DR. CHEYNEY STABS MAN DEATH OF GRANDMOTHER FOLLOWS THAT OF MARTIN 1926 Chronology -- in -- Words and Pictures Pages 9 and 10 Thaddeus Stevens---Patriot AMERICAN readers who are following the "Inside Story of the U.S.A." as narrated in the daily press by William E. Dodd, professor of American history in the University of Chicago, would do well to peruse "The Statesmen Series" of ex-Governor Samuel W. McCall, of Massachusetts, before absorbing the excretions of the Chicago professor upon the immortal Thaddeus Stevens, of Lancaster, Pa., the man who, along with Abraham Lincoln and Senator Charles Sumner, did more to alleviate the civic suffering and pain which the Negro has endured in America than any other patriot, living or dead. Of Stevens, Prof. Dodd says, in a non-historical style: "Thaddeus Stevens, stern, stubborn, ill of health, his unruly hair unkept upon his vindictive head, an old man nurtured upon hatred, an equalitarian, quoting the gentle Jefferson, dragging his deformed foot after him, shaking his rough hist and scowling at any who dared befriend the South." Such metaphors and hyperholes are highly non-essentially nor historically instructive in depleting what Prof. Dodd says was the most "dangerous moment in American history." On the other hand, however, those Americans, white and black, who are today revering the story of the new democracy shaped by Lincoln, Sumner and Stevens, should be taught the truth, namely, that Thaddeus Stevens hated not serfdom, but LOVED LIB- (Continued on Page 18.) Harlem's Oldest Photographer Dies Opened Lenox Avenue Studio Nineteen Years Ago Walter Baker, 48, 35 West 131st street, well known photographer, died at his home Wednesday, December 22, after an illness of only three days. The funeral services were held at the above address Christmas Day and were officiated by the Rev. J. W. Johnson, pastor of the St. Cyprinian Church. West 63rd street, interment was made at St. Michael cemetery. He leaves a wife and two sons. The deceased was one of the pioneer photographers of Harlem. He opened his establishment at 463 Lenox avenue about nineteen years ago and operated it up until the time of his death. He also conducted a school of photography there. Mrs. Baker and son, Disken, will continue to conduct the business. It is said that the Baker studio has the oldest collection of photographs in Harlem. The walls are graced with pictures of many well known performers and persons of prominence, which were taken as far back as twenty years ago. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27. — While his five children knelt in prayer that he might return to them for Christmas, Joseph Bell, white, known as "Philadelphia's bravest policeman," died Thursday in the Polyclinic Hospital from the effects of a "dum-dum" bullet fired into his abdomen by Edward Lockett, it is charged, whom he was attempting to arrest on December 11. The policeman, before he died, identified Lockett as the man who shot him. WHEREVER POSSIBLE Trade With Stores In Harlem Who Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees Help "Break the Bonds" of Economic Slavery HARLEM DOCTOR, DEFENDING SELF FROM CORNER GANG, INFLICTS SERIOUS WOUND ON MAN WHO STRUCK HIM Had Argument With White Auto Driver, Following Collision at Eighth Avenue and 145th Street—Held in $3,000 Bail Attacked by a gang of white ruffians at 145th street and Eighth avenue Sunday night, Dr. Perry W. Cheney, 38, 215 Edgecombe avenue, well-known physician, stabbed one of the gang with a pocket knife. At the time of this writing the injured man, John Torpey, 22, white, said to live at 41 Bradhurst avenue, is in a dangerous condition, due to the fact that the knife blade punctured his lung. He is in Harlem Hospital. The stabbing was the result of an argument which developed into a fight after an auto collision. According to reports, Dr. Cheney was driving his machine west on 145th street. As he approached Eighth avenue an auto driven by H. Pincus, white, 1416 Wythe avenue, was traveling south on Eighth avenue at a high rate of speed. A collision with either Pincus' car or an elevated post was unavoidable, and in an effort to prevent such, Dr. Cheney swerved his machine and struck the other car. The damage was slight. Both drivers jumped from their autos to take each other's license numbers. It is said that Pincus cursed the doctor and a quarrel began. Pincus is then accused of hitting Dr. Cheney in the mouth, which started the fight. Several white men joined the encounter, among whom was Torpey. One other colored man is said to have gone to Dr. Cheney's assistance. The two were greatly outnumbered and during the free-for-all Torpey is accused of striking the doctor several times in the face with his fists. In an effort to protect himself against the gang Dr. Cheney is said to have drawn a penknife and stabbed Torpey. The injured man then ran and many others scattered. Torpey fell a short distance away and was later rushed to Harlem Hospital. Patrolman George Hetzler came upon the scene and after dispersing the remaining crowd arrested Dr. Cheney. He was hooked on a charged of felonious assault. His $10,000 bail was reduced to $3,000, and the hearing delayed, awaiting the outcome of Torpey's injuries. A similar occurrence happened at this corner last Wednesday when a gang of white ruffians attempted to mob a taxi driver after a collision. Seeing he was about to be ganged, the cab driver nastily got back into his machine and drove off. FALLS DOWN STAIRS.

Dec. 27.—Four of the twenty persons who lost their lives in the head-on collision between the Ponce de Leon special and the Royal Palm special Thursday at Rockmart. Ga. were Negro dining car employees on the first mentioned train. The chef and another employee are missing and six of the 100 injured were also colored, including a woman passenger.

The two men, who are brothers, are Rufus and Lucian Jones. The alleged murder was committed December 5. In a statement from the Tombs prison, the brothers' version of the circumstances surrounding the charge is as follows: "We had been visiting friends out into the country. Of us there were three men and one woman. After spending the day we started on our journey home about 6 o'clock in the evening. Our motor was missing and running bad, thus delaying us, and our lights were burning dim and we could hardly see on the road, when all of a sudden three men jumped out into the road and started coming toward us. "Two stayed in front and one came to the side of the car and yelled: 'Wait, where are you juggling going,' and made as if to attack us. "We being excited and fearing violence, one of us fired a shot out of the car, but not with the intention of hitting anyone, but only to scare them away and, being afraid, we did not stop; but as we went down the road about a mile our motor stopped and we couldn't get it started any more. "We so got out of the car and started walking down the road to reach the town to report the incident, but before reaching the town we looked back and saw about fit- This Week's News Index Hotels and Restaurants ..... 7 Undertakers ..... 15 Real Estate Advertising ..... 18, 19 Employment Agencies ..... 18 Money to Loan on Mortgages ..... 15 Builders and Building Materials ..... 18 Auto Mechanics ..... 18 Trade Schools ..... 18 Radio Supplies ..... 18 Used Cars ..... 18 THE BOSTON EDITOR teen cars full of men flashing lights along the roadway and tearing violence of the worst kind, we left the highway and crossed a field onto another road that led us into the town. "We succeeded in getting into New Orleans, La., which is our home town. The trouble happened about $1 miles from New Orleans in the State of Louisiana and, after reaching home, we were afraid lest they would come there and start violence, so we started to New York by boat, but were taken into custody." The case has been brought to the attention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People here.

The present difficulties, it is said, have arisen in this manner: In December, 1925, an installment. of $2,200 plus $480 interest was due the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Rev. W. W, Brown, pastor, front which the building and ite were purchased. In January, 1926. a foreclosure was about to be made. when a compromise was effected on condition that another install ment totalling $5.80 be paid. In order to meet this a mortgage of $6,300 was made with the Strong Service Corporation, When this sum was due, however, the U.N. I. A. was unable to meet st, and the corporation started a foreclosure in May, 1926, but an adjournment was effected on the payment of $1. 100 in time to save {t from the block. ANOTHER FAILURE.

The -building was origiually bought by the U. N. I.

Most of the present financial dif- ficulties have been duc to heavy awauls brought by former Gurvey officials. one of whom obtained ‘judement for $11.000. Large sal- aries were voted to some of these officials, salaries which were {n- tended for advertisement, like ese of movie stars. However. when these officials resigned or ‘were discharged. claims were laid for these paper salaries, with the result that judgments were won in almost every case. 1t is estimated [that nearly $80,000 was paid out in this manner.

Child Welfare First Aim of American Legion The American Legion counts as the most important part of its program the effort to secure state laws for the protection of all children. Reports of the proceedings of the last Legion convention, held in Philadelphia October 11 to 15, show this: Resolutions adopted at the convention provide that at least half the income from the Legion's endowment fund be devoted to child welfare work; that a state legislative program be formulated by each department of the Legion, and that the Legion billets for children of war veterans be used only as clearing houses for children until permanent or foster homes can be provided. Care of the normal child in his own home, in the home of relatives, or in a foster home is emphasized as preferable to the establishment of billets for the children. AFFLICTED CHILDREN ENTERTAINED ON SHIP About 300 afflicted Negro children were entertained by Uncle Robert, white radio announcer, and James H. Gray, 2533 Seventh avenue, aboard the S.S. Levathan at the Forty-sixth street dock, December 21, at a charity party. Miss Grace Dunlap, 224 West 137th street, assisted in keeping the children orderly and in distributing gifts to them. She is the granddaughter of the late Rev. C. C. Dunlap of Reading, Pa. Mr. Gray, a vocal and dramatic genius, was well received by the children.

Race Mixing Solves Problem Chicago Attorney Calls Concubinage "a Step Forward" In the January number of The Messenger there is a continuation of the interesting discussion started in the December number of "Group Tactics and Ideals." Mr. Thomas Kirksey, a graduate of Boston University, a practicing attorney in Chicago and a keen student of economics and sociology, makes an amazingly candid and vigorous contribution to the discussion. Mr. Kirksey states that the effort to develop Negro racial consciousness is not compatible with the Negro's struggle for social and industrial equality with other citizens and that, furthermore, such effort is futile, "due to the propensity of the Nordic soul." He says further: "An observation which may not tickle the palate so much of the inculcators and perpetuators of race consciousness in the Negro is that the open concubinage of the Negro female and the white male has resulted in a spawn of some three million mulattoes being thrown back upon the dominated group must be declared, as painful as it may sound to the ears of the moralist—the race purity fanatics—a step forward toward racial adjustment in this country." "Illegitimacy," says Mr. Kirschy. "in all of its forms must be reckoned with as potent a factor in the equation as legitimacy. The biological leavening process has no concern with the 'how.' I desire only that the Negro male and the white female be allowed as free a hand in the working out of the process as the white male and the Negro female have historically enjoyed." Besides the usual departments devoted to the drama, books, satire, athletics and editorial, there are articles on the organization work of the Pullman porters in Missouri and Minnesota, a story, "Black Fingers," by James Mickles, and an expose of the discriminatory policy of the various public utilities in New York City toward Negro labor by George S. Schuyler. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 29, 1926 Household Hints If you waste red ink on your table linen, spread freshly made mustard over the stain and leave it for half an hour. Sponge the paste off and all the traces of the ink will have disappeared. Before putting away spare silvar, clean it thoroughly. Wrap the silver up in a dark blue paper, with a few camphor balls in the parcel, and when it is unwrapped, even months afterward, it will be found to be as bright as when placed away. Wallpaper to remove? Just use one heaping tablespoonful of salt-peter to one gallon of hot water and apply freely to the paper with a brush. The water should be kept hot and applied several times. The paper can then be pulled off very easily. Maggie L. Walker Tells of Women in Business WASHINGTON, D. C.—When Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, who for ten years has been at the head of the St. Luke Savings Bank and Trust Company of Richmond, Va., recently made an address in this city, she emphasized the need of a greater development of business interest in each community where there is a considerable Negro population. By reason of her being the only colored woman in the United States at the head of a banking institution attention was directed to some of the business activities of Negro women throughout the country. Of the nearly 12,000 engaged in trade, approximately 3,200 of them are retail dealers, 1,300 of whom own and conduct grocery stores. Other retail dealers among our group of business women specialize in such articles of merchandise as books, candy and confectionery, cigars and tobacco, clothing and men's furnishing goods, coal and wood, coffee and tea, crockery and glassware, curtos, antiques and novelties, drugs and medicines, dry goods and fancy goods, flowers, fruit, furniture, jewelry, meats, milk, musical instruments, newspapers and magazines, shoes, etc. An increasing number Negro business women find employment as insurance agents and real estate agents and nearly 200 have qualified as undertakers. Fully 2,500 are clerks and saleswomen in stores, and others are making a livelihood and gaining business experience as commercial travelers, decorators, drapers and window dressers, as demonstrators and floorwalkers in stores, and as employment office seekers. Several opticians and nearly 400 female bucksters and peddlers, a number of junk dealers, and a dozen or more dealers in rags are a part of the business cycle. This indicates a decided improvement in the economic status of the Negro race. White House Dishes Handled With Care WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.—White House mistresses have been setting a pace for the housekeepers of the country, only four dishes of the official Presidential banquet set having been broken since 1915. This record of kitchen economy was disclosed Thursday in a report of stewards of the White House advising the State Department regarding the style of china for the new American Embassy at London. The set used at dinners of state is rimmed with a band of gold stars and is embossed in the middle with the official seal of the United States. The plates cost $60 a dozen and the White House keeps eight dozen of each group of dishes on hand.

The group of islands called Bermuda is about 656 miles southeast of New York and is reached after a forty-eight hour sea journey on a fleet of palatial ships which sail from New York every week. There the traveller is ushered into a beautiful country full of enchanting scenery, with a mild, balmy climate that affords a welcome relief from the rigors of winter, to say nothing of the opportunities for rest and quietude, free from the hustle and bustle that of necessity prevail in the larger cities of America. Bernuda prides itself in the fact that it is one of the few places in the world that has not appeared to keep pace with modern invention, which has revolutionized travel. The traveller finds there no railroads; trolley cars are banned, and never an automobile is seen lumbering over the beautiful roads that honeycomb the islands and lead them to all the attractive beaches and natural beauty spots which abound all over the islands that compose the group. Transportation is afforded only by means of horse-drawn vehicles and bicycles, which give to Bermuda a calmness that has made the islands unique for THE EAST INDIA HAIR GROWER Will Promote a Full Growth of Hair.

C.-Marital life among wage-earning women of Mississippi varies widely as between white and colored women, according to an analysis just made by the Women's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor, which finds that "a much larger proportion of white than of Negro women were unmarried and, while the proportion of the women married and living with their husbands was identical for both groups, over one-third of the Negro women and only one-sixth of the white women were widowed, separated, or divorced. 6G PO Over three million PORO Over three million pleased patrons endure Poro Products.

When separating the yolks from the whites of eggs, break them over a funnel and the whites will pass through, leaving the yolks in the funnel.

Chicago Police Covering Up Criminal Connections by Attacks on Negroes Following Slaying of White Policemen, 350 Arrests Are Made on South Side—Resentment Growing CHICAGO. Dec. 27.—Whenever an American city gains such an unsavory reputation for crime as Chicago has, and the police force is so largely suspected of being in league with the lower world, usually the first thing the police do is to start hounding — or rather "cleaning up" — the Negro neighborhoods. The Chicago police force, following the shooting of an officer by a colored bandit, inaugurated a reign of terror on the South Side Wednesday night. More than 350 arrests were made in their "efficient" search for one alleged criminal. One of the leading white dallies, whose city editor is said to be a southerner, says the hunt by the police progressed throughout the entire night. Many Negro homes were invaded. In some cases police officers smashed doors when there was delay in adpitting them. BERMUDA 23 hours' sail from New York puts you into this beautiful country. I. N.

J. Under New Management Tel. Lakewood 955 The Chicago Daily Worker commenting on the situation says. Some months ago Assistant State's Attorney McWiggin was shot to death by machine guns in the hands of underworld elements in Cicero. To date there has not been a single indictment. It was known that white deplens of the underworld killed McWiggin. These brave Chicago police did not make any widespread raid or search during which homes were broken into, nor were there ten arrests made; let alone 350. It appears that policemen in American cities are most industrious in hunting down a colored criminal. No brief is held for a criminal. But why not make just as strenuous effort to catch a white criminal? The reason why 'police do not invade white citizens' homes in wholesale manner is because white men invariably will protect their homes against such invasion even with "hot lead." The police believe they can easily intimidate and cower. Negroes. NEGROES SHOULD PROTEST. The Chicago Daily Worker says further: "There is no shadow of excuse for the manner in which the police were turned loose upon the South Side and they would not dare launch such a campaign in a white community, unless they engaged in a "red" raid. "The leaders of the Negro race in Chicago should organize mass protests against such outrages perpetuated by the Chicago police—a police force so notoriously connected with crime and vice of all kinds that it is able only to work with a free hand in a section of the city inhabited by a suppressed racial minority which it thinks is unable to make effective protest. "The Negro organizations should show the city of Chicago and its authorities that they are mistaken in this belief and the matter should be handled in a way that will leave no room for doubt as to the resentment of the Negro race and its determination to prevent such outrages in the future." "We hold no brief for criminal elements. Neither do the Chicago Negroes, but the Chicago police must not be allowed to create the South Side that robberies and murders occur." NEGRO LEADERS ACCUSED. Prominent Negro leaders from all sections of Chicago bombarded the chief of police and mayor's office with visits and telephone calls protesting against such unwarranted arrests of innocent men. Rough treatment of Negroes by the police and other conduct unbecoming police officers. A leading white citizen of Chicago declared -that the action of THE CANADIAN HOTEL James Richards, proprietor Facing on waterfront Five minutes' walk from Pier be Chicago police force Wednesday was nothing less than the action of a southern mob save that they did not string up anybody. "I can hardly believe that the force would make such a silly, vigorous search for a Negro, criminal when they have been for years so tardy about arresting white criminals. I believe in determined search to apprehend - criminals, white, red, black - all criminals - but why be so inconsistent," he said. A speaker at a meeting Thursday night commenting on the police department outrage against Negroes declared: "It is high time that Chicago police do something to suppress, at least curb, crime in this, the most wicked and criminal city in the country, but it is stupid, cowardly and asinine to try to create the impression that the majority of crimes here are done by Negroes. Senators and determination in the police and armed at all times to apprehend all criminals, regardless of race, color or creed. Crime should be and must be suppressed in this city. But it cannot be done by the police in such a foolish and unconstitutional way as was done last Wednesday night." Yonkers, N. Y.

Governor Smith has stated his position upholdne this doctrine. In his message to the Legisltaure in }o2s he held that “the combination of elections for Goveror and President every iour years is distinctly unfortunatelior the State of New York.” He further asserted: “No Governor hanid be clectid tat satire isucs.” -_ Te ee re cetera ee ag rect there would be justice in his argument, It so happens. how- ever, that it is based purely upon political expediency. as can be demonstrated “by study, of the off cial vote for the gubernatorial election of 1926, and other electo- rial records. ‘Theso figures show that 3:.355.- 625 people in New York State voted for Governor during the presidential year 1924, while only 2,977,909 balloted for Governor in 1926, a decrease of 377.716, ‘This is 2 decrease of 167.672 vores in Greater New York be- tween the 1924 and 1926 guberna- torial votes, while up-State rec- ords a decrease of 210.044. As the bulk of Republican strength les above the Bronx the result indicates a decided advan- tage for Tammany in close elec- tion contesis, It also seems fair to infer that it explains the Gov ernot’g anxiety to have guberna- torial elections under the four- year term fall on off years. ‘The ‘Tammany executive state ment that no Governor should be elected on national issues is be- side the fact, In 188S, with the Seyarate ‘ballot system in use prior to consolidation of State and na- tional ballots (1896-199S1.

He has made miraculous progress, should have his rights and should not de iynched. You know the regular formula used on such occasions. Of course, the most venal and menial portion of the Negro press picked up thestt mouldy crumbs and after munch- ing a few themselves carried the balance, in gteat headlines, to the waiting and hungry black masses. Of course, now. It is true that these masses don't believe a word of this bunk, but they Ike to hear it Jt seems to make them feel detter than a large dose of the truth, Personally. I should Itke to see our presidents refrain from any reference to the Negro. Why do they do It? T have a bunch that it fs at the instance. of certaia down-attheheel Negro _ pollt!- clans, But the whole thing is silly and useless. Why should Ne, citizens of the Republic Ike everyone else, come in for special consideration? ‘Other raciai groups are spared this sort of humiliation, And it should be humiliating to every Negro, particularly when he knows full well thaz all such pronouncements are tommy-rot. We know that Mr. Coolldge—like any other little politician—is in- terested only in the votes that his party gets from Negroes and that he will get them as cheaply as possible. Tsuggest that a committee call on the President before another message and that he be request- ed to refrain from any reference to us whatever.

C, Havden. a realdent of Greenwich Villace. whose nafnting won the coveted recounition. Havden tried bis first efforts at drawing while he was at- tending s little one-room rural sehool at Witlewater, Va. At 7 early age he went to Washington. D.C. to work and go to school, and etter several years landed in New York. One ehitly dav. standing in frovt of the Hippodrome on Sixth ave ne, he was attructed dy the notice of enlistment in the Tnlted States Army, He had heard there was jeisure In the army and xo entered rad was sent t the Philippines. Pe found not only time to draw but emennragement from some of the oticers, Returning home «after three yeors he reenlisted for the World War, and was rent to West Point for grard duty. Here he had oppor. tunity for further art study aud during this period he took a corre: spondence course. In 192i he was honorably dis. charged from the army and that year did some study in art and commercial drawing at the sum mer school of Columbia University, working in the postoffice at night Later he became a mail carrier and worked at this for three years, hut goon realized that such a job took too much of his energy and lef Uttle time for training in his art. Then came the turning point iu his career. He took the bull by the horns, quit the mail service and began earning his living at part. time jobs—housecleaning, cleaning windows, and attending to furnaces on an hourly basis for well-to-do householders. ‘Among his employers has heen Victor Perard, an art instructor at Cooper Union, who took an fnler- est in Mr. Hayden and gave him bis Arst lessons in of! painting. Mr. Perard also made it poxsible for bim to make frequent trips to the open country in New Jersey where he might be fuspired by the sceney of Jand and water. Mr. Hayden now lives in a tiny attic room which makes both bed. Toom and studio at 129 Greenwich avenue. A year ago last summet he spent at the Commonwealth Art Colony at Boothbay Harbor, Maine, working at manual labor at the camp, recelving in return instruc tion and opportunity to paint. One of the scenes submitted to the Judges of the Harmon Awards was “Boothbay Harbor, Maine.” ‘Dr. Haynes in a statement points out that the awards are especialls designed to inspire and stimulate FREE COURSE IN .CARE OF INFANTS AT P.

Greene, the Prince Hall Square Club played Santa and contributed to the happiness of fifty poor chil- dren of Harlem on Christmas at- tesnoon in the auditorium of the Association of Trade and Com- merce, and judging from the hr p- piness of the children the affair Wes more thaD @ success. ‘William Jolley, the popular young steward of the Association of Trade and Commerce, assumea the roll of Santa Claus. His en- trance trom the avenue, togged in full Santa costume and with a large bag of toys clung across his back, wos the signal for much re- joicing by the little ones.

By LOUIS R, LAUTIER. : WASHINGTON, 1D. C.. Dec. 27—In_ passing the [n- terior Department appropriation bilk on Dec. 22. the Sen- ate put back the’Howard University maintenance items, but failed to restore the item for the construction of a new daemirnare far woamen_ . All Howard. University items were stricken from the Interior De- partment supply bill December 15 on points of order made by Rep- reventative B. G. Lowery, Demo erat, of Mississippi, that the ap proyriation was not authorized by law, ‘The Senate committee on appro- priations agreed to restore the How. ard University items. Senator Reed Smoot, Republican, of Utah, offered the items from the floor of the Senate as a committee amend- ment. The Senute agreed tu the amendment, which carried the item of $150,000 for the construc- tion of a new dormitory for women. Later in the proceedings Senator Park Trammell, Democrat, of Flor- ida, asked for a reconsideration of the vote by which the amendment ‘was adopted. Unanimous consent for a reconsideration Was given. Senator Trammel) declared that he {s unequivocably opposed to the appropriation “because it is a dis- crimination in the nature of an ap- propriation made for a private in- stitution.” He denfed that his op- position had anything to do with the fact that Howard University happens to be an institution for colored persons. ‘At the conclusion of his remarks, Senator Cole Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, made the point of no quorum, beginning a filibuster. To end the filibuster Senator Smoot agreed to ask unanimous consent to amend the committee amendment by striking out the Item for the construction of & new dormitory for women, There was no record vote. ‘Tho Interior Department appro- priation pill as finally passed by the Senate carries a total of $218. 000 for Howard University. Of this amount the sum of $150,000 is toward the payment of salaries ‘and the sum of $68,000 fs toward Reneral expenses. The bill now goes to conference for House agreement to the Senate amend- ments. bers were contributed by a num- ber of young women friends of the members.

In answer the Moors fired a volley. Erable fell dead. Pin- tado wavered and came down on his knees and was dispatched by a ballet through the brain. Gourp had a hole as big as a fist through the thigh and was spared immedi- ate death on the promise of a thonsand pesetas by his Arab com- panion. s “But the Moorish siave traders Ga not intend to let the captive live after the ransom was paid.

COMMBNTING editorially in Theatre Magazine for January én the recent acquittal by the New York Play Jury of “The Captive’—the French drama now running at the Empire Theatre. in this city, in which a young, unmarried girl enters into a loathsome sexual tela- tionship with another wonian—on the charge of being a play injurious to public morals, Arthur Horablow writes: “Some people are inclined to scof at a play jury as a fit guardian of public morais. They insist that the jury has ‘wttewashed plays Rich, were offensive to most persons ot decent instincts. and hat i should be the job of the authorities not that of an irresponsible group of plain citizens—to take action against plays believed to be menace to the public welfare.

Manager Bob Douglas is confident that his men will put forth one of their most brilliant games at Manhattan Casino Saturday night, and so is Captain Hilton Slocum, one of the finest court men who ever led a valiant bunch of basketball players. Slocum is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque players on the court and a youngster whose game is worth going many miles to see. George Flall has been turning in some of his best basketball games this season, and with "Fat" Jenkins, Harold Mayer and the other boys champing on the bit, we do not see how any fan can afford to miss this game. Last Sunday night at the Renalissance Casino the local players toyed with the Pierce Five in preparation for the big game. Mayer turned in a nice name and when the smoke of battle had cleared away they stood 39-21 favor of Renalissance. In the preliminary for the Douglas Trophy the Metro Diamonds defeated the St. Mark's Five by a score of 32-21. These youngsters are very serious in their dash for the trophy and many of the younger element of basketball players are always on deck to root for their favorite in this contest. The coming Sunday night, after their russle with the Celica on Saturday night, the Renaissance Five will again trundle back to the home court and face the Test Hebrew combination known as the Hebrew Giants. These players are among the best in Newark, N. J.

GREGORY LEADS SCHOOL VICTORY De Witt Clinton's undefeated basketball team won the championship of the city by defeating Thomas Jefferson in the final game by a score of 28 to 25 in a game which was replete with thrills. Although Jefferson never took the lead after the first three minutes of play, the home team was always dangerous and in a contending position. From the top of the ball at the opening of the game the Jefferson players were bewildered by the wizardry of Gregory. Clinton's lanky center, who was dropping the ball into the basket from every imaginable part of the court. He baged field goals by throwing the ball over his head while running away from the basket; he dropped them in from right under the basket and he netted three toults from the 15-foot mark. The game was a hitting climax to a thrilling season of the court. The thirty schools which entered teams in the P. S. A. L. tourney constituted such a large field that it was necessary to break the tournament up into four divisions, based on borough lines. Eleven teams in the Brooklyn sector comprised the largest group while Manhattan had seven teams and the Bronx and Queens were each represented by six teams. Close battles marked the struggle for borough honors, with Clinton and Jefferson winning in Manhattan and Brooklyn, respectively. Evander-Childs in the Bronx and Newiown in Queens. In the semi-finals De Witt Clinton disposed of Evander Childs, while Thomas Jefferson turned back Newtown. A peculiar feature of the Jefferson team was the fact that it ran right through its schedule up to the final game in its first year in P. S. A. L. competition, a feat never before accomplished. Alexander Hamilton, which was defending its title won in 1923, finished in fifth place in the Brooklyn division with a record of five victories and four defeats. De Witt Clinton's championship team was composed of Cohen at right forward. Lind at left forward, Gregory at center, Wolf at right guard and Bernstein at left guard. Emo and Oleck proved capable substitutes and filled in the title game to perfection. SCHOOL RECORD HUNG UP AGAIN The well-balanced track team of the Elijah D. Clarke Junior High School won the indoor track and field championships of the P. S. A. L. by piling up a total of 34 points, almost twice as many as Mount Morris, which finished in second place with nineteen counters. In the course of the meet three records were broken, one was equalled and another was set for an event new to junior high competition. Marlon Miller, the Negro finish of the Frederick Douglas School, won the 70-yard dash for 120-pound boys in 7 4-5 seconds, beating the old record, which he also held, by four-fifths of a second. Abe Feiden of St. Clair McKelway won the 105-pound high jump with a leap of 4 feet 10 inches, adding one inch on to the record of the P. S. A. L. for the event.

Record Smashing Featured Sport During Year Record Smashing Featured Sport During Year 35 U. S. Marks Set in Track and Field — Cooke and Hubbard Helped to Make Track History In a few hours or so the 1926 track season will be only a golden memory, but behind it there will stand a record of human achievement in sportdom that has never been equalled. The appearance of an unprecedented number of new stars and the continued smashing of national, collegiate and world's records furnished the highlights of the year in track and field in this country. Invincible champions were hauled gleefully from their pedestals to prove once more that no record was ever made which could not be broken, nor any champion crowned who could not be beaten. During the year thirty-five American records were smashed. The most outstanding performance, probably, was that of Charley Paddock in setting a new mark of 9.140 seconds for 100 yards. The acceptance of this mark by the A. A. U. betters the old mark, which has been on the books for twenty years. Of the twenty-five events on the senior program of the National A. A. U. championships held in Philadelphia, thirteen championship marks were broken—two of them world's records. At one of the indoor meets in the latter part of the season. De Hart Hubbard, winner of the broad jump in the last Olympics, broke the world's indoor broad-jump record with a leap of 24 ft. 714 in. This feat was considered one of the most noteworthy of performances during the last indoor season. Among the colleges, sterling performances again characterized the sport. The I. C. A. A. A. A. meet in which the University of Southern California once more carried off team honors, provided the stage for the smashing of six records. In winning the intercollegiate 440-yard title, Cecil G. "Babe" Cooke of Syracuse University completed a circuit of championships. Having acquired before that the metropolitan and national junior and senior A. A. U. championships, "Babe" has won every title for the quarter-mile available in the United States—scholastic, A. A. U. district, national and collegiate, H. I. C. DY FOR Cmes to Shell ALA. STATE VS. COLUMBUS "Y" ALA. STATE VS. COLUMBUS "Y" MONTGOMERY, Alabama, Dec. 25.—The Alabama State Normal dribblers played their initial game of the season on Tuesday night, Dec. 21, against the Columbus Georgia "Y" in Dillar Gymnasium here, with the "Y" emerging with the big end of the count in a narrow margin victory of 42-41. The "Y" boys leaped into lead at the outset by making two field goals. The first half ended with the "Y" still retaining the lead by three points. The Hornets opened the second half with a flash, making two baskets in succession and taking the lead from the visitors. The game was nip and tuck until the last minute of play, when Gatewood, the elongated forward of the "Y," made two sensational shots from difficult angles. The visitors then played a defensive game. When the whistle blew for the game to end, the Hornets were making a desperate attempt to even the count. Capt. Wilson, the lanky forward for the Hornets, was easily the star of the game. This lad was all over the floor. Holt, the Hornets' 1926 captain, played his usual stellar game. Routt, Burns, Campbell and Redden played a very good game. Gatewood at forward and Sloan at guard were the heroes for the visitors. These lads played one of the best games seen on the local court for a long time. The Hornets have a hard schedule for the present season, playing most of the leading teams of the Southeastern Conference. Morehouse. Clark. Tuskegee. Talladega. Morris Brown and Atlanta University are on the Hornets' schedule. The first conference game is scheduled for New Year's night in Dillard Gymnasium with Abbott's Tuskegee Tiger Quintet furnishing the opposition. The preliminary game was an interesting exhibition contest between two sextettes of the girls' varsity squad. A promising season for the lassies is in prospect as a result of the talent displayed Tuesday night.

The local quintet was the maser of the situation from the trivial whilte, leading at half-time by 10 to 11. "Fat" Jenkins, crack shot of the Harlem aggregation, accounted for fifteen tallies with five field baskets and five foul marks. "Don Mulligan, of the Skeeters, was the shining star from the spectacle from fifteen angles of the floor and two baskets from the fifteen-foot line. The colored stars uncorked a passing attack in the second half that had their Jersey visitors be wildered for fifteen minutes. The large gathering found many moments of excitement as the invaders made valiant attempts to get their hands on the ball. Manager Bob Douglas sent in Salch at forward, which was the only change in the local's lineup in the first half. Rangy and is famed as the colored tennis champion. He caged two of the cleverest field goals of the game from scrimmage. The Pierce quintet made darling attempts to cut down the Harlem boys' lead during the closing minutes of the game.

New York University's middle-distance and cross-country star is diligently training the coming indoor season. Under the guidance of Coach John Hammond, he and should win several important contests this season. At the Metropolitan Junior A. A. U. Champs he forced George Lemes to break the half-mile record and is now getting ready to average his defeat. During the past season he was one of the most outstanding of local collegiate cross-country runners. MARION MILLER of the Frederick Douglas Jr. High School was the star of junior high school athletics this year. At the U. S. A. L. championships Miller won the 70-yard dash for 120-pound boys in the excellent time of 11.5 seconds. He was one of a number of the performances turned in by him. He graduates in February and whatever school he should choose to be his Alma Mater will have acquired great strength to their track team. DR.

Claude Joseph Dominique Brindis BY BANDMASTER ALTON A. ADAMS, U.S.N. St. Thomas, Virgin Islands THE November number of Opportunity featured topics pertaining to the West Indies—a Special Caribbean Issue. Among the many interesting articles therein is one entitled West Indian Composers and Musicians by Mr. A. A. Schomburg; this article is said by the author to have been taken from a book of historical sketches and essays. It is a splendid output, indeed interesting and valuable from an historic point of view. But unfortunately for us Virgin Islanders (formerly Danish West Indians) it contains a very important omission and several 'inaccuracies' relative to the sketch to the younger Brindis. Judging from the senior of Mr. Schomburg's article, showing unimaginable rework in work it is clearly evident that he is seeking for facts and accuracies, and will accept a little correction in an humble and well meant spirit. I say unfortunately for us Virgin Islanders, because were it not for St. Thomas, the capital of the Virgin Islands of the United States, the colored musical world might not have had a celebrated Brindis de facto. There are scores of people in St. Thomas, now living, who know Brindis well. When I was a little boy I often heard my father speak with delight of the musicianship of Brindis, emphasizing particularly his great technical skill with the bow. He was fond of relating how Brindis came here to St. Thomas as one of the crew of a distressed ship bound to Europe, and how on account of his genius he was befriended and helped by a generous, appreciative and hospitable people. The following extract from an article under the heading of "St. Thomas and Music," which appeared in the St. Thomas Bulletin of May, 1925, is authentic and will supply the omission and correct the contribution of the acclaimed musician Lange's life and informative article. The author is the Hon. Conrad Courtney, resident of St. Thomas and one who knew Brindis as well as he could have been known here. The article runs as follows: "A black lad arrived in 1871 and lodged at a little boarding house situated near 'Lange's Bridge' on the new occupied building of the Courtney residence. The was unknown and at first attracted no attention. His luggage consisted of a valise and a violin in a shabby case. He started to play on his violin. Passing along that way one evening in company with S.urolemiel Lange, Hypolite Victoria was attracted by the sound of the violin and the shabby case. He was along while listening. Next day Victoria inquired and the proprietor of the boarding house told him: 'tis a little negro boy always playing an old fiddle.' Send the boy to me tomorrow, retorted Dot Hypolite; told him to bring the fiddle along. Brindis was punctual to the applause. Hestress and Victoria, executed some Cuban and Haitian airlift kept them spellbound. On the day following the same audience met, and Brindis was handed music from the operas of L'Africaine and Robert le Diagbe, and requested to try. He did not wry, he played them remarkably well at the concert, and he was the only musician in the musician and bandmaster in Portau-Prince, Hattit, and the lad had received considerate instruction.) The 'Cubanito' and his violin became the topic of many weeks, and as the number of admirers grew, he became a praise subscription for the purpose of sending him. Encouraged to teach, he was invited to sing at Dancla, professor of violin who was personally known to him, and interested Dancla in securing the admission of Brindis. Meanwhile Thomas Danstaurg, the then Venerable Matre of the Coeurs Sincères was very active part in the movement and together with las de Leon introduced their brother masons to contribute liberally towards the cause. The money was raised and Brindis went to Paris and was admitted in the class of Dancia as the following letter from the Ministry Public Instruction and Fine Arts will show: Ministère de l'Instruction Publique & des Beaux Arts.

The letter shows that Brindis *not* Distinguished mention in his name in the second. The addition 'de Salas' to his name was adopted by him after Conservatory - it was his professional name. Brindis became of international repute; at the height of his career he received as much as one thousand dollars per night in Buenos Aires, about a thousand dollars per day, and his case passed unattended to the cemetery of a grand routine City, whose inhabitants had oft before frantically applauded him. "So many people alive here knew Brindis personally that it is necessary for us to enter into details. We heard him play at the Apollo Theater sixteen years ago downfallen. He had an anvenient coat, but they showed age; a cheap cane substituted its go-mounted predecessor with the monogram B. S. and the little inner of his right hand had been relieved of the burden of a two and a half-inch wound. The press had discontinued announcing his arrival and departure. We were glad to see years after a clipping from La Nacion of Buenos Aires again." At the Grant Theatre THE DANCE Scene From "Ten Nights in a Barroom." Featuring Charles Gilpin, and Which Is the Outstanding Picture at the Grant This Week. brings it to it will he seen from Mr. Cornetiou's article that Brindis was not out to Paris to study by his father, as stated by Mr. Schomburg but by liberal-minded, well-to-do men of St. Thomas, who appreciated and also added talent and genius. It shows also that Brindis did not win the First Prize at the Conservatoire of Paris, but that the first year he received Distinguished Mention and the following captured the Second Prize. It is in general circumstance here the truth of which I cannot substantiate, that he lost the First Prize on a count of an eccentric number of howling which he was fond of clopping on his knees for which he was reprimanded several times for failing St. Thomas had also the pleasure of hearing Mr. Joseph W. of Cuba, whose distinguished career has been so fully related to Mr. Schomburg's article. quote again from another part of Mr. Corneiro's article: If that St. Thomas possessed greater culture and refinement in corner days is an indisputable fact, and a proportional love of music was his natural consequence. Numerous were the European and Creole families, well-to-do in most cases, who either possessed or highly appreciated musical talent. Among the natives of those days who scored high marks were Barthol Daniel, uncle of Consul Cyril Daniel, played at the Court of Napoleon III, and was especially distinguished by the Emperor and his consort, who was appointed by the Montego; Walter bishop of a Grand Mass dedicated to Sante Teresa de Jesus, which won for them high encomiens of the Archbishop and Cabildo of the Cathedral of Lima, Peru." Mr. Schomburg writes: "In the orchestra of Cuba and Porto Rico whenever the operas that came from Europe were staged it was not an uncommon sight to see among the musicians a large number of Negroes who in private life were masters of their respective branches of music. In these cases and Phillipharmonic societies the Negroes were admitted not because of their color or race, but because of their character and efficiency in their respective vocations, which was the rule in those countries rather than the exception." Absolutely true only I may add that such an exemplary condition still exists, not only in Cuba and Porto Rico, but in all Latin-American countries. The Amsterdam News is so far ahead of all competitors in the wars and the theoretical world there is no comparison. ADOLPH J. THENSTEAD SCHOOL OF MUSIC 262 WEST 129TH ST.

Pkwy. 111 W. 125th St. NEWS OF BROOKLYN AND LONG ISLAND FOURTEEN Moore's Sanity in Question Moore's Sanity in Question --- Hovering Dangerously Near the Baumes Law, Which Would Give Him Life Because his actions indicated a possible inclination to stay in Sin Sing, John Davris Moore, 39 years old, of 181 Dutfield street, will be examined as to his sanity on orders issued by County Judge George W. Martin. Moore was in the county court last week on a charge of having stolen an overcoat from a store at 22 Myrtle avenue. This is his third offense and under the law he can be sent away for a long time. He pleaded guilty to the charge. In 1922 Moore was first sent to prison, according to the police. Since that time he has been in and out of prison three times, with brief periods of freedom. Now he is all set for another trip up the river unless it is determined that he needs attention as a mental defect. In all this time as a burglar it is estimated that Moore's total gain has been one overcoat worth about $10. On May 9, 1922, he was sent away on being convicted for petty larceny. A week after his release he was arrested on a charge of attempted burglary and sent to Sing Sing for from one to two years. Fifteen days after his release he was arrested on another charge of burglary and was sent back to Sing Sing for two years and six months. On Oct. 29 last he was again free. Twenty days later he was arrested after he had broken into a store at 32 Myrtle avenue. He pleaded guilty to that charge. Under the Baumes Laws Moore is liable to a severe sentence. One more violation will mean life imprisonment. In speaking of the case Assistant District Attorney William F. X. Geoghan stated, "It looks to me as though Moore may have a strong inclination to dodge the task of making a living." Judge Martin stated that in case the investigation shows that Moore is all right mentally he will give him the limit under the law.

Dogs Attack Federal Agents Dogs Attack Federal Agents But They "Get Their Man" and a Large Quantity of Alleged Bootleg Whiskey Federal Prohibition Agent Josiah Dixon, who lives in Manhattan and is assigned to the Brooklyn office of the New York Administrator, had two dogs set on him on November 30, when he and another agent went to 29 Grand street to make an investigation of alleged violations of the Volstead act.

Brooklyn Store Keeper Says One Robbed Him But Nobody Saw the Culprit From all indications Benjamin Franz, white, 25 years old, manager of the National Hosiery Store at 418 Fulton street, is going to have the time of his life trying to locate some unknown colored man whom, he says, held him up and robbed him, as all the evidence an Amsterdam News reporter has been able to secure indicate there was not any colored men on the street at the time of the alleged robbery. Last week Franz, who lives at $266 E. Snyder avenue, Mt. Vernon, claims that he opened the store at 9.30 a. m., and had taken the money out of the safe. It was in a cardboard box. While doing this the handset entered with a drawn pistol, and compelled him to go to a rear room. There Franz was gargged and tied. The robber is then alleged to have taken $6 from the trousers pocket of the store manager and then leisurely helped himself to the $2,300. According to the story told by Franz, he rushed to the street after he had broken himself loose, yelling, "Negro! Negro!" A uniformed policeman of the Butler street station was near and joined Franz in the search of the man, but he could not be found. Our reporter investigated the story, and found that no one could be found who had seen any colored man in the neighborhood at the time of the alleged robbery.

The officer stated that the first he knew of the supposed robbery was when Franz came over to him and in a casual manner stated that he had been robbed by a colored man. It is reported that Franz is related to one of the owners of the company that operates the store, and that the store is covered by burglary insurance. The loss is also covered by insurance. Walter Payne was burned to death in his home in Roslyn, L. I. Members of three families got to the street safely before flames, which did damage of $12,000, swept through the building.

For in the min comes in contact no distinctic geography, and any man who this definition is looked upon a United States Negro without birth. WEST INDIANS NOT POLITICALLY MINDED IN THEIR HOME. In the Islands where most of the West Indians come from there is little or no politics. The country is usually under the colonial form of government and the ballot, when known, is known in most places to only about 2 per cent of the population. With the exception of the island of Jamaica, there are no positive constitutional prerogatives that place into the hands of the common citizen the use of the ballot, as we know it in the United States. In the Island of Barbados, for instance, according to the Redi JKE a poor congregation's church, the new general recognition of the Negro's contribution to American music through his religious songs was a long time building. Mr. Fisher seems correctly to credit H. T. Burleigh with ushering in a good day, when in 1916 he published "Deep River," but fails to note that not this, but certain of the examples in Kreibhist's study of two years earlier, constituted the first arrangements of spirituals for solo voice and piano; nor does he mention the part played by Hoger Rodeheaver in introducing some of these songs to Billy Sunday's hundreds of thousands, scarcely habitues of concert halls.

Large countries like British Guiana and Trinidad are only now beginning to develop a conception of politics and the ballot which in any way resembles the conception which has been held by United States Negroes for more than half a century. When it is added to this mental disadvantage, the fact that the West Indian is a typical immigrant—in that he comes to the United States and huddles iscovering BY ABB In The In The Nation leaves behind a solid body of knowledge and beauty for the constant. Several myths have been dispelled; others are tootling. Item; that the Negro merely rilched, say, from the pale and flabby "gospel hymns." Krehbel commenced and Ballanta has completed the demolition of this absurdity; Mrs. Burlin has summed up the facts: "... the characteristics which give to his (the Negro's) music an interest worthy of particular study are precisely those which differentiate Negro songs from the songs of the neighboring white man; they are racial traits, and the black man brought them from the Dark Continent." It is becoming less and less thusiasm for the salvation of men on the heavenly side. The churches have hardly held their own in the duel with the devil. The mind of the race, especially the younger generation, has not been moved Godward. The grosser pleasures of the flesh have chilled the higher and holier joys of the spirit. The school teachers have been holding class and hearing lessons. They have proceeded with conscious satisfaction of things pedagogical as they are now or-dained unconscious of the fact that the educational regime is at the parting of the ways. The only worthwhile end of education is inspiration, not information. The letter killeth; the spirit maketh alive. It is but an observation not a criticism. much less a reflection upon the educational fraternity to say that, on the whole, it has been mimicking the form rather than emulating the spiritual aim of educational standards. with unnoticed success. But there has been little indication of fresh energy or enterprise. The lamentable failure of some of our most boasted undertakings a year or so ago has dampened the ardor and chilled the spirit. if it has not cut the nerve of concerted business prospects. The political movement has been decided retrograded. If the Negro is not convinced that he counts as a cypher in the political reckoning, he must be opaque to the point of obtuseness. To cap the climax, the President has just affixed his signature to a measure designed to wine out the last vestige of Our higher education has been augmenting in quantity rather than intensifying in its stimulation of the intellectual, moral and spiritual energies. There have been internal movements and matterings in our higher institutions of learning, of whose forebodings we are not yet quite sure. The outcome is in issue, with our hopes and fears struggling for the ascendency. In the economic domain, we have been marking time. An increased number of the race has been employed at good wages. Home ownership has been increased. Small businesses have sprung up and are operating EST IN together—the fact of his state of mind takes on a more complex character. It must be borne in mind that no West Indian ever leaves his country because of physical oppression as we know it in the United States. There are no lynchings parties possible in those countries; no masked outlaws can drive him from his property; the virtue of his wife and daughter, when violated is the result of voluntary submission to the white man by the wife and daughter; he is not pushed from sidewalks and driven from his hearth; there are no visible distinctions made in public places based upon the color of the skin; his right to hold office is not openly based upon the color of his skin. The English are more Negrohating than the white Americans; but they found it necessary to adopt a different system of discrimination than has been embraced by the white Americans. Consequently, the average West Indian in his home is absolutely fooled by the English colonial blarney and will tell you that his home is a haven to him. Of course, this is not true. Conditions in the West Indies are to an extent worse than in the United States; yet, the average West Indian while in his home has not the slightest notion about there being any wrong there. Consequently, when he leaves his home he does so merely to hunt for work and wages. During the first years of his residence in the United States he is "a belly-animal" seeking bread and butter, and is not concerned with the affairs of the natives.

Item: that the spirituals were "group compositions," each a sort of monstrous coincidence. Not the accumulation of collections will dispel such a fallacy, but the repetition of even such qualified dissents as James Weldon Johnson's: "My opinion is that the far greater part of them is the work of talented individuals influenced by the pressure and reaction of the group." Some, indeed, are too eloquent to have been born otherwise than in solitude. Item: such eloquent pressions as Henry O. Osgood's: "The spirituals have a great THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 29, 1926 By KELLY MILLER If men on the heavenly side, and their own in the duel with race, especially the younger wed Godward.

The lamentable failure of some of our most boasted undertakings a year or so ago has dampened the ardor and chilled the spirit. if it has not cut the nerve of concerted business prospects. Mohicans.

During the young organizations living at the hydra The political movement has been decidedly retrograded. If the Negro is not convinced that he counts as a cypher in the political reckoning, he must be opaque to the point of obtuseness. To cap the climax, the President has just affixed his signature to a measure designed to wipe out the last vestige of political control on part of the race. On the face of the enactment the provision is ethically praiseworthy. An office holder should not be placed under tribute, directly or indirectly, by those who manipulate the political machine. But as ex-Secretary Slump is well aware, it is impossible to operate Southern Republican politics without placing the expectant as well as the rewarded office holder under tribute. The effect of this measure will be to eliminate every Negro from the slightest semblance of political leadership. Perry Howard and Bep Davis are the last of the DIAN IN H By EDGAR M. GREY be over. This is an insult. According to J. Babson Munn. statistical secretary of the League of Foreign-Born Voters (a white national organization), there are 1.126 persons of Negro blood in the Borough of Manhattan who are naturalized citizens of the United States. Of this number sixteen persons died within the year 1926. How many have moved away and how many have been naturalized during the year cannot be determined until the month of June, 1927, when the league makes its report. This leaves us, then, with a rough 1.110 who are entitled to vote. According to the World Almanac for the year 1926 there are a little less than 26,000 persons of foreign birth and of Negro blood residing in Manhattan. When 1,110 is taken from the base, the 26,000, it is seen that 24,890 is the number which is without the ballot. Of this number, according to the "Sandlers" Scale of Original Statistical methods," only 10,000, or about 49 per cent, would be of voting age, and consequently capable of being naturalized. It is evident, then, that if all of the West Indians who are of age were to become naturalized, the total voting strength would be less than 12,000, which, when added to the small sum of 34,000 of the more than 225,000 United States Negroes here who now bother to take the trouble to cast their vote, the total number of Negro votes in Harlem would be only about 42,000, not enough to give Harlem a respectable voting appearance. In all the years in which the native American Negro had had contact with the West Indian resident of Harlem, no attempt has been made by him to organize any Americanization campaigns among the immigrant. The Negro American has confined his assistance to the immi- vogue today, one that is hardly justified by the aesthetic value of any except a very small group of them." today indicate merely that the speaker has not taken the little trouble necessary to acquaint himself with more than a small group. More can be asked from no body of folksong than may be found among the spirituals. More, by the way, need not be aspired to by their admirers. Specifically, it is difficult to appreciate Mr. Johnson's concern that Negro themes should be commonly employed in this country as material for music in the larger forms; an anxiety underlaid by the idea which comes out in grosser form in Paul Whiteman's: "What folksong would Mohicans. However, the past year has demonstrated one clear political proposition. The race need look no longer to any party for political salvation. For this at least we may be thankful; for the crafty politician cannot hope to dupe the race in the future as he has done with repeated success in the past, with deceptive hope in the triumph of any particular party or politician. During the year our agitative organizations have been striking at the hydra-headed monster of race prejudice wherever it exhibits itself. But so fast as one head is bruised, just so face does another emerge as deadly as the first. We can but reach the symptom, where the disease is systematic. We must, however, continue to deal with surface indications, because we are wholly unable to reach the core. The literary movement has been more or less active. Several titles have appeared of Negro authorship that give interesting and encouraging indications. True interest of the white world in the output or Negro talent is still sustained. The so-called new Negro asserts his right to the title, although it does not yet appear what he shall be. The great philanthropic movements are in a deliberate and hesitant mood. There must be a social philosophy before there can be an effective philanthropy. You must know what you are helping a people for or what place they are to fill in the social scheme before philanthropy. grant to lip service. He has thought that the way to bring about a change in the national status of the West Indian was by abuse. He has mouthed the phrase, "Why don't you West Indians become naturalized," after each failure on his part to make any appreciable showing at the polls; he has compensated for his own bad showing by abusing the "monkey chaser." He has tried to make it appear that the purpose for which the West Indian came to this country was to become a citizen. He has disregarded the fact that the West Indian is in the United States because of uneasy obligations between the United States and Great Britain. He has failed to consider the fact that the West Indian has as much right to love his native home as the native American has to love the United States. Consequently, instead of approaching the West Indian with an argument; designed to prove that if he were to become naturalized he would help his race, he approaches him with the argument that the West Indian must change his citizenship status or leave the country. This is the one way that is not productive of the desired result. Organizations like the Y. M. C. A. the Urban League, and other civio and social units should institute programs in tended to Americanize the West Indian immigrant. WEST INDIAN LACKS POLITICAL EDUCATION. When the West Indian immigrant arrives in New York he seeks others of his countrymen with whom to reside and to associate. He is in a new environment as far as location is concerned, but he is still at home as far as contact and ideals are concerned. It takes about five years on the average for a West Indian to have amounted to anything if some great writer had not put it into a symphony? Dvorak's use of Negro themes doubtless helped the spirituals toward recognition, but the weaving of an integral living thing like a folksong into the structure of a symphony may place, even invigorate, the latter only at the expense of the former; it is by no means written that the "New World Symphony" will outlive "Go Down, Moses." Item (but this one still debatable): the theory gently questioned by Mr. Nisher: "Writers (usually not musicians) speak of preserving the 'original harmony' of the spirituals. Is there any to preserve?" The truth, as the writer then points out, is that two collections which painstakingly record the four parts as sung by Negroes exhibit except for a few features the most conventional harmonizations, contrasting with the many and often striking peculiarities of the melodies themselves. But Mr. Fisher does not discuss in this connection the EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS can be wisely applied. There is no clearly defined or understood race philosophy or race statesmanship. Why and whither is the puzzle of it all. So much for the retrospect; but what of the immediate present and the early future which we are now facing? What shall be the program for the year of our Lord, nineteen twenty-seven? Let each individual and organization continue the work to which it is already committed with renewed zeal and determination. All of these projected lines of endeavor are helpful in their several spheres. No one of them is adequate to the whole circle of racial needs. There is no likelihood of any radical departure from established and existing ways during the ensuing year. No new or exciting reform is now in sight. Let every one perform his accustomed task with sharpened race consciousness and a keener zest to survey the racial weal. There is, however, one common sense, common place, moral movement which should engage the interest and the energy of every Negro of light and leading. The cause of prohibition promises more beneficial results for the race than any other movement which is ready to hand and easy to espouse. It yields great political advantage. The old line parties are split in twain. The Eastern Republicans are wet; their Western co-partisans are dry. The Southern Democrats are dry; their Northern confederates are wet. read an American. Negro newspaper or magazine for any other reason than to find a job or to locate a flat or rent a room. The race books and other educational instruments are not known to him for years after his entry in Harlem; and, unless he is fortunate enough to meet some West Indian who has become "Americanized." he has no way whatever to learn of the longings and strivings of his American brother. The natives with whom he comes in contact during his working hours are not of the sort who are interested in political education themselves. The few who are interested are not in the frame of mind to teach the immigrant brother anything about the mysteries of the ballot and its use. It is almost impossible for a green immigrant to find lodgings in the homes of well-informed and political-minded colored Americans; the churches which he attends are either Roman Catholic, Episcopal, or some church where only his own people attend. Consequently he is entirely cut off from association with those of native stock who might be in a position to impart to him the benefits, racial and personal, which may be derived from the fact of American citizenship. Before the advent of Marcus Garvey, certain men of West Indian birth and extraction were engaged for years in spreading the gospel of Americanization to the immigrant. These men took up the fight on the street corners and from the platform of meetings and the like, and by 1918 had quite broken down most of the prejudices which the West Indian held against naturalization and were in a fair way to clarify the whole problem when Marcus Garvey came along and beflogged the matter by preaching the absurd doctrine that citizenship in the United harmonies recorded with equal care in the new compilation from the little South Carolina island of St. Helena; these indeed are often both allen and stirring in a harsh wild way and, coming from this isolated spot they help suggest the answer "some" to Mr. Fisher's question. And, while the possibly opportunist Snyder collection demonstrates that the simplest voice-and-piano settings will pass, Mr. Fisher's is a dangerous question, for future arrangers may read in its implied negative an unmean permission not merely to discard such racial earmarks as are available, but to produce "spirituals" suggesting "Les Six" or another blonde smiling at the front rows over her manuscript. Not every accompaniment in his own volume avoids such a horror. On the constructive side, through Krehbiel we have acquired as illuminating an analysis of this body of song as could be hoped for from a white man; in particular, the classification of over five hundred specimens "Cause of Prohibition Promises More Beneficial Results for the Race Than Any Other Movement as 1927 Dawns," He Holds The politician deals in only one commodity—votes. The essence of political ethics is success. If the Negro will stand by the Eighteenth Amendment with unfinishing firness, he will there exert great influence in the political equation. The women and the Negro hold the destiny of parties in the hollow of their hand, if they will only use it wisely at this critical interface. Political asperities, even in the South, would be greatly minimized if both races stood upon a common moral platform. The evil of lynching, of which the Negro so bitterly and so justly complains, is closely connected with the liquor evil. The decline of lynching and the abolition of liquor go hand in hand. The inrush of Negroes in the North finds easier and smoother adjustment to the new and strange environment because the handy saloon does not so quickly fan the evil passion of the rougher element of both races. If we want the nation to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, let us show our consistency by upholding the Eighteenth Amendment. Up to the present time, the States, or in any other place than in Africa, was for the black man a useless undertaking. In 1919 the writer organized what was then known as "The Foreign-Born Citizens' Political Alliance." Because of the lack of political experience the officers bartered away the influence of the organization, and it died soon after. WEST INDIANS IN POLITICS ARE ACTIVE. Notwithstanding all of the foregoing, the West Indian is found in numbers all out of proportion to his numerical strength in the Republican and Democratic political machinery in Harlem. And, like his American brother, he follows the same old line of political confusion. In the Republican ranks are to be found in all districts more than twenty-seven district captains who saw the light of day in foreign lands. Several of the candidates for office in the Republican organization have been of West Indian birth; the Democratic Party has placed as an official of the city judicial administration a man of West Indian origin. Most of the campaign orators and many workers are West Indians; and within the ranks of the Independents, in both the Republican and Democratic parties, are such men as Arthur Francis, William Cornellus, and others too numerous to mention, who have broken with the regular Republican organization and followed the leadership of Charles W. B. Mitchell, who is fighting for Negro leaders in the Harlem districts. In the, Democratic organization there are men like W. T. R. Richardson and Henry Seaton, who are fighting to have established the Assembly district form of political affiliation and the dissolution of the United Colored Democracy. Three hundred West Indians subscribed to which revealed that the oft-mentioned effect of "sadness" derives not from the use of the minor mode (actually uncommon), but from the raising, fatting, or studiously avoiding certain tones of the scales familiar to us, intensifying by strangeness to Western ears a melancholy otherwise dependent on deeper secrets of melody, rhythm, and form. Krehbiel's illustrations are a treasury of the weird, and while comparatively few, assay higher (see "Dlg Ma Grave," the passionate and somber "You May Bury Me in de Eas," and "Come Tremblem' Down." anomalous for its triple time and uncannily suggesting a primitive English carol) than any other substantial collection. Krehbiel's method has now been applied to new material by Mr. Fisher, whose volume, with its historical and critical introduction, bibliography, and notes to every song, is a model for future editors. The songs themselves—the several work of no less than ten musicians—are naturally of uneven merit as arrangements, but many are excellent and a Negro has shown little enthusiasm for the cause of prohibition. There has been little manifested ardor for the Eighteenth Amendment. Negro newspapers have not as a rule, insisted upon this racial policy. Even our ministers and churches have seemed to be lukewarm, both as touching the moral and political aspects of prohibition. The Y. M. C. A. is not on record for ardent advocacy of this law of temperance and righteousness. The Negro politician on the whole has been indifferent, if not disposed to the side of wetness. They have looked upon the issue from a purely political angle, wholly unmindful of the malze of moral inconsistency in which they entangle themselves. I call upon every upstanding and right-minded Negro in the land to take a New Year Resolution: "I will observe the Eighteenth Amendment and will encourage others to do likewise. I will vote for no man or party that does not favor the enforcement of the Eighteenth; as the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendmentes, without equivocation or evasion." NELLY MILLER --- the campaign fund of a recent candidate for office and the time seems not far distant when the numbers of the naturalized citizens will grow to a formidable number. IMMIGRATION LAWS HAVE INCREASED NATURALIZATION. The immigration laws have had the tendency to increase the naturalization desire among the West Indians and one may see dozens of West Indians undertaking the processes of becoming American citizens. The quota laws will eventually work a hardship on the American Negro, for the reason that it cuts off a proportional supply of black blood which would enable the Negro population in the United States to sustain its ratio to the whole white population, for the proportion of white immigrants who are permitted to come to the United States even under the present quota laws have given to the white Americans a decided advantage in population increase over the black Americans. Then, too, Great Britain has entered into an agreement with the United States, Department of State to so operate the quota system as to reduce the colored immigrants to the lowest possible minimum. There ought to be established in Harlem among all organizations a sort of Americanization machinery which would help to educate the immigrant to such benefits of citizenship as the following: The influence which the vote carries in controlling the education of the children of the immigrant; the holding of civil service positions, which pay more than non-governmental employment; the better protection in the courts and better protection against police brutality; and, finally, the definite racial benefit which would come to the whole race as a result of the increase in the voting strength. number new, while particular attention is due the heavenly "Sall Over Yonder" (Grant-Schaefer); Mr. Fisher's versions of "Give Me Jesus," "Don't Be Weary, Traveler," and "Troubles Gwienter Weigh Me Down"; the majestic "Ride On, King Jesus" (Gaul) and "Walk Together, Children" (Rosamund Johnson); and two notable newcomers from Tennessee splendidly arranged by Charles Fontneyte Manney. With Krehbiel's and Fisher's must be considered a third work, in reviewing which a well-known sociologist (himself coauthor of a volume on Negro songs containing no note of music) permits himself to say: "Ballanta's foreword is hardly the kind of foreword which the average person who is interested in Negro song could comprehend. His ultra-technical discussion of rhythm, scales, and tones; his theorizing on the characteristics of and differences between African and American Negro music are hard enough for a musician to digest, much less the ordinary (Continued on Page 18.)

For the first time in New York you have an opportunity to share in the ownership of a great company. We offer for investment units of stock that make you one of the owners.

With each three shares of Class The first Johnson volume has had the lion's share of public notice and has deserved it as the first token of an attempt at something definite, though, as such, both it and is successor exhibit the inexplicable defects of offitting any disclosure of the birthplaces and histories of the several songs. Mr. Johnson's forewords are too nearly biefes—very excusably so—but the spirituals are their own best advocates, and one grudges the space which might have gone to supplement such authoritative portions as the general description point, with definite information about the tunes and poems themselves. But too little, if anything, has been written about the two modest paper-covered Frey collections, one the first of all the recent company. Mr. Frey, best known as the composer of such witty and melodious ragtime as "Shakespearean Love." "Havanaol." "Callocco," thus meets one of two near-requirements: color, and a term served writing for Broadway (Mr. Johnson, writer of "My Castle on the Nile" meets both). If his work is properly light-footed, it displays also the feeling and understanding necessary to convey no less of dignity, sorrow, or exaltation than his subject requires, and while space permits mention here that treasured love of ruin gives the "Lonesome Valley" its seems to the writer the outstanding collection by any white man, and his the happiest guise in which a number of these gracious airs have found themselves.

Wednesday, December 29, 1926 Christmas Spirit WE STAND TODAY on the threshold of the New Year. Christmas — filled with good-will and good cheer for most of us, but crowded with sorrow for many others—is past. Never before have so many organizations and individuals endeavored to lighten the burdens weighing down the destitute, the needy, the sick, the helpless, the unfortunate, and those bent down with old age, than during the present Yuletide season. Without solicitation of any kind, Christmas baskets were given the families of the victims of the launch Linseed King, which went down in the Hudson River last Monday, carrying two score or more men to watery graves, by the company that controlled the launch, by newspapers and by individuals. THE NEW YEAR APPROACHES. What of the poor? What of the needy and helpless? What of the destitute families of the victims of the Linseed King? The Christmas spirit will soon subside and the poor be left to face the world alone, unless you face it with them. Their needs are almost as great and as urgent as they were on Christmas Day when many went out of their way to take them a little cheer. There are 365 days in the year. Christmas is but one of them. THE WORLD needs more of the Christmas spirit throughout the year, with more giving, more forgiveness and more cheer — more of the spirit of Him Whose birth we celebrate and Whose life we assert that we revere. Mrs. Brookins' Suit MRS. BLANCHE S. BROOKINS has brought suit against the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Pullman Company for damages aggregating $25,000, in that on last July 18 she was forcibly ejected from a Pullman car at Palatka, Florida, imprisoned and fined $500 and costs for the alleged violation of the Florida Jim-Crow laws. The amount asked is small compared to the enormity of the crime committed against her and the humiliation she must have suffered. THE TICKET she purchased and paid for here in New York called for through accommodations to Orlando, Florida. She was a passenger in Interstate Commerce and as such could not have violated the Florida Jim-Crow laws, which, incidentally, provide that common carriers make identical provisions for white and colored passengers in the State. The railroads make no such accommodations; nor does the Pullman Company. Therefore, if the Florida Jim-Crow laws were violated, they were violated by the railroad and the Pullman Company. HER CASE is, seemingly, a clear one and she should win it. And yet she may not win. Rules governing Interstate Commerce, too many Federal courts, and the Supreme Court have a way of rendering decisions which permit the Jim-Crow laws to operate the law. Awards ACHIEVEMENTS of Negroes in nearly all fields of activity are rewarded yearly by three separate organizations, each of which is filling a need in America and the civilized world. First and foremost is the Spingarn Medal awarded to an American of African descent for the most distinguished achievement during the current year over an accumulation of years. This comes the Amy Spingarn Prizes, literature and art, awarded each year through the Crisis Magazine. The Spingarn Medal and the Amy Spingarn Prizes grew out of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. COVERING practically the same field as the Amy Spingarn Prizes, the Opportunity Magazine, published by the National Urban League, a little over the years ago announced that awards would be made each year, and finally comes the Harmon Awards, which cover all of the fields covered by two previously mentioned awards, more, and which on Jan. 1, 1927, we have their first presentation. The Harmon Awards are made through the Commission on Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of the Church of Christ in America. Fine arts, science, education, literature, industry, religion, music and race relations of the fields covered by the last name awards. ALL THESE AWARDS should have stimulating effect on the Negro race and spur it on to heights hitherto considered out of its grasp. Already they have shown that in attempting to stand the Negro as a "hewer of wood and drawer of water," a virgin field of creative ability is being trampled under foot. GEORGIA is progressing. The St. installed a brand new electric chair use in 1927, and done away with having. But why only one electric chair when Georgia is a Jim-Crow Star? Looked terribly like social equality, us, at first, but on second thought there are few legal executions of Negroes in Georgia. WE CONGRATULATE the New York Age on reaching the age of forty years. ACHIEVEMENTS of Negroes in nearly all fields of activity are rewarded yearly by three separate organizations, each of which is filling a need in America and the civilized world. First and foremost is the Spingarn Medal, awarded to an American of African descent for the most distinguished achievement during the current year or over an accumulation of years. Then comes the Amy Spingarn Prizes in literature and art, awarded each year through the Crisis Magazine. The Spingarn Medal and the Amy Spingarn Prizes grew out of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. COVERING practically the same field as the Amy Spingarn Prizes, the Opportunity Magazine, published by the National Urban League, a little over two years ago announced that awards would be made each year, and finally comes the Harmon Awards, which embrace all of the fields covered by the two previously mentioned awards, and more, and which on Jan. 1, 1927, will have their first presentation. The Harmon Awards are made through the Commission on Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. Fine arts, science, education, literature, industry, religion, music and race relations are the fields covered by the last named awards. ALL THESE AWARDS should have a stimulating effect on the Negro race, and spur it on to heights hitherto considered out of its grasp. Already they have shown that in attempting to stamp the Negro as a "hewer of wood and drawer of water," a virgin field of creative ability is being trampled under foot. GEORGIA is progressing. The State installed a brand new electric chair for use in 1927, and done away with hanging. But why only one electric chair when Georgia is a Jim-Crow State? Looked terribly like social equality to us, at first, but on second thought, there are few legal executions of Negroes in Georgia. WE CONGRATULATE the New York Age on reaching the age of forty years.

Libertian Consulate, San Francisco, Calif. Dec. 23, 1926. Impressions of Dixie Garveyism and the N.A.A.C.P. in the South IV. FOUND an almost unanimous sympathy for Garvey and Garveyism in the South among all classes. The Negro's race pride, as I pointed out, is largely a reflection of that of the Nordic's, indeed, is a direct fruit of it, for in most other countries the so-called Negroes, as in Brazil, France, and even the British West Indies, think as nationalists first and Negroes last. But for the white American's race pride it is safe to say the American Negro would have as little as the French Negro. Garveyism thus comes nearest to the race pride of the American Negro, for when the Nordic says "White." Garveyism echoes "Black." As my friend Schuyler puts it, Garveyism is but the Klan philosophy with a bottle of ink emptied over it. Hence Garveyism is tolerated in the South, even welcomed by the whites. Moreover, it shifts the solution to Africa, which is what the Nordic wants. He knows that the Negro is so thoroughly assimilated mentally, that he is not going to leave America, since many, even when they go North, return. The Southeastern great fear is that the Negro will integrate at certain critical periods of the year and spoil his plans, hence a paper like the "Chicago Defender" is persona non grata, and like "The Crisis," has to be boot-legged in many places. White segregationists like the Klan, the Virginia crowd and the Bourbons of the South are for Garveyism but hate the N. A. A. C. P. "At three different gatherings of Bourbons this year I have heard DuBois and 'The Crisis' denounced. The reason is that C. A. P. has rights of the Negro here, and now. It will be recalled that the principal opponents of Garvey in America have been Negroes. In Africa it is different; the objectors are the different European governments. The whites also like Garveyism because it has furnished them much comedy. The N. A. A. C. P., so far as I saw, was almost non-existent in the South, where it is needed. I heard Atlanta and Knoxi I heard A. C. P. denounced, on both occasions the Negroes charged with killing it were pointed out to me. Negroes who take a definite stand on citizenship rights are marked men. In a city in eastern Tennessee I heard minister after minister, in a ministerial alliance, refuse chairmanship of the Civic Committee, and a suggestion was made that three men be appointed, without naming any as chairman. The duties involved attending to citizenship rights. Hence, while the southern Negroes are mustering courage enough to form a militant organization, Garveyism has a useful mission to perform. It teaches Negroes that a black skin is as good as any other, and trains them to be the leader of the movement. Perhaps the majority of Negroes' in America never look into a book or a newspaper written by Negroes, Divisions of the Garvey movement were to be found in almost every town I visited. Another thing I found militating against the N. A. A. C. P. was the charge that, with the exception of one or two of its officials, it was high and haughty. I have heard this in every part of America, some of the individuals being heated in their denunciation. So far as I can see the best step at present is for the northern Negro to invade the South with radical literature. And the first step is in his own hands, for it is from the South that issues the virus of race hate, perpetually poisoning the nation. More than ever do I realize that it is the migration of whites from the South that is responsible for most of the segregational fills in the North. MISCEGENATION AND PROSTITUTION. The following from the Louisville "Times," a white newspaper, Sept. 24, 1926, will speak for itself: To the Editor of the Times: I would like to ask through your columns the Mayor, or Board of Safety, permits Negro women to solicit white men who pass along Liberty street between Seventh and Eighth streets, which is today a business thoroughfare. These women are permitted by the Police Department to skate on the sidewalk, smoke cigarettes any time during the day, and play the brade among white men and boys, etc." Bu J. A. ROGERS THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Note the chief objection seems to be business. This is the sort of thing that goes on in every southern town I have been in, with Norfolk, Va.: Newport News, New Bern, S. C., and New Orleans being the worst I know of. Concubineage goes on everywhere. In each town I made inquiries from the so-called common people, and heard the same story. In the town of Tuskegee where race relations are not so friendly, an old man took me around and showed me the homes of several colored women, who, he said, had children for white men. When I digs under the surface he also finds considerable reciprocity on the part of the Negro male. This is what is worrying the white Southerner most. He knows that the white woman shares his taste for colored folk. Jerome Dowd, in his recent book on the Negro, congratulates himself and the South that intermixing has stopped, attributing the lightening color of "the race" to union of blacks and mulattoes. "Cases of intermarriage and also of illicit intermarriage seeming more rare." Rare! Mr. Dowd, of course, lives in the South. Needless to say, there is no protest on the part of Negroes against concubinage, since, in most places, it would be unsafe. It is the other type of union that worries them, and when it was rumored that Roland Hayes was to marry a white woman a wall of anguish went up that surprised me. "Equality" goes on galore under cover in the South, or should I say, covers! INTERRACIAL COMMISSION An Interracial Commission, with hundreds of branches in several Southern States, operates from Atlanta. Its aim is peaceful penetration—to build up a better understanding between the so-called races—and conducts an up-to-date news bureau, from which it broadcasts to thousands of white newspapers the more constructive news about Negroes and whites also. That dissatisfaction is heard in certain quarters, some so-called Negroes complaining that the Commission is, on the whole, excellent, and very much better done than not done at all. I had two lengthy interviews with R. B Eflenzer and WIl Al- Conditions Bad in Kansas City Walter White Also Says Race Relations Are Tense Walter White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports from Kansas City that race relations there are tense and that much bitter feeling exists over segregation, both residential and in schools. A report on the serious race tension in Kansas City, drawn up by J. Lance and forwarded by Mr. White, includes the following facts: Schools: Inadequate buildings for colored children, five of the 13 schools having old-fashioned privy vaults. No junior high school nor college nor special trade school for colored students such as furnished for white. Police: Colored people complain of brutal beatings at the hands of the police, stopping of fair colored girls riding in automobiles with darker escorts, employment of bloodhounds to find criminals in congested, Negro districts, etc. Stores: Discrimination practised by not allowing colored people to purchase goods on same terms as whites. No lunch LETTERS Miscegenation and Prostitution Rampant oxander, leaders of the movement, and both struck me as being much sounder on the question than many of the so-called Negroes. If the white men of the Commission are not Lovejoys and Garrisons, neither are the Negroes Douglasses and Denmark Veseys. Some of the southern universities, particularly the University of North Carolina, are doing splendid work along this line. The prospect of educating both colored and white up to the point where they'll believe that color is only incidental—that a human being to exist must have a color of some sort, hence that one color is as good as another—is far from being a hopeless one. THE INTELLIGENTSIA. Harlem is undoubtedly the center of Negro intellectuality but it is a long way from having the monopoly of it. Almost everywhere, and particularly in Nashville, I met men of nine intellect, and quite as forward thinking. In almost every town I met men, some of them graduates from the best American and European universities. There are many Negroes of distinction who are not in town to call of whom I had never heard, and probably would never have, had I not gone out among them. Barred in one way or another from the large libraries, the theatres, concerts, operas, such as exist, the Negro intellectual in the South has a difficult time in maintaining his standing. In their eagerness to keep Negroes in some state of servitude, the Bourbons, like their slave-holding ancestors, seem afraid to give them time to grieve and create a reality, or place obstacles repugnant to a man or woman of fine soul An example: A friend of mine took me with my book "From Superman to Man" to see the librarian of the State library in Richmond, Virginia, with a view to his buying one. This he did, declaring himself glad to get a copy of the fourth edition, as the already had a copy of the first edition. I forgotting that I was in the South, I went into the reading room, and just as I had done in dozens of other libraries, started to make myself comfortable with a book, when an assistant called me and told me that I couldn't stay in there, that I was violating the law. There are colored libraries here and there, but with the exception of the good ones they are equipped with quoted books, having the air of coming from the attics of white people. Among the Negro literateurs I met was C. Leon McAllister, principal of the Howard High School at Chattanooga, Tennessee, whose book "One Clear Call" is soon to appear from the Macmillan Press of New York. The work deals with the eternal triangle, and has all white characters. Much that I started to say has, perforce, been left unsaid, but I finish as I began by saying the fine friendliness of the colored people make the South a place one will want to visit and visit again in spite of the Nordics. THE END. or other facilities for colored women shopping downtown. At Krusge's colored people may buy hot dogs, but may not stay to eat them near the counter. Population: Increase from 23,000 Negroes and 248,000 whites in 1910 to 35,000 Negroes and 350,000 whites in 1926. In 1926 Chamber of Commerce estimates 40,000 Negroes and more than 400,000 whites. Housing: Congestion has enormously increased. Old and un sanitary houses for Negroes. harboring disease germs, make the rate much higher than the white. The Linwood Improvement Association: Proposes to force out Negro families in the district by asking the Park Board to condemn their property for park purposes. Louisville Editors Grateful for Defense Messrs. I. Willis Cole and William Warley, the two colored editors of Louisville, Kentucky, who were tried and fined $250 for their bold utterances condemning the railroading to death of colored men accused of crime, have thanked the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for paying the entire legal fee of the trial amounting to $500. The Louisville Leader says editorially: "The case is not that of the editors alone, but all Negroes, all newspapers, especially those published by Negroes, and we appreciate the many kind words from friends and citizens here and there, and the contributions made to the defense fund.

When age, worry or disease chaf from their normal color to silver fashion decrees that dyes be used to ful appearance. This custom of ancient custom. But there are many MOST women and some men are slaves to fashion. Quite often fashion gets them into trouble. The crowning glory of a woman is supposed to be her hair, and the "great concern" of dapper men is the mustache and the beard. When age, worry or disease changes the color of these from their normal color to silvery gray or whiteness; fashion decrees that dyes be used to bring back the youthful appearance. This custom of dyeing the hair is an ancient custom. But there are many kinds of dyes. At the present time there are four classes of dyes. First, the organic vegetable dyes, such as henna, indigo, logwood, sage and camomile; second, metallic preparations, such as silver, lead, copper; third, a compound mixture made up of vegetable dyes and metallic substances; fourth, aniline chemical compounds. nylens-diamine. It is estimated that about 1 per cent of individuals are susceptible to this drug, resulting in a dermatitis, or inflammation of the skin. The scalp and the face become swollen and itch and tingle intensely, vesicles form and When you desire to dye your hair, if you are a slave to fashion, be sure you buy and use a vegetable dye. It is the least harmful of the dyes mentioned. Metal dyes are essentially dangerous to the skin and by absorption to the internal organs. I have seen many cases of poisoning from the use of metal dyes. The chemicals they use are synthetic organic compounds, a chemical mixture of two or three organic chemicals reacting upon each other, forming a final preparation. The chief of these is para- "Negro Should Create Hindu Lawyer Says He Sh Not Imitate the W "Negro Should Create His Own God" By EMMA LUE SAYERS LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 24 (Pacific Bureau).—Nordic pride and prejudice were in the face here by the Hindu lawyer and haram Ganesh Pandit, B.A. (Bombay), wife at length on the subject.

Prides and prejudices are based in false assumption of knowledge or in rank ignorance, according to Mr. Pandit. He gave as a basis for this assertion Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and stated that the fig leaf covering for Eve only hid the nakedness of prejudice; that is, it was synthetically produced for religion on pretense of wisdom. "That is pseudo-science," said Mr. Pandit, "yet it gives prejudice the semblance of a half-truth." All of this revolves on who are "white persons." It has been proven that a "white person" is not always one with light skin, which is very impracticable, and to use his own words "even the Anglo-Saxons range from the fair blond to the swarthy brunette, often running much darker in color than lighter hued Negroes. Magazine in Geneva Accepts' Pickens' Article A letter from William Pickens, now lecturing in Europe, states that an article written by him on "The Race Problem in America" has been accepted by publication in the January 1927, La Revue des Nations, an international magazine, published in DEPLORES STERILIZING RACE Mr. Pandit晶 redemption of the world which only meant Nordicizing and sterilizing other races into likenesses of themselves. He stressed the point that Negroes should be themselves and not imitate the white man. "Why should the Negro, for instance, accept the Nordic's religion, his Heaven, his Hell?" he asked me. "The Negro should create his own God in his own likeness as other races have done." S. G. Pandit came to America twenty years ago, took out naturalization papers a few years later, married an American white woman and has acquired considerable property in Arizona and California, including a $15,000 home in Los Angeles. The Government sought to dispute his citizenship and brought action under the cumulative method provided by Section 15 of the Naturalization Act of 1906 to cancel his certificate under the claim the applicant was a Hindu and therefore not a "white person." The Government also contended that the certificate was illegally procured. Yet Mr. Pandit, at the time of the action, had been a citizen of the United States for nine years. Mr. Pandit recently won a decision Supreme Court at San Francisco on the ground that he had lost his citizenship and forfeited all rights to his ancestral home and valuable property in India through his loyalty and allegiance to the United States. penny, nickel, dime and dollar is appreciated.

It is estimated that about 1 per cent of individuals are susceptible to this drug, resulting in a dermatitis, or inflammation of the skin. The scalp and the face become swollen and itch and tingle intensely, vesicles form and a pus gets into the skin. This same preparation causes furs, stockings and clothes. If the furs and clothes are of a cheap grade, the proper time and preparation in washing is not given, and some of the dye remains in the fur or clothes. When these come in contact with the skin a chafing of the skin occurs and the dye penetrates into the tissues and produces a poisoning inflammation. Dyes for hair should be discouraged.

Magazine in Geneva Accepts Pickens' Article A letter from William Pickens, now lecturing in Europe, states that an article written by him on "The Race Problem in America" has been accepted for publication in the January, 1927, number of La Revue des Nations, an international magazine published in Geneva, Switzerland. In the course of his article, Mr Pickens interprets the race problem in America as being "easentially an economic struggle, but an economic struggle sharpness and enlivened by race differences." He asserts that "the keeping down of the Negro has proven to be the least troublesome way of keeping down white labor and white under dogs in America." The position of the race problem, Mr. Pickens holds, will be vanishing of the "color line" into a class or economic line.
