J.F. WILSON RE-ELECTED GRAND EXALTED RULER ELECTION EXTRA With I. B. P. O. E. News PRESENT RULER OF ELKS ROSE FROM HUMBLER RANKS J. Finley Wilson Has Been Bootblack, Miner and Reporter; Now an Editor—Has Already Served Five Terms. "I am a native of Tennessee. Came from the ranks—bellboy, newsboy, bootblack, hotel waiter, head waiter, cowboy, miner, newspaper reporter, editor, publisher, president of the Negro Press Association and was elected four times by acclamation." Thus is presented, in the very few words of the man himself, the rise of J. Finley Wilson. Elaborate as long as one might, write as much as one may no better introduction could be written of the remarkable man who has been five times elected grand exalted ruler of the Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order Elks of the World.

Riggs is the man who, together with the late B. F. Howard is credited with having originated the I. B. P. O. E. of W. From today on, the big interest in the present session of the Elks will be the election of grand exalted ruler. Wilson will attempt for the sixth time to be elected head of the order. He will meet vigorous opposition; but the big thing is the wonder in the minds of thousands how the man could have already been elected to head the powerful I. B. P. O. E. of W five times, a thing unprecedented. It was in Norfolk, when Dr. James E. Mills was grand exalted ruler, that Wilson first took an interest in Elkdom. Not until 1803 did he become active, when he allied himself with Mountain Lodge of Denver and later with Parker Lodge, No. 24, of Pueblo, Colorado. Using Mr. Wilson's figure, there were about 9,000 Daughter Elks in the order when he was elected for the first time and about 35,000 Elks. Thore was $30,000 in the treasury. Today there are more than 50,000 Daughter Elks and over 100,000 men in the order. The grand lodge treasury now holds about $100,000. There is no question that the doughty little grand exalted ruler has done remarkable work organizing new lodges throughout the country as well as in other countries. How he does it, how he maintains friendships among all manners of men might well be traced back to the man's early history and the frankness in which he gives it out for publication. Any man who can begin with such an humble start in life and rise to the place now held by J. Finley Wilson does pay credit, regardless of how much one may differ with his principles or his methods.

HARRIS Mr. Sixto is here after attending the Pan-African Congress, at which he made an outstanding speech. He is in his sixties, is of commanding presence. He is a linguist. His five grown children live in this country. He picked up his education informally and has written several books. He represented the Virgin Islands at a conference with President Harding and at the Sesquicentennial last year. "I am here," he said, "to open markets for the wonderful products of the Virgin Islands—fruits, mahogany and hardwood, bay rum and mica. We have the resources; all we need is capital. The islands are a fruitful field for American Negro capital. Just now they are suffering from dry rot." Mr. Sixto said the islands are a fine place for homesteading, as rich soil may be had for ten dollars an acre. The three islands are about 160,000 square miles in area, with a population of 25,000, of which only one-eighth are white. On the whole, he said, the American Government is doing well. The schools are improving, sanitation is good, the courts are fair and the government is spending $150,000 to repair the roads and facilitate industry. Living is cheap, accommodations are good, and there are three steamers each week from New York. He described his home as "emerald isles in a turquoise sea." Third Rail Kills Child Joseph Fullard, 10 years old, of 309 Lexington avenue, Brooklyn, was killed to-day when he touched the third rail while playing on the elevated railroad tracks at Nostrand and Lexington avenues.

NEW YORK, FRIDAY, AUG. 26, 1927 Arthur Boatswain, 28, 119 West 137th street, popular law student at New York University, died at Harlem Hospital at nine o'clock yesterday morning, after suffering intensely for many hours, following a ruptured appendix. Boatswain was a graduate of Howard University and had studied for over three years at New York University Law School. He was a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. Funeral services over his remains will be held tomorrow night at Howell's Funeral Church, Seventh avenue and 137th street. The Rev, Winifred S. Kimon, of St. Joseph's African Church, will officiate. Burial services will take place at the funeral parlors Sunday morning at ten o'clock, and the interment will be at St. Michael's Cemetery. MANYWOULD LIKE TO HAVE SEEN WIBECAN ELECTED Brooklynite Served but One Term as Grand Exalted Ruler of Elks, but Inaugurated Many Progressive Programs. That George E. Wibecan, the man whom J. Finley Wilson succeeded as grand exalted ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., should have had another opportunity to demonstrate his ability as head of the order was the conviction of thousands of members of the order. GENERAL NEWS BULLETIN Train Scares Robbers Away From Station Yesterday Anthony Markes, change agent at the elevated station at 155th street and Eighth avenue, was busy in his booth when two men approached him. One of them, posing as a company employee, induced Markes to let him into the booth, and as soon as he got in, he struck Marks in the head with a blackjack several times, knocking him unconscious. They were about to seize the money in the booth when the approach of a train scared them away. They have not been caught yet. Marks, who is thirty-one and lives at 135 West 112th street, was taken to Columbus Hospital, suffering from a possible fracture of the skull.

Friday—Miss Florence Anderson. American school teacher of Pomona, Calif. Wibecan had but one term, having been elected in Boston in 1921, and defeated in Newark in 1922. At the time of his election the law limited the grand exalted ruler to but one term, but that law was changed in Newark, in order that Mr. Wibecan might have another opportunity to carry on the excellent work he had started during his first term. But, due to an unfortunate circumstance, he was not elected at Newark, and since then his successor has retained the office at each convention. The Brooklynite is credited with having inaugurated the educational program of the Elks, now one of the strongest features of Elkdom and a feature that the Wilson forces stress. To Wibecan also goes credit for the foreign expansion, he having first designated Dr. Solomon Porter Hood, district deputy of Liberia.

Vanzetti to Arrive Monday BOSTON, Friday--The ashes of Sacco and Vanzetti will arrive in New York Monday, and the urn containing the dust of the anarchists will be exhibited at a memorial meeting early next week. All Opposition Is Crushed by Steam Roller Once again the forces behind J. Finley Wilson trotted out the old steam roller, perfectly oiled and greased, and last night the remarkable little man, who has repeatedly beat some of the country's brainiest and best-known men for the office of grand exalted ruler of the improved, Benevolent, Protective Order, Elks of the World, was re-elected for the sixth consecutive term. The writer has seen Finley Wilson elected on each occasion since his first time in Newark in 1922, but never has he seen such a perfect working of the machine as was exhibited in Mother Zion Church last night. The opposition never had a chance, nor did those who wished to further the cause of the men who sought to wrest Wilson's crown get a chance. Like the sun drives away the mist, so did the Wilson forces dissipate all opposition. Arrested While Attending Funeral Roommate of Woman Burned to Death Held on Suspicion. NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 25.—Suspicion fell darkly over the funeral services Wednesday of Mrs. Rebecca Johnson. 23, 906 Chapel street, when Detective Nowitzky arrested Mrs. Victoria Roberts, roommate of the deceased, who was assisting in the ceremony. The death of Mrs. Johnson had been accepted as accidental, having burned to death when she stumbled and knocked over a lamp which exploded and ignited her clothes, Mrs. Roberts, the only witness to the tragedy, declared. Ugly rumors were circulating about town relative to the accident, and large crowds gathered around the home of the burned woman as she lay in state. A strong clamor about the home while the funeral services were being conducted there. Anonymous letters were sent to police and local papers asking an investigation, and stating that the theory of an accidental death was an alibi of the only woman who was present at the happening. Some people have expressed the belief that the women, living alone over a garage, were affinities and possibly entered an altercation over some disagreement. Detective Leon Nowitzky traced these rumors and among other things found that the lamp supposed to have fallen and exploded had not been broken but remained on the hall table. This, together with other clues, led to the arrest of Mrs. Roberts yesterday at the funeral. She asked to accompany the body to Calvary Cemetery and was escorted by the detective who placed her under arrest after the interment and lodged her in the city jail. A coroner's jury will investigate the case next Tuesday morning in Corporation Court. The burning occurred last Thursday evening when it is stated by the accused woman she requested the other to put out the lamp in the hall. In going toward the lamp she stumbled, knocked it over and spilled oil on her clothes, which caught fire.

Taking in the situation at a glance, Wibecan declined; McMechen, also noting the handwriting on the wall, got out and Steele and Wilson went to the bat.

Today's News Index Editorials Special Articles General, Local and National News 1 to 8 News of Society and Women's Activities Sports Classified Section Financial and Miscellaneous Music and the Drama OGDEN MUSIC ASS'N PRIZES AWARDED National Contest Entered by Over Two Hundred Composers test Announced. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 25 (Special).—An important feature of the annual Artists' Concert tonight of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc., which is holding its annual convention in this city, was the announcement of the prize winners in the contest for colored composers. The prizes aggregated $1,000 in cash and they were offered by Rodman Wanamaker of Philadelphia through the Robert Curtis Ogden Association of the Philadelphia Store, an organization composed of the Negro employees of that store and organized for educational and recreational purposes. At the time for the intermission in the middle of the concert Carl Diton of Philadelphia, president of the National Association of Negro Musicians, introduced John Love, president of the Robert Curtis Ogden Association, who spoke briefly and in turn introduced Mr. Chas, Landsidel, who was present as the official representative of the Wanamaker Store and who made the announcement of the prize winners and the compositions. Mr. Winnamaker had divided his prize offer, which was announced at last year's convention, held in Philadelphia, into five classes. Five prizes were offered in each class as follows: First prize, $100; second prize, $50; third prize, $25; fourth prize, $15; and fifth prize, $10. The classifications were: A Hymn of Freedom, for chorus; a Love Song, for either voice or instrument; A Lullaby; "Prestidiguation"; and Melodies and Synchronous Effects. The latitude given the composer was very wide both as to classification and as to the manner in which he might express his musical thoughts. The judges of the competition were Harry T. Burleigh, the celebrated Negro composer and baritone; Charles M. Coubroun, official organist of the John Wanamaker Store in Philadelphia; Carl Diton, president of the National Association of Negro Musicians; Samuel L. Lacier, music editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and Clarence Cameron White, director of the Department of Music of the University of West Virginia. The judges met last June in the Wanamaker Store and examined with great care the compositions submitted. The competition aroused great interest among colored composers all over the United States. The National Association of Negro Musicians assisted in promoting the contest, using the machinery of the organization to bring the conditions of the contest before their own members and that of other members of the race not affiliated with the organization. The result was very gratifying and more than 200 compositions were sent in to the Robert Curtis Ogden Association, under the auspices of which the competition was carried out. The Prize Winners. The successful contestants in each class, together with the works which won the individual prize, were as follows: prize, here. Class 1—A Hymn of Freedom, first prize, Wellington Adams, 1000 Encil street, N. W., Washington, D. C.

C.; fourth prize, Wellington Adams, 1000 Encil avenue, Washington, D. C. Class 4—"Prestidigitation." As the name indicates, the works in this classification were to be of a very rapid tempo, instrumental in character and with almost unlimited liberty in the choice of instruments. This class brought out several remarkable works, mostly of a scherzo-like character and for a large number of instruments. The judges decided to award three second prozes of $50 each in this classification. The winners are: First prize, Maude Odelte Bonner, S Howland street, Roxbury, Mass.; second prize, J. Howard Brown, $35 Nebraska avenue, Kansas City, Kan.; second prize, Richard Oliver, 1159 Fourteenth street, Des Molines, Iowa; second prize, Fred O.

It was further announced at the convention that Mr. Wanamaker will offer prizes next season to be competed for again by composers of the Negro race. The details will be given out in ample time for musicians to take part in the contest. TWO The Prize Winners. 30,000 Less Men at Work in Detroit DETROIT, Aug. 24.—Influx of hundreds of job seekers into Detroit during the past few months has brought a warning from Eugene J. Brook of the state labor commission, Employment agencies are crowded and other employment offices report hundreds seeking positions in the city. The reopening of the Ford Motor Co. plant, for production work on the new car and the general spread of a rumor that the Ford industries would hire several thousand new workmen led in part to the influx of unemployed, according to reports. A report that employment was on the increase in Detroit also aided to bring the title of immigration here to a higher level, the employers' association of Detroit reports. Industrial employment in Detroit during the latter part of July numbered 199,593, according to reports from the employers' association. This was an increase, but it was accounted for by the many reopenings after inventory in industrial offices. Approximately 30,000 less men are at work than a year ago, the association reports. Caught With Cocaine. Man and Woman Held Sammie Hawkins, 20, 472 Lenox avenue, was sent to the Tombs Prison yesterday to await trial in the Court of Special Sessions on a charge of possessing cocaine. Magistrate Flood, sitting in Heights Court, reduced the ball from $10,000 to $500. Hawkins was arrested by Patrolman Chilsholm of the West 135th Street Station, at his home, on the afternoon of Aug. 16. Chilsholm testified that he saw Hawkins pass a package to one Florence Scott, now under arrest on a similar charge. Taking the package from the Scott woman, he found that it contained what he believed to be a narcotic. The pair were placed under arrest. Subsequent analysis of the substance by City Chemist Edward J. Kelly proved it to be cocaine. Both Miss Scott and Hawkins now await trial in Special Sessions.

Ilis report was a voluminous one and covered fifty-five pages of typewritten matter, .

H, Shinn Tells of Agricultural Schools and .'“' Their Benefits. One of the principal evidences ot the Improvement {s found in the general attitude among the whites of the South toward the improve- ment of eduéational opportunities tor Negroes, Dr. E. H, Shinn, chief specialist {n Agricultural Edu- cation, United States Department of Agriculture, told the National Association of Téachers in Col- ered Schools, meeting In Nashville July 28. . “Effective education of the Ne- groes of the South Is essential to the welfare of the South, as well as to the Nation." said Doctor Shinn, who explained that his in- terest in hig subject was sus tained by the fact that he was born and reared on a farm in the South, where he enjoyed many of the numerous advantages and shared in some of the disadvantages which existed In an average rural community, “The education of two distinct races so they may properly adjust thetiselves to the social and eco- nomic conditions in a democracy involves more than the instruction ordinarily offered in our schools and colleges. The active enliat- ment, of all agencies, both in the schools and out, working for the educational, economic and. social conditions in the South {s_neces- sary to establish racial relation on a satisfactory basis. No greater ‘Problem facing the nation today offers such a supreme challenge to our democratic ideals as that of making a Wise social adjustment of the hopes and sspirations of the Negro and the {deals, traditions and atandards of the white popula- tion of the Southern States.” Doctor Shinn believes the Nagro and white people are understand- ing each other better, that leaders ofboth races are co-operating, and that development of agricultural education, in particular, ‘is making a, worthwhile contribution toward Improved relations. Negro agri- cultural colleges, the Smith-Hughes yocational schools, and the ‘exten- sion service are the three agencies primarily engnged in agricultyral education. The work of the three is faterrelated, 7 Each of the Southern. : States has.an agricultural college for Ne- gro students, which with Hampton and Tuskegee, Normal and Indus- trial: Institutes, render valuable service in training teachers and other leaders, In the past, the quality of instruction in the Negro colleges has been hampered ‘by financial weakness, but is now im- proving, The Smith-Hushes schools have helped the colleges, as has. the extension work in agriculture, in creating desirable. openings for students as teachers and leaders, The number of federalty aided all- day Negro agricultural schools: has increased from 89 -In- 1917-18 to 254 in 1924-25 and the enrollment from 1,025 to 6,374, but this represents only a fraction over 4 per cent of the 146,000 Negro farm boys be- tween the ages of 14 and 20 at- tending school, Tho first Negro extension agent {n the South was appointed in 1904. In 1923 the number, had Brown to 294, and the work {s as- sisted by white extension agents in the territory, a co-operation “which is exerting considerable Influence in problems of ractal: ad- | justment.” The demonstrations are planned for simplicity and lo- cal interest and seek to carry the lessons to Negro farmers and their tamilles, “to inatruct them in bet: | ter-farm practices, to help them In- crease their earning power, and to improve their homes and living conditions,” Jn 1926, 32,000 Negro NEW: YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, -FRIDAY, AUG. 26, 1927 They Save Humanity ae RE Sa eo ee ae Ae Ci 228 “Ra Aye Reece eee i es et rn RA eeceweee ee oe pees 4 oes Rae: Cee ren Er ee aN pe uaeed SS a es ca 2 ON eer, bf ee) ae ae - oem pe Pear ae 4 of pe Ha F Pi aaa. es cg i me mesg 4 ‘ “s pees : py ae Oe!

Henry W. Anderson of Richmond, former Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia, tried to read the Southern Negro out of the Republican party and every other party in a recent address. Speaking at the Institute of Public Affairs at Charlottesville, Va., in an effort to break "the solid South," he said of the Negroes of the South: They have realized that their future is not in politics and that political agitation of the race problem only reacts to their injury. They have thus abandoned any thought of control of political agencies and are devoting themselves to the task of improving their social and economic status and of building within the communities of which they are a part their own separate social, economic and religious organizations. This attitude and these efforts are receiving the sympathy and active support of the white people of the South. This is the old, familiar voice of "Lily White" Republicanism. Time after time the Republicans of the South, and some of the North, have tried to break "the solid South" by truckling to the Southern attitude toward the Negro, and each time they have failed. This effort, too, presuming to tell the Southern whites what the Negro is thinking about, will fail. Democrats they are and Democrats they will remain. To them the Republicans are the party that took their slaves away, that devastated Georgia, that sent the carpetbaggers among them. In the second and more important place, Mr. Anderson was wrong when he said that the Negroes have realized that their future is not in politics and that they have abandoned all thought of controlling political agencies. Their future is just as much in politics as is that of any other group of citizens, and they will seek control of such political agencies as affect their future. America would have been a British colony to this day if the men of the Revolution had abandoned politics. The Stamp Act and the tea tax were insignificant in themselves; the colonists would have cheerfully paid the few cents extra duty if it had been imposed by their own provincial assemblies. But they objected to the principle of the thing; they refused to shoulder the duties of Englishmen without the full rights of Englishmen. They knew their social and economic structure was not really theirs unless they had a part in the government. And government means politics. The Southern whites know this full well. They have long held, a disproportionate power in the affairs of this country, not by their wealth, but by their politics. The "solid South" is a factor to be reckoned with by every President and every candidate for the Presidency. If Negroes give up politics they will lose the greatest weapon of free men in a republic. Five-Dollar Divorces. Judge David of Chicago, less divorce cases, suggests reduced to five dollars. "We fraudulent divorces?" he ask fifty cases a day. He can't. It looks as if the judge is work, but if his suggestion would be more crowded the only five dollars it would be work of the courts would be the divorced couples would. Things would be as they when it was nothing for a bands a year and some chap is said that Julius Caesar was times before he was eighteen only to say that he was tiled given a divorce.

"A judge he a day. He can't investigate all of it as if the judge is trying to save him if his suggestion were adopted more crowded than ever. If a dollar it would be a lark, and no courts would be wasted, because couples would remarry the next would be as they were in the day was nothing for a woman to haveear and some changed them every Julius Caesar was married and there he was eighteen years old. Ay that he was tired of his wife a divorce. Paulus Emilius, when ask the rid of his charming wife, said there the shoe pinches but him that is divorce. Downfall of Rome has been blamed with the Gothic invasions to malaria, possible to add to the causes the wretie. When no one cares whether either or not, it is a short step to the State holds together or not. Judge David of Chicago, who has presided over countless divorce cases, suggests that the price of divorce be reduced to five dollars. "Why gum up, the courts with fraudulent divorces?" he asks. "A judge hears forty to fifty cases a day. He can't investigate all of them." It looks as if the judge is trying to save himself some work, but if his suggestion were adopted the courts would be more crowded than ever. If a divorce cost only five dollars it would be a lark, and much of the work of the courts would be wasted, because many of the divorced couples would remarry the next week. Things would be as they were in the days of Rome, when it was nothing for a woman to have four husbands a year and some changed them every month. It is said that Julius Caesar was married and divorced four times before he was eighteen years old. A man had only to say that he was tired of his wife and he was given a divorce. Paulus Emilius, when asked why he wished to be rid of his charming wife, said: "No one can tell where the shoe pinches but him that wears it." He got his divorce. The downfall of Rome has been blamed on everything from the Gothic invasions to malaria, so it is, perhaps, permissible to add to the causes the weakening of the family tie. When no one cares whether the family holds together or not, it is a short step to not caring whether the State holds together or not.

Schuyler WILL live in New York? That is the question most often asked of New Yorkers by visitors from other cities. They point to the congestion existing, the perils of traffic dodging, the necessity of paying carfare to go everywhere, the high rents and the absence of front lawns and gardens, and quite properly they wish to know whether there are not other places just as good as the big metropolis, or better. Other than the city, the largest city in the New World, say they, there is no especial advantage in residing in Gotham, this Grand Canyon of bricks, asphalt and steel. What they maintain in this connection is largely correct. It is quite true that there is less congestion in Clarksdale, Miss., than exists in our Harlem. It is true that one doesn't spend the day dodging taxicabs in Mariana, Ark.; Wichita, Kansas, or Columbia, S. C., as one does when attempting to attain the sidewalks of New York. It is true that there are more front lawns and gardens in Florence, Ala.; Oswego, N. Y., and Montgomery, Ala., than one can find the boroughs of Kings, Queen Elizabeth Island, Kalamazoo, Richmond. And it is also very true that one pays out more carfare on the Isle of Manhattan than is the case in Kalamazoo, Mich., or Dubuque, low. But, my dear friends, it is decidedly wrong to assert that these things being absent there is no advantage to be gained from residence in the Big Town. Insofar as the ordinary Henry Dubb on the street is concerned, there is no advantage in living in New York. He can play just as much whist, poker, pinchole and five up in Ardmore, Okla., or Pueblo, Colo., as he can in Gotham, and he can see precisely the same moving pictures in Jefferson City, Mo., or in Knoxville, Tenn., that he raves over in dear Ola N.Yawk. There are also fraternal organizations and social groups in Green, Ky., and Wheeling, W. Va., that do quite as splendidly as do the uniformed hosts in Manhattan. Thus, to the ordinary fellow whose tastes, diversions and intelligence are on a low plane, there is little or no advantage in establishing residence in the nation's metropolis. For the exceptional individual, however—the individual who is in revolt against militant mediocrity, hypocritical morality, and the Rotarian level of culture—there are few places to equal New York in the United States, and none that excel it. Indeed, one might go further and say that New York is unique in these United States. Here the individual who doesn't want his prizeful life and commanded upon him, critical neighbors is at that comparatively free to do pretty much as he chooses. The man or woman who is sick of imbecile motion pictures and thrills for the real drama, can find it here in abundance. If one years for something, better to drink than atrocious corn liquor and Jamaica ginger cocktail, one finds here the supply of good liquor quite plentiful and readily available to those who are "in the know." Should a person favor the type of art that displayed in the rottograve sections of the Sunday papers, in New York he finds scores of galleries where the work of the best painters and etchers, ancient and modern, are on display. The percentage of intelligent people being a microscopic minority in every place, including New York, it is obvious that in order to associate entirely with intelligent people socially one must live in a place where the population is huge. New York is such a place. Here the percentage of civilized people is no larger than elsewhere, but the actum socium is larger. Hence, on associate entirely with civilized folk and koop away from morons and subnormales completely. And this, coupled with the great racists and lectures on top is what makes civilized people stay here. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: For some time it has been my intention to write and say how much I enjoy reading your paper each week, although it is not all I would have in a paper I read. When I say this I will make a comparison to show exactly what I mean. The New York World was the paper I read daily, and I enjoyed everything in it, from the editorials and news viewpoints to the features, until Heywood Brown recently refused to write, and various other writers have tried to fill his place. I find in The Amsterdam News the following things: Most enjoyable of all are your editorials and the page of racial notes, for both are to me what they should be, but are not in most Negro newspapers catering to a local population; the feature articles are to me about as rotten and provincial as those in most Southern papers, using press service stuff to fill space; your news reports lack interest most of the time, for like most Negro Intimate Glimpses of Harlem RUNNING true to form the community is a jazzy one. From morning till all hours of the night and day the crooning sounds of the victrola, the thumping dum-ta-zum of the pianola, and the weird scraping noise from the string' instruments are to be heard from the first to the top floors of flats. Upon the streets boys and girls stroll along strumming the "uke," as the miniature guitar is called. Small crowds may be observed at stoop entrances to homes, loudly clapping hands in four-fourths time, patting feet and yelling in perfect musi-time—"Hey! Hey!" At Deal street, as the section comprising the lower Thrifles is called, "Charleston" contests are held on Saturday evening during the summer months, and the police officers on the beat have learned from painful experience that this sort of undertaking. King Cotton ADVANCING $15 a bale since the publication of the Government's estimate of the 13,492,000 acres, the value of the 1927 cotton crop has risen more than $20,000,000 and, with prices of the staple product at new high levels for the season, predictions are being made that cotton will be pushed to 23 cents a pound should the Government's figures prove correct, which is more than likely. This prophecy forecasts a tremendous and unlooked for prosperity in the cotton belt, the cotton farmers piling to wealth hand over fist. Does away with the fear of some months ago from India and other foreign countries might engage in harmful competition with the southern cotton states. The southern cotton farmers have always been subject to a number of contingencies affecting the cotton market, which have more than once brought him fear. There has been one factor in the cotton enterprise as to which he has felt safe and sure year in and year out; and that is the availability of the Negro cotton worker, at whatever wage the cotton operator wished to pay. But, lo and behold, the producer of cotton, the output of the hands of Negro labor, now faces a "windfall". What "will" he be the surplus profit will be purchase with the surplus machinery by leasing the hours of the work day and increasing the pay of the faithful workers. Will he share this tremendous profit with his Negro workers by increasing public appropriations for Negro schools, hospitals, recreation grounds, and other public utilities with which the Negro would become more happy and more contented? Will the cotton farmers, who control the southern banking and currency systems, ease up on the interest rates which papers, you use big headlines with no substance. But all of what I have said above is partly beside the point, for this letter is to give how much I am enjoying your daily. It has often been a wonder to me why a Negro city like Harlem and most other large Negro populations cannot support a daily paper. Your daily is a delight to me, and should be to anyone, for each day I can read the following interesting features: "The Soap Box" by George Schuyler, my favorite Negro columnist, and it is something worth reading instead of some rot on Harriet Beecher Stoll's stuff by Kelly Miller; "About Books," with Aubrey Bower reviewing, is something a great deal more refreshing than that press service stuff by Mary White Owington; the feature I find the most valuable and the one I hope will remain in your weekly is Mimie Brown's column "Among Noted Musicians," which is as delightful to read as it is educational; the reports on the African Convention on Peace are very interesting and your editors and the social notes have their usual interest. The one valuable thing your paper lacks is a good cartoonist, for there is nothing finer than a well drawn and expressive cartoon to add interest and convey an editorial message. I have often wondered why a paper of your high standing is without a cartoonist, with the many capable artists and art students here in Harlem who would gladly serve you for small compensation, in order to gain some recognition. Thanking you for your attention, and wishing you always the finest of success, I remain. Truly yours. (Signal E. E. G. PERRY, New York City, Aug 24, 1927) OPPORTUNITY Countie Cullen, Asst.

GREY however much of a nuisance it might be, must be permitted. Every night is a gala night in Harlem; the phenomenal "Parlor Social" helps to pay the rents but plays havoc with the morals of the participants and the rests of other residents who wish to sleep. Every night is parlor social night, but Saturday and Sunday nights are the gala jubilee nights when the booth joints sell out their stock and the landlord is happy, being thereby assured of his rent. Because of these parlor social nights the police and the Harlem Hospital have effected special arrangements to take care of the slashed and wounded and to arrest those whose bloodfirstness caused the blood to flow. Cabareters are going in full swing from night until dawn and the bright lights which shine from their front entrances are signals, for those who would taste the real essentials of Harlem amusements. Automobiles of all sorts drive up before the doors of these places and empty their human loads into the basements—for nearly all cabareters in Harlem are in basements. Well "sharks" are exacting from Negro farm operators and agricultural workers? Will this cotton wealth be used to make Dixieland a better place for all the people to live in? If so, next year's cotton surplus will be greater than that of this year. If not the southern cotton farmer will soon again drift back into an atmosphere of fear and apprehension. Let him take his choice. Hidden Aspects of Negro Migration. Now that the Negro migrant from Georgia, Florida, and points South has become accustomed; now that he is familiar with the revolutions of ordinary urban life in New York, Chicago and Detroit, with their mixed schools, the privilege of swinging on a street car or a railway coach from either end, and of standing with equal poise and advantage in the payroll line of factory and mill, what are the migrant's inner reactions, as compared with his brother who has long since resided in the "Norf" and consequently has not undergone any special transformation or adaptation in connection with northern social standards? From an unblased viewpoint, a fraction six-six and two-thirds part of the newcomers from Dixie, when among their kinsmen of the North, seem to have assumed either a sensitive ego aspect, or one of criticism in their personal estimates of their brethren of the North and their social and political environment. One migrant, just three months out of Columbia, S. C. who sld his feet, for the first time, upon a comfortable sector of a Harlem brass rail emporium, which was crowded nightly with both whites and blacks, "walled off" the area, not holding unusual about the event. Hadn't he sipped a glass of wine once with "Colonel" so-and-so, who could buy the whole City of New York, and then have plenty of money left. Another migrant, an "engineer" from Birmingham, who had been in charge of a donkey engine gang in Alabama, was sure that there was just as much prejudice in New York as there was in "Burnin'ham." "No," he replied, when canvassing for a job, he "didn't bring his license with him; didn't have any, in fact; didn't need that thing down home." "I rather have my children among their own people," mused a Tennessee matron. "These white folks up here don't have the same kind of interest they have in Tennessee," she concluded. Dixie's "four hundred" "migrants, of course, have the same vision upon a higher scale. To be sure, they like the North fairly well, but expect to return home as soon as they have finished making the supreme sacrifice of service. They're in New York, where it gives it the benefit of their broad and the rhetoric understanding of the race's needs; to show the dormant northerners how to make use of their opportunities; to put brains and initiative into dressed and be believed white men and women are seen entering these cabarets, and at dawn, just before their colored mids have turned over for their final morning naps, they hurry to their homes, drunk and well amused. These cabarets do not cater to colored folk. Not so long ago, one of the lady writers of the Negro press was refused admission to one of these sacred places. She protested, but to no avail. The majority of these cabaret owners do not go so far as to deny admission to the residents of the community, but they give instructions to their colored help to treat colored patrons in such a way as to discourage them from frequenting the cabarets. A few of these amusement places are owned or directed by colored men, but the majority of the patronage is received from white persons, just the same, and they too are not overflowing with desire for any colored patronage. The actual population which walks the streets of Harlem all night long is far greater in proportion than the number of night hawkers in any other community in the United States. Wonderful Trait By DRUSILLA D Wonderful Traits of the African Wonderful Traits of the African By DRUSILLA DUNJEE HOUSTON a. (For the Associated Sergio Press.) There have been so many agitations that we go back to Africa, that it were well if we really informed ourselves about Africa and its native nations, that the credulous among us not be imposed upon again. If we wanted to go to Africa we would find no place where we would be welcome excepting Liberia, for the Aryan nations seized and partitioned Africa long ago. They would consider us as bad material to spread propaganda among the native peoples. There have been so many Africa, that it were well if about Africa and its native among us not be imposed to go to Africa we would find welcome excepting Liberia, and partitioned Africa long as as had material to spread peoples. Again among the unrulined tribes there is scorn toward us. They would not look upon us as superiors but as people who submitted to chains when they would not have done so. They were African tribes who would drown on guitars themselves rather than guitars to slavery. Of course, these Africans suppose that their fathers were too of this calibre. These people do not feel that there is so much that we can teach them. In crafts and in conduct they surpass the average Aframerican. You may enter an African assembly and there you will find the greatest deference to their elders. Such a thing as for one to enter a thing unknown. So the unseemly confusion of our gatherings must have been learned from Aryans. There is no whispering or turning around but quiet intentiveness to the speaker. If this be true, it is quite natural that they would not feel inferior to people whom they surpass or ordinary matters of behavior. Africans have simpler codes of laws than our nations but they are very effective. Old African books of laws are astounding for their ingenuity in getting results. In our civilization the criminal laughs a law, the criminal accuses a law are caught and even less punished. In Africa the magistrate and the criminal's family are held responsible that he be brought to the bar and the punishment is swift and certain. The tribes frown on prolonged litigation. numbskulls; and to interpret to northern whites (who do not and could not know) the heart and soul of the colored race, there is something of the "Sour" of the decade of intense transformation. So much, in fact, that it just can't be forgotten. Pen Pointers By Clifford L. Miller. One form of social bankruptcy is to take a vacation and slip back into your home town an Elmer Gantry.

By Honore Willisle Morrow. (William Morrow and Company. $2.50.) Five or six years ago we were wondering why Americans, with all their adoration of Abraham Lincoln, had written no great literary works about him. Hay's and Nicolay's life of him was regarded as good documentary work, as a source-book rather than literature. John Drinkwater, the Englishman, wrote a successful play about Lincoln, and this play was based on the widely praised life of Lincoln written by another Englishman, Lord Charnwood. It was said that Americans were too close to Lincoln to see him in his true proportions. All this was more gush than truth. We fall to see where Drinkwater's "Lincoln" is a great play; the public raved about it because an Englishman wrote it. Certainly the best novel we ever read about Lincoln is "Forever Free." The title is taken from a phrase used by Lincoln in the Emancipation Proclamation. Nowhere have we seen a better picture of Lincoln in his most troubled years. The emptiness to deal with Lincoln is far from whole, with his backwoods boyhood and youth, rail-spitting, wrestling, Ann Rutledge, the debate with Douglas and so forth. Very wisely, too, she cuts off the novel two years before Lincoln's death. Much of the power of her novel is due to its being narrowed down to the two years 1861-1863, the most critical of Lincoln's life. Drinkwater's character, because it covers too much ground, with a consequent scattering effect. "Forever Free" has an intensive effect. There are startling things in this book, even for those who think they know a good deal about Lincoln and Civil War times. For instance, there is the affair of McClellan. That general has always been censured for slowness; this book makes him out a deliberate traitor to his country.

The lungs is not the only thing, immination, and complete body necessary for a thorough extend the lodge must expect to and commensurate fee for This is especially so with important and large organizations such as Elks, Old Fellows and Masons. In the past, Negro fraternal organizations desired only to pay the sick and bury the dead. That was the only program. The treasury was sufficient to do this. Today; on the other hand, Negro fraternal organizations have a more extensive program. There is thought now of community interests, welfare work, social improvements, emergency help in disasters, institutional endowments and educational scholarships. This is the program of the wide awake organization. The Elks, now holding their convention, in a typical example of modern Negro fraternal organization, it requires large surplus funds to do this social, welfare and philanthropic work. Excessive sick and death rate depletes the treasury and prevents the proclamation of the large program. A healthy, active membership is the prime necessity for large surplus funds. The lodge examining doctor admits only healthy candidates, by a careful, thorough and scientific examination, and thus prevents an excessively high sick and mortality rate. Lodges. Like insurance companies, should pay more attention to the ability and honesty of the examining physician. Routine physical examination, specified in official medical blanks and subject to investigation by a chief medical examiner of the lodge or organization, is the only way to bring about efficiency of the examiner, and protection of lodge. Homely Philosophy BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON DON'T rush through life too fast to be grateful. Did some one bleed and die for you? Don't forget it. Did some one do you a service that you can never fully repay? Remember it and pay back with whatever coins in your hand that debt of love and honor. The plaudits and acclamations, the hosannahs and the cheers, soon die away. New heroes take our places almost before the sounds of coronation die away; and then we remember real friends who are far from the crowd, we remember that we have forgotten. Take time to show gratitude to fallen friends, those who served us well, and if we may not place a flower in their hands, we may at least place one on their graves. Let us remember. Let us be grateful Miss Ford, the Rebel spy, may have been exaggerated by the author, but she is made very life-like. Colored people will be surprised to learn of the secret service work done by Negroes in the Civil War. Two colored women working as servants unmasked the chief spy of the Confederacy, and saved Lincoln twice, once from abduction, once from assassination. When a new book on so old a subject as Lincoln can keep a hardened render up till two o'clock in the morning when he has to rise at seven—what more recommendation is needed? A. B.

Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD Use of the Napkin TABLE napkins were not intended to be used as bibs, handkerchiefs, towels or wash rags, nor should the corner of the napery be dipped in the finger bowl to wash one's fingers and mouth free from stickiness. The proper use of the napkin, whether it is at a formal dinner or in a restaurant, is to unfold it only half, leaving the center fold as it is, and lay it across the knees. It may be used constantly during the meal whenever the guest finds need for it, but it must never be completely unfolded. At the end of a meal the napkin is not to be folded to its original fold but is to be placed beside the last plate used. If guests remain for several meals the same napkin can be used by the same individuals, provided the napkins have been kept clean enough. Paper napkins were designed for quick and informal meals, and since they are to be destroyed immediately after the meal no special care is taken in the handling of them.

First, before you think of using a perfume—take a bath. Rid yourself of every hint of the day's accumulation of dust and fumes. After your bath and after the deodorants, then and not before, are you ready to put just a drop of that very choice perfume on your ear tip, on your lip, on your back hair curl near the nape of the neck, and on the frill of your skirt. Use on your.whole body a dusting powder of the same odor and you will remind one of the breath that comes from a garden where choice flowers bloom after a spring rain. Fragrant, alluring. So, if you haven't time to prepare for perfume, leave it off entirely. Your effect will be better without it. Thearcher Says— August 26 improves in nature, although its children should be careful of their real estate and property. There will be a conflicting element with their employers, and caution should be used in all contracts. The birthyear favors those who are writers, editors, or speakers, and those who follow professional pursuits. Household Hints A wet umbrella should be closed and stood with the hands down. This prevents rusting of the point where the ribs join, and also prevents stretching of the cloth. A solution of peroxide of hydrogen containing a few drops of ammonia will remove ink stains from the hands. If four rubber-tipped doors stops are screwed into the legs of an ordinary chair, an ideal high chair for kitchen work, or for a small child, can be made. Cut the strips containing buttons and buttonholes from discarded garments and use them under a fly in new garments. This saves times and labor. --- Lemon juice Powdered sugar --- A Change Is Needed His wife is never satisfied, whoops and yeas at the children, finds fault with everything, and nags him out of the house. He's getting tired, thinks of leaving her, but he doesn't care to break up their home and leave his kiddies. What shall he do? Dear Egypt Ann: I am a man of 44, my wife is 46. For the past few years she has been disagreeable, mean and sharp-tongued. I can't please her, no matter what I do. Once she told me to get out of the house and stay out. I didn't want to leave her with our four children, and besides, I care for her. She isn't interested in any other man. She's just unbearable, and the children, aged 18, 15, 10 and 8, are actually afraid of her. She never has a pleasant word for them and we are all afraid to say a word for fear she'll jump down our throats. She says she hasn't been feeling well lately and wishes she could get away from all of us. Kindly give me your opinion. A NAGGED HUSBAND. Dear Friend: I'm quite sure that your wife is going through one of the most serious stages of woman. Her age is a dangerous one and most women are affected in some way. She isn't her real self now and the best thing for you to do is to send her away to some quiet place for a rest and change. If you don't, she may lose her mind, as she is in such a condition that even those she loves most are annoying to her. it's best to consult a physician, and until you are able to send her away, give in to her wishes, and tell the children that mother is not well. Strength to all of you. EGYPSY ANN. Mortimer Weaver left Thursday for his work in the South, where he is teaching this fall.

FIVE Wedding Cake Although June has long since passed, people continue to get married. In other words, an elaborate wedding should be followed by a reception—and at receptions a wedding cake finds its place. If you want to economize, try this recipe: Cream one pound of butter, add gradually one pound of sugar, and beat well. Separate the yolk from the whites of twelve eggs; beat yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Beat whites stiff and dry. Add both egg yolks and whites to first mixture. Measure out one pound of flour, reserve one-third of a cup to combine with fruit, and add the remainder of the pound mixed and sifted with two teaspoons of cinnamon, three-fourths of a teaspoon each of nutmeg, allspice and mace, one-half teaspoon of cloves, one-fourth cup of grape juice and two tablespoons of lemon juice. Dredge with one-third cup of flour and add three pounds of raisins—seeded and cut into bits—one pound of currants, one pound of citron—sliced and cut in strips—one pound of figs, finely chopped. The citron may be reserved and put in layers between the cake mixture when placing it in the pan. Pans should be deep, covered with oiled paper. Cake may be steamed three hours, and baked for one and one-half hours, or baked slowly four hours. Mme.

At the National Theatre, where "Africana" is playing, a midnight show is presented every Thursday night, while the Royale, which houses "Rang Tang," features the midnight offering on Wednesday. The Alambra Theatre, recently reopened, also put on a midnight show on Wednesday, while the Lafayette Theatre continues its Friday night midnight ramble.

AUG. 26. 1927 A writer in the Evening Post recently had the following to say after a visit to the studio of Billy Pierce, the youngster who has made good in a shorter period of time than any of the other colored theatrical men in the Broadway district: "Next door to where I pound out there lines, in the 'Roaring Forties,' a piano plays constantly. I have been in the office as early as nine in the morning and as late as one a. m. and still the tensing strains of 'Black Bottom' and 'Charleston' are waffled through the transom. Investigated and found it to be a dancing studio where most of the principal players in musical comedy go for dancing instructions. The name on the door is 'Billy Pierce' and after meeting him came to the conclusion that he is the most intelligent colored man I have ever met. His chief instructor is Buddy Bradley, who Miss Ada May referred to as 'the soul of rhythm.' "You must also meet Frank Harrington, pianist and instructor. If he teaches as well as he plays, he must be the best teacher in the business. If you are thinking of learning the 'Black Bottom,' Charleston,' Sugar Foot Strut,' or any kind of tap dancing, look up Billy Pierce's address in the phone book. Sounds like an advertisement, doesn't it? It is not. Just deserving praise." Restrain "Africana" Damage Suit Asks Suit for $24,000 damages was filed yesterday in Supreme Court in an injunction application to restrain "Africana" from continuing at the National, where it moved last Saturday from Daly's. The suit was filed by the Sixty-third Street Theatre, Ltd., against Earl Dancer, Ethel Waters, star, and the Snubbert Theatrical Corporation. Plaintiff charged the show's contract read it could not play any other house until eight weeks after its run at Daly's. HUNTER HEADING LINCOLN PROGRAM Eddie Hunter, former star of "How Come," is heading the big revue at the New Lincoln Theatre this week. The supporting cast include a number of well known performers often seen at the local houses. The show is being rounded into form for the season, as it will go on the burlesque wheel at the conclusion of its engagement at the Lincoln. An ensemble of twenty-four singing and dancing girls add to the gayety of the offering. New Screen Offerings The latter part of the week, running into next week, will find Lewis Stone and Anna N. Nillson entertaining in that much spoken of recent screen release, "Lonesome Ladies," at the Roosevelt Theatre. Anita Stewart will also appear in "The Isle of Sunken Gold" at the same theatre. The latter picture reveals a domestic drama full of thrills and teeming with heart interest. The New Douglas Theatre offers for the end of the week another pulsating drama with scenes laid in France. The title of this picture is "The Tender Hour" and presents Billie Dove and Ben Lyon in the leading roles. At the Lincoln Theatre "Rubber Heels" is being offered until Sunday, "Rubber Heels," with Ed. Wynn, is supported by news reel and comedies. Waives Examination; Held for Grand Jury William Dowling, 41, 301 West 136th street, charged with felonious assault, was held in $2,500 bail for the Grand Jury when arraigned before Magistrate Flood in Heights Court yesterday. Dowling waived examination. Following an altercation on July 31 with Herbert D. Lane, 40, electrician, of the same address, Dowling was arrested by Patrolman Martin of the West 135th street station. Dowling was badly cut about the face and body and on the left leg, and was confined in Harlem Hospital for a period of three weeks. Margerett Lane is said to have been a material witness to the assault. OW ention moving orporation KNOW has a most unusual and in the Negro moving pic- t to you? CO., Inc. NEW YORK CITY BEAUTY WITHOUT CLASS Read This First Ivy Trench wants to meet Hannibal Thorne, a banker. At a summer resort she is saved from drowning by your uncle who says he is Hannibal Thorne. She knows better, because she has seen Hannibal Thorne's picture in the newspaper and the man. She decides to watch him and see what he is up to. One day when he appears to pull him out with great difficulty, then he alps up laughing and thanks her for the ride. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. SHE could only shake her head in bewilderment. He found his tobacco and filled his pipe, then he lay back and stretched himself on the sand, looking lazily up at the clouds. "You—you—" "Don't try to talk while you're out of breath. I'll talk for both of us. You know, I never thought I'd get such a kick out of this quiet little place. Ah, there's one now, a literal kick." In her exasperation Ivy had forgotten her dignity; she turned and kicked him on the thigh. "You're a good strong girl. Not many women could roll my hundred and eighty pounds around the way you did. It was a treat to stop working and let you push me. And the grip you had on my neck, I feel it yet." "I wish I'd broken it!" cried Ivy, now thoroughly angry. "A great big thing like you, to pretend you were drowning and make a poor weak woman—" "Strong woman, you should say, And I wasn't pretending to drown. You see, I had heard of a swimming champion who had only one leg, and it occurred 'to me that I might learn to swim with one arm, You obligingly came along and towed me ashore." "And you let me?" "Of course. It saved me exertion and gave you a thrill." "You brule!" she flashed; and Virginia State Closes Session Commencement Exercises to Be Held To= night. PETERSBURG, Va., July 25. The summer session of the Virginia State College will be over Saturday. The commencement exercises are scheduled for tonight. Dean Charles W. Florence will deliver the main address to the graduates. The work of the summer school this year is unusually good. President Gandy expresses himself as being especially pleased with the fine aggregate of teachers and students; and the excellent spirit which is being manifested both on the part of the visiting and regular instructors. Beginning with the fall quarter, the twentieth of September, there will be several changes or additions to the faculty. This is necessary because several of the workers have married, while others will be away on leave of absence for further study in their specific branch of education. Those who were married during the summer months are Miss Ruth Opal Robinson, keeper students' accounts; Miss Wilhelmina Byrd, a critic teacher; Miss Laura E. Forrester, teacher of history, and Miss Eunice W. Smith, also a critic teacher, none of whom will return. Mrs. Johnnella F. Jackson will not resume her work as music teacher because of the increasing duties of the home. Those who will be away for further work in education during the year are: Miss Felicia D. Anderson of the English Department, who goes to Yale for special work in dramatic art; Miss Anna L. Lindsay, head of the music department, who will spend the year studying at Columbia University, Miss Wilhelmina H. Hamlin, a critic teacher, and Miss Theresa Wilson of the English department will also study at Columbia. These vacancies will be supplied by the following teachers: The Rev, J, M. Ellison, who has just been conferred with the degree of M. B, in religious education at Oberlin College, will have charge of the religious activities of the school; J, M. Hunter, M. S. in physics from Cornell University, who will teach physics and mathematics; Miss Elaina J, Dean, M. A., in English, from Ohio State University, who will teach English in the third and fourth year high school; Mr. Doxey A, Wilkerson, M. A., in education, from Kansas University, who will teach English in the College Department; Harold D. Martin, B. S., from Norwich University, also a student in physical training at Harvard University, will have charge of the work in physical education and act as coach of the football and baseball teams and the track work. Miss Carrie B. Halsey, B. S., of the School of Commerce at Oregon State Agricultural College, has been assigned the position as stenographer to the registrar; Miss Mamie J. Sampson, B. S. in elementary education at Ohio University, will teach in the Training School; Miss Mildred O. Brown, B. S., from Virginia State College, Petersburg, Va., will teach mathematics in the high schools. Miss Ruby V. Clarke, from the the-Chicago Normal College Music. By AUBREY BOWSER Author of "The Man Who Would Be White" and Other Stories her anger carried her on. "You bruise, you faker! I've treated you better than you deserved all along, I could have given you away the first day you came here. I didn't, and now see what I get for it." "Given me away? How?" "Oh, don't look so innocent, Mister Whoever-you-are." Hannibal Thorne, at your service?" she mimicked. "You're no more Hannibal Thorne than I am!" He sat up and looked. hard at her. "Oh, that gets to you, doesn't it? At last I've got through your skin." "So you know I'm not Hannibal Thorne?" "I do, and I can prove it. I saw Hannibal Thorne's picture in the Philadelphia's 'Challenger.'" He looked away with narrowed eyes and the same grim expression that she had first seen on his face. After some minutes he turned to her again. "Well, what are you going to do about it?" "Oh, you admit the fraud, I see. Well, I'm going to let Hannihal Thorne know he's being impersonated." "Why haven't you done that already?" "Because you saved my life. I wasn't faking, like you; I was really drowning. But now that you've amused yourself making a fool of me, there's no more obligation." "Oh, yes, there is—your obligation to yourself." "What do you mean by that?" "I will show you tonight." He put down his pipe and plunged into the water again. She stayed on the beach watching his hold strokes and wondering what he meant. She resolved to keep close to him and miss nothing that he said or did. After dinner the honeymooners went out for a walk and Ivy went into the parlor. It was small, but crowded with furniture, which must have come from a dozen sources. Its one prevailing feature was antiquity. Some of the pieces were so old and curious that Ivy School will not act as the director of the Music School in the absence of Miss Anna L. Lindsay; Miss Georgia Loraine Robinson from the Normal Department of the Virginia State College will serve as critic teacher of the first grade in the Giles B. Cook School; Miss Viola G. Smith of the Normal Department of the Virginia State College will have charge, of the cafeteria; Miss Wynella E. Dent, who was away during the year to study at the Ohio State University, will resume her work as stenographer to the treasurer-business manager, and Miss Undine A. Smith, a graduate from Fisk School of Music, will teach piano in the Music Department. Two Men Accused of Stripping Automobile Accused of "stripping" an automobile belong to Philip Kramer, 30, 708 West 171st street, Charles Washington, 24, 40 West 131st street, and Major Evans, 24, 60 West 129th street, were arrested early yesterday morning at 1420 street and Lenox avenue by Patrolman Scantleberry of the West 135th street station. The prisoners were arraigned in Heights Court yesterday before Magistrate Flood, who held them in $500 ball on a charge of petty larceny, and to answer to the Court of Special Sessions. The policeman's testimony revealed that he saw the man with one Fisk tire, a tire rim and tube, a lock and chain and a tire cover, going west on 141st street. His suspicions were aroused and he told them to take him to the place where they got the stuff, he said. At 142d street and Lenox avenue they pointed out the car from which they are said to have taken the material. The men were taken to the West 135th street station and Krainan went there also and identified part of his stolen property, it is said. William Sullivan, 43, white, 190 West 119th street, was sent to the City Prison for fifteen days to allow him time to sober up, when arranged before Magistrate Flood in Heights Court yesterday.

They were mostly manhogany and rosewood; with one or two heavy walnut pieces; some were spindly and others massive, but nearly all abounded in arabesque scrolls and griffins or gargoyles heads. As jvy was sitting at the window Mr. Thorne came in, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Hall. They went over to a curious cabinet that ivy had often puzzled over. "That's the piece, Mr. Hall," said Mr. Thorne. "I will pay you twice what you gave for it." "Well, the truth is," said Mr. Hall, an honest-faced, gray-hair-old man. "I didn't give anything for it but the cartage. It was all given to me by old families here, about dyn'n off an' breakin' up. Of course I won't refuse money for it, but I won't lie about it." "Will you take fifty dollars for it?" "I飞—" gasped old Mr. Hall. "I'll be John Browned! You'll give me fifty dollars for that, old piece o' wood?" "Yes, and I will give you my check now." "It's sold!" exclaimed Mr. Hall. "I didn't think all the stuff in this parlor was wuth that much—it's all so old-like." "Some things never grow old," said Mr. Thorne gravely, "and one of them is beauty. This, I believe, is a Duncan Phyfe cabinet. Now, if Miss Trench doesn't mind, my disturbing her, I'll write the check at the window." "Never mind," said Mrs. Hall, "I'll bring a light." "No, thanks;" said Mr. Thorne, "it's light enough here. Pardon me, Miss Trench." Ivy moved. Thorne sat at the window, drew out a check-book and a fountain pen, and wrote a check to the order of James Hall for fifty dollars. Ivy was looking over his shoulder. Mr. Hall took the check like one who thought he was dreaming. (Concluded tomorrow.) Accuser Absent, Man Freed Charles Myrie, 37, 12 West 144th street, charged with disorderly conduct on complaint of Josia Miles, 649 Lenox avenue, was arraigned in Heights Court yesterday before Magistrate Flood, who dismissed him when Miles failed to appear.

Here too, the machine functioned smoothly, for the threatened fight that was to have been made on George E. Bates of Newark, grand secretary, and James T. Carter, grand treasurer, did not materialize. Bob Nelson, editor of the Washington Eagle, who was slated to make the run against Bates, seems to have been left in the burh. Tom Fleming of Cleveland, who was also the administration candidate for grand treasurer, was left in the scuffle. One strange feature of the past few conventions is the going back to office along with Wilson of both Bates and Carter, although both are supposedly bitterly opposed to him. Others elected last night were Dr. S. H. George, grand esteemed leading knight of Paducah, Ky.; Leonard Foreman, grand esteemed loyal knight, Akron, Ohio; Dr. Roland R.

It was that an attempt to organize a lodge in started on three different occasions and Philadelphians like to boast of the rapid rise of their baby lodge, Quaker City, but the rise of Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge, New York's baby lodge, under the most adverse conditions, is one of which New Yorkers should be proud. The idea of another lodge for New York City, to be located in the Bronx, originated in the mind of Past Exalted Ruler James B. Allen, a prominent member of Imperial Lodge No. 127. It remained for A. B. Chrichlow, also a past exalted ruler of Imperial Lodge, to put the idea into operation. Chrichlow met with violent opposition and was at first turned down flat on the proposition by one of New York's well-known deputies. It was common knowledge that an attempt to organize a lodge in the Bronx had been started on three different occasions and failed on each. But Chrishlow, sensing the need of still another lodge here that would accommodate the men whose homes are in the Bronx, plugged along in spite of the stiff opposition and on October 29, 1925, Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge was organized and set up by District Deputy David W. McDaniels, assisted by Deputies Samuel B. Mitchell, John H. Lovett, and P. E. R. James B. Allen and George Mapp. On November 2, 1925, Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson delivered to the new lodge its charter which bore the name of Henry Lincoln Jonhon No. 630. That was a night that will long remain vivid in the memory of all Henry Lincoln Johnson members as well as those visiting Elks who witnessed the ceremony. Mr. Wilson, handing over the charter, had tears in his eyes as he related his experiences with the late Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, a nationally known character, after whom the new lodge was named. When he placed the charter in the hands of A. B. Chrishow, the lodge's first exalted ruler, he cautioned him and all members of Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge to so live that they would ever honor the name of a man who had made an honorable name. SUCCEEDS UNDER DIFFICULTIES. From the moment the lodge was chartered, it began to run into difficulties, the idea having become prevalent that Henry Lincoln Johnson was a sort of an interloper. At the Richmond convention, the right of the lodge to exist was unsuccessfully challenged, the grand exalted ruler refusing to listen to any plea against the new lodge. And so, slowly but steadily, the Bronx Elks have forged ahead. They began with a membership of 11 and today they have 1,000 on their role. The band of Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge, under the leadership of Herbert Finley, is one that will soon be making a name for itself in Elkdom, so well does it now stand in the musical world. In Tuesday's parade, it was one of the outstanding bands, with brand new uniforms. One of the reasons for the remarkable growth of the new lodge is the versatility of its members, as instanced by the fact that the new uniforms for the band were supplied by one of its own members, Rudolph Geo. Athineon, the tailor. Since its formation, one other man has served in the chair, Lionel Kelly; and past exalted rulerships have been conferred on the fol EIGHT Machine Candidates Elected lecturing knight, Brooklyn, and William II. Emerson, Lexington, Ky., grand tiller. New Yorkers Win Charles M. Hanson, who got on the Wilson band wagon at the last minute, came out victorious in the election for grand auditor, and John Ouncan of Monarch Lodge, the exalted ruler of which also got on the Wilson band wagon, making the lodge "right" with the administration, was elected a grand trustee. Judge William C. Hueston was re-elected educational commissioner. But one New York lodge stood pat. Manhattan Lodge, and for so doing they were passed completely in the distribution of the plums. Floyd C. Payne of Washington D. C., and Dr. Love of North Carolina were also elected grand auditors. Chicago Wins next Convention So well did the delegates like tho way they were treated in Chicago in 1923, and so well did the people of the Windy City like the members of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. that they all got together and decided to go back there for the 1928 convention. Several cities were in the field for the twenty-ninth grand lodge session, including Richmond, Detroit, Kansas City and Baltimore. However, it was "in the bag" for Chicago and Jimmie Martin and his lads never had any fear that they would lose. The session will close this evening. J. —A. B. Chritchlow— Jowing members for meritorious service; Edward Montgomery, Leslie Taylor, Sinclair Taylor, L. B. Elkock and Hubert Pierce. TEMPLFORMED. Three months after the lodge was chartered, Mrs. Marietta Chricklow, wife of the exiled ruler, formed the temple. It was set apart as Apex Temple No. 387, with Mrs. Violet Coleman as the first daughter ruler, Like the lodge, the ladies have forged ahead and today they have a membership of 350 and are noted as one of the most select body of ladies in Elkdom. Inspired by the advancement of Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge and wishing to alm in the maintenance of that name, Mrs. Coleman, the first daughter ruler, soon succeeded in forming the Pathy Juvenile as an adjunct to Apex Temple, thus giving to New York's newest lodge the three complete bodies, all of which are functioning now in a healthy and excellent manner. All this week, Henry Lincoln Johnson has open house at 321 West 136th street, and on Friday, night, the band of the lodge will give a free band concert there. Visiting Elks are all cordially invited. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, FRIDAY, AUG. 26, 1927 Among Ncted Negro Musicians By Minnie Brown THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM A LITTLE song bird came out of the West to try her musical wings in the big metropolis. She came to study first and then show us her wares. This "she was not allowed to do long, for after two months of hard study with that master of voice, Oscar Saenger, we saw a placard announcing a joint recital of Jessie Andrews Zackery and Julius Bledsoe, for the benefit of the Jackson School of Music. She was unknown and he just a trifle better known. Today these two young people are known somewhere throughout this country. Mrs. Zackery opened her first group with "Her Love Song", and after singing two measures I whispered to my escort, "She's the goods," and settled back in my seat tilted with pride, especially because she was a Westerner, who was that night going to "make good." Of course, during the intermission the church was a buzz because of this new soprano with this most beautiful voice. Those of us who knew voice culture were convinced that she had not only brought one of the most beautiful voices we had ever heard, but she had also brought to her New York teacher a fine vocal foundation. She sang with so much ease and poise—a great outstanding factor in her singing still—that one musician enthusiastically remarked, "Did you ever hear such effortless singing?" Her short musical career has been meteoric. In the space of six years she has been abroad to England and France, she has been West four times, has done concerts in the South and Middle West, to say nothing of her concert work throughout the East. She is a remarkable young woman in many ways. She has several gifts with which she could make a splendid living. Had she chosen, she might have become an artist, for she can draw and paint well. She is an excellent pianist and many of her friends in her home town, Denver, Colo., had visions of her becoming a great pianist. She could have made a first class tailor and designer of costumes, yet cooking is her hobby—lemon merangue phe being her piece de resistance in the culinary line. She was the first Negro clerk in the Colorado State Legislature and later had charge of the music at Quindaro, Kans., at the same time directing the choir in Kansas City, Kans. She also at one time had charge of the choir of her church in Denver. A very beautiful feature of the latter work was that her mother was a member of the same choir. And speaking of her mother, to whom she was passionately devoted, she attributes her greatest inspiration and encouragement. Her sister, Miss Mabelle Andrews, teacher of English in Summer High School, Kansas City, Kans., says: "I can remember no time when Jesse did not sing, upstairs and downstairs, in doors and out, she was always singing, and whenever we heard her, Mother and I would stop and listen. In fact, it was conceded in the family that she was to be a singer." This young woman is an inspiration to the younger group that she represents, especially from the standpoint of preparedness. She is ready vocally for any occasion that may arise, no matter how short the notice. That is how she received a vaudeville engagement when she knew absolutely nothing of the stage, but she was ready with the main thing, a well trained voice. She sang and immediately received a contract for an engagement on a New York City circuit, and was the only Negro woman to my knowledge who has been permitted to use operatic aras. At the completion of her contract she was immediately re-engaged over the same circuit. the same circuit. William Grant Still came to her burriedly one day in the spring to present his own compositions in a group of five ultra-modern composers. That evening he brought the music. Knowing the intricacies of the ultra-modern music, we were amazed at the fluency with which she read it. The next day she was able to give Mr. Still a hearing. The music had been memorized and the following Saturday night, at the new School for Social Research, she interpreted the songs with such artistic finish that Mr. Rosenfeld, music critic on an art magazine, said to her: "Mrs. Zackery, what a pleasure to hear someone sing who really can sing." In the following issue of the Musical Courier, Frank Patterson gave an excellent comment on Mrs. Zackery's interpretation of Mr. Still's music. She goes about her music and concerns without the noise of drums, but each time she is heard her artistic growth is a marvel. She studied in Denver under an Austrian named Wahl, in New York under Oscar Saenger, in London under Muehlbin, and she is returning in the spring to do more work with him. As a young artist, Mrs. Zackery has already arrived. We are simply awaiting the unusual opportunities that seemingly present themselves to this young woman, who will in a short space of time represent the Negro woman, musically, as does Roland Hayes the man; which in the final analysis means she will soon become one of the race's greatest singers.

Flipper in 1877, John H. Alexander in 1837 and Charles Young in 1889. Resolutions Passed by Pan-African Congress THE fourth Pan-African Congress, assembled in New York City August 21, 22, 23 and 24, 1927, with representatives from twenty American States, from nearly all of the West Indies Islands, from Germany, Japan, India, South America, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, Nigeria, Liberia, South Africa, adopts this statement to express the legitimate aims and needs of the peoples of Negro descent. Negroes everywhere need: 1. A voice in their own government. 2. Native rights to the land and its natural resources. 3. Modern education for all children. 4. The development of Africa for the Africans and not merely for the profit of Europeans. 5. The reorganization of commerce and industry, so as to make the main object of capital and labor the welfare of the many, rather than the enriching of the few. 6. The treatment of civilized men as civilized, despite differences of birth, race or color. Specifically and in particular we stress the need of reform in the following countries: FREE HAITI cordance with the report of the "Con-terested Americans" and our represent- ate demand the withdrawal from Ha- forceces of the United States and all off- eral or otherwise, except only regularly- ly representatives or consular agents, that actual self-government be restored, that in 1928 Haitian elections should and that the American Receiver Gener- replaced, by equitable agreement with and that in general the attempt of to dominate the industry and monop- Haiti be decisively checked and turned, as will encourage industry and agric- fit of Haitian people. attitude of all the imperial powers, fundamentally wrong.

In accordance with the report of the "Committee of Six Disinterested Americans" and our representative from Haiti, we demand the withdrawal from Haiti of all military forces of the United States and all officers, military, naval or otherwise, except only regularly accredited diplomatic representatives or consular agents. We demand that actual self-government be restored. We demand that in 1928 Haitian elections should be held. We demand that the American Receiver General of Customs be replaced, by equitable agreement with the bondholders, and that in general the attempt of American capital to dominate the industry and monopolize the land of Haiti be decisively checked and turned into such channels as will encourage industry and agriculture for the benefit of Haitian people. The attitude of all the imperial powers who own Africa is fundamentally wrong. They are seeking profit, not men; they want trade and industry more than civilization and spiritual uplift. This attitude is a menace, not simply to Africans, but to modern democratic culture. It must and will be changed. BRITISH POLICY COMMENDED congratulate Great Britain on granting power to the four colonies of British India the urge an extension of this policy, so they may control their own legislative councils and urge the restoration of their land and to voice in the government to the head of Northern and Southern Rhodesia are alarmed at the attempt of the white nation of South Africa to monopolize their aborigines; to exclude them from its maintain, in effect, their present disfellowship to reduce them to impotent serfdom; to reactionary program of the Herzog get greatest challenge to decent race relation.

Still await in the Belgian Congo realement on the part of Belgium to resupply to the natives; to give them some government and to restrain the efforterian Congo merely a profitable investment in industry, with almost no concerted effort to develop the natives and conserve them for them. We are glad to see an in cooperation for education in the Congo far below the amount needed. We urge the restoration of their land and the granting of a voice in the government to the natives of Kenya and of Northern and Southern Rhodesia. We are alarmed at the attempt of the white minority in the Union of South Africa to monopolize the land of the black aborigines; to exclude them from profitable labor; to maintain, in effect, their present disfranchisement and to reduce them to impotent serfdom. We regard the reactionary program of the Herzog government as the greatest challenge to decent race relations in our day. In all British Africa it is lamentable to note how little is being done to educate the natives, despite the founding of Achimota. We urge in French Africa a further development of their admirable scheme of native education and an extension of political rights for a larger number of natives. We ask protection for the natives against the exploitation by French industry and commerce of the resources of this great colony. We still await in the Belgian Congo real evidence of a movement on the part of Belgium to restore land ownership to the natives; to give them some voice in their own government and to restrain the effort to make the Belgian Congo merely a profitable investment for European industry, with almost no concerted effort to uplift and develop the natives and conserve the natural resources for them. We are glad to see an increase in the appropriation for education in the Congo, but it is still far below the amount needed. ABYSSINIA AND LIBERIA demand the continued independence of the with international movements on the popists to bring modern education to the land and modern industry, planned for the abyssinians and not simply for the Bongratulate Liberia upon her improvement but we are alarmed at the increase of the owners of the Firestone run.

We congratulate Liberia upon her improved financial position, but we are alarmed at the increasing power and influence of the owners of the Firestone rubber concession. We urge the authorities of Liberia and the Negro voters in the United States to be vigilant, lest this industry's concession encroach upon the political independence of Liberia. We believe that the solution of Liberia's problems lies in the establishment of a strong system of universal education for both natives and Liberians. We demand for Portugal and her African colonies a curbing of that financial and industrial power which is forcing her into bankruptcy and making her colonies the property of slave-driving concessionaires, despite the liberal and far-sighted colonial legislation of Portugal. We believe in MISSIONARY EFFORT, but in missionary effort for health, morals and education, and not for military aggression and sectarian superstitions. WEST INDIES argue the peoples of the West Indies to movement for the federation of these action of their present outrageous event; the broadening of educational facilities and labor legislation to protect fast industrial exploitation. We regard cards this to be an utter erasing ofween mulattoes and blacks, which appear is still being drawn and encouraged the enemies of Negro freedom, believe that the Negroes of the Uni begin the effective use of their politi We urge the peoples of the West Indies to begin an earnest movement for the federation of these islands; the reduction of their present outrageous expenses of government; the broadening of educational facilities on modern lines and labor legislation to protect the workers against industrial exploitation. We regard the first step towards this to be an utter erasing of that color line between mulattoes and blacks, which spring from slavery and is still being drawn and encouraged by those who are the enemies of Negro freedom. We believe that the Negroes of the United States should begin the effective use of their political power and that, instead of working for a few minor offices or for merely local favors and concessions, they should vote with their eyes fixed upon the international problems of the color line and the national problems which affect the Negro race in the United States. Only independent votes for candidates will carry out their desires regardless of party will bring them political and economic freedom. The economic situation of American Negroes is still precarious. We urge the entrance of Negroes into trade unions. We believe that, along with their entry into industry as skilled and semi-skilled workers and their growing ownership of land and homes, that they should especially organize as consumers and from co-operative effort seek to bring to bear upon investors and producers the coersive power which co-operative consumption has already attained in certain parts of Europe and of America. Lynching, segregation and mob violence still oppress and crush black America, but education and organized social and political power begin to point the way out. Upon matters that lie outside our own problems, we must also express our thought and wish, because the narrow confines of the modern world entwine our interests with those of other peoples. We desire to see freedom and real national independence in Egypt, in China and in India, and the cessation of the interference of the United States in the affairs of Central and South American countries. We thank the Soviet Government of Russia for its liberal attitude toward the colored races and for the help which it has extended to them from time to time. We urge the white workers of the world to realize that no program of labor uplift can be successfully carried through in Europe or America so long as colored labor is exploited and enslaved and deprived of all political power.
