It was this woman that the girl went when she ran away through the police assert. The girl had been living at her father's apartment, and her motive in running away was to escape being sent to a convict in Jamaica for six years, for which complete arrangements had been made. Dawson said. Detectives apprehended her the day following her disappearance, and she was remanded to the custody of the Children's Society. John R.

At Franklin Simons, 414 Fifth Avenue, she was accorded the courtesy of "personal shopping." Nothing less than $10 and $15 shoes from James S. Coward, 270 Greenwich street, would satisfy her Franklin Simon hats at $16 and hats at $13.75 from Bost & Co. Fifth avenue and Thirty-fifth street, were familiar items. Dresses at $45 upward hung unwashed in her expensive wardrobe trunks, in fact, her wardrobe was very elaborate. The Dawson apartment is furnished with the splendor of a suit's chambers. There are tiger leopard and bear skin rugs, Persian, Chinese and Oriental rugs stitched in profusion across the polished hardwood floors. In the center of the living room and the larger bedroom there stands an electric water fountain that sprays colorful lights. Woven tapestries adorn the walls and, everywhere, soft colored lights. In the reception room there stands a $2,500 electric organ with almost every conceivable combination of musical effects. Control buttons are placed in every room, including the kitchen, so that music may be had at will without causing the room to soak in. In an opposite corner there is a large room is a $2,300 electric Weltec reproducing piano. There is also a small library of Franklin books. The girls private bedroom had stairs, and a costly desk outfit close by. French dolls lodge everywhere with a sophist- ched air, and in the corner may be observed an overnight bag of the clothes. 100 West 139th street, retired W.I., was freed of a serious injury by his 15-year-old daughter.

WEALTHY OKLAHOMA INDIAN TELLS TALE OF HIS ESCAPADES Ran Through $400,000 Since 1919 — Married Bigamist — Secures Annulment — Here to Make Good Like a page from a story book reads the reported escap- aries of W. Dewey Wilkerson, seion of a wealthy ful- libooled Indian millionaire of the famous Osage tribe at Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Wilkerson, who is 28 and lives at 707 St. Nicholas avenue, is said to have run through a fortune of $400,000 since 1019. It was a legacy from his mother, Margaret Wilkerson, who died in 1915. This great sum of money was squandered on pleasure trips to Honolulu, China and other places, together with a constant round of night life in the big cities in America At a party in the Majestic Hotel in Cleveland Wilkerson met Helen Parker, 19, and married her a few days later, on Oct. 27, 1926. The honeymoon trip took in Detroit, St. Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Mo., then to Pawhuska, where the father's ice was raised at what he formed his son's folly. It proved to be the end of the father's patience, for he had tried earnestly to make something of the youngster besides a nightcliff and a spendthrift. "About this time the girl confessed that she had been married, had left her husband, but had failed to obtain a divorce. According to Wilkerson, she was the wife of Clifford Holcombe, a garage man of Cleveland. The couple dashed to Dallas, Texas, to divorce Holcombe, but were unsuccessful. Their marriage was then annulled Feb. 18. In disgust, Wilkerson's father cut off his allowance several weeks ago. Although the lad has never worked, he plans to get right down to business. He anticipates opening a dancing school, and says he will endeavor to regain his dad's confidence by "making a man of myself." It is to be hoped that the waster of nearly a half million means what he says. Max Willer, 4S, 254 West 142d street, was found dead in bed S aturday noon by her sister. Dr. Will ham Johnson, 24 West 132d street, was found dead. It is said that death came from natural causes.

HEAD STILL MISSING BUT IDENTIFICATION IS MADE BY BROTHER LOUISVILLE, Miss., June 13.—Jim and Mark Fox, brothers, accused of having slain Clarence Nichols, white, a sawmill superintendent, were seized by a mob early this morning, paraded through the streets of Louisville and then taken a short distance from town, where they were tied to a telephone post, saturated with gasoline and burned to death. W. S. Permenter, deputy sheriff, and two other officers were taking the men to Jackson supposedly for safe keeping. They were overtaken, they claim, near Noxapater by a mob of 1,000 men, which blocked the highway and demanded the prisoners. The officers at first refused to surrender them and fired several shots into the air, but the mob was insistent. The men's terrified screams apparently touched one member of the mob, who was said to have attempted to extinguish the blaze, but was seized by others and forced back. Neither victim made any statement. Because of the darkness the officers were unable to recognize any members of the band. Nichols was shot to death Sunday after an altercation with the brothers over some work at the mill. Only Negro Bookkeeper Ever Employed by Chelsea Bank Resigns Only Negro Bookkeeper Ever Employed by Chelsea Bank Resigns Edward B. Ward Says Subtle Prejudice Made It Impossible for Him to Succeed—Goes Back to Edward B. Ward, 40, 205 West 145th street, on June 7 resigned his position as the only Negro on the bookkeeping staff of the Chelsea Exchange Bank, 135th street and Seventh avenue. A few days later Mr. Ward was reinstated at the Public National Bank, 116th street and Madison avenue, where he had given faultless service for nine years and where he rose to the position of head bookkeeper. Such a position, it is believed, has never been held in the United States by a Negro at any time. In resigning, Mr. Ward stated that his reason was his inability to adjust himself to the operation of the bookkeeping system at the Chelsea. Although he was given every co-operation by their staff, it was very plain that it was given reluctantly, he said. The subtle prejudice of his white associates, Mr. Ward declared, froze his enthusiasm and made success impossible. Chelsea Bank officials denied this, however. About six weeks ago Mr. Ward received appointment at Chelsea at the instance of Edward S. Rothschild, president, who asked Charles G. Rapp to make an opening for Mr. Ward. There was no vacancy at the time, but he was appointed, however. Attorney Pope B. Billups was directly responsible for Mr. Ward's appointment at Public National nine years ago, and his services terminated when bookkeeping machines replaced most of the staff in that department. Joseph J. Bach, first vice-president of Public National, learned of Mr. Ward's absence upon his recent return from a vacation. At (Continued on Page 2.) [Picture of a man in a suit]. Magistrate's Son Appeared as Attorney Saturday —Case Was Adjourned for Further Hearing Today "Black Herman," 30. Harlem medicine man, with offices at 119 West 130th street, will be tried today in Heights Court, charged with fortune telling and practicing medicine without a license. "Black Herman," whose right name is Herman Rucker, was arrested Saturday on complaint of Policewoman Nettie Sweatman of the Eighteenth Division and held in $1,000 bail when arraigned before Magistrate Weil Saturday. Magistrate Weil was obliged to adjourn the case because his son appeared as attorney for Rucker. The lengthy complaint is a veritable document of superstition. It purports to disclose "Black Hermann's" method of regaining a husband's lost love to a lonely wife. Policewoman Sweatman visited the "doctor's" offices several times, and the following are the instructions she was given to bring back the estranged husband: Take the scrapings from the soles of the feet, and, with other ingredients, place in the husband's food; sprinkle in the four corners of her room and on the bed a strange liquid from strange bottles; lay certain roots against the husband's body. "John the Conqueror" is said to be the name of the strange root given her for magic purposes. "You have a pain in the side. You have appendicitis." Rucker is said to have told her upon the occasion of a visit. She was handed a bottle of "Black Hermann's Body Tonic" for $1.25 and told to "rub with it." she claims. Upon another occasion, she reports that Rucker said to her, "I see you need a job and you will get one." Policewoman Sweatman reports that on May 15 fifteen women and one man were waiting upon the lord of the powers of darkness, and that he soon appeared, immaculately clad in formal morning dress of Prince Albert coat and striped trousers. "Black Herman's" office is adorned with phantastic pictures of devils, nude women, and a life-sized photograph of himself, it is said. 22 PAGES FIVE CENTS PER COPY EVERYWHERE Complete in 3 Sections MAN BORDER ING TION OTHER Law Wife Arrested in Jersey City Detectives Few Hours After Tragedy describe as one of the most gruesome exceeding in brutality that of the fau- was brought to light Sunday morning John Henry, 20, was found hacked to bed room on the third floor of 85 West Fifth avenue, at 9:15 o'clock.

OKEH PHONOGRAPH CORPORATION 15 West 18th Street. New York City --- --- On December 15. 1925. Webber entered a wine store at 314 West 145th street, where he saw one John Shubert and another man, both white, posing as revenue agents. Webber was in plainclothes and his attention was first attracted by the men arguing with the store-keeper. He proceeded to investigate, but all three men resented his intrusion. He grabbed the two impressor sonators, but one of them escaped. Shubert was arrested and indicted by a Federal Grand Jury. He served a year and a day in Atlanta Prison. Police records disclosed that Shubert had a record of fourteen previous convictions, and that his reputation as a notorious criminal was country wide. The arrest of Cappola was tended by all the thrill of a movie melodrama. As he was passing the Nest Club at 5:30 a.m. the sound of shots and the cries of Bryson drew Webber's attention. He rushed down into the club and found Bryson lying on the floor. With drawn revolver, Webber ordered no one to leave the place. Cappola was pointed out as the assailant. The gangster submitted to arrest after a hard scuffle. He was searched, but no weapon was found on his person. Cappola was turned over to Patroiman Martin Rhodes, who took him to the station house. It was then revealed that Capola had a partner, Dorothy Lavelle, 25, white, actress and entertainer, 23 West Fifthth street. As he questioned the woman, Webber observed an object bulging at her waist. As he reached for it, the actress fought back. He tripped her and threw her to the floor. "She was a good fighter." Webber said. For fully five minutes he resisted with the actress on the floor, he said, and finally torched the 20 calorie revolver from her waist. 8466—South Bound Water Singing with Guitars Back Water Blues Guitar and Piano LONNIE JOHNSON 8468—Behold!

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1927 Paris Knew This Remarkable BEAUTY BATH SECRET for Years SENSATIONAL in IMMEDIATE RESULTS Startling in Economy Like Stepping Into Rich Cream, This Beauty Bath Gives You a Skin as Smooth as Rare Gothic Velvet Merely ask your grocer for a package of LINIT and follow the above suggestions. At last here is a beauty bath that gives immediate results—as soon as you step out of the tub—a beauty bath that instantly gives a glorious "feel" to your body—a velvety feeling like the down on a pansy petal. Merely take two or more handfuls of Linit (the remarkable starch discovery—sold by all grocers) and swish into a half tubful of warm water. Linit dissolves immediately then step into the tub and enjoy the soothing sensation of a rich, cream-like bath. Bathe and wash with your favorite soap as usual, then step out and dry off. Presto! Feel your skin. It is like rare velvet—and therein lies the secret of a Linit Bath. Why Linit Is Absolutely Harmless While Linit is a scientific starch discovery, it is a pure vegetable product—starch from Corn. As any dermatologist or doctor can tell you, there is nothing better (or more harmless) for the skin than starch from Corn. In fact, doctors generally recom- mend it for the tender skin of young babies. The velvet-like "feel" of your skin after a Linit bath is due to a fine, gritless coating of Linit left on the skin—soft, tiny particles round and smooth which eliminate the necessity of using talcum after the bath. In contrast to talcum, there are no sharp edges, as the microscope discloses, to these tiny particles of Linit. After your Linit Bath, pow- VERY IMPORTANT TO YOU The fact that LINIT is sold by all grocers as a high class laundry starch and is also recommended 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 LIMIT bath will give the results as stated above. LIMIT is so economical that at least you should give it a trial. Let the results speak for themselves. k your grocer for a p follow the above sug dering is unnecessary as Linit leaves just the right amount of powder on the skin, evenly spread, without excess. All women know that it is a habit to put on too much powder after a bath—too much in spots and the pores often become clogged and their proper functioning hindered. After your Linit Bath, your skin has a coating inconceivably thin, yet sufficient to give all the smoothness that the finest powder can give. What a Linit Bath Does for Your Skin You will find that Linit adheres well, absorbs perspiration without caking, eliminates oil shine on body, hands and face, prevents chafing and affords protection to hands and face against wind and sun. Whether your skin is the dry or oily type, a Linit Bath is equally effective. Linit is so easy to use—when put in water it dissolves instantly—that's all there is to it—bathing as usual, does the rest. Linit is a pure vegetable product—its natural color is white and it is not disguised by added color or odor. --- COP'S STRAY BULLET HITS WOMAN olicemen Were in Act of Nabbing Man Thought to Be Fugitive telephone.

Promptly at 2 p.m. the five lodges, consisting of Manhattan, Monarch, Imperial, Henry Lincoln Johnson and Brooklyn Lodge, moved from 19th street and Edgecombe avenue up the avenue to 19th street. With them were Manhattan, Invincible and Eureka Temples and there were 2000 men and women in line, all members of the Improved, Benvolent, Protective Order Elks of the World. Leading the procession was a platoon of police reserves led by Capt. White of the Thirty-eighth first speaker. J. Daimus Siecle, precinct. Officer Edward Seaman one of the best known members was also detailed with the reserves of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. in the serves. Following the police came the country and a candidate for the executive committee of the grand exalted rulership. Steele said that the purpose of the meeting was to tell the people of New York what is expected of them during convention week, and to ask for their help. After Manhattan came Monarch Lodge with its famous band, led by Jeut. Simpson. As usual, this band was the hit of the parade and Lieut. Simpson's men had an admi- rning following throughout the entire line of march, which was from 136th street up Edgecombe avenue, to 145th street, to Seventh avenue, to 125th street, to Lenox avenue to the 269th Regiment Armory in 143d street. Imperial Lodge came next and its band also made a hit. At the head of Imperial Lodge marchee Exalted Ruler Thomas H. Brown Imperial's secretary, Charles M. Hanson, and Past Exalted Ruler Frank Shipley. Then came Mantan's baby lodge with its band—Henry Lincoln Johnson—led by its Exalted Ruler, A. B. Carichlow. Brooklyn Lodge No. 23.

Carter, grand treasurer, and J. A. Jones, secretary of Williams Lodge No. 11, both of Richmond, Va. were also in the line of march. They were here as the guests of the New York convention committee. Along the entire line were cheering crowds and any doubt that the Elks are not popular in this city certainly would have been dissolved Sunday afternoon. BIG CROWD AT ARMORY. A big crowd greeted the marchers when they reached the 280th Regiment Armory. After the members had been seated, Monserrat Band gave a brief concert. Manhattan and Imperial bands also played a few selections, after which Dr. Hudson Oliver, who was master of ceremonies, introduced Theater goers all over the country admire the beautiful hair of Miss Katheryne A. Boyd of the J. Lawrence Criner Company. Miss Boyd says: "I often wondered how other women kept their hair looking so smooth and glossy until I started using Improved Pluko Hair Dressing. Then I knew the secret. This delicately fragranced, fine textured preparation is easy to use, keeps my scalp healthy, and makes my hair soft, straight, silky and glossy." If everybody knew— How easy it is to make their hair long, straight and glossy using Improved Pluko Hair Dressing, everyone would have beautiful hair that is easy to arrange in any manner and stays that way looking smooth and glossy; because this soft, daintily perfumed preparation is so economically priced everyone can afford to use it.

E. of W. in the country and a candidate for the grand exalted rulership. Steele said that the purpose of the meeting was to tell the people of New York what is expected of them during convention week, and to ask for their hearty support. He also said that the time had come when the members of the order in Mauhattan could hope for an early consummation of dream of many carnest New York Elks, that is, one big lodge and one big temple on Manhattan Island. Touching on the convention, Steele said that every Elit "with 15 cents" worth of brain" would be in New York for the twenty-eighth grand lodge session this August. Post Grand Exalted Ruler Harry Pace, who spoke next, said that there was nothing to prevent the convention coming to New York, even though the Grattan Law did exist and the injunction also, both of which came to pass, said Pace, during his term as head of the order. Both are dead letter laws, he said. Others who spoke, all touching favorably on the holding of a convention in this city, were: Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age, the Rev. R. N. Bolden, Mrs. Ethel Prasier, chairman of the Temple Grand Lodge Convention Committee, and others, Benjamin N. Curley of Monarch Lodge delivered the invocation.

Call Today or Tonight at Our Nearest Address Brother's Plea Saves Sister Brother's Plea Saves Sister Explains to Court That Illness Accounted for Her Conduct Only the tearful pleading of her brother saved Vivian Ferguson, 23, 2189 Eighth avenue, from a possible indictment by the Grand Jury on a charge of grand larceny, when she was arraigned in Heights Court, recently, before Magistrate Vitale. Sace Maxy, popular chorus girl, 133 West 137th street, from whom Mrs. Ferguson is alleged to have stolen a quantity of clothing valued at $62.50, endeavored to withdraw the charge. Te magistrate would not permit the withdrawal because the woman had only recently been discharged by him on a similar charge. How ever, after the brother pleaded so intensely for her release on account of her being ill and having the care of a four-year-old baby child, as well as for the sake of her mother, Magistrate Vitale proceeded to hear the case instead of holding her for the Grand Jury. Mrs. Maxy stated that although the woman was found wearing a piece of her clothing, there had been no actual witness to the theft, Magistrate Vitale then discharged the woman. On the morning of April 1 Mrs. Ferguson visited the chorus girl's home, and while there took $15 from Mrs. Maxy's purse, it was testified. She also carried away in a suitcase a suit and several undergarments belonging to Mrs. Maxy, it is alleged, but the clothes were not missed until that evening. While passing 2315 Seventh avenue Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Maxy said she saw Mrs. Ferguson wearing beneath her dress a pink combination belonging to her. Policeman Henry A. Judan, of Traffic C, was called and the woman arrested. Between 17th and 18th Sts. 1 Flight Up FIVE Kelly Miller's Son Soon to Be an M. D.

Her freedom now leaves no hope to the successful carrying out of the great plans for Poro College she said. Mrs. Malone was asked if her re-emotional intellects affected business progress of Poro College. "It had very little effect," replied. "Our business was based on as usual." "The history of Poro College was only given in a class paper read at Annabel Tyrese Alken. A process of flowers, presented to Mrs. Malone her associates and the societies, made the occasion so beautiful.

Chinese Secretary Speaks at Dinner --- T. Z. Koo, executive secretary of the Chinese Y. M. C. A., addressing a representative group at a private dinner at the West 137th street branch, Y. W. C. A., discussed the feasibility of appointing a Negro Y. M. C. A. secretary to the staff of the Chinese Y. M. C. A. Those present agreed to be an unofficial and unorganized committee to keep the idea alive. Mr. Koo said he would return to America probably within the next two years, during which time he hoped that the plan will have assumed definite shape. Because of the Negro's simple faith and trust in God, and because the quality of the religion of the Negro so closely approaches the Chinese ideal, Mr. Koo said the Chinese are very anxious to have us represented in China, for the express purpose of bringing the two races together in a firm and mutual bond of understanding. "There is no telling what may result from this contact within the next twenty years," he said. "It may take a long time to find the right man, but that is expected. It took us six years to get a British secretary, but we got him." In the event of the success of the plan, the Negro secretary, Mr. Koo emphasized, would be on equality with the other secretaries American, Norwegian, British, etc. "The American committee cannot direct the policy of the Chinese Y. M. C. A." he added. This was the last group Mr. Koo addressed before leaving New York for the West and China. Special significance was attached to the meeting, because Mr. Koo elected to meet our group personally, instead of leaving the matter in the hands of the Y. M. C. A. foreign committee. Those in attendance at the dinner were: The Rev. and Mrs. Shelton Hale Bishop, William C. Anderson, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. William T. Andrews, Mrs. Sadie Stockton, Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Fallings, S. E. Grain, Miss Catherine C. Haas, Wilson M. Hume, white of, India Mrs. Louise H. Johnson, Mrs. Sol Johnson, Dr. Clifton A. Norman, Mrs. Cecilia C. Saunders and Dr. Alonzo Smith.

A SOUTHERN INCIDENT "I think scouting is a good means of engendering race chivalry," wrote a correspondent to "Boys Life" the scouts magazine, and related the following incident: "After the hurricane on the East coast last fall, hundreds of refugees were burst into Jacksonville, Fla. The scouts were pressed into service. "Getting off one of the trains was a Negro woman with three small children and a quantity of baggage. A scout picked up one of the children who was too small to walk. A man standing nearby said. "Look at the scout carrying a Negro child." The scout never pansed, but went on, saying, "A scout is loyal and does his duty." FLAG DAY. Yesterday we celebrated the 150th anniversary of the adoption of the flag of the United States.

Zion Church, which was held at the Rush Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, of which the Rev. Dr. G. Melville Oliver is pastor, June 7 to 12, brought together the leading churchmen of the connection. Bishop J. W. Martin of California presided at the conference. Bishop J. C. Caldwell of Philadelphia, in whose diocese the conference is located, was detained at his home on account of the illness of his son, who died while the conference was in session. The conference, before it adjourned, scored lynching and peonage in the South, urged a more rigid enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and deplored the treatment of Negroes in the flood area. The conference endorsed Prohibition and advocated a broader education and training for the ministry. The Rev. S. M. Dudley, one of the general officers of the church, was endorsed for United States Minister to Liberia, and the work of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters was highly commended and approved. An address of welcome on behalf of the Rush Church was made by Mrs. Mary Brundage. The response to the address of welcome was made by the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of the Mother Zion A. M. E. Church. An address on education was made by Prof W. J. Trent, president of Livingstone College, at Salisbury, N. C. Dr. J. B. Mason, financial secretary of Livingstone College, spoke in the interest of the endowment drive. No. important changes were made of pastors in the conference. New England Session Stormy HARTFORD, Conn., June 13. Discordance was prevalent at the closing session of the seventy-ninth A. M. E. Church here. Pandemonium reigned when Robert Miller, lay delegate and trustee of St. Paul's Church of Cambridge, Mass., in open session, accused the bishop of bad faith in refusing to return the Rev. E. K. Nichols to the Cambridge church, as promised. So determined was Mr. Miller that he wired members of St. Paul's Church to lock the doors of the church against the Rev. M. C. McCoy, formerly of Lynn, Mass., an appointee of Bishop William H. Heard to fill the Cambridge charge. Threats were made by other members to carry the bishop before the council, charging him with yielding to the dictates of the Rev J. Stanley Jacobs, former presiding elder of the Boston district. The Rev. Mr. Jacobs was sent to the Metropolitan Church of Harlem, after being transferred to the New York conference. After a protest meeting of St. Paul members, Monday evening, the bishop allowed the Rev. Nichols to remain at Cambridge. Five hundred ministers, lay delegates and visitors attended the conference held in Bethel Church, of which the Rev. M. F. Sydes is pastor. Seven thousand dollars was raised for church and educational funds. A contribution was made to flood sufferers. Y. W. C. A.

Sara. Washington The quieston of shampooing the hair is one that has almost as many answers as there are hair specialists. Some argue that the hair accumulates as much dust and dirt, or more, than your face, and because of this it should be shampooed twice every week or even more frequently. Others go to the other extreme and advocate washing very rarely, saying that too frequent washing dries the oil out, makes the hair brittle and affects the color. However, there happens to be a happy medium for the normal hair, and every two weeks appears to be enough to keep the hair in good condition. Anyhow, the majority of persons who use the irons on their hair find that it is usually necessarily to have a treatment every two weeks. Of course, it is true that very dry hair keeps clean for a long period of time, that is, if the hair is well brushed and scalp cleaned between washings with a dry shampoo. In summer, excessive perspiration makes more frequent shampooing important. It will be found that sun baths counteract the rancid odor from perspiration and should be indulged in much more frequently than they are. The sun and air impart richness, color and life to the hair. It actually improves the texture of the hair. Do not let the sun strike your hair for too long a period at a time, as the bleaching is very bad for it. Give your hair a good sunning at frequent intervals in moderate sunlight. While at the beach remove your rubber cap and let the sun penetrate every part of the hair. Go without head covering while in the park, promenading, boating and motoring. One of the most important processes of the shampoo is thorough rinsing. Always be sure that every particle of soap has been rinsed out before drying. It is better to have the hair shampooed where a spray is used and insist on a thorough rinsing with the last water being cold. This cold rinse stimulates circulation so that the danger of catching cold is slight.

EDWARDS NEAR WORLD RECORD Slow Track Prevents Flyer From Hanging Up New Mark Phil Edwards, metropolitan 1,000-yard record holder, made the fastest time for the distance that has been turned in in many a moon at Ulmer Park on Sunday when he won the feature of the Norwegian Turners' meet in 2:15. The track, which was slow, ended whatever chances Edwards had of equaling the world record of 2:12 1-5. Edwards won with ease over John Cole, of the Greenwood Club, who had a handicap of 0:48, and finished second. Pinkie Sober, national junior half-mile champion, won the quarter-mile event. Ted Rose, metropolitan 600-yard champion, was second. Sober, now representing the Holy Name Club, covered the distance in 0:51 3-5. Mike Merado, of the Brooklyn Harriers' Club, finished third. Harry Hinkle, N. T. A. C. captured the two-mile walk after being pressed hard by Art Razinak, of Jersey City, who finished second. Johnny Bell, of St. Bonaventure's college, scored a great triumph in the three-mile run. It was Bell's first start in six months. Reischmann and McClain, unable to race in the quarter, wanted to get a work-out anyway. So they made up a New York A. C. four consisting of themselves, Rose and Ed Swenson, and their post-entry was accepted by Referee Tim Sallivan, although Handicapper George P. Matthews put them ten yards behind scratch. They never had a chance. The Holy Name team was the next back-mark quarter, with an allowance of 28 yards. Victory by ten yards went to the Bloomfield Lyceum team, consisting of Charles Kelly, Charles Callahan, Harold Freeman and Edwin Roll, the Colgate runner, which had a too generous allowance of 52 yards. The Bloomfield four, off 52 yards, was clocked in the time of 3:22 4-5. Summary of Scandinavian-American A.

THE BRONCOS AGAIN DIVIDE Springiield Nine Came Back Strong in Second Tilt to Win After losing the first game of a twin bill with Santop's Broncos at Recreation Park, Long Island City, on Sunday by a score of 7 to 6, the Springfield nine came back to win the second game by a score of 11 to 4. Santop's nine won the opening contest with a three-run rally in the ninth. At the time the Springles were leading by a score of 5 to 4. Springfield scored one run in its end of the last frame. The Broncos went into a three-run lead in the second tilt, but Springfield evened the count in the fourth with a three-run cluster. It took the lead in the fifth with a brace of tallies, scored two more in the sixth and four in the seventh. The game was called after the first half of eighth to allow the Broncos to catch a train to Philadelphia. Dutch Woerner and Rabbit Jacobson acted as heavy artillery for Springfield in the second game. Woerner accounted for a triple and a double, while Rabbit hit a homer and two singles.

CUBANS TAKE 2 ATTEMPT ON TO FROM LINCOLNS GET GROUNDS Displaying the best brand of pitching seen at Protectory Oval all season, the Cuban Stars won both ends of a double header against the Lincoln Giants Sunday afternoon, June 12, and moved into second place in the Eastern League pennant race. With Oscar and Sans pitching the first game, the visitors were victorious by a score of 8-5, and in the other contest Alvarez, who was with the Jacksonville team of the Southern League last season, shut the Lincolns out with a score of 8-0. The Lincolnens made only six hits in each game. When Oscar weakened in the fourth inning of the first contest and allowed three hits, Manager Pompez promptly sent Sans to relieve him the next inning. And Sans not only stopped the scoring but allowed only one more hit during the remainder of the game. In the sixth inning the Lincolnens lost their only chance to score during the second game. Manager Lloyd, the first batter up, singled and Johnson got on base through an error by Dihigo. When Mason came up to bat he hit a grounder to Alfonso, who promptly put him out at first, and then threw to third base, trapping Lloyd between the third and home plate. He went out and before Johnson could get back to second he was also put out. Gistentainer was responsible for four of the Lincoln's five runs in the first game when he hit a home run with the bases filled. Mason also hit a homer in the first game. And in the last inning of the closing contest Dihigo and Oms made homers. The Lincoln's have another Cuban player in their lineup. He is Garcia, who was formerly with the Bacharach Giants. He played third base against the Cuban Stars, but as this was his first game so (Continued on Page 17) NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1927 Tennis Association President Leads in Commendable Effort BY ARTHUR E. FRANCIS. What is beyond a reasonable doubt the biggest step in tennis since its inception in the Empire State was planned and partly consummated at a mass meeting of tennis payers and fans on Wednesday evening, June 1. Dr. T. E. Hanson, president of the New York Tennis Association, is the leading spirit in this bold movement that plans to build a foundation for Negro tennis in New York that will be far reaching in its effect upon the game, not only locally, but nationally as well, and one which we feel must ultimately bring some measure of co-operation and recognition from the United States Lawn Tennis Association, the parent body of white players in the United States. The meeting was called to get the personal sentiment of the tennis fraternity as regards two situations - confronting New York tennis relative to courts, one to purchase grounds for permanent courts, necessitating a project out of the immediate community through the prohibitive cost of land in Harlem, the other a temporary continuation of leaseholds, with its uncertainty and aggravating cancellations, through purchase of the property for other purposes after a great deal of money has been spent by the tennis body in its development for their uses. The former cause were ably sponsored by President Hanson, Gerald Norman, former president of the N. Y. Tennis Ass'n, along with Philip Levy, Mrs. Lottie Wade, former N. Y. State woman's champion, and others, while the latter course was just as ably presented by Dr. E. E. Rawlins and a few others. This latter cause, however, was not in opposition to the purchase plan, but as an intermediary, enabling tennis players to (Continued on Page 17.) "Those Days Are Gone Forever"— BUT W.

It was my impulse highway there is a sigh for the dear remembered years, how a decade and more dead—a sign and taunting of throat muscles which in kid days were the forerunners of tears "The past rises before me like a dream" and once again I see the brave lads and the braver girls of the long ever ago. Once more I walk into "The Association," Jesse's old shop, where anybody you knew was bound to come sooner or later. Later, twain shall meet, the post sank, but did, they soft, clever boys of the East. There hardwoods and Halls fraternized with your Attikens and Coopers. There timid, gentle Francis X. Forbes used to study the catechism with our little Jimmie Dorsey while Andrew Bishop and Henry Wilson read evening papers. I see them all, a spectral big parade of the celebrities of an other day Harlem—Irwin Howe, Roy Morse, the Hooper boy, the Rabes of the Amman, William Anthony himself, Henry Berry, and John and Brother, Percy, Robert, Robert, Percy, Percy, and Hank Williams, Fish and Turner, and Johnson, Hugging and Harding, C.

With her, I were kind friend, and these things and these people now, over. R.O.L.O. H. my dear Rollo, you certainly make it hard for us to reply to your communication, for you first touched that tender spot for the past that always remain, and with you I am not ashamed to sit in the glowing and steadily ruminate on the glorious of the past. "Association" is a little higher than that, but it does not give old little. "Jesse," although others tried to keep it going, not realizing the personal qualities of the departed that kept the old hangout to the fore. A. ATKINS is an officer in the National Guard and working hard to keep his outfit to the front. Walter Cooper drove what the boys designated as 'The Covered Wagon' and became disinterested with Seventh avenue when the boys good-natured in the street ancient Baden ha his way to France. Strange to see him there when he refers to France. He is still around, and with a number of other white boys he is still in line-back up and out of the state. HENRY WILSON on an off night ran the famous Moonlight Ship on a coral reef and the old tub went to pieces, a wreck that will never be resurrected, while Andrew Bishop is still out West essaying the dream. Drwin Howe is now a police officer in Boston and Chauney Hopner not so very long ago passed successfully the bar examination. Roy Morse is now circulating with a good-natured still left in the old frame. Charlie Bradford is still under the shadow of the St. Christopher, as he is superintendent of the St. Philip Church buildings here, and Will Anthony Madden remains in the confines of Greenwich Village, and, shoo-n-n', dear Rollo—they tell me, he he has joined the intellectuals.

Sine Godbe is still here, so are the Cipers boys, Dash, Brava and a number of the old crew.

But cry, you old walrus, and may the ghost of Thera's Hall smile when I say that where Matheny's hold forth is but a place where YOU EAT. Yes, yes, Rollo, speak not of those real places of comfort known a Golden ban. The Libya, Haynes and such. Nothing like them here today, and I am sure they will be there. I will be there on in the few dums passing for cabarets.

With more than half of the first stretch of the Eastern Colored League now past, Ben Taylor's Baltimore Black Sox are literally playing their "heads off" and staying out in front by a two game margin over the fast traveling Bacharach Giants. The fact that the Baltimore team was not taken seriously by the dopsters and coupled with the somewhat indifferent start that was made by the Sox Ben Taylor's outfit is now being hailed as the wonder team of the season. From the list of men that started the 1926 season on the Sox roster, Taylor has clipped a quartet of star ball players and with "Heavy" Johnson, Julius Rojo, "Eggie" Dallard and Johnny Beck.

In the first place, the mere announcement that Bill (Bojangles) Robinson and Clarence Dotson will be in full charge of the stage on Monday night at the Alhambra carousel a guarantee that the night will be one of the biggest where affairs of this kind are concerned. Then, too, popular George Caldwell of the Keith Albe Circuit of theatres will be on the job to again throw his share towards the support of his worthy benefit. The bill is being presented under the personal direction of Mr. Caldwell and will include such well-known performers as Jos. Santly, Bill Robinson, L. Wolfe Gilbert, Henry Creamer, Jimmy Johnson, David Kingsley, the organist, Jordan and Lee, W. C. Handy, Leon Flaw, R. Hollifield and Radcliff, Al. Lannoo, William Sweetman, Fats Wale, C. Luckeyh Roberts, Chris Smith, J. Berni Barbour, Dotson himself, Combs and Nevins and Brink and Hawkins.

Big Boxing Picture at the Lincoln Theatre Jack Renault Plays Featured Role in Picture Called "Knockout Riley" A cast that reads like a page from a Spalding Boxing Guide supports Richard Dix in his new Paramount starring picture, "Knockout Reilly," coming Thursday to the Lincoln Theatre. Names that have appeared in thousands of sport pages are in the list of players that Director Malcolm St. Clair, himself an ardent fight fan, selected. Jack Renault, famous contender for Gene Tunney's heavyweight championship, plays a featured role as Killer Aggera, Mexican fighter from whom Dix wins the championship in the fight climax of the picture. Graham MacNancee, nationally known radio announcer of Station WEAF, who broadcasted the Dempsey-Tunney fight, is at the ringside microphone. Joe Humphries, whose fog-horn voice has announced all the big championship fights for the last twenty years, is the ring announcer for the Dix-Renault bout. Patsy Haley, former bantamweight and now a leading New York referee, is the "third man in the ring." Jimmy DeForrest, who has trained Jack Dempsey and other famous fighters, is one of Dix's seconds. Kid McPortland, former lightweight and now a referee, is the timekeeper. The Roosevelt Theatre There is hope indeed, and the pleasant prospect of even greater things to come, for all those movie fans who like their entertainment clean and full of dramatic good red meat, when such a film as "Closed Gates," which comes to the Roosevelt Theatre the latter part of this week, is produced under the auspices of so reliable a banner as Sterling Productions. Not in so many moons has the screen revealed so intimate a grasp on human emotions, so revealing a portrait of human character, so profound a study of life. The Douglas Theatre The week-end attraction at the Douglas Theatre is Warner Bros. "The Brute," starring Monte Blue and featuring Clyde Cook and Leila Hyams. The story is based on the novel of W. Douglas Newton and was pictured by Harvey Gates, Irving Cummings directed. Never has the West of pioneer days been more truly pictured. All the thrilling panorama of it is there. Indians, cowboys, bad men, dancehall girls, camp-followers, prospectors, gamblers, Chinks, and greasers. Many of the scenes were taken in grim Death Valley and the surrounding country. But there is much to lighten the grimness. Clyde Cook, for instance, as the lucky miner. Oklahoma Red is more fun than the proverbial barrel of monkeys. Monte Blue is cast as "Easy-Goin' Randall, alias, "The Brute." He makes a gallant figure as the hiss-swinging, fighting he-man who rescues Janice (Leila Hyams) from the clutch of Felton of the Razzle Dazzle Saloon. Others in the cast are Carrol Nye and Paul Nichol- A FANFARE OF FASCINATING MUSIC BY 2 --- FAMOUS ORCHESTRAS --- 2 General Admission, S1. Boxes, seating 8. not including general admission, S5.

"The Brute" is a brave, battling melodrama that will thrill you, make you laugh, make you forget the bad that's in the best of us and remember the good that's in the worst. Don't miss seeing "The Brute." Boiangles Certainly The story comes to us of an incident that took place recently which shows that Bill (Bojangles) Robinson is not averse to voicing his opinion accent the decorum that should obtain in an up-to-date theatre. It would seem that Bill, accompanied by his wife, sat in to witness a certain show and was called from the audience to "assist" instead of putting on his world bearing act he sprung a new one by advising certain people in the audience to better respect the women of the race by conducting themselves in a gentlemanly manner in public places. It would seem that the people Bill directed his remarks to were offensive and passing a whiskey bottle back and forth same as if they were in some speaksy. Of course, the audience applauded, so do we; very much indeed. Good boy, Bill! PHILADELPHIA TO HAVE NEW THEATRE The passing of the Palais Royal, Broad below Bainbridge streets, will bring to Philadelphia another ultra modern theatre which is expected to be under construction by June 15. This theatre, which is to open with the policy of vaudeville, is expected to be opened the latter part of September. It is said that the seating capacity is to be approximately 2,500, and is to cost $500,000. The entire project as well as the operation of the theatre, will be under the direction of the Keystone Amusement Co., with officers at the Royal Theatre Building. 1524 South street, Philly, Pa.

JULIUS COVINGTON, phantom and Three, died in Paris week before church here on Saturday morning, with his companion Turk Millis with his companion Lae. came to Paris only a short time here he met with an accident, falling here because ill and was found in his hotel America. He had planned to leave given Glauer Compton, the well-known to give Covington's people the pre Mr. Compton, who is an old friend of Covington's death happened so quickly he knew it here in Paris.

"Wen" MR. and Mrs. Opal Cooper are back London, and are dwellled in the marine. Opal is entertaining at the doing fine as usual. He seems best We are in gay Pride, after six weeks in Berlin. Berlin is a wonderful city, and we were a very big success at the popular and well-known Scala Music Hall. We made gifts of good friends and will return to Berlin in early fall, at which time we will be in Germany three months. You have no idea what wonderful people the Germans are, and all the propaganda about not liking Negroes of color is really untrue. We have no idea what our prejudices our prejudiced their poison propaganda about our people right along, but I truly found that in most cases the Germans do not in the least pay any attention to the "Halloween" party. I must mention one incident of a cracker performer, POWERS, who owns "the big American Elephant act." He is doing all he can to cause strife and trouble wherever he can between European whites and Negroes in all the plausible ways he can, secondly at the big South Theatre in Berlin he plausible ways he can, thirdly at the state manor in Berlin he plausible ways he can, fourthly at the color in Germany, and Herr De Brough, who is a gentleman with worlds of experience. Simply straightened POWERS out about their view on the color question and informed him that he was certainly not in America, but was a German. The longer I stay over here the more I realize that the European nations as a whole have a "CROW" to pick with the much desplained America. The German Empire Theatre will return to London the next week in time to play the "OIL" Tony. Now the only things are rather quiet over here, and for a fortnight we are enjoying a real holiday in "gay Parlee," and O, what a holiday! I can't begin to you about this most unusual city, but I do hope you will visit it some day. I will be in Berlin, the American Negroes are doing fine in Berlin, also the one or two in Berlin. Paris is certainly the "MOST SO DIFFERENT CITY" of the world, and no wonder Blake went wild about it. THE well-known Louis Mitchell has opened one of the best eating places in Pittsburgh. Mitchell's place has only been opened a short time. But it is the most popular in Montmartre. The food is practically all American and to say it is delicious is putting it mildly. He specializes in the best things that American food is good for. He is always already doing the job of opening another place in the Latin quarter, and, being so well known and established in Paris, Mitchell can't miss. So when you are in Paris and want some real American food you will certainly get it at Mitchell's lovely restaurant, 35 Rue Pigalle, Montmartre, Paris. EU. COVINGTON, formerly of Atlanta, Ga., and California, is not to be confused with the late Julius Covington. Perhaps many of Ed. Covington's friends in America might think that he is the Covington who has just died. "Ed" is still much alive, and studying as hard as ever, and plans going to Germany on a holiday real soon. FLORENCE MILLS and her Blackbirds Co. closed at the London Pavilion May 15th and are now appearing at Golden's Green Theatre in London, an unifying theatre. JOHNNY HUDGINS, the popular comedian, has arrived in Paris from London, and will open this week at the big Ambassadeur. He is the big noise in the new revue here and his success in all like-itos will be as big as it was when he was here last summer with Blackbirds. He is due to open at the Mountain Rouge after a summer's run here with the Ambassadeur Revue. MADAM JOSEPHINE BAKER is still so popular as ever in Paris and is without a doubt the most popular place in Paris, and is attended by the smallest people. Josephine is still the same little JOE as ever, and as I sat in her room, someone that she has just opened, I could not help from being very proud of her appearance. I talked to her about talk about "Madame Josephine," as the French people call her. I shall later on write my own personal observation of her just as I come in contact with her since I have been in Paris. JULIUS COVINGTON, pianist and singer, late of the Famous Versatile Three, died in Paris week before last and was buried from the American church here on Saturday morning. Covington came to London about three months ago with Huston A. Turk, at which time he took the place of Charlotte Covington, who came to Paris only a short time before his death to look around and while here he met with an accident, falling and hurting his head, after which he became ill and was found in his hotel in a stupor, and while being rushed to the hospital died. It is indeed a shock to his friends, both over here and in his home, and given the much credit should given Clovser Covington, the well-known pianist, for the much more interesting to give Covington's people the proper information in regard to his death, Mr. Cunnington, who is an old friend of the deceased, with his wife, Mrs. Mattle Cunnington, were two of the six people that attended Covington's funeral. Covington's death happened so quickly he was buried before others of his friends arrived in Paris. He was taken to him and it with deepest regret that I inform his American friends through the Amsterdam News of his untimely death, and may his soul rest in peace. C. KINGAID, the well-known musician, is visiting in Paris, after a long run at the London Pavilion with the Blackbird Orchestra. Mr. Kincaid calls Wednesday for New York and, while he is delighted with "kay Parres," he seems very anxious to get to America. The Blackbird Orchestra will miss this splendid musician. The may Purse people in Montmartre and around are still talking about the popular TISDALE of New York who seemed to have loved The Brussels and Boulevard Clinchy and a few other artists red hot during their visit here, and they have given him a new title—The Champion FLANC, GIVER of the World. He will certainly be welcomed at any time in Paris. JIM & JACK, the two dancing boys from Philadelphia, are a real hit at the big Empire in Paris. They have just finished a very successful tour of Germany and are now headed for England. MISS. KATHERINE YARBOROUGH of New York is doing fine in her studies here in Paris and abroad, plenty of health. She too has taken on the real Parisian style and mannerism, which is very becoming to this popular art indeed. Miss Yarborough plans spending her vacation this summer in Italy. PAUL SPODANI, the big Berlin agent, is looking forward with great interest to the visit of Wen Talbert and his revue this summer. "Wen" and his bunch should be a big success all over Europe, and we are all looking forward to his coming. So hurry on, Wen. MR. and Mrs. Opal Cooper are back in Paris, after a few months' stay in London, and are damnled in their pretty little apartment near Montmartre. Opal is entertaining at the popular Florence Jones night club, and doing fine as usual. He sends best wishes to his many American friends. for poor kiddies.

Easton at the Alhambra Monday Easton at the Alhambra Monday Will Star in "How've You Been?" Next Week Sidney Easton, famed for his comedy work in "Shuffle Along No. 2," and as a recording artist and composer, has been selected for the feature role of the "Happy Bootblack" in "How've You Been?" a rollicking rural comedy which will be offered the week of June 20 at the Alhambra Theatre. Mr. Easton's theatrical career reads like the old time thriller. He started out in Savannah, Ga. as a scenery gripper and switchboard operator at the Savannah Theatre, where it was the custom each year at the close of the season to turn the house over to the colored stage help for an amateur performance. To one of these shows came Charles Gardner, who was so impressed with the work of the crew that he hired the whole lot to play under canvas with Gardner's Carnival. Then followed several years of canvas shows until 1910, at which time he launched into vaudeville. After two years in the South he appeared at the Star Theatre in Pittsburgh, from which center he played all through Pennsylvania and the West. Finally he came East and worked with Lew Henry and S. H. Dudley in Washington and Virginia. Then began his great team work with Mrs. Easton, Jimmy Stewart and Bert Howell (the violin and ukelele shark which he discovered) on the Mutual Burlesque circuit. Later, on the Columbia wheel, he did blackface opposite Charley Eagan and Eddie Hall and eventually went out on his own as manager for Sunshine Sammy and his unit on a 20-week tour. We next find him on the silver sheet under the direction of Oscar Micaux, and later playing a leading part in the Chronicles of American series, a photoplay de luxe. Mr. Easton's composing and recording have been just as successful. He has made records for Victor, Paramount and Okeh and has written several popular song-hits, among them "Go Back Where You Stmied Last Night," "Cast Away on the Island of Love," "Tell 'Em About Me when You Get to Tennessee," and was co-writer for Ethel Waters' first song, the "Jump Steady Ball. He has just completed a musical comedy, "Ebony Town." As the Happy Bootblack in "How've You Been?" he has a vehicle that shows his talent to the best advantage and that will add another hit to his already long list of successes. ENTERTAINS J.

An Illustrious and Noble Character Passes Away On May 25, 1927, a musician of great note and prominence in the person of Prof. Lott Green departed this life to enter the great choirs of Heaven, in the full triumph of faith. He was born in Richmond, Va., and came to this city as a water-boy with the Union forces after the war of Secession and remained here to make this his home permanently. He became very active in church work, and was christor of St. James Presbyterian Church when it was located in 32d street. Leaving St. James after years of service, he next went to St. Mark's M. E. Church, serving for a number of years under Prof. Bates as bass singer. He next went to Mother A. M. E. Zlon Church located at West Tenth and Bleeker streets, where he served for a number of years. He stayed in christianing until that church moved to West Eighty-ninth street, where he stayed for a number of years. He and him at the Baptist Temple in 116th street under Dr. Wisher, where he remained for a number of years. We next find him at the Union Baptist Church in Sixty-third street under Dr. Goe. He became incapacitated with the palsy, having to retire therefrom. But even though he was unable to continue at Union as chorister, he sought out a little church where he taught a little church where he musical talent. He went to Timothy. Baptist Church in Thirtieth street and served there with the Rev. J. E. Robinson, using the church's organ. He was compelled to stop, much to his chagrin and regret. He was always willing to encourage anyone with a desire to sing or who was in any way interested in music. He was a good bass singer and had a very fine, resonant, deep bass voice of excellent quality and was much sought after to quartette work. He was also a fine musical ambitions, but if one came to him for assistance in anyway and explained his or her condition, he or she was assured of funereal care and sincere helping hand be with encouragement and finance. Many of New York's now famous songsters and musicians can look back and reflect with great pride upon the help given them by Prof. Joseph A. Browne, a courageous anyone who thought they had musical ability. He had a very keen memory and would often recall something of interest, by gone days and laugh heartily. He would never forget the world until a month or two before his confinement to the bed, from which he never rallied. During his seven years of illness he complained very, very little, and was always to be found with a book that actually relied a joke or funny story. He was greatly interested in National and State politics, and was always inquiring of what the President or Governor was doing, what the President was thanking of, Legs of Mother Zlo Church and choir for the financial assistance given, also Prof. E. A. Jackson of St. Mark's M. E. Church, and others too numerous to mention for their expressions of good-will to those alive and in his sound mind, and could appreciate what had been done. He was a member of R. K. Jones Memo, Council I. O. O. St. Like, Interment was at Saratoga Springs. New York. God never loved me in so sweet a way before.

There is another important one and it is this: Many Europeans come to the Riviera for pretty much the same reason that some American Negroes come to Europe. In Europe, instead of a color question, there is a national one, which, as was shown in the last war, can attain such proportions as to make our race riots in America look like a battle between fleas. Let Negrophobe psychologists talk as they will about the unique hate that exists between white and black and how unmixable they are, but the fact, as demonstrated by three thousand years of European history, is that it seems impossible for hate to reach greater heights, or lower depths, if you will, than has been reached between white and white in Europe. The perfect symbol of Europe, go as far back in history as you will, is Mt. Vesuvius, which, no matter how smiling, is liable to scatter death around at any moment. To the civilized Europeans—and I have talked with many—this condition is as unbearable as the race question in America is to spirited Negroes, hence many have made their homes in the Riviera, because its spirit is international. Several factors have helped toward making the French Riviera cosmopolitan, the principal of which is that most of it was once Italian, having been ceded to the French in 1580 in payment of a war debt. The result is that, while it is no longer Italian, it is not yet wholly French. Just as Quebec is not wholly British or Louisiana wholly American. Further. Nice, now with a population of 200,000 and the leading place on the Riviera, was once an independent kingdom, with a dialect of its own, which is still spoken by many. Nicolos traditions are still very much alive. Again, Monaco, sandwiched in, is independent; and, lastly, is the presence of the large number of visitors and residents from all parts of the world, who A Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD Personality PERSONALITY! That thing which Elinor Glyn, popular writer, calls "IT"; that powerful spirit, pure and bright, which radiates from the countenance; that never-failing smile; that twinkle in the eye; that fascinating mannerism; that sound in the voice; that striking appearance; that charm of character which rules and animates from the heart and mind; that indescribable influence which purifies the atmosphere and leaves a characteristic essence never to be forgotten; those attributes which, like the aroma of a Jasmine flower, perfume the air and enlarge one to adore all that is aesthetic and grand—we call it personality. To be beautiful and worthy of the attention of every lover of beauty is a legitimate aim. To make the most of oneself is a duty and, since the values imprinted upon one's personality determine the test of one's worth to society, to business, to the state, to literature and art, and to his family, he necessarily proceeds to give attention to all true expressions of his real self and all that constitutes distinction and individuality. If a man would present a pleasing personality as his claim for recognition in society, he should take into consideration his mental attitude, his appearance, his manner and his speech, for these, together with his deeds, are all that his fellow men have by virtue to appraise his real worth. Personal appearance is next to character in importance. Nature is responsible for some of the factors, but there is much that the individual can do for himself. Natural beauty is a wonderful gift, but the social conquests of history have not been confined to the possessors' of beauty, for there have been many notable cases where decided plainness was the lot of one who, nevertheless, was a person of great charm. The first and distinct impression is one's figure and bearing. Self-consciousness, a awkward and haughtiness are some of the traits that stamp themselves upon the bearing of the are more intent on pleasure and winning money than on politics. Money talks more freely on the Riviera than in any other part of Europe and, for the Negro who is tired of both the race question and the national one, this ought to be the ideal place. Next to Monte Carlo, perhaps the most interesting place that is to be found on the Riviera is the Insectarium at Mention. Here one is reminded of the fact that markind, in spite of its exotism, so far as the other species are concerned, has much of the insect in him. Gamblers are not the parasites that have been attracted here. Insects attracted by the fine climate have come here in such numbers that they threaten devastation to the gardens and orchards which have been constructed with built-up earth on the sides of the mountains. Hence, it has been necessary to breed anti-parasites, which is the purpose of the Insectarium. Man, like the insect, still needs a police system to keep certain body and reveal there the clearest manifestations of character, and they are great barriers to social intercourse and mental freedom. Dress is an indispensable factor, however. It is subordinate to character. It is not necessary to adhere rigidly to fashions and fads, but good taste in the style of dress and material of good quality should be displayed and should be as striking as circumstances and modesty will allow. The niceties of life are always matters of small care, but great moment. It is fair to assume that every person of refinement adheres to the habit of personal cleanliness with scrupulous conscientiousness, and that proper attention is given to the little details and finishing touches of dressing which give the impression conveyed in that graphic expression "well-groomed." There is no more attractive accomplishment than the art of correct speech and intelligent conversation. Given expressions, slang, or the many faults of mispronunciation and ungrammatical construction into which people fall do much to mar the personality which would delight to charm and successfully preclude the possibility of popularity among refined people. No physical defect is more sharing than the mental defect revealed in a person's sentences and the words they utter. It is also a mark of refinement to be a good listener and to find interest in the conversation or expressions of others. Politeness and interest in others, their families and friends, which show real concern in their welfare: appreciating the virtues and accomplishments of others and making it known personally: forgiving others for their mistakes and vices and making everyone fee] that he has something within him that is really worth while, are qualities that give one a reputation for charm. After all, personality is one's greatest asset in life, and no effort or thought should be spared in making it pleasing and inspiring. Our charm is our one big gift to the world. A radiant smile, 'a pleasant thought, a something that pleases the goodwill of everyone, cost us not ing and not us much, and stick forever. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY.

Dear Egypty Ann: Is it such a sin to love a married man? One can't help one's feeling, and surely in this modern age free love isn't rare. The man in question has been married ten years and has it respected position in society through his business and manners. He has children and known wife. I know that he loves me, but he doesn't want to divorce his wife because of his love for the children and because of the talk it would involve. His wife is a mother, and she has her own ways and doesn't understand him. I am twenty-one, popular, and this is my first real love affair. Am I entirely wrong in loving this man and would I be demanding too much in expecting him to get a divider. MAUD. Dear Maud: First of all, let me agree with you that free love isn't rare in this modern age and, furthermore, it wasn't rare in any age. Free love isn't any brand-new twentieth century discovery. It's an experiment that doesn't prove successful. Now, use reason. What is the sense of spending a lot of precious time with someone who is married and satisfied to be see? Yes, of course, he is satisfied. You don't see him making any attempt to free himself, do you? He's in love, all right—with himself. Why do you want to make a little fool out of yourself? If he loved you, in the true sense of the word, he'd do the honorable thing and get a divorce. A divorce doesn't make one less respected, you know. I won't tell you to put yourself in the wife's position. Somehow the average girl could conceive the idea he could be the anything different than the youthful, attractive person she is now. Stop seeing this man and become interested in someone else. Infatuation has blinded you so that you can't see the good qualities in anyone else nor the bad qualities in this man. Remember that a married man has the best of alibis when he has tired of free love. Dear Eggyss Ann: I introduced my girl friend to my boy friend and she immediately fell in love with him. She invited him to that boyfriend he have told me that he has taken him to dance. I questioned him about it and he said that my fears were foolish and that he was only trying to be nice to her because she's my friend. He said that he really didn't care to, but she insisted and paid his way. He doesn't want me to go out with other boys. Eggyss Ann, I love him and I don't think she's fine. Do you and I have been good friends for three years. Please advise. As I don't like to an By J. A.

The best thing for you to do is to drop out of the act. Refuse his invitations on the grounds that you are busy. If he cares he won't let you give him up and then you could let him understand that he's got to choose between you and the other girl. Don't appear too anxious and he'll most likely lose a little of his conceit. If he chooses the other girl, thank your stars that you've found out how changeable a type he is and get busy and find some new friends. Luck to You. EGYPSY ANN. Can You Tell? 1.

To give an example of the cost of living: oranges ripen on trees along the sidewalk in Monton. Buy one in the market and the price is slightly higher than in New York. Fishing is one of the industries. Fisherwomen, d o w d y, gaunt or fat, with hair flying loose, may be seen helping to Pay Day A Trip Story THE last day of the month fell upon Sunday; and, of course, the Bluebird Hotel, at which Lucy Smith was a waitress, wouldn't pay off until Monday. Sunday was Lucy's day off, and hadn't she promised Momsie to tage her on the Saturday night excursion to Atlantic City. It was true Lucy's wages were only $9 a week, plus tips; but it was equally true that two $4 tickets would take her and Momsie to the seashore and back home; and since Lucy had, by dint of denial, saved $4 during the past month, there was a tidy sum of five whole dollars to spend on herself and Momsie. But what good was that, without the nine dollars wages, thought Lucy, in half anger, as she raced back and forth from the dining hall to the Bluebird's pantry. "We have to work three Sundays out of the month," muse Lucy, as she carried a heavy tray to a table of merrymakers. "I don't see why the pay clerk can't work on one Sunday a month." "Maybe he'll favor me," thought Lucy. A brief visit to the office of Mr. Jones, the pay clerk, however, dispelled all hopes. "No pay until Monday," he snapped. "If you want to be paid today you'll have to quit." he added with a rising tone in his voice. Lucy went mournfully back to the waiting room, where the waitresses assembled at mealtime. She wasn't surprised. Hadn't she always known that the Bluebird was a third-class hotel. Hadn't even Momiosa said that first-class people, never all at the Bluebird. What else could be expected? Half in tears and half in anger, Lucy responded to the bell rung from the table in the alcove, where there sat the old lady and her daughter whom she had zealously served for two days. "H-m, another ten cent tip," said Lucy to herself, as she gave the two a set up "If Momsi hadn't taught me to be efficient at all times," thought Lucy, "I'd certainly slight this pair tonight. It's no use, though, to wear a grouch. Maybe I can borrow ten dollars on my winter coat, and take Momsi to the scashore anyhow." The meal being shortly endod, the aged lady and her daughter arose from the table and prepared to leave. "Waitress," the young lady said pleasantly, "we are leaving A.

And, after all that hard work of twenty or more persons, what was the catch that everyone was crowding around to see? Less than a third of a bucketful of silver minnows so small that they melted into a single mass. For three consecutive mornings at Menton the catch was hardly better than that, and on the fourth and several following mornings the sea was too high for nets. After the work with tonight and we thank you for your kind and attentive service." "You're welcome.

But, could she believe it, as Lucy lifted the saucer from the cloth, there just bencath it was a crisp ten-dollar bill. Pen Pointers By CLIFORD L. MILLER. The busy bee of conscience stings sensitive souls into making the honey of goodness. When you behold the world through the smoked glass of selfishness, it is dark. One great reason for all our fault finding with our neighbor is that our two eyes look out and not in. Most souls meet their Waterloo when they strive to have their deeds and ideals live on neighborly terms. Don't sit and wait for something to turn up. Go out gunning and turn something up. Give wings to some desires and chloroform to others. The man who can convert the opposing wind into a motor is master of his fate. Know New York State Five Postmasters-General of the United States have come from New York State. The first was Francis Granger, appointed by President Harrison in 1841; the last was George B. Cortelyou, appointed by President Roosevelt in 1905. New York State and Texas last year together furnished nearly one-third of the country's exports. The Empire State supplied goods worth $61,700,000, and Texas $648,000,000. Buffalo, New York, was the first city in the country to have electric street lamps. In 1881 twelve lamps were installed on Ganson street, lighting the waterfront for one mile. The last execution in this country for piracy took place in 1860, when Albert Hicks was hanged for "murder on the high seas" on Bedloe's Island in New York Harbor, now the site of the Status of Liberty. The first grand opera in New York City was produced in 1847, eighty years ago. It was "Ernault."

In the decade between 1910- 1920 the increase of Negroes in New York City was 64.753. In the last seven years the increase must be near 60.000. At the present time they number over 200.000. This is a large population of Negroes suddenly compelled to adjust itself to a new and difficult environment, habits, occupation and diet. the nets comes the beaching of the heavy boat. It is no "snap" for the women of the poor amid all this wealth. Of course, to myself and the other tourists, these poor folk are picturesque. They give color to the locality and their defence dogs give one such a comfortable feeling of superiority. More and more I am beginning to understand why so many good friends of the Negro in the North are so anxious to keep him a Negro, rather than see him a citizen, and why also so many Southern whites long for the good old days of slavery, and are planning monuments to the good old darsey hat in band. Most of the territory hereabouts was either conquered or overrun by the Moors and the Arabs. Several of their buildings are still to be seen in the village of Cagnes, as well as traces of their ancestry in face of the natives. Nice, too, was the scene of a great religious dispute in the fourth century between the Christian Church in Europe and the one in Africa over the question of whether Christ was equal with God. The result was the Nicene Creed. Near here, also, at Climiez, was where the Apostle Barnabas was said to have begun his first mission. Here, also, was an arena, now a mere ruin, where the Christians were thrown to the lions as in Rome. Halfway between Nice and Cannes, the great yachting center, is Antibes, a picturesque town, more than two thousand years old. Here I visited Claude McKay and, contrary to expectation, found him looking healthy and weighing more than he did in America. For several years he has been ill most of the time.

These factors influence largely the health of a people, and especially Negroes, whose immunity is not developed against overcrowding, respiratory diseases, heart ailments and kidney diseases The task of educating 200,000 Negroes undergoing a period of adjustment in personal and public health matters is a stupendous job, and it is going to require the combined efforts of the Negro medical men as teachers, the educated and influential laymen as promoters, and the Negro press as the mouthpiece of publicity. Our immediate efforts must be to increase the expectancy of life among our city Negroes twenty years longer than it is at present. This lengthening in life expectancy will mean much to our economic salvation The Negro's economic status is low at the present time. Increased sickness will lower it still more through discomfort, anxiety, inconvenience and premature death. The Negro's attitude relative to health details must be changed. We need more concerted action and study in the biologic and social reactions of the Negroes in their new problems of city life. At the present time, only four or five organizations are actively engaged in health education among Negroes in New York City, bringing a measure of hope, encouragement and enlightenment to the masses who need it, so much. The industrial, social and health work of the Urban League is undoubtedly helpful.

McKay, it will be recalled, is the author of "Harlem Shadows," which came into considerable publicity when a delegation of leading Negroes called on Congress during the series of race riots that occurred the war and, after reading one of the poems, "If We Must Die," declared that its spirit was that of the present generation of Negroes who had decided to suffer massacre with impunity no longer. The poem, together with an account of the incident, was printed in the Congressional Record. "If We Must Die" is really the "Marsellaise" of the American Negro. "Harlem Shadows" covers a wide range of subjects, from lynching to the wind in the New York subway. It was abundantly praised by the critics of both groups, and that thousands of the copies still remain on the shelves of the publishers' while the author is in want is, in truth, if not police English, certainly no credit to us. The publishers of "Harlem Shadows" are Harcourt, Brace & Co. of New York. The price is two dollars.

The North Harlem Medical Society is enlarging its work and program in community health problems. The Social Service Department of Harlem Hospital is doing some work that is good, but its activities are small and its organization is meager. This department of such an important hospital among Negroes should be big enough to cope with the cases needing home and environmental investigation and help. The influential Negroes and politicians should demand a larger and more efficient Social Service Department to Harlem Hospital. These five organizations are teaching and helping the masses. They are, however, only a factor in the bucket. Social maladjustment, ignorance and overcrowding are the chief causes of sickness among New York Negroes. Much of this sickness, such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, heart disease, infant diseases and syphilitic nervous diseases, can be lessened in intensity, and in many cases prevented, by education, sanitation and early medical care. The community, to bring results, must be wide awake. The educated Nogroes, those of wealth and power must pitch in and give their time, money and thought to this problem of community interests. In this way the burden of help will be equalized by all; the rich and the powerful doing their part, but not having thrust upon them all the burdens of the unfortunate, the poor, the uneducated and the lowly. In other words, the many Norsews who can must help in the matter of community co-operation. SPECIAL ARTICLES The Negro in the World's Literature By THOMAS L. G. OXLEY Alexander S. Pushkin (1799-1837) Poet, Novelist, Dramatist LEXANDER S. PUSHKIN—sometimes spelled Poushkin—was Russia's greatest poet of the soul; the laureate of Czar Nicholas. He was born in an aristocratic family at Moscow in 1799. Through his mother he had Negro blood in his veins. She was a beautiful creole, the granddaughter of Hannibal, an Abyssinian Negro, a slave in the seraglio at Constantinople, who had been stolen and brought to Russia by a corsair and then not only adopted but ennobled by Peter the Great. Pushkin was really proud of his thick lips and crisp, curly hair. He was "a drop of Afric blood on Arctic snows." His father was Sergius Livitch, a typical prototype of the noblemen of the time of Catherine II. The poet's father squandered a large parimony, lived all his life anyhow and anyway, amid feasts, in a house half empty and half finished. He was an admirer of the lighter French literature, with Volatirian ideals, fond of entering into a discussion upon anything that he had just learned from the encyclopedists, and concerting together at his house all possible moillies of literature. Russian and French, who happened to be at Moscow. er to English readers. His chief novel in verse, "Engheniy Onyeghin," is written with an easiness and a lightness of style, and a picturesqueness of detail, which makes it stand unique in English literature. It is his most popular work. In its form it has much in common with Byron's "Childe Harold," but it is thoroughly Russian, and contains perhaps the best description of Russian life, both in the courts and in the smaller estates of noblemen in the country that has ever been written in Russian literature. The beauty of form, the happy His father was in a position to give the boy a decent education and gave him French and German tutors at a very early age. In 1811 the future poet entered the newly established lyceum of Tarskoye Selo, situated near St. Petersburg. Before he left school six years later he became known as a most extraordinary and promising young poet, to whom Zhukouskly presented his portrait bearing the following inscription: "To a pupil, from his defeated teacher," in 1817 he quitted the lyceum and became minister of foreign affairs; and began in the same year the composition of his famous Ruslan and Lioudmila, a poem which was completed in 1820. In 1818 he read to a few of his selected friends the opening verses of "Ruslan and Lioudmila," Joukovghi and Batiouchkine were astounded at its deep qualities. "This is something new!" they cried. And it was for Russian literature. The duties of a minister of foreign affairs kept; Pushkin in the gayest of society that for a long time his closest friends thought he would turn out a mere man of fashion instead of a man of letters. A great lover of liberty, an admirer of Byron, he composed a daring "Ode to Liberty" which was circulated in manuscript form in St. Petersburg. A copy of this poem fell into the governor's hands; the young poet only escaped ostracism to Siberia by accepting an official position at Kishiner in Bessarabia, in the southern part of Russia. Pushkin was externally influenced by the Byronic Weltschmerz. A short visit to the baths of the Caucasus for the reestablishment of his health in 1822, he felt the charms of his wonderful scenery, and composed "The Prisoner of the Caucasus," depicting the story of the love of a Caucasian girl for a handsome young officer. This was followed by "The Fountain of Bakheisarai," which narrates of the detention of a young Polish prisoner, a Countess Potocka, in the palace of the khans of the Crimea. In 1824, when he rendered himself unobearable at Odessa perhaps from fear that he might escape to Greece to join Lord Byron, he was ordered to return to Central Russia and to reside at his small estate, Mikhailovskoye, in the province of Pskov, where he wrote his best compositions. He and Count Vorontzor became embroiled and Pushkin took to heart the insult of his being sent to Bessarabia to report upon the damages which had been committed by locusts, and as a result sent in his resignation. On December 14, 1825, when the Insurrection of the Decemberists broke out at St. Petersburg, Pushkin was at Mikhailovskoye; otherwise, like so many of his close Decemberist friends, he would most certainly have terminated his life in Siberia, he succeeded in burning all his papers before they could be seized by the secret police. Through influential court associates he succeeded in making his peace with the Emperor and was shortly after that allowed to return to the capital, where he was presented to the Emperor, Nicholas I, soon after his coronation. The story goes that Nicholas said to Count Bludor on the same evening: "I have just been conversing with the most wifty man in Russia." The Emperor later made the poet the chamberlain of his court. Pushkin is not quite a strang- er to English readers. His chief novel in verse, "Engheniyi Onyeghin," is written with an easiness and a lightness of style, and a picturequeness of detail, which makes it stand unique in English literature. It is his most popular work. In its form it has much in common with Byron's "Childe Harold," but it is thoroughly Russian, and contains perhaps the best description of Russian life, both in the counts and in the smaller estates of noblemen in the country, that has ever been written in Russian literature. The beauty of form, the happy ways of expression, the incomparable command of verse and rhyme are his main points—not the beauty of his ideas. He is certainly a great poet, with a depth of thought and philosophical comprehension of life. He was full of vital potentialities, and his own self is reflected in everything he wrote: a human heart, full of fire, is throbbing intensely in all his lines. The young poet had the misfortune to marry a lady who was very beautiful but did not by any means appreciate his talents. In 1837, in the midst of a growing literary popularity, he fought a duel on his wife's account, in which he was mortally wounded by Baron George Heckeren d'Anthes, the adopted son of the Dutch minister then living at the Court of St. Petersburg. D'Anthes, a vain and inscrutable young man, had married a sister of the poet's wife. Arousing Pushkin's anger by his attention to his wife, the poet became wreatful and a duel ensued. Pushkin died after two days' suffering on the afternoon of Friday, the 10th of February, 1837. Pushkin's poetical tales are intensely Russian in their fibre; they are spirited and abound with plenty of dramatic power. His verses flow as easy as prose, and as lucid as running water, and free from unnatural expressions, even when he describes the most violent human passions. He was at his best in his lyric poetry, and the chief note of his lyrics was love. Pushkin in his lyric poetry represented love under so many variations, in such beautiful styles and forms, and with such a variety of shades, as one finds in no other poet. In Russia, Pushkin has sometimes been described as a Russian Byron. This appreciation, however, is hardly correct. He certainly imitated Byron in some of his poems, although the imitation became, at least in "Eugheny onygehin," a brilliant original masterpiece which must be considered the poet's greatest work. Pushkin also tried his hand at the drama; and so far as may be judged from his last productions "Don Juan" and "The Miser-Knight," he surely would have accomplished results and he lived to continue them. His "Mermaid" (Rusalka) unfortunately was never completed, but its dramatic significance can be judged from what Dargomyznsky has made of it in the opera. The poet's life is indisolubly bound up with his work. He lived every line he penned. And indeed his character, his temperament, his racial features, are as powerfully evident in his original as in some of his writings. Pushkin was the first writer to express the inner soul of his people. He felt their heartbents. He knew their sorrows and gave music to all. A whole generation of Russian women have cried over this monologue, as they were reading these lines: Onyeghin, I was younger then And better looking. I suppose. And I loved you—But what.— What did I find then in your heart? What answer? —None but cold reproof! Of course, it was not new to you The love of a young country girl.

Gives His Impressions on What Has Taken Place Why Negro Business Men Often Employ White Girls EARLY in the last century William Wentworth Mason, Chief of the Bureau of Investigation of the United States Department of Justice, was asked what he considered the most essential quality of the investigator. "Well," he said, "I demand this one quality in all of my subordinates: That they forget during the hours when they are away from the job anything which took place during their working hours." Chief Mason explained further that if the individual were able to forget the facts of his duties when he was away from his job, that he would always be free from the temptation of talking about the people with whom he came into contact during his working hours. In the march of the Negro to progress his transactions, social and business, have come to be of some importance in the modern sense of the word, and he is entitled to the same loyalty from his employees that other employers of other races exact and receive from their help. Over the long period of the development of business in the white man's world certain species of behavior, known as ethics, have come to be the accepted basis of the relationship between those who hire and those who are hired. This discussion shall concern itself mainly with the proper behavior of those who are hired. It is said at times that the colored man does not willingly patronize other colored persons engaged in the professions and in business. Many reasons have been advanced to account for this attitude on the part of the colored public, but this discussion has usually thrown most of the blame upon the shoulders of the colored public and has left completely out of the discussion the essential basis for this attitude by the colored public. However rich or however poor the individual, he feels that he is entitled to the greatest protection of his affairs from the rude and vulgar vision of those who are not properly parties in the operation of these affairs. He, therefore, resents any transgressions of the established rules under which the auffairs of his friends and himself should be With the winning of the Pulitzer prize by "In Abraham's Bosom" now in revival at the Provincetown Playhouse, the development of Ethiopian activity in American drama is attracting wide attention. Nine productions have been given on Broadway with companies composed completely or in part of Negro actors. In several instances black playwrights have That showy tusel of court life, All my successes in the world.

She pleads with Onyeghin to leave her: "I love you," she says: Why should I hide the truth from you? But to another I am given. And true to him I shall remain. As a prose writer Pushkin was excellent and showed considerable skill in "The Undraker," a ghost story "The Captain's Daughter." "The Queen of Spades" and "The Pistol Shot." THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1927 THEY NEED IT, SAY SEVERAL EMPLOYERS conducted by those whose business it is to handle such affairs. The essential basis upon which any sort of help is employed is loyalty; and this loyalty comprehends not only the execution of duties and tasks by the employee, but also the protection by such employee of the facts of such duties and tasks. If Mrs. Smith goes to Mr. Jones, a lawyer, with her domestic affairs, Miss Brown, the stenographer, is as much a party to Edgar M. Grey the affairs connected with Mrs. the Smith's domestic business as are Mrs. Smith and Attorney Jones and is thereby bound in honesty to the loyalty which she owes to her job, to keep the affairs of Mrs. Smith as confidential as possible, and not to gossip about Mrs. Smith's affairs with Miss Prude. Then, too, if Mrs. Smith discovers that her affairs have been brought out upon the streets and into the society of Miss Brown's friends, she is justified in refusing to continue to take her business to the office of Attorney Jones. While it might be said that it is not the fault of Attorney Jones that his stenographer talks too much, it must be agreed that his duty is to employ such help as will, by training and experience: have learned to keep their mouth closed after business hours about the affairs of the office. Recently the writer had occasion to visit the offices of a colored attorney in the downtown section of the city. To his amusement he discovered that the attorney, who had had the reputation of being a race man, had employed as stenographers and file clerks girls of the other race. When asked about this inconsistency, the attorney explained that experience had taught that his policy was the better. This attorney said that he had tried to keep colored girls in his employ, but that they had caused his office to lose thousands of dollars because of the fact that they had found it impossible, after repeated warnings, to refrain from discussing the affairs of his clients with their acquaintances. written the dramas and directed the presentations. "Goat Alley" was next to the last of the Negro plays on the stage, but "Porgy" will be a Theatre Guild production next season. The O'Neill character study, "The Emperor Jones," originally offered several years ago and recently revived, remains an outstanding drama of its class. The second work of that type from the same source, "All God's Children Got Wings," also proved strong enough to stand revival this year. Charles Gilpin, a Negro barber, was made immortal among his race and attained permanent fame on the stage in the Haytian melodrama. Paul Robeson scored an artistic success as the dusky hero, modeled on Jack Johnson's lines, in "Black Boy," in which black and white actors participated. Rose McClendon, an angular actress, won critical commendation in "Deep River," the operatic drama which failed after an ambitious production through the holidays. Julius Bledsoe also scored in this production, in which a cast of contrasting colors participated. Robeson and Bledsoe, who possess voices of rare depth and volume, achieved distinction on the concert platform as well. Miss McClendon went from "Deep River" to "In Abraham's Bosom," repeating her success. This drama brought to general attention an obscure Negro, Frank Wilson, who substituted for Bledsoe and scored. In "Earth" Daniel L. Haynes has attracted attention, "The "Bottom of the Cup" proved short-lived. The outstanding drama of colored character is "Lulu Belle," to be sure, with Lenore Ulric as the Harlem Carmen in a company of Last year a divorce action resulted from the fact that a colored girl employed in the office of a certain Harlem physician reported to her friends the confidential relationship which existed between her employer and a famous society lady in Harlem. Within the past week the writer made it his business to discuss this particular subject with colored and white men in the professional and business world. He was informed in every case that it was the experience of those whom he interviewed that colored help had not yet learned to appreciate the confidential nature of their employment. A Negro real estate operator informed the writer that he had lost during 1926 more than $20,000 of business because of the gossiping of his employees, men and women. A colored tailor said that he had lost trade because his male help would make it their business to stand on the corners and discuss the price which customers had paid him for garments and suits which they had purchased. A colored waiter went out of his way to inform the husband of one of the patrons of the restaurant where he was employed of the fact that this patron's wife conducted midnight parties at the restaurant. A lady clerk in the office of a Harlem pastor overheard a conversation between the pastor and one of the church members, added more to what was said, by the use of her imagination, made certain deductions based upon the story according to her imagination, and then tattled the whole-cloth story abroad. As a result there was a real honest-to-goodness row and the pastor was forced to resign. A white butcher doing business in Harlem decided to employ colored assistants. They proved to be apt workers, and then he promoted one of their number to assistant manager. One Monday morning a customer came to the butcher, raving mad. After much noise he gleaned from her complaint that the assistant manager had told his wife that the lady in question had continuously come into the store to purchase "dog meat." The wife of the assistant manager had relayed the story to the friends of the customer, adding that, since she had no dogs, she must positively have purchased the "dog meat" for her own use. The manager of a furniture house which does a large credit business among colored people said: "I would like to employ all Negro help in my place, but experience has demonstrated that they will report the business of the client to their friends." In 1825 a colored girl was employed in an apartment house as maid to a wealthy woman.

Edward Sheldon, author of that other tragic play, "The Nigger," wrote it in collaboration with Charles MacArthur, a reporter. David Belasco will send the entire production on a national tour next season. Without exception whether Employees Should Guard Secrets of Their Employers real estate operator in Harlem was the agent for some property which this woman owned. On several occasions the real estate man would have to visit the home of the white woman to discuss the business of his agency with his client. The maid, being of blunt mind and without the proper sort of imagination, concluded that the real estate man, who was a respectable married man with several children, must be conducting an illicit relationship with the white woman. Whereupon she made her conclusions and deductions known to a lady friend who was a personal friend of the wife of the real estate man. The wife became enraged and wrote the white woman a hot letter, in which she told her that she was fighting mad. The woman took the matter up with her attorney and a beautiful mess was the result. The maid lost her job, the real estate man his client, and the white woman her confidence in colored maids and colored real estate operators. Some years ago a leading Negro politician attracted the attention of a white woman of wealth who made it her duty to donate large sums of money to the support of the political club which the Negro politician conducted. This club had been fighting for the recognition of the political rights of the community by the white politicians in one of the major parties. It would have been impossible for the colored politician to have effected the good for his race and the Harlem community without the financial assistance which this white woman brought to his work. When the battle had been nearly-won and Negro citizenship had been benefited to a large degree, a colored stenographer and clerk made it her business to report to common gossips that the Negro political leader had entered into intimate relation: ship with the white woman. This report created such a disturbance among the female members of the organization that the leadership of the politician became ineffective. If Negro employees are to hold their own with other employment groups they must choose between loyalty to their social friends and loyalty to those who support them. They should realize that good faith is always a basis of employment and that this cannot be broken without disastrous results to their employers and to the clients who make it possible for them to make a living. the amber locks, whose lustre mocks lightning glancing gleams moonlight's beams. the eyes, and wreathe ups that breathe words that bear story dear; when we childhood free, jasmine wreathe, now beneath jasmine flowers, duty hours. high apperas curi of years, bloom. glow resume, debris now. gladdens still light can kill: hearts that amber, life encumbers, to feel fain conceal. lightly beamed wittful seemed; ed on. they have gone; beaming cross and were lost. AS L. G. OXLEY. written by white or black authors, the Negro plays have been dominated by a note of despair. The light-hearted, light-footed Negro of Caucasian imagination plays no part. It is the physical suffering, the mental frustration, the abiding misery of the Negro's lot in city or country that is de- SPECIAL ARTICLES Lindbergh and the Negro Problem IN NEW YORK CITY on Monday thousands of Negroes joined a million or more white people in acclaiming Charles Lindbergh as our hero, because of his remarkable feat in crossing the Atlantic tion of the world. He has joined the ranks of such immortals as Columbus, Livingstone, Lincoln, and others. Was Lindbergh honored alone because of his hazardous feat of crossing the Atlantic in a non-stop flight in an airplane? No. He was so honored because of those sterling qualities of character which he possessed which enabled him to fly this plane across the Atlantic, connecting two continents. Those qualities of character may be listed as follows: At sturdy Viking lineage; confidence in self; beliefs in the realization of his objective, and his ability to do this difficult task alone. When others were engaged in controversies as to methods, division of the spoils, positions of honor, etc., Lindbergh arrived at Roosevelt Field, took off, and crossed the Atlantic alone. In so doing he was a pioneer, a trail blazer. All who follow after will be traveling beaten paths. To the young Negroes in America who have honored Lindbergh there should be gained from this young man's experience a lasting lesson, a lesson which should be used in the solution of our many problems. In the difficult task of bridging the chasm of racial misunderstanding it would pay us well to emulate the character elements found in the life of Charles Lindbergh. Too often as a racial group, in an effort to solve our problems, we have been afraid to GO IT ALONE. Too often we have followed the advice and accepted the support of those who knew not our problems, and whose hearts did not vibrate sympathetically with ours. We have been afraid to go it alone politically. We have been afraid to go it alone religiously. We have been afraid to go it alone economically. We have failed to manifest that confidence in self which was so evident in the character of Lindbergh. Too long has the Negro hobbied through life on the crutch of philanthropy. Too long has he followed beaten paths by mimicking the social, moral, political and economic standards set by others. We may achieve greatness in this way in a measure, just as Chamberlain and Levine have but as a race we will never be a Lindbergh and receive the acclaim of the world until we have become pioneers, trail blazers, with confidence in ourselves and a belief in the ultimate triumph of our race, and last, the will to GO IT ALONE!

The Negro race, like other races of the human family, is not calloused or unappreciative when it comes to paying homage to an outstanding character who has achieved an outstanding feat.

King, who, according to the police, was one of the worst men in Georgia and left that state to settle in Pennsylvania, died up to his name last week when he picked up a bike in the Glasson avenue station, threw the entire relic home of a policemen into a turmoil and beat up four Saturday morning, June 11.

Although the detectives had been arrested that King was a dangerous man, he submitted to arrest mockly when they found him at 18:1 Carlton avenue. The had been searching for him all day. They visited a number of Fulton street pool parlors and a house at 4 Durham avenue, but King could not be found. They received a tip that he was at the Carlton avenue house. From his arrest King was taken to the Classon avenue station and placed in the "rear cell," which has an addition to the regular cell down a second door through the ornament pen which must be used. King Apparently Asleep. The station house was unassigned during the early and hot hours of Friday night. At 1 o'clock Thomas Hunt attendant, happened through the jail and noticed the man was apparently Local Elks Stage Surprise Elect New Exalted Ruler to Replace Tom A short time later Sergeant Thomas Boeig, who could not sleep on account of the heat, stroked through the emergency garage to talk to Parrotman Boyle, who was on night duty. In the sunlight he looked up and saw King towering above him. The man can past the sergeant in the corridor, through the staircase, and vaulted the malling in front of the Hentonian's desk. Lee Keefe, at the desk, was taken together by surprise. Serge, Edmund Szenetze, at the stairboard, saw King leap the glass rail and disappear through the outer door. Boyle ran after. King, at the same time calling for help, Sergita Borelli sounded a siren on a truck in the garage. This aroused the many policemen who were in the house on reserve. They put on clothes and started in pursuit of the escaping prisoner. Down the avenue they ran, following King and Patrolman Boyle, into Jefferson place, up Willoughby and into Myrtle avenue. King led into an apartment house and ran into the rear yard. Meets His Water Here the desperado met his Warship, for he was barred from further escape, as he was face to face with a Sifon fencer. With his back to the wall the man made an attempt to retrieve his steps, but he was met by Boyle. They clinched and in the struggle King bit off part of the policeman's thumb. He then disposed of Boyle. Patrolman Smith White was the next man to King. He soon had White out of the way, for during this brief time he sprained both of White's wrists. Sergt Boeig had it carried at the scene of battle, joined the fray, but did not hear for King paralyzed him with a sick in the stomach. Patrolman Ludwig Muller now joined the battle and tried to knock King out with his night stick but did not succeed. Patrolman Wailg was his next victim. He knocked him out with a blow on the head. By this time all of the reserves had joined the fight and they overcame the prisoner by sheer manpower. He was handcuffed and taken back to the station house. Forces Man to Bury Victim. According to the police of Avonlea, Pa. King came to this town some time ago. It was known that he had a bad reputation, but they did not bother him.

Exalted Ruler to Replace Tom Higgins One of the greatest surprises in local Elkdom occurred Monday night, June 6, when Enabled Riley Thomas L. Higgins, the well-known lawyer, was defeated for reelection by Esteemed Leading Knight, Joseph M. Washington, at the annual election of Brooklyn Lodge No. 32 of the L. B. P. O. of Elks of the World, which took place in the Elks' Rest, 1098 Fulton street. Higgins had served two terms and had done much great work in that time, but it seemed that the rank and file of the lodge had come to the conclusion that he had been controlled by a machine headed by "Bill McFarland and Walter A. Peterson. Higgins also had run counter to the will, at times, of Past Grand Exalted Ruler George E. Wiberen and Past Exalted Ruler Rohrert Zeno. These two combined forces had as their slogan "Two terms are enough; give the other man a chance." These magic words had their effect. Washington is a painter and decorator and, as Esteemed Leading Knight, has served for almost two years. Mostly this office also makes him chairman of the slick committee and he has done many kind thins for the slick members of the lodge and many came out to show their appreciation of him. He is a member of Bridge Street Church, the Knights of Pythias and other organizations. Thirteen delegates to the Grand Lodge session were elected. William Pope, the first exalted ruler of the lodge, headed the delegation. 5,000 Colored Children in Sunday School Parade Blue skies and sunshine ubered in Brooklyn's Sunday School Anniversary Day. Thursday, June 9, with over 5,000 colored youngsters joining with the 120,000 white children of all the Protestant faiths in this, the children's biggest day. They awakened to the varied events with laughter and enthusiasm. Mothers, however, were awake even earlier, for gala attire, requiring last-minute touches, always have marked these parades, which are peculiar to Brooklyn. Pretty little colored girls and grinning little colored boys with shining faces that rivaled the colors of the rainbow were in line. There were twenty-six parades in Brooklyn, this being due to the wide expanse of the city, and there are churches in every section. All of the twenty-five churches had large representations in most of the divisions. Concord Baptist Church, Bridge Street, Fleet Street, St. Augustine's, Siloam and Nazarene Churches had the largest representations. The marchers went from their several churches to a white church in the division of which they were a part, held religious services, and then were dismissed. The parades showing stands were men prominent in the life of the city, State and nation. After the parade the children went to their various churches and partook of a very splendid luncheon. Many Out to Halcyon Pleasure Club Reception Nearly 200 people, prominent in the social life of the city, attended the annual inspirational reception and dance of the Haleyon Pleasure Club, which was held at the Trinity Studio on Greene avenue Friday night, June 10. During the course of the evening an elaborate collation was relied on. Daily attendees were also given to the guests. The officers of the club are Mrs. Hepa Yalton, president; Mrs. M, John Curtis, secretary; and Mrs. M, Clark, treasurer. Twelve matrons, who are socially prominent in Brooklyn, constitute the membership of the organization. In Splendid Address at Professional and Business Men's Night John E. Nail, New York business man and social agency leader, was the principal speaker on the program Friday evening at the professional and business men's night at the eleventh anniversary of the Corona Congregational church, 11th street and Jackson avenue, Corona, N. Y. The Rev. George W. Hilton is pastor, and E. S. Reed, Corona real estate man, was master of ceremonies. Mr. Nail stated that the Negro church has lost its greatest opportunity for service by plunging itself deeply into debt which must be paid off by the sweat and blood of the poor. "There is just as much business in religion as there is religion in business," he said. He stated further that churches should be run on a sound business basis, by investing the churches money for an adequate interest return. In this manner, he maintained, the pastor would be freed from financial worries, and thus be able to render better social and spiritual service to his congregation. He denounced the failure of the Negro to be productive. In effect, he declared it a sin against the race to keep them bound in economic slavery through church debts, and that millions invested in a church property to save men's souls would serve an infinitely better purpose if the same amounts were invested in productive business. "Negro business cannot survive solely through the support of our own group, he said, because competition is too keen. We do not believe in Negro business and will not give it our full measure of support. The ideal of service is the sound basis on which business should be built; then they can way to fail. We cannot never be by dependence solely on the support of the Negro. Why? because you cannot convince him of your ability and that you are worthy of his confidence. We are a peculiar people." "No action that the N. A. A. D. has ever started in behalf of my member of our race has been for even a dollar member. All those they have defended were not even dollar members. We discourage those who help us. Short additions to our made by William Sutton, A. L. Randolph, Percy Green, the Rev. E. R. Artist, and Dr. Williams, all of Corona.

Whites Would Bar the Cogills Attempt to Prevent Dance Hall on Lower Myrtle Avenue Because Mr. and Mrs. William Cogill are determined to give downtown Brooklyn a first-class banquet hail at 100 Myrtle avenue. It has suddenly been discovered that the section from Lawrence street to Bridge street on Myrtle avenue is a "white" business section. This "great discovery" has been made by white business houses who have thrived for many years on business that came from colored men and women. This was revealed on Tuesday, June 7, when the application of the Cogill came up for a hearing before Deputy Commissioner of Licenses Patrick J. Diamond. A petition had been secured by Meade, the shoe dealer; B. Shellenburg, clothier; Applebau, another clothier, of 98 Myrtle avenue; the white baker at 96 Myrtle avenue, and others, who claimed that the district is a business district and that a dance hall license would hurt the neighborhood. Negroes have lived in this section for many years, and Applebaum, the Jewish cloister, at 88 Myrtle avenue, stated at the hearing that he had white tenants over his store, it is reported. Investigation showed that he has two colored families over his store. The white people also claimed that they that the Cogillis would run a dive. Investigation by our reporters shows that the place is run on a high order by a Christian man and woman, who have put over $5,000 into the place and have met all requirements of the Building Department, the Fire Department and other city departments. They stated that their only reason for asking for a dance hall license was because, when they have banquets at the dance hall, they dance, it can be done legally, and that they do not plan to run a dance hall. After hearing the large number of white people, including the Democratic Alderman, McCann, whom a large number of colored people have supported, Commissioner Diamond gave Mr. Cogill a chance to talk. After listening to him he decided to reserve decision. A number of the white people that were present seemed surprised at this, if it appeared to them they had so presented their case Commissioner Diamond would decide in their favor.

Collects Barrels For Flood Sufferers Twenty-five barrels of clothing for flood sufferers made an imposing array as they stood on the sidewalk in front of the building enroute from the Y. W. G. A., where they had been collected, to the huge van sent by the American Railway Express Company to starm them on their journey to a land of desolation and suffering. The appeal went out several weeks ago and the response came immediately and generously; the clothes and shoes flowed in, many of them almost new. A great deal of this clothing came through the efforts of the Newspaper Women's Organization, who worked in co-operation with the branch. In addition to clothing a contribution of money, was made by the Pullman Porters' Benevolent Association on the occasion of a meeting at the Grace Congregational Church and in response to an appeal made by Mrs. Bessye Beardon, the chairman of the Newspaper Women's Committee. Before shipping the clothes, letters were sent to presidents of Negro schools and to other individuals in the flood districts asking for information concerning the needs of the colored people in the various communities and the facilities for distributing clothes among the colored sufferers. The replies to these letters have left no doubt of the need for the things sent. Barreis have been sent to J. B. Watson, baker, La.; J. A. Clark, Baton Rogue, La.; E. W. W. Vickersburg, Miss.; T. D. Alcorn, Memphis, Tenn.; and R. E. Malone, Pine Bluff, Ark. These men are serving on refuge relief committees in their communities. The barrels were packed by Mrs. Eva T. Parks, Mrs. W. H.

Attempt on to Get Grounds carry on until there was a better outlook for positive support by tennis followers and players to the proposition of grounds removed and maintained far from the environment of Harlem. President Hanson and his supporters completely routed this opposition and were given power to engineer and consummate a proposition for the purchase of permanent courts. The plans are highly commendable, if indeed bold at this time, due to the many difficult problems to be solved that will insure success, and if successful will mean the making of tennis in the Empire State. EIGHTEEN FAILS WHEN HITTERS FALTER (Continued from Page 10.) with out of the works, the general opinion on the outside was that the present edition of the Baltimore team would be robbed of fifty per cent of its strength, especially on the attack. However, Brother Ben's argument was that the team was sorely in need of a shake-up and that the team of operation and team work works make opponents out of a galaxy of star ball players that the aging Hoosier had the right dope on the matter and that his remedy has corrected the alliments of the Baltimore team is attested by the brand of ball the Sox are playing and the morale and team work that is in evidence. In Pearlie Johnson. Scrumpy Brown and Pete Washington Brother Ben has practically replaced the quartet of star players and to say that these youngsters are delivering the goods is putting it mildly. Then, too, the Black Sox pitchers, virtually the same squad that finished the season for Rosier's tribe, have come into their own and are supplying that potent punch on the defense that is ever essential to a winning ball club. With help from McClure and Force maintaining consistent winners, the Black Sox are already making preparations to nail down the first-half pennant at Baltimore.

In fact the boys from the Pennsylvania capital have been going, but in the wrong direction. Rated and acknowledged to have the most powerful club on the attack in the league, the Harrisburg clan has shown a complete reversal of form and slumped from the lead to a position near the bottom. Just what is taking the power from the bats of the Charleston-Beckwith combine is a matter that is causing no small amount of worry around capital hill. From the manner in which the fans have been turning out to see the league clubs perform in Richmond and Norfolk, the league made a ten strike when they hooked up with Babe Morris, the Richmond promoter to cover the southern territory. Morris has been taking care of about three days of each week in either Richmond or Norfolk and his manner of putting the league clubs before the public has made a decided hit with the fans. Then, too, the brand of ball that the clubs have been dishing out has quite eclipsed the style of play that the natives are accustomed to, and from all appearance the league games will become fixtures throughout the season. CRICKET One of the second games of the New York Cricket League was played on Sunday. June 12, between the Trinidad C. C. and the St. Kitts C. C. champions of the New York League.

Wednesday, June 15, 1927 Promiscuous Police Shootings Promiscuous Police Shootings ANOTHER STRAY bullet fired from a revolver held in the hand of a police officer found its mark Friday in the body of an innocent pedestrian, and again the victim is a woman. This makes four such shootings since the first of the year. WHILE CHASING two men who were believed to have stolen a quantity of lead pipe from a building, two patrolmen from the West Thirtieth street station accidentally shot and wounded a young woman who lived in Harlem. This was last February. The latter part of the same month a policeman from the West 135th street station, in shooting at a dog, accidentally shot and wounded a woman who was walking near the corner of 127th street and Seventh avenue. TWO WEEKS AGO stray bullets fired by policemen from the 135th street station, supposedly aimed at a prisoner who broke away from them near the police station, struck and wounded another woman. Friday's shooting was under similar circumstances, except for the fact that the prisoner ran out of the station house. TO OUR MIND, all four of these shootings were unnecessary and should not be tolerated by the Police Department. It would be much better to let thieves get away with a few pieces of lead pipe than to endanger the lives of innocent people. Equally uncalled for and unnecessary is it that a policeman should endanger the lives of pedestrians in an effort to kill a dog. BUT MOST NEGLIGENT of all four are the two most recent cases, caused by the attempt of prisoners already in custody to escape. We believe that a policeman or detective who permits a prisoner to escape once he has him in his custody has no business on the police force in the first place. A GUN is a dangerous weapon. It matters little whether or not it is held in the hand of an ordinary citizen licensed to carry it, a bandit, or a policeman. It is still dangerous. Its lawful use in this state is limited to the protection of life and property, and not to maim or kill innocent people. It is probably more dangerous when held in the hand of the robber or bandit, because the policeman has the law on his side and is supposed to know when and when not to pull the trigger. OSTENSIBLY, there are many policemen and detectives in Harlem, and elsewhere in the city, who do not know when nor how to use a gun and from these they should be taken away for the protection of themselves and the public. EDITORIAL PAGE An Object Lesson WITH THE FORMAL installation of Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson as president of Howard University last Friday we are reminded that it is now almost a year since the board of trustees of the school elected him to the office, and about nine months since he began the discharge of his duties at Howard as president, following the resignation of Dr. J. Stanley-Durkee. CONTRARY to the opinions voiced by weak-minded Negroes that Negroes were and are not ready for executive places of such vast importance. Howard University, under Dr. Johnson, has not lost one iota of its former standing and prestige as an educational institution. On the other hand, it appears to be enjoying its greatest renaissance. Even at that Dr. Johnson was not the Board's first choice for the place, so there must be several other men in the country who are capable of doing what he is doing, if given the opportunity. NEGROES here who assert that the time is not ripe for a Negro to lead the 369th Infantry, or be elected to the Congress of the United States, and that they must be led in all things by white people, should be able to glean something from the failure of Howard University to go back simply because a Negro was elected president of it. Dr. King Freed THE FREEING in the Federal Court at Atlanta of Dr. W. R. King, a white farmer of Oglethorpe County, Georgia, of charges of peonage, could hardly have been brought about by the evidence submitted in the case — or which could have been submitted — if those in authority had wanted to hear it. One witness testified that he "saw five colored men killed on the farm" before he escaped, and offered to "show anybody where they are buried." Such a statement alleges both peonage and murder. This Georgia farmer even admitted himself that he whipped his farm hands at will, and it is safe to infer that if he told that much about himself there was infinitely more which he either could have told or which could be told about him. EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES McAdoo and His Memory (From the Daily News.) William Gibbs McAdoo wants the Democratic party to nominate him for President next year. This is no news to a city which witnessed the Democratic convention of 1921 and the marshaling of various brands of fanatics which Mr. McAdoo allowed his backers to do at that long-drawn-out riot. McAdoo lately addressed a gathering in the far southern State of Georgia. He took upon himself a task which has stumped many a man as good as, if not better than, McAdoo. He tried to explain to his southern listeners how the prohibition law written in the Constitution fits in with the doctrine some hundreds of thousands of southerners fought or died for: state rights. Mr. McAdoo reasoned that these are rights and tried to explain the federal Government steps in and takes a certain right to itself, and enough states approve that action through their legislatures, that right becomes exclusively a Federal right and no state can complain. The next step in this logic, for a dry candidate speaking to sympathizers in a state which is notoriously dry and which notoriously hates the North, is a general damnation of northern wetness. Particularly, the next step is a witch's curse solemnly laid on the wringing wet and proud of it State of New York. Has not New York killed its state dry law, refused to have another one time and again, and even voted wet by a huge majority in a referendum which outrageously put the liquor question up to the people? There is a comeback to this line of argument. McAdoo forgot to mention it in his harangue to the Georgians; must have suffered a lapse of memory, or something. McAdoo forgot to mention the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution. These precede the Eighteenth by some fifty years. They are enacted to protect the rights of colored people in the newly formed Federal Government stepped in, after a bloody war, and took over the states' right to discipline against any class of citizens in the matter of the vote. Everybody knows the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are not enforced in the South, and that the Federal Government makes no attempt to enforce them. If the Federal Government should send Peter Salem at Bunker Hill June 17, 1775. white and colored people are involved; and their very claim that they 'know' and 'understand' the Negro indicates a fixed sys- ```markdown ``` white and colored people are involved; and their very claim that they know and 'understand' the Negro indicates a fixed system of ideas respecting whereas a nation that applauds the situation would involve the assimilation of new data." Peter Salem at Bunker Hill June 17, 1775. THE FIGHT Benjamin Brawley Doctor of Letters One of the features of commencement at Shaw University was the conferring for the first time of the degree of doctor of letters, this honor having been voted by trustees to Benjamin Brawley, editor of the new magazine, the Home Mission College Review. Benjamin Brawley is known to the public in the threefold capacity of minister, teacher and author. He has served as a pastor in Massachusetts and as professor of English at Morehouse, Howard and Shaw, his previous degrees being from Morehouse, Chicago and Harvard. His publications include: "A Social History of the American Negro," "American History of the American Negro," now in its revised edition; "A New Survey of English Literature," and "A Short History of the English Drama," which last publication is used as a text at Harvard. A call just issued by the National Equal Rights League, with headquarters in Boston, to celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, as "Salem Race Day" in honor of Peter Salem, an outstanding hero of this first regular battle for founding the U. S. A., and Salem Poor, mentioned for gallantry by the Colonial Assembly. The Home Mission College Review is a periodical that will represent the work of all the colleges of the American Baptist Home Mission Society and appears bi-monthly during the college year. The first number was issued in May. Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. Breaks Ground for Million-Dollar Home Carnival and Banquet at Harlem C. M. E.

INDIANAPOLIS. -- Perhaps the most inspiring sight ever witnessed in this city was the ground breaking last week for the new home of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. Eager eyes watched the mammoth steam shovel scoop out the first dirt to make way for a structure that will help in a no mean way toward hastening the coming of a new day for the Negro in this city and America. It is the culmination of the dream of the late Madam C. J. Walker, who in her life planned for this very event, which, but for her untimely death, would have been born in realized. The Rev. Mr. Bell has also organized the New York Christian institute at the same address, "a non-sectarian school providing for the spiritual, mental and physical training of the youth." The Rev. Mr. Bell received his D. degree at Tale and was conferred pre-eminent language at Lane College. The Rev. G. Emmoniel Carter, public school teacher from Illinois, and Mrs. Annna M. Perival, New York and South Carolina school teacher, are also instructors in the institute. Many observations and much study were made of the finest combination buildings throughout the country before the officials of the Walker Company decided the style and nature of building to be erected, this being prompted by their determination to do as the late Madam C. J. Walker desired, to give to the race the most modern plant for the manufacture of high class toilet preparations and to supply some of the existing local needs. Race Prejudice Abnormal, Says Magazine Writer Writing on "The Pathology of Race Prejudice" in the June number of the Forum Magazine, Edward Franklin Frazier points out the egro-complex" of white Southerners is closely alik to insanity. Art Students' Work Exhibited at Library He points out that "just as the lunatic seizes upon every fact to support his delusional system, the white man seizes myths and unfounded rumors to support his delusion about the Negro. The Negro is murder or instances showing the violence of irrational prejudice against the Negro, among them being the follower." An exhibit of the work of art students is being held at the West Side Museum. The name of the exhibitors and their contributions are as follows: The study they made served them well, for under their direction a most proficient architectural use is planned of the site, which runs 218 feet on Indiana avenue and 150 feet on West street, purchased in single parcels at a total cost of 568,000. "Some years ago a mulatto went to a small southern town to establish a school for Negroes. In order not to become persons non grata in the community, he approached the leading white residents for their approval of the enterprise. Upon his visit to one white woman he was invited into her parlor and treated with the usual courtesies shown disinterested, but when this discord later was colored, she chopped up the chair in which he had sat and, after pouring gasoline over the pieces, made a bonfire of them. The Walker building is to be a show building as well as adapted most efficiently to the company's needs. Like Villa Lowaro, quarter-million dollar New York mansion of the late Madam C. J. Walker and present country home of her heir and daughter, Madam A'Lella, it will contain the best that money can buy. The completed building is to be four stories in height, with basement, of reinforced concrete, steel, hydraulic pressed brick, terra cotta trimmed, enclosing a separate projects of storerooms, factory space, office space and an auditorium, all of which, when fully equipped, will cost a million dollars or more. The theatre has a capacity of 1,500. The members of the art committee, working in conjunction with the library to conduct this exhibit, are: Winfred J. Russell, chairman; Aaron Douglass, M. Gray Johnson and Ernestine Rose and Mrs. Catherine A. Latimer, representing the library. "From a practical viewpoint, insanity means social incapacity. Southern white people afflicted with the Negro-complex show themselves incapable of performing certain social functions. They are, for instance, incapable of rendering decision when social functions. It is the plan of the committee stance, incapable to make this exhibit of students' decisions when work an annual affair. thing as a mental decision based on reason or justice. marshals or troops south to enforce these amendments we should have another Civil War, or at least a guerrilla rebellion which would bump off many a marshal many a soldier. Of course, what Spinoza has said is not ipso facto the truth, but the consensus of opinion among philosophers and psychologists amply bears him out on this particular point. "Our intellects were given us to justify our desires," said a protound Frenchman whose name was Jacques Moulin, one of the fact that the basis of all our mental activity is emotion and that prejudice is the very breath of our mental life. What about enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment in the North, in New York? We don't like this law; two-thirds of us think it is a piece of legislative insanity. But we do not organize armed rebellion against Federal officers sent into New York to enforce this law. City roes so many people to the Federal Army. We are more law-abiding about liquor than Georgia is about colored people. To call it a sin, therefore, is like calling love a sin, or hunger, or any other of the fundamental forces that motivate us. Prejudice is not a sin; it is merely one of the inescapable limitations of human nature, and the more candidly we accept as such the better we shall be able to cone with it. There's an inconsistency here which McAdoo's memory, functioning in Georgia, somehow failed to recall. But there is also such a thing as overaccepting it. Among Catholic commentators on the candidacy of Al Smith we note a present disposition to deep pessimism. For example, in the June issue of "The Catholic World" appears an editorial which finds anti-Catholic bigotry rampant and trumpphant in the country. "No Catholic," it says, "Democrat or Republican, wet or dry, will be President, not yet." Prejudice (From The Herald Tribune.) Prejudice, says the Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick in his latest sermon, is the worst sin in the world; in which case this must be a very sinful world indeed. For the Standard Dictionary defines prejudice as a mental decision based on other grounds that reason fails to explain. Prejudice is the decision of the mind are nothing save desires, which vary according to various dispositions"; in other words, that there is really no such This may be a sound prediction, but its implication that he will not be President simply because he is not based on his opponents, a prejudice which willingly exaggerates the prejudice of his opponents. COURAGE THE Coffeyville riot brought out the courage of colored citizens; for real courage is shown, not when you are a member of the mob and have everything with you, but when you stand alone or with a small group and with the mob and the multitude, and potentially the courts and the rest of the state, against you. There was the colored coliceman, Anderson, who for some reason was left alone by the chief of police in the doorway of the jail to block the entrance of a mad mob by his single body and with his single gun. There was the colored merchant, Hunnigan, who, when the mob filled several streets and packed the block in front of his business and residence, went out and passed right through them to go into the city and tell the authorities to come out and move that mob from in front of his place before night or there might be trouble. And there were the colored men with shops and stores on the side of the town leading toward the colored section, who not only refused to let the mob sack and burn their stores, but when the would-be lynchers tried to pass these shops and get through to the Negro residential section to start fires, the colored business men stopped the mob with a salvo of bullets, which sent some to hospitals and at least two to "heaven." But the man to whom we are taking of our hat in this editorial is Lovett Liggins, former patrolman of Coffeyville, now a "merchant policeman" that is a plainclothes man whom the white merchants have hired to guard their business section at night and prevent the looting and raiding by bullets and aid to the police line from Oklahoma. Since Liggins has been on the job the raiders and robbers have been on vacation. smiling and congenial—makes you feel so safe. He even goes to church and passes the plate and takes up the collections for the preacher. He is past middle-age and of the build of the best Negro athletes; thin at the hips and broad and heavy through the shoulders, the lion's architecture—the kind of black man who made the Germans feel cold shivers down their spines when smiling and congenial-makes you feel so safe. He even goes to church and passes the plate and takes up the collections for the preacher. He is past middle-age and of the build of the best Negro athletes; thin at the hips and broad and heavy through the shoulders, the lion's architecture—the kind of black man who is always shoveling down their spines whenever they looked up and saw him dropping down into their trench with a bayonet on his gun. Well, Lovett Liggins stayed on the job while 2,000 wild mobbists, many of them from "Oliphony," with nitroglycerine in their pockets and moonshine in their guts, were infesting the streets of Coffeyville. And when he heard the shots of those Negro merchants, who had begun to set up powder-and-lead stop-signs to the mob which was rushing upon them in its endeavor to break through to the colored women and children. Liggins went right on down to the scene of action, facing the mob in the open street, while the sheriff of the county was looking down from a second-story window in the corner of the jail nearby. Now, when some of the well-known bullies and outlaws come over the line from Oklahoma to have a jook around Coffeyville, Kan., finding that they have happened in on the "shift" of Officer Lovett, they assure him. Well, since you are doing job D洛威t, going to going to raise any disturbance today?" They are so accommodating; to show that there is no hard feeling, they are going to behave like good boys, just to please Lovett Liggins. Another good suggestion for stopping some of this tearing down of jails and lynching of prisoners: JUST MIX IN A FREW MORE BLACK OFFICERS AMONG THEM OF THOSE BAD FELLOWS WILL BE ABLE TO GET INTO JAIL WITHOUT HAVING TO BREAK IN. Sixty of the mob rushed Liggins. He backed up against the wall of one of the shops, the sheriff still looking on as a very interested spectator. The black officer, with his back against the wall and "winkling" his six-shooter, said he was a law enforcement members of the mob: "Of course, I know I've got to go, but I will take along a few." Done at Coffeyville, Kan., Junq 1827. Bilal, a Negro. Helped Found Mohammedanism He did not have to "go," because nobody wanted to be "taken along." They left him as a bad proposition. Somebody even remarked that he should have attended to his own business," instead of meddling with this mob and interfering with its "business." And, "believe it or not," all the sheriff ever did about it was to summon Liggins to appear before the National Guard, so that the National Guard so that they could examine Liggins' gun and see if he had done any shooting. In an effort to find some ground for making a case against Liggins for imposing on this nice little mob! The June number of The Messenger Maxazine J. A. Rogers writes: "When the Christian Negro points with pride to St. Augustine, the Numidian Negro, and tells what he did to advance Christianity, the Mohammendan one can point to Bilal and tell what he did for Christianity's greatest rival. The Negro is, however, hardly likely to do so. Islam, not only in theory, but in actuality, knows no color line." This Bilal Ibn Rahab whom Mr. Rogers dubs the "Warrior-Priest" is described as "dark, gaunt, with Negro features and bushy hair." He was the only one of Mohamet's original followers did not recant when forgiven by the church for taking up the new religion. In the depths of anguish the persecutors could force from him but one expression, 'Ahad! Ahad!' (one, only one God!). A saw of the mob had actually got hurt and it seemed to be the chief duty of the authorities to punish the colored people who hurt that mob—even a black officer—if possible. And Lignis is just an ordinary, everyday black man, but with a personality that inspires you with respect for him without his having to say anything to you about it. As an officer, he is Poems submitted for publication in "The Poet's Corner" will not be returned unless accompanied with a self-address and stamped envelope.
