PASTOR WINS CHURCH ROW HIDES UNDER WOMAN'S BED Colorful News "Movies" By THE CAMERAMAN PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Come Home, Brother! "BROTHER" RICHARD MOORE, erstwhile Harlemite, a courageous and well-qualified young man, has journeyed to Europe, where he is lecturing upon American "imperialism" and "home" treatment of the Negro in the good old U.S.A. In Brussels, Belgium, Moore is reported as presenting a resolution anent the Negroes in the United States, who are having their difficulties in securing the full benefits of the Constitution. While Truth is the light, and it is good to place evidence of neglect before the nations of the world, yet we think it is a little better to grind the grist of freedom right here at home. Just as charity begins at home, so does reform. Belgium and many of its sister countries of Europe are largely dependent upon America for commodities of necessity. Even robust England imports nearly one-twelfth of its supplies from Uncle Sam. Europe cannot initiate much of a protest against objectionable features of citizenship here as long as such a dependency exists. The theory is unsound, politically and economically. On the other hand, there are so many of us here, and so few of us "over there" that it's like plantation a grain of mustard seed upon a forty-acre lot to go to Europe and to reform America. Better come home, Brother (Continued on Page 2.)

DID DENTIST PRACTICE PROFESSION AFTER 12 OR MAKE LOVE? That's the Question Supreme Court Will Have to Decide When Morse Vs. Morse Divorce Action Is Heard Whether a popular dentist was performing his dental duties in his unlit office on Mrs. Ethel Morse of 225 West 140th street late Saturday night, or to be more exact, at 12:15 a.m. Sunday morning, is the question to be decided by the Supreme Court. For the time being, however, Mr. De Witt Morse, a Post Office clerk, and the husband of Mrs. Morse, of 522 East 143d street, said that he is of a different opinion. To back up his views, he alleged that on the morning in question he, accompanied by detectives from the Boulin's Agency and several witnesses, raided the doctor's office. Mr. Morse claimed that when the raiding party arrived on the scene, the doctor's office was darkened and the door locked. He further stated that the door was unlocked by the doctor only after the detectives had used a ruse, and when they entered they found Mrs. Morse and the doctor in the unlighted room. He further claimed that the doctor refused to turn the light on after several requests were made by the detectives, who were obliged to use powerful search lights. Mr. Morse through detectives says he had been keeping wife under observation for some time, and on many occasions they reported to him of seeing Mrs. Morse and the doctor out together. He stated that from the reports of the private sleuths, the doctor has been seen as far back as last summer making violent love to Mrs. Morse in the vestibule of 225 West 140th street, while bidding her good-bye in the early hours of the morning. Papers, he says, in a suit for absolute divorce against Mrs. Morse, naming the doctor as co-respondent, were served yesterday. He also plans instituting a $10.000 alienation suit. The Morses were married in March, 1920. They have a 4-year-old boy, who lives with the mother. They were separated in 1921 while they were living at the 140th street address. She took him to the family court in the same year and was given $10 per week for the support of the child.

It is claimed that on the night of December 29, 1926, Green forced little Vivian Lymas, 13, 144 West 139th street, to go with him to a room at 206 West 140th street, where he took advantage of her. Green was arrested Saturday. 15-Year-Old Boy May Face Murder Lad of Same Age in Hospital Condition Serious The charge of murder will be placed against a 15-year-old boy if Oscar Murriel, 22, 68 West 138th street, dies. Murriel now lies in Harlem Hospital at the point of death with his stomach ripped open and a long knife wound in his kidneys. It is claimed that Murriel engaged in an altercation with Clifton Briggs, 15, 14 West 134th street, at 6 o'clock Friday night in the hallway of the latter's address, and that Briggs dangerously stabbed Murriel. Briggs was arrested and brought to the police station accompanied by his mother, Aleda Briggs, 29, who also had a long cut on her left wrist. Mrs. Briggs is said to have received the wound in attempting to part the two. Clifton was turned over to Children's Court. Dr. Schwartz of the hospital claims Murriel's chances of living are slight.

J. was reduced to $7 per week. A separation suit against him and obtaining $10 per week as temporary alimony, pending the outcome of the suit, was instituted in 1924, and she was finally awarded $15 per week alimony. In 1924, while the separation suit was pending, Mr. Morse avers that he started a suit for absolute divorce, naming George Jones as co-respondent. He was unsuccessful in his action, owing he says to the neglect of case by his attorney. Ex-Alderman John William Smith of 26 Cortlandt street is his attorney in the present action.

ETTA WILLIAMS WINS CASE TWO Atty. Wetmore in Stirring Plea Atty. Wetmore in Stirring Plea (Continued from Page 1.) fifth and sixth questions, that the jury must answer "no" to these questions, but that evidence had been introduced tending to show that the defendant committed adultery with William Blekly on Sunday, Dec. 27, 1925, at No. 40 West 127th street, and that if the jury credited the evidence, its answer should be "yes," and that if they did not believe the testimony of the plaintiff's witness, their answer should be "no." The jury by its verdict did not believe the evidence. When the attorney for the plaintiff was making his closing argument he said several things that displeased Mr. Wetmore, who interrupted him several times, and was finally admonished by the judge that when the trial was over, he—the judge—would take care of Mr. Wetmore. As soon as the jury retired to consider the case Judge McCook called Mr. Wetmore before him and said, "Now, Mr. Wetmore, what have you to say why you should not be punished for contempt for repeatedly disobeying the court and continuing to talk when you were told to keep still." ATTORNEY APOLOGIZES. Mr. Wetmore replied: "Your Honor, I did not mean to be courteous to the court, but I was very deeply interested in this case from a personal standpoint because I have known this defendant since she was a baby in her mother's arms. Her mother and father were life-long friends of mine. "When I first began practicing law in Jacksonville, Fla., my former home, her father was pastor of one of the largest churches there, and when I was first admitted to the bar, he did everything he could to help me secure clients; so when his daughter came to my office in tears because she had been accused of adultery. I immediately told her that irrespective of whether she had any money or not, as she was the daughter of old friends of mine. I would do all I could for her. "I have never worked harder on any case I had in my office than I have on this one, and if, in my desire to help this young woman, I have overstepped the bounds of propriety, I ask Your Honor to forgive me." The explanation was accepted by the court. "A colored woman of the type of this defendant," Mr. Wetmore told the jury in his summation, "whose parents were educated Christian people, and who is educated herself, has as fine sensibilities as any white woman, and I want to impress upon you that Mrs. Williams is as jealous of her reputation as Mrs. Vanderbilt is, or any woman of the 400," and I want you, when you go into the jury room, to consider this fact: to forget, if possible, this young woman's race, and remember that, after all, human nature is the same in different races, and that a colored woman has as high a regard for virtue and chastity as a white woman of similar strata in society."

Bellefonte, Pa., Feb. 28.—Francis Webb and Max Amos Wilson were electrocuted in the Western Penitentiary at Rockview today for the slaving of Walter Harden, white, at Chester, Pa., last September.

Invents Improved Loud Speaker Louder Volume and Clearer Reception Claimed for New Apparatus A radio loud speaker of louder and clearer volume and reception is an invention that Haywood A. Morton, 117 West 127th street, claims to have made. The speaker is encased in a special cabinet standing over three feet high which easily might be considered one of the pieces of furniture in the parlor. Mr. Morton's experimental product is more or less domestically constructed, but he hopes to see the device in cabinets specially designed and constructed by craftsmen. It is thirty-eight inches tall and the same number wide. Its depth is fifteen inches. The cone in the front, from which the strains of music float as if escaping from the instruments of musicians in the listeners' presence. is thirty-five inches in diameter. "I got an idea that, if a small speaker gave a small volume of tone," said the inventor in explaining why he set about the task, "then a large one naturally should give a bigger volume. The larger ones I had heard did not satisfy my taste, so I thought I could improve upon them, giving a louder reproduction with a clearer tone." Mr. Morton became a radio fan about six months ago, when he entered one of the radio classes in the Y. M. C. A. Trade School, located at Lexington avenue and Eighty-sixth street. He attended these classes four months. He has not disclosed the secret of his invention even to his wife, who is his counsel and adviser in all of his endeavors.

Election Backfire LAST November's Pennsylvania election has back-fired and the clearing smoke has revealed three Negro election officials who have been convicted of election frauds. Two others were acquitted after vigorous trials. The trial showed that the convicted men had a willfully bad memory in counting the Vare-Wilson ballots in one of the Philadelphia districts. The trial evidence did not show, of course, who gave the orders for the fraud, and the "higher-ups," as usual, will continue to bask in the noonday sun, while the "goats" straightaway will be awarded a one-way ticket to jail.

Taking the country as a whole, Negroes are only fingering a small proportion of the ballots which should pass through their hands on election days; and when they do get the chance to fiddle the ballot they should do so in good conscience and honesty, regardless of what orders ward bosses may give. Through fraud and deception the "brethren" of Dixie are kept away from the polls; and the "brethren" of the North, who are far more fortunate, should hold up the danger signal when the attempt is made to evolve them from honest voters into "catspaws." Cheating the Public NO SECTION of this country is immune from the growing germ of prejudice and race hatred. This most contagious disease, though first germinated in the South, has been disseminated throughout the whole United States. Even the West, with its broad vision of freedom and liberty, has been stricken with this malicious malady. Portland, Oregon, has become in- fected and a poor little Negro boy was denied access to a skating rink only because of his color. He had to suffer the extreme humiliation of being asked off the rink in the presence of his classmates. Every dark cloud has a silver lining. These same classmates became indignant at this treatment of their companion and left the skating rink with the praise and approval of the school superintendent. The manager of the rink expressed his "sorrow" at the occurrence. but stated that as the rink was for the "general public" he had to abide by the regulation. Negroes no longer help to make up the "general public." This is certainly a new phase of the Negro problem. N. Y.

Feb. 28 (By the Associated Negro Press). — The local public here in St. Louis. as well as observ- ers generally throughout the country. now that the first thrills of the Malone divorce and partition suit have sub- sided. are beginning to delve somewhat into the back- ground of the famous case. Pending the hearing in Judge Hartman's court on March 21 to decide whether the temporary re- ceivershfp shall be made perma- nent, onlookers are contenting themselves with conjectures re. gardiug the attitude of Aaron Ma- lone, the complainant. Sonie there are who thought that, even after the sult was filed und 2 receiver appointed, Malone IS PMS oo ol ae RCSA ie PMS cco oS eee or ee Ex g = see ee Bak eS iS tse Se Ses i Rae Oe RE SS Bee eee — Harry H. Pace — would retreat from his disastrous stand, because of the tremendous damage and loss he could then see that court proceedings and the re- ceivership would naturally entail. The white temporary receiver and bis assistants, who are also white, will draw down 2 big, juley percentage of the income of Poro for the short time they are in charge, although there has been nothing for them to do save to keep tab on the receipts. Disburse- ments have been held down to the minimum. ‘Mr, Malone, who has deen in Dloriia for the past ten days hob- nobbing with the bishops and min- Isters of the A. M. E. Church, at- tending the Bishops’ Council’ at Jacksonville, has been adamant when approgched by those inter- ested in encouraging settlement of the sult. Some attribute to him a “have it or break it up” attitude. Others think he has a contract with his lawyers whereby he can- not turn back and which even pre vented his accepting the settle. ment which his wife and her law- yers offered in order to avoid alr. ing the case in the courts.

Often, without considering seriously the general running expenses involved in making "two live as cheaply as one," many couples marry. Then comes the break! Bills? Food, rent, clothes, doctor's fees, shows, a few other necessities and luxuries, have to be paid for. There may be an unexpected decrease in the family income - who knows? The day of the Fairy Godmother has passed. "The rich uncle" may not die at just the right time to benefit the needy couple, or the kind-hearted mother and father may not be in a position to offer financial aid. It is during such a crisis that the $1,000 in the bank — or the invested sum — may help tide things over. The first $1,000, by the way, is the hardest to get. This bill, if passed, may stop many a hasty marriage and be a temporary solution for some of the many economic and social problems of present day society.—T. E. B.

HAIR DRESS HAIR DRESSING CREAM By EGYPSY ANN Daily we are beset by problems, big ones and little ones. We want to confide in others but many of us feel that we do not wish to take up our friends' time by telling them our troubles. We may be afraid to place our trust in them. As many people as there are in Greater New York, there are many who have no one in whom to confide. I shall earnestly devote my time to the difficulties of these, no matter who they may be. I may not always succeed in solving their problems but I will do my best. Sincerely. Egypsy Ann. Address your letters to Egypsy Ann, Care The Amsterdam News, 2293 Seventh avenue, New York City. "He Loves Me. He Loves Me Not." "He says he loves me and is always thinking of me," says the girl. "but somehow I'm not sure whether it's the qualities in me or the physical me." she continues. Girl, study his actions. Say to yourself. "Look here, I've got more sense than to go around in a dream with my eyes shut, taking things as they come." Ask yourself: Is he considerate of my feelings? Does he cause me to cry or feel blue by his actions? Does he keep his appointments, and does he notify me beforehand if he can't keep them? In other words, does he place his feelings before mine or mine before his? Don't take much stock in what a man says. Listen, but listen lightly. Judge by what he does. I shall be glad to receive letters from my readers, telling me how they discovered whether HE loved them or loved them not. WEDDINGS DeSHIELDS—LEE. Miss Rose E.

Though styles change, the few simple rules of tasteful dress never vary. And girls and girls will show you how they follow the rules I am now glad to give you. Certainly a tall girl should never, never wear clothes that make her look taller, she should avoid sturges, and instead, wear ruffled and wrapped apparel. On the contrary the real short, or plump girl should avoid what is becoming to the height of her body in clothing and height, so the girl of small stature should remember this waven designing or burnt, her clothes.

People who suffer from indigestion usually have tried peppin, charcoal, drugs and various digestive aids and know these thieves will not cure their trouble—in some cases do not even suffer. But before giving up to chronic dyspepsia, just try the effect of a little illuminated Magnesium—not the ordinary commercial carbonate, citrate or maltodextrine. You may obtain from practically any drugstreet in either powder or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder or a teaspoonful of tablets with a little water after your next meal, and see what a difference this makes.

Judge Panken in urging all porters and maids to join the Brotherhood said that the only argument that the Pullman Company would be inclined to listen to would be force of demand brought about by unionization. To Work Way Up in Banking Line "If," he said, "it takes a strike to teach the Pullman Company that you are no longer slaves of the South, go strike. They will find then that not many of their customers can make their own beds. But I don't think a strike will be necessary. The strength of this brotherhood must innounce the company to give in to your demands." Vice-President of Chelsea Hopes to Make Banker of Berkeley Smith --- Judge Panken insisted that the Negro paid too much homage to Lincoln. "Lincoln," he said, "was not an emancipator. he did only what economic conditions and circumstances required him to do. Slavery in the United States has not been abolished, as you all know." Charles G. Rupp, vice-president of the Chelsea Exchange Bank and manager of the Harlem branch at 15th street and Seventh avenue, hopes, eventually, to make a banker of Berkeley Smith Jr. 18. A Using the sixty-five per cent of the organized porters to do their best to get the remainder in the Union he said that the Brotherhood was engaged in more than a trade union movement, "It is a crusade on the part of the Negro for the Negro and the working class in general. The success of the organization will give your race self-respect; the respect of your fellow-citizens; and it will give the children of your race courage, inspiration and self-reliance." Berkeley Smith Jr. who lives at No. 287 Edgecombe avenue. Young Smith was recommended to Mr. Rapp by John J. O'Rielley, principal of the Mr. Morris Junior High School, from which school he was graduated. Mr. O'Rielley many, years ago taught Mr. Rapp when he was in public school. In his work with the bank, Smith is under the direct supervision of Mr. Rapp, who says that he will promote him to more responsible tasks as fast as he is ready for them. The demands of the Brotherhood for an increase of wages and better working conditions are under consideration by the United States Board of Mediation, headed by Edwin P. Morrow, former Governor of Kentucky. After graduating from the junior high school, Smith entered the George Washington High School, but subsequently had to leave to supplement the family income, his father being dead. He lives with his mother, Mrs. Isabella Smith, and his two sisters, Bernice. 16, and Mrs. Edith Grant, at the above address. In a resolution recently passed by the Board it was decided that further investigation was necessary, and that Mr. Morrow "be directed to secure all necessary evidence from the Pullman Company and the porters, bearing upon the question of representation, authority to represent, and such other matters as may indicate the desire of the employees by a petition, ballot, membership or otherwise, as to the form and character of representation they desire." He was born in Brooklyn.

Other experiments have shown that the ricket-preventing vitamin A is associated with the green color of the vegetables in which it occurs so that the ordinary garden variety of lettuce is a far better source of energy than head lettuce.

Richard Moore Tells of American Oppression BRUSSELS, Feb. 28.—American "imperialism" and treatment of the Negro were among the most vigorously denounced of many alleged abuses mentioned in a final volley of resolutions which have been adopted by the Congress of Oppressed Nations in session here. Richard Moore, an American Negro, presented one resolution which stated that 12,000,000 Negroes in the United States, guaranteed equal rights under the Constitution, are denied full and equal participation in the life of the nation. This oppression is greater in the southern states, where the spirit of chattel slavery still predominates. Among the resolutions was one saying that Haiti has been crushed by the American marines there and the people enslaved, while Latin America was declared not to be guilty of oppressing the Negro. The congress urged that a general organization and co-operation be hastened to right imperialism, oppression and race prejudice. Young Man Sent to Elmira Reformatory William Green, 19, 316 West 142d street, was sentenced to an indefinite term in Elmira Reformatory by Judge Cohn in the Bronx County Court last week following his plea of guilty to a larceny charge growing out of the theft of a $12 ring. Green was arrested by Policeman Wesley McClelland, of Alexander avenue station, Jan. 21, as he was running from the jewelry store of Fanny Jacobs at 318 East 149th street. Green had entered the store with a request to see "some rings," according to Assistant District Attorney Henderson. Mrs. Jacobs brought forward a tray and after Green selected a gold ring valued at $12, he ran from the store carrying the ring. Mrs. Jacobs followed, crying "stop thief," and Policeman McClelland, standing nearby, rook up the chase. GREENSBURG WOMAN HELD FOR MURDER (Preston News Service.)

Grave Robber Now Suspected of Murder CHICAGO, Feb. 23.—Discovery of a trunk laden with women's clothing in contrast with the four human skulls found in the convict's trunk in a Detroit suburbed to renewed efforts last week to determine whether James M. Coyner murdered as well as robbed graves. The second trunk was seized at Bicycle, Miss., where officials became suspicious when a woman supposed to be the mother of Coyner, who is in the Indiana State Prison, declined to identify herself to obtain the luggage. Investigation disclosed an assortment of women's apparel in the trunk, which had been forwarded by Coyner's sister in Chicago. It was to her the giant convict sent a letter from the prison, telling her to get the Michigan trunk or it would be "all up with me." Coyner is in prison for robbing a grave in Hammond, Ind., last October, but the authorities have not satisfied themselves that he obtained the gruesome collection only from cemeteries. With the trunk in Michigan were found numerous notations of women's names and addresses, about which Coyner has maintained surly silence, although acknowledging ownership of the trunk. Woman Begs to Be Made Jail Worker 60-Day Sentence Reduced Much to Her Regret 60-Day Sentence Reduced Much to Her Regret (Oreston News Service. OXFORD, N. C., Feb. 23.—Ralph Walters, acting Granville County jailer, reports that the most amazing thing happened, when he unlocked the cell door and informed Mrs. Helen Routen that she was a free woman. The Routen woman had been sentenced to 60 days in jail and it was specified that she would be a "trusty janitress," and that her sentence would be reduced if she attended to her duties and behaved herself. She is said to have proven to be a very obedient and faithful worker, but when she was told to get her clothes and leave the jail she said: "My clothes are in wash and I must clean up the place before I leave and I will not leave here until I get good and ready. I'll let you know when I am ready to go." Walters reported the matter to the sheriff and that afternoon he told her that she would have to go. She then told the sheriff: "I would like to remain here and keep this place clean. You people have been so nice to me, I certainly hate to go out into this cold, cruel world again." The sheriff said that the woman presented a pathetic sight as she left the jail. Two mornings afterwards and with the dawn of day came Mrs. Routen asking that she be permitted to clean up the jail. She told the sherm that in seemed as though the people outside of the jail picked on her and made nothing but trouble for her. She knew that she would be safe in the jail and would not have to protect herself against the mean people on the outside. GREAT BRITAIN HAS NEW LEGITIMACY ACT Until the beginning of this year no child born out of wedlock in Great Britain could be later legitimated by the marriage of the parents. On January 1, 1927, an act came into force making this possible, except in cases where either parent was married to a third person at the time the child was born. Legitimation dates only from the time the act came into force even though the marriage occurred earlier. Legitimated children are to have the same rights of inheritance as children born in wedlock, and they have the right to have their births registered. PEONAGE TRIAL SET FOR EARLY APRIL MONROE, La., Feb. SS—W. P. Parham, well-to-do white Richland Parish farmer, will go on trial in Federal Court April 4 on charges of peonage in connection with the alleged enslavement of a family of Negroes. The date was fixed by Judge Ben Dawkins. Parham was leased on bond. Parham was charged with forcing a woman and her two children to return with him from Monroe to his plantation, where he was alleged to have held them until they worked out a debt contracted by the woman's husband.

Tuskegee Conference Discusses Negro Health Problems in South Week April 3 TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Feb. 28.—The ever urgent problem of Negro health was the subject of the conference of agencies co-operating in the promotion of National Negro Health Week, which met here recently in conjunction with the thirty-sixth annual Tuskegee Negro Conference. Causes for the high morbidity rate among Negroes and methods of reducing it were considered by the conference, which was attended by representatives of state and private health agencies, educational institutions and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In accordance with the practice of former years it was decided that the National Negro Health Week would be observed during the week of April 3, the week of the birthday of the late Booker T. Washington, who was responsible for the promotion of the first Negro Health Week. R. R. Taylor, acting principal of Tuskegee institute, who presided over the meeting, called attention to the fact that the health problem of the Negro is also the health problem of the white man. "When we are discussing the health of the Negro of the South," he said, "we are discussing the health of the entire South. We cannot have slick Negroes and well white people. Poor health for Negroes means poor health for white people. When we try to improve the health of the Negroes of the South, we are trying to improve the health of the South." ELECTED PRESIDENT OF STUDENT BODY Donald Mendez, 262 West 154th street, was elected president of General Organization of the High School of Commerce, 155 West Sixty-fifth street, last Monday. The formal installation of officers was held on Wednesday. Mr. Mendez, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mendez, is a senior in the high school. Encouragement was found in the increasing interest with which the people are taking up the observance of the Health Week. Reports showed that observance of the week is becoming more widespread each year and is being conducted along more scientific lines. There is also a growing tendency toward making the health work a year-round project with a permanent committee in charge. Health conditions in the rural districts were discussed. It was pointed out that in many instances ignorance and superstition of the people prevented them from securing such aid as they might from the state in problems of health. Suggestions were received for the preparation of the annual Federal Bulletin on Negro Health. Georgia Peonage Foreman Dies in Camp ATLANTA. Ga., Feb. 28.—Clyde Manning, formerly foreman for J. S. Williams, white, on the farm where peonnie was alleged to have existed in 1921 and out of which grew murder charges against Williams and his three sons and Manning, died January 19 in the tuberculosis camp of the prison farm, it became known here to-day. Manning was the chief witness against J. S. Williams when he was sentenced to life imprisonment in the death of eleven Negroes on his farm. Manning also was given a life term. Two of Williams' sons have surrendered on charges of murder in the case after being fugitives for five years. MONTCELLO, Ga., Feb. 28.—Indictments for murder pending for five years against Marvin and Huland Williams, as a result of peonage conditions on their father's farm, were placed on the Superior Court docket for trial in August.

WALTER JACKSON HELD FOR JURY Walter Jackson, 28, 1813 Third avenue, was held in $1,500 ball for the Grand Jury by Magistrate Tolleria in Harlem Court on Wednesday on a charge of felonious assault. Thomas O'Brien, white, 229 East 101st street, charged that Jackson struck him over the head with the leg of a chair following an altercation in front of Jackson's home. Policeman Michael Cotter of the East 104th Street Station arrested Jackson. WOMEN WORK OLD TRICK (Preston News Service.) WASHINGTON, D.

Since then the show has been amplified and improved. Several new numbers have been added and the cast enlarged. The new addition was presented in Philadelphia and Washington, and in both cities was acclaimed as one of the finest revue productions in years. The stars of the original cast: Jean Starr, Lotte Gee, Johnny Vigal, Clarence Robinson, Teddy Peters, Jimmie Mordecai are perforning as never before. And those young wonders, the Berry brothers, will have many surprises for the patrons of the Lafayette Theatre.

It is these splendid attractions, together with the determination of the management to give to its patrons everything possible in the way of attractive surroundings and courteous service, that keeps the Lafayette in the forefront of those theatres which are located in colored communities. Artists Form Organization On Saturday evening, February 5, we are informed, a group composed of some of our most promising artists met at the residence of one of their number. Arthur Wilson of 142 West 124th street, and formed what they hope will eventually blossom forth as an outstanding musical and dramatic organization. The new club is made of members who believe there is a lack of interest in inspiring artists to obtain prominence in the world of music and the drama, and will aid in assisting its members in their desires to reach the heights of their chosen profession. This organization will operate under the name of the S. Coleridge Taylor M, D, and A. Club. Among the roster of those making up the membership will be found Arthur Wilson, Miss Anola Miller, W. Davis Smith, Andrew Dickerson, John Work, the Misses Frankie Dixon, Doris Trottman, Ruby Green and Gladys Goode.

Act IV is largely a revival of that ancient agency of the drama—the masquerade. It makes a fine and realistic musical setting, and our talented cast of seventeen take great advantage of it. Intense and tragedy stalk behind the masks, and lead up to a climax seldom attained. The ending is one of happy reconciliation; and a Job, having endured a great scourge, receives a greater blessing. I am indebted to Dean Pickens for his graphic account of the play which he witnessed during his visit in Russia. It was indeed a most "shocking" drama, which made me shed a tear at the extent in infidelity to which the beloved children of Peter the Great have drifted. Just as this parable reflected, more or less accurately, the present spirit of the people, so "His Cross" reflects the spirit of the colored race. It reveals our peculiar power, and points out that the sum of "our day" is now visible on the horizon. 1863-- ANNU Salc Thu Sun. 13 at night?" a young man was heard to and query. ning that one sees upon the stage peculiar outgrowth has provoked a veritable storm of criticism, may, condemnation. With a certainty based upon ten years of study of the stage I admit that the condition of this institution today is unprecedented.

But it behooves and its ears, an important rage, to rip from the chorus girl her two and a half inch shirt until he has a more "logical" one to put upon her.

Anniversary at Douglas Theatre Management Will Make This a Banner Week at the Big Uptown House This is anniversary week at the Douglas Theatre, and it brings back memories of those days when Silverman and Sovina first opened the house. In those days we found men who were apparently glad to try to cooperate with those here in the community in a way which, while it did not bring immediate monetary returns, carried a certain touch of that humaneness which will always be remembered by the friends they made. At this time we are also glad of the opportunity to make particular mention of the manner in which Manager Shapiro has tried to operate both the Roosevelt and Douglas Theatres. Since coming here he has let no stone unturned to prove that he is fully appreciative of the support from colored people, and he is always trying to do anything in his power to cement friendly relations now existing. In keeping with the times the Roosevelt will offer special features all this week. Aside from the big features to be shown, there are also stage attractions which should appeal to patrons of the 1863--- Sixty-f ANNUAL RECEPTIO of the Saloonmen's Union Thursday Mar 1863--- Sixty-fourth ---1927 ANNUAL RECEPTION AND DANCE of the Saloonmen's Protective Union No. 1 Thursday, March 10th, 1927 AT IMPERIAL AUDITORIUM, 160 WEST 129th ST.

Putting on High Class Programs. New Comedy at the Lafayette Much Expected of "Gay Harlem," Which Opens for a Week on Monday Irvin C. Miller, the best known and most successful of the present day producers of colored musical revues, states that his latest offering, "Gay Harlem," is by far the best of his productions, "Gay Harlem" has been "breaking in" in Philadelphia and in Newark and will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre for one week beginning Monday, March 7. Miller, says advance information, has paid particular attention to the comedy element in his latest revue. In fact, our informant tells us, the comedy situations are so good that he could not resist the temptation to take one of the leading comedy roles himself, sharing the honors with Billy Cumber, who will surprise even his most ardent admirers by his hilariously funny antics. The company presenting "Gay Harlem" is an unusually good one. Aside from Miller and Cumby the following popular entertainers are in the cast: Elizabeth Smith, the Taskanla Four, Lorrine Williams, Ruby Mason, Beatrice Foote, Ethel Dudley, Ike Paul, John Alexander and Leon Cassidy. The chorus is unusually beautiful and well-trained. The photoplay part of the program includes the following features: On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (March 7, S and 9) "Winning the Futurity," a stirring race-track melodrama; on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (March 10, 11, 12 and 13) "The Nervous Wreck," one of the funest and most thrilling comedydrama which the stage has ever produced. This big show will be presented at the Lafayette's usual low prices, which range from 25c to 50c. house. Novelties galore are in order, and those reading these lines and with a love for the best in movies would do well to look in at the Dougins. Jimmie Howell's Mother Laid to Rest Here Actor Had to Make Long Jump From Kansas, Where He Was Putting On Show Jimmie Howell, well known on the stage, arrived in town last week to attend the funeral of his mother, Mrs. Mary E. Howell-Prendergast, who died suddenly February 16 while at the home of a friend. Mrs. Howell was buried on Feb- Theatre Arts Exhibit of African Art One of the unique features, and undoubtedly one of the significant events of this year's art season in New York, is the exhibition of the Blandiau-Theatre Arts collection of primitive African sculpture and craft art. The collection, formerly the property of a Belgian collector, who spent twenty-five years assembling it, was acquired last summer by Theatre Arts, which, because of its interest in the art side of drama, has been associated with so many projects in the field of its allied arts. The acquisition of so representative a collection seemed a fine opportunity not only to bring to America unusual examples of this rare and increasingly prized native art, but through its influence to help promote the important contemporary movement for the revival of the art crafts and the reintegration of art with life. For in this field the folk arts of primitive peoples furnish the best example, that being their one outstanding cultural achievement. Pola Negri Here in Her Latest Will Be at the Lincoln Theatre in Paramount's This collection of nearly a thousand items comprises specimens of all the native African crafts, the famous Bushongo wood sculpture, ivory and horn carving, metal work, applied decoration, weaving and pottery, and represents a complete picture of the art-work of the Congo region. A number of different tribal styles are reflected, but the best examples are those from the most artistic tribes of the region, the renowned Bushongo peoples, the Bakuba, Baluba and the Bangongo, and the Kasai. The collection includes an especially fine series of over forty Bakuba ceremonial cups or goblets, an extensive series of carved vases and musical instruments, a number of fine specimens of ceremonial and ritual masks, and a large group of finely decorated weapons and personal accoutrements. The various types of fetish images, the genre of this art most prized by collectors, are well represented: the idea of M. Blondiu, the collector, however, was to assemble selected art samples of all the standard types and thus present an authentic picture of this primitive work. The best periods of Bushongo workmanship place all worthwhile specimens several centuries back, so any authentic good pieces are antiques. The craze for African equivalents of period antiques may indeed prove an interesting new turn for our collecting habit. While not making the claims so hard to substantiate of definite dates for particular objects, the Blondiau collection nevertheless represents almost exclusively untique work of the better periods, and a few extremely ancient pieces of an art which is fast disappearing under the pressure of competition with machine manufactured goods and European commercial interests. The collection is now on exhibition in New York at the New Art Circle, 35 West Fifty-seventh street. Only part of the collection will be offered for sale, as the project is principally educational in purpose. As African art has hitherto been too exclusively a matter of modernist art coteries, it is hoped and expected that a real popular interest will be evoked, and especially that circles and centers interested in promoting the cultural interests of the Negro will seize upon this opportunity for public presentation of a little known and representative side of African life and civilization.

"THE MAGICIAN" With ALICE TERRY Presented Exclusively First at The Lincoln Theatre Pola Negri Here in Her Latest Will Be at the Lincoln Theatre in Paramount's Newest, Entitled "Hotel Imperial" The Pola Negril of "Passion" has returned. She reaches the pinnace of film genius in one of the great pictures of the year, "Hotel imperial," her newest Paramount starring vehicle, which comes to the Lincoln Theatre on Thursday. Here, at last, in an American-made picture, is the woman whose sensational characterizations aroused world-wide enthusiasm when she first appeared on the screen, in a vehicle worthy of her tempestuous artistry—a tremendous drama. Her interpretation is by far the finest work she has done since coming to America. The presentation of "Hotel Imperial" is a real event in film history. It is a war drama of wholly new type, a dynamic story of tremendous climaxes that deals with human beings and their reactions to conflict, rather than with armies on the battlefield. In the hands of Erich Pommer, Europe's greatest film maker, who produced "Hotel Imperial" as his first picture for Paramount, the best of American production meth- ods has been combined with the extraordinary camera technique he developed in Europe. Souls are bared with that cyclonic power he demonstrated as effectively in "Variety" and "The Last Laugh." It hurls the spectator into the midst of that little known episode of the World War, the Russian invasion of Hungary in 1915, takes one abruptly into a gripping drama and unfolds with never a moment's lessening of its tension. And towering over all is a vivid, pulsating personality. The sweeping power of Miss Negri's characterization as a humble chambermaid whose love made the fate of armies tremble in the balance is breath-taking. She is carried through every height and depth of emotion and portrayed as only Pola Negri can. Viola Dana Seen at Her Best in New Film Comes to the Roosevelt Theatre in "Homestruck" for Run of Three Days Viola Dana's innumerable admirers will be more than delighted with her latest FBO production, "Homestruck," which is playing at the Roosevelt Theatre. Not only will they see their favorite in which the critics consider her best piece of dramatic work, but they will be treated to the enchanting sight of the dainty star in a number of solo dances. Miss Dana is one of the most finished dancers in the film colony, although not many of her pictures have given her the opportunity of displaying her talent in this line and, consequently, her dancing ability may come as a surprise to many of her fans. The petite star is more sparkling, vivid and dynamic than ever under the brilliant direction of Ralph Ince, who has made her plumb the depths of the powerful role given to her in this production. The splendid supporting cast includes such popular thespians as Alan Brooks, Tom Gallery, Nigel Barrie, George Irving and Charles Howard. Peter Milne is the author of the story, while Ewart Adamson wrote the continuity. Motion Picture Operator at Lafayette Badly Beaten After Midnight Show Armisted Pride, Son of Well Known Doctor on 135th Street, Took Position After His Return Here From Washington Operators Strike Has Been Going on at This House for Months Friends of young Armisted Pride, son of Dr. William J. Pride of 219 West 155th street, received a severe shock when it was leaned that he was badly beaten up early last Saturday morning on 190th street, between Fifth and Lenox avenues. Young Pride took a job at the Lafayette Theatre to operate the motion picture machine at this house, where a strike of motion picture operators has been going on for the past few months. Pride is not a member of the union staging the strike and keeping pickets before the Lafayette, but felt that he was entitled to work at his trade as long as there was an opening in the community, where he is widely known. He has been making good on the job, we understand, and so far as the union is concerned all Harlem believed that everything was over, where operators are concerned, despite the pickets keeping their silent but active patrol in front of the Lafayette. He managed to drag himself to his father's home, where medical assistance was forthcoming at the hands of Dr. Binga Dismond. The young man was unconscious At the present writing no open charge has been made that Pride's misfortune can be laid at the door of any person in Harlem, but a strong rumor is going the rounds that his assailants, though white, are known, and if apprehended will cause a sensation that will again stir things up. Pride was on his way home through 130th street early Saturday morning, having worked the midnight show at the Lafayette when two men, said to be white, suddenly appeared from the shadows and struck him, kno'r him.

He managed to drag him self to his father's home, where medical assistance was forthecoming at the hands of Dr. Binga Dismond. The young man was unconscious for a long time, although when taken to Dr. Dismond's sanitarium he was able to recognize those closest to him. Pride came here some months ago from Washington, D. C. where he had been working, and after assuring himself that there should be nothing to keep him from working at his trade, despite the strike, he took the position at the Lafayette Theatre. In a conversation with Dr. Pride, father of the young man, a representative of the New York Amsterdam News was given certain in- tation that would have a tenency to create quite a furore if it be disclosed that the men administering such a beating to his son can be shown to be affiliated in any way with any organization, such as gangsters, working towards staging a reign of terror in an otherwise peaceable community. Making Good as House Manager Cary B. Lewis Celebrates First Anniversary at the Metropolitan Theatre Despite the loud acclaim that it would be hard to find colored men to act as managers of the theatres catering exclusively to Negroes, the life has again been given to the canard which can only find "safe and comfort at the hands of the enemy" in circles where there isn't the least intention of giving Negroes a chance in executive positions despite the support of Negroes to such houses. Again we sound the clarion call asserting that where it is feasible we sincerely hope that white theatre owners will give our people a chance to earn a living in positions that would be the means of furnishing certain necessities in life which tend to lift any people. Recently communications have been coming to this department of the Amsterdam News telling of the good work of Cary B. Lewis, a former newspaper man, now employed as manager of the Metropolitan Theatre at 47th street and Grand Boulevard, Chicago. Mr. Lewis took the management of the house about a year ago and on the occasion of the celebration of his first anniversary received the following letter from his employers: Dear Mr. Lewis: At a meeting of the Board of Directors it was unanimously voted that, in recognition of your services at the Metropolitan Theatre, you be appointed manager, in direct charge of all operations, with full control of all activities in this institution. This was done in appreciation of your efforts and services of the past year, and we trust that the consistent energy you have displayed in furthering the efforts of your business will be continued. By Lewis F. Newhafer. The above makes good our claim that we are deserving of the kind of recognition which we are entitled to and which has been so grudgingly shown towards us in the past. Negroes can render faithful service and look out for the interests of their employers in the theatrical world the same as they are doing in other businesses.

A concession for the construction of a railway between Cape Haitien in the north and Port au Prince in the south was obtained as far back as 1905, but this was used by the Philadelphia group, which secured it for the purpose of fleecing investors in the United States rather than for the construction of any line. In 1910 an American adventurer named James P. McDonald came to Haiti, apparently without backing from any large financial interests, and, bringing the members of the Haitian Congress, succeeded in getting a bill passed which turned over to him the prior concessions and guaranteed the company which he was to form, namely, the National Railway of Haiti, 6 per cent interest on bonds issued to finance the construction of the road, up to a total of $33,000 per mile. This was in effect a guaranty of $2,000 per mile per year. He also secured another concession granting him exclusive control over twenty kilometers of land on either side of the railroad for the growing of tropical fruits, for certain of which he was given an export monopoly. This amounted to nearly half of total land in the country. McDonald had had the forest sight to bribe the President, Antoine Simon, but for some reason the latter delayed his approval of the act. After this delay had gone on for some time, McDonald went to the President's daughter, Celestine Simon, a voodoo priestess with a great deal of influence over her father. The conversation, which has been widely reported as having occurred between them, has become one of the Haitian classics. "All the crown princesses of Europe have costly jewels," McDonald is said to have declared, adding: "Where are yours?" It is stated that Celestine replied that she had none and that McDonald then reached into his pocket, took out a box, opened it, and held up a string of pearls. He told Celestine that the pearls were hers if and when her father signed the railway concessions. Antone Simon signed the act that afternoon and the pearls are said to have been delivered to his daughter that evening. They had cost five dollars! Thus a string of paste brables launched Haiti into a financial venture which will in the end cost her people more than $5,000,000, and which was one of NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2, 1927 By PAUL H. DOUGLAS the causes for the American intervention in 1915. Bonds for the construction of the company were floated in France by the W. R. Grace Co., and the Caribbean Construction Company was formed to serve as a subcontractor in the building of the road. The British Ethelburga syndicate of somewhat malodorous reputation took a share in this company. Whether or not the insiders in the company made a considerable profit it is still an object of dispute. The company went bankrupt, and the National City Bank states that it did not repay a loan which the bank had made to it. In 1914 Haiti found that only three disconnected sections of the railroad had been finished. The first paralleled the seacoast for 60 miles from Pore au Prince to St. Marc. There was then a gap of 40 miles to Gonaives, whence a spur ran 20 miles to Ennery. The mountainous regions between Ennery and Cape Haitien were also untouched, but another short line of 28 miles ran directly south from Cape Haitien into the logwood country. In all 108 miles of road were built and $3,545,000 of bonds issued. After meeting two quarterly interest charges of $54,000 each, the Haitian Government in 1914 refused to make further payments—on the ground that it had contracted for a completed road, not for three disconnected segments. Through traffic was of course, impossible, and three separate sets of rolling-stock had to be maintained. The company, meanwhile, came under the control of interests which were at least closely affiliated with the National City Bank. There is no evidence that the National City Bank was a party to the original bribery of the Haitian Government or that it knew McDonald until after he had received his concession. McDonald had by this time not only been eliminated from the company, but his banana concession had also lapsed because of failure to develop it. Roger I. Farnham, then in the employ of the National City Bank and later one of its vice-presidents, has been president of the railroad from 1911 on. Mr. Farnham replied to the Haitian contention by declaring that the company had made an effort in good faith to build a completed railroad, but that frequent revolutions—force majure—had prevented the construction of the line. He insisted that the terms of the concession provided that the interest should be recognized as each section of the road was built and that payments were not contingent upon the construction of the completed line. Possibly he interpreted the concession correctly, but probably none save those directly concerned know definitely why the road was not finished. Revolutions during hindered the work somewhat. Antoine Simon had been driven out of Haiti in 1911 by groups which charged that he had sold out the country to the foreigners; his successor, President Leconte, was bwn up in the Presidential Palace, and President Auguste died late 1913 and early 1914 may have mysteriously after eating food which did not agree with him. It is difficult to see how these assasinations impeded the construction of the road. Most of the later revolutions occurred after construction had been abandoned rather than before. The year from April, 1914, to April, 1915, did indeed break all records, there being no fewer than three Presidents during the twelve months; but these changes occurred after railroad building had stopped. The sections constructed were those which ran through level country and the full $33,000 a mile was claimed as cost. Most of the sections not constructed were in the mountains and would probably have cost more than $33,000 a mile. Despite the frequent changes in government during 1914-1915, all of the Presidents refused to recognize the validity of the railway's claim. The matter was brought to the attention of Mr. Bryan, then United States Secretary of State, and in one of his dispatches to the American Minister to Haiti he urged that the Haitian Government should come to an agreement with the National Railway of Haiti. But no agreement was reached. There can be little doubt that the Banque Nationale de la Republique d'Haiti, in which the National City Bank owned a small interest, desired American control. A cable from Minister Smith to our State Department in July, 1914, stated that if the bank refused to renew the budgetary convention of 1910, whereby it advanced the current Government receipts, and if instead, it held all "moneys intact until the end of the fiscal year" (September 30, 1915), then "the Government will find itself without funds of any sort, and with no income, and undoubtedly will find it most difficult to operate." Minister Smith continued; "It is just this condition that the bank desires, for it is the belief of the bank that the Government, when confronted by such a crisis, would be forced to ask the assistance of the United States in adjusting its financial tangle, and that American supervision of the customs would result." This attempt to impound the Haitian receipts for a year in order to obtain American control over the customs, together with the pressure which the Haitian Government was exercising in order to secure control of the reserve for the redemption of the paper money held by the bank, accounts for some of the influence thrown in fa- 1 vor of American intervention. Mr. Parnham, in his capacity as president of the railroad, would also have been helped by American intervention. On July 27, 1913, the revolution in Port au Prince drove President Sam to the French Legation and while he was there his commander of the National Prison shot 164 of Sam's imprisoned political opponents. This massacre inflamed the city; a mob broke into the French Legation and murdered Sam, and crowds paraded the streets with Sam's remains. American marines were landed the next day, and our occupation of Haiti began. With the help of American diplomatic and naval influence Sudre Darfurtenue who was favorable to our interests, was elected President, and a treaty which gave the United States economic and military control of Haiti was drafted and, after some oposition, was ratified. One of the clauses of this treaty provided that "Haiti would execute a protocol for the settlement by arbitration or otherwise of all pending pecuniary claims of foreign corporations, companies, citizens, or subjects against Haiti." It was not until 1919, more than three years later, that a protocol was negotiated providing for the establishment of a Claims Commission. This protocol specified that the interest upon the bonds of the National Railway of Haiti should be admitted as a charge upon the Haitian treasury without being submitted to the Claims Commission. No interest was paid on the bonds, however, until 1922, when the arrearages, amounting to over $1,000,000, were paid. During this entire period the railroad had been a complete financial failure. The gross annual revenues from 1914 to 1922 averaged less than $30,000 a year, while the operating costs alone, including depreciation, amounted annually to nearly $170,000. Since the yearly interest charges were $216,000, the income of the road amounted to approximately one-half of the operating costs, and to only 22 per cent of the total annual charges. The remainder came from the Haitian peasant, who ultimately paid the taxes, and from the roadbed and rolling stock, which was allowed to depreciate. In 1920 the road was thrown into a friendly receivership and Judge Julina Mayer appointed Mr. Farnham as receiver. This receivership lasted for four years. Mr. Farnham charged $25,000 a year for his services and gave $20,000 a year to Sullivan and Cromwell for legal advice. Other costly counsel fees were also paid. Thus the receivership fees paid to men in New York who spent but a small fraction of their time in Haiti amounted to approximately one-half the total annual receipts. These fees absorbed virtually all of the funds that had been accumulated at the rate of 1 per cent per year for the purposes of amortization. Judge Mayer nevertheless praised the receivership in a statement issued to the press on the eve of his retirement as a Federal judge by declaring: 'The fortunate results of this receivership refute the contention sometimes advanced that the Anniversary at the Douglas Making Good Abroad. Tom in the Lightweight. Welter-Now in South America. They and in Fighting Pose. PAIN courts are incapable of dealing successfully with administrative as well as legal problems." He ascerted that there had "been a complete rehabilitation to the great advantage of the many investors, both here and abroad." It is known that Mr. Farnham, who is now no longer connected with the National City Bank, is at present receiving $15,000 a year as president of the railroad, although he spends but little time in Haiti. He had been an expensive luxury for the Haitian peasants. In 1934 an agreement was negotiated between Mr. Farnham and the American Financial Adviser to Halif whereby the bonds of the National Railway of Halif were exchanged at a discount of 25 per cent for Series C bonds of the Republic of Halif. The total amount of the bonds was reduced to $260,000 at 6 per cent and a thirty-year amortization period was provided. Of the paid-in interest, $600,000 was recaptured to extend the road into territory which it was hoped would bring in more revenue. These Series C bonds, as is the case with all the other issues authorised under the protocol of 1918, are guaranteed by American control of the customs until they are paid off. American collection of the customs is thus authorized beyond the expiration of the treaty in 1936. First and last, therefore, this railroad will cost the Hattkins well over $3,000,000. One of the interesting features of the situation is that, had the American Financial Advisor acted promptly, the Government might have retired the is Miss Theresa Mason Famous Actress says Herolin Hair Dressing has softened, lengthened and beautified her hair.

In 1929 the bonds of the railway had fallen to around 65—in francs—on the Paris Bourse. Due to the depreciation of the franc it would have been possible to buy up some of these bonds for as low as 27. and the value of the entire interest at this rate would have been a little more than $700,000. When it is remembered that the accrued interest alone was by that time approximately twice this figure, the possible saving in interest and in principal is evident. But the opportunity was neglected. Who, then, did buy the bonds? It is generally understood that the National City Bank now owns from two-thirds to three-quarter of the issue. The bank, however, defends that it did not buy such bonds as it holds directly in the Paris market, but instead obtained them as collateral for a debt due to them but unpaid. From whom the bonds were taken and what they cost the National City Bank I do not know. It is certain, however, that someone made a large profit upon the transaction. The cost of the bonds, assuming that they constitute 70 per cent of the issue, could scarcely have been more than $600,000 or $700,000, even allowing for an increase in price resulting from bidding them in. The secured back interest permanently retained would amount to not less than $50,000, while the exchange for Haitian bonds at $75 would mean an added capital gain of $1,850,000. Unknown individuals or the National City Bank, or both, seem to have made more than $2,000,000 on the series of transactions. The American occupation of Haiti has performed some real services in building roads, reducing disease, collecting the revenues honestly, and in putting down robber bands. But this use of military power to force the Haitians to accept a contract conceived in sin and beaten in iniquity, the ultimate effect of which has been to give a large profit to American interests, cannot be excused. The Haitians can hardly be blamed if they are somewhat cynical when our Government talks about the "exactly of contracts." (From The Nation for January 19.)

It was 19-16 in favor of the Penns when the game came to a conclusion. The Grand Centrals are far from pleased and announced that Lady Luck rooted hard for the Penns.

J., Feb. 28.—The 1926 ratings of the American Tennis Association, released two weeks ago by J. Mercer Burrell, secretary of the A. T. A., show many striking changes in the list of the leading colored tennis players of national rank. Erge G. Salkit, the new national singles champion, has dethroned Ted Thompson, the sensational holder of the 1925 title, as No. 1. The record of the young New York star in open competition clearly entitled him to first place in the ratings. Salch's sensational victory over Thompson in the finals of the national, and his winning of the Eastern championship tournament at Borden town, now most worthily performances. On the basis of all-around play in the national and the other major tournaments during the season of 1926, Thompson stands head and shoulders above the field for second place. Johnny. Wilkinson.

Morgan had a world of confidence because just the week before they had set the Blue and White team down by a 2-13 score. Morgan, known to be a wonderful passing team, was on this occasion outpassed by Howard. Campbell and Woods and Cobbs started the good work with passes that Morgan simply couldn't follow. In other words, Howard "outdid" Morgan in Morgan style. Cobbs uped the team by making three free throws and bringing the way to Woods, who with Campbell baffled the Baltimore five. The half ended with the count 8-5 for the boys from the Capital City Near the second half Coach Burr sent in the other four regulars. They overcame a five point lead by the end of the game, letting the score stand 15-18. Five minutes extra was ordered by the referee to settle things. This wasn't enough, since each team managed to get two points. The score still tied at 20, both teams went at it hammer and tongs to decide the issue. Five more minutes wouldn't help so a third fire minutes was essential things started to break and the space began to tell on Lanky Jones and four horsesmen. Howard scraped up three points to Morgan's one to win one of the hardest, fastest best games ever seen in these maries by a score of 23-21. And so, Howard took Morgan's measure. BUCCANEERS BEAT MORGAN BUCCANEERS BEAT MORGAN Seashore Lads' Speed, Defense and Shooting Too Much for Lanky Jones Hill, Clark and Co. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. 2, 2016—The Bucs won their sixth straight victory Friday night at Walz Dream at the expense of Morgan College, 2019. in the fastest game of the season. The locals speed, with never a leapup and a super defense, was too much for the collations. Morgan got nearly every tattoo and showed a bewildered face twice during the forty wore they able to get under the basket. They peppered the net with long stabs, but their shots were hurred and they failed to count. Inte in the second half Talmage Hill dislocated his shoulder and was taken to the Atlantic City field for treatment was relieved by Jones, who had been yanked with three personalis after twelve minutes of play. Hill drew first blood at the start, scoring a side shot. Jones tallied from the foul line, but Queen made good two foul tries and Brooks looved one, giving the Bucs the lead. They held it through the foul line, which ended 10-8. Morning training, the second half Hill. Whealy and Spencer scoring, while the Bucs stood still. Green for Wayman and Willis, for brooks turned the trick. Stanfield and Green scored from mid-court. Howard counted from the foul line, Green arched another, and the Bucs wore in front, 20-17.

La Grey made a decided hit in the Garden last week and followed up with another victory in his own state on Saturday, defeating undefeated since forlaking the amateur ranks and looms up as a bright prospect in the 147 pound division. This battle is only one of several good ones that Joe McKenna, matchmaker of the Manhattan Casino, opposes the Polo Grounds, presents to uptown fight fans tonight. Wednesday night, March 3. Joe Malone vs. Bud Dempsey for ten sessions is one. While Izzy Anderson is the leader, a mild sensation since turning professional, faces Johnny Rocco of New Rochelle in another six spot.

In another six spot Manny Rosco of Harlem collides against Eddie McRae, colored Harlem featherweight, while the opening four round event brings together Eddie Matthos and Sidney Anstreich. Community Stops Bordentown Washington Team Revenges Self on Home Court in Close Conflict WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 21.—Coming from behind to overcome an eight point lead, the Community A. C. of Washington, defeated the Bordentown School five in a close and exciting game by the score of 41-32. In winning tonight's game the Washington five broke a winning streak of eleven games for the Jersey school and obtained revenge for a previous defeat suffered at Bordentown. The game was fast and clean throughout, with Bordenton gaining the lead in the first quarter and holding it until the last few minutes of play. Thomas was the main star in the Community constellation, the lanky center leading the rally that snatched victory out of what seemed to be certain defeat. Captain Lacey also played a hang-up game and broke Bordenton's heart by beautiful looping shots. MeCann, captain of the team, was the only player for the visitn, but the inability of Neale to find the basket was costly to his team mates. Coach Miller of the Armstrong High School team refereed the contest and made as fine an exhibition as has been seen in this section recently. "Y" Bowlers in National Tournament Last Week The "T" Bowlers got away to a good start in the National Bowling Tournament last week but could not keep up the pace.

Two occurrences of this nature happened only last week, and at the same club. One of the greats an Irishman, dubbed Peter Paul O'Hallorn, some sort of a champion, from the land of Shannonk, turned the wasty trick on a gentle from California. Jimmy Moore, a stabletime of K. Middle Tobacco, where he was a K. Pundun out of the land of sunshine several months ago, only to have the Baltimore WCP reverse things in the Garden a few weeks ago. And, bias my soul, Peter can have been a very long time to go through with the weighing in common which was the stagnation at the New Norway area in Brooklyn. At first it was thought that Peter must have lost his way in the subways, for at 2 o'clock he failed to put in his appearance. He was a stagnation at the same place at the number of telegrams had been sent and phone calls made, no trace could be found of either the red-head-ordishman or his manager. Runout powder pure and simple. One thing is that the land of the stay in New York State the DUE DENES will get him. COLUMN has received information to the effect that two prominent Raby Joe Game and Young Harry Will—the latter who only a few days ago put the skids under the water, and the lilflower fixture out that way, will pick up snakes and work their way up the stairs. Steppowen will be made in Seattle, Wash.; Portland, Ore.; St. Paul and Pendleton, N.C., and ponding. Baby Jee is a lightweight, and a good one, and Young Harry is a westerweight. They probably will be applying for boxing licenses, but just the same they'll be a welcome addition to the half of whom are starving to death (hetically speaking) for the want of work. Maybe Young Harry and Taddy will fare better than the home boys.

PETER B. THE august father, familiarly called the THREE DUMB DUMB, were mum on the altarion acted as the guardian in the quantity whether it would be the best thing to let Samuel feel all the jack (as he did) to the action of the THREE DUMB DUMB and Goo, W. Harris, an appointed trustee of the DUMB DUMB, will no doubt remind the FATERS it is his jack and would like very much to cauliflower farm somewhere down EAST. It is abparent by the DUMB action they felt that Samuel would not do that. SOMEHOW, this column has a premonition that when Samuel was born when one or more benefit shamans carry him back to a few years ago when one or more benefit shamans out of the cauliflower realm, but to use Samuel's own words, "it was the bank and money in the HAND IS WORTH TWO IN THE BUSIL." SANUEL didn't mean to infer that the DEKES would misappropriate the fundraiser a kindly attitude towards them for their interest and the part they played in making the fundraiser come under their sanction, but he claims that the aliened NATIONAL SPORT ALLIANCE comes a psychologist, where finance is concerned, especially when he happens to be THE PARTY OF THE FIRST PART. It is this column's own personal opinion that Samuel, had he got his mite from the bank, would a dollar in a cauliflower farm and would be broke within the next six months.

THE artilful dodging tactics of the champion of Miller. He can find more excuses than a book agent. His latest is that killer himself infiltrates the box in an indefinite period. However, he is necrotizing with an English promoter to box Tommy Milligan over there in the near future. THE world has seized seen a more willing champion than Flower. From February to December, giving Grew a return match in a few months after the title 60 days and fought once, but it is only a question of time when Flower.

GREAT JOCKEY PASSES AWAY --- Willic Simms, One of the Best Riders of His Time, Buried Today ASBURY PARK, N. J., Feb. 25. - Arrangements were completed today for the funeral of William Sims, Negro jockey, who rode the winning horses in many famous races from 1892 to 1900 and who died of pneumonia at his home, 1267 Washington street, Ashbury Park, Saturday. Services will be held Wednesday. He rode the Kentucky Derby in 1898 riding "Bou Brush," and he won the same feature in, 1898 on "Paulit." --- In 1894 Simms rode "Dobbins" to victory in the Dwyer Stakes in Brooklyn; in 1896 on "Ben Brush" he won the Latonia Derby, and in the same year he rode to victory in the Carlton Stakes at Gravesend on "Don De Oro." In 1897 and 1898 he won the Brighton Handicap, the first time on "Ben Brush" and then on "Ornament." Also, in 1897, he won the Suburban Handicap at Sheepshead Bay, riding "Ben Brush" and in the same year, on "Octagon" he won the Dwyer Stakes again in Brooklyn. Simms was a member of the New York Jockey Club and the Asbury Park Lodge of Elks, and was reputed o have made a fortune as a jockey. He was 17 years old and lived with a widowed mother. EASTN LEAGUE GETTING ACTIVE Nutter Loop Will Crowd in 120 Games by Using Neutral Parks By using well-considered plans the Commissioners of the Eastern Colored League have developed a way to increase the 1927 pennant chase to 120 games, almost doubling any schedule that has been attempted in prior years. The movement has been prompted and may be attributed to at least two distinct reasons. The field of independent clubs of this section that has always supplied a substantial number of paying contests in addition to league games has dwindled until but few of these freelances remain in business. Then, too, the interest of the fan has been keen for league contests, the team may behind the game are zealously in earnest to put organized ball over on a higher scale. But discretion must be exercised and, in order not to overload the present parks with too much baseball, the new system will be put in order. Already the league officials have made arrangements to lease parks at Richmond and Norfolk, Va. These cities were tried out with exhibition contests the past season with very gratifying results, and the well-appointed parks of the Virginia league teams in these cities will be used. Both places have a large colored population and no representative team in the professional ranks. In order to get the best of the opportunity of the circuit the city of Washington, D.C. is being investigated and an effort will be made to include this city in the loop. In addition to Mount Holly, the league will cater to the popular seashore resorts along the Atlantic Coast. With the Bacharachs holding forth at the "Playground of the World," Atlantic City will, of course, be one of the cogs in the league's circuit. Parks have been obtained at Wildwood and Ashbury Park, N. J. The Cuban Stars will very likely use the park at Ashbury Park as a home stand for Alex Pompea's inwarding islanders, and the National League Park, N. J. is being bid for open Sunday dates by the senior owner of the Cuban outfit. Since the Royal Giants acquired a park in Brooklyn last season, all of the clubs have home parks, and the schedule makers will be in for a busy season when they frame the first half. Baltimore Red Circles Lose Two to Bordentown BORDENTOWN, N. J., Feb. 26— The Red Circle five of the Baltimore M. Y. C. A. pushed Bordentown hard of their home court last week, and the team lost at 2:38 the last few minutes, and barely losing out in the overtime period by a 23-30 score. On the larger court at Bordentown last night they found themselves at a disadvantage, and the Jersey school boys found handy at 25-18. In the preseason at Bordentown, the Celtics, Bardstown, lost an exciting contest to the Bordentown "Cubs" 18-8. The midget teams showed remarkable passing and guarding ability. WELL KNOWN RIDER DIED AT ASBURY PARK Chips Along the Cinderpath LAST week the meritorious committee of the Milrose A. A. announced the three names of the athletes selected whose performances at its recent indoor carnival in Madison Square Garden were the most outstanding. The committee this year consisted of several well-known athletes and coaches and apparently Kirby of the Olympic Committee; Paul Pilgrim, of the N. Y. A. A. C.; Major Pat. Walsh, Metropolitan A. A. U.; Albert Geiges, of Boston; Col. Chas. J. Dieges, official tuner; Fred. W. Rubain, secretary of A. A. U.; Tom Keane, or Syracuse U. and Lawson Robertson, head coach of U. of P. BY its decision Paul Harrington, pole vaulter of the Boston A. A., was given first place on the Wanamaker International Trophy for the most meritorious performance of the evening. Alan Helffrich, N. Y. A. C., mid-distance star, received second place, while Charlie Major, the St. Bonaventure College sensational high jumper, was rated as the third ranking performer of the night. IN winning the pole vault, Harrington soared over the bar at 13 feet 1 inches, which, in our opinion, would have been considered superb had not Charley Hoff, the Norwegian athlete, exceeded this height on eight occasions. The Beantown athlete's performance is about eight times better than his performance excepted indoor record is 13 feet, but that is due only to the selflessness of the A. A. U. in not accepting the foreigner's mark as a record. All conditions necessary for competition involving a possible record were present on the occasions that Hoff competed. If an athlete is declared the winner, his performance previous to this declaration be invalidated. It must be shown that he was the class leader Sabin Carr of Yale even bettered Hoff's mark, which tends to detract from the achievement of the Boston athlete. LAN HELFFRICH deserves some commendation for winning the Milrose 600, making it his fifth consecutive victory in this event, but there were other performers during the night whose achievements buttered him and landed. Then we must take into consideration the fact that his task was to win the first lap, which also included. He did that half-miler and record holder, who was expected by many to defeat the former Penn Stater, fell on the first turn, also hampering the chances of Phinky Sobar, another favorite, who stumbled over Martin. No doubt, he argued that Helffrich also ran the last leg on the N. X. A. winning record, but he was comfortable lead that a high school runner could have retained the premier position. His time in winning the "600" was a full second slower than that of last year. CHARLIE MAYOR'S feat in winning the running high jump at 6 feet 5½ inches, to our mind, appears to be the most spectacular of the three chosen. Few expected to see Charlie beat Osborne, much more to see the young freeman soar to such heights, known only to the schoolmaster. Only on one occasion has Osborne done better than 6 feet 5½ inches, he made his leap he was only ½ of an inch behind the world's record of 6 feet 5½. His achievement was accomplished over the new standard high jump adds to the merit of his performance, since they are said to be that the meet that are in a position to make such assertions claim that the meet that are used by Osborne are unfair, in that the jumper while clearing the jump one of his fingers; whereas the elon Bonaventurian is a clean, straight-jumper. That Osborne on that night on which the new standards were used for the first time did not even land among the point scorers. THESE "wise-heads" of the amateur athletic world recently overlooked the texture of this promising youngsters' performance whose career is still in its infancy. Though we are not in a position to vie career in athletics, our athletes we feel that their decision showed a slight partiality. The athletes who have a little more significance than the mere selection of an athlete whose performance during a track meet was considered the most meritorious. It is to be remembered that this year the National A. A. U. championships will be held in New Orleans. There are several colored athletes who are looked upon by their respective events besides other potential champions whose application championships honor will require their participation in this meet. When the merit was made that the "champs" were given to the southern city of the A. A. U. of possibly colored clubs in this city reminded the heads of the A. A. U. of possibly colored clubs below the Mason-Dixon Line. Assurance was given by the governing body that full protection would be given the colored performers. Of course, the grateful for the apparent interest, but we we've not forgotten that many grateful for the women here the one that made us such intriguing promises. We hope the column will not feel that we are seeing things through the eyes of a person, but we are only forewarning intending participants and club officials to take all necessary precautions to forestall any trouble. G. S. MOORE, the newly crowned one-mile and 1,000 yards Niagara champion, flashed some of his championship form in winning the championship, faced some of the American Legion games last Tuesday in one Boston, Gus, during the brief collegiate career, has already established an enviable record. His more points for his alma mater on this season than any other in at St. Bonaventure College. At the Niagara champion, a few weeks ago, he was 1,060 yards record that had been in existence for a few years. All during the season, with exception of one meet, he has always finished in the money. With such performances, and only a freshman, Gus will become as popular in college circles as he was in scholastic circles. ONE of the biggest unsets in interscholastic competition came last Saturday at the Manual Training, when Herbert Sims, D. S. A. L. chomp, failed to win the century. This event, together with McDonald, of Holy Prep School, Brooklyn. When the Brooklynite, the national interscholastic championships for the yards title man, succeeded his victory to Sims' slow start, but felt certain that at a lower level, Stuyvesant had "milled him down" his strong finish. Apparently, the theory didn't work last Saturday. However, Collins of the downstream team, will most likely centralize his attention on the start, and we hope Herbie will soon have the lad from across the bridge listed among the defeated. CLAUDE "RANDY" TAYLOR, of Tufts, has discarded his football tongs, only to find a much glory awaiting him on the boards. At the American Legion game, he took second to Hussey in the Yard dash, and beat Morrill, the University sensational spinner. "Handy" is well known in this city, the University football prowess while playing on the Stuyvesant team. During the football season he was one of the stars on his team. His return to the track deserves to be lauded, and we hope his success will continue. THE process of the colored athletes at St. Bonaventure College is causing a great deal of favorable comment. The upstate college was part unknown until Major, Moore and Ottley began flying its color. For the first time, probably, the Catholic school acquired four championships six of these were the results of the colored athletes. The fact that there are six colored students on the register makes it more remarkable. Many people are beginning to wonder if the school is a colored institution. No, but the colored lads have put the school on the map. MOORE STILL MAKING GOOD Coast Battler in Great Battle at the Broadway A. C. Monday Night As we predicted in these columns when first, we gave Jimmie Moore the once over, the Coast battler has the goods and continues to prove that our guess was a good one. Last Monday night Moore went in against Peter Williams at the Broadway A. C. in Brooklyn, and won a great battle after being placed at a disadvantage. No sooner had the first round started than Moore received a many cut over his left eye which bled profusely. Williams had succeeded in butting the colored boy and practically making him blind in one eye. The colored fighter did not worry about the cut and was more concerned with what the reference would do if the bleeding continued. He continued to battle brilliantly and in the third round sent Williams to the floor for the nine count. Again he had his opponent woozy in the fourth, just as the bell saved him. In the fifth Moore methodically continued the punishment he was meeting out to the white fighter, and such a pasting did he administer the referee was forced to stop the bout to save Williams. An attempt is being made to match Moore with Dave Shade or some other good fighter in the Walker A. C. Fans patronizing Harlem Club will see a mighty good fighter when Moore crawls through the ropes to meet some other good boy. MISS J. MARJORY ROBINSON'S Kindergarten (Winter Term) Coachmen's Union League Blds 282 WEST 138th STREET Phone Brachurst 7199 NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 2. 1927 GUS MOORE WINS AGAIN GUS MOORE WINS AGAIN --- Sweden's Greatest Middle Distancer Also Scored Triumph Last Week BOSTON, Feb. 23—Edwin Wide, Sweden's greatest middle distance runner, celebrated his 325st birthday here last night by easily outrunning his field in a special 3,000 meter run, feature event of the American Legion's annual indoor games. The best distance runners in New England were given liberal handicaps in an effort to provide competition, but Wide raced through the field to cover the distance in 8:49 2-5. 20 seconds slower than Nurmur's marking. Runners on the other side slipped around the 185s, caps of the East armory until more than half a mile to go he had missed the last of his rivals. Bill Dooley, of Harvard, was the last man to attempt to stave off Edvin's challenge. Starting with a bandage of 120 yards, Dooley held his lead until the third from the final lap when Wide passed him with no apparent effort. Dooley was able to hold for 40 yards to the bad. Paul Kanyan, with a start of 140 yards, was third, nearly a lap to the bad. William McKillop's great spurt in the final lap gave the Boston College athlete a sensational victory in the Col. Gaston 600 yard run. McKillop tore past Frank Burns, of Holy Cross, Pinky Sober, of the Dooley, and John Winslow, of Columbus Council, K. of C., Brooklyn. McKillop's time was 1:15 2-5. Burns was second, Sober third and Lally fourth. Gus Moore, the former colored star of Brooklyn Boys' High School, now representing St. Bonaventure's College, succeeded out one of the closest victories of his career, the fictional life of an inch separated Moore and Allison Wills, of Bates College, New England intercollegiate mule champion. Moore and Wills ran shoulder to shoulder throughout the distance and on the last lap Moore unscored a furious sprint. Wills staged a counter spurt a few minutes home from him, him in even terms with the colored flyer. Moore's time was 4:11.15. RASH HANDS OUT PASTING Eddie Boyer Stages Uphill Battle That Earned Him a Draw Kid Rash, 363th Regiment scraper, outpointed Tommy Aboba, 102d Medical Corps, Filipino, in the six-round semi-final at the bouts of the Twenty-seventh Division Train Armory last Thursday night. Aboba tried hard, but the cleverness, ring generalship and left hand of Rash were too much him. Rash scaled 115; Aboba, 119. The first session went to the Filipino by virtue of his aggressive tactics, but in the second Rash struck his left hand into Tommy's face so often the crowd began to count with his punches. Rash capped this round easily. The third was even, with the 102d Medical boxer still keeping his unorthodox mitt working fast, while Aboba got over some good fight. Rash copped the fourth and fifth, while the final canto was even. San Filipo of the 102d Medical Corps fought an interesting six-round draw with Eddie Boyer of the 369th. Filipo, a southpaw with a puzzling crouch, had the colored boxer in a quandary as to how to fight him. This did him the style and even the score for the earlier rounds. Boyer weighed 138, while Filipo weighed 136. Much Talked About Picture at the Lincoln "We're in the Navy Now" Will Be Shown Commencing Thursday Haunting memories of 1917—long column of stern-faced marching men—flags waving—cheering crowds—newspaper headlines—khaki and blue side by side. Into this seething whirlpool are cast fortunes Hatton, Beary Beyron and Hatton, prizefighter and manager. In their latest Paramount comedy effort, "We're in the Navy Now." While the rushing impact of great armies reverberated around the world, a second battle brooded in the dimly lighted arena of an eastern seaport. However, the sling of a gong merely served as an introduction to the comedy and drama which engulfed the prize belligerents as they plunged NEW ROCHELLE, Feb. 23.—The fast stepping Carilile basket team of Washington, D. C. fresh from victory in New Haven, Conn., on the previous night, continued to show the folks hereabouts that, travelling or at home, Carilile can hold its own. They defeated the Orientalis, New Rochelle's pride and best. The game, a hummer throughout, made the hearts of the spectators full. Like the purpose of an automobile engine. Even the referee, who was so excited, declared it was the hottest game he had refereed this season. It must have been, for he was pretty bad at times. The score; Carilile 24, Orientals 22. OUR BOYS SAY GET 'EM EARLY And Jimmy Scott, of the 369th, Made Navy Man Sing "Asleep in the Deep" Jim Scott of the 269th knocked out Joe Lung of the U. S. Navy in the second round of a six-spot at the Flushing Armory last Thursday night. Lung was sent to the canvas several times before being floored for the full count. The pair are lightweight. Johnny Turner of the 102d Medical Regiment, 123½ pounds, outpointed Tommy Zinno of Flushing, 12S, in another six-rounder. In the opening six Tommy Francis of Flushing knocked at Willie Doyle of Fort Jay near the end of the opening session. A right cross trimed the trick. Doyle weighed 13S, with Francis a pound heavier. Nick De Salvo, National Guard bantamweight champion, got the bronze medal in a boon with Eddie Enso of the Brooklyn Naval Militia. In the eight-rounder. Joe Curry of Fort Jay, weighing 124 pounds, knocked out Buddy Rogers of the. 102d Medical. Regiment, 125 pounds, in the last round of the eight-round semi-final.

Curry followed this with a series of lefts and rights and put Rogers away with a right to the chin. Only thirty seconds remained when the knockout came.

It was nothing to it in the bout that brought together Bruce Flowers and Alex Hart, down at the Walker A. C. last Saturday night. Nothing to it but Bruce Flowers, and it was all Flowers from the start of the fight to when they called time out to give Hart a chance to find that he was up against the latest corner. The Philadelphiaian tried hard to stop the winning streak of the colored lad, but try as he would it was no go, and Flowers gave him an neat a shellbacking as has been administered to the many victims falling before the boy now being boosted for a championship chance. Of course, had Flowers happened to have been born with a pale face he would have had his chance long before, in the fight against Ham he must defend himself against every ham and his brother sent in against him. Dixie Diamond, an old campaigner of the days when Jess McMahon smiled benevolently on the aspirations of a number of colored pugillets, again met his Waterloo when he lost the decision to one Jack Karkish, whom our beloved typewriter was most like Katsan we had started out by calling this latter gentleman just that, even in our headlineas.

WHITE K.O.'S MOSKOWITZ --- Ted Moses Scores Two Knockouts at Columbus Council Boxing Show Sam White, unattached colored battler, sprung a big upset at the Columbus Council, R. of C., amateur boxing show last Wednesday night when he knocked out Dave Moskowitz, of Beecher's Club, and the present metropolitan weter champion, in the second round of a special bout. The time was 1 minute and 48 seconds. White was the aggressor from the opening bell, dropping Moskowitz four times in the first round. After peppering his rival with left jabs and handing him some severe body punishment, White toppled Moskowitz with a short, snappy uppercut for a count of three. When Dave arose, he went down for another short count under a smashing right. On his next trip to the canvas, Moskowitz remained horizontal until nine was tolled off. The bell ended the fourth count at six. White battered the champion from pillar to post in the second session and when he had Moskowitz reeling around the ring he tore in and ended the bout with a left uppercut, followed by a wicked right. George Goldberg, a cocky little 118-inch representing Beecher's club outboxed George Barrett, of the Ozark A. C., in the other special contest. Ted Moses, a colored boy from the Astoria Cazey, scored two knockouts in winning the laurels in the 147-pound class. He disposed of James Malrod.

Mr. Hughes' Second Volume, "Fine Clothes to the Jew." Has Just Been Published. The Reproduction of the Above Picture and the Article of Mr. Walter F. White Are Through the Courtesy of the New York World. The Growth of a Poet Langston Hughes Evokes Stirring Emotions From the Life of His Race By Walter F. White It is probable that most of the sophisticated and near-sophisticated have by now heard Bessie or Clara Smith sing either in the flesh or on phonograph records one or more of the infinite number of songs known as "blues." If the prospective reader of Langton Hughes "Fine Clothes to the Jew" (just published by Alfred A. Knopf) or his earlier "The Weary Blues" has not heard at least one of these songs as sung by a Negro singer, I urgently recommend that he do so before tackling the poems. For the blues are strictly limited both as to poetic pattern and meaning. As the name suggests, the blues are not of our despair. Almost always there is expressed some idea of suicide through drowning or "laying ma head on de railroad track." In inevitably the repetition of a single emotion in time grows monotonous and often triteness cannot be avoided because there are few chances to be rung on the blue theme. The human voice of a Bessie Smith is needed to transmute and vary the subtle overtones and in that manner give the needed variety. So, too, is the form rigidly fixed, one line repeated and a third line to rhyme with the first two. In a paragraph Mr. Hughes explains that "sometimes the second line in repetition is slightly changed and sometimes, but very seldom, it is omitted. The mood is most often depended upon but when they are sung people laugh. Frequently they are caught up in a profound emotion in a single line. Take, for example, two stanzas of Mr. Hughes "Homestick Blues." in which both of these songs are sung. It may be questioned, however, how much further blues can be utilised as poetry because of its rigid limitations. Out of the blues form it is possible and probable that a more inclusive poetic form may develop, but that form would not be blues as the term is now interpreted. It will be interesting to watch these changes, as they are developed by Mr. Hughes and others who may follow him in the growth of either a more universal medium of expression or a broadening of the scope of the moods themselves. Mr. Hughes' friends and admirers may perhaps have some apprehension, but too diligent working of this vein may cramp him or lessen the fine, flowing, esthetic sense of rhythm which he so undoubtedly possesses. For he has seen the immense store of material for poetry which is in the life of the Negro. When he leaves the more confining form of the blues Mr. Hughes evokes magnificently stirring emotions from the life of Negro porters and prostitutes and others of humble estate. For example, take the last ten lines of this poem, "Brass Spittoons": Hey, boy! A bright bowl of brass is beautiful to the Lord. Bright polished brass like the cymbals Of King David's dancers. Like the wine cups of Solomon. Hey, boy! A clean spittoon on the alter of the Lord. A clean, bright spittoon all newly polished— At least I can offer that. Com' mere, boy! WOULD like to quote several other poems and give in Mr. Hughes own words the fine flavor of his new book—poems to "Luby Corbett," "Prayer Meeting," "Magnolia Flowers," "Song for a Dark Corbett," "Hughes or two or three others equally fine. But that would be fair given that Hughes nor his publisher, for then there would be some who would book that should be bought and one that will grow upon its readers in its evocation of beauty and rhythm and color and warmth. And if the reader has heard Clars or Mamie Smith croon and moan the first eight and the last nine poems in "Fine Clothes to the Moon" seem as monotonous as they perhaps might otherwise be judged.

IN ORDER to ascertain how many of our people today are conscious of the accomplishments of famous Negro men and women, a list was prepared and submitted to thirty-two colored people in Brooklyn, N. Y. On the list were twenty-nine famous Negroes, selected at random. Some of the answers were astoundi- NEXT in importance in the world of finance to the steamship, railroad, banking and its allied branches, comes that most modern of all forms of finance — insurance. The particular form of insurance in which the collar citizen is interested is life insurance. This is important to the Neuro for the reason that he, being farthest down in the wage scale of America, is most likely to reach old age and death without enough to defray his burial expenses and leave his family with enough to make a start after their bereavement. It is for this reason that the colored man has been the football of the white insurance companies. They have charged him higher premiums; they have cheated him out of his lawful indemnities; they have lied about him; they have refused in many cases to insure him, and have, in many cases, after he has died, cheated his family out of the indemnity to which he was entitled. Take the case of the chief company doing business among Negroes in the City of New York—the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. This company insures the Negro at a higher premium rate than it insures most white people; charging as much as 7 per cent more on Negro risks. Although this company has more than 60,000 policy holders in Harlem among Negroes, it WHO'S WHO AND WHO AIN'T and may be called a fundamentalist with modernist tendencies. That the Christian church as a whole is apostate to the principles of the Founder is a widely accepted belief. The World War furnished proof ample of this proposition. Let the theological adepts, if they can point out upon what concept of Jesus this titanic struggle was waged. Christ cautioned that you test of the Christian creed is severely logical. The so-called is severely logical.

And I did not choose "dumb-bells," either. The VICTOR Insurance Company Comce to H By EDGAR M. GREY — Edgar M. Grey — has refused year after year to employ Negro agents or collectors. It has even refused to employ a Negro doctor to examine applicants in the Harlem section. Now a colored life insurance company has qualified under the laws of the State of New York and has established offices in Harlem at No. 2210 Seventh ave nue. The strides which this company has made are nothing short of wonderful. Established in March, 1924, in Chicago, with a capital of $100,000 and a surplus of $50,000, in the first year of its operation it actually received more than $750,000 in business. So enthusiastic was the response of the colored people of Illinois that, after eleven months of operation, the company invaded other States. Dr. P. H. M. Savory, vice-president of the company says: "The impressed with their moral consistency. A nation which boasts billions on top of billions need not expect the heathen mind to heed the preachment "lay not up treasures on earth." When Christians lynch other Christians because of the color of their skin, they need not deceive themselves that they are doing the will of Him whom they call master. I spoke to a white audience recently on Christianity and race: pointed out to them the amazing inconsistency between the professed principles and actual practice of the ordinary white Christian. If Jesus should come to Washington, the capital of the greatest extant Christian nation, under the guise of a colored man, how would he be received? The Christian prophetor of the great hotel would slam the door in his face. The Christian restaurateur would give him no meat; the prophetor of the drug store would give him no drink; he would find no welcome in a single white Christian home. If he sought Christian fellowship and made application for membership in any one of the churches which he died to establish, the prious priest who worships in his name would point him to some little colored church around the corner, courteously pointing out that this church is for white Christians only to the exclusion of communicants of his color. The attempt to reconcile Christ and caste, creed and color is a hopelessly impossible undertaking. The white Christian may majority, as far as I could judge, were above mediocrity. I approached them without previous notice and asked them how many names on the list of famous colored people they were able to identify. The thirty-two persons I asked included five college students, six high-school students and one elementary pupil. one optometrist, three ministers, one newspaper editor, one dietitian, one magazine editor, one college professor, one housewife, two realtors, two factory workers, three machinists, one shipping clerk, one journalist, one electrician and a clerk for a subway condition company.

It was my good fortune to hear the late William Jennings Bryan in what I believe was his most important pronouncement upon this great theme. It was while he was on his western lecture tour in 1920, at Twin Falls, Idaho. He stated that Darwinism had undermined the faith and morals of the rising generation. There has raged bitter controversy about this proposition. Modernists and fundamentalists have arisen, each defending his view with hearts of controversy. But so far no one has yet undertaken to dispute, much less to refute. Bryan's basic proposition. I am an avowed evolutionist and have been ever since I was in my teens, and yet to me the lamentable fact is too painfully apparent. Science, whether rightfully or wrongfully interpreted, has frustrated the religious belief of the rising generation. It has weakened the authority of the Bible. VHO A By LIONEL L. By LIONEL L.

In order to do this, it was necessary that the company meet certain definite requirements laid down by the Insurance Commission of the State, all of which were met. as our fathers interpreted it, without putting any other interpretation, with like sanction, in its stead. Darwinism will doubtlessly prevail. Science will win, as it always has done, in its historic conflict with religion. The church will sooner or later find a way to interpret the teachings of science satisfactorily to the claims of religion. But the period of transition will experience great religious reaction and lapse from the faith of the fathers. It seems that the offense needs come; but woe unto that generation by which it cometh. If we could take a census of the actual, bona fide religious belief of young people in our high schools and colleges today, it would startle the elders almost beyond recovery. This is just as true of the Negro as of the white youth. A deeper indoctrination in the physical and spiritual basis of things may restore the old foundation or perhaps lead to a still firmer basis for higher and better things. This is the only hope. "A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep or taste not the Pleasant Spring. There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain. But drinking largely sobers us again." Our youth today are in the intoxicated stage. They get but a emuating of science and are not yet able to relate it to the whole equation of life. But we cannot afford to imitate Bryan and deny them science altogether because ND W RICHARDSON "Who is he, pray?"

We must rather rely upon the sobering effect of the larger draught which will come with time. We decrie the mad rush after wealth and pleasure as the dominant passion of our day. This is because the imagination is not dominated by a more fascinating ideal. Herein lies the task of religious statesmanship. It is needless to enter into any loud denunciation of the degenerate tendency of the time. You can never reform the heart and character of youth by condemnation; but they must be shown a more excellent way. Have our religious leaders the ability to do this? Let me now speak more specifically of the state of affairs of the Negro church. I must first qualify as an expert. I presume that I have met with the ministry in all parts of the country as generally as any other living Negro layman. I have been "equally acceptable to all denominations and have addressed ministers' meetings practically everywhere. The Negro church partakes of the general apostasy of the times. This is true of the laymen rather than of the clergy. There is not an avowed Negro modernist in America. If so, he must need keep his modernity in the back part of his mind for the good and sufficient reason that the older half of his congregation would repudiate him utterly. But the younger generation is shot through with the newer interpretation. There is an almost impossible task to hold them enthusiastically to the same mode of interpretation which the old denomination, was a writer for The Amsterdam News, while another asserted that he was a musician. Marcus Garvey was greeted by a St. John's College student as "one of those bigtime boys who founded the U. N. I. A." H. O.

The Negro clergyman deserves great sympathy in the dual tasks of such great spiritual complexity. The new issue has little or no spiritual passion: the older element demands little else than passionate presentation. How to quicken in the product of the high school and the college to the moral and spiritual enthusiasm which actuated their less educated forebears? Here is the rub. If one attend the conferences and general meetings of our great denominations, he will be impressed with the thought that their energies are almost wholly engrossed with raising money and secular connection activities. There is little spiritual vitality. The Negro churches, except the Baptist, are scarcely more than holding their own. I have been in Washington for more than forty years. The Negro population has more than doubled itself. The Negro churches, either in numbers or spiritual force, have made little or no headway since 1890. All of our great cities are being baptized, while the other denominations are looking on.

For two or three years all of the higher officers of the company have given their services free. The driving power back of the whole machinery of the Victory Life is a man just entering his 60th birthday. Anthony Overton has under his supervision and upon the payroll of the Victory Life 305 men and women whose aggregate earnings amount to more than $350,000 per year. Mr. Overton is also president of the Douglas National Bank and the Overton Hygienic Company, both of Chicago. Whatever may be the future of the company, it has come to a city where it is most needed. Some of us may recall the time when the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company purchased the Niagara Life, a company which had, from the time of its establishment among colored people, employed colored collectors. The Metropolitan Life cut off these colored men when it took over that company, but continued to collect thousands of dollars in premiums on insurance written by them. Coming to Harlem of the Victory Life, which may soon be followed by the Northeastern Life of Newark, marks an epoch in the business progress of the Negro. Buncombe To Mr. Edgir M.

The highest test of religious advancement is to be gauged by the impression which it makes upon the minds of the rising generation. The older ones among us will be soon gathered with the elders. The religious estate must soon fall into the hands of those who are now coming on. Will they have the spiritual equipment to manage it? Who would like to hazard the future of the Negro churches in Washington to the young men now in the Dunbar High School, or those of Baltimore to the product of the Frederick Douglas High School, or those of any other city to the rising intelligentsia. We are greatly concerned over the disquieting reports and rumors of misdeeds in high and low ecclesiastic circles. If those who now bear the burden of moral and spiritual leadership of this race of ours hope to have the best brains and character in the race take hold of the work which they must shortly lay down, they must beckon to them with clean hands and pure hearts. tion Gleaned to the Hayes Is a Violin-allen a Writer for Durdam News tator and pioneer, were the least known of them all.

A Wiki管理员 Cracker could do better—surely he would not do worse. Moreover, there isn't any relationship or integrity throughout the entire article. You know very well that this is an economic civilization. A man's social standing, even his greatness, is determined by his wealth. How much money he earns, everything depends on the number—number of dollars. Why go back to slavery—formal slavery. You talk about slavery. In the real sense of the word, are we not still in slavery? We are in economic slavery; in a philosophical sense we are in a worse state of slavery today than ever. Therefore, the Negro's scornfulness is natural. According to our present civilization the Negro is undivided—and this fact most Negroes know. Churchas, religion, spirituals, are all he has. Money, gold, silver, he has not, and these constitute civilization. The Negro's scornfulness is to be found in his present state of infidelity—not in the formal period. In conclusion, there is no need, whatsoever, to refer to "lighter" and "darker" Negroes, for these words hold beauty and glory for ignorant minds only. If you would do your duty—you and The Amsterdam News—write more articles like "Just Around the Corner." Herein is your salutation, mine and all other Negroes. You are, a "lighter" Negro.

No Inspection for His Meter So Court Fines Brooklynite for Refusing to Allow Inspectors to "Do Their Stuff" If an authorized representative of the gas company comes to your house to inspect the gas meter, let him in or you may get into the toils of the law. Charles C. Lovell, a real estate dealer of 47 Putnam avenue, found this out last week when he was fined $50 in the Court of Special Sessions. According to court attendants, fuses on similar charges are issued. According to inspectors of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, Lovell refused them access to the meter which they desired, see in order to learn if it and all connections were in working order. Lovell is charged with not only ordering the men out of the building, but when they did not move fast enough he is alleged to have used the axe and threatened to use it.

Men Peary's Polar Companion to Speak in Jamaica on March 8 The Men's Club of the Victoria Congregational Church, 148th street and Eighty-seventh avenue, Jamaica (white), have been fortunate in securing for their speaker on the evening of March 8 the only living person who has actually stood at the North Pole. This is Matt Henson, who accompanied Admiral Peary on every expedition during his eighteen years of tireless effort to reach the Pole. According to Captain Donald MacMillan, the famous Arctic explorer, who not only one of the best detection drivers in the world today, but possesses powers of endurance against the bitter cold and extraordinary hardships of Arctic exploration equalled by few men anywhere. In a recent talk over the radio, Captain MacMillan said: "Admiral Peary has been criticised for not taking a white man with him to the Pole, but, instead, four Eskimos and Mr. Henson. The latter went with the expedition to a point within 150 miles of the Pole, and when it was found that supplies could be taken for only two men besides the Eskimos in their last lap to the Pole. Peary picked the fittest man to accompany him. His choice was Matt Henson—the best man in the party for the extremely hard and hazardous job of making those long marches in a temperature sixty degrees below zero." For this unusually interesting evening the members of the club extend a most cordial invitation to all men in Jamaica. Mr. Henson's address will be given in the necessary hall of the church at 8 P. M. Jew Says His Race's Status Was Sane as Negro's "The case of the Negro in America can be likened to that of the Jew nearly one hundred years ago.

The Jewish Center has held the Brooklyn Jewish Center, 607 Eastern parkway. Thursday evening, February 17. Mr. Samuel further said: "In both cases humane feeling and treatment can be found, but the American Negro has not yet been accepted by America's citizenry. Down South, even in this era of progress and unblased understanding, the Negro is still distranchised. Samuel also spoke of the increase of the Jews throughout the world. He stated that approximately there were 3,000,000 150 years ago, and today there are over 11,000,000.

Brooklyn Familities Made Homeless by Fire Four families were made homeless on Monday, February 21, following a fire which caused damage estimated at $25,000 to a four-story brick tenement at 86 Lexington avenue. The blaze at the Lexington avenue tenement broke out on the ground floor at 2 p. m. and burned through the entire building, destroying the interior of the structure. Patrolman John Flood, white, of the Classon avenue station, discovered the fire and, after giving the alarm, routed the occupants of the building. Fire Lieut. John Connellly, in charge of the first apparatus to arrive, sounded a second alarm, bringing Deputy Chief John Davin. It took more than an hour to get the fire under control. The tenement is an eight-family house. Four of the apartments were unoccupied. John B. Mosley, the real estate dealer of 328 Cumberland street, is listed as the owner of the property. Dinner Party Downtown Mr. and Mrs. Pearson of 252 High street gave a dinner party last Sunday to a number of their friends. Among those present were Anna Freeman, Cassie Mitchell, Esther Mitchell, Hagen Kelly, Rose Reddick, Aurelia Holland, Marshall Wiggins, Gladstone Bartlett, Joseph Mitchell and Joseph Johnson. Gateman Held on Charges With Theft Joseph Harris, 39 years old, of 1342 103d street, Richmond Hill, employed by the Long Island Railroad as a gateman at the Benedict avenue crossing in Woodhaven, who is said by the police to be a drug addict, was held in $30,000 ball last week for a hearing before Magistrate Maguire in the Flatbush Court on a charge of petit larceny. "You are a fine type of a man to have in charge of a crossing." said the Magistrate. "And I understand the Benedict avenue crossing is one of the most dangerous in the Long Island area. Your record shows you are unable to protect yourself, and yet you are employed to protect the lives of others." Officials of the road said the record of every employee is checked as far as possible. They were unable to explain how Harris, who, the police said, had served several terms in the workhouse for possessing narcotics, was able to get a gate-tender's job. Harris was arrested on complaint of Thomas Hobson, proprietor of a store at 752 Fulton street, Brooklyn, who alleged the gate tender came to the store and took a woman's dress valued at $35. Nazarene Church The church was packed to the doors at both services last Sunday. At the morning hour Rev. A. L.

At the evening hour, Dean William Pickens gave his famous address on Abraham Lincoln, which was a discriminating discourse on the life of the great emancipator. Many visitors attended the service from various parts of the city, from some here Mrs. Mary Ross Swift '62 Boston, Attorney Sumner Lark, Mr. and Mrs. Mars. Nazarone Church was represented at the St. Paul's Congregational Church by Misses Elizabeth Balfour, Beatrice Walker, Marion Browne and Dorothy Coleman at the Young People's Meeting. The pastor will fill his pulpit at both services next Sunday, speaking at the morning hour on "The First of the Last Words of Jesus on the Cross," and at the evening hour on "Jesus and Judas."

Lexington & 4th Aves. --- Negro Laundry Workers of Chicago Negro Laundry Workers of Chicago WASHINGTON-Based upon a brief study made of several typical laundry plants, Negro laundry workers of Chicago appear to comprise approximately 65 per cent of the labor group employed in the city's massive laundries. This estimate is derived from a total working force of 625 employees of the particular establishments from which facts were gathered. Of this group 219 are white and 406 are colored; and of the last-named group female laundry workers constitute nearly 75 per cent. The survey, which was made by the Department of Labor's Negro representative in Chicago, disclosed the fact that a large proportion of the Negro laundry group was made up of workers who migrated to Chicago from the South during the past few years. The principal occupations engaged in by the Negro workers are those typical of general laundry work, on mangles, as washers, as starchers, shirt finishers, folders, etc. One employer reported six colored men "in charge" at this plant; while another reported "live who are 'foremen' or in some especially responsible position." Another laundry employer reported in his group of fifty Negro workers "three engineers and a watchman, seven washermen and wringermen, ten general workers, and thirty in the flatwork department." He regarded "seven as holding responsible places" at wages up to $40 per week. One plant reported a conciliatory arrangement whereby disputes and differences on the job could be considered and adjusted by a committee composed of representatives of the employer and of the workers. COMPARED WITH NEW YORK. Briefly compared with New York, whose Negro laundry group appears to be approximately 20 per cent of the work force at typical plants, Chicago appears to have a larger representation. New York appears to run in the ratio of 1.025 white to 2.52 colored, as against Chicago's 219 white to 406 colored. The New York laundry occupations reveal Negro workers as being engaged as ironers, ironing machine operatives, porters and washroom operatives, washers, receivers, shirt operators, flat work operators, wringermen, mangle operators, general helpers, shakers, feeders, checkers, taker-off, extractor men, drivers, etc. Wages in both cities appear to vary, according to weekly hours of service at each particular plant. Additional Brooklyn News Mr. and Mrs. Lamel Uriel, of Clifton place, both of whom have been ill in the past, is Mrs. Uriel. Mr. Hensley is senior vice-commander of the Admiral Philip Camp No. 18 of the United Spanish War Veterans. He is also a Mason.

A very interesting debate took place on Sunday afternoon, February 27, at The topic was: "Resolved. That the establishment of a Negro government in the United States is only practical solution of the Negro problem at the present time." The affirmative answer was from the Acme Club, which sided for the negative. The Sphinx was represented by Lloyd and Ivory Gibbons; the Acme by Miss Walker, Leonard Dashley and E. Wilthirah the Hines; and Mr. Pile, Mr. Louis A. Jeppe presided. The pedestrian has the right of way so long as he keeps out of the way—Philadelphia Inquirer. Mutual understanding and cooperation are the only forces which will satisfactorily tear down the wall of race prejudices, the Rev. Henry S. Leipel, associate secretary of the National Congregational Commission on Missions, said last Sunday at a race relations mass meeting held in Abyssinian Baptist Church. The meeting was under the auspices of the Harlem League of the Greater New York Federation of Churches. "We must cultivate positive means of getting rid of the walls of race prejudice." Mr. Leipel said. "Denouncing race prejudices is important, but it is more important to show how we can get along without them. If you merely pull down walls which you have proceed on account of their fears of other races, you do not remove those fears. People may become more bitter and desperate than when the walls existed. "We must cultivate personal relationships, round-table discussions, interracial conferences, all sorts of enterprises that will develop a group of people of different races who will understand each other—a liaison group. I would call them. The influence of such a group will rapidly spread in a community. "In a poem on walls, Robert Frost says that neighbors in most cases have walls between their places only because of tradition. An old proverb is that 'good walls make good neighbors.' Then he tells of two neighbors who started to build a wall together and changed their minds. As they were lifting a stone, one said, 'Something in nature, it seems to me, hates a wall; I wonder whether it may not be God.'" Jews Interested in Negro's Problems Speaking at a meeting of the American Labor Congress held at the recreation center, Mother Zion A. M. E. Church, Michael Gold, editor of the New Masses, said that as a Jew the problems of the Negro were very close to him, and to Jews in general. "In Poland there are race riots and we are lynched just as you are in the South. Even in America there is quite a deal of prejudice against Jews, the Klan including us in its trinity of hate. "I am an American and don't want to go to Palestine, and for this reason I hold that America, not Africa, is the best place for the Negro. Negroes must organize; that is their only hope. Your writers and poets and artists will help you, but not very much. The Jews in New York have great writers and thinkers, but it was not until the masses of their workers formed strong unions that they began really to better conditions." Lovett Fort. Whiteman, national organizer of the Congress, also stressed the need of unionization. "The Negro," he said, "has learned by now that ethical appeal has had no effect. A Negro was lynched in Alabama to celebrate Armistice Day." Whiteman told of a strike that occurred recently in Chicago among several hundreds of unorganized colored girls, and how the Congress appealed to the white unions, which joined in the fight by feeding the strikers and paying them half wages until the strike was won. A closer understanding between the white and colored workers was necessary, he said.

Wednesday, March 2. 1927 Negro-Owned Insurance Companies WHILE in our news and adverti mns will often be seen the phi WHILE in our news and advertising columns will often be seen the phrase "Negro insurance companies." there are, as a matter of fact, no such companies in New York State. The Victory Life Insurance Company of Chicago, which has recently been granted a license to do business in this State, is an insurance company owned and operated by Negroes, chiefly for the benefit of Negroes, but even all this does not make it a "Negro insurance company." THE SAME RIGID requirements which must be met by other insurance companies had to be met by the Victory Life before it was granted a license to do business here, and the State has thrown around the prospective policyholders of that company the same protection it throws around policyholders of other companies large or small, from the giant Metropolitan to the humblest company in the State. SIMILAR requirements may soon be met by the Northeastern Life Insurance Company of Newark, whose stock is now being offered for sale in the State and will be purchased by men and women of vision, who see in the insurance company a means of amassing Negro capital for service to enterprises conducted by Negro business men and property holders. ONCE a company operated by Negroes meets New York State's requirements, there is absolutely no reason why Negroes should not support it, and to greater advantage than that derived from companies operated by white people. NO MATTER what his occupation or profession; no matter what may be his financial standing; no matter what the condition of his health, the Metropolitan arbitrarily classifies all Negroes as industrial risks. This means that Negroes must pay more for the same amount of insurance than a white person. Companies operated by Negroes will practice no such discriminations and the result should be a saving to the policyholder in the amount paid in premiums. OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE are the many positions companies operated by Negroes will place at the disposal of deserving young Negro men and women positions which practically all white companies withhold from Negroes on the grounds of color and the stimulating effect successful Negro-owned insurance companies will have on other enterprises operated by Negroes.

THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNION has passed, without debate, but a dissenting vote, the John Forbidding masking in public orders of secret orders and press dissolution of organizations their memberships secret. EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES WITHOUT in any way seeking to reflect discredit upon the National Negro Press Association, which met last week in Chicago, The Amsterdam News is no longer a member of it, and its editor could not have been rightfully elected to its executive committee, as reported by Lester Walton in Sunday's World. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS sees a grave need for an organization similar in name to that of the National Negro Press Association, but with vastly different functions. It believes that such an association should concern itself with the collection and distribution of news and not in meeting once or twice a year to discuss questions which, after all is said and done, have but little or no effect on the progress of the Negro press. It believes that such an association should operate for the benefit of all of its members and not for the benefit of a few of them. It believes that membership should be vested in newspaper properties and not in individuals—many of whom have no connection with newspapers—and in officials who misuse the authority delegated to them, and misrepresent the conclusions reached by the association. ESPECIALLY is the latter statement true when national election time approaches; when The Amsterdam News has every reason to believe that officials and agents of the association barter away the prestige, good-will and opinion of the Negro press to political parties for their own gain; or when, in a fight like that being waged by the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, its weight is thrown in on the side of the Pullman Company, to the detriment of a worthy Negro organization. THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE SENATE has passed, without debate and without a dissenting vote, the Johnson bill forbidding masking in public by members of secret orders and providing for dissolution of organizations that keep their memberships secret. Cole L.

The Southern white man likes the Negro for more than one reason. He knows the Negro can be worked harder, longer, and for less (or no pay) than any other race on earth. The Negro is less entous of his white neighbor and more trustworthy than any other. During the days that have sunken deep into history pages he cleared the lands, dug the ditches and tilled the soil that has made fair and beautiful the land of the South, and under cheap wages made the cotton and corn grow that brought riches to the forbears of Cole L. Blease, and also made it possible for him to become a Senator of the United States. Why, then, should he not like the Negro race? Not only should he like the race, but he should do all in his power to secure for the Negro every right and privilege under the constitution of our country and not cease in his fight until he does secure it. He says: "Now, as to their voting; THEY DO NOT. I DO NOT KNOW THAT THEY WANT TO VOTE." If the Negroes of South Carolina do not want to vote they are a different lot from the Negroes of Jacksonville, of Florida, and the other states of the South. It may be among the things possible that he does not go to the polls to vote for the reason that he does not want to have a falling out with his white neighbor, or perhaps that he has a mighty distaste for the ride he may be forced to take from the polls, which might be "in a costly motor driven vehicle," but most likely it would be in the guise of the old-fashioned horse and wagon "contraption" with him riding "head forward." Again, he may not want to go to the polls, stand all day in line and when the sun begins to soak its resting place beyond the western horizon have to return home without having voted. Let it be known and understood that the Negro in the South wants to vote. He lives here and he contributes his share to the beauty and riches of the cities and country. He loves dear mother earth of the South with as much warmth as any man and he wants to advance in his pride and love for his Southern home. He wants to help rid the South of some of its traditions. He wants to help select the officials who hold office over him. He wants to fool that he is a free, American citizen. Let the Negro, therefore, vote. State Rights will not be interfered with any lynching will soon take wings and fly away from these sweet and sunny shores of America and leave in its wake a real and true home for the free and make it a land of the brave. -QUAKERS ONE may not doubt the genuineness of the religious conscience after one knows well "the Quakers." One of the best credential-one can have when crossing the suspicious frontiers between two discordant European states is to say: "I am going to the Friends' House, or to the Quakers' Center." Immediately the guardian of the frontier shows less suspicion of the "foreigners." For, if one is looking for the "Quakers," he must be at least a decent and reliable fellow. We had many illustrations of this during our stay and travels for two months in muddled northern Europe. The English are more suspicious about admitting strangers to their little island and that they have been in many generations, perhaps. That is a part of the legacy of the World War. But when we reached the port in south England, "Where are you going?" queried the Scotland Yard passport inspector, with considerable hesitation in his voice. We repiled: "My English address will be 'The Friends' House'——" The passport officer interrupted us with alacrity and a faint ring of relief in his tones: "Oh, the new place on Euston road." Good! And in five seconds he had signed our "alien lending card," without which no foreigner: may leave a ship and set on English soil. "To the Kwaeker Buero," we said in German, and immediately the German officers lost all interest in searching our bags for whiskey or cigars. The Poles are somewhat suspicious of the German frontier and awfully and disgracefully suspicious of the Russian borders. Journeying through Poland we encountered some young Poles, some of them members of the military, who could talk English. We were always frank and open about our journey to Russia, never concealing the fact that we were bound for Russia. These young fellows immediately set about to frighten us about the Bolsheviks. They told how almost impossible it would be to get "into Russia" and that it may be worse to set out. They spoke of the "dangerous experiment" of the Russian Soviet when we referred to it as an interesting experiment. They were a bit less suspicious of me because of my frankness and apparent unconcern, perhaps, but when they asked what I meant "to do there," I deliberately countered: "Well, in the first place I am going to visit my friends at the Quaker Center there." One of them remarked: "We have Quakers in Waraw. I felt them with: "The Society of Friends seems to be doing good work among all of you." "Yes," said one, with a grin; "those Quakers are all right; the only thing about them is that they are too good to those Russians." That indirect compliment was the finest he could have paid, for what it really meant was that the Society of Friends dealt impartially as between Poles and Russians. Stop and analyze his statement: he did NOT say that the Quakers were not good enough to the Poles, or that they were better to Russians than to Poles, but that they were too good to Russians to suit the Pole, who is an enemy to the Russians. One felt as the Pole spoke that the Poles really had greater respect for the Friends because they were impartial as between Poles and Russians. The complaint of the Pole was uttered with a grin and a tone of fecu-tionness. The young fellow was a college graduate and a journalist and no doubt thoroughly appreciated the weakness of his position. And in Russia, when a powerful political leader was explaining to me that Russia did not look with favor upon the invasion or intermeddling of foreign religious organizations for any purpose, implying that their motives were questionable, I spoke of the Friends in Borisoglebski street. Immediately he qualified his sweeping statement: "Well, the Quakers, of all the religious sects, are perhaps the most tolerable. They appear to do the service which they profess to be doing and do not middle with things that do not concern them. We would not ask even them to come in. But," he concluded, "they are the least undesirable of all." Not only on the Continent and at the frontiers, but also within the limits of the British Isles, where the Friends are only a small denomination, where they are reputed as "conscionent obJECTORS to war," and where many of them went to jail rather than to go to kill the "enemy." everywhere in England the word "Quaker" is a key to respect—from officers of law or from BY PAUL GREEN, published by Robert M.

Doubless six of Eugene O'Neill's one-act plays, or a dozen for that matter, would all be tragedies, for Eugene O'Neill is essentially a tragedian. But Paul Green has shown us that he has a light and lovely touch, and it is distinctly disappointing and lacking in verity to find his aspiring North Carolina Negroes always meeting failure. By no chance does anyone of his Negroes win through. One of the plays, "White Dresses," tells of the love of a light colored girl for a white man and of the impossibility of their ever indulging their passion, since, unknown to one another, they are half brother and sister. Another, "The End of the Row," also depicts the love of mulatto and white, this time of a girl of some education. She is hated by her companions because she knows more than they and she ends by giving herself to the white man. Two others. "The Prayer Meeting" and "The Hot Iron." have only Negro characters. But the gloom is thick here also. In the first, an old mammy sees all the younger generation go to destruction; in the second, the best play in the book, a wife and children are sacrificed to a brutal husband until at length—but I won't tell this ending, only that it is as frightful as it could well be made. Two scenes from "In Abraham's Bosom" are given here. As presented in New York, it is in seven scenes. The first scene, and the first play in the book, is an exquisite bit of artistry. Abraham wants to study and to teach and everyone but his wife hates his books and jeers at him. He travels "The Lonesome Road" without sympathy from his fellows. The Negroes close his school, only one little boy wanting to stay on. But I won't spoil the play by telling the story. Its ending is stark tragedy, As acted at the Provincetown, it has great moments, but it is monotonous in its hopelessness. The N. A. A. C. P. has been blamed often for drawing as tragic a picture as it does of the South, but Paul Green's section of North Carolina is worse than anything we have ever put into an annual report. Lynchings and burnings are sporadic, but thwarted ambition in "The Lonesome Road" is the rule. No one can rise from his deadening environment. Are there to be no new Negro themes? The light colored girl and the white man, how tired we are of them! The statement: "White blood coming to de top. Dat make him wanna climb up and be sumpn"—we have heard LETTERS even in savage South Africa, dare to stand against, the "color bar" law of the whites; who fed starving Russian babies when their own nations and other nations were ruthlessly attacking Russia—babies, painters and all. They have stoutly refused to be used as the enecles of any race or any nation. They have maintained that they are brothers to all the people of all the nations; that they will sacrifice for their country and go to jail for it, but that they will neither hate nor kill others for it. Because one of the most friendly of all Friends, John P. Fletcher of London, was arranging most of our lectures in Europe, we have had the opportunity of seeing the Friends at close range, and they have stood up well in the "close-up." In many places we, have shared their houses, with their wives and children and other friends. And they are not, as a rule, actors in an equality drama—they believe in and feel human equality with other people. And they are not a God-forsaken, long-faced lot of religious bigots, either; their young people are as merry and human and their older people as tolerant and good-natured as any people of any belief.

This is surely the talk of yesterday. I do not doubt that Mr. Green has seen all that he deplots. He tells us that he grew up to know well a bit of the farmland of North Carolina. But it is disappointing that a man who could write "The No 'Count Boy' should bring out such a volume as 'The Lonesome Road.' It is as sad as Eric Waldron's 'Tropic Death.' NEGRO WOMEN AVOIDING CHILDREN Despite the considerable increase in the Negro population and in the increase of the marriage rate, the actual number of Negro children under five years of age was less in 1920 than at any of the previous enumerations. In 1900 the number of Negro children under five years of age was 1,216,655, and in 1910 the number was 1,263,288; in 1520 it was 1,143,699. "And this, says Alice Dunbar Nelson, the noted Negro journalist, writing in the March number of The Messengre, a Negro magazine.

Keeping Fit By E. Elliott Rawlins, M.D. Are You Too Fat? PHYSIOLOGICAL fat constitutes 21 per cent of the tissues of the body. Under conditions of health fat is found in practically all animal tissues underneath the skin as well as within the cavities of the body. Fat is also stored in the muscles and the liver. When the fat constitutes more than 21 per cent of the body weight the person gets into the class of obesity. Know New York State An outdoor school for the study of natural history will be opened this summer in Allegany State Park to instruct public school teachers and others interested in outdoor life. Of thirty presidents of the United States, New York has furnished three: Martin Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, and Theodore Roosevelt. Of the country's 100 leading banks, New York City has twenty-seven, and the seven largest banks in the country are in New York City. The Empire State uses twice as much electricity as all Great Britain, which has four times her population. Our per capita use is now 1,000 kilowatt-hours a year, in 1910 it was 273 kw. h. In Greater New York City there are 436 farms, covering 10,457 acres. They are divided as follows: Queens, 191; Richmond, 158; Bronx, 41; Brooklyn, 40; Manhattan, 5. Ten thousand cubic feet of manufactured gas is the average individual yearly consumption in New York State. This is more than double the average for the country as a whole. In 1926 New York State forests sustained the lowest fire loss ever recorded. Only 1,740 acres were damaged, with a total loss of less than two thousand dollars. This amounts to one acre in each 5,000 of the Adirondack and Catskill reservations. Fred'k Douglass' Pen Given to N.A.A.C.P. The gold tipped pen with which Frederick Douglass wrote his autobiography has been presented to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, by Robert H. Blackall of New York City, and will be deposited in the Harlem Branch of the New York Library where the Arthur Schomburg collection of books by and about Negroes is now housed. In connection with his gift, Mr. Blackall wrote as follow: "My father, Berton F. Blackall, was responsible for getting Mr. Douglass into Canada from Rochester, N. Y. At that time he was superintendent of the B. & O. S. W. Telegraph Company at Rochester and overheard the message coming over the news wire immediately after which he got in touch with Mr. Douglass and got him over into Canada, to avoid being taken back South. The pen was taken to my mother, who left it to me when she died." Bars Haitian Labore WASHINGTON—According to a release just issued by the U. S. Department of Labor, the Secretary of Agriculture in Cuba is reported to have informed the Cuban Sugar Mill Owners' and Planters Association, which petitioned unrestricted authorization to import as many Jamaican and Haitian laborers as might be deemed necessary for the harvesting of the 1927 crop, that the Government cannot allow the free entry of such laborers except when it is absolutely necessary, and with the provision that the companies or persons bringing them into the country offer the necessary guarantee that as soon as the crop is harvested they will be repatriated. "Hayes Often Receives $3,200 Recital Guarantee" Figures based upon guarantees for one-night paid concert artists in cities around 300,000 population, as published by "Variety," the organ of the stage and screen, show that Roland Hayes often receives a nightly guarantee of $2,200 and that Paul Roberson often receives a guarantee of $1,250 per night. These two artists are ranked with such concert artists as John McCormack, Fritz Krehaler, Pardes慧琳, Mary Garden, Mme. Schumann-Heink and Geraldine Farrar. The McCormack guarantee is $5,000 per night. SURVEY OF COLLEGES PLANNED (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service.) WASHINGTON, D. C. A survey of 135 Negro colleges and universities will be made by the United States Bureau of Education, it has been announced. There are three food chemical classes that make fat—they are protein, fat and carbohydrates. These food constituents are necessary for the nutriment of the body, in its production of heat, energy and the internal work of metabolism. When the daily diet contains more food than is necessary for this heat, energy and work the excess is preserved in the body, stored up as it were, in the form of fat. There are people whose daily diet contains more protein, fat and carbohydrates than is necessary; these people grow fat, flabby and inactive. Foods when eaten are oxidized within the body through a chemical process and serve two functions, as tissue builders and source of energy. This energy is muscular work, internal work within the organs of the body and the production of heat. The various food constituents meet these needs in varying degrees. The formation and repair of body tissues are derived solely from protein, water and mineral salts of the food. Fats and the carbohydrates (starches). do not enter into this work of tissue repair and rebuilding; they produce heat and energy only. When the protein of food is present in excess of the quantity needed for tissue formation and repair it only can be utilized to make body heat and energy. Thus the fats and carbohydrates may be replaced under certain conditions by the protein of the food alone. The fat or adipose tissues of the body is chiefly formed directly from the fats, and indirectly from the starches taken in as food. A good rule to remember is that the ingestion of a quantity of food greater than that required by the body leads to an accumulation of fat and to obesity. This is especially so if the disproportion be continued over a considerable period. The causes for obesity come under three heads: 1. An increased food supply with normal expenditure of energy. 2. A normal food supply with diminished expenditure of energy. 3. Increased food supply with diminished expenditure of energy. To treat obesity it is necessary to find out under what class the obesity falls, and institute diet and exercise necessary for the class under which the person falls. The method of diet should be prescribed by a physician or physical instructor. There are several systems for reduction depending upon the work, the amount of obesity, the physical condition of the person.

RIO DE JANEIRO — "The colored population of the United States already counts into millions and is increasing more rapidly than the white population. The day will come when the colored man will dominate in numbers and will win over the whites at the polls, electing a colored president." Such is the prediction by Montoloro Lobato, Brazilian author, in his latest romance, "The Clash of the Races, or, The Negro President." The author claims that although his work is largely imaginative, most of it is based on statistics and close observation of conditions in the United States. The author announces an English translation of his book will come out in the United States in March. It is also being translated into German and French.
