JURY FINDS BOTH GARVEYS GUILTY OF MISCONDUCT CHRISTMAS OUTLOOK NOT SO GOOD FOR MAN HELD DIVORCE TRIAL CRAMMED FULL OF DRAMA; "SPICY" LETTER TO HARRISON READ Colorful News "Movies" By THE CAMERAMAN PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Negro Labor Unions ACCORDING to estimates of officials of organized labor, there are, in the United States, approximately 165 local unions, representing 6,000 Negro workmen, which are directly affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. These figures do not include musicians and other organized theatrical workers, who are largely employed in theatres which cater principally to Negro ptoronage. A glimpse of the content of these 165 local unions is enlightening, and their geographical location shows that there is a deal of work to be done in the matter of organizing Negro labor. Transportation hands of varied descriptions, such as coach and car cleaners, freight handlers, shipyard workers, train porters, mechanics' helpers, station porters, platform men, and mail and baggage handlers, comprise the bulk of the 6,000 organized laborers. Winston-Salem, N. C., boasts of a hairdressers' union, in good and active standing with the A. F. of L. The unions are located, principally, in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Delaware, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. In some cases only seven members comprise the total membership of a local; while the coach cleaners of St. Louis, Mo., and the baggage handlers of Philadelphia, Pa., and Washington, D. C., with a total membership each of 250, bear off the palms for numerical strength. In the onward march of organized labor the time is overripe for real live representation in the par-tour body. Where are the iron and steel workers, the automobile hands, the building construction men etc.? Is hairdressing more important, and are the artisans of real labor to play second fiddle to domestic workers and dispensers of blues' melodies? We think might not to be. We advocate, organization, regardless of color and regardless of the type of union. Let the A. F. of L. open its doors—and its windows, too—and let there be union first, and petty personalities and jealousy last, if at all. Where Negro labor cannot gain ready admission to the local union, let it create another local, clothed with all official authority of any union in the land, and recognizable, both in council and out of council. That's real organization, we think. "You First" Row Proves Fatal "You First" Row Proves Fatal The politeness of William Jones, 28, and Fred Green, 35, ended in the death of Jones early Monday after both had insisted that the other be the first to take a drink. Green was locked up when he confessed that he had stabbed Jones, a laborer, who came here a few days ago from Georgia, according to the police. The two left their room on the fourth floor of a hotel at 232 East Twenty-third street Monday night and bought a few hoots a few blocks away. They returned soon, mixed the stuff and chatted in a friendly way. "You first," said Jones. You first, said Jones. "No, you do the honors," replied Green. Suddenly guests in the hotel were aroused by loud cries and the hud of rolling bodies. They rushed to the fourth floor room. As they gathered before the door there was a quick bush. Suddenly there came a groan and a noan. The guests entered. On the floor was Jones writhing in pain. A knife was on the floor. The manager called an ambulance and Jones was taken to-Bellevue. there he died an hour later.

Robinson was arrested on a charge of attempted grand larceny and was arraigned in Heights Court Monday morning. According to the testimony, the check was signed by "F. Wise," who is alleged to have had an account at the said bank. When the youth presented the check at the teller's window it was immediately recognized as being forged, and, due to the usual custom employed by the bank in such cases, Robinson was held and turned over to the police. While on the stand the boy made rather a pathetic witness. He is a victim of stammering and spoke with great difficulty. He stated that, while engaged in a little game in a poolroom, he bear a well dressed man known as "Slim" out of $5. "Slim" is said to have had no cash and gave the check to Robinson and told him to take a taxi to the bank and have it cashed. In the meantime, Robinson stated that "Slim" told him to take the five dollars and taxi fare out of the $150 and return the change. Robinson was held in $2,500 bill for the Grand Jury. Hit With Hatchet; Man Near Death Hit With Hatchet; Man Near Death Having been dangerously chopped about the head and back with a hatchet during an altercation with Riley Jerome Williams, 20, 46 West 140th street, Saturday night, William Clark, 22, 42 West 132d street, is said to be near the point of death. According to reports, the men engaged in an argument at 8:45 p. m. Saturday in an apartment at 42 West 132d street. During the course of the encounter Williams is said to have seized a hatchet and badly mutilated Clark. Screams of women occupants of the apartment could be heard throughout the building. Someone summoned an ambulance and Clark was removed to Harlem Hospital, where he was treated by Dr. Young for multiple lacerations of the scalp, face and back. He was in a horrible condition. Williams was arrested and, when arraigned in the Heights Court before Magistrate Well, he was held in $2,500 bail for examination on December 17.

At the time of this finding, it is said that an altercation took place and Ashley struck Harry on the nose with a bottle. Ashley was arrested on the bottle wielding charge and fined $5.

He went to his wife's home for this article Saturday and is alleged to have found his wife in bed with Ashley, who is a lodger there. A fight is said to have taken, place and Ashley tapped Harry on the nose with a bottle. However, when a Mrs. Jordan, also a lodger in the 143d Street apartment, took the stand in Ashley's defense, she revealed that during the altercation Douglas stabbed Ashley with a knife in the left arm. She claimed on this occasion Douglas was a madman; he beat his wife, tore a door from its hinges, struck Mrs. Garnet and threatened to kill everybody in the apartment. Her testimony was not heavy enough to prevent the magistrate from fining Ashley. Fire Follows K. K. K. Threat on J. M.

THE NEW YORK Mary Mrs. Mayme Worsham-Seabrooke, Former Columbia Student, Dies According to a telegram received Monday by Mrs. Louise Jackson-Johnson, 103 West 141st street, Mrs. Mayne Worsham-Seabrooke, who is known here, died at her home in Fayetteville, N. C., Sunday. She was the wife of J. W. Seabrooke, principal of a normal school there. Mrs. Seabrooke, who received her master's degree from Columbia University in June, 1925, was a member of Tau Omega Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, and the Intercollegiate Association of this city.

Beware of Blind Men in Poker Game LYNCHBURG, Va., Dec. 13.—Robert Cook, who is blind, was arrested with five others in a raid on a poker game here last week and to Judge Whitaker he proudly admitted playing cards. The puzzled judge handed Cook a card from the seized deck. "Queen-of Club," said Cook promptly, and the courtroom gasped. A half dozen other cards he rapidly named. Then he explained he had marked them with pin pricks. But he did not reveal his code. The judge did not fine him. Beware of Blind Men in Poker Game LYNCHBURG, Vn. Dec. 13.—Robert Cook, who is blind, was arrested with five others in a raid on a poker game here last week and to Judge Whitaker he proudly admitted playing cards.

Calvary Church, Advised Rev. Watkins to Withhold Ceremony Little 11-months-old Julia M. Flood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Flood, 144 West 141st street, was denied christening Sunday morning in the Mt. Calvary M. E. Church at 140th street and Edgecombe avenue, according to the child's father. The Rev. Mr. Watkins, the acting minister in the absence of the pastor, the Rev. J. N. C. Coggins, was to perform the service. The three godparents, Mrs. Muriel Walker, Mrs. Florence Key and Albert Robinson, together with a number of friends were present, but according to the statement of Mr. Flood, the Rev. Mr. Watkins was advised by the regular pastor's wife. Mrs. Coggins, not to christen the child. The disappointment and humiliation caused Mrs. Flood to break down. However, on Monday night she was up and out. The Floods have been victims of several misfortunes since the child's birth. While the mother was still in the hospital after its birth her home was robbed of everything she had. The shock of this is believed to have been the cause of the prolonged illness which confined Mrs. Flood to the bed from January to October. Sunday the innocent child—not yet a year old—was refused christening. This incident, friends say, caused her to break down again. An offer to Mrs. Flood Sunday afternoon by the Rev. Mr. Watkins to baptize Julia next Sunday was refused. The Floods are not members of Mr. Calvary Church and this may have been the reason why the christening did not take place. They were invited there by Sexton Keys of the church. Keys is superintendent of the 141st street house, where Mr. and Mrs. Flood live. Woman Given Maximum Sentence for Intoxication Mrs. Adel Andrews, 25, 213 W. 142d street, was sentenced to six months in the Workhouse Saturday after she had been found guilty of public intoxication. Magistrate Norris, in Heights Court, imposed the maximum sentence allowed in such cases because the fingerprint record showed that Mrs. Andrews had been convicted three times previously for the same offense and twice on disorderly conduct. 20 PAGES FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE Complete in 3 Sections Writing of the Book "Rise and Fall of Marcus Garvey" —Authorship in Question Amy Ashwood Garvey and Marcus Mosiah Garvey. President-General of the U.N.I.A., potentate-elect of Africa, and now serving a term in the Federal Prison at Atlanta. Ga., were both found guilty of adultery after a three-day trial last week before a jury in Trial Term, Part IV, of the Supreme Court, New York County. Two questions were submitted to the jury for their consideration. They were, in substance: Did Marcus Garvey at divers times after August, 1922, commit adultery at 133 West, 190th street with a woman known as Amy Jacques? Did Amy Ashwood Garvey commit adultery with a man known as Joseph Frazer on April 8, 1926, at 666 St. Nicholas avenue? Both questions were answered in the affirmative. The action was started in 1922 by Amy Ashwood Garvey, when she sued Marcus for absolute divorce alleging his adultery with Amy Jacques; the original defense to the action was an absolute divorce secured by Marcus Garvey in the State of Missouri in 1922. After a period of inaction and while Garvey was in the Atlanta Prison, his attorneys, Kohn & Nagler, during the month of March, 1926, hired private detectives to learn something of the plaintiff's habits. On April 8 of this year a raid was made on the apartment occupied by Mrs. Garvey, at 666 St. Nicholas avenue. asserted that it was in this room that the party entering the apartment that morning found the man and dragged him into the bedroom, throwing him on the bed. DID NOT WRITE ENTIRE BOOK. Under cross examination Mrs. (Continued on Page 2.) INACCURACIES AND CORRECTIONS Walter Ferguson Based on alleged facts thus obtained, the court allowed Garvey to put in a counter claim, in which he also sought a divorce from Mrs. Garvey. Oscar Garrett, 2303 Seventh avenue, attorney for Mrs. Garvey, easily proved by the testimony of Clifford S. Bourne, 174 West 137th street, accountant and formerly general chancellor of the U. N. I. A. and Mrs. Alexdrena O'Mealy, 145 West 127th street, that Garvey lived with Amy Jacques at 123 West 129th street, and held her out as his wie. Orca O'Menly, who once lived in the Garvey apartment as a roomer, testified that she had on innumerable occasions seen Miss Jacques and Mr. Garvey retire at night and come out of the same room in the morning. Mr. Kohn, attorney for Garvey, at this stage of the proceedings by falling to set the Missouri divorce and the alleged subsequent marriage of Miss Jacques and the defendant in the State of Maryland, tacitly admitted that the relationship, if the jury believed the witnesses produced in behalf of the plaintiff, was adulterous. TRIAL FULL OF DRAMA. The question as to whether Army Ashwood Garvey had committed adultery on April 8 of this year with Joseph Frazer was full of drama and excitement. Mrs. Garvey contended that on the night of the raid she was suffering from some illness peculiar to women and which would make the act of whence she was accused repulsive and against nature. She claimed, however, that all of the evening she was in bed discussing different phases of "The Rise and Fall of Marcus Garvey," a book which she claims to be writing concerning her husband, the defendant. The discussion hovered around the moral effect of the second chapter in the book. The chapter was called the "Romantic Foreshadowings of Marcus Garvey." They worked, she said, until 2:50 a.m., when she invited both me to spend the night in order that she might have assistance at hand if during the night her fears were realized and she needed a doctor. Mr. Cox described the invitation but Mr. Frazer accepted and pressed on a divan in the sitting room. She and the correspondent Fraze asserted that it was in this room that the party entering the apartment that morning found the man and dragged him into the bedroom, throwing him on the bed.

INACCURACIES AND CORRECTIONS Walter Ferguson Acquitted of Charge Contrary to a report published last week in The Amsterdam News, Walter Ferguson, of 62 West 118th street, was acquitted of felonious assault in General Sessions. The report erroneously stated that he was convicted, and the publishers and the editor take this method of correcting the impression gained from reading the original report. Thus it is hoped that this correction voluntarily made by The Amsterdam News, will be read by the friends and acquaintances of Mr. Ferguson, and for that reason it is being given a more prominent position in the paper than the former report. Mr. Ferguson was represented by Attorney O'Leary, of the law firm of Dume & Stiles, with offices at 165 Broadway. TESTIMONIAL UNDER • CITIZENS' COMMITTEE The testimonial to Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune of Daytona, Fla. November 15, Inst. at the Thir- tenth Avenue Presbyterian Church, Newark, was under the auspices of the Citizens' Commit- tee, the names of whose officers follow: Mrs. Mary E. Burrell, chairman; Mrs. U. M. Janiper, se- cretary; Miss S. J. Adams, treas- urer, and Mrs. Grace Fenderson, chairman of the reception, com- mittee. A report published soon after the chair stated it was held under the auspices of Women's Federa- tion. "SPICY" Love Missive in Possession of Hubert Harrison Causes Stir (Continued from Page 1.) Garvey was forced to admit that she did not write the entire book, but had outside assistance. She could not tell the meaning of certain words and phrases, nor could she recall the source of certain familiar poetic quotations contained in the book. On redirect examination Attorney Garrett brought out that what Mrs. Garvey meant by writing the book was that she furnished data to a person hired by the week to put this into final shape. She maintained, however, that she herself wrote the entire chapter on the "Romantic Foreshadowings of Marcus Garvey." In order to show that Mrs. Garvey did not write any part of the book and that Frazer had therefore no motive, as far as the book was concerned, to be in the apartment on the night in question, Dr. Hubert H. Harrison, $70 Lenox avenue was put on the stand on Thursday morning. He referred to himself as Mrs. Garvey's "literary ghost," defining the term as one who writes a book and submerges the true author's identity and allows another party to appear as the author. Mr. Harrison testified that only five chapters, of the book had been completed and these were all done by him, including the second chapter. He maintained that he was hired at the rate of $20 per week of three evenings. DAMAGING MISSIVE. Dr. Harrison was a self-assured witness, suave and extremely literary in his answers. He was certain that he had not been paid to testify in the case, that he had never been approached in the master and had never been offered money to testify, but that on the contrary he was unaware of being called in as a witness until a few days before, when he was served with a subpoena from the court. The doctor's discomfiture came when on cross examination a letter which he sent to Mrs. Garvey, undated, insigned, but in a handwriting which he was forced to admit was his own, was put in evidence showing that a man and a lawyer had offered him $100 to testify at the trial. Appreciating that the letter had disturbed the weight of his testimony. Dr. Harrison reached into his brief case and handed a batch of letters to Attorney Kohn, who on redirect examination offered one of them into evidence. Justice Hatting ruled it was admissible over the objection and exception of Mr. Garrett. This last letter was written by Mrs. Garvey to the witness under date of Feb. 24, 1925. The letter in part read: I did not reply to your missive ere this, as I wanted. You are a wonderful man and I could die in your arms. You are so fascinating and tender. I am going to remain in America for one year, if I may, and I know it is going to be a blissful, happy, mental communion of souls—maybe I have it, but perfect—the combining of one nature with tender impression, the meeting of their lips and then—then the elimax. Oh, the ecstasy of it is truly an art. Dear, as soon as I can, I am going to fix up a love nest. I am short of funds right now and must wait some development, but if I can get a loan of $200 for say, ninety days, we would soon begin to live. I know what you want dear, a nice environment. Your ten fingers and brain are worth millions. Between us, we could move the colored world. All we need is a start; if hard work and pluck has anything do with success, we are going to succeed. I know how you stand financially, don't think I have ever cared about that. I love you for yourself. we need is a start; if hard work and pluck has anything do with success, we are going to succeed. I know how you stand financially, don't think I have ever cared about that. I love you for yourself. Your love. ADE." At the close of the defendant's case each attorney was allowed one-half hour to sum up the evidence and the case went to the jury at 4:25 Thursday afternoon. OTHER WITNESSES. The witnesses to prove the adultery of the plaintiff were her old G. Saltus, 111 W. 143rd street, reporter of the Negro World, official organ of the U. N. L.

FRIEDER THE GENTLE DENTIST 420 LENOX AVENUE GOR. 131ST STREET My dearest: raid though he claimed that it was as a representative of the press that he went along; Mr. and Mrs. Edward O'Garo, 172 W. 135th street, Mrs. O'Garo going because her husband could not give a good account of where he was going at 2:30 in the morning; Henry Morales, 44 W. 136th street; Marcellus Strong, 228 W. 142nd street, all of whom were shown to have an interest in the outcome of the action by virtue of being ardent followers of Mr. Garvey. Herbert S. Boulin, the private detective hired by Attorney Kohn, took the stand as a rebuttal witness to testify that none of the persons accompanying him on the raid were operatives paid by him. The special finding of the jury that both parties were guilty of adultery technically does not settle the case. Matrimonial actions are triable in equity before a judge without a jury but that either party may request a trial by jury. The request was made in this case and the issues framed for the jury to answer according to its better on the evidence produced. Now that the jury has found them both guilty by an affirmative answer to the questions submitted to it, the case is sent back to the Equity side or Special Term, where the Court will pass on the right of either party to a divorce. By consent the attorneys for all parties adjourned the Equity case which was on the calendar for Monday. It is probable that the action will be discontinued in order to avoid the embarrassment of having the Court refuse relief to either side. Mrs. Garvey is at present traveling with a musical show called "Hey, Hey," of which she is the author and producer and which had its opening at the Lafayette Theatre during the month of November. VICTORY? Victory, if there is such a thing in the case, has been scored by Garvey, in that by the jury's verdict Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, wife No. 2, is still the legal wife of Garvey until the Court sets aside his Missouri divorce. Jury Acquits Man Accused of Theft Physician and Other Witnesses Prove Defendant Was Home Ill Melvin Smith, alias Frank Smith, 120 West 142nd street, was acquitted by a jury in Part I, Court of General Sessions, before Judge Allen, of a charge of robbery in the first degree on Monday. It was alleged that Smith and Henry Coleman held up and robbed George Mosasanta at 3 West 137th street on September 11, 1926, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Coleman, who upon indictment for the crime was allowed to plead guilty to a lesser crime and sentenced to fifteen years in prison, was the chief witness on behalf of the State. He claimed that Smith was his accomplice. Smith who was first arrested October 18, 1926, because he resembled the man sought for the crime, was released by the police for lack of identification, and later rearrested, maintained that he never saw Coleman before the day of trial. A. S. Rosenthal attorney for the defendant, proved by Dr. H. O.

Carey, has obtained a divorce against his wife, Ethel, naming Roy Henry as correspondent. Mr. Holder alleged that under the directions of the Boulin's National Detective Agency he paid an early morning visit and surprised his wife in company with Henry at 304 West 120th street. The case was tried before Supreme Court Justice Glennon. The court gave Mr. Holder custody of his nine-year-old boy. The couple were married about twelve years ago in this city. Love Triumphs; Woman Released Took Responsibility for Revolver Found in Her Possession "Because I love him," was the answer given by Juanita Crossling, 18 West 128th street. Indicted for having a revolver in her possession without a license after being previously convicted of a felony, when she was asked by Assistant District Attorney Garrity why she said: "It is not my gun, but I will take the blame." Her previous convictions were petit larceny and violation of the tenement house law. According to her testimony, she had lived with Edward Harrison for three or four years, but fell out with him on November 7. She then went to live with William Cules, a friend of Harrison, at 48 West 128th street. She claimed that Harrison insisted on her returning to him and, being thwarted in the desire, planned her arrest on November 29. Oscar Ganett, attorney for the defendant, after both sides had rested, moved to dismiss the indictment for lack of sufficient proof by the State. Judge Mancuso, in Part VI of General Sessions, where the case was on trial, granted the motion, and Juanita, free, walked out of court with her lover, William Coles, on Friday. Brothers in Fracas Over Newark Belle Susana Mitchell. 18. 36 Jones street, and Belle Williams 17. 23 Nesbit street, did not find safety in numbers at a party which took place at 263 Orange street on last Saturday night. Nor did brotherly love protect William Gray of 187 Prince street from harm, for he reported to the police that his brother, Charles, had cut his head so severely that six stitches were necessary. The row started over the heart of Susanna. The two brothers claimed the affections of the one girl and the police had to be called to quell the near-riot. Miss Belle Williams, who told the police that she was a friend of Gray, received a slight cut on her left arm, necessitating four stitches being taken at the City Hospital. All four were dismissed by the police of the Fourth precinct when they refused to make complaints against each other. William Miller, 149 Baldwin street, received, a severe scalp wound in a fractas at 264 Prince street. Later he swore out a warrant against Andrew Boyd. 264 Prince street, at the Fourth precinct police station. Here Is Your Christmas Gift From the "Michigan" Stores!

Atta, speaking English fluently, was about to convince the jury that he entered the Italian's apartment by a window in order to escape a heating at the hands of other Hindus who lived in the same house, when he stumbled by denying the previous conviction and claiming that he was only seven weeks back in America since 1920. Court was adjourned in order that the police officer who arrested him in 1925 when he gave the name of All George, two fingerprint experts from Police Headquarters, and the judge who sentenced him on the previous charge could come into the courtroom to identify him. On the following morning the case was resumed and the identification completed by two officials from the State prison. With this iron-clad identification made out, the defendant decided to plead to attempted burglary in the third degree. He will be sentenced later this week. EX-JUDGE FOUND DEAD.

BILLPROVIDES PERMANENT GOVERNMENT FOR VIRGIN ISLANDERS Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut Would Confer Citizenship on Natives—Governor to Be Appointed By LOUIS R. LAUTIER WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec. 15. — Senator Hiram Bingham. Republican, of Connecticut, introduced a bill in the Senate last Tuesday providing a permanent government for the Virgin Islands. It was referred to the Committee on Territories and Insular Possessions. The bill introduced by Senator Bingham is in substance like the measure introduced by Representative Edgar-R. Kiess, Republican, of Pennsylvania, which was favorably reported to the House by the Committee on Insular Affairs on March 25 last. The Bligham bill would confer citizenship upon the inhabitants of the Virgin Islands who did not declare allegiance to the Danish Government, prior to January 17, 1917. It also contains a bill of rights similar to that in the Constitution of the United States. The contracting of polygamous or plural marriages is prohibited. The supreme executive power would be lodged in a governor, who may be an officer of the army or navy. He would be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. He would serve at the pleasure of the President and would have general supervision and control of the government of the Virgin Islands. If the President should appoint an army or navy officer, he would assume and exercise exclusive civil authority over the islands. The governor would appoint a government attorney for Saint Thomas and Saint John, and another for Saint Cross. The salary of the governor, if a civilian, would be $7,000 a year. The President would appoint also by and with the advice and consent of the Senate a government secretary of the Virgin Islands and an auditor. The governor would be empowered to appoint for a term of two years a treasurer, a director of education, a director of agriculture, commerce, labor and public welfare, a director of public works, a director of health and sanitation and two dispatching secretaries. The salary of each of these officers would be $4,000 a year except the dispatching secretary of Saint John, who would receive $2,500 a year. The government secretary and the auditor would receive $5,000 a year each. The local legislative powers would be vested in a council, the members of which would be appointed by the governor or elected by the qualified voters. There would be one council for the municipality of Saint Thomas and Saint John and one for the municipality of Saint Croix. To be a member of either council it would NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. DEC. 15. 1926 A SQUARE DEAL FOR THE NEGRO! New York is face to face with a PROBLEM. A whole great city of colored people has sprung up in its midst. The culture of this negro city is of high type. It has eminent artists and artisans, astute business men and educators. The fame of this city is becoming worldwide. It is HARLEM, THE PARIS OF THE COLORED RACE. What Is Harlem's Place In the Life of New York? Are the Nordics and other whites giving the negro opportunity to live, to develop, to help make America? To plumb this situation, The GRAPHIC has had a careful investigation conducted. In a startling series of articles it now presents BOTH SIDES of this question of VITAL IMPORTANCE. These articles reveal the role the negro race will play in the future of our nation and of the world. They are SENSATIONAL ARTICLES. They will open the eyes of unthinking persons. They analyze a tremendous subject with brilliance and with fearless forcefulness. From the GHASTLY HORRORS OF LYNCHINGS TO THE SUBLIME HEIGHTS OF POETIC AND ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT THE STORY OF THE NEGRO WILL BE TOLD. Names famous in American negro lore will be presented—Booker T. Washington, Millionaire Philip A. Payten, Ernest Culbertson of "Goat Alley" fame, Roland Hayes; the negro in home, art, the professions and industry. For the First Time, the Whole Truth About the Negro of Today! be necessary to be a citizen of the United States, over 25 years of age and a qualified voter of the municipality, having resided in the municipality for not less than two years. The first election would occur in 1927. The jurisdiction of courts and their various officers would continue as now until otherwise provided. Appeals from the police courts would be to the District Court of the Virgin Islands. Other appeals would go to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and the Supreme Court of the United States. The Virgin Islands were purchased in 1917 from Denmark for $25,000. Congress at the time continued the old Danish laws in force. In 1924 a commission consisting of George H. Woodson of Des Moines, Ia., Cornelius R. Richardson of Richmond, Ind., Charles E. Mitchell of Institute, W. Va., Jefferson S. Coage of Wilmington, Dala, and W. H. C. Brown of Newport News, Va., was sent to the Virgin Islands to study industrial and economic conditions there. This commission submitted its report to Secretary of Labor James J. Davis. Although the Kiess bill was favorably reported by the House Committee on Insurar Affairs, Congress has failed to provide a permanent form of government for the Virgin Islands. Threatened Woman With Long Knife Charge Grew Out of Dispute Over Leak in Apartment Charged with attempting to stab Mrs. Dorothy Sheppard, 119 West 137th street, with a long knife Saturday, caused Cecil Woodruff of the same address to be held without ball for the Grand Jury when arraigned in the Heights Court Monday morning. Woodruff, who is the janitor's assistant at the above address, stated in his testimony that the tenant beneath Mrs. Sheppard complained of a water leak in the Sheppard apartment which had ruined, the said tenant's ceiling. A plumber was summoned to repair the leak and Woodruff escorted him to the Sheppard apartment to point out the leaking pipe. Mrs. Sheppard is alleged to have refused to admit Woodruff, claiming she did not know him. An altercation is said to have taken place and, when she attempted to elect him, Cecil drew a long knife and attempted to cut her. She called a policeman and had him arrested. Paul Robeson, noted negro actor, in "Emperor Jones" Pregnant Wife Bitter Against Cruel Spouse With his wife, Ada, about to become a mother, Harry Wynn, 26, 250 West 127th street, is said to have repeatedly beat her. However, Mrs. Wynn had her husband arrested and in the Heights Court Monday morning he was sentenced to 10 days in the workhouse. When the sentence was passed Mrs. Wynn showed evidence of being very much disappointed. She pleaded with the Court to be more severe, due to the fact that her husband would only return and repeat his brutalities. She stated that she did not care if he was put away for life, as he was no good to her anyway, and that she did not receive nor want his support.

WAIVES EXAMINATION HELD FOR GRAND JURY Arraligned before Magistrate Norris in Heights Court Saturday charged with grand larceny, James Barnette, 29, 772 St. Nicholas avenue, waived examination and was held without ball for the Grand Jury. Milton Melvin, 145 W. 118th street, was the complainant. He alleged that he entrusted $500 to Barnette with the understanding that he was to purchase a five-ton truck for the purpose of starting the operation of a trucking company. Melvin charged that Barnette converted the $500 to his own personal use. Acting on the complaint of Melvin, Detective Connors of the West 135th street station arrested Barnette early Saturday morning at 154th street and Eighth avenue.

Numerous times he and his friends have gathered their feet beneath an elaborately decorated festive board and partook of the luscious Christmas dinners prepared by Mrs. Walker, his wife. However, this Christmas will be rather a sad one for Joseph. Perhaps his friends who shared his past merriments will be "wondering what became of Joe." He began serving a 20-day sentence in the workhouse Monday for beating Mrs. Walker with his fists. The case came up in the Heights Court Monday before Magistrato Well, who sentenced Walker.

As a result of requests, the group sang on Tuesday afternoon, December 7, at the home of Mrs. William Fellowes Morgan, Old Park avenue, at the meeting of Mrs. Morgan's College Club. The second floor of the building has been changed considerably and the convenience of the education department decidedly increased thereby. Space formerly used for a pantry has been utilized for an additional small clubroom and a special room has been equipped with tables and drop lights for the trade classes such as flower and lampshade making, millinery, etc. The office of the director, Mrs. Emma Shields, Penn, has been moved nearer the stairs in a place more accessible to the public. The girl reserve department has been undergoing a refinishing alco and is very gay with its yellow and blue painted furniture and soft cream walls. Girl reserves are preparing for Christmas.

ORGANIZED LABOR AIDS COLORED GIRLS CHICAGO, Ill.—The Federation of Labor and affiliated locals are adding colored girls in their strike against the Maras Date and Fig Factory. The girls have been organized and are appealing for public support. In their appeal they state that the piecework system permits a wage of only $2 to $14 a week, and that conditions are humiliating. "We are fighting for decent standards." the girls say. "Will you kindly advise colored women and girls not to take our places in this stink house, but help us win the fight which will lend new hope to the colored workers to form their own unions and maintain their self-respect." 10 NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 15, 1926 Household Hints When buying a stair carpet it is wise to buy an extra yard. In laying the carpet, fold the surplus length in at either end. When the carpet begins to wear, push it up on the stairs. By employing this method the carpet will wear much longer. Gas jets should be lighted very slowly at first in winter weather and then turned up gradually, so that the glass is warmed by degrees and not suddenly. Stockings, especially silk ones, should be rinsed in water of the same temperature as that in which they were washed. Colored Women Own Factory in Philadelphia WASHINGTON, D. C.-Giving congenial employment to a number of our women and girls, and supplying some of the largest Philadelphia merchants with women's and children's wearing apparel made in a modernly equipped factory, is the very unusual achievement of Mrs. Evelyn C. Gardiner, a progressive and energetic Negro woman of Philadelphia. About six years ago, according to the Philadelphia Tribune, Mrs. Gardiner called together several of her friends and formed a little club —not a whist or five hundred club —but: rather, a club that would create and produce, one that would give employment to the females of her group. This little club later became known as the Gardiner- Williams Manufacturing Company, a growing concern which gives employment to an expert cutter, a designer, six machine operators, an office manager, and a competen- tial sales force. Recently the building occupied by the company proved inadequate and a more suit- able structure was procured on the corner of Twenty-third and Lom- hard streets. Philadelphia It is the hope of Mrs. Gardiner and her associates that some day sooner or later there shall be erected somewhere in this broad land a factory Negro owned, to manufacture standard wearing apparel for women and children. This would be possible if the Negro proprietors of the 1,150 dry goods, fancy goods, notions and general stores throughout the country would get behind this group of braining Philadelphia women and help them to make their dream come true.

This is the concluding paragraph of an article called "The Soul of the Negro," by Florence Mills, the celebrated comedienne, in the London Chronicle. The article, a long one, tells of her existing race consciousness, her struggle against adversity and prejudice, and her apparent success. Whether Florence Mills wrote the article, or whether the article was merely signed by Florence Mills, matters not. It is a story lived by every ambitions Negro. In it is a certain delicacy of thought and feeling that tends to justify the Negro's being in the world. "He," states the article, "wants so badly to belong—and as yet there is no place for him." The "He" referred to is the Negro. Possibly the NEW NEGRO! There is a place for him in the scale of human progress.

Sara Washington As most women know, the dryness and dampness of the atmosphere affect the curviness of the hair, since hair is very sensitive to moisture. This is especially noticeable during the summer months, when the hair becomes more or less murky, due to perspiration. Hair is more, in fact, much more elastic than is usually realized. A hair can be stretched one-fifth of its length. It can support two to five ounces of weight without breaking. That the friction between the comb and the hair produces static electricity is well known. The static gives off the crackling sound so often heard, especially this time of the year. Various styles of hairdressing often seem highly artificial, but there is evidence that they were originally influenced by the natural tendencies of the hair to grow in certain directions in certain places. There is a natural parting of the hair of the head. A part on the left side is found most commonly; one in the middle comes next; least common is a part on the right side. While it has not been any hairdresser's inspiration to start a vogue for parting eyebrows, the hair of the left eyebrow does show a strong tendency to part, as does the hair of the left scalp.

One can of pineapple, one cup of sugar, one-half cup of coconut juice, one-third cup of water Boil the sugar and water together for five minutes, cool, and add the fruit juices. Cube pineapple, put in glasses with the cocoa out and cover with the syrup and fruit juices. Apple Dumplings Make a baking powder biscuit dough and roll it into a sheet about one-fourth of an inch thick. Spread thickly with sliced apples; sprinkle over them sugar and cinnamon. Roll up the dough. Sprinkle the edges of the roll with cold milk or water so that the corners will meet in the center and adhere. Press the edges firmly and lightly together. Brush the tops with beaten egg, melted fat or milk and sprinkle with sugar. Place in greased pan with small amount of boiling water and bake in hot oven until crust and fruit are cooked.

R. 9694, which authorizes erect a monument in France services of the Ninety-third I the House of Representatives the Senate Committee on M action by the Senate of the U WASHINGTON, Dec. 13—While the House had under consideration the Interior Department appropriation bill last Saturday, two Southern Democratic members of Congress engaged in a debate on the question of Federal appropriations to Howard University. They were Representatives B. G. Lowery of Mississippi and Thomas L. Blanton of Texas. The debate was precipitated in the general discussion of the bill when Representative Lowery attacked the items appropriating the sum of $68,000 to Howard University. He declared that such an amount was equivalent to about 5 per cent on an endowment of $400,000, and that no institution to white people in Mississippi had an endowment of one-tenth of that amount. Mr. Lowery also said that the proposed Howard University appropriation was about one-third larger than the appropriation for the Bureau of Education and as large as the combined appropriation- for the Bureau of Education and the Institution for Deaf in the District of Columbia. The Mississippi congressman proposed that funds for the maintenance and operation of Howard University be raised by an appeal to American philanthropy. "Regardless of politics," said Representative Blanton, the Negro has found out that the southern man is his truest friend. They come to us for everything they really want; they do not go to their other brethren; they come to us because they know that we are their friends. We cannot afford to turn them down nor to turn their university down. That is my position." The Interior Department appropilation bill, making appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1925, was reported to the House by the committee on appropriations December 10. This bill carried items for Howard University totaling $368,000, an increase of $150,000 over the appropriation for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1927. This increase in the Howard University appropriation represents an amount proposed for a new dormitory building for girls. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, told the subcommittee of the House appropriations committee, which held hearings on the Interior Department appropriation bill in November, that a new dormitory for women is indispensable. He said that there were 634 women registered in the university in last school year of 1925 from outside the District of Columbia and normally ought to have had room on the university campus. "Of these $75 women." President Johnson declared. "185 were crowded into our present dormitories, in some cases four women to a small room, under conditions in which it was difficult to sustain modesty and individuality. One hundred and eighty-three were left to find homes in the city of Washington among conditions which our dean of women regards as being undesirable. The proposed building will house from 96 to 100 students, according to maps. CITY NEW In asking for a total appropriation of $58,000, President Johnson told the subcommittee that this sum is small compared with the more than $12,500,000 annually appropriated by the Federal Government to educational institutions, many of which are entirely closed to colored people. The other two Howard University items in the Interior Department appropriation bill are for salaries, $125,000, and general expenses, $68,000. The Interior Department appropriation bill carries a total of $186,000 for Freedman's Hospital. Of this amount the sum of $172,000 is for salaries. This amount is $556 less than the estimate submitted by the President in the Budget and $456 less than the appropriation for the current fiscal year. The other item for Freedman's Hospital is for subsistence, $75,000. There is an increase in this item of $22,160 over the amount appropriated for the present fiscal year. Approximately $25,000 of this amount will be used for the replacement of laundry machinery. Freedmen's Hospital Cares for 4,227 in Year WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 12. A total of 4,227 patients were admitted to Freedmen's Hospital during the past fiscal year, according to the annual report of Dr. W. A. Warfield, chief surgeon. Of these 570 were pay patients and brought a total revenue of $23,533.50. Of those admitted free of charge 1,598 were residents of the District and 1,659 came from the States. During the year 2,851 patients were discharged. Of these 2,318 had entirely recovered, 1,301 were improved, 242 unimproved. Deaths amounted to 345. The surgeon performed 2,930 operations with a mortality of three per cent. The total mortality at the hospital was seven per cent of the hospital. Dr. Warfield reports. Hamilton Fish Asks Support for Bill to Erect Memorial to Negro Soldiers Representative Hamilton Fish, Jr., who introduced in Congress a bill providing for a memorial to the Negro soldiers of the Ninety-third Division in France, has asked the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to use its influence to secure passage in the Senate of H. R. 9949, which authorizes the expenditure of $30,000 to erect a monument in France to commemorate the valiant services of the Ninety-third Division. The bill has passed the House of Representatives and has been reported out by the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, and is awaiting action by the Senate of the United States. CITY NEWS BRIEFS "Unless a vote is reached before March 4," he writes, "when the Senate adjourns, the Bill will die automatically, and a favorable opportunity to secure such action by this Congress will have expired, and it will be much more difficult to take it up again in any future Congress. Consequently, it is of the utmost importance that every Senator, particularly in the Northern States, be petitioned by letters and telegrams to work and vote for H. R. 9694 in order to secure its immediate passage. There are four hundred thousand soldiers in our army; there are twelve million of colored people in the country and every one should be interested in seeing that recognition is given to the soldiers of the colored race who made the supreme sacrifice. "The four regiments, 389th, 370th, 371st and 372d, which composed 92d division, served with the French Army. Three of the four regiments had their flags decorated with the French Croix de Guerre. There is no dispute as to the hepiany, gallantry and courage of the colored fighting soldiers of the 372d division. Out of a total strength of approximately 10,000 soldiers in these four regiments, 468 killed, 468 were wounded, mounting to 50 per cent casualties. "All the colored people of America are asking that the unjust discrimination against the heroism of the Negro soldiers be done away with, and that a monument be erected in France which will be for all time an inspiration to patriotism.

WEDNESDAY. DEC. 15. 1926 Georgia Senator Asks Patronage Investigation WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 13.—Chaifing under the distribution of Federal patronage in the State of Georgia by Benjamin Jefferson Davis, who succeeded the late Henry Lincoln Johnson as a member of the Republican National Committee. Senator William J. Harris, Democrat, of that state, introduced a resolution in the Senate last Thursday calling for an investigation of Federal appointments in Georgia. Under the provisions of the resolution the president of the Senate, would be authorized to appoint a special committee of three Senators to investigate the report to the Senate as soon as practicable the facts regarding the report that the Republican National Committeeman in Georgia has engaged in the barter of Federal offices or of his influence in respect of appointments to such offices. Support for Bill al to Negro Soldiers Fish, Jr., who introduced in a memorial to the Negro sol- sion in France, has asked the Advancement of Colored Peo- cure passage in the Senate of the expenditure of $30,000 to to commemorate the valiant Division. The bill has passed and has been reported out by biliary Affairs, and is awaiting United States. and loyalty for all the colored people of America. "I hope that you will be able to interest the colored people to take upon themselves the responsibility of notifying the Senators by resolutions, letters and telegrams that the entire twelve million colored people of America request and demand that this Bill be voted upon and passed before March 4, in order that the gallantry of these colored soldiers who were segregated by order of the War Department be recognized and a monument be erected on the battlefields of France so that incoming generations of America will know of the glorious record of these colored soldiers. "Trusting you will bend every effort to get the support and the cooperation of all the colored newspapers, churches, fraternal organizations and leading citizens to make their wishes known to the Senators of the United States."

Lakewood 955 Roach Says Case Is Settled Misunderstanding Grew Out of Return of Deposit for Use of Hall William H. Roach, 42, 2340 Seventh avenue, manager of the Renaissance Casino, was held in $1,000 ball pending action by the Grand Jury on a charge of grand larceny. it is reported, when he was arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate Well last Monday morning. According to Mr. Roach however, the case has been amicably settled. Roach was arrested on the charge of Clifford C. Austin, 25, 210 West 142d street, president of the Premier Sports Club, who claimed that he withheld a refund of $500 which was deposited as payment use of the ballroom on Columbus Day. and Thanksgiving Day. Several weeks before the former date Austin was notified that the management had cancelled the agreement. The entire amount of money, Roach stated, was returned and the affair settled before the hearing on Monday. However, Magistrate Well held he should be kept under bond for the Grand Jury to make investigations, as he had previously been convicted of larceny and violation of the Sullivan law. When the dates for the use of the will were applied, the use was agreed, according to Roach, that on November 26 $160 on the amount would be returned. But where and how the refund was to be made was not stated. Anyway, the Premier Sports Club sent no one to collect. Roach stated, so the payment was not made. On the night of December 3, when the club was entertaining at the Casino, Roach delivered $195 of the total, intending, he declared, to make complete payment on that night. The club took offense when the club's attorney approached him in a "nasty, sarcastic and dirty manner." to collect the $205 remaining due. Sharp words and a brief scuffle ensued, and Roach ordered him to "get the 'blank' out." The result was that Roach was removed from his place of business and placed in the Tombs, where he remained a day and a night before obtaining release. WHO SAYS KNOCKING WOOD ISN'T O.K.? Joseph Daniels, chauffeur. 2:30 West 140th street, knocked with his knuckles on a wooden table in the Traffic Court Friday when arraigned before Magistrate August W.

The action of belladonna then absorbed in this way is prac- cally instantaneous, and is many mes stronger than when the belladonna is taken internally. That is why pain vanishes so quickly—as if by magic—when Johnson's Belladonna Plaster is applied. The inflammation is relieved, the swelling is subdued, and a peaceful comfort is restored marvelously short time. Johnson's carries full-strength belladonna and the entire medication is dud in soluble form for immediate and continual absorption through the skin into the soak of pain. Johnson's Belladonna Plasters are full strength, so to be certain of satisfaction ask for Johnson's Belladonna. Plaster by name. Sold by 1 drug stores.

Henson, of the Bronx, in the discovery of the North Pole, is about to be taken. At the time the news was flashed out of the frozen north in 1909 that Commemorate Robert E. Peary, of the American Navy, had planted the flag of the United States at the top of the world. Little was said of the instance given the explorer by his colored companion. Peary, in later years, after he retired to his home on an island in Portland Harbor, Mon., Admited Peary—whose step up in rank was given him because of his exploits, gave credit to Matt Henson for his share in the expedition. On more than one occasion Henson saved Pearcy's life, and it is now accepted that Henson was the first to reach the Pole, dugging the sled on which Pearcy was rested, as his feet were frozen and he could not walk. Pearcy was not far from death when he and Henson got back to their outpost he quarters, where others in the party, too sick to take part in the final dash, had been left. Concressman Collier announced recently from his office in Washington that he would offer a bill to have the Government at least recognize the part Henson played in the discovery. The government received neither reward nor honor for his share. Concressman Collier said, "Old and in ill health from exposure, Henson is an obscure mental servant or messenger in the Cossacks House in New York at a salary hardly sufficient to keep himself and his family. "I am now offering a bill to have the Government at least recognise his courage and daring and give him some measure of reward by having the Director of the Mint suitable and well-communicating its great fees as a discoverer with Heart of the North Pole." Residents of Jamaica Hold Meeting and Will File Protests of Neglect of Streets At a mass meeting of the colored property owners of Jamaica, held at the club house of the Merriick Park Recreational Centre, 108th avenue, on December 7, the officials of the city administration were soundly scored for their neglected and unpracticed condition of the streets in residential section of the south side of Jamaica. It is in this section that a majority of the colored people live. The point was stressed at the meeting that while the property owners of this section pay the same rate of taxes as the property owners of other sections, the mid streets of the south side are entirely collected by the city while the well-to-do men and women whose well-to-do whites live are substantially constructed and kept in good repair. As a result of the meeting a permanent organization was formed to be known as the South Jamaica Property Owners Association, priming its efforts to remedy as far as possible these deplorable conditions. The officers elected are Mrs. Anna V. Barnes, chairman; Harry George, vice-chairman; Frank M. Turner, secretary; John L. N. Senior associate; and the rest of the officers.

Man Who Started Disturbance at Brooklyn Hall Convicted Last Week Man Who Started Disturbance at Brooklyn Hall Convicted Last Week Direct Cause of Closing of Labor Lyceum Came Within an Ace of Being Bitten by Teeth Put in the New Baumes Law Because of the severe punishment that he would receive under the Baumes law, a jury before County Judge Martin last week refused to convict George A. Cook. 32 years old, better known as "Lonny," of 547 Classon avenue, as a second offender, despite his record, and thereby spared Cook at least ten years in prison. Charles Mitchel, 27 years old, of 33 Marion street, who was arrested with Cook, did not take his chances with a jury, but instead pleaded guilty to assault in the third degree.

Phone Sterling 8017 1253 BEDFORD AVE., BROOKLYN NEAR FULTON STREET "Lonny" Cook was arrested on the night of Sept. 23, after he is alleged to have started a fight at Labor Lyceum, where the "Virginia Joymakers" were giving a dance. The fight led to the breaking up of the ball. When Cook was arrested by Police Vanhattan his friend Mitchell is alleged to have attempted to get Cook away from the officer, and in doing so the officer's revolver was fired, and he was shot in the foot. Police reserves came and both men were arrested before their friends could take them from Officer Vanhattan. Cook was indicted for first degree assault as a second offender, having been sentenced to Elmira for assault in 1914 by former Mayor Hylan, then County Judge. The indictment was based on the report that it was Cook who grabbed the officer's revolver when he attempted to fire it in order to summon aid. On the day that the jury trying Cook had deliberated about 15 minutes, the members returned and asked Judge Martin if they could find Cook guilty as a first offender. Martin stated, "Proof of this man's record has been given you, and he himself has admitted it. The matter of a verdict is entirely yours." Shortly thereafter the jury found Cook guilty as a first offender, and Judge Martin accepted the verdict. In a talk with reporters District Attorney Dodd virtually admitted there is no provision in the law to prevent juries trying criminal cases from disregarding the defendant's record. He added that this apparent loophoole that allows juries to decide upon a man's past record, or regardless of the police record, or in this case his own confession, removes the teeth from the Baumers laws, both District Attorney Dodd and Judge Martin declined to answer at this time. Had the jury convicted Cook as a second offender he would have had to be sentenced to a flat term, the minimum of which would have been five years and the maximum of seven years, and sentenced to an indeterminate term of from one month to five years. Although the jury failed to amplify its decision by an explanation, it is understood the twelve men for whom a punishment of from to inflict was too severe for the crime for which the defendant was before them. 17-Year-Old Brooklyn Girl Held in Heavy Bail A 17-year-old girl, who gave her name as Catherine Artist and is salsa io have also been called Theel- Artist Thelma Johns and Elise Brown, was arrested on Wednesday day night, Dec. 8, on Fulton street on complaint of a white woman, Mrs. Caryl Rehback, of 1877 East Twenty-first street, who alleged that the girl had stolen clothing from her while in her employ.

Nashville, Tenn., predicted a new South, of free ideas, tolerance and education, for which liberal forces were now fighting a “civil war.” Professor Mims said, in part: “The solidarity of the South is no longer a source of pride, but of humiliation to many of its most devoted men.

There is a South that practices and justities lynching und another South that believes it is unjustifiable under any and ull circumstances, and ty resolutely determined to put an end to It. “Georgia, that has furnished tar too many ‘instances of the first point of view, recently has sent to the penitentiary for from six years to life the leaders of a mob. May South Carolina now follow suit and punish the mob that lynched Negroes.” Dr. Mims began uis address by saying that it was time to have done with talk about Southern chivalry, ‘Southern manners and hospitality und even Southern ideals and traditions, He said the South had used the Civil War to ex. plain too many things und that a new civil war wus on today be tween the progressives or lihera!s and the conservatives or reaction- aries. Prof. Mims referred to the enactment of anti-evolution laws as reactionary efforts - which must eventually fall before the inevitable progress of ltberal ideas. “In the present war.” deciared Professor Mims. “the progressives are fighting for economic efficiency, for widespread intelligence, for tle right of criticism. for freedom of thought im education and politics, They are going to win eventually along the whole line of battle.” Contrasting the two kinds of South, Professor Mima said: “There is x South of evclesiasti cal demagogues who would put in Jaboratories and libraries as : warning to its scholars, ‘this fa% shalt thou go and no further"; ant a South of enlightened prophet: who would follow truth whereve tt may lead and whatever it mus cost.

Howard Comedy Picture Feature at the Roosevelt Theatre Comedy Picture Feature at the Roosevelt Theatre Corinne Griffith essays the role of a sophisticated, slang-slinging, gun-chewing music store piano player in her latest comedy hit, "Syncopating Sue," which will open Thursday at the Roosevelt Theatre. In the same humorous vein as "Classified," which proved such a decided success, "Syncopating Sue" has been received on Broadway as an even smoother comedy. "Syncopating Sue" tells the story of a New York song plugger who has a fervent ambition to go on the stage. Romance enters her life in the form of a penniless trap drummer, a part ably filled by Tom Moore. The manner in which these two meet and the difficulties that "Sue" encounters in furthering her ambitions for a stage career form the nucleus of plot for the exhilarating comedy. M.

Enthusiasm was rife during the entire evening and casual observers are of the opinion that it was a master stroke by the promoters of the affair in bringing together for the cause these brilliant minds in the community. The history of the Utopia Club and its work was outlined; the story of the obstacles which had to be overcome in reaching its present stage was told; the man in which $34,000 was mailed within the race was described and the honesty of purpose was felt by all present when a detailed account was given of the use to which monies contributed had been put. Even those who are not part ularly concerned will admit that the work being done by this organization in behalf of dependent mothers and their children in this teaching community with its those sands of needy homes is one which, without the least shadow of doubt, carries the stamp of a necessity which must be met at some time or other. Outsiders interested in the work feel that the time is ripe to carry on in a larger way and to that end steps have been taken to bring what is being contemplated and what is being done before the general public in a forbearable way. Through Miss Willhelm Adams a monster midnight performance to be staged some time in January at the benefit of the Utopia. Every penny raised at this show will be turned over towards the big drive.

TWELVE Best Sport In Greater New Renaissance Tuning Holiday Clash Entre Nous Combination Purs and Mayers to the For Contestants The crack Renaissance F continued their victorious s when they took into camp the best combinations seen here i The visitors put up a stiff ers, but the Douglas men are the aspirations of any quint on the old home court. While all the boys contributed towards the victory, it was left to George Flahl and Harold Mayers to force to the fore in this latest conquest. The usual fine crowd turned out to witness the defeat of the Entré Nous, which found them on the tail end of a 39-30 score. In the preliminary game for the Douglas Trophy the St. Mark's Alumni players defeated the Buffaloes by a score of 25-23. In this game Peters starred for the St. Mark's and Desouza was the bright spot for the Buffaloes. The coming Sunday night the Renaissance will line up against the fast going Kingston team in another one of those games which promises to set all hands by the ease. The season is now in full swing and the white players are going to try to put a crimp into the long line of victories being picked up by the local team. All these battles in which the Renaissance come out on the long end of the score but lead to that big battle which will take place on New Year's, when the colored champions again come before their faithful followers in a championship contest. It is felt that only the Celtics have a chance against Renaissance when she is going at her best, but one always finds the eleventh of doubt when these white teams bring to our neighborhood some of the scintillating stars of the big leagues, that Renaissance can take the floor against all of them with so much confidence speaks well for the Douglas combination, which will again be forced to show at its best when time is called for the annual clash for the world's title. HECTIC BOUTS IN AMATEURS Leonardo Pina, the clever hardhitting Chilean boxer, added Tom Curley, of the Ascension Parish House, to his list of knockout victories in one of the high spots in the Crescent amateur boxing tourney last Thursday night. After hitting Curley freely in the first round, Pina received credit for a knockout when the bout was stopped in the second round. Stanley Cross, of the Trinity Club, and Mayweather Robinson, unattached, were other star performers. Pina displayed his usual fast attack against Curley in their 19-pound bout, and went after the Ascension Parish lad from the start. Curley could not ward off Pina's lofting punches and stopped many shots hunk up. Stanley Cross put up one of the best showings in some time when he outpointed Dominic Zizzo on the Paulist A, C, after four rounds. The Trinity had started out like a streak and broke through Zizzo's guard time and again in the first round, but he could not hold his advantage when Zizzo unleashed a counterattack in the second round. At the end of the three rounds the bats were on even terms, but in the extra round Cross clearly shaded Zizzo. Mayweather Robinson, unattached, stopped Jack Lammeru, also unattached, in the second round of their 18-pound bout, after one of the weirdest contests in several months. The two staged a fine brand of catch-and-catch-wan wrestling at times and at others pushed or pulled each other around the ring. Robinson finally got over a hard right to Lammeru's jaw in the second round and the comedy was over. Hughie Ratzel, of the National A. C., scored another knockout by stopping Tommy Thomas, of the Salem-Crescent A. C., in the second round of the 125-pound class, while Joe Colleinstein of the Seward Gym, accounted for the other knockout by dropping Joe Figueras, of the East Side Dogs' Club, in the second round of their 115-pound contest. 115-Pound Class-Jack Schweitzer, Seward Gym, defeated Palumbo, Dochsier Gym, three rounds, judges decided. 115-Pound Class-Henry Tonnette, Toliver Club, defeated Harry Levy, Seward Gym, three rounds, judges decided. 115-Pound Class-Joe Colleinstein, Reed Gym, knocked out Joe Figueras, Dochsier Gym, second round. 115-Pound Class-Stanley Cross, Dochsier Gym, defeated Dennis Zizzo, A.

C., Dec. 11—Before a crowded Chapel on Wednesday, December S. 1926, members of the victorious varsity were awarded the various football insignia. The program consisted of musical selections by the R. O. T. C. Band, introductory remarks by President Mordecai W. Johnson, and an address by Principal W. L. Smith, of the Dunbar High School (Washington, D. C.). Varsity Football Captain of 1898. Principal Smith stated that loyalty is the secret of the prominence of football as an intercollegiate sport. He urged team-work rather than individuality, stressing the importance of these attributes in the great game of life. Dr. E. P. Davis, President of the Board of Athletic Control, presented the insignia to the following men: Those receiving letters and certificates were: Clarence I. Smith, James G. Tyson, John L. Young, M. G. Rainey, Carroll W. Salille, Dennis Simpson, Cecil C. Hinton, Milfred H. Martin, Hilry C. Thomas, John Henry Coleys, Daniel W. Brown, Vernon D. Smith (Capt.), Louis S. Campbell, Edgar M. Ross, Hughlon M. Kelley, Andrew J. Smith, Robert B. Miller, Costromer Ewell, and John E. Codwell (manager). Those receiving sweaters were: John L. Young, M. G. Rainey, Dennis Simpson, Cecil C. Hinton, Andrew J. Smith, Costromer Ewell, and John E. Codwell. Those receiving gold footballs were: Clarence I. Smith, James C. Tyson, Hilry C. Thomas, John H. Coles, Daniel W. Brown, Edgar M. Ross, and Robert B. Miller. Both speeches and presentations were greeted with applause and yeils led by the three varsity cheerers. The climax of the occasion was the most eloquent speech of John E. Codwell, student football manager, on behalf of the team, in presenting a specially designed gold football to Coach Louis L. Watson, in which he paid tribute to the coach for giving to Howard one of the greatest football team in the country and a system that is destined to become famous. He concluded with the statement. "Notre Dame has her Rockne, Michigan Her Yost, and Howard her Watson." The response of the coach was brief, though significant in his prediction of a similar triumph next year. President Johnson commented upon the becoming modesty of the coach as worthy of emulation on the part of the faculty, students and alumni of the university. The occasion closed with the singing of Alma Mater. Tattlers' Opening Game On Saturday evening, Dec. 11, the Tattler Girls net and defeated the Waco girls at the Abyssinian Gym. Score 11-3. The game was very lively from start to finish, but the Waco girls may surprise the Tattlers when they line up against them on New Year's Day at St. Mark's Hall. Line up for Tattler—Sarah Pollard, right forward (capt.): Irene Swails, left forward; Sophia Cunningham, center; Estelle Richardson, right guard; Helene Roberts, left guard.

Apartment 2 December AFTER what Jack Dempsey had said about Jack Kearns, you would imagine that Walk Miller, manager of Tiger Flowers, would have exercised more care in his dealings with Kearns. MILLER came to town last week and tried to get Kearns to go through with his promise of a return bout, pitting Mickey Walker against Tiger Flowers at the Garden. Kearns agreed, alright, alright, but demanded two hundred thousand cold dollars for his end of the purse.

THE New York State Athletic Commission will not insist upon Kearns going through with his promise to let Mickey meet Tiger within ninety days. They say they have nothing to do with it, and with the usual honhead action, will uphold the perfumery person whom Jack Dempsey denounced as being a menace to boxing in his new dealings. WHICH brings to mind the fact that this commission is the biggest joke that ever attempted to direct affairs in boxing. Gene Tunney snapped his fingers at them and went right ahead giving boxing exhibitions when the same commission had ruled that Tiger Flowers could not do the same thing. Had Flowers taken the stand of Tunney he would have been ruled "out" and nothing could have been done in the matter. THIS same commission had a whole lot to do with helping to hound Wills out of his chance for a crack at Dempsey's title. The one man with some remaining sense of fair play on the board could not do a thing with Muldoon and Brower. This man Muldoon knew that the first time Wills met Dempsey it would be all over with the champion. In spite of his defeat at the hands of Shankey, few there are entertaining any doubts of the result had Wills met Dempsey that night in the "battle of the Sesqui." FRANK YOUNG, of the Chicago Defender, has given to the world the most comprehensive account of the things leading up to and after the fight between Tiger Flowers and Mickey Walker in Chicago. Young's splendid work has indicted Benny Yanger in the minds of all fair people with a fistic bent. It was one of the rawest and most dirty deals that was ever handed a colored fighter when the decision was given to Walker. BUT things all work out for the best. They robbed the Tiger of his fight against Mike McTigue here, but public sentiment played its part and Tiger was given a chance to grab the title from Harry Greb. Kearns will repeat the stuff he did for Dempsey in steering Walker clear of Flowers. It was Benny Leonard who had the courage to come out and show where boxing is one of the dirtiest games here today. It is all that and a little more.

Sir Sir May I be allowed space in your valuable paper to reply to the statements carried on the sport page of the Pittsburgh Courier of November 20, under the caption "What's the Matter With Football Outside?" The writer of the article, Theodore Walls, line coach at Lincoln University, in discussing the Morgan-Lincoln game, asserts that "the referee didn't know what it was all about," referring to the awarding of a touchdown to the Morgan team on the following play: Hill, of Morgan, received a forward pass and was on his way to the Lincoln goal line when Martin, of Lincoln, not in the game at the time, ran out from the bench and tackled him. I gave the touchdown to Morgan as a penalty. Mr. Walls says "This (play), of course, was contrary to the rules, and the penalty for such an offense is half the distance from where the play ended to the goal. anyone who knows a thing about it at all also knows that the penalty meted out was offence." As information to the public and Mr. Walls, I wish to state that there no rule in the book to cover such a play. Precedent, however, has established the penalty as given. Wilson Wingate, football authority of the (Baltimore) Morning Sun, was asked to pass on the decision. In his own column in that paper on November 17 Mr. Wingate, offering of the play in the Morgan-Lincoln name, said: The referee ruled a touchdown and quite properly, although there was considerable argument. The referee's ruling was correct. Navy Bill Ingram, Navy Coach, was cited as the one man hereabout who played in a game where a similar situation occurred . . . local fans will remember the Navy-Great Lakes Training School contest some eight or nine years ago. They will recall Ingram fumbled as he started to plunge for touchdown, that a Great Lakes player scooped up the ball and was all by himself running for a touchdown when a Navy substitute. Midshipman Saunders, dashed out from the bench and brought the Westerner down with a crash as he passed him. The decision as made has also been appended with the Afro-American. Mr. Walls further says his article that "a parallel to this (play in the Morgan-Lincoln game) was found in the Michigan-Army game this year. May I inform Mr. Walls that Michigan and the Army did not this year, and as far as memory serves, have never met on the gridiron. In regard to the last play in the game when Lincoln carried the ball across the line for a touchdown, which was not allowed, the explanation is simply this: Time had been called "out" and the ball could not be in play until the two captains and all officials were ready. The captain of the Morgan team, the headlineman, and the umpire were not ready, and time had not been called "in" when the ball was snapped. Therefore, the score made was not allowed and the ball was brought back to the place where the play originated. I hope Mr. Walls will, in his future articles, take care to be more accurate in his statements to the press.

With a superb Howard offense silencing the big guns of the Athenian defense, the latter went down to a 31-24 defeat in a bitterly fought contest. The Bisons grabbed themselves a 9 to 0 lead during the first quarter but the battling Greeks overcame this disadvantage and secured a 10 to 9 lead. This Howard overcame as the whistle blew ending the half, 11 to 10. in Howard's favor. The second half found the varsity boys amassing another lead which they held until the end. Simpson and Spears played wonderful for the winners, while Lewis and Jackson played well for the losers. HOWARD UNIV.

It took the veteran Bill Howard to start the Vandals off to victory Friday night at Waltz Dream Hall. A roar of approval as Howard took his old place at forward and pandemonium broke as he scored two field goals and followed with two points from the foul mark, giving his team a six-point lead. The game was stopped until order had been restored. Bill then played defensive forward, Baskerville taking the offensive and at half-time the seashore boys led 19-11 Stellar foul shooting by the Capital City boys and field tosses by Hawkins.

Onken's boys first fought their way to a championship in 1924, then repeated their victory in 1925, and Saturday, at the 102nd Engineers' Armory, at Broadway and 168th street, scored their third successive triumph. And the triumph of Saturday was the most remarkable of all, for when the points were totaled the team showed just three times as many counters as its nearest competitor, Manhattan P. S. No. 80.

Onken's team averaged 60 points. Manhattan P. S. 89 could show but 20 markers at the end of the meet, while Brooklyn P. S. No. 89, with 12 points; Bronx P. S. No. 53 and Manhattan P. S. No. 5, each with 10 points, were the only others of the twenty-seven schools to score in the meet to win double figure totals. Four Records Broken. The leader in the junior high school scoring—there were three special events for boys in that class—was the Frederick Douglas Junior High School, which gathered a total of 16 points to the 11 scored by its nearest rival, Mount Morris Junior High. Four records, two for the elementary school youngsters and two for the junior high school competitors, were broken in the course of the afternoon, and thrills galore were furnished the big gallery that witnessed the meet. The first of the records to tumble was the mark of 5 4/5 seconds for the 40-yard dash for the 75-pounders. That mark had withstood all assaults for more than five years, but at this meet a young colored joy by the name of Douglas Washington and wearing the colors of Manhattan P. S. No. 184, went whizzing through the finish tape in 5 3/5 seconds for the new record in that event. A few minutes later David Corker, who was a corker in more ways than one, earned a wild cheer from that section of the gallery set aside for the rooting section of Manhattan P. S. No. 22, for his winning leap in the standing broad jump for 90-pounders was 7 feet 2 inches, which bettered by an even half-inch the mark set for the event last year. The junior high school records both came in relay races and were YOUNGSTERS IN "WORLD" ATHLETIC MEET Merola Again Defeats Rash in Hectic Battle the work of teams representing Frederick Douglas Junior High. The 120-pound quarter-mile relay quartet of that institution traveled the course in 50 2/5 seconds, which was a full two seconds under the record made last year, while the 850-yard relay team competing in the unlimited class completed the course in 1 minutes 45 seconds, which time was one-fifth of a second faster than the event had ever been run before. Jumps in Heavy Shoes. To John Thomas, another of the many Negro youngsters whose work featured the games, should be given special mention, for that young man, who competed in heavy army shoes—a tremendous handicap, as any seasoned athlete can tell you—won the running high jump in the unlimited class, with a close-to-record effort of 5 feet 2 inches. The games were preceded by a most colorful demonstration—a parade of the 2,000 competitors similar to the Olympic parade of athletes which figures in the quadrennial international track and field games. To the measured music of the B. F. Keith's Boys' Band, the grand array of youthful track and field men, headed by the officials of the games, Gustavus T. Kirby, chairman of the Reception Committee; Joseph M. Sheehan of the Public Schools Department; Murray Hulbert, president of the A. A. U., and others, made the circuit of the track and then drew up in a line of platoons to salute the colors and recite the pledge of allegiance.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 15. 1926 AMATEURBOUTS AT THE GARDEN Twenty or more bouts will be contested at the special invitation amateur boxing tournament which the Metropolitan Association A. A. U. will conduct at Madison Square Garden on Thursday evening. Dec. 16. The following are a few of the star boxers in each class who will compete: WHITE DEFEATS WILLIE DILLON An epidemic of knockouts hit the boxing show at the Flushing armory last Thursday night and as a result only two of the five scheduled hours went the limit. In the feature six-round clash, which was filled with action from start to finish, Mickey White, a 139-pounder from the 14th Regiment, took a well-earned decision over Willie Dillon, 1401s, of Cuba. This bout was a slam-bang affair throughout. Dillon absorbed a lot of punishment at the hands of his hard-hitting rival, but on occasions he would stage a furious rally, driving his opponent before him. This naturally made a big hit with the fans. Mickey piled up an early lead over the fancy stepping, but otherwise not particularly dangerous. Dillon, the Fourteenth battler using a neat straight left jab with telling effect. He never had Willie on the verge of a knockout, but the Cuban boxer took a heavy leathering. Toward the close of the battle, Dillon staged a determined rally that almost earned a draw decision, but White's lead was too great to be overcome. The semi-final, scheduled for six rounds and then shortened to four, lasted even less than that, for Kid Pinard, of Fort Totten, won a technical knockout victory over Kid Williams of the U. S. Army when the referee stopped the bout after one minute and twelve seconds of milling in the opening round. Williams was no match for Pinard and just before the end was sent down for a nine count. Pinard weighed 135 and Williams was a half pound lighter. The Y. W. C. A. basketball team opens its season Saturday, Dec. 18, against the stauunch warriors of the Montclair Y. W. C. A.

After a period of non-professional singing, he finally gave up his intended medical career for the concert stage. SALEM FIGHTER BESTS SMITH In a bout that fairly bristled with action throughout, August Ferdinand, clever Salem-Crescent boxer, last Thursday night scored a questionable decision over George Smith, of the Staten Island A. A. at the Sheridan Council K. of a amateur bout before the biggest crowd of the year. At the close of the regulation three rounds, the officials decided neither lad had gained an appreciable advantage and called for an extra round. The colored boxer received the award at the finish of this session, although many seemed to think Smith was entitled to the verdict. The boys are lightweights. Smith, a clever southpaw, kept following August about the ring and landing often with an overhand right. Ferdinand was not idle, however, and struck in some stiff rights that sent George back upon his heels. The punching was fast and furious in the opening session and both boys hit the canvas twice, but neither took a count. The second slowed down a little, but was still fast enough to satisfy the most exacting of the fistic followers. Again in the third it was a case of the Staten Islander doing the forcing and the Salem-Crescent representative the finer counter-fighting. The extra round was another slam-bang canto and the crowd was in an uproar before the lads had finished. Celtics Vs. Renaissance The secret is out and, although it came to us as we were about to go to press, we are not going to allow anybody else to beat us with the good news—news which will be welcome like the flowers next May to thousands of basketball fans. On New Years night the world-beating Celtics will make their first appearance in this section of the city to meet their ancient enemies, the famous Renaissance, in what will be "The Battle of Manhattan." You have heard of "battles of the century," battles of "the Sesqui" and a host of others, but few will cope with this big battle of the Manhattan, as it will be one wherein none will dare make the charge that the men on each team will not fight until the last whistle. The Celtics need no introduction to the colored fans of Greater New York. For years they have led the world as basketball players and they are coming here to again meet the colored champions in a battle for the world's title. Few will miss this clash. We demand that Robert Douglas furnish us with the details for our next issue. Fund for Harlem Poor Musicale a Success A musicale sponsored by Mrs. Luille Randolph last Sunday afternoon at 252 West 137th street, home of the vice-president, was given for the benefit of the Harlem Christmas Fund for the Poor.

Mrs. Randolph is the president of this branch of women working for the benefit of the poor people in this neighborhood. Renaissance Five to Meet Fast Hobokens on Christmas Night Renaissance Five to Meet Fast Hobokens on Christmas Night Gibraltar Girls Will Also Tangle With Dauntless at St. Mark's Hall in First of Two Games Things will naturally hum in these diggings on Christmas night as basketball will send its pennant right to the top of the mast when the Renaissance travel over to St. Mark's Hall to do battle with and unto the crack Hoboken Five. This is a rare treat prepared by some far-seeing promoter, as Christmas night is one on which hundreds seek entertainment of this kind and they struck the right keynote when they induced the Renaissance Five to make the journey to St. Mark's. The Hobokenens have made a name on the smaller courts, and we believe that the Douglas men will be put to it on the above occasion, as the visitors are on to every angle of these small halls. To top the night's offering will be staged a girls' basketball game that will bring together two well-known teams. This big preliminary will see facing each other the Gibraltar Girls and the Dauntless Girls.

MEROLA AGAIN DEFEATS RASH Carlo Merola, of the Fourteenth Regiment, gained a close but just verdier over Kid Rash, the veteran colored boxer, in the feature of a card of six-rounders at the Twenty-seventh Division Train Armory last Friday night. The pair put up a fast exhibition. Merola's more effective body punching earning him the decision. Rash took a bad drubbing about the body, but he stood up gamely all the way and managed to make his younger rival put out all he had. Merola an 122 had a three and one-half pound pull in the weights. Merola set the pace in the first three rounds, but he wearied in the fourth and Rash came on to make things interesting. The body punching he had taken in the first three rounds proved too much for the colored scraper, however, and he was unable to follow up his lead effectively enough to turn the tide of battle. Rash's stomach and sides bore red welts at the end of the bout. It is the second decision Merola has earned over Rash, the South Brooklyn featherweight having received the verdict when the pair clashed two weeks ago. Rod La Rocque's New Photoplay at the Douglas Undeniably one of the best pictures down here in many a day, Rod La Rocque's new star vehicle. "Gigolo," will be at the Douglas Theatre this week. The star's skill at making up his face, which is presumed to have been rebuilt through plastic surgery, was amazingly demonstrated and as much of the story hinges upon the failure of his old friends, not to speak of his boyhood sweetheart, to recognize hint when he becomes a gigolo, or dancing partner of wealthy women in French cafes, it proved an artistic triumph. The theme has been admirably developed by William K. Howard, the director. The production, especially the sequences in Paris after the armistice, are massive as well as beautiful. It has been lavishly done. The star does the finest work of his screen career in the role of the American boy turned dancer through necessity. The support given him by Johanna Ralston as the girl, and Louise Dresser as the mother, was highly meritorious. Cyril Chadwick and George Nichols efficiently contributed their quota to make the picture the delight it proved to be. Is Defeat the Carlisles Alpha Vs.

GAILLARD SENDS IN HIS ENTRY GAILLARD SENDS IN HIS ENTRY All of the good boxers in the metropolitan district have sent in their entries for the invitation amateur boxing tournament that the Metropolitan Association A.

In the 175 lb. class William O'Morrissey, who was the runner-up in the last amateur tournament held at Madison Square Garden last month, will be the favorite against Carl Baxter, unattached; J.

KEARNS WANTS ALL THE MONEY Walk Miller, manager of Tiger Flowers, the recently deposed world's middleweight champion, was in town for a brief time last week, but managed to have a lengthy confab with Jess McMahon, Madison Square Garden matchmaker, concerning the promise of Mickey Walker, the new champion, to give Flowers a return bout. It is known that McMahon is trying to arrange the battle for the Garden some time in March, but the hitch in the proceedings is Jack Kearns' declaration that the lowest price he will let. Walker enter the ring against the Georgia Deacon is $200,000. That's quite a bit of change.

Hill is president; Miss E. B. Wilkes, secretary. Sunday, at 11 a.m., Bishop W. J. Walls will preach. On Dec. 22 the annual musical cantata by junior choir will be given. Mrs. Helen Walters, director. Salem M. E. Church "Sometimes you must stand alone for God," said Dr. Cullen in his sermon Sunday morning, discussing how youth should meet the issues of the day. Dr. Cullen took the occasion to drive home some telling facts of character building. The three Hebrew boys of Biblical history who dared the fire for religious principles were held up as an example worthy of emulation for the youth of today. Miss Evelyn Taylor, who attended the Older Boys' and Girls' Conference at the Park Avenue Baptist Church, told of the work of the conference. She told of the frank manner in which the delegates discussed the subject of race relations, pledging themselves to become apostles of a greater fair play. Among the 2,500 young men who attended the international conference at Buffalo Sunday, Dec. 25, the three from Salem were the only ones from the churches of this city. Representatives from most every civilized country met at this conference to discuss international peace and security. Leroy Peterson and William Bond, the three delegates, gave a detailed account of the activities of the conference and spoke in high terms of the results. The young men also presented Dr. Cullen with a pillow, a souvenir of the convention city. The subject, "Our Part in the Church," evoked lively discussions at the Epworth League. James E. Harrison and Attorney John Watts spoke on the lyceum program presented by Mrs. M. Blackstone. Jerome D. Jones and Mrs. Blackstone sang: Miss Bessie Carter recited. The choir will render its Christmas music Sunday evening. Handel's Messiah will be sung. This group will be heard also in a recital at Town Hall Wednesday evening. Dec. 29. Mother Zion Church Sunday marked the second quarterly meeting of this conference year. Presiding Elder Rev. Stephen A. McNeill was the preacher at both services. Industrial mass meeting, under the auspices of the New York Urban League, was held at the J. C. Prince Lyceum. Speakers included George L. Collins. Abram L. Harris. Rev. William L. Ims. William M.

COYLE BLDG EMBALMER T, NEW YORK CITY "Notary Public" NOTARY PUBLIC -Party Machinery in Harlem—Tammany Hall - WEDNESDAY, NOV. 24th, was my last day on earth as I then went to sea—until I reach earth again. it seems so much like the crack of doom for a fellow to be slowly moving off on some big ship, looking at the white-loveed hand of his wife at the tiny window on the pier behind, waving—waving—waving. He gazes steadily at that spot until the white waving hand gradually fades from view, and for a minute he is not certain whether he still sees it or imagines it there—waving—waving. He is no sooner out of sight than he wants to go back, and from that time on through the rest of his journey he will be "on his way home," wherever he may go, for his chief objective becomes the return moment, and, although he may go in a thousand different directions to a thousand places, he is yet always tending toward that moment of being back home. Then the great city fades out of sight, gradually, swallowed up by the thickening haze—as if it had never been. And the mind begins to muse: Is it all a dream, a vision, the wife and that hand, and the city, and the Woolworth Tower, and Long Island, and the Ferris wheel at Coney Then the great city jades out of s lowed up by the thickening haze—as s And the mind begins to muse: Is it a the wife and that hand, and the city, Tower, and Long Island, and the Fe "W HY IS A COLORED DE mains one of the unsolv American Negrology.

It is a well-known fact that William Mooney, the man who organized the Society of Tammany, or the Columbian Order, was a deserter. According to Doctor Gustavus, in his "History of Tammany Hall," Mooney was a deserter from the American Army Sept. 16., 1776, and was charged with joining the British Army, where for a year he wore the king's uniform.

But does this statement of historical the whole reason, or any part of the ch which brought the United Colored Dance: It does not. All that it has to of the organization is whatever is an incidents. The man mostly responsible for what followed was a young hotel head bellman, Edward Lee. About two dozen of men, mostly of the underworld type, or members of the "sporting fraternity," met and organized the new "outlaw" organization. The men who were attracted to the new organization were men who had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Richard Croker, then leader of Tammany, told them that if they would go out and vote the Democratic ticket that he would positively appoint a colored man to the office of the District Attorney if Tammany were successful in the election that fall. Tammany won. Croker kept his word, and a young colored man just out of Columbia Law School was appointed to the office of the Corporation Counsel. His name Sudanese Chief Dies at Age of 90 Osman Digna Led Dervishes Against Britain to Preserve Slavery LONDON, Dec. 15—The death at Wadi Halta of Osman Digna, the Mahdi firebrand in the Sudan wars of the "S0s and 90s and the Fuzzy Wuzzy of Rudyard Kipling's "Barrack Room Ballads," was reported Thursday in a Cairo dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company. Emir Osman Abubekr Digna, or "Osman the Ugly," as he was nicknamed, lived to be more than ninety years of age, not understanding all the battles he had fought. His origin has always been a matter of doubt, whether a pure native or of miscellaneous European breed. He A.N.D.

When, therefore, some thirty years ago a few, colored men left the ranks of No authoritative history of the United Colored Democracy has as yet been written and most of what is known of the organization must be taken from the fugitive minds of its members, past and present. We glean from this slender evidence that a Republican Mayor of the City of New York was waited upon by a committee of colored citizens, in an attempt to secure the appointment of a colored Republican to the staff of the District Attorneys' office of New York County. The Mayor said in reply: "The time has not yet arrived when a man of Negro blood may be entrusted with the duty of defending the majestic provisions of the laws of the City of New York."

Do we see the last tiny bit of light—waving—waving—gradually fading out of the eye and the soul? Never mind—all that faded dream will again awaken to a bright reality? Is it so, too, with life beyond death? Two hours out and we "drop excitement and without drill and the pilot," the man who knows experience, people would all harbar better than the pilot of the ship, and who, therefore, leads the big liners out to sea, out of the meshes of the treacherous sand-bars of the shore waters, and then turns them over to the ship officers, who can pursue the wide path of the ocean toward the east. At twelve noon there is also "boat drill," like the fire drills held in large office buildings At the sound of "four whistles" of the steam engine all passengers are required to put on their life belts and go to the upper decks, each going to the section marked for his part of the ship. An officer inspects the group, to see if they have life belts on right, and instructs the passengers to come to that same station, life belts on, whenever four steam whistles are sounded. As different groups of passengers have assignments to different life boat sections, this will prevent congestion and confusion in case of emergency. In was James D. Carr. Unlearned, as they were for the most part, this group of men had served the race in a capacity which, down to this day, has not quite been appreciated. The leadership remained in the hands of men of the Edward Lee and Caleb Simms type until the time of the Spanish-American War when a young man, John W. Shaw, arrived from Antigua, West Indies, and after passing the examination for Tax Assessor of Queens County, the highest position ever held by a colored man in this State, assumed control and leadership of the United Colored Democracy and laid the basis for the intellectual leadership, which came to the organization years later. The organization was always looked upon by the so-called respectable elements of the race as one might look upon an outlaw brother. It was not until about 1910, when Robert Woods became actively engaged as its leader, that the general outlook of the organization was changed. The character of the organization from a purely political point of view was, to say the least, "Jim-Crow." But since the members were few and scattered all over the city, its "Jim-Crow" aspects did not become important until the colored people became politically independent. This was about the year 1917. The organization, formerly a decided benefit to the Negro in Harlem, is now a decided disadvantage. It has gone farther than that, it has been at times destructive of the political progress of the black Harlemite. When it is considered that the organization is supposed to represent among colored people the same all inclusive machinery which Tammany Hall represents among the whites, it will be seen that since the election laws of the City of New York do not make any provisions for colored assembly districts, and since the leaders who shape the destiny of Tammany Hall are made up of the was originally a slave dealer and joined the Dervish Mahdi in 1885, when the latter revolted against the British. Osman Digna became the Mahdī's right-hand man and fought Kitchener repeatedly; he also routed the Italians at Erythea in 1896. The British captured and imprisoned him in 1900, and after keeping him for a long period in a cell allowed him to reside at Walli Halfa under supervision. Osman Digna was head of a once wealthy family of slave dealers, which became impoverished by the abolition of the slave trade. This was in 1882-83, when the British government put its foot down on slave trading and when the Mahdi proclaimed a holy war. Osman and his brother aroused the tribes against the whites, and an insurrection was started which spread over the entire Sudan. An Egyptian army under General Hicks was annihilated near El Obeld. Lete in 1884 a strong force of Egyptians under Satorius Pasha and Baker Pashaided by detachments of Turkish and Italian infantry, was cut to pieces by Osman Digma.

It was the German "Imperator" and was taken over by the British during the World War, just as America took the "Vaterland" from the Germans and named it "Leviathan." The thing is like three combined hotels, with all modern fixtures and appliances, including elevators, and a vast army of employees. So far we have not seen a single colored employee, nor another colored passenger, and these white people would not feel flattered a bit if they knew how lonesome we feel. But we will get a lot of work done on this ship, if we do not have to waste too much time "feeding the fishes." It is now about twenty-four hours since I wrote the last paragraph—and I have not contributed to the board and keep of the Atlantic fish yet. Of course, y in Harle By EDGAR M.

Con- sequently, the colored voters may not, and do not, influence the poli- cies of that organization. tend its meeting he may become county committee white citizen acco- of the State of N moment that he he is told that such recognition colored leader of The question may be asked, what difference does it make whether colored men or women are on the Executive Committee of Tammany Hall just so long as jobs are given out to the colored citizen? The answer is that just so long as colored citizens will vote the Democratic ticket, just so long should they have a voice in deciding, not only the volume of jobs that they will get, but also the quality of jobs they are to receive. And further, since the political slates are mostly decided upon by the members of the Tammany Executive Committee, such positions as we now get are left entirely to the discretion of the committee, which, as we well know, will always conveniently make the interest of the colored citizen the very last order of business of the committee. Having no voice in the committee the colored Democrat is helpless. It may be seen then that this organization, which saw the light of day as a radical organization, is now by the very mature of its existence a conservative political and civic instrument and a handle to the political progress of the Harlem and New York City Negro. But, you may ask, is not Ferdinand Q. Morton the leader of the United Colored Democracy considered as big as the leader of the Tammany Hall. Of course not; and even if he were, the progress of the masses is not based upon the estimation of the leader, but rather upon the contents of the leadership in terms of the kind of progress desired. Take the situation as it obtains in the Harlem district: In the three largest districts in Harlem a colored man may join the local assembly district club; he may at- In the Sudan in 1834, at the head of 10,000 Dervishes, Osman broke a British square by a wild charge and temporarily captured British guns, Sir Horbart Kitchener, afterward Lord Kitchener, then a colonal, captured his camp, but Osman later won it back. The old man's last effort was made in 1898, when at the head of 35,000 men he again attacked the British. A few years later Osman was made chief emir by Abdullah E Talaiht, the Khalifa of the Sudan. He was the only lending emir who escaped death or capture when the Khalifa was slain in battle by the British forces under General Wingate in November, 1899. He managed to get into hiding as he always had done when the British got within touch of any force of Mahdhs with which he was associated, but eventually in January the following year several expeditions rounded him up in the hills near Saakim. The British made certain that his strategy would no longer be employed against the whites, for they sent him to prison, where he remained in solitary confinement for twenty-two years. it is not too late; there will be plenty of fish on tomorrow. We are going: twenty-five knots an hour but we will not outrun all the fish. The weather is good, really warm and sunny all this Thanksgiving Day. The wind has not been so high and the waves do not much disturb this great ship. I have avoided the little feedings of tea and cakes between the regular meals, which so many greedy passengers take simply because it is free. Tonight we shall have a real American Thanksgiving dinner on this English boat, and tomorrow night an impromptu concert by the chance artists. There are orchestral concerts in the lounge during the tea times, and in the dining room during lunch and dinner. ALL WHITE PEOPLE NEED IS A CHANCE As we have remarked before, there seems to be no other Negro person on this ship in any capacity. And aren't white people "funny?" It makes no difference how bright and intelligent they may be, it always takes them at least twenty-four hours to find out that you are human. On about the second day a few of the bravest will edge up to you and start a conversation, timidly, as if they were tend its meetings and sessions: he may become a member of its county committee, the same as a white citizen according to the laws of the State of New York, but the moment that he seeks recognition he is told that he must receive such recognition only through the colored leader of the United Colored Democracy, a man whom he may never have seen and in whose district he has never lived. A man, perhaps, whose club he has never entered. This is so, not because the leader of the regular assembly district desires that you have recognition through a "JimCrow" colored leader, but because the policy of Tammany Hall as instituted by Richard Croker was that all of the colored voters should come under the one central organization. The present leaders of Tammany Hall do not see wherein the colored voter has made any advances, politically, since that time. Thirty-odd years have passed away in the life of the colored Democrat; thousands of colored voters have come to vote the Democratic ticket; many colored men have had the leadership of the organization since that time; the leadership of Tammany Hall itself has changed from the hands of the ordinary Irish thick-headed gangfighting kind to the hands of a college bred ex-judge, who claims that the day of the Tammany Hall rough-neck has passed. Yet, this same gentleman can see no change in the personnel of the registered colored Democrats during the past thirty years. Of course, it must not be concluded that the white leader of Tammany Hall is to blame entirely for this situation; for the present colored leader is afraid of any change which might come to the colored Democratic voter both in leadership and affiliation. He fights shy and does nothing to bring about this change. In 1921, Leader Charles Francis Murphy, deceased, was told that the colored people were entirely satisfied with the present form of Columbia Teacher Discusses Africa War Fought to Make That Continent Safe for Europeans HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—Discussing economic conditions in Africa, Miss Mabel Carney of Teachers College, Columbia University, and a well-known authority in the field of rural education, stated to the faculty and students of Hampton Institute, in her address here Wednesday evening, that it is not only the territory of Africa that the European governments want, but her trade. For this reason she believes Europe is jealous of the American hold on Africa. For, although America owns no land in Africa, commercially she is supreme. This same situation of Euro- --- EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS afraid you were going to explode or hit them. And then some of the still more timid souls will dare the same thing, and from that time on human relations are established with you, unless they all be people from Mississippi or Alken. So I have concluded that all white people need is a chance; they have got to find out you are human, in every case. One experience does not stand them in good stead for the next case; they take up each case anew on its own evidence. To be frank, I think they usually wait and approach you after they see that you don't care a damn whether they do or not. But if you give them a man's chance, you will find out, in the end, that they are all human, just like the rest of us. LIQUORS AND Beers and books evidently enjoy a different respect on this boat: near the lounge room here is the book section, with shelves of all sorts of volumes. The attendant will let you look in and select a book at your request. At other times the doors are kept locked, but they are only thin wooden doors with many glass panels that could be cracked with a tap. How differently with the affiliation and that as a test of his opinion he offered the increased registration as proof. So, as things are now, it is the order of the day in the colored organization that a colored voted is differently affiliated with his party than is a Jew, Italian, Pole, or other non-native voter. The American Negro abuses the Democratic Party of the South for its "Jim-Crow policies and praises the Tammany Hall Democracy for its "Jim-Crow" practices! Perhaps this is according to Bert Williams' well known definition of orthodoxy and heterodoxy. It will be remembered that Bert said that orthodoxy was the other fellow's doxy, while heterodoxy was his own doxy. As a result of all of this "Jim-Crowism" in our own midst, every time that the colored Republicans go to the leaders of their party with a new program for the political advancement of the group they are told that the Negro Democrats are satisfied and why do the Republicans fight all the time. The present condition in the Democratic organization was brought about by the death of Robert N. Woods, who was then leader. It had been his oft-expressed desire to change the "Jim-Crow" way of affiliating with Tammany Hall. After his death a vicious war took place between factions of the United Colored Democracy, and since it all took place on the threshold of the 1916 mayoralty elections, Mr. Murphy appointed a committee to conduct the affairs of the organization, which committee afterwards consented to the election of the present leader. Then as now he did nothing, and consequently both sides of the controversy felt that he was neutral and would serve the interest of both sides. The result has been that the United Colored Democracy has made no progress, and has actually acted as a millstone around the necks of the colored Republicans. Several fights have taken place to unhorser the present leader, but pean jealousy over Africa was one of the chief causes of the World War. "The war was not fought so much to make the world safe for democracy as to make Africa safe for European Powers," stated Miss Carney. "Germany now wants back what she had to give up and Italy is looking for something that she can call her own. "The native thinking people of Africa are awakening to the realization that the country is out of their control; they feel their racial inheritance has been slipping away from them and they are unhappy over it. Some European countries, however, are doing all they can, through education, to give Africa back to the native people, and the country doing the most in this respect is Great Britain—Africa's best friend." Speaking of the feeling towards America, Miss Carney said that the African look to America as a golden land which will give them everything they need. They are eager for more missionaries; they want help educationally; but most of all they look to America to help them solve the race problem. "Because we have Christianity and education here in America, they feel we should lead them in the matter of race New Testament Bibles, 25c and up. Hymn and Prayer Books, 75c and up.

There you see solid iron doors, with double locks, and the small windows have heavy iron screening reinforced by thick iron bars. Evidently it is the experience of this ship that the passengers are much more apt to go for its liquors than to go for its books. QUEENS AND MILLIONAIRES There is a queen tucked away on this boat. Her name is Marle, and her present home, is Roumane; but she is a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of England, and is therefore a first cousin to King George the Fifth. She may be seen sometimes passing from the bath, in a dainty blue dressing gown, and expertly balancing a cigarette between her fingers, bowing congenially to the kow-towing stewards. She has the "royal suite." This was a German boat until the British took it during the World War, and that royal suite was intended for William the Third, but he never got a ride in it. But Cousin Marle rides free. We asked a knowing Britisher how queens can get a royal suite for nothing when it costs a poor fellow nearly $200 to come second class. "Oh, it's a good advertise- they were of such a kind that even if they had been successful they would have brought no progress to the community, for they were headed by men whose desire it was to perpetuate the United Colored Democracy with its evil smelling "Jim-Crow" policy of affiliation. Whenever one argues that the present form of affiliation should be broken up, one is asked whether one does not desire to see a colored man leader over colored people in the same way that white people are leaders over white people. If this question did not pertain to one of the most vital phases of the life of the Harlem Negro, it would be well to laugh at the simple-mindedness of the person capable of advancing such a question. It is plain that when the Jews or the Italians decided to take control of their political destinies they were not interested in leading Jews or Italians. They were only interested in getting control of the plums and patronage which came to their districts, regardless of who other than they resided in that community. They knew that as long as they were not represented on the Executive Committee: of Tammany Hall that their lot in politics would be limited to the whims and the desires of the Irish who then were the bosses in New York politics. True, there were many individual Jews who held sway over their fellow citizens as a czar holds sway over his subjects, but they had not the power to elect or appoint him to the office of leader, nor the power to remove him except by brute force. They consequently demanded and finally received the right to say who the leader should be. Today, they control the politics in all of the districts of the City of New York in which they live in numbers. We believe that a colored man should be the leader of his district; we believe that he should have the right to the highest position of trust within the rift of the adjustment. That is our obligation to Africa. And here in America there is no institution which has made a greater contribution to this problem than Hampton Institute." Miss Carney concluded her tribute to Hampton Institute by saying that "there is no institution on face of the earth mentioned more in Africa than Hampton." Miss Carney travelled 25,000 miles on her trip which took her along both the west and east coasts of Africa and some distance into the interior. She was particularly struck with the cleanliness of the natives, their generous spirit and ment for the ship," said he: "Why?" we asked, "does the 'Beringaria' need any advertising? Everybody on the seven seas must know of this great ship." Then he explained: "Yes, but after the Queen rides in that suite every American millionaire and his wife for the next two years will try to get it at any price. His wife will like to tell her friends that she had the royal suite in which the Queen of Roumania had ridden previously. "That's how it was when the Prince of Wales came over. The suite he had 'occupied' brought in a good steady stream of American millionaire money for several years afterwards." I suppose this Britsher could risk being frank to me on this point because he knew that I was not one of the American millionaires. Well, much water has run under the ship since we wrote the first paragraph or so of this note. We have traveled about three days and five hours at the rate of more than 550 miles of water a day. So far we have had beautiful weather and no sickness. The fish must be woefully disappointed. Perhaps they think this ship is loaded with pikers. electorate; especially do we believe that a colored man should be leader in the Harlem political districts where the colored voters are in the majority; but we submit that this can only be achieved when the colored man surrenders to the normal functions and workings of the election law, when he submits his name annually to the members of the local county committee elected by the voters for the purpose of representing them in party councils. We are of the opinion that the colored Democrats in the Twenty-first and Nineteenth Districts could, if they had a regular form of affiliation, elect a colored man to the leadership of those two districts. We also know that there has not been a regular election under even this "Jim-Crow" organization in the United Colored Democracy in over five years. How do we know this? Well, there are more than 500 Democrats who, in response to a questionnaire sent out in 1921, said that there has been no notice sent out of any election, and since that time the questionnaire sent out each year has brought a similar reply. The time has come when a non-partisan committee (non-partisan in the sense of not representing any of the known factions within the Democratic party) must call upon the leader of Tammany Hall and convince him that this method of affiliation is distasteful to the colored voter. This must be done for the sake of political and individual advancement. This misfit organization should be made to conform to the modern desires of the colored citizen, no matter how many self-styled leaders will lose their jobs and their conceit. This must be done because no progress is possible by the colored Republicans until such time as this great October child—the United Colored Democracy—is made to fuse within the lines marked out by the wheels of political progress, and take its place among the instruments of progress which the community is constructing today for its use and benefit tomorrow. their unranging interest in America (Preston News Service.)

MEDICINAL WHISKEY I PINT EVERY 10 DAYS WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Regulation of Hour prescriptions, mixed by the Volstead act as one pint, containing not more than one half pint of alcohol to one patient with days—was upheld by the United States Supreme Court, Monday. The fight against prescription limitation was brought by Dr. Samuel W. Lambert of New York. He argued this was unreasonable, unconstitutional and unauthorized by the Eighteenth Amendment.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. DEC. 15. 1926 Prejudice Hampers U. S. in Haiti Miss Emily Balch, Former Wellesley Professor Addresses People's Institute. After studying a survey which she had made with five other persons, Miss Emily Balch, who addressed the weekly meeting of the People's Institute of Newark, expressed herself as not in favor of United States imperialism in its protectorate of Haiti. Miss Balch, former professor of economics at Wellesley College, one time associate editor of the New York Times three years worker at the League of Nations headquarters at Geneva, had been asked to speak on "Why Are We in Haiti?" Miss Balch outlined the history of the country, described the social and economic conditions of its people, and gave both sides of the question. There is value, she asserted, in the work done by the United States there in its control and in the keeping of order. But her things such a racial prejudice and lack of trust by the Haitians of Americans The population of the Island is of two kinds: The mulattoes of French and Haitian blood are the city people and have what culture and wealth there is. The other type is the black peasant. Navy is Southern. Miss Balch said that the United States Navy is much more Southern in aspect than Northern, and since the U. S. Marines have the power in Haiti, the relationship is not that of equals to equals. On the other hand, the Haitians, while living in a land often troubled by strife, had independence and their own social divisions, within their own race. This attitude of the Haitian is the equal of other races, confronted with the attitude of the American that he is inferior because of his black skin, is not productive of harmony. Each resents the other. There is a feeling in Haiti that the United States is seeing means of getting a hold on South America on solely for her own purposes. Miss Balch concluded. Thousands to Attend Inzugural by Radio ALBANY. Dec. 13. With a big radio hookup, tens of thousands of persons will, in a way, "attend" the inaugural of Governor Alfred S.

The inaugural will be someplace over the bay than two years ago, and will set under way at 12:15 o'clock and should be over within an hour, at the latest.

We will be six State Trooners on hand to handle the crowds and to serve us as helpers. These will include detachments from White Plains, Malone, Stilney, Troy and Oneida, Motion picture companies are making elaborate preparations for a quick transportation of films of the inaugural back to New York City for showing New Year's night.

Women Hold Interracial Meeting Face Unpleasant Facts and Plan for Improvement of Conditions BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 13.—Pledging themselves to seek more adequate educational provisions for the educated children of Alabama, better public health facilities, and the provision by the State of an institution for the care of delinquent Negro girls, the woman's section of the Alabama State Committee on Interracial Co-operation held its annual meeting here, with an attendance of fifty representative women from over the State. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Peyton A. Eubank of Birmingham and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: Chairmen, Mrs. J. H. McCoy, president of Athens College, and Mrs. R. H.

Resolutions were adopted calling attention to the fact that the amount expended for the education of white children in Alabama is $19.61 per child, as against $7.72 for the colored child; that one teacher is provided for every 44 white children of school age and one for every 102 Negro children; that the amounts expended for buildings and equipment are more than six times as much for the white child as for the colored, and other provisions in proportion.

Wednesday, December 15, 1926 THE Annual Message THE social well-being of our country requires our constant effort for the amelioration of race prejudice and the extension to all elements of equal opportunity and equal protection under the laws which are guaranteed by the Constitution. The Federal Government especially is charged with this obligation in behalf of the colored people of the nation. Not only their remarkable progress, their devotion and their loyalty, but our duty to ourselves under our claim that we are enlightened people require us to use all our power to protect them from the crime of lynching. Although violence of this kind has very much decreased, while any of it remains we cannot justify neglecting to make every effort to eradicate it by law. The education of the colored race under Government encouragement is proceeding successfully and ought to have continuing support. An increasing need exists for properly educated and trained medical skill to be devoted to the service of this race.—President Coolidge. Why Blame Baumes Laws? SHOULD JUDGES be made mere automatons in dealing with criminals This is the question now being discussed by the judges themselves, by district attorneys, by newspaper editors and by the general public since the Baumes SHOULD JUDGES be made mere automatons in dealing with criminals? This is the question now being discussed by the judges themselves, by district attorneys, by newspaper editors and by the general public since the Baumes laws went into effect, requiring that judges sentence fourth offenders to imprisonment for life. THEORETICALLY, judges should not be made automatons in dealing with persons convicted of crime, no matter what the degree of the crime or the number of previous convictions registered against the defendant, and this theory was in effect in this State until the enactment of the Baumes laws, except in capital offenses. BUT THIS SYSTEM did not work. Instances were too numerous where chronic offenders, for unknown reasons and without due regard for the safety of citizens, were permitted by district attorneys and judges to plead guilty to crimes in a lesser degree than that stipulated in their indictment. As a result the criminal element of the State's population built up a systematized method of defense whereby the penalty imposed rarely fitted the crime as defined by law. The Baumes laws seek to rectify this disgraceful situation and if they are irksome to the judges they have themselves to blame. TAKE, for instance, the case of "Bum" Rodgers, who was recently returned to Sing Sing; Rodgers began his career of crime at the age of thirteen, when he was committed to the Catholic Protectory as a juvenile delinquent, and who, before he became of age, was convicted of petty larceny, violation of parole and of possessing a blackjack. Between 1916 and 1922—after he became EDITORIAL PAGE of age—he was convicted of assault and robbery, burglary, carrying concealed weapons and violation of the parole given him by Governor Smith in 1920. YET, in 1924, after serving several terms in Sing Sing, a judge gave him a suspended sentence following his conviction of carrying concealed weapons. The following year he was convicted of assault and shooting a policeman after a robbery. He received a mere five-year sentence. In all Rodgers was convicted thirteen times, served eleven terms in correctional and penal institutions, but never in his life served a full term. HIS ABILITY to escape punishment is a reflection upon all judges, district attorneys and the Governor of the State, and it is just such cases as his that have caused the Legislature to enact a law which takes away the discretionary power of judges in meting out sentences to fourth offenders, and which may yet find it necessary to limit the paroling, commuting and pardoning power of the Governor. IT IS ENCOURAGING that the Baumes laws have been upheld by the Supreme Court of the State, and if Governor Smith will refrain from commuting sentences of criminals like Ambrose Ross, who was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death in the electric chair, and be a little more sparing with his pardons and paroles, headway may be made against crime in the State. Fisk's New President FISK UNIVERSITY, like Howard and Lincoln Universities, has seemingly found a way out of her difficulties in the election of Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones to the presidency of the school. Comparatively speaking, Dr. Jones is a very young man. Nevertheless, he has taken to Fisk a new interpretation of Negro education in the South. Many months ago, when the presidency was first offered to him and before he accepted the post, Dr. Jones insisted that if he went to Fisk University he would go as an educator, and not as a missionary. He also made it clear that he had no preconceived ideas as to the kind of education the Negro should receive. THIS MISSIONARY SPIRIT, which Fisk's new president refuses to recognize, will be found at the bottom of all the difficulties Negro schools and colleges have had during the past year—a spirit which refused to meet the Negro student on equal ground and which would forever prevent him from evolving into full manhood. LEGALLY, Editors William Warley and I. Willis Cole, both of Louisville, Kentucky, may have been guilty of libel in that they TRUTHFULLY forecast the fate that would be meted out to a Negro accused of assault and rape, and that meted out to a white man accused of the same offense. THE DEATH in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison, late last Thursday night, of former Patrolman John J. Brennan for the murder of a Brooklyn glazier should serve as a gentle reminder to other police officers of the wrong kind that they may be called upon to answer for their misdeeds. THAT BIG HOLE in the family budget is where the turkey went through. WHO REMEMBERS when a girl with an unattractive face had to let it go at that?

Payments of deposits are given them, and they are employed in the highest positions of trust and reliability. In addition, we have on our collection staff twelve colored men, who handle the collection of thousands of dollars continually—and these men have secured their most well-deserved positions of responsibility on the basis of hard, industrious work and length of service with the company.

December 9, 1926 South African Church Wars on Charleston A copyright dispatch to the New York Times states that the Christian churches of South Africa have declared war on the Charleston on the ground that it is essentially a Kaffir dance and that the performance of it by whites lowers their prestige in the native eyes. "The Very Rev. W. A. Palmer dean of Johannesburg, who spent twenty years among the natives as a missionary, has produced photographs taken ten years ago, showing the primitive Bantu natives dancing the Charleston," says the Daily Express Capetown correspondent. "When a native sees the Eropean dancing nowadays," said the dean, "he must wonder why the missionaries invariably tried to stamp out the old native tribal dances. He sees the Europeans today dancing in a style similar to that of the larbaric dances which take place at his own bread." "Other religious ministers in South Africa have stressed the effect of the Charleston on the native mind. "The Charleston is called a modern dance," said one missionary. "I have seen the natives dancing it in the jungles of Africa for the past nineteen years." Simultaneously with the starting of the campaign, notices EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES Negro Advancement (From the New York Times.)

By granting a concession to citizens of the United States to establish a rubber plantation within its borders the African Republic of Liberia has opened the way to revival of popular interest here in its affairs. The philanthropists of a century ago who founded Liberia were a notable company. "The National Colonization Society of America" formed to provide a free home on the continent of their racial origin for the "Tree people of color" domiciled in the United States, had among its members such distinguished men as Bushrook Washington, Carroll, James Madison, Henry Clay, and J. H. B. Carlo, of which he served it as president; Rufus King, William E. Channing and Benjamin Lundy. Thousands of others were among those who sought to put into operation the scheme to restore some of the Negroes of America to their ancestral homeland.

The scheme did not work and it was soon over shadowed by other developments of the race problem in this country. However, it attracted the attention of humane men in other lands.

A. ROGERS THE NEW YORK TIMES that they could get jobs at home they couldn't get in the North. One blacksmith, working at his trade, said the best job he could get in Detroit was as a helper. Everywhere I found Negroes in the South doing work, mechanical work that could have been secured only with great difficulty be the job. But they often ought to be no cause for surprise at this, since a large portion of the labor there is black, just as in the North the bulk of it is white. Further proof that the migration is economic is the fact that there is a continuous migration of northern Negroes to the South—of teachers, clerks, accountants, stenographers, insurance agents, who come to fill surplus white collar jobs in Negro concerns. Many marry and themselves have assumed protective psychology, and even becoming anti-North, white many are heartily sick of it but remain for the money's sake. These facts may seem to bear out the southern white's statement that the South is the best place for the Negro, but it points to something worse: It shows that the Cancanianized Negro, here as well as in the West Indies and South Africa, is so much of a white man with inversion for himself that he hasn't sufficient group-sympathy to beirked by conditions that would be most galling to the whites were they in the Negro's place. When the southern white man says the best place for the Negro is the South, he is thinking not of the Negro, but of himself. He prefers to employ Negroes in certain capacities or to have them around mainly because of lower wages, color ogism. the Negro's definitely fixed social position, and for sex excretion. I have always felt from my experiences in America, Europe and elsewhere that white persons have less real color or prejudice than mulattoes and blacks. What the whites want are economic and sexual exploitation of the Negro, and as Olmsted pointed out in his "Slave States," race relations are bordial or disturbed in proportion as these forms of exploitation are permitted or resisted. For instance, the Jin-Crow law of Georgia expressly provides that when a colored man travels as the servant of white he rides in the white coach. This is the law, written or unwritten, over the entire South, and includes convicts in the charge of white sheriff. Between Durham and Greensboro is a bus line that will take Negroes only in these capacities, hence one way to wipe out the Jin-Crow car is for all Negroes to become domestics or what is called. At aim is as was said, is the social degradation of the Negro. in order that his labor and his sex power may be had in the cheapest market. Hence, too many Negroes, white men at heart, demand segregation. I talked casually with many native whites, and I found among them a great dislike for the foreign born white, particularly the Jew, who was positively detested, and who is saved only by his color from mob attacks. When the white foreigner goes South, instead of being exploited he becomes an explorer. He starts in by invading the southerner's special preserve, the Negro, and having fattened on that, turns in and exploits the would-be explorer. And so for that and other reasons the Negro gets the preference at the rougher work. At times he even gets a white collar job, minus the white collar. Wearing that would be "social equality." For instance, in Atlanta, the white nurses refused to wear the same color of uniform as the colored; in La Grange, Georgia, a textile town, the company houses for the white are painted white; those for the colored, chocolate. To have them all of the same color would be wrong. Warehouse employees speaking Another Emancipation Coming MUSIC NORTHERN-BORN NE- GROES, filled with horr or at tales of lynching and segregation in the South, are inclined to think that the migration to the North was due, primarily, to those things. Beyond the few who were chased by the mob, it is safe to say that the great majority came because of oppression in the pocketbook, and they saw relief in the North, or came because of better business projects. In short, they boiled with indignation, not at the lynchings, but at the size of the pay envelope. Return to America in the North they returned to the South in hordes, the majority remaining, of course. Many workers told me with some heat officers that has spelled political dissatisfaction and economic disaster for the islands since we acquired them almost ten years ago. Incidentally the sentence of Mr. Francis calls attention to the unfairness of compelling a man to work out a fine at the rate of $1 a day.

Industrial and Economic Conditions are from a half to three-quarters of what they are in the North except in such lines as bricks laying, plastering, coal mining. Many are in the union and get the union wage, but complain, as in the North, about discrimination. Housemaids get six to eight dollars to the North's ten and fifteen; porters, ten to fifteen to the North's eleventh and twenty-five; farm hands, a dollar and a quarter to the North's four. Food costs about the same, but rent is cheaper and the general standard of living is lower. There are exceptions, however, in Birmingham, where wages are almost as high as in New York, Birmingham Negroes with plenty of ready money, have perhaps a higher per capita wealth than elsewhere in the South. The labor in Birmingham, however, I understood, was of a migrant nature. It is a stopping off place for Chicago and the Middle West, and for those further South, who after making a rapid stake in the foundries hurry on. This had the effect of cheapening labor, the blame for which was placed on greedy labor agents. Wages, as was said, were generally low, and the employers sought to keep them so, when competently informed that they Sears, Roebuck and Company suggest paying Negro work at Atlanta fifty cents an hour that the Chamber of Commerce objected; the same in Norfolk, Va, when the Ford plant attempted to pay the Ford wage to Negroes, and other instances. Nevertheless, I found particularly among domestics a sentimental attachment for the job. One defect of Negro psychology is that it is too efuse over small merces. The Negro worker is too inclined to think that an employer does him a favor by hiring him. The South, with the greatest undeveloped resources, agricultural and perhaps mineral, is the new goal for northern ital. The textile industry have practical expertise. Departed New England, Birmingham, not Pittsburgh, is rapidly becoming the steel city; North Carolina is progressing rapidly; almost everywhere there as signs of industrialization. The South, with the raw material on the spot, low taxes and plenty of cheap, unorganized labor, adult and child, is the northern capitalist's paradise. But this will not be for long, as industrialization means increased education, which brings increased desires, which mean greater unrest and a demand for better wages, which is going to be had only by unionization; hence, it is only a matter of time when the steel and textile workforce will be unipersonal in the North, moving above, with the Negro worker experiencing a similar evolution, there is going to be an industrial triangle—white worker, Negro worker, capitalists. During periods of unemployment or strikes there are going to be two opposing armies of labor, one white, the other black. Northern race riots after the war were, at bottom, incited by competition for the job. At East St. Louis and Chicago the Negroes were strangers, but in this case they are at home, and in great numbers. The whites then must either take in the Negroes, or they will find them pitted against them when they demand better wages—a step the whites surely will be forced in spite of such scandalary programs.
