COLONEL OF 369TH Man Accused Year Ago of Prejudice in Camp Smith at Peekskill Now Second in Command of Famous Regiment With the signing of the papers by Governor Alfred Smith last week, Major John C. Grimly has now become Lieutenant - Colonel of the 309th Infantry of the New York National Guard. His official presentation to the regiment will occur Friday night at the review to be held at the armory in honor of Col. William J. Costigan, commanding officer of the old 69th, now the 165th Infantry, New York National Guard. ACCUSED AS NEGRO HATER. One year ago the rumor was current that Major Grimly would be mained colonel of the regiment following the resignation of Col Wm. A. Taylor, present commanding officer of the 369th. Col. Taylor, however, did not resign, and the man who was at that time accused of being a race hater, has now secured the next best assignment in the regiment, that of lieutenant-colonel. Lieut.-Col. Grimly came originally to the regiment as head of the Medical Corps. He is prominently connected with the Columbus Hospital, an institution that has long been said to practice discrimination against colored people. Two years ago, when the 369th was in Camp Smith at Peekskill, the then Major Grimly was charged with refusing to send sick soldiers to the camp hospital for no other reason than that the nurses in the hospital were white. He is also said to have paid his respects to former Major William H. Jackson and to have informed Jackson what he would do to him if he had Jackson in the South. HIGHLY AMBITIOUS Grimily is rated as highly ambitious and with having very fine connections politically with influential officials, not only in the State, but in the country.

Brother's Knife Attack on Sister Proves Fatal As the result of what was thought to be a minor wound, inflicted during an alleged attack with a knife by her brother, Charles Skinner, 54. 69 West 130th street, on March 20. Mrs. Florence Robinson, 209 West 128th street, died at her home eight days later, and was buried Thursday from Mother Zion A. M. E. Church, 138th street, near Seventh avenue. Skinner was booked on a homicide charge in Heights Court as a consequence of his sister's death. The real victim of Skinner's alleged attack was his nephew, Joseph Robinson, who was removed in a serious condition to Harlem Hospital Sunday morning. March 20. Robinson said that his uncle had been acting strangely for some time, and had gone suddenly insane when he made the attack. Skinner was held in $2,500 bail by Magistrate Renaud in Heights Court, March 21, and was booked on a charge of homicide March 28. when Patrolman Sheehan of the West 135th street station informed the court of Mrs. Robinson's death. Odd Case Grows Out of Bail Bonds George Taylor May Be Victim of Mistaken Identity What is believed to be a case of mistaken identity occurred when George Taylor, 37. 666 St. Nicholas avenue, was arrested by Lieutenant Patrick Hickey and Detective Duane, of the West 135th street station, and arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate Oberwager, charging Taylor with perjury. The description of the man wanted nearly fits Taylor, but the are is given as 32. Magistrate Oberwager told the officers that they had no evidence or charges on which to hold the man, except that they make a short affidavit of the charge. This was done in an effort to assist the investigation, and Taylor was released in $1,000 ball for a hearing today. Taylor was among 145 other men at the West 135th street station house on the morning of March 20, when a raid was on a club at 107 West 132d street netted the police sixteen prisoners, for which ball bonds were alleged to have been signed by one George Taylor, 32. Taylor testified that one Moe Levy signed the sixteen bonds which have disappeared, placing Lieutenant Hickey in a very embarrassing position. The perjury charge was created after investigation proved that the man who signed the bonds did not own the property named therein. ANDERSON IN OFFICE FOR FOUR YEARS Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Third U. S. District, completed the fourth year of his present term in office April 2. John B. Guiney Exonerated When Teachers Testify That Lad Often Falsified and That He Was Incorrigible On complaint of Rebecca Niles, 9 West 137th street, John B. Guiney, 2625 Sedgewick avenue, principal of P. S. 89, Lenox avenue and West 135th street, was summoned to, and arraigned in, Heights Court before Magistrate Oberwager Saturday morning, charged with severely beating Theodore Joseph, 14, orphan brother of Mrs. Niles, on March 29, in the principal's office. Magistrate Simpson had granted Mrs. Niles' application for a summons. Mr. Guiney denied the charge emphatically and testified that Joseph, who is said to be very unruly, struck his head against the office door as he tried to free himself from Guiney's grasp, and that the boy's nose bled profusely, the blood dripping down on his shirt. Mrs. Niles exhibited the shirt in court as evidence. Magistrate Oberwager declared that the evidence submitted did not indicate that Mr. Guiney had committed the alleged assault, to which there was no material witness. "If I had been sitting in this court when you made application for a summons, madame," he said, addressing Mrs. Niles. "I would have positively denied application. Do you realize the effect this case may have upon the discipline of the community?" He dismissed the case, with apologies to Principal Guiney for having been obliged to undergo the embarassment of arraignment. Mrs. Niles testified that on another occasion her little brother had complained of a severe thrashing at the hands of the principal, but that she had discredited his story, until she saw Mr. Gulney kneeling on the stomach of a small boy and beating him. She says she then told Mr. Gulney never to punish her boy again and instructed Joseph never to submit to punishment from him. Misses Fitzpatrick and Sumner, white, and Misses Sease and Lee, Negro, teachers at P. S. 89, testified that Joseph was incorrigible, unmanageable and given to falsifying. Mrs. Niles told the magistrate that she conceded the principal authority to punish the boy and that it was not her desire either to defy or embarrass him, but that it was only the unpleasant incident above referred to, which she said she saw with her own eyes that gave credence to the boy's story and which caused her to bring the court action. Thomas Baskerville, 42, 52 West 129th street, doorman at the Savoy Ballroom; 598 Lenox avenue, was arraigned in Heights Court Monday morning before Magistrate Vitale, who found him not guilty of assault upon Charles F. Smith, 231 West 121st street, at the Savoy about 2 a.m. March 19. Attempts Suicide in Bronx Elevator Wife III, Man Tries to End Life by Hanging Henard Nicholas, 23, 318 West 135th street, tried to hang himself Saturday in an elevator shaft of a building occupied by the C. H. Jennings Automobile Company at 1750 Morris avenue, the Bronx, using the car as a scaffold trap door. Nicholas, the operator of the car, fastened a half-inch rope to beams supporting the elevator holding machinery, slipped the noose about his neck and started the car down. The elevator has no roof. His body was slipping through the open top of the descending car when Ernest Wollen, white, another employee, saw him. Wollen grabbed the cable, started the car back and eck Nicholas down. He took him to Fordham Hospital in a serious condition. The police say Nicholas told them he tried to end his life because he was unable to borrow $100 to defray the expenses of his wife, who is ill in a hospital in Nyack 'DARK HORSE COME OUT THOUSAND Campaign Manager Prepare First Period Dr TONIGHT at 12 o'clock chance to get the "Everybody Wins" tler will have his o issue of The Amsterdam New sible for any one of the "live lead, as the candidates have and there is not as much as arating the highest and lowest TIME TO Do not, however, feel the keep you in the lead, as it is votes than just a few too little closely bunched it is impossibly dict who will be the one having of this period.

The girl was the three-weeks' bride of Vernon Hewlett, her down-home chum and Morgan's rival. The fatal shooting occurred outside the door of Miss Queen Graham's apartment on the fourth floor of No. 301 West 130th street. One shot entered the girl's temple, killing her instantly, and two shots went wild. They had not quarrelled. Morgan dashed to the street and ran into Detectives Tierney, Ross and Brown, who heard the shots. Becoming frightened, Morgan retraced his steps to the second floor, where he sent a bullet into his own brain. Dr. Schwartz arrived with the ambulance from Harlem Hospital and removed the bodies. Vernon Hewlett and his wife who was then Miss Catherine Morris, came from Ashland, Va., for years ago, and the body of the will be taken there for burial. parents are not living.

S. 139 Charged With Assault on Ass't Principal Franklin Richards, Denying Charge, Says He Went to School With His Brother to See a Teacher Franklin Richards, 16, 209 West 140th street, a graduate of P. S. 139. Seventh avenue and West 140th street, was tried, found guilty and committed to prison in Heights Court without bail for three days by Magistrate Oberwager, before whom he was arraigned Friday morning on a charge of assaulting Louis Goldberger, white, 140 West 140th street, assistant principal of P. S. 139, in the school corridor on March 17. Richards was released Monday morning and placed on probation, pending an investigation. Richards firmly denied the charge, and testified that he had gone to the school with his brother, Harold L. to visit Mr. Singer, one of the teachers. He was stopped by Mr. Goldberger, who took him roughly by the arm to elect him from the premises. Richard said. Breaking away without striking Mr. Goldberger in any way, he und his brother ran down the stairway to the street, the boy testified. Harold Richards, a pupil of P. S. 139, was to have a hearing in Children's Court that same morning on a charge of incorrigibility. Major Grimly Now Lient-Col (Continued from Page 1.) connection may have played a large part in the recommendation of Adj. General Haskell to the Governor that Grimly be made According to Mr. Goldberger's testimony, he approached the boys in the fifth-floor corridor and asked their mission, whereupon they demanded to see Mr. Lynch, one of the teachers in whose class Harold was a pupil. He told them that they would not be permitted to see the teacher without a pass from the office. At this point, Mr. Goldberger said, Richard seized him by the neck and choked him. He and his brother then ran. Richard called back, saying, "I'll get you after school hours." Mr. Goldberger testified. Mr. Matthilda Jackson, a teacher at P. S. 128, corroborated Mr. Goldberger's claim on the witness stand, saying that she actually said that Phyllis assault the assistant principal. She ran downstairs and dumped the police, she said, and the entreaty greatly disbelied the judges. The Rev. A. G. Best of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 143 West 141st street, told the Court of Richards honesty and good character and of his work in the church and Sunday school. Richards, who is employed in a jewel store, examined his sense from work on the day of the alleged assault by saving that Thursday was his day off. After a short conference with Mr. Goldstein, Miss. Fockel and Attorney Oberwasser said: "The complaint in this case is inclined to show extreme lenency, but I am to confine this boy to prison until Monday morning, as an example to other borne, that they may know that they cannot disrespect those in authority."

(Continued from Page 1.1) connection may have played a large part in the recommendation of Adj. General Haskell to the Governor that Grimly be made leutenant-colonel. The newly appointed officer is said to be healthy. A few weeks ago he returned from a six-weeks' course at Camp Benning, where he was taught more of line work, probably in preparation for the appointment as second in command of the regiment. His early connection with the 1959 war was not in line service, he being in command of the Medical Corps, now headed by Major Leo Fitz Nearon. SOLORED OFFICERS' SPINIONS VARY. Opinion as to the wisdom of the appointment varies among the Negro officers of the regiment, most of whom, however, look upon the elevation as a backward step or Negro officers, unless Lieuten-Col. Grimly's views on the race have changed. Some point out that as second in command his influence will be less felt than as a line major where he had direct charge of a battalion. As lieutenant-colonel he will command only when the colonel is not serving in that capacity. The community will undoubtedly watch with interest the actions of the new lieutenant-colonel and the possible effect his appointment will have on the future of the famous regiment.

In addition to the widow, the survivors are three sisters. Mrs. Robert Braddicks, Mrs. Frank Bishop and Mrs. Leslie Boxill: a stepmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Howell, and a brother, Albert, all of whom reside in New York City. Mrs. Murtha Howell, the widow, was prostrated with grief and required the constant care of a trained nurse. Mrs. A. A. J. Savage, who also attended. Howell during his short illness, and Dr. R. A. Taylor of 209 West 136th street, the attending physician of the deceased. A West Indian lad of 22 drifted into New York City thirty-four years ago, just out of the British Navy, where he had served seven years. He had tired of conditions in his native land—the Barbados—and had made up his mind to try his luck in the United States. The lad was H. Adolph Howell. Possessing ambition and a vision, he finally went into the undertaking business, opening a small place at 21 West 133d street. Two years after he came to this country he married Niss Martha Paris. The business prospered and shortly after opening the first establishment he moved across the street to 22 West 123d street. Always highly ambitious, he became interested in the fraternal and civic life of Harlem, slowly pushing his way to the top of several organizations. Eight years ago he moved to 107 West 137th street and opened there what was considered the last word in funeral parlors. BUILDS HANDSOME FUNERAL CHURCH. But the old ambition was still there and the desire for bigger and better things led him to start the realization of his life's dream, a handsome funeral church on Seventh avenue, and on Nov. 1, 1926, the Funeral Church at 2332 Seventh avenue, perhaps the best appointed and finest place of its kind in the East, was opened. At the dedication Mr. Howell said that he hoped the Funeral Church would be a monument of comfort that would lift up the hearts of those who were bereaved and bowed-down with grief and sorrow, and he called it his gift of service to mankind by making wherein the Funeral Church is located, corner of 137th street and Seventh avenue, was owned by the deceased.

Mrs. Johnson said, but no unpleasantness had occurred. On the night of the tragedy Morgan can call on Miss Graham, where he met Mrs. Hewlett. He and his former sweetheart played the piano and sang. "Although You Behind to Somebody Else, Tonight You Behind to Me" was Morgan's selection, and the girl responded with "If You Can't Tell the World She's a Good Little Girl, Then Don't Say Nothing at All." Afterward the girl left to return to her apartment on the floor below. Morgan quickly followed her out and slammed the door behind him. No voices were heard, but suddenly three shots startled the tenants of the flat, and before they could ascertain the cause, a murder and a suicide had occurred.

REESE EUROPE'S SLAYER FREED Herbert Wright Had Served Nine Years of From 10 to 15 Year Term Herbert Wright Had Served Nine Years of From 10 to 15 Year Term Noted Bandmaster Was Slain in Mechanics Building in Boston During Course of Concert We Can Tell You What to Do BOSTON, March 5.—Herb Reese Europe, widely known in the Fifteenth New York Charlestown State Prison last nearly nine years' of a sentence Wright was a member of the far-famed "Hell Fighters" band, an orchestra organized and headed by Europe. The murder was committed at the height of a concert by the orchestra in 1919 in Mechanics Building, where fresh from a triumphant season in the overseas armies more than 6,000 people had jammed the auditorium to acclaim the glory of the great jazz band. Europe was reprimanding Wright because of his ill conduct when the trap drummer in a fit of resentment fatally stabbed the famous band master with a penknife. He died almost instantly. The incident took place behind the stage during the performance. Noble Sissle, first assistant to Europe, took charge and conducted the remainder of the program in such a manner that the great audience before him was unaware of the gruesome tragedy enacted behind the curtain. Not until the following day, after reading the morning papers, did those present and the public in general know that that night the great Jazz King had directed his band for the last time. In view of Wright's defence, put forward by his counsel, that the slayer was a victim of gas poison in the trenches, and therefore of unsound mentality, the full penalty for the crime was not meted. Wright was a protege of the man he killed. Good behavior on the part of the prisoner brought about his release, the prison officials said. While serving his sentence, Wright organized and directed the prison band, said to be the best prison band in the country. He has been heard many times over the radio. His home is in New York City.

Boston Preachers War on "Numbers" Clearing House Game Dubbed Lecherous at Meeting Meeting BOSTON, April 4.—Ministers of Boston have declared war on "number bankers and players." At the regular meeting of their alliance last Monday, after a discussion termed "red hot," in which several of the leading preachers took part, a committee was appointed to call on the District Attorneys to urge action in suppressing the "infamous and lecherous" practice of hundreds of number writers filching thousands of men and women out of their money. "The constant draining of hard working men and women of their meager earnings is causing an alarming condition of affairs," they said. The committee is to call on the District Attorney within the next few days. They will lay a mass of collected facts and names of brokers and writers before him. They will await action by the authorities. Members of the committee were instructed by the alliance of ministers to urge officials to appoint more plain clothes men to combat the evil Some of the bankers and writers, hearing of the ministers' proposed action, are threatening reprisal. They claim a following as large, if not larger, than the church folk. They also boldly assert that many of the church people are among their customers. They propose to use these church-going number players to whip the ministers in line and seal their lips against any outward protest against their bonanza. They even threaten to carry their retaliation against the ministers to the very sacred altar, the bankers aver. It has been revealed through authoritative investigation that Negroes of Boston and vicinity play in the aggregate of $750 to $1,000 daily on the clearing house lottery in the hope of making a "hit"—this, too, in face of the fact that the chance of winning is known to be a thousand to one against them. The fight is on!

Check Up Man's Colorful Tale Found to Be Telling the Truth, Young Detroiter Gets Another Chance Police of Detroit, Mich., were called upon by Magistrate Vitale, from Harlem Court, to check up on a colorful tale of travel told by Willis Sterris, a dapper youth, 23, 121 West 144th street, who was arraigned on a charge of attempted grand larceny. Sterris was charged with attempting to open the safe of Mount Sinai Hospital in which $500 was secreted and he was arrested by Detectives Salter and Drago of the East 104th street station On his first arraignment, Sterris was held in $1,500 bail for further hearing. Unable to furnish bail, he was led to a cell where he remained until last Thursday when he appeared before Magistrate Vitale. The judge questioned him closely concerning his activities during the past eight years. Sterris said that he had been in Florida, Alabama, Kentucky, Michigan and several other states. He said that he had worked as chauffeur, sterilizer of hospital instruments, porter and bootblack. His last job, he said, was as porter in an exclusive harbor shop in Detroit and, before that, as bellboy in a Detroit hotel. Police of the East 128th street station communicated with Detroit Telegrams from that city revealed that Sterris had told the whole truth. After a warning from the judge, he was given a suspended sentence, but not until his wife appeared as a witness at the last moment on Friday morning, when she corroborated his entire story. According to the story told to detectives by Marron Von Elm, a white nurse, at Mount Sinai Hospital, Sterris enterted the office and, thinking that no one was watching, began to tamper with the safe. He denied the charge. While he was waiting, detectives came and arrested him. He declared that he had gone to the hospital to secure a job.

Warning against the jazz age, which threatens black and white Americans alike, Dr. Mims declared: "We need your spirituals but not your jazz; your faith but not your superstition. Let your remembrance be found in the innocent joy rather than a cesspool of vulgarity. Let the school and the church retain your fealty rather than the cabaret. Let the rhythm of your souls be the music of the spheres and not the tom of the orgy. H. I. Mencken, critic and editor of the American Mercury, is the high priest of the cult of smartness in America, according to Dr. Mims, with the commander-in-chief of the campaign being waked against the homely virtues of American life. Dr. Mims finds Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, from whose volume, "The New Negro," he quoted frequently, a "well-balanced interpreter of social and intellectual tendencies—a man who rightly divides the word of truth between reactionaries and radicals." Using "The New Negro" as a point of departure, Dr. Mims declared that the problems facing the Negro are essentially problems of American life. Among prominent Negroes attending the exercises were: C.

So candidates have supported the candidates have had more their credit than they have s DULL HEADACHE, BACKACHE and Pains in Sides "For fifteen years I have been using Black-Draught, when needed, for billiousness and constipation," says Mr. J. O. Woodard of Grantabor, N. C., "and I have always found it to be reliable and effective. It certainly comes up to all the good things that are said for it, and I am glad to recommend it. "I have found that Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT worth $1,724 or $25 for your work. REMEMBER, the best hustler will win the best prize. However, we assure you either of them will be well worth while. See your friends—call them on the phone or get in touch with them and let them know you are in this race to win the first prize, and they will come to your help at this important time. So far the friends of the various candidates have supported them most loyally, and most of the candidates have had more votes cast at the office for their credit than they have sent in themselves. purges the system of the poisons which accumulate when the organs do not act properly, and I would not be without it. "I always give Black-Draught to the children for colds (when a laxative is needed). It is fine for that. "My trouble is chiefly constipation which is always accompanied by dull headache, backache, and pains in my sides. I think Black-Draught is the quickest and best relief for this."

Known and used for 30 years SIX OUR AIM SANTAL MIDY In as much as your friends have taken so much interest in your success—they would be woefully disappointed to know that you have slept on the job and let some one else step in and beat you out. See your friends and let them know that you appreciate what they have already done—assure them that you are yourself enthused, and that if anyone runs ahead of you it will not be due to lack of interest on your part. DON'T WAIT FOR GEORGE TO DO IT—GET IN AND SHOW GEORGE HOW IT IS DONE. REMEMBER "What you get for nothing is usually worth just what you paid for it" and the winners of these various prizes will not have received something for nothing, as it will take hustling to win any of them—and the best hustler will win the most. As we have before stated—it is not a beauty or popularity contest. All prizes will be won on sheer merit and ability to get subscriptions to The Amsterdam News. Old subscribers renewing or paying up back subscriptions will count just as many votes as new subscriptions, and while we are of course anxious to add as many new subscribers as possible, we are also anxious to have our old friends extend their subscriptions, and thus help the hustlers to get more votes. VOTES ALONE WILL WIN. Votes and votes will win the various prizes—no one can come in and buy any of the prizes, and every cent received by the Campaign Department must be represented by subscriptions—either old or new—and the candidate bustling in the most subscriptions will have the honor of being proclaimed winner of the FIRST GRAND PRIZE. ONLY FOUR MORE WEEKS. REMEMBER there are only four more weeks of the campaign after this Saturday night, and it will be over before you realize it. Votes are reduced twice during the next four weeks, so what you do now will be worth most to you in vote value. Surely this is the time to hustle, as the one being ahead at the close of this period can pile up so many votes that it will be a hard matter for any one to pass him. WATCH THE VOTE SCORE. Look the vote score over carefully, and see how easy it will be for you to pile up the winning votes, and also, do not overlook that you get 100,000 EXTRA FREE VOTES with every $25 in subscriptions turned in. This does not mean that you must turn in the entire $25 at one time, as it may cover any number of reports, and these votes will be added the last night of the campaign. Remember this and lay your plans accordingly. Campaign Notes We received a number of new nominations this week. There is still time to enter, and as will be seen, only a few subscriptions will make a leader out of the lowest candidate. A number of votes have been received for Miss Irene Baxter, which have placed her vote standing in good shape. Mrs. Beryl Gardiner received a fine lot of votes this week. Her friends are standing by and will see that she is up in the lead. Quiet a few candidates have been helped by friends during the past week. Look over the vote score. The decide whether you will get out and show these loyal friends that you appreciate what they have done for you, or will you disappoint them? It's up to you! You have until 12 o'clock tonight to get Big Votes--ARE YOU GETTING THEM? This is the critical time of your campaign and too much importance cannot be made. It is time to HURRY. Have you sent in your picture? If not--why not now? Mrs. R. C. Gothard received a fine boost during the week. Her vote score is growing fast, and she bids fair to being a strong contender in this race. Mrs. Octavia Hart has received a lot of votes at the office. Some one is helping her to keep in the lead. Albert Hawkins is "up and comin'"--see how he jumps for 5,000 to almost half a million in one week. Such hustling must have its reward and what could be more satisfying than a brand new Nash automobile? Mrs. Bassie Randolph Henri is piling up votes. That is the way to keep in the lead and a sure way to win. --- Candidates Nominated in "Everybody Wins" Campaign Candidates Nominated in "Everybody Wins" Campaign Adams, Miss Ada Archer, Mrs. Esther Artist, Rev.

We understand he is just getting well organized and will give a good account of his campaigning. Miss Lottie Kendrick has received a fine lot of votes. This candidate is getting away to a good start and no doubt will keep going. D. R. Keese is speeding up. He is one of the leaders and believes in fattening up his score while votes count most. The best of them will have to step some to keep him out of the lead. A fine lot of votes have been cast for Miss Lolita Lynn—which puts her score in good shape. Mrs. Lucy Norton is going fine. She must have an eye on the Big Nash and is making a first start towards getting the prize set out for. Miss Degrille Scott has received a lot of votes at the office. Her friends are not allowing her to fall behind. NOTICE OUR ISSUE OF APRIL 13, WILL CONTAIN A CUT OF THE CANDIDATE LEADING AT THE CLOSE OF THE BIG VOTE PERIOD TONIGHT.

The Gotham Whist Club was entertained at the residence of John Lee. S27 Lenox avenue. The club had a big time at whist and they enjoyed the refreshments. "Messrs. Keees and Penn beat Messrs. Huger and Lewis to a frazzle in payment for the accidental drubbing they recently received at the hands of these two girls." Miss Porter and Mr. Lee were slightly bested by Arthur Knight and Robert. Martin. Miss Porter and Mrs. Mary Jackson put one over on Messrs. Keees and Penn, which was the only game lost by them during the evening, and they passed the remark: "If the old adversary would forget his obligation to the women incurred by that little girl, the fact of her withdrawing his aid, these ladies will surely be taken down a peg and put where they belong." The Oriental Whist Club of Orange has not yet replied to the challenge sent by Gotham a few weeks ago. The Die Hard Club of Harlem has been as silent as the tomb since the defeat administered to them by D. R. Keese and A. H. Knight, and heard recently from the Keystone Club of Philadelphia, but there was a rumor that a member of Keystone was in New York last week. No one seems to know why he was here, unless he was sent by his club on duty to find out. If possible, the secret of the success of Gotham against Keystone. Owing to what appears to be the power of the secretary, the club rating for the past month is not published.

The members of this Board are: All of these men are known to people of new York City and surrounding territory and the re them will be beyond dispute. For Complete Details Write, Phone or Call The Amsterdam The Amsterdam News, in conducting this "Everybody Wins Campaign," guarantees absolutely fair and square treatment to all who participate. 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 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 squarer, 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 "period" 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 noitation is in RIGHT AWAY.

Think what it means to win one of these Grand Prizes just for collecting votes. 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 "sealed 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.

The speaker strongly urged the Negro youth to respect authority, exercise self-expression, maintain its social purity, and to pride itself upon its history. In the first of his lectures he stressed the correlation existing between the Christian religion and education, and issued a call to worthy young men to prepare for the ministry. Bishop Denby's visit was a part of the program of the Bishops' crusade of the Episcopalian Church. He was accompanied by Father Whitlock of the Priest Emmanuel Church, Memphis, and Father Bruce of Holy Trinity Church, Nashville. 5. 60 AMSTERDAM NEWS EXCLUSIVE FASHIONS 1020 1026 1003 AMSTERDAM NEWS PATTERN ORDER COUPON Fashion Editor.

RAINNITO Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN We women put our men on a pedestal and then grumble because they're there. It does seem as if the more we treat 'em like gods the more they act like devils. When we find them getting "high-hatted" the thing for us to do is to treat them likewise. When a man possesses he feels like a general who has conquered. He relaxes. The enthusiasm of conquest is gone. The woman? Naturally, she's not willing to be accepted as a matter of course. She keeps on cherishing and fondling. In the old, old game of love the one who loves but little is the one who bosses the other. If we, as women, would only quit reasoning with our hearts and use our good brains a bit! Here's a tormented wife's story: Dear Eggsy Ann: Have a I have been married for four years and tormented for four years. and tormented for four years, he husband made good money, that he has a good man- man—and he has a very pleasing per- sonality. Friend Egypt, sometimes I can't blame other women for fail- ing in my job, but women deliberately seek him. He is a good provider and I do my best to be a good wife. I am a home person and I need her necessity. a my husband solvient takes me. Girls often call him up and he just asks me to be a good sport and not get jealous—that he can give the person what he needs them hear his voice, why what harm? He goes out with other women, and when I say anything about it he just laughs. He simply cannot be made serious. He is 25 and I am 22, and attractive, I'm still in love with my husband. Do me, please. If there is any hope of him finding and realizing that he is hurting a TORMENTED WIFE! Dear Friend: As I see it, you've got for a husband one of those clever birds who understands his victim and realizes his power. There's nothing more provoking than to be made a target. Now suppose you play hubby on his own game. You're too complacent about the type of husband is of the type that prefers excitement. It's up to you to give him some. The next time your husband gets ready to go out, you get ready too. Take mutual pains in your dressing and assume an air of secret satisfaction. When he asks you what you think you're dressing up for ask him very sweetly if he blown. Then ask him to go to a movie or church concert. Do that several times and see if hubby doesn't begin to slide off his high perch. Get interested in something outside of the home. Spend an evening in the library or take more interest in church work. Keep your mind alert. Keep an eye on your appearance and give friend husband something to worry about. See how good a spur he turns out to be. Best wishes to you. EGYPSY ANN.

Well, Frisco Willie. There "ain't no such animal" as a "He-Man" in the dictionary, so there's no light on the subject from Webster. If I were you I'd ask the young woman in question what she means. You needn't make it obvious why you want to know. Just say that you'd be interested to hear her definition: To some young women: a "He-Man" is a big guy from the great wide open spaces. He's strong and muscular, and treats 'em rough. To others a "He-Man" is one with a real man's character and backbone, or, in other words, a gentleman. Perhaps some of the readers can enlighten us on the subject. From your description of yourself I should say that you've got a pretty bright outlook. Success to you from Beauty Secrets S. C. Hima.

One cannot change the shape of the eyes or their color, but this is of minor importance compared with the expression. Health gives an expression of joy in life that is beauty in itself. The elements of good health are acquired by exercise, proper diet, sleep and fresh air. Try these and you will find that your eyes will lose their tired look and the dark circles will disappear from under them. There are many simple exercises that will help strengthen the muscles of the eyes and afford-relief for puffiness and discoloration. Rolling the eyeballs is the simplest of these exercises. A very effective circulation exercise and eye massage is the following: (1) Lower and raise the upper lid without moving the lower. Keep eyes forward. (2) Look straight ahead at one object until eyes tingle. (3) Look up, down, ten times. Keep head rigid. (4) Look right, left, ten times. Keep head rigid. (5) Turn eyes left, up, right, down, five times. Close and rest. Repeat, beginning right. Keep head rigid. (6) Lie down for a few moments with eyes closed. Exercise may cause a slight dizziness at first. So, try with fewer repetitions. (7) Hold your finger in front of you on a line with your nose. Keep your eyes fixed on the finger, bringing it slowly towards you, then draw it away. (8) Close your eyes and look down. With middle finger slightly massage in rotary movements. (9) Stroke, starting above eye at inner corner, out and back under the eye, four times. (10) Tap gently around edge, not touching the eyeball. Rhythm is the secret of massage. Keep this exercise up for five minutes then place pads of cotton saturated in cold water over the eyes. At all druggists 30c and 90c G.G.G. Inco. Inc., Mfra. Woodbury, N.

As a special feature of the entertainment one of Harlem's best known dancers, a young lady of rare ability who has been offered attractive contracts by several colored musical comedy companies, rendered her very own interpretation of the Black Bottom and Charleston. The program was headed by Chris. Smith and Ted Bowman, song writers and entertainers extraordinary, formerly with the famous team of Dert Williams and George Walker, who boast among their numerous song hits that famous seller "Sitting on Top of the World." Following this pair, Louis Sims of Broadway fame gave an exhibition of his inimitable dancing. In a little skit entitled "Let's Go to Spain." Gwendolyn Sturges did a number of dances, including jazz, toe and Spanish dances, with Caroline McLoughlin as her partner, and a song or two. The Harlem virtuosos, Gertie and Ware, rendered selections on the violin and hello followed by two male voices, Walter Hunter, rendering harpone solos, and L. E. Coles, tenor of the Dexter Quarret, well known to stage and radio audiences. This is the first reception fostered by the American Art Association's employees and judged by the talent and interest shown will prove to be a great success if offered annually.

Hollywood Transplanted to This Part of Harlem Thrilling Night With the Stars Next Saturday at the Savoy The Savoy Ballroom announces a brand new feature for next Saturday night, April 9, called a "Night in Hollywood." Extensive arrangements have been made with a leading film company to fit out the Savoy with a complete moving picture studio, including magnificent scenery, the glaring studio lights, camera men and directors, and a bevy of beautiful movie queens. The stage will be all set to make a complete picture of the Savoy and all its beauties, most important of which will be its many patrons on that night, who will have their pictures taken to the last person, no one excepted. In addition to the thrills that will come to many as a result of seeing for the first time how pictures are made, a special strip of movograph film of all those attending will be taken and presented to them. Thus hundreds of Harlemites will, for the first time in their lives, see how they look on the screen. Quite an idea, this "Night In Hollywood," and one that should interest a great many persons, which we predict it will. In view of the admission charge, which is the same low price as usual, there is no reason why anyone can afford to miss this treat. Next Saturday night at the Savoy will be a mighty enjoyable one, so spruce up and prepare yourself for the silver screen.

Weber's production, "The Sensation Seekers," which is underlined for the Roosevelt Theatre for three days, commencing Saturday. An elaborate sequence takes place in this setting, with Billie Dove and Huntley Gordon, stars of the picture, as the central figures. An immense, three-story exterior was built, showing a beautiful country club in all its detail, including spacious and beautifully landscaped grounds. The various rooms on the interior of the club were constructed on the various spacious stages at the big Universal studio. One of the finest of the sets was an immense hall room, which covered the space of five ordinary sets. A hardwood floor was laid and the room was elaborately decorated with streamers and expensive furnishings. This production, one of Universal's biggest, has an excellent supporting cast, including Raymond Bloomer, Peggy Montgomery, Edith Yorke, Phillips Smailey, Clarence Thompson and Nora Cecil. Pians for Utopia Fashion Show Nearing Completion The Utopia Fashion Show, which will be given at the Manhattan Casino Friday, April 25, will bring to the New York public an array of beautiful gowns, this time with a little more unique display than ever. Mrs. Albert S. Reed, the president, and the members of the Utopia Neighborhood Club are encouraged by the outlook of the Fashion Show. This is the 13th annual affair of this kind given by the Utopia Club, and it deserves the genuino support of the public. The program to be fostered by Utopia is one of the most needed in the country. Harlem is unique in having a children's community house for Negro children. What an achievement to have a place where the little girl with the key strung around her neck may find food, shelter and recreation until mother returns from work. The following exhibitors, who have been faithful for many years to Utopia and its fashion show and who will display their wares again this year are: Miss Margaret Telfair, Mrs. Hattle Waller, Mrs. L Fields Stryhorn, Mrs. May Shelton, Mrs. Antoinette Black, Mrs. Julia Donawa, Mrs. Francis Dear, Mrs. Hattle Lynch Jones, Mrs. Mabel) Whitenman, Miss Rae Pope, Mrs. J. Stanley, Mrs. Mizell, Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Bessie Freeman, Miss Clarice Grimes, Mrs. Lilla Hawkins Bryant, Miss Peggy Govern and Miss Laura Petitt. Theatre Boys Ready The boys of the, KeithAlbeo Circuit of the theatres have completed all arrangements for their big dance and frolic at the Renalissance Casino this Thursday night. April 7. There's hardly anything that we can add to what we have already said of the popular organization and we feel that we have done a large share in contributing towards the success which is bound to be the result of their efforts in this affair. There is such a thing as talking too much, and this is one time where verbosity will not serve any purpose but to make the boys feel glad for a long ramble of meaningless words which, after all is said and done, measures down to the same thing we have already said. Season's Outstanding Success at Renaissance New Yorkers think they know their New York but how little they know is ably seen in "New York," that big screen production with Ricardo Cortez, Lois Wilson, Estelle Taylor, William Powell and Norman Trevor, which will be the feature picture at the Renaissance Theatre Thursday and Friday. April 7 and 8. It is one of the screen's sure pleasers. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, April 9, 10, 11, that epic of the screen, Goethe's "Faust," with Emil Jannings, will be the attraction. All the world knows the opera, now see the story on the screen. Many say it is better than the opera. Emil Jannings, as "Faust," excellently portrays his part and the entire picture is so well acted that it has been called one of the season's outstanding successes. Many comments have been made on the manner in which the large pipe organ in the Renaissance Theatre is handled by Mrs. Marie McFarlane. She is credited as being one of the best organists in the profession and her playing at this theatre has long been or of the features there. Tarzan and the Golden Lion" at Douglas The picture. "Tarzan and the Golden Lion," will be shown at the Douglas Theatre next Saturday, when it begins a three-day run. The theme deals with Tarzan's life on his plantation in central Africa, with his wife, Lady Greystoke, and their niece, Ruth Porter, who is in love with Burton Bradney, the overseer of Tarzan's domain. One of the first exciting moments in the picture is the arrival of an escaped slave from the Palace of Diamonds in a hidden city. To fortify his tale of the unbelievable treasures stored in the Palace, the slave has brought a bag of diamonds with him. However, as the plans for an expedition to the city are being made, an unseen figure is listening at the window, and Tarzan's difficulties in reaching the Specializing in the American Tap, Buck and Wing, Soft Shoe and Strut Palace are made almost insur- mountable through his efforts.

ANDRADE STAR ONURUGUAYANS Great Colored Soccer Player Stops Advance of the Americans Castro's Neat Goal QUICK ATTACK OF THE SOUTH AMERICANS TOOK ALL STARS BY STORM AFTER KICK-OFF The Uruguay soccer team scored a 4 to 2 victory over the American League Stars Saturday afternoon before 12,000 fans at the Polo Grounds. A large number of the crowd journeyed up to Coogan's Bluff expecting to see a repetition of the invaders' rough style that characterized their play in the Wanderer and Newark games. But they were sadly disappointed as the Olympic champions gave one of the cleanest exhibitions of football ever seen on any field. On a goal by Sam Kennedy of Fall River, the American Leaguers went out in front after 33 minutes of excellent football. S. Urdinaran came back five minutes later and knotted the count. The Latines went ahead a few minutes later on Castro's goal and remained in front to the end. Castro made it 3 to 1 soon after the final half started. Kennedy came back again for the Stars and sent in a rifle shot 25 yards out, only to have Scarone head one by Fischer for the fourth and last goal of the contest. Andrade Stands Out. As in his previous games Andrade's playing dominated the field. The great colored halfback, whose AL BROWN DEFEATS EUGENE CRIQUI gentlemanly conduct has pleased the fans, rose to his greatest heights Saturday. It was the first game where the invaders had a break on the weather and the footing which was almost perfect enabled them to show their fleeciness of foot to advantage. Andrade took the ball time and again from Neufeld and Abdullah, thus checking the American attack. His wonderful swerve often enabled him to break clear, giving the South Americans a chance to attack. Andrade is about the best halfback playing soccer today. Costaring with Andrade was S. Urdinaran. This gentleman had the crowd in an uproar with his tricky dribble, often going by the entire defense of the Leaguers to send in a beautiful center. On the defense Mazzull made numerous saves that were sensational. He is one of the few goalsies who takes a desperate chance, often coming far out when tested fiercely. The Americans won the kick but the Uruguayans attacked immediately. Searano and Castro giving Fischer a warm welcome, with some stinging shots. Petrone took up where his mates left off, and had a clear shot for the net, but Robertson blocked the attempt. Petrone sent two shots-over the bar by inches. Continuing their great playing the invaders tested Fischer often but the latter was always equal to the occasion. Nuelfeld and Kennedy led the home attack now and Kennedy on a near pass from Neufeld shot by for the first goal of the game. That score spurred the visitors and after a series of attempts at Fischer, S. Urdinaran, on a clever dribble, broke clear and evened matters 1 all with a shot which Fischer could not handle. Castro, not to be outdone, took a nice center five minutes later, and hit the net making the score 2 to 1, just before the half ended. Castro's Neat Goal. About six minutes after play was resumed Castro made it 2 to 1 when after a corner kick he headed in a nice goal. This was Castro's second goal of the game and his seventh on the present invasion. Lyell replaced Neufeld for the Americans, and made his presence felt by testing Mazzull with a hard shot. Mazzull kicked out and Kennedy trapped the ball and taking a short dribble, sent a screening shot by Mazzull for his second goal of the contest. It was a wonderful piece of work as nobody in the NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1927 Al Brown Stops Comeback of Eugene Criqui PARIS, April 2.—Al Brown, the long-armed Panama flyweight, defeated Eugene Criqui of France. former world featherweight champion, in a ten-round fight tonight. Brown won the decision on points. Criqui was unable to get inside Brown's abnormal reach and the Panaman penetrated his defense repeatedly. Criqui failed to show the stamina, speed and gameness he possessed before he retired from the ring. He met Brown in an effort to come back. Majestics Cop Another The Majestic Club traveled down to Ellendorf Chapel on Friday evening and defeated the latter by the score of 39-26. At half time the Majestics were on the short end of an 18-16 score, but at the start of the second half they soon overcame the lead and won rather easily. This Monday they travel down to Long Branch, where they will meet the fast Atlas A. C.

Al Brown and His Brother, Jimmy, Arouse Interest of the Spaniards And the Newspapers Are Making a Great Deal of Fuss Over the Two Colored Boys—Barcelona, Spain, Now Holding the Spotlight in Europe Barcelona, Spain. At the celebration which was held on the 11th of November in commemoration of Armistice Day on November last, there appeared in their debut those two brothers, Jimmie and Al Brown, the two Negroes about whom there has been such wide expectancy in pugilistic centers on the continent. Their debut was crowned with a round of success. Up to the present these Negroes have lived up to all the expectation that had been held out about them. The best have been Villa Rodena, Ferrando. Now I transcribe a note which was left on my desk yesterday: "Jimmie Brown the boxer has telephoned saying that he is here and that he may be found between eight and nine o'clock in the Hotel Hispania, Pelayo, 9." "In the restaurant I find the interpreter and Jimmie Brown. It is great to be an interpreter. It is not as simple as it looks. I think he ought to pass me five dollars; broad of shoulders, arms that are enormous, nostril that approaches the most classical of boxers, and lips which are most classically descended from his forehead. a frank and open smile, sympathetic, and sometimes dilated sufficiently to show teeth whose size are at once large, yet beautifully white. press me as having entered in any high degree the real combative spirit nor scientific ideas, but on the other hand, in so far as general ends are concerned, they appear to be more resourceful and more crafty in ring generaly. Until they have reached the style which is practiced by the Americans, they shall have a long way to go. I have observed especially that the European boxer manifest clearly his importance as soon as "He was born in Panama, and is twenty-three years old, and has traveled to many countries, including Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico, and New York. "New York is my center of operation, I had never been in Europe," says Brown. "I arrived with my brother, and we made our debut in Paris together, I against Lepeasant, securing a knockout. Next I fought Molina, who was then champion of France, and was beaten on points. Later, I was opposed again to Lepeasant, and lost on points, but in my last match in Belgium we drew. "These are the four fights which I have had since my arrival in Europe. My object for coming to Barcelona is clear. The popularity which boxing has acquired recently in Spain incited in me a desire to visit this country. Those who know realize that the capital of Spain is now one of the most important boxing centers in Europe. Until this moment you were able to say that this capital was a retreat for all of the famous boxers in Spain, especially your Champion Ricardo Alis, with whom I have a genuine interest of confraternity. "My brother has created genuine sensation in 'all of the rings in which he has fought, and the pending contracts do not allow him to think that he shall soon realize his desire to be able to come to Spain, notwithstanding it is possible in the near future to realize this possibility. The style of boxing which is practiced in Europe impresses me as being excellent, but theurgists of Europe do not im- Barcelona, Spain.

Now I transcribe a task yesterday: "Jimmie Brown ing that he is here and that right and nine o'clock in the press me as having entered in any high degree the real combative spirit nor scientific ideas, but on the other hand, in so far as general ends are concerned, they appear to be more resourceful and more crafty in ring generality. Until they have reached the style which is practiced by the Americans, they shall have a long way to go. I have observed especially that the European boxer manifest clearly his importance as soon as either of his hands are hurt, for instance: In America, when a boxer receives a wound or a hurt or any thing like unto that, his whole interest is set to keeping his condition a secret from his adversary, and from the public. As individuals, there are many grand characters in European boxers' circles; those which impress me as being of the highest class, speaking critics, are: Carpenter, Stickle, in my class, Molina and Jack Walker are those whom I have seen recently. Barcelona has a splendid climate and is a beautiful city. "All this and the treatment which I have received contrasts enormously with my impression of the conservative Belgiums. Until now, you have not told me with whom I am speaking. I do not know what my plans are for the near future. I have under consideration several offers, but nothing has yet materialized upon which I can make any denitite declaration. Yes, you see. I eat a lot today but that is because I am not in training; when I am in training, I reduce my meals to one single sitting daily. Now, I think that I shall begin my gymnasium training next Monday; at that time I shall have lost my freedom and my good time." Jim Brown is spending the night with me.

Austrian trainer and second, one of the most sought after handlers of boxers in the world, who was usually behind Panama Joe Stain in most of his appearances, and P. Elynn Ingle in his heyday was the greatest ring general of them all. Dia said the other day that on at least six occasions, to his knowledge, Panama was his first boxer to come back and beat his man by using his noodle. "The night Joe boxed Willie Walker at the old Commonwealth and knocked him out in the ninth round. He was practically out on his feet after the fourth round." WILLIE WALKER was outpainted in the main twelve-round bout at the Walker A. C. Saturday night by Maxey Rosebloom. Harlem won the round and a guarded unimpular decision over Pierre De Calaue, Belgian boxer, in the ten-round semi-final. THEYRE still giving Wilbur Cohen the run-around. Willie wanted to win the Walker Club this Saturday night in the final bout, but Dominick Petrine thought he was too good and refused to take the former St. Christopher boy. BLACK BILL. Cuban flyweight champion, will be seen in action at the New Broadway Arena, Brooklyn, next Monday night. "BAD NEWS" Henry Shaw, who has been on the shelf shee boxed in Brooklyn a few weeks will be seen in the Walker C. two weeks from this Saturday night. LARRY TEMPLE, the old-time butler, was seen at the Ridgewood Grove, Brooklyn, last Saturday night in the role of a second, gay boy from a private lookout, if he could lick a bunch of the present-day light-heavies, even in "old age." Larry was behind Fred Braunling, a light-heavy, who was keyed in the opening session of a four-spot. JACK MeVEY has finally induced an opponent to get into the same ring with him, as he was scheduled to on August 15, 2015, at the TEXAS MIDLTON SQUARE GARDEN last night. Pfiffen is some sort of a Canadian champion, and from all accounts will give the Harlem wetter stiff opposition.

Wk confess, Gene, that it is next to impossible to advise you in this matter. However, you may be on the right track, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to pay a vish to the DUKES.

C., April 4.—Cecil Cook, fleet runner of Syracuse University, who last year was victor in the National A. A. A. U. Championships, winning the quarter-mile crown, will compete in the National Open Championships at the Howard University Spring Classic Saturday, May 14. In this race Cook will make an effort to establish a world's record for the quarter-mile run. He has been turning in some fifty quarters in indoor meets this year. He is just about at his best and ought to equal the outdoor mark. If he doesn't succeed in breaking the record. It will be remembered that Cook, a few Saturday nights ago, at the 102nd Engineers' Armory, in the intercollegiate A. A. A. A. Title meet, New York City, turned in one of the best quarters of the season. He was running anchor man on the Syracuse 1 mile relay quartet when his team defeated Georgetown, Holy Cross, Cornell and Yale in the fast time of three minutes, 24 2/5 seconds. This is 2/5 of a second faster than the record of the famous Georgetown team in 1925. All of the fans who have seen Cook run admire his fighting spirit.

Sunday night when he met the Renaissance Five with his crack Orioles was evident, but Johnny reckoned without thinking of the ability of the Douglas men to meet the issue and bring up reinforcements to fill gaps made vacant by the fine work of the Baltimoreans. The Orioles set a fast pace and after eight minutes of the first half had clapped they had a splendid lead of eight points, which gave them the confidence that was soon lost when "Fat" Jenkins was given the signal to bring up the big guns. It was from then on that Johnny Beckman recognized the improvement made in the colored team he has known so well, and this period ended 20-14 favor of our local players. Then came the second half with things all sewed up for the big "R" men, although, the Orioles tried heroically to overtake them. When the smoke of battle cleared the score read 47-23 favor of the Renaissance. In the preliminary game the Collegians defeated Paterson by the score of 51-18. Kind-of-a-walker, what? Next Sunday right that famous team from the land of Rip Van Winkle will come to Harlem to again attempt to put a stop to the Douglas men in their own ballwick. These Catskill players are the real up-state ziz and again we can promise followers of the game as played here many thrills when they uncover the stuff that has won them the hearty support of their own home town. The preliminary will bring together the Collegians and the Combination Five. The latter bunch claim they are going to call the balls on their opponents and if they do it will be some accomplishment, as few can boast of taking the measure of the Collegians without hectic opposition.

A series of timber topping events are being arranged by the Athletic Committee for the first indoor track meet in this section of the city. The Chaplain W. H. Brooks Memorial 500 yards run promises to be one of the most interesting contests on the program; for some of the stars scheduled to measure strides in this event are Phil Edwards, "Pinkie" Sober, Jack Selas and Vincent Lowery. Gold diamond set medals will be awarded individual winners: sterling silver sapphire set medals to seconds; and bronze ruby set medals to thirds. Silver Cups will be awarded the winning relay teams, and gold, silver, and bronze medals to the members of the winning teams. The program includes a number of middle distance events, a two-mile run, a regimental relay (closed), a junior high relay, a private and public high relay, a college and club relay, and an interraternity relay (closed). The games are sanctioned by the Metropolitan Association of the A. A. U. and the P. S. A. L. of New York City. Local interest in the meet indicated that the community appreciates the splendid service rendered by the 369th Regiment, commanded by Colonel William A. Taylor, in the endeavor to bring out and develop latent athletic talent. The entry fee is 50 cents for each event and $1.00 for the relays.

LOSE TO MARRIED MEN --- Early Lead Too Much for Division Players Last Saturday The Young Married Men's basketball team defeated the Young Men's Division Five of the Y. M. C. A. Saturday night, 29.20, on the "Y" court. That marital ties add, rather than detract from basketball playing, will not be denied by Y. M. D. players after receiving their setback Saturday. The visiting players helped themselves to an early lead, and retained that advantage through out the fracas. The first half ended with the Y. M. D. on the short end of a 25-11 score. The final frame saw the "Y" players striving hard to overcome the long lead of their opponents, but all in vain. Still, a better account was given in the final minutes. The married men were held to four points, while Y. M. D. was collecting nine. "Johnny" Holt got six fielders in the first half for individual scoring honors. "Bubber" Reese with eight points scored high for Y. M. D. Next Saturday the Y. M. D. will play host to the Union A. C. CLUB TO OPEN John C.

FLOWERS TRIMS JOEY CELMARS FLOWERS TRIMS JOEY CELMARS New Rochelle Lad Takes Every Round at Ridgewood Club Joey - Celmars. Hoboken junior lightweight boxer who has been raising havoc in his division, ran into a snag at the Ridgewood Grove Sporting Club. Brooklyn, Saturday night, when he was outpointed by Bruce Flowers in the main six-sport. The scrap was little more than a good workout for the upstate battler, who took every session, apparently under wraps. The Jersey entry offered very little opposition. Bruce stepped out in the first at the tap of the gong, and peppered the little Polish lad with more gloves then he has seen probably in many a day. The bombardment was continued in the second frame, a left-hook opening a cut over Celmars' left optic, which bled freely throughout the contest. Joey was a glutton for punishment and game to the core. He took all Bruce had to offer and at the final bell was still boring in for more. The customers, disgusted at the feeble attempt of Celmars, started deserting the place after the fourth round, but they missed the best part of the battle as Flowers "stepped on it" just to show Brooklynites how far he outclassed Joey and to give them an idea of how classy a performer he is himself. The tilt drew one of the largest houses that has attended a boxing bout at the Ridgewood Grove this year, 3,791 fans paying $5,045 to see the contest. More than 4,000 persons were in the arena when the star bout went on. ```markdown ``` 434 LENOX AVE.

M. C. A. Building, in Philadelphia: Chairman Ed. Bolden, Jim Keenan, Colonel Strothers, Hammond Daniels, Alexandro Pompet and Nat. Strong. Representatives from Mt. Holly and Wildwood, N. J., and Richmond and Norfolk, Va., were present to confirm agreements that will enable the Eastern League teams to use the respective parks for league games. The Cuban Stars of Havana, who have been a traveling club around this section for a number of years, even before the inception of the league, will attempt a new role this season, Alexandro Pompez, the genial owner of the Islanders, has engineered a deal that will put the Stars in David's Stadium, Newark, N.J., the spacious park of the international League Club. This will mark the second attempt that the league has made to place a club in Newark, N.J. The past year Wilbur Crelin's Newark team started the race, but went on the rocks before the season reached the half way mark. However, the league officials cite the fact, that Crelin's proposition was a new project and the team did not compare favorably with the other clubs in the circuit, with the usual result that the home fans wouldn't support the new outfit. But Senor Pompez is explaining to the populace at large that he has a grit-edge attraction to offer the home folks. One that has been established for more than a decade and has always kept up in the running of the league race. The Cubans will not confine their home games to Sundays, but will play other days at the stadium. Claiming that New York leads the world, Jim Keenan, the Lincoln Giants' boys, has beat the field from the post. The Lincoln have already engaged in actual combat when a number of the other league clubs have not recruited their players.

April 4.—Hampton Institute is making elaborate plans and preparations for the eleventh National Championship of the American Tennis Association, which will be held at Hampton. Aug. 15-20, 1927. This will be the first session of the association to be held in the South and for that reason every effort will be made by the Institute and the Virginia Tennis Association to make the eleventh National Championship a great success. Word has been received from the national president, Dr. Harry S. McCard, that from the present indications the association will have the largest entry lists for both singles and doubles in its history. One of the first requirements for a good tournament is good courts. Hampton is spending about $1,200 resurfacing its eight courts, which will be in good condition Pa, providing they would be granted a franchise by the Commissioners. The men seeking a berth were Charlie Williams, former manager of the Quaker City Giants, and Joe Milestone, who operates the Harrowzate team. The Commissioners failed to see the feasibility of linking Amber with the league circuit, but advised the applicants they would not be restricted from playing league clubs. adford and hot and mea Keh Record No. 84 AT I HAD Record at the Nearest Dealer the Cents Can't Buy More En Melody Music Co., 131 W. 135th St. Morris Music Shop, 659 Lenox Ave. River Falls Music District Co., 434 Lenox Ave. Van M.

It is doubtful if there is any place better equipped to make the tournament a success and at the same time furnish the members of the association more pleasure and wholesome recreation. This locality is rich in historic associations. Places of interest within a few minutes' ride of the institute are the National Soldiers' Home, Old Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe, Langley Field, Hampton, Newport News, Yorktown, Williamsburg and Jamestown. Bay Shore, a resort situated on Chesapeake Bay and known throughout the country as a resort for pleasure and rest, will be one of the centers of recreation, where bathing and dancing may be enjoyed. A musical program in Ogden Hall, a watermelon feast and lawn party, a boat sail over Hampton Roads, made famous by the battle of the Monitor and the Merrimac, will be part of the elaborate program now being prepared for entertainment of the hundreds of guests expected to attend the eleventh National Tournament. Braves Clouting Ball Hard' The New York Braves swamped a mixed ball team at Jasper Oval on Sunday by the overwhelming score of 15-2. The pitching was excellently taken care of by Small and Jeter. Small tied the opposing hitters into all kinds of knots with his curve ball and Jeter kept up the good work when he came in. Peterson and "Bucky" Harris came through with a home run a piece, while Davis Wilson smacked two. Stevenson, Sasso and Daniels socked the ball hard also.

THIS city, north of Casablanca, is more characteristically Moroccan, being very old — one may say twenty or twenty-five centuries, at least a thousand years before the English-speaking peoples came on the scene. It is, or was, a walled town, with richly carved gateways; pictureque stone towers, eaten with time; the ruins of what was once a great mosque (pronounced mokay) or church; beautiful gardens; white houses; strangely eld native, moving mysteriously about — colorful, romantic, the "Arabian Nights" entertainment come to life. One sees, for instance, many of the great stone jars, like that in which Morgiana poured the boiling oil on the "Forty Thieves." It is here that the present Sultan makes his home. I had the good fortune to see him on his way to midday service. Enough to say that in the South he would have to do much explaining to Maryland Makes First Attempt to Repeal Odious Legislation UNDER sponsorship of the Interracial Committee, a bill was introduced in the Maryland Legislature to abolish the State Jim-Crow law. This bill, according to the secretary of the Interracial Committee, T. J. Calloway, had the backing of some of the most influential public men of the State. Senator Bruce stated some time ago that the time had come for the elimination of such distinction in transportation in the State of Maryland. It seems that the bill was tabled in the committee, although the majority canvassed beforeland was supposed to be in favor of it. Mr. Calloway is still hopeful of the resurrection of the bill and gives the assurance of Governor Richie and other powerful Democratic supporters as basis of his hope. This is perhaps the first attempted bit of legislation in recent years to wipe out odious race discrimination in state laws. It gives hope that all such discriminatory regulations which were born of local conditions will pass away when such conditions are ameliorated. Of the iniquilious distinctions in Northern State, were wiped out by the moral crusade of the Civil War. At least fifteen Northern States had provisions limiting the franchise to white men when the Fifteenth Amendment was passed. Some of these States voluntarily removed such racial distinctions by the revision of their own Constitutions, while in other States, like Ohio and Oregon, such racial legislation was wiped out by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. The State of Michigan, at one time, had a law forbidding races, but this discriminatory provision was wiped out by subsequent State law. This first attempt to eradicate the Jim-Crow car law makes me reminiscent. One harks back to the days of the Afro-American Council, when race-wide effort was launched to check the rising tendency, especially in its interstate movement. The local defence fund was raised for this purpose, of which Booker T. Washington contributed or procured by far the greater part. When Congress was about to eradicate the Interstate Commerce Act, Woffitt McKinley and myself called upon Senator Polly Iverson, Chairman of the MORE IMPRESSIONS OF MOROCCO keep out of the jim-crow car. keep out of the jambar car. This much is settled for me in the past, and these people, who were at one time the leading power in Europe. They are what we call in America, mulatto. Many are undoubtedly white, just as others are of the deepest shade of black one can imagine. This mixing has been going on for thousands and thousands of years. Occasionally one glimpses an Arab lad, who reminds him irresistibly of King Tut, not as one sees him colored in America, but as one sees his pictures in the windows of French shops here. present Salian is only flushed with the present President of Haiti. The real ruler is the French Governor, Marcheal Lyautte, and this is his headquarters. To the east of this city is Foz, the intellectual capital of Morocco, the center of Mourish art, literature and music. Foz will have of special interest to Negroes in that it was the birthplace of Leo Africanus, a Negro, whose book, "History and Description of Africa," was the standard authority on that continent for more than three hundred years. Leo, whose African name I have forgotten, was captured by a party of European slavers and was being taken to Spain to be sold there when the ship was captured by the Genoese. Leo's learning so delighted Pope Leo X that he became his Christian name, gave him his own name, and became his patron. The single copy of this book I have seen was owned by Arthur Schomburg and perhaps may be ment of our proposition that there should be no discrimination of any kind in interstate passenger traffic. But on a subsequent call we were informed that the pending measure would be limited wholly to material freight. About this time Archilad Grimke and myself called upon Senator Foraker to engage his good offices in behalf of guaranteeing no racial discrimination in interstate travel. The good Senator informed us that he would gladly work for a provision for equal accommodation, but that such a position as we suggested this, some of my invited to set me In those days Henry Harrison School of Hon big of body, bra impeded of spirit tellerned and The State of Mr. Emu enlisted his sepa was operating it state and intra Professor Hart from Washington.

We thereupon advised him that we would prefer that no action at all should be taken unless there was full guarantee of no distinction or discrimination and told him that we could secure equal, but separate, accommodations from the Southern States, and that we preferred that the Federal Government should not touch the question one way or the other unless it was prepared to act upon the broad foundation of no discrimination between American citizens. He thought that our attitude was very short-sighted and unwise. The first suit brought to test the Jim-Crow car law was, I believe, instituted by Prof. William H. Council of the Alabama Normal Institute. The case was lost. The Supreme Court has decided that the States may provide separate, but equal, accommodations for the races, without violating the Federal Constitution. This decision seemed to settle the status of Jim-Crow cars, so far interstate travel is concerned. The Supreme Court has also also accorded to the effect that similar arrangements for interstate travel may not be unconstitutional. If I am mistaken about THE NEW YORK TIMES - J. A. Rogers - seen in his famous collection in New York City. "Of these Negroid peoples, who were once a power on three continents, we shall have more to say about them," Glbartar and southern Nguin.

Polynesian provals and harens this, some of my legal critics are invited to set me right. In those days, came William Henry Harrison Hart of the Law School of Howard University, big of body, brave of heart and intrepid of spirit, of powerful intellect and learned in the law. The State of Maryland had just emitted its separate car law and was operating it in both its interstate and intrastate application. Professor Hart secured an interstate ticket from New York to Washington. On reaching the Maryland border he was asked to change to the Jim Crow. This he stoutly refused to do. He was ejected and lodged in the Elkton jail. The support might suit him in the interstate court and win. The Court of Appeals, the highest tribunal in that jurisdiction, held that the law did not apply to interstate passengers, but merely to local traffic. Every Negro in the nation owes Professor Hurt a debt of gratitude which remains unpaid. But for his brave and many act every colored passenger, from whatever section of the country he might hail, would be compelled to ride in a Jim-Crow car in order to reach the national capital. From the beginning, the border warfare between freedom and slavery waged along the Maryland line. The Mason and Dixon line, of far-flung national significance, marked the boundary between Maryland and Pennsylvania. The Congolese Army, in Northern movement, was turned back at the edge of the Maryland border. The revised constitutions swept through the Southern States like wildfire, but were checked by the Maryland Court of Appeals. And now comes the Jim-Crow car law, whose rescindment is at least under consideration. Let us consider some of reasons which render such action on the part of Maryland feasible and reasonable at this time. Segregation, separate schools, Jim-Crow cars and anti-miscelection aws grow out of the common roots of race prejudice. It is stimulated mainly by the relative number of Negroes. The effect will continue as long as the cause remains. The main traffic in Maryland is interstate. The two great railroad systems in the Paysylor, Baltimore & which dominate the traffic of the State, are through lines in all directions. The Negro local travel is almost negligible. One may travel on the Jim-Crow cars in southern or western Maryland for hours without encountering more than one or two fellow passengers. In the main, the Negroes are going to Washington on the south or to Wilmington and Philadelphia on the north or to Harrisburg and the other cities. Of those are interstate passengers. The city Jim-Crow cars are but a luxury and an expense. Furthermore, the Negro's contingent in Maryland, outside of the THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 6, 1927 Bu J. A. ROGERS abound. The Koran, or native Bible, permits only four wives, but I am told that each keeps with many wives as he can feed, which is the chief expenditure. Furniture in an Arab home is almost absent. The color of these wives is from white to black, or, vice versa. There is no color-line, even in the French quarter, where natives of all colors may be seen in the best cafes, quite unlike the treatment accorded the natives in British Africa. I am referring now to what I have read in British Government reports. In addition to the wives there are concubines, as in the Southern States, and if a slave woman, white or black, has a child for the master it shares equally with the legitimate ones and has the same political and social privileges, just as in Bible days. Jacob's children, by the slaves of his two wives, helped to form the Twelve Tribes. The last Sultan, it will be recalled, had some of Jacob's sons and grandsons proved so many white elephants on his hand when he was ousted. Women Marry at 12 Women marry at twelve, which is also the age of consent in one or two Southern States, of which Virginia is one. I am pretty sure. They ripen early and by twenty-five most of their remarkable beauty of face and figure is gone. Still in the case of a good woman the women this makes little difference to the onlooker, as most of the ladies, stout or thin, all look like so many walks Passage of Proposed Law Would Mean Concrete Advantage to Negro City of Baltimore is rapidly declining. The Negroes are leaving the agricultural sections of the State for the metropolitan city or for regions further north. The Jim-Crow car has little future project in the state. This proposed action on the part of Maryland still further indicates that the Negro must look to local rather than to national action for tangible relief from the difficulties under which he laborers. The elimination of the interstate feature of the Maryland Jim-Crow car law represents the only concrete advantage which I recall, has come to the race from ignition against Jim-Crow cars. The defeat of the proposed restriction by the Maryland courts is the only action, as I now recurrently actually enhanced the power of the ballot in the black man's hands. The recent decision in the Texas case is magnificent, but the distance between Washington and Texas is magnificent, also. Unless some liberal movement springs up in Texas the victory, in which we now exult, will be but a paper decision. It is also interesting to note that Mr. Calloway throws the burden of advantage of this action or the brunt of disadvantage upon the Democratic party, which now has the reins of power. If the Democrats put his hand, the will give the Republicans of further supply of soft soap upon which to fool the challenging Negro voter. I recall how the Democrats gave the Negro teacherships in the public schools of Baltimore, after long and arduous efforts. In this connection it might also be well to say that West Virginia is the only Southern State which has no Jim-Crow car system. Why? Hereby hangs a political tale. It was told me by J. W. Clifford, the well-known journalist and politician of the Mountain State. The issue was close between the two parties. The more Bourbonlike Democrats threatened Jim-Crow legislation, if they won over the solid opposition of the Negro voters. An understanding was reached with such outstanding leaders as John W. Davis and Congressman Wilson that, if the, Negroes would join in with them, no such legislation would be forthcoming. Democrats and kept their word. If by any mischance, the Democrats had fastened on the State Jim-Crow cars, no number of subsequent Republican victories would have eliminated them. Let us hope and pray that Maryland will do the sensible thing in being the first in abolishing JonCrow cars, and that the sensible thing in doing of Maryland will do the sensible thing in bringing it to pass. ing barrels from the neck downwards. Swathed in white garments, which seemed to be puffed out somewhere in the middle, one sees only their koht-stained eyes and part blackened, part crimsoned heels, sans stockings. The competition between woman and woman in the matter of shape and style of dress is reduced to its minimum. Women's styles haven't changed since the days of Mary Magdalene and folk who protect against the shortening of skirts ought to be at home here, but on the other hand they are likely to see some sights among the women of the very poor that would send them scurrying back. The orthodox Arab is quite as distrustful of his women folk as those Southern legislators who pass laws prohibiting their women folk being attended by Negro barbers—a fact which serves but to increase the intrigue which, I have been told, goes on in the harems. This jealousy is a sort of sex worship, which centers in the lust of the male himself; for, as in the South, woman is regarded, at best, as a grown-up child—a fact true of all primitive and backward peoples. When I expressed my surprise at polygamy to an Arab, telling him that he was about all that the americans could do to get along with one wife, he said that that was where Westerners were all wrong; for, when a man had one wife she quarrelled with him, when he had several they quarrelled among themselves. The poorer mothers carry their Lax Law Enforcement in Harlem Attracted Caba-rets to Harlem IN TILE same way that it is nearly impossible to find any community equal in size and in population to Harlem having within it as many churches, so it is in the case of night resorts. No community in the United States, not excepting Hollywood, Calif., whose people produce as little as the people of Harlem, engages in a similar night life. Social writers for more than a generation have asserted that unless a minority group regulates its own pleasures, the majority group will sacrifice the morals and virtues of the minority group to the sport and pleasure of the majority group. And, further, social surveyors have reported time after time that the greatest and most destructive weapon is the moral capitalist, who, coming to the community of the poor, will engage their ordinary talents in such ways as shall tend to degrade them socially. In Harlem thousands of people earn a living from the activities of the community after dark. But the future of a community is influenced by the rectitude or by the moral debasement of the antecedent generation. A survey undertaken during the week of March 2 indicated that there were eighteen night clubs in Harlem, with a total personnel of 540 persons. They received their upkeep in the following three classifications, according to the policy of catering: There were five who catered exclusively to white patrons colored patrons, but their servants are instructed to so handle the colored patron as to entirely discourage his visits); three catered to colored patrons exclusively, and ten entered to mixed patrons. In addition to the 540 persons already mentioned above as being on the payrolls of these night clubs, there were about seventy-two cigarette attendants and checkroom keepers. On an estimate secured from the various owners and managers of these clubs we were amazed to discover that all of the eighteen clubs had been constructed since 1920; that they had all undergone an annual interval of 18 months; that their total cost of construction was $58,000; that more than $33,000 had been spent on these -:- Harlem After Dark SPECIAL ARTICLES Bu EDGAR M. GREY children tied to their backs, Indian fashion. I saw one woman with three—one at her back, another seated around the back of her neck, while she nursed a third as she walked along. Brer Possum certainly had nothing on her. Domestic Slavery Slavery, domestic slavery, still exists, although the sale of slaves is no longer permitted in the markets by the French. I understand it is quite different from American Negro slavery, or even peonage in the South. Some years ago I recall reading American Counsel here named Holt, who said it was his duty once to free four slaves—two white, two black—the property of a deceased American citizen who had turned Mohammed. Slavery here, as I understand it, is a sort of refuge for some of the very poor, just as Englishmen, Frenchmen, and Hollanders are to sell themselves into servitude in the American colonies. Religion The great dictator of all life, all movements, among the natives is the Koran. To this fact must be attributed largely the extreme hackwardness and squail, generally speaking, of the native. For Morocco is rich in minerals, grain, cattle, sheep and hides, and the French are developing those and prospering. Here is a book, part written, part compiled, by Mahomet more than fifteen hundred years ago, and it is the arbiter of all action. Just as if the world had stood still in the meantime. clubs for changes in the interior decorations and repairs. The total yield during the year was estimated at $1,752,200. The annual average income of the individuals employed was $1,428. Each club and its management have been involved in some form of litigation with the police during the years that have elapsed since they were established. In 1926 there were seventeen cases of misdemeanor in the criminal courts which grew directly out of the activities of these clubs and one murder. The supplies of the various clubs were purchased outside of Edgar M. Grey the community, with the exception of one club, which purchased its soft drinks from a colored bottling works company. By actual personal investigation of the colored girls who were employed in these clubs, the information was gleaned that there were more than sixty-three girls under the age of 15 years employed in them. Of the thirty-one persons who are managers and owners of the clubs, only eight were colored and residents of the community. Of the eighteen clubs, all had had police officers stationed within their doors at one time or another and twenty-three of the owners were Jews and one an Italian. Of the eighteen clubs only one was housed in property which is controlled by a colored real estate operator. Night Life in Harlem clubs begins at ten o'clock and continues until about 4 a.m., nowwithin which the police passed recently by the city government. Many of them serve excellent meals at fairly popular prices. One club has the atmosphere of a restaurant and cannot be properly called a club. This is the famous "Banjoo Sin." operated by five Chinamen. Upon entering this place one is at once struck by the fact that the waiters and attendants, with the exception of the doormen and musicians, are Chinese. The usual form of pleasure indulged in is dancing. Each club has some sort of "revue," consisting of dancing, singing, dances orchestras, and keeps up a general racket all during the hours of operation. With the exception of about three of the eighteen clubs, the limits of vulgarity are reached The average Moor is very superstitious, very dirty, very hospitable, very religious. He is a firm believer in evil spirits and often will not plough the soil deep lest he disturb the dinoons (evil spirits) said to reside there. Modern doctors would starve among them. Again, the Koran is regarded as the best remedy against all ills. The native doctor repeats a verse from this Bible, copies it and pastes it on the afflicted part. If there is a cure, well, it is Kismet, the God's will; if there is none, it is also Kismet. A sort of Christian Science. Quite simple. For a pain in the chest one is also likely to get a severe wallop in that region; for a jackache the doctor will over your: for a rhinoceros he heps on the tooth, and for other illnesses the scraping of the horn of a rhinoceros, etc. Verily, one sees to the fall the truth of Marx's saying: "Religion is the opium of the people." It happens to be the Moslem religion this time, but let not Christians forget that Europe was in a similar plight when all things centered around the Bible and before Science came into its own, all at a time when these Moslems were giving Europe one of its finest cultures. Let the anti-evolutionists and their ilk which abound in the darkest America—the South—and America, with all its splendid comforts and conveniences, would eventually drift to this level. For the psychologic effect on any people whose life centers around any holy book is the same. Long-winded prayers, wishes, and the entertainers, women appear almost in the nude. Several of the "reviews" staged in them have finally found their way to Broadway, after due modification. Three of the clubs maintain stock companies which present musical and dancing combinations throughout the year. Between February 2 and March 2 the writer interviewed 172 colored chauffeurs, who said that without these night clubs in full operation their income would be decidedly reduced. The New York Ballet Company said the three eighteen clubs paid to its local offices $4,040 each month for lighting. A closer view of the clubs will disclose the fact that they serve in a great measure for the disposal of the so-called "hot stuff" dresses, clothing, jewelry, etc. Besides the operations of the clubs proper, there are several "fats" in the upper Forties which are connected with them. On the 5th of February, white seated on one of the soft plushed chairs in one club we noticed that a lady arrived, checked her wraps and strolled across the floor to the manager's office. There a hasty whispered conversation occurred between Miss Newly Arrived and Mr. Evening Clothes, after which Mr. Evening Clothes went over to a white person seated at one of the tables and after a second of conversation escorted him to the door. Miss Newly Arrived hastened close behind the table. Mr. Evening and was introduced to the stairway leading up to the street. The writer followed them to the street and was just in time to see the white person enter a taxi behind Miss Newly Arrived. The driver turned north toward the Forties. The writer tarried on the sidewalk before the entrance to the club. He had not tarried long when the driver of the taxi referred to returned. Being acquainted with him, the writer sided up to the car and asked him where he had taken his recent fare. "Why," he said, "are you saleep. Can't you guess?" I admitted that I was a bit dumb and my friend explained that he had driven the white man and colored woman to a house on West 142d street, which was the regular place where parties made up at this particular club went to finish their evening's enjoyment. Through these clubs and cabarets thousands of white people are drawn to the community weekly for the purpose of seeking amusement and diversion. Many aristocratic whites who would resent being near a respectable colored person in a sleeping car or in a restaurant will sit for hours at tables touching elbows with colored persons and join them as dancing partners. Growing out of this night life are several enterprises which could not live but for it. Some of these are restaurants, night barber shops and tea rooms. When the prohibition law went "Koran Dictates the Lives of All in Morocco" hallucinations usually take the place of work, the one and only way by which humanity gets anywhere. I can well recall a little colored preacher I once heard denouncing Science to his stock by electric light and in a church built by modern science. Education Education of the children is largely confined to reciting passages of the Koran, and one can hear them drowning the words like so many bees in their tiny schools. Many of the rich Moors send their children to be educated in Europe. The only race prejudice is against the Jews who, both native and French will tell you, are dirtier than the Arab. If not dirtier than the Arab, the Jews are certainly no cleaner and just as full of sores. Nevertheless, the Jews are great business people and some are quite prosperous. They are attributed much of the feeling against them. The majority are as dark or darker than muslattes and live in a quarter called the mellah. There is ever so much more could be said, as about the camels, the Riffs, the churches, but I will finish as I began by saying that being here is an unfortunate experience in practical sociology. My next article will be about Gibraltar and southern Spain. As Operated at Present Night Clubs are Detriment to Community into effect the night clubs in the downtown section of the city were forced to guspend operation. White underworld gangsters came to the conclusion that Harlem would be an ideal place to operate because here the supervision was, to say the least, lax. So in 1920 they invaded the Black City with the jazz and hooch. The white men and women who are the constant patrons of this form of Negro art have no responsibility for the morals of the community. Hence they stage in vices which they would not attempt in their own communities. The argument, because of the fact a new colored men and women are afforded employment by this sort of endeavor the community should tolerate it without dissent is like saying that since dogs are useful pets or guardians we should permit them to make their fifth any place in the house or back yard. We need not be prudges to come to the conclusion that the presence of these clubs in the community is a menace to the moral stability of the residents. We need not be reformists to admit the fact that they are not properly supervised by the police and other law enforcement officers. We have evidence in our possession that a prominent minister was given the privilege of having his youngest son employed at Connell's inn while the boy was in college in reform ministers' silence in his church in the menace of this club to the community. We have a letter under our eyes which was written by a Negro minister in 1825 to the management of one of these clubs, insisting that the contribution which this management had made to the church was not commensurate with the services the pastor had rendered the club What these services were were not mentioned in the letter. We assume that they were of such a nature that the dear pastor was not interested in mentioning them. The result though is the same. We have been told by persons who claim to know that a certain newspaper man who is supposed to be against "hootch joints" will until recently on the payroll of the management of night clubs. One of these night clubs, located on Lenox avenue, is a decided physical detriment to the community, apart from its general moral basis, even if they would. Puritan should object to the presence of well regulated night clubs in Harlem for the amusement and diversion of its population, but even a vulgar moron must see, if he has halt an eye, that the present night clubs are a decided moral liability to the community.

New York City, Monday evening. April 25. The gathering in a way represented more than the launching of a campaign for a brother, but an effort as well—one of the occasions where good deeds were necessary for a leisure period to talk over the good news, or those that might have been." After an annual exchange of greetings among the clan gathered they were seated. The host outlined the plans for the battle of battles. Mr. Williams talk was brief but to the point. In part he said: "This is not the first time, gentlemen, that a campaign has been launched in behalf of J. Dalmus Steele, one of the greatest men in Elkdom today, for the grand exalted rulership. I feel sure that with the whole-hearted cooperation of the men around the festive time, the ning will be reached this year. Not that we have any particular incumbent, J. Finley Wilson, but he has been there too long and we want him to get out and give another good man a chance." Mr. Steele responded briefly, saying: "I appreciate this great surprise. It has always been one of my fondest hopes to reach the highest rung of the ladder in Elkodem, and I humbly accept your launching of a campaign in my behalf. I feel keenly your attitude toward me, and what more could be said than 'full steam ahead.' I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Andrew T. Mitchell, present exalted ruler of Manhattan, Lodge, No. 45, was the next speaker introduced by Mr. Williams, who was unanimously selected as prominent chairman of the gathering. Mr. Mitchell frankly admitted he was not much of an operator or speaker, but managed to let those know he was a Steele man from dawn to finish. The officers of the new organization dedicated to put Mr. Steele into office next August as grand exalted ruler are as follows: F. G.

S. Commissioner through the efforts of her attorney, Franklin W. Morton. The officers alleged that they found a still and a half-gallon of corn liquor. Detective Wagner wrote the arrest. Ordinarily, prohibition cases are presented to the Federal Commissioner for a hearing, but Attorney Morton so presented the case to the Assistant U. S. Attorney that it was decided not to go through the formality of a hearing. He was a native of Brooklyn, was formerly an assistant counselor in the U. S. Shipping Board, and resigned some time ago to resume the practice of law. He is the son of Dr. V. Morton Jones, one of the first colored women to practice medicine in the State of New York, and who, for years, has been active in Y. W. C. A. church and work.

The Black Diamond was held within bail by Registrarian Joseph Goldstein in the New York nure Court. He was charged with grand larceny by Detective Joseph O'Connor of the Brownsville Station, who arrested him. SEVENTEEN Despite his many years, he is as active as many men twenty-five years his junior. Since his retirement from the Park Department, after nearly twenty-five years service, he has been in the employ of William E. Lowman, white, the well-known florist of 509 Flatbush avenue. When inquiry was made why he took a job after retiring from the city service, with a pension and a goodly portion of this world's goods, he stated that work kept him in condition and that he not want to grow stale. Mr. Crump is a native of Virginia and came to Brooklyn after the Civil War. In 1868 he married Miss Anna Maria, Benson. They lived together at 1290 Washington avenue for forty-five years, until the death of Mrs. Crump in 1920. Of their nine children only one is alive. There are four grandchildren. He was among the first colored men to reside in the Flatbush section and, prior to going into the Park Department, made a living by taking care of the lawns and gardens of the wealthy white family of that section. He continued this work after entering the park service and, by thrift, was able to lay aside, as he described it, "a few pennies for a rainy day." In 1923 Mr. Crump purchased his present home. He of his best friends is Port Appiser Fred D. H. Kracke; the Republican leader. He said of Mr. Kracke, "he is one of my old pals, for I have known ever since he was a kid. I lived my door to him on Hawthorne street in many years." Mr. Crump is the only ordained member of the 18th Assembly District Republican Club and has been an active member for many years. In talking over the old days, Mr. Crump, in a vivid manner, told of the meeting of the Monitor and Merrillic during the Civil War. He witnessed the fight from a row in near the shore. He described it in near the words: "There was that Merrillic sitting pretty in the bay, and then, and that funny-looking Yankee boys creep up to her. Bang! goes the Monitor. The Merrillic edges around—and bang! she goes. Then they both shifts around and set go like blazes at each other. Bang! Bang! Just like that—what a noise. And we colored men in the all the dress and cheered for the Northern dull, by and by, after much bring." that unseeing Monitor she wins. Gosh, we were glad!" A captain of the First New York Volunteers needed a boy and Crump, quick to volunteer his services, got the job. He came North of the captain and landed in the Flatbush section. For years he worked for Fletcher in Hudson in the Windsor Terrace neighborhood, who brought him up and sent him to school. In discussing thrift, Mr. Crump told how, from the first week that he started to work, he made it a rule to save a certain amount for a rainy day. "Why, I believe that the second person, to put money in the bank at the corner of Flatbush and Glenwood," he stated, Mr. Crump is a co-founder of the oldest members of Mountain Lodge No. 1670 of the Grand United Order of Odellffes. Tattooed Arm Saved Man From Possible Prison Term George Smith, 31, of 475 Hudson avenue, by the haring of a tattooed arm, proved to Federal Judge Robert A.

He stated that his name was not Jordan, under which he had been booked, and when asked if he had any legal proof, bared his left arm and exhibited the tattooed letters, "George A. Smith." Judge昌 accepted the tattooing proof. Masnuch as the man had already pleaded guilty to possession of liquor, he was fined $200 on that charge. The charges of selling and maintaining were dismissed. Smith, who lives at 25 Street street, told the court that this town was no place for him and that he was leaving right away for Philadelphia. EIGHTEEN Queens County Republican Hands in Resignation The resignation of Warren B. Ashmead, State Committeeman in his district and Republican leader of the central Queens section, after 32 years of active service, which was made public Friday, is regretted among G. O. P. voters of our group in Queens County, and especially in Jamaica's Fourth Assembly District, a Republican stronghold. Mr. Ashmead explained to an Amsterdam News reporter that the stress of business as an officer of the Mechanics Bank was the cause. Mr. Ashmead, of an old Jamaica family, knew the South Side and members of our group as no other man in this great suburban center. He became a member of the Republican County Committee in 1895 when the South Side of Queens was sparsely settled and Jamaica was settled as center of the borough's political activities, as it remains today.

Herbert Spencer Very Well Known Indeed to the Jersey City Police If Pens and Ink Hold Out Authorities May Be Able to Record His Various Activities A Jersey City man bids fair to make the name Herbert Spencer as infamous in local police annals as the late English philosopher made it famous in histories of science. The aspirant is Herbert Spencer of 417 Pacific avenue. About two months ago the unfortunate gentleman returned to town after a year's absence which started a few hours after the brutal murder of an aged stable-keeper, Edward Gray, who was said to have been clubbed to death by a man to whom he accorded the questionable privilege of sleeping on the stable floor. Spencer answered a description of the man wanted for the crime, and the additional flight caused police investigators to connect him with the murder. Headquarters reporters and desk lieutenants breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out a free man, thinking that no longer would the name of Herbert Spencer be maligned by allegation of crime. Late the same night an ambulance call came from near the Grove street tube station. Soon after City Hospital reported that the same Herbert had slipped on the ice and sprained his right foot. The injury was treated and he was taken home. Once more his name ornamented Upon his return he was promptly locked up at the Grove Street Police Station as a disorderly person on suspicion of murder. This fact was entered on the ledger. One night during his inca coration he had a bad nightmare and fell out of his cell cot, spraining his left ankle. An ambulance was summoned from the City Hospital and a surgeon treated the injured member. Another entry on the ledger. Another entry on the ledger. A two weeks' investigation failed to elicit any conclusive evidence of his participation in the murder. So the disorderly person charge was dropped. Captain Charles Wilson had, however, gathered information which led him to prefer a charge of larceny against him. This entry was made on the ledger. Spencer was taken to court on a Saturday morning and discharged for lack of evidence on the larceny charge. JERSEY CITY NEWS BRIEFS Salem Baptist Church, Union street, found itself unable to acquire property which would permit building the structure it desired to erect, so the work of buying adjacent to the parsonage in Oak street, has been undertaken.

Headquarters reporters and desk lieutenants breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out a free man, thinking that no longer would the name of Herbert Spencer be maligned by allegation of crime. Late the same night an ambulance call came from near the Grove street tube station. Soon after City Hospital reported that the same Herbert had slipped on the ice and sprained his right foot. The injury was treated and he was taken home. Once more his name ornamented the Jedger amid sights and spirited rans on the oaken desks. Lato Thursday night an ambulance call came from Grove and Mercer streets, where three men are said to have staged a stabbing affray. "Why, it's my old friend, Herbert," the surgeon exclaimed as he treated a shoulder stab for a bleeding man. It was the same old Spencer who had become involved in the street corner argument with Freel Gillespie. 23, and his wife, of Freeport, L. I. To prove his contents, the police say, Gillespie slashed Spencer in the shoulder. The assailant was booked at the Grand Street Station on a charge of atrocious assault and battery. Spencer and Mrs. Gillespie were held as witnesses. "What next?" the desk lieutenant asked as he once more had his name entered on the ledger. "Have a rubber stamp of his name made," was the wise crack of a courtroom wit. NEWS BRIEFs pastor of Mounmental Baptist Church, the Rev. Wm. S. Smith, D.

Alice should have her day. A Miscarriage of Justice AT THE TIME Alice Kennedy, whose real name it recently developed is Alice Szapira, was arrested and charged with manslaughter in connection with the killing of two children in West 134th street, the facts in the case seemed quite clear. The young white actress, it appeared then from statements she made at the time, and according to eyewitnesses, was riding westward through 134th street in an automobile, in company with a man who was driving the car. The driver stopped the car in front of a gasoline filling station on the corner of 134th street and Madison avenue, got out and was engaged in conversation with the man in charge. Miss Kennedy, who had no license to drive an automobile and, who, in addition, did not know how to drive an automobile, seated herself behind the wheel, stepped on the gas and, like a flash, the car darted recklessly through the street and in a few moments had brought death to two small children and inflicted injuries on two others. IT IS POSSIBLE that Miss Kennedy would have been molested by the irate crowd which collected, following the accident, had it not been for a levelheaded Negro member of the police force who fought off the crowd, picked the unnerved woman up in his arms and carried her to safety. The officer said that Miss Kennedy was under the influence of liquor at the time the accident occurred. THE TRIAL, delayed for various reasons since the time of the accident, was terminated last Tuesday and Miss Kennedy was set free by a jury, which had hard the case in Judge Francis X. Mancuso's part of General Sessions. EVIDENCE was "produced" which tended to prove that Miss Kennedy did not start the automobile on its deathdealing rampage, and that she was not under the influence of liquor at the time. Whatever became of most of the original evidence in the case, and why that part of it which was submitted was not credited, is probably not for us to say. Nevertheless, there appears to have been a gross miscarriage of justice, somehow, and we are leit to believe that the automobile started itself, after the woman's own statement that she did not know why she started it. It FEW PEOPLE would have desired that Miss Kennedy, if she had been convicted, be given a long prison sentence for what was apparently a foolish act of the moment, with or without the aid of liquor. Many would have been satisfied if she had been convicted and given a suspended sentence; but few persons have been found in Harlem who feel that the ends of justice have been served by an absolute acquittal, even though the two little victims were colored. beginning of the total statistics in cubic feet of manufactured gas were, used in New York State's industrial plants in 1926.

OUR CHINA WAR AMERICAN AND BRITISH WARSHIPS KILL 2,000 WE CALLED the Germans bad names when they threw a few long-distance shells into the streets of Paris, even though they were at war with Paris. But the other day British warships and their imitating American cousins bombarded the peaceful, non-combatant and innocent people of the Chinese city of Nanking. And on what pretext? Because, as they say, a single American missionary had been murdered. If we should grant that a white man was murdered in coldest blood by a maurading Chinese mob, that could furnish no excuse whatsoever for the brutal murder of 2,000 Chinese by American and English warships. We have mols in the United States, and when they turn loose and murder somebody, our government does not shoot up their wives and children to pay for it.

To me April is out of the past, perhaps, frocious, cruel, kind, domineer bastard progeny by mortals themselves. BLACK APRIL, by Julia Peterkin. Bobs-Serrill Company. $250. BLACK APRIL is a novel about Negroes; about Negroes of South Carolina; Negroes of a solitary plantation of South Carolina; a plantation which has been abandoned by its white owners and left under the supreme supervision of a Negro foreman—Black April. This Black April -- as I read through Mrs. Peterkin's novel -- unfolded himself to me as something much more than an obscure Negro foreman on an isolated Southern plantation. To me April is a legendary figure striding out of the past, perhaps from Olympus, impetuous, capricious, cruel, kind, domineering, capable, gay; begetting bastard progeny by mortals and leaving them to shift for themselves. The author has really set forth in this book the story, not of Negroes alone, but of the struggle of all humanity—in the morning of its existence—with superstition and ignorance, death, love and hate and with itself. As I read the book I could not escape the feeling that April and Big Sue, Maum Hannah and old Freeze, Sherry and Leah and Uncle Bill were not just Negroes, but essentially human beings just like human beings of other races when at the same cultural level. Of course, we are amused at these simple black folk, with their charms and magic, their "birthin' beads" and "hands" their conjures and crosses, sticks, and pins, their cries and cries, and their reluctance to kill the "boll evils" because "Gawd" had put them in the cotton. But have we, that is, the majority of us, done more than simply refine many of the superstitions of these people? The fact that Mrs. Peterkin lies made these Negroes real human beings is perhaps the outstanding distinction of her novel. They are not monstrosities in the manner of Roy 'Ochen. She does not seem to be conscious herself that she is writing about Negroes. The term "durky" never appears; she seems never to have heard that Negroes are "boons"; the word "migger" is used only once and by a Negro character. Of course, no Negro will find justice for a white writer amazed that a white writer had written such a book that I read rapidly through on first reading, fearing that the dignified, almost reverent, tone would change. I wanted to get to the end and get the suspense over. Whereas Mrs. Peterkin writes with an ingeniousness that is intriguing, one is aware of a unique and skillful method of construction. For instance, whites have been excluded almost entirely. There is no white principal in the story and no whites on the plantation. The only white man directly in the front yard of the house is a friend indeed when "Miss Big Sue" wants her letter read. Even the white doctor in town, who cut off April's legs—after he had been conjured by the "death sheet"—is a good friend and counsellor. This exclusion of whites has permitted the author to soar swiftly and surely to her goal. North until April kept in the North until April and the conflict which heifies are not permitted to intrude and smear the canvas. This ing of their non-combatants, as if they were dogs, was an act of savage revenge. We were simply showing our might—and damn the right! We had the big guns. We could get away with it. We did not care a fix with hypocritical it makes us appear when contrasted with our outcry against "German atrocities" (which never existed) a few years ago. We knew when we were exalting against the Germans that we were not better than the worst of our enemies—but we were simply bawling because the Germans had thought of poison gas before we thought of it. If we had only thought of it first, we would have put it down to our superior science and brains. Every honest man must confess that one of the marvels of the present situation is HOW FEW foreign s have been killed or injured in this civil war in China. We wonder how on earth the fighting Chinese can keep from killing a lot of "dumb" missionaries who insist on staying in the way—doubly relying on the superiority of their military backing, rather than on the Lord. If these missionaries were really Christian brothers to the Chinese, they would see out for the time being, instead of stammering and fumbling in an excuse to their barbarous guantob commanders for slaughtering Chinese people REVIEW Lobbs-Merrill Company. $2.50. I'll about Negroes; about Negroes of a solitary planta, a plantation which has owners and left under the negro foreman—Black April. I lead through Mrs. Peterkin's name as something much more man on an isolated Southern a legendary figure striding in Olympus, impetuous, capriing, capable, gay; begetting and leaving them to shift for method of elimination and concentration has enabled Mrs. Peterkin to focus a pen-training, warm glow on a miniature universe—all black. She shows them pulled now toward civilization and freedom of the spirit and again dragged back into the abyss of ignorance and fear. They are cave people, hearing the school bell alarf off yet trembling and afraid to answer, for the first time. "Gawd" Himself. That is for white folk, who leave their children money, white black people lequeteh their magic (wisdom). For money can be taken away from one, but wisdom cannot. In this great novel Mrs. Peterkin lights the way for others who feel the urge to treat Negro themes in fiction. Particularly is she a good guide for Negro writers. To some of us, who are weary of propaganda and the noise of endless conflict—both for and analyst—Black April is as refreshing and restful as the childish questionings of little Breeze himself. She is an artist who has lived among these Negroes. She has looked into their very souls without scorn or contempt. She neither codies nor censures them. She is not interested in the stillness of the Negroes, but in the extravagant claims of some Negroes. All the rucous and piercing noises that rise now and again in South Carolina do not reach her ears. They are for the publicist, the propagandist and the politician. They are no concern of the artist. All in all, I feel that Black April is the finest, the most beautiful piece of fiction, the detestable portraiture concerning Negroes that has appeared. If Black April is not the "Great American Novel," then Mrs. Petarkin is the one to write it. She could not do better than follow the method and the theme of Black April. ROBESON SKETCHED IN NEW BIOGRAPHY A life sketch of Paul Robeson, famous character artist, appears in "Fire Under the Andes." by Elizabeth Shepley Sergueen, white, a new book of eminent Americans recently published in New York. Sketches of Amy Lowell, Eugene O'Neill, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Williams, Allen White, H. L. Mencken and Willa Cather appear in the same book. LETTERS when a single white man gets hit. Although the English and American naval commanders jumped quickly to the pretext that one American had been killed and a British soldier or two hurt, we suspect that the real inspiration was to protect Standard Oil's "Socony Hill" at Nanking and the vested interests of the British. And we suspect that these fellows will get away with it: we will go on believing that our navy is on a sacred mission of the necessary protection of life. If they wanted to protect life, they would be taking the whites out of China to Manila or elsewhere, to stay until the Chinese war is over. That would be simpler and easier than standing by in the internal war out of the Chinese by slaughtering their babies on the slightest excuse of injury to any European. As it is, instead of our protecting life there, we Westerners are about the biggest menace to life that Nanking or the rest of China have ever seen. Even the Europeans in the city were in more actual danger from the bombardment than they had ever been in from the Chinese. Very soon our militarists and capitalists and newspapers will have us all frothing a mouth, moutting Chinese images and patting about "Chinese atrocities" as if the world ever knew any greater atrocity than this wholesale and indiscriminate murder by British and American war vessels.

Elliott Rawlins, M.D. Intestinal Putrefaction CERTAIN germs in the colon, a cause many diseases. Neuras. Bright's disease, colitis, constipate, skin diseases, such as exema origin in intestinal putrefaction or putrefaction is due to the action of intestines. Our Eyes DR. K. J. FOSTER OPTOMETRIST CERTAIN germs in the colon, a part of the intestine, cause many diseases. Neurasthenia, sick headache, Bright's disease, colitis, constipation, high blood pressure, skin diseases, such as eczema and acne, have their origin in intestinal putrefaction of protein foods. The putrefaction is due to the action of certain germs in the intestines. NATURE apparently intended the life work of man to be completed at the age of forty or thereabouts; or possibly, she never intended that man should become civilized at all, in which case he would hardly use his eyes for near vision. However, we are not longer living in trees, nor are we existing cave-man fashion. As civilization progressed and man learned to read and write and use his eyes for near work generally, the loss of accommodation or ability to focus his eyes for near or far work, as the case might be, became a serious matter and must have resulted in virtually putting many a brilliant man upon the shelf when his mental powers were at their best. The invention of spectacles was of inestimable value and enabled many a man to stay in the game many more years than was possible therefore. When the eye is required to do close work, such as reading, the delicate ciliary muscles which surround the crystalline lens of the eye are called into action. These muscles govern the thickness of the lens. In order to get a clear focus of a near object, the lens must become thicker and a greater strain is placed upon the ciliary muscles. Like all other physical processes the power of increasing the thickness or focusing the eye has its limitations, for as age advances, for as age increases steadily the lens becomes an increasing hardness of the lens. The harder the lens becomes in virtue of this process the more its elasticity is impaired, and it becomes less and less able to increase its thickness. Even at thirty years of age, in strong and healthy eyes and healthy persons, half of its power is gone, and at forty-five it is so weakened that small objects near at hand cannot be clearly perceived. At sixty years this power is practically abolished. Presbyopia is the name given to this gradual failing of the sight due to advancing age. It is not a disease but a physiological process which every eye undergoes. Persons whose book or paper are written their book, and avoid fine pain because they cannot focus it on the retina—the image receiving screen of the eye. Reading at night gives them special trouble, due to enfeebled illumination which causes the pupils to dilate, thus increasing the blur in the eye. They then try the expedient of squinning their cycles in order to get sharper focus, but alas, in the subsequent progress of presbyopia, reading or fine work becomes absolutely impossible without glasses. Presbyopia may be corrected by placing a convex lens in front of the eyes to compensate for the loss in power of the ciliary muscles. If the condition commonly known as farsightedness or near-sightedness is present, presbyopia is hastened or delayed respectively. Protect the only pair of eyes that you will ever have.

"Presbyopia" ```markdown ``` colon, a part of the intestine, Neurasthenia, sick headache, constipation, high blood prescema and acne, have theirion of protein foods. Tintion of certain germs in the The most common germs causing putrefaction are the colon bacillus, and the gas bacillus known as Welch's bacillus. These germs find their way from the outside world into the intestines through street and house dust. Certain foods carry these germs. Commercial milk sold open packaged ham-burger steak, fish oysters, stalk eggs, certain kinds of cheese as Limburger cheese abound in putrefaction germs. Germs are living plants. For them to grow and multiply there must be the proper environment. If the intestines are alkaline in reaction, then putrefaction germs will thrive. If the intestines are acid in reaction then putrefaction germs cease to grow; they die. It is important then to have and keep the colon of the intestines in an acid condition. The colon or large intestine is a receptacle for undigested food remnants, and the same changes take place in it as occur in the same sort of foodstuff outside the body. In which putrefy in the pantry or the storeroom will also putrefy in the colon. The environment of warmth and moisture in the colon favor these distinctive changes. When putrefaction occurs in the intestine, virulent pol soins are formed, which paralyz the bowel, causing constipation. With this constipation, certain purificants are introduced into the circulating blood and in this way cause great injury to the important organs of the body. Nature provides a method to keep the intestines in an acid condition and thereby prevents putrefaction. This method is the growth of certain fermentative bacteria, which produce acid-loving germs. They thrive in the presence of acids. There are many acid forming germs which thrive outside of the body, but only a very few which are capable of living in the intestines, where little or no oxygen is found. These germs are jacetic acid germs. Health depends very much upon their presence and growth in the colon or large intestine. If they are present in the proper proportion and strength no putrefaction will occur. If they are absent or present in only small amount then putrefaction with its trail of diseases occurs. It is evident therefore that the remedy for intestinal toxins and putrefaction is to be found in foods which encourage the growth of acid loving germs, and which do not leave residues of excessive animal protein on which putrefaction germs could grow. Sweet milk, sour milk, milk, whey, Koumys, fresh cheese such as cottage cheese, carbohydrates such as potatoes, rice, macaroni and sugar, bananas, apples, oranges, dates, cereals, yolk of eggs, gluten, sauerkraut, lactose and dextrin are foods which help to develop acid forming bacteria. If they are in goodly proportion preference to putrefaction in due course will be kept in the acid condition, and putrefaction diseases will be avoided. RANDOLPH TO SPEAK AT TWO COLLEGE A.
