FERVID PLEA MADE HERE TO SAVE FISK UNIVERSITY WHEREVER POSSIBLE Trade With Stores In Harlem Who Do Not Practice Discrimination In the Selection of Their Employees Help "Break the Bonds" of Economic Slavery CONVENTION SITUATION GROWING MORE TENSE Either This or Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson Has Power to Declare New York City Unable Legally to By CHARLES T.

Unless the injunction obtained in 1903 by New York Lodge No. 1 of white Elks, restraining any persons other than members of that order from calling themselves Elks in the State of New York, is vacated within thirty days, Grand Exaited Ruler J. Finley Wilson, head of the improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World, will declare New York City unable to hold the twenty-eighth grand lodge session, scheduled to be held here in August. This was the outcome of the meeting held in Chicago last Friday, at which time the grand exaited ruler submitted to the grand trustees of the order the report of the lawyers' committee which recently investigated the legal status of holding the 1927 convention in New York City. Wilson recommended to the grand trustees the adoption of the committee's report, which unanimously recommended taking the convention away from New York unless the local committee could have the injunction vacated. Argument May Cause Man's Death Jugular Vain Severed — Hope Held Out for Recovery Since the grand lodge law gives the grand exited ruler the right to change the convention city for cause, by and with the consent of the grand trustees, the prediction made exclusively in The Amsterdam News several weeks ago that the New York Ellis may lose the convention seems nearer now to a realization than it did when originally made. NEW YORK COMMITTEE ANGRY. Saturday was a momentous day for the local committee. It was known that the grand trustees would meet in Chicago on Friday, the 18th, but what that committee did could not be obtained accurately by the local committee. It was not until Sunday that the local committee was informed of the actual findings of the grand trustees by The Amsterdam News, this paper having obtained bona-fide information late Saturday night. When the information first furnished by this newspaper began to go through Harlem Sunday, the local committee's consternation soon changed to anger, for the handwriting on the wall now appears that there will be no official convention in New York City this August. In an interview with Dr. Hudson I. Oliver, chairman of the New York General Convention Committee, the doctor was emphatic in stating that Manhattan, Monarch and Imperial lodges of New York City, constituting the general convention committee, would ignore any change suggested by the grand exiled rules, would continue to prepare to entertain the grand lodge session here. The general committee takes the sound that there are no new de- pictions in the New York State situation now, other than those which existed when the grand (Continued on Page 4.) DR. OLIVERP.

Loomis McDowell, 24, 108 East 100th street, and Leroy Hartley, 29, 51 East Ninety-eighth street, are awaiting the recovery of Wilson, following their arrest on charges of acting in concert in the assault. They were held without bail by Magistrate Norris in Harlem Court on Friday. Detectives Cosgrove and Spottke of the East 104th Street Station arrested the pair at Hartley's home, where the detectives said they found the bloody knife hidden. The detectives told the court that the knife had pierced Wilson's jugular vein. According to the story told by Wilson, the two men had visited him and an argument ensued. Hartley, it is charged, drew the knife and attacked Wilson. Until the latter recovers the two will be held, police stated. PREFERS JAIL TO PAYING $1.70 TAXI BILL Declaring that he would rather go to jail than pay what he believed an unjust price. Louis Nowell, 31, 411 East 124th street, was sentenced to five days in the Workhouse by Magistrate Norris in Harlem Court on Thursday. Nowell was charged with failure to pay a taxi bill of $1.70 to Martin Walsh, white, of 987 Columbus avenue, a chauffeur. Walsh said he drove Nowell all around Harlem. The latter insisted he had ridden only a few blocks. Policeman Roos of the East 126th street station arrested Nowell in front of his home on the chauffeur's complaint.

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Fresh From Virginia, He Said He Accepted Hospitality of Strangers and Was Robbed of $22 and Assaulted Scarcely had George Scott, 28, arrived from Danville, Va., early Friday morning to see the Big Town, when he was relieved of S22 by strangers and given a sound thrashing as a welcome to our city. His alleged assailants are said to be Oscar Taylor, 37. 12 West 133rd street, and another man, said to be Taylor's brother, but who escaped. Rufus Harrison. 29. 145 West 143rd street, and Josephine Donecon. 21. 124 West 143rd street, were arraigned with Taylor in Heights Court Friday before Magistrate Ewald, who held the trio without ball for a hearing Monday. In the meantime, Taylor was taken ill and removed to Harlem Hospital, and the hearing was postponed. Scott said he met a stranger on Lenox avenue and asked to be directed to a room. "Come with me, my brother has a room," the man is said to have told him. Arriving at Taylor's apartment, he engaged a room, he stated, where the Donceon woman came in and accepted $3 for an immoral purpose. She gave the money to Harrison, who lost it in a crap game in an adjoining room, and Harrison returned and asked Scott for a loan, said the complainant. Scott said he was broke, whereupon Harrison is alleged to have torn open Scott's vest and taken $22 from the breast pocket of his shirt. Taylor and his "brother" then began to beat him when he demanded his money back, Scott said, and he was thrown to the floor and kicked about the head, face and body. Staggering to the street and bleeding profusely, Scott said he called Patrolmen Rhodes and Muriel of the West 135th street station to his assistance. Harrison and the woman were arrested as they were leaving the apartment. According to Policeman Rhodes, Taylor confessed to assaulting Scott, who insisted on passing through his wife's bedroom. The trio pleaded not guilty. DARROW ELECTED TO N. A. A. C. P.

Savoy Manager Accuses Cuban Alleged Disturber Held on Charge of Extortion for Grand Jury Accusing Jay Faggen, proprietor of the Savoy Ballroom, of "framing" him. Emilio Morales, 26, Porto Rican, 299 West 137th street, was arraigned on a charge of extortion in Heights Court before Magistrate Douras Monday. He was held in $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury. Faggen testified that Morales raised a disturbance at the Savoy, and threatened to have Thomas Baskerville, the doorman, arrested unless he was paid $50. Patrolman William J. Ardiff of the West 135th street station was called to scene. Faggen said he stamped five ten spots with a rubber stamp reading "Associated Ballrooms, Inc." and in the presence of the officer gave Morales the money. Morales was then placed under arrest. According to Morales, he had been "bounced" out of the Savoy and badly beaten. He called Patrolman Ardiff, he said, and demanded Baskerville's and another man's arrest. Faggen tried to placate him, and offered him money to keep quiet, he testified, but this he refused. After a bit of arguing he said the men gathered around him and slipped the marked money in his pocket. OF $620 BY OLD GAME. NEWARK, N.

Magistrate Frees Dr. Pottinger Magistrate Frees Dr. Pottinger Magistrate Find Him Not Guilty After Hearing Testimony Accused of grand larceny, Dr. Simon H. Pottinger, 45, dentist, 2412 Seventh avenue, was arraigned in Heights Court Thursday before Magistrate Flood, who discharged him after hearing the testimony. Ansell Bell, 26, pugillist, 994 Myrtle avenue, testified that he gave Dr. Pottinger $1,000 in cash for the purpose of opening a refreshment stand at the Lafayette Theatre, 2225 Seventh avenue, in May, 1925. Bell said Pottinger was to contribute $1,000 to the enterprise, also. Lawrence K. Brown, white, 240 Broadway, was counsel for Dr. Pottinger. According to Dr. Pottinger's testimony, Bell asked his advice about entering into a business partnership with one Dashy Grant, and that he (Pottinger) was asked to come into the proposition. He declined, he said, on the grounds that his cash was already tied up in other investments, but advised Bell to view the proposition favorably. Bell and Grant returned to his C. D. B.

WOMAN SAYS MAN THREATENED HER LIFE; ARRESTED Moses Keith Furnishes Alibij, Which Is Corroborated by His Employer To Get Trial in General Sessions Moses Keith, 22, 308 West 142nd street, was held in $2, 500 bail for the Court of General Sessions, when arraigned in Heights Court Monday before Magistrate Douras. Keith was arrested by Patrolman Bevans of the West 135th street station on May 10, on complaint of Eleanor Foster. 60 West 142nd street, who testified that Keith threatened to kill her early the morning of April 23. According to the testimony, Keith followed the woman for some distance through the street. Arriving at 142d street and Fifth avenue, Mrs. Foster said Keith put his arm under her throat from behind her and said, "If you scream I'll murder you." He then slashed her left cheek with a knife, she said, causing her to have stitches taken in the wound. Keith escaped at the time, but Mrs. Foster saw him several times afterward, and Keith was arrested. Keith's alibi was that on the morning in question he was on his job as an elevator operator at 305 Convent avenue, and his employer testified to corroborate the fact. It was revealed that the alleged attack took place at 4:30 a. m., at which time Keith's employer was asleep, and that he did not see Keith until 6:30 a. m. Attorney James J. Low, 331 Madison avenue, counsel for the defendant, sought to prove that since Mrs. Foster could only identify Keith by his overcoat, and that since the defendant was also a stranger to the complainant, the court would hardly be justified in holding he prisoner. Magistrate Douras replied that Keith's alibi was not of sufficient strength, and that the case should be decided downtown. office some time later, he testified. Bell gave him $1,000 to count, and after verifying the amount, passed the money back to Bell, who gave it to Grant, the defendant said. Grant then gave Bell a receipt for the money, and Bell asked Pottinger to put the receipt, but not the money, in his safe for safe keeping, Pottinger declared. He denied being a party to the Bell-Grant proposition in any way. Grant was in court but was not called upon to testify. Dr. Pottinger was first arraigned May 5 before Magistrate Brodsky, who held him in $1,000 ball. Bond was furnished by Dr. D. Ivinson Hoage. 241 What 135th street 24 FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE PAGES Complete in 3 Sections RE ERSITY DS.

ELEVATOR OPERATOR GETS SHOT WHEN GUN GOES OFF Alleged to have accidentally shot and seriously wounded Alphonso Coleman, elevator operator at 9 Adrian avenue, the Bronx, Joseph De Luca, Italian, 34, 122 Horton street, City Island, the Bronx, was arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate George F. Ewald Saturday and admitted to $2,500 bail for a further hearing tomorrow. According to Coleman, De Luca, and Bernard Imaratia, 831 Aranow avenue, the Bronx, a material witness, the shooting occurred when De Luca displayed the gun to Coleman while they were sitting on a bench in the apartment house lobby engaged in friendly conversation. Without warning, the .32 calibre German automatic revolver barked forth, sending a bullet ploughing its way through Coleman's groin and passing out at the bin. De Luca, who pleaded not guilty, surrendered to Patrolman Joseph J. Boyden of the Seventeenth precinct. He explained that he had the gun to protect the payroll he was carrying for his boss, a painter. De Luca, however, had no permit for the gun. Coleman was rushed to Fordham Hospital, where his condition is still reported to be serious. At Heights Court De Luca was held in $500 ball for unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon. and in $2,000 ball on a charge of felonious assault. He was released on bond. Developments in the case depends upon Coleman's condition. SECTION ONE W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis, presided, and extolled Fisk as a vital Negro educational institution and pioneer musical center. The Rev. William Lloyd Imes, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church, delivered the invocation, and the meeting was highly spiritualized by the fervid singing of Negro spirituals by the Fisk Jubilee Singers, who have sung in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and other countries. Mrs. Rebecca Norcum rendered pleasingly two vocal numbers, and Miss Sonoma Talley executed Chopin's "Etude in C Minor" at the plano. Over $4,000 was raised in cash and pledges, which ranged in amounts from $2 to $500 each, toward securing the $100,000 needed to enable Fisk to receive an endowment of $1,000,000. Seventy-five thousand dollars has already been raised, but unless the remaining $25,000 is forthcoming by July 1 Fisk College will be lost to the Negro, solely upon whom the outcome now depends. "Higher cultural training among the Negroes is vitally necessary," said Dr. Jones, "and the Negro must learn to support his own institutions of learning. Each year the Negro is finding himself shut out of the great white universities of America, and the educational requirements of Negro teachers are becoming more strict. Teachers must now have both an A. B. and M. A. "It is a mistake to have a pure Negro faculty from top to bottom at Fisk. We must live and work together. America and the Negro will not leave each other. The Negro has demonstrated his power of creative effort, and at Fisk we are graduating a better type of American citizen." Dr. Jones spoke of the beautiful spirit of self-sacrifice evidenced by the students of the University, all of them giving to the Fisk fund their meager savings which had been reserved for some treasured purpose. Many school teachers throughout the country, he said, had sacrificed a portion from their small salaries to such an extent that he was wont to call their contributions "blood money." The supreme sacrifice of the lata, Mrs. John W. Work, who trained, the Fisk Jubilee Singers, was touchingly related; this noble woman having given her very life for Fisk. "I thank God that I went to Fisk, where there is the keenest group of Negro students in the United States."

After learning of its indebtedness, he told the Board of Trustees that he would accept the responsibility on three conditions, viz., (1) That within the next six months they would lift their indebtedness of $100,000. (2) That they would secure $100,000 for repairs and equipment, and (3) That they receive their endowment of $1,000,000. This would place Fisk on equality with the best schools in the country. Upon his return five months later the chairman of the board tearfully confessed Fisk's failure. After the most sincere efforts and of exhausting every known means, Fisk had raised only $5,500. Although his position awaited him at Columbia University and another in Tokio, Dr. Jones said he was inspired by the strength of character and the deep and genuine sincerity of the 700 students of Nashville's Negro college. In them he saw the Negro of the future. A vision of their possibilities cleared the way instantly to an affirmative decision, he said. Dr. Jones' advent to Fisk found it on the verge of disruption. The youth of the country, both colored and white, were undergoing the reaction following the World War. They were no longer dooie students, believing everything the professors told them, but rather would they question those in authority. Added to this was the Fisk students' militant attitude toward the white faculty, whom they believed to be imposing on them. A survey of conditions through out the country disclosed the fact that Northern donors had lost confidence in Fisk, following the students' revolt, which was inter preted, especially by the whites, as ingratiance. The Negroes of America believed that Fisk being a biracial institution, the white members of the faculty presumed to teach the Negro "to keep his place" and to serve him with "canned education." It seemed impossible for a time to get funds for the college. After the war, American educational institutions were in a bad way, and the leading colleges of the country inaugurated immense campaigns to meet their deficits. The tuitions were raised to two and three times the price. However, at Fisk, where the student's tuition is one-fifth the cost, the tuition remained the same, while the cost of running the school began to soar. Dr. Jones began his campaign by emphasizing that in Fisk is epitomized all that Negro education stands for in America. As a liberal arts college, Fisk is the only Negro institution that offers collegiate and graduate work. Upon receiving the benefits of the coming $1,000,000 endowment, Fisk will provide a pre-medical course, pre-dental and pharmacy courses, especially to prepare the student to enter Meharry College. "Educationally," said Dr. Jones, "the dreams and aspirations of the Negro are centered in Fisk University, and Fisk's fight is as well the battle of 12,000,000 Negroes." Many prophesied his failure to raise $100,000 among Negroes exclusively, the new president said, but he laid his life upon it that it would be done. According to Chaplain Baker, if Colored America responds with $100,000, Pisk will be given the same amount for repairs and equipment, and in addition they will re- At several meetings in the interest of Fisk University here recently this famous octette has done its bit to raise $100,000 so sorely needed by the world-renowned institution at Nashville.

The Negro citizens of Nashville recently gave $7,000 for much needed repairs to the school. White America was astounded, said Dr. Jones, when they learned that Negroes had already subscribed $75,000 to the Fisk fund. The University of Pennsylvania was equally dumbfounded to learn that on Fisk's faculty there will be an eminent professor whom they have for five years been besecchiing to teach at Penn. Other professors coming to Fisk, five-in all, will include an associate professor from Yale, a research expert from Columbia and a prominent scientist from Penn. "These white men will cross the line to work with us, mind to mind, heart to heart, and soul to soul." Fisk's new president said. "Negro professors who have also crossed the line will join us, also."

Church Relieving Mississippi Flood Victims MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 16 (By The Associated Negro Press).—With headquarters here in Memphis, the African Methodist Episcopal Church is rendering valuable service in helping to relieve the suffering of those who have been made homeless by the Mississippi flood. The work is under the direction of Dr. S. S. Johnson, secretary-treasurer of the Board of Church Extension Work, who is known as the man who revolutionized the work of the extension department of the church in America and foreign countries. Dr. Johnson arrived a few days ago and quickly organized his forces and got to work. Having handled similar work last year in the Florida storm area, the doctor is thoroughly familiar with the problems, which he and his organization are facing. While the headquarters are located in Memphis the operations of the church body extends throughout the Mississippi Valley. The group was warmly welcomed to Memphis, and the effect of the work being done is being felt already. The African Methodist Episcopal Church, through Dr. Johnson and the Extension Board, has raised more than $10,000 to help the flood sufferers and is ministering personally to hundreds of the refugees. In this work John R. Hawkins, one of the most influential churchmen, has played a great part. White Rapist Jailed; Attacked Young Girl The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has sent letters of thanks and appreciation to C. D. O'Brien Jr., County Attorney of Ramsey county, St. Paul, Minn., and to Judge Charles Bechoefer of the district court, for the fair and impartial trial as a result of which a white rapist has been sent to jail for an attack upon a young girl. The girl had been brought to St. Paul from Atlanta, Ga., as a nursemaid in the family of William P. Hall. The girl, who was under 18 years of age, testified that she had received no compensation for her services, and had been unable to leave the family, having no money of her own, and that she had been afraid to tell of Hall's assaults because of his threats. The St. Paul and Minneapolis Branches of the N. A. A. C. P. together with the head resident of Phyllis Wheatley House and other social agencies brought about prosecution and conviction of Hall under a law which carries with it a penalty of imprisonment up to seven years.

In a leading two column editorial of last week's issue of the Chronicle, the editor questioned the sincerity of the morticians' endeavor to protect the interest of the Negro public. He launched a tirade against certain of them, because of their usurious rates. Arousing the undertakers'ire members of the organization challenge the bold editor to public debate, proceeds to go to charity. The target for the editor's wrath was the spokesman of the undertakers. Basil F. Hutchins. "Let the spokesman of the undertakers come into court with clean hands. Perhaps a heart searching will find he, too, may have practised to a marked degree the egging on of some bereaved persons to spend more than they really intended." Addressing a large gathering of the Order of guests in session at the A. M. E. Zion Church, Thursday evening, Mr. Hutchins, answering the editor, sald: "I am now entering my twenty-ninth year of business in Boston. Dishonesty could not stand for that period of time, without being publicly known. It has been through fair dealing that has enabled me to promote what Robt. S. Abbot of the Chicago Defender calls the largest single Negro business in Boston. "The editor of the Chronicle asked proof of a single instance where the white undertaker has violated statements in his advertisements to conduct funerals for $125. Allen Johnson, 21, 101 West 1357th street, was committed to the Penitentiary for an indefinite term by Judge Cohn in the Bronx County Court Saturday after he had pleaded guilty to a larceny charge.

Never Before Have You Experienced Such a Fascinating Beauty Bath Very Important To Fastidious Women The fact that LINIT is sold by all grocers as a high class laundry starch and is also recom mended for use as a remarkable beauty bath, may seem rather. far-fetched to some women —however, the statements made above are not mere claims, but are backed by leading - chemists and dermatologists, and the use of LINIT as a beauty bath is a common practice among fashionable women and cinema stars. Regardless of all this—you are the judge of whether a LINIT Bath will give the results as | stated above. Linit is so economical that at least you should give it a trial. Let the results speak for themselves. y Merely ask your grocer for a package of ; LINIT and follow the above suggestions . : ERE at last is a new beau- H ty secret with all the guile and intrigue that only France knows how to im- part. A beauty bath that immedi- ately gives the skin a sensation of having bathed in rich cream. You would never believe that a beauty bath with such a startling result could be so inexpensive. At practically a cent a bath you have a skin rivalling the velumen of an orchid petal. Immediate Results By merely taking two or more handfuls of Linit— (the scientific starch discovery sold by all grocers) and swishing into a half tubful of moderate- ly warm water—bathing in the usual way using your favorite soap—stepping out of the tub —drying off—and Presto! —Feel your skin—in texture it is soft and smooth as the finest satin and in elasti- city and suppleness it is perfect. Skin is merely a “covering for the body—sensitive and delicate. And unless some pure preparation is used to guard it against abusive irritation, it may become rough and per- hars chsfed. Too much powder after a bath may cause rougi- ness and soreness, for usually, women dab it on in spots and then the pores often become clogged. Powder Unnecessary But—after a Linit Bath there is a thin coating of powder Icft on the skin that is cvenly spread. This thin porous layer of powder absorbs perspiration, is resistant to irritation and gives the skin a soft, regular “feel.” « Linit, when added tothe bath produces a creamy feel to the water which makes it leas irrie tating in cases of certain skin discases. ’ Starch from corn is the main ingredient of Linit—and there- in lies the secret of the Linit Bath, for starch from corn, bee. ing a vegetable product, in, absolutely pure and harmless,, Doctors and dermatologists: generally recommend starch: from corn for the tender-akin- of new-born babies. of Strarth*( natin econamiuyr Startling ineconomy and absolutely harmless mar _ FOUR "Convention Must Be Held Here" "Convention Must Be Held Here" (Continued from Page 1.) lodge voted last August in Cleveland to come to New York in 1927. Since it was the mandate of the order that New York should entertain the twenty-eighth grand lodge session in August, 1927, and since no cause, other than that fully known when the grand lodge so voted nearly a year ago, exists the local committee insist that there will be a convention in New York and, if any other convention city is named by the grand exalted ruler, it will surely cause a split in the order. Dr. Oliver feels that the local committee's view will be shared in by a majority of the order and that a majority will come to the scheduled convention in this city rather than go to any other city which may be designated by the grand exalted ruler. In addition, the local committee feels that they will have the moral and financial support of George E. Bates of Newark, grand secretary, and James T. Carter of Richmond, grand treasurer. They hold that no good cause has been presented for changing the convention city and they insist that they are ready and fully prepared in every detail to hold the session in this city and to entertain properly and lawfully the throngs which always follow an Elk convention. A MUDDLED SITUATION. The situation at this time appears extremely muddled. There is still likelihood of the injunction be court records of this State is reported, though it is not an small likelihood of the injunction be court records of this State is vacated, though it is not an possible task. The injunction was obtained by New York Lodge No. 1, B. P. O. E. against Brooklyn Lodge No. 52, the first lodge in this State of Negro Elks, and was sweeping in its mandates. It prohibited a violation of not only the Gratton Law but the corporate laws of the State of New York and provided a fine of one year imprisonment or $1,000 fine or both for any violation and the wearing of an Elk emblem or the calling of one's self an Elk was construed by Justice Manchaucer, who rendered the decision in Poughkeepsie, as a violation. When Justice Mauchhauser's rulings reached the Appellate Division it was modified somewhat, but the injunction was not removed. Because of this modification and in view of the known friendliness now of the very lodge of white Elks who first obtained the injunction, a vacating of the injunction is possible, though highly improbable, within the thirty-day limit set by the grand exalted ruler of the I. E. P. O. E. of the W. and the grand trustees. In the event that New York falls to meet the grand trustees' and Wilson's ultimatum, it is likely that Baltimore will entertain the twenty-eighth grand lodge session officially, though Detroit will make a strong bid as the second choice of the order at Cleveland. While the situation is most unfortunate in every way, it is very clear that, if recourse to law is made by either faction, the law is almost certain to find in favor of the grand trustees and the grand It's a cinch to dress your hair after this NEW CRUDE-OIL SHAMPOO What snowy, bubbling, quick-cleaning lather!

Library Students Make Journey Library Students Make Journey Hampton Classes Study Methods in Library of Congress HAMPTON INSTITUTE. Va. May 16.-The nine graduating students of the Hampton Institute Library School, under the leadership of Florence Rising Curtis, director, were recently received by Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian of the Library of Congress, at Washington, and were taken by H. H. B. Meyer of the Library Reference Service to all departments where work behind the scenes in binding, pasting, cataloging and other technical processes were seen at first-hand. The Photostat Department, managed and handled entirely by Negroes, demonstrated for the student group this process of reproducing. At a luncheon given in the National Library by the colored members of the staff, Mr. Alexander, of the office of the Director of the Library, acted as host. After viewing rare editions, the original of the Constitution, and valuable prints held in the Congressional Library, a visit was made to the library of the Bureau of Education, where John D. Wolcott, director, took the party through all its departments, urging the student librarians to call on the resources of this special library for its particular service. Miss Clarabel Ruth Barnett, on the Library of the Department of Agriculture, showed all lines of activity under her charge. Ways of caring for maps and other unusually shaped documents were demonstrated here. Three members of the class will next year have charge of libraries in agricultural colleges, so that this inspection of Okel over, folks!

Opinion among members of the order in Greater New York is that the convention could be held here with the chances 100 to 1 that any condition would arise to mar the session. Yet the grand exalted ruler clearly has the law behind him in any move he may make to call off New York as the convention city. Behind the whole thing appears a situation in which a local committee made up from lodges which have been very successful in New York, in spite of adverse court rulings, elected to go along with their plans for the convention without the co-operation of the head of the order who, piqued by such ostracism, has elected to demonstrate to New York that the head of the order has rights and prerogatives which all members are bound to observe. At any rate, that is the general interpretation placed by older members of the order on the actions of Mr. Wilson in connection with the convention being held in this city.

Pay INTERRACIAL COMMISSION MEETS Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune Says Oppressed Race Is Encouraged Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune Says Oppressed Race Is Encouraged Sixteen States Represented at Annual Conference at Atlanta Dr. R. R. Moton and Dr. John Hope Among Speakers ATLANTA, Ga., May 10. Negroes of the United States are greatly encouraged by the efforts of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, according to Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, speaking at the annual meeting of the commission, in session here three days recently. Gratifying progress is being made, said Mrs. Bethune, both in conditions and in attitudes. Sixteen states were represented in the attendance at the meeting, which comprised seventy-five men and women prominent in leadership of the two races. The work of the past year was surveyed, conditions were frankly set forth and freely discussed, and a number of notable addresses were made. Remarkable unanimity prevailed. Dr. M. Ashby Jones of St. Louis presided and was again elected chairman of the commission. Will W. Alexander of Atlanta was reelected director of the work, R. H. King was chosen chairman of the executive committee, which will consist of Dr. Ashby Jones, Dr. W. C. Jackson and President David D. Jones of Greenboro: W. B. Wilbur, Charleston, S. C.; Dr. C. B. Wilmer, Sewance, Teen; Dr. R. R. Moton, president Tussage Institute; Mrs. Mary Mead Bethune, president Bethune Cookman College; Dr. N. B. Bond, jackson, Miss., and Dr. John Hope, E. Marvin Underwood, Dr. Plato Durham, Mrs. John J. Egan, and R. H. King of Atlanta. Making a general report of conditions, the Rev Will W. Alex under, the director, pointed out encouraging progress in the increasing acceptance throughout the South of state and community responsibility for Negro welfare and the rapidly growing interest in their race relations manifested by religious groups and students. R. B. Elazzer, the commission's educational director expressed appreciation of the fine work that is being done by the newspapers for the improvement of interracial conditions, and particularly the unanimous and vigorous assault which TENDER FEET.

One of the principal addresses of the meeting was delivered by Dr. Robert H. Moton on the subject, "Are the Commission's Objectives and Methods Sound?" Just back from a trip around the world, Dr Moton soke with keen anxiety of the acute interracial problems found in other inns and stated that the world is looking to America to demonstrate a means by which different racial groups can live side by side in mutual respect, friendship, and helpfulness. The Interracial Commission, he was convinced, is demonstrating such a method through conference and cooperation between the white and colored people of America. In a remarkable address, which completely captured the meeting, Dr. John Hope defined the commission's purpose as being essentially spiritual and concerned primarily with the development of Christian attitudes between the two races. "The Negro and the Ballot" was the topic of a discussion led by Bishop George C. Clement of Louisville, who declared that Negroes do not object to laws which limit the ballot to those prepared to exercise it wisely, but do insist that such laws should be impartially applied, and that Negroes who are able to qualify should be allowed to vote. The same opinion was voiced correctly by others of both races, and was obviously concurred in by the whole group. The commission requested the executive committee to make a study of Negro suffrage in the south, and report at the next annual meeting. The need of medical schools and opportunities for hospital training for Negroes, as well as better sanitation and housing, was pointed out by Dr. Southgate Leigh of Norfolk as necessary to overcome the abnormally high death rate of Negroes now prevailing. Pleasing features of the meeting were the excellent musical numbers supplied by students of York University and Morehouse College, under the direction of Professors Frederick Hall and Kemper Harreld.

Charged With Cruelty to One of His Twenty-six Children BOSTON. May 14.—Shortly after Judge Willis S. Kellogg of the district court of Westfield had sentenced him to six months in jail on a charge of cruelty to his children, the Rev. John Smith, Alabama preacher, proud father of 26 children, occupant of a pastorate in the Southland and numerous other honors, walked calmly out of court, unobserved by police and court attendants. Motorcycle Officer Fred J. McCouncil went in search of the escaped prisoner and found him mooching along the railroad tracks in the Southwick section of the town. When apprehended by the officer, the Rev. Mr. Smith informed him that he was only going home to give his wife a few instructions on how to raise the children during his confinement, and that he was coming right back to the police station after this was done. The father of many children was locked safely, behind the bars of the Hamiden county jail. Infliction of too severe punishment on his daughter was the specific charge against the Alaabama pastor. According to the complainant in the case, Smith knocked his daughter down seven times with a rake handle during the chastisement. He had previously ben given six months in the House of Correction for cruelty to a son, and the suspension of this sentence was revoked. At that time, he told the police the boy had struck another child and he took the offending youngster and "wore him out" by his chastisement. URBAN LEAGUE OFFERS AID IN FLOOD AREA The National Urban League, through its executive secretary, Eugene Kinckle Jones, has offered the services of two of its trained executives for work among the colored sufferers in the flood area. This offer was made on May 5, through a telegram sent by Mr. Jones to President Coolidge and to which the President replied stating that the matter had been referred to the Red Cross for immediate action. Jesse O. Thomas of Atlanta, Georgia, southern field secretary, and T. Arnold Hill, director of industrial relations, are the secretaries Mr. Jones would assign.

LOUIS, Mo., May 15 (By the Associated Negro Press). - Negro Catholics here are scandalized because the primary education offered their children is wolfly inadequate from the point of view of equipment, housing facilities and the number of schools, declared the Rev. M. J. Markoe, S. J., of St. Louis University, in an address here before the Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Women. He said the colored brothel fell that they had been neglected by the Catholic Church. "If our policy is to be to refuse to welcome Negroes to use the Catholic facilities already existing and to reserve them exclusively for ourselves, then the least we can do is to as sist the Negro Catholic brothel in erecting at least one respectable school and church for themselves, continued Father Markoe. He said this crying need is a challenge-not only to the charity of the white Catholics, but to their sense of justice. St. Elizabeth's Parish, 2724 Pine street, is the only church in the city for Negro members of the Catholic belief. Father Markoe said plans were under way for the building of a new school and church for these parishioners. The St. Elizabeth's congregation, he said, would have to shoulder a great deal to meet the initial expense of building. KILLS YOUNG WOMAN HE CALLED "MEDDLER" FORDYCE. Ark., May 16 (By The Associated Negro Press).--I killed her because she was meddling in my business," declared Abe Harris, who was arrested here Wednesday charged with the murder of Rosa Lee Peterson, a 19- year-old girl. Harris stated that the girl had repeatedly urged his wife to leave him and go "North" with her and that he had tried to persuade the girl to leave his wife alone and "stay out of her business." W.

They were held without ball for further hearing when arraigned before Magistrate McQuade on Friday. Policeman Blackmore of the East 126th street station said he was attracted to 127th street and Third avenue by screams. He found the unknown white malf lying in a pool of blood on the sidewalk, he says. Passersby pointed to three men running from the scene.

Forbidden -Pleasures Just like Adam and Eve were punished for eating forbidden fruit, so do a vast number of men and women, both young and old, suffer today because they lack strength. Dissipation has weakened many so they can no longer withstand the slightest exertion—others were born weak and have never known how to build their bodies so they could take advantage of the many pleasures they seek. There is no excuse for anyone crying for health, and strength—everyone can enjoy life— more pursued and arrested two of them. One escaped. Returning to the scene with his prisoners, he was promised that the unknown man would be taken to the hospital, he says. The man who escorted the stabbed man said they were friends of his, the officer explained. He then returned to the station house with the prisoners. Three hours later, in Harlem Hospital, after a long wait, Policeman Blackmore gave up hopes of finding the stabbed man at that institution. Police believe that the man who was stabbed was a friend of the two prisoners and does not wish to prosecute them. DEPUTY SHERIFF KILLS FLOOD REFUGEE [Prairie News Service.] SHREVEPORT, La., May 16.—Mrs. Malissa Chandler, an aged flood refugee, was fatally shot Monday by Joe Lewis, a deputy sheriff here, while firing at J.

When the matter was reported to Sheriff Hughes he immediately dismissed Lewis, declaring that he used bad judgment by firing in an open street, and for that reason he would not keep him on the force any longer.

There are innumerable styles in cards we use, but there is very little change in form from year to year. Good taste in cards is all ways something severely simple. The universally approved material is pure white, unglazed bristol board and the style of type, block letters, Old English or cript. All styles should appear in black ink only. We find, occasionally, that some people indulge in individual whims, give their cards an air of novelty by using a mixed type, allow the name to appear in Roman or script lettering and the address to appear in Old English. This is permissible, although not considered the best form. However, the use of different style type may be condoned for a very young man-about-the-town or a "deb." A gentleman's calling card is considerably smaller than those used by a lady or debutante. One and one-half to $2 \frac{1}{2}$ inches is considered as the correct size; the debutante and unmarried woman will usually choose a size $1 \frac{1}{4}$ by $2 \frac{1}{2}$ inches; the matron uses a somewhat larger sized card than an unmarried woman—2 by 3 inches. MATRONS: A married woman's husband's title should never appear on her calling card. In instances only where her mother-in-law's name is also Mrs. John Doe should her card read: "Mrs. John Doe Jr." She should never use in the engraving of any card her own first name or maiden name. Exception is made, however, where a married woman of profession is nationally known by her maiden name and she remains active in her profession. Although in these instances, many women prefer two cards. YOUNG LADIES: On an unmarried woman's card may appear her first and last name in full, utilizing an initial for her middle name, or if her personal, preference is for her name in full she may follow this form "Miss Mary Elizabeth Doe." DEBUTANTES: During the first season of her debutantship, she may have her name appear on her mother's at home cards, especially if the debutante enjoys the extremely careful chaperonage of her mother. This card will be a trifle larger than the usual matron's card and inscribed as follows: Mrs. John Doe Miss Mary E.

Unmold and serve with sweetened, vanilla flavored whipped cream. to Culture A LILLARD daughters, and by agreement they wish to eliminate the necessity of having a multiplicity of cards, "The Misses Doe" is inscribed beneath the mother's name instead of one daughter's individual name. The same may follow if sisters wish to share calling cards together. MARRIED COUPLES: m addition to having their own cards, for convenience sake when calling together, many married couples have their cards engraved jointly, sharing same. This card is used generally as an enclosure in giving gifts, expressing condolences, congratulations, etc. PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS MEN AND WOMEN: No man or woman is privileged to use on his or her cards any profession or business he or she may be pursuing, whether for glory or gain, which he or she is using for social purposes. Business cards and cards for professional use display the character of business they are engaged in, together with their business and telephone number, etc. When an individual calls upon a friend or acquaintance and finds her out, a card may be left with the maid or other person receiving at the door. If there is no response at the door, a card may be left in the door or some convenient place where some member of the household will see it at a glance when returning home. If a business or professional person makes a social call, a calling card is left; if a business call, a business card is left. Never the reverse.

We want someone who can understand; who can share our troubles as well as joys. In the hour of sorrow and depression there is a pathetic lack of true friends. Swayed by our emotions, many of us pass rapidly from one acquaintance to another, never stopping to hold one of them. Lasting sacrificial friendships are far too rare among us. How often have we inquired of a man who is your best friend, is only to receive the answer: "How should I know? We're not on such good terms." Emerson, in his essay on friendship, states that our intellectual and active powers increase with our affections; that the scholar sits down to write and all his years of meditation do not furnish him with one good thought or happy expression; but it is necessary to write a troop of gentle thoughts invest themselves. Friendship requires that we take an altruistic interest in the affairs of the other man; that we respect him and stand up for him when others desert him. It's worth much more to have one real friend than to have a hundred acquaintances and admirers. The following letter brought to mind the idea that possibly this column can be instrumental in the success of Mr. dew Mies Egypti Ann: I have been reading your confidence column in The Amsterdam News and it interests me very much, and so I will be able to insist that you will be able to help me.

W. but only knew of the secretary, and I doubt if she knows me. Can you give me the address-of the Society? Perhaps I may acquaint it? Perhaps I may be able to join it and subsequently become acquainted with someone in New York City, and subsequently work and never have any real fun. Thanking you in advance for any information you may give me, I am, Very sincerely, M. J. Dear M. J.: Yes, indeed. I know how you feel. Send me your present address as a letter which I sent to you was returned stating that you had moved and left no address. I'm sure that some of the readers will wish to get in touch with you. If they do, they can send me their names and addresses and I will forward yours to them. Will those who wish friends through the column state their age and what particular interests or qualities they wish in a friend?

PORO SUIT SETTLED OUT OF COURT Million Dollar Institution Returned to Mrs. Annie Malone, Its Founder Million Dollar Institution Returned to Mrs. Annie Malone, Its Founder White Receiver Ousted by Court Order - Counsel for Defendant Give Reasons for Compromise --- ST. LOUIS, Mo., May the Associated Negro Press-Poro is saved. Conrad Paebé discharged by order of the founder and owner of Poro, this gigantic business institute. Naron E. Malone, who charges which engulfed what profitable Negro business in is in seclusion. Malone de and a half share in his wife lowance of cash and real es view of the stakes he was p here. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 14 (Staff Correspondence by the Associated Negro Press.) The Malone case is ended Poro is saved. Conrad Paeben, the white receiver, has been discharged by order of the court, and Mrs. Annie Malone, founder and owner of Poro, reigns supreme in charge of this gigantic business institution. Aaron E. Malone, who four months ago brought the charges which engulfed what is probably America's most profitable Negro business in the throes of a great lawsuit, is in seclusion. Malone demanded half of Poro College and a half share in his wife's fortune. He received an allowance of cash and real estate from his wife, which, in view of the stakes he was playing for, is considered small here. The cloud of uncertainty which has enveloped Poro cleared away last Monday, when Judge Moses Hartman, sitting in the Circuit Court, handed down an order which declared Poro College the sole property of Annie M. Malone and ousted Receiver Conrad Paechen, the dumpthous white official, whose rough-shod domineering over the famous institution had aroused Negroes the country over to deep resentment. Paechen was ordered to turn over forthwith to Mrs. Malone all of her property, including $82,000 worth of gilt-edged bonds and other personal effects, as well as all records of Poro which might be in his possession. The receiver did not show his face personally at the college, but let his assistant handle the transfer. There were helleghajs and rejoicing when he left. In an exclusive statement to the Associated Negro Press counsel for Mrs. Malone explained the case as follows: "The prime objective in this lawsuit was to save Poro College. That was the chief consideration throughout the case, and Poro College goes to Mrs. Malone free and untouched. Malone's claim to a partnership in Poro never even formed a basis for settlement. It had no foundation in fact, and was abandoned completely by his forces when they discovered that we had his sworn testimony made in the same court in another case and repeated over and over again that he was not a partner in Poro and had never been a partner, and that the business belonged to my wife." "Mr. Malone was her husband and she naturally contemplated making him an allowance in case of separation or divorce, according to the law in Missouri, but he received about one-third of what he easily could have had if this foolish lawsuit had not been started. "It was an unpleasant case. When the record of complaining's life was finally completed, we preferred not to expose it. Again the court, had appointed a receiver without warning or notice and, as we knew, without reason, and such an action was hardly encouraging to Mrs. Malone to go to trial before such a tribunal. "Mr. Malone receives less than $40,000 cash, to be held in escrow until the terms of the agreement are compiled with." The total costs allowed, in the case for court costs and receivers' fees and help was set at $8,000. Mrs. Malone keeps all of the real estate in her name. He keeps all in his name except two valuable pieces which she is holding because they are the homes she has provided for two old couples. These he reconveys. Some of the joint properties in this and other cities, mostly unimproved, are divided. RO A FACE THAT REAL RO-ZOL A FACE BLEACH THAT REALLY BLEACHES Another HIGH-BROWN Toilet Preparation.

He received an al- tate from his wife, which, in laying for, is considered small receipt and absolute release of any or all interests in any of her prop- erty or effects. Counsel had been empowered with authority to ar- rive at the final arrangement and the terms of the divorce, which will probably be heard soon, were agreed upon. Mrs. Malone has resumed personal charge of her business, which, because of her continued residence in the building and the loyalty of the Poro force, had not suffered as much from the rampage of the receiver as had been feared. One of her first acts was to reint state Edzar E. McDaniel, office manager, and Charles S. Stone, personal manager, faithful and efficient employees, whom Paeben had fired because of their fealty to Mrs. Malone. Flowers, telegrams, fruit, mottoes, and hundreds of letters and telegrams of congratulation and love have披ured in on Mrs. Malone, who has been forced to add an extra personal secretary to keep up this nation-wide appreciation of her victory. A different air pervades Poro. There is a joyous, happy expression on the faces of the force. They have adopted the slogan: "This is Poro. Business as usual." WOMAN DISCHARGED: ACCUSED' OF' LARCENY Mildred Miller, alias Laura Burrell, 40, 201 West 132d street, was found not guilty and discharged in Heights Court Thursday by Magistrate Brodsky after he had heard the testimony of the complainant, Murray Sandlofer, white. 1616 Washington avenue, taxi driver, who had brought a charge of grand larceny against her, accusing her of frisking him of a ten dollar bill while she was in his taxi, on West 115th street between Lonox and Seventh avenues. Attorneys Louis L. Lavelle, 15 Park Row, was counsel for the defendant. BURGLARY ALARM ATTRACTS POLICEMAN Fred Johnson, 37, who said that he had no home, but had come to Harlem from the Island of Martinique, was held in $3,000 bail for the Grand Jury on a charge of burglary on Thursday in Harlem Court. Johnson was arrested by Patrolman Deglin of the East 126th street station in the basement of 1 East 111st street. The policeman charged that Johnson had cut away an iron door and opened a window to a clothing store at that address owned by Joseph Weingard. The burglar alarm sounded when Johnson opened the window, the policeman said, and he was attracted to the scene. ZOL BLEACH Y BLEACHES New Orleans to Receive Flood Relief Funds In response to inquiries addressed to the office here of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, as to where contributions for colored victims of the Mississippi Valley floods might be sent, the national office telegraphed to New Orleans and has received the following telegram from Dr. George W. Lucas, president of the New Orleans branch of the N. A. A. C. P.: "New Orleans branch will handle anything for flood sufferers." The address of the New Orleans branch is 2107 Dryades street. New Orleans, La., and all gifts and contributions may be sent to that address. The N. A. A. C. P. has also telegraphed to Robert R. Church, in Memphis, member of the board of directors, informing him of the willingness of the New Orleans branch to administer flood relief funds, and requesting him to keep in touch with Dr. Lucas at New Orleans and with the national office. Charity Collector Robbed, Then Bound Clyde J. Harris, 20, white, 504 West 145th street, a collector for the Catholic Charities Society of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, 463 West 142d street, was beaten and robbed of $80 by two armed men. He was found semi-conscious and bound in the back of a hallway on the first floor of an apartment house at 514 West 148th street by Mrs. Katherine Egan, a tenant Harris was taken to Columbus Hospital and attended for concussion of the brain. He told detectives that the two men appeared in the vestibule of the 148th street apartment house and ordered him to put up his hands. As he did so one of the men took the money from his pocket. He was then struck on the head with the butt of a revolver and hound.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1927 White and Colored Juries Try Same Case (Preston News Service) OWENBORO, Ky., May 16— Two juries sat simultaneously in police court Wednesday, one composed of colored and the other of white men, and heard the evidence of a disorderly conduct case in which a white woman and a colored man were the principals. Each jury formed and returned its verdict separately. Both defendants were acquitted. Because of race conditions in Owensboro the court decided to have the two juries. The colored jury returned a verdict of "not guilty" for the man, but the white jury recommended a $5 fine for the woman. Prosecutor Fowler moved that the fine verdict be set aside and the warrant against the woman he dismissed. The prosecuting attorney had urged a verdict of guilty for both and had warped the juries that the association of races at Madisonville had probably led two colored men to the death cell. Alleged Sullivan Law Violator Freed An argument between friends was aired in Heights Court Thursday when Joseph Swingler, 26, 12 West 15th street, was arraigned before Magistrate Broolsky on a charge of disorderly conduct and with possession of a dangerous weapon in violation of the Sullivan Law. Swingler was arrested April 28 on complaint of Roy Barrett, 155 West 133d street, who said that Swingler pointed a gun at him. According to Mrs. Barrett, Swingler had left his knife at her house and phoned over to get it. She told him she did not see the knife, and that if it was lost she would pay for it, but Swingler became angry, cursed her and said he was coming over to "raise hell," the woman testified. Arriving at the Barrett's apartment Swingler is said to have started the row and drawn the gun. Swingler testified that Barrett owned the gun and was trying to "frame" him. The magistrate didn't take the gun story seriously, and Swingler was discharged. White Policemen Who Robbed Man Convicted Two former white policemen were found guilty by a jury in Queens County Court last week of the theft of $300 from Oscar Crembly, of Rockaway beach, last September. The former policemen, who were attached to the Rockaway Beach station, are Philip Kane and John Parascouly. George Bornstein, 174 Beach street, Arverne, also white, was convicted with them. They were sentenced Monday by Judge Adel. Crembley said that when he was arrested last fall on a disorderly conduct charge he had $39.38 on his person. This was taken from him by the three accused men, and only $39.38 was returned to him, he charged.

When the waters began to overflow the suburb of Edgewood, White, who works in the adjacent stock yards, hastily built a raft from commandeered timbers, voyaged among the submerged homes and brought twenty-five families to safety. He first placed his own home at the disposal of the refugees, but that was soon crowded and he provided shelter and straw beds for the others in box cars in the railroad yards. Meantime his wife was busy preparing hot coffee and food, and from Friday night until Monday morning the two furnished meals to the refugees and helped nurse a family of children who were ill with measles at the time of their rescue. Commenting editorially on the incident, the Times-Placayne says: "The submergence in that neighborhood persisted throughout Saturday and well into Sunday, but White and his wife faltered not nor failed in their well-doing. They cooked such food as was available and fed the rescued folk until Sunday night, when other relief finally reached them. This sustained and self-sacrificing service by an humble Negro family to its distressed white neighbors deserves place upon the permanent record, as surely as it will hold place in the memories of the families who were thus rescued and fed and sheltered. All residents of Edgwood, it is reported, are loud in their praise of White's heroic work. The entire community joins in that praise, which might fittingly be broadened, we think, to include Mrs. White, who cooked the meals and kept the coffee hot for the drenched people, who were brought out of their flooded homes by her husband and his hastily improvised raft." DISMISSAL OF SHAW PROFESSOR UPHELD Following a session held here recently in the rooms of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, the trustees of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., sustained the dismissal by the president, J. L. Peacock, of Prof. Lewis K. McMillan of the theological department of the University. Prof. McMillan had criticized the entire administration of President Peacock.

Chelsea Exchange Bank Appoints Negro to Bookkeeping Staff Edward B. Ward, Man Given Place in Harlem Branch Was Formerly Head Bookkeeper at Public National Bank Here Edward B. Ward, 203 West 145th street, the only Negro who, it is believed, has ever held the position of head bookkeeper in a white banking institution anywhere in the United States at any time, was recently appointed to the bookkeeping staff at the Chelsea Exchange Bank, Seventh avenue and 145th street, by Charles G. Rapp, vice-president. Although there was no vacancy at the Chelsea, a position was created for him by Mr. Rapp at the suggestion of Edward S. Rothschild, president. Mr. Ward came to the Chelsea very highly recommended from the Public National Bank, 107th street and Madison avenue, where he performed very creditable services for a period of nine years, having risen during the first three short years to the coveted position of head bookkeeper. A similar condition attended Mr. Ward's appointment in 1918 to the Public National, where the position was created for him at the suggestion of Anderson and Company, bankers, of Jacksonville, Fl. At the Public National Mr. Ward held, and still enjoys, the conditions, respect and good-will of the officials, auditors and clerical staff. At the age of 14 we have the one picture of a lad, possessing a natural aptitude for figures, dreaming, in his obscure home town of Marion, S. C. of becoming one of the country's outstanding accounts. Let the despairing here take courage! Ward graduated from Flagger High School, Marion, S. C. in 1857, and finished his studies at Normal College of Allen University, Columbia, S. C. in 1900, graduating as an honor student. For one year he taught as principal of Conway Graded School at Conway, S. C. and in 1902 visited Jacksonville, Flu. where opportunity impelled him to remain, in September, 1903. Ward became head hookkeeper and assistant for the Afro-American insurance Company of Jacksonville, where he remained until June, 1916. Upon very excellent recommendations, Mr. Ward accepted a similar position with Anderson and Company, bankers, of the same city, and remained with them during 1917 and 1918, and came to New York in the latter year. Then came his appointment to the Public National Bank. Mr. Ward, who has been a practicing public accountant since 1903, was a special student in accountancy at Columbia University from 1921 to 1925. The recent installation of book-keeping machines at the Public National displaced all their bookkeepers, but Ward was retained to the very last, his services terminating April 18. His appointment to Chelsea is his fourth position in twenty-seven years. Also Mr. Ward is auditor-in-chief for Imperial Lodge, I. B. P. O. Elks of the World and for United Sons of Georgia, of which latter organization he is an honorary memoir. The Grand United Order of Antelope of America may also boast of his name as a member, as well as the Bellman's Beneficial Association. The distinguished accountant's church affiliation has fallen to the Rendall Memorial Presbyterian Church, 170 West 130th street, where Mr. Ward is an elder and chairman of the board of trustees.

The dresses represented flowers and were worn by calendar club members according to the season. They ran the gamut—poinsettia for December, violet for May, chrysanthemum for September and in between came tulips, shamrocks, roses and dalies. The members made these dresses in the Tuesday Night Needlecraft. Club, Mrs. Emma Davis instructing. Mrs. M. T. Williams of the May Club made dresses for a group of children who lent a note of spring to the carnival. Paper dresses were not the only costumes abroad at the carnival, however. There were clowns about Spanish ladies and wild pirates from the Girl Reserve department. The brilliant red and gold uniforms of the Beaux-Arts Band must not be left out. The band and the kitchen orchestra from the Girl Reserve department shared honors for the musical events of the carnival. Delicious suppers were served each night by various committees of ladies. Things are booming in the physical department up at the top of the building! Great is the enthusiasm in the 30-day swim, similar to the six-day bike race. This swim is being conducted during May. Teams are formed with two members who alternate daily for a ten-minute swim to determine the greatest number of laps of the pool during the month. The team of Sheppard and Pickens, which has kept a place in the lead, has been upset by Reynolds and Bell. The object of this thirty-day swim is to give the girls the necessary endurance and confidence in long distance swims at beaches, lakes and camps. Registration is now open for classes in the summer school, which opens June 1 --- Y.W.C.A.

Value of College Frats Debated One Writer Calls Them Assets; Other Labels Them Useless What is doubtless the most interesting debate held in many years is that between James W. Ivy, a school teacher in Hampton, Va., and book critic for the Messenger magazine, and Raymond W. Cannon, president of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and a resident of Minneapolis, Minn., which appears in the June number of The Messenger, a Negro magazine published in New York City. "The alleged premise," says Ivy, "that college fraternities are working for the welfare of the school community and the ultimate triumph of the race is in truth altogether fantastic." He holds that since the advent of the "Frats" there has been a steady growth of snobbery and log-rolling on the campus, and that now "there are few meaningless and innocent college comradeships. "College organizations," he charges, "are now arenas where 'frat politicians demonstrate their knowledge of Mark Hanna and Tammany Hall." Mr. Ivy mercilessly arrains almost every phase of fraternity activity and concludes with the statement that "fraternities are to colleges and college life what the vermiform appendix is to the body: a trouble evoking and useless organ. Something that has no useful function, except to breed disease and large operation fees for its removal." Mr. Cannon is equally sure that college fraternities are not only useful but indispensable "College students" says he, "have all ways shown a more or less marked tendency to form themselves into societies. Whether founded upon a national, literary or social basis, such organizations seem to have been coeval with the colleges themselves. They have become of great importance and value to the colleges. The regular meetings of the chapters develop moral stamina and sterling character; they teach a respect for the rights of others and a brotherly love. "Our fraternities," continues Mr. Cannon, "are engaged in a militant and common effort for the uplift and betterment of race, promotion of the highest ideals in manhood, stimulation of interest in the higher and finer things of life, and development of the ability to serve. Their great programs of education, guidance and inspiration are responsible for something like fifty per cent of the students we have in college at present. This fact alone justifies their existence." The Messenger appears on the 20th of each month. VISITATION CLUB TO HAVE PLAYLET A playlet entitled "The Children's King" will be given by the Visitation Club for the benefit of St. John's M. E.

Walker Beauty Shoppe 110 West 36th Street --- Groups "As a group we have to be three things," the speaker said, in summarizing the reports given by the high school girls and as a conclusion to her own speech. "We have to be a group of Negro people, be individual Negroes, and be Negroes in a white group. The discussion groups were as follows: "Conduct of Negro girls in high school," led by Madeline McGhee of Julia Richman High School; "Attitude of Negro girls toward their work," led by Mabel Tuner of Wadleigh High School; "Attitude of teachers toward Ne- so girls," led by Elsie Williams of Julia Richman; "Relationship of white and Negro girls outside of classroom," by Belle Toblas of Wadleigh; "Relationship of Negro girls to Negro girls." Ruth Forede of Hunter College High School; "How may we bring forth in our schools the merits of Negroes?" led by Gladys Thorne of Julia Richman. That we are judged as a group and not as individuals; that Negro girls are not always as serious in their work as they should be; that teachers are of two types—some hostile to the group as a whole and some sympathetic to individuals and to the group; that Negro girls are often too submissive in clubs and classroom; that prejudices arise because girls are not as good 'mixers' as boys; that friendship should be based on merit and not on race; that we should, whenever possible, make contributions on Negro history, art, literature and music, not included in high school courses, are the findings of this meeting, as presented by the group leaders. Alpha Kappa Alpha, the first Greek letter sorority founded for Negro college women, is headed nationally by Mrs. Pauline Sims Puryear of Petersburg, Va.

Best Sport Pages in Greater New York NINE IN A ROW FOR LINCOLNS NINE IN A ROW FOR LINCOLNS Slam Out Two Victories Against Strong's Royals on Sunday The Lincoln Giants won their eighth and ninth successive victories on their home grounds this season, when they defeated the Brooklyn Royal Giants in a double header Sunday, May 15. It was the Brooklyn team's first appearance at Protectory Oval in two seasons and a large crowd of fans were on hand despite the inclement weather. The scores were 7-2 and 4-2. Is the first game Connie Recor almost shut out his former teammates, the two runs of the Brooklyn team being made in the last inning off hits by Smith and Brooks, The Lincoln hits Flomany hard and won the game with case. But the other contest was a pitcher's battle all the way, with Bill Holland and Lloyd's young pitching ace, Craig, as the opposing moundsmen. At the beginning of the ninth inning the Lincoln Giants were leading, 2-1. With two men out, "High pocket" Hudspeth slammed the ball over right field fence for a home run, tying the score. The Lincolnus untied it in short order when their heavy bitters came to bat. George Johnson. Mason and Montalvo got on bases through singles and then George Scales came up and broke up the game with a home run over the right field fence, his seventh of the season. Up to the last inning the pitching honors were about evenly divided between Craig and Holland, but with the Lincolnins making four hits in succession, the last inning, Craig got the better of the duel, allowing six hits for the game and Holland ten. Another real battle is expected at Protectory Oval this Sunday, May 22, when the Harrisonburg Glauces make their first appearance in New York. The Harrisonburg team, with Beckwith and Charleston, is a leading contender for championship honors and will make a real fight to dethrone the Lincolnins from first position.

"Rats" Henderson's pitching was too much for the home team, and the Bacharach Giants took the Hilldale Club into camp in the first game of the series at Hilldale Park, by the score of 5 to 2. Henderson was especially tight in the pinches, and left seven Hilldale runners stranded on the base paths and the reverse marked Hilldale's fifth straight defeat in league contests. Opposed to Henderson, Red Ryan of the home team was unsteady in the opening innings of play and the Giants amassed enough runs to clinch the argument. Eggie Dallard, the converted first backer of the Bears, pried open the game by socking one of Ryan's benders over the right field fence for the circuit. Frank Warfield was in a hitting mood and nicked Henderson's delivery for three of the home team's seven hits, two of them doubles. Clint Thomas returned to the Hilldale lineup for the first time since being injured in New York, but was forced to withdraw after three innings of play. In Saturday's contest, with Nip Winters serving them up, it was a different story. Hilldale's star southpaw silenced the visitors' bats, and materially aided the Daisies to a 4 to 2 triumph by pounding out a home run in the sixth inning. Dick Lundy selected Red Grier to do the pitching chores for the visitors, but after the former A. & T. schoolboy pitched to two men, he was yanked in favor of Roy Roberts. Three safe blows, all of the one base variety, were all that the Bees could do against Winter's hurling and but for his balk that staked the Bees to a run in the first inning and Stevens' miscue in the second that aided the second visitors' run, the Atlantic City team would have drawn blanks. The Hilldale players ran wild on the base paths, and pilfered seven sacks, working three successful double steals, one that resulted in a score when Warfield and Briggs executed a delayed steal, Warfield scoring. Chaney White and Clint Thomas covered the center field like a tent, and Billy Yancey, the Hilldale recruit, made a fancy stop of Farrell's smash in the ninth inning. NEWARK ELKS TO STAGE MEET NEWARK ELKS TO STAGE MEET Baseball Game Between New York and New Jersey One of Features Pride of Newark Lodge of Elks have on foot for Decoration Day one of the largest outdoor athletic carnivals that has ever been staged in the State of New Jersey and has secured the Newark School Stadium on Bloomfield avenue, corner of North Eighth street, for the affair. This carnival will consist of events open to churches, Sunday schools, Y. M. C. As, boys clubs, as well as special events arranged for fraternal organizations. One of the feature events of the day will be a baseball contest between the Mighty Monarch Lodge of New York City and Pride of Newark No. 15. This event will most likely prove one of the most interesting events of the day, due to the great rivalry between these two lodges. The committee, in arranging their program, have seen it that the old, as well as the young, will enjoy themselves at the meet. A special uniform drill contest will be held, which will bring together the various daughter Elks, as well as the brother Elks' Marching Clubs, competing for the handsome trophy which has been offered for this event. A band concert will be furnished by the Pride of Newark five-piece band, under the leadership of Bandmaster Irvin C. Ray. For each of these events hand-some silver loving cups will be donated by: Cosmopolitan Drug Store, Hon. George E. Bates, Dr. L. Jeroy Baxter, David D. Woody, Bank Street Tailoring Company, Dr. Thomas H. Wright, Charles Robinson, Gus Walker, Charles Roberts, Dr. R. W. H. Buckuer, Women's Civic League. STARS STOP JAMAICA TEAM Chappie Johnson's Dia mond Men Put a Crimp in Long Islanders Jamaica's winning streak was broken by Chapple Johnson's Colored Stars in the second game of a double-header at Carpenter's Oval, Jamaica, Sunday afternoon after Jamaica had won its eleventh straight by heating Portchester 6 to 4. Johnson's Stars won the second game by a score of 10 to 3. Al Tarr started on the mound for Jamaica, but hurt his arm in the first frame. He asked to continue, however, but when the visitors scored seven runs in the next two frames he was removed in favor of Josh Kempner, who finished the game despite the fact that he had worked nine innings against Portchester. Portchester gave Heinie Zimmerman's crew quite a scare when it scored three runs in the first and another in the third before a Jamaica man had crossed the plate. In the first frame Portchester made four hits, which were aided by an error by Zimmerman. Three of the hits were pop flies that fell safely behind the infield. Jamaica tied the count in the fourth. Stanley opening the bar rage against McNiff with a slashing double down the third base line. Delaney followed with a double that dusted the bag at third base, scoring Stanley, and Zimmerman singled. Parr beat out a bunt and Kling was safe on an error, Delaney scoring. Kemper walked and Downey singled, scoring Zimmerman and Parr. Jamala took the lead in the fifth and scored again in the seventh. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1927 In the ordinary course of an athletic event one would speak of the winner as having shown his heels to his opponents, but in the case of Bill (Bojangles) Robinson this is all turned around and we are forced to record that "Bo" showed his toes to his opponents last Saturday afternoon on 135th street when he again copped a race wherein he ran backwards while his opponents ran in the orthodox manner. The man successful enough to win from Robinson is going to have a lot said of him, for all over the country "Bojangles" has issued his defl and from all over the country he continues to bring in the trophies indicative of his superior ability over boys and men trained to run in the only way they know how. It was the local "Y" Juniors who thought the time had arrived to stop "Bo," but early Saturday evening another trophy was added to the already large number which have been on display at the office of the Amsterdam News, all belonging to this versatile performer who is just as god an athlete as he is an actor. Well, who's next? URUGUAYANS WIN AGAIN URUGUAYANS WIN AGAIN Despite Rain and Cold Weather, South Americans Show Class CHICAGO, May 15.—The speedy Uruguayan soccer eleven from Montevideo nosed out the Sparta eleven of Chicago here this afternoon, 1 to 6, in a hotly contested game. Despite cold and rain, more than eight thousand saw the contest. Scarce scored for Uruguay after thirty-three minutes of play in the first half, when he took the ball from Sparta's thirty-yard line, eluded his guard and dribbled down an open field to close quarters, where he caught the enemy goalkeeper fat-footed on a short shot. The Uruguayans started the game with a rush that carried the sphere far down into the enemy territory and it was only the timely work of H. Julian, the Sparta goalie, that kept them from scoring early in the game. The Americans found themselves and tried a drive to the Uruguayan goal, but the brilliant man-to-man defence of the invaders kept the Spartas guessing. The first part of the opening period saw the ball almost constantly in Sparta territory. After about twenty minutes' play the Chicago crew took the ball down and missed scoring twice only by small margins. Then the Uruguayans rallied and took the ball down the field for their first score at the end of thirty-three minutes' work. Sparta missed another chance to score within the next few minutes, when Pavlicek had the ball far down in enemy territory and an open field, but he waited too long before driving. The second period opened with the South Americans again plunging the ball into Sparta territory. As fast as the Spartans would punt out, a Uruguayan would be on the ball and boot it deeper into the local's territory. In a hard scrimmage Romano, the Uruguayan captain, was knocked out and had to be helped to the gidelines. Finnimore went in for him at outside right. After a tilt in their own territory, Sparta took the ball down the field and threatened for the first time in the period, but were thrown back and put on the defensive again. After missing a goal by a narrow margin the Uruguayans lost the ball twice and were sent on defence, but Sparta seemed to lack the punch necessary to score. CUBAN STARS SWEEP SERIES Dihigo on Rampage—Hits Three Homers in One Game RICHMOND, Va. — Alexandro Pompez' Cuban Stars got going at the expense of the Hilldale Club when the Islanders proceeded to treat the Dalsies rough in the first series of league games staged on Dixie territory. The Stars by superior stick work bagged all three of the contests that were hotly fought. Martin Dihigo, the versatile player of Pompez' squad, established a record by slamming out three home runs and a single out of four trips to the plate in the first contest that the Cubans won 12 to 7. Two of Dihigo's homers came with the bases loaded, making him responsible for nine of the Stars' runs. The other two games went to the Cubans by 8 to 5 and 6 to 5 scores. Promoter Babe Morris tendered an elaborate program preceding the opening game. A monster parade headed by the Elks' band, with traternal and social organizations in line, paraded the town. Robert Scott, one of Richmond's leading citizens, tossed out the first ball and the band tendered a concert between the innings. WEDNESDAY'S GAME. HILLDALE.

The Hampton institute Seasiders walloped the Union Panthers in a one-sided affair on Armstrong Field Thursday, May 12, 7 to 3. The visitors were kept under complete control and did not give any threats until the sixth inning, when Moore started what might have been a rally. The Seasiders were playing an unusual brand of ball and everything that even threatened was soon removed. While both teams played well, the untimely errors by both were big factors in the scoring. In the opening innings Byrd of Hampton scored on his three-bagger when Ruffin threw wild to home plate. From this point on the Panthers were kept in constant danger by Byrd's heavy swing. Adams' pitching was very effective up to the ninth, when Moore started a rally that only netted his teammates one tally. The unerring eye of Capt. Williams and his teammates did much to aid Adams at this particular point. Both teams were honored with colorful players on the field and at the bat. Union had Ruffin, left field; Moore, first base, and McFarlane, catcher; while Hampton had Byrd, center field; Castor, right field. Butler, left field, and Harris, first base. R. H. E.

P. Allen in the New York Sun, "that the time is not far distant when Negro players will be admitted to the important tournaments and national championships of the United States Lawn Tennis Association. A sign of the advancement in this direction is the election of Richard Hudlin as captain of the University of Chicago team. Hudlin hails from Missouri. He is rated as No. 7 on the list of the American Tennis Association, which is the organization governing the Nega players in this country. Last season Hudlin, who is credited with a powerful service and a great skill at volleying, stood as quarter-finalist in the national championship for players for his career at St. Louis. He won the local St. Louis championship, and was a semi-finalist in a special Chicago tournament. While on his tour around the world, the Duke of York engaged in 10 matches at Jamaica, West Indies, and the United States. Highness paired with B. M. Clark, a Negro, and the foremost player of the islands. They defeated C. W. Doorkey and T. P. Evelyn at set 63, the only set its Royal Highness won. In another doubles Clark, playing against the royal visitor, defeated him. A spectator who saw the match writes: "I was much interested in watching the tennis at King's House, as His Royal Highness the Duke of York has quite a considerable reputation as a player apart from his exalted position. As most of us know, the duke is a left-handed player, what the Irish call "Kithongue," and the most left-handers, when he bowlers or serves, he has a natural spin, which distinctly bothered his opponents. He is one of the very, very few players who prefer a backhand forehand shot, and this is easy enough to underexperience, to watch him play, for his backhand and forehand, routinely timed swing which nearly always lands in the place least desired by his opponents, while his forehand a much more powerful shot—is distinctly erratic. "He has a fine knowledge of position and his alertness could teach many a lesson. A perfect knowledge of volleying stance and good judgment of service complete a tennis equipment which many of us would like to own." SALMON WHIPS J. HOFFMAN Salem = Crescent Fighter Continues to Pile Up Victories in Amateurs Lemuel Salmon, of the Salem-Crescent A. C., won the decision over Justin Hoffman, National A. C., after three hectic rounds of slugging at the Columbus Council clubhouse last Friday night. Salmon has won quite a name for himself at the K, of C. clubhouse by disposing of his opponents in fig time. But he had to fight hard to beat Hoffman, as the National A. C. representative was right there swinging hard all the time. Salmon tried to enduate a tough in the first round, swinging a strong right savagely, but Hoffman was on his toes and quickly sidestepped his opponent and shot in a left that was effective. The boys tired considerably near the close of the second canto, but not for long, as they were at it hammer and tongs after the bell sounded for the final round. Salmon deserved the decision. He scored an impressive knockout in his first fight of the evening, putting away Sid Zukor in the quick time of one minute and 40 seconds in the initial round. 115-Form Class—Thomas Kewayne, 115-Form Class—E.

Paul will need all of his former ability to grab the helmet, light his weapon and aid horses for Jack DeJave and many others who failed to outpoint him. Jake is one of the fastest men in the light-heavy brigade. AL BROWN, Panama bantanweight and featherweight champion, who has been sojourning in Paris, Malta and another victim to his already long foreign list when he outpointed a spinnated fighting under the name of Jake DeJave. But in Paris Tuesday evening of last week, Al has not lost a contest since he departed from New York several months to invade France and other countries. George Stewart, Salem-Crescent Club who was declared the boss in the welterweight division. After a bit of fighting, he and his team likely enter the professional ranks. TOMMY LOUGHRAN claims he has won a NEGBO, but if Walt Miller continues to give a chance to Tiger Flowers he given a chance with him he will have to take the Georgian with it, with only news imperfect present. Tiger column like so much bunk. Miller has called Tommy's bluff by asking that he be paid $10,000. Don't sound bad, but well gamble nothing more will be heard of the proposition. SAILOR DARDEN, who has been boxing as many years back as column can remember, was outpointed in a six-round star bout by Harry King, at the Knockout tournament. BILLY WASHINGTON, lightweight boxer, formerly of Chicago, defeated Franklin Hayes in a six-round contest in the Infantfight Tour, and scored a victory. Hayes fell in each of the six sessions by a wide margin and had his opponent on the verge of a knockout when the final gong sounded. WHILE Tex Rickard and Walk Miller are fighting Jack Kearns to make him produce the 100th boxing match of the world, in a promised return match against Tiger Flowers this summer, the good beacon intends to serve four fights of his regular schedule of bouts. The Tiger was scheduled to box Eddie Huffman in Boston Monroe next Monday night and New Haven next at Toledo May 27. LEMUEL SALMON, welterweight amateur scrampler of the Salemons' Club score, was the captain of the Knights of Columbus Clubhouse. Brooklyn, Monday evening of last week, the hours were eagerly filled by the veterans of Foreign Wars of the U. S. Salmon showed more class than any other Simon Dure in the ring. He was a member of the honors, kayaking Frank Ayers in the preliminaries and Ed. Lawson in the finals of the 11-pound division. Balls were thrown by Simon, who looked more than ten pounds heavier than Salmon, was showing up well for the first minute, but later in the eight swing that handed squarely on Ayers' chin for a clean trick to the arms of the Tennis club hosted on minute and ten second. THE OUTCOME of the New York State Tamaleon hosting championships that had been held on Thursday evening produced two bays of color who will sport the crown of his jersey. Joe Tatum reached the finals and made a bid for honors in the middleweight class but was shaded by the crowd. The winner having gained the honor a year ago. The new champions are Sylvan Taylor out in the II-Taipa class, and SALMON SHOWS REAL CLASS Harlem Boy Had an Easy Time in the Finals Last Week Lemuel Salmon of the Salem-Crescaut A. C. scored two knockouts in the amateur show at the Knights of Columbus clubhouse Monday night of last week. The bouts were staged by the Argonne Post 107. of the Veterans of Foreign Wats of the U. S. The crowd was disappointing. Salmon showed more class than any other boy in the ring. He had an easy time with both opponents, knocking out Frank Ayers in the preliminaries and Ed Lawson in the finals of the 147-pound division. Both knockouts were in the first round. Ayers, who looked more than 10 pounds heavier than Salmon, was showing up well for the first few minutes of battle, when suddenly Salmon let go a right swing that landed squarely on his opponent's chin and dropped him for a cold knockout. The blow had so much power behind it that Ayers was lifted off the ground before he started for the canvas. Salmon had an easy time in the final, putting aawy Ed Lawson of the Trinity Club in the quick time of one minute and ten seconds. After a few points Salmon let his right fly and it spilled curtains for Lawson, although the blow was not so forceful as the one that won his first fight. Johnny Lazzara of the Mission Club had hard tussle to win over Joe McCarthy in the final 11S-ound class bout. A grandstand finish earned him the decision. Al Monroe, hailing from the Mission Club, scored a knockout in his preliminary bout, but lost to Vincent Marcelli in the finals after three hectic rounds.

TOMMY LOUGHRAN claims he has boxed a NEGRO, but if Walk Miller, the Tiger Flowers be given a chance with him he will have to take the Georgian on his private: that is, with only new-age column like so much bunk. Miller has called Tommy's bluff by asking that he box for fighter and for a side; but of $1,000, not a bad, but well gamble nothing more will be heard of the proposition. SAILOR DARBEN, who has been boxing as many years back, column can remember, was outpainted in a six-round star bout by Harry Eibets, Freeport knockout king, at the Bench Arena last Saturday night. Darlen took all Eibets had to offer and then he was running a poor finished strong. The Sailor likes a distance, as it usually takes him six or more rounds to get warmed up. YOUNG HARRY WILLS, San Diego Cal., knocked out Young Jimmy Cottrell of Spokane, Wash., in the ninth round of the round up at Prunelsoo, last Friday evening. On the same program John Lester Johnson, formerly of this city, knocked out Huntsville, Florida, in the sixth spasm of a scheduled ten. TIGER FLOWERS, of Atlanta, Ga., outpointed Chuck Wiggins, of Indi- nation, in the ninth round at Grand Rapids, Mich. last Friday evening. Flowers had Wiggins twenty ninth sessions, but was unable to make him hear the BIRDIES sing. EMUEL SALM, Salmon Crescent A.

WILEY TOO MUCH FOR INDIANS Red Caps Maintained Advantage From the First Inning For the fourth time this season the Hawtree Indians split a double-header. Sunday afternoon at Community Field they defeated the College Point Cardinals in the opener, 6 to 1, and then lost the feature game to the speedy Penn Red Caps, 5 to 2. Playing the Red Caps' twirling ace proved too much for the Hawtrees in the nightcap. He struck out 11 of the home batters and was master of the situation throughout. The colored lads got a run in the opening frame and maintained the advantage until the end.

Hampton and Bordentown Win in C.I.A.A. Championship Track Meet Hampton and Bordentown Win in C.I.A.A. Championship Track Meet Lincoln's Fast Relay Team Meets Defeat — Hampton Cops Relay for Walker Trophy — Breaux, of Union, Wins First HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va., May 14.—In a downpour of rain that failed to dampen the spirits of the contestants and spectators, Hampton's Blue and White trackmen and Bordentown's sprinters from New Jersey won on points in the sixth annual C.I.A.A. championship track meet. All the thirty-four events were hotly contested, although at times the rain was blinding to the runners. The time, distance, and height for a number of the events were lowered to a great extent, due to the downpour. Union University of Richmond was second to Hampton's 79 points with 29 for the collegiate division, and Manassas High School of Manassas, Virginia, was second to Bordentown's 34½ points with 21½. Three teams took their marks (Hampton, Lincoln and St. Paul) for the major event of the meet the mile collegiate relay. Stratton of Lincoln snatched the lead from Snowden of Hampton and gained about twenty yards. Derry, of Lincoln, running second, lost about five yards to Clark of Hampton, while Fletcher of Lincoln conceded the balance of the fifteen yards distance to Gray of Hampton. Baldwin of Hampton and Strickland of Lincoln ran an even race for about 220 yards and then Baldwin pulled out to bring the "Madame C. Walker Collegiate Mile Relay Cup" as permanent property of the Hampton track team after three consecutive years of winning. The thrill came in the third lap, when George Gray picked up the 15-yard lead that Lincoln had, and when Baldwin beat Lincoln's star anchor man to the tape by about four yards. Breaux of Union took the century, the 220 and the broad jump. Baker of Hampton also brought in three first places, which makes a tie between the two men for high point man of the meet. Bob Coles of Hampton, running for his last time in a C. I. A. A. meet, clipped 10 2-5 seconds off his old two-mile record of 10 26 4-10. His lead over the pack was fully three-fourths of a lap, and when he came in he was just as cool, apparently, as when he started. Coles' old record was set in 1924. The Robert S. Abbott Quarter-Mile Loving Cup was taken by Joe Bladwin of Hampton in one of the two spectacles in a field of Blue Bears boxed in on the start and had to fight for the lead taken by Strickland of Lincoln, but he remembered his experience gained last year when boxed in on the turn. His time was good for a wet, muddy track and a downpour of driving rain The Frank Young National High School One-Mile Relay Cup was won by Manassas High School, Manassas, Virginia, in 2 41 3-10. Bordontown was second and Harrison High of Roanoke third. The competition was not as tight as it was in years back, Mr. Frank A. Young, donor of the beautiful loving cup, was present at the meet. The Virginia High School Quarter-Mile Relay Cup was also taken by Manassas. Two records fell before the feet of the track man. The first record fell to Bryant of Lincoln. The old record of $3 9½ was beaten by an inch and one-half in the shot put. The second record fell to Coles in the two mile run when he clipped the 2 0-5 seconds off his old record. On a whole the meet came up to all expectations and was successful in every way. The rain in many instances interfered, but the spectators donned their raincoats and put up their umbrellas and stayed to the finish SCORE OF POINTS.

JUNE LST We're Letting You In On a Little Secret Our Hearts Were in Our Mouths Last Tuesday Night When This Chicago Band Opened Here --- We Feared It Might Not Be So Good "Battle of Jazz" Stirs Vast Crowd Nation's Leading Bands Vie With Each Other for Honors at the Savoy In years to come historians will record that day of days when four of the world's most famous orchestras met on a common battlefield and jazzed their way into the hearts of thousands of enthusiastic dancers who came and saw—and were subsequently conquered. Not since Grant took Richmond, nor even since Sherman said war was what he said it was has such a gripping, stirring sensation swept the nation as this remarkable battle of "Jazz Warfare," which took place last Sunday, May 15, at the nationally famous Savoy Ballroom in New York's Harlem. "In one place, under one roof, at one time, who is there can we remember the time when such personalities as Fletcher Henderson with his soul stirring army of blue blowers; King Oliver, the big man who reversed Horace Greeley's words and told his boys to "go East, young men, there are new fields to conquer"; Fess Williams, just a young fellow who fairly reeks with personality, and who has more than 100,000 music lovers eating out of the hollow of his hand; and last, but not least, that great big little fellow, Chick Webb, who stands 3 feet 2 inches in his stocking feet and weighs seventy-five pounds soaking wet—all gathered together here, their eyes bulging, their chests heaving, their hands itching to grab their saxophones and trombones and trumpets, each striving to outplay, outbast, outshine his famous neighbor. These four wonderful hands actually raised the roof with their melodies. The building shook with applause, the throngs went, wilt with enthusiasm as each one of these music masters sent forth their hands. Those thousands who were unable to gain admittance are to be pitied. It is a sad state, indeed, when one cannot enter the portal. where the famed ones of the earth are pitted against each other in an effort to entertain a community starving for its music—and such music as it is and was, they will surely have to wait for many, seasons before such as opportunity is presented again. It is difficult at this writing to determine who won this historical battle of music. In the humble opinion of this writer, the people were the winners. Like crazed spectators at a prize fight during a crucial moment, the giddy mob of dancers swayed and gyrated back and forth to the alluring melodies of each aggregation of stars, seemingly unconscious as to who was playing just as long as that heaven-sent music continued and didn't stop. One little lady was-heard to say, "Please, Mr. Music; Man, I don't care if you're the best here, but don't you stop that music, never." Fletcher: "Henderson and his gang evoked cheers. Folks said, "There just can't be better music played." when up step old boy King Oliver from Chicago, who sent the boys scurrying hither and thither looking for girls to dance to that Chicago rhythm, which seems to make your feet step around like on air. "Ain't that too?" was heard on all sides, followed by a call of disappointment, when Oliver or for a moment to allow the boys to catch their breaths. And suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, a great cheer shook the house to its framework. As the din and noise died away a few notes of the most wonderful music creeped through to our hearing, and Io and behold, there was the personality king himself, Mr. Fess Williams, with his broad smile backed up by a chanting, ranting group of syncapitors, who sent your blood racing through your veins with the stuff they dished out. Would this crowd never get enough? One would have thought so till our little friend, Chick Webb, stepped right up and proceeded to knock them cold, just as he has been doing right along. The Savoy Ballroom management reserves congratulations for providing Harlemites with such stirring entertainment. The opportunity to hear all of these favorites is now indeed as well as costly. Those who attended the battle of music last Sunday will never forget it. Jazz held sway, and the masters who contributed to the world of art, letters and music grounded and turned over in their graves.

C. P. Johnson, presiding as tostmaster, called on Dr. Oma H Price, president of the Chapter, who gave a resume of the Chapter's activities during the year, and paid a glowing tribute to the fighting spirit of the team. Each member of the team made short talks, each paying special tribute to the sterling work of Captain Avery and Coach Charlie Mock. Allen M. ("Buddy") Avery, Illustrious and aggressive center of the Sigma team, was unanimously re-elected captain for the season of 1927-1928. In a speech after his re-election Captain Avery thanked the fellows for the honors, which they had so generously bestowed upon him. That it would always be his constant ambition and consoling purpose to uphold the standards of Sigma. He predicted that if the fellows continued their loyal support of the team as they did during the past season, next season will produce a champion Sigma team. The toastmaster gave an eloquent summary of the Sigma spirit that had prevailed during the year. For Satisfaction Secure Johnny Bryant's "Melodians" Dance Music Artists For Rates, Tel.

Do You Know That: One of the most famous vocal teachers of Europe is of Negto blood. A famous bandmaster of the German Army is a Negro. Several Negroes are graduates of the famous Paris Conserva- tory, : One of the teachers of Chamin- ade was a Negro in Paris. ‘There are two Negro giris in European Grand Opera this sea- son, A school in Russia ts named for Pushkin, the great poet of Negro blood. ‘The first string quartette ever written In France was done by a Negro. Two Negroes have been court violinists, one in Spain and the other in Brazil, At one time the conductor of the Opera at Bordeaux, France, was a New Orleans Negro. Accomplished Negroes in London Attracting Great Attention John Payne and Louis Drysdale Singled Out for Complimentary Mention on Fine Work Apropos of an article from the pen of Professor Louis Drysdale of London, England, appearing in another column of today's Amsterdam News, it is gratifying to note that both Professor Drysdale and John Payne continue to attract favorable attention in their spheres in Europe. The London Musical Courier of very recent date has singled out these two gentlemen of color for special mention, and in reproducing same it is with the idea of lending encouragement to those in the same lines of endeavor. Says the Courier: "There is a touch of romance in the career of Mr. John Payne, the JOHN H. BROWN Negro baritone, whose recitals in London have afforded our public the opportunity of hearing his imitable singing of Negro spirituals. Negro folk songs, and those in Negro dialect. Mr. Payne is a singer with an outstanding personality, and his interpretations of the songs of his people are given with a musical and artistic effect that greatly enhances their appeal. He was born in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1872, from parents who were originally slaves. The early part of his life was spent in California, where his voice and talent attracted attention, and he was a member of a quartet that toured the States for two seasons. Subsequently he came to London for serious study, and the results have been most gratifying. "Subsequently he visited the States, where he won an artistic success, and formed the trio. The Southern Three, which has visited the Continent and are now singing in "The Blackbird" at the London Pavilion. The trio consists of Mr. John Payne, Miss Mabel Meren and C. C. Rosemond. Mr. Payne has harmonized many of the spirituals, folk songs and those in Negro dialect. Their singing has made them and their numbers very popular with the public. "The standard of vocal art has risen so high that many things are required of both teacher and singer which formerly were not considered necessary. Every year shows a greater number of our English voices and those from different parts of our Empire acquiring a greater proficiency in voice production and a more advanced culture in interpretation that will eventually win for us an acknowledged foremost place among the singers of the world. "There we have no question but that we have both the vocal talent and intelligence, but where we have lacked is in not realizing how serious a matter music itself and learning to sing is, and that it is a long study and artistic growth. Among our teachers who are succeeding in training our young singers, Mr. Louis Drysdale is taking a prominent place. He has the great advantage of a keen intuitive sense of rhythm which is the life of music, and which is inherent in his race. He is a well-trained musician, and in the matter of his own training he had the best masters, who have taught him the true principles of the old Italian School. This is based on legato, which rests on the sense of rhythm; and thus his bel canto teaching is all the more effective as he illustrates it so convincingly in his own singing. He is a serious musician, and his instruction helps the pupil to "LUCKY SAMBO" SCORING AT LAFAYETTE "Redemption" Scores at Manhattan Casino They're at the Douglas Theatre THE BAND DON DAVID (Center) and His Popular Orchestra.

His own sincerity leads the student to realize that art is real and only gives its rewards to those who have proved by their works to be deserving. He has the natural aptitude for teaching, which helps the pupil to make as rapid progress as is consistent with true development, and to make of those singers who stay long enough with him artists of the highest accomplishment. "Many of our eminent singers seek his aid as well as those who aspire to a singer's career.

LOUIS DRYSDALE In the first place, I always make a special rule before each lesson, and to each student, to give a clear explanation and demonstration of the opening of the throat, showing the soft palate and uvula, the raising of both being absolutely essential and necessary to the easy and natural opening of the throat, giving the student the correct position for the forward and clear production of tone, which is undoubtedly the great secret of the Italians, especially in legato passages; and also the secret of the foundation of a voice which is always even and beautiful in quality throughout the whole of its compass. The question of registers or the creation of such does not appeal to A. —(Prof. Louis Drysdale)—led to his being recognized not only throughout the United Kings dom but in the United States and in the Dominions. He is rapidly establishing an international reputation which will make him sought by an ever increasing number of vocalists as the fame of those he teaches spreads round the world." Play Sponsored by Church for Orphanage The St. Peter Claver Players are to stage their second Broadway success on Thursday evening, May 19, at the Academy of Music, when they will present "Daddy Longlegs." The players are communicants of St. Peter Claver's Colored R. C. Church, at Jefferson avenue and Claver place, which was dedicated by its pastor, the Rev. Bernard Quinn. in 1822. Since its foundation and through the efforts of Father Quinn and his associate, the Rev. Alphonso Rickert, these thesplans have progressed rapidly in their new sphere. Up to 1922 Brooklyn jacked a church the colored Catholies might call their own. Father Quinn was chosen by the bishop to establish such a church and a year later a parochial school was opened. It has now 150 pupils. A new problem has cropped up that will necessitate more expenditures, the colored orphans of the Roman Catholic faith. The money raised by the play Thursday evening will go to a fund for an orphanage. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1927 "La Scienza Della Voce" Just a Few Explanations on My Method of Teaching This Beautiful Art By PROF. LOUIS DRYSDALE In the first place, I always make a special rule before each lesson, and to each student, to give a clear explanation and demonstration of the opening of the throat, showing the soft palate and vyula, the raising of both being absolutely essential and necessary to the easy and natural opening of the throat, giving the student the correct position for the forward and clear production of tone, which is undoubtedly the great secret of the Italians, especially in legato passages; and also the secret of the foundation of a voice which is always even and beautiful in quality throughout the whole of its compass. The question of registers or the creation of such does not appeal to me; because I believe in the rightly produced voice—a voice without a break and one with the same production from its lowest to its highest notes. By giving the clearest explanation and demonstration, I find it a pleasure to teach because my students then understand very easily, and from practical knowledge thus gained, they can improve their voices to the aimmost in quality, range, power and artistic control. The attacking point at "top nose" or "over nose," "between eyes," "into face," with the continual humming sound, is the keynote to resonance, which is the secret of expression of every description in the "art of singing," and this depends absolutely on the right opening of the throat, which I endeavor at all times to teach my pupils until its noton becomes subconscious. When this is acquired, all feeling of one's throat disappears, the tone then flows freely intothe resonance chambers, that is "into face," etc. becomes clear, bright and dignified, rings through the head and vibrates against upper teeth. Thus the tone becomes "human," is easily produced and is a source of comfort and pleasure to the artistic singer. Nature predominates then, one's every thought of expression and feeling is carried to one's listeners through the tone of one's voice and not by contortional gestures, commonly called "style" by those who do not understand and realize the simplicity of the greatness of this beautiful art. Singing impressively or expressively is emotional; indicative of the thoughts within. It must always be the outcome, the natural outcome, of the singers' innate ability to express music, to arrive at this point of excellence when the newly produced voice is clearly understood and acquired. rightly produced voice is very well. The teaching and demonstration of this to my pupils is my daily work from which I derive the greatest pleasure and satisfaction. This beautiful art, because singing is undoubtedly the most beautiful of appealing art, is within the reach of many, and though one may be the possessor of only a small voice, with the right kind of temperament it is remarkable what intense pleasure and happy result can be gained by the ardent student. gained by work, intellect, musical talent and instinct, and plenty of work are all necessary for the making of a great artist. "Lucky Sambo" Scores Again Midnight Benefit at the Lafayette Drew in More Money Than Any Other With Billy Higgins and a host of others well known here the "Lucky Sambo" company got off to a flying start at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday, and indications point to a banner week during the run of the popular offering. In speaking of this show we are reminded to remark that one of the local publications lifted bodily the account we had of the coming of the production in last week's Amsterdam News, and right in the first column of their theatrical column too. Well, it's alright, fellows, the more they pan the more you show them how well you think of the old ean. Tuesday evening of last week the benefit staged in behalf of the flood sufferers drew a house that responded with more than twenty-five hundred dollars, the largest sum taken at any local theatre and that because everything was given free, which included the music, ushers, etc. The bill was one of the best assembled and included such well known performers and revues as Miller and Lyles, Bill Robinson, Ethel Waters, Jack McVeigh, Charles Glipin, Noble Slesge, Evelyn Preer, Sarah Martin, Jack Townsend, The Two Black Dots, The Taskiana Four, Billy Gumby, Mae Barnes, Lavinia Mack, Jazz Lips Richardson, Jr., Harris and Holley, Connelle's Inn Revue, The Cotton Club, The Gay Harlem Company.

Martin Recital Scores Again Enthusiastic Gathering Give Voice to Appreciation for Splendid Program The twentieth annual Martin-Smith recital was held on Friday evening. May 13, at the New Manhattan Casino. 155th street and Eighth avenue. The program opened under the direction of Mr. David I. Martin Jr., assisted by the talented group of the Martin School students. The recital began promptly at 8:30 p.m., before an almost packed house, indicating the high interest which is continually displayed at the public functions of the Martin institution The program, which was divided into three parts, opened with the exhibition work by students of the Martin school. The first number on the program, proper, was a waltz in E Flat, by Durand, which was well rendered and enthusiastically received. The pianist, Mr. William Henry, displayed a finished technique and was given a well deserved encore. There were many splendid young violinists presented to the public upon this occasion, which proved beyond doubt that the Martin school is still living up to its reputation for developing and presenting original talent The Young People's Orchestra, under the leadership of the versatile Gertrude E. Martin, was almost an innovation. It sent the audience wild with applause with its excellent rendering of Hayden's Military Symphony. The third portion of the program under the direct leadership of Mr. David I. Martin Jr. was the most brilliant and at the same time the most high-class musical treat of the evening's recital. This entire portion of the program showed Mr. Martin at his best, and apoved conclusively that he is, indeed, a musical genius. The choral singing under the leadership of Miss Sonoma C. Talley opening with the favorite "Hark! Hark! My Soul," was entertainingly rendered in memory of the departed and lamented leader, David I. Martin Sr. The final number on the program was characterized by some of the most excellent form of orchestration which has been witnessed by the writer for many a day. The crowd, which, as is usual at the Martin recitals, showed its appreciation by offering long and repeated salvos of applause.

If asked, what human value is of most worth, the inevitable answer would be health. Wealth, knowledge, culture and goodness are of inestimable value to a race or to an individual, but health is basic of them all. For, without health, the other values would be of little or no advantage. The mad rush for racial attainment and achievement will only lead to vanity and vexation of spirit unless they be based upon a sound fabric of physical stamina. The Negro race in the United States has not yet sustained the severest test of survival in the midst of a white environment. The last census showed a lamentable decline in the rate of increase, which if conformed by later enumerations, spells the early or ultimate decline of the African contingent on this continent. Already gloomy statistical philosophers are predicting such a fate. In an article published in the Scientific Monthly, several years ago, I undertook to show by analysis of the census reports that the apparent retrograde tendency of the Negro population was due to imperfec -: Morton's Decline "Local Leader Not Consulted on Dyett's Appointment" THE recent appointment of Lawyer Thomas B. Dyett to the place made vacant in the office of the District Attorney, New York County, by the demise of James McLendon, brings into sharp relief a distinct evolution in the relationship of the Harlem Negro to the Democracy of New York City. This evolution is the more marked because of the peculiar circumstance under which the Negro Democrat has maintained his connection with that party. The original plan under which the Negro voter entered the ranks of the Tammany Hall differed not one whit from the settled custom of the Democracy of the South. The Negro was invited to vote for the party candidates but not to mix with those candidates in his district organizations; not to maintain those checks and balances upon the party machine which the law provided. For this lesson he was herded into the Jim Crow unit of the tail end of the Democracy which, for the want of a better name, was called the "United Colored Democracy." In this ephemeristic arrangement was to be found the limits of the activities of the black Democrat. Here he must find enjoyment and satisfaction; here he must gain his knowledge of the political mannerisms of the Fourteenth street organization. All Negroes of whatever education and social status must like out their political being, if a member of the Democratic party, of the city through this Jim-Crow affiliation. This sad reflection upon the decency and self-respect of the Negro Democrat continued without criticism or objection for more than twenty years. Murphy, the great "God Democrat," would not think of changing the policy of the organization in respect to the Negro voter which had been established by Richard Croker; and so although the numbers and the quality of the colored Democrat bad undergone, corresponding changes with the march of the Democracy in the City of New York, the blind faith of the Negro Democrat in the infallibility of great, white "Father" closed his mouth and blinded his eyes to the antiquarian character of this system. As is usual with the Negro citizen, whenever any attack is made upon the judgments, or upon any of the acts of the great, white "Father," he who is the victim of such acts or judgments a race to gain the whole world ish, or what will a race give in health? If asked, what human the inevitable answer would be culture and goodness are ove or to an individual, but health without health, the other valu- no advantage. The mad rush achievement will only lead to sirit unless they be based upon stamina. tions in the census office rather than to the degenerative tendency of the race. My position was strongly combated by a sponsor of the census office, published in a subsequent issue of the same journal. The next census will confirm or refute my contention. I shall be keenly on the alert, as soon as the 1030 figures are available. In the meantime, I confess, the slowing up of the birth rate gives me much concern. The shift towards the North and the cityward tendency trend in the same direction. The Negro's death rate is something like 50 per cent higher than that of the whites. If the birth rate Morton's ICHABOD, THY GLOR ICHABOD, THY GLORY HATH DEPARTED finds ready defense for those acts and judgments. And so for years the sons of this accursed benefence found police, if foolish, reply to those of the colored group which attacked this system from without. No one elecent in the development of the Negro citizen in the City of New York has had such distressing influence upon his growth as has the United Color- Edgar M. Grey ed Democracy. It was conceived in ignorance, born from the weakness of the Negro voter, and grew in the vile medium of prejudice and corruption. When finally, in 1912, Robert Wood came to his leadership, those who could read the true heart of the Negro took new hope, feeling certain that this great citizen would see the light, and would surely bring about the necessary changes. But he did not. The solution in which he was forced to swim was too highly charged with the thick slime of corruption to permit of the tree and easy movement of his mind and volition. Mr. Wood died. By a queenly irony of fate the present incumbent was given the so-called leadership of the miniature Tammany Hall, the United Colored Democracy. Men hoped at the time that his training at Harvard—a mixed school—would surely assert itself and that he would usher in a new day for the Negro citizen who sought political remedies in the Democracy. But men like power and the adulation of their fellowmen; they delight to bask in the garden of deference which is shown to them by those upon whom society had not smiled so generously, and so they plunge head-on into a policy of drift, and as Dean Pickens puts it,发展到 "wisdom." But this wisdom is damaging to interest of masses, and therefore detrimental to the progress of the group. This condition drifted along until 1921, when the Democracy decided that the time had come to place in nomination the name of another Negro man for elective office it had previously, in 1919, placed the name of J. Frank Wheaton in nomination. At this time it was discovered that this nomination had to proceed from the regular district Bu EDGAR M. GREY A PLEA FOR RACIAL HEALTH falls to keep pace, the proclaimed result is easily predictable. The health of the race can only be safeguarded through the Negro physicians. We can no more rely upon the white physicians to look after the health of A. E. SEAN KELLY MILLER the race than we can rely upon the white teacher for effective instruction of our children or upon the white ministry for inti- nate moral guidance. Personal sympathy and social touch are essential for the proper and ef- With because the United Colored Democracy was not organized for the function of nominating candidates. Under the Direct Primaries Law, the county commiteeemen in each election district have the power to designate the candidates whose names shall be submitted to the electorate for nomination. This plan presupposes the existence of a machine for this purpose. It means that the regular county commiteeemen should have to be the designating instrument in this case, and since no provision had been made by the Board of Elections of the City of New York for the operation of a Jim Crow system of county commiteeemen elections, the United Colored Democracy could not function, except to vote for the candidates at the general elections. This caused, for the first time, a definite conflict. At this point a leader of the United Colored Democracy, fired with zeal to be of service to his people, would have made but one choice, would have come to the parting of the ways with "old Mr. Jim Crow" and would have demanded that the organization forever abolish this offensive form of party affiliation. Instead Fordinand Q. Morton Harvard graduate. Northern educated, pedantic and imposing in demeanor, permitted his desire for power without effort to engage him in a losing battle against the march of the times. For he at once declared war upon any Negro citizen of Democratic persuasion who sought to gain the self-respect which had been lost to his predecessors in the past by seeking membership in the district clubs. As a result, the gains which had been made by the Democracy in the wave of resentment against the blunders of the Republican party in the Harding administration, were lost to that party because of the automatic rule exercised by the leader of the United Colored Democracy. Men were given positions in the city government who had never cast a vote for the Democracy of the city; the criminal and underworld classes were heeded, while the counsel and the suggestion and the loyalty of the respectable element in the party went unheeded, unrewarded, and unaccented. The affairs of the organization were entrusted to those who had lost their reputations either because of criminal convictions against them, or because of the unsavory standing enjoyed by them in the community. The leaders of underworld gangs and keepers of hawdy-houses and cabarets were consulted about the appointment of men to public office, and the merit system, which even in the Tammany Hall was always the basis of preference, was discarded. To say United Colored Democracy was to say "underworld," and the inevitable rement on the part THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1927 Bu KELLY MILLER fective dealing with human needs. The Negro physicians, as a class, have fully vindicated the self-direction of the race in the most vital and essential function. The health of the race has been placed in their keeping, and they have more than met all reasonable expectation. We have here a body of professional men, equipped according to the scientific and professional requirements of the healing art, who measure up to the approved therapeutic standard. The race as yet has produced no other body of men which compares with them in intellectual resourcefulness and professional skill, to cope with so vital and complicated an interest. No greater calamity could be predicted for the Negro than the failure to perpetuate this professional group and to re-enforce its ranks so that it will be enabled to adequately cope with the health needs of the race. There are only two institutions upon which we can rely for the perpetuation of the Negro medical profession—the Meharry Medical School at Nashville, Tennessee, and the Howard University School of Medicine at Washington, D.C. We cannot depend upon white medical schools in the North and West with any assured basis for such dependence. The doors are being closed by degrees upon the colored applicant. Even now, it is difficult almost to the point of impossibility for a Negro student to receive full medical preparation from any white of the respectable members of Democracy went unnoticed by the late Charles Francis Murphy When Murphy died, and later Barron Wilkins, the prop which had stood against progress in so far as the colored Democrat was concerned drooped and chance for a free development in the party beamed brighter. No patronage could come to the community as long as this system remained. The regular district leaders naturally resented the operation in their districts of this political monster—the United Colored Democracy—and they simply and plainly informed the new leader, Mr. Olvany, that this United Colored Democracy must go. It must cease to be the seat of power among Negro Democrats and that they, the district leaders, should be permitted to run their districts without the hindrance of an illegal and un-American organization. This resentment on the part of the district leaders was countered by Mr. Olvany, and he told them he would establish the regular form of district affiliation for all persons in the Democratic party in New York City—black and white alike. This was in 1926. The elections of that year saw for the first time in the history of the party Negro and white citizen workers working together in perfect harmony, without the interference of the Jim Crow organization. Many of the young, intelligent Negro Democrats left the "Jim Crow" organization and wett over to the regular district clubs. Among these were many young attorneys, chief among whom was Thomas B. Dyett, who has recently been appointed an assistant District Attorney. At that time the Mortonites kept up the pretense, under his obvious direction, that all was well with the chief, that he had not lost out; that he was still as strong with the Tammany Hall as he had been previously. When the Democracy. In 1926 saw fit to renew the tenure of the appointment of the head of the Jim Crow organization to another term as Civil Service Commissioner, the faithful to the Jim Crow leader sent up wild crises of joy. They could not see that it was excellent political strategy on the part of Mr. Olvany to permit Morton to retain his position. For Mr. Olvany, as a man of political sense, knew very well that to throw Morton out of his job on the Civil Service Commission would have created, because of the sensitive nature of the Negro Democrats, a resentment which would have proven detrimental to the party.

He is first or finally thrown back upon these two Negro schools or Negro hospitals for part or all of his professional preparation If there is any one responsibility that devolves upon the whole race which is more urgent than any other it is the support of these medical establishments. Upon them reats the health needs of ten million human beings. The appeal is race-wide. There is no ground for division of interest or diversity of opinion. Although these schools appeal powerfully to the whites, from the standpoint of the relativity of health and the vital welfare of the nation, yet to the Negro the appeal is racial and immediate. If no white man contributed a dollar, yet, the Negro should support and sustain these schools on the highest standard of efficiency. Enlightened self-interest demands this. It is easier to focus on medical education than upon any other educational program confronting the race. This is an age of drives. Every worthwhile cause is now presenting its claims to public favor. Educational institutions, religious organizations and social agencies are pressing their demands upon the public pocketbooks. As they are all worthy, we hardly know how to choose among them. But no one of them is essential to the needs of the whole race; for the reason that if any one should fail its competitors would easily fill the need. But in case of medical e "A Monument to Human Energy and Determination" THE saying. "There's nothing new under the sun." no longer holds for me. I have seen Venice. Imagine a city where the sidewalks are stone piers the streets, canals; the street cars, steamboats; the taxis, rowboats or gondolas; the trucks, barges; the horses, men; the only wheeled vehicles, baby carriages; throw in for good measure 378 bridges, and you'll have a rough idea of this strange city. An automobile here would be about as useful as an airship in the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. One way to stop all automobile accidents—have streets of water! I arrived here late at night and at once went to bed. Next morning I was awakened by a peculiar clattering noise. Looking out the window I discovered that it was the footfalls of the Venetians on the stone pliers as they wont to work. The alleyways in some parts of the town, are so narrow that one must turn sideways to let others pass. And the houses are all tall and of stone. Imagine, then, the sound of wooden shoes. I heard one man approaching me with wooden shoes in one of these alley. He was making enough noise for an army! Venice is a monument to human energy and determination. It is proof that faith has indeed the power to remove mountains; it is proof that if a group of human beings but make up its mind to win it it is going to win. For perhaps no other people ever Morton came last week when the vacancy in the District Attorney's office had to be filled. In this case, Thomas B. Dyett was appointed by Mr. Banton, at the suggestion of Mr. Olvany, without so much as consulting with Mr. Morton, it is said. Mr. Hoolihan, the leader in the Twenty-first Assembly District, sent his name to Mr. Olvany and without ceremony he was appointed. Morton's bubble has been pricked. He is reaping the reward for his indulgence and his definite fight against the progress of his people; he is now simply a member of the Democracy. He has no power. One is reminded of the poet Whittier's comment upon the speech by Webster in 1850, when he, like Morton, threw his weight against the freedom of the slaves and for the South, saying: "Ichabod, thy glory hath departed." -:- Beautiful Venice training, there are but two institutions, neither of which is adequate, but both of which are necessary. It is not necessary to differentiate between the relative merits or rival claims. The racewise claims of the one are as compelling as those of the other. Each in its time and turn. But just now the Howard University School of Medicine is in focus. The American Medical Association has fixed certain minimum requirements for a fully accredited Medical School. It must have a productive endowment of at least half a million dollars. The General Education Board several years ago offered a conditional grant of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars toward this endowment, provided the institution would duplicate the amount. The University still needs to raise about one hundred thousand dollars by July first, when the conditional grant will lapse. No right-minded Negro can contemplate such a calamity without shuddering. The amount seems to be ridiculously small when measured against its importance to the whole race. If the Negro could be brought to a realizing sense of what this bare pittance means to the health of the race, the full amount would be forthcoming in a single day, and no one would miss the contribution the day following the donation. In the first place, the appeal is made to the whole race. Every one should feel it an opportunity to come to the rescue in this emergency. Any one who fails to respond, in however slight a A CITY WITHOUT AUTOMOBILES By J. A. ROGERS had so great an obstacle as the Venetians. When Attila, King of the Huns, descended on Italy with his ravaging hordes, some 40,000 souls fled across two and a half miles of sea, into the marshes. Draining them, and without fresh water and building materials, they proceeded to build a city that was later to become not only the greatest sea-power of its day, but the banker of all the which strike the hot mers on a bell. This cathedral was 976 A. D., and while St. Peter in grandeur of beauty all it body of the Apostle to be buried here, brought from Egypt. On the trip across a arose and the ship w be wrecked, but St. then had been dead PETER J. BROWN - J. A. Rogers - European nations. Venetian territory once extended as far East as Constantinople, most of it gained by conquest. Indeed, it acquired about a quarter of the old Roman Empire. Plundering the East of its treasures, and several of the other Italian kingdoms as Genoa, with which it had constant warfare, it brought the wealth to this fair-like region, building palaces that had their equals only in fairyland. And today these palaces built of imperishable stone still stand along the 170 canals, the lustre of their marble, ashen with age, resembling the picture of a great master whose colors are dimmed by time. For the glory of Venice, Queen of the Adriatic, has departed. She is just another of the hundred "has-beens" that line the Mediterranean. Napoleon, in his march through Europe, brushed her with his coat-tail and she was no more. Perhaps it was more than that, for it is said that he was attracted by the prospect of the loot in her famous bank. But all that that conqueror ever got were prospects, for when he entered Giro at he found were pen, ink and waste paper. The chief sights of Venice, after the canals, are St. Mark's Cathedral; the Palace of the Doge (pronounced doj-hay, not dog, as I heard one tourist call it), and St. Mark's Square with its stocks of pigeons, its Campanile, and its clock tower, which has two enormous bronze figures SPECIAL ARTICLES "Entire Race Should Support Howard and Meharry" sum, ought to feel that he is a sinner against the health of the race. In the second place, the appeal is made especially to the six thousand alumni and many more thousands of sometime students who have shared the partial benefit of the University's instruction. If all of these should respond to the extent of ten dollars, the amount would be forthcoming. It is not thinkable that any graduate of Howard in any part of the country will allow this proposition to fail or to succeed without having his name listed among the subscribers. In the third place, the appeal applies particularly to the physicians of the country, regardless of what school they claim as alma mater. The integrity of the Negro medical profession demands that every Negro doctor should support Howard and Meharry. If the white race should cease to maintain them, and even if the Negro in general became apathetic, the physicians themselves should keep from failing, even if it became necessary to tithe their income. in the fourth place, the appeal which strike the hour with hammers on a bell. This cathedral was built in 976 A.D., and while nothing near St. Peter in grandeur, has a richness of beauty all its own. The body of the Apostle Mark is said to be buried here, having been brought from Egypt or Cyprus. On the trip across a great storm arose and the ship was about to be wrecked, but St. Mark, who then had been dead several hundred years, is said to have arisen and directed the pilot how to save the ship, after which he obligingly returned to his coffin. Legends like these abound in Italy, and if the American hotel-keepers ever hope to attract tourists, they'd better see about getting a few miracles. I shall not attempt a description of the Doge's Palace, except to say that the only other palace in Europe that excelled it in magnificence was Versailles, its paintings and murals are among the most famous in Europe, for Venice was not only a great commercial center, but a great artistic one as well, upmbering among its artists Leopardi, Tintoretto, Vittoria and Paul Veronese. In this palace were also the judgment hall and the cells from which to the execution chamber leads the famous bridge of Sighs, so called because those who crossed it never returned alive. The dungeons are still there—gloomy, low, of solid stone, and so dark one imagines they're underground. One man is said to have escaped through a window, Casanova, the famous ladies' man, Carried away with enchantment at the beauty and novelty, I wandered around for hours and was on my way to lunch when I saw something that suddenly jerked me back to the realities of life—a sight that has some what been spoiling my appetite for meat ever since. In a huge barge at the foot of a bridge I saw being unloaded a great bloody mass of lungs, hearts and chitterlings. I looked again. Horses' hoofs, with the shoes still on them, freshly severed. The food of the poor? Who got the choler portions? I asked myself. Well, to make a long story short I ate mutton that day, and have been choosing it since. Horse meat is openly sold here. And at last I have been able to solve the riddle of a steak I ordered in Naples which was as tender and as palatable as a rubber heel, and of a beautiful greenish tint. To lovers of literature, Venice will recall Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice." The Rialto, with its famous bridge, is still here, and now, as in the days of Shylock, a commercial center. Perhaps no other country in Europe had such harsh laws against the Jews as Venice. Brought here, like the American Negro, chiefly as captives, they made such headway that all manner of restrictions were imposed on them. Among those restrictions were things such as is made in especial and in particular to the medical graduates of Howard University. The record shows that this institution has recruited the ranks of the profession to the extent of 2,500 members. If the Medical School should lose its ranks as a Class A college the prestige of every one of these graduates would be discontinued. They that have been benefited ought, therefore, to become enlarged. If these graduates would stop for a moment to consider the inestimable benefit which the University has been to them, they would not suffer their alma mater to cry unto them in vain in the hour of her dire distress. If these graduates should give an average contribution of one hundred dollars the requisite amount would be covered. This is but a bare bagatelle in comparison to the advantage the University has brought to them by way of added earning power. I trust that every one under whose eyes this release may fall, whether alumnus or not, will feel impelled to send in his contribution as a racial obligation. "Perhaps No Other Country Had Such Harsh Anti-Jewish Laws" limited sojourn; inability to own land; to enter the schools; to practise any other profession except medicine, then a despised calling; and to print or publish any book. If caught with a Christian woman, a ruinous fine was placed on the Jew. One can understand why Shylock hated Christians so bitterly and preferred a pound of flesh nearest Antonio's heart to his money, and why he was so angry when his daughter ran off with a Christian. Once the Jews were driven out altogether, but they were the money-lenders and were recalled. Banking was also a deepised calling those days, fit only for Jews. With alternate periods of toleration and persecution, democracy was finally declared when Napoleon threatened the city. Up to this time the Jews were compelled to wear a yellow badge, and later a red cap. The Venetian Christians weren't quite so fortunate in this matter of color as the Southern white. Descending on the Ghetto, the Christians tore it down, rechristened it "The Place of Union" and called the Jews their brothers. But after the danger had passed, it was again the same old story—all of which is peculiarly reminiscent of the history of another certain people. Today of the 200,000 or so Venetians, less than 3,000 are Jews. As to the inhabitants, I understand the greater part of the population of Venice is away at this time of the year, and will not return until June, when the swallows go on their vacation. With all this water it isn't necessary to name this part of the population. Today the chief industries of Venice are the manufacture of glassware, beads, silks, shawls, lace and leather work. The shops are filled with such exquisitely beautiful things that I am going to advise the men folks in coming, well, that they had better come alone, unless their pockets are welded. Of course, in mentioning industries one must not forget the tourist trade and the gondolas. The latter are long thin canoes with prows that remind one of a monkey-wrenched living in one of them at night.

Johnson of Brooklyn, grand esteemed lecturing knight, will again be a candidate for that office this year. New York State will fill the position. J. three grand lodge candidates, J. Duske Steele, candidate for grand valued ruler, and John Duncan, candidate for grand trustee, being the other two. One member of the local convention committee will describe that the occasion will be held in city is Mr. Steele and he also feels certain that he will be the next head of the order, Mr. Steele, one of New York's responsible orders, and his elevation to the position of the order would be a splendid thing for Elkham in general. To date, 15 lodges have endorsed the genial New Yorker's candidacy. Some of the ideas Steele advocates of a highly beneficial nature particularly that of portioning the grand lodge offices geographically and the changing of the grand lodge law, thereby permitting the loaning at interest of lodges worthy members on collateral. Judge Edward henry of Philadelphia, the one third candidate for the grand exalted rulership, when here last week, also expressed confidence that this will be the judge, too, in coming for New York for the convention and holds to the belief, like Steele, that in spite of everything the convention will be held here. In the event of a dendock, it is likely to combine their forces and under the leadership of one or the other, make a concerted effort to dislodge the present holder of the coveted position. Two dark horses that may come in for consideration in the case of Exalted Rulers George McMechan of Baltimore and George E. Wibecan of Brooklyn. The latter had but one term and there are a vast number of Elks who believe that Wibecan should have another term as grand exalted ruler, which has since been proven to have been brought about by "rather unfair methods." LOCAL ELECTION NOTES In the two lodges where it was at first indicated that there would be no opposition for the exalted rulership—Henry Lincoln Johnson and impala rulers—he would be held. In henry Lincoln Johnson A. B. Chrchlow will be forced to put up a fight to retain his laurels. Apparently the opposition has not yet made up its mind on one single candidate,enable Chrchlow to survive the fight. Thomas H. Brown, veteran exalted ruler of Imperial Lodge, whose work as head of Imperial No. 127 was such as to make that lodge secure the status of any lodge in the country, seems to be in for a suff fight in order to retain his leadership of Imperial. He will be opposed by J. A. Steele, the plumber. Steele, slightly expected to lose business man, may become a local business campain and becomes stronger as the time nears for election in June. He is remembered by Imperial members as the man who signed a peace for $3,000 in the fund of the old and the dold. To make it possible for Imperial's present prosperity. Andrew T. Mitchell, exalted ruler of Manhattan Lodge, is also facing a fight for re-election. One candidate for head of Manhattan is Irving Harper, an old member and one of the lodge's trustees. Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, a exalted ruler of Monarch Lodge, will likely chair the Hoboken chairman of the Building Fund, in the latter can be induced to enter the field. Over in Brooklyn, Joseph M. Washington, for 18 months leading width of Brooklyn Lodge, will counsel Thomas L. Higginz, who will attempt to be elected, for the third time, exalted ruler of New York State's oldest lodge. Washington men and he said to have lined up with him all the opposing factions that have been steadily against Higginz. The counsellor, however, feels very confident that after the book of battle has shown its strength, Monday, June 6, he will be exalted ruler of Brooklyn Lodge, and by a safe majority. MANHATTAN LODGE. Joseph P. Gary, special deputy and one of Manhattan's best known members, has been appointed to the board as a mark of appreciation on the part of the members for the faithful work heretofore performed by him.

Pride in our own city and its citizens, pride in our local Elks' lodges, and the pride we would take in seeing a New Yorker hold the highest office at the disposal of the order, would dictate such a course. On the other hand, we would not hesitate to support, in our way — considering that we have no official connection whatever wiih the order — J. Finley Wilson, or any other aspirant for the oifice, we deemed capable and worthy, and who had the support of New York Elks. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS. believes that in making public the sinister things it unearthed, in its capacity as a gath- erer and purveyor of news, it is rendering the Elks themselves and the pubiic at large a service. We have no. apologies. whatever, to make for nae) suing such a course. The Elks’ Convention THE AMSTERDAM NEWS has n apologies to make for the news stor: published in its issue ior April 13, t the effect that New York City may fos the Elks’ convention, because of an in iunction secured by a white Elks’ lody under the provisions of the Grattai Jaw. We have no apologies to make fo: publishing subsequent news stories te the effect that Elks here are in a quan dary as to where the convention wil be held here, and that a split of the or: der portends if it is not held here. We have no apologies to make for the story published in today’s issue of the paper of the latest developments in the situa: tion. Each of these news stories has been based upon information The Amsterdam News had reason to believe. and still believes, to be true. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS is not op: posed to having the Elks’ convention brought here in August, as a local news- paper tried to insinuate in its cditorial columns on April 30. On the contrary, The Amsterdam News would be glad to see New York City entertain an Liks’ convention. Nevertheless, several months ago information reached us to the effect that there was a definite move on foot to prevent the convention from heing held here. This, tuo, has been practically verified by events which have taken place since that time. THE AMSTERDAM NEWS and all of the New York lodges had every reason to believe that the convention could he held here without any interference on the part either of the State of New York or the white Elks. The Grattan law and the injunction secured as a result of it prohibited even the use of the word| “Elk” or the wearing of the Elks’ em biem; but, in spite of both the law and) the injunction, white and Negro Eths of the State have lived and worked side wy side for many years, without the least! conflict. Why, then, were the provisions of the Grattan Jaw dragged forth at this particular time by the Negro Elks? Why should not the white Elks have been permitted to make the complaint, if they had one, that the law was being niringed? Why was there an attempt 0 throw an air of secrecy around the Iks’ legal committee, which went to \lbany to invite the Attorney General ‘0 give an opinion on the Grattan Jaw? || Was this action necessary? Why did|' he Grand Exalted Ruler attempt to]: rand’ The Amsterdam News story as|| ‘premature and inaccurate” when he]: nust have known every word of it to|! etrue? —. 4 THE AMSTERDAM NEWS is not op:| posed to the, re-election of J.

His di- vorce suit is still pesdiag, but no one cares about its ultimate outcome. It is his and Mrs. Malone's personal af- fair. and will not be much unlike other divorce cases, NEGROES everywhere, though, were concerned about the future of Poro Col- lege. From humble beginnings they had seen it grow, as a result of the patronage they gaye it, to a million dol= lar institution.
