JERSEY OFFICERS BEAT UP POSTAL EMPLOYEE
Protested Brutal and Unwarranted Assault on Another Man Defended by Atty. J. Mercer Burrell
NEWARK. March 7. James H. Fultz of 96 Congress street was arrested on Lafayette street near Railroad avenue Saturday evening, charged with interfering with an officer. It is alleged by Mr. Fultz that during his arrest he was beaten about the head with clubs by the officers, suffering severe lacerations to the scalp with a possible fracture. 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

Fully Equipped Four-Door Nash Sedans to Be Awarded First and Second Prize Winners $750 in Cash
The Amsterdam News makes an announcement today that will be of intense interest to every reader of the paper every man, woman, boy or girl. Everyone knows the tremendous strides The Amsterdam News has made in public favor. Its ever-increasing circulation proves this conclusively.
Without undue egotism The Amsterdam News is bringing to its readers the news of the country in a concise and readable form, along with the news of this section of the country. It discusses national, state and municipal questions in a thoroughly independent manner.
Beginning this week The Amsterdam News has launched an "Everybody Wins Campaign" for subscriptions, after which there will be a Grand Distribution of nearly $4,000 in prizes.
Everyone will be given the opportunity of becoming the recipient of a valuable prize without the expenditure of a cent. Every man or woman, boy or girl is eligible to enter the campaign except persons connected with the paper.
When you have once been nominated, either by yourself or a friend, you are given a rare chance to make use of any spare time you may have and secure a valuable prize or share in the very liberal percentage distribution for those who do not win a prize. The amount of the award or prize you win will depend entirely on yourself and the interest you take in your campaign.
REMEMBER not a cent of investment is necessary now or ever. It costs you nothing to enter this "EVERYBODY WINS CAMPAIGN." All you need to do is to nominate yourself by using the nomination blank, which appears at the bottom of the first page. You then start earning votes right away. If you do not wish to nominate yourself you may have a friend nominate you. See the big announcement on another page of this issue.
The plan adopted for awarding these exquisite prizes is the fairest and most impartial imaginable. Friends and readers of this paper are to decide the winners of all the prizes. Free votes will be the means by which the winners will be decided.
The Amsterdam News has provided that every participant who takes active part in the campaign will be handsomely compensated for all the time and effort expended.
It costs nothing to become a candidate and to win one of the big prizes. You are not bound by any specific requirements. It is not required that you even be a subscriber to The Amsterdam News. You may devote just as much or as little time as you wish to the pleasant pastime of collecting votes, with the assurance that you will be handsomely rewarded by The Amsterdam News.
You simply cannot lose — "EVERYBODY WINS," and the best part of it is that all the prizes are so valuable that no effort is too great to win any of them.
OUR SLOGAN. "EVERYBODY WINS"
Imagine winning a Brand New Special Six Nash Four-Door Sedan for a few days' pleasant effort in vote getting. All you have to do is to simply gather in the votes, and when once you get started you will be surprised how your votes will grow.
The outstanding feature of this campaign is that there are absolutely no losers — cash commission will be paid to all non-prize winners who remain active during the contest.
This in itself is an excellent proposition. The object of this campaign is to advertise The Amsterdam News, to secure new and renewal subscriptions, and last, but not least, to win a more warm welcome for it everywhere through service.
In short, The Amsterdam News will reward its friends very liberally, indeed, for their assistance in introducing the paper into more homes.
This campaign will not be a long-drawn-out affair. It exetnds only over a period of a few weeks, closing May 7.
As a candidate in The Amsterdam News "Everybody Wins Campaign."
NOTE: Only one nomination think accepted for each candidate nominated.
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. According to an entry in a family Bible of a Virginia family on whose plantation she lived until nine years ago, the woman was born in 1804.

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."

Commission Revoked
BALTIMORE. March 7.——The president of the Republic of Liberia, his excellency C. D. B. 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.

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

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.
The Texas "White" Primary Case was fought by the N. A. A. C. P. through all the Texas courts

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.

Marie De Gronte, 29. 19 East 154th street, and Margaret Mosley, 22. 115 East 130th street, were held in $2,500 ball each for a hearing on Friday, when they were arraigned on Monday before Magistrate Edward Well in Harlem Court.
Martha Green, 14 East 132d street, charged that the two of them attacked her in her home, following a verbal dispute. The two women were arrested by Policeman Gavigan of the East 126th street station.
Miss Green alleges that Miss Mosley assaulted her with a razor, inflicting many wounds on the head, arms and body. She says that Miss De Gronte kicked her and punched her. The assault, she told police, was entirely unprovoked. Both women deny her charges.
An ambulance physician from Harlem Hospital was summoned, plus Green refused treatment. In Harlem Court, however, during the hearing, she collapsed from loss of blood and the pain of her injuries. she promised to go to Harlem Hospital for treatment after the hearing on the Magistrate's advice.

Rhinelander Claims He's Nearly Busted
WHITE. PLAINS. 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.
Justice Morschauser reserved decision.

N.A.A.C.P. Wins in Texas Case
N.A.A.C.P. Wins in Texas Case
(Continued from Page 1.) and the Federal courts, ending with the U. S. Supreme Court in Washington. 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.

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.

ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 7.—Conrad Paeben, white receiver at Poro College, read the riot act last week to the employees of the concern.

Garner, whom he retained as his assistant. Paeben also has discharged Charles S. Stone, manager of personnel. It is also reported that he re-employed a woman whom Mrs. Malone had discharged, who had been employed as a secretary for Mr. Malone and who, it is claimed, secured witnesses for his side of the divorce tangle.
Some of the definite charges made against the receiver are that he had a check for $500 drawn in favor of himself. Mrs. Malone's lawyer, Mr. Kirby, hailed Paeben before Judge Moses Hartman and demanded to know what the receiver was going to do with the check. Paeben refused to tell, saying he would explain to the judge in private. Friday he returned the check uncashed to Poro.

MASS. 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.

Dear Robert:
I hope you were well! Everything O. K. in Cleve, Say, Job,
I notice all the girls and boys of Cleve, have such beautiful
hair. Their hair won't quit looting so good. I asked
the night clerk at the Majestic Hotel what everybody in Cleveland is
using to their hair and be shouted, "PELLO!" He told me to go
more to O. K. Cleve, and buy a jar of PELLO.
Well, Bob, you should see my hair today. I just finished an appi-
lation of PELLO. First I washed my hair with castile soap, and while
it was wet I rubbed PELLO into my hair. Bob, you remember how
kinky and unruly my hair was, but say, brother, PELLO made my hair
so soft, silky and glossy, and laid it down—and I don't mean maybe.
Bob, I am making you a jerk. Try it out and tell me about it. Love!
Your Buddy, CHAK LEWIS.

LIFE HAS MANY bigger and better thrills than a petting party can ever give. "Petting involves emotional excitement. 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. With this in mind, let us ask 1927 to bring forth some other form of pastime—a safe one—for the youth.—T. E. B.

Beauty Secrets
By

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." I wanted to read this article

Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN
Should She Meet Him at His House?
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.

EGYPSY ANN.
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.

Paign and win a prize. Campaign begins at once and nominations may be
made at eny 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
Yotles being represented by ballots issued on each subscription. In case of a
tle an identical prize will be given to those tied.
Subscriptions may be secured anywhere. Cash must accompany all sud-
scriptions 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 depart-
muent_must represent subscription payments,
Votes are not transferable. One candidate cannot withdraw in favor
of another, Should a candidate withdraw from the campaign his of her votes
will be canceled. .
Ballots issued on subscriptions may be held in reserve and voted atzhe
discretion of the candidate.
No statement or promise made by the solicivor, agent or candidate vary-
ing 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 ner the campaign manager shall be responsible, except -o make
the necessary corrections. .
Tt 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 commls-
sion to all ACTIVE non-prize winners, but it is distinctlygunderstood that in
event 2ny candidate becomes INACTIVE, failing to mike a weekly cash
report after making the first one, he or she wilt become disqualified and

To insure absolute fairness in awarding the prizes the campaign will
be brought to a close under a “sealed ballot'box” system and will be under
the personal supervision of two or more Judges selected from the Ad-
visory Board.” During the entire last week of the campaign candidates and
their friends will deposit their fina] 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 fair-
ness to the minutest degree.
The Amsterdam News reserves the right to amend the rules of this elec-
‘tion 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 con-
itions. oo

Mrs. Downs' Lincoln and Martinson and Nibur's Crescent Were Pioneers
But in Their Wildest Thoughts Anent Drawing in the Money They Never Gave Harlem Anything Approaching That Dance of Last Week
It was a dance, such a dance, and not the kind they do in old Virginee-ia. 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

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

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-

Colleen Moore Here This Week
Will Be Seen in "Twinkletoes" at the Douglas
Theatre
London's Limehouse, a practically untouched picture locale, yet one which offers perhaps the greatest background in all the world for dramatic plots, is used in "Twinkletoes." 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.
Butterbeans and Susie

Popular 'Prince of Actors' at Renaissance Theatre
The prince of actors, Adolphe Menjou, comes to the Renaissance Theatre Thursday and Friday, March 10 and 11, in that sizzling picture, "Blonde or Brunette." He is supported by Greta Nissen and Arlette Marchal.
What is your preference, blondes or brunettes? See this picture and learn the significance of both. The picture is full of gripping interest from start to finish and is certain to please.
"The Great Gatsby." with Warner Baxter, Nell Hamilton and Lois Wilson, will be the week-end attraction at the Renaissance Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday, March 12, 13 and 14
This is a brilliantly dramatic story from the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald and a Herbert Brennon production. 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."

Timely Picture at Roosevelt
"Wandering Girls," Judging From Story in "Fire," Should Sit Up and Take Notice
"Wandering Girls," the latest Columbia production featuring Dorothy Revier, will be at the Roosevelt Theatre this week. 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.

"Jack's" One of the Most Popular in Harlem
Ordinarily it takes plenty of noise to call attention to those cabarets in Harlem just getting by, but when one will have observed with what joy patrons make the trip to "Jack's" at 71 West 135th street, no reason for wonder at the lack of bell ringing and drum beating to attract attention.
Observation has disclosed a brand of entertainment at the stand made famous by the late Jack Connors unsurpassed anywhere in this section of the city. The entertainers number such well known artists as Mary Ray, Baby Benbow, Ellen Coles and Johnnie Davis.
In charge of the entertainment features one finds Charlie Green. who is ably assisted by Mac Olden and six charming hostesses, and

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.

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.
A Dangerous Condition
"There was a time when my health was not so good," save Mr. Miles Hopkins, of Cattlettaburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas paina. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headache, and I felt sluggish and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for
so I thought I would try it.
For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison.
"I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O. K. again.
"I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great sid."

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. Nearly all the members of the coming tourisls sport the colors of the Club Nacional de Football of Montevideo, which has been so prominently before the sporting fans for a number of years and their record is one of the most im-

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.

Ford, who had won the championship two times, was again successful and defeated Aaron. During the tournament Aaron eliminated Joe Merola (captain of Evander-Childs High School). Merola had been the medalist in the qualifying round, scoring 66.

ST. 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. Fine crowds continue to make the trip to the Renaissance Casino to witness these Sunday night games.
In the preliminary contest the Metro Diamonds defeated the Mother Zion Quint 25-21. On last Friday night, Manager Randolph and his fast Majesties defeated the Regal A. C. by a 29-15 score. 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.

STATE COLLEGE BEATS PAINE
Southern Girls in Brilliant Cage Clash at Arongeburg
ORANGEBURG, S. C., Feb. 26. State College girls broke through the strong defense of Paine College in the last minute of play to win one of the most exciting basketball games ever witnessed in this section by a score of 5 to 4.
In the first half the defensive play of both teams was so effective that neither was able to score a goal from the field. Scoring during this half was made from the free throw. Paine tallying with two points, while State cased one. The second half saw the same strong defense but Paine, sending in Copeland and Brinson, managed to break through and score the first field goal of the game to carry their total to four points, while State had only one. This condition prevailed until the last minute of play, when Taggart twice dorged under the basket and caged two field goals. Pandemonium reigned. The final whistle blew with score 5 to 4 in favor of State.

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.

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!

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.

Please, Mr. Rickard, Don't Make Us Laugh
An inspired article let loose in the daily papers Monday afternoon tells us that Tex Rickard has offered Jack Dempsey a chance to meet Pauline (Ugh) Uzcudun. 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!

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.

boxing. If he wasn't, oh well, he got a suspension.
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. Although quite a few are still out of town they hope to get home in time to get in on this matinee exhibition, which is open to musicians only and will be played afternoons for the convenience of themselves and friends.
Instead of a handicap affair as heretofore there will be three classes B, C, D, all start from scratch. The two winners of each class will be rematched for another round robin and the three winners of this will play off for the musicians trophy. Each winner of his class will be presented with a handsome ivory jointed cue by the management of the Lafayette Billiard Emporium. This tournament will begin Tuesday, March 15, afternoons only. Admission free. Entries up to date are:

THE above is nothing more or less than to serve notices on the BIG CHIEF of these pages that times are coming, say, "something will have to be done; that's all." 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. And, too, you curried a lot of junk about Perfumery and that TIGER FLOWERS affair in Chicago. I'll write about that game when the occasion calls for it. What happened with that fresh air get around some of the gymnasiums, keep your glimmers peeled and see if there isn't some like that fresh air. 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. You'll be with me till it weathers his little rain and transportation a little better. I promise to do my best. Really. I didn't know I was so bad until I got home. It would be a great thing if all of us were placed in a position TO SEE OURSELVES AS OTHERS SEE US.
WHILE at the New Madison Square Garden Friday evening a week ago I held the inaugural whip over Charlie Anderson, the Windy City heavy-weight who boxed Tom Heiney of New Zealand in the semi-final to the Knute Hansen sulino fracas. When Walking With Larry Humphreys, Harry Sagel, Bob Levy and Lou Brown an earful about Anderson.
"WATCH this big boy step tonight." beloled Walk to the step.
"What about that last bout of his in the Garden, when he quit in the fourth round" came back Humphrey. "Oh well, that was one of the breaks a fellow gets once in a while. You'll have his best tonight. Watch him boys."
Of all the hams I've seen in my life, the worst. York, honestly. Charlie the rover. the worst. THE DUME DUKEN called Charlie to the Commission and handed him the rover. The DUKEN claimed he was not trying. Whether Charlie was or not is not important. He ought to stop plying his trade and go to sit at something he can do better than

ruler, arranged for appearance of
Imperial's band and. quartet last
Tuesday night, :
Previous to thelr appearance in
the lodge room in Inmperial Home.
160 West 129th street, the quartet
broadcasted over Station WPCH.
‘When the, band and the singers ar-
rived at 10:30, 700 members and
friends of Imperial Lodge were on
hand to hear the program. Among
the invited guests were eleven
members of the Flower Club of Eu-
reka Temple No. 22, Imperial’s fe-
male branch, led by the club prest-
dent, Irene Gaines, and the davgh-
ter ruler of the Temple, Corrine
Prschall.
Preceding the 11 o'clock service,
the band, under Bandmaster Elmer
Goodwin, played, several selec:
ons. The 11 o'clock service that
followed was most impressive and
stamps Imperial as foremost in
Kikdom in the manner that the
lodge carries out those formalities.
In conection with the service, tho
quartet rendered beautifully’ sev-
eral of the spirituals. The quartet
lg composed of John Shells, John
Brown. Rutus Pugh and John Byrt.
They were accompanied on the
pipe organ by John Anastrons.
John Skelton, a new member of
Imperial Glee Club, sang “Waile in
do Water,” arranged Ly Burleish.
and as an encore he wang “Stand-
ing in the Need of Pruser.”
Archie Rranch, charter member
of Imperial, responded for the
lodge to the speech of Mrs. Gaines.

“Nicaragua has het quota of
Negroes, Many of these are
fighting ™m the present rerolu-
tion, but thelr purposes and aims
are different than thor of the
Liberal party whom they aid.
The aim of’ the Liberals ix to
drive out the unurpers, the Con-
servatires, and place Dr, Sacasa,
the conatituttonol president, on
the seat. But to understand the
purposen of the Negroes. it be-
comes necessary to know a t-
tle of the history of the Nicara-
‘guan nation. *
Towards the early part of the
nideteenth century, Nicaragua
was divided longitudinally into
two sections, the western sec-
thon being governed by Spaniardn
and the eastern by a small tribe
of Miskito Indians. The Indians
enjoyed British protection; con-
rcquently, thelr schools and
habits of living were largely
adopted from the English, Na-
tyes of the Went Indies migrat-
ed to this section also, and be-
fore long the language of the in-
habitants of Eastern Nicaragua
was English. The English-epeak-
ing element, many of whom were
of Indian extraction, called them-
relven natives or Creoles to be
dintinguished from full-blooded
Indians. °
in the meantime. the Spaniards
successfully invaded the territory

to Establish Y. W. ©. A.
On Feb, 3 a committee meeting

At the meeting ideas were ex-
changed and various topics discuss-

also employed the white men,
Mr. Wallace stressed the point
that he was not raising the issue
of the color line or racial preju-
dice, for he believed that wherever
one ¥us competent to do any work
that one should be employed re
gardlesx 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
rom this and in s lerge measare
this is due to some of our minis
ters, who have publicly called at-
Yention to this, and some have
even declined to serve where one
of our morticians was not en
eaged.
Mr, Wallace has found time to
also give attention to civic, politi
cal, religions and fraternal work.
He also served as member of the
Hepublican County Committee in
the Fourth Assembly District for
several years. He is a member of

Mr. and Mrs. George Sinclair Among Prominent Members of Jamaica Colony
Residents of Jamaica. L. I., are becoming more and more attached to the homes which commca sense and economy have served in inducing them to procure and bid forever the landlords of the larger centers washing fat on exorbitant rentals for apartments without the sunshine and air of the suburbs.
And more and more are these homes becoming centers of social activities which find those making their homes here without the "urge" for the big city with its harsh mode of living and lack of that spirit of "comeraderie" to be found in small towns. Recently Mr. and Mrs. George E. Sinclair were among those entertaining at a whist party at their cosy home, 103-36 Union Hall street. The Sinclairs are among the prominent families establishing in Jamaica and vicing in doing their share towards the entertainment of friends not only in this suburban town, but from Brooklyn and New York City.
Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. W. Redman, Dr. and Mrs. Reid, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shaw, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Dougherty, Mr. and Mrs. E. Mikell, Mrs. O. Mikell, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Pinkney, Peter Huffsted, Miss Dorn Huffsted, Miss Anron, Ferdand Levy, W. Humes and Mrs. Claudia Jefferson, mother of the hostess. First ladies' prize was won by Mrs. R. L.

Texas Loses
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
ceurts, 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 attor-
neys retained by the National Associa-
tion it was pointed out that:
Ui Gt yes pointed Oul iat:
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 possezees
any value. The mere fact that they,
too, may go through the form of cast-
ing 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 nulli-
fied. To them the right of cuffrage
‘would cease to ke that thing of sub-
stance which it was intended to be,
and would ke converted into a use-
less toy, a Dead Sex apple, the lifeless
corpse of a constitutional right, if the
iegislatior new under consideration
were to ke upheld.
If this ic not arbitrary classifica-
tion by race and color; if it does not
censtitute a complete deprivation of
the equal protcction 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
possessing all the qualifications pre-
scribed by the statute, however intel-
ligent 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. .
AR. JUSTICE HOLMES, who deliver:
he decision, upheld the position
en hy 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
Sification affecting the right set up
his case.”
ONSIDER ior 2 moment what a vice
‘for Texas would mean — the up-
ting of the last vestiges of the Ne-
's ballot, not only in Texas, but in
parts’ of the South: and what it
ns for Negroes to have an organiza-
like the National Association,
ugh which it can fight such laws.
vidual effort, no matter how bril-
t or irom whom it emanated, could
cope with a situation of the kind
no attempt should be made to de:
e the officers and members of the
association of the credit which is justly
theirs in the accomplishment.
Chief Amoah II.
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 bas 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 te
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 Chiei Amoah and in cons
sideration for the endless amount of
trouble and annoyance it caused him.
The Amsterdam News is pleased to re-
tract it, even at this late day, in its
entirety. |
BEFORE making this retractios, The
Amsterdam News completely satisfied
itself that Chief Amoah is not a fake and!
that he is devoting his educational at-|
tainments and his life for the political,
social and econcmic advancement of his,
subjects, both with his super-govern:
ment—the British Empire—and with
the League of Nations, the latter of
which he is a member. *
CITIZENSHIP has at last been con-
ferred on the natives of the Virgin Is:

we get it, Reed of Missouri, who
would like to get the next presi-
dential nomination from the
South, wanted to “investigate”
Totten elections in Pennsylvania
and Minots, and leave the eter-

tions in Mississippi and South

of Pennsylvania insisted that
South Carolina and Mississippi,
where senatorial elections are
always stolen by the stealing of
the just votes of half the popu-
lation, should also be included in
the blessed fnvestigation, if
there was to be one.
We agree with Reed of

wants to be investigated. It was
the bullying tactics of gentlemen
from the South vhich finally
aroused the men of other sec-
tions and resulted im freeing the

earlier than they would other-
wise have been freed.
Perbaps these same bullying
tactics will Gnally stiffen the
backbone of the congressmen
from other sections and cause
not only the passing of an ath
lynching bill but also the regula

Uloms in the South and the over

It should be borne in mind
that eating is to some degree a
matter of habit, and that most
people after early adult lite eat
too much. A gradual and persis-
