at shortstop, and Gilver, another of the Poncinianna players, will be at third. The club will present an experienced outfield in Charlie Eason. an ex-Bacharach and Lincoln Giant, Bennie Wilson, another former Lincoln player, and Jace Hoster, the Cuban fly-chaser. Several other players are being angled for and when the Stars open their new home Sunday, May 9, the Newark fans will see their representatives in action. Pedro San, the San Domingo player, who was claimed by both the Newark club and the Cuban Stars, was awarded to Alex Pompez's team and if Senior San pastimes in the Eastern circuit this season he will be under the banner of the Cuban Stars. Very Few Boxes Left for Night of March 26 LaBeet's Legions to Be Out in Full at Renaissance Casino to See the Basketball Games Leonard LaBeet is optimistic if nothing else these days, for he has but few boxes left for the big basketball games and dance slated to take place at the Renaissance Casino on the night of March 26. No stone has been left unturned in trying to make this affair one of the season's best, and the youngsters are all agog over the promised clash of the four teams. The first game of the night will find the Gibraltar Girls lining up against the girls of the New York Life Insurance Company, while the big game of the night will bring together the Acme and Stag players. This is the game that so many number of basketball followers who at Morgan they have brought the collegiate title to Baltimore. No other trio of basketball players anywhere throughout the country can boast of such a reputation as these former players of J. Richard Lee. And now these same boys with the famous "Lanky" Jones in their line-up are coming to meet their former team-mates. And as the fans turn their steps toward the Orange Armory on the night of April 1, next Thursday night week, they will be treated to one of the greatest struggles witnessed on the courts this season. of the youngsters are looking forward to, for both teams boast a would go far to see them in a tilt of this kind.

In our next issue it is our intention to reproduce the line-up which will go into the big game for the championship of their own sections.

HT Jamaica Woman Sentenced to Fifteen Years Mrs. Golden, Who Was Convicted Last Week, to Serve Time at Auburn Prison MARIE GOLDEN, 58 Elm street, Jamaica, must serve from seven and one-half to fifteen years in Auburn for killing the man who twice saved her from prison for attacks on himself. She was convicted of first degree manslaughter for the death of John Keyes, her common-law husband. Sentence was pronounced by Judge Gilbert H. Baker in Queens County Court. In March of last year Marie Golden threw the contents of a can of lard into Keyes' face during a quarrel. She was arrested and held on a charge of telonious assault until her husband, blinded for life, was released from the hospital several months later. He went before Magistrate Lawrence T. Gresser in the Jamaica court and pleaded with the Court's release, the wife obliged, and she had acted in a fit of temper. At the time the woman promised to devote the rest of her life to the care and support of the man she had so injured. On September 10, during a quarrel over an Italian boarder, the woman struck Keyes in the head with a hammer. She again was arrested, but the blind man, his head swathed in bandages, pleaded so strongly that the magistrate let her go. Nearly a month later detectives were able to identify Jamaica had died as the result of a fractured skull in a Manhattan hospital. After an investigation the detectives arrested Marie Golden. She was indicted for manslaughter, tried before a jury in the Queens County Court and on March 6 was found guilty. Hollis Man Now Facing a Great Problem How George Wood, 35, of 189-01 Jamaica avenue, Hollis, could support two wives and one by the other on $25 a week was the problem put up to Magistrate Doyle in Jamaica last Wednesday. Wood was brought to court on the complaint of his first wife, Margaret, with whom he formerly lived at 15. Deer Street. Howard said in a subway that the left her without funds and went to live with a common-law wife in Hollis. Wood was ordered to pay $7 weekly to the support of his child by Mrs. Wood, the first. Killed as Elevator Drops Failing 11 stories in an elevator Martin Durkin, of 107 West 98th street, Manhattan, was killed Tuesday.

"I suffered with severe bilious attacks that came on two or three times each month," says Mr. J. P. Nevins, of Lawrenceburg, Ky. "I would get nauseated. I would have dizziness and couldn't work. I would take pills until I was worn-out with them. I didn't seem to get relief. "A neighbor told me of BLACK-DRAUGHT and I began its use. I never have found so much relief as it gave me. I would not be without it. I seemed to be relieved, and made me feel like new. I would take a few doses—get rid of the bile and have my usual clear head, feel full of pep, and could do twice the Billions attacks are “seasonal” with many people. Millions have taken Thedford’s Black-Draught to ward off such attacks, and results they have reported should induce you to try it.

Y., branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has announced its intention of pressing charges against Patrolman Thomas McAuliffe, who is accused of having beaten and threatened two women because one of them, Mrs. Estelle Benson, a colored woman, had refused to go out with him. The white patrolman was arrested on charges of felonious assault and held in $3,500 ball, which was furnished by a bonding company. Benson's complaint recites that the patrolman stopped her on the street and invited her to enter his car. When she refused, he punched her, knocked her down, dragged her across the street and threatened her with his revolver. A second complaint substantiating Mrs. Benson's charges, was made by Miss Cotilla Thoune, who went to her aid and was herself struck. O. D. Williams, secretary of the Brooklyn N. A. A. C. P., states that Stanley Douglas, an attorney of 200 Broadway, will press the charges against the patrolman, and that the N. A. A. C. P. will seek to have the case taken from the jurisdiction of the magistrate's court to a higher court. Civil action is also to be instituted in behalf of Mrs. Benson against the patrolman.

"Strange Way to Express Friendship," Opines Judge Friendliness as defined in New Orleans resulted in the dismissal of Harry Parker, of 1403 Saratoga avenue, New Orleans, by Magistrate Glorio, at Long Island City, last week. Parker was charged with having assaulted John Pierce, also from New Orleans, in a restaurant on the night of March. When the case came up for a hearing, the police had been at hospital but a day or so, refused to sign a complaint against Parker. "We're all friends, your honor," said Parker. "It was just a little friendly argument and Pierce don't want me sent away for that." "How friendly was the argument?" asked the magistrate. "He wasn't cut much," answered Parker. "Only five or six cuts about the back, shoulder, and neck." said Patrolman Sadio, who made the arrest. "What with?" asked the magistrate. "Just a little penknife," said Parker. Whereupon Patrolman Sadie showed the court a knife with a four-inch blade. "Strange way to express friendship, commented the magistrate, Boston's New Orleans and the injured man will make no complaint. I cannot hold you. Care dismissed."

Brooklynites Claim They Are All Set to Stop Crack "Hell Fighting" Team Brooklynites Claim They Are All Set to Stop Crack "Hell Fighting" Team Superior "Lightning Five" Digging in With Idea of Stopping Charge of the Outfit That Helped to Dent Von Hindenberg's Line TOMORROW night (Thursday, March 18) Brooklyn's Superior Lightning Five will write finis to a remarkable season when they tackle the 360th Infantry (Famous Fifteenth Hell-Fighters) at Labor Lyceum, Myrtle and Willoughby avenues, Brooklyn. This contest should show the popular Brooklynites at their best, as they are determined to close the official home season with a victory, even though they face the tremendous task of piercing the defense of the boys who stopped Von Hindenberg. A very pretty battle is in the offing, me hearties. The Superiors can now boast of a little giant in basketball who combines the speed of a "Fat" Jenkins with the eagle eye of a "Pappy" Hicks: meaning none other than Sandy "Hooks" Herndon, the former Brooklyn coach, scholastic star. Sandy has been an superstar all of the Superior victories and by his aggressive and flashy playing is not a little responsible for the success his team has attained. He has carried away scoring honors in almost every game. evening to watch him "do his stuff." The music, of course, will be by Prof. Vernon Andrade and his Renaisseance dance orchestra, leaders supreme in the world of music. There will also be a preliminary game between the Brooklyn V. W. C. A girls will meet a New York girls' team, the name of which has slipped our memory at present writing. Carlton V. M. D. Recalling the last three: In the Vandal game in Atlantic City Sandy scored 11 of the "Soups" winning 27 points; against the Lewis Big 5 he scored 11, and registered 14 of 30 points in the Vandal return game. Quite some record in these days of five-man defense. Herndon's defensive work has also been above par and exceptionally rare for a forward. In the last two games the three men who were sent in to keep him from scoring accumulated two lonesome and obscure points, while the other 25 marks for the "Soap Flash." Yet Sandy claims that he has not been playing his best brand of ball and says this so convincingly we actually believe him.

D. of Brooklyn journeyed to Harlem on March 13 and returned with a victory over the Y. M. D. lights. Despite the fact that two members of their Senior team played, Carlton romped off with them to the tune of 26-10. The first half ended 13-1 favoring Carlton. The Carlton boys hit their stride in the second half, demonstrating their ability to shift, pass, and shoot. The guarding of A. Smith, the best running guard in Brooklyn high schools, prevented Seay, the team's first goal, and the Y. M. D. Seniors' team, from scoring more than one field goal. J. Lane, Carlton's clever forward, proved the highest scoreer, having made five field goals. His teammate, Oliver, made four. This victory adds one to Carlton's long list.

Virginia Law, if Passed, Would Classify Two Presidents and Other High Officials as "Colored" St. Mark's Choir Presents Beautiful Cantata BY CLEEVELAND G. ALLEN. The beautiful and gripping story of Saul, King of Israel and one of the most famous of the cantatas, was presented by the choir of St. Mark's M. E. Church, consisting of 50 voices, and of which E. Aldama Jackson is the choirist, at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church last Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The cantata was given in costumes typical of the customs of the period of the story, and was one of the most picturesque and well rendered Bible stories ever given in this city. It gave the choir of St. Mark's M. E. Church an opportunity to appear to distinct advantage. The cantata was under the direction of Rev. Dr. John W. Robinson, pastor of the church, who skillfully directed the work of the singers, and who explained the story as it progressed. It was at the suggestion of Dr. Robinson that the cantata was given. The story worked up to a fine climax, and the effort represents the use of the modern church is making of the dramatization of little stories. During the two evenings fully 5,000 people were present and expressed their delight in the graphic manner in which the story was given. The choir had been well trained for the work, and one of the commendable things about the presentation of the cantata was the smooth manner in which it ran. The lighting effects were splendid. The cantata was in live acts, and marked the portion through which Saul passed as the King of Israel. The tragedy, the romance, and the great religious moral of the story were well depicted, and the audience could follow the thread of the drama easily. The rule of Saul was played by G. W. McLean, whose rich, well cultivated baritone voice stood him in good stead in interpreting the part. Miss Minnie Brown as Abigale, wife of Saul, gave excellent support. Others of the leading characters were Fitzherbert Moore as Samuel; Morris Cavers as David; Clifford J. Collins, Jonathan; Miss Ruby Green, Michal, and Mrs. Ella Stewart, Witch of Endor. Chauncey Northern to Give Song Recital Chaucey Northern will make his New York debut in a song recital at imperial Elsa's Hall, 160 West 129th street, on Tuesday evening, March 30.

Some of these are dead, families. IN MY last article I pointed out that there is much opposition to the so-called race integrity bill because it took in "too much territory." The state would have had quite a job increasing its jim-crow accommodations, or rather lack of accommodation. Among the number that would be classed as colored, according to the Richmnod News-Leader (white), Feb. 9, would be: "Two United States senators, a United States ambassador to France, two secretaries of war, two presidents of the United States, five generals, three of the most distinguished of living Southern novelists, three governors of Virginia, a speaker of the House of Representatives, two bishops, three congressmen, one rear admiral, two judges of the Virginia supreme court, and many of the foremost officers of the Confederate army." Some of these are dead, but many have no doubt left families. is the case of a slave who, shortly before the Civil War, ran away with a white woman, "who afterwards bore mulatto twins, both female. Owing to their white maternity, the twins passed for white and both married white men. From these unions have sprung two large groups, the R—s and the N—s. There are also white R—s and N—s in the county, but it almost passes human ingenuity to distinguish the white R—s and N—s from the mixed R—s and N—s." Other cases deal with white women who have presented their husbands with colored children; another who had several white children and one colored, of which the butler is believed to be the father. THROWN IN HOG PEN. This case, in another district, is interesting: "Case No. 1, Loudon County (on file in the State records): A near-white baby was born to a Negro servant and was placed by the mother in the pig-pen to be devoured by the hogs. The employer of the servant discovered the baby and rescued it. It was a girl. The child was adopted by a childless white couple, is now about twenty years old, has blue eyes and fair hair. . . . her foster parents took her to another locality where she is now living and associating with white people." Other cases of white women presenting their husbands with mulatto children are recorded. The husband of one of them "was absent from home for some time and the woman bore a mulatto child." Having given other similar cases, one of them from Stafford County (on file in the State records), in which both the wife and the daughter of a white man bore children for the same Negro, the writer adds: "The above cases present the most ghastly evidence of the increasing frequency of the birth of mixed-breed children to white women. . . . Formerly such cases were rare even among the lowest grades of whites." ZEAL OF NO AVAIL Of another district the writer says: "Although no district in the State excels the Ninth in zeal for race integrity, the infrequency of the danger has resulted in a proportionate relaxation of watchfulness in guarding the color line. Honce, Negro near-whitees from West Virginia and Kentucky and Negrold mixed Indians from Tennessee, "Red-bones" and self-styled "Cherokees" from North Carolina have easily succeeded in 'passing.' A similar situation exists along practically the whole southern border of the State. . . . We have seen already how rapidly mix-breed descendants of one individual can multiply and how easily and widely they may be distributed." After giving other cases of Indians discovered to be of mixed white and Negro ancestry, the writer cites the case of a Negro who, after the Civil War, came to "Y" County and bought the home of a prominent family. Three granddaughters of this man have married white men. These white men are of prominent families and well connected. One of them has no children. The other two are The bill as passed by the house has been considerably modified. One interesting feature of it is the adroit wording by which Atlastica are not affected, but native and foreign-born Negroes are. It "is not applicable to non-white foreign persons who are ineligible to citizenship in this country." That is, if you cannot become a citizen of the United States you are O. K. THE LAST STAND. To continue my review of the revelations of race-mixing, culled from official documents by John Powell, the dark-skinned Nordic agitator for a 101 per cent lily-white. The articles, if published by a Negro in parts of the South, would probably have brought the mob at his heels. Speaking of Montgomery County, Powell writes: "In this county there is a considerable group of near-wear mix-breeds, who are beginning to spread out into other communities. Although they vigorously assert their claim to a white status, the white people have never allowed it. It would be almost impossible to have them correctly recorded in the vital statistics of the State. The local registrars would meet with serious violence were they to record them as other than white. A leading citizen of Blackburg stated that it would be necessary to take a company of troops into the section were any attempt made to record them properly." Case No. 2 is of a group of mixed Indian, white and Negro "descended from slaves who had removed from their native localities," who call themselves Indiana. Some of those people in neighboring counties "succeeded in passing" and in marrying whites." A county official says: "I list them as colored people, but it makes them mad to be so listed. I know they are not white and I know that some of them have married into white families." Another case tells of a man who "claimed that he was white, but the claim was never allowed," who cohabited with several white women of the neighborhood other than his wife, having several children, who "make no such claim, but associate with Negroes, and several of them have married Norroes." Case S is of "a, white woman, mother of five children and living with a husband, who was indubitably white, gave birth to a mulatto child. As the husband apparently accepted the child as his own, the midwife could not do otherwise than make out the white birth certificate." She objected, however, to the director of the city bureau, in his report to the State Registrar, says: "I hesitated to change the birth certificate, but several weeks ago Mrs. X — was convoked of unlawful habitation with a Negro and pleaded guilty." Yet, after giving many instances as these, the writer continues to speak of reversion, which, by the way, if true, would score one for Negro strain. If one "drop of Negro blood" could knock out ninety-nine of "white blood," would it not show the extraordinary strength of the former? And since when has strength become something to be ashamed of? SLAVE AND A WHITE WOMAN. In another Congressional district THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News RICHMOND. VA. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1926 men of political and financial prestige. They have children. These two men and their prominent kinspopple are exerting great pressure—successfully—to force their children into the most refined and cultured associations. They even had the assurance to send a lawyer to Richmond in 1924 to use his influence to prevent the passage of the racial integrity law. "The case offers additional evidence that social position and wealth give no assured protection against the infusion of Negroid blood. What has happened to those families in "Y" County may happen to any family in Virginia." In his summary and conclusion Powell says, in part: "The purpose of the foregoing articles has been to show that the forces leading to amalgamation are not confined to isolated communities in the State, but are common to all ten Congressional districts and are general in their distribution. We have seen that the spread of the evil has not been merely geographical, but social, until it has, in a few instances, shown itself in every register of the social gamut. Most astonishing has been the evidence discovered of the disintegration of the psychological basis of the color line, namely, racial self respect and decency, as seen in cases of white men marrying colored women and of white women marrying or illicitly interbreeding with colored men. "This is the most appalling and threatening feature of the situation, and immediate steps for the control must be taken. The color line in America has been more permanent than in any other instance in history. The reason for this has been the strong tendency to place all mixed breeds on the colored side of the barrier. Until recently the overwhelming majority of mix-breeds have been born to colored women and, as the law provided that illegitimate children take the color of the mother, these mix-breeds, even when possessing sufficient white blood for white classification, were regarded as colored. The situation changes, however, when the illegitimate mix-breeds are born of white mothers. The evidence of the increase of this crime among white women cannot be taken too seriously. Equally revolting is the complaisement shown in some of the cases by the white husbands of such women. "Why drag forth from its concealment all this flith and rottenness to the offense of sensitive eyes and dainty nostrils? God is good and, verily, all men are brothers. Let us ignore what is unpleasant, or at least recognize it only to the extent of applying a coat of whitewash. There are many who think and speak in this manner. "Incomparable folly! When has whitewash ever proved efficacious." Now the above expose by Powell is a graphic picture of what has been going on in Virginia and throughout the South for the last three hundred years. And going on, to, in spite of all that a long line of Powells, Coxes, Copelands, Bleases, Tillmans, Vardamans, Dixons have been able to do. This thing, to anyone possessing an intellect above the prehistoric grade of a rhinoceros, would, then, appear as fixed in nature, and nature, as the poet says, though driven out with a pitchfork, will always return. Men and women who meet every day, even if they do meet only as servant and master, are going to have their likes and dislikes, their loves and hates, and their intimate associations. Will passing a law—a thousand laws—hinder this? This type, though it has pared its heels and pared its toes, has been about as effective in preventing race-mixing as the cur that runs yelping after an express train, or a prohibition agent who sets out to take the gin out of Virginia. Whether race-mixing is good or bad is entirely out of the question. Men of this type have succeeded in doing but one thing—in fostering a tremendous amount of immorality. They are promoters of bad citizenship. Inheritors of the slave-holding spirit, they are doing all they can to tighten the chains of economic and sexual slavery on their fellow-citizens for no NOTICE WE REPAIR FOUNTAIN PENS EQUAL TO NEW WHILE YOU WAIT LENOX PEN HOSPITAL 641 LENOX AVENUE Corner 137th St. New York other reason than a difference of complexion. Their so-called African colonization plan they well know can serve only as a decoy for ignorant and gullible Negroes. Virginia, took, perhaps, the lead in making it difficult for the Northern labor agent to recruit labor during the great Negro migration. Now it is going to have a change of mind to the extent of furnishing millions of dollars to send them "back" to Africa. The great objective of the men above mentioned has been to keep the white woman out of the mixing, and they have failed signally, according to historical records. At one time there was a law that the white woman who married a Negro became a slave for life with her husband, and that so worked as but to encourage such marriages. (See documentary evidence in "Beginings of Miscegenations." Journal of Negro History.) Hundreds of similar laws have been passed. The law habit is but another dope habit. "Pass the bill," wailed Copeland to the Senate. "or we're lost." "Just one shot more," pleads the dope find, "and I'll be a man again." Some day the South is going to see that the only right way, the only moral way, is to encourage marriage among all its citizens. The present prospects are, however, that it will realize this too late, like the man in the story who had racked his mind to recall where he had hidden a large sum of money, and remembered it only after he had fallen overboard and was going down for the last time. Better, it is said, that the white race should perish first. Pullman Porters in Another Rally Assistant Organizer Des Verney Tells of Overcoming Opposition To stimulate the interest and encourage a stronger unity among its members, the local Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters held a meeting Friday night at the St. Luke's Hall. W. H. Des Verney, assistant organizer of the movement and called father of the assocation, was the principal speaker. Frank R. Crosswalth, Roy Lancaster, secretary-treasurer of the organization, and S. E. Grain, field representative, were also speakers. As a tribute to the passing of their leader's mother, Mrs. Elizabeth R. Randolph, the audience stood at the beginning of the meeting for two minutes with bowed heads. In spite of his mother's death, A. Philip Randolph remained on the Western Coast to further the organizing of the Pulman's Association, which is preliminary to entering into the American Federation of Labor. The cowardice of employed stool pigeons of the Pullman Company, the spy system that has been organized and the other unscrupulous methods that the company is using in different sections of the country to prevent the porters from organizing were revealed. Presidents of colleges throughout the South have been warned by the company that no students of their institutions will be given work during the Summer months if they allow anyone to speak to them in reference to the brotherhood organization. Mr. Des Verney, seemingly endowed with dry humor and delightful wit, entertained his listeners as he told of the horrors and difficulties he encountered while touring the South "planting the seeds of the brotherhood," he said. That union labor is even barred from sections of the country and that signs are posted in conspicuous places to inform newcomers of the fact was discovered by the organizer. He told of how he stayed in the waiting room of a station and took porters into the organization while another would stand guard to prevent the entrance of spies. Mr. Des Verney declared that Birmingham, Ala., was the most prejudiced city in the country. Using his characteristic wit, he said: "If a black man drinks milk in the presence of a white man in Birmingham he would be arrested." Crosswalth pleaded with the members for greater patience, perseverance, intelligence and careful thinking. He urged the man not to become satisfied because of the large increase in membership. If the Pullman Company raises the salary of every porter to $155 a month, it is 156 reasons why the porter should stick to the organization, he said. Suggest Lines for Senate Districts Would Extend From 116th to 155th Street—Harlem River to St. Nicholas Ave. Charles W. B. Mitchell, executive member, and Hamilton Travis, chairman of the executive committee of the Appomattox Republican Club, filed with the Special Committee on Reapportionment of the New York Republican County Committee, Collin Woodward, chairman, suggested lines for the new Senatorial district in Harlem. Mr. Woodward stated that it was the purpose of the conference to ascertain, if possible, the views of the colored citizens relative to proposed redistricting of the lines embracing territory in the Harlem section. No other concrete proposition was advanced and Fred R. Moore, Pope B. Billups, J. A. Steele, Mrs. Christine Maurer, Ellis Rivers, Dr. Julia Coleman, William Edwards, Chas W. A. Anderson, C. J. Ottley, and Michigan Brown spoke in support of the lines suggested. The Senate district lines are determined by the State Legislature; and within such lines the Board of Aldermen carves out the Assembly districts. Based upon the last census, each Senate district in New York County must include 208,000 citizens, allens not to be counted in such apportionment. As a rule, each Senate district includes three Assembly Districts, although this is not compulsory. The lines proposed by the Appomattox Republican Club embrace approximately 209,000 citizens, and since the basis for an Assembly district in New York County is 69,000 citizens, there is sufficient citizen population within the lines to permit of three Assembly districts. The lines embrace practically the entire colored section, and are designed to conserve the Negro's voting strength. The lines are not open to objection on the grounds of "segregation," for the reason that they embrace a considerable white population. The estimated ratio as to races within the lines suggested is about 60 to 40 in favor of colored people. Adoption of these lines will permit colored voters to elect two Assemblymen and two Aldermen, and will insure choice of four leaders or executive members, who will thereby enter the executive committees of both parties upon an equal basis with their white fellows. Parts of the 21st A. D., 13th, 11th, 17th, 20th, and all of the 19th A. D. are included. The United Civic League Building at 184 West 135th street, New York City, purchased in 1917 through the efforts of John M. Royall, who organized a holding company under the name of Harlem Allied Associates, Inc., as the business part of the United Civic League, was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Jones of New York City on last Monday, March 15. The building was erected as a private mansion for John Whitehead, banker and philanthropist—some of the material of which was imported. It first fell into the hands of the Church of the Redeemer; then it was purchased by the Seventh Day Adventist Church Society, from whom the Harlem Allied Associates purchased it. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Jones are the fifth purchasers of the property. The first floor is now occupied by the Dining Car Men's Home Association. Dr. Walter G. Cramp will be the speaker at the Citizens' Forum Sunday afternoon, March 21, at 4:40 p.m. His subject will be "Health Preservation."

The Constitution would be just the fodder the Solid South would most joyously absorb in its vigorous desire to waive the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Indeed, with happy laughter this particular section of our Federal Commonwealth would point to the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment as a reason why the Fifteenth should be forthwith set aside. It is the belief that the South was the most active advocate of the Eighteenth. Surely, however, every brother knows just how dormant the same section is with regard to the Fifteenth. In joining the band-wagon of repeal of the Eighteenth, the brethren of the dark cloth are indeed skating on the thinnest of ice. It has been well said that the U. S. Constitution affords no standing ground for extremists; and if anyone thinks that the Eighteenth Amendment was put into that historic document by the extremist group, that is no reason why it should be taken out by another extremist group. If white man wants repeal, let him set himself to the job in his own way; but let it be unsaid at consummation of a Constitutional repeal, if such an ill event ever takes place, that no black man was a party to it. The boomeranging of repeal might pass the white repealers on its backward course; but no one can deny the probability of its bringing with it an era of harm for those citizens whom the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are sworn to protect. Beware: German "Kulture" Kicks ACCORDING to the usually accurate New York Times, German culture is ringing the blues over the fact that its erstwhile proponents have lately weakened under the strains of Negro jazzers and the offerings of Negro actors, who, say the ex-Käiser's people, are a detriment to German social and cultural policies. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Howard University, continuing the practice inaugurated three years ago, will, during the summer of 1926, through its summer session, extend to those who are anxious to improve themselves by further study the opportunity of pursuing practically all of the college during the other quarters of the university year. To this end, the entire plant of the institution will be utilized in throwing open to the summer students all of the factors of university life that function at any other time. The libraries, laboratories, dormitories, as well as all of the facilities in connection with the conduct of the summer session, which will begin June 23 and extend over a period of eight weeks. In addition to the courses in the college departments, in keeping with the custom of former years, the Howard University School of Medicine is also planning to conduct courses in medicine and surgery for six weeks immediately following commencement. The courses to be offered the coming summer have assumed larger proportions than ever before, in that the medical school is concerned in conjunction with the School of Public Health.

This week the Boy Scout oath is explained. On his honor he is sworn to do his best. He is sworn or do his duty to God and do country and obey the Boy Scout law. He must keep himself physically fit, mentally awake and morally straight. The Times quotes the official organ of the German Nationalists, which, in a recent issue, said: "The contortions of these exotic guests have not any connection with art and culture. German artists who have undergone long years of training are starving, while troops of colored performers are gathering enormous salaries." Thus, there is sounded a new tune to the future of colored American performers abroad, who were once wont to find a warmer welcome over there than at times they received upon the American stage. In fact, London and Paris music halls, along with Berlin centers of amusement, have long since given our musical and theatrical aces the glad hand. Is this a genuine protest, based upon unemployment difficulties and industrial depressions which now abound in Germany? Is it a back-thrust on account of memories of the American Negro troops who, during the World War, made quite a dent in the German army? Or is it a subtle, semi-secret motivation of some unseen blog which is stealthily—endearingly—to inoculate germs, and increased hatred toward the darker races? It is of little moment whether a colored actor or cabaret singer is permitted to entertain a single unit of German culture; but it is of supreme importance that German culture and that of all the other countries, of Europe, Asia, Australia, etc., be made to recognize the fact that the world is tiring of dealing in colors; and that the modern trend will be to deal with men as men, in peace or in strife. augmented by the city ministers who have sensed the importance of the part health plays in modern life. Much credit is due Dean D. Browne, who produced this new phase into the curriculum of the School of Religion. A rainer unusual and interesting address was included in the activities at Howard University last week on the occasion of a visit to the institution by Mr. Ferest T.

He invited those interested to secure details from his Philadelphia office, 501 South 16th street, or from their local community recreation departments.

Scott, secretary of Howard University, and Rev. John Warnes Holmes, pastor of the Com- muaity-"Church, were the frst speakers. Mr. Andrew B, Humphreys, sec- retary of Men's National Republi- can Club of New York, told inter- estingly of his moro {intimate ro- ations with the lato Mr. Milhol- land. “L knew him," said Mr. Mum. phrers, “when his daughter, who fq now grown, was small enough to bounce on’ my imee. He was tho Negro’s friend and one of the last of the abolitionists. His purse was always open to contrib- we to any caugo which migbt bet- ter conditions.” Dr, Wm. A.

Mr. Milholland en- couraged and supported me. He always made me feel os if I was a wissionary, a ploneer in a field of sadenvor which needed much anc: ton." Dr. W, E, Burghardt Dn Pols, editor of the Crisis, declared that he would not have been where he ¥as today had {t not been for Mr. wiholland. “Sen boast of their faith in God,” sald Dr. Du Vols, “but 1 Reyer could understand ‘why God nesded men's faith. It is faith in ourselves and in our fellows that fe wants. That is what Mr. Mil- holland had. No nian was too in- Sguificant for hiny to help and en- courage. ‘To meet and talk with tim was to inspiro and fire you with ambition to accomplish some thing worth while. Nothing seemed impossible to him. He did not at- vempt to accumulate money or he would have been a milifonaire. Money ineant nothing to him only 43 something to be used in ac: complishing his purpose and that was alwaya ‘the advancement of colored prople.'” Miss Mary White Ovington, tho last and only woman speaker on the program. stated that it “was Most appropriate that # woman be Dresent to speak ou such an oc taston. “Mr. Milholland," concluded Miss Ovington in her ‘remarks, “was a man of extraordinary ‘courage.

TWELVE Cop Fells Armed Man With Club Quick thinking on the part of Patrolman Harris of the Fourth Precinct. In Newark, probably his last night, Saturday when he pursued Thomas Johnson into an alley at 166 Morris avenue, Newark, after the latter, according to the police, had shot and killed a man. There Johnson suddenly whipped out his revolver and levelled it at the policeman's head. Harold not have time to draw his own revolver, instead he attacked the man with his sticks and felled him before he had a chance to pull the trigger. Johnson is in the City Hospital with a skull fracture. When Johnson recovers he will be charged with the murder of Fred Williams of 34 Bank street, who was shot in a tankab Saturday night. James Robertson, 90 Grand avenue, East Orange, driver of the cab in which the shooting occurred, told police that he was sent to the home of Jesse Pearl, 191 Warren street, at 11:48 P. M., Snail and Tate, joined Johnson out of the house drunk and Williams got into the cab with him. They told Robertson to drive to Grove street and South Orange avenue, but at 13th avenue and Hunterdon street they told him to stop. Robertson says he heard them arguing about $28 which Williams was supposed to pay. Williams in, says Robertson, pulled a gun and shot Williams twice, killing him instantly. THE SOUTH AND THE TARIFF WASHINGTON, D. C.—Southern Democratic leaders have decided that the tariff will be the main point of attack upon Republicanism in the coming campaign. Their decision directs attention to the fact that the Democratic South has less than one-third of the population of the United States and only about 16 per cent. of the total number of manufacturing establishments reporting products valued at $5,000 or more. Of the nearly nine million wage earners employed in the factories throughout the country only about 16 per cent. are in the South. Of the products valued at about 61 billion dollars annually only about 12 per cent. were manufactured in the South. The State of New York alone has 5,600 more of this class of factories than the entire South, and the Empire State pays approximately 175 million dollars more in wages and salaries of manufactured products are 928 million dollars more per annum than is that of all the sixteen Southern States combined. Gets Three to Six Years for Shooting Officer PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 15.—Lawrence Horton, 22 years old, of Duff Street, found guilty of felonious assault and battery for the shooting of Patrolman Alfred Morris was sentenced to from three to six years in the workhouse by Judge James R. Macfarlane in criminal court. Horton also was found guilty of charges of carrying armed weapons and pointing firearms. It was testified, last October, that S. shot Patrolman Morris in the right arm near the Center Avenue police station, where he reported, after a cab driver entered the station and called for an officer. MAN TO GET $2,500 FOR DEATH OF WIFE MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 15.—Matt Lewis will receive $2,500 from Sheriff Will S. Knight for the killing of Lewis' wife last fall by C. C. Wortham, a deputy sheriff. Lewis was recently acquitted in court for the slaying of Wonder, the deputy shot his wife. The settlement for damages became known today when an entry in ink was made to the petition filed by Matt Lewis in Probate Court to be administrator of his wife's estate. Originally, the petition stated that the estate consisted only of a claim for damages resulting from strongful act. Later petition was made to send that the claim had been settled for $2,500. WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., March 16.—William Bolcher of North Tarrytown lost his $25,000 damage action against the New York Central. On April 2, 1925, he alleged, he fell through the roof and was injured in the North Tarrytown yards and suffered many injuries. He contended there should have been a rolling around the pit.

She's no good," said William Davis, 24, of 14 Nova street, Newark, when he was arrested last week one hour after he had stabbed and wounded Beatrice Thompson, 28, of the same address.

He said he had completed a 90-day sentence in the Essex County Jail for shoplifting last Tuesday. During the period of his incarceration, he told police, Miss Thompson, to whom he was engaged, that not only did he commit violence with him.

Interesting—yes—and proof of the need of a really good cough remedy. SYRUP MENTHOGEN WITH CREOSOTE is a mighty good cough remedy, and it is now being widely and effectively used by the medical profession because—(1) it is a ONE-DRUG cough remedy, not a "shotgun" mixture; (2) it does not constipate or upset the stomach; (3) it does not contain any narcotic, so that it may be given safely even to the youngest children; (4) it is highly palatable; and (5) it appeals strongly to the profession because it does not disguise the condition by simply alleviating the symptoms (like so many cough remedies), but actually exerts a beneficial effect upon the respiratory tract and definitely aids in subduing the cough. Lone Bandit Robs Tailor Shop of $41 About 7 o'clock Saturday night a lone bandit entered the West Side Tailor Shop, 200 Wost 138th street, and robbed the manager of the establishment, Reginald Jervis, of $41. Jervis and the delivery boy, Berkley Blackwell, were the only ones in the shop at the time. The man, who was very tall, slender and of brown skin complexion, came into the place and grumbled: "Hold 'em up!" He then went to the cash draw and took the money. When the hold-up was reported to the police, the owner of the tailor shop, Elbert Amos, was informed that the man's description had been previously reported. The man it believed by the authorities, has committed hundreds of hold-ups since last November.

Wednesday. March 17. 1926 A Pullman Porter IN THE MIDST of the Pullman porter controversy being waged between organizers of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Pullman Company, Lester A. Walton, of the New York World, has just interviewed William (Bill) Jenkins, now in his seventieth year, and who has been in the employ of the Pullman Company for half a century. Incidentally, and probably unintentionally, Mr. Walton has revealed several illuminating facts which speak out in favor of the porters in the present situation. IN THE MIDST of the Pullman porter controversy being waged between organizers of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the Pullman Company, Lester A. Walton, of the New York World, has just interviewed William (Bill) Jenkins, now in his seventieth year, and who has been in the employ of the Pullman Company for half a century. Incidentally, and probably unintentionally, Mr. Walton has revealed several illuminating facts which speak out in favor of the porters in the present situation. PORTER JENKINS SAYS: "The engines burned wood when I first went into the service. The Pullman porter, along with the rest of the train crew, would have to get off at woodpiles at certain points on the road and pack wood to the engine. "Fifty years ago we carried water in pails and the passengers drank out of tincups. The traveling public was not able to satisfy its thirst at will with ice water as today. "I worked twelve years without receiving one cent salary from the Pullman Company, I made my money in tips and selling papers, cakes and apples. In those days the Pullman porter was also what is now known as the 'candy butcher.' During all that time I had to pay for my uniform. "After a dozen years in the service I was paid $10 a month. Later it was increased to $12. Now I receive $77.50 and the recent increase will make it $83. I do not want to be retired for two reasons. One is I am still physically fit to remain on the job and the other is it will be no easy matter to support a family on the $30 monthly pension I shall be entitled to for serving the company all these years. "I am sure that during the world war the Pullman porter was the poorest paid of all workers. We were allowed $72.50 a month and when peace came we were cut $12.50. Yet we were affected by wartime prices and had to pay rent, buy food, clothing and other necessities." HERE is a man who has given fifty of his seventy years of life to one corporation and receives in exchange for his service the munificent sum of $83 per month. Twelve of these years were given without pay, and when at the end of that time placed on the payroll, it was for but $10 per month. When he finally leaves the service he will be given a retirement pay of $30 per month.

Twelve of these years were given without pay, and when at the end of that time placed on the payroll, it was for but $10 per month. When he finally leaves the service he will be given a retirement pay of $30 per month. THAT JENKINS HAS PROSPERED on so small a wage is due solely to his own thriftiness and not to the benevolence of the Pullman Company, which has constantly grown in wealth during the same period, and which, we trust, will continue to grow, not alone in service to travelers and in wealth, but toward a more equitable consideration of the men in its employ who have made its wealth possible. If the Brotherhood of Pullman Porters is able to do anything towards this end it will be rendering a service alike to the porters and the Pullman Company. Expressed by Our Contemporaries Harlem Invades Berlin (From the New York World.) While it is true there has been a slump in German comedians on the American stage since the days of Weber and Fields and Sam Bernard, yet we do not recall any indignant protests from the extreme Right in this country on the ground that their presence was a violation of American art and culture. Yet from Berlin comes the news that the Nationalist Party is having vapors at the spectacle of American Negroes getting "enormous salaries" on the German stage while native talent is starring. Excessive nationalism rarely has any luck with exotic forms of entertainment. And besides, haven't we had quite a lot of the German "expressionistic" drama in our own midst? We recall one play of that sort which had but two actors, twenty-one scenes, no acts, sentences of ten words each and very little scenery. Yet did Senator Hill Johnson arise in his place in the Senate and view with alarm? He did not. Haiti Under American Supervision NOTE: In reprinting the following editorial from the New York Times' it must not be inferred that its conclusions are subscribed to in whole or in part by the Amsterdam News. In his address on the Monroe Doctrine at Minneapolis in August, 1923, Secretary Hughes said that the United States would welcome the day when it could evacuate Haiti with the assurance that the Haitians would be able "to maintain an independent Government competent to keep order and discharge its international obligations." That assurance will not be found in the report of High Commissioner Russell for the calendar year 1925. Customs receipts were the largest in the history of Haiti, and at the close of the last fiscal year there was a surplus of $1,272,568 in the Treasury. With peace prevailing in the country, because the gendarmerie had won the confidence of the rural inhabitants, there had been "a general wave of prosperity throughout the agricultural areas." Much needed public works had been constructed and improvement in the health of the people war marked. Nevertheless, there was as much friction as ever between the Government and the press. The native newspapers represent the old ruling class. Of them General Russell says: "They carry little or no news, and devote their columns to petty criticisms of governmental acts." When it becomes necessary to curb them, which happens only when they vilify "governmental and diplomatic officials," the outyery is made that there has been interference with the liberty of the press. The chief target of the recalcitrant editors is President Borno. His unpopularity with them arises from the fact that he enjoys the favor of the High Commissioner and State Department. He is assailed because he postpones a call for the election of a National Assembly, the body under the Constitution of 1918 elects the President of Haiti. What are described as "transitory provisions" of the Constitution provide for the appointment of a Council of State of twenty-one members to legislate pending the meeting of the National Assembly. A protest was made to Secretary Kellogg last September, but he declined to interfere. It was then pointed out that President Borno's predecessor was rejected by the Council of State, which now names the President, and that he is therefore not a fixture. When he is assailed for not calling a legislative election his reply is that the Haitian people are not ready for it. In a statement made last year he defended the convention or greatly arranged with the United States: Nevertheless, there was as much friction as ever between the Government and the press.

But between this sacrifice and the life of shame, misery and ignominy from which it has rescued us, no citizen having a true sense of national honor could hesitate. President Borno charged the Opposition with developing "an agitation purely political under the lying pretext of 'restoring democratic institutions.'" He pledged himself to call an election of the two legislative chambers when in his judgment the Haitian people were ready for it. The rural population (nine-tenths of the whole) "is almost totally illiterate, ignorant and poor," according to him. The professional politicians of the towns are, he declares, "mainly illiterate." Most of the citizens who are intelligent and progressive, professional and business men and artisans, pronounced their electoral rights during the period of revolutions. President Borno has therefore taken his stand with the High Commission and other American officials, who know that the native politicians and their allies of the old ruling class could not be trusted to hold an election. The United States is committed to educating the Haitians in self-government, meanwhile putting their house in order. It was certainly a sacrifice of national self-respect.

Sir: In looking over your "platform" every week to "Break the Bonds." I would like to know why it is that Copeland's Department Store on 140th street and Eighth avenue advertises in Negro papers and caters almost exclusively to colored trade and yet refuses to employ colored women as salesladen. Respectfully. MISS AGNES GREGORY. March 13. 1926. New York City. Dr. Klapper Unjustly Accused To the Editor of the Amsterdam News. My Dear Sir: I have been much concerned about the implication that Dr. Paul Klapper, Dean of the School of Education of C. C. N. Y., is opposed to the advancement of Negroes, as instanced in the refusal of Mr. Howard Day's application for admission to the class for supervisors. That such an implication should arise in this instance surprises me when the facts are considered. Dr. Klapper admitted Mr. Howard Day to a similar course of his in 1922 (if my date is remembered correctly), and both Mr. Day and myself continued through the course to the end. Dr. Klapper was most helpful and genuinely solicitous about our advancement. This, I feel was due, not only to his natural desire that a large percentage of his class do him credit by passing the examination, but also to a sincere interest in the individual. Many instances of his care come to mind as this is written In addition to the above, I have had occasion to go to Dr. Klapper about a problem outside of his class work. This was an occasion where I considered professional courtesy had not been observed by another teacher. Dr. Klapper did not hostate to In addition to the above, I have had occasion to go to Dr. Klapper about a problem outside of his class work. This was an occasion where I considered professional courtesy had not been observed by another teacher. Dr. Klapper did not hostile to "A Bait for Negro Votes" By WILLIAM PICKENS THAT is what one New Jersey white politician calls the anti-lynching bill. Whenever one white politician does or offers to do something which colored people want and need, the opposing white politicians always say that this one is offering "a bait for Negro votes." But suppose he is doing something for colored people in order to get their votes, what difference does that make against the thing which he does? When he baits his hook with the right sort of stuff, he ought to catch Negro votes — unless the Negroes are idiots. If some office-seeker does for Negroes what is needed to be done for them, what better reason under heaven could he found for giving this fellow Negro votes? That is what Negro votes are made for — first of all — for self-defense and self-protection. That is what the votes of any group exist for. citizenship, full rights for his whole race and all other races. These are the things for which he should gladly "sell out." When they go angling for Negro votes let them learn to cover their hooks with the right sort of bait—like anti-lynching bills, speeches against segregation, equal suffrage demands, protests against Jim Crow schools. And if they bring plenty of this class of bait, it won't do any harm for them to fetch along, also, a few post-office jobs, port collectorships, and departmental sinecures. These won't hurt anything. But if they bring nothing else but such little bait as these last, they will get few bites in the ponds of the Black Bass. First Boston Massacre Day Proclamation By His Excellency ALVAN T. FULLER, Governor of Massachusetts. A PROCLAMATION: One hundred and fifty-six years ago, on the fifth day of March, there occurred what is known in history as the Boston Massacre. Resentment aroused by undust taxation without representation had crea- d a bitter feeling between the citizens of Boston and the British soldiers quartered within in the confines of the city. It culminated in a crisis out of which resulted the killing of five citizens outright and the mortally wounding of two more by the soldiers who had fired into the crowd. The beloved Paul Revere, arriving too late to prevent the terrible tragedy, turned to his friend Crispus Attacks lying in the snow crimsoned by his life's blood and said: "Ah, Crispus, if only reason could have turned that mad heart of thine. None rone ever beat. Freedom has lost an ardent friend this day. God grant that this blood has not been spilled in vain." Stirring times, of which this event was one, preceded the great struggle which finally gave us our liberty and independence. The lesson taught is that right makes might. It take up the matter and to adjust it to my entire satisfaction. In the interest of fair play, which we as Negroes have to be continually conscious of, I am hoping that you will see your way clear to present both sides of the case. I am sure Dr. Klapper is a friend who deserves this, and that your paper will continue 's high journalistic policy in the cause of right. With appreciation. I am. GERTRUDE E. McDOUGALD, Assistant, Principal, P. S. No. 83, Manhattan, New York City. Major Jackson Defends Major Grimley In a recent issue of your paper there appeared an article concerning the 369th Infantry. In a paragraph in which you state "that it was rumored that Major F. Grimley told Major William H. Jackson what he would do to him if he had him down South." I wish to deny that any such remark or similar remark was ever made to me by Major Grimley or any other officer during my military service of many years. Can you believe that if such a remark was addressed to me that we both would be in the same regiment? To believe such a thing probably would be to question my manhood. As a matter of fact Major Grimley and I are, and have always been on the most intimate and friendly terms, and he has never exhibited one moment of prejudice toward me. (Editor's note: It was not alleged that the statement above referred to was made in the presence of Major Jackson.) Major Grimley is administrative head of Columbia Hospital in West 1634th street, which hospital has an extension opening in West 1633rd street, the south side of which is tenanted by colored people, and the doors of this hospital have always been open to colored people for treatment and advice without cost. Many men of this regiment and their families have been treated at this institution, and beds have been provided there for colored patients. And Columbia Hospital is a private institution. It does not appear that a "nigger hating" physician would permit our group to enter such a hospital. I would suggest that in the future, should you be apprised of rumors regarding this regiment, that you in all fairness to this regiment, the general public and your valued paper at least attempt to ascertain true information from the proper source. Such an article as published last week concerning the 369th Infantry can serve no good purpose; only tends to disturb the minds of and affect the morale of the men of this regiment, and lend false and unfair impressions to honest and kindly disposed people of our group. Such expressions also serve to keep him We have noticed that, whenever any politician of any race is appealing for the votes of his own race or for the votes of any other race he always tells them what he has done or proposes to do that is good for them. He never appeals for votes by telling the voters what he has done against them. We notice, also, that those who oppose the Negro's interest are always after somebody else's votes, like Ku Klux votes or Southern votes or the votes of people prejudiced against Negroes. Those who say: "He is doing that for the Negroes in order to get their votes," are really dishonest; for they are pretending that there is some other way to get votes from the Negro or from anybody else; they are pretending that to get white people's votes the politician just has to tell them what he has done and means to do against white people; or maybe to tell the Ku Klux what he means to do to help Negroes, Catholics and Jews. "A balt for Negro votes" then, is mere quibble. The only answer is that a good "balt" for Negro votes ought to catch plenty of them. If somebody offers in exchange for Negro votes that he will even so much as try to pass a law to keep mobs from burning Negroes alive, what better reason could be offered the Negro for his vote? A "tariff" on beans will not be a good substitute to offer the Negro; whether beans be imported, free or under tax will do the Negro no good if he is burned up before he gets to eat any of the beans. If Congressman Dyer of Missouri and Senator McKinley of Illinois are fighting for an ant-lynching bill in Congress just to get Negro votes, that is still the best reason that can be found anywhere in interstellar space why they should get the vote of every Negro in their districts. No really wise man ever said that the Negro voter should not have "his price"; but he must make his price worthy of his support. The price must not be money or a bottle of rum or a job or any personal lift—but manhood rights, equal To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Slt: creeds of good men from enjoying the splendid benefits derived from National Guard service. I personally, have striven eight years trying to keep our group represented in the military service of this State, and we are making splendid progress worthy of traditions of our race. An unwarranted attack at this time should be regretted by all good people. This regiment deserves the whole-hearted support of the community instead of the periodical spurts of wrath from our newspapers. I trust that you will be good enough to give suitable space for this, my urge to dispel false rumors and deny the allegation that such remarks referred to were ever addressed to me by Major Grimley. Thanking you in advance, and with kindest personal regards, I am. 26 West 143rd Street March 8, 1925. The Words of Two Senators SENATOR J. THOMAS HEFLIN, OF ALABAMA: "There is no better way of serving the community and no better way of serving the Negro everywhere than being entirely frank with him and telling him the truth and the whole truth regarding an evil and a crime that lies at the bottom of nearly every race plot that has occurred in our country, and that is the crime of rape. When that crime is committed in the South the Negro who commits it dies; but we never harm or permit anyone to harm an INNOCENT Negro." SENATOR WILLIAM B. McKINLEY, OF ILLINOIS: "Those who are in the habit of justifying or apologizing for lynching, defend the practice on the ground that it is a fit punishment for rape. The figures available entirely REFUTE this contention. Of the whites lynched the largest per cent, 46, were accused of murder, while 8.4 per cent were accused of rape and 'attacks upon women.' Of the Negroes 35.8 per cent were accused of murder and 28.4 per cent of rape and 'attacks upon women.' It is thus to be seen that of the whole number of lynchings not more than 19 per cent of the victims were accused of rape, while the remaining 31 per cent were accused of other crimes or misdemeanors, or even of NO CRIME at all, the newspaper accounts being that some of these victims had been guilty of no other offense than that of being LAZY or exhibiting BAD MANNERS. While it appears that lynching is practiced in all parts of the country and upon both races and sexes, by far the greater number of victims are of the Negro race. The colored people accordingly are the greatest sufferers from this form of lawlessness." teaches us, also, the necessity of even-handed justice in dealing with human rights, which, if denied, makes sacrifices necessary to secure these rights. The names of Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Patrick Carr and Crispus Attucks come down to us through the years as men who died for love of their country. Their souls go marching on. It is an inspiring lesson.

Up to Negro to Acquaint World With the Achievements of His Race Up to Negro to Acquaint World With the Achievements of His Race The Negro must publish his history to the world or remain content with the status of inferiority. This is the keynote of the Spring Conference of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, to be held at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, Petersburg, Virginia, on the 30th and 31st of this month. The recent effort of the Association has been to publish the facts of Negro history during the Reconstruction. The program of the conference will center around this subject. Prof. John R. Hawkins will deliver an address on "The Virginia Negroes in History Since the Civil War"; Prof. L. P. Jackson will discuss the education of the Negro during the Reconstruction; Dr. James S. Russell will emphasize the rural economic progress of the race in freedom; Profs. Rayford W. Logan and J. H. Johnston will deliver addresses on the Negroes' participation in the Reconstruction Government of Virginia, and Prof. M. M. Fisher and Dr. C. G. Woodson will discuss the Negro church through this stormy period. There will be presented a pageant, called "The Gateway," visualizing the life and history of the Negro. Sending out the announcement of this conference, Dr. Woodson refers to popularizing Negro history as a challenge to the Negro. He says: "Either convince the world that you have a record as glorious as that of any other race or remain content with a fixed status of inferiority. The greatest scholars of today are saying that there is no such thing as race in science and that there is nothing in anthropology or psychology to been a consistent opponent of lynching and mob violence, fought the American seizure of Haiti, and has frequently published articles by colored contributors. For a number of years, until his election as vicepresident, Mr. Villard served as disbursing treasurer of the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Villard is a grandson of the great abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison. ITALIAN COUNTESS VISITS FISK UNIV.

Let hounds of prejudice still bar the gate; Our struggling soul essays To sing of liberty! Oppression sits with gloomy wings unfurled, And thraldom's bitter chain. Against us every flaming dart is hurled: We laugh at fear and pain: We sing of liberty! Long ere the bells of liberty had rung For our benighted sires Hymns of soul-freedom dauntlessly were sung Round Freedom's quenchless fires, In daring prophecy. Who can arrest the tide or stay the sun. In their sublime careers? Our freedom, in a thousand battles, won— Shrinking no earthly fears, Knows only victory! For sixty years, the fields of fruitful toil Have known our busy ploughs: In mine, at forge, our sweat and blood still foll Relentless Nature's vows: We make earth laugh and sing. Our skins are dark, but Freedom's brightest fires Illuminate our souls! And heavenly muses touch our golden lyres, And make to sing our souls— Making us each a king! Ring, ring, glad bells of daintless liberty! Through bitterness and pain— Ring on until Oppression's cruelty Expends itself in vain: And then, ring louder still! Ring on until earth's palefaced offspring learn, That thou wert born to bless All living things—wherever soul-fires burn. Thy skin is but a dress: The man is soul-set-will. support such myths as the inferiority or superiority of races. These truths, however, will have little bearing on the uplift of the Negro, if they are left in the state of academic discussion. There must be actual demonstration. The Negro must learn his past and publish it to this prejudiced world. "A man's social standing is determined largely by the record of his family. A nation is known for what it has achieved. The very name of Greek or Roman excites admiration; the mere mention of the word Negro arouses contempt. And yet the Negro has contributed as much to the welfare of mankind as the Greek or the Roman. The Negro himself, however, does not know it, because his friends have not been anxious for him to learn his interesting story. "It is purely a matter of traditional education. In our homes and in our schools we are taught the virtues and achievements of one race only. In practically all of the schoolhouses of Europe and America there is not a picture on the wall or a book on the shelf to show that a Negro has ever achieved anything. "The white people of today, then, should not be blamed for their contemptuous attitude toward the Negro. The Negroes should not be censured if some of them have the 'inferiority complex'. Centuries of perverted education will do almost anything; for education, after all, is too often downright promasanda. "We are taught that the Negro has no history; and, judging from the pagan point of view, we must concede that the Negro lacks the prestige of recent conquests and exploitation. But real history is not the narrative of military depots who have afflicted the world with misery while they were contending for supremacy, not the record of those who have indulged themselves in luxury and ease at the expense of weaker peoples. "To-day we are getting a new vision of history as the progress of mankind toward a social and spiritual ideal, the elimination of strife, the promotion of peace and good-will into the happy day when men shall forget their national prejudices, outgrow racial differences, cast aside race hate, and rise unto the altruism of a rejuvenated universe." s Corner "The Poet's Corner" will not have a self-addressed and stamped Freedom's brightest fires ach our golden lyres, or souls— ach a king! dauntless liberty! d pain— man's cruelty : ing louder still! defaced offspring learn, to bless ever soul-fires burn. s: soul-set-will.
