NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 19, 1927 Entered as second-class matter Dec. 31, 1909, at the Post Office at New York, under the Act of March 3, 1879. SECTION ONE PORO COLLEGE FOUNDER DEFENDANT IN DIVORCE The Negro and State Rights ATTORNEY J. ALVA BATES of Chicago, Ill., in his address to the National Bar Association last summer, gave of a fund of knowledge and logic in his description of the effects of the doctrine of State Rights upon the aspiring Negro group of America. In these days when national characters, like Governor Ritchie of Maryland, Governor Smith of New York and Senator Blease of South Carolina, continue to drive home the alleged virtue of almost absolute state sovereignty, it behooves the Negroes of the country constantly to refresh their recollection of the meaning of the doctrine of State Rights, for, as Attorney Bates ably showed, the State Rights doctrine, particularly as interpreted by Southern democracy, is the most dangerous Harvard Student Not Under Arrest Harvard Student Not Under Arrest Erroneous Story of Brevard's Death Sent Out by Reporter WORCESTER, Mass., Jan. 17. Through an error said by the Worcester, Mass., Dally Telegram to have been made by a Cambridge, Mass., reporter, it now would appear that Leslie E. Brevard, 21, a senior at Harvard, who committed suicide in his room in Cambridge, was not arrested and charged with theft a few hours before he committed the act, as reported in the Amsterdam News and other newspapers. Funeral services over the remains of the young honor student were held at Worcester last Monday and were attended by prominent white and colored people of the city and several Harvard students. Among the first messages of sympathy to the student's parents was one from C. N. Greenough, dean of Harvard University. His message read: "I have just heard from the infirmary the sad news of your son's death and I beg that you and the other members of his family will accept my sincere sympathy." John W. Herr, president of the Kex Club at the university, sent a wire saying that his organization extended its sympathy to the parents of the dead student. A tribute was paid the young student by Prof. Hosea B. Campbell at Harvard, who sent the following message: "May I convey to you my sincerest regrets on the untimely death of Leslie. I had a warm friendship and admiration for him. It is too grievous that a young man so promising should have come to such an end. There surely must be a great deal of conolation for you in the thought that you did so well on your part as devoted and helpful parents." Messages from schoolmates and teachers in this city also were received by the parents. The boy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Brevard, who live at 9 Clive street, have been overcome with grief since the first news of their son's untimely death.

P. HARDEN LOSES SUIT AGAINST PULLMAN COMPANY J. P. HARDEN LOSES SUIT AGAINST PULLMAN COMPANY Chicago Lawyer Sought $25,000 for Alleged Refusal of Atlanta Ticket Agent to Sell Him Reservation WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.—A demand by J. P. Harden of Chicago, a lawyer, that the Pullman Company be ordered to pay him $25,000 damages because, as he alleged, an agent of the company refused on July 7. 1923, to furnish him Pullman accommodations from Atlanta to Chicago, was rejected in a decision made public Friday by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The action was brought by Harden under Section 2 of the Interstate Commerce law which, the commission pointed out, simply prohibits charging one person more than another for a like and contemporaneous service. It was held that the refusal could not have violated this section, and also that the complainant offered no evidence in support of his claim for damages. Undue prejudice in violation of Section 3 of the law, the commission stated, had not been alleged or established by proof, and added further that "we are without jurisdiction to award punitive or exemplary damages." The action had attracted some attention, as Harden not only sought damages, but asked the commission to require that the Pullman Company "cease and desist from such unjustly discriminatory practices against colored persons, generally." The complainant's unsupported testimony was to the effect that a ticket agent at the Atlanta Union Station had refused to sell him a reservation and had told him to apply at the next ticket window. A second agent, Harden charged, although he had just sold a ticket to a white person, informed him that "we do not sell Pullman tickets to niggers down here," and "in offensive, and threatening language told the complainant to get away from the window." In the course of its decision the commission called attention to testimony in a somewhat similar case by the General Agent of the Pullman Company, who stated that the company made no distinction in favor of white passengers against colored and that colored persons were furnished with accommodations, provided they were available.

Malone has filed a suit for divorce against his wife, Mrs. Annie M.

The business was launched by Mrs. Malone. The Argus article says the suit was filed in the Court of Domestic Relations Thursday. The receiver was appointed the same day. Most of the article follows: In his petition for divorce, Mr. Malone states that he was married to Mrs. Malone April 28, 1914, and that they separated in February, 1925. That is, it was about that time when Mrs. Malone had his clothing and effects removed from his apartment and had the keys changed on the door to make sure that he could not get in. In the meanwhile it is cited that the locks on the library were also changed, all to his great humiliation and embarrassment. Malone was possessed of a violent, ungovernable temper, quarrelsome, cold and indifferent toward him, and would not speak to him at times in Orphans' Home Board meetings, thus trying to humiliate him before his friends, and has not spoken to him at all since May, 1926.

Supreme Court Decision Sets Aside Auction Sale of Liberty Hall Justice Levy Says Garvey Officials Had Amount Due Strong Service Corporation Hour Before Sale—Carper Holdstein Appeals Liberty Hall, which had been threatened with the auctioneer's hammer some half a dozen times, went down for the final count two weeks ago to Casper Holstein, philanthropist and patron of Negro literature, for $92000. But a hall, like a man, may be down and not out. and the Garvey stronghold has not only won out against the auctioneer's decision, but has won a new lease of life and two new lawsuits. One of these is being brought by Casper Holstein for alleged libel on the part of the Garvey officials. 139 WEST I25th St. (Opposite Koch's) JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE All Goods Reduced TWC Supreme Court De- Auction Justice Levy Says Garve Strong Service Corr Sale—Carper H Liberty Hall, which had tionerer's hammer some half the final count two weeks a thropist and patron of Negra a hall, like a man, may be Garvey stronghold has not o tionerer's decision, but has woe new lawsuits. One of these Holstein for alleged libel on t The decision ordering the return of the hall was handed down by Justice Aaron J. Levy in the Supreme Court a week ago. Justice Levy decided that the Garveyites had on hand the day of the sale the $12,156 owing the Strong Service Corporation, therefore the foreclosure was illegal. Further, Justice Levy expressed himself in no uncertain terms to Attorney Brandels, representing the Strong Service Corporation. Frederick A. Toote, acting president-general of the U. N. I. A., through his lawyer, Armin Kohn, told Justice Levy that the $12,156 tendered the Strong Service Corporation on how, before the sale, but that the money was refused, Brandels the court that the sum was short, but the Garveyites produced a bank account showing where full sum had been deposited. Casper Holstein, in buying the property, declared at the sale that his purpose was to save it for his race and the Garveyites, but this the Garvey officials deny, pointing to the alleged fact that several days before they had offered him $10,000, which he had refused. Holstein, they insist, is far from being a friend of the organization. They also allege that he is being backed by Jewish real estate interests, who are eager to acquire the land. HOLSTEIN'S STORY. Holstein, who did not appear at the hearing before Justice Levytold a representative of The Amsterdam News that he had taken part in the bidding with the same apparent good faith of the other bidders, after the referee, following a conference with the Garveyites and their counsel, had told the auctioneer that the sale would go on, as the money was insufficient. "As a citizen of Harlem and a member of the Negro race," he FISHEL 139 WEST 125th St. said, "I felt the property should be saved for my people. Knowing, also, from the many times the place had been put up for sale, as well as the heavy mortgages now on it, that it would be only a matter of time when a similar thing would occur. I decided to act once for all, acquire the property, and turn it back to the organization. "My interest in the transaction was solely in the hope that something tangible would or could be done and that in later years the Negroes would something worth while done by Negroes. Interest is not in Garvey nor his cabinet but in the whole movement as of the people. "At the sale I asked H. C. Bourne, a former Garvey official, to tell Toote that this was my intention, but Toote sent him back with a scathing answer. I have appealed the decision, and if successful I shall turn it back to the people with honest leadership, leaders that will stop bleeding the people and cause their propaganda against governments and peoples." Holstein says that he has helped the U. N. I. A several times before, coming to its aid once with $1,000, which was used to incorporate the Black Cross Navigation Company in New Jersey after the failure of the Black Star Line. This sum, it is alleged, was never returned. He also declares that he had no intention of buying the place until after he had been approached several times by Attorneys E. O. Austin and Thomas Dyett and later by one faction of the Garveyes, led by Bootson and later that led by Bootson, the place had been up for sale the third time by the Strong Service Corporation, a white cern; it was only then he decided to act in order that the place should not pass out of the hands of colored people, and bought out the entire stock of the corporation. Several anonymous letters and telegrams have been received by Holstein, and he declares that he has been libelled by a circular said to be issued by the Garveyites for a Justice Levy's decision. This circular charges Holstein with conspiring with "Jewish real estate interests" to get hold of the place.

Every effort, they say, is being made to retire outstanding mortgages, after which plans for a new building, which they declare had been under way for some time, will be carried out. With the $12,150 paid, the indebtedness on the building is about $3,000. The property was bought in 1919 for $110,000 from the Metropolitan Baptist Church. ANOTHER FORECLOSURE. Soon after the auction a foreclosure was made by McDonald McLean, a printer, for an alleged printing bill duc. McLean, with a marshal, started to attach the chairs. Holstein again appeared to save them, but the Garvey officials the money, amounting to about $700. While attachment proceedings were going on, the lights suddenly went out, during which McLean received a severe beating at the hands of several Garveyites.

Simultaneously with the filing of the suit for divorce, attorneys for Mr. Malone fitted suit for receiver for Poro College. Immediately Conrad Paeen, lawyer, with offices in the Arcade Building, was appointed temporary receiver, and qualified at once under a $50,000 bond and has entered upon the discharge of his duties. January 20 is set as the day to hear the merits of the case before judge Hartmann in Division II, Circuit Court. Mr. Malone has asked that the affairs at Poro College be wound up, and that the assets be divided equally between himself and Mrs. Malone. By order of the court, Mrs. Malone is restrained from disposing of any of the assets of the business or property until the case can be settled in the courts. In this case, Mr. Malone has put up a $10,000 bond. This is just the first skirmish in a legal battle where a million dollars is involved. But, like all other institutions which reach the hands of receivers and high-powered lawyers, very seldom is there anything left for the principals. "In this case, Chas. Nagel and firm for Mrs. Malone, it will be pitted against Edward Foristel and firm, suppleman of the Atray, Abbott Bippee, who will lend a little color to the great legal battle for Mr. Malone. While it has been generally rumored that there was an estrangement between the heads' of Poro Collega, for quite a while, yet everything, because of the prominence of the parties, was kept at a whisper until the Standard News, a local newspaper, published what is called the "inside story" of the whole thing, which brought the matter to the fore. It is that some interesting reading matter will be furnished the public before the case is over. Deception, hypocryt, intrigue and even cruelty is in the wake. Mrs. Malone could not be reached for a statement, nor could Mr. Malone be located, but "it" is understood that the Professor is ready to talk.

Garvey Suit Justice Tierney sitting in Special Term, Part III. of the Supreme Court, dismissed the complaint of Mrs. Amy Ashwood Garvey, and the counterclaim of Marcus Garvey, Wednesday, January 12. This was the formal end of the famous divorce action of Garvey vs. Garvey, which came to trial in November, 1926, after pending for more than four years. A jury found Mrs. Amy Ashwood guilty of adultery with a man, named Frazier, and found Garvey guilty of adultery with Miss Amy Jacques, his present wife. As far as the State of New York is concerned, Mrs. Amy Ashwood Garvey is still the legal wife of Marcus Garvey. Colorful News Movies (Continued from Page 1.) barrier which the Negro has to face during the next half-century. The Constitution of the United States clearly states that each native-born or naturalized citizen of America is (1) a citizen of the United States, and (2) a citizen of the State in which he resides. Under this doctrine, such a citizen owes allegiance to the United States, as a unit, and to that State area, or part of the United States in which he resides. In turn, the United States as a unit and the States as an entity sovereign owe to that citizen certain protection and privileges. It is in the assignment of these privileges and this protection that the alleged encroachment, so vigorously protested against by executives like Governor Ritchie of Maryland, is said to take place, followed by the question as to how far the United States, as a unit, can go in providing civic peace and political and social freedom to citizens of the United States, who daily are concurrently subject to the police power and supervision of a State. In other words, may the United States enforce the Fifteenth Amendment, so frequently described by the State rights protagonists as being contrawise to State statutes? May a Federal antitrusting bill be passed and made effective in the face of State machinery to punish crimes? May Jim-Crow laws, under State statutes, continue to flourish, though not anticipated by the Federal Constitution? The latter have, of course, been upheld by judicial precedent, State and Federal, time and time again in fact, it is upon the sacredness of the "precious" States' rights doctrine that segregation and Jim Crowism continue to flourish without abortive remedies. Yet, when an international war is in the saddle, no State has the power to deprive the United States of the services of a single citizen in the protection which is needed by the parent Government, in its guardianship of itself as a whole, and its component parts. In peace, however, the parent Government can go only a limited distance in preserving, and stimulating the rights which a citizen may expect from his State sovereignty. Why? Oh, well, that would be encroachment—a stifling of States' rights. Mathematically, we know that no single part of a whole unit is as great, as strong, or as potent as the whole unit itself. In the offing, however, we learn as a practical truth that the doctrine of States' rights can expand or contract the civic comforts of a citizen, dependent upon whether or not, for instance, the citizen resides in New York or Alabama. Amid the present trend of the debate, there is nothing which the Negro is still study as a subject as his rights, as body by Federal and State citizenship. He has the right to seek to achieve the highest benefits in each zone, Federal and State; and when he realizes that he is receiving only lesser benefits, it is high time for him to take his case to American opinion and precedent; for alas, if the Amsterdam Ave. Butcher Robbed Pushed Into Ice Box and Till Rifled of $165 Shoved into his ice box by a big intruder bent on robbery and then forced to stay inside at the point of a revolver. Frank Klemm, white, proprietor of the New Stadium Market. 1488 Amsterdam avenue. near 133d street, was robbed of $185 shortly before 10 o'clock. Friday night. Klemm was alone in the rear of his shop cleaning a chicken when the man entered, walked back to Klemm and asked what the butcher had in his hands, adding that it seemed to be a chicken. Klemm laughingly replied that it was a goose. He bandit then whipped out an automatic revolver, at the same time showing the startled butcher through the opened door of the big ice box. He threw the catch partly into place. Rifling the cash drawer of $155 in bills and coining the intruder scattered 30 cents in pennies over the floor which he did not bother to gather up. He made a hasty departure, pausing once again before the ice box to warn Klemm. "Don't come out—I'll fill you full of holes if you do!" States' rights doctrine continues to develop. The Negro is facing the dungeons of neglect in the decades to come. SCORE U. S.

The resolution was passed after an address on the Nicaraguan situation by Luis Valladares, a native of Central America and a student of Columbia University Law School. Valladares, who has been in this country for a short while, told of the social, economic and political struggles of the peoples of Central America. He said that the people are greatly misrepresented, and that the lives and property of Americans and forefathers in Central America are not in danger.

Williams, who were appointed representatives of the National Negro Development Union and the National Centre Political Party to ask President Coolidge for aid in preventing lynchings, returned Saturday from Washington, where they saw the President on Friday. "The President deplored the fact of lynching."

He promised to take up with the Attorney-General the suggestion of having martial law declared in the place where Negroes were lynched just as soon as the lynching occurred, on the theory that a riotous uprising was imminent or had existed." Action of this nature was taken in Herrin, Ill., following a riotous uprising. The difficulty in obtaining passage of an anti-lynching law was cited by the President, who recalled that, while he was Vice-President, Senators opposing the Dyer bill filibustered four days. The resolution presented to the President was adopted at a mass meeting held here December 19 and calls on him "to enforce the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments with the same vigor as the Eighteenth Amendment, and that protection be given Negro citizens as the exigencies of the circumstances demand, making it impossible for a Negro's life to be taken with impunity to satisfy the whims of a blood-thirsty group of fiends." Mother and Three Children Murdered UNIONTOWN, Pa. Jan. 17.—A quadruple murder, a mother and her three small children being the victims, was discovered Thursday at Lambert, near here, when residents of that coal mining village turned out to fight a fire in a colored miner's home. Those murdered were Mrs. James Williams, 35, her son, 4, a daughter, 5, and a younger daughter. When village residents entered the burning, home they found Mrs. Williams and the children in a bed with their heads crushed. The murderer fired the house, the police believe. Williams, a miner, left his home at 4 a.m. that morning to go to work. The fire was discovered four hours later. Willalms was held for questioning. JAMES BUTLER GROCERY CO.

Mr. Rhinelander's counsel do not require the consent of the Appellate Division to appeal the remainder of that court's decision, which upheld Justice Morschaers denial of a decree of annulment to Rhinelander. The Appellate Division decision was not unanimous on these other points. Justice Lazansky dissenting. Justice Lazansky did agree that the $12,000 fee was just and proper, however, and that particular point may not be appended without the consent of the Appellate Division. Jacobs argued that when Supreme Court Justice Tompkins, at a preliminary hearing, set a much smaller sum as counsel fee to be paid to Mrs. Rhinelander he expressly stipulated that no further award should be made until it was clearly shown by her attorneys that additional money were necessary for defense of the suit. No such evidence had been presented by her attorneys, Jacobs said, and therefore the $12,000 award fixed by Justice Morschauser was improper and illegal. It had been the contention of her attorneys that they needed this amount so that researches might be made in foreign countries to determine the racial origin of Mrs. Khlinlander. No costly researches of that character had been made, he said, and there was no real necessity for payment of such a high fee.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 17—Mrs. Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the mother of Abraham Lincoln, will be honored by the State at Lincoln City, Spencer County, where Lincoln's youth was spent. The Lincoln moved to that city in 1815, and the Great Emancipator lived there from his seventh to his twenty-first birthday. Mrs. Lincoln died there. The Indiana-Lincoln Union, a committee of 125 prominent persons, was appointed by Governor Jackson to carry out the memorial project. Governor Jackson said: An ordinary marker near Lincoln City in Spencer County betokened the loss of the wounded cabin in which Lincoln's early life was spent, while across the dusty country road a wooded trac harbors the last sleeping place of the great Civil-War president's first friend, counselor and supporter—his mother. "I propose that the people of this State, in unison, rear a national shrine expressing our deathless devotion to the soul of the great departed and his mother." "Illinois, where Lincoln rests in eternal sleep under a beautiful memorial; Kentucky, his birthplace, and the District of Columbia all have shrines to Abraham Lincoln, but Indiana, the scene of many of the stories of his rallisplitting feats, has scarcely a marker in his memory." School Teachers Healthy WASHINGTON, D. C.-According to a study made of the health of school teachers by Dr. James F. Rogers, chief, division of physical education and school hygiene, published by the Bureau of Education, the absence of teachers from school on account of sickness, as compared with records of industrial workers and clerical groups, seems to indicate the superior health of teachers. Contrary to general belief, statistics show that, the teacher is not more subject to diseases of the respiratory organs than other indoor workers; nor to diseases of the digestive organs. In regard to nervous diseases, however, and especially nauseaism, or nervous exhaustion, records are not so favorable to the teacher. There are approximately 35,500 Negro school teachers in the United States. 35-per cent of whom are females.

Bethune Tells of Migration "The Migration of the Negro to the North" was the subject of the address given by Mrs. Mary MoLeod Bethune, founder and president of the Bethune-Cookman College, Daytona Beach, Fla., last Wednesday at noon, before the Women's City Club, 22 Park avenue. About fifty persons were present at this meeting arranged by the committee on correction. Mrs. Martha P. Falconer, former chairman of the committee, presided. Mrs. Bethune said, in part: "Since 1915 fully a million Negroes left the South to make their homes in the North. This was but the bursting of a dam that could no longer hold against the restlessness that agitated the South at least thirty years. Opportunities for a rounded development in the South were poor—the Negro came North. "The war cut off from American labor at the rate of a million a year. The Negro was used to fill the places made vacant by the immigration legislation. This created a new problem for the North, and likewise a new problem for the Negro." In telling of the problems created, Mrs. Bethene spoke, in her energetic way, of the housing, labor, school and general economic conditions. She urged that America, first of all, and then the different sections of the country—the States and the cities—adopt a broader scope of welfare and social service. To think in terms of opportunities for the Negro, and then, eventually give him those opportunities, may be a solution to America's Negro and migration problem. The remaining eight million Negroes in the South must be tended at their source—on the soil which is theirs. Among those present were Charles S. Johnson, editor of Opportunity; Mrs. L. L. Cowan, Mrs. Mamie Taylor, Mrs. Edwin S. Horne, Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman, Dr. Valera H. Parker, Mrs. Lionel Sastro, Miss Rachel Hopper Powell, Mrs. Charles L. Parmelle, Mrs. Ralph Hickox, Miss Marion Hidyoke, Mrs. Joseph Hardy, Mrs. Grace M. Johnson, Mrs. Melissa M. L. Lowe, Rosawit Dr. Katherine B. Davies, Mrs. Augusta Slesinger, Dr. Helen Montague, Mrs. Mary E. Paddon, Miss Minnie B. Wade, Miss Katherine C. Hildreth and Dr. Bakewell of Australia. ».

The collection Dr. Henry Goodard Leach, editor of the Forum Magazine and president of the Schomburg Advisory Committee, presided. In calling attention to the fact that the collection is "the largest of its' kind in the world." Mr. Mother! Now You Know How To Help Your Puny, Weak Child EIGHT Arthur A. Schomburg Dr. Henry Goodard Leach zine and president of the tree, presided. In calling attention is "the largest of Leach pointed out the tremendous influence its being placed in the library where all could reach it was bound to have not only on the minds of white and colored New York City, but on the nation. Dr. Hopper, in congratulating the library on the acquisition, said that one of the most hopeful signs in the race problem is in waving usages, as being made Harlem." The policy of the Public Library, he said, was to foster the cultures of the various groups that go to make up the nation, as a remedy against "the barrenness of American life" which he, said, had been brought about largely by "the cramming of Anglo-Saxonism in discriminately down the throats of the people." Mrs. McDougald predicted that the collection would prove of tremendous educational value not only to those engaged in creative work, but to the great masses of the race. "Colored people," she said, "lack inspiration because they don't know what their historical background has been, and here they will find evidence to prove that it has been as great as that of any other race. She further told me that people prove beneficial not only to the more than 500 colored school teachers of the city, but the white ones, some of whom in Harlem were now teaching about Frederick Douglass, not having done so before simply because they had never heard about him. TRIP TO SPAIN. Mr. Schomburg, speaker of the evening, told of his recent trip in search of "Spain's colonial records Quick Relief for Stiff Joints and Sore Muscles Johnson's Belladonna Plaster Makes You Feel Fine Almost at Once Don't limp around in agony any longer, when a Johnson's Belladonna Plaster will give you almost instant relief. Don't be discouraged because other remedies have brought you only temporary relief. Try a Johnson's Belladonna Plaster which gives lasting benefits—warmth, and gentle, continuous massage to the sore, contracted muscles and stiff joints. The beneficial effect of Johnson's Belladonna Plaster is lasting because the medication is held in full strength directly against the skin over the sore, lame parts and is continually absorbed as long as the plaster remains on the body. If your muscles and joints are stiff and sore from overwork or unacustomed work, from exposure, Rheumatism or any other cause, get a Johnson's Belladonna Plaster at the drug store and put it on you will marvel at its quick and wonderful effectiveness.

That little boy or girl of yours—that doesn't weigh enough—that isn't strong—has no appetite—lacks vigor and is perhaps backward, listless and timid. What are you going to do with him? Have you ever heard of McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets—sugar coated and as easy for alling children to take as candy?

Hopper, library director, and Miss Ernestine Rose, librarian of the Branch, the presentation was made by L. Hollingsworth Wood, chairman of the National Urban League Board. for sources of Negro history" and was warmly welcomed, receiving at the end of his stirring a address applause that was still greater. Speaking of the collection, he said it was the fruit of thirty-five years' work, beginning as a boy in Porto Rico, where he was born, and with no dream that the collection would one day be placed in a library, all being for his own pleasure. The first books collected were those of Negro authors of Spanish descent, he said. In speaking of his arrival at Seville, Spain, he said that he had been "thrilled beyond words to be in this city from which Columbus had sailed for the discovery of the indies." Arriving there one of his first visits was to the Cathedral of Seville, where he made some wonderful findings among the vast masses of unicatalogue manuscripts and other documents that had been deposited there from the discovery of the New World until the final loss of Spain's American colonies. Among these were pictures of white and colored soldiers together, who had fought in the conquest of Spanish America, as well as papers confirming the fact that the first bishop of Panama was a Negro. Francisco Xavier Lura y Victoria. With these were letters from several other dignitaries protesting to the Pope against the appointment, as well as one from the Pope confirming the appointment, and speaking in the highest terms of Francisco, who was also the founder of the University of Panama, one of the earliest in the New World. Schomburg also told of seeing in the cathedral three marvellous pictures by Juan Paregn, slave of the great painter, Velasquez, and writer by Sebastian Gomez, slave of Writer which were so excellent that for a long time they had been taken to be the world's these two great masters, but which years had been properly credited and how here the artist's name "We should be very proud of these two men," he said, "men born slaves, who were so able to grasp the technique of painting. In an age when no stress was laid on color, just imagine how many works of this sort may lie hidden!" Modern Negro slavery began in Spain and Portugal, and Negroes lived for hundreds of years in these countries. Schomburg told of visiting their former quarters, and how in Seville particularly they had all been absorbed by the white population, the only relics of them being on the names of the streets, one of which was "Mulati." He also told of a leading club formerly founded by them like Francese Tavern of New York City, but all of whose members were now white. When he asked whether any of the descendants of these Negroes were alive, he said, he was introduced to a member of the club, but No need to give him any more nasty Cod Liver Oil — McCoy's Tablets, rich in vitamins, are made to take the place of that good but evil smelling, stomach upsetting medicine, and they surely do.

Simpson, famous leader of the Monarch Band, were shocked to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. killa Simpson, his wife, on Thursday, Jan. 13.

One of the eminent Negroes of that day, Schomburg said, was a black Count, Juan. Another was Juan Latino, professor in the University of Granada, who had the reputation of being "the greatest Latin scholar of his day in all Europe." He was able to find records that Juan Latino was a great favorite of the King and that the two, together with another Negro scholar, probably Leo Africanus, used to walk the streets of Granada together. Among the interesting persons he met, said Schomburg, was a professor, whose doctor's theses were on Juan Latino. For more than half an hour Schomburg spoke on, proving a veritable encyclopedia of rare facts on Negro history, and thrilling his hearers. In addition to being the leading Negro bibliophile. Schomburg is president of the American Negro Academy; grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of New York; the author of several bibliographies and pamphlets, and head of the mailing department of the Bankers' Trust Company of Wall street. He was recently awarded one of the Harmon prizes for his work in Negro education. In the collection, which is now housed on the third floor of the 135th street library, are new manuscripts by Koran written by a Nubian of the interior; military orders in the handwriting of Toussaint L'ouverture; "Religious Beliefs" and "Nursery Tales" of the Zulu, written in Zulu; manuscripts of Alexander Crummel and Paul Laurence Dunbar.

Sterry's arrest was under a provision of the criminal statutes which has been invoked on only two other occasions in the history of British law—namely, the celebrated cases of Rex vs. Bradlaugh and Rex vs. Foote, London, Benedict and Rex, connection with the publication of the famous Free Thinker of that time. Attorney Cross went to Canada in 1815 and became editor of the Atlantic Advocate. He is solicitor for the Rationalist Society of Canada, which body has volunteered to back the editor of the Christian Inquirer "to the limit." "I am taking this case because of my appreciation for freedom of thought," announced Mr. Cross. I am a colored man but I can understand my saye. I prefer slavery of the body to the slavery of the mind, and I would rather go back to the former than retreat from the latter." "I received a telegram from New York, which stated a fund of $10,000 was available," said Mr. Cross, "so as to get the assistance of Clarence Darrow." With offers of financial assistance to insure "a fight to the finish" pouring in from atheist and agnostic sources in Great Britain, Germany and the United States, the pending trial has assumed international significance. A sympathetic Canadian source offered to finance the defense to the extent of placing at Sterry's disposal the services of one of the most eminent criminal advocates in this Province. But as Mr. Cross, who is a Negro, could only consent to accepting the offer if the other counsel was as judicious to himself, the proposal collapsed. A leading official of the American Rationalist Society in Detroit has sent word that $2,000 will be immediately forthcoming to swell the defense fund. "It is far more important," this official stated, "even than the evolution case at Dayton. It involves more than a philosophical theory. It is a fight for the free exposition of what a large body of the public regards as the truth and will be fought by even a large body of the public—namely, organized religion."

That's why she gladly contributes her honest opinion of home-like Bond Bread. "I find that keeps f than any "I find that Bond Bread keeps fresh better than any other loaf." ITS HABIT of keeping fresh is but one of the many good things about Bond Bread that Mrs. Hoston could have mentioned. Like thousands of other careful housewives who serve Bond Bread daily on their tables she knows that it keeps fresh and retains its home-like flavor because of the guaranteed purity of ingredients firm, close-knit texture and the careful baking. Bond Bread always comes up to expectations. Nobody can buy better bread than the hon Bond the home-like Bond the home-like Bread operated with the housing commission appointed by the Governor; through her this council kept in active touch with the nearest neighboring councils. Acting as chairman, she collected funds from the Harlem theatres and from private individuals to assist the victims of the 134th street fire. Again, as chairman, she did much to stimulate and sustain the interest of parents in school conditions in Harlem, through the Parent Association of Public School No. 89. She rendered volunteer service by referring individuals who needed aid to the proper agencies, and went to their homes and assisted in times of distress. Although the mother of four children she is active in her church and responds to every request for assistance and service.

Anderson and A. A. Austin, president of the Antillean Holding Company, were unanimously elected to membership on the Executive Board.

Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, brought greetings from that organization. Curtis J. Beard, treasurer of the New York Urban League, reported on the financial status of the organization.

"The great task," said he, "of the Urban League is still that of getting the Negro inteo industry, enabling him to secure an adequate wage." Mrs. Lyndon H. Caldwell, vocalist, rendered two selections, accompanied by Miss Olive Jeter.

PRIVATE TUTORING PROFESSIONAL All Subjects—Reasonable Prices Day and Evening Reduction for Classes R. JAMES COOPER 316 WEST 189TH ST. Audubon 5470 Subjects or Aliens Islanders Ask Attack Naval Government in Petition to Congress Declaring that they do not know whether they are "citizens of the United States, wards of the nation, subjects or aiens," 600 Virgin Islanders living in New York have sent a petition to Congress attacking the naval government of the islands for causing "depopulation and economic distress," and asking for a permanent government "more in keeping with American democratic ideals." The petition will be used in arguments before the Senate Committee on Insular Affairs, which will hold a hearing on the Virgin islands in Washington today. Delegates from St. Thomas and St. Croix, the largest islands in the group, will submit their grievances. A. A. Berle, Jr., New York attorney, will accompany these delegates as counsel for the Virgin Islands Congressional Council, of which Casper Holstein of New York is president. The 600 signers of the petition are natives of the former Danish West Indies who migrated to New York since the transfer of the Virgin Islands to the United States in 1917. They charge that Congress has not kept its promise to provide their country with a civil government, and that as a result they are "men without a country." They cannot exercise civic or political functions as citizens of the United States and have no vote. Their presence in New York, they state, is "a melancholy proof" of the conditions brought about in the Islands by nine years of navy rule "unatisfactory to more than four-fifths of the islanders."

MARJORY ROBINSON'S Kindergarten (Winter Term) Coachmen's Union League Bldg. 252 WEST 138th STREET Phone Bradhurst-7199 100 Public Spirited Citizens Organize to Aid Pullman Porters That the fight of the Pullman porters to organize a union that will aid them in their effort to secure a higher wage and decent hours and conditions of work has won the support of the travelling public is indicated by the announcement of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters that a Committee of One Hundred of the most prominent colored and white citizens have been organized "to place the true facts of the porters' case before the American people, with a view to stopping reprisals against supposed union men and assisting them in securing a living wage." The announcement was made at a mass meeting of the committee held at the Community Church, Thirty-fourth street and Park avenue, last night. Henry T. Hunt, former member of the old United States Railroad Board and ex-major of Cincinnati, is chairman of the committee and president at the office of the other speakers were Thomas J. Curtis, vice president, State Federation of Labor; Dr. Norman Thomas, director, League for Industrial Democracy; James Weldon Johnson; Henry J. Chapman, organizer, Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, and A. Philip Randolph, general organizer, Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. "The success of the Pullman porters will help to win for the Negro race those social rights so fragrantly denied it now, rights it can never hope to secure as long as the Negro race is denied the position of tip-taken, rather than to be dignified rewarded for labor honorably performed," said Dr. Thomas A. Philip Randolph pointed out that though "ours is fundamentally an economic fight, we cannot forget that we are Negroes. This position is forced upon us by the present attitude of the Pullman Company, the leading power in the railroad for allied membership the Brotherhood and at the same time making agreements with the white conductors." White German Woman Saved From Slavery LONDON, Jan. 14.—The German Legation at Kabul, on the border of Afghanistan, with the approval of the German Government, has purchased a white woman, a former German subject, to prevent her being sold by her deceased husband's brother in the open slave market, according to the Berlin correspondent of the Daily Express. In 1921 the German woman married Abdullah Kahn, an Afghanian tobacco merchant, and went with him to Africa, where he subsequently died. The widow decided to return to Germany, but discovered that, under native laws she passed, with other property of her husband, to his brother. When she rejected the brother's proposal of marriage he threatened to sell her in the slave market. Diplomatic protests proving unavailing, the Legation bought Abdullah Kahn's widow outright, and she is now a legal possession of the German Government. Casminski Elected Secretary of Arista Jesse L. Casminski, a Negro senior at the DeWitt Clinton High School, was elected secretary of the Arista League, according to the Clinton News of January 14.

"I expect to run for the presidency of the general organization on February 1," said Mr. Casminski, when asked of the next event of note in the school. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. H.

Says He Did All He Could to Bring Lowman Lynchers to Trial COLUMHA, S. C., Jan. 17.—Gov. Thomas G. McLeod, who goes out of office January 18, is definitely on the defensive. In his farewell message to the Legislature Wednesday he made a somewhat extended reference to the lynchings of the three Lowmans at Alken last October, saying: "Notwithstanding misrepresentations to the contrary, which it is against the best interest of public policy to discuss here, I have zealously endeavored to ascertain the guilty parties and bring them to justice. Very early after the lynching an earnest and sincere investigation was begun on my part and considerable progress made. There has not been any letup in energetic investigation since I began the inquiry on October 18, preliminary investigations having been made previous to that time. "There has been no intervening court at which this matter could be presented and the regular term of court convenes the fourth Monday in January. It was my wish and I earnestly endeavored to have a special term of court called previous to this time in order that the evidence secured might be presented to the Grand Jury during my term of office. "This matter was submitted to the Attorney-General and Solicitor, the proper officers chosen by the people for the prosecution of this and all similar crimes. The special term did not meet with their approval. "The calling of a special term is not the right or prerogative of the Governor. To these officials I attribute the same honesty of conviction I claim for myself. Evidence has been obtained and placed in hands of these representatives of the State and the investigation is being vigorously carried on at this time. "I earnestly hope that law-abiding citizens will back up the prosecutions; that the jurors will have the courage to do their duty; that the perpetrators of this horrible crime may be brought to the bar of justice and dealt with as they deserve." Gov. McLeod recommended that the penalty now provided by law against common criminal lynchings be substantially increased and that taking part in lynchings as principal or otherwise disqualify an individual from citizenship where the verdict itself does not disqualify; that is to say, where CHARLES STEFENSON Of Seventh Ave. participants are found guilty of crimes less than murder. He further recommended that the South Carolina oath of office, which now requires a declaration from every individual assuming office, that he has never taken part in a duel, be amended by adding the following clause: "I have not since the —— day of —— taken part in a lynching set principal, accessory or otherwise and I will not during the last decade office to whom have been elected appointed take part in a lynching set principal, accessory or otherwise." Gov. McLeod has been recommended for appointment to the Federal Trade Commission, and his appointment was opposed in a resolution passed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was sent to President Coolidge. Copeland Gives Rules for Preventing Influenza WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—If we are to have a repetition of the EMS experience with influenza let us profit now by what we learned then, writes Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York, who continues: What did we learn? The first thing is that influenza is a hand-conveyed disease. Spray from the nose and throat carries the germs, and this moisture reaching the lips or the nostrils of another will lead to the infection of a susceptible person. But the common way to get the germs is from the hands of influenza patients. Following are rules of conduct which will help to ward off the disease: 1. Wash the hands frequently and invariably do so before eating. 2. Keep the hands from the face and on returning home at night wash the face with soap and an abundance of water. Wash out the openings of the nostrils whenever the face is bathed. 3. Brush the teeth thoroughly three times a day. 4. If you have occasion to cough or sneeze cover the face with the handkerchief and under no circumstances receive in your face the moist blast of another's sneezing or coughing. 5. Eat in no place where the table utensils are not boiled in the cleansing process. Eat sparingly whenever and wherever you eat. 6. Sleep a lot in a well ventilated room. 7. Go about your affairs calmly and unafraid. 8. If you find yourself sneezing with eyes running and a feeling of feverishness, go home, take a hot bath and go to bed. If you are not all right the next morning call your doctor. BestAmusementPages SHALL WE MAKE USE OF THE RADIO? in Greater New York Clarence Muse at the Lafayette Next Week Why Can't We Have a Broadcasting Station in Harlem? Voice of the Negro, Reaching Out Into the World, Reaches Thousands of Hearers The idea of a broadcasting station in Harlem, to be controlled by Negroes, came to us the other night and we again take the opportunity of rising with a suggestion which we hope will not be flung down. Hundreds of our people are seeking the ear of the white man to carry the story of ourills, our hopes and our aspirations, and to our way of thinking, nothing better could be resorted to than the radio. The voice of James Weldon Johnson telling the story of the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that of the venerable Dr. W. E. B. DuBois and Walter White, to say nothing of the others with the same organization, would receive strict attention at the ears of listeners-in who would not otherwise hear them, and perhaps many would be won over to the cause of fair play and justice for the Negro. Then we have the National Urban League, with such brilliant speakers as Eugene Kinnick Jones, James H. Hubert and others in this organization, working heroically in their way towards Negro uplift. What more resonant voice would go out into the air than that of Philip Randolph, of the Messenger Magazine, of which he has talents towards securing for the Pullman porters rights which they have been denied in all the years of their service? Mr. Randolph is also surrounded by an array of talent many of whom can surpass lots of speakers now heard over the radio. Of course somebody big in the affairs of Negro leadership would have to start the move, and we hope the little fellows won't be in the bleachers showing how they can monopolize the microphone to tell of our lilies. A thing of this kind must carry the story of our position and our claims without antagonism.

For once we ought to work together and try to put this over, for if nothing else there are thousands of Negroes scattered within the radius over which our voices would go out, who would perhaps be reached in the appeal for assistance from worthy organizations. Last possibilities, my brothers. They have enough places in them to have access making with the assistance of our white friends, and we hope these lines will reach somebody in a position to start a move for a broadcasting station in Harlem. Just imagine: A story appears in a daily paper charging some "big, black brute" with an attempted assault. That night comes a voice over the radio saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is station N-E-G-R-O broadcasting. We are voting to tell the truth to offset the lies you have been reading about us today. Sam Smith, the Nerro charged with attempted assault, is a lad of sixteen. He is an honor student at Bilven's High School and was on his way home when he was attacked by ten roughnecks.

Missing Daughters Liscomb's Latest Author Also Interested in Production of Movies "Missing Daughters," the latest novel by Harry Francis Liscomb, is to be published during the summer by the Stokes Publishing Company, the concern with which he has a three-book contract. Attention was turned to Liscomb in 1925, when his "Prince of Washington Square" came from the press. This book was one of the few books published without having had a "blue pencil" mark on the manuscript, a journalistic adventure, more or less. At present Liscomb. 21. is employed as a clerk in the United States Custom House. Between Writes 2nd Book A. B. work hours he devotes his time to reading and writing. "My real desire," he says, "is to become a director of motion pictures. I have written stories for four of my favorite movie stars—and I like to direct the making of the pictures." He contributed short stories to newspapers and magazines. The attention of J. Gordon Edwards, then general director of the Fox Film Corporation, was attracted to him through some of his scenarios. He offered Liscomb a position on the staff of authors, but his parents objected to his accepting it.

SCHOMBURG HAVE read Bandmaster A. A. Adams' critical article, printed in the Amsterdam newspaper, relative to certain portions of an article published in the November issue of Opportunity under the editor's caption "West Indian Composers and Musicians." The article is one of a series printed in divers times and places and now forming an album of historical essays which will bear my name as compiler. It was not my intention to include the Bandmaster series, now the Virgin Islands series, to include the band or orchestra of the musicians of Rico or Martinique. It was essentially concerned with a few who had gained meritorious commendation for their talent in those islands. It is within the compass of Bandmaster Adams to write of the musicians of his home, who are entitled to every measure of publicity. In fact, there is still a field open to the gathering of the harvest. It calls to mind the case of the famous drum-major of the Queen's own, the Golden Fraser "a singer well and plays his bourbon" a black yellow from Jamaica whose rare mezzotint picture was not long ago quired at 25 pounds sterling to a Harlem Negro doctor from the tropics and returned with the words not interested. This same picture was nowhere to be had when in London last summer. The whites who admired and appreciated the musical services of this fellow are in the band of the Negro doctor from the tropics who composed the band of the five or seven Negro regiments which the English formed at the behest of Major Ralph Albecombe when he was unable to defeat the Negro troops at Fort Fortune, were held to keep the Negroes from getting into their heads the doctrines of the rights of man promulgated by the French Revolution and disseminated in the various islands by Victor Hughes. Mr. Adams is very kind and consistent in emulating the Negroes, who contain very many of the several incarcerations related to sketches of the young Brindles. It is to be reprinted that I made these, and offer my sincere apology to the learned bandmaster. However, until do-mystary proof is presented, I question and challenge the statement made by Mr. Adams "that had it not been for St. Thomas the musical world might not have had a celebrated Brindia de Salas." In the Diciosario Biografico Cubano, by Francisco Calcagno (New York, 1878, pp. 125-127), is set forth that Claudio Jose Domingo Brindis, and not Claude Joseph Dominique, as Adams would have us believe to his name. The first of the first classes on him, and certified in his baptismal papers He took "Brindis de Salas" from his father name upon which his fame was further enhanced. During the year 1861 the father took his two sons on a concert tour through the principal cities of Cuba to show his fellow men the musical education and the proficiency the boy, had attained in the technical rendition of printed music. Senior Chicago in his authoritative work states: "At last the father was able to send him to Paris, where he had as teachers Charles Dancia and David (Leipzick) and such famous tutors as Leonard and Sivari. At the Conservatory he first obtained distinguished mention and letter award the first prize (F. 157 ante). Mr. Adams's mention to her a letter from the Paris Conclation which shows that the second. Instead of the first prize was awarded to Brindis. Such being the fact I have nothing to say. The letter anoints for itself Brindis de Salas gave concerts in San Juan, Porto Rico. He lived in Kingston, Jamaica, and in San Juan, Porto Rico. I mention these places because there is in Boston, Mass., today a violinist who received instruction, from the talented master, and the same holds good for Porto Rico with an accomplished young lady. During the year 1893 he remembered that a friend who remember the furore he caused when to played with W. H. Lords Lord's residence in Washington Square before New York's elite society was carried away by the superb playing by the King of Octaves. It may be possible that Mr. Cornroiro, who saw the eminent musician in Porto Rico in the days when the sun gently commenced to descend and finally disappeared below the horizon of such a brilliant career, would not mar the reputation won by sustained labor in the music industry. He was his own countryman, Jose White, who preceded him that has not been recognized that day by any member of his race. I may here appeal to remind the ingratitude is considered the harsest of all sins. What matters if Corneiro saw him when a 2½-carat diamond graced his small finger and now it had been relieved of the burden because of the advent of pecuniary difficulties. History has numberless records of such cases. The high or the low "to" in adversity heed not a diamond when the call was made. The "to" in adversity Czar are bebedded through the chancellors of Europe and yet we feel a deep sense of sympathy for the way they were launched into eternity. It is the human problem of bread. The work of Calcagno, quoted herein, is the source from which I got my information concerning Brindis de Salas. The book is avail-able in the public library, and I may wish to verify the facts. I was nowhere when Brindis de Salas first played in Poetry and when he returned from his European successes I was too young to grasp what the people were talking about. Not until he played in a concert of the City, did I realize the magnitude of the artist. Having heard violinist from above, I admired the Spalding, can admire in a reflective mood the mastership and technical skill of this talented son of Negro loots. It the people of St. Thomas raised a subscription to send Brindis de Salas to Paris, he was, in my opinion, unkind not to return and pay his respects to the people who were his benefactors. He was a sojourner in many places and remained in Porto Rico until the advent of the French Republic, where he died in poverty. The rumor was circulated that he intended to bring the body of this famous artist to his native soil for an interment commensurate with the need of glory he gave to the world. If republics were not unmindful of genius of many men would be squared to their capabilities and sustained by employment in fields suited to their ability, rewarding talent in a measure that should be called and few are able and satisfactory to all concerned. "Many are called and few are able and few deprived of sales placed his name for the adoration of posterity. Clarence Muse Here Next Week Clarence Muse Here Next Week Former Dramatic Star Returning With His Latest Version of His Charleston Dandies Clarence E. Muse will be returning to this city next week to offer his latest edition of the "Charleston Davies," which, if we are to accept press reports, happens to be one of the best offerings of its kind new on the road. Of course, the show is another one of those revues, but this is the age of the revue, only that. Clarence will most likely bring us an added touch with some dramatic offering on his part. The last time he appeared here Manager Frank Schiffman of the Lafayette Theatre was so pleased with his "D" version as offered in the full New York many years ago, he presented Muse with a timepiece worth two hundred dollars. This splendid act upon the part of the well-known manager inspired Muse to further efforts along his now chosen line, and shortly after leaving the city he got busy putting together another show. Some time later he sent a letter from Muse, naked the list to consider offering something else dramatic when he comes to the Lafayette. This week Connie's Frolic continues to hold the boards at the Lafayette and drawing well. Despite the bad weather of last week, business continued good at the popular menu house and, from all indications, was week and next should see a repetition of the large crowds. Fess Williams Returning to the Savoy on Jan. 28 Tea Parties Now in Vogue at Popular Ballroom — Harold Parker Now Assistant Manager We admit that last Saturday night was one of the coldest and most disconcerting we have had this winter, but such a night is one on which we choose to put to test the popularity of those places which, remembering their advertising chatter, lay claim to being first in choice among the folks of sundown hue in this neck of the woods. So we hied to the Savoy shortly before the midnight hour and you would think you were in Palm Beach with nary a thought of the inclement weather, with icy winds that seemed to reach right to the bones, on the outside. They were there alright, alright. Savoy followers to the museum members dancing to the tunet forth by men who seemed to take as much enjoyment in playing as the dancers did in dancing. This, then, was the acid test and we have to kick in and acknowledge that old Savoy continues to hold her place as the most popular ting of its kind in these parus. Harold Parker in spiked and span "soup and fish" greeted us as we and suspecting the top of the stairs, and suspecting the soothing water was amiss we betook ourselves to presence of Messrs. Buchanan and Fagin to find out the why if not the wherefore. So they eased us the news. gently. Harold has been made assistant manager at the most beautifully laid out and pretentious ballroom in the world catering to colored people. It would seem that Harold to find an eagle eye, on Harold to find an eagle eye, up and he was not found wanting. They were tickled to find that Harold is all they thought of him and when opportunity whispered they answered in loud tones: HAROLD (PETE) PARKER and our boy was it. To cap the climax of says which is the announcement of the coming, the returning, rather, of Pes Williams and his ten-piece orchestra, again play before the pleased thunder that entered music in the past. Then Saturday afternoons, Bostonically speaking, at series of "Tea Dawnawnts," if you know what we mean, add to the popularity of this place with its Our Weekly Letter to Lucette MY DEAR LUCETTE: Thanks for the kind words anent our attempt in the last issue to serve our readers instead of handing them the backwash from the Augean Stables which still carry the smell of South Street, "City of Brotherly Love," vicinity of 12th. WE almost lost inspiration for this letter when one of our successful young promoters almost cornered us as were on our way out the other night. You know, Lucette, it is hard to be forced to stand by and hear the hopes and inspirations from lips of men who when riding on the crest of a wave of a vapid material success forget certain duties which they owe their fellowmen, to say nothing of obligations created when they were trying to get up in time to stave off the count of TEN. AND, with an audience listening in from their broadcasting station of B-ULL—an audience not in a position to know these people as we do, although in oracular speech they would convince even you that they knowwell it all—it even nauseates to hear the applause which might very well go to their production of naked shows. Yes, Mr. Ziegfeld covered: the ground thoroughly, especially when he pointed out that the speech can speak presently and would have us believe they have spoken in their career where they speak with authority on every phase of the Negro problem because of the few more dollars they possess today than they did yesterday. VERP, I agree with you. Such foli de rol is for the critics in those centers dependent upon their generosity. Those critics who in their day, when the Negro journal was still emerging from a stage whereby most writers were forced to accept dinner invitations to be 'able to work' in the field, were forced to work along with the voluntary contributors who crave more to see their name mentioned than anything else, that day has long since started towards what we have oftimes referred to as an age whereby "those that were" can be found vegetating. Of course we still have the barnacles. Those who wanna work with us on nothing than face WORK in all its reality. We realize that we work with people who parasites covertly striking at their masters, who do their daily task and let what they do speak for itself. YOUR pardon, dear LUCETTE, if you think these thoughts are pestelmatic. We are now owes to the work of our factory—Sunday, and one which again finds us enjoying that beautiful mantle of snow of which we speak some weeks back. The day dawned bright and clear, and with the coming of the sun to past meridian one can again appreciate nature unadorned. Ye gods! We hope old "Nu"s to use that as added cause for us, or his undrappled females argument.) It is the added day, a manifest enjoy and take added inspiration from, which leads us to the next paragraph and the question of the Krigwa Players. ON the eve of the writing of these few lines they are preparing to again present some plays around at the public library, and if those supporting the movement need an outsider to tell them what is thought of it we have but to look at the little folder, with an artistic drawing Doughs, and draw new courage from these words: "An attempt to make the Little Playhouse which shall be primarily in center where Negro actors before Negro audiences interpret Negro life as depicted by Negro artists; but which shall also always have a welcome for all artists of all races and for all sympathetic comers and for all beautiful ideas." Then, my Luccette, we can rise with all the enthusiasm in the world to tell them that they are deserving of the support of all thinking men and women. AND if you need further proof of the worthy move and desires of these people let us cull from the back page of that same little folder that message carried under the head of "Our Playhouse": "The Krigwa Players Little Negro Theatre is a free stage. It has been established the effort of the Public Library and the Players. It will be further decorated with theatrical plays or any group which wishes to give a play is invited to use the prayhouse, under certain easy conditions which the Library and the Players will formulate. We hope by plays, lectures and informal social gatherings to make this room or place of wide inspiration for all dark people everywhere and for all their friends." AND what further proof need I turn to for the truth of these things, which I have here said to you from week to week than to reproduce in full the idea as presented on the same little folder by some brilliant mind? The newspaper, the church and the stage I have always considered publishers of public opinion, and in attempting to mold our own in right place, have present with rare pleasure this inspired appeal of these Krigwa Players to you and the audience covered by readers of this column: "Today, as the renaissance of art comes among American Negroes, the theatre calls for new birth. But most people do not realize just what must come in. The Negro is already in the theatre, and has been there since time immemorial presence there is not yet thoroughly normal. His audience is mainly in the black actor Negro actor has for a long time, been asked to entertain this more or less alien group. The demands and ideals of the white group, and then conception of Negroes have set the norm for the black actor. He has a singer and lay figure of all sorts. Only recently has he begun tentation. Ordinary human being with everyday reactions. And here he is still harnessed and put forth with much hesitation, as in the case of 'The Nigger', "Lulu Belle" and the 'Emperor Jones". This development, naturally, then, the best of the Negro actor and the black actor have not been called for. This could be evoked only by a Negro audience desiring to see its own life depicted by its own writers and actors. "For this reason, a new Negro theatre is demanded, and it is slowly coming. It needs, however, guiding lights. For instance, some excellent groups of colored amateurs are entertaining colored audiences in Cleveland, in Philadelphia and elsewhere. Almost invariably, however, they miss the real path. They play Shakespeare or Syringe or reset a successful Broadway play with colored principals. The movement which has begun this year in Harlem, New York City, has one of fundamental principles. The plays of a real Negro theatre must be one. For them they must have plots which reveal Negro life as it is. Two: By us. That is, by Negro authors who understand from birth and continual just what it means to be a Negro today. Three: For us. That is, the just what it means to primarily to Negro audiences and be supported and sustained by their treatment and approval. Fourth: Near us. The theatre must be in a Negro neighborhood, near the mass of ordinary Negro people. "Only in this way can a real folk play movement of American Negroes be built up." wholesome atmosphere and they are sailing right through the winter months with success spelled with a large S in less than the year in which that retinue of fine men came to give us, such a fine "Palais de Danse" for the small price of admission charged.

'Ren- nowned authors and celebrata- wrights whose works are widest rea- l and seen by innumerable admiers have failed to add new laurels to their dimenom of glory because of their mobility to "click" successfully as sensrista. Logically speaking, the fault is entirely their own. This is a without bias to motion picture, garments or the writers drafted for screen duty. When a popular novelist, customized after years of literary craftsmanship to writing short stories in length from 15,000 words to ten in length, her is obliged to "boll down" his books of 500 words. He himself is not a writer, but has been unjustly imposed upon him, without any anticodent admonitions from the screenwriter. Under the circumstances, the disaffected writer, "exeged" by a "fabulous laboriously on him" while working laboriously on the film of screen authority. But in more detail, he is capable of doing along their lines to admit, after weeks, not gratuitous work, he's a "bust." He has it hard, limited space, fully in such a limited space. Brevity of expression while adapting to the other writers-to-the-screen has been best known as the scenarist's success. In order to be successful in the scenario writing, one must be intellectually. Elaborate wording and a nourishing style. While composing a scenarist's writing, to the scenarist editor to whom he is submitted for his jurisdiction. He is asked to write in your "story idea" and now you make the script. The script must also be spiced with a sorrowful action and emotional tempo. How do you make the script to intone that the embryo-screen should stoop to the composition of your script to curse your script with fury and touches. Write briefly and simply an excellent chance of succeeding in your script.

HOWARD WILL PLAY LINCOLN ID our two mermaids enter the swim contest at Catalina Island? Announcement of Schedule Quiets Rumor of Trouble Between These Two Leading Schools IF they did, how did they come out, swimming or walking? Which forces us to again point out how ready the average colored paper is to relay bum news to trusting readers. NONE admire the spirit of the young ladies more than the writer of this column, but, readily foreseeing not only the obstacles that would be in the way with less young readers, but with the ability to overcome with such an attempt, we could not kid them by lending encouragement where it would do the most harm. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.—The Board of Athletic Control of Howard University has had to establish a waiting list for a number of institutions desiring a place on the Howard University football schedule. There are only nine possible dates in the Howard season. This makes it impossible to play all of the schools desiring a place on the schedule. The "Bisons" next year will undoubtedly attempt the most difficult schedule in recent years. Bluefield Institute of Bluefield, West Virginia, has given the West Virginia Collegiate Institute a stiff argument for the past few years. Having this team placed first on the Howard schedule means that the "Bisons" will have to get going earlier than last season. SPLASHING around in Youss Women's Christian Association pools and a strong desire to be the "first colored girls so honored," to our mind, was not sufficient for us to follow the lead of those other papers running pictures and boosting something of which they knew so little. It is criminal for them to occupy a position wherein they are supposed to give correct information to the public. ANOTHER sadly misjudged gentleman planned to raise funds from the public to send the ladies on a holiday junt to California. That's all it would have turned out to be, as swimming in the placid waters of Pelham Bay for a few minutes as against entering a contest whereby they would have been forced to remain in the water from ten to fifteen hours bears no relation. Shyster journalists among us are to be blamed for so many things it is hard to enumerate them. Turning the spotlight on them will be the only cure. CUMBERLAND POSEY, known far and near as "Cum," the once illicitous basketball player, has apparently entered his senile stage of life, judging by an opinion from him as set forth in the Pittsburgh Courier of last week. The once great Cumberland says he does not believe that the Celtics tried to put the ball in their opponents' basket at one period of the game wherein the Renaissance Five had thrown spasms into the famous Shamrocks. If the voluntary contributor to the columns of the Pittsburgh Courier had utilized the services of the paid representative of the same paper here in New York he could easily have found out that one Celtic man tried three times to put the sphere in the Renaissance basket. You know, my dear Posey, playing before about five thousand rabid fists would make the losing team do almost anything. Take, for instance, hard to live down, when somebody very close to you grabbed the watch that brought an end to a game in which you were on the losing end! The Board of Athletic Control has voted to try the experiment of playing a varsity game on the Saturday before Thanksgiving because of the contention on the part of players and coaches that the lay-off between the Atlanta University game and Thanksgiving Day gives the men too long a time to think about the Lincoln game, which is always regarded as the most important engagement of the season. Furthermore, it constitutes a problem for coaches to keep the men in proper physical condition and in mental attitude. It will be interesting to watch the result of this experiment, next season. YOU can more readily believe that, can't you. "Cum." than the idea of such a team as Celtics being demoralized to the extent of pulling such a brilliant piece of bonehead work on the floor? Here's a hint. Cumberland: W. Rollo should be sent on special detail to cover an event of this kind, for then you would be sure to get more information. Besides, you must remember that such an event drew almost ten thousand souls the first time at the spacious armory of the 389th Infantry and Renaissance, having lost on that occasion, knew that only five souls would play. The team from New Yorker play did you draw a corporal's guard? Nay, nay, dear Cumberland, and all because we personally put a crimp into it. Wot? WE are running in another part of today's paper an account of the new arena being erected in Brooklyn by Humbert Purgacy, the man who had the courage to induce Harry Wills to accept that fight with Sharkey which put Harry back five years in his jaunt to the world's championship. Mr. Fugazy has shown a tendency not only to deal with the enemy but to win. He has merit, and not on color. He has notified this paper of everything he has been trying to do in the fistic world and he has not forgotten to mall tickets to us for his big big fights. We hope that success will crown his efforts and that he will show the way to Tex Rickard. The Howard schedule for next year follows: Oct. 1. -Bluefield Institute, at home. Oct. 5. -Livingstone College, at home. Oct. 15. -Morehouse College, Atlanta Ga. Kenneth Worde and Elveta Marcellus, New Jersey's Ranking Tennis Players Nov. 12-Atlanta University, at home. Nov. 12-Morgan College, at home. Nov. 24-Library University, Philadelphia. Other games in the schedule appear in the same order as of last season, the only difference being that the "Bisons" will be called upon to make three long trips on consecutive Saturdays. This, of course, presents another hardship, but with a mature squad the coach has the strategic expects to produce another winner, with an even more enviable record than that of 1926. THE 1926 ratings of the New Jersey Tennis Association, Inc., have just been issued, with Kenneth Worde of the North End Tennis Club, Elizabeth, and Miss Elveta Marcellus of the Plainfield Tennis Club, Plainfield, holding the premier honors in their respective class, men's and women's singles. "Y" DIVISION BOYSINVICTORY "Y" DIVISION BOYSINVICTORY The Worde brothers (Kenneth and Solomon) are again ranked first in the men's doubles. Mrs. B. W. Thornhill and Harvey Butler of the Orleo Tennis Club, Montclair, are the leading mixed doubles team. William Bingham of the North End Club, Elizabeth, is the holder of the junior title for the last time, as he has reached the age limit in that class. There are some changes from the 1925 ratings. Those most prominent are: Men's singles, in which Harvey Butler rises to second place from No. 6 last year. Solomon Worde drops back to No. 3. Logan McWilson, who but a couple of years ago was the Class B champion, jumps from No. 9 to fourth place. William Willis dropped back two places to No. 5. The newcomers in the first ten are Clinton Henry and Henry Williams, the latter being the Class B champion for this year. And Willie Payne Promises To Introduce the Huddle in Basketball By THOMAS W. YOUNG. In the ladies' singles we still find New Jersey's well-known quartet of women—Miss E. Marcellus, Mrs. B. W. Thornhill, Mrs. B. Sadier and Miss O. Vaughan—holding the first four places. A number of the younger women players are included in this year's ratings and some of the Jerseyites are claiming that some of them will displace the present leaders before very long. That austere and silent Sphinx gaze immobile upon desert sands as his fighting gladiators fell victims before the rapid fire of "Squack" Miller and George Gregory, who championed the offense for the Young Men's Division Alumni in the Y, M. C. A gymnasium here Saturday night. The points were 25 to 14. The rugged buskeeteers of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity opened the fight with a glare of brilliance that at first promised to overshadow their Alumni rivals. At half-time the count was 9 to 7 in their favor. Harvey and Pollard having carried the brunt, with "Q.R." Han offering great support, but pursuant to the demands set forth in Manager Payne's intermission lecture, the Alumni inaugurated a winning campaign that never was halted. In this maneuver Miller and Seav in forward, Gregory in center and "Bob" Payne in guard were the "Big Deras." This Payne, manager of the victorious clan, announces a new feature in metropolitan basketball. He promises to introduce the huddle system at an early date. Pans are anxiously awaiting its arrival, and it is believed that it will be shown for the first time next Saturday night when his co-hosts clash with the Bronx Hebrew Giants in the "Y" gym. Manager Payne is also negotiating with teams in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington for games in his anticipated seventay tour. He will accept offer for a place in the United States and may be reached through the Y. M. C. A. 181 West 135th street, New York.

This is something out of the ordinary and will share the honors of the evening with the teams. The famous Boston Whirlwinds, champion professional team of New England, that will meet the Renaissance at Renaissance Casino on Sunday evening, Jan. 23, is coming to New York with a reputation of being one of the finest teams in the country today. Boston is noted for its beans, music, baseball and the famous Boston Tea Party. It has, however, added another item to its hall of fame, due to the international performance of this crack basketball team that has taken all New England by storm in the past two seasons. The Whirlwinds have won for the second consecutive season the championship of the New England States in pro basketball. In 1924-25 they won 58 and lost 4 and in 1925-26 they won 40 out of 45 games. Playing under the banner of the American League in the first half of last year, they scored victories over such teams as Cleveland Rosenblums, Rochester Centrals, Buffalo and Detroit. Their own original circular pass work that is now being used by the strongest teams in the country is very interesting to watch during their playing, for it shows what team work on the part of an experienced and well oiled machine can do. In "Flash" Crotty the Whirl Fred Douglass Junior High Wins P. S. A. L. Indoor Championship Marion Miller, Douglass Sprinter, Wins 70-Yard Dash for Third Consecutive Time — Winds Up Brilliant Career, Which Saw Him Victor for Five Seasons THE Dark Clouds of Fred Douglass Junior High School, Manhattan, showed a silver lining with a vengeance Saturday afternoon, when they won the P. S. A. L. indoor track and field championship with a total of 31 points. Coach Bill Hodge's colored youngsters thus displaced Elijah Clark Junior High School, the Bronx, which has ruled the roost for the last four years. Needless to say, the feature of the Douglass victory was Marion Miller's third consecutive win in the 70-yard sprint, in the 120-pound class. In his last championship appearance under the Douglass colors Miller broke the tape four yards ahead of M. Goldberg, of Mt. Morris, in 0:08 1-5. The time was two-fifths of a second slower than the record established just a year ago at the same meet. Thus the Douglass sprinter wound up a career which in grammar school and junior high school has carried him through five seasons without a defeat to mar his record. Philadelphia Amateur Basketball Champions to Meet Y. M. D What is heralded as the big basketball hit of the season will take place in the gymnasium of the West 135th Street Branch, Young Men's Christian Association, on Saturday, Jan. 22, when "Ed Smith's" Young Stars of the Waterview Recreation Center will meet the Y. M. D. The Philadelphia Young Stars for two years have held the lead in Philadelphia's amateur basketball circles, having not only defeated the basketball teams in the Recreation League but in Y. M. M. C. A. leagues and other independent organizations. Supporting this attraction, which in itself is big enough to command the interest of a basketball loving public, will be the Bronx Hebrew Giants and the Y. M. D. Alumni. The Bronx Hebrew Giants need no introduction to those who follow basketball. First game will be called at 8 p. m.

The majestics slammed the In-28 winds have a player well worthy of the moniker before his name, for he is as quick as they make them when it comes to quick thicking and fast shooting. With "Snappy" O'Connell playing opposite the "Flash" in the forward position and with Cott Thompson at center and "Fiddle" Morley and "Red" Irwin doing the back work. The Whirlwinds have a combination that will no doubt display a brand of basketball that will be very interesting to watch. Speed and accuracy have made this fast Boston aggregation the champions of New England for the past two seasons. Their record for 1924 was 58 won and 4 lost. Last year they won 40 out of 45 games. The Whirlwinds won the Greater Boston League championship of pro teams last year. The Whirlwinds are now on a tour of the South and the Southwest and will meet the strongest teams in these sections. Their exhibition of perfect passing and accurate shooting has won them quite a reputation as the premiers in the basketball league. The lineup of the Whirlwinds will consist of the following players: Flash Crotty and Snappy O'Connell, forwards; Cott Thompson, center, and Fiddle Morley and Red Irwin doing the back work, with Leo Martin and Fat O'Rourke on reserve. The average age of the Boston team is 22 years, which ranks them as the youngest professional team in the country today. What they lack in age is made up in team work, which they have developed during the past six years that they have been playing together. The standing broad jump event developed into an prgy of record smashing. The first two in the event both surpassed the old standard while the third tied it. The old mark of 7 feet 11 inches had stood for two years when the boys got after it Saturday afternoon, and when they were done the new record was 8 feet 3 inches, and held by Arthur Hines, of Elijah Clark. Israel Pinsker, of the same school, was second with a leap of 8 feet 11½ inches followed by Daniel Zolty, Seward Park, 7 feet 11 inches, and N. Lipton, P. S. 55, 7 feet 10½ inches. One other record was achieved during the course of the afternoon, but it was disallowed because the winning team was disqualified. The Isaac Remsen, Jr., 90-pound quartet negotiated the quarter mile in 0:55 1-5, as compared with the standard of 0:56 4-5, but somewhere along the route of Gramar, Rosenberg, Schiff and Adelman the baton had been passed outside of the bounds, and the Brooklyn quartet was eliminated from the scoring. Fred Douglass moved up into first place for this event, the quartet being composed of Blackman, Williams, Miller and Davis. One of the surprises of the session developed in the half-mile relay, unlimited weight class, when the second team of Fred Douglas just beat out the first team of the same school. The first team, composed of the four Bills—Merrill Harvey, Pond and Austin—was a defending champion, but the fast striding of Marquise, Williams, Madison and Buckley helped the second string group to beat their supposed betters. The 120-pound team of Fred Douglas, however, defended its honors successfully in the quarter-mile relay. Codrington, Carlos, Samuels and Lamden left the field far behind in winning the event in 0:54. Isaac Remsen's team, consisting of Oberlander, Rabinowitz, Wollman and Sindon, was second. Two basketball games in the P. S. A. L. round robin final preceded the track meet. In the junior game Patrick Henry of Manhattan scored scored by Rexsen of Brooklyn to 10. At half-time the score stood 5 all. In the senior game, Forsyth of Manhattan vanquished James K. Pauling of the Bronx, 30 to 20. In this contest as well as in the first the teams were tied at half-time, 13 to 13.

County Judge Taylor on Saturday handed down an exhaustive opinion in the case of Harry Simmons, who is serving a three-year term as a first offender and who was brought back from prison to plead to an "information" filed by District Attorney Dodd that he was a fourth offender. Sees Hope for Negroes in Their Admittance to Labor Unions There is room for every race, creed and color in the world of business and art, was the consensus of Brooklyn business men who attended a discussion of the racial topic at Central Y. M. C. A.. 55 Hanson place, Sunday afternoon. The discussion was presided over by Dr. Jesse Moorland, for 25 years secretary of the "U" department for the colored. Dr. Moorland introduced the topic as "The Negro's Challenge to the Economic World." It was the second of a series of public discussions presided over by the lecturer, and its aim, like that of the entire series, is to classify public opinion on the race question "The points brought out in the discussion are encouraging to the Negro. Business men admit," said Dr. Moorland, "there should be no color line drawn in business, because in business and the professions, it is results which count, and not personalities." Another fact established was that labor unions have opened their books to colored men, and admitted several as members, giving them equal privileges in labor equity. "It was also noted that in the professions, such as medicine, there has been a natural handicap for the Negro. Obviously, the profession is different from the commercial world and labor, and present different barriers. There each Negro must overcome as he sees fit, presupposing that no obstacles will be put in his path." The next of the series will be held in the Central "Y" lounge Sunday.

JONES Chiropodist 229 BERGEN ST. BROOKLYN, N. Y. Tailoring apparel also Every 22 Archs (from east west & mid foot FOURTEEN Judge Taylor indicated in his opinion that he would not resentence Simmons. He indicated also that he regarded as valid several objections entered by Rufus Perry, counsel for Simmons, when Simmons was arraigned to plead to the fourth-offender information. But he did not formally sustain these objections. Instead he announced that Simmons would go before a jury for determination of the fact—whether or not he was a fourth offender—and then the objections raised in the prisoners' behalf would be sustained. This course of procedure is designed to secure a ruling from the higher courts on whether a prisoner, as in the Simmons case, should be sentenced as a fourth offender after the court had accepted his plea of guilty as a first offender. Simmons, accused of stealing $116.75 from his employer, entered a plea of guilty as a first offender—to which the district attorney consented—and was sentenced to three years as a first offender. Warden Lawes at Sing Sing declared that Simmons was a fourth offender and should have received a life sentence. District Attorney Dodd filed the information, Judge Taylor refused to resentence the man, Dodd appealed to the Appellate Division, and the Appellate Division said Simmons must be brought back to say whether or not as the man named in the information was summoned are reigned, was mute. Rufus Perry, the lawyer, interposed a long list of legal objections, and it is with the objections that Judge Taylor's opinion today deals An interesting interpretation of the language of the "fourth offender statute"—that the court "shall impose a life sentence—is given by Judge Taylor. He says that the meaning of the word "shall" in the statute is not the "discursive meaning of" must. He insists the legal meaning of "shall" is "may," and accordingly the court is given discretion in imposing sentence. Referring to the third of Rufus Perry's objections, Judge Taylor writes: "Shall" and "Must." "The third objection is upon the ground that the life term for fourth offenders is discretionary, and the court was within its rights in refusing to impose a life sentence. The court takes to this view. "The fourth offender statute (Penal Law, sec. 1942) was enacted in 1907. It is not a 'Baumes statute at all. For the last twenty years that statute has provided that upon a fourth felony conviction a defendant 'shall' receive a life sentence. During all of that time no appellate court appears to have passed on whether or not that statute is mandatory. Certain minor or precedental amendments by the 'Baumes' statutes have no bearing on the question, one way or the other, nor has section 1942. We must, therefore, search for analogies and analyze other statutes and decisions for the purpose of ascertaining the precise meaning of the word 'shall'. "It is not a question of what diplonaries say, but of what the courts have held that makes the law. Let us first examine the second offender statute (Penal Law, sec. 1941). It says that a second offender 'must' receive the maximum sentence accorded first offenders. That statute has been on the books for about one hundred years, but it used to say 'shall the same as the present fourth offender statute. In 1881 it was amended by changing 'shall to 'must'. Referring to the reviser's notes (Nine Rc Rc. Stat. 1530, page 221) we find that, as it then existed was construed by the reviser as discretionary, 'shall' being referred to as meaning 'may.' "Let us go a step further. Why when the fourth offender statute was enacted it was not similar in essential verbiage to the amended second offender statute? Why did it use 'shall' instead of 'must'? Was it not recognition of an intended distinction between a mandatory second offender statute and a discretionary fourth offender statute? Was the law the appropriate measure of the fact that the severity of the life term was such as to warrant placing the discretion with the judges who, by their familiarity with the merits of each case, are in the best position to determine the punitive necessities?"

There has been a bit of mystery about it, for the wreath was always placed there in the early morning hours. Brooklynites have marked it with a ribbon, and the wreath took it for granted that it was the commemorative gift of some patriotic society. They never knew that behind the flea offering, the wreath was a great appeal that it was a mark of gratitude from the heart of a man once a slave. In Beauston Harbor during the stirring sixties are perceptions. Talk to "Uncle Bill," hear him tell it "Nicodemus Was a Slave" and The Colored Volunteers in his memory. The Colored Volunteers in his memory bound up with the south and all its traditions.

He spoke for us in what we cannot speak for ourselves." And they watched a early last night of years, his back bawled by the weight of years, trudge slowly through the rainy street. "God bless His Name." They would have seen him place reverently there the wreath which now lies in his hands. They they been close enough they might have heard him murmur, as he stood in hand in that God, "God bless his name."

Fifty Years on One Job. The present generation knew little of the preacher known him well. He grew up with the town, for it is 86 years since he came from the South to attend the employ of the Chandler Diano concern as a truckman. Fifty years on itself it is a record hard to match. Mr. Beecher knew him and called him the resident of old Brooklyn, who saw him in his planes about the downtown streets for Mr. Chandler, who never lost his warm regard for the quaint, charming William C. Henry is one of the last remaining links of the old south—the South of pre-war days—in Brooklyn, where he held it a right to keep other human beings in bondage. He is like that, the body servant of Col. Carter, the man who told the story: "A Municipal Report." Better yet, he might have stepped right out of the pages of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." See him now with his serubby gray mustache and that indelible air that the old South, and something of the picture of times when Negroes went to the picket cotton under the stern eyes of the overseer, is recreated for you.

Seated on the sofa in his home on the couch, she spoke alongside "Uncle Bill" to about the old master and the young master, about his love for Necker, whose head he had held in his hand before speech, of how the war came to Beaufort in the long ago. But he pointed where his young master stood, old masters face the defiant that he would not enlist in the Southern cause, in the war. Brother Pierre had to interject.

"What I am trying to do in the South," continued Mr. Forman, "is to clear away all obstacles in the way of individual development. But even after these obstacles are cleared away there will still be a great deal of work to be done. For all that work will be of no value unless the Negro people take advantage of it in the way of personal achievement." Mr. Forman elaborated his remarks by saying that respect for any people comes from the respect for individual achievement within that group, pointing to such men as Booker T. Washing- On taking the case he discovered that the Cohens had two homes, one at Long Beach, the other on Riverside Drive. In the family were one child, one white nursemaid and a colored houseworker we will call Jenny, who had been with the Cohens three years. When the family went to Long Beach for the Summer, Jenny stayed to care for the Riverside drive home. One day the Cohens gave a party at Long Beach and Jenny was called in to cook and otherwise help, with the result that when the affair was over it was too late for her to return to the city, and she spent the night there. Next morning, while Jenny was in the kitchen, Mrs. Cohen rushed in, greatly agitated, and demanded of her what she had done with the necklace, as she felt sure she had given it to her to put away the night before. Strenuous denials from Jenny, and the search began. The Long Beach police were called in: the insurance company notified, with insinuations from Mrs. Cohen that Jenny was the thief. When Boulin came on the job. Mrs. Cohen repeated her suspicions to him. Jenny, she said, had diamonds of her own, played the numbers and the horses, kept another room outside, and had property in Baltimore. In short, in the eyes of the Cohen family, the insurance company and the police, there was little doubt that Jenny was the thief. And had there been the least doubt, there was Jenny's color. A sleuth from Boulin's agency soon got in touch with Jenny, took her to theatres, dances, dinners, and for a month and a half checked her up and down, discovering some queer things. The detective found that Jenny had not only one outside room, but two, one on Ninety-ninth street and the other on SURVIVAL VALUE OF HARLEM NEGRO. The collective biologic and sociologic consciousness of a people decide its survival value, and its survival depends upon the quality of its collective survival values. The index of the collective values for survival of a race depends upon and is marked out by the survival values of the individual member of that race or group. In modern America this capacity for survival is consequent upon the desire of the individual to live and be represented in future generations. In order for individuals to be represented in succeeding generations it is necessary that they accumulate a surplus. And this surplus must be in terms of those units in life which go to make life today the basis of life in the future. Consequently, the individual in his effort to accumulate a surplus must be conscious of how he would like to be represented as in the world of the future. In making his selections he must decide whether he would be a slave in the future or a master. The greatest factors in this decision are the mental, moral, economic and physical qualities which the individual of today passes on to his child of tomorrow. NOT PREPARING FOR NEXT GENERATION. Black Harlem is the metropolis of the Negro world. Its practices—economic, social, educational, political—are watched eagerly and copied with zeal by the rest of the black world. Yet, the classes as well as the masses in Harlem give no thought to preparation for future generations.

Mr. Ferman is a Georgian and his interest in the problem of two races living together led him to intensive studies in the field of sociology.

Actual experience has convinced him of the correctness of his viewpoint and he is new working with the Phelps-Stokes Fund along similar lines in an effort to help further the work of interracial cooperation and of removing obstacles to individual attainment new hampering the development of the South.

Moreover, she did play the numbers and the horses, had jewelry, and property in Baltimore, and kept late hours, going to some affair almost every night, but being always on the job to get the Cohen's breakfast at seven. She lived such a fast life that the detective was pretty well worn out keeping up with her. But this was what he found: At one of the rooms she kept her jewelry and a trunk, paying nominal rent; at the other she entertained her friends. In time the detective had so won her confidence that she was showing him her jewelry, of which the sleuth made careful mental note. He had further been instructed to look out for some valuable rings, missing from the Cohen's two years before, for which another insurance company had had to make good. Months passed, and the detectives, finding no pawn-tickets or any other proof of Jenny's guilt, decided she was innocent. The white nursemaid also had been carefully checked, and nothing found against her. Shortly after the loss, Mrs. Cohen had given her leave and she had returned to her home in Canada, whither Boulin detectives had followed her. With the two maids eliminated, suspicion could be directed in only one place, and this the insurance company was strongly inclined not to accept, as the Cohens were wealthy and of fine reputation. Jenny still remained the suspect. Up to this point Jenny hadn't any suspicion that she had been actually accused of the theft, and now Boulin decided to play other cards. One night, while she and her detective escort were coming out of, a theatre, Boulin, accompanied by another detective, accused her openly of the theft, and there followed a There are in harlem 104 tailors. Their average income per annum is $1,300; they are forced to educate and to support their families upon that meagre sum. An investigation disclosed that, of the 11 sons of tailors who entered the high schools in 1824, only two were still attending the schools in the year 1826. During this same period—two years—21 real estate operators, eleven preachers, nine physicians, seven lawyers, five other business men, and seven undertakers spent an average of $480 per annum with tailors who did not reside in black Harlem. afford to purchase to patronize the fathers would be able to dren in the high its manhood of compete in the others who shoppers, he must vital value; he educated; he men and he must haw of capital pass this generation may have an eq even break in An investigation of tailors doing business in the colored community who do not reside in Harlem disclosed that of 46 such men, forty-one had children who had entered the high schools in 1924, and that thirty-nine of those who entered are still attending their courses. One of the two who were not still attending high school was drowned in 1925, and one had left voluntarily. This is important when the fact is taken into consideration that the children of the colored tailors who left the high school did so for the reason that their parents could not any longer manage to keep them in school, and were forced to send them to work in order to earn money to support themselves. The argument might be put in reply that these colored children should continue their studies in the evening schools, but this would be beside the point, for it is the duty of the parents, with the assistance of the community, to assure to the child the most favorable circumstances under which to study. If fifty per cent of those persons who can well THIS WEEK By Ernest Rice McKinney. (Preston News Service.) "Not Guilty" Twelve good men and true have said that Fall and Doheny are not guilty as indicted. Not only this but each of these twelve men said as they were being drawn that they had read nothing about this infamous case and had formed no opinion concern- take fight in which the detective escort was beaten. Then was played the trump. Boulin then told her where he had got his information, adding for good luck that he had heard even worse things about her, which was that she was keeping a sporting house in Philadelphia. Enraged, Jenny wanted to know who was the informant, and was finally told it was Mrs. Cohen. But, said Boulin later to her: "I suspect that Mrs. Cohen is the thief." Jenny, eager for revenge, became a detective against her mistress on the spot, and began to tell things that immediately threw another light on the matter. Among them was that Mrs. Cohen was always attending bridge parties, losing heavily at times; also, that another woman had been visiting her recently, showing diamond bracelets. Jenny got the names of Mrs. Cohen's bridge friends and turned them in. Jenny also divulged another secret: namely, that the rings that were missing two years before had been stolen by Mrs. Cohen's brother, who had taken them out West, had pawned them and sent her the tickets, after which the insurance company had paid the loss. Mrs. Cohen was also planning a trip to Europe as soon as the insurance company had made good for the necklace. The woman with the bracelets had made two visits to the Cohen home, and Jenny was now directed to search for any possible bills for them, and although she could hardly read finally brought Boulin a bill for six bracelets that had been made at a cost of two thousand dollars. A photostat of the bill was made, after which Jenny returned the original to Mrs. Cohen's drawer. Months passed. Mrs Cohen's afford to purchase clothing were to patronize the colored tailor the fathers who are tailors would be able to keep their children in the high schools. If the colored child of today in its manhood of tomorrow is to compete in the race for life with others who shall be his competitors, he must have a high survival value; he must be as well educated; he must be as healthy, and he must have a fair surplus of capital passed to him from this generation in order that he may have an equal chance for an even break in that struggle. Colored professional and business men, largely, make their livings from the pockets of their own people; they are not employed, as a general rule, by other races and must rely upon the attitude of Negroes toward them for their success in the professions or in business. If they assume that the colored tradesmen are incompetent, then the day may well come when the common colored masses will adopt the same attitude towards them that they now adopt toward Negro tradesmen. In the next generation the sons and daughters of those colored tradesmen, who are forced to have their children leave school, shall be the servants of those sons and daughters of tradesmen who receive the bulk of the patronage of the Harlem professional and business men. ELIMSY AND THIN The average colored person who refuses to patronize a colored tradesman will say that the colored tradesman is incompetent; he does not work as well as other tradesmen, his prices are too high, and he is not as courteous. All of this is found ing it. Can you beat it? Twelve full-grown men claiming to be intelligent had buried their heads under a pillow, or in the sand or in their various professions and businesses and had totally excluded the outside world for a period of a year or more. Who believes that there are in all these United States, as ignorant as we are, twelve men who are so stupid, mentally senile and dumb? These men must have had some sort of hunch that they would be called for this particular jury. It's a long way from the barons besieging King John at Runnymede to our present trying a man by a "jury of his peers." I am of the opinion that it would be far better to dispense with such EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS brother in California was traced, the pawn-tickets recovered, and one day Mr. Cohen was called to the office of the insurance company. HUSBAND CALLED IN. "Are you still willing to do all in your power to recover your wife's necklace?" Mr. Cohen was asked. Cohen insisted that he was as determined as ever to punish the thief. "Would you be surprised to learn," he was told, "that your wife had something to do with it?" Cohen was indignant at the supposed insult, insisted that Jenny was the thief, and that he had kept her on only on the advice of the detectives. "Did you give Mrs. Cohen a number of bracelets recently?" asked Boulin. Another denial. There was presented the photostat of the bill for the bracelets, the pawn tickets for the missing rings, tales also of his wife's losses at bridge. Collapse of Mr. Cohen, who was forced to choose between having his wife arrested for grand larceny and conspiracy or paying all the expenses of the investigation, returning the money paid on insurance for the rings, a promise never again to seek jewelry insurance, and to cancel all such policies then in force. He chose the latter, and Mrs. Cohen, getting wind of the affair from the jeweler, fled to Europe, avoiding her husband. As to the missing necklace, Mrs. Cohen had given it to a woman fence to have it cut down into the bracelets, thereby forever changing its identity. FALSEY ACCUSED Still another case was that of a colored woman who had been hired less than an hour before from an employment agency to do some cleaning. While working in the bathroom, this maid on investigation to be nothing less than about 90 per cent humbug. An investigation showed that there are 41 colored tailors doing business in the community who had been employed in the highest capacities by large downtown houses which receive the patronage of the majority of the colored professional and business men. Surely if they were skilled enough to be so employed they should be able to satisfy the harlem professional and business man when conducting their own shops. If the argument is put that their prices are higher than the prices of other tailors outside of the community, the business man and professional man ought to be reminded that such a plea comes with bad grace from him, for the reason that he too might be charged with the same practice. As to the courtesy of the colored tradesman the criticism is perhaps a valid one. But it is queer that when a colored man is discourteous to another of his race that discourtesy is charged against the entire race and the business or professional man refuses to do business with any other colored man. But if he meets with discourtesy from a tradesman of the other race he localizes this discourtesy to the individual who was discourteous to him, goes next door and patronizes another individual of the same race from whom he had just received the act of discourtesy. The white race refuses to employ colored citizens in high-income producing jobs because they realize that the white boy would have to face more com- a travesty and have all trials and decisions rendered by three or more trained judges. The jury system seems to have outlived its usefulness. American Mercury The circulation figures of the American Mercury are large enough to give us hope. The last figures say that over 100,000 Americans will read this publication for the current month. Who would have thought it possible? One hundred thousand Americans intelligent and liberal enough to even read such a magazine as Mercury. Of course, over against this one must put the over two million figure of such a slop sheet as True Stories and the thousands of equally slimy "art" publica- Suspicion Often Directed at Domestics to Cover Up Conspiracy to Collect Insurance Money--Poison Pen Letter Writer Nabbed, Typwriter and All was suddenly confronted with a policeman, who accused her of stealing jewelry valued at $5,000, the property of the lady we will call Mrs. Isaacs, who had just hired her. The maid protested her innocence, but she was made to strip then and there in front of the policeman, Mrs. Isaacs's son and daughter, and Mrs. Isaacs, herself, while her clothes were searched. The insurance company seemed faced with no alternative but paying the loss, but called in Boulin. Taking the four members of the Isaacs family apart, he questioned them separately, everyone giving a different story as to the movements of the maid and the time. The Jimmy mark on the bureau drawer with the jewelry was even pointed out by Mrs. Isaacs. Another suspicious thing: neither Mr. nor Mrs. Isaacs could say where the jewelry had been bought; moreover, it was discovered that the jewelry in question had been insured less than a month, and that not even the binding amount had been paid. Cornered, Isaacs finally agreed to wave all claims. At the present time a heavy suit is pending against Isaacs in the civil courts for his indignities to the maid. Boulin saw to it that her case was put in the hands of a competent colored lawyer. POISON PEN.

They know that if the colored boy were given the same opportunity to work in white industrial and commercial houses that white boys are given, the former would spend the money to raise families who would in turn compete with white men of the next generation. This policy of discrimination which is practiced by white employers against colored persons is not the result of chance. It is the result of well defined, elaborate theories which are worked out by white college professors and which are taught in books at white colleges. The wealth of white millionaires is not spent in wild parties and useless social festivities. It is contributed to institutions which maintain white scholars on their faculties, whose duty is to study and to express in books and lectures economic doctrines which will enable the white race to survive and be the masters of all other races.

I do not know just how serious or how true are the charges that are being made against the administration at Wilberforce University.

As a rule scholarship is something that they haven't got. They are dicta- --- Wilberforce a school teacher on a vacation visit to New York City, with whom a certain New Yorker fell in love. She, it appears, did not return his love, and to get even he sent anonymous letters to her principal in the South accusing her of misconduct, as well as others to her friends, declaring that she had given him a social disease. The young lady was soon a nervous wreck, but some of her friends took the matter up and placed it in the hands of Boullin, who began by listing all her acquaintances in New York City. All the letters had been written on the same typewriter; sometimes there were three of them in a day. Narrowing down the suspects to one, Boulin finally tracked the man to his home, coromed him, and found the typewriter and unsent letters. Because of the delicate nature of the case no exposure was made. The man made a complete retraction, ending a harrowing experience for the girl. The man, often seen on the streets of Harlem now, had spent four months in a psychopathic ward in Bellevue Hospital. Next week will be told how the romance of a son of one of America's most prominent families with a poor girl led to a contest between two millionaires for a seat in the United States Senate and a bid for the Negro vote, together with how Boulin was called in. s? - of Negro Tradesmen ave Schools at Early support the Family in Money Goes town be the concern of every colored person residing in the black city, person residing in the black city. In the past, the Harlemite has shown a decided disinterest in the future prosperity of his race. Nearly every effort of the Negro in business has met with failure because of this disinterest. He has even rejoiced in the repeated failures of those long-sighted men and women who risked their meagre savings in commercial enterprises, and have gone goose-stepping to the time and tune of the musical march of other races on the road to economic security and success. It should be the task of every resident in Harlem to keep every dollar possible in the confines of the black city. Every dollar which needlessly leaves this community is forged into the link of a chain which shall be used to bind the future sons and daughters of present-day Harlemites to economic drudgery and slavery. The race has been the sources from which the least paid laborers of the Nation have been recruited. This is so because of certain antecedent circumstances over which the Negro had no control. But the Harlemite, massed together as he is, enjoys a most favorable opportunity, to pool his resources in commercial and industrial pursuits and rescue the future generation from a life of serfdom. torial, dogmatic and doctrinal. They are poor administrators and worse leaders. They attempt to operate everything just as they do their churches, which means a sort of vest pocket management. The average preacher, like the politician, does not believe in free and untrummeled scholarship. With him all science, literature and art must square up with the Bible. The only modernism that most preachers believe in is the modernism of big business. That is where his gorgeous cathedrals, his fine automobiles and his salary and subsidies come from. But as I said at first, I do not know whether or not any of these things apply to Wilberforce. There may be an exception there. --- 135TH ST. 201 W. (7th Ave. 1 flight up) - Front and back sections.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 19, 1927 Dallas, Texas, Segregation Defeated on Basis of Louisville Case of 1917 Dallas, Texas, Segregation Defeated on Basis of Louisville Case of 1917 A report showing that on the basis of the victory against segregation by city ordinance or State law, won by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People before the Supreme Court in the Louisville Case of 1917, a segregation ordinance recently enacted by the city of Dallas, Tex., has been declared unconstitutional by the Texas Fifth Court of Civil Appeals. This makes the third city segregation ordinance within the last year to be outlawed on the basis of the Louisville victory of ten years ago, the other two victories having been won in Norfolk and Indianapolis. Still another case hinging on the Louisville decision has arisen in New Orleans and is pending before the Supreme Court. The case, according to the Dallas Express, arose from the desire of a white corporation "to open up a new addition for Negroes in a district which heretofore, by a joint agreement, according to report, has been designated as white. Steel City Bank Records Stolen, Averred at Hearing (Preston News Service.) PITTSEURGH, Jan. 17.—Records have been stolen that were necessary to settle the affairs of the Steel City Banking Company, which was closed by the State Banking Department over a year ago. It was disclosed before Judge Richard Martin, of Common Pleas Court, Thursday when stockholders and depositors appeared at a hearing to determine whether the stockholders are liable for the condition of the bank, since it was J. W. Rice of the Express, in a letter to the N. A. A. C. P., says: "Three years prior to the present case a case involving this issue arose in a section of the city presumably Negro, but declared white at the instance of white property owners. A Negro was tried and fined and a group of Negroes at once raised $1,500 for defense and employee attorneys. City officials never brought the case to trial and the tenant was never forced to move. It might be of interest to the association to know that another attempt is being made to draft a Statewide segregation ordinance and the representatives are being approached for their views on the question. The measure is one in five which have to do with city planning. It appears likely to raise a formidable question which will be State-wide in its extent." Insurance Co. Has Good Year Increase Shown in Assets, Reinsurance Reserves and Surplus DURHAM, N. C., Jan. 17.—At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Co. held at its office at 7071 Fayette ville street last Monday, it was shown that the company closed a most successful year on December 31, 1926. The admitted assets of the company were increased from $242,413.72 to $72,233.75, a gain of $29,860.03; its reinsurance reserves from $92,596.47 to $115,630.83, a gain of $23,034.46; and its surplus to pay holders from $224,400.90 to $468,607.10, $101,389.74. The board declared a dividend of $5 per share on its outstanding stock. This constitutes the fourth consecutive yearly dividend de- clared by the company. The office of secretary-manager having been declared vacant, the board proceeded to elect a successor to W. Gomez, the former secretary-manager, and unanimously elected to this position L. W. Wilhote, who has been connected with the company in the capacity of auditor since its inception in 1921. The choice of Mr. Wilhote to fill this important position will no doubt meet the approval of the entire roster of stockholders and friends of the company, for he is not only already familiar with every detail of the company's affairs, but enjoys the confidence and respect of all those who have been dearest. In addition to the election of a new secretary-manager, the Board of Directors elected to the position of assistant secretary, in charge of underwriting R. N. Harris. Mr. Harris relinquished the acceptance of a lucrative and responsible position in Little Rock Ark. to remain with Bankers' Fire, having been with the company since June, 1921. The officers of the company are: W. G. Pearson, president; C. C. Spaulding and A. J. Strong, vice-presidents, and J. M. Avery, treasurer.

Steel City Bank Records Stolen, Averred at Hearing (Preston News Service). PITTSBURGH, Jan. 17—Records have been stolen that were necessary to locate the City Banking Company, which was closed by the State Banking Department over a year ago. It was disclosed before Judge Richard Martin, of Common Pleas Court, Thursday when stockholders and depositors appeared at a hearing to determine whether the stockholders are liable for the institution of the bank since it was sold to a partnership institution The bank was closed when it found difficulty in paying off its Christmas depositors. Then a loan of $10,000 and some of the collateral of the Home Finder's League, of which the Rev. J. C. Austin was founder and president, and affiliated with the bank, was advanced to raise the money. Exceptions have been shown an expenditure of $12,000 for the receivership administration while only $10,000 has been collected. The hearing was adjourned until Jan. 31. Attorney Richard Jones represented the complainants. Industrial Situation for Month of December Reported by the Industrial Relations Department of National Urban League GENERAL CONDITIONS.

Laborers are being laid off there and only temporary work is available. Fort Wayne's "outlook in employment for January is rather gloomy" and Minneapolis finds the usual seasal conditions complied with a disinclination to fire Negroes. MIGRATION. Brooklyn notes an influx of Southern migrants, especially from the Carolinas. Many of the men have not sufficient industrial experience to fit into jobs that are open and, therefore, drift almessly from city to city until they are without funds. Laborers are coming to Chicago from all sections of the country. There is no movement away from the city. Hot Springs. Ark., also reports incoming workers.

The record made some time ago by Dalton in a contest, witnesses sald, was twelve cups of coffee and eight oysters, three cups of coffee and one and a half quarts of wine, a box of crackers, two slices of jelly cake. In a letter to the New Orleans States Dalton claims that a light workout for him would be one bottle of tabasco sauce, fifty hard-bolled eggs and a dozen oysters, the last six with sugar in them. If would choose a sauce with another bottle of tabasco sauce. His enthusiastic manager placed twenty dozen oysters or a hundred hard boiled eggs as a conservative estimate of a fair-meal for his champion. A reporter sent to investigate the claimant's eating capacity gave up the attempt to satisfy Dalton's appetite after he had drunk a bottle of tabasco, eaten several dozens oysters and spent all of the reporter's expense money for other food. Between oysters Dalton threw in bananas, onions and bell peppers. His manager said that Dalton had just finished a light workout when the reporter visited him—thirty-five bananas, eleighteen onions and five bell peppers.

Red Cap Philosophy "We can pick out those who are leaving New York for home and those who are leaving it to go on a visit," a red cap at Grand Central was overheard to say recently. "The travelers who have been on a visit here have spent their money and are low in funds. Those going away on a visit are more generous. You see, they are just beginning to peel the roll and we benefit by it. They give us even the smallest and lightest bags to carry when they go out of town; but they carry the heaviest of baggage themselves coming back. They have spent all their money. Women are not as generous as men in tipping, but neither do they give us as heavy loads to carry. Times have changed. Ten years ago the heaviest bags belonged to the women; today they belong to the men. Women these days travel light."

Gas Administered 301-303 WEST 125TH ST SICKNESS or Returns Verdict in 11 Minutes, Upholding Simmons Sentence as First Offender A jury in Part IV of the Kings County Court took twenty-two minutes Monday afternoon to decide that Harry Simmons, shown by certified copies of prison records to be a fourth offender, is not a fourth offender but a first offender thus overriding provisions whereby incident of the Baumes law, person convicted the fourth time of a felony "shall be sentenced to imprisonment for life." County Judge Franklin Taylor ordered the prison back to Sing Sing to complete the three-year term to which he was sentenced last fall when the District Attorney allowed him to plead guilty as a first offender. There is no provision under the Baumwey or other sections of the Punalu Code of New York State where Simmons can be resentenced, he was said on competent authority. The jury's verdict brought to abrupt conclusion a bitterly fought legal battle, regarded as a test case to determine whether the lifeterm clauses of the Baumes law were mandatory on the presiding Judge or whether he could exercise them as he is now. However, took an unanticipated direction in that it demonstrated that a jury, availing itself of legal technicalities, can remove responsibility from the Judge and make a life sentence impossible. The case against Simmons, who was ordered, resraigned by the Appellate Division, consisted chiefly of copies of prison records and testimony to officials of Simmons on prison premises at some time during the terms mentioned in the records. which I can sell on reasonable terms and at prices that are very attractive.

Wednesday, January 19, 1927 An Important Admission IN DISMISSING the complaint and claim for damages filed by J. P. Harden, a Chicago lawyer, for the alleged failure and refusal of the Pullman Company to sell him railroad accommodations in one of its cars from Atlanta to Chicago because of his race, it is significant that the Interstate Commerce Commission admitted that the Jim-Crow laws of the South do not affect persons travelling in interstate commerce. The suit was dismissed on the ground that Mr. Harden "offered no evidence in support of his claim for damages." THE PULLMAN ticket agent at Atlanta terminal testified that he had been in the service of the company for the past fifteen years, and that he has never refused to sell Pullman tickets to Negroes when they were available. A Pullman conductor of twelve years' service testified that when requested to do so he has never refused to make reservations for Negro passengers who board the train without a ticket when such reservations were available. EVERY RECOGNIZABLE Negro, who has traveled in the South, knows that agents of the Pullman Company do not hesitate to deny them accommodations, except in rare instances; and that the testimony of the two employees, even if true, merely proves the rule that discrimination is practised. We do not charge that the Pullman Company itself sanctions this practice, but it should be held responsible for the misdeeds of its agents and conductors, many of whom hail from the South and lose no opportunity to seek to humiliate Negro passengers. Pullman Reprisals ACCORDING to officials of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the Pullman Company has, since the preliminary presentation of the porters' case to representatives of the United States Mediation Board, engaged in reprisals against the men known to be identified with the Brotherhood movement, even to the extent of discharging several veteran porters from the service on filmsv or trumped-up charges. SUCH ACTIONS are unsound, unethical and un-American. They cannot help but have their weight in convincing the public that the cause of the porters is a worthy one and that these workers are being unjustly dealt with by the company. This is especially true since the Brotherhood seems satisfied to have the Mediation Board pass on the medits of its case. The English of the English The English makers decided that if Americans could sell them a cheap car, they could make one for themselves. It is still conceived by some, however, that the Ford engine is the best thing of its price. You see the signs everywhere: "Buy British goods and employ British labor." British goods are best" is used on the letter stamp canceler at the post offices. And this one way in which British grit tackles its great unemployment problems. In the environs of Birmingham I stayed two or three days at the Woodbrooke School, where are gathered always from forty-five to fifty-five students from many nations, colored and white, representing many races. This is an idea of the Friends to influence world peace through understanding. These young people The Blot on the South With the inauguration this week of John G. Richards as Governor of South Carolina in place of Thomas G. McLeod, and with the meeting immediately afterward of the Criminal Court in Aiken, the State has an opportunity to set an example to the South in the punishment of mob violence. The case which confronts it is fragrant. The lynchings of the three Lowmans, one of them a woman, one of them a man whom the judge was about to order acquitted as innocent, was peculiarly cruel. The evidence of the identity of some members of the mob is clear. This evidence is in form to go before the jury. The shooflaces, the Negro-baiters, the politicians of the Colony Blees, if found, "What are you going to do about it?" If there are no indictments the conclusion will be clear that in parts of South Carolina the mob is stronger than the law. The eyes of the South should be upon Aiken and Columbia. There is no defense for lynching to which an American State can give a moment's tolerance in the second quarter of the twentieth century. The old excuse of the "usual crime" has always been simple bunk. There were 3,224 recorded lynchings in the United States during the thirty-year period ending in 1918. Less than one-fifth of the colored men lynched were even accused of the "usual crime." This roster of lynchings actually included fifty colored women. The motives for lynchings vary. But there can be little doubt that the principal motive in the 4,000 lynchings which are estimated to have occurred in the South since reconciling with the desire of ignorant and savage white men to grieve is the subordinate race struggling to rise. When the Negroes become self-assertive, these men decide that a lynching will take out of them." That is the conclusion of careful students. Gov. Dorssey, of Georgia, told a conference which he called in 1921, when the State in two years had witnessed 125 cases of lynching or outrageous assault: In some counties the Negro is being driven out EDITORIAL PAGE Roswell Skeel Jr. Awards THOUGH THE SMALLEST and the latest, the Roswell Skeel Jr. awards for volunteer social service work touch the heart of Harlem more acutely than the larger and older awards which preceded them. To render service to one's own community, without hope of monetary reward; to give of one's time, energy and money; to help carry out the programs of the professional social worker, without which help the latter would be able to accomplish but little, is a worthy undertaking. ONE rather likes the English of England when he gets them at short range. They have a conservatism about customs, forms, and language, but are keen thinkers about international and interracial questions. The English language of this island and that of the American continent are becoming more and more two different dialects. They spell tire (of autos), tyre; pajamas are pjamas, and all their a's nearly are broadly pronounced. MRS. EVA T. PARKS, recipient of the first prize of the award, is a member of nearly every social service organization in Harlem, which in itself must represent quite a sacrifice in time and money on her part. Nevertheless, she is not satisfied to be merely on the membership rolls. She must be permitted to do some of the work which these organizations have to do. Her noblest piece of volunteer work is believed by many to have been the organization of the Welcome Stranger Committee at the height of the migration movement of Negroes from the South to Harlem; a work which had to do mostly with directing the feet of young women newcomers in the right path. They are not "divising" their spelling, but still use the good old, long, ink-wasting English orthography: although, colour, etc. No American would ever guess that they pronounce Welwyn as welln, Keighley as keethly. They still drive to the left in England, although all the rest of the world is "drive to the right." As a result, all the motor cars have the steering wheel on the right-hand side, and an American is likely to get run over by expecting traffic from the right when it will be coming from the left, and vice versa. It seems queer at first to see the cross-road signs reading: "DRIVE LEFT." In all this England, can afford to stay English, because it is an island, and nobody else needs to drive into England. It is still their custom to have no furnace or "central" heat in their houses, although some of the institutions and hotels, especially those catering to Americans, make an exception; and they all keep their rooms too cold for an American, or as the English would put it: The Americans smother an Englishman to death with heat when he is in America. A LONG TIME AGO we called Mrs. Eddie Aspinall, recipient of the second award, one of Harlem's angels. She is an organization in herself; one that never turns a deaf ear to a call for help or advice. And all of this in addition to her duties as the mother of four children. Most of her activities have centered around Public School No. 89, which offers a greater opportunity for service than any other school in Harlem. And I have found out that many of the so-called characteristics of the English are mere illusions or falshoods, as one usually finds out about any race when he has personal experience of that race. I have often heard whites say the same thing when they came into personal relations with colored people. For example, it is said that the Englishman is slow to appreciate a joke, but I never found quirk or more enthusiastic appreciation of humor or wit anywhere else. They say that the English are less obsessed; but I have seen them in grand homes, where they have small armies of servants, and then them democratic and chummy when once they accept you as on equal terms with their group. The Black Shame On our stage they are usually pictured in an atmosphere of weakness; but they are positively the hardest people, men and women, that I have ever met—they will freeze out and fire out an American by their habits and customs. ON THE GROUND that the Rhineland had suffered under "the Black Shame," by which he meant the presence of French colonial troops in the occupied territory after the war, the Mayor of Elberfield has forbidden the appearance of a Negro theatrical review. Speaking of their humor: I roared all through lunch period today on the good "Henry Ford" jokes of England. The other "Henry Ford" business told me this one (I quote from memory) from one of their THE PERFORMERS were not from the colonies of France, but were American Negroes, incidentally, probably the most charitably disposed race of Germany's foes during the war. THE SLAP, though, is not at the American Negro, but at the French Government and the American Government, because both used colored troops during the conflict. (From the New York World.) DEMOCRATIC SENATORS and Representatives in Congress never fail to assert, vehemently, each time the Howard University item appears in the Department of Interior's appropriation bill, that the item is discriminatory, that the Government has no right to support a university for Negroes, and that Negro schools should be supported by philanthropists. In other words, they refuse even to concede that when they themselves neglect the cause of Negro education, it becomes an obligation of the Federal Government. COLOR is entering into the international relations of the world, says Philip Kerr, a British publicist, writing in the African World, and the darker races are becoming more race-conscious. as though he were a wild beast. In others he is being held as a slave. In others no Negroes remain. In only two of the 155 cases cited is the "usual crime" involved. The Western States have long since suppressed lynching, and there is no reason why the South cannot do as well. In fact it has already shown what it can do. In 1922 there were sixty-one lynchings, a normal number. But that year the agitation for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill reached its height, while the South took alarm also at the continued northward migration of Negroes. The number of lynchings declined to twenty-eight in 1923 and sixteen in 1924; it remained at sixteen in 1925. This was due to the pressure of public opinion and the wide effect of the repressive measures of such Governors as Dorssey of Georgia and Morrison of North Carolina. Now the totals show a tendency to rise; but what the South has done once it can do again. It needs shorts who will use the hose or, if necessary, the riot gun; county prosecutors who will obtain indictments, and Governors who will spur on the local officers. Georgia had just one indictment to 400 lynchings before Gov. Dorsey entered office; but the year 1922 saw twenty-two mob participants indicted and four sent to the penitentiary. Behind the local officers should stand an increasingly aggressive public opinion. The press, represented by such newspapers as the Columbia State, the Birmingham Age-Herald, the Charlotte Observer and the Atlanta Constitution, has given far more attention to lynching in the last few years than before. Southern denominations, supported by the Federal Council of Churches, have begun a vigorous campaign. County committees on race relations and even county leagues for law enforcement have increased rapidly. Lynching is to a large extent an evil concentrated in a small number of backward communities. Ouachita Parish in Louisiana is credited with nineteen lynchings in thirty-four years. Caddo Parish with eighteen, Marion County in Florida with thirteen, Hinds County in Mississippi with twelve. An impressive number of counties in even Georgia and Mississippi have never had a single lynching. A vigorous State opinion can make the delinquent counties ashamed of themselves. It is the verdict of The World's special investigator at Alken that it will be many years before that community, pilloried as it is, permits another lynching. The worst blot on the South, the worst blot on American civilization, is lynching. Is the State of Rutledge and Hayne and Calhoun going to deal with that blot as it should? (For the Associated Negro Press) English wits on "PDSs": There was a young fellow Whose name was Henry Ford; He found a piece of rubber And a little piece of board. And tied them up together With an old tin can; Poored in a bit of petrol— And the damn thing ran. And today they have told me about the fellow seen climbing a tree, trying to get his "Ford", which was lodged in the top branches, and, when asked how it got there, he explained: "I started to crank it and it flew off the handle." And they say that in heaven today you can tell what denomination a fellow belongs with up there by the kind of a car he arrives in; that the angel who assigns residences looks at the car of the new arrival; when it is a Rolls Royce, he sends them to the Church of England quarters; those arriving in a Morris-Oxford are sent to the Presbyterian flats; when they come in a Trojan, they are Methodists; but one day Mr. Angel encountered some new immigrants in a new machine. "What is this?" inquired he. The occupants replied: "It is a Ford." "Good," said the angel; "you belong with the Christian Scientists, for you think you come in a car." These and other good jokes on the American flivver are partly generated by the present efforts in all England to boost English-made goods, and those Morris cars are cutting a great slice out of the Ford sales in the British Empire. study for a year or so, with classmates of all colors and from all parts of the earth. At present there is no Negro student, but one is due from the United States next summer. This Woodbrooke School was originally founded through the generosity of George Cadbury, founder, also, of the great Cadbury chocolate and cocoa works, which are within a few minutes' walk of the school site. This is the largest chocolate confection business in the world. They get their cocoa by trading with the independent native cocoa farmers of the west coast of Africa, for old Cadbury was a Quaker, had a conscience, and would never sanction the policy of expropriating the natives' land and then hiring them back as industrial slaves at starvation wages, in order to increase the profits of a corporation. His success has justified the justice of his choice, for today he has the richest business of the kind in the world, and the blacks of Sierra Leone are the most productive coffee farmers. An idea of the size of this plant, or the "works," as they are called, can hardly be conveyed; they have 11,000 employees; ship away several trainloads of chocolate candies and cocoa products every day; have a 12-acre playground and gymnasium for women and another 12 acres for men employees; the women have the finest swimming pool I have ever seen, and there are night schools, lecture rooms, and centers of culture, libraries, lounges, and all other human helps. One of the most enthusiastic audiences I ever addressed was about 40 of these employees, who came visit to the lecture and asked questions as pointed as those asked in John Haynes Holmes' Forum in New York. I thought I was going to get to tell in this article about my visit to the greatest of all the old slave traders' havens—Bristol—and of my view of the old Roman docks, built when the Caesars were masters in Britain; of my visits to the two "Garden Cities" Letchworth and Welwyn, etc—but perhaps we can mention some of that later. There is so much. The Drama Krigwa Players in Three One-Act Plays The Krigwa Players Little Negro theatre gave its first program of the year as its place in the West 135th Street Public Library. Monday night, to a well-filled house. The offering consisted of three one-act plays and an interpretive dance and dialogue, "Pandora's Box." "Foreign Mall," a light comedy, was the hit of the evening, with clever lines that caused considerable laughter. The acting, on the whole, was good, and particularly for a first night. That of Marian King and Olga Spence left little to be desired. The former played the part of Mrs. King, a mother worried about what seems the failure of her daughter's approaching marriage, and the lat- Keeping Fit By E. Elliott Rawlins, M.D. Breast Feeding for the Baby IT HAS been proved without a doubt that breast-fed babies do better, develop faster, resist disease more effectively than do babies fed with milk from the cow. Statistics show that six times as many artificially fed babies die as breast-fed. There are many mothers who know this, but have excuses or causes for substituting cow's milk for their milk The chief reasons for this substitution are: the breast feeding conflicts with their "social" obligations or duties; "my breast milk does not agree with the baby," and "I have not sufficient milk." These mothers are not doing the best for their babies. They are not giving them the right start for life's journey. They do not try to remedy any legitimate deficiency in quality or quantity of their milk. And yet if they would they could. In Harlem a campaign is needed to induce Negro mothers to nurse their babies. Our Negro babies, need a good start in biological strength to enable them to bake and to meet the inequalities of prejudice—social, financial and political—with which they will be confronted in their life. Physicians and welfare workers should teach these Negro mothers how to conserve their milk, both as to quality, and quantity. One of the first requisites for such a success in breast milk is the maintenance of the supply by regular and complete emptying of the breasts. Most mothers think that their baby does this after a breast feeding. In my experience there are many infants who refuse to do this work, or are unable to do so because of weakness in the muscles or debilitated condition. Some babies have been sick others are immature in development, and the effort required to such the milk from the breast is no "mean job." It is hard work. The result is, in many such cases, the breasts of the mother are not thoroughly ter of Vickey, one of her daughters. In the last play, "Hier," Olga Spence scored another hit. Her portrayal of Mrs. Kenny, the foreign-born wife of John Kenny (Charles Burroughs), was done with artistic skill. Even her imitation of the foreign accent seemed perfect. Miss Spence has a future. The story is that of a stingy man, who killed his wife twenty years ago and was afraid to retener the apartment. When at last he did, he committed suicide. the ghosts of both himself and his wife appearing in the finale. The first play, "Mandy," dealt with lynching, and had the best dramatic possibilities, but as presented was an unconvincing bit of "propaganda." with poor acting. Ardelle Dabney, who played the part of Mandy, did very much better in the role of Martha in the last play. The story is that of a faithful cook of a white family whose son has been lynched. In "Pandora's Box" Marie Ma In "Pandora's Box" Marie Mashood danced well. Other actors were William E. Jackson, Margaret Foster, Menta Turner, James H. Holbrook, William G. Holly, Doralyne Spence, John S. Brown, Jessie Bailey, Laurit Smith. "Pandora's Box," which had some clever jacket, satirized by J. by Amend; "Mandy," by W. J. Jefferson, and "Foreign Mail" and "Her" by Eulalie Spence. This is the second annual season of the Krigwa Players, which is under the direction of Charles Burroughs. The program will be repeated on January 19 and 24. Roland Hayes' Program Roland Hayes will give his second recital of the season in New York in Carnegie Hall, on Wednesday evening, January 26, at 8:30.

"Impressions" (a) Shilhoutte emptied; as a result the supply of milk from the breasts diminishes. The baby cries because its hunger is not satisfied and the mother frets because of the crying. At this stage the mother attributes the crying to "colle," and the baby is weaned because the mother thinks that her milk is not "agreeing" with the baby. She becomes nervous, irritable and generally worn out from loss of sleep, and this further diminishes her milk supply. On the farm, if a barking dog annoys a cow during the night, the milk supply from that cow is diminished on the following day. The physiology of milk production is the same for mother as cow. If the mother could be taught how to express the milk from her breasts to supplement the inability of her baby, the breasts would be thoroughly emptied at each feeding. This complete emptying stimulates the breast milk glands to further functioning, and the breast milk does not "dry up." The milk expressed may be caught in a sterile wine glass. This milk is fed to the baby at once or it may be placed on ice and heated for use when required. Any physician or clinic will show a mother how to manually express the milk from her breasts. This trick and needs to be properly done. There is no question but that failure to empty the breasts regularly and completely is the cause for about 60 per cent of the failure in breast feeding. The mother must also have a well-balanced diet. This should contain milk, green vegetables, cereals. She should have plenty of fresh air and exercise without fatigue. She should have plenty of sleep and no worry. The nipples should be stimulated before the birth of the baby. The nipples should not be depressed. They should "stick out." This may be accomplished by drawing them out at regular intervals. These simple rules, if thoroughly attended to, will help materially the breasts of many women to function, instead of being a useless appendage.
