As a result of the beating, she says she received at the hands of the officer, Miss Mouzon was confined to her bed for three weeks. She now walks with the aid of a cane. The young woman testified that about 9 P.

She complied. At 127th street they turned toward Seventh avenue. When they reached the center of the block, she says, Officer Kilkelley grabbed her from behind and said, "I know you." He then accused her of having solicited on the street the Saturday night before. She denied this, saying that she had worked on that night until almost eleven, and that she went directly to her home. She said that the officer then walked away from her but soon returned and said he was going to arrest her. She replied that she wished to telephone her employer and mother first. She entered the restaurant and asked the clerk for change. At this point, she said, the officer grabbed her and dragged her from the restaurant. She asked to go into another store to telephone, but the officer pulled her out of that store, too. Miss Mouzon was in tears during most of her restimony.

Held for Murder Burrell Goes Free Indictment Against Him Quashed on Motion of Attorneys On Thursday an indictment charging murder in the first degree against Marion J. Burrell. 226 West 124th street, was quashed upon motion of Louis A. Lavelle and Harry Schulman, the latter white, attorneys for the defendant. Burrell was charged in the indictment found August 13, 1926, with stabbing to death one Antoine Corea, a native African, address unknown, at apartment of Willie Deas, a woman, 412 Lenox avenue, after an argument growing out of a crap game. It was claimed that Corea had first cut James Burrell. 152 West 124th street, brother of Marion, in the same argument. Upon investigation, it was discovered that Marion Burrell acted solely in self-defense. That he was first attacked by Corea when he attempted to act as a peacemaker in the argument. Corea knocked Marion down and chased him from one end of the apartment to another with a drawn knife, and when he finally cornered his man, the defendant miraculously slipped out of his coat in the effort to escape bodily harm. Finding himself cornered, he then fought his way out, using a knife in his defense. Corea was mortally wounded. While the defendant was in the Tombs, his wife gave birth to a child.

Nov. 15. — The mounting number of mob murders was swelled by three when on last Wednesday seven white men dressed as cowboys slew two men and a woman, all colored, in their home, without the slightest provocation, so far as is known. The bodies were found Thursday at an isolated spot near the county line, twenty-five miles from here. Surrounding the house under cover of darkness, the attackers shot their first victim, Scott Evans, 50, ranch foreman, when he responded to a call at the door. Wounded, he tried to run. One of the gangsters crushed his head with a heavy instrument. Robert Brown, who occupied the cabin with his wife and Evans, failed to heed demands that they leave their home to face probable death at the point of guns. Both he and his wife died in the flaming cabin, which was set afire from end to end. Authorities expressed the belief that the killings were meant as revenge for the slaying of Wallace Crowder, a white man, near here recently. The life of Frazier Holmes, age ATTY.

Sune de out six miles an imitation WH and a few days la have met here. I own, I motored o riding with the be Majesty, the Imperial Wizard, the white king of America, and to see the black king, or more correctly, the Provisional President of Africa, Marcus Garvey. Sunday last, taking the jim-crow car, I rode out six miles on Peachtree road and saw the former, an imitation White House, nestling in an oaken grove, and a few days later, piloted by two of the fine friends I have met here. Drs. C. Waymond Reeves and J. B. Brown, I motored over to the magnificent university-like building, with the beautiful sweep of lawn, that is the Federal Penitentiary, to see the latter. Garvey Wore Red Sweater Appearing at the barred gate under the great Doric columns we were politely ushered by the guard to a desk, where we gave our names, and after a short wait, and with much less formality than we had expected, were conducted through a heavy iron-barred door into a room where, after another short wait, we saw the stocky figure of the originator of the first world movement among Negroes enter, clad in what appeared to be the garb of any ordinary laborer hereabouts—trousers of bluish material, red sweater, and loose cap of thin dark material, nothing to indicate a prisoner in popular belief — but an unbelievable contrast to the figure in the glittering uniform, golden epaulets, plumed hat, sword and spurs on the prancing steed, which, as leader of the "400,000,000 Negroes of the World," led his followers through the streets of Harlem in 1921. Responding to our cordial greetings with equal warmth, he took a seat facing us with the guard nearby, and opened the conversation with a remark about my recent trip to Europe. My being refused permission to visit Africa seemed a sore point with him. "Why," said he, "if there is any place a Negro ought to be allowed to go, it is Africa." He went on to speak of the world-wide attempt being made to jim-crow Negroes, and tuoched on the laws recently passed barring colored people from Brazil, Mexico and Panama, declaring that Negroes, particularly those of the Western World, were getting just what they deserved for their lethargy. "Soon they won't be able to travel at all, and then, perhaps, they will wake up," he said. I went on to tell him how hundreds of persons in England and France, some of them prominent, had asked me about him; of how many Negroes in this country, some of them wealthy, who sympathized with him, and of the discussions of himself and of his movement that I knew were taking place in many of our colleges—at which he seemed quite pleased. There is much about Garveyism with which I, for one, radically disagree; as, for instance, his approval of the narrow radicalism of such insidious enemies of America and the Negro as Cox, Powell, and the Ku Klux Emperor, yet the simple truth remains that 20 PAGES FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE Complete in 3 Sections Dec. 21, 1909, at the Post Office Act of March 3, 1979. SECTION ONE VEY RISON HARLEM PHYSICIAN HURT IN SMASHUP OF TAXIS Dr. Phillip Brooks Was Returning From Urban League Costume Ball With Miss Lydia Holly, Haitian Beauty, Employed by League Shielding his companion from the shower of glass that fiew when the taxi in which he was riding was hit by another.

He is on the staff of the Urban League clinic. Official responsibility for the accident has not been placed, as no police action has yet been taken on the case.

Cor. 163d St. Jury in Special Sessions Finds William Jackson Not Guilty William Jackson, formerly of Galveston, Texas, was acquitted by a jury in General Sessions, Part 9, before Judge Allen on Monday after the jury had been out 20 minutes. Jackson was charged with burglary, larceny and criminally receiving stolen property. The complainant, Isidore Goldblatt, who ran a baby outfitting store at 103 W. 110th street, claimed that his store was burglarized on Oct. 16 and one baby carriage, valued at $70, was stolen. Jackson was arrested about mid-day, Oct. 17, on 115th street and Lenox avenue. The prosecution claimed that Jackson, after burglarizing the store, left the carriage alongside West 115th street and when he returned to remove his loot an officer took him into custody. Oscar Fanett, attorney for the defendant, upon cross-examination of the officer, found that Jackson was alleged to have had a pair of pilers, and that two friends of the officer were with him at the time of the arrest. The accompanying friends were not in court at the trial to corroborate the officer's statements, nor were the pilers produced in evidence. Attorney Fanett made capital of this in his summation to the jury. The jury found Jackson not guilty on all the counts in the indictment.

Perkins was attended by Dr. McKeown and removed to the hospital, where his condition is said to be serious. Detectives Nelson and McArdle were passing in the vicinity at the time of the attack upon Perkins.

Past Record of Prisoner Changes Five-Year Sentence to One for Life and Assails Baumes Law In imposing a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment on a fourth offender Judge Cornelius F. Collins in General Sessions Wednesday launched an attack on the Baumes law, which leaves no discretion in the hands of the courts. The defendant, William Green, 27, 101 West, 133rd street, had been sent back to Judge Collins by the warden of Sing Sing, who had discovered that the sentence of five years imprisonment imposed three months ago on a charge of second degree assault should have been a life sentence because of Green's previous record. "I sincerely trust," Judge Collins told him, "that some time in the future a more humane form of government will prevail, that some Governor will have this matter presented to him and will commute your sentence to the original sentence which I imposed and which I believe to be fully adequate for your offense." African Convicted Here of Robbery Native Brought Here by President Roosevelt Several Years Ago Alfred De Silva, 221 W. 139th Green pleaded guilty in 1919 to burglary in the third degree and served sixty days in the Tombs. He received a similar sentence the following year for petit larceny; in 1921 obtained a suspended sentence for vagrancy; in the same year went to Elmira on a charge of assault, and in 1924 was sentenced to two years in Sing Sing for attempted burglary in the third degree. He was released in February and obtained work at Pier 42, North River. One night in August he was involved in a dispute over a bottle of liquor with Israel Jones, white, 13 St. Nicholas terrace in a speakeasy in the heart of the Black Belt of Harlem. Jones went to the hospital for ten days with unfit wounds. Green claimed he inflicted in self-defense. Green was convicted of the assault. Judge Collins Wednesday described the mandatory sentence for life "an unconscionable thing from the standpoint of sociology." "There is no doubt," he said, "that the Baumes committee was actuated by the best intentions, but made a law arbitrary and inflexible. It leaves no discretion, substituting the author of the bill for the arbiter of justice and its administration throughout the State." "Such laws," he declared, "are suggestive of clamor and mob psychology in the enactment of statutes." Sullivan Violator Sentenced.

ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourness and Pain. How to Treat. Medical authorities state that nearly nineteenth of the cases of stomach gas, bloating, nausea, gas, bloating, nausea, etc. are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, and not, as some believe, to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is the source of food and sour gases, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestants are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead use a teaspoon of Bicarbonate of Magnesium and take a teapoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and the so-called gastric acid, by making Bicarbonate Magnesium (in powder or tablet form—never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive to take and is the most efficient form of magnesium for stomach purpose who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion. of Her Hair smooth.

Marlow, of Broken Bow, Okla., "I tried numerous remedies to try at least to keep going, but I could not. I was weak and tired—just no good at all. My back ached and I had hot flashes until I was so very nervous I smothered. "I couldn't sleep and I was never hungry, and I kept getting weaker, I couldn't stand on my feet. This was an unusual condition for me as I had been pretty strong all along. I knew that I would have to do something, and that pretty soon. "Some friend suggested that I take Cardui, and it certainly was a good suggestion, for after taking one bottle I could tell I was stronger and better. I didn't quit. I kept it up and did fine. I felt like a different person after I began taking Cardui." Cardui has helped thousands of suffering women. Sold by all druggists. League's Auxiliary Gives Costume Ball Prizes Won by Mrs. A. C.

"Bobbed Hair a Sin," Clergyman Says ASSEN, Holland, Nov. 12.—Is it sintul for a fundamentalist hair-dresser to bob or shingle hair? This question recently was placed before the Rev. Dr. K. Ferthout, president of the Dutch Reformed Church Synod, which some time ago expelled the Rev. Dr. J. G. Geokerken, of Amsterdam, for casting doubt upon the story of Adam and Eve and the serpent in the Garden of Eden. The applicant for spiritual advice said he felt burdened in mind as to how, as a true believer, he could cut off a woman's hair in the light of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. Chapter II, verse 15, to the effect that a woman's hair is her glory. The Rev. Dr. Fernhout in a religious journal has replied to the extent of five columns. He leaves no one in doubt as to his conviction that woman is man's inferior. If a woman cuts of her hair to assert her independence, or merely to follow a silly fashion, she undoubtedly commits a sinful action, says the fundamentalist pastor. He further asserts that long hair is symbolical of the divinely preordained subjection of woman to man. Certain exceptions, however, are allowed and it is suggested that Christian women who want to be bobbed or shingled shall apply for a permit to their pastor or chief elder, who will certify whether the reasons for the proposed step are theologically admissible or not.

Girl Gained 7 Pounds Nine Years An Invalid That's just what McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets did for the Babcock girl—and is doing as much for tens of thousands of thin, underweight, weak and discouraged people all over. These sugar coated, pleasant to take, tablets should be given to children instead of the vile stomach upsetting oil itself—they surely do the fruit, the cream, the milk and 60 to 60 cents on any drunken. Read this letter if you have a child that needs to gain health and strength. "My little girl was stricken with infantile paralysis, when she was taken to the hospital years—when I saw an in the paper that McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets would build up wasted tissue slowly at first and after taking eight boxes she gained five pounds. Thanks to McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound, everything else on the market, she is on the road to recovery and goes to school every day." Mrs. L. Babock, Appleton, the offices of McCoy's may be offered, but be sure and ask for McCoy's original and genuine, and if after thirty treatment you are not satisfied, results—why get your money back. ery Makes Lighter, Softer Washington Beauty Who Gained Refusing Old Methods Washington Belle Skin Victory you can quickly gain a light skin, free from pimples, muddiness, shine and olliness.

Department A-372, Atlanta, Ga. CITY OF NEW YORK For Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is essentially all an all home day. Timely decorations in the home add greatly to the value of the day. Turn your time honored pumpkin into a Puritan vessel and use it as a centerpiece. To do this, choose a pumpkin of a shape that suggests the hull of a medieval vessel, and hollow out the top. Insert a tall gilded stick at what now becomes the bow, and sew or paste to this a pretty white sail, preferably a scrap of white silk, but not necessarily so. On the tail, attach lettering the words—"The Mayflower Thanksgiving"—or any other thing appropriate for the occasion. Line the Mayflower with gilt or green paper, and fill with a cargo of fruits of the earth (crystallized). These can be made at home at half the price they cost in shops. Elevate the vessel on a small box or tin, and surround with a bed of green leaves or with shaved green tissue paper so as to hide completely the base it rests on. Fashion Hints Into the season's picture of glittering frocks, of brilliant wrape, goes the little matinee or dance hat of gleaming gold or silver metal cloth. Metal cloth—artistically draped as to crown, smartly turned as to brim—a hat with a distinct individuality of its own. When the evening wrap is slipped off the evening shawl is donned—this is the fashion rule wherever smart society gathers. The Italian hand-embroidered evening shawl is of heavy, lustrous silk crepe, with wide hand-knotted fringe. Every exquisite evening tint in an Italian shawl is fashionable. Suggestions Stewed Figs. Cover the fruit with cold water and soak over night. Cook slowly until tender in water in which they were soaked. If sugar is desired, add just before the cooking is complete. To each pound of fruit the juice of a lemon and two tablespoons of sugar may be added, if desired. I Can't Enjoy Anything A Woman's Appeal for Happiness miety knows only to women.

According to the United States Daily, a minimum wage regulation has been passed. Women and girls in the jewelry and related lines are to receive a minimum wage of $14.40 a week for ordinary ability. A woman of at least twenty years of age who has had six months' experience in the occupation is considered of "ordinary ability." Experienced workers are given still higher consideration. The minimum rate for them is $15 a week. By an experienced worker is meant one who has been employed in the industry eighteen months or more. The very interesting feature of the regulation is that the employers are to keep registers, giving the names and addresses, working hours, and actual earnings of all female employees, the same to be open to inspection by any member or representative of the board. This step on the part of Massachusetts may mean, in time, that forty-eight states will have a minimum wage regulation for women—T. E. B.

Sera Washington If women bobbed their hair and then gave it only the grooming that a careful man gives his, the benefits of short hair would be sufficient to overcome its disadvantages. There is no doubt that bobbed hair is cleaner than long hair, because there is less of it and because it is more easily washed. For these reasons it should be better groomed, combed, and brushed; but sometimes it is not. Because its care is relatively easy, the hair is likely to be neglected. Bobbed hair is only in its beginning and we must safeguard against the unavoidable misfortune of becoming bald-headed. Bobbed hair brought a fashion of wearing small, tight-fitting, unventilated felt hats, which are as harmful to the circulation in women's heads as are tight-fitting derbies to man's scalps. Especially so when women's hair has been cut and no longer provides a natural pad or pillow, such hats press on the blood vessels and cut off the blood supply. Because of these facts, and because of the law of nature that any S HAIR BEAUTIFUL W APEX PRODUCT APEX LUSTORIA HAIR OIL A SUPERIOR DRESSING THAT GIVES ULTRA TO THE HAIR, MAKING IT LIVE AND GLOSS USED BY MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN INCLUDED FOR BOOTED RAIN DIRECTIONS: APEX PREPLEY TO THE HAIR AND BRUSH THIS HAIR APEX HAIR CO. 1726 ASTIC AVENUE ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.

P FIVE tissue mistreated is in time killed within the course of the next decade while looking at a theatre audience it will be hard to distinguish which sex is the possessor of the larger number of bald heads. We bob-haired women are compelled to take better care of our scalps than ever before. Massage of the scalp is one of the best preventives of baldness and should be performed twice daily. You should apply a good pomade and with the fingers rub and knead the scalp from front to back and then from side to side, pinching and pulling the scalp from the underlying ties. Such massage greatly improves the circulation and hence the nourishment of scalp and hair it permits a growth of a better pat of fat under the scalp and relieves the constricted blood vessels. Mme.

Mark Twain once wrote to a hotel manager complaining about a roller-towel he had been obliged to use in the hotel washroom. "You are the fiftieth man who has used that towel," wrote back the manager in reply, "and you are the first one who has kicked about it." One out of fifty to make a complaint: Probably the forty-nine others belonged to the type of person who accepts things as they are because it is too much bother to do otherwise. That is the way many of us go blithely through life, accepting health as a matter of course until some serious sickness suddenly attacks us seemingly out of the sky. We live from day to day in the pleasant beach that we are perfectly efficient. We are the forty-nine who take no responsibility about having a sanitary towel because we personally have not been harmed by the dirty one. Yer. do we know definitely that we have not been harmed?

"Oh, well," we say, "that's only natural—we can't baby ourselves and make a fuss over a little pain." That's fair logic, but not fair enough. A visit to a doctor for a thorough overhauling of our bodies would help us out. That tired feeling may be the beginning of something serious, a pain may indicate the earliest stage of an organic trouble. On the other hand, pains may be warnings of, merely slight weaknesses, and when taken in time can be speedily cured. And anyway what a "grand and glorious feeling" it would be to know that there is nothing the matter. Nowadays we do not go to the doctor only when we are really sick. The prevention idea is so important a foundation of modern health teaching that our bodies are regarded like automobiles, locomotives and other mechanical machines that need overhauling periodically to keep them in A-1 running condition.

ROGERS WRITES OF TALK WITH GARVEY there is considerable sympathy for him, sometimes, as I have found, in quite unexpected places.

Of his original program he has evidently yielded not one step. "When I get out of here." he said, with all that old fire that had held his great audiences spellbound in Madison Square Garden, "I mean to do a thousand times more." This was in direct answer to a question about his steamship program. These activities, however, will take place on British territory, unless Uncle Sam relics, as, according to Garvey himself, his deportation is settled.

This, of course, is as near as I can recall his words, as I was stopped by the guard when I took out paper and began to write. Number 19359—the Harlem fans might try that—feels that he has not been fairly treated by that part of the Negro people who opposed his movement. Such, he declared, had never looked into his program, but had based their objections on rumor, or on what his enemies had said. As to the latter, he charged that they had first called him a "nobody." then later a "West Indian," and when he still continued to gain a following. "a crook." As to the two volumes of his "Philosophy and Opinions," he said that the Negro press had been silent about it, while his wife had a scrapbook filled with clippings from the white press here and in Europe. The. N. A. A. C. P. When I asked him what he thought of C.P., he said that he thought it was an highly necessary movement, but that the lew wrong, declaring that the present leaders were interested in succeeding themselves in office only those cases that would bring them greaterity. "The N.A.A.C.P." he said, "encourages move into white neighborhoods, and to do so got the Sweets into trouble, then turns around on them." For this remark I felt that the presidential segregation in Washington, D.C., where would give him plenty of publicity. As to the $5,000 given to Dr. W. E. B. Du study of Negro education—is it in the South Carolina?—and which appeared in the Sept. he wanted to know why that sum should have necessary, since Du Bois had lived in the Southern with conditions there. He was pleased the articles appearing in the PITTSBURGH "Vann (Robert)." he said, "has dragged to which I had long felt to be true." Liberia Of Liberia, he said President King had once gladly accepting him at first, but ousting him game. As to the Firestone Company, he would have been better had Liberia only learnt as things now were it should try to get a company under governmental control. Regarding the rumor of his not being perurn to Jamaica, British West Indies, he said had been similar talk in 1921, but he had no places it was said he could not go and had America without any trouble. It was at the complained of the "baseless rumors perplex about him." one of which was that President had offered him a pardon if he would leave When I asked him what he thought of the N.A.A. C.P., he said that he thought it was an excellent and highly necessary movement, but that the leadership was wrong, declaring that the present leaders were only interested in succeeding themselves in office and pushing only those cases that would bring them plenty of notoriety. "The N.A.A. C.P." he said, "encourages Negroes to move into white neighborhoods, and to do such things as got the Sweets into trouble, then turns around and cashes in on them." For this remark I felt that the advocates of residential segregation in Washington, D. C., and elsewhere would give him plenty of publicity. As to the $5,000 given to Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois for the study of Negro education—is it in the South or South Carolina?—and which appeared in the September Crisis, he wanted to know why that sum should have been necessary, since Du Bois had lived in the South and was familiar with conditions there. He was plainly elated at the articles appearing in the PITTSBURGH COURIER. "Vann (Robert)." he said, "has dragged to light facts which I had long felt to be true." Liberia Of Liberia, he said President King had deceived him; gladly accepting him at first, but ousting him for bigger game. As to the Firestone Company, he said that it would have been better had Liberia only leased the land, but as things now were it should try to get the tire company under governmental control. Regarding the rumor of his not being permitted to return to Jamaica. British West Indies, he said that there had been similar talk in 1921, but he had visited all the places it was said he could not go and had returned to America without any trouble. It was at this point he complained of the "baseless rumors perpetually floated about him." one of which was that President Coolidge had offered him a pardon if he would leave the country. His Domestic Affairs As to his first wife, he said she was motive motoriety," and that he had been legally divorced prior to his second marriage. When I suggested that he would have fared he got a lawyer, he insisted that here for one that the man who is his own lawyer has a client was wrong. If he had had a lawyer, if that he would have got "sixty years." as the son inside that an onlooker would never stood. At the end of an hour the guard warned time was up, and No. 19359 returned to what home for another two years at least, while he passed again through the iron gates to a magnificent lawn and the wooded expanse in and gold of an Indian summer. I, for one, the thought that the once humble West In that had just disappeared behind the clangier started something that, liked or hated, is direct the future of humanity in no mean way. AND THE NUMBER IS As to his first wife, he said she was motivated by "pure notoriety," and that he had been legally divorced from her prior to his second marriage. When I suggested that he would have fared better had he got a lawyer, he insisted that here for once the maxim that the man who is his own lawyer has a fool for his client was wrong. If he had had a lawyer, it is his belief that he would have got "sixty years," as there was much on the inside that an onlooker would never have understood. At the end of an hour the guard warned us that our time was up, and No. 19359 returned to what will be his home for another two years at least, while the three of us passed again through the iron gates to see again the magnificent lawn and the wooded expanse in all the glory and gold of an Indian summer. I, for one, absorbed in the thought that the once humble West Indian peasant that had just disappeared behind the clanging gates had started something that, liked or hated, is destined to affect the future of humanity in no mean way.

BE AT HOME WITH YOUR FRIENDS OF THE PROFESSION CHICKEN NEWS OF BROOKLYN AND LONG ISLAND Long Island Whirlwinds to Meet Superiors Here This Thursday Night Long Island Whirlwinds to Meet Superiors Here This Thursday Night Fast-Going Brooklynites Again Extract Sting of Famous Mosquitoes When They Ran Roughshod Over J. Richard Lee's Tuxedos Thursday evening at Arcadia Hall the Superior "Lightning Five" administered a thorough drubbing to the Tuxedo "Big Five" of East Orange, N. J. The Boroughites exhibited a brilliant passing game and punctuated this with accurate shooting. The final score: 33-16. The game, though one-sided, was interesting through the bewildering pass work, which the Jersey boys could not solve, and the fine defensive barrier presented by the "Gravediggers." The Tuxedo could only break through for one field goal and two fouls in the initial stanza. EIGHT The Superiors took the lead when after some preliminary passing Center Thompson arched the ball from midcourt for a double. Stevens followed with a two-pointer from the side. Herndon also caged the leather after cutting rapidly for the basket. At this point the Jersey boys scored their first point with a penalty shot by Murphy. However, the "Soup trio," Stevens, Herndon and Thompson, were making a sleeve of the Tuxedo defense, repeatedly breaking through or notting the leather from within the center and fifteen-foot zone. After ten minutes of play it was soon apparent that this would be a Brooklyn evening. While "Steve" and "Sandy" were piling up points, Niles and Rainey were keeping the Oranxeites from the scoring. The Jersey forwards were held almost scored, though through the entire game, as for one foul each, while the oily field goal made in the first half was a difficult shot from right center by H. Raymond, the "Tux" guard. The half ended Brooklyn 22, E. Orange 4. Holmes replaced Rainey in the second half. The - diminutive "Soup" guard took care of S. Raymond, who he held to one foul, while taking three points unto himself. It was in this canto that the Jersey center, none other than our old friend Lee, of the Vandals, made himself felt for the Tuxedos. Lee accumulated three field and two fouls and threatened to overcome the Superior lead single handed. Capt. Herndon, however, with the score 25-16, called time the当 when play was resumed the defense stiffened while Lee, "Sandy" and his running "Steve" added eight points to their lead. Much interest is centered in this Thursday's game (Nov. 18). The "Lightning Five" will meet the first white team on the Arcadia court. The strong Long Island Whirlwinds, with Eddie Plate, formerly of the Long Island Professionals, will attempt to stop the home team. Special music by Bill Brown's orchestra of ten pieces. Parker.

On May 28 last Sylvester and Myers got into a heated argument after Sylvester had dispossessed the family of Myers from the house at 227 Bergen street. The evidence showed that Sylvester started the attack with club, which the alleged to be threatened to strike the mother Myers. Myers stabbed Sylvester in the abdomen, inflicting a wound from which Sylvester died three days later. Myers had been on trial for four days before the judge and jury, and his attorney put up a hard fight for him, but when it became evident that the district attorney had made his case Myers gave up the fight and pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the second degree. In accepting the plea from Myers Assistant District Attorney Francis Z. Geoghan said: "The evidence brought out here has shown that this crime did not amount to murder in the technical sense of the form. There was not the slightest hint in any part of the evidence that this defendant had intended to make a deadly attack upon the deceased. The killing was the tragic and sudden culmination of an argument. This argument was a reasonable one, coming after this defendant, his mother and sister had been, as he home into the street.

Roland Hayes at B'klyn Academy of Music Roland Hayes, the famous tenor, sang before an enthusiastic audience on Tuesday evening. Nov. 9 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. His program, divided into four parts, included Eighteenth Century songs, German lyrics, English songs and Negro spirituals. He was generous with his encounters and was given access with his encounters and the program returned several times to sing spirituals requested by members of the audience. The German group, composed of Schubert, Brahms and Hugo Wolf, was not so well received as that which included "Akula Alone," by Rachmaninoff; "By a Lonely Forest Pathway" and "The Lament of Ian the Proud," by Griffes, and "Dream Valley" by Quilter. Spirituals, however, seemed to please the audience greatly. Mr Hayes sang "Made My Vow," "David," "Wade" in de Water, "Camp Meeting," "Steal Away" and the "Crucifixion" William Lawrence was his accompanist.

It I device in the future, a financial support of the talks whie age and enthusiast That organization and the coalition of the Negro's resources can bring about infinite good toward his political and economic well-being was explained by the speakers on the program of the Urban League's mass meeting Sunday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, in the Salem Baptist Church. Organized sixteen years ago by members of both races for the solving of problems common to all mankind, the Urban League has been a tremendous force in the removing of racial friction and economic handicaps. It has the possibilities of doing inestimable service in the future, and is therefore deserving of the moral and financial support of the race. This was the theme behind each of the talks which received responsive applause from the large and enthusiastic audience. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, was the first to speak. The South, she said, is greatly in need of the Urban League. In some parts, notably Tampa, Florida, it has been instrumental in the forming of a better understanding between the races.

He would have the Negro think more about the conditions he finds himself in today. Students abroad, he says, ask: What do we think about the American race situation; what are we doing to remedy it? "More and more organization is becoming a dominating factor," declared the talker in impressing the need of supporting the league. "Public opinion and publicity will also play an important part. The Negro must take the lead in seeing that the constructive sort of public opinion is formed if he would safeguard his rights," he added. Walter Drey, editor of Forbe's Magazine, in a particularly frank discussion, told how hard it was for those like himself who were trying to be fair to be so. "There is no Negro problem. As I look over this audience I see no Negro race, but colored people," he ventured to say, in illustrating the common bond that lies between all humanity. His vast experiences in the economic sphere of the Negro race afforded him ample subject matter to prove that the lack of justice toward it was a result of a lack of organization. The work of Major Robert R. Motor and Mrs. Bethune were lauded by Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, the next speaker, as being the kind needed for the removal of human problems. The problems of mankind are the problems of men, Dr. Bowen added, in praising the mission of the Urban League.

Best Amusement Pages in Greater New York WHITNEY BENEFIT AT LAFAYETTE A SUCCESS Hudgins Captures London With His Silence Edited by Romeo L.

Six weeks ago Mrs. Mildred Hudgins, wife of the popular comedian, left here on the S. S. Homeric to join her husband and ever since her arrival in London the couple have been the recipients of marked Making Good F. The European Papers Continue to Speak in Glowing Terms of the Fine Work to Johnny Hudgins. attention at the hands of their friends who have been staging endless parties in their behalf. The British papers also continue to remind the London public of the rare treat in store for them by making a trip to the Pavilion to see Hudgins. We reproduce below a few clippings which will be welcome information to the many friends of Johnny on this side. Says "The Stage": "In 'Blackbirds' we have a most humorous and silent comedian known as Johnny Hudgins, who skilfully contrives to move and pose with grace whilst giving eccentric dances." From the London Times we glean the following: "The appearance of Mr. Johnny Hudgins in 'Blackbirds' with 'silence' and 'more silence' were welcome little onsis in the wilderness of sound. His singing of an inaudible song and his dance with an invisible partner were distinguished by clever studies in facial expressions that triumphed over a Christy Minatrel make-up." The Yorkshire Post also had some good things to say of the colored American, in one part telling us that "of individual performers, Mr. Hudgins as a pantonist and dancer made the hit of the evening in Blackbirds, though he never said a word during any of his turns. He is a completely equipped pantonist with a humor all his own." The writer on the London Observer, after witnessing the performance as given by "Blackbirds," said: "The leading man, Mr. Johnny Hudgins, is an admirably droll mimic and dancer. This is one of the high water marks of the entertainment." Which shows that Hudgins has really captured London with his silence. TO JACK DEMPSEY. Sorry, Jack, we had to devote quite some space to answer the Schiffman letter in this issue and your letter and other matter had to be held until next week. Will comment on your epistle when we come to it as it was our intention to recall the early days of the dramatic playlets at the Lincoln. You are right. Mrs. Downs laid the foundation for the drama here and it was grabbed by the other house. Snyder will also tell you that the present form of entertainment at the Seventh Avenue held sway at the Lincoln, and that too was grabbed. Oh boy, things were bright long before others came here to usurp what we were doing, eh? Give Billie Burke our best regards and tell him we can never forget what he did for us in the theatrical world. Mrs. Downs-Contributes to Benefit for Whitney Owner of New Lincoln Theatre Asked No Questions, but Immediately Sent Her Check to the News One evening last week when we put through a request for a contribution to the benefit fund for S. Tutt Whitney through Mrs. Maria C. Downs' congenial secretary, Mrs. Regan, there wasn't the slightest doubt in our minds that a substantial amount would be forthcoming from that splendid lady who has owned and operated the old and New Lincoln Theatres ever since they were built. Without the ringing of bells, beating of drums and blowing of trumpets, Mrs. Downs has made her contribution to worthy charities in behalf of our people and the individuals who have also been substantially remembered by this charming lady are too numerous to mention. In all the years we have had the pleasure of knowing the owner of the popular little theatre on West 135th street, not once has she given to any cause with an idea of playing into the good graces of our people for the patronage it would bring to her house. Her gifts are turned over with joy radiating from her eyes and a gesture which proves that it has made her happy to be in a position to do good whenever the opportunity presents itself. Readers need not wonder at the enthusiasm with which we record her comings and goings and ours are no empty puffs written with a desire to get into her good graces. For fifteen or more years she has gladly advertised in the publications with which this writer has been connected and that with an eye to helping to make strong institutions which she believes are necessary. "Shuffle Along" at the Lafayette Theatre Commencing Monday After a long absence from this section of the town, Frank Montgomery pulled in on Monday afternoon with a black and white combination under the title of from "Broadway to Seventh Avenue." The ability of Frank to please was again attested when a bummer house sat in at the matinee performance which presaged another big week. During the reign of Shapiro at the Lafayette Montgomery put over one of his best offerings in conjunction with J. Rosamond Johnson, but ushers and everybody in front of the house became mixed up and when prospective auditors arrived in the house with pasteboards calling for seats, they found said seats occupied by a runway which was a part of the show and which everybody seemed to have forgotten when they started to sell the tickets. It was a hard blow to Frank; but he came up smiling and Broadway has kept him busy for years. At the present time he is calling for more chorus girls and those desirous of getting a lasting job would do well to see Frank at his office downtown. For the coming week Miller and Lyles "Shuffle along" will again be the offering at the Lafayette. The worth of the original production can readily be seen by the fact that the popular comedians have kept some version of the original on the road ever since the big show closed.

Tutt Whitney, who has been laid up for more than two months after a painful operation, which has left him weak and almost spent, after many years of entertaining thousands from, behind the footlights. But it was a splendid gathering that applauded the efforts of the fine bill headed by Messrs. Miller and Lyles, who can always be found leading any move in the theatrical world when it has for its object doing good for an individual or a cause. The popular comedians put on a new act which was a riot and which also served as an incentive to the audience to force Flournoy and Aubrey to return and do the act which made such a hit at the Alhambra Theater the night of the benefet for the late George Walker's mother. Leigh Whipper and Ernest Whitman acted as masters extraordinary of ceremonies, with Whitman putting over his numbers and getting a big hand. Telegrams were read from Al Jolson, George Cohan, Bill Robinson and a few others, all regretting their inability to be present. Sam Tolson and Leigh Whipper were about the happiest individuals in the house when they realized that Whitney would get no less than five hundred dollars from the efforts put forth by them in behalf of the Troopers' Club. The following letter from Mr. Whitney, who had hoped to be able to be present but was prevented by a high fever, was read by Mr. Whipper and elicited warm applause from the audience: This manifestation of loyalty, friendship and love almost overwhelms me. I have done to merit this magnificent test-month. All I know is that I have always made an effort to be loyal to my family, to the profession to which I have given the best years of my life, and I have been loyal to my ideals even when I have been weak, always trying to maintain a high standard of cleanliness and excellence. When prosperity relapses, as individual life may sometimes be guilty of selfishness, I am always an individual is in need or a calamity course there does not exist a more willing, unselfish and generous group than the greatest unchartered theatrical fraternity. For many years my brother, Homer, and I have made the name of Whitney and Tutt's Smarter Set Company a keyword. It is difficult to find a first NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, NOV.17, 1926 class performer who has not at some time been associated with the Smarter Set. Again and again financial success, hard work, right, o expect, has evaded us by a hal's breadth; as, for instance, this season, when my illness caused us to lose our entire investment for a new car, I have not been discouraged. But we are not discouraged. We believe that if we still merit it success will come, as it came to Frank Bacon. Late, but better than never. We believe that the footlights again—to feel that I have inspired this demonstration of friendship and love is to have achieved the highest success one can attain; for, after greatest thing in the world is: LOVE! My dear, dear friends, from the depths of my head. I THANK YOU! May God reward you and keep me worthy of your love and confidence. SALEM T. WHITNEY. After the Clarence Williams Trio had put on its act and taken a splendid hand, Chilton and Thomas came on and stopped the show. This is a new dancing act-which appeared for the first time in Harlem and we look to see others pulling the slow movies stunt within the near future. The entire bill was as follows: Niles, Burnham and Walker, Dike Thomas, Teddy Peters, Clarence Williams Trio, Chilton and Thomas, Henri l and LaPearl with James P. Johnson at the piano. Wheaton and Walker with Louis Simmons, Miller and Lyles, Evelyn Preer and Eddie Thompson, Ernest Whitman, Little Baby Grand, Smith and Crawley, Alexander Dirksen, Pugh and Saparo. Bob Allen, Connie's Inn Revue and Morris Hunter, the model. During the course of the evening one of the Immermans took advantage of the opportunity to try to excuse the presence of the Inn in Harlem, but there were many present who felt that this was out of the picture. *The newspapers of Harlem as a whole refuse to rave over the Connie's Inn offering and that that. Evelyn Preer and her husband went to the high spots in one of the most delightful little dramatic offerings, something entirely absent during the regime of the Brecher interests, and it went over big. Say, Evelyn put over a song in a manner that gave her an opportunity of proving that she has her place in anything they are willing to cast her for on the stage. She's great, that charming woman. The gross sale of tickets for the benefit netted eight hundred and thirteen dollars, with an expense entailed of three hundred and thirteen dollars, leaving five hundred dollars to be turned over to Mr. Whitney. With a check of fifty dollars from Mr. Henry Chesterfield of the National Vaudeville Association and one sent to Mr. Whitney through the Amsterdam News from Mrs. Downs, owner of the Lincoln Theater, for twenty-five dollars, the full sum placed into the hands of the comedian amounted to $575.00. In all benefits, we understand, there are people to whom payment must be made, and for the benefit of our readers, as in the case of the Walker benefit, we are reproducing the total expenditures in detail: tion of the statement handed this paper by Mr. Leigh Whipper. The Amsterdam News is not included on the free list of tickets, as Mr. William H. Davis purchased four for members of his staff.

We do not think that this request is out of line, as we notice that Connie's inn had representation when a speaker was allowed to ascend the rostrum at the benefit staged for S. Tutt Whitney in an attempt to refute certain charges which were not made by any member of the audience which had turned out to do its bit for Mr. Whitney. I what we had to say warrants such a lengthy epithet from Mr. Schiffman, then we think the reply of a talented Negro who has worked hard for the settlement of Negroes in this community should be given the space it occupies: November 11, 1926 Mr. Romeo Dougherty. Dear Mr. Douglass, The last name of your paper referring to the activities of the Lafayette Theatre and of my humble self prompt me to write this letter. While I was surprised to see the remark I made to you concerning apparent failure of my efforts to share the interest of the theatre and frankly that this is one of the keenest disappointments that I have had during the five years of my labors in Harlem. As for the results of these labors, I need only to refer to papers of your paper—and nobody can ever accuse me of doing anything wrong. The interests that employ me. I think that it is generally recognized that we brought about a substantial improvement in the entire tone of the theatrical entertainment which this community enjoys. We took over the theatre. Douglass conducted them in as cleanly and as attractive and as entertaining a way as their very structures permitted. We trained considerate and courteousployees. And, what is more important we succeeded in bringing Harlem their downwaters (broadway) presentation. That we displaced many people, there is no doubt. We even aroused your harsh wail by withdrawing the "ads" from the colored papers which we sell with pleasure when we decided to do some advertising by way of personal announcements we engaged you to do the work, and that you publicly expressed yourself as satisfied the theatre with an adequate and gratifying answer to our labors and to these accomplishments. Frankly, I do not know much of the Laffayette Theatre. I do not know any sources, and I did not learn from fairly reliable sources, that the features of Mr. Lester Wafson and Mr. Robert Lewere financial failures. Some have even said that they were the reason for the acquisition of the theatre that we observed the Laffayette prior to our acquisition of the theatre we could receive absolutely no encouragement for the dramatic policy. I recalled that we were divided by some twenty or twenty-two persons, and while I admit that this is no indication of the possibilities of a dramatic stock company, it certainly does not give the lottery a chance to believe your version of the occurrences at the Laffayette years prior to our entry into its infall, and to regret, with you, the passing of its dramatic presentations. While I consulted you as to the policy of the theatre, at the same time I sought out and spoke to several people who could advise us along these lines. I corresponded with you, and I found that while the dramatic stock company could undoubtedly be successful, there was a greater demand for the type of performance that we subsequently franquished at the Laffayette, and that we could find a happier and more profitable reception in a different type of theatre. Some day I may tell you of the sickening losses that we sustained at the Laffayette, and of the management-losses which would have bankrupted many people. But that is now ancient history. I recall an article which appeared in your paper during the first week of our year, which described the changed appearance of the house—the new carpets, the attractive murals, the modern electrical equipment, the new stage, the installation of our mammoth pipe organ, etc. You predicted them that if the theatre COULD be made Your estimate of the character of our audiences is most erroneous. Our type of show can compare favorably with serious and intelligent as any found anywhere in this city. It may be a surprise to you to know that those whom the community regards as serious and intelligent an institution at the city may be the thousands of regular theatruevers. There is one other aspect to the Laffayette success which few people girls, shabby productions and of strengure, poverty-striken producers are rapidly passing. For the Laffayette, because of the splendid support given to financial benefits of this support to the actors and producers, has raised the entire tone of colored theatrical productions and has made it possible for financial benefits of this support to entertain and make people happy to earn more money than they ever did before. This benefit has been far-reaching. Theatrical managers have been able to produce better plays, and to secure better prices for their productions. I join with you most sincerely in the desire for a theatre where the more serious efforts of the stage can be presented. I know of the attentive little theatre in Harlem for the presentation of dramatic plays. The cost of even a little theatre is tremendous. The modern since, with its costly erosion, spinneraker construction, and the need for a large audience, presents a presentation demand that dressing rooms be in a fireproof building detached from the theatre proper, and the authorities are today demanding a steel instead of an asbestos curtain. In the case of the theatre in Harlem, the presentation involved. If but a demand for such a theatre really exists, I am certain that all obstruction can be overcome. I shall be very glad to accept any suggestions and the demand of the Lafayette Theatre to revert whether or not such a demand exists. I want to close this rather lengthy letter with some reference so the difficulty with the motion picture operators, to which you insist upon giving so much space your papers, is that you remember that both of them took the stump in an effort to uproot the community against the Lafayette Theatre. I think it highly significant that both of these men have publicly acknowledged that they spoke against the Lafayette without having first learned both sides of the truth. I think that they have also admitted the truth or falsity of the statements made to them by the union officials and by the theatre management, they then felt it their duty to publicly state the result of their investigations, which were in effect, the theatre had done everything within its power to be fair to its employees. My first acquaintance with Professor Williams was when I heckled him during one of his speeches. My first contact with Mr. Hubert Harrison was when he accepted an invitation to come to my home and discuss the operators' difficulties. Must say that the world has altogether too few men blessed with thinking that the education is fair-mindedness, the culture which Hubert Harrison possesses. To add to the statements that have been issued concerning the operators' difficulties would be useless. The life has been passed altogether too frequently. It is not pleasant to say that the men who have been married with a soldier and wilder. The dicht, as you state, is a serious question as to whether or not the operators did it is obvious. There is a serious question as to whether or not the operators did the fair and wise thing in joining the union, not only because of their doubtful financial benefits, but because of the "Jim Crow" aspect of their membership. But discarding even this element of the "Jim Crow" aspect of their membership, it is not difficult to say that the better part of "I" is that while we required the demands of the union as unfair, while we did not then, and do not now, think that the operators have the right to demand a five-hour working day, the Lafayette Theatre did offer to employ these men at the union's own unreasonable terms. Our former, the exception and the exception not to permit ourselves to be bullied. The public knows these things. Even if we had been entirely wrong in our handling of this problem, we do not believe that the complaint of two men could in any slight degree be set against the undoubted benefits which the Lafayette Theatre confers on hundreds of employees (I mean, of course, the same as the one we own staff). But we are in the happy position of being ENTREESY tight. The well-paid, satisfied colored employee in the Lafayette Theatre today often—or can all attest to the fairness of the theatre's treatment. The 25,000 people who came to the Lafayette Theatre last week to see the show (and the performance) are the most important part of the of the esteem in which the public holds us. To us they represent the finest compensation that comes from years of patient and endless labor to provide patrons the kind of entertainment they like in surrounding that they enjoy. know. Here is a community which for more than three years supported the greatest effort which the race has yet made in the theatre, in a stock company which attracted the best observers and critics of the theatres which white America and Europe have to their credit. Here is a community which has boasted its Clarence Muse and its Walker Thompson, its Abbie Mitchell, its Susie Sutton and others too numerous to mention, who went into the heart of the white man's citadel of the theatrical refinement, the Drama, and forced from his reluctant lips the phrase TRILENDOUS. Here is a community which has made Herbert Beerbohm Tree, from far away London, come in humble pilgrimage to the shrine of his profession among "backward black folks" as Schiffman thinks us to be) and pay is tribute to the sheer brilliance of their performance—a And Edgar M. Grey Has Brought a Semi-Legal Summation to Bear on a Letter From Mr. Frank Schiffman Which Will Disclose That We Do Not Stand Alone in Our Claims Negro Motion Picture Operators' Fight Will Not Down The Subjoined Article Covers Great Territory and Will Be Appreciated by Readers of This Paper DID THE DRAMA REALLY FAIL IN LEVY'S DAY? By EDGAR M. GREY THIS high-minded "Box-Office Philosopher," whose rightful degree is "P. H. B.-O.-" is a marvel at sophistry, by which is meant the ability to use words which have nothing whatsoever to do with the idea which he would express, but which has always served clever men to bridge the chasm in their real thinking, whenever the brain-beat or brain-throb ceases to function properly. Our philosopher opens his remarkable letter with an apology — as if any public man who has talked as much as he needs ever apologize for writing down his verbal fulminations! But the remarkable notion which he would seek to convey is that he was moved to write his letter because of certain previous statements which had appeared in The Amsterdam News in reference to Mr. Schiffman's activities at the "Lafavette Theatre and of my humble self." An examination of the words which follow this introduction—or should we say apologia?—shows that no humble man has written at all, but, in fact, discloses the haughty mind of a man who objects to being the subject of criticism by the public press. Our hero next moves on to the Cross of Calvary and poses as a first-class martyr. He says "While I was surprised to see the remark which I made to you concerning the apparent failure of my efforts to make friends with certain people in this community appear in print. I confess freely and frankly that this is one of the keenest disappointments that I have had during the five years of my labor in Harlem." As for sheer "crucifixion" horsepain this is the limit! If the statement is true and was not given under the pledge of silence, why on earth should anyone be surprised to find it in the prints, especially when it was given to a well-known newspaperman? The only reason which an impartial judge can ascribe for this plea of surprise is the fact that this man's conceit pervades his ideas to such an extent that his understanding of the fitness of things is a trifle warped. After this Mr. Schiffman becomes reminiscent and reminds the sporting editor of The Amsterdam News that, "Nobody can ever accuse you of having at any time exhibited an over-friendly attitude to me or to the interests that employ me." Will Mr. Schiffman kindly inform us since when has it become the proper function of the editor of a newspaper to be over-friendly to the management of a business operated for the use of the public and for the financial gain of its owners and investors? We wonder whether Mr. Schiffman would criticize the New York Times and its editors for lack of over-friendiness — we doubt it. Then comes the real joker in Mr. Schiffman's letter. He says: "I think that it is generally recognized that we brought about a substantial improvement in the entire tone of the theatrical entertainment which this community enjoys. We took over the New Douglas and Roosevelt Theatres when they were miserable failures in every sense of the word. We conducted them in as clean and as attractive and as entertaining a way as their very structures permitted. We trained considerate and courteous employees, and, what is more important, we succeeded in bringing to Harlem a better class of pictures than had before been presented and directly after their downtown (Broadway) presentation." We submit that we had lived in this community during the entire period of Mr. Schiffman's operation of the theatres which he mentions above; we submit further that we resided in this community for years since he ceased to manage them, and for over a dozen years before he came to those theatres, and we do not think that the known evidence bears out his pat upon his own back. For we recall that the New Douglas in the year 1922 was cited by the Health Department as one of the "filthy" places in Harlem, which had gone without proper sanitary inspection for some time, until that year, when the Hon. Royal S. Copeland, then Health Commissioner of the City of New York, in a speech at the Palace Casino gave the thing away when reading at a paper. He said: "Even your theatres have become the source of much worry to the officials of the Department of Health. We have lately found out that they are filthy and unsanitary, and that the inspection of these places had been neglected for so long a time as to endanger to an alarming extent the health of those who must sit in them during a single show. I will cite just a few of these disease-ovens for you — the Lincoln, the New Douglas, the Odeon and the Roosevelt. I shall cause the inspection forces of the Department to constantly co-operate with the Fire Department until such time as I shall receive reports which indicate a change of mind on the part of those semi-criminals who operate them." As Clarence Darrow has well said: "The conceit of an ignorant person has no bounds." How any man can claim to have raised the theatrical tone of a community which before his advent to it had entertained the Royal Lights of Broadway and the Strand with the highest form of human theatrical expression, the Drama, we do not NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. NOV. 17. 1926 November 11. 1926. performance which not even the celebrities of Broadway had seen surpassed in their experience. Then, too, if we suppose, for the sake of argument, that Mr. Schiffman used the word "tone" loosely and did not use it to mean that he had improved the qualitative character of our stage—suppose we grant that he only meant that he had cleaned the theatres up, had brought more attractive pictures to the houses which he managed; suppose we concede that he did do this; suppose we further concede, that he succeeded thereby. What benefits have come to the community? What advancement has been gained to the colored moving picture industry? What encouragement has come to the individuals of the group who might aspire to the profession of a screen actor? What pecuniary benefits have reached the group which were not of an individual character, which affected the group as a social unit? None whatsoever. For the only real beneficiaries were the owners of the playhouses which employed Mr. Schiffman to manage them. And if a man's duty as manager is not to be efficient, pray, tell us what may be his duty. Now he comes in the role of Shylock. He says: "We even aroused your wrath by withdrawing the 'ads' from the colored papers, solely because we believed that they were not productive of results; but we recall with pleasure that when we decided to do some advertising by way of personal announcements, we engaged you to do the work, and that you publicly expressed yourself as satisfied with the compensation which you received. The increased attendance at these theatres was an adequate and gratifying answer to our labors and to these accomplishments." Now, in the name of goodness, what manner of man is this? Upon what meat has our Caesar fed? Here he comes along and argues that the only reason why his conduct of the theatres might have displeased anyone was because of the fact that he had withdrawn advertisement from the colored press. Now we present the same conclusion that this would have been sufficient in any other community to cause the self-respecting persons in that community to become enraged enough to have committed mayhem. Think of a man coming into a community and arguing that an appeal to the residents of the community through the press would be unproductive! Does this gentleman really understand that this was a frank insult to the intelligence of the community? Does he deny to our people the common intelligence of reading the Negro press, which is a hundred years old? Does he realize that even among foreign-born Jews one newspaper conducted in the interest of them has reached the dizzy heights in circulation of one million readers? Why, then, should he come to this community with a supposition different to that which is presumed of such an unread public as the foreign-born Jews? Well, my lord, we understand quite well that this is the way the majority of white folk who come to a colored community do business. Their first act is to discredit all of the social and educational instruments among us which refuse to do their will. Yes, and now he tells us that because the dramatic editor expressed himself as being satisfied with compensation which had been given to him for some private work done, that this should serve as a general approval by this editor for all times of any conduct, right or wrong, on the part of Mr. Schiffman and his hordes. For this is the only conclusion which we may draw from this last recital by Mr. Schiffman of his personal relationship with the dramatic editor of this newspaper. For, if this is not his plain intent, why has Mr. Schiffman mentioned it in his letter. And, finally, he argues that an increased attendance at the theatres was an answer to his labors. Well, what else could it have been? Why do we labor, if it is not to increase and secure our income? And when this has been accomplished we only have actual justification for the policies which brought about this return. But we submit again that this was a score between Mr. Schiffman and his employers and stockholders, and if they were decent he was entitled to a raise in salary and perhaps even to a share in the enterprise and in some cases to a long-term contract for his services; but how does this affect the tone of the theatrical outlook and character of the community? We confess that we are still unregenerate; we cannot yet see the benefit which our friend flaunts. We only thank heaven that this community is still represented by a press which will cause our friends the "Outlanders" to become angry and confused in their logic. And when Mr. Schiffman continues further on to say that he is ignorant of the successes of the theatre under the period of the drama and stock company, we will simply repeat that age-old maxim, that "ignorance of the law excuseth no man." And if, as he said, the efforts of Mr. Walton and of Mr. Levy were financial failures, he is simply setting up a straw man to knock him down, for we are not arguing anything about financial successes. We are simply asserting that this community will support the Drama. We can prove this from the number in actual figures of the members of the community who go downtown in attendance at those "white" playhouses which are still demonstrating that the Drama is an expression of the highest human emotion. And further, we have never told Mr. Schiffman nor any of his servants that we would recommend that he turn over his playhouse entirely to the service of the Drama. All that we can recall having suggested to Mr. Schiffman was that he intersperse his present type of entertainment with a few plays of the dramatic expression. We are satisfied that the Negro shares in common with other civilized people the desire, however faint or however pronounced, to have pass through the processes of his mind the higher and more refined things of human experience. And further, it is our opinion that, even though we might be proud of the devastating immoral effects which most of the plays and vaudeville suggestions leave with our people, they would from time to time relish a variation from what Mr. Schiffman evidently considers our norm. And if it is his opinion that the play "Puddin' Jones" had been a failure, we would ask him to tell us if he knows, or if he does not, to seek the same sources from which he received his other information and to tell us whether "Madame X" and "Common Clay" were also failures, even from his point of view—financial. And we suggest that no amount of crocodile tears on the part of the Box-Office Philosopher, even when sarcasm is intended, will alter our opinion that the masses of the colored people do not differ from the masses of any other class of people and are entitled to other stage presentations than many that Mr. Schiffman has brought to their neighborhood playhouse. And the fact that Mr. Schiffman reminds us that we were along with other people whom he advised with before he took over the management of the theatre does not in our opinion deny us the right to continue to suggest that a change in the type of play presented to the Harlem ELEVEN audience is now in order. And even if Mr. Schiffman attempts to beg the question by stating in his letter that the Lafayette Theatre is not the type of playhouse suitable for the Drama, which we deny only by inviting his attention to the history of the theatre, we do not feel that his argument merits any reply, except a repetition of the previous assertion that there is a demand for a variation of the theatrical fare upon which our folk in Harlem are fed. We are not concerned with the promise of the Box-Office Philosopher to tell us some day of the losses which he sustained when he first went to the Lafayette Theatre. This is his business. We are not stupid enough to imagine that he would disclose his gains to us, and even if he were so inclined, we would not be interested, unless, along with the disclosure of his earnings to us, would come a distribution of some portion of it to us or to some member of the community. And since neither we nor Mr. Schiffman believe in Communism he would do well to keep both his losses and his gains to himself. And Mr. Schiffman may not win his case by pointing out that when he had made certain alterations in the interior decoration in the Lafayette Theatre that the editor had commended him; for this was only the courtesy which was due him and his management for the change in heart over that which they felt when they first came to the theatre, believing that any kind of filth was good enough for the colored people. And the change which he cites in his letter only came after Mr. Dougherty, the theatrical editor of the Amsterdam News, had "panned" the management for the filthy condition in which the place was kept. What Mr. Schiffman does not appear to understood is that the record of Mr. Dougherty has been that he had always criticized any previous management to Mr. Schiffman which made the same mistakes as Mr. Schiffman's management was guilty of when he first established it at the Lafayette Theatre. And to remind Mr. Dougherty that he had predicted that if anyone could make the theatre pay that that one was Mr. Schifman, is no argument: For only a moron or an imbecile would refuse to give credit where it was due; and if the sporting and dramatic editor recognized certain qualities in Mr. Schifman, which, if possessed by any other man, would help that one to make a success, the fact that Mr. Schifman is whom he is was not sufficient reason in the mind of this newspaperman to withhold from him an expression of encouragement which these qualities justly merited. We can only conclude that since Mr. Schifman is not in the habit of giving certain people credit, even when they justly deserve it, that he took Mr. Dougherty's magnanimity as passing strange. Well, we can assure Mr. Schifman that this quality of being ready to be fair even to one who is beastly offensive in other connections is one of the cardinal qualities of the colored newspaper profession. Mr. Schiffman ought to know by this time that the difference between assertion and proof is tremendous. And for honest reasons in argumentation when he asserts anything he should offer some kind of proof if he does not desire to be laughed out of court. He comes along and says that Mr. Dougherty's estimate of the audiences at the Lafayette Theatre is erroneous; but he failed to submit one iota of proof to substantiate this assertion. We shall leave this point in his letter open until such time as he learns some of the elementary rules in argumentation. Sure you are correct, Mr. Schiffman, when you state that your shows at the Lafayette can compare favorably with the shows on Broadway? But, pray tell us in whose favor would the favor of the comparison be? And, finally, since when has Mr. Schiffman qualified as an intelligence expert when he assures us that his audiences are just as serious and intelligent as any audiences to be found anywhere? But even if he has qualified as an intelligence expert, we would only need to point out that people of that profession and calling earn more than do theatrical managers, and so he is wasting time at his present undertaking. Conne. now, Mr. Schiffman, let us be serious. Who was it who said that even a burglar is serious, and please tell us is burglary any sign of good? Of course not. Well, if even we could be forced to believe that Mr. Schiffman had undertaken a census of his audience and had examined their minds, we would still be trying to pose the question who was it that had passed on the mentality of the learned Mr. Schiffman and had left his stamp of approval upon his forehead? Any ordinary mind may grasp this proposition: That advances in human development are not instituted because the persons who would benefit demand them. When Edison invented the electric bulb and filament, I am quite sure that it must have been at the invitation of Mr. Schiffman, and that after repeated demands which had been refused that Edison finally agreed to make the improvement. Surely, but the majority of us were quite satisfied to see by the old kerosene lamp and by the old tallow candle. And the man Guttemberg must have invented the type after a howling mob of newspaper men had stormed his house in the old German city of Gottingen and demanded that this invention be effected. Well, we doubt it, and so the rule holds all the way; from the stage to the invention of printing type and an electric lamp. Men of far-sighted vision always set the pace and after all is over they are the ones which we remember longest. But our Philosopher Shylock is not of that heavenly type. He wants his ducats; and must receive every penny of them. For which we do not blame him, but he must not try to convince us that he is a philanthropist and knows better than anyone else what is good or bad for the masses. Our advice to him is that he should be a specialist in one field or another, but do not try to "hog" the whole scene. For Mr. Schiffman to tell us that we might be surprised to know that "those whom the community considers its leaders find pleasure and relaxation at the Lafayette Theatre" is another excellent but of sophistry in which Mr. Schiffman is a master. For all of us know that the leader of the Negro race has always been selected for it by the white man, and it is only when a Negro above the average refuses to permit this alien selection that men of Mr. Schiffman's type and ilk become as outraged as Mr. Schiffman attempts to convince us that he is by his letter. We note, however, that Mr. Schiffman refused to let us in on the secret of whom these leaders were. Please inform us for we, too, would like to know which is which—we would like to know. what are the qualifications for this leadership and whether mere attendance at the theatre is sufficient to make one a member of the select. And when Mr. Schiffman says that the credit for doing away with "starving chorus girls, of shabby productions and struggling, poverty-stricken producers" is his, we are forced to demand facts and data. For we had been under the impression right along that this change in the theatrical profession among colored as well as white was general, and due to the same time-worn reasons. We had thought that the rise of the colored girl in the theatrical profession, whether as chorus (Continued on Page 12.)

From the outset it was evident that the lighter West New York team was no match for the blue-jerseyed "AS" and it was just a question of what the score would be. In the first quarter, while running back a punt, Todd Bolden hurt his ankle and was removed in favor of Gillmer. From then on the colored boys dashed all over the field. A succession of line plays and end runs brought the ball within striking distance of the West New York goal. Allen Jackson was called to take it over and he made the first touchdown of the season for the colored boys. in the second quarter Lucas intercepted a West New York forward pass and ran fully forty-five yards for the second touchdown. A safety in the third quarter added two more points for New York. Then, in the last quarter, Gilmer ploughed his way through the entire West New York team for the third and last touchdown of the game. Allen Jackson kicked the ball over on each touchdown for the extra point. The game was marred by an injury to the game little A. S. C. end. Merritt, who suffered a broken ankle in the second quarter.

A matinee dance and cabaret is the attraction and the place will be the Cotton Club, at 142d street and Lenox avenue. The Cotton Club orchestra and revue will be among the features and it is a foregone conclusion that the younger set will be out in full. The Child Welfare and Recreation Center of the Utopia Neighborhood will be the beneficiaries in the event of success being registered. The Utopia Club has started a drive to raise $25,000 to carry on the work at the beautiful new home on 130th street. The committee in charge of the affair will include: Mesdames Rate Corbin, Susie Pierce, Rebecca Middleton, Helena Tyers, Cassie Jackson, Gertrude Martin, May Shelton, Carrie Payne, Florence Richardson, W.

Many Out at Big Urban League Ball Friday Gay Throng Had Enjoyable Time at Manhattan Casino at Fancy Dress Affair It was a gay throng that filled Manhattan Casino last Friday night at the big costume and fancy dress ball which has become one of the fixtures in a city where it takes more than the average amount of hard work to keep constantly before the public. The ladies of the Auxiliary of the New York Urban League worked hard to make the affair the success it turned out to be, and in the early morning hours when those wearing the costumes of this and a bygone day prepared great applause greeted those who had donned attire which drew and held the fancy of those on the side lines. From early evening, until the judging of the costumes, the gathering danced to the strains of John C. Smith's well known orchestra, and though the crowd was not as large as at former affairs of the same organization, the floor presented an animated scene which made even the non-dancers present glad for being among the number patronizing the ball. M News Writer in Ringing Reply to the Lafayette Theatre Manager News Writer in Ringing Reply to the Lafayette Theatre Manager girl or principal, was due particularly to the break among the managers and the white actors' profession in the year 1920. We had also thought that it was the record of such plays as "Shuffle Along" and "Runnin' Wild" which made the change in the appearance of the colored performer all around. We were even of the opinion that the only time that first-class plays came to the Lafayette was after they had been organized for Broadway, had appeared on Broadway and were either in the process of disbanding for one reason or another or that they had a lull in their regular engagements and that by arrangements with the producers they had come to the management of the great Delphian Oracle, Mr. Schiffman. But perhaps we are all wrong. Perhaps Mr. Schiffman is withholding his evidence for another time, and until then we feel that our first guess is as good as his, according to the evidence at hand, and that he had as much to do with raising the level of the colored performer as the Prince of Wales had to do with the size of the British Empire. We are glad that Mr. Schiffman, according to his letter, will be glad to take into consideration such things as fire prevention laws and regulation when he gets ready to build his little theatre for the Drama. We are glad that he has become acquainted with the laws and is desirous of respecting them. But we would submit that he need not ever discuss the matter over with the management of The Amsterdam News or with Mr. Dougherty, for we are not contractors nor builders and are only members of the profession with another rebel who bore in his veins the blood of all non-conformists—red blood. His name was Russwurm; he founded the Negro Press. We doubt, however, that Harlem will ever have any theatre constructed by any man whose name is Schiffman. Of course, we may be wrong, but it was always our opinion that "drone bees" had only one function and that was to extract the honey from the hive and not bring honey. That is the real reason that they are denominated as "drone bees." Mr. Schiffman waited until he was about to close his letter before he mentioned the real reason for his annoyance—the strike which is being conducted by the union at his theatre. And there, he tells us, that he holds no brief either for "Professor" Williams nor for Hubert Harrison. Well, we don't give a rap whether he does or not, and it was a pitiable introduction to the mention of the names of these men: For we not long ago learned that the old-time Jews who followed Moses laid it down as a sound piece of philosophy that in every "thou shalt not" there was a natural desire behind the person enjoined to do the thing enjoined against. And it is good common sense American that he who pays the piper also calls the tune that he is rearing to play. Mr. Schiffman says in his letter, which he calls lengthy, that it will be remembered that at the outset of his acquaintance with both of these men they were pitched against him and his interests and were both on the side of the union. We confess that we had thought right along that both of these gentlemen had started merely on the side of the public and not on the side of either the union nor Mr. Schiffman. However, we may be all wrong and so we will let that point pass. We will only stop long enough to say that both of these gentlemen said in print in letters which bore a faint suspicion of having been suggested by our Philosopher that when they started out they had been neutral. Well, perhaps our friend, the big "sugar" man, has inside information on these men and so we shall not refute him. There is one thing that we would like to ask Mr. Schiffman to clear up for us, however, and that is this: If both Harrison and Williams started out against the theatre and changed over to his side after they had discovered that the case of the union was faulty, why was it that just at the time that they came over to him he was making overtures FISHEL'S FINE Furniture 139 WEST 125th St. (Opposite Koch's) Our Merchandise Is Guaranteed to Last Our Terms Are Liberal This Week's Special FLOOR LAMP Value $15.00 $9.75 Open Monday and Saturday Until 9 P.M.

For one thing or the other must be the case. Either he had no confidence in the findings of these two men which he has cited or that he had more information about the position of the union than he permitted the men who were upon his side to find out. Or, is it that he was only trying to spoof the union when he declared himself ready to make these concessions to the union and the men? In any case, the findings of these men have been made worthless by the very man whom they sought to serve and there is no real reason for mentioning their names unless Mr. Schiffman believes that he is still able to further carry on the hoax. And we would, in common with other men of sanity, like the manager of the Lafayette Theatre to inform us why was it if the intellect of the community had turned against the union that he kept the injunction hanging over the heads of the men and was so strong for its enforcement that he had caused a young man who is really representative in the community to be arrested and convicted, and who now has that conviction as a record against him, and against his future career? For we are constrained to declare that unless he considered the defection, as he said, from the union of these two men an important incident in favor of the cause which he represented, why was it that he patted himself on the back when he-found them on his side and against the union. And while we have our own opinion about the cause of the defection of one of these men we are certain that the cause for the defection of the other was true to his record and to his form. For even those who are mental defectives in the community know that one of those men is a hopeless mountebank who will jump anywhere that he can find a stray dollar, and that even Mr. Schiffman must by this time have found him out; but what can one expect? Evil has always gathered together strange bedfellows. And now the clever Mr. Schiffman has over-reached himself by telling us in his letter that his first acquaintance with Mr. Harrison was when he, Mr. Harrison, accepted an invitation to go to the home of Mr. Schiffman to discuss the difficulties of the operators. Why has a man to go to the home of the chief of one side or another to discuss the affairs of another side? Nations and individuals have always sought neutral ground when they would discuss matters upon which they considered the advice of a neutral party important. And in no case will a perfectly neutral person permit the place of such discussion to be suggested or to be under the control or keeping of any of the aggrieved parties. Mr. Schiffman is taking coals to Newcastle when he tries to tell us of the intellectual gifts of Mr. Hubert Harrison, for we are all students of his gifts and are well acquainted with them. But what is most important in this connection is, what has Mr. Schiffman done to utilize the brain of so able a man, whom he says in his letter is so learned and so well admired by him. We do not know, but we believe that there must even be a clerkship that Mr. Harrison might fill creditably in the office of his friend and benefactor, Mr. Schiffman. But up to date we have not yet heard of anything substantial that Mr. Schiffman has done for the good and learned Mr. Harrison. We would submit that here would be a chance for this great and good man to do something for one whom we all join in declaring to be efficient with a capital "E." Mr. Schiffman closes his great letter by informing us of certain aspects of the struggle between himself and the Union. We feel that as long as the injunction remains that we are not at liberty to discuss the aspects of the case, as he presented them in his letter, in this publication. But we are satisfied to remind the great Mr. Schiffman that might has never made right, and that, while we are not in a position to call for proof from both sides on the matter that he tried to state in his letter, that when the whole matter is ended, however it might end, we shall feel it a public duty to inform the public impartially of the merits and demerits of both sides to the struggle. And, anyway, when a man closes his case by simply asserting that, "But we are in the happy position of being entirely right," that is sufficient to warn all that he is the judge, the jury, and the prosecuting attorney. We will not take the trouble, as Mr. Schiffman suggests, to go to the theatre and ask his employees whether they are satisfied or not, for the rules of evidence in America do not pay more attention to the verbal than to the documentary evidence—and since we have in our files written proof that all is not well from this same source, we shall simply pay as much attention to this invitation as we would pay to the braying of asses and the velling of children. The final passage in Mr. Schiffman's letter is too delicious to be permitted to go unnoticed. He closes his letter by telling the world that in the last week he had an attendance at his theatre of 23,000. This, he says, is proof of the esteem in which he is held by the people in the community. Well, all we can say is that there are more than twelve millions of Negroes who are in this country and that the greater portion of them still reside in the South, the land of the tar and the feather. And that there are more than two and one-half millions of Jews who still reside in Poland and other sections of Europe, where the "pogrom" is the order of the day for them. Will the good Mr. Schiffman tell us whether it is his honest opinion that these Jews of Europe and the Negroes of the southern section of the United States hold in high esteem the masters of those countries. If so, we will be forced to agree that any attendance at the Lafayette Theatre is proof positive of the estimation in which Mr. Schiffman and his friends are hled. Until then we rest this argument upon the merits and are of the opinion that people may ordinarily be left to form an opinion as to the right or wrong of a side of any question under controversy. 400 Pounds of Turkeys for Savoy Ballroom Patrons of the Savoy Ballroom are in for a rare treat over the Thanksgiving holidays. A continual round of festivities will commence on Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday night. November 24, continuing on Thanksgiving Day with an elaborate matinee program and conclude with the much talked about Thanksgiving night ball. Thanksgiving Eve will witness the last day on earth for twenty live turkeys which will be given free to twenty savoy patrons. Big ones, tall ones, fat ones, short ones, but no lean ones, will provide a feast of plenty for a large group of dance lovers on Thanksgiving Day. Other features will be crowded into the night's fun to make it a cele- bration worth attending. The matinee dance on Thanksgiving Day will be alive with several unique 'trivolities that all pleasure seekers will relish. A surprise, the nature of which the management of the Savoy will not reveal, will enliven the proceedings considerably, if some of the previous surprises staged at the popular ballroom in the past are the criticions by which this surprise can be judged. The Grand Thanksgiving Night Ball bids fair to be Savoy's greatest event. Something like ten thousand dollars will be spent to provide a carload of astonishing attractions. While the price of admission remains the same as ever, the sacle upon which this grand ball is being prepared is so extraordinary tremendous that all discriminating seekers after the fors of life should make it their businesses to see and hear it all.

FRENCH BOXER GETS DECISION Knockouts and surprises in abundance were furnished Saturday night to the fans of the Walker A. C. of Harlem. Every contest on the program ended before the required distance. Tony Canzoneri, former amateur star, began his winning campaign by stopping Enrique Savardo in the fifth round of the feature ten-round bout. Canzoneri outclassed his opponent thoroughly until the referee stopped the bout. Joe Scallaro provided the unexpected thrill when he knocked out Dencho Dencio in the second round of the ten-round semi-final. After flooring Dencho In the second round Scallaro backed him against the ropes and battered him severely before the arbiter halted the proceedings to save Pancho. Joe Walcott stopped Cy Schindel in the eighth round. Schindel suffered two fractured ribs during the battle and fought valiantly until he fell down exhausted. Pierre Gandon, French middleweight champion, was credited with a knockout over Kid Alberts in the fourth round when the fight was stopped. Alberts suffered a bad cut over the left eye and was unable to continue. The four-round emergency contest was stopped in the final round with Clarence Jones being declared the victor over Willie George. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY.

Strong Cliftons to Tackle the Renaissance Here Sunday Night Sam Patterson's Orchestra Will Play for Big Game at Manhattan Thanksgiving Night That attention should be focused upon the big game between the Renaissance Five and one of the leading white basketball teams in the country at Manhattan Casino Thanksgiving night is natural, for despite the fact that many fans will journey to Washington to witness the clash between Howard and Lincoln Universities at Howard's new stadium, there are hundreds who will remain here. And they must be furnished a thrill after the usual Thanksgiving dinner. One can find thrills in many ways, but in our opinion few there are that can equal the clash of young athletes battling for supremacy on the basketball court. Such a thrill will be offered at Manhattan Casino on the night following "turkey day," for aside from the game which will most likely extend the local team to win, those behind the venture have engaged Sam Patterson's Orchestra to furnish the music for the occasion and there are few better any place in the country. To keep up the interest of the coming big battle at the old battle ground, the Renaissance Five will tackle the crack Clifftons the coming Sunday night in their regular game at the Renaissance Casino. Captain Slocum is expected to take the floor against the famous white combination and the game should be one that can be classed among the best to be offered in a city where basketball is far from being unknown. RENAISSANCE IN TRIUMPH Flashing some of the potentialities of a true World's championship basketball team, the Renaissance Big Five of upper Manhattan island completed the favorable end of a doubleheader with Union City's stalwarts at the Renaissance Casino last Sunday night by the count of 42 to 31. The first game was played on the home court of the losers, and ended 31 to 20. With Saunders substituting for Slocum in center because of injuries of the latter, the Harlem quintet was not as flashy and as deadly in passing as it has been. but it was not without the offensive prowess that makes winning teams. Union City, too, lacked effective team work, and faced with the literally impenetrable defense of Bob Douglas' clan, was unable to make its attack a determining feature. George Fiall and "Pappy" Ricks, who intercepted a pass to initiate the scoring for the evening, broke even in the tally department with five floor shots and a trio of single pointers each, netting twenty-six scoreboard marks between them. Kampmeyer, the unassailable guard of the Jersey lads, was next in order with four double-deckers and two singles for ten points, while Eggers, the lanky pivot man, was next down the line with three of each variety for a sum of nine.

He is not dead, but sleeping in the arms of Jesus. He was a good man and loved by all. All the family were present at his bedside when Jesus called him. His last few words before he died were, "Dear Jesus, I come to Thee." He leaves a host of friends, wife, two daughters and son, and he shall ever watch over them and guide them to the heavenly home where he is now resting free from this wicked, sinful world. The thought, dear one, that you should go To where God's fadeless lilies grow. Has wrought upon our hearts a grief That finds from sorrow no reilief. The breath of spring, the rosy morn. The moonlight finds us sad, forlorn. And our dreams of you reveal The loneliness we'll always feel. Oh, true of heart. O dear be- lover.

This school for Negro boys and girls was founded twenty-two years ago by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, a graduate of the Scotia Seminary in Concord, N. C., and the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Ill. "I wanted to be a missionary," said Mrs. Bethune, as she told of her struggle for an education. "My parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel McLeod, of Mayesville, S. C., had seventeen children and I was the fifteenth of the seventeen. We were poor, and naturally I stood little chance of getting an extensive education." It was Miss Mary Crissman, a Quaker, who gave little Mary McLeod her chance. Miss Crissman had been taught to give one-tenth of her income to charity. The money she sent to the Quaker fund was appropriated to Where Cooking Is an Art Domestic Science Room of Bethune-Cookman College TO THOSE who have not studied the facts of Negro leadership, in Harlem politics, the statement that there is no leadership among Harlem Negroes will undoubtedly appear to be a contradiction in facts. But to those who have taken the trouble to observe this phase of Harlem's political life, the outlines of the argument will be clear and all that will be needed in order to understand the reasons for this strange situation will be the details. Generally speaking, the social arrangement of the American Negro so far as leadership is concerned has always been a contradiction in human social development. The Negro differs in this particular from other people, in that his leadership and leaders have never needed his approval for existence and permanence. At no time has he enjoyed the right which is common to other people—the privilege of choosing and supporting his leader. His leaders have always been independent of his will and contemptuous of his approbation. This has been so true that the intelligence of the Negro has involved a phrase descriptive of his situation which may be stated as follows: "If a Negro desires to be a leader, that is, successful, all he needs to do is to cultivate the acquaintance of some big white man, and then tell him that it is his desire to be a leader of his people and 'presto,' be achieves its desire." This age-long practice of selecting the leadership of the race has evolved itself into a rule, which when expressed in a old hard phrase is a a "white kid Negre" and this rule holds good in Harlem in the same way and to the same degree that it has existed in other sections of the country. In 1911, when Harlem had been almost crystallized into the black community it now is, a few men of vision came along under he leadership of the redoubtable John M. Royall, and fed the dying political child some sort of grue which prolonged its life. At this time a few Negre-names need be mentioned: were enjoying he crumples that fell from the master's tables, and they were nearly upset by the new voices. Royall paid no heed to the A High Spot in Florida mouthings of these old cronies and by the year 1912 a man named Louis A. Lavelle from "Old Kentucky," and a fighter, had the nerve to run as an independent candidate for the board of aldermen, as the Republican candidate, but the Republican convention smothered him. This was thought to be the end of the tale but the political bosses reckoned without their host, for the year 1913 found John Royall just as militant and more prepared for fighting than he was the previous year for, in the meanwhile, he had organized the United Civic League that was prepared to take the field as an out and our rebel. Royall supported the efforts of several men for public office and they all failed until the year 1917, when John J. Lyons, leader of the Nineteenth assembly district, found Royall and his organization so formidable that he made peace with him and placed a colored man's name on the ticket for the office of state assemblyman in exchange for Royall's support. This was the first and only time in the history of Harlem politics that a man chosen by the people was actually the spokesman and leader of his people in a struggle for political recognition. Royall chose Edward A. Johnson, a wealthy lawyer, for THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD Curtis Hall at Bethune-Cookman College. (Insert—Mrs. Bethune) ward the expenses of Mary McLeod, a poor little Negro girl in the rice fields of South Carolina. give the school a fortency." replied Mr. the post. Johnson was elected. The following year, Royall selected a new area for a siege and placed John Clifford Hawkins, an attorney unknown to all but his close friends and relations, as the man whom he would use to break down the Republican machinery in that district. A strenuous fight was waged and Hawkins was elected to the state assembly. This was the first time that a Negro had stirred up enough enthusiasm to beat a Republican machinery. This last act proved to be the undoing of the Civic League and Royall, for the newly elected assemblyman found it safer and more convenient to ally himself with the regular Republican machinery and the influence which should have accrued to Royall and his Civic League went to the Republican party and to its local district machine. Since that time, the leadership of the colored people in Harlem has remained in the hands of hand-picked men. The situation in the Democratic and Republican parties is the same, except for one thing, which is that in the Democratic party a Jim Crow system of party affiliation is maintained. There is no question about it, a colored man could be elected to the leadership of the entire Twenty-first assembly district and the Nineteenth assembly district if the Negroes were of average intelligence, and would attend to the matter of selecting a leader for themselves instead of fighting to decide which men should gain ascendency in the estimation of the white people. The whole difficulty in the Twenty-first and Nineteenth districts is that certain white people, in order to save their own positions over colored people, have organized and permanently maintained a system that has functioned perfectly in keeping the colored politicians in constant disagreement. Take the last primaries fight in the Twenty-first district, why on earth should it have taken place? It was born of the sys- THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, NOV.17.1926 By THELMA E. BERLACK Thirty years passed. These two Marys knew each other only through correspondence. In the meantime, Mary McLeod Bethune took her capital. $1.50, and five little girls in a one-room house and started a school in Florida. Today the school, valued at a little less than a million dollars, has 400 students and about 20 instructors. TWO MARYS MEET. The two Marys saw each other for the first time in September, 1825. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, of which Mrs. Bethune is president, met in Los Angeles, where Miss Crissman lives. One of the first things Mrs. Bethune did was to visit the woman who had made it possible for her to serve her race as a missionary and educator. Daytona-Cookman College was originally a girls' school. A little over two years ago the school became co-educational and was called the Daytona-Cookman Collegiate Institute, because of the amalgamation with Cookman Institute of the Methodist Episcopal Church. "This step was taken just to By EDGAR M. GREY tem of dissension inaugurated and maintained by whites as an instrument to perpetuate their overlordship. No one who is a student of the political affairs in Harlem can fail to see the truth of this last assertion. The recent primary fight in the Twenty-first district was the result of this system and manifested itself in the overweaning desire of one group of colored men to hold ascendency over another group. Future generations will damn all participants in that disgraceful affair, which still stinks in the nostrils of all who know and understand the inside reasons for the gladiatorial fete. some other man's leader, or they influence in the Co sessions to defeat another w place. This plan went for the reason that had selected a w name of John X their fight for the lin. They after that McNeal w Conklin and as when the con County Committee that year, so mu sulted among the it fell in line Conklin. The history of the clash grew out of a fact of mistaken policy on the part of the leader of the Twenty-first district, when he, a few years before, insisted upon recognizing John Hawkins as the spokesman of the colored people. He took this step as compensation to Hawkins for what some have pleased to call his perility in going over to the regular machine after Royall had used him to defeat the machine and had forced his election to the state legislature. This engendered the enmity of certain other men, who determined to wreak their vengeance upon the heads of Hawkins and Conklin. The result was that the relationship between Hawkins and Conklin tightened and the opposition grew fiercer and more determined. About this time an organization known as the Captains Club came into existence in 1921, and the Appomattox and the West Harlem Republican clubs sprung up under the leadership of Charles W. B. Mitchell and George W. Harris, respectively. These organizations to the present day have been of no service to the community. They have, however, permitted these fighting leaders to vent their spice against each other. In the year 1922, the Captains Club and the Appomattox Club, now become almost identical in object and personnel, combined to force Conklin to recognize give the school a form of perimancy." replied Mrs. Bethune when asked whether or not the school was endowed. "The Methodist Episcopal Church gives us $20,000 a year. We must raise the other $60,000." The academic department of the school has a junior college division, a normal training school, a senior high school, a commercial department and a school of music. In the industrial department, home economics is the major subject for girls. One division takes care of advanced students who plan to teach the subject of home economics; the other instructs beginners in cooking. This department teaches the boys tailoring, chair-caning, broom-making and carpentry. All boys from the junior high school through the second year senior high school are required to take some trade. On the faculty of thirty or more teachers the following schools are represented: Oberlin Conservatory and College. Yale. Talladega. Columbia. Howard. University of Iowa. University of California. Clarke. Wilberforce. Bethune-Cookman College. Florida A. and M. College. Hampton and Tuskegee. some other man than Hawkins as leader, or they would use their influence in the County Committee sessions to defeat Conklin and to elect another white man in his place. This plan went awry, however, for the reason that the opposition had selected a white man by the name of John McNeal to make their fight for them against Conklin. They afterwards claimed that McNeal was worse than Conklin and as a consequence, when the convention of the County Committee was called that year, so much confusion resulted among the opposition that it fell in line and re-elected Conklin. At this time Conklin, who is highly educated and intelligent, began to suspect that there must be something wrong with his man Hawkins, and proceeded to recommend Dr. Charles Roberts as the candidate for what proved to be a new office of "Associate Leader." Dr. Roberts was appointed to this office by the County Chairman, Sam Koenig, upon the advice of Conklin. Many people insist to this day that Hawkins advised Conklin to suggest the name of Roberts to Koenig. This office was the most unfortunate one which could have been accepted by the colored men, for the reason that it served as a new bone of contention and offered a substitute for the thing which should have been the goal of all serious minded and public spirited colored men—to be elected as the leader of the entire Twenty-first district, according to the laws of the city of New York, which places in the hands of any man, black or white, the leadership of his district if the group which desires to have him as leader polls the major vote of the county committee. The struggle grew worse for the oposition after this. Mitchell managed to fall out with Richard E. Warner, the man who had furnished most of the brains and the better portion of the money in his outfit. The rift came when Warner was unfor- EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS "No one," said Mrs. Bethune. "has ever given us a whole building, or a very large donation. All of our things have come in small lots—a dollar or two, a cow, a horse, a window curtain, etc. "Faith Hall, one of the largest buildings on the campus," she continued. "got its name because of its origin. It was built out of faith—the faith I had in my people, my work and my God. I gave carpenters, painters and plasterers socials. On one night the carpenters came and worked. Their pay was hot coffee and sandwiches. The next night, or even the next week, the painters came and worked. Again coffee and sandwiches were served. Each group worked hard to outdo the other group. In that way Faith Hall was built." Besides being the beacon light for thousands of Negroes, the school has a health center—the McLeod Hospital, it is called. At first there were but two small rooms and nine beds for the sick. The report for 1926 states that on the hospital staff are nine nurses, a superintendent of nurses, a medical director and a dietitian. Two hundred patients were administered to in the twenty-five beds during the year. Forty major operations and thirty minor operations were performed during the year. Through the dispensary 1.724 students and patients were served. "The State," said Mrs. Bethune, "has but one or two hospitals for Negroes. A sick race cannot be a progressive race. For this reason I started a hospital on the campus." The school sends weekly teachers and advanced students to three turpentine camps, situated five, seven and nine miles, respectively, from the school. This extension service has done much toward winning favor for the school. The hard-working, unfortunate types are reached in this way. The following is an excerpt from the Daytona, Beach Daily News, a white publication, of February 8, 1826: Daytona Beach has a colored citizenship of which any southern city could well be proud. They live in peace and harmony with their white neighbors. They support each and every movement for the progress and upbuilding of the city. tunate enough to have a wife in politics, and Mitchell was unfortunate enough to be charged with insulting her in the presence of several white people. No other colored person, it appears, was present at the time; and while Mitchell disclaimed any intention of insulting Mrs. Warner, she insisted that she had been grossly insulted and this broke the friendship of Warner and Mitchell. As a result of all this fighting, Mitchell, in 1924, was able to force the Republican party to name his candidate for congress—Dr. Charles Roberts. Roberts was not designated in the regular routine way—that is, he was not the choice of the members of the county committee assembled in a Congressional Convention—but was named as the congressional candidate at a special meeting of the Executive Committee of the New York County Republican Committee. This was done, primarily, to placate the colored voters throughout the country; but it was made a possibility only because of the fight which Mitchell had waged against the organization. Last year — 1925 — Harlem's colored citizens could have made history, and would have, had it not have been for the desire of one group to spite another group. What former leader of the colored race, say Fred Douglas, could be made to believe that a group of colored voters outnumbering a group of whites by nearly two to one, sitting in convention to name a leader, would have split so hopelessly as to result in naming a white man to that leadership, particularly when this was the first time in the history of the race that such an opportunity had presented itself. The following year, 1926, the same opportunity presented itself and to a greater extent in the favor of the colored men, with the same disgraceful result. With these facts we may justly conclude that there is no political leadership among colored people. There is none in the two largest districts in Harlem; for Faith Hall, One of the Fourteen Building on Campus, Was Constructed by Volunteer Service of Negro THE MUSEUM Faith Hall, Bethune-Cookman College, Built by Services Donated by Negro Tradesmen Few Black Representatives of Africa on League of Nations Possibly largely through the influence of Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune and the Bethune-Cookman. College, the Negroes of this city are better behaved, better mannered, better educated and more refined than in most cities. At present Mrs. Bethune is in New York City in interest of her school. She has lectured to rep- Faith Hall, Bethune-Cookman nated by Neg it is almost an open secret that the "sinews of war" which maintained Mr. Mitchell's army during the last struggle in the Twenty-first district were furnished by the artful David Costuma of the Nineteenth district, who has also seen the handwriting on the wall. Costuma sees the time not far distant when a fight will be waged against his leadership and in order to defer hostilities, divers attention from his own leadership by encouraging the battlers of the Twenty-first district to keep up the fracas. Today, if such a man as Charles Anderson desired to take the leadership of the district from Costuma, the white leader, he could do so; but succeeding administrations of Republicans have taken care of "Charlie" and he is satisfied. This, then, is the state of Few Black Repres Africa or Horace G. Alexander is quoted by "The African World" as写 writing in the "World Outlook" that, although the population of the African Continent is estimated at 180,000,000 people, only three African states are represented on the League of Nations, and of these one is represented by white men only. The state with white representatives is the Union of South Africa. Mr. Alexander con- tinues: "The other two are Liberia and Abyssinia, both of them weak states, subject to the economic exploitation of white men, though not actually subjected to political control. The rest of Africa is ruled by the British, French, Belgian, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish governments. Indeed, the one man who so far has effectively represented the Negro races in the world's political assembly is M. Dantes Bellergarde, the brilliant resentative groups of both races and has broadcast over Station WEAF. "Our school stresses a threefold education." said she, as she told how the $50,000 she expects to raise within five weeks will be used. "The head, hand and heart are the means of our future success." They will help us put over our viewpoint and get for us equality and opportunity." at Faith Built College, Built by Services Do- ro Tradesmen affairs in Harlem among the colored people and until the public takes an interest in the political affairs of community and drives from office and from political activity, by their votes and interest, these warring leaders in whose minds personal spite is more important than race, political advancement is impossible. Some believe that relief will come when the Legislature at Albany passes a bill creating a colored district. The writer holds no such notion, for the reason that a new suit has never in his opinion changed the heart of a wicked man; it only makes him more presentable. A colored district without a change of heart among the people of Harlem will only give our gladiators more spoils to fight for, and, as a capitalist once said, the people be damned. entatives of League of Nations orator from the West Indian Rep- ublic of Haiti." Mr. Alexander warns of the danger of international war which lurks in the scramble for "mandates" in Africa. "The diplomatic competition of the governments of Europe for control in Egypt, in Tunis, in Morocco, in Tripoli, may not have been the decisive cause of the war in 1914, but it was an important contributing factor. Unless the competition is stopped, another war must be expected. . . . All the necessary supervision of undeveloped peoples must be under real international supervision. The best administrators, not the strongest governments, should be appointed to positions of authority. . . . The competition for territory and power is not the only source of peril. Too long have white men regarded black men as chattails and persons to be bartered at will." SIXTEEN NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 17, 1926 . . NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY.

Call all week The case of the United States vs. Raymond Ogan and Hazel Bowler, involving the payment of compensation to them by the Veterans' Bureau, on the grounds that they were man and wife in common law marriage, has been closed with the ruling that there was no criminal assaults, the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice has just announced. The case was brought at Indianapolis, and the United States Attorney informed the Bureau of the disposition of the case. Information has been received at the Bureau of Investigation. Department of Justice, which had a part in the investigation of the subject, that the United States Attorney at Indianapolis, Ind., has closed the case of the United States Attorney Thomas Cawley. The case arose from the efforts of the Veterans' Bureau to prosecute these persons because they had been paid compensation as man and wife, whereas they were never married. On the investigation of the case the United States Attorney ruled that Hazel Bowler had lived with Ogan several years before she entered the army and continuously since he left the army, that this constituted a common law marriage and that there was no criminal intent in their applying for and receiving the compensation. Death Rate Higher This Year Than Last The weekly health index of the Department of Commerce, based on telegraphic returns from 86 cities with a total population of 23,000,000, discloses an annual death rate of 0.045 weeks of 1926, as compared with 12.8 for the corresponding weeks of 1925. The index for the week ending November 6 indicates a mortality rate of 11.8, as compared with 12.8 for the corresponding week last year. The highest rate for the week was 24.7. for Nashville, Tenn., and the lowest 6.2. for Schenectady, N. Y. The highest infant mortality rate appears for Somerville, Mass., and is 141. The lowest appears for Lynn, Mass., and San Diego, Calif., which had no infant mortality. AGED MAN APPLIES FOR STATE PENSION CINCINNATI — John Benjamin Smith, 92, and living in Covington, made application for a pension under the provisions of the old age pension law passed by the last Legislature. The aged man walked into the office of County Judge Read and conferred with Samuel Furste, the secretary to the judge. Smith said he was born in 1835. The application will be placed in the hands of an investigating committee. The law provides that not more than $250 a year can be applied to the pension and the applicant must not be an inmate of an institution and must show that he is not a property owner. Three women also filed their applications for relief under this pension law, which was sponsored by the Covington Aerde of Eagles. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Nov. 15. At a meeting of representative white and colored citizens held here last week steps were taken to set up a strong State interracial committee and to vitalize the interracial movement throughout the State. To that end an organization committee was created, consisting of ten members and headed by Mrs. Minnie U. Fuller, a well-known leader among the white women of Arkansas. On this committee Judge Scipio Jones, Dr. J. G. Ish and others will represent the colored group. PRIVATE TUTORING PROFESSIONAL All Subjects—Reasonable Prices Day and Evening Reduction for Classes R.

Wednesday, November 17, 1926 The World's Expose IN A SERIES OF ARTICLES appearing in the New York World, written by Oliver H. P. Garrett from Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, the Aiken lynchings have been exhumed from the grave to which they were consigned a month ago. At that time "the authorities" decided, as usual, that the murders were committed by "persons unknown." Thanks to The World, details surrounding the atrocities have been rehearsed and re-enacted for the benefit or detriment of the world. A FEW DAYS before the beginning of the Garrett series, The Amsterdam News presented the findings of Walter White, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in full, and the later articles verify all that Mr. White found, and more. WHILE the three South Carolina lynchings were being held up to the light, three others, equally as atrocious and equally as unprovoked, were being staged near Houston, Texas. Here, again, one of the victims was a woman. ALREADY the number of mob murders this year is thirty-one—thirty-one too many for a nation laying claim to being civilized and which, at the same time, sits idly by without attempting any official action that might tend to put an end to such a national disgrace. WHEN THE DYER Anti-Lynching Bill was before Congress, we recall that The World was one of the Northern newspapers which opposed its passage and its enactment into law. Therefore, we wonder why it has gone to the expense and trouble of exposing the conditions surrounding the Aiken lynchings, when every circumstance revealed by its own correspondent shows that the South is entirely lacking in that conscience which can be awakened to an evil that has already become part and parcel of it. HOW, we ask, can a Governor of a Southern State be reasonably expected to protect the rights of ALL citizens of that State when to do so would bring defeat in office as his reward? How can a sheriff live up to his oath of office and at the same time open the doors of the jail to a masked mob of men bent on murder? What action should a nation take to protect the lives of its citizens and uphold its Constitution when a decree of the highest tribunal of one of the States comprising it — the Supreme Court of that State — is flagrantly violated? A FEDERAL Anti-Lynching law may not put an end to lynching, but it would, undoubtedly, make Federal intervention possible when a State demonstrates that it is impotent to protect the lives of its citizens because its governmental machinery is in the hands of men in sympathy with mob rule. IF THE NEWSPAPERS of South Carolina—and the same condition prevails in most of the other States in the South EDITORIAL PAGE —frankly admit that they are unable to make this kind of expose The World has just made, how can the elected and appointed officials follow up that expose and take the action the circumstances demand. Newspapers are far more liberal in the South than their readers, and when they admit their helplessness to expose, at least, what they know to be wrong, there is no power in that State capable of righting that wrong. BY WHAT OTHER METHOD, we ask, would the New York World attempt to prevent lynching, other than by Federal action? EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES Tempting Federal Intervention (From the Columbus Evening Dispatch. Columbus. Ohio.) In spite of the strong editorial protest of the Charleston News and Courier and other influential papers of the section most concerned, the official authorities of South Carolina have taken no adequate steps towards securing the indictment and punishment of the lynchers who murdered three prisoners at Alken, in that State. Dozens three weeks ago. The News and Courier has insisted that a news should be offered for evidence leading to indictment auto conviction, nothing of the kind has been done. It begins to look as if responsible officers were simply waiting for the excitement to cool down, and had made up their minds to do nothing. What the result of such a policy will be is clearly indicated by another southern paper, the Louisville Courier-Journal: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will renew its efforts at the next session of Congress to put through the measure that was prevented from coming to a vote at the last only by threats of a dilibuster." The reference is to the anti-lynching bill, which has wide support entirely outside the Association which the Courier-Journal mentions. It is acknowledged by many who have supported this bill in the past that it constitutes a very marked encroachment on the powers of the States in matters of police jurisdiction—powers which it is admittedly desirable that the States should maintain to the fullest measure compatible with the preservation of public order. Certain classes of offenses are so largely of an interstate character that it is quite impossible for them to be controlled by separate State action, but lynching does not belong to this class. In every case that occurs it is a purely local affair, just such as State authority should be able to deal with. The trouble is not lack of power, but lack of will; and the States of the South, resist against Federal aggression in their local concerns, must develop the will to take hold of the crime of lynching with a very vigorous hand, if they would have the hand of the Federal Government withheld. The Dispatch has not favored the passage of the anti-lynching bill, believing that the States themselves should bring the offenders under control. Statistics of the past few years have indicated that this was coming about as rapidly as could reasonably be expected. If the decline in number of lynchings had been maintained through 1926, at the promising rate of the few preceding years, it is not likely that there would have been any strong movement to pass the anti-lynching bill at the coming short session, and certainly no such movement would have had any chance of success. The current year, however, has shown no decline in the number of lynchings, but an increase; and these three lynchings at aiken, with one in Tennessee on the same day, with no apparently sincere attempt to bring the mob leaders to justice, will give to the advocates of the anti-lynching bill such an influence in Congress as they have not had in any recent session. If the Governor of South Carolina and all others in responsible official position are wise, they will heed the advice of the best newspapers in their own State and other parts of the South and begin at once a vigorous and persistent effort to bring the Alken mob murders to justice. No sensible person will believe that it is impossible to get evidence, if a sincere and thorough effort is made. The South Carolina Lynching (From the New York Times.) The lynching of three colored persons near Alken, S. C. was peculiarly aroused, besides being a deep reproach to the State authorities because of the circumstances. After a fair hearing of their case on appeal to the State Supreme Court, the Judge directed the acquittal of one of the defendants and a new trial for the other two. The evidence against them was so weak that it was expected that they, too, would be freed by the jury. But before any further legal steps could be taken, a mob gathered and the prisoners were taken from jail and brutally murdered. The investigation of the outrage, which has been undertaken by the New York World and others, is bringing out fresh details, and information held before the Governor of South Carolina seems to be of a sort to identify some at least of the lynchers. On Monday Governor McLeod professed a strong determination to pursue an official inquiry of his own relentlessly, and to see that the guilty are punished if the evidence against them is conclusive. The stirring up of the affair has led at least to this result, and the final course of the State officials will be watched closely and with deep interest both inside and outside of South Carolina. The best citizens of that State must surely support every movement to put a proper ban upon this kind of criminal lawlessness. Lynch law has fewer and fewer defenders in the South. It sets up a kind of terrorism that has wide ramifications. In this particular case the investigations have encountered more than one reputable white citizen who had not dared to testify concerning his own knowledge of the perpetrators of the crime, but was thankful that steps had been taken even by outsiders. The whole matter and expose the guilty. Thus it may be hoped that the exorcism and indefensible an example of "unofficial execution" some-help may come to those who, both North and South, are working for the extirpation of this great evil, which is so fragrant a violation of all our national professions regarding the due administration of justice. Where Justice Is Not Blindfold (From the New York World.) FROM THE NEW YORK WORLD Our correspondent who is following up the Alken lynching case in South Carolina speaks of the unkind fate of old Sam Lowman, colored, who is "paying with one year of his life [in jail] for having had two tugs of corn wine buried behind his ramshackle Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn. are leaving immediately for, a five weeks' tour of Spain, and this was their only Paris concert. It wouldn't take many more concerts like tonight's to start a Parisian vogue for the plaid shirt and long-sleeved songs of the Nebo, for while there was a large number of Americans present, fully three-fourths of the hall was filled with French folk, all of whom were demonstrative in their appreciation. "'Deep River,' 'Wish I in Heaven' and 'I Want to Die Easy' were among the selections which brought forging and excitement back of 'Virginia' and 'Swinee River' had and happily familiar ring, even for the Forks. Lawson's Recital Before an audience of about three hundred persons, a dedicatory recital was "given at St. Mark's M. E. Church on Thursday evening, November 11. On the program were R. Augustus Lawson, painist; Mrs. Ida Napier-Lawson, soprano; C. Warner Lawson, accompanist, and John F. Williams, dramatic reader. Compositions by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, MacDowell, Cyrll Scott, Grainger and Mokskowski were played by Mr. Lawson. Among the numbers sung by Mrs. Lawson were Hayda's "With Verdure Clad" from "Creation" and Sross's "Will o' the Wisp." Mr. Williams used Jameselson Johnson's "The Creation" and "Hur Played on a Harp of a Thousand Strings" as his leading numbers. These artists were presented under the auspices of the Children's Friend Club. Mrs. Susan Payton Wortham was chairman of the recital committee. Julius Bledsoe will sing James Weldon Johnson's "Creation" at Town Hall on Saturday, November 27. This work was set to music by Louis Gruenberg. Paul Robeson was heard in a song recital Sunday evening, November 14, at the Comedy Theater. He plans to give two other recitals: one on Sunday evening, November 28: the other on WHAT OUR READERS HAVE TO SAY THEMSELVES I have been reading The Amsterdam News ever since my good friend and client, Mr. Edward A. Warren, first became interested in it, and I feel that I must write and tell you that in my opinion you are now getting out one of the best, if not the best, papers published by colored people. With your permission, I would like to give you a few impressions I gained from reading the current issue: I particularly enjoyed the article by Mr. Edgar M. Grey, entitled "The Sleeping Giant—the Harlem Negro," and of course, I enjoyed Prof. Kelly Miller's article on "The Chicago Negro." I think Mr. Grey is entitled to a great deal of credit for making the investigation he did, concerning the number of colored people who registered, and I agree fully with him it is a reflection on the race when, out of a population of nearly a quarter of a million, only twenty-two thousand people registered, and a smaller number voted. I have been off the "firing line" now for nearly twenty years, but when I lived in Jacksonville, Florida, where I was elected Alderman for three terms of two years each. I and my friends were always protesting because the colored people were not given equal voting rights in the majority of southern cities and I was often told by prominent white Democrats that Negroes were not interested in the ballot, and did not appreciate the importance of having the right to vote. Of course, I amgrly denied any such assertions, and at that time believed I was right; but if it is true that there are so many professional and colored business people in New York City who fail to register and exercise their right to vote, I am very much afraid the opinion expressed by the southern Democrats is true. I think it would be a good idea to have Mr. Grey publish the names of all the professional and business men in Harlem he knows who failed to register. Miller's article about Chicago was extremely interesting, and furnished me with facts about the race in Chicago that I never knew. As usual he correctly analyzed the situation, when he stated that Chicago colored people have faith and confidence in themselves. It is hard to get away from your early training, and though I am now a Uitarian by faith, I was born and reared a Methodist, and still have a great deal of faith and reliance in the old "Methodist faith." There is no reason why, in Harlem, colored people should not control politics in several districts, and I trust you will keep up the good work, hammering on this one policy for many years I have noticed and talked about the fact that such a large number of the candidates for offices at each election belong to house, while the white men who shot down his daughter, Berthar his son, Demon, and his nephew, Clarence, go not only free but until now unsought." This sort of false justice that peeps from behind her bandages and punishes not guilt but color has shamed the State long enough. Demon Lowman was not guilty of complicity in the killing of Sheriff Howard; Special Judge Lanham had ordered his acquittal. The fate of Bertha and Clarence Lowman still rested with a white jury when they were taken from the jail and shot to death in the pine woods, with 200 automobiles parked nearby. The Coroner's Jury, the Grand Jury, had both failed to name the murders, who are well known in the community. Nothing more would have been heard of the matter if The World had not compelled at least a show of action by invoking the power of publicity. The honor of South Carolina is deeply involved in this shocking case. A community that jails a black man for a year for possessing whiskey and is unconcerned when white lynchers murder three Negroes, properly arraigned in court and under its protection, needs attention from the State itself. A crime so revolting must not go unpunished if South Carolina is true to herself. MUSIC Florence Herbert's. Pupils in Recital Before an appreciative audience the artist pupils of Florence Herbert were presented in a piano recital at the Renaissance Casino, 138th street and Seventh avenue, Friday evening, November 12. Although the pupils in general displayed musical possibilities, special mention is given Miss Ethel Harris, who played the solo part of the andante movement of Mozart's Concerto in C Major, and Miss Alvena Holland, who played the solo part of the Allegro movement of the same composition. These ladies were accompanied on the second piano by Miss Herbert. Miss Bessie Gillard, whose three selections concluded the program, has a technique worthy of note. Other pupils who played were: Eleanor Brown. Myrtle Benjamin. Ruth Fagan. Lorainette Hardeman. Gladys Walton. Infrared. Aliella Laird. Lurline Harper. Onne Mason. Eva Freeport. Humphry Helen Welvin. Olga Mallaird. Laurette Gumba. Elain Bain. Elain Ill, Marjorie Walton. Gretta Gillard. Dorothy Jones. Edith Anderson. Charlotte Battle. Also Lillian Swanston, Bernice Wilson, Shellah Bain, Willie Booker, Natie Davis, Hermine Browne, Marie Belton. The proceeds from the recital will be used for a scholarship fund for pupils who show musical possibilities, but who are financially unable to pay for the course. Fisk Jubilee Singers Triumph in Paris PARIS, Nov. 10.—Before a distinguished audience which filled to the topmost gallery the Salle Gaveau, the Fisk Jubilee Singers scored a notable success tonight with an appealing program of spirituals, according to a copyright dispatch to the New York "Times."

ARMSTRONG ASS'N REGISTERS TRADESMEN PHILADELPHIA. — The Armstrong Association recently registered all colored persons who had been trained in certain trades and arts and who were unable to find employment: Among those registered were architects, automobile mechanics, structural line painters, shipping clarkes, electric welders, ladies' tailors, candy makers, art needle workers, and other craftsmen and craftswomen in arts and mechanics. The list is on file at the Association's office at 1430 Lombard street and is open for immediate inspection by seekers of highly skilled and technical Negro workers. COUNTEE CULLEN PLANS ANTHOLOGY And now comes Countee P. Cullen who plans to bring forth a newer anthology—one that shall be different and more select. Instead of the usual cataloging of poets on down the line from major to minor, Cullen will make a careful and graded selection, preserving in his volume those who has his permanent achievement. It will stand for years. Cullen, himself, has reached the highest standards held up for poets. "Caroling Dusk" is the title of this book, which will appear next fall. the Jewish race, and a smaller percentage to the Italian race. I feel positive that it would be impossible to run a ticket successfully in any section where the majority of the crowd had already paid and other colored people without having a large number of the members of that race on the ticket. When I was actively engaged in fighting for the race, I always contended that, first of all, a colored man must look at public questions from the standpoint of a colored man; that while he may be accused of selfishness, this attitude was forced upon him by the way he had been treated by other races; and I still think that this is true, and I am glad to see your paper take the same position. A South Carolinan Writes The World I have just read the policy of the New York World when established in the year 1883 by Joseph Pulitzer. Part of its Constitution says—"Never be afraid to attack wrong." I am certainly delighted that your special correspondent, Oliver H. P. Garrett, has been ordered to Alken, S. C., to investigate the horrible lynching of three Negroes who were in jail and helpless, under the protecting laws of South Carolina and the High Sheriff of Alken County. These South Carolina newspapers are hog-tied; they are afraid of their shadows. It is all politics with them. I have been fighting to get some of my articles in the papers, and only one small local newspaper had the courage and regard for fair play to give my article to a limited amount of readers. All the law-enforcing officials are apparently on the fence, riding safely on the side in power, from the Governor, McGloed, M. McGloed, to get anything of the mills. It will be necessary to get some outfitters to come in and start the ball rolling. South Carolina has been advertised in headlines large. The old State is not to be held account for such conditions; it is up to the good people to make the law officers either do their full duty, from the Governor and High Sheriff, or kick them out of office. The Negroes are obeying the laws in South Carolina nearly 50 per cent better than the whites. Just look at our jails and State Penitentiary and notice the white criminals far in the majority. I am a South Carolinian. My people have been in this old Palmetto State since the Colonial days. I am no newcomer from across the sea. I am directly descended from Lewis Morris of Morrisania. New York, and also Lewis Morris, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, former Morrisania Governor Constitution, so you plainly see that I naturally understand conditions in my native State, and this lynching at Alken was a shame against the State of South Carolina and every decent person. Keep the good work up; hit while the iron is hot, it matters not where the sparks fly. Expression of Thanks My dear Sir—Let me thank you for the very fine article published in your paper of last week, in which you told of the purchase by our church of the property at Grand avenue and Lefferts place as our future church home. This was widely read, and is helping materially in our drive for $150,000. It was a real factor in securing the first $25,000 of this last Sunday. Deeply appreciating your co-operation, I am, Yours very truly. (Signed) H. H. PROCTOR. Pastor Nazarene Congregational Church. Brooklyn, N. Y. November 15, 1926 1440 Broadway. New York City.

MY SPIRIT is a pestilential city. With misery triumphant everywhere. Clutted with baffled hopes and lost to pity; Strange agonies make quiet lodgment there. Its bursting sewers ooze up from below.

Its life is sealed to love or hope or pity: My spirit is a pestilential city. Above its walls the air is heavy-wet. Brooding in fever mood and hanging thick Round empty tower and broken minaret, Settling upon the tree-tops stricken sick And withered in its hot contagious breath: Their leaves are shrivelled silver, parched decay, Lik wilting creepers trailing underneath The chalky yellow of a tropic way. Round crumbling tower and leaning minaret. The air hangs fever-filled and heavy-wet. And all its many fountains no more spurt; Within the dammed-up tubes they tide and foam Around the drifting sludge and silted dirt. And weep against the soft and liquid loam, And so the city's ways are washed no more; All is neglected and decayed within. Clean waters beat against its high-walled shore. In furious force, but cannot enter in. The suffocated fountains cannot spurt: They foam and weep against the silted dirt. Beneath the ebon gloom of mounting rocks The little pools lie poisonously still. And birds come to the edge in forlorn flocks. And utter sudden plaintive notes and shrill, Pecking at fatty grey-green substances; But never do they dip their bills and drink. They twitter sad, beneath the mournful trees. And fretfully flit to and from the brink. In little dull brown, green-and-purple flocks. Beneath the jet-gloom of the mounting rocks.

Above it float a host of yellow flies. Circling in changeless motion in their place. Snow-thick and mucid in the drooping skies. Swarming across the glassy floor of space. Oh cold as death is all the loveliness And sickening like a skeleton's caress. There was a time when, happy with the birds, The little children clapped their hands and laughed; And midst the clouds the glad winds heard their words, And blew down all the merry ways to waft Their music to the scented fields and flowers. Oh sweet were children's voices in those days. Before the fall of pestilential showers, That drove them forth from all the city's ways. Now never, never more their silver words Will mingle with the golden of the birds. Gone, gone forever the familiar forms To which my spirit once so dearly clung. Blown worlds beyond by the destroying storms. And lost away like lovely songs unsung. Yet life still lingers, questioningly strange. Timid and quivering, naked and alone. Biding the cycle of disruptive change. Though all the fond familiar forms are gone. Forever gone, the fond familiar forms. Blown worlds beyond by the destroying storms. —In the Caribbean Number of Opportunity. Know New York State The Empire State. in New York City and Buffalo. has two of the ten chief ports of the world.
