Is This the Negro?
HOLLISTER NOBLE
(white), noted journalist, recently depicted Negro life as it appeared to him in the rhythm and meter of song and chord, spiritual and secular, the exudation, as it were, of overflowing Negro sentiments, of both joy and sorrow. Says Noble: "The Negro celebrates all things in song. Their music has a color, a flavor, a richness of its own which' has been wrong from the sweat of construction crews and chain gangs. Some of them are the product of painful improvement, hard labor, and crushing conditions of existence. Others shout simple joys and homely blessings."
That, as Hollister Noble says, Negro music has put a spell upon America is a potent truth. True Negro music is eagerly absorbed by American people the country over, regardless of station in life or degree of culture. Why, why, however, is it that Negro songs, with their background of sorrow, are such a delicate diversion? Is it because of woe; or the rhythm and natural harmony? Is it the song or the race that America praises? Is this musically depicted race the true race, as America would have it remain?
We think not so. For our proof we turn to Hayes, Harrison, White, Houlais, Briton and their musical contemporaries, who render and interpret Beethoven and Bach as faithfully as do the artists of the German, the Italian or the American schools of music, Marlan Anderson songs as sweetly and as soulfully Stainer's "Crucifixion" as does Anna Case or Frieda Hempel. The man and the woman, not the race, are at bar today where honors wield their pens of logic.
The chain gangs and the levees as builders of musical soul throbs are gone forever. The soul of the man speaks today in a new sphere and because of new strains of mental structure. Just as much as the world gives the Negro, just so much will his soul yield back to the call of justice. It is an error to try today to build a race out of the burdens of yeaterday. Witchcraft is gone; so is the "soft laugh of Southern nights and the chatter of pickin'ninnies and cotton pickers" so gloriously described by Mr. Noble.
To Him Who Waits
ASOUTHERN prospector,
whose eyes are centered
upon the money bag first
and the weakness of men
last, sees no ill in the past
decade's migration of one
million Negroes into the
Northland. In his opinion,
the scattering of Negroes
over all parts of the country
will prove to be the best
thing for them, for the country,
and, above all, for the
South, homeopathically speaking.
In another breath, the
prospector calls attention to
the rejuvenation of the Southland, her cotton, her steel,
her vast agricultural
resources, and the new pledge
of the new South that brains

Early Easter Morning Blaze Ignited by Firebug Under Stairs of Apartment at No. 6 Bradhurst Avenue
A mother and her baby and two children were burned to death in a suspicious fire Sunday morning that destroyed the interior of the five-story apartment house at 6 Bradhurst avenue, near 142nd street. Investigation of the blaze by the police and the Fire Marshal showed that it had been ignited beneath the stairs of the public hall on the first floor. The fire was discovered at 2 a.m. Another fire several hours later in a tenement house at 314 West 127th street, where the members of an entire family, and a policeman were hurt in efforts to escape to the street, had a similar origin. The similarity of these two fires to a series of recent blazes in crowded tenements in the district on Saturday and Sunday morning caused a renewed search for suspected incendiaries.
The dead, all of whom were burned in the top floor apartment, were Mrs. Julia Brown, 20 years old, and her infant, Ruth, a year old; Edwin Moore, 13 years old, and Bertha Robinson, 14 years old. It was reported that Allen Brown, the dead woman's husband, was missing, but no other bodies were found in the ruins after the fire had been extinguished. William Moore and his wife, who occupied part of the apartment with the Brown's, were away at the time of the fire. They identified the bodies at the West 135th street station.
It was found that a heavy bed and a trunk had blocked the path of the victims to a fire escape. The Robinson girl, who was a guest of the Brown's, was the daughter of a neighboring family, who got our safely. Most of the other sixteen tenants in the building fled from their rooms through the burning halls and stairs to the roof, to safety in adjoining houses. Policemen and firemen rescued others from windows on the lower floors.
All of the tenants lost practically all their personal effects and household furnishings. When Deputy Clerk "Smoky Joe" Martin arrived with additional firemen on a second alarm the apartment house was ablaze from top to bottom.
A chauffeur and Policeman John Cook of the West 123d street station awakened tenants at 4:30 a.m. in the tenement at 314 West 127th street. Here, too, the flames quickly blocked escape by way of the stairs. After Cook, Policeman Patrick Murphy and firemen had helped most of the tenants to the roots of adjoining structures. Cook worked his way down to the second floor and found a woman with an infant in her arms homed in by fire. Cook took the child, wrapped it in his coat and got out of a rear window of the hall, telling the woman to follow. The policeman,
with the child in one arm, then dropped twenty feet to the rear yard. Before he could recover himself and aid the woman. Mrs. Pedro Rodriguez, jumped, breaking her foot and suffering other injuries. Her husband, who had tried to assist her, was thrown over the edge of a fire-escape when she leaped from his grasp. His arm was broken in the fall to the yard. The policeman and the others were attended at the Harlem Hospital.
Break Ground for Masonic Temple
Building to Be Erected at Cost of $440,000 on Seventh Avenue
Ground was broken Sunday afternoon at Seventh avenue and 144th street for the Prince Hall Masonic Temple. to be erected by the Prince Hall Lodge of Masons at an estimated cost of $440,000. The ground-breaking was preceded by a parade of members of the lodge from Eighth avenue and 155th street, the marchers being headed by the band of Monarch Lodge of Elks.
A large crowd watched the ceremony and listened to speeches and music. Before lifting the first spadeful of earth, the Rev. Charles D. Martin, pastor of the Fourth Moravian Church, produced a small bottle containing water he brought last year from the River Jordan. The clergyman poured this water on the blade of the spade.
Speakers included Joseph Sullivan, Grand Master of Prince Hall Lodge; Edward T. Sherwood, Jr., Deputy Grand Master; Arthur A. Schonburg, Grand Secretary, and Louis A. Joppe, Arthur W. Handy was master of ceremonies.
The building is to be a seventy fireproof structure. Excavating will get under way today and the cornerstone will be laid May 30.
Dancer Arrested in Owl Club Raid
Friend of Two Girls Who Thwarted Robbery Few Days Ago
More than 100 white patrons of the Owl Club, a cabaret located at 125 West 45th street, were forced to leave early Monday, when the club was invaded by police of the West 47th Street Station and the indanger, a dancing girl and another employee were arrested. The patrons made no disturbance.
The manager, Joseph Rooves, white, 25 years old, who said he lived at the club, was held on a charge of keeping a disorderly house. The dancer, Irene Pryme, 23 years old, of 19 East 128th street, was held on a charge of committing a statutory offence, and Thos. Gomez, a white attendant, 32 years old, of 148 West 45th street, on a charge of acting in concert. All were taken to the West 47th Street Station.
The Owl Club was the scene of a sensational attempted hold-up a week ago, when four bandits were subdued by Policeman John Green of the West 47th Street Station, who has since been promoted to third grade detective by Commissioner McLaughlin in recognition of his bravery.
At the time of the hold-up the alarm was given by two girl dancers at the club, friends of the girl arrested Monday, Ruth Dayton and Dorothy Bellis, who saw the bandits at work and escaped by a side door to summon the police.
Patrolman, Chasing Man, Falls.
While pursuing an unknown man who attempted to break into a store Monday, Patrolman Cooper of the 1836th street station fell, sustaining a sprained ankle.
EXTRA SHOTGUN USED IN KILLING
ATLANTIC CITY, April 5.—Police here were searching today for Jack Johnson, 24 years old, accused of having shot and killed Charles Grant, 40 years old, Easter Sunday afternoon in a rooming house at 231 North Illinois avenue. Three persons who saw the shooting, all of whom were held without bail as material witnesses, said, according to the police, that it resulted from a heated quarrel, following an extended drinking bout, in which the names of several women were mentioned. Grant was killed by charges from both barrels of a shotgun. The weapon was found in the house.
UNABLE TO SEE OFFICERS OF U.N.I.A. AT 135TH ST. HEADQ'RTERS
Reported That Bourne and Carter Have Resigned, While William Sherrill Refuses to Quit
Whether or not there is trouble brewing in the Universal Negro Improvement Association as a result of Garvey's temporary lieutenants being ousted and replaced could not be definitely ascertained from their headquarters this week.
Neither the old or new officials could be seen at the office. It was reported earlier in the week that Clifford S. Bourne, Grand Chancellor, and George E. Carter, Secretary-General, had tendered their resignation. William Sherrill, Acting President, has refused to quit, it is said.
In tendering his resignation, Clifford S. Bourne stated he was so doing because of the irregularities existing in the organization and the unfavorable position in which he had been placed in his effort to serve the association.
F. A. Toots of Philadelphia, who was elected at Detroit several weeks ago to succeed Sheerrill, made no effort to assume charge. Levi Lord, former Auditor-General, who was elected Grand Chancellor of Exchequer at Detroit, took charge of the association's finances.
Williams to Be Sentenced to Death Tomorrow
George B. Williams, who was found guilty of killing a white watchman. William Young, during a robbery in the loft building, 525 West 42nd Street on February 7, will be sentenced tomorrow to death in the electric chair.
A jury sitting in Judge Allen's Part of General Sessions returned a verdict of murder in the first degree against Williams Friday.
5th Ave. Fashion Parade Had Nothing on 7th Ave.
Fashionable Fifth avenue had its Easter Parade, but it had nothing on Harlem's fashionable Seventh avenue. From 10 A. M. Sunday till Old Sol sunk slowly in the west after a astringent day warming smartly but thinly dressed young men and women, an Easter parade not to be beaten for its variety of color and galaxy of mood was in progress.
Milady wore gray in the lighter shades and achieved a stunning effect in her cape-coat, close-fitting hat and kid shoes. Of course, the ensemble was completed with most carefully chosen accessories, such as the popular pouch-bag, slip-on gloves and gray scarf. The older and wiser were quite comfortable in their Winter wraps and signed, perhaps, at the thought that they, too, in the bygone years had braved the chilling winds to participate in the big parade.
Held on Suspicion of Stealing Auto
Had Just Run Over a Man Knocked Down by Another Car
On suspicion of having a stolen car in his possession, Al Frazier, 236 West 14th street, was held without bail by Magistrate Bernard Douras in the Washington Heights Court Monday.
Frazier was arrested by Patrolman Alexander Johnson of the 135th street station, after the automobile which Allen was driving ran over the body of a man who had been knocked down by a taxi cab. The officer said that the man could not produce a license or any identification to show that he owned the car.
Allen testified that he had been hired by a white man in Jacksonville, Fl., to drive the car East, following the owner, who was in another machine. When they arrived in Washington, D. C., the man told him to come on to New York and remain here until he arrived.
The patrolman said that the license plates were from Washington, and not Florida. The prisoner said that he had sent his employer a telegram but had not received a reply.
VIEWS. BODY OF GRAND- DAUGHTER AND DIES SOON AFTER

When the body of Miss Carrie Peters was carried back to her native home here last week, it caused the death of her aged grandfather, Henry M. Stallings, one of the pioneers and most prominent men in the county. As Mr. Stallings, who has been inactive because of his 78 years, reviewed the remnants of his beautiful granddaughter he wept. He then prayed to the Lord to take him away with his beloved grandchild while he was surrounded by all of his children. On going back to his room he got into his bed as if to sleep. He was dead a few minutes later.
Miss Peters was buried in the afternoon following the death of her grandfather, Tuesday morning. A simple ceremony was conducted at the family home.

Pulled Woman From Street Into Taxicab
On a charge of attempted rape, William Taylor, whose address the police did not learn, was held in $3,000 ball for a further hearing Monday in the Washington Heights Court. Evelyn Arnstead, 446 West 163d street, the complainant, was unable to appear in court as a result of the alleged assault. A complaint signed by the woman said that Taylor pulled her into a taxicab at 139th street and Seventh avenue about 1 a. m., and with violent force attempted to commit the act. Patrolman Robert Graham of the 135th street station, who was on post at the corner, was attracted to the taxicab by the woman's screams.
Tenor of Union Church Beaten
Thugs Set Upon Him After He Had Attended Choir
On his way from his friend's home, Harold Matthews, leading tenor of Union Baptist Church, 63d street, near Amsterdam avenue, was attacked and severely beaten by five white hoodlums on the corner of 63d street and Amsterdam avenue Saturday night.
The police officer who reported the assault to the prefect station stated that Matthews had been run down by a taxi cab on descending from a street car. This false record was given the officer, who is believed to have some knowledge of the culprits who attacked the man.
Matthews had attended a rehearsal at the church for their Easter program earlier in the night and had gone around the corner to see a friend. Coming back to the 63d street corner he was suddenly knocked down by the hoodlums.
Although the five bullies escaped and the patrolman made a false report, the Roy George H. Sims, pastor of the church, has made efforts to have a complaint drawn out against the officer and have the gang captured.

William Washington Held for Investigation Before Being Sentenced — He Threatened Father Also:
Because his mother, Mrs. Rose, Washington, insisted upon him either getting a job or going back to live with his father, from whom she is separated, William Washington, 16, 2412 Seventh avenue, became furious and attempted to stab her.
Arraigned in the Washington Heights Court Monday, the youth was found guilt- and held in custody pending investigation before sentence. How her son had beat her and threatened her life was told pathetically by Mrs. Washington. She said that she had supported it for a period of two months. His father even gave him money or steward of her, she testified. The boy worked for a period of three months and used most of his earnings to buy clothing.
Since the boy has been out of work, he has pawned all of his clothing, Mrs. Washington said. He wore a threadworn suit and raincoat when he appeared in court. His mother said that she could not support him and pay her own necessary expenses.
Mrs. Washington testified that when she told her son that he would either have to get out and get a job or go back to his father, he sprung at her like a tiger. When the boy attempted to cut her with the penknife, one of the lodgers in the apartment ran to her rescue, and Mrs. Washington ran out of the house. She then summoned a policeman.
When the youth took the witness stand in his own defense, he said that he was mad because his mother was going to put him out of the house.
Attracted by Crowd Viewing Dead Father
While on his way to work Sunday afternoon William F. Jenkins, a waiter, 206 West 121st street, dropped dead on the platform of the 125th street elevated station. His 12-year-old daughter, Vivian, who was on her way to Atlantic City, saw a crowd gathered and upon investigating the trouble found that the lifeless body of her father was the attraction. Jenkins is survived by a wife, Mrs. Georgia Jenkins, a son, Percy, and Vivian. The funeral will be held at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church this evening. Rev. J. W. Brown will conduct the service. Mr. Jenkins was a member of the Odd Fellows and Masonic Lodges.

PRESIDENT OF HAITI PRAISES AMERICAN OCCUPATION
In Interview With Times Correspondent, He Says Some Mistakes Have Been Made, but Benefits Far Outweigh Them
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti. March 15. — The serious attention of the American people and press to international writers who are endeavoring to create false impressions in the United States and to prejudice public opinion against the Government of Haiti was requested by the Hon. Louis Borno, President of Haiti, in an interview granted to a New York Times writer at the Palais National today. President Borno is completing the last month of his term in office.
"One of the curses of Haifa has always been a small group of professional politicians," said President Borno. "They make their living by stirring up dissatisfaction, disorder and violence. In the past they have been responsible for much of the revolution, strife and bloodshed that has desolated our unhappy country. Truth, honor, decency mean nothing to them. No story is too improbable or too malicious for them to publish and circulate, providing they think they can obtain the smallest advantage by it. In Haifa this has done, and is doing, much harm, but responsible people here have come to pay no attention to these activities.
"The greatest harm that such persecution can do at present is done in the United States. There they are endeavoring to circulate propaganda which not only libels the Haitian Government and myself personally, but attempts to be smirch the good name of the American people and belittle the idealism and altruism which they have shown in their relations with my country."
Calls Us Tactful and Efficient.
President Borno said he was highly pleased with the tactful and efficient policy that is being pursued by the American treaty and military forces in Haiti.
"The United States in its dealings with Haiti has given to the world an example of altruism, efficiency and unselfish efforts in behalf of a smaller nation such as history has seldom witnessed," he said. "Before the intervention in Haiti there had been no lasting peace nor general obedience to the law for generations, and as a consequence, we had amarchey and persecution. Intervention has given us uninterrupted peace and universal obedience to the law, and our peo
ple have fourized as never before.
We have now, also, good hospitals
and dispensaries to heal the sick
and teachers to show us better
methods of agriculture and more
efficient ways to work.
"Your occupational forces here
made some mistakes in the begin-
ning, of course, but I know of no
occupation in the world's history
where mistakes and injustices have
been so few or which has been re-
presented by men of such high moral character. I believe that all
honest people in Haiti will join me
in this opinion."
When asked about his own policy in regard to American intervention and occupation, President Borno said that it had always been one of cordial co-operation, and would continue to be until his four-year term of office will be completed in a few weeks' time. He reviewed briefly the years of chaos and disorder that preceded the American occupation, and stated he was convinced that the time was not yet ripe for the American forces to withdraw and leave the country to its own resources.
Educational Aid Still Needed.
"Education is one of the chief, if not the chief, necessities of my people." President Borno said.
"The vast majority of the population of Haiti are illiterates today. More than four-fifths of the population of the republic lives in the rural districts, in little touch with the cities. So agricultural education in Haiti needs particular treatment and wide distribution. The problem is being met by the American experts with their characteristic resourcefulness.
"Haiti's future, of course, is in agriculture. We cannot hope to compete with the rest of the world in manufacturing, for we have neither the raw materials nor the machinery necessary to make enough for our own needs, although there is an abundance of labor in the country. Haiti does not even produce enough sugar to supply its own people at the present time, although the country possesses some of the finest sugar-growing land in the world. That the situation of the country has greatly improved with American help, however, is evidenced by export reports, which show a larger total for the last four months than any year previously.
Why There Are Malcontents.
"Yet, for the dishonest politician and the dishonest political writer things have not gone so well," the President stated. "There have been no revolutions and so coupe for several years and, in consequence, the men who made a living by political disorder have not prospered, despite the general prosperity and progress. So they are endeavoring, and have endeavored with all their power, to discredit the policy of the American nation in Haiti with the American people themselves, and to persuade those who ought to be most proud of the actions of your representatives here to regard them with shamie.
"To do this they have taken advantage of the universal American love of liberty and the sportmanlike attitude of mind which causes the American always to take the side of the under dog. By representing their country as oppressed and themselves as persecuted they have aroused a certain amount of sympathy and inspired a certain amount of belief. As a matter of fact, Haiti, far from being persecuted, enjoys more universal liberty today than ever before in its history, and these poisonous writers are as far as possible from being persecuted. In fact, under the old-time Haitian President, in the days before the American occupation, they could not have said one hundredth of the things they have said and lived to tell the tale.
"The eyes of all Latin-America and, no doubt, the world are on this American experiment in Haiti." President Borno concluded. "I consider it a duty for all good Americans to support and favor
the work of true progress and prosperity which is being done in Haiti."
Charge Against Tynes Dismissed
White Pupil Admits He Told Falsehoods on Witness Stand
Magistrate George Simpson. In Harlem Court, yesterday dismissed a summons against H. A. Tynes. 314 West 125th street, a colored teacher in P. S. 85. East 117th street, who was charged by a white pupil. Frank Chambrini. 12. 421 North 125th street, having suited him the classroom by striking him on the head with a 38-inch ruler.
Harold S. Budner, counsel for Tynes, on cross-examination, had the boy admit that he had told several falschools to his teacher; that he had the boy he had played "hokey" and had gone to Central Park with other boys, and that he had previously been placed on probation for 90 days for truancy. Associated with Mr. Budner was Counselor J. S. fill, attorney of Tynes. The courtroom was crowded with friends of Tynes and teachers from P. S. 85, several of whom testified as character witnesses for him. Mrs. Natalia K. Sacks, white 62, was 55th street, a teacher for the past 4 years, was one of these witnesses.
The boy testified that the alleged assault was inflicted with the ruler on February 23 and resulted in his being continued to St. Luke's Hospital with hemorrhages of the scalp. The Magistrate said the boy's testimony implicated an investigation showed he was given to playing "hookey," had been on probation for truancy, and on several occasions had told falsehoods; on the other hand, the teacher bore an excellent reputation and had taken the stand and had denied the assault. For these reasons, the Magistrate indicated, his decision must be in favor of the accused mother. The accused appeared in court last week in response to a summons procured by the boy's father, Benadino Chamvinti.
Boy. Age 11. Hit by Auto.
James White, 11 years old, 251 West 130th street, was struck by an automobile and slightly injured Monday while playing ball in the street. The auto was driven by Preston Hayes, 224 West 141st street.

Charles Patterson Believes He Is the Man Who Held Him Up Last December
Edward "Red" Turner, an alleged highwayman, was held without bail for the Special Sessions by Magistrate Bernard Douras in the Washington Heights Court Monday on the complaint of Charles Patterson, elevator operator, 19 East 129th street.
Patterson declared that he was not positive that Turner was the man who had robbed him in concert with another man on last December 19, but that he resembled one of the men. At the time of the robbery Patterson says that he was working in a "speak easy" in West 129th street, owned by Max Wexler, white.
About 1 A. M., while Patterson was talking to a customer, a man entered the place and ordered them to "stick 'em up." Patterson said that the gunman then ordered the customer to go through his pockets, taking $90. Then, in turn, the bandit made the waiter go through the unknown man's pocket, finding nothing. The two men were then forced into a back room and the lone bandit escaped.
Several days later the man returned to the place and informed the owner that he acted in concert with "Red" Turner on the night that Patterson was robbed and that "Red" had failed to keep his promise about the split, the unknown man receiving only 10 cents out of the $90.
Wlexler said that, with the description given of Turner, he pointed him out to Patrolman Siemers of the 123d street police station, who made the arrest. Since the time of the hold-up, Patterson has left the employ of Wlexler. The

Grenthal Rent Bill Killed in Senate
ALBANY, April 4.—By a vote of eight to three the Senate Judiciary Committee killed the Grenthal bill, the passage of which the foes of Samuel Koenig, Republican leader of New York County, asserted would mean his political downfall. The measure, sponsored by Assemblyman Grenthal, Republican, of Manhattan, was passed in the Assembly some time ago. Under it courts would be permitted to withhold rents until landlords made repairs ordered by the Tenement House Department. The Republicans voting to kill the measure were: Gibbs, Fearon, Dick, Karle, Truman and Pitcher, Nicoll, Republican, of Manhattan, and Russell and Schackno, Democrats, voted to report. The defeat in the Senate of a similar measure, passed in the Assembly last year was alleged by certain Republicans in Manhattan to have been due to Mr. Koenig.

Howard Alumni Discuss Presidency
Howard Alumni Discuss Presidency
Agree That New Executive Should Be an Alumnus of the University
The Howard University Alumni club of New York held a very live- and enthusiastic mooting at the New Urban League Building on Tuesday of last week. Arrangements were completed for the alumni dinner dance to be held on April 23. A brief discussion ensued as a result of the recent resignation of president, Stanley Durkee. Resolutions were adopted to be sent to the board of trustees imploring them that in the selection of a president of the university it should consult the long roster of eminent alumni of the university and give one of them first choice. Some few present favored making the request that a Negro president, or alumnus, be selected.
the president of the club, Mr. Benjamin H. Locke, called attention to the fact that many alumni of Howard were not Negroes and we could not afford to discriminate. He stated that a former Governor of Virginia was a Howard alumnus, and that the personal secretary of President Coolidge is a Howard alumnus, the son of a former dean of one of the departments of the university. The present dean of the medical school is an alumnus. He added that there were many prominent and successful sons of Howard of both races, who were well versed in her traditions and struggles and could administer successfully to her needs. A very notable feature of the entire meeting was the desire, on the part of the alumni, to keep politics out of the selection. Several possible candidates were mentioned, but the club refrained from endorsing any particular individual.

Sgt. John L. Davis' Funeral Impressive
Was Veteran of 15th Infantry and 32d Degree Mason
One of the most beautiful and impressive funeral services ever held in Abyssinian Baptist Church was that of Sergt. John L. Davis, a veteran of the old 15th Regiment (the 369th), Tuesday. Sergt. Davis lived at the home of Dr. Gertrude Fayde-Clarkson and Lieut. A. B. Clarkson, 243 West 135th street. Being absolutely alone in this world, and a semi-invalid, the result of having been gassed and wounded in the World's War, Dr. Gertrude Fayde-Clarkson adopted him as one of the family.
Sergt. Davis received a great mental shock on hearing of the sudden death of Mrs. Blanche Powell Rhodes, daughter of Rev. Dr. Powell of Abyssinian Baptist Church. She was a childhood friend. He rode to the cemetery in Flushing, L. L., in the open car with the flowers and that night was taken sick with influenza and pneumonia, dying on Palm Sunday, eight days later, at the Brooklyn Naval Hospital. Sergt. Davis was a 32d degree Mason and an Odd Fellow, as well as a life member of the Usher Board of Abyssinian Church. He was also first sergeant of Co. M. 369th Regiment, N. Y. N. G., and an employee of the mailing equipment department of the General Post Office.
Members of several companies of the 369th Infantry, led by Captains Butler and Atkins, escorted the body from the home to the church. There they were met by the St. John's and King David's Consistory Masons. The obituary was read by Rev. Shepard, the assistant pastor, while Rev. A. C. Powell preached an impressive permon. Resolutions were read from the 369th Regiment. Sergt. Davis being an expert machine gunner. Taps were blown. The remains, accompanied by a firing squad, were interred in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.

Sheppard-Towner Act and the Negro
(Concluded From Last Week.)
Virginia organized classes for her midwives three years ago. At each class the midwife is taught the necessity for cleanliness, the danger of giving drugs, the importance of calling a doctor at a time of appearance of a hospital symp of silver-irritate in the baby's eyes to prevent "blindness of the newborn," and the prompt reporting of the baby's birth.
The State Board of Health has adopted a regulation bag with simple equipment and a white uniform which each registered midwife is required to use. The difference in appearance between the old type of midwife and the new one is almost unbelievable, and in a number of States the physicians have reported as remarkable an improvement in their practice. It is believed and hoped that soon or later the patient will painstaking instruction of the midwife will show results in lowered maternal and infant mortality rates, particularly among colored families.

Then there children who, and surgery, less cripples, that "some the Johnson's poor feet operet yet." Another loved her daa have her opera
Another type of work carried on with Sheppard-Towner money which is or special interest to Negro women is illustrated by the demonstration in Cincinnati, O., which ended last June. This demonstration was confined entirely to the colored population of the city and was intended to show what could be done to lower infant and maternal death rates among the colored people.
Five colored nurses devoted all of their time to colored people, two-fifths of their work being directed toward education in maternal and infant hygiene. The demonstration began late in 1923. A list of all babies born that year formed the starting point for home visits. Within a very short time after the birth had been recorded the nurses were in touch with the home. Working in co-operation with private physicians, the nurses visited babies and preschool children, infants, and whenever possible, found prenatal cases and gave help to the expectant mother. Two health centers were established where many children came for physical examination, advice and observation.
The period of the demonstration —only a little over a year—was too short to show marked results in mortality figures, but it is significant that there were only six deaths among all the children under observation at the time. Cincinnati received the first prize for the best observance of Negro Health Week during 1824. Stories of individual cases show that the demonstration has acco-

plished results. There is, for instance, the girl found taking care of her sick father and of two little brothers shut in the house because of measles, while doing the washing for her illegitimate baby in the house. The girl was untidy, of course the children broke quarantine and slipped out to play with other children—the whole picture was one of despair and hopelessness. Six months later the same girl, barely 16, was in the infant welfare station, her baby shining and spotless, her own proud, proud to be commended on the beautiful care she gave her baby.
Then there were the three little children who, without treatment and surgery, would have been hopeless cripples. One mother thought that "some time" she would have Johnnie's poor little crippled, twisted feet operated on, but "not just yet." Another mother thought she loved her daughter too much to have her operated on; another had not really thought about her child's handicap. It was the Sheppard's mother, and she announced the parents' consent and co-operation in having the children treated. Now a little boy is no longer unsightly and hopelessly out of things and two little girls are walking who have never even stood before.
This short article can tell very little of Sheppard-Towner work going on in all parts of the country, in isolated mountain districts as well as in prosperous farming communities, among all races and all economic classes. It is work which has already shown its value and which, if it is continued by Congress after June, 1927, when the original appropriation ceases, will undoubtedly produce even greater results. It is encouraging to note that the tendency of the infant mortality rate is downward, both among widest and among colored populations. In 1923 the Negro infant mortality rate was 117, as compared with 122 in 1929; a substantial reduction. The Negro maternal mortality rate was 11 in 1923, instead of 13 in 1929—a small reduction, but evidence, at least, that we are working along the right lines.

Fashion Hints
Gray is "the" shade. Coats, hats, shoes are gray. The materials for those fashionable cape-coats are twills, kasha, satin and crepe, the last two being lined with kasha and used on the reverse.
However straight the lines may be in wraps, a suggestion of a flare is still to be seen. Close-fitting hats at present hold first place. Felt, grosgrain and combinations of felt and straw are favorite materials. No doubt, with the coming warm weather, larger and lighter ones will come into their own. Various reptilian hides in footwear are quite the thing. Kid in various shades of grays and tans runs them a close second. The shoes themselves seem skimpy, than ever skimmed, displayed by the shorter skirts, of sheerest texture and brilliantly colored.
Scarves of as many colors as the proverbal "Jacob's coat" and flowers of bright hues and much charm to the ensemble.

Best Amusement Page in New York City THEATRES, DANCES, ENTERTAINMENTS, Etc. Picture Operators to Get Chance at Lincoln Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty
Lincoln Management Always in Favor of Giving Operators Chance
But Operators Made No Overtures Since First Attempt About Two Years Ago—If Colored Workers Are Ready to Produce Competent Men They'll Be Welcome at the Lincoln
IN JOINING the motion picture operators of this section in asking for a chance to work at those theatres catering exclusively to Negroes, we never for a moment entertained any doubts where the Lincoln would be when the matter came to a showdown. And while we have never discussed the matter with our good friend Mr. Eckert at the Franklin Theatre, we firmly believe that when the time is ripe he will give our boys a chance.
We admit that we have always had our doubts about those theatres in the section starting from 143rd street and Lenox avenue, going over to 1435th street near Eighth avenue. It has only been in recent days that the people running these houses have shown a disposition to bring back that bond which existed between the Roosevelt and Douglas when Messrs. Silverman and Sovina were the powers behind the box offices.
Manager Pekelner has done a great deal in trying to wipe out the feelings of hostility which existed in certain places, and while we do not know the attitude of Mr. Pekelner in the present agitation of the motion picture operators, we believe that he, too, will lend an ear to the appeal of the boys, especially when the house built by the gentle and charming Mrs. Marla Downs stands ready to welcome those among its competent enough to carry on the work.
We have it from Mr. Raymond Snyder, of whom there has never been any fairer occupying the position he does at one of the leading homes in the community, that Lincoln has never shown a disposition to deny the colored operatives the chance which he feels is truly their. But it is as we stated in our last issue. For years we would not furnish men to man the theatre here, and it would certainly be asking too, much for these people to be experimenting with a proposition representing the investment of more than two hundred thousand dollars.
An operator going into the Lincoln must be conversant not only with the operation of the motion picture machine, but also the spot and other things necessary in a Goodville house. If our suckers after justice feel that they are prepared to man the job in the manner in which it should be, they will find any hostile atmosphere when they approach the manager of the Lincoln Theatre. Manager Snyder informs us—and he is borne out by Mrs. Reagan, efficient secretary of Mrs. Downs for many years—that representatives from the operators have not been in to see him since that day since the years ago when the man was first brought up, hence it is impossible for him to know that he had reached the stage where they were prepared to do the work.
Readers of this paper have no doubt not that from time to time we take great pleasure in speaking of Mrs. Downs. Ever since the lady came here she has shown a disposition to do those things which have had a great deal to do with enduring her to those fortunate enough to be brought into contact with her. She has also had the happy faculty of placing those in charge of her theatre who seem to understand and appreciate our position. Without the ringing of bells or the blowing of horns, she has very long ago contributed one thousand dollars to the colored ornament. Mrs. Downs did not do this for publicity, and left to her we would not know it. But she did it because of the largeness of heart which has prompted her to give thousands of dollars to our charities since she has been here, hence it will be readily seen why we feel so sure in predicting that the Lincoln Theatre would at least be the one house where our motion picture operas would get the chance when the time came.
DE MILLE TO MAKE
BIG COLORED FILM
HOLLYWOOD, Cal.—For the first time in the history of the motion picture industry, a leading producer is to make a film with all colored actors. Cecil B. DeMille announced yesterday that he would make the film despite prophecies of failure and adverse criticism from rival producers. The picture will portray the human, every day life of the American colored man, his joys, his sorrows and will not, directly or otherwise, touch on the racial problems.
Why is it true that a woman whose face is masked is the most popular woman at any gathering? Robert Z. Leonard, Leonard-Meyer director, believes that man's highly imaginative mind is the role person. In Leonard's picture. "Dance Madness," the hero, played by Conrad Niegel, falls madly in love with
THE MUSICIAN
for years a leader and a dancer unsurpassed. He is "knocking 'em over" at the Lafayette with "Tan Town Topics."
a masked Russian dancer, and when his own wife, played by Clare Windsor, adopts a similar discourse he unwittingly falls in love with her.
"This condition is true because a man is forever seeking an ideal that he never finds. If a woman's face is covered, it immediately allows a man's imagination to run riot, unveiling a beauty and perfection of face that is impossible of attainment.
"The Wanderer" at the Roosevelt, Saturday, Sunday and Monday
One of the powerful dramatic effects achieved on the screen was filmed recently during the making of the scene showing return of the prodigal son to his father's house in the production inspired by the famous Biblical parable. The scene, which is a feature of "The Wanderer," famous stage spectacle screened by Paramount, brought tears to the eyes of the onlookers, it is said, through the sheer force of its simplicity. William Collier, Jr., who plays the title role—that of the prodigal son—crawled up the steps of his father's home ill and weak and starving following the destruction of the Biblical city by the wrath of God.
Sissle and Blake Returning
Noble Sissie and Ruble Blake, International Stars of Sycopia, American ambassadors abroad in melody and song, are at last homeward bound. The writers of "Shuffle Along" and "The Chocolate Dandles" sailed from France, March 31st, on the "S. S. Park" and are due to arrive in New York the middle of the following week. Noble and Ruble are routed to appear in the leading motion picture theatres on a tour until September. They open April 24th at the Garlick Theatre, Duluth, the northwest theatrical syndicate making an un
location is sufficient unless an unusual contract to secure Sissle and Blake's first American appearance following their return from Europe.

Tan Town Topics With Rector and Cooper Off to a Wonderful Start
Popular Prices Kept Lafayette Theatre Packed Opening Day With Outlook for Record Breaking Week
THE Lafayette Theatre presented a scene of animation on Monday afternoon and evening which we have not noticed in quite a long time, and this because of the revue playing the house this week headed by Ralph Cooper and Eddie Rector.
Perhaps the fact that these youngsters grew right up before our very eyes had a lot to do with it, and then again it is because Eddie, a mighty good dancer long before the craze hit New York and one who came right along with the times and continues to hold his own, hooked up with Cooper, who, the youngest among the batch coming into prominence with the Broadway shows, has shown an almost uncanny grasp on the extricacies of present day steps. Of course we have not forgotten that many good workers surround the boys, but ever since they got together as a team they have been making 'em sit up and take notice. Heading their revue called "The Town Topics" they are sitting right atop of the world, and their opening was as big as they could expect. The Laffey Theatre drew full houses and extra big standing room crowds all day Monday, with a promise of one of the biggest weeks for the show.
Among those lending great support to the dancing stars are: Leonidas Simmons, a most personable young lady, who is doing nicely; Gulfport and Brown, favorites of the past and present; Adelaude Hall, who returned from Europe some time ago; Arthur Gaines, a songster of no mean ability; Philip Giles and Mand Mills, who knocked them off their seats at every performance, and the Tan Town Topics Orchestra, led by "Fats" Waller.
New scenery added to the attractiveness of the revue, which was conceived by Ralph Cooper, who furnished the book and dances, and Eddie Rector, responsible for the music and lyrics with Waller, Walter Brown, known as the "whistling scaaf." is another valuable member of the cast.
chorus also contributes to an evening's entertainment seldom seen even at the Lafayette, which has made it a habit in presenting revue entertainment ever since they said "let's have a revue." The choruses include: Goldie Sisco, Alma Sutton, Milford Brown, Thelma McGlonghill, Tina Curly, Hazel Valentine, Evelyn Keyes, Babe McClendon and Sadie Maxie.
Next week the Lafayette will offer Oro Club's Creole Follies in what is said to be another outstanding revue. Manager Frank Schiffman, when queried on why the charming Florence Mills was allowed to get away from the Lafayette since she had to come to Harlem, said that he did everything in his power to bring back Miss Mills, but absolutely refused to raise the prices.
Which should be a feather in Mr. Schiffman's cap, considering that he came up smiling when he was at his wits' end to find enough room to "jam 'em in" on Monday afternoon and evening. Well, they tell me that competition is the life of trade, and it is right here for us.
Debutantes' Benefit at Bamboo on Thursday
The Deboutantes, one of the most widely known clubs among the younger social set, plans a monster benefit at the Bamboo Inn on Thursday night, April S.
This affair is being sung in behalf of the Katy Ferguson-Soljourner Truth Home and the Hampton-Tuskegee Fund. The young ladies of the club, who can always be found to the fore in worthy efforts of this kind, has planned to transform the place into "Beauty Inn" for the occasion. They should not experience any trouble in so doing, as they represent the very highest in female pulchritude.
Talent has been secured to furnish an unusual evening of pleasure, which includes one of the best revues.
Lincoln Offers Another Splendid Film This Week
If there are greater heights for D. W. Griffith to attain, if there are additional honors for this directorial genius to win, if there are further laurels for the old master to gather, then surely he has retched those heights, earned those honors and gained those laurels with "That Royle Girl!" his latest screen creation which will be the picture feature at the Lincoln Theatre the latter half of this week.
Griffith has taken Edwin Balmer's vivid, ultra-modern story of life in the Chicago jazz belt and underword, peopled it with such fine artists as Carol Dempster, W. C. Fields, James Kirkwood, Harrison Ford and others, and made of it a heart-gripping epic picture of thrilling drama and hilarious comedy, richly woven with polignand pathos, typically American humor and a compelling love-romance.
Exciting as is the action of the plot which sweeps irresistibly through gripping scenes of lawbreaking, intrigue and murder, reaching a climatic frenzy, a spectacular, awe-inspiring cyclone, accompanied by the spirited acting of the chief characters, and dominated at all times by the master hand of Griffith.
Renaissance Theatre Offers "Bluebeard's Seven Wives'
"Bluebeard's Seven Wives," with Banche Sweet, Lois Wilson and Ben Lyon, will be the attraction at the Renaissance Theatre Thursday and Friday, April 8 and 9. This is a story of an actor who married his way to fame. Replete with funny scenes, yet with great interest, this picture is one that will please all and should attract a good attendance at each performance.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday, April 10, 11, 12, that big production, "Infatuation," starring Corinne Griffiths, will be the feature picture at the Renaissance Theatre. "Infatuation," as the name might imply, is a love drama adapted from the play, "Caesar's Wife," by Irving Cummings.

Eastern Colored League Will Start Fourth Season With Promising Circuit
Eastern Colored League Will Start Fourth Season With Promising Circuit
Will Officially. Get Under Way on May 1—Lincoln Giants Bolster Club by Getting Johnson and Lewis From Hilldale
By LLOYD P. THOMPSON
NOT since the bee of organization by the established colored clubs along the Atlantic seaboard in 1923 has the Eastern League boasted such a likely looking circuit to start the season. With the entry of Newark into the league to round out the eight clubs, it establishes a more compact loop and affords the New York clubs an easy jump with traveling expenses reduced to a minimum and also the benefit of Sunday ball. For many years the leading independents have recognized Newark as one of the best Sunday spots in the East. This city truly holds the distinction of being able to turn out a creditable baseball audience twice in a single day, for Sunday morning games flourish there with as profitable results as afternoon games return elsewhere.
SIX
Season to Open May 1st.
As in the past seasons the adoption or rather drafting a schedule has been a weighty problem and while it is yet to be completed, the league will adhere to the seventy game schedule for the season it will always be difficult with eight clubs and six parks and also the fact that Baltimore and Lincoln Giants play primarily Sundays at home, however the League has lines out for a sample of parks that will likely do so and in these neutral parks the Commissioners contemplate filling in games between member teams to complete the allotted quota. While it is not probable, nor would it be practical for all of the parks to get under way the same day, it is already understood that the Saturday parks will open May 1st and the Sunday parks drop in line the following day as per past custom.
Pre-season games will be played by all league clubs and the majority of the teams will have their players report April 1st or soon after that date. But over in New York where the season opens in March and lasts until November, Jim Keenan's Lincoln Giants are already in harness.
Suspension for Beckwith.
The rumor that is daily gaining credulity to the effect that John Beckwith has cast his lot with the Homestead Grays in lieu of his contract with the Baltimore Black Sox has been given due consideration by not only the Baltimore owners and the Eastern League but it also clamps the lid on Beckwith's prospects for a job East or West till a five-year penalty of suspension that he will incur. Manager Seadden of the Baltimore team has ordered Beckwith to report with the rest of the players and can not officially declare him a contract jumper until he fails to report.
Now that Posey has excreted his cunning wiles as well as the influence of his off-reputed fat bank roll to insignite Beckwith from his berth in the Monumental City. it is well that the belligerent Beck have the foresight as well as the business intuitive to pin Cumberland down to a contract that spreads over a period of five years at a figure in excess of his cunning capacity with the Baltimore team. Otherwise the Chicago billiard parlor proprietor may awaken to the fact that Cum Posey's think tank has worked too fast for him and will seriously affect his annual stend from baseball.
Judging from past occurrences it is highly improbable that Beckwith will terminate a single season in Pittsburgh; back in 1924 Beck hopped from the American Giants to Pittsburgh and before the season was half over Cumberland and his slugging hitreling had come to the parting of the ways. With the Eastern League as a haven Beckwith found a ready market for his wares. But in the event or a recurrence of this chapter the Chicago slugger will contract eye strain looking for another independent club willing to meet his fed up salary demands.

has experienced. Dating back to 1910 when genial James started his baseball venture the Lincoln Giants, pride of Harlem and the Bronx, have always sported a nifty aggregation, but the long lone took a twist-last season and for reasons over which the Bronx owner had no control the Lincolnes were buffeted by-the-other-clubs-till-they were classed as the doormark of the league.
Keenan made frantic but futile efforts to strengthen his club and his roster of players for the past season reached the seemingly fabulous total of 49. But with no seasoned players available the results were very ungratifying and the Lincolns finished seventh, simply because the eighth club had dropped out in mid-season. Distasteful as the medicine was Keenan took the dregs of the past season with a smile and is looking for no repetition in the fast approaching campaign. Realizing that some experienced players were badly needed to balance his young team, the New York owner has kept his car to the ground and when he got wind that Bolden was going to cut some strings he readily made a deal that secured George Johnson and Joe Lewis for the Lincolns.
In Johnson the New York club gets one of the best outfielders in colored ranks; the rangy Texan has an uncanny eye for judging fly balls and also swings a wicked willow. For the past eight years Johnson has been a fixture in the Hilldale outfield. Joe Lewis the Baltimore boy is a capable receiver and has been carried by the Hilldale team for the past two years. Joe has a good throwing arm and his ample disposition will be a great help in handling some of the Lincoln's young pitchers.
Alpha Phi Beats Omega Five 20-12
Fashionable Crowd Turns Out at Renaissance Casina Monday Afternoon
One of the biggest upsets of the amateur basketball season came Monday afternoon when the local chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity beat the Omega Psi Phi's local quintet 20-12.
Drawing their usual crowd, the Renaissance Casino was another fashionable showplace with beautifully dressed debutantes and smartly groomed young men. To the sweet strains of music, a huge mass swayed gaily during the intermissions and after the game. The game was checked with thrills. The biggest during the game was the "Great Season" games unsuccessful in getting him. He was later put out of the game. Outplayed by far, the Omega Five was buried in the glory of Alpha's dust. Probably the cause of the results was due largely to the coaching of the Alpha squad by Gerald Norman.
Norman, who is also coach of the Flushing High School team, whipped the Alpha Five into shape. To us his own words about the victory: "That was fixed Saturday at our practice." The line-up: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity—Richard Harvey (Capt.); Howard Dash, Eddie Lowry, Johnnie Johnson, Frankie Pollitt, Harry Jackson, Quintin Hands, A.D. Oblennis, Ted Jendeouson R.H. Oblennis, A.D. Hunt Wen Saunders.
Omega Psl Phi Team—James Sessoms (Capt.); Stretch Grant, Bouchet Day, Harold McNichols, Percy Richardson, Bert Horne, Teddie Daniels, Hastings Tompkins.
Again Trounces Walden
ATLANTA, Ga., March 27.—Morehouse accepted the offerings of Guy and Young for 14 safe blows and again deefatted Walden today, 12-2. The veteran Starr was touched for six safeties, only one of which counted for an extra base. J. Williams had a big day at the bat, getting four hits out of five chances, while Riley drove the ball over the right field fence for a home run in the first inning, scoring J. Williams and McPherson. Russ was less fortunate. Sykes robbed him of a home-run fly in the

Florence Mills in "Black Birds of 1926" at the Alhambra Theatre
Sell Out at Opening Show Leslie Denies Discrimination Two Dollar Seats in Orchestra
Low Leslie presented Florence Mills, most gifted of all colored entertainers, at the Alhambra Theatre, 125th street and Seventh avenue, on Monday for a limited engagement prior to her appearance on foreign shores. Miss Mills appeared in a new revue entitled "Black Birds of 1926" with music by George W. Meyer and lyrics by Grant Clark and Roy Turk.
New York, Boston, Chicago and many other cities acclaimed Florence Mills' last production as quite the best revue yet produced, Mr. Leslie feels certain that in the new show he has far surpassed "Dixie to broadway" in costumes, settings, music and dancing.
Miss Mills is being supported by an all-star cast of 75 people, including the famous Plantation Beauty Chorus and the celebrated Plantation Orchestra, featuring Johnnie Dunn, the sensational jazz cornetist, and Shrimp Jones, the leader.
"Black Birds of 1925" is a typical revue, with all the atmosphere of the "Follies," yet retaining all the quaint humor, melody and dancing so characteristic of the race.
The entire production has been conceived and staged by Mr. Leslie. There will be a performance every evening, with matinees on Thursdays and Saturdays and a special midnight performance on Thursday. There was a sell-out at the opening performance on Monday. Rumors going the rounds of discrimination were hotly denied by Lew Leslie; at the same time, while not so announced, orchestra seats can be had at $2 a throw.

Catskills and Renaissance in Return Game Here This Sunday Night
Up-Staters Believe They Can Take Measure of the Douglas Men, and Coming Primed for Contest
THE players of the Renaissance Five did not have to extend themselves to remain out front last Sunday night when they took the Peekskill Caseys into camp by a 36-32 score. The
white boys did not put up the hard contest expected, and as it usually takes two to make a fight Renaissance was satisfied to keep just a few points ahead of the visitors and win without an extra effort. Although few suspected it at the time, the Douglas men really decided to take things easy as they have got another hard game on their hands for the coming Sunday night. Fans will hall with joy the announcement that the Catskill five which gave the Renaissance such a hard battle here two weeks ago will be playing a return date the coming Sunday night and even standing room will be at a prepium.
And all because this up-state bunch came hert and placed the local team in a position where they had to uncover everything they knew about basketball to win. The white boys sprung the season's surprise when they turned loose Byrnes after "Fat" Jenkins and for the first time this season Jenkins found a man worthy of his steel. Clarence tried hard to shake his nemesis, but Byrnes was unshakable. He clung to Jenkins like Bengal's glue and it was not until the last six minutes of play that Renaissance managed to come from the rear with that famous rush which has meant so much to them in the past. It is going to be a big night at the Renaissance Casino when the Catskills again make their bow.
ST. MARK'S ALUMNI SWAMPS ACME
On March 23, 1928, St. Mark's alumni basketball team engaged in its annual game with the strong Acme Five, contenders for the championship of Harlem, and gained an overwhelming victory by a score of 51 for the alumni and 26 for Acme. The Acmes give as an excuse for their defeat the absence of their forward and center—Frank Stoele and Adam Powell. St. Mark's led at half-time by a score of 23 to 13. Alfred Eldridge, strong guard, was leading scorer of the night for the alumni, cenging five field goals and four fouls. R. Campbell was the high scorer for Acme, making five goals from the floor.
They Are Even Putting Over the Rough Stuff in Billiards
Which Proves Conclusively What We Have Said Anent the Lack of True Sportsmanship
By OLD IVORY
BILLIARDS is a clean sport from the amateur standpoint, but a little given to sharp practice and clever manipulation among American professionals. Just give this the once over, with no discredit to the good playing of the matches: In December, Eduard Horesman, the credited challenger for the "World's Championship" 18-2 balke-line billiards title, by virtue of finishing second in the last world's tournament, defeated young Jake Schaefer in their title 1,500-point match by the small margin of 1,500 points to 1,495 — five points — owing to a protest made over a shot by Schaefer. He consented to play a return match against him in thirty days. Horesman is a Belgian.
Now, Hagenlacher, of Holland, should have been his next opponent, according to his position of third in the World's Tournament, but "No," says the good American promoters of professional billards, "Play Schaefer." Much against his will he did play Schaefer again and lost his championship, all within 30 days.
From a financial standpoint Horesman was all the loser as in the short interim of his holding his title he was only entitled to one month's salary of the $5,000 a year which goes, with this title, to say nothing about his drawing power in the exhibition games.
With the ever popular 18-2 balkline title held again by an American, after two chances in 30 days, Hagenlacher, of Holland, was the next to have his chance at the title—not against the winner of the first championship game, but against Schaefer. To the surprise of all Hagenlacher did defeat young Jake in their title match without any shadow of a doubt. Well, Hagenlacher of Holland is the second foreigner to hold the world's 18-2 title and he is recognized as the world's 18-2 balkline champion. This is all he can get out of it plus salary of $3,600.
Now for a little manipulation: Hoppe won the world's 18-1 title from Maurice Vignaux of France in 1906 in Paris. After several matches, the last one in 1911, this style and title has lain dormant. What happens now with Hagen-lacher, world's 18-2 balk-line title and Horesman with a challenge to play Hoppe for the 18-1 balk-line championship? Real propaganda is dished up to make this long dormant game the popular one of today.
Horesman is eliminated and young Schafer chosen to play Hoppe for the title. Schafer won the match. The word's record of 15-1 ballads was broken four times during the 2,600-point match, three times by Hoppe and once by Schafer. The one thing in my mind is: did Schafer see his defeat coming when he, as 18-2 champion, dictated such drastic terms to Horesman? Did Hoppe see his fall from the throne as 18-1 king when he disregarded Horesman's challenge and chose to give Schafer the first chance to wear the 18-1 crown? Mr. Hagenlacher proposes to do with the championship what Horesman should have done—take it to Eprope and cash in on it. Yankee potions can't be beat!
St. Paul Varsity Wallops the Faculty Nine
LAWRENCEVILLE, Va., March 31. The affair started with a muddy field, heavy balls and feet. The fray from the outset was rather comical as all of the Facultionans were off their game. Tallies were registered in the second, third, fifth and sixth frames. In the second, Budson singled and scored on Scribner's wild throw to third. In the third chapter Scribner drew a walk and advanced to third on Turner's sacrifice, scoring the only marker for the faculty nine. Three of the Varsity's counters were made in the sixth half with the heavy end of the batting order up. During the sixth the bags were loaded with two out, when Blackwell sacrificed and scored Jones. The contest ended with the score 5-1 and the Facultionans on the tail end of the numbers.

World Writer Tells of the New Athletic Club
ANEW athletic club for Negro track and field stars, says Charles E. Parker in the New York World, with DeHart Hubbard as a noteworthy member, promises to become a leading factor in metropolitan and national A. A. U. competition during the approaching season. It has been named the Century Athletic Club, has offices established at No. 328 East 36th street, and has just been officially accepted into membership in the Metropolitan Association of the Amateur Athletic Union.
Its founder and President is Hunter Johnson, former trainer at the University of Pittsburgh and the man who developed R. Earl Johnson, national champion distance runner and Olympic scorer, and several other Negro athletes. Its aim is to foster athletics among the colored youth of this section and to provide an athletic home for Negro athletes who, owing to the lack of such a club, have been forced to compete unattached and to make athletic trips at their own expense.
In DeHart Hubbard the club has one of the greatest athletes in the world—holder of world's outdoor and indoor broad jump records, joint holder of sprint records, and present national and Olympic champion in the broad jump.
Other athletic notables already holding membership are Adrian Buckner, former Buffalo sprinter; Ken Webican, Metropolitan 220-yard champion; Clarence Sherman and Charley Dickey, and there is possibility that Cecil Cooke, Syracuse runner and national 440-yard champion, Roberts, the University of Iowa star, and several other men now in college will enroll in the club upon completing their courses.
The officers of the organization are: President, Hunter Johnson; vice-president, Richard I. Jackson, Jr.; secretary, Charles Dickey, Jr.; treasurer, George Williams; manager of publicity, DeHart Hubbard; committee on admissions, A. P. Portas and W. Jackson.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., April 4. The Morgan College Quintet rompad home a winner over the Buccaneers at Waltz Dream Hall Friday night, 24-13. The collegians showed a strong defense and powerful offense built around "Lanky" Jones. The Morgan quintet, however, is not a one-man team. With the Buccaneers covering Jones closely. Young and Payne outwitted the shore passers, breaking through for a quartet of double-deckers. Clark, on rapid assists, scored twice from the field, while "Lanky" was sentent with a trio of markers. The passing attack of the collegians was impressive, drawing the plaudits of the spectators.
For the locals, Knox at guard and Pendleton at center showed best, while neither scored from the field; Capt. Knox made a trio of points from the foul mark and was a whale on the defense. Pendleton, while in the game, held "Lanky" scoreless and intercepted many passes.

On Monday night, March 29 the basketball fans and sport lovers of Long Branch, N. J., were treated to a real exciting and interesting game of basketball, when the Buffaloes of New York City hooked up with the Atlas A. C., pride of Long Branch, at the Palace. The game was fast throughout, with the lead swaying from one team to the other, the first half ending 21-37. The passing and accurate shooting of both teams at the beginning of the second half had the spectators on their feet. With but a few minutes to play, the New York quintet took the lead and was never overtaken. The final score, Buffaloes, 57; Atlas, 53.

Chick Suggs Headlining Card at the Same Club This Saturday Night, When He Goes in Against Jackie Gordon in the Stan Bout of the Evening
THERE is a strong possibility that Tiger Flowers, the present world's middleweight champion, may have his path crossed by a member of his own race. If Robert De Keyser, former metropolitan amateur title-holder in the same division, who represented the Salem-Crescents in the simon pures, continues improving as he did when he defeated Paul Herman of Hoboken in their four-rounder at the Commonwealth last Saturday night, that specific thing might happen. It was Bob's first pro start.
Fine Bouts at the 156th Field Artillery Last Wednesday Night
Eddie Boyer, of 369th Infantry, Hung It Heavy on Jimmie Christie, of the 14th, in the Six-Round Semi-Final CHICK MORLANX of the Fourteenth Infantry, won on a technical knockout from Mickey McVeigh, of the
16th Field Artillery. Newburgh, in the fourth round of a scheduled ten-round boat at the 106th Infantry Armory last Wednesday night, when the up-State middleweight's seconds refused to allow him to come up for the fifth session. Morlano had a comfortable lead on points when the boat ended. He outsugged McVeigh from the opening bell and opened an ugly gash over Mickey's right eye in the first session.
The damaged opic bothered McVeigh considerably and, although Mickey's seconds doctored it at the end of the round, Morlano had little trouble re-opening the wound. The South Brooklyn boy added to Mickey's woes in the second session, driving home a left that cut the up-Stater's nose badly. McVeigh bolted out of his corner at the opening bell and landed the first few punches, but Morlano quickly showed him down. In less than two minutes after the start it was apparent that Morlano would have little trouble winning.
Though Herman put up a rugged, tough fight from the first round to the last and showed his gameness by coming up from a knockdown count of nine in the first round to stay on his feet and give and take on fairly even terms with the colored marbleite. Do Keyser packed entirely too hard a wallop. Both boys wingered the battle that pleased the good crowd that pleased the "now-talent" bill. The knockdown in the first round occurred when both dashed at each other, threw rights in their respective directions with Herman going down. Paul made an impression, but Do Keyser's form and punching power was in greater evidence. At 138, Do Keyser was three pounds lighter than Herman.
Almost as impressive as De Koevers' win was the one-round knockout Mitton Jampole, of the Bronx, scored over Phil Pittibaldi, of Harlem, in their scheduled four. The end came in 6.51 of the initial canto, and from all appearances Phil didn't have a turkey's chance on Thanksgiving to prevent being put on a pitch weighed 153. Pittibaldi, 1873.
The Seamon Bros. went away from the Commonwealth in a pretty happy frame of mind last Saturday night. Their new addition, Harry Traub, 115½, former Ascension Parish House and Holy Name Boys' club amateur ace, copied the verdict from Pete Ferry, 117. Fordham, who used to hold forth occasionally in the armories.
A four round draw that gave the fans considerable action, and was a fair one for four, between Al Mignog, 142½, of John and Jack Somers, 14, of the West Side. In fair four, Tommy Brady, 119½, of Brooklyn, grabbed the decision from Ralph Zeigler, 116½, of Washington Heights.

Eddie Boyer of the 369th Regiment, lightweight, knocked out Jimmy Christie of the Fourteenth in the second round of the scheduled six-round semi-final. Christie did not have much of a show with the chore'd boy, although he managed to open his first round. In the opening session, Fourteenth representative danced about like a puppet and succeeded in getting in some punches that made Boyer look rather foolish, but Eddie settled down to his work in the second round and drove home a few body punches that slowed his rival down to a walk. In a position where he could trade punches with Boyer, Christie was able and this he did, until Boyer finally battered him to the canvas for the long count.

SUGGS AND GORDON HERE SATURDAY NIGHT Former Salem Boxer Makes Impressive Debut
Chick Suggs Ready for Battle With Gordon
Click Sage, the greatest little piece of fighting machinery the colored race has turned out since George Dixon's days, who meets Jackie Gordon, the East New York star, in the main event of twelve rounds at the Commonwealth Sporting Club, in Harlem, on Saturday night, will shortly post $2,500 fortelt to bind a match with Louis (Kid) Kaplan, the feather weight champion. Suggs has been the most persistent buttam title chaser we ever had, of face of face he running Harry Willis, close toond. The latter has been trying hard to get Jack Dompsey to put an O. K. on a match. Chick has not only attempted to land the present title holder, Charley (Phil) Rosenberg, but also several of those who held the crown before.
Now, Chick realizes that he must wait awhile, but is determined to force the issue with Kaplan, who must defend his crown again in June, when his six months will be up. The last time the Meriden man faced his crown was when he boxed Babe Hermann in the New Garden. Therefore, Dave Luniansky, who manages Suggs, will file his claim before the boxing board shortly.
Sharing the spotlight with the Suggs-Gordon match is the twelve-round featherweight battle between Johany Flucci, the popular Harlemite, and Jimmy Sakamoto. Sakamoto's pect turned out in his neighborhood this year and looks like a sure thing to be in the big money very shortly.

BROWN, who is beyond a doubt one of the greatest exponents of the modern game in our race in America, is an asset to the community in which he plays, speaking from a tennis point of view, and while he does not dominate the game among us as Bill Tilden does in the white race, he is nevertheless an example for us to follow, and his style and technique are superior, best he has been teaching to teach others. This is not said us a boost for Brown, and it is quite possible that some will not agree with me because of personal dislike of him, but this is my opinion, based on facts alone, and to bring out the point involved.
THERE is no single achievement of note that New York can point to as a real progressive step in 1925. We tried to show the necessity of interesting the youngsters in the game and starting them in the right and modern way, thereby building for the future. We called on clubs, associations and individuals to inaugurate some movement towards those ends, but nothing was done. Outside of New York City it is a real pleasure to see the youngsters that are playing the game, and to see an exhibition of haute tennis for the New York City, the greatest city in the U. S., should be behind other cities is a puzzle to me.
But one ray of sunshine pierced our cloud of tennis darkness, and that was young Reggle Weir of the Ideal Tennis Club, who, under the guidance of Brown, improved 160 per cent over his 1824 game, but should like to see about a dozen or more such youngsters playing in New York City. This can be realized if we will be little less selfish and give a thought to the future of the game.
THE New York Tennis Association, who by all measure of reasoning should lead in any and all movements for progress in the game, by reason of their position as the ruling body of the sport in New York, is a highly impotent body and one over to try to enumerate their strengths, the most valuable that will help them accomplish and anything worth while. This is not said as a bitter criticism, but in an endeavor to rupture the complacency of their position.
THERE is something wrong with the association, whether they know it or not, and some way must be learned and put in on the way to progress. It is our opinion that they should make a change in their policy of making it a necessity to be a delegate from an associated club to be eligible for election to an office in the association. This policy narrows the field of candidates, and when the best qualified delegates decline to run for office, the organization is often forced to elect someone to hold well meaning men, with the result that another year slips by with nothing done.
WE feel that outsiders with real ability as leaders and builders, with personality and standing, can and should be recruited to lead New York out of her tennis mire and start and keep us on the upward trend of progress.
THE management of E. & S. Tennis Ass'n plans to start work this week in preparation for the opening of the season on May 1. Plans are in the making to start the season in a blaze of glory, and we are told, will the leaders informed as to developments. The ideal, too, we are told, will be opening soon, and have been making preparations toward those ends.

Royal Giants Did Not Allow Bushwicks to Strut Their Stuff
Royal Giants Did Not Allow Bushwicks to Strut Their Stuff
Nat Strong's Outfit Got All the Breaks and Copped From Dexterites by a 4-3 Score Sunday
IT WAS a dull and dreary Easter Sunday at Dexter Park Sunday. The Bushwicks had planned to show the customers the 'smartest things in singles, the very last sword in doubles, tres chic triples and hifalutin' homers, but the Royal Giants, a young gale and what is known as Fate in four out of every five movie subtitles prevented the exhibition. The score was 4 to 3.
The Bushwicks outfit the colored team, 8 to 6, but loosely fielding and opportune slugging give the utter the edge. All of the Bushwick blows were singles and Messrs. Holland and Redding, who divided the pitching chores for the Giants, kept them far enough apart to prevent damaging results. Jack McVoy, the Bushwick first sacker, was the chief offender in the fielding line. He made one costly error of the physical kind and was guilty of two mental blunders. The game was of a bad one considering the team's brand of weather which prevailed. Both teams went through their paces at a snappy clip and the result was a contest that was as well played as a midseason affair.
Manager Freddie Hohman worked the same trio of hurlers he used in the opening game two weeks ago. It proved too cold for Jack Warhop, who started the game by giving the Royals' four hits and three runs in three innings. The veteran's underhand delivery was frostbitten, and he retired in the fourth to let youth have its fling. Herb Steen got by without trouble in next three rounds. Carl Dietzen was touched for one hit and the winning run in the eighth frame. Dennoseh, the Woodhaven outfits' new centre fielder, corraled the new fielder fancy hitting honors, getting four hits in as many times at bat. Neither Hailand or Redding bothered him the least bit, but his pokes carried no demoralizing effect. However, this target work served to confirm the impression he made in his debut on opening day; Dennehue will not let many semi-pro hurlers look him.
Singles by Arlington, Dennehye and Spalding, with an error on the second named 'shit' by Rector, gave the Bushwicks their third run. The score:

THE magic of John Henry Lloyd as a manager was seen in the playing of the Lincoln Giants in their game with the strong Camden nine Sunday afternoon. April 4. Under Lloyd's leadership the Lincolnns are playing together as a team that bids fair to regain much of the lost prestige of former years.

Royal Giants Defeat Bushwicks Sunday
ley at third and the batting of Scott, they won a 9-7 victory. Scott has the honor of hitting the first home run of the season. He landed one over the right field fence, which gave his team a one run lead in the seventh inning. Finley prevented a score by making a star catch of a foul ball, retiring the side, and by his batting. Robbins not only pitched a good game, allowing only three hits in eight innings, but also drove in a score by hitting a two-bagger. From his work in the first two games of the season he will be the principal twirler for the Lincoln's. Despite the cold weather a good-sized crowd was present and enjoyed the batting spree of both teams. Next Sunday the fans will be treated to the first double header.

Coming of President of Howard to to B'klyn Church Recalls Old Days
Coming of President of Howard to to B'klyn Church Recalls Old Days
Stirring Times at Edifice Made Famous by Beecher Abbott and Hillis-One of the Few Churches Where Christianity Is Preached and Practiced
ANOTHER milestone in the history of old Plymouth Church — Henry Ward Beecher's church — was marked Easter Sunday when the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, pastor emeritus, preached what may be his last sermon there.
Dr. Hillis, third of a line of distinguished pastors who have filled the pulpit of the famous Congregational meeting house in Brooklyn for seventy-six years, has been ill for two years. His successor, the Rev. Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University in Washington, D. C., accepted a call to the pastorate a month ago, and has been preaching every Sunday, although he will not take over his duties officially until July 1.
LIGHT
Dr. Hillis returned last Saturday from an extended tour of South America, feeling sufficiently improved in health to preach his last sermon.
The history of Plymouth Church has been the history of three men. First the great Beecher, who came in January, 1850, an inspired young man who was soon to make his name resound throughout the land; then, thirty-three years later, Dr. Lyman Abbott, already well known when he stepped into Beecher's shoes; then Dr. Hills, who carried on from 1899 to 1824.
Church is Plain and Steepleless. The church itself is a plain red brick building with a shate roof and no steepe. It stands in Orange street, near Henry, and looks more like a barn than a church.
In traditions no church in New York or Brooklyn is richer. Its fame still attracts congregations from Long Island, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Abraham Lincoln worshiped there the day he made his speech in Cooper Union on "What the Fathers Thought About Slavery." Lincoln, towering 6 feet 5 inches, shared his hymn book with a five-foot usher, and together they sang "The Shining Shore."
On the church platform on a Sunday in February, 1860, Dr. Beecher sold at auction a nin-year-old mulatto slave girl, Sally Marla Diggs. The price was $800. Beecher told his congregation if it was not paid Sally Marla must be returned to her owner in Washington. More than $2,000 was raised and women threw their rings and jewelry into the contribution plate.
Beecher's Great War Sermon. Fourteen months later, when Fort Sumter had been fired on, Dr. Beecher preached his greatest war sermon. There are greater cells than war, he declared. Yielding rights, one after another, was worse than taking up arms in a righteous cause, he said. This sermon was quoted repeatedly during the war period. Dr. Abbott was in many ways the antithesis of Dr. Beecher. He was quiet and dignified, tall, slim and frail, with a high forehead. Beecher was broad, big chested and boisterous, intensely human and playful. Both alike were bold leaders of thought. Dr. Hillis, who was still another type, also became one of the most famous preachers in America, and his sermons have been widely quoted.
Dr. Durkee was born in Nova Scotia and was a boss carpenter in early life. He has held pulpits in Malne, Massachusetts and Washington, D. C., and is a man of strong convictions. Dr. Durkee is 59 years old.
Real Estate Course at Bedford Branch "Y"
On Tuesday, April 6th, at eight o'clock at the third session of the Real Estate course, Bedford branch Y. M. C. A., Brooklyn, Mr. M. C. O'Brien will speak on "The Building Manager." This course is being given by the Y. M. C. A., in co-operation with the Brooklyn Real Estate Board and under the supervision of a committee appointed by that Board. This committee includes Lewis H. Pounds, Chairman; James R. Fisher, Bruce R. Duncan, Frank H. Tyler, M. C. O'Brien.
Two hundred and twenty-five men from Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island and New Jersey have taken advantage of these lectures every Tuesday evening. Any man interested may attend any session by making application to the Educational Department of Y. M. C. A.
Gibbs Birthday Party
One of the most elaborate entertainments of the season was given by Miss Ada Gibbs in honor of her younger sister, Miss Elise Gibbs, in honor of her birthday on Saturday, March 27, at their residence, $0 Edgecombe avenue, New York City. The home was beautifully decorated, a five-tube radio set furnishing music for the occasion, and a fine buffet supper was served and a very enjoyable evening was spent.
The Misses Gibbs are socially prominent in this city. Among the many guests who attended were the Misses Mills, Winifred Galne, Irene James, Dorris Stephens, C. Brooks and Louise Rodgers: Meadames Ramos and W. Richard: Mossers. Ashton Blackman, Randolph Tyson, J. Stephens, R. Peters, J. Thomas, A. Thomas, V. Elridge, J. Lyton and A. Gibbs.
Grand Jury Indicts Brooklyn Policeman Charged With Assault
Patrolman Thomas McAuliff has been indicted by the County Grand Jury for an assault upon a colored woman, it was disclosed on Thursday.
McAuliff's indictment became known when an assault charge against him in the Gates Avenue Court was dismissed by Magistrate Golden on the grounds that the Grand Jury already had acted.
Mrs. Stella Benson of 1723 Dean street charges that on March 4 at Utica avenue, near Pacific street, she was accosted by McAuliff in civilian clothes who, she said, beat her.
Miss Cecilia Thouloho of 51a Utica avenue said she interfered and was insulted and punched by McAuliff. The policeman denied the charges.
On Tuesday a delegation of several hundred colored men and women went to Borough Hall, carrying banners protesting against alleged failure of the authorities to prosecute McAuliff.
McAuliff is 27. attached to the Flatbush precinct, and lives at 1235 56th street.

Suspicious Looking Bottle Holds Memories of the Past for Gillis
Suspicious Looking Bottle Holds Memories of the Past for Gillis
Haled to Court for Non Support, Judge Suggests He Is Xmas Tree Decorator
THESE modern times affect some people to a great degree, some of them being astounded by the fashions and doings of the younger generation and others mourning for the fashions and styles of the past.
William Gillis of 54 Prospect street, Jamaica, belongs to the later classification. His thought would never have come to life had it not been for the fact that his wife got a summons for non-support against him and enlisted the aid of a court officer.
When Jenny, his wife, and the officer came to the house they saw a whiskey bottle placed in a prominent position on the mantelpiece, but the contents could not be identified as a liquid from a distance, so the officer got curious and decided to have a closer inspection.
"Why, what in the name of prohibition is this?" exclaimed the officer.
"Oh; that's just a collection of a few things of the past," answered Gillis. "I kind of like to save them and look at them."
The "hooze" bottle was full of what evidently is intoxicating to Gillis. Inside, the light shone on wispes of long blonde tresses interwoven here and there with strands of auburn locks and other shades, including a shade of deep black curly hair, which was by far the most prominent in his collection.
Gillis will appear in the Jamaican Court this week to answer a charge of non-support. When the summons was asked for by Mrs. Gillis of Magistrate Gresser, the
Magistrate questioned her as to the nature of Gillis' occupation. Mrs. Gillis said that he did odd jobs and hadn't worked since last Christmas. "I guess you had better put him down as a Christmas tree decorator," said the Magistrate to the clerk.
Prominent Brooklynite Will Fight to the Bitter End
George Wibecan Will Go the Mat With Fred Moore in What Promises to Be a Hot Engagement.
The die is cast and New Yorkers will be treated to one of the bitterest fights when the bell clangs that will send Fred R. Moore of the New York Age and George Wibecan, for many years a political power in Brooklyn, to the center of the ring to engage in a contest that will not resemble anything witnessed around here in ages, since the man will even refuse to shake hands.
Counsellor Albert A. Levin of 215 Montague street, retained by Mr. Whecain to institute civil and criminal proceedings against Mr. Moore for alleged statements made at a public gathering and in the New York Age, of which Mr. Moore is the editor, refused to comment on the case, except to state that he was present preparing the necessary papers that will be the first move in behalf of his client.
Friends of Whecain, it has been learned, have gathered around the Brooklynite, urging him to stand firm and fight with every ounce of energy that he can bring to play in the case. At the same time, the editor of the New York Age gives one the impression that he will be found in his corner when the bell clams.
Brooklyn Y.W.C.A.
A program of unusual interest has been arranged for the Association Vesper Service this Sunday, April 11, at 4:30 o'clock.

Johnson and Gordon Singing Spirituals Triumph in Boston
J. Rossmond Johnson and Tayler Gordon, in the third of their series of Boston recitals of Negro prose, have a capacity audience, secured a attendance which moved the reviewer of the Boston Globe to most enthusiastically comment. It is reported that Boston Globe's reviewer, writes of their joint recital, said in part, " Their performance, like all truly great works, is based on verity and substance, and is an underground stream that exists in the universe and that, as a rule, we prefer to leave untapped." The emotion is so sweeping, so genuine, as that felt and imparted by these men, it is, thereafter, better, perhaps, to leave it. They did not to attempt analysis. Full performance is essential to the critical dissecting table and take exception to a real law here, an obvious邪恶 or modulation there, an客观 not too charming embellishment, as of "Steal Away to
"Listening, one felt that Mr. Gordon and Mr. Johnson really thought that it was they who stood up and said that he was equally sure that he himself was the one. Humor that has appeared in some of the spiritualists was wined by a flood of deep sadness," she wrote. "After an evening more spiritual than many church services, more dramatic than many plays, more musical than most concerts, more everyone in the audience who is not now eager for the speedy return of these artists."
A program of music appropriate for Easter was rendered in the authorization of the Y. M. C. A., 181 West 11th street, Sunday, April 14. Miss Olive P. Hopkins, whose singing is rapidly making her one of the most admired sopranos in the country, gave two groups, composed by the soprano, "O Lord Must Holy," by Franck, with a violin obligato by Miss Weing; "Ave Maria," by Gonnel, and "Hosanna," by Granier. Mr. J. Martio Brown capped the third number of his group with an antiphastic rendition of "In the Great Unknown," by Dardalot. Two selections, one, "On the Mount," by Dvorak, and the other "Joene Trouque," by Charlton, are normally offered by the accomplished pianist, Miss Andres Lindsay. Mr. Perry Rumon De Toro served as accompanist. The Grande was

Chauncey Northern
Gives Song Recital
Chaundge S. Northern, the young tourer, gave a song recital at Imperial Hall last Tuesday evening before a large and appreciative audience. He was accorded an ovation purely given a young artist startling out on a concert career. He appeared to distinct advantage as a singer, and gave a program which tested his powers as a cultivated singer from Griepleau, numbered from Griepleau-Schmidt, sonnet, Burleigh, Dovar, Duranta, Toselli, Pergolest, Ruchmanthoff and other well known composers. His foreign language songs were carefully done with a fine regard for diction and enunciation. His group of spirituals were effectively sung, and were given with a fine background of the message these songs have of the message has a voice of fine tenor quality, which has been well placed and toned down, and which he uses with intelligence and discrimination. He was assisted as accompanist by his sister, Miss Ida Northern, who gave sympathetic support and shared in the success of the recital. Northern is well known as a concert artist that offers in his repertoire a Yiddish number, which is sung much to the delight of Jews. He is a pupil of Leo Reins and Mme. S. L. Gitterman of the Carnegie studio. He is a graduate of Hampton Institute and for many years traveled with the Hampton singers.

Governor Gifford Pinchot Has Made Negro History in Pennsylvania
Governor Gifford Pinchot Has Made Negro History in Pennsylvania
Breaks Down Color Barriers—Recognizes Ability and Efficiency—Has Three Rare Appointments of Negroes to His Credit
No Governor of Pennsylvania in its whole history has broken the accepted color precedents, made political and human history and given fairer consideration to its citizens, especially those of Negro descent, as has the Hon. Gifford Pinchot since he became Governor by the 1922 election.
He began by making a plain, clear-cut and sincere statement of his attitude towards his fellow citizens of color during his pre-election campaign when he said in substance that he believed "in justices and in the Constitution and a Rockwell square deal for every person" regardless of race, creed or color.
After taking office Governor Pinchot showed his appreciation of the support he had received from colored voters of this Commonwealth and proved his estimation of character, ability and efficiency by appointing Mr. Ernest T. Atwell a member of the State Prison Board, a place which had never before been filled by a colored person. He gave Mrs. Maude Coles County Judge the name of Welfare Bureau under Dr. Ellen Potter, another precedent.
Justice is being practiced on account of color in any matter under jurisdiction of his administration, he has always promptly taken a hand and rectified the matter many times expressing his happiness by the fact that all citizens of this state shall be treated equally under the law, without regard to color, creed or nationality.
Governor Pinchot's most recent display of his feeling towards the Pennsylvania citizens of color was his attendance at the testimonial "Citizens' Banquet" at Knights of Pythias Hall, 15th and Addison streets, Philadelphia, March 19th, 1926, in honor of Commissioner Charles Fred. White and Magistrate Edward W. Henry, who happened to be a pioneer. No before in the State History.
Then Charles White, of Philadelphia was appointed to the State Athletic (Boxing) Commission at a salary of $5,000.00 per year, the highest salary ever paid by the state or any of its municipalities to any colored person in its highest authority in color discrimination, allowed any of the commission's activities. The citizens, white and colored, of the state who know the facts say and feel that the Governor has proven himself great by the manner in which he has backed up Commissioner White in his many contenitions for justice and fairness. At the end of his first term Mr. White was appointed by Governor Pinchot, without hesitation and with the comment that "Mr. White has made an excellent Commissioner and I would not think of removing him."
ORGANIZATION STUNNED.
This appointment so stunned the republican Organization crowd, who have always kept salaries of colored employees below the $2,000 mark and have rarely given them other than mental jobs, that they have never made jobs. Charles B. Hall, President of Philadelphia City Council and chief spouter for the gang, continues to cry out as a result of this shell shock that the state must be "rid of Pinchotism." Hall and his "band of brothers" cannot bear to see a man in command political position who believes in the just government. Governor Pinchot had not set the precedent so high they might have recovered. And upon the death of the late Magistrate Amos Scott, Governor Pinchot, at the suggestion of Commisioner Charles Fred White, refused to listen to the demands of certain white people and appalled him. Edward W. Henry, at $4,000 per year, to fill that unexpired term.

justice is being practiced on account of color in any matter under jurisdiction of his administration, he has always promptly taken a hand and rectified the matter, many times expressing himself publicly to the effect that all citizens of this state shall be treated equally under the law, without regard to race, creed or nationality. Governor Pinchot's most recent display of his feeling towards the Pennsylvania citizens of color was his attendance at the testimonial "Citizens' Banquet" at Knights of Pythias Hall, 19th and Addison streets, Philadelphia, March 19th 1926, in honor of Commissioner Charles Fred. White and Magistrate Edward W. Henry, two of Epstein's peers, have visited the State House and a governor so honored the colored citizen. The Republican Organization "big follows" keep always a buffer representative to send out on such occasions with the excuse that "The Mayor is sick," or "the Governor was called out of the state." But because he is sincere, Governor Pinchot did not hesitate, but said he would be there when Mr. White asked him to come—and he came about how he enjoyed it all the next day, as well as while he sat at the table.
GREETS WHITE'S CHILDREN.
One of the guests present that night remarked afterwards that the most beautiful and impressive thing he saw there was that the first governor Pinchot did upon entering the banquet hall was a little children, who sat at a table near the entrance. Upon hearing this Mr. White replied that Governor and Mrs. Pinchot have sent Christmas cards to his two little girls every year for the past three years and that both the Governor and his wife are most affable and democratic, most cordial and sympathetic, the most affectionate and have received autographed photographs from both of them and hold them in the highest esteem.
Mr. White is certain that with Clifford Pinchot elected to the United States Senate from Pennsylvania the cause of equal rights will not suffer as it has suffered at the hands of Senator Pepper and Congressman Vare, who have persistently refused to advocate confirmation of Negro appointees and the passage of the Anti-Lynching bill "if we do not support our proven policy, we deserve Mr. White, not deserve our consideration Governor Pinchot is our friend and believes in the enforcement of the 14th and 16 Amendments as well as the 18th. I am sure that he will be the next United States Senator from Pennsylvania."

FRANCIS APPEALS 2ND
CONTEMPT VERDICT
Rothschild Francis, Virgin Island's editor and legislator, has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and $200 fine for printing without comment a report of the American Civil Liberties Union's appeal in Philadelphia from his first conviction for contempt and libel. This verdict was handed down by George Washington Williams, district judge of the islands, whose appointment Francis had opposed and who was scored by the Philadelphia Court of Appeals for using libel laws to regulate the press. Francis, supported by the Union, has again taken appeal. The second contempt verdict is based, according to Williams, especially the following in the column of the American Civil Liberties Union report, which Francis published in his "Ennanchador": "Friends of Francis maintain that the real reason for his sentence by the Virgin Islands court was his opposition to Williams' appointment as judge."

Negro Scholar Receives Remarkable Tribute at New York University
Negro Scholar Receives Remarkable Tribute at New York University
Neval Thomas Opposes Statue to Confederate Leader in Statuary Hall
The students of New York University have discovered for themselves a piquant addition to the regular college course in listening to a Negro lecturer. Daniel H. Eckert, general secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., in a recent letter to this lecturer, wrote that "there have been many pleasant, inspiring and helpful reactions as a result of your recent address before the Social Problems Club at this university. You achieved your original thinking and helped students to do some original thinking along lines which are outside the usual curriculum. I congratulate you upon your "achievement."
The lecturer was engaged to deliver a lecture on "Science and Race Prejudice" and surprised the students by omitting all reference to the Negro problem, handling his subject in the objective manner of the scientist, and bringing to the bar of psychology and sociology all the proponents of race prejudice from Count Columbia, Fremont and Carlyle in the nineteenth century, to Houston, Chambleain, Madison, Grant, MacDougall, Stoddard and Wiggam in the twentieth. The students were so pleased that they at once invited the lecturer to address them the following week, when he chose for his subject, "Locarno, Imperialism and the League of Nations." The second lecture made an even greater impression than the first, and again he was reinvited to address which he modestly declined, playfully declaring that, if such invitations were kept up he would have to apply for an adjunct professorship in the university.

In a letter to the architect of the United States Capitol, Neval H. Thomas of Washington gives assurance that colored people of the country are unalterably opposed to the placement of another statue in Statuary Hall at the Capitol in honor of men who gave their supreme effort to destroy this nation. "Already," Mr. Thomas write, "the brilliant Robert E. Lee, who received His military training in the Union military academy at West Point and rewarded the splendid gift with treason, is honored by the presence of his noble likeness there among those of the patriots and other benefactors of the United States, the colored contributors omitted, of course.
"Now you are to install the status of Alexander H. Stephens, the Vice-President of the Confederacy, who wears the stain of helping to found the only government of the world whose sole purpose was the perpetuation of slavery.
"Mr. Stephens' whole life was given to principles at war with every sentiment of democracy for which we claim we stand. He opposed efforts of the Abolitionists and fought that inquisitive institution in order that the nation might live. He gave all of his genius to that spirit that murdered Lovejoy, assaulted Sumner, dragged Garrison through the streets of Boston, placed a price upon the head of Frederick Douglass, and brought a sorrow and suffering to millions of noble men and women in black.
"While in Congress he championed every demand of the slave power. In 1850 he supported Clay and Webster's compromise which turned over the far West to slavery and gave use the most infamous of the fugitive-slave laws. In 1854 he was the most aggressive leader in the House of Representatives in forcing the Kansas-Nebraska War, but Louisiana territory from which it had been excluded. "After the bloody Civil War, for which he was partly responsible, when he and others had been given for their treason, the ungrateful South sent him to Congress again, where he obstructed

A CLASSIFIED AD Is the Key to Everybody's Pocketbook
He is scheduled to lecture again at the university on Thursday, April 8, at noon, on "Is the Political Necessary?" In the meantime, the downtown section of New York University has heard of the special treats enjoyed by the section on University heights and has invited the section to address Tuesday, April 13, on "Science and Race Prejudice" at 1 o'clock. These lectures are also free to outsiders.
The unique fact in connection with all these lectures is that a black scholar, without even touching on the Negro problem, discusses with the authority of modern scholarship problems of science and international affairs, and is warmly welcomed and sought attentively. He is the intellectual cremum of the white race. It is hardly necessary to say that the lecturer is Dr. Hubert H. Harrison, whose outdoor and indoor talks in Harlem have been so highly esteemed that, as far back as 1915, James Weldon Johnson said of him: "Here is one colored speaker who, if he could be secured, would give a series of lectures that would be more than to appear at college and of incalculable benefit to the community." And since that time Dr. Harrison has gone on adding to his laurels and the scholarly repute of his race.
A public testimonial dinner to Dr. Harrison will be given at Craig's Restaurant early in May to mark the end of his fourth year as a staff lecturer of the New York University of Education along with professors of Columbia and New York University at the City College. Mr Percy E. Greene, chairman of the lecture course at the 1838 Street Public Library, is in charge of the arrangements for the testimonial dinner.
every wise measure of reconstruction statesmanship.
"But on his reappearance in the Congress against which he waged cruel war to hold black men in bondage, he was to meet black men in bondage and to blast them, they blasted all of his foolish and wicked notions of racial inferiority. On January 6, 1874, the gifted and devoted Negro statesman, Robert Brown Elliot of South Carolina, hurled an eloquent rebuke at his benighted opposition to Charles Tilghman, Bill a. Hill and humane piece of legislation calculated to square our practice with our preachments.
"Some of his apologists seek to save his memory by referring to his opposition to the secession of his state in the Georgia convention in January, 1861. But listen to his reasons: 'When we of the South,' he said in addressing the secessionist convention, 'demanded the slave trade, the importation of Africans for the cultivation of our lands, did the North not yield the right for 20 years?' When we ask asked for the support of Congress for our slaves, it was not granted. When we asked and demanded the return of any fugitive slave, was it not incorporated in the Constitution and again strengthened and ratified by the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850? When we have asked that more territory be added that we might spread the institution of slavery, have they not yielded to our demands in giving us Florida, Louisiana and Texas, out of which states have been carved an ample territory for four more states to be added in due time, if you do not by this amendment an ample and consistentcession this hope, and, perhaps, by it lose all, and have your last slave wrenched from you by stern military rule, as South America and Mexico were; or by the vindictive decree of a universal emancipation which may reasonably be expected to follow?
"Then followed his plea that the South had gotten more than its deserts from the Union, '64 years of southern presidents to their (the North's) 24; 18 justices of the United States Supreme Court of the North. It although forthright of the judicial business had arisen in the North; and the bulk of the Federal patronage. He was for the South and not for the nation. Our name of half should only include those who have served their fellowmen, for their example is the only one that can inspire others to noble action. The urge for the admission for these two statues springs from the unrepentant spirit that wants the nation to abstain that the South was right to abstain that the North. It knows that the cold marble can proclaim its cause, especially when it is placed in the very center and heart of government. The many

MOSCOW, April 6. — Solomon Abramovitch Lozovsky, general secretary of the Trade Union International, is urging organization members to assist in the inclusion of Negro workers in all forward trade unions, especially in the United States. Failing this, he may Negro workers should be organized into independent trade unions.
"In the United States they are eleven trade unions, comprising 436,000 workers, which reject Negroes as regular members." Lozovsky declared in a speech, "Even other trade unions which do admit Negroes treat them, as outcasts. If American trade unions refuse to admit Negroes we must not be afraid to create parallel Negro trade unions to compete with them."

What is to be the Ocean Grove of the South and the
largest Negro Chautauqua in the world has been established

Last War Aid to Negroes, Bishop Says
Last War Aid to Negroes, Bishop Says
PITTSBURGH, Pa., March 29.—"Negroes in both the South and the North have been benefited probably more than any other group of people by the World War," Bishop Matthew Clair of Covington, Ky., of the Methodist Episcopal Church, told the Washington Annual Negro Conference in session here last Friday.
"During the war," said Bishop Clair, "Negroes were invited to come North and take the place of laborers who were serving in the Army, and in the North they found better wages, schools and social conditions."
NO RETURN SOUTH.
"At the end of the war," he said, "the Negro did not want to go back South. His letters to friends in the South caused more Negroes to go North.
ed by the chorister of the Sunday School, Miss Minnie Brown.
P. R. R. A. Bolden was in charge of the overflow service at 11 o'clock.
M. L. A. Green, first vice-president, was in charge of the Epworth League services.
The church was beautifully decorated with Easter Eggs, cut flowers and potted plants by the Floral Circle Sales. Here was in charge of the
"The economic system, to which the South is accustomed, needs Negro labor for its support, and the disruption of this system is threatened by the migration that has taken place in the last few years. The large migration of Negroes has forced southern industry and southern communities to better the conditions under which the Negro works."
Thus, according to Bishop Clair, a delithe improvement of the Negro's condition has come directly out of the World War.
Reporting the migration and its effects on the South, Bishop Clair said that in a single district of 1,500 Negroes in Arizona, 800 went Negro within last year.
Within Bishop Clair's diocese is the Republic of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, and each year he makes a trip there.
UBERIA NEEDS CITED.
"Liberia," said Bishop Clair, "is a Negro Republic fashioned after the Government of the United States. Its officials are Negroes and it stands today as the only modern governmental organization independently ruled by Negroes. "At present there is no tendency for Negroes there to come to the United States because emigration from the republic is frowned upon and there is little tendency for those in the United States to leave for Liberia.
"The thing needed in Liberia to make the republic firmer is more schools, a better educational system and the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached and lived by clergymen and members of churches."
Mother Zion Church
The first Easter Festival in the New Mother Zion Church was fittingly celebrated by an audience of 5,000 on last Sunday. Overflow services were held in the Lecture Room at the Junior Church services. In spite of this, hundreds were turned away. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers, and sweet warbling canary birds joined with the choir in singing the glorious songs of the Risen Christ. Rev. Dr. Brown preached upon the subject "The Resurrection."
Prof. Nelson Williams spoke to the Junior Church congregation at 10:30 A.M.
Easter programs were rendered by members of the Sunday-school choirs in each department at 3:30 P.M.
Mr. George W. Hudges addressed the Lyceum on "Our Future Leadership" at 4 P.M.
"The Lord of All," a cantata, was rendered by the Christian Endeavor Choir, Mime, Georgia Berry, directress, at 6:30 P. M.
At $ 8 M. Dr. Brown preached an annual sermon to the Conchienna's Beneficial League, using as his subject "The Joy of Easter." They left a donation of $11.
"The Heavenly Gates Ajar" will be given under the auspices of the Zion Loyalty Club, Mrs. Rosa L. Davis, president, Thursday.
The sick of the parish includes: Caroline Reed, 259 West 129th street; Sarah Jones, 254 West 139th street; Gortrude Harleston, 212 West 129th street; Gertrude Twellman, 2400 Seventh avenue Ap. 11; Mary Seventh avenue Ap. 13; Robert P.

Watson, were re-elected for three years, and George Heartwell was elected to fill the unexpired term of the late Charles A. Davis. Other important business was also transacted.
Sunday, April 4, was a most eventful day in St. Mark's M. E. Church. Easter was fittingly and elaborately observed by the various departments of the church during the entire day. The day was used by the parish service of the Junie Church which was held at 6 A.M. The "Message" was delivered by Rev. R. A. Bolden, assistant pastor. The music was appropriate and sweetly rendered by the Junior Choir. The 11 o'clock service was so lovely attended that an overflow service was held in the Community House. The pastor, Dr. John W. Robinson, presched. His text was found in St. John X and latter clause of the fifteenth verse. "And Mary thought Jesus was the Gardener." Special music was rendered by their under direction of Choirmaster A. A. Jackson. Special Easter music was arrang-
led by the choriester of the Sunday School, Miss Minnie Brown.
Rev. R. A. Bolden was in charge of the overflow service at 11 o'clock.
Mr. L. A. Green, first vice-president, was in charge of the Epworth League services.

RUSH MEMORIAL
Easter Sunday was appropriately observed throughout the day. The main auditorium was beautifully decorated and a large, enthusiastic congregation listened attentively to the sermon on "The Resurrection of Jesus Christ" 1st Cor. 15:14. In this discourse Rev. G. M. Oliver proved that Christ is risen from the dead, and notwithstanding the thought of the Modernist to rule out Christ, or the supernatural. It has been proven that He being, with slims and rose for our justification. Dr. Oliver preached again at 3 p. m. His subject was "Victory Achieved Through Christ's Death." Isaiah 53:12.
Special Easter music was rendered by the Junior choir with Miss Elizabeth Wilkes, the solist. In the evening "The New Life," an Easter cantata, was presented by Jas, H. Rogers.

Boy Scout News
Well, well, I has the storm cleared away? I suppose that is what some boys, especially the New Yorkers, will ask when they see Troop 776 going to their hike tomorrow. So get ready by finding yourself a noise-proof house. You know, all the boys will be loaded down with signal flags, cooling supplies and firearms. Now boys, don't think that war has been declared and go hide under your bed, thinking that you will have to carry water for the soldiers.
I read an article in the Norfolk Journal and Guide about some Scouts in Norfolk, and it appears to me that, they are beating Manhattan Scouts.
Listen Scouts, next week tells the tale about that parade and theatre party of the cowpunchers.
I heard that Scoutmaster Perry of the troop is sick; so some of you Scouts should go and see him. He lives at 117 West 133th street.
Listen now, fellows, don't blame me if you don't see news about your troop in this column because it is up to you to send it to me.
Clang, clang, clang went the pots and pans at Troop 786 last Tuesday night! All the boys had their equipment. I thought they were going on a hike, but they

That better understanding and cooperation might be established between the donors and registrars of schools of higher learning for colored youth, and that greater sympathy and co-ordination might be brought about between them and the high schools, was the purpose of the conference of collegiate deans and registrars of Negro schools, held in Greensboro, N. C. on Friday and Saturday, March 26 and 27. Credit for the meeting is largely due to the Vision Initiative and industry of Dean T. E. McKinney of North Carolina A. & T. College, who called the conference.
That there was need for such a movement is indicated by the hearty response and co-operation given the promoters by the college officials throughout the country. More than 50 delegates were in college, and 27 institutions, from eight different states and the District of Columbia.

By WILLIAM PICKENS NOW and then the weary traveler runs person whose character reassure Christianity" is possible, that there as conscience, and that courage did not eighteenth century.
NOW and then the weary traveler runs across a white person whose character reassures that "White Christianity" is possible, that there is such a thing as conscience, and that courage did not die out in the eighteenth century.
Such a witness is the life and spirit of Robert T. Kerlin, now a professor in the State Normal School at West Chester, Pa. He was forced out of the state school at Lexington, Va., he kept, he attended to write the Governor of Arkansas that the twelve Negro peons of the Elaine rots ought not to be judicially murdered by that state. Of course, the Supreme Court of the United States decided two or three years later that was right—but, we suppose, that makes no difference to the Angry-Saxon clubs of Virginia.
lutely square deal to the American Negro in every sense and particular. He is a son of the exs slaveholding casta in Virginia. He was brought up on the idea that "We know the Negro"—but he decided early to learn something about colored people by reading their papers, and poem, building their talk and observing their life. Consequently, today he knows and can appraise Negro achievement and life with an authority and science to which only a few Negro leaders have attained.
Kerlin would not compromise in Virginia; he will not compromise in Pennsylvania. He has a wife, a real helpmate, and a brother, and promise—although they have three young daughters to educate, Katherine. Eisa and Constance. If it becomes necessary, they will accept with these children honor and affinity rather than easy position and dishonor. Kerlin believes in an abso-

"WHITE PRIMARY" BRIEF
SENT TO N. A. A. C, P.
Fred C. Knollenberg, Texas attorney, retained by the National Association for the Advancement of People to fight "white primary" case which will challenge before the U. S. Supreme Court the disfairness of college admissions in southern state in the case to the N. A. A. C. P. national office. The brief is now being stored in the office of the N. A. A. C. P. Arthur B.

He is a son of the ex-slaveholding caste in Virginia. He was brought up on the plant land. We with an Negro"-but he decided early to learn something about colored people by reading their papers and poems, hearing them talk and observing their life. Consequently, today he knows and can appraise Negro achievement and an authority and science to which only a few Negro leaders have attained.
We have always maintained that if real southerners ever get converted to the truth on the "Negro problem" one of them would be worth a hundred of their northern confessions by laying hold on they have more guts to fight for what they espouse, right or wrong. It is good to be right, but by God it is useless to be either right or wrong if one has not the guts to maintain his position. But although the North has more guts than the North, the latter is yet more civilized—although it is gradually slipping backward on the race question. Kerlin can still work in the North, though under great difficulties and dangers; while in the South he never again we fall to doubting as to whether or not all white people are "Christian" hypocrites and conscientious on race issues, we mean to jump on the train and run down to the seaside in regenerating day with the Lincoln-like spirit of Kerlin, and his wife and three normal children.

Uneasy Tight Feeling
"I used Theford's Black-Draught first for constipation," said Mrs. C. E. Buntin, of R. F. D. 5, Starkville, Miss. "I would feel dull, stupid, and have severe headaches, even feverish. I had an uneasy, tight feeling in my stomach. I read quite a bit about
BLACK-DRAUGHT
I began using it and soon my bowels acted regularly and was greatly relieved. I used it for about 18 years.
"About two years ago I lound I was having indigestion, a light smothering in acid, and I was especially after eating sweets. I commenced taking just a pinch of Black-Draught after meals, and by doing this I could eat anything." "I gave Black-Draught to my children for colds and headaches. I can certainly recommend it." Black-Draught is used, with satisfaction, by millions. Get Theford's.

WE ARE not so much concerned with the two babies found in an ash can in 132nd street a few days ago as we are with the conditions which caused them to be placed there. Their lives were forfeited so soon after they were born that they could not have suffered very much, if at all. Their Creator will take care of them.
BUT where is the mother of these twins, and where is the father? Does Harlem shelter them? Wherever they are their hearts are either burdened with grief, or will be ere long. They may never be apprehended and brought to justice, but the penalty for the murder of innocents must be paid.
THE SAD PART about infanticide is that only a few of those who commit this sort of murder are revealed; nor are their victims found in ash cans. Crimes of this kind, when practiced by the rich, those of moderate means, or the intelligent poor, rarely reach the
Colored Pioneers of American Independence
stage of the one mentioned above. These three classes secretly practise birth control or aborticide and get away with it, apparently at least; while the ignorant poor consign their unwelcome offspring to ash cans or the river. Ignorant of nature's laws, they do not know how to thwart pregnancy. Poor, they are unable to buy the knowledge.
By Lillian Lewis Feuratdo
For the National Equal Rights League
in the Sequentialennial Year (1926)
of the Signing of the Declaration of
Independence for the Enforcement of
1848.
From that moment the color-
ed soldier became a part of the
American nation, and played
his part in every strike for
freedom and equality that this
country has known. From
what moment? From the
moment Crispus Attucks fell
dead, shot by a British fell-
recoat, on King St., now State
St., Boston.
SOCIETY practices birth control but refuses to sanction it by law. Society practices abortion, but does not admit it as a part of ethical medical practice. Would a general knowledge of birth control methods reduce the number of infanticides, or would it act as a stimulant to unrestrained immorality and prostitution? All society must pay while these questions are being decided; and what is of equal importance, the decision must have weight with all classes of society—the rich and poor.
The story of Crispus Attacks should be a household one, how he became "the principal character in that bloody affair" of March 5, 1770. All the evening there had been clashes between the British soldiers and the patrols, the soldiers having been stationed in Boston to cow and insult the Americans.
These annoyances increased as the evening wore on and at nine o'clock clocks were changed and the civilians changed and as the crowd increased at Dock Square and King Street the bolls rang out. People rushed from everywhere and soon there was a big crowd at the head of King Street.

ACCORDING to a story sent out by the Associated Press from New Bedford, Mass., the Negro race may now boast of a full-iledged millionaire in Watt Terry, a large real estate owner of New York City and Brockton, Mass. It was in the last named place that Terry began his career twenty years ago, with fifteen cents in his pocket and his nerve. His story is then told in the following words:
Captain Preston's soldiers were threatening to fire and brandishing their arms, the Americans were daring them to fire and the soldiers thought they heard the order to fire, for suddenly a volley of shot rang out, and Crispus Attucks, who led the crowd to this spot, was shot dead.
The first blood was spit, the blood of a colored man who would not be a slave. This was the first martyr to die for Liberty and equality in America, for the Independence of the American Colonies soon to be declared. He was a real puttout and proved the freedom and equality. He proved it when the fires of manhood and equality, a living proof of the indisputable fact that all men are created equal, shot into flame, and he asked no leave of his master to be free but walked away, or ran away as they say, to take his place as a man among others to Boston from Framingham and joined in the affairs and events of the men of Boston.
Terry's father was emancipated when his son was about three years old. The father retained the name of his former master, a plantation owner who kept hundreds of slaves. The younger Terry and his brothers worked bare-footed on their father's small Virginia farm, which consisted of "a patch of corn and a patch of cotton." When their parents died, the children went to live with relatives. A distant relative in Brockton suggested that Watt come to live with him. An uncle in Norfolk, Va., lent him money for the trip.
Terry made his first money in the North by digging holes for fence posts. Later, he worked successfully as woodchopper, hostler and coachman, and finally became janitor for the Young Men's Christian Association in Brockton. Meznwhile he studied in classes at the Y. M. C. A. Later he sought to fulfill a long ambition to be a Pullman porter. He obtained a job, but soon gave it up because, as he explained, he didn't "want to take tips."
With Crispus Attacks there fell that day Samuel Gray, Jona Caldwell, Stuart Maverick and Patrick Carr. The first two were killed and the last two mortally wounded. They are all buried in one grave. In the Old Granary Burying Ground in Boston. Every year there are anniversary observances of the death of these murders at the graveyard and wreath is lined through the National Equal Rights League. PETER SALEM.
His first real estate deal was the purchase of a six-room cottage in Brockton. Soon he began handling real estate leases in the Negro community where he lived. He quit his job in a factory and started buying and selling real estate in earnest. A Brockton banker helped him purchase his first apartment house and with the success of this venture he began acquiring building after building.
Five years later another dark face comes on the scene of American struggle for liberty. This young man is Peter Salem, another slave in Framingham, who would be free, and walked away from his master and fought at the battles of Occupied Columbia and of Dunker Hill. He was unimpcious with his rite in the running fight of the former battle.
WE DOFF OUR HATS to Watt Terry. He is an inspiration. The Negro race needs more men and women of his kind.
He was the hero of Bunker Hill, when the hearts of the Americans were sinking with the prospect of rout and defeat before them, after a hard night's work fortifying Breed's Hill. It was a desperate battle between the redcoats and the puttees who lighted the Troops. When their powder was exhausted they fought the enemy hand to hand with clubs.
UNABLE to hang the defendants in the Sweet case together, an attempt will now be made to hang them separately. Unity saved them before and will save them now.
Peter Salem who had been one of the desperate fighters was on the alert when Major Pitcairn mounted the parapet of certain boats which boasted. Powder had run out, but he had just one round left, and as Major Pitcairn leaped to his position Peter Salem let go his round of ammunition and shot the British, mortally wounding attacking the British jubilation.
SPRING CLEANING is now in order.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Lowman says the Harlem Negro district is the only section of the city now being properly taken care of by new housing developments.
DEMOCRATIC New Jersey apparently is afraid to pass a Civil Rights Bill.
In the ranks with him was Salem Poor, who fought like a tiger. In fact, he fought so gallantly and so well that a petition to the general Court was made for recognition of his bravery and signed by the principal officers.
JUDGE ROSALSKY in General Sessions Court a few days ago opened a campaign on "policy players" by sentencing a man to the penitentiary for three years. The gambler, of course, was colored.
Not these two alone are mentioned conspicuously in that battle, but other colored men, among them Alexander Ames, Cato Howe, Seymour Burr and Titus Coburn. And yet another—the fifer and drummer, Burtzilla Lew, who kept up the courage of the soldiers by his playing of Yenakee Doodle. In fact Barzilla Lew played in many battle of the Revolution, and today his descendants in Boston and other cities in Massachusetts are honored citizens in the community. In
THE PHILIPPINE WAIFS we occasionally read about are none other than the illegitimate children of American sailors and marines, whose mothers have been deserted.
Story of Afro-Americans Who Helped.Bring About the Declaration of Independence and Then Make It Secure and Permanent
this battle, Samuel Lawrence, a prominent white citizen of Groton, Mass., led a company of colored men.
The spirit of 76 was rife in 75 and colored patrons and heroes in both North and South played their part in the leading up to the Declaration of Independence. This is a never to be forgotten fact—the spirt of independence not created by the toment of white patrons alone. It was the shedding of blood by all oppressed Americans; it was the agitation of and determination of all Americans to get the rights denied them that led up to the Declaration of Independence, which meant a complete overthrow of the English rule. It is the part that colored an inhuman and American life that interests us at this particular time, as 1826 is the Sequentialennial Year of the Declaration of Independence.
Two days before the Battle of Bunker Hill, George Washington had been made Commander in Chief of the American Army. When he took charge of his troops on Boston Common, he saw many faces of colored men upretained in the lines. He had no prejudice against them. They were American soldiers and that was enough.
Gen. Washington wrote to the President of the Continental Congress: "It has been represented to me that the free Negroes who have served in this army are very much dissatisfied at being discarded. have presumed to support the nation, respecting them, and have given license for their being enlisted." This was so different from Gen. States who had a disliko for colored people. He gave orders that among those not to be enlisted were "Negroes."
JORDAN FREEMAN.
Peter Salem shot Major Pitcairn and made the battle of Bunker Hill a victory-deefat. Jordan Freeman six years later performed a similar brave deed. He seized a pike when Major Monzgomery was lifted on the walls of a fort by his British soldiers in exultation, and pinned him to the earth dead. In this same battle at Groton, Conn, Sambo Latham fought desperately in company with Col. Leddy. But the patrons were eventually overpowered and massacred by the English. A monument has been erected to Col. Latham, the son of the names of the dead who fought with him are the names of the two colored heroes, Freeman and Latham.
The town of Framingham, Mass., has raised a monument to Peter Salem and the town of Lecester has placed a huge boulder monument where his domicile stood.
Besides Peter Salem in the battle of Lexington and Concord and subsequent battles there was a colored soldier, Henry Hill, who lived to be eighty years and died in Chillicothe, Ohio. Seymour Burr of Connecticut, he have to the battle of Auburn. Burr must several attempts to escape from slavery. His master, seeing this, freed him so that he could join the American army. He fought well and lived until the close of the Revolution, married an Indian woman, lived in Canton, Mass., and died there. He made a good soldier and recorded. BICHARD VENEI
There was another slave, Richard Venio, of Petersburg, Va., who was offered his freedom if he would fight under his master, a Colonel in the Army. He did so and at the close of the War the master went back on his word and refused him a coat. A good partner he took his freedom, his own hands and went to Baltimore where he married and took his wife's name in order not to be discovered and to hide his identity from Col. Taylor and called himself Richard Freeman.
When the Virginia Legislature passed the act freeing slaves who fought, he got his papers and his bounty land in Maryland. A grandson, James Venio, fought in the Civil War. All of this proves colored men helped achieve independence.
Not only in the North did we have patriots, but the South as well gave us some splendid heroes. The fearlessness of the colored soldiers began to attract attention and Henry
Laurens, ex-President of Congress, had written to Gen. Washington saying: "Had we arms for 2,000 such black men as I could select in Carolina I should have no doubt of success in driving them off. But I should have subdued East Florida before the end of July."
One hundred and fifty years ago black men were standing their ground in Georgia and Florida and the country was looking to them for so-called fifty years later they are looking to the country for gold support.
Gen. Lafayette had been appointed by Gen. Washington to take command of the army in Virginia, and Lafayette was beloved by the colored soldiers. A very interesting fact is the story of James Armstead who acted as a spy and scout for Lafayette. Young Armstead learned of a plot of Gen. Cornwallis, the British General, to surprise and defeat Lafayette and he gave immediate warning and frustrated the plot, and was fortunate to be present at the surrender of Cornwallis, Armstead was killed in a slur, and at the end of the War was in slur, a slavery, but, hearing of his bravery the Legislature of Virginia passed a special act that set' him free. Some of the masters in the South were willing to give up their slaves if they would fight, some were unwilling, and some promised them freedom and did not keep their word.
Forty years after the Revolutionary War a member of Congress from South Carolina said, speaking of the colored soldiers, "to their hands we are owing the erection of the greatest part of the fortifications raised in the country; some of which, particularly Fort Moultrie, gave at the early period of the inexperience and untrained valor of our citizens immortality to American arms"; and in the Northern states numerous bodies of them were enrolled and fought, side by side with the Union forces. Thus, though a great many of them were laborers, thousands of them were soldiers.
In the Virginia Legislature in 1782, at the close of the War, appreciation was shown of their services by the passing of "an act directing the emancipation of certain slaves who had served as soldiers in the state and for the emancipation of the slave Aberdeen." Did you ever hear the story of George Washington and Primus Hall, a colored body servant, lying down together in the straw and covered with the same blanket? It is a true story and happened in Massachusetts. George Washington, afraid to fall down and sleep with a colored man, today there is much fear entertained lest the twain of different two live under the same roof in separate apartments or on the same street in separate houses.
The people of Red Bank, N. J., love to tell the story of how those daring Rhode Island Regiments of colored soldiers walloped the terrible Hessians, a band of German soldiers the British brought over to intimidate the Americans, and played a heroic part in the War. There was a disastrous battle fought at New York, and you know the story of bones of colored men still lying under Broadway in New York—bones of the heroes who fought in battles on Long Island and in New York. These two Rhode Island men displayed ferocious bravery and enthusiastic defiance in their engagements with the Hessians, which is worthy the highest praise and most grateful remembrance. They numbered 1,500 men.
There were altogether about 5,000 colored soldiers in the Revolutionary War, both free colored people and slaves, and they usually served in regiments with white soldiers and were scattered all through the army. Sometimes the slaves took the field instead of the master and showed that their valor was equal to that of their master.
Not only did colored Americans thus help establish the Declaration of Independence but in the War of 1812 with England they helped win the victory for America which made the Declaration secure and permanent. It is well established that many colored soldiers and especially sailors fought in the second war with England—In McKenzie's Life of Commodore Perry, Col. Croghan says about. 1 in 10 of crowns were black. Comm. Chancery wrote to Perry: "I have nearly 50 blacks on this ship. They are among my best

Diet - For the Tubercular Person
TUBERCULOSIS is still prevalent among the Negro population of the United States. A marked reduction in the death rate has been made in the year 1922, through health education, municipal and state sanitation, but, with the large migration to the Northern cities and colder states which has occurred during the last nine months of 1923, tuberculosis, I fear, will show a marked increase. It is therefore imperative to push the fight against this dangerous malady. Diet is an important factor in this fight.
What to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat are important points in the treatment of people suffering with tuberculosis. This is so because tuberculosis is a wasting disease, and, by means of the proper nutrition, the tissues of the body are constantly repaired and the strength of the stick one is not utterly lost. It is the foundation of the superstructure of treatment.
those suffering with active symptoms of tuberculosis, should not eat "any and everything." At one time medical teaching was the rule of "forced teaching," making the patient eat plentifully and often; plenty of meat, four five quarts of milk, five or six eggs a day. This through experience has been found to be wrong. The rule today is to lessen work and exercise—the patient needs rest and
Tubercular people, that is,
men." Rossis Johnson in
History of War of 1812 says
that many of Perry's men were
colored, especially at battles of
Lake Erie and Lake Cham-
plain decisive naval battles of
the war. Many famous war
images show them.
Cong Martindale of New
York in 1528 said: "Slaves,
or Negroes who had been, were
enlisted as soldiers in the
Revolution and I myself saw a
battalion of them attached to
the Northern army in the
war of 1812-1815 on the march
from Plattsburgh to Sackett's
Harbor, an important land
battle." But all the world
knows that 500 colored fought
and helped in the Battle of
New York, for Gen Jackson
officially appealed to them and
then again officially praised
their valor.
This little treatise is designed to shed light upon facts that are often obscured or hidden in historical sketches lest too much emphasis is laid upon the importance of the colored soldier in the wars of independence.

LAND BANKS
FOR AFRICA
WASHINGTON—The establishment of Government land banks for the natives of West Africa is being advocated by influential Englishmen, who believe that such substantial aid will advance the projects already planned by the English Government for the further development of its vast African possessions.
In a recent issue of "West Africa Weekly newspaper published in London, a special correspondent describes that the African is awakening under the impulse of education, and that in some parts he is eager for education to a degree that would astound many Europeans.
those suffering with active symptoms of tuberculosis, should not eat "any and everything." At one time medical teaching was the rule of "forced teaching," making the patient eat plentiful and often plenty of meats, four or quarter of day's meal, three or four eggs. This with experience has been found to be wrong. The rule today is to lesson work and exercise—the patient needs rest and quiet—either in the open air or in a bright, properly ventilated room, and thus the wasting of tissues is reduced and the intake of a large amount of food is not necessary. TheACHACA residues are thus not overburdened and set as is so frequently seen in many cases of tuberculosis in which "forced feeding" has been resorted to.
In the matter of diet, it is not how much we eat, but rather how much of the food taken is digested and assimilated. Every patient is a unit to himself. In some the digestive organs work better than in others, and therefore the amount of food eaten depends upon the efficiency of the stomach, the intestines and liver of the particular patient.
The rule is to avoid constipation; partake of a diet, varied in character, containing the essential elements of food, which are proteins, carbohydrates, fats and salts. As a pre-meals day as in normal health is sufficient.
Quite often digestive disturbances occur. Then it is better to give food more often, but in smaller amounts.
The proteins necessary can be obtained from beef, mutton, lamb, poultry, eggs, fish, oysters, milk and cheese as well as from peas, beans and other vegetables. Do not force too much of these foods, for if they do not thoroughly digest, putrefaction occurs and absorption of this putrefactive polson disturbs the system. Fats are very important in the diet of a tubercular person. These can be obtained from butter, cream, fat meats, bacon, fish, nuts or vegetable fats. In my experience I have found that people who need food for the one who dislike this form of diet. So these tubercular patients dislike fats. If they will believe that fats are most important in helping them to overcome this disease, it is surprising how they can develop a liking for them. Do not eat fat in excess, but make it a part of the mixed diet.
Carbohydrates or starchy material of foods must not be neglected. The chief sources of this form of food are obtained from cereals, potatoes, bread and sugar. Salts are necessary. We find these in fresh fruits and vegetables and to some extent in cereals. They are known to exert a special influence upon the metabolism of the body. They stimulate growth, they help the digestion and prevent infection. These are found in the outer coating of grains, in fresh fruits and vegetables, in eggs, nuts, raw oysters and clams.
Milk and eggs must not be relied upon as the chief elements in the diet of tuberculosis. They are often digested in foods, but to try on them only and discard the other elements of food is from my experience, bad treatment.
Water is very necessary, especially if there is a fever. Water taken in the proper amounts flushes out the system, dilutes the circulating polysons and aids in preventing colonization. The diet, then, in a consumptive is most important. Watch the digestive system. Give a mixed diet, and remember that everyone is a law unto himself. If the patient is gaining in weight, then his nutrition is right; if he is losing weight, his nutrition is wrong. Implications are developing. The diet must be attended to with care and reason and the physician must be the guide.
