McAdoo "Quits"
THAT'S very interesting: to have a fellow "declining" something which nobody is going to offer him. So McAdoo decides not to be nominated on the Democratic ticket for President of the United States—and nobody has ever yet decided that he ever could be nominated.
And yet he decides to "quit." That is like the man who shouts back: "I resign!" after he has been emphatically told: "You're fired!" Perhaps later we may hear that Cole L. Please of South Carolina has decided not to be President of France.
But McAdoo "withdraws." Well, everything means something else; nothing is absolutely meaningless, not even in the words and deeds of an ordinary politician. And, so, there is some meaning in this action and these queer words of McAdoo.
It means that the McAdoo crowd have decided on that course as about the only way in which they could hurt the chances of Governor Alfred Smith of New York. They mean to hint: "Now, since McAdoo has declined something which he cannot get, it's up to you, Governor Smith, to decline something which you have at least some chance to get."
McAdoo withdraws for "party harmony." That is supposed to hint that, if Smith stays in the race, he will be responsible for all the party disharmony—as if there was ever any real harmony between Northern and Southern Democrat, since the days of Stephen A. Douglas.
They have compromised and pulled together at times, like those who "compound a felony"—but there can be no real harmony between the type of civilization represented by Alfred Smith and that supported by McAdoo—none between Democratic decency and Democratic kluxism.
We have not yet decided whether we want either one of these Democrats for President; but we have long ago decided that, as between McAdoo and Smith, we would choose Smith a thousand times before we ever thought of McAdoo.
The American Legion
THE American Legion is the demonstration of the truth that war does not foster tolerance but blotry; that it does not promote democracy but tyranny; that it does not create brotherhood but hate.
As soon as the white American soldiers returned from France and organized the Legion in America one of its first influences for evil was in segregating and trying to humiliate the black soldiers who had stood with the whites side by side in the trenches of war. Since that time the Legion has chiefly dogged the steps of liberal thinkers, hounded the life of conscientious teachers, and done its best to suppress all the frank expressions of opinion, to destroy all the liberty and to cow all the courage for which it was supposed to have battled in Europe.
If the American Legion did any good by its campaigns abroad, it would certainly negative all that good if it ever succeeded fully in its campaigns at home.
Find "Sie" Lawson's Body in Harlem River
According to a letter received yesterday from Jessie Brown, formerly of the vaudeville team of Brown and Lawson, a body pulled out of the Harlem River has been identified as that of Robert "Sie" Lawson, 29, former elevator operator. 124 West 143d street. In last week's issue of The Amsterdam News Lawson was reported as having been missing from his residence for three weeks. It is believed he committed suicide. Dependency over illness, which prevented him from working, is believed to have driven him to end his life.

POPE B. BILLUPS NOMINATED FOR MUNICIPAL BENCH
Both Political Parties Nominate Harlemites for Alderman and Assemblyman in 19th and 21st Districts Rufus Perry Nominated for City Court in Brooklyn
With comparative peace and small opposition pervading the New York primaries passed into history. Three Negro candidates were nominated for Alderman, one for the Assembly and two for judgeships.
Dope B. Billups, Republican representative for the bench in the Municipal Court, triumphantly led the Republican field in what was perhaps the most interesting feature of the primaries. Through a tardy decision Billups' name had not been placed on the Republican ballots, and his supporters were forced to write his name in putting him over.
George E. Hall and Henry W. Shields in a hectic last moment rally cocluded successful campaigns for positions on the regular Democratic ticket, the former for the Assembly and the latter for re-election to the Board of Aldermen. On the Republican side, the wreath of victory was jointly borne by Fred R. Moore and John Clifford Hawkins for Alderman on the Republican side in Nineteenth and Twenty-first Assembly districts respectively.
PERRY IS BROOKLYN
NOMINEE.
Over in Brooklyn Rufus L. Perry, who leads a strong contingent, was nominated on the Socialist ticket for judge of the city court. The attorney in an interview with a reporter of the Amsterdam News stated that in his opinion the final issue in November would dissolve itself into a factional clash between the Democratic and Socialist parties.
NOMINEES CONFIDENT.
All of the contestants are voicing confidence that the final show down will see them emerge victoriously.
Two Charges Hold Alleged Burglar
McNamara Charged With Apartment and Tailor Shop Thefts
Arraigned on two separate charges of burglary, George McNamara, 22. 264 West 129th street, was held without bail for the Grand Jury, Monday, by Magistrate Silberman in Heights Court. He is said to have confessed to burglaring a store and a private home.
On Sept. 20 Dawkin Easy, 37, 205 West 141st street, said that McNamara entered his apartment by forcing a window in the airshaft and stole a $15 bracelet belonging to Ianthe Harrison, and two men's suits, the property of Arthur Brown, Easy caught him, he said, and made him disrobe, and the bracelet was found in his possession. Detectives Garvey and Flinter were summoned from the West 125th street station, and they placed McNamara under arrest.

JEALOUS WIFE SLAYS HUSBAND; GIVES SELF UP
Followed Him to the Basement Apartment Where He Was Having Dinner With Another Family
Nancy Johnson, 35, 1343 Fifth avenue, killed her husband, Frederick. 45, by stabbing him with a potato knife Saturday afternoon in the basement apartment of Julia Woodson, 17 East 113th street, where Johnson had gone to have dinner after refusing to eat at home with his wife, who is said to have been jealous of Mrs. Woodson. Mrs. Johnson, who wept bitterly, saying that she did not mean to kill her husband, was placed under arrest and arraigned in Harlem Court Sunday on a charge of homicide.
According to the police, Mrs. Johnson followed her husband to the Woodson apartment, where he was eating with Mrs. Woodson and her husband, David. She asked him why he did not come home and eat with her, and Johnson refused and told her not to be angry because he received a free meal. It is said. This precipitated a quarrel between them, the police said, and Mrs. Johnson accused her husband of being overfriendly with Mrs. Woodson.
She picked up the knife only to scare him, Mrs. Johnson said, but the husband rushed into her and tussled to get the knife from her possession. The stabbing, she declared, was wholly accidental and occurred in the struggle, as she had no intention of harming him. When Johnson fell to the floor bleeding, no one knew he was dying. This was at 1 o'clock, but the police were not notified until 2:45 p.m., at which time the Woodsons telephoned the East 104th street station that Johnson had
the bracelet on the bureau, but when they reached the police station they found it in his shoe. At the police station detectives drew from McNamara a confession that on April 15 he had robbed the store of Sum Shapiro, 36, white, a tailor at 206 West 146th street, where he forced entrance from a toilet window and stole twenty suits and two overcoats, valued at $555. McNamara is said to have and in his possession a pawn ticket or one of the overcoats, which was found in Jack Sobel and Co.'s pawn shop, 2728 Eighth avenue, and identified both by Shapiro and its personal owner, Isador Foxton, white, one of Shapiro's customers.
Autoist Held
Dobriner Zachery, 22, of 1047 Hoe avenue, Bronx, was held in $1,000 fall for examination next Friday. He was charged with driving an auto which injured Max Potasher. 62, 62 East 122d street. Potash-rided as a result of his injuries.

Bandit Pair Taken at Last
"Black and White" Team Confesses to Numerous Hold Ups
The "black and white" bandits, a team of a tall colored man and a stubby white man, which has terrorized chain stores for eleven months, were captured Monday after a street battle in Brooklyn. They form, police said, as successful a pair of petty thugs as has ever operated in the city. They even had a routine to their robberies.
ROBBED BY ROUTINE.
Thursday mornings they robbed in Manhattan.
Monday mornings they robbed in Brooklyn—generally getting the receipts which had accumulated Saturday night.
This Monday morning was their Waterloo. Determined, after months of work, to end the pair's career, the police stationed at least one man near every chain store in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Before noon the "black and white" bounties were telling of their crimes at Headquarters.

Mrs. Johnson was hysterical with grief and did not leave the apartment. They all at first believed him only unconscious from the loss of blood. Detectives Gallagher and Dougherty came on the scene and arrested Mrs. Johnson. Dr. Wilkinson was summoned from Harlem Hospital and he said that Johnson had killed a few minutes after being tabbed. Extra policeman had to be called from the station house to control the crowds that gathered in front of the house when they learned that a man had been killed. Johnson's body was removed to the city morgue at Bollevue Hospital.

THREE MEN BEATEN UNMERCIFULLY BY TWO POLICEMEN
Magistrate Silberman Suggests That Officers Bros man and Beverly Be Held for Grand Jury as Private Citizens
"This is the worst instance of police brutality I have ever seen," said Attorney John William Smith, 26 Cortlandt street, who succeeded in freeing his clients, Carter and Peter Watkins, 440 St. Nicholas avenue, and Joseph Reynolds, 24, 446 St. Nicholas avenue, charged with felonious assault upon Patrolmen Thomas J. Brosman and Heyward Beverly of the West 135th street station.

The Watkins brothers made a counter charge of felonious assault against the patrolmen, and Magistrate Silberman told Attorney Smith that the officers may be held for the Grand Jury as private citizens, and also urged that the case be laid before Police Commissioner Warren.
The trouble occurred, the brothers said, between two and three o'clock Sunday morning, Sept. 18, when the two patrolmen came up to them in front of their home and asked why they were out so late and told them to move on Brosman, the white cop, is said to have remarked. "We've just had three shots of liquor and feel like raiding hell."
The policemen then went down the street, they said, and came back shortly afterward and said, "Why in hell don't you go ahead," and drove off two other men standing with them.
The brothers turned and walked up the front stoop toward their home, and the two policemen came up behind them and, without saying a word, began to beat them with their clubs, they said.
"We resented this unwarranted attack," said Peter Watkins, "and then the fun began. The fight lasted a full half hour. Beverly, the colored cop, pushed me into the superintendent's apartment on the ground floor and beat me with his club. My brother, Carter, was being bent by the white cop and was bleeding in the hallway.
"Then they handcuffed us, and Beverly put a gun on me and threatened to shoot me. They walked us to the West 135th street station and beat us all the way. We begged them for mercy. Then they beat us again after we got there. We were later transferred to the West 123d street station and when we got there Beverly amnished me in the mouth with his fist. Then we were taken to jail." Hospital treatment was administered.
Both brothers were a mass of blood and their features were unrecognizable, even when they appeared for arraignment two days later, at which time bond was furnished by Junius M. Green. Four

Young Harry Wills to Die in Chair Tomorrow
James Mason, also known as "Young Harry Willa," a pugilist, and who is now in the death house at Sing Sing, following his conviction for the murder of James Hiss, formerly of 6 West 140th street. In 1926, is making a desperate last minute fight for his life. Mason is scheduled to be put to death at midnight Thursday, unless he gains a last minute respite from the Governor. Through the law firm of Battle and Bressler, 37 Wall street, and Attorney Ralph C. Warrick of 229 Seventh avenue. Mason had filed a plea for commutation of his sentence from death to life imprisonment, which has already been sent to Governor Smith.

witnesses testified for the defendants.
Carter Watkins said that four stitches were taken in his scalp and that he suffered a broken rib as the result of the patrolmen's treatment. Peter said eight stitches were taken in his scalp, and both men showed bruised shoulders and elbows.
Jenkins was arrested in the Heights courtroom Friday morning, when he went to appear against the officers, and was charged with simple assault upon them. Jenkins testified that when the fight began he "bent it upstairs and didn't come down."
Magistrate Silberman said the two officers had acted like "infuriated beasts" and "ravaging maulacs." He said that even if the allegations against the prisoners were true, "I don't hesitate to say the officers were inflicted more punishment on these defendants than any court could possibly inflict if these defendants were found guilty." All three were then discharged.
Bostonlan Sentenced For Assault With Gun
BOSTON, Sept. 26.—Russell C. Panks, 31, of Jay street, Cambridge, was sentenced to eighteen months in the House of Correction for assault with a weapon on Thomas Dignan, a white man, by Judge Harold Williams in Middlesex Superior Criminal Court, East Cambridge, Thursday.
Banks admitted shooting Dignan, who died in the Cambridge Relief hospital shortly afterwards, but Medical Examiner Charles Currier testified that Dignan did not die from the effects of the bullet, but that death was due to pneumonia which was contracted while Dignan was confined at the hospital as the result of being drunk and an unruly patient.
The trouble grew out of racial differences in the vicinity of Western avenue and Jay street, Cambridge. Numerous clashes between the two races had preceded the shooting.

CABARET OWNER'S STATEMENT CABLED TO THE WORLD
Anton Bragaglia Says Walker Told Him He Was Surprised That He Allowed Negroes to Dance With White Women
Mayor "Jimmy" Walker, who arrived on the Ile de France yesterday from France, interrupted his little game of pool while on the high seas Saturday long enough to deny the report published in the II Progresso Italiano-Americano in Italian, and translated and published in last week's issue of The Amsterdam News, that he demanded that two Brazilian Negroes be put out of the Cabaret Bragaglia in Rome, when he visited that capital city.
In a wireless message to The World he characterized the report as "silly," adding, "it might be interesting for you to inquire why this foolish story persists."
The Mayor probably did not know that The World had inquired why the story persisted by cabling Anton Bragaglia, owner of the cabaret in Rome bearing that name, and on Friday his statement was published.
Bragaglia cabled: "I'm glad to have the chance to state the facts. Mayor Walker, seeing two dark men dancing here, told me he was surprised I allowed them to dance with white women. I replied the reason was that I am a Catholic and the Catholic Church not only recognized black people as brethren in Christ but the Pope creates Negro bishops.
"But since Mayor Walker was my distinguished guest that evening, I asked the Brazilians in question not to dance. They were very indignant and explained they were not Negroes but Creoles, and, moreover, French citizens, although Brazilian born, and artists. They were members of a French troupe then residing in Rome, they said.
"I told this to Mayor Walker and he accepted the explanation. I also asked a friend of mine to tell the Brazilians not to dance any more because I didn't want any fuss. They left off dancing. Mayor Walker did not leave my place before everything was over, and never even threatened to do so."
Thus, while the report may have been "silly," it certainly seems to have had some basis in fact, if the owner of the cabaret is to be believed, and Mayor Walker may be asked to explain why he was surprised to learn that dark-skinned men were permitted to dance with white women in a country which knows no color line.
Two reporters from The Amsterdam News were assigned to interview Mayor Walker late yesterday afternoon, but the Ile de France had not docked at the time of going to press.

MASONIC TEMPLE PROJECT AIRED
Amazing Revelations Revealed at Meeting Concerning Business Methods
(Continued from Page 1.)
were made Saturday night at a meeting called by Daniel
T. Teagle, present grand master of the State of New York.
The meeting was held at the Masonic Temple, 155th street and Eighth avenue and there were present the grand master and his staff including Edward T. Shewood, deputy grand master; Arthur W. Handy, grand secretary; Harvey Williams, grand treasurer; Emanuel Kline, Joseph Pritchard, Thomas Thompson, Cornelius Hughes, Edgar Conyers, James Marshall of Ulica; Major People, Wilfred C. Carr, secretary of the Prince Hall Temple and Home Association; William Burns, Roger W. Griffen, Attorney Francis Giles, Walter Handy, John Howanson, William Tymus, William H. Harris, Sidney Davis, Arthur Simmons, and H. J. De Passo, who, although a director of the Prince Hall Temple and Home Association, the organization responsible for the erection of the temple, is a member of the building firm of Knopp and De Passo that has the contract to build the structure.
The grand master then said that not since his election on June 1 had he talked, but tonight he would tell the truth about the whole situation. And then Mr. Teagle began an amazing tale.
First, the grand master said that Joseph Sullivan, although grand master and the father of the temple plan, had not invested one single cent either in stock or bonds in the temple project. Teagle proved that he has purchased stock. Next, it was revealed that in the original plans for the raising of money, according to Teagle, Sullivan promised to obtain a loan of $100,000 from the mayor of Troy, N. Y. Sullivan's home city, which was never forthcoming. DePasso agreed that Sullivan made this promise. That Verner W. Tandy who was present at the meeting for a brief time at the request of the grand master, was paid for his services as architect of the building by the builders, although working for the craft, by arrangement of the Sullivan administration. Tandy said his fee for drawing the plans was $11,000, $7,000 of which the builder has already paid him.
Wintfred C. Carr, secretary of the Temple and Home Association, was asked by the grand master to explain the early plans for the erection of the temple. Carr said that the association, which then consisted of the following: Oscar Cassell. Carr, Mrs. Alice Campbell, H. J. DePasso, Jerome P. Ottley. Charles Thorpe, Avarm Wade and Arthur Simmons, with the following trustees, Joseph Sullivan, Arthur Schomberg and Harvey Williams, had originally planned a building to cost not more than $250,000. Mr. Tandy was asked to draw up plans for such a building and the firm of Knopp and DePasso agreed to build on Mr. Tandy's plan for the sum of $270,000.
Furnished from top to the bottom, it was calculated that the proposed building would cost around $300,000 complete. Mr. Sullivan, as grand master, injected the idea of a cathedral on the top floor, which caused a change in the original plans, necessitating the adding of more floors and the installing of an elevator, bringing the cost of the building alone to $443,000.
Cautioned by Carr, so he said, that such a stupendous plan was out of the financial reach of the craft in this state, Sullivan at that time then made the promise to secure $100,000 from the mayor of Troy. Apparently, Mr. Carr added, enthusiasm ran away with the bus.

SULLIVAN INVESTED NOTHING.
ness sense of the association, and they entered on the Sullivan idea of a temple that, when completed and furnished, would have cost $500,000.
This gigantic financial effort was being made in the face of the knowledge that the cost of running the Prince Hall Temple in a hired building at 155th street and Eighth avenue was done at a deficit of $2,374 the past year, $2,000 of which was made up by a temple tax of $1 on the Masons of the First Masonic District which produced only $2,000, leaving the sum of $374 to be raised in some way in order to meet just the running expense of the present meeting place of the craft.
Continuing, the grand master said that the sum of $433,000 for erecting the building as planned by the Sullivan administration represented infla-ted value. In this he was partly borne out by Mr. Tandy, who admitted rather hesitantly that he thought the building might have been finished for "around $300,000." It is said that when a loan on the structure was asked from the Title Guarantee and Trust Co., officials of that concern, when told that the building was costing $433,000, curtly refou-led, saying that the price for building was too great.
Referring to the $35,000 collected on the building fund and paid to the builders by the Sullivan administration, it was shown that this was the exact sum secured by taxing all the lodges of the state 50 per cent of their treasuries when the remple project was first inaugurated. Since then the collections, both under Sullivan as well as Teagle, were negligible. It will be remembered that the former grand master issued an edict that all Master Masons who failed to purchase a $100 bond would be expelled from the craft. It now is revealed that at the time

he himself had made no such purchase.
HOPE YET FOR BUILDING.
The ethics of a partner of the building, H. J. DePasso being at the same time a member of the Board of Directors responsible for the erection of temple, was freely discussed. It was shown that any request coming from the builders upon which a vote might be taken by the directors would be subject to a vote by the builders at the same time.
Continuing his revelations, Grand Master Teagle said that he would not permit any white man to come into the order and attempt to disrupt it or cause strife. Nor would he permit, the craft to be burdened with an impossible task, and, solely to protect those who had honestly invested their money, in bonds in the temple project, he had instituted court proceedings which would protect those bondholders first and the builders after. Mr. Tandy, the architect, then said that plans had been discussed with the engineer whereby the building could be saved and finished at a total cost of not more than $25,000.
DePasso, who said that he had put about all of his money in the structure, eagerly agreed with Tandy and helped the architect explain how the new plan could be carried out.
They said that by omitting the cathedral plan for the top floor, substituting for that a root garden, doing away with the elevator and using white terra cotta brick for the trout instead of stone, the building could be finished. If this plan was accepted, DePasso said, the $30,000 which the builders claim is owed them on the structure as it now stands would also be included in the $25,000. Tandy and DePasso asked that a committee of five be appointed by the grand master to confer with the engineer, the builders and the architect, to work out the plan. The grand master took the suggestion under advisement.
Concluding the meeting, Teague said that when he assumed the head of the craft in this state on June 2 there was not one cent in the treasury. On the contrary, he inherited as a legacy from the former administration a debt of $476.34. To untangle the situation which the Prince Hall Masons have been plunged in because of the temple project, the grand master said required tireless courage and ceaseless energy.

Woman Says Armstead, Pseudo Police Officer, Demanded Money
Emery Oxford Said to Have Been an Accomplice Gave Them $21 in Cash and $200 Ring
as Security
Robert J. Armstead, 31, auto mechanic, 133 West 137th street, charged with extortion, was arraigned in Heights Court Thursday and held without bail by Magistrate Silberman for a further hearing yesterday. Veannie Sloan, 125 West 144th street, accused Armstead of calling at her home with another man named Emery Oxford, not yet arrested, and representing themselves as officers of the law and extorting money from her upon the threat to arrest her on a charge of conducting a "bad house."
Detective Sergeant Battle of the West 144th street station arrested Armstead in the station house when he was brought there recently for investigation. He named Oxford as his accomplice in the extortion. Battle said.
Lift Collection to Replace Glass Eye
A collection will be taken up by the teachers in the Miller School
Miss Sloan declared that the men came to her house Sunday, September 11, and displayed fields, representing themselves as police officers, and made their threat of arrest in the presence of House Bailey. They begged to be det off, Miss Bailey said, and she gave them $6 and Miss Bailey gave them $15. "Is that all the money you have?" the men are said to have asked. They then demanded $50, Miss Sloan said, and she gave them a diamond ring as security for the $200.
They returned next night, she stated, and gave her ring to Fulton Brooks, a friend of hers, and demanded that Brooks give them the $200. Brooks gave the ring to Miss Slaim, but refused to give the men any money. While Oxford and Arnstead were arguing with Brooks downstairs on the stoop, a policeman approached and Armed fled in an automobile and Oxford disappeared around the corner, the woman said.
Heart Stops Beating, Patient Recovers
(Preston News Service)
NOROLK, Sept. 26.—William Jones left St. Vincent Hospital here Friday of last week apparently well and on the road to recovery from a knife wound in the heart. Jones was stabbed by a woman Monday night. Upon his arrival at the hospital in the police patrol it was discovered that his heart had stopped beating. To all appearances he was a dead man. Dr. M. S. Andrews, hospital resident physician, in an effort to restore respiration, gave the patient an injection of adrenaline, and the heart action, said to have been suspended for ten minutes, was assumed. Jones rallied, improved steadily, and in five days was discharged from the hospital.
BRUTAL OFFICER
ASKED TO RESIGN
(Preston News Service)
SHELBY, N. C., Sept. 26.—The citizens of this community are feverishly discussing the latest development resulting from the fight in a back alley Saturday night between a policeman and two men. The cause of the enormous amount of discussion throughout the town here is because the policeman, Fred Dover, has been asked to resign by Mayor Dorsey as the result of an alleged return assault made upon one of the arrested men on Monday. At the time of the second flare-up the man was in the custody of the officer, handcuffed and en route to jail.
RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 26.—Mrs. Helen Penny died Friday in her ninety-third year at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. Martha Penny, on the Pool road, four miles east of Releigh Mrs. Penny is survived by one son, ten grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Lift Collection to Replace Glass Eye
A collection will be taken up by the teachers in the Miller School in Newark to buy a glass eye for a small girl, whose artificial eye was broken when it fell to the floor while her teacher shook her for giggling in class. The name of the child could not be learned. A. J. Glennie, the principal, said that since school was closed he was unable to give the name and he could not recall it. He refused to give the name of the teacher. When the girl, who is in grade A-1, began to giggle, the teacher called her to the front of the class and inquired the cause of her laughing.
When the child refused to tell, the teacher shook her and the glass eye fell to the floor. The child was in an automobile accident several months ago and lost her real eye. Because her parents were too poor to buy her another artificial eye, which it is said will cost $25 to $50, the collection was started. The child, it is expected, will have a new eye shortly
HARLEM FIREMAN
HURT IN FALL
Fireman Robert Montgomery, white, 34, 319 East 156th street, of Engineo Company No. 59, 137th street near Seventh avenue, suffered a sprained back and lacerations of the right hand when, during a fire at 101 West 140th street at 1:20 a.m. Saturday, the stairs gave way and he fell through to the basement. His injuries were treated by Dr. Lynch at Harlem Hospital.
The fire was of small consequence, being confined to the basement. As the firemen were obliged to fight the fire in darkness, Montgomery could not see the broken steps, and fell through them. He is off duty on sick leave and his condition is reported as improving.

Playing With Pistols,
Boy, 3, Shoots Cousin, 7
Henry Voss, a three-year-old boy, shot his cousin, John Turner, seven years old, through the middle finger of the left hand Saturday while playing with two loaded revolvers in the Voss home at 1251 Webster avenue. Henry's father is a post office employee and his mother is janitor of the building.
John's mother is janitor of the house at 1256 Webster avenue. As both mothers were busy working, and Voss is ill in a hospital, the two youngsters were left to devise their own means of amusement. They ransacked the Voss apartment until they came across a .22 calibre and a .32 calibre revolver.
Delighted with their find, the boys played robber and other games until Henry pulled hard enough at the trigger of the large revolver to discharge the bullet. The children's screams brought neighbors who rushed John to Bronx Hospital in a passing automobile. The shot was found to be only a flesh wound. Detectives said that Voss probably had a legal right to possess the pistols as he works on mall trucks.
Start Movement for "Lily White" Body
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26.—A movement to make the Republican Party in Louisiana "lily white" has been launched by the organization of the Pelican Club of New Orleans.
Walter Cohen, Collector of Customs, is the target of the organization, according to statements made by its prime movers, W. C. Harder and Dr. P. J. Fletchinger, both white. Cohen is among the most influential men in the party in the state and was appointed by President Harding despite the opposition of the Senate.
"The conditions that exist at present ought not to be tolerated south of the Mason and Dixon line," says one of the club's manifestos. "Our aim is to restore the supremacy of whites in the Republican Party in Louisiana," he adds.
There have been indications in the last two years that the Republican Party is gaining adherents among the most influential classes.

What Is a Policy Slip, Anyway?
Magistrate, District Attorney and Defense Counsel Try to Decide
When is a policy slip not a policy slip?
This disturbing question was answered by Magistrate Silberman in Heights Court, Saturday, when Samuel Fox, 28, restaurant man, 166 St. Nicholas avenue, and five others were arraigned on a charge of violating Section 974 of the Penal Law. They were found not guilty and discharged.
"For a piece of paper to be a policy slip," said the magistrate, "it must be shown that it relates to a game of chance. Unless this is proven, then it is no more than any other piece of paper. Numbers and initials on a slip of paper must relate to a thousand other things beside policy
"In a similar case, a man cannot be charged with bookmaking unless it is proven that the horse named on the slip of paper found in his possession did actually run in a race and that bets were placed thereon in a game of chance."
This highly Illuminating bit of information came after more than an hour's spirited discussion of policy slips by the defense counsel, Bennett H. Solomon, 914 Brook Avenue; District Attorney John V. Burus and Magistrate Silberman. Patrolman Price and Howard of the Sixth Division, who both admitted entering and searching for policy slips without a search warrant, testified that Fox was found in possession of 134 alleged policy slips. The number of slips said to have been found on the remaining five were:
Charles Dazell, 43, 118 West 143d street, 129 siprs; Ruth Adams, 44, 6 West 142d street, 111 siprs; Edith Gibbons, 28, 238 West 144th street, 72 siprs; Marjorie Sipp, 29, 52 West 143d street, 83 siprs, and Anna Jackson, 26, 56 West 183th street. Another quantity of alleged policy siprs were also found in a trunk, the patrolmen said, at the time of arrest.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 26.—"The Constitution declares that the courts shall be open to any person seeking redress. When the clerk of the City Prosecutor refused to issue a warrant, he is closing the courts to someone."
This statement was made Thursday by Judge Stanley Struble, in Common Pleas Court, when he issued a writ of mandamus to compel Frank Lewis, clerk of Courts, to issue a warrant charging murder against John Bugganer and William Brasher, policemen of the Fourth district.
Brasher and Bugganer, it is alleged, shot and killed James Elliott, 87, 741 West Fourth street, a Civil War veteran, during a raid on his home August 3, last. They said that Elliott seized a revolver upon their entrance into his room and was going to shoot. Coroner F. C. Swing, following an inquest, exonerated the two officers, saying that they were justified in shooting under the circumstances. A niece of the victim, Miss Nannie Mayberry, in her mandus suit, filed by Attorney A. Lee Beatty, charged that circumstances in the shooting warranted a murder charge.

Boston Teacher Slurred Foreigners
Forced to Make Public Apology to Senior
BOSTON. Sept. 26.—Miss Harriet L. Crosby, descendant of the Mayflower and chemistry teacher in the Lyun English High School, was forced to make a public apology to the pupils of the senior class Monday for slurring remarks as to the nationality and racial identity of some of her students.
Superintendent of Schools Harvey S. Gruver demanded the apology of Miss Crosby on complaint of four Jewish students, who claimed that on Thursday a new student came into the classroom and he was assigned to a seat in the front row. Later It was alleged he was asked his nationality by the teacher and after he replied that he was an Italian, she remarked: "Oh, so you are another foreigner." The pupils further say Miss Crosby made remarks about the scum of Europe coming to the United States and about the fact that the immigration laws should be rigidly enforced. A Jewish girl, according to the allegation, began to cry after hearing the teacher's statements, who later went over to her and said: "I am sorry. I did not mean to hurt your feelings." Yet the pupils claim the teacher made other remarks about "these foreigners."
"The incident," said Superintendent Gruver, "a regrettable one, was brought to my attention with great force, not only by the Jewish students, but by other races, white and colored, as well.
"We will take every possible
means in the future to live up to the standards of the Lynn public schools, which must be free from all prejudice against race or creed. Any teacher who violates this fundamental ruling will be dealt with severely.

In default of a bond of $416 Joseph Hawkins, 174-14 108th street, Jamaica, was sent to the workhouse for six months Tuesday morning, when arraigned before Magistrate Stern in the Family Court, 153 East Fifty-seventh street.
Hawkins, said to be, a writer on one of the Jamaica dailies, was brought before the Magistrate by Probation Officer Samuel A. Gibbs on the complaint of his wife, Alice. Mrs. Hawkins told the Court that her husband left her for what she termed "an ofay lady," and that, while that lady lives in comfort and style, she and her child have received only $33 from Hawkins since she brought him to Court in June.

Pleading not guilty and waiving examination on a charge of burglary, Charles Williams, alias Charles Ward, 29, 112. West 128th street, was held without bail for the Grand Jury when arraigned in Heights Court Friday before Maxstrate Silberman. Williams was arrested by Detective Winterhalter of the West 135th street station the same day, when Max Borstein, white, 2545 Eighth avenue, pointed out Williams as the man who robbed his store the night of March 31.
Williams, who has served eight years in Sing Sing! is said to have entered the store by bending the bars at the rear door, breaking the glass and unfastening the latch, and is said to have stolen forty overcoats valued at about $200.
On Thursday Bornstein saw Williams on Eighth avenue between 136th and 137th streets, and followed him until he saw Detective Winterhalter, whom he asked to place Williams under arrest.
On Williams' person Detective Winterhalter is said to have found pawn tickets for seven overcoats which Bornstein said he identified as his property, at the pawn shop of Simon Brothers, 2379 Elghth avenue.

For more than a week Misses [earl and Susie Tate, of Wash-
ington. D. C.. were the house guests of Misses Henri and Elnorist
Young, 148 West 118th street. Theatre, dancing and dinner parties
were siven in their honor.
Both of these ladies, students at Howard University, are mem-
hers of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. They left the city last
Wednesday afternoon. =
THE FEMINIST VIEWPOINT
ea
ND he wanted to sue his wife for non-support! So
A goes a short news story in several.of the daily
papers on Sunday. telling of a Russian. about 50
Years old, who went tu the Long Island City Magistrates’
Court and asked for a summons to he served on his wife,
‘Vhe magistrate, bless his heart. explained to the man
that in this country a man has w support his wife. No
simmons Was issued, .
M least this foreigner coniessed his apparent belief
in equal rights and responsibilities for women. From the
swing of things these days, "twould seem that many men
—though ther are net beld enough to admit it—believe
thar women should either support them or make a nu-
ticeable attempt at doing so,
Some time the “supporting” proposition may take a
fifty-Rity, sixty-ferty or thirty-seventy ratio with married
folk, but even at that, the man should remain “the head
of the house” and a fair example of the “strenger sex.”

Their Color
Harry E. Davis, member of the Ohio Legislature, has forwarded to the N.A.A.C.P., 69 Fifth avenue, a copy of an important decision by the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County, sustaining an injunction against a white union for boycotting a restaurant because the proprietor employed Negro help who had previously applied for and been refused membership in the union.
The proprietor employed waiters and cooks last year, paying them union wages, and the union said nothing about it. This year, in April, Edward Whissemore, business agent of the Waiters' Union, and Martin Spiegel, vice-president of the local, demanded of the proprietor that he employ white union members. This the proprietor declined to do.
In the inception, at the request of their employer, the waiters went to Cincinnati to the international headquarters of the union, and applied to the secretary for a charter for a local for Cleveland. They were referred to Mr. Whissemore, who told them, "Nothing doing," and their efforts to form a local of the union ceased.
Thereafter the white union began picketing the restaurant, stationing automobiles in front of it which

of their employer, the waiters went to Cincinnati to the international headquarters of the union, and applied to the secretary for a charter for a local for Cleveland. They were referred to Mr. Whitssemore, who told them, "Nothing doing" and their efforts to form a local of the union ceased. Thoreafter the white union began picketing the restaurant, stationing automobiles in front of it, which bore placards and signs reading: "Wills' Terrace Garden is Unfair to Organized Labor."
The Court, in its opinion, states: "At this length these facts have been here stated, and from them it appears that there existed no real trade dispute; both the employer and his employees are satisfied with each other, the standards of the union both as to wages and working conditions belag observed. The employees wanted to affiliate with the union and the employer wanted them to, and they went to no little trouble trying to do so and were refused by these defendants solely because of their race."
The Court also says in its opinion, "The ideal of all union efforts is, and must be, the improvement of the social and economic condition of those who work, and the law seeks to protect the union in the fair accomplishment of such ideal. This boycott does not appeal to this Court of Equity as conforming to this standard. In its last analysis it is a case of white men opposing colored men. As this Court sees it, the only information these defendants could properly and truthfully give the public about plaintiff is that he employs colored people, and I do not believe these defendants care to advertise that fact as such.
"It does not appeal to this Court of Equity as fair for these defendants to say to the public that plaintiff is unfair to organized labor under the undisputed facts. The motive prompting this attack on the plaintiff under these circumstances cannot be justified by this court."
"This Court feels that, under all these circumstances, Justice requires that the temporary restraining order prayed for be granted and such order may issue on the execution by the plaintiff of a bond in the sum of $600."

and officials were asked to stand and introduce themselves. Representatives of the press were introduced and responded with congratulations.
Dr. P. M. H. Savory, vice-president and one of the directors, congratulated the company on the choice of Mr. Foster for the harlem field and the agents for the production of such large business. Mrs. Gertrude Savory, his wife and also a director and the largest policyholder among women, smiled radiantly on the agents, but refused to make a speech. Dr. Fordinand Theodore Reed spoke for the medical examiners and stressed how the agents and examiners are now able to do better team work.
A volley of applause followed the announcement that, in one week, $74,500 worth of business had been written, $38,700 of which was paid. D. N. Yearwood, first New York district agent, was pointed out as the one agent who would doubtless write $250,000 for 1927. T. Cowan, a honor roll leader of August, was held as a close second. William A. Joseph interpreted the spirit and loyalty of the agents.

DERLIN, Sept. 21.—President Hindenburg entertained Charles D. B. Kung, President of the Republic of Liberia, and his aldes at lunchon this noon. Chancellor and Fran Marx, Prince and Princess Boelow, Count Czekin, once Imperial Foreign Minister of AustriaHangary, and Minister of Defense Gessler were among the guests. Later in the afternoon Dr. Metssner, State Secretary, returned President King's visit, on behalf of President Hindenburg at the Hotel Eden, where the Liberian Chief Executive is staying.
President King is making a careful study of German industrial methods and is also interested in Germany's educational institutions. He predicts rapid development of his own country through the opening of new roads to the interior, which is being done under Government supervision.
Before the war Germany had more than 100 per cent of Liberia's foreign trade and in the last year has brought the figure to 50 per cent, with hopes of rapid improvement.

Cheering, frolicsome and proud Legionnaires, their wives, daughters and sisters, marched and countermarched the decks of the Anchor liner Caledonia before sailing September 8 at midnight from New York City. Noble Sissle, his wife and daughter; Harry Smith, Henry Anderson, George Jones and wife, made up a contingent from George P. Davis Post No. 110, Brooklyn. Sissle, Anderson, Jones and Smith were veterans of the famous 369th U. S. Infantry, "Hell Fighters," while in France.
Major Larkland F. Hewitt, Boston, and your correspondent are the only Legionnaires from Massachusetts in the party, and Mrs. Mamie White, Los Angeles, Cal., a delegate-at-large, making eleven colored persons completing the ship's passenger list of nearly a thousand.
The crowd on the dock swarmed and jammed, seeking vantage points to wave final an revolves when the last gong rang for "all ashore." Shrieking whistles from harbor craft, music of the bands and sirens, accompanied by a defening roar of humanity on the pler, made a dramatic climax which started the steamer onward to France with its increment of the second A. E. F. Invasion. A September full moon, a warm, breezeless midnight and the blinking stars made the scene complete as the liner sailed through the narrows into Ambrose Channel, passing Sandy Hook light, then off the Long island shore, thence to pass Nantucket lightship the next day and to face a passage on the turbulent Atlantic of over 2,700 miles.
There were several attractions on the ship to enliven the trip. Among them were the Wanamaker Band and the prize-winning Oneida County Bugle Corps. Another feature was the "Atlantic Ocean Legionnaire Revue," under the direction of Noble Sissle of "Shuffle Along" fame. After rehearsing four days, the revue was staged before a crowded passenger audience, including the ship's captain, officers and Legion officials. It was a scream. Sissle and his daughter, Helen, took the assemblage by storm with their dancing and singing.
Your correspondent was stage director and Henry Anderson was his assistant. The only property of any consequence was Noble Sissle's pair of "Pickaninny Shoes." After he sang that number, the shoes mysteriously disappeared. They were found the next morning by accident in a passenger's cabin. He had fallen asleep gazing upon them, with handkerchief in hand with which he had been wiping the tears away. Sissle also sang "The Dream of the Big Parade." Many of the passengers were visibly affected. The colored contingent on board received courtesies revealing a true comradeship.
The trip was uneventful. The only incident of any consequence was the discovery of two stow-

aways, who were lowered from the ship's side into a pilot boat off quarantine.
Midnight, the 17th, the ship arrived at the "Breakwater," Cherbourg. Lighters came alongside and transferred the passengers to the wharf, thence to waiting trains, arriving in Paris early Sunday morning. The "Unknown Soldier" memorial exercises were held before a vast assemblage on the day of arrival. The whole Legion convention fleet came into the different ports almost on scheduled time.
When the Legionnaires started their pilgrimage in France, they found on the outskirts of Paris and the far distant district fields of green. The famous war poppy was in bloom. Hundreds of thousands dotted the fields, making a beautiful picture of scarlet which the doughboys tramped upon during war-days hiking toward the battlefronts. The flower in its protentious beauty did not send out a fragrant odor, yet the grim reminder of the battle-ling path was still evident. They swayed and dipped as the winds blew, unmindful of their scarlet hue. As the tourists passed by these fields, inns and farm houses of rural simplicity also met the human eye. Simple folk inhabited them.
If the traveller needed refreshment, tankards of "Pinard" (a red wine) were offered as a token for America's soldiers and a welcome to the veterans of peace. Pinard is a relic of Gaul, now a part of France, when Aquitania and Helvetia formed the boundary line in the Roman era. Poilus filled their goat-skin bibuns and would share this red wine with their comrades in arms from America, as the rural folk did on this second A. E. F. pilgrimage. This wine is vinted from the sour grape, stored in huge casks of the oldest wood. The public inn sold it by the glass or litre.
Water in France is only used to bathe the body and wash garments. The French drink "Pinard" with keen delight in preference to nature's beverage. During war days the American soldiers could not acquire a taste for it, yet clear water was so scarce that "Pinard" was the only drink that could be obtained to quench the thirst. The Pollus could not understand why Americans drank it in such small quantities.
Far away from Paris are the battle-fields and cemeteries. These are sacred spots. Your correspondent will never forget them when viewing again the place where a French soldier fell. Remnants of tottering ruins were standing, covered by an undergrowth of vegetation. One could discern that this hallowed spot had been torn by shot and shell. Nearby was the grave of this Polin. The path through which he was borne by his comrades from the G. B. D. (first aid station of the French Red Cross) was recognized. Without being embalmed, his lifeless form, dripping blood through the knot holes of a pine box, was placed. The army chaplain was at the head of the procession, saying blessings in memory of the dead. He wore ordinary priestly vestments and a Roman cross of brass.
The little abri chapel still stood where the hasty funeral services were held. A few American soldiers unconsciously joined the procession to witness the last sad rites. The crude box of pine was interred in this grave, which again after a decade, as a Legionnaire I stand at "attention" and salute in silence. To me, the thought came of battles unfought in life and how true soldiers must stand and proudly face death. A few miles to the right a "buddy" from America fell from an assassin's bullet; a white officer from Texas killed him. "Sonny" Jones was his name. His body was brought back to America and buried with military honors at Boston, Mass.
Up to this untimely incident, "Sonny" did his hit like a good soldier. There were none braver than he. He was loved by all of his comrades/ because he was game. He always had a smile; that is the reason he was called "Sonny." He was rough and could mix it with the best of them. He never took advantage of a smaller comrade. He was a corporal. When his commander wanted a squad for duly, his was among the first to be offered. His spirit still lives. When the Master called him, he thought he was defending one of democracy's solemn pledges: "To do his race and country honor." To do other than

P. S.—The following are extracts from prominent Mining Men and Engineers:
MR. OSCAR V. MILLER, Mining Engineer, and former superintendent of the Republic Mine at Cooke, said:
"I was very much surprised at the amount of high grade ore exposed on the surface and in the tunnels and shafts on the Glengarry, and, without a doubt, it is the finest showing, considering the amount of development work, that I have seen in all my experience in mining."
MR. V. D. WILLIAMSON, Mining Engineer, Chief Geologist of the Sinclair Oil Co.:
"Enough development work has been done to prove ore deposits that fully justifies the optimism in the camp; the present main working tunnel on the Glengarry property will develop the two known ore bodies at a considerable depth, and, in his opinion, based on a study of surface indications, the outlook for the Glengarry Company as one of the world's largest producers was splendid."

that he would always say, "Like hell."
Further on, in the beautiful hills of the "Vosges," is a wide stretch. Looking down are valleys mingled in between. Here and there are flocks of sheep and herded cattle. Deep fissures in the ground betray shell-holes of war days. On these hills were heard the incessant loud re-echo of German shells as they fell, making ugly gashes, now covered by damasks of foliage.
We returned to the familiar Argonne sector, where thousands of black soldiers learned their first lessons of French defense to stem the tide of German attack. We viewed that again. One June morning a black division motorized over dusty, long and rough roads. These soldiers found, why they reached their objective, trenches with circuitous bayous. After several days of watchful waiting, the enemy started a barrage on frontline and resistance posts. The roads from Claremont to San Menculd within this sector were always choked with guns, horses, men and supplies leading to the lines.
Near this point was the pivot where the lines converged to straighten out Saint Mihiel. (The climax to this famous battle ended on the Champagne, where thousands of these black soldiers won fame. One autumn night in September the "zero" hour signal was given. Cannon roared from left to right. Dawn of the next day came; there was no call for revelle, because those soldiers did not get a chance to sleep. Hard-tack, corn-willie and a sip of bootleg coffee, now and then, were the meals served, with cafeteria (war-style) self-service intensified. Looking afar toward the northeast were the same roads where on the morning of the third day a massing wave of German prisoners were discerned coming to the rear. Many of them were boys. They apparently did not understand the derisive shouts of American soldiers grouped on both sides of the road during a lull in the attack.
Your correspondent's unit received the order to sling packs and move forward "somewhere." Not a soldier seemed gay, because the zero hour was near. Over corduroy roads we hiked, then came a half near the chalk "Hindenburg" line. In the dark we marched to the north into the fierce roar of cannon, here, there and everywhere. Flares and rockets were blinking, casting their light on exposed positions.
We again saw the same ground, the heart of the Champagne salt.

ent where the Moroccans and the "Hell-fighters" were used as shocktroops. The latter had won fame on Rattlesnake Hill in another salient. Signal for "over the top" was given. Those black soldiers bolted wave upon wave. How they fell, some wounded, some dead! Machine-gun nests of the enemy swept the lines with a withering fire. On all sides they were set like steel traps. They could not be reached until Stokes mortar batteries dislodged them. Danger was of no consequence to these brave men. They tore through to the last objective on the right, which looks almost the same as it did then. Thence we motored to the field where our citation for bravery was read and medals were awarded to individual heroes. We drove over another familiar route, which was a tiresome journey to Granges sur Volonge.
The inhabitants greeted us with open arms. The "Town Major" drove down in his cannon and invited our party to the town hall, where an impromptu reception was held. After the reception we were invited to lunch at the "L'Hote" Tavern. The inhabitants again surprised us by gathering in large numbers. We sat down in the small dining-room. The table was laden with delicacies, champagnes, wines and large glass pitchers of cool beer. The old host, hostess, their sons and only daughter served us. We dined sumptuously. We departed from this town; the inhabitants seemed happy and wished us "bon voyage."
Back to Paris we went, looking for thrills. I found that one of the war-day curiosities, missing from the second A. E. F. invasion to France, was "Buster Black," the laughing colored soldier of gasmask fame. He may have been in France, "somewhere," but where? His smile and bulk would have added lustre to the occasion had he been seen. This is another important factor which close observers should watch when the Legionnales return to America.
An army of "veteran demagogues" may organize in many states, advocating repeal or modification of the "Volstand Act." The unlimited purchase of alcoholic liquors, both mixed and straight, wines and beers, on the ocean liners, and in France, including Europe, during this Legionnaire invasion will be the reason. The question will certainly be one of the issues of the 1928 presidential campaign.

Being Comments on Our Entertainers in All Parts of the World
BY ARRELL DEE
To a race that has produced such outstanding figures as Booker T. Washington, Iola Hayes and Paul Robeson, a press release tells us, and other interesting numbers, must add, the only Negro girl who is today taking important parts in leading film productions.
THIS clever actress was unknown four years ago when she was covered by the magazine for her famous leann, Fanchon and Marco. Without previous training as a dancer she was put through her paces by Fanchon and permitted to appear in an act with Frisco Nick.
SO rapid was her progress that in June she was Miss Snowden was playing a leading part in a Negro revue "Struttin' Along", which was first produced on the Pacific Coast.
FROM there Miss Snowden quickly was graduated into the ranks of a producer, putting on her own show in and around Auckland. So suezanne that she was almost immediately in demand, both as a solo dancer in pictures and putting her girls through their pieces and big productions for important film productions.
---
A year and a half ago she was given small bits in pictures. Since then she has climbed the ladder of success so quickly that she has now pearned the role of the Merton-Golden-Winzer screen actress meiodrama. "In Old Kentucky, I met a boy with James Holmes Costello, Edward Martineau, Dorothy Cumming, Stephen Punch, Nick Cogley, Wesley Barry, Winter Hall, Edward Connelly and Tenen Holl in the cost.
MISS Snowden has refused tempting offers to appear in Europe as a solo舞者 and as part of her own revues. She has predeceased her uncle in motion pictures, and as she is the only Negro girl now doing important roles in life, cinema productions she believes that she occupies a unique position.
SHE is anxious to be known as a leader in this field and is bending every nose toward the role of the director worker is the verdict of those who know her best.
ROLL the most year she has been working by day in pictures and night has been producing her own revue at as important a location as it is. In fact, she has just closed an important engagement of 65 weeks in that place.
WORKING: by night and day apparently does not play with Miss Snowden, so she is on the midnight-Mayer lot, fresh and smiling, as if she had had 10 hours sleep instead of approximately four. She attribued her role to the God she idolatously interested in her work and never bored with labor.
"I rather work than eat," Miss Snowden says, "and it's to the worker that this is concerned concerning her interest in dancing. Miss Snowden said: "I never had a lesson until Fantasia impressed me. But to my age I was able to practice dance steps before a mirror, posing as youngsters will in the most graceful attitudes that I could imagine."
DESPITE the fact that Miss Snowden never studied professionally, she herself is a teacher of reguine having trained such well-known people as Constance McGinn and Bosie Love in jazz dancing.
IMRUED with dynamic energy, Miss Snowden puts all her nerve into her work in pictures. She is easily effective. Of her ability, one says, is the most interesting production in which she has appeared.
OTHER Negro players—50 in all—take part in in *Old Kentucky*. In this original production directed by the racehorse melodrama from the pen of Charles Dazey, these Negro players give a superb account of themselves, have never been in a film production before, yet they are veterans before the camera—padded in every scene in which they work.
ONE aged Negro, John Murr, a 100-year old veteran, is cast as an aged servant. His Civil War stories amused people on the lot during the filming of the product of the personal attendant of James Comber during that historic period. He was a never-ending source of information concerning big battles in which he had been on the sidelines, cooking and washing for Comber.
MURR belonged as a child to General Joe Wheeler of Civil War and Spanish-American War fame.

Dear Sir:
Attended the afternoon performance of Jimmy Cooper, Peruse on Tuesday and I noticed that all of the colored people that were on the orchestra were hered or on the left side of the theatre. Of course, the situation arises whether we like to be together or no, but I do not think that this is such a wonderful thought. The general iden is, if you don't like what they are doing, they are good to have the time for the greats of Brooklyn are public pieces and to my way of thinking it is discrimination when they herd colored people in the side of a theatre. I have sent a letter of protest to the manager of the show, and the office had been the same practice of either putting enclosed people over in the wing or telling them that all the orchestras seats are sold. He did not reply and the practice continues, hence my letter to me has not problem yet with me using such narrow and this type of performance with the enclosed public. I go to this theatre only when there is a good act in the show that I am interested in appears the same. I am not a berlegna fan and I am not harping because they will not give me a good seat in order to view the works. I hope that you can find about the results public to know how to do it.

Hyder's Band Scores Big Hit
Billy Andrews' new revue opened to the usual packed house at the Lazarette Theatre on Monday and was recorded a roaring reception. The revue certainly deserved the reception, for it is one of the cleanest, fastest and funniest revues that has yet appeared on a local stage.
Billy brought with him the famous chorus that has been performing all summer at Atlantic City, together with Doc Hyder's band an aggregation of twelve musicians who have no superiors in this part of the country. The playing of this band was a revelation even to audiences who are customers to hearing the best theatrical and dance bands in existence.
The Nighttime Revue boasts of a very splendid cast. Andrew Trible is the chief fun-maker of the revue; Clint and Marle do some splendid singing; Copper and Thomas danced to several encores, Alice Dixon, Mary Strain, and Paul Sullivan performed in a manner that won the hearty applause of the audience.
In accordance with its policy of presenting the best and biggest show possible, the management of the Lafayette Theatre added several features which were not formerly part of the show and which were a real treat. Spurred on by the enthusiastic manner in which Sandy Burns was greeted last week, the noted comedian was again paired with Pilly Higgins as an added comedy attraction. They certainly had the audience roaring for the fifteen minutes they held the stage. Walter Crumbly and Emma Jackson assisted Higgins and Burns in their part of the program. The Two Black Dots, who have won a very enviable reputation during the past year, were also added to the revue, as was Izzy Ringgold. Simplementing Andrews' big floor show, these noted performers helped make this week's attraction at the Lafayette one of the finest revues yet.
The photoplay program included "Speedy Smith," a mile-a-minute melodrama starring Billy Sullivan. On Thursday the feature picture will be changed to "Black Tears."

rette, the bad acoustics placing the ladies at a disadvantage that was very noticeable. Had this aggregation of singers been allowed to sing from the stage it would have given them an opportunity of appearing to better advantage.
Sunday afternoon and evening apparently marked a new turn at the Casino, with Professor Anderson in charge, for a much larger attendance was noted during the day and through the night until closing time. With a fair break, the popular dancing master should meet with success, for he is not only conversant with all the details in running a resort such as the Renaissance, but he is blessed with a personality which combines a gala disposition, courtesy and a reputation for even-temperedness which seldom if ever becomes ruffled even in the most trying situations.

No other newspaper saw fit to keen in constant touch with the brilliant little artist, and even her welcome on her arrival in New York came from a suggestion in this paper which will be most likely followed when the performers now here band together to give the one and only Florence that banquet as a mark of appreciation for what she has done in Europe.

Alhambra Will Present Another Big Revue When "Brunettes . Preferred" Is Offered
By all odds the best musical comedy revue that has been seen for a mighty long time is the "Harlem Baby Dolls," now playing at the Alhambra. It is a richly mounted production including an Oriental spectacle comedy called "Buddha's Lamp," in which no expense has been spared.
Emmet Anthony is in the front rank of funmakers and he is seen at his best. The audience demanded many encores of his celebrated rendition of "Georgia Rose," also his yodeling number.
When Tim Moore, Emmett Anthony, Slim Henderson and George Green unite in tossing wit and humor about, the result is gales of laughter that blow through the Alhambra Theatre right out over Seventh avenue.
Ruby Mason leads the Alhambra stomp of Baby Dolls and Kitty Browne gathers the Little Brownies and marshals them up and down the illuminated runway. Gertie Moore surprised everybody with "murthful magic" and Angeline Mitchell sweetly sang "South Bind."
Eva Smith and Reta Falchilds took the girls through the "Bugle Blues" to vigorous applause. Banno Eddie, Fred H. Jennings, has a new bill of favorite numbers which he will play for the records.
A comedietta of Fifth avenue-society called "On the Sly" gave George Booker and Al F. Watts a chance to keep the fun speeded up. A number of theatrical folks from downtown will be up to the Wednesday Midnight Ramble, which is becoming quite a fad.
Next Week's Offerings
"Brunettes Preferred" is the Alhambra Theatre's answer to the much touted expression "gentlemen prefer blondes." An extra array of Little Brownies is promised, ranging all the way from willowy maidens to girls pleasingly plump.
The brunette charmers will be seen in elaborate numbers and ensembles staged by Billy Petway, with musical renditions by Edgar Hayes and his snappy band. "Bruettes Preferred" will start Monday and run all week. Emmetti Anthony, Tim Moora, Slim Hegderson and George Green will have new comedy episodes. Ruby Mason and Kitty Browne will have a rich new wardrobe of gowns for their numbers. The photoplays beginning Monday will include "The Trunk Mystery," with Charles Hutchinson, Ford Sterling and Alice Calhoun, also an "Our Gang" comedy, "Thundering Fleas" and the Pathe News, shown on the first day of issue.

Colored Singers to Open At Roxy Theatre Saturday
Hall Johnson and Cecil Mack Responsible for This Aggregation of Forty Singers
The coming Saturday night will be something out of the ordinary down at Roxy's Theatre, for on that occasion an aggregation of forty singers will open at this well known house which will undoubtedly attract the attention of Broadway.
The singers have been rehearsing for quite some time, and under the able direction of Hall Johnson and Cecil Mack they are ready to make their how to the public. This array of singers will form the singing nucleus of the musical drama entitled "Gooherered."
Mr. Johnson is one of the most competent directors and trainers of ensemble singing, while Cecil Mack has given to the world many beautiful lyrics which carry an unusual appeal. In the latter case it is timely to note that while we have had musical comedies since Mack wrote his "Charleston Dance." "Old Fashioned Love," and other well known numbers of recent years, we are yet to hear anything produced in our late shows carrying the same popular appeal. Mack is also a product of those early days when song writers gave the best within them and his lyrics have yet to reach the gutter stage of present day so-called popular writers.
Irvin C. Miller's newest show will open at the Lafayette Theatre next Monday. It is the third edition of "Brown Skin Models" and, judging from the advance notice, it will be by far the finest production the noted producer has yet presented. Sheldon Lewis will head the cast. The Nippon Six, Ozzie Lyles, Eva Metcalf, Monte Hawley, Blanche Thompson and forty other entertainers will be in the cast.
Chaney Finds Primitive Types hardest to Play
Screen Star Will Be Seen at the Lincoln This. Week in "Mockery"
Playing a primitive, half-animal character requires more study and preparation than playing a character of intellect.
So says Lon Chaney, famous character star of the screen, who in his wide experience has played every type of mentality from the strange scientist in "The Monster" to the gnome-like "Hunchback of Notre Dame," and who recently has finished, what he believes is his strangest character of all in "Mockery," his new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer vehicle, coming Thursday to the Lincoln Theatre.
In his new role he has a character in which loyalty and treachery, savagery, brutishness and childishness are all mixed in a complex blend that deplets the average Russian peasant at the time of the revolution; a person ground down by ages of oppression into a mixture of traits that even a glittered novelist would require pages to describe.
Chaney expresses it all in a few lashes of action and a remarkable make-up. The new character is "Sergel," a strange, almost animal peasant, thrust into the red whirlpool of he revolution, where he becomes in time a dangerous menace and later the savior of an aristocratic girl with whom is lot is cast. The character is something of Calibal, something of Quasimodo and a little of the monster Frankenstein, all rolled into one. Weeks of study were necessary before Chaney worked out the hundred little details by which, in actions, he characterized all this before the camera.

Bushwicks Smashed Losing Streak Against Royal Giants at Dexter Park
Dick Holland Twirled Masterful Game in First, With Redding and White Opponent Putting Up Brilliant Pitchers' Duel in Nightcap Contest
The Bushwicks finally broke their losing streak at Dexter Park Sunday, coming back in the second game of their double-header with the Brooklyn Royal Colored Giants to score a 2 to 1 victory after the Royals had romped off with the opener by a score of 9 to 1. The setback in the early tussle was the Bushwicks' seventh straight, and by winning the nightcap the Dexter Parkers not only routed the jinx that has been hovering over them, but also won their season's series with the Royals by one game. Hart Miller, a youngster from Binghamton, started on the mound for the Woodhaven aggregation in the opener, but blew sky high in the third inning and Bill Hockenbury, who replaced him, was not much of an improvement. Bill Holland twirled a masterful game for the Royals, holding them to eight hits, two of which, with a sacrifice fly, gave the homesters their only run. A pitchers duel between Stanley (Lefty) Baumgartner and Cannonball Dick Redding featured the nightcap, with Baumgartner just managing to outsteady the veteran colored star.
The Royals got one run in the first inning of the opener and then carved out seven more in the third to sew it up. With one out in the first, Finley singled and was forced by Charlie Smith, who came in on a double by Brooks. Miller walked the first two men to face him in the third, Brown and Finley, and Charlie Smith then came through with a double to left that scored the pair. After Miller walked Brooks, Hockenbury relieved him. Highpockets Hudspeth greeted Bill with a single to center and when Carter let the ball get away from him, two more runs came in and Hudspeth reached second. Cason's sacrifice hit put Hudspeth on third and there followed doubles by Smith and Holland and a single by Arnold which resulted in three more runs before Hockenbury succeeded in retiring the side.
The Bushwicks' lone run came in the sixth on a double by Kewple Dean, a single by Carter and Joe Welas' sacrifice fly.
The Bushwicks got the jump in the second game by scoring in the second inning. Dean led off with a single, moved around to third on infield outs by Carter and Welas and scored on Whitey Ross' single.
The Royals evened matters in the fourth. With one out, Brooks singled to left, stole second and went to third on Ross' bad throw. Hudspeth singled to drive Highpockets across the plate.
What subsequently proved the winning run came in the sixth inning. When Joe Peploski beat out a bunt, went to second on Barnes' sacrifice and tallied on Gerner's single to centre. The scores:

MANY STARS WITH GRAYS
One of the greatest aggregations of stars to ever appear in New York will be at the Catholic Proectory Oval Sunday afternoon. Oct. 2, when "Cum" Posey makes its second invasion of New York, in addition to their already strong team, the Grays will have in their line-up "Bizz" Mackey of Hildale, Martin Dihigo of the Cuban Stars and "Red" Ryan, also of Hildale.
Joe Williams, premier pitcher of the race and once manager of the Lincoln Giants, will pitch the first name of the double-header and Ryan will do the hurling in the other.
Manager John Henry Lloyd has taken advantage of the league season's end by securing several stars to strengthen his line-up. He expects to make things much hotter for the Grays Sunday than they were on their previous invasion of New York in August.
Because of the change of time (from daylight saving to standard) the first game will have to start at 3:30.

THOMAS LOST TO BISON SQUAD
一
Place
WASHINGTON, D. C. — The most serious setback thus far to the coaching staff of the Bisons is the loss of Hilry, Thomas, star tackle of the 1926 machine. Thomas, who knew absolutely nothing about football in 1925, was developed into a capable guard at the close of that season.
Possessing all of the characteristics of a tackle, Coach Watson shifted him to a tackle position in 1926, where he starred all season.
The coach had fond anticipations of this husky youngster's performance this season, but unfortunately Thomas will not be able to return to college this year.
Bob Miller is known nationally as an All-American guard, but Watson figures him to be the most logical candidate for Thomas tackle berth. Miller has weight, aggressiveness, speed and an abundance of experience in the line. It remains only to develop him in the fine points of playing tackle.
Ex-Captain Vernon Smith and Captain "Biff" Martin are rendering valuable assistance to the coaches in developing this year's material. It appears that with Big Smith and Bob Miller tackler, Rainey and Kelly guards, and Captain Martin center, this year's line will be quite as strong and perhaps more efficient than the line of the championship team of 1926. The coaches are by no means certain of their wing material. The loss of Campbell and Simpson is keenly felt. It is going to be a difficult task to replace these men. Although "Tick" Smith, star halfback of last season, will probably be lost to the back field, the coaches are optimistic because of the brilliant showing of Cecil Hinton, who it is figured will not weaken the back field combination.
Reserve backs are about as strong as in 1926, but reserve material in the line and flanks is woefully weak just now. The coaches are extremely anxious to get their hands on all material in the University so as to develop a second string strong enough to relieve the first string in minor engagements this fall. The Howard schedule is long and hard and it is going to be a big problem to keep the squad on edge with five major engagements following in succession and the annual classic only ten days after this series of tests.
Willie Anderson Takes Title From Pete Caesar
Willie Anderson of the Salem
Crescent A. C. defeated Pete
Caesar of St. Bartholomew club in
135-pound class scrap that fea-
tured the amateur boxing show at
the Maris Stella Council, Knights
of Columbus, Far Rockaway, last
Friday night.
Caesar is the metropolitan light-
weight titleholder, but this pras-
age did not frighten Anderson,
who won the last two of the three
rounds. Caesar had Anderson
down for a short count in the open-
ing session, but from then on Anderson
was the aggressor and his
long left found Caesar's face con-
tinually. The summary:
125-Pound Class—Walter Cook, New York Edison Co. A. A., knocked out Dick Buffin National A. C., first round. Ben Pincus, Beechor Club, defeat. Dennis Pincus, Beechor Club, three rounds, decision. Final—Pincus knocked out Cook, first round.
120-Pound Class—Jack Barce, Union Settlement, knocked out Tom Triolli, National A. C., second round. Beechor Club, knocked out Joe Frey, Country Life Press Club, second round. Final—Wasserman knocked out Barce, first round.
Special Rounds.
125-Pound Class—Tom Syrancus, St. Bartholomew Club, defeated Sid Tannenbaum, Beechor's Club, three rounds, decision.

MITCHELL STOPS PHILADELPHIAN
MITCHELL STOPS PHILADELPHIAN
Boston Boxer Piling Up Splendid Ring Record by Quick K. O.'s
BOSTON. Sept. 20.—Roy Mitchell, light heavyweight from Nova Scotia, knocked out K. O. Sampson, "dangerous" fighting man from Philadelphia, in the first round of a scheduled ten-round bout of the Suffolk A. A. boxing show at the Boston arena Monday night. The clever, hard punching boy from Halifax, after dropping the Philly K. O. lad for the count of three, snapped a terrific right to the heart and Sampson went out in the first round.
This was Mitchell's second K. O. victim in as many weeks. Two weeks ago he made short shrift of Tex McEwan of Philadelphia by the K. O. route in three rounds. Monday night Mitchell and Sampson fought in the semi-final of the feature bout between Al Mello and Ebbby Brown, both welters from Lowell. Mello was given the decision after ten rounds of super boxing. His Weaving style proved puzzling to Brown, who had recently beaten Meyer Cohen and Italian Joe Gans.
Experts believe it is going to be a hard task from now on to get fights for Mitchell. He is one of the best in the game. His ring generalship and heavy punches are reminiscent of Tom Gibbons. The colored boy from the North woods works with all the smoothness of Tiger Flowers, minus the Georgia Deacon's clownishness, and his right hooks are to the core.
From the Press Box of the Journal and Guide
The proposed idea of organizing an association of Eastern sports writers, if perfected, should prove a step forward in bringing about a closer relation, better understanding, more harmony and a spirit of co-operation among the members of the craft.
Members of other branches of the newspaper game have aligned themselves and have reaped much benefit through a more friendly attitude, through the exchanging of ideas and various other things which have aided materially and spiritually in advancing Negro journalism in its brief span of existence.
There can be no intelligent rebuttal against the idea of bringing the sports editors, sports writers and correspondents together into an organized group.
There can be nothing but an anticipation of better results to the members individually, to the group as a whole and the papers they serve.
It would be excellent if most of the members of the game should attend the organization meeting slated for Philadelphia, October 29. This date falls on the day of the Lincoln-Tuskegee game and also comes at a time when most or all of the sports writers in the East and West will have an opportunity to see the formidable Southern contingent in action most conveniently. He was a good picker, the guy who picked this date for the organization meeting of the proposed association.
With such men as Sam H. Lacy, Washington Tribune; Garland Mackey, (Baltimore) Herald-Commonwealth; Romeo L. Dougherty, Amsterdam News; W. Rollo Wilson, William G. Nunn, Pittsburgh Courier; John M. Howe, Philadelphia Tribune; Alvin J. Moses, New York News; Bennie Butler, Interstate Tattler; William J. Clark. New York Age; Louis R. Lautier, correspondent; Seek Simms, correspondent; P. Bernard Young, Jr., and Thomas W. Young, Norfolk Journal and Guide; Al Munroe, Chicago Whip, Frank Young, Chicago Defender; Sol Butler, Chicago Bee, and Chester L. Washington, Pittsburgh Courier, and other there would be a fine nucleus around which to form such a body.
The sports department has taken its place as an important phase in the newspaper game and has also done its bit in contributing to the monetary gain in the field of journalism.
Again, sports have played an influential part in presenting and advancing the cause of our group to the world and have, in many cases, brought about a better understanding and closer racial relations. Consequently, it is only proper that the chroniclers of these events should band themselves together to emblazon on the
Whalen Defeated Henderson Last Week
pages of time the accomplishments of these young, vigorous Negro athletes. It would be a good idea if all of these papers mentioned and others would declare a general holiday on October 29, pack up their sport scribes and send them to Philly, the town of the suffering Sesqui.

BORDENTOWN IN FIRST DEFEAT
East Orange Collegiates' Team Work Too Much for Schoolboys
BORDENTOWN, Sept. 24.—Early season fumbling and uncertain passes from center destroyed what chances the Bordentown School eleven had of defeating the East Orange Collegiates in the opening game of the State school's football season. The schoolboys showed the result of little practice and were weak on the fundamentals of the game, such as passing, tackling and holding the ball. Collegiates kicked off to Bordentown at the opening whistle, and when the schoolboys failed to gain they formed for a kick. A wild pass from center lost the ball to the visitors on the home team's twenty yard line, and two first downs brought the first score to Collegiates. Coleman failed to kick goal.
The second half saw slightly better football, with Bordentown making several first downs. The ball see-sawed up and down, the field with little advantage, tq either team, until a fumbled punt on Bordentown's five yard line gave Collegiate another chance to score, which they took advantage of. The game ended at 13-0.
The Bordentown team is now pointing for the game with Morgan College at Bordentown on October 15. Last year the lighter and younger team tasted humiliating defeat at the hands of the Baltimore collegians by the score of 33-0. The game will probably be much harder fought on the home ground of the fighting Jersey schoolboys.

Eastern Colored League All Stars Went Down in Double Defeat Sunday
Eastern Colored League All Stars Went Down in Double Defeat Sunday
Farmers, With Hen Wiley Starring on the Mound, Defeat Philadelphiaans Before Enthusiastic Gathering at Home Team's Oval
'A hard-fought pitchers' duel and an easily won slugfest, with the Farmers-doing the most of the slugging, were served up to the fans in a double-header at Farmers' Oval last Sunday between the Eastern Colored League All-Stars, of Philadelphia, and the home team. The Farmers won both games, the scores being 3 to 2 and 10 to 4, respectively.
Hen Wiley, the Glendale twirling ace, was in splendid form in the first game and allowed the visitors only six safe blows. His mound opponent, Hackett, yielded nine hits and, as events turned out, the difference of three proved to be the margin of victory. Hackett pitched good ball, but he was no match for Wiley in the latter's mood.
TEN
It was also Wiley's single in the seventh inning with a man on second base that scored the winning run for the Farmers. The All-Stars were the first to score in this contest, denting the rubber once in the fourth frame, when Washington reached the keystone sack on Mottey's error, stole third and came home on Allan's sacrifice to See.
The Farmers came right back in their half of the same stanza and went into the lead by shoving two runs over the pan. Roche singled to start the inning off, was advanced to second on Mottey's sacrifice and rode home on See's one-timer. See going to second on the throw-in to the plate. Krumenacker grounded out, but Loesch singled, scoring See. The Philadelphia brunettes tied up matters in the sixth on a trio of singles, but the Farmers, as previously related, untied them permanently in the lucky seventh.
Heizler began the festivities in the nightcap with a home run over the left field fence. Talies were added to this small beginning in promiscuous fashion throughout the remainder of the game. What little scoring was done by the All-Stars was by reason of the fact that Torpe had a sufficient lead to casp up towards the end. Chad See was the leading batman of the day, collecting four hits in the first game and three in the second, besides making several good catches.

LEAGUE LEADER IN BREAKDOWN
Eastern League Breakup Seen in Illness of Bolden
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—A break in the ranks of the commissioners of the Eastern Colored League was noted here last week when Edward Bolden, secretary-treasurer of the league and manager of the Hilldale Club, suffered a nervous breakdown and had to give up all work and go away for a period of quiet and rest. Mr. Bolden was the original promoter of the league and during the past season its affairs have been in such a state that Mr. Bolden has had a considerable burden to bear. It is generally believed that it was the league's affairs that was a big contributing factor to his present illness, although Mr. Bolden has for years been a clerk in the Philadelphia post office, and working the two jobs was a considerable mental strain.
Lloyd P. Thompson, secretary of the Hillside Club, and publicity director for the league, will look after Hilldale's affairs during Mr. Bolden's illness. According to Mr. Thompson, Mr. Bolden's illness was not due to worry over the condition of the Hillside Club or a possible break-up of the league, but simply to overwork. But despite Mr. Thompson's denial, it is known that since the custoing of the Lincoln Giants things have been going from bad to worse.
Nat Strong, the big mogul of the organization, is believed to be opposed to a league and anxious to have it die. He has done nothing to strengthen the position of his club, the Royal Glants, during the past season, nor would he aid the other clubs financially. At a meeting of the commissioners to arrange a series between the East and West, three of the members were absent and not represented. "It is now very likely that the league will either be reorganized or disbanded.

Mapledale Golf Club in Boston Not to Go Under Sheriff's Hammer
Robert H. Hawkins Declares Statements to That Effect Are Nothing but Idle Gossip - Improvements
BOSTON, Sept. 26.—Persistent rumors that the Maple-dale Country Club will soon go under the hammer were strenuously denied by Robert H. Hawkins, president of the club, in an interview to newspaper men here Friday. Since the national Negro open golf championship was played on the course several weeks ago, it has been common gossip that the club house and grounds would be lost to Negroes, but Mr. Hawkins differs with these reports most blatantly.
"In view of the recent interest created and support given the place," he added, "such rumors are most absurd—are, the talk of idle gossip."
Mapedale is located in one of the most exclusive and aristocratic sections of New England. It is in close proximity, to the region where Henry Ford, one of America's richest men, has spent and is still spending millions of dollars for improvements; where the historic Longfellow Wayside Inn, which he bought, and where the great Sudbury Farm of Babe Ruth are found.
Since Negroes took over the place and made such extensive improvements there, Mapedale has become one of the most attractive clubhouses and golf links in all the countryside. Golfers from other parts of the country say it is the best course owned by Negroes in the United States. For two years they have unanimously pointed to it with pride. It is one of their show places.
As a result of the club's attractiveness and desirable location, it is the envy of all eyes. White people have continuously tried to get possession of the place.
The property was purchased by Mr. Hawkins three years ago and turned over to members of the Mapledale Country Club, of which there are 128. They are from all parts of New England. Mr. Hawkins is said to be alone responsible for the maintenance and financial upkeep of the whole place, although the club has a board of directors.
Thousands of dollars have been spent for improvements, which include a watering system, "Frigidaire," $3,000 for wiring the place in and a like amount for grass, seed and other needs for the course. The lounge is second to none in the country and was furnished at an enormous cost.
Aslide from Mr. Hawkins, other officers of the club are: William E. Simmons, of Boston; Wallace A. Moffett, of Worcester; Roland Wilson and J. H. Barclay Jr., of Boston; Mrs. Edith Hawkins, of Stow, and William A. Heathman, of Providence, R. I.
of a scheduled six-round fight.
In the preliminaries Bobby Walker lost a three-round decision to Neil Saunders; Eddie Cooper defeated Ed Washington, and Gerald Reeder won a verdict over King Johnson.
On Friday of this week Willie K. O. Smith will meet Young Sam Langford in the star go of six rounds.
Willie Smith has scored fourteen consecutive knockouts and is matched to fight Willbur Cohen, of New York, here the first week in November.

"FAT" JENKINS STAR SUNDAY
But Parkway Club Held Harrisburg to a 5-5 Tie in Second
The Bay Parkway Club started its season at Erasmus Field on Sunday when it held the strong Harrisburg Giants to a 5-5 tie in the second game after losing the first tilt, 9 to 5.
Johnny Enzman started the first game for the Lippemen but gave way to a youth. Ike Gold, after the colored tossers got to him for nine runs and nine hits in two and two-third innings. Gold took up the hurling assignment with the bases loaded and made Canady hit into an easy force play. During the rest of the game he allowed the visitors but one hit, retiring five via the strikeout route.
Rube Zellers, former Jersey City twirler, was on the mound in the second game and was breezing along when the Pennsylvanians broke out with a flurry of hits in the sixth inning which tied up the count at five all. The Lippemmen got to Munson for four hits and three runs in the fourth inning, which broke a deadlock of 2 to 2. Fat Jenkins was a thorn in the sides of the home team all afternoon, making several circus catches in left and collecting four hits in eight times at bat. Lou Ferry was the Lippemmon's star at the bat, also garnering four hits. Artie Riley was the fielding star of the day. Next Sunday the Royal Glants will visit Erasmus Field to play the home team a doubleheader. The scores:

Have Dark Hair And Look Young
Nobody Can Tell When You Darken Gray, Faded Hair With Sage Tea
Grandmother, kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any dime for Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, you would get your hair a yellowish-like mixture, improved by the addition of other ingredients all ready to use, for only 15 cents. This simple mixture can be dispensed upon to restore natural color and tone to the hair.
A well-known downtown drugstore, Says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sufihur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been supplied—it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful.

McGinty, stating that the petition of the porters had been dockedet No. 20007, and that a copy had been forwarded to the Pullman Company with a notice "to satisfy the complaint or answer the same in writing within twenty days" from September 17.

Totten, assist general organizer of the Brotherhood, are on their way to the Coast, speaking in every Pullman district between New York and Los Angeles. W. H. Des Verney, and other assistant general organizer is covering the Southern territory with the same purpose in view.

A Dangerous Condition
"There was a time when my health 'was not so good,' says Mr. Miles Hopkins, of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for
CONSTIPATION
so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison.
"I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O. K. again.
"I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great aid."

"SPIRIT" MESSAGES
HEARD_FROM_RADIO
This message was given for the first time on July 13 from station WGL, Majestic Hotel, by the Rev. Mary Freeman. This is the first time in all history that the spirit noises have been heard over radio, the demonstration was recognized by all of the leading papers of the country. This is "clipping from WGL" with "Friedrich" plucked the strings of a 'cello, and after performing thus tapped a drum."
This same performance was again demonstrated on August 1. The spirit voice was heard over the radio. Also from station WGL as before. The judges interpreted the voice to have been that of a woman, who was to reach the mother of "capital Nungesser," I have a message for her." Then the voice faded into cold. The Rev. Freeman is going to try to have the spirits give this exhibition in Liberty Spiritualist Church, but not over the radio. It will be given on October 6 at the church mentioned above, 245 West Church Street, W. E. Freeman; pastor, the Rev. Rosa P. A. Braxton, Tuesday, seances. —Adult 1.
NOTICE.
The little private spiritualist Church of Christ, 1455 Amsterdam avenue, ground floor rear, will be open October 15. All are welcome in the House of the Word, the word of salvation time, not the day of salvation to renew our spirit from all evil. Deprive your dance or any other temporary things and come to receive with deepee the engranted word of Jesus as its word. One to hear from your loved ones word of comfort. Let us not be impatient, but we should look forward to find the things which have been wrought. A wonderful message we will receive to everyone by brave medium.

Keeping Fit
By E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D.
THE two chief causes for sickness to an individual are unsanitary conditions of the body and unsanitary conditions in the community. The greater of these evils is the latter. Among the majority of Negroes personal hygiene and personal sanitation are unknown and unthought of matters. Prevention of sickness is never thought of until there is a pain in the back, or a "misery" in the belly, and this pain or "misery" has to be severe before there is inspection as to its cause, or thought of future prevention. This is why there are millions of Negroes gradually drifting into chronic, incurable diseases.

Education Available for All Who Care to Get It, With Little or No Charge Whatever
OPPORTUNITY for study now knocks at your door. No matter how much you may know, there is room to learn something else. A man's brain is like India rubber — it can stretch, and then stretch some more. Have you ever stopped to think that it is possible to live in New York without the true New York living in you? There are two New Yorks—the sober and the drunk. The latter offers you her gaiety; the former, her wisdom. So many of the migrants within the city's walls are lured with New York's froth, but never drink her water from the springs of culture.
There is no inherent physical inferiority in Negroes; with care, education and thought along personal sanitary lines, their life span and health span can be at least fifteen to twenty years longer that it is today.
In the matter of health and disease, the majority of Negroes are shiftless, unthoughtful and ignorant. Sleep, diet, exercise are never regulated according to individual needs.
The appetite for sex, food and hilarity is that of the unthoughtful and primitive man. There is no careful physical survey of his body or nervous system. Most Negroes just live and soon die. How can the race prosper if the majority of Negroes are indolent along the lines of personal health, sanitation and hygiene? What Negroes need is more

Say, for instance, you would like this season to acquire enough skill along some new line to increase your wages. What has New York to offer you right here in Harlem? Evening School No. 90 will give you for the registering dressmaking, millinery, lamp shade making, embroidery. If you do, not know how to read and write, you can receive instruction; if you would like to finish the common branches and fit yourself for high-school courses, you may.
Should you desire, as a foreigner, to speak English fluently, there's a course awaiting you. Should you want to improve your speech, grammar will be taught you. The principal is Charles S. Tuthill. One may register daily while the regular school is in session. If you have a child and you want to give him supervised play, this school will care for him between hours of three and five. When in doubt about many things, talk with Principal Louise E. Tucker, who is willing to advise.
Other than this school right at your door are the Y. M, and the Y. W. C. A., the social centers in connection with Abyssinian Baptist and Mother Zion churches, which are offering varied subjects for vocational training. The would-be typist may master stenography and typewriting and business English. There may be bad dressmaking and destining. To the one who would like to operate power machines—all to get a well-paying position in a garment shop—the Y. W. C. A. gives lessons. Crochet beading, trade embroidery, French flower making, home decorations, china painting, rug making, arts and crafts, telephone switchboard are among the courses offered. Where you have special needs, see the principals, and very likely they'll take care, or direct you where you may go.
Harlem may boost of a number of beauty parlors offering beauty courses, which include hair culture and dressing, water waving and marcel waving, facial treatment, manicuring. The popular systems are also available. What these public institutions will not teach, the private schools are offering. There are the Healthwate School of Shorthand, The Garnett's School for Girls, and the Martin School of Music, Ethical Culture, and others. Beyond the boundaries of Harlem beckons every kind of course that was ever created by the mind of man to increase his skill
thought and care along the lines of body survey. Instead of so many doctors for treating disease, the Negroes need doctors to keep them well; to supervise what is wrong with the way they live, sleep, eat and play, Negroes, of all people, need to have "health engineers" to plan and construct a healthful life, instead of physical failure. A man's whole future and that of his family may be changed by the necessary precaution of a careful physical survey by his physician. In this way any physical defect or diseased condition that may exist can be detected early, a diagnosis made and appropriate treatment or mode of life advised. This is health engineering--heading off future unnecessary illness and suffering.

The universities are trying to put colleges in more of the homes with their extension courses, open to all at popular fees. Fordham University is featuring courses to fit teachers to pass the examination for positions in the public schools. This should make an appeal to the large number of college graduates in the nation who are attracted by this calling. New York City boasts of paying its teachers a living wage. Color is no bar.
A college education without heavy tuition fees is something new under the sun, yet City College offers just this to you—but the waiting list is long. If you want a college education you may begin in the night sessions of City College to secure credits and points.
Columbia is too well known and influential to tell you how she may slake your thirst for edge of every kind. Such education is costly, but puts one in the forefront for the most lucrative technical and professional know-positions society has to offer.
Hunter College and New York School of Social Work. New School for Social Research, need only to be mentioned to be appreciated for the many courses they offer.
Suppose the making of a living haiducps you so that you have not left strength enough to drag yourself to the lecture halls, remember there are correspondence courses for any subject you may want to take, and some of them are comprehensive and thorough.
If what you want is cultural background without the aid of schools, this, too, may be yours for the taking. New York is well dotted with libraries amply supplied with the world's best literature. They have suggestions for reading with a purpose at a cost of ten cents, so that in this technical age you may know some one thing well. Moreover, lectures from time to time are given. The 135th street branch of the Public Library specializes in offering the reader a complete literature on the Negro and an exhibit on Negro art well worth study. For the third year, the Little Theatre is installed in the basement of the library. As in other years, noted leaders of the

How Fares the French Negro? ":-
Represented by Six of His Race in Parliament
PARIS.
FOR some reason or another the Latin peoples have shown a tendency to treat Negroes less as inferior and more like human beings than the Anglo-Saxons. A notable instance: Modern Negro slavery really began in Southern Europe when a lieutenant of Prince Henry, the navigator, brought the first ten slaves from Guinea in 1442. Sixty years later, with the discovery of the New World, Negro slavery was introduced in the West Indies by colonists from Spain.
Negro slavery was not abolished in Southern Europe until 1773; that is, it lasted for 321 years, yet to the best of my knowledge, there was at no time a color problem. On the contrary, Azurara, an eye-witness to the arrival of the first batch of slaves, tells how they were taught traders, adopted into families and even married "the women of the country" (see his Chronicles, chapters XXIV and XXV). Later all of these Negroes, hundreds of thousands of them, were absorbed by the white population.
Although the Black man was brutally treated by all the white colonists in the New World, yet under the Latines the tendency above mentioned held true, the result being that black men showed more manhood and perhaps higher intellectual advance than their fellow Negroes under Audio-Saxons.
At a time when slavery was at its worst in the French colonies, the Chevalier St. George, from Guadeloupe, noted swordsman, musician and composer of several operas; was one of the leading personages at the court of Louis XV. Henri Diaz, a slave, was one of three who won the independence of Brazil; Antonio Macio was the leader of Caban revolt, while another slave, whose name I shall mention at another time, was the George Washington of a leading North American country and its predecessor for several years.

Love a Married Man
I have a number of letters from young girls who believe they are marty in love with some married fellow. They are only fond themselves and looking very best for unhappy places.
A married man attaches because his experience with women enables him to understand them better and teach many things. Experience has taught him how to say "I love you, sweetheart." In such a way he to make a woman believe that she is the only one with whom he's ever been really in love.

race will be heard in weekly forums. These lectures provoke spirited discussions. There is also a weekly story-telling hour for your child in the children's room.
If your interest is over and beyond what Harlem has to offer, try the People's Institute lectures at Cooper Union. Here national and international speakers may be heard.
If you purpose to deepen your musical and art appreciation, no city in America offers so much and so varied a program as New York. The only drawback is that the higher values of culture are expensive. The Metropolitan Museum is itself a storehouse of beauty where you may often repair—and it is all free, if you are careful in selecting the free days. It offers on Saturday nights free musical concerts, led by a national figure in the musical world.
No city in America offers any more brilliant leaders of religion than our own, and to sit under a few giants of the pulpit for an entire season would be a liberal education in itself.
If you can be persuaded "to let down your bucket where you are" you'll not only draw up water that will refresh you, but you'll find that, as a result of the drinking, your horizon of life will be widened. Summer is the season for picnics and vacations, but winter is the time of serious endeavor in the art of fine living and learning.

manded the French troops during the Boxer Rebellion in China. He it was also who won much of France's African empire, and General Bonnier, under whom Marshal Joffre served as a captain, was in command at the capture of Timbuco, where he was killed.
Among the leading French Negroes at the present is M. Mortenel, former commandant of a French cruiser, who was in command of the aerial defense of Paris at LeBourget during the war. Think of it, a Negro, and a dark one at that, holding this high post, while our Colonel Young was side-tracked to Africa, evidently to keep him from well-earned promotion. I had two appointments with Commandant Mortenel, but was unable to keep them because of illness. I hope to see more about him later. Another dark Negro, Hector Simoneau, was prefect of the Department of Cantal, a position equivalent to that of governor of a state. M. Simoneau is now paymaster-general of the Department of L'Aube.

It would be a splendid experience if you could hear the wife's story. Remember, girls, that it's just as easy for him to be a cat as it is for him to eat.
I know that it's hard for a girl to up a man that she loves, but it's certainly not impossible. Thank God that hearts don't break easily any more. Women in New York City can't go around very long, crying because they've lost their man. In fact, going around with "experienced" women appears more attractive to men's eyes. A man's experience makes him acquire an air of independence and wisdom—in turn, he finally seeks the "experienced."
I have been married for 18 years. I am 37, my husband is 22. Now, would you believe it, he'd fallen in love with a school girl of eighteen? He has always fledged outrageously with other women, but this time he seems serious. He tells me about his affaires and I listen good-naturedly. This time he has even gone so far as to ask me to take telephone messages from her for him. He has taken her about and has brought her to my house for dinner. This has been going on for six months. I can see that the girl is wild about him.
The neighbors think that I am crazy to allow him such freedom, but I don't see why I should get myself all worked up about his foolishness. Still, I don't like to be made a fool of.
Am I too good-furred? I love my husband but I am not jealous, and am trying my best to be broad-minded.
Best wishes to you from
MRS. T.
Dear Friend:
You strike me as being a woman of remarkable commonsense in not allowing yourself to worry over your husband's foolishness.
If I were you, I would tell the young girl in question just what you've told me. If she's got any sense she'll realize the truth of what you are saying. She knows by now that you are not jealous, but a woman with good commonsense.
I don't think you have to worry about your husband leaving you. "He knows his onions." At his age he isn't likely to give up a
Dear Egyptsy Ann:
ed that an American general in command in the first named department objected to taking orders from M. Simoneau, and that the French government shifted him to St. Malo. There are six Negroes in the French Parliament—five in the Lower House and one in the Senate. At least several persons have told me that Senator Lemery, who is from Guadeloupe, is a Negro; the other five are Deputies Delmont, Dlagne, Severe, Jean-Francois and Candace.
Deputy Candace, who has held and still holds important government positions, is a former professor of science in a French college. He is also a journalist and was editor of Clemenceau's famous paper L'Action, as well as of other papers. He has been secretary to Premier Viviani and rapporteur-general on prisoners of war. He is a collaborator of President Doumergue because of his interest in colonial, maritime and financial affairs. He has been a member of the finance committee seven years; vice-president of the merchant marine committee; rapporteur on state railways, and has been in Parliament fifteen years.
Deputy Delmont is one of the foremost lawyers of Paris and has a very large practice. He was awarded both the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor for his services during the war. Deputy Diagne, who also holds important posts under the government, represents Senegal. Of Deputy Diagne, later I hope to say more, as illness prevented my keeping interviews with him. The presence of these Negroes in Parliament makes it difficult for color prejudice to creep into France as has been shown more than once. Match these six deputies up with the absence of Negroes in the British Parliament. England has a larger black population than France.
Among other lending Negroes are Louis Beandza, who is chief clerk of the grand chancellory of the Legion of Honor; Isaac Beton, professor of the Lycee St. Louis; Raoul Cenne, professor of the Lycee St. Michelet both government college; Colonel Balle, assistant militarist of the first battalion of artillery, and a graduate of the Polytechnic School. Among the leading lawyers are Georges Mamerville and Clanville Bloncourt, both of whom have a large practice. Camille St. Rose Fanchine, a

The Negro and the Nation
In all properly constituted governments, between the government and the governed there are relative and reciprocal rights, privileges and obligations. The citizens support the government by means of taxations in times of peace, and defends it on the battlefield in time of war; and the government protects and defends the citizens in times of peace and of war—at least this is the theory of all enlightened governments. This nation, by legislative enactment and constitutional amendments, changed the civic

He'll get over his infatuation as he's gotten over the others. he's just having a good time at the girl's expense. He doesn't hide his affairs from you and, if you begin to object now, he'll only act on the sly. Lock to you from EGYPSY ANN
Race Not a Barrier in Any Walk of Life
young man of fine ambition, is a bookkeeper in a leading bank. M. Fanchine, who is much interested in his race, tells me that among other leading French Negroes must be added Admiral Amlot, retired; General Lecamus, killed in the last war, and Pellieres Lacourne, captain of a warship, and who was snubbed in a cafe in New York. M. Fanchine is winner of the Croix de Guerre. M. Charles Louisladne, 43 rue Monsleur Le Prince, former principal and inspector of schools in France, is in the real estate business and owns a hotel and a restaurant. He thinks France offers a splendid field for Negro investors.
In an earlier article I told of my meeting with Monsieur Germany, an inspector in the French customs. I have also mentioned Bengla, the noted actor.
And so one could go on to name others, near-whitees from the French West Indies, who in America would be known as Negroes, but space must be reserved for one whose fame is world wide—Irene Muran, author of "Batoula."
Muran, who served for fifteen years in the French colonial service, is the voice crying in the wilderness. He thinks that France has been very unjust to the black man, and "Batoula," as its readers know, is a stirring indictment of French colonial rule.
Muran is a humanitarian of the first rank and a leading contributor to radical French journals. Another book of his has recently appeared. "Djouma." As to "Batoula," it has been translated into eight languages. A word must be said in closing about the Negroes in the humber walks of life. These may be encountered from time to time engaged in all kinds of occupation: driving an autobus, conducting a subway train, clerking in a department store, and generally in all work in which Negroes are rarely found in America.
In my next article I will endeavor to answer some of the questions asked in the large number of letters I have received.
status of the Negroes of the country from that of slaves and bondmen to that of citizens, and by these legislative enactments and constitutional amendments did guarantee to him all the rights and privileges enjoined by other elements of its citizenry. Growing out of this change of status and this resultant relationship both the nation and the Negro have the right to expect and demand what is due as the result of these relative interests, rights, duties and obligations.
The government has the right to expect the Negro, by sanitation and clean living, to preserve his own health, and to that extent contribute to the preservation of the national health; to keep the laws and assist the government in all its efforts at law enforcement; to study and understand the genius, polity and functions of the government so as to intelligently discharge the duties of citizenship; to loyally support and sustain all of its institutions and departments and in every possible way contribute to the peace and prosperity thereof.
The Negro has the right to expect and demand of the government equal rights and opportunities; equal advantages in all lines of national activities; the right to cast his ballot and have it counted, as any other citizen; access to all institutions of learning on the same terms and under the same conditions as others of his fellow citizens; that the government shall end the embarrassment and injustice of the segregation and discrimination practiced against him; that he shall have protection from mob violence and a free and impartial trial when accused of any crime; and, in short, that he shall have accorded to him all the rights, privileges and opportunities guaranteed to him by the supreme law of his nation.
The Negro has been loyal; he will remain loyal; but he will never be satisfied and will never cease to avate and contend until this nation shall recognize and grant to him what is justly his growing out of the relative and postwar obligations enumerated.

Conduct in Public Thoroughfares
PEOPLE understand and things, that is, for the duct of people whom to the "general public," which by the strict law of propriet much intelligence and refine—and no more. And, happy dispassionate critic on the w demns our faults, it has no appreciates our merits.
PEOPLE understand and make allowances for many things, that is, for the thoughtless acts in the conduct of people whom they know well. Not so with the "general public," which measures every man's conduct by the strict law of propriety and accrets him with so much intelligence and refinement as his manners display—and no more. And, happily, this "general public" is a dispassionate critic on the whole, and if it severely condemns our faults, it has no grudge against us; it equally appreciates our merits.
A "regard for appearance" is, and should be, a leading consideration when governing one's conduct in public. It is not enough that we know ourselves to be above reproach; we must believe that the stranger who observes us gets the same impression. Friends who know her irresistibly mirtful disposition may excuse the girl who laughes terribly on the street car, but she will not be able to explain to the savage-looking stranger opposite that she did not do this to attract attention.
Conduct in public places should be characterized by reserve. The streets, corridors of public buildings, railroad stations, the elevators, the arcades of theatres, in stores, restaurants, the reading rooms of libraries, and the like, are all regarded as public thoroughfares, where the general public is our observant critic. Greetings with acquaintances casually meeting in such places should be quiet and conventional; friends should avoid calling one another by their given name and conversation should be confined to such remarks as one does not object to have accidentally overheard. Subdued, but natural tones of voice should be used, and the manner should be "open and above board." Cautious whispering is conspicuous, sometimes suspicious, and always ill-mannered. If confidential matters are to be discussed, the office or the parlor is the proper place for the conference.
When attending to business in a bank or post office, railroad office, shopping, etc., one should try to impress the clerks and observers that he has had the best of home training and knows the

Former Red Cap Exposes Slavish Conditions
Tells How Porters Are Exploited at the Grand Central
Terminal
There are over 500 Red Caps working at the Grand Central Terminal in New York City, and this force consists of "one chief, three assistant chiefs, thirteen captains, and forty regular men who receive $18 monthly, about 100 men receiving $1 monthly, and the balance receive no salary at all." So charges Allan S. A. Titley, a former Red Cap, who has written an article entitled "Slaves of Grand Central Terminal." which appears in the October number of The Messenger.
While it is generally assumed, according to the writer, that the Red Caps have no duties other than meeting trains and carrying hand baggage, in reality they have numerous other duties such as taking train reports, working overtime, placing boards for passengers to step on when leaving some of the trains, carrying sacks of silver coins from the bank to the ticket offices, paying for their own uniforms, and other such impositions for which they receive no remuneration.
replaced by double the amount of men within 24 hours.
"The time is not far distant when organized labor will find its way into the ranks of this body of men. The question is, when that time comes, will we find colored men manning the station? Will those in authority remember those men who have worked in the Old Lexington Avenue Station? Men who cleaned the old station at night time for practically no wages at all.
Mr. Tiley, who was a Red Cap at the Grand Central Terminal for 16 years, claims that the arrogant, domineering attitude of those who exploit these men is highly inimical to manliness and has resulted in developing the lowest morale imaginable. Says he:
"One would naturally ask why should these conditions exist. Space does not permit a broad explanation. One reason is that the Red Caps are an unorganized body. Even though a man may be working for 20 years or more, he can be discharged at a moment's notice.
"He can be suspended for any length of time at the will of those in authority. If he exhibits a fair amount of intelligence he becomes a bad fellow. He is supposed to be off duty every other Sunday. If he is told to report on the Sunday he is due off, he has to do so or lose his job.
"The collective spirit of these men is one of unrest and dissatisfaction, yet none dares to admit it openly. Every Red Cap knows that his place can be filled immediately. If he is a paid man there are men applying for work every day who will fill his place for nothing. If every Red Cap in the Grand Central Station resigned, they could be
make allowances for many thoughtless acts in the coney know well. Not so with measures every man's conduct and accredits him with so ment as his manners display, this "general public" is a hole, and if it severely congrude against us; it equally art of courteous manners and regard for others.
All passengers are charged the same fare on trains and street cars and it is only the self-consideration and generosity of a gentleman to give a lady a seat; he is not compelled to do so. Whenever he does, he demonstrates personal courtesy and his voluntary relinquishment should be fully repaid by the lady who accepts the courtesy by a polite "Thank you." The woman who slides into this place without acknowledging her obligation is very thoughtless, or else she has erroneous ideas of how far chivalry is bound to be the slave of selfishness. If a lady is accompanied by a gentleman, he, too, should say "Thank you." He should also be thoughtful not to take the next vacated seat himself without first offering it to the polite stranger. A young woman, strong and well, may properly give up her seat to a fragile woman or a mother with a baby, or to an elderly man or woman. Young ladies of leisure who are not weary should not be too ready to "oust" clerkls and laboring men whose ride home at 6 o'clock is their first chance to sit down for ten hours.
A gentleman is chivalrous in spirit and there is a co-responsive quality in a lady which makes her delicately sensitive about unjustly imposing on that chivalry. In emergencies or sickness or disaster, this quality in a woman enables her to be the chivalrous in spirit and to bear on her slender shoulders the burden that is temporarily dropped when some stroke of Providence lays the strong man low. At this point her good judgment always dacies for her wisely.

Woman Held in Heavy Bail
Alleged to Have Attempted "Pocketbook Game" on Another Woman
Carrie Williams, alias Esther Ellis and Mand Waters, of 2146 Seventh avenue, Manhattan, worked the notorious "pocketbook game" once too often and, as a result, was held in $5,000 bail following her indictment by the grand jury in the County Court last week. In default of bail she was committed to the Raymond street jail. Carrie met her Waterloo in Brownville on Friday, September 16, when she attempted to play the game on an unidentified colored woman.
According to this woman, Carrie approached her on a thoroughfare in East New York and inquired if she saw "that colored man drop that pocketbook." The woman replied that she did not, but displayed great interest when the Williams woman picked it up but, instead of agreeing to share the contents, she seized hold of the Williams woman and called for the police. Before the police came both women were fighting. Detective Jacob N. Van Wagner, white of the Brownville station came along and arrested the Williams woman.
According to the police, they have been looking for Carrie for nearly a year, as she and two men with whom she is alleged to have worked met a gullible colored woman who allowed her cupidity to overpower her good judgment and thereby lost $3,000 of her hard-earned money.
The Williams woman is reported to have approached this woman as she was coming out of the Dimee Saving Bank and called her attention to a pocketbook that had been dropped. From all indications the pocketbook contained over $10,000. This woman was so aroused over the fact that she was to get something for nothing that she agreed to go back to the bank and draw out her savings as evidence of good faith, for she had been promised half of the money by the Williams woman. She went to the bank and, when the cashier found out that she wanted to draw out all of her savings in the institution he inquired about it and the woman stated that she wanted to put it on a mortgage. The cashier asked to see it and the woman became indignant and stated that she did not have to show it. Within a half-hour after getting her life's savings out of the bank, she came back hysterically, crying that she had been robbed.
She says she had turned the $2,000 over to the Williams woman and, in return, received another pocketbook, which, upon being examined, contained only newspaper clippings.

Harlem Men Charged With Robbery in Jamaica, L. I.
Two men from Harlem, described as Curence Williams, 28, of 136 West 137th street, and Robert Hawkins, 18, of 221 Edgecombe avenue, were held without bail for a hearing in the Jamaica Magistrate's Court on a charge of burglary last week. Taken before Magistrate Miller on September 19, both pleaded not guilty to the complaint.

Vorback alleges that they stole two saxophones, valued at $300, from his shop on Sept. 13. According to the police, Hawkins has been in a truant school, reformatory and penitentiary, while Williams was arrested seven times.

Oliver Cromwell Bascombe, who left for Howard University Sunday, Sept. 25, was the guest of honor last week at the home of Henry S. Robinson, Jr., 413a Quincy street. Mr. Robinson is president of the Young Men's Usher Board of Bridge Street Church, of which Mr. Bascombe is a member. Mr. Bascombe is also president of the Allen League of this church.

Two men—one colored, the other white—believed to be the "black and white" bandits, who, in the last six months have looted more than sixty-two chain grocery stores, were arrested on Monday after a sharp fight with detectives at Sumner and Gates avenues.
Detectives who had trailed the white man for two weeks in the hope that they would catch him with his supposed accomplice, saw the two meet at the Sumner and Gates avenues intersection, just one block from the Gates avenue police station, and surrounded them.

RIVERHEAD, Sept. 24.—James Latney, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James Latney, was burned to death in a fire which gutted the Latney home on Franklin avenue, in the northern part of the village, shortly before 10 o'clock tonight.
Mr. and Mrs. Latney were attending the carnival at the Suffolk County Fair Grounds, about a quarter of a mile away from their home. Before going they had put the six children, the oldest of whom is 6, to bed and left a kerosene lamp on the table in the bedroom. The fire started when the lamp fell and ignited some clothes. George Fox of East Moriches, who was passing at the time, was attracted by the children's screams, breaking open a window he made his way into the blazing structure and carried out all the children he could see and took them to a neighbor's house.
A check-up showed that one of the children was missing. It was then too late to re-enter the building. When the firemen had subdued the fire they explored the ruins and found the charred body of the child.
United States Marine Band to Play in Jamaica
Classed as the foremost musical treat of the year in Central Queens the Marine Band from Washington, D. C., known as "The President's Own," will give a double concert in the auditorium of the Jamaica High School on the afternoon and evening of Tuesday, October 4. The concert is under the auspices of the Jamaica Llois club. Tickets for the afternoon concert, which will be for the student body only, will be sold at 50 cents. The evening concert is for the general public and the tickets are sold for $1. No margin of the money received for the concert is for profit and the sale of all tickets for the concert will barely clear expenses, it was explained.
For many years past the Marine Band has been recognized as the leading military aggregation of musicians in the country. Their concerts have been broadcast over the radio and the music of the band is familiar to all who listen in on the air.
At 3:30 the afternoon concert will begin and the evening concert at 8:15.
Rutger Van Brunt, of the Lions Club, is chairman of the committee in charge of the concert.

But the other man suddenly struck out as Detective Bilms attempted to handcuff him, knocking the detective to the sidewalk. As he started to run, Detective Cahill struck him over the head with his revolver and his desire to fight or flee evaporated. Both men were armed. They were taken to the Gates avenue station and then, after the detectives had communicated with Inspector John J. Coughlin, head of the Detective Bureau in Manhattan, the men were taken without being hooked at the Gates station. The four detectives would not reveal the names of the prisoners. Both will be faced by clerks and messengers of the chain stores they have robbed in an effort to identify them.
The two alleged bandits are believed to have planned a robbery Monday when they met near the police station. Detective Bilms, following the white man, saw him stop at the corner and peer nervously along Sumner avenue. A few minutes later the colored man approached and the pair shook hands. It was then that Bilms and the other three detectives, who had been concealed a short distance away, surrounded them. According to the police, the "black and white bandits" had robbed 41 stores and 21 in Brooklyn. All the Brooklyn robberies were committed on Monday and those in Manhattan on Thursday.
the method of operation never varied, police said. The pair would enter a store as a collector arrived and, catching him with a large sum from other stores, seize the money bag and make off in the collector's automobile, usually a small roadster, which these messengers wege in the habit of leaving in front of the stores.
Two weeks ago Inspector John J. Sullivan, chief of detectives in Brooklyn, received a tip on the white member of the alleged "black and white" duo. He placed Detective Bilms on the man's trail with orders to make no move until the man was seen to meet his Negro accomplice. Bilms shadowed the man virtually night and day until the meeting Monday.

FARMERS LOSE TO CUBAN STARS
FARMERS LOSE TO CUBAN STARS
---
Islanders Almost Blanked Brooklynites Last Saturday Afternoon
On Saturday at Farmer Oval the Farmers lost to the Cuban Stars by the score of 0 to 1. This was the last appearance of the Cubans for the season of 1927. Chad See did the twirling for the Farmers and, with better support, would have held the visitors to but two runs. He fanned nine of the hard-hitting Cubans, getting all but Baro and Fernandez at least once. The Farmers were the first to score. In the second inning, with two out, Mike Donovan walked and then Dotty followed with a two bagger along the left field line that scored Donovan with their only run. The Cubans tied the score in the third. With but one out Allison doubled. Valgus made the scorer out, Mike Donovan to Krumenacker. Barit hit to Roche, who threw poorly to Krumenacker and Alfonso scored.
The Cubans got three more runs in the fourth nining. With one out Crespo walked, Fernandes doubled, Oscal batted for Acea and fanned, Juanelo then singled and scored Crespe. Alfonso followed with another hit that scored both Fernandes and Oscal. In the fifth nining the visitors added another run. With two out Dihigo walked and scored when Leosch dropped Fabre's fly. Alfonso scored the Cuban's last run in the seventh on a Ruthian drive over the left field wall.

Cost Magistrate Simpson
$1.55 to Hear This Case
Manistrate George W. Simpson was so moved by the story told in night court Thursday night by an agitated and financially embarrassed man that he reached into his pocket and produced $1.55 toward payment of a taxcab bill. The man, Robert Anderson, 24 years old, 496 Manhattan avenue, hailed the taxcab of John Anderson of 108 Charlton street and requested aid in finding his home in Harlem. He wasn't quite sure where it was, but was certain he could find it. The two drove for more than an hour through Harlem. Then an order ordered the driver to stop in front of the Manhattan avenue address and got out. "Thanks very much," he said. "I don't know what I would have done without you." In view of the fact that his meter registered $3.55, however, the driver failed to view the situation from the same philosophic angle, and had his passenger arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct.
The two told their stories in court, and Anderson produced $2.20.
"Give Him two dollars," directed Magistrate Simpson. "He looks like a nice young man. I will pay the rest. The next time you start a search for your home borrow a nickel from a policeman. Sentence suspended."

When her case was called for trial Tuesday afternoon, Judge Cailoway directed that she be bound over to the municipal court on a charge of vagrancy, and she was ordered taken to the Fulton County tower. But the wrong Ella Jackson, the one who was arrested, did not until Thursday, answered in court and was sent to the county jail before the mistake was discovered. Later the officers who had arrested her learned of the error, and the exchange of Ella Jacksons was made between the police station and the tower.

Justice of Peace
Candidate Slashed
Columbus avenue's "usual Saturday night fight" broke out again last Sunday morning with the result that John Bronson, 122 Columbia avenue, Passaic, narrowly escaped death from stab wounds and Elias Fells, of the same address, is held as his assailant
Bronson, who is the Republican nominee for justice of the peace of the Fourth Ward, is regarded as a political leader in that district. He was victor in the recent Primaries in a contest of eleven candidates.
The trouble started following an argument near the restaurant at 122 Columbia avenue, of which Fells is the proprietor, at Office of Sunday morning. Officer Frank Rohrrich was summoned to the scene and arrested Fells. Monday morning, in police court, he was ordered held in $1,000 bail to await the action of the grand jury.
Youth Held on Burgh Charge
Downey Murphy, 19, of Orange, was held for accounting before Judge Ralph Glodiana Monday, September 19, on a charge of breaking and entering the office of Edward P. Hamilton Sunday morning. Sept. 19, he was arrested by Patricia William Bross, the court complimented by the court for the capture. The youth was held under $5,000 bail for the grand jury.

Mayor Walker's Denial
MAYOR WALKER denies that he asked a cabaret owner in Rome to eject some Negroes from his place. He says the report is silly and adds: "It might be interesting for you to inquire why this foolish story persists."
THE STORY does sound silly. In the first place no thoroughbred gentleman tries to interfere with the customs of a house or a country in which he is a visitor; when in Rome he either does as the Romans do or keep a tactful silence. In the second place, Mayor Walker presides over a cosmopolitan city which has several hundred thousand Negro citizens, to insult whom would be both impolite and impolitic.
YET the story persists and the Mayor wishes to know why. It is easy to tell him. One reason is that white Americans are known throughout Europe for race prejudice. Another is that some of them think it gives them a stamp of superiority to air and assert that prejudice. A third is the statement of Anton Bragaglia, in whose cabaret the incident is said to have taken place, and whose story only makes it look worse.
THE MAYOR, according to Bragaglia, saw two dark men dancing with white women and protested. Bragaglia replied that he belonged to the Catholic Church, which not only recognized black people as brethren in Christ, but made some of them Bishops. In deference to the Mayor, however, he asked the dark men not to dance. They said they were not Negroes. He says he told this to the Mayor and the Mayor accepted the explanation. He says he got a friend to tell the dark men not to dance because he didn't want any fuss.
IF BRAGAGLIA feared a fuss, the Mayor's objection must have been vigorous. And "the Mayor accepted the explanation." Assuming that Bragaglia told the truth, that phrase is the ugliest part of it. Suppose the dark men had admitted that they were Negroes. It seems that as long as they denied that they were of the same race as three hundred thousand New York citizens it was all right with the Mayor.
Mencken Repeats
MR. H. L. MENCKEN is with us again. Undismayed by the protests of Negroes against his criticism last July, he returned to the subject of Negro achievement in
EDITORIAL PAGE
last Sunday's New York World. Explorers and hunters say that Africa is the most fascinating continent; that once a man knows it he is drawn back to it again and again by some mysterious spell. The American African seems to exercise the same charm upon white critics and artists; once they take hold of him they cannot let go.
MAKING an exception of R. Nathaniel Dett, Mr. Mencken repeats his assertion that the Negro has done nothing of serious artistic importance. He calls the Negro preacher the worst enemy of the Negro and describes him as a magnificently uneducated, self-seeking ignoramus with a swamp-bred theology and a pork-chop culture. He thinks that one of the Negro's ailments is self-satisfaction and prescribes a dose of George S. Schuyler and unsentimental self-analysis.
MR. MENCKEN is progressing. Since July he has found one worthy Negro composer in Dr. Dett; by Christmas he may find another. He may learn why the white public wants Negro novels and dramas written by white authors and not by Negroes. By next July he may realize that there is as much God in the swamps of the Mississippi as there was in the swamps of the Nile where Moses began. In ten years he may come to know that the Negro preacher is no more and no less self-seeking than the white preacher; that, as a class, the Negro preachers perform a more extensive social service to the community than any other group of the race.
THE NEGRO will laugh to hear himself accused of too much self-satisfaction. His trouble all along has been that he had too little of it; two hundred and fifty years of slavery rubbed an inferiority complex deep into him. He is just beginning to shake it off, to appreciate himself, to feel his potentiality. He needs more squaring of shoulders and lifting of heads instead of less.

I wish to correct an error as cited in the enclosed clipping out of your paper, as to the first colored member of the New York Fire Department, and in the editorial on the last page of the September 21st issue.
William H. Nicholson was the first member of the New York Fire Department, and was appointed by Commissioner Scanlon. When he died he was at Brooklyn headquarters, and his widow is a pensioner of the department now. Next to him to be appointed was Mr. Fulcher, who was buried with departmental honors. Mr. Nicholson's son resides at 97 Decatur street, Brooklyn. I wish to give credit to Lieut. Williams as being the first colored officer in the department, and wish him success and high honors.
How about Mr. Tinsdale, the first detective sergeant of the Police Department?
Yours truly,
A FRIEND FROM BROOKLYN.

The High Cost of Dying
OR WHY FORD CARS ARE NOT USED IN FUNERALS
THE following correspondence will tell the story: Dear Mr. Miller:
We have taken note of your statement to the effect "The Negro buries too much money in the ground." This statement has been carefully considered by the writer. In organizing the Negro funeral directors of the country and publishing The Colored Embalmer, which, so far as we know, is the only trades journal published today among our people and by our people, it has been our pleasure to visit almost every city in the United States large enough to have a Negro funeral director. During these trips for the past five years we have studied the same conditions you so freely refer to. We have the interest of the Negro funeral directors at heart. We specialize in work among them in an effort to elevate them in the profession. And yet we are much of the same opinion as you are.
However, the question we wish to ask you is: What is the remedy? Do you, as a layman, so to speak (as applied to the funeral director), feel that the fault lies in the funeral director that so much money is expended on pompous funerals? Or, do you feel that the leaders of the many groups of our people are responsible, in that they have not hesitated long enough in thought along this line to educate the masses of the folly of the same? We would appreciate a frank statement on the question of high cost of funerals, expressing your views as to the why so.
Yours very truly.

Embalmer.
My dear Mr. Reed:
I am happy to reply to your gracious request. In the first place, permit me to say emphatically that I do not hold funeral directors in the slightest degree responsible for extravagant Negro funerals. Undertakers, like all other business men, are engaged in the business for the profit there is in it. They naturally enough, desire their
Biographical Work Published
Y. M. C. A. Issues Volume on Leading American Negroes
The National Council of the Y. M. C. A. has a volume containing a series, of brief biographies of leading American Negroes by Ralph W. Bullock, under the title "In Spite of Handicaps." The volume is published, says Channing Tobias, who wrote the introduction, in response to "the requests from leaders of white boys' and girls' clubs who desired to promote better interracial understanding and from leaders of colored groups who desired to stimulate the race pride of colored youth."
Mr. Tobias concludes his introduction as follows: "If white youth through reading these sketches gain a fuller knowledge of and higher respect for Negroes and colored youth are led to a deeper sense of self-respect and pride in the achievements of their kind, the book will have served its purpose."
The list of those included in the volume is as follows: Roland Hayes; Mordecal W. Johnson; president of Howard University; Col. Robert R., Moton, head of Tuskegee; Charles C. Spaulding, head of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company; Countee Cullen, Harry T. Burleigh, Professor George W. Carver of Tuskegee; Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, professor of Clinical Surgery in Mehary Medical College; De Hart Hubbard, athlete and breaker of world records; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, editor of The Crisis; John Hope, president of Morehouse College; Archie A. Alexander, civil engineer; Matthew W. Bullock, attorney of Boston; Henry O. Tanner, painter; James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of
customers to purchase the most expensive display which yields the largest margin of profit. Undertakers are not in the business for their health nor for the sake of philanthropy, any more than dealers in any other form of merchandise.
We naturally feel that it is our duty to give our beloved dead as decent a funeral as possible. The extravagance of display is often considered the exact measure of our love and affection.
I have heard of a Negro bishop being buried in a $1,500 coffin. The funeral extravagance of Kink Tat must have bankrupted the wealth of Egypt. It was the thought of his subjects that he would need this vast display to maintain his rank and dignity in the land of the blessed.
The Chinese put food on the grave of the deceased for use in the other world. I hardly think, however, that any of these ancient convents enter into the motive of present day Negro burial ceremony. There is nothing in the Christian belief and practice that sustains such a suggestion.
In my judgment, this funeral extravaganza on the part of the Negro grows solely out of the love of display and vanity. This is the Negro's ruling passion strong in death. In sociology, there is such a thing as "mirrored self," a sense of vanity by which we desire to make ourselves seem important in others' eyes. It is strongest in weaker peoples and inferior groups. It is more noticeable in women than in men. (Children display it rather than adults. The dependent man wishes to show off in the presence of his superior. The Negro must make an impression. He must attract notice to himself, living or dead.
This fatuous desire runs through the entire range of Negro life, from the lowest to the highest range of Negro society. Love of display is the Negro's vital breath. Education does not change it, except in its mode of manifestation. In the earlier day Negroes were educated by Northern missionaries, men and women of severe simplicity of life and character, but their example made little impression upon their Negro pupils.
I am told that there is not a bishop in the great Methodist Episcopal Church who owns a Cadillac car. Not that they are not able, but they do not deem such display of splendor in harmony with the sacred calling as chief pastors of ordinary and humble members. But every bishop of the Negro branches of the Methodist denomination drives the most fashionable make of car on the market. This, they imagine, adds to their Episcopal dignity and makes them more impressive with the peasant people whom they serve. There are on the staff of the Freedman's Hospital about an equal number of white and Negro

Homely Philosophy
By GEORGIA DOUGLAS
JOHNSON
Too Many Goals
Do you want to do everything, win everything? If so, you have too many goals. Discard all save one and then march steadily forward toward its accomplishment. A genius, perhaps, may do a hundred things excellently, but a man from the rank and file may not. With a multiplicity of alms he shoots wild and strikes nothing!
So close your eyes to the glittering lights of the many seductive goals and choose one alone; then go steadily and unshrinkingly forward!

physicians. The white contingency, to say the least, is as well circumstanced as their Negro confreres. And yet a stranger can point out in a line of several dozen cars arranged in front of that institution every one owned by a Negro by placing a chalk mark on every one of the high grade fashionable makes. Negroes are building or buying churches in our large cities costing in several instances a half million dollars. This is not all ways undertaken for the glory of God, but for the glorification of the denomination, congregation and pastor in charge.
In all of our large cities, Negroes are living in houses beyond their occupation or income. In many instances, they spend half their wages or salary on account of living quarters. I dare say that the Negro face has as much money-invested in automobiles as they have in homes. Negro society, as we see it displayed in the weekly newspaper, is not patterned after white society of corresponding occupation and income, but after the ultra rich and ultra fashionable set.
If you would get a full view of the vanity and ostentation as it is deeply imbedded in Negro nature, witness the street parade of any of our secret and fraternal orders. Note the tinsel show of brass and shining gold and the exaltation of spirit which this brief dignity imparts to the spirit of the participants.
Much of this is inevitable. Any suppressed minority which opens the standard of the more powerful and wealthy majority will do many bizarre and grotesque things to bring themselves into attention. But the more backward and belated of the race show this feeling in a more grotesque manner. The late McCants Stewart used to tell of a native African who strutted into Monrovia wearing a flaming necktie with no other item of dress. To me it is always an interesting spectacle to see women from the byways and alleys going to church arrayed like Solomon in all of his glory.
The desire for the limelight is strong in us all. If we cannot get there one way, we try it in another. If we cannot attain it in life, we seek it in death. The corpse heads the funeral, a distinction which we shall all attain some day. Our projected imagination would make most of that day. The poor people save and economize in order to provide for themselves a brilliant funeral. Many of our sacred and fraternal organizations live on the basis of this vanity.
But relatives also feel that their dead is neglected unless accompanied by a great funeral display. I can clearly recall, when I was a boy in South Carolina, the glory and grandeur of a funeral sermon. It was never delivered at the time of burial, but weeks and months later when members of the family and friends could assemble in church and listen to the preacher tell of the virtues, real and alleged, of their beloved deceased. I have known of many a one who lived a life of wickedness while in the flesh, but on these funeral occasions the gates of Heaven always swung wide open on golden hinges to let in the arriving saint. Woe be to that parson who ascribed to the deceased the merited reward of his ill deeds in the flesh.
The funeral day is always a big day in the experience of the family of the deceased. Thus the funeral has grown to be the crowning ceremony in the life of the individual. A fine coffin and fine linens to wrap the body, a long funeral train is the sought portion of the poorest. It is a disgrace if only a few Ford cars follow the remains to the grave. The longer the funeral procession, the greater heart swell of the beloved ones left behind. Now for the remedy. It must be as widespread and as basically founded as the evil to be remedied. This is to come about through the slow process of education. Our teachers must begin with the children in the grades. Teach them that genuineness is better than display. Orientation is always a sign of weakness.
"What the weak head with strangest bias rules is pride, the never falling vice of fools."
Ministers must preach it from the pulpit and practice it in their lives. Modesty and simplicity are basic virtues. Real culture consists in naturalness. Our newspapers must stress the simple life in their columns and pay less head to superficiality, show and sham. We must not wait until we come to die to inculcate these essential lessons. The race as a whole must learn to discriminate between the essential and the seeming, to be rather than to seem to be. It is only in this way that we can prevent the Negro from dying beyond his means.

The Negro in the World's Literature

JOSEPH SEAMAN COTTER, son of Michael Cotter, a Scotch-Irishman, and Martha Vaughan Cotter of mixed Indian, English and Negro blood, was born in Nelson County, Kentucky, February 2, 1862. He was educated in the elementary schools of Kentucky, where he remained for a short time. He re-entered school at the age of twenty-four and started teaching after a period of extensive study. Founder and principal of the Paul Laurence Dunbar School became his lot.
Cotter is a poet of the heart. There are poets who create everything they compose by means of diligent academic studies. Cotter, the poet, is as diligent in his writings as he is accurate in his measures. His poems display most frequently a fine sense of humor. Although he has passed his second youth, he continues with indefatigable zeal to give us the mellow fruits of his heart. His style is sometimes vehement, lofty, impetuous, pitched in a high rhetorical key. He is a poet of the philosophical school. His lyricism is in no ways destroyed by his philosophical axioms.
Dotter may be truly called one of the most suggestive of Negro poets. Impressive and vivid pictures come into being under his pen spontaneously. He gives us the word which tells and forgets the rest; and often he hits the very nerve of meaning. Color and sparkle permeate his compositions with a splendid sheen of fridescence, dazzling and bewitching the eye. He brings simples and pictures from afar; he sets the picture in a splendid frame of gold—and then throws behind it the shadows of a mystic or mysterious background. At times he fills the vacant listening soul with melodious music that seems to come from somewhere else than earth; but anon a discord jars upon us, and we forgive it less easily because we have been deeply delighted.
His sequel to the "Pled Piper of Hamelin" is indeed full of superb poetry. And Dr. Kerlin thinks that it surpasses Browning's in technique. But here is a part of it. Read and be convinced:
The last sweet notes the piper blew
Were heard by the people far and wide:
And they pray one and two by two
They flocked to the mountainside.
Some came, of course, intensely
and. Some came looking fiercely
mad. And some came singing solemn
hymns. And some came showing shapely
limbs. And some came bearing top of
yews. And some came wearing wooden
shoes. And some came saying what they
would do. And some came praying (and
looking to you). And all for what? Can you not
infer?
A-searching and lurching for the
Piet Piper
And all boys and girls he had
taken away.
And all were ready now to pay
Any amount that he should say.
And the poem goes on—
smoothly on. Then:
The years passed by, as years
will do.
When trouble is the master.
And always strives to bring to
wake a new and worse disaster;
And sorrow, like a sorcerer.
Spread out her melancholy hall.
Scream that cold and blooded
and each became her worshipper.
And not a single child was born
Through all the years thereafter;
If I sprang from the lips
of scorn
None came from those of laughter.
— a message went to Rat-Land
And lo: a race of rats was at hand
They swarmed into the highest
towers.
And loitered in the farthest bowers.
And sat down where the Mayor

HAVE you ever been down to the depths of despair
With sorrow, and maybe regret?
Have you prayed to your God to still the heart beat
Just to forget—just to forget?
Have you woke at the first gray peep of the dawn
With a thud and an ache at your breast?
Have you prayed that the night would bear you away
To a land of delight—and rest?
And then, something has lifted you up—
Your heart has grown gladsome and free.
A voice called you from out of the darkness.
"My weary one, turn unto Me."
And then over there in the distance
Hope held a star, gleaming bright.
And Faith led you out from the shadow—
Into God's sunshine and light.

And also in his Sunday hat:
And grazed revengefully thereat. Wrote in the cellar and rats in the steeple.
To quote him again in "The Threshing Floor":
Thrice blessed he who wields the fail
Upon this century's threshing floor;
A few slight strokes by him avail
More than a hundred would of yore.
Around him lies the ripened grain
From every land and every age;
The weakest thresher should attain
Unto the wisdom of the sage.
Ambitious youth, this is the wealth
The ages have bequeathed to thee:
Thou canst not take thy share by stealth
Nor by mere ingenuity.
They better self must spur thee on
To win what time has made thy own;
No hand but labor's yet has drawn
The sweets from labor's hand has sown.
There you have the poet before your eyes. You have him better critised in his own poems than I am able to do. He stands in his own class, a poet of the soul—a genius.
He is the author of the following books: "A Rhyming" (1895); "Links of Friendship" (1898); "Caleb, the Degenerate" (1903); "A White Song and a Black One" (1909); "Negro Tales" (1912), and "Life's Dawn and Dusk."
