The case was heard Monday morning before Judge Boettner of the First Criminal Court. Officers Silverman, Craney, Levin and Capehart, who made the arrest, appeared and testified. On a cross-examination by counsel representing Mr. Fultz, the officers admitted that Mr. Fultz committed no assault upon them and made no attempt to prevent them from arresting the prisoner. Mr. Fultz took the stand and testified that, while coming from the (Continued on Page 2.) PULLMAN PORTER IN LIQUOR NET BOSTON, Mass., March 7.—Sidney N.

Man Loses $2,055 Savings in Swindle One of the biggest swindle games of its kind was smoothly put over on Lee Steward, an elderly man of about 65 years. February 21, when he was induced to go to the bank at 58th street and Madison avenue and draw out his entire life's savings of $2,035 and hand it over to the swindler. As usual, the swindler presented Steward with his share of the "spots," which was nothing but a bundle of newspapers. Tuesday night at 3:30 detectives, who have ben looking for the swindler, arrested Roosevelt Stewart, 55, 691 Morris avenue. He is being accused and held on a charge of grand larceny. Detectives have quizzed and quizzed the prisoner; he declares he is innocent, but the old man positively identified him. The case was similar to the old pocketbook game. Moose Suspends Mrs. R. H. Ridley Insubordination Given as Probable Cause of Mrs. Rebecca Harden Ridley has been reported suspended from the I. B. P. Order of Moose. She was formerly supreme organizer and supreme secretary of the supreme chapter, the women's branch of the Moose. The alleged cause is subordination and usurpation of authority. It is reliably said that Mrs. Ridley and the Queen Esther Chapter, of which she is the noble queen in New York City, attempted to set up a new supreme body by applying for a charter in the State of New York. This effort is reported to have met with failure. Members high in the order, many of whom were founders, resisted an attempt by Mrs. Ridley to secure the co-operation of members from Brooklyn, New York, Cleveland and other places. In spite of the disruption the supreme body, of which Mrs. Octavia Washington of Baltimore is the head, is reported functioning at its highest peak. Every effort is being made to have a successful session of the Supreme Lodge, in Brooklyn, N. Y., in September of 1927. STEELTON, Pn., March 7.—Cela Jamison, who was to be taken to the county house today, will go on the records as 123 years old.

TO BOSTON Wife of Boston Bondsman Tells What She Knows of Thieves' Activities Three Arrested in New York BOSTON, Mass., March 7. A series of burglaries was unearthed here last Friday which makes the Rin Tin Tin of London — notorious gangsters and terrifiers to Scotland Yard — look like a Sunday school picnic in comparison, when Mrs. Rebecca Wilson, wife of George Wilson, well-known Shawmut avenue bondsman and manabout-town, told in Roxbury Court what she knew of the thieves' activities. The gang's operations stretched from Boston to Washington, D. C., along the Atlantic coast. Mrs. Wilson personally led Detectives James Sheehan and Clark Adair of the Back Bay station to the very lair of the underworld operatives at 13 West 131st street, New York. The manipulations of the gangsters were brought to the attention of policemen when several nights ago, the Patten Gown Shop, 472 Boylson street, was alleged to have been robbed of $15,000 worth of fur coats and dresses. The loot was trailed to Mrs. Wilson's home. 22 Ball street, by Patrolmen Michael Hartley, Adair and Sheehan, where Mrs. Wilson disclaimed all knowledge of the burglary but produced two dresses which, she says, were given her by two men stopping at her house claiming New York as their home. Walter Hughes, apprehended in Washington, D. C., in connection with a break there, and who is now lodged in Charles street jail here, and Jimmie Sampson, still at large, are the alleged ringleaders. Mrs. Wilson told reporters when interviewed at her home. Mrs. Wilson was held under $1,000 bond. Others arrested in New York City in connection with the Boylston street break were Mrs. Liza Clarke, 35, of 101 West 143d street, and Mrs. Anna Pendleton, 40, 13 West 131st street. At the latter address, said to be headquarters of the gang, $10,000 worth of the alleged stolen goods were found and George Henders, taxi driver, of Boston. The two New York women are held in $2,500 bail charged with being "fences." DETECTIVES DIVORCES, INVESTIGATIONS, Ela.

King, has withdrawn the commission of Oscar Hudson as Liberian Consul at San Francisco, Calif., according to Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul General in the United States. His financial activities in this country were unauthorized and somewhat embarrassing to the Liberian Government. The withdrawal of his commission was occasioned by his persistent efforts to act without authorization. The Department of State at Washington, D. C., has been advised of the President's action and the instructions of the Liberian Secretary of State. Mrs. Ada Howell Returns Home Real Estate Operator's Wife Took Poison Weeks Ago Mrs. Ada Howell, wife of the well-known and wealthy real estate broker, Fitzherbert Bert. 215 West, 135th street is said to have returned from Harlem Hospital to her home Friday and is recuperating rapidly. Mrs. Howell, on the night of February 25, last, took four bichloride of mercury tablets with suicidal intent. Her motive for wanting to take her life is apparently still a mystery. Hospital authorities intimate that it is a miracle that Mrs. Howell lives, as the dosage was almost enough to kill a score of men. It is claimed, however, an overdose is not as instantaneous in its effects as a lesser portion. It is said that Mrs. Howell is under the constant care of physicians and a trained nurse. It is reported that she was seen being taken for a drive in Mr. Howell's Puckard machine Sunday and Monday afternoons. 10-Year-Old Boy Missing Seven Days Douglass Austin, 10. has not been seen since Sunday. February 27. He was sent to his aunt, Mrs. Matilda Austin, 57 West 132d street, on February 26 by Millicent Goodman, 2094 Madison avenue, to play with her children, but according to reports he never arrived there. The boy is very fair with brown hair and brown eyes, and is approximately 4 feet tall. He wore a blue flowered shirt, black tie with purple stripes, dark pencil-striped trousers, tan shoes and stockings, a dark sweater, a dark gray overcoat and a tan cap. Sentences of 24th Inf. Ordered Reduced WASHINGTON, D. C., March 7. —President Coolidge has ordered a reduction of eighteen months in the sentences of twenty former members of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry, who are the only remaining prisoners now under sentence as a result of the so-called Houston riot of Aug. 23, 1817. The order will be carried out under the immediate direction of the Secretary of War, in whose Department the case of the convicted infantrymen was properly reviewable in the first instance.

C., March 7 (By Telegraph). — Supreme Court today by unanimous National Association for the Advance- ple in its contention that the State of its right in barring colored voters party primary elections in that state. Wendell Holmes delivered the opinion which closes as follows: Measure Was Fought by National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Through All of the Texas Courts WASHINGTON, D. C., March 7 (By Telegraph). The United States Supreme Court today by unanimous decision upheld the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its contention that the State of Texas had exceeded its right in barring colored voters from the Democratic party primary elections in that state. Mr. Justice Olive Wendell Holmes delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court, which closes as follows: Stroke Fatal to Mrs. E. Roberts Church Worker Stricken on Broadway While on Shopping Tour Mrs. Elizabeth Roberts. 105 West 141st street, wife of James Roberts and an old resident, suffered a stroke of paralysis Thursday afternoon, while on a shopping tour, at 145th street and Broadway, and was taken to Columbia Hospital for emergency treatment and later transferred to Harlem Hospital, where she died Saturday. Before she died she had lost the use of her voice and could not tell who she was, but a search of her effects revealed the card of Dr. St. Clair E. Dawson, who immediately responded to a summons of the hospital authorities, identified Mrs. Roberts, and notified her family. Mrs. Mildred Wynne, 35, 204 West 138th street, was badly shaken up when the cab in which she was riding collided with another cab at 138th street and Eighth avenue the other day. --- Mrs. Roberts was born in Eutaw- ville, S. C. Besides her husband, she is survived by a son, John William Flood, her only child, and by a mother and sister residing in the South. The funeral will be held today at one o'clock at St. Marks M. E. Church, of which the deceased was for years a member and a regular attendant. HURT IN CAR COLLISION. CORRECTION Despite the fact that the police department's records have the name of a Julia Wilson, 205 West 142nd street, as having attacked Miss Mamie Moore, 25, 168 West 144th street, Mrs. Julia C. Wilson of that address says she was in no way involved in the affair. "The statute of Texas, in the teeth of the prohibitions referred to, assumes to forbid Negroes to take part in a primary election, the importance of which we have indicated, by discriminating against them by the distinction of color alone. States may do a good deal of classifying that it is difficult to believe rational, but there are limits and it is too clear for extended argument that color cannot be made the basis of a statutory classification effecting the right set up in this case. Judgment reversed!" The Supreme Court's decision in this case created a sensation in Washington political circles, the clerk's office being thronged with newspapermen and lawyers copying the decision. The decision was hastily sent for by Senators Walsh of Montana, David Reed and others, because of its bearing on the Vare and Smith cases in the Senate. It is generally agreed that the decision in this case nullifies the ruling in the Newberry case and establishes that the party primary is an integral part of the election system.

Policeman Beats Innocent Man Policeman Beats Innocent Man (Continued from Page 1.) U.S. Post Office Garage, where he is employed as an automobile mechanic under civil service, he observed the four officers beating a man, who was later identified as James Thomas of 180 McWhorter street. One of the officers then came over to Mr. Fultz and asked what he knew about a fire-alarm box having been pulled and proceeded to search Mr. Fultz who protested against the unwarranted conduct of the officer, saying, "You have no right to beat that man in that manner, and I am sure Director Breennan does not employ you to go around beating people and arresting innocent citizens." The officers, he says, then seized him and dragged him to the patrol wagon and threw him in, saying, "We will show this guy where he gets off." Mr. Fultz further testified that he was taken to the First Prescinct and thrown into a cell without any medical attention, although the blood was streaming from his wounds. Thomas was also locked up and booked on a charge of loitering. After hearing the evidence in both cases, Judge Boettner stated that Officer Silverman had made a very poor impression in his testimony and discharged both men without hearing any further testimony. Counsellor J. Mercer Burroll of 164 Market street represented the defense and a number of prominent Newark citizens were present in court prepared to testify for Mr. Fultz as character witnesses. Among those present were: David D. Woody, a leading understaker and fraternal man; Mrs. H. Blanche Harris, Mrs. A. V. Jefferson, Mrs. S. Colson Woody, and Dr. James B. Parks, president of the local N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Fultz was formerly one of New Jersey's leading athletes.

March 7.—Leonard Klip Rhinelander cannot afford to pay $5,000 more counsel fees for his wife's attorneys because his $155,000 fortune has already been hard hit by payment of $15,500 as counsel fees and $300 a month allmoney, according to an affidavit submitted in Supreme Court today on behalf of Isaac N. Mills, counsel for Rhinelander. The Mills affidavit said that Rhinelander was unable to work, and therefore had no income except that from his investments. Lee Parment Davis and Samuel F. Swinburne, attorneys for Mrs. Rhinelander, filed affidavits in support of their claim for $5,000 additional counsel fees because of the extra duties imposed upon them by Rhinelander's action in taking his case to the Court of Appeals in an attempt to upset the verdict of the jury which in November, 1925, refused to annul his marriage.

When it was argued before the Supreme Court by Fred C. Knollenberg of El Paso and Arthur B. Spingarn, vice-president of the N. A. C. P. there was no opposition from the State of Texas. At the conclusion of argument, however, Dan Moody, Governor-elect of Texas, jumped up and asked permission for the State of Texas to file a reply brief. Mr. Spingarn then asked permission for the N. A. C. P. to answer the reply brief, permission being granted by the Supreme Court. The N. A. A. C. P. brief was a masterly document, passed upon by Moorfield Storey, national president of the N. A. A. C. P.; Louis Marshall, nationally known authority on constitutional law and member of the N. A. A. C. P. Board of Directors; Arthur B. Spingarn, vice-president of the N. A. A. C. P. and chairman of its National Legal Committee, and Messrs. Fred C. Knollenberg and Robert J. Channell of El Paso. The case in question was that of Dr. L. A. Nixon, a resident and qualified voter of El Paso, against G. C. Herndon and Charles Porras. El Paso County election officials. Both of the latter are white. Dr. Nixon sought to vote in the State- wide primary election of July. 26, 1924, at which both State and Federal candidates were selected, and the right was denied to him under Article 3903-A of the Texas statute of 1923, which provided that: "In no event shall a Negro be eligible to participate in a Democratic Party election held in the State of Texas, and should a Negro vote in the Democratic primary election such a ballot shall be void, and election officials are herein directed to throw out such ballot and not count the same." Mr Justice Holmes pointed out it was useless to consider the Fifteenth Amendment, as the Fourteenth was sufficient. "That amendment, while it applies to all, was passed, as we know, with a special intent to protect the blacks from discrimination against them. Slaughter House Case--16 Wall. 36; Strrauder vs. West Virginia, 100 U. S. 303," said he. "That amendment not only gave citizenship and the privileges of citizenship to persons of color, but it denied to any State the power to withhold from them the equal protection of the laws. Equality Before Law Urheld. "What is this but declaring that the law in the States shall be the same for the black as for the white; that all persons, whether colored or white, shall stand equal before the laws of the States, and in regard to the colored race, for whose protection the amendment was primarily designed, that no discrimination shall be made against them by law because of their color? "The statue of Texas in the teeth of the prohibitions referred to assuance to forbid Negroes to take part in an election, the importance of which we have indicated, discriminating against them by the distinction of color alone. States may do a good deal of classification that it is difficult to hollow rational, but there are limits, and it is too clear for extended argument that colon cannot be made the basis of a statutory classification affecting the right set up in this case." The opinion of the court caused much favorable comment here. Lawyers generally declared there was nothing else for the court to do. Senator Borah of Idaho was much pleased with it, for he said it upholds his conclusion that the power of Congress extends to the primary as well as the general election. As a result of the ruling several Southern States may have to rewrite their primary laws because of color discriminations included in them. The decision marked the 86th birthday of Mr. Justice Holmes. A fire of unknown origin, causing a damage estimated at $200, burned out the room of Joe Kemp, a lodger on the top floor at the residence of Mrs. Idell Jones, 518 West 137th street, Monday morning at 7:30. In response to Mrs. Jones emergency call over the telephone, Engine Co. No. 59, 137th street at Seventh avenue, arrived and extinguished the blaze. Mrs. Jones suffered a minor injury to a finger of her right hand from broken glass. Father-Uncle of Three Aiken Victims Leaves for Philadelphia Father-Uncle of Three Aiken Victims Leaves for Philadelphia "All My Property Gone and My Son and Daughter Lynched," Aged Man Sobs as He Leaves Columbia Prison COLUMBIA, S. C., March 7.—Sam Lowman, father of Demon and Bertha Lowman and uncle of Clarence Lowman, the three persons lynched last October by a mob which took them from the Aiken County jail, has been freed from prison and has gone to Philadelphia to live with the four surviving members of his family, according to reports received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The N. A. A. C. P. has received from N. J. Frederick, the colored lawyer who defended the Lowman, a clipping from the Columbia Record of February 24, telling something of Sam Lowman's story. The local newspaper states that Mr. Lowman, though a hard working, industrious man, leaves Aiken without a cent, his home having been ransacked. Says the Columbia Record: one in service in America. The two sons and two daughters live in Philadelphia, and he proposes to go to them. He has a good face and his whole bearing bears out his statement that he had always tried to live a good life. Because he made a good prisoner, Lowman got 72 days' clemency, the usual ten per cent of time given in "Clean as my hand," said Lowman, and a big lump moved up and down in his throat, and tears were on his lashes. "All my property gone, and my son and daughter and nephew lynched." Lowman said he had never been in trouble before in his life. He never drank; he worked hard; he was a God-fearing man. For two years he had lived in Alken Country, and they were bad farm years, but he averaged eighteen bales of cotton a year as a tenant farmer. Sam Lowman was given two years in jail because two quart bottles containing a little liquor were found in the yard of his home after the shooting of his wife and the death of the sheriff. The account continues: His attorneys says it was probably a record sentence for such a case. Lowman stated today that he did not bury that liquor and linger was never kept at his house. Lowman served seventeen months on the Allen County chain gang and the last three months in the state penitentiary, being brought here for safekeeping after the lynching of the three members of his family. The Columbia Record states that the guard on the chain gang did not dare to make Lowman a "trusty" although he deserved it, for fear of the mobbists in Horse Creek Valley. Lowman said he was in the Alken jail the night of the lynching. He heard the mob come to the jail door, and heard the door open and the many feet pass through. He heard the men climb the steps and heard the cries of his daughter when her brother was taken out, the girl pleading that they not kill him. Tears came into his eyes. "It's pretty hard; it's awful to think that one man could treat another so bad, just because he had the upper hand." Lowman had one son in France. 14 Arch 7.—Sam Lowman, father of him and uncle of Clarence Lowman last October by a mob which county jail, has been freed from Philadelphia to live with the four family, according to reports re-association for the Advancement one in service in America. The two sons and two daughters live in Philadelphia, and he proposes to go to them. He has a good face and his whole bearing bears out his statement that he had always tried to live a good life. Because he made a good prisoner, Lowman got 72 days' clemency, the usual ten per cent of time given in cases of exemplary behavior.

Any person in a mob who would inflict injury to a person or damage to his property would be deemed guilty of a felony and imprisoned for five years.

KILLS MISCEGENATION BILL "Miscegenation" Law Introduced in Massachusetts Legislature Withdrawn Continued victory against the anti-intermarriage bills introduced in Northern legislatures is reported by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the latest victory occurring in Massachusetts under the leadership of Butler R. Wilson, president of the Boston branch of the Association. FOUR Mr. Wilson reports that the committee on legal affairs of the Legislature has reported "leave to withdraw" on the bill, which means that it will be heard from no more. Moorfield Storey, national president of the N. A. A. C. P., submitted a statement in which he said: "If there is any objection to unions between two races, a bill to forbid marriage is not the way to prevent it. All through the South the races mix, as is shown by the number of mulattoes, and that they naturally come together is shown by the multitude of descendants from such relations. They will continue to do so, and no law will prevent it. "It is certainly better that their relations should be legal, and that the colored woman should have the same protection which is given to her white sister than that she should be at the mercy of white seducers. Such a law as is proposed is a long step backward and downward, and it would be a disgrace to Massachusetts if it is not defeated overwhelmingly." Others who submitted statements include Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, leading suffragist, and Florence H. Luscomb. The following summary of reasons against passage of the bill was prepared and submitted by Mr. Wilson. 1. There is no demand for such a law. 2. It is notorious that in states where such laws exist they do not prevent the intermingling of the races. 3. It will be in direct conflict with the letter and the spirit of the whole body of laws of the commonwealth, which guarantee the rights of all races. 4. Such a law would be discriminatory and unjust. 5. It will be class legislation of the most insulting kind, degrading 60,000 citizens of the commonwealth in that it would establish by law that the blood of Negroes is tainted and that Negroes are inferior. 6. The Legislature repealed in 1843 similar law enacted in 1786, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan and the Federal Congress have recently refused such a law.

There would be something physiologically the matter with young people who could engage in a petting party and have no stirring of feeling. Such emotional strain is hard on the nerves. All nerve specialists warn against undue and unnecessary stimulation of this kind. The thrill is admittedly here; it is the nervous tension that gives the thrill. "Petting is a dangerous pastime. Many people like to play with fire; nobody intends to get burned. Petting is playing with fire. The unexpected and the unintended may happen. It is better to play safe than to be sorry. A guilty conscience is a poor companion to have the balance of one's life." So writes Herman H. Horne, professor of the history of education and the history of philosophy, in the New York University Alumnus. We recognize the bad taste of petting, the nerve strain involved, the danger of unintended consequence, and the loss of the bloom of innocence.

Sara Washington The following was taken from the Colored Barbers' and Hairdressers' Journal: "The human face of all civilization is gradually growing longer and narrower, in the opinion of Miss Vilian George, chief assistant to Sir Arthur Keith, one of England's most eminent anthropologists, who for years has been specializing in studying the changes taking place in the human skull." Observation has proved that the change taking place is due to the different ways of life. For example, Miss George explains, in the old days the jaw of a man had to be so much stronger than at the present time, when eating no longer is a physical effort. The facial muscles were better developed then than now and this has had effect on the general bone construction of the skull. "We scientists," claims Miss George, "agree that the face is becoming longer and narrower. Facts point to the change as being one of human evolution and not one that has come upon us in this age."

My dear Egayey Ann: My dear Larry Ahn: I am very much troubled and should like to have your advice. I live in Brooklyn. My boy friend lives in Harlem, works in Harlem, and all his affairs are held in Harlem. He can not travel all the way to Brooklyn and back again, and so he wants me to meet him at his rooms. I have been brought up differently. It is against my conscience to do this, and yet I think my friend is the very personalization of home. Want you please advise me and tell me if I ought to go to him? Very sincerely. Dear Impatience: No, you should not go to his home. From what I know of most Harlem parties and dances, should say that he has taught him enough to be a Kalamazoo for you and then get you to the affair up time. Remember, impatience, that your friend's intentions may be all right but the risk is too great. Should anything happen, the odds would be against you because of the fact because of the paragraph which states that the facial muscles were better developed in the old days than now. And, due to this fact, we find ourselves suffering from wrinkles and flabbiness of the skin of the face. In order to correct these deficiencies it is our duty to aid nature—and this can be done by the massage. The massage tones up the unused muscles, increases circulation and cleans the pores of the skin, thereby preventing blackheads, pimples and perhaps other minor skin affections.

Dear Eggypsy Ann: I am so glad that you have come to the aid of the readers of The Amsterdam News, as there are so many who need help, and I am one of those who need help. And I am one of your friends, as they only laugh at me. The trouble is this: Whenever we go to a party or gathering where the boys and girls forget themselves I am called to my friend and I think I am a "kidly" and the fellows no longer take me out because I am not a "good sport." What shall I do, Eggypsy Ann? I don't want to lose my own self-respect or my friends. I do. But life is short, and when my friends warn me, saying that I will be sorry for my傲慢ness late, I almost feel like doing as they do in think of what they seem to think is the highest honor possible—a good sport. Please answer and help A MAIDEN IN DISTRESS Dear little Widener in Distance. Dear little Maiden in Distress: I'd rather be called a "bad sport," than a "good sport" by some people. You know the word "bad sport." It is terribly exploited one if you acted according to the way some people interpret being a "good sport" you'd find yourself being nothing more than a "little fool." You are not being prudish because you refuse to surrender your self-respect at parties that turn out to be petting affairs. You're just being true to the best that is you and being a clean, healthy life that will not cause you shame in the future. I suggest that you break away from the old crowd. You'll find girls and boys with upright characters. Meanwhile occupy your mind with something of interest. Allot some time to reading, so as to broaden your outlook. Take an art class, which can or interest yourself in music. Interest yourself in the world youth movements of the day. You'll soon realize that there are many big, fine things in the world for you to do without spending your time with people who pet and are secretly jealous because you don't. Sincerely, EGYPSY ANN.

The prizes are extraordinarily valuable, as will be seen from the list below. No expense has been spared to make this one of the most valuable prize distributions ever attempted, and the prizes will be given absolutely FREE. Any reputable man, woman, boy or girl may participate as a candidate, and it is not necessary that you be a subscriber to Prize First P Prizes Giv First Prize First Prize to person having the largest number votes Nash Special Six 240, Fully Equipped 4-Door Sedan Value $1724 How to Enter and Win The object of this big distribution of prizes is twofold—Primarily it is to increase the already large circulation of The Amsterdam News, and secondly to afford our friends and readers an unparalleled opportunity to profit in a big way through their spare time during the next few weeks. So it is a plan that works both ways for the good of all concerned. Let it be understood at the very beginning that this is not a "beauty" or popularity contest, but it is strictly a competitive proposition for enterprising men and women, boys and girls. One big feature is that EVERYBODY WINS, there are no losers. The plan of the campaign is the fairest and squarest imaginable and it is fully outlined in this announcement. The first step in order to share in this mammoth distribution of prizes is to clip and mail the nomination blank. Fill in your name and address and mail or deliver to the Campaign Department of The Amsterdam News. The coupon entitles you or the person you nominate to 5,000 votes. These votes are given you as a starter and to speed you on your way to win. The next step is to call on or phone or write the Campaign Department for a free outfit consisting of a special receipt book, sample copies of paper and other information relative to the campaign. Come and meet the Campaign Manager personally, if possible, as he may be able to give you some valuable information as to how best to go about getting votes. Thus equipped you have but to go to your friends and neighbors, relatives and acquaintances, and have them pay up a subscription to The Amsterdam News through you. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT. However, you must make the start, as anything worth having is worth striving for—so plan your campaign—get busy at once and let no one discourage you, and in a few short weeks you will be the winner of a prize well worth any effort. Subscribers who do not care to receive their paper by mail will be given a 52-coupon book, good for one copy each week, for a year, at any newsstand or agent. Begin gathering votes now as they all count. Get your friends to cast them for you. The way to get votes is by securing new and renewal subscriptions to The Amsterdam News. On each subscription turned in a certain number of votes are issued, depending on the amount paid and during which "perlod" the subscriptions are received (See schedule of votes below). So you see, the more subscriptions you secure and the quicker you get them, the more votes you will get and the better your chances are for landing the first prize. The advantages of an early start are apparent. Not only do you have the full nine weeks in which to secure the votes, but from now on until April 6 you will receive the greatest number of votes for every subscription you secure. Then, too, the first in the field will get the cream of the votes and subscriptions, while those who put off entering will have to take what is left. Don't lose valuable time waiting to see what the other fellow is going to do. Pitch right in NOW and show the other fellow how it is done. Be sure that your nomination is in RIGHT AWAY.

Free --- Rules for Campaign Any reputable man or woman, boy or girl, is eligible to enter the campaign and win a prize. Campaign begins at once and nominations may be made at any time. No employees of The Amsterdam News or any member of his or her family is allowed to enter the election. The Amsterdam News reserves the right to reject any nomination. Winners of all the prizes will be decided by their accredited votes, said votes being represented by ballots issued on each subscription. In case of a tie an identical prize will be given to those tied. Subscriptions may be secured anywhere. Cash must accompany all subscriptions to receive votes. No distinction is made in the vote value of either old, new or extension subscriptions. Votes are FREE. It costs nothing for subscribers and readers to vote for their favorites. Votes will be issued on receipts covering back payments. Votes cannot be purchased. Every cent accepted by the campaign department must represent subscription payments. Votes are not transferable. One candidate cannot withdraw in favor of another. Should a candidate withdraw from the campaign his or her votes will be canceled. Ballots issued on subscriptions may be held in reserve and voted at the discretion of the candidate. No statement or promise made by the solicitor, agent or candidate varying from the rules and statements published through the paper will be recognized by the publisher. In case of typographical error or other error it is understood that neither the publisher nor the campaign manager shall be responsible, except to make the necessary corrections. It is distinctly understood that candidates will be responsible for all money collected and that they will remit such amounts in full at frequent intervals or on demand. In addition to the several prize awarded—there will be a distribution of 5 per cent of money collected in subscriptions by candidates as commission to all ACTIVE non-prize winners, but it is distinctly understood that in event any candidate becomes INACTIVE, failing to make a weekly cash report after making the first one, he or she will become disqualified and therefore forfeit the right to participate in this commission. To insure absolute fairness in awarding the prizes the campaign will be brought to a close under a "scaled ballot box" system and will be under the personal supervision of two or more Judges selected from the Advisory Board. During the entire last week of the campaign candidates and their friends will deposit their final collections, in a locked and sealed ballot box, and not until the race is closed will the seals be broken and the Judges begin the final count. In this way no one, not even the Campaign Manager or the Publisher, can possibly know the voting strength of the respective candidates, which precludes any possibility of favoritism and insures fairness to the minutest degree. The Amsterdam News reserves the right to amend the rules of this election if necessary for the protection of the interest of both the candidates and this paper. In accepting nominations candidates agree to abide by the above conditions. for Yourself Today declining scale basis, will positively not be changed during the campaign.

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1927 Crispus Attucks and Famed Massacre Commemorated in Boston BOSTON, Mass., March 5.—Flags on the State House and City Hall were lowered to half-mast today. Three different ceremonies were held in commemoration of the 157th anniversary of the Boston Massacre. With an incentive to tell the world that Crispus Attucks, a Negro, was the first to shed blood for this country. Negroes took the initiative in all three of these meetings. At the first of the ceremonies, held at 10.15 a.m. on State street on the spot where the martyrs fell, Monroe Mason, Commander of the William E. Carter Post, American Legion, presided. A wreath was given and hung on the wall of the building at State street and Exchange place by Mrs. Lilliam L. Feurtado. Mrs. Josephine Cunningham of Cambridge, granddaughter of Philip Boston, Revolutionary War hero, was the principal speaker. Mrs. Minnie T. Wright, commander of the Women's Auxiliary, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Patrick E. Toy Post, and Wm. Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, were the speakers at the grave of Attucks, in the Old Granary Burying Ground. The Rev. Le Roy Ferguson, rector of St. Cyprian's Episcopal Church, Major Larkland F. Hewlitt, Commander of Patrick E. Toy Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, also spoke here, and Chaplain Frederick C. Wilson of the Post offered prayer. AT MONUMENT ON COMMON. The full import of the meaning of these celebrations culminated at the monument on Boston Common. There a shaft bearing the names of Attucks, the Negro, Samuel Gray and Samuel Maverick, Englishmen, and Patrick Carr, the Irishman, gives silent testimony to the heroism of all Americans. And it was at this meeting that Major Edward J. Sampson of the Governor's staff, delivering the principal address on behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, declared that the red-blooded people of Massachusetts will never allow an Anti-internarriage Bill to be passed.

We think of an old popular melody as we write the opening lines and those of you recalling it will remember that the tune was sung to something written by one of our popular song writers and danced by well known "hoofers" of yesteryear. Eugene Elmore Our opening lines came to us as we sit and recall what we have termed the "dance of the beads" by a lady at one of our local theatres last week. Thinking thus, our mind reverted to the days of the old Crescent Theatre, when Benjamin Nibur was manager for the Martinson and Nibur firm, which afterwards built the Lafayette, and Eugene (Frenchy) Elmore, who managed the original Lincoln for Mrs. Maria C. Downs. The old Lincoln was more popularly known as the Nickolette in those days and many will recall that it was not considered "the thing" among the so-called social elite to patronize the Nickolette. In spite of which they used to turn them away, with Jack Dempsey, "Harlem Jack." keeping the crowds in good humor as he kept them out of the little theatre when it was filled to capacity. For forty-eight hours we have been trying to recall the worst thing done at those old playhouses, and try as hard as we did, nothing comes up in our memory as putrid as that dance done by an "artist" at one of our theatres here last week. It was the last word in spite of what preceded it along the same lines, for to our vision the lady put on her stuff in such unmistakable style and with so little, even making allowance for the very little the law apparently allows, even such a co-moisseur in art unadorned when it comes to the feminine as we are. we confess, along with Henderson Huggins, who we put to the test to see if we were wrong, that if 125th street went beyond this when the law horrible intervened, then we had better help to steer Seventh avenue crowds on down to the big street. We are of the opinion that we were born under a lucky star, for had we seen the dance in time for our last issue we would have taken a stand which would have perhaps, for all time severed all WONDERFUL NEW DISCOVERY WHITENS AND CLEARS YOUR SKIN AFTER A FEW TREATMENTS Bunish Freckles, Blackheads, Muddiness, Tan.

Played to Packed Houses at the Nickolette Without Offering Hootchie-Kootchie Dances. bonds of friendship existing between the management of the theatre we have in mind and us, for much as we desire to slide along in happy friendship and the lines of least resistance, we found that something within us which has always come to the fore rising, and we could not, though hard we might have tried, resist the temptation of asking Broadway to come uptown and tell us if they had anything down their way to beat this dance. We understand that the producer of the show in which the dance was done has asserted that it can be done elsewhere, but we are so dumb and foolish we are willing to Benjamin Nibur JOHN H. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1927 not last one performance anywhere else in this town outside of darker Harlem, and passing strange it is, we again rise to reaffirm that we are far from being a prude. Well, all's well that ends well, for if these columns were open in time for us to have commented on this presentation at the time it was right here we believe that by this time we would be either heading for the tall uncut or on our way to join the army behind the bars. Certain Harlem managers and producers have tried to tell us that the unadorned females of Mr. Ziegfeld, surrounded by an artistic atmosphere and posing with studied grace, is as bad as what they sometimes do here in Harlem and expect us to be dumb enough to even discuss this impossible comparison. If one of Mr. Ziegfeld's ladies stepped from her dais and engaged in the contortions which accompany the near nude in Harlem a cry would go up that would leave Mr. Ziegfeld gasping for breath and the lady doing the dance gasping for free air. Yes, we are constrained to look back regretfully to the past because it gave so much promise, and when for five years we were given a hisher form of entertainment in our theatres the future looked rosy. But what will you, those foods and valets? He who pays the piper must call the tune, if you know what we mean. Again Selah! Ab, lest we forget. That dance was of such it called forth a few adverse words from a contemporary which has otherwise been satisfied to keep quiet for fear of being charged with lack of constructive criticism. Big Rex Ingram Picture at the Lincoln Theatre Alice Terry, who plays the leading role in "The Magician," the Rex Ingram production coming to the Lincoln Theatre this Thursday, was born in Vincennes, Ind, which explains why later she was known as "Alice of Old Vincennes." Two years before the event which gave her a nationwide reputation—the release of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"—Alice Terry was an Indiana high school girl—dreaming her dreams, of course, but not fixing any definite locale for her air castles. One day Alice, heeding the pleadings of one of her girl friends who was employed as an extra in a studio, had an interview with a director. A few minutes later she was sharing a dressing room with a number of extras and being initiated into the art of making up. Rex Ingram, who at that time was coming into his own as a highly promising director, was looking about for a girl to play the heroine in "Hearts Are Trumps." This role was important, too important to be entrusted to a beginner. A number of actresses who had already achieved stardom were under consideration for the part. But Miss Terry looked the part per- Now Playing This Week BROWN LASSIES A Miniature Musical Revue, Also A Big Bill of Vaudeville In Addition PHOTO PLAY ATTRACTIONS (Now Showing) Thurs., Fri., Sat., Sun.

Colleen Moore's latest starring vehicle, which was produced for First National by John McCormick and which will be at the New Douglas Theatre this week. The folks who've seen "Twinkletoes," by the way, are particularly enthusiastic over Colleen's "change of hair." A golden, curly mop replaces the dark, sleek bob she usually wears. In the supporting cast, all depicting colorful Limehouse characters, are Kenneth Harlan, Gladys Brockwell, Warner Oland, Tully Marshall, Julanne Johnston and John Philip Kolb "Twinkketoes" is the sort of story that fits in the mysterious but fascinating Limehouse background. It's filled with suspense and menace. Colleen appears as a little headline dancer at the Quayside Theatre. Harlan, whom she loves, is a Limehouse pugilist. And the others have equally colorful and picturesque roles. Though there is tenseness and pathos in this tale, happiness shines through the mysterious fog of the Limehouse streets in bright comedy, the sparkling personality of "Twink" herself, and the happy ending. It's a picture young and old will enjoy.

All the finesse of high life, fine clothes and the never tiring theme of love are excellently brought out in this picture and make it one that is of particular interest. "Club Alabam Here Next Week "Club Alabam Here Next Week During it last appearance at the Lafayette Theatre, the entertainers from the Club Alabama scored one of the biggest hits ever made by a show in Harlem. For next week, the management of the Lafayette Theatre announces a return of this company, with the addition of several well-known principals and an entirely new chorus of Broadway dancing girls. The new version was staged by Elida Webb. It has had remarkably attended runs in Philadelphia. Washington and in Baltimore. Lottie Gee's rendition of several new ballads brought storms of applause, while the work of Jean Starr, Teddy Peters, Clarence Robinson, Johnny Vigal, Laventore Pauls, Santore Revera, Jimmie Mordecal. Adele Williams and other new members of the company was enthusiastically greeted. The chorus goes through several new dances with remarkable grace and precision. A new scene, laid in a Parisian Apache Den, is one of the finest numbers ever staged. The photoplay part of the program is exceptionally good. For the first three days of the week, Virginia Valli will be seen in "Stage Madness," one of the finest "back stage" stories ever filmed. For the four days beginning Thursday, Madge Bellamy will be seen in "Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl."

Miss Revier is said to have her most delightful as well as most dramatic characterization in the role of Peggy Marston, the girl who ran away from home in fear of the consequences of a prank. While her sweetheart and parents searched in the neighboring city, she was busy dancing with a society thief, happily unaware of the net of circumstantial evidence which landed her behind prison bars. Robert Agnew, well known juvenile, plays the rich son who forgets everything that has been important in his pampered life once the girl he loves is in difficulties. Mildred Harris appears as the dancing partner of Armand Kaltz, who plays the heary. Eugene Besserer and William Welsh play the parents of the headstrong girl, who are so intent upon disciplining her that she runs away rather than face their sternness. "Wandering Girls," written by Dorothy Howell, was directed by Ralph Ince, with such keen understanding of youth's rebellious way that critics in other cities have acclaimed this Columbia production as one of the most absorbing of its kind.

Edwards Has Possibilities as Record Smasher, Says Valentine of Telegram Popular Athletic Writer Likens New York University Colored Star to the Late John B. Taylor—South American Expected to Show Great Form This Spring "No more impressive performance was turned in by the many near winners at the national A. A. U. indoor championships in the Garden on Monday night," says Howard Valentine in the New York Evening Telegram, "than that of Phil Edwards, the long-legged colored boy who runs for New York University. Edwards is headed for greater things on the track. Paste that in your hat. Under the skillful coaching of Emil Von Elling, the Violet track coach, Edwards has come along with a rush since the opening of the current indoor season. That he did not register better than fourth place in the A.A.U. "1,000" on Monday night was due solely to his limited experience on the track. Phil got away badly and foolishly made up all of the ground that he lost in the break from the barrier in the first 200 yards of the race. He ran himself out of a championship medal in that wild burst of speed that carried him around the field to Lloyd Hahn's shoulder. A more remarkable pair of legs than those which have carried Edwards to a sensational string of board floor performances this winter has not been seen hereabouts since the late John B. Taylor was carrying the University of Pennsylvania colors to the fore about twenty years back. The Violet stars build and action are, in fact, not unlike those of the most popular Negro runner who ever set foot on the track. Edwards' long legs are covered When blowouts get you sore.

Agents Wanted Write for details SENSATIONAL SOCCER TEAM TO OPEN HERE Experts Think Edwards Has Possibilities with a set of ideal foot racing muscles—the long, lean, whipcord kind that enable their possessor to cover ground with a minimum of effort and fatigue. Just now Phil lacks but two qualities to make him a world beater. These are experience and stamina. His brilliant burst of speed in the early stages of the A. A. U. "1,000" the other night proved that his speed lacks nothing. That the Violet middle distance ace has unlimited possibilities, too, is proven by his ability to run almost any distance with the flyers. He has won the spurs at cross-country and has run the quarter mile under fifty-one seconds. There's the answer. Coach Von Elling is grooming Edwards to show his real stuff on the cinders this spring. Phil's long striding gait is better suited to running on turf than boards and Von is pointing the dusky flyer for the outdoor meets. As long as last September the N. Y. U. coach remarked to the writer: "Edwards will show some fine running on the boards this winter, but you just watch him when he gets out on the cinders in the spring." Edwards came here from British Guiana eighteen months ago. He blew into town hailed as the middle distance champion of John Buils Caribbean possession and immediately cast his hat into the local foot racing ring. Lack of condition beat the colorful boy in his first few start, but he made the grade handsomely in the subsequent hill and dale campain and during the outdoor season can to a series of fashy visions in the half mile races. It was not until the opening of the current indoor season, however, that Edwards started to show the benefit of a year of work under Von Elling. Edwards may stay at New York University, and he may not. The fleet colored boy is seriously thinking of going to England later on to take a course at Oxford University. The Hub athletic crowd vouch for a story to the effect that Lloyd Hahn, the 1,000 yard record smasher, ran a ten century trial on an outdoor board track in Boston recently under 2 minutes and 11 seconds. Hahn's strength in the closing stage of his record effort on Monday night last certainly makes this story within the range of possibility.

Sensational South American Soccer Team With Negro Stars Coming Here Coming Uruguayian Soccer Team Has Great Record— Two Colored Players, Andrade and Recoba, Stars for Many Seasons — Amsterdam News Receives Cable From Famous Club Nacional Quite the chief topic of conversation at the big soccer cup tie played at Hawthorne Field, Brooklyn, last Sunday between the Brooklyn Wanderers and Fall River, which ended in a to tie after a rousing game, was the coming tour of the Olympic champion Uruguayian team, winner of the title at the 1924 Paris games, which is now on the way to the United States, having sailed from Montevideo last Friday on the Munson liner Pan American. Their great record, which was made in their European tour of 1925, is still fresh in the minds of all followers of the game throughout the world, and no team which has ever visited this country can boast of such wonderful reputation as the invading Olympic champions from Uruguay who will arrive here for an extensive tour on March 15. A cable just received from the headquarters of the club at Montavideo brought the information that at the last minute another colored player, Antonio Recoba, was included in the party of invaders who, together with Jose Andrade, are two of the most clever and spectacular players ever seen in action on a soccer field. The great Andrade holds down the right half back position, while Recoba is a left fullback, both standing five feet seven inches and very stockily built, tipping the scissors at 170 pounds each. They are lightning fast and have built up wonderful reputations, both in their own country and in Europe.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1927 posing in the annuals of the game. The famous club was founded in 1892, but not until 1900 was any competition entered for. Since that time until 1924 they have played 316 league games, winning 54, losing 38 and drawing 54, with 78 goals to their credit to 195 against. The have won the Uruguayan cup ten times. In 1902, 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1919, 1920, 1922 and 1923. Their record in 1923 playing against the national teams of South American countries is as follows: Nacional 2; Paraguay 0; Nacional 2; Brazil 1; Nacional 2; Argentine 0. In 1824, before the Olympic Games, the Nacional Club made a tour of several Spanish cities, playing nine games which were all won, scoring 25 goals to 8 against. In the Olympic Games at Paris in 1924 they were a big sensation and defeating all opponents made them the talk of all soccer followers wherever the game is played. Five contests were played in fourteen days, all of which were won, twenty goals being scored to two against. In turn they beat Jugoslavia 7 to 0; United States 3 to 0; France 5 to 1; Holland 2 to 1, and Switzerland in the final by 3 to 0. After the Olympic Games, at the request of the Uruguayan Government, the team returned to Montevideo, declining many tempting offers made to tour several European countries. Season 1925 was the greatest in the club's history when they made a trip to Europe. From March 8 to August 8 they played 28 games in France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Holland and Portugal. Twenty-six were won, five lost and seven drawn. It is estimated nearly 1,000,000 people saw them play during their tour, the largest being at Vienna on June 11, 1925, when 70,000 turned out to see them play a 1 to 1 draw. Three of their defeats were met in Spain against Europa, 1 to 0 twice, and a picked team of Spaniards 2 to 1. Sparta of Prague, who toured the United States last fall, also bent them by 1 to 0 as did a picked Belgian team by 2 to 1. Tel.

Merola had been the medalist in the qualifying round, scoring 66. Playing in the Labor Day tournament held at the Shady Rest C. C. of Westfield, N. J. J. R. Harvey was the winner and his club mate "Siege Gun" Briggs, the medalist and runner up. The club championship was played at the Pelham Bay Park link. R. Harvey was the winner and won the first leg on the beautiful club cup. The cup must be won three times to become the property of a member.

JOSEPHS IN RETURN GAME Preparing for Clash, Renaissance Defeat Brooklyn Dodgers on Sunday Night The fast St. Joseph five, which hung a defeat on the Renaissance players two weeks ago, will return to our city the coming Sunday night in a return encounter with the colored champs. The white boys believe that they can repeat the performance and a record crowd will be on hand to see if it was a duke that gave them victory in that last thrilling game. Last Sunday night the local players were hard put but returned victors over the famous Brooklyn Bodgers in a contest which ended 27-20 in their favor.

In spite of the warm weather which threatens to remain for quite a spell, Renaissance will continue into the schedule that will find the popular players going hard right into April. While there has been a strong rumor that Celtics will again give our boys a chance at the title, no word has been forthcoming from Manager "Bob" Douglas about this and until such time we are forced to believe that no truth accompany the rumor now going the rounds.

Walcott Here Last Week NEW of the 15,000 spectators who saw a stocky, gray-haired, colored man introduced from the rink last Thursday night at Madison Square Garden remembered Joe Walcott when he was considered the greatest wellweight in the world. Time has denied kindly with the Harbardsburg, now nearly fifty-four years old. A stubby mustache adorns the features of this once great fighter, but the old-DiMere hands with Joe Humphries. Walcott is now living in Boston and came down Thursday night as a guest of Nub aporting men to see Jack Sharkey in action. "Kid" McPartland, who referred the Sharkey-MeTigre boot, lost an eight-round battle to Winlock in 1858. The "Kid" shook hands cordially with his old foe just before the main event Thursday night. RO A FACE I THAT REALLY WILL WE THEN WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE IN FANCY AND RECALL THOSE HECTIC DAYS OF YOUTH AND THE DUTIES WHICH CALLED US TO SCENES OF ACTION? LOOKING the country o'er in our mind's eye, we sometimes wonder how many there are with the knowledge that in Pittsburgh there lives one of the best sport writers that ever made an Underwood tremble. So much has been said in recent years of the ability, or lack of it, of us fellows charged with sending out this form of news, one cannot help but rise and recall to the minds of followers of sport the name of Ira F. Lewis, of the Pittsburgh. Courier. Long before the coming of Rollo Wilson's splendid opinion columns, Mr. Lewis swung a trenchant pen in sports, and in our early days in the game we struck up a friendship by correspondence, which was cemented upon the arrival of Lewis in 1915, when he embarked on every reaffers of many of our churches by reason of the strong partisan spirit which came out of these sacred edifices to follow the teams to the country's greatest neutral court—Manhattan Casino. "Sheriff" as he was known to his large circle of friends, was fired with that spirit of Negro sport journalism which was shared by only two others in spirit in those days, and those others were Frank Young, of the Chicago Defender, and the writer. We stood ready to answer a call at any hour of the day or night, or in any part of the country, if the necessity arose and the fare was forthcoming. And by a strange trick of fate us three fellows have been called upon to cover a wider area than sport. We have practically lost Lewis in this form of Negro journalism, as he in his youth had taught us and giving attention to other fields of his paper, and while Young is also giving attention to other fields on the Defender, he does manage to continue under his title of "Mr. Fan." What prompts us to reproduce the picture of the little Pittsburgher is to refresh the memory of the boys and recall the little figure who sent out beautiful word pictures of battles which representative Pittsburgh teams staged on our courts against the best we could assemble here. And as we go down memory lane in restrospect we look with a feeling of gratitude upon some lines from this same Lewis, which had a great deal to do with lending encouragement to efforts which has kept us in this game for lo, these many years. When the picture which accompanies this article came to town it brought with it these words: "To my old co-worker in the game where it is h—1 if you do and h—1 if you don't. To Dougherty of the News, who deserves the credit for writing ego journalism from 'Togism' to progressiveness. From F. Lewis. Ah, strong words those, my dear Lewis, strong lines, indeed, and we wonder where we will both be when Time will have furrowed our brows and flicked our hair with gray. Without idle boast I say that as ploneers we have done our share in our particular lines for the generation to come, and when Fate will decree that we step aside for those more efficient, it will be with that pardonable pride which comes of having done our best to the satisfaction of an indulgent public and one another. Cheerlo! S. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1927 Tis Grantland Rice he called us, In those days of yore; When we viewed those battles With their dash of gore. When men of Gotham staked their all Upon results unknown; When New York battled Pitts burgh For the highest score.

On Feb. 27 the Student Circle Big Five travelled downtown to the Ascension Parish House and won over the supposedly good Ascension Aces 2-0, by forfeit. The white team, which has acquired a reputation by playing teams far below their own class and weight, refused to meet the Circle basketteachers, although there was a capacity house on hand to witness the game and dance. As a written contract is in possession of the Student Circle, this club intends to bring suit against the Ascension Aces.

Well, if Dempsey fails to take advantage of this offer he is really through, for the woodchopper of the Pyrenees is one of the best sugarcured hams that ever made a bid for heavyweight honors in this country. If Dempsey accepts Rickard's offer it will be a case of the former white champion coming back via a set-up. It is the opinion of the editor of these pages that Rickard simply made his first move in well laid plans to again foist a cheese bout on the public which the dummies will pay big money to witness. What fools even white mortals are! KNIGHTS' GAMES NEXT THURSDAY KNIGHTS' GAMES NEXT THURSDAY Entry to "Casey 600" Will Be by Invitation at These Indoor Games Frank A.

C. in three fast rounds at the Astoria Casey center last Friday night. The lads fought in the 118-pound class.

LEARN TO DANCE ANDERSON'S STUDIO 554 LENOX AVE, ROOM 14 Bradhurst 3572 AMATEUR BOYS AT IT HARD AMATEUR BOYS AT IT HARD Terry Roth and Sammy White Winners in Columbus Bouts Terry Roth, popular little amateur bantamweight from the Ghetto, gained a close but fair verdict over Stanley Cross, Trinity Club ace, in a bout that proved the feature of bib-monthly boxing show at Columbus Council, K. of C., last Thursday night. Roth was given a tough time of it by the Montague street scrapper. In fact, it was not until the final round that he clinched the decision. Cross had a alight edge on the East Sider when they answered the bell for the third session and Roth, realizing that all depended upon his showing in this stanza, tore out of his corner and, disregarding all the rules of clever boxing, sailed into Stanley with all he had. The latter put up a stiff argument for about a minute, but eventually gave ground and allowed Terry to pile up the winning points. Sam White, Beecher's Club, who socked Al Moskowitz, metropolitan lightweight champion, to sleep a few weeks ago, had to fight at top speed to win from Justin Hoffman of the National A. C. in the 140-pound special bout. White did his best to put over a haymaker, and Hoffman not only successfully evaded the sleep producer, but made the bout so close that an extra round was required to decide the winner. The summary: 125-Pound Class—Tony Scalfani, Montreal C, defender Larry McKane, gym, the decision. Jack Lombardo knocked out Louis Soley, Hudson Guild, second round. 147-Pound Class—Joe Salina, Groupia C, crasse, three rounds, decision.

BUT what we can't understand is: How should Charlie throw Mr. Miller down, to try the leat, Charlie didn't set a bit chummy, and in the bargain it was very humiliating and embarrassing to Mr. Miller, and the boys sat out of the Garden for home. The boys were all looking for Walk, but there was nothing doing. NOT so long ago four old CRONIN and opposing coaches, for the footnote, his fellows will these cold evenings, about the knuckle pushers of other days. Let them—Joe Jeannette, just gymnast owner; Charlie Mathson, boxing judge and former sports writer on the old Morning Herald, Godman and Joe Humphrey comprised the team. The of the gathering was at the New Ridgewood Grove Arena in Brooklyn. THE "talkfest" got off to a good start when Matthison and Woodman attempted to kid Jeannette, telling him was the greatest heweight ever for the GAB for quite a while and then you joined in: "Oh, now, gentlemen, they were wrong. Bobbuller Wella was the greatest." At the situation took on a bit of seriousness. JOE HUMPHREY was the speaker, and held his little group spellbound. He recalled old Purson Davia, Pater John, who boxed and defeated Jack Shavin in England, and his famous sixty-one-round draw with Jim Corbett in this country. He was on his knees in England and on my mind he was a great manager, but his protege was a better fighter than Purson was a manager, and just when he was about to be defeated if he had met Sullivan he would have defeated the Boston Irishman. Bill was smart enough to know that, and Sullivan's manager at that time of course the scrap didn't come off. JOE WOODMAN had another idea about the heavy weight situation, his being of Sam Langford. Joe was hushed by Mathison, who told of the challenge Champion Jack Johnson. Mathison said that Jack might have been a bad fellow and all that. In so far as reputation is concerned, but that didn't detract from his ability as a boxer. JANNETTE managed to get in a wowel now and then about his 49-round tilt with old Sam Meyley in Paris and others of his famous battles, but with that gang Joe's words have much weight. Just as many of the old gang must so did this. Joe Gans was the best lightweight that ever lived, and George Dixon. "Little opinion was unanimous. I've looked over this copy a dozen times and I didn't find anything was rotten. If my pay envelope is for将来 I'll have to pay it out of luck. Anyway, there'll be a column for the next issue. Musicians to Play Their Semi-Annual Billiard Tournament With the coming of Spring and baseball the musicians are particularly lineup for the closing billiard tournament, of the season 1926-27.

Last week we thought the column was a hundred—so much more than we thought on the back" in order. A tel-phone call from the CHIEF caused us to change the idea, and when he got up, he said, "I noticed that it wasn't so good after all. ROTTEN. ROTTEN. ROTTEN was his very work, and for a while it was so good, and for a while truly turning out, any junk this week. 448 this Kill White" roared the Chief. We answered in the affirmative and was all prepared to receive the reply. Instead of the "pat" here what I got: "Hey, do you know the General Manager is always in a book, each week to you for writing about boxers—what they're doing, etc." "YEP." I answered. in an unusually casual manner. "PRAYER the night before," thinking to myself that maybe a raise was coming my way. IT WAS A RAISE ALL RIGHT. I told that old antiquated staff from, writing about Sam landford and a benefit held a month or more ago; and what about needed to come here, maybe next June or July? Write about them when they get here. We want news for the CALLIELOWER column, not junk. Get me. "Leave the Walker A. C. alone. It isn't worth writing about.

I will follow who scan your BUM column want some fresh junk once in a while. At its best the fellows are jackers and the rest are saints and deliver something different for this issue. GOOD-BYE." NOW, follows, you know how it is. I live 'way out in the wilds of Jamaica, and it's next to impossible to follow the CHIEFS instructions in this issue.

MAGILL Talk and more talk featured the meeting of the Grand Lodge Convention Committee held Friday night at the Imperial Home. Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, the chairman, presided. It was nearly 10:30 before the meeting got under way and almost immediately the talk began. Whether the Grand Lodge session would be held in Salem M. E. or in Mother Zion A. M. E. Church, Mother Zion was selected by a vote of 45 to 42. Then came the settling of the Grand Lodge sermon and again the backers of Mother Zion won and, as matters now stand, the annual sermon will be heard there on Sunday, Aug. 21. The matter of the Grand Lodge ball was settled more easily. Madison Square Garden held the sermon in August, the committee voted to have the ball at the 369th Regiment Armory. Executive meetings will be held hereafter at least twice monthly and a meeting of the general committee will be held at least once monthly from now on. The parade, music and publicity committees reported progress, while the housing and entertainment committees reported real activities. MONARCH LODGE.

There are now forty-nine living members of Monarch who were charter members, and with the life membership presentation to Griffin, all are now in that class. P. E. R. William A.

A number of distinguished guests have been invited to the Inaugural Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finel, William East grand exalted ruler, George W. Wibecan, and the district deputy, Walter A. Peterson.

The occult significance of its use is unknown to the Modern Materialist, which is blind to hidden spiritual truths.

They were accompanied on the pipe organ by John Armstrong.

Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, has launched a movement to place busts of John E. Milholland in the library of Howard University, the office of the Crisis, and in as many schools and colleges as may be interested in preserving the memory of this present day champion of the weak, who died fighting the battles of humanity. The career of John E. Milholland is significant in the history of Negro liberation. He was a comparatively young man who took up the gauge of battle where the elders left off. Born in 1860, he was too young to participate in the titanic issues of reconstruction. When he came on the stage of action the old fires fanned into fury by the Civil War had died down to smouldering embers. One stronghold after another had been rendered to the forces of reaction on the New York Tribune, which retalued much of its prewar fire for human freedom and the rights of man. He was capable and nobly endowed. Talented, brilliant, of facile pen and ready speech. He was in close touch with the best political and cultural backing. There was no position within the gift of the people that was not within his easy reach. He might have been Governor of New York, the stepping-stone of higher political ambition; but he refused to pay the price. The civil rights statutes had been declared unconstitutional; Southern constitutions were being revised with the sole purpose of divesting the Negro of his guaranteed political and civil rights; the rise of the economic gospel had obscured the moral issues which had previously dominated national politics. Young Millholland gained his political tutelage under the stalwarts of his day and generation. He understudied Tom Platt, the one superlative political boss in the history of republican politics. He became editorial writer AT SOME point in the course of the development of any people they come face to face with the usual problem of the weary traveler - they must reach the crossroads. They must, like the traveler, choose at which angle they will turn in order to arrive safely at their destination. Thirty years ago a few families of colored people journeyed northwards from the fifth and squalor of the antiquated apartments and flats downtown in search, as they thought, of cleaner living quarters. They raised their tents near the site where the bathhouse now stands in West 13th street. There they unconsciously founded the Black City; there they faced the hostile jeers thrown missiles and the attacking battalions of the Irish and Germans who objected to the presence of the new comers. The Spanish-American War had just been brought to a close and, because of the fighting record achieved by the colored soldier during that conflict, the white population in New York City, high and low, rich and poor, warmed, as it were, to the colored population, and doors which had been closed to their labor were reopened to it. This was two years after the first Negro migrants had come to the future Black City. With this new wave of work and prosperity colored people were able to pay the higher rentals charged for Harlem apartments and the exodus from the Heights of San Juan and other sections downtown was on leadership, at first faint and uncertain and afterwards more pronounced, sprung from the midst of the recent migrants and formulated certain basic sociological ideals for the guidance and development of the newly founded Black City and its population. This development found slow growth until the outbreak of the World War, when the group cohesion reached its greatest point and served to focus attention to all the needs of the growing community. The first outstanding achievement of the black population in Harlem was the forcing of the Civil Service authorities of the City of New York to place colored policemen on the streets of the city. Next in importance was the passage of the bill creating the military organization—the "Old Fifteenth" Regiment. These two items of advancement MEMORIAL TO JOHN MILHOLLAND on the New York Tribune, which retained much of its prewar fire for human freedom and the rights of man. He was capable and nobly endowed. Talented, brilliant, of facile pen and ready speech. He was in close touch with the best political and cultural backing. There was no position within the gift of the people that was not within his easy reach. He might have been Governor of New York, the stepping-stone of higher political ambition; but he refused to pay the price. He stubbornly refused to shift the emphasis of his philosophy from moral to material issues. He stood practically alone. Point out. If you can, the young men of this day with his opportunity and prestige who held unfascinating to the grand old traditions of the Grand Old Party. Bianca had blazed the way. The party of Lincoln and Summer must no longer stress the rights of men, but the safeguarding of money. The very elect were carried away with the secreutiveness of the new doctrine. But it was not so with Millholt. By EDGAR M. GREY — Edgar M. Grey — come within one year of each other—the first in 1912 and the second in 1913. Within the next four years the sentiment and organization in the Black City forced the message of the new Civil Rights Bill, and during that same year sent the first Negro legislator to the halls of the Assembly at Albany. Then came the war and the growth and expansion of Negro business, riding on the wave of wartime prosperity. Marcus Carvey, with his Black Star Line, was making headway. By 1919 the political cohesion of the Negro had sent two representatives to the Board of Aldermen and the doors of Bellevue Hospital had been opened to the young Negro physician. Harlem was able to boast of a Young Men's Christian Association and an Urban League. Then came the construction of new church buildings and the establishment of the Roman Catholic and the Seventh-Day Adventists' schools; the opening of a day nursery for the use of the colored mother; the opening of the doors of the Harlem Hospital to the colored physician and nurse, and the establishment of the Booker Washington Sanitarium, etc. In the field of journalism there was established in 1909 The New York Amsterdam News, in 1912 the New York News, in 1917 the New York Voice, in 1918 the New York Independent, in the same year (in the fall) the Negro World, and in 1920 the New York Digest In the field of education hundreds of Harlem Negro have distinguished themselves in scholarship in the educational institutions of the city. Many books and stories have appeared from the white publishers and the white press dealing with the life of the Harlem Negro. Theatrical companies went out from the Black City. The Lafayette stock company did splendid work in the field. In the field of commerce and industry the stride has been A. B. DEAN KELLY MILLER. land. His was a voice crying in the wilderness. "Keep straight the highway of political righteousness." My first acquaintance with him was in the middle of the first decade of the twentieth century. His war cry was to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Most especially did he advocate cutting down Southern representation in Congress as a means of bringing the Bourbon to their political senses. He led this propaganda to the great disgust of the ruling politicians, white and black, of the time. Personally, I never did believe in the efficacy of reducing representation. I did not then and somewhat commemorate with financial yield of the black population. Hurlem soon had an Association of Trade and Commerce. From the small beauty parlor of Madame Crawford, on Lenox avenue at 132d street, spring the erection of the great Walker salon. From the small pigs feet and sweet potato pie lunchroom of Mrs. Greggs, on Fifth avenue at 132d street, have come the many delightful eating houses which resolve an ever-increasing patronage. In 1824 the campaign carried on for the candidacy of a colored man for the Congress of the United States marked the high point of community enthusiasm and group pride. Two department stores owned and operated by colored men were started; a moving-picture theatre and a first-class dance hall came close upon the heels of the erection of the Young Women's Christian Association Building. Several colored members of the police force were promoted to the rank of detective and three colored men saw service in the District Attorney's office and two in the Corporation Counsel's office. The Chelsea Bank employed a colored stenographer, guards and porters; the Public National Bank, a colored bookkeeper. The Post Office Department placed a colored superintendent in charges of the College Station and the United States District Attorney's office saw the appointment of two colored men to that staff. The United States Shipping Board used two Negro assistant attorneys and the rank of foreman was given to two men in the post office. White business houses operating in Harlem have, in a measure, given employment to colored men and women and the residents of the community have been rewarded by commissions in their own regiment. In the field of sports and athletics many champions have gone out from Harlem and made available records. In all walks of life the Harlemite has been given representation. Negroes boast of a Civil Service Commissionor of the City of New York and in one district of the Internal Revenue Department the Collector thereof is one of Harlem's oldest residents. The Black City has been the theme of writers, poets, musicians and artists of all kinds. This, then, is the score made by the Black City in achievement. What is its record in non-achievement? There is no Negro-owned bank; a colored life insurance company has only recently arrived; not one colored man or THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1927 By KELLY MILLER do not now, except in the narrow sense of technical conformity to the requirements of the Constitution. I had prepared an acceptable magazine article attacking that policy on the grounds which at that time seemed to me sufficient. But out of deference to the wishes of Mr. Mithholland and those closest to him in this cause, I agreed that I would withhold presenting my views out of deference to the general good at which they aimed. So I desisted from my endeavor under an agreement with the Hon. Archibald Grimke, who, at the time, was working shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Mithholland in behalf of curtailment, although I thought then, as I feel now, that the scheme was impracticable and unprofitable. Mr. Milholland not only sacrificed his political ambition by exposing the cause of the Negro, but his material fortune as well. His pneumatic process for handling the malfunction became involved in the vortex of politics. His espousal of the cause of the lowly certainly did not make, and possibly lost him, influential support in high places. Now, since he has sacrificed so much for us, we can at least show our appreciation by revering his memory. This leads me to say that, after watching the political game for many years, I am fully convinced that the Negro has lost out because he has not stood by his friends who advocated his cause in face of political adversity and defeat. The crafty politician is too prone to desert the friend who seems to be losing, although he might have served him in great stead in time of past need. Senator John Sherman, in the good old days, stood by the Ne woman has erected a building other than churches, a theatre and a casino. There is only one resident of Harlem in the Fire Department; the 369th Regiment is still commanded by a non-resident of Harlem; white women still sit in the cashier's cage of the white business houses of the community and too many non-residents of Harlem are engaged as clerks in the stores in the community. Foresight and courage needed to organize a co-operative movement to conduct business are lacking. The Nicaragua Negro Is Playing His Part The Nicaraguan Revolution in South America By A. M. THOMPSON Up to the present the Nator in the life of every natfact slightly to others of but this does not alter the time will come, however, forth impartially the deeds will of men of other nations most of Nero triumphs Up to the present the Negro has been a definite factor in the life of every nation. History passes over this fact slightly to others of apparently greater importance, but this does not alter the significance of the truth. A time will come, however, when the historian will set forth impartially the deeds and valor of Negroes as they will of men of other nations. On that day will dawn the greatest of Negro triumphs. Nicaragua has her quota of Negroes. Many of these are fighting in the present revolution, but their purposes and aims are different than those of the Liberal party whom they aid. The aim of the Liberals is to drive out the usurpers, the Conservatives, and place Dr. Sacasa, the constitutional president, on the seat. But to understand the purpose of the Negroes, it becomes necessary to know a little of the history of the Nicaraguan nation. a new tongue. This took time because the natives were not disposed to free intercourse with the intruders. Hardly had these people accustomed themselves to the change of events when they became aware of political injustices on the part of the Spaniards. Natives were not given offices in the government or were turned out upon the slightest pretext. By chiceryan the ballot was made the swing against them in all elections. Exorbitant duties were collected on imports Towards the early part of the fifteenth century, Nicaragua was divided longitudinally into two sections, the western section being governed by Spaniards and the eastern by a small tribe of Miskito Indians. The Indians enjoyed British protection; consequently, their schools and habits of living were largely adopted from the English. Native of the West Indies migrated to this section also, and before long the language of the inhabitants of Eastern Nicaragua was English. The English-speaking element, many of whom were of Indian extraction, called themselves natives or Creoles to be distinguished from full-blooded Indians. In the meantime, the Spaniards successfully invaded the territory of the Indians, and set up Spanish rule over the entire country. The natives were in sympathy with the Indians, whose lands were stolen by many of their oppressors. Again and again appeals were made to England for redress, but nothing ever was done to avenge the wrongs. Among other difficulties to be met by the infux of the Spaniards was the interrelation of MARTYR TO CAUSE OF NEGRO'S RIGHTS J. — John Milholland — gro's cause through thick and thin. But when he became a candidate for the Presidential nomination the Southern delegates deserted him for Gen. Alger who, it was said, furnished the more abundant and alluring political palibum. The great Ohio Senator turned away grievous, if not disgusted, with the constancy of the black man's friendship and the fatality of befriending him. If any public man in the latter part of the nineteenth century ever espoused the cause of There is no group consciousness. The colored voter is still the football of the white political leaders of all parties. Harlem has no outstanding Negro woman to speak for the Negro women of Harlem and the colored man is still asleep as a leader. The situation in Harlem is worse now than it was ten years ago. The Harlemite is at the crossroads of his community life. Will he choose the right or the wrong fork in the road? Shall he rise to the demands made upon him or blindly drift along? an Revolution in the Conflict Being Waged Negro has been a definite fact. History passes over this parently greater importance, significance of the truth. A when the historian will set and valor of Negroes as they On that day will dawn the a new tongue. This took time because the natives were not disposed to free intercourse with the intruders. Hardly had these people accustomed themselves to the change of events when they became aware of political injustices on the part of the Spaniards. Natives were not given offices in the government or were turned out upon the slightest pretext. By chicanery the ballot was the swing against them in all elections. Exorbitant duties were collected on imports and used to swell the coffers of the favored of the government. Forty per cent of the revenues of Nicaragua was exacted from the Atlantic coast and used for the benefit and improvement of the cities in the west. The Atlantic coast suffered Negroes and Indians suffered alike with Spaniards who had settled in the east. All this was endured for years without complaint. These Negroes, glorifying in their fortitude, kept hoping that a change would come. It came magnificently when, with a new spirit of freedom, the new Nicaraguan Negro burst the chains of oppression, fighting side by side with his Spanish brother. There was a great unrest in Nicaragua after Chamorro had declared himself Dictator. From every post he hirte the Liberal removed and replaced with the Conservative of his own party. Men were put in prison, shot and robbed. There arose a cry for a liberator from the tyrant. Who would answer? The heart of every native pulsed with new life when on Sunday morning, May 2, 1926, Col. George Hodgson, a prominent Negro dentist led a EDITORIALS --- SPECIAL ARTICLES REAL ESTATE AND FINANCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS political equality for the Negro it was Speaker Reed of Malta. By the sheer force of his great influence he pushed the Federal elections bill through the House of Representatives. The purpose of his bill was to protect the Negro in the right of the suffrage, as guaranteed him by the Constitution. On the other hand, Congressman McKinley of Ohio had taken up the tariff issue as the basis of his political career. He had professed no special friendship for the cause of political equality or the rights of the black man under the law. But when, in 1896, they were rival candidates for the Presidential nomination, the more attractive coffers of the Mark Hanna machine induced the Negroes to desert Reed and flock to the standard of McKinley. Cuney of Texas stands as a lone exception, crucified upon the cross of political constancy. The right-minded race ought to glorify that cross upon which he died the political death, rather than the cynic politicians who deserted their real friend for the material cause of the great protectionist. Verily, verily, they received their reward. I still further recall how Senator Foraker, the noblest Roman of them all, staked his political life in defending the reputation of the race against the pernicious policy of Roosevelt of condemning the Brownville soldiers without trial. When the doughty Ohio Senator, to vindicate the integrity of his attitude, allowed his name to be used for the Presidential nomination, the Negro delegates were corralled by his enemy, to the sacrifice of their great defender. I distinctly remember that one of the stal- band of Spanards into the barracks at Bluefields and won the first decisive Liberal victory with the loss of one life. From then until now the sentiment of the Negro is with the Liberal. The spirit which moves him has through the experience of war assumed a double significance. At the outset it was freedom for the natives of the Atlantic coast; now, regarding himself as a true son of Nicaragua, it becomes not for himself only but liberty for his native land. He believes. Like the Liberal, that the constitutional government should be in power; but regardless of the victor, Liberal or Conservative. it is his purpose to have the Nicaraguan government recognize him as a very vital part of its regime. Know New York State New York State has been the birthplace of (en) Secretaries of State. The first was John Jay, appointed by President Washington. The last was Charles E. Hughes. In New York State In 1926 there were 44,401 industrial accidents, including 1,831 fatalities. This was our-worst record, and showed an increase of 67,189 accidents over 1925. The first steam turbine ever built in the United States was installed in New York City to drive an electric generator in 1955. It used 12 pounds of coal to produce one kilowatt-hour of current. Modern turbines do this on one pound of coal. The Empire State in 1885 had 27 millionaires. There are now listed about 2,000, or one-fourth of all in the country. It is nearly three centuries since the first missionary came to New York State. He was the Rev. Jonas Michaelus of Holland, who was sent to New Amsterdam in 1628 by the Dutch West India Company to convert the Indians. Abram L. Harris Joins Messenger Staff A new addition to the ranks of journalism is Mr. Abram L. Harri, a brilliant student of economics and sociology, who has just been appointed assistant editor of The Messenger, a Negro monthly magazine published in New York City. Mr. Harris is a B.S. from Virginia Union University and M.A. in economics, University of Pittsburgh, and is at present working for a Ph.D. degree in economics at Columbia University. He was formerly assistant director of research and investigations of the National Urban League; was at one time teacher of economics at West Virginia College Institute, and just recently relinquished the post of executive secretary to the Minneapolis Urban League. He has contributed economic and sociological articles to Current History, Social Forces, Modern Quarterly. The Crisis and Opportunity. He is also author of "The Minneapolis Negro: A Social Survey." Above Success" wars of the Old Guard said to me amidst the Taft-Foraker contest for the Presidential nomination that he had reversed the doctrine of his lifetime, and was going to give his support to the candidate who had the best chance for success. He had shouted Foraker and Brownsville until he became hoarse, but he was not able to withstand so great a political temptation. His reason was entirely frank. He declared that he was getting on the political bandwagon because he was hungry, and that this was his last call for dinner. He got his dinner, such as it was. Verily, verily, he had his reward. I need not remind the reader how the Negro Southern delegates defeated the nomination of Roosevelt in 1912 when, despite Brownville, he was leading a new political movement which promised to recover for the race much of the power and prestige which it had lost under Taft. for the very man who had openly advocated their elimination from official consideration. It is due to instances of this type that the race has lost every friend that, it has ever had in public life. What is the use, they reason to themselves, to espouse their cause and sacrifice for their welfare when the testing time comes they will always be found on the side of the great.

Two hundred years ago insurance was classed as gambling in France and forbidden by law as contrary to public morals. Times change and lately a famous company sent this message to its policyholders: "You are stabilizing social conditions, binding generations together in a sound economic program changing the scheme of life for millions living and millions yet to be born." "Insurance is a business subject to all of the hard rules of business, but at the same time it is the most idealistic co-operative effort undertaken by the human race." the degree of civilization attained by humanity. The early Greeks invented marine insurance, being able to calculate roughly the chances of making successful voyages. Fire insurance was developed in Britain, where the insurance companies had for support the fire fighters. Life insurance in its modern forms is less than 200 years old. Today we know that insurance marks the difference between the helpless, savage and civilized society. The savage could neither foresee the future nor protect himself from the dangers which foresight would have rendered plain. Individually we are hardly better able to see the well tomorrow, but collectively we can measure the misfortunes we shall be called upon to endure and we can provide against them. The chances of sickness, accident, death and of most of the catastrophes which befall us can be calculated. The individual may be stricken, but the tribe can be safeguarded. Insurance has always reflected in a way Segregation Debate Dr. Kelly Miller and H. J.

Seligmann, in Articles, Differ on Its Effects The March number of Current History Magazine publishes two aticles on segregation — one by Dr. Kelly Miller pleading for segregation by tacit understanding between white and colored groups; the other by Herbert J. Seligmann, director of publicity of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, protesting against admitting the principle of compulsory or involuntary residential segregation in any form. In his essay Dr. Miller states that the "destination" of the Negro in large cities is to the Negro and move and have his social life in areas apart from the whites. He asserts that so far as the "border" between the race is concerned, "a tacit understanding, though perhaps not a formal agreement, will be reached, honorable and satisfactory to both white and black, upon whose mutual good-will and co-operation the welfare of our cities and of our nation depends." In his reply, Mr. Sellgmann maintains that no segregation understanding can be tolerable, since for the Negro to admit the principle at all is "to brand himself as inferior and to accent eat present inducement? Today there is not a man in either house of Congress who will stand in his place in the halls of legislation and advocate the full-fledged rights of the race. Any statesman who would now seriously advocate the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments would be considered besides himself. Political ingratitude has brought us to this lamentable political plight. As long as we put success above principle we will continue to remain in our present helpless public position. The inference is obvious, John E. Miholland was our friend. He was unsuccessful as the politician is wont to count success. He brought to fruition none of the reforms which he advocated. He was not a practical politician who never lets principle stand in the way of success, but he kept the faith. Verily, verily, he has his reward, which is infinitely greater than that of the thrifty and shifty politician bent on the spoils of office. We honor ourselves by honoring his memory. By showing our appreciation of the man who stood upright and downstraight for the application of the Constitution and the law to all American citizens, we show to the world that we are worthy of the priceless boon of American citizenship.

The managers of the enormous funds have tremendous social responsibility. Truly it is the people's money. It is possible to buy insurance against most of the measurable risks of man. Moreover, the fact that jointly we have to pay for accidents, sickness or death stimulates us to escape paying these penalties.

BROOKLYN AND LONG ISLAND SECTION Justice Humphrey Holds Out Olive Branch to Warring Church Factions Justice Humphrey Holds Out Olive Branch to Warring Church Factions The Reverend Shadrock Usry and Charles St. John, of Union Baptist Church, of Hempstead, L. I., Advised to Get Together and Settle Their Differences Mineola, March 8—Supreme Court Justice Humphrey, in the Nassau Supreme Court here last week, held out the olive branch to the warring factions in the Union, Colored Baptist Church, of Hempstead. One faction, headed by Charles St. John and the trustees and deacons, are plaintiffs against the pastor, the Rev Shadrock M. B. Usry, and other persons they claim are insurping the rights of the duly elected trustees and deacon to restrain them from interfering with the officers of the church. The plaintiffs had their innings Tuesday, February 29, the general dispute being over the membership. At an election held on December 6 last, according to St. John, the Rev Mr. Usry turned a business meeting into an election. at which persons, he claims, who had no right to vote participated. The election was for a year. Again on January 2 the plaintiffs say Passerby held another election and had himself elected for life, at which meeting some of the officers were removed and a new body of officers installed. St. John was sure he was able to speak with authority on the matter of membership and he was asked by counsel for the defendants to select from the courtroom filled with colored brethren, those who were not members. He pick out twenty-seven, who stood up at the side aide of the courtroom. Counsel for the pastor asked St. John what constituted membership of the church and he said a profession of faith and the pastor's hand of good fellowship. He admitted, however, that he had not attended every service and that it was possible the pastor had extended the hand of good fellowship to some of those selected by him as non-members. After some length Justice Humphrey agreed that the litigants might be able to get together and he urged that counsel for both sides meet and agree on the membership for the purpose of holding another election. The case was adjourned until Friday. If the list of members is agreeable, it is expected Justice Humphrey will advise to hold another election. Harry Griffiths, of Griffiths and Gardner, counsel for the plaintiffs, stated that he will agree on behalf of his clients if the list as found on the records of the church is submitted. Dean of Howard Junior College at Bridge Street "As we study and investigate we are constrained to admit that science and theology are reconciled, for God in His creation began with geology and astronomy, that is, he started with dead or inanimate matter, and then produce life," said Dr. Kelly Miller, dean of the Junior College at Howard University; during the course of what was described as a "lay sermon," before an audience of over 1,200 people that crowded into the spacious Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, Dr. Edward E. Tyler, pastor, Sunday morning, March 6. Dr. Miller's theme was "An Abundant Life." He based his remarks on the words of Christ, "I have come that they may have life and that more abundant." Dr. Miller also stated that life implies self-motion, self-growth and reproduction. God did this in the lowest form and concluded in the highest form in man, which indicates mind, conscience and soul he said.

Brooklyn Orders of Women Moose Lock Horns; Prospective Fight Looms Mrs. Anna Harrison, Prominent Member of Organization, Threatens to Bring Suit Against Leader of New Order Who Is Said to Have Withdrawn Quite a stir has been caused in local chapters of the Independent Protective Order of Moose, which is the women's branch of the Moose, over the announcement by Mrs. Anna Harrison, chairman of the trustee board of the Supreme Chapter of the Moose, that she has consulted her attorney and will sue Mrs. Rebecca Harden-Ridley, former supreme organizer and supreme secretary of the Supreme chapters for misrepresentation. Mrs. Harrison, who lives at Carlton avenue, and who is one of the organizers, and past noble queens of Behada Chapter No. 19, when seen by our reporter told how she had seen a copy of a circular letter said to have been sent out by Mrs. Ridley, telling of her forming a new body which was known as the Independent Protective Order of Moose. In this letter Mrs. Harrison's name was mentioned as one of the women behind the new movement. Mrs. Harrison was greatly incensed and has stated that she will demand $28,000 damages from Mrs. Ridley, because this literature, which was in the form of a prospectus, was maffled to a number of her friends and members of the order and it has placed her in a very bad light. Mrs. Harrison also stated that the name of another prominent member of the order who lives in Brooklyn appeared in the letter she alleges was sent out by Mrs. Ridley. It is the name of Mrs. Margaret Boone Quarles, supreme outer guard and member of the executive board of the Supreme body. Mrs. Quarles, when seen at her home, 516 Classon avenue, was greatly perturbed over the use of her name, also, and stated that she "wanted it understood that she considered such misrepresentation out of order and would also do her part in bringing the guilty ones to justice." Behind all of this is revealed a great fraternal battle among women, when the veil is withdrawn from the scenes of the Moose convention in Bridgeport. Conn. in 1935. According to reports, Mrs. Ridley, who had done much to build up the chapters of the order, was a candidate for supreme most noble queen, the highest gift in the order. There was much opposition to her due to the fact that most of the members of Bethsidia Chapter were against her, and Mrs. Octavius Washington was elected to that office. Mrs. Ridley was said to have For rebuilding Indigestion, Heart- harn, Bad Breath, Head-Dizziness, Pain and Headaches caused by over-eating.

The scene next shifts to Detroit, Mich., where in 1926 the Supreme Lodge of Moose, of which David McDaniel is supreme dictator, and the Supreme Chapter met in annual session. Mrs. Ridley is reported to have made another attempt to come back, but failed. She was the most noble queen of Queen Ether No. 20 at the time, and after she failed to get into power Mrs. Ridley is said to have carried most of her members with her in the formation of a new organization. This organization leaves out the word "Benevolent," which is the name of the older body, and is known as the Independent Protective Order of Moose. At this writing Mrs. Harrison stated that her attorney had failed to locate a certificate of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State, but inasmuch as she had legal evidence of use of her name, she would go the limit in seeing that this wrong was righted. Marie McKinney and 'Bob' Whitehead Quietly Married Miss Marie McKinney of Lexington avenue and Robert Whitehead of 207 Butler street were quietly married by the Rev. James B.

Barnes Dies From Pneumonia Allen Church Crowded at Funeral Services for Well Known Jamaican Several hundred persons crowded into Allen A. M. E. Church, South Washington street, Sunday afternoon, to pay the last tribute of respect to Thomas H. Barnes, one of Jamaica's most respected citizens. Mr. Barnes died at his late home, 237 Prospect street, last Wednesday morning, a victim of pneumonia. Mr. Barnes, who has been in poor health for several months, was born in St. Kitts, British West Indies, 52 years ago. He came to this country twenty years ago, and moved to Jamaica with his family about seven years ago. He was a tailor by trade, a member of Liberty Lodge 217. I. B. P. O. E. of W.: Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Jamaica No. 9610; Allen A. M. E. Church, and the Order of Moose, The Rev. George E. Coverdale, pastor of Allen Church, delivered the eulogy, after which the fraternal organizations took charge of the services. Tom Barnes was a familiar figure on the South Side, was interested in the community spirit idea, and had much to do with the growth of his neighborhood. With Allen B. Davis of 32 Dewey avenue he originated and founded what was known to hundreds of Jamalans as the Fraternal Club about four years ago. The club closed its doors the early part of this year, when Mr. Barnes' health failed him. Mr. Barnes is survived by a widow, three daughters, several other close relatives and a host of acquaintances. Funeral arrangements were in charge of Mrs. Bertie Dade and interment was in the Flushing Cemetery. Noted Evangelist Coming to Brooklyn Dr. Edward E. Tyler, pastor of Bridge Street A. M. E. Church, and the officers are completing arrangements for the coming of Dr. Ida Mae Myller, the noted evangelist of Indianapolis, ind., who will conduct an evangelistic campaign at this church from Sunday, March 20, until Sunday, April 3. She has just completed a very successful campaign at Bethel Church. Manhattan. Miss Myller was to have come to Bridge Street earlier, but her work was so effective in Manhattan that she was urged to stay a longer period than she had agreed to. A volunteer chorus of over 100 voices will aid her in the services. Alberta Morris Dismissed in Adams Street Cour Alberta Morris of 135 Putnam avenue, who was charged with assault in the second degree, had the case dismissed last week in the Adams Street Court. She was represented by Attorney Franklin W. Morton. It seems that Alberta and an unidentified woman got into an argument in an alleged "speakeasy" on Lawrence street on Washington's Birthday. The row was adjourned until they went into the street. There it was claimed that Alberta cut the other lady with a knife. Lawyer Morton proved by his questions that it was just a drunken brawl and the magistrate dismissed the case. Another Automobile Collision at South Portland Avenue A number of persons were injured several days ago in a collision at South Portland avenue and Fulton street.

Brooklyn Man Now a Success William Wallace Among Leading Undertakers Doing Business Downtown It has been a tradition in Brooklyn for many years that only Southern born or foreign born colored people raise themselves by their own bootstraps and make good in this community along commercial lines, but in William H. Wallace Jr. one finds an exception to this rule. Mr. Wallace, who is one of the younger generation of undertakers and embalmers, and who is located at 2 Fleet street, was born in the downtown section over thirty years ago, within a stone's throw of his present location. He opened up his place of business six years ago, after serving an apprenticeship under the late George Harris, one of Brooklyn's first colored men to enter this line of endeavor. In a talk with our reporter Mr. Wallace, who is a graduate of the Renault School of Embalming, told of his early struggles and his perseverance, and his determination to make good despite the many obstacles and uncertainty of business. While attending Public School No. 5 he added to his income by selling newspapers in the afternoon. Upon his graduation he attended Commercial High School. Upon leaving this school he went into the employ of Mr. Harris. Mr. Wallace told how when he went into business, even though it was a short time ago, white undertakers were doing the bulk of business among the older families of colored Brooklynites, and if anyone made inquiry as to why this was done the reply would be that this particular undertaker had done their work for years and they could not see why any chance should be made.

Abraham Lincoln was the cause of Cicero Miller, 25, of 2043 East Fourteenth street, stabbing his cousin, Henry Miller, of 2440 East Thirteenth street, on Lincoln's Birthday, according to Henry, who appeared in the Coney Island Court before Magistrate Folwell on Wednesday, March 2. According to Henry, he and his cousin Cicero were discussing the personality and achievements of the great Emancipator. One claimed that Mr. Lincoln freed the slaves because it was a good war measure and that, in so doing, he hindered the progress of the rebel forces. The other cousin did not take a similar view and landed the work of Mr. Lincoln and -stated that he did all because of his great love of humanity. This difference of opinion between the two relatives is reported to have become so animated that blows were resorted to as a more forceful means of argument. In the course of the row Henry was stabbed. Cicero is alleged to have disappeared after the fight. In court Cicero admitted the quarrel, but denied the stabbing. He stated that after the quarrel he was sharpening a pencil, and Henry, thinking he had drawn the knife as a threat, rushed towards him while the knife was open and was cut.

Mr. Wallace stressed the point that he was not raising the issue of the color line or racial prejudice, for he believed that wherever one was competent to do any work that one should be employed regardless of race, creed or color, but inasmuch as the white brother employed his own as undertakers and embalmers, it was only fair that we expect the same from our own. He stated that there has been a gradual tendency to get away from this and in a large measure this is due to some of our ministers, who have publicly called attention to this, and some have even declined to serve where one of our morticians was not engaged. Mr. Wallace has found time to also give attention to civic, political, religious and fraternal work. He also served as member of the Republican County Committee in the Fourth Assembly District for several years. He is a member of Feet Street A, M. E. Church, and is a member of the Masons, Odd Fellows, Elks and Pythians, having served as treasurer of Ulys Lodge, K. of P., for a number of years. Suged With Murder Person, Escapes Chair In Twenty Years to Life After Under in Second Degree in Anderson of Brooklyn of 2,340 Seventh avenue, Mang Sing for from twenty years Donzo G. McLaughlin for the person, 20, of 385 Cumberland staid Brooklyn some months Hodge was placed on trial last week. Assistant District Attorney James L. Cuff was in charge of the prosecution. Hodge was charged with murder in the first degree, which grew out of the slaying of Miss Anderson. One witness for the State had completed his testimony when the trial was halted and counsel for the defense offered a plan of guilty of murder in the second degree for their client. Assistant District Attorney Cuff consented to the acceptance of that plea. Judge McLaughlin, after he had read the testimony given before the grand jury against Hodge, also accepted the plea. Hodge was then remanded by the judge to Raymond Street Jail for sentence. Under the law Hodge must be sent to Sing Sing for from twenty years to life. Hodge caused the death of Miss Anderson by throwing her from the fourth story window of the house at 385 Cumberland street to the rear yard. The fight started over an accusation Miss Anderson made against Hodge, while her murder was the elimination of a dare she hurled at him. On January 15 last Hodge visited Miss Anderson and charged her with telling a woman friend of his that he was paying attention to another girl. Miss Anderson, who was busy with some washing at the time, admitted that she had told such a story to Hodge's friend. On his way home, the detective claim Hodge told them, after he had committed the crime, he went to a butcher shop and purchased a chicken, which he cooked and ate before retiring. When the officers arrived at Hodge's Seventh avenue home they stated that he was sound asleep, and they had considerable difficulty in awakening him.

Brooklyn Man Ran Into Path of Automobile Worry of his wife leaving him is reported to have driven John Taylor, 45 years old, to drink, and his love for strong beverage caused him to be seriously injured on Saturday night, it is alleged, for as he was attempting to cross Atlantic and Utton avenues, while fleeing from some men he was fighting, he was struck by an automobile. Taylor, whose last known address was on Hardimer street near Troy avenue, sustained a fractured skull. He was taken to St. Mary's Hospital. It is reported that Taylor engaged in a controversy with some men on Atlantic avenns and became very abusive. One man, whose name was not revealed, commenced to beat him up, and he ran from the scene of battle, and not being himself, went right into the path of the automobile. Even sober men and women have great difficulty in crossing the street at this point unless there is a traffic officer present, and Taylor was hit full force by the car. He was carried into a grocery store and given first aid until the arrival of the ambulance surgeon. Brooklyn Office: 868 Fulton Street.

Texas Loses ANOTHER NOTABLE victory has be won by the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People, the reversal of the decision of the low courts, in what has come to be known as the Texas Primary Case, growing of a law passed in that State four yeago prohibiting Negroes from voting the Democratic primary elections in State. IN THE ABLE BRIEF filed by attorneys retained by the National Association it was pointed out that: ANOTHER NOTABLE victory has been won by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the reversal of the decision of the lower courts, in what has come to be known as the Texas Primary Case, growing out of a law passed in that State four years ago prohibiting Negroes from voting in the Democratic primary elections in the State. IN THE ABLE BRIEF filed by attorneys retained by the National Association it was pointed out that: If, therefore, Negroes, who are in good faith attached to the principles of the Democratic party and are otherwise qualified, are prevented from voting at a Democratic primary, they are virtually denied the right to vote, so far as the right possesses any value. The mere fact that they, too, may go through the form of casting a vote at the general election, in ratification of what has been done at the primary, is a tragic joke. Though citizens, they are rendered negligible, because their votes, to all intents and purposes, have been nullified. To them the right of suffrage would cease to be that thing of substance which it was intended to be, and would be converted into a useless toy, a Dead Sea apple, the lifeless corpse of a constitutional right, if the legislation now under consideration were to be unheld. If this is not arbitrary classification by race and color; if it does not constitute a complete deprivation of the equal protection of the laws; if it is not an abridgment of privileges and immunities of a citizen of the United States, then it is impossible to conceive of any acts which come within those terms. Every white man and every white woman who possesses the qualifications mentioned in the act, however ignorant or degraded or mentally unfit, whether naturalized or native, may vote without let or hindrance, and every Negro, though posseasing all the qualifications prescribed by the statute, however intelligent and patriotic and industrious and useful a citizen he may be, though he and his ancestors may have lived and labored within the State from the time of its organization, is denied that right. We are not here concerned with a political question. It is one that transcends all politics. It is one which involves the supremacy of the Constitution both in its letter and in its spirit. MR. JUSTICE HOLMES, who deliver the decision, upheld the position taken by the attorneys of the N. A. A. P., concluding that "it is too clear extended argument that color can be made the basis of a statutory classification affecting the right set up this case." CONSIDER for a moment what a vicious for Texas would mean — the uprising MR. JUSTICE HOLMES, who delivered the decision, upheld the position taken by the attorneys of the N. A. A. C. P., concluding that "it is too clear for extended argument that color cannot be made the basis of a statutory classification affecting the right set up in this case." CONSIDER for a moment what a victory for Texas would mean — the uprooting of the last vestiges of the Negro's ballot, not only in Texas, but in all parts of the South; and what it means for Negroes to have an organization like the National Association, through which it can fight such laws. Individual effort, no matter how brilliant or from whom it emanated, could not cope with a situation of the kind and no attempt should be made to deprive the officers and members of the EDITORIAL PAGE association of the credit which is justly theirs in the accomplishment. Chief Amoah III. AND NOW King Nana Amoah III, who visited the United States several months ago, has been exposed as a scheming faker without creating any great amount of excitement. White American society has fallen down at the feet of old world royalty so many times to find out later that the idol was of cloven hoof, it would have been unfair to deny Negro Americans the sensation. THIS EDITORIAL FILLER, written more or less as a joke, when coupled with newspaper reports concerning Chief Amoah, which appeared prior to April 28, 1926, when it was published, the columns of The Amsterdam News and grave consequences. It was taken seriously by Chief Amoah's friends, by low chiefs of the Gold Coast; and, by earness to Chief Amoah and in cooperation for the endless amount of trouble and annoyance it caused him. The Amsterdam News is pleased to re-act it, even at this late day, in its firey. BEFORE making this retraction, The Amsterdam News completely satisfied itself that Chief Amoah is not a fake and that he is devoting his educational accomplishments and his life for the political and economic advancement of his projects, both with his super-government—the British Empire—and with the League of Nations, the latter of which he is a member. CITIZENSHIP has at last been conceived on the natives of the Virgin Islands. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE has ordered a reaction in the sentences of the retiring Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry, imprisoned for alleged participation in the Houston riots. THIS EDITORIAL FILLER, written more or less as a joke, when coupled with newspaper reports concerning Chief-Amoah, which appeared prior to April 28, 1926, when it was published in the columns of The Amsterdam News, had grave consequences. It was taken seriously by Chief Amoah's friends, his fellow chiefs of the Gold Coast; and, in fairness to Chief Amoah and in consideration for the endless amount of trouble and annoyance it caused him. The Amsterdam News is pleased to retract it, even at this late day, in its entirety.

Our young men emerge from the great senta- ring which dot the land from coast to coast and them handed together in traditionally classic letter societies. They represent the Alpha The Omega of our educated men. They purport the first and the last in character, intellect and ment. After them there is no more. A sert- tion now arises as to whether they are the the last; and, if first, first in what? If last, what? Are the Greek letter men Alpha or the young men leave their cloistered and ivory college walls walled with a burning zeal to As our young men emerge from the great sents of learning which dot the land from coast to coast we find them handed together in traditionally classic Greek letter societies. They represent the Alpha and the Omega of our educated men. They purport to be the first and the last in character, intellect and achievement. After them there is no more. A serious question now arises as to whether they are the first or the last; and, if first, first in what? If last, last in what? Are the Greek letter men Alpha or Omega? These young men leave their cloistered and lively covered college walls fired with a burning zeal to "carry on" in after life to glorious achievement the Utopian theories they have discussed across the round table. They pledge themselves solemnly with deep and mysterious oaths. They swear to invaluable vows of everlasting fraternity. These men, by reason of their vows, their brains, their culture, and their organization, should be the mighty and moving nucleus to energize every public effort for the best interests of the black people. These men should, by right of their pre-eminent equipment, be in the vanguard in every battle for the rights of a downrodden and struggling race. They should be the leaders in thought and action in any crisis that calls for men of decision. They have the right to claim for themselves the distinction of being that "active minority" which should always decide the destiny of any group, race or nation. But where do we find our Alpha men, our Omega men, our Alpha and Omega men? We find them in a heated wrangle as to whether the correct dress after six o'clock is a dinner coat or an evening frock. We find them seriously discussing the patterns of the latest cavatts. They are experts when weaving in and out of the most intricate steps of the newest dance. They also have learned the secret of the buttonholes in the coat sleeves of the "Master Lover of the Screen," but they have failed to fathom the hearts of their struggling brothers in blood. They have neglected to heed the call for earnest and intelligent leadership. They have danced merrily while their people became the helpless prey of the hungry wolves of public and political life. They dance, they sing, they fiddle, and Rome is burning down! While they argue over the invitation list to the next "trut" ball, twelve million black men and women are being tossed about on the angry and furious sea of race hatred. As they engage in friendly rivalries as to which traternity boasts "the swolest bunch of fellows," the jackals of finance are devouring their economic fabric, and political leeches are sucking their blood, and having bled them white, play them as pawns across the checkerboard of political strategy. Men who are fitted neither by character, intellect, nor background have currupted positions of leadership. The places of the mighty are killed by schemers and despoilers, but the "trut boys" dance giddily and heedlessly on. When the charion call is sounded for men of course and determination to rise up and fight for truth, justice and self-respect, our Greek letter men can't and the time. Again the question comes: If these Greek letter -: FILIBUSTERS "SAUCE for the 'goose" — "chickens come home to roost" — "who digs a ditch" — "turn about" — "the rule that works both ways" — and a thousand other sayings of the wise should be impressed upon the South right now. When that section used a filibuster to kill an anti-lynching bill, the filibusters were hailed as heroes. But now that another filibuster has indirectly hindered the passage of appropriation bills, which would have brought a lot of fat graft into southern states, the filibusters are plain devils. Of course! "That anti-lynching bill was to prevent Virginia from burning people alive; but the appropriations bills were to enable Virginia to modernize the battleship Nevada in the Norfolk navy yards—and incidentally to put several million dollars into Virginian pockets. That's different! 'What a shame to hold up the government's business like that!'" These appropriation measures also carried provisions for buying, laying out and beautifying old soldiers' cemeteries and parks in Virginia and North Carolina; and for "public buildings" in other parts of the South. And it's all right to beautify cemeteries for the dead; but to Another Side of Fi Another Side of Firestone in Liberia By ULYSSES S. POSTON In quest of rubber, in order ly competitive, luxury loving m stone Rubber Company has en company has entered into an rian Government, whereby 1,000 acquired for the purpose of gra 000,000 will be spent in this this investment, hopes to break pean nations. In quest of rubber, in order to supply a need of a highly competitive, luxury loving machine civilization, the Firestone Rubber Company has entered Liberia, Africa. This company has entered into an arrangement with the Liberian government, whereby 1,000,000 acres of land have been acquired for the purpose of growing rubber. Oyer $100,000,000 will be spent in this endeavor. Firestone, through this investment, hopes to break a monopoly held by European nations. This venture on the part of the Firestone Company is significant in many ways. It marks the entrance of American imperialism in Africa. It has focused public attention on a scarcely known primitive Negro republic. In the future Liberia will be of significance to white America as a supply place for a much needed commodity, rubber. To Negro America its significance will mean infinitely more. Liberia, to many Negroes are acquainted with its history and progress, is a symbol of a racta ideal. Even though primitive in form, Liberia is a republic, owned and controlled by Negroes, where the ambitions and aspirations on the Negro can find their fullest expressions. There exists in the hearts of many Negroes in America and the West Indian islands, who are dissatisfied with their lot of oppression, segregation and limited opportunities of expression, an urge some day to return to Liberia, with their knowledge of western civilization, and assist in the building of a modern republic which will be expressive of the culture and ideals of the Negro race. While the idea of nationhood is sacred and popular with many Negroes, it is stubbornly denied and fought by others of the race who have become assimilated into American life to the extent that they dissociate themselves from anything African. To this latter group Firestone's entrance into Liberia is significant in the same light as it is to white Americans: that is, in terms of rubber, trade and wealth. Were these Negroes employed by Firestone in its African project, they would approach the natives of Liberia with this same interest and point of view as any white American. Unfortunately, this lamp black white attitude is one held largely by the so-called intelligencia of the race. Most Negroes with this attitude or outlook are college bred Negroes, who seek a solution to the Negro problem in America through philanthropy, uplift, interracial and religious organizations. They have thoroughly mimicked a Nordic viewpoint. To them the Negro problem is one of class and not of race. To another group of the Negro population of America and the men are first and last, if they really are Omega, in what are they first, and in what last?

Let the accusation no longer be hurled by a disappointed people that they are Alpha in nothing that means anything and Omega in anything that means nothing! Let our fraternity men be Alpha and Omega in everything that means anything! Southern Candor There may be by-products of profit Senate filibuster.

Under the money bills, southern communities would have gathered in much graft during the beautifying and building processes; but under the Dyer bill southern communities would have lost money every time the publicly and unlawfully murdered a human being, white or black.

Firestone, through break a monopoly held by Euro- West India islands Firelessons entrance into Liberia is considered a tragedy to the native Liberians. This attitude obtains among the vast majority commonly classed as the working class or the masses, who through fate have been fortunate in not assimilating the Nordic culture and viewpoint to the extent of their sophisticated brothers. To them Liberia means more than rubber, trade and wealth. Liberia to them is life, Negro life unhampered: Negro life with an idealism, a soul, a culture, a nationalism. The Firestone program in Liberia is of vital concern to this group, which holds to the belief that there cannot be developed in America a nationalism and a race idealism under existing conditions as they affect the Negro. This group looks to Liberia for the realization of its ideal of racial nationalism. It is obvious to them that Firestone's activities in Liberia will retard them in realizing their dreams. Every report coming from Liberia points in that direction. The recalling of Solomon Porter Hood, a Negro, as minister to Liberia by our government, and the replacing of him by a white man as "charge daffaires": the sending of a white Southerner to Liberia by an American educational foundation to organize its school system; a public statement made by a prominent Negro bishop who sailed recently for Liberia that after a "futile" effort on the part of his church to find a young Negro to accept the presidency of the Liberian college, the only institution for advanced training, they were forced to send a white man to this assignment, and with a white fiscal agent in charge of the revenue of the republic, further stimulates the feeling existing among many Negroes that Liberia and its racial nationalism have been sold to an American rubber interest. The Firestone Company, being relieved of the task of fastening on the natives of Liberia a white conception of God by the work being done by the various religious bodies of America through missionaries, and insured through a white supervisor of schools and a white president of the College of ly are Alpha and in what are they longer that they ful amenities and is striving for the only charged that trials, but Omega station no longer lie that they are thing and Omega Let our frater everything that dor grain or two of u Bless concerning the structured feeling of I don't intend I don't see why We put these pr Negroes from vot and we don't intre We have zero only white people. Coollens I was astonished shocked that they This is a big con may be different, th may not be so different northern boss. They grain or two of unabashed candor from Senator Blease concerning the old-time, red-hot, unreconstructed feeling of Dixie. Said he—at intervals: I don't intend to apologize for my State and I don't see why any southern senator should. We put these provisions in our law to keep Negroes from voting. We don't let them vote, and we don't intend to. We have zero districts in the South where only white people vote and there ain't no Republicans. Coolidge got 1,100 votes in my State. I was astonished that they were cast and shocked that they were counted. This is a big country. But though their motives may be different, the fire-eating southern politician may not be so different, after all, from the big-city northern boss. Their ballot-box habits are certainly the same. LETTERS tended by the filibusterers. As we get it, Reed of Missouri, who would like to get the next presidential nomination from the South, wanted to "investigate" rotten elections in Pennsylvania and Illinois, and leave the eternally and perennially rotten elections in Mississippi and South Carolina undisturbed; while Reed of Pennsylvania insisted that South Carolina and Mississippi, where senatorial elections are always stolen by the stealing of the just votes of half the population, should also be included in the blessed investigation, if there was to be one. We agree with Reed of Pennsylvania. The South always wants to investigate, but never wants to be investigated. It was the bullying tactics of gentlemen from the South which finally aroused the men of other sections and resulted in freeing the slaves perhaps a hundred years earlier than they would otherwise have been freed. Perhaps these same bullying tactics will finally stiffen the backbone of the congressmen from other sections and cause not only the passing of an anti-lunching bill but also the regulation of at least the federal elections in the South and the overthrowing of the rotten oligarchies that now rule that section by the most brazen system of stealing and corruption of the ballot known in human history. We say: Investigate everywhere. Pennsylvania can stand investigation much better than can Mississippi. Liberia that the virtues and achievements of the white men will be extolled, while those of black men will be minimized; and with a white charge d'affaires to protect its interest politically, as well as a white fiscal agent to manipulate the finances of Liberia, the stage is now set for a drama which will bring wealth and rubber to America, but will destroy the soul of a nation and the aspirations of a people. Firestone in Africa will pursue methods used by such successful colonizers as the British and French companies operating in Africa. This work will be entrusted in the hands of thousands of white men who will be recruited from the Southern States and elsewhere, and who will be sent into Liberia without their wives and families. With $100,000,000 at their disposal, these men, with modern machinery, will transform a peaceful, primitive, non-competitive civilization into a beehive of modernization, which will mystify the unsuspecting native. This sudden transition of Liberia into a country of machinery and wealth by white men will cause the native confidence in the ability of his own kind to be shaken and his respect for his white exploiter heightened. With this accomplished, then will follow in logical order the destruction of the Liberian as a psychological and biological type. These white men, in giving expression to their sexual desires, will cohabitate with the Liberian women. Through the practice of concubinage, there will be produced the mulatto, who will later be used as a buffer class between the whites and blacks, thereby creating a problem heretofore unknown to the natives. Such a state of being will affect the national ideals and aspirations of the Liberian. Instead of the native Liberian appreciating himself as a racial type of the human family, he will become dissatisfied with himself and proceed to mimic his white explorer, as have a large number of Negroes in America. Then there will be introduced into Liberia the hair straightening comb, hair pressing oils, skin bleaches and cosmetics of all kinds. Many Negroes throughout the world are bitterly opposed to and resent the effort on the part of the white race to standardize civilization and culture to suit their pattern and convenience. They are satisfied to be Negroes and want to remain as such. Not because they entertain any belief of racial superiority or inferiority, but they feel that civilization will be enriched by the variety supplied by Negroes contributing to civilization as Negroes. A flower garden is beautiful because of its variety, so is civilization. If Firestone must have the rubber which Liberis affords, why not get it in a humane way? Why not entrust this project in the hands The Evening Post, March 4, 1975. Keeping Fit By E. Elliott Rawlins, M.D. Treatment for Fat People LAST week in my article "Are You Too Fat?" I told you of the chief food constituents which produce obesity. They were carbohydrates (starches) and fats. I told you also that the protein, water and mineral salts in foods are used for the formation and repair of the tissues of the body. of black Americans who can secure the same results as whites and in the meantime not contribute to the destruction of the nationalism of the republic? In view of the atrocities perpetrated against Africans in the Belgian Kongo by King Leopold, Negroes have no particular love for the rubber industry under white supervision. In case one is too fat, how then shall a reduction be made possible? The cause for this accumulation of fat must be ascertained. Frequently it is a combination of two or more causes: 1. An increased daily food supply with a diminished expenditure of daily energy. 2. A disturbed endocrine system. In nearly every primitive country where the American dollar has been invested by corporate interests, the stars and stripes have followed in the form of the marines. Negroes in America know of the horrors of the American occupation in Haiti. The history of the Virgin Islands under American ownership is replete with colorful tragedies. The Philippine Islands are tired and dissatisfied with American rule. America's foreign policy in Mexico and Nicaragua are fresh in the minds of thinking Negro Americans. MUSIC Program of Haitian Music to Be Given Under the direction of Mrs. Harriett Gibbs Marshall, a program of Haitian music will be given for the first time in this country on Thursday evening, March 10, at the Coachman's Union Hall. The program will feature the work of the Haitian composers and will give some idea of the type of music this people has given to the world. The program is being given for the benefit of the Jean Joseph Industrial School at Port au Prince, Haiti. Mrs. Marshall, who is the wife of Atty, N. B. Marshall, U. S. minister to Haiti, will make an address on conditions in Haiti from, an economic and industrial standpoint.

In case one is too fat, how then shall a reduction be made possible? The cause for this accumulation of fat must be ascertained. Frequently it is a combination of two or more causes: 1. An increased daily food supply with a diminished expenditure of daily energy. 2. A disturbed endocrine system—which produces a faulty metabolism. This disturbed glandular system may be faulty functioning of the thyroid gland, sexual glands, or pituitary gland. It is necessary therefore for a proper reduction of fat deposits that the person be thoroughly examined by a competent physician. The mere cutting down of the food ingested is not enough, though the regulation of the diet is from our experience the most important. It should be borne in mind that eating is to some degree a matter of habit, and that most people after early adult life eat too much. A gradual and persistent cutting down of the amount of food eaten changes the habit of the individual's food satisfaction. Soon the person is satisfied with the reduced intake of food. In my experience the following menu is a good one for those people needing a reduction in the fat forming foods: Breakfast—Cup of coffee with milk and sweetened with saccharin. Fruit—1 orange, apple, pear, one-half grapefruit. Eggs—1 or 2 boiled' or poached. Toast—1 or 2 small slices with alight amount of butter. 11:30 a. m.—Cup bouillon, or skimmed milk, buttermilk or fruit. Luncheon—Cup or clear soup. Two slices of lean meat or fish or eggs. Two varieties of green vegetables. Raw fruit. 5 p. m.—Tea without cream or sugar. Small slice of toast. Dinner—Raw oysters (in season). Lean meat or fish. Two varieties green vegetables. Salad, fruit or vegetable with small amount of French dressing. Raw or unsweetened cooked fruit. Deli-tassel black coffee. With such a diet should be added a certain amount of physical exercise. Exercise in the open such as walking, climbing, competitive sports such as tennis, swimming, skating are the usual forms for gradual reduction. Callisthenics at home or in a gymnasium, undoubtedly, if concientiously followed out, will aid in the removal of fat. In the majority of cases, some constipation will result at the beginning of the reduced diet, due to the diminution in the bulk of the residue of food in the intestines; in such cases a cathartic will be necessary at least for a time. ATLANTA, March 7.—The annual report of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation has just been issued and, according to announcement from the Commission's headquarters here, will be sent without charge to anyone requesting it.
