DEATH IN ICY HUDSON OVERTAKES MEN ON WAY TO WORK IN NEW JERSEY Colorful News "Movies" By THE CAMERAMAN PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Christianity; Truth; Tolerance! ARE Christians tolerant when they face the truth? If not, they should renounce either Christianity or Tolerance, and go their way commiserating upon their weakness. Recently, while speaking in western Pennsylvania, President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University made reluctant but truthful reference to the fact that Great Britain had been one of the world's foremost advocates of, and practitioners in, the realm of slavery. President Johnson's statement was in general terms and without rancor or bitterness. Yet, certain Christian gentlemen (white) who owed allegiance to Great Britain thereafter assuaged their injured feelings by having printed in the "Christian Index," one of the many official organs of the great white church, a scathing criticism of Dr. Johnson for what they termed "discourtey" on the platform. The truth had hurt them and they knew of no other way of expressing their intolerant minds. Even so, President Johnson was kind and gentle in his references to Great Britain's past activities in the slave markets of the world. (Continued on Page 2.) DEMOCRAT SUSTAINED; HOWARD'S $368,000 TAKEN OUT Amount Was for Salaries, General Expenses and for Erection of New Girls' Dormitory By LOUIS R. LAUTIER WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 20.—The Howard University items, totaling $308,000, were stricken from the Interior Department Appropriation Bill Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 15, upon points of order made against each of them by Representative B. G. Lowery, Democrat, of Mississippi. The three items stricken were for salaries, $150,000; general expenses, $68,000, and for the construction of an additional dormitory building for young women. Mr. Lowery made the point of order that an appropriation to Howard University is not authorized by law. His points of order were sustained and the items were stricken from the Interior Department Appropriation Bill. Representative Louis C. Crampon, Republican, of Michigan, in charge of the Interior Department Appropriation Bill, appealed to Representative Lowery to withhold his point of order, but Mr. Lowery refused. A bill authorizing appropriations to Howard University was passed by the House on July 1 last, the closing day of the first session, but it was impossible for the Senate to pass it before adjournment. This bill is still pending in the Senate. In discussing annual appropriations to Howard University Representative Lowery said that the question is: "Shall we fasten upon our Government the permanent policy of sustaining a great univer- (Continued on Page 2.)

The youth was indicted for statutory rape upon 15-year-old Alleen Gaines. 55 West 137th street, early in the month of November. Through the efforts of Frederick D. Johnson, Esq., 2303 Seventh avenue, attorney for the defendant, Judge McIntyre allowed him to plead guilty to a crime of a much lower degree and then suspended the date of sentence, placing him on a two-year probation. Cecil Freeman, 18. indicted for statutory rape on Ethel Farrell, 15. was also allowed to plead guilty to third degree assault in the Court of General Sessions, before Judge Allen, on Friday. December 17, and placed on probation. The couple had roomed at No. 155 West 143d street for about two months. During this time their acts of intercourse had resulted in the girl's pregnancy.

The magistrate's summons in the matter was sworn out on October 22, returnable in the Martigs- trate's Court, Washington Heights. On that hearing the magistrate thought the charge serious enough to hold the defendant for the Court of Special Sessions. The sentence imposed on the defendant was a fine of $25 or five days in the workhouse. It was alleged that Dr. Raluh Young, 234 West 130th street, took stitches in the head of Dr. Norman as a result of the assault. 22 PAGES FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE Complete in 3 Sections SON N W JER TEN OF 33 R BODIES ID CAPTAIN U Breadwinners of Many Ha Christmas as Result of Disaster — Launch Sixty men, many of them keep watch in the gray darkn day on the West Ninety-sixth the cold Hudson River, dotte for them.

After having fatally shot Blackwell during an altercation in the Half street court address, Jackson, alias "Knocky," fled to the home of his uncle in Collington, Md. When he read in the newspapers that Blackwell had died, Jackson told the police, he decided to give himself up. He and his uncle went to High Bridge, Md., Tuesday, and Jackson had his uncle telephone the local police headquarters that Jackson would return to Washington on the 2:15 or 4:15 p. m.

Rescuing tugs picked up all those in sight in the river or clinging to the launch, low in the water. Then the abandoned boat was forgotten and drifted slowly up the river in the gathering light. Only a part of the pilot house and a few inches of the cabin trunk showed above the water. It was almost invisible in the gray, half-light. And from it there was no sound, but twenty-seven dead men lay piled against the aft hatch, the water freezing on the edges of their clothing. John Rohweder, white, of 655 Pallisade avenue. Jersey City, operator of the launch, was arrested Monday night on a charge of homicide and placed under guard in the Knickerbocker Hospital. Just what caused the accident nobody seemed able to determine yesterday. Some survivors said that the launch struck a huge cake of ice and stove a hole in her how through which water poured. But the police were not able to find a hole in the boat Others said that the boat was shoved over on her side by ramming an ice cake and filled. But when all the stories were put together it seemed that the heavily loaded boat—she was only forty-two feet long, and there were at least 60 men aboard—careened against an ice cake, and the men inside, rushing to the higher side to right her, forced her over until she filled with water. The tragedy was swift, almost concealed by darkness from those on share. Indeed, one ship passed within a few hundred feet, while men splashed in the water helpless, without seeing what had happened. Two quick blasts on the launch's whistle as she settled in the water drew the attention of tugs on the New Jersey shore, or the freezing river water would have claimed every man aboard. There were more than 100 men on the Ninety-sixth street pier when the launch drew alongside at about 6.30 o'clock for her first (Continued on Page 6.) INACCURACIES AND CORRECTIONS CORRECTION.

He would have him given "a practical and industrial education to make him a thrifty, self-sustaining citizen." On the question of the kind of education for the Negro, Mr. Lowery said that he is in agreement with the late Booker T. Washington, who founded Tuskegee Institute, and Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist. "Representative Meyer Jacobstein, Democrat of New York, who favored the appropriation, asked Mr. Lowery if he did not regard "the appropriation made out of the Federal public funds in support of agricultural and mechanical colleges and State colleges on a parity with the appropriation here provided for Howard University." The Interior Department Appropriation Bill without the Howard University items was passed by the House and sent to the Senate, where the stricken items will probably be restored.

In the morning, after the sun had come up, he said, he was awakened by a blow from some instrument wielded by Milton Blackwell, who was cursing and fighting him. The two men are said to have argued over Corinne Lemon. Jackson went upstairs, where he lived, got his gun and was admitted by Cortine Lemon. In a general mix-up between Blackwell and him. Jackson stated, the gun was discharged and without waiting to find out how badly Blackwell was injured he fled the scene and sought refuge with his uncle at Collington, Md.

He did not make detailed references to the ravages of British slavery in the West Indies, British Guiana and Cuba. He did not specify the years of African exploitation practised by Great Britain. He did not tell how that country had fattened itself upon the swarthy racking backs of African slaves, and of how, even now, the British wage scales in the English holdings in the Dark Continent are little more than adulterated slavery. Truly, Dr. Johnson spoke to the English gentlemen like a brother. Next time, however, he should speak to them like a father and lash their consciences with a detailed recital of the past fills of British slavery. Perhaps, then, they will seek Christian repentance—not Christian reprisal, if there is any such thing. Studying the Constitution THE legislatures of thirty-seven states have passed laws requiring definite courses of instructions in the United States Constitution which, next to the Holy Bible, is the greatest instrumental directorate of human rights ever conceived and written into the history of mankind. At present there are 200,500 teachers, white and colored, teaching the Constitution to four million school children, white and colored, in the United States. The course is compulsory in every state except Connecticut, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. It is not our pleasure at this time to be engaged in the pleasant duty of teaching the precious mandates of the United States Constitution. If we, however, were so engaged, we would, with human and racial feeling, point out, along with the things which the Constitution essays to provide, those for which it makes no provision. For instance, the Constitution does not prescribe for groups or classes; nor does it purport to favor any special social orders in America, any special sects, religions, or races. The Constitution does not provide for any particular kind of Americanism. What it does provide for and construe in its purposes constitutes AMERICANISM ITSELF, which does not exist in grades or persecutions. The Constitution proclaims the fact that every natural-born or naturalized citizen of America is a citizen of the United States and of the State in which he resides; and the Constitution does not say that, because such citizen is far, far away from the nation's capital, he shall be DENIED the privileges and the immunities and the protection which the Constitution essays to create for all citizens of the United States of America. The Constitution does not deal in terms of "we" and "they" as to any particular types of American citizens. All of US are the democratic content of a democratic nation. The heritage of American citizenship is indeed a high heritage. And the unalloyed fulness of that heritage — NOTHING LESS — is what every American owes to every other American without regard to any description other than the description that DESCRIBES AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. Iowa Slayer Caught; Killed Police Captain BURLINGTON, Iowa. Dec. 13.—An armed guard surrounded the police station here as a large crowd watched the arrival of officers with Tex Jones. 30, paving laborer, accused of killing Police Captain Joe Feiley, white.

Polk was found guilty on the testimony of Joseph Spano, 12, white, whose address was not given. Under the examination of Asst. Dist. Atty. Mentiband, the boy told the court that Polk had sought to induce himself and several companions to "rob an apartment" in a house on 181st street and Lafontaine avenue. "Is Liquor of More Value Than Life?" "We must demand of the President, that he see to it that the Fourthteen Amendment is as vigorously enforced as the Eighteenth. The question which we must put to the President is this: Is a glass of whisky worth more than the life of a Negro American?" Thus spoke S. R. Williams at a mass meeting against lynching held, Sunday afternoon at Imperial Hall, 120th street, near Seventh avenue. The meeting was held under the auspices of the National Negro Development Union and the National Negro Center party. Mr. Williams, who presided, denounced "Nigger Heaven," by Carl Van Vechten, and tore two pages from a book he held in his hand. After reading several passages he asked what should be done with them to show proper resentment of their contents. When a chorus of voices shouted "Burn 'em up" he ignited the two pieces of paper and held them aloft until the flames had consumed them. He said the two pages were perhaps the most objectionable in the book, but that there might be a later ceremony for the burning of the entire book. Seventy-five dollars was donated to pay the expenses of the delegation to Washington to protest to the President. Attorney Ruth W. Whalley and Mr. Williams were the delegates named. The principal speaker also counseled that if the Government would not protect the Negro in his legal rights he must act to protect himself. In that event, he advised, the Negroes must organize, say as the "Black Hawks." to fight the Ku Klux Klan. Mrs. Whaley, W. H. Des Varney of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and Attorney James P. Hill also spoke. Son Fails to Break Late Rev. John R. White's Will John R. White, Jr., 772 St. Nicholas avenue, after several unsuccessful attempts through his attorneys, French & French, of 139 West 135th street, to produce in court certain alleged material witnesses in support of his efforts to break the will of his deceased father, the Rev. John R. White, late of 206 West 135th street, finally admitted at the third setting of the case for trial on Dec. 13 that he was unable to contest the will, and consequently withdrew his objections in open court. The first blow to his case came when Surrogate John P. O'Brien of the New York County Surrogate's Court granted the application of Counselor William B. Bush, 2305 Seventh avenue, attorney for the estate of John R. White, deceased, for an order requiring the said contestant to serve a verified bill of particulars setting forth the particulars upon which he based his objections to the will. This information John R. White, Jr., the contestant, was unable to give, and from then on his attorneys struggled in vain. The will was sustained, and Mrs, Tennie E. White, contestant's mother and residuary legatee, proceeded to qualify as executrix under the will. Abandon Auto After Running Down Boy Traveling at a high rate of speed, an automobile struck, knocked down and dangerously injured little 11-year-old Vincent Cunningham. 21 Edgecombe avenue, at 1451st street and Bradhurst avenue. Friday. After striking the child the machine was brought to a stop a block away and abandoned. Several witnesses of the accident gave chase as they saw the driver of the car flee from his machine. The man made good his escape. The little boy was picked up and rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he was attended by Dr. Robson. He suffered from deep cuts about the head, arms, legs and body and is said to have several bone fractures. The auto was abandoned at 144th street and Bradhurst avenue, and is alleged to be owned by James Lacey. 54 Bradhurst avenue. Detectives Garvey and Flinter of the West 135th Street Police Station were assigned to the case. Major Wright in Demand as Emancipation Orator PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20.—Major R. R.

Goes Out of Way to Insult Negroes Goes Out of Way to Insult Negroes Martin W. Littleton Shows Bad Taste at Bar Martin W. Littleton, an internationally known attorney, went out of his way to use the word "Nigger" in a speech at the County Lawyers' Association's annual dinner at the Biltmore Hotel on Saturday evening. Mr. Littleton spoke as a representative of the Bar and in his remarks took occasion to denounce those persons in high places who carelessly criticize the methods of the courts. He said that he had listened on Friday in the United States Senate to an attack made on one of the District Courts, in which two men had very recently been acquitted, and continued that the man who made the attack was a United States Senator. He maintained that the attack upon this court had no basis in fact and was only made because the Senator was protected by the right of privilege. Then he added: But how can we expect any more from a man who before he became Senator spent his time shooting unarmed "Niggers" and beating unarmed white men. The dinner was attended by about 1.400 members, one of whom was Attorney William L, Patterson of the firm of Dyett, Hall and Patterson, who took Mr. Littleton to task for the insult. INDICTMENT AGAINST DIXON QUASHED Arthur Dixon. 431 West 52d street, indicted for feloniously attacking a police officer during the month of November, walked out of the Court of General Sessions, Part I, on Friday a free man. Louis A. Lavelle, attorney for the defendant, in a preliminary manoeuvre before the day set for trial, convinced Assistant District Attorney O'Brien that the State did not have facts sufficient to convict Dixon, because the act was really committed by another man. Mr. O'Brien then moved that the indictment be quashed. Judge Allen granted the motion. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22, 1926 Negro Debating Team Defeats Trio From Oxford University First International Interracial Contest of Its Kind Held in Bethel African Church - Students Argue Against Eighteenth Amendment America's first international, interracial, intercollegiate debate was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church on Thursday evening, December 16, when a team from Oxford University, the oldest educational institution in England, met and, according to a vote of the audience, was defeated by a team from Lincoln University on the subject: "Resolved, That This House Opposes Any Change in the Eighteenth Amendment." This contest, unique in American collegiate history and significant in the annals of race relationships in America, attracted 1,800 people of both races. It was marked by the earnest and brilliant oratory of the Lincoln team and the sparkling wit and sarcasm of the English speakers. It was promoted by an interracial committee composed of members of the Urban League, the Federation of Churches, Lincoln alumni and kindred organizations. its worst," said Mr. Cary, amid applause. "We shall have advanced toward the ideal of Jesus." A large number of white people were scattered through the audience. The Lincoln debaters argued that any change in the Volstead Act would be, in effect, a change in the Eighteenth Amendment; that the present economic prosperity of the country is the result of prohibition; that the moral This debate was the last on the schedule of the English team, who are concluding a tour of this country in which they have met teams from all of the leading American colleges. They have won all, of their other debates and have argued either side of the prohibition question. It has been their custom to leave the decision to the vote of the audience. The vote on Thursday evening gave 803 votes to Lincoln and 376 for Oxford. The members of the Oxford team were Gyles Isham, Michael A. C. Franklin, and Patrik Monkhouse, each of whom have won considerable reputation in their own country in literary circles. The Lincoln team was composed of R. Edesros Turner of Arkansas, Mark M. Gibson of Oklahoma and R. Hurst Hill of Maryland. John R. Cary, treasurer of the Baltimore Urban League, who presided, said that he was becoming more and more convinced that there was in Baltimore a growing feeling of mutual regard and respect between the two races represented at the gathering. "When we have learned to judge a group by its best, rather than by its worst," said Mr. Cary, amid applause, "We shall have advanced toward the ideal of Jesus." A large number of white people were scattered through the audience. The Lincoln debaters argued that any change in the Volstead Act would be, in effect, a change in the Eighteenth Amendment; that the present economic prosperity of the country is the result of prohibition; that the moral, social and hygienic conditions have improved; that any change would be a concession to the criminal element; and that the present opposition to the law is but a temporary flare that will quickly die out. The Oxford team maintained that the issue of the debate was one of principle; that the evils of Federal interference with personal liberty were worse than the evils which prohibition was to have cured; that the present flouting of the law was breaking down the sacredness of the law; the Lincolnites had not proved that American prosperity was a result of prohibition; and that the experience of other countries had shown that other methods were more effective than prohibition. The rebuttal was even more spirited than the main speeches. Freed from their set speeches the Lincoln debaters were frequently more effective than they had been earlier in the evening, while the Oxford representatives had a greater opportunity to display their wit. The singing of several Negro spirituals by the Lincoln University quartette was well received.

Detectives Christiano and Burns of the West 135th street police station were assigned to the case. At the time of the attack Gladys was returning from the grocery store and was going through the poorly lighted hallway on the first floor where the man was concealed within the shadows of the stairs.

Also wish friends and patrons of my shop a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Min Fanny E. Gray. 222 West 135th street BEAUTY FASHION HOUSEHOLD HINTS THE FEMINIST VIEWPOINT JOURNALISM today is a profession. It is the medium through which readers are informed of "the things man does, sees, thinks and plans." Because of the very nature of a newspaper—in short, its mission—special privileges and courtesies have been and are granted to "members of the press," in so far as the public good is concerned. At no time has any paper the right to abuse those privileges. The regular sized newspaper has a fast increasing competitor—the tabloid. In New York City the commonly known daily tabloids are The New York Daily News, The Daily Mirror and Bernarr Macfadden's sheet—THE EVENING GRAPHIC. Any paper — regular sized or tabloid — has the right to conduct a campaign whenever it wants to do so. In fact, campaigns are considered a part of "good journalism." Yet, from an ethical standpoint, however, a campaign should have more than a monetary return for the paper itself or for the community at large. What can come from the present campaign of THE EVENING GRAPHIC? Will not readers, in time, lose faith in such headlines as "Negro Asks Square Deal" — the headline that graced the first page of the paper on December 16? Composite pictures, such as the one used on that same page, do more harm than good. Yes, a series of articles by James Craig Gordon on Harlem are campaign data. Some of the articles are informative, some have a reasonable timeliness in them, and still others are so far-fetched. In short, there is an obvious attempt on the part of the paper to sell "the only complete tabloid newspaper in America" to Harlem through cheap journalism, rather than to solve or help change the present Negro problem. For years the Negro has asked and demanded that the "n" in the name given him be capitalized. This paper, in launching a campaign for the Negro, does not even grant him that much consideration. James Weldon Johnson's name has been lengthened by the addition of a "t" (Johnston). He, by the way, is quoted occasionally. Let THE EVENING GRAPHIC revise its order, take a more clean-cut method of approach, and it may conduct a worth-while campaign.—T. E. B. The Beaux-Arts Club girls were hostesses for the party on Thursday evening, December 16. The Young Men's Division of the Y. M. C.A. were the special guests. Miss Hollis Carter is the pianist for the various club parties. The Christmas Carol service by the choir on Sunday afternoon was beautiful and impressive. The lights were soft and the chairs arranged informally. Miss Melva Price told the Christman story. At the end of the service, as the choir sang "Silent Night," the candles were lighted by "The Spirit of Christmas," and choir and audience marched out holding aloft the lighted candles and singing "O. Little Town of Bethlehem." No Longer Ashamed of Her Hair HOW she dreaded to go out where other girls could see her. How she disliked to meet "new" men. Her hair shamed her. Finally she used Nelson's Hair Dressing and now she goes out with her head held high for none of her girl friends has prettier hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing will make your hair beautiful, smooth, straight and glossy. You can almost see the difference overnight. Be sure you get the genuine. It comes in an attractive metal container, enclosed in a neat pasteboard box. If your druggist cannot supply you, both the Scalp and Hair Cleaner and the Hair Dressing will be sent direct on receipt of fifty cents in stamps. NELSON MANUFACTURING CO., RICHMOND, VA.

NING GRAP clean-cut metho worth-while ca The Cook Says--- Preserves of all kinds, more especially if they are in glass bottles, should be stored in a dark place. They deteriorate quickly in flavor if kept in a light place. Shin of beef makes a good beef a la mode. Cut it up the same as for a stew, brown the pieces in hot fat, then add water; cook in a pot, the same as for pot roast. Serve with gravy. Meat thus browned retains its juices and adds greatly to the flavor of the dish. Baked beans mashed and mixed with salad dressing make a good sandwich filling. --- --- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22, 1926. Do You Laugh at Your Children? Do You Laugh at Your Children? LENORA BAILEY. IF YOU please, Mother, may I please have some jelly on my toast, please." ceremoniously asked little Billy at the breakfast table. It was an unusually long speech for him, but he was very much in earnest about it. Mary. Billy's cousin, giggled. Billy's big blue eyes opened wide in surprise, then filled with tears. "Indeed you may. Son, here it is, all nice and thick. Don't you think that fine?" But the little fellow said nothing before he turned to look across at Mary. She had in the meantime received a message from his mother's eyes and was also serious. So he finished his breakfast contentedly. "Mary," said his mother, after Billy had gone out to play, "you are preparing to be a teacher and I can give you a helpful suggestion. Never laugh at little children. Laugh with them but never at them." "Why. Aunt Lenora? Will laughing hurt? What Billy said was very funny." "It was, indeed, and we can have a good laugh about it now that he is not here. We should not do it before him. He was trying to learn to say 'please.' I may have some trouble now to get him to try again." "We always laughed at William Bailey and Juanita when they did funny things. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards have the best time imaginable laughing at the mistakes of Dot and Eddle." "I know all that, but because of that very laughing William Bailey is convinced he is slow to learn, which is not true, while, by the same method, you have made Juanita think she is extra brilliant, which she is not. You have handicapped your brother for years to come and started the little sister on a path that will result in many hard humps before the conceit is taken out of her. Few people love a conceited child." "What about the Edwards children, then?" "You can plainly see the effect there is the way both children love to 'show off' continually. They are never satisfied unless they are the center of an admiring laughing, amusing group. They make things disagreeable when they are not." "Well, that is true, but I never thought about it before. Can we always keep from laughing?" "Yes. It may be a little hard, but when you remember how much is at stake you can exercise the proper amount of self-control."

Children need to be watched carefully, but not laughed at. As I said before, laugh with them all you wish. There's a great difference." The following are recipes for dainty Christmas candies: Stuffed Dates. Wash and dry one pound of dates, reserving two-thirds of the best and biggest dates to be stuffed. Stone them and chop the remaining one-third into bits, fill the cavities, and place half a pecan or English walnut in the top of each. Roll in granulated sugar. Fondant, colored or uncolored, may be used for the stuffing, but to be most toothsome nuts in some form should be used. Candied Orange Peel. Peel of four oranges, two cups sugar, one cup of water in which peel was cooked. Remove the orange peel from the fruit in quarters with a sharp knife, cover with cold water, bring to a boll and cook slowly until soft. Drain, retain the cooking water.

'Household Hints When pressing black ribbon, put it in cold water, then straighten it out and press immediately with a hot iron. The stiffening will remain almost as if the ribbon were new. If draperies are set afire, do not try to pull them down. Remove nearby objects, then use a wet broom to smother the burning pieces as they fall. The pockets of kitchen aprons are always catching on door handles, nails, etc. Try putting the pocket in the center of the apron. Thus the pockets can be reached by either hand and cannot catch on anything and tear. The poet who thought civilized man could not live without cooks ought to see us now.

Sara Washington Handsome Hands One of woman's great attractions is pretty hands. Peculiar as it may seem, men are attracted by beautiful hands as much as they are by beautiful feet, ankles or legs. I recal. readily an incident where a young Chicago attorney was first attracted to his wife by her beautiful hands. He was visiting Indianapolis, and while he was attending a church service, one Sunday morning, a young lady sitting near him leaned over to whisper to a friend in the pew ahead. In so doing she placed her pretty hands gracefully upon the pew. They were velvety smooth, fingers artistically long and her well-shaped nails continued the allure of the tapering hand. These exceptionally pretty hands were caught in the sweeping gaze of the young Chicago attorney and his attention was held there for several moments. Finally he noticed the lady's face, but his gaze dropped back to the strikingly attractive hands. They met some time later and were married. The gentleman in question often relates how he, perhaps, would not have noticed the girl he married FIVE had it not been for her beautiful hands. So it is obvious that every woman should pay strict attention to the condition of her hands. There is naturally no need to stress the point of keeping the nails well manicured. Now that we are gripped within the realm of wintery days we must take better care of our hands than ever before less they become rough, chapped and ashy. Keep them greased and oiled daily with cold cream or olive oil. Equal parts of spirits of camphor and glycerine is an excellent hand lotion. BEAUTY ANSWERS Mme.

New Britain Herald RIVER DISASTER FATAL TO 33 MEN Laborers on Way to Work Find Death in Waters of the Hudson SIX (Continued from Page 1.) load. Rohweder was captain, engineer, crew and everything else. When he reached the pier the waiting men, many of whom had answered an advertisement offering work, had been dancing about, clapping their hands and singing to keep warm. They sent up a shout of joy when they saw the launch, and Rohweder yelled up at them: "Hurry up. I'm late now; and I've got to get back and get the rest of this crowd over." CROWD ON THE BOAT. There was a rush for the Linseed King and in a few moments her cabin, not more than twenty-five feet long, was filled and three men were standing at, outside, just behind the cabin hatch. As Rohweder cast off his line and started his motor, three other men made a flying leap and landed just on the stern, slipping and catching at a hand-rail, laughing at the dangerous risk they had just taken to get aboard for a chance to beat their fellows to a job. The river near shore was jammed with ice floes and Rohweder went up with the tide, gradually trying to force his way toward open water in the middle, so that he could turn down stream and then work his way through the ice on the New Jersey shore to the Egewater dock. An eerie atmosphere of impending trouble seemed to oppress some of the workmen soon after they got out into the darkness of the stream, with ice crunching under the bow. One of them shivered with aprehension and said, "We ain't goin' to get to the other side, no air." and gazed ahead. Another laughed at him, and told him to "forget it." When the water began to pour in a few minutes later a few men who fell or jumped into the river managed to reach large ice cakes, and tried to creep out on them. Some were fortunate enough to reach a projection of ice, but others could do no more than cling to the edges and call for help. Two slipped off, weakened by the cold. Their bodies were picked up later. But by far the larger number of those rescued clung to the water-logged launch as it drifted up stream. Captain Rohweder had pulled twice on his whistle cord as his boat sank, and then jumped through a window in his pilot house, from which he also controlled the motor. Reverse Decision in Eviction Case Councellor George E. Hall Takes Case to Supreme Court The Appellate Term of the Supreme Court handed down a decision in which all the justices of that court concurred, reversing Judge Hoyer, who had given a final order, in the Seventh District Municipal Court, in favor of the landlord and against the tenant, in an action of a wealthy corporation, landlord, against William Butler, tenant. the tenant, who resided in the premises at No. 141 West 145th street, is understood to have had filed an answer challenging the fairness of the rent. The landlord refused to serve and file a bill of particulars as required, but instead served another petition the following month. An examining the papers in the Clerk's Office by Attorney Hall disclosed the fact that the proceedings had been marked 'settled', and ten days later the judge, without notice to Mr. Hall or his client, had the papers sent to him and endorsed thereon a final order dispossessing the tenant. A warrant was issued without the knowledge of Mr. Hall or the tenant, who, on returning home one day, found his household furniture in the streets. Attorney Hall at once moved to set aside the irregular final order, but the motion, which was referred to the same judge who had granted the final order, was denied. An appeal was at once taken to the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court. The brief and argument of Mr. Hall were so convincing that the Appellate justices unanimously upheld him in a sweeping decision reversing Judge Hoyer. The tenant has already authorised him to begin action against the landlord and responsible parties for damages resulting from the unlawful entry and eviction.

HOWELL, ADDING POLITICAL SUCCESS TO FRATERNAL LEADERSHIP AND BUSINESS TRIUMPHS, THANKS HIS HOST OF HARLEM FRIENDS The name of H. Adolph Howell has become one to conjure with in the business circles of upper New York City. When banking institutions are proposed, when finance companies are prospected for the solution of Harlen's financial ills the organizers of such movements turn instinctively to this pillar of the community as vital to the success of their projects. When fraternal men contemplate a Masonic temple, an Elks' rest an Oddfellows' home or any new fraternal society, they put first upon their list to lend stability and confidence this same genial and untiring neighbor and business magnate. In him they see a man who masters the business in hand, and who does not let the business in hand master him. This accounts for the remarkable hold that the great mortician has secured upon the civic and social life of this great city. Has Added to Business Equipment. During the past twelve months Howell from his palatial Funeral Church has outstripped all of the other undertakers not only of his race, but of his entire section of the city. His edifice has become more and more the shrine and emporium of the societies and movements of Harlem. His proportion of the total funeral services, interments and shipments has increased. This has been so because he has kept pace with this growth by keeping pace with new equipages and modern ideas relating to his business. He has been not only busy during the past twelve months in directing these sad services, but he has added to his stock of Pierce Arrow cars and equipment three new Pierce Arrow limousines and a new Pierce Arrow hearse in gray. His strenuous interest in fraternal organizations has not lagged and his donations to churches have increased. In addition to these things H. Adolph Howell, under the name of Howard A. Howell, a name unknown to his hosts of friends, broke entirely new ground during the past year. Though previously an election district captain he had never before become an active aspirant for public office. With one accord, when the leaders white and colored of the Twenty-first district were casting about for a stalwart Republican standard bearer for the Assembly nomination, they instinctively turned to Howell. And what a campaign Howell waged! He succeeded and won the election on November 2 in the opinion of his friends, though the police returns gave his embittered opponent a majority of a few votes. The Assembly at Albany will undoubtedly award the political prize to Howell. when it recounts the ballots. Every element of the community, every organization, every group in West Harlem united behind him, and with Democratic votes as well as Republican votes, he became the bi-partisan choice or eighty-five per cent of the colored electors of the assembly district. It was the Caucasian Democratic vote that made the election so close, due mainly to the base appeal to color prejudice by his opponent. To all these Howell sends his greetings. As he said to the writer: "I would have to send greetings to my brethern in the following traternities: Mt. Olive Lodge, No. 2, F. and A. M.; Wildows' Sons Chapter, No. 1, R. A. C.; King David's Consistory, No. 3, S. R. M.; Mt. Calvary Commandery, No. 1, K. T.; Medina Temple, No. 15, A. E. O. N. M. S.; Alpha Chapter, No. 1, O. E. S.; Terry Lodge, No. 900, G. U. O. of O.

G.; Imperial Lodge, No. 127, I. B. P. O. E. of W.; K. of P., State of New York; Association of Trade and Commerce; New York Urban League, Sphinx Securities. "Nor do these include an even larger number of social organizations which I will not specify for fear of leaving out some one or more of them, whose membership Mrs. Howell and myself, might cherish most dearly. To all of these, however, I cannot refrain from using this medium to send my Yuletide Greetings. To all of my friends may I thus say I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the confidence and support you have given me in the years gone by, and I crave your continued support in the years to come. I wish you all a Merry. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and not only this year but at every milestone down the highway of the abundant years before us." Nor would these messages of Yuletide greeties be complete without those of the charming and devoted helpmate, Mrs. Howell, who has risen side by side and been the mainspring of the meteoric rise of H. Adolph Howell. Mr. Howell, yet in his early prime, round of build, robust in health and greatly ambitious in spirit, faces the even larger future with humility and gratitude saying to all his friends "I wish a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and God's blessings."J—(Advt.) Philadelphia Slayer Caught Here Law Robert Hughes, 25, 256 West 144th street, pleaded not guilty to having an automatic pistol in his possession Thursday when he was arraigned before Magistrate Glatzmayer in Washington Heights Court. He was held in $1,000 bail for trial in Special Sessions. The arrest followed a tip from the Philadelphia police that Hughes was in New York and had a revolver in his possession which he used in killing a man in that city several weeks ago. According to Policeman Bransfield, of the West 135th street station, he arrested Hughes at 132nd street and Eighth avenue and obtained information from him as to the location of the revolver. Askel about the homicide charge. Hughes admitted shooting a man, but said, "I left before I had time to see whether he died." Captain Wood, of the Philadelphia phia detective department, came on to New York to start extradition proceedings. In the event extradition papers are secured it is expected that the authorities will yield the prisoner. In case of an acquittal on the murder indictment, Hughes could be returned here for trial on the Sullivan Law charge. Bronx Contractor Fined; Disorderly Bronx Contractor Fined; Disorderly Abused Taxi Driver After Escape From Collision Found guilty of disorderly conduct, Joseph Guglielmo, white contractor, 25, 222 East 107th street, was fined $10 Thursday night by Magistrate Simpson in Night Court following his arrest by Policeman Kerchoff, of the East 104th street station, on complaint of Arthur Scherrier, 135 West 133th street, a taxi driver. The chauffeur told the court that Mrs. Elizabeth Mattzari, 311 East 116th street, a passenger in his cab, requested him to turn around at 107th street and Third avenue. When he swerved his car, the chauffeur testified, a sedan which Guglielmo was driving almost crashed into the taxi. The contractor then, according to Scherrier, jumped from his car and began to punch him after calling him abusive names. Mrs. Mattzari, who was in court, substantiated the chauffeur's story. Policeman Kerchoff told the magistrate that Scherrier wanted Guglielmo arrested for assault and Guglielmo demanded Scherrier be apprehended for making a wrong turn in the middle of the block. However, he bolled down the counter charges to one of disorderly conduct against the contractor, the policeman said. Aiken Now Has Miscegenation Case Racial Origin of Man and White Girl Questioned The lynching community of Alken, South Carolina, is again in the limelight with a "miscegenation" case. White people in the community between the towns of Windsor and White Pond have threatened "trouble" to a young married couple if they try to live in their home because the young husband. Arthur Munday, is accused of having colored blood. Munday was arrested after his marriage, charged with "posing as a white man," and later released in $1,000 bond. A local newspaper reports: "Munday gave bond and is now at liberty, but it is understood that he has been plainly told by citizens of the community that if he should undertake to return there with his wife there would be trouble. "The crime of miscegenation charged against him is severely dealt with under the laws of this State, a penalty being fixed of from not less than twelve months and a fine of $500 to ten years and a fine of from $2,000 to $3,000 upon conviction. This is to prevent intermarriage between the races. "The woman in the case is said to be crushed by the charges that have been brought and the developments following her marriage." SEVERE STOMACH ATTACK. It was 3:30 Saturday morning when an ambulance physician was rushed to the home of Lillie Williams, 30, 2713 Eighth avenue, who was in a dangerous condition suffering from acute indigestion. Charged With Striking Woman With Pistol Alleged to have struck Louise Potter, 28, 274 West 143d street, with a revolver, Ernest House, 30, same address, was held without ball for the Grand Jury last week by Magistrate Glatzmayer on being arraigned in Washington Heights Court. He was charged with felonious assault and violating the Sullivan Law. It was alleged by Mrs. Potter that House was drinking, and, following an argument, he reached in his pocket, pulled the automatic revolver and struck her a vicious blow over the head which necessitated her going to Harlem Hospital for treatment. On account of House having a police record no ball was fixed. Health Circle Starts Campaign Vigilant Organization Was Started During World The National Health Circle tor Colored People, 370 Seventh avenue, launched its first national health campaign for the Negro Monday. This organization has had a unique history. From 1917 to 1919 it was the Circle for Negro War Relief and served thousands of Negro soldiers, not only in the capacity of furnishing knitted garments, candy, cigars, books and a $3,000 ambulance, but upon the return of the soldiers from France hundreds of them received money for maintenance from the Circle until they could obtain work. The came the great jull that follows war. It was during this crucial period, and when funds were almost exhausted, that Miss Belle Davis was appointed the executive secretary. For a while it seemed certain that the Circle for Negro Relief would surely go under, as did practically all war movements. The health program, which is considered by health officials as one of the most practical and constructive, and the only one of its kind in existence for Negroes, is the result of careful and intelligent planning by Miss Davis. For six years she has gone from house to house in Harlem, in Brooklyn and nearby cities and in all kinds of weather in interest of Negro health. She has made a total of 22,000 visits. The National Health Circle for Colored People has given scholarships to graduate nurses for training in Public Health Nursing at Columbia University and the Pennsylvania School of Social and Health Work amounting to $3,200. It has organized five local branches and placed five visiting nurses in Southern rural communities at a cost of $8,000. It placed the first trained Public Health Nurse in Florida, in Georgia and in Maryland. These field nurses have put into the hands of Southern rural people 60,000 pieces of simple and practical health literature which cost $2,000, and have touched thousands of lives in caring for the sick and instructing the well in the ordinary laws of health and hygiene in these neglected spots. The National Health Circle for Colored People is now making an open appeal for support and encouragement, that this great work may reach other neglected sections where Negroes live. A modest budget of $25,000 is needed for field work. The organization is hoping for reaction on your part. The National Campaign Committee is composed of the following persons: George E. Roberts, treasurer; George Gordon Battle, Harry T. Burleigh, Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the Rev. S. Parkes Cadman, Paul D. Cravath, Miss Eda Ferber, Mrs. Charles Dana Globe, Henry A. Hunt, Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, Ralph Jonas, Alfred A. Knopf, Adolph Lewishon, the Rev. Arthur S. Lloyd, Mrs. Medill McCormick, Dr. Jesse E. Moorland, Robert R. Moton. Miss Ethel R. Peyser, the Rev George L. Palne, the Rev. Henry H. Proctor, James H. Post, Theodore Roosevelt, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Mrs. Adah Thomas-Smith, Nathan Straus, Jr.; Mrs. Henry Lane Schmelz, Watt Terry, Miss Lillian D. Wald, Dr. Louis T. Wright and Mrs. William G. Willcox. 21ST TAMMANY LEADER GIVEN $8,000 CITY JOB Edmund P. Holahan, white, Tammany district leader of the Twenty-first Assembly District, has been placed in charge of the Division of Pensions, Finance Department, succeeding at that post James F. Egan, secretary of Tammany Hall, who was recently appointed public administrator of New York County. Holahan, who has been an assistant deputy controller since June 16, 1923, will retain that title under his new assignment. The transfer, however, carries with it a salary increase of $300, making his new salary $8,000 a year. In Chicago a barrel of beer costs $3 to make and sells at $60, leaving $7 for ammunition. Founder and Vice-President of The Amsterdam News ```markdown ``` Bread Knife Used in 145th St. Murder Wife Returning From Work Stumbles Over Body of Returning from late Christmas shopping Wednesday night, Mrs. Hannah O'Connell found the body of her husband, Jeremiah O'Connell, 40 years old, lying in the hallway of their apartment on the sixth floor of 249 West 145th street. The man had died of several stab wounds. A large bread knife lay beside the body. Police found the apartment in a state of great disorder and evidence of a terrific struggle. The death is listed as murder and police are busy today questioning the dead man's acquaintances. Mrs. O'Connell, questioned at the 135th Street Station, told police her husband had been drinking for four days. Several empty bottles that had contained liquor were found under the overturned living room table. The theory of the murder is that as O'Connell sat drinking a friend dropped in to call on him and that an argument ensued in the course of which O'Connell was killed. King Plan Could for You!

For the past few weeks those interested in staging this big midnight attraction have been busy, and they have left no stone unturned in trying to make this affair an outstanding one in a community where many and varied are the attractions to appeal to Harlemites. No worthier benefit could approach our people for support at this time, and a glance at the advertisement carried on another page will prove that more than a patron's money's worth will be given to all attending. The foot clinics, for which so many are working for the success of the midnight show, are conducted upon principles that are purely symptomatic. Professional treatment is given to the poor who are "foot afflicted" free of charge. No discrimination is shown with reference to consultants, clinicians or patients. Herefore the colored practitioners of christophy have contributed individually, and it is highly creditable that they have now combined under the direction of Dr. Chas. Mayfield, assisted by Mr. Tolson and the Troopers' Club, in an unusual effort to give the people of Harlem an opportunity to help in a worthy cause. The proceeds which these people hope to take in on the night of December 28th will be applied to the building fund. At present the clinics are conducted at 217 West 125th street. The new building will be situated at 53-55 East 124th street. Viola Dana Coming to the Roosevelt This Week She Is Featured With Milton Sills in "The Silent Lover," Here This Saturday Fascinating Viola Dana, in a scant costume consisting principally of bangles, whirling through the mazes of the famous desert dance of love, is one of the many intriguing features of "The Silent Lover," the new First National feature starring Milton Sills, coming to the Roosevelt Theatre next Saturday. One of the most versatile and attractive artists of the contemporary screen. Miss Dana has the most sensational role of her entire career in this picture. As Scadza, daughter of the hard-riding Riff chieftain, she is shown in sharp contrast to the placid and beautiful Natalie Kingston, who portrays Vera Sherman, the perfectly-polished American girl. Wounded and tortured by the thousand arrows of unrequited love, and in a last vain effort to win the object of her affections by her ecstatic convolutions, Scadza throws herself into her dance on the sands with a wild abandon. The dance is staged in the courtyard of a ruined mosque—the headquarters of the French Foreign Legion under Count-Lieutenant Tornal (Milton Sills)—with a full moon overhead and a great bambeau in the hands of the Legionaires lending additional romance to the scene. The effect is one of the most vivid and realistic ever achieved by the camera.

Just seven months since they arrived in New York from Chicago, and they are hitting the high THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22, 1926 spots. Again we rise to remark that they are fully deserving of the recognition. DeComathiere in Town A. L. DeComathiere, who did such splendid work in the drama here a few years ago, blew in one night last week to say hello and tell the world that the Lafayette Players have been holding their own ever since they left New York. With the appearance of the drama in a small way at the Lincoln Theatre, perhaps the coming of DeComathiere at this time can be considered timely as more plays of this kind will certainly be offered if the demands keeps up. Ida Anderson's in Another Show "The Unborn" Scored Big and We Understand That Others Will Be Offered Judging from the hearty manner in which the dramatic offering was received all last week at the New Lincoln Theatre, we believe it would be fair for us to assume that this theatre has again entered the era which was the foundation for some of the best plays in this part of the city. Supported by a capable cast which included Paul Pryor, Evelyn Ellis, Jack Carter and "Babee Townsend, Miss Ida Anderson presented and appeared in "The Unborn" and brought a change to the Lincoln which met with great favor. We understood that Manager Raymond Snyder will offer the same company in other shows of this kind. Half and half as they call it, the drama and the revues or vaudeville should do well at the Lincoln. This generation of theatregoers would even welcome some of the older things done which took Harlem by storm before the coming of the undrapeu females. Miss Anderson has made good not only here but in other parts of the country where for the past few years she has been appearing in the drama. Philadelphia and Baltimore, to say nothing of Washington, will most likely fall in line and return, at least for a while, to a form of entertainment which brought out our best people to applaud the efforts of our accomplished performers. LOTTIE GEE SENDS A. Best Wishes for A Merry Xmas and A Happy New Year to All Floyd Calvin Was Glad He Was Not a Judge at the Detroit Baby Show When a Riot Started A despatch to the Associated Press from Detroit, Mich., yesterday brought the news that the police reserves were called out to clear a hall of indignant mothers following the awarding of prizes at a baby show. There were 500 babies entered in the contest and only fifteen prizes awarded. When the disgruntled mothers of the 435 who did not figure in the awards gath- "Lucky Sambo" Hitting It Big Higgins and Byrd a Riot With Funnyisms Which Take 'Em Off Their Feet Billy Higgins, Joe Byrd, Ernest Whitman, Julia Moody, Al Watte and a host of others in "Lucky Sambo" this week have taken Harlem by storm and we predict with all the confidence in the world that the Lafayette Theatre will be the scene of animated throngs all this week. The Monday afternoon crowd that turned out to see the show held on until the final curtain and many in that gathering will make another trip to the theatre to see the performance. Since leaving here some time ago many new wrinkles have been added that will make for even greater success by the company. Under a handicap the show opened, that handicap being the inability of the music to keep pace with the artists, but with three performances at least under their belt it is safe to say that by this ered around the judge in a menacing manner, the latter put in a riot call. The police restored order without making any arrests. Which directs our attention to Floyd Calvin, New York representative of the Pittsburgh Courter, who sighed audibly and apparently sent up a silent prayer of thanks that he was not the judge. Mr. Calvin, you will recall, acted as one of the judges at the bobbed hair contest at Manhattan Casino and his has been a hard road to travel ever since. Entire Section Arranged and Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty 6-PAGES-6 time everything is going over nice clock work. Such a large show like "Lucky Sambo," it seems to us, attempts an herculean task by playing three shows a day, but I suppose when the prices being charged are taken into consideration, one can hardly assume too strong an attitude on this phase of the presentation. However, it has always been our opinion that unusually large shows like the above can draw bigger money even though it would interfere with the standard policy or the house. Colored people have been educated to pay more for the larger and better shows and if announcements were made in advance of the coming to the theatre of such shows, colored Harlem would register no objection. A good musical comedy will always appeal to our people for it is on this foundation that a love for the theatre was laid. Fun Revue in Philadelphia Goes Over Very Big The Fun Revue. Philadelphia's annual amateur show, was held Friday evening, December 17, 1926, at the Knights of Pythias Auditorium, under the personal direction of DeForest Hawkins. The affair was a success. The Revue consisted of snappy dancers, good singing and one of the most beautiful choruses ever presented to the Philadelphia public. The Fun Revue Treue, consisting of three tots, received good hands for their dances. No revue is complete without comedy and this was rendered by Rey Browne. He was the spice of the program. The other dancers of special mention were the teams of Cluck and Boust. Pete and Satchel and Arnold Fields, whose tap charleston was also a feature of the show. Miss Olive Batch, as Lulu Belle, was also well received. Miss Batch is a very bewitching young lady and shows much promise. A dramatic sketch by C. T. Collins went over big. Carl Pinder and Leo Browne are responsible for his year's edition of The Fun Revue. French Nation Carried Away by Entertainers in Paris Palaces Colored Artists Holding Sway and Being Treated Like Human Beings by the French (Special to N. Y. Amsterdam News.) PARIS, France, Dec. 10. Within the next few days a dispatch will be sent to the United States showing how well Negro entertainers are doing on this side. Whether this dispatch will contain the usual insinuations against men and women of color from America earning their livelihood on this side, your correspondent is not in a position to say, but one can expect most anything from the representatives of Negro-sharing white journals in America. French craze for Negro entertainment shows no signs of abating. Negro singing still is considered very chic in cabarets and Negro jazz bands from America are more in demand than ever. Cartoonists deploring the "Charleston" and the "Black Bottom" always use a Negro as the principal dancer, although his partner is more than likely Caucasian. At the Folles Bergere, the best known of the music halls, the Negro dancer, Josephine Baker, continues to be the brightest of all the stars. The Folles recently obtained an extension of her contract that will keep her at their theatre until the spring of 1928. Meanwhile, she has opened a night club of her own where the clientele so far is as smart as any to be found in Paris. She hired a Negro mammy and put her in the kitchen to teach the cosmopolitan patronage how batter cakes and syrup are served out on the banks of the Mississippi. "Racing Blood" at the Lincoln A Modern Story Which Will Be Enjoyed by All Picture Fans "Racing Blood," the steeplechase thriller from Gotham Productions, which comes to the Lincoln Theatre next Thursday, has several unusual angles which set this subject apart from the average photoplay of this type. In the first place, there is no villain, the old home is not mortgaged and the hero does not ride in the winning race. The story is as modern as the latest style in ladies' hats, and through it all there is an atmosphere of radiant youth that is delightfully refreshing. The two leading players are Anne Cornwall and Robert Agnew, both young and both popular and under the direction of Frank Richardson it is claimed that they give the best performances of their respective careers. The story in brief tells of a youth in college whose guardian speculates with his estate and loses it all on a horse race. The winner is the uncle of the young man's sweetheart. The boy postpones the wedding until he can earn enough to take care of a wife, he disappears and takes a job on a small town newspaper. The winning horse is stolen from its owner and is sold to a circus which goes bankrupt. The boy buys the horse at auction and decides to take a desperate chance by entering the horse in a big steepeach. The girl locates the boy and recognizes the horse. She persuades her uncle to bet against him. He thereby loses the boy's estate back to him and there they are. ML-TEE MONARCH BALL On Wednesday evening, Feb. 16, Monarch Lodge, No. 45.

Williams, 1922; Charles J. Doneghy, 1923; Raymond S. Dokes, 1924, and A. Long, 1925. Doctor E. P. Davis, Chairman of the Board of Athletic Control, presided. Short speeches commending Coach Watson, Captain V. B. Smith, and the entire football team on the wonderful record of the past season were made by President Johnson, Doctor Scott, Doctor Dumas, Mr. Emory B. Smith, Alumni and Field Secretary; members of the Board of Athletic Control, and Mr. Nolan A. Owens, President of the Howard University Student Council. Each of the former captains volced appreciation to the entire football staff, and extended greetings from the members of their respective teams. (Diffr Martin, Elected Captain.) As is the usual custom, when the time arrived to elect a captain of the 1927 team, the members of the 1926 football squad retired from the banquet room and unanimously elected Milford "Biff" Martin (center) of Washington, Pa., Captain of the 1927 football team. In accepting the nomination Captain Martin expressed gratitude for the honor bestowed upon him and pledged his wholehearted support in the 1927 campaign. A feature of the dinner was the surprise presentation to Coach Watson by Assistant Coach Long and Assistant Coach Dolkes of a gold chain to be used with the gold football recently presented Coach Watson by members of the 1926 football team. Doctor Davis also made mention of the fact that Dennis Simpson, of Chicago, Ill., is the only four letter man now attending the University, having been awarded letters for excellence in basketball, track, baseball and football activities. The banquet ended with the singing of Alma Mater. Not Such an Artist Said Her Accusers Catherine Artist, 17. of 34 Putnam avenue, charged with grand larceny on complaint of Mrs. Jeanette Maxlk of 2210 Ocean parkway and Mrs. Caryl Rehock of 1877 Twenty-first street was held in $1,000 bail on each complaint for the Grand Jury by Magistrate Walsh in Coney Island Court. The women charge that the woman after securing employment in their homes as a domestic worked a short time and then disappeared, taking with her several hundred dollars' worth of clothing. When arrested she was wearing a fur coat claimed by Mrs. Rehock.

Hunter Johnson to the Fore Former Trainer at the University of Pittsburgh at Amateur Conclave Hunter Johnson, whose name will be recalled by readers following our columns for the past fifteen years and who continues as one of the outstanding forces for good among athletes of our race, took particular pains to be at the meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union held at the Trinity Club in Brooklyn on December 14, as he had a chip on his shoulder. Lown there in that benighted part of these United States known as the "dear Old Southland," "Dixie," etc. Negro athletes have been barred from open competition with the young cracker boys, and with an eye to copping the honors for this section of the country without nary a thought of race lines, Hunter Johnson felt that something should be done for our boys by the A. A. U. Of great interest to us is the National championship track meet which will be staged in New Orleans next July. Heretofore they have been colored athletes in New Orleans, so Hunter wanted to know from the gentlemen of the A. A. U. just what they would do now that the matter had been squarely put to them. We understand that President Walsh came out with the statement that every athlete of this state would stand by him and would not compete unless the colored boys were given a square deal. We also have it that the officials down in the old Creole city have decided not to buck the union and will not start any trouble when the colored athletes start to pull down the points. Johnson expects to send an even stronger team to the champs than he did when the boys competed at the "Sesqui." He will condition such men as DeHart Hubbard, Cecil Cooke, Phil Edwards, Orthel Roberts, Adrian Bucker, Charles Dickey, Kenneth Wibecan and many others for the big set of games next July. Incidentally we might mention that Hunter is now the proud father of a bouncing tenpound baby girl. Past his fifty is Hunter, but he continues to the fore in every way and asks our boys to concentrate on the big meet, so that we can show the southerners how we are improving under superior conditions to those --- NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22, 1926 The World at Large as "Pick-a-champion Cake Walker, and Who does for A Very Merry Christmas to Friends In and Out of the present Working at the Lafayette Messrs.

Then we found out something. Chauncey found out that we were his sporting nibs raising Cain against St. Christopher and we found out that Chauncey was president of the St. Christopher Club. Phew! And what did we do in those hectic days when basketball was at the very top of the mast and held the attention of thousands of fans all over the country. Just made our greetings a little warmer and when the time came for an understanding it was the easiest thing in the world, as Chauncey had long, long before laid the foundation for it. In the passing of the years he has shown himself, has good old Chauncey, to be a true St. Christpoher man. He applied himself to study of the law, although holding down a position which many of us would accept as a sinecure for life and when it came time for the examinations we told him that he would pass. He had his own doubts, but we did not. Therefore, when the Governor of the State of New York benignantly looked down on the class wherein his own son happened to be among the honored men, he was forced to see the three colored men about to go out and be accepted as members of one of the oldest and most honored professions since the start of Time. Hubert T. Delaney, Robert R. Penn and Chauncey M. Hooper were the colored members of the graduating class when Al Smith proudly smiled at Al, Jr. So, Chauncey, old top, when you will have reached the evening of your career after making good, you can look back to those days when we both battled hard, and remember that we join your many friends in extending congratulations and assuring you that the confidence of earlier days will remain until that time when we place ourselves unreservedly into your hands for defense and you allow the judge to give us time.

Personally, she never leaves home save to go to the studio; perhaps now and then a theatre in the evening. The bright lights of Hollywood and the cafes know her not. Still, Greta Garbo was chosen for the title role of Cosmopolitan's sensational drama of human souls, "The Temptress." coming Saturday to the Douglas Theatre. The famous Swedish star, brought to America by Louis B. Mayer following her triumphs in Europe, plays a glittering vampire wrecker of hearts and butterfly of the boulevards in the new picture, a massive drama directed at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios by Fred Niblo. Off the screen, however, she is a home body. She hurries out of her brilliant costumes and goes to her little home on the Santa Monica beach after working hours, and never emerges save to attend a theatre. She loves home life and abhors crowds and jazz. "People think I'm queer because I don't go places," she says, "but it's not an affectation. I don't go because I simply don't care about going—that's all." Antonio Moreno plays the principal male role opposite Miss Gar- bo in the new production. a spectacular romance of Paris and South America. The cast includes Lionel Barrymore, Roy D'Arcy, Hectorly Sarno, Armand Kallz, Irene Gomez and other noted players of the screen.

Jimmy Keenan Walked Out on Eastern League Meeting in Phila. Stalwart Leader of Far-Famed Lincoln Giants Was Being Given "The Works" and Manfully Asserted Himself by Leaving Meeting — Booking Agent Strong in for Great Censure by Fans But for the insistence of a number of baseball fans in these parts, it is doubtful if we would have had the enthusiasm to rise and tell the world about the sensational occurrence in Philadelphia less than two weeks ago when James J. Keenan, leader of the Lincoln Giants, walked out and virtually snapped his fingers at the gentlemen in session for trying to put over what many claim is one of the rawest deals in the game. We were cool in the matter because of the seeming inability of the men forming the Eastern Colored Baseball League to function in a manner that would bring out the best results for all concerned, but the action of Keenan tends to center attention upon what is being left undone and perhaps this will have the desired effect in bringing about that harmony and respect for the right of others which appeared to be lacking from the day the league was formed. the worst of it by a schedule which did not give the Lincoln's a look in. It has also been pointed out that Nat C. Strong, leader and representative of the Royal Giants, not only carries the destinies of this Brooklyn outfit in the palm of his hand but can also boast a claim on the activities of at least two other teams in the league as they must look to Strong to book them. This gives Nat the whip hand in the affairs of the league and any th the worst of it by a schedule which did not give the Lincoln's look in. It has also been pointed out that Nat C. Strong, leader and representative of the Royal Giants, not only carries the destinies of this Brooklyn outfit in the palm of his hand but can also boast a claim on the activities of at least two other teams in the league as they must look to Strong to book them. This gives Nat the whip hand in the affairs of the league and any individual owner would have the devil of a time trying to overcome anything which he believes Strong is unfair in. Keenan went to Philadelphia hopping that everything would be frowned out and the baseball leaders would look to the coming season with renewed hope and plans for the best, but from what we can catch, they tried to give Keenan "the works" and he would not stand for it. Whether this action will mean the ultimate withdrawal of the Lincoln Giants from the league remains to be seen, but the writer has every reason to believe that the league officers would allow such a promising prospect as the Lincoln Giants to remain on the outside. Rumor has it that inducements have been made to the Lincoln Giants to occupy a certain park in New Jersey, and with the home grounds at the Catholic Protectory Oval Keenan would be in a position to put up at least fair fight. Then, too, it is no secret that many a good baseball player would be willing to leave certain other teams in the league and appear under the banner of Jim Keenan and Captain Henry Lloyd. Captain Lloyd put in one of his best seasons last year, at least from a playing standpoint, when he injected new life into the Lincolnins and won hundreds of new fans as Lincoln rooters. New York is again to the fore as supporters of the Lincolnins and will back Keenan to the limit in the fight. Keenan refused to discuss the matter when approached by an Amsterdam News representative, but we did succeed in securing from other sources which we consider authoritative that the representative of the Lincoln Giants acted as only a real man could when he discovered that he was getting Hands AC NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22, 1926 Captain Lloyd C John Henry Lloyd Showed His Worth Last Season When He Brought New Life to the Famous Lincoln Giants.

Dudley to withdraw his name from the "Jolly Ethiopians," it was one of the rottenest shows coming into the Lafayette Theatre, once it was built.

In the mail just came a circular and a letter from up Buffalo way. The circular tells of S. H. Dudley's "Darktown, Frolics" being a McClain's Theatre and the letter I will let you read. Say, the lineup is that circular of the chorus forces us to the conclusion that S. H. would do well to withdraw his name from another show. Here's the letter: MY Dear Lucette: Today, which you will recognize as Saturday, December 18th, when I record that we were caught in the grip of Arctic weather, brought letters from Europe which included among others missives from Jonnie Hudgins and Florence Mills. Both are doing nicely with the famous "Blackbirds" at London Pavilion—so well we see little hope of their immediate return to Harlem and Seventh avenue. FROM Johnnie we understand that his wife; Mildred, has gone to Paris for the holidays, also that the "Four Harmony Kings" arrived in London again, after a successful run of four weeks out of town. John also informed us that John Ruckus, Sid Perrin have left the Blackbirds," being booked for six weeks only. They left for Paris for two weeks with the idea of sailing soon for this side.

Say, the line-up on that circular of the chorus forces us to the conclusion that S. H. would do well to withdraw his name from another show. Here's the letter: Buffalo, N. Y., December 17th, 1926. Dear Editor: The McClain Theatre opened Monday, December 13th, with S. H. Dudley, Jr.'s, Darktown Frolics and Gibson's Famous Widgets. The show, jumping from Gibson's Theatre, Philadelphia, did not need 18 p.m. and the scene one hour later, although handicapped in every way, the show opened to a packed house, even selling all the standing room. The old-time stager, Billy McClain, stepped before the curtain and held them spellbound for 15 minutes with his silver-tongued oratory, and when he told them to step on the gas the show went over with a Lang, and it was 'welve bells before the final curtain. The Buffalo lodge, society and church followers have applauded the movement of McClain and have shown their appreciation turning out and paying 35.50. The white population bought the boxes and the first 15 rows on Tuesday night and attorneys, city officials and other business men were among those present. They wanted to satisfy themselves that there was a man that could take a white elephant, lying dormant for years and a failure, and turn it into a live one and place it on a paying basis over night and what kind of a man he is. And all this was done without one word of newspaper boasting being displayed. All McClain has a unique way of doing things and gets results. All Buffalo is hiring the wages of how Bill put over the McClain Theatre deal—a real hundred thousand dollar enterprise. VIRGINIA ELDRIDGE, Secy.

Carleton Innis, Vincent Otteley, Dave Meyers, Eric Dawkins and a few other track men of note at the twenty-second annual track and field games of the Stuyvesant, held last Saturday evening at the Twenty-second Regiment Armory, seemed to have caused a lack of enthusiasm usually displayed by colored track followers. New Utrecht P. S. A. L. and national indoor inter-scholastic champions rumped off to an easy victory, making its fifteenth consecutive win over a span of nearly two years. This aggregation mondeled together by Coach Barney Hyman seems unbeatable. The Benshunhist school had point winners in seven out of the eleven open events on the program, rolling up a total of twenty-six points as compared to its nearest rival, Manual, with nineteen. One of the biggest upsets of the night took place in the early stages of the meet, Arno Lener, the P. S. A. L. 220-yard indoor champion and the favorite to win the senior hundred, was shut out in one of the preliminary heats, when he finished third behind Wm. Tarakinsky and Everard Donald. This event was won by Herbert Sims, whom Coach Collins of Stuyvesant has chosen to fill Frank Hussey's shoes. Sims runs in fine form with long, powerful strides, after the same order of his predecessor, whom he is trying to replace. He won the first heat in 10 4/5 seconds and his semi-final heat in 10 3/5 seconds. In the final he duplicated his 10 2/5 performance in beating Bernard Robbins of George Washington, who placed second, by a yard or more. With Gus Moore out of the lineup the mile proved an easy jaunt for Victor Fitzmaurice, of New Utrecht High School. P. S. A. L. cross-country champion. The lad from across the bridge, by virtue of a last lap sprint, led home a field of about forty runners by half a lap.

ALPHA TO MEET OMEGA JAN 1ST College Fraternities All Set for the Big Game at Manhattan All social Harlem awalts with syncoated enthusiasm the meeting of the two oldest college fraternities in their annual basketball game and dance at the spacious new Manhattan Casino. The competitive spirit shown in preparing the meet is unprecedented and reminds one of the Howard-Lincoln classic, "Omega heat Alpha" and "Well win, by golly, we'll win—Alpha" are the battle cries of the two fraternal groups. Telegrams of encouragement from the general offices are asking the players to uphold the honors of their respective fraternities New Year's afternoon. The new recruits on both teams have strengthened their attacks considerably. So far this season Omega has not lost a game, winning from Y. M. D. alumni last Saturday night by the close score of 31-23. Alpha came within five points of beating the Westchester professionals of Yonkers. N. Y., December 11.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22, 1926 Richmond, Va., and Omega, in Chicago, will rush to New York after convention to witness the victory or defeat of their respective brotherhoods. Manager Smith of Alpha expresses that this affair will maintain its usual prestige as the most prominent fete on Greater New York's social calendar. The unusual part of these games is that they stimulate great interest in young men and women to maintain a collegiate standing and continue their progress to the end. The funds from these affairs are devoted solely to the educational program of these fraternities, and to this end scholarships are awarded annually to deserving youths. We all commend them for their activity and wish them well in their every endeavor. Gus Moore and Johnny Bell to Compete Here St. Bonaventure College will be represented by all of its star track men in the Columbus Council, K. of C. track meet at the 106th Infantry Armory, January 8. A telegram entering the men was received yesterday by Chairman Joseph A. Viverito from the Rev. Gerald McMinn of St. Bonaventure College. They have named Charles Major, national junior high jump champion, for the running high jump; Gus Mose, former Boys' H. S. star, who ran so well in the national senior cross-country championship last month in the 1,000-yard run, and Johnny Bell, also of Brooklyn, Niagara Association cross-country champion and New York State intercollegiate two-mile champion in the two-mile limited handicap. These three athletes are well known in local athletic circles and can be depended on to give a good account of themselves in the events in which they will compete at the K. of C. games.

Stellar defensive play on each side featured the first half, with the Bucs on the heavy end, 8-6. Each team scored twice from the field. In the second half the Panthers offensive began to work, three goals by Willis, Bethards and Mitchell sending the score to 12-14. The Bucs rallied and with twelve minutes to go the score read 15-14. Chambers for Bethards proved a good move. He scored twice from the field, starting a barrage that sent his mates ten points to the lead. The Bucs scored once from the foul mark in the last ten minutes of play. The Rinkey Dinks kept up their good preliminary work, defeating the Spray A. C.

Mosby Big Five Trims Vandals Former Philadelphia Flashes Smother Seashore Passers in Hectic Game PHILA., Pa., Dec. 18—At Waltz Dream Hall, Friday night. The Mosby Big Five (formerly the Phila. Flashes), with fast season's lineup intact, handed the Vandals of Atlantic City their second defeat of the season. Hainey, Claxton, Shields, Ransome, Davis and Graves were too fast for the visitors. Shields and Ransome on a scoring rampage tallied eight of their team's ten goals from the field. Tood and Knox were high scorers for the Vandals. The Mosby Big Five boasts of a clean slate of victories this season. Chick Edwards is the only player from last season not on the roster, having moved to New York and organizing a new team there.

But Gotham, at least the colored part of it. did not lose faith in this representative team, which has beén keeping winter's greatest indoor sport among colored people to the fore. Colored New Yorkers left the 15th Infantry Armory satisfied that another year of intensive work would find Renais- ance enjoying a splendid opportunity to stump the world- Biawétintoeatticban ain All season Manager “bob DOUE- les has been putting his mey through @ course of study and prac- tice thet will stand them in good steed when they open the Year against these same Celtic players at Manhattan Casino on New Year's night. This game is the most attractive athletic offering ot the season and wil! bring together athletes whose fame has reached across this broad united land. ‘When these teams met before it was the tail end of the season and they bad played their series which fomd them tied for first place honors. ‘That induced the aimost nine thousand fans to make the trip to the armory. However, this {s the first game between these two leading teams this year, and bear- ing in ming the capacity of Man- batten Casino, we do not think that our prediction -will fall short of the estimated five thousand which will ty to gain admission to the world’s greatest indoor court New Year's aight. There {s nothing on the calendar “ot sports that will be able to sur- pass this big event right in the heert of Harlem, and so far as dances are concerned the Renals- mance people made a ten strike when they secured Ernfe Krickett’s Versatile Orchestra to furnish muste for the big dance. Krickett has gained quite a reputation in New Jersey and will bring his orchestra bere backed by @ reputa- tion shared only by the leading orchestras on Broadway. These white players will be treated to an unusual scene when they come here as ft will be the first time that they have been ask- ed to play for what is concedediy 2 colored affair. It will open their eyes when they gaze on the large number of basketball fans, with a generous sprinkling of white fans, eut to cheer for the Shamrocks on an occasion which will find both teams keyed up to do their best. A victory for Renaissance at this time over the Celtics will again focus the attention of the entire athletic world on the colored play- ers, While a defeat will, mean an- other attempt on their fart to try and wrest the honors {rom the Cel- ies before the end of the present playing season, All in all, the fame carries enough of interest to bring representatives from every leading colored newspaper to Mai ‘battan Casino New Year's night. Gibraltars and Dauntless Players Also Announce They Are on the Job - It will be a big Christmas night @round at St, Mark's Hall, as we foretold in our last issue, for basketball with a great big B will be in full swing when the fans arrive to cap the climax of the wonderful day with this thrilling bil being offered which will 1- clude the best to be procured.

Negroes Resent Sugges- tion by Writer on The Graphic for Jim-Crow Tournament Up at the Walker A. C. last Sat- urday night, Bruce Flowers con- tinued his onward march towards the lightweight elimination series which would give him a shot at the best in the land at his weight when he defeated the much‘touted Mur- ray Elking in the star bout of the evening. Flowers has been piling up a long list of defeats over opponents con- sidered the best to be found in these parts, and but for the fact that he is colored, would be occupying more space in the daily papers. ‘The other day Jennings, would-be sport writer of the New York Graphic, came out with a sug- gestion that Jess McMahon or somebody else stage an elimination ‘series among colored fighters so that they could tag Flowers with the questionabdle title of “champion among the colored.” ‘Mr. Jennings no doubt tmagiues he fs “carrying on” for Dixie in this part of the country when ne comes out with such a suggestion. McMahon and the other big match- makers would have thought much more of him had he suggested that Flowers be given a chance against the best in the game regardless o! color. ‘Although we seldom see it pu into practice, we belleve that the Jaws in this state are created with out any distinction as to color an¢ a decided effort will be made b3 those behind Flowers to keep away from Jim Cross suggestions made by such as this Jennings. That Mr Jennings has. a lot to learn in the boxing game was evident by wha he had to say regarding Jess Mc Mahon. ‘The Garden matchmaker had tc remind this Graphic man that he McMahon, gave the colored fighter: a better chance while he ran th old Commonwealth Club than al the other matchmakers put to gether. It will no doubt come a: @ surprise to Mr. Jennings to learr that writers on the Negro paper: in Harlem are all one in praising Jess McMahon for the wonderfu manner in which, he ran the Com monwealth and gave all bends black or white, a chance to shov their wares. It was his successtu operation of the Commonwealtt that induced Tex Rickard to induct Jess to take charge at the Garden On the same night that Flower: won from Elkins Canada Lee got taste of what {t is like to win fight, then have the decision taker away. Lee whipped Clif Graham scoring a clean knock down ore his white opponent, and the wors they could have done in being able to furnish an alibi, would have Deen to call this bout a draw, ‘The majority of the fans realized that Lee bad copped the victory and gave the decision the razz Canada is coming right along anc we hope that the management o! the Walker A.

Langford today is almost blind and poverty-stricken. He re- cently appealed to the National Sporty Alliance for $500 with which to establish a bootblack stand in this city, Friends of the former boxer, who already has lost the sight of one eye and is partly blind in the other, hope to raise sufficient funds from the benefit show to enable him to live comfortably for the rest of his life, Langford recently has been act- ing as trainer and adviser to Hom er Robertson, Boston colored heavyweight and former national amateur middleweight champion. Robertson is among the colored boxers who have volunteered to take part in the benefit show. Others include Chick Suggs, New Bedford featherweight; George Robinson, Cambridge middleweight, and Jack Townsend, Boston heavy- weight. The date for the show has not been announced.

Farley. chairman of the New York State Athletic Com- mission, has suggested that Sam Langford. the once great Nesro heavyweight, bring before the board his grievance over the alles. ed failure of the National Sports Alliance to turn over to him funds of a benefit given in 1924. Lang- ford, now almost totally blind, satd te made a special, trip here from the home of his sfster in Cam- bridge, Mass., to obtain what he said was his share of the $909 rals- ed at the benefit for himself and other needy ring veterans. He said be had been ‘unable to communt- cate with Jimmy Johnston, presi. dent of the alliance. . “[t seems to me that if Langford bas a grievance be should bring it before the commission,” Farley said “Of course, I know nothing about the case, but, offhand, 1 would sey that Sam is poorly ad- vised in going about this thing the way he hax done, If there is money due him the commission will ‘ses ‘thet justice is done.” When in His Prime 2 Et Sn a ae eee Ei . a .

Peterson, in his car, the doctor walked a few yards to where the other car had stopped and was about to return to his house. He was followed by tow to which to tow the stalled car when another auto bore down upon him. Dr. Peterson jumped to the running board of the stalled car but to no avail, for the next instant the onrushing auto struck him and tore the mudguard and enders off the seat on which he was standing. He was carried for more than fifty yards. The driver, a white man, sped on without stopping. Dr. Peterson was taken to the Plainfield hospital, where he was found to be suffering from broken legs and fractured skull.

Phone Prospect 6375 TEEN Countess Irene di Robilant of Italy at B'klyn Church Nazarene Baptist Packed to Hear Brave Royal Lady Speak on the Race Question Here "None of us has a monopoly of troubles," declared Countess Irene di Robilant, of Italy, last Sunday night before the Nazarene Congregational Church, Herkimer street and Troy avenue. "If we could all speak to all as we do to one another we could have a better world and insure peace much more effectively than all the protocols in the world. What we need is not only an international settlement but an interracial discussion as well." she declared. The Countess di Robilant touched on many matters to show that discrimination, whether for racial or other reasons, exists in every country and in every age. She mentioned the discrimination toward the Japanese in California, the attitude of the people in the North toward those in the South, the disparaging regard by the native American of the foreign born, as instances of discrimination in the United States. The countess pointed out several sinifierities in the traits of Italians and Negroes. Both have an instinctive desire for music and the creation of folk songs, she declared. Both have the same warmth of feeling and enthusiasm which comes from living in a warm climate. The Italians from the south of Italy suffer from the same inequalities and prejudice before the polished Italians in the North as the Negro in the South does from his white neighbor of the North, she said. She told her experience with colored American and African soldiers during the great war when she served as a Red Cross nurse. "In all my experience with these Negroes, I have found them to be brave and loyal and the object of unmerited prejudice," she said. The Countess d Robilant has been touring the country for the past six years and has spoken frequently on the Negro situation in America. She has translated into Italian the "Life of Booker Washington."

Smith, according to information made public on December 17 by Ralph Jonas, president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce. The first housing operation, estimated to cost more than $000,000, probably will be built somewhere in the area around Fleet street, Fleet place, Hudson avenue, and Navy street, south of Myrtle avenue. This section, where the wooden and brick tenements resemble hovels, have little air space, with old-fashioned backyard toilets, and is termed "Brooklyn's plague spot" by Louis H. Pink white Brooklyn member of the State Housing Board. Mr. Jonas announced that he will launch a drive to start the organization of a limited dividend company, as provided in the State law, and raise a minimum of $200,000 in 6 per cent stock subscriptions. The first operation will be an experiment, and if it proves successful financially and otherwise, a second operation will be attempted in Williamsburg or Greenpoint. At Nazarene Church A GREAT audience heard Countess Irene dne Robilant, of Italy, in her great address on "The Parallel Between the Struggles of the Italian and the Negro" at the Nazarene Congregational Church last Sunday evening. The Countess was dressed with extreme simplicity, and showed great familiarity and sympathy for the colored people in their upward struggle. She was much delighted with the fine program of Negro melodies rendered by the choir, and at the close of the service she was tendered a reception by the ladies of the church under the auspices of the Ladies Usher Board, Miss Anette Brown AMONG the distinguished people present were: Captain and Mrs. Boutte, with a party of friends from Manhattan; Secretary and Mrs. J. H. Hubert of the Urban League and many others. The response to the address by the Countess was by Mrs. M. C. Lawton, the well-known leader among women of Brooklyn. Her address was so felicitous and appropriate that it drew the greatest applause of the evening. AT the morning hour, Dr. H. H. Proctor, the pastor, delivered a Christmas sermon, in which he showed that Jesus Christ was the perfect personality, and made applications of the thought to daily living. To be a Christian, he said, was to be loyal to the perfect personality. MUCH interest is centering in the movement of the Nazarene Church to its new church home at Grand avenue and Lefferts place the coming year. There will be a mass meeting at this place Tuesday evening, Jan. 4, at which the chief speakers will be Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, Dr. J. Stanley Durkee and Dr. Alexander Lyons. There will be a special musical program in which the Nazarene choir, leading artists of the city, will take part. NEXT Sunday morning the pastor will give a sermon appropriate to the cost of the year. "The Breaking of the Silver Cord," Miss Althia Tinknengale, of Boston, will sing, and at the evening hour the annual concert of the school, in charge of the superintendent, Rev. A. L. Scott, will be held. Gifts between teachers and pupils will be exchanged. MONDAY evening, Dec. 27, there will be a concert under the auspices of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor, at which Mr. N. W. Miller will give an illustrated address on "The History of Communication."

Through the quick action of firemen the buildings at 157-01 and 157-03 Brinkerhoff avenue were saved when flames threatened to spread. The wrecked building, only the walls of which remain upright, was valued at about $3,000. Former Virginia Doctor Locates in Jamaica, L. An apparently welcome addition to the fast growing community of colored people in Jamaica, L, L, was Dr. Charles M. Reed, who recently came here from Exmore, Va., where he had practiced for fourteen years. Of pleasing personality, Dr. Reed has already given promise of becoming one of the most popular physicians on Long Island. He is also a surgeon. Coming here some months ago to visit friends, Dr. Reed looked over the field and decided to cast his lot in this part of the country. He is married and the father of a fine boy. He is at present residing at 109-36 Union Hall street. Brooklyn Y. W. C. A. A group of the progressive business girls of Brooklyn met at the Y. W. C.

"The sea horses are frisking their white tails." "O." said the Englishman, "a dirty day!" "Sea horses"—"a dirty day."

A NEGRO HISTORIAN, who is yet to be born, will some day write that the Republican party was founded by the Negro race generally and by Samuel Rhingold Ward. and Frederick Douglas in particular. The historical clap-trap which we find in Hitchcock's his- can party. For the truth is that St. Paul was the actual founder of Christianity — Jesus only contributed the practical precepts. It was Paul's ability to debate these precepts which gave to Christianity its vigor, its strength, its force and its convictions. Frederick Douglas for ten years before the Civil War had laid down the philosophy in which the party has since found intellectual fortitude. Samuel Rhingold Ward had preached the doctrines of the party long before even John Brown had made up his mind or his plot to free the blacks of the South by insurrectionists' methods, and when the newly born party was about to die from a lack of leadership-nourishment, it was the famous phrase of Fred Douglas, uttered at Cooper Union from the mouth of Abraham Lincoln, that crystallized the recuperative and resisting powers of the party and defined the issues about which the Civil War was to be fought. When Lincoln, nervous and stage-frightened, became confused on the platform at Cooper Union, in 1860, he threw down the manuscript of his written address and electrified the audience by uttering the sublime epilogue of Frederick Douglas, that "it is written in the stars that the slaves must be free."

They su PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S sent to Congress and to the field of national inter way and gives satisfaction to the criticism on the part of those who don't. The document is carefully, if not craftily drawn, in view of the ensuing national election. The President is the head of his party, and is always supposed to keep one eye upon its political advantage, while watching the welfare of the nation with the other. This is allowable and expected. The fate of the Republican party is in the balance. Is Coolidge to be or not to be the next candidate?

They even sought out the colored man to tell him just what they thought of the "common" whites on the ship, and especially of those "pushing" American millionaires, who think they "can buy social standing with dollars. It seems to us — ah — that the Americans measure everything in terms of dollars. In England it does not make any difference how much wealth you have—you must have a legitimate right to certain society or you will not be noticed." The young man who delivered himself of this opinion of Americau "pushingness" was just returning with his father and a younger brother from a one month's visit to British Columbia, where they own 40,000 acres of good land, in addition to estates in England. So it cannot be envy of the rich that made But life is more important than logic and the interest of the Negro has more origin in life and in his experience than in the current aspects of the party. We see then that the American Negro is traditionally and historically a Republican. The Harlem Negro is simply a cross section of the Negroes who founded the Republican party and true to his tradition continues to carry on the only semblance of an internal struggle within the party ranks. It took half a century for the Harlem Negro to claim the right to be a candidate for public office on the Republican ticket in New York City, and he achieved the notorious record of being the first black man to bolt the party ticket, beat the party candidate and establish himself as the stormy petrel in the ranks of the party in New York City. FORCED PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION. As late as 1821 there were still white county committeemen and white district captains representing the colored districts. Since that time colored men like Hawkins, Warner and Mitchell have forced the party leaders in the City of New York to place colored men in these positions within the party organization, and by this act have the power in their hands to take the district leadership from white men, if they desired. At the present time the colored sections of Harlem's Republican districts bear equal representation in all party councils, according to race. Colored men are placed in nomination at annual elections as regular party candidates and the time is fast approaching when the leadership of the districts must fall into the hands of black men. There are nearly 300 colored men and women members of the Republican County Committee in the three districts, and as the result of a continuous fight conducted each year against the party, last November a colored woman, Mrs. Hortense Warner, was elected as a member of the all-powerful State committee. Twice in the recent history of the Republican National Convention colored men were sent IE PRE However this may be, we find that these items are of greatest special importance to the Negro race. The President exposes no conviction on the moral quality of the Eighteenth Amendment. One does not learn from this disclosure whether he is wet or dry by private conviction. But he does declare in terms unmistakable for enforcement of the amendment because it is the law. His position is much broader than the moral question involved in prohibition. It strikes at the very vitals of lawlessness, of which violation of the Eighteenth Amendment is but a single form in which its brazen ambacity asserts itself. These are his words: "Some people do not like the Eighteenth Amendment, some do not like other parts of the Constitution, some do not like any of it, but for any of our inhabitants to observe such parts of the Constitution as they like, while disregarding others, is a doctrine that would break down all protection of life and property and THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News By WILLIAM PICKENS (Associated Negro Press) him speak thus of American new-rich people. It is evidently the universal feeling which older members of a privileged class have toward the newer members, or those who would become members of their set. We can see how an American who has just risen from day-laborer to mine owner, and who comes along with his chest out and his cigar wig-wagging in the corner of his mouth, must far on these people who were "born" aristocrats. "Why, the American millionaire seems to think that his money will get him into anything. He will find out differently when he comes to England." Then the Englishman wound up by introducing the colored passenger to the rest of his family and inviting him to call on them when he reached London—perhaps because he felt sure that the black man was not a millionaire.

For the Granthal, was el past three years two colored per assembly. sons have been members of the Executive Committee of the Reies constantly publican County Committee. These members, it is true, are not permitted to vote, but they are given voice on all questions which come before the Committee for decision. This last is not to the liking of the colored people; it is not as perfect a representation as their numbers and loyalty entitle them to; but the evolutionary process and growth of the Harlem Negro are progressing by leaps and bounds and within the next year it is reasonable to predict that the colored members of this Executive Committee will have not only voice but vote. The Republican machinery in Harlem, in two districts at least, is split wide open by dissension. In the Nineteenth assembly district there is the "McGruder Association" which is the outgrowth of dissatisfaction with the present leadership of that district, regardless of what excuses the leader of that faction may offer for the existence of the organization. In this district, as in the Twenty-first, there are two colored members on the County Executive Committee. There are men like Attorney Aiken A. Pope and others who refuse to have anything to do with the present leadership in that district. The fight of the century is brawling in that district. Candidates that are placed on the Republican ticket in that district always fail of election, if they are members of the Negro race. The names of Emmanuel Bolden, William McGruder, Alken A. Pone, C. T. C. French and others bear out the conclusion that colored candidates are placed in nomination by the leader of that district with no intention of giving them the kind of support which would effect their election. The last election saw this theory demonstrated, at least, to the satisfaction of thinking men of color, when Myles Eulge was defeated for the State senate, while his running mate on the ticket, Abrahams RESIDENTIAL By KELLY MILLER destroy the American system of punity its own ordered government." President Coolidge is a man of even temperament and cool spirit Like Tennyson's linen, he is void of nobile rage. One could wish that Theodore Roosevelt might have exp ressed the same sentiment with his dynamic personality and whenevent righteousness. The President indulges in polite form of speech when he says that this practice would destroy ordered government. The case calls for the indicative, not the subjunctive mood. This widespread practice is destroying orderly government and is breaking down protection of life and property. Mississippi elects to ignore the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, while adhering to the rest of the Constitution. New York disregards the Eleighteenth Amendment, but swears undeviating allegiance to the rest. They both equally undermine the foundation of government and bring our boasted institutions to nought. / America is the most lawless nation among civilized peoples.

On Sunday, Nov. 28, we were invited to go to church in the first class lounge, which is a larger auditorium than most of the church auditoriums in New York City, with no gallery, of course. We were just beyond the middle of the Atlantic. It was the English "high church" service. I suppose—although all such formal services seem to be at about the same elevation to me. The Queen was there—and the two princelings from Roumania. The purser was the preacher. He is a minister and a good one—and the chief steward was soloist, a good tenor voice. Most of the chambersalms and matrons and the young men who answer bells and wait on table were there as a choir, and the singing was ex- achine Granthal, was elected to the State assembly. With all of these election casualties constantly occurring in respect to colored candidates, the conclusion seems inescapable that the colored men are placed on the ticket in that district as political bats or vote getters for the white candidates who run, on the same ticket with them. It is remarkable that the colored candidates always receive as many votes as the white candidates in the colored sections of the Nineteenth district, but fall in the white sections of the same district. This has called forth many efforts of explanation from David Costuma, the white leader of the district, but his explanations up-to-date have not served to appease the growing dissatisfaction. It will be recalled that not since the days of John M. Royall and the Civic League, and the time when what is now a part of the lower Twentyfirst district was included in the territory covered by what is now the Nineteenth district, that a Negro has been elected to office from this district. Dr. Charles Roberts was elected to the board of aldermen in 1915 from this district under the old district arrangement and Attorney Edward A. Johnson was elected to the assembly in 1917, mostly through the efforts of John M. Royall and his Civic League. TWENTY-FIRST DISTRICT GREATEST BATTLE GROUND. The Twenty-first district remains the greatest battle ground of the Harlem Negro. This district has caused the white leaders more heartache than any other assembly district in the City of New York. In this district are to be found more factions independent of the regular organization than may be found in a district twice its size. It has therefore become the banner district, not only of the Negroes of the United States, but also of the entire Republican party in all of the United States. In the last election, for instance, the Twenty-first district was the only district in Manhattan which gave majorities to the heads of the Republican State ticket, and along with the old Fifteenth and Tenth TIAL punity its own fundamental law. The President says that those entrusted with the enforcement of the law ought not to violate it. This is a high and holy sentiment, expressed with sermonic impotence. Mr. Coolidge is responsible for the enforcement of federal law. Every officeholder is responsible to him. Sermonizing is not enough. Roosevelt would have said that any office holder found violating the prohibition law would be summarily dismissed. The nation would have approved the drastic pronouncement. Gloved hands will not do the work of the bare fist. Let the South heed the wisdom of the President's wise words. Let the wets heed it. They are both undermining the foundation of free institutions which they so fervently aim to uphold. But above all let the Negro head these words. He is the chief sufferer from violated law. He must uphold the Constitution in its entirety. He cannot pick out the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and insist upon their enforcement while disgrantly violating the Fifteenth Amendment to EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS colent. the orchestra served and the music was all appropriate; the songs were those hymns about the sea, calling on God to save those "in peril" on the sea, etc. The thing made a hit with me because there was no long sermon. There was one prayer, a little longer than is necessary to get a petition in to any party, let alone the Omnipresent and All-knowing. We stood and sat—and sat and stood. We read prayers from the book, where in print God is asked to bless and save King George the Fifth, and then the President of the United States. But I notice that "President of the United States" is inclosed in a parenthesis after GEORGE THE FIFTH, as if it were an afterthought or not quite germane to the petition—meaning, perhaps, that God is only to remember the President if he has anything left over after he gets through serving the ry in H districts of downtown New York divides the honor of electing more Republicans to office than any other of the Republican districts in the city. The faction headed by Charles Mitchell and his Appomattox Republican Club has carried on the most vehement conflict for further recognition of the Harlem Negro than has ever been conducted by any Republican group, white or colored, in the City of New York. Whether he is right or wrong is not the point. The point is that he has caused the Republicanism of the Twenty-first district to become vigorous and important in the annals of the Republican political history of the City of New York. The alignment in this district is always indicative of progress, nowever mistaken or correct the leaders of that group might be in the issues which they propound. There have been times when they were wrong, in the opinion of the writer, there have been times when they were right, and the community has benefited from heir political activities. Their last fight was to have a colored leader elected, along with the white leader, with his power and scope confined to the colored section of the district. This in the opinion of the writer was wrong and savored too much of Jim Crowism. Their struggle, however, of the previous year to have a colored man elected to the leadership of the entire district (colored as well as white sections) was highly proper and should have received the support of the colored leaders of the district. They failed in this effort, but the community gained strength, and as a whole the attitude of the white leaders of the party in New York City underwent a decided change in favor of the Harlem Negro. FACTIONS EXIST EVEN IN MACHINE. The strangest thing about the political alignment of the colored men and women who have stuck to the party machine against the independents is that they are hopelessly split among themselves. John Clifford Hawkins still operates under the banner of his Bradhurst Republican Club; George W. appease his degraded appetite or to swell his evilly made fortune. The conscience of the nation must be aroused upon the moral integrity of the law. Massachusetts cannot point the finger of scorn at Georgia, nor the Negro at the white man. We all fall too far short of respect and reverence for law. The Negro should give the nation a model lesson in obedience to the Eighteenth Amendment. When the President engages to deal with the Negro question per se, he becomes more verbose, less logical and less convincing: His reference is entirely well meant and kindly. The fact that he would step aside and mention the Negro in his annual message serves to bring the question before public attention. The general tendency is to let the issue nasy by default. It is no longer considered good form to mention the Negro issue in public discussion. On more than one occasion Mr. Coolidge has condescended, if it be a condescension, to make reference to this disagreeable topic. For this he is due our racial thanks. We have been so far degraded in the public equa majesty of King George. Of course, the king is written out all in capitals—GEORGE. In my part in the prayer I felt like slipping in "English mine laborers" for "George the Fifth." I knew that George needs little in this world that he has not already. He sits more securely on his throne than any other monarch in the world today. The English are thoroughly satisfied with their king and their kingship—because the office is of such little consequence to their liberties now. For the English are the freest people in the world—far freer than the inhabitants of Mississippi or New York. Why shouldn't they thank God for their king, and pray that he might live forever, for that matter? They only mention the President of the United States as a compliment to American passengers. But somehow or other it takes the heart out of a prayer for me to be worrying Harlem Harris, although he bears the title of the colored associate leader, is still hopelessly at loggerheads with Hawkins, and still maintains his West Harlem Republican Club; Richard E. Warner and his wife, Mrs. Hortense Warner, are eternally at odds with Hawkins and only manage to carry on a thin "entente cordiale" with Harris. Mrs. Warner, who is the colored woman associate, or, rather, co-leader, holds in the palm of her hands the Women's Republican Study Class, which numbers more than 200 members, who believe in her, and who carry out every theory which she propounds to them, is also to be found dissenting from the ideas and policies of both Hawkins and Harris. This state of affairs indicates that the only block of active Republican workers in the colored end of the district which is united is the Mitchell faction. It indicates more than this: It demonstrates that the real reason for the general adherence of the Leaders Warner, Hawkins and Harris to the regular mandates of the white leader is that they are interested, as Bert Williams used to say, in the practice of self-preservation, "which is the first law of him who gets it." As things look now there is no immediate prospect for peace among these factions; they are even at the present time whetting their knives for a war to the hilt during the coming years. Their personal ambitions are still uppermost in their minds so the future portends a struggle more desperate, more full of hate and more bitter. What seems to be needed is a conference which should be called by some disinterested party who should invite all of the factions to attend. They should lay down the rule that no person bearing political spite against any other person invited to attend the conference should enter the conference rooms with his malice. This conference should permit free and open discussion to all factions present and merge itself into one single organization, whose purpose should be the political advancement of the community. This appears to be the only solution. As things are now, the Republican GE tion that the smallest favor is thankfully received. If the President's reference to prohibition was a sermon, his mention of the Negro was in the nature of a prayer. But when all other modes of procedure fall, the prayer may be the last resort. The American people are besought to treat the Negro kindly, even fairly. The American people ought not to lynch the colored people, for the Lord will not hold them guillotless for lynching the helpless victim. There is no indication of declarative intention or affirmative purpose, but an appeal to conscience instead of to the law. It may be that this is the only form of appeal that the American people will hear in their stiff-necked attitude of law defiance. Will they heed a prayer, though it comes from the President of the United States? "Our duty to ourselves under our claim that we are an enlightened people requires us to use all our power to protect them from the crime of lynching." Though kindly intended, nevertheless, they are potential with mischief for the God in behalf of some fellow who does not need anything. So, when I read these prayers, I will mentally or quietly substitute "the miners," or somebody else, for King George, with certainly no ill-will to George, and perhaps no loss to him. Saturday night it was a cabaret performance, and Sunday morning a church service—just like the rest of the world It is now two days later. I have been in London one full day, and have been invited to listen to two debates in the House of Commons, one on "East African Loan," and the other concerning the Indian treasury. The invitation came from Rennie Smith, one of the most interesting men of Britain. But I will tell you about this Parliament next time, for now I am hurrying to a conference with Rennie Smith on this East African question and the "color" questions. leaders are not dealing fairly and squarely with the Harlem districts and give as their reason the fact that Harlem is not united. This excuse should not be accepted, for with all of the internal dissension which now exists, the Harlem districts give the Republican organization and its candidates each year a full and united support which ought to entitle them to greater recognition. What right have the 200,000 Negroes in Harlem to exist unless they are powerful enough politically to cause the heads of the party to force legislation through the congress of the nation, which should grant relief to their kinsmen in the South? None whatsoever, but the present generation of Harlem political leaders are not interested in the condition of the black man in the cotton belt; they are only interested in their salvation as political bosses. Think of President Coolidge spending about 200 words of his message on the colored citizenry, after the Alken, South Carolina, affair. Why was the message so devoid of any intense disdain for the lynchocrats of the south? This was so because the Negroes of Harlem, who, whether they realize it or not, are the leaders of political thought and action in the United States, had failed to take advantage of their bellows. The masses of our kinsmen in the South are looking to Harlem for leadership and for vision. They are entitled to our serious consideration. The Jews of America attempt to solve problems of their kinsmen in Europe by their votes and by their industry in the United States. Are we less than they in our race love and race loyalty? Then why do we not follow their illustrious examples and use our votes in Harlem for the alleviation of the sufferings of our brethren in the Southland? The time has been when all petty apites should be cast aside and they will be cast aside. The only kind of leaders which shall receive the support and respect of the Harlem Negroes in the future are those leaders whose only purpose is service; whose only object is the good of the community and of the race. Negro race. I believe that this is the first time in the history of the government that the President of the United States has identified himself with one element of the American people as contra-distinguished from another. He is supposed to be President of all the people, and officially to make no discrimination on account of race, color or previous condition. The Negro does not expect to be relieved from the crime of lynching as a supercilious duty that the white race owes him on the basis of racial difference, but because he is an American citizen entitled like the rest to the equal enforcement of the law. But after all, lynching is not wholly a racial' evil. Although the Negro for the time and in certain localities bears the chief brunt of the helmous practice, yet white men, and even white women, have fallen victims of the mobbish wrath. Since the record has been kept, not a single year has passed that has not recorded white victims. As many as a hundred white men have been lynched in a single year. No remedy for laxity SIXTEEN any other form of lawlessness is going to be effective where the Negro is singled out as the sole beneficiary. Any such attempt is defeated at the start. The great defect of the Dyer Bill was that it became interpreted as a Negro measure. Lawlessness knows no rape; the law should be color blind. An effective law against lynching would be of greater national advantage than all of the proposed legislation of the present session of Congress. But it must be nation-wide in its purpose and purport. If Congress should pass an anti-lynching measure based on race, it could not be enforced. The President does not even suggest the enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment, and if he did it would fall on deaf ears and cold hearts, because the Negro is the sole beneficiary. We want no class legislation for the simple reason that it would be futile. One lays down the President's message with a sense of gratitude for a well-meant, kindly word, but with the reflection that the race has sunken to the zero level in the political equation. The President speaks without any sense of political obligation. Whatever he does or says grows out of his own gratits, grace and goodness. We seem to have lost all power or demand which the ballot confers. Let us reflect as to how long this political imbecility will continue. Will it still be so after the next administration, whether the present incumbent succeeds himself or not? It all depends upon the political sagacity of the race. If we use wisely the residue of political power which we now have, the next administration will regard the race as a worth-while factor and not as a helpless mendicant. Let the political tosin for Nineteen Twenty-Eight be: "The full enforcement of the Constitution including the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth Amendments." Fa. State Troopers Fip Lynching Plot Remove Three Accused Men to Jail Cells at Cherry Hill PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 29.—A threat of lynching at Media, a Philadelphia suburb, ended Thursday with the transfer to the Eastern Penitentiary here of three alleged slayers against whom the Wednesday night mob menace was directed. Managed to State troopers and guarded by twelve others armed with carbines, the men were brought to the institution in a convoy of motor cars and locked in cells at Cherry Hill, two of them to await electrocution for the slaying of Walter (Bud) Harden, a white Chester youth, last summer, the third to await trial for the killing of eighteen-year-old Brady Collins of Linwood, near Chester, last week, who is also white An investigation probably will be made of reports that the Ku Klux Klan, said to be strongly entronched in Chester, Linwood and other communities in the county, may have been cognizant of the alleged plot to storm the jail at Media and lynch the accused slayers.

IF YOUR BLOOD IS POOR YOUR APPETITE BAD AND YOU CAN'T SLEEP TAKE GLANTOX BY ALL DADS STORES Senior Secretary at Big Meeting Channing H. Tobias Tells Audience Y. M. C. A. Is World Project Dr. Channing H. Tobias, national leader of the colored Y. M. C. A.' work in the United States, spoke on "World-wide Outreaches of the Y. M. C. A." Sunday, at the weekly afternoon meeting of the West 135th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. His talk received a lengthy and apparently appreciative applause from the audience. Two other national secretaries, Dr. Robert B. DeFrantz, who is connected with the personal work and the financial campaign in the United States, and R. W. Bullard, national boys' work secretary, also gave brief talks. Observations since his first trip abroad five years ago furnished Dr. Tobias well-founded evidence that the Y. M. C. A is a world project, not a provincial or national organization. One of its red triangles has found its way almost to within the shadow of the Vatican at Rome. Its influence toward effecting good has been so great that the once stiff opposition of the church toward that association has decreased considerably. But the sending out of Max Yergan into Africa a half decade ago made it truly possible for the Y. M. C. A. to be called world-wide. The World's Y. M. C. A. conference at Helsingfors, Finland, last summer. Dr. Tobias declared, was one of convincing proof that the scope of the association was international. There were 1,500 delegates from fifty countries gathered for one common purpose. After three years of attempts, declared Henry C. Parker, chairman of the meeting, H. Leonard Jeter had finally been induced to play the violoncello at the "Big Meeting". A thunderous applause to his first selection made Mr. Jeter play a second. He was accompanied by his sister, Miss Olive Jeter. Several announcements were made at the meeting. One was that the Jeter-Weir trio, consisting of Mr. and Miss Jeter, who were on the program Sunday, and Felix Weir, who plays the violin, be one of the features on Joseph, 26, 137 West 127th street, to lose sight in his left eye. It is said that during an argument with Levi Williams, 22, 212 West 130th street, at 2555 Eighth avenue, at 4:30 Sunday morning, Joseph was dangerously beaten over the head and face with a heavy blackjack by Williams. Williams was arrested on a charge of felonious assault and held without ball for examination. Superior and Progressive Methods of Druggel Treatments, Specializing in Chronic Diseases.

William Knlock, a Scotchman captain of the auxiliary schooner Missoe, selzed on October 16 thirty-nine miles of Nantucket, and Lester Travers of Port Jefferson were convicted with Lopez. Knlock was sentenced to eighteen months in Atlanta and Travers to one year. In Travers's case sentence was suspended, the defendant being released on parole.

Porto Rican Faints as Closed Saturdays Kenneth Powell Sent to Sing Sing Judge Barrett, in Bronx County Court, Thursday, sentenced Kenneth Powell, 27, 310 W. 148th street, to from four to eight years in Sing Sing for the hold-up of a Bronx taxicab chauffeur Oct. 27 at East 142d street and Jackson avenue. Although Powell had never been arrested before, and had used an imitation revolver in the robbery, Judge Barrett imposed the heavy sentence "as a warning to others." Powell was arrested by detectives of the Simpson Street Station after Isaac Kovalsky, white, taxicab chauffeur, 1173 Forest avenue, complained that a man got into the taxicab near the Hub and ordered him to drive to 142d street and Jackson avenue. At that corner, Kovalsky charged, his fare pointed what seemed to be a revolver but what later was found to be a cigarette case shaped like a revolver, at him. After taking $13 from his pockets, the man escaped. Kovalsky identified Powell as the robber.

The rendition ranged from the tenor solo "Comfort Ye" sung by George Simmons to the "Hallelah chorus." The solo parts were very finely done by the members of the regular quartet, Mesdames Jennet, Gowins, soprano; Sadie Greenidge, contralto; George NEWS OF CHURCHES AND FRATERNITIES Simmons, tenor, and Junius Williams, bass.

South Patronage Hit by Bill Provides Fine and Imprisonment for Bartering Patronage WASHINGTON, Dec. 20—President Coolidge signed a bill last Saturday which provides imprisonment for a year and a fine of $1,000 for any person who "offers, solicits, gives or receives any sum of money or other thing of value" for a Government position. A second bill signed by the President requires every person who receives a Federal appointment to file an affidavit with the Comptroller General declaring cash well received but anyone in his office "has given transferred promised or paid any consideration for or in the expectation or hope of receiving assistance in securing such appointment." Colored Republican leaders believe that these two new laws strike a death blow at the Negro in politics in the South. They point out that there will be no incentive for the Negro to be active in politics in the South if he is denied appointment to Federal office and at the same time protected by law from burying his influence in the distribution of patronage. The expenditure of large sums of money is necessary to obtain political control in the South, colored Republican leaders assert Money for the holding of State, district and county conventions must be provided. The colored Republican in the South does not have the money to supply for the holding of these conventions and calls upon those who are the "colored Negro" to exchange for Federal appointment. With this source of revenue cut off, there is nothing for the Negro in the South to do, they assert, but permit the white man to gain control of Republican politics. Negroes are already denied Federal appointments in the South. At present there is but one colored Republican holding an office requiring presidential appointment and confirmation by the Senate. He is Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans. Lt. Under these new laws, candidates for Federal appointments cannot be required to make contributions to the campaign chests as the price of their appointment. : «- 2 Fes se-n Western Attorney, Back From Liberia, Tells of New Government Nat'l Bank Financial Institution Plans to Open Branch Here — Warns Negroes Without Funds to Stay Away From Black Republic iter spending what he describes as the most delight- fal trip of his life in the Republic of Liberia, Attorney Oscar Hudson, an eminent attorney of California, returned to the United ‘States last Tuesday, Mr. Hudson, who had been the consular representative of Liberia in the city of San Francisco for more than fourteen years, was called to tire shores of the Fatherland last summer.

The natives. le says are only paid twenty-four cents per day for their labor and that the company is selling them rice, 1 staple article of food. for twelve cents per pound, Consul Hudson holds that the new bank and its land-selling un dertaking are not operating in opposition to the Firestone con cession. The Liberian National bank will soon open a branch in Harlem to take. care’ of the colored citizens who desire to invest in the project. LIBERIA MOST SOLVENT NATION IN EAST TODAY. Liberia, Mr. Hudson says, Is to- day the most solvent nation fn Lie East. He clted as proof the fact {that Liberia, which “had been Ip debted to Great Britain to the amount of two million of dollars ae Jate as last January, had reduced this debt to nearly half during tne past fiscal year, which ended In October.

Know that cyiinders are not “scored.” that pistons are not “sloppy.” that valves seut_and are not pitted. Put the crank oa and test each cylinder separately for compres- sion, Be sure it 1s real compres- ston and not very hears oll. You [can tell compression by the spring: ing of the crank back and forth. | BACKLASH TEST—This test is to show the amount of wear in the universui joints, the transmission, clutch or axle gears. Have one hind wheel jacked up and then put the geurs in high speed. next turn the wheel forward and back and listen to the “shuck.” ‘This means an expensive repair bill at the ‘best, so beware, if badly worn. EMERGENCY BRAKE TEST— Any emergency brake to be useful fn an emergency must be so per- fect that ft will stop a car instant- ly. Your very Iffe depends upon your emergency brake frequently. Know that ft will hold your car should you stop on a hill, or you may go backwards, It possible. select a car with the emergency brake on the shaft, instead of in- side the rear wheel drums. A shaft brake stops the car at the source of power and $s always equaiized. STEERING GEAR TEST—Many a steering mechanism has been the cause of serious accident, Do not be satisfied to merely try the steering wheel for play. Jack up the front wheels and’ then shake them to sce if the king pins are badly worm BATTERY—Know that yours fs not all worn out and bas only juice enough to get you home. You can test it easily with a hydrometer. But know first—batteries cost money. SPRINGS—Should also be in- spected, as they may be softened by overload or have broken leaves. SHACKLE BOLTS—Should be inspected to gee Sf they or the bushing in the spring ends are worn. SERVICE BRAKES—Most good cara have their service brakes on the rear wheel bands—outside. Look them over and.see it the drake lining ts good or will have to be replaced. WATER LEAKS—See that your radiator is tight snd that the hose connections are in good shape.

IN VARYING DEGREES of fervor, the story of the birth of Christ and its significance to the world is being told in all Christendom. It's an old, old story, but the world, nevertheless, takes pride in hearing and telling it, just as if it happened yesterday. AS A RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE and as a philosophy, Christianity, more than any other religious doctrine or philosophy, has the elements in it that would heal the wounds of the world if it was practised in that spirit and truth evinced by the Saviour when He was on earth. It is not practised in that spirit and each year the retelling is, seemingly, becoming more necessary to its continued life and usefulness. NUMERICALLY, Christianity is growing. More people profess it today than ever before in the history of the world, and it is this mere profession of faith in Christianity that is holding back the day of the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God in Christ Jesus. You Can't Tell 1000 MANY young Negro men often take it for granted that because they are colored a job would be denied if they asked for one. We refer to kind of jobs the New York U. League and The Amsterdam News recently endeavored to place atposal of competent young men of the race in Harlem. Such inclusion, however, is a mistake, since it makes one close the door in a face long before the Harlem Boss man has time to get to it. IF THERE IS A JOB anywhere in New York, or in the whole of New York matter, that you feel and know you are competent to fill, there is a way to fine out definitely when not the employer would give you chance, and that is to apply for it. Even if you are denied the place is not mean, necessarily, that employer did so because of your care. KEEP ON TRYING; keep on apply above all else, keep yourself out and in readiness to step in; make good when the door of opportunity is opened to you.

We refer to the kind of jobs the New York Urban League and The Amsterdam News have diligently endeavored to place at the disposal of competent young men and women of the race in Harlem.

Only when you include inspiration as an element of education or one of its by-products can you rate education above all other advantages. There are educated men, well read men and intelligent men who are of little value to themselves or society because they have not that divine spark of inspiration which puts education to work EDITORIAL PAGE and without which education cannot work. EDUCATION comes to man through reading, talking, listening and thinking. Inspiration comes with it through the right kind of reading, the right kind of conversation and the deep and profound sort of thought. In other words, some literature conveys book learning and other literature proposes only to inspire the reader, to lift him out of his work-a day stupor. UNKNOWN TO MANY, the human mind, by proper impetus, is capable of kindling the divine spark of inspiration. There are many workmen who are stirring their creative ambitions by daily meditation on the ideals of their occupation and upon the vast possibilities lying dormant in their field of labor. No man ever suffered by imagining his job bigger than it really was. Of such imaginings is inspiration made. INSPIRATION hitched up to education or just plain knowledge is making men, communities, nations, business enterprises and all the great inventive, industrial and commercial marvels of the twentieth century. "There can be no great and lasting work without inspiration." wrote Emerson.—C. Commends Mr. Grey's Article To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: Will you permit me to say that Mr. Grey's article on the "Civil Disability of the Harlem Negro" timely and comprehensive. Of course, his political plaintitudes are "apple sauce" to the average Harlemite. But I wish to say that the people of Harlem deserve to stew in their own juice, as long as they are politically lazy and unable to perform the elemental civic duties consistently. We desire more than 10 per cent of the people to vote—and, after they vote, we want them to understand the "pragmatic" phase of politics—the Mr. Grey surely understands—to know really what it means to vote, to become a definitely local citizen—permanently! When Negro taxpayers awake, perfect a powerful civic organization—plus the mobile strength of a permanent Negro voters, and the organization that begins to exercise its brain power in sustaining definite, constructive thinking—Negro Harlem will get the recognition that it now craves. And, again as a member of the National Guard, can state that if Negroes consider the right of the ballot in the same spirit as they do the right to carry arms, then they deserve to suffer. It seem utterly impossible for a group of Negroes to function at 90 per cent for a prolonged period of time without losing the faith of their ideal. Their minima appear dizzy, undecided, and they don't seem to know what it is all about. And this applies politics as well as to lodges.

Dear Sir: I have been reading your paper a long time, and could not withhold my emotions any longer in teaching you of good work you are now accomplishing. I admire your grit in fighting the various moro or Harleen mechanists that earn their fortunes off our group, but will not employ them only under duress. It seems that they have a variety of aberration on the employment question, but not so with the Negro's dollar. What you speak of in the December 1 issue very true. Any votes given for a Democrat are weapon to the gates of segregation, Jim Crowish and the depressed Ku Klux Klan, etc. Carry on the good work. Your next move should be to attack the filthy theatres like the Lafayet and the Lincoln. They are getting to be detached. I hardly see how an ebullient public can stand the much longer.

Dear Sir;— On Saturday, Dec. 18, at the request of a patient of mine who was suffering with acute appendicitis, I called the ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL in Brooklyn and asked if they had a bed in the female surgical ward. I was told that they had one. I then said that I was sending the patient in at once, and gave them my name. Then the Sister asked: "Oh! Is it a colored woman?" "What difference does it make?" I asked. "We have no beds in the colored ward," she then answered.

NOTHER illusion shattered was the one that Negroes stand together most where they are most oppressed. My observation was that in such cases the tendency was rather to curry favor with the whites and blame conditions on their own people. The militant ones usually leave. On the other hand, in some places, where the attitude of the whites was almost Northern, I found the so-called Negro. in spite of individual differences, standing together for their common good, as in Durham, N. C., and to a pretty good extent in Louisville, Ky., while in Knoxville, Tenn., where the so-called color line is also much frayed, I found dissension, although the individuals when met personally were very agreeable. The whites in Knoxville are at war, with one another and so that communicated itself to the Negroes, who, here as there, are usually carbon copies of the Nordics. That is, they are subject to the same economic system, and economic systems, not color or hair, determine the conduct of individuals, just as the spinal column determines the shape and movements of the body. The Negro is, in reality, just a poorer white man. The difference of color is just a blind, for, as was said, the so-called Negro has been thoroughly assimilated mentally. Hence, since Negro business is dependent almost wholly on Negro patronage, it is trifling in the South, where one would expect most of it. I came across more than a dozen thriving insurance companies, religious publishing firms, several banks, some of which would be a credit anywhere, but clothing stores, restaurants, groceries, were almost all white. In short, the only Negro businesses that thrived were in fields in which there was no white competition, such as barber and beauty shops and undertaking parlors. I visited more than thirty towns and found only two restaurants worthy of the name—a very good one, the cafeteria in the Morris Memorial Building at Nashville — and another, Coleman's, at Durham. I heard of a white restaurant whose menu read something like this: "Soup 10 cents. Hamburger 10 cents." and underneath: "Prepare to meet thy God." This was precisely how I felt after each dose of Southern cooking. Of course, there were also the hash-houses of the ubiquitous Greek, with the sign "For Colored Only." and swarming with Negroes, but I avoided these like the plague, choosing rather the dyspepsia of the descendants of Ham than to those of Homer. The most thriving business town I saw was Louisville—the four colored theatres were run by Negroes. There is no jim-crow car in Louisville. In big business Durham led. The doctors and dentists seemed better off than those in the North; their offices, and I visited dozens of them, seeming on the whole, better equipped. Some of them had much white practice, and in social diseases almost the monopoly in some towns, as was observed in "The Fire in the Flint." While sitting in one doctor's office I counted seven white men who entered in less than an hour. Housing: Some of the homes I visited in Louisville, Nashville, Atlanta, Birmingham, Knoxville, Raleigh, Chattanooga, and elsewhere were palatial and reflected a high artistic development. I met more than a dozen Negroes reputed as being worth more than a quarter of a million dollars and owning two or three cars. The majority of the housing, however, was inferior to the North and generally without sewage. In Knoxville sixty per cent were without electricity. I took this percentage from a comprehensive survey in book form, made and prepared by J. H. Daves, the able and up-to-date colored librarian. The homes of most of the poorer Negroes are the "shutgun" type, that is one long room, where the family and lodgers, regardless of sex, eat, sleep and have their being indiscriminately. The pavement usually ends where the colored section begins, while streets of the poor are water-ruts, as in Knoxville, Winston-Salem and Wilmington, N. C. America is the richest country on earth, nevertheless there is a type of Negro in the South just as far down economically as the whites in Europe. And they are hard-working people. Booker T. Washington went to Europe to study "The Man Farntest Down." He could By J. A. ROGERS PETER H. very profitably have begun under his own nose. Education; This is progressing rapidly in some places, but by and large it is inferior to the North. The South, inferior in wealth, saddles itself with the burden of two-school systems, two sets of teachers, etc., when, in many instances it can't afford one decent one. Hence, the weaker suffer. There are some fine high schools, however, as in Atlanta, Norfolk and Birmingham. The colored teachers invariably get less pay for the same work and the same hours, with the result, as in everything else, one gets inferior service. Good teachers, and I met quite a few, usually remain at a sacrifice, or because of financial obligations. The text-books used for both so-called races are the same, with the result that the young Negro is, to no small extent, being taught to think against himself. Some of these books have the antiquated stuff about "Aryans"; others teach that mutilates are superior to blacks; some even justify the Confederacy. On the front cover of text-books given to students in Atlanta is a full-length picture of Robert E. Lee, justifying his drawing the sword on behalf of slavery, with the words: "Trusting in Almighty God, an approving conscience, and the aid of my native State, in whose behalf alone will I ever draw my sword." The South has never forgotten its defeat; and is out to get revenge. The State schools, as the Tennessee State Normal, A. and T. College of Greensboro, and the North Carolina College for Negroes, were of a high, well-managed, progressive type, with large building programs. The colored colleges, supported by private funds, seem, generally, to be having a hard time. White philanthropists, never too eager to give money for the literary education of Negroes, are giving less now with the fabulous tales of Negro wealth. The buildings at Fisk University, that splendid old institution, are in bad shape, and the new president, Dr. Thomas E. Jones, an extraordinarily fine young man, is having no easy task. Institutions maintained only, by Negroes, like Roger Williams and Morris Brown, seem to be having a hard time. Places like The Drama Plan Production of "Abraham's Bosom" The Provincetown Playhouse, 113 Macdougal street, now has in rehearsal "Abraham's Bosom," a play by Paul Green, with a cast including Julius Bledsoe; Rose McClendon, who played successfully in the jazz opera, "Deep River," Abbie Mitchell, who has appeared frequently on Broadway; Frank Wilson, who played in Eugene O'Neill's "All God's Chilun Got Wings"; and a supporting cast which includes H. Ben Smith, James Dunnmore, Thomas Mosher, Melvin Greene, Stanley Greene, Armitheine Lattimer and R. S. Huey. The play is directed by Jaaper Deeter, with settings by the well-known stage designer, Cleon Throckmorton. The opening of the play is set for December 25, and it will be the second bill in the Provincetown Theatre's season. Paul Green, the author of the play, last year won the Belasco Cup for the Dallas Players at the Little Theatre Tournament. His prize winning play was "The No Count Boy." "The Bottom of the Cup" is to open at the Mayfair Theatre on January 5. This play of Carolina plantation days will have Charles Gilpin as one of the stars. "Suzette" was presented by Lo Beau Art Dramatique Reunion at LETTERS "Dry South" a Joke in Most Parts of the South these are doing a highly necessary work—all students for many reasons cannot come North—hence they deserve more liberal support than at present. Those preceding us had to make sacrifices for us, and since the noble Nordic will not give the Negro youth a square deal, even though his parents are already taxed for his education, we will have to dig again in our pockets to help. Tuskegee: I have seen many of the noted spots of the earth, but Tuskegee Institute gave me my biggest thrill. The sight of what one man, born a slave, had accomplished in a lifetime made me take back all my adverse criticism of him, at the same time hoping that we never have another Booker T. I spent a week there, and will not attempt a description, except to say that it will be a spiritual investment worth while to those Negroes believing in inherent Nordic superiority, to go there. With the exception of some of the trustees, all details of this great institution are run exclusively by colored people, efficiently, thoroughly. The atmosphere, educationally, is a liberal one. Dr. Moton struck me as being a very unassuming man. When I expressed my admiration omitting Washington's name, he was prompt to introduce it, and to give him all the credit. The Veterans' Hospital: Another inspiration no less striking was the Veterans' Hospital, under command of Colonel Ward, assisted by some of the ablest surgeons, and psychiatrists in America, all colored. Of the latter, I must make especial mention of Dr. Geo. S. Moore, formerly of Meharry, who is a master in his line, and his able assistant, Dr. P. P. Barker. I visited the hospital three times, noting the splendid efficiency and the work of rehabilitation that was going on among the mentally sick veterans by colored nurses. I was struck by the air of general good-nature among the inmates, which made me deduct that they were being well treated. The food served was of the very best quality; and the grounds and building kept in regular army style. Most of the staff are Northern, and to some with whom I talked the one drop of bitterness was at being in the South. The hospital has a fine library, begun and conducted by Mrs. Sadie Peterson, formerly of the Harlem Branch of the New York Public Library, who is much beloved by the inmates and staff. Prohibition: It is difficult to restrain a snicker whenever I come upon the phrase "dry South." It is about as dry as the area in which the Ancient Mariner found himself. Go into any town and ask anyone where liquor is to be had, and you will hear of a dozen different places. But one single place I heard of that it was difficult to get liquor in and that was Oakdale, Ky. One morning in Durham, N. C., the first fourteen cases in court were drunkenness, thirteen of which were Negroes. I am convinced that there is only one way to rid the United States of the flood of bad booze, and that is for Christ to return and turn wine back into water. (To Be Continued Next Week.)

Man has reacted to this alcohol according to the amount used and the purity of the drink. Fusil oil and furfurol volatile substance are the two chief chemical substances in alcoholic drinks supposed to cause bad effects upon man. If the purity of the alcoholic drink, whether it be wine, gin, whiskey, brandy or champagne, is up to the standard, tonic and stimulating effects will be the only result from its consumption. The chief thing for people to do is to be sure of the purity of the drink and the amount taken. Taken in this way, alcoholic drinks are of use as a stimulating and tonic effect. The human system is continually being debilitated by the stress and strain of everyday life. A drink or two of a good whiskey, brandy or rum is a tonic to this debilitated and under-toned system. It is a medicine. It is a food. times relieves flatulence. Alcohol taken with meals is, therefore, of benefit. Taken to the extent of one or two drinks around meal time, the alcoholic drink does good to the body and cheers the spirit. In sickness, such as pneumonia, collapse after a diarrhoea in infants, typhoid fever, in cases of diabetes, alcohol is a medicine. Alcohol in a good and pure drink; is rapidly absorbed from the stomach. The time for this absorption is from one-half to two hours. The alcohol from the stomach enters the blood and is finally oxidized with the oxygen breathed in through the lungs. It is burned up in a chemical process. Thus heat and caloric value is produced. Very little alcohol goes to the kidneys or lungs. Only about 2 per cent from an ordinary drink is excreted by the kidneys or lungs. Alcohol stimulates the gastric cells in the stomach.

Published by The Viking Press, Inc., 30 Irving Place, New York City. Price, $2.50. THIS is not a book about the Negro. It touches in no way upon any race question. It describes the life The story moves about a girl. Ellen, the only child of Henry and Nellie Chesser, farmers in the tenant class. Ellen knows a life of poverty and loneliness. "If only," she thinks. "I had things to put in drawers and drawers to put them in." Her father moves from place to place and as she comes into womanhood they are a little less impoverished. She has the pleasure of wearing a new flowered dress and a narrow blue ribbon tied about her throat. She appreciates beauty in the simple things about her—the warm, soft skin of the calf whose side she strokes, the smell of the fresh greens, dandelions, wild lettuce and narrow dock. "She's got the honey of life in her heart." one of the men who loves her says. When she marries she is as close at grips with reality as her mother is, and finds the land "more real, more hard and actual. Money had become money, twenty-five cents to make a quarter and all buying little enough." But, unlike her mother, she does not become ugly and old, but her beauty still shines in her face and she moves with a light tread. There is incident in the book, but it is simple, not melodramatic. "The Time of Man" is a book of the soil and makes one think of Reymont's story of the Polish peasants in his cycle of Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer, or of Hamsun's "Growth of the Soil." But in one thing it differs fundamentally from these European pictures. The peasants of Europe are fixed, tied passionately to the soil which they and their forebears have tilled or which, as in Hamsun's story, they have retrieved from the wilderness. Miss Roberts' peasants move from place to place. If ought goes hard with them, if the neighborhood becomes suspicious of them, they softly pack their few possessions in the wagon and steal away in the moonlight. A night and a day's journey takes them into a new land. Here they work again for the landlord at the big house, and in another cabin start to make a home. It is easy to review a superficial book, but it is terribly hard to evaluate a book that is deep down in the soil, a book extraordinary in its setting and profound in its understanding of the people who move through its pages. The most of our fiction in America is on the surface. It is good reporting, clever badnage, it has color and length and breadth but, no thickness. is old as man.

In sickness, such as pneumonia, collapse after a diarrhoea in infants, typhoid fever, in cases of diabetes, alcohol is a medicine par excellence. When there is no actual disease, but the pressure and burdens of life are severe, alcohol taken in the proper amounts gives a feeling of repose and well-being to the person of the lowered spirit. Its effect here is hypnotic and psychological. The body and the spirit of man is benefited, therefore, by an alcoholic drink of established purity and authorized amounts.
