ARK. MOB LYNCHES MAN STORY REVEALED WHICH CAUSED BRENT'S DEATH NIGHT FINAL EXTRA With I. B. P. O. E. News VOL. XVIII. NO. 39-F. Current Comment By WILLIAM PICKENS A "Black Sacco" in Tennessee A WHITE woman now confesses that she killed the woman for whose killing Maurice Mays, a Negro, was executed, after a long fight by people of both races, who believed in his innocence. The fight lasted for several years—but the Knoxville, Tenn., authorities were as determined to execute Mays as were the authorities in Massachusetts to execute the two radicals. Just as in the case of the two Italian radicals, so in the case of Mays, the Negro, there was another strong motive in the minds of the judges, the jury and the rest of the court which blased them toward a verdict of guilty; in the Sacco-Vanzetti case it was the violation of the will of the majority by radicalism or anarchy; in the case of Maurice Mays it was the violation of the will of the majority race about interracial matters. That is, Mays, it was whispered, had been intimate with the white woman. Therefore, whether he murdered her or not, "the ought to be killed." Now a white woman in Ohio confesses that she herself killed the other white woman, because the other white woman was taking the affections of the killer's husband. Another parallel: Just as the authorities in Massachusetts would pay no attention to the criminal who confessed that he and his gang did the murder for which the two Italian were being tried, so now the police authorities of Knoxville, Tenn., on being told that a woman who was in Knoxville at the time of the murder, but who is now in Ohio, has confessed to killing the woman for whom Mays was executed, simply send word back to Ohio that "Maurice Mays has paid the death penalty for the crime and that records show no charge against the woman." Of course, it is too late for the woman's confession to save Mays, but the Knoxville authorities know that it is not too late to "save their faces" from the pointing finger of scorn from just men. Therefore, they will play "hush" on this matter. Newsdealer Cut by Regular Customer Lloyd Ivy to Be Arraigned Today After Row Over Paper. Lloyd E. Ivy, 2295 Seventh avenue, was arrested at 8.30 this morning, following an altercation with James Gordon, newsdealer, who has a news-stand at 2297 Seventh avenue, near 135th street. Gordon fires at 173 West 141st street. Ivy told the lieutenant at the West 135th street station, where he was charged with felonious assault, that he approached Gordon to buy his morning paper, as usual. Owing to the rain, the papers were put inside under an awning. Gordon told him to go inside and get his paper, Ivy said. Gordon declares that Ivy insisted upon having his paper brought to him. An argument arose between the men, and Ivy said that Gordon drew a penknife and cut him on the right thumb. "This made me angry," said Ivy, "and I ran up stairs into my apartment and came back at him with a knife." Gordon was cut on the left cheek, and Mrs. Gordon, who was present, screamed. Hearing the woman's screams, about a dozen patrolmen, just going on duty from the West 135th street station, were attracted to the scene and Parolman Maloney arrested Ivy.

E. BATES PAYS TRIBUTE TO N. Y. LODGES Grand Secretary of I. B. P. O. E. of W. Says He Never Doubted but That Grand Lodge Sessino Would Be Held Here. In the report of Grand Secretary George E. Bates, read during the grand lodge session of the Elks at Mother Zion Church, he pays a glowing tribute to the fidelity, loyalty and enthusiastic support of the New York lodges and temples in bringing the twenty-eighth Grand Lodge Session to this city. He remarked that to him there had never been any uncertainty about the holding of the convention here, as he had publicly stated on several occasions, since he had always believed that the trouble would be ironed out to the satisfaction of all. of real os of the 0. There property the home New York one in ; Light- Atlantic He reported a falling off in membership for the past year, although eighty-three new lodges had been made since August 15, 1926. The law providing that a second lodge may be set up in cities of 50,000 or more Negroes has enabled the order to add to its rolls new lodges in the cities of Baltimore, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Atlanta, Georgia. To Monarch Lodge of this city, said the grand secretary, goes the honor of first place in numerical standing of all lodges within the jurisdiction, with a membership of 2,902. O. V. Cato Lodge of Philadelphia is second with a membership of 2,700. They are tied with Morning Star Lodge of Washington, who have the same number of members for whom per capita tax was paid. The next in point of membership, constituting the ten largest lodges, are: Columbia, Washington, the lodge that was number one last year; Monumental, Baltimore; Manhattan, New York; Williams, Richmond; Cuyahoga, Cleveland; Great Lakes, Chicago, and Quaker City, Philadelphia. North Carolina leads in the number of lodges with sixty-four; Pennsylvania is next with sixty-two; Virginia, third, with fifty-three, and New Jersey fourth, with fifty-one. The estimated value of real estate owned by the lodges of the order amounts to $1,750,000. There are 111 lodges owning property outright or purchasing. The home of Imperial Lodge in New York City is the most valuable one in Elkdom, listed at $200,000; Lighthouse Lodge Home in Atlantic City, has a listing of $62,250. O. V. Cato Lodge of Philadelphia paid the highest death claim, $6,200. Exclusive of the sums sent the Mississippi sufferers, $24,769 was given to charity by the various lodges throughout the country during the past year. The total receipts of the grand lodge were $57,049.69; the disbursements, $40,197.32. The cash balance now on hand amounts to $109,936.93. RECOMMENDATIONS MADE. Mr. Bates recommended the setting aside of a fund to aid small lodges in the purchasing of homes; that there be an audit of the books twice each year and that the audit take place in the office of the grand secretary. He said that the law granting the past exulted ruler degree for meritorious service was being abused and recommended that it be abolished. THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News White Woman Confesses Murder; Man Executed NORTON, Va., Aug. 26.—After confessing that she had committed the murder for which a colored man was electrocuted in Knoxville, Tenn., five years ago. Mrs. Salde Mendil was released from jail last Saturday. She confessed, the police say, that five years ago in Knoxville, when her name was Mrs. John Roddy, she trailed her husband to the home of Bertie Lindsey, another white woman. She then dressed in men's clothing, blackened her face, went to Bertie Lindsey's home and killed her in bed. She made this confession voluntarily, she said, because her conscience had been troubling her. In the meantime Maurice Mays, a colored man, was convicted of this crime and electrocuted. Chief of Police Warren said that he had been informed by telephone by the Knoxville chief of police that three was no charge on the Knoxville record against the woman. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUG. 27, 1927 ARKANSAS MOB LYNCHES MAN ACCUSED OF ATTACK WILMOT, Ark., Aug. 26.—Less than eight hours after he was alleged to have attacked a young married woman here, Winston Pounds, 20, was taken from a posse of deputy sheriffs and hanged to a tree. The man was alleged to have attacked the woman yesterday at her home. Her husband was in Little Rock and a sister, spending the night with her, aroused neighbors. After the attack Pounds is said to have fled to the woods, where bloodhounds took up a trail which led the sheriff and a posse to his hiding place. The prisoner was brought back here and, when the sheriff stepped into a garage for a few minutes, a mob of less than fifty men drove up to the garage, covered the deputies with guns, and forced him into an automobile. They drove a mile and a half into the country and hanged him to a tree. GENERAL NEWS BULLETIN No Report from Redfern BRUNSWICK, Ga..

Tearfully begging Magistrate Flood in Heights Court yesterday to send Cornelius James, 33, 258 West 129th street, to jail to escape his cruelty, Elinor Holmes, who said she had been living with James for three years, related that she had tried to "quit him" time and again, but that she was forced to return to him when he threatened her life. James was sent to the Workhouse for one month. A little over a month ago James was sentenced to one month in the Workhouse on a charge of making threats. Miss Holmes told the magistrate that each time she would leave James, he would bring her back at the point of a revolver. "Do you mean to tell me he held a revolver on you for three years?" she was asked. At this point the woman began to weep bitterly and pleaded for James' arrest that she might escape his revenge. The arresting officer told the court that James sicked a white bulldog on him when he arrived to arrest him. Miss Holmes seemed to be suffering greatly from the beating James is said to have administered. TRA Cloudy, with possibly light rain today; and warmer tomorrow.ves Yesterday—Max. 67; Min. 60.

Cases Against Gabriel Brooks and William Price, Both of Whom Were Charged With Larceny Are Dismissed. The story that revealed the whereabouts of the banjo that caused the death of Johnny Brent, sea food and chop house man, 2193 Seventh avenue, came to light in Heights Court yesterday. James H. Robinson, alleged self-confessed slayer of Brent, recently indicted by a Grand Jury for murder in the first degree, was the complainant against Gabriel Brooks, 24, 116 West 131st street, and William Price, 29, 125 West 135th street, both of whom were charged with larceny. A similar increase to that of the grand exalted ruler's was granted to the grand secretary, and hereafter his salary will be $5,000 per annum, though there was no provision made for clerk hire for that office, now held by George E. Bates. J. Finley Wilson, who on Thursday was re-elected grand exalted ruler of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., will have $5,000 for his services for the year 1927-28, as the result of the grand lodge action last night, raising the salary of the grand exalted ruler of the Elks to $5,000 per year. The raise in salary is mute evidence of the growth and importance of Elkdom today in this country. Five years ago, when Wilson became grand exalted ruler, the salary was $1,200 per year. It has been successively raised until last year it was $4,200. Last night's increase carries with it $1,200 per year for clerk hire, in addition to the $5,000, making that office one of the most desirable non-political offices among Negroes today. Judge Wm. C. Hueston also came in for a nice boost in salary, the pay of the educational commissioner having been increased from $2,000 to $3,000 per annum. An attempt was made to give the grand legal adviser a substantial salary, but this bit of generosity on the part of the brothers failed to get over. A slight raise was granted, however, to the office now held by Attorney Perry Howard of Washington, D. C., and from now on he may worry along with $1,200 to add to that of his salary as assistant United States attorney general. The proposition as first submitted provided for an increase in salary to $2,500, with two assistants at $1,000 each. The proposition as finally adopted raised the salary of the grand legal adviser to $1,200 per annum. -Story Under "Extra" Robinson related that on the night of the fatal shooting, he went, in company with Brooks and Price, to the Elks' Rest, 116 West 129th street, taking his $375 Paramount style banjo with him. A dance was in progress, and he attempted to join the orchestra, but was too intoxicated, he said, to play. He went to Brent's restaurant for a cup of coffee to help sober himself, he related, and took the banjo with him. At this point in the testimony Magistrate Flood learned of the indictment, and instructed Robinson that he would not be obliged to answer any questions unless he desired to, and that he would be the judge of whether or not question should be answered. "Do you wish to have any of the questions that you have answered struck out of the record?" Robinson was asked. "No." The testimony was then continued. Detective Joseph Brown of the West 135th street station, testified that he arrested Price in a pawn shop at 552 Lenox avenue, where he was attempting to pawn the banjo, the pawn broker refusing it. Brown narrated that Price told him that Brooks asked him to pawn it. The detective's testimony was corroborated by Price. Brooks took the stand and declared that on the night in question, Robinson was intoxicated to the point of staggering. Before leaving the Elks' Rest, he said, Robinson asked him to lend him $10 on his banjo until 2 o'clock the next day. When Robinson failed to show up, he continued, he asked Price to pawn the banjo for $10 and bring him the ticket, which he intended to give to Robinson. A witness was called in the case, and his testimony substantiated the claim that Robinson left his banjo at the Elks' Rest, and did not take it to Brent's restaurant. Patrolman Roberts of the Sixth Division testified that he was in the restaurant on the night in question and saw Robinson when he came in, and when he went out. He had no banjo at the time, he avered. The complaint against Brooks and Price was then dismissed. Dismissed Gertrude Henry, 19, 259 West 121st street, was dismissed on a charge of disorderly conduct by Magistrate Flood in Heights Court yesterday when the complainant, Roselle Buthnee, 418 West 128th street, failed to appear. Barefoot Bcy of Tan, Age 12. Rides 200 Miles From Bowie, Md. A twelve-year-old barefoot boy of tan arrived in the Bronx recently, riding a second-hand bicycle with a flat tire, having come 200 miles from Bowie, Maryland, to visit an aunt here. The perilous trip covered seven days, with a capital of fifty cents. The little brown buddy from Bowie is Charles Downie, who said his family lived in the Bronx five years ago at 992 Brook avenue, next door to Mrs. Rose Brown, who still lives at No. 994. Falling to find his aunt, who had moved, Downie visited Mrs. Brown, whose responsibility of four children would not permit her to care for him. At the boy's suggestion, Downie went to the Northampton Police Station, where he told them of tales of adventure upon the high roads. He was then placed in the cure of the Children's Society. Mrs. Ida Greenfield is said to be the aunt from whom the boy died in Bowie, and a noble purpose is given as the cause of his turning fugitive. "My kid sister, Louise," said the lad, "stole a piece of meat from the ice-box. I knew she would be tanned for it, so I took the blame on myself. Then I went out, got my old bike and started for the Bronx. I had fifty cents which I made by running errands in Bowie." A flat tire was the only difficulty he encountered on the trip, Charlie said, and that occurred in Elizabeth, N. J. His money had long since been spent. His worn-down shoes wore completely out before he got half way to the big city, he said, and he was left barefoot. Arriving at his "hotel" at the Children's Society, the first thing Downle asked for was a chair, really dirty, said the agitative public school graduate, "and that is what I hate to be" Superintendent Hyland 'saw to it that Charlie was forthwith accommodated. At the Morrisania Station kind-hearted cops had donated good eats and dressed him in overalls and a cotton shirt and cap. Charlie's mother died in 1923 and his father was killed in an accident the same year. Mrs. Greenfield then took him and his sister, who is now ten years old, to her home in Bowle. 'Haitians Friendly,' Says Bellegarde Interviewed by Reporter Before Sailing for Isl- and Republic. "The colored people of Haiti are and always have been friendly to the colored people of the United States," said M. Dantes Bellegarde when interviewed by The Amsterdam News yesterday morning before leaving for Haiti. M. Bellegarde, delegate from Haiti, was one of the outstanding figures of the Pan-American Congress held in New York this week. He has represented his country as Haitian Minister to France and as delegate to two meetings of the Loague of Nations. He was a member of the committee appointed by the League of Nations to investigate slavery and pledge throughout the world. He has attracted attention wherever he has spoken because of his wonderful forensic ability. Pew people know, M. Bellegarde said, of the part the little country of Haiti played in the history of America. She sent six hundred Haitian soldiers to fight for the independence of the United States. He also told of the fugitive Bolivar from South America, who was welcomed at Haitian firesides during his exile and given arms with CITY NEWS BRIEFS Chester Wintoeen, 35, 104 Edgecombe avenue; said to be suffering with heart trouble; treated at home by Dr. Wilkinson.

A certain reserve has followed that enthusiastic beginning. Why? Because they have tried to make the colored people of America believe that Halti is hostile to them. We wish the American people and above all the Government at Washington to know that it is absolutely false that the Haltians do not wish to see American Negroes. "It is to the highest interest of the Haltians to know the elite of the colored Americans and to enter into intimate communications with them. Where has there been a white American who was more loved and respected than Frederick Duskeau?" The Haltians desire that colored American officials be sent to Halti in order to know the situation of their race kindred. Only people of the black race, will be able to understand the true needs of the Haltian Negroes. Pullman Refusal Strengthens Porters Acting on the statement of Edwin P. Morrow of the United States Mediation Board that the Pullman Company had refused to arbitrate with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. A. Philip Randolph, general organizer, announces that the brotherhood would appeal to the Emergency Board. "Instead of weakening the brotherhood, the Pullman Company's attitude has strengthened its position before the bar of public opinion," Randolph said. The brotherhood charged that it represented the majority of Pullman porters and malaids. The company held that the employee representation plan, which it favors, represented $3 per cent of Pullman porters and malaids. He brotherhood charged that porters and malaids for that plan last November under intimidation, but the company maintained it had a contract with its employees under the plan. This the brotherhood denies. 132d street, was struck and knocked down by an automobile driven by Oliver Hoynes, 40 West 133d street, in front of 13 West 132d street.

Last month the Colored Orphan Asylum, better known as the Riverdale Orphange, finished its nineteenth year. It is the oldest of all color orphanages and the superintendent, Dr. Mason Pitman, says that in the past year five hundred children found homes there or were provided for. The asylum goes back into history, and so does Dr. Pitman. He is the grandnephew of Sir Isaac Pitman, inventor of the famous shorthand system. It was founded in 1536 by two young Quaker women—Miss M. Mary Murray, 18, and Miss Anna Shotwell, 28—to relieve the conditions under which colored orphans were then living. In those days, long before the Civil War, colored orphans were lodged in jails and almshouses. There was a great deal of opposition to the plan of the young women, but they persisted with the moral courage for which Quakers are famous. HIGH BAIL SET FOR LONG ISLAND MAN Following his arrest on a serious charge, Malcolm Brockenbrough, 27, 1215 Corona avenue, Long Island, was held in $5,000 ball for a further hearing by Magistrate Flood in Helghts Court yesterday. The story of Brockenbrough's alleged improper conduct with a schoolgirl under age, will be heard next Tuesday in Helghts Court. They managed to get together $2,900 and bought a white frame house on Twelfth street, calling it the Colored Orphans' Home. Six years later it was destroyed by a fire which was believed to have been of incendial origin. The women, undaunted, secured temporary quarters at Fifth street. Later, the city granted a plot of land at Forty-third street and Fifth avenue, and a building was erected with room for 200 children. This home lasted twenty years, caring for hundreds of orphans. During the Civil War a mob of Southern sympathizers attacked it and burned it to the ground. The next site of the home was 1432 street between Tenth and Eleventh streets. The building was used till 1906, when the present site at Riverdale was bought. It consists of nineteen acres overlooking the Hudson at 261th street. Dr. Pittman has explained the work of the orphanage: The children are given the ordinary school education up to the eighth grade, including domestic science, manual training, music and athletics. The city board of education is in charge of the schools. If the child is above the average mentally arrangements are made for him or her to live at the institution and attend the high school outside, and the school he succeeds at the high school encouragement given to go to college or to take a trade, whichever the child desires. Dr Pittman says that his great trouble is in keeping for further training those who are worthy of it. Some of the children are only half orphans, and as soon as they reach the age of sixteen the surviving parent is eager to get hold of the child and put it to work. Under Dr. Pitman's regime special problems have been given attention. It was the second cottage type institution in the city; it was the first to provide adequate play facilities; after-care of the children who leave is part of the plan; and the latest psychological tests to permit the scientific handling of the children have been used extensively. In placing children from the orphanage in private homes a careful investigation is made and regular reports are required of the persons with whom the child is placed. One reason for the long career of the orphanage is that there is a family loyalty among the trustees. Trusteeship passes from one generation to another. Nearly all the trustees who control the asylum's assets of $1,000,000 are related in one way or another to the courageous little group who with so much effort gathered together in 1836 the sum of $2,000 to buy the cottage in Twelfth street. Today there are seven cottages besides the main building, the four health nurseries and the grounds and cardons, all making a superb clearing house for the dependent colored children of the city. Riverdale Orphanage Overlooking the Hudson River HIGH BAIL SET FOR LONG ISLAND MAN Following his arrest on a serious charge, Malcolm Brockenbrough, 27, 1215 Corona avenue, Long Island, was held in $5,000 ball for a further hearing by Magistrate Flood in Heights Court yesterday.

Meditation WHAT, oh what in all creation (Quoth I rapt in meditation) Is the good of little me? Not one bit that I can see. Just to long for things in vain; Just to smile to ease the pain. Just to sit alone and pine. For the things that are not mine. Why, oh why did fate decree That this lot belong to me? Fain would I have been unborn. Than I live the life I scorn. I hate to work while others play. I hate to do as others say. I want to do the things I please. To live as they, who live in ease. Why cannot my dreams come true As many others often do? Why must I work each liv- e less than others throw away? I'm tired of this futile life, Naught but toll and care and strike Hence why must I forever be Touched by the sting of poverty? My heart, alas, was all but broken When to me these words were spoken— Not from afar but quite so near, Low, distinct and very clear—"Seekest thou for things that fade, Things of which this world is made, Treasures that will soon decay Joy that passeth soon away?" Time, perhaps, will ease thy pain, Perhaps, thou hast not wept in vain— For the wealth this world can give. To dust. Now canst thou see Why wealth is naught but poverty? --By M. Coleman.

Despite the fact that, the National Negro Business League has fostered and nourished into independent existence a number of specialized organizations, each now functioning with especial interest in a specific line, the parent body continues to grow in membership, interest and importance. Five thousand members were added in the past year. The National Medical Association, the National Bar' Association, the National Fair Trade Association, the National Hardressers' and Barbers' Association' in the National Association of Undergrads are typical of a number of trade lines bodies that now hold distinct conventions in separate cities, but whose origin is attributable to the National Negro Business League. This is as has always been contemplated by the founders of the league whose aim was to develop Negro business to where trade bodies could be utilized to advan- 1930 tage. Regardless of these offspring that have been sent into the business life of the land for themselves, the league growth has been asounding. The manifest devotion of its officers is disclosed when one states that less than twenty-four per cent were absent from roll calls at the St. Louis sessions. The election resulted in an almost unanimous retention of incumbents in office. The roster reads as follows: Officers: Robert R. Moton, president, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; J. C. Napier, nonary president, Nasville, Tenn.; Dr. J. R. Levy, second vice-president, Florence, S. C.; John L. Webb, first vice-president, Hot Springs, Ark.; Tran, J.

Extends a welcome to the visiting members of Elkdom and invites them to visit its home at The session of the women was long drawn out and they had not finished at a late hour Friday night, though the session was compelled to end Saturday. On the whole, all of the meetings were harmonious. Mrs. Abbie Johnson of Philadelphia was re-elected, the de- daughter of William Wilhelm, daughter ruler. Mrs. Emma V. Kelly, the supreme mother of all daughter Elks, was re-elected grand secretary. Among the other elections was that of Mrs. M. Watson Rudd, grand gate keeper, and Mrs. Rosa Blocher of New York, grand escort. The session was temporarily suspended Friday night at 10, when the grand daughter ruler and her staff left Mount Olivet Church to go to Mother Zion Church, where the men were still in session, to pay to them the fraternal greetings of the women. At Mother Zion Church, William welcomed the ladies on behalf of the order, and the grand daughter ruler responded. SILVER JUNIEL FAGEANT. One of the features of the temple session was the silver jubilee, celebrated at the church Wednesday night. It was particularly a tribute to Mrs. Emma Kelly, founder of the order, and it marked the twenty-fifth anniversary celebration of the temples. Mrs. Kelly, who bails from Norfolk, received a number of valuable and costly presents, including a purse of $1,000 in silver, and a silver bouquet upon which twenty-five silver dollars were hung, one of which was a Caban dollar, the gift of Mrs. M. Watson Rudd of Havana, Cuba Presents were also given to the grand daughter ruler and to the past grand daughter ruler, Mrs Laura G. Williams, of New York. The women's session was particip- aided, somewhat in contrasts. Go to the Hello, Bill! JIMMIE 2175 Seventh Ave. Welcomes You delegates being present and voting. Mrs. Ethel Fraser was chairman of the local committee in charge of the entertainment of the temples. Thursday night at the Renaissance Casino the silver jubilee anniversary reception was held. The place was crowded to capacity and the renewal of old acquaintances in a convivial environment was the order of the evening. Man Pays $5 for $5,000 Cremona Violin It sounds like, romantic fiction, but it's a fact. A week ago a valuable Cromona violin of seventeenth century make, with $5,000, was stolen from the dressing room of Morris Nikke, white, violinist and Morris Nikke, white, violinist. No trace of it was found till night, when Detectives Duggan and Glirroy caught John Shea on a fire escape behind the Cort Theatre with a violoncello under his arm. Shea, when taken to the West Forty-seventh street station, confessed that he had stolen the $5,000 violin, but he had no idea of its worth. He said he had sold it for five dollars to a man on Seventh avenue, whose little boy had a bent for music. He was later recovered by the two detectives in a colored home on Thirty-fifth street, where the boy's mother was complaining that her husband bought the boy an old second-hand fiddle that she was glad to get rid of. HELD FOR GRAND JURY FOR SLASHING WOMAN Edward Maynard, 34, 203 West 147th street, charged with felonious assault upon Sarah Maynard, 26, 276 West 141st street, was held in $1,000 ball for the Grand Jury by Magistrate. Flood sitting in Heights Court-yesterday. Following an altercation on the street Thursday, Mrs. Maynard declares that Maynard slashed her across the left hand with a razor, and cut her on the nose. The woman entered a complaint against Maynard and he was arrested by Detective Garvey of the West 135th street station. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, SATURDAY, AUG. 27, 1927 So Says Mrs. E. D. Cannady, an Attorney of Portland, Oregon, Who Came Here as a Delegate to the Pan-African Con- By CLIFFORD L. MILLER "I DRESS to vamp the judge," said the charming attorney, Mrs. E. D. Cannady, of Portland, Oregon. I had met her at the Pan-African Congress. She had impressed me as personality plus—so the interview! I itched with curiosity to know what she thought of modern tendencies in feminine dress, and dared ask her, as she has not bobbed her lovely wealth of straight black hair and her skirt hangs at a conservative length. Mrs. Cannady has a soft but decisive voice. "Perhaps I'm a little bit old-fashioned for this new day that is upon us. I have no objection to its fads only I think, a woman ought to dress discriminately to express her own individuality." I had observed that in dress she had attained her ideal. these two influential sisters with my spirit. We found ourselves loving one another and wishing all men were just like us—what a joyous world this would bel. Without advertising we decided to carry on the contagion of our spirit. Social She continued: "I don't smoke—I don't want to because every one else does. I want my skirt never to be so short that I'm embarrassed when I sit down. I dress to look feminine and as pretty as I can. Men enjoy beauty. The judge and jury are impressed by it. It is permissible for women to use powder, rouge and lipstick with moderation if they heighten their charm. Of course, I don't believe in the painted woman. I only know looks are a factor in dealing with the men, which no woman can afford to overlook." This golden brown woman with a wife and brown eyes is the wife of E D Cannady, editor of The Advocate, only Negro newspaper in the State of Oregon. They are the parents of two boys—George and Ivan, ages 11 and 14. The younger is entering high school this fall. There is romantic glamour that adorns this union. Before 1912 E.D. Cannady and his wife had never seen each other, -but through friends had been intrigued to exchange letters purely platonic. In the summer of 1912 she purchased a round trip ticket to visit points in the West. She never used her return ticket after visiting in Portland—never wanted to. While Mrs. Cannady is a public pirted woman, she is domestic and bears the reputation of being very hospitable. She has with her a lovely Spanish shawl with gorgeous scarlet flowers which, I understand, she made using her spare muscles. She was born in the little hamlet of Littig, Texas, and studied and graduated from Wiley College; took her is at the Northwest College of Portland, and even now studies during the summers at the University of Oregon, anticipating a higher degree some day. "How much of a Negro population is there in Portland?" I asked. She was at a moment's notice able to juggle with figures at ease. She replied, "We have three thousand colored people, and we are gradually increasing. For the most part we are buying our homes in all parts of the city. We have one large hotel, a newspaper, three modern barber shops, a confectionery, beauty parlor for wealthy people, a branch W. W. C. A., three churches and two missions. "From the economic standpoint it is very difficult for one of our race to find other than mental work, yet we have two postal clerks, one shoe clerk, two stenographers in white offices, a clerk of the Child Labor Commission in the court house, three men in the express business, one dentist, and physician and two attorneys." I wanted to know about the Negro and crime: "Our people never commit—almost never—any serious crimes like murder. Bootlegging and gambling are the chief offenses. These are perpetrated generally by the sporting element in our midst." "What is the chance of a Negro getting a foothold in Oregon other than in Portland?" I asked. She became enthusiastic as she answered me: "Oregon does offer the Negro a chance in lumbering and agriculture. Many migrants from the South are drafted annually for the lumber industry. "My State restricts the Japanese in owning land, but the door is open for us. Much of the State is yet unoccupied. The land is wonderfully fertile and will grow almost anything. The State would welcome good farmers." She told how all legal restrictions hampering the Negro had been removed, and while the State is far from being a paradise the relations between the races are improving. This proved by far her high spot in the interview. "I am, as you know, the northwestern organizer of the N. A. A. C. P. I'm a loyal supporter of all it stands for; yet, I'm using an instrument to improve race relations in Oregon most effectively without an organization." "What is it?" I asked, vibrating with curiosity. "I create, am creating a spirit of love between whites and blacks of Portland. Fighting back does not get us anywhere." "You are, then, improving race relations without organization? Pray, tell me of its origin." I demanded. "Just how it began is something of a mystery to me. I have two white friends—I suppose I won ledge," said the charming attorney, of Portland, Oregon. I am-African Congress. She had us—so the interview! I itched she thought of modern tended ask her, as she has not straight black hair and her length. these two influential sisters with my spirit. We found ourselves loving one another and wishing all men were just like us—what a joyous world this would be! Without advertising we decided to carry on the contagion of our spirit. Social occasions were used to get across our propaganda. 'You don't know what you're missing, if you don't know the Negro-at his best.' "Our message of love between white and black began to sweep our State like a forest fire until it is the popular thing for one to be conversant on interracial issues and problems. We three women call ourselves the "Three Muskeeteers," fighting with the sword of love, which is invincible. "Throughout our entire State the white children in grade and high schools are being taught the history of the Negro. We first won over the teachers of history and art. Now, it is the expected thing to collect all literature on the Negro. I find myself anticipating each new day with new joy, so great is my privilege to preach the gospel of love as the one thing which is solving the Negro problem." Last night her gospel was heard in Inglewood, the summer home of Ray Wilhelm, a wealthy Wall Street broker, I found myself wishing I could hear more of what this remarkable woman is achieving for the good of her people, regretting that at the Pan-African Congress, to which she was a delegate, that her labors were not shouted from the house-tops. Work Begun on Comfort Station Expected to Be Finished in About Sixty Days. Construction began Wednesday morning on the new $40,000 band stand and comfort station at St. Nicholas Park and 136th street. It is to be finished in sixty days, the contract having been let to the Carbone Construction Company, 21 East Fortieth street. The structure is being built to accommodate the needs of thousands of Harlemites who spend a great part of their time in the park. During the day the band stand will be utilized as a comfort stand and will with small children, and the seating arrangement will accommodate a goodly number. When there is no band concert at night, the stand may be used as a comfort station, as it will be well lighted. Money was appropriated for the stand in 1925 by Borough President Miller, through the efforts of the Citizens' Welfare Council of Harlem, Dr. Charles A. Butler, presided over by Architect George M. McCabe, 96 Fifth avenue, and will be the finest in the city, it is said. John Gilliard Pleads Self-Defense Self-defense was the plea of John Gillard, 23, actor, 35 West 129th street, who was given a hearing in Heights Court yesterday before Magistrate Flood on a charge of felonious assault upon Solomon Preston, 24, 420 St. Nicholas avenue. The magistrate decided it to be a case for the Grand Jury, and Gillard was admitted to $1,000 bail. Ball had formerly been denied him. The testimony disclosed that the altercation between the men began when Gillard is asked to have helped in Preston to Gillard declared, hit him three times and kicked him in the stomach. The cutting of Preston on the chin followed this alleged abuse, it is said. Leases West End Apt. Mrs. Wilhelmina N. Williams is the lessee of the five-story brownstone front private dwelling at 770 West End avenue. A sign on the front of the building, announcing that it is being rented for Negro tenants, has caused a stir in the Riverside drive section. The house has eighteen rooms, and is being divided into eighteen one-room apartments. Six tenants. Mrs. Williams says, have signed already. THE LADY OF THE RAIN Atty. E. D.

Froe, deed of deeds for the District of Columbia, goes considerable credit for the sound legal opinions advanced in the New York injunction controversy. The case, he has been one of the distinguished visitors who has been visiting here the entire week. The bad weather jinx that has masked the conversation on several occasions again made itself evident yesterday and was responsible for the small crowd that made the sail up the Hudson on the steamer Clermont. Because of the commotion and the attendant celebrations following Finley Wilson's election last night, plus the fact that the grand temple was giving its annual convention ball at the Renaissance festival the smoker scheduled for late Sunday by the local committee was not held.

At Thursday's session the right to use the prefix "Dr." was given to the statute of Florida when United States of Columbia, South Carolina, conferred the degree of doctor of laws upon him. "I have reached the conclusion that there is no use to fight Finley Wilson any longer, just so long that he is back to King Ferguson retain office. To my mind the fight, if it is to be made again, should be on all. If Bates and Curtor may hold office year in and year out then Finley Wilson, too might be held in office through and I'll climb on the hand wagon just as the others have done." That is what J. Dalmus Steele said yesterday when tackled inside Mother Zion Church and asked for a statement on his deafness. Bill Shands, veteran Elk of O. V. Cato Lodge, Philadelphia, who last year was campaign manager for Judge Edward H. Henry, was not presented for grand exalted ruler when the nominations were made yesterday. Bill, who, by the way, has not missed a convention event, was indicted by Elk he been indicted for magistrate by the Republican Committee of Philadelphia it was deemed unwise to make the run for grand exalted ruler at this time, since a grand exalted ruler has chosen his chances of election as magistrate. Bill lamented the loss of many old faces and said that the new president had been sadness (the film and some of the old-timers, in that they recall fond memories of many old boys who have answered the call of the Grand Ruler of the Universo. Looks like Bill Turner of Wheeling, West Virginia, got in wrong somewhere with the administration. Anyway, Bill, who was Grand esquire of the order, went down to defeat yesterday and the administration was not with him when he went down. Rather, it combined on W L. Jackson of Philadelphia what official, a member of Quaker City, Lodge, was unanimously elected. The grand lodge press committee this year was made up of livy Elks' Convention young men, headed by W. C. T. Ayers S. Jr. of Columbus, Ohio. Others on the committee were: Robert Nelson, editor of the Washington Eagle; Emanuel Bussard, bachelor of the University Party Lodge, Jamaica; James T. Fultz, Edward Lawson, Arthur G. Smith, attorney Chester Gillespe of Cleveland, Col. W. T. Johnson, Louis Lautier, correspondent, Washington, D. C., and C. Wilkerson. Charles E. A. Starr of Denver, Colorado, was re-elected grand inner guard at yesterday's session. An adjournment was taken in the forenoon to permit the delegates to enjoy the sail. The session was called again at 7 p. m. Samuel B. Mitchell, chairman of the committee on mileage and per diem, is a busy man these days. This important committee has been headed by the genial Sam for several years and under his care it functions excellently. Miles of obedience was won on Monarch Lodge, has been one of the most important personages at the grand lodge session. Yarbrough Chapman, delegate of Pride of Hudson Lodge of Poughkeepsie, is representing that lodge and session room, the Chapman who is representing the Poughkeepsie Temple, they have been enjoying the hospitality of New York for the entire week. Miss Ruth Matthews of Washington D.C. contest of the oratorical contest, held in Washington last June, was admitted into the grand lodge session last night and, after being introduced in an eloquent maneuver delivered in a speech, received in excellent address to the members. Those who heard her had no doubts as to the judgment of those who selected her as the winner. The charming little miss was forced to end her discourse a bit abruptly, and Saturday morning, before the convention adjourned sine die, she again spoke, making the order of the opportunity given the finish her education. Magistrate Louis A. Gottlieb and Judge Morris Senes were also admitted into the session Friday night. Magistrate Gottlieb, a member of the B. P. O. E. (white) made an appearance and included the members and thanked them for the opportunity of addressing them. The indications are that this convention will go down in Elk annuals as the costliest one ever held. Because of the slimness of the crowd an additional cost has been added to the annual.

MODESTY in professional circles is a rare trait, but in Paul Bolin's case it is a serious crime, for many people are robbed of a rare musical association with one of the race's finest musicians, as well as one of the most remarkable personalities I have ever known. One cannot mention him without mentioning his charming wife, who was Miss Mary Randolph, for, in truth, these two are as one I count as my richest blessing the beautiful friendship that exists between this lovely couple and myself. It is so beautiful that I seem to have known them always. I never think when it began—I only know that I am indebted to the late Mrs. Tapley for the introduction to these charming people. I cannot pass on without telling of a beautiful custom that we four enjoyed. After having breakfast one Christmas in their home, Mrs. Tapley suggested we meet each Christmas morning as long as we lived. It was decided the meeting should always be in their home once they quarrelled until one Christmas morning two years ago when two of us were absent, one because of fatal illness. I took my place again at that peaceful and happy table and shall continue until I too shall break the link. It is: like living in the days one reads of in the lives of the old masters, to sit and listen to Paul Bolin talk on music, politics, art, science, religion. What a wealth of knowledge does this well educated, cultured gentleman possess! How enjoys those excellent meals after they have enjoyed the aroma and the conversation. Ah, yes! Not to know Paul Bolin is to miss a great earthly treat. He was born in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., comes of a musical family, was taught piano early by his eldest sister, and at the age of eight he in turn was giving piano lessons. Mr. Bolin had charge of his church choir at the age of twelve and held the position for eight years. He came to New York at the age of eighteen years, won a scholarship at the National Conservatory, which carried him through his entire musical student days there, and then he in turn became a teacher in the same institution, taught for a while, Charles Hueeker was his teacher and friend while there, and the late James E. Hueeker mentions him in one of his own books as "my faithful pupil." Something worthwhile to be mentioned in a white man's book when the Negro was not as popular for literary material as he is today. Mr. Bolin is a most idealistic teacher; he in truth, teaches "without money and, without price." Artistic development of the pupil is the thing uppermost in his mind. No wonder women like Florence Herbert and Elsio Benson Bourke can come from under his tutelage and go into the teaching world with marvellous results. They speak truthfully when they term him the master. He has tried his hand at composition and enjoys the honor of being the only colored person who has composed, had printed and sung a Church Communion service. His "Holy Communion in G" who got none. And again, there were many who registered their autos, expecting to get calls for their service which did not materialize. The lodges and the churches, who prepared to feed large numbers, have also lost money, and whose money was invested in the church were losers. The rain, against which the convention has been battling off and on all week, again got in its licks last night, when, the downpour, the beauty contest, at the town hall, sino suffered, causing another loss in money to the local committee. Rumor has it that there will be an aftermath to the session here. Dr. Leonard G. Davenport of Passale, N. J., was grand organist for the twenty-eighth grand lodge session. The doctor, who has held the position in former years, showed his quickness in getting the organ into action at critical moments. DR.

Church, 1920, Mrs. Clarence Dickenson, wife of the professor of sacred music at Union Theological Seminary, herself a fine musician, after hearing the service sung, wrote him saying it was one of the most beautiful services she had ever heard. Mr. Bolin has been organist of St. Philip's for twenty-nine years and until last year he had never missed a service and then only missed one service in spite of an almost fatal case of quinny sore throat. He always plays the great organ in the City College for the graduation exercises of the Public School at 140th street. Many musicians have missed a rare treat by not having heard Paul Bolin at his organ, for that master knows his instrument and gives forth a spirituality that makes one all the better for having heard him. He gives us of music that God put within the breast of a true musician and nobleman.

When a hundred thousand visitors or more are suddenly added to a population of two hundred thousand, and when that hundred thousand are on a vacation, a certain amount of brawling, or at least disorder, generally develops. This week there was nothing of that kind. With the sidewalks crowded almost impassably at times, and the brown, forbidden waters flowing freely, there were no fights, no jostling, no disorderly scenes. The Elks carried themselves like gentlemen. The New York police compared this week to a May party. Not one Elk was arrested. We congratulate them on their parade. No one with an eye for beauty could fail to be impressed by that spectacle; it was amazing to see how many different artistic effects could be accomplished by the combination of two colors, purple and white. The artist which is in the soul of every Negro came out last Tuesday on Seventh avenue. In more ways than one the Elks have shown the world how far their race has progressed in the last decade.

After six days as a daily newspaper, The Amsterdam News will return to its former status as a weekly. The success of the daily, the response it met with from the public, are heartening assurances that Harlem New York is ready to support a Negro daily paper. The requisite population is here. When towns like Ossining, with a population of twelve thousand, can support a daily newspaper, it is absurd to say that Harlem, with nearly two hundred thousand people in a compact mass, cannot support anything but weeklies. With such a large population, the news is here. The experiment of The Amsterdam News has proved that there is more news in Harlem than a weekly paper can treat properly. What, with the hundreds of merchants and other commercial people, the business is here. The willingness to read is here. This was not always the case; there were many supercilious folk, educated or miseducated away from their base, who prided themselves on reading nothing but the metropolitan dailies. These people, happily, are now as rare as rainbows: our great populace looks forward to our papers with eagerness and reads them with pleasure. The writers are here. Fifteen years ago a Negro who could do standard newspaper writing was a curiosity; today Harlem has enough good writers to fill a newspaper from the first page to the last with first-class news, editorial, critical and feature matter. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Shr: Your editorial in last week's edition in reference to the Saco- vanzant case was so sound and logical that I felt that it should have a much wider circulation and for that reason I forwarded a copy thereof to the "Literary Digest" with the hope that it might republish the same. Very truly yours, (Signed) JOHN N. GRIGGS, New York, Aug. 26, 1927. Culture and Love To the Editor of the Amsterdam News, Dear Sir: Leola Lillard, assuming that culture is a standard of measurement for human conduct, attempts to frame rules for the primordial, prehuman, instinctive inter-sex urge which we call love. To write rules governing love-making as as futile as a treatise on the flight of frightened sea-birds in a storm. The premium set upon women of fine physique and of high levels of intelligence will not allow men to subordinate their actions to any hypothetical rules of love-making. E. Franklin Fraxier's article reprinted from the Nation is very timely. His conclusion that the life of Negro business depends upon the development of an industrial middle class should not be startling to thinking Negroes. The series of articles by Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University are very absorbing besides instructive.

AUG. 27; 1927 ONE of the principal industries around the great City of New York is keeping roomers. The house without roomers or the apartment without roomers is—almost as scarce as philanthropic Scotchman. And this is equally true for the white and black residents of glorious Gotham. As a matter of fact, with the exception of the small minority of New Yorkers who are well off, the term "private house" is a misnomer. The term ought to be "private hotel." When the clock strikes midnight a marvelous transformation takes place in the average "residence." Forks beds all sorts appear by magic. Gone are the sitting room, the dining room and the library. In their places appear a suite of bedrooms. Of course, New Yorkers do not choose of their free will to be hotel keepers, but economic conditions force them to it. The great tradition of New York is that of being well dressed—putting up a good front, in addition, there are presented to the residents all manner of ways of spending money that are largely absent in towns of the hinterland. There are the cabarres, the theatres, and all the other many diversions of the metropolis. One must keep up with Joneshes here or lose caste, and, seeing that the average resident of New York is not so much different from the average resident of any town, he or she finds it necessary to appear opulent in order not to lose caste. If Sam Johnson has a radio, a suite of overstuffed furniture, a bent-end bed, a Persian rug (made in New Jersey) and parquet floors, Bill Johnson must have the same. If Matilda Sniff has a $75 neckpiece, Susan Sapp will be down in the mouth if she doesn't also get one. If Gregory Gooft boasts of his two weeks' vacation at Atlantic City or Asbury Park, Jonathan Whamn will not rest contented until he can also boast of having had a similar vacation. If Helen Whooziss "threw" a big party, where food and dubious liquor were plentiful, her envious friends will not have met their social obligations until they have singed a similar or better affair. All of this, as one may readily surmise, costs money, and even $20 a week is more than the average worker draws down on Saturday; certainly few get more than forty iron men. Yet the demands of a city nurtured in the midst of luxury must be met. There is only a small minority that doesn't give a whoop about "keeping up with the Joncese"; the majority strives to make the social grade here in New York just as it does in Copenhagen or Bridgeport. Only the social pace is faster here elsewhere. Everybody wants a front seat in the orchestra of Mf—as Elijah Root once aptly said—and is willing to do most anything to obtain one. Added to the high cost of sterving is the high cost of renting. A large room is partitioned into four cubbyholes, and do we have a bedroom, a sitting room, a kitcheneat and bath, renting for $100 a month. This is truer among Negroes than among whites because the former are compelled to pay a heavy tax because of their color. In addition to the regular landlord's hold-up, in order to make the grade, one is compelled to take in roomers, at least one or two. The next resort is to the installment house. There, for $5 down (and $5 a week for the rest of your life) you can get gaudy imitations of the furniture and fittings purchased by "the best people." There are other resorts, such as buying stolen goods, selling bootleg liquor, prostitution and gambling. But what enables so many New Yorkers to "make the time" is the good old custom of taking in roomers. Some people wondered how Harlem was to accommodate all of the visitors during the Eke's convention, but I was never in doubt. I knew New Yorkers would be resourceful enough to find a way out. In the last resort the bathhouses could always be pressed into service during the night instead of being used to soak clothes. And the white folks who still own "private houses" on the outskirts of Harlem have been faced with the alternative of renting rooms to Negroes or moving out of the district. Most of them have adopted the latter course, but a very large number have adopted the former. There are houses in Harlem now, operated by white people, that have many Negro roomers. One place on Fitch avenue has whites on one floor, Negroes on another and Chinese on another. The actual number of such interracial rooming houses is surprising, but not as surprising as the fact that those mixed lots of roomers seem to get along very well together. All which goes to prove that economic pressure can bring about most any change. How many Negro priests are there in the Catholic Church? (Answer on Page 71) Intimate Glimpses' of Harlem HARLEM has made progress. It has made the kind of progress which has not been the lot of any other Negro settlement in the world to make. It has made spiritual and intellectual progress within a very short span of time—it has brought into close contact great masses of colored folk from all parts of the world, and in so doing has served to establish among them a common understanding of the ills which beset the race. This solidarity is general and not specific. It serves the race in its dealings with the white race; but it has not as yet served to produce intracultural harmony. This, of course, shall eventually take place; and until then the present conflicts and misunderstandings will continue to retard the general progress of the group. Harlem's main contribution to the progress of the race is therefore spiritual, not material. In material progress Harlem may boast of the finest churches owned and controlled by the race in any part of the globe. It can also show its material Civil The Most Valiant THE innumerable distinctions and discriminations which Southern States heaped upon the heads of the freed slaves immediately following the Civil War were so repulsive to militant abolitionist leaders, such as Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts and Congressman Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania, that pressure was shortly thereafter exerted in Congress to secure for Negroes civil rights legislation which would enable them to enjoy full and equal rights the country over. Accordingly, on March 1, 1875, a bill known as the Civil Rights Bill, otherwise entitled "An Act to Protect all Citizens in Their Civil and Legal Rights," was passed by Congress, and the fight was on to lift the Negro freedmen up to a civil plane of full equality. In the meantime, the valiant Summer had died, upon his fathering lips the words "be to it if I shall my works were completed and my Civil Rights Bill passed, no visitor or could enter the door that would be more welcome than Death." The bill was in five sections, the first two of which provided as follows: "All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall be entitled to have full and equal enjoyment of the governmental, advantages, facilities, and privileges of time, public conveyances on land and water theaters and other places of public amusement; subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law, and applicable COLORFUL By THE C PRESTON N.

"I plan to make this school a practical laboratory for turning out real leaders in social work," says Mr. Washington, whose past efforts and success shefur more loudly than does he, himself. Washington is a veritable pioneer in solving social problems by the use of modern methods. His / handwork and past services speak eloquently for him in such seething centers as Detroit, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia, where he frequently transformed interracial discord into mutual respect and substituted understanding and Christian faith for suspicion and fear.

GREY progress with a military organization and its armory, the splendid buildings of the Y.M.C.A., the Library, the Booker Washington Sanitarium, the Association of Trade and Commerce, a library and four first-class newspapers. It is impossible to estimate entirely, at present, the material progress of the community. It is sufficient merely to indicate the general outlines of what seems to be being and substantial material progress. It may be suggested, however, that the first milestones of progress have been reached and passed. This is so with every new settlement. First there must be the rivalries, the conflicts, and the internal frustrations; then must come the stable population; and then the institutional phases, which bring stability and love of community. This last stage has just been approached. Harlem is today in the institutional stage. This is attested by the churches, the civic organization buildings, the homes of the many fraternal organizations, and finally the rearing of homes with their characteristic contributions to the general advancement of the community and to the group. The businesses will come in the future, owned by the residents of the community; they will spring from the needs of the people. Rights for the Effort of Senator Cha By KARL F. PHILLIPS allike to citizens of every race and color, regardless of any previous conditions of service. "Any person who shall violate the foregoing section by denying to any citizen, except for reasons by law, applicable to citizens, without color, regardless of any previous condition of servitude, the full enjoyment of any privileges, facilities, or privileges in said section enumerated, or by adding or inciting such privileges, facilities, or privileges in said section and pay the sum of $400 to the person aggrieved thereby." Section 3 of the bill outlined procedure in case of a violation of the provisions of the bill; section 4 related to service on grand or petit juries, and section 5 made cases arising under the bill reviewable by the Supreme Court of the United States. In the meanwhile, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution had been passed, having the effect, among other things, of reserving to the States their special rights as sovereign powers over their citizens, and denying to the United States the license to infringe upon the rights of the States when exercised in accordance with the terms, spirit and intent of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. It was inevitable that the constitutionality of the Civil Rights Bill should soon be brought to a test before the Supreme Court. The test came in the form of five cases known as the "Civil Rights Cases." Two of the cases were indictments for denying to persons of color the accommodations and privileges of an inn or hotel; two were for denying to Negroes the privileges and accommodations of a theatre, and one was an action brought in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Tennessee to recover the pen.

The theatre movement and the general development of art centers and artists, which other groups have developed, have not as yet reached consideration of the race in Harlem. This to the superficial observer may appear strange; but to those who will take the trouble to study the central economic reasons for this lack of one of the essentials of progress it will seem natural. it might be suggested, however, that the arts will be cultivated only when the group will have had enough time for introspection and reflection. At the present time the entire efforts of the group must be centered upon the means of making bread and meat; and it should be evident to any mind that the hungry are seldom if ever interested in producing or appreciating art. In general education the community is making substantial progress. The schools provided for its use are some of the finest and best in the state; Negro and white teachers and instructors are blending their efforts and skill in the dry task of imparting the cultures of the past to the multi-colored residents of Harlem. Some time must pass before the success of their efforts can be estimated, but so far the indications are good. alty of $500 given by the second section of the Act, based upon the refusal by a conductor in the employ of a railroad company to allow a colored passenger to ride in the latest-styled cars. The United States Supreme Court thereupon, held the first and second sections of the Civil Rights Act to be unconstitutional enactments as applied to the several States, not being authorized either by Thirteenth or Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution. It was also held that the Fourteenth Amendment was prohibitory upon the States only, and that the legislation authorized that be made by Congress for enforcing it was not direct legislation on the matters which the States were prohibited from making or enforcing certain laws, or doing certain acts, but was corrective legislation. Upon the decision of the Supreme Court in the Civil Rights Cases, and in a contemporaneous case involving separate educational facilities, the privilege of the States to make distinct separations between the races in the matter of schools, railway cars, and the like, were recognized as lawful discriminations, upon which the States Rights' "Jim Crow" enactments of today have become tremendously forceful in all States which desire to legislate upon the precedent of the Civil Rights decision. The only real echo of the Summer Civil Rights Bill is found in the State of New York, where the Law measure prescribes full civil equity for all citizens. In two other States there are "gestures" on the statute books which theorize upon, but do not actually demand civil equality.

ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. New York City Negroes and Health Education T11E metropolis of America is having a steady flow of Negroes from the South. In the decade 1910-20 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, diet and recreation. Then, too, there is the introductory essay by Paul Green, Pulitzer prize man. It is a fine, broad-minded essay on Negro artists, written by the author of "Abraham's Bosom." It needs careful and sympathetic reading. Those interested in Negro spirituals have a recent feast: Oliver Ditson has brought out "Seventy Keeping By E.

These factors influence largely the health of a people and especially Negroes whose immunity is not developed against overcrowding and respiratory diseases and whose economic standing compels the pursuit of occupations which easily bring about heart disease and kidney trouble. Thus Negroes in New York need constant health education and need it badly. To do this job requires the combined efforts of the Negro medical men as teachers, the educated and influential laymen as promoters, and the Negro press as the immediate publicity. The immediate efforts must be to increase the agency of life among our city Negroes twenty years longer than it is at present. This lengthening in life expectancy will mean much to the Negro's economic salvation. The Negro's attitude relative to health details must be changed. The majority of them must tion between revolutionists that will take no count of racial stock. Can it be that Jackson and his "Red" masters are now about to accept the time-honored custom of separating the sheep from the goats, in a last desperate effort to plant the seeds of Communism in fair America? Is there more amazing, however, is Johnson's assertion that, since the great majority of Negroes of America live in the states, where lynching, political disfranchisement, segregation, industrial discriminations, etc. abound, "here the Communists can find a new field for action." What a whirlpool of inconsistency! Will "Comrade" Jackson kindly tell us how, if the abolition of such nefarious practices are dependent upon government, law, order, legislation and constitutional respect, the much-desired transformation can be accomplished by any Communist principle or action? What must form the basis of any great racial reformation, public opinion or public revolution? And if "Comrade" Jackson would answer that the latter is the punacen for the grievous "Ills" over which the "Reds" directed from Moscow are frothing at the mouth, may we ask how they expect ever to foment such disordered motivations among the peaceful people of prosperous America.

Love affairs should be guided into proper channels. Things will be a bit confusing for all these children, and it is best that they pick one thing and stick to it. Opposition and delays will be a regular thing, but no one need give up. Flight on! --- Should She Tell? I have a proposal of marriage from a man 22 years old. I told him that I would be 20 next November, when in reality I shall be 25. Did I do wrong, Ann? Shall I tell him the truth? Would the difference in our age be a bar to our happiness? Sincerely, (MISS H. A. C.) Dear H. A. C.: Girls fabricate about their ages so much that it's more or less expected that they're not telling the truth about them, even when they are. He most likely has his suspicions anyhow. I'd tell him the truth, if I were you. Now, while you are both in love, it could pass off as a joke, whereas if you waited until you were married, he might be inclined to take it more seriously. Start out on the square. Don't let him have the goods on you, because you are not marrying for quarrels. The difference in your ages will not bar your happiness. The vital point is that you love one another. Success to you. EGYPSY ANN. Parents Are Silent I wish you would advise me as to what course I shall adopt. I have known a boy for quite a while. He is hard working, steady and loyal. But when I talk about him my parents turn a deaf ear. They are against him for some unknown reason. Furthermore, they refuse to discuss him calmly, but go off in a huff when I mention his name. They want me to give him up. I love him. Shall I? I have no reason to. Still, my parents are quite an important factor in my life. Sincerely yours. BETSY. Dear Betsy: Your parents must have some reason for their attitude and its their duty to explain to you. As it is, they're only antagonizing you and pushing you closer to the boy. I suggest that you tell your friend to go to your parents and find out for himself. It may be that they want to spare your feelings by not telling him. If that's the case, they'll have no such regard of his and will tell him the why and wherefore. If neither of you can get any explanation, there can't be any plausible reason. Sincerely, EGYPSY ANN. Beauty Hints BY MINA TEMPLE Salts A woman once told me a secret that she said was worth a thousand dollars to any woman who prized her beauty. She was dazzlingly fair of skin. You could see the red blood flowing softly under her almost transparent skin. She was as good as she was beautiful, for she would tell anyone her secret. It was this: Salts. She would bathe in it once a week—a half pound to a tub of warm water. Then she would take a rinse in cold water or a shower. After this, she would wash her face separately and carefully. She did not ever pull it downward but always up and up. After this she would mop her face with a solution of salts water kept in a bottle always ready for use. Now this bottled salts water she used daily on her face to keep it clear, but the whole salts bath came once a week. Every other day she used no salts in the bath. Since then I have seen this tried and the effect is marvelous. Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD Social Co-operation BREAKING a social engagement is a serious social error. When one accepts a social invitation he virtually pledges himself to shear a part in making the entertainment an agreeable success. Whether one has a special talent for entertaining or not he should feel bound to make some effort to add to the pleasure of the occasion. Remember you are just a part of the unfair and should not expect more attention than other guests, unless it happens to be a "guest of honor" affair and you are the "guest of honor." Those who attend a social affair with curious eyes bent upon picking flaws—and, who linger in jealous depreciation, or who, in a spirit of social rivalry, make a note of "points," become in their attitude a variable Achan in the camp; and a few such rude people can poison the atmosphere of an otherwise genial reception. Verily, they have their reward, for the stamp of ill-breeding is set on their quarrelous little faces. Household Hints Always leave enough water in a wooden tub to cover the bottom. If you do not do this, the tub will crack. Are your clothes shiny? Well, sponge them with a solution of one teaspoonful of ammonia to one quart of water. Press on the wrong side. World "Rilers" Steel Forest Fables By L. BAYNARD WHITNEY Spring and Fall ONE fine spring morning Sorrie Clover (the "g" is silent), employed in a Broadway hotel as an up-and-down man, eased in love with Mayble Flapper, a maid in the same highway house. This disaster took place while Glover's car crept upward between the basement and the top floor. The birds chirped cheerily and the swaying blades of corn bowed in the breeze—somewhere out in the country. As the elevator jolted to a pause the embracing Cupids flew apart. Mayble picked up her linen, grinned and flew. "Going down!" hollered Sorrie, and took his passenger to the cellar, where the heat of the boilers warmed his mind to his work. "Scuse me, sir," he said to the guest, "but I was thinkin'." Yes, he was thinking—of a jam-up party with his brand new Jane in a Harlem cabaret. At the ground floor Chief Wilson, boss bellman and lord of the lifts, guess the guilty Glover disapprovingly, as he struggled with the luggage of guests from abroad. "Four," said the Chief. At the ninth floor Glover wondered why they didn't get out; and the Chief remembered the morning's applicant for Glover's job. "Sorry, Chief," and they dropped to the fourth floor landing. Bronze brown Marble was a modern maid whose age it was hard to tell. She was rather good for the eyesight, and filled her clothes—just nicely. Sorrie would appear as a young, slick-heared skiff, but a more noble heart never heat beneath glad rags. This colored boy was a decent chap, but his besetting vice was romance. This love-mad pair threw a party one night at Small's Paradise cabaret—and how! It didn't matter to Sorrie that he danced dog tired, drank to dizziness and spent speedily—until the next day, when he woke up singing, "My Lord, what a morning, when the stars begin to fall." From that time on, Glover's lucky star began a swift descent. The little red wagon he had hitched to a star became somebody else's business. Chief Wilson had a new man in Sorrie's place to shine the brass and run the elevator. But not for long. Returning a few days late and all dollars out, Glover again sought his mould of the linen closet, and pocketed his job when the new man skipped. "I'm a lucky guy, I'll say," Sorrie, "but my gal is, carlyl's worth it." It was Glover's long day on, from seven until noon, from six until after midnight, and 'twas Mayleys chance to guest him clandestinely. Guests who escaped "The Bellhop Blues," placed their night orders mostly with Sorrie. "Oh, roll them dimes," sang this happy boy, as he leed each guest completely. This elevator boy was gleeful in cramming the bellhops' style. Toward the midnight watch in the hotel halls the lovers spooned and crooned. Bells rang and guests rawed at the hotel's high-priced service(?) The summer passed in days of outings, the剧院, dances and dangerous loving. Judging from the rushed hats and the familiar tones of voice of too many of Harlem's male population, Glover grew to realize that Mayleys was a "popular" girl. The truth was yet to assail him. Although Maybele wasn't considered a gold-digger, she played the dance with her boy friend's silver and greenbacks. Glover soon became sarply stricken with that popular mulatta known as "o-lend-me." The famous words of S. M. Dudley's song smote him constantly, as his repute for borrowing spread. "You could get it if I had it, but ———" "When Glover went in pawn, Chief Wilson perused his list of job hunters. Sorrie's goose was well done. Maybele's siren song, 'Nobody Sorrie Glover (the "g" is silent), way hotel as an up-and-down in Mayble Flapper, a maid in while Glover's car crept up and the top floor. The birds flying blades of corn bowed in the country. a pause the embracing Cupids on her linen, grinned and flew. but my baby can get my love," was what kept our hero broke. However, having known the bliss of ignorance. Sorrie was fast approaching the folly of wisdom. One day he saw Mayble with another man. Dramatically he approached the pair. Filling his lungs with the crisp autumn air. he delivered his tirade. The maid of the liften closet avoided her lover's gaze. "What is this young woman to you?" he asked the man. The stranger regarded him with a blase air of sophisticated amusement. "She's only my wife," he replied lacronically, "and she's nearly forty." Broke, busted and disgusted, Sorrie Glover stood as silent as the "g" in his name, while Mayble, her husband, and the world moved on. DEEP STUDY: Enthuse in the Spring; Repent in the Fall.

It has been found that two or three doses of a drug will drive out the parasites, and sanitary measures are relied upon to stop recurrent pollution of the soil. Work of suppressing this disease was taken up by the Rochefeller Foundation in 1913 and is now going on in various tropical and semi-tropical countries after an almost complete success in driving it out of our Southern States. The annual report of the International Health Board, which records this great triumph, also records that its research experts have traced malaria to a single type of mosquito and it is starting out now to suppress malaria, working in conjunction with the health departments of states and countries where this disease most prevails.

ATTENTION FOCUSSED ON MORRISON HARRY WILLS' foul of Jack Sharkey started the ball rolling, and the result is that the New York Boxing Commission has issued an edict that the foul line on a boxer's body shall be much lower. TO allow Jack Britton, former welterweight champion, to meet Georgia Levine, a white fighter who was beaten by Jack McVey at the Commonwealth, at the Dexter Park arena Monday night, the commission raised the age limit to forty years. TO keep Jack Johnson out of the game, the boxing authorities made the limit thirty-eight, thereby denying Jack the chance to fight in this state. Which, when you think of it, again proves that the colored man is so close to the white brother in this country their efforts, tinged with injustice, forces them deeper into the contempt of true sports, as they are bound to reverse themselves every time. In another column of this page we note that Philadelphia is beaming the lack of interest in cricket by those who once made much over the old English game. New York at one time decided there were enough adherents of the game here to make it worth while and matches were staged at the, local fields that brought our hundreds. But some wise birds, believing in getting all they could while returning as little as possible, got at the heim and the first thing we knew the boys from the islands had to return to the parks, where admission could not be charged. THAT stalwart Pittsburgh prominent Philadelphia and brilliant columnist, W. Rollo Wollson, dropped on in on us yesterday afternoon and opined that too much was going on during the week in this old neck of the woods for him to remain in the Silent City and not join in the big doings Rollo is getting better looking and more experienced and the old basketball court artist joined with us in admitting that the Eosey rooter never looked better in his life. Millrose Games at Staten Island Sept. 1 The Milrose Athletic Association will be represented at the National 10-mile run championship on Sept. 17 at St. George, S. L. by Frank Titterton, Metropolitan 10-mile and national 15-mile champion; Frank Ward, who has shown more promise than any other local distance runner in the past year, and John Costello, the club's veteran long distance runner. Eddie White, the former Holy Cross marathon runner, who won the Brooklyn Sea Gate marathon back in 1914, has started his preliminary training to win a place on the American Olympic marathon team and will be a starter in the national 10-mile this year. He is a resident of Staten Island and will also compete for the special prize offered for the first Staten Island race. At the present time the fight for this prize is expected to be between White and Mike Dwyer, another veteran long distance runner, who formerly competed for the Mohawk Athletic Club. Ed Weatherdon, the former New York University weight thrower and high jumper, who annexed Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate championship honors while competing for N. Y. U., has been showing some of his old-dime form in training and has filed his entry in the 2014 All-Star game and shot-put in the hope of winning the special prize offered to the athlete having the best individual score. Coach Byrd Returns to Fla. A. and M. College After a tour of the State of Florida in the interest of the Florida A. & M.

Last year was Jazz Byrd's first attempt to coach after a howling career as an athlete at Lincoln University featuring in 85 yard runs and a dazzling, wiggling jump to elevate men in front of him.

H. Robinson MUCH EXPECTED OF MORRISON New Lincoln Univ. Coach Had Great Experience on the Gridiron. The football world is looking forward with great anticipation to activities on college grids in the East the coming season. Foremost in the limelight will be Ted Morrison, formerly coach at Howard University, one of the most popular men it has ever fallen to the good fortune of old Howard to place at the head of her gridiron warriors. His friends believe that he has been the victim of unfortunate circumstances in his career as coach. Coming to Howard after having been a star guard on Tuft's College, playing on a team which defeated Harvard and Princeton, an exceptional career as coach was expected of him. The first year he more than lived up to expectations. In successive years the material was not up to the standard and Howard was defeated by Lincoln each year. This led some adherents of Howard to call for his scalp. Accordingly, Watson, a Howard man, was installed as coach in his stead. In two years of coaching the best that Watson could achieve was two ties with Lincoln. Last year Watson scored his first victory. He scored his second victory. Lincoln man have always maintained that Morrison was the best coach that they had played against, and attributed their defeat last year to the same cause which caused Morrison's poor showing at Howard—poor material. The unfortunate death of "Pep" Young, Lincoln's veteran coach who piloted Lincoln to her greatest victory over Howard, and only lost to Howard last year, gives Morrison a chance to vindicate himself by putting Lincoln in her old place of supremacy on the gridiron, as he has been selected as Lincoln's coach for the coming season. His friends and well wishers are looking forward to his work this season with the fondest expectations that he will show the world that he is, after all, the best coach in colored college football. Baby Joe Gans Defeats Dode Bercot LOS ANGELES. Aug. 26.—(Special to The Amsterdam News)—Baby Joe Gans defended Dole Burcott, Seattle Logger, at the Olympic arena last Tuesday night; the towel came sailing into the ring in the eighth round. Bercot is not the boy he was a few-years ago, but is still gritty and pucky and proved a stubborn lad to put down and keep down. Benny Furrell was unable to come out for the third round on account of a foul punch which he claimed he got in the second round in his fight with Joe Lucas. The punch lowed to the ringskids but the club physician ruled no and the fight was awarded to Lucas. Lucas tried to get away with the fight in the second round on a foul but the doctor ruled against him also. Chris Cardinez looked good and won hardly over Young Jensen of Denver in the special event. Hilldale Club to Met Crack Bushwicks This Sunday The Hilldale Club of Darby, Pa. one of the best colored teams in the country, will oppose the Bush wicks in two games Sunday afternoon at Dexter Parks. The Hilldales have made the games they played with the Dexter Parkers more than interesting, and the Kandy Kids, although tied in this season's series with the Pennsylvanians, have in the past experienced considerable trouble in winning. Nap, Winters, one of the best southpaw hurlers in the colored lefty, will take the slab against Lefty Parkers in the Dexter Cockrell, a capable right-hander, pitch for the Keystone State team against either Joe Kelser or Bill Hockenbury for the Bushwicks in the nightcap.

Tiger Flowers will make his bow at Madison Square Garden again the coming Thursday night and a howling mob of enthusiastic fistic fans will be on hand to see the Georgia' Peach in action. When they robbed Flowers of the decision in his fight with Mike McTigue, the Tiger was the first man to congratulate Mike and the crowd liked him for his remarkable display of true sportmanship. When the news came to town that they had robbed the Tiger of the title and gave it to Mickey Walker, many a white fan sympathized with the Georgia Deacon and his popularity never waned. Thursday night he is meeting one Joe Anderson in a warm-up for other fights, which, we understand, have been made for the popular mitt pusher. As a drawing card he remains one of the best bets in the country. Matchmaker Jee McMahon has rounded out a good supporting card for the night's entertainment. CRICKETWANING Fall Registration Expected to Be IN PHILAD'LPHIA Heavy at Wilberforce University Former British Officers Making Effort to Revive Old Game. Philadelphia, once the center of cricket in America, has in recent years sadly noted the almost complete decline of the game, and watched the interest in the national British pastime shift to New York, Boston, Baltimore and Chicago. Once the world famous field of Mannheim, Merlon and St. Martin's were the colorful scenes of competitions which drew crowds of enthusiasts to these picturesque groups to witness the international matches with the English teams which came annually to the United States. Today these fields are seldom occupied by the flannel-clad willow wielders. An attempt is being made to revive the waning interest in cricket, a group of former British officers who reside in and around Philadelphia responsible for it. These athletes, some of them former Oxford and Cambridge "Blues," are members of the British Officers' Club and have formed their own eleven with the cordial co-operation of the small group of local players.

There will be two two-day matches between the Canadian and Philadelphia teams, and a one-day match between the invaders and the British Officers' Club. Despite the average American's apathy to wards what is generally regarded as a too-tame sport, local authorities are predicting a rebirth of enthusiasm for the game as a result of these contests. NEW FOUL LINE IN BOXING LAID Age Limit Lowered to Bar Johnson Raised for Jack Britton. Boxing officials voted yesterday to make the foul line on a boxer's body five inches lower. The decision was due to the recent controversies over foul blows in suchights as the Dempsey-Sharkey and Delaney-Paulinoil matches. At a meeting of the New York Boxing Commission, attended by referees and judges of the State, it was decided the tights now worn by boxers would be altered. The change would make the belt line at the top of the hips and across the belt line. Any blow on the belt line would be fair, but below it would be foul. The Commission decided that boxers could use rubber protectors in their mouths to protect their guns. A report will be made later in regard to Commissioner William Muldoon's plan whereby referees would be required to consult two judges before calling low blows fouls. The age limit of boxers was lifted from 38 to 40 years, but all boxers from 35 to 40 must undergo a physical examination semiannually by three of the Commission's physicians. The new age limit will allow Jack Britton, former weakerweight champion, to fight "George Levine at Dexter Park Areena Monday. Britton had previously been, too old to fight.

The Los Angeles branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has won its fight to prevent exclusion of Negro bathers from Manhattan Beach, California, according to a telegram sent to the national office this week by Dr. H, S. Hudson, president of the Los Angeles branch. Manhattan Beach had leased its pler and bathing beach to a private individual for the sum of one dollar in an attempt to evade the Civil Rights Law. To test the legality of this procedure Dr. Hudson and three companions submitted to arrest and fine, and appealed their case. The victory is the more striking in that it shows the militant stand in behalf of civil rights being made by the city in which the N. A. A. C.

Their fourth victory in succession scored by the huge margin of 116 runs and 4 wickets, was scored by the cricketers from Bermuda in the fourth game of their tour against the team of the United Cricket Club of Brooklyn at New York Oval yesterday. Another century, the second of the tour, was credited to the visitors, who established a new American record in bowling. Following the example of C. Philpott on Sunday, Edward Swainson, captain of the St. George's Cricket Club of Bermuda, scored 112 runs in brilliant style, carrying out his bat at the close of the game. Philpott, who has the best batting average on the team to date, was again in fine fettle and put on 59. While he and Swainson were together they carried the total from 55 to 187, clinching the victory. C. Fox, A. Hayward, E. Hunt and E. Durrant all added doubles. Bermuda scored in all 222 for the loss of 6 wickets. The United Cricket Club team was dismissed for 106. R. Cook, with 31, and E. Knight, 23, led in the batting, other doubles being E. Carter and L. Gale. It was during the innings of the home team Hunt established a new American cricket bowling record. All told he sent down 14 overs and of these the first 10 were maldens.

Mrs. Ferguson denied this and testified that Mrs. Lloyd became the first offender when she grabbed her by the throat and choked her and put her finger in her mouth. A T H U M B-NAIL AC. COUNT OF JACK TOWNSEED By D. V. KANE Noticing the active aggressiveness and solid punching of a clean-limbed, tall, muscular chap when I visited the St. Nicholas Gym during training period, I approached him and garnered quite a bit of interesting material. This fellow was none other than Jack Townsend, the flashy colored heavyweight, a product of Texas, who carries his 198 pounds of muscle and bone as easily as a lightweight and who in four years has engaged in an average of 100 bouts and has won about 70. According to Townsend's statements, he has never suffered a knockout, but has fought many a hard battle, the toughest of those being a 12-round engagement with Tiger Flowers which proved to be a bitter struggle from beginning to end. Townsend is described by many of the ring fraternity as a huge, piny-boy, jovial and friendly, which qualifies have given him his numbers of well-wished friends. He does not claim to be the best boxer in the world—nor the worst—but he hopes to meet the crest of his class and thereby prove his mettle. Having traveled through Europe excavated his combat with one Rudi Wagner, German champion, which was saged in Berlin. Townsend was ill at the time, pronounced fit by a physician, he went into the ring and triumphed over Wagner, knocking him out in the seventh round of a slated ten-round bout. Away back in 1925, Townsend put the K.O. on George Godwin, but at the end of the game on Harry Wills, there exists a keen rivalry between himself and Godwin little of colored heavyweight champion. Townsend was the first colored man and is the only colored boxer to re-enter the ring. In the year 1923 he saved an eleven-year-old child from a runaway and was rewarded with a bronze medal. As a student of DeWitt Clinton High he played on the football team of which he was captain. Afterwards, he was awarded the Service Battalion, then doing telegram work, he began boxing as a pastime, which served as the means Sent to school by the Carnegie Foundation, he attended Northwestern university, and boxing professionally, the Foundation refused to support him in such capacities, the school in 1928. His first fight before the school was his first place in East Chicago with one Battling Cavanaugh. He won this bout and lost the second, the necessary stimulus to forge ahead. Townsend admits that the fight was not a bad match but like it because of its possibilities. He has always tried to show the fighters the importance of prove to the public at large that he is worthy of whatever praise they may heap upon him and incidentally to prove the race entire, even in the roped arent.

Aug. 24 (By The Associated Negro Press). — The Eureka Film Corporation is the latest addition to the ranks of motion picture producers. The company will specialize in the making of high class photoplays, using in the leading and principal parts Negro actors and actresses. The earliest efforts will be devoted to the making of western plays. In these thrilling and string characterizations they will have the services of two Negro cowboys, who excel any of the present screen stars in horsemania and western tactics. It is the purpose to surround these two men with an able and student group of white actors, and or degrees, through the medium of a school for development, establish an entire company of Negroes for the purpose of future production. A site near Albuquerque, New Mexico, has been secured upon which their studio will be built. This site was selected because of its perfect setting for the making of western photoplay. Later it is proposed to establish a studio at the building, with a full line of dramatic and comedy pictures will be produced. The entire staff of the Eureka Film Corporation is made up of men thoroughly versed in all branches of the industry and productions equalling the best offerings now available will be produced and distributed. The financing of the company's affairs is being done by H. R. George & Company of New York. It was only after much painstaking investigation that Mr. George agreed to undertake this task, and his acceptance is equivalent to a guarantee of success.

Recent communications from Europe indicate that Miss Florence Mills, former sister of "Shuffle Along" and more recently the particular feature of Lew Leslie, "Blackbirds," will be returning to this country within the next few weeks. Since closing at the London, England, Pavilion Miss Mills has headed the company on a tour of the principal cities of Europe, meeting with success-and adding to her popularity. When news reached the Prince of Wales that the "Blackbirds" were about to close their London engagement he sent his regrets. He saw the show about fifteen times.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. SATURDAY. AUG. 27. 1927 BEAUTY WITHOUT CLASS BEAUTY WITHOUT CLASS READ THIS FIRST. Ivy Trench thinks she can win Hannibal Thorne, banker, whose daughter she knows paper. At the seashore she saves from drowning by a young boy who is willing to help Hannibal Thorne. She knows he, but she says nothing. One day the boy finds him and finds him was only fooling. In her anger she tells him she knows he was exposing him. That night he buys a piece of antique furniture and she checks Hannibal Thorne. She resolves to make him undo the wrong. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) "Well," said Mr. Thorne, "it's time for my night stroll." He put away his checkbook and went out of the house. Ivy looked, after him and, then at Mr. Hall, who seemed to be in a trance. She sprang up, brushed past Mr. Hall and hurried out after Thorne. He was walking slowly toward the beach and she soon caught up with him. He did not turn his head — he was looking up at the moon. She walked beside him, seething. They reached the shore and stopped. "That moon!" he murmured. "It spreads a stream of stars across the water." "Poetic," said Ivy in spite of herself. "But you know I didn't follow you here to talk about the moon." "What did you follow me for?" "You know very well. It's bad enough to impersonate Hanbunl Thorne. He can defend himself as soon as he finds you out. But when it comes to cheating that dear old couple—I didn't think that even you had the heart to do it." "They were not cheated. I gave them fifty dollars for a piece of furniture that they got for nothing. If I'd been as mean as you think I am I would have got it out of them for ten, or even five." "I'm not talking about the price, and you know it! If you had paid them in cash I wouldn't say a word. But all you gave them was a worthless piece of paper, a forgery. What will Hanbunl Thorne do to you when he finds that his name was forged?" "Have you written to him yet?" "No." "Why don't you? I couldn't imagine a better introduction to a banker. Who knows what might come of it? Beautiful young lady spots forger for banker; romance ensues; wedding bells. Write by all means." "Keep darling me and I will. You're the coolest impostor I've ever seen or imagined. You figure you can keep me quiet while you hustle that cabinet up to New York and sell it to some collector for five hundred dollars and leave that good old couple in the lurch." "The cabinet is still here, Miss Trench. Why didn't you warn Mr. Hall when I left the house?" she purses because. She purses she was at a loss. She herself did not know just why she had not warned the old man. Now that she thought of it, she should have told him at once, but it had not occurred to her. Why not? as Thorne had asked her. Thorne took a newspaper from his pocket and spread it on a hillock of sand. "We'll sit down. Miss Trench, while you search your mind." She sat down without realizing that she had obeyed him from the very first time they met. A sudden fright leaped in her mind: she wanted to get up and run back to the house. She knew he would do nothing to prevent her. But she sat there confused, her wits refused to keep together. What on earth, she wondered, was coming over her? She began to recognize him, she did not dare give it a name. "Well?" said Thorne, after a long time. "Why didn't you?" "I don't know," she faltered. He turned to her, full face. In the moonlight his eyes seemed to grow larger and brighter; she felt as if she were being swept into them. She felt weak and scared. He began to speak vividly, and more rapidly as he went on. "You know, but you're afraid to say it. I'll say it for you. You didn't warn the Halls because you care more for me than you do for them. You haven't written to Hannibal Thorne because you care more for me than for all the Hannibal Thornes in the world. You've By AUBREY BOWSER Author of "The Man Who Would Be White" and Other Stories found the man you love——" "No, no, not!" she cried, wringing her hands. "You've found your man, and you're not going to see him behind the bars if you can help it. No matter what I am or what I do, you'll never give me away." She bowed her head, knowing that every word was true. He reached out and drew her to him; and took a look back to resist; and she did not want to resist. For moment he held her and kissed her; then her brain cleared and she broke away in terror. "I don't know anything about you!" "You know you love and that's enough. You're mine and I'm yours. Nothing else matters." "B—but I don't even know your name." "My dear, I've told you first and last that my name is Hannibal Thorne. Isn't that enough name?" "Oh, why will you keep up that mockery? If you really loved me." "I'd tell you my real name, which is just what I've done."

On Monday, September 5, two important business sessions will be held in St. Mark's Hall. In the meeting of the Federated Colored Catholics, will deliver his annual address, delegates will report, and Mr. Clark of Philadelphia will deliver an address on "The Value of a Native Clerery." The Federated Colored Catholics of the United States aim to bring about a closer union and better feeling among all Catholic Negroes, to advance the cause of Catholic education throughout the Negro population, to seek to raise the general status of the Negro in the church, and to stimulate Catholic Negroes to a larger participation in racial and civic affairs, of the various communities and of the whole country. It has the hearty co-operation of the highest authorities of the Catholic Church, Most Rev. M, J. Curley, Archbishop of Baltimore, being its spiritual director. The following are officers of the Alco By JOHN A A LCOHOL is a poison, unborn. It kills. All greatest race menaces Scientific research has every one of its supposed based on fallacies, ignorance pernicious disease-breeding, ALCOHOL is a poison. It imperils the lives of the unborn. It kills. Alcoholic liquor is one of the greatest race menaces extant. Scientific research has stripped this deceptive liquid of every one of its supposed virtues — virtues which were based on fallacies, ignorance and perverted tastes. This pernicious disease-breeding, race-degenerating, crime-creating drink now stands exposed as the poison that it is. The poisonous effects of alcohol have been well known by the striking experiments of Doctor Stockard, at the Cornell Medical College, to determine the hereditary effects of alcohol. It was found that in the case of guinea pigs, if one parent was of normal heredity and the other from grandparents to which alcohol had been given, numerous defective offspring resulted. The descendants of inbriate guinea pigs were found to be dwarfed, weakly, malformed, sterile, and few survived more than a few days. Liquor lowers your resistance against disease. If it did nothing else this alone would be ample justification for abstaining from it. Experiments with alcohol upon non-users show an increased excretion of nitrogen due to the destructive effect of the alcohol upon the body. After the body has acquired toleration for the alcohol the protein excretion is lowered, but there follows a greatly increased excretion of uric acid. Now uric acid is commonly destroyed by the liver and so lowers as the liver functions normally and is not overwhelmed by this acid little or none is excreted through the kidneys. The burden of destroying the alcohol falls heavily upon the liver and impairs this (we call this cirrhosis, death from which the Metropolitan Life insurance Company says is increasing), so that its ability to destroy uric acid is greatly reduced. The kidneys are also impair- SPECIAL SALE --- Monday, August 22nd, to Monday, August 29th Sale on Two-Family, on Plot 25x100 - Private Driveways - Streets Paved - Sidewalks and Curbing All Modern Improvements - New Section Opened for Colored - One Block From Subway $1,000 Cash, Balance on Mortgages WALTER E.

The Challenger people thought I was going to sue them for libel, so they hurried out their next issue with this." But the light of the match, under the headline, "A Public Apology," Ivy saw the photograph of the man beside her, and beneath it was the name, Hannibal Thorne. An article of two hundred words followed, apologizing for the regretful mistake of the preceding issue, in which a make-up man newly employed by the paper had put over Mr. Thorne's name the picture of another man whose wife was suing him for divorce. Ivy felt as if the landscape were going round and round. Thorne laughed and pulled her into his arms again. "Now, sweetheart, expose me to Hannibal Thorne." Federated Colored Catholics: Most Rev.

The lungs are also injured by alcohol. Then, dear reader, have you any doubts as to the cause of rheumatism, Bright's disease, and other diseases that are so common users of alcohol? And imagine a patient quitting a doctor's treatment when stopped from drinking. Some think drinking liquor and during disease go hand in hand. Alcohol users show a death rate in pneumonia that is far higher than that among total abstainers. Alcohol impairs, more or less. every tissue, organ and function of the body. It does not aid digestion, but actually binders it, especially in cases in which the digestion is already weak or slow; hence its use with meals is absolutely pernicious, unscientific and irrational, as well as its use as an aid to feeble digestion. Any apparent stimulation caused by alcohol is due to the chemical action of the tissues its first contact with the tissues an effect similar to that caused by strong acids, a hot iron, or any other gross irritant. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, director of the Battle Creek Santarium, says: "The mystic spell by which this subtle drug has held the race in boudage is broken at last. By the refined detective methods of the modern laboratory, the impostor has been exposed, and alcohol can no longer play the role of amiable stimulant which has for centuries given it first place in the doctor's list of remedies and every first aid' outfit. It is then rapidly to find its place among the most other discarded drugs which are under reputation when science was in its infancy and unable to discover their deceptive character, but are unable to stand the searchlight scrutiny of modern laboratory methods."
