AWAITS KLAN WITH GUN KILLING OF DEFENSELESS MOMENTARILY EXPECTED A. STRANGER? If you're a stranger in New York and want a room --- a nice comfy room, right away. Now, how can you get the right room right away? Why, by reading the FURNISHED ROOM COLUMNS ---- of ---- THE AMSTERDAM NEWS Dabney's Cincinnati's Colored Citizens "HOME, SWEET HOME" means something to Wendell P. Dabney, veteran editor of the Cincinnati Union, and public-spirited citizen for many years, of Cincinnati, chief metropolis of southern Ohio. Mr. Dabney has taken the time, the care, and the effort necessary to produce a volume setting forth the history and the achievements of "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens," because, says Mr. Dabney, "such information. I felt, would go far to eradicate much of the prejudice against us, that owes its origin to the ignorance or superficial knowledge of our white citizens." Further on, in his preface, the author says: "I have strayed far from the cold, formal, stereotyped historical volume in efforts to show the soul as well as the body of a people who are so little known, so little understood and for so many years so much oppressed because of such misunderstanding." Thereafter follow more than four hundred pages of absorbing facts, opinions, and descriptions, historical and otherwise, of the development of the colored wing of Cincinnati from "prehistoric times" to date. The advancement of the Cincinnati Negro, as described by Bibney, is indeed amazing; and it is only upon coming face to face with proofs of the race's growth, not only in Cincinnati, but everywhere that we can fully appreciate the silver lining of the cloud which has hovered over us for so long. From slavery to complete and composite representation in every activity of a great American city is the answer Cincinnati has made to the challenge of the "supremes." So has New York, Chicago, Kansas City, Atlanta and every other urban center. Given a full chance, the Negro has made full advance; given half a chance, he has made three quarters advances, and given no chance, he has made half advances. This is the answer to the sordidness of the South, and it will prove itself decade after decade, generation after generation. Wendell P. Dabney has done his city, his State, his people, the nation and himself a signal honor by his worthy volume, "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens," which may be probably read, not only by Ohioans, but by the world."

TO "BREAK THE BONDS" Patronize Only Stores Employing Negroes COMMERCIAL SCHOOL HEAD ESCAPES JAIL WIFE OF R. W. JUSTICE HAS HIM SUMMONED TO COURT Says He Dragged Her From Theatre and Beat Her—Couple Separated for About a Year—School Head Barely Escapes Jail The family troubles of Robert W. Justice, head of the New York Academy of Business, 477 Lenox avenue, were aired in the Washington Heights Court Monday morning when he was arraigned before Magistrate Abraham Rosenbluth on a summons secured by his wife, from whom he has been separated. Mrs. Justice, explaining her complaint to the court, said that her husband dragged her out of a Seventh avenue theatre into the lobby, twisted her wrist and slapped her in the face. Dressed modestly in a garb of dark blue, she told of the assault in a delibrate and composed manner. Anxious to refute what the complainant was saying the attorney representing Mr. Justice interrupted her several times which caused Magistrate Rosenbluth to rebuke him. In telling the court the story of the defendant the attorney for Justice denied the charge made by Mrs. Justice. While walking down the avenue, (Continued on Page 11.) MRS.

THOMAS, Virgin Islands, April 28—Rothschild Francis, editor of The Emancipator, a vigorous newspaper, who has been a strong critic of the present system of government in the Virgin Islands, has been convicted and sentenced to prison for one year on a charge of embezzlement. Francis has appealed the case. In 1824 Francis published a criticism of the police and Federal Court of the Virgin Islands, as a result of what he termed the "brutal" quelling of a street fight in St. Thomas. He was sentenced to 30 days' imprisonment and $100 fine for contempt of court and 30 days' imprisonment for libel on a policeman. He appealed. In February, 1925, the Circuit Court of Philadelphia, which heard the appeal, affirmed the contempt sentence, but set aside the libel sentence. Francis based his fight on a "free speech" issue.

CARTERET, NEW JERSEY, SEETHING CALDRON FOLLOWING THE MURDER OF WHITE PRIZEFIGHTER Mob of Whites Set Fire to First Baptist Church—Employment of Negroes Believed to Be Underlying Cause of Disturbance Inflamed by the murder of John Carroll, a local white pugilist, and the stabbing of another white man in a fracas early Sunday, a mob of white men gathered Monday in Carteret, N. J., and descended upon and fired a church and drove more than 100 men, women and children from their homes in the section nearby. The residents were escorted by the mob to the line of Woodbridge and forced over it, with the command that they keep out of Carteret. Many in the mob were masked, some with white and some with colored handkerchiefs. Many also were armed with baseball bats and clubs, and several men who protested and attempted to resist eviction were struck and slightly injured. None were badly hurt. The mob swept out the entire population of the settlement. The building fired was the First Baptist Church, a long, low frame building situated in a field known as Steinberg tract, where no streets have been cut through. It blazed up vigorously and was almost destroyed before firemen succeeded in putting out the flames. No effort was made to fire any of the dwellings. The conflict and Sunday's slaying are believed to have been the result of ill feeling between the two races which has been duo in part to resentment by the whites at the employment of Negroes in local industries. The attack on Carroll and his companion, Ralph Johnson, apparently grew out of this bad feeling. The two had left the plant of the United States Metal Refining Company about midnight or a little after. They were walking home (Continued on Page 11.)

Last February, Frank Schiffman, owner of the theatre, claims that Scott took the tickets from the box office. It is alleged that Scott realized nearly $1,000 from the sale of the tickets. Scott was not arrested until April 22. When the defendant was first arraigned in the court, he was held without ball by Magistrate Oberwager. After it was found out by the authorites that he did not have a criminal record, Scott was released on ball. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1926 2ND SWEET TRIAL BEGUN IN DETROIT; DARROW IN CHARGE Separate Trials for All Eleven Defendants—Attorneys Seek Unprejudiced Jury DETROIT, Mich., April 26.—The second Sweet trial is now under way in Detroit, with Clarence Darrow and his associate, the famous Michigan criminal lawyer, Thomas F. Chawke, and also Julian Perry, defending Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, Mrs. Sweet and nine others charged with murder because of the death of a man during a riot outside Dr. Sweet's home on Sept. o last. Separate trials have been granted all the defendants and Dr. Sweet's younger brother, Henry, is the first one of the cloven to be tried. At latest reports, despite the calling of a special panel of 125 jurors, a complete jury had not yet been obtained, and the special panel had been exhausted, most of the jurors admitting prejudice and being excused from serving. Another panel of 125 men is being called. The Detroit "Free Press" reports: "Clarence Darrow, chief of counsel for the defense, made it clear during the questioning of a prospective juror that he wanted the case tried by men who had spent their lives north of the Mason-Dixon line and were free from race prejudice. Darrow holds that the outcome depends primarily on the personnel of the jury; that the factors are entwined in the race problem and he wants a jury sufficiently open-minded and intelligent to grasp the psychological aspects of the case in its relation to the Negro citizen and mob violence. Aftermath of Raid on Mrs. Garvey Aftermath of Raid on Mrs. Garvey (Continued from Page 1) by Mrs. Garvey and Joseph Frazer, who was named as co-respondent in a divorce suit started against her by her husband, Marcus Garvey, and charged with disorderly conduct. The complainants said that they had been badly beaten by the raiding party, after Frazer's hands were tied. At the end of the nearing, during which several of the witnesses testified for the agency, Magistrate Simpson told Mrs. Garvey and Frazer he did not believe their story and dismissed the complaint. It is said that this was the most interesting and amusing case that has been tried in the Heights Court for some time. The merciless cross-examination by Mr. Kohn of Kohn & Nagler, 36 West 44th street, attorneys for Mr. Garvey and the detective, shattered the flimsy story of Mrs. Garvey and Frazer, who said that at the time of the raid they were engaged in writing a book. Both complainants admitted that they were undressed and asleep at the time the raiding party dropped in, so the court did not quite un- derstand . where the book part came in. The hour was 3 a. m. Mr. Frazer explained the dark secret when cross-examined by Mr. Kohn. Frazer said that he is a Pullman porter, but was assisting Mrs. Garvey with her book as a side line; that after he was somewhat tired out by his literary efforts, Mrs. Garvey complained of not feeling well, so he decided to stay overnight and act as "substitute nurse." At this point everyone in court laughed alound, and the judge rapped for order and threatened to clear the court. Another embarrassing moment for Mr. Frazer came when Attorney Kohn asked him to give the names of any other married women he had assisted in a literary way while undressed and in bed. Frazer gave the name of a Boston woman.

Passes Our Door SEPARATE BATHING BEACH BILL PASSES SENATE Royal Copeland, New York's Tammany Senator, Puts O.K. on Jim Crow Appropriation WASHINGTON, D. C., April 26.—At the request of Senator Overman, Democrat, of North Carolina, the Senate accepted an amendment specifying that one of the proposed bathing pools authorized by an appropriation of $345,000 should be for colored and the other for the white population. This amendment will necessitate sending the bill to the House for concurrence before it is transmitted to the President to be signed. The bill originally provided for two pools, but did not definitely state that one should be for colored people, although it had been generally understood that that was the plan. It will still be necessary to have the appropriation made in an appropriation bill, but the measure just passed establishes the legislative authority. Whether it will be possible to have this item inserted in the last deficiency bill before Congress adjourns was not known today. In the report made to the Senate by Senator Copeland, acting for the district committee, the need for this legislation was summed up as follows: "The need for public bathing facilities in the District of Columbia is beyond question." With an urban population exceeding half a million people, living in a climate subject to extremely long and not summers, there are available for public use only three very small artificial pools on the Monument grounds, which are wholly insufficient, even for the children. Sanitary surveys have conclusively proved that the Potomac River is polluted to such a degree that it is unsafe at all times for public bathing. Nevertheless, it as well as other polluted streams in the vicinity of Washington are used to some extent for unsupervised public bathing, with the result that no less than 20 fatalities from accidental drowning occurred in a brief period in 1825. "The estimate on which the authorization for appropriation is based contemplates two large bathing beaches or pools, one intended for the large population, the other for colored, sufficient, respectively, for 2,000 and 1,000 bathers at a time. Beaches, or pools of the type on which the estimates are based, are in use in such cities as Baltimore, Cleveland, Chicago and a number of other cities. "It is intended to use city filtered water, the amount taken from the mains to be reduced by apparatus which will withdraw water from the pools, purify it, and return it to the pool, providing this is demonstrated to furnish proper purity for bathing." The report also points out that these pools can be used for ice skating in winter. JANITOR STABBED FOLLOWING DISPUTE Samuel Stevenson, janitor of an apartment house at 865 West 180th street, was stabbed in the right cheek and tongue Sunday night in his apartment. Dr. John McKeown of columbus Hospital put two stitches in his cheeks. According to detectives of the Wadsworth avenue station, Stevenson had a dispute with his wife, Jane, but Stevenson refused to make a complaint against her. No arrest was made. RAID Drunken Man Had Loaded Revolver Fires at Man He Claims Was Interfering in Love Affair A sweetheart, a drink of whiskey, and a loaded revolver landed Mayfield Lowry, 29, a doorman, 31 West 135th street, in jail Monday. Lester Trent, a laborer, of 35 West 135th street, was the victim of Lowry's made attack. He was standing on the stoop in front of the apartment building where he lived when Lowry came up to him. Intoxicated and angered over the fact that he suspected Trent of contriving him for the affections of his girl, he began abusing him. Before the complainant could make any sort of an explanation, the prisoner pulled out an automatic revolver and fired point blank at Trent, the complaining witness testified. Trent jumped and the bullet missed him. His assailant then fled. Running down the street, Trent met Patrolman Hory of the 135th street station, who quickly picked up the floeing man's trail. After wrestling with the prisoner for several minutes, the patrolman was able to take him to the station. When Lowry was tried by Magistrate Rosenbluth, he was held without ball for Special Sessions. MRS. TODD DIE8 AT 102 Mrs. James Todd, 102 years of age, died Friday at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. George McDermon, 137 West, 163th street. Wrs. Todd was a native of Virginia.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1926 Housewives Aroused by Fake "Sales' The individual consumer, and especially the housewife, has awakened to a realization of his or her interest in the suppression of fake bargain sales, says Edmond A. Whittier, secretary-treasurer of the American Fair Trade League, in a bulletin notifying League members that hearings on the Capper-Kelly Bill began before the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce on April 22. "The interest of the general public in this bill," says Mr. Whittier, "lies chiefly in the fact that it seeks to protect consumers against deceptive 'combination selling' which, under the gulse of offering well known standard merchandise at 'cut prices', gives the 'bargain sale' operators an opportunity to dispose of untrade-marked and unguaranteed goods at an exorbitant profit. The purpose of the bill is to promote the law, to promote equality thereunder, to encourage competition in production and quality, to prevent injury to good-will, and to protect trade-mark owners, distributors and the public against injurious and uneconomic practices in the distribution of articles of standard quality under a distinguishing trade-mark, brand or name." "The fixing of a date by Congress for public hearings on this proposed law is additional evidence of the present tendency to free business from trksome restraints imposed during the period of exaggerated Federal regulation of trade, which reached its height just before the war. Through such restrictions the manufacturers, jobbers and retailers of the country seek to have restored the right of contract to prevent misuse of popular trade-marked merchandise as fake bargain sale bait, a privilege of which they were deprived by erroneous judicial interpretations of the anti-trust laws. "While several bills introduced for this purpose have been before Congress during the past decade, the approaching hearing will be the first one granted on such a basis since the war. Shortly thereafter the American business seemed about to be relieved of these restraints by Congressional action, but since then unsettled commercial conditions have caused postponement of this remedial legisla- MARY C.

Meanwhile conflicting court decisions have so confused the legal situation that no business man, lawyer or court seems able to define the law. At present the merchants and manufacturers of the country do not know how far they may go in protecting themselves and their customers against the theft of trade-mark good-will. A solution is imperative. "A recent referendum by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States showed a majority of the local Chambers of Commerce and sectional and national trade associations to be for the bill. With one or two exceptions the great national trade associations have long been on record in favor of these price standardization. The directors of the Merchants' Association of New York recently endorsed the principles of the Capper-Kelly Bill with only one dissenting vote. "Until a comparatively short time ago the fight against the fake 'bargain sale' interests was carried on mainly by manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, through their local and national organizations. But during the past year members of Congress have heard from local commercial and professional bodies representing the individual buyer, in a way which proves that the consumers of the country have recognized their interests in this struggle. The change in this strategy has been astonished by the increasing boldness of the 'bargain sale' promoters and a growing understanding on the part of housewives, who do nine-tenths of the retail buying in this country, that the trade-mark of a reputable manufacturer is their best protection."

Vocational Guidance Sorority Campaign On According to its constitution, one of the purposes of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, the oldest Greek letter organization among Negro college women, is "increasing educational efficiency." In furtherance of this idea, the sorority conducts each year, through its various chapters, a vocational guidance campaign, the promotion of this campaign is in part to encourage high school girls to remain in school and in particular to advise them in the choice of and preparation for their life's work. Each spring for several years Alpha Kappa Alpha has held three meetings with high school girls of the city. At the first of these meetings women, representing many professions, spoke about the importance of their respective lines of work. At the second meeting the girls were divided into interest groups and members of the sorority talked with them and advised them about choice of vocations. Some form of social entertainment usually made the third meeting. This year it has been to try to increase the number of luncheon, to be held on May 8, at the Y. W. C. A. A. Miss Frances Grant, Phi Beta Kappa member of Alpha Kappa, who is at the head of the English department at Bordentown Industrial School, will be the speaker. As in former years the local council of the sorority are conducting literary and art contest in connection with the vocational guidance program. Prizes will be awarded at the luncheon on May 8 How She Got Rid of Rheumatism Knowing from terrible experience of suffering caused by pneumatism, Mrs J. E.

And to this end, at a recent meeting a drastic ruling was put into force that will materially affect lagging league members. It was unanimously passed that no club in the circuit would be eligible to compete in the world's series as a league representative and will also reliquish all claim to second or third money if they fail to compete in at least fifty league games during the current season. The present ruling is the outgrowth of a general feeling of dissatisfaction among member clubs effecting a choice of playing dates and drawing to narrow confines the number of games that will be accounted for at home by the respective clubs.

It was unanimously pcuit would be eligible to con a league representative and v second or third money if the fifty league games during the ruling is the outgrowth of a tion among member clubs effect and drawing to narrow confi will be accounted for at home As in former years, the league is busing its layout on a 70-game schedule. In all prior seasons some of the clubs were short on their total of games for the season. Taking into consideration the fact that some of the clubs are operating in leased parks and those parks are available only when the other league club is on the road, also that other clubs are what might be termed established Sunday clubs, playing only this one day a week at home, and furthermore two clubs are travelers without any parks, it presents a rather complex situation that will take a bit of time and also finance to adjust. For this reason the league commissioners see sound judgment in permitting reasonable adjustments to the league schedule. However, with all of the clubs voicing their sentiment as 100 per cent for organization and realizing it is the one solution to perfect and perpetuate baseball for the race, it is a foregone conclusion that each club is going out with the intention of playing the allotted number of games. When better ball parks are built for our clubs to perform in and when our players can be offered inducements (that will) in a way meas up to salaries that are now being received by white players, organized ball along will develop these much desired and well-merited conditions. Now that most of the Eastern league clubs have broken into the sport sheet with box scores of preseason games played with various clubs, the over-watchful fan is able to size up the line-ups from fanfliar names and upon players' past reputations. But with many of the league players scattered during the Winter the preseason games were played with makehift line-ups and the real strength of the respective clubs were not present. The Baltimore Black, Sox started without George Britt, Comnie Day, Crush Holloway or Tarleton Strong in their ranks. These men are really half of a strong ball club. The Lincoln Giants played without Orville Singer or Robert "High Pockets" Hudspeth. The Royal Giants have played Bonnie Wilson and George Scales in Brooklyn uniforms and both of these men are property of the new Newark Club. Hilldale, Bachmachs and Harrisburg Giants have also lined up against strong write clubs. Newark and the Cuban Stars have not yet broken in with box scores. The Cubans are slated to pry open the season with Baltimore May 1 and left Havana April 26. Pompez, the Cuban owner, says that his club has been playing on the islands and as soon as they get over the effect of their journey, they will be ready for action. N. J. Tennis Association Elects Officers for 1926 The annual meeting of the New Jersey Tennis Association, Inc., was held on Monday evening, April 5, 1926, at the Ellis' Home, Jersey City, N. J., as guests of the Musolit Club of that city. The annual reports of the officers were presented and showed the association to be very strong both numerically and financially. Nearly every club had its representatives present. The ratings for the season of 1925 were adopted. Printed copies of the Constitution, By-Laws and Rules of Eligibility and Rating were distributed. After closing the business for 1925, officers for the present year were elected, and committees appointed. The officers elected and the chairman of the various committees were: *President, Lester B. Granger, Bordentown, N. J.; vice-president, Ernest A. Robinson, Asbury Park, N. J.; recording secretary, Dudley A. Johnson, South Orange, N. J.; financial secretary, Mrs. Bertha Soley, Mountclair, N.

The New Jersey Tennis Association, which was organized in 1923 and incorporated the same year, has had but one president, Mr. Lester R. Granger of Bordentown, N. J., has been re-elected every year to that position. It was the unanimous opinion of the delegates that no one in the body had achieved and was capable of leading the courtsters of New Jersey as Mr. Granger. It was through his untiring efforts that the national tournament of 1925 was the success it proved to be. Mr. Granger is also a member of the executive committee of the American Tennis Association. Tentative plans were made for the coming season, several fixture dates were applied for. The New Jersey Association is making plans to stage the eastern sectional championships the week of July 26 at Pordentown, N. J. The next meeting of the N. J. T.

Members of the 100th New York Infantry Athletic Club have requested entry blanks for the Howard University Meet on May 8th. They claim to have among their number some of the best track athletes in the East. Rivaling this request, comes one from the Meadowbrook Club of Philadelphia asking for six entry blanks. The Meadowbrook Club has long been known as one of the best athletic clubs in the country. Many an outstanding athlete has been listed in its membership. Should they bring as many as six men to the Howard University Meet they will make a strong bid for the open championship.

"The hurts hurts some- In further substantiation of the impotency of the New York Tennis Ass'n as it shapes up today, we are reminded that early in last year, when it became apparent that the Ideal Tennis Club would lose some of their courts, and New York tennis was in danger of disruption, if not complete rout, what was done or suggested by the New York Tennis Ass'n, the governing body of the game in the State, to alleviate this alarming condition that threatened tennis? Nothing! HERE was an organization made up of 12 or more clubs in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, New Rochelle and Yonkers, with the responsibility of directing and controlling the destiny of the game in New York State, yet when a condition comes up that threatens the life of the game in the territory that it controls were utterly unable to even suggest a solution. WE knew that they were not able to do anything, but their lack of ability was only the effect; their impotency was the cause. It is this condition that we are fighting, and shall continue to fight until a righteous tennis public rebel and demand a change in policies and administration that will insure a tennis association compatible with the importance of the Empire State and the best interest of the game, not only in New York but the whole United States. THIS start must begin at the annual election of officers of the association on Monday night, May 3rd. The associated clubs should send their delegates instructed to break the bonds of conservative precedence which seemingly obstruct the election of some one other than an accredited delegate, with its alarming results, pointed out by its previous articles, and which is entirely responsible for the inefficiency and chaos that the association finds itself in today. THEY should be prepared to elect some one with the ability of organizing and leading, with the personality that demands respect and instills confidence; one who is unselfish and will narrise the tennis forces in the big city and turn its power toward the upbuilding of the game. This person is not hard to find among the tennis membership. It may be difficult to find among the accredited delegates to the association, but surely not so among the personnel of the clubs who form the association. SINCE such a person can be found, we see no good reason, either in law, ethics or common sense, why they should not be elected to put New York tennis at the front; not in theory, but in fact. Some years ago, when the New Jersey clubs who were affiliated with the New York Tennis Association withdrew from that body andgranted their membership to the New York clubs, it would have had no grievance with the New York body, but the growing popularity of the game and its best interest would be better served in a separate state organization." THEY were right, but if they had added that the New York body were too all-fired impotent they would have done us a wonderful favor; for while we knew it we would not have felt right to know that others did, and who can tell but that we might have resented that remark to the extent of doing something real worth while for tennis all these past three years. Ask any New York player or fan if there is any comparison between the two organizations and all that he can truthfully answer would be "Yes" in the word "association." THEIR experience and associations with the New York organization taught them a lesson, and they elected men at the head of their association that had the necessary qualifications to insure progress, associated clubs that confidence in these leaders, respected their judgment and co-ordained with them, and told completely selfless the organization from which they seceded.

When Lopez and Henderson Journey to the "City of Churches' It is evidently an impossibility to keep the Brooklyn Superiors in the background, for these energetic youths although hailing from the wrong end of the bridge, are always doing something that demands attention and boast of the largest following of New Yorkers and Jerseyites credited to any Brooklyn club. In the Borough they are recognized as the "social thing." The youngsters have all been taught to say, "Superior and the best."

The annual Spring dance on Friday evening, April 20, promises to eclipse anything offered this season, bringing together, much to the delight of dance lovers, the most popular orchestras of two races, Vincent Lopez and his Club Orchestra and Fletcher Henderson and his Roseand artists. The beautiful and spacious Arcadia ballroom should be the scene of one of the most commanding gatherings of laughing belles and gallants assembled to trip the light fantastic.

Dempsey and Jack Oakes in Slow Draw at the Commonwealth Club O'Dowd Too Much for Benny Hall Josephs Makes His Bow and Exit in One Round Young Jack Dempsey, Philadelphia welterweight, and Jack Oakes, colored middleweight of Buffalo, battled it out to a slow draw last Saturday night at the Commonwealth S. C., while a good sized house voiced its disapproval of the entire affair, including the decision. Neither man was over-aggressive, and the first eight rounds of the contest were far from interesting, but it seemed as though Dempsey should have been called the winner. Towards the close of the shuffle the men livened things up a bit, with a stretch of toe to toe slugging in the teeth, giving the customers their first chance to cheer during the battle. Dempsey had the better of the mixup, and continued to lead in the final two stunzas, having Oakes practically out in the last session. Dempsey weighed 146 pounds, and Oakes was 155. The semi-final 12 rounder was a boxing lesson, with Eddie O'Dowd of Columbus, Ohio, acting as the instructor, and Benny Hall, colored, of St. Louis, playing the part of the pupil. O'Dowd was entirely too good for his rival in every phase of the manly art, plastering the colored man all over the ring to capture every one of the dozen session. In the fifth a right hook to the chin rocked Hall, but he managed to remain upright. Another right hook, this time to the eye, closed the colored boy's left optic tight as a drum for the remainder of the performance. In the ninth O'Dowd sank another right, this time to the stomach, bending the St. Louis lad into a knot. The final two rounds were tough ones for Hall to weather, at one time the Buffalo lad catching five consecutive rights on his chin without a return. Hall welged 131 pounds, and his rival a quarter of a pound heavier. The six round preliminary was a corking go, with Joo Roggl of Greenwich Village and Jim Sigmund of South Carolina battling it out to a draw. Roggl shed blood from his nose from the second session on, and Sigmund's smoeller joined in the chin flow in fifth. Roggl welched 185 pounds, and Sigmund was 200% Monte Munn, Nebraska Assemblyman, scored a one round knockout over Bill Josephs of the West Indies in the four round curtain raiser, when the unequal contest was stopped in 1.18 of the initial session. Josephs had been on the floor for the count of four, and was in no condition to continue playing. Munn wolged, 216 pounds, and Josephs was 194. Young Otto was the referee, with Billy Jacobs and Charlie Woods acting as judges. ENGAGEMENT, WEDDING, BIRTHSTONE AND FRATER- NITY RINGS ST. GEO. V.

Colored Fighters All Lose at Commonwealth TENNIS RATINGS PRESENTED BY MOGULS De Witt Clinton Star Honored at Local "Y" Walker to Open Season for League Amsterdam News Again First to Give Full Ratings in Eastern Tennis Amsterdam News Again First to Give Full Ratings in Eastern Tennis Most Comprehensive Account of Fascinating Game Fostered by Tennis Associations of New York and New Jersey Yet Presented NEWARK, N. J., April 26.—The 1925 ratings of the American Tennis Association were released this week from the office of J. Mercer Burrell, secretary of the association. "Ted" Thompson, the young wizard of the racket, is very logically placed at No. 1, with Edgar G. Brown, the 1922 champion, holding down second place. Eyre G. Saitch, the New York champion, holds the same position as he did in 1924 — third place. Talley Holmes, who was the national champion and No. 1 in 1923 and 1924, is placed at No. 4. On the basis of all-round play in the Nationals and the other major tournaments held under the auspices of the A. T. A. during the season of 1925, the rating of the first four is eminently, a fair one. Thompson's superiority was unchallenged and his record bears no marks of defeat. Brown reached the semi-finals in the Nationals and put up a wonderful battle against the youthful champion before he went down to a glorious defeat. Brown proved his superiority over Salch by winning the New York Open Tournament and unquestionably outclassed Holmes in the Chicago Open Tournament. His sole reversal of form was his defeat by Dr. Q. B. Williams in the Midwestern Open Tournament at Wilberforce. However, this defeat can be discounted as this particular match was played indoors in a gymnasium which had very little back space. This handicap was far more severe to one employing the "driving game" as does Brown, than to a "chop stroke artist" like Dr. Q. B. Williams. Then also Dr. Williams has always been a sort of "jinx" to Brown. Brown has frequently easily defeated men far superior to Williams and in the same tournament has himself been eliminated by the Chicago champion. Talky Holmes, "The Old Master, lost to Brown in the finals at Chicago, and was defeated by catch in the semi-finals of the National. On these two performances he merits fourth position. The rating of Dr. B. M. Rhetta, the hard hitting Baltimore crack, No. 5, will undoubtedly occasion a good deal of comment. By winning the Wilmington Open Tournament, reaching the final round in the Baltimore Open, and winning the Baltimore Closed, the Doctor was able to amass a number of points on paper, which entitled him to consideration. In 1924, Dr. Rhetta was rated No. 13 and he has now advanced over the heads of such players as Woolridge, rated No. 4 in 1924, Richard Hudlin, J. W. Anderson, E. R. Simmons, Dr. J. McGriff, George Smith, Dr. Q. B. Williams and E. Gomes. Woolridge, former Junior Champion, and one of the sensations of 1923 season, failed to show progress and has been dropped from No. 4 to No. 5. His sole performance of note was reaching the finals in the New York Tournament after Satch has been eliminated. He was easily defeated by Brown in the New York finals and lost to "Ted" Thompson in the Nationals. Simmons has advanced from No. 7 to No. 5 in this year's ratings. Anderson has dropped from No. 6 to No. 7. Hulladin, rated at No. 5 in 1824, appears this year as No. 14. Dr. McGriff has moved back from No. 5 to No. 11. George Smith has also made a big drop from No. 9 to No. 16. Dr. O. B. Williams has moved down from No. 10 to No. 12, apparently being penalized for his failure to compete in the Nationals, which ruling of the A. T. A. is an excellent thing to stimulate competition in the major tournament of the year. Jones, thought to be a corner in (Continued on Page S.) Moore and Weisiger Star at Penn Relay Games This part of the country was well represented in the Penn Relays by Bradford Weisiger and Gus Moore, the sensational schoolboy champion. Weisiger ran with Folwoll Smith, J. O. McDonald and Ray Folk, making up Pennsylvania's crack relay team, which won the quarter-mile relay championship and shortened the carnival record and came within one-tenth of a second of the world's record set last year by the University of Southern California. Gus Moore, storling miller of Brooklyn Boys' High School, supplied one of the greatest thrills of the day when he pulled the boys' team to victory in the interscholastic medley relay championship, run at a mile and seventh-quarters for the first time in the slashing time of 7:59 3-5. Moore was credited with a 5:27 1-5 anchor mile. The speedy little flier started almost last in the field of ten schools, so yards back of the leaders on the final mile leg, but went away in a clip which enabled him to pick up on his rivals until half way from the finish he was fourth. Then Moore electrified the crowd with a closing burst of speed, which carried him to the front. Mayor Expected to Start Games for Eastern Colored League Mayor James J. Walker, a lover of all sports and at one time a baseball player himself, is expected to be present at the opening of the Eastern Colored Baseball League at Protectory Oval Sunday afternoon, May 2. The Mayor and other important city officials have been invited to be present and many of them have signified their intention of attending. The doubleheader between the Lincoln Glants and Hillsdales will be a hotly contested affair, as both teams are anxious to start the season with victory. Manager Lloyd will use Chambers or Dudley on the mound opposing "Nip" Winters in the opening game, which starts promptly at 1.30. Ideal Tennis Club Opens Season on Home Courts E. and S. Plans Gala Opening the Coming Saturday Afternoon, May 1st By ARTHUR E. FRANCIS. The Ideal Tennis Club opened their 1926 season on Saturday, April 24, on their courts at West 183th street, with a flying start and much enthusiasm. Rev. Chas. Martin, tennis fan par-excellence, opened the ceremonies with an appropriate address, which was followed by the flag raising by Mrs. Weir, mother of New York's premier junior, Reggie Weir. An exhibition doubles match was then played between young Weir and W. Phipps and Fred Johnson and J. Wilson, which was won by the former pair, and another match between Capt. Ben Clarke and Ed. Phipps, which went to Several of the members came out but, owing to the uncertain nature of the weather, the crowd was slim; however, all present seemed glad to start tennis once more. The E. & S. Tennis & Athletic Association will open their season on the courts at West 146th street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues, on Saturday, May 1, with an appropriate program. These seven courts came into existence last year through the efforts of Messrs. Everard Edmund and L. E. Spooner, both local tennis players, to meet the emergency created by the loss of three of the five ideal courts, on which most of Harlem's tennis activities were centered. The project was expensive and the hazards great, yet these two tennis lovers went ahead and pulled New York tennis out of a nice predicament. The clubs who had lost grounds over at the ideal Courts and some new ones leased courts from the E. & S. organization and tennis continued on its easy way during 1925. This year they are again planning a treat for tennis players and lovers and will again stage a gala opening. Letters of invitation have been sent to Mayor Walker, Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, Rev. Chas, Martin, Alderman Henry W. Shields, Mr. H. Adolph Howell, Dr. I. Hoage, Dr. Rawlins, ex-Alderman Geo. Harris, ex-Assemblyman Pope Billups, Harry Wills, the Amsterdam News staff, and a host of others. The opening will be featured by match games between the leading men and women players in Harlem and will begin promptly at 4 P. M. Admission is free. Eastern Basketball League Closes Successful Season The boys playing in the Eastern Basketball League closed a very successful season in their preliminaries to the big Renaissance games every Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino. Much of their success is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. R. Randolph, president of the league. Buffaloes were the winners of the 1925-26 championship, thereby having the first leg on the cup presented by the Renaissance Five.

C., April 26—Ned Gourdin, former world's record holder of the running broad jump, of national and international fame, writes that he is in training and expects to be in fine fettle for competition with DeHart Hubbard in the running broad jump and sprint races at the Howard Track Meet on May 8. In spite of the fact that Gourdin has been in the limelight for a number of years, he is still a young man and capable of turning in some thrilling performances. He will bring a number of athletes from the 572nd Infantry of Boston. These men rank among the best in New England in the middle distance races. Sandy Evans performed with distinction at the Howard meet in 1824. Since that time fans in this vicinity have been extremely anxious to see him run again. Sandy is a spectacular performer and among the best in the country at the half mile. The management is putting forth every effort to give Sandy some competition in his specialty. The Washington High Schools are training faithfully to hold the inter-scholastic championship in the District, while Bowlo Normal, Manassas Industrial Institute and Bordentown will make a strong bid for these honors. Banquet Tendered Captain of De Witt Clinton High School Basketball Team John Nail Acts as Master of Ceremonies and Eulogizes Young Gregory, in Whose Honor Affair Was Staged Never has the auditorium of the West 135th Street Branch Y.M.C.A. looked so beautiful as it did on the evening of Thursday, April 22, when the testimonial dinner was tendered George D. Gregory, captain of the De Witt Clinton championship basketball team. Prominent people from all walks of life were present to pay their respects to him as an athlete, scholar and gentleman. After the invocation by Rev. William Lloyd Imes, pastor of St. James' Presbyterian Church, a very appetizing dinner was served. Mrs. Joseph Steber, chairman of the reception committee, introduced the master of ceremonies, Mr. John E. Nall, who presented the championship basketball trophy donated by the firm of Nail & Parker to the Alumni basketball team, which defeated the Y. M. D. on the preceding Saturday night. The award of individual medals was made by Mr. Harold Jonkins, chairman of the basketball committee, in the absence of Mr. James S. Joseph, chairman of the physical committee. The Boys' Department, Y. M. D. and Referee awards were made by Mr. William H. Austin, chairman of the boys' work committee. Henry Rhodes, president of the Y. M. D. Alumni, made a few remarks of welcome to the Y. M. D. graduates, namely: George D. Gregory, Kenneth Miller, Q. R. Hands, Robert Payne, Richard Seay, Leroy Peters and William Cain. Tokens of appreciation were awarded William Paine and Creed Hubbard by members of the Cardinal and Y. M. D. basketball teams. Mr. Samuel Adams presented the former and Q. R. Hands the latter. At this junction of the program Mr. John E. Nail read a short sketch of Gregory's life, after which telegrams and letters of regret were read from the following persons: Mr. Paul Robeson, Dr. L. Palmer, coach of DeWitt Clinton basketball team; Rev. Shelton H. Bishop, Mr. Edward D. Cray, chairman of the boys' work cabinet and executive secretary of the Wall Street Branch, Y. M. C.

Higgins said: "If the part to be cut from the Parade Grounds deprives the baseball players of one inch of ground.

In one spot the Millacoin people are putting up at least a score of houses at the present time, with many more to be erected near the same spot. Looking over the field one is forced to the conclusion that these new homes in themselves constitute a new community which starts at Railroad avenue right into the heart of one of the most desirable sections in Jamaica. Inclement weather had a great deal to do with keeping scores of interested home seekers from visiting the Milkhouse homes last Sunday, but it is safe to predict that the first balmy Sunday will find so many colored people headed for this fast growing town and particular section, many will think the exodus for the suburbs is on. In the Merrick Park section the Culper's Corporation continues busy putting up new houses. This firm is being represented by John J. Hill, who has sold quite a number of homes to his own people during the past few months. In the same section the Dorf lumber people, represented by William J. Weir, are also planting for at least a hundred new homes before winter's returns. In the company of Mr. Charlie Gormer, who has never ceased to represent the Millacohn Interests from the time he started although rumor had it that such was not the case, we had an opportunity of not only looking over the new houses of the hustling builders, but going over ground which will within the next few months be secured for use in erecting another batch of houses. The Millacohn people are also planning to erect stores at the corner of Railroad avenue and Remsen street, which will give pioneers a chance to engage in business in a new community which will keen pace with the growth now going on in the other sections of Jamaica. A trip to this town today would be a revelation to those who knew Jamaica in the days when many thought a trip as far as Dexter Park meant going to the wilds. Married-Single The game between the married and single men which usually closes the full basketball season at the Renaissance Casino took place last Sunday night with the boys running around in single blessedness winning by a 38-23 score. The boys played as hard, if not harder than they did all season against the pick of the country. At times they roughed it up to the delight of the spectators, knowing that the losers would be in for their share of the kidding. Last season we rooted for the married men and they won. This season we forget to get in the works for the boys and they had to go and drop the game to those guys boasting that they are too wise to be led up the alley to the Mendelssohn tune. Westbury, L.

Brooklyn "Y" Student Leaving for Africa Soon Mr. Alfred John Brunsdon of 202 Madison street, Brooklyn, is about to complete his course in Bookkeeping and Typewriting, when he will leave for permanent location in Accra, Gold Coast, West Africa, 5,000 miles from here. Mr. Brunsdon is a member of the firm known as Equatorial Products Co., formed at the termination of the World War by about twenty service men. In preparation for his work in Africa, he has been taking instruction at the Bedford Branch Y, M. C. A. Educational Department, 1121 Bedford avenue, Brooklyn. Associated with Mr. Brunsdon is Mr. Brian E. Jecks, who is also head of a recently formed concern, fostering the development of Sisal plantations. Mr. Brunsdon will serve as assistant manager. According to reports, one mill is now in operation showing 100 tons daily output and it is expected that three additional mills will soon be in operation. The main work of the Equatorial Co. is the lumbering of mahogany, which is greatly facilitated by a tractor railroad, the patent of which is held by the company. The work is dangerous because of snake-ridden swamp land and none of those entering this work can secure insurance. Among the many interesting accounts which Mr. Brunsdon tells is that of the method of treating snake-bite in that section. A burning brand is thrust into the wound caulterizing it. "Africa," says Mr. Brunsdon, "is more developed than most people who have never been there can imagine." Mr. Brunsdon entered the course in Bookkeeping and Typewriting at the Bedford Branch Y. M. C. A. to prepare himself for the work he is entering in that far off land. His fellow-students will tender Mr. Brunsdon a dinner at the Y. M. C. A. before he leaves.

Rev. Osterman has been a leader in the Seventh Day Adventist Church for the past 20 years and one of the stalwart workers in the denomination. For years he attended Tuskogee and since graduating has devoted his life to the work in the southland. Rev. Osterman plans to leave here the latter part of this week. NEWS GIVES TENNIS RATINGS IN FULL Three Room 295.00 FURNITURE OUTFITS Reduced During Our Four Room 495.00 Expansion Sale 1924, has fallen from No. 11 to No. 19, and he is lucky to be rated at all. "Johnny" Wilkinson, the "Grand Old Man," from the nation's capital, by some freak of good fortune has advanced from No. 14 to No. 13. Incidentally, "Wilkie" is rated above Richard Hudlin and also Kenneth Worde, who defeated him in the second round of the Nationals at Bordentown. Solomon Worde, the young New Jersey Champion, who sprung into National prominence by scoring many upsets in the Bordentown Tournament and who almost eliminated Simmons, makes his first appearance in the Nationals rating at No. 9. Worde is a clean cut youngster, whose greatest fault is lack of confidence. Russell Smith of Chicago, Junior Champion of 1924, makes his debut in senior circles at No. 10. Smith played well in the West early in the season and gave Brown a fierce battle in the New York Open Tournament, but suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of the elongated "freak" from Virginia, Dr. L. C. Downing, in the Nationals. Another newcomer in the National ranks is Kenneth Worde, of New Jersey, a brother of Solomon Worde, the present State Champion. Kenneth, a stylist of the Brown school, is ranked at No. 15. New York and New Jersey fans, who are familiar with the play of Kenneth, may express some surprise at his being rated below Wilkinson, whom he defeated in the Nationals. Kenneth was defeated in the East vs. West matches. Dr. E. D. Downing is another new doctor at No. 17. That wonderful veteran of veterans, Rev. W. W. Walker, of Baltimore, breaks into the ratings after four years' absence and is ranked at No. 18. Dr. Ross Strange, the Philadelphia Champion, who also made a wonderful impression during the Bordentown Tournament, ends the list at No. 20. In the Women's Singles, Miss Lulu Ballard, the Philadelphia southpaw, has ousted the perennial Champion, Miss Isadorn Channels, from No. 1 in the 1925 ratings. Miss Channels is rated at No. 2, which position was held by Miss Ballard in last year's ratings. Miss Ora Washington, another fair star from the Quaker City, breaks into the National ratings at No. 3. But for her misfortune in meeting her "jlnx" in the person of Miss Alberta Ballard, in the Nationals. Miss Washington would have been the logical candidate for second place, because of her defent of Miss Channells in the New York Open Tournament. Mrs. Dorothy Radcliffe Ewell, of Chicago, is rated at No. 4, which is the same position she held in 1924. Miss Nellie Nicholson, the Baltimore Champion, with the orthodox style, has dropped from No. 3 in 1924 to No. 5 in the 1925 ratings. Miss Alberta Ballard of Philadelphia, a sister of the present National Champion, is rated at No. 6. This is her first appearance in the National ratings. Miss Blanche Winston, of Washington, has been rated at No. 7, largely because of her play in the Nationals, in which she reached the semi-finals. Miss Laura V. Junior, of Philadelphia, has advanced from No. 9 to No. 8. Apparently, the Committee has decided to abrogate the rule or custom which frowned upon members of the Rating Committee being rated. Nevertheless, Miss Junior's advance is well merited. Mrs. C. O. Seames, the "Grand Old Lady" of tennis, is rated No. 9. The majority of tennis fans will greatly appreciate the honor done "Mother Seames," but unfortunately the records will hardly sustain the Committee in their action. Mrs. Seames did not play in the Singles at the Nationals and made no sensational showing in any other tournament sufficient to oust such players as Mrs. Emma Leonard of New York, and Miss Marcellus of New Jersey, from consideration. Miss Eunice Brown of North Carolina is given No. 10, apparently on her winning of the Southeastern Closed Tournament, as she was eliminated in the first round of the Nationals. Miss Lillian Hines, also of North Carolina, has been dropped from No. 5 to No. 11. Mrs. Elsie Conick, of New York City, is rated at No. 12. Mrs. Emman Leonard of New York City, Mrs. Bertha Burnett Sailer of New Jersey and Miss N. Hines of North Carolina, respectively No. 7. 8 and 10 in the 1924 ratings, were not rated this year. The two latter did not compete in the Nationals. Some surprise may be expressed at the absence of the name of Miss Alvette Marcellus of New Jersey, whose winning of the New Jersey Closed Tournament and reaching the round before the semi-finals in the Nationals would appear to entitle her to as much consideration as some of those who were rated, particularly Miss Brown, Miss Hines and Mrs. Seames. Lenoir Cook of Washington, D.C., heads the Juniors and there is hardly any comment necessary on the other Junior ratings. The Committee has rated six Juniors this year due to the larger entry list in the Nationals. In the men's doubles, Messrs. Holmes and Thompson, the winners of the National Doubles Championships, are rated at No. 1, with Messrs. Saitch and Smith, of New York, runners-up, at No. 2. Downing and McGriff of Virginia, once holders of the National title, are rated at No. 3. Worde and Worde, the New Jersey Champions, semi-finalists in the Nationals, are rated at No. 4. Rhetta and Walker of Baltimore, Md., are bracketed with Grinnell and Strange of Philadelphia, at No. 5. Nos. 1 and 2 occupy the same position in 1925 as they did in 1924. Downing and McGriff have moved up from No. 4 to No. 2. Rhetta and Walker have dropped from No. 3 to No. 5. Worde and Worde and Grinnell and Strange appear for the first time in the National's Ratings. In the mixed doubles, Mrs. Seames of Chicago, and Dr. L. C. Downing, of Virginia, winners of the National title at Bordentown, are placed at No. 1. Mr. and Mrs. E. K. Jones of New York, the runners-up in the Nationals, are rated at No. 2. Miss Nicholson and Dr. Rhetta of Haldimore, former holders of the title and rated No. 1 in 1924, have dropped to No. 3. The teams of Miss Channels and Hudlin, No. 2 in 1924. Mrs. Leonard and George Smith, No. 3 in 1924, and Mrs. Seames and "Ted" Thompson, No. 4 in 1924, did not play in the last Nationals and therefore have been dropped from the present ratings. Why the Committee arbitrarily rated only three teams, thus shutting out one of the semi-finalists in the Nationals, is unknown. Willis and Miss Marcellus, the New Jersey Champions, reached the semi-finals and had a good claim to 4th position, especially since in 1924 both semi-finalists in the mixed doubles were rated.

Mrs. Leonard of New York and Miss Junior of Philadelphia are rated at No. 4. Miss Leonard and Miss Channels were rated at No. 1 in 1924 and Miss Junior and Miss Washington were rated at No. 3. The duties of the Rating Committee are indeed hard, particularly since many of the associations and clubs fall to send in full accounts of the various tournaments and matches held under their auspices. Many fans have suggested that the Committee adopt a set of rules saying that a certain number of teams and individuals should be rated in each event each year, and also stating definitely in what order tournaments will be counted in determining the ratings.

Opening one night week for colored lady medium. DEAR reader, more or less I am presenting for your sanction the first of a series of weekly articles—not intentionally "weakly." This columnist, having tried many things with little evident success, has decided, with the good graces of the Editor, to capitalize his one long suit: Talk. So here we go. The prime prerequisite for this column quite naturally was an appropriate title. I started at first to content a contest for the naming of thereby case my mind of the whole affair. But I decided that I couldn't not quite enough people interested, so I took off my coat and dug in. The first name which came to my mind was, "The Canard," but thinking people would mistake it for a steamship advertisement, I immediately disqualified it. Secondly, I considered "My Opinion," but imburing it with the original richness and that my opinion amount to much anyway. I surreptitiously gave that up. Then I resolved to give this column a vivacious nom de plume; something with a degree of sensationalism—but simultaneously depicting its predominant characteristics—so I hit upon "The Hawk." But after taking the Hawk* through the tale anyway, I came to the solution that "The Hawk" though doubtless an industrial bird, had a somewhat shady reputation. So no "Hawk." I confess that I did not relish the labor of so much intensive thinking, but since I was in it so far I was forced to see the thing through. So I thought and I thought and I thought, mindful now of the exigency of naming this article myself or else the reader would surely name it for me. And not caring to countenance the thoughts of the names they were apt to bestow upon me, I exclaimed upon the noble name of "Bull." But fearing people might think I purpose turning everything around to suit myself or that I am satate of the aforementioned quadruped, I threw it out. So just at the time I was about to give it up as a bad job, out of the dense rocesses of my brains there came marching down the avenue of persistence, attired in all its gals and gaudy regalia, the one and only appropriate title, for objections reasons. The Literary All-Stars, a group of all chronic dyspeptics and students of English shall appreciate the significance of this title. Having arrived at a name, I Dress Well --- and Succeed!

C., April 26. —Congressman Etmanuel Celler, Democrat, from Brooklyn, N. Y, took the plight of the Fullman porters to the floor of Congress Saturday. According to Celler, the porters who ride on trains are ground in the Fullman machine. They are paid an average of only $70 a year, he said, with tips averaging but $20 a month. The Congressman further charged that the company allows a porter "the enormous pension of $1.50 a month when he reaches the age of 70." Robert Tod Lincoln, son of President Lincoln, also is a member of the Fullman board of directors. "Every organization and by porters to organize has been met with an avalanche of Fullman funds to thwart their efforts," Celler said. "Colored publications have been subsidized; pulpits have been bought; heads of schools in the South have been bribed to propagandize against the underdog Pullman porters and maids. During the World War the railroads refused to pay the full increase of wages granted by the war labor board. Some of the southern states have anti-tipping laws to add to the sorrows of the porter."

Church were speakers deem it no more than proper that you should know the principles of this column; so here they are in all their baffectations: 1. This column is and shall always be the "unbridled servant of the people"; it shall "wear no man's collar—you, not even shirt nor nothing if necessary. 2. This column is for any reason, not for any or anything for reason or no reason whatsoever. 3. This column is now henceforth and forever consecrated to be the champion and spokesman for all avowed dumb-bells, and shall at all times be on the alert for their betterment and propagation. Our motto is: More and Dumber Dumb-Bells. 4. This column shall not concern itself with lexicographical technicalities nor grammar. The poor people weighy subjects. So you can readily perceive, dear reader, wherein you tread and what you are going on against. I also consider it no more than proper that I have thus consumed your time by going into so many elaborate details, so that you may be mindful of "what it's all about," and at the same time that this may be a standing apology for all future preoccupations. Having progressed this far it suddenly dawned upon me that in the tentacles it has sent its opponents, it was imperative that I get this into print. I recalled that a number of papers were contemplating the suppression of pistol advertisements, crime news and other sensationalism. And knowing it would have to utilize the space in some way, because no one would want to buy a paper containing a lot of blank space, I pursued this channel. The publishers, evidently thinking the better of the two evils, submitted. So next week we shall fire our initial broadside into the camp of the enemies and shall continue to do so until they put us all in the nearest insane asylum. For a time I was in a quandary as to whether or not I should sign my name to this article. And while engaged in dialectics with myself I came upon several customarily illogical and bright deductions: First, Do not nearly all the successful and great writers sign their names to their works? Second, Why not write anonymously and thereby show your altruism, and at the same time let an element of mystery enter this child of your handicraft? Third, Why not compromise with yourself and just sign your initials? So while I was pondering as to just what I would do, up jumped my old inevitable egoism and with one sweep of the argumentative hand settled all pending uncertainties. This was its egotistical reasoning: What! not sign your name? And forfeit the only chance you ever will have to get your name in his paper? I never you chop embalmed with an off with an or get hanged, or some other more or less illustrious deed. No sir, Frankie, you shall have your name embalmed across the head of your works in big, black, capital letters. So there it is. Krigwa Players to Present Three Plays In an attempt to establish in high harlem a Little Theatre which shall be primarily a center where Negro actors before Negro audiences will interpret Negro life as depicted by Negro artists, but which shall also always have a welcome for all artists of all races and for all sympathetic comers and for all beautiful ideas, three plays will be given at 155th street branch of the Public Library next month by the Katherine players.

The young society women were charmingly dressed in the latest sport, dance and afternoon frocks, creations of Mme. Odessa. Prior to the parade a musical program was given, which included one selection by Abbie Mitchell and Prof. William Calhoun. Misses Nora Thompson and Helen Dowdy rendered solos also. They were accompanied by Prof. Calhoun, while Miss Mitchell was supported by Beatrice Lewis. In the line of march were the following: Ruth Murray wore a sport suit trimmed in green and a sport hat to match. Jennie Lindsey displayed a Chinese silver brocaded walking dress. She carried a cane. Florence Richardson displayed a creation of tangerine and black chiffon. Margret Harris wore an afternoon frock of green chiffon with silver ribbon.

Mortiah Baptist Church, 48 West 114th street, was held without hail in Washington Heights Court Thursday by Magistrate Oberwinger on a charge of felonious assault and carrying a blackjack. During a dispute in a restaurant at Lenox avenue and 145th street, according to Frank Sutherland, 244 145 West 142d street, the clergy man struck him over the head with the weapon and an ambulance surgeon from Harlem Hospital put four stitches in Sutherland's scalp. David Edwards, 147 West 142d street, coach of the team tempted to come to his assistance, but Wicks. Edwards charges, struck him on the mouth with his fist and disarranged three teeth. Policeman Wagner, of the West 135th street station, attracted by the noise of the fight, arrested Wicks. The preacher is six feet, two inches tall, but said he had an oneness to the people for protection against "religious enemies." He was ordained in Texas 12 years ago. Wicks said.

St. George's Choir Recital Inspiration BY CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. It was an inspiring occasion at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church last Friday evening when the famous choir of St. George's P. E. Church gave a program of Negro spirituals. It was the first time in the history of New York that a white choir had sung in a Negro church. Those who saw Harry Burleigh, the distinguished Negro composer, and for thirty years a member of the St. George's Choir, march in with the choir, got some idea of the esteem and affection which, and the distinct place that he has made us an American composer. All of the spirituals sung by the choir were the arrangements of Burleigh. The choir was under the direction of George W. Kemmer, organist and choremaster. Dr. Carl Reiland, rector of St. George, paid a striking tribute to Burleigh as one of the greatest of American composers, and as one who has done much for the preservation of Negro music, especially the spirituals. He said that St. George's Church was the first white church to introduce and sing the Negro spirituals, and said that they were revered and enjoyed at St. George's. He said that the Negro spirituals were the greatest of music, Dr. Reiland said that it was upon the invitation of James A. Guddesen one of the deacons of the church, Zion Church, that his choir came to Harlem to be the guest of Mother Zion. "I was impressed with the idea," said Dr. Reiland, "and thought it would be a fine way for the two races to become better acquainted." The choir of Mother Zion escorted the St. George's choir to its place, making a most impressive and picturesque sight. The St. George choir was given the regular choir section, while Mother Zion acted in the gallery to the west. The first part of the service was the regular opening vesper as it takes place at St. George.

Bishop Talbot in his protest asserts that "evidence from America of what has been attained by the Negro suggests that he is not inherently inferior" to the white man, although at the present time "the great mass of native life is at a lower level of human attainment than the European." As to the bill itself, Bishop Talbot said: "The passing of the bill by the Assembly is an evil omen for the future. Even though it is instantly and gently administered it cannot but engender a sense in the intelligent native's mind that the white man means to keep the black man down. It is not only a question of its actual provisions nor its administration, but its symbolic character. It will symbolize the inherent inferiority of the native and the resolve to use him Jersey Choirs to Compete for Cup BORDENTOWN, N. J., April 26.

"Surely this legislation is in the wrong direction—namely, that of discouraging native growth. The right direction is that of encouraging progress. If the black men can rise to the level of capacity with the white men, then it should be the endeavor of the white men not to keep them out, but to bring them in at the white level of conditions and reward. This would entail the surmounting of great difficulties. It would be no short cut to this end—it would be no solution of the native problem. There is no short cut—there is no solution. There is no short cut through this whole business. But it is the right direction. It would fill the native's soul with hope and aspiration. It would leave the road open before him." Fisk Students Endow Alma Mater With Policies (Preston News Service). COLUMBUS, O., April 26.—The graduating class of 1925 and 1926 at Pisk University, Nashville, Tenn., established a precedent last week in the group insurance of the two classes in the Supreme Life and Casualty Co. of Columbus, O.

C., April 26.—Thanks to prohibition, Negroes of this country are becoming home owners and, by education, are getting an enancipation from ignorance that will be helpful in making them fine citizens. Such was the view expressed to the wet and dry hearing by Dr. L. Garland Penn, of Cincinnati, field secretary of Negro schools and colleges of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Penn said: "The Negro is one-tenth of the population of the United States and, as such, he is absolutely and unqualified for the observance of the Constitution and enforcement of the law. "He owns more homes and better homes since prohibition came than ever before. In Georgia, he now owns $48,233,541 worth of property; in Virginia, $68,354,407; in North Carolina, $102,455,004." "As a traveler and observer, I have seen few Negroes drunk. It is an exception to see one. Boot-legging among Negroes is among the lowest elements of the race and in many cases is the long arm of a white bootleger. "Constructive work is up-hill, so that the prohibition amendment ought to have at least as long to test its constructive work as the saloon had to destroy and tear down."

Just give Dr. Boutte twelve cents, but don't think you're gonna get a kit in one minute. Now you have to wait two weeks and after that time any morning you can expect a package at your door. Don't think it is coming in an envelope and yell "hurrah, hurrah, here it comes," when you see a letter which may turn out to be the gas hill. Troop 778 went on a hike Saturday to Cedar Falls, N. Y. There are going to be a lot of events for first and second class Boy Scouts at the armory this summer. The tenderfoots had better put salt on their feet and make them second class.

An argument followed, and one of the colored men drew, a knife, and stashed the box near the heart and he fell dead. Johnson pursued them and was gaining on them when the same man who had killed Carroll turned suddenly and stabbed him in the plopmen. He was taken to the Amboy Bioshospital, where his condition is critical. Within two hours the police arrested six men. They said they were: Robert Ducaest, 24 years old, of 27 Hudson street, who is charged with the murder: George Galloway, 31; Leon Lush, 32; Alonzo Kitter, 21; Albert Butler, 30; and William Meadows, 50, all of Carteret. The last five are held as material witnesses. All deny knowing anything of the murder. The mob gathered about 2 ockets in the morning. Men gathered around the church, and finally at about 3 ockets piled hay, waste paper and other infamable stuff against its walls. They touched off the fire and it mounted quickly to the church. Firemen arrived a little later and the mob made no effort to interfere with their work. But by the time they had brought the fire under control the church was almost demolished. Chief of Police Harrington, who had arrived with the firemen, or Wife Summons Justice to Court (Continued from Page 1.1) Judge saw his wife going into the theatre he had previously forbidded her to go, the attorney said. Judge he said, went up to his wife and gently took hold of her arm and led her out of the place. In retiring the defense, Mrs. Judge said that she had been separated from her husband for over a year and was now living with her mother. She informed the court that her husband had approved her in the same manner on two different occasions. When the magistrate finally asked Justice what he had to say about the charge, he opened his mouth and made noiseless sounds. Coming to his client's rescue, the lawyer explained that Justice was trying to effect a reconciliation. The court sneered at the alibi and sounded the advice of the complainant to the disposition of the case. With the explanation of Mrs. Justice that she merely wanted her husband to stay away from her, the court did not order his arrest and on the condition that he would not embarrass his wife by forcing his presence upon her and with a severe warning that the second of four would draw a jail sentence, the summons was dismissed. CLAIM THAT WOMAN WAS 125 YEARS OLD RED SPRINGS, N. C. April 26. The oldest person in this section of the State and perhaps in the entire State expired when Mary D. Inman died at the home of her great-nephew here Thursday. Although her exact age is not known, it has been gleaned from at least two sources that she was 125 years old. She nursed the well-known Captain Bradley of the Conferate Army when he was an in- dered the mob to disperse. When it fulled to do so the firemen turned streams toward the men and the mob moved off. But it moved on toward the section where colored people live. Arriving there the members of the mob pounded on doors and shouted and the residents, freightened, came out. Many were rounded up and marched off. TROUBLE STILL BREWING. Meanwhile, trouble is still brewing and cowardly bands of thugs have attacked several men returning-from work. The whole police force of 21 men are on duty and orders have been issued by Mayor Thomas Mulvihill, Chief of Police Henry J. Harrington and County Prosecutor John E. Toolan that the first move toward a repetition of violence must be sternly suppressed. Yesterday morning when news of the rioting became generally known a committee consisting of the Rev. George S. Miller of the Washington Baptist Church, Orange; the Rev. Charles Mayhew of the First Baptist Church of Arlington, and the Rev. Otto Laegeer, Superintendent of Religious Education of the New Jersey Baptist Conference, all white, met with members of the Baptist Conference to discuss that was to be done. Following the stabbing of Carroll and Johnson, Robert Ducaest, 24 years old, 27 Hudson street, and five other men were arrested. Ducaest was charged with murder. During the day some of the residents returned quietly to their homes, but for the most part they kept under cover. Prosecutor Toolan said that the local police and detectives from his office were making every effort to learn the identity of members of the mob. (Prepared by the New York Academy of Business) The U.

Pace points to his 21 years of continuous membership; and also tells of the many sacrifices made in the stirring days of 1909 and 1911, when he was Grand Secretary and the white Elks were taken to Negro lodge with a vengeance. According to Mr. Pace, he was arrested in Memphis, Tenn., and threatened with imprisonment if he did not turn over to the courts the books of the lodge; and again he Booker T. Washington's Will Clears Title to Brooklyn Lot A copy of the will of Booker T. Washington was filed in Surrogate George A. Wingate's office in Brooklyn Saturday in order that Jacob Glasser, a white real estate dealer, of 400 Mile Avenue, sold a title to the lot on the east side of East 59th street north of Linden avenue, Brooklyn. Glasser purchased the property from Hon. Emmett J. Scott, former secretary to Mr. Washington, who had received it from him. The title was not completely clear because no copy of the will was filed in the Kings County Surrogate's office.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1926 Work Scarce in Northern Cities The Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League, acting on reports from local secretaries and advisers throughout the country, calls attention to the scarcity of work in the North. Here are some examples in which the colored man or woman may find employment, but both the large and small cities to which Negroes have been accustomed to go are plentifully supplied with laborers. Especially is this true of New York, Philadelphia, Louisville, Louisiana, Kansas City, Youngstown, Buffalo, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Newark, and Hartford, Conn. The general unsettled labor conditions in the East are aggravated by strikes, which cause more unemployment than is usual at this time of year. It is estimated that about 250,000 men and women are on strike. To those who are planning to come North at this period of the year, when newcomers usually leave their homes in the South, the League advises careful selection in order not to be disappointed in securing work in the South, suggest wives in view of the number of applicants from the South seeking work above the Mason-Dixon Line. Alleged Pickpocket Held Without Bail Charged with picking a street car passenger's pocket, Otto Hall, 35, 2164 Seventh avenue, was held without ball by Magistrate Glatzmayer in the Harlem Court Friday for a further hearing. In holding Hall without bail the magistrate acted apparently upon his interpretation of the Baumes Crime Commission Laws, which recently passed by the State Legislature. The complaint was made by Alexander Turnbull, white, 214 E. 108th street, who said his wallet containing $200 was stolen from him on a northbound Lexington avenue surface car. He charges that Hall stole his wallet and handed it over to an alleged confederate who leaped from the car and made his escape to Hall until the arrival of Detective Carroll of the East 104th street station, who placed him under arrest. Hall, the police say, has been arrested four times before for similar offences. Report Says Rhinelander May Sue for Divorce Leonard Kip Rhinelander, according to a White Plains report, was Iving in Mississippi last month to establish a residence in that state so he could sue his wife. Mrs. Alice Beatrice Jones Rhinelander of New Rochelle, for divorce. While in the South he was accompanied by his lawyer, Leon R. Jacobs, who appeared with Isaac N. Mills when he sued his wife for an annulment of marriage on the ground that she deceived him as to her color. A jury decided in Mrs. Rhinelander's favor. Mr. Kip, who appeared an appalling to the Appellate Division on behalf of Rhinelander, denied he knew of any move of Rhinelander to establish a residence in the South. WOMAN SENT TO JAIL FOR INTOXICATION Found unconscious near 125th street and Seventh avenue by a policeman, Anna Benita, 39.113 West 116th street, Thursday was sent to the workhouse for 60 days by Magistrate obterwager in Washington Heights Court, when he found she had been convicted five times previously for public intoxication. Only recently she finished serving a two months' term in the workhouse, and she pleaded with the court to be allowed to go back to Porto Rico, her native country. Magistrate Oberwager remarked that in another two months she will be free to go to any country she likes, and reprimanded her as an habitual drunkard. Your tenants won't do this if you order now.

Zip, of Circus Fame, Dead at 83 Zip, of Circus Fame, Dead at 83 Fellow Freaks to Attend Funeral Today at Campbell's Funeral Church William Henry Johnson, known all over the world as Zip, the Whatisit, will be buried today in Bound Brook, N. J., where he came from before he joined Barnum and Bailey's Circus. The body of the dean of circus freaks, who died Saturday night in Bellevue Hospital, was taken Sunday to Campbell's Funeral Church. Baptist funeral services will be held there at 10 o'clock. He was supplosed to be 83, but one knew his exact ege. Capt. O. K. White, manager of Zip almost since the start of his career as a freak, thought the usually grinning man was more than 90. A human oddity all his life, Zip in death, will be borne to his grave by his wife, who will be a fellow freaks of Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey's Circus. Officials said honorary pallbearers would include Cliko, the Bushman, almost as veteran a showman as Zip; the Skeleton Man, the Fat Girl and the Tattooed Lady. It was Gip's misfortune, or good fortune, to have been born with a peanut-shaped head. Countless millions have gazed at him as the world, year in and year out, first with Barnum & Bailey's and then with the combined circuses. Phinnes T. Barnum himself is supposed to have discovered Zip "in the land beyond the moon" and Charles Dickens, no leas, on his second visit to the United States, is said to have bestowed upon the vacant-starring person the appellation "—that clung to him through life. To the millions who gazed at Zip and his cone-shaped skull with wonder, Zip was an exhibit and not a human being, but he had his human side. Capt. White brought the Negro an old fiddle and for hours, at a time Zip would sit moonning, scraping away with the blade of a knife, none but himself could enjoy. Circus men insist Zip displayed an intelligence all his own and was fond of playing practical jokes on his fellows of the side-show. The "queer people" of the circus will mourn the passing of the second of their number within ten days, for last week Krao the Monk, who was born in Siam, died after a short illness. She, too, was a veteran of the side-show tent. Zip was one of the rocks on which the late P. T. Barnum laid the foundation of his fortune. He was one of the first breaks exhibited by the veteran showman back in the 60s. The small, spotted figure, the dark coat he wore and quarrelsome head with a tuft of shaggy hair at the top, was one of the headliners of the old Barnum Museum that has long since disappeared from its old stand at Broadway and Ann street.

Y., where a white man felt it was his duty to marry a little colored girl of seventeen years, with whom it is said he had cohabited, and in Cateret, New Jersey, where men, women and children are being driven from their homes and a house of Christian worship burned to the ground, because in a street brawl a colored man stabbed two white men. BACK of the New Jersey disturbance is a contributory cause worthy of note: JEALOUSY OF NEGRO WORKMEN WHO HAVE RECENTLY MOVED INTO CATERET AND FOUND EMPLOYMENT. This is the dastardly crime which led a Christian community of members of a superior race to drive innocent men, women and children from their homes in the dead of night, without even the excuse that they were searching for the murderer, because the authorities claim they already have him under arrest. But why advance an excuse or call the disturbance a race riot when one hundred hooded and armed men attack unarmed men singly, on their way from work, on street cars or in their homes? It is Caucasian superiority asserting itself by force. The Putnam County situation is more cheerful, where the mother of the colored girl awaits the arrival of the Klansmen with several shotguns, which recalls to our minds Claude McKay's excellent poem: IF WE MUST DIE e must die, let it not be like hort ted and penned in an inglon spot, he round us bark the mad hungry dogs, ing their mock at our accursed e must die, 0 let us nobly die, that our precious blood may no shed ain; then even the monsters we If we must die, let it not be like hogs Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot. While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs. Making their mock at our accursed lot. If we must die, O let us nobly die, So that our precious blood may not be shed shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead! O Kinsmen! we must meet the common foe! Though far outnumbered, let us show us brave, And for their thousand blows deal one death blow! Like men we'll face the murderous, cowardly pack, pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting Apply More Pressure and Win ALMOST DAILY we see tangible results of our campaign to open the door of opportunity for young Negro men and women in Harlem. The slogan, "Patronize only stores employing Negroes," is working wonders in the way of breaking the bond of economic bondage too long drawn against us. BUT THE SURFACE HAS ONLY BEEN SCRATCHED; hardly deep enough to withdraw the pressure but deep enough to prove its efficacy when applied in earnest. Today, this Saturday, or whenever you have a purchase of any kind to make, take a second thought and, if possible, make your expenditure where Negroes are employed in any capacity for which they are fitted. By doing so, you can't lose. LOOKING at the matter in a purely selfish way, your own wisdom should dictate such a course. Grocery stores, drug stores, shoe stores; butcher shops, hat shops, tailor shops, theatres and all other stores in Harlem are operated for the sole purpose of making money. Your money is at least fifty per cent of the contemplated revenue and profit. Withhold your fifty per cent and the revenue and profit are cut in half or maybe wiped out altogether. MAKE IT PROFITABLE for concerns who employ Negroes to continue employing them—and in increased numbers—by giving them your patronage, and unprofitable for racially prejudiced parasites to operate stores in Harlem and deny you and your children a fighting chance to earn a decent living. A WHITE VICTIM MISSISSIPPI, long accustomed to unavailing attempts to apprehend lynchers of Negroes, is now endeavoring to "locate, identify and apprehend" persons responsible for the lynching of a white man accused of murder; and while Mississippi authorities have been singularly unsuccessful in bringing lynchers to justice, we have not entirely lost hope that they may yet be successful, no matter what the color of the victim. LYNCHING is lynching; and it is just as discomforting to read that a white man is lynched as to read that a colored man is lynched. RARELY does the skill of a Negro surgeon find its way into print in either the white or the colored press, but occasionally, as in the case of Dr. Walter Delph and those associated with him in the operation he performed on a patient in the Edgecombe Sanitarium a few days ago, the feat is heralded far and wide, recalling to the lay mind the fact that there are Negro surgeons and that many of them are more skillful than white ones. AND NOW, King Nana Amoah Ill, who visited the United States several months ago, has been exposed as a scheming faker without creating any great amount of excitement. White American society has fallen down at the feet of old world royalty so many times to find out later that the idol was of cloven hoof, it would be unfair to deny Negro Americans the sensation. IF THERE IS ANY ONE PLACE in all the United States where racial segregation is ugliest, it is in the Nation's capital, a community under direct control of the Federal Government. Yet, the United States Senate has just passed an appropriation bill for the erection of separate bathing pavilions. New Orleans to El Paso New Orleans to El Paso By WILLIAM PICKENS W HEN you go to New Orleans, meet Dr. Geo. W. Lucas, of the N.A.A.C.P., and Supreme Chancellor Green, of the K. of P. — or else you might as well not go to New Orleans. They are the types of what is worth while in New Orleans, so far as its colored people go. There are many fine colored people in New Orleans. Some few of them, fine people too, are being misled into a marsh by the deceitful mirage called: "The white folks treat me personally all right, so why should I kick?" (One needs not argue with such a deluded one — just tell him to "wait and see." He will see soon enough. On one long Jim Crow ride in this section I sent for the waiter to see about getting food. He recognized me, against my wishes, and took me back to the dinner and I ordered a big dinner, and when I went to pay he absolutely refused to accept it, not even a tip. That is the "South" in a nutshell. In the North no dining car waiter could get away giving away free about $2.50 worth of the North's vices usually in the North I have usually no difficulty whatever in being politely served in a diner, but only in the South does the free-and-easy relationship of the colored servants who happen to be liked permit them to do as they please with the "boss's" foodstuffs. Of course the biggest bunch of sheer courage in all Texas is a black man, Richardson, editor, of the plain-spoken Houston "Informer." He is so "dangerous" that some of his other black brethren are afraid even to let the Houston whites see them walking along the streets with Richardson; when Richardson is going in this direction his colored friends usually find that they have business in the opposite direction. And yet, as proof that a man who insists upon his manhood usually wins more real respect from the enemy than does the crawler, when the whites wanted a 1826 Near East for the community chief drive," and wanted to be sure where all the money went, they selected Richardson—the man whom the Klu Klux had planned to throw into some quicksand bog or to decompose into some doctor's office and have cut into little pieces and carried by various members of the Klux Committee into various parts of Houston's entoups and buried. There are also men named Walter N.C. P. B. and Prof. Smith of the public schools, who are on the "Interracial Committee," and therefore the "Interracial Committee" is good for something in Houston. In the famous "Collin's" case these black men on the committee maneuvered to have two prominent white members to "attend" the Collin's trial. These two big business men were so completely convinced by their own eyes and ears of the innocence of Collin's that the rest was easy, as his sentiment goes in the South—"Why, two of the biggest white men in town don't believe that Negro raped that white woman." And yet Texas is hell. Old "Bill" Sherman said, you know: "If I owned both hell and Texas I would rent out Texas." And when Texas was under military control right after the Civil War one of the subordinate officers, the one he was the man, Texas which he was assigned, wrote General Sherman: "This place is too hot to live in, has no water, and no good society." "Well," said Sherman, "if that isn't the most exact description of hell!" They won't sell a colored man sleeping car or parlor car accommodations in Texas unless he bribes the porter, the Pullman conductor and the train conductor. If the train conductor is not in on it he will "write up" the Pullman conductor for violating "the law," which is no law, of course, but only the business of colored people but the lawful right to and even after the accommodation you are likely to have to kill or be killed—or in Texas you should say KILL and be killed—for there is no presumption in favor of a Negro who kills a white in self-defense in Texas. And yet in the heart of lower Texas is San Antonio or "San Tone," as the natives say—one of the best towns for colored people in all the South. Colored men there vote strongly in BOTH PARTIES. That ought to awaken some thought even in the head of a Republican slave like Perry Howard. In fact, the Texas whites in other parts complain that one Negro politician is really the biggest single personal influence behind the scenes of government in that city. The colored people there boast that they are the fifth Negro city of the country in property holdings, though only 10,000 or so in number. Negroes run away from worse sections to San Antonio, I saw the girls of a family that had recently run away from peonage in Louisiana and are now being protected by San Oreans, meet Dr. Geo. W. C. P., and Supreme Chan- sus of P. — or else you might us. They are the types of Orleans, so far as its colony nine colored people in them, fine people too, are the deceitful mirage called personally all right, so why not argue with such a de- "wait and see." He will Antonio Negroes. And pet even here the big MONSTER of southern prejudice threatens and occasionally tears. There is one section of San Antonio where 80 per cent of the neighborhood is colored, and yet the Negro-hating part of the 20 per cent (not the 20 per cent, but the prejudiced fraction of it) have had the 80 per cent excluded from the park in that section because some few of the children of the white minority did not get along with some of the children of the black majority. It is the Negro that must pay. There are growing discriminations in other public places. When the proud committee drives you through the "zoo" park and points out: "Those burros there are bought and maintained by the Rotary Club of San-Tone to ride the chili- Book MARY WHITE "F BY WALTER WHITE.

Knopf, 780 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Price $2.60. By mail. $2.60. TO THOSE familiar with the swing and intensity of "The Fire in the Flint." "Flight" will come as a surprise and perhaps as a disappointment. Despite its title there is nothing of the rush of wings in "Flight." It is a carefully written, unemotional story of a very modern young colored girl, who can pass for white, moving from one milieu to another, never to convince us that she has found the right one. For a while we see our heroine, Mimi, in the last paragraph returning to the colored world and her child. We are not sure that she will not be both bored and disgusted with it, as she was before she went white. Somehow we do not take a passionate interest in her career as we did in the two brothers in the fire in the print. But reconcile yourself to the face that by your well-tail and by your flight, and you will find much to instruct and entertain. The description of Atlanta Negro society, its gradations according to color, its petty jealousies, are cleverly told. There are delightful pictures in it: Mrs. Daquin dressed as last grand ornament "half-mittens of black lace from which her fingers, short and round, emerged stylish like little fat sausages." The Hunter House, representative of the colored nouveau riche, "a huge pile of towers and turrets and builing bay windows adorned with mulberry trees, unlooked-for places with startling varieties of woodwork." In this environment Mimi and her father Jean, New Orleans Creoles, find themselves at first very much at sea. Mr. White should know his Atlanta, but one is amazed by the defiled admission to the Catholic Church. The little girl, sooner than the father, begins to feel at home, and we follow her Atlanta caver until she is a woman. Then her beloved father dies, she gets into disgrace, and her second wife migrates northwards and in Philadelphia her child is born. She works for him, enduring much hardship and some insult, until a kindly sister persuades her to come to New York, putting her child in a school. But while New York (and some insult) waits her secret and to escape from the persecution of her people she goes white. It is interesting to note the way the young modernists treat the heroine to whom is born an illegitimate child. Stribling is "tearful" with Witte in *Flight* "make you feel that the skin is of the slightest." And in this way they have the sanction of the greatest of poets, for did not Dante put carnal slimers in the first circle of hell, while below the gluttonous, the usurers, the hypocrites and the traitors? but Mimi does not love enough to keep one from having sympathy with the society that condemns her. There are no centuries of home life back in the New World where the past two generations have incessantly striven to build up should not be torn down, at least not by such poor lovers as Mimi and Carl. However, the Negroes show no such weakness, the Tecafellas and Mimi in the end goes back to their world. She is a pretty picture at the last. "Free! Free! Free!" she dren, and, the children, ride free," then you knowingly ask: "Negro children also?" The humiliating reply: "Only the white children, of course." And yet, as we all know, these Rotary Clubbers club their money out of white and black alike everywhere. And now El Paso. It is in the far western extremity of Texas. It takes 48 hours to ride from east to west in Texas—more than to go from Boston to Washington and back. El Paso is a mixture of Mexico and Texas. Even the "whites" are brownish. It is environment that creates the varieties of man: a tawny skin is the norm here. I irrigation is the only hope of vegetation here—the Rio Grande is the life source of the place—the Nile of this valley. In primitive superstition such a river would be venerated as a great god. Right over the river is Mexico—Juarez—and an alien civilization. They have bull fights over there, but never any lynchings. And today they have Jack Dempsey, the champion American heavyweight dodger. The bulls of Juarez are better sports. They have not dodged a fight with any opponent. There are less than 2,000 El Paso Negroes, but that they have GRIT is sufficiently attested by the fact that they have started one of the most significant court battles of our history—the "Nixon case" against "white primaries." If they win they will set the Negro along 100 years in progress. Chat BY THE OVINGTON night" Alfred A. Knopf, 780 Fifth Avenue, City mail, $2.60.

Wormley, Junior at Dartmouth College. Hanover, N. H., it was announced last week, has been awarded a scholarship to study biology at Woods, Hole, Mass., this Summer. He is the son of the principal of the Randall Junior High School, G. Smith Wormley, of this city. The scholarship award was made on the basis of competitive examination, eligibles being chosen from students having a high scholarship in zoology. The young zoologist is a graduate of Dumbar High School, class of 1923. YOUTH AWARDED ART PRIZE IN BOSTON WASHINGTON. — Francis Syphax, a sophomore at Boston University, has been awarded the first prize in the annual mid-Winter contest of the Art School of that university. Young Syphax, who is a resident of this city and a former pupil of Dunbar High School, where he won a scholarship for proficiency in his studies, is the first colored boy to win distinction in art at the University which has so significantly honored him. Keeping Fit:- By E. ELLIOTT RAWLING, M.D. Convalescent Care of Negro Patients AFTER a siege of acute sickness, when the vital structures of the body are in a state of debilitation, a convalescent home in some suburb or countryside is a blessing and a necessity to those convalescents needing fresh air, quiet and sunshine. In the past Negroes have not been able to secure this benefit to any great degree. Most of the convalescent homes which are supported by white people do not accept Negro convalescents. The convalescent homes which do accept Negroes are few, and those which do take them accept only one or two at the same time. A recent investigation has shown that while all the convalescents have place to go to recrieve Negro convalescents in most cases have to remain in the city and take a chance on getting thoroughly well. C. A., Negro regiment, Negro Elks, Negro community, Negro patients? This is an age of prejudices and a country in which there is much prejudice against the Negro. Establish your own culture or else accept what the white folks give you. There is no other alternative in our present stage of advancement. Negro doctors Negro doctors have known for a long time that this condition existed, but no definite or practical efforts have been by them to change their hardship to Negro convulsions. The Urban League has been trying to place Negro convalescents in convalescent homes. For the last five years this efficient organization has tried to overcome this barrier to Negro convalescents. With the increase of the Negro population in the city and the increase in sickness among our group, this lack of convalescent care has become alarming. The Jews have met the same situation by establishing their own convalescent homes. Negroes have done nothing up to now. The Urban League has been the only organization thus far helping to solve this health problem. Interested and philanthropic white people are now making an effort to establish a convalescent home on Staten Island where Negro convalescent may are not listed. White people are putting up most of the money. This is the only practical solution thus far advanced to solve this health problem of sufficient convalescent care for Negro patients. If Negroes will get together and put up the money for the establishment of such a convaleasant home, they will benefit not only the convaleasant sick but give prestige to the race. But no such effort is being made. Instead a howl goes up from the throats of Negro doctors crying out loud "Jim Crow!" "Segregation!" Why do not these same Negro doctors rebel against Negro churches, Negro Y. M. Know N. Y. State New York, though only 50th in area, leads all other States in many farm products. Among these are: cabbages, of which 255,000 tons were raised in 1925; onions, 3,342,000 bushels; green peas, 455,000 bushels; snap-beans, 66,000,000 bushels; tame hay, 8,700,000 tons. The Empire State also produced last year 600,000 tons of wool and seven billion pounds of milk. The State's dairy hords number a million and a half, and large numbers of thoroughbred dairy cattle are exported yearly. Twenty million acres of land make up the farms of New York. Of this total, nineteenth are held by native-born white farmers, and one-tenth, or two million acres, by foreign born. Twelve acres in the State are cultivated by Chinese and 121 acres by Japanese. The farm population of New York declined last year by 10,000. Of this group 1,000 were hired men, whose loss to the farms was more than offset by the increasing use of mechanical power. New York leads the country in the amount of taxes collected from its gas and electric utilities. State and municipal treasuries will this year reallocate $100 million, amounting to nearly two dollars each for every inhabitant. Ten million more will be paid to the U.S. Government. The average cost to the State for each public school pupil is now about $100 a year, as compared to $35 in 1918. Senator Arthur Capper Member of the board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas is known not only as an able party leader among the Reconciling as a public controller a number of critical newspapers and magazines. He was Governor of the State of Kansas from 1815 to 1819 and was elected U. S. C. A., Negro regiment, Negro Elks, Negro community, Negro patients? This is an age of prejudices and a country in which there is much prejudice against the Negro. Establish your own culture or else accept what the white folks give, give There is no other alternative in our present stage of advancement. Negro doctors should therefore stop passing resolutions condemning the establishment by white people of a Negro convalescent home. The Negro sick desire a place to go in order to regain their health. They do not want speeches, resolutions and arguments. They want a convalescent home. If the Negro physicians desire, with the help of the Negro community, to establish a convalescent home where Negroes may go, then their efforts are laudable and constructive; but their criticism and arguments are destructive when they "repudiate the Urban League, both locally and nationally, as a menace to the prestige, dignity and respect of the Negro physicians." To pass resolutions of condemnation is easy; to do constructive work along communal betterment lines is difficult. The Urban League, both in social, industrial and health problems, has given efficient and helpful service not only in New York City, but in many other large cities where the Negro faces city problems. If the Negro doctors of Harlem desire now to relieve the Urban League and other associated agencies of the burden and work in Negro health problems, I believe they can do it. They have become prosperous in their leading professional life of our society; they know what is needed for the health of the community. But will they do it? Will they give the time, money and thought demanded in this necessary work? I hope they will. Until then, their resolutions of condemnation are merely "bunk" and "emotional outbursts." Bubbles that will burst! Senator from Kansas for the term 1919 to 1925. Among the publications controlled by Senator Capper are: Capper's Weekly, Farmer's Mall and Breeze, Household Magazine, Nobraska Farm Journal and others. Senator Capper is President of the Kansas Agricultural Food Roads Association, and president of the board of relegents of the Kansas Agricultural College. HAITIANS TO HAVE BROADCASTING STATION John Russell. American High Commissioner in Haiti, reports to the Secretary of State that the Haitian Government has appropriated funds for the erection of a broadcasting station at Port au Prince. This public broadcaster will be of one killow power and will start transmitting to the natives this spring. It is the plan to install receiving sets in the market places of the important towns where the people assemble on market day. Short talks in Creole, the language of the illiterate peasants, will be delivered on such subjects as education, the Haitian laws, and agricultural problems, such as planting and caring for coffee and cotton, as well as the cultivation and care of other native crops and animals. When practicable, musical and other entertainment will be provided with a view of diverting the people and making for common unity. BISHOP GREGG BACK FROM SOUTH AFRICA Bishop John A. Gregg, who saluted with his wife for South Africa two years ago to take charge of the work of the A. M. E. Church that section of the world, has returned to this country. He was welcomed by Rev. E. H. Colm missionary secretary, and other multi-liturgical members of the church. Gregg has just completed a fine church in Cape Town, South Africa, the finest church edited owned by the Negroes of the Darwin continent.
