I are out of work, and life is no pleasure to me. My name is W. A. H.** On the strength of this note, issued in the offices of William A. Hickey, a roomer at 191 First 19th street, who is now missing since April, the police are seeking light on his disappearance. On the day that Hickey left his room, he told his landlord, Mrs. Elsie Frank, to look after his belongings, and that he would return in a week's time. When the man failed to return, Mrs. Frank searched his room, and after finding the suicide note notified the Missing Persons Bureau, and Detective Waterhouse was assigned to the east Waterhouse reports that the morgues or hospitals have registered no one of Hickey's description. Hickey is reported to have been married, but is thought to have been estranged from his wife, whose name is believed to be either Dotty or Dorothy. He was a veteran in the World War and formerly lived at 778伦 Avenue, 289 Alexander avenue and 548 East 16th street, it is said. Possible relatives and friends are being sought in the Bronx by the police. Thrown from a speeding automobile in Ninth avenue, between Fifteenth and Fifty-ninth streets, early Sunday.

Washington avenue, who had notified the police that money, clothing and jewelry valued at $600 had been stolen from her home. Miss Scott had been in the employ of Mrs. Kosak for six weeks when the alleged larceny took place. Leaving her home in charge of Miss Scott about 8:30 on the night of April 5, Mrs. Kosak returned to find the property missing.

Burroughs said that he expected the delivery of the check through the mails, but never received it. Edward Harris, 49 West 135th street, a salesman at 384 Lenox avenue, said that a customer came to the store and made a purchase and gave him the check as payment, which he accepted and turned in along with the day's receipts. After discovery of the forgery the police were notified, and Harris was asked to find the man who gave him the check. Accompanied by Detective M. O'Connor of the 14th Squad, Harris went out on the street Thursday and pointed out Turner as being the man. Turner told Magistrate Silberman that he not only did not forge the check, but could not, as he could neither read or write. The magistrate gave it as his opinion that Turner had been arrested as a stranger on the public highway and that, aside from his being unable to read or write, he could find no evidence upon which to hold him. Turner was discharged. THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News 24 FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE PAGES Complete in 3 Sections VOL. XVIII. NO. 22.

SECTION ONE RELIGIOUS INFLUENCE ON RACE DEVELOPMENT DISCUSSED BY LEADERS REMAINS OF DR. CAFFEY TAKEN BACK TO ALA. FOR INTERMENT Harlem Retired Physician Died of Heart Failure Last Wednesday Before Medical Aid Could Be Given Meharry Graduate Funeral services over the remains of Dr. Frank C. Caffey, who died suddenly of heart trouble at his residence last Wednesday morning, were held there Saturday evening, with the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, officiating. Later the same day the long journey was begun with the body to Dr. Caffey's former home, Montgomery, Ma. In the party were the widow, Mrs. Dickie Terry; Frank C., Jr., and Dr. K. H. Terry. Dr. C. E. Terry, of Denver, Colo., remained to take charge of the family's affairs until it returns. Honorary pall bearers were: M. C. Brown, Mr. Kelsay, Mr. Hood, Fred R. Moore, Dr. H. Bluns Dismond, Dr. A. L. McGhee, George E. Haynes, Dr. Paul A. Collins, Dr. Gustave Henderson, Atty. J. Donglass Watmore, Atty. William Jones, Thomas Hope, William Wortham and Dr. A. N. Grant. The morning of his death Dr. Caffey got up as usual and went down stairs to look after the general affairs of his home. He returned in about an hour and, in great distress, called Mrs. Caffey to his bedroom. At the time Mrs. Tom Hope of Camden, N. J., the Misses Alice and Ruth Harris, teachers in the Washington, D. C., schools, house guests, and Frank Caffey Jr. were in the home and gave what old they could. Someone ran for a doctor, but before one could arrive the end game. Dr. Caffey, who attended Livingstone College, Sallisbury, N. C., was a graduate in medicine and pharmacy of Meharry Medical College. He practiced for years in Montgomery, Ala. About eight years ago he had his wife bring Frank Caffey Jr., their only living child, to New York City, where she began to make investments for the family. He followed two years later after retiring from practice. Dr. Caffey's investments in and around New York City are quite extensive to say nothing of investments in Montgomery, Ala. He was a Republican, and soon became captain of his district. He was a member of several secret orders. Dr. Caffey was a great athletic expert and trained and conditioned many of the stars in sports. He was medical expert for Jack Johnson's camp. Seal Rock House, Ocean Beach, near San Francisco, Cal., and Rick's Quarters, Reno, Nev.

Mixed Pair File Marriage Notice Daughter of Brockton, Mass., White Man to Have Inheritance Cut Off POSTON. April 25.—Elijah Mav Alexander, giving age 26, color white, and address as 59 Dammond street, Roxbury, last week filed marriage intentions with Ambrose Gomes Rodreques, 36. 225 Grove street, Brockton, who said he was colored and a Cape Verde Islander. According to Rodreques, the marriage cannot take place at once because of a law of their church, the Holy Christian Church of the Holy Apostolie titin, and the date will be set by Bishop Harris of Boston, whereupon there will be a suitable ceremony in Brockton. Miss Alexander is the daughter of John P. Alexander of 254 North Warren street, Brockton, who two years ago filed court action asking for an injunction against Bishop Harris and others to restrain them from inducing the girl to attend Holy Jumper services. Mr. Alexander refused to talk about his daughter's marriage, saying he had cut her off and expects to have nothing more to do with her. Here From Barbadoes to Give Lecture Series Hon. Christopher Braithwaite, M. C. P., of the Island of Barbadoes, arrived here on the S. S. Vestree on Friday, to deliver a series of lectures under the auspices of St. Ambrose Community Church, the Rev. J. Elliot Durant, pastor. A large crowd welcomed Mr. Braithwaite on his arrival at the dock, among which was a delegation from the Sons and Daughters of Barbardoes, C. E. Carter, chairman. Mr. Braithwaite is the only Negro ever elected to the Assembly of Barbadoes who came from the ranks and hundreds of Barbadians here are proud of his achievement.

SENTENCED FOR PART IN $8,000 GOWN ROBBERY IN BOSTON Prisoner, Said to Have Served Time in Sing Sing, Gets From 7 to 20 Years—Loot Recovered BOSTON. April 25.—Walter Hucles, of New York City, was sentenced to State Prison for seven to twenty years, after he pleaded guilty in Suffolk Superior Court last Monday to the theft of $8,000 in gowns from the Patten Hat and Gown Shop, 472 Boylston street, on February 1. His previous record showed that he had served time in Sing Sing. Hucles had been confined in Charles street jail ever since he was arrested and brought back by Officers Sheehan and Adair from Washington, D. C., shortly after the robbery. Charles Sampson, confederate of the sentenced man, has not been apprehended. The two men came to Boston on the night of Feb. 1, and hired a room in Roxbury, according to the story told Judge Fossdick by H. McDonnell, assistant district attorney, and James Sheehan, special officer. They took a stroll along Boyleston street and decided upon the hat and gown shop for their operations. That evening they secured two trunks from their landlady and hired George Benders, a taxi driver, to haul them to Boyleston street, where the robbery was committed. Within less than twenty-four hours after the robbery all but a few dresses of the loot were in New York and Washington, where the $8,000 in gowns and dresses were found on "fences" by policemen. A number of New York women found at the place where the goods were discovered were arrested and sentenced for their share in the crime. George Benders, driver of the car, has since pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact, but his case has not been disposed of. He is now out on ball. Hucle's address was found to be in Washington and the officers went to the capital, where he was arrested. In his room there, $8,000 in gowns were found, but none from Boston. They were later claimed by New York policemen. CHRISTIAN RELIGION CALLED HANDICAP TO NEGRO IN DEBATE V. F. Calverton, Editor of Modern Quarterly, and Professor Kelly Miller Open Series of Discussion in Community Church Does Orthodox Christianity Handicap Negro Progress? This was the subject of a debate of vital interest between V. F. Calverton, white, of the affirmative, editor of The Modern Quarterly and author of "The Newer Spirit" and "Sex Expression in Literature," and Professor Kelly Miller, of the negative, famous author, lecturer and dean of Howard University, Washington, D. C., before a representative audience at the Community Church, Thirty-fourth street and Park avenue, Sunday, at 3:30 p.m., under the auspices of the Messenger Magazine. Abraham Harris, one of the Messenger editors, inaugurated this, the beginning of a series of debates, for the purpose of bringing to public attention, through prominent speakers, the various labor, social and economic questions concerning the Negro. Charles Johnson, editor of Opportunity Magazine, was chairman of the debate. Woman Released on Promi ise to Return It Charity Berry, 771 West End avenue, was arrested on a charge of grand larceny by Detective Short of the 14th Squall, when she removed furniture which she said was her property from the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Green, 225 West 123d street. When arraigned in Heights Court Saturday morning before Magistrate Silberman, the accused woman testified that she had sold the furniture to the Greens, who were roomers at her apartment, but that they had failed to finish their payments. After repeated demands for payments, she said she decided to take her property. Magistrate Silberman ruled that the defendant, having once sold the property, could no longer claim possession, and that if money was owed her on the furniture, her recourse was in the civil court, where she may bring legal demand for payment. She was released by the Magistrate in $1,000 bail upon her promise to return the property. Green charged that along with the furniture, $55 in cash was in one of the drawers, in addition to linen, four men's shirt, two suits of clothes and a fur coat. The Berry woman denied all knowledge of the money, and pointed to the coat Mrs. Green was wearing as being the one she was accused of taking. JANITOR HELD FOR SLASHING BUG KILLER William Walker, 44, janitor at No. 31 West Tenth street, was arrested and charged with cutting Charles McEhlone, white, 101 West Ninety-ninth street, an exterminator. Case will be tried Thursday. The two men got into an argument following the white man's refusal to use the rear door of the house. 24 FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE PAGES Complete in 3 Sections After Dec. 31, 1909, at the Post for the Act of March 3, 1879. SECTION ONE CENT LEADERS Mr. Calverton, in opening the debate, emphasized that Orthodox Christianity is, and always has been, reactionary to the progress of science and the Negro Christianity, he said, was the pillar of slavery, and religion has failed utterly to put love into, or change, the hearts of men; and that only by changing and improving the economic and social condition of man can his heart be changed or love be put into it. Christianity, never accepted by the upper classes, was created for the purpose of offering a way of escape of the masses from social and economic oppression, Mr. Calverton said, and it was thus that civilization was placed under the dictatorship of the pagan. "The position of the Negro," said Mr. Calverton, "is, of all people, the most grotesque, tragic and bili- tious. Nothing is more humorous than seeing black men worshipping a white man's God in a black man's church!" Negro slaves accepted the religion given by their masters, the speaker reminded he hearers, and they were told, in effect, "You'll get your pie in the sky." Never mind getting a little more faith in Jesus, but get set Having no scientific acceptance, it is very doubtful that Jesus ever existed, the speaker said, and declared the story of the Garden of Eden to be an allegory. The Holy Bible was described as being an unauthentic and unscientific body of contradictions, both ludicrous and absurd. Religion and Orthodox Christianity, being grounded in ignorance and superstition, attacked science the moment it began to understand and control the universe, he said. Other points emphasized were: Slavery is condoned in the old and new Testament; Orthodoxy hinders philosophy and precludes freedom of expression of the human mind; the World War was a conflict of Christian commercial interests, and the opponents each prayed to the same God for a selfish victory: preachers have changed their opinions for over 2,000 years, and the attitude of New York preachers is distinctly capitalistic; Christianity is an impotent ventilation of the emotions and a hopeless dream: Christianity cannot put love in the hearts of men.

Her husband, Primitive Irrizary, is being sought on information supplied by Mrs. Mercedes Chavez, the landlady, that Irrizary had recently accused his wife of accepting attention from other men and had quarreled violently with her. Another murder was committed by Oscar Flierson, 28, white, who surrendered to the police after the fatal drunken brawl in his apartment on the second floor of 238 West Forty-third street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues. He admitted, the police said, he beat to death his common law wife, Mrs. Nina Williams, also white, because he discovered her with a colored man. The man was later arrested as a material witness. Jules Barnreza, 21, a Senegalese, was arrested at 359 West Thirteyninth street. He speaks little English and told the police through an interpreter that Pierson's account of the affair was correct. Barnreza has been here three months from France and intended to return shortly, he said. Announcement Rumors circulated recently regarding the death of Mrs. Martha E. Howell wife of the late H. Adolph Howell, wife of informed. Mrs. Howell, though suffering mental anguish from the loss of her beloved husband, has become up very well physically. These rumors may have been circulated evidently for the purpose of informing the public about her passing during the patronage of the H. Adolph Howell Funeral Church Establishment, which is operating the same as ever, as it is a corporation and will be perpetual. Mrs. Howell E.

Mrs. Stewart, who lives at 814 East 223d street, has received certification of appointment to various state hospitals, including Middletown, Poughkeepsie, Kings Park, Utica and Binghamton, only to find upon her arrival at the hospital that her services were not required. The New York Urban League, in an effort to ascertain the attitude of the Civil Service Commission, brought this to the attention of its president, Mrs. Charles Bennett Smith, who writes as follows: February 24, 1927. My dear Mr. Hubert: I greatly regret that it is not possible for the State Department of Civil Service to control the situation which you have brought to my attention. appointing officer has the right to choose any one of the three. I am afraid that an amendment to the State Civil Service Law, if it could be put through, would be held unconstitutional. In the meantime, however, we must continue to submit the three names. Very sincere yours. FRANCES STANTON SMITH. (Mrs. Charles Bennett Smith.) The decision holds that, if a Municipal Civil Service Commission or the State Civil Service Commission were permitted to compel the appointing officer to take the person whose name is next within certification, the appointment would be made by the Civil Service Commission and not by the head of the department, bureau or agency where the vacancy exists. It was further held by the Court of Appeals that a certification of the highest three on the eligible list gives the appointing officer reasonable discretion in making a choice. In the case of a single vacancy in a department, bureau, agency or institution, this Department, under the decision of the Court of Appeals, is required to certify the names of the three persons highest on the eligible list.

An excerpt from the decision of the Court of Appeals referred to by Mrs. Smith reads as follows: The provision of the Civil Service Law that appointments shall be . . . by appointment of those graded highest in open competitive examinations conducted by the State or Municipal Commission "is unconstitutional, since the right of appointment of necessity involves the power of selection and the exercise of discretion and judgment and the limitation of the right of appointment to the person graded highest would transfer the real power of appointment from the local authorities to the Civil Service Commission, and thus clearly nullify that provision of the Constitution which confers the power of appointing city offices upon the local authorities of the m ford and Red Cross Kidney Plaster Gives Quick Comfort It is dangerous to let a cold go without attention.

"The statute of 1883 and the rules adopted by the Civil Service Commissioners under it, which required that officers to be appointed should be selected from the highest three on the eligible list, was valid." The Amsterdam News, in its two previous issues, published two other cases where persons who had passed civil service examinations were denied appointment on the ground of color. From now, henceforth and forever, those who bow before the altar in the Monumental Baptist Church on Lafayette street, Jersey City, to be united in holy wedlock must mutually agree to obey. The Rev.

Brown, daughter of Mrs. Isabelle Brown, was married to Herbert V. Marone of New York City. After promising to "love, comfort, honor and serve" each other until death, the bride and bridegroom answered "We do" to the following question put by the Rev. Smith: "Do you both jointly and solemnly agree and promise to obey the marriage law of God to the best of your will? NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1927 CHRISTIANITY VIEWED AS HANDICAP, DEBATED PRO AND CON (Continued from Page 1) ter social and economic conditions, was the speaker's advice. "Orthodox Christianity is a religion of classes," he said. "Science and sociology recognize no classes. Adhere to science and become defiant and revolutionary." "Zy opponent," said Professor Miller, taking the floor, "was very eloquent, very learned and very wrong! I will concern myself with the reaction of religion upon mankind and deal with it as an agency of social salvation. Orthodox Christianity must be judged not by the horrors of the middle ages, but rather by the great sweep of its influence. Religion has guided mankind through the centuries, and has enabled an oppressed people Tens of thousands have saved tens of thousands in our existence of more than thirty years.

Open Mondays and Saturdays Till 10 P.M. to endure for over three hundred years. Religion has had a profound influence upon human evolution and it has always inspired social and economic progress. The Church is the vessel of the heavenly Messenger. Religion operates only through an immediate hypothesis. Wherever science has gained, Orthodox Christianity has adjusted its ideas in harmony with it." "It is human to err "There is a great margin between the procex and practice of Orthodox Christianity, and the same is true of the application of the Declaration of Independence. But we can no more say that Orthodox Christianity is a handicap to MICHIGAN Negro progress than is the American Government. And if the American Government is a handicap, let us do away with the government and see what happens." The political victories of the Negro were then reviewed in support of this assertion. "Slavery was not a handicap to the Negro, nor has his will ever submitted to slavery. If it had not been for slavery, the Negro would not have come into contact with the religion, literature, science and education of the most advanced people of the world. And if will be through these Negroes that he will reach his fullest emancipation. "Philosophy is a protective device to the overburdened. We must undergo in order to overcome. It was the Christian consciousness of progressive Orthodox Christianity that overthrew slavery, and that planted the seed of intelligence among the freedmen. They planted a rose of virtue in the garden of dishonor and shame. There is no Negro in America today who is not a beneficiary of Orthodox Christianity." The tremendous, vital and far-reaching influence of the forty thousand, churches in Colored America was brought forth as proof of the mighty influence of the church in the economic, social, and especially the political, life of the Negro throughout American history. Close these 40,000 churches, and organizations like the N. A. A. C. P., the Civil Rights League and the National Equal Rights Congress would have no meeting place, the speaker said. It was fear of the Romans that caused St. John to transfer his revelations from earth to heaven, and Christianity does likewise until humanity can make real the kingdom of heaven on earth, it was pointed out. "A destruction of the 'Ys' and churches in Harlem alone," said Professor Miller, "would transform it from the so-called 'Nigger Heaven' into an abode of the damned. What, I ask you, would the Negro do, if they were denied all Christian support?" In the rebuttal, Mr. Calverton talked mostly of the period of slavery, declaring that the Christians had found slavery unprofitable until the price of slaves went up. The American Government is one hundred per cent a handicap to Negro progress, he said, and that the Negro is told to accept Jesus, but not to ask for equality. In spite of the Fourteenth Amendment, which he classed along with vandowville, the Negro is still Jim-crowed, disfranchised and lynched, and is still a slave, a slave to economic and social oppression, he declared. In 1867 the Negro was a pawn in the hands of President Abraham Lincoln, who freed them, he said, solely as a matter of political expedition. Professor Miller then demanded of his opponent to know what he would give the people as a "substitute for Christianity." The simplicity of Jesus, which swayed the world, if it will not bring peace, honor and harmony, then what will? There is no dispensation under the heavens that can save us except the dispensation of Orthodox Christianity properly interpreted and properly applied. Like Ghandi, of India, the Negro must employ passive, moral resistance until he is able to match power with power." In closing the debate, Mr. Calvert asked American "generosity" why the South still denied franchisement to the Negro. The Republican Party was denounced, and the speaker went back again to the Civil War period for fresh material. Yes, he would destroy all the Y. M. C. A's., and the churches, and would free the workers of the United States from wage slavery, and reconstruct our entire economic and social systems. Each speaker was given thirty-five minutes for argument, followed by ten minutes of rebuttal from the affirmative. Then fifteen minutes was given the negative for rebuttal, followed by five minutes rebuttal for the affirmative. There were no judges to decide the winner of the debate, and the audience was not asked for a decision. The time to buy good furniture is when it is marked as low as we offer it in this special sale. The Store of the Thrifty MINISTERS GREETED BY COOLIDGE Interdenominational Alliance Holds Session in Washington Addresses Made by Rev. C. L. Russell, Organization Head; James Weldon Johnson, Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, Rev. A. C. Garner and Others WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25.—The delegates attending the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, in session at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church last week, were extended a formal greeting by President Coolidge at the White House executive offices. President Coolidge expressed his faith in the leadership of the colored race by the colored ministry, and declared: "Your opportunities are large and your responsibilities great." "Give the Boys a Chance" MODERNIZE NEW YORK'S Y. M. C. A. 181 West 135th Street The delivery of the president's annual address by the Rev. C. L. Russell of Washington, founder and president of the alliance, occupied the morning session Wednesday. The address was a plea for, stricter adherence to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Constitutional Amendments, which, if adhered to, he said, would tend to promote the "civil, economic and political aspirations of the colored race." CANON STOKES SPEAKS. The Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, canon of Washington Cathedral, addressed the alliance on "America's Need of Reilgon" Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mordecail Johnson, president of Howard University, spoke at 4 o'clock. "What Price Freedom?" was the subject of an address by James W. Johnson, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People," at S. clock Thursday night. The Rev. David Wylie, president of the Lord's Day Alliance of America, also spoke on "The Fight for the Best of Days." WOMEN ASSUMING LEADERSHIP. A symposium was held upon the subject of Negro leadership. The Rev. D. D. Turpeau of Pittsburgh stated the "womanhood of our race is repudiating the leadership of the ministry, and assuming the leadership of their own." He warned the colored ministry against participating in political affairs and characterized it as "some thing which is contrary to the promotion of our group." He said that "the realm of the ministry was in the field of moral ideals," and he advised the colored ministry to "purge themselves of political affiliations and creeds." He was answered by the Rev. On May 3 a campaign to raise funds for the modernizing program of the Y. M. C. A. will begin. It will end May 13th. Ten days to raise funds for an additional site, equipment and improvements on the West 135th Street Branch. This campaign is based on a sound plan for the future worked out by responsible New York business men. You probably know some of them. When they come to you, we want you to know the story and the need. We want you to help take care of Harlem's best asset:the hundreds of young men and boys who live here, and who come here every year from everywhere. What they will be, Harlem will be. Invest in them. They're a good investment. The West 135th Street Branch is to receive $750,000 for an additional site for boys----equipment---and improvement on present building. The Citizens of Harlem are expected to contribute $100,000. A. C. Garner of New York, who said that "as long as the moral leadership rests in the hands of the ministry all other forms remain there also," adding that "it is the colored minister who most nearly grasps the issues before the Negro voter, and can best interpret them to him."

Citizens' Forum to Meet With Abyssinian Lyceum The Citizens' Welfare Council will meet on Sunday afternoon at 6 p. m. with the lyceum of Abyssinian Baptist Church. The sub- The party was held in the home of Robert Davis at 2173 Fifth avenue. An argument arose between Williams and Daniels over the change of a dollar.

Citizens' Forum to Meet With Abyssinian Lyceum DON'T WAIT Until It Aches "Educated Young Negroes Selfish," Pastor Holds The Rev. Dr. John W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, in his sermon Sunday morning, deplored the attitude that many of the young educated men and women take towards the problems of life. He said that many of them are concerned only with material gains, and not how much service they can render their community or country. "It is difficult," he said. "for many of our educated young people to realize the great need of service and to live unselfish lives. They are concerned only with the easy things of life that do not require sacrifice." Dr. Robinson said that it is a rare thing for young men and women who are educated in the North to want to go South and teach. They are not willing to put up with inconveniences, but are looking always for the soft things of life. Dr. Robinson told how young white men and women were willing to go South and be ostracized from society in order to teach the Negro. He said that they were not always thinking of the easy things of life, but of how much service they could render. 4 Men in Stolen Auto Attack Cop Asked to See License Knocked Down Pistol Taken Patrolman John Anderson of the Kingsbridge police station was badly beaten Sunday night by four men he accosted in an automobile. He was knocked down when he asked the driver of the car for his license. It was learned later the car had been stolen. Anderson was suspicious on the appearance of the quartet and approached them on Mosholu Parkway just west of Broadway. He demanded the driving license and two of the men got out. While one was going through a wallet apparently seeking license papers the THREE other struck Anderson a heavy blow on the side of the face. As he fell the patrolman drew his service revolver. Meaning the remaining men had climbed out and seeing the pistol both kicked Anderson in the arm. He fired two shots, both of which went wild. All four then jumped on the prostrate patrolman. The revolver was wrested from his hand. Three of his assailants climbed into the automobile and the fourth, holding the revolver, jumped on the running board as the car started toward Van Cortlandt Park, Anderson had taken the number of the license plates and investigation showed the car had been stolen a few hours previously. The patrolman was treated by an ambulance surgeon and taken to his home. WINDSOR CENTENARIAN IS CALLED BY DEATH (Preston News Service). WINDSOR, N. C., April 25.—"Doctor" William Davis, widely known, died here Monday. He was born July 4, 1822, and would have been 105 years old next July 4. AGED WOMAN NABBED AS FAKER 30-Year-Old Rheumatic "Doctor's" Effective Work Halted by Law Mother Anthony of Evergreen Section of Brooklyn Had Patients Sent to Her, Even by Physicians By FANNIE POTTER "I'm tired, child, tired." I Anthony say that. Despite I been gay and sprightly. But months and months of courts all the worry that accompanies Mrs. Elizabeth Anthony—known to the whole of the Ey was arrested the latter part of ing a fake doctor. Two white Clay and Mary Jackson, were 452 Clover place. They comp were accordingly immersed in was added hops, herbs and a two hours and the fee was five "I'm tired, child, tired." It was unusual to hear Mother Anthony say that. Despite her 80 years, she has always been gay and sprightly. But who wouldn't be tired after months and months of courts, investigations, lawyers and all the worry that accompanies? Mrs. Elizabeth Anthony—or Mother Anthony, as she is known to the whole of the Evergreen section of Brooklyn—was arrested the latter part of last week on a charge of being a fake doctor. Two white women investigators, Violet Clay and Mary Jackson, were sent to Mrs. Anthony's home, 452 Clover place. They complained of rheumatic pains and were accordingly immersed in a bath of bran paste, to which was added hops, herbs and a liquid. The treatment lasted two hours and the fee was five dollars. The court ruled that Mother Anthony and her daughter, Mrs. Carrie Hines, acted as fakers and they were placed in ball for working without a license. However, it was proved that Mother Anthony had given only external treatment. All the doctors of Evergreen and Ridgewood spoke highly of her, telling how she had taken cases when they had given up. Their advice to patients suffering from rheumatism was "Go to the colored woman as many times as she will take you." They went. Mrs. Anthony averaged fifteen patients a day, most of them wealthy white people. One doctor travelled all the way from the West for treatment. In answer to my question "Do you intend to sell the patent?" Mother Anthony said, "Yes, I intend to sell. The work must go on." At that moment we were interrupted: "Mother Anthony, my mother wants you to come right over." A little white toot looked anxiously at her. Mother Anthony sighed as she gazed out of the window. She knew her duty. She knew the trust that hundreds of people placed in her. But the courts had decided that she must discontinue her practice of the past forty years. Mother Anthony has taken cases when the doctor has said: "No hope." She has prospered too. Mother Anthony owns five houses, several lots and three cars. MAN SHOT IN BACK OUT OF DANGER James Mason, 55, laborer. 20 West 129th street, who was found last Wednesday in front of 44 West 129th street, near Fifth avenue, with a 32-calibre bullet wound through his back and chest, was reported by Harlem Hospital to be cut of danger. Probation Agents Joseph Perengelo and Louis Decanto were questioned by detectives of the West 123d Street Station after Mason was found. The agents admitted they fired four shots at a bartender who fled from an alleged "speakeasy" at 2175 Seventh avenue. No charges were brought against Perengelo and Decanto, as detectives could not link them with the Mason shooting. SILVER'S SILVER'S -- GREAT -- ALTERATION SALE!

HAIR DRESSING CREAM NEARLY all of my correspondents have versed grief over something done in the past or some future fear or present doubt. It oftimes seems as though the other fellow has all the good luck, while we trudge along life's way just barely keeping up. And that's just what keeps us down. Too much reflection, inaction, fear of failure. Not enough self-confidence, determination and hard work. A successful business man has a maxim in his office that catches everyone's eye: "Success is one-tenth inspiration and nine-tenth perspiration." And the motto isn't on the wall only. It's in his heart, too. If your life is full of past regrets and future forebodlings, remember the power of substitution; stepace worry with hard work. Fill the spare moments with a hobby. Get out and see something. Go out and do something. Na me is beautiful and calls us these days. It's surprising how good one eels with the blue heave; its right above his head and an inner satisfaction of having done his work attribuly. Dear Madam; am a young man who, although possessed with a deeply innate incessant sense of humor, lives a very deep and serious anxious affection for a certain young lady who does not seem to see that side of me. She seems to doubt me, and consequently worries me to the utmost. This young lady is a typical twentieth century modernist, well blessed in my edition, she has all of her own conjuring attitudes to be seen in my individual and I do not mind admitting that I have fallen a victim, but she has so many other miters that I am about to give up although the thought of it gives me the worst heartache. I have ever had, but I have never had, although she says that she cares. Shall I persist in my efforts or shall I divert my attention in another direction? Dear C. A.: You say you are possessed outwardly with an apparently innocent sense of humor, but have a very deep affection for a young lady who doesn't seem to notice that side of your life and consequently doubts you.

Dela- to windward, taking the New state indeed was she to secure and she entered upon the new to maintain the tradition for previous teachers of her blood schools of the financial center The years later it was that Miss Tracy Hull (A.B.—sigma cum laude) became a member of the faculty of a prodigious high school in the teeming city of New York, ninety-nine per cent of the students being of white races. The year before she had taught most prominently in a colored school in Wilmington. Dela-although, with an eye to windward, taking the New York examinations. Fortune indeed was she to secure an appointment. And she entered upon the new school with a zest, resolved to maintain the tradition for it, established by previous teachers of her blood tradition in the public schools of the financial center of the world. Her eight years at preparatory school and college were spent in the rigorous moral dominance of the Aunt Alice and the Puritan tradition. Living in the palm and prayful house of the Aunt Alice, the canary, the dog rather in the lively dormitories of the college, the girl withdrew herself from her chassmates and the social life of the institution times a week Tracy found "herself getting into bed at two or even three in the morning, though, except at weekends, she arrose at seventh thirty. Was John Hull beginning to live again in his daughter?" Tracy's dresses grew shorter and shorter as the nights flow. She learned to value a Melachrino and to tolerate the tang of Baccardi. One evening after the theatre, the two couples took supper near Times Square on the Dutch plan, so dear to all students, at a Chinese restaurant where the chow meine is made in North China style. Dancing afterwards at The Birdies, a Negro night club near 153th street on Seventh avenue. Tracy was introduced by some happy chance to Henry McKee, Esq., a barrister who had just inherited a fortune from his grandfather, an eccentric personal friend, and a community in Philadelphia of that not particularly picturesque name whose sole requirement was that his grandson assume it. Mr. McKeen was at once drawn to Tracy. He danced with her very cleverly, teaching her a sapp or so; asked if he might call; invited her to the Metropolitan to see an exhibit of the work of a Spanish painter of unpronounceable name. And she, finding him the most widely travelled and informed, most wily, gracious, compunctionable man she had ever met, profoundly, not to say overwhelmingly, interested in him. It was the very first time in her life that the masculine had made appeal to her almost nature. With his iron gray hair and his almost military carriage, McKee was a distinguished figure carved by some master hand out of finest ebony. When he called, Tracy banished Mary and her spectacle boy friends lest they mar her joy. When McKee took ber of the Metropolitan, she learned more about painters and schools of painters than ever she dreamed before. She told Mary afterward, "Seems if there are as many schools of painters as of fish!" Mr. McKee's interest in Tracy was such that he urged her to save her earnings and spend her summers in Europe—first, to get a bird's eye view of the Continent, and afterward to spend a whole vacation in Brittany, another at Wendone on the North Sea, another at Heidelberg, another at Montreuix. "But, I'll be married before all that, you know," the girl interpolated. London he disliked as too, too funny. Paris as too complicated and shopworm; Vienna is too gay; but, Geneva invited, his soul. One day the discerning Mary said to Tracy as the latter was dressing to go to Charlot's for a long table d'note dinner with Mr. McKee and afterward to the theatre: "Colonial Mulden, why don't you bob that hair of yours? You use of looking old-time sweater over a dipper? Take it from me dear one, if I were Henry McKee, I never propose to a girl with a mame! Not in these days, O Gawd! Clip it!" Tracy disdained to answer, but Mary was unfagging, "Another thing: what does a man want with a dead oliveint of a girl? Of course, I know you've been living with those Caucasian students at school and are a bit frayed at the jobs; but, what's the matter with my rouge, old dear? It's Coty's, you know." Tracy tried the ronge. But, it took Mary's practiced hand to put it on "right and proper." And when Mary graced McKee, the girl her beauty made him exclaim: "But, say, aren't you feeling Her eight years at preparatory and college were spent in the rigorous moral dominance of her Aunt Alice and the Puritan tradition. Living in pain and prayerful housekeeping, and the dog rather than in the lively dormitories of the college, the girl withdrew from her classmates and the social life of the institution. Mary McCormick, the oppo­nent voices and was heartily welcomed everywhere and highly valued by her classmates. Tracy was a grind. Indeed, she learned to look askance upon the innocent frivolities of the girls and to find refuge in study and in testing and prayer with Aunt Alice. If Tracy afterted a class dance, she did not dance, although her hand was sought because of the slender ebon beauty when she met she felt a certain appearance—a repugnance due quite as much to sex as to race. She got to a classmate's room to get a Greek grammar. Three girls luriously smoking cigarettes with gold tips, to her amazement and horror. Her Aunt Alice and she went upon their old fashion prior afterward to supplicate Jehovah to save these wayward misses from a life of shame. When Tracy was graduated from college, the class historian referred to her as the "only true Colonial maiden" in the group, despite her Ethiop ancestry! And with her uncut hair, her dresses long enough to win Aunt Alice's institutional approbation, and her colonial inhibitions, she was inward and in truth just that. Had he not living he would have said, "New brooms sweep clean!" But, to the despair of Aunt Alice, the girl's beauty was indomitable, admirably withstanding comparison with the Caucasian features of her classmates. It was in this phase of Tracy's life that she had confronted her own mother in a strange man's culture. Never had mother and daughter discussed or adverted to the horrible episode—until Tracy's momentous letter—but it had built up an estrangement between them. What more pitiless than Young? In the imperial city of the Western World Tracy was set free at once from a servitude of which she had been unconscious. And with the prompt resiliency of her age, she rueted against the multitudinous repressions of Aunt Jill, undergoing a rapid and startling transformation. The instincts of the girl's vigorous manhood asserted themselves. Five vast city with all its millions of people and their knowledgeless activities acted upon her suggestible nature as a stimulus—content and profound. Tracy found herself going to theatre three or four times a week. Mary McAllister, who had a literary post on one of most Negro magazines published in New York, came to the same apartment with her 139th street. They search the most picturesque institutions — whether Negro, French, Chinese, or Indian — accompanied by two hundred young men who attended the Atlanta University for graduate studies and danced in a cotten. Now and again, she attended a revue — the Greenwich Folley, George White's theater in Harlem. More should be recounted in some of the negro abject in Harlem music. Its many colored THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1927 FAUSTINE TRIMBLE "PLL BE HONEST WITH YOU, MARY, I actually love Henry McKee --- love him with all my heart and soul and body, love him madly, shall love him forever!" "Well, Colonial Maiden, with the Ethiop background, you don't have to look so ferocious about it, even if you have got a soul! And I'm wondering whether that's you or the choice Baccardi talking. But, all strength to your dimpled arms. Do you suppose he really knows how you feel? Do you speak out --- or do you just look unutterable things and gently heave a sigh?" great tonight? Your cheeks are burning." "No, they aren't, King Solomon, the girl tossed back." The only thing about me that's burning is -- my heart!" couldn't. It was assuredly his own fault. "It is as if," she said to Mary, solemnly lighting a Melachrino, "the fonder I am, of Henry, the more hard-boiled he is to me." Opportunity Awards Dinner May 7 Has Hubby Arrested, Then Has Him Freed Israel Phillips, 29, 11 East-117th McKeen stood abashed. But, the very next day Tracy found a beauty parlor on Seventh avenue where she secured a wonderful boyfriend both—and some other modern conveniences. Looking at herself in the glass critically, she was delighted not to look any longer like the Sixteenth Century. But, to her astonishment, McKeen said afterward: "And you throw away your wonderful hair? What a perfect courage!" Still, she knew in her heart—or in her head—that she did look more dashing than ever before and she knew too that the slow-wit would find it out soon enough. However, she "got a bick," as she confided in Mary, out of his lament at the loss of her long black hair—"the rape of the hocks," he called it. So, she tied a hook of it with blue ribbon, put it in a delicately scented envelope, and slipped the same envelope into her hope was written in her medial slant: "To the only human who lambits its loss"! McKeen thanked her laughingly and said he would treasure that look in remembrance of the tragedy. Very well indeed Tracy realized how much more reserved McKeen was than the voluble and irresponsible boy friends that Mary had. So did Mary. "it's up to you, Dumb Dora," counselled Mary, lighting a fresh cigarette, as she set aside the proofs she had brought home to correct, "it's up to you. The poor fish is crazy about you, all right; but, he's no Romeo. Still, I like him; kid; he's a Prince Royal." Entirely aware that this fish she had hooked felt toward her as she toward him, Tracy had a large size Sarony taken of herself—hobbled hair, penilcled eyebrows, and all. One evening she showed it to him, saying archly, "Wouldn't you like one?" "Of course, I should," was the reply. And away with him that evening he took the photograph. The next morning she sent him a letter on Rosbud Bond: "My 'dear Henry — Why shouldn't I call you by your first name if I want to? Don't you call me by my name? Anhow, I want you to know it delights me beyond all words to realize that my photograph is to be in your apartment always, greeting you when you arise in the morning and smiling at you when you retire. Remember—I am thinking of you every moment! "Yours, "TRACY." There was no answer. Some days later McKeen sent a telegram—it is a New York habit to telegraph from part of the vast city to another—to say that urgent business called him to Chicago but that he would be back in a week or two. She was—heartbroken. She called up his hotel but he had gone, leaving no Chicago address. If she could have written to him, she would have felt better; but she couldn't. It was assuredly his own fault. "It is as if," she said to Mary, solemnly lighting a Melachrino, "the more hard-bолд-he is to-me-" "O, his heart doesn't pump fire water, gillie. He just hasn't any imagination." said Mary and she poured out a tiny glass of Bacardi for the disconsoleated maiden. "Lots of men don't, you know. Now, that Maureen of mine has too darned much imagination—sometimes." "I'll be honest with you, Mary. I actually love Henry McKee—love him with all my heart and soul and body, love him madly, shall love him forever." "Well, Colonial Maiden with the Ethiop background, you don't have to look so ferocious about it, even if you have got a soul! And I'm wondering whether that's you or the choice Baccardi talking. But, all strength to your dimpled arms. Do you suppose he really knows how you feel? Do you speak out?—or do you just look mutterable things and look have a sigh?" "Of course." Tracy was disputed at Mary's crass stupidity. She jumped from the couch to dispose of query with dramatic finality. She waved her arms. "He couldn't help knowing. He may be a poor fish, as you say, but he wasn't born in Mammoth Cave—he's not a blind one. And Gawd-k knows I'm not dumb." (To be concluded next week.)

Has Seen Much to Admire in This Old Offering The Toulssaint Players present "Goat Alley," a drama of Negro life by Ernest Howard Culbertson, directed by Egon Brecher of the Civic Repertory Theatre, at the Princess Theatre. The cast: Lucy Belle Dorsey.....Evelyn Ellis Slim Dorsey.....Edward Thompson Sam Reed.....A. B. Comathere Aunt Rebecca.....Ellizabeth Williams Lizzle Gibbs.....Dorothy Paul Jeff Bisbee.....J. Louis Johnson Chick Avery.....Baron Bryan Jeremiah Pocher.....Hayes Prior Fanny Dorsey.....Margaret Petty Israel Dorsey.....George Watson Policeman.....Jack Carter "Goat Alley" is a tragedy of a hard working lone colored girl whose life is marred by inopportune habits. Negro-written and Negro-acted, this melodrama proved such a novelty at the Princess Theatre that it won fourteen curtain calls and repeated shouts for the author, Amateurish in many spots, it is acted with primitive zest in the love scenes and grand opera exaggeration in the tragic moments. It is naive and refreshingly brutal—worth going to see as a play and as a product of a race. Lucy Belle, played with unrestrained feeling by the dark little Evelyn Ellis, begins by being married. Baby No. 1. Her husband deserts her and she becomes a slavey to the burly hard-bitten Jeff Bisbee. Baby No. 2. The rascally Jeff gets into a fight with Sam Reed, a steady, tolling Nero, and Jeff is sent to fail. Lucy falls in love with Sam, who is a devoted and jealous Othello. Her life with him is interrupted by the return of Jeff, Sam stabs him as he tries to take Lucy away, and Sam is sent off for a long term. Then Lucy's worthless brother, Slim, steals her money. She is forced to take in as a roomer a gay young barber, Chick Avery, and she has another baby. Sam comes back from fall, devoted as ever. He has with difficulty forgiven her the child by Jeff, swearing that if she ever has another lover he will kill her. He knocks at the door while Lucy is nursing the latest infant. She rises in terror. "Sho, now chile. Quit yo' crying," says a fat manmy. "Yo' ain't got nothin' to worry about!" Lucy hides the baby a moment before the overjoyed Sam takes her into his arms. Determined to keep him from knowing about the child, which she regards as a final curse, she takes it out and drowns it. While she is gone Sam is told by a jealous woman of Lucy's affair with the barber. In a desperate scene Lucy convinces Sam that the story is a life. She has just won him over when the mummy comes in and inquires about the baby. Sam thrusts the woman out the door, locks it, and chokes Lucy to death. The part of Sam is played finely by A. B. Comathiere, Baron Bryan wins many a laugh as the barber. H. B. TEACHING PIANO, VIOLIN, MANDOLIN, CORNET, TUBA, HORN, TROMBONE, CLARINET, SAXOPHONE, BARITONE, VOICE CULTURE.

THE pocket billiard tournament, now coming to a close in Pittsburgh, should show good players of the amateur brand. An interstate pocket billiard match would be fine. The Colored Amateur Billiard Players' Association would be pleased to promote such a player, take home from Pittsburgh, Address C. A. B. F, 165 West 132d street, New York. A NUMBER of the big timers are seen on the green cloth at the Lafayette Billiard Emporium these days—Muller, Lyles, Paul Floyd, Trent, Johnson, Gordon—having just returned from a successful game. Trent has just put over one of the season's song hits. Atta boy, Joe! MILLER says it takes all of his time to figure how he can lose a game of billiards to Lyle. While that may be so, Lyle keeps Black Carl huddling to win one from him. IN order to clear up and substantiate himself, the matchmaker of the Emporium will have to arrange a match game between J. R. Johnson and his associate, Taylor Gordon. SOME of the patrons, noting the signs in and around the door of the Emporium, said they noted the new window decorations they let out a howl for new cues. All right, boys. May 1st is moving day, and there is going to be some cue moving done. A PROFESSIONAL pocket billiard armament, the company that the Emporium to Include "Thulhidhela Slim," "Charleston," "Shakley."

With baseball taking the spotlight, we submit for your approval the only paper published by Negroes in this part of the world carrying ALL the important games. Do not take our word. Just get all the papers and we will be perfectly satisfied to abide by your judgment. GILBERT IN "THE SHOW" HERE GILBERT IN "THE SHOW" HERE Will Be at the Douglas Theatre This Week in Fine Picture John Gilbert, outstanding star who has been called "the screen's greatest lover," and who comes to the Douglas Theatre this week in "The Show," comes naturally by his historic ability. His father and mother were both celebrities of the speaking stage. Born in Logan, Utah, he received his education in schools all over the country, wherever his parents happened to be. The finishing touches he received at the Hitchcock Military Academy, San Rafael, California. He played his first role on the stage when he was a year old under Eddie Foy. For some time he fluctuated between pictures, in which he had his first experience as an extra in short features in 1915, and other fields. Among other things he was a rubber salesman and a newspaper reporter. The lure of the screen was too strong, however, and finally Gilbert devoted himself definitely to it as his life work. He worked himself up slowly through small parts to leading man for Mary Pickford in "Heart of the Hills." Then he free lanced as an actor, signing finally with Maurice Tourneur. Next he made his own productions in New York. Popular Postos at Manhattan Casino Monday A crowded house will likely greet the Postos Club Monday night at Manhattan Casino to hear Fletcher Henderson in his last appearance in New York before leaving for a cross-country tour with his Roseland Orchestra. In addition to the inimitable Fletcher and his Roseland Orchestra, the popular Postos will offer Alex Jackson and his famous Plantation Orchestra after an absence from Harlem of two seasons. The two musical aggregations offer an exceptional evening to those who have been fortunate enough to be among the invited. The Postos have made a name for invitational affairs, being the first post office club to inaugurate these dancesantes, and the usual high class evening is being looked forward to by their host of friends. "Jenkings," Roy Holland and others, Watch for the announcement. SEAONS may come, seasons may go, but the gentleman's game of billiards goes on for recreation and pleasure.

FRENCH FARCE, "A KISS IN A TAXI," STARS BEBE DANIELS Chester Conklin Featured Latest Clarence Badger Production "A Kiss in a Taxi," Bebe Daniels' latest Paramount comedy success, arrives at the Lincoln Theatre next Thursday. Advance notices claim it to be equally as good as "The Campus 'Flirt.'" "Stranded in Paris" or "Lovers in Quarantine." And to give the farce added color "A Kiss" takes place in zat gay city on the Seine, Farce! Perhaps you wonder the cause for such a provoking title? Strange as it may seem, "A Kiss in a Taxi" really has quite a bearing on the story it tells. As Ginette, beautiful Montmartre cafe waitress, Bebe has ample opportunity for the racy riotous comedy she has become famous for. It is the opinion of all the babe's frequenters that only one man can kiss Ginette's lovely face and he is Lucien Cambolle, her flame. But strangers come who do not know and so—Leon Lambert tries his luck, with a cockerery battle royal ensuing. Why question the results? Rather let us do a quick fade out from the field of combat. A few days later, Lambert, riding around town in a cab, stops before a florist's shop and gets out to purchase a corsage for his comely companion, but while he is gone the bird also flies away. On his return, a figure crouches in the corner. Lambert offers his floral tribute and turns to claim a kiss. He gets it, but also receives a stiff right to the jaw. The occupant of the cab is not his former companion, but Ginette! How did she get there? What happens? These are some of the things "A Kiss in a Taxi" will divulge. Chester Conklin adds his bag of tricks to all those which Bebe puts over. Clarence Badger, director of a long line of hits, is said to present another masterly job.

DOMINGO IN SUCCESSFUL RECITAL French Farce at the New Lincoln Theatre Mrs. Domingo in Fine Recital Mrs. Domingo in Fine Recital Achieved Artistic Triumph at Imperial Auditorium Last Week Just when we were about to conclude that the present musical season would close without the arrival of any new colored talent, Long came Mrs. Eulalia Domingo and her students, assisted by Mrs. Margaret Wets, of Steinway Hall. In one of the best piano recitals we have ever had the good fortune to attend, at Imperial Hall, on Thursday, April 21. The program was especially continental in its character, opening with Leybach's "Fifth Nocturne," and including items from Heller, Moskowski, Kreisler, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Bohm, Grieg, Rheinhold, and several other well known European composers. At the opening of the program Miss Doris Wint, at the piano, presented the Fifth Nocturne of Leybach. Her playing disclosed very excellent skill, both in interpretation and in technique. The playing of all of the students was of high merit, particularly that of Messrs. Dujon, Gonibourne and Hanson, and the Misses Brown, Barret and Hanson. All of the students gave evidence of technical talent and showed evidence of painstaking and finished instruction. Mrs. Domingo showed rare judgment in presenting and preparing her program, for unlike the average teacher in recital with her students, she refrained from spreading her name all over the program, which gave her pupils ample positions in which to display their talent. She appeared only twice in the entire program, her first number being Mendelssohn's "Rondo Capricoloso," which she rendered with exceptional skill. Mrs. Domingo played this number with startling proficiency, and demonstrated the fact that while her instruction has been largely under the direction of western teachers, she is essentially European in her technical ex 7-11 Company at Lafayette Next Presenting 'Watermelons' With Mae Brown, Garland Howard, Speedy Smith Approximately three years ago, the "7-11" company was born at Welcome Home, Folks THE ROOM OF GREETING GOZHOU Howard.

Aid Colored Flood Sufferers Midnight Benefit Performance to Be Given at Lafayette Tuesday A special midnight benefit performance will be given at the Lafayette Theatre next Tuesday for the benefit of the many colored families who have been made destitute by the floods now sweeping the lower Mississippi. The daily reports of the disaster are most appalling. Hundreds have been left injured and starving, and among them are innumerable colored men, women and children. The management of the Lafayette Theatre is planning to ask a committee of representative citizens in Harlem to assist in making the benefit performance successful. If there was ever a cause which justified the support of the public, this is it. Announcement of the program to be given will be made shortly. Every colored actor of prominence in the city will be asked to participate. The Lafayette Theatre will be donated without charge, as will also the cost of advertising. Give a helping hand.

WATCH FOR THE GOLD EYE SOCIAL CLUB Fancy Dress Dance at Renaissance Ballroom Mon. Eve., May 16th 1927 Southland Revue Scores Big Hit Tim Moore, Jean Starr and Mercia Marquez Head Unusually Splendid Cast The second venture of the management of the Lafayette Theatre into the business of producing theatrical entertainment met with an unusually enthusiastic audience at the opening performance on Monday. And 'tis small wonder, for the cast reads like a list of some of the most popular colored entertainers in town: Tim Moore, Fred Johnson, Jean Starr, Mercia Marquez, Dewey Brown, Jimmy Johnson, Dusty Fletcher, Campbell and Farrell and other celebrities. Comedy vies with beautiful dancing and sweet music to make the revue one of the finest seen in Harlem for many months, and wave after wave of applause greeted the numbers. Jean Starr "stopped the show" with her spirited rendition of "Nobody But My Baby Gets My Love:" Tim Moore and Freddie Johnson produced a continuous roar of laughter in a twenty-minute comedy sketch entitled "Malinda's Wedding." Miss Marquez's perfectly-timed tap dancing brought a hearty burst of approval. One of the real surprises of the show was the reception accorded to Jimmie Johnson. Jimmie rendered a number called "A Good Little Gal." Part of the number is an impassioned address which a country lawyer makes in defense of a girl who has been arrested for a crime. The audience applauded for fully a minute when Jimmie finished. The chorus of Southland Revue is excellently trained. They go through five numbers which are well received. One—a drill—is the finest dance number seen in these parts this season. There is a little girl who is new to Lafayette Theatre goers who contributes a little novelty to the numbers. Her name is Cora La Redd. She is a fine little "clown." Many who saw her predicted that her name would soon appear with the "Stars."

Joyce was 25 years old and started out in life to be a boxer and ended up being an actor. His career began in 1920 when still in his teens he appeared in "Bon Bon Buddle," and later with "Shuffle Along," where he afterwards became a favorite. When he entered "4-11-44" ("How Come") he took with him the same genial personality and never-to-be-forgotten smile which always pleased and was a distinguishing mark of his character. On Oct. 9, 1926, he returned to his home, and though he received the skillful attention of Dr. T. F. Reed, he died on April 7 and was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery. AL BROWN. Seen in Picture Cap.

Giants, the final figures reading, Daisies 7, Giants 0. The home crew went out and sowed up the game in the opening frame when they nicked Pierce's delivery for a quartet of runs. This inning and two batters in the second, who walked and singled respectively, finished Pierce's stay on the rubber. Shorty Rankin, who was tossed into the breach, was a decided opponent. Pierce ringing the fifth frame when Bolden's clan bunched three hits and a walk for two runs, the relief hurler pitched fifty ball. Bullet Campbell held the invades well in check and only in the eighth inning did they seriously threaten the rubber. In this round White singled to center and Milt Lewis doubled down the left field. Rankin poped to Yancey and Jackman hit a sharp bounder to Judy Johnson. Judy whipped the ball to the pan, but Joe Lewis doubled with him. White, however, failed to touch the plate and was tagged out by Campbell. Billy Yancey performed in great style against his former teammates; the Soult Philadelphia boy converted an even dozen chances in the proper manner without a slip. Judy Johnson and Bus Davis socked the apple for two doubles each. PHILADELPHIA GiANTS. R.H.O.A. E.

The Farmers obtained ample revenge in the second game, winning by a score of 11 to 7. Chad See twirled the first game for the Farmers and held the colored tossers to nine hits. Charley who started the second game for the homestead hit the knocked off the rubber hit the sixth inning. Lawn-fed relieved him, allowing the Broncos two hits. Aberriton, in the box for Santop's men, went to the showers in the sixth. Jackson replacing him and getting smacked for five runs. The game was a thriller all the way. Catches by Jefferson stopped the Farmers from scoring more than once. A one-hand catch by Kinney with two men on base in the fifth inning choked off a threatening rally by Santop's club. The Broncos got two runs in the first inning of the nightcap, but the Farmers came back with two in the second. The Farmers scored once in the third and again in the fourth. Santop's boys tallied twice in the fifth, but the Farmers kept in front by taking back both runs in their half. The Broncos chalked up two more runs in the sixth, after which the Farmers put a one-sided aspect on the game by tallying five runs. The homesters successfully worked the squeeze play three times in this session and each delivered things by stealing home. Manager Kepa Krumenacker led the Farmers in batting in the second game, getting three hits, among them a triple and a homer. The scores: FARMERS. AB. B. H. O. A.

The spirit of the Young Men's Division of the West 135th Street Y. M. C. A. animated itself Saturday night in the Y gym, when the Y. M. D. quint, by undaunted courage before the onshuthe of the older and more experienced players of the Y. M. D. Alumni, took a game chock full of excitement by a one-point margin, score 22-22. In those last few hair-raising minutes the Alumni stunned off defeat several times when long shots put them ahead. Determined to have only victory, the Y. M. D. would return every time with a brilliant play and assume the lead again. And when he chiselish sounded Gregory's last but him fount, was descending into his basket, but previous to this Baker had received a pass from the outside from Rainer and had accounted for a shot that faltered on the rim before dropping through. So Gregory's two points could only reduce a three point lead to one. When the Y. M. D. sharp-shooters returned at the beginning of the second half on the less desirable portion of a 10-7 count, there was blood in their eyes. By jefferson, put them in by Jefferson. The Y. M. D. remained in the lead until Gregory recorded a shot and free throw to make the count 15 to 14 for the losers. But after a tense rally in which the cheers of the partisan galleries all but raised the roof, the destinated quint forged ahead again on Rainer's shot. Reece and Gregory each made a foul shot, and then "Squack" Miller. Alumni's forward, stole the lead again with a loop from the center of the floor. The score was 17-7. N. D. became desperate. The trophy which designates supremacy among the Y teams sent its ghost across their horizon. They were doggedly clinging to the sphere and advancing it down the floor like a machine of many winters. Jefferles took a pass from Adams and bottled it, bringing to his team a lead that never was surpassed. Rainer increased the advantage with another well executed shot, but the most tenacious man in the game dribbed. Dick Seay, then intercepted a pass and sent the sphere twirling through the strings. Nevertheless, the Y. M. D. had tasted of the vintage of victory. It was delicious. Then came Baker's shot which removed all doubt from the hearts of those followers who shrieked for victory.

Glad should have received the DUKE; at least that was the opinion of many who paid their BUCKS to gilm the sockets. ACCORDING to the dope, Jack Bernstein is somewhat peved over the suggestion that he is to be a semi-finalist or the program for the benefit boxing show for the Bronx Hospital that is to be staged in the New Garden on May 13. Jack is shecded to try to organize for four sessions or less. Jack claims that Sid Turtles is attempting to grab all the glory. We hope it is no more than that on Jack's mind. For some months the Boxing Commission and Harry Garah, Flowers' mentor, have been trying to ding Jack into the same ring with the New Rochester ind. CREDIT goes to Deputy commissioner Dan Skilling for securing Jack's signature, and it is hoped he doesn't bulk at the last minute, for it is one scrap a lot of folks want to see. Leave it to Dan, he'll keep Jack in line if that is possible. KID BULLER is back home and "marin' to go." Don't rush, matchmakers: one at a time. But who is going to be the best in shape, and surely you remember him in the days of the old Commonwealth. ALLELTOWN Joey Taus and Jimmy Moore of California drew in a six-round bout at Wilkes-Barre. Du. Tuesday night of last week. It is too bad that two second-round matches are known to have been and Jimmy is known to have to battle six rounds (a preliminary contest). Boxing is so unfair that a day of competition would be a good thing if the Governors in each of the States where boxing is allowed would abolish the game altogether. The governor better, under present circumstances. GEORGIE FORBES, Eugene Flaherty's rising young lightweight, and Billy Wiley, well known to Harleen the semifinal to the Sammy Tisch-Jimmy.

They're both soldiers now. BOB LAWSON, who goes against Harold Mays in one of the tents on the same card, with young Ebbets Field May 3, is working out with the "Cracker," on the roof of the St. Francis Hotel in Newark, California Jimmy Moore is also helping Young Liily out. AN attempt is being made to match Brance Flowers with Michael Gareth, the ground affairs for the Catholic Boys' Club benefit to be staged at the Polo Ground on June 15, under the guidance of Gareth Willing, but what about Billy Gibson and Kaspian? BIG George Godfrey knocked out Jon Chevalier, Oakland heavyweight, in the first round of the last week of last week. Chevalier is an ebony-hued socker and said to be quite promising. His manager must be on the ground by sending him against Big George. JOE SPATOLA, winner of the 133-pound class in the Golden Showdown, Sallam-Urescent Club tightweight, in the feature bout of the amateur boxing show of the year at Jackson Heights Club House, Queens, Monday night of last week. It was a fast bout and the boxer, who won three rounds, Spatolai's accurate punching won for him. A JINX to be in the pathway of the New Henry Shaw, an Army boxer and member of the 35th Infantry. A few weeks ago Shaw got a bad deal because he hit Jackson at the Finishing, Armry, Flushing, L. L. The boys boxed again last Thursday night at the same armory and again at Jackson that was worse than the previous one. The following account of the battle was the opinion of a Brooklyn George Jackson, of Flushing, received an unpopular decision over Henry Shaw, of the North Baltimore team, who served Jackson was flooded in the second and again in the fifth, and it did not look as if his fast finish in the last game was more than a dawd, if that. The verdict was met by boys and catecils. Jackson was seven pounds heavier than Shaw, who scaled 155 pounds. KID RASH, veteran bantamweight battle of the "Hell Fighters," outpointed Frankie Krapp of the Navy Militia in a match at the twenty-seventh Division Train Armory, Brooklyn, last Thursday night. Rash capped the third diet by hand, and the fight was the infighting. Frankie showed a TNT right paw, but it landed on Rash's jaw only once, and the Kid was lucky to win the stoop. It happened in the second Single Men Put It Over the Married Men Up at the Renalissance Casino last Sunday night the Single Men went out and hung it heavy on the Married Men in the last basketball game of the season by a score of 52-25. In the preliminary game the Meteors defeated the Scholastics by a 38-20 score. Waterman starred for the Meteors, scoring 17 points. Between the halves, the Douglas Trophy was presented to the Meteors, champions of the Eastern Basketball League. During the season of the big game, Huiswould was forced to take part as "Pappy" Ricks and Harold Mayers kept sending the sphere after him, and Huiswould, not to be outdone, kept sending it back after them. INDIANS TOOK BOTH ENDS Cuban Giants Go Down Before Hawtree Men at Community Stadium The Hawtree Indians took both ends of a double-header from the Cuban Glants on Sunday at Community Stadium, 13 to 5 and 15 to 6. The Indians got off to an early lead in the opening contest and with the excellent twirling of Bill Voight emerged an easy winner. With the score 5 to 3, against them in the fourth inning of the second the Hawtrees staged a rally and scored four runs, enough to win the game. They added seven more in the eighth.

U. truck and field championships were taken from New Orleans last week because of fear that racial troubles might enter into the event. The southern contingent decided that the event could not be held in New Orleans unless Negroes were forbidden to participate in competition against white athletes. The A. U. U., in its firm stand that no man shall be barred on account of race, color or creed, plans to arrange for the event to be held in some other city in July. It is expected that there will be some delay in the holding of the meet this year. F. W. Rubien, secretary of the A. U. declared that a national and patriotic body had no right to bar any American because of race or creed. He pointed out the "obvious unfairness" of calling upon Negroes to represent America and win high honors in Olympic games and later deny them the right to compete in their own national championships. Among the Negro athletes almost certain to win places among American representatives are: Cecil Cooke, brilliant quarter-miler of Syracuse University and national champion; Charles Major, St. Bonaventure College, high jumper and indoor title holder; as well as De Hart Huihardt, broad-jump star, and also many other distance men. Secretary Rublen pointed out that only once during holding championship games in the South has any athlete protested against competing with a Negro. On that occasion a hurler from the University of Virginia said "he could not go home and admit that he traced a colored man." 100 Down I Deliver Any ph to Your Home The Latest Records, Roll Music Musical Instruments It Will Deliver a Hardman- yer-Piano to Your Home L Edited by Romeo L.

A. distance star, when he won the three-mile special handicap of the 369th Infantry A. A. at the armory last Friday night. Ritola's time for the full distance was 14:11 and his record-breaking performance for the 5,000 yards was 13:29 4-5, which is 9 1-5 seconds faster than the previous mark which he himself established in 1925. Ritola also betterte the three-mile outdoor mark set by Nurmti by two-fifths of a second. Vincent Lally, of the Columbus council of the Knights of Colum- bius, defeated Pinky Sober, of the Holy Name Club, in the Chaplain- William H. Brooks Memorial Special 500-yard race. After trailing for all but the final five feet of the race, Lally unleashed a final burst of speed to overtake Sober to win by a foot. Lally's time was 1:02 35. William Warden, of the 101st Signal Battalion, edged out Phil Edwards for first prize in the 1,000- yard run. This was the third time in less than a week that Warden turned in a victory. On Saturday Warden won the thousand at the Masonic games and on Wednesday he triumphed in the half-mile at the Mechanics' meet. An accident eliminated Randy Taylor, of Tufts College, New England A. A. U. sprint titleholder, in the semifinals of the 70-year handicap dash. Taylor, favorite to come through with an easy victory, was forced out of the running when he tripped and fell, sustaining a slight injury. Bernard Blanchard, of Textile High School, with a handicap of nine feet, won the event in 0:07 3-5. Jerome Otttle, St. Bonaventure College, with a nine-foot handicap, was second, and Bernard Dietz, unattached, six feet, was third. The 880-yard novice event was won by Grant Farrell, Manhattan College, James Dewey, Lincoln was second, and James McKenzie, unattached, third. The time was 2:08 4-5.

On the first day Colonel Strothers' Harrisburg Giants will travel to Hildale Park and pry open the lid with the Hildale Club. At Mount Holly, N. J., Dick Lundy and his Bachman Giants will help Jim Keenan's Lincoln Giants to usher in the season at the New Jersey town. The following day the Sunday parks will get under way, with the Cubans playing their first games in Newark, a double-header with the Brooklyn Royal Giants at David's Stadium. Harrisburg Giants go to Baltimore for a twin bill with the Black Sox and Hildale will play a brace of contests against the Lincoln Giants at Catholic Protectory in New York. Down in Atlantic City the Bacharach Giants, champions of last season, are making every effort to repeat their performance. The Bees, with an already balanced ball club, have been scouring the country for additional talent to make the seashore contingent more formidable. And when Bacharach owners found out that Jesse Hubbard, the former Brooklyn Royal star was loose on the market, they lost no time in signing him to a Bee contract. The addition of Hubbard to the club will give them additional hitting strength as well as a good outfielder. Hubbard, a former pitcher, was converted into a fly claser when his arm went bad. However, should the big Texan regain the cunning of his good right arm, then the Atlantic City team has made a ten strike. The Cuban Stars left for Havana, Monday, April 18, and arrived in New York on 21st. The Stars will get their "sea legs" off in practice around Greater New York. Senior Pompey team was a real contender last season and several new men will be found on the roster in an effort to add more power to the Cuban entry, Izquierdo in a new catcher, will help out the dependable Fernandez to handle the pitchers, Qliquame Valdez is a newcomer on the pitching staff and Monto will replace Portuonoog on the hot corner. Colonel Strothers' Harrisburg Stats are beginning to resemble the Baltimore Black Sox, due to the fact that several of the former box have drifted up to the Pennsylvania Capital and are laboring for the corrupt Colonel. With Beck leading the way Connie Day is the next one swapped to Harrisburg; now "Heavy" Johnson, big outfielder, and Bill Mungtn, eight handed pitcher, both released by Baltimore, have found a place on the Harrisburg pay roll.

Big Leaguers in Double Header at the Oval Sunday The Eastern Colored Baseball League will open its fifth season in New York Sunday afternoon, May 1, with a double-header between the Lincoln Glants and Hilldale, at the home grounds of the Lincoln, the Catholic Protectory Oval, 177th street near Tremont avenue. Several extra features have been planned for the opening and a number of public officials are expected to be present. In the lineup of the local team will be Montalvo, outfield star, formerly with the Cuban Stars of Chicago and who is now a storm center in the official circles of the two leagues. George Fial, popular local athlete, will play shortstop for the Lincoln, and there will be the regulars—George Scales, "Rube" Chambers, Mason and "Pop Lloyd," who along with John McGraw is celebrating his twenty-fifth year in professional baseball. The visitors will have their regular team, minus "Bizz" Mackey, star catcher, who is now playing ball in the Orlent. Joe Lewis, former catcher, is again the regular backstop for Hilldale. "Nip" Winters and "Red" Ryan, two of the best hurlers in the league, will probably be on the mound for Hilldale Sunday.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1927 Crack Hilldale Nine Stumps Famous Bushwicks on Sunday Crack Hilldale Nine Stumps Famous Bushwicks on Sunday Pennsylvanians Took Both Ends of Double Header After Queens Borough President Threw Ball That Started the Game It is quite probable that the Bushwicks will decide next year to officially open their season with their first game and let it go at that, for on Sunday, at Dexter Park, after Maurice Connolly, Borough President of Queens, threw out the first ball, the Bushwicks went out and lost two games to the Hilldale Club of Darby, Pa., and their winning streak ended at four games. The Rosner-Strong aggregation put up a stiff fight before having its streak checked, losing the opener by a score of 3 to 2, but it seemed to have been sadly affected by the incident, dropping the second game by a score of 5 to 1. A crowd of 10,000 frantic fans, undaunted by the chilly weather, turned out for the inaugural ceremonies, which consisted of a march to the flagpole where Old Glory was unfurled, while the members of both teams stood with heads bared and the St. John's Home band rendered the National Anthem. The Bushwicks were resplendent in new uniforms. The blow that ended the Bushwicks' winning streak was one that does not come more than two or three times a year at Dexter Park. Nap Winters, the team's hurler, added insult to injury and put the finishing and crowning touch to a masterpiece of pitching by belting one of Carl Dletjen's offerings over the right-field fence for a home run. It came in the seventh inning with the Hildales leading by 2 to 1. The Bushwicks scored in the eighth, which only served to emphasize that Winters' four-ply clout had let the cat out of the bag. Irving's Speed Aids Bushwicks. The Kandy Kids were held to five singles and they would not have scored a run had it not been for the speedy base running of Jimmy Irving in the first inning. He forced China Boy Lai, who got on through a pass, stole second and then pilfered third, while Winters was leading up to the act of walking Joe Welss. Irving scored on Eddie Gerner's sacrifice fly. The boys tied it up in the third inning. Winters walked and went to third on Warfield's double after Briggs popped to Lai. Carr hit to McVoy, whose throw to Lai nailed. Warfield at third and Winters scored. Weiss' fumble gave the Darbyites their second run in the sixth frame. After Warfield fanned Carr doubled to left and went to third on Johnson's infield out. Thomas then rapped one at Welss, who messed it up long enough to allow Carr to cross the plate. Came the seventh with Winters' home run. In the eighth, Irving beat out an infield hit, reached third on Gerner's single and tallled on McVoy's sacrifice fly to Warfield in short center. Dieten twirled a good game for the Bushwicks, allowing seven hits, but his customary wildness was on display, five Hildales drawing free tickets to first. The Hildales got all that eventually proved necessary in the third inning of the nightcap, when Briggs' single and doubles by Warfield, Johnson and Thomas combined to give them three runs. Red Ryan, on the mound for the visitors, had only one bad inning, and that was the Bushwicks' half of the third. Lai walked and was forced by Weiss after Irving fanned. Weiss stole second and went to third when Lewis threw past Warfield. Gerner walked and McVoy singled to center, scoring Weiss. Boeppler, the Bushwicks' starting pitcher, was knocked out of the box in the fifth round. Briggs popped to Weiss. Warfield beat out a bunt. Carr filed to Dean. Johnson tripled to deep righth-center, scoring Warfield. Thomas singled, tallying Johnson. Hockenbury replaced Boeppler at this juncture and the first batter he faced. Washington, nicked him for a single, the only blow he permitted the Hilldales during his five and one-third innings on the mound. Warfield and Briggs played great ball for the Hilldales in both games. Warfield got two hits in each tilt and accepted seventeen chances at second base. Briggs got three hits and took in seven in right field. Totals.....26 1 1 9 27 1 Hilldale.....0 0 3 0 2 0 0 0 0 Arrows: Lewis, Lewis Johnson (3). Stevens, Smith, Twoo, Johnson.

The tenderfoot, a boy who has his first class scout, to know his first to know his Scout law, the Scout oath, the history of his flag, other events, and how to the knots. After thirty days have elapsed he may qualify for his second class test, which consists of how to cook potatoes, pancakes and other Droaking and observation. his ability to cover a mile in 12 minutes are also included. After 60 days the Scout is qualified for his first class test, if he proves his ability to swim 50 yards, to be thrifty, to cook, to know the leaves and trees of nature, to know how to draw a map, to walk 15 miles and to make a hike. These things are included in the Scout program. Merit badges are the next thing a Scout wishes to possess after passing his first class test, to become a Star Scout, a Lite Scout, and then to become an Eagle Scout. Then other boys in what he has learned. In Scouting a reliable Scout never stays still. He is always alert to pass a certain test, to show his Scoutmaster or his brother Scout his ability. He tries to abide by his law of trustworthiness, loyalty, selflessness, friendliness, courtesy, kindness, obedience, cheerfulness, thriftiness, bravery, cleanliness and reverence. Well, Scouts, May 1 will soon be here. Easter Ege Hunt. Monday night was a big night for Scouts of Troop 776. Mr. Cobb, their Scoutmaster, staged a dressing contest. The winner was wearing Easter eggs for his quick- ness. The Scout was an Easter egg hunt. It was for those Scouts looking all over the church for those eggs. Well, they looked and looked, but no eggs were to be found. Mr. Cobb almost cracked his side laughing. They said they could they couldn't find any Easter eggs. A cake was on the table and it looked so good the Scouts were all rubbing the stomachs, but that was all. Finally the cake was cut by Mr. Seens and there in the cake the eggs were in. The bunny had laid them there. Well, yum, the cake and eggs were eaten up to the Scouts' content. Well, Scouts, summer will soon find you out in the open—not day hiking, but staying in the woods overnight. Some scouts will have a pup tent while others will make themselves a bed from the boughs and leaves of a tree, with the sky above. On the ground as their floor, the moon shines. Some Scouts could grab their knapsacks right now, when it comes to talking about pancakes and flapjacks, which are something the hardtack when they are done. Beans and potatoes are also included in our menu; but what kind of beans? Well, just say Campbell's and add the beans onto it. Now, get set and go! We now have 20 months before all this eating comes off. Then our stomachs will begin to puff out and go down again after we've walked about ten miles. We see sorry, now. You will have to wipe your feet up; only 20 more miles to go. Equipment. The equipment for an overnight hike is follows: Pup must eat kit, canteen, two blankets, kit, spoon, and cup, flashlight, towel, soap, toothbrush, tooth paste, notebook and pencil, bathing suit, raincoat or suit, uniform or suit, and some games. The following are for patrol leaders only: Knife, axe, rope, first-aid kit, notebook and pencil, hat, badge, troop numeral, whistle (no Scout coats), shoes (tan), and compass.

For Rome is not only the capital of Christianity, but it is also that of Western art and Western civilization. Before I attempt anything, let me tell a rather interesting incident that took place on the way from Napoleon in the compartment in which I was were live others — a French lady and four Italians, all Fascists. As it happened, all spoke French, and as the Latin is far less formal than the American or the Englishman, we were soot in friendly conversation. The Italians had warmed up to me immediately, as I spoke well of Mussolini — indeed, I had better speak well of him. For hours things went on like this until two Germans, a man and his wife, entered the compartment, when suddenly there was a hush and a constraint. The effect was precisely as if the scene were in the smoker of a white Pullman car in the South and a Negro had entered as a passenger. AFTER MARCUS GARVEY- WHAT The Germans, apparently feeling as uneasy as the Negro would have been in the white smoker, kept to themselves, speaking in low tones in their own language—the only outside remark being addressed to myself when the man wanted the loan of a French newspaper I had on the table. To me with no ill-will towards Germans in particular, the situ- 'Dissension Within U. N. I. A. Ranks Caused Garvey's Downfall' (Continued) A TTHIS stage Mr. Garvey appeared to be a crass pragmatist, relying wholly upon the instrumentality of material agencies to accomplish his remote spiritual objective. He hoped to develop race consciousness through race patronage and co-operative enterprise. Grocery stores, laundries, restaurants, hotels and printing plants were organized under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. These all failed as fast as they were founded. But the fanatic is never daunted by failure. How Mr. Garvey could hope that the operation of a few shops in Harlem could seriously affect the fate of the continent of Africa surpasses normal human understanding. But no whit abashed by the failure of his business ventures, the undaunted dreamer forthwith proceeded to launch the "Black Star Line" of steamships to trade with the West Indies and with the continent of Africa, a stupendous, folly. The combined genius and wealth of Africa has not been able to operate competitive ocean-carrying trade. But the fanaticism and faith of Marcus Garvey performed miracles in inspiring his followers with confidence and zeal for the impossible. As fast as one steamship failed they were ready to provide for another. After all, there may be subtle method in Mr. Garvey's seeming madness. It is easier to focus attention upon a concrete project than upon an abstract ideal. A line of stealthships touching African and West Indian ports, conveying not only material merchandise but also the propaganda of racial unity, was calculated to make a powerful appeal to the mind and imagination of his sophisticated followers. Any duetrindire reformer runs a great risk when he ventures the success or failure of his propaganda upon a single pitch and throws involved in a conifer enterprise.

It had spread among the Negroes like wildfire. The Tud THE EDITOR DEAN KELLY MILLER versal Negro Improvement Association claimed an enrolment of four million members. Continued at first chiefly to West Indians, it swiftly overran that limitation and had taken in many native born Afro-Americans and reinforcements from foreign countries. The movement appealed most strongly to the humber and less well-educated of the race This line of cleavage followed somewhat closely the intra-racial color scheme and included a far larger number of the darker than of the lighter shades. It gave rise to the charge that Marcus Garvey was attempting to draw the color line against the mutal-to in favor of the fuller-blooded West Indian and American Negroes. The imputation was indignantly denied, with insistence upon the absolute equality of all shades without prejudice against or preference for any hue. Money flowed into his coffers. The "Black Star Flag" was still flying upon the sea. The new gospel proclaimed not only the redemption of Africa, but the welding into homogeneous political, economic and social unity the four hundred million persons of African blood now scattered abroad among the nations of the earth. Available statistics fail to account for more than half of that number of Africans, direct or derivative; but statistics never please the fanatic. The time had now arrived for a spectacular demonstration. If the Kingdom of Africa is at hand. PETER H. J. A. Rogers sowls, as if to say that it wasn't the proper thing to show approval of Germans. Later when the Germans had left one of the Fascists made a remark which had a quite familiar ring for me; he said that that species of "cochon" (swine) shouldn't have been permitted to ride among decent people, while the French lady, who happens to be from Morocco, thanked heaven that Germans weren't permitted there or in any part of French African territory. Leaving the friends at home to draw their own moral I will go on to speak of Rome. Rome is a very fine, clean city, and though very old, has a somewhat modern appearance. His immediacy must be impressed upon expectant devotees by some form of visible inauguration. Mr. Carvey called a convention of the faithful to meet in New York City for the entire month of August. This was to be an all-African council. Delegates were invited from all parts of the world where peoples of African blood were known to reside. Thousands of representatives responded to the call. There has never been such an assemblage of African representatives at any time or place within the annals of recorded history. The procession through the streets of New York formed a spectacle unrivalled in the history of Negro pageantry. The deliberations of the gathering consisted in the glorification of Carvey and the ratification of his plans and policies. Garvey, the black, was monarch of all that he surveyed. No Negro has ever reached such a plumme of renown with so great a following in his feet. It was in 1321 in the presence of six thousand of his followers and admirers in "Liberty Hut" that he proceeded to the formal inauguration of the Empire of Africa. Garvey himself was crowned President-General of the United Negro Improvement Association and Provisional President of Africa, who with one Potentate and one Supreme Deputy Potentate constituted the royalty of the Empire of Africa. Knights of the Nile, Knights of the Distinguished Service Order of Ethiopia and Dukes of the Niger and of Uganda constituted the nobility. The August Court was set up and actually functioned for several years, with all of the tinsel, glory and barbaric splendor of oriental pomp and display. The Negro's penchant for mime display, gay regalia and titled dignitaries was abundantly appeased. But pride goeth before a fall. The inevitable end was near. Dissension broke out within the ranks. The question of who shall sit on the right hand and on the left hand in the kingdom always precipitates, unfriendly rivalry among the disciples. Internal dissensions, however, were easily settled by the last word of the President-General. Mr. Garvey's personal authority so far transcended that of his following that no other name than his figures conspicuously in the movement. The Afro-American intelligence rose up in righteous rage and disgust at what seemed to be the absurd and ridiculous antics of this half-educated West Indian upstart. There exists fundamental opposition between the philosophy of Marcus Garvey and that of the educated American Negro leaders. Their whole teaching is based upon equality of the races which they hope to THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1927 Bu J. A. ROGERS have discovered that the best way, for more reasons than one, is to do these cities on foot. First it saves the argument you are sure to have with the guide or cab-driver, unless you are prepared to give him just double what he asked you. Tourists, sooner or later, learn that the original price asked at a hotel or almost any similar place is only the hors d'oeuvre. You'll be lucky if it isn't double before you're through. So shunning the numerous guides and others, who at this stage of the game are most polite and eager to do business with me, I started out on foot. Passing magnificent homes and fine gardens I came to a park where I saw a white nurse leading by the hand two little boys, one white, the other dark, and plainly of Negro ancestry. He was dressed in a jaundy sailor suit and carried a cane. Both apparently belonged to a good family or families and, anxious to learn more, I spoke to them, but unfortunately I know no Italian. My next thrill was in arriving at the Campidoglio, or Capitol, built on one of the famous Seven Hills. It is now a remarkably fine square with time-stained statues, the central figure being that of Marcus Aurelius on horseback. Here it was that Julius Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Pompey, Cato and Cataline all held forth. And right here it will be necessary to issue warning that in this and ensuing articles I am likely to get far away from the color question for the simple reason that there is none here. The few Negroes here, mostly Abyssinians and Somalis, live precisely as white people, and if you're an American, black or white, you're likely to find the best hotels and the best of every "Educated Afro-Americans Have Little Interest in Africa" enforce by appeal to the white man's conscience, reason and aroused sense of righteousness. Mr. Garvey believes that the racial prejudice of the Anglo-Saxon is so deeply imbedded in acquired emotions, if not in natural instinct, that no amount of moral sausage or coercive force which the Negro can command will have any sensible effect upon it. He believes that race consciousness is likely to become keener and more exclusive, and that the opportunities of the white men's civilization will be reserved more and more for the sons and daughters of their own kith and kin. He looks upon the struggle for racial equality as futile and hopeless. He preaches that the Negro must build on his own basis apart from the white man's foundation if he ever hopes to be a master builder. He, therefore, urges the race to look to the land of their mothers across the sea for future growth and expansion. In the United States the African sojourners will never be permitted to rise above the level of bowers of wood and drawers of water. It is said that he sought conferences with the rulers of the Ku Klux Klan, and found himself in accord with the hooded order on this basic proposition of racial relations, though each side reached the same conclusion by different processes of reasoning. This doctrine of inevitable subordination, naturally enough, aroused the bitterest antagonism of the Afro-American leaders who have staked all their hopes on the opposite proposition. Again, Mr. Garvey believes, with frenzled fanaticism, in the continent of Africa as the destined end and way of all the scattered fragments of the black race who are now sojourning among the whiter nations of the earth. The educated Afro-American has little interest and no enthusiasm for his motherland. Frederick Douglass epitomized this sentiment in the sententious saying: "I have none of the banana in me." Dr. DuBois has been trying for a number of years to promote a Pan-African Congress for the discussion of the race question on a world-wide scale. 'There are probably not half a dozen educated Negroes in America who have enriched any genuine enthusiasm or passionate interest for Garvey's proposition. The native-born, educated Negro resents as a reflection upon his American birthright any suggestion that he has a special and peculiar interest in the dark continent from --- thing being wished on to you, as the popular belief is that all Americans are like the Treasury at Washington, bursting with gold. Besides, getting away from the color question for a while will do us a world of good; at least, it has been of tremendous psychologic benefit to me in the last month or so. Already I'm beginning to feel that I am a human being again and not a problem. Leaving the Capitol, I came to the Quirinal, near which is the King's palace and the monument to Victor Emanuel II, and the Unknown Soldier, which is said to be second to none in all Europe. All around this vicinity are the remains of ancient Rome, arches, columns, and a part of the old wall, along which once bristled the defenders of Rome, but which now serve as foundations for modern homes. My next thrill is on coming on the famous Tiber (Flume Tevere) made famous in our day by Shakespeare in Julius Caesar. The Tiber is a rapid-flowing river, and is spanned by magnificent bridges, from which one gets a splendid view of the surrounding buildings. The most striking of these is the Castel San Angelo, a formidable looking fortress, built in 131 A.D. This castle is noted for its famous sieges, and for the tradition that the Archangel Michael once appeared over its great dome to Pope Gregory the Great, to assure him that a plague then ravaging Rome would be stayed. One hears many of that sort of things here; but more of that later. Looking away from the Castel San Angelo, I spy a towering dome, and a thrill tells me that there's St. Peter, the largest -:- Kappa Guides Right -:- "College Trained Man's 15-Year Income Eight Times That of Grammar School Graduate" THE Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity annually devotes this week to its nation-wide Guide Right Movement, the purpose of which is to make clear and vivid to the high school senior the advantages which he will gain from higher education. Investigation by educational experts has revealed the fact that many students abandon the classroom immediately after graduation from the graded school. To rectify this condition, the junior high school program was evolved and put into effect. This intermediary stage between the grammar and high school is proving an immense success, in that it not only affords the public school graduate an idea of the method and content of high school training, but it also makes attractive to the stu which his blood was derived in whole or in part. At the climax of antagonism, Mr. Garvey took up the apotheosis of blackness as offset to the existing defilement of whiteness. He would have God painted black. This caused a violent revulsion of feeling on the part even of black men who had become habituated to bow down and worship at the shrine of a color alien to their own. Mr. Garvey believed that not only do gods always make men in their own image, but that man, in his turn, makes God in his own likeness. Every race ascribes to its delity its own physical, mental and moral peculiarities carried to the higher power of perfection. Mr. Garvey believes that the adoption of the color and racial characteristics of the white man's portrayal of God paralyzes the Negro's racial self-respect. This was an audacious innovation in the sphere of Negro thought and sensibilities which the intelligentsia had never had either the passion or the discernment to consider. They simply hold up their hands in frantic disgust at such a revolting blasphemy. (To be continued.) --- By EMILE HOLLEY Christian church in the world, and the foundation stone of the Christian religion. I start out eagerly straight toward it, but do not reckon on the winding streets of Europe, and after walking nearly two miles I find myself back at the Tiber. This time I inquire "San Pietro" in my best Italian of passersby, and reach it in a few minutes. The first thing that strikes me is the magnificent square with its colonnade leading to the very wide steps of the church. The colonnade is in two sweeps of 142 columns each, with 90 pillars and 192 statues of saints, each 16 feet high. In the center of the square, or piazza, as it is called, is a towering Egyptian obelisk, with two magnificent fountains on either side, spouting water high into the air. But one must be sparing of praise for the outside, or how shall one ever find words to speak of the interior, where I arrive after successfully dodging the reception committee of guides and vendors of post cards and trinkets, who are awaiting me. What a fine place Italy would be if it weren't for these hordes of pests to disturb one's thoughts at each important place! But I suppose they have as much a right to try to make a living as I have to wish not to be disturbed. I shall certainly not attempt to give a description of the interior of St. Peter's, except to say in the most unqualified terms that it is the grandest, most thrilling, most satisfying sight I have ever behold. I have seen some of the most magnificent creations of man and of nature, but never anything to use. It all the adjectives denoting wonder, magnificence, beauty and one would dent the vast possibilities of the well-educated man. The forerunner of the junior high school is the preparatory school, which bridges the gap between high school and college. Unfortunately for the Negro, this excellent institution requires an extraordinary expenditure—training in most preparatory schools being higher than in the M. B. Emile T. Holley average college. Mercersburg and Andover, two of the leading institutions of this type, state in their catalogs that the aim of the preparatory school is to introduce college subjects taught by college methods with the purpose of presenting to the high school graduate the values of college training. For financial reasons, this highly desirable course is seldom taken by Negroes. Now are the students greatly added by their high school instructors in regard to the choice of college and subjects, for the teachers are far too busy to spare time for this project, invaluable though it may be. Realizing these difficulties, the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity has organized a three-fold plan: To have talks with high school seniors in order to give them a clear and vivid picture of college education and its values; to aid and urge them in the selection of subjects that will prepare them for a definite position or profession after graduation from college; and to provide worthy students with scholarships in order that they may achieve the heights which a liberal education offers them. In an article so brief as this it is not possible to give an adequate picture of college subjects, college methods, and their consequent values. It is, nevertheless, possible to indicate some of the general values of college SPECIAL ARTICLES St. Peter's the Most Thrilling Sight He Has Ever Beheld, Rogers Writes St. Peter's the Most Thrilling Sight He Has Ever Beheld, Rogers Writes --- still be far away from doing it a scintilla of justice, for is it not the handiwork itself of the greatest geniuses of the human race—artists, sculptors, designers—for more than six hundred years? Verily, the men who designed this noble structure had something else on their brain besides the Charleston, black bottom, the numbers, the baseball and football scores. "Nigger Heaven," "Fine Clothes to the Jew," and the piffling, cabaretly stuff that white publishers in America would pln our Negro writers and thinkers down to. I felt indeed that my fellow Negroes are as capable of doing as fine things as this, had they but the vision and the ambition, for was it not our earliest Negro ancestors that laid the foundation for all this, especially in Egypt, from which most of Western art is derived? Byron wrote: "While the Coliseum stands, Rome stands." To me, Catholism, as well as Protestantism, mean as little as Mohammedanism—I believe that all have served their day—but I feel like saying in a similar vein: "While St. Peter's stands the Catholic Church stands." The poor Kluxers in America, buried in their little holes, simply don't know what they're up against. One feels that even the Imperial Wizard himself education and touch briefly on one of the various professions. Money being a most important item in the sustenance of a happy and successful life, it might be well to note the financial value of college education. Several years ago a survey of salaries revealed the fact that the boy entering' the business world with merely a grammar school education earned, over a period of fifteen years, not quite half as much as the high school graduate. In a similar investigation it was demonstrated that the college man's salary was approximately triple that of the high school man. The man of professional training topped the list. To be sure, the college graduate enters business at a later period, but statistics prove his work to be less arduous and eventually far more profitable. In many other vital points it can be proved very easily that in all probability the college breed man has the advantage over those of lesser training. An outstanding instance is that of civili honors and duties. At election time it is natural and wise to vote for the man whom you feel to be best fitted to represent you and your ideals. For proof you may turn to your aldermen, assemblymen, and organization leaders. Do they not substantiate the statement that the best trained men win the community responsibilities and honors? Nestled in the constitution of every individual are certain hidden values, which, by the application of the proper stimuli, may be aroused to activity. It is the chief purpose of the Guide Right Movement to find these hidden values of the individual, to supply the appropriate stimulant and to help him to direct his training on those lines. If we conceive a happy and useful life to be the flower of education, it is obvious that we must have a definite program. Certainly, the profession of teaching offers ample opportunity for one to be both happy and useful. Who is there who has a better opportunity than the teacher for formulating high ideals and instilling lofty standards of thought and conduct in our young citizens of tomorrow. To this educational leadership the Negro is challenged. Will he passively admit defeat and inferiority? For the white race considers him as excellent with his hands, but a decided weakling with his head. The Nordic says: "The Negro can scrub, cook, nurse and perform incomparably well all the simpler manual tasks. He is, however, not a thinker, certainly not a leader of thought." Only the cowardly moron would allow this egistic challenge to pass: ours being neither a race of morons nor cowards, we must hurl defiance into their faces by supplying the American schools would have great difficulty in concealing his admiration for this temple of beauty to which Catholics come by the hundreds of thousands annually from all parts of the world as Mohammedans go to Mecca. Among the noteworthy things in this cathedral are the great dome with its beautiful ornamentation, up at which one looks 450 feet; the Clementine Chapel, with a mosaic showing the saint drawing blood from a linen cloth; the Papal Altar and the bronze statue of St. Peter, the right foot of which is worn smooth by the kisses of devotees in the last fifteen hundred years. As for me, I contented myself by watching others in line doing so for more reasons than one. St. Peter's is built on the spot on which the Apostle Peter is buried. The Popes are his direct spiritual descendants, and in my next article I will endeavor to show how this forlorn hope of early Christians, headed by Peter and Paul, were able to overthrow the might of Imperial Rome, because of the firm faith in the justice of their cause and the zeal with which they worked in trying to bring it about. Truly there is hope for the Negro or any other persecuted group who will but go about to get what they want as if they meant it. Must Meet Challenge of Educational Leadership or Admit Defeat and Inferiority Must Meet Challenge of Educational Leadership or Admit Defeat and Inferiority with teachers at least as efficient as white teachers, and in as large a percentage as is in keeping with our population. Such an action is no idle gesture, no mere bravado. It is vital and valuable to our race, for the excellent salaries, especially in such cities as New York, Washington, and Indianapolis, provide a source of adequate income for our scholars. The opportunities, moreover, of inspiring Negro students to scholastic achievement by the living example of Negro teachers is immense in its potentialities for advancement. An added advantage of teaching is that the shortness of the school day and season offers splendid opportunity for that leisure which is so essential to the cultivation of the various arts. If for no other reason than to establish our mental equality and leadership with the white race we should furnish our quota of teachers. The Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, being thoroughly convinced of the mental equality of the races, and being equally certain that a large body of capable trained Negroes will prove this fact to the world, urges high school seniors on to the heights of success and glory which be along the road of a college education.

Bruce Republican Club, 350 Cumberland street, were crowded on Friday evening. April 15, with members of the Society of the Son of North Carolina, when William H. Banks, the president, and an entire staff of officers were again installed. All officers were unanimously re-elected at the 200 annual election which was held recently. Elias Balsley Smith was the installing officer. Those installed were: William H. Banks, president; Benjamin H. Williams, vice-president; Samuel, Taylor, financial secretary; Lorenz Kennedy, correspondence secretary; Dennis C. Etheridge, recording secretary; E. L. Faulcon, treasurer, and William Lusac, chaplain. John D. Nixon was installed as chairman of the board of directors. Prior to the installation of officers, the regular monthly meeting of the organization was held. Plains were made for a public reception and dinner which will be held in May. At this time the officers will be introduced to the public. The Society of the Sons of North Carolina is one of the oldest and wealthiest organizations in the state that is composed exclusively of natives of one state. It is thirty-two years old. Last year they sold their house on Bridge street for over $22,000. This money was invested in property in St. James place. Recently the members abolished the death assessment Some well known Brooklynites have acted as president of the society, among them being the late Lewis Bryant, Lorenzo Kennedy, Paul Jones, and William Henry, Benjamin Williams, David B.

Authorities in Brooklyn Continue on Trail of "Numbers" Men The class of clothing that the state has provided for Delacey Smith, the "Bolito King," does not suit him according to reports, several weeks ago he wrote Mrs. Smith to that effect and she carried his silk pajamas to him and also some grapefruit, but the Warden would not let him use them. The number king, who is said to have accumulated over $250,000 out of his nefarious game, has been assigned to the coal pile at Welfare Island. He received an indeterminate sentence of from eight months to three years recently. The police are still after the number men in Brooklyn, for on Friday afternoon, April 22, they made raids in the downtown section and arrested quite a few runners. One man attempted to get away and was only stopped when the police fired several shots over his head. The District Attorney states that he wants to get the big men and not the little men, but most of the men arrested will not reveal who employs them, so they are sent away, generally getting ninety days. They do about seventy-five days, getting time off for good behavior. Very few cease to act as runners after they come out. It is reported that they have a new way of concealing the sips that they collect. One of the ways is to have their coats so made that they can carry the papers in the cuffs.

Z. Koo in addressing an audience composed of students and teachers of the Bordentown Manual Training School, as well as white and colored townspeople. The distinguished visitor, who is representing in this country some fifty guilds, banks and commercial organizations of China, and who is one of the leaders of political thought in China, spoke along the lines of his article on the Chinese Nationalist movement which appeared in the New York Sunday Times. He described the growth of national spirit in the Chinese republic and appealed for the sympathy and help of the Negro in America in behalf of that movement. In part, he said: "The use of armed force in China by any of the powers is certainly not justified by present conditions. There is no antiforeign feeling in China as such, but merely a desire on the part of its people to redeem those rights which are theses by every moral law, but which have been stolen by the powers of the world. Retention by the United States of its naval and marine force in our country might easily bring matters to a standstill. But we would find itself at war without having declared it. And yet we are not discouraged. In fact, I think it should be an inspiration to your own people, the Negroes of this country, to follow the success of the Chinese group and to note their confident hope in spite of the difficulties that assail them." Kao Koo paid high tribute to Dr. King of Gammon Seminary in Atlanta, who was a delegate some years ago to the World Student Christian Federation which met in Peking. No delegate from a foreign country was present. He impress on the affections of Chinese members, and the effect of his personality is still remembered in that country.

Aged Servant Wins $24,000 Back Pay Amount Represents Salary for Her Lifetime Service in Family MAYSVILLE, Mo., April 25.—Sarah Duncan, 65-year-old servant, was awarded $24,000 by a jury in Circuit Court here Wednesday afternoon from the H. Clay Duncan estate of Osborn, Mo. The jury deliberated about five hours, returning, with a 10-2 verdict. When the verdict was read in court many of those who had attended the trial gathered about the elderly woman and congratulated her. The woman, originally had sued for $80,000, the amount which she claimed was due her for life wages in the Duncan hold. Under the statute of 1865 interest, could not be compounded on money due through a verbal contract, and the petition of the plaintiff was amended, cutting the sum asked from $80,000 to $24,000, the amount claimed to be due her. During the trial of the case the defendant, Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan, widow of Colonel Duncan, was placed on the stand and testified that no contract, either written or verbal, had existed between her husband and Sarab. Other witnesses included Mrs. Lulu Edwards of St. Louis, a daughter of Colonel Duncan, Mrs. Susan Thompson of Portland, a daughter of Mrs. Naunie Lyons of Kansas City, a third daughter; the Rev. Frank Loose of Liberty, Mo, and T. R. Shields of Kansas City, Mrs. Lina Gosnell of Pasadena, Cal., although present at the trial, did not testify. The Solution.

The basketball game between Harlem Five and the Athenians (Greeks) of Baltimore at Richmond Market Armory Easter Monday night was before an audience at home team to get roped for their home team to get roped for Gotham boys who overwhelmingly defended the Greeks early in the season at the New Albert Auditorium. The strategy of Coach Howard Wright was deserving of great credit for taking an opportune adder to the Gotham's great star, "Stretch" Grant. The coach substituted Morgant's shifty star, young Sheffey, in the place of Dr. Bill Harris, who was forced to be at home, due to the illness of his wife. The shift was made by the Greeks downed the Gothamans to the tune of 33 to 23. Sheffey accepting twenty-one chances and making nineteen baskets, which has never been surpassed by any basketball player here this season. He was only assisted by Simpson. He was barely a whole unit of the Greeks. Wheatley, the jumping center, also pooled seven points. The play of Gotham was in every way good, but the audience could see the lack of their great strength. "Stretch" Grant, Garcia, Hubbard, Mondell and Moton played a great show for their team, but could not overcome the strength of the Greeks, which was wonderful that night.

An people of Washington today, tonight, might not be able to appreciate these modern verses any more than they. The old gentleman would certainly be shocked trying to find beauty in the idea of selling his "fine clothes to the Jew" for $1.50 and investing the proceeds in bootleg gin. Had the $1.50 been spent for ham and eggs or coffee and waffles to sustain life, perhaps the "best" folks of Washington might find the same poetic beauty in "Fine Clothes to the Jew" that they find in Committee Cullen's "I Have a Rendezvous With Life." However, as young Hughes has the admiration, support and encouragement of the Nordic group, who, perhaps, know more about real poetry and poetic beauty than our group, he should give little concern to the "unaccented" few of Washington who fail to measure up to his standards of poetic appreciation. C. G. ALLEN DISCUSSES FOLK MUSIC IN ARTICLE Cleveland G. Allen, student of Negro folk lore, has contributed in the May issue of Current History Magazine an article on Negro music, in which he traces the historical development of folk music from its earliest stages to the present. The article discusses the classification of the Negro folk songs, giving examples of each type. 2293 SEVENTH AVE. Colorful News "Movies" By THE CAMERAMAN PRESTON NEWS SERVICE Uncultured Washingtonians LANGSTON HUGHES, youthful poet, and son of the late John Mercer Langston, has bereated the "frost" people of Washington as uncultured, and not loyal supporters of the young geniuses of their race. Mr. Hughes' bitter criticism would be regrettable, but coming from one so nexperienced in years and social contact it loses much of its sting. The young man seems peeved because the "uncultured" Washington folk, despite their love and gratitude for Lord Dunbar's poetry, fail to recognize the beauty and mastic harmonies in Jean Founer's "Crus" and his own "T: Worry Lines" and "The Cliffs" to the Jew. Perhaps, if the venerable old patrarch of this young man's family were still with the "best" EDITORIAL PAGE paper's duty to print the news as it was the duty of the offender to protect those near to him by doing nothing that would cause them pain or sorrow. He tries to shift the responsibility to the paper instead of recognizing his own. One individual's conduct brings him into contact with prohibition officers. He has read scores of like stories; but when his appears he cancels his advertising contract. Another has an unfortunate incident at his home that injures someone else and arouses outside interest. He cancels his advertising contract when the news is printed. A third violates a traffic rule, and when the public is told about it he stops taking the paper, "Which is a yellow rag, anyhow." None of them considers that no reputable newspaper attempts to sell its circulation or advertising space on anything but merit, that it believes it is giving money's worth, and that the cancellation is doing more damage to the person who loses the space or the paper than to the publication, if he needed it in the first place. A newspaper must have and follow rules governing the character of the matter it publishes in its news columns. The best rule we know anything about is to print whatever has news value, no matter who is concerned in it, without fear or favor. We aim to print all the news that is fit to print, just as we aim to make our paper worth the subscription price and our advertising worth the space rate. It it's news, we must print it. And we must decide what is news.—Marietta (Ohio) Times. WE CAN'T SUPPRESS NEWS without eventually either suppressing ourselves, or being suppressed. To live and prosper we must be fair to all of our readers, both great and small, rich and poor, educated and uneducated. We have no axes to grind with any individual or organization. We have no chip on our shoulder, except a desire to serve. EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES Sure, Shoot Up the Town two prohibition agents, federal, chase a colored down West 129th street, Manhattan.

Anything goes. (From the Daily News) Urban League's Report on Industry Employment improved somewhat during March, the advance coming late in the month. The iron and steel plants, in which a large proportion of Negroes are employed, showed improvement in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Prolonged unemployment periods in the West were eased and the month closed with brighter prospects for April. Conditions Among Negroes. Reports from our associates in scattered parts of the United States tell of unemployment and curtailment in working hours almost without exception. This caused a general restlessness, with the result that workers moved back and forth among cities within easy reach of each other. Baltimore and Columbus, usually fruitful cities for Negro workers and among the last to feel the depression, reported large numbers out of work. Specific reasons were given for the shortage of work among Negroes in certain cities. For instance, in Springfield, Ill., mine lockouts or strikes have forced some 5,000 men out of work, of whom 225 were Negroes; and in Florida work originally done by Negroes is being taken from them and given to whites; and wages have been cut. In Milwaukee the retirement of colored THREE NEW K'S A Famous Negro Violinist By CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE LUDWIG VON BEETHOVEN, the great composer, whose death occurred one hundred years ago and whose music still lives as perhaps the greatest ever penned by human hand, has special interest for the Negro musician, due to the fact that associated with him, both as a friend and as musician, was the Negro violinist, George Augustus Poligreen Bridgetower, son of an African father and German or Polish mother. THESE three K's are correct, and they are Komrades in the West Chester Normal College tight for free speech. These three will stand or fall together; when Kerlin and Kinneman are kicked out, the Constitution is thrown out with them. The Constitution of the United States was made to defend just such liberties as Kerlin and Kinneman were exercising. I know these men. They are my friends, and the friends of all of us, because they believe in justice and equality of opportunity for all. The foundations of this government were laid by that type of manhood, and the structure of the government will be defended by the type of young people represented in the Liberal Club of the West Chester State Normal College.

He became a great favorite in the English capital and was long in the service of the Prince of Wales, afterwards George IV. In 1802 Bridgetower obtained leave of absence to visit his mother at Dresden and to use the house of Toplitz and Carlsbad, where leave was obliged that 'he might spend a few months in Wien, his playing in public and private at Dresden had secured favorable letters of introduction. They gained him a most brilliant reception in the highest musical circles of the Austrian capital. Beethoven, to whom he was introduced by Prince Lichnowsky, readily secured his aid in the public concert. The date of this concert was probably May 24, 1802, when Bridgetower was about 24 years old. The principal item on this program was the now famous "Kreuzer Sonata." This masterpiece had just been completed by Beethoven and was played for the first time at this concert by Bridgetower, with the composer at the piano. Bridgetower, when he was 18 years, talking with Mr. Thirlwall about Beethoven, told him that at the concert the Sonata, Op. 47, was composed he and the composer were constant companions, and that the first copy bore a dedication to him, but before he departed from Vienna they had a quarrel about a girl, and Beethoven then dedicated the work to Rudguth Kreutzer. waiters has been forced by patrons of a large hotel. Organized Labor. Here and there were incidents showing relationship with organized labor. In Baltimore, the Young Workers' Labor Party has been especially active—two colored speakers appearing at its open forum. One-half of the brick masons of Lexington, Ky., who received a raise from $1.25 to $1.50 per hour, were Negroes. In Philadelphia, through the Armstrong Association there, the co-operation of colored employees was sought and secured in a reebot labor dispute between the Manufacturers' Association and the labor forces of that city. FRANK GIBSON GIVES $8,000 TO ALMA MATER HARPERS FERRY, W. Va. April 25. The largest single gift made to Storer College by a Negro man just come to the institution. It will amount to almost $8,000, and is made possible by a bequest from Frank Gibson, a former student of the college. A hard working, frugal man, he denied himself that his small savings might grow and that he might thus pay a debt of gratitude to the school which started him on the upward path. LIVINGSTONE SEEKS $250,000 ENDOWMENT Dr. J. Edward Mason, financial secretary of Livingstone College, passed several days here last week in the interest of the $250,000 endowment drive of Livingstone College, that the college needs that amount for new buildings and other equipments and to meet its growing demands. J. ton. I have looked into the honest faces of those boys and girls and have observed their cagerness to get the truth from any source, even though it contradicted the myths and traditions of their elders. Their brains are not yet concreted and hardened like the brains of some of the officers and trustees of the college. Negro Violinist AMERON WHITE OVEN, the great composer, one hundred years ago and was perhaps the greatest ever special interest for the Neet that associated with him, i.e., the Negro violinist, bridgetower, son of an Afri-lish mother. The subscriptions for the concert amounted to 1,140 florins and the list of patrons was headed by the English envoy. Bridgetower's father was known in England as the "African Prince." How the violinist's father got to Blala in Poland, where Bridgetower was born, or whether his mother was a German or a Pole, remains a mystery which has not been cleared up. A letter written by Abt Vogler dated London, June 6, 1790, says: "Last Wednesday, June 2, I attended a concert in Hanover Square, where two young heroes contested with each other on the violin. The two played concertos alternately and both won the warmest praise. One of the violinists was Clement of Vienna, eight and one-half, and the other Bridgewater of Africa, ten years of age." During Bridgetower's residence in England he played before George III and his court at Windsor Castle. The passport issued to him in Vienna for his return to London describes him as "A musician, native of Poland, age 24 years, medium height, clean shaven, dark brown hair, brown eyes and straight, rather broad nose." He received the degree of Bachelor of Music from the University of Cambridge in 1811. Bridgetower died in London at the age of 78 years (some say 80) honored throughout all Europe. Library Notes Over 300 persons listened to an original and successful children's program at the 135th Street Library on Saturday evening at 8:30. Miss Roberta Bosley, who staged the concert, dramatized six, of Dunbar's poems, which were acted that night. A group of boys dressed as farmers, ranging in age from 9 to 11, sang five spirituals with a deal of feeling, under Miss Bosley's direction. The whole program was well coached and tastefully selected. Perhaps the most interesting number, for certainly it brought the audience, to its feet, was that done by little 4-year-old Jessica Clement Phonon and 6-year-old Michele Robinson and who lived in Dunbar's "Poet and the Baby." Other poems which Miss Bosley dramatized were: "In the Morning," "Life," "A Lullaby," "Little Brown Baby" and "When Malinda Singa." The closing number, "Walked Children, Children," was in pantomime form. There were about thirty-five children in it, ranging in age from 4 to 11. Miss Bosley has been employed at the 135th Street Library for over two years and a half, where she is doing special work with children. CITY FEDERATION TO HOLD MASS MEETING The City Federation of Women's Clubs will hold a mass meeting on Sunday, May 1, at 5 o'clock at M. Olive Baptist Church, the Rev. William Hayes, pastor. The principal speaker will be Dr. Elizabeth Ross Haynes, Solubl, Mrs. Nellie Lofthouse. The public is invited to attend. LETTERS They are the impressionable material out of which "futures" are molded. Such traces of race and class narrowness as may be found among them have been made on them by the control of their mediaeval-minded elders. Sometimes I think the world could be quickly saved if the young people were not compelled to learn certain things against the superstitions of their gathers, not only in West Chester but in all the earth. And may the God of Gideon forward their fight. This Kerlin type of white man—often means what he says in politics and church, and who will not compromise with injustice nor He about his religion—is our pressing need and ultimate hope in both national and international affairs. Kerlin was proven right in Virginia, because the Supreme Court of the nation ultimately freed the twelve colored men against whose threatened execution by the State of Arkansas Kerlin was Kerlin, who will be proven right in this West Chester case by the continued progress of the ideals for which he is sacrificing. Hayes Concludes American Tour Roland Hayes' last appearance in New York until the fall of 1928 was Friday night in Carnegie Hall, when the noted tenor sang, as usual, to a sold-out house; and, as usual also, his program was enthusiastically received. The intervening months will be spent in Europe, where occa- sional recitals will be given. In his recital Friday evening he was accompanied by William Lawrence. A benefit concert for the Harlem Museum of African Art was offered Wednesday night by Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown in Town Hall, H. T. Burleigh, J. Rosamond Johnson and Mr. Brown were represented as arrangers in the spirituals, and Messrs. Burleigh, Johnson and Will Marion Cook were the composers of the dialect songs in the second group. The nucleus of the Harlem Museum is a collection selected from the Blondiaud-Theatre Arts of African Art recently exhibited at the Museum, placed on exhibition in Harlem as a first step in the project of the sponsoring committee, through the co-operation of the Public Library, with the 135th Street Branch as to place of exhibition. J. E. Nail is chairman of the committee; Mrs. R. Osgood Mason, vice-chairman, and Alain Locke, secretary. "Seven Last Words" Presented at Salem "The Seven Last Words of Christ," by Theodore DuBois' were presented Thursday eveni- ment at Salem M. E. Church by the chapel toward the direction of Prof. Rudolph Grant. Abbie Mitchell, soprano, who was to have appeared on the program as a guest artist, was unable to near. In her stead, Jessie A. Zackery, soprano, appeared, sing- ing as her first selection "Ah Fors a Laut," from La Traviata. Near the close of the program she sang "Were You There?" by Burleigh, and "Every Time I Feel the Spirit," arranged by Lawrence Brown. As a whole—and without taking into consideration the vast amount of work required, probably under unfavorable conditions, both as regards material and time—the rendition of "The Seven Last Words" was mediocre, though not in the extreme. Possibilities only were revealed. The Fourth Word, "My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me?" by the baritone soloist, was the most outstanding bit of music by either soloists or chorus. Miss Olive Hopkins, soprano, and George E. Simmons, tenor, did not, seemingly, reach their own previous standards, Mrs. S. McGill-Greendage, contrataire, rendered splendid support "I Waited for the Lord," Mendelsohn, with Miss Rush Green and Mrs. Christine David, as solist, was the most beautifully rendered choral number on the entire program. The only probable exception would be "Been a Listenin'" an excellent arrangement by Prof. Grant. Both these last came during the second part of the program, following the rendition of the oratorio. The remaining part of the program included selections by Leonard Matthews, organist, and by the male chorus. Compositions of William G. Still were among those of the five modern composers present- ed by the New School of Social Research, 465 West Twenty-third street, at a recital there last Saturday week. Mr. Still's dissections—three dialect selections—were beautifully interpreted by Jessie A. Zackery, soprano. The Creole Six, comprising five female vocalists and a male pianist, will give a half-hour program, consisting of ensembles and vocal pieces from opera harolodies and spirituels, at WGBS, Gimbel Brothers, tomorrow evening, beginning at 8:30. They all range from 17 to 20 years in age, the youngest being still a high-school student. The group, already well known in radio, is composed of two sets of sisters and a sister and brother. Helen Wallace, a student of the Damrosch school, is soprano soloist and director and arranges all the songs for the five voices. The female quintet is unusual in that it has a real bass. Dorothy Walker. John Cralle, the accompanist, is a pupil of Dr. Melville Charlton, the noted organist. The other members are Jean Wallace, Pauline Cralle and Eldy the Walker.

Ernest Hemby, encomended his debut before a capacity audience at the Grace Congregational Church, West 129th street. His accompanist was Edward Markett. "Il Neilge" ("Tis Snowing"). "My Menagerie." "The Roadside Fire" and "My Native Land were by far his best numbers. Mr. Hemby's stage carriage is one of ease. His voice, showing a surer and more melodic trend when used in a high or low, rather than in a middle range, is to be praised. He has a tendency, however, when pronounced plainissimo, promptly too for the size of the room and the audience. As a young singer, there seems to be a favorable future for him. At present Mr. Hemby is a pupil of Prof. Caska Bond, 50 St. Nicholas avenue. Before coming to New York he studied at Howard University.—T. E. B. Our Eyes DR. R. J. FOSTER OPTOMETRIST Eyesight of Young Children EDUCATION is dependent to such a large extent upon vision that it is highly important that children have good eyesight. It is, therefore, requisite that eyesight conservation in schools be preceded by proper care of the preschool child in the home. In fact, eyesight conservation should begin in infancy and be observed all through life. One authority states that "the time to begin to preserve eyesight is when the baby is born." The first thing is to guard against infection of the eyes of the newborn babe. The disease of "babies' sore eyes" is easily prevented by putting drops in the eye. This is required by a law in this State governing physicians and midwives. The eyes are not fully developed at birth. For this reason it is necessary to take particular precaution with the eyes of children. For the first two or weeks of life the best methods to sleep in a darken room. After that the eyes should be fairly light in the daytime, but when the baby is in it or when he is taken outdoors the eyes should never be exposed to the direct glare of the sun, and when in his crib his face should be turned away from the light. Baby carriages for use outdoors should have adjustable tops which are lined with some dark-colored material. Keep the top up on sun-shiny days. Don't use snow-white robes over the carriage. An intolerable glare is reflected from it into the baby's eyes. Another common cause of eyestrain in babyhood is the habit of hanging a rattle or other toy from the top of the baby carriage. These are suspended so as to dangle in front of the child's eyes. This is a bad habit and should never be permitted. Cross eyes can result from this. practice also. The toys used by children should be big and clear. Letters on blocks should be so large that the child can read them with heavy strain whatever, and at. al. that requires close inspection in order to be enjoyed is not the proper baby's toy. And again in the kindergarten children are taught sowing, weaving and the like, but these tasks are harmful to such young eyes. Remember—the child who starts out in life handicapped by poor or painful vision has a constant and losing struggle. Attorney Hayne Presses Toms River School Case The legal fight against the attempt to exclude Negro school children of Toms River, N. J., from the regular public school is being vigorously pressed by Attorney Eugene R. Hoyne, according to the latest report he has made to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In his report, Mr. Hayne writes: "Have just received service of demurre to writ of mandauan. Such pleading has been abolished in New Jersey. I am moving to strike out pleading and have judgment absolute on the writ at the opening of the court at Trenton the first day of May next. The pleandings in the case must be printed within the next ten days." In addition to the writ of mannus, issued by a Supreme Court justice, which Mr. Haynes is seeking to have made absolute, thus compiling the School Board to reinstate the children. Mr. Haynes has proceeded against the School Board directly. On this action he reports to the N. A. A. as soon as he proceeds against the School Board before the Commissioner of Education I am advised by the Assistant Commissioner that demand has been made by the Commissioner upon the two Boards of Education to answer the petition heretofore filed by me within ten days from the 15th day of this April."

"Man's Common Lot" I WALK beneath the clouds, Darkness by way enshrens, So that I cannot see; Mine eyes are filled with tears, My heart with doubts and fears, And with anxiety. Sometimes my path is steep; Sometimes through valleys deep; And, as my soul inspires, Mountains that intervene, Stand ominous between Me and my fond desire. Wecary am I of life, Its constant toll, Great burdens press me deep, I cry, in my despair, Is it my lot to wear, Always a thorny crown! But comes a thorny crown, Against the despair, Comfort and relief, To return to the land, And know the truth, Is but much common law.
