Identification's Blunders IN WASHINGTON last week two obliging newspaper reporters at police headquarters agreed to stand beside two tough looking suspects arrested by police in connection with a recent hold-up, while the victim sought to identify his assailants from the four. After a "careful" inspection the "victim" POSITIVELY identified one of the REPORTERS as one of the men who had held him up and robbed him. It took a preponderance of explanations by detectives to shake the identification vision of the victim who finally admitted his error after being repeatedly told that the reporters were placed in line merely to give the suspects an even break.
While insignificant in the local police annals, the above blunder in identification might be imbibed by the recurrent "victims" of "criminal" Negroes, who readily identify the Negro perpetrator, who at once "confesses" his sin, and in turn becomes the victim of mob violence. The number of victimized Negroes who have been thus "identified" by "outraged" white people of the southland and meted out a speedy injustice probably goars upwards into the thousands. "Confessions" and "identifications" of the above type have too often proved convenient instrumentalities of conviction and manhandling of innocent Negroes.
If integrity laws and color bars are so essential in the jealousy of the dominant race to preserve itself from the perdition of amalgamation, then how much more necessary it is to perfect some plan whereby misidentification and malconfessions of accused persons may be made impossible. That the above incident is ample proof of their fallacy and is outstanding in its example of human errors of most dangerous results, we believe, cannot be denied. If the antitrueing bill should fail of passage, then let Congress enact a national measure which will guarantee accuracy before trial and conviction.
Garveyites Face Dilemma
THE Garveyites and the anti-Garveyites of the U.N.I.A. are facing their first real organization dilemma, which will probably continue long after the convention adjourns this Wednesday. Notwithstanding the fact that in the absence of the deposed Provisional President of Africa, who is still unavoidably detained in Atlanta, Ga., one of his chief supporters, Fred A. Toote, of Detroit, Mich., has been elected as Acting President of the U.N.I.A., thus routing the Sherrill group, which expected to wear the Garvey mantle. The new guiding group, headed by Toote, is not certain that it can exercise a successful directorate over the New York and Chicago branches of the U.N. I.A., which, so far as dollars and "sense" are concerned, form the real backbone of the parent body.
It is only in the scattering cities, made up of a membership principally of newcomers, unacquainted with the detailed history of the U. N. L. A., that the Sherrillites (Continued on Page 2.)

JEALOUS HUSBAND THREATENED TO TAKE WIFE'S LIFE
Joseph Phillipus Held for Special Sessions on Charge After Hearing in Heights Court
A jealous husband, who is alleged to have threatened his wife because she refused to come back to him, was brought before Magistrate Earl Smith in the Washington Heights Court Monday and held in $300 bail for Special Sessions.
Mrs. Annie Phillipus, who is residing at 309 West 144th street, the complainant, was represented by Attorney Cornellus McDougal. Her husband, Joseph, the defendant, gave his address as 415 St. Nicholas avenue.
Swearing that he had not written a letter of threat to his wife, Phillipus was presented an envelope which he admitted was his handwriting. He was then forced by Counselor McDougal to write his name on a separate sheet of paper. The lawyer rested his case after the court was convinced that the letter was written by him.
On direct examination it was brought out that the couple had been living apart for over eight months. Phillipus, his wife said, had met her on several occasions and bogged her to return to him. Continually refusing to return, Phillipus wrote her a letter, it is claimed, informing her that he was determined to have her, or he would take her life.

Mrs. Elaine Douglass Sentenced on Gun Charge
Mrs. Elaine Douglas, charged with violation of the Sullivan Law, who pleaded guilty to the charge in the Court of Special Sessions on March 16, was sentenced to three months in the Workhouse Monday by Justices Direnzo, Kelly and Caldwell.
Her attorney, Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal, in urging the court to suspend sentence, stated that she was expecting a child to be born as a result of her relations with Dr. Perry W. Choney. The court inquired of her if she were pregnant and when she expected the child to be born, to which she made no reply. When she was sentenced she fainted and was carried bodily out of the court by the court attendants.
She will receive credit for four days already served and allowed five days per month for good behavior and will be released about June 10.

Brewing in U.N.I.A.
Factional Troubles Sure to Follow Detroit Action Removing New York Officials
Whether or not the Garvey faction has been inaugurated as the temporary head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association after their election at Detroit could not be learned from the headquarters at 56 West 136th street Monday.
Following the notion that was taken by the divisional heads in Detroit, it was believed inevitable that a fight between two sets of general officers would ensue. The election of a new first assistant president-general and grand chancellor of exchequer was as a result of the officers' attitude towards Marcus Garvey, it was claimed.
William Sherrill, George E. Carter and Clifford S. Bourne are the old officers who have been filling the positions of first assistant president-general, secretary-general and grand chancellor of exchequer, respectively, for several years. The Detroit meeting elected P. A, Toots of Philadelphia, W. A. Wallace of Chicago and Levi Lord of New York to their places.
Sherrill wont to Detroit to present his side of the case, but his resignation was asked, the charge being made that he had not carried out the policies of Garvey.
Carter and Bourne did not attend the convention, maintaining it was unconstitutional.
The election at Detroit has not met with the approval of a majority of New York members. Neither the old or new officers were at the office of the association during the first part of the week.
Falling to move from in front of the 125th street subway station when a police officer ordered him to do so, Solomon Phillips, 7 W. 135th street, was fined $7 by Magistrate Earl Smith in Washington Heights Court Monday.

THE NEW YORK
RESERVE OFFICER EXONERATED IN KILLING OF TODD
Manslaughter and Sullivan Law Violation Grew Out of Affair in Roosevelt Theatre—Canton Shot Down by Detective Dudley
Albert Canton, a reserve officer attached to the 135th street police station and private police for the Roosevelt Theatre, who was charged with manslaughter and violation of the Sullivan law, was exonerated by the Grand Jury Friday.
The charges against Canton grew out of his shooting and instantly killing Leon Todd, who was accused of stealing a pocketbook from a woman in the theatre and was attempting to escape arrest. Canton also was shot and seriously wounded at the same time by Detective William Dudley of the Third Division.
In defense of the police reserve officer, Richard White, captain of the reservists, made the following statement:
"The police reserves are sworn in as regular police officers and are always on duty. The public has been misled by the erroneous statements published from time to time about the authority of the reserve relative to carrying firearms and making arrests. The statement as published in The Amsterdam News on February 24 by Patrolman Dudley relative to the shooting was false and misleading in every way. Mention has never been made by anyone relative to any medals being given to Dudley for his reckless shooting. Police Reserve Canton has a splendid record and is well thought of in the 16th precinct and has been given justice where justice is deserved."
YOUNG WOMAN
HELD FOR BURGLARY
Mrs. Eleanor Henderson, 27, 118 West 134th street, was held in $1,000 bail for a further hearing by Magistrate Corrigan in Harlem Court Friday
Mrs. Henderson is charged with having burglarized the home of Mrs. Bella Schwartz, white, 23 East 108th street. Entrance was galanced by forcing open the front door. She was observed leaving the apartment by two girls who notified Mrs. Schwartz, who was making a purchase in a nearby store.
Finding that she was being followed, Mrs. Henderson, it is charged, ran into a candy store at 1622 Madison avenue, where she is alleged to have thrown to the floor $14 in cash, a pair of silk stockings and several other small articles which were identified by Mrs. Schwartz as her property.
EXTRA 2 BABIES FOUND IN ASH CAN
Employees of the Street Cleaning Department engaged in their task of carting away ashes and rubbish yesterday a little before noon, on West 132nd street, found dead twin babies in an ash can in front of the premises at No.103.
One of the cleaners was about to empty the can when his curiosity was aroused by a peculiar odor. He called his co-workers and caused them to search the can. Wrapped in newspapers; the babies, weighing about a pound each, were discovered.
A large crowd quickly collected, attracting the attention of Patrolman Weber, of the 135th street police station. The officer carried the babies to the station, and then into Bellevue Hospital Morgue.
Detectives attached to the station were scouring the neighborhood shortly after the infants were discovered, endeavoring to find some possible clue that would lead to the identity of their mother.
GARVEY SHIP SOLD AT AUCTION
The S. S. Booker T. Washington, owned by the Black Cross Navigation Company, a U. N. I. A. subsidiary, was sold at auction Monday for $25,000 in a U. S. Marshal's sale. The ship, which cost $100,000, and on which nearly $50,000 was spent in improvements and repairs, was purchased by Winthrop Waithe, an insurance agent, who held a $10,000. mortgage on it. In shipping circles it was stated that the officers of the Black Cross Company refused an offer a few days ago for $60,000. The ship was sold to satisfy a judgment of $3,900.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRL WHO ACCIDENTALLY PLUNGED FROM 4TH FLOOR WINDOW SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES

Solemn, yet beautiful, funeral rites were held over the remains of Miss Carrie Virginia Peters, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Peters. 319 West 139th street, at Mt.

Democratic Senator From Mississippi Moves to Reconsider Action
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 29. —The nomination of James A. Cobb to be Judge of the Municipal Court here is still lacking confirmation. Last Wednesday Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, after the Senate had the day before confirmed Cobb, succeeded on a plea of "senatorial courtesy" in having the work undone by moving to reconsider the previous action. Harrison gave as his reason that he was particularly interested in the matter and that he was absent from the chamber when the vote was taken. It was confidently expected that at the next executive meeting of the Senate, despite the Mississippi senator's ravings, that Mr. Cobb would be recoured. It is alleged that Harrison's attack is largely inspired by Negroes themselves, among them being, in addition to the outspoken opponents of Mr. Cobb, certain influential politicians.—Exchange.

The Rev. William P. Hayes, pastor of the church, eulogized the life of his young parishioner, whom he spoke of as "a paragon of excellence." The Rev. Raymond Henderson, assistant pastor of the church, and Rev. Marshall Shapard assistant pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, assisted in the services.
At 10:55 P. M., Sunday the body was shipped to Gates, N. C., where Miss Peters was born twenty years ago. A funeral party including her parents, the Rev. Hayes, her fiance, Dr. Raymond Cannon of St. Paul, Minn., and Counselor Myles Paige accompanied the body.
Telegrams of condolence were received from different sections of the country.
The procession entered the church somewhat behind the scheduled time. It was almost 1:30 P. M. when the ministers ascended the rostrum. The pallbearers all of whom were members of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, of which Dr. Cannon is national president, marched silently down the aisle.
Mrs. Petors, supporting herself on the arm of her deceased daughter's flance, followed. The entire procession of relatives and the local chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha then took their seats. Two trained nurses attended Mrs. Peters all during the ceremony. The rostrum was lined with large and beautiful floral tributes. The white casket bearing the body of the once cheerful girl was placed at the foot of, literally, a mountain of flowers. Prior to the Rev. Hayes' eulogy, Mme. Houston and Miss Olive Hopkins sang solos. One of the most pathetic and tense moments during the service was created when the deceased's mother reviewed the remains. "Carrie, you won't call mother in the morning—no more. You can't speak to mother," she exclaimed as she sobbed. Mr. Peters was seen to bury his face into his hands and weep vehemently.
Resolutions were read by Rev. Shepard, who is chaplain of the local chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha; a representative of the H.

Board Adopts Resolutions of Appreciation for Services Rendered by J. Stanley Durkee
WASHINGTON. D. C.
Mar. 25. At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees of Howard University held in the Board Room, University Campus, Thursday, Mar. 25, the resignation of Dr. J. Stanley Durke as President of the University was accepted, to take effect June 30, 1926.
COLONEL ROOSEVELT
APPOINTED CHAIRMAN
The committee appointed for this purpose is composed of Col. Theodore Roosevelt of New York City, chairman; Dr. Charles R.

C.; Dr. M. O. Dumas, Washington, D. C.; Dr. Sara W. Brown, Washington, D. C.; Mr. John R. Hawkins, Washington, D. C., and General John H. Sherburne, Boston, Mass.

"The Board of Trustees of Howard University has received and accepted the resignation of Dr. James Stanley Durkee as president of the university with deep regret.
"We are profoundly grateful for the services Dr. Durkee has rendered in the leadership of this institution during one of the most
important and critical periods of its history. He has worked with the Board of Trustees with fidelity and hearty accord. He has been loyal to Howard University and the race which it serves, giving himself to their welfare with enthusiasm and sacrificial devotion. "His administration has made a remarkable record of constructive advancement in raising standards of scholarship, in a much larger degree of efficiency and coordination of departments. In notable additions to the university buildings and equipment, in greatly increased student enrollment and in a remarkable rise in scholastic standing.
"Dr. Durkee has added much to the prestige and usefulness of Howard University, bringing wisdom and inspiration to the great cause of character building, equipment for life service and the advancement of the colored race in America.
"We, the Board of Trustees of Howard University, extend to Dr. Durkee our gratitude, our affection and our heartiest wishes in his personal life, and in the important work into which he is about to enter."
Dr. Durkee has resigned the presidency of Howard University to accept the position as pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church, Brooklyn, N.Y.
The Budget Committee of the Board of Trustees met on Friday, March 26, for the purpose of formulating the university's budget for the school year 1928-1927. The Budget Committee will hold several meetings prior to the annual meeting to be held in June, at which time the recommendations of the Budget Committee will be submitted for adoption.
2 Held for 8th Ave. Store Robbery
Bail
Bail was denied two men who were arraigned before Magistrate Earl Smith in the Washington Heights Court Monday on a charge of robbery. The prisoners, Merritt Oliver and Lorenzo Robinson, will be tried before Special Sessions. Murray Marcus, white, 163 Allen, made the charge. He said that on February 20 the two men entered his store at 2285 Eighth avenue. A customer who was in the place at the time and Marcus were forced to hold up their hands at the point of a gun while one of the thieves took about $100 from the cash register.
Oliver has served seven months in the state penitentiary in Pennsylvania, being convicted of swimming a number of people in a "golden brick" scheme. Robinson also, police said, has a long record. Because of their records, ball was denied them.

Another Burglar Held Without Bail
When Assistant District Attorney Ewald showed a long record of previous convictions for burglary, robbery and assault, Charles Hallenbeck, 225 W. 127th street, was held without bail on a charge of burglary by Magistrate Renaud in Washington Heights Court Friday for the Special Sessions.
Hallenbeck has spent a total of ten years in Sing Sing, Assistant District Attorney Ewald told the court. Hallenbeck did not deny this.
On Monday Luu Thomas, white, 2700 Eighth avenue, reported to the West 152nd Street Police Station that her apartment on the ground floor had been entered by a bulgar and jewelry and wearing apparel stolen. Detective Flinter of the West 152nd Street Station was assigned to investigate the robbery and located the missing clothes in a Harlem pawnshop.
When Hallenbock called at the pawnshop for the goods to redeem them Flinter arrested him. Miss Thomas identified the goods as her clothes.
Blind Woman Pleads in Vain for Defendant
John Allen, 32, 149 East 140th street, who was held for sentence after being arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct before Magistrate Goodman in Night Court last Wednesday, was given 20 days in the Workhouse Friday night despite the declaration of Mrs. Mary Chapman, 8 East 152nd street, that she did not wish to see him sent to fail. Mrs. Chapman, who is totally blind, was the complainant against Allen. Mrs. Chapman had testified that Allen, although married, had been annoying her daughter with his attentions. Last Wednesday, she said, he came to her apartment and when refused admittance broke down the door. Mrs. Chapman's daughter was in court last Wednesday night and she said she played no part in Allen's courtship except as the unwilling recipient of his attentions.
"Cave Man" Fined $5
On a charge of disorderly conduct, William Cooper. 25. 101 West 140th street, was finalized by Magistrate Goodman in the Night Court Thursday. The complaint was made by Miss Mary Thomas, 25. 106 West 147th street, who claimed that Cooper was forcing his affections on her.

Efforts to Save Girl's Life Fail

FELL FOUR STORIES.
On last Monday afternoon Miss Peters returned home from school as buoyant and frolicsome as ever. She heard her father make a remark about the windows needing washing. This remark was not intended for her, but she felt that there was no reason why she couldn't wash the windows, and so at once she proceeded to do the job. It was while swinging from the outside of a window on the fourth floor that she lost her balance and fell to the concrete pavement below. She was rushed immediately to the Hurlem hospital where an operation and transusion of blood brought the hope that she might recover.
COUNSELOR GIVES BLOOD.
Attorney Paige, who is a close friend to the family, volunteered to supply two measures of blood. Rev. Hayes referred to this act as "the very essence of loyalty." The clergyman quoted this remark of the young lawyer which he made to the surgeon on the demand for a second measure of blood: "Doctor, take every drop of blood that's in my body if you need it to save her life." Efforts were made to see that no necessary professional service was withheld. In addition to the regular staff of nurses, a private nurse, a personal friend of the deceased, was also at the bedside of Miss Peters until she breathed her last. Miss Peters fought valiantly for her life, but hers was a losing battle. Early Friday morning she gave up the fight and became resigned to the inevitable.
The Rev. Hayes was slow and deliberate in his delivery. His sadness was embodied with admiration, and in his message there was pathos and admiration.
"Loving relatives and friends stood ready night and day to give their all, you, even their lives, for her sake. All wanted her to live, all prayed that she might live. She herself wanted to live, and fought as valiant a fight for life as one could ever hope to witness. Carrie never lost the will to live until near the last when the paths and the fever became so intense. She wanted to live for the sake of those
who loved her and whom she loved. She wanted to live for the sake of her mother and father. She wanted to live for the sake of Dr. Raymond W. Cannon, to whom she was engaged and would have married this December coming," the minister said in a soft tone that raintly echoed over the silent audience. "If one attempts to give a delineation of the life and character of Carrie Virginia Peters he falls, for the reason that one is simply not able to do justice in the portrayal of so beautiful a life and character. Carrie Virginia Peters could not be measured by any ordinary yard-stick of human judgment. She was everything noble, beautiful, and true that a young woman should be, with a plus sign. If there is any such thing as an ideal girl, Carrie Peters was that girl."
ESSENTIALLY A CHURCH GIRL.
"She was essentially a girl of the church. Her religious experience stood her in good stead during those trying days and nights in the hospital. Never once did her faith waver; never once did she cease to pray nor to request prayers from dear ones and friends. Her pastor and assistant pastor of fered prayer after prayer with her and for her. She invariably felt better after each prayer. Just before her spirit winged its flight to fairer shores, Carrie asked Rev. J. Raymond Henderson to offer prayer. Yes, she believed in prayer. She died as sweetly as she had lived. There was no struggle. Those who witnessed her passing declare that it was peaceful and happy."
STUDENT IN GIRLS' SCHOOL
Miss Peters, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peters, was born in Gates, N. C. June 17, 1906. She attended the public schools of New York City, and would have graduated this year from Wadleigh High School had she lived. She joined Mount Olivet Baptist Church on Palm Sunday, 1920. From the day she joined the church up to last Sunday she was more or less actively identified with some phase of church work. She was especially active in the Sunday School and the Junior B. Y. P. U. She was at one time a teacher in

(Continued from Page 2.) You can gamble upon holding the filfated organization intact. Coupled with this dilemma is the challenge of any definite program of progression. The Sherriflites claim to have the money and brains essential to launching a new program; but, alas, they have lost control. Two exits are apparent, namely, either the complete disintegration of the L. N. J. A., or the usual "split," by no means new in the adventures of Negro organizations.
Were the imprisoned leader free to guide and direct the creature of his brain, the present puzzle could not have arisen; and the experiment could go on to a conclusion as to whether or not an organization so founded and with such peculiar objectives as "Back to Africa," etc. could live amid the newly awakened spirit of the black peoples of the world. But with clamor and discord potentially rampant in its ranks it will be a miracle if the U. N. I. A. can weather the last storm of discontent and dissension. A program is what the U. N. I. A. and all other Negro organizations need more than anything else; and programs call for unity, brains and money, the absence of any one of which means instant defeat. Whichever quasi-leader, Tooto or Sherill, can mobilize all three of the above-noted factors first will be the one who can rescue the U. N. I. A.

OIL MILLIONAIRE TALKS TO STUDENTS
ROCKEFELLER ADDRESSES STUDENTS OF HAMPTON INSTITUTE
Tells of the Opportunity Modern Youth Has to Make the World Better Student Chorus Sings
HAMPTON, Va., Mar. 29,
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
with Mrs. Rockefeller
and their four sons, is visit-
ing Hampton Institute, spoke
Sunday night in the Ogden
Memorial Auditorium to the
Hampton students and a
large audience of representa-
tion of the lower peninsula
of Virginia. His subject was
the opportunity of modern
wouth to help make the modern
Church all that the Nazarene
would have it be in an
age which has shown the utter
utility of force in set-
ting disputes among men
and nations.
Mr. Rockefeller, who was introduced by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton, as one of the most generous friends of the institute and of Negro education, said that the singing of the Negro religious folk melodies or spirituals by the great student chorus of more than 800 voices was to him an inspiration and joy.
Mr. Rockefeller said in part:
"Many years ago I expressed the wish that I could find the educational opportunities for my children which Hampton offers. Education at Hampton is practical, broad common sense. It fits one so well for life, and this is the end and aim of education. It fits men and women for useful living and service."
"The influence of this institution is a Christian one. Many young people think the church is not a very vital institution in modern life. They confuse religion with worship and creed. Jesus Christ did not establish a church or annunciate a creed. He lived a life. "Young people will not put up with insincerity. The church, if it's not what it should be, must be changed to bring about the Christian way of life.
"There is no real reason, however, why young people should say that they will not have anything to do with the church. They must help right any wrongs of which they complain. They should ally themselves with the church and make it what Christ meant it should be.
"If civilization is to continue the spirit of brotherhood must continue among men, and nations. Force has no place in settling disputes. Force means the extermination of civilization. Love is the force above all forces that is potent. What your people may do and may become is largely dependent on how true you students of Hampton are to the high ideals of Christian service which have here been taught."

Admits Hiring Man to Kill His Father
Joseph Chicusii, Jr., white, 21 years old, of 114 Telford avenue, Newark, has confessed to the police of that city that he offered William Earl of 42 Milford street $150 to slay his father. He is held for violation of the Sullivan law, and Earl as a material witness. Earl has admitted that he planned to take the money, but did not intend to carry out the bargain. Chicusii's action, according to his story, was prompted by a promise he made his mother just before she died three years ago. The father, he said, was cruel to her.
Lewis' Daughter Died by Own Hand
Medical Examiner Withheld Fact From Public Until After Funeral
BOSTON, March 29.—With the filing of the death certificate of Miss Elizabeth Lewis, daughter of ex-U. S. Attorney William H. Lewis, it was disclosed on last Tuesday that the "sudden death" reported last week was one of suicide. According to reports, the lifeless body of Miss Lewis was found by her maid in her room at the home of her father, 226 Upland road, Cambridge. A nervous breakdown has been given as the reason for the young lady's act. Miss Lewis, who was a graduate of the Cambridge High and Latin schools and Radelfife College, studied at the Sorboune, Paris. She was a teacher in the Cambridge High and Latin School at the time of her death.
The medical examiner who filed the death return refused to state the cause of death, saying "Her father requested me not to say anything about it." I told him I would not. I went to the Lewis house. The girl was dead."
The metropolitan dailies, however, attribute her death to hunging, and one paper in summing up conclusions: "A lonely life was ended when Elizabeth Lewis, parental under the very shadow of the insurmountable battlesmen of race, discovered that there was cold comfort in mere intellectual attainment for an eager, warm-hearted girl. Beautiful, high-spirited, fastidious, her fine mind broke under the strain."
Two years ago Miss Lewis graduated from Radcliffe with the summa cum laude distinction and was voted "the prettiest and most popular girl in her class."

DYING TAILOR IDENTIFIES MAN AS HIS ASSAILANT IN ROBBERY
Walter Yates Charged With Firing Four Shots Into Abdomen-Alleged Companion in Crime Not Yet Arrested
A white tailor was shot and mortally wounded Friday afternoon when two thieves held up his shop at 2080 Madison avenue. Max Weingard, 45, the victim, positively identified Walter Yates as the bandit who fired four bullets into his stomach while he refused to throw up his hands.
The prisoner was taken to Harlem Hospital, where Welinguard lay dying, and forced to kneel beside the tailor's bed. Welingard, aroused by stimulants, stared a moment full in the Negro's face, then sank back on his pillow, gasping:
"Yes, that's him."
Weingard, who is married and lives at 169 East 153th street, was alone in his shop when two men entered and asked to see samples. As he was displaying his warres one of the men yanked a revolver from his pocket and ordered the tailor to the back room. Weingard hesitated a moment and then based on the other man, who apparently was married. As he did so the man with the revolver fired. Neighbors groused by the shots.
found Welingard on the floor of his shop semi-conscious. He braced himself sufficiently to give a description and then lapsed into unconsciousness. Police of the East 126th Street Station surrounded the block. Yates was found in a doorway at 17 East 131st street, a short distance from the tailor shop. His companion could not be found.
Committee of 25 to Pick Koenig Opponent
Over thirty women supporting former State Deputy Attorney-General Gilbert in his "Koenig Must Go" campaign made plans to make a concentrated attack on the Republican county leader at a meeting held in the home of Mrs. John B. Milholland. 853 Seventh avenue, last week.
Abraham S. Gilbert, head of the most recent movement to oust Samuel S. Koenig as chairman of the New York County Republican Committee, said recently that a change has been made in the plans of those opposed to Mr. Koenig and that, instead of the announcement of a committee of 150 to conduct the anti-Koenig campaign, a subcommittee of 25 would be announced first. This subcommittee, Mr. Gilbert explained, will select a candidate for County Chairman to oppose Mr. Koenig in the contemplated primary next Fall. Announcement of the subcommittee is expected within a week. The full committee will be announced later.
"It has been thought better to mania a subcommittee first and agree upon a candidate for County Chairman," Mr. Gilbert said. "It is an old political truism that you can't hear somebody with nobody." In the early discussions of those opposed to Mr. Koenig's leadership it was suggested that a primary fight might be made against Mr. Koenig without selecting a candidate against him, as the County Chairman is not elected directly by the Republican voters, but by the members of the County Committee chosen by them. The suggestion at that time was that the selection of a candidate for County Chairman by the insurgents might be delayed until after the primary election to avoid a clash between members of different political elements opposed to Mr. Koenig's leadership.

New Offense Is That He Printed a Report of the Hearing Before the Court of Appeals
For printing without comment a report of the American Civil Liberties Union upon the hearing of his own appeal in the Court of Appeals at Philadelphia, Rothschild Francis, Virgin Islands editor and legislator, has been ordered to appear before the District Court at St. Thomas on a second charge of contempt of court.
The Civil Liberties Union report, sent to the Negro press of the country, declared that Francis was defended before the Philadelphia court on appeal from two sentences, one for criminal libel and the other for contempt of court. He was sentenced by George Washington Williams, district judge of the Islands, whose appointment Francis had opposed, for printing an article criticizing a native policeman.
The report declared that the
Federal Court at Philadelphia, upon reversing the conviction on the libel charge, scored Judge Williams for trying to use libel laws to regulate the press. It sustained the sentence of 30 days for contempt of court, a case which grew out of an editorial by Francis in his "Emancipator," charging that he had been "railroaded" in the libel case.
Upon receiving the summons to appear in Judge Williams' court on a contempt charge for printing the report, Francis immediately cabled the Union for alud. He was advised to plead not guilty and take appeal. The contempt proceedings are based especially upon the sentence in the report: "Friends of Francis maintain that the real reason for his sentence by the Virgin Islands court was his opposition to Williams' appointment as judge," which is characterized as a "scurrilous and libulous criticism of this court and the judge thereof." Steps are now being taken by Civil Liberties Union attorneys to appeal the original contempt of court sentence to the United States Supreme Court.
On a charge of robbery, a woman and two men were held, in $1,000

Sheppard-Towner Act and the Negro
The Sheppard-Towner Act was passed by Congress in 1921 as an attempt to solve a situation which concerns very closely the Negro race. The act was urged by women's and health organizations and intended by Congress to permit our National Government to aid work on behalf of mothers and babies. In 1920, the year before the act was passed, the maternal mortality rate in the United States was 8.0 per 1,000 live births, a rate higher than that for any other civilized country except Chile. That same year our infant mortality rate was 86 per 1,000 live births. In other alarms 20,000 mothers and about 200,000 babies were dying each year in this country, many of them from preventable causes. Bad as the rates were for all mothers and babies, they were worse for Negro mothers and babies. The Negro maternal mortality rate in 1920 was 12.8 and the infant mortality rate in that same year was 132.
Studies of the health of mothers and babies made by the Children's Bureau also indicated that, even more than white mothers and babies, the colored mother and her baby needed the utmost protection their Government could give them. The Children's Bureau studied 23,000 babies born in eight American cities during the years 1911-1916. About 1,500 of these babies were colored. In fact, only 100 were the white babies was 108, but the rate for the colored babies was 154. Moreover, it was found that colored rates were higher than white, particularly for deaths canned by conditions which may be changed.
For instance, almost three times as many colored babies died from epidemic diseases as white babies. About two and a half times as many colored babies as white babies died from respiratory diseases. Both these groups of diseases depend largely upon living conditions and can be caused by mothers and fathers in better methods of living and through public health measures by the community. It was also found that many more colored babies died from what are known as "diseases of early infancy." These diseases are usually due to lack of good care for the mother during pregnancy and confinement and the death from disease and will drop when mothers know how important it is to get good care before and during the birth of their babies.
It is evident, therefore, that the colored mother has at least as great an interest in the Sheppard-Tower Act as the white mother. The Children's Bureau, which has administered the act, is fully conscious of this interest on the part of the mother and of the necessity for doing special work among colored mothers and babies. A word or two about the provisions of the act will be perhaps helpful in understanding the kind of work that is done and the kind of work that cannot be done. The act appropriates not more than $240,000 a year of Federal money to be given to the States and to be matched by State money. The act aims at improving the health of mothers and babies. The act forbids, however, the giving of any money directly to mothers and in general restricts the

work that can be done to educational work. This educational work includes child health conferences, prenatal conferences, mothers' classes, little mothers' leagues, prenatal letters, mothers' correspondence courses and midwife classes, as well as lectures, talks, exhibits and motion pictures on health subjects. Forty-three States have accepted the provisions of the act and in all of them some or all of the activities mentioned are being carried on for the benefit of mothers of every nationality and race. There are one or two activities which are of interest to the Negro community, they concern problems which especially affect her race. One of these is the midwife situation.
The United States Census listed only about 5,000 midwives in the entire country. Through a questionnaire sent out to State boards of health the Children's Bureau discovered that in 30 States there were 26,000 midwives authorized to practice and about 20,000 more estimated to be practicing but not registered. It was found that midwives were most numerous and attended most births in the Southern States. In Alabama, for instance, one county three births was attended by a midwife. In Florida the proportion was even higher; in Louisiana and Mississippi nearly half the entire number of births in the State were attended by midwives.
Since such a large proportion of mothers have to depend upon the midwife for help during confinement, it has been considered an important part of the Sheppard-Towner Act in many of the States to study midwives, to find out what their qualifications were, and then to teach, supervise and license them. Dr. Ionia R. Whipner, a Negro physician on the staff of the Maternity and Infancy Division of the Children's Bureau, has co-operated in midwife demonstrations in several of the Southern States where many numbers of midwives were found definite campaigns to teach the midwives the elementary principles of safe care for mothers and babies have been undertaken. In a number of cases this work was done by Negro nurses.
The result of the work has been thus far to eliminate some of the oldest and least capable of the "gunnies" to them often call themselves, and to make quite marvelous changes in the cleanliness and practices of the younger women. Mrs. Emily W. Bennett, supervisor of midwives in the State of Virginia, writes a most interesting report of her work, which is quite typical of this type of work in the Southern States. Mrs. Bennett gives a composite picture of the 10,000 midwives in Virginia at the time midwife education was being most of whom were colored. She says that about 60 per cent of the

midwives are over 80 years of age, some over 90, and at least one claims to be 100. Only two of those attending midwife classes had ever had any experience, and were important of the simplest rudiments of surgical cleanliness; many and they were practicing because the "gift" had been passed on to them by their mothers, grandmothers, or by older midwives.

HOW FOODS CAUSE DISEASE
CHAPTER IX.
The average death rate at a young age shows that man is violating a biologic law. No biologic law fixes the life span of man from 45 to 55 years of age. If life is worth living, it is logical that we should endeavor to prolong it. But we should use natural rational methods when striving to increase the number of days. Some people, preferring the line of least resistance, strive to prolong their lives by irrational, unnatural methods. They resort to methods infimile to natural principles. Prolongation of life, if not accompanied by health and vigor, is a perversion. When natural methods are used to prolong life, when natural foods, natural air, natural sleep and moderate exercise are proceeded to, how we should increase the life span, for Nature then will take care of that, we having obeyed her laws.
Why should we think of age in terms of years—birthdays? No one knows how many years should go round before one dies of old age. The occurrence of death from natural causes is very rare. When one dies of old age we round to a century's mark, chance what constitutes old age is merely guess. But there is no doubt but that we are aging prematurely; therefore, something is fundamentally wrong. When we stop to consider that despite modern sanitation, medical attention, efforts of preventive medicine, actuary statistics shows that chronic diseases are on the increase, does it not occur to us that we are paying for our ultra-

When we behold the increase of cancer, heart disease, Bright's disease, apoplexy, etc., when we behold the increase of hospitals, sanitaria, we should say, "Let's put an end to the violation of the Laws of Nature, if we must attain health, vigor and longevity, by living closer to Nature, breathing her pure air, eating her whole natural foods, sleeping according to her dictates, exercising when she urges us, bathing in her waters, thinking only pleasant things."
Man being a bundle of habits, he is quick to acquire new ones when his environment affords the opportunity and he is prone to stick to old ones when they suit his taste. Habits and cravings are certainly very unreliable indices of true physiological requirements. Over-eating is another product of habits, which little persists to can change. But people who prefer to be made go-go-go and gluttonous than to become, with a little perseverance, temperate in their eating, which is the surest road to health. "Anything in excess is inimical

to nature," said Hippocrates. The average man who finds himself sick does not appeal to the simple laws of Nature, but prefers the line of least resistance, the mysterious, nauseating or stimulating drug, or bowel convulsing mineral products. If he gets temporary relief in some way by using these foods, it is satisfied and helps to his usual routine and goes on making himself sick again by his bad habits.
Man should return to simple natural foods, such as his ancestors ate, use his muscles more, and live more in the fresh air. He must cease to cultivate sickness and begin to cultivate health.
Mr. Alfred A. McCann has aptly said: "Civilization! May heaven help us to stop prating about civilization; to get out of the stifling air of smug superiority and snobish self-fliattery; out of the fool's paradise in which we have been glorying like blind bats in a sunless cavern." Who is not slick of the cant and grateful with which boast of our culture, our roses, our eruditions? Dead and dying children mock us crying "To hell with hypocrisy and self-deception."

Far-Famed Clef Club Ready for Gala Time Monday Night
Will Make an Effort to Surpass Everything Done in the Past Easter Monday Night
JUDGING from the great amount of interest being shown in the coming reception of the famous Clef Club, Easter Monday night will go down in the annals of the club's history as one of the biggest the club has ever known.
At this time not a single box or loge is left and all signs indicate that "the big parade" will be to Manhattan Casino on Monday night, where the jolly Clefties will hold forth in their sixteenth annual anniversary reception. For this occasion, Sam Patterson, the club's former president, who will conduct an orchestra of Cef. Club members, especially selected, promises to bring out some of the best inside that night that the finished artists of the club are capable of producing. And then the intimitable Fletcher Brouderon and his celebrated Rockland orchestra will also be on the job. Fletcher, too, has promised to strut his stuff in a manner that always gets his listeners. But that is not all that the Clefties are planning.
in between the dancing. Aubrey Brooks, president of the club and the chairman of the arrangement committee, has arranged to present a few high-class specialties direct from some of the most select places of entertainment on Broadway. From the proceeds of this affair which promises to be one of the most enjoyable of the usual high-class and highly enjoyable receptions, the club expects to expand so that it will be enabled to greatly decrease its usefulness. At present the most famous social musical institution in the United States, the club members intend to make the organization really live up to its enviable reputation. For these things may be looked for from the Cief Club from now on.

PRESENTED EXCLUSION Lincoln The
Dance Man" of George M. Cohan's theatrical comedy is a photoplay to look forward to -with pleasant anticipation. It plays at the Roosevelt Theatre Sunday and Monday. April 4-5.
About Things Theatrical
There have been many stories written centering around the colorful life behind the curtain, but nothing that combined the laughter and heart throbs, the pathos and humor, the romance and picturesqueness in such appealing fashion as this sentimental tale of a typical song and dance troupe. George M. Cohen wrote the story from personal, intimate knowledge.
ANOTHER instance of how fair the newspapers published by white people can be to Negroes was given last week when they recounted the story of how the stick-up men at a downtown cabaret were apprehended.
TWO colored girls in the revue at the cabaret were responsible for the capture of the white thieves, but the newspapers took particular pains to hide the fact that the young women are colored. Even that sheet which the late Theodore Roosevelt took occasion to liken unto something inspired from the muck of the gutter ran pictures of the girls, but said nothing of their being colored.
Renaissance Theatre Brings Back "The Ten Commandments"
HAD something "without the pale" occurred in which these young women were playing a part, all America would have known within twenty-four hours that they belonged to the colored race. Not by the longest stretch of the imagination, but by a well-qualified teller in every other word how they were members of this proscribed race, which can place most of the ills suffered to these same newspapers.
"The Ten Commandments," Cecil B. DeMille's masterful and famous production, will be the attraction at the Renaissance Theatre Thursday and Friday, April 1 and 2. This is the second picture requested by the patrons of the Renaissance Theatre. In bringing "The Ten Commandments" back to the Renaissance Theatre at this time, the management has shown excellent judgment as no more appropriate picture could be exhibited at this time of the year than the big, powerful Ten Commandments, which teaches such a wonderful story, based on the Bible. It is expected that a huge crowd will be on hand both nights for the revival of this picture, as was evidenced last week for the revival of "Over the Hill."
WE dare these newspapers to tell the world that sixteen expert motion picture operators of color are seeking justice in their own neighborhood by asking for a chance to work at their trade in those theatres where Negroes are daily and nightly "sitting in" to view pictures. We dare them to tell the world that these Negro operators are asking for a simple need of justice which would be theirs twenty-four hours after their plant did they happen to be members of another race and situated as they are here in Harlem.
ONLY craven Negro newspapers will fall to fall in line and join the fight for justice for these men who are prepared to give the same service in those booths. They all live, here, and it is natural for them to seek employment in their own community, especially when they are prepared to give service just as good and in some cases better than many of those alien people who earn their bread and butter from the dollars earned by the sweat from black brows-aye, these same people who upon returning to their own neighborhoods would refer to us as "nuggers."
For the week-end attraction, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, April 3, 4 and 5, Rudolph Valentino in "The Eagle" will be the feature. This picture gives the famous Rudolph a role that gives him the greatest possible scope as the world's most romantic lover. In "The Eagle," Valentino's latest production, we have a picture at once brilliant and suspendous yet readily understandable. Supported by Vilma Banky and Louise Dresser, the screen's ideal lover portrays one of his best parts. It is a picture that all will enjoy.
TEN or fifteen years ago managers of motion picture houses catering to Negroes in this section of the city could put forth the excuse that they would be jammed if they employed one Negro against the wishes of the white union, for they could not look to the race for relief, as we could not furnish the operators to take the place of the whites who would walk out upon a moment's notice. Today we are prepared to man every motion picture booth in Harlem. In spite of the many obstacles placed in their way, sixteen operators have passed the test and carry the cards from the city authorities which entitle them to man motion picture machines when employed.
The popular Sunday afternoon concerts continue to attract many each Sunday at 1 p. m.
"The Auction Block" at the New Douglas
A new version of Rex Beach's famous novel "The Auction Block" is coming to the New Doughns Theatre Sunday and Monday, April 4-5. Seven years ago this picture created a sensation with Ruhye Do Reiner in the leading role and now it is coming to the screen, with Eleanor Boardman as the leading lady. Hobart Hentley directed the modern version of this popular story.

One of the Big Features on Screen
Ali Rajah with his big mind reading act will play a date at the Franklin Theatre next week and it is safe to predict that genial All and his assistants will score big at the popular little house.
Also with this big act another all colored motion picture film with many popular stars led by Lawrence Chenault will be offered at the Franklin along with the appearance of the Prince.
Other big features will round out the program at Manager Eckert's theatre which are bound to carry a special appeal to lovers of the best in pictures and entertainment.
I. R. T. Employees' Dance
The colored employees of the Interborough Rapid Transit Co. are making preparations for their fifth annual trolic to be held at the Renaissance Casino Friday night, April 9th. The committee have secured Harold W. Clark and his Melody Club Orchestra to furnish the dance music and promise a wonderful evening of entertainment for those who are present.

Easter to Be Fittingly Celebrated at the Savoy
Connie's Inn Revue to Be
One of the Special Features at Harlem's Most Beautiful Resort
We believe that there are hundreds of people who would gladly join us in stating that the management of the Savoy balconies should not find it hard to rest on their laurels—laurels gained by what they have to offer at enticing prices in a place which is easily the most beautiful of its kind established here for the entertainment of colored people.
But they are not satisfied and we find these people offering special Easter attractions which should make the place the rendezvous for the most exacting. Connie's Inn Revue will be among the top-line attractions which will entertain during the holidays, and this alone should be a great inducement to lovers of this form of amusement to visit the Savoy.
Many colored people have not had the opportunity to see this revue in its own habitat, for few of the better class care to risk being elbowed aside by the whites patronizing the Inn and making it plain

Prince All Rajah, the Greatest Mind Reader—A Special Show for
Ladies Only, Saturday Morning, at 10 o'Clock,
WE believe that Mrs. Downs of the New Lincoln, Mr. Eckert of the Franklin, Mr. Kekelner of the Roosevelt and Douglas theatres will do these operators the justice of recognizing the fairness of their claims. The only hope of these men can be found in the communities thickly populated by their own people. White operators can go to any part of this broad united land and find employment. We are willing to wager that those Jews running the theatres on the East Side would not keep out their own in preference to Negroes. True, we have seen the great exception to the rule when a Negro acted as relief man in one or two theatres in white sections, but the first time the white operators concentrated on the house where this man was employed he had to go.
THE colored operators are not asking alms from the theatre owners in this neighborhood, but opportunity. We believe that Mrs. Downs years ago, would have set the example for all the others to follow, but the hands of this estimable lady were tied because we could not furnish even two men to man the machines at the Lincoln Theatre. Times have changed and, with all the credit in the world to these young men who have made the sacrifices and climbed the barriers, we can today offer sixteen names to the theatre owners from among which they can draw their help.
"IT seems to be a peculiar trick of fate," writes our Tasmanian friend, Pedro Miguel, "that those who boast the loudest of their accomplishments in your line in Negro journalism seldom, if ever, make any headway. I have in mind the hasty departure of a certain one from among you last week who wrote as if upon him rested the responsibility of changing the entire aspect overnight. He intimated that the Longshoremen's Union were seeking certain newspapermen who were entirely out of their sphere, and I am now wondering if, perchance, that brother will meander to the docks.
"PASSING strange," continues Pedro, "that this brother is so accomplished that ALL Negro newspaper owners in this country are too blind to appreciate what they are missing by not employing him. Seems to me that if added thousands of readers going to look because of the Negro newspaper, no only thing to do would be so unkind as to state that his calling and going did not even cause a ripple, for he showed his true self when in a review of the show at the Bellesac Theatre he intimated that he, and he only, knew such good French that only he, among all the colored writers, recognized that Lenore Urie did not speak French as she should be spoke.
"N all that gascous article on Mr. Belasco's show." continues the Tasmanian, "the most the gentleman accomplished was to use up two perfectly good columns of words which showed more plainly his desire to let us readers see how intelligent he is than the opinion we expected from one supposed to stand at the very top of his class. And let me tell you that the coming of 'Lauh Belle' has disclosed some mighty shallow minds among the gentry of which you have been one for nigh on to twenty years. I had to laugh when I read Mr. Calvin's reproduction of Mr. Belasco's letter in full. The thought which came to me and a thousand other thinkers led us to believe that Mr. Calvin simply wanted to show his readers that he (to is considered great. I am glad that you came to the fore with an explanation of Belasco's letter to you, for understand-stand with it. I understand that you have been a boarded. I believe each and every one of you received a set of books from him. In conclusion, I would like to remind the accomplished gentleman who gave thanks to one of his friends and naively attempted to appear modest when immodesty oozed all through his lines that if it is true that a number of newspapers are owned by waiters and waitresses it is no discredit to such owners. I ask you, which one of us was massa in the big house and came down with a silver spoon in his mouth."
TO which we reply amen. Pedro only comes to us once a month with his observations, and we are certain that our readers share our enjoyment of the things on which he sets forth his views from time to time. Twenty years as against less than twenty weeks by those who can tell you how they could have "made" Garvey and a host of others, but who remain unable to "make" themselves. Which reminds us that Heywood Brown and that brigade of high-class and high-paid columnists by high-sounding quotations. Latin phrases and innuendoes of their ability to speak foreign languages help to speak and whilte spirits and editorial writers seldom, if ever, tax the brain of their readers perfect in French or some of the other languages you had better not attempt to read her stuff about her journeys in foreign lands. Imagine it. The majority of whites are but parvenues, but even their great writers recognize that the masses understand plain language better, and here we have Aunt Dinah's children trying to step up with Mr. Eddie minus Mr. Eddie's background. Wow!
WHAT ho. Mirandy? You have been mighty silent since you dunned the soup and fish to offshillate at the Club Basha. Things are about the same in these diggings except that 135th street is again going through what Hubert H. Harrison once designated as "The Great Change." Yes, Seventh avenue saw many changes, too, for this is a world of change, and you can readily appreciate the fact that one must "carry on" with modesty in this calling, as one never knows when he may be able to do so. We note that Bill White and his man Friday Morcalde are hitting the avenue at least once a week as Defenders of Chicago's Bee. Once they were hees with Chicago's Defenders. Wot? Tra is in. They are not pulling chestnuts out of the fire. Ugh! Yeh, guess the Courier relegated Sylvester to that sphere from which they thought they would draw much from his junk which held good in the infancy of Negro journalism. Yussa, boss, Calvin got funny with the N. A. A. C. P, and first thing he did was to throw his stuff down and put up White's. Walter White of the N. A. A. C. P. Spring is here and the time is ripe for another publication. The Looking Glass was the last one with the lady postess whose poems the charmed circle will not allow to take their place along with Countee Cullen, Claude McKay and the others. Long, Mirandy. Since you been away the Jersey crashes, one from Newark and the other from Montclair, have had a time trying to bring the Elk Auditortory on a Saturday night, the day before you seek or did you ever seek the job? Somebody said you always crashed into the job. Laugh that off, old dear. The job always sought the dean. Who is looney now, and who, in your opinion, is considered most valuable, he who seeks the job or the one whom the job seeks? You are still a part-time sport writer, son.
that it is a place run almost exclusively for the entertainment of others than those in the neighborhood. The Savoy is being run for the entertainment of colored people until such time when they fail to come out in large enough numbers to warrant the management discontinuing the laudable policy with which they started.
Wilde's Great Drama at the Lincoln Theatre
"Lady Windermore's Fan," the Ernst Lubitsch production for Warner Bros. of Oscar Wilde's immortal dramatic classic, which is opening at the Lincoln Theatre on Thursday, is a flashing story of England's fashionable aristocracy. Although the play is over a quarter of a century old, it is no in step with modern thought that its clever plot and witty characters are perennially fresh.

ASKETBALL fans were given the real thrill of the

the wall and had to uncover everything they knew about
basketball to get away from the Catskills.
“These up-taters came here without the usual ringing
of belis and blowing of horns, and few realized they were

BROOKLYN PROTESTS
Militant Brooklyn Minister Leads Demonstration at Boro Hall Monday
Reverend Harten Makes Impromptu Speech and Even Whites Joined in Applause When He Cried Out for Justice in Case of Woman Brutally Beaten Without Cause
THE Rev. Thomas D. Harten, pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Franklin and DeKalb avenues, Brooklyn, led 300 Negroes to the Brooklyn Borough Hall Monday morning as a protest against lack of action in the complaint brought by Mrs. Estelle Benson against Policeman McAuliffe. The marchers carried banners and when ordered to disperse did so quickly.
The paraders marched around the Borough Hall several times, carrying banners to the effect that "We Want Justice" and "We Demand Action by the Authorities."
EIGHT
Monday's demonstration resulted from a mass meeting held last Sunday night at Dr. Harren's church to protest against an alleged brutal assault made by Policeman Thomas McAuliffe of the 37th precinct on Mrs. Estelle Benson of 1723 Dean street on March 4.
Mrs. Benson had to be attended by a doctor for black eyes and lacerations of the head.
Pastor Tries to Speak.
Dr. Harren attempted to speak from the steps of Borough Hall, but the police dispersed the crowd. The minister advised his paraders to obey the police and not attempt to protest.
The victim of the alleged assault was among the marchers. She was signalled out and a curious crowd gathered around her.
Dr. Harten, speaking in the center of the gathering, waving his hands, shouted: "This is an outrage. This policeman has not been tried for his crime and we can get no action in the matter in the District Attorney's office. Not long ago two colored men, one in Kentucky and the other in Colorado, were tried and convicted in less than 15 minutes for alleged assault of white women. Both were jailed immediately. Why shouldn't we have equal justice in this great city."
Many of the crowd applauded and the police were given another half-hour's work in dispersing the mob.
Mr. Wilber's case has been in the late Avenue Ministrates' Court and numerous adjournals have been taken. Dr. Hurten says his case has not, even reached the grand jury. The minister also added that his congregation will continue its protest under the direction of the National Equal Rights League with headquarters in Boston and this city.
A committee will carry the petition further is composed of Dr. Hurten, Dr. J. Adams, Rev. J. S. Brown, Thomas Mann, R. A. Austin, Dr. E. W. Willis, W. L. Esther, and Mrs. L. J. Johnson.
The protest meeting at the church Sunday night was addressed by Congressman Celler, who promised his assistance.
District Attorney Dodd said that he had received a letter Monday from Dr. Hurten in which the latter admits that the District Attorney has done everything possible to bring the case to trial.
"Several days ago," said District Attorney Dodd, "I listened to a colored delegation and, after explaining the reason for the delay, they went away satisfied."
Two adjournments have been requested by Lawrence J. McGoldrick, attorney for McAuliffe, who stated he was occupied as counsel for Harry W. Cowan in his trial before Judge Taylor.
Trained Chorus in Song Fest Here April 8
Negro spirituals are unique in the world of music. They are attracting and demanding attention of both artists and the public today as never before. The rhythm and melody of these songs carry a message to the deeper emotions of the human heart wherever sung throughout the world. They photograph the innermost feelings of a highly religious and musical people. Under the pressure of bondage the colored people produced these spirituals and no people can sing them so effectively as a group of trained colored singers. In addition to the spirituals, classics, folk songs, jubilees and hymn effects will be sung.
Few audiences in this part of our country have had opportunity to hear such a chorus, composed of 250 voices of the Carlton "Y" Community Chorus and Music Society, a department of the Colored Men's Branch of the Brooklyn and Queen's Y. M. C. A., under direction of R. Alwyne Austin, a music director of twenty years' experience. The program April $ is offered to the people of Greater New York as a contribution from a musical people. In addition to the choral singing, there will be an orchestral band of forty-five musicians and several well-known concert artists of excellent training. The Brooklyn public is assured of an enjoyable and profitable evening of entertainment.
The Carlton "T" Community Chorus and Music Society is a permanent musical organization. It seeks to bring together all music lovers of the colored people of Brooklyn and vicinity and is composed of both men and women, trained singers and musicians.
The Real Estate Board of New York calls attention of prospective applicants for real estate licenses to the fact that the State Tax Commission, through the License Bureau, administered by Deputy Commissioner F. S. McCaffrey, is about to require the examination of applicants not heretofore licenced before licenses are issued. Through an amendment of the law licensing real estate brokers and salesmen, effective May 1, 1924, the State Tax Commission was given wide latitude to determine the fitness of applicants, the amendment reading as follows:
"In determining competency, the State Tax Commission may require proof that the applicant has a fair knowledge of the English language, a fair understanding of the general purposes and general legal effect of deeds, mortgages, land contracts, of sale and leases, and a general and fair understanding of the obligations between principal and agent, as well as of the provision of this act." It is under this authority that the State Tax Commission has now completed its arrangements.
Houses Sold to Negroes Were "Not So Good'
Inspector James Coleman of the Queens Building Bureau, summoned before Supt. Moore, charged with neglect of duty in allowing "paper houses" to be erected at 1638 street and 71st avenue. Flushing, was waiting at the superintendent's office at 9 o'clock Friday morning. When the office was opened Coleman walked in and presented his resignation as an inspector. The hearing was cancelled and the resignation accepted. The "paper house scandal" arose recently when several Negro owners in the block began to notice strange movements in the walls and roofs. Moore had the houses inspected again and, he says, the inspector found the roofs and some of the walls constructed out of a compound of papier mache and asbestos.
Virgin Island Woman Buried After Short Illness
Miss Carolina Delloro, who came from the Virgin Islands not very long ago, was buried in Flushing Cemetery last Saturday afternoon from the Dade Unde-making Farms on Union Hall street, Jamaica. L. I.
Miss Delloro took sick with bronchial pneumonia a week previous to her death and, when rushed to the hospital after the disease had apparently gotten in its deadly work, she died twenty-four hours after.
The lady came to this country about the time the naval band of the Virgin Islands made a trip here, but returned to her home later. Some months ago she decided to train return here. She was making plans to go back to the islands to live when the grim hand of death fell heavily upon her and claimed her as one of the many victims falling prey to the rigors of a hard Winter.

Man Arrested at Belmont Park Race Track

March 29.—William Robinson, a laborer, employed by George Odon at the Belmont Park race track, was held without ball for the Grand Jury by Justice Jones at him stand on Sunday following a complaint by Patrolman Rade of Nassau police that, late Saturday night, at Elmont, Robinson fired five shots at him from a .38-calibre revolver with which the police claim Robinson had previously shot Robert Miller in the knuckle. Miller had told the police that he and a friend were about to enter the home of Zeke Hart on Plainfield avenue. Elmont, when Robinson followed them and, with a threat, fired. The bullet struck Miller's hand. A dog chased Robinson, who shot at the animal, but did not hit him. Miller went to a nearby police booth and reported the shooting.

Rade called Detectives McLaren and Faxen and Sergeant Yonchum from Mineola headquarters and, after a search, found Robinson in bed at the race track.

In itemizing the first deduction this dancer indicated certain amounts for eyelash tonic, golden wash, rouge, barrettes and hairpins.
"This return was audited," said Director Thomas M. Lynch of the State Income Tax Bureau, "will be subjected to scrutiny as to whether the taxpayer can substantiate by records the deductions which she claimed.
"Other amounts in her return included $800 for cleaning costumes, $200 for photos, $1,000 for stockings, $1,000 for song arrangements, $1,300 for advertising and $500 for ballet boots.
"There will be promptly disallowed the amounts which this artist tried to deduct for expense of a dancing coach and for singing instructions.
"It is true," concluded the director, "that the law permits professional persons to claim as a deduction the cost of supplies actually used, but these items do not extend to those of a personal nature. Doctors, dentists, lawyers and others in the professional ranks are allowed the expenses in the operation and repair of an automobile used professionally, their duties to professional societies and subscriptions to professional journals. Of course, they may also deduct rent paid for their offices and amounts expended for fuel, telephone and other proper expenses in connection with the maintenance of that office.
"Books, furniture and equipment of a permanent character are subject to proper depreciation deductions."

WALKER CONTESTANTS
CHANGE PLACES DAILY
With the coming of warm weather there is renewed activity among contestants in the four free trips to be given by the Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. in the trip around the world contest. The remarkable thing about the contest, according to Mr. Evans of the contest department, is that several contestants who heretofore were almost unknown, so far as the number of votes reported, are rapidly forging to the front. Leaders are changing places every day. Since the 15th of February, when the ten leaders were published, there has been a remarkable shift in the line-up and a number of changes made in the original ten.

At Home With the African Black
At Home With the African Black
Some Strange Things About Sundry Chiefs and Their Miscellaneous Wives, and the Weird and Mysterious Ethics of the Darkest Parts of the Tropical Jungle
By HENRI GALLAND
Administrator of the Colonies of French Equatorial Africa.
TRANSLATED BY MLLE. ANDREE PRATOUGY.
(Reprinted From the Dearborn Independent.)
I was then a newcomer in Africa. One evening I reached a village, the chief of which had fifteen wives for himself alone. He was an old fellow, his upper incisive teeth had been pulled out according to the tribal custom; he had oily hair, in the midst of which parrot feathers stood out, a thin beard braided into a kind of twisted fringe and adorned with glass beads; in short, an aged man, dirty and ragged, if the piece of cotton material that girt his hips could deserve the name of rag.
He said to me, squatting on his heels in the front of my tent I had just pitched, after the usual greetings:
"You know, from your paper in which you write down their list, that I have fifteen wives. As I heard that the poll-tax on wives is going to be increased, I intend to dismiss some of them whose names will be blotted out from your books. Those wives are no use to me, and I mean to pay for them no longer. I also want you to help me to get back the dower I paid for them, us I foresee I shall have troubles with their families."
"Lions, as your first mother-in-law old?"
"Hurder still."
And the old man, drawing a huge whiff from his earthen pipe, almost as ancient as himself and as sensed as his wrinkled face, muddled for awhile, then added, with a resilish look: "Tell me, do not whistle men, when their clothes are
To begin with, you must not be surprised in hearing that a chief can have fifteen wives. I knew another one who had three hundred of them! His name, if I must mention it, was "Gantianion," the great chief of the tribe of the Moundains among whom I lived and who dwell about four hundred miles south of the Tehad Lake. This, doubtless, is rather exceptional; yet many motives possess two or three wives. Let us come back to my old chief. I saw at once I had there an opportunity to get useful information about the family life of the African blacks, and I tried to make my man talk.
"What!" I said to him, "you want to dismiss several of your wives—they you don't care for them, do you? We white people have only one wife; we love her very much and we keep her all our life long."
"PIT!" he exclaimed contemptiously, cracking his fingers. "The Nizamil (God) created the white men, and then the black men. Our skins are different, so are our customs. From your brothers, who came here before you I have gathered some knowledge of your customs.
"When my father was still alive I knew I should succeed him one day. Now, to be a chief like himself, I was well aware I should have to be rich and among the Blacks, as you may not know, the more wives one has the richer one is and, consequently, the more esteemed and respected one is. Thus it was I began to make up the dowry of my first wife. I have heard that with the white people it is the bride who pays it. Is it so?"
"A queer custom, which I can hardly understand—yet I don't care. Once more, our customs are different, the Nzambi has willied it so. Well, the making of that dower was, by no means, an easy job. From the very beginning my future mother-in-law haggled over it and picked a quarrel with me. Didn't she claim the right (to refuse a pig because one of its legs was wistied, and a kidding because it was one-cyed) She died long ago, my mother-in-law, and her spirit let me alone, owing to the mary libations of palmwine I offered on her grave. Besides, why was she so fastidious about it, since her daughter was not, no more than herself, perfect in body?" "Then you didn't try, when you could do so, to get a fine, well-built girl?"
"Why should I have? This may be the custom with white men, but what we black men look for is a stout and portly woman, knowing how to till the land and how to cook and able to give us children, which is another source of wealth!"
"In my turn, old chief, I will say to you: a queer custom! But tell me, why on earth are you beat upon dismissing several of your wives."
"I have been intending to do so for a long time. First of all, they are too old and cannot any longer help me for my plantations, which are not a few.
"Now, I repeat it to you, children, daughter especially, are a source of income. My daughters—they are six in number—will find husbands and I shall require for them the paying of a considerable dower, for it is not anybody who can marry a chief's daughter."

fons, as your first mother-in-law old."
"Hurder still."
And the old man, drawing a hugo whiff from his earthen pipe, almost as ancient as himself and as sensed as his wringed face, modulated for awhile, then audited, with a regalish look. "Tell me, do not whites men, when their clothes are worn out or if them no longer, give the clothes up or change them."
"Of course, they do, but why such a question?"
"Well, he went on. "with us when a woman is too old or does not suit us any longer, we treat her as white men do old clothes; we get rid of her or we change her too another that's all."
And the man burst out laughing as only a black man can laugh, which took hold of the lookers-on, who clapped their hands at the rejoinder of the old fellow. I could not help laughing, too, both at the rejoinder and the hearty laughter, which reached into the near forest and scared, away a troop of birds perched at the top of some gigantic tree. Pleaseed with his success, the chief was in the high humor for talking. I went on with my questions.
"You mentioned as a part of the dower of your first wife a crippled pig and a one-eyed kidding that your sympathetic mother-in-law was reluctant to accept. Did you give only those two animals as a

dowry? I thought you used to give much more?”
"We do. To those two animals I added many others. Two more pigs, three kiddlings, a gun, two boxes of gunpowder, ten sacks of salt, 15 pieces of cloth, two blackbanks and three pots. I have kept the reckoning or all that. Only, as I cannot put down words on paper like the white men who must do so because they have no memory, I have a way quite as good as theirs and less palishable. I have, for every one of my wives, a small bundle of short sticks; each stick represents one of the objects I brought as a dower."
And the old chief having beckoned to him one of his sons fetched from his hut several bundles carefully tled.
"You se," he said to me, "here is the bundle that represents the dower of my first wife, Koulou-lissa."
And he counted: "Ten sticks for the sacks of salt, 15 for the pieces of cloth, one for the gun, et cetera." The sum was right. The old man had an unerring memory. "You see," he added, "one must keep one's account with the utmost care if one does not want, at the moment of the divorce, to have worries and troubles with the family, always ready to quarrel over the paying back of the dower. Besides I have witnesses who will assert that the sticks of these three bundles really correspond to the objects that made up the dower of the three wives I want to get rid of." But, "I retorted. "You mean to dismiss those wives who you certainly found to your liker when you married them and who were glad to become yours, don't say."
"Another one of those mistresses of the white men! But we do not bother about the opinion of the girl. Why should we? We must associate directly with the family, who cannot be anything but proud to give their daughter to a chief, above all to a chief such as I must have been then, powerful and wealthy."
"That is all right for a future chief; but how do your men manage, those who do not readily possess the things which must make up the dower?" (Continued on Page 12.)

"Before the birth of my little girl," says Mrs. Lena Stancil, of R. F. D. 2, Matthews, Mo., "I was so weak in my back and sides I could not go about. I was too weak to stand up or do any work. I felt like my back was coming in two. I lost weight. I didn't eat anything much and was so restless I couldn't sleep nights. "My mother used to take CARDUI

Charles E. King, Deceased, Filled Unique Place With Advertising Firm
Charles E. King, who was born on Sept. 11, 1875, in New York City, and died on March 5, 1926, left vacant a place with one of the leading advertising agencies in the country. During his early life he studied law at the New York University and later undo Charles E. Brooks, the noted

criminal lawyer. He later held the position of United States Marshal. He, was associated for the past fifteen years with George Batten Company in the capacity of reception clerk.
The story begins, and now it is of no surprise that it be true or not, that some years ago, at a luncheon of advertising men, the talk steered to a discussion of whom might be the best known man in the advertising business.
Various candidates were proposed for the honor within it securing the unanimous support of those present. Finally a man at the end of the table spoke up and said: "You are all wrong. The best known man in the advertising business is Charles King." And there was no dissenting voice.

It was more than diplomacy, for there are many diplomatic reception clerks in the advertising business. It was more than tact, because tactfulness is quite a general gift. It was not gossip—for Charles King never gossiped. When occasion demanded no one would be by himself, by the direct word of what might be, any information
for Charles King, who for fifteen years sat behind the desk in the lobby of George Batten Company, was known to thousands of advertising men throughout the country. And Charles King knew, each, and every one of them. It is said that he never forgot a name or a face, and would come into the offices of George Batten Company who had not been there in five years. If Charles King had seen him before, that man's name, his business and generally the nature of his call would be recalled. And, as is so often the case, a man who is accepted almost as a part of the very nature of things in any organization is suddenly realized to have become well nigh an institution. Certainly, Charles King helped to organize the organization of George Batten Company, but in the advertising business—which was unnone.
He held with dignity, capability and fact a post which is reputed, among those who know the adversary, to have been immensely valuable one to fill capably for any length of time. He held it, and made it more

He leaves wife Alice, Estelle Livingston King, and seven children, five sons and two daughters, the oldest of whom, a young man of nineteen, is following his father's footsteps, being employed in the offices of the American Weekly.
In passing, this kindly, able and self-respecting man has left many close personal friends and hundreds of acquaintances throughout the advertising business who will remember him as one who did his work quietly, unassuringly and with rare discernment of its difficulties.

By CLEVELAND G. ALLEN
The historic St. Mark's M. E. Church began a new era last Thursday evening, when its 49th annual reunion was held in the new edifice in course of erection at 135th street and St. Nicholas avenue. The reunion is the crowning social event in the life of the church when the entire membership and its friends reunite and renew friendships. Rev. Dr. John W. Robinson, pastor of the church, who since coming here from Chicago has made a noted record as pastor and leader of men, heard his work praised by fellow pastors and members of St. Mark's. A large audience was present, and the grand march, which was inaugurated by the late Dr. W. H. Brooks, was received by Dr. Robinson, and held for the first many years. The annual reunion was under the direction of Benjamin F. Thomas. The program was a splendid one, and brought together a group of excellent talent.
Rev. Richard N. pastor of Bethel A was the toastmaster which followed. Those who made Dr. Dr. A. C. Grace Congregatic "The Ministerial A Carthay of A Church" spelled out Mark's." Rev. Dr. pastor of Bethel A responded to the "Prof. Nelson Will "Our Young People N. C. Coggins, per M. E. Church, spoke as a Leader." R Simms, pastor of Church, on "Mills and Rev. W. L. J. James Presbyterian for the first many years. The annual reunion was under the direction of Benjamin F. Thomas. The program was a splendid one, and brought together a group of excellent talent.

MEANINGLESS EASTER
IF ALL the white people who will read or hear the words, "Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men," on Easter Sunday morning embraced the doctrine and permitted it to play a part in their daily lives, what a glorious world this would be by next Easter.
PARTICULARLY in the United States, where Christianity is supposed to be well entrenched in the hearts and minds of most of the races composing it, would a phenomenal change be almost instantly noticeable. No more of lynching and murder; no more of oppression and discrimination; no more lying, stealing and robbing; no more North, no more South; no more talk of inferior and superior races; no more bitter feeling between Jew and Christian, Negro and Caucasian.
BUT, ALAS! White America has deserted Christ, except in name.
Harvard's New Policy
Harvard's New Policy
WITHOUT CHANGING its traditional policy of admitting students without regard to race, creed or color, Harvard University has announced its new requirements for admission to the freshman class next September. The new requirements, among other things, will lay more emphasis on personality and character and demand that each applicant submit his photograph when making application.
WHEN PHOTOGRAPHS are required of applicants for admission to schools by civil service commissions, or by private enterprises, it always arouses the suspicions of Negroes, who fear that it is part of a policy of debarring persons of color. Consequently, the incorporation of this requirement in the new Harvard conditions for admission may be viewed with suspicion. However well founded these suspicions may have been in all too many past instances in the past, it need not cause undue alarm in the case of Harvard University.
TO BEGIN WITH, Harvard, in the past, has known the race of its Negro applicants for admission; or it could have ascertained it by carefully checking over the student's record in preparatory institutions. Most of her Negro students have come from the South, the public, church and private schools of which are separate for whites and Negroes; and since the schools the appli-
cant has attended are mentioned in his application, his racial identity could not very well be concealed. Next, we believe that if Harvard did not want to enroll Negro students it would have nerve enough to say so in plain language.
FACED with a larger enrollment than it can properly take care of, both physically and pedagogically, it is natural that this famous institution should seek to limit its freshman classes and at the same time raise the standard of its students by showing a preference for students of personality and character. Such a standard should not debar Negro students and, on the other hand, may actually increase the Negro enrollment.
Courageous Al Smith
WHILE MAYOR WALKER is on his second good-will tour through Dixie, in the interests of Governor Smith's candidacy for the Presidency in 1928, the latter has on his desk a bill introduced by Assemblyman Grenthal, of the 19th Assembly District, and passed last week by the Legislature, to provide for a new Municipal Court District in the present Seventh District. The Grenthal Bill is somewhat similar to that introduced by ex-Assemblyman Pope Billups one year ago, passed by the Legislature, and vetoed by Governor Smith.
MINORITY LEADER BLOCK has already given assurance that the Governor will "have courage enough to veto the Grenthal Bill, also." Why? For the same reason that he vetoed the Billups Bill.
THE SEVENTH DISTRICT happens to be the one in which the majority of Negroes in Harlem live, and the new district, if created, would probably have a majority of Negro voters who, should they see fit, would be able to elect a Negro to the justiceship. This Negro Justice, if elected, would not necessarily be a Republican. He might be like Smith and Walker, a Tammany Democrat, or even a Socialist. But he would be a Negro, and that is all that the Governor needs to know to veto the present bill, same as he did the Billups Bill.
MEANWHILE, the Seventh Municipal Court will continue to be crowded to the point where it is impossible for it to function efficiently. Meanwhile, Mayor Walker will continue to neglect the duties of his office to further the interests of his Tammany chief down in Dixie. Meanwhile, Negro Democrats will continue to extol the virtues of Tammany Hall.
TWO YOUNG NEGRO WOMEN and two white patrolmen threw a monkey wrench into a $300,000 robbery in the Owl Club, early last Tuesday morning, and the white press almost forgot to state that the two girls were Negroes at all. The daily press rarely fails to omit this information when reporting crimes in which Negroes play a part: so why do so when reporting praiseworthy deeds?
Expressed by Our Contemporaries
Scott for President
(From the Afro-American.)
We are not among those who hold that because all white universities have white presidents, therefore all colored universities should have colored presidents. We favor mixed pupils and mixed teachers in all schools where the people are sufficiently civilized to recognize the value and importance of universal contact between races, nationalities, sexes and creeds. Still, we favor some colored universities having colored presidents, just as we would not advocate that all white universities should have only colored presidents. The principles of self-government must be extended to every position of responsibility and power. We have now

THAT the Negro minister lacks in the education that belongs to the Negro lawyer and doctor is known to all, but the extent of his deficiencies is brought out fully in this book. Half of the volume is an appendix describing in detail the fifty-two departments and schools of theology for Negroes in the United States. The other half gives something of the educational systems and of the reactions of the students. It is rather dull reading, the material being presented in the form of a thesis.
General Hertzog's Segregation of Natives in South Africa Explained
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received from England a clipping quoting the "Round Table" in explanation of the segregation policy inaugurated by General Hertzog against the natives of South Africa. The "Round Table" says in part:
"General Hertzog's policy of segregation, as expounded in general terms, was that areas should be set apart as native areas in which the native should live and 'develop along his own lines.' He would have in these areas a gradually increasing amount of responsibility for the administration of his local affairs, and he would be subject to no restrictions as to what occupation he might follow. If, however, he chose to come to work in European areas, he would be prohibited from acquiring land, and would be subject to restrictions in regard to industrial occupations intended to debar him from competing with the white man in skilled and semi-skilled work. . .
"So much for the territorial and industrial side of the policy. Politically it involves the exclusion of the native from the parliamentary and every franchise throughout the Union. Whether native voters who are at present on the roll in Cape Province are to be removed, or whether the exclusion is to apply only to new applicants is not clear. As compensation for this, natives throughout the Union are to be allowed to elect seven members to the Union House of Assembly—one in the Orange Free State and two in each of the other provinces.
"These seven, who are to be Europeans, are to have exactly the same rights and privileges as other members of the House,
reached the place where we have the man for the place and the place for the man.
We refer to Howard University and Dr. Emmett J. Scott. Dr. Durkee, the president now serving, has tendered his resignation. He will go to the pastorate of Plymouth Couregregational Church in Brooklyn—the church once pastored by the lamented Houry Ward Beecher, father of Harriet Beecher Stowe. Howard, like Fisk, Union, Shaw, Lincoln and Hampton, has always had white presidents. It was held, therefore, that there were no colored men fitted for the place. Kelly Miller was frequently proposed, but lacked the executive ability, even though he was a good scholar and had a long acquaintance with Howard. In the case of Dr. Scott, no such claims can be sustained. He was long the secretary to Booker T. Washington, which meant substantially that he ran Tuskegee Institute. (Secretaries usually do their employers' work.) Since leaving Tuskegee he has been secretary-treasurer of Howard University. This means that he not only has had executive work, but has had to do that particular kind of work at Howard University. In other words, he is acquainted with the particular job for which we are urging him. We know him personally as a man of civic and moral worth, of splendid educational ideals, of rare administrative capacity, of precise and accurate temperament, of a poise, diplomacy and tact which would make him fit admirably into the school life of a university and the social life of Washington, D. C.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Credit Firm Employs Negroes
In my reading of this week's issue of The Amsterdam News I came across the attached article concerning the progress of a colored employee of a clothing company.
The reading matter contains a spirit of progress and betterment for colored men, to which I note your publication has applied its efforts most assiduously. In connection with your phrase: "It is a pleasure to drive the attention of colored people to those places willing to give us a Square Deal" I would submit the following information:
Our company was established in 1950, and commencing with its inception we catered to the requirements of the colored folks. Originally, we commenced with the selling of men's and ladies' clothing only, and when the writer took over the management of affairs some five years ago, it was decided to specialize in the handling of the credit requirements of the colored people.
With this end in view, we have taken on the foli-
There are a very few good, well equipped Negro theological schools. But the most are theological departments of colored colleges. And "although the theological departments are improving, they are considered the tag ends of the institution." To quote further: "There is a slavish chapter and page adherence to the textbook on the part of both teacher and student. The textbooks are often of denominational significance rather than of educational value and too frequently are old editions. Much of the teaching is far removed from anything vital or practical." There seems to be a strong feeling that since there is such a dearth of candidates for education in the ministry the bars should be let down and anyone possible should be permitted to enter. Take the theological department of Selma University, Selma, Ala., the page I happen to open to. Fifty-one students are enrolled. Of this number one is of college grade, 20 of high school rank and 30 are in the grammar grades. Twenty-four of this number are now pastors.
Why is the grading for ministers so low? Evidently because the feeling among the Negroes is still common that not education, but "a call." is needed for the man of God, "Go and preach the Gospel" is of more importance than knowledge of the Gospels themselves.
Mr. Daniel's little book is very painstaking. He indulges in no generalizations and the recommendations that he makes are carefully conservative.
"FLIGHT" PUBLICATION
DATE SET FOR APRIL
Alfred A. Knopf, publisher, announces that April 9 has been set as the publication date for "Flight," the second novel of Walter White. The novel deals with a young colored woman of light enough color to be able to pass in New York City for a white woman.
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
Dear Sir:
---
lowing lines of merchandise, and I am proud to say, with exceptional success: Silk underwear, drygoods, furniture, rugs, jewelry, furs, household goods, and of course, a most complete line of fine men's, ladies' and children's clothing.
In addition to this step of progress, it was decided to employ colored men to carry on the very responsible and important work of both collecting and selling. At the present time, I am pleased to announce that there are over fifty colored representatives who are handling our lines of merchandise. They are entrusted with thousands of dollars' worth of silk underwear, men's shirts and such household articles as bolster sets, sheets and pillow cases, portieres, drapes, curtains and scarfs. We also have six colored men who handle the very responsible and important work of collecting on our accounts.
Three colored men are members of our administration department and are assisting in the general administration of the business of our organization.
At the present time we are the largest downtown credit establishment specializing in Harlem trade, and we have close to five thousand accounts with whom we do business. All our merchandise is absolutely guaranteed and we handle nothing but the very host. The highest type of business principles have been inculcated in the minds of all our colored employees, and a spirit of complete co-operation has been effected to the extent where we have a most progressive institution virtually directed and assisted in all its efforts by the highest type of colored citizens.
It may in truth be said that the Irwin Company, of 52 East Broadway, is an organization of the colored people, for the colored people and by the colored people. Among the steps of progress is the consumption of a plan whereby the profits of the company will be distributed among those colored employees who have given faithful service over a period of time. We are working on a plan which will enable them to purchase an interest in the organization and become shareholders.
We are directing the efforts of our organization with the sole thought and idea of giving the colored man a fair and square opportunity; such as to give him an equal chance for success as that given any other race.
We have among our accounts the finest and best types of colored men, who have been doing business with us for years; and realizing their faith and loyalty, we are attempting to show our appreciation by employing men of the same race, and permitting them to share the large responsibilities of directing the organization with the ultimate goal of their becoming corporate members of our institution.
With the above facts, I believe you should be interested in telling the readers of The Amsterdam News of our organization. I should be pleased to hear from you with regard to this matter, and thank you.
Dallas in Pageant
PRESENTS Redeemer:
DALLA, Tex., March 30:
"Redemption," a historical musical extravaganza, was given before a crowd of 3,000 people, of whom there were at least 800 whites, at the Fair Park Auditorium Tuesday night.
A cast of 200 took part in the presentation of the pageant, which traced the five greatest redeemers of the country through five periods of history, as outlined by the author, J. Berni Barbour, a composer, pianist and playwright of New York City. These redeemers were Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Booker T. Washington, the educator, and Crispus Attucks, martyr of the Revolutionary War.
The play was given under the personal supervision and direction of the author. The proceeds from the extravaganza were donated toward the building of a home for Negro working girls in Dallas.
except that they will not be allowed to take part in any discussion on the question of native representation. The colored man, on the other hand—that is, the man of mixed race and the Cape Malays and those descended from that stock—will be treated, as regards political and other rights, on the same footing as Europeans. . . . Whatever may be thought of these proposals—and they are open to criticism from more than one point of view—it cannot be denied that they mark an epoch in the history of the native question in South Africa."

"Opportunity" Award Dinner May
According to an announcement in the April issue of "Opportunity; Journal of Negro Life," published by National Urban League, 127 East 23rd street, New York City, the awards in "Opportunity's" $1,000 Literary Prize Contest will be made at a dinner on May 1, 1926, at the Fifth Avenue Restaurant, 200 Fifth avenue, New York City.
Last year the "Opportunity" dinner did a great deal to bring together for the first time a meeting between the best of the younger Negro writers and some of the most distinguished white editors, publishers, critics and writers.
Among other things the April "Opportunity" contains a chapter from Louis Charbonneau's forthcoming novel of African life; an Easter tale by John P. Matheus, whose "Fog" last year won the $100 prize offered by "Opportunity" for the best short story by a Negro writer; the editor's review of "Lulu Belle," the Negro play which is at the moment one of the dramatic sensations of New York; a paper on Negro health by Frederick L. Hoffman, the chief statistician of the Prudential Life Insurance Company, besides a wealth of poetry, essays, and book reviews of immense interest.
BELLEVUE HOSPITAL
HEAD DINNER SPEAKER
Dr. John L. McGrath, president of the board of trustees of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals, was the principal speaker before the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Urban League at a luncheon Thursday in the Dining Car Walters' restaurant.
A letter of condolence was voted to be sent to James Hubert, executive secretary of the local Urban League, whose father died several dars ago.

Easter Morning
LET every living being arise
And fill with song fair April's skies!
Let sweetest songs of joy and gratitude
Thrill e'en the desert's solitude!
Let ev'ry heart be glad!
For, lo, all living nature celebrates
Life's victory o'er death and sin;
And divine love His power demonstrates.
By bringing wondrous hope to men.
In lovely lilies clad!
When flowers sprang around the broken tomb
On Love's great resurrection.
Earth trembled as her hope from darkest gloom
Out of the heart of God was born:
This was the birth of Spring.
Forgotten, Calvary's bitterest pain,
Death's sting, the triumph of the grave;
Exulting in Truth crowned in life again.
Christ smiled to those He died to save---
And made us each a king!
"I shall return," this day renews this pledge
To every love-filled human heart;
And 'though we stood upon Time's crumbling edge,
Or like the flowers depart,
When gloomy death appears.
being consumed by us as a group. How we get these is not the question. The point is whiskey and gin in large amounts are being consumed by Negroes as a group. This is causing gastric and intestinal disease, mental and nervous disturbances.
Negroes are supposed to have good teeth. Probably they did during slavery days, but in these later days, bad, syphilitic, and decayed teeth are prevalent among Nogro school children. The first teeth are not given as much care as they should. This is causing defects in the permanent set. The tooth brush should be used every day. Cleanliness of hands, face and body is a prerequisite for healthy growth. In overcrowded flats with boarders and roomers, the bath is not taken as often as it should. The skin is one of the tissues through which bodily poisons are eliminated. The skin glands should therefore be kept serpulously clean in order that their function of elimination be normally performed. The American institution of the weekly bath is not enough. Children should take a bath every day.
Bodily and mental rest are needed. Children should sleep between eight and nine hours each day. Adults should have at least seven to eight hours. Windows should be open and no more than two persons sleeping in one room and one bed. In this way the proper proportion of oxygen is inhaled and contagious respiratory diseases and other contagion are avoided. Recreation and play are needed by both children and adults. They act as a tonic to the spirit. Play and recreation should be in healthy surroundings and properly taken.
Illing is not recreation. Illing is dangerous. It rules both the mind and body. Play and recreation properly directed develop both mind and body. Reading, a quiet card game with your friends, a dance now and then; physical exercises at a gymnasium or at the "Y"; pleasant and profitable conversation with people who think; a lecture, a musical recital, or the theatre are the means by which profitable play and recreation may be obtained.
