WITH former Assistant U. S. Attorney-General Lewis defending Ponzi, the Boston "banker." and recalling that Attorney G. L. Pendleton, of Baltimore, made the last frantic legal appeal to save Richard Reese Whittemore, the Baltimore "candy kid," from the hangman's noose, and with several colored attorneys of New York becoming weekly specialists in immigration practice involving Italian, French, British, and other foreign subjects who are daily caught in the meshes of the U. S. immigration laws, to say nothing of the dozens of Northern Negro attorneys and counsellors who have a lucrative "mixed" practice, it is becoming plainer every day that the same misery which loves company is no discriminator when legal brains and force are needed to pluck it from yawning jaws of the jail doors, or the swish of the noose.
American people, particularly when in danger of exile or death, are beginning to have more confidence in the courts and their adoptions. And, after all, what does it matter when either a white man or a black man has been set free by legal brains, whether his advocate was a Negro or a "Nordic." Negro lawyers are like Negro barbers, who can cut straight or blinky hair with equal facility. It may have seemed a bit out of the ordinary to witness the spectacle of a Negro counsellor appealing for the life of a white convict; but then, even though Justice can see, it is rapidly becoming color blind, especially when defined by the courts.
Thus, the law seems to be outstepping the churches, the schools, the railroads, and the residential areas, though the same people around in all and with the very definite aim of living out their useful or non-useful lives, as the case may be.
En route to the grave they merely meet, as incidentals, the necessity of eating, sleeping, riding, studying, worshipping, and even evading the penitentiary.
What does it matter if, for a few brief spans of time, they should come into semi-close contact? At least it is beginning to look in the law, that it doesn't make any difference. So ought it to be universally and collectively.

Elevator Operator Burglarized Apartment
Pleading guilty to burglarizing an apartment in the house where he was employed as elevator operator, Perry Price, 18, 193 Edgecombe avenue, was held without bail for the Grand Jury Thursday by Magistrate Bernard Douras, sitting in the Washington Heights Court.
Price disappeared from the apartment house at S33 Riverside Drive on August 2, the day after a burglary in the apartment of John Curran, on the fourth floor. He could not be found at the address which he had given his employer. Detective Henshaw of the West 523d street station traced the youth to a furnished room at 193 Edgecombe avenue and placed him under arrest.

President Is Said to Have Requested Hands-Off Policy for Klan
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 23 (by The Associated Negro Press) On the heels of information to the effect that Erskine Ramsey, local capitalist, would be the Republican Party choice for United States Senator and Col. Dallas Smith the G. O. P. gubernatorial nominee, the following notice was published by the Birmingham News, a daily newspaper here:
"It is stated that, following the publication of the story in The News that the party in this State would denounce the Ku Klux Klan, Republicans in high official positions and also high in the councils of the national party, got in communication with leaders in this State and insisted; that the convention omit any reference to the Klan. According to a story heard in the Hillman lobby Wednesday morning, no less a person than President Coolidge conveyed through political friends the request that the Alabama Republicans keep hands off in the Ku Klux fight."
More than 400 delegates, representing nearly every county in the State, are in town to participate in the convention here, but it is noticeable that there are no Negroes among them. It is said that the word was quietly passed around that Negroes were not wanted.

SHAKE-UP HINTED AT FOLLOWING ARREST OF EX-CONVICT
SHAKE-UP HINTED AT FOLLOWING ARREST OF EX-CONVICT
Myer Frank, Alias "Mike the Greek," Is Charged With Burglary, Impersonating Police Officer and Extortion
One of the cleverest crooks, it is believed by the police, that has been operating recently in Harlem, was caught last week by Patrolman Joseph Brown of the West 135th street station.
Posing as a detective, it is charged, Myer Frank, alias "Mike the Greek," has extorted and robbed over 30 families during the last 13 weeks. It has been intimidated by the higher authorities that the prisoner's arrest will cause a shake-up in a Brooklyn precinct station, where complaints against the prisoner have also been made.
Arraigned in the Washington Heights Court before Magistrate Earl Smith the defendant was held without bail Monday for Special Sessions on charges of burglary, robbery and extortion.
Archie Thomas, 2568 Seventh avenue, was one of the complainants. He charged Frank with extorting $150 from him. Sam Nishabum, white, 2511 Eighth avenue, lodged a complaint against Frank for breaking into his store. Hindus Spier, 136 W. 133d street, also appeared in the court. Other complainants were not asked to appear for the preliminary hearing.
The criminal record of the prisoner dates back to 1921, according to police records.

Cow Serenaded With Brass Band
CAMDEN, Me., Aug. 23.—A brass band and hundreds of local and rural admirers gathered in the heart of the city for a farewell reception to "Brownie, the wonder cow," who started a 10,000-mile exhibition trip Friday with the Ohio State Fair as the first stop.
Brownie has given 18,666 quarts of milk and returned a net profit of $1,917 to Ralph W. Cripps, her owner, out of a gross income of $2,263. She is three-quarters Ayrshire, with a dash of Canadian blood and, besides her production records, has proved an excellent breeder, with many promising descendants.
Brownie's itinerary calls for stops at the Indiana State Fair, the Philadelphia Sequi-Centennial Eastern State Exposition at Springfield, and the Pacific International Exposition at Portland, Ore.
McKinley Banks in Theft Charge
Brother of the Democratic Leader Is Accused by Fruit Dealer
McKinley Banks, brother of the Democratic leader. William Banks, 65 W. 135th street, was held without ball on charge of petty larceny by Magistrate Earl Smith in the Washington Heights Court. Monday, for a further hearing this week.
Ball was denied the defendant after the court was informed by the arresting officer that the prisoner had served two years in Sing Sing. He pleaded not guilty.
According to Patrolman Joseph Brown of the West 135th street station, Banks stole 55.50 from the cash drawer of a fruit stand owned by Frank Reneri, 465 Lenox avenue, while the fruit dealer was waiting on a customer, and dashed down the street.
Yelling "help," "help," Reneri attracted the attention of Patrolman Brown, who was patrolling his post in the vicinity. The officer joined in the pursuit and followed him to the roof of the premises at No. 475 Lenox avenue and placed him under arrest.
When arraigned in court, Banks insisted that he had not taken the money and expressed his surprise that he had been charged with the crime.
Man Identified by Twenty Young Matrons Is Charged With Robbery, Felonious Assault and Rape
That he preyed upon defenseless women is the accusation now made against James Smith, 27, alias "Broadway," 205 W. 135th street, who was arrested last week. Smith is charged with committing some of the most beastly crimes that have been recorded by the local police in recent years.
Arraigned in the Heights Court, Tuesday morning, he was held without bail to await the action of the Grand Jury.
He was represented by Attorney James Lowe. The state was represented by Assistant District Attorney George W. Ewald.
Following a series of complaints, Smith, who wears expensive clothes and drives a high-powered automobile, foiled the police for over eight months. He was captured Thursday morning by Detectives Tierney, Ross and Scott of the West 135th street station after a successful trap had been set. By going into different hallways and searching the boxes for mail addressed to young married women, it is claimed, the prisoner used that as an instrument to become acquainted with the tenant in the building.
Then by telephoning the intended victim that he had just received an important letter from her

Asks Ban on Capital Parade of Ku Klux
WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.—A vigorous protest against the issuance of a permit for the proposed parade of the Klu Kux Klan here on September 13 was filed Friday with the District Commissioners by N. H. Thomas, secretary of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
In support of his protest Thomas recalled the refusal of Philadelphia authorities to permit such a parade in that city as part of the Sesquientennial celebration and emphasized the "potential evils of a parade by an organization of the pronounced un-American principles ascribed to the Klan."
Major Edwin B. Hesse, Superintendent of Police, some time ago indicated he would issue a permit for the parade on condition that the Klansmen march unmasked.
Pullman Porter in New Role
Objects to Language Used in Soft Drink Stand Before Woman
Arriving here from Chicago Sunday night, Edward Ware, Pullman porter, was severely beaten when he objected to the language that was being used in the presence of a woman, it was alleged. Monday morning, when Ware appeared in the Heights Court to press a charge of assault against an employee of the place at 2262 Seventh avenue. Ware with a swollen jaw and blackened eye acted as his own counselor in court. He quizzed both the defendant, Paty Bastone, and the arresting officer. He was unable to establish sufficient evidence to prove the defendant guilty.
According to the testimony of the porter, he arrived upown from the Grand Central station around midnight and went to the alleged "speakey" about an hour later. He took several drinks in the course of the morning, he said.
Around four o'clock men in the place began to use indecent language. Ware declared. Because a woman was sitting at one of the tables, he objected. Bastone, he said, enlisted four other men's service to aid in beating him for his "freshness." Ware stated.
After being attacked, he yelled for the police. He soon attracted the attention of a patrolman who was on post near the scene.
Accused of being one of six men who dragged Miss Marton Jones, 21, actress, into a hallway and criminally assaulting her, Joseph Dailley, 28, 108 W. 135th street, was held without hail by Magistrate Earl Smith in the Washington Heights Court, Monday, for a further hearing.
Miss Jones testified that she was on her way home at 150 W. 133rd street, late at night, after the show, when a half dozen men, hidden in the hallway of 168 W. 133rd street, jumped upon her and dragged her into the entrance of the building.

Hoyer, who lived at 222 West 135th street, was found guilty of the murder of his daughter last October by a jury sitting in General Sessions and was sentenced to die in the electric chair by Judge Talley. He was not tried for the death of his wife, Mrs. Jennie Hoyer.
Represented by Counsellors Dennis C'Brien and Jacob Lasker, Hoyer attempted to establish an alibi that the shooting was accidental while a struggle was in progress for the possession of the revolver between himself and wife. Assistant District Attorney Geo. N. Brothers, who prosecuted the murderer, broke down the defense. Following a walk out on the avenue with his daughter, Lillian, Hoyer returned the five-year-old child to her mother and appealed to Mrs. Hoyer for forgiveness. She refused him.
In a fit of anger he pulled out a revolver and dired at his only child, killing her instantly. The next shots struck his wife. One of the bullets lodged in her left eye and another in her neck. Two days later Hoyer was captured in the apartment of his uncle.

at the Pelham Bay Park end of the line.
All denied being guilty. Three were sent away to the Workhouse for 5 months and 29 days, and the others were each given two months in the same place.
Of those getting the lesser punishment there were Ruth Morse, 24, a pianist, 2141 Seventh avenue, near W. 127th street; James Herd, 20. 36 W. 138th street, near Fifth avenue; John Johnson, 24. 207 W. 131st street, near Seventh avenue, and Richard Sharpe, 36. also 207 W. 131st street, Irving Jackson, 29. 156 W. 133rd street, near Seventh avenue; Isaac Smoot, 26 W. 138th street, near Fifth avenue, and Elsa Hazel, 20. 141 W. 150th street, near Lenox avenues; were the three who received the long terms.
Their attorney was concerned largely in trying to obtain the release of Sharpe, the woman, and Johnson, who seemed to be victims of "bad" company, rather than pickpockets, as the police said they were.
A character witness for Sharpe was George W. Markey, white, 215 Sutherland street, City Island, publisher, who swore Sharpe had worked for him for a long period and he found the man was honest and capable. Sharpe at various times found purses belonging to members of Markey's family and always returned them, which was not so with other chauffeurs he employed, he said.

friend and tell her that, if she would come by his apartment right away his little sister would allow her to see it. it is further claimed. The prisoner would always be in the act of leaving town. it is alleged.
When the young matron would reach the apartment the man would draw a revolver and threaten her life if she screamed. He would then force her to have intimate relations with him, first stripping her of her jewelry.
At least this is the well-worked-out theory of detectives assigned to the case.
Another interesting version of the vile acts of the man was told by a young woman. She said that the man deliberately flashed a revolver in her face when she answered the doorbell in her apartment. He forced her to give him all of her valuable property and then, at the point of a gun, forced her to have improper relations with him. The prisoner even posed as a police officer in plain clothes, according to some of the complainants. One young matron informed the authorities that the unscrupulous man fired a shot at her head when she resisted his attack. She dodged and the bullet grazed her right cheek. It was necessary for her to be treated at Harlem Hospital.
It is expected by the police to secure over twenty young women to sign complaints against the prisoner. Already he has been positively identified by at least twelve persons. Each one of them so far have charged him with robbery, felonious assault and rape.
Held for Stealing Laundry From Wagon
Charged with stealing laundry from a delivery wagon, two youths were held in $1,000 bail each by Macrastrate Well in Hurlem Court. Saturday to await the action of the Grand Judy.
The two prisoners were identified as Arthur Steele, 19, 2230 Fifth avenue, and Frederick White, 16, 1112 E, 13th street. According to Charles Morales, white, 320 St. Nicholas avenue, driver of the wagon, the youths stole two bundles of laundry from his wagon, it was standing at Madison avenue near 110th street.
Both of the defendants pleaded not guilty.

Grand Larceny Charge Must Stand
Complainant Is Threatened With Arrest if He Withdraws From Case
The arrest of Emanuel Grant, a taxicab driver, was threatened in the Heights Court, Monday, when he attempted to withdraw a complaint of grand larceny against Lawrence Middleton, 28, vulcanizer, 100 W. 144th street. According to Grant, his taxicab was stolen from the corner of Lenox avenue and 135th street, and was found abandoned at 144th street and Lenox avenue. Some of the parts and tires were missing. Several days later, the complainant said, he found his tires on another machine. On inquiring where the tires came from, the driver said that he was informed that Middleton sold them to him.
Middleton, who is held in $1,000 bail, offered to pay the chauffeur for the value of the tires if he would withdraw the complaint. Grant informed the court. As this is in violation of the law, the complainant was threatened with arrest if he withdrew the complaint.

The millions who have used mange medicine will be glad that the tar odor has been taken from Sergeant's.

Thomas Hollingworth Held in S3,000 Bail for Grand Jury on Charge of Cop Who Ordered Him to "Move On"
For attempting to take revenge on a police officer who insisted upon him moving from a street corner, it is alleged, Thomas Hollingworth, 676 St. Nicholas avenue, was held in S3,000 bail for the Grand Jury, Monday, by Magistrate Earl Smith, sitting in the Washington Heights Court.
Held for Theft of Panama Hats
Charged with grand larceny, Janies Steele, 99 West 135th street, was held in 420,000 ball Thursday, when he was arraigned in the Washington Heights Court.
Steele was arrested by Detective Winterhalter of the West 135th street station, who said his prisoner was walking along the street with a bundle of Panama hats.
The detective made Steele take him to his home, he said. Searching Steele's room, the officer reported finding two 45-calibre revolvers, one 38, one blackjack and one sultetto, all of which he displayed before Magistrate Douras.
Steele's lawyer said it was impossible to hold him for having the weapons in his home, as he produced a license to keep a revolver. Thus Steele could not be held for violation of the Sullivan Law.
The detective, having arrested Steele originally on a grand larceny charge, said that Steele could not explain the possession of the hats.

Sergeant's revives it
Ordinary "tonies" are not enough to remedy the situation. But Sergeant's Mange Medicine (no tar odor) works down into the scalp, wakes the sleeping hair roots, revives the tiny oil glands, removes dandruff, livens the hair itself, and brings back the bloom of youth. There's no alcohol in it—it will not dry the scalp.
Nothing out but the tar odor
Perhaps you wonder how the tar odor has been removed. But rest assured that there has been no other change. Sergeant's Mange Medicine is just as strong, just as effective as ever.
Patrolman Leighman of the West 135th street station, who made the complaint, testified that on May 19 a group of men, including Hollingworth, was congregated on the corner of 131st street and Lenox avenue. Walking up to the men, the policeman said that he asked them to move on. Hollingworth hefted, the officer testified, and he pushed him with his night stick.
Several hours later the policeman said that he was walking down the avenue when a number of bricks were hurled at him from a five-story building. Leighman identified Hollingworth as the man who threw the bricks. The policeman's assailant escaped.
Last week, while patrolling his post, he observed the defendant in a barber shop and placed him under arrest.
The defendant's counsel attempted to set up an alibi that he was at home at the hour of the alleged attack on the officer.
In corroborating the testimony of the prisoner, Mrs. Louise Smith, his landlady, gave conflicting statements when she was cross-examined by Assistant District Attorney George Ewald as to the time Hollingworth retired on the night of the alleged assault.

NELSON'S
HAIR DRESSING
Suffering from the bullet wound, William Moore. 65 West 139th street, was taken to Harlem Hospital and lodged in the prison ward. He was shot, it is alleged, when he was grappling with the detective in an attempt to escape after he had been arrested in connection with the theft of a diamond ring. Detective Moore had been looking for Moore for more than a month. Friday night he was informed that he might be found at 11th street and Lenox avenue, he said. At 1 A. M. Saturday the officer said he saw his prisoner. Walking out from his hiding place he placed Moore under arrest. The young man, he said, showed no apparent indication to resist arrest until they had walked nearly a block.
Suddenly, he says, Moore turned and struck him in the face. He then ran south on Lenox avenue. Reaching the corner, Moore dashed into the hallway of No. 1 West 135th street.
The officer followed the fleeing boy to the rear of the second floor with his revolver drawn. There the prisoner, the officer said, gave right again. As the boy grappled with him the detective fired one shot into Moore's right leg. A crowd soon collected, and a report was sent to the West 135th street station that a crowd was threatening a police officer. A sound of reserve officers were rushed to the scene.

Despite Romano's testimony, Mullin was discharged by Magistrate Flood, when Policeman Kennedy of Traffic C swore Romano said he was struck on his right side. Romano said Mullin hit him during an argument when he failed to get a civil answer to a question he asked the porter who was acting as a special officer at the station.

was given by Franklin QO. Nichols, assistant secre-
tary, Department of Education, American Social
Hygiene Association. -
This six weeks’ course, designed for the “pur-
pose of training of teachers to equip future men
and women in the essentials of the home and home
building,-and the-training of sex character in rela-
tion to that.” has been given in two white universi-
ties. This was the first try-out.of such a course ip
2 Negro institution.
Through the ciforts of the American Social

will become a recognized part of formal education in
the schools and colleges of our country.”
Heretofore. it was thought that such a course
merely included. a series of lectures. on venereal
diseases... The course. as given~ by Mr. Nichols,

Women Leaders of Moose to Fight for Assemblyman
The political future of the Negro of New Jersey appears to rest largely into the hands of the women of that State, rather than in the hands of the men. This appears particularly true of the fight this year, when it is hoped to have returned to the State Legislature a man of Negro blood. The fight is being directed by Mrs. H. Blanche Harris, 47 Marshall street, Newark, who is also one of the leaders in the Moose organization of New Jersey. Mrs. Harris insists that Dr. Earnest Matter must be sent to the Legislature to fight the entire Republican machine of the State of New Jersey. She pledges the support of the women's fraternal organizations of that State, particularly that of the Moose, which organization has become very powerful since it was organized a little over two years ago.

Murder of White Woman Discovered Through Efforts of Mrs. Hamilton
Murder of White Woman Discovered Through Efforts of Mrs. Hamilton
Colored Woman Noticed Suspicious Moves by White Men and Enlisted Aid of Cops, Who Discovered Body in Utica Avenue House
Mrs. Elizabeth Cloonan. 45. a Kings County Hospital employee, was found dead with her throat cut from ear to ear early Thursday in a one-story ramshackle building at 100 Utica avenue.
Two white men, seen hurrying from the shack just before the body was discovered, are being sought by the police. One of the men, dressed in gray, carried a cane. The second man wore a cap and was without a coat.
EIGHT
Dr. Caruso, of St. Mary's Hospital, who was summoned by the police, said the cutting had been done with a sharp instrument, evidently a razor. The woman had been dead but a short time when he arrived, the doctor said.
House Recently Rented.
The victim wore a black dress, blue silk underwear, flesh colored stockings. Her shoes were off and her hat was thrown in a corner of the room.
The house, which is in the heart of the colored section of upper Brooklyn, had been empty until Tuesday of last week, when it was rented by a white man, now sought by the police.
At 7:45 Thursday, Mrs. Ethel Hamilton, 22, heard screams coming the shack. Mrs. Hamilton knocked on the door. As she did so, a man about 30 years old, with his hair dishevelled and coatless, came to the door. In his hand, he had a blue cap.
"What do you want?" the man demanded of Mrs. Hamilton, she told the police.
Ordered Her Away.
Mrs. Hamilton said she told the man she knew the house was vacant and demanded to know what he was doing there. The man ordered her to go about her own business, she said. She returned to her house, next door, and was telling Miss Josephine McBeth, a young colored girl who rooms with her, about it, when they saw two men rush from the building. They walked rapidly toward Eastern parkway.
Mrs. Hamilton and Miss McDeth, suspecting something was wrong, went out to find a policeman. Paroleman Callahan, of the Empire blvd. station, returned with the romen.
As they went into the shack they saw a woman lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Her throat had been slashed.
Patrolman Callahan notified Capt. McCloskey, who returned to the scene with detectives. They learned from Mrs. Grace Mangano, who lives across the street at 101 Ulica avenue, that the shack had been rented on Tuesday for a week. Mrs. Mangano, who is upstate on the shack, while its owner is upstate on a vacation. The man who rented the place took the keys and said he would move in some day during the week.
Heard Screams.
The shack has only three or four rooms. The only furniture in the place was an old fashioned grand piano and a stove. It is two doors away from the Utica avenue Nazarene Church, attended by a colored congregation.
The identification was made by references found in the woman's pocketbook, which gave the name of Maloney at 320 Macon street, as a forwarding address. A member of the Maloney family identified her as the Mrs. Cloonan. She is said to have a husband and daughter living some place on Summer avenue.
Harry Kenny, of 1801 Dean street told detectives that he heard screams coming from the shack Thursday morning at 2 o'clock, but he paid no attention to it. The detectives are working on the angle that the woman may have been held a prisoner at the shack a few days before she was murdered.
New Yorkers Arrested in Jamaica for Swindling
A new complaint charging them with a $237 swindle has been filed against Roland Wilson, 22. of 42 West 138th street, and James Vaughn, 30. of 246 West 28th street, both Manhattan. The men, both colored, worked a "money switching game" on him for that amount, according to Chauney Carlton, of $9 George street, Jamaica.
Their method, which, it is alleged, has been worked on several Jamaica colored persons, is to pretend wealth, then them involved in an argument as to whether a colored man is allowed, in New York, to draw his money from the bank. A bet is posted with the victim, and he withdraws his deposit. During congratulations on his winning the bet, the con man substitute cut paper for the bills.

Jackson Removed From Sayville Jail for Fear of Lynching Party
SAYVILLE, Aug. 21. — When Wilbur Jackson, 26, salesman for the Regina Vacuum Company, of 267 Fulton street, Brooklyn, was arrested at the instigation of Assistant District Attorney A. G. Blue after a 16-year-old girl of West Saskatchewan had all night experiences with Jackson in the latter's automobile Wednesday night, was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Daniel White in the court house yesterday afternoon, Lawyers J. Melvin Dodson of Bay Shore and Alfred Freeman of this village appeared as counsel for him.
When Jackson's attorneys requested an adjournment until Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Asst. Dist. Atty. Blue asked the court to increase Jackson's ball from $4,000 to $10,300 because of the seriousness of the charge.
Also, owing to the intense feeling Jackson's attack upon the girl has aroused, Mr. Blue ordered Jackson removed from the local look-up to the County Jail at Riverhead for safety sake. Rumors that the local look-up on the ground door of the court, house, and only separated from the street by a wooden door would be informed and the prisoner mistreated if not killed. impelled the District Attorney's office to protect Jackson with the shelter of the more distant county jail, 40 mile east. To date Jackson has failed to secure bail. He resides in Arlington, N. J.
Manhattan Man To Be Charged With Assault
MINEOLA, Aug. 23.—Policeman Reithman today arrested Arthur Young, of 42 East 135th street, Manhattan. He will be charged with assault and attempted robbery. In company with Dennis Thorland he went to a house at Inwood yesterday and is alleged to have telephoned to a local drug store for a small amount of drugs, asking that the messenger bring change for $20. When the messenger arrived the two men are accused of attempting to take the money from him, but the arrival of L. J. Martins frightened them off and they tried to escape. The police reported the matter to the police and Young was arrested, his associate making his escape. Young, it is said, confessed to the police last night and said that the plan was made up by his partner, who threatened to kill him if he did not assist him. The police are now searching for Thorand.

White Man Introducing L. L Paper
Names Dropped From the Masthead When Former Garveyite Made Hasty Retreat
The spectacle of a white man trying to introduce a colored paper to the people in that section of Harlem thickly populated by Negroes is being presented these days. The paper halls from Jamaica, L.L., but is lying to make an intensive drive in Harlem. Hardly any news of the section in which it is supposed to be published is noticed. Shortly after a former Garveyite quit the sheet as editor all the names came down from the masthead of the sheet. Those supposed to know claimed that this move was made with an eve to preventing "additions and subtractions" from the usual newspaper box as it is a known fact that many will withdraw before the paper celebrates its next birthday.
The section in which it is published hasn't taken so warmly to it, as will be seen by the lack of any responsible news, the editors being content to attempt to "rewrite" articles from other papers. Apparently the Amsterdam News is a Godsend to its sporting and theatrical department.

Plan Boosting Campaign.
Intensive plans were laid for increasing Negro business in the coming year, four of which are the pressing into service of the National Medical Association, the churches and all the fraternal organizations into a booster's campaign; a still greater use of the Negro press; a national organizer to travel and strengthen leagues already organized; and a nationalize and popularize National Negro Trade Week, employing every means possible to sell Negro business to the Negro and to America.
The delegates, 195 in number, hailing from almost every state, are warm in their praise of the cordial welcome given them by Mayor John D. Marshall and other city officials as well as the white Chamber of Commerce.

Many inspiring addresses were made on the closing day. Albert H. Lee of Chicago, president of the Your Cab Co., told of the growth of the company from the ownership of a single cab a few years ago to the present number of 95 with 267 employees, all colored. Mr. Lee stressed the importance of Negroes getting into business. "My experience is," he said, "that as soon as we're in a position to talk business we're no longer treated as Negroes but as Americans." Atty. R. McCants Andrews, secretary of the Durham, N. C., branch of the League, the largest said that the 91 colored places of business in Durham did a volume of $6.825,061.29 last year, employing 1,015 persons, all colored.
Chas. A. Shaw, assistant secretary, Victory Life Insurance Co. of Chicago, spoke on "Life Insurance as a Factor in the Negro's Economic Development," and the part it has played and is playing in conserving the wealth of the group, such as loans for the building of homes and businesses, "The seven Negro insurance companies have, at present," he says, "a capital and surplus of $2,000,000, a total income of $11,000,000 and gave employment to thousands of colored people. Contested with this," he says, "is one white insurance company which took in $40,000,000 from Negroes without giving employment to a single one. The insurance field," he pointed out, "is one of the greatest reservoirs of power in the commercial field and a powerful weapon that will aid us in gaining economic independence, the basis of citizenship."
Dr. Algeron B. Jackson, director public education, Howard University, declared that more business failures were due to physiological than to economic causes. The basis of ascendancy, the power of doing things lies in health. "The biggest business before the so-called Negro today," he said, "is to become an American and a healthy American." J. Turner Wall, of the A. B. C Club of Chicago, gave a stirring talk on the business development of that city. At present time he said the two colored banks there had deposits of $4,000,000, as compared with $70,000,000 on deposit by Negroes in white banks. Other speakers were Gerard Millar, health lecturer of Buffalo:

Washington, D. C.
BY JEANETTE CARTER
E. H. Droop, proprietor of the largest and oldest music store in the city, had this to say in an interview a few days ago concerning "Negro Spirituals."
"In this announcement I desire to express what I feel about this wonderful music of the Negro. Many of these melodies are unquestionably of ancient tribal origin and were brought to this country more than 300 years ago by those poor beings who, torn from their homes, were sold into slavery. Hearing them, you will find that many were expressive of deep sadness and suffering; rarely do these express wordly happiness or joy. Added to and taken from as time went on, they gradually became a fountain of hope and consolation—always expressing the Negro's faith in God and belief in immortality.
"The old Negro of 50 to 100 years ago had a 'spiritual complex' that passes modern understanding; with 'all honor, he clings reverently to 'de words of God' as expounded to him by his spiritual advisers. These Negro spirituals will remain forever as classics of the purest Negro blood that ever found lodgment within our shores. They are as soul-stirring as the cry of Rachel."
Colored sightseers visit Mount Vernon, Virginia, a historical spot around Washington, are now given service in the big dining room hereforo closed to them—about four weeks ago a white man from the west with his family and servants visited Mount Vernon, and it was around dinner time; he went into the dining room and ordered dinner for four, his family, the maid and chaufeur. He was told by the proprietor that this family could be served, but that they could not serve the maid and chaufeur. This westerner replied that they could cancel all the orders if they could not all be served in the same dining room—the proprietor not wishing to lose the price of six dinners consented to allow them all to eat in the dining room.
Other colored people visiting Mount Vernon at that time and seeing these two colored people seated in the dining room, they entered and were promptly served—since that time colored people have experienced no trouble in getting service in the Mount Vernon Cafe, at Mount Vernon, Virginia.

Douglass National Bank of Chicago Shows Remarkable Progress
Douglass National Bank of Chicago Shows Remarkable Progress
CHICAGO, Ill. FROM a recent survey of The Douglass National Bank of Chicago it was found that the institution is efficiently and conservatively managed and has shown unprecedented growth among the business enterprises owned and operated by colored people.
In point of resources, the bank is now the largest bank in the United States owned by colored people. At the close of business June 30, 1926, the resources were more than one million, nine hundred thousand dollars. This represents an increase of over a million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars since June 30, 1923.
The institution has a capital and surplus of $235,000. Ten thousand dollars of this surplus was added out of earnings during the first six months of this year. The two thousand shares of the capital stock of the bank are owned by more than 250 stockholders, located in many sections of the country. These stockholders have already begun to receive dividends and it is evident that those who own the stock have an unusually good investment.
45,000 Depositors in Four Years
More than 45,000 persons and institutions have opened accounts in The Douglass National Bank within the past four years. Among these depositors are included the City of Chicago, Cook County (the county in which Chicago is located), and the State of Illinois. The bank is also a depository for Pos-
roctor. Sixth District, Judge James A. Cobb, Washington, D. C. The committee on constitutional revision is composed of Attorneys Victoire N. Anderson, Chicago, Ill.; S. Joe Brown, Des Moines, Ia.; William C. Matthews, Boston, Mass.; Jesse N. Baker, Chicago, Ill., and L. A. Knox, Missouri.

When this lady and her company opened at the Alhambra Theatre in "Miss Calloo" it was expected that she was bound to fall down because the Alhambra has been a hard house to get them in. Of course an exception was made in the case of Florence Mills, and when Rector and Copper presenting some kind of a revue hauled off and pulled the season's greatest failure at the same house, it was conclusive evidence to the white ones that the Alhambra was a bust. But along came Ethel Waters. Instead of being a bust, success

crowned the efforts of Earl Dancer and while it had been definitely decided that the house would close down for this week, there was nothing doing as Ethel and her gang kept pulling them in such large numbers they just had to keep the house open.
We caught Noble Sissle laughing himself almost sick one night last week at the Alhambra—Noble and about a thousand others, so we hastened to Earl and joined with him in the belief that the offering was good for another week or two. Early hesitated until he heard the demand call for the production and there was nothing left for him to do. He just had to give the people what they wanted and the result is that the Waters show continues to go big at the Alhambra.
Billy Mitchell has been helping to knock them off their seats with that court room scene, while Ethel and her girls with song numbers being put over in high continue to bring them down Seventh avenue. It is a great tribute to the drawing powers of Miss Waters not only to play to big houses the first week, but being forced into another week and still going big at a house that was fast getting the taint of "white elephant" among colored people.
Gertrude Saunders Star With "Red Hot Mama"
Another Irvin Miller Show Underlined for the Lafayette Theatre Next Week
The title is very plebeian, that under which Irvin C. Miller's show will come into the Lafayette Theatre next week, but Irvin can at least revert to the statement made by a long gone celebrity and ask "What's in a name, an show?" Reminds me of another name Miller had ages ago called "Hot Dog." Be that as it may, the show will come here after a successful showing over at the Orpheum Theatre in Newark. N. J. a week wherein Miller's press agent assures us it lid the best business that has ever been done at the above mentioned house.
Gertrude Saunders will head the list of stars numbering many who are well and widely known to this section of the country. Many are of the opinion that Irving's show will have to go some to heat this week's offering, but Miller will tell the world that he can go some when it is necessary and we shall see what we shall see.
The Roosevelt Theatre
One of the strangest collections of oddities of human nature imaginable is seen on the screen in "Mismates," the week-end attraction at the Roosevelt Theatre, which Charles Brabin directed in New York for Earl Hudson unit of First National. Among the unusual types that were used in one sequence of this picture were a giant standing seven feet and eight inches, a bearded lady, a tiny midget, a man with skin like an alligator, a man with spider legs and a woman weighing in the vicinity of five hundred pounds. Quite a collection of peculiar types, to say the least.
"Mismates" is the screen version of Myron Farm's stage play of the same title. Doris Kenyon and Warner Baxter have the featured roles. In the cast are Philo McCullough, Mae Allison, Charlie Murray, John Kolb, Maude Turner Gordon, Nancy Kelley and Ollie Mack.
Mamie Smith at the Lincoln Next Week
Bert Goldberg Has Signed the Original Warbler of Blues for Next 3 Years
Mamie Smith will breeze into the New Lincoln Theatre next week surrounded by an array of artists that will again put Mrs. Downs' theatre right in the forefront. In fact, we might as well remind our readers that the New Lincoln Theatre has played a bigger part in the theatricals in this community than many can appreciate. It was down at this house that the seed was planted for the drama which met so much success afterwards at the Lafayette, and when it comes to revues, it was at the Lincoln Theatre that this form of amusement was given full sway.
We understand that Pert Goldberg has signed Miss Smith for the next three years and is at present busy getting her ready for the big farewell American tour before her European trip. A new repertoire of songs has been prepared for her Lincoln appearance next week.
The Douglas Theatre
"The Golden Web," the first of the Greater Gotham productions which comes to Douglas Theatre next Saturday, Sunday and Monday, contains every basic element of popular appeal. The author, E. Phillips Oppenheim, is one of the most popular writers of present day fiction and "The Golden Web" is acclaimed as one of the very best of his many successful novels. The producers assert that in screening this story they have made absolutely no changes in the structure of the story and that the photoplay is as close to the book as it is possible to make it.
The story tells of a man who has fought his way to the top in business. At the very moment of his greatest financial and social success he finds himself caught in the meshes of the golden web of business and absolute ruin faces him. Forgotten events of his past now confront him and threaten his immediate downfall. He becomes involved in a case of blackmail and eventually a murder trial. He passes through this trying period which brings about his entire moral regeneration and in the end he finds that love compensates for the loss of many material things he had thought the ultimate in life.
Pola Comes to the Renaissance Theatre
"Ranson's Folly." With Bar-thelmess Underlined for the Week-End
Pola Negrl in "Good and Naughty," supported by Tom Moore and Ford Sterling, comes to the Renaissance Theatre. Thursday and Friday. August 26-27.
This is a Malcolm St. Clair production packed with dazzle, drama and comedy as well as emotional strength in which the famous Pola is starred to excellent advantage. An up-to-the minute American story, the picture is one that will satisfy the most critical movie lover.
Over the week-end, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, August 29-30 and 30, the attraction at the Renaissance Theatre will be "Ranson's Folly" with Richard Barthelmess and Dorothy Mackaill. The story, by Richard Harding Davis, is a typical action-story by that famous writer and likewise is a typical Barthelmess acting picture. Action, from start to finish, the kind that gets the interest from the beginning and holds it to the end, is found in this most interesting picture which all should see amid the comfort and refinement of the Renaissance Theatre.
Whitney Coming Along Nicely After Operation
Taken to Harlem Hospital for Quick Operation Last Wednesday Morning From His Home
Those who saw S. Tutt Whitney and his brother, J. Homer Tutt, cutting up at the Lafayette Theatre last Monday and Tuesday did not know that the former has been appearing before the footlights for the past few months under the handicap of illness.
Salem Tutt, like most people who are carried away with their work, hated to voluntarily leave the production and place himself on a hospital cot to remain a few weeks, hence when nature asserted itself last week he was forced to bow to the inevitable and it was Dr. Louis Wright who came as the ministering angel.
It was during the early morning hours of last Wednesday that Whitney was rushed to Harlem Hospital suffering with an acute attack of gall stones. Whitney had diamagosed his own case as nervous indigestion and for some time fooled himself into believing that he was giving himself the real home treatment stuff. But it took one of the learned medicos to jokingly tell Salem that he knew all about the stage but would do well to leave medi-

Evelyn Mason as Company Manager of Show
Duncan Sisters to Back an All-Colored "Topsy and Eva"
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Aug. 21.
-Miss Evelyn Mason, who recently arrived here from New York City as secretary to Garland Anderson, author of "Appearances," over alert to do something for her people, conceived the idea, on seeing the Duncan Sisters in "Topsy and Eva." to have them organize an all-star colored cast for this show in which they have starred with outstanding success for the last three years.
Miss Mason did not stop with merely conceiving the idea, but stayed right on the job with the Duncan Sisters until she sold the idea to them, with the result that she is now casting over 50 of our people to tour the country in the largest all-colored musical comedy since Williams' and Walker's time. After casting for the show, Miss Mason will be retained by the Duncan Sisters as company manager, marking the first time in history that a colored girl has held the position of company manager for a large musical comedy.
No expense is to be spared in making this show a big success. Paul Robeson has been suggested for the role of "Uncle Tom."
Broadway to Harlem
Old Broadway was transported to Seventh avenue last week when artists came up to Harlem to enjoy a festival at Small's Paradise.
White women, yellow, women, brown women, all dressed in beautiful gowns, awayed to the tinkling of jazz produced by the Willie Grant Paradise Orchestra. Entertainers evoked hues laughter. Everybody danced. Everybody happy.
Probably the successful week's entertainment of the theatrical folk was due to the efforts of the handsome manager, John Skinner, and his assistant, Luther Cherry. The spacious club room was adorned with colored balloons. On the tables there were rubber dolls.
At times the place would become still as, though everyone's heart had stopped beating. What happened? Ethel Waters and her

"Temptations" a Very Good Show
Array of Artists Assembled at the Lafayette Theatre-Hitting the High Spots
One of the best shows seen at the Lafayette Theatre. That's what they're saying of the big show down at the Seventh avenue house this week and those who have followed what is going on at the same house will admit that they certainly have to go some to get people to make that statement.
And it is true. They call what they have to offer "Temptations," and they have assembled one of the best arrays of artists not only to tempt you, but to keep you tempted even after you have witnessed the show.
It opened Monday afternoon, and if ever an aggregation of entertainers received a warm welcome it is that bunch which will be at the Lafayette all this week. To single out one of our intention would be a hard job, hence we simply rise to ask you to see for yourself, and if we are wrong we want to be told. We told you last week about

Not the First to Sign With Victor Company
Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty,
Dramatico Editor N. Y. Amsterdam News,
New York City.
Dear Sir:
I beg to differ with the Savoy Ballroom Management in reference to a recent statement made by them. They claim that the 'Savoy Bearcats' Is the first colored orchestra to record exclusively for the Victor Recording Company.
As back as a few years ago I had the privilege of playing with a colored orchestra HAVING AN EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT WITH THE VICTOR COMPANY, namely, Arthur Gibbs and his "Gang."
This is not written in an antagonistic spirit, because several of the Savoy boys are personal friends of mine, but as a matter of enlightenment to the public as well as the Savoy Management. More people are seeking guidance. Thanking you for space in your valuable columns, I remain.
Yours truly,
JEROME BOURKE.
Editor's Note—The Amsterdam News is the only local paper which did not carry a story last week stating that this was the first time a colored orchestra was recording exclusively for the Victorian writer of the above letters did not say that we did, but we thought we would give our contemporaries a hint to be more careful in the future.
At the Lincoln Theatre
We've had all sorts of "Ladies" in the movies. The latest, "The Lady of the Harem," which comes to the Lincoln Theatre for the latter half of this week, is a sure winner!
Greta Nissen, that lovely Norse lady, is a very young dream of beauty. As the youngesterman shelden, she gives the best performance of her cinema career. William Collier, Jr., plays coppice Miss Nissen. Ernest Torrence is seen as "Hassan" and Louise Fazenda is his flirtatious friend.
"The Lady of the Harem" was adapted from James Elroy Fleecker's successful stage spectacle, "Hassan." Raoul Walsh directed for Paramount from James T. Oppenheimer. Putting it mildly, and making rather a faint guess, there must be almost 10,000 people who appear in this filming of what looks like one of the Arabian Nights.

And strange to say, appearing in minor roles, one sees some of the screen's most prominent character actors. Flocker's story is that of the city of Khormasan which suffered from the cruelties of an unjust Sultan. The ruler steals, plunder, taxes, takes and destroys at will. Gretn. Collier's sweetheart, is abducted and taken to the royal palace. Collier tries to rescue her, but is finally captured himself. Then, for many harrowing escapes and scenes, the hero's friend, Ernest Terrence, leads an army of beggars on the tyrant's stronghold. He is killed, his army demolished, and the lovers are once more united.

"4-11-44" Drew a Full House and Encores Kept Them Until After Twelve
We haven't the inspiration to write of the Hunter show as we could have. And this because we always seem to experience a great deal of trouble getting some of the officials at the 125th street house whenever we want to talk to them in reference to matters of business in connection with this police. Mr Burkhardt takes notice. You can K, with BUH—Well in spite of it all, it gives us a great deal of pleasure to tell the world that "4-11-44," which is Eddie Hunter's "How Come" brought right up to 1926, with the assistance of Tim Brymnn, got off to a wonderful start at Hurtig and Seamon's house on 125th street last. Saturday night.
It was a big audience that sat in to see the show in its new dress of beautiful costumes, a brightly singing choir, comedians putting over comedy, and singing that virtually stopped the show. It was a big night all around.
We have said so much in the past of this show we find it hard to add anything that can be more interesting than what we said in the past. Eddie Hunter, George Cooper, Amon Davis, Andrew Trible and the rest of the bunch are simply knocking them over. All hands got off to a wonderful start on Saturday night and on Monday night they were into their stride and nothing can stop "41-44."

It must have been a sad blow to
Charles Fred White. colored mem
ber of the Pennsylvania Boxing
Commission, when they swung the
Dempsoy-Tunney fight to the “City
of Sleep.” Some weeks ago, when
the first announcement was made
of Tex Rickard’s plans In bringing
Tunney and Dempsey together to
keep Wills out of the running.
White sent Chairman Farler of
the New York Boxing Commission
3 communication. advising him
that the Dempsey-Tunney engage-
ment savored of a fake go.
‘Belfeving that Mr. While had in-
side information and knew whet
be wes talking about, we immedt-
ately wired him for a detailed ac
count of the charge he had made
and offered him all the space he
desired in these columns. Mr.
White wired back that he would
accede to our request and send in
an_article.
Twenty-four hours after we had
expected the article another tele-
gram came from the commissioner,
telling us he was too busy to
tackle the matter at that time. We
walted In the hope that he would
aventually ‘come through,” but be-
fore he did our license committee
put the clamps on Dempsey and
they carried the fight right up to
Mr. White's front door,
White refused to pass a vote to
welcome the fight for the Sesqul-
Centennial. and it is now bruited
about Philadelphia and New Yors
that he will be asked to resign.
{t is being claimed that White is
“constrained to put every obstacle
in the path of the Pennsylvania
Boxing Commission." This we, of
course. do not believe. because he
has stood for everything that's

‘Greatest Achievements in
College Athletics Scored
by Negroes
“In my mail the other day.” says Art Carlson. writing in the
Pitzsburgh Press, “came this cuery: ‘What do you consider the
two greatest performances hung up by college athletes in track
and feld competition of recent years” That's a rather tough
3esignment when one escails quite « number of sensational feats
fhe cellegians have turned in lately. However, two stand out in
bold rellef, Ike silhouettes, against the field. Charizy Brookins
of fowa accounted for one, DeHart Hubbard, Michigan, the other.
“Brookins, In .1923, skipped the 220yard low hurdles in the
pher ornenal time of 2325. ‘That cay he blasted a mark that had
Withatood all assaults for a quarter of a century. For until the
Hawkeye came along no one had been able to excel the 2335
record eatabliched by Alvin Kraenzilein. old Penn star, In 1898.
“ESSSENot even the Smithsons, the Wendells, the Simpsons, the
Johnsons and a host of ether recognized timbertoppers could turn
the trick and when they failed it appeared the Kraenziein perform
anee was certain to stand for a long time yet. But Brookins,
then a junior at lowa, succeeded where more highly-touted boys
had been unable to come through.
“He-bbard, a8 you'll doubtlese recall. made his record-shattering
effort In the running broad jump. He did It in the national col-
Tegiates at Chicago last summer, icaping 25 feet, 107% Inches.
Hubtard's teap broke the former mark hung up by Boo Legendre,
ex-Georgetown celebrity. at the 1924 Olymples, by four Inches.
“There was a dit of what the theatrical folk term “drama”
attached to Hubbard's performance. For four seasons the colored
Bey had been trying to put over a new world mark. On several
Oceasiong he had come within whispering distance of it and once
Setually had beat the record only to have the Jump disallowed be-
Gause he had overstepped the takeoff. 1 saw Hubbard at the
Big Ten meet the week before he made his record-breaking Jump.
He broke the conference mark that time, clearing ‘253/72.’ but again
falied In an attempt to better Legendre's figures.
“Hubbard, however, still Rad faith in his ability to establish
a new record. And so did his coach, the veteran Steve Farrell.
in fact, Farrell had remarked earlier In the season that his star
would beat Legendre's effort-before the end of the college campalgn.
“Hubbard's chance finally came at Chicago. On his very last
trial a a wearer of the Michigan maize and blue the ebony-hued
lad hurtled through the air for a record apt to stand for quite a
stretch. And not only did Hubbard get into the lst of “world
fitlenolders,’ but he also Tealized his pet ambition—to make the
grade as a collegian,
“To my mind the achievements of Brookins and Hubbard stand
out as the two greatest In college competition of recent years.
One battered down a record that had turned back a long and
unusually talented group of challengers for 25 campaigns In go
event that had known but little advancement since the days of
Pat O'Connor, close to 30 years ago.”

GOURDIN FAILED IN PENTATHLON
Theodore Drews, former Princeton University football, basketball, and track luminary, who now sports the colors of the New York A. C., captured the national A. A. U. pentathlon championship at the track and field meet of the Norwegian Turn Society at Ulmer Park. Sunday afternoon. Throughout the course of events showers fell, putting the field in such a muddy condition that the pole vaulting event was cancelled.
In winning the title, Drews outclassed four great champions, namely, Harold Osborn, of the Illinois A. C. holder of the world's decathlon record; Paul Courtois, also of the New York A. C. last year's national pentathlon titleholder; Ned Gourdin of the Massachusetts National Guard and former Harvard University star, and Anthony Woodstroff, of the Newark A. C., both former pentathlon champions. Another noteworthy fact is that Drews, who achieved fame in his college days as end on the Princeton football team and as the star quarter-miler of the Orange and Black track squad last spring, never competed in an all-around test of any sort until he essayed to capture the pentathlon diadem Sunday.
Rain Also Scores Over Teams in Brooklyn
For the first time this season the rain scored an over wobbling victory over Brooklyn's leading semi-pro teams on Sunday, when Jupiter Pluritus' idea of a good time forced the Bushwicks, Farmers and Bay Ridere to call off their scheduled double-headers. The Bushwicks were to have met the Bacharach Giants, while the Farmers were scheduled to oppose the Elm City Colored Giants. The championship series in Queens between the Hawkeye Indians and the Richmond Hill Club could not be resumed, our the two teams will attempt to stage their second and third clashes at Community Stadium Sunday. The Farmers will tackle the sensational New York Fire Dept. team at Farmers' Oval Saturday, and the strong D. and H. Generals, of Albany, will be the Glendalers' guests in two games Sunday.

LEE DROPS HIS MAN
Canada Lee, sensational Salem-Crescent A.C. boxer, added another victim to his long list at the Crescent A.C.'s country house at Bay Ridge last Thursday evening, when he knocked out Bobby Andrews of the Holy Name Club in two minutes and three seconds of the second round of their clash in the 149-pound class. The end came when Lee landed a hard right to the jaw after he had dropped Andrews with a stiff left to the face for a count of nine. Thursday night's appearance was Andrews' first in the East. He formerly represented the Olympic Club of San Francisco.
Mike Samuelson of the Norwegian Turn Society registered the only other knockout triumph when he scored over Leo Blynn of Willie Becker's Club after two minutes and 58 seconds of the second round of their bout in the 128-pound division. Samuelson lambasted his adversary unmercifully, dropping him several times with hard blows to the face until the referee interposed and called a halt, giving Samuelson a technical knockout victory. Louis Tito, promising 118-pounders of the Trinity A. C., scored an impressive victory over Harry Stieke of the Salem-Crescent A. C. in a lively three-round session. Stieke, who recently forced Stanley Cross, also of the Trinity Club, to the utmost to win, put up a game fight against Tito, but the latter knew too much for him and outgenerated him. The summary:

Billiard Notes
By OLD IVORY
OLD IVORY is taking a much needed rest during this month. While doing so he is arranging the program of prospective carom and post billiard tournaments which will be posted at the Lafayette Billiard Emporium. Sept. 1.
FRANK METZGER, automobile man from Cleveland, Ohio, William Carr, Earl Winston, Maron Fields and Joe Brice all from Chicago, were introduced to the Emporium by that theatrical sage and popular billiardist, Schooler. They were well pleased, saying they had never seen anything like the Emporium in any of their travels, and they have traveled some.
DUSSELL DAVIS, former secretary of the C. A. B. P., sends in a card announcing his arrival in Chicago and on the job after spending a pleasant vacation in Poughkeepsie, his home town, and New York.
CHIEF Roberson of the Prince George and treasurer of the C. A. B. P., has returned from a pleasant two weeks' sojourn at the "World's Greatest Playground," Atlantic City, feeling fine and fit for a strenuous winter.
WITHOUT any more backing and killing, Clarence Jones has retained his honors as champion among the musicians. His logical attender, Bille Elmore, has resisted his play-off for the honors of the past season.
THE crowd that attended the announcing of the championship battle between Champion Flowers and Greb was a hundredinger. Walk Eller must be of the old school of southern gentlemen, who would take more on their "darkies" horses and hounds than any other man. "Was, sat, Colonel."
The billiard fans are anxiously waiting for the announcement of the entries of the Emporium open tournament. Among the eligibles are Nicholas, Atwell, Brown, Johnson, Jones, Elmer, Williams, Grey, Wilson, Lynch, Fair, Clauzwell, "Snake," Jeen, Stancli, and many others.

Trip One of the Most Successful in the History of Game in This Country
BERMUDA. Aug. 18—As your correspondent looks about him in the vast throngs coming out to witness the cricket games between the New York team, piloted by "Bob" Douglas and Cecil Carter and personally led by Ted Margerison, and the famous teams of Bermuda. I note that The Amsterdam News is the only paper of its kind with representation here.
The people of Bermuda are grateful for the interest this paper is showing in all forms of sport and, being the only medium through which thousands of friends of the teams will learn of the result of the visit, it is with pardonable pride that I am hastening my dispatch with the full scores of the three games played here.
NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1926
when we arrived at Bermuda, and it has been a warm welcome ever since. If there be any better sportsmen anywhere else in this wide world, your correspondent would like to see them, as Bermuda has extended courtesies which it would be hard for any other place to surpass.
Our boys have been in the best of form from the day they arrived here to the present. The brand of cricket they have uncovered against the Bermudians has brought nothing but praise. This is the first time that a full team has come from the United States to meet the best that Bermuda can produce, and Captain Margetson is leading a valiant crew against the Bermudians.
To lovers of the great, old English game the subjained scores cover more than anything else I can say about just what has been accomplished. I submit them without detail until all the games have been played. I am sure that New York has been waiting anxiously to learn just how the team has fared. and I direct attention to the scores which follow:

Flowers Given Raw Deal
(From the Morning Telegraph.)
Tiger Flowers, the "Fighting Deacon", bearded the lion in his den the other night and came out of the battle unscathed. He is still the middleweight champion, but for that he has no thanks to offer to either Harry Greb, his opponent in last Thursday night's brawl, or to Jimmy Growley the referee.
It savored too much of poor sportsmanship the way Greb broke every rule of the prize ring. The pitiful part of it all was to see a man, who has time and again covered himself with glory against opponents much heavier than himself, resort to such foul tactics as the former middleweight and light heavyweight champion used in an attempt to retrieve the honors he lost last February.
Jimmy Crowley, Ly counterenancing the dirty work, did not add to his popularity as an arbiter. Any other man in the ring and the Pittsburgh Pinwheel would have been curely disqualified. If he committed one offense he was guilty of a thousand. Every crime on the pugilistic calendar was committed by him, but he got away with everything. True, he was censured once, but it didn't mean a thing.
Walk Miller Thinks We're Out
After Tiger Flowers had again given the gate to Harry Berg, better known as Harry Greb, last Thursday night at Madison Square Garden, we held ourselves to the dressing room of the Tiger to congratulate him and find out if Walk Miller had anything to say to us that we could retail to the readers of The Amsterdam News. Walk thought that we pulled an "out" on the Rickard matter that we carried in our last issue. "You must remember," said Miller to us. "that Mr. Rickard has given Tiger Flowers a chance to win the title and he is also giving Chick Suggs a chance to come into his own."
We differed with Miller, but the Tiger was a mighty tired man and we did not want to add to his discomfiture by arguing the point with Mr. Miller at that time. However, we want to tell Walk that the first thing Tex Rickard did shortly after he went into power was to attempt to bring us Jim Crow stuff in boxing.
When Panama Joe Gans became too good for all the colored fighters and for a host of white fighters, he had a belt made and gave it to Joe as HOLDER OF THE COLORED END OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP. Tex Rickard did not give us a square and open break until he employed Jess McMahon as matchmaker at the Garden.
McMahon had made a success of matching colored and white fighters at the Commonwealth Sport Club. Years previous the same McMahon had a great deal to do with the Lincoln Giants and spent the best part of his time among colored people. He had enough confidence and courage to give us a chance and that was the first thing he did when he took charge at Madison Square Garden.
We have it on the best of authority that Tex Rickard is on record as stating that he was blamed for giving Jack Johnson a chance to win une heavyweight title and he doesn't intend to give Harry Wills a chance to bowl over Jack Dempsey. Read O'Rourk's letter in this issue and aside from learn-
ing that Dempsey is really afraid to meet Wills, you'll get some inside information on the champ that will be edifying. We repeat that we believe that Tex Rickard has a whole lot to do with Harry Wills not getting a chance to fight for the title.
Candda Lee, welterweight of the Crescent-Crescent A. C., chalked up his second knockout victory in two days when he forced Dan Ladner of the Amos A. C. to call quits at the end of the first round of their 135-pound bout at the Golden City Arena, Canarsie, last Friday night. Lee floored Bobby Andrews in jig-time at the Crescent A. C. Thursday evening.
Lee gave Ladner an unmerciful plastering in the first round and at the closing gong Ladner was almost exhausted. If the hout had gone on, the Salem-Crescent knockout king most likely would have sent Ladner to the canvas early in the second stanza. The summary: 110-Pound Class—Sam Cautofo, Beecher's Club, defeated John Esso, Gymnasium, decision, three rounds.
115-Pound Class—Rocco Slistl, Golden City A. C., defeated Marty Allen, Beecher's club, decision, four rounds; Stanley Scales, defeated Walter Zabriskie, unattained, decision, three rounds.
115-Pound Class—Harry Levy, Seward Gymnasium, defeated Joe Ferrari, Salem, Crescent-Crescent, defeated decision, three rounds; Schucht Clark House, defeated George Hillman, Golden City A. C., decision, three rounds.

"Jupe Pluve" Hits Hard
All of the leading amateur and big semi-pro games were postponed Sunday on account of the rain. The Weather Man washed away a doubleheader between the Lincoln Giants and the Harrisburg team at the Catholic Protection Oval in the Bronx and did the same thing to the double-header that was scheduled for Dexter Park between the Bushwicks and the Bacharach Giants.
The Lincoln Giants will play a double-header with the famous Camden Club next Sunday.

When Harry Greb entared the ring at Madison Square Garden last Thursday night to perform before about fifteen thousand fans, he did so with the firm intention of fighting Tiger Flowers, but the bout had hardly started before he realized that the Georgia fighter had his number and he reverted to the caveman tactics of which he is a past master.
Greb made up his mind that it was useless to attempt to win from the Tiger by fair means, and with a hard bolled referee who time after time between set teeth hissed to Flowers "Gwan an' fight" it would appear that the cards were again assuming mountainous proportions against the deacon.
Greb choked Flowers. He stuck the finger of his gloves in the Tiger's eye. He wrestled the colored man and even when admonished to break by the referee he appeared to hate to turn loose the arms of the black man which he held in a visse-like grip. Boasting a reputation for foul fighting, Greb could at least shrug his shoulders and tell the world he fought the only way he knew how and none could expect any more from him. More than half the fights he has won in his thirteen years of fighting have been by foul tactics, for he usually had the last word in selecting his referees, albeit he did run into luck by having the Boxing Commission pick a referee who allowed him more leeway than would have the best referee of them all, Mr. Purdy, who officiated in the fight wherein Greb dropped the title to the colored race.
True, the fight as a whole was not a thrilling encounter, the kind one would expect of a championship bout, but the most of the fighting was done, by the champion as Greb did more backing up last Thursday night than he has done in his entire career. Then, too, it

was not the Tiger Flowers of those old Commonwealth days who fought Greb. The jungle beast who slashed, pecked, swung, pruetted and then a thousand and one things that helped to make him the big attraction he is 'in' these parts was apparently tamed by his years of campaling, but at that he had enough to pound Greb and make the former champion of the class look bad.
The crowd at the Garden was inordinately partisan on Thursday night and shared with Greb the desire to win from the Tiger by any means, Greb's foul fighting appealed to the low browed mob, but on two occasions the Tiger almost forgot he was a gentleman and proved that if he saw fit he could more than meet Greb half way with tactics not supposed to be allowed by the Boxing Commission. However, with his natural tendency to fight clean at all times and the thoughts of what would happen to him if he used just one-third the amount of rough stuff that Greb put on him, Walk Miller's fighter slammed the white boy enough to warrant him receiving the decision at the end of his fight.

To Face Challenge of Six Million Negroes Not Members of Church
The "challenge" of more than six million Negroes who are not church members will be faced at the National Convention of Congregational Workers Among Colored People, to be held with Plymouth Church, Detroit, August 31 to September 5.
The Negro church membership in the United States is reported as five million out of a total Negro population estimated today at more than eleven millions.
"Although the six million," according to Rev. Henry H. Proctor, pastor of Nazarene Congregational Church, Brooklyn, and corresponding secretary of the convention, "include infants and children too young to be church members, the majority are adults; the six million exceed by 50 per cent the total Negro population of the United States at the time President Lincoln issued the proclamation of emancipation."

Address Delivered at the World Conference of the Y. M. C. A. at Helsingfors
Because the main objective of this conference is the focusing of the minds and hearts of young men upon Christ, it is of supreme importance to the Negro youth of the world, who have a heritage of faith in Christ passed on to them by those who knew Him intimately. For what brighter page is there in the history of modern Christian experience than that that tells of African slaves in America who without use of money or arms prayed into existence a public conscience that ultimately brought deliverance from hondage?? Just a single illustration of the simple faith to which we are heirs: I stood by the bedside of an aged Negro woman who was suffering from an incurable disease. My final work to her was the expression of a wish that she might soon be better. She looked up with a smile upon her face and said: "Honey, the Lord's been good to me. He's done everything I've asked Him to do. He's helped me to rear my children and grandchildren so that they are all good and useful—in fact, He's been so good to me that I would be ashamed of myself to ask Him to raise me up. No. I am just waiting until He comes." Naive, you say. Yes, but it was just this simple sort of faith that enabled the Negro to survive 250 years of slavery and emerge from it with songs that sounded no not of revenge and breathed no word of hatred.
While it is because of this heritage that Negro youth of Africa and America today are responsive to the call of 'Christ', they are drawn consciously near to Him when in seeking after Him they learn that He is no responder of persons, that He is a friend of the unprivileged and that He has made love of one's fellowman the main test of His discipleship. Such words cause the pulse to beat high with hope. A Master friend has been found. All who have fellowship with Him must think of each other as He thinks of each one. How could it be otherwise? The sad fact faces us, however, that this lofty principle of full brotherly fellowship in Christ across racial lines is yet a largely unrealized ideal. So says the report of preliminary inquiry to this conference.
It is a puzzled Negro youth who turns his eye in窍ing towards Helsingborg tonight. From South Africa he is asking how it is that many Christian leaders either through active advocacy or passive acquiescence give their support to such measures as the Color Bar Bill. He does not understand the Christian conscience that has no word of opposition to restrictions upon land ownership by natives and no strong word of disapproval of the living conditions of native workers in the gold and diamond mines. The Negro of the United States is puzzled about a Christian leadership that has for more than 50 years without serious protest witnessed flasher violations of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution (those protecting citizens in the exercise of the right

of suffrage) while national or sectional conventions are held every year in the interest of the enforcement of the Prohibition Amendment. He further wonders why it is that these same Christian leaders have permitted an anti-lynching bill to fall of passage twice for lack of influential backing. Paradoxical though it may be, this puzzled youth is also an encouraged youth. While in truth he is clearly bewildered at the failure of so many Christians to live up to the brotherhood ideals of Christ, he is not unlucky of the fact that some progress has been made.
In West Africa the native youth is encouraged at the aroused interest in education brought about by the co-operative efforts of Fraser and Aggrey, white in South Africa a silver lining to the cloud of despair is found in the contacts between white and native students made possible through the wise leadership of Max Yergan and Christian white men who have joined hands with him.
In the southern United States signs of hope appear in the holding of joint Christian student conferences in some instances and the sending of fraternal delegates from one conference to the other where the conferences are held separately. In making these departures white students have broken with the traditions of their elders which forbade the breaking of bread with Negroes
But, this encouraged youth, whether he realizes it or not, is also a very needy youth. In his self-consciousness he is liable to be so taken up with problems of adjustment without that he will forget about the need of uplift within. Negro youth are subject to all the temptations that other youth face and with few safeguards. Outside the limited school areas and the territory covered by Max Yergan of the Y. M. C. A. organized play life among African youth is unknown. In spite of the great volume of service rendered by the church, the school and the Y. M. C. A. to Negro youth in the United States, they are many thousands of them yet in the rural districts of the South who are almost totally neglected so far as recreational, social or religious development is concerned. What, then, do Negro youth expect of Helsinki?
1. They are praying that out of Helsinki form shall come such a vision of Christ that delegates themselves will see all men as brothers, and such a baptism of the spirit of Christ as will send men home to work to the end that Christian brotherhood across racial lines may be more and more a living experience.
2. They are praying that the experiments in interracial fellowship already begun in Africa and America may receive the support of Christian associations that they so much deserve and need.
3. They are hoping for strong words in the continuance and strengthening of indigenous leadership in Christian association work among the colored races. They would not, however, have the organization of branches for racial

STEVENS—Mrs. Mattle L., of 17
West 132nd street died Thursday,
August 18, at 9:50 P.M., M., at
the Mountaintop School,
Monroe, N. Y., after an illness
of three days.
WILLIAMS—Attrue Perry, was born October 16, 1894, in the City of Baltimore, Md. Her father was Rev. Dr. Daniel E. Perry, who practiced physician of Charlotte, N. C. Her mother, Mrs. Nellie Perry, died when Attrue was but 16 months old, leaving her in the care of her eldest brother, Nickingham, who cared for her and taught Christian way. She became a Christian at the age of 12 years and a member of the Perkins Square Baptist Church in the pastorate of the Rev. Dr. Frank Perkins, who cared for her of the church choir for three years and teacher in the Sunday school for about five. She was pronounced a devout worker in the church and an ardent Christian. After her high-school years she became a typewriter in the office of the Afro-American Publishing Company. There for 12 years she was diligent, studious, punctual and attentive, and the management expressed many regrets upon the tendering of her resignation.
On February 22, 1922, she was joined in holy martyrship in the Perkins Square Church to Mr. E. William E. Billyish, the contractor of New York City, by the Rev. Dr. Williams, leaving immediately for that metropolis. During the five years of her marriage, she was a devout wife, a home lover, and a good neighbor and friend. During the Fall of 1923 Mr. and Mrs. Williams became members of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, and members of the church choir. They both have been good and earnest workers in this church and their efforts have been very successful by Rev Dr. A. Clayton Powell and members of the congregation.
While in Baltimore on a visit with her relatives last Summer, Mrs. Williams developed a serious illness. She called all her sisters and her mother, and side, relling them that her mother and others were just on the other side waiting for her, and then she sang "Shall We Gather at the River" and "Give Me That God in His all wise armor" but God in his all wise armor see it take to take her then and after recovering, she enjoyed fair health until last Wednesday morning, when she departed this life about 10:30, after an illness that required favorite hymns of hers were "Blest Be the Tie That Birds" and "Tell Mother I'll Be There."
She leaves behind to mourn their loss a loving husband, two sisters, two brothers, two nephews, two brothers-in-law and a host of other relatives and friends.
She is gone but not forgotten: We shall meet her some sweet dance. We shall meet her in the morning. When the mists have rolled away.
In Memoriam
BANNISTER—In loving memory of my darling mother. Mrs. Lucy Bannister, who departed this life August 25, 1922.
In my heart memory lingers.
Sweetly tender, fond and true.
There is not a day, dear mother,
That I do not think of you.
Daughter, Nelly Bannister.
JACKSON—Rosalie B. In fond memory of my darling mother, who passed away three years ago, August 23, 1923.
The sea was calm, the sky was clear.
When we put out to sea;
You were the pilot, mother, dear,
And steered the ship for me.
But, now that you have left the wheel.
O! how the tempests roar;
I falter at the thundered
And need you more and more.
Pray, let thy spirit ever be
My beacon light, my guiding star.
By her devoted daughter. Corinne B. Watson.
Card of Thanks
I wish to thank the many friends for their beautiful floral and sympathetic expressions to the late Charles Molsay.

CONCLUDING CHAPTER
AURA‘'S mind was in a whirl as the train carried
L her away from Sing Sing. The sudden inspiration
| Ad nat had come to her at the mention of Bonita
Padilla leit her breathless. She could not reason out her
saxpicion, but at least she was resolved to act upon it.
Mil she needed was one link to complete the chain. As
che sat lookng thoughtfully out of the car window ‘the
jace vf Bonita came vividly before her.
Ronita Padilla had been Laura’s favorite Sunday School
“yapil. She was a motherless, half Spanish child, who had
tome to New York with Juan Padilla, her father. She
was a beautiful child of thirteen or fourteen, with an
vange-tinted skin as clear as a baby’s, large dark eyes,
and luxuriant hair that. shone like curls or black silk,
She was her father’s heart.
Vividly Laura recalled the day she had saved Bonita’s
lie. The child of late had been dull at Sunday School;
her eyes were clouded and she seemed to have lost in-
terest in everything. Laura had become worried about
her, and when she failed to come to Sunday School for
two weeks Laura decided to go and see what was the
matter.
So one day after office hours she set out to sce the
linle girl, As she approached the apartment house in
which Bonita lived she saw a large van in the street.
‘Ihtee husky men were at the rear of the van. heaving
away at a great rope; and far above them at the fourth
or fiith story a piano swung, slowly turning, touching the
wall and rebounding.
Laura stood at the edge of the safety zone, wondering
at the ponderous strength of the workmen. Suddenly one
of them shouted, Laura looked upward and gasped in
torror. Slowly but plainly the piano was sliding out of
the rope which held it.
“My God! My God!” cried the men.
‘The piano butted into the wall, then slid iree and
piunged clumsily downward. As fate would have it, just
jn that instant 2 young girl came out of the house and
down the steps. In the swift glimpse she caught of the
gis face, Laura saw that the child did not observe what
was going on.
“Bonita!”
Laura forgot her caution and darted forward. She
fad no time to seize the child, she simply hurled her-
celi against her, knocking her aside. Instantly a great

TARTING at the age of fiiteen, a little more
than 19 years ago, Paul E. Johnson has become
one of the largest manufacturers of therapeutic
lamps in the world. His line includes incandescent,
‘carbon and special heat or infra-red lamps, made in
different types and styles. The year 1925 showed cash
receipts of $139,563.85.
‘This indomitable Georgia boy has succeeded in the
face of the stiffest opposition, the prejudiced competi~
tion of big white interests in a field which has been
thought to be the special prerogative of the white race.
Neiswanger has written “Therapeutic light is indi-
cated in more classes of cases, requires less technical
taining to properly apply. will do more good with the
least liability to harm than anything I know of.”
_A jew months ago the American Medical Asso-
cation went on record as endorsing light, therapy.
Physiclans all over the world have acclaimed the
value of light in relieving pain, for the treatment of
“teberculosis, ulcers, amenia and nervousness. John-
son's lamps are also used in the industrial field. Sears-
| Roebuck & Company has installed them in its. women’s
test rooms, finding that the use of them adds thou-
sends of unit hours to the time of the female em~
plorecs. The lamps are used for aging woods, cur-
. RY tobacco, tanning leather, making patent leather,
killing germs that formerly prevented the storage of
tobacco, sterilizing water, testing dyes, detecting
fraudulent art, raised securities, bleaching. etc.
_Of course, it might have been expected that when
this young colored man began to exploit this mar-
ket he should have met_the studied. obstinate re-
sisance of the General Electric Company. the only
manufacturer in America of quartz burners Johnson
needed in his products. He fought this company for
years until he finally outwitted them by inventing 2
hetter substitute. He now makes lamps that give the
energy desired from quartz burners and give it in
superior form.
Iiis products find wide sale in America, especially
among physicians located in the South (strangely
snough), and are in use in the health department of

the pavement from under her and hot knives seemed to
stab her in the face and hands. $he staggered and
fainted,
Laura came to in the arms of a woman, with a crowd
pressing round her and a voice shouting jrantically in
Spanish. A woman wes dabbing her face with a fast-
reddening handkerchief. Little Bonita, unscratched, ran
up to her crying:
“Oh. Miss Stevens, Miss Stevens, you saved me!”
A lean, Spanish-looking man in shirt sleeves came
down the steps and snatched Bonita to his breast. The
neghbors crowded upon him telling him what had hap-
pened. Women helped Laura into the house. Someone
had summoned a doctor, who now rushed ‘into the
house, and in a moment Laura was in his charge.
The lean Spaniard who had caught Bonita to his
breast strode up and down, waving his arms. As soon
as the doctor allowed him to he knelt at Laura’s ject.
“Gh, Mees Stevens, you saved my child, my Bonita!
You, her Sonny School “teacher, an’ now you save her
lifet I do anything, I geef my own life for you—Juan
Padilla, 1 do promise.”
When the doctor finally said that Laura could go
home, Juan Padilla rushed out and got a taxicab. He
and Bonita went with her, expostulating all the way.
Soon afterward Bonita died.
All of it came back to Laura now, as her train drew
near the city. She got off at the uptown station, and with
pounding heart she went straight to the address of Juan
Padilla, the house where she had saved Bonita’s life.
Juan Padilla was not at home and no one knew just
where he worked. He was a cigarmaker, but ny one
knew where. Laura tured away. heart sick, and left the
house. But before she was out of the block she heard
her name called.
“Mees Stevens!”
“Tuan Padilla!” she exclaimed, turning.
‘The man who approached her was Ican and stoop-
shouldered, his face was bony and his cheeks were. dented
as if with disease. His eyes were feverish.
“But you look ill, Mr. Padilla.”
“Yes, Mees Stevens, ze doctor he say consumption.
Ts ees no consumption, it ees my Bonita, my angel. You
know her, you save her life. Then she die. She dic, so
I cannot live much more.”
“Yes, she was 2 lovely child,” agreed Laura, wonder-

“You—you—” gasped Padilla, and broke into a racking
cough, so violent that’ he had to lean against a railing.
“Zee man you love—ze—”"
Before Laura could say another word he rushed away.
coughing as he went. He paid no ‘attention as she called
after him. 3
Laura looked after him, trying to fathom his puzzling
action. Then she hurried after him, but before she could
overtake him he disappeared. She left the block and
went home with a busy mind.
During the next two days she tried time and again to
find Juan Padilla.. He was never at home. She went to
all the cigar-making places, but could not find the one
where he worked. _More-than ever shé was. convinced
that she was on the right track. She went to Rev.
Worthley‘and told him what she suspected.
“It- sounds: reasonable.”- he told her, “and. seems. to
jit the facts.” We must certainly find this man.”
But Juan Padilla’ was not to be. found, and Sunday
came. ‘It -was to be the last Sunday in Nick Nelson's
life. ‘Laura went up to Sing Sing to see Dick. She found
him pale and resigned. In af agony of anxiety she returned
home, and in the evening she went to church.
The church was crowded, for this Sunday was the
beginning of an anniversary week. The atmosphere of
the church, the prayers, the coit chanting of the choir
did. much 10° soothe Laura, and less than ever could. she
believe that God would let Dick Nelson die.
Rev. Worthley. with Dick's impending fate weighing
on his mind. preached more eloquently than: ever. He
spoke of sin and suffering, of the sorrows of the world in
which the innocent often had to bear the rightful burdens
of the guilty. At. the end of the services he called upon
these not yet within the fold to come to the altar and
ive themselves to God.

Hardly were the words out of his mouth when a voice
called out from the rear of the church.
““Jesu—Maria {”
‘A man leaped irom a pew and reeled up the aisle, his
face twitching horribly. He fell at the altar and grasped
the rail. -
“Juan Padilla!” cried aura. .
Padilla dragged himself up and faced the congregation.
“My child!” he eried. “My Bonita—she SR to me—
in heaven—she say, ‘Let not Dick Nelson die! Jesu Maria,
J—Juan Padilla—I keel Jeem Brocker!”
“The people sat back, aghast. Rev Worthley leaned
over and touched Padilla on the shoulder, but Padilla went
on as if talking to himseli.
“My Bonita, my pretty. baby, she pass‘ by Brocker’s
cabaret to school. Zces: man he see her, he geef “her
candy and tell her she never tell nobody. He get her in
hees place* he geef her dreenk. She say she go to school.
‘when she not go, she go hees place teel school let out.
Zen one time, my Bonita, she get seeck. I am affright—-

“My Bonita’ she get Seeck and seeck. Zen she know

Two weeks later Dick Nelson was seated in Laura's
parlor. He had been freed. Juan Padilla was dying in a
prison hospital, Dick and Laura did not say much;
they were clasped silently in each other's arms, not in
the rapturous embrace of lovers, but in thanks to God.

of the building. In_ the

show room, stock, assem-
bly and shipping rooms.
In July. 1907, Johnson
started in with Charles H.
Killough as an_ office
and porter at S$ a weck.
Kitlough’s business was
the sale of new and sec-
ond-hand furniture and in-
struments for physicians’
use. When he left Kil-
lough five years later he
had charge of* the ship-
ping room. repair work,
installation of new equip-
ment and sold goods when-
ever the manager was out
to lunch, out.of town, on
vacation, or when he was
busy with another cus-
tomer. That's the way
Johnson learned the game.
He did not go to school.
but pinched his knowledge
during an unsuspected ap-
prenticeship.
Even in those days his
color, or race, worked
against. him, and bred
within him the desire to
make good ior himself in
the line. or profession, he
was learning. The factory
which bears his. name to-
day is the fruit of that
carly desire. Leaders have
been telling Negroes that
they must get out of the
consuming class into the
class which produces. John-
son has done that, He is
exploiting against the best
of competition a field which
is measured in millions of
dollars. His race has known
little of him, because his
great job has been out in
the world of many colors.
but what he has done has
added to the prestige of
the Negro in many places
where most Negroes fail
to reach.

There were no white crafts-
men in New Orleans at the time
when tho best of the iron was
‘rought. In most cases. if a
southern white man wanted a
house built, he consulted a Ne
s1o workman about the place end
about the bullding of the strao-
ture. If he wanted a suit of
clothes he went to a Negro tai-

of the came race; because all

IN this country divorce is on the increase, and we have reached the place where we. of Christian (F) America have more divorces than in pagan Japan, and where a divorce can be secured on almost any grounds. Lack of uniformity in our state laws governing divorce aids and abets in this work of undermining our marriage institution; collusion between parties to divorce and guilty co-operation of unprincipled judiciary representatives are also responsible for many divorces.
The conditions are deplorable considered from any possible point of view, but there is no phase of it more deplorable and more far-reaching in its destructive influence than that which relates to the status and the interests of the children of divorced parents.
When parents are divorced each will try to justify the action in the estimate of the children, and this means loss of confidence in and respect for the parent believed to be responsible for the breach.
Few fathers, under these conditions, do their duty toward their children, and the mothers being unable to provide for their education, they lack advantages and suffer handicaps as the result; and oftentimes these children are lacking in the plain necessities of life, are undernourished and poorly clad, resulting in retarded physical growth.
Another thing, it is almost certain that such children will be lacking in ethical training. This grows out of the fact that generally the children are left to the care of the mother, and since she cannot work for their support, and at the same time remain at home and attend to their rearing, this part is usually neglected to her sorrow and their detriment.
When inclined to separate, parents should remember that the children are not responsible for their existence, and that the parents are; that each selected the other as the parent of their children; and that these incontrovertible facts place on both of them the responsibility for the children's well-being.
Finally, if such children be neglected, handicapped or finally wrecked, when their parents look on the work of their own hands and remember that by some impulsive action, for sake of personal advantages or as the result of some misdirected emotion, they have ruined the lives of their own children, they cannot escape regrets and remorse.
CARTHAGE MUST BE DESTROYED
UNDER Hamilchar and Hanibald the great Carthaginian kingdom prospered; a rivaled Rome and threatened supremacy over it; then was enunciated the envious and inequitable flat, "Carthage must be destroyed." The Roman youth grew up with the conviction that the prosperity and the very perpetuity of Rome depended upon the destruction of Carthage, her rival, and that it would be a great honor and a superior deed of patriotism to contribute toward the destruction of Carthage.
In a similar spirit, it is said, it was installed into the minds of the German youths that the interests and the perpetuity of Germany demanded and justified the destruction of her rivals, especially France, and they were inspired to covet the honor of participation in this work of destruction.
In just the same way, today, individuals and aggregations of individuals act on the theory that they are justifiable in the destruction of the interests of their rivals in order to advance their own interests. These efforts may not be to demolish buildings erected by their rivals, but if they are directed toward the destruction their interests, their credit and their reputation, the principle is the same—and the guilt is the same.
If Carthage, by intrepid courage, could subdue Rome, by dint of effort and willing sacrifice outstrip her in wealth or surpass her in achievement and prestige, it was her indisputable right to do so. If Rome could not honestly and honorably retain supremacy over her rival, she had not the right to plan and seek her destruction.
In like manner an individual, a nation, a race, has a right to aspire to leadership, to supremacy, and to attain to these by any methods which are fair, but to take advantage, plot destruction of the interests of a rival or competitor is unfair and manifestly inequitable.

You might say, of course, I could not save a dollar if I did not first earn it, but do you realize that every dollar which you are compelled to spend, if you could devise some means whereby another dollar is an old spending that dollar, it would be like earning another dollar.
Come to Jamaica—an ideal Home Town
For instance, you pay $65 per month for a six-room flat; now suppose you could devise a plan by which you could pay the same $65 monthly and have the landlord sign an agreement to deposit $53.33 in the bank in your name every month. Wouldn't you call yourself lucky!

Negro Business
Negro Business
THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE, organized by Booker T. Washington, has just concluded its annual convention in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, and this year, as in previous years, New York, seemingly, had but little to offer on the altar of commercial progress. Many reasons may be advanced to account for this:
FIRST, and foremost, Negro business enterprises do not exist in New York City in the same sense that they exist in other sections of the country. Here a Negro may engage in almost any business under the sun, but if he conducts a "Negro Business" his chances for success are very slim. To succeed in commercial undertakings in New York the co-operation of other persons engaged in the same line of business and a thorough knowledge of the particular undertakings are vitally necessary. The odds are against the man of small capital, no matter what his color. Economic conditions are always acute and little or no patronage comes to a Negro in business solely because he is a Negro. Prices and service of competitors must be met and equalled.
TAKE THE MATTER of banks, the absence for which Harlem is conspicuous, considering that the Negro population here is larger than that of any other city in the country, and of which other cities with smaller populations boast. Yet we see no reason to despair, for Harlem in time is sure to have a bank conducted by Negroes, but you can bet your bottom dollar that it will not be a Negro bank in the popular sense of the word. The same requirements, the same rigid rules and regulations, the same security and type of directors and officers will govern it that govern other financial institutions of the state. It must be as safe as other banks and seek to render its depositors as good, if not, better, service than that rendered by existing financial institutions. Either this or it will be doomed to failure.
IN MANY OTHER CITIES, especially those of the South, no bid is made whatever for Negro patronage by cigar, ice cream, shoe and clothing stores; by theatres, restaurants, insurance companies and the like; whereas in New York City keen competition must be met in all these lines of endeavor. Barber shops and hairdressing parlors are the only two enterprises Negroes may conduct in New York without having to meet white competition in the same lines. The true status of the Negro in business is found here where sentiment is lacking and where many obstacles in the way of commercial progress must be overcome.

FIFTY OF VIRGINIA'S "first family" heads invaded the Wythe County Jail last Sunday morning at the point of guns and lynched a man accused of a crime right in his cell. The body of the victim was then tied to the rear of an automobile and dragged nine miles to the home of one of his accusers, where it was strung up and used as a target. THE OLD FAMILIAR investigation is now under way to determine how and by whom the man met his death. The investigators themselves may have been leaders of the mob, so it is needless to expect that anything will be done about it.
THE FEDERAL Government, if it had any regard for the rights and lives of its citizens and subjects, could do something about it, but it holds to the belief that lynching is a State's Right.
BEFORE he was put to death in the electric chair last Thursday, William Hoyer is said to have ordered a sumptuous meal of Long Island duck, peas, olives, rice, tomato salad, strawberry shortcake, ice cream, soda, cigars and cigarettes. This is what might be called preparedness, but we must confess that we do not know where a man could be going that such extensive preparations would have to be made.
EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES
A Hero in Chicago
(From the Chicago Whip.)
When the murderers, cut-throats, robbers and highwaymen sought to break out of the Cook County Jail in Chicago last week their plans were frustrated by the bravery and cool nerve of Harry Brown, a jail guard. Brown is a member of the black race and his splendid exhibition of courage and valor stands in bold relief to the other disgusting spectacles visible to the eyes of the Commonwealth when they peer behind the sinister prison bars.
Not long ago this city was started to learn of the pollution and corruption in the county jail. Good citizens were shocked to know that liquor had been openly sold to the prisoners by the jail guards, that murderers have been granted unheard of liberty and license and in short a system of inefficiency was uncovered of such grave proportions that a sitting judge of the Criminal Court found it necessary to appoint a committee of public citizens to make a study of these conditions. While these investigations are going on the imprisoned criminals show their contempt for such proceedings by sawing themselves out of their cells, by overpowering the first guards that they chance upon, only to find themselves conquered and cowered by the iron nerve, the unfinishing sense of duty and the fearlessness of Harry Brown, the man of black.
If the county jail had been commandeered by men like Brown the law would be more respected, criminals would regard their incarceration more seriously and the outside world would not be in position to cast aspersions and impugn the integrity and honor of the jail officials, but Brown is a black man. His people are not judged by their intrinsic value and sterling worth, they are victimized by a system that permits prisoners to be held in prison without the act of heroism occurred. His people are victimized by a system that indirectly denies to them free ingress and egress between the separate states, that impliedly refuses to them the freedom of the municipal bathing beaches and denies them representation on the Board of Education. Harry Brown's act is an unanswerable argument against such ostracization and discrimination. His valor is a challenge to the doctrine of Nordic supremacy and is a fine reminder to Chicago and the world that the heroism shown by the black people at Flanders Field at Hunger Park on Hill Hill Carrival at Flanders Field and on No-Man's Land cannot forever be repulsed and disregarded. Such bravery has inscribed itself in letters of blood that emblazon the pages of the history of this nation.
A white guard at the county jail recently appeared in the Criminal Court ostensibly drunk and when questioned about the laxity of discipline and the privileges granted the criminals he threatened to "knock the judge loose from his trousers." The jail is thus stigmatized by such samples of Nordic protection. The entire city is overrun by white gangsters and hoodlums who defy constituted authority, who flout the laws and terrorize the entire Commonwealth. While this is going on Harry Brown stands the supreme test of duty. imperils his life and grimly upholds the civic honor of Chicago.
Tomorrow Harry Brown probably will be denied service in a Chicago restaurant, he no doubt will be insulted if he seeks to buy a new home, he will be booted, jeered and utterly routed if he puts in his application for superintendent of the county jail, he has earned all of these things and has proven his worth. He is a proud bearer of life and honor are to be found beneath awaity skins.
Chicago should "render unto Caesar the things that belong to Caesar." It should disregard the foolish doctrines of "social supremacy" it should comprehend the theory of universal brotherhood and give the black man his place in the sun. After all Chicago's black citizens are contributing a full quota to the honor and glory of this wonderful city. All that they ask for is full justice and a square deal. Harry Brown desires no more.
"Crisis" Publishes First Article in Survey of Negro Education
THE September number of The Crisis Magazine, published today, contains the first article in the survey of Negro common schools, undertaken in virtue of an appropriations of $5,000 for this purpose by the American Fund for Public Service, known as the Garland Fund. The first article, which covers the State of Georgia, shows that the average amount expended yearly on each white child in the State is $36.29, and the average amount on each Negro child is $4.59. Although Negro children form 43 percent of the children of school age, only 9 per cent of the educational funds are spent on them, and 91 per cent on the white children.
The survey contains a history of education for Negroes in Georgia, a summary of school laws affecting colored children, and tabulations of attendance, expenditures, value of school property, libraries, etc.
It is shown that there are 115 library-colored schools as against 1,417 for white, and that the white libraries contained 269,128 books, as against 12,188 books in the colored.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 7—This "City of Magnificent Distances," as laid out more than a century ago by Major L'Enfant and his assistant, Benjamin Banneker, is the home of many interesting groups.
Composed of men and women of outstanding character and fitness, whose names in many instances are seldom mentioned even within the District, to say nothing of the wide world beyond. these groups are quietly rendering services of such incalculable value to humanity in general as to entitle them to the thanks and gratitude of mankind.
How many people can name the chairman and members of the Federal Reserve Board? Not many, and yet this small group controls the financial destinies of the American people. It is, however, but one of the groups I have in mind, a few of the others are the Federal Trade Commission, the Board of Tax Appeals, Fourth Section of Interstate Commerce Commission, not to consider at all the Commission itself, the Shipping Board and—the Howard University Faculty of Law.

It is of the personnel of this last named group that I wish to tell a few things. I have called this group "A Splendid Company." That the phrase is not ill chosen what follows should suffice to prove.
F. W. Booth.
"Friend, servant, teacher, learned in the law, and judge among men, bearer of burdens and sharer of joys, Fenton Witlock Booth. By virtue of the authority in me vested by the Board of Trustees of Howard University, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws."
In the presence of more than 2,000 assembled at the Commencement on June 5, 1925, the words quoted above were addressed by President J. Stanley Durkee to Justice Fenton W. Booth, of the United States Court of Claims, Dean of the Howard University Faculty of Law. Beautiful as they are, however, these words afford a totally inadequate picture of Dean Booth.
"Jurist of the facile pen" whose decisions, seldom reversed by the Supreme Court of the United States, have more than once been complimented by that august tribunal for the clarity and elegance of their style, Judge Booth has not been content to wear the ermine for 21 years, but has been a teacher and an arbiter among men as well. While serving as Dean of the Y. M. C. A. Law School, whence he was called to Howard University, Judge Booth was drafted to arbitrate the bitter controversy between the printing trades craftsmen and the boss printers in this District. He was the unanimous choice of both sides. His decision against them was a sore disappointment to the union men, but after reading the opinion which preceded the decision, there was not a man among them but freely conceded the absolute justness of the verdict. Judge Booth offers courses in Wills and Probate Law, Federal Procedure

In Atlanta, it is reported, 5,641 children are left "without a seat or a desk at which to study." In Monroe County colored teachers get $13 a month and in Jones County at a school in the county is $22 a month. "Students are taken out of school during peach season. This was ordered by the whites."
The summary of school conditions in Georgia, as investigated by The Crisis, includes the following statements: "The data collected from counties scattered over the State shows that in 15 counties the schools run less than six months, which is the legal requirement. The churches and lodgerooms which are used for Negro schools are chiefly old, dilapidated buildings, unfit for teaching purposes. In some cases they have no means of getting light; often there are no breaks. In some counties there is not a single school building for colored children. The fact that there is great hostility towards Negro education is attested by the burning of schools in several sections."

The Removal of the Tonsils
THE tonsils, as a diseased and enlarged structure, are a very common condition. When it is thus enlarged and diseased it becomes a source of infection to the body in general. This is no theory. It is an accepted fact. The removal of diseased and enlarged tonsils is not to be undertaken, however, by every physician. Because of many possible complications, I feel that such an operation is of major importance, and should be performed only
Urban League Reports on Industry for July
Reports covering a wide area tell of two outstanding industrial developments among Negroes during July. One is the unusual demand for workers in the building trades, and the other the large number of laborers added to municipal payrolls. Chicago reported a shortage of plasterers and brick-masons and in several North Carolina cities the demand was so urgent that Negro artisans found employment where they had been denied it regularly. In Baltimore and Lexington, Kentucky, colored contractors used more than the customary number of men, and in Albany, Georgia, whose building program is the largest in the State, save Atlanta's and Savannah's, it is estimated that more than half of the skilled and unskilled tasks
A risk to the patient is taken when any and every physician operates on a case of diseased and enlarged tonsils.
I have noticed that recently people are refusing more and more to be operated on for diseased tonsils. Many people, I believe, have in their experience had results from tonsil operations. Poor work in the removal of the tonsils by physicians not skilled in this particular operation is causing them to question the efficaciousness of this operation.
To my mind the operation is necessary and, when properly

Prominent among the cities which showed gains in municipal employment is Detroit where, because of additions during July, there are upwards of 2,000 Negroes paving and improving streets and collecting garbage. Tulsa added to its Negro employees in the water and street departments, and Jersey City added Negroes to its street-paving gans. In San Antonio colored janitors and matrons went to work in the new million dollar city auditorium.
Other noteworthy instances were reported from the following cities:

Kansas City, Mo.-lived carriers and building laborers, of whom 90 per cent are colored, have been idle during the carpenters' strike. The local union to which these men belong has one of the largest colored memberships in the country.
Pine Bluff, Ark.-In the new Nash automobile body plant 49 Negroes went to work at unskilled operations.
Los Angeles—The industrial problems of the city's largest Negro population attracted much attention during July. The Council of Social Agencies ordered a city-wide survey of industry among Negroes.
Grand Rapids, Mich.-Here, too, the rapidly increasing Negro population was discussed and a survey of the working and living conditions was considered.
Milwaukee—There was a decided movement into this city from Chicago and other points in the middle West. Twenty-five families are known to have entered the city in two weeks from the State of Iowa. During the month three foundries, employing 325 Negroes, shut down temporarily and the packing industry cut down to an average of three and a half days a week.
Cleveland—For the first time a rapid transit company gave employment to colored men as track workers.
Brooklyn—Two companies reported dissatisfaction with its colored help because of irregularity in attendance and threat of change in white workers. A group of deposed colored workers replaced the inefficient ones in one of the factories, and for the time being the threatened change has been averted.

Reasons when not to operate on the tonsils is of prime importance. The "bleeder," a person with advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, cardiac disease, kidney disease, diabetes, the hysterical patient with imaginative throat troubles, the very old patient, and persons suffering from a "complex of fear." These are the conditions requiring some other mode of treatment, such as Roentgen-Ray or X-Ray exposure.

Educators Tell of Progress in South
Drs. Shaw and Davage Say Attitude Has Now Changed
(Preston News Service.)
LOS ANGELES, Calif., Aug. 20.
The attitude of the old South toward the education of Negroes has changed completely in the last quarter century, according to Dr. J. Beverly F. Shaw of Meridian, Miss., president of Haven Teachers' College.
Dr. Shaw, who with Dr. M. S. Davage, president of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., is spending a vacation in Los Angeles, asserted that more tolerance is being shown toward the Negro today
"The South is doing more to educate the Negro than ever before," said Shaw. "They formerly thought that an educated black man was a menace. They have come to realize, however, that an educated Negro is an asset instead of a menace." According to the two educators this change of feeling was largely brought about through the meetings held by the interracial committees, who hold periodical conferences attended by leading citizens of the white and black races. Dr. Davage has been a member of the interracial committee of Atlanta for a number of years, he announced. Harve Teachers College, headed by Dr. Davage, is operated by the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which likewise controls the University of Southern California. He stated that Mississippi, which contains a large colored population, is making rapid advancement in requirements for teachers.
