ACTOR DIES FROM BLOWS OF CENTRAL PARK OFFICER
THE beloved "Rudy" Valentino and the learned Dr. Elliott have given America their last farewell. These two idols, one of Italian and one of American origin, set out upon the open sea of Death, leaving but memories of their advent. Forty years ago naught but the demise of a General Grant or a Lincoln would have bestirred worshipping throngs such as besieged Valentino's bier. Had ex-President Elliott died four decades back his, and not Valentino's, name would have adorned the headlines of the American daily press.
Today, though, cries or "The Sheik is dead" outsang the lamentations for the creator of the Harvard classics. Today, what does it matter if a man who has devoted his lifetime to the education of American youth is borne to the grave, as compared with another who has merely devoted a few hours to the delectation of seekers of rabid screen narration—to human shock absorbers of tales which would make Thackery or Shakespeare turn over in their graves. The one built foundations, while the other created fantasies of doubtful art and fables. The one made men of children, while the other made children of men. Yet America weeps for one and merely cites sympathy for the other. What is the state of human America today? Is it of blood or of sand, of clay or of marble? What is America's measure of homage today?
Ten thousand mourners have worshipped at the shrine of Valentino's screen art to every one who has read a single volume of the "five-foot shelf." Yet one is a martyred hero, while the other is merely a good man departed.
Thus the rank and file of America mourns over the objective of a clicking camera, while a few bereaved will assuage their grief over the builder of ideals. It is just beyond the pale of the first group that the mob abides.

FINLEY WILSON'S "STEAM ROLLER" FLATTENS PACE
George E. Bates Re-elected Grand Secretary by 590 to 38 Votes --- James T. Carter to Serve Another Term as Grand Treasurer --- Convention Spectacular
By J. A. ROGERS
CLEVELAND, O.-By in the twenty-seventh annual Elli a close here Saturday, was the Harry Pace, Past Grand Exx of George E. Bates of Newark well as that of James T. Can Treasurer, on the ground of and failure to give preference two of the four and a half da famous dispute lasted, and whi cleared amid scenes of wildess self so flattened by the Wilson face he demanded that the elemous. Of 590 delegates up to had voted for Pace, who was diately after came the nomina elected by acclamation.
The C Pace's charges against H gave in the past two years p a white firm and only $250 t he has been in office too long and that as a good brother give someone else a chance to date $25,000 in salary, whi he alleges that the Grand Sec down job, as Bates works Railroad.
CLEVELAND, O.—By far the most important event in the twenty-seventh annual Elks' convention, which came to a close here Saturday, was the three-cornered fight, in which Harry Pace, Past Grand Exalted Ruler, sought the defeat of George E. Bates of Newark, N. J., Grand Secretary, as well as that of James T. Carter of Richmond, Va., Grand Treasurer, on the ground of mismanagement, inefficiency, and failure to give preference to colored enterprises. For two of the four and a half days of actual session this now famous dispute lasted, and when the smoke of battle finally cleared amid scenes of wildest excitement. Pace found himself so flattened by the Wilson steam-roller that to save his face he demanded that the election of Bates be made unanimous. Of 500 delegates up to this period only thirty-eight had voted for Pace, who was seeking Bates' post. Immediately after came the nomination of Carter, and he was re-elected by acclamation.
The Charges
Pace's charges against Bates, in brief, were that he gave in the past two years printing amounting to S7,712 to a white firm and only S250 to a colored one; further, that he has been in office too long—this is his sixteenth term—and that as a good brother Elk he ought to step out and give someone else a chance; also, that Bates has drawn to date S25,000 in salary, which is, he says, too much, since he alleges that the Grand Secretaryship now is really a sundown job, as Bates works by day for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The main charge against Carter was that of depositing $50,000 of the funds with white banks, at a low rate of interest, and only $10,000 with colored ones, at a high rate. Bates, in his defense, sald that he had given the printing to the white firm, because of lower rates; while Carter replied that in depositing the funds of the order he had only followed the instructions of the grand Lodge; further, that fully two-thirds of the funds were now in colored banks.
Pace further insisted that the auditing had been irregular in many instances, and that one sum of $753, notably, had not been accounted for. The funds, he also declared, should be invested in first mortgages with struggling lodges trying to buy their homes.
On the other hand, friends of Bates insisted that Finley Wilson was in favor of Pace, and that Bates won on sheer popularity and good service.
Eight Against Wilson.
Less spectacular but equally determined was the attempt of a group of insurgents led by Magistrate Edward Henry of Philadelphia to get the scalp of the Grand Exalted Ruler, but here, also, the Wilson machine rose to the occasion, and the Philadelphia judge got a scant vote of 200 out of a possible thousand, sweeping Finley into office for the fifth time.
Magistrate Henry, in his open air campaigns, attacked Wilson as "a czar," who had been using the order "to further his own ends," insisted that Wilson "was intoxicated with power," and asked the brothers to Free Elkdom from "this octopus."
This statement, by the way, found little acceptance. If Wilson is what his opponents call him then he has certainly mastered the Shakespearean formula of mask-
ing his designs in smiles and affability: he is possessed of an unusually winning personality, which has made him very popular both inside and outside of Elkdom. Besides he has accomplished much in his four years of office: the membership and the number of lodges have been more than trebled, while the funds, in the treasury have been increased from $39,000 to $100,000.
To an outsider an Elks' convention has all the earmarks of a political convention. There is the same atmosphere of intrigue, the same bitter jockeying for office, the same faithful herd-like masses—the term herd is appropriate here—shouting uncritically for the few and the same charges and counter-charges, most of them frothy, melting into air after election. Rumors of immorality, for instance, were being freely circulated against Bates, charges of which Pace declared himself ignorant, and which the convention refused to consider. Like the matter of President Harding's supposed Negro ancestry being broadcasted on the eve of the election, both friend and foe appeared to be shocked at the charge against Bates, yet it was certainly started in the interest of someone.
A few blocks away the Daughter Elks held their convention. This, while not so stormy, was more successful so far as insurgency was concerned: Mrs. Ela Berry of Chicago succeeded in deposing Mrs. Laura E. Williams of New York, former grand daughter ruler. The number of delegates to both conventions, the visiting Elks and other visitors were estimated at fifty thousand, and came from (Continued on Page 7.)

NEGRO DEMOCRATIC LEADER SAYS MAN UNDER ARREST CHARGED WITH LARCENY IS NOT RELATED TO HIM
Magistrate Holds McKinley Banks and His Companion Without Bail — Charged With Snatching Money From Fruit Vender's Till
McKinley Banks, an ex-convict, was held without bail by Magistrate Edward Weil in the Washington Heights Court Monday when the prisoner was rearraigned on a charge of petty larceny. William Banks, Negro Democratic leader in the 19th A. D., denied last week that the man under arrest is his brother. The prisoner is accused by Frank Reneri, an aged fruit dealer, 465 Lenox avenue, of acting in concert with Eugene Fernandez, 65 West 135th street, and snatching $5.50 from his cash drawer.
EXTRA 15 BREAK JAIL IN KENTUCKY
WINCHESTER, Ky., Aug. 30.—Fifteen prisoners were reported to have escaped in a jail delivery here today. The men sawed the bars in a window on the ground floor. They fled between 2 and 3 a. m., it was said. Three white men were among the fugitives, one of whom had been sentenced to die for attacking an orphan girl. The delivery emptied the local jail. Two of the prisoners, Andrew Bennett and Will Walker, both colored, were captured later while walking the railroad tracks near here.
WHITE MAN LYNCHED IN GEORGIA
WAYCROSS, Ga., Aug. 30.—Dave Wright, white, of Douglas, Ga., was taken from the Coffee County jail today and lynched. He was accused of killing Mrs. Sophie Rollins on Saturday night. Sheriff Tanner said he was overpowered by twenty-five white men and the keys were taken from him.
When Banks was arrested last week he is said by the police to have claimed relationship with the Democratic leader as his brother. Upon this report and other information that tended to verify the statement, it was published in The
Amsterdam News as a fact last week.
A reporter was able to reach the Democratic leader later in the

Weston Hopes to Win Back U. N. I. A. Members
To gain the support of former members alienated by the tactics of Marcus Garvey, is the task George A. Weston, newly elected president general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, has set for himself.
Weston announced that the followers of Garvey had been entirely defeated during the sessions of the convention held last month.
"Unfortunately," Weston said, "the public has up to now seen only Garvey and knows little, if anything, of the organization he has so gravely misrepresented. The organization is faced with the immediate task of setting its house in order and re-establishing itself in the esteem and respect of the world."
Garvey is confined in Atlanta prison, but nevertheless has continued to direct the association through his followers. They have established a new organization.
Case of Cops Who Beat Man Put Off
Complaint of Levi Jacobs and His Wife to Be Heard Frdiday
In order to have all the officers present who were in the room with Levi Emanuel Jacobs and his wife, 57 West 129th street, on the night he was arrested, the hearing of charges against the plainclothes policemen he says beat him was postponed until Friday morning at 10.30, when the couple appeared in the Sixth Division Headquarters, 229 West 123d street, Tuesday morning.
According to Jacobs, he was beaten with blackjacks by plainclothes policemen when he was taken to the West 123d street station on a charge of assaulting a policeman. The complaint was dismissed four days later by Magistrate Flood in the Washington Heights Court.
Represented by Attorney Arthur A. Madison, with offices at 202 West 135th street, the couple made a complaint of their treatment to Mayor James Walker, who instructed Commissioner of Police George McLaughlin to investigate the matter
Counsellor Madison, speaking for his clients, said that he was anxious to have higher officials institute steps to prevent brutal assaults upon citizens by policemen.
ROOMING HOUSE PROPRIETOR KILLED
Mrs. Ollie Brown, 28 years old, proprietor of a rooming house at 33 Creeland avenue, Passalc, was found murdered in bed Monday. Passalc police believe robbery was the motive for the crime, as more than $200 which the woman had in cash in her room was missing. She had been shot to death, the police said, and a revolver with one shot fired was found under the bed.
Corrections and Inaccuracies
An afternoon musicae, excluding dancing, was the form of entertainment Mrs. Nan Bayliss of 2507 Seventh avenue gave Wednesday in honor of Mr. and Mrs. G. Lee Ratliff of Columbia, S. C., is the way the article on page six of last week's issue should have read.

Mrs. De Forest, mother of the murdered man, was called by telegram from her home in Boston, Mass., and identified her son by his hands as his face was too badly mutilated to be recognizable.
De Forest regained consciousness but his brain had sustained too great a shock and he could give detectives no account of what had happened. The body is now at the Morgue awaiting burial funds.
Higgins was questioned at the station house the morning after the man was found, but denied any connection with the assault. Captain Mason of the Arsenal Station pursued the investigation and on Friday directed the arrest of Higgins on a simple assault charge, as De Forest was still alive.
Higgins was suspended from duty and was arraigned in West Side Court. He was released on bail and on the advice of his counsel refused to discuss the charge against him. He was ordered to report to Captain Mason at 4 o'clock each afternoon.
News of the death of De Forest was received at the Arsenal Station not long after noon yesterday. When Higgins reported at 4 P. Captain Mason questioned him for several hours and then placed the homicide charge against him.
Taken to the detention jail in the East Sixty-seventh Street Station Higgins continued to deny any connection with the death of De Forest. Higgins is 31 years old and lives at 468 West Fifty-eighth street.
Captain Mason declared that not clubbing had been done by the assailant of De Forest. He said that De Forest had died from blows from a fist. He is not reported as stating how he knew this. He also said if Higgins did beat the man it was very possible that, coming on De Forest in the dark, the patrolman believed he had been robbing couples in the park and struck him in an attempt to chase him out of the park. Yet he did not advance a statement as to why the officer failed to make an arrest. Nor was he able to explain how De Forest reached the spot where he was found, on the opposite side of the park from the place where he was beaten.

The party from the destroyers, including Parades, attended a dance at Rosherville, near Graves end. Parades' presence at the dance was resented by the white sailors, and Parades was shot during an ensuing tracas. He is now lying in a hospital in a critical condition, but the Kent County police find themselves unable to arrest his assailants.
Immediately after the shooting the sailors concerned returned hastily aboard ship, and when the police went aboard and demanded the surrender of the assailants the demand was refused by Captain Peterson and Lieutenant Commander Deem, in charge of the destroyers.
An authority on international law here today upheld the officers' attitude, saving:
"International law is most specific on that point. These vessels are American territory, and British civil authorities cannot touch an American who seeks sanctuary there. It would be the same if a British sailor went ashore from his vessel in New York Harbor, committed a crime and returned to his ship. American authorities couldn't touch him, because he would be on British territory. The British authorities would investigate the crime and take disciplinary measures to bring the offender to justice." All the men who attended the dance are said to be in custody aboard ship, and a board consisted of three officers, with the assistance of a British police officer, in investigating. The destroyers are scheduled to leave for Spain, but it is expected their departure will be delayed.

week after he had recovered from a brief illness. He emphatically denied the kinship of the man and said that he had never seen him. "Furthermore," he said, "there is no one in my family who would take $5.50 from a cash drawer." In his opinion, the prisoner had used his name in the hope that it would cause the authorities to deal lightly with him.
Monday morning a reporter asked the prisoner Banks if he was related to the Democratic leader and he answered: "Yes." According to Patrolman Joseph Brown of the West 155th street station, the cries of Renner for a policeman attracted his attention last week while he was on post near the fruit stand.
As he was advancing toward the stand, the officer said, he observed two men running from the place. He chased them to a roof at 101 W. 133d street. Halting at the command of the officer, after leaping over several roofs in the chase, Banks, the officer testified, threw up his hands. He had a knife in his possession, the officer said. The other handit escaped. Upon information given him by Banks, the policeman stated, he sought Fernandez and placed him under arrest. The fruit dealer identified both of the prisoners. In court the wife of Fernandez testified that her husband was at home at the time of the alleged crime. A roomer in the same apartment was called to corroborate her testimony.
The corroborating witness, a "Mrs. Hawkins," was threatened with arrest for perjury by the maristrate when she testified as to her presence in Fernandez apartment on the night of the al-
NOW—she uses Mange Medicine before going out!
Almost everyone knows about Mange Medicine—how it touches the hair like a magic wand and makes it glow and sparkle and gleam as nothing else in the world will do.
But thousands dared not use it. The old tar odor was objectionable. It clung for days. Now the tar odor is gone—vanished. Sergeant's Mange Medicine has no tar odor. In every other way it is the same, effective hair treatment. But it has been deodorized so that there's no possible objection to its use.
Now you can bring out the full beauty of your hair—see it grow more luxurious, easier to dress, more glowing, more youthful, full of life.
The new Sergeant's Mange Medicine without the tar odor is for sale by DrugStores, Department Stores, and Toilet Goods Counters. Insist on orange package with red band. Price 75c.

With her baby in her arms, Mrs. Fernandez cried as she heard the decision of the court. At first ball was granted to Fernandez and then it was decided by the court to hold both without ball. Banks has a criminal record, the police say.

Democracy in Jamaica
DOWN in Jamaica, from whence came a large sector of Harlem's West Indian population as well as the constituency of the one time provisional president of Africa, the skids were recently greased with a proposition to legislate a new political Constitution—one under which the Governor would have the power to override the will of the voters of the Legislature, whenever he thought the vital interests of the island might be endangered. At the "test" meeting of the Legislature, however, the majority of elected members refused to accept the new Constitution upon the ground that the voice of the governed is of paramount importance as compared with the discretion of the Governor, who, after all, is merely the servant of the people. Thus was democracy saved from crucifixion in Jamaica.

"Little Corporal," was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery.
He suffered a sudden attack of indigestion shortly after he had retired to his room in a lodging house in Cleveland, O., where he was attending the annual convention of I. P. B. O. E. W. early last Wednesday morning, and died within an hour. His death came four days after his forty-fourth birthday.
Funeral services were held Monday evening at the Mother Zion A. M. E. Church. The Rev. Peter Price, assistant pastor of the church, read the service. Prof William Lepree-Houston of the Howard University Law School eulogized the life of the deceased lawyer. The ceremonies were long and solemn. Scripture was read by the Rev. Mr. Wallace and the congregation sang a hymn. Abbie Mitchell rendered a solo. J. Dalmus Steele, Exalted Ruler of the Manhattan Lodge, paid a tribute to his friend and brother Elk. Rites of the Elks were said over the body of the fallen man. Exercises were also held by the Clubmen's and Southern Beneficiary Leagues, of which he was a member and legal adviser.
Jerome P. Ottley, one of the men who made up the party in which Mr. Stewart went to the convention, told of the lawyer's activities from the time he left New York until he made his last remark, which was: "Lord, have mercy." Circled around the edge of the rostrum were officials of the Elk lodges. On the platform with the pastor was the Rev. Frazier Miller, rector of the St. Augustine P. E. Church, Brooklyn.

the background of the heavy oak casket were huge and beautiful floral tributes from associations, friends and admirers. At either end of the coffin were members of the fraternal order, who stood rigidly at attention.
Up until the time the funeral procession was formed people filed in and out of the Duncan Brothers' Undertaker's Parlors. 2005 Seventh avenue, to review for the last time the "Little Corporal in silence."
The large crowd began to collect in front of the place early in the evening. A special detail of policemen was sent from the West 135th Street Station to keep order.
Led by the Monarch Lodge's Band, the funeral party marched from Seventh avenue, and 135th street through to Lenox avenue and back to Seventh, over 136th street and into West 137th street. The procession entered the church shortly after 8 p.m.
A delegation of the city's most distinguished lawyers, politicians and business men were in the line of march. With the immediate family was Attorney Clarke Smith, law partner of the dead man. As the beautiful oak casket was carried into the church a woman, probably getting her last glimpse, uttered a sharp cry and fainted. Policemen rushed to her side and after removing her from the multitude administered first aid. About midnight Tuesday, Mr. Otteley said, Attorney Stewart re-
turned to his room in Cleveland from a special meeting of New York delegation to the convention, Prior to going home he had sent a night letter to New York.
On reaching the rooming house the party of five decided to go to a restaurant for a light lunch, it was about 1:30 a.m. Determined not to eat anything too heavy, he ordered one-half of a cantaloupe and a cup of coffee. Later he insisted upon the waitress bringing him a real cold glass of milk.
Taking a taxi, the men returned to their rooming place. They chatted for a few minutes as to what they were planning to do the next day. Each of them then went to his room.
Mr. Otlley said that twenty minutes later he had turned off his light and was in bed, when he heard some prowling around in the room. Jumping up he heard Counsellor Stewart say: "I am dying with gas."
First aid was administered. A white doctor who lived across the street refused to come out at night. A physician was secured some distance away, but too late to save the "Little Corporal's" life. All this transpired in three-quarters of an hour.
Lawyer Stewart was born in New York City August 20, 1852. He was the son of a celebrated attorney, T. McCant Stewart. He was graduated from the public schools of Brooklyn. After completing his
elementary training he went to Tuskegee Institute.
Graduating in 1895 in dairying, he took a post-graduate course in the Universities of Wisconsin and Michigan. He later accepted a position as chief butter maker and manager of the department for the Burnside Creamery of Michigan and South Dakota. Because of his ill health he gave up the position and went to California. For the next two years he traveled through the Orient and Europe. Still later he returned to New York and began to study law at New York University. After passing the bar he began his practice here, devoting most of his time to corporation and immigration cases. He was one of the twelve lawyers that figured in the famous Standard Oil-Hearst Case in 1906
He was assistant secretary of the Vigilance Committee which was the forerunner of the N. A. A. C. P. He was on the committee that drafted the Civil Liberties Bill of the Stute. He scored President Roosevelt for dismissing the U. S. Infantry involved in the Brownsville affair and made speeches all over the country criticizing the President's action.

According to Patrolman Joseph Brown, the pair assaulted the complainant after they had robbed him. Efforts were made by witnesses to break down the testimony of the police officer, but Assistant District Attorney George Ewald pointed out the fact to the court and discredited their statements.

Accused of stealing from
James Mitchell, 144 W., 127th
street, after he had befriended
him. Belford was held in $10,000
hall to await the action of the
grand jury. He pleaded not
murder to the charge.
Several months ago the youth was released from the reformatory and secured a place in Harlem to judge. A little time later he obtained work as a dishwasher. The young man had a quarrel with the landlady, it was said, and she put him out of the apartment. going to Mitchell and telling him of his trouble, the complainant permitted him to share his room. Mitchell said that he left the youth in his room when he left home and on his return he found that a quantity of his wearing apparel was missing. Belford had also disappeared. The robbery was reported to the police and a search for him started. Detective Tierney of the West 15th street station found the youth and placed him under arrest. He refused to make a statement to the detective.
After the complainant had testified the court informed the youthful prisoner of his right to examine the witness. He waived the right and took the stand.
The marquisate ordered him to step down from the stand after he had attempted to explain his case in a voice a little above a whisper. As the judge began to recite the facts in the case, he began to cry. Crying and appealing to the court to take into consideration his age, the prisoner said that he had committed his previous offense when he was a small boy and didn't realize what he was do-

MYSTERY SURROUNDS FINDING OF BUILDER'S DEAD BODY
Bled to Death From Stab Wounds on Stoop of 144th Street Apartment House — Believed to Have Been in Good Financial Circumstances Despite Overalls
Complete mystery surrounds the death of William Forbes. 40. a wealthy white contractor of 176 West Eighty-sixth street, who was found dead Saturday in the hallway of an apartment building at No. 244 West 144th street. The body had stab wounds in the chest and right leg, and detectives intimated that
they were inflicted by a short-bladed knife. The police believe that Forbes bled to death.
Mrs. Mary Forbes, the contractor's wife, could shed no light on her husband's death. She did not know why he was in the apartment building.
The body was discovered at about 2 o'clock Saturday morning by Policeman Harris of the West 138th street station after an unknown man had approached him on his beat and told him there was a "sick man" in the hallway at 244 West 144th street. The informant disappeared before Harris had a chance to question him.
Harris went to the address and found the body of Forbes in a pool of blood. The dead man's clothing was torn, his hair disheveled and a banister in the hallway was broken.
The policeman sent a hurry call to Harlem Hospital in the hope that some life remained in the body, and Dr. Maymard responded. The doctor said that the man had been dead for more than an hour. Detectives sped to the scene and questioned the residents of the building as to whether or not they had heard any noises during the night. Despite the glaring evidence of a struggle, all of the tenants maintained that they had heard nothing. Detective Garvey, however, stated later in the day that he had discovered some fingerprints on the wall of the hallway, which he expects to use to advantage in identifying the murderer.
When the body was first discovered police were led to believe that the dead man was an employee of a nearby garage, as he was found clad in a suit of overalls similar to those worn by mechanics. The overalls served to complicate matters when Mrs. Forbes identified the body later in the day. Forbes was reputed to be well fixed financially, and his wife stated to the police that she knew of no reason why he should be wearing a mechanic's overalls.
UNABLE TO LOCATE
COMPLAINING WITNESS
Accused of beating a young woman over the head with a sledge hammer, Walter Wiggins was held without bail by Magistrate Edward Well. In the Heights Court Monday to allow the authorities time to locate the complaining witness. According to the arresting officer, Patrolman Leon Harris of the West 135th street station, Virginia Turner, the complainant, has moved from the address that she gave to him after the alleged assault. The woman has also quit the employment where she was engaged at that time.

Women Federal Prisoners to Be Segregated
Women Federal Prisoners to Be Segregated
New Institution Being Built in West Virginia on Cottage Plan. Without Walls, With New Yorker in Charge
Women offenders of the Federal law—now scattered among many State penal institutions—are to be brought together in a new Federal institution in Alderson, West Virginia. This cottage-plan building is to be to women offenders what Atlanta, Leavenworth and McNeil Island are to men offenders of Federal laws.
Appropriations for this prison, as made by Congress, envisage the most carefully designed and variously equipped prison in the country. It is to cost about $2,400,000, or around $4,800 per capita for a contemplated prison population of five hundred.
Fashion Hints
New Hats.
The lofty crown, now firmly entrenched with "the fashionables."
The women's Federal prison is the outcome of an agitation carried on for several years by individuals and groups of women. The most active group was the General Federation of Women's Clubs. One of the most effective individual advocates of the establishment was Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt. Assistant Attorney General of the United States, who has supervision over all Federal penal institutions.
The cottage system has been adopted, so that the prisoners may be segregated as fully as possible in consistent groups. There are to be no prison walls and no guards, barring night watchmen. Each cottage is to be under the direction of a trained matron. Dr. Mary B. Harris, who was superintendent of the woman's workhouse on Blackwell's Island. New York, is to be in general charge.
The principal workshop will be for sewing and knitting. Goods for other Federal institutions will be made in it. Occupational training in many lines and elementary schooling, when needed, are to be provided. Emphasis will be put upon the value of music as a therapeutic measure, applying here what has been demonstrated in the army, in men's prisons and all reformatories, as well as in the community at large. Classification: and assignment to all occupations and studies will be made after careful case study of the individual in addition to the recommendations of the superintendent, physician, psychologist, educational director and all other members of the staff with whom a prisoner has direct contact.
According to statistics, women constitute only about five per cent of the total Federal prison population.
That Baby You've Longed For
Mrs. Burton Advices Women on Motherhood and Companionship.
"For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Margaret Burton, of Kansas City, was terribly nervous about her mother's decision to marry and malacchola. Now I am the proud mother of a beautiful little daughter and a time companion and inspiration to my wife. I am grateful to my women would like to know the secret of my happiness, and I will gladly reveal it to any married women who would like to know the secret advice entirely without charge. She has nothing to sell. Letters should be addressed to Mrs. Margaret Burton, 234 Massachusetts, Kansas City, No. 300, dependence will be strictly confidential.

Many are the new hats for full: some of caliskin, leopard felt, degrade velours and fish-scale felt.
That School Girl Scarf Frock.
Unique is the frock of "Autumn-Bloom" with the skirt and scarf of the same color. The blouse—of a different hue—is smart for school wear and practical use.
Bloused.
If you would be smart, your navy cloth frock must be bloused all around.
New wool crespino makes a becoming frock. The gay embroidery—a dominant feature—emphasizes the new bloused line. Touches of color on the neck and cuffs harmonize with the smart sash embroidery.

EYE BROWS.
Did you know that the hair on
the head has a tendency to part
slightly to the left of the center?
That the left eye brow also parts?
The eye brow part can be most
readily detected on persons whose
eye brows are heavy.
Eye brows that are too heavy give a harsh and course expression to the face. They may be thinned by pulling them out with a pair of tweezers, or by the process of electrolysis. Your hairdresser can perform the operation, if she is experienced. When the eye brows are too thin, alcohol may be applied once a week. Brilliantine, vaseline and coconut oil have a tendency to darken the eye brows. They should never be rubbed the wrong way as this roughens them and tends to break the hairs.

THE FEMINIST VIEWPOINT
"DON'T think too much about yourself. When all you can think of is yourself, you're in a bad way."
This quotation was in one of the last messages of the late Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, to the young people of America.
On the other hand, what are we to think about? In an age so elastic as ours, and so apparently progressive, we can turn our thoughts to educational, economic, financial and social problems. In the course of the general span of life even more things than these have to be taken care of. When you need a "thought substitute" just start looking for one—the search will not be long.
Maybe less concentration on self will give us a fairer opportunity to do something of a constructive nature. Maybe we'd become altruistic and thus help to make America a better place in which to live—T. E. B.

Newark and Its Negro Population
It is perhaps no play upon words to say that no northern city touched by the new "migration wave" from the South North, which spent its force in 1922, has been so much benefited as has the city of Newark, N. J. For, we must not forget that when the last trainload of Negroes had detrained its passengers, the usual propaganda was set a-foot that the presence of the new migrants would present a problem in the form of a new crime wave; but, however true or untrue this might have been of other cities, Newark experienced no such problem.

Just the contrary condition resulted in this city; the permanent colored population increased from 18,000 in 1920 to 27,000 in 1925. Some idea of the growth among this newly arrived colored population may be gained by a glance at the figures of the United States Internal Revenue Department of the Second District of New Jersey, which shows that the income-taxing colored population increased from 1,600 in 1920 to 2,300 in 1925. The report of the banks show that the colored depositors advanced from 2,800 in 1920 to 5,000 in 1925; check accounts increased from 431 in 1920 to 956 in 1925.
The number of physicians, lawyers, undertakers, druggists and other professional men increased by from 40 to 64 per cent. These figures show only imperfectly the wonderful growth of the Negro population of Newark. There are about eighteen thriving churches of all denominations. One first-class, theatre caters to the amusement desires of the colored population; a sanitarium takes the lead in caring for the sick, and a branch of the Urban League administers to the social needs of the masses. A colored branch of the Y. W. C. A. seeks to develop independence among the young girls of Newark, and a settlement house operated by white people encourages the attendance of the colored boys of the city.
In addition to the ordinary businesses usually conducted by colored people, Newark has about five grocery stores supported, almost wholly by colored patrons. One of the most competent express and storage houses in the city, regardless of race, is that conducted by a company of Negroes. The reasons for this progress are many; but the main cause seems to be that the entire colored population of Newark is a working population. The workers enter the factories, dye-works and other large commercial and industrial buildings during the early hours of the morning and leave when dusk approaches.
At evenings the women may be seen leaving their homes in brigades and one accustomed to the nightlife of other cities might conclude that they were about to enter places usually frequently by women of the race in other cities; but this is not so, for most of these women who leave their homes at night may be found struggling within the confines of some fraternal organization, or seeking religious in-
spiration within the edifices of the churches.
There is practically no nightlife in the City of Newark among colored people. The youth is well behaved on the streets, and the crime statistics are down to the minimum.
One very unusual feature of Newark's business life is the presence in the real estate business of a colored woman, who conducts a thriving business and caters to a white as well as to a colored clientele.
It was a bit unusual to find that there was not a branch of the Y. M. C. A. in Newark, and that a population so large and progressive had no newspaper, except those which come to it from the outside. The feeling between the whites and blacks of Newark is splendid; and the white.business houses testify to the financial capacity of the colored population. The city is growing, and the time is not distant when the bugbear of the race—politics—will through community cohesion bring great benefit to the colored people of Newark. The city and municipal departments of the city give employment to many of the colored residents, and the legislature of the State has seen the presence of several colored members. The homes of the colored people are well located and many enjoy ownership of what might be called palatial residences.
The visitor to Newark will also be surprised to find that a successful taxicab company is owned and operated by Negroes.
LISTEN TO STRANGER
LOSES HIS BANK ROLL
CLEVELAND. O. Aug. 30. While John Patton, 3460 Independence road, was being taught a lesson in the fine arts of carrying money safely, his "teacher" switched envelopes. Now Patton has asked police to help him find the "teacher" and his $75. Patton told police the man posed as a member of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World and called him "careless" for carrying money loose in his pockets. After the demonstration, Patton went to the bank to deposit his savings, only to find a neat assortment of clippings in the envelope.

Dr. Mordecal W. Johnson, who was elected president by the trustees of Howard University June last and who has been traveling in Europe during the summer as a member of the Sherwood Eddy Seminary, returned to New York on the Berengaria Friday and came directly to Washington for a conference with the university preparatory to entering upon his duties as president of the university September 1. Dr. Johnson visited Paris, London, Berlin, Prague, Vienna and Geneva. He is the first colored man to head Howard University as president.

Washington branches of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, under direction of Mrs. Julia West Hamilton and Mrs. Marie Madre-Marshall, have already begun their plans for the entertainment of the national organization in 1928.

Bathing Beach on Georgia avenue with the words "For White Only," and which proved to be an eyesore to colored residents of that vicinity, has been removed by the management.

The Mittee Monarch Band of New York City was easily the finest and gave several concerts in the white sections of the city, receiving great applause.
City Officials.
The city officials evidently spared no paints to make the visitors comfortable. On East 55th street fully a mile of gala lights were bung over the streets at the city's expense, the traffic department by its efficient handling contributed much to the smooth running of the parade; extra police were detailed to guard the visitors from pickpockets, while one of the boulevards of the city was closed for the parade.
At the welcoming exercises held in the Masonic Auditorium, City Manager William R. Hopkins, and U.S. Senator Willis gave addresses of welcome which rang true; the press devoted, in some instances, the entire front page to pictures of the officers and counts of the conspirators. Indeed, Cleveland lived up to its reputation of liberality to the colored citizen.
Much of the official welcoming is due to the efforts of Thomas W. Fleming, exalted ruler of Cuyahoga.

The season at the Stone House is at its height. Never were hiking, fishing, archery, billiards and, to make it short, every sport which is most enjoyable in the mountains, so much the rage. Hitherto undiscovered champions in these sports have been unearthed. Visiting and joining the colony of vacationists and guests of the Stone House, Roxbury, Delaware County, New York, are; Attorney and Mrs. J. Gordon Dingle and Master J. Gordon Dingle, Jr. Mrs. Fred R. Moore, Mrs. Bertha Queenen, Miss Marion Moore, Mrs. Edith McAllester, A. Pollock, Dr. and Mrs. Marion Moore, Mrs. Edith McMartin, Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer F.

$25 a month. One colored cafeferia. Phyllis Wheatley, doubled its prices, having one price for visitors and another for regular patrons. Several New Yorkers called my attention to this. I in turn, told Editor Forte of the Cleveland Herald, who instantly took up the matter personally, and brought about an even price for all. The Herald, by the way, is an up-to-date and well-edited paper. The convention will be held in New York next year and let's hope that New Yorkers will omit either the song of hospitality or the profiteering. The sudden death of Gilchrist Stewart cast a bloom over the convention and did much to mar the pleasure of the New York delegation particularly. He was taken ill at 1.30 a. m. with cramps and died 45 minutes later.
Other Features.
Other highlights of the convention were the grand parade which was carried out with the pep and snap of veteran marchers. Feezes and costumes of purple and gold, floats, and decorated autos made a moving mass of pleasing color as the procession swung along to the music of the many bands. City Manager Hopkins and other leading officials occupied the reviewing stand along with the grand officers of the order.
When Julian flew over the parade in a plane.
There was also a ball in the magnificent City Auditorium with about eight thousand in attendance as well as auto-races, prize-fights, moonlight lake rides, a Mardi Gras night carnival, an afternoon and night at Luna Park, a side-trip to Niagara Falls and visit to the Wakeman County Club, and other diversions.
Most noticeable was the good behavior, a drunken person being a rare sight. As usual there was an abundance of Elks' milk.
Results.
The convention closed Saturday afternoon after hearing reports of committees, including that of the fidelity fund, which affects increased taxation of members. A scholarship fund of $70,000 was voted for the children of poor Elks, and $1,000 for education in Africa, but in so far as getting down to a consideration of, or having a program of real vital moment to group, very little seems to have been accomplished. The immediate beneficial effect of the convention was the outing it gave to thousands and the opportunity for exchange of contact and ideas. In a word it was a great exhibition of jaw power, which left the railroads several hundred thousand dollars richer.
The resolution in favor of the Pullman Porters' Brotherhood was shelved.

Mail is rather heavy at the Stone House. The fishing enthusiasts had a trip to Margaretville, bringing home an enormous catch (3 fish). There is now a staged which consumes most of the time from supper to bedtime. Dr. McCary won both series of chess, while John M. Royall led at checkers. The pool and billiard championship is being snatched from the male portion of the party by a certain engaged young lady, in the party. Miss Allyce Mason is kept busy tuning in on the summer widowers via radio and also besieged by requests to manipulate the keys of a certain piano which she does so well, Dr. Chaunee Levy and wife, Dr. Agnes Griffin, the newlyweds, indulge in morning and afternoon strolls. Mrs. Mary Moore is the best berry picker and Mrs. Pauline Royall the best cherry picker. Mortimer F. Smith and his better half hunt long, but not so well. So far, the spoils have been confined to fruit. Young Dingle shoots woodchucks galore. There is a new play out "Let's Fall Down the Cellar Stairs," in the cellar; Attorney J. Gordon Dingle and wife motored up and back from New York, last week. A motor-skidding party escorted them as far as Arkville. The social events and recreations call for rules and regulations. Serving on this committee are: Dr. McCary, Mrs. Moore, Miss Martin, Mrs. McCary, Mrs. Daniels and Mrs. Thompson.

This same official who asked not to be quoted said that the more practical men in the order regarded the Pace-Bates dispute as a healthy sign, and declared that if the voting had been by secret ballot and not by word of mouth all would not have gone so swimmingly with the present administration. Many, he told me, were afraid to be openly known as opposing the administration. Another leading Elk, a southern business men, made a similar comment.

Porto Rican Burglar Captured by Police Reserve in Brooklyn
Porto Rican Burglar Captured by Police Reserve in Brooklyn
Sergt, Smith, of 37th Precinct, and Local Florist Apprehend Man After He Is Said to Have Broken Into Fulton Street Apartment
Owing to the alertness of Sergent Charles M. Smith of the Police Reserves of the 57th precinct, Antonio Dias, a Porto Rican, 21 years old, who claimed that he lived at 259 Nyrle avenue, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon. August 25, and held on a charge of robbery. Smith was assisted in capturing Dias as a bribe, who is a former member of the reserves. Dias was arranged in the New Jersey Avenue Court on Thursday and held without bail. It is claimed by the police that Dias has a long record of crime and was on parole at the time. According to Sergent Smith, he noticed Dias and another man prowling around the N.J. FTA Station, N.J. But Johnson, a church shop. The men noted so suspiciously he decided to watch them. He enlisted the aid of Butler.
One of the men went upstairs while the other waited downstairs, acting as a lookout. Smith followed the one that went upstairs and found him knocking on a door, not withstanding the fact that a staple lock was on the outside and it was locked, indicating that there was not anyone at home. Smith asked the man what he wanted and he inquired if there were any Porto Ricans living in the house. Porto informed that none lived there, the man went downstairs. He and his partner put up Fulton street. Smith and Butler decided to trail them and Butler got into his automobile, driving slowly, up Fulton street.
One of the men stopped at 1830 Fulton street. One went upstairs, while the other acted as lookout, and remained downstairs. In about an hour one came downstairs carrying a bundle. The two started to walk away, then Butter started his car, which had been parked about a half block from 1830 Fulton street, and when they came the two men, Smith out and old man stop, instead of stopping they began to run and, at the same time, reaching for their hip jockets. Butter drew his revolver, for which he has a permit, and fired several times in the air. Dias stopped, but the other man ran into a hallway pursued, by Smith. He jumped over a fence and made his getaway.
Police came and took charge of the man. All went back to 1830 Fulton street and found an apartment, had been broken into. The owner of the apartment was locked and identified the goods. Dias was taken to the Ralph avenue station and held on a charge of burglary.
According to reports there has been a number of cases of robbery in this vicinity, and it is believed that these men are the ones who have been committing these depredations. Dias, who is a barber, is reported to have 'last worked at a shop at 317 Ralph avenue, while employed there is claimed that he broke the shop of Mr. Sessons another barber, located at 1657 Futton street, and stole some equipment and three suits of clothes. This was revealed when Mr. Sessons, who had heard of the arrest, identified several combs that Dias is alleged to have taken there from his place. The police would not hold this alleged theft against the man, as they considered the evidence not strong. Butler and Smith of seeing both men the way, revolvers, even a manable to find the one he claims the man had whom he was chasing. Butler, however, found a revolver on the roof of a garage and claimed that it was the one that Dias had.

Brooklyn Man Left Large Sum Probating of Will of Clem Fountain Discloses an Estate of $70,000
What has been described as a very wise will by a number of legal minds was called to public attention recently when the will of Clem Fountain was probated: It was so considered because Mr. Fountain left his estate, which was estimated to be over $70,000, poorly distributed among all of his relatives. Mr. Fountain, who was over 50 years old at the time of his death, lived at 1550 Fulton street. His home was over a fish store and his friends wondered why he lived there, for he owned several pieces of property in a better location. There were forty relatives remembered in the will. Mr. Fountain left $100 to each with the exception of one. F. Fountain, a nephew, who lives at 1083 Herkimer street, was made executor of the estate. He was left a larger sum because of the duties placed upon him as executor.
Mr. Fountain was a native of Dover, N. C. and came to Brooklyn some years ago. He secured employment on the docks as a longshoreman and in the course of time was made a stewardess.
Fountain worked hard and saved money. In the course of time some of the men would need some money to meet an urgent debt and would go to Fountain seeking a loan. He would advance the money, provided the man would agree to give him a certain bond for the loan. As a insurance he would take the man's pay check and on pay day he would cash the check, take his share and give the man the balance. Thus he accumulated several thousand dollars and started to invest in real estate.
Fountain's investments were so profitable that he decided to retire, doing so some years ago.
Mr. Fountain lived quietly. Pew who knew him thought that he was worth $70,000, as he was not ostentatious and was not a man to discuss his affairs with people. Rumor had him worth at least $30,000 at the time of his death, and when the larger sum was revealed at the time of the probating of the will, a number of surprise. A number of heirs mentioned in the will are in the former home of Mr. Fountain, Dover, N. C.
Attorney Rufus L. Perry of 370 Fulton street was retained by the executor of the estate to act as his legal adviser.

Brooklyn Man to Sue Theatre
Brooklyn Man to Sue Theatre
Said an Attempt Was Made to Segregate Him After Purchase of Tickets
An effort on the part of the management of the Fulton Theatre. Located at 2283 Fulton street, is being made to segregate Negroes, according to a statement made by Harvey D. Pettus, an engineer of 551 Herkimer street. Mr. Pettus, accompanied by his wife, said he bought two tickets for the orchestra section at the Fulton, Friday night, August 13. The occasion arose for him to leave his wife for a short time and, in so doing, he gave her one of the tickets. Mrs. Pettus, under the impression that she was entitled to the same privilege that is granted to holders of orchestra tickets, attempted to secure a seat in the section designated by the ticket. The usher, it is alleged, refused to grant her a seat, stating that she was in possession of the wrong ticket.
in the meantime, Mr. Pettus returned and the situation was explained to him. Upon inquiry at the box office as to why his wife could not be seated, it is said that the management stated they did not sell orchestra tickets to Negroes. The management is further alleged to have said that inasmuch as they controlled the house, they reserved the right to regulate the seating of its patrons. Mr. and Mrs. Pettus left the theatre, at the same time refusing to redeem the tickets.
A representative of The Amsterdam News was informed by Mr. Negro that he had engaged legal counsel. He also stated that he would file suit against the management of the theatre under the Civil Rights Law.
According to reports, this theatre is one of the many in the up town section of Brooklyn that have attempted to segregate Negroes.

Posing as Hall-Mills Witness, Had Forged Check
BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 30.—Posing as a witness in the present Hall-Mills murder investigation in New Jersey, James Davis, 28 years old, attempted to cash a check for $1,500 with a Drulid Hill avenue storkeeper, according to the police Thursday.
Forged on the check, they say, was the signature of Mrs. Frances S. Hall, one of the principals in the case. The check was drawn on the Citizens National Bank of New Brunswick, N. J.
Because the storekeeper whom Davis asked to cash the check is said to have refused to prosecute him, the police asked Magistrate Rohleder in Northwestern Police Court to dismiss charges against Davis of attempting to obtain money under false pretenses. The Magistrate complied with the request.
To substantiate his claim of having testified at the recent Grand Jury investigation of the Hall-Mills mystery, Davis is said to have presented, along with check, a forged letter signed "Mrs. Frances S. Hall."
The police say that Davis, who asserts that he has appeared in the prize ring as a heavyweight boxer, had admitted both forgeries, and that communication with the New Jersey police has revealed that Mrs. Hall maintained no account with the bank on which the check was drawn and denied ever having heard of the man.
Youth of 18 Pays Penalty for Crime
Youngest to Hang in West Virginia State Prison at Moundsville
MOUNDSVILLE. W. Va., Aug.
30.—Philip Euman, 18. Saturday
paid with his life on the gallows
of the West Virginia state penitentiary for the murder on April 10,
last, of Charles Shaw, a grocery
clerk of Lambert's Run, near
Clarksburg. Euman's body shot
through the trap of the prison gallows one-half minute after
o'clock. At 5.11 o'clock he was
pronounced dead by prison physic
clans.
Euman, who according to prison records, is the youngest man ever to be executed at the penitentiary, went to his death with utmost coolness; he came from his death cell to walk unalued up the steps of the gallows, accompanied by guards and the Rev. W. C. Harold, prison chaplain, with whom he had passed the day in prayer. Warden S. P. Smith asked if he had anything to say. His low reply was: "Nothing to say."
Sang Spirituals.
As Euman walked to the gallows a number of convicts in a room adjoining the death house sang spirituals. The singing did not stop until the thud of the falling gallows trap informed the singers that Euman had plunged to his death.
The condemned man passed the hours previous to his execution in his death cell with Chaplain Harold in almost constant attendance. He gave no intimation of fear over his approaching end and talked easily with the chaplain or joined him in prayer. He apparently did not give up hope of executive clemency until an hour before he was led from the death cell to the gallows.
Lewis Sees Hanging.
Warden Smith, prison guards, newspaper men and a number of state policemen witnessed the execution. Along with state troopers was Corporal H. H. Lewis, stationed at Haywood Junction, who accomplished Eunan's arrest on May 1 as he was boarding a train at Haywood Junction. His conviction for murder occurred in the courts of Harrison County with Judge J. C. Southern passing sentence.
Eman, one of a family of 13 children, was a native of Alabama. His body was unclaimed following the execution and was consigned to the care of Chaplain Harold, who will have the body buried here.
The New York Evening High School for Women and Men, Irving place and 16th street, has added to its curriculum a course for men and women in the essentials of advertising, together with practical instructions in the preparation of advertisements, the writing of copy, the details of mechanical production, etc. Sessions for this course will be held Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 and it is free.

BEATEN IN JAIL CELL BY TWO OFFICERS, HE SAYS
Former Second Baseman of New York Giants Retains Lawyer to Prosecute Two Colored Atlantic City Policemen
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. Aug. 30. — James (Jimmy) Smith, white, once second baseman of the New York Giants and also of the Philadelphia team of the National League, retained an attorney Saturday to press charges against two colored policemen who, he chrages, beat him into insensibility with a rubber hose in the city jail here Friday. Hiram Steelman, the lawyer retained by Smith, said that he would await the return of Mayor Bader before pressing the charges, inasmuch as he desired to give the Mayor, who is head of the police force, a chance to investigate the case.
Smith, who came here on Thursday to recuperate after an operation, said his three-year-old daughter was playing ball on the beach, and Beach Censor Michael Bird took the ball, from her. He demonstrated, he said, and the censor handed the ball to him and then struck him on the hand with a blackjack. Words followed, and the pair clinched.
Friends of Smith including Harry Greb, the prize-fighter, intervened, but the censor called the patrol and Smith was carried to the city jail in his wet bathing suit. He asserted that use, of a telephone was denied him and that he was thrown into a cell in his wet suit after ball had been set at $125 on charges of disorderly conduct and inciting a riot.
Smith charged further that he asked a white turnkey, William Smith, for permission to use the telephone to get clothing because of fear of catching cold, and the latter inquired where his operation had been performed. When Smith opened his mouth to show him, he alleges, the turnkey drew off and struck him in the face, felling him. The two policemen thereupon pounced upon him and beat him, he said.
Turnkey Makes Denial.
denied the allegations of Smith. The ball player came into the jail in an ugly mood, the turnkey said, and struck at him. Smith said he dougled and in self-defense hit the ball player and placed him in a cell. No policeman entered the cell, according to Smith. "Smith was one of the most unruly prisoners we have had," said the turnkey. "After I placed him in a cell, he tried to tear it down and made a terrible commotion. Finally I was forced to put him in a padded cell until his release. If he had ever landed the blow he aimed at me, he would have broken the bones of my face."
Tuskegee and Hampton Remembered in Wills
By a will filed in August, Tuskegee Institute is to receive $294,506 as residuary legatee from the estate of Mrs. Helen L. Beattie, white, which has been appraised at $325,144 gross and $299,506 net. Other beneficiaries under her will were Eliza Kelly, Jessie Bein, Emily Bobb, George B. Leverich and F. Louise Leverich, all of New Orleans, who received $1,000 each. Mrs. Beattie died on June 25.

To the institute proper goes $5,000, while shares of the residue, which are not estimated in the will or other papers, go to the Hampton School for Nurses and to the Memorial Chapel of the same institution.
The transfer tax affidavit gives the value of the Monrocc estate as "more than $20,000," but the list of bequests includes more than $1, $30,000.

Porters Celebrate First Anniversary
Porters Celebrate First Anniversary
While delegates to the Elks' convention in Cleveland were debating the question as to whether or not it should endorse the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the organizers of the Brotherhood, many of the workers affected and their friends gathered in St. Luke's Hall Thursday evening and celebrated the first anniversary of the organization.
When Mr. Benjamin Stollberg, who presided, rose to his feet from his seat on the rostrum to open the meeting, every seat in the hall was occupied and as the evening wore on scores lined the alces or stood in back of the room. Not all of those present were porters; not yet were they all Negroes, because many of those in the audience were white men and women who journeyed to Harlem to encourage the men responsible for the union movement.
A United States: Congressman, F. H. LaGuardia; a former Socialist Assemblyman, August Classens; a Columbia professor and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Bowman; an assistant public school principal, Mrs. Elise McDougald; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Frank, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Jellif of Cleveland, Ohio; Fred R. Moore, Norman Thomas, W. J. Orr of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; Mr. Ira De Reid of the New York Urban League, and many others, all leaders of thought in their respective lines of endeavor, told the porters in rapid-fire, five-minute speeches that they are on the right track, but that if they expect to win they must be prepared for a fight of long duration with little help from the outside.
The primary objects of the Brotherhood are to get a living wage for the porters, pay for the time spent in preparing cars for trips, pay for delayed arrivals at terminals and recognition of their union.
The present general organizer of the Brotherhood is A. Philip Randolph. He is assisted by W. H. Des Verney and A. L. Totten, both veteran Pullman porters, and Frank R. Crosswalth, special organizer. Roy Lancaster is secretary and treasurer and S. E. Grain, field representatives.
The speeches were interpersed with vocal selections. Just before the meeting was adjourned, after which refreshments and dancing were indulged in, the ladies' auxiliary of the Brotherhood presented Mr. Randolph with an expensive traveling bag.
The Brotherhood will have charge of the forum of St. James Presbyterian Church this Sunday at 4 o'clock. Mr. Randolph, Dr. Thomas and Mr. Lancaster will address the meeting.

Real Estate Man Duped Out of $780
Eusebious Stewart Falls for Old Lemon Pool"
Game
Eusebious Stewart, a real estate dealer, 424 Lenox avenue, was duped out of $780 last week by falling for one of the oldest swindling games known to the police. This became known Saturday when George Bonney, 39, 165 West 129th street, was arraigned in the Heights Court.
Charged with working the famous "lemon pool" game, Bonney was held in $3,000 bail by Magistrate Albert Vitale for the Special Sessions. He was arrested in his home by Detective Winterhalter of the West 135th street station after he had searched all over Harlem for the man answering to description furnished the authorities by Stewart.
Stewart claims that he was walking along Seventh avenue, near 132d street, when Bonney brushed past him and picked up a pocketbook from the sidewalk.
The real estate man, who said that he had noticed the wallet, stopped Bonney and asked him if he were the owner. Bonney, he said, opened the wallet and showed what seemed to be $1,500 in large bills. He then offered to split the find. Stewart declared.
Bonney gave Stewart a promise to turn over the wallet intact if he would produce half the amount it contained. The next day the
real estate man said that he met Bonney and handed him $780 in cash, for which he received the wallet. When he opened it he found nothing but a $5 bill and some paper.
Maid Held for
Theft of Jewelry
Charged with stealing $125 worth of jewelry belonging to her white employer. Mrs. Sally Staden, 312 Haven avenue, Lucette Morris, a maid, 73 West 128th street, was held in $2,500 bail by Magistrate Vitale in Washington Heights Court Saturday.
According to Detectives Colby and Waldron of the Wadsworth avenue station, who arrested the maid, the Morris girl worked only five days in the Stadlen home when she disappeared. At the same time rings and a lavalliere valued at $125 vanished.
She was traced by detectives from her former address in Washington Heights through an employment agency to the 128th street address. Under questioning at the police station, she denied any connection with the theft.

Handy Man Drops Dead in Cellar

Police Unable to Locate Relatives — Body in
Frank Davis, an aged handy man around the apartment building of No. 104 Lenox avenue, near 135th street station, dropped dead in his dingy, dirty and damp room in the basement of the building Thursday morning.
The report of the man's death spread rapidly, and a large crowd of people collected in front of the building. Two policemen were stationed there to keep order until the medical examiner reached the premises four hours later.
While patrolling his beat around 11 o'clock Thursday morning, Patrolman James Bowen of the West 135th street station was informed of the man's death. He summoned the medical examiner, who proclaimed the man dead and stated that he died as a result of natural causes.
Police spent all the afternoon trying to locate relatives of the lead man, but were unsuccessful. His body was removed to the morgue.

Revokes Permit of Building Contractor
Plans of Isalah Hopkins, a contractor of Belleville, N. J., to build ten homes on Brighton avenue, were temporarily halted last week, when the Town Council of Kearney, N. J., revoked Hopkins' building permit
Complaint Based on a Marked One Dollar Bill
The Council promised 300 brute citizens of the town to condemn the land and use it as a playground if the matter is brought to court.
Hopkins started operations at the colony last Tuesday and before the work had gone very far a crowd had collected and began feering the colored laborers. Then the people of the town marched to the office of Municipal Superintendent John Castles and demanded that he put a halt to the building operations.
Early Thursday someone set fire to a 10-foot cross in the lot. A fire alarm was sounded and hundreds of residents flocked to the scene to dance and sing about the fire cross.

Accused Of Theft of $81 by Friend
Bill
Basing his complaint on the evidence of a one dollar bill, William Bowden, laborer, charged his friend, Charles Farra, also of the same address, of stealing $1 from him while he was usleep.
Arraigned in the Washington Heights Court on the charge Monday morning before Magistrate Edward Weil, Farra was held in $1,000 hall for Special Sessions.
```markdown
```
Bowden testified that he went to bed during the afternoon and left his roll of money in his trousers' pocket. Several hours later he was awakened by lodgers in the same apartment. On dressing he first missed his money, he said. Some time later, he declared, Farra came to him and asked him to play poker. After consenting to do so, Bowden said that the defendant pulled out a $1 bill and asked him to change it for him. Because some one had previously written names and numbers on the bill that he had in his possession, Bowden said that he recognized the bill as being one off his roll. He then remarked to the defendant that he had a lot of nerve to ask him to exchange money that had been taken from him.
The complainant then went to the West 135th street station and reported his loss to Detective Boyden, who placed Farra under arrest.
Bail Denied Russian Accused of Robbery
Bail was denied Meyer, Frank, 34, a Russian, 7 W. 118th street, who was accused of acting in concert with an unknown man who robbed an aged Chinese laundryman, when he was arraigned in the Washington Heights Court, Monday morning. He was held for Special Sessions.

Raid in Front of Lafayette
Cops Will Help to Keep Seventh Avenue Clear of Hangers on, 'Tis Said
Arraid by members of the Police Department staged one night last
The raid was staged on a group of young men in front of the Laâyette Theatre, where, afternoons and evenings, a motley array of "young bloods" have been in the habit of congregating. It is charged by many residents of the section that insulting remarks have been hurled at young women passing the theatre, and the "show of force" by the cops was staged to act as a warning.
It is claimed by the management of the theatre that there are many drivers not far from the house, which has a good deal to contribute to the unsavory conditions in the neighborhood. For a long time 152d street, near Seventh avenue, has been known as one of the most dangerous spots to leave an automobile, as thieves have stolen tires and other things from cars parked there.
The better class of people here will readily applaud the Police Department for the activities shown in trying to clean up one of the plague spots. The cops can, at least keep the hangers-on moving, and those refusing should be immediately given the "bums rush." Of course, not all those in the habit of parking in front of the Lafayette are known to have joined in the insults of young women passing the place, but since the warning has been issued it would do all hands much better to find something better to do than hanging around the front of the Lafayette.
The Prohibition Agents can also find enough to do in the immediate neighborhood if they so desire, for, within a radius of a few blocks, it is said that some of the wisest liquor is being dispensed, not only to the law-breakers resident here, but to a number of performers playing houses in Harlem.

"ENJOYING RIGHTS," SAY OPERATORS Police Start Raids on 7th Ave. "Hangers On"
Ocean and Cator avenue, Jersey City, N. J.
Mr. Smith has spared no pains and has left no stone unturned to make this the grandest affair he has ever given. His many friends and patrons are just waiting to dance to the tuneful melodies of his famous Versatile Orchestra.
It has been rumored that Broadway Jones of the famous Bamville Club will be on hand with his staff of entertainers.
Lincoln Theatre Offers Powerful Story
Hailed as a "different" picture of the great outdoors, "Mantrap," which will open at the Lincoln Theatre Thursday, furnishes something distinctly novel in pictures. "Mantrap" is a powerful love story which ripples with the humor and satire of its distinguished author, Sinclair Lewis, who will be remembered for "Main Street." "Babbitt" and "Arrowsmith."
It is the tale of a Summer camping trip taken by Percy Marmont, a young New York lawyer, who is tired of listening to women clients asking for divorces; and a stocking manufacturer, Engene Pallette, who proves to be nothing but a grand "Babbitt" at large on a camming trip.
Of course, Marmont doesn't get away from women, love triangles or marital infidelity by going to the Canadian woods. Instead he finds himself drawn into a domestic love situation as one of the principal characters.
"Miss Nobody" at Renaissance Theatre Thursday
For the Week-End the Management Will Offer Betty Compson in "The Wise Guy"
It's a bad thing to be broke but to be beautiful with it is even worse. Woven around those eventualities is a bright, breezy motion picture. "Miss Nobody," which comes to the Renaissance Theatre Thursday and Friday, September 2 and 3. Starring Anna Q. Nilsson, the picture carries an all star cast including Walter-Pidgeon, Louise Fazenda, Arthur Stone, Mitchell and Clyde Cooke. This is a drama that calls you to the faraway places like the haunting wall of a train siren at night and is one that all will enjoy who see it.
For the week-end, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September 4, 5 and 6, the attraction at the Renaissance Theatre will be "The Wise Guy" with Mary Astor, James Kirkwood and Betty Compson. "The Wise Guy" is a rollicking, laughing picture with a meaning that all will appreciate. The old time hawker of medicine, the blonde baby from Hawaii and the general funny scenes are such that this picture might easily be classed as one of the most entertaining ever shown on the screen.
That the Renaissance can hold its claim as the favorite theatre is attested by the good crowds that pack the place for every screening notwithstanding the warm weather.

Shapiro's Action Proves He Is for the Colored Op-
Local Picture Projectionists Enjoying Privileges Under Union Same as White Operators
The question of the colored motion picture operators in this community will not down, at least not until all the colored boys and the local theatres see fit to line up under the same banner.
It has recently been brought to our attention that General Manager Shapiro of the Douglas and Roosevelt Theatres has played square with the colored operators from start to finish. The promises he has made have been kept and today all the operators in the Douglas Theatre are colored.
The writer and the operators are not advocating the running out of white boys holding down operator jobs in this community, for it is not that union principles call for the slogan of "all for one and one for all," and that means that we would like to see the boys mixed in Harlem and on Broadway.
But it is natural for us to expect in this community that the colored operators will be given a square break, something it is hard to expect under existing conditions elsewhere. We do not believe in segregation and it is to be hoped that, when everything gets to running with that smoothness of well-oiled machinery, the colored operators will come into their own.
Manager Shapiro firmly believes that the colored operators should receive the same benefits as the white operators, and to that end he has shown that he is not emitting a lot of gas, like some others right now. He also appears to have returned to tell every colored person with whom they come in contact how well they think of colored people and how they are looking out for their interests.
Speaking of the conditions the other night to one of the operators, we told this gentleman that Manager Burt of the Lafayette is with the boys and, if they are really enjoying the benefits for which they have been fighting, he believes the Lafayette would gladly join the union.
"Say," said the young man, "don't let Burt continue to hand you that stuff. Burt is fully aware that the operators in the union are enjoying much greater benefits than the Negro employees at the Lafayette Theatre. With union conditions we are getting $55 a week and a day off each week, working but five hours a day. You go back and ask Burt if his operators are not working ten hours a day for much less than we are getting. In this day and time actions speak louder than Bull Durham.
"Besides," continued our informant, "you can ask Burt if his operators are not forced to put in a seven-day-a-week shift. You know a great deal of the grievances under which we are being handicap-

ped, but there's a gang of undercover stuff of which you know very little. The union knows Burt and Burt knows the union. Go on downtown and ask Local No. 308 about that stuff of Burt winning the case in court. It made us all laugh. Get the true story from the books of the union. When Burt induces Mr. Leo Brecher and Mr. Frank Schiffman to join the union and let the Negro operators get the same benefits they are enjoying at some of our other theatres, it will be time for him to shout about being the Negro operators." Phew! That was rather hot stuff and we'll have to see Burt about it. We do not know Mr. Shapiro personally, but since we jumped into help our own colored people in the fight for recognition and those same colored men came to us and told us that Shapiro has done the right thing by them, it is natural that we would extend the hand of fellowship to this man, who says very little but has apparently done a great deal. More power to him!
Governor Ross Favors Message in Picture
"Her Honor the Governor"
Comes Here for Big
Three-Day Showing
An interesting commentary on the timeliness of "Her Honor the
Governor," the F. B. O. film playing
the New York theater September 4, 5 and 8, and starring
Pauline Fredericks, is made by one
of America's two women Governors,
Nellie Ross of Wyoming.
"Her Honor the Governor" deals with the place of the American woman in politics, and particularly with the relationship between the maternal instinct and political duty. The manner in which this relationship was depicted on the screen called forth Governor Ross's hearty praise. Mrs. Ross viewed "Her Honor the Governor" at a special preview arranged for her and was obviously moved by Miss Frederick's performance. The famous "Wyoming luminar, framed by the sun," which serves to uphold integrity of public office, as this picture does, is a worthy one.
Not the least fascinating part of "Her Honor the Governor" is that which deals with the woman Governor's battles against the political "bosses" of her State.
Josephine Baker Continues to Make Good in Europe
Writing on the current "Polles-Bergere" in Paris, E. E. Cummings, in the September "Vanity Fair," asserts of Josephine Baker, a colored dancer and singer, that she is the latest and most astounding development of the Parisian revue.
"As a member of the 'Chocolate Dandies' chorus," writes Mr. Cummings, "she resembled some tall, vital, incomparable fluid nightmare, which crossed its eyes and warped its limbs in a purely unearthly manner—some vision which opened new avenues of fear, which suggested nothing but itself, and which, consequently, was strictly aesthetic. It may seem preposterous that this terrifying nightmare should have become the most beautiful (many) star of the Parisian stage. Yet such is the case."
In the present spectacle Mr. Cummings describes Miss Baker's "get-up" as consisting of "a few bananas and too much jewelry." He continues:
"Herself is two perfectly fused things: an entirely beautiful body and a beautiful command of its entirety. Her voice, is simultaneously uncutch and exquisite—luminous as only certain dark volces are luminous—is a distinctly a part of this body as are her gestures, which emanate a spontaneous or personal rigidity, only to dissolve it in a premeditation at once liquid and racial."

DOES vulgarity pay? Most persons you might ask such a question would wonder to themselves whether you were joking. There exists very little sentiment, either among the low or the high classes or our society, to support the belief that cash can be realized from an open and expressed disregard for decency. But, strongly enough, we do have friends who believe that they are part of their trade. And these friends are not unintelligent—those successful in their fine and have proved themselves all-around, progressive citizens.
Who are they? They are successful comedians in theatres catering to colored trade. These houses are now at about as low a grade as is possible for them to get and remain open. Indecency in not being poked because of the public's dislike of a black public from what may be offered. Many things get by which shortly come to death in a white house. As a result, respectable Negroes in larger and larger numbers feel compelled to stay away from what might be called their hearts. Theaters are not welcome if wife or daughter are present. There is such that he doesn't usually try to see. Only the worst elements in our group go.
The dirty Negroes who are performing as comedians have become so conspicuous by their Indecent and obscene lines that it is not necessary that to name them. They excuse themselves always on the ground that the audiences want dirt. They point to years of experience to show that they are right. Some of them are even honest enough to admit that they don't like this trade in obscenity, but do not know what to do as between it and slim box offices and rare bookings. Despite their years in the game, we don't want to agree with them. We don't want to admit that the Negro looks to his theaters on enjoyment. We don't want to believe that those elements which will not be permeated to enjoy humor of a better sort. Encouraging to come across men in the game who feel as we do about it. One of these is Norman Thomas, a former Keith Kelch performer who is now producing shows for a cabaret in his city. We asked Mr. Thomas what he thought about all this vulgarity and the necessity for it. He declared he did not believe that there is no necessity for it.
"If there was any place where it might go," he explains, "it seems as though it would be in a cabaret where most folks are supposed to come and loosen up in expectation of such. But I don't have to have to hear I find that I don't need vulgar jokes or vulgar songs or vulgar dancing."
to get my shirt. Thomas ought to know. He is a success in Chicago. He has years of success behind him. He comes from a talented family of sisters and brothers. While his mother and sisters in a little Michigan town have wondered what the boy has been doing out in the world, on the stage, he has been keeping clean. The moral in this is for those performers who don't believe as Thomas does.

Wherein "Red Hot Mama" Will Vie With the "Brown Skin Models of 1927" Next Week
Irvin Miller knew what he was doing when he called the offering holding down the boards at the Lafayette Theatre this week "Red Hot Mama." It is all of that and then some. In this age of jazz and all that loops along with it great latitude is enjoyed by our producers and Miller in this show is giving them what he hastily said one day last week is what they want. Apparently they want it. No doubt of that. On Monday afternoon they not only howled but squealed delightfully when various suggestive scenes hovered dangerously near what in the old days they would term the vulgar.
And please do not get the idea that we are inclined to be puritanical. For from it. The "peepul" demand it. Miller tells us, and being a business man, he is going to give it to them, for he is in the theatre to make money and not to preach. Yes, sir; they got off to a start that had them hanging to the seats.
The comedy of De Caston, the dancing of Billy Andrews, the singing of Gertrude Saunders and a host of other things interspersed through those scenes above spoken of conspired to make "Red Hot Mama" a sure hit for the week. Next week Miller will send in his "Brown Skin Models of 1927," and if they are anywhere near the "Red Hot Mamas" it is safe to say that Irvin will enjoy two bumper weeks. Miller is one of the most intelligent among the younger producers and if you catch him in good mood he will agree with most anything he says. But since Earl Carroll and others down on the Big Street are getting away with it, Miller believes he might as well set a pace here in Harlem. Besides, Irvin is inclined to believe that he will get as much glory from his people as if he insisted upon adhering to a line which held good before the late World War.
If Rome, before she fell, enjoyed her time any more than we are doing, then we might as well prepare for the destruction to come. London, Paris, Berlin; then why not Harlem! In spite of it all, Miller shows a craftsmanship in his presentations. way ahead of his many rivals come into the same house. His shows are well costumed; the scenery splendid, the staging fine and they all go over with a dash and snap that will serve to keep Irwin in bread thickly coated with butter for a long time to come.
Tom Moore in Comedy at the Roosevelt Theatre
Popular Player Plays Opposite Star in Her Latest, Called "The Clinging Vine" Tom Moore, the noted young screen player with an engaging personality and contagious Irish grin, was chosen to play the featured role opposite Leatrice Joy in "The Clinging Vine," her new star vehicle, which will be shown at the Roosevelt Theatre for two days, beginning Saturday, September 4. Robert Edeson also is featured in the cast.
Moore, who made a big success in "The Song and Dance Man," recently returned from an extended trip to Europe and appeared in a leading role with Pola Negri in "Good and Naughty." In "The Clinging Vine," in which he worked under the direction of Paul Sloane, he portrays the role of a lovable young dreamer, with no sense of business, while Miss Joy's characterization is that of an efficient, manhill business executive, who simulates a "clinging vine" for a particular purpose.
Appearing with Tom Moore and Robert Edeson in support of Miss Joy are Snitz Edwards, Toby Claude and Dell Henderson. The feature was adapted from the musical comedy by Zelda Sears, which ran for many months in New York and was later shown in the principal cities of the country.

His action here was not enough to warrant the drastic action of and in the matter, he sent us the following letter after Governor Pinchot deposed him as one of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission: Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 24, 1926.

I never made to him or anyone else the promise taking, and second, if Ralph Marlowe published a to him, and which I did not know had been published. Weiner called my attention to it.

may be directed by law." I was appointed as "directed by law." The excuse given by the Governor is, it seems to me, very flimsy and I would be interested and glad to know the real reason for this action on his part. I have stood by him voluntarily since he ran for the Senate against Penrose in 1914, and have done all I could to help, because I felt that he deserved it. I will not be so ungrateful as to say that he has not repaid me to the extent that I have been on the State Athletic Commission, but as I have always dealt out justice, I feel entitled to the benefits of justice now. If I had done the things which others have done in similar position, I would feel that I should be punished for them, but I am not guilty of the Governor's charges. I have not broken by promises with him. He has never threatened me with removal until in a recent letter, to which I replied a few days ago and to which he refers in his letter of supposed dismissal, and the writing of a personal letter containing nothing but the truth, and, therefore, damaging no one, in fact, is not. I think, a "misdemeanor," "misbehavior" nor "infamous crime," which can be "cause" for removal.
CHARLES FRED WHITE has been sacrificed on the altar of unfair sportsmanship nurtured by the American white people. And what can we expect in sport as we look about us? A people that refuses to rise in wrath and righteous indignation when foul murder is committed against the most loyal Americans, though they be black, can very well be expected to run true to form in everything else they do. A land sending missionaries to Africa and preaching a Christianity which her own people fail to live up to can be expected to condone an unsavory bruisers' m汁 at the seat she would hold up to the world as the "cradle of indifference and liberty."
WHITE EXPLAINS HIS POSITION
"I am seeking legal advice with a view to test the right or power of the Governor to remove a commissioner such as I without the joint action of the State Senate, when violated no law, nor committed an misdemeanor when criminal, said Charles Fred. White, recently described the portion of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission, when pressed for a statement last week.
He continued: "So many people are asking me every day what is the real reason for the Governor's visit. I am guilty of doing thing—that I feel compelled in self-defense to make this statement and to give out the information contained in my letter to August 12. I am the Governor spoke in letter of dismissal. I wrote him a letter also on the 23rd, giving him a history of the negotiations for a heavyweight championship, boxing contest in Pennsylvania since the 1960s. I wrote to him, but I suppose I would have to write a book to put forth all of the facts and discussion in the whole case. Some of the reasons might prove a useful addition to the discussion, but at least indication of dunliness and maybe worse in some of the recent negotiations of the commission.
"With the exception of the elimination of accusations of the present Dempsey fight being arranged here, the following is a copy of my letter of August 13:
"Philadelphia, Pa. §/12/25.
"Hon. Gifford Pinchot.
"Harrisburg, Pa.
"Harrisburg, Pa."
"My dear governor: I have never promised you that I would not have anything to say to you, nor would boxing, as you charge in my letter of August 11, and you have never asked me to make any such promise. Therefore, I cannot have broken my own promise. You could write us some months into that neither of us should "air our commission differences," or words to that effect, in the newspaper that you sent me. You could match that we had them, in the meetings. When we talked over the matter the last time, as referred to in your letter of August 6, nothing boxing questions. I had promised you any such thing I would have kept my promise. I think you will agree that I have never promised ever, that you would tell the truth about all matters, commission, political personal or otherwise, as I have found it.
"Under these circumstances more that I might see, but the duty of being officers, officers and public with knowledge to protect the to get at the facts, then we are all parties to any fraud while we are permitted to deal with the affairs.

NOTHING BUT CANADA LEE
Canada Lee, sensational colored welterweight of the Salem-Crescent A. C., added another victim to his long list when he outpointed Al Moskowitz of Beecher's Gymnasium after four rounds of lively milling in their bout in the 138-pound division at the Coney Island Stadium last week. At the end of the usual three rounds, Lee was entitled to the verdict, having outboxed his adversary throughout, but for some reason the judges could not agree and called for an extra period in which Lee outpointed his foe.
Lee was the aggressor from start to finish and, although Moskowitz was clever in that he would not allow Lee to catch him in a corner or against the ropes, the latter did not offer stubborn resistance. When the final verdict was announced some of the fans booed loudly and Moskowitz's seconds protested in harsh tones to one of the judges. However, the deci-
'TIGER' IGNORES DEMPSEY'S BID
That the fight being waged by colored people against Jack Dempsey because of his attitude towards a Wills fight is not wholly lost upon Walk Miller and his fighter, "Tiger" Flowers, was seen in the stand taken by Flowers when he immediately turned down Jack Dempsey's request that he help the champion (2) of the white heavyweights condition himself for the battle in Philadelphia this month.
While the "Tiger" has been a wonderful drawing card among the whites, his manager, Walk Miller, has always been desirous of Flowers remaining in the good graces of his people, and he has left no stone unturned in proving his love for the Georgia boy ever since he took him in hand.
"Walk Miller knows that Negroes all over this country would send up an awful howl if he or the "Tiger" entertained any thoughts of going into the Dempsey camp to help the famous "African Dodger" get into form for Tunney. Already Western newspapers are referring to "Big Bill" Tate as the "Uncle Tom" of Dempsey's camp. "Big Bill." It is true, has to earn his livelihood, but Negroes feel that he should at least keep his mouth shut and not help Hype Igoe of the New York World to send out the junk that only Hype could get together out of the Dempsey camp.
LINCOLN GIANTS STOP CAMDEN
The Lincoln Giants, who have been handicapped for several weeks by a slump among the pitchers, returned to their best form Sunday, August 29, and took a double header from the strong Camden Club, Dudley, the young southpaw, who had been absent for the past six weeks, returned last week and assisted his team in the games Sunday. For five innings of second game he held the visitors to two scattered hits. In the sixth inning he became wild and had to be taken out. The scores were 4-3 for the first game and 9-8 for the second.
In the first contest Arthur "Rube" Chambers of the Lincolns got the better of John "Rube" Chambers of the Camden club in a pitchers' battle. The Lincolns' Chambers pitched the best game he has pitched for a long time, holding the visitors to seven hits, while his teammates made nine. The local team held Camden to a 6-0 score until the sixth inning when Dudley became wild. Gilmore was sent in but was scarcely more effective than Dudley had been. He was taken out in the seventh inning. In the sixth and seventh innings the visitors scored 8 runs. With the score 8-7 against them the Lincolns came to bat in the ninth and staged a rally which pushed the necessary runs across.
Johnson, the first man up, singled; Tom Gee, who followed, also singled, and his brother, who batted for Finley, was given his base on balls. A long sacrifice fly by Glentaner, batted for Nutall, tied the score and the winning run was sent in through "Pep" Young's double. Earlier in the game Charlie Mason and Manager Lloyd had hit home runs.

PHILA. GIANTS IN FINE GAME
The strong West New York nine came through with a 9 to 8 triumph over the Philadelphia Colored Giants Sunday afternoon on the former's field in a hard-hitting game.
The winners started off fast, but the Quaker City lads came back strong in the closing innings and for a time looked like winners.
Heehs' fine pitching after Schwartz had been knocked from the box enabled the Jerseyites to pull out ahead.
Sneath, shortstop for the Jerseyites, made five hits out of five trips to the plate, one a triple. Perry, keystone man for the Philadelphia aggregation, also starred at the bat with three singles. His teammate, Jackson, made a like number of safeties.
McDonald, the second pitcher for the visitors, hurled an exceptionally fine game, allowing but one run in the four innings that he was on the mound.

Salem Fighter Again Victorious
Rickard Threatens to Have Phila. Chairman of Commission Removed
Thereby Raising the Question Whether He Had a Fist in Inducing the Governor of Pennsylvania to Remove Charles Fred White
(Special Correspondence N. Y. Amsterdam News.)
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 30—The people of Philadelphia and surrounding territory are now convinced that the stand taken by the sporting editor of The Amsterdam News has for its base the knowledge disclosed in his discussion of the barring of Willis, the Dempsey-Tunney fight, the removal of Charles Fred White, and, what is now most apparent, the reasons for his ire against Tex Rickard.
UNEEDA Malts --- Hops Grains MALT PRODUCTS Bottles and Bottling Supplies 2695 Eighth Ave. (N. W. Cor. 143d St.). EDGECOMBE 6199
They almost drove Tex Rickard and his so-called big fight from the state of Pennsylvania the other day when Chairman Weiner of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission and Tex Rickard, almost to blows at a conference in the offices established by Rickard here, and the latter did not hesitate to threaten to have Weiner thrown off the board for the chairman's insistence that everything must be on the "up and up" in the saving of the fight.
Welner's stand in demanding that Rickard so handle the tickets of the fight that speculators would not be able to fleece the public made many believe that he has his doubts about this end of the affair being handled in the right way. "We intend to see that this state is properly treated in the matter of ticket distribution," said Chairman Welner to Rickard, "and we are going to supervise this sale and no speculators are going to get these tickets. If it can be helped, if you don't want to agree to this then you can take your fight back to New York."
"You talk like that to me," came back Rickard. "and you won't be on the Commission in two days." But Weiner held his ground and Rickard was forced to back down and promised everything the chairman demanded, among the things being the showing of the contracts between Dempsey and Tunney, and the posting of a heavy forfeit. The question which naturally arises at this time is whether Charles Fred White's knowledge of certain shady workings in the big affair and his refusal to join in putting over the debacle on Pennsylvania had anything to do with a direct appeal to the Governor by "the interests." Apparently White was also looking out for the people of this state when he refused to join in sanctioning the fight.

RICKARD THREATENS PHILA. COMMISSIONER Lincolns Take Both Games from Camden
DON'T BET. FELLOWS!
Down at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night Chick Suggs will hook up with Bushy Graham and we are told that the winner of this contest will be declared champion of the class because of Charlie (Phil) Rosenberg, being "in bad" in this State. In other words, the bantam-weight championship will be declared vacant and the winner of tomorrow night's fight will be looked upon as the real thing.
You will note that 'the august Boxing Commission can take drastic measures among the little fellows, but in the heavy-weight division they seem to be scared of Tex Rickard. The correct action of the New York State Athletic Commission should have directed them to declare Dempsey's title vacant, because if one fighter has made them look foolish it is that same Jack Dempsey. Why go into details? Why tell of how Jack promised them he would return one day and the next found him in Delaware headed for the West? But remember this: Since the Commission will pick a logical champ from tomorrow night's encounter; it will be well to keep your dough in your pocket because CHICK SUGGS IS COLORED.
They are not going to hand Chick the honor position among the bantams if they can help it. and prize fighting being what it is, we again rise to advise you to keep your dough intact. If Suggs gets it, well and good. Be satisfied with the honor, but—oh, what's the use, can't you follow take a tip? Suggs will have to win by a mile to get it at that.

BLACK BILL WHIPS HIS MAN
Benny Marks of Brooklyn was disqualified for hitting low after twenty-one seconds of fighting in the seventh round of his ten-round contest with Black Bill, the Cuban, at the Dexter Park Stadium Monday night. The referee, Joe Bernstein, had warned Benny, in the sixth round for hitting Black a hard left hook that landed below the Bill. Bill was leading at the time of the disqualification. Benny landed many stiff jabs in the Cuban's countenance and crashing right handers, but the greater strength of the wiry Bill and ability to punch at close quarters asserted itself at all times. The seventh round had scarcely started when Marks leftely planting hook on that landed low, but with sufficient power behind it to cause any serious damage. Bernstein, without further delay, stopped the fight and awarded the decision to Bill. Marks weighed 103 and Bill 110.

THROWING OUR CORRESPONDENT INTO A DISCUSSION OF WHY NEW YORK CLAIMS THE HONOR
By ARTHUR E. FRANCIS
EYRE SAITCH'S recent victory over Ted Thompson for the National Men's Singles title at St. Louis has brought up several discussions by fans and players of more than a passing interest. Two of the most important we will treat in our article this week.
tournament games are not as much as they will be later on, and the game is not as popular as it will be in years to come, but we feel that a part of the expenses should be advanced to players with a national ranking up to No. 10, contesting in any invitational tourna-
THERE are some who contend that the honor in a victory of this kind goes to the city in which the winner resides, while others are of the opinion that the honor is a purely personal one. These arguments are used invariably by persons discussing the advisability of sending players to contest in tournaments, f. e., assuming part or all of the financial obligations of such a trip. These arguments are not had in the narrow sense of debate, but rather in a helpful effort to enhance the game.
IT is our opinion that the national honor is chiefly a personal one, which at the same time reflects on the locality the player comes from. No one will deny that the city of Philadelphia feels a certain pride in the wonderful achievements of Bill Tilden, nor that Yonkers basks in the tennis sunshine of Vincent Richards' vizardry of the courts. Since this is so, we feel that the honor is shared jointly by the player and the locality in which he lives, and New York should feel justly proud and elated at the victory of National and Eastern Champion Eyre G. Saitch. This victory is more important through the fact that it is the first brought to the Empire City in the history of organized tennis among our people, even though we have had quite a large share in building up the sport.
WE can see no good reason why the expenses of a top notch player should not be paid when he plays in a tournament where an admission fee is charged. The players in question are drawing cards, and their ability and popularity add to the gate receipts. In nearly all other American athletic sports the champions' and near champions' legitimate expenses are paid. We contend, however, that these expenses should be paid by the club or association who is conducting the tournament which, with the exception of the nationals, are all invitational events. We do not admit that Negro tennis is ready to accept this in a large measure, because the admission charges to

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 1, 1926
tournament games are not as much as they will be later on, and the game is not as popular as it will be in years to come, but we feel that a part of the expenses should be advanced to players with a national ranking up to No. 10, contesting in any invitational tournament.
THE National Championships may be excepted in this plan, since we feel it is not an invitational event within the meaning of the word, but the A. T. A. could spend the money taken in at these games in a worse way than by sharing the expenses of their best players who by some sacrifice or other get up to the positions of merit, in tennis, a position that adds to the receipts of the A. T. A. We expect to hear a big squawk from those that disagree with us, but we have to come to it sooner or later if we are to build up the game. This can't be done without the support of the public, and we must give them the best exhibitions if we are to interest them. To do this we must have the best players to enter our competitions.
A PLAYER told me recently: "You'd have a nerve to keep on advocating the driving game over the chop stroke now that Saitch has followed Thompson as national champion"; to which we replied then as we will say now, if we as a race are to take our place in the future alongside of other races in tennis we must do so based on the foundations of the driving, all courts game, as played by the majority of ranking players of the world. Thompson's and Saitch's victories notwithstanding. Thompson and Saitch have both developed their chop and slice stroke games to a remarkable degree, but do not let us forget that they both have improved their game the past two years with the addition of a forehand drive.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 25.—George Cook, of Australia, and John Lester Johnson, New York heavyweight, battled eight rounds to a draw here last night. Johnson, the superior boxer, established an early lead, but weakened from Cook's body blows in the later rounds and the Australian earned an even break
Nothing to It
Harry Willis, only logical challenger for the heavyweight championship, was discharged in the Washington Heights Court when Magistrate Albert Vitale dismissed a complaint charging violation of the corporation ordinance in accepting a price of admission to sparring matches without a permit, which had been brought against Willis and several others connected with the Billy Grupp gymnasium at 116th street and Eighth avenue.
Detective Caravetta of the Sixth Inspection district testified that he had paid 25 cents admission to see several sparring matches in which Wills participated. He got out a summons for Wills, Lew Paluso, Lew Hurley and Homer Campbell, Peter Neba and Samuel Shack, their respective sparring partners, and William Martin and Frank Morris, timekeepers, and Grupp.
Not So, Brutus!
AS we looked at Harry Grb Thursday night, Aug. 19, in Madison Square Garden we came to the conclusion that Pittsburgh simply lived up to its reputation for producing some hard boiled customers in sport.
PERHAPS being beclouded by the unusual amount of smoke which darkens its skies, sportsmanship has always been at a low ebb in the city which Rollo Wilson almost made famous.
LOOK you now when basketball was at its height both here and in Pittsburgh. The Smoky City boasted one of the best basketball teams made up of colored players in the world, but they always drove a hard bargain in every game in which they appeared here.
SUPPORTERS of the Pittsburgh team used to come to Manhattan Casino with guns strapped around them, not knowing that the cosmopolitan gathering in our casinos would never mob an outside team. They have gone so far as to have a henchman grab the timekeeper's watch when they found themselves on the losing end of a contest.
GREB showed all the earmarks of a true Pittsburghian that Thursday night. Realizing that he could not win from Flowers by fair means he resorted to every foul trick in the category of prize fighting. To our way of thinking it was the most sorry spectacle that could have been presented before his white supporters.
EVEN the Nordics could not stand some of his stuff and hissed and hooted him at one time, but that did not prevent them from losing sight of the wide margin of points piled up by the Tiger when Greb made a last minute and dying effort in the 14th and 15th rounds. Greb simply carried on as if he was doing all the fighting, but it was mere camouflage as he had as much fight. This was when a certain contingent of underworld Democrats threatened to blackjack us for trying to collect a bill for the advertising space they had used in this paper.
WHEN Paddy Mullins called Jack Dempsey a liar and a big rat, he simply voiced the opinion of thousands of people all over the country and had Dempsey made the mistake of swatting the Clam of the Gowanus Harry Wills would have fought the biggest coward of the heavyweight division for nothing. They can't even taunt, insult or cajole Jack Dempsey into the ring with Wills. Had the Boxing Commission meant to be fair in its dealings with the Dempsey-Tunney-Wills embroglio, the moment they had scanned the contracts signed by Dempsey to fight Wills they would have denied the so-called champion his appeal to fight Tunney.
EACH and every one of those contracts carry jokers. Dempsey showed his cowardly instincts when he had inserted in these contracts clauses where his fight with Wills would be for ten rounds only and the title would not be involved, unless he was knocked out. Dempsey's scheme, he met Wills outside of New York, was to enter the ring and make a fight to the limit by holding and other tactics known to foul and craven fighters. Wills signed the contracts because he felt certain of knocking out Dempsey and he knew that the conditions were the only ones under which Dempsey would fight him.
AND what sins are committed in the name of CHARITY. Instead of keeping as far away as possible from Muldoon and his kind, right now we have some kind of a charity organization going before the Irish Dook to get a permit for Tiger Flowers to appear in a benefit match. Do you see at what we are aiming? Muldoon and Brower will gladly give their consent to make it appear that they are honest-to-goodness interested in us and their action against Harry Wills is not actuated by prejudice. Well, there's one consolation.
THE superior Nordic whipped Gans when he suffered from the ravages of consumption. The same
thing held good in the case of Dixon, who dissinated right up to the night he hit the title. Sullivan, so sociolated great, had the fear of all the gods in his heart whenever he heard the name of Peter Jackson. They drove Jack Johnson out of the country and made him give the title to Jess Willard, the biggest ham of all the world's heavyweight fighters. They only allowed Tiger Flowers a chance at Greb because they thought the Tiger was "burned out" by his many battles, and now they are denying Chick Suggs and Harry Wills a fair chance because they are not old enough or sick enough to make sure they would lose when plitted against their best. Sure they are superior. Superior by right of overwhelming might. Superior by virtue of mob tactics, but not man to man.

SUGGS AGAIN IN GARDEN FIGHT
Matchmaker Jess McMahon at Madison Square Garden, continues his plan to give the colored mitt-pusher a chance when he offers Chick Suggs against Bushy Graham at Madison Square Garden this Thursday night. McMahon has adhered to the policy of pre-
senting worthwhile fighters of color ever since he has been in the game.
The fact that Charlie (Phill) Rosenberg, world's bantamweight champion, had all he could do to defeat Pete Sarmiento last Friday night in Chicago will help to direct attention to the fight between Suggs and Graham here Thursday night.
Less than a month ago Suggs fought the same Sarmiento and gave the Philippine boy an awful lacing. Suggs won every round without extending himself, and the
giants Lose to
est N. Y.
signs point to his defeat of Sra-
ham in the feature event at the
Garden. Bushy has been one of
the strongest contenders for the
crown worn by Rosenberg and the
metropolitan newspapers have
been howling for a chance for
Bushy.
We need not remind readers of The Amsterdam News that Chick Suggs is the most logical contender for a chance at the headpiece worn by Rosenberg. He has been proving this for the past year, and opponents that Rosenberg has been put to the hardest trouble to defeat the colored fighter has been bowling over with ease. If McMahon can induce Rosenberg to enter the ring with Suggs, we are certain the championship would change hands. But, then, Suggs is colored and one must remember that Tat Rickard won't be so anxious to back up his matchmaker in trying to arrange such a fight. A mildure-Wills-Dempsey mess, wot?

Hatred to Win Re
Fraternal Conventions
THE month of August is fast coming to be looked upon as the month of conventions for Negro fraternal organizations. Not that it matters a great deal what month is selected, but the policy of holding a yearly meeting of brothers of kindred thoughts brings to mind a summary of what has been accomplished—if anything. Because some men frown upon organizations of a fraternal nature does not affect the status of the handshaking group in the least. Those men may have very good reasons for holding themselves aloof, while others might present an equal number of advantages to accrue from the fraternizing process. And the latter ones apparently being in the minority, we cannot do other than recognize the fraternal groups as a part of our civilized scheme.
Overlooking the huge expenditure of money each year for transportation purposes (which is a mighty big item to overlook), we will confine ourselves to the fraternal brother in his home town. Is he, after all, a brother, even to those who have accepted the same oath? Is he a credit to other brothers? Is his moral conduct what it should be? Is his deportment in public places and conveyances such that any brother would be proud of? Assuming that he has church connections, have they been made in good faith? Is he interested in civic affairs as a decent citizen or is he merely a cog in the corrupt political machine?
It might be argued that matters of this nature do not come within the scope of fraternal orders. But we contend that they should be included, if for no other reason than that the fraternal order is one of the largest units representing the organized Negro. And, being in this position, it should have greater power and bigger responsibilities than church auxiliaries or class organizations.
If the fraternal order is the true exponent of brotherly love, then it should be the most efficient medium for development of character in its brothers. This duty has been shirked on more than one occasion, and at present is being considered in a tentative way—if at all. Proof of this statement is borne out by the fact that a majority of the law-breakers among Negroes have connections with one or more of the brotherly units.
Financial handicaps have certainly played a part in this deplorable condition, but finances (or the lack of them) have not been the sole cause. Officeholders of the ballyhoo type, seeking the glory that goes with a title and emblazoned uniform, have repeatedly made the mistake of attempting to credit their administrations with numerical increases instead of developing culture and intelligence in the original membership. They sought men, men—and more men. They got them. Nit-wits, hoodlums and degenerates came and were accepted, provided they could produce the entrance fee.
Fraternalism owes us more than a yearly pilgrimage to some distant city. It owes us a service that should aid in solving the ever-present race problem. It owes us decent members, law-abiding citizens, cultured men who disdain the use of inelegent phrases and terms as salutatory greetings to the brother on the other side of the street. It owes us honesty within its own ranks, and members who respect the sanctity of any man's home. We wonder if August, 1927, will find the fraternal brothers possessed with a broader conception of their duty to us—and themselves—Contributed.

former chairman of the State

enough Brown, as a member of the

Democratic National Convention,
helped draft a plank which character-
ized the Court and League of Nations as:
"The supreme effort of the
statesmanship and religious con-
viction of our time is to organize
the world for peace."
"Believing that with only one out of fourteen judges on the World Court, (in fact there are eleven judges and four deputies), three of whom are Negroes, the balance of power is against America, I favor withdrawal from the World Court." Mr. Brown does not mention which three members of the court are Negroes, but it is understood he is appealing in the three-cornered race for the Democratic nominee of Senator Blase. Former Senator Nathaniel B. Dial, whom Blase defeated in 1924, is the third candidate for the Senate seat.
There are no Negroes either on the regular bench of the Permanent Court of International Justice at the Hague or among the Deputy Judges. The Judges are Rafel Adamira Crevea of Spain, Dionisio Anfliotti of Italy, Antonio Sanchez de Bustamante of Cuba, Viscount Flaily of Great Britain. Bernard C. U.

Shriners Close Annual Session
Stage Brilliant Parade Through Heart of Boston
BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 31.—Some 3,000 members of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine climaxed their international convention in Boston Wednesday with a parade through the city. Many thousands of persons lined the route of march.
One of the marchers danced part of the way and other groups wheeled and executed bewildering maneuvers as they went along.
One of the big hits was "Sahara Lizzie," otherwise known as William Dorman. Resplendent in yellow, purple, blue and orange, with weird sleeve decorations, he performed a wild dance all along the route, to the music of his own tambourine.
Charles L. Thorpe of New York, imperial marshal of the order, was in charge of the parade, in association with W.A.D. Dent, chief marshal, repelling the Boston Temple, and C. E. Dunlap, in charge of patrol formation. Charles L. Thorpe, Jr., three years old, mascot, rode proudly at the head of the Court with Casey H. C. of Charlotte, J. C. Imperial potentate, his imperial divan, and the national officers.
Syria. Temple of Boston led the parade with its band, headed by illustrious Potentate F. W. Carnean. Illustrated Deputy Howard W. Penn and Capt. R. H. Walker. The other organizations represented in the convention followed in approximately the following order:
Arabic Temple 44. Chicago: Sahara emple 2. Pittsburgh: Sinai Temple 59. Cincinnati: Azure Temple 59. Cincinnati: Azure Temple 14. Providence I. R. I. Parmid Temple 1. Philadelphia: Persian Temple. Indianapolis: Medina Temple 19. New York City: Mecca Temple 10. Washington.
Women appeared also, in a minority, riding in automobiles, as representatives of the Daughters of Isis, auxiliary to the organization.
There was a bicycle patrol of Boy Scouts and a few Girl Scouts. Shriners were also present from New Haven and St. Louis.
The parade started at Douglas square and passed along Tremont street, Massachusetts avenue. Co-op was a museum Street street. Bass con street, Arlington street, Boyston street, Dartmouth street, past Public Library, Huntington avenue, Massachusetts avenue and St. Botton street, where it disbanded.
Religion Transcript of the Emotions
New Orleans Pastor Addresses Congregational Convention in Detroit
DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 31. "Religion is a transcript of the emotion or vision of the human soul when standing alone before its Maker."
This definition was given by the Rev. W. L. Cash in an address tonight at the opening of the 11th biennial session of the National Convention of Congregational Workers Among Colored People. The Rev. Mr. Cash, who is a pastor of Central Church, New Orleans, La., is president of the convention and also assistant moderator of the National Council of the Congregational Church in the United States. The convention is being entertained by Plymouth Church, Detroit, and is meeting in Masonic Temple, 632 Livingston street
A vision, which bears fruit in service, the Rev. Mr. Cash emphasized, is characteristic of the Christian religion.
"When man climbs the mount," he said, "and looks into the face of his God, he is forthwith driven and driven, and plain among the people. Christian character knows no other secret than this, vision and service.
It is an interesting fact that man's every physical activity is an effort to express in some tangible way in the world without as much as possible as that which is going on the world within. The measure of every man is measure of his vision. The man is most likely to be lovable and appreciative of the man who has the largest worth in himself; the man whose vision is the widest.
"What the world needs today is a clearer and deeper vision of the Lord Jesus Christ. In order to speak boldly and work earnestly for His kingdom, men and women must see the glory of the Christ."

Is the American Negro to Remain Black or Become Bleached?
MAGAZINE SECTION THIRD SECTION
THE Negro race to preserve its physical identity or to be bleached white within any calculable time with which we need now concern ourselves? A satisfying answer to this query would not only go a long way towards relieving the American mind of a perplexing anxiety, but would also greatly facilitate practical and acceptable plans of race adjustment. The American white man has been so earnestly engaged in volunteer assistance to Providence to keep the races apart that he has failed to notice the plain indications of the outcome under the normal operation of biological and social law. A new Negroid type is gradually emerging which clearly browshadows the immediate, if not the ultimate, physical destiny of the Negro race on this continent.
The world is now giving concern to the outcome of the contact, attrition and adjustment of the various races and nations of mankind in a more serious sense than it has ever done before. Easy transportation of material substance and the free communicability of ideas have brought the ends of the earth together in one human community. No longer do mountains, rivers and seas form fixed boundaries for human habitation. But according to the universal experience of mankind, race contact means race admixture. The primal passion of sex runs deeper than racial or cultural cleavage. Race antipathy, religious inhibition, social proscription and cultural pretensions all break down in face of the cosmic urge to multiply and replenish the earth. The laws of biology care little for the decrees of the propagandist or the sanction of priests. Historically, the admixture of races has taken place despite the prevailing social polity, and mainly outside of the marriage vow. When two races of wide-apart levels are brought together there is a mixed offspring without certified paternity. The stigma of illegitimacy is visited upon the children of natural passion unto the third and fourth generation, until the process of fusion has been completed without trace. The process of race fusion is of no sociological importance beyond the time the brand of bastardy begets an unfavorable social opinion. What boots it how the Anglo-Saxon came to be; whether the original fusion of blood was with or without the sanction of civil or ceremonial law? The important fact remains that he is what he is. The census of 1890 recorded nearly seventy thousand octoroons in the United States. Practically all of these can cross, and many of them have crossed, the great race divide, carrying with them their quotum of Negro blood. That these octoroons were begotten through the process of bastardy makes absolutely no difference in the final effect upon the blood composition of the American people. Our statesmen in their frantic efforts to keep the races apart by statutes and civil regulations should bear in mind that comprehensively, in the long run, miscegination without the law will be just as effectual as miscegination without the law of the law.
under sanction of the law. The composite progeny is always the offspring of the males of the stronger and the females of the weaker race. The sons of God never fail to look lustfully upon the daughters of men. By the instinct of male jealousy, the males of the lower or lesser breed are forbidden personal or social intimacy with the females of the higher race and class. The same law of sexual jealousy would impel the males of the inferior order to give like shelter and protection to their own womensfolk, but they lack the power to give their purpose force and effectiveness.
The dominant white sentiment in America abinates race admixture so far as the European and the African are concerned. Indeed, this is the general attitude of the white towards the non-white portions of the human race, which is most assertive in the Northern European or Nordic type. This feeling has been greatly accentuated in America since the end of the World War. Rabid propaganda has been stimulated and fostered. The resources of science have been ransacked for proof of the evil effect of race fusion. The discarded argument based upon an exploitation theory of divine purpose has been resurrected and made to do service for the new propaganda. Men are ever prone to interpret facts to sustain their notions and to fashion their opinions to suit their prejudices. While science has given no final word as to the effect of race intermixion upon the physical, intellectual and social stamina of the offspring, the rabid advocates of race purity are asserting the benevolent asses of crossing with the scientific authorities of the scientific attitude. The physical sensibility of the race is stronger than one possesses the dogmatic dominance which dominates the American mind today, its sanction is stronger than that of science law or religion. Race consciousness is growing keener years. Physical distinction comes for more than cult or creed. The test of an ennobling brotherhood is determined by birth of the flesh rather than birth of the soul. The white Christian must by the essential requirement of his creed assent to the doctrine of the equality of the soul, but he stubbornly balks at the suggestion of social equality. All sorts of devices are used to keep races physically separate and socially asunder. Twenty-six states have passed anti-misogynia laws. Separate schools
and jimcrow regulations are made in the southern states where the Negro resides in greatest relative proportion. Custom and tradition forbid social intermingling by a sanction stronger than law. The Mongolian is placed under the same han as the Negro. Facts can always be found and arguments fashioned to support dominant opinion. If the undesirable element is black, like the Negro, it must be excluded on the ground of inferiority which govern general debasement. If it be yellow, like the Japanese, it meets with like treatment on the grounds of suspected equality, or even superiority. So feeble is the force of logic against the avowed dominant purpose. The continuance of this intolerant spirit in the part of the white race in America is as certain as any other social tendency concerning which we now have predictive data. It is with this attitude that we have to deal and against which, as a background, we must project all projects and plans for better race relations.
The white man is primarily responsible for whatever race crossing has already taken place, or that threatens to take place in the future. Emerson somewhere says that no man can come near me except by my own act. The Negro woman has been victimized. The approximation of the races is the result. Should the white race issue a decree enforceable upon every member of that blood, that there shall be no further intermingling of the races, the process would instantly cease. But instead the burden of blame will be placed on the victimized race which bears the brunt of all. One is again reminded of Aesop's wolf, accusing the lamb of muddying the stream from the lower level. There would be no need of drastic legislation, passionate assertion of determination, rabid propaganda and aroused rancor of race, if the white man's race pride could control his sex passion. But this is perhaps placing too great an inhibition upon human nature. Penelope, the wife of Ulysses, in the Odyssey kept her suitors in indefinite suspense by promising to render a final decision when she had completed her mission. But the budding fidelity of her heart and the cunning of her mind led her to unravel at night the newly knitted section of the preceding day. The answer was delayed until the return of her faithful spouse. The white man defeats by his lustful indulgences by night all

of his finely spun theories of race purity elaborated by day.
The fact that sex urge is a deeper and more profound instinct than race preference, or race pride, should lead to serious reflection as to the permanence of race consciousness as the dominant influence in human relationships. Nor is this the only passion that often rises above the distinctions of race, Politics and patriotic faith and religious zeal when even enriched a force sublubbness that swept away all barriers of flesh and blood. The rise of Islam and its threatened renaissance show the possibility of the dominance of the spirit over the flesh.
The basic principle of Christianity requires detachment of devotion and a strength of discipline which transcends all racial animosities and antagonisms. The religion of the Nazarean, in its pure essence, recognizes neither Jew nor Greek. Barbarian nor Scythian, bondmen nor freemen. Christianity is absolutely incompatible with caste or color.
The attempt to reconcile the gospel of Jesus with the Nordic is a serious reflection upon the spiritual capacity of the Teutonic race, whose genius for concrete practical accomplishments is to be extolled beyond all praise. Spiritual kinship transcends all human and social relations among mankind.
In regarding the spirit of race intolerance as a fixed stubborn trait which conditions our present day policies, let it always be understood that we are dealing only with the present and the glimpse of future time now vouchsafed to us. Human shortsightedness cannot envisage the far reaching future. Our wisest foresight, like the head light on an engine, can see only a few lurlongs in advance. The power of human prophecy is feeble; nor does it increase with general progress and advancement. No human being knows what a day may bring forth any more than he did in the days of Noah's Flood. Had any soothsayer predicted the present state of the world twelve years ago, he would have ranked with the amoral funnies with her and amuse us with prophecies of the end of time. We are equally impotent to foretell the political, economic or social condition of the world a short ten years hence. The sudden emergence of deep seated moral and spiritual emotional proparaganda may sweep away the sensibilities of race, and usher in a new order of things based upon more primal human passion.
All profound religious teachers and deep social thinkers base their hopes upon the social, moral and spiritual unity of mankind, as "the one far off divine event, to which the whole creation moves." According to any comprehensive and satisfying philosophy, the brotherhood of man is more fundamental than the fellowship of race. The ultimate physical and social identity of all peoples occupying earthly reality is the peculiar necessity of thought. The straight-thinking mind, free from predilections and social bias, refuses to give assent to any other conclusion. This consummation, however, is too far removed from the sphere of present day sensibilities to have much appreciable effect upon practical procedure in this prosaic, work-a-day world in which we live. We are mainly motivated by apparent, persistent, stubborn realities which we can neither defeat nor frustrate. In our helplessness we are for defense with a deal with condition; they are rather than as we wagly or vainly imagine they ought to be, or as we may cheer the hope they will be in the ages yet to come. To be regarded as a timeserver is often considered as a designation of reproach; but finite comprehension can only serve its day and generation. It requires omniscience to serve eternity. The deepest race distinctions in the world prevail, in Christendom, which recognizes neither race nor color. But a pragmatic policy must deal with existing realities with realistic abstractions. We must discuss the physical destiny of the Negro race in America, under the Christian dispensation as it prevails now on the earth, rather than according to some idealistic interpretation that has never yet been practicalized on land or sea.
In the United States the original red race is rapidly being extinguished by the encroachment of a too strenuous civilization. The yellow race is excluded by drastic immigration restrictions calculated for the white race, while white may be, with the troublesome non-white elements now on hand. The white and black races will be

the residuary constituents of the population of the continental United States. America has been called the great international melting pot in which the various nationalities of Europe are to be fused into one homogeneous type. This process, however, is supposed to include only the different branches of the Armenian race. The white race alone is deemed a worthy component of the desired compound. The non-white races of Africa, Asia, and the scattered isles of the sea, are not considered as contributory factors of the forthcoming American race. But the rejected elements are also being fused into ethnic solidarity, which is basically Negroid. There will be, not one American race, but two; the one white, and the other neither white nor black, out of brownish-yellow or a yellowish-brown.

The term Negro is used to designate a group of peoples whose maternal ancestors came from Africa. It involves all of the complexities of blood and varieties of color of the entire human family. There is no race variety on the face of the globe that is not represented through some trace of its blood in this new Negro type, now in process of fusion. While the term Negro denotes color, it also connotes condition and status. The social segregation of the Negro race, together with all who bear marks of physical semblance thereto, is made easy by reason of its traditional servile relationship. The color line constitutes the deepest and most easily distinguishable line of cleavage in our cosmopolitan population. All elements of color are consciously and agreeably solidified by appeal to the antithetic colored race. In Europe, where they have no such racial antithesis, intra-racial divisions and strife are far more sharp and acrimonious. The division of mankind into Jew and Gentile, Greek and Barbarian, Christian and Heathen, white and colored, rests upon the basis of contrasted cultures. Those who belong to the higher assumption feel themselves drawn closer together by reason of the superior

WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A WOMAN?
Womanhood has gained the ballot—and freedom? Woman is free to do as she pleases, even to the extent of going half naked and to wearing into the church of God apparel which until a few years ago was confined to the underworld. She can sit with her legs crossed or lapped, and thus expose herself without the censure of the days when "No lady would cross her legs"; and her new freedom includes the privilege to smoke, and drink and still be respected (?). Women nowadays can surrender to Bohemianism, taunt conventions, disregard safeguards, engage in petting parties, shameless sex associations, coarseness of speech and other things which formerly were taboo, and there is little if any comment or censure. This new freedom was expressed by one of its votaries as follows: "Now we can do as we doggone please, and it is nobody's business."
Yes, woman has gained the freedom to live her own life unmolested, pursue her own course without interference, defy public opinion, and be a law unto herself. This is what she has gained, but, as in all other things, there are two sides to this question, and the other side is not to be omitted in the equation. As in other things, also it is necessary to consider woman's losses as well as her gains, then to draw the line and strike the balance in order to determine profit or loss.
In this change, by means of the intimate association with things hitherto objectionable, woman's nature has become coarsened and her moral sensibilities deadened. She has lost her modesty, a quality of inestimable value in the preservation of her own chastity and the retention of the respect of men. She no longer has the courage to resent advances, because she knows that by her dress and her conduct she invites and encourages advances. Largely she has lost respect of men and the finer courtesies they once were wont to accord her as due her sex; and worse than all, she has lost the confidence men used to have in her integrity, her sincerity and her chastity.
God intended that woman should be a queen, and from time immemorial man has been inclined to accord her this honor, but, by the exercise of this new freedom she casts herself down from the throne. Let us sum up what woman has gained, calculate her loss, and then strike the balance. Then will be answered the question: What shall it profit a woman if she should gain the whole world of freedom (?) and lose her throne, her worship, her power and her influence for good? Then the phrase might be complete by the question: "Or what can she give in exchange for her womanhood?"
conceit which lifts them above the level of the baser groups that fall without the circle of their coveted enoblement: The phrase "white and colored" is relied on for the expressive expression which distinguishes the creature from his less favored and more fortunate fellow creatures.
The American Negro does not constitute a race in the sense of a compact ethnic unity, imbued with a common consciousness and impelled by a common impulse. There is no sufficiently unified physical basis as a background for the emergence of a collective soul with the passion and stubbornness to compel co-ordinated action and persistent procedure. There is rather a promiscuous assortment of individuals, with dispositions spatially dispositions actuated by the antagonistic instincts of the lashmate. The imported slaves represented disjected and expatriated individuals, captured from wide apart areas of the African continent, and representing tribes that differed widely in cult and color. The process of transplantation covered the period of two centuries. The enslaved captives, if they had ever acquired, had doubtless lost a patriotic devotion to country and native land; there was no reason for the strong injustice involved in their capture, enslavement and expatriation. For the most part they were slaves or captives in their native land. To them, crossing the ocean was merely shifting the scene of their misfortune from one continent to another.
Psychologists tell us that group consciousness, emerges, most readily and is most casually sustained on a basis of physical likeness. The wide distribution of the African slaves in time and space and the vastly varying social circumstances of their native land, made of them an aggregation of irrelated assortment of unfortunates, united only by the commonality of their somewhat similar color. These unfortunate children of nature were divested of every semblance of self expression and development, along the line of their

natural bent and genius. The allen master directed every move they-made and controlled the channels of intra-communication. Wherever two or three of them were gathered together, a white man was placed in their midst to contour their spontaneous council and to frustrate the formulation of a common purpose. There never was more unpromising material and untoward circumstances out of which to build up and develop a race.
The white race began, to mix its blood with that of the Negro with the handling of the first shipboard at Jamestown. From that day to this the sun has never set and risen without the reinforcement of European blood in African voles. In the beginning, this blindinous miscognition was wholly without social consciousness. It was only when a considerable body of mulattoes appeared that the philosophers and statesmen of that day began to animadvert upon the possible future jeopardy of a half-caste issue. Even now, the effect that the absence of the mulatto might have had on race relations is a matter of curious but interesting speculation. We are told in Greek mythology that Father Chronos deferred the offspring of his last in order to avoid further misuse of the white race in America. The white race sought the same endyly relegating the mixed issue to the status of the mother's race. This legal purge, for the time being, to keep the white race legally pure while mixing the black race. But here again the inescapable laws of biology proved to be stronger and more effective than the cunning legal contrivance of man. The Latin races, on the other hand, incorporate the composite progeny into the dominant race, which becomes frankly mixed, ostensibly leaving the lower and weaker element pure. The immediate effect of the pragmatic policy of the Teuton proves to be more agreeable to his asserted pride of race; but in the cosmic scheme of ethical requirement, the time must come for a reckoning for the awful sin of imposing consequences to his burden of race upon another. Theodore Roosevelt, in one of his contributions from South America, raised the query as to whether the Teutonic or the Latin policy would lead sooner to final and satisfactory race adjustment. But like Pontius Pilot, in his query as to the nature of truth, he did not vouche safe an answer. The Negro woman is made to bear the brunt of all of the races, nations, and varieties of mankind now living or sojourning in this country.
In the veins of the so-called Negro race there courses some strain of the blood of every known subdivision of the human family. Not only within the limits of the same race itself, but within the veins of the same individual, strains of blood are mixed and mingled in inextrible confusion. Indeed, if there be such a thing as natural race antipathy, the Negro race would be rent asunder by internal and external animosities.
The physical destiny of the Negro race is not immediate amalgamation with the white race, but the blending of these diverse bloods into something like physical homogeneity, and the formulation of a group consciousness upon a substantial basis of physical solderity. If this was not a normal tendency, enlightened race statesmanship would make it a conscious policy. The integrity of an outcast and an enlightened race does not and never can be preserved. The Negro in America will either be bleached by hastily or destroyed through debauchery unless it develops a leadership and an amor propre, proudly conscious of its place and mission in the general scheme of human advancement. The Jewish race has preserved its physical purity through four thousand years, though densely crowded and environed by an unfriendly Gentile world. And yet the unsanctioned overflow of Hebrew blood has enriched the veins of every race and among whom the people have dwelt since the days of Abraham. The integrity of the breed, however, has been maintained by religious sanction rather than by any biological promptings or physical racial instinct.
The quickest and perhaps the easiest solution of the race problem in America would be the immediate physical absorption of the Negro element into the white race. Were the quantum of black blood evenly diffused throughout, the resulting blend would average the white person, the black would meet the legal definition of white person in several southern states and would represent as slight a strain of Negro blood as
can be traced with any scientific or practical certainty. There is no proved precedent or convincing argument that the physical, intellectual, or moral result would be deteriorative. This result, however, is not probable and hardly possible. in face of the fixed and determined attitude of the white race which controls the situation. Nor would it be the most helpful solution, so far as the world problem is concerned. The adjustment is concerned. To absorb a handful of Negroes in America and leave the unbleached millions of Africa in their savage blackness, would be to deepen the gulf of racial cleavage as a world problem. It would be worse than useless from a sociological point of view for the whites of the Pacific Coast to absorb the few hundred thousand Mongolians now sojourning in their mist, and leave the half billion yellow Asiatics confronting them from the outside. If there is any divine purpose in working out the universal plan of racial amity and good will throughout the world, it would not be promoted by the immediate amalgamation either of the Negro or the Mongolian fragments now living in America.
The attitude of the Negro race towards amalgamation can have only a negative effect. The more anxious he seems to bring about amalgamation, the more certainly will he help to defeat its consumption. The weaker race can destroy its separate identity only by a process of complaisant prostitution, whose ethical implications are too repugnant to be contemplated as a serious racial policy. The American society pressed by outside compulsion to maintain his social and physical identity, independent of any purpose or policy on his part. The Negro will thus become one with himself long before he becomes one with the American people.
While we muse, the fire burns. A new sub-race variety is forming under our very eyes. The future Negro race in America will be neither black nor white, but a yellowish-brown with albicant tendency. The federal census shows unmistakably the direction in which the wind is blowing. The mulatto element has steadily increased over the black from the earlier decades to the present time. Strictly speaking, the term Mulatto includes only the first offspring of Negro and European parentage; but according to census definition it includes all Negroes with a perceptible trace of white blood. Done allowances must be made for discrepant definition of the black from the ability or inclination of the enumerators to differentiate finely as to shades of color and degrees of blood composition. The Negro himself can furnish no trustworthy data. Frederick Douglass used to say that genealogical trees did not flourish among slaves. The census of 1890 defined as "black" all persons having three-fourths or more of black blood. This is perhaps as close a margin as the average enumerator would be able to estimate. After passing the three-fourths limit, in case of the black quadron as of the white quadron, the individual would normally be classed with the race from which he derived the preponderance of his blood. The Fourteenth Census shows that there were 1,660,545 mulattoes in 1890 against 2,050,668 in 1910. This discrepancy may be accounted for by the probability that part of the number returned as mulattoes in 1890 were classed as white in 1920, and partly by the larger probability that many more of them had been swallowed up by the mass-life of the race and returned as black.
The rapid growth of the mulatto element is not due in any great degree to its inherent fecundity. The mulatto birth rate is probably lower and the death rate higher than that of the blacks, under similar conditions of living. Every fresh infusion of white blood increases the proportional strength of the mulatto element. The Negro offspring of white parentage may be regarded as a continuing, though a gradually diminishing, factor in the equation of the colored population. There is not likely to be much further fresh infusion of white blood into the Negro Uterus. Under the institution of slavery, the Negro woman was suppressed below self-respect. She often felt her enhanced importance by becoming the mother of a mulatto child. The white master or overseer felt no legal, social or conscientious restraint in victimizing the female chattel. Had this institution continued another two hundred years without fresh importation of blacks from the continent of Africa, the race would have become well bleached.
ed through this libidinous process. But the growing sense of self-respect on the part of the Negro, as well as the increasing restraints of law and conscience on the part of the white man, have checked, if not halted, this hastilizing process. The establishment of domestic des and family pride in colored society effectively forbids such illicit relations, and makes social outcasts of the illegitimate. The laws of twenty-six states forbid the use of the races, which absolutely estops legitimate mulatto offspring. The states in which the bulk of the Negroes reside are found within this number. The social sensibilities of the races have grown so delicate, even in the North, that intermarriage has become exceedingly rare, even where there were no forbidding laws. The residential segregation of the Negro will lessen the opportunity of intimate contact of the races and therefore of illicit offspring. Illicit relations will decrease in proportion to the extension of separate or racial domicile. The rise of the "advertised practice of race suicide, also serve to limit the fresh production of mulattoes. There are few mulatto babies born in Harlem, or in Philadelphia, Chicago or Detroit.
Of the 1,660,000 colored persons returned as mulettes in the census of 1920, and of more than as many more with concealed white blood in their veins, the overwhelming majority, especially of the younger generation, are offspring of colored fathers and mothers. There is already a large quantity of white blood in Negro veins. This blood tends to diffuse itself equally throughout the whole mass until it shall have assumed an approximate oneness in color and physical likeness. The process of diffusion will be greatly facilitated by the well known tendency of the darker male to mate with the lighter female. A homochrome marriage within the colored race is unusual.
The obvious proneness of the male for the lighter female is set forth by Paul Laurence Dunbar in his allusion to "the swarthy maid with her swarthier swain."
Many thousand Negroes have crossed, are now crossing, and in the future will cross, the great racial and social divide, and incorporate themselves into the white race, in order to escape the neither status of their mother blood. It is needless to denounce or condemn this clandestine tendency. They are pursuing the normal human motive of self interest and personal advantage. These racial transmigrants carry with them as much of the despised blood as can easily be concealed under an ablantic skin and unkinking hair. The white race will take only such homeopathic dashes of Negro blood as to remain substantially pure, at least in outward semblance. The transposition of the quadroon and the octooroon will tend, to widen the physical margin between the races, and will also facilitate the more rapid-diffusion of the residuary white blood throughout the Negro race.
A careful observation of Negro schools, churches, and other assemblages, in all parts of the country, convinces the writer that fully three-fourths of the rising generation have some noticeable infusion of white blood. One finds about as many children of undiluted Negro types as of the opposite extreme who cannot easily be detected from white. Both extremes, however, are rapidly diminishing in quantity, while the average of the race is approaching a medium of the opposite physical characteristics. With the next four generations it will be hard to find a pure blooded Negro outside of the remote black belts of the rural South. The near whites will have crossed the line or bred backward on the color scale. A new Negro race will have arisen.
Thus a clear indication of the physical destiny of the Negro element in America ought to enable us to deal more effectively with the complicated and perplexing problem. The welding together of this incoherent racial group into a compact physical and social unity, to awaken a race consciousness and to inspire a concerted purpose of co-operation with the larger white group in all the ways of civilization and human advancement, ought to engage the highest energies of Negro leadership and to enkillite its keenest enthusiasm for human service. On the other hand, it ought to free the white man from the frantic dread of amalgamation and race debasement which now harasses his waking hours' and haunts him in his dreams.

Flogging Quiz Kept Secret
Florida Prosecutor Refuses to Reveal Progress as Recess Is Taken
(Preston News Service.)
PALATKA, Fla., Aug. 30.—The inquiry into numerous whippings of white and black residents of this section was recessed Wednesday until next Tuesday, State's Attorney J. C. Adkins announced. The thirteenth witness examined in secrecy by Adkins was A. B. Baker, writer for the Palatka Daily News. It was believed Baker was asked to testify regarding the recent arraignment of Minnie "Teetse" Pinckney, flogged colored woman. The woman's son and another man were killed when they were bringing her home after she had been whipped by a band of masked white men. More than 50 persons have been flogged by masked mobs in Putnam County in the last 18 months, according to evidence brought out in his investigation. Colonel Adkins declared in an address before the local Kiwanis Club:
"When I hear white and Negro residents testify how they are being whipped. I wonder if I am in America." Adkins stated during his denunciation of the "hooded cowards." "I wonder if we have come to the point where we forget the principles of liberty and democracy."
Many of the witnesses he had subpoenaed told him their lives had been threatened 24 hours before they testified if they dared reveal any details of their flogging. Adkins said. Already 28 men and women, white and colored, have testified they were whipped. Adkins said.
Gale Floggers Cowards.
"They were whipped by contemptible cowards who have not the courage to show their faces." Adkins said. "The hood and mask is always the symbol or the caward."
At the conclusion of his address, the Kiwants members by unanimous vote pledged their co-operation to Adkins in his probe.
The state's attorney declared he could not divulge all information gained in his inquiry at present, but intimated murder indictments will also be sought at the next grand jury meeting. A large number of additional witnesses offered is needed for witnesses ordering them to appear when the investigation reopens next Tuesday.

The police are searching for Jack Lewis, white, 27 years old, whom they accuse of killing Robert Thomas, 45, a colored constable of 706 North Ohio avenue, during a quarrel over money matters near the Bacharach Ball Park shortly after midnight. Irving Remm, 21 years old, of Philadelphia, promoter of the Atlantic City Sporting Club, was arrested as a material witness.
The fugitive and the slain man had witnessed a boxing exhibition at the ball park and became in an attack against its close. According to the police, Lewis suddenly whipped out a pistol and fired three shots at the constable at arm's length. Two bullets pierced Thomas' heart and the third lodged in his shoulder. As he fell to the ground his assailant fled.

Recommend Dismissal of Pullman Suit
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Recommendation that the Interstate Commerce Commission dismiss the complaint of J. P. Halden, a lawyer of Chicago, who seeks $25,000 damages against the Pullman Company for alleged failure to furnish him Pullman accommodations, was made Friday by Burton Fuller, Commission Examiner.
Haiden said he purchased a ticket for Chicago, at Atlanta, Ga., two years ago, but when he asked for a Pullman ticket was ordered away from the window.
The agent denied he had ever refused Pullman accommodations to a Negro, and the examiner held that Haiden's allegation was not sustained. He added that the Pullman Company's practices in this respect "generally are not shown to be unjustly discriminatory."

MORTGAGES YIELDED
MORE THAN BONDS
WASHINGTON. — The officials and stockholders of the several life insurance companies operated and controlled by Negroes should be interested in a recent analysis made of the records of more than 200 leading life insurance companies of the United States covering a period of more than ten years. This analysis indicates that investments in real estate mortgages yielded the companies a return of 6.15 per cent gross, as against only 4% per cent from their funds in stocks and bonds. The survey included all American insurance organizations with gross assets in excess of $550,000. During the decade considered, it is seen that the real estate mortgage investments of the companies brought them in approximately a third more than the monies they placed in stocks and bonds.
1,000 Negro Voices Impress Crowd
Spirituals and Works by Negro Composers Featured
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30.—What proved to be one of the biggest musical features of the Sesqui-Centennial was presented in the stadium on August 23. On that occasion the Sesqui-Centennial Negro chorus appeared and sang the spirituals and works of Negro composers. George Leon Johnson, the internationally famous tenor, now musical specialist of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, electrified his audience in Coorick-Taylor's "Onaway, Awake, Beloved." He also sang several spirituals, including his own arrangement of "Rocky Road." This rendition excited aplause, tears and amens among the rest audience.
The Sabbath Glee Club of Richmond, Va, made an impression not only on the hearers banked in the great stadium under the canopy of a starlit summer sky, but upon the "listeners in" within reach of the Wanamaker broadcasting radio audience. Phone calls from as far as Akron, O., made repeated requests for more numbers.
F. Grant Gilmore's Sesquid-dedicated song "Crispus Attucks" was sung by the entire chorus of voices, directed by W. Franklin Hoxton, and made a decided hit.
Mr. Hoxton's directing of the chorus and arrangement of the program was highly creditable and fully justified the confidence of the Exposition officials.
An interesting feature of the newly completed facilities presents itself in the Hostess House, one of the most attractive buildings on the Exposition grounds. It is being furnished tastefully by the State Federation of Colored Women's clubs.
In the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Jena, N.J., the Court has ordered Stevens, individually and as co-operants, trading as Brown and Stevens, Alleged Bankrupts, and $300. To Depositors and Creditors; You are hereby notified that the alderman ordered decreases authorizing the payment in full of all depositors and creditors whose claims are $6.00 or less. The depositers provide that unless demand be made and Proof of Claim filed on or before November 15, 2015, and creditors whose claims are $6.00 or less will be forever barred from participating in the fund or making claim against the estate.

THE QUICKEST WAY TO FORTUNE
Have you ever heard this saying?—A dollar saved is a dollar earned. 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 you could avoid 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 sliveroom that now suppose you could devise a plan by which you could pay the amount monthly and have the landlord sign an agreement to deposit $23.33 in the bank in your name every month. Wouldn't you call yourself inky?
Well, here is your chance.
Get a 1 or 2 family 6 or 11 room hotel, lift and shower basin, enamel gaze rage, breakfast vegetables and chickens. Six mills. You pay from $500 to $250 after that amount to allow you to live your first pay. You will have at least $300 more at the end of ten years you will property, and also allowing you 20 in 10 years, you will sell your property while your next door neighbor, owns not a red brick in the building.

Sworn to uphold the law and to prevent crimes, many crimes may be laid at the doors of irresponsible policemen because of the disrespect for the law they engender.

Police Brutality
SPECIFIC PROOF of the brutality of policemen who use the uniform of the police department as a shield behind which to hide their crimes against the law and public decency was not long delayed after publication of our editorial, "The Third Degree." That same week saw Eugene Pearce removed from a cell in the Tombs prison to Bellevue Hospital for observation as to his mental responsibility. Pearce, it will be remembered, shot and fatally wounded Detective John Singer in Police Headquarters after he had been arrested and brought back to the city from New Jersey on suspicion of having stolen an automobile.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S tipping schedule for Government employees, which sets a limit of sixty cents per day, may be real Yankee economy, but it is not calculated to attract votes from those who live by gratuities. What the country needs is not a tipping limit, but a living wage for an honest day's work. This will make tipping unnecessary altogether.
FOR RIDING in a Pullman car through Florida, after she had paid the fare, a woman was arrested and jailed for a night. Tried the next morning before a county court judge, she was fined $500 and costs for violating the Florida "JimCrow" law, which amount the judge told her "happens to be the maximum penalty, or it would be more."
A FEW HOURS after Pearce was admitted to Bellevue a medical examination disclosed the fact that he was suffering from a fractured skull. How or when he received it no one now seems to know. Police Commissioner McLaughlin is credited with having made the statement that at the time Pearce was removed to the Tombs prison, following his capture, he was in perfect physical condition, and the Commissioner's statement is borne out by the facts, for shortly after the escaped prisoner was captured he made an intelligent statement of his deed to detectives at headquarters and to the press.
A MODERN BRICK BUILDING as a memorial to her two sons who were killed in the World War, from moneys received from their war risk insurance, is the noble undertaking of a South Carolina mother.
BEGINNING TODAY, Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson actively assumes the presidency of Howard University.
IT IS CLEAR that Pearce's skull was fractured while he was in the custody of the authorities after his capture and that no matter how grave his crime, the assault was cowardly and uncalled for. Dr. Otto H. Shultze, of the psychopathic ward of the hospital, has reported to the district attorney that the man is of unsound mind.
MAYOR WALKER tried to make the two hundred delegates from Mississippi feel at home in New York City. EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES
SUNDAY NIGHT saw the arrest of Patrolman Joseph A. Higgins, of the Arsenal Station, following the death in Metropolitan Hospital of Clinton De Forest from a fractured skull and internal injuries, believed to have been received at the hands of the patrolman now under arrest. What are the circumstances surrounding this later case?
From The Nation
the hundred Negro tennis players fought for a cup at St. Louis in the tenth annual tennis tournament of the United States. All these tennis players be segregated in animent? Is national tennis a white man? Why should not the best of the Negro players be involved in the national tournaments at St. Louis? Many Northern colleges make a cono to racial understanding by welcoming in football, baseball, and track; last university of Chicago had a Negro tennis team. Both in professional baseball state tennis, and in most other sports Norwegian from competition with whites. Leagues never admit even the most brute baseball player; the National Lawn Tennis is made up exclusively of white. Even in pugilism Dempsey has been at the color line to evade meeting his most rival, who happens to be a Negro. The ones have only one alternative, to develop events of their own. There are already all circuits throughout the country; near New Jersey, the Negroes of New York own country club and golf course, and is opening near Boston.
One hundred Negro tennis players fought for the Rhetta cup at St. Louis in the tenth annual Negro tennis tournament of the United States. Why should these tennis players be segregated in a race tournament? Is national tennis a white man's burden? Why should not the best of the Negro players be entered in the national tournaments at Forest Hills? Many Northern colleges make a contribution to racial understanding by welcoming Negro players in football, baseball, and track; last year the University of Chicago had a Negro tennis player its team. Both in professional baseball, non-collegiate tennis, and in most other sports Negroes are barred from competition with whites. The major leagues never admit even the most brilliant colored baseball player; the National Lawn Tennis Association is made up exclusively of white members. Even in pugilism Dempsey has been able to use the color line to evade meeting his most powerful rival, who happens to be a Negro. The colored athletes have only one alternative, to develop sporting events of their own. There are already Negro baseball circuits throughout the country; near Westfield, New Jersey, the Negroes of New York have their own country club and golf course, and a new club is opening near Boston.
WEDNESDAY, a white man who gave his name and address, reported to the Arsenal Station that he had just seen a patrolman beating a man with his fists on the West Drive at Seventy-first street. Shortly afterward a white taxicab chauffeur brought De Forest to the station and told the police that he had found the man lying in the East Drive near Seventy-first street. The man was sent to the Reception Hospital, where he died.
Catholic Priests
(From The Crisis.)
Away down in lawless Mississippi there exists today the one seminary where colored Catholics are urged and permitted to become priests. Nowhere else in the United States is it possible, without extraordinary effort, influence and pressure, for a colored man to be educated for the Catholic priesthood. Nearly all of the Catholic schools are "Jim crowed" and despite the warning of His Holiness, the Pope, and the plain word of his American representative, there is no real effort to better this situation or to give colored American Catholics their own priests.
IN WHAT WAY De Forest ran aioul of the law has not yet been disclosed, but Police Captain Mason, of the Arsenal Station, who placed Patrolman Higgins under arrest, has already come to the defense of the officer with the statement that De Forest died from blows from the fist and that if Higgins did
And the reason for this is clear; the Irish hierarchy which dominates the Catholic Church in America is defying the whole Catholic world in its attitude toward black folk.

"NIGGER HEAVEN." By Carl Van Vechten. Alfred A. Knopf. Pages 286. Price $2.50.
Reviewed by HUBERT H. HARRISON
THE author of this breach of the peace has been well and favorably known to Harlem's new and nocturnal aristocracy of "brains" and booze. He has been wined and dined by the seekers after salvation by publicity, by the pundits of "advancement" and by the white pen-pushers who manufacture retail prominence for the smart snobbies of the New York Renaissance—"New York Negro type. Model 1926."
"Nigger Heaven"—the title and the theme should be highly appreciated by Van Vechten's dusky hosts—and hostesses—over whose bottles he imbibed the conception of Harlem, which is here exhibited. To the rest of us it seems strange that one of the professional experts on the Negro should select a selling title which gives such offence to all self-respecting Negroes that even a Southerner like Octavus Roy Cohen eschews it from all his writings.
Our main concern, however, is not with the book's title but with its theme and treatment; and we are forced to reflect at the outset that two dollars and a half is pretty stiff price to pay for piffle. But we must presume that the publishers, like Barnum, knew their public. Else why should they tell them opposite the last page that the book is set in Casion type, when it quite obviously isn't? As far back as 1923, in more than a review in The New York World, I warned "ouristed writers" that if they were insulted in neglecting such human and literary minds which lie all around them they would be estopped from crying out loud when white writers dished up these viands spiced with the sauces of their own mental distortions. Well, Mr. Van Neethen has done it!
"Nigger Heaven" is an "atmosphere" story of Harlem, flanked by tone-sketches and garnished with a vicious "nigger dialect" whose sole source must be the author's mind at four a. m. after supplying—and something else. Having lived nineteen years in Harlem, roamed all its streets unchaperoned, and had a home in human types, I can speak I think, with some authority when I say that Van Vechten's dialect doesn't exist up here.
Frankly, I have never heard a Negro say "leah." "Ah doan perzakly recerlec" duh name" (182) is equally alien to me and Harlem. But V. V. is young yet. He seems to think that "the berries" is Negro, while we know that it came up from the Jewish East Side. He also tries to father "Counsellor" to boy if he had taken a real student to like him. Mr. Mencken he might have been better informed. He had heard "spaging-spagde" and guesses that it means Negro, but doesn't dream that it is "spade." Our "copasettick" which came from down South, he gets "kopasettee"—etc. etc.
The story in "Nigger Heaven" is not easy to summarize, because the book is so much else besides the story in it. The author sets out to paint Negro Harlem society; and his first exhibit is an impossible figure of a ruthish female who goes out to buy a pimp with as little tact and "romance" as one exhibits in buying apples.
Some years ago the Maharani of Baroda, in a last interview before she left these shores, did declare that the white American women's way with a man was as crude as her brother's approach to a football in a game, but she didn't mean this sort of thing. There is only one kind of woman who pursues her prey in the Van Vechten manner—and she never, never does it when she goes after a "p. i."
After this false start, our author begins his story up among the leisure class Harlemites, develops a love-story with a spoiled rah-rah boy and a sweet little girl as protagonists, curses him with a college "education" and an itch to write, and finally whelms him in the rotten results of his own waywardness and asinine incompetence.
From the first page to the last one brilliant quality of Van Vechten spills itself over this book, as it does in "The Blind Bow Boy." He can describe furniture and its accessories, female clothes and fripperies with all the ecstatic abandon of a maiden lady at a wedding and the self-satisfaction of a man-milliner toying with a pink powder-puff. In that domain, I think, he hasn't his equal--among men.
Mr. Van Vechten can write; or, I should say, he could. This is sufficiently attested by "The Blind Bow Boy," a novel of luxurious New York and Long Island in which character and atmosphere, vice and refinement, combine in an organized unity of literary presentation which is worthy of a better cause. But writers sometimes "fall down" Shakespeare insane or "napreupe insane," and Van Vechten wrote "Nigger Heaven." "The Blind Bow Boy" had indubitable atmosphere: it was genuine. This piece of cheap shoddy has neither atmosphere, depth nor character. The poor

As literature—as art—it is condemned, not in reference to any standard of literary excellence assumed by me, but in reference to its author's previous capacity for worthwhile work, as shown in "Peter Whifle," "The Tattooed Countess" and "The Blind Bow Boy."
And while the present writer hasn't the proper flair for sexual slobber, he would lift a timid voice to point out that some of the words in the "Glossary of Negro Words and Phrases" are fithy to the last degree. Had he used here the same freedom of invention shown in the selection of fantastic cognomen (like Arabia Scribner, Anatele Longfellow and Russia Cloudcroft). he might not have made a worse book, but it might have smelt less like a stable.
In the last four chapters of the book the author becomes painfully aware that the carpentry of it is crude, becomes conscious that he has been turning out superficial trash, and tries to compensate therefore by speeding up the pace of his approaching crisis. But even that fails to rescue the thing.
Yet I am not one of those who believe in absolute goodness or badness, and I can even find a few good things to say of Van Vechten's novel of Harlem life, He does show up the present worthlessness of what passes for colored "society" in Harlem, its cheap and tawdry assumptions of aristocracy, its reeking but camouflaged color prejudice and its collective crab-burlet tactics are revealed quite as effectively by means of Van Vechten's layfigures as they would be by genuine writers. In this way the book is a thinly disguised homily. And, indeed, there is a singular appropriateness in the shoddy quality of this book—a sort of argument-by-example—for it deals with a shoddy social set.
The tautile footing of our "intellectual" ephemeridae is fairly well indicated in the character of Byran Kasson, which is (like the other chief characters), a composite of elements to be found in the real Harlem.
Mary Love stands out like a gleaming violet on a dunghill, while Lasco Sartoris, the social leaper, and Adora Boniface, the black millionaire who hates "those damn black niggers," are almost memorable. His sly satiric digs at certain features of our social scene will make some wish that he had planned the whole thing as forrightt satire instead of complicating the involved froncles, with piffling sentimentality and unreal "atmosphere."
One thing, however, Van Vechten has achieved and we thank him for it—he has risen up like a German submarine to throw the fear of "Nigger Heaven" into "the whole crowd of timorous and flocking birds" who hover around in Harlem dreaming that they are writing "Negro" literature, because Van Vechten's kind has codified them at pink-teas and literary contests. May this brutal and bungling book serve as a spur to make them take the leap over the wall of weakness with which they are surrounded and write (with the virile power of Walter White), of the actual lives of actual Negroes in this Harlem, which has ben suffering for six years from blase neurotics whose Caucasian culture has petered out and who come to this corner of Manhattan for pungent doses of unreality, such as we get in "Nigger Heaven."

League Playground Pleases Battle
Writes of His Tour of Inspection in School Magazine
In a recent issue of "School," a magazine devoted to the public schools and educational interests, is the following article:
George Gordon Battle, president of the Parks and Playgrounds Association, in describing a recent tour which he made of several playgrounds, said he had been impressed greatly by one co-founder, by the New York Urban League at 202 West 136th street, in the heart of the Negro district.
"The building itself is attractive and spotlessly clean," said Mr. Battle, "and in the rear two yards have been made available for playground spaces. In one are a slide, swings and other light equipments, while the other yard is used for the group work in story telling, handcraft and ring games. In this space I found a large class of little boys and girls, under the able management of a very intelligent young Negro woman, engaged in weaving and other kinds of useful, interesting work. In the afternoon these yards are crowded with boys and girls who come for various kinds of outdoor recreation. Co-operating with the Urban League there is a visiting nurse service furnished by the Henry Street Settlement and also a clinic of the New York Tuberculosis Association, emphasizing the health side of their activities.
The whole institution presents a picture of a most useful and well-managed work of incalculable benefit to the other students. It was greatly struck by the admirable manner in which it is conducted."
Sherwood Anderson Writes on South
Sherwood Anderson, novelist and author of "Dark Laughter," contributes a discussion of race relations as he has observed them in the South to the September Number of "Vanity Fair." "The Southern problem—that of a race living so intimately with the white race—not living with it at all—fear of race mixture—is the hardest problem any section of the country has to face." declares Mr. Anderson. "Having lived in the South, I believe Southern white men handle it as well as Northern men ever could—perhaps better." The book needs, is to face itself and to find self-expression. He says: "It seems to me that what the South needs most now is the artist—not visiting artists—its own, but there is a difficulty.
"The South needs Southern expression of all phases of Southern life in song, prose, painting, music. To get that it needs acceptance of itself—more frankness.
"It needs to begin to escape the nonsense about spotless white womanhood, insisting too much upon a kind of purity that is humanly impossible. It needs more of all to wipe out fear of only Paranitical Northern judgments.
"The South has got to clean itself of the fear of facing itself.
"Not an easy job."
Kansas City Fights Segregation Program
John L. Love, president of the Kansas City Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports that a fight is being made by the Branch against a move by local white people for nation-wide segregation of races. The whites have sought to incorporate the "National Protective Association" for this purpose, and incorporation of this body is being opposed by the N. A. A. C. P. The head of the segregation group is reported to be Stanley Byrd, cashier of the Kansas City Southern Railway Company.
Mr. Love states that the situation arose out of a suit brought against a colored man and his wife to compel them to vacate property they had bought and moved into, the property having been subject to a white property owners' restriction agreement. The Kansas City N. A. A. C. P. came to the assistance of the colored man and his wife and the white organization is reported to be financing the suit against them, according to Mr. Joe. The colored occupants. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney, still live in their house, and the pending injunction is to be tried on September 20. Should decision be against the colored home owners, the case will be carried before higher courts on appeal.
"How's the handsome new jail coming along?"
"Fine," answered Catcus Joe. "It's got a waiting list."

SADLY you stand and ever feebly meek,

Some burdened soul, and made it gladly speak.
Now in your nightly days, unkind and bleak.
You seem as one caught in Life's vise and squeezed,
And when released from it evil Fate sneezed.
And the sprays blown on you made you a freak.
Did your eyes please, or did they sometimes eye

THERE are two Haitis. There is the Haiti that goes to market, that pounds clothes upon the stones of the river, that harvests the cane and the coffee, that, having had revolutions and too many Presidents, now has an advisory Nordic occupation. But the dream Haiti has nothing to do with this. It is the Haiti of drum and of dance.
COSTS $8,338 TO REAR
CHILD TO AGE OF 18
WASHINGTON—It is estimated, says "Trends and Indications," that to bring a child into the world, feed, clothes and shelter him; until the age 16 costs parents and the community about $8.33$ for a family living on about $2.50$ a year income. To the parents the cost is $7.23$ to the community about $1.100, this latter figure being for education. Of the parents' expenditure about $50 is for so-called minor educational expenses, such as books, writing utensils and cartoons to school.
The total expenditure per child is divided as follows: Clothing, shelter, $3.400; foods, $2.500; education, $1.150; miscellaneous, $624; recreation, health, $414; and birth expenses, $250. The budget of the average Negro family fluctuates between $0 or from $1.600 to $1.400 less than the budget upon which the above estimate of $.333 per child is based.

Blair Niles is able to see the whole of Haiti and reveals it to us in a book written as though it were a traveler's desultory story but that in reality is accurate, with conditions today and a dramatic, historic background. When one is through one has learned much of Toussaint Louverture, of Dessalines and of Christophe, whose manifold clauses and motifs of the show places of the world. Christophe is by all odds the most intriguing figure of the three, with his great palace, his pencilless, inflexible court eliquette and his magnificent manner of the African. Like many another brutal despot he left a magnificent monument, and when his countrymen turned against him he shot himself in his palace the most fascinating part of the book is the dream Haiti, the Haiti of the drum and dance.
Like so much that that is interesting in this world, the Haiti of the drum and dance will before long pass away. The "Creation Dance", which the author vividly describes, is performed by the peasants so the long Voodoo that with profoundly stirs them that its use has been made illegal. But the law is a dead letter in parts of the island and if one is unententious and mingles with the crowd one can still hear the drum and watch the primitive dance that is earlier in this world than man. Besides the sound of the male and female voices and the "high sweet treble of the flute". And all this in the superb tropical light amid the trembling palms.
Besides the history of the island and the life of the peasants we have an occasional glimpse of the former ruling class that has been superseded by the Marines. A little is told of our ancestors and so its good side. That something of the now inevitable. Haiti has potential wealth and no wealthy spot can remain long unexploited. Nor can people be permitted to remain on the island or to read or unable to read the printed paper. So little by little we shall see Haiti modernized, automobile roads will succeed donkey paths, and saxophones will take place of drums. But before that people should be allowed to the island. Blair Niles' book makes us long to pack our bags and take the next steamer to Fort-au-Prince. We want to see the black women making the way with swinging sails to their hands delighted at the prospect of a day's joyous clatter and the fun of bargaining. We want to hear the drum and watch the Africans in their strange, swirling dance. We want to hear this hardistictical life this formerly to be produced at Carnegie Hall. There is a brightness today about Haiti, despite its poverty, that Anglo-Saxon civilization will subdue the Anglo-Saxon our written战史 to exist externally at the African. In the Spanish-American countries a certain austerity in the conquerors subdued the Negro; but Haiti the mining of France with Africa was like giving to Africa a drink cherished with the people that the personality of Haiti is singularly vital." Let us make haste to get there before the fizz is gone.
