Register or You Cannot Vote Next Election ROOF KILLING REVEALED U. N. I. A. OFFICIALS FREED The Waning U. N. I. A. CANCEROUS discord is ceating out the vital forces of the Universal Negro Improvement Society. The Garveyites and the anti-Garveyites are at each others' throats in a feud which probably will end in the death of the parent organization. In spite of the humorously pathetic back-to-Africa project which leaders of the U. N. I. A. so zealously fostered, the association possessed a few outstanding virtues, chief among which was the fact that so large a body could organize itself, function, and prosper for so long a time with a definite objective in mind. This in itself was an achievement which the Negro in America had never before enjoyed outside of the field of religion. Jealousies and self-aggrandizement, however, are now having their day in the U. N. I. A. Its definite purposes are being laid upon the table, while its leaders are engaging in personal charges, countercharges, and incarcerations. The masses, who gave of their money and energy to stabilize organization among Negroes, are being forgotten, while its leadership struggles with itself in fury End in self-destruction. Distintegration has set in upon what was once a great organization. It would be both graceful and self-saving if the masses who comprise the U. N. I. A. could be kept intact to face, not an emigration to the dark continent, but an approach to the problems which beset the Negro in America. If the names of organization of the Negro could be kept alive, so that in an orderly, scientific way he could put firmness and initiative into the plan which should be pursued here to bring about his complete emancipation, what consolation would be enjoyed by the black pathfinders of America. Cannot something be done to preserve the U. N. I. A., give it a while leadership of integrity, a new plan of action, and save it as the model, in form at least, from which new units of racial solidarity may be created and dedicated to the service of the strugging race? Woman Swindled Out of $300 Woman Swindled Out of $300 Old Pocketbook Game Used —Two Suspects Held Charged with stealing $300 from Mrs. Evelyn Howe, 15 West 135th street, by means of the pocketbook game, Ulysses Harper, 240 West 122d street, and Hattie Myrea, 240 West 122d street, were held for a further hearing when they were arrested before Magistrate Douras in the Washington Heights Court Friday morning. The pair were arrested by Detectives Bacurschmidt and Crosby of the West 135th street station after Mrs. Howe had made the complaint and gave the description of the prisoners. According to the complainant the alleged swindlers approached her on the corner of 126th street and Eighth avenue last week. After making the ordinary appeal employed by the swindlers, Mrs. Howe said that they encouraged her to draw out $300 from her bank.

NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6, 1926 Weston and Holder Exonerated by Magistrate Douras in Washington Heights Court Marcus Garvey and his lieutenants suffered a heavy setback Thursday when George A. Weston, president of the anti-Garvey faction of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and Wesley MacD. Holder, secretary, were exonerated by Magistrate Bernard J. Douras, sitting in the Washington Heights Court, on a charge of burglarizing the office building now occupied by the Garvey faction. Followers of both factions, male and female, crowded into the court room and listened with a great deal of attentiveness. Silence among the spectators would be occasionally broken when apparent enemies of Garvey giggled either at question that was put by one of the attorneys or at the answer to a question by the complaining witness. A few of the women were robed in their Black Cross nurse, uniforms. The hearing lasted for two hours. Neither Weston nor Holder was put on the witness stand. Attorney Lennie George, who appeared as commissor for Holder, was re-enforced by two other lawyers. The Garveyites were represented by Attorney Lawrence Brown. As the victorious officers of the association left the bar they were affectionately mobbed by their loyal members. Disappointed, on the other hand, in their failure to execute the orders of their imprisoned chief, Urlah Gittens, acting as Garvey's secretary, who was the complainant, dashed from the room. With the aid of a night watchman in the Universal Negro Improvement Association a final attempt was made to prove that Weston and Holder had entered the building of the association at 56 W. 125th street through a rear window on the second floor by climbing the fire escape. Books, papers and money were alleged to have been removed from the building by the men after they had opened the door for about twenty persons to enter and ransack the place. Although Holder and Weston had corroborating witnesses, they were not put on the stand. The charge against the opponents of Garvey is regarded by some who are well acquainted with the present mechanism of the whole organization as a last minute play to stay off the injunction proceedings instituted by the Weston group restraining other groups from using the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. From all indications Garvey has made his last stand. Several libel suits and actions for false arrest are expected to be filed this week by Attorneys for Weston and Holder. DETECTIVES DIVERSES, INVESTIGATIONS. Ela BOULIN DETECTIVE AGENCY 118 East 138th St. Hartleigh 1343 (day) Brad. 050 (night) Richard Moore Found Guilty Sentence Suspended Made Speech in Front of Lafayette Magistrate Henry Goodman, sitting in the Washington Heights Court yesterday afternoon, found Richard B. Moore guilty of obstructing traffic. He was given a suspended sentence. Action to appeal the decision of the court will be instituted at once. Attorney Ruth Whitehead Whaley, with offices at 206 Broadway, represented Moore, who was specifically charged with disorderly conduct on the ground that he violated an injunction issued by Supreme Court Judge Valpine Tuesday morning in the Washington Heights Court before Magistrate Henry Goodman. At the end of the testimony of the complaining witnesses Attorney Whaley made the motion to dismiss the disorderly conduct charge against her client. The court listened for several minutes to a rebuttal and then reserved its decision. Moore was then put on the stand. The first witness to take the stand was the arresting officer, Patrolman Blank of the West 135th street station. He testified that he observed a large crowd, numbering about 150 persons, around a little speaking stand at 135th street and Seventh avenue. The officer said that he noticed a fifteen police car drive up to the car and order the speaker away. At this time he was one block away. Bernard Burt, manager of the Lafayette, the complaining witness, was the next to take the stand. He declared that he heard Mr. Moore refer to this theatre as being the only one out of the local theatres that did not employ Negro motion picture operators. The theatre manager further charged that the speaker attempted to incite the crowd to storm the Lafayette Theatre. Upon the grillings cross-examination by Attorney Whaley he admitted that he caused the arrest of Mr. Moore because he thought that the injunction was being violated. Boy Skater's Leg Crushed by Trolley While roller skating on the asphalt pavement near the foot of 145th street bridge on Lenox avenue, Frank Miller, 13, 2441 Seventh avenue, was run down by a trolley car Saturday. A rear wheel passed over the boy's left leg crushing it so badly that Dr. Blaha of Harlem Hospital was forced to amputate the leg below the knee. Policeman Lacey, of West 135th street station, with the aid of Motorman Raymond Griffin and Conductor Clyde Davis, jacked up the street car and extricated the boy, who had fainted from pain. Lacey applied a tourniquet to the crushed foot and stopped the flow of blood until the ambulance arrived. Griffin, who was driving the street car, said he did not know the car had run over the boy until bystanders shouted to him. HURT 4 YEARS AGO; BRINGS SUIT FOR $10,000 (Preston News Service.)

WINEGLASS, COUSIN OF ACTOR, DIES FROM EFFECTS OF BULLET Police Searching for Henry Luckes, Who Is Accused of Shooting Staged in Seventh Avenue Pool Parlor Russell Wineglass, 35, cousin of the actor, Dewey Wineglass, was shot during an altercation early Saturday morning in a poolroom at 2369 Seventh avenue, and died an hour later on the operating table at Harlem Hospital. According to the police, the assailant is alleged to be Henry Luckes, 136 West 142d street. He is still at large. From information that was given the police, the men had been discussing each of their rights to have the companionship of a woman when the talk suddenly took a violent turn. It was shortly after 1 A.M. that a report was received at the West 135th street station that a man had been shot at the Seventh avenue poolroom. A squad of reserves, with Detective Winterhalter, went to the scene. Wineglass was rushed to the hospital, where he died soon afterwards from loss of blood.

When Reason was arraigned in the Washington Heights Court Monday morning, Magistrate Henry Goodman declared that it was the most unusual case that had ever been brought before him. The complaining witness, Joe Casino, white, owner of the Seventh avenue premises, who endeavored to withdraw his complaint of attempted robbery against Reason, was held in the custody of the police as a material witness for the State. Reason, who had been out on ball since last week, was held without ball to await the action of the Grand Jury. Commissioner of Police McLaughlin was informed of the action of the patrolman and asked that the case be investigated. Fred R. Moore, publisher, 228 W. 123rd street, testified in behalf of the defendant and revealed the attempt of a policeman to assault the prisoner while he was being taken to the police station. Reason was represented by Attorney Richard L. Cunningham. During the Confesses Fifty Apartment Thefts Even Suspect's Revolver Was Stolen, Police After being trailed by a rookie Monday night, it is alleged that a gunman, William Springer, twenty-three, 268 West 153rd street, confessed he had robbed at least fifty apartments in the University Heights, Washington Heights and Morningside Heights sections in the last year.

The bundles, detectives declared, contained clothing and jewelry the robber said he took early Monday night from an apartment "somewhere in University avenue." He could not remember the address.

REASON STAGGERED Around 7:30 p. m. last Thursday, Reason said that he staggered into the Seventh avenue place. A man on guard at the door, whose official duty it is to pull a long chain to release a bar across the door when the person is a regular customer of the place, or who does not look suspicious, admitted Reason when he tapped on the window. The guard and Reason have been friends for over 15 years, the defendant said. Reason declared that he had a wrapped package in his arm, and the guard asked him what it was. He threw the package upon the bar and instructed him to look and see. Reason testified. As the door guard was inspecting the contents of the package Patrolman Burke, who was in plain WHITE GIRL REFUSES TO TESTIFY AGAINST HER LOVER Defying her father, Bertha Soffer, white, 19, who had been living in a rented room with John Rankin, 21, 220 West 134th street, refused to give him up as her lover and intended husband and bitterly denounced the idea of testifying against him. When the couple was arraigned in the Heights Court, Monday, a lawyer employed by the girl's father asked that ball be set for her. It was granted. Although Rankin is held as a fugitive from justice, extradition papers have not been granted. Rankin and the white girl attended the same school at Duquesne, Pa., and there they became interested in one another. Some time ago the Soffer girl came here to visit relatives, and soon after her arrival here Rankin followed. Since that time they have made several attempts to marry and have been blocked each time. Upon evidence received several weeks ago Detectives Bauerschmidt and Crosby of the West 135th street station went to the West 134th street address and found the couple living as man and wife. Efforts were made to have the girl to take the stand against her lover, but she refused. She is expected to be a mother soon. The case was adjourned until tomorrow when it is expected that some disposition will be made of it. Laborer Arrested After Woman Yells Asbury Pety, 32 laborer, 47 W. 133d street, was held in $1,000 bail to await the action of the Grand Jury when he was arraigned in the Heights Court Monday on a charge of having a razor in his possession. According to Patrolman William Robinson. Sunday night, while he was in the vicinity of St. Nicholas Park, he heard a woman scream. As he rushed to the scene where he heard the cry, he said that he saw two men run away from her. Patrolman Robinson gave chase and overtook Pety, he said. The second man escaped. When he brought the prisoner back to the place where the woman was standing she had disappeared. He then searched the prisoner and found a razor in his inside pocket, he said.

PROBABLE THAT WHITE MAN WAS LURED TO HIS DEATH Body Found Saturday Morning on Roof of 138th St. Apartment House Identified by Stepfather From all information gathered by the police, the theory that the body of Frederick W. Earle, white, 27, Higgannum, Conn., which was found on the roof of the apartment building at No. 1111 West 138th street Saturday, was just another case of a white man on a slumming tour in Harlem being lured to his death by a woman and her accomplices, is the most reliable one. Identification was made by Howard I. Spencer, the man's stepfather, who came to New York from Higgannum, which is south of Middletown, directly after the first information reached the family from the police that a man answering Earle's description had been found dead. After identifying the body, Spencer immediately began a search for Earle's younger brother, Irving Earle, 20 who left by boat on Friday night for New York, and was due to arrive here Thursday morning. Both young men came here to attend the world's series. Earle, who was murdered, left his home late Friday afternoon in his Ford automobile and drove alone to New York. His body was found about 6:30 o'clock by Joseph Forman, white, 12 West 116th street, driver of a milk wagon, who had made deliveries in the house and was crossing the roof to an adjoining building. An ambulance surgeon summoned from Harlem Hospital said the man probably had been dead five hours. Mrs. Lillian Islall, who lives on the top floor, told detectives she had heard footsteps on the roof about 1:30 o'clock in the morning, followed by the sound of a scuffle ten minutes later. The sound ceased, she said, and she did not investigate. A soft hat, evidently worn by the victim, bore the name "Burtons, 388 Main Street, Hartford, Conn." His empty wallet had the initials "F. W. E." on the outside. There was also found an insurance policy issued to Frederick W. Earle by the Tully Wiley Insurance Company, 769 Main street, Hartford, on Aug. 31, covering automobile liability in the amount of $10,000. No arrests have been made as yet.

Oct. 4—Saying he had "got religion" in the county jail, Edward Munson, 21 years old, Wednesday pleaded guilty to robbery and was sentenced to serve from two and one-half to fifteen years in Jackson Prison.

He served part of a one to 15-year sentence in Jackson Prison two years ago. Pietro Babba, a street merchant, was held up by Munson, who stole women's lingerie valued at $200 from him.

"The Howard University community was established in 1867 by a man who had been a soldier and who was not content to see the four millions of American Negroes physically free from bondage. He desired to see them intellectually and spiritually emancipated. "During the fifty-eight years of its existence the Howard community has kept in unanswering view the desires and ideals of this noble man. Little by little our community has grown in students, in faculty, in equipment, in friends, in standards and in power. Today we have over 6.708 graduates at work in all States of the Union, in foreign countries, and in all departments of life; a faculty of some eight-score of professors, assistants and instructors, a student body of more than 2,000 young Just the Place for Your Girl The Florence Garnette Training School 224 WEST 139TH STREET men and young women of university calibre; a trustee board composed of men among the most eminent in our country, profoundly believing in the mission of the University and determined to do their utmost to make it an increasing power in American life.

We are sure of our mission and we feel like a vigorous and eager young man stripped to run a race. "We greet you as our younger comrades in a great enterprise. In acquaintance with fundamental processes of thinking and with specific fields of inquiry we have preceded you, and we wait to*serve you as you walk along your way, confirming your choice of the best and warning you as well as we can concerning the dangers to be avoided.

The officer took his prisoner from Seventh avenue and 130th street to Eighth avenue. When he had reached 132d street. Reason declared, the officer put him into a taxicab and told him to go home because he was too drunk to know what he was doing. Still believing that Burke was not a policeman. Reason said that he instructed the taxi driver to go to the West 132th Street Station. A short distance from the station the defendant saw Mr. Moore. He then told his story to the publisher. Realizing that he was intoxicated, Mr. Moore, the prisoner testified, instructed him to go home and come to his office the following day. OFFICER TRAILS HIM. Only a few minutes after Reason had talked to the publisher, the policeman came up to him and asked in which direction the man had gone. The officer was told. Reason was overtaken by a police reserve officer who informed him that Officer Burke was at the station. At the station there was a debate as to whether or not the air pistol was a violation of the Sullivan law. Reason said. Upon the decision that it was a dangerous weapon he was arrested and the charge of attempted robbery was later lodged against him.

Reason was formerly connected with the United States Department of Justice. Prior to the World War he was convicted of a charge of petty larceny. He is married and lives with his wife at the Fifth avenue address. Burke has been on the force for only a year. He said that he had been in the Seventh avenue place for about 10 minutes before Reason entered. He said that he saw the defendant point the instrument at the door guard and remark, "Don't dart!" He said that he released the prisoner on because he thought that as much as the fake pistol looked like a dangerous weapon, its possession was not a violation of the Sullivan law. After he released the prisoner, he found out that it was a violation and then rearrested him, he said. In order to relieve the officer from further embarrassment the court would not allow Attorney Cunningham to comment on his action. Magistrate Goodman said that he would see to it that the irregularities of the officer were brought to the attention of the Police Commissioner. In making an appeal for the dismissal of the charges against his client, the defendant's counsel pointed out that two magistrates had decided that an air pistol was not a violation of the law. No higher court has ever made a decision. In announcing his decision Magistrate Goodman said: "In all my years in the district attorney's office and during my service as a member of the bench I have never heard of a case just like this. I have never heard of a police officer acting in the place of a Grand Jury on the sidewalk."

The story was the kind calculated to incite to riot, so brazenly did it play upon race prejudice. Contrary to the report in the Hearst paper, the white girl, who is just the reverse of a beauty, and her companion, a distinct Negro type, were arrested by Patrolman Saffer of the West 135th street station after the women had annoyed school children who were playing in front of the school building at 135th street and Lenox avenue. As the Journal reported there was a mob, but a mob of innocent children. According to a story given to the police, Minnie Ward, 44 W. 138th street, and the white woman, Jane Slee, who has lived with the Ward woman for several months, saw two boys playing on the corner as they were walking down the avenue. ed in the Heights Court, they were remanded to await a report by the probation officer.

Insurance Policy Groton, Mass., Has First Ku Klux Klan Disturbance GROTON, Mass., Oct. 4.-A revolver and rifle battle between Klan and anti-Klan forces numbering more than 500 persons, in which more than 100 shots were fired shortly after midnight, was under investigation Saturday by town and State police. The disturbance, latest of many which have occurred in varying parts of the State in the last two years, was without apparent casualty, although police leaned to the theory that the injured, if any, probably were carried off in automobiles of friends. An attacking party of 100 persons in automobiles surprised 400 Klansmen meeting in a field, off a side road, and after felling trees to barricade either end of the highway by the field they opened fire, according to the police. It was the first Klan disturbance in the history of Groton. Policewoman Nabs Alleged Soothsayer For $2 Fettie Johnson, 49, called upon the spirit world in "St. Matthew's Church of Divine Truth and Silence," as she called her apartment at 45 W. 127th street, near Lenox avenue. Policewoman Ahearn, of the 18th Division, charged Saturday in Washington Heights Court. Magistrate Douras held the woman in $500 ball for a further hearing on a charge of telling fortunes. According to the policewoman, she was recommended to Miss Johnson's "tabernacle of the infinite spirit" in the Harlem apartment house by another woman. When she entered, Miss Johnson led her to a table in front of an "aitar" and took the policewoman's hands in hers, calling upon the spirit world to aid her in prophecy. She predicted a thrilling romance for the policewoman, and promised she would amass a fortune within a year. The promised romance failed to thrill Mrs. Ahearn, however, and when it was suggested that she leave $2 on the "aitar" as an offering to the spirit world, she arrested the woman. Bronx District Attorney Believes He Has Unearthed Policy Bankers Declaring that he had unearthed one of the biggest policy slip games ever to come to the attention of the authorities, District Attorney McGeehan, Bronx, announced his intention on Monday to seek indictments from the Grand Jury for eleven operators in a gambling house at 337 East 147th street, which was raided earlier in the day. Thousands of policy slips, said by the police to indicate that only one day's business often amounted to between $15,000 and $20,000, were confiscated. Several police patrols were required to cart away the paraphernalis seized by the raiding party, headed by District Attorney McGeehan, and including Detectives Nachman, Dudley and Reiger, of Inspector Thompson's sound. husband, who is being sought by the police. Mrs. Kassal was released under bail at the Morrisania station, with seven others, charged with acting in concert with the operators. They described themselves as Anna Greenberg, 19, a clerk, white, 102 W. 119th street: Michael Grassle, 27, white, 156 W. 119th street; Jacob Lipschitz, 50, white, 1253 St. Nicholas avenue; Abraham Nirenbeh, 15, 1501 Boston road; John Taken to Morrissiana Police Station, eight of the prisoners were released under bail for appearance today in Morrissiana Court. It is understood that representatives of the district attorney will appear before Magistrate McQuade at that time and ask that they be bound over to the Grand Jury. Three others, taken in the raid, were said by Detective Nochman to have criminal records and were carried to Night Court, where Magistrate Glatzmayer held William McKinnon, 26, white, 246 Lenox avenue, in $5,000 ball and Lily Lyons, 30, 625 Lenox avenue, and Theodore Silverstein, 27, 275 W. 144th street, in ball of $2,500 each. Detective Nachman told the magistrate that McKinnon had an extensive record, including a year spent in prison for sending poison through the mail. Silverstein is said by the police to have been a joint operator of the establishment with Mrs. Pauline Kassal, 25, white, 2749 University avenue, and her husband, who is being sought by the police. Mrs. Kassal was released under bail at the Morrisania station, with seven others, charged with acting in concert with the operators. They described themselves as Anna Greenberg, 19, a clerk, white, 102 W. 119th street; Michael Grassile, 27, white, 156 W. 119th street; Jacob Lipschitz, 39, white, 1253 St. Nicholas avenue; Abraham Nireben, 15, 1501 Boston road; John Mitchell, 27, 160 W. 130th street; Daniel Unger, 26, white, 52 W. 111th street and George Sheestermann, 19, 626 Lenox avenue. Cash to the amount of $1,600 and a check for $2,100 were found in the office of the establishment, according to the police. The check is said to have borne the name of Mrs. Kassal and she is also said to have claimed the money. For the past ten days the police have had the E. 149th street premises under observation, but have contented themselves with merely watching and gaining evidence. Early yesterday afternoon, the raiding party swooped down on the house from several directions. On the top floor of the building was found an office, the door of which was marked "accountant." Without a warning the raiders broke in the door and entered, finding themselves in a big room, with tables covered with papers. The 11 occupants of the place were forced against the wall and PITCHER FIGURES. IN ASSAULT CHARGE A huge carthenware pitcher, gallon size, was offered as an exhibit by Frederick E. Davis, 30, 4972 Third avenue, in pressing a complaint of felonious assault against Fred Smith, 30, a laborer, 1778 Bathgate avenue, near 174th street, in West, Farms Court, Monday, Davis said the pitcher was thrown at him, cutting his nose, during a fight in Smith's home. Six stitches were required to close the wound, according to Davis.

Within 30 minutes of the time the door was smashed in, a fleet of police patrols lined up outside the building, carting away the fixtures, and the prisoners were being hustled to the station house. Meanwhile, according to the police, the 11 prisoners had been nearly as busy as the raiders, but in a different fashion. While awaiting arrival of the police patrols which would carry them to jail, they are said to have used all manners of persuasive means in an attempt to free themselves. Several of the 11 offered the police as high as $3,000 if they could be freed before charges were issued against them, members of the raiding party say. It is expected that these attempts will lead to the filing of attempted bribery charges against some of those arrested. Besides the several thousand policy ships, eight adding machines, a number of suit cases, thousands of envelopes and mailing sheets, eight chairs, a desk and a telephone were confiscated by the raiders, and are being held at the Morrissanta station as evidence. Auto Damages Stoop: Owner Sues for $250 Action has been brought against Rose Epstein, white, 910 Union avenue, for damages caused by her automobile when it crashed into the stoop of the private house of Mrs. Mamie Speaks, 137 W. 130th street.

To bleach white goods that have become yellow, dip them in strong blue water after washing, let them become very blue, and then hang out to dry. They will be thoroughly bleached. Gilt braid that has become tarnished may be renewed by rubbing a little alum into it. Leave for a few hours and it will look like new. In papering a room, you should remember that large patterns and dark colors will make it appear smaller. A plain or striped paper, if a light hue, will give an impression of increased size. When purchasing materials for unholstering purposes always choose a close weave and look for the absence of long, loose threads on the surface. To remove red ink stains from table linen, spread freshly made mustard over the stain and leave for half an hour; then sponge off and all traces of the ink will have disappeared. The Cook Says:--- The cook who is wise in her day and generation sees to it that the dishes she prepares are attractive in appearance and interesting in flavor. Give variety to muffins and biscuits by adding raisins, dates or cocoanut. To beat eggs quickly, add a pinch of cream of tartar before starting to beat them. The desired frothy condition will be acquired more quickly and retained longer. To color soup green, pound spinach leaves in a mortar, extract the juice and add to the soup. Let potatoes stand fifteen minutes in hot water before baking and it will take half the usual time. A plate of cool, inviting salad saves the day when all other plans go awry, or you feel the need for a free afternoon. Ready-to-serve soups usually need to be diluted with water or stock. You can also taste of your family by adding seasoning, if you think it necessary.

Sara Washington Popular among last season's summer students at Columbia University was a charming young society girl, who resides with her mother in Pittsburgh. Her name is Helen. Her father is a prominent New York physician and she has spent the summers here since her parents separated seven years ago. The Smoky City miss possessed many charms and was much sought after. Numerous social affairs were given in her honor, and the past season was "just the berries" for Helen. Helen's attention to her studies began to wane during the last two weeks, but first and became centred on Phil, a dark-eyed youth whose Valentini-like features are quired for him the nickname "Sheik." "Shoik" had known "Babe" (as Helen was affectionately called), for the past three years. But "Babe's" increasing popularity caused Phil to be more attentive to her than before. He was really getting serious and told "Babe" so. Of course, Phil had another girl of whom he was quite fond. He had not entertained visions of marriancy with the latter, but she was a good pal, and he felt quite contented in her company. While with "Babe" he really thought that he loved her. There was so much unlovable attractions. She was his exact type. She possessed every desirable charm but one—and that was—broad shoulders. Hers were extremely round. This was a pity as "Babe" was only 19. She was tall and otherwise beautifully formed, but even these attractions, and her powerful winning personality, could not offset this defect in her posture. It does not seem reasonable that a parent would permit a child, who was otherwise so perfect, to arrive at such a stage when it could have been easily corrected. Round shoulders are the result of bad carriage. The way a person stands or walks has bearing upon health, upon efficiency, upon personal appearance. It is clear STOP RHEUMATISM!

Y. first 0678 Babe's Carriage enough that a stooping posture must decrease the efficiency of the heart and lungs and injure the work of the liver. But, according to physicians, the bad effects do not stop there. When the abdomen is habitually released and allowed to sag forward—as usually happens when people stand badly—all the important organs inside slip downward a little. They lie lower than they should, and often the lower border of the stomach drops two or three inches. This, perhaps, is due to the stretching of the nerves and blood vessels, but in all events the tone of the whole system is sure to be lowered; the organs grow fubby and do their work sluggishly. So give yourself the "once-over." Stand up straight—walk correctly and breathe deeply. Be graceful in your carriage, as it has a powerful attraction. Good carriage is directly connected with a person's feeling and self-respect. If you stouch around with your eyes on the ground and your abdomen sagging, you are not in a position to have the strong and healthy feelings of self-respect that the person has who stands erect. If, while walking along the street, you wake up to the fact you are carrying yourself poorly, take the attitude of standing straight—the physical attitude will follow. Hold your head well back, shoulders square, look people squarely in the face. This will not only give the impression to others that you possess the power you want, but it will actually tend to bring power to you.

Phone Prospect 6375 Two White Detectives Charged With Attempt to Extort $300 From Doctor Dr. Richard Birnie, of Brooklyn, Passes Marked Bills as Police Inspector Looks on and Arrests Two detectives attached to the Butler Street Station in Brooklyn were arrested Friday on a charge of extortion by Inspector Lewis J. Valentine and two sergeants from Commissioner George V. McLaughlin's confidential staff. They are Jeremiah Campbell, 451 Fittentton street, Brooklyn, and Reginald Stlaymaker, 30 Huntington street, Brooklyn. Both are white. The two detectives are specifically charged with having made an appointment at Atlantic avenue and Court street with Dr. Richard Birnie, 646 Herkimer street, Brooklyn, to receive $300 to drop an investigation into the death of Mrs. Alice Grandson, who died after an operation. Adelaide Foster, a midwife, arrested in the case, was discharged in Homicide Court Friday for lack of evidence. ```markdown ``` Follow Dr. Birnie had been to Police Headquarters with his story and was instructed to pass $300 in marked bills. Dr. Birnie, police asserted, had been cleared of any connection with Mrs. Granderson's death before the detectives approached him. Records show the physician attended her before and after the operation was performed. The physician, police said, agreed to give the detectives the money at Court street and Atlantic avenue at 3 P. M. Friday. In an interview with a reporter for The Amsterdam News Dr. Birnie said: "As directed by the police I drove to the corner of Atlantic avenue and Court street and the detectives were awaiting me. Detective Campbell was walking up and down the street and Detective Skaymaker was at the wheel of the Ford sedan. "Campbell approached the window of my car and spoke with me for about five minutes. He said, 'Be careful, I think I am watched. Have you the money? I said, yes, and passed him the illiterate vector Valentine and by me to him. There were three $100 bills. --- "He said: 'Don't tell Slaymaker how much you gave me.' "He then walked back to his rut. I got out of my car on to the sidewalk and gave the prearranged signal—the raising of my bot from my head. As soon as camphrel headed his car Inspector valentine and his Nissan was delivered in on them, found the money in his pockets and arrested both men." Dr. Brietle is a graduate of Harvard University and has practised in Brooklyn several years. Gne Foot Warm; Given Time to Warm Both "Why one shoe?" asked County Judge Taylor of James Ferdinand. Friday morning, Oct. 1. in the county court. "I was playing cards, your Honor." answered Ferdinand, "and my foot got warm." Ferdinand was charged with having stabbed Samuel Stanley, 82 living places. The trouble are over because of his intentions to the wife of Stanley, it is alleged, and an estrangement of the Stanley resulted. Assistant District Attorney Heily brought out the fact that when Ferdinand was arrested he was found with one shoe on. In holding Ferdinand for sentence Judge Taylor said: "Well, I will give you time to cool off both sides. Sing, sing, and after that you will back to the British West Indies and the wife and children you deserted there to come here and break up another home."

Davis, a missionary and founder-superintendent of the tourist Mission in Los Angeles, Cal., created quite a stir at the usually peaceful and harmonious Sunday services in the Marcy Avenue Baptist Church (white) on Sept. 26, when she attacked the racial barriers of white church rules. Miss Davis, who came to Brooklyn last June as a delegate to the Baptist Young People's Union Congress, was presented to the congregation by the Rev. John M. Moore, pastor of the church, with the idea that she would just describe her work and step. Miss Davis was given five minutes in which to give an outline of her activities. She did this and then she deplored the time limitation which had been placed upon her to deliver an important message. The young lady then launched her attack on the "rules, laws and budgets" of the white Baptist denomination, which to her mind tend to act as barriers between members of congregations who were inclined to contribute to such causes as she and other colored men and women were interested in and made financial appeals for. She also helped the old Roman Catholics are extending in a financial way for work among colored people. This line of talk, judging from the actions of the congregation, was not what they wanted, and Dr. Moore, at the end of ten minutes of this caustic criticism, quietly resumed his place in the pulpit and gently reminded the invited guest that the five minutes that had been allotted her had expired. Miss Davis in a polite manner concluded that talk was before she requested permission to receive funds at the door when the services had ended. Dr. Moorole readily consented to her request, but stated that while the members of the Marcy Avenue Baptist Church had evidently been deeply moved by the first portion of Miss Davis' talk, they deplored the critical tenor of her remarks. He told Miss Davis that in churches of this day and time budgets, rules and regulations were necessary and important parts. She made no comment, but left the pulpit with an expression which seemed to ask, "What would Jesus do if He had to deal with so many rules and so forth if He came into the world to day."

Then he rolled between the tracks, just as the steel wheels clucked past his face. The thunder of the wheels and the screech of the brakes drowned the man's feeble cries. The darkness of the tunnel at the end of the station prevented the motorman from seeing the bellboy.

Prayers were mingled with faint cries for help. None heard "except God," as Thompson later declared. "I never prayed so hard in my life," the bellboy told an ambulance surgeon. "God heard me and saved me." After two hours, hope nearly gone. Thompson realized he was losing consciousness. He almost gave up hope of being rescued alive.

If I knew that I was to suffer so long I would have ended it all beneath the wheels of a train. But the thought that my prayers and cries would be heard at any moment gave me encouragement."

Ward of Abyssinian Prince Enters Ohio State University Is in Sophomore Class in Colleges of Commerce and Journalism Has Been in United States Four and One-Half Years Has Mastered English Language COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 4. One of three wards of the reigning prince of Abyssinia, attending American universities at his expense, became an Ohio State student at the opening of the fall quarter. His name is Bashahwarad Nabetwold and his home is in Addis-Aboba, Abyssinia, where his mother, two brothers and one sister are living. Nabtowold is 30 years old and has been in the United States four and one-half years, which have been spent almost continuously in classrooms at Muskingum College, New Concord. He is the protege of Prince Ras Tuffari, who, six years ago, took three Abyssinian youths and placed them in schools in Bombay, India, where they were taught the rudiments of the English language and American customs. The trio, who are Bashahwarad, Malaku Beyan and Worku Gobena, then came to Muskingum College, where they were given private tuition until they became sufficiently versed in the English language to enter the regular classrooms. Nabtewold came to Ohio State this fall as a sophomore in the College of Commerce and Journalism. Malaku is attending the University of Pennsylvania, where he is studying medicine. Worku is continuing an arts course at Muskegum. Careful in his diction and easily understood, he said he and his companions hoped to remain in the United States for three more years before returning to their native country. He plans to become a teacher or have employment in a Government office when he returns home. Likes Staten. He found it very difficult to master the English language, but declared his native tongue is more difficult for a foreigner to learn. Due to the fact that his language is so difficult, French is the most universal language, he said. American customs and dress, radically different from those of his native country, are not to be found fault with, in his opinion. American food was difficult to become accustomed to, he said. But he likes the United States and the hospitality of its people, and announced the intention of returning some day after he has completed his studies and returned to his country.

Robinson, 33. 2484 Seventh avenue, near 144th street, paid a $10 fine when arraigned before Magistrate Glatzmayer in Night Court last week on a disorderly conduct charge preferred by Mrs. Lillian Jackson, 309 West 148th street. For the past three weeks, Mrs. Jackson said, Robinson had been parking his car in front of her ground-floor apartment and continually tooting his horn for the sole purpose of annoying her. Mrs. Jackson attributed Robinson's horn-blowing efforts to the fact that she had attempted to have him repay a loan of $512. She said she had loaned Robinson the money a year ago and had subsequently, upon his refusal to make good the loan, gotten a judgment against him for the sum involved. However, she added, the judgment had proved fruitless, because Robinson did not have any money. Robinson pleaded not guilty. He said he just happened upon occasions to drive his car past Mrs. Jackson's home and, if he had blown his horn, it was only because circumstances made it necessary.

We ARE PREPARED FOR THE WORST In trying hard to adhere to our policy of at all times trying to be fair to both sides in any controversy wherein we feel that the news must be given our readers the same as the white papers, with or veiled threats and innuendos which at times would strike at our very means of earning a livelihood, by both so-called friends and known foes, we have been thrown at times into the very throes of conflicting emotions. But when in the early dawn we commune with nature and ask for guidance by One upon whom we all at some time or other lean, we do that which within our hearts we believe to be right, and in forty years upon this mundane sphere we have been blessed with favors which we believe come to us from this attitude towards our fellowman. In the fight between the Negro motion picture operators and the Leo Brocher interests, ably defended by Mr. Frank Schiffman at the Lafayette Theatre, we have a times been torn by these same emotions, but we have in the dawn come forward with the news, serving our readers faithfully, caring not where the chips may fall and being fully prepared to take the consequences which may be the result of duties performed to the best of our ability. For the past few weeks we have been our intention to attempt an opinion on the fight being waged, but midnight of every Monday evening always brought string events which forced us to do those things to be right and fair to our readers, if to no one else. True, we might have made promises to come forth with those things which would perhaps appear to favor one side or the other, but let those who howl loudest of promises broken not forget that they too have made promises which, when the time is ripe, we will recite in these columns so that they who walk carefully can read. On Saturday evening Mr. Frank Schiffman in an inspired statement to this writer asserted that he was fully prepared to meet all the demands of Local 306 in behalf of the Negro motion picture operators. Mr. Schiffman declared that each and every item in the demands made by the union would be met, and when he left us we felt that the time was ripe to tell our anxious readers that victory had been won for the colored boys. But another element entered into this matter less than twenty-four hours later. It was told to us that in spite of the charges being made that the race issue is the biggest thing in the fight, the Negro motion picture operators came out with their white co-workers in a fight against the Leo Brecher interests and not particularly the Lafayette Theatre. We have been told that white men in the Washington, the Olympic and the Verona were called out at the same time the Negroes came out of the Lafayette Theatre. On the face of this statement, and if it is true, and to our way of thinking, Negroes apparently fighting for the same thing as white men work, he held in very high estimation by their own power to deter their white, white brothel act what the wider crucial moment in what they all believe to be a fight of "all for one and one for all." We have been told that the injunction which was served on the street speakers in this community did not specify only the Lafayette Theatre, but the Washington and Olympic Theatres, in that, we understand, this same injunction prevented the picketing of the Washington and Olympic. The Negro operators claim that they would consider themselves curs at this time to accept the salvation (2) offered and leave the white men with whom they became affiliated to paddle their own canoe. They say that, much as it would appear on the face of it all that they are turning down a chance which Harlem believes they fought for, colored people must be made to understand that there are principles involved which preclude their accepting Mr. Schiffman's offer at this time. To cap the climax of the whole matter, it has been brought to us that the musicians at the Lafayette have been called out by their union, and white musicians now playing, we have been told, at the Plaza, another house which is controlled by Mr. Brecher, have been notified to take up their instruments and walk out of the house by October 9. It will be readily seen that this fight between the union and the Brecher interests is even deeper than any one of us thought at the outset. From time to time Local 306 has assured this writer that Negro operators will not be confined to working in the theaters in Harlem. When we first started to ask for a chance for the Negro operators we naturally thought that they should be given an opportunity in those houses being supported by Negroes. On the other hand, it is well to remember that after those Negroes became members of the union they automatically became part and parcel of the organization, and we have been assured that Negro operators would go into the Plaza Theatre under union conditions if Mr. Brecher saw fit to place them there. In sounds fule to say that Negro operators should be sent to Broadway (3) where they would meet that they mean well by the colored operators, but such a statement is avoid of common-sense in a day when every intelligent reader is aware of the conditions as they exist between white and colored people here, it is an insult to offer it as a subterfuge. We would today counsel our colored operators to accept Mr. Schiffman's offer and go to work, but would we dare do that which is against the very principles of those things for which we as a race have been fighting? Is it not a fact that we have been fighting for equal opportunities along all lines? Truth to tell, we have no advice to offer in this matter except to say that Local 206 at first denied Negroes certain rights; we came out and spoke against the conditions and both the union and the Negro operators assured us that the conditions had been changed to the satisfaction of the colored men. We are forced in any way to make in sacrifices which would mean the loss of our position, the good favor of those who did not show a tendency such good favor until months and months after their coming here, the good will of actors who are more in our debt than we are in theirs, or anything that will mean a deep sacrifice, we rise to remark that now is the time that some of us should wake up to the realization that only until such time as we are prepared to make sacrifices in behalf of our own will we secure those God-given rights which others have in the past enjoyed. WE ARE PREPARED FOR THE WORST. The Douglas Theatre A story of the war with a brand-new twist—a film that will intrigue popular interest by virtue of its different plot. This is the prediction for "Her Man o' War" ventured by picture experts everywhere. Exotic Jetta Goudal, recently elevated to stardom by dint of her splendid performance in "Three Faces East," portrays the star role in this picture which is scheduled for showing at the Douglas Theatre on Saturday next. Unlike other war pictures, this story is laid behind the German lines during the war, rather than in Allied territory. It concerns the adventures of two American doughboys, who are held as prisoners by the Germans. Calling themselves deserters, they are in reality spies, and the manner in which they gather valuable information and the unique method they employ to transmit it to their American companions on the Allied front furnishes the plot material of the piece. Miss Goudal is seen as a German peasant upon whose farm one of the prisoners is forced to work by the German authorities. Here is the love interest, an affair which works out in a most unusual way. The setting is Alsace-Lorraine and practically all of the action takes place behind the line, with no actual battle scenes included.

On last Saturday afternoon Mr. Frank Schiffman made a statement that he was prepared to accept the conditions of Local 306 affecting the conditions at the Lafayette Theatre. Mr. Schiffman asserted that every demand of the union would be met and this paper immediately consulted those supposed to know on the other side, but was told that those conditions should include the signing of other theatres which were involved when the colored men went out of the Lafayette. To the best of our ability and in behalf of those who have followed the events of this fight, we secured another side of the matter when Thomas Johnson, who is unquestionably the chief operator at the Roosevelt and a Negro, made the assertion that the Negro operators could not, under any circumstances, accept the offer of Mr. Schiffman unless the Lafayette included the white operators with which the Negroes are affiliated. Johnson said that at least two other theatres are involved and the colored and white men are battling as a perfect unit for what they consider their rights. The final conference was held in Mr. Brecher's office at the Plaza Theatre with Sam Kaplan, president of the union, and Vice-President Elchorn. It is said that the union officials again refused to accept a contract for the Lafayette unless the Brecher people signed for the other houses. In the meantime, it has come to us that the Negro musicians at the Lafayette Theatre have been notified to withdraw by Local S02. American Federation of Labor, and it has been emphatically told to us that the white musicians at the Plaza Theatre, another house controlled by Mr. Brecher, will be forced to come out the latter part of this week. It is also alleged that every angle that can be lawfully brought to bear will be called into play by the union. Johnson, in making a statement to this paper, says that he has worked in many white theatres in wholly white districts in all the years gone by and he sees no reason now why Negro operators ITAN CASINO DR 6.000 SQ.

That there will be further developments in this fight goes without saying. Schiffman has impressed us as being prepared to wage as strong a battle as any man moved with what he believes to be right. while the union men claim they will also wage a battle that will last until the snows of spring start to melt.

"It is rather difficult to point out just what incident or event in one's life is the 'lucky break,'" said Barthelmess, "but it seems to me that my lucky break came in the summer of 1916. "I had been dabbling around the Eastern studios, doing 'extra' work and didn't seem to be making any progress. Having left college, I had my heart set on finding my niche in motion pictures, but Lady Luck seemed to evade me. "I began to get discouraged; the future—in motion pictures—took on a hazy aspect and I hardly knew which way to turn. The Naval Training Cruise attracted my attention and I commenced to think seriously of joining it. "The morning of the day I had set for my naval adventure, a telephone call interrupted my plans and changed my whole life. If this call had not come at this opportune moment, I cannot say where I would have drifted. "The call was from Alla Nazimova and resulted in my playing the leading juvenile role in 'War Brides.'" Barthelmeess' latest picture is "The Amateur Gentleman," which Inspiration has just released through First National and which comes to the Roosevelt Theatre this Saturday. Dorothy Dunbar, Gardner James, John Milljan, Herbert Grimwood and Edward Davis are included in the cast.

He is busy preparing for a nation-wide tour with Miss Waters and her company, and if all the plans he has on foot materialize, the popular comedienne will again raep a harvest of dollars and anlause on her big trip.

ON THE STAGE As Harrison Sees It BY NUREET H. HARRISON. IN industrial disputes there are said to be two sides, that of "labor" and that of the "employers." Common-sense should suggest, however, that this does not cover the whole case. It stands really clear that employers are concerned, each of whom is beheaded in its own favor, even necessary to sift and re-stake the available facts and present the evidence which them is less keen that employers are watching. The present stint situation at the Layette Theatre is no exception, and I am prepared to receive some hard knocks for my own individual account of the matter. But that is beside the point. IN INDUSTRIAL disputes there are said to have "common-senses" not cover the whole case. It is as follows: "We are not to deliberate falsehoods are involved necessary to sift and re-stain the "them which is less hectin than the "them" it is not and heavy to be so. The "them" will be accepted, and I am my own individual account of the man's work. About three weeks ago, an incident of the theaters and the told at that time that it was a quest which the employees were refused the ions established by their union, who some of them were to be in the same way when they were in which the storm broke. I should that they could count upon my support I prepared to lay aside my usual position. But I made it quite difficult to take the place of the man with the Union but "to free the uance with the American Federation of the friendly to its union. Their policy is white worker could consider the "black worker was working men, who kept him out of the him "salal" for getting their jobs at the able to him. My attitude of this is to be the "blacks" of which the Company as Colonel Roosevelt responsibility for of an alleged necessity for white, unagainst. Worker workers whom they have that's all will be "the only one of the other." My contention during the "ONLY TWO MEN was that, in due to the rights of Negros in Harlem to get him to have a whole work in the "Harlem" and then that will still be the question. When the strike broke out, then view and on the allegations made to come to Harlem and by some of the other factors, they will not be the agreement because they had joined the union in places (2) that all the other movie "colored movie operators (3) that Mr. May and Mr. W. W. and Mr. W. W. are so much more like the union scale of wages for movie allegations were true, I spoke for two and three years on the subject of the action on the ground of my acceptance without further inquiry, because I'm an investigator at that stage. I was an agony and so much more like the union. My second meeting was broken, and I did not see the injunction, however. This was a precipitating a light assemblage which is still raging. On the other hand, the workers of the trade were so far in advance, and the law of the state. I believe the former opinion of the merits of the latter has is how it came about. What I the suspension of public speaking conversation in the local station how fayette, afforded me both the time of my first premises by reading his letter, and the way he was to admission the Negros, and when it was made to organize a school for motto colored operators and swarm over the land of the town of the town of Harlem, let them meet by themselves in Harlem up to supervise their Jim Crow meach colored union was required to meet the same union's business meeting at Liberty Hall last Sunday, organized the colored movie operator. I learned further that all the Brecher's work was in the form of the work of the other who always had called me strike-in and always in the form of the work of the other who were something in the way about their claim that primarily at heart it here in order to do the work of the time. I am a firm part of the management was willing to grant it even all of the union conditions, and had always maintained working conditions. I was a firm part of the work that I had always a surrender all all of the condition precedent to calling off of this to pass out of the picture as well. My aim was to object the "union," if he were needed for freedom of conditions. I saw no reason why I should not be the only one of the others. And I frankly admit, with full to be those between a group of white operators and a group of Harlem and a group of the Harlem negro operators, and an apothecae were forced to do otherwise) denied a chance to secure decent wages and the work of these two groups of white formers. About three weeks ago I heard that trouble was brawling between the management of the theatre and the Negro motion-picture operators. I was told at that time that it was a question of wages and the status which the employee had in the theatre and the working condition of their union. That appealed to me and I at once notified some of the colored operators who worked at other movie houses in Harlem that when the storm broke I should like to render them some assistance that they could count upon my assistance. I was not friendly to its union activities and speak on behalf of the man. But I made it quite clear that, unlike Abraham Lincoln, my prime object was not to save the union but to "free the slaves." For my long previous acquaintance with the American Federation of Labor did not preclude me from being friendly to its union. I should consider his fight for bread to be directed solely against the capitalist, the black worker was opposed by the general run of white working men, who kept him out of their union for the most part and yet cared him "scald" for getting their jobs. This matter has been maintained consistently since 1817, when Samuel Gompers assumed at Carnegie Hall, in the face of Colonel Roosevelt's responsibility for the East St. Louis riot, on the ground of an alleged necessity for white unionists to defend their jobs by against a Negro worker. The Negro worker had been found fully justified on pages 20-23 of my book, "African Awakens." My contention during the early part of the present strike of ONLY TWO MEN was that, in defense of the men and in vindication of the rights of Negroes in Harlem to get good work and good wages, I would have them as long as I believed that he stood with them. That is still my contention. When the strike broke out, then, I took the platform on behalf of this view and on the allegations made to me both by the white union men who came to Harlem and by some of the colored ones. The male allegations were very clear. I spoke for the union men and the colored men because they had joined the union and had installed white "scabs" in their places; (2) that all the other movie houses in Negro Harlem were employing colored movie operators; (3) that Mr. Schiffman, as general manager of the Brecher group of the theatre and the theater company, dollars a week which, I was informed, was the union scale of wages for movie operators. In the belief that all these allegations were true, I spoke for two nights (on Seventh avenue at 182nd and 133rd streets) on behalf of the strikers and their union, who have no excuse to be silent, and I spoke for two nights without further inquiry, because I never did pretend that I was an impartial investigator at that stage. I was an advocate with a brief for one side only. My second meeting was broken up by the police, who declared that it was against the mandate of a court which, said they, had issued an injunction. I did not see the injunction, however, and finished my talk at another location. Thus was precipitated a fight for the freedom of speech and lawful assemblage which is still ruling. On the merits of that fight I have nothing to say here, because I have separated it from the case of the Union versus the Lafayette. I believe the former to be well worth my support; but my opinion of the merits of the latter has certainly undergone revision. And this What I Discovered. The suspension of public speaking on the strikers' behalf, and chance conversation in the social station house with Burr,اسhter, the late-middle-class leader of the class of the men of the 19th century, is a common of the first premises. By reading back in the file of the artist's N. J. I. learned that down to a few months ago the witness had bitterly opposed the admission of Negroes, and when it admitted them (after the threat and best men of the 19th century) was not more than 100 people, the cloud of colored orators and stars for which it dined by a bobbling of the unrest of the refused to let them attend its meetings, but offered the insulting proposal to let them meet by themselves in Harlem—with a white union official to be sent by the proposed law. Jim Cromt meetings of this despite the fact that each coloured unionion was based on $200.00 to be supported by the same old white unionists. These facts were corroborated at the free speech meeting at Liberty Hall last Sunday by Frank R. Crossworth, who had recognized the so-called more operas. In this gave no pause. And when I was at the time of the activities of the union, I was not sure of the white unionists had called no strikes in those houses where white men only had always worked and were still working, it seemed to me that there was something highly about their claim that they had the betroto workers' interests to the same way. But he was not to be a certain one. For the working of the fight up here in order to secure a victory somewhere else. And when I learned from Mr. Sims, one of the two strikers that the Lafayette management is willing to grant the union scale of wages and most of the money of the union and the other of the other group, he had always maintained working conditions at least equal to those demanded by the union, that the union officials would not accept such on easy surrender, but the other of the other group would not accept such on easy surrender, but the other five houses, as a condition precedent to calling the search of the other when it was not. This passed out of the picture as a union sympathizer. For, as I said before, my primary object was to free the slaves and not to have the other of the other group. (I.e., the union scale of wages and union conditions) I saw no reason why I should have for the reason that I had to choose between a group of white men who had fired out, that if I had to choose from their theatre when they took it over to make way for two Harlem. N.J. was the only one who had the time to be forced to do other wise things and both the two were to be forced to do other who have for the other. The two groups were then two groups and conditions—if as I say, I had to choose the same. White Operators in Harlem Under Enlon Rule. But worse was yet to come. I went to see Mr. Schiffman at the Lafayette to get his version of the facts, and in the course of our conference he hinted that he had had given much falsehood with my facts. This netted me, and when he told me that he had houses in Harlem had Negro operators was untrue. I "called his friend." The was an invitation and a dare to "go and see for yourself." Was he willing to go with me and be confronted with the facts? He was—on the understand—that he could not make an unoffident after my inquiry, stating what were the facts as I had found them. That seeming perfectly fair, I agreed—lived up to my agreement. But worse was yet to come. I wore to get his version of the facts, and in turn I wore to get the facts, and when he said that the wolf in Harlem had Negro operators was was an invitation and a dare to "go out" and be confronted with that I would not. I wore what were the facts as I had found the lived up to my agreement. I went first to the Odion in 15th Street and the Colored Opera had always been. Not satisfied with into the projection room, and found Score one for Mr. Schiffman. From the theater, he used a colored operand and off duty. Mr. Schiffman. I went next to the Lincolnager told me that they employed two operator was white, and had been wounded. Mr. Schiffman, who accepted them in Jonas said to the whale. was yet to come. I went to see Mr. Schiffman on the facts, and in the course of our conversation he told me that he said that the statement that all the Negro operators was untrue. I "called his hard on and a dare to "go and see for yourself," and be confronted with the facts? He was—on the facts, he said, he did not visit after my facts as I had found them. That seeming perfect agreement, it to the Odilon in 1458 street, where the men who operated employers there were. Not satisfied with the room, and found a white man operating it. Schiffman. From there I went to the Roos. I used a colored operator when the white one is. Next to the Lincoln, in West 1858 street, went next to the Lincoln, in West 1858 street, that they employed two colored "relief men," white and with been them a long time. I had had enough. I made men who accepted them in sportsmanlike manner, to the whale. I went first to the Odion in 1458 street, where the manager himself informed me that the three movie operators employed there were white, and informed me that the three movie operators climbed upstairs, looked into the projection room, and found a white man. Score one for the projection room, and found a white man. Score one for Mr. Schiffman. From there I went to the Roosevelt and found that, while they use a colored operator when the white one is out to dinner, they use a white man when the white operator. Score two for Schiffman. I went next to the Lincoln, in West 1458 street, when a nigger told me that they employed two colored "relief men," but that their operator was white, and had been with them a long time. Score three for Schiffman, who accepted them in sportmanlike manner. So that that's, as Jonah said to the whale. From Advocate to Mediator. Of course I could no longer advocate the entire cause of those who had—er—misrepresented such fundamental facts to me. But for the sake of the colored boys and the colored community I stayed in the game, trying to secure a conference between the two parties and an amicable adjustment, if that were possible. On last Monday night I secured the consent of the union's secretary (the said he was) and business agent to hold a conference between them and Meersx Schiffman and Burrt with myself and either Mr. Romeo. Dougherty and another gentleman as mediators. Prior to that understanding the secretary to know whom I represented. I gave him my card and told him that I had been previously used by the union as an advocate of its cause before the public and that I might be regarded as "one of the public. They agreed to meet me in front of the Lafayette to go in and confer with Meersx Schiffman and Burrt at 2 PM. And they made the same agreement with Mr. Schiffman. But when I met them on Tuesday in front of the theatre they hardly knew me! They finally declared that they didn't even know that there was to be any conference at 2:00.

Always a drawing card in this neck o' the woods, the Drake and Walker Company breezed into town at a time when things are ripe for entertainment of the public attending the Lincoln, for this is the regular fall season at Mrs. Downs' ever popular little house, and it was a mighty warm welcome given Drake and his bunch, both Monday afternoon and evening. This means an unusually big week for the Lincoln, which has been drawing fine houses during the past few weeks. The sudden change of warm weather did not seem to affect the attendance records and Thursday they will be looking for a place on the roof to put them.

Preparations for the big start have been going on secretly for the past few weeks, and those in a position to know say that everything up at the practically new casino will be in ship shape form. Seats have been so arranged that every fan will be in a position to view the games under auspices superior to that enjoyed in the past, which again speaks for Messrs. Sibley, Mercer, King and Douglas in giving this part of the town the best at their command. Among the white teams basketball started last week as the Otayas are taking no chances and will be prepared to do their best against the crack colored outfit that retired last year with the remarkable record which found them victors in every game on their own home court. The colored lads also had the honor of defeating the Celtics but fell down in the final game for the honors. Trained too fine was the opinion of those who have followed the fortunes of the Douglas men, hence this year they will know just where their weak point was and prepare for the big tussle. BORDENTOWN BEATS ST. JOHN BORDENTOWN BEATS ST. JOHN BORDENTOWN, Oct. 2.—Prospects for another successful year on the gridiron took on a brighter hue to supporters of the Bordentown Manual Training eleven when the Jersey state school triumphed over the last eleven of St. John the Baptist School of Philadelphia today. Equally matched in weight and speed, both teams fought hard through three periods with the score standing 6-0 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Bordentown's attack strengthened here, however, and a clever off tackle thrust by Goosby put the ball on St. John's five yard line, and a minute later Waples took it over for the first score. Just before the end of the game Lewis plunged through center for the second touchdown. The whistle blew with the score standing at 12-0. With the Morgan game this Saturday at Baltimore. Coaches Granger and Hastle are putting in strenuous work in an attempt to bring the squad's attack up to a point where it can hope to pierce the strong Morgan defense. Last year the superior weight of Morgan proved too much for Bordentown after a bloodthirsty struggle, and the Baltimore colleges left Trenton at the end of a 7-6 score. Jersey rookers are rooting hard for the school boys to average this defeat by beating the Bear in his own den. The line-up for Bordentown: R. T. Williams L. T. Brinkley R. T. Williams L. G.

In the interests of fairness, justice and accuracy, The New York Age suggests that in the future all reference made to Gene Tunney be that of "white heavyweight champion," and not "heavyweight champion of the world." Tunney, adopting the dodging tactics of Jack Dempsey, has found it advisable to hide behind the COLOR LINE to escape a dreaded meeting in the ring with Harry Wills, colored heavyweight champion. The world's heavyweight championship title can never be rightly won nor held while a white champion refuses to fight a colored champion, or vice versa. There exists today two distinct heavyweight divisions—one of white fighters and one of colored fighters. Give Tunney his just deserts—no more or no less. If some of his over-enthusiastic admirers want to make him what HE IS NOT, that is their business. Let us stick to the facts and the truth. That the above suggestion from The New York Age will be followed by every sport writer on Negro newspapers is a foregone conclusion. The Amsterdam News gladly accepts the suggestion from the Age, which we consider one of the most timely made at a time when a studied attempt to keep Wills out of his chance for the championship will be the result of Tunney's victory over Dempsey.

Rousseau Harvey of Mt. Vernon defeated James McCoy of New York City by 4 up and 3 to go. This match was hotly contested and was anybody's match up to the final round. At the end of the first 18 holes Harvey led by 2 up. Playing the third round McCoy cut down this lead and became 1 up. At the 21st green Harvey won making the 25th and 29th. Harvey became 2 up and held this lead, finally winning by 4 up. McCoy, who had not played golf for several years, has been coming along rapidly and next year will be one of the leading contenders in tournaments. In Class B, J. Baker of Plainfield. N. J., won from J. Archer of New York City by 5 up and 4 to go. Archer was the surprise of the tournament as this is his first year at golf.

Holds Big Rally The Boys' Work Department hold a rally last Saturday evening in the gym, with 160 grammar and junior high school boys present. Following the singing of a few popular songs, Timothy Sullivan took the stage and made a wonderful hit with his comic songs. He also rendered several popular ditties on the harmonica. William Furbert, billed as "The Original Top Charleston Artist," came in for his share of the honors, for he certainly shakes some "nasty" feet. The crowd called for "Deacon Hamilton, but the good brother, not having his own ukelele, could not get going and after a brief appearance, excused himself. Upon a request for some jazz, Lawrence Easter favored with some snappy uke" selections. Easter is a jazz band all by himself. Willis Hanks added spice to the program with his comic jokes in dialect. After the merriment had ceased, William H. Austin, chairman of the Boys' Work Committee, awarded the "Y" emblem for all-around service in the Department for the past summer to Willis Hanks, George Stroman, Lambert Plasket, Joseph Hamilton, William Henderson, Alfred Potter, Clarence Wright, William Canegata, William Johnson, and Arthur Dorsey.

Bacharach Giants and Chicago in 3-3 Tie in First World's Series Game Crowd Estimated at 5,000 on Hand to Witness First Big Clash Between East and West Staged at Atlantic City ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 1.—The American Giants, Chicago's inspired ball club, and the Atlantic City Bacharachs, newly crowned champions of the Eastern Colored League, met in the first game of the world's series here this afternoon and battled through nine thrilling innings to a tie. Play was called in the ninth with the score 3-3 and swiftly deepening shades of night taking possession of the field. A crowd estimated at 5,000 viewed the game from the stands and bleechers of the Bacharach Park. Tried and veteran pitchers faced each other at the start of this game. Dick Lundy, youthful manager of the Bees, sent to the mound his great right hander "Rat" Henderson, while the Chicagoans trouted out Babe Currle, who was the sensation of the cast last season as a member of Hilldale's world beating pitching staff. Rube like Rat flings them from the right side and is the bane of ambitious hitters. a pitched ball and White advanced his teammate to second with a perfect bunt. Lundy came up and was given a walk. Then, as a bit of master strategy Currle was taken out and Willie Foster, the speedy left hander, sent to the mound to pitch against Farrell. Foster fanned Farrell and the Bees' last chance to score faded. AMERICAN GLANTS. AB.R.H.P.A.E. It did not take long for the Giants to display the fire and dash that enabled them to overthrow the Monarchs in the west. In the second inning, Hines, the aggressive catcher of the invaders, opened hostilities with a single to left field. Sweatt got a free ticket from Rat and Marlarcher made it three on and none out when Marcell failed to handle his bunt down the third base line. Henderson fanned Williams, but Jackson sent a roller down to the pitcher's box and the Bacharach hurler threw wild to the plate, permitting the fleet Hines to come racing home with the first run of the game. In the fourth the Bees began to sing in their own right and rallied to score two runs and go into the lead. The rally began with two men out. Cummings having opened the inning by dying via the Marlarcher to Brown route and Marcell having followed this up by fanning incoriolously. White started the fireworks with a single to left field. Lundy smacked one to the right garden and White scored from first on this single. hurling his pounds displacement feet foremost into the Giants' catcher, who covered the plate in an effort, to get the throw from right field. Another single, from the bat of Farrell this time, sent Lundy home with the run that put the Bees in front. With the stands in an uproar Jones drove one at Williams, who played faultless ball at second base, and the Bees' catcher was tossed out at first for the third out of the inning. In the sixth the Giants came back with vengeance. Singles by Sweett. Norlarcher and Jackson accounted for two runs and the Fosterites were again in the van by a one run margin. But with the Bees' seventh came Luther Farrell, slugging right field, to stave off the threatened defeat with a lusty clout that carried the ball over the right field fence for the first home run of the series. This homer tied up things again and Farrell was busy collecting money from admiring fans for five minutes. Both teams made strong bids for the game in the eighth. Hines opened the inning with a three bagger to left field but died there for lack of effective hitting on the part of his mates.

Lundy came up and was given a walk. Then, as a bit of master strategy Currie was taken out and Willie Foster, the speedy left hander, sent to the mound to pitch against Farrell.

Darkness forced the officials to call off the game at the end of the ninth and it was decided to play again at the same park on Saturday. No game had originally been scheduled for that date. In this opening contest both teams seemed well matched and both were guilty of errors caused by overawareness rather than inability. There were thrilling situations enough to please the most ardent fans. WILLS-SHARKEY IN SPOTLIGHT Harry Wills, now rated the outstanding challenger for heavy-weight honors, is swinging into the last few days of training for his fifteen round bout with Jack Sharkey, of Boston, at Ebbets Field Columbus Day, which will mark the close of the 1926 outdoor season. Wills has worked for this match as never before, realizing that in Sharkey he is meeting the toughest opponent in several years. The Brown Panther has worn out several sets of sparring partners in his daily workouts at Billy Grupp's Harlem gymnasium, and Manager Paddy Mullins has had more than his share of trouble keeping him supplied. Wills knows that in Sharkey he is not being fed a set-up. He will not find another Tut Jackson or a Kid Norfolk in the clever, two-fisted young Hub heavyweight who recently astounded the fistic world by outpointing George Godfrey, of Leiperville, Pa. No one realizes this more fully than Paddy. Mullins' Brown Panther. And no one realizes more fully than Wills what a victory over Sharkey will mean. Wills and Sharkey stand out as the leading contenders for the big crown now worn by Gene Tunney, the Greenwich Village-er-Marine. Wills knows that he will have to be at his best to beat the youngster who holds victories over such heavyweights as Jack Renault, George Cook, Floyd Johnson, Jim Maloney, King Solomon, Johnny Risko, Jack DeMave, Eddie Huffman and many others. He will have to be closer to his old fighting form than he was when he encountered Bartley Madden and Lulu Firno. The advance sale for the big windup war of the outdoor season has been smashing records every day. Promoter Humbert J. Fugazy is more then surprised with the demand for tickets. "I figured that Wills and Sharkey was about the best heavyweight bout available, but the tremendous demand for tickets has far surpassed my expectations."

This Week.

If you have read the Amsterdam News for the past few months, it is unnecessary to try any lengthy introduction of our old friend Canada Lee. However, we believe it is timely to remind you that Canada is the youngster who has been creating a sensation in the amateurs and as a boxer he stands with the topnotchers. Canada has bowled them over in such regular order he could not resist the importunities of many managers to hearten unto the call of the professional ranks, and this week at Madison Square Garden he will make his initial appearance among the money getters. If they give Canada the same break in the ranks of professional pugilism as they gave him in the amateurs, then we expect to continue to grace the columns of this paper with his accomplishments all the time. Lee is one of the luminaries of the Salem-Crescent Club. one of the leading organizations of its kind in this country, and he has brought added lustre to his club not only by his sterling performances but by his gentlemanly conduct which is a feature of the boys of good old Salem. Good luck, Canada! Tom Anderson Writes Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, The Amsterdam News, New York City. Dear Friend Dougherty: I have returned to the province after a most pleasant as well as a most profitable summer in Gotham. School work is breezing along smoothly and happily because of the excellent morale of the pupils and the hearty loyalty of our faculty group. I shall be doing scout work for the Howard football staff this fall. I plan to cover all of Lincoln's home games, including the Tuskegee-Lincoln game at Franklin Field on Oct. 29, and shall forward you an "earful of dope" on the big battle if I can find the time to write it. I want to thank you for sending us The Amsterdam News every week. Not only is the paper popular with the students, but it keeps me in touch with the big center of gravity. With nearestist congratulations upon the rapld progress of The Amsterdam News and kindest personal regards. I am. Yours friendly. TOM ANDERSON. kable!

MOSES, who represented the New York "News" in the New- papermen's Pocket Billiard Tournai- ment and was defeated by Garcia of the Amsterdam News, along with the management of the Emporium, feels that the game, while well played and attended, did not gain the end sought. The idea was to have every New York newspaper represented by a player in the form of a tournament, and now, by special request, another tournament among the scribes is proposed for Oct. 13, 14, 15. It is not a question of sharpshooting, but to try to create a social sportman co-operation among the local sport sheet writers. THE special efforts of the Lafayette Billiard Emporium to cover all sporting events by their Special Double Sporting News Service is being heartily received, as noted by the attendance on special occasions, as well as the service rendered daily of races, baseball and other sports which are posted on the boards. JONES and Gardner are returning home this week. Willie Tyler has taken his cue and fiddle to the City of Brotherly Love for an indefinite stay. We wish him luck. THE week beginning Oct. 11 is the 14th anniversary of the Lafayette Billiard Emporium, and, befitting the occasion, the management, Willis & Minor, will give away practical and useful souvenirs of the occasion. RAY TO LEAD BATES ELEVEN LEWISTON, Me., Oct. 2.—Chas. D. Ray, of Westchester, Pa., is the first colored football captain Bates College ever had. His election this week was unanimous. There was no quibbling over the color line. Not only was he the logical man for the place, being recognized as one of the best backs in Maine, but he was also the popular choice of his teammates. Probably there is no student at Bates held in higher esteem by the faculty and student body. His scholastic attainments are on a par with his football playing. Donald Cobb of Gardiner was elected football captain at the close of last season, but his failure to return this fall left the team without a captain. Since coming to Bates in 1923, Ray has been an outstanding figure in athletics. He is famous for his forward passes, which are bullet-like in speed and accuracy. He plays in the outfield on the varsity baseball team, is a good hitter and fast base-runner. His track work also has attracted attention. Charlie is a senior, but he has a brother Dave Ray, who entered Bates last year and already has won a place in the backfield in the varsity eleven. Dave is big and bulky, a striking contrast to wiry little Charlie. Tigers Expect Big Season The Tuxedo Tigers of East Orange, N. J., basketball quintet which created what is believed to be a record last year, will start on another record-breaking campaign early in October, when the team opens the season with the Philadelphia Flashes Big Five at the Orange Armory. The same outfit which played last year will again be in action. The team appears very strong to date, with Pinkie Clark and Lanky Jones, by many critics considered to be the two greatest offensive players of the 1925-26 collegiate season, in the line-up. Wilmer Jones, Chick Edwards and Peacock will complete the line-up. HELD AS AUTO THIEF. Wilton Williams, address unknown, was held in 1,000 ball for the alleged theft of an automobile belonging to Mrs. Lillie Gibson, 528 W. 145th street, when he was arraigned in the Washington Heights Court Monday morning. GEHRIG TO PLAY IN BIG SERIES The annual series of the Lincoln and Bronx Giants, for the championship of The Bronx, will begin Sunday afternoon, October 10. In the series this year the white team will have a number of major league players, including Lou Gehrig and possibly Babe Ruth of the Yankees, providing the world series is over by that time. The Lincoln's lineup has been augmented by Mack Eggleston and Canady of the Harrisburg Giants and by several other players. Despite the record crowd at the Yankee Stadium last Sunday, a big crowd was present at the Catholic Protectory Oval to see Hillidae in their final appearance in New York this season. The Lincoln Giants beat "Red" Ryan, 5-3 in the first game, but lost the other contest by a score of 13-6. Campbell was on the mound for Hillidae for the last game. The fielding of "Clint" Thomas and "Rep" Young were features. The box scores were as follows: HULDALE AB. R. H. O. A. Briggs, rf. 4 0 1 0 0 Warfield, 2b. 4 0 1 0 0 Brown, 1b. 4 0 1 3 0 J.

Church "What Think Ye of Jesus the Christ?" This pointed question was the subject of the Rev. Dr. F. A. Cullen's discourse at the morning services at Salem Church just Sunday. Since his return Dr. Cullen has in his sermons been driving steadily at a more clean-cut attitude for Christ and His principles of life. At the evening worship the new order of service for the first Sunday was instituted. There was no sermon. Instead, Dr. Cullenadministered the sacrament for the first time during the day. This custom is to be the regular order hereafter. The Communion wine was mixed with water drawn from Jacob's well, which the pastor had brought with him on his return from the Holy Lands. Jacob's Dream. a pageant, was presented at the Lyceum by Mrs. Marshfield and a number of her co-workers. At the Epworth League Miss Luella Staples had charge of the program. In the morning Dr. Cullen baptized 15 bables and young children with water he had brought from the River Jordan. The members of the Official Board were quite surprised and charmed with the souvenirs that Dr. Cullen brought home for them. Sunday morning, directly after church services, the funeral services of Mrs. Sarah Boley were conducted by the pastor. Mrs. Boley was one of the original members at the beginning of Dr. Cullen's pastorate and had faithfully followed Salem's growth through all its stages. The pastor, the Rev. Dr. John W. Robinson, preached the Sunday SALE OF Coats AND Dresses Extraordinary Bargains ODESSA 2293 Seventh Ave. Morningside 0536 To Guarantee You Free Ex Spanish Nurse in DR. EDWARD SURGEON D. Hours 9 A.

Est. 132d Street, New York City ALBERT T. --- THE QUEEN OF SPADES MAGAZINE SECTION THIRD SECTION Chapter Five AT THE sight of the pistol, the Countess for the second time exhibited strong emotion. She shook her head and raised her hands as if to protect herself from the shot . . . then she fell backwards and remained motionless. "Come, an end to this childish nonsense!" said Hermann, taking hold of her hand. "I ask you for the last time; will you tell me the names of your three cards, or will you not?" The Countess made no reply. Hermann perceived that she was dead! *** Lizanka was sitting in her room, still in her ballroom dress, lost in deep thought. On returning home, she had hastily dismissed the chambermaid, who very reluctantly came forward to assist her, saying that she would undress herself, and with a trembling heart had gone up to her own room, expecting to find Hermann there, but yet hoping not to find him. At the first glance she convinced herself that he was not there, and she thanked her fate for having prevented him from keeping the appointment. She sat down without undressing, and began to recall to mind all the circumstances which in so short a time had carried her so far. It was not three weeks since the time when she first saw the young officer from the window—and yet she was already in correspondence with him, and he had succeeded in inducing her to grant him a nocturnal interview! She knew his name only through his having written it at the bottom of some of his letters; she had never spoken to him, had never heard his voice, and had never heard him spoken of until that evening. But, strange to say, that very evening at the ball, Tomsky, being piqued with the young Princess Pauline, who, contrary to her usual custom, did not flirt with him, wished to revenge himself by assuming an air of indifference. He therefore engaged Lizanka and had a long dance with her. During the whole of the time he kept teasing her about her partiality for Engineer officers; he assured her that he knew far more than she imagined, and some of his jests were so happily aimed that Lizanka thought several times that her secret was known to him. "From whom have you learnt all this?" she asked, smiling. "From a friend of a person very well known to you," replied Tomsky. "from a very distinguished man." "And who is this distinguished man?" His name is Hermann. Vikanka made no reply but her hands and feet lost all sense of feeling. "This Hermann," continued Tomsky, "is a man of romantic personality. He has the profile of a Napoleon and the soul of a Mephistopheles. I believe that he has at least three crimes upon his conscience. . . How pale you have become!" "I have a headache. . . But what did this Hermann—or whatever his name is—tell you?" "Hermann is very much dissatisfied with his friend; he says that in his place he would act very differently. . . I even think that Hermann himself has designs upon you; at least, he listens very attentively to all that his friend has to say about you." "And where has he seen me?" And where has he seen her. "In church, perhaps, or on the parade—God alone knows where. It may have been in your room, while you were asleep, for there is nothing that he—" Three ladies approaching him interrupted the conversation, which had become so tantalizingly interesting to Lizanka. Tomsky's words were nothing more than the customary small talk of the dance, but they sank deep into the soul of the young dreamer. The portrait, sketched by Tomsky, coincided with the picture she had formed within her own mind, and thanks to the latest romances, the ordinary countenance of her admirer became invested with attributes capable of alarming her and fascinating her imagination at the same time. She was now sitting with her bare arms crossed and her head, still adorned with flowers, sunk upon her uncovered bosom. Suddenly the door opened and Hermann entered. She shuddered. "Where were you?" she asked in a terrified whisper. "In the old Countess's bedroom," replied Hermann; "I have just left her. The Countess is dead." "My God! What do you say?" book: that do "And I am afraid" added Hermann. "that I am the cause of her death." Lizanka looked at him, and Tomsky's words found an echo in her soul: "This man has at least three crimes upon his conscience!" Hermann sat down by the window near her and related all that had happened. Lizanka listened to him in terror. So all those passionate letters, those ardent desires, this bold, obstinate pursuit—all this was not love! Money—that was what his soul yearned for! She could not satisfy his desire and make him happy! The poor girl had been nothing but the blind tool of a robber, of the murderer of her aged benefactress! Arrows By R. A. ADAMS The Color Bar OULD that I stood as other men: Proud and erect, because no ban Rivets their possibilities, Nor shadows dark their liberties.

Who knows the heights or depths I might THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6, 1926 -Bu ALEXANDER S. PUSHKIN She wept bitter tears of agonized repentance. Hermann gazed at her in silence: his heart, too, was a prey to violent emotion, but neither the tears of the poor girl, nor the wonderful charm of her beauty, enhanced by her grief, could produce any impression upon his hardened soul. He felt no pricking of conscience at the thought of the dead old woman. One thing only grieved him: the irreparable loss of the secret from which he had expected to obtain great wealth. "You are a monster!" said Lizanka at last. "I did not wish for her death," replied Hermann. "My pistol was not loaded." Both remained silent. The day began to dawn. Lizanka extinguished her candle; a pale light illumined her room. She wiped her tear-stained eyes and raised them toward Hermann. He was sitting near the window, with his arms crossed and with a fierce frown upon his forehead. In this attitude he bore a striking resemblance to the portrait of Napoleon. This resemblance struck Lizanka even. "How shall I get you out of the house?" said she at last. "I thought of conducting you down the secret staircase, but in that case it would be necessary to go through the Countess's bedroom, and I am afraid." "Tell me how to find this secret staircase—I will go alone." Lizanka arose, took from her drawer a key, handed it to Hermann and gave him the necessary instructions. Hermann pressed her cold, limp hand, kissed her bowed head, and left the room. He descended the winding staircase, and once more entered the Countess's bedroom. The dead old lady sat as if petrified; her face expressed profound tranquillity. Hermann stopped before her and gazed long and earnestly at her, as if he wished to convince himself of the terrible reality. At last he entered the cabinet, felt behind the tapestry for the door, and then began to descend the dark staircase, filled with strange emotions. At the bottom of the staircase Hermann found a door, which he opened with a key, and then traversed a corridor which conducted him into the street. THREE days after the fatal night, at nine o'clock in the morning, Hermann repaired to the Convent, where the last honors were to be paid to the mortal remains of the old Countess. Although feeling no remorse, he could not altogether stifle the voice of conscience, which said to him: "You are the murderer of the old woman!" In spite of his entertaining very little religious belief, he was exceedingly superstitious, and believing that the dead Countess might exercise an evil influence on his life, he resolved to be present at her obsequies, in order to implore her pardon. The church was full. It was with difficulty that Hermann made his way through the crowd of people. The coffin was placed upon a rich catafalque beneath a velvet curtain. The deceased Countess lay within it, with her hands crossed upon her heart, with a lace cap upon her head and dressed in a white satin robe. Around the catafalque stood the members of her household and relatives. Nobody wept—tears would have been out of place. The Countess was so old that her death could have surprised nobody, and her relatives had long looked upon her as being out of the world. A famous preacher pronounced the funeral sermon. In simple and touching words he described the peaceful passing away of the righteous, who had passed long years in calm preparation for a Christian end. "The angel of death found her," said the orator, "engaged in pious meditation and waiting for the midnight bridegroom." The service concluded amidst profound silence. The relatives went forward first to take farewell of the corpse. Then followed the numerous guests, who had come to render the last homage to her who for so many years had been a participant in their frivolous amusements. After these followed the members of the Countess's household. The last of these was an old woman of the same age as the deceased. The young women led her forward by the hand. She had not strength enough to bow down to the ground—she merely shed a few tears and kissed the cold hand of her mistress. Hermann now resolved to approach the coffin. He knelt down upon the cold stones and remained in that position for some minutes; at last he arose, as pale as the deceased Countess herself. He ascended the steps of the catafalque and bent over the corpse. At that moment it seemed to him that the dead woman darted a mocking look at him and winked with one eye. Hermann started back, took a false step and fell to the ground. Several persons hurried forward and raised him up. At that same moment Lizanka was borne fainting into the porch of the church. This episode disturbed for some minutes the solemnity of the gloomy ceremony. Among Reach, were I released from this black night Of denial, hate and scorn And loose the fetters that adorn My soul, my mind and bind my hands To lowly tasks, like iron bands? Who knows but I would then arise Gigantic, and the world surprise And benefit, without a mar? Then, that might shake the color bar! Democracy! Democracy! Art thou only a mockery? And freedom for the few Whose skin is white, whose blood is blue? Will not sickness and death hefall The white, black, yellow, brown, red and all? Can whites love whites, no others trust. When all must soon come to the dust And greedy worms their white skins mar? For there they'll find no color bar! —Henry T. Bradley. Both remained silent. Chapter Six the congregation arose a deep murmur, and a tall, thin chamberlain, a near relative of the deceased, whispered in the ear of an Englishman, who was standing near him, that the young officer was a natural son of the Countess, to which the Englishman coldly replied: "Oh!" During the whole of that day Hermann was strangely excited. Repairing to an out-of-the-way restaurant to dine, contrary to his usual custom, he drank a great deal of wine, in the hope of deadening his inward agitation. But the wine only served to excite his imagination still more. On returning home he threw himself upon his bed without undressing, and fell into a deep sleep. When he awoke it was already night and the moon was shining into the room. He looked at his watch. It was a quarter to three. Sleep had left him. He sat down upon his bed and thought of the funeral of the old Countess. At that moment somebody in the street looked in at his window and immediately passed on again. Hermann paid no attention to this incident. A few moments afterwards he heard the door of his anteroom open. Hermann thought that it was his orderly, drunk as usual, returning from some nocturnal expedition, but presently he heard footsteps that were unknown to him. Somebody was walking softly over the floor in slippers. The door opened and a woman dressed in white entered the room. Hermann mistook her for his old nurse and wondered what could bring her there at that hour of night. But the white woman glided rapidly across the room and stood before him—and Hermann recognized in her the old Countess. "I have come to you against my wish," she said in a firm voice. "but I have been ordered to grant your request. THREE, SEVEN, ACE will win for you if played in succession, but only on these conditions: That you do not play more than one card in twenty-four hours, and that you never play again during the rest of your life. I forgive you my death, on condition that you marry my companion Lizanka." With these words she turned around very quietly, walked with a shuffling gait towards the door and disappeared. Hermann heard the street door open and shut, and again he saw someone look in at him through the window. For a long time Hermann could not recover himself. He then rose up and entered the next room. His orderly was lying asleep upon the floor and he had much difficulty in waking him. The orderly was drunk, as usual, and no information could be obtained from him. The street door was locked. Hermann returned to his room, lit his candle, and wrote down all the details of his vision. Two fixed ideas can no more exist together in the moral world than two bodies can occupy one and the same place in the physical world. "THREE, SEVEN, ACE," soon drove out of Hermann's mind the thought of the dead Countess. "THREE, SEVEN, ACE" were perpetually running through his head and continually being repeated by his lips. If he saw a young girl, he would say: "How slender she is! Quite like the three of hearts." If anybody asked: "What is the time?" he would reply: "Five minutes to seven." Every stout man he saw reminded him of the ace. "THREE, SEVEN, ACE" haunted him in his sleep and assumed all possible shapes. One thought alone occupied his whole mind—to make a profitable use of the secret he had purchased so dearly. He thought of applying for a furlough so as to travel abroad. He wanted to go to Paris and tempt fortune in some of the public gambling houses that abound there. Chance spared him all this trouble. There was in Moscow a society of rich gamesters, presided over by the celebrated Chekalinsky, who had passed all his life at the card table and had amassed millions, accepting bills of exchange for his winnings and paying his losses in ready cash. His long experience secured for him the confidence of his companions, and his open house, his famous cook, and his agreeable and fascinating manner gained for him the respect of the public. He came to St. Petersburg. The young men of the capital flocked to his rooms, forgetting balls for cards, and preferring the emotions of them to the seductions of flirting. Narumov conducted Hermann to Chekalinsky's residence. Here he planned to play the three winning cards given him by the dead Countess. Narumov and Hermann passed through a suite of magnificent rooms filled with attentive domestics. The place was crowded. Generals and Privy Counsellors were playing at whist; young men were lolling carelessly upon the velvet-covered sofas, eating ices and smoking pipes. In the drawing room, at the head of a long table, around which were assembled a score of players, sat the master of the house keeping the bank. He was a man of about sixty years of age, of a very dignified appearance; his head was covered with silvery-white hair, his full, florid countenance expressed good-nature, and his eyes twinkled with a perpetual smile. Narumov introduced Hermann to him. Chekalinsky shook him by the hand in a friendly manner, requested him not to stand on ceremony, and then went on dealing. "EXCELSIOR" EXCELSIOR has been defined as higher, more elevated, more advanced. Objectively it is a call to take higher ground, climb to greater altitude, strive for greater accomplishments. Subjectively it expresses dissatisfaction with the present status, present attainments, and both the inner urge and the unfaltering determination to make progress in things which are contributory to self-advancement and to human development. Higher thoughts are imperative, for it is an incontrovertible fact that, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so he is." Thoughts are inner forces and potentialities which act upon our whole being and, to a great extent, decide our destiny. Evil thoughts incite to crime, social immoralities and debasing sensuality, while the habit of "thinking good" is productive of virtue and rectitude. Higher vision is of supreme importance, for, if one's vision is low and his horizon narrow he will indulge life EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS The game occupied some time. On the table lay more than thirty cards. Chekalinsky paused after each throw, in order to give the players time to arrange their cards and note down their losses, listened politely to their request, and more politely still, put straight the corners of cards that some player's hand had chanced to bend. At last the game was finished. Chekalinsky shuffled the cards and prepared to deal again. "Will you allow me to take a card?" said Hermann, stretching out his hand from behind a stout gentleman who was playing. Chekalinsky smiled and bowed silently, as a sign of acquiescence. Narumov laughingly congratulated Hermann on his abjuration of that abstention from cards which he had practiced for so long a period, and wished him a lucky beginning. "Stake!" said Hermann, writing some figures with chalk on the back of his card. "How much?" asked the banker, contracting the muscles of his eyes; "excuse me, I cannot see quite clearly." "Forty-seven thousand dollars," replied Hermann. At these words every head in the room turned suddenly round, and all eyes were fixed upon Hermann. "He has taken leave of his senses!" thought Narumov. "Allow me to inform you," said Chekalinsky, with his eternal smile, "that you are playing very high; nobody has ever staked more than two hundred and seventy-five dollars at once." "Very well," replied Hermann; "but do you accept my card or not?" Chekalinsky bowed in token of consent. "I only wish to observe," said he, "that, although I have the greatest confidence in my friends, I can only play against ready money. For my own part, I am quite convinced that your word is sufficient, but for the sake of the order of the game, and to facilitate the reckoning up, I must ask you to put the money on your card." Harman drew from his pocket a bank-note and handed it to Chekalinsky, who, after examining it in a cursory manner, placed it on Hermann's card. He began to deal. On the right a nine turned up, and on the left a three. "I have won!" said Hermann, showing his card. A murmur of astonishment arose among the players. Chekalinsky frowned, but the smile quickly returned to his face. "Do you wish me to settle with you?" he said to Hermann. "If you please," replied the latter. Chekalinsky drew from his pocket a number of bank-notes and paid at once. Hermann took up his money and left the table. Narumov could not recover from his astonishment Hermann drank a glass of lemonade and returned home. The next evening he again repaired to Chekalinsky's. The host was dealing. Hermann walked up to the table; the players immediately made room for him. Chekalinsky greeted him with a gracious bow. Hermann waited for the next deal, took a card and placed upon it his forty-seven thousand dollars, together with his winnings of the previous evening. Chekalinsky began to deal. A knave turned up on the right, a 'seven on the left. Hermann showed his seven. There was a general exclamation. Chekalinsky was evidently ill at ease, but he counted out the ninety-four thousand dollars and handed them over to Hermann, who pocketed them in the coolest manner possible and immediately left the house. The next evening Hermann appeared again at the table. Every one was expecting him. The Generals and Privy Counsellors left their whist in order to watch such extraordinary play. The young officers quitted their sofas, and even the servants crowded into the room. All pressed around Hermann. The other players stopped, impatient to see how it would end. Hermann stood at the table and prepared to play alone against the pale but still smiling Chekalinsky. Each opened a pack of cards. Chekalinsky shuffled. Hermann took a card and covered it with a pile of bank-notes. It was like a duel. Deep silence reigned around. Chekalinsky began to deal; his hands trembled. On the right a queen turned up, and on the left an ace. "Ace has won!" cried Hermann, showing his card. "Your queen has lost," said Chekalinsky politely. Hermann started; instead of an ace, there lay before him the queen of spades! He could not believe his eyes, nor could he understand how he had made such a mistake. At that moment it seemed to him that the queen of spades smiled ironically and winked her eye at him. He was struck by her remarkable resemblance. "The old Countess!" he exclaimed, seized with terror. Chekalinsky gathered up his winnings, shuffled the cards aflesh and the game went on as usual. A few weeks later Hermann lost his mind. "Three, seven, ace!" "Three, seven, queen!" he muttered constantly. (THE END.) and evaluate character accordingly. No one was ever inclined and influenced to strive for higher things until he had gotten a vision of these higher things, hence the importance of a higher vision! "Aim high" is an aphorism worthy of adoption, as it means to point higher, direct efforts toward higher things, strive for higher attainments and more worthwhile achievements—those which in character and utility are more exalted and exalting. The sphere of its functions includes coveting higher honors and being actuated by higher principles and aspirations. Climbing higher will be the natural result of aiming higher. To sum up: Higher thought will be productive of higher vision; higher vision will beget higher aspirations and determinations; higher aims will incite to struggle for higher, more commendable and more beneficial attainments, and all of these combined will culminate in higher living, both subjectively and objectively. In all activities of life one could adopt no more worthy or beneficial motto than EXCEL STOR 18TH ST., 223 W.—Furnished rooms to let, $7.50. Call all week.

Five-Year Fight Frees Texas Man Luther Collins Spent Five Years in Jail on Serious Charge After five years of unremitting effort, the Houston, Texas, branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has won a spectacular fight resulting in the liberation of Luther Collins, who was successively sentenced to death and then to 99 years in prison, and has spent in all five years in jail. Mr. Collins was convicted and sentenced on the testimony of a white woman of ill repute, and the contradictions in the testimony also together with evidence of Mr. Collins good character, made it evident he was innocent of the assault charged. Recently Luther Collins' 99-year sentence was reversed and the district attorney of Fort Ben County, Texas, gave the Collins attorney authority to try the case in any county he wished. The attorney promptly named Washington County, where the attorney had practised law for 25 years. The bond was at once reduced for $7,500 to $2,500 and Collins was released under bond in March of this year. Bond was signed by four of the most prominent white and four of the most prominent colored men of the city of Houston, one of the white men being secretary of the chamber of commerce, two of them bankers and the fourth a prominent merchant. After a number of consultations between the district attorney of Washington County, the Judge and the defense attorneys, the district attorney moved that the case be dismissed. Collins was freed early in September and is now working at the job he held before his arrest.

BUILDERS AND BUILDING MATERIALS Ornamental and Stucco a Specialty 208 EDGECOMBE AVENUE, near 145th St, New York Phone Edgecombe 5630 Government to Look Into Miami Peonage The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announces receipt of a letter from Everett Sanders, secretary to President Coolidge, stating that the President has directed the Attorney-General to investigate reports of virtual peonage enforced, against Negroes only, in the district of Miami, where he was prosecuted in labor at clearing away the storm debris. Mr. Sanders' letter to James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., reads as follows: Your telegram of September 27 has been received and, by the President's direction, it is at once being brought to the attention of the Attorney-General. Sincerely yours, EVERETT SANDERS, Secretary to the President SULLIVAN LAW HOLDS TWO FOR HEARINGS Two men were held for a further hearing on charges of having loaded revolvers in their possession when they were arraigned before Magistrate Douras in the Heights Court last week. Policeman Bevans, of the W. 135th street station, arrested Mattings Refd, 29, at his home, 32 W. 135th street. A neighbor complained that Refd had threatened to shoot him. The revolver was found in the man's pocket, Bevans said. When Magistrate Douras found that Reid served a 30-day sentence in the workhouse last August for stealing, he refused to admit him to bail. Arthur Yarbrough, 23, 113 W. 140th street, was arrested by policeman Sheehan of the 18th Division in a hallway at 101 W. 140th street, when Sheehan became suspicious of a loaded .38 caliber revolver in Yarbrough's hip pocket, the policeman charged. Ernest Wood, 23, 5 E. 137th street, who struck and killed Rose McCaulley, 2, white, in front of her home, 729 E. 134th street, with his truck on Sept. 11, was discharged for lack of evidence by Magistrate Flood in the Bronx Homicide Court, Wednesday. Wood, who was operating the truck without a license, pleaded guilty to that charge and was fined $50 or three days in jail. He did not have the money and was committing the crime. The little girl, who was the youngest of eight children, was running across the street toward her home when the fatal accident occurred. The front wheel struck her and the rear wheel passed over her body. She died instantly. 3 MEN AND WOMAN HELD IN DRUG NET Accused with having narcotics in their possession, three men and one woman were held for a further hearing by Magistrate Bernard Douras in the Washington Heights Court Thursday. They gave their names as: Marla Bell, 25, 129 W. 134th street; Jas. Johnson, 23, 141 W. 230th street; Arnold Pensey, 23, 2278 Seventh avenue, and John Howard, 25, 134th street. Detective Cinger, of the Narcotic Squad, told Magistrate Douras he found the three men and the woman gathered around a table in the Bell woman's apartment, on which he found two hypodermic syringes and a heroin mixture. Every new voter is required to present a certificate of literacy before he or she can vote. Evening School No. 139.

SERVES LIFE TERM IN ONLY TEN MINUTES LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Oct. 4.—The shortest life sentence probably ever recorded was served here in the Arkansas penitentiary a day last week. Will Willoby, 65, of Desarc, sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, died ten minutes after he had been admitted to the prison office. Prison authorities believe he took poison. Physicians say no. - Filling to pay his tax fare Richard Wagner, 33, white musician, 10233 Eighty-fifth street. Richmond Hill, L. I. was arrested on the complaint of Ira Richard, 38 W. 138th street, the driver. He was dismissed when he was arraigned before Magistrate Glatzmeyer in Night Court last week after he had paid the bill. Young Man Held as Thief Suspect Police Say He Confessed He Stole Clothing From Apartment On a charge of burglary, a twenty-two year old man, who gave his name as William Brown, 483 Lenox avenue, was held without ball for a further hearing by Magistrate Albert Vitale in the Harlem Court Thursday. Brown is charged with burglarizing the home of Ralph C. Hearns, white, building contractor, 17 E. 84th street. He gained entrance, it is charged, by removing the window screen, and stole several suits of clothes valued at $600, which he packed in two suit-cases. After the burglary, Brown is alleged to have taken the stolen articles to the areaway of an apartment house at 1291 Madison avenue. He was leaving the areaway when he was stopped by Policeman McCube of the East 104th street station. While being questioned, Brown broke away from the policeman and ran away, being caught in case of several blocks. Returning to the areaway, the policeman alleges he found the stolen clothing. Brown, it is said, then admitted stealing them from the Hearns home. NOOSE SENTENCE SOON AFTER ARRAIGNMENT CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—Two hours after he was arraigned on a charge of murder, Oscar Quarles was sentenced to be hanged in Criminal Court here Friday.

Church CONTINUING our discussion of the "Church Today," presented two weeks ago, we believe that it will readily be admitted that the African Methodist Episcopal Church denomination, founded in 1816 by Richard Allen, who afterward became its first bishop, is the greatest church organization, and one of the greatest organizations among Negroes in the world. The 1926 Negro Year Book gives it a membership of nearly 600,000 in its 6,900 churches. The value of its church property is estimated at $16,320,284. There are a larger number of Baptist, probably three and a half million, but these are organized along different lines and cannot be treated as one body. IT IS PROBABLE that the A. M. E. Church reached the highest point of all round usefulness to the Negro race prior to the death in 1915 of Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, then senior bishop, who showed those virile qualities of leadership so much needed today by the masses of Negroes. Since that time the denomination, while increasing its membership, is seemingly losing its spirituality by encouraging corrupt leadership and, consequently, losing its real usefulness. ITS QUADRENNIAL conferences and elections of bishops and general officers to fill vacancies elevates too many men to the bishopric and other high offices who are not imbued with a spirit of service either to their denomi- "Tuberculosis Kills Three Times as Many Negroes as Whites" Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Completes Survey of "White Plague" Among Its Policyholders The tuberculosis death rate among the industrial population of United States and Canadian cities is lowest in the Western Provinces of Canada, and highest, with only one exception, in the Eastern Provinces, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company announced recently. The East South Central States of the United States proved the highest of all, according to a statistical study the company conducted on the basis of its own policyholders. The study further revealed that tuberculosis mortality more than 2,000,000 Quebec and New Brunswick," the report stated. Next to the western provinces of Canada, it was found, the lowest tuberculosis death rate was registered in the individual population of the cities in the West North Central States. In this group Nebraska had the third best rank among the States and provinces. Delegate to Y. M. C. A. Knew He Was a Negro (Preston News Service.) HARTFORD, Conn., Oct. 4—Kenneth C. Aldridge, delegate to the world congress of the Y. M. C. A., held recently at Helsingfors, Finland, says that the Negroes were given the same consideration as other delegates. "Even the white American lad put aside his traditional prejudices, for the time being anyway," he said. Aldridge issued a statement of his impressions, which reads, in part, as follows: "It often happens when a Negro returns from travel in Europe or some northern part of the United States that he expresses his enjoyment by such an expression as 'I didn't even know I was colored until I looked in the glass'—meaning I suppose, that the thought of his be- EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES X Klan world.) the present-day Ku Klux Klan this is the pro- sis followed the has been going as, the Fellowship read between the naming" which the describing the it has suffered; "city" in a money- additional mem- rious agents is a may regard with that the Klan. as much comfort remains to it is as changing, there both the change live. white hoods, oaths grand titles like phone, plus asu- mst two or three a certain market such attractions the per cent of Wizard's oratory which are not the World Cour- issues was origi- but any issue wi of these three promptly claim course, is dry, the last red pen Jones, nominate Virginia, is wet, ard) on the wet wetness and his a tremendous vi- national finance, or Nevada, is w court but right of his attitude tow- Prohibition and the thing is a revealing.

Ku Klux Klan Quality and not quantity is the present-day slogan with the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan throughout the United States. This is the program in every State that has followed the purging and house cleaning that has been going on inside the organization. So speaks one of the Klan organs, the Fellowship Forum, and it is permissible to read between the lines. The "purging and house cleaning" which the Klan has received is one way of describing the wholesale defections from which it has suffered; the idea of "quality and not quantity" in a money-making organization where every additional member means more income for industrious agents is a bit of noble-mindedness which one may regard with some suspicion. It is more likely that the Klan, having lost its quantity, is finding as much comfort as it can in the notion that what remains to it is quality. As a matter of fact, the Klan is changing, there is in one sense a "new" Klan, and both the change and the reasons for it are instructive. Time was when mere mystery, white hoods, oath sworn in the night and a jumble of grand titles like Sir Kilgraf and Imperial Klaetiphone, plus assurances that it stood steadfast against two or three vague "perils," were enough to find a certain market for the Klan. Given time, however, such attractions pall, the day comes when midnight rallies, electric crosses, shivers in the night and perpetual forearmedness against something which never comes all lose their charm. The only way to hold an organization even part way together in these circumstances is to give it something positive to enthuse about. It is this process of transition which now engages the attention of the organizers of the Klan. never comes all hold an organization of circumstances to enthuse about. which now engages the Klan. implying to do is a local contraveises more zip to them which refuses to press of the Klan's "The Negro undoubtedly at and intimidation Europe can show of a mob that at him alive for hitization of the office in the Uni who nominally y exercise them for their fellow clit What these organizers are attempting to do is to hook the Klan into several political controversies which are going concerns, with more zip to them than "a great religious crisis" which refuses to materialize. If one studies the address of the Klan's EDITORIAL PAGE nation or to the race. The same corruption that distinguishes American politics in general is playing too great a part in the election of bishops. As a consequence, the church is losing ground in all new centers of Negro population in the North through the failure of bishops to assign to the churches and presiding elderships men who are able to cope with the problems that confront the church and the race. PARTICULARLY in New York City and Brooklyn the A. M. E. Church is playing little or no part in the social and economic progress. Other churches and denominations, by more readily adapting themselves to the needs and aspirations of the race, with less dissension and internal strife, with more inviting places of worship and with a greater spirit of service, are attracting the members of the A. M. E. Church. The study further revealed that tuberculosis mortality among the more than 2,000,000 Negro "industrial" policy holders in 1925 was approximately three times that for the whites. The company found that the death rate from this cause among its 7,000 Negro policy holders in Canada was only 138.8 per 100,000, as compared with 227.0 in the United States. THE GREAT A. M. E. CHURCH MA-CHINE, with its great possibilities for that kind of service that makes for progress along religious and all other lines, is rusting and in a bad state of repair. Greed, selfishness, politics, the arbitrary and autocratic power vested in its bishopric, are tearing its heart out and preventing it from playing the part hoped for it by those who sacrificed their lives and energies for it. The study also showed an inevitably high tuberculosis mortality in Colorado, due to the large invalid population coming there from other regions. In a study of 23,608 deaths from tuberculosis in Colorado during the period 1908-1920, it was shown that for every case "developed" within the State five cases were contracted outside. In showing the high death rate in Eastern Canada the Metropolitan statisticians found that Nova Scotia cities, with a rate of 150.5 per 100,000, registered higher tuberculosis mortality than that of any State or province, with the exception of Colorado. The cities of the Province of Quebec (121.8) had the third highest figure in both countries. MESSAGES from the Bible found attached to the legs of wild geese killed recently in the South are said to have thrown colored communities into religious turmoil. Should the geese ever light in Harlem, they would cause a riot. The cause would be a different one from that which threw our Southern brethren into hysterics, though the Bible would still play its part. There would be some scramble to read and identify the verses so as to play them on the numbers. "That the tuberculosis death rate among the Canadian urban wage earners exceeded that in the United States by 19 per cent is due entirely to the excessively high mortality in Nova Scotia, THE GEESE were from a farm in Canada.

IN HER SUIT for separation from her husband, a white Mamaroneck woman says her spouse "was continually drunk, associated with Negroes, spent his money recklessly and lavishly in the company of women of ill repute, and remained away from his family on a number of nights."

MUSIC Imperial Wizard before the recent "Third Biennial Convocation," one finds that its religious emphasis is shrunk from something like the 99 per cent of good old-fashioned Klan address to something like per cent or 30 per cent—and the rest of the Klan's oratory is spent chiefly upon three issues which are not religious but political; war debts, the World Court and Prohibition. None of these issues was originally part of the Klan's program, but any issue will do in a pinch—and when any one of these three arises in an election the Klan promptly claims credit, if it can. The Klan, of course, is dry, anti-court and for the collection of the last red penny of the war debts. And if Mr. Jones, nominated for the Senate in Kentucky or Virginia, is wet, pro-court but right (by Klan standards) on the war debts, then the Klan ignores his fitness and his approval of the court and proclaims tremendous victory for itself in the field of international finance. If Mr. Brown, nominated in Utah Nevada, is wrong on the debts, wrong on the court but right on Prohibition, then the Klan ignores attitude toward debts and court, concentrates on exhibition and bedecks itself with laurels. The thing is somewhat absurd, but none the less revealing. Human nature being what it is, andidity in the matter of nightshirts and flamingoses being soon arrived at, the Klan has lost the impetus of its first rush.

(From the Western Press, Bristol, England.) "The Negro question in the United States is undoubtedly at the root of much of the violence and intimidation that is practised there. We in Europe can show nothing to match the dementia of a mob that still tears a Negro to pieces or burns him alive for his crimes.

Writing on "Crime and the Alarmists" in the October number of Harper's, a monthly magazine, Clarence Darrow points out that the crime of Negroes is vastly exaggerated. "The colored population," declares Mr. Darrow, "is charged with a share in the commission of crime quite out of proportion to their number. This, too, should always be considered in connection with the fact that in the North they live in industrial centers and in restricted, crowded areas, and that colored people, owing to race prejudice and poverty, are much more apt to be accused and convicted than the whites." MARSHALL, Tex., Oct. 4.—It is conceded everywhere that the wet and dry question will figure very largely in the next presidential election.

LAST WEEK I told you among the Negroes a years gone by. I mentant thing in cancer treatment week I shall state what the Most people are afraid of or they refrain from consulting til it is quite late in the dev LAST WEEK I told you of the prevalence of cancer among the Negroes as a group, in comparison to years gone by. I mentioned the fact, that the important thing in cancer treatment is an early diagnosis. This week I shall state what the early signs of cancer are. Most people are afraid of cancer and because of the fear they refrain from consulting a physician or surgeon until it is quite late in the development of the disease. What we need is an educated public in matters of health; the consciousness of knowing that the deadliness of cancer is in the late discovery of its presence. What, then, are the early signs of cancer? This depends upon the place of the body which is being attacked by cancer cells. The most frequent places of cancer are the stomach and intestines, the rectum, the womb, the breast, the lips and the tongue. attempt for a permanent cure. In women the womb and the breasts are always a source of trouble. At the birth of a child the womb of the mother is frequently injured. In nursing her baby the breasts becomes a vulnerable spot. Because of these irritations, cancer frequently develops. Any woman who observes a lump in the breast, no matter The lips and tongue are prone to cancer because of frequent irritation and injury. Excessive smoking; decayed and ragged teeth; a burn of the tongue from too hot foods; all these may be the exciting cause of cancer of the lips or tongue. Anyone noticing a persistent raw spot with a feeling of discomfort on the tongue or lip should immediately consult a physician, for this may be the beginning of a cancerous growth. An early operation before the cancer cells circulate and spread through the lymph channels and blood vessels will cure cancer completely. Cancer of the stomach and intestines is a frequent condition. This is due to the abuse and injury which the stomach sustains. Too hot foods, too cold foods, too much food, irregular meals, badly cooked foods, strong liquor all these can injure the stomach and intestinal wall, resulting in gastritis and enteritis. If the injury continues, then ulcer of the stomach or intestines develops. This ulcer frequently changes into a cancer. The early and suspicious symptoms are persistent and frequent digestive disturbances. Pain, discomfort, loss of appetite, belching and burning in the pit of the chest or in the abdomen, with a steady loss in weight, are the symptoms that need a thorough examination. The X-Ray and a chemical analysis of the stomach and intestinal contents are the exact methods of detection of cancer of these organs.

I had a dream And ere my soul It passed beyond the A night it was — sweet. When moonbeams deteke With fairy flakes of light The flowers breathed a Unto the silent air. And Beauty slept while Amidst this scene I stood BEHOLD! I had a dream! A sweet, sad dream, And ere my soul could stay its flight It passed beyond the portals of immortal light. A night it was — sweet, mystic night— When moonbeams decked the dreamy boughs With fairy flakes of light. The flowers breathed a perfume rare Unto the silent air. And Beauty slept while angels lingered near. Amidst this scene I stood entranced, Listening to the thrill of rippling waters, Telling tales of bygone days When knights were bold and true And maidens fair would droop their heads To Cupid's fearless arrow. Then suddenly upon the horizon, Like one awakened from the dead, Arose the Sun. And night was changed into a perfect day— Earth filled with song and throbbed with life again. The flowers blushed beneath the sparkling rays, The sky grew pale, The sea was wrapped in softest blue And snowy wavelets dimpled on the shore. Then to my spirit spoke a voice Clear and serene. If this is Life and Life is Love Then give me life, that I may live and love. But as it came it passed away— Elusive, swift, infallible— And earth was clasped within the clutches of a black, impetuous night. The night wind moaned as though the gods Of nature were dead; The stars blinked faintly in the darkened space And gray clouds mocked me in fantastic haste; The sea roared as though some unknown demon Woke that kingdom from its depth. One would think the Beings of Creation Into oblivion had leapt. Through all these changing scenes I stood Unmoved! Again that voice spoke unto me: If thou must live — Begone! Cast thou thy lot among the warriors of this Earth. And let thy light be seen across the World. It was a dream — a sweet, sad dream. of the prevalence of cancer a group, in comparison tooned the fact, that the import is an early diagnosis. This the early signs of cancer are. cancer and because of the fear a physician or surgeon unlopment of the disease. attempt for a permanent cure. In women the womb and the breasts are always a source of trouble. At the birth of a child the womb of the mother is frequently injured. In nursing her baby the breasts becomes a vulnerable spot. Because of these irritations, cancer frequently develops. Any woman who observes a lump in the breast, no matter how small, should consult her physician. It may be cancer. In women any persistent bleeding, or blood-tinged watery discharge, should be looked upon with suspicion, and expert medical opinion sought as to its origin and its treatment. Cancer of the womb gives these early signs. The rectum is that part of the intestines that retains bulky waste material and undigested parts of food. There it stays until evacuated from the body. It is thus subject to constant irritations and inflammations, and these are always excitants of cancer. An increasing constipation passage of blood or mucus from the rectum, an over- offensive odor to the bowel evacuations are all signs that need expert opinion and treatment. A radical operation for cancer of the rectum gives a cure if the procedure is performed early before the cancer spreads. Cancer occurs in many other parts of the body such as the skin, nose and throat; but those I have dwelt upon are the most frequent. The conviction of medical science today is—that a reduction in deaths from cancer will follow the public education of the early symptoms and prompt treatment when so discovered.
