SO. CAROLINA GRAND JURY WHITEWASHES ATROCITIES Colorful News "Movies" By THE CAMERAMAN PREPARED NEWS SERVICE Literary Prominence IT IS of considerable importance to the Negro to know that one of his own race has attained distinction in the field of literary work. We are proud to learn that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois is listed among the contributors to the thirteenth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica. It is only human for us to glory in the achievements of our men and women, and we as a race should be especially proud of those of us who are able to distinguish ourselves and thereby reflect credit upon us as a whole. We must be broad enough in our views and liberal enough in our criticisms to forget the individual and see only the good done by the individual. No one can do anything unto himself alone — his actions reflect either good or evil on those around him; so it is with this honor that has come to Dr. Du Bois. It is not a distinction for himself alone, but it honors the whole race—the whole country. This is the first time such an honor has come to a member of our race. The Encyclopedia Britannica is the most comprehensive set of books of its kind in the world. Its contributors are people prominent in the literary, scientific, political, economic and religious world, each one being a specialist in his particular field. Dr. DuBois' contribution is on American literature — in part.

Morris Jr., graduate student at Columbia University. formerly of Norfolk, Va., now living at 58 West 134th street, disclaimed in part the charges brought against him by Atty. James C. Thomas, 15 Park Row, former Assistant United States Attorney. Morris, whose father is a former pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church and is now pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church in Richmond, Va., is being sued for $300 by Attorney Thomas for legal services rendered the former while he was being held for extradition to Tennessee on a felony charge. Young Morris is known all over the country as the "Boy Groom." Morris says that he purchased a Ford touring car from an automobile concern in Memphis in May 1955, giving a check for $164.17. The balance of $561.12 was to be paid in twelve monthly installments. He completed. Morris declared, three of those payments, and in the fall went in the car to visit his parents in Newark, N.J. He defiinted several payments then after on account of his illness and stored the car in a garage. He says he made several offers to the dealers in Memphis to return the car, paying the difference between what he owed and what the car would sell for second hand, and also asked for an extension of time.

Columbia Student Is Not a "Red" Herald-Tribune Admits It Did Eugene Corbie an Injustice in Its Report The Herald-Tribune has convinced itself that Engineer F. Corbie, 500 Riverside drive, a Columbia law student, is not a "Red." It its issue of November 6, 1926, the Herald-Tribune printed a report of a meeting held the preceding evening in the Labor Temple, under the auspices of International Youth, in which it was said that Mr. Corbie, a Negro delegate to the Biverterville Peace Congress in France, one of the speakers, had assailed the United States at a peace meeting. In its issue Thursday the Herald-Tribune, "in the interest of accuracy and in justice to him and because doubt has thus arisen as to what he actually said," prints the following statement, issued yesterday in his behalf by his attorneys, Arthur Garfield Hayes and William L. Patterson: We have made a full investigation of the remarks allowed to have been made by Mr. Corbie at the meeting held in the Labor Temple, on Friday evening, November 6. 1926. Mr. Corbie there rendered a report on the Milwaukee Peace Congress held in France, to which Congress he had been a delegate. In connection with this report he referred to various subjects such as the difference between Christianity, in ideals and in practice, the general intolerance among the peoples of the world, the national misunderstandings which lead to war when any spark of difference between nations is fanned into flame by militaria, to the persecution of the Negroes in the United States, which would never occur were the Constitution properly observed, and to matters of like kind. The reporter of the Herald-Tribune apparently associated these statements with the remarks made by other speakers, and as a result wrote a rather sensational article entirely misrepresenting Mr. Corbie's expressions and his personal views. You're truly, ARTHUR GARFIELD HATS, WILLIAM L. PATTENSON. After inquiring into the circumstances the Herald-Tribune is convinced that Mr. Corbie is not a "Reid" and has no Communistic connections.

Talesmen Slow in Reaching Verdict in Lexington's Famous $25,000 Heart Balm Case, Brought by Colored Woman Against Rich White Man BOSTON, Feb. 1. — Shortly before court adjourned Monday afternoon the jury in the Superior Civil Session at the East Cambridge Court House took under consideration the suits brought by Daisy Turner of Lexington against Joseph V. Boinay, white, head of the Boinay Motor Company, 950 Commonwealth avenue, Back Bay, for damages totalling $36,500, including one of $45,000 for heart balm. Miss Turner for some time was a maid in Boinay's Lexington home. In the event they reached a verdict it was read in open court yesterday. In his closing argument for Miss Turner, Attorney Ralph W. Glong referred to her as "this girl from the clean, green woods of Vermont, who was flattered, charmed and hypnotized by the attentions of this so-called white man with the black heart, a low, mean lover, who, according to his own statements, never gave her a single present. Attorney Daniel O'Connell, representing the auto dealer, characterized the actions of the maid as the rankest kind of extortion, pure blackmail. He asked the jury if they were going to say this woman, or this kind of woman, was going to shake down men for money. If so, he declared, there will be plenty of breach of promise cases drawn into courts. MISS TURNER ON WITNESS STAND ALL WEEK.

She was rushed to Harlem Hospital in a dangerous condition. At the time Mrs. Robinson was passing in front of 2225 Fifth avenue. Her assailant escaped and the motive of the shooting is not a mystery. Detectives were immediately assigned to the case. It is feared that a possible rang war was in progress, as several muffled shots are said to have been heard prior to the shooting of Mrs. Robinson. It was near this corner that two policemen shot and dangerously injured each other a few weeks ago, both of whom are now awaiting trial. Ulric Browne Held in Bail as Robber It was about four months ago that a Noun sport car loaded with an allied sang of intoxicated revelers mowed down and dangerously inhired nine people while racing down Lenox and Seventh avenue. Two innocent bystanders were also shot by stray bullets from a policeman's gun, who fired at the speeding machine. Uric Browne, 28, 213 West 144th street, who is said to have been an occupant of the machine, was arrested Sunday and held in $10,000 ball for robbery. Browne is accused of breaking into and stealing $15,000 worth of ladies' wearing apparel from a store at 2548 Eighth avenue. It is claimed by police that Browne's apartment had the appearance of a Fifth avenue shop. Loot was scattered everywhere.

Warner, Jesse Harvey and Joshua Dixon, who were held on information relative to accepting bribe, came up for a hearing in a habeas corpus proceeding Monday before Federal Justice Thatcher. It is said that although the agents were arrested over three weeks ago they were never indicted, but only held upon information and placed under $7,500 bail for the Grand Jury, and although several witnesses were brought down that body failed to make an indictment. In their effort to force the hands of the Government for an early trial and get a definite decision, the attorneys for the agents appeared before Judge Thatcher Monday and started habeas corpus proceedings. In order to do this it was necessary for the bonding company to hurrender one of the defendants, namely, Jesse Harvey, who, after the proceedings, was readmitted to hall. Justice Thatcher reserved decision after hearing the argument. The case was set for hearing before U. S. Commissioner Cotter for Friday, February 4. If the writ is granted, however, there will be no hearing and the charge against the agents will be dismissed. Cops' Shooting Case Put Off Cops' Shooting Case Put Off Neither Williams Nor Troy Ready for Hearing. The case of the two policemen who fought a pistol duel on 133d street near Fifth avenue early New Year's morning came up in the Heights Court Monday morning, but was held over until Feb. 16, due to the fact that neither side was ready. This pistol fight was staged on the sidewalk and many New Year's revelers narrowly escaped being struck by the many stray bullets. Both the cops, who were in plain clothes and off duty, were badly injured and rushed to Harlem Hospital after the smoke of the battle had cleared away. They were Charles Williams, 31, 201 West 11st street, and Robert Troy, 22, white, 124 East 13th street. Troy is attached to the Alexander avenue station in the Bronx. It is claimed that Troy's presence in the neighborhood at that hour of the morning and while off duty is questionable. Williams states that Troy was across the street and without warning opened fire on him. Williams returned the fire. Troy was shot three times and Williams twice. 17 fur coats, 51 dresses of every kind and description and all kinds of silk undergarments. NAUGHT TO BE DONE ABOUT LYNCHING OF THREE LOWMANS NAUGHT TO BE DONE ABOUT LYNCHING OF THREE LOWMANS Aiken County Grand Jury Finds That. It Hasn't "Sufficient" Evidence to Indict, Though Names of All Participants Were Given It (Preston News Service.) AIKEN, S. C., Jan. 31 The Aiken County Grand Jury investigation into the lynching last October of the three Lowmans reported late Friday that it did not find "sufficient" evidence had been submitted to it to warrant any indictments. The Grand Jury since Wednesday morning had heard thirteen witnesses, including seven persons who were prisoners in the jail Oct. 8, when the Lowmans were taken out and shot. They previously had named persons they recognized among the lynchers. W. W. Rogers, constable in charge of the investigation, testified for an hour and a half. It is understood that the name of every person implicated in the affair had been given to the Grand Jury. When the decision was made known, Judge J. Henry Johnson said: "I regret exceedingly and I believe every lover of South Carolina will regret that you have been unable to present any citizen or citizens for indictment of this case. I shall not assume that your failure to act is through any anterior motive. I prefer to believe rather that the State has not presented to you such evidence as would warrant indictment." The Grand Jury's action was anticipated long ago and the boast made that nothing would be done about the lynchings. In his charge to the Grand Jury, Judge Johnson called the lynchings "deliberate, wilful cowardly murder," and continued: "The time for words is past. It is time for action. Say you propose to bring them to justice or say you don't propose to do anything. And God help Alken County and South Carolina if you fail to do something." EXPOSURE SUFFERER At 9:30 AM morning, Mrs. Maggie Sharp, 62, 9433 Eighth avenue, is said to have been attended by Dr. Allen of Harlam Hospital, suffering from exposure.

MALONE'S FORMULA PROTECTED TWO RECEIVER'S EFFORT EVEN TO SEE IT BALKED BY COURT (Continued from Page 1.) lege, to obtain the secret formula by which Mrs. Annie Malone makes the famous hair preparation, was frustrated last Monday only by court action. Paeben, who is described as a bumptious lawyer of a rather mediocre type, and who has won the soubriquet of "crimson neck" here, was appointed by the court when Aaron E. Malone filed a petition seeking to obtain a fifty per cent interest in the million-dollar institution. He is charged during the few days he has been in control with using rather high-handed methods in running affairs at Poro, budgering employees and proclaiming loudly that "I am the boss now." He orders Mrs. Malone's car out to bring him to and from his office for the couple of hours which he spends with the accountants who are checking up the assets of the concern, in questioning employees about the methods which have made the business such a success and in ordering changes. Mrs. Malone has remained in her apartment since the receivership and has taken no part in running her office. The receiver capped his interference in the routine affairs of the institution Tuesday, however, by asking for the formula. Employees advised him that no one knew the secret of compounding except Mrs. Malone and that no one entered the laboratory except with her. "There will be another fellow in there tomorrow, for I'm going in," he declared. Mrs. Malone appealed at once to the judge, who called his appointee in and told him in open court that he had nothing to do with Mrs. Malone's formula which was a trade secret and to avoid overstepping his hounds. Puebel rold the judge that he was "only joking" when he asked for the formula, but it is rumored that a large sum has been offered for it by a white syndicate. Homer G. Phillips, well-known attorney and national political figure, has been retained by Mrs. Malone as counsel associated with Nagel and Kirby and Congressman Newton; her white lawyers. Mr. Newton has handled her legal business for years, even before she married, presenting her suit some years ago again "Dr. Majors, a former business associate and pre- paring and dissolving the corporation, Poro College Company, of which Mr. Malone was president and on which he rests most of his claim to ownership. S. E. Garner, another capable Negro attorney, has been promised appointment as co-receiver by Judge Moses Hartman in case the receivership is made permanent. This choice ended a race between a number of colored lawyers who desired to share the plum and who made representations to the court that it would pacify the colored people who think there is a combination to pluck Mrs. Malone of her holdings. While many people viewed with apprehension the sudden appointment of a temporary receiver for a business known to be substantial and prosperous and felt certain that a permanent receiver would be balanced with consequent great cost and injury to the institution, the pendulum is now swinging the other way, and the public is conceding Mrs. Malone a more even chance to protect herself from her husband's claims and the debate which his suit threatens.

On complaint of May Stevenson, white, a store detective at No. 1915 Third avenue, Robinson was held for the Grand Jury, on a charge of petty larceny growing out of his alleged theft of ten pairs of stockings valued at $3.30. Detective Muller, of the Vice Squad, who arrested Robinson, charmed that he found a loaded revolver in the man's pocket when he arrested him on hearing the shouts of Miss Stevenson. Robinson was held for Special Sessions on charge of violating the Sullivan Law. Police say that Robinson has been convicted four times for using drugs. FORUM TO OBSERVE NEGRO HISTORY WEEK The St. James' Presbyterian Church forum, in celebration of Negro History Week on Sunday, February 6, will present the following program: The Negro in American History, by Glenn Carrington; The Negro in Public Welfare, by James H. Hubert; The Negro in Music, by Cleveland G. Allen; The Negro in Art, by Palmer C. Hayden; The Negro in Law, by Attorney George E. Hull; The Negro Laborer, by Charles S. Johnson. Boy Orator Sued for Attorney's Fee (continued from Page 1) None of these requests was answered, he said. The last was made about the middle of October, but the only evidence of response was two detectives who presented themselves with a warrant for his arrest on the morning of December 4. Arraigned in the Holchts Court later the same day, Morris was held without bail by Magistrate Oberwasser until his release three days later. According to Tennessee law, it is a felony to take out of the State property which has not been completely paid for and to which purchaser has not full title, and this law was the beginning of Morris' present plight. Through Atty. Thomas, Morris telegraphed his father in Richmond, who sent a check to the dealers canceling their debt with his son, and the charge was dismissed. Atty. Thomas later submitted his bill for his services amounting to $22,222, and Morris' failure to pay the amount precipitated the present action. The action was filed in the Seventh District Municipal Court by Maxwell Shannon. 217 Broadway. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 2, 1927 Confesses Murder of Two in Ala. Police Believe He Shot When Pair Resisted Robbery BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 31.—Horace D. Vanghan confessed tonight, it is claimed, that he killed A. D. Moore, 40, and Mrs. Ruby Thornton, 35, Jan. 19 on a deserted road on the outskirts of Birmingham. Both were white. Announcement of the confession was made by Chief of Police Fred McDuff, who said Vanghan broke down after an all-day grilling. He promised to lead officers to the scene of the murders and show where he had hidden Moore's watch, stolen from the body, police said. Vaughan lived a short distance from the thicker where the bodies of Moore and Mrs. Thornton were found beside their parked automobile. Moore received a shotgun charge in the face and Mrs. Thornton was shot in the back of the head, apparently as she attempted to flee. Moore, supervisor of safety and sanitation of the Southern Railroad, was survived by a widow and several children, living in Chattanooga. Mrs. Thornton, mother of a ten-year-old daughter, was living at the home of her parents. Her husband, F. C. Thornton has been residing for some time in Atlantic City. Police believe Vaughan killed the couple when they resisted an attempted hold-up.

For the benefit of the jury she again painted a graphic verbal picture of Holley deliging her with kisses, and declaring his affection for her in an impassioned oration. It was at the height of this that she alleges Holley resolved to divorce his wife to marry her. She had told the jury a few minutes before that Holley seemed pleased when his wife did pass away. During 1916, she said, the auto dealer gave her a locket, and she gave him a pair of cuff links with initials engraved upon them. "I asked him for a lock of his hair at the time," she said.

Mrs. Bolny, the former Miss Landon, has been in constant attendance at the trial, sitting beside her husband. Miss Turner said the discovery of these letters was the first intimation she had that Bolney intended to jilt her for a white woman, and that when she questioned him about the letters he told her he didn't mean any harm and for her not to get jealous because Miss Landon was going to "marry a rich old tool from Wellesley in" the spring."

He was clad in stripes and handcuffed to a guard, which ordinarily does not constitute cause of rejoicing. Yet, at frequent intervals, the man gave vent to exuberant hallucinations, which resounded with full-lunged clarity above the roar of the train. "Glory to God," he shouted, "God bless everybody." The passengers stared, "What's the matter with that fellow?" they inquired of one another. "Dunno; he's going to the state farm at Cummings." "For how long?" "Life. I hear." "Gosh! And he's happy about it!" The amazement of the passengers changed to understanding when they learned the identity of the noisy passenger. He was none other than George Alexander, who was saved from the electric chair on the morning of November 5, even as the machinery for the current rumbled its death message and the witnesses waited wide-eyed in the adjoining chamber. When Alexander was called from the death cell and informed that he would not have to die, that his sentence had been commuted by the Governor to life imprisonment, he blinked his eyes stupidly and whispered: "Says which?" Now George comprehends, but he has been unable to say much else else since that memorable morning except "Praise the Lord" and "God bless everybody." He considers the life term ahead of him a mere lark compared with the fate he so narrowly missed.

FOUR "His art must be related to the life of the race, his philosophy must be a philosophy of realism which will enable him to penetrate the shams and hypocrisy of protestive propagandists, white and black and the machinations of modern imperialists to enslave the darker peoples, in particular, and the world proletariat of all races, creeds, color and nationality." In telling what the Negro would do at this critical stage of change and revolution, this day of economic, political and social disorder, he said the Negro must not rely wholly upon the efficacy of the old emotional religious method, reactionary political thinking or white philanthropy, old classical education or private capitalist business. He stated that the technique of the future must be the technique of power, since the modern world considers or respects nothing but power, regardless of its ethnic or race. "The need to power is organization, and the kind of organization that is shaping and determining the affairs of the world is economic organization," said the speaker, in telling of the need of organization at the point of production, in the form of labor unions, and at the point of consumption, in the form of co-operative societies. "It is possible with co-operative commerce organizations for Negroes to build up gigantic business establishments that will make the race a factor in the economic field. With a powerful trade union movement, the Negro workers may build up a strategic position in the industrial life, and win an adequate return for labor. "That these new forms of organization may be properly guided, the group must fortify and reinforce its position with scientific education—not only the education of physical sciences, but with the education of social sciences: education in history, economics and sociology, which inform the mind of the nature and function of the social forces." Other features of the program included the following: piano selection by Miss Sonoma Talley; brief history of the sorority; by Miss Jas Gittens, president of Tau Omega Chapter of the sorority; vocal solo, by Miss Minnie Brown, accompanied by A. Granville Dill. The meeting was presided over by Mrs Louise Jackson-Johnson. According to Miss Gittens, the two vocal chapters, Lambda and San Omega, will award a scholarship within two or three weeks to a girl graduate of the February, 2027, term.

"Theatre Thief" Sent to Sing Sing Police Say Springer Confessed to Fifty Uptown Robberies William Springer, 33, known as the "Theatre Burglar of the Bronx," who terrorized residents of upper Manhattan and West Bronx for a six months' period during which, he admitted, he had perpetrated fifty burglaries, was sentenced to serve from seven and a half to fifteen years in Sing Sing by Judge Barrett in the Bronx County Court Wednesday. He had pleaded guilty to third degree burglary. Springer gained his appellation not because he burglarized the剧院, but because it was his custom to enter houses and apartments while the residents were attending the theatre. His "working hours" were from 8 to 11 p. m. His method, according to the police, was to ring an apartment door bell and listen for an answer. If no answer was forthcoming he assumed that the occupants were away and entered the establishment by climbing up to the roof and down the fire escape. Last October 4 Springer was observed by Patrolman Nulligan of the West 152d street station, near 152d street and Macomb place, with an armful of bundles. Nulligan cried, "Halt!" and Springer ran. Nulligan gave chase, captured his quarry and found a revolver in his pocket.

Refusesto Appoint Negroes to Force Dallas, Texas, Police Chief Claims Results Prove Unsatisfactory (Preston News Service) DALLAS, Tex. Jan. 31—Dallas will have no Negro police during the regime of Police Commissioner Louis S. Tarley. This was Mr. Turtley's last Tuesday on a petition filed with the City Commission last Monday by a group of Negro leaders, asking that uniformed colored policemen should be used in the Deep Elm district and in the Oak Cliff colored residential sections. "I declared before my first elec- tion as police and fire commissioner." Mr. Turley said, "that I would never use Negro police officers in Dallas. That statement stands. I reiterate it for the same reasons that I made it in the first place. There is no need for Negro police here, and where they have been employed in southern cities the resu- tates have been unsatisfactory. "The Dallas police department has treated the Negroes of the city fairly. I have insisted on that sort of treatment. There have been no race riots and little friction under this system, whereas, other cities have had these difficulties. I will not comply with the request of the petitioners." Mayor Blaylock expressed himself as favoring the request embo- died in the petition.

Price Sent by Mail, 50c: THE FEMINIST VIEWPOINT Fat Babies—Passe "KEEP them normal and stay safe." is the advice of Dr. J. L. Bloomenthal, director of the Bureau of Child Hygiene, who says that fat babies, like fat turkeys, have little resistance and less good health. The babies of 1927, according to the Bureau, should be lean. The fashionable ladies have set the pace and innocent babies are to follow. "One superstition under which average mothers labor is that a fat baby is a healthy baby." said Dr. Bloomenthal. New York City, which has the second lowest mortality rate among babies, must be in line and have lean babies.—T.E.B. - ON THE AIR FOR WOMEN Station WEAF Station WEAF Feb. 2—11:15 a.m.—"The Proper Setting for the Table," Betty Crocker. 11:40 a.m.—"Taste in Home Decorations," Mrs. Ruth Robinson Treganza. 3—11:15 a.m.—"Your Monthly Menu," Emma Holloway. 11:40 a.m.—"Candy Making for the February Holidays," Nell Howard Enloe. 5:00 p.m.—"Making the Most of It."

SEVEN The Cook Says- If your cake browns immediately when put into the oven, the oven is too hot. Cool it as quickly as possible by lifting a lid on the upper part of the stove. Do not put paper over the cake, as it will adhere to the cake and probably cause it to fall. Do not put the coffee pot over a flame when making coffee, but place the pot in a pan of boiling water. This is a slow but excellent way of making the beverage, and, furthermore, it will keep the coffee hot indefinitely and keep it from boiling away. Coffee made in this manner retains its fine flavor and does not become strong. Maybe your bread didn't rise because you had too much salt in it. Be sparing with salt! If apples or tomatoes are pricked with a fork before they are based, they will not break open while cooking.

This extension has been decided upon owing to the fact that many students and their teachers failed to see the former notice and are asking for an extension of time. In connection with the gold modal winners' concert to be given at Carnegie Hall on March 25, Miss Lowden also announced that Ernest Hutcheson, the distinguished concert pianist and teacher, is coaching the piano ensemble, which will take part in the gold modal winners' concert and will also conduct them on the night of the performance. The piano ensembles include the D Minor Concerto by Bach, by three pianos and strings, the Vivaldi-Bach concerto with string accompaniment, and the Mozart Sonata in D for two pianos. The performers on this occasion will be gold modal winners of the New York Music Week Association for the past three weeks. The young players vary in age from eleven to eleventh years. Frederick Douglass AUTHOR A. E. Dr. Elizabeth Ross Haynes TUCKAHORE is the name of a plantation on the eastern shore of Maryland. It was once known for its worn-out, flat, sandy soil; for its old, poorly kept fields and fences, and for its stupid and ignorant people. On one side of this plantation flowed a lazy, muddy river, bringing with it, as some believed, argue and fever. At some distance from the river bank stood rows of log cabins, suggestive of a quaint village whose only streets are the trodden footpaths and whose only street lights are the moon and the stars. The cabins all looked very much alike except one which stood off to itself. Each one of these cabins had a door, but no window, a dirt floor, a fence-rail loft for a bed, and a ladder by which to reach it. And each had a clay chimney with a broad open fireplace and just a block of wood at the door for steps. In this little log-cabin village, called "the quarters," lived the slaves. The Slave Quarers The Slave Quarter Nearly every morning, just at peep of day, the cabin doors were unstained and people began to stir until "the quarters" were almost like a beehive. Men, women, and children large enough to work were getting ready to go to the fields nearby. Some with their smoking clay or corn cobs pipes in their mouths were jumping astride the hare backs of mules or horses. Some were beginning to ride off without a sound other than that of the jingle of gear and the beat of hoofs. Still others followed. Grandma Bess. Grandma Betsy Now and then a woman hastened to the lone cabin which stood off from the "quarters," pulling by the hand "a child or two," or carrying them in her arms. She carried at this cabin, presided over by "Grandma" Betsy Bailey, just long enough to leave her little children and then hastened on to the field. Grandma Betsy, an active old fisherwoman, fed the children; just as a man feeds his pigs. After placing the mush in a little trough, she set the trough either down on the dirt floor or cut in the yard. Then she waved her hand to the children, who made a rush for the trough, each with a little piece of board or an oyster shell in his hand for a spoon. Some of them, without seeming to rush, tried to eat faster than the others, but Aunt Betsy had only to cast a sharp eye at such offenders. Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey She never thought of trying to call any one of them by name except her own grandson. Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, childen on the Tuckahoe plantation were not supposed to have names or to know about their ages. Neither were they supposed to know the names of the days of the week or the months of the year, or to know anything at all about time. Frederick thought much of Grandma Betsey's cabin, of the eating though, of his bed in the loft by her side, and of the potato hole in front of her cabin fireplace. Little thought of his age or of any separation from his grandma ever entered his mind. Grandma Betsey, however, spent a part of each day thinking especially of his age and the time when he would be separated from her. Sent Away by Slave Owner She had already begun to picture the circumstances of their separation. One day she said to herself as she sat putting her foot: "Freddie is just about seven years old now. I know old Master will soon be sending some one down from the 'Great House' for him." She waited and looked and listened for days but no one came. She was beginning to wonder if old Master was, when suddenly one Friday afternoon he came down himself and gave me for Food. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 2, 1927 From the Book "Unsung Heroes"* ELIZABETH ROSS HAYNES PEDERCH-DOXGLAS erick to be carried away the next day. Grandma Betsy simply curtsied, saying, "Yes sir. Master, yes sir." On this particular afternoon she was engaged in mending her net for fishing. She finished her task at the close of the day, and early that night climbed the ladder leading to the bed in the loft of the cabin with tears trickling down her cheeks. She lay down on her bed by the side of Frederick, but instead of going to sleep she lay there thinking, thinking, thinking. Finally the comforting words of an old plantation melody came to her mind. She began singing it to herself just above a whisper: A little talk with Jesus makes it right, all right. A little talk with Jesus makes it right, all right. Troubles of every kind— Thank God, we always find A little talk with Jesus makes it right. Over and over again she sang it until she dozed off into a light slumber. Suddenly the straws on her rail bed seemed to stick her and the hard rails seemed to push up through the rags and hurt her sides. She turned and twisted and opened her eyes, but refused to admit to herself that she was restless until again she began to sing over and over the melody; A little talk with Jesus makes it right, all right. The singing finally died away and all was quiet. The next morning Grandma Betty rose even earlier than usual and went about her work. Frederick also soon tumbled down from the loft, without any thought of a bath or of changing his shirt, for, like the other slave boys, he dressed just once a week and that was Saturday night when he took his bath. A Journey on Foot On this Saturday morning Grandma Betty turned about more rapidly than usual and was therefore soon ready to start on her journey. With a white cloth on her head tied in urban style and the stem of her clay pipe between her teeth, she walked out, pulled and fastened the door behind her and stretched out her hand to Frederick who was sitting on the door step. "Come, Freddie, we are going away today," said she. He looked at her and asked, "Where are we going, Grandma?" She simply shook her head saying again. "Come on, son." Accustomed to obeying, he arose and grasped her hand but seemingly more reluctantly than usual. Out they went. After a time Frederick began to stumble along as the journey lengthened, murmuring. "I am tired, Grandma." Grandma Betsey stopped and squatted down. "Gee, on my shoulders, son," she said. Freddie stepped behind her, placed his little arms around her neck and with her assistance scrambled up on her shoulders with his legs about her neck. Not another word was spoken. Grandma Betsey rose with her burden and trudged on until Freddie begged her to let him walk again so that she might rest. Finally she squatted down, and Freddie with his tired little limbs almost fell off her shoulders. Grandma Betsey stretched out both her arms. "Whew!" she said. Freddie looked at her then and placed his arms around her as best he could, saying tenderly. "Grandma Betsey, was I heavy?" Are you titled? "I am so sorry." His New Master They continued the journey until they reached the home of Frederick's new master on a plantation twelve miles away. Immediately they went into the kitchen where there were children of all colors besides Aunt Katte, the cook. The children asked Frederick to come out and play with them but he refused until his grandmother urged him to go. They went out behind the kitchen. Frederick stood around at first as if afraid of the other children. Then he backed up against the kitchen wall and stood there as if he thought the kitchen might run away from him. While he stood the Grandma Betey tipped out unseen by him. One of the children came up to him and said, "Fred, Fred, your grandma's gone!" Frederick ran into the house as fast as he could and looked all around for her. Not seeing her, he ran a little way down the road and called her. She did not answer. Then he fell down and began to kick and cry. His brother and two sisters who had formerly been brought there tried to pet him, and to coax him to eat some apples and pears. "I Want Grandma" "No." said he, still kicking, "I want Grandma." There he lay until nightfall, when Aunt Katie came out and told him he must come in. He went in and lay down in the corner, crying and hobbing to be taken back home. The trip that day, however, had made him so tired that he soon feel asleep. The next morning he asked Aunt Katie when Grandma Betsy was coming back to get him. She rolled her eyes and cast such fiery glances at him that Frederick understood and hushed. He had thought of asking for ash-cake like that which Grandma Betsy used to make, but her look drove that out of his mind. Work as Slave Begins Aunt Katie was not long in giving Frederick to understand that he was to drive up the cows every evening, keep the yard clean, and wait on Miss Lucretia, his master's daughter. The very first time Frederick went on an errand for Miss Lucretia she smiled and gave him a piece of buttered bread. He smiled, too, from ear to ear, bowed and ran off enting and wondering how she knew that he was so hungry. He always ran smiling whenever she called him. And when hunger pinched his little stomach hard, he nearly always crept under Miss Lucretia's window and tried to sing like Grandma Betay: A little talk with Jesus makes it right, all right.

One evening during his first summer on this plantation the rain poured down seemingly in sheets. He could not stand under the window and try to sing and he had in some way offended Aunt Katie. She stood at the kitchen table cutting bread for the other children and occasionally brandishing the knife at Frederick, saying: "I'll starve you, sir." He sat there watching the other children eat, watching Aunt Katie and still keeping one eye on an ear of corn on the shelf of the replace. He did not lose his first opportunity to seize it and slip a few grains off the cob into the fire to parch. While he sat she eased the parched grains of corn into his mouth, to his great joy in walked his own mother with a few cakes for him. She caressed him and asked him several questions. Seeing how nearly starved he was, she shook her fist at Aunt Katie and laid down the law to her. Then she tarried with her child for the last time, and even then just a short while—for she knew that she must neatly walk the twelve miles back to her home before the overseason came out and the horn was blown for field time. Aunt Katie, remembering that stormy evening with Frederick's mother, said to him one day, "Come, Fred, and get a piece of bread. Dip it into this pot liquor." He curried first, then eagerly taking the bread. he walked up to the pot and dipped it and his hand as well into the greasy broth. For a few minutes he looked as though he would eat both bread and hand, but the rattling of the dishes in his master's dining-room attracted his attention. He hesitated a moment, then smacked his greasy lips and bowed himself out of the Are You Sick a Long Time and Nothing Helps You?

Immediately they began to scramble for the crumbs under the table. As soon as these were gobbled up, Frederick rushed into the yard to get some of the bones and scraps which the maid had just thrown out for "Nep," the dog. Scantily Clad Winter and Summer Clad, winter and summer, in just a tow shirt sack scarcely reaching to his knees. Frederick was as scantily clothed as he was fed. On cold winter days he often stood on the sunny side of the house or in the chimney corner to keep warm. On cold nights he crept into the kitchen closet and got into the local bag headforemost. An addition to these hardships, he often saw his own relatives and others cruelly beaten. Hardened with such experiences, his childish heart began to long for another place to live. One day, while he was in this unhappy frame of mind, Miss Loretta called him, saying that within three days he would be sent to Baltimore, to live for a while with her brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Laugh Aid. "You must go to the creek and wash all the dead skin off of your feet and knees," he said to him. "The people in Baltimore are clean. They will auch at you if you look dirty. You am not put on pants unless you eat all the dill off," she added, probably made himself busy, pounding most of the three days in the creek, and part of the three nights jumping up to see if the out was ready to go. Sent to Baltimore Sent to Baltimore The following Saturday morning died the boat sailed out of the tides River for Baltimore. It was 载ed with a flock of sheep for the market, and a few passengers, among whom was Frederick. After driving the old plantation a last look, as he thought, he made his way to the bow of the boat and spent the remainder of the day looking ahead. They arrived in Baltimore on Sunday morning. After Frederick assisted in driving the sheep to the slaughter-house, one of the boat hands went with him to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Auld. Mr. and Mrs. Auld and their little son, Thomas, met Frederick at the door and greeted him heartily. "Here is your Freddie who will take care of you Tommy. Freddie you must be kind to little Tommy." said Mrs. Auld. Frederick smiled and nodded his head. Thomas at once took hold of Frederick's hand and seemingly wished to hurry him into the house to see his toys. Hear Bible Read The children played until they heard Mrs. Aud begin to read, Frederick stopped playing to listen, Thomas said, "Oh, come on, Freddie, let's play. That is just Mother reading the Bible. She reads it that way every day when Father is away." "The Bible? What is that?" asked Frederick, looking at Thomas. Little Thomas, surprised because Frederick had never seen a Bible, ushered him into the room where his mother was reading. Thomas knew better than to interrupt his mother while she was reading, but as soon as she stopped he told her why he had brought Frederick in. Mrs. Aud showed him the Bible, asked him a few questions and sent them both out to play. Learning to Read Days passed, but not one when Mrs. Aula failed to read her Bible. Frederick became so interested in her reading that one day he went to her and asked her to reach him to read. She paused for a while as if in doubt, then she braced up and gave him a lesson. At the end of the lesson his little heart seemed so full of joy and thanks that he scarcely knew what to say or do. Mrs. Auld, seeing the situation, said, "Run along now, Frederick. I know you are grateful. Come in at this time every day for your lesson." He made his way out, and every day for several days, with beaming face, he went in for his lesson. Lessons Stopped One day when Mr. Auld came in and saw his wife teaching the boy he said to her in great surprise, "My dear, are you really teaching that boy to read? Don't you know he will learn to write? Then he will write a pass and run away with himself." She pleaded for Frederick, but Mr. Auld beat upon the door-facing, saying as he went out, "I will have no more of this non-sense. This must be the end of it." Mrs. Auld dismissed Frederick and seemingly repeated of her mistake; but Frederick had learned his alphabet. Soon he managed to get a Webster's spelling-book, which he all ways carried with him when sent on errands. After this, every time he went out, he made new friends until the very boys who at first pounced upon him at every corner, now began to help him with his spelling lessons. One day while he was on his way to the shipyard, and just after he had gotten a spelling lesson at the corner, it occurred to him that the boys might also help him to learn to write.

Washington was praised at a memorial meeting at St. Mark's M. E. Church last Thursday evening, held under the muscipes of the lycum. The meeting was arranged by Cleveland G. Allen. The feature of the meeting was letters read from prominent citizens of both races from various sections of the country prulsing Washington as a great American, including tributes from Theodore Roosevelt, Congressman Hamilton Fish, President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard University, Dr. Emmett J. Scott of Howard University, H. R. Taylor, director of industries of Tuskegee; Albon Holsey, secretary of Tuskegee; the Rev. Dr. Wun.

"He was not opposed to the higher education of the Negro as some people inferred," said Dr. Roberts, "but on the other hand he advocated higher training for the race. He sent his own sons and daughters to the best colleges, and sent them as high as it was possible for them to go." Others who spoke were: Aubrey Bowser, teacher at P. S. S8; Geo. Abbott a lawyer; Mrs. Josephine Frazier, teacher at P. S. S8; George W. Hodges, president of the yseum. Robert Douglass gave readings from Dunbar. Tuskegee Post Office Gets Cancelling Machine TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Ala- Jan. 31.—To facilitate the handling of the steadily increasing volume of mail which passes through the Institute post office here, a new model cancelling machine has been recently installed. The new machine cancels letters at the rate of 400 per minute. Formerly each letter was stamped by hand. The U. S. Post Office Department installs these machines only in post offices which handle a certain minimum volume of mail. The post office at Tuskegee Institute is a regular second class office. It is one of the few post offices in the country entirely managed by Negroes. Its personnel consists of James B. Washington, brother of the late Booker T. W. Washington, postmaster; Tracy Branum and George W. Clark; clerks; Theo. Richardson, auxiliary clerk, and two student employees. An average of 2,332 pieces of mail is handled daily by this force. Money orders to the amount of $3,000 are written each month.

Roxbury, was dedicated Friday by the Rev. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University. Under the leadership of the Rev. Clifford L. Miller, this new church center has been established by transferring Mr. Miller's congregation from its former home on Massachusetts avenue to the buildings which were formerly occupied by the Society of Friends. The church is located in the midst of a colony of approximately 1,500 colored people and, with the assistance of the Massachusetts Congregational Home Missionary Society and the Congregational Church Union, it plans to carry on extended social activities from its enlarged headquarters. The church, which dates back to 1855, was known at first as the William Lloyd Garrison Memorial Church, while the St. Mark's Social Center was established by the Congregational denomination in 1922. Fisk University Doubles Tuition High School Department Soon to Be Discon- NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 29—Beginning next year the tuition of Fisk University will be raised to $83.33 per quarter, and then the High School Department will be suspended, according to an announcement recently issued from the president's office. In announcing the change in tuition rate, Dr. Thomas Elisa Jones said "Our students must more and more bear a larger share of the expense of their education just as students are doing in other large schools," and he further declared that even with this increase in tuition the students of Fisk will be paying less than in some of the other colleges for colored youth. Fisk must hereafter run on a strictly budget basis," he continued, "and in addition to other sources of present and expected income, the school must procure $50,000 annually from the students." From the reports received by Dr. Jones, who has been travelling in various parts of the country, persons desiring to attend Fisk are more interested in the kind of education they will receive than in the cost of that education. It is the consensus of opinion that students are willing to pay for an education that is equivalent in quality to that of the best schools in the North and East. In line with this idea the announcement was also made that within one or two years graduate work leading to the master's degree will be offered in several departments. It is also understood that the High School Department of the University will be discontinued after this year in order to give opportunity for concentration on the college work, the enrollment for which has already exceeded the five hundred mark for the first two quarters of this school year, which is several per cent greater than the college enrollment for the entire four quarters of last year. In connection with this announcement word comes from the dean's office that certain sub-freshman courses will be offered to provide for probable deficiencies in the student's high school preparation. Dr. T. S. Harten, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., will preach one of his special sermons at the Union Baptist Church, 240 W. 145th street, Sunday, February 6. at 3:30 p. m. Subject: "Crazy Blues." Dr. Harten will be accompanied by a chorus of 200 voices from his church, known as the Harten Gospel Singers. Mine, Lula Butler Hurse, the national Baptist evangelistic, will also sing. She will be with us for ten nights beginning Feb. 6. The public is cordially invited (Advt.) THIS WEEK By Ernest Rice McKinney. (Preston News Service.) Divorce Filth THE public is being subjected to spectacle after spectacle in the form of fifth slinging divorce trials. Lita, Charlies, Daddy and Peaches are the latest. Nothing is too nasty, lewd and salacious to be told and aired in court before the degenerates that crowd in to hear and giggle. It seems that the United States is rapidly becoming a real Moronia. Added to the sickening dementia of the principals are the scheming and conniving of the lawyers. They are the real fly in the ointment. They help frame these cases and make them as dirty as possible. The worst of perverted sexual practices is paraded. The wives of Chapillin and Browning have said things about their husbands that are not fit to print or read. According to these mentally backward young women, they and their husbands have been living in slime and filth. There was no limit. The most disgusting sexual practises were the order of the day. The lives of these two couples, according to testimony of the wives, were as far from normal as possible. I should think that this sort of thing would drive more than a few healthy judges from the bench. A Preacher THE Rev. J. Frank Norris — Texas killer — is out and free. To be sure, no one expected him to be convicted. Human life is cheap all over the United States. It isn't worth anything in Texas and other points South. Gun "totin'" — even among preachers — is regarded as a mark of social eminence throughout the South. It is perfectly proper to slay one's enemy. When Norris left the courthouse he was met by thousands of his ferocious followers. Jehovah had answered their plowers and their beloved "medicine man" was free again to voicelessly hurt his poisoned darts at evolution and the Modernists. To date, however, it has not been reported that the Rev. Dr. John Roach Straton sent a message of congratulation and consolation. While inspecting the dynamo of his car a Pullman porter on the Canadian National Railways was left on the ground when his train started. Frantic at being left in the winter wastes he seized the hand rail of the Pullman door and clung to that rail for twelve miles. When the train stopped he was still clinging, but his hands were frozen There are said to be 3,424 spoken languages or dialects in the world, distributed as follows: America, 1,624; Asia, 937; Europe, 587; Africa, 276. A minister in a church in Houston, Texas, was recently arrested and fined $25 for disturbing the peace by his loud and frequent hallelujahs. The neighbors could not sleep. Senility in State Department OUR State Department has sunken low indeed. It is now presided over by an old man around seventy years of age, fit only for the ministrations of a psychoanalyst or a psychiatrist. Never in the history of our stumbling government has such a spectacle been presented to the people as that of Secretary Kellogg before the Foreign Relations Committee of the United States Senate, when that befuddled old gentleman attempted to justify our actions in Nicaragua. One is also forced to apply, at least, part of this description to the President. He, too, is befuddled, scared and incompetent in this Nicaragua matter. Mr. Kellogg told the Committee that the United States is in Nicaragua to protect American citizens at their request. He said that there was conclusive proof that the trouble in Nicaragua is being fomented by Mexico and that in turn Mexico is being ruled from Moscow. In proof of this the Secretary of State read some wild statements of the usual type utter SECOND SECTION ed by certain Red loaders, about bases of operations and the spreading of Bolshovic propaganda on our side of the world. The proof submitted by Mr. Kellogg was worse than no proof. It would not convince an infant, a boote, a fundamentalist evangelist or a corner policeman. Mr. Kellogg showed himself to be intellectually barren and stark naked mentally. His position is puerile, infantile, asinine and worthy only of a ditch digger or a munitions manufacturer. For no one believes that there is any excuse for a rupture with Mexico or for our belligerent meddling into the internal affairs of Nicaragua. The United States has become the big bully of the Western Hemisphere. There is ample reason to believe that this bullying has been, and is instigated by certain gentlemen "who know what they want and how to get it." What these gentlemen want is oil and sugar plantations and all other money-making resources "of the little countries to the south of us. Therefore, we meddle in the politics of these little countries, help to stir up revolutions and help maintain the rule of venal tyrants who chase all the liberals out, and then sell out their countries to our "patriotic" international bankers. In order to make the thing look regular and to fool the American people the "Red Monace" is dragged from the closet and paraded before our yokelery both in Congress and out. However, if war does come from all this bungling, I hope that the several hundred pompous gentlemen who idle away their time on Capitol Hill will be placed in the front ranks. Perhaps there were divorces in the old days because "duty" to a wife meant letting the man do all the thinking.

Shriners Ask Court to Vacate Injunction ( Preston News Service. ) WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 31.—The Shriners asked the Supreme Court Wednesday to set aside an injunction issued by the Texas courts restraining them from using the name, emblems or insignia of white Shriners. A petition seeking a review was filed by the Ancient Egyptian Arab Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, which says it was organized in New York State in 1872. Proceedings against the organization were instituted by D. W. Michaux and others in Harris County. Tex., and resulted in a permanent restraining order, which was affirmed by the State Supreme Court. The injunction was made by the State Court to apply throughout the United States and enforced the Negroes from organizing "temples" or lodges where such names, emblems or insignia would be used.

The throng of dancers actually went wild over this genial artist, who seems to be the latest and greatest craze of the music world. A prominent phonograph company was represented by his general manager who, after making a speech of welcome in which he stated how much his organization thought of "Fess," presented Mr. Williams with the most gorgeous silver loving cup in recognition of his achievements that this writer has over seen. Basket after basket of flowers was presented to "Foss," followed by three rosing cheers that nearly raised the roof, so enthusiastic was the crowd over the pot of Harlem. The Savoy Ballroom is at it pains. This writer notice a whirlwind of specialties for the forthcoming days which he predicts will crowd the popular ballroom with enthusiastic audiences.

Which Means That Music in Keeping With the Pictures Will Be in Order The Renaissance Theatre concert orchestra, under the leadership of Donovan David, will open at the Renaissance Theatre Saturday afternoon, Feb. 12.

What thoughts that phrase must bring to mind? Galleons of gold! Merchant ships! Men-o-war! Valiant vessels! Bold buccaneers! Plunder pirates! All these will be seen at the Lincoln Theatre Thursday, when Frank Lloyd's first Paramount production, "The Eagle of the Sea," makes its local debut. This Charles Tenney Jackson story traces the life of Jean Lafitte, noted American pirate, from the day he adopts the name "Captain Sazarac" until he wins the woman of his heart. Needless to say, this is only accomplished after many hazardous voyages, lively adventures and fierce dights. History tells us that Lafitte won amnesty for himself and devil-knew when they helped "Old Hickory" Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans. All became respected citizens with the solitary exception of their captain. He broo.o his parrots and disappeared. A reward was then offered for his capture—dead or alive. With this colorful past, Jean Laffitte arrives in New Orleans seven years later, just at a time when General Jackson's return is being celebrated. There he falls in love with Colonel Leston's lovely niece, Louise. His courtship progresses very nicely until Jackson recognizes him and she rehearsely voices her dislike of men such as Laffitte. Then—things started happening. But they come in such surprising fashion that each presents a greater thrill than the one preceding it. Florence Vidor, justly called "the orchid lady of the screen," is featured as is Ricardo Cortez, playing most spectacular role of his career, that of Jean Laffitte. Limehouse Thriller at the Douglas Theatre Limehouse, which gave the public that popular song "Limehouse Blues" and brought success and fame to Thomas Burke for his "Limehouse Nights," gave Rin-Tin-Tin an exciting and thrilling locale for his latest Warner Bros. production. "While London Sleeps," which shows at the Douglas Theatre, for three days, beginning Saturday, February 5, takes hints from the mountain wilds and the snow country into the crooked, shadowy streets of London's underworld where crime and daring keep Scotland Yard harassed and busy. "While London Sleeps," written and directed by Walter Morosco, is the melodramatic story of a master-criminal, his dog, his beast-like assistant, the girl they kidman, and the man whom she loves. In breath-taking sequences you are rushed from the mansions of the mighty to the dens of the lowly; from the hands of justice to the dives of those who erade it; and all the time linty fights and loves with intense devotion and loyalty.

Never less than five thousand turn out to see the Renaissance and Celtics in action and the last time they met at the 369th Infantry Armory almost ten thousand basketball fans were on hand to see the contest. Renaissance, having worn off the stage fright of meeting these world-beating white players and New York having had a taste of what Renaissance can do when she is pushed, will most likely attempt to tax the big armory on Lincoln's Birthday night when they again make a bid to stop the Shamrocks.

Be that as it may, 143rd street and Lenox avenue on Saturday night, February 12, will present an animated scene, for thither will be headed about every fan, his sister and brother, for aside from the big game there will be other features that will appeal to the vast throng. First in order will be the specially designed music for the occasion, then the meeting of the Asbury Park Elks and the Majestic A. C. in the opening game. "We owe it to the public," said "Bob" Douglas the other day, "to secure a place where everybody can see the game and be scared in comfort at the same time. The fans will never know how much the Renaissance appreciate their support, and we are simply doing these things in our efforts to show that we are not unaware of the warm spot we hold in the hearts of the people." Which is a mouthful coming from "Bob." But that did not prevent Renaissance from running roughshod over Joe Drefus's Metropolitan League Stars, and hanging up a score of 51-53. At the end of the first half, the team passed 32 points, while the stars were trailing with but S. Saunders, Ricks and Mayers were the outstanding stars of the evening, being responsible for five baskets each. Harold played a wonderful game and is apparently getting better all the time.

At the end of five regulation game the score was deadlocked at 20 all, and an extra five minute period had the crowd on its toes. In this period Henderson drew first blood with a twin pointer, and the legion of Washington adherents howled with glee. It was short-lived. Queen sent the loyal home fans a delicious frenzy with a long shot toward the and the roof trembled with the dismay. Green arched one for the lead and then put the game on ice with another under the basket. The visitors had a clever passing game and played smart basketball. Henderson at center towered over his opponents, always getting the tap. Braddick and Simms lockie-cheek Howard up, but this kept them on his knees. Davis and Hawkins held Green in the late-in the second half when he broke loose for three twin partners. Queen and Pendleton broke up the visiting offensive and tallied damaging scores. The visitors won applause with their clean play and fighting spirit. Ed pointeted a big hand as his twin point scored the score in the final minutes of the game.

On the same program will appear the Emmanuel Sisterhood basketball club, which will meet the Alumni. The league teams will have as their guest the Junior and Senior teams from the West Side Branch Young Men's Christian Association. BOWLERS CONTINUE TO WIN. The West. 135th Street bowlers came in for their share of honors on Jan. 27. when the "Rye" Young Men's Christian Association boys came down, bringing with them their basketball and billiard players. The first team, composed of Frazer, Fair, Miller, Smith and Stone, won three straight from the visitors in bowling by the counts of 805, 868 and 829. And It Took Young to Unravel the Various Sigmas, Kappas, Alphas, Etc., for Our Readers Alpha and Omega will clash on Easter Monday for the interfraternity basketball championship of New York City. They were survivors in this city's first interfraternity tournament in joins with Kappa Alpha Pei and Phi Beta Sigma significance, at the Renascence Casino Saturday afternoon before a large crowd of cheering, eager fans. # The first game was neck and neck unto the end when Kappa was trailing close behind Alpha Phi Alpha, only two points separating the two teams. It started the works with a foul shot, but Alpha's lead was not to last long. Three shots from the 15-foot mark offered Kappa her only chance to lead during the affair. But like a streak of lightning out of a stormy sky Alpha burst forth in a pent-up revolt and dashed in to the a shot. A shot by Lawton and the score was tied—and another—and another—two by Polard. The count was 11-3. One more drive by Kappa with Haynes, Work and Sims commanding the fire, brought the score up to 20 to 15 at the end of the first half. In the latter period the victors made six free throws; the losers made two baskets and five free throws. That was all the scoring. But the playing had flashes of brilliance that exacted from the enthusiastic onlookers applause and cheers. And the guarding was tight. Two of Kappa within one point of her but in each case the foe would forget ahead again. So the game cued with the count at 24 to 26 in favor of Alpha. Lawton, of Alpha, was easily the man whose work in the shooting zone brought best results. He made five goals from the floor and three from the foul line. His tenmate, Pollard, sank two double shots and scored three while Quentin Han accounted for one of each. Dick Harvey, two free throws and Sykes, the former Norchouse star, one. Work, in center for the losing five, did most of the work, shooting two floor goals and five fouls. Sims, although at times inclined to handle the boys a bit tougher, also registered a basket man four fouls. Dangerfield made four fouls shots and Haynes made three Stevens shot one basket. Omega Takes Easy Victory. The other number on the program came in the form of an anticlimax. While Sigma made a bid at the beginning to tumble the dope bottle, obtaining a 1-1 lead on foul shots, there was nothing that could stop Omega once the team got to working. Captain "Stretch" Grant, "Bob" Payne, McNichol, McCoy and the rast could not be hated. "Stretch" unpacked fire and four fouls for a total of four fouls, beating by one point the market by Lawton in the previous minute. Sigma's team is new and yet without a great deal of experience, but cheered on by the hearty yells of its supporters it put up a commendable fight, losing in honest battle, 36-15. Weeks and Avery with four points each, Lewis and Hardy with three, and Hardy with two were the scorers. There seemed to be something uncanny about the shooting of Grant, the Omega leader, that made him ever a dangerous man. Payne, catering four field goals and a foul shot into the books, beaten with his usual tenacious mind in bright lights. McNeilhua in a cometock dropped in two baskets. McCoy, ex-Howard big gun, was one of the pleasant surprises of the day. He accounted for a field goal and a couple of single counters besides playing a very flashy game. Daniels got away with one field basket, while White reported one of each kind. If interest and attendance may be used as a judge of fan fervor inflicted in fraternity basketball game—the clash between the these elimination matches, Alpha and Omega—looms as a contender for the spotlight which graces Washington and Philadelphia on alternate Thanksgiving Days. games will be played on a neutral alley, honors being now even. This team bids fair to become the leading team in Harlem. They are fortunate in having their own alleys, where they can get to reach NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 2, 1927 Chips Along the Cinderpath THE amateur sporting world received a severe jolt when it was reported that De Hart Hubbard, the greatest broad jumper ever known to the world, had entered the ranks and files of the professionals. By touring the country with a team of basketball players, he is said to have relinquished all rights and privileges to participate in any amateur athletic competition. SUCH a step, however, would not be surprising in these days of gigantic professionalism. Whether or not Hubbard would attempt to capitalize his track and field ability when the basketball season had ended could not be learned from his closest friends—because they were not sure. Nevertheless, with Jole Ray, joint holder of the world's indoor record for the one-mile, Charlie Hort, the world's greatest pole vaulter, and all around him, Charlie Hort will all appear to less prominence, who have been already deprived of their amateur status it is doubtful if Mr. "Cash and Carry" Pyle will not step into the fray. It was rumored last year that Charlie Paddock, world's premier sprinter, had received an offer of $10,000 from the above-named promoter his participation in three professional meet meets. Paddock declined this offer because of his desire to compete in the 1982 Olympics. He said that they've already been declared insoluble. Hubbard carries a very large following, and promoters of track meets this season anticipating his services will be greatly disappointed. IN his four years at the University of Michigan, Hubbard established a record to be enforced by any college athlete. Not only was he a broad jumper of extraordinary merit. Previous to his attempt in the broad jump, he specialized in the running high jump, in which he jumped as high as six feet. He won several races in the high hurdles, and as a hop, step and jump he is unencelled, though having not sought fame in that direction for some time. HUBBARD probably reached the zenith of his career when making his last appearance in the colors of the University of Michigan at the Western Conference championships in 1925, he made the hitherto unbelievable jump of 25 feet 10 inches—establishing the present world's record in nonequivalent jump. He was awarded the "100" in 9.8 seconds. A week prior to those performances he set the Western Conference record for the "century" in the slashing time of 9.74 seconds—fourteen-one-hundredths of a second slower than the world's record then. His career in college was just one of continual record smashing. BECAUSE of the little variety of athletic stars available, Andrew T. Walker, chairman of the New York Post Office Clarke's Asn Athletic Committee, announced that his organization would pass up its indoor athletic carnival this year. In place of the track meet, a special amateur boxing tournament for their Sick and Death Benefit Fund, at Manhattan Casino, on April 2. BECAUSE MJOR, former junior national high jump champion, who is now representing St. Bonaventure College, will be down to display his wares at the 20th annual track and field meet of the Milwaukee A., on Wednesday evening. Feb. 2, at Madison Square Garden. Charlie will find no "bed of roses" with the other five contestants. OPPOSED to him will be Robert Juday, Pennsylvania Railroad A. A. former A. A. u. champion; Clarence Flahive, former intercollegiate champion; Palmer T. Wright, of Columbia University, who finished pole vault in the outdoor at A. A. A. championships last May in Rutgers, Western Conference champions in 1925, and Harold M. Osborn, who holds the world's indoor, outdoor and Olympic records. LAST year at the Boston A. A. games Charlie treated the Bostonians to a rare treat in defeating Osborn with a leap of 6 feet 4 inches. Charlie may need to exceed that jump in order to win, for last Saturday Osborn made a leap of 6 feet 4½ inches at the Massachusetts Council, K. of C. games. Being a product of the Metropolitan district, Charlie is very popular in this area, and there will be a large number of his admirers present to urge him on to victory. It has been officially announced that the women's senior outdoor Metropolitan track and field championships will be conducted under the auspices of the Prudential Life Insurance A. A. in Newark, on March 16. Girl aspirants of track and field honors may secure registrations only from the office of the Amateur Athletic Union, room 303, 305 Broadway. REPORTS state that a student at King Edwards' Medical College, in England, by the name of Mukel, broke the world's record for the 100-meter race in seconds, respectively. The sports tournament was held in Years Day, and the timing was done by official timers of the governing athletic body. OFFICIALS of the Millrose A. A. are leaving no stone unturned to make their annual track and field meet a colossal success. Our own Gus Moore, St. Bonaventure star miler, is among the seven of the leading runners of the country chosen to match skirts for the Rodman Wannaker trophy. THE rest of the field will consist of James Connolly, Lloyd Hahn, Day Conger, Joe Sivak, Leo Larvee and Ellsworth Haggerty. Though we do not pick Gus to win this event, we'll venture to wager that he'll be among the point scorers of the evening. THE athletic prowess of his brother, Phil, has almost completely overshadowed the ability of King Edwards. For some time now the latter has not been engaged in active competition. However, he has resumed training, and more than likely will be seen in his old position on New York University's mile relay. Unlike his brother, he has chosen the shorter route—anything ranging from the "100" to the "440." The latter has won several valuable prizes in this event. We hope to see him on the boards early next month—then the brotherly rivalry will ensue! The sixth annual indoor track and field championships of the I. C. 4 A. S. it has been announced, will be held at the 102d Engineers' Arms Arena, running won several valuable prizes among the thirty-nine member colleges. All entries for the eleven varsity championship events, and the medley relay for freshmen, must be in by Feb. 12. The list of varsity events on the program is as follows: 70-yard dash, 70-yard high hurdles, one mile run, one mile race, 16-pound shotput, running high jump, running broad jump pole wrestle, and 35-pound weight throw. The medley relay for freshmen is not included in the point scoring for the team championship. It was at this meet last year that "Babe" Cooke, of Syracuse University, versity, attracted universal attention. Running the last leg on the mid-leg for his school, he completed the 440 in the remarkable time of 41 minutes, keeping his legs away from us so far this season. No doubt he has something "up his sleeve" which he will unroll at the champs. SINCE writing these lines we have been reliably informed that De Hart Hubbard has emphatically denied the charge of professionalism which startled the athletic world last year.

HARLEM FIVE TO MEET ASTORIA Thrilling Game Expected at Renaissance Casino —Harlemites Beat Pelham Fire Dept., 37-27 After a most disastrous start, in the early part of their season, the newly formed Harlem Big Five seems to have rounded out into a combination of threats to, unseat the Renaissance, Big Five, from the perch they have held so long. Not much interest was paid to the advance notices of the coming of the new Harlem quintette, and after their first game, the opinion unchanged, but since then they have stepped out against the leading white clubs in and around New York, and won every game. Their latest victims being the Pelham Fire Department, who they trounced last Wednesday night, by the scores of 31-7, and Friday, the Franklin of the Bronx, to the time of 31-1. Tonight will see that famous combination Waddell and Moton, ably assisted by Stroop Hubbard, Six Garcia, Hiy Monte, Stroop Grant and Hackey Rhyne, strutting their stuff against the well-known Astoria K. C. The management is dickering for the services of the Cleveland Eiks, who have met and defeated practically all of the teams in the West, and recently trounced the Baltimore Athelmen in a 58-36 name. This game will be played with their opponents, the Harlem Big Five, on Washington's Birthday afternoon, February 22.

Extensive preparations have been completed to make this affair the outstanding one of its kind by Monarch Lodge No. 45 and, if we are to judge by past performances, the boys won't have any trouble succeeding in their present plans to make the night the real ziz. All the boxes have been sold, but reservation can still be secured, and those not already in possession of such would do well to act quickly, as this affair usually leaves Harlem like the desiried village. Mt. Tee Monarchs' Famous Band will also be out in full force, under the leadership of Lient. Fred W. Simpson.

Name Address Telephone Golden West Fighter Drops In Aid Rash Too Clever for DeSalvo in Feature Bout at the 27th Armory Aid Rash Too Clever for DeSalvo in Feature Bout at the 27th Armory White Boy Butted and Struck Harlemite Low and Was Booed — Colored and White Soldiers in Other Hectic Engagements on Last Friday Night Kid Rash, veteran scrapper from the 369th Infantry, was a little too clever for Nick DeSalvo. Corona's walloping Italian, in the main six-rounder at the 27th Division Train Armory last Friday night. Plenty of action in this scrap and an abundance of knockouts in the preliminaries sent the cash customers home satisfied. The strong finish of Rash earned him the verdict. The boxers each tipped the scale at 118 pounds. The fireworks started immediately in the first round. DeSalvo kept sticking in his right hand and then chopping it on Rash's neck, while Rash would shoot in the left and then follow it with a straight right. It was this way all through the round and near the finish a wild right almost spilled the colored boxer, but he managed to retain his equilibrium until the bell. The second and third were fast rounds, with two or three honest-to-goodness mixups in the center of the ring. Rash had a shade the better of these scrimmages and his left hand earned him the honors in these sessions. In the second round he gave hit Rash a questionable wahoo. The asshit representative claimed a foul, but the referee refused to allow it. Incensed because he had not won his claim of foul, Rash rushed into Nicky with both hands flying and sent the tough Corona of roping against the ropes. In the last round Rash opened up with all he had and breezed in the winner, although he had a tongue time of it every minute. Desalto fought roughly, hitting foul and butting with his head in the chinches. The crowd booed him loudly for these unfair tactics and were with Rash to a man at the finish. Mickey White, South Brooklyn lightweight, left handed his way to a decision over Tommy Kerakos of the hold Medical Corps in the seminal six-rounder. This was a hard fought, but uninteresting, bout, because of the frequent clinching of both men. White weighed 129, Kerakos, 137. White started off fast and was far ahead at the finish of the third session, but Tommy made a fast comback in the next frame and once had Mickey in grave danger of a knockout. He sent in a slightly right and followed it up with a left to the midriff. The 11th Regiment boy's knees crum- ble for a second, but he grabbed Tommy around the waist and closed his head. Kerakos, in his ankle to finish. Kerakos, in his wild and before he knew it Mickey had returned to first class condition again and was getting in that left hand steadily. Tommy King, boxer, hitting 224 Engineers' boxer, stopped Willie Banks, colored 36th battler, after one minute and 24 seconds of the second round of a scheduled six- rounder. King was too much for Banks, and banged him at will from start to finish. His right hand repeatedly found a resting place on Willie's rubber chin and Banks decided the canvas was better than facing King's joints. King weighed 139 lbs. Banks 154. Another colored scraper hit the dirt in the preceding scheduled WATCH FOR MURRAY'S KID RASH PROVES TOO MUCH FOR DE SALVO Salem Amateurs in Hectic Bouts Last Week skirrounder when Joe Rivers, of the 14th Regiment, proved a little too much for Eddie Boyer, of the 26th, after two minutes and 25 seconds of the fifth round. Rivers began his spurt from the third round on and it was a question of how long Eddie would last. Rivers was in at 138, three pounds heavier than Boyer. Frankie Norris, slam-bang 25th Infantry battler, knocked out Eddie Murphy, of Fort Hamilton, after two minutes and 25 seconds of the second round of the opening bout, scheduled for four sessions. SMITH GETS ANDERSON'S GOAT But Georgie Armstrong, Another Salem Man, Holds Up Harlem Club's End Brilliantly George Smith, Staten Island A. A. amateur boxer, last Wednesday night scored a brilliant victory over Jimmy Anderson, hard-hitting Salem-Crescent ringster, in the special 135-pound bout at the Sheridan Council, K. of C., clubhouse. Smith fought in sensational man- ner throughout, but met a tartar in the colored boy and only a last round spurt earned him the decision. The Staten Island towered over Anderson, but Jimmy and a build twice as wide as Smith. They presented an odd picture in the ring, but their looks belled them and they battled from the opening gong until the final bell with never a letup. George started right out after his opponent in the opening session, but was met with a terrific overhand right that spun him around on his heels. Enraged at this, Smith sailed into Jimmy with fists flying. Anderson was no slouch at slugging and they stood toe to toe in the center of the ring, with gloves going and coming from all angles. The round was open. In the second Anderson caught George with another of those overhand rights, and again Smith wasangered. He recalled against the ropes and the colored lad rushed after him, but was too anxious and unable to finish him. A wild left hook missed by a wide margin and Smith cleared his head. He was right back battling, and before the round was over was going at a fast pace. The slam-bung style continued in the last canto. First Smith and then Anderson would get in a corking shot, but they were so evenly matched that neither was able to finish the other. George was a little the stronger in the closing mix-ups and this probably influenced the officials in giving him the award. Arthur De Luca, of the Italian Settlement, battling in the 130-pound class, trounced Tommy Thomas, of the Salem-Crescent, in the preliminary, and won the final by default, when Dominick Nickol who injured his hand in his bout with Harry Goldberg was unable to go on with De Luca. For two sessions Thomas gave Arlie a tough time, but when the Settlement boxer opened up in the third frame he breezed in with the verdict. His right chop was too much for the colored scraper and Tommy staggered every time he felt it. Georgie Armstrong, another Salem-Crescent boxer, met with better success than his two club-maters when he was returned a double winner in the 118-pound class. In the preliminary, Georgie stopped Dan Kuralax, of the Sheridan Caseys, in two minutes and 12 seconds of the second round. He scored over Sammy Tobias, of the Hello There, Bill!

Kid Norfolk Brings in Jimmie Moore to See Us and, Incidentally, Let the World Know It Yes, sir, our old friend Kid Norfolk is still wearing a smile a yard long, for it is his belief that he has introduced to this part of the country another two-fisted fighter who is going to make good if they will only give him a real opportunity and not draw the color line as soon as he starts to knock the white boys coocoo. The Kid blew in the other night and with him came Jimmie Moore, who made good a few weeks back down at the Garden, and we want to say that Jim is as fine a youngster as ever came to these parts seeking static glory. Moore has engaged in sixty-five bouts, winning fifty-two, drawing a number and getting an even break in enough to overshadow the few he has lost. He expects to show in this part of the country at the Walker Athletic Club soon, with other rights to take place in Philadelphia and Boston. Moore was at one time under the management of George P. Moore, who piloted Danny Edwards, but he expects a release from the genial George in the near future. Moore must be a wise bird, for he has been travelling with Kid Norfolk over since he has been here, which shows that he is wise to the fact that he could not have teamed up with a better scout than the Kid.

Former Howard Athletic Star Now Mentor of P. S. A. L. Hopefuls Successfully Coaching Young Stars at Frederick Douglass High Here As a man's life is guided by his actions, so is the deathty of a team guided by its coach. To this fact may he attributed the success of the Frederick Douglass Junior High School athletics at the P. S. A. L. track and field championships in Brooklyn two weeks ago. For the first time in the history of the Public Schools Athletic League has a junior high school track team, consisting of all colored boys and manned by a colored coach, been the crown bearers of an indoor track championship. Yet how many of us are aware of the good work being carried on by the illustrations young coach of this sturdy outfit—Adolph Hodge? Judging from his athletic achievement, one would be inclined to imagine him of immense physical proportions, a slightly nervous temperament bordering on sophistication. However, a pleasant surprise awaits those nursing such a thought, for, compared with the popular notion of an athlete, he is almost diminutive. But a mere handshake will dispel all possible doubt as to his athletic capabilities. Like most great athletes, the Douglass school mentor is quite unobtrusive and unassuming—dodging publicity through sheer modesty. When asked if he would submit one of his pictures to be reprinted in the Amsterdam News, he strongly objected, but with becoming modesty he generously offered a substitute—the winning team. When asked the reason for his objection, the young coach modestly proffered that "the team won. . . Why should I get all the praise?" Though well qualified to fill a position as physical instructor in any of the senior high schools of this city, Mr. Hodge said: "I find more pleasure and co-operation among the youngsters of this com- Tom Anderson Mr. Anderson Is Now Principi at Coatesville, Pa.

He further stated that his greatest aim and hope lie in the desire of having "instilled in the mind of every youngerster the practice of fair play as a necessary element for clean sportsman- ship." In true Napoleonic fashion he said: "I'd rather see my school lose the title than have them subjected to accusations of foul play." Mr. Hodge received his early training at the high school in Norristown, Pa., the town from which AL BROWN WIRES RESULT Wherein He Knocked Out the French Champion, Mascart, in the Fifth Round in Paris The writer must have been thinking of Al Brown and Al Brown thinking of the writer last Tuesday night, for we ran the picture of this fine little fighter in our last issue and a few hours after closing the forms came a cable from Paris bringing the result of his fight with Edouard Mascart, the European featherweight champion. Just a few words from popular little AL, but they carried a world of sensational and welcome news to his large circle of friends who keep advised of his activities in Europe through the columns of this paper: "K. O. Mascard, five rounds. Al Brown." That was all AL said; but he was keeping his promise to The Amsterdam News and his host of friends. Before leaving these shores seeking new fields of conquest Al dropped in to say that he would keep in touch with things on this side through this paper and, whether winning or losing, he would immediately advise us of just how he fared. He has done this, and we have been able to give to coloured readers the exclusive accounts of one of the best boys that ever appeared in the prize ring in this country. Mascard did not have a chance with the fast-fighting Al in that engagement, as we learn through the Associated Press. The French boy was outclassed from the first bell up to the time he was knocked cold. Brown is now the lion of the boulevards in gay Pares and will be making a trip to London soon. We hope to hear of his further activities within the next few weeks and will immediately relay them to our readers.

HARLEM TEAM BEATS CARLTON Basketball Activities Going Forward With Great Strides at Brooklyn 'Y' 'On Saturday, Jan. 29, some of the Carlton Avenue basketball followers witnessed one of the fastest and most thrilling games of the season, when the Y. M. D. defeated the Brooklynites. The Hardenites, having lost to Carlton two successive seasons, came to Brooklyn with a determination to "take home the bacon." Score: 133th St., 16; Carlton, 15. Neither team hit its stride until the second half. Jefferyes and Riley of Harlem, Smith and Darden of Carlton, displayed excellent form in both offensive and defensive play. The Carlton Big Five will take the court on Feb. 15 with a clean state. A rather thrilling game is expected when they match tosses with the strong and fast Physical Culture Club of New York City. The Carlton Clubs, playing in the Y. M. C. A. League, will play the first game of the evening against the Greenpoint Jrs. The senior boys' team will visit Greenpoint on the same date. The various Sunday schools are putting up a stiff battle for the two trophies, which are to be given the winning teams in both the Junior and Senior leagues. Nazarene leads the Junior league, while Concord leads the Senior league. There are thrills "galore" every Tuesday night.

It was at this school that he first showed signs of his athletic prowess by gaining positions on the football, baseball, basketball and track teams. After graduating from that school he attended Howard University, where he became quite an athletic figure, receiving letters in four sports. In 1911 he captained the baseball team of his alma mater. Receiving his B. S. degree from Howard in 1913, he then took up studies at the University of Pennsylvania School of Coaching, graduating in 1915. Thence going to the Philadelphia School of Pedagogy for post-graduate work, he at the same time conchedd the track, football and baseball teams of the Quaker City institution. He was the first colored person to receive such a distinction at that school. The year of 1921 saw his exodus from his home state to this city, after teaching for a short time in the Philadelphia public school system. His activities in this vicinity have been lauded on several occasions and he holds the distinction of being one of the most popular persons among the youngsters of Harlem. However, his work is not only known locally but throughout the city. For more than two years he has been a member of the Games Committee of the P. S. A. L.

Real Democracy in Brooklyn Shown When Colored and White War Veterans and Their Wives Join Hands A real expression of democracy was made on Friday night, Jan. 28, when over 200 white Spanish War Veterans and their wives joined with an equal number of veterans of the Admiral Phillip Camp No. 18 of United Spanish War Veterans of the Department of New York, who were wounded in the American exercises with the Josette Philip Ladies' Auxiliary in parish house of St. Augustine's P. E. Church, Lafayette and Marcy avenues. This camp is the only one composed of colored men in the state. The installation exercises were very impressive and also very beautiful as the men and women took their cathays of office, amid a large number of American flags, and were escorted to their respective stations. Past Commander Patrick Garrity, white, of Astor Camp, No. 98, was the installing officer for the camp. Mrs. Harriet Cogger, also white, was the installing officer for the ladies. She is a member of the Lawton Ladies' Auxiliary. Both had teams who escorted the several officers to their stations. The officers were made in retiring officers, and to the installing officer, Mrs. King, past president, was presented with a jewel of her office by Mrs. Ida Henson, in behalf of the members of the Josefa Philip Ladies' Auxiliary. She also received a bonquet of flowers and other gifts. Past Department Commander William A. Dawkins and his staff were present. Mr. Dawkins delivered a very eloquent address and took occasion to compliment the camp and a World War II member of the camp and a World War II member of his valuable services to him in affairs pertaining to the Spanish War Veterans in this county. The present commander is James Miller, a Harlem business man, of 67 W. 134th street. He succeeds John Neal one of Brooklyn's best known citizens. He is a Federal Meat inspector. The officers are James Miller, commander Lennel Henson, senior vice commander; Roben len, junior vice commander; John S.

A. at least for five months before the death of Mr. Weir, will continue in charge of the concern.

He returned to the country after the war as a First Lieutenant with the 70th Illinois, which also boasted a number of other New Yorkers among the officers. Walthall strikes one as being all that Uncle Sam means when he tells his cadets at West Point to be a "soldier and a gentleman" to business and personal attention to business and to say nothing of the courtesies always found at his office, will mean a loss in helping this young man to build as successful a business as did William J.

It will also illustrate how detectives are sometimes called upon to pit their shrewdness against other detectives. The banker in question had left his wife and had ghost. The estate is about to be lost. Will the new generation now preparing for the stage of action possess the courage, the acumen and wise diplomacy to restore this rapidly vanishing political power? Or will it yield the struggle for want of courage and energy? Under the Federal Constitution, the Negro has every right of any other American citizen. Even the revised constitutions, on their face, are without racial discrimination. The plain fact remains that the Negro is politically indifferent. Senator Blease stated the other day on the floor of the Senate that the Negroes in South Carolina do not vote because they have no political interest. This is practically true of the Negroes in Harlem. Notwithstanding the numerous modes of persuasion, so well known to the politician, not more than one legal voter in five in Harlem can be persuaded to quality for that exited function. Can this new Negro arouse the masses to the vital importance of functioning in the formation and control of the government under which it lives and by which it will be controlled? This is the primary test of its capacity to cope with the situation by which it is confronted. For government is the controlling agency in society. Those who do not participate in formulating and directing the government will always be at the mercy of those who do. The fathers have built up and handed down a considerable property estate, mainly in the ownership of farm and city homes. Of the two the farm home is by ary Education, which rendered its report in 1924 under the direction of Dr. George M. Wiley of the New York Board of Regents, that the average age of colored students entering college was 22, while the average age for white students at the same period was 19. A clear difference of six years. Those who have never bothered to study the real conditions under which a student must obtain an education will perhaps not realize just what six years mean-in the life of the student. AGE AT GRADUATION DECIDING FACTOR IN Employing the above figures, it will be observed that, if the average colored student did not as late as 1920 finish his college work before the age of 29, then he could not possibly have finished his university and professional training before the age of 31. After then he must pass from two to three years preparing to enter the practice of his profession; he cannot possibly begin this practice before he has reached, and sometimes has passed his 4th year. This indicates that he must unless he be extremely fortunate, forego the matter of marriage and a family for at least five years, which means that in the most vital matter, that of reproducing himself, he must await the days in which his mental and physical vigor are at their lowest ebb. When it is realized that the chance for education of a child depends upon the economic, physical and social condition of the parents—especially the male parent—the importance of the age factor will perhaps be readily understood. A survey made by the writer of physicians, dentists, lawyers, undertakers, business men and other groups of high income discloses the following facts: That 31 physicians now practicing in Harlem finished their final medical training after they tures of taken an apartment in a four-apartment building in the neighborhood of Central Park and Fifty - seventh street.

The farm home is of the nature of productive capital; the city home is but dead, inert, unproductive wealth. The only real, worthwhile capital which the race has yet accumulated consists of the quarter of a million farms, out of which more than a million Negroes direct their own activities and earn an independent living.

But utter condemnation and generation There is grave danger that under the prevalent tendency of the newer generation the race is losing its grip on this great agricultural estate in its mad rush after the glare and glamour of city life. What is gained in the city by no means offsets the loss sustained in the country. Several months ago I contributed an article to the Baltimore Manufacturers Record, entitled, "The Farm—the Negro's Best Chance." If we take a comprehensive view of this wild rush cityward, we shall gain less racial comfort and satisfaction than we derive from first glance. We look in vain for the assuring indications that the race will reach the stage of economic and industrial self-sufficiently. It looks more likely that its permanent abiding place will be in the shade. The farm furnishes a place in the sun. It is up to the incoming generation to command the industrial and economic life of the race as well as its political fortune.

The average age at which the dentists finished their professional education was 31, and the average age at which they began the practice of their profession was 32. The business men showed a worse condition. Most of them said that they had had no particular education, and could fix no definite time at which they began their business career. The survey showed, however, that the average ages at which these last named prepared to raise a family was between 45 and 60. SOLORED HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS IN HARLEM COME FROM POOREST CLASSES. According to a survey undertaken by Mrs. Moses Newborn, chairman of the Greater New York Scholarship Committee of High School Students, there were 507 colored students in the high schools of New York City in the year 1928. Of these, 41 came from the homes of professional parents; 61 from the homes of business parents, and 405 came from the homes of tradesmen and domesticers. This means that the bulk of those students came from homes where they must suffer under the handicaps which are incident to such families. Take, for instance, the age factor in the equation. The average life of a domestic, according to N. R. Neifeld of Columbia University, in a report to the Committee of Admissions at the university, tends to close early. He declares that the domestic— Harlen AS TOLD TO watch him, the banker engaged other detectives to ward them off. And his suspicions were right, for, not only had the wife enlisted the services of a leading agency, but on its advice had taken an apartment on the opposite side of the street. at a rental of $760 a month. Here she would come each time the actress visited the banker, with her witnesses, and wait in the hope that a raid would be made that night.

Our fathers built up a vast religious estate, comprising thirty thousand churches and four million members. This is the most marvellous achievement recorded to the credit of the race. This vast religious estate was built up by comparatively illiterate men. But here it stands a monument to their zeal and consecration. Be it said to the utter condemnation of the second generation that they are abandoning this great religious estate. The great religious denominations form the only type of organization which Negro genius has built up and which holds vast numbers of the race to permanent adherence and persistent procedure. The race has never developed a political organization that has the binding force of a rope of sand or a coil of smoke. The industrial organizations function but feebly in the economic equation of racial life. Benevolent and fraternal organizations whose main concern is with the sick and the dead thrive more fluently. But after all that has been said that can be said, and all has been done that can be done, the outstanding fact remains that the Negro church is the one conspicuous concrete achievement on this continent. There are no Negro institutions in New York or Washington or Baltimore that stand out through the generations except the churches. There are several Negro churches in Harlem which cost a half million dollars. One searches the city in School washerwoman, porters, etc.-die at the age of 40 and 45, and that the industrial worker dies at the average age of 39. In the same report he says that the average life span of the professional man is 51. He holds, further, that the children of the domestic and industrial classes are at a decided disadvantage because of the fact that most of the deaths which occur in these classes are brought about by heart, lung, and blood diseases, which have their incipiency from the nature of their occupations, and which, in most cases, are transmitted to their children. THE HOME FACTOR IN THE EDUCATIONAL LIFE OF THE HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENT. There is another factor which exerts a great influence on the life of the high-school student—the factor of home help. This factor may be divided into (a) the instruction phase, and (b) the moral phase. In the case of the instruction phase, those children whose parents have themselves passed through the processes of education reap a decided advantage over those children whose parents have not had this advantage. In other words, all things being equal, the child who may find guidance in its studies from its parents will be in a better position to understand and to grasp the essentials of the work which it receives at the hands of the teacher in the schools. The child, when parplexed by a problem in algebra, may at any time call upon the experience and information of the instructed parent. On the other hand, the child whose parents have never gone farther than the graded schools finds no assistance in the home and is, consequently, forced to seek assistance from sources which have in the life of the colored high-school student proved dangerous to its moral and so- J.

For months the wife waited while detectives of the two agencies pitted their wits against each other.

The college-bred Negro of this generation is neglecting his superlative opportunity for serving his day and generation. Last June thirteen hundred Negroes were graduated from colleges and universities. I seriously doubt whether half a hundred of them sought the high places of moral and spiritual guidance of the masses. I am not uttering a word of despair. Somehow or other God always finds a way to look after His own. I have gone up and down this country from the Eastern to the Western as well as from the Northern to the Southern waters. I have spoken in Negro churches, and attended ministers' meetings in all parts of the land. I have been gratified beyond expectations to find that the greater-pulpits are filled by men of native intelligence, innate leadership and resourcefulness acquired in the main from the performance of their ministerial duties rather than from formal schooling. They that do shall know is a social as well as a sacred law. But this does not excuse the college Negro of the rising generation. For the most part they are seeking the sheltered and prepared places. The education of the race is mainly under control of the white race. They Student cial stability. The second factor, the moral phase, is very important. In order for a student to be impressed with the importance of the status which its high-school attendance confers upon it, it must take pride in the standing of its high school. It must have such association as will help to promote, and not to retard, its interest in its work. The writer has given close study to this matter and has come to the conclusion, because of the data at his disposal, that the average colored student (particularly girls) in the high schools suffer from the disadvantage of improper association. In 1926 there were heard in the Washington Heights counts seven cases in which certain immoral practices were involved in relation to colored high-school students, which compelled the presiding magistrates to direct that the girls consummate hasty marriages. From information received from two probation officers and from truant officers in the Harlem district comes the conclusion that the home conditions of the average colored high-school student in Harlem are abominable. HOME LIFE REFLECTED IN THE PROGRESS OF THE STUDENT An investigation by the writer in which he interviewed principals of high schools in which there were colored students disclosed the fact that the progress of the child in the schools was advanced or retarded, according as to whether the home conditions were "good," "bad," or "fair." A typical case which occurred at the Wedding High School was that of a girl student who had come from a home where the father had died. The mother was compelled to leave the home each day to work as a domestic; the girl was "fair" in her school work and was considered exemplary in everything but her con- wife's brother, a wealthy Chicago broker, had come to New York City to help her and was among the watchers. But night after night and no result; the banker with his lady love seemed as secure as a sultan in his serbia. At last the wife's detectives thought of Boulin and called him in. There was a colored elevatorman in the building, who would remain until about 1 a.m. after which he would lock up and go to his home in Harlem. Boulin's first step was to make the acquaintance of this man.

The Negro teacher needs mainly to fit into the program. This is a very necessary and essential function. No discredit can be attached to those educated women and men who render this important radial service. But they are shattered and shaded. They can do only what the white overlord authorizes them to do and say what he permits them to say. They cannot lead and direct the general life of the race. This must devolve upon men in independent positions who derive their support and authority from the people whom they serve. The minister speaks with the power and voice of the multitude whom he leads in righteousness. The voice of the Negro is expressed through the pulpit and the press, the two conspicuous organs of public opinion growing out of and resting upon the people for whom they speak. I suggest in our Greek Letter fraternities and sororities, too, in their local and grand assemblies, to give serious consideration to the claims of the ministry upon educated man. I wish also to caution the new nt in H Vast Majority of Col dents in New York the Poorer Classes Need Is for duct. After her second year in the school her attendance became irregular, especially during the morning sessions. Investigation by the school authorities disclosed the fact that she had intercepted certain communications which had been sent to the home informing the parent of the irregularity of attendance. Finally, the girl dragged behind in her studies and was not promoted. A major crisis occurred in which this girl had to be placed in the hands of the Children's Society. There it was disclosed that she had been seduced by a man who, being married and living apart from his wife, was a lodger in the apartment of the girl's mother and worked at night and was home during the days. This case is clearly typical of had home conditions. Another case was that of a girl who was considered "apt" by the instructors in the high school that she attended. This girl had permission to visit the home of another girl of her class who lived in a home in which conditions were called "had." The "apt" girl enjoyed home conditions which were considered model, and was only attracted to the second girl's home in order to enjoy the advantages which came from studying her lessons with the other girl. After the first year in school she was taken ill and an investigation disclosed the fact that the home of the other girl was infected with all sorts of vices, from gambling to prostitution. The girl had been taken ad- Holmes how it may not be said, but suf- sicient to say it was in a manner that aroused no suspicions. Soon the two became quite chummy. Boulin saying that he was valet for a rich bachelor, proof of which were the fine cigars and the good liquor he would bring along almost every evening. Of this good cheer he would urge the elevatorman to help himself, as it didn't cost him (Boulin) anything, and there was plenty more where that came from. The elevatorman decided that he had found a room to call. college generation that it is devoting too great a fraction of its energies to gaiety and frivolity. I have noticed the Negro doctors' convention, and from observation could not make certain whether it was a serious scientific gathering or an automobile show. The women in their merry frocks gather from all parts of the land enraptured with social festivities which all but drown the serious purpose of the gathering. Our fraternities and sororities are heading in the same direction. I believe in play in its proper place and proportion. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and Jenny a stupid girl. But excessive frivolity in the midst of the grave responsibilities impending upon the rising generation might indicate a lack of serious compassion of their duty to their race at this critical hour. No, I am not a possessor, nor a calamity howler. I would not discourage the young by belittling their achievements and attainments. But I deem it a solemn duty which the elder brother owes the younger to warn them against the danger of self-complaint satisfaction. Warlem Colored High School Stu- Schools Come From es of Homes----Great Better Homes vantage of by a man who was known in Harlem, as a notorious gambler and all-around bad man, and his conduct had been facilitated by the sumt of the second girl, who was an en-convict and "dope peddler." This shows that the home life of the high-school child should always be the most important concern of the parents, the community, and the school authorities. The main argument in all of this discourse is intended to point out the dangers which constantly confront the colored high-school students—girls and boys. The time has come when this matter of the quantity as well as the quality of the colored high-school student is of vital concern to the Harlem group. It is important that the child receive the major portion of its school work before the parents reach middle age. It is more important that the child shall graduate from the public or primary schools before its 16th birthday, as is the case at present in most cases. The child should well be on its high-school career at that age, for the problems which it must face in seeking an education are more easily faced while the parents are in the vigor of health and during their lifetime. If this is done, then the parents in the next generation most able to send their children to high school and colleges will be those who are economically and physically able to do most for their children during the formative years of their secondary education. Weeks went on. The two became chummier yet, Bonlin and he coming to Harlem together after work, while the banker's detectives outside, leary of every white face, hadn't the least suspicion that their cattle was being undermined from the inside. Bonlin would often make playful remarks to these detectives, as he went out. Each night, as was said, the elephantman would look at the SIXTEEN ment. Enter now two other Boulin detectives, more cigars and plenty more liquor! A jolly good time; the elevatorman pretty well soused, went to answer a plumbing his keys, holld. Boulin grabbed them and instructed his aides to ply the elevatorman with more liquor and with conversation in order to distract his attention from the keys; then he left on the pretence of getting some sandwiches. But once around the corner he took a taxi and new for a friend to make duplicates of the keys. Returning, the wife's detectives met another corner and received the duplicates, one of which was for the outer front door, another for the inner, and another for the banker's apartment. Returning with the sandwiches, Boulin soon after left with the party, unlocking the basement door for good luck. Seeing the tipsy elevator man safely home, he then returned to watch events from a distance. At about 3 a. m. the wife's party descended on the building, some going to the front door, while others darted through the masseuse, the first one immediately stopped by the detectives, while the others, protected by the ensuing altercation, quietly unlocked the banker's apartment and burst into his bedroom. Instantly the banker leaped out of bed with his revolver, crying: "I will shoot! I will shoot!" "You will have to shoot, then!" cried the leader of the wife's party, dryly, cooing him. Soon after the party left, the wife with evidence that got her an easy divorce. But Boulin had decided not to drop the elevatorman just yet. Appearances must be kept up. He visited him the following evening to find him a very sad man. He had been accused of leaving the basement door open and of being in league with the wife's detectives—and after being so kindly treated by the banker. He was loud in his prosecutions of innocence, swearing he had locked the door, as he had always been very careful to do. As to Boulin, though he went there several times after that, no one suspected him ADVENTURES IN AN Soon after the outbreak of the war in Europe, Boulin was called to investigate graft believed to exist in a large ammunition plant in New Jersey, which was making supplies for the Allies. It was suspected that a leak amounting to several thousands monthly existed in the commissary department, and in which the chef, the quinternmaster and other officers were involved. The plan was that Boulin should go to the commissary and try his luck in getting a job there. All the dishwashers and waiters, several hundreds in all, were colored. Tens of thousands of men, the great majority of them white, worked in the factory. But many Negroes held important positions, as they were regarded as being more loyal and more to be trusted than a white person. As will be seen later, precautions were fully justified. Arriving at the camp in a down-and-out appearance and a hard-huck story to match, late one evening Boulin said he had come from Detroit in search of work. But no help of any kind was wanted in the kitchen or dining-room. Since it was late and the last train had left, he begged permission to stay until morning, and was finally given a blanket in which he rolled himself up and went to sleep in the open air. Next morning brought better luck earlier, and he got a job as assistant dishwasher. Still further luck came his way that same day; he discovered that meat was being exchanged for liquor with folks on the outside. His instructions had been to work his way into the commissary and see what was going on there. Soon after he applied for a better job and, with some reluctance at losing such an obliged dishwasher, he was promoted to busman in the great dining-room, which seated more than a thousand persons at a time. Meals were being served almost all the time for the three shifts and he succeeded in getting on the night shift. Some time later he became promissory, more likely during which he became very busy with the chefs book, which was kept in a drawer in the kitchen, stealing it away in his room and copying everything there, after which he would send the copy into headquarters. Almost a year passed, during which he had struck up an acquaintance with a colored man who worked in the commissary. Good at figures and stenography. Boulin told this Negro that he would be glad to work free at stocktaking time, as it would be good training in helping him to get a job on the outside. Besides, it would be fine diversion, as he had plenty of time in the day, and nothing to do with it. The Negro told the quartermaster of the offer, and the latter gladly accepted. But, in the meantime, something happened. The camp was literally honeycombed with spies of the opposing Governments: English and French on one side and German and Austrian on the other. The United States had not yet gone into the war. Among the regulations strictly enforced in the camp was the use of mathews' pencils to procure the wood factory with the was heavily fined and discharged, a fact which made the war very careful about taking any with them on their way from any sleeping quarters to the dining-room, from which place they would go directly to the plant. But from sheer habit many like a smoke immediately after meals and Boulin, seeing an opportunity, nailed up a box filled with matches at the exit, from which smokers could help themselves. Each pay-day the box would carry the sign: "Remember the match-man," and many would drop in a coin. Among his regular patrons was a white man, who had taken a great fancy to him and had activated his acquaintances. He talked man about the war, telling Boulin that the colored people had nothing to do with the war, and that the latter were going to lose no matter which side won, all of which was a great shame and injustice. As time went on, however, this man showed by almost imperceptible degrees that he was on the German side, and on one occasion when asked by Boulin about another man with whom he had been asking, said the was — "good Englishman," and at another time, when he had been drinking heavily, he shouted: "Hoch der Kalser." Thereafter Boulin pretended to agree with him as to his statement that Germany was a better friend of the Negro than England, and one day the German suggested that he arm the ammunition plant and report to him, for which he would pay him well. Boulin pretended to be afraid to accept the offer, when builton the German spy, after saying sundry things about the timidity and conservatism of Negroes, urged him on, declaring that the Germans had been at that rate. He had evidently tried other colored employees and had failed. Still keeping up the acquaintance, however, Boulin conveyed the information to the heads of the plant through his own agency. Operatives were set at work. Boulin and other German and Austrian spies were duly discovered and discharged. But to return to our meals. Once in the commissary, Boulin began to copy down the figures there, also, with the result that it was eventually discovered that the chef, the quartermaster and dozens of others had been in collusion with those contracting for the foodstuffs. For instance, if seven thousand pounds of chicken had been ordered, only five thousand would be delivered, while the full amount would be signed for. This discrepancy was discovered when the chef's book was compared with that of the commissary. One fall day, almost a year and a half after Boulin had entered the camp, all the grafters were rounded up, faced with a complete evidence of their guilt, and marched off to fall. And speaking of chicken, Boulin says that he made one other discovery, namely, that white people simply don't like chicken! No, sir! They don't like to see it around, and are never happy until they have made it disappear, the quicker the better. THE IMOGENE WILSON-FRANK TINNEY AFFAIR. Among the duties of a private detective, as was said, is furnishing news-beats. A year or so ago, when imogene Wilson was about to sail for Europe with newspapers wanted information on the matter, but the reporters found all doors closed against them. Both parties had locked themselves away, and all the possible sources of information seemed tightly sealed. One paper, plued at the refusal, decided that it was going to get the information anyhow: further, it was going to record the exact time Miss Wilson went aboard. It was suspected that she would get aboard during the night, although the ship would not salt till midday. The ship's crew had been sent to rest; then it was learned that Tinney had a colored valet, and Boulin was called in. The suggestion was that he should try to get the news from the valet, but he had a better plan than that. Going to the pier he went up to the gateman and tipily inquired for Tinney's valet, saying that he was a friend of his and he had a party. Anxiously he inquired whether he had got here yet, as he had had to leave the party and had promised to met the valet there. One inquiry led to another, a conversation was soon started with the drunken but very good-natured Negro, who soon learned the exact hour Miss Wilson was expected. A telephone call to the newspaper office, a reporter was soon lurking in the vicinity and saw Miss Wilson enter by a side gate. Next morning the paper carried the exact time!

Schools, churches and social agencies will pause during the second week of February to invite attention to the long-neglected record of the Negro. This week, which covers the birthday of Lincoln and approaches that of Douglass, is a most appropriate occasion for this timely observance. Around the story of these great characters and others who have worked for the benefit of humanity and for the Negro in particular, the brilliant record of the Negro may be so dramatized as to inspire the Negro youth to noble deeds. To invite attention to the romantic story of the Negro, there have been engaged throughout the country numerous teachers, ministers, professional men, and leaders of business who will participate in various exercises held throughout the week. Public schools will use the hour of assembly for this purpose. City and State school authorities have set aside special days of this week and social uplift agencies will hold appropriate exercises in the evenings. scientific works on the Negro and pictures of distinguished men of the race, to urge everyone to write the Association all he knows about Negro family history and to send it any important documents bearing on the record of the Negro. The week is to be observed as a purely racial uplift effort. The Negro must either convince the world that he has a record as glorious as that of any The enthusiasm has decidedly increased since last year, when this celebration was held for the first time, and the preliminary reports from the field indicate that it will be in every sense of the word a national celebration. The people throughout the country have been called upon to do certain definite things. They are asked to organize the conference committees for the celebration.

They have failed, and will continue to fail. Now, they have applied the rule of divide and rule. On the other hand the voice of The Emancipator must not be silenced at any cost. A man who was once a member of the work force has been made to bring a civil suit against the Emancipator for $80 due him on notes, with interest and a reasonable attorney fee. Eighty dollars may be a small sum over there, but it is quite a sum to raise here under present economic conditions. This man's attorney is the Police which women work; an economy in government; a reduction in taxes; and a fostering of agriculture, commerce and industry through a beneficent policy of protection and a generous business enterprise." All this will make for greater contentment in every home." Mrs. Sabin deplores promotion of a feminine bloc in politics and finds effective expression of independence lies in party channels. Speaking of the situation in New York State, she says: "We shall endeavor to teach the woman who is prone to judge a candidate entirely upon his stand upon one some pet hobby of her own, that a man should be judged by his entire record. We shall continue to try to teach the woman who glories in splitting her ticket that the practical way to accomplish her own end is to learn to give her own way." There must be a meeting of minds and each person cannot always have her own way." social agencies will pause durbury to invite attention to the Negro.

The week is to be observed as a purely racial uplift effort. The Negro must either convince the world that he has a record as glorious as that of any other race or remain content with a fixed status of inferiority. The greatest scholars of today are saying that there is no such thing as race in science and that there is nothing in anthropology or psychology to support such myths as the inferiority and superiority of races. These truths, however, will have little bearing on the uplift of the Negro if they are left in the state of academic discussion. There must be an actual demonstration. The Negro must learn his past and publish it to this prejudiced world. PRESS OF AMERICA OTHSCILD FRANCIS am persecuted in the Virgin unchallenged by you.

Wednesday, February 2, 1927 Frederick Douglass SINCE FREDERICK DOUGLASS did not know the exact date in the month of February, 1817—one hundred and ten years ago that he was born, and since he died on the second day of the same month in 1895—thirty-two years ago today—it is entirely fitting that the day of his birth should be observed on the day he died. THIS YEAR our observance of the birth, life work and death of Douglass takes the form of the presentation, beginning elsewhere in this issue, of Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes' story of Douglass from her book, "Unsung Heroes." published several years ago—which, by the way, is a book that should be in every Negro home in which there are children. AND it is principally for the children and the younger men and women of the race that we are presenting the story of Douglass as written by Mrs. Haynes. In it she tells, in language anyone can understand, of his birth in slavery, his mother, his grandmother, his learning to read and write, his rebellion against slavery, his escape from it, his association with noted abolitionists and his connection with the anti-slavery society, his newspaper, the North Star, and the honors which came to him after the Civil War. ESPECIALLY at this time, when real honest, unselfish Negro leadership is at its lowest ebb, it would be a good thing for grown-ups, and above all else so-called and would-be leaders, to reread the life of one of the greatest statesmen America has produced up to the present time. A BILL has been prepared at direction of Alfred N. Phillips Jr., millionaire Mayor of Stamford, and will be introduced in the Connecticut General Assembly by Representative Mrs. Julia M. Emery, of Stamford, to re-establish the whipping post. THE BILL provides a minimum of five lashes and a maximum of thirty for any man who shall assault, strike or beat his wife or mother or shall be guilty of cruel and inhumane treatment of his children. The whipping posts would be in or near the jail or workhouse yard of each county. A WIFE who refuses to live in the apartment of her husband may be evicted by him, if he happens to be the landlord, the Appellate Division ruled. STATE Senator Butler, of Tennessee, author of the anti-evolution laws of that State, has come into the limelight again with an anti-gossip bill. EDITORIAL PAGE "WE DO NOT FIND that sufficient evidence has come before us to warrant us to ask for indictments." WITH THESE WORDS the Aiken County Grand Jury concluded its official investigation of the lynching of Demon, Bertha and Clarence Lowman last October 8. This jury had been instructed by the Judge that no more than "a probable case, a prima facie case," was needed for them to bring an indictment. Yet, to their minds the names of the lynchers and the part each played in the atrocities as submitted to ex-Governor Thomas G. McLeod by Walter White, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, after a careful investigation on the spot; the additional investigation and expose made by a correspondent of the New York World; the evidence secured by Constable W. W. Rogers and additional evidence that was its for the asking, did not constitute "a probable case." THIS LEADS to the query as to what constitutes a probable case in the minds of a South Carolina Grand Jury? There was an abundance of evidence—enough to hang a score and more colored people if the victims had been white and the lynchers colored. The murders were premeditated. There was no other provocation than that the lynchers feared that the three Lowmans would get the justice that had been denied them. THE NEW YORK WORLD, a daily newspaper which professes to "fight for progress and reform," and is "never afraid to attack wrong," went to a great expense to expose the Aiken lynchings. At the same time The World is opposed to the passage of a Federal anti-lynching bill. Again, we ask The World what remedy would it suggest as a cure for lynching when a Grand Jury with evidence in its possession secured by its own correspondent refuses to act? ANOTHER great New York daily newspaper—The Times—in its news columns, dismisses the Aiken atrocities in the following words, which appeared at the bottom of the column on the last page: Aiken Jury Fails to Indict Lynchers. Aiken, S. C., Jan. 28 (A.P.)—The Aiken County Grand Jury investigating the lynching of the three lawman negroes reported late today that it did not find sufficient evidence had been presented to it to warrant any indictments. HIS LEADS us to conclude that editors of The Times the ly, not the injustice done, nor graceful action of the Grand Institute "all the news that's f." THIS LEADS us to conclude that to the editors of The Times the lynchings, not the injustice done, nor the disgraceful action of the Grand Jury, constitute "all the news that's fit to print." EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES Lynch Law in South Carolina (From the New York World.) The Grand Jury of Alken County, S. C., reports that it finds the evidence submitted concerning the lynch-law murder last October of Clarence, Demon and Bartha Lowman, Negroes, insufficient to warrant indictments. The perpetrators are well known in the community. The finding of the Alken Grand Jury simply upholds lynch law in defiance of the known facts. Gov. Richards is fortunately alive to the miracle upon the honor of the State left by the Alken County mob. "There can be," he says, "no justification of lynch law, I care not what the offense." The lyncher "attains at the very foundation of our civilization." Gov. Richards is not through with the case: The Alken lynching, which the evidence shows was the act of a very small group of men, is one of the most bestial that has happened in our State. I promised in my inaugural address that I would stand for the majority of the law. I meant what I said. I promise the people of South Carolina that if it lies in my power the Alken lynchers shall be brought to justice. Alken County's shame has attracted the attention of the whole country. Orderly and law-abiding citizens everywhere will hope that Gov. Richards' arm may prove long enough and strong enough to grasp and punish the murderers. London to Moscow I AM leaving London for Moscow, via Belgium, Germany and Poland, Ostend, Berlin and Warsaw. Before leaving London I strolled again through the British Museum. Looking at the great granite and basaltic statues, which the Pharaohs and the kings of the Mesopotamian Valley countries made their subjects carve out for them, gives one the idea that human nature has not changed indeed: for the old Ban-i-Pals and Ankh-Amens burdened and broke the backs of their people by making them build temples, pyramids and great flattering statues of their rulers, carved in the side of mountains, with hands as large as barrels, arms like sower pipes and fists like beer kegs. But the modern kings of the world, while they may care a little less for flattering statuary to themselves and the gods, break the backs of the people to build banks, railroads and giant "works." What is the difference? What matters it how a back is broken? On a Sunday afternoon I stopped by the Marble Arch at the entrance to Hyde Park to hear the soap-boxers. Of course they do not use soap boxes but rather stand in most cases like those used by the street-corner orators on Seventh avenue in New York City. But the point is they use what they please and say what they please. They are arrest people in New York for saying what one may hear at the Hyde Park gates freely stolen. In New Jersey a fellow would be accused of seven years for a speech for which no one at the Arch has hardly gets noticed. The police are buys directing traffic nearby and pay no attention to the speeches. When they hear that a fellow is dangerous plainclothes men may be present to try to get a face on what he aims at, but they do not interfere. All religions, all politics and all philanthropies are there—just talking their derelict. I saw within a few hundred-foot line facing their various voluntary groups the following organizations and many others: The Indian Home Rule League, where the brown Hindus tell their side; the Primrose League, a conservative party organization, which conceals itself under that name in order to get a hearing in this strange audience; the miners; the Salvation Army; the Protestant Alliance; the Catholic Evidence Guild; the Christadelphian Missions, whatever that is, and so on. In short, a fellow can get whatever he wants here, unhindered. Therefore, he puts less value on it. He can say whatever he pleases right out in public. Therefore he says it less violently in public and says it not at all under cover. At the Marble Arch he can have all the treasures he treasures. Therefore he has less interest in treason. The British are shrewd coworkers. When I wrote the last sentence above I was in England—and now it is about six days later and I am just leaving Warsaw, Poland, on way to Moscow. I have had six months many times in life without one-sixth of the experiences of these last six days. Getting a little Belgian and German money in London, I came down to Dover, rushed to Ostend in four and one-half hours, a passage worse than four and a half days on the Atlantic. They say that if crossing the English Channel does not make you sick, nothingMany were well. I felt as proud as Gustave Euler because I did not make sick, but I had to keep quiet to avoid. It. Then on by train from Ostend via Brussels and Cologne to Berlin, about twenty-seven hours from London. After two days in Berlin I received word from good American friends in Dresden to come and spend a German Christmas. Eve and Christmas Day with them and their family before going on to Russia. A German Christmas, and in Dresden, with the Stirling Madonna and all the lesser Madonna, to see again in the Dresden Art Galleries, with Tracy and Nira. Strong of the United States and Geneva, with Anna Louise Strong of the United States and Russia, and, best of all, the three Strong Kids, Robbins, Tracy, Jr., and Ruth. What a Christmas Eve and Christmas Eve with the tree, the nativity the totoo, and the all jumping joy of the children, which took me almost home again for forty-eight hours! In Dresden I made my first extemporaneous speech in German, at the Christmas Eve dinner for the Y. M. C. A., where J. those who have no definite homes are entertained. The need of the Dresden Y. M. C. A. is Hirr von Prosch, who was a chum of the Saxony crown prince, a prisoner of war, and one who has accepted democratic Germany and gone to work with all his might. We met also Princess Ada von Krusenstjerna (not to burden you with the rest of her pre-war name), whose daughter is now Prun von Prosch. Dresden is full of refugees from East Prussia and Russia, some of them former princes of empires. How many languages a European must learn in order to live. A Dutch child has to learn to speak English. French and German as well as Dutch, for Holland is such a little place, that if one spoke only the language of Holland he might as well be in jail for life. He could not travel comfortably for half a day. And there are the prejudices left by the war, Poles hate Russians and Germans, hating Germans a bit less perhaps. Belgians are still unforgiving toward Germans. It is interesting to a black man to be in a territory where the white folks hate each other and not him. On the train from Ostend toward Brussels two persons wanted my company at aln- Roland Hayes at His Best In his second Carnegie Hall recital of the season last Wednesday evening, in which he sang for the benefit of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Club, Roland Hayes was at his best; that is, if there is ever a time when this remarkable tenor singer is not at his best. There was such an unprecedented demand for tickets that many who wanted to hear him had to be turned away, but not, however, until all available seating on the stage itself had been sold. And Hayes—the consummate artist—sang, seemingly, as he never sang before. Not since his first recital in Town Hall, following the return from his memorable first trip abroad, has he breathed so much feeling into his songs, which is saying a great deal, considering his success during the interrening years. In addition to the program printed week before last, Hayes sang the usual encores at the conclusion of each group of songs, one of which was a musical setting of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's poem, "Dawn." He was also forced to encore Debussy's "Mandoline," so spontaneous was the applause that greeted its first rendition. Of the recital, daily newspaper musical critics wrote, in part, as follows: Sun—"One of the season's finest lessons on the art of singing was given by Roland Hayes, the Negro tenor, in Carnegie Hall last evening. One can name on one hand the vocal artists who appear in these environs and display a fine, sure mastery of their medium—the human voice. Mr. Hayes is one of them. "The Wolf lieder were exquisitely sung. To this recorder the triumph of the opening was the aristocracy of style, the finely drawn subtle emotional coloring infused in the French group. Modulation, enunciation, phrasing, breath control—all revealed the consummate artistry of this singer." C. H. N. Journal—In the recent general excitement that has occurred over Negro spirituals, with all and sundry taking a whack at them in public concerts, there is the temptation to forget that the whole furore was in large part given its first impetus by Roland Hayes, the Negro tenor from Tennessee, Boston and Berlin. And it was his singing of these folksongs that revealed to most people for the first time their poignancy of feeling, their innate humor and often the ant- LETTERS ner—a fat German and a young Belgian. I did not realise the embarrassing situation until, after deciding in favor of the Belgian because the German had another companion, I was told by the Belgian: "You see, he is German, and I did not want to eat with him." I had been wondering why we could not all three take one of the larger tables. Even the porters on the trains must learn several languages. How simple it is when several languages are used in every area and direction. One see: "In can des tirer tirer tiran." Then master that: "Bel Gefahr, and den Ring Zielen." Then "in caso di Pericolo, il truro 'anello,' and in English: "in case of emergency, pull the langle (or rung)." A day further on northwest and both Polish and Russian share in the company of languages, giving the simplest direction to travelers. Thus every signboard becomes a key, a sort of Rosetta Stone to the interpretation of European languages. Journeying in this great flat country, northeast of Warsaw, gives me the feeling of traversing the wide reaches of America west of the Mississippi River. it is now 2 p.m., just as if we were in New York City, if we were in the city we would reach Moscow tomorrow at 3 p.m. but we are already about two hours late. Practically every tree along this route seems to be an evergreen—perhaps the only tree that can survive the steady winter here, for they are all glazed in ice today. The most impressive thing of the last few days is the apparent economic comeback of Germany. The Germans will continue to be one of the world's greatest peoples. If France really wanted to punish Germany in that Versailles Treaty she should have, instead of relieving Germany of the possibility of carrying military burdens, made it the law that Germany would have to carry an army of half a million for the next forty years following the treaty. Stripping Germany of her military handicaps was throwing Breyer Rabbit in the Briar Patch. near and beauty of their melody. Times—"Roland Hayes, the American Negro singer of European classics as well as his native "spirituals" sang his artistic host for the Soldiers' and Nailmen' Club benefit that sold out Carnegie Hall last night. He also sang to the tune of $6,000 receipts." World—Two songs of Hugo Wolf exquisitely sung by Roland Hayes, accounted the second recital of this fine tenor in Carnegie Hall last night. It was a distinctive program throughout." We turn now to William Lawrence. Hayes' acquaintance, who shares, not a little bit, in the singer's artistic success.

Elliott Rawlins, M.D. Light Treatment THE application of light cure disease is become physician in his ability adviser. The three forms of light light, radiant light, and ultr THE application of light to protect health, prevent and cure disease is becoming an important aid to the physician in his ability to treat disease and as health adviser. The three forms of light now used are ordinary sunlight, radiant light, and ultra-violet light. There are light vibrations which the human eye cannot see, but whose physical effects are tremendous. These invisible light vibrations are at both ends of the spectrum. At one end of the visible light spectrum are Nertzian light waves. These are very long waves with slow vibrations. These are the light vibrations concerned in wireless transmission. Next along the invisible spectrum are the infra-red rays. These are the burning rays, they are quite long, penetrating and heating in their effects. and organic matter, which prevent these ultra-violet rays from coming through. Because of this, the most common way now employed to bring these rays in contact with the human body is by means of an artificial electric light. Two methods of light treatments are now used: The radiant light treatment and the invisible light treatment, the most important being the latter, with its ultraviolet rays. The ultra-violet rays are developed through either a quartz lamp or a Finsen are Next comes the rays that the human eye can see. We call these the visible spectrum; the rays give different colors ranging through red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Below, at the other end of the spectrum, we find the ultra-violet radiations. We find these in illuminated sunlight, and also in artificial light derived from electric light. The electric light may come through a quartz lamp, or a Finsen are light. It is these invisible rays that are important in the treatment of diseases or in their prevention. The invisible rays are in sunlight. God's sunshine, but they are short rays and there are many obstacles in the atmosphere, such as moisture, dust sematically reduced to writing and all text books are to be both in English and the native tongue. A brilliant native scholar. Professor J. E. K. Aggrey, is vice- principal of the university. Dr. Aggrey is chief of the Fanti tribe.

With Evolution Bill COLUMBIA, R. C. Jan. 26—An Anti-Evolution Bill was introduced in the South Carolina Legislature last week by Representative W. P. Mason of Oconee. The measure would make it unlawful, in any educational institution receiving public funds, "to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine creation of man as taught in the Bible or to teach instead that man has descended from the lower order of animals." It provided penalties of $100 to $200 fine or one to six months' imprisonment for violation, as well as forfeiture of all pay due and the future right to teach in South Carolina 1 --- S. C.

Because of this, the most common way now employed to bring these rays in contact with the human body is by means of an artificial electric light. Two methods of light treatments are now used: The radiant light treatment and the invisible light treatment, the most important being the latter, with its ultraviolet rays. The ultraviolet rays are developed through either a quartz lamp or a Finsen are light. These rays penetrate the skin to the depth of from one half to one inch. The rays which come from an air-cooled lamp are the longer ultraviolet rays. They are extremely penetrating and are absorbed into the tissues in greater amounts. Their effect on the body actions, both chemical and physiological, is considerable. From the water-cooled lamps we get a larger proportion of the ultra-violet rays. These rays are the most germicidal. These forms of invisible ultra-violet rays are now being used very successfully in the treatment of tuberculosis, rickets, skin diseases, other infectious diseases and other constitutional diseases. It is helping human beings to be stronger and more efficient.

Sometime at Eve SOMETIME it eve, when the tide is low. I shall slip my moorings and call away. With an response to the friendly half. Of kindred craft in the busy bay. In the silent lush of the twilight pale. When the night stoops down to embrace the day. Sometimes at eve, when the tide is low. And the vane call in the waters flow. I shall slip my moorings and call away. Through the purplling shadows that darkly trail O'er the ebbing tide of the Unknown Sea. I shall fare me away with dip of sail. And a ripple of water to tell the tale Of a lonely voyager sailing away To the Mystic lake, where at anchor lay The crafts of those who have sailed before O'er the Unknown Sea to the Unknown Shore. A few who have watched me sail away Will miss my craft from the busy bay; Some friendly hurques that were anchored near. Some loving souls that must art held dear In silent sorrow will drop a tear— But I will have peacefully furled my sail In moorings sheltered from storm or pale. And greeted the friends who have sailed before O'er the Unknown Sea to the Unknown Shore. —GEORGE L. FORREST. ---
