"BAD NEWS, MA'M! A big man, later identified positively as John Hull of Prince Hall Lodge and the State Department, was found at 2:20 A.M. on North Capitol street near the Union Station, stiff as a poker, Ma'm, and smelling of gin. Synthetic gin it was, Ma'm. Officer Sullivan found him there in the gutter and called an ambulance. Attendant thought the man dead, all right, but, to make sure, rushed him to Freedmen's Hospital just the same. Dead as a stone, Ma'm — dead as a stone. It's bad stuff, Ma'm. Synthetic gin. But, what's a fellow going to do these days? I'm a member of Prince Hall myself." CLOSE OF SECOND CAMPAIGN PERIOD WEEK FROM TODAY Fifty or More Active Candidates Vie With Each Other for Leadership — First Period Voting Heavy DO YOU realize the last chance to share in the second period votes will end in one week from tonight? Time is flying and your campaign will be over in a few days. The time which you have all been working for is almost here — the eventful moment when one of you will be declared winner of the Big Nash, and others in proportion to their efforts. Consider this carefully and make your plans accordingly. All of you have done wonderfully well during the first period just closed, and we congratulate you. In fact, we have analyzed the vote count carefully and by comparison with a previous campaign find there were more subscriptions turned in during the period closed than is usual in a campaign of this kind. 50 EAST 133rd STREET — 4 Rooms, hot water, bath and electric light; $40. This means just one thing. Every candidate is fighting tooth and nail for the First Prize. Competition is going to be keen and every candidate must realize the time for concentrated effort has just begun. There is one more week in which you may take advantage of the last Big Votes and then the lowest scale will go into effect. Anything worth having is worth fighting for, and let us say right here, this will be some fight. Had Washington quit at Valley Forge there would be no U. S. A. Lincoln did not quit when the Civil War was half over. He fought to the end and saved the Union. In a way each of you is in the same position. You have carried your campaign to the crucial point where a little extra effort will either make a winner or loser of you. It is strictly in your hands now. "Preaching is never over till they sing" and "chickens can't be counted until they are hatched." Look at the vote count and see how easily you can jump in the lead. But do not overlook this—you are not the only one who is looking over this vote score. There are over fifty hustlers who are figuring carefully how to take advantage of the few precious days left to pile up a whole lot of votes, and you may be sure nothing will be left undone. There is too much at stake to slow up even for a single hour. Even to the disinterested outsider it is apparent that every one of the "live wire" workers is redoubling his or her efforts in the Continued on Page 7.9 CAMPAIGN NOTES ON PAGE THREE Chief Blue Cloud Got Outside Holy Water Charged with public intoxication.

BAUMES LAW MAY IMPRISON HARLEMITE FOR LIFE John Ross Pleads Guilty to Charge of Burglary—Fourth Offender — "No Need for Watch," He Says John Ross, 29, 453 Lenox avenue, is in Tombs Prison today awaiting arraignment in Harlem Court for a hearing on a charge of burglary, to which he has pleaded guilty and which, under the Baumes Law, will require his sentence to prison for the rest of his life. Ross was arrested with a youth who gave his name as Joe Jackson, 21, 2075 Fifth avenue, on a charge of attempting to burglarize the apartment of Charles Tapper, a baker, white, at 1555 Park avenue. Jackson, who had no criminal record, was held without ball. Ross has six convictions against him and two additional arrests. He served four terms for burglary and one each for carrying burglar's tools and possessing felonious weapons. Tapper charges that he was awakened by sounds from the door of his apartment and that he saw Ross and Jackson just as they had opened the door. He screamed and the pair, he says, ran from the house. One of them dropped a jimmy later found in the hallway. Policeman Rennison of the East 101th Street Station pursued the pair. They ran from 112th street and Park avenue to 111th street and Lexington avenue, where, after firing shots in the air, the policeman captured them in a hallway. "I know I'm licked," Ross told detectives. The youth took out a watch from his pocket and handed it to Jackson. "Take this clock, boy. I won't have no use for it where I'm going." Ross commented. By his plea Ross leaves no road open except a life sentence under the Banns Law. He will be arraigned in Harlem Court today. THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News 1927 Easter 1927 NEW YORK MAY LOSE ELKS' CONVENTION Detective Boulin Nabs Man When He Appears in Supreme Court Case Eternal Watchfulness Over Period of a Year Rewarded in Arrest of Terrence Dewey Jones More than a year ago operatives from Boulin's Detective Agency, 110 East 125th street, were called upon to locate and apprehend one George T. Jones, of 214 West 140th street, wanted for grand larceny and also for bail jumping. It is said that he was arrested in 1924 and taken to the Washington Heights Court, where he was held on $1,500 bail by the Judge for the Grand Jury. J. M. Green, bondsman, suddenly discovered that a trick was played upon him and he was compelled to pay $1,500 to the city after the court had cancelled the Jones bond and issued a warrant. JOHN A.

Green, bonded a trick was played upon him $1,500 to the city after the bond and issued a warrant. Green engaged the services of the Boulin's agency and after an investigation, the detectives discovered that there were two Jones brothers, George Jones and Terrence Dewey Jones. Terrence Dewey Jones was the man who Green had bailed out when he was arrested and had given his name as George T. Jones, thereby complicating his brother George Jones. It is further claimed that after a hearing in the Magistrate's Court Terrence Dewey Jones was put on ball. When it came for pleading to the indictment in General Sessions, the other brother, George Jones, employed a lawyer and pleaded not guilty, and the ball of $1,500 was continued. When the case came up for trial, neither of the brothers was present. Investigation further brought out that Jones had left town and was traced to Detroit, Mich., and other places by detectives. The brother, George Jones, an agent of the Victory Life Insurance Company, whom the bondman claimed took the plea, and for whom he stood ball, was arrested in the fall of 1926 by Boulin's men and placed in the Tombs, at which time he admitted he was George Jones, but declared that he was not the man who had committed the crime. His attorney, to substantiate this statement, subpoenaed the record. The police records of both brothers showed the following: That George Jones was convicted in 1916 for felony and was sentenced to jail and that Terrence Dewey Jones, the other brother, was convicted of petty larceny and sentenced to 20 days. However, upon a comparison of the fingerprints, it was proved conclusively that this prisoner George Jones was not the man who had committed the offence, although he had a criminal record. Apparently there was some trickery practiced and the judge continued the hearing for two days, while George Jones was held and then finally released. Upon being released, George Jones immediately filed suit (Continued on page 5.) "AN ODD TRIANGLE" ACCUSES OFFICER OF BEATING HIMIN COURT "Oh. Lord. Make Him Stop!" Man Yells as He Runs From Prison Room After Arraignment Throwing the court into disorder when he came scrambling madly up the stairs from the prison room at the Heights Court Thursday morning. William Bailey, 2301 West 150th street, crief out. "Oh. Lord. make this officer stop beating me up." The magistrate demanded order. Bailey, who is an installment collector, had just been arraigned before Magistrate Vitale and held in $5,000 bail on a charge of impersonating a police officer when he was arrested at 4:30 a.m. April 1 by Policeman John H. Robertson of the West 135th Street Station. Robertson testified that he stopped Bailey while driving an automobile with no headlights and that upon searching him found a toy pistol. Bailey then displayed a private detective's badge and said that he, too, was an officer, Robertson said. "Tell it to the judge." Robertson told him. Harold J. Seigel, white, 50 Broad street. Bailey's counsel, vigorously cross-examined Robertson, and this seemed to embarrass him. The cross-examination sought to show that the toy pistol belonged to Bailey's small brother, who was in the car with Bailey at the time of arrest. Seigel also sought to prove, upon the defendant's own statement, that he was making application at that time to join the police force. Bailey charged Robertson with searching his home. The large amount of ball was set because Bailey had a police record. DETECTIVES BIVORCE, INVESTIGATIONS, Ete.

MAGILL Funding the many preparations now going on iniment of the twenty-eighth grand lodge sesproved Benevolent Protective Order Elks of this city in August, there is a likelihood that will not be held here after all. On Friday a committee of lawyers, all members of the order selected from various parts of the country, will confer with Attorney-General Otteringer at Albany on the legal phase of a convention in New York City and the Grattan Law, a law which places Negro Elks outside the law in this State. Counsellor Thomas L. Higgins, exalted ruler of Brooklyn Lodge, is one of the members of this committee, which was just appointed by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler. They will return to New York and there prepare briefs on their opinion as to whether the convention could be legally held here, and these briefs will be taken up with the grand trustees who, upon the opinions of the lawyers' committee, will render the decision whether the next grand lodge session will be held in New York City. OMINOUS FOREBODINGS. When New York City decided to go in for the grand lodge session of 1927 a definite plan for the removal of the Grattan Law was in the mind of the late Glenchrist Stewart, who was the original head of the New York Grand Lodge Convention law committee. --- The Grattan Law, in effect, makes even the use of the Elk name a crime when so used by any other than whites. The law, however, has lain dormant and never been invoked. Nevertheless, if it was invoked, it could work havoc among the members of the L. B. P. O. E. of W. in this State. Stewart's death made a breach in the committee that seemingly has not been filled, for there was no attempt to get the law removed at the session of the New York Legislature just ended. Rather, the committee has depended upon the unmistakable friendliness of high o FLORENCE GARNETTE WINS CASE Special Sessions Decision Favors Founder of Girls' Training School Special Sessions Decision Favors Founder of Girls' Training School Litigation Involved Conveyance Deed to Property at 2181 Seventh Avenue — Complainant Alleged They Were Engaged at Time Delivering his decision straight from the bench.

Tenants Thwart Move to Double Rentals Four tenants residing in premises 300 West 135th street brought action in the Seventh District Municipal Court to reduce their rents, which at the time of their entrance were boosted to twice that of tenants then residing in the premises.

Much dissatisfied, they then retained Counselor George E. Hall, 200 West 135th street, to appeal the case. Mr. Hall then proceeded to set forth the total inadequacy of the bill of particulars in meeting the requirements of the statute; that technically the actions were for an increase of rent by the landlord rather than for reductions of rents by the tenants, and as such the landlord failed to overcome the presumption of unreasonableness; and the successful refutation by Mr. Hall of the assertion of the landlord's attorney that colored tenants depreciate property more rapidly than whites as justification for charging colored tenants twice the rentals. The Appellate Term of the Supreme Court reversed the lower court, giving as its reason the arguments set forth by Mr. Hall.

The two men denied any connection with the alleged policy bank. Campaign Notes The vote score is counted each Sunday. Votes turned in after Saturday night will not show in the current issue.

Hammond is coming right along. Mrs. Hammond is a consistent worker and we understand she will have to be reckoned with in the final count. Mrs. Octavia Hart put in a fine lot of votes, which helps her vote score in a most pleasing way. Albert Hawkins went up from one subscription to almost a million votes. Someone will have to step to keep him out of the lead. Mrs. Edna Haynes has passed the million and is well on the way for the second million. Some of you "high steppers" had better keep an eye on this score. The Rev. George Hinton is working like an old campaigner. Evidently he knows just how to go about winning and is getting results. James E. Holt is stepping along. See how he has passed the million from a very small score last week? Arthur Home put in a fine lot of votes in time to fatten up his score considerably. John L. Irving is an active worker and is losing no time during these busy days. Mrs. Ollie Mac Isom is stepping along. See how her vote score doubled last week. Calvin S. Johnson put in a fine lot of votes in time to help his score. Mrs. Lula Robinson-Jones usually gets what she goes after. From the number of votes in her score, it will be seen she has an eye on something worth while. D. R. Keese is not losing time in these busy days. He, too, is a "go-getter" as will be seen by the vote count. John R. Lee will be there when the roll is called. His votes are steadily piling up. Walter McCarey is "stepping on the gas." He added "piling up" votes in fine shape. Claudius McDonald is past the million and going strong after the second million. Fred F. McLean is certainly making a bid for the big Nash. Mrs. Lucy Norton has piled up a fine vote score during the past week, and is still going strong. "My grocer surely did me a favor when he started me on home-like Bond Bread two years ago." MRS. JESSIE GARCIA, 4060 Carpenter Ave., Bronx Fred F. McLean — Mrs. Edna Haynes — many votes and will no doubt give a good account of her vote getting.

MARY LANE, 112 West 133rd Street COURT BILL VETOED THIRD TIME Smith Says Measure to Relieve Seventh District Is Mandatory Smith Says Measure to Relieve Seventh District Is Mandatory Assemblyman Grenthal, in Statement, Says This Issue Was Not Raised Against Bill Increasing Officeholders' Salaries ALBANY, April 11. Governor Smith, for the third successive year, vetoed a bill to change the boundaries of the Seventh Municipal Court District in Manhattan and to provide for a new Tenth District, with three new justices. The measure was sponsored by Assemblyman Grenthal, Nineteenth A. D., New York City Republican. FOUR Former Assemblyman Pope Billups, a Negro, told the Governor that if it were not for the fact that the New York City authorities were convinced the change would result in the election of a Negro justice, they would not oppose it. In his veto memorandum, Governor Smith wrote: "This bill is objectionable upon the ground that it is mandatory city legislation compelling the City of New York, in opposition to the wishes of the local authorities, to set up a new Municipal Court district. That is an expense which the local authorities state is not warranted." Assemblyman Grenthal, following the veto, said in part: "The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court on March 10 decided that the city government could not legislate or act in any way regarding the "Muntilpaal Court, for the reason that the court is a branch of the judicial system of the State of New York, and has nothing to do with the property. affairs or government of the city." "My bill was passed by the Legislature in conformity with the law." "The Governor works an injustice to a growing and already overcrowded district, and does it on the pretext he must stand between the Republican Legislature and the treasury of the city." "I notice that the Governor does not raise any such objections to a salary increase for the District Attorney of Queens from $12,000 to $20,000 a year, for the Surrogate of Queens from $17,500 to $22,500 a year, for the District Attorney of Kings from $15,000 to $20,000 a year, for the Sheriff of New York County from $12,000 to $15,000 a year, for the Under Sheriff from $6,500 to $8,000 a year, for the Chief Clerk in the same office from $4,500 to $6,500 a year, and for the Assistant Counsel from $4,000 to $4,500 a year. "Here are $25,000 in salary, increases, all for Tammany officeholders, bills for these increases come before Governor Smith, and none appears at the public hearing from the City Government. "So the Governor signs the bills for all these increases and never says a word about HOME RULE, mandatory legislation or a Republican legislature warded off from the City treasury by a Democratic Governor who pretends he never plays politics, but who is playing politics all the time."

"Big Bill" Thompson Takes Oath of Office CHICAGO, April 11.—William Hale ("Big Bill") Thompson, elected Mayor of Chicago for the third time last Tuesday over Mayor William E. Dever, incumbent, took the oath of office late today at the City Hall. A few minutes later the Republican City Clerk and City Treasurer also were sworn in. None of the new city officials will be able to take over the offices of their Democratic predecessors until their bonds are presented to a special meeting of the City Council and approved. Mr. Thompson took the oath following the official proclamation by the election board certifying his election after a canvass of the vote showed he had been elected by almost 83,000 votes. Negroes voted almost to a man for him. While Mr. Thompson may perform the duties of Mayor after his bonds are approved. he will not be mangurated formally until next Monday night at a City Council meeting called for that purpose. New York May Lose Convention (Continued from Page 1.) officials in New York Lodge No. 1, B. P. O. E., the white order in this city. These officials have signified their willingness for the thousands of Elks in this country to come to New York for their grand lodge session and have promised to co- operate with the local committee. But the appointment of this com- mittee of lawyers makes the situa- tion look omnious and it is not at all unlikely that they will declare New York cannot legally entertain their brother Elks. If this is done, the exalted ruler will at once call off the convention from New York and assign it to some other city. MAY CAUSE SPLIT. Only a few weeks ago George E. Bates, grand secretary of the I. B. P. O. E., in a speech in a New York City church, said emphatically that the convention would be held in New York or it would be held nowhere. In addition, it is said that James Carter of Richmond, grand treasurer, holds the same view as does Bates. In the event that Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson issues an edict for bidding the holding of the convention in New York, it remains to be seen whether Bates and Carter would defy the head of the order and attempt to hold the session here in spite of the edict. Such an act would, of course, split the order and Elkdon would once again find itself in the same position it was a score or more of years ago, when men like the late J. Frank Wheaton did so much to cement it again after a split somewhat similar to the possible one that may come in August. Old-time members of the order, however, do not believe Bates and Carter would defy Wilson on such an order to the end that they would persist in holding the convention in New York when the grand exalted ruler had named some other city, a thing which he, as head of the order, has the right to do. DECISION KNOWN SOON. Within a week the lawyers' committee briefs and the decision of the grand trustees will be known and it will be definitely settled whether the twenty-eighth session will be held here or whether it will be called to some other city. In view of the fact that the order has a membership of more than 100,000 in this country alone and extends to Canada, the West Indies. Cuba, Panama and Liberia, the de- cision will be awaited with great interest, as it will have an effect on thousands of people throughout the world. Two Chattanooga Boys Confess Kidnapping CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 11. —Two boys, 17 and 14 years old, have confessed to kidnapping Virginia Josephine Frazier, white, 2 year-old daughter of City Commissioner and Mrs. Fred B. Frazier, but police plan to place on trial a man and woman charged with the abduction. Lewis and Arthur Willis, brothers, told police they engineered plans by which they took the baby from her crib on the evening of March 23 and kept her until $3,333 ransom was paid. Deputy Charles Taylor found $3,050, only $280 less than the amount paid over to a man by Mr. Frazier, in the boys' home. Despite their explanation, police are holding Frank Baskett, 47, a former policeman, and Mrs. Annie Thomason, both of whom deny any connection with the abduction.

Malone, who leaped through a window here last Saturday night week in a moment of desperation, is still confined to St. Mary's hospital, in East St. Louis. Reports say that Mr. Malone is improving and that part of the time he is rational. The hearing on the receivership has been postponed at the request of Mr. Malone's attorneys. So long as Malone remains in Illinois it is unlikely an attempt will be made to have him examined mentally. Mr. Malone, husband of Mrs. Anna M. Malone, founder and owner of Poro College, created a future of excitement in the semi-exclusive Cook avenue district when he leaped through the second-story window of 4212 West Cook avenue and ran screaming into the darkness. His friends had, it is said, for some time regarded his mental condition as away below par and bordering perhaps on definite insufficiency. He became suddenly violent the day the plunge was made, suffering from a hallucination that someone was trying to kidnap him, it is said. Galning his feet, he ran down the street and into the darkness, screaming "Murder, police, they are trying to kidnap me. Don't let them change lawyers on me" he YOU CA STRAIGHT HAIR,TOO YOU CAN HAVE STRAIGHT SMOOTH HAIR.TOC So why, unruly hair will win you from looking your best, but matter how well dressed or what good features you have.

He was later removed to the hospital. Mr. Malone's friends have been reporting oddities in his actions for some time. When the Urban League met here recently, one of the delegates, Noah D. Thompson, formerly of Los Angeles, now business manager of Opportunity Magazine, called on him and Mr. Malone took a towel and some powder and powdered Thompson's face copiously. Later he visited a session of the league in the People's Finance Building and, seeing Mr. Thompson seated there, rushed up to him and kissed him roundingly, much to Mr. Thompson's embarrassment. Mrs. Malone has been out of the city for several days and it was impossible to reach her for a statement on the situation. The hearing was scheduled to begin Monday past. Unable to Identify Cop She Accused William H. Lewis Defending Ousted Officer in Boston BOSTON, April 11.—A rapid-fire cross-examination by Attorney William H. Lewis, counsel for Officer Samuel Shelburne, on trial for conduct unbecoming to a policeman, before Commissioner Wilson at Police Headquarters, caused Mrs. Madline Prentis, 755 Washington street, Dorchester, plaintiff, to admit she could not identify the defendant. Mrs. Prentis, known as the "perfect woman" in a health contest of 1923, further testified that Shelburne did not assault her, as was claimed, on the night of February 6, when she was stricken on Blue Hill avenue. Public hearing of the case began last Friday and was resumed today. The accused officer, now discharged from the force after a trial board of police captains had found him guilty on February 15, demanded this hearing to vindicate himself. Attorney Butler R. Wilson is senior counsel for the defense. Among those to testify in the case were as follows: Dr. Nathan Levy, who reported the case to Station 2; Lieut. J. J. Homanoh and Sgtg. Allen Edwards, Samuel Wishinsky, Reuben Orenburg and Edwin Burbank, who was asleep in the hearing room when Sergt. Delbert Augusta called him. Shelburne will take the stand in his own defense as the case proceeds.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1927 Fail to Appoint Insur. Examiner Fail to Appoint Insur. Examiner Alvin C. Morris Stood Second on List in Civil Service Examination After having passed the State Civil Service examination for Examiner in the State Insurance Department, standing second on the list, Alvin C. Morris, $21 East 167th street, has repeatedly been denied an appointment. At the time the examination was held, May 22, 1956, there were seven vacancies in the Department to be filled. Fifteen appointments have since been made, but Morris has not been one of the appointees. Rudolph Heinsohn, white, of Queens, was first on the list, but he declined an appointment. This left Morris, whose average was $6.25, at the head of the list. In an interview Saturday, Morris says that he was called only once, though the Commission claims that he was certified three different times. The matter was taken up some time ago with Atty Pope Billups, former Assemblyman; Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton and Judge Olvany, but without any tangible result. In reply to Atty Billup's letter to Superintendent-Beha of the Insurance Department, the latter's secretary wrote that Mr. Baha was within his rights in withholding Morris's appointment. No reasons, however, were stated for the action. Boulin Nabs Man in Court Boulin Nabs Man in Court (Continued from Page 1.1) against Bouldin's Detective Agency, J. M. Green and The Amsterdam News for $10,000 damages, alleging fuse arrest, defamation of character and several other charges. Bouldin kept a watchful eye upon the movements of the Joneses and then several days ago there appeared on the Supreme Court calendar an insignificant notice calling for the hearing in the action of Dewey Jones vs. the Terry Real state Corporation. Upon investigation it was uncovered that Terrence Dewey Jones of the same address, 214 West 150th street, was suing the Terry Corporation for $10,000 damages for injuries sustained by falling plaster in one of the corporation's houses, which he claimed broke his nose and necessitated the putting in of four stitches over his eye. This accident took place, according to the Jones suit, in December, 1911, but investigation brought out that around this time Dewey Jones had a fight with a man, as a result of which he sustained scratches on his nose. In the hope that his man would appear to testify in the action Boulin for four days had several of his operatives patrolling the corridors of the new Supreme Court building and finally on Wednesday, March 30, the case was called to trial before Judge Gavagan in Part X of the Supreme Court. Sure enough. Boulin's suspicions were justified, for there in a front seat sitting alongside of his sister was the fugitive from justice, Terrence Dewey Jones, feeling safe and secure in the knowledge that out in the corridor was a watchful friend who would warn him in case of trouble. Slipping past this friend of Terrence Dewey Jones, Boulin entered the court and was immediately recognized by Jones who, thinking he had a chance to get away, Boulin turned to call for a court attendant, sped out of side door and into the outstretched enfolding arms of Boulin's awaiting operatives. They dragged the culprit back in the courtroom, where Boulin denounced him and exposed him to Judge Gavagan as a fugitive from justice and offered to produce his criminal record for verification of the charges. The Judge ordered Jones held by the police officer on duty outside the court until Boulin returned with his warrant. A few minutes later, accompanied by a detective from the District Attorney's office, Boulin handeuffed his man and led him off to jail. During all this time the jury and spectators were thrown into a state of excitement. Court was adjourned and the case of Jones against the Terry Corporation postponed. Mr. Green, the bondsman, will now get back his $1,500. It is said that plans are now afoot to bring charges against George Jones for impersonating his brother. WHITE MOTHER ABANDONS CHILDREN PRESTON NEWS SERVICE FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. April II. Two young children abandoned by their mother are being cared for by the County Welfare Officer. The children, aged five months and five years, were left with Marie Hayes, on Cool Spring street, by a white woman thought to be Mrs. Roy Sauls, whose husband was recently sentenced to the county roads for violation of the prohibition law. She told Mrs. Hayes that she would return shortly for the children, but did not do so. YOUNG MAN GIVEN RESPONSIBLE POSITION RESPONSIBLE POSITION CHICAGO.

Fred Fenton. 204 West 141st street, caused the arrest of two interborough employees, at the 135th street and Lenox avenue station, when they snatched his hat valued at $9, just as he was about to board the train. Harold Fuller. 23, 729 Amsterdam avenue, and John Hackett. 27, 662 East 235th street, both white, were arrested by Policeman Anderson of the West 135th street station, when Fenton pointed them out. Fuller had Fenton's hat on. When arraigned in Heights Court Monday morning, Magistrate Marsh held the youths in $3,500 bail each, on a charge of grand larceny, for examination today. Fuller pleaded guilty. Woman Let Off With Warning Given a suspended sentence Friday when arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate Vitale, who warned her to keep the peace. Mrs. Dauphine Carter, S7-St. Nicholas place, was admonished to refrain from taking the law into her own hands. The situation grew out of the complaint of Eloise R. Gardner, 435 West 33th street, who charged Mrs. Carter with fighting her and driving her from the house (she was rooming with Mrs. Carter) late Sunday night, April 3. Miss Gardner, who is a Post Office employee, testified that Mrs. Carter assaulted her because it was charged that she had been discussing Mrs. Carter's family affairs. Blows were struck and the affair wound up in Heights Court. RECOR LATEST RECORD NEWS JOHN B.

War Department Denies Exclusion War Department Denies Exclusion Jim-Crow Ruling of 1923 Cited as Proof WASHINGTON, April 11.—The War Department denied Thursday that Marsden B. Burnell had been barred from the Citizens' Military Training Camps on account of race, in which denial, it was pointed out that, on January 17, 1923, the adjutant-general of the army issued instructions to the corps area commanders governing Negro units in C. M. T. camps that where as many as fifty qualified colored applicants expressed a desire for training, the commanding officer is directed to organize a separate unit in the camp, with separate barracks and separate mess, handling the unit just as Negro units are handled in the Regular Army.

What a handsome fellow he was—devilishly handsome, with his tall and still athletic figure, his samurai-cast of countenance, his rich voice and gentle manner. At last, Mathilde fung herself upon the satin-covered couch disconsolate. She tried to sleep, but her brain was inwardly. A fearsome barking in the little backyard. Jake, her Belgian dog, attacking somebody. Could it be her husband stumbling in from the alley? Mathilde rushed into the shining white kitchen, threw open wide the door, and in the light that streamed into the yard, saw the big, sinewy dog, leaping upon the fence again and again in a desperate attempt to extirpate a frightened, snarling, green-eyed cat. Peremortorly, she brought the militant Jake into the living room, finding comfort in having him there. all conscience-stricken, to reprove. Soon he curled himself up apologetically, but most costly, upon the rich Bokhara at her feet, blinking at his mistress with doleful eyes and snuffing her golden slipper. A few minutes later without any tungible provocation. Jake sprang up bristling and barking, and rushed to the front door. The hell—insistent. Mathilde at the door, her heart beating fast and hard. The curtain drawn aside. Not her husband but a strange man in uniform. Her hand in the dog's collar, she opened the door. "Is this Mrs. Hull?" the Negro TER DRESSED SAVE EASTER BE WELL-DRESSED BUT SAVE How the mother's heart yearned for the physical presence of her daughter, again hers after all these dreary years! Mathilde longed to enfold this only child of hers once again in her arms, to fendle against her breast that lovely head—so like her own, everybody used to say—with its profession of lustrous black hair, to kiss again the sun-burnished cheeks of this baby of her youth. And, if Tracy needed her— But, now all the hideous past rose again in pitiless detail! It had haunted Mathilde during all these years of loneliness. The silver strands in the mother's hair bore witness to the travail of her spirit. Even now what had been unfrighted her. It was in this very room in the dainty brick house on Fourth street, just above Florida avenue, where now she nervously crumpled her daughter's scented letter, that Mathilde had sat eleven years ago—and in the selfmade black walnut chair—patiently and tremulously awaiting the return of her husband that fateful night in tearful April. It was all most vivid to her now. The patter, patter, patter—the madding patter of the rain—she could hear it now again! With what a bitter and implacable melody did the grand-father's clock, now article in the hour, strike the hour—three o'clock in the morning! Would he come home beastly drunk again? He knew his faithful wife would, as always, await him downstairs with caresses and no single word of scolding. But, what did he care? Once he strove mightily to win her and then her merest whim was his NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1927 A woman in a white dress and an apron stands in front of a door, holding a piece of paper. A police officer stands to her right, holding a baton. A dog is sitting on the floor in front of the door. "BAD NEWS, MA'M. A big man, later identified as John Hull of Prince Hall Lodge and the State Department, was found at 2:20 A.M. on North Capitol Street, dead as a poker." policeman asks kindly in his rough voice. manner which made interruption impossible for her. Hope Day Nursery to Present Scholarship Program fore the public this year, because during the past year the best "Bad news. Mam. A big man, later identified positively as John Hull of Prince Hall Lodge and the State Department, was found at 2:20 A.M. on North Capitol street near the Union Station, stiff as a poker. Mam. and smelling of gil. Synthetic gin it was. Mam. officer Sullivan found him there in the gutter and called an ambulance. Attendant thought the man dead, all right, but, to make sure, rushed him to Freedmen's Hospital just the same. Dead as a stone. Mam.—dead as a stone. It had stuff. Mam. synthetic gin. But, what's a fellow going to these days?" I'm a member of Prince Hall myself. This sordid episode had marked the turning point in the young woman's life. Had she given heed to her father's casteistic advice, she would never have married John. It was just before her engagement. She was throbbing with love and faith and hope. In the oak paneled library of the spacious home on S street, near 15th, old Mathew Johnson, acting for himself and his dead wife, had been moved to break his protracted silence on the subject of Mathilde's possible marriage. Under bisterling eyebrows—white as snow against his fine dark face—his piercing brown eyes had regarded her steadily and not without understanding as, tense vertical lines of concentration in his spacious forehead, he set aside his black cigar and said in his deep, level tones: "This John Hull, of your fancy, came of Old Virginia stock; he ought to be sound and straight." Mr. Johnson took up his cigar again, leaning back in his chair, and patting gently for a moment or two. "John was graduated from a good college but, I'm told," and the old man looked straight into his daughter's eyes — "I'm told on excellent authority he studied only just enough to stay on the football team." The old man paused, raising his cigar to his lips again. "Still," he continued with a shrug of the shoulders. "John played the game as no Lincoln quarterback has played it since." Mathilde realized that her father meant to be perfectly fair to her lover but she feared the impending blow. "Doctor Hull wanted him to study medicine," continued her father with accuracy. "Today at twenty-six, John has no professional training whatever." Mr. Johnson paused and puffed to let the significance of the fact sink in Mathilde's consciousness. And then he proceeded — "To be a Negro is disadvantage enough, don't you think, in the cold-blooded competitions of this new era in the affairs of our race and nation. Why add the disadvantage of not having any specific knowledge of our race and skill that the world wants—and will pay for?" This was Tuskegee philosophy. Mathilde thought, and she tried to recall some of the distraits of Professor Nocal H. Thomas and the other intelligentsia orators at the Bottel Literary which she could borrow for rejoinder. But, there was that in her father's manner which made interruption impossible for her. "I picked up my own education as best I could." he continued hourly, "enjoying only three years of schooling; but, I did manage to succeed in two things—" there was a flash in his eye. "mastering my mother tongue for the purposes of my own career and mastering a prosaic, but necessary, business. If your pigmented Don Juan had the slightest interest in business enterprise or the faintest aptitude for it, I'd make him assistant manager in my long distance trucking. But, he'd spend his time wrifting fowler verses for moron women. No business could stand that! How I wish John were a real man instead of a lounge-lizard?" This was quite unfair. Mathilde felt; and she was about to protest but her father went relentlessly on. "When John's father, the Doctor, died, what did he leave him? An annuity—just enough to keep a fashion-plate animated, but not one cent more. Thanks to the Secretary, whose friendship for the Hulls is so stunning, John has a white collar job at the State Department. His salary is less than that of Dimplets Stewart, the kindergarten assistant! Dainty dangles, like this John of yours, appeal to you women, young and old. So attentive! So gentle. So fluent. So damnably indifferent to the realities of life! Mathilde's olive face had become usen; cold shivers ran through her; she was speechless. "What solid qualities." continued the relentless old man "does this young blade possess? Is he willing to work? No! Has he ever really worked? No: his hardest work has been play! Will he ever? No: emphatically, no! I say Mathilde," and the old man rose to his feet and stood glowering over her. "John Hull is not the man for a woman like you to tle to. At nineteen you are too young to marry anyhow; why not go to college?" I send you to any first class woman's college in the country—if you'll go. Let John Hull run off with that Shuffle Along showgirl, if he must possess lip-stick beauty . . . It is not vices though John never refused a soft drink of brandy in his life—but lack of any definite efficiency that makes him a damned poor catch." The tears were streaming down Mathilde's cheeks but her father went on remorselessly, she felt. "My diabetes won't let me live long. Doctor West tells me, but I venture to predict—and mark my words, young woman—if this fox-trot Romeo of yours doesn't fill his mind and time with business, the vices that men have, will eventually take up the vacuum!" Mr. Johnson glared at his daughter a moment or two, and stalked out of the room. (To be continued next week.)

Should high school and college students go to parties and affairs? Well, as Sir Roger do Coverly would say, "There's much to be said on both sides." The average girl student finds that she wants to go out on Friday or Saturday nights, and I believe that she should. The mind needs recreation, and the end of the week is the best time for it. She should not go out during the week, as it's mighty hard to keep her thoughts on history when she has as a background last night's fun. This applies to boys too. She is of the affair type that thinks homeman affair a week before and a week after, she had better go slow. She is of the type that needs to concentrate on her studies and should not take in affairs that are likely to detract her thoughts. A young college girl told me the other day that her weekends just flew by and always left her behind in her work. On Friday nights she went to parties and therefore slept late Saturday mornings. Saturday afternoons and evenings were taken up with housework and going to the library. Sundays meant church and teaching Sunday school, and when Monday came around she was a wreck. Therefore, young women think over your individual program and adjust it to your own personal needs. At this period in your career your school work must have first place. My advice to the young woman whose letter is printed below is that recreation on Friday nights is all right if she can get all her work done. It's best to play on the safe side for the first two years, at least, of college life. I am a young college girl of eighteen and I have a rather difficult problem. My mother thinks that books and good times don't mix. I have to have to live in big dances, support or other entertainments she objects to my going. She says I'll have time enough for such things when I finish college, but, her, but it hurts! I think that it is best to enjoy life as you go. Of course it means late hours, because nothing begins till late except shows. I have to account that, before all you don't live but pursue. Do you? I wonder. $ ^ { \mathrm { i } } $ear Egypty Ann: I am a very large fellow and have been the jolly, fun-making, life-of-the St. charity type until very recently. I am now a conscientious wallflower.

Washington Make Yourself Attractive A woman gifted with beautiful hair and lovely skin can go through life giving the impression of beauty, even though her features may be far from beautiful. Yes, it is first impressions what count in looks after all. Nobody cares particularly about having the type of beauty that is evident only after careful observation. All that gives the impression of beauty to the closest casual observer. And hair and skin have more responsibility in this than any other parts of our appearance. STOP COUGHING BOSCHEE'S SYRUP it is, care that gives the greatest beauty to the hair. You know that naturally kinky and unruly hair may be made really beautiful by systematic attention. There is absolutely no excuse for any woman not having pretty hair now that we have so many beauty patrons where one man met another man and operator who we studied the art of artificially changing "had hair" to that of fine, soft, and silky quality.

A complexion of "peaches and cream" is all very well, but there is nothing lovelier than the rich, varying tones and shades of which some members of the Negro race are the proud possessors. Nobody has any business moping over a bad complexion. It is your own fault and the sooner you set about remedying it the happier you will be. The first thing you must do is to check up your balance sheet on health. Do you take plenty of exercise east good, wholesome food and not too much of food well at night, keep yourself in good healthy condition physically, particularly as regards elimination; and use a sufficient supply of soap and water? Pay more attention to your hair and skin and improve their appearance. Constant care of these two things will, within a short period, make you strikingly attractive. Emma Ransom House Guests Mrs. W.

In addition to making several formidable scholastic records. Moore has run some impressive races in a class with Willie Ritola, the country's outstanding distance man.

It is expected that, with one or two years back of him, he will not only hold the colored championship for mile and two mile events, but will be the country's best, regardless of race. As a matter of fact, Moore has already been picked as a likely candidate for the United States Olympic team for 1928. It will be remembered that, at the last Open Championships held at Howard University, Moore was the most colorful runner of the afternoon. He won the mile event with ease and, to the surprise of the great mass of spectators, he returned a few minutes later to win the two mile event in record time. The management expects to give some promising distance men large handcaps in a race with Moore who will start from scratch so that the phenomenal Moore may have a chance to extend himself and establish another record. Moore is not only a capable runner, but is a modest athlete who has gained great favor in the public eye. With the National Open Championships being held in the new Howard University, Stadium, it will be well worth the price of admission to see Moore in the mile and two mile events, to say nothing of the other luminaries that will appear at this meet.

Louis Sovina Buys House on Seventh Avenue Louis Sovina, remembered by hundreds as one of the men erecting the Roosevelt and Douglas Theatres, and who won a host of friends in the community when actively engaged in presenting picture shows at those houses, bought the property at 2265 Seventh avenue this week. This brings Mr. Sovina as a neighbor to the Amsterdam News, and a most welcome one, as he has always shown a disposition to fully support those institutions of Negroes in the community. Sovina has been successfully engaged in real estate ever since leaving the theatrical business, and we do not think it far-fetched to hope that he makes brilliant return to the game in the near future. 1924 1927 CHARITY DANCE Given by AMBASSADOR SOCIAL CLUB For the Benefit of New York Urban League AT RENAISSANCE CASINO 105th St. and 7th Ave. EASTER MONDAY NIGHT APRIL 18, 1927 Subscription $1.00 Boxes $5.00 THE SONS & DAUGHTERS OF ST.

The real meaning of "IT." accords on cording to the English author, Orlando, an invisible emanation which the bed-auxes from certain human being rendering them irresistible to the opposite sex. It's a peculiar quality possessed by some persons which draws all others to them. To make her explanation clearer Madame Glyn has compiled a list of ten things you must have to possess "IT." Unless you score 100 per cent on each of them you're definitely out of the running! You must be free from all self-consciousness. You must have .that magnetic sex-appeal which is irresistible. You must have complete self-confidence. You must be indifferent to general opinion—but quite firm about your own. You must give an impression that nothing on earth could influence or hold you unless you wished it. You must have individuality. You must be absolutely fearless. You must be perfectly true to yourself, whether that self is good or bad, for no sham of any kind can have "TT." And last of all, you must be capable of deep and sincere love.

"Eagle of the Sea" at Renaissance Theatre If you enjoyed "The Ten Commandments" then you are certain to enjoy "After Six Days," which will be the feature picture at the Renaissance Theatre Thursday and Friday, April 14-15. In this picture, a magnificent picturization of the world's greatest story, with 600 principals and 50,000 supernumeraries in the cast, one is carried from the beginning with Adam and Eve to the ending with the immortal songs of King Solomon, Critics pronounce "After Six Days" as surpassing even the "Ten Commandments." See this biblical epic at your favorite theatre. Saturday, Sunday and Monday, April 16-17-18. "The Eagle of the Sea," a Frank Lloyd production, with Florence Vidor and Ricardo Cortez, will be the feature at the Renaissance Theatre. All the thrills of a sea story that deals with the pirates of old will be found in this picture. Combined with the thrills is the never old theme, love, and the two go to make "Eagle of the Sea" one of the screen's finest offerings. "The Eagle of the Sea" is considered by many to be even greater than the "Sea Hawk," which was the director's greatest effort. Irene Rich in Fine Picture at the Roosevelt Irene Rich, the charming star of Warner Brothers' "Don't Tell the Wife," coming to the Roosevelt Theatre, in the part of Madame Cartier, shows new scintillations of delicate flashing humor, never before seen in her characterizations.

Brunson, Dixon, Smith Leading in Tourney This has been a wonderful season for billiards, and now the Musicians' Tournament, the last of this billiard season, is narrowing down to Brunson, Dixon and Luke Smith. While there have been no records broken for high runs, there were many games won and lost by 1-2 and 4 points, which substantiates the handicaper's knowledge of the players. One of the most surprising upsets of the tournament was the finishing of the two-year champion, Clarence Jones, who for the first time dropped three out of ten games to Brunson, Thompson and Luke Smith, all by a margin of 2-36 points. Of course, he is no exception, as there were many upsets among the professional players and amateurs. This classic will finish Saturday. April 23, and the winner will receive a handsome jointed cue by the management of the Lafayette Billard Emporium.

JOSEPHS SUNDAY NIGHT Another brilliant page was written in basketball history when the Renalance Five closed their road appearances during the past fortnight. Many colored teams have made an attempt to wrest the glory which has been theirs from this season, but they have met and defeated them all. This included Asbury Park, 73-29 score; Philadelphia, 54-19, and Atlantic City, 35-17. Since March 9 the scoring of the fast-growing New Yorkers has been a revelation, with "Pappy" Hicks, the former "Jersey Kangaroo," topping the list. From our records we glean the following: Field Goals Bicks ..... 118 Jenkins ..... 79 Slocum ..... 62 Mayers ..... 59 Saunders ..... 55 Flall ..... 21 Satch ..... 10 Playing in exhibition games our boys twice defeated the famous Palace Club of Washington. D. C. one of the major teams of the American League, on April 6, at Emira, X. Y., by a score of 85-17. The same night at Amsterdam, X. Y., they repeated the dose, this time winning by the larger score of 40-17. We submit the above for the edification of Mr. Cumberland Posey and others in doubts as to the ability of the only outstanding professional team of color in the United States. Up at the old stamping grounds at Renaissance Casino, last Sunday night, the boys took the Catskill quintet into camp by the score of 14-32. In the preliminary the Collegians defeated the Combination Pive by 29 to 15.

I suffered with my back and sides, too. My mother suggested that my mother give me Cardui, for which I am very thankful. I took a bottles at that time, and was soon strong and well and did not have severe headaches or pains at certain periods.

ALUMNI-Y.M.D. ANNUAL GAME Many Stars in Lineup of the Local Quint The Y. M. D. basketball team will endeavor next Saturday night to defeat the Alumni team and in doing so gain possession of the trophy which has rested in the latters hands since it was first put into competition one year ago by Messrs. Nail and Parker. The team that won last year have their names engraved on one of the tiny slabs beneath the huge ball and in succession rests seven more on which this year's victor and subsequent victors will have their inscribed. On the first slab the names of the following are found: "Eye" Saitch, "Ken" Harris, "Roddy" Dyer, "Johnny" Hopkins, "Kik" Mayers, "George" Jackson, Joe Steber and "Dick" Harvey, Mayers and Harvey alone remain from last season's crack five. Nevertheless, they are well fortified with new men, George Gregory, "Bob" Payne, "Squack" Miller and J. R. Hands, the "Four Horsemen" from last year's Y. M. D. team, ably filling the positions left vacant. Alumni will choose their lineup from these six men aforementioned. While Y. M. D. will doubtlessly start Reese, Adams, Riley, Baker and Jeffries, they are well supplied with reserve material in Walford, Marshall, Washington and Walker. In the preliminary attraction the "Lightweights" encounter the speedy "Cardinals." The "Playing Saints" of St. Jude journeyed to the City of Churches Saturday evening. April 9, and defeated the Carlton Y. M. D by a score of 36 to 24. This game terminated the season for the St. Jude Five.

H. Brooks Memorial Run The 369 (Old Fifteenth) Infantry Athletic Committee is perfecting elaborate plans for the Diamond Medal Track Meet which will be staged at the new Armory. 30 West 143rd street, New York City. Friday evening. April 22, starting promptly at 7:45 o'clock. Interest in this meet took another jump when Capt. R. A. Atkins, Regimental Athletic Officer, announced that Charlie Major of St. Bonaventure's College had entered the high jump handicap. We can rely upon Major to make the final remember this event. Lincoln University plans to be represented in the College and Club relay by a team under the leadership of Captain Stratton. Leon S. Royce, Lincoln's Track Manager, informs us that Strickland, Orasty, Bell, Fletcher and Devoe will carry the University's colors in the various events. "Nick the Greek." a veteran distance runner of Olympic fame, is showing his old-time form in his daily training. "Nick" is scheduled to measure strides with Willie Ritola, the famous Finn, in a special event. This will be his final indoor appearance this season, and "Nick" will next show his wares in the Evening Graphic Marathon. The track managers of the local chapters of Phi Beta Sigma, Omega Psi Phi, Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Alpha Phi Fraternities inform us that the "Frats" will be represented by fast running quartets in the $50 Yards Fraternity Relay (closed). A handsome cup and medals for the winners of this event were donated by the officers of the Second Battalion, commended by Major James F. Rouche. Some of the prominent donors of jeweled medals for the open events and cups for the relays are: Lt. Col. J. G. Grimley, Major Leo Fitz Nearon, Mr. Craigg, Mr. Tabb, The Renaissance Five, the 369th Regiment Officers Association, the Officers of the First Battalion, commanded by Major Andrew F. Lamb, and the officers of the Fourth Battalion. This section of Harlem has not seen an indoor track meet and the program arranged by the Athletic Committee is interesting proof that the track fans will receive a rare treat at the 269th Armory on April 22. in addition to the Chaplain Win. H. Brooks Memorial 500 Yard Run in which Cecil Cook, Phil. Edwards, "Pinkie" Sober and other stars have been invited to run, and a spectaculr distance event in which Willie Ritola and "Nick" the Greek will compete, the committee is receiving many entries for the 70 Yards Handicap, 330 Yards Handicap, $80 Yards Novice, 1000 Yards Handicap, High Jump Handicap, One Mile Walk Handicap, Two Mile Run Handicap, Junior High 120 Ib. team 1 Lap Relay, Junior High High Limited Weight 1 Leap Relay, Private and Public High One Mile Relay, Regimental Closed 80 yards Relay, Military Athletic League $80 Yards Relay, College and Club One Mile Relay, and the Interfraternity $80 Yards Relay.

In order to accustom themselves to running on boards, competitors are permitted to train in the Armory.

Braves Drop Close One The New York Braves were defeated, 17-15, in a practice game at Jasper Oval on Sunday, which was called at the end of seven innings, by a team consisting largely of semi-pro players. Although the Braves lost, they brought no discredit to themselves, for they pounded the ball to all parts of the diamond before they were nosed out. Babe Daniels and Radio Robinson smacked homers. The Braves are open for games, and teams that desire games may write to Mr. Sasso at 206 W. 142d street at their earliest convenience. 1894 FRONT! ORGANIZED 1927 FRONT!

M. D. Alumni, Coach George Gregory's Young Men's Division five swept aside the challenging Union Flashes by a count of 39 to 27 in the West 13th Street Y. M. C. A. gym Saturday night. Because victory in this game, which is tentatively scheduled for Saturday night, April 15, signifies the championship of the branch as well as possession for a year of the big true-sized silver basketball trophy, the Y. M. D. was looking anxiously as it did away with another rival. Last year the Alumni edged out their younger opponents by a one-point margin and this season, with that entire bunch of the defeated five graduated into the Alumni class, they are eager to hand a walloping down to the players who advanced to take up the vacated Y. M. D. positions. On the same card with the Union Flashes affair, the Aztecs shut out the less brave Brave-hearts 26 to 0. The Excelsiors outwitted the Spartans 40 to 7. and the Cubs turned back the Commodores 36 to 10. Uruguay Knickers in Tie Miss Many Chances Against Fall River Eleven Playing at Tiverton on Sunday TIVERTON. K. L. April 11.—The Uruguayan soccer team, Olympic champions, fashed a brilliant game here yesterday against the Fall River kickers of the American Soccer League, but had to be content with a 1 to 1 tie. The invaders outplayed the New Englanders throughout, but missed many golden opportunities to score. White gave Fall River a lead in the first half, but Castro equalized ten minutes before full time when Blair stopped his drive but failed to hold the ball. Herbert A.

"BAD NEWS" Henry Shaw, welterweight of the 369th Infantry, and George Jackson of Company I, Flushing, battled eight sessions to a draw at the Flushing Armory Thursday night. The decision was unpopular in opinion that Shaw earned the verdict. Willie Ad Makel, another "Hell Fighter," and Willie Hole. 245th Coast Artillery, boxed eight rounds to a draw on the same card. BECAUSE of an attack of the gripe, Bruce Flowers was forced to cancel his engagement with Murray Ellins, scheduled for the St. Nicholas Hospital.

The game was a well played one, with plenty of pep from start to finish. There was quite a large crowd out to witness the contest. "When tires fail to stand the grind. When blowouts get you sore.

April 17. Among the regulars, who will make their first appearance in the Lincoln's line-up this season will be "Rube" Chambers. Rojo and Gilmore. Unusually cool weather has handicapped team training and was partly responsible for the home team being defeated in its first two games. On unday, April 16, the Doherty Silk Sox of Paterson, N.

Rojo, the new Giant's catcher, will be remembered by local fans as the peppy backstop of the original Bacharach Giants. Although a veteran, he is still considered one of the best catchers in the game and is expected to stir things up at Protectory Oval. "Tex" Burnett of the Royals has been doing the catching for the Lincoln up to date. Another player that will be welcomed by fans will be Eddie Douglass, former manager of the Royal Giants, who is expected to play first base for the Lincoln this season.

PARCHMENT—Adrian Joyce whose death occurred at his residence at 409 West. 145th street on Thursday last, was one of the best known among the younger theatrical set here. The deceased, who was but 25 years of S FINE Furniture (Opposite Koch's) age, had been on the stage for many years, beginning with the silver screen, turning subsequently to vaudeville. He was forced to leave the cast of "4-11-44" in October of last year when stricken by illness and despite the efforts of his physician, Dr. T. F. Reid, skilled nursing and the loving care of his mother, the loving result that he was beyond all human aid. The body, which lay in state in his home, was visited by many of the theatrical profession and others came to pay their last tribute to the dead. At the Seventh Adventist Church, West 131st street, where the body was churched and committed, a most impressive sermon was delivered by Elder J. K. Humphries. The mortal remains now rest in Woodlawn Cemetery. The deceased leaves a mother, fate and many other relatives and a large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn their irreparable loss.

"my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Sold by all druggists. Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT Purely Vegetable SURGEON DENTIST 1120 MADISON AVL. Cor.

WHO'S WHO IN COLORED AMERICA Mail Your Check or Money Order for $10 and the Volume Will Be Sent to You at Our Expense MAGAZINE SECTION The Case of the Negro Since the World War THE world thinkers are now looking backward over the past ten years to determine what, if any, benefit the World War has brought to mankind. The New York World recently contained a symposium of American and European publicists. There is no consensus of opinion. No single authority is able to point out in a convincing way the undisputed advantage, such as that which flowed from the French Revolution, the Revolutionary War or the Civil War. Of one thing all must be convinced, and that is, if the statesmen of the world could have foreseen ten years ago the conditions which they now observe, they never would have precipitated this titantic struggle. Mr. Wilson's "fourteen points" have become the tetradecalogue of ridicule. His high-sounding and sonorous phrases have become the object of sport and jest. His League of Peace has become a piece of a league. The world has been upset, and no one can say how it will resettle. It may be that we miss the advantage of perspective. We may be too close to the events to give them their proper placement and interpretation. When we confine our attention to the American Negro, however, we have a much easier and simpler task. The Negro as a group had no immediate concern in the World War. The quarrels between the Germans and the Russians, French and TEN YEARS AFTER By KELLY MILLER Englishmen were no concern of his. The destruction of autocracy in Germany had absolutely no meaning to the Negroes in Georgia. The Negro follows the flag wherever it leads. His not to reason why; his but to do and die. He responded to his country's call. Whether by voluntary enlistment or proscription, THE NEW YORK TIMES DEAN KELLY MILLER when the general roll was called he was there. He responded to the call of Woodrow Wilson for hundred thousand strong. Whatever advantage or disadvantage the race derived from the war was incidental and not calculated. He was requisitioned for his man-power alone. No more account of his personal gain was considered than was accorded the Hessian hirelings during the Revolutionary War. I called on Secretary Baker, along with the first delegation, to urge a training camp for colored officers. We found him keenly sympathetic, though hedged in by the traditional Leather Binding, Richly Embossed, With Letters LAID IN GOLD prejudice of the army and the proscriptive policy of the Democratic Party. We had high hopes that the Negro would wrest from the prejudiced army officials recognition as an officer in the Federal army, by tested fitness and acknowledged capacity to lead his own race according to the requirements of war. Thanks to Secretary Baker, the camp at Des Moines was established. There was every reason to believe that the Negro was to be given a squarer, if not a square, deal. I visited the camp and addressed the cadets when their hopes ran highest. Negro officers were shortly to be commissioned within a prescribed rank in the army. But in the meantime Houston riots had happened. There was a sudden change in public sentiment and a sudden shift in the program of commissions to be awarded. The time of training was prolonged. The race was sorely disappointed. Houston sounded the death knell of the Negro's hope for effectively functioning in the army above the level of a private soldier. The word, "I am convinced, was passed down from on high: "So far shalt thou go and no further." The few Negroes who received commissions as officers were so handicapped and embarrassed that effective functioning was impossible. The race came out with a lower level of esteem as a qualified officer than he entered. The effect has been far-reaching. Negro leadership in Negro affairs has been greatly discredited throughout the whole circle of racial life and activity. The World War created a vacuum in the labor market of the North. Southern Negroes pushed in to fill the vacancy. This has shifted from one to two million people from agricultural to industrial and economic life. Herein lies the chief indirect benefit which the race has derived from the war. The magnitude of this advantage is hard to calculate. It may be more profit- THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1927 "Brought Concrete Advantages but Failed to Touch His Spirit" table to consider some of the incidental situations which follow in the train of this Northern movement. By far the most conspicuous of these is residential segregation. In all of our cities, North or South, where the Negroes came in great numbers they soon sound themselves in separate residential areas. The attempt to establish legal boundaries and the effort on the part of the race to combat them is a part of the process. As the general outcome, the Negroes find themselves in possession of homes whose quality, convenience and appointments surpass their fondest dreams of two decades ago. In most cities the Negroes are better housed than any other minor group of the American people. In the capital of the nation they have overrun a territory of fully a square mile, with as good residential facilities as the city affords. Indeed, many of the principal streets and avenues leading to the public buildings and business sections of the city traverse the Negro section for as much as a running mile. In New York they have the better favored residential section. In Chicago certain of the acquire houses and avenues are simply amazing in their magnificence. There has been material improvement in the condition of the race in the South, due to the Northern migration, which in turn is due to the war. In every important community interracial committees have been organized devoted to the task of ameliorating the condition of the Negro. The race has gained tremendous potential political power by virtue of the shift of population: In every great Northern city the Negro holds the balance of power in closely contested elections. The city of Chicago has just elected a mayor who was largely sponsored by Negro voters. The race is gaining power in city boards of aldermen, in state legislatures, and also some effective voice in guiding the action of national legislators. We might also attribute the new Negro newspaper to the outcome of the war. Prior to that time Negro journalism was but a feeble thermometer of the sentiment and feelings of the race. Their mechanical make-up was miserable, only to be surpassed in wretchedness by their literary features and in artisticality. Even race loving Negroes felt ashamed to be seen reading a Negro journal in the street cars or in public. This was generally characteristic of the colored press, barring several well-known exceptions. But now the exception has become the rule. Nearly every large center has a Negro paper which in mechanical make-up, literary form and artistic features ranks not unfavorably with white journalism. The Negro is beginning to pay serious attention to his own press, which after all is the most effective voice of the people. Strange to say, the war has not made the Negro more progressive and assertive of his rights, as has been the case with all other suppressed races and classes in all parts of the world. Our militant organizations are, if anything, less radical than their ante-bellum prototypes. The N. A. A. C. P., while more efficient in method, is perhaps milder in spirit than the Afro-American League which preceded it. The Y. M. C. A. has not accented its militancy for racial rights. The Urban League is pursuing the wonted tenor of its way. Negro churches are certainly not more assertive, and in some ways seem more susceptible to the soothing balm of white overlordship than they were ten years ago. The radical magazines which sprung up like mushrooms just before the war have, all but one, passed out of existence. The Crisis has become militant, but not radical. The Messenger alone holds the edge of radicalism. The Negro politicians are as conservative as Taft and Coolidge. Dr. Locke has tried to convince us that the new Negro has arrived, but when we look for him we find he is mainly grinding out erotic literary output under sponsorship of the Jew. He The War Makers IT IS interesting to note how our naval officers and daily papers are trying to set us in a rage against the Chinese — especially against the progressive and intelligent element in China, which is represented by the Cantonese forces. These war-makers know that the average reader does not think and analyze, but "swallows whole" whatever "the papers say." Therefore they keep harping on certain cunning phrases, such as "Chinese atrocities" and "Chinese outrages," although an analyzing mind can see clearly that the greatest outrages being enacted in China, so far, are those being done by British and American guns, and that the remarkably self-controlled Chinese are being gradually and systematically bear - baited and enraged by our naval commanders, so that the yellow people will attack the white people, and thus create a pretext for a general war on China and for possible crushing back does not yet display either the intellectual or volitional vigor to transform racial conditions or to bring new things to pass. The best proof of the Negro's essentially conservative nature is seen in the fact that he hardly seems aware of the current of movement that is sweeping through the world. The war has brought the race certain, concrete advantages of incalculable value, but it has not touched his spirit or aroused his imagination. SPECIAL ARTICLES S of the "racial equality" aspirations of the Cantonese leaders. If such a white and yellow war is forced upon a sleeping world the United States will have been duped into acting as the tool of the British. The British dragged us into that World War on a plea for an Anglo-Saxon victory; they may drag us into a color war on the plea for a white victory. Great Britain is now financially too much embarrassed for her leaders to want to start a big war all by themselves. But they know that America has the money, and if they invigle us in, so that we can pay the heaviest bills and costs, they will feel safer in starting an Asiatic war. If the Cantonese succeed and place China on the international plane of Japan, England sees the end of British domination in Asia. It would hardly be a generation before they would have to withdraw from even India. They can delay (they cannot ultimately prevent) this exit, if they can get somebody to bear the costs. One-who reads the papers dis- criminately about these "Chinese outrages" can see how the headlines are contradicted by the details of the reports: "One American is killed" by a mob, and there are "reports of at least two attempts at criminal assault on American women." To the unprejudiced mind these details indicate the superiority of control in Chinese men. For whenever did white soldiers or a white mob break in on a people whom they did not like and "kill one" and only "attempt" to assault two of the women? Can you imagine a Mississippi mob being so mildly savage when it breaks into the Negro section of a town—even the Negro is a native citizen and not a "foreign devil"? If there come such a war, it looks pretty clear that some big white nations will be on the side of Asia, and some other strongly in sympathy with the Asiatics. Will our American people allow either British interests or Standard Oil to lead them like sheep into the worst horror of all these horrible ages—A COLOR WAR? NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 11. "A man with a slovenly mind is as dangerous to a community as a man with typhoid fever or smallpox." declared President Jones of Fisk University in an address to the students and faculty of Tennessee State College. Sunday evening, April 3, at the beginning of the institution's Health Week. Dr. Jones emphasized the importance of idealism and urged that college youths be genuine entities in society, and not illusions of disappointment. "Be pumps of clear, clean, sparkling water." Of all the requisites for success in life, dependability is the most outstanding, declared the speaker. The world is looking for men who do the right things instinctively.

Already numerous into the N.A.A.C.P. offices again- ning to Mr. Williams. He then complaints who were present a tories to the audience. Mr. C. Howard Carter told of how he had been sold a ticket to the first boxing event, but was refused admission there and was directed to the gallery. Mr. Carter would not witness the performance under those conditions, so he left and complained to the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. E.B. Williams said that he had not only been denied admission, but also been forcibly forced from the theatre by employees and later assaulted by them and placed under arrest in to be held off any charges that might be against them. Mr. Sander M. Douglas, a brilliant attorney and Chairman of the Legal Redress Committee of the Brooklyn branch, addressed the meeting on the application of the New York Civil Rights Law to the Court. Mr. Douglas has represented the N.A.A.C.P. in these cases with marked success. In 1921, he brought suit against the Belford Theatre, then owned by Frank Kemeny, and forced the powerful sum of Cullen and Dykman attorneys to a settlement until the sum the plaintiff exerted to recover. In this class, deliberate way, attorney Thomas absorbed the attention of the audience by pointing on a variety of instances in which plaintiffs were denied recovery under the law, and explained why their right to legal redress was imperfect. Among other things he said, "The Civil Rights law is strictly interpreted to mean what it says, by the courts, and no more. A theatre owner cannot hold responsible for discriminatory acts on the part of his client taker and other servants unless you can prove that such servant was authorized to do so by the theatre owner." Again, a person tail enough in complexion to be mistaken for white would have some difficulty in convincing a court or jury that he or she was discriminated against on account of race or color. But it would seem that the most effective way of combating such prejudice, he said, would be to call an officer and place under arrest all persons participating in the discrimination. Theatres would then soon find it most costly and inconvenient to continue such practice. Mr. Walter White, national secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., delivered the principal address. He was full of his usual enthusiasm in urging the people of Brooklyn to awaken to their task of joining local organizations in the work of the local organization which in turn is working along with over three hundred similar branches throughout the country to the end that justice and fair opportunities may be secured for colored people everywhere. He spoke of the rapid growth and increasing power of the N. A. A. T. P. and pointed out many of its most outstanding achievements during the past year, including the securing of the acquittal of Dr. Sheet and his comrades in Detroit; the reporting of the Lowman cases in a way that called the attention of the entire civilized world to this brutal group murder; and the fight against the enactment of laws against racial intermarriage, and combating residential segregation. Mr. White endorsed Mr. Douglas in suggesting having wholesale arrests made as an effective means of checking theater segregation, and urged that all persons who meet with such indignities keep their counsels and light for their legal rights, he explained that the Legal House found could be used to combat one of those cases where the result would establish precedent and where injustice and misdeed had been done to the many laymen.

While Yarri was holding the door shut against the other man, it is alleged he was struck over the head with a pool cue by someone in the room. Police say they have witnesses who state that the pool cue was wielded by Grant, who made his escape after the attack. Yarri died the following day in the Flushing Hospital.

Member of Board of Directors Said Money Contributed for the Work by a Colored Resident Was Not Accepted Alleged exclusion of colored youths from membership in the Flushing Branch of the Brooklyn and Queens Young Men's Christian Association is sharply criticised by Eugene Kinckle Jones, colored social worker, of 96 Twenty-second street. Flushing, in a letter last Thursday to The Flushing Evening Journal. The letter follows: The letter follows: To the Editor, The Flushing Journal. I wish to bring to your attention, and through you to the attention of the Flushing public, facts in connection with the membership in the Flushing Young Men's Christian Association which broad minded persons in Flushing are entitled to know. A year ago—at the opening of the Young Men's Christian Association at Broadway and Bowne avenue—several well-behaved, respectable and intelligent colored lads applied for admission. They were refused membership until such time as the Board of Directors could pass on their eligibility, although this delay was not experienced by white boys. The parents of two of these boys appealed to the executive secretary, Mr. Rhinehart, who referred the matter directly to the board, which in turn referred it for investigation to the Membership Committee. This committee made the investigation and reported the matter for final decision to the Board of Managers. I, personally, consulted the executive secretary and appeared before the Membership Committee, interceding in behalf of these colored boys. I was told several times to give the committee and the Board of Managers a short while in which to consider the question and was led to believe that colored boys would be admitted Although it has been more than a year now since our first conference, no colored boy has been admitted to membership on his application and the Young Men's Christian Association has therefore set a precedent in Flushing which is most undemoralistic, unchristian and discouraging. The colored population of Flushing is very small—800 at the most—and the eligible boys would therefore be small. Colored children have always received the very fairest treatment in the high school, which is just across the street from the Young Men's Christian Association. They are members of many Sunday schools and Boy Scout and other organizations in our country. It was left to this Christian association, approaching the problems of young men and boys in the spirit of Christ, to banish His idols in the handling of this institution Of course, I know from statements made to me while discussing the question with the officials of the Young Men's Christian Association that there is a limit to the membership of Jews and Catholics, but I hardly believed that those in charge of this organization to which Negroes, Catholics and Jews, as well as Protestants have contributed, would place insurmountable harriers to the membership of all colored boys, regardless of their character and their worth. I know that there are persons in Flushing who question the practicability of handling large numbers of colored boys along with white boys in this organization, but there are at least a half dozen Young Men's Christian Association organizations in communities within a short distance of Flushing which have had no difficulty in handling such situations judiciously and with justice to the colored boys. On the other hand, there must be some persons, supporters of the Young Men's Christian Association with their funds and with their encouragement, who would wish to know the facts as outlined above. I am taking this means of giving them a chance to voice their righteous indignation at this efrontery to the spirit of democracy in our community. Sincerely yours, EUGENE KINOKLE JONES. P. S. It might be interesting to add that one of the boys who could not become a Y. M. C.

A: under the supervision of the "Y." an organization of Christ, when he is a welcome and esteemed associate in the life of the public schools maintained under civil authority. Mr. Ward Denies Colored Folks' Contribution Accepted. Charles S. Ward, member of the Board of Directors of the Flushing Branch, denied that colored residents of Flushing were large contributors in the Y. M. C. A. project. Mr. Ward stated that one contribution found to have been made by a Negro was returned to the donor. He said it was necessary to discriminate racially in the membership for the social welfare of the organization. John W. Crawford, chairman of the Board of Directors, could not be reached this morning. When questioned as to identity of the half dozen (Y. M. C. A.) organizations in communities within a short distance of Flushing which received members of both Negro and Caucasian races, Mr. Jones gave the following: Ridgewood, N. J.; White Plains, N. Y.; Albany, N. Y.; Summit, N. J.; Morristown, N. J., and New London, Conn. These associations have experienced no difficulty in enrolling and retaining the membership of both Negro and white members, according to Mr. Jones. He branded as untrue the statement of Mr. Ward that Negroes had not lent considerable financial aid to the Flushing Branch. J. C. Armstrong, general secretary of the Brooklyn-Queens Y. M. C. A., told the Journal that there were but few cases the nation over in which Y. M. C. A.'s did not discriminate racially. He added, however, that there are many colored branches of the organization throughout the nation. These, he explained, are not conducted in connection with the white branches, but are separate divisions. Mr. E. K. Jones has lived in Flushing for sixteen years. He was born in Richmond, Va., in 1885; was graduated with honors from Weyland Academy, Richland, in 1902; received A. B. degree at Virginia, Union University in 1906; received LL. D., Virginia Union, 1924; received A. M., Cornell University, in 1908 He was formerly a member of the faculty of Central High School, Louisville, Ky., and since 1911 has been secretary of the National Urban League, social welfare society, with offices, at 127 East Twenty-third street, Manhattan.

Dr. Peyton Says White Group of Association Favorably Impressed With the organizing of a branch of the Y. W. C. A. well known citizens of Jamaica, L. L. are planning a Y. M. C. A. for the South Side. This effort was started about a month ago through the good work of Andrew W. Childs at the home of Dr. T. Roy Peyton, 1640-70 South street, with the result that on April 4 a group comprised of Edward F. Delmortie, Andrew W. Childs, George C. Smith, Charles Shaw, Jr., Mr. Lloyd, Doctors Preston, Reid and Peyton, and Messrs. Hamlin, race organizer of the National Branch and North (white) of the Central-Branch, Brooklyn, met with a committee of the local white branch, 163d street, to talk over the need of such an institution. According to Dr. Peyton, who was made chairman of the group that interviewed the white branch committee, they seemed favorably impressed with the idea, and arranged a further meeting at the branch for April 20, at which time the suggestion was offered that a large number of interested citizens be present. There is an immediate need for such an institution in Queens County for our boys. Jamaica is centrally located, and that would be the proper place for location. It is hoped that Jamaica folk interested in welfare and community work will rally around the men who have made the initial start in this worthy cause.

Vosburgh, of the newly completed $3,000,000 Jamaica High School, located at 165th street and Hillcrest avenue, is of the opinion that an additional high school will be necessary before long on the South Side to take care of that section. Already the new school is taking care of more than 600 pupils than previously attended a total of about 3,000. Thirty years ago the school had a roster of about seventy-five. Mr. Vosburgh believes the new institution can take care of 5,000 without causing part time. When the next term opens in September, according to Mr. Vosburgh, 500 or 600 more boys and girls will be added to the student body. Classes now start at 8:40 and end at 2 o'clock. Next term some of the pupils will start later and at 2 o'clock. But at the next Queens is building a more high school on the South Side of town will soon be a necessity, is the belief of the head of Jamaica High School.

Robinson of Madison was recently forced to withdraw his petition for election to the Madison School Board because of the threats of certain members of the white race. At the last election two places on the School Board were to be filled, the members to be elected for a term of three years. One week prior to the election only one candidate had filed a petition for the election, a member of the Board whose term was expiring, but who wished to serve another term. This notice was given in the local newspaper. Dr. Aubrey E. Robinson, local veterinarian, realizing the opportunity it would give the Negro race to have a member on the School Board, announced his candidacy for the School Board. A petition, with the proper number of signatures of voters of the community, was filed. The knowledge of his act created a disturbance among the members of the existing School Board and principals of the local schools. The president and members of the School Board immediately canvassed the various signers of the petition and urged them to withdraw their names from the petition or use their influence to get the candidate to withdraw the petition. After several attempts to meet Dr. Robinson at his home, they finally succeeded in locating him, Friday evening before the election, at the home of James Lassiter, a painter and decorator. A meeting was being held then to discuss plans for the election. The members of the School Board interrupted the meeting. Dr. Robinson was asked to withdraw. After much debating and discussion, in which the president of the Board took a prominent part. Dr. Robinson and his co-workers were told that, if his name was not withdrawn, the white people would make Dr. Robinson, the signers of the petition, and the Negro people of the community suffer. It was further stated that Madison was a white man's town and the school was a white man's school and white men were going to run them. It is believed that a member of the Negro populace informed the School Board of the meeting at Mr. Lassiter's. Dr. Robinson has been a resident of Madison for six years. He is a native of Harrisburg, Pa., where he received his early schooling. After being graduated from the Harrisburg High School, in 1914, he spent two years at the University of Pennsylvania. He entered Cornell and was graduated in the class of 1920. For three years Dr. Robinson was a member of Cornell's world's champion track team. He also played football. During the past few years he has been assistant track coach at the Madison High School. He has officiated at a number of football games in the community. He came to Madison in 1921 and since that time has established a large practice, not only in Madison but throughout the surrounding community. Last year Dr. Robinson built a colonial-type home and a small animal hospital here. Orange Attorney Edward L. Davis assumed the duties of Judge of the Orange Police Court on Friday morning.

A letter written by Mrs. Ellen Wilson, Irving, Ill., has a real message for asthma and bronchitis sufferers. Mrs. Wilson writes: "I first contracted asthma 26 years ago. For the past 15 years I have had chronic asthma, and a very bad cold on a week. I have had medicine, obtaining a little temporary relief, but no real improvement. I coughed so hard I became very weak, and had severe pains. In November, 1824, began taking Nacor, and in less than a week I was much improved. By February my cough and asthma were entirely gone. Now (March 18, 1825.) I do not need any medicine, and have no asthma at all. I am now able to speak of all winter, and weigh more than I have for the last five years."

John Michel of Egg Harbor left his home recently after saving a child from a mine in number, for the first time since his marriage. Half an hour after he was found dead of heart disease, the office of a local physician A Scout Office. The Negro Scouts of Harlem will soon have their own Boy Scout office, which will be in charge of George Goodman, who lives at the 153th Street Y. M. C. A. The office will be opened by June 15. Mr. Goodman was appointed by Captain James Beard of Manhattan Council to get more Negro Scout troops and to make the present troops 100 per cent. Harlem has now 500 Scouts and ten troops. The group to build up these troops will be organized by the time the office is opened. Scout School. The West School of Troop 736 is increasing rapidly, each Friday evening. This school will have the Scouts who attend it qualified for first and second class tests for Monday, May 9. Scoutmaster Perry and James Fadericks, junior assistants and Merit Badges. Troop 774 has now twenty-two first class Scouts. The Scouts who passed their first class recently are: Scouts Mayers, Mountier, Vergil, Hunt, Toppin, Dudley, Winde, Scoutmaster, The Scouts who passed second class are: Scouts Illes, Gray and Raymond Forbish. Scout John Finney of that troop has sixteen merit badges and William Davis has ten. Scout Thomas Dickerson has eight. This troop also has ten merit badge Scouts. Perrir Marshall is the Scoutmaster, Interior Contest, Perrir Marshall was held at the Seventh Regiment Armory at 8.15. The five boroughs—Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Richmond and Queens—took part in the scoutcraft contest. Manhattan, Richmond tied in the inner and spindle fire-making contest, but the contest was repeated and Manhattan won. As the gun was fired for the starting, a Scout representing Manhattan struck a spark into the inner, a spark into the inner, and the Bronx won the contest for knot tying; Queens, for signaling of the semaphore. The bugling contest was very close between Manhattan and Queens. First aid contests were won by Queens. The Patrol System. Probably your Scoutmaster has explained to you why we are having better troops through the patrol system of scouting. The Scoutmaster, the patrol leader and his assistants, took care of very hardy co-workers of four patrols. eight Scouts to a patrol. First, let me answer a question that you have often asked yourself: "Why do they have patrols, anyway? The most important is that you must have a Scout at the head of your patrol is a pleasure to you. Every Scout looks forward to his patrol leader and his assistant for patrol hikes when your Scoutmaster announces that the evening the patrol will be assigned to singing and will contest between the patrols of your troop. Well, every Scout in the patrol looks to the patrol leader to select and teach him a song and select a good Scout game to be practiced for the contest of the following week. But the same way with a baseball and football team. Well, I tell you what kind of a captain or coach one would have if he was not good at the game himself. The same holds true with patrols and patrol leaders. CORRECTION: It is Scout Kennard Legare of Troop 774 who is the first Negro scout in Manhattan to receive a merit badge for signaling and not Scout Legair of Troop 786, as stated in last week's paper.

LENT — Holy Week — Good Friday Easter. Four highly connotated words. TO THE VERY YOUNG, this is the time to receive a chocolate bunny basket of beautifully dyed eggs and egg hunts. FOR THE OLDER YOUNTH, Easter is newhat of a second Christmas — due to buy a new outfit; to promenade the avenue; to attend many teas and animal dances; to give vent to the ideas that come with the arrival of spring.

ASIDE from the showy part of this season, there remains the fact that Easter is in itself a victory celebration —yes, "victory over death." It is, too, a festival that commemorates the resurrection of the hopes of mankind. SO — to the world we extend hearty EASTER GREETINGS!—T. E. B. Misuse of Veto Power FOR THE THIRD consecutive time Governor Smith has vetoed bills desirie, primarily, to relieve congestion in the Seventh Municipal Court district which had passed both houses of state Legislature, ostensibly for other reason than that a redistricting the territory involved might be possible the election of a justice by does. This fact, however, does enter into the Governor's reasons stated in his veto message. Instead, news: FOR THE THIRD consecutive time Governor Smith has vetoed bills designed, primarily, to relieve congestion in the Seventh Municipal Court district, which had passed both houses of the State Legislature, ostensibly for no other reason than that a redistricting of the territory involved might make possible the election of a justice by Negroes. This fact, however, does not enter into the Governor's reasons as stated in his veto message. Instead, he says: The bill is objectionable upon the ground that it is mandatory city legislation, compelling the City of New York in opposition to the wishes of the local authorities to set up a new Municipal Court district. That is an expense which the local authorities state is not warranted. IN REPLY to the above statement, Assemblyman Grenthal, who introduced the last bill, pointed out that the Seventh district is the most populous of the nine Municipal Court districts in the city, and the ruling of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court that the courts are "a branch of the judicial system of the State of New York, and have nothing to do with the property, affairs or government of the city." More than this, he pointed out that the Governor, who believes so IN REPLY to the above statement, assemblyman Grenthal, who introduce the last bill, pointed out that the South district is the most populous of the nine Municipal Court districts in city, and the ruling of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court that courts are "a branch of the judiciary system of the State of New York, give nothing to do with the prerty, affairs or government of city." More than this, he pointed EDITORIAL PAGE strongly in vetoing mandatory legislation, where it might possibly benefit Negro citizens of the city, did not have any scruples about signing bills for increases in salaries — amounting to $25,000 — for Tammany Hall officeholders holding jobs in the city. NOT ONLY does the repeated vetoing of the bill show an inherent disrespect for the deplorable congestion in a court district where the majority of Negro citizens live; in addition, it shows an utter disregard of the will of the people of the State as expressed through State senators and representatives. We do not say that a Negro would be elected to the new judgeship if he had signed the bill. Much as we would like to see such a thing done, it is beside the question, and should not have influenced the Governor in withholding his signature. Yet, this is the man who has the Presidential bee in his bonnet; this is the man who vociferously claims to stand for square dealing for all the citizens of the State, regardless of creed or color, but whose actions, where the Negro is concerned, give the lie to his words. The Chicago Election The Chicago Election LESS THAN FIFTY THOUSAND Negro voters, by casting their ballots as a unit, have just succeeded in putting over their candidate for mayor in an election in which nearly a million votes were cast as good an example of the wisdom of standing together as the Negro race has had in many a day. And this, in spite of the fact that William Hale Thompson, who had already served two terms as mayor, defeated William E. Dever, Democratic incumbent, by almost twice as many votes as the Negro citizens cast for Thompson. MAYOR DEVER'S campaign managers are responsible for the introduction of the race question in the campaign. In campaign literature they asked the white voters if they wanted Negro teachers to instruct their children: if they wanted to see 100,000 more Negroes come from the South to Chicago; if they wanted Negroes to hold city positions, and if they wanted to see Negroes elected to office. NOW, as a matter of fact, Chicago white people are probably no better or worse than the common run of white people to be found in any Northern city. This means that the masses of them preferred not to see the things Mayor Dever's campaigners asked them. But ex-Mayor Thompson and his managers knew that in the last election Negroes voted almost as a unit for Dever and were largely responsible for his election. They knew, too, that they would again vote for Dever if there was the slightest possibility of their being double-crossed before or after the election by Thompson. Thompson needed the support of the Negro voters to win. He proved to them that he wanted their support — and won. NEGROES of Chicago had more at stake in the election than Thompson and theirs is the greater victory. Their victory, though, might not have been possible if their votes had been evenly divided between the candidates; if they had not seen the issues clearly; if they had not profited by their experience in helping to elect a Democratic mayor; if they had not refused to listen to the Judases amongst them who urged them to support Dever; in short, if the majority of them had not decided to go down in defeat with Thompson, if such would be the result, in preference to Marked Increase in Lynching Marked Increase in Lynching WASHINGTON. April 11.—Marked increase in mob murders during the last year was a great shock to the churches in their campaign for a lynchness land, according to a statement accompanying the Honor Roll of States free from lynching in 1926, recently made public. This is the fifth annual Honor Holl issued by the Commission on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches. "Additional States that have no record of a lynching since 1886: Connecticut, Maine and New Jersey ..... 3 "Additional States which have no record of a lynching during the past twenty years: Delaware, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada ..... 4 "Additional States which have no record of a lynching during the past fifteen years: Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, South Dakota ..... 5 "COMMUNITY SERVICE" "SLOGAN OF YOUNG POST" In accordance with the objective set by the last National Convention of the American Legion, the Col. Charles Young Post No. 238 will center all its activities toward the betterment of the community. Heretofore the problem of the veteran has occupied what little time the post has been able to give, but with the advent of the new sophistication of the hope he be able to devote a major portion of the year to community develo- ment. Major Grimly Major Grimly MAJOR GRIMLY'S promotion to tenant-Colonel of the 369th New National Guard Regiment is pre the most unfortunate occurrence MAJOR GRIMLY'S promotion to Lieutenant-Colonel of the 369th New York National Guard Regiment is probably the most unfortunate occurrence since Col. William A. Taylor was placed in command of it. Unfortunate, because exactly one year ago the then Major Grimly, of the Medical Detachment of the regiment, was denounced because of his alleged race prejudice; unfortunate, because he has never seen fit to affirm or deny the charges then made against him; unfortunate, because at that time it was believed that he was being groomed for the colonelcy of the regiment, which belief comes pretty nearly being verified by his recent appointment to the post second only to that of colonel. COLONEL TAYLOR had, up to the present time, made considerable headway toward rebuilding the regiment, following the demoralized depth to which it sank under the command of Col. Arthur Little. Major Grimly's promotion is a slap in the face, not only of the Negro officers of the regiment and of the enlisted pensonnel, but of the community the regiment is supposed to serve and from which it draws the men which makes it possible. The new Lieutenant-Colonel may have qualified himself from a military standpoint for his new commission, but doubt and suspicion of the motives animating those responsible for his selection are compelled to be raised. No longer may Col. Taylor be looked upon as the fair-minded leader we believed him to be, and no longer does there seem to be the slightest doubt but that the 369th Regiment is to continue to be the stepping stone of ambitious white men who are willing to trample the aspirations of Negroes under foot to satisfy their selfish desires for place and power. A FEW MORE such promotions and The total number of States free of lynching in 1926 was 38, which was the same total as in 1925 and 1924 and one fewer than the total number without any lynchings in 1923. The number of States in which lynchings still occurred in 1926 was 10, the same number as in 1925 and in 1924; the number having lynchings in 1923 was 9." The list showing the States free from lynching in 1926, in classified groups over periods of years, is as follows: "States that have NEVER had a lynching: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. 4 'Additional States which have no record of a lynching during the past ten years: New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania 'Additional States which have no record of a lynching during the past five years: Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming 'Additional States which have no record of a lynching in the past two years: Oklahoma and Illinois 'Additional States which have no record of a lynching during 1926: Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Utah 'Total States free of lynching in 1926 'Total States still having lynching in 1926 'Total number of lynchings in 1926 the uniform of the 369th Infantry whether worn by a Negro officer or an enlisted man, will be a disgrace to the man wearing it.

Washington, distinguished educator and founder of Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, was observed generally in the colleges and schools last Thursday. The Drama "Bring Dat College Home" Presented "Bring Dat College Home," a play in four acts, written by George W. Hodges, was presented by the Atlanta University Club, at the Little Negro Theatre, 103 West 135th street, last Friday evening. The play deals with an interesting situation, types of the customs in the rural district, which shows the opposition, encountered when one seeks an education. The plot deals, with a mother who wants to send her son to college, but is persuaded not to do so by people—the other people of the community. There are nine characters in the play, which are as follows: George W. Hodges, as the circuit minister; Bobby Lipspey, as Mother Davis; J. E. Holt, as Prof. Hollis, college president; M. B. Riley, as Fred Howell, a friend of Reggie; Margie Jordan, lawyer and Jeggie; J. L. Hicks, as Bill Sawyer and Josh Butler, two farmers, and Mae Guerrant, as Sister Smith. C. G.

WILLIAM M. KELLEY. V. KENNETH DUNCAN. (My commission expires March 5, 1928.) By E. Elliott Rawlins, M.D. Signs and Symptoms of E THE first organized attempt to start twenty-seven years ago measures in this fight was an diagnosis. Detection of this disease victory in its cure. The early symptoms of tuberculosis, and are borne by many until some more pronounced symptoms. Then it is too late to expect a cure comfort or symptoms should warrant. Our Eyes DR. R. J. FOSTER OPTOMETHIST THE first organized attempt to fight tuberculosis was started twenty-seven years ago. One of the main measures in this fight was and is to make an early diagnosis. Detection of this disease at its incipiency means victory in its cure. The early symptoms of tuberculosis are vague and not intense, and are borne by many people over a long time until some more pronounced symptom presents itself. Then it is too late to expect a cure. Repeated slight discomfort or symptoms should warrant medical examination. "Why Try to Be Blind?" Once upon a time there was a city with a street running along a cliff. In dark and stormy weather so many people were injured by falling over the edge that the citizens gathered themselves together to see what they could do about it. They decided to use their resources to build a hospital at the foot of the cliff so that the injured might receive immediate attention. Now it chanced that a wise man visited their land and the inhabitants showed him the hospital with great pride; but he, looking at the cliff, said: "Wouldn't it have been cheaper in lives and money to build a wall of protection along the cliff?" Your eyes are your breadwinners. Be careful with them. One of the most common forms of unnecessary defective vision and blindness is due to accidents and neglect of prompt and proper treatment of the eyes. It is a common occurrence when one gets something in his eye—a cinder, insect, sand, etc., to have a fellow worker take a match stick or a soiled handkerchief to dig it out. Even a grimy hand is often used. Do you care to expose your eyes to the microbes that infest a dirty, handkerchief, a grimy hand or a match stick? Don't try to remove a foreign body from your eye yourself and under no circumstance allow well-meaning friends or bystanders to fool with your eyes. Your eyes are a most valuable asset in life; you need them in your business. Handle them as you would a valuable watch. If repairs were needed you wouldn't take it to a blacksmith; you would take it to an expert. Your eyes are worth infinitely more than the most valuable watch that was ever made. Why allow inexperienced persons to fool with them and probably cause a loss of your sight? No one to this day has been able to see with a glass eye. Avoid using common towels. Infection is frequently transmitted by them. Avoid patient nostrums. Consult a competent specialist. Then, too, accidents occur most frequently to children as a result of the careless use of pointed scissors, forks, toy pistols, air rifles, bow and arrows, etc. The simplest means of preventing such accidents is in saving less harmful utensils and playthings to children. Give these future citizens all the protection possible. They will think it worthwhile in later years. Care for your most precious possession—your eyesight.

Quite often these early laboratory signs are absent, and yet a tubercular inflammation is present in the lungs. A recent study of a group of people having tuberculosis was made. The more important and well-known signs were absent in many of this group. Only 69 per cent gave a history of persistent cough; 50 per cent noticed expectoration; hemoptysis or spitting up of blood was noticed in 21 per cent o this group; on listening to the chest in 33 per cent of the cases, and a positive tubercular finding on X-ray examination in 51 per cent. Many indeed are the people who show very vague complaints in early tuberculosis. Some complain of undue chilliness with the slightest change in the temperature. These people have to wear excessive clothing, knowing they become chilled so easily. Early tuberculosis manifests itself frequently in unnecessary nervousness. These people are introspective and can be easily frightened and friends will see they have neurasthenia. They have vague aches and pains all over the body, especially over the chest and shoulder regions. Early tuberculosis is noticed very often indeed by digestive disturbances. These people complain of loss of appetite, beelching, overfulness in pit of chest and constipation. Together with these symptoms they complain of frequent colds. Before they are completely better with one cold, a new cold acutely manifests itself. Fatigue is a frequent symptom of early tuberculosis. They are even tired arising in the morning. Sleep does not refresh them. These people have frequent attacks of hoarseness and with the frequent attacks of "cold" they notice sharp pleuritic pains in side and back of chest. In the early stages of tuberculosis, symptoms occur which many of constitutional diseases produce; but with a careful history of frequent complaints, such as I have outlined above, and constant examinations by a careful physician, early tuberculosis can be suspected and the proper treatment advised. Many cases of early tuberculosis have been diagnosed as "neurasthenia"; others as chronic dyspepsia or "gastric, upset." and many others as nothing more than "general debility" requiring a tonic. Among Negroes as a group this is quite often the case. The doctor sees the tubercular patient when a hope or a cure is past, and the acquaintance of an undertaker is imperative. pin Music School will be the principal features. T. A.
