Battle Royal Predicted at Elks' Convention ANTI-LYNCHING KNIFED AGAIN SENATORIAL COMMITTEE KILLS BILL TO PUT END TO LYNCHING DR. SWEET'S BROTHER, HENRY, GOES FREE EXTRA LIQUOR-CRAZED MAN KILLED Crazed by liquor, Robert Miller, 281 Edgecombe avenue, was shot and killed instantly Sunday night when a roomer in the same apartment is said to have defended Miller's sister-in-law from his wild attack. According to Mrs. Vivian Gibbs, her brother-in-law quarreled with her while he was drunk and drew a knife. Another man in the apartment at the time is said to have then shot Miller in the back. It couldn't be learned from the police station whether or not charges would be made against the man who fired the shot or not. Detroit "Rights" Itself THAT ancient doctrine of law which declares that "a man's home is his castle" has been upheld by a Detroit jury and Henry Sweet, brother of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet, who, with eleven others, has just been tried for murder and was acquitted, the prosecutor announcing that he had not decided whether or not the remaining defendants will be brought to trial. The principal facts in the case are simple. A race physician, having established his home in a community over the objections of white "supremists," was besieged by a mob, bent upon "cleaning" the neighborhood of race residents. In due course, after countless outrages, persecutions, and malignant offenses, the good doctor, in defense of his "castle," took ordinary and reasonable precautions to protect himself and his family from mob violence; and, somehow or other, in the climax of a race disturbance, a white man was killed by some one. Whether the deceased was a member of the mob or an innocent bystander was not clearly shown; but he was the victim of the indirect results of mob rule; and, of course, someone had to be indicted for being the contributing cause of his demise. Without regard to the sordid details of the Sweet case, it is consulting to know that in the good State of Michigan twelve good men and true could be found who resolved to uphold the theory that a man's home is his castle; that the defense of same is merely self-defense, and that the charge for life snuffed out during the upholding of such legal traditions cannot be placed against the defenders. The Sweet case is notable on account of those particulars and because of the fact that colored America, itself hanging in the balance, regarded the Sweet case as their case, gave of their mite in the defense, and can justly gloat over the outcome, which should be a lesson to prospective mobbists the country over. As to the defendant principals, just people everywhere, white and black, will rejoice in their victory; for the same menace could beset any man in the protection of home and loved ones. The fortitude which the physician displayed; the fealty of his relatives and friends, and the cool judgment by them displayed under soul-trying conditions are examples for every man in America; for the mob must be owed: peaceful, law-abiding citizens must be assured of a real liberty, and that their lives and their families' lives will ever be protected. Anything less than this gives the lie to the cry of democracy so prevalent in this nation. I. ROBINSON DENIES MAKING STATEMENT Jacasc Robinson, a receiving clerk, whose wife, Lottie, of 35 West 132d street, was sent to Bellwood Hospital for observation last Wednesday, denies that he told Magistrate Corrigan that he be believed it unsafe for his wife to be permitted to go free, as reported last week. He also denies that the court asked him if he would take her bank and live with her. Miss Beatrice Frazier, his step-daughter, was present at the hearing. HARLESTON STILL IN CRITICAL CONDITION The condition of William Harleston, well-known fraternal, churchman and bondsman, who was shot last Monday morning, is still critical, according to a report from Harleston Hospital Tuesday morning. It is alleged that Harleston was shot after resisting arrest and pointing a revolver at Patrolman Charles Williams of the 135th street station. Nation Not Yet Ready to Take Responsibility for the Protection of the Lives of Its Citizens WASHINGTON, May 17.—No one will be responsible for the mobbing or lynching of a human individual in the United States. This became evident when the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was unceremoniously buried by the Senate Judiciary Committee by a vote of 9 to 3. Hopes among backers of the bill were strengthened several months ago when James Weldon Johnson appeared before Senate Committee and stressed the benefit to be derived from the bill. Only Senators Cummins (R., Ia.), and Ernst (R., Ky.), both of whom are candidates this year, and Ashurst (D., Arlz.), voted for it. Mr. Ashurst shared the hope of some Democrats that the bill might be reported where it could provoke the usual mock battle. Particularly they wanted to note how Senator Watson would react, seeing it is forcing him to choose between the Negro and the Ku Klux Klan vote in Indiana, both of which he has managed to keep in his camp so far. Senators Borah (R., Idaho), Means (R., Col.), Harreld (R., Okla.), Deneen (R., Ill.), Overman (D, N. C.), Reed (D, Mo.), Walsh (D, Mont.), Caraway (D, Ark), and King (D, Utah) were the nine who voted it down in committee. Senators Norris (R. Neb.), Gillett (R. Mass.), Neely (D, W. Va.) and Goff (R, W. Va.) were absent and did not vote. Usually the Dyer bill passes the House and is killed on the Senate floor. In times past there have been secret agreements in advance that the Republicans would roar in favor of it, the Democrats would dramatically filibuster — and it would be dropped after serving the political ends of those interested. This year, however, it did not even get through the House. "HELL FIGHTERS" TO MARCH MEMORIAL DAY Colonel Hayward will again lead his "Hell Fighters" in the "Memorial Day parade. The veterans will be dressed in their overseas uniform and cap.

While a forest fire was burning all about his house, Shade Stevenson, 28, sat on a rocking chair and played his ukulele, watching the members of four fire companies, Boy Scouts, volunteers, totaling about 500 men, fight the fire. Asked by Mayor Arthur Mueller to help fight the fire, Stevenson laughed and said fire fighting was not his business and kept on playing his ukulele. He was arrested and fined $10 by Magistrate Frederick Berchtold. The fire destroyed over 1,000 acres of timber land. Chief of Police Phillip Reinhard was overcome by smoke and was carried from the burning woods. William Buck, a fireman, sustained a broken arm. The poultry plant of Phillip Petrie, with the entire stock, valued at $10,000, was destroyed. Minnie Lynch's Case Postponed About 20 Persons in Court Ready to Give Lie to Charge of Prostitution Upon the motion of Assistant District Attorney Western, the case of Mrs. Minnie Lynch, 486 St. Nicholas avenue, charged with prostitution, was adjourned Tuesday morning until Monday, May 24, by Magistrate Joan Norris in the Jefferson Market Court. The principal witness for the prosecution, the police officer, was detained before the Grand Jury, and upon that condition Magistrate Norris sustained the motion of the District Attorney. Parke L. Woodward, attorney for Mrs. Lynch, did not object to the adjournment. About 20 people, of both races, were present to testify to the defendant's character. About 15 minutes before the case was called one of the witnesses for Mrs. Lynch fainted because of a nervous strain. Mrs. Lynch was dressed in a blue tailored suit, and she wore a small black hat. She is tall, slender, and dignified. It is alleged that a "stool pigment" rented a room from Mrs. Minnie Lynch, wife of Frank Lynch, about two months ago. He paid $7 for the room, asked for a towel to wash up and then went to the bathroom. A few minutes later the bell rang, two detectives rushed in, arrested Mrs. Lynch, and charged her with prostitution. The case came up at the Jefferson Market Court on May 6 and May 18. $30 INTEREST CHARGED FOR LOAN OF $70 Claiming that Anna Norton, 45, 198 West 134th street, borrowed $70 and promised to give him $30 interest, Bennie Schuman, white, butcher, 120 East 110th street, drew a complaint, charging her with larceny and alleges she failed to keep her promise to return any part of the sum. The woman was held in $1,000 bail by Magistrate George Simpson in the Heights Court Monday for a further hearing.

SUSTAINING FUND OF $375,000 ASKED BY LEAGUE SUSTAINING FUND OF $375,000 ASKED BY LEAGUE Amount Required to Finance National, New York City and Brooklyn Work for Next Three Years The first big co-operative movement among the Negroes of New York starts Wednesday, May 19, under combined white and colored direction, with the announcement of a single $375,000 campaign to finance the next three years' budgets of the National Urban League, the New York Urban League, and the Brooklyn Urban League. The occasion of the announcement was the first meeting of the campaign General Committee, attended by two hundred supporters and workers, at the campaign headquarters. 8 East 41st street, New York, on May 4. That the campaign has the support of President Coolidge was made known, to the enthusiasm of (Continued on Page 2.) Hospital Night Watchman and Employee in Fight Charged with fracturing the skull of James Sullivan, 60, a white night watchman at Lincoln Hospital, Edward Bank, 26, dishwasher in the same institution, was held without hall by Magistrate Douras in the Morrisania Court Sunday for a further hearing this week. Bank had a day off Saturday and was entering the grounds of the institution to report for work when he was intercepted by the watchman, who did not recognize him as an employee and demanded to know what he wanted. Banks, according to the police, resented being questioned by the watchman and insisted on going into the hospital. When Sullivan tried to prevent him he picked up a milk bottle and struck the night watchman over the head, it is charged Trio Held for Drug Violations Two Men in Case Denied Bail—Woman Held in $500 Accused of having opium in their possession, two men were held without bail and a woman in $500 bail for a further hearing by Magistrate George Simpson in the Washington Heights Court Monday morning. Dr. Edward J. Kelly, city chemist, testified that he had examined the powder given him by the arresting officer and said that it was opium. The defendants pleading not guilty gave their names as Blanche Clarke, 230 West 146th street; Louis Brown, 43, 118 West 129th street, and Harvey Hargrave, 32, 69 West 132nd street. Patrolman Irving Higgins of the Narcotic Division took the stand against the woman. He said that he went to the apartment after being informed that narcotics were on the premises. The defendants' counsel contended that the drug was being used for medicinal purposes. HARLEM REALTOR DROPS SUIT AGAINST AMSTERDAM Satisfied Articles, Though Untrue, Were Inserted in Paper Without Malice Dart's Alienation Suit Dismissed Having been assured by I. Douglas Wetmore, legal adviser of The Amsterdam News, that a story inserted in the paper March 5, 1924, was based upon reports believed to be authentic and that the news story was inserted without malice, the label suit against the publication brought by Ransom S. Morgan, a real estate dealer and broker, with offices at 2161 Seventh avenue, was discontinued by mutual consent when it was reached on the Supreme Court calendar Friday morning. Mr. Morgan was represented by Attorney Gordon S. P. Kleeburg, of No. 66 Broadway. Attorney Kleeburg satisfied The Amsterdam News that Mr. Morgan was not a party to the divorce action of Henry N. Dart and his wife; that Mr. Morgan was not served with any papers and was not present in court when the case was tried. Therefore The Amsterdam News cheerfully makes full and complete retraction of the fact as printed in the aforementioned issue of the paper. Mr. Morgan's retraction also covers Mrs. Dart to Saratoga and other places outside the State. The publishers of The Amsterdam dam News sincerely regret any inconvenience Mr. Morgan has suffered as a result of the erroneous report, or any damage caused to his reputation and character. A few days prior to that—May 12—an alienation suit for $25,000 against Mr. Morgan, brought by Henry Dart of Briar Cliff Manor N. Y., was dismissed by Supreme Court Justice Wasservogel. HENRY FORD, NOT FLIVVER KING, HELD Henry Ford, 31, 273 East 132d street, was arraigned before Magistrate Douras in the Morrissiana Court. Monday, and held in $2,500 ball for examination today on suspicion of burglary. Ford used an ice pick and an ax as his tools in entering the lunch room of John Burns, 101 East 138th street. He was arrested by Policeman James Howe. --- "Lost?" "Oh, No! I Had Lots to Eat" "No, I didn't get lost. I went to eat, on some friends. No. I wasn't hungry. I had lots to eat—coffee and bread and chocolate and——I had a fine time." "Did you have a good time at your new home?" "Yes." "Then why did you run away?" "I didn't." These are some of the questions and answers in the case of Julia Ramós, a nine-year-old Porto Rican, who was sent to the Children's Society Saturday. Two years ago she came here to live with an nunt and uncle at 205 East 90th street, and later lived with another uncle on Lexington avenue. Saturday night she was found in a hallway near her old home. Neighbors said she had been in the vicinity several days, begging meals and sleeping no one knew where. James A. Hewlett Honorably Freed Court Urges Him to Bring Charges Against Officer for False Arrest James A. Hewlett, of 103 West 141st street, a Government employee, who was arrested by Patrolman Robert of the 135th street station in the Seventh District Municipal Court, last Monday, and taken to the 123d street police station, where he was charged by the officer with disorderly conduct, was dismissed by Magistrate Corrigan when the case was heard in Washington Heights Court. Wednesday. Not only was Mr. Hewlett freed of the charge, but was advised by the court to sue Officer Robert for false arrest. Patrolman Robert was in the court at the time as a spectator with his wife, who was a witness, and one of the co-operative owners of the apartment houses located at 103-109 West 141st street. At the end of the morning session, Mr. Hewlett says that he was talking to another man interested in the case when Robert interfered without invitation and later placed him under arrest. Contrary to the report printed in last week's issue of The Amsterdam News, Mr. Hewlett was not ordered placed under arrest by the presiding justice and The Amsterdam News has been reliably informed that a court attendant, on duty at the time refused pointblank to place Mr. Hewlett under arrest. Mr. Hewlett also stated he would file charges against the patrolman with Police Commissioner McLaughlin, after securing a certified copy of the minutes from the stenographer of the magistrate's court. BENJAMIN DAY, OF LITTLE NECK, DIES Mr. Benjamin Day, who lived in Wrights Court, Little Neck, L. L. died early Monday morning after a father protracted illness. His widow survives. Mr. Day was the father of Mrs. Earle Day-Saxon, a graduate of Hunter College and a teacher in Public School 83 --- Henry, Brother of Dr. Ossian Sweet, Freed by Jury After Three Hours' Deliberation — Other Cases May Be Dropped DETROIT, Mich., May 17. A verdict of not guilty was returned in Judge Frank Murphy's court at 5:15 p.m. Thursday, in the case of Henry Sweet, charged with complicity in the slaying of Leon E. Breiner, white, fatally shot last September during a race disturbance in front of 2905 Garland avenue. Whether the acquittal will mean the dropping of the cases against the ten other defendants arrested following the shooting is a matter Prosecutor Robert M. Tonis said he had not decided. The jury spent three hours and 35 minutes in actual deliberation. It was locked up at 1:35 p.m. At 3:00 p.m. it sent out a note asking whether a crowd in front of the house would necessarily give the defendant the right to shoot. The judge ignored the note's request for a reply. At 5:10 one of the jurymen rapped at the door and announced that an agreement had been reached. SPECTATORS CAUTIONED. Colored and white people filled the courtroom as the jury filed in. Before the report was read by the foreman Judge Murphy cautioned spectators against making any demonstration. "Do not let passion interfere with your acceptance of this verdict, whatever it may be," he warned. "Accept it courageously and with a good will." A murmur ran through the courtroom as the verdict was delivered, but there was no further display of emotion. The judge complained the various attorneys for their conduct during the trial, declaring it "relected honor upon the city." Clarence Darrow and Thomas F Chawke, defense attorneys, were congratulated by many of the spectators. LIST OF JURYMEN. the jurors, all white, were: Charles Thorne, 11545 Nardh avenue, sailor on the Great Lake for 50 years. William B. Brunswick, 3340 Car ter avenue, locomotive engineer. Edward B.

DETECTIVES DIVERSES, INVESTIGATIONS, BOULIN DETECTIVE AGENCY 110 East 154th St. Harlem 60650 (night) PIERCE'S SLAYER ESCAPES NOOSE COURT OF ERRORS AND APPEALS SAYS NOEL IS INSANE Prosecutor Mpves to Bring Young White Man to Trial for Kidnapping and Murder of Daly Girl The conviction of Harrison Noel, son of a prominent white family in Montclair, New Jersey, for the cold-blooded murder of Raymond Pierce, a taxicab driver, last September, was set aside by the Court of Errors and Appeals in Trenton Monday. Noel, who is now in an inmate in the death house at the State Prison, was declared insane in the court by a vote of 12-1. This vote came as a surprise after scientists and specialists failed to establish insanity at his trial last Fall. Although the cruel murder of Pierce will in all likelihood go unrevened, Noel will probably face trial for the kidnapping and killing of Mary Daly, a little white girl of Montclair, Prosecutor J. Vincent Barnett, of Passaic County, where indictment against Noel for the murder of the Daly girl was returned, declared the reversal of the Essex County conviction "does not mean Noels acquittal by any means." He said that if Essex County authority fail to move toward a retrial he will act to have the youth brought to Passaic County for trial. The arrest of Noel the day after the body of Pierce was discovered lying in Essex County road resulted in a shakeup in the Essex County hospital for the insane, from which it was said Noel escaped about a year ago. Before his trial an insanity hearing was held and it was decided Noel was in a mental state to stand trial. Dix W. Noel, lawyer, of No. 61 Wall street, father of the boy, who refused to provide legal aid for him during the trial, refused to discuss the case. Jury Acquits Henry Sweet (Continued from Page 1.)

In the house were 11 persons and quantities of shoguns, revolvers and ammunition, while outside was a mob of whites, bent upon molesting them. DARROW STATEMENT. Darrow in a statement following the verdict said that he believed the effect of the Sweet trial would be beneficial. Both Negroes and whites have to learn the lesson of forbearance; he stated. "Personally I feel that the sentiment against the Negro is one of prejudice, growing out of the Negroes' recent rise from slavery. But prejudices have to be recognized with as much as facts. "And the whites cannot be held responsible for their prejudices, for all of us are products of environment. None of us is responsible for our old prejudices. The Negro must remember that it takes a long time to overcome habits and prejudices. His progress is bound to be slow, but I feel that it will be sure. It will come by mutual understandings and consideration rather than by legislation. I beieve that the occasion of this crime will be the offence of the white and the black man alike." In his charge Judge Murphy emphasized the point that excusable homicide arose only from circumstances that gave the appearance of imminent or actual danger. According to Judge Murphy's charge, a man had no right to resist assault with violence if he could safely retreat. On this point, however, he added: "A man is not obliged to retreat if he is assaulted in his own dwelling. Prior to making his charge Judge Murphy denied a motion of defense counsel to declare a mistrial because of statements made by Prosecutor Robert Toms in his closing arguments to the jury. The defense claimed that Toms had made an indirect reference to the fact that Sweet had not taken the stand in his own defense. This, the defense contended, was prejudicial. Judge Murphy based his denial upon the grounds that he could find no element in Toms' remarks that could be construed as prejudicial to the defendant. Urban Leagues Ask $375,000 Fund (Continued from Page 1.) those present, by the reading of a letter in which the President states: "I have the utmost sympathy for, and confidence in, the general program of the Urban League, which I believe is calculated to accomplish much practical benefit." Special committees were selected for Brooklyn for Manhattan, for Harlem, and for New Jersey. L. Hollingsworth Wood, acting chairman pending the selection of a permanent director, detailed the plan of the campaign and said that each of the three co-operating organizations would share in the tool according to its needs. The campaign will run till July 4. The work of the three leagues, according to Mr. Wood, included last year over 7,500 individual contracts on such matters as rural adjustment, housing, health and employment. Frederick P. Hanley was selected as campaign director. Among those attending were: from New York, Theodore Roosevelt, Paul Robinson, Mrs. Mary Simkovitch, Arthur Sachs, Bertram H. Fanch, Lloyd Garrison, Curtis J. Beard, Paul C. Kellogg, Arthur C. Holden and Jude Joseph, Michael Sprokauw. From Brooklyn, Ralph Chambers, President of the Brooklyn Chambers Society, Warren William H Baldwin, Mrs. Thomas L.

Commission Dismisses Suit Says It Has No Jurisdiction in Discrimination Cases WASHINGTON, May 17.—The Interstate Commerce Commission has dismissed for want of jurisdiction a case long fought in connection with the accommodation furnished to Negroes on board passenger trains. Dr. E. Crosby sought $20,000 damages for alleged failure of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway and others to furnish him and Negro passengers in general the same train and station privileges as afforded to white passengers. Megalogis of undue prejudice the commission said, were not shown with sufficient defensibility to warrant the entry of an order. It was added that the commission had no jurisdiction to award palliative or exemplary damages. Dr. Crosby, at the time working as a travelling salesman, charged that between April 10, 1922, and November 7, 1924, in addition to failure of the roads to give him accommodations similar to those accorded the whites, Pullman accommodations were refused him and that in other ways he was subjected to unreasonable regulations in violation of the Interstate Commerce Act. The billboards declared that the allegations, even if true, did not constitute violations of the act. Freed of Vagrancy Charge. On a charge of vagrancy, William Talbert, address unknown, was released by Magistrate Corrigan in the Heights Court last week following the report of a probation officer attached to the court.

Mrs. McIntosh Files Answer Emphatically Denies All Charges and Set up Counter Claim Mrs. Leonell McIntosh of No 2157 Madison avenue, New York City, through her attorneys, Maslon, Gellinoff and Shapiro, of 170 Broadway. New York City, has served an answer to the divorce action brought against her by her husband. Alexander H. McIntosh of No 32 West 127th street, New York City. The answer not only emphatically denies all the charges brought against her by her husband, but also contains a counterclaim for divorce charging her husband with misconduct with several women. The answer alleges that between April 20, 1922, and October 1, 1924, Mr. McIntosh at various times at No. 117 West 142nd street, New York City, and at No. 108 West 153rd street, New York City, had improper relations with a certain woman named in the answer. In declining to furnish the name of the woman with whom it is alleged McIntosh had improper relations, Attorney Gallinoff of the law firm said: "It would be, indeed, a grave injustice to the woman to mention her name publicly. I have been informed that she is now married and living with her husband and who I have been told, knows all the facets. The records on file in the Court and the testimony at the trial will, however, bear out all of Mrs. McIntosh's charges." The McIntoshes have been separated for the past three years. There are two children of the marriage, both of whom live with Mrs. McIntosh. SCHOOL GIRL LOSES SAVINGS TO SWINDLER A fifteen year old school girl became the victim of the "Lemon Pool" game last week. This fact was made known Monday when Elizabeth Burgesz, 96 West 125th street, appeared as complainant against Ned Mills, 28, elevator operator, 236 West 124th street, in the Washington Heights Court. Mills pleaded not guilty to the charge and asked for an adjournment until later this week. He was held against by Magistrate George Simpson, according to the complaint Mills personed the young girl to draw $69 from her Postal Savings account at the Sub-Post Office Station in 140th street. 1 NADINOLA Bleaching Cream contains the surest bleaching properties known, blended in such a way that they cannot possibly harm your skin.

AGENTS WANTED of Florida could "ill afford to have such a stain as that caused by the slaying of the man at this time when the eyes of the nation were on the State." Watson was found dead with five bullet wounds in his body and his face seared by acid. The theory has been advanced that some persons believed Watson knew the location of a large amount of stolen goods and applied the acid in an effort to force him to reveal the cache. Watson had been arrested for alleged burglaries here. A coroner's jury at Labelle, summoned Tuesday night, reserved its verdict until Wednesday in the case of Patterson, who is accused of attacking a white woman at her home near here. Officers said they had learned that the woman told her friends that she had only become freightened at his presence and that he had not attacked hed. John Thompson, who said in a sad voice that he had neither home nor relatives, was sent to the workhouse. Thompson was picked up roaming around the colored section of Jamaica in the early hours of the morning by a patrolman. He told the patrolman he was an old man, 65, and that he did not like the idea of having no place to go.

PROCTOR ELECTED MODERATOR OF NEW YORK ASSOCIATION Four Hundred Delegates, Mostly White,Unanimous in His Choice—"Give Us Nothing Because We Are Black," He Pleads Rev. Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of the Nazarene Congregational Church in Brooklyn, was last week elected head of the New York Association of Congregational Churches, which is made up of the sixty-five churches of that faith in New York City and has a membership of 31,000, only 5,000 of whom are Negroes. This action took place in St. Mark's Congregational Church in Brooklyn. When the name of the Rev. Dr. Proctor was placed before the 400 delegates they unantimously chose him. As the delegates, most of them white men and women, rose to their feet cheering, the doctor was overcome with emotion. His voice trembling, he said: "My race has wiped out nineteens of its illiteracy, but it has not yet learned how to hate and in their name I bring you the love thought of a race. This is the greatest honor that has come to me and I have never felt more humble to than-day. I wish here and now to dedicate myself afresh to the highest and best things for the upward for the promotion of our intercultural for which I have ever stood. The interests of the two races are identical, and the very best lesson we can learn is how better to love each other. "That the colored race is not a shifttless race is indicated by the fact that despite unfavorable conditions we have accumulated since our manumission two billion dollars worth of property. Another illustration that ours is not a shifttless race is the fact that it remains true to race and this country for nearly 300 years. Within the last ten years, however, a million Negroes have left the section of their original habitat. "Behind this great movement there are three great outstanding reasons. The first was the response of the race to the call of the North to fill the labor vacuum created by the World War. Another was the prescription, oppression and persecution suffered by the race in the South. The other is our intense desire for self-realization in the American Democracy. "But we have come merely to get something, but also to give of the best that is within us. Given a full opportunity we shall bring certain distinct racial contributions. One of these is that of physical stamina, for the black is the only race that can do a full day's work in any part of the globe he finds himself. Another is a contribution of patriotism, for we have never raised our hand against the "DON'T WEAR GLASSES" unless you are sure they are right for your eyes. If you will call and see me, I will advise you without cost or obligation. Dr. D. Kaplan, Optometrist, 531 Lenox Avenue. Harlem's Well Known Dentist Gives his personal attention to all patients.

We may also be expected to bring a spiritual contribution, for the colored race is nothing if not spiritual. The great need of the great materialistic world is spiritual. "I therefore plead for a larger opportunity for my race in every line of practical endeavor. Give us nothing because we are black. Deny us nothing because we are not white. The Church must be a leader in this, and in this instance, Congregationalists have done a thing to build Brooklyn the kind of a church for my people that will function in their entire lives. I want this to stand as a monument to those brave black boys of the World War who sought so valiantly, worked so faithfully, and after it was all over buried so tenderly the 67,000 bodies of our American boys who fell in that struggle." His election is the culmination of a long career. He was born in 1868 in Fayetteville, Tenn., son of Robt. and Mary Proctor, who worked on a plantation as slaves until the end of the war. Their son graduated from Flake University, Nashville, Tenn., in 1891, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and in 1894 he received the degree of Bachelor of Medicine. In the same year he was called to the First Congregational church of Atlanta, Ga., where he remained for twenty-five years. When this country entered the World War Gen. Pershing commissioned him to visit the Negro troops at the front and to act as their spiritual adviser. In 1919 he came to New York after being named as pastor the Nazarene Congregational Church, Harkler street and Perry avenue, Brooklyn, a Negro congregation." ALLEGED GRABBER OF WOMAN'S PURSE HELD For snatching a woman's pocketbook, a 19-year-old youth was held in $2,000 ball by Magistrate Corrigan in the Heights Court Thursday to await the action of the Grand Jury.

AVENUE 140th STREET --- --- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1926 was held without bail by Magistrate Corrigan in the Heights Court Thursday for Special Sessions. He pleaded not guilty to both charges. According to Assistant District Attorney Ewald, Richard bought a $17 dress last Saturday from Irving Birnbaum, 1368 Sherman avenue, and gave him a check drawn on the Passaic National Bank of Passaic. The draft was signed "John Malcolm," who is a depositor in the bank. On receiving the check back with a notice that the check was worthless, Birnbaum said, he notified Detective Duane of the 135th Street Station. The officer went to the 142nd street address and placed Richard under arrest. From his fingerprints Richard was connected with the robbery of a Harlem flat at 156 West 144th street, occupied by Charles Bryan.

FRANCIS THERE are so many varied, but nevertheless excellent, reasons why some intense and concerted efforts should be made to recruit junior tennis players in our ranks, and also to stimulate the interest, not only of tennis players and fans, but the men and women of our community in the movement, that we would be sorely disappointed if some concrete action is not taken in the near future. We have pointed out before the advantages that tennis affords our youth, and what an important factor it should be in the training of a boy or girl. Tennis enables them to get a few hours of healthful exercise in the air and sunshine daily, for at least six months in the year, exercise that is not a bore, but a delight. It develops character, initiative, quick thinking, self-reliance and honesty, all of which are embodied as chief elements of the game as it is played today. a representative British tennis player. When Vincent Richards and other leading American players visit Jamalca, Clark mets them as a representative of his island home, and Richards has advised over his own signature that Clark should come up to the United States and enter the various tennis tournaments for the experience necessary to make his game finished an intimation that there is not enough real competition for him in Jamalca. Character and honesty, because all through your play, each opponent alternates as the judge of the fairness of his opponent's strokes, thereby deciding the winner of the point; you must accept his decision, and he yours. Quick thinking, because play is so quick and continuous that one has but a fraction of a second to decide what is best to do, so as to allow for co-ordination of brain and muscle. Initiative and self-reliance, because one must solve the problem of defeating his opponent without the help of others. The boy or girl is taken from the temptations, desires, and hazards of street and sidewalk playing and placed in the enclosure of nice kept tennis courts, amid curtions and among men and women that cannot help but exert an influence of respectability in them that they would not care to depart from. A mind trained along the line we have outlined when it is young is an asset to the individual in the mature years of his life, and a healthy body will help a clean mind to function to the best advantage possible. This point is exemplified in the efforts our schools and colleges make to interest their pupils in athletics of all kinds. We can also look at the proposition from another angle, that of race pride. In all forms of amateur athletics, our race has had a worthy and capable representative at some time or other, and this in spite of limitations in the advantages we have had for proper early training. Whenever we have had the chance to represent our race or country, we have seldom failed to deliver, and through a peculiar combination of natural ability and other circumstances, we have excelled in so many athletic endeavors that we have commanded an open and avowed respect for our competitive ability, and forced a reluctant recognition. This the race cannot help but feel proud of, yet in tennis we are without any representative worthy of serious attentions. In Jamaica, West Indies, Mr. B. Clark is the leading exponent of the net game in the island, with the players of almost equal ability all white, but his ability commands so much respect that when a representative team was selected to represent Jamaica in England a couple of years ago Mr. Clark was one of the team selected. He met the best in England and they are proud of him, not as Clark, a Jamaican Negro, but as FROM MANILA the Wonder CIGAR FLOR de SABELA Royals 5¢ only at UNITED CIGAR STORES Laws passed in shaded hammers are active the months here. FOUR a representative British tennis player. When Vincent Richards and other leading American players visit Jamaica, Clark met them as a representative of his island home, and Richards has advised over his own signature that Clark should come up to the United States and enter the various tennis tournaments for the experience necessary to make his game finished an intimation that there is not enough real competition for him in Jamaica. We feel that the only barrier we have in the U. S. so far as a tennis representative of the race is concerned, is one of ability. There is slight chances of any of the old heads reaching the top or getting to that stage of perfection where they can be seriously considered, because either they started too late, or the foundation of their game is wrong and consequently weak, therefore it is up to us to build up for the future, around our juniors, start them young and start them right. And in years to come we will boast of one of our race as a representative of the United States in future Davis Cup or other national or international tennis competition. Competent tennis experts say "it requires ten years to develop a great player." They should know, of course, but we think with the natural aptitude for athletics of the youth of today, they will have to cut off a few years. Our effort to improve our standing in tennis should not be an individual duty only, or one of community, but one of national race prestige and race pride. This article should appeal to all the country where tennis is played and no attention given to the kids. If the new executives of the New York Tennis Association do nothing else than to start some youngsters in the game this season, and start them right, they will have contributed to an advancement of meritorious endeavor that may not only benefit tennis in New York, but the race in general, an achievement of real merit. It is no easy task, but obstacles are only impediments when we look at them as obstacles, and the old saying "Where there's a will, there's a way" holds good in our tennis situation. National Guard Fighters to Meet in Brooklyn Friday Biddle Paradise, South Brooklyn bantam weight, recent winner over Dave Kanzer and others and who shows promise of developing into one of the best boys in the National Guard ranks, will clash with Kid Rash, bantam champion if the regimental boxing ranks, in an eight-round bout at the Twenty-seventh Division Train Armory, Marcy avenue and Lynch street, next Friday night. Jack "Kid" Bates, 369th Regiment lightweight, who has engaged in brilliant bouts with Joe Glick, Tony Palmer and others of like calibre, will tangle in an eight-rounder with Nick Palmer, the crack South Brooklyn boy. Scotty Horsburg, bantam of the Connecticut, National Guard, a consistently good performer in a number of appearances here the past few months, will meet Sailor Grande in another bout of eight rounds duration. Grande a short time ago won the all-navy bantam-weight championship. Patsy Barbera of the 244th C. A. and Mickey Callahan of Fort Jay. Andy Masterline of the 25th Train and Soldier Shaw of Fort Jay, will clash in six-rounders. Young Haitians Going Strong for Soccer, Report PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, May 17.—Soccer is rapidly replacing revolutions in the interest of the native Haitian. More than 60 clubs have been organized in the Black Republic into a competitive league known as the Union of Sporting Societies of Halft, and in addition to the organized teams many independent outfits are entering the field coached by American Marines. The cock-fighting ring and the old hide-and-seek banditry rendervous are alike being deserted by athletic young blacks anxious to learn or to watch the intricacies of the heel and elbow game. Suggs Furnishes Thrills at the Big Garden Down at Madison Suqare Garden last Friday night it was left to Chick Suggs, sensational fighter from New England, to furnish the thrills to about 15,000 fans that wended their way into Mr. Rickard's home of swat to see the fistic dreworks. Sugga met Johnny Brown, said to be bantam champion of England, and going at top speed he administered a sound thrashing to the white lad, the referee being forced to stop the bout in the fifth round to save Brown. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. MAY 19. 1926 American Collegiate Athletic Association Definitely Organized WASHINGTON, D. C., May 17.—What was perhaps the most far-reaching event of the year in Negro athletic circles is the definite organization of the American College Athletic Association at Howard University, Washington, D. C, May 7, 1928. This organization, if judged by its initial membership, certainly is national in its scope and influence. To make any mention of this meeting without taking note of the fine spirit of co-operation would certainly be lacking in one of the main features. Every man present seemed to have a deep sense of his responsibility and absolute harmony prevailed throughout the organization. The American Collegiate Athletic Association is the culmination of a desire among the Negro institutions of the United States to set up some one central athletic association with broad principles that is large enough for the largest and small enough for the smallest. To Louis L. Watson of Howard University, together with representatives from a number of other institutions, goes the credit of actually putting this dream into a reality. The most important business transacted was the adoption of the constitution and by-laws and election of officers. Ed. Deady Beats Sensational Boys' High School Star PHILADELPHIA, May 15—New Utrecht H, S. made a determined bid for the national interscholastic track and field championship at Franklin Field this afternoon, but fell short by one-half point.

GOOD NEWS (INCLUDES BATHS AND SLEEPING ACCOMMODATIONS) Nelson Victor in Tourney Bob Nelson, the Holy Name Club's colored lightweight, engaged in two spirited contests before he emerged victor in the 138-pound division at the amateur boxing tourney of the Upper Harlem Taxpayers Association, at the New Manhattan Casino last Friday night. In his first tilt Bob was returned the winner in three rounds over Canegarta Lee, Salem-Crescent A. C. star. In the final encounter, with Leroy Johnson, Star B. C. Bob just managed to catch the judges' eyes at the conclusion of three fast cantas. Card From Black Bill The mail from Cuba one day last week brought us a card from little Black Bill, who begs us to convey his best regards to the bundreds of friends he made during his campaign that saw him whipping the best they could secure to meet him among the little men of the prize ring. Bill tells us that he plans to return here next month ready for another rush through the ranks' as he never felt better. The Cuban is one of the best boys of his weight and even when they are taking the decisions from him he performs in a manner to satisfy all the fans. With the Billiardists By OLD IVORY. Saw Garcia. Asst. Advertising Manager of the New York Amsterdam News, at practice a few mornings ago in the Emporium on the professional pocket table. Wonderer who is shaping up to match between him and the National sport writer, Al Moses, would be a Whang. What say you, Garcia? Al is ready. The Management of the Lafayette Billiard Emporium posted the entries sheet for the Second Annual Handicap Tournament among the June I. The first one held last year was very satisfactory to all concerned and this year it is expected a larger field will enter. It is a matinee affair, and only musicians are eligible. Clarence Jones, Cleff Club secretary and Champion billiardist among the musicians last year, has hied himself and Co. to the mountains for the summer. "Tis said he taxis down to New York by aeroplane daily. He is keeping up to form, expecting to retain his championship in this year's billiard tournament among musicians. It is the desire of those concerned that the same Handicap Committee, Gray, Wilson, Wise, Peters, Willis, will confer handicaps as their handicapping was very satisfactory last year. Mr. Geo. Ingram, prominent citizen and business man of Ashtabula Ohio, is spending a few weeks in the city perfecting himself by an intense course in his line of business, tonsorialist and beauty culturist. Incidently, he is a lover of billiards and plays a nifty game. He is doing his recreation exercises at the Emporium while in the city. A full Sporting News Service is now being published daily in the Lafayette Billiard Room as they occur, through a double Sporting News Service. A special baseball score board has been added for the benefit of patrons. Seats in the balcony free. Any reader knowing the name and address of Black Frank, champion colored pocket billiardist of Pittsburgh, Pa., will do a favor to the Management of the Lafayette Billiard Emporium by forwarding same to Mgr.

Special Features Planned for Renaissance Dance at Manhattan Casino --- Popular Basketball Players Who Came Within an Ace of World Championship to Carry On WHILE many affairs are being planned for the first big summer holiday, which will be here on Monday, May 31st, and a day which few will fail to recall, as it is Decoration Day, we make bold to state that none will surpass that planned by the Renaissance Five at the Manhattan Casino. Plans are practically complete to make this one of the biggest nights in the history of entertainments of this kind in Gotham, and aside from the special features which will be offered, Fletcher Henderson and his Roseland Orchestra will be on the jib "all night long" to keep the crowd in good spirits while dancing. Although our boys did not put up the kind of game of which the world know they are capable at the 2009 Armory the night they met the world-beating Celtics when more than 8,000 rabid fans turned out to greet them, they came within an ace of coping the world's championship by heroic work in Philadelphia, Atlantic City and Orange. N. J., against the same team. Monday night, May 21, will be one on which Manager "Bob" Douglas, his players and the men fostering the team renew friendships and acquaintances. During the Winter months thousands travel to Renaissance Casino Sunday nights to see the colored stars in action and this big affair will be in the nature of a monster celebration of one of the most successful seasons enjoyed by the colored champions. "Lucky Sambo" to Be Shown at Columbia This is the era of colored entertainment and one of biggest ever organized is Hurricane & Seamons all new "Lucky Sambo," which makes its bow Saturday night of this week at the Columbia Theatre, Broadway and 47th street, to remain all Summer, with daily matrons.

Admirola BLEACH CREAM Ethiopian entertainment; names there are on the roster known and admired wherever musical pieces have played. Some of the principals are making their initial burlesque appearance; all have played in higher-priced offerings prior to their "Lucky Sambo" engagement. Just glimpse this array of performers and try to recall any single show within memory that has ever had so many stars; Julia Moody, star recorder of phonograph disks, is the featured feminine player, and she is doing her famous "blues" singing specialty, besides playing in the two acts and many of the 10 big scenes. Her disks are a good introduction for her. Then there is comical Billy Higgins, as droll a colored chap as ever made an audience shriek with merriment. Billy has been given the bulk of the comedy, but he is eminently capable of carrying the fun burden to a successful laugh climax in every instance. The beet colored straight man on the stage is Ernest R. Whitman and in "Lucky Sambo" he is given ample opportunities to display his famous wardrobe of modish attire. Joe Byrd is another fine comedian, and two other laugh providers will be seen when Arthur Porter and James Watts shuffle into the spotlight. Singing there will be aplenty, with Three Dixie Songbirds, a trio of Southern girls, in specialties and vocal ensembles. "Red" Cassidy and Nina Hunter, will be seen in displays of extraordinary Russian dancing. Jim Vaughan and his Jazz Hounds are talking-machine record makers, and these 12 musicians are guaranteed to be about the jazziest instrumentalists ever. And backing the principals you will find the famous Black Diamond speed chorus, 18 pretty Black-and-tan misses and eight fast-stepping colored youths. Their lightning-like "hoofling" and Charleston dance will prove a revelation. Last, but not by any means the least, is the Five Crackerjacks greatest dancing act in the world. "The March of the Big Parade," a big spectacular effect in which the entire company of 90 people appears, is calculated to get the audiences on their feet cheering. They Are Setting 'Em Heavy at the Alhambra Down at the Allambra Theatre on Monday night they opened with a rattle and a bang and we would not be surprised to see the crowds lined up at this house all during the run of the revue being topped by Messrs. Rector, Cooper and Bill (Bojangles) Robinson. Enough well known entertainers and comedians are scattered throughout the show to guarantee an evening's enjoyment to the most exacting. Among others you will be glad to see are Pugh and Lillard, Miles and Giles, Gulfport and Brown and a snappy and fast moving chorus. Adelaide Hall, by personal charm if nothing else, will win most any audience, while the dancing of Rector and Cooper will hold its own anywhere in the universe. Of course, to Bill Robinson goes the cake on any bill on which he appears stepping his stuff. "Bo" was never better and to us it appears as if he is happier than he has been for ages—all because he has an opportunity to help his own. He takes pride in being with our boys and girls, although he has for years been the high spot of some of the best houses in the world.

One would naturally think that life for a girl so richly endowed would be one grand, sweet song, but, alas and attack! there is always a fly in the ointment. In her case it is an ungovernable temper, which frightens friends and flances, and provides the framework on which the comic, dramatic and romantic experiences of the plot are bullded. It is this temperament that prompts her to cheer for Yale when she is sitting in the Princeton stand during a Yale-Princeton game. This same devil-may-care spirit tempts her to attend a fashionable society dance in a bathing suit, and on another occasion moves her to speak up while a famous musician is playing. Colleen Moore Coming to the Renaissance Theatre Colleen Moore in "Irene," one of the screen's masterpieces, will be seen at the Renaissance Theatre Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, May 22, 23, 24 and 25 four days.

Furness, delivered his annual allocation, One of the subjects emphasized by Dr. Furness in his annual message was the policy o. the Supreme Council in encouraging Negro education by creating a number of scholarships for deserving young men and women. In this connection he said: "Realizing the need for education, especially higher education among the members of our group, and in order to organize on record in this respect, I last year recommended that you support a movement for more general higher education among our young people. You acquiesced in this suggestion and voted for two scholarships to be given to young people of our race last year. Your committee on education will report to you the details of this award and the results of the same. I am pleased to state that influenced by our action a number of other organizations are taking an interest in educational movements. One organization has quite an ambitious program. Everywhere we have had favorable conditions for action. I feel that we should continue this movement, with the thought in mind that the influence will be far reaching and will undoubtedly accomplish much good." Plans were completed for the Cathedral, which will be located in Philadelphia. When completed this building will be one of the finest structures owned by Prince Hall Masons. The committee on education of the Supreme Council, composed of William R. Morris, 33 degree. of Minneapolis, Minnesota, chairman; John Paul Scott, 33 degree, Harrison, Pennsylvania, and Robert S. Abbott, 33 degree, Chicago. Illinois, made a very interesting report concerning the scholarships awarded by the Supreme Council for the past year.

On the same evening a smoker was tended the members of the Supreme Council by Pyramid Temple, No. I, A. E. A. O. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, at their mosque, 1434 Catherine street.

The closing event was a banquet given in honor of the officers of the Army, 1. S. P. R. S., at the Pythian Castle, 19th and Admiral streets. Salem M.E. Church The grave danger of Christians laxing into habits of religious indifference and carelessness was the possibility against which Dr. P. A. Cullen warned his congregation last Sunday morning. The sermon was taken from the Bible account of the five wise and five foolish virgins. St. Matt. 25:8. "Our lamps are gone out," the distressing cry of the foolish virgins, Dr. Cullen told, was made because they had forgotten away something very valuable. Applied to our times the pastor reasoned that "if you lay your hands to do a certain thing for God, He is holding you to it." "The slovenly attitude of many so-called Christians does not readily convince others that they have oil in their vessels," he said. Where he encountered "we are left in the predicament of the foolish virgins, someone else will wear our crowns. An unusual program was offered at the Lyceum at four o'clock when the Junior Usher Board assembled in a body to have a sermon preached to them by the Rev. Joseph Hill. Mrs. Nannie Taylor, the newly appointed Junior Superintendant, presented the Junior Department of the Epworth League in a very pleasing program. In the evening, Dr. Culien addressed the E. Belle Johnson Clinic. The meeting on Thursday evening addressed by the Theodore Roosevelt-provided a big community treat. In his own absorbing way, Mr. Roosevelt carted his audience through the most interesting details of his expedition. Rev. Dr. R. M. Bolden presided. The robed choir sang spirituals. Mme. Lulu Robinson Jones sang a group of songs. Mother Zion Church Rev. Dr. J. W. Brown, the pastor was the preacher at the eleven o'clock service. His subject was "Peter's Shadow." Rev. P. A. Price was the preacher at the Junior Church services in the Lecture Room at 10:30 o'clock. District Superintendent Godbold made his annual visit to the Sunday School at 2 p. m. Supreme Court Justice Philip McCook spoke on the Interracial Movement at the Lyceum hour. He said that both races at times manifested too much pride. There are arrogant whites who mean to Newroes, and there are some Negroes who are mean to the whites. Musical selections were rendered by Mr. Walter Nicholson, baritone; Miss Edith Burgee, soprano; Mrs. Bessie Thomas Russell, contralto. The program was under the supervision of Mrs. Elsie Robinson. The District Superintendent of the Varick Christian Endeavor Society Hudson River District, Mrs. and an aidezee, made her annual visit to the Indian Endeavor Societies at 6:30 P. M. Dr. Brown preached an annual german to the Southern Beneficial League at 8 P. M. Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, will be preacher next Wednesday under the auspices of the Dunbar Music Club. Abyssinian Baptist Church choir will furnish the music. Rush Memorial Church The spirit of "Go to High School Go to College" was beautifully emphasized by Rev. Dr. G. M. Oliver in his sermon at eleven o'clock last Sunday morning. The text of the discourse was found in Isaiah 60:1: "Arise, Shine"; subjoined God's Call For Radiant Christians." Rev. W. P. Douglass preached the sermon at S P. M. Mr. L. M. Matthews, organist, played "Adagio and Allegro" by Mendelssohn before the evening service. ST.

Hill, the director of the Community House activities, is a product of Virginia Union University, Oberlin and Yale, and all of his have had special social training. Miss Dorothy DeAncy, the stenographer and clerk of the church, reported 1,219 additions to the membership during the year. The membership of the church May 1, 1926, was 6,030. The main auditorium seats 2,000 people and about 1,000. A double service is held each Sunday morning and then people are often turned away for lack of standing space. Miss DeAncy is assisted in the clerical work by Mrs. Eva B. Smith and both of these are kept busy week-ends and Sundays. Perhaps no other church in the country has such an efficient corps of workers. Dr. Clayton Powell is serving his eighteenth year as pastor and Rev. Marshall L. Shepard his third year as assistant. Methodists South Pledge Friendship Methodists South Pledge Friendship --- Christianity Pronounced a Failure Unless It Makes Men Brotherly MEMPHIS, Tennessee, May 17.—"Christianity is a failure unless it can bring the different races into right relations with one another and set them to living on the basis of brotherhood in the household of God," said the College of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church South in their quadrennial address to the General Conference of that body which convened here a few days ago. Applying this principle to the racial situation in America, the bishops continue, "Our holy religion demands the sovereignty of right and the law of love in applied helpfulness in all the relations of the white race to the Negro within our rates." The address further recounts the cordial friendship and co-operation that have existed from the first between the M. E. Church South and the C. M. E. Church, and earnestly recommends that this bond be strengthened and given more practical and brotherly expression. The following extracts give the heart of the statement: "Again and again the General Conference has had its attention called to our relations and duty to the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church. To that great Church we continue to be cordially bound. We would not and we cannot deny our duty to these our brethren, a duty to be truly measured only by our means and opportunity. From the organization of that Church nothing has disturbed the harmony of our relations. We cannot too highly praise their conduct. Their work continues to be blessed of God, and for this we rejoice with great joy. No good can come to them, no success can attend our work, that will not deepen our joy. No less for their sake then for our own we need to continue and to increase the help we are giving. "But it must be emphasized that not by financial assistance alone do we meet our obligations to these brethren. They need our manifested sympathy, our personal interest, our service of love. Here as elsewhere in all life it holds true that the gift without the giver is bare. To draw nearest to them, not in condescending and hence offensive manner, but as truly brethren serving the same God, rejoicing in the same Saviour, and seeking the same goal—those we should make manifest. "Christianity is a failure unless it can bring the different races of the world into right relations with one another and set them to living on the basis of brotherhood in the household of God. Men must be brothers, if there, is to be any brotherhood. God demands it. 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself'. It is not 'thou mayest be brotherly'; 'thou shalt'. It is still a new commandment that we should love one another . . . Our holy religion demands the sovereignty of right and the law of love in applied helpfulness in all the relations of the white race to the Negro within our gates." V. M. C. A. Briefs an elaborate social affair which will be held in the Association on Saturday, May 22. All alumni men are urged to be present. The Art Students' Club has just closed their fourth annual exhibit, which was the object of much favorable comment. This exhibit is held annually.

The following boys and young men have their names on the honor roll for bringing in new members during the week of May 81. Howard Warner, William Chavis, John Marshall, Arthur Dorsey and Raymond Crosby.

Perry, attorney for a group of Flushing residents who sought houses from the Flushing Lawns Corporation, charged the company with grand larceny and fraud and asked for a Grand Jury investigation to probe the "inside" details of the alleged conditions. The request for an investigation followed a dramatic halt in the Queens Supreme Court last week of a hearing to foreclose a mortgage on one of the so-called "cardboard" dwellings, owned by Charles V. Ritchie, living at 713-1058 street. Flushing. The hearing was peremptory.

Assistant District Attorney James A. Dayton advised Mr. Perry that the Flushing Magistrate's Court would be the proper place to bring the matter up at the start. The publicity attending the case in Flushing would be sufficient and if the evidence would warrant the step, the Grand Jury investigation would naturally follow, said Assistant District Attorney Dayton. The foreclosure action was brought by Milton Pressburger, an officer in the Flushing Lawns Corporation and the Rockville Centre Lawns Corporation, against Mr. Kitchley to foreclose a $2,500 mortgage on his house, due in June, 1927, upon which Pressburger declares interest is long overdue. In charging the building corporations with fraud, Perry claims that the mortgage was turned over to Pressburger by these concerns to relieve them of any financial responsibilities in the case. Justice May refused to grant the motion made last week by Pressburger, through his attorney, Isidore Tow, to order the foreclosure without a hearing and set yesterday for trial before a jury. When the restraining order was received yesterday, Perry naked for a week's adjournment, which was opposed by the Tow, who declared that there was no fraud in the case and no grounds for further delay.

MILLER, Mgr. Florence C. Simmelkoar, Hostess THEN—there's this crime wave, with its profitable consequences and multifarious panacas, all of which—the panacas of course—have been utterly puerile up-to-the current time. Seemingly everybody is collecting some remedy or advice for the alleviation of this unpleasant condition. So "The Order of Disorderly Jamb-Bells," being a wide-wake, public spirited organization thought it may as well come forward with some remedies also. It figured its pet "cure-alls" could be just about as effectual as those previously tenured. So of the last regular disorderly meeting the following resolutions were steam-rollered, "railroaded" and otherwise put through by a well-organized and noisy minority. But it resolved, that we, "The order of Disorderly Dumb-Bells," took cognizance of the prevalence of crime, so on record in favor of the foregoing assigments; that we let the crooks steal and steal and steal until finally they will go out to steal some day and face the stalk realization that they have already stolen everything worth stealing after which they will have become legal crooks. It be further resolved that, as for the murderers, we will deport them to Herrin, Ill. I hope that a group of obviously narrow-minded persons or perhaps real friends are agitating for the discontinuance of, what seem to them the preposterous liberties allowed the inmates or guests of Sing Sing. They claim the prisoners are enjoying themselves better than then they were on Broadway. The lawyers say the institution, as governed, is on the same level as a first-class country club, and that the prisoners—parole boards withstanding would rather be in Sing Sing than President. They also say the prisoners means candidly state they have advantages and safeguards they wouldn't think of while on the outside.

According to the officials of the bath house, there are exquisite private rooms where individuals may stay over night after taking a bath. Russian and Turkish masseurs will serve the patrons, they said. In addition to the usual bath house equipment and sleeping quarters, it is said that there will be available marble steam and shower rooms, a massage division and a large swimming pool. There is also a barber shop, restaurant and chiropistist's compartment in the building. Reducing facilities for women and valet service for men are also available, the manager explained. This large establishment, famous a long period as "Hollander's Baths," has been a familiar institution in the community for a long number of years. The turning over of the enterprise to Negroes is regarded as a marked development in Harlem.

May Open Doors to Negro Patrons BAYES BAYES way rushes or the economic depression. The victims go on to further assert that the prisoners are permitted and even compelled to attend ball games, movies and amateur theatricals—which is going Atlanta one better. Now, I personally see no particular amelioration of the punishment of the prisoners; that is, if the ball games, movies and theatrical performances are of the same type this writer is generally unfortunate enough to see. Such being the case, I am inherently sympathetic towards the lot of the inauspicious sufferers. And am sure the mental torture is of far more severity than any bodily punishments or material inconveniences. The only way to make the ends of justice or the suffering of the prisoners more complete would be to force them to read "The Literary Indigestion" three times a day. Dr. E. R.

HENSON SAYS PEARY HAD FLIGHT TO POLE IN MIND 15 YEARS AGO Broached the Subject to a President of an Aero Club —No Land Near Pole, He Believes The idea of a flight to the North Pole, successfully accomplished twice in the last two weeks, was originally put forth by Commodore Robert E. Peary, the first white man to reach the Pole, according to Matthew Henson, addressing a meeting Sunday evening at Washington Heights Methodist Church, 153rd street and Amsterdam avenue. Mr. Henson accompanied Peary to the Pole. "When we got back to the United States in 1911," Mr. Henson said, "Peary broached the subject to the president of an aero club, and I firmly believe now that had Peary lived he would have been with one of the expeditions that went out to reach the Pole in the new way. I always maintained and I maintain now, that there is no land within 300 miles of the Pole, regardless of what we hear from the filters. Between Spitzerbergen or Greenland and the Pole I am certain there is no land, and I seriously doubt that there is land between Alaska and the Pole. "The furthest north land, in my opinion, is Cape Columbia, and that is 413 miles from the Pole. There are wide stretches of old ice covered with snow that look from an airplane as though they might be landed on, but it is just as well that no plane landing was made. A plane would have crushed the covering of snow and an ascent would have been impossible. "I look back upon the hardships of that first trip to the Pole, of the hard work that it took to come through, and of the cold. Especially do I remember the cold. About the warmest day we had in that dash was 15 degrees below zero and the coldest 59 degrees below." Mr. Henson showed a score on more of stereoptical views of the dash to the pole in 1910 and 1911, when he and Commodore Peary and tour Eskimos reached their goal on April 6 and buried the American flag there.

After washing the face in warm soap and water and with a washcloth always rinse off with cold water. This closes the pores, thereby not leaving them open for collection of dust. Ice is also beneficial. Keeping the glands active is very important. Massage the face often. The use of a complexion brush is good. Cold creams for cleansing purposes are excellent in conjunction with your soap and water treatments, as the cream has a tendency to soften the hardened massae in the pores.

CURLY HAIR : A Page of Interest to Women and the Home Osbiny Club in First Complimentary Assembly By THELMA E. BERLACK The youth of Harlem is complimentary assembly of the timing, May 13, at New Starington avenue. From ten to three-thirty danced to the strains of Vern cold, strange atmosphere the Adelphi Bowling formal assmirth, laughter and spirit of at this dance. The youth of Harlem held sway at the first annual complimentary assembly of the Osbiny Club Thursday evening, May 13, at New Star Casino, 107th street and Lexington avenue. From ten to three-thirty about fifteen hundred people danced to the strains of Vernon Andrades' Orchestra. That cold, strange atmosphere that prevails at the Alpha and Adelphi Bowling formal assemblies was replaced by the mirth, laughter and spirit of an altogether younger group at this dance. A regular fashion show—ladies displaying gowns of all colors and varying lengths; Spanish laces, line feathers, and Platti shawls were not missing; head-dress covered the usual gaud gum from keen loyish bobs to high collures; while the mon looked pleasingly comfortable in their tuxedos and tall dress suits. Fitzgerald, William Lowe, Gertrude Derrick, Edward King, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Penman Loving Good, Dr. Clifton A. Randolph, Dr. A. Husdon Sealy, Miss Edith Williams, Miss Evelyn Eatey, Herman Bennett, Norman Cobbs, Miss Lillian DeLoach, Dr. Willis Cummings, Miss Viola Girardeau, Miss System was the key word to the dance. At the door, every card was examined at one of the four checking tables. Club members, serving as ushers, then escorted the guests to the various boxes. Promptly at 12:30 this club of 28 members had a grand march. Enloe S. Wells made the welcome speech and introduced the officers of the club. According to Mr. Wells, Usbilyn" is an acrostic for "Our Social Boys in New York." The first two dances following the march were for the club members and their lady guests. When these special dances were completed, souvenir certificates, tied with dainty ribbons of silver and red, were given the 28 ladies-of-honor. The clubs represented at this formal dance included the Fish, Tenen, Racquet, Galey, Round Table Social, Debutante, Poinsettias, Brotherhood Fraternity and Pyramid. The Oshiny Club was founded by Harry C. Henley, 580 St. Nicholas avenue, the president, in May. 1925. Its officers and members are: H, S.

EASIEST CREDITERMS IN CITY Pickens Entertained by Movie Stars "Farina" and His Little Sister Give the Former Dean a Royal Welcome at Studio LOS ANGELES, May 17.—"Farina" is a real boy, although he has been playing ladies' parts as famously as Eltinge, the grown-up imitator of the fair sex. As soon as he met Win, Pickens, he made friends." He jumped into the lean's arms and climbed to his shoulder, posed and asked: "What are we gonna do now?" He had no idea that some camera work was in order, and he wanted to know whether he was so smile or do the famous bawling act which has caused such conclusions in the theatres where he is seen on the screen. He was told to smile and look pleased for this occasion. Then his little sister, who is not to be outdone by him, like any real girl, clamored to get into the picture, and so she climbed to the visitor's left shoulder and demanded another picture. "Farina's..." mother is a young woman of pleasing manners and keeps a lovely home for her entertaining little son. Mr. Pickens visited the workshop of "Our Gang" on May 10, and reports that Jackie Coogan gave him two of the little star's latest photographs on the same evening. Between the troupe of screen babies and the group of "Brown Babies" of the newly-organized Los Angeles Baby Contest, the dean is having one good time.

"I was so weak I had to go to bed, and kept getting weaker. "I suffered with my back so much. I was very nervous, couldn't rest good at night. I couldn't eat anything—I just wasn't hungry." "I had read so much of Cardui. I thought best to use it. I took seven or eight bottles, and by the time I had taken them I was stronger than I had been in several years. I can highly recommend Cardui."

HOMESEEKERS' SERVICE BUREAU Telephone Havemeyer 6066 72—112TH STREET CORONA, L. I. The New York Amsterdam News Wednesday, May 19, 1926 President Coolidge and States Rights President Coolidge and States Rights SPEAKING in Williamsburg, Va., where one hundred and fifty years ago the Colony of Virginia adopted the first resolution to Congress, praying for a declaration of independence from England, President Coolidge said: "I want to see the policy adopted by the States of discharging their public functions so faithfully that instead of an extension on the part of the Federal Government there can be a retraction." SO DO WE. We, too, want to see the public functions faithfully discharged in all the states of the Union, but many of the southern states are not yet ready for such a responsibility, and until that time we must be in favor of a strong Federal Government, even if it brings in its wake the evils of bureaucracy. That is why most Negroes, without knowing it, are or have been Republicans—because only a strong Federal Government could cope with their problems as a people and a race in America. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S Republicanism is becoming almost as rank as the rankest Democrat's. Governor Smith could say no better. In his southern speech, Mr. Coolidge forgot that the southern states have repeatedly shown their inability or unwillingness to live up to the tenets of the Federal Constitution as regards the protection of the lives and property of its citizens and their rights to a free use of the franchise. WHILE the President was speaking, one southern state was snuffing out the lives of two of its citizens, and another was just recovering from the thrill of having lynched even two white men. To expect these states to "faithfully discharge their public functions" and to uphold the Constitution is a responsibility for which they are not now ready. A Lesson in Unity IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to overestimate the importance and significance of the decision in the case of Henry Sweet, who has just been acquitted of the charge of murder, in that he went to the assistance of his brother, Dr. Ossian Sweet, whose home was being besieged by a mob of white men. The cases of ten other defendants, including Dr. Sweet and his wife, are yet to be disposed of by the courts. But the precedent has been set. A man, even a Negro man, has the right to defend his life and his family and his home from riotous mobs. FAR MORE IMPORTANT, though, is the practical lesson in unity the Sweet case has taught Negroes in this country. To say that Henry Sweet would have been acquitted of complicity in the murder without the aid of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which in this case represented all Negroes with an ounce of sense, and a few liberal-minded white people of the opposite race, could not be supported by past experiences in such cases. HENRY SWEET, like many other defendants in the courts of all races, would have become enmeshed in expensive legal machinery, which more and more is making it almost impossible to get justice in the courts. In addition to this the natural prejudices of the average white man against intelligent Negroes would have played a heavier role than they did and, most likely, he would today find himself in a Michigan penitentiary. PASSING THE BUCK DR. CROSBY'S suit against the S. Louis & San Francisco Railway in which he alleged that the railroad failed to provide him and other Negro passengers in general the same train and station privileges, has become entangled in rapture. The Interstate Commerce Commission dismissed the action last week for want of jurisdiction. The railroad declared that even if the allegations were true—that is to say, if Negro are victims of the Jim-Crow system or taining on interstate carriers, the commission set up to govern their practice is impotent. A HEATLESS LANDLADY has been sentenced to spend the next thirty days in jail, where she will have a splendid opportunity to reflect upon the temperature. HEALTH COMMISSIONER Louis Harris has instructed inspectors to report all persons responsible for the accumulation of rubbish to the Sanitary Bureau for prosecution. We hope the inspectors will not overlook violators in Harlem. DR.

From the New York Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., could extend his activities in low-rent housing to no quarter of the city that needs it more than colored Harlem. His purchase of a city block at 149th street and Eighth avenue furnishes a site on the northern edge of the largest and most crowded Negro community in the world. Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., could extend activities in low-rent housing to no quarter of city that needs it more than colored Harlem, purchase of a city block at 149th street and Eight avenue furnishes a site on the northern edge of largest and most crowded Negro community in world. In the twenty blocks north of 128th street east of Eighth avenue are now packed 180,000 groves, or 80,000 more than in any city in the South. Most of these Negroes must live there because the city cannot find other dwellings; they are met with tilt elsewhere in Manhattan. Because there little space for expansion, rents have soared. Nacarona Urban League found two years ago the Negro were paying 40 to 60 per cent more whites for the same type of apartments. The rents mean multitudes of lodgers; double use rooms; one person taking a place by day and an hour by night; and "rent parties" at 25 cents admit to help pay the landlord. The State Housing Center ten persons, recently four-four, Most the apartment houses are fortunately "new but the congestion is nevertheless a powerful ally illness this city." In 1923 was 11.25 per thousand and Negro it was 20.65. Rockefeller's interest the district should stimulate that of other philthropists and of the city generally. In the twenty blocks north of 125th street and east of Eighth Avenue are now packed 150,000 Negroes, or 80,000 more than in any city in the South. Most of these Negroes must live here because they cannot find other dwellings; they are met with hostility elsewhere in Manhattan. Because there is little space for expansion, rents have soared. The National Urban League found two years ago that Negroes were paying 40 to 60 per cent above whites for the same type of apartment. The high rents mean multitudes of lodgers, double use of rooms, one person taking a day's day and another by night; and the amenities at 25 cents admission to help pay the lodger. The State Housing Commission reported an apartment which, formerly sheltering ten persons, recently had forty-four. Most of the apartment houses are fortunately "new law" because the congestion is nevertheless a powerful ally of illness and death. The mortality rate for whites in this city in 1923 was 11.25 per thousand and for Negroes it was 20.68. Mr. Rockefeller's interest in the district should stimulate that of other philanthropists and of the city generally.

Pittsburgh Editor Addresses A.P.A Fraternity Scores Principal of Harlem School for Opposing Campaign That the Negro needs to go through a whole process of education, so that the race can fade into the melting lot of American civilization, was the keynote of the address delivered by Robert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, before the local "Go to High School—Go to College" campaign of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Sunday afternoon in the auditorium of the new Junior High School, 135th street and St. Nicholas avenue. At almost every prominent church Harlem members of the fraternity made three-minute talks Sunday morning, encouraging mothers and fathers to send their children to high school and then to college. Before a number of afternoon forums the same appeal was made. A hearty applause was given Eugene Kinkle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, the organizing left to speak over the radio at Hotel McAlpin on the purpose of the campaign. Ralph Mizelle, president of the local chapter, in pointing out the difference between the supervision of children in the schools of the North and South, alluded to the fact that public schools here had refused representatives of the organization permission to talk before the student body on the importance of going to high school and college. Following Mr. Mizelle's explanation of the work of the fraternity, Mr. Mizelle, in a Palge, disgrressed from the program to further explain the attitude of the principal. The audience was literally startled when the spokesman for the association informed the audience that the principal who had remarked that Negroes had no cultural background for a higher education was the head of the school in which they were assembled. Dr. Peyton F. Anderson, general vice-president of the Greek letter fraternity, outlined the real meaning of Alpha Phi Alpha. Lyndon Hoffman Caldwell, a member of the organization, rendered an instrumental solo. Vernon T. Tandy and George Kelly, two of the founders of the national organization, were in scoring Miss Elsie Kormann, principal of the school, Mr. Paige said that, if the campaign had only revealed the behavior of the school head and her attitude toward the Negro children, who make up 95 per cent of her student body, he said that, when he went to add the institution to secure permission to speak, he was reused. Mrs. Kornman candidly contended, he said, that Negroes should not waste the State's funds by going to high school. Instead of going to school they should get a job and help their parents, she did not want the State School Go to College" campaign, because the children are not capable of adjusting themselves to college and university environments, she is quoted as saying. Her problem at the school, she said, was in trying to discourage the pupils from thinking of higher education, for its attack on the school head, Mr. Paige stated that he desired the people to know in advance that the fraternity was planning to fight until the principal was removed from the school. Mr. Vann said that the Negro is looked upon with more suspicion than any other student, a pot of American civilization. What the Negro needs is education in its broadest sense. "We cannot absorb a civilization in parts; we must absorb the entire American civilization. Because we have graduates from Harvard and Yale or because there are some who compete with the whites in some lines, it is no sign that the race has arrived. "The largest bulk of civilization is not composed of the highly professional. The mass is composed of those who know nothing. We need some intermediary place between the highly professional and the lowest. We need mothers and fathers; so that we may have a stronger social fabric that will enable the problem to fade. "The Go to High School—Go to College" movement is to instill in mothers and fathers the necessity of having educated daughters and some sons. We do not want "College" doesn't mean the mere bringing back of diplomas. It establishes generations and generations of educated mothers and fathers."

Battle Royal at Elks' Convention --- Finley Wilson Out for Re-election Battle Royal at Elks' Convention --- Finley Wilson Out for Re-election Past Exalted Ruler Harry H. Pace Opposes Perpetuation of Office of Grand Secretary—To Oppose Bates for Office That a battle royal of no small proportions is developing to be fought out in the election of officers of the I.B. P.O. Elks at Cleveland in August is apparent to those who have followed the fortunes of this rapidly-growing organization. The present Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson, of Washington, D. C., has announced himself as a candidate for a fifth term, and is confident of his re-election. There is an unwritten law in the Elks that no man shall serve as Grand Exalted Ruler more than four years, and only two men have ever served that long since the original founder of the order, B. F. Howard, served ten years. It was on Mr. Howard's ambitions to serve beyond the ten-year term for which he was elected that precipitated a split in the organization that came near wrecking it. Singularly enough, one of the leaders in the fight against Mr. Howard's perpetuation in office was the present Grand Secretary, George E. Bates, who had: ambitions then to become Grand Exalted Ruler. But evidently Mr. Bates changed his opinions about the long tenure of office after he became Grand Secretary, as he has been in office 15 years and is de-sirous of holding on to that lucrative job, which now pays a salary of $3,000 per year, besides expenses. Among the other leaders in the fight against Howard were the late J. Frank Wheaton of New York, Dr. William E. Atkins of Virginia, and Harry H. Pace, then of Memphis, Tenn. Atkins became Grand Exalted Ruler at Brooklyn in 1906, defeating Bates for the coveted position, and held the office for four years, being the only other man besides Wilson to have served as long, The next year, in 1907, at Chicago, Bates ran for Grand Secretary and had the support of Wheaton and Pace, but was defeated when Atkins threw the strength of the administration against him. At St. Paul, Minn., in 1908, Pace became a candidate for Grand Secretary and, to the surprise of many, for President of the election. J.Wolfrid Holmes, a Pittsburgh lawyer, who had defeated Hatee the year before. He held the office of attorney at the end of his term he had pardoned such stealing-affected to the Order in the network of litigation in which it had been plunged that he was unanimously elected and Exalted Ruler at Boston in 1911. Following Atkins' tenure of four years as Grand Exalted Ruler, a host of candidates appeared, among them, Mr. E. Bates and J. Frank Wheaton. Wheaton was overwhelmingly elected and Mills withdrew from the Grand Lodge and held a rump convention at which his followers voted to elect him as a consolation prize. Bates was voted the honorary degree of Past Grand Exalted Ruler. When Frank Wheaton became enmeshed in a Consent of the Lodge at Richmond Va., as a result of his vain endeavor to unite the Mills faction with his following it looked like the end of the Order of Colored Eiks, because Judge of the Lodge administered its affairs and ordered its officers to turn over their books and authority of office to the Commissioners, consisting of John W. Patterson, commissioner, and Mills. OFFERED COURT It was then that Harry Pace defied the authority of the court, contending that the judge was used unjustly and information that it was unjust and unfair. Judge Waddill promptly ordered the United States Marshal to take Pace into custody and place him in jail. Upon the advice of L. Melendez Kind and B. L. Gaskins, attorneys of Washington, representing the repressors of Montana, Judge Pace went to Richmond in advance of the commitment papers. Giles B. Jackson of Richmond, the attorney representing Pace, pressed with Pace's straightforward statement of the case that he arranged an audience with Judge Waddill. Judge Waddill was equated with the judge that, if Pace's statement was true, the consent decree ought to be set aside and that he would entertain an immediate motion to vacate the commitment court that created the Giles immediately resigned as counsel to Patterson and Morris and went to Pace and Kingston, where he was prepared by his attorneys and hurried to Richmond by Ben Gaskins, who brought back the vacating order signed by Judge Vaddill and the Order was received by members. BOSTON IN 1911. At Boston in 1911, following this transaction, Whaton declined to become a candidate again and Pace resigned as Ruler and the Order was reinstated Ruler as a tribute of gratitude on the part of the members for his rescue of the Order from his wrokkers. When Pace was elevated to the Grand Exalted Ruler, he was appointed as Grand Secretary and devoted himself to the reuniting of the Order. In the two years that followed, Pace travelled over the country bringing face to face the three deceased, those who become discouraged and disbanded, appointing deputies and organizers and setting up new lodges. One of his most ardent deputies was J. L. Kingston, who was first Grand Travelling Deputy, a title created by Pace. After two years in office and when the Order had become reunified under him, with nearly every dismissed. Pace declined to be a candidate again at Atlantic City in 1813, because he was organizing IN RX HARRY H. PACE. the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., with Herman H. Perry. He supported T. Gillis Nutter to succeed him and Nutter won over Armond W. Scott after a hard fight. WJBCAN.E.S.I. Itter held the office three years and was succeeded by Scott, who had again made friends with Nutter, Pace and Wheaton. Scott held office for three years and was ambitious to succeed himself, but was forced to retire in 1919 in favor of Geo. W. F. McMechen, who was succeeded in Boston in 1921 by Geo. E. Wibecan of Brooklyn. During such administration the united body had continued to grow steadily and surely on the foundation laid at the time the Order was re-united under Pace. At Newark, in 1922, Wibecan was defeated after one year's service by J. Finley Wilson, largely because of his refusal to a lodge in Virginia in which he refused to go South because of the Jim Crow cars. Wilson's election upset all the dope on the meeting, because it was assumed that Billy would be the lord of the city, and nearly beaten Wibecan at Boston, would he elected. Wilson was opposed by the entire group of Past Grand Exalted Rubber Deputies, headed by Grand Secretary Bates. To show his worth, he announced he would bring 50 new lodges during the year. Capitalizing the experience he and received as Grand Travel Deputies involved in the field himself and, before the year was ended, he had organized, personally and with his deputies, nearly 100 lodges and increases in giving the Order the greatest growth, numerically, it had ever had. HOWELL PUT UP There was a determined fight on his administration by Bates, who put forward H. Adolph Howell, an assistant governor of Virginia, and didate. Pace lined up with Bates for Howell, but Bates switched his support to Wilson at the last minute, leaving Howell and Pace in the arch. Last year, at Richmond, Bates sponsored the candidacy of J. Daimler Steele of New York, in a losing fight against Wilson in order to head off opposition to him for presidential successor, which came a last-minute candidate against Bates. The result was that, in order to save himself and Carter, the Grand Treasurer, from losing the Virginia delegation, which was friendly to Bates, over to Wilson and again insured the defeat of his own candidate, Steele. This year Face has announced his candidacy for Grand Secretary and bases his claim for performent on when it was young and weak, in addition to his opposition to a lifetempo in office for Fates, who has called for young and tendered to him not particular requests to the Order except that of being its secretary at a comfortable salary. It is also alleged that Fates has been appointed by the Grand Lodge and seeks to dictate the appointments of every Grand Exalted Ruler, arrogating to himself all the authority of the Grand Lodge, and is bound out against spending the Order's money with colored people. Printing amounting to five or six thousand dollars in firm in New York, while colored printers who are members of the Order and are able to do all the work satisfactorily are denied a chance to get any of this work.

The members who had decisively defeated him for re-election. WILSON UNPOPULAR IN EAST. Notwithstanding Wilson's fine work for four years, it is alleged that he is very unpopular with many lodges, because with a fairly high degree of suspension, many delegates are anxious to see him defeated at Cleveland. The only hitch to this program is the lack of some one with a following that is not well known, and that there is only one man who can defeat Wilson, and that is Bates himself; but Bates has heretofore preferred to let others tackle the job for him rather than to test strength with Wilson personally. Rumor has it it now in Elk circles that, since Pace has announced his intention to defeat Bates and is not afraid to tackle the job which he has done for over 25 years, that Bates' advisers are rushing him to come out against Wilson at Cleveland rather than risk defeat at the hands of the man who put him in office. Pace's candidacy has it freely predicted that, in a show-down, he will decisively defeat Bates. Atogether it is going to be a rather pretty fight. Bates is not the only "move up or move out."

Marines Be Withdrawn From Island (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., May 17. —Denouncing the policy of the United States in Haiti, Senator King, Democrat of Utah, delivered an address in the Senate Thursday in support of his resolution providing for the withdrawal of American troops from the island and the granting of permission to the people of Haiti to set up a government of their own choice. Referring to the recent selection of President Borno, he asserted that the State Department "has imposed on the Haitian people by force of arms a government that they do not want, which is supported by the bayonets of the United States." He said that military and naval officers, assigned to government positions in Haiti, carried into their administration "the greatest and precessed greater tranny and greater ruthlessness than they do upon their subordinates in time of war." At the request of Senator King, his resolution was referred to the foreign relations committee for study. To Honor Memory of Late Dr. Cannon (Preston News Service.) (Preston News Service.)
