THIRD ANNUAL CONCERT AND RECEPTION By the Sisterhood and Brotherhood of : : :
New York Mayor's Alibi
MAYOR WALKER ought to congratulate the American colored people on the fact that they have now developed to a place where they can call an American Government official to account for what he says about them in Home or Paris. How different from 20 or 25 years ago, when the American Negro could be, and was, slandered and maligned by anybody, at home and abroad, with impunity. Now the Mayor of the greatest city in the world must watch his step, even in the dingy corners of an Italian cabaret, when it comes to expressing his attitude toward colored folk.
And what is the basis of this new power of colored Americans? It is the "Negro press." That is a force that can no longer be ignored by any American or any race or position. Twenty years ago even the toddying Negroes could slander their own race without being called to account; but today even the President of the Republic may be made to know it when he touches the strong nerve of Negro-American. When Walker not back to New York and realized what had happened here, he said, or had it said, that he did not slander colored men in that cabaret and that he was not even at the cabaret. Well, maybe he wasn't, but the cabaret owner and Walker's own American daily paper friends say but he was there. There may be some mistake, or perhaps Walker was forgotten—he went so many places. And the white American tongue "clips" so easily on the "Negro question" that it is possible for a white American to make the remark which Walker is accused of without being wholly conscious of it. The colored press and people will readily train their white folks to be more careful of their tongues and manners when travelling abroad.
Du Bois and Pickens to Compete With Garvey
The N. A. A. C. P. offices get many queer letters from people everywhere in the world. Recently the following item came in the mail of the editor of the Crisis:
I send you this clipping in which I read in the paper here and in which I was so greatly glad to know that Liberia is out of her debs and now I hope that you will in the near future run a steam ship Line from your city to Liberia and you be the President and Prof. Will Pickens the Sec. of the Line then I would be too glad to go over there. I also have been on the look out to hear of some of the Boys from your City to make a飞船 over there in an Air Lindenburg and return like Mr. Lindenburg and the others have flow over to France and return. So hope to hear from you very soon. Wishing you the greatest of success.
Also please Dr. Duboise when ever you may have the time to do so go over to 318 East Forty-eighth street and see Dr. Le Be Forest and tell him I sent to him a card on my Birth Day and did he ever receive it or not. He is an In Ventor of the Ratio which is now used so many ways and even on the Air Ships flying in the air and tells us how they are going and how far it is to Heaven and how can we we Negroes get there from this Earth.
I remain your friend.

DEMENTED MAN SLAIN IN 2 HOUR SIEGE; 12 WOUNDED
Birmingham Health Officer, First to Be Attacked, Had Called to Investigate Soft Drink Stand
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 10. Barricaded in his home near the downtown section here, Charles Pinkard wounded twelve persons—officers and pubokers—one officer perhaps fatally, late today, before plain clothes Policeman Woody Sandefler climbed to an adjoining roof and, opening fire at close range, fatally wounded him.
Pinkard wounded Deputy Sheriff Sam Williams when the officer went to his home to investigate an alleged attack by Pinkard on George Kirkhoff, white, a City Healthy Inspector. The man suddenly became insane. It was said, when Kirkhoff went to inspect a soft drink stand he operated. Kirkhoff was injured when he attempted to quiet Pinkard.
Standing off all attempts to capture him for two hours, Pinkard, already weak from tear gas attacks and wounds, made his last stand when he rushed to a window to check the flank attack by Sandefar from an adjoining roof. Several shots were exchanged before the insane man fell.
The battle drew hundreds of people from the business section, who rushed through the police lines and into the fire from both officers and Pinkard. Three spectators were wounded
Pope B. Billups Disqualified
Court of Appeals Decision Rules Out Candidate for Justice
By a new ruling of the Court of Appeals on Friday, Pope B. Billups, Republican nominee for Judge of the Municipal Court, was placed out of the running, along with five Democrats and two Republicans Supreme Court Justices Riegel
Attempts to rout Pinkard with tear gas and fire were unsuccessful. While members of the riot squad drew his fire others rushed the house from an opposite direction and set fire to it. The fire burned a moment and then died out. Pinkard rushed to a window in time to wound an officer who had failed to get out of range.
Another attempt to burn the stronghold was made when an armored police car was driven to the side of the house and tear gas bombs were rained in through the windows, but Pinkard was on the watch and, when the squad bearer torches were within range poured a volley down on them. Officers said the tear gas appeared to have little effect on him.
The officers had difficulty in removing the body from the house through the thousands of people who swarmed in the streets and the yard. The body was taken to Police Headquarters and later to a mortuary, where it was held under guard.
Few of those wounded were believed to have suffered seriously and all but two or three were released from hospitals after having their wounds dressed.
Prays as He Dives
Off Crane to Death
NEWARK. Oct. 11.-Ruben Saunders, 30 of 3 Fearing street, employed as a laborer on Pier 2 of the Lackawanna Railroad, climbed to the top of a 40-foot crane on thepler Monday afternoon, shouting as he went, "The Lord have mercy on me!" For over half an hour he gesticulated loudly from his parch and then with one last call, "Lord have mercy on my soul," let go and fell. He landed head first and fractured his skull. Saunders was rushed to St. Mary's Hospital, Hoboken, where Dr. Colleran and other physicians worked over him in vain. He died at 5:30 o'clock without regaining consciousness. He had a wife and children, who live in Newark, it is said.

Mother A.M.E. Zion Church
By a new ruling of the Court of Appeals on Friday, Pope B. Billups. Republican nominee for Judge of the Municipal Court, was placed out of the running, along with five Democrats and two Republicans. Supreme Court Justices Riegelmann in Brooklyn and Hatting in Manhattan had ruled that seven Municipal Court Justices in New York City would have to run for reelection this year, and that their offices would be declared vacant on Jan. 1.
The Court of Appeals overruled these decisions, declaring that Municipal Court Justices elected to all vacancies are chosen to serve full ten-year terms rather than the unexpired portions of the terms of those whom they succeed.
The decisions holding the places vacant were in effect when the primaries were held and candidates were nominated by all parties. These nominations, under Friday's ruling, are nullified. Four of the Justices affected are in Manhattan, two in the Bronx, and one in Brooklyn.
Attorney Billups was chosen to run against Lewis A. Abrams of the Seventh District.
Chinese Denied Right To Enter White School
JACKSON, Miss., Oct. 10.—A Chinese was denied the right of entrance to the white public schools of Mississippi today by the State Supreme Court in reversing the lower court of Omaha County, which had ordered the school officials to allow a Chinese to enroll in a white school in that county. Under this ruling the Chinese will be forced to attend Negro schools if they desire an education in Mississippi. A State law provides that separate schools shall be maintained for white and colored children. The Supreme Court held that term "white" applies only to members of the Caucasian race and that "colored race" includes all others.

NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 12, 1927
Noted Tribute Paid Bishop W. L. Lee at Funeral Services in Fleet St. Church
Distinguished Churchman, Without Advantages of Formal Education, Became One of Greatest Prelates in African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church
Bishops, general officers, prominent clergymen and laymen from all over the country were present at the funeral services of Bishop William L. Lee, 61, presiding bishop of the Fourth Episcopal District of the A.M.E. Zion Church, which were held at historic Fleet Street Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church on Bridge street last Friday morning, Oct. 7, at 11 a.m. The Rev. W. C. Brown is pastor of the church. Bishop P. A. Wallace, a close friend of the late bishop, delivered the sermon. Bishop Lee, who had resided at 450 Quincy street since his elevation to the bishopric, died at the Methodist Episcopal Hospital on Tuesday morning, Oct. 4, after an illness of over a year. The church was filled to capacity an hour before the service commenced. The bishop made his home here since 1914, when he was pastor of Fleet Street Church, and after his elevation to the bishopric he liked the city so well that he decided to remain here. The huge crowd was a manifestation of the high esteem in which he was held, for the bishop took an active part in all that tended to aid the Negro, was fatherly, and gave of his time and money to all worthy causes.
Bishop Jostah C. Caldwell, presiding bishop of this Episcopal district, acted as master of ceremonies. He called upon Bishop L. W. Kyles to announce the first hymn, "Servant of God, Well Done." This was followed by the reading of the 90th Psalm by Bishop Clements. The second lesson was read by Bishop Edward E. W. Jones. It was a portion of the fifteenth chapter of the First Corinthians. This was followed by a prayer by the Rev. R. W. Swain, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church at Boston, Mass. Dr. W. C. Brown read the obituary.
Bishop Wallace was introduced to deliver the sermon and a eulogy. He prefaced his remarks by stating that he would rather be among the mourners than deliver a sermon over his departed friend and brother. Bishop Wallace spoke with great emotion as he told of the life, character and leadership of the late prelate. His text was: Job 14:2.
From Laborer to Bishop.
The life story of Bishop Lee reads like one of life's dreams, and not a reality. He was born on a farm in Madison County, Mississippi, in 1866. While his educational advantages were not the best, he was determined to get an education and, after a short attendance at a country school, he went to work as a laborer on the railroad.
In the course of time he felt the call to the ministry. After due preparation he was given a charge in his native State. He made such a great record that he was transferred to more important fields. He served in North and South Carolina. In 1966 he was pastor of St. Luke's A. M. E. Zion Church in Wilmington, N. C. His work was so effective that the bishop sent him to the A. M. E. Zion Church at Pittsburgh. In 1914 he came to Fleet Street Church and served there two years. He was elected bishop at the general conference of his church, which met at Louisville, Ky., in 1916.
Upon the conclusion of the sermon over his remains resolutions were read. They came from the various annual conferences over which Bishop Lee presided, former churches which he had pastored, the trustee board of Fleet Street Church, and the Fleet Street Church itself Society, of which he was a member and, though a bishop, took a great interest in.
Telegrams were read by Dr. F. M. Jacobs, general secretary of the A. M. E. Zion Church, from bishops and others who were unable to be present.
The floral pieces were of such number that they filled two automobiles. Among those that sent floral pieces were: the bench of bishops, general officers of the church, Fleet Street Church, the Relief Society, and a host of friends.
Class leaders of Fleet Street Church where the bishop held his membership were the pallbearers. They were Messrs. Smallwood, Clement, Richardson, Sawyer, Johnson, and Moore.
The chair of the church rendered several selections, and Mrs. Lulu-Robinson-Jones of Mother Zlon Church, Manhattan, sang a solo.
Bishop Lee is survived by a wid.

Killed Bradford (Mass.)
Storekeeper During
Holdup
LAWRENCE, Mass., Oct. 10.—Leo J. Nollin, white, of South Groveland was found guilty of murder in the second degree for the killing of William H. Griffin, a storekeeper of Bradford, at his store last March, by a jury in Superior Court here, Tuesday, after six and a half hours of deliberation.
A verdict of guilty was also returned against Mary Cwickla, white, who was charged with being an accessory after the fact. Herman A. Reed of Waterbury, Conn., was acquitted in connection with the slaying of Griffin, but was held for trial in connection with the robbery at Stiles' filling station in Bradford a few hours before the Negro merchant was murdered.
Hearing the words of the foreman of the jury, which means that he will probably spend the rest of his life in prison—the penalty for second degree murder is life imprisonment—Nolan turned and looked at his mother and father.
No relatives of Reed and the Cwickla girl were present. As he was being taken back to jail Nollin was heard to say: "Well, I'll sleep better tonight."
Tiger Flowers' Car Hits Child in Virginia
(Preston News Service)
(Presston News Service).
HARRISONBURG, Va., Oct. 10.—Tiger Flowers of Atlanta, Ga., former middleweight champion, faces a charge of reckless driving and a suit for $10,000 damages because an automobile he is said to have been driving hit Jack Logan, 4, white, as he was passing through this town Thursday. Flowers arranged bail that afternoon in both cases so he could be in Atlanta to begin training for his fight with Joe Lohman at Canton, O., on October 17.
The boy had come from behind another machine and rushed in front of his. Flower said. The child's right arm was broken and his face was cut and bruised.
Police say that Flowers was so excited over the accident that he rushed down a lane yelling, "Oh, Lordy," coming into collision with and knocking down Mrs. E. A. Zigler, wife of the Deputy Treasurer of Rockingham County.

Insurance Lapsed; Hubby's Suicide; Twould Be Awful
SAUGUS, Mass., Oct. 10.—"Hurry to Lynn. My husband is going to commit suicide and I allowed his insurance to lapse two days ago." Patrolman Percy B. Salsman received this pitiful appeal from a sobbing woman Tuesday, who called on the telephone. The frantic woman had just received a note from her husband, who informed her that he was going to do away with himself. The patrolman notified the Lynn police of the husband's contemplated act, while the woman hurried to arrange for the renewal of the lapsed insurance policy. The intended suicide did not materialize.
Mrs. Lilliendahl Growing Bitter
Still Insists She Thought Colored Men Killed Her Husband
MAYS LANDING, N. J., Oct. 10,
—The temper of Mrs. Margaret Lilliendahl flared tonight after she and Willis H. Beach had been held without bail for trial on Nov. 23, charged with the murder of the woman's husband, Dr. William Lilliendahl. Pacing her cell, she said:
"It is a damnable outrage that the authorities are following the easier course and trying to fasten guilt on two innocent persons. They should be seeking the two Negroes, or the men I took to be Negroes, whom I saw kill my husband.
"The result of this injustice is that Mr. Beach and I and our friends are forced to expend our money and we are losing our liberty while fighting for our lives. Instead of trying to break down my story the State should try to find the Negroes. As it is I must employ detectives to find the slayers even though I am in jail."
This flash of spirit was the second unhappy reaction by the widow during the day. She was smiling and nodding to friends when she came into the court room of Supreme Court Justice Luther Campbell to plead not guilty to the murder indictment and seek liberty on ball. When the Justice refused ball, a shadow blotted out Mrs. Lillendahl's smile and the knuckles of her clenched hands were dabs of white. Tonight she turned bitter.

A glaring episode of race prejudice on the part of Judge Lewis A. Abrams is said to have occurred last Wednesday in the Seventh District Municipal Court, where Attorney Myles Paige, 200 West 135th street, after a heated personal argument with Judge Abrams in open court, finally won his case.
Attorney Paige represented Mrs. Rose Tyler, 86 West 136th street, who received $192 damages in a $1,000 suit against Daniel Korn, white, owner of the property where Mrs. Tyler sustained injuries when plaster from the ceiling fell upon her head.

Mrs. Major Says Husband Beat Her
Loaded Revolver Found in Latter's Trunk, Assert Police
Accused of being a wife beater and charged with possession of a revolver, Samuel Major, 26, 203 West 135th street, was held in $500 bail for Special Sessions when arraigned in Heights Court Friday before Magistrate Smith. Detective Scott of the West 135th street station said he found a loaded revolver in Major's apartment when Mrs. Major summoned him there. Mrs. Irene Major, the wife, declares that her husband beat her when she asked for money for dinner. She said that since last Christmas Major has been drinking heavily, and often beat her. Mrs. Margaret Major, sister of Samuel's wife, told a reporter that Major was intoxicated when he attacked his wife last week. After blacking his wife's eyes, she said, Major pursued her sister into the hallway and proceeded to choke her, and she pulled him away. The wife then ran across the street to the police station and summoned Detective Scott, whom she told that Major had pointed a gun at her, which he always kept in his trunk. She was limping when she appeared in court, and the assault charge was heard yesterday.
Received $5.50 for Killing White Man
EASTMAN, Ga., Oct. 10.—Willie Thomas' insistence that a white man hired him to commit a murder stayed the noose of a mob here last Monday night and resulted in the arrest of Tom Buchanan, charged with complicity in the slaying of W. H. Howell, 66, white, a farmer, whose body was discovered in a shallow grave near his home the same day.
The mob stormed the county jail here, where Thomas had been imprisoned, took him out and questioned him before making ready to put him to death. Thomas insisted that Buchanan paid him $5.50 to shoot Howell, and also promised him the dead man's automobile, whereupon the leaders of the mob returned Thomas to fall.

In charging the jury, Judge Abrams is said to have been decidedly partial to the defendant and branded Mrs. Tyler's witnesses as liars. While Judge Abrams was charging the jury, from time to time Attorney Paige took exceptions to his statements which he declared prejudicial, and he openly accused the judge of violating judicial ethics by his unfair statements to the jury. When the jury filed out of the courtroom to deliberate upon the case, the verbal tilt between Judge Abrams and Attorney Paige began.
When Judge Abrams threatened to take the case out of the hands of the jury and send it to the district attorney, Attorney Paige not only consented to this, but further suggested that the entire matter be passed upon by a committee of the Bar Association. The judge balked at this, and the attorney then dared him to have placed into the records the prejudicial statements he had made.
"I don't recognize you," Judge Abrams said, "but I do respect that button you have there in your lapel; (he believed it to be a World War veteran's button, it was inferred), and Attorney Paige replied:
"That goes to show how wrong you are, not only in this, but in everything else. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You, a Jew, saying that you respect, not me, but this button, which is of the Catholic Holy Name Society!"
"Oh, well, we all make mistakes," the judge replied. "Anyway, I haven't got any use for you."
"I know it, and you haven't any use for my people either," he was told.
"Well, I'll tell you frankly that I haven't." Judge Abrams said.
Judge Abrams had already told Korn's attorney that if the jury brought in a verdict against him, he would set the verdict aside if he made a motion to that effect.
When the jury filed in and rendered a verdict in favor of Mrs. Tyler, Korn's attorney made the motion to have it set aside. "I have reconsidered my decision in this case," Judge Abrams said, "and I have decided to let the verdict stand. After all, it's not the defendant but the insurance company who will pay damages, and the amount the plaintiff is recovering is very small."
Some time afterward, Attorney Paige said, Judge Abrams called him on the telephone and told him that he would not try another case where he was the attorney.
"You don't have to tell me that." Attorney Paige replied. "If I find that you are sitting I will demand another judge before whom to try my case. I wouldn't have tried this one before you except that circumstances made it necessary."

Dr. Spellman's examination also revealed a crack on the left side of Bless's skull, but he said that it did not constitute a fracture and would not have caused death. Johnson has not been arrested, but will be summoned at a hearing in the Homicide Court next Monday, and will probably be released immediately.
Two of the barber's friends are said to have been witnesses to Johnson's alleged brutal treatment. Peter Ramon, a Porto Rican barber, 51 West 17th street, and Richard Menger, also a Cuban, 126 West 161st street, told the story of their friend's death to the District Attorney. They said that on Sept. 26 the trio entered the Empire Cafe at 133d street and Lenox avenue, where they ordered a half pint of liquor at the bar. Johnson is said to have been standing in plain clothes nearby, and Bles, with a friendly thump on the shoulder, asked him to join the party. Johnson became angry, they said, and called Bles names and Bles struck him and an argument followed. "Who the h—— do you think you are?" Bles is said to have asked, and the patrolman replied, "Come outside and I'll show you." Bles's friends said.
Bles followed Johnson outside to the sidewalk, and Johnson took out his revolver and struck Bles over the head with it, knocking him unconscious, and continued to beat and kick him so brutally that bystanders protested, the men said. Bles was taken a prisoner to Harlem Hospital, charged with disorderly conduct. Johnson said that Bles resisted arrest and that he acted only in self-defense. Ramon and Menger visited Bles at Harlem Hospital and a few days later he was removed to Bellevue, where he dled. Bles's friends told their story to Robert Unger, a barber at 60 West 115th street, and he told Representative Florencia H. LaGuardia, who notified the Cuban Consul. An investigation was then demanded.
Europeans Destroying Virtue of Natives
"The problem of the half-breed child in Africa is one of the gravities that country," devised Mrs. Laura Bayne, a returned coronary, in an address atinian Baptist Church last day evening.
Those children, which are the wings of Europeans who come africa and take advantage of the live women, living in most cases on adultery, are sadly neglectful and whole villages of these littoral are left to their own fate," she said. "Many of them starve for want of food and attention. Thesg Europeans do nothing for these children. This evil is doing a great deal to destroy the virtue of the African women."
Mrs. Bayne is a missionary sent out by the Abyssinian Baptist Church, which supports her in the field. She is stationed at Bangassan in the French Congo, and has been a missionary in Africa for the past four years. A young woman of splendid education and attainments, she gave up a lucrative position to go to Africa. Mrs. Bayne is here on a brief furlough, and resides at 49 West
139th street. She is a graduate of the New England Hospital, and will take a special course there before she returns.
Bandits Hold Up
Elks' Speakeasy
$138 Taken in Seventh Avenue Resort—Man
Escapeing with $125. part of which they are said to have taken from the cash register of the Elks' Cafe, on the southwest corner of Seventh avenue and 129th street, shortly after midnight last Tuesday, two alleged colored bandits made a quick getaway after holding up, robbing and shooting one of their victims. Detectives Ross and Kammunterer of the Nest 123d street station have been assigned to apprehend and arrest the men.
Frank Autello, white, the bartender, told the following story of the incident, to a reporter: The men entered the place and asked for a drink and cigars, he said. After serving the drinks he turned to get the cigars, when they suddenly shouted to him, "Hands up!" and he turned to face two blue steel, long-muzzled forty-five.
He was commanded to the back room, where two white girls were sitting, George Brown, 23, 49 East 122d street, and Charles Rosselle, 28, white, 150 West 121st street, were in the back room, also, Autuilo said, and all were threatened with injury if they cried out. Without malestering the women, one of the alleged robbers, took $19 from Brown and $30 from Rosselle.
One man then vaulted the counter and took $50 from the cash register, the bartender said, and, as they backed out of the place, they fired two shots, one of them inflicting a flesh wound upon Rosselle. Autuilo denied the alleged bandits fired because Rosselle lowered his hands, out simply shot out of sheer devilty.
The reporter questioned Autello very closely regarding the description of the men, and Autello was either reluctant or wholly unable to give even one detail concerning their appearance, except to say the men carried blue steel revolvers. He admitted that he did not know the color of the men, "but I know they were colored," he said.

Mothers' Smoking Fatal to Infants
WASHINGTON.—Alarmed because of the excessive infant mortality rate throughout the country among all classes of people, Dr. Chauncey L. Barber, white, of the American Association for Medico-Physical Research, made the startling announcement at the recent annual convention of the association that 60 per cent of all babies born from cigarette-smoking mothers die before they reach the age of two.
A baby born of a cigarette-smoking mother is sick, declared Dr. Butler. "It is poisoned and may die within two weeks of birth. The post-mortem shows degeneration of the liver, heart and other organs. Sixty per cent of all bables born to cigarette-smoking mothers die before they are two years old."

This statement from 11-year-old Ruby Cherry, 2364 Eighth avenue, caused Magistrate Smith, sitting in Heights Court Thursday, to hold Thomas Brooks, 44, a janitor, 296 West 130th street, in $2,500 bail for General Sessions on a charge of burglary. Brooks was arrested by Detective Kainerer of the West 123d street station on complaint of Thomas Henry, 24, 2364 Eighth avenue, who told him that when he returned home from work in the afternoon he found that his kitchen door had been forced open and some of his property stolen.
Fumes Lead Cop to AllegedOpiumDen
Man and Woman Found in Apartment Are Arrested
Fay Shuford, 23, 221 West 137th stenter and Lallie Day, 29, 133 West 137th street, charged with the possession of what the police believe to be opium, were arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate George. Monday, and held in $500 ball each for a further hearing tomorrow. In the meantime the substance will be analyzed by a chemist.
Patrolman Wilson of the West 135th street station said that he passed the girl's house he smelled a peculiar odor. Upon entering the hallway the scent became much stronger and more obnoxious, he said, and he believed that a dead animal was lying around. He traced the fumes to Miss Shuford's apartment, Wilson said, and he broke open the door and entered.
The air was thick with opium fumes, said the patrolman, and a search of the place revealed what he believed to be a jar of opium in a cupboard. "A home-made 'hop nine' still warm, was also found, it is said. Lallie and the girl were both in the apartment, Wilson said, and he placed them under arrest on a charge of violating Section 1752 of the Penal Law.
Although Miss Shuford gave her address as being in 137th street, it was revealed by Detective Sergeant Battle of the West 135th street station that Miss Shuford is the lessee of 221 West 138th street, the residence of the late Dr. L. B. Johnson, Dr. Johnson's widow leases the house to Miss Shuford.
Detective Sergeant Battle led Patelman Wilson in the raid upon the place, and was assisted by Detectives Moore and Short, about 11.30 Sunday night. In addition to finding the alleged narcotics, the detective also found a liquor still in a operation in the garage in back of the house. However, Day and Miss Shuford were only held on the narcotic charge.

Rescued From Gang,
But Man Is`Arrested
John L. Collins, 22, 40 West 127th street, after telling the court that he cut a white fellow when a crowd of them ganged him, was held in $500 ball on each charge of having a knife aid of assault, when arraigned Thursday before Magistrate Smith in Heights Court. John V. Tucker, 20, white, 1809 Amsterdam avenue, testified that Collins slashed him on the wrist. Collins said that he and a friend were standing on the corner of 126th street and Morningside avenue waiting for a taxi, when his friend remarked, "Why the h—don't those taxis stop." Tucker was standing nearby arguing with a white girl. Collins said, and when he heard the remark he came over to his friend and demand that he respect the girl.
"He took off his coat right away," Collins testified, "and started to fight and my friend ran. By this time a crowd of white fellows came from the dance hall and they all jumped on me and beat me." Patrolman Bree of the Fifteenth precinct rescued Collins from the gang, and arrested him on Tucker's complaint.

who, after hearing the testimony, dismissed the charge of rape, changed the charge of felonious assault to disorderly conduct, and fined Clement $50 or ten days. Clement could not pay the fine.
Miss Owen told the magistrate that Clement heat her into insensibility—she displayed two blackened eyes and other bruises—and locked her in the room from 8 o'clock at night until 4 o'clock the following afternoon. She also declared that Clement robbed her.
Clement testified that Miss Owen had taken some money from him and refused to return it, and when he sought to recover it she called him vile and filthy names and kicked him violently in the stomach.
When the girl admitted that she had frequented Clement's apartment and had been intimate with
him, the charge of rape was dismissed, and when Magistrate Dodge heard Clement's testimony the charge of felonious assault was changed to disorderly conduct.

ARREST HARLEM HOSPITAL WORKER
White Man Accused of Violating Boy of Five in Full View of Public
Woman, Who Saw Outrage From Third Floor Window Made Outcry—Policeman Reluctant to Make Arrest, Lad's Mother Says
Sodomy upon a five-year-old child is said to have been committed in full view of the public Thursday afternoon by Edward Pollard, white, 64, laundryman at Harlem Hospital. Four eyewitnesses to the crime appeared in Heights Court Friday to tell Magistrate Earl Smith what they saw. The old and debilitated white haired man denied the act and the district attorney consented to the fixing of the very low bail of $1,500 for Pollard's appearance before the Grand Jury. Theodore Raderick of the Children's Society was the complainant.

The low bail fixed in this case recalls a case of the same nature, but not quite so revolting, wherein a young white fellow was held in $5,000 bail on a similar charge.
About two o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Lena Young, who lives at 53 West 137th street, says she saw, from her third floor window, Pollard leading the child by the hand on the sidewalk near the hospital gate where the ambulance enters. The child seemed reluctant to go with Pollard, she said, and broke away and Pollard caught him again.
He then took the child into the yard, she said, and was about to violate it when the child again broke away. Pollard caught him by the shoulder, and while thus holding him forced the boy to do his bidding, she testified.
When she saw what was about to take place Mrs. Young said she scrammed and attracted the attention of Mrs. Alice Harris, 660 Lenox avenue, who was passing, Mrs. Harris rushed up to Pollard and snatched the child from him. Pollard, apparently intoxicated, was wholly indifferent to everyone, Mrs. Harris told a reporter. "If he hadn't been such an old man," said Mrs. Harris, "I certainly would have beat him. If Pollard had been colored and the child white
he wouldn't have had time to even say his prayers before a crowd of white people would have lynched him.
"We have all seen the old man playing with the children. "Mrs. Harris continued, "but we just thought he liked children and meant them no harm. It's a dirty shame!"
John J. Adolphus, 49 West 137th street, was another eye-witness to the atrocity, and he corrobated the testimony of the other witnesses. The child's mother is Mrs. Martie Storms, 53 West 137th street, who was first informed of the dastardly deed by Mrs. Harris. She said her son told her that "I didn't want to do it but he made me."
Mrs. Storm immediately summoned Patrolman Alexander Johnson of the West 133th street station, and demanded Pollard's arrest. Pollard had sought refuge in his sleeping quarters when Patrolman Johnson arrived, and Mrs. Storm and the witnesses were taken up in the building by Johnson to identify him. As Pollard was a city employee, the patrolman first suggested that he be taken before Superintendent Rudolf Rapp before he placed him under arrest.

Johnson was told that Pollard was already discharged.
Mrs. Storm then told the officer that she could not go with him to make the complaint right then because she had to stay home with the children. She was informed that she would have to accompany him at once or wait until her husband came home in the evening, by which time Pollard might have escaped. The child's mother then accompanied Patrolman Johnson to the West 135th street station, where Pollard was booked on a charge of sodomy.
Pollard, who has all the appearances of an aged tramp, applied to "George," also white, the boss laundryman at Harlem Hospital for a job four months ago, and was employed to sort pieces in the hospital laundry.
When arrested Pollard pretended to be unable to speak English and said he was fifty years old, but later admitted that he was sixty-four. He spoke very understandable English in court when he related that he had taken the child to the store to buy it some candy and was returning from the store

when Mrs. Harris stopped him and asked him what he was doing with the little boy. He testified that he knew nothing about the rest of it and denied his alleged immoral conduct. Patrolman Johnson said that Pollard was intoxicated when he arrested him, but witnesses are strongly inclined to the belief that Pollard was fully conscious of his actions. Mrs. Storm has four little boys ranging in age from four to eight, little Davis, the innocent victim of Pollard's shame, being just five years old.
Infant Found in Hallway
A seven-months-old baby was found early Saturday evening in the hallway on the fourth floor of 2636 Eighth avenue by Basel Whittingham of the same address, who called Patrolman Mantele, and took the child to the West 135th street police station. It was afterward sent to the foundling ward at Bellevue Hospital. The child is a boy of dark complexion, with brown eyes, black hair, and weighs 20 pounds.
Thought Furniture Was Discarded
Thought Furniture Was Discarded
That to be arrested and charged with the theft of anything is regarded as a tragedy in the lives of some good people was touchingly demonstrated in Heights Court Thursday afternoon when Henry Watson, 40, 2048 Seventh avenue, was arraigned before Magistrate Smith on a charge of petty larceny on complaint of Hazel Lincoln, white, 610 West 163d street. Mrs. Lincoln withdrew the charge and Watson was dismissed. It appears that he had no hope
through a misunderstanding. Watson is superintendent of the building at 610, where there was an ivory dresser and a bed, spring and mattress (valued at $60) in the storeroom, which Watson believed was discarded, but which would help to adorn his home. Watson had the furniture removed to his home, and thought no more of it until he was arrested. Mrs. Lincoln missed the articles, and not knowing that Watson had taken them believed a theft had been committed, and so notified the police. Detective Duggan of the Fifteenth Squad located the furniture in Watson's home and arrested him.
Watson's wife and a few relatives were at court, and Watson shed tears all through the proceedings. When he was freed his wife came to him and, placing her arm tenderly about him and kissing him, wopt hard and silently. Together the pair left the court, bowed down with grief no less real than at a bler; and yet many of the tears were of happiness for the man's release.
Girl, 11, Accuses 58-Year-Old Man
Accused Waives Examination and Is Held for Grand Jury
An eleven-year-old girl told Magistrate Smith in Heights Court Friday that Martin Hardaway, 58, 221 West 128th street, had had improper relations with her on four different occasions at his home, and that three other girls younger than she had lain on the bed with them upon the last occasion, which was said to have been on September 14.
One of the child witnesses took the stand and corroborated the girl's story, and Hardaway waived examination and was held in $2,000
THREE
ball for the Grand Jury. He was released on bond.
Hardaway was arrested on Sept. 28 by Agent Theodore Raderick of the Children's Society, who testified that the girl had been examined by an S. P. C. A. physician, who found her in a condition that warranted Hardaway's being held.
The man's youthful accuser was asked by magistrate what would happen to her if she told a lie. "They would put me in a Home," she replied, and throughout the testimony she was coy and smiling and seemed rather secretly unabashed in relating details of Hardaway's alleged conduct. She told the court that Hardaway gave her fifty cents each time, and that on the last occasion he gave the other children twenty-five and fifty cents each.
In submitting their report to the public, the workers of the Harlem Children's Fresh Air Fund, Inc. state that the total receipts for the season were $70.37; expenses, $54.54, leaving a balance of $25.33 in the treasury. Gullford Crawford is executive director of the organization.

According to a statement made by Johnson before he died in Newark City Hospital, Thursday afternoon, the girl threw the gasoline into his face just as he lighted a cigarette. She did it, he said, by way of repulsing his firraticious advances.
The girl, with Charles Williams, was arrested Thursday at a house on South Orange avenue, whence they had fled after the explosion. She denies she threw gasoline into the man's face. She says she was cleaning a dress in the kitchen at 2 o'clock Thursday morning when Johnson and Jones came in and began tearing her. Johnson, she said, made definite advances.
"Girl, I'm going to throw this match into that gasoline if you don't be have," she said. Johnson tormented after lighting a cigarette. He throw the match, she said, and at the same time she dashed the pan of gasoline to the floor. The match struck it and it exploded. Somehow, she got out of the kitchen. Jones was burned to a wilde. Johnson ran to the street, his clothing and flesh adhame. Mrs. Davis, in an adjoining room, opened the door to the kitchen and the flames caught her dress. She is not expected to live.
Intoxicated Man Attacks Detective
City
Among others whom George Jackson, 33, 77 Harrison avenue, Jersey City, picked upon to stab with a penkite Saturday night, while he was under the influence of drugs were Detective Sergent Gordon and Detective John J. Murphy. Jackson, last week, went into the Colonial Club at 73 Kearny avenue, and in short order started a fight. Some of the orderly ones phoned to the Ocean avenue police station and Sergent Gordon and Detective Murphy were dispatched to the scene. They ejected Jackson and then started to restore order with the ones who had become mixed up in the scrap Outside the club Jackson hit himself with Detective Murphy came out shouted "To hell with the law" and made for Murphy with a drawn knife.
The detective draws his gun and fired into the air to scare the man, who ran into a yard and hid. Attracted by the shot, Sergeant Gordon went after the man, who in turn ran into a cave, where several lungs at Gordon and then one at Patrolman George Kurtles, who arrived at that moment. He started to run again, lost his footing, fell down and cut his mouth. He was taken to the City Hospital, where Dr. Hickley stated that he was not in need of medical attention. At the station Jackson was charged with attempted assault and having a dangerous weapon.
Church Trustees Deny Charges
Claim Their Opposition to Pastor's Church Plan Caused Trouble
Members of the Board of Trustees of Lafayette Presbyterian Church, Ivy place, Jersey City, cited in a suit in chancery, charged with failing to account for church property alleged to be in their possession, deny that they are guilty of the acts charged and claim that the whole trouble is in the fact that, not agreeing at all times with the诉, William A. Bryant's policy against church congrences and deprived of a voice in deciding affairs of the congregation.
The suit in chancery, which has been filed by the church, names as defendants: John T. Brown chairman; Henry C. Irving, secretary; Roland R. Abrams, treasurer; L. E. Mabry, Charles C. James and William Haney as the particular trustees who are defying the church, at the same time setting forth Robert S. Hurtgrove, James E. Abrams, vice-president, and Fred T. Smith, are not guilty of any irregularities.
Roland R. Abrams, who has served as treasurer of Lafayette Church since about 1920, said that many of the congregation were dissatisfied with the present administration and wanted a change in the pastorate, and that a majority of the trustees were of this number. Because of the effort is being made to displace the old trustee board and put in a group more amenable to the present pastor's plans. Declaring that the so-called congregational meeting, at which it is claimed the old trustees were ousted, was not a representative gathering of the church congregation, an appeal was made to the Church Presbytery of New Jersey and was heard at its session yesterday. Officials of the Presbytery, Lafayette Church, have promised a full and unbiased investigation and a fair and equitable adjustment.
Members of the old board of trustees, said Mr. Abrams, will accept the Presbytery's decision, since all they have been contending for is to be allowed free exercise of their functions as church officers. They are ready and willing to turn over whatever records or property they hold to properly account for trust funds; that no records or books have been kept by the treasurer; and that money have been drawn from the church's bank account for extraordinary and unauthorized expenses, Mr. Abrams states that the only trust account is a building fund, of which Joseph Harrison, fourth vice-president of the New Jersey, is treasurer, and that Mr. Harrison has refused to permit this fund, amounting now to $644.19, to be drawn upon for other purposes, unless specific consent of the donors is secured.
NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 12, 1927
Mr. Abrams asserted further that records and books of all matters coming into his hands have been kept properly, but that for several months the pastor took charge of collections, holding them for several weeks, finally remitting same to the secretary of the board by personal check. As to the funds have been drawn or extraordinary and the authorized expenses, Mr. Abrams declared that if any such funds were drawn, they were turned over to the pastor.
Referring to the three trustees whose names were not included as defendants, Mr. Abrams said that two of them, James E. Abrams and Fred T. Smith, are firmly allied with their co-trustees and have stood with them throughout. They are the continued, strongly opposed the reincorporation of the church and erection of a costly house of worship.
The latter issue, according to Mr. Abrams, is the real cause of dissension, as the trustees and many of the members think it an Adluvies project to obligate the board to build a $500,000 church structure. He alluded to the fact that ground broken at Ocean avenue and Forest street in April, 1916, for the proposed new building, but that nothing has been done since; that some $200 collected at that time expenses attached to a pastor to defray breaking exercises.
This conservatism, charges Mr. Abrams, did not meet with the pastor's favor, and all suggestions looking to a modification of the plans proposed by the pastor were "steam-rollered." Not only did he insist on his own plans, it is claimed, but he also selected the builders to whom he wanted the contract awarded.
All of these contentions, with others that have not been brought into the suit, have been laid before the Presbytery.
Georgians Praise Sleuthing Farmer
Betrayed Man Accused of Assault to County Sheriff
MONTICELLO, Ga., Oct. 10. Burney Key sat on the bench of the Jasper County Superior Court Saturday and heard himself called a hero.
The white citizens of Monticello were acclaiming him as the captor of George Clark, who had assaulted the wife of a white dairyman, and were pledging themselves to let the law have its way with the prisoner.
Key will receive $500 from the Governor and $250 from Jasper County for his work and he heard the crowd calling for him to speak. But he was not overwhelmed. In simple, straightforward words he told the story of the capture.
"I don't deserve all this 'splay. I only done my duty," he concluded. Late Friday afternoon, Key averred, he saw Clark cutting across his cotton field and whistled to him. Clark approached and said that he wanted food and protection.
"What do you want protection for?" Key queried.
"I hit that lady," he quoted Clark as saying.
"What lady?" Key asked
The name of the victim was forthcoming from Clark. Key already knew the woman's name, but he was intent upon "drawing out" Clark.
"What did you hit her for?"
"Her husband was whipming me and she came up with a pistol and I hit her and ran."
Key said he agreed to protect Clark and told him to go into the basement of an abandoned store adoling his home. When Clark entered, Key locked the door and went into his home and got his gun. He sat near the door with the gun on his lap and told his boy to go for the Sheriff.

Ingratitude and a grudge are said to have entered into the shooting last week of Cyrus Braithwaite, 35. 293 Elighth avenue, whose condition at Harlem Hospital, though still serious, is said to be improving. Burt Martin, 24, former pugilist, said to be known as "Monkey" and "Battling Six," and whose right name is said to be Edward Augustus Dalmadge, 293 West 147th street, was arrested, charged with shooting Braithwaite in the forehead, chest and arm after he is said to have entered the B. O. B. restaurant and bakery, 640 Lenox avenue, at 142d street, brandishing a revolver. When arraigned before Magistrate Smith in Heights Court last Tuesday, Martin was held without bail pending the outcome of Braithwaite's condition.
According to Alexander Braithwaite, owner of the bakery, Martin's grudge began over six months ago when Cyrus Braithwaite (not related), who was employed by him as a waiter, is said to have made an uncomplimentary remark about Martin's mother. "Martin just misunderstood what Braithwaite said," Mr. Braithwaite explained. In March, Martin is said to have beaten Braithwaite so badly that he was removed to the Lincoln Hospital.
Shortly afterward Martin is said to have set upon Braithwaite and beaten him again, sending him to the hospital. Martin was sent to jail by Judge Knox for 90 days on a charge of felonious assault.
"Martin came in here Monday night, so my daughter says, with a gun in his hand, and she screamed and ran to the kitchen. 'I'll get you, too,' is what Martin said to another man in here and fired at him." He showed where the bullet had plugged a large piece of plaster out of the kitchen wall. "Then he went behind there (the kitchen) and tried to shoot my daughter because she had told on him. Then he fired at Braithwaite, shot him, and struck him over the head with the revolver. My place was broke up and I lost the day's sales from the cash register during the excitement."
Drinking Fest Ends In Knife Slashing
In a cutting affray last Monday night, at 33 Kearney avenue, Jersey City, Wirt Mectee, 35, of 90 Kearney avenue, was slashed about the face and arms by John Spotwood, 43, of 98 West 20th street, Bayonne. The incident occurred while the two men were drinking a festing test at the home of Miss Anna Tate. Wirt is being treated in the City Hospital.
Woman Found Dead
The body of Fannie Brown, 26, who was found dead in bed last Tuesday night in a rooming house on West Street, Jersey City, was taken to Higgins' Morgue for examination. The body was found by Mary Powers, who rents out rooms in the house. She summoned an ambulance. She was at the hospital and Dr. Hickey, who responded, pronounced the Brown woman dead.
Won't Name Adversary
Steadfastly refusing to divulge the name of his assailant, who stabbed him in the stomach with a small penknife in front of his home early Wednesday evening, Edward Houry, 18, of 12 Maxwell street, was released by police of the Grand street station after his wounds had been dressed by Dr. Christian at City Hospital.

Accused of Destroying Will; Mistrial Results
(Preston News Service.)
NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 10—Judge
Elmanazan, Wednesday, declared a
misdictional in the case of a woman
charged with "destroying a will"
because the indictment did not say
"destroying a will with the intent
to commit," and did not charge a
crime.
The action of the court retained
for the State a legal advantage, if
defense counsel, in the midst of a
legal motion at the time, had been
remitted to ask direction of a ver-
dict of not guilty at the end of the
State's case his client might not
face a new trial. A mistrial because
to further prosecution is no bar

confronted the father-in-law of the
lawrence, Lawrence Huston, who
testified that the defendant's hus-
band died May 18, leaving a will
dated Aug. 3, 1926, in the witness
hands. When the will was opened
before the judge, Mrs. Huston asked to see it, then
retrieved it and burned the diocesan
Frank R. Colton, an East Orange
lawyer in whose home Mrs. Huston
worked as a servant, cross-examined

no crime. He tore four wills up
last week in his office, he said, to

knowledge of the makers. The
court then withdrew a juror.

Rooster 'Choosed' to Crow, so Pair of Chicken Thieves Are Sent to Lockup
NEWTON, Mass., Oct. 10. — Because a rooster did not "choose" to keep quiet, Raymond Dunn, 27, of 13 Prospect place, and Archibald W. Young, 23, who gave an address at a Boston hotel, were arrested shortly before dawn Monday morning by two policemen as they emerged from under a bridge carrying two bags, which after investigation turned out to contain the crowing rooster and several hens.

Forbidden Pleasures
Just like Adam and Eve were punished for eating forbidden fruit, so do a vast number of men and women, both young and old, suffer today because they lack strength. Dissipation has weakened many so they can no longer withstand the slightest exertion—others were born weak and have never known how to build their bodies so they could take advantage of the many pleasures they seek. There is no excuse for anyone crying for health, and strength—everyone can enjoy life—
Officials of Sturgess Battery Company Address Salem Lyceum
"Equal Opportunity," "Industry and Its Employees" and "Capitalizing Our Opportunity" were the subjects of discussion Thursday night at the opening of the Salem M. E. Church Lyceum, where representatives of the Sturgess Multiple Battery Corporation of Jamaica, N. Y., were introduced. The Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor of Salem Church, heartily endorsed the Sturgess organization, which is giving employment to many Negroes, including executive positions, in this $600,000 industry.
B. E. Kohrbuck, general manager of the Sturgess firm, told the audience that brains and ability, not color, is all that counts with them. "Quit asking and do something! Your community has the brains to pool their resources and get into industry in an ownership capacity." Norman D. Sturgess, president, also addressed the meeting, and present with him were J. H. E. Thomson, secretary and assistant treasurer, and George F. Williams, vice-president.
G. W. Abbott was master of ceremonies and Lieut Hubert Julian assisted with subscription of stock in the company from the audience.
The alleged chicken thieves were locked up in the Newton jail, but queer angles in the incident persisted. When breakfast time came, the men were asked what they would like for breakfast, it being the cushion to send an officer across the street to a restaurant to obtain whatever the prisoners could pay for.
An asked for a fried egg sandwich. The words were no sooner out of his mouth than one of the hens near the cell lad an egg.
Since the police felt that the egg belonged to Dunn until it was proven he stole the hens, an officer took the freshly-laid egg across the street and used it to fill Dunn's order.
The arresting officers, Jeremiah Jenkins and Joseph O'Connor, testified in court last Monday that their attention was attracted to the burglaries when the imprisoned rooster insisted on crowing, thus putting the officers on the alert. Mrs. Brown, from whom the chickens were stolen, testified that she had white, black, yellow and red chickens all mixed, but evidently the "gentlemen preferred" Rhode Island Reds, as only red were stolen. The prisoners were sentenced to two months in the House of Correction.

5,000 Meals Daily Provided Storm Sufferers Through Poro College
Not Only Food, but First Aid and Clothing, Are Distributed Through Red Cross Unit—Shelter Provided for 100
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 10.--About 5,000 meals are supplied daily to Negro storm victims by the Red Cross through Poro College, at Pendleton and St. Ferdinand avenues, which is the central agency of the Red Cross for relief work among Negroes.
In addition to this service, lodging for more than 100 individuals has been provided in the auditorium of the institution, together with a nursery for women with babies. The overflow of lodgers from this place is housed at Summer High School, Cottage and Pendleton, and Lane Tabernacle, A. M. E., Enright and Newstead avenues.
The Poro College building is admirably adapted for an emergency of this kind, as it is modern in every respect, with a medical department and a staff and operating room and a kitchen and dining room large enough for hotel requirements.

In this place first aid is administered to the slightly injured, and clothing, food and lodging are provided for others. Already several hundred Negro families in need of new homes have been housed through this center in co-operation with the Real Estate Exchange and other agencies.
Mrs. Annie Malone, wealthy tender and owner of the institution, is in the East on business. As soon as she heard of the tornado she matched Charles S. Stone and Einaf E. McDaniel, her representatives, by long distance telephone, to throw open the college to storm victims and devote all its resources to relief work.
The Cross then assigned W. H. Lambert of the Lambert-Graves Motor Co., Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Grossberg, T. S. Nourse and W. E. Patrick to supervise the work, and with the aid of Stone and McDaniel relief measures were quickly organized.
About 200 persons are fed daily at the institution, and other meals are carried to families who have not left their damaged homes. Red Cross workers express amazement at the fortitude and spirit of the Negro as they have found him in distress. A $2,500,000 bill is demanded to replace damaged and destroyed homes and property of Negro residents.
EXPANSION OF MISSION
ENDEAVOR REPORTED
(Preston News Service.)
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 10—The convention of the Woman's Parent College, Paul's Church, E. Church here last week was largely attended and the reports indicated that wonderful growth had been made during the past year.
B. Bertha Hurst, wife of Bishop Hurst of Baltimore, Md., reported that during the past four years the women had collected and expended, for home and foreign missions, more than $210,000. The large single items for the foreign missions, $7,727 for work in Liberia and $2,000 for a parsonage in Bermuda.
Rockefeller Project Attacked at Forum
The Paul Lawrence Dunbar Garden Apartments, now nearing completion on Seventh avenue, between 149th and 150th streets, Eighth avenue and McCombs place, and its resident manager, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, were the targets of a heated verbal attack on Thursday night at the forum of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, 139th street between Lenox and Seventh avenues.
James Middleton of the North Harlem Community Council charged that unlawful and unjust amount were being charged for the theft of the Rockefeller project, stating that under the New York State rent laws $14 was the limit that could be charged per room.
David Outlear, an attorney; John Clifford Hawkins, Republican candidate for alderman; Mrs. Helen Hunting, chairman of the Community Councils of New York, James H. Hubert, executive secretary of the New York Urban League; Aaron Smith, president of the forum; Dr. Charles H. Robers and Iva DeA. Reid, also of the New York Urban League, and others took part in the discussion.
Mr. Bruce stated that he would speak not in his official capacity as resident manager of the apartments, but in his personal capacity as a citizen and voter of New York City.
He then went on to set forth and to discuss critically the views on the race questions, each one of which has a single-barreled solution for Negro problems in America: Political activity, education, economic co-operation.
The speaker differed from all three in believing that a single-burreled solution is entirely visionary and that all three are both right and wrong—wrong in trusting to any single solution, but right to the extent that each of the three elements is comprised in an adequate solution—and much more. In particular, Mr. Bruce stressed the importance of economic cooperation in the Harlem of today both in the matter of jobs and in that of housing. The economic pressure that can be exerted by one hundred thousand consumers is prodigious, but it implies patient and thorough organization.
Man Under Arrest
Wanted for Murder
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Oct. 19.
—Nelson Turner, alias Williams,
111 Franklin street, was arrested
Tuesday by Detective Lieutenant
John P. Fleming. He was wanted in
Philadelphia, charged with the
murder of James Green in that
city on July 28, 1923.
According to Lieut. Fleming, the
police of Philadelphia have been
searching for Turner the past four
years. Turner is alleged to have
quarreled over a woman. He dis-
appeared soon after the killing.
Through the proprietor of the
lodging house, where Turner roomed,
he came to the attention of the
police. A description of the man
corresponded closely with that
sent out by the Philadelphia police
of the man wanted for the murder
of James Green.
Presbyterian Suit
Nearing Close
Rendall Memorial and
Finance Corporation
Involved
Among the cases slated for early
disposal in the Supreme Court is
the long and bitter controversy between
the Rendall Presbyterian
Church located in 137th street,
near Lennox Avenue, and the Williams
Finance Corporation, 109
West 129th street
Dating from July 11 last, when the suit was first started, it has been alred before Justices Ford, Mullen, Donohoe, Pauls, Frankenbauer, Townley and Black, all of the Supreme Court. The suit which involves approximately $25,000 had its origin in a tract of land at 103 West 129th street, formerly owned by the Rendall Church, and which was sold to the Williams drum for $26,000. This property was later resold to the Union A. M. E. Church, and the Rendall congregation opened motion in the Supreme Court to force the Williams corporation to pay the sum of $3,000 which the church claims is owed them on the original purchase price. The Williams drum refuse to pay this additional $3,000 on the grounds that their agreement called for the substitution of promissory notes amounting to an identical sum which they claim to have held on the church premises before purchasing it.
A counter suit started in the Seventh District municipal court to force the church to pay the sum of $8,000 on three promissory notes was halted by an injunction issued to the Rendall Church by Justice Frankenthaler. On August 13 Inst Justice Black assigned F. E. Carstarphen, former assistant district attorney of New York, as referee in the case. Hearings before the referee have been almost completed, and it is due to come up for a decision before Judge Black as soon as Mr. Carstarphen makes his report. Attorney Vernal J. Williams of 510 Broadway is the counsel for the Williams Finance Corporation, and Attorney John B. Thorne of 131 West 131th street is representing the Rendall Presbyterian Church.

Such an embittered attitude of mind in a cosmopolitan community like Gary is particularly discouraging. The children, needless to say, would not have acted prejudice, and who would treat the Negro as though he were an outcast. Americans like to believe they are exponents of the gospel of fair play, yet many of them are notably unfair to the Negro.

New York Evening World: "It is significant of the community sentiment that the students have the approval of their parents and of the business men of the town. No community in the country can go ill afford nationalistic and racial contentions, for in Gary the result would be feuds and factions born of the most ugly instinct of human nature." Chicago Journal: "The youths who have forced from Gary a promise of humiliate total segregation of the races in the schools offer the most pronounced instance of Jim Crowism observed in the North in a long time. A certain degree of self-government in student bodies is desirable, in the interest of enthusiasm and honor, but total insupiration of authority is intolerable and is certain to be costly if not curbed."

You will notice that LINIT adheres well—never comes off on the clothing.
LINIT,when added to the bath produces a creamy "feel" to the water which makes it less irritating in cases of certain skin diseases.
The outstanding attraction of a LINIT Bath is the fact that the results are immediate. You need not wait weeks for some sign of improvement in your skin simply swish two or more handfuls of LINIT into your tub, bathe, and immediately you sense an entirely different, supple softness in your skin. Merely ask your grocer for a package of LINIT and follow the above suggestions.

DOROTHY PARKER, writing in the October 8 issue of The New Yorker, "shows up" some of our so-called white patrons and friends.
An "Arrangement in Black and White" tells interestingly of Walter Williams, a Negro artist, and a party or tea given in his honor by a white host. Mrs. Burton, the lady from the North who married a man from the South, talks at length to the host and to Mr. Williams about her lack of prejudice, and yet she wonders whether or not she should shake hands with the artist when being introduced to him.
Miss Parker, whoever she is, knows a thing or two about some of our would-be friends. Every sentence uttered by Mrs. Burton shows her innerself. She's white!

Be careful in your selection. During the long, dreary winter season the window plays a big part in making the home cheerful. Therefore, blend your colors. Consider your rugs, draperies and furnishings.
For instance, should your parlor suite be lape, it is not so difficult to use. Your darperies could be either red, green, gold or black.
On the other hand, if your parlor suite is red, it would not be good taste to use a jade green drape. However, gold or red and black would make a very effective combination.
If your furnishings are blue, avoid the use or brown or pink. Select shades of blue, silver or gold.

The Business Girls' Club opened on Tuesday evening. The program for the next two months was planned. A supper dance, with young men as guests, followed. With the combined co-operation of the cafeteria and of Mrs. Irene B. Grey, Mrs. Channing H. Tobias and Miss Ethel Miller of the Department Committee, there was good food for the supper. The music was very "peppy" and the soft cake light, the flowers and the pretty dresses of the girls added to the charm of the occasion. On next Tuesday there will be expert bridge instruction; on Tuesday, October 25, a discussion or current fiction. Throughout November the girls will do handcraft in leather. They will make pocket-books, belts, book covers and many articles suitable for gifts.
C. C. SPAULDING
A GRANDDADDY
DURHAM, N. C., Oct. 10 (By the Associated Negro Press).—Insurance, banking, educational, fraternal and social circles in this busy community all paused last week to extend congratulations to C. C. Spaulding, widely known and revered president of the North Carolina Mutual Company, because of an advent which gladdened his heart and those of all his friends. A bouncing baby boy was born to his daughter, Margaret, and her husband, A. Moore Shearlin, Jr., general manager of the Southern Surety and Fidelity Company. Mr. Spaulding, who has regained his health, was jubilant over the occasion and Durham predicts that a new star has arisen to carry out in the financial world.
Office Girl Poor Risk Insurance Doctor Finds
ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 10.—Typical young office women have poor figures and the death rate from tuberculosis among them is much higher than among men office workers, it was said last Thursday by Wade Wright of New York, assistant medical director of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in an address before the fourth annual convention of the Life Office Management Association at the Ambassador Hotel. Dr Wright said that offices are generally overheated, temperature being around 80 degrees; are badly lighted and ventilated and have improperly constructed chairs.

Columbus Hill Day
The regular monthly board meetings of the Columbus Hill Day Nursery, 224 West Sixty-third street, were resumed last Monday. This board, composed of men and women of both races, conducts the only Montessori class for Negro children.
The Montessori teacher gave up a month of her holidays to beautify the nursery rooms, which she painted in glowing colors—apple green, bitter-sweet, turquoise blue, rose, deep pink and pale yellow, which now combine to make a really colored nursery. Miss Finke also secured a plano for the nursery during the summer.
A tea will be given at the nursery on Friday, Oct. 14, from 3 until 6 o'clock. There will be no speeches and no appeal for funds.

"Tuberculosis peaks most notably among women between twenty and twenty-five years of age," he said.
"This is perhaps due to their mode of dress and life."
The average period of service for young business women is three years and then they marry, said F. L. Rowland, of Lincoln, Neb.

Perhaps you have noticed the quivering flesh of the stage dancers and wondered why it was jelly-like. Their flesh has become too lax and lossened; has lost the taut tone of youth. It may be that your own flesh needs this toning up. Observe your arms and see if the flesh above the elbow hangs a bit too much.
A great stage beauty gives a wonderful recipe for just this condition, which, if used, will give you a body of marble firmness. After

Fisk University Honors Memory of Original Band of Jubilee Singers
U.C. Napier, One of Trustees, Burns Notes for $149, 000 — World-Famous Institution Now Free of Debt — Original Singer Returns for Celebration
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 10.—Fisk University paid its tribute to the memory of its famed Jubilee Singers on October 6. This date was the fifty-sixth anniversary of the Jubilee Singers, a band of nine, who, together with George L. White, their music teacher, left Nashville October 6, 1871, to secure funds for Fisk University.
NATIONAL NEWS BRIEFS
LIGHT
The entire ceremony brought back in a vivid and dramatic way the trials of the Jubilee Singers. The singers left Nashville unheralded. Everyone despaired their success. They returned the darlings of both the United States and Europe. They had been commanded to sing before Queen Victoria, the King of Holland, the Emperor of Germany; they had been breakfasted by Gladstone, dined by the Earl of Shaftesbury, and painted by Queen Victoria's court painter, Havel. With them they brought nearly $100,000, with which they built Jubilee Hall. Sacrificing all their time to the university, this troupe of singers began a tradition of old religious folk songs which has lasted until the present. Each year since the university has sent out a band of singers. In 1926 they toured Europe and were applauded

Va., and was a graduate of Shaw University. He served his internship at Freeman Hospital.

Pullman Company Fights Porters' Plea
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The Pulman Company Saturday post issue before the Interstate Commerce Commission with Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, which recently protested that Pulman porters faced the necessity of receiving pay in part in tips from the traveling public.
The porters' complaint to the commission declared that uncertain returns from tips was a discrimination which the commission might remedy.
In the Pullman Company's answer, filed today, it was contended that the "real purpose of the petitioners was to secure an increase in wages and a change in working conditions." The Interstate Commerce Commission, it was added, has no jurisdiction over such matters because another arm of the Government has been expressly created by Congress to supervise railroad labor controversies.
The Second A.E.F. Invasion of France
SECOND SECTION
Visiting Americans Negroes Are Tendered Banquet by Comite de Defense de la Negre
By J. A. ROGERS
PARIS, Oct. 10. It was a great day—September 19—for France and the United States! The American Legion went over the top with one of the biggest parades in the history of the gay French capital!
Since the big riot in August there had been rumors of impending danger, of bombings by the Anarchists; debt settlements and lowered exchanges. It was also thought that Paris was going to produce a cool reception, but Paris opened its heart as only Paris can.
September 19 had been declared a national holiday and the image crowd that ten years before had greeted these same men from the great republic across the sea, bat with a quite different feeling at heart then, was out to enjoy itself and it did. It shouted, cheered, lauded, joked along the entire route of march, from the Avenue de la through the Arch of Triumph, down the Champs Elysees around the Place de la Concorde, through the Grande Boulevard, the Avenue de l'Opera to the grandstand at the Hotel de Ville and the Paris of Notre Dame.
*Victory Americains!*
*Three cheers for the United States!*
*Harvard for the American ladies!* *Poor beautiful and gracious they are!*
If there is a coolness for Americanism in France, it certainly was not known for that crowd during the three hours the parade lasted. When the dragons of the Garde Publicitaire, as brilliant and colorful in the days of Napoleon, through the Arch and the Les Titres preceded by the famous bandeau band appeared, the first circular crowd, kept back by Uniformed French soldiers, gave an immense shout of welcome. It is the third time in its history that a procession of any kind passed under this famous Arch when the Germans did not attack the triumph over France in 1819 and again in 1919 after the victory had been signed. Also at the parade had come the French Army. Auch佐勒曼 Savage of the Legion to pay homage to the tomb of the Uniformed Soldier, which lies under the Arch.
the bands and banner-bearers of the eight States and the District of Columbia made a brilliant and colorful picture. It was a joy for the eyes, a real spectacle, a piece of the French papers said. It was the orange yellow of Florida the blue tunic of Kenyan rugby team, the blue and yellow of Oklahoma helmets, blue, red and uniforms, drum-majors in the basketball caps—a multicolored short that stirred the applause of a crowd, which was, at the same time, amused and deeply moved within.
The delegates from Washington were preceded by a woman dressed in woman costume, who waved a term symbol of the Statue of Liberty. A delegation of nurses posed by the Ondula band of New York, played a large wreath or the comb of the Unknown Soldier.
The grants from the New York police and the tall drum-major of New York aroused great applause; the Pennsylvania delegation, which bound the largest. But the greatest donation was reserved for the American Indians in their white-colored Navajo blankets, which no Oklahoma delegation. Not less amusing was the attentive of the crowd to pronounce the names of the States on the banner. Maryland was called Marie L. Missouri was pronounced Missouri, while Massachusetts provided so much for everyone, going before the reviewing court, the head of the column, the Rue Royale. More than the expected 500 officials must have been locked in the gold and crimson stands which good near the Place de la Concorde entrance to the Tufters gardens. French cabinet Ministers, Senators, beauties were on the stand, as well as members of the diplomatic corps and distinguished French and American guests.
The parade disbanded in front of his name. It had been the first since Paris has had. The rain which has fallen almost every day since January, held up, as if by a minute, a few minutes before the storm started. The sun came out and he was some of whom carried, hammers, finally reached the end, they were hot and tired. But relief was at hand. At the foot of the street to the right of the helpline was a cafe, whose owner will never forget that parade, to matter who else does, for, if he was not made rich. It certainly was the fault of the legionnaires, who poured in and soon drank up his water, their way to the bar returned with foaming schooners of beer to drop into the nearest seat, drink it and return for more.

a great day—September 19—states! The American Legion of the biggest parades in the vital! Just there had been rumors of by the Anarchists; debt setes. It was also thought that a cool reception, but Paris is can.
Latin Quarter was filled with the thirsty marchers.
Pully seventy Negro veterans and lady auxiliary members took part in the parade, with New York having the greatest number. But two or three of the Southern States were represented. These delegates were received with the usual absence of color prejudice and that people for which the French people voted. Piloted by the Paris representative, The Amsterdam News and the westward EVERY WHERE, which means something in Paris—into the most elegant hotels and cafes—also into cabarets and other places in which were hundreds of legionnaires from Florida, Alabama, Georgia and other States. Many of the Negro legionnaires, fresh from the land of restrictions, were reluctant at first to take part in these festivities, but when they saw how they were spontaneously being welcomed by proprietors of every town, high or low, into which they were begun to thaw, and soon champagne orks were popping, and a crowd began to laugh. Whatever feeling they had in their minds that the French people had been changing under American influence has been thoroughly dissipated.
It must have been a bitter blow for many of the white legionnaires, but whatever they felt they gave no outward sign, and not a single "color" incident occurred. On the other hand, many of the white legionnaires were enthusiastic at the presence of the Negro veterans in the dune halls and other places and insisted on buying them drinks. The same held true at all the high-level functions given by the French Government and private individuals. Here they were received not only by the police but with marked attention. Dr. Thouas as Jones of Washington, D.C. one of the few legionnaires wearing the Distinguished Service Cross, received so many social engagements that he had to have a secretary, the same being myself.
One of the big features of the convention for the Negro delegates was a banquet and dance given by the Comite de Defense de la Race Negre, an organization of French Negroes, at the cafe Turqueti, Boulevard St. Germain. The presidee, the organization, Georges Forgues, the organizer, welcomed, said how much he had admired the spirit and the progress of the American Negroes and said that, though they appeared dismuted, they were much more united than they themselves believed. Colonel Ward of the Tuskegee Veterans' Hospital said, in response, that M. Forgues had touched a cord that would bring a ready response, "not a feeling of antagonism to the Caucasian race, but to make the world happier and better against any man. We do not want to take the white man's place. We can make our own place, and we guarantee that it will not prove a hurt to him, but a blessing."
Other speakers were: Lawrence Oxley of Raleigh, N. C., who asked for a period of silence and bowed heads in memory of the 4,000 Negro dead sleeping not many miles away on the battlefields: Dr. King of Truksgege, Dr. Thomas Jones, Vincent Durand of Dahomey, and myself, who spoke for the Negro press and told of some of the accomplishments of the French Negro.
The banquet was organized by F. Montia, a graduate of science from the botany department, who acted as master of ceremonies. M. Montia proved not only an excellent speaker, but he was the hit of the evening, entertaining the visitors with Apache dances and his brilliant wit and vivacity.

Gold Coast Africa is rising to a position of great economic importance. Recently L. J. Schwartz, United States Commissioner to study the cocoa industry of Gold Coast, reported: "All products of the Gold Coast are grown on the land of the natives. The cultivation is excellent. It is regrettable that exports from this land should be handled by European brokers, and that the people of West Africa by reason of this fact and also because manufactured American goods have to pass through the hands of European brokers are greatly handicapped. They have been inspiring why the United States has not appointed a consul there as well as a trade representative."
it recommends that as this step is so vital to the economic life of America that the government should give its immediate attention. In a summary he further said: "In short, our business with West Africa is being carried on a compulsion basis, which in the long run will not benefit America." The chiefs of Africa have more

PARIS, Oct. 10.—"The Legionnaires 'came and saw,' but did they conquer while in session here? Obviously convention legislation was a secondary consideration; few committees did the serious work. In short, it is believed by many who attended the convention that the whole proceedings were a failure. The "Forty and Eight." an offshoot organization of the Legion, controlled the situation.
The outstanding questions concerning Negro Legionnaires never reached the convention floor. It is not known whether or not the committees even discussed them.
The convention leaders became disgusted when they found that most of the delegates were more concerned about their entertainment than they were about legislation. Many delegates were seated in the downtown drinking establishments when they should have been attending to affairs of the Legion. The sentiment seemed to be "to h—— with legislation. Let's drink while we're in France."
Among the serious-minded delegates, however, who placed Legion matters first were: Major Larkland L. F. Hewitt, commanding officer of the Third Battalion, 372d Infantry, M. N. G.; Colonel J. I. Ward, in charge of the Veterans Hospital No. 91 in Tuskegee, Aha, and Mrs. Manie V. White, delegate from Los Angeles.
Parts, like New York, saw its chance to "cash in" on the visitors, Hotel bills were enormous. The cable offices did an immense business sending messages to American soldiers.
The Legion passports do not expire until December 1. Many of the delegates and visitors are therefore, how touring distant points on the continent.

Colored Players in Exhibition Opener Defeated the Young Men's Hebrew Association 'Varsity Five in Great Game at 92d Street Gym Last Week
It took Georgie Fiall to spring to the fore in the basketball opener with the highest score last week when the Renaissance Five, in their tryout exhibition before coming before their followers, defeated the crack varsity team of the Young Men's Hebrew Association by 40-23 score.
The game was fast and exciting, with Fiall coming to the fore with seven baskets, closely followed by "Pappy" Ricks with five free shots. The white boys contested every inch of ground, with Greenberg battling hard to gain the high score position on his team with three baskets.

Warshaw and Feinstein followed their team mate with two baskets each. While satisfied with the victory which his team brought him right off the jump, Manager Doug has stated that the klunks which is noticed with his players must be fully worn out before he feels fully satisfied with the team as a whole. Incidentally, he decided to withhold any announcement of the full line up to take the court for the season, stating that it is his intention of giving the fans a surprise on Sunday night.
Messrs. Sibley, King, Douglas and Mercer are confident that the present season will find just as enthusiastically a reception for the team as in the past, and hastened to ask the writer to convey their full precondition for the support which they have enjoyed during the past seasons, with a promise of a warm welcome to the large concourse to be out this week end.
Those Bronx players billed to tackle the Renaissance on the opening night are again coming here with the firm intention of trying to spike the guns of Captain Slocum and his men early in the season. They are satisfied with their condition and feel that the Renaissance will have to step on the gas to wrest victory from them.

The heavier and more experienced visitors are top-heavy favorites to defeat the Jersey school boys. But the youngsters on the Delaware River bank have an uncanny trick of upsetting the dope in athletics. They are confident that they will give their opponents a tremendous light, and feel that their chances are good for scampering away with a victory.

It is likely that Pinky Clark and other Morgan backs will find more difficulty in piercing the Jersey territory than was the case last year at Baltimore. Wilson, a new player, is handling the quarter position well, and Heard is getting distance to his kicking. The rest of the schedule will not permit a let down for Coach Granger, as games with Dover State College on the 22d at Dover, Del. Cheyney Normal School at Bordentown on November 5. Stoney College on the 12th, and Princess Anne Academy on Thanksgiving Day will test the mettle of his stalwarts to the utmost.

Showing Up Jack Kearns
Walk Miller, Manager of "Tiger" Flowers, to Sue Man Who Kept Harry Wills Out of the Money
Sporting Editor N. Y. Amsterdam News,
While the enclosed letter explains its own purpose, I feel that a few added words in behalf of the situation will not be amiss.
When Tiger Flowers signed to meet Mickey Walker in Chicago it was stipulated in the contract that, in the event Flowers lost, he would get a return match within ninety days. Also that Walker would not meet anyone in defense of his title until he had fulfilled this agreement. Both, as the entire sporting world knows, have been broken.
Consequently I am bringing suit against Kearns and Walker for $500,000 damages, both in New York and California, for breach of contract, and before I am through Jack will know about PROCESS SERVERS from a different angle.
Nothing more can be said of the decision Benny Yanger rendered in Chicago that has not already been printed. The fact that the boxing commission of Illinois held three meetings, endeavoring to find a clause in the boxing law whereby they could reverse the decision, and failing, ruled judges would assist the referee in rendering decision in the future, speaks for itself.
Flowers claims and will defend the middle and light heavyweight titles. He has already defeated most of the prominent ones in the larger class, including Pat McCarty, Maxie Rosenbloum, Harry Dillon, Frank Moody, Lee Anderson, Bing Conley, Georgie Robinson, Benny Ross, Tommy Robson, Allentown Joe Gans, Pete Latzo, Bob Fitzsimmons, Bob Sage, Mike McTigue, Lou Bogash (four times), Chuck Wiggans (four times), Eddie Huffman (three times), and is ready for McTigue. Slattery and Loughran, although all three have refused to meet him.
Any co-operation you may see fit to give the Deacon in this matter of the Walker match will be greatly appreciated, and, as I feel that his cause is just, you will be aiding in the assisting of righting a wrong that has cast a shadow over the game since December 3 of last year.
An exact reproduction of Item No. 4, taken from the original articles signed by Jack Kearns and myself with the Madison Square Garden Corporation before the Flowers-Walker match at Chicago. December 3, 1926, is printed below, showing the exact reasons for my suit against Kearns and how he breached this contract:
Item No. 4—Party of the second part herein agrees to have the said Mickey Walker meet "Tiger" Flowers within three months' time from the date of the Chicago match, Dec. 3, 1926, at New York in a fifteen round match for the middleweight world's championship, and herein acknowledges that he has this day signed articles with the Madison Square Garden Corporation to take part in this return match, provided Mickey Walker is declared the world's middleweight champion by the referee at the conclusion of the match at Chicago, Ill., Dec. 3, 1926. He further agrees herein that should Mickey Walker be declared the world's champion at Chicago that he will not appear in any boxing contest or match where the middleweight title is at stalke until or before he has taken part in a match with "Tiger" Flowers, which has this day been signed for and agreed upon under the promotion of the Madison Square Garden Corporation of New York, N. Y.
ANOTHER REASON FOR THE BREACH Extract
Times-Leader, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Saturday Evening, Oct. 1, 1927
By Effie Welsh
If there ever was an uncrowned champion, that fighter is the Deacon, "Tiger" Flowers, of Georgia. Last night before the largest number of fans who ever witnessed a fistic show in the coal regions saw Flowers decisively defeat Pete Latzo in a thrilling ten round battle. Speedy and clever, with the same ring generalship as Tommy Loughran showed against Johnny Risko, Flowers won thousands of admirers by his brilliant fighting. He was not only the aggressor, but stood toe to toe with the idol of the anthracite and swapped punches. Against Latzo, one of the foremost contenders, he looked unbeatable and it is hard for the fans in this region to understand how he ever lost the middleweight title to Mickey Walker. On the strength of his showing here last night, fans say, he can beat Mickey Walker once every night and twice on every holiday, as Flowers devotes every Sunday to a day of rest and prayer. He is known to the sporting fans as the whitest colored boxer who ever graced the roped arena and he has always been and always will be a credit to the game.
As manager of "Tiger" Flowers I wish to state that he would possibly have hung up more than fifty per cent of his wins by the knockout route had he so desired. He has steadfastly adhered to his policy not to ever hit a defenseless opponent when one reaches the stage where he is unable to defend himself and the referee has failed in his duty of stopping the affair. The "Deacon" relents in his attack, being satisfied in demonstrating his superiority. Should a man of this character be deprived of his just rights due to the color of his skin?
Thanking you in behalf of Flowers and myself, I am, Gratefully

Pete Sanstol, Norwegian flyweight, made quick work of Frankie Gallagher in the semi-final broil, knocking out the substitute for Routier Para after two minutes of battling in the second round. Sanstol never had anything to worry about, looking all over the winner from the opening gong.
HARLEMITES CAN SEE FIGHT
Dempsey and Tunney Doing Their Stuff at the Alhambra Theatre
To the enterprising new management of the Alhambra Theatre the Harlem public owes a debt of gratitude for securing the Dempsey-Tunney fight films, concerning which so much controversy is raging.
There was great expense and also much difficulty in securing these films, which were made under the direction of Tex Rickard for the purpose of exhibition in Madison Square Garden.
Huge batteries of tremendously-powered electric lights were used, and the motion picture cameras were mounted high up on a platform held by a huge steel column. Every move of the fighters was caught from many angles, and only the films that give the most satisfactory views were used.
The result is that a person seeing these films actually gets a better view than those who occupied the highest-priced seats at Soldier Field in Chicago. The much debated seventh round is shown twice—once in the usual manner and again in slow motion, so that every move may be critically analyzed.
It is a liberal sporting education to see the Dempsey-Tunney films, and it really costs nothing to see them at the Alhambra, as the management, in a liberal spirit, has added the films to the regular program without increasing the price of admission.
Harlem is ringing with the praises of the Alhambra management, as the same films are exhibited at downtown theatres at 2 a seat.
EDWARDS TO RUN FOR CAN.
EDWARDS TO RUN FOR CAN.
Will Carry Canadian Colors in Olympic Games Next Summer
Phil Edwards, who wears the colors of New York University and the Holy Name Club on the track, is to represent Canada in the Olympic Games at Amsterdam next summer. Some weeks ago Edwards, who lives at 229 West 139th street, knocked over the Canadian record for 800 meters, which had stood for fifteen years. This Violet flier ran around a field of thirty struggling contenders at Hamilton. Ont., to hit the tape in one minute and fifty-five seconds. Edwards plans to leave New York for Hamilton when his work at New York University closes next spring. He will get a full month's training there before he calls for Europe.
It is believed that Edwards, who was born in Guajinas, would have taken out citizenship papers in time to wear the Stars and Stripes at the Olympic had he been urged sufficiently.
Claflin and Morris Brown Tie in Interstate Clash
ORANGEBURG. S. C.—The Claflin machine showed much improvement over last week and fought hard against her interstate rivals of the Morris Brown College of Atlanta, by score 6-6. Claflin was the first to cross a goal line when Whitfield, a newcomer, snagged a pass and ran thirty yards for a marker. Bythe wood failed to kick the extra point. All scoring was in the second half. Morris Brown after the touchdown by Claflin made a determined drive from their thirty yard line and after two successive downs drove their way over the goal line. The kick for extra point was blocked. It was nip and tuck throughout the struggle, with Claflin having the edge in making more first downs than the visitors. Another hard fight is expected Friday. Oct. 14, when Claflin meets N. C. Normal of Fayetteville, N. C., on the home grounds.
Whalen and Henderson in Return Battle Saturday
Eddie Kid Whalen, National Guard welterweight champion, and Billy Henderson, best of the colorado lads in regimental circles, will hook up in a return bout of ten rounds at the Fourteenth Regiment Armory, Saturday night.
Ralph Lundis, of the 106th, and Pete Martin, of the 102nd; Mickey White and Johnny Ferris, both of the Fourteenth, will meet in eight rounders. Young Marino and Rocco Napoli, both of the home outfit, will clash in a six-round event. A pair of four rounders will open the show.

Fine Crowd at Aviation Field to See Battlers in Action
Lee Willetts, of Oyster Bay, was a badly beaten puglist at the end of the fourth round of his encounter with Frank Konchina, of Fort Hamilton, at Mitchel Field last Wednesday night, and his manager decided he had enough for the evening. Konchina was given the decision by a technical knockout in the fourth stanza.
The Oyster Bay boy had a one-pound advantage over the soldier, who weighed 137. During the first three rounds Konchina stepped around Willetts, who did not seem to mind this in the beast and kept pace with his speedy opponent. The fourth round was different, however, when the soldier let go some wicked right-hand smashes that landed all over the Oyster Bay representative's chin, nose and ears and sent him to the canvas. The first time he listened to the nine toll Willetts' chin served as port for a cargo of left and right hand drives. He arose but at the close of the round Konchina got home a hard right uppercut and Willetts was saved by the bell. He could not come out for the fifth round. This feature was scheduled to go eight rounds.
The semi-final of eight rounds was the best bout of the night. Harry Rawlinson of Rockville Center, 112 pounds, and Jimmy Colombo, of Jamaica, 115 pounds, put up a whale of a scrap and were roundly anlauded after Referee Chuck Oldis announced the contest a draw.
A four-round opener brought together Young Simonettl, of Floral Park, 137 pounds, and Robby Weller, of Brooklyn, 137 pounds. This was an uninteresting affair, both gentlemen fenting about the ring during the time they were supposed to be hitting each other. Simonettl

got the decision at the close of the fourth.
The second four-rounder between Jimmy' Jones of Long Beach, 142 pounds, and Red Smith, 140 pounds, of the U. S. S. Oregon, a corker. Both men were wild and hit each other with every sort of a punch known to fightology. The crowd of 1,500 seemed to be saying "this cannot continue long." The crowd was right, for after 2 minutes and 46 seconds Jones found the sailor's chin and he hit the canvas and 10 Salvation Army workers could not stir the gob who was down and out for keeps.
The special six-round bout between Franklin Minerva, 117-pound product of Corona, and Young Farrell, 118-pounder of Jamaica, ended in a draw. Red Schaeffer of Huntington, 160 pounds, had a tough time of it for six rounds before he decided to remain on the floor when Jack Bealel, weighing 164 pounds, pasted him around throughout their engagement. Red took everything the colored lad had but it wasn't in the books for Red to stay the limit, and with 41 seconds to go he could not get up after getting a stiff left on the button.

Townsend Wins
Roberto Roberti, the heavy-weight giant from Italy, got a draw with Jack Townsend at Ebbets Field last Thursday night in the six-rounder. The Italian took the first two rounds, during which Townsend did little but hold and run.
Townsend came back in the third and fourth to outbox Roberti and score the most damaging punches of the fight and then went back into his shell in the last two rounds and was content to hold his own. Roberti weighed 220½ against Townsend's 154½.

Anderson won the decision after three rounds of fast stepping and hard hitting. Both boys finished strongly, but Anderson's aggressiveness earned him the award.

S. C. State Runs Roughshod Over N. C. Normal
FAYETTEVILLE, N. C.—The State Gridders of South Carolina traveled to the lair of the N. C. Normal Bears of Fayetteville to run roughshod and score at will. The game, after much stubborn resistance, ended 19-0 in favor of the "Wilkinsonians."
Coach Smith reports much good work done by his line and backfield. His line was superb while the backfield, like a well oiled machine, made their touchdowns at will. "Bama" Cunningham, versatile halfback, was deliberately injured and put out of the game after his effective interference and fast end runs. For the South Carolina aggregation goes many laurels. Coach Smith and Assistant Coach Hickman are very much pleased with the showing of their wards and promise to be the outstanding threat for Conference honors this year. Much work is to be done this week to get in shape for a hard game in Orangeburg when the Garnet Waves meet the N. C. College Hill Toppers on Saturday, October 15.

Aquino's reach, coupled with his fistic ability, was too much for Collenstein to cope with.
The bout between Toby Felson and Dave Washington, Newark Prep, provided plenty of thrills for the fans. The three rounds were fought at a terrific pace, with Washington, the second dusky chap Felson encountered throughout the course of the evening, thing badly at the end. Washington had all the better of the opening round, bothering Toby with a right. The second round found Felson with a right defense for Washington's right prize, and the latter was on the receding end of several hard shots as well. The third was all Felgans. Toby coming close to putting the sleeper on Dave when the bell sounded. The decision was unanimous.

CAPO TOO MUCH FOR TOM REILLY
Cannon Defeated Rube Simmons of the Salem Crescent Club
Tony Capo, Vanos leather pusher, weighing 110 pounds, showed some real class last Friday night in the ring of the Astoria Council K. of C., where he knocked out Tom Reilly, pride of the Council, in two rounds. In the final bout Tony also came through and in three fast rounds defeated Meyer Kaplan, Trinity Club.
This was the best bout of the evening. Both boys showed rare speed and ability to take and give. Kaplan had the better of the first stanza but once Tony learned to duck Meyer's right he had things pretty much his own way, though the Trinity boy landed a few which did not do Capo any good. The decision was approved and both boys received a loud ovation as they left the ring. Summary:

"HELL FIGHTER IN DRAW
Jimmy Kelly, holder of the featherweight championship of the New York National Guard, had a tough time of it against Bobby Andrews, star boxer of the 369th infantry, in the main bout of eight rounds at the 106th Infantry Armory last Thursday night. The decision of draw was well received. Kelly's work in the closing rounds, the officials thought, cut down the early lead piled up by the colored boy. In the eight-round semi-final Carroll Settl. flyweight of the 14th Infantry, won the decision over George Muligna, a Filipino from the same outfit. The Filipino was the aggressor most of the time, but had difficulty in getting past the accurate left hand of Settl, the prolific use of which enabled the latter to win.
The best boxing of the card was in the eight-rounder preceding the semi-final, in which Eddie Paradise and Charley Young boxed a draw. These boys were also from the 14th Regiment. It was fast from start to finish, with neither lad giving much ground.
There was some dissension expressed over the verdict in the first eight-rounder, which brought together Tommy Abola, of the 102d Medical Corps and Nick De Salvo of the Flushing Infantry, two bantams. The decision went to De Salva, who really appeared to have a shade, despite the howls of disapproval with which the crowd greeted the decision.

Well Known Harlemite Passes Away
J. R. Valentine, 47 years old, former head bellman, and late assistant captain of Pennsylvania station porters, was stricken on Sunday evening, Oct. 2, 1927, with paralysis while performing his duties. He was rushed to a hospital, but never regained consciousness, and passed away at 5:20 Tuesday morning.
Funeral services were held over his remains on Wednesday evening at the undertaking establishment of Grandville Panis, 151 West 131st street. Captain L. Osborne with his staff of two hundred and fifty men marched down on the platform at S:40 to the car. The Rev. C. M. Brahuean and H. Harrison conducted the services while the Pennsylvania Quartetto sang "Deep River" and "Absent." C. M. Hill reordered "I Come to Thee." The body was then taken to the Pennsylvania station, where it was met by six Red Caps in uniform, and taken to train 189 leaving at S:45 for the South.
AFRICAN BOXER BEATS BALDOCK
English Fighter Was Signed to Meet Bud Taylor for Title
LONDON, Oct. 7.—Willie Smith, the African 120-pounder, defeated Teddy Baldock, of England, in a 15-round bout at Albert Hall last night.
The bout officially opened the boxing season and was well attended, in view of the fact that Baldock is scheduled to fight Bud Taylor, of Terre Haute, Indiana, for the world's bantamweight championship.
The South African's victory was a disappointment to English fans, but they applauded the decision, as it was easily recognized that Smith was by far the better man. The fourth round was the hardest fought of the bout, with Baldock securing the most points. Smith, however, was clever in stepping out of any danger. In this fray, also, Baldock made several mute appeals to the referee against Smith's holding tactics. In the sixth and seventh the African boy's superiority began to assert itself. In the eighth Baldock went to the canvas from a left to the point of the law.
With the Billiardists
The Colored Amateur Billard Players' Assn. was reorganized on the evening of October 3 in their club rooms, which are located in the Lafayette Emporium, 132d street and Seventh avenue.
President C. E. Scott called the meeting to order with a few brief remarks, welcoming the old members back as well as the new ones who added their names to the roll.
Thirty-three members were present and witnessed an exhibition 18:2 balkline billard match of 150 points played by Mr. Andrew Richardson and Mr. Roy Holland. Mr. Richardson won with 150 points—Mr. Holland 108.
Some very wonderful music was furnished during the evening by Mr. E. Lewis, saxophone; Mr. Isahal Middleton, banjo, and Mr. Walter Thompson, piano. Popular songs were sung by Messrs. Clarence Jones, Roy Holland, C. Young Jr. and Andrew Richardson. A banjo solo that was enjoyed by all was played by Mr. Middleton, with Mr. Paussaint at the piano. A very palatable collation was served to all.
Some of the "old-timers" present were ex-President Oscar Rich, Clarence Jones, R. L. Wade, John B. Payne, C. E. Scott, Walter Jenkins, Lindsey Farr and J. S. Webb. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: President, C. E. Scott; vice-president, Andrew Richardson; secretary, Walter E. Thompson; assistant secretary, E. Lewis; treasurer, W. H. Willis; manager, R. B. Minor; steward, Martin Norman.
Very shortly the Salem-Crescent Club will promote amateur boxing shows in Harlem. The boys hope to stage bi-monthly shows at reasonable prices, possibly on Tuesday evenings.
The boys of the distance team were competing last Saturday in the annual Portchester Marathon over the regular route. Nine boys were entered.

MOREHOUSE IN GREAT GAME
Coach Harvey's World-Beaters Whitewash Benning Eleven
ATLANTA, Georgia, October 8. Coach Harvey took advantage of the second opportunity to test the mettle of his charges in a non-conference game with Fort Benning of Columbus, Georgia, here yesterday. Three teams of the Maroon combination were given chances to turn back the soldiers, and all acquitted themselves creditably.
Morehouse's touchdowns came in the first, second, and fourth quarters, by McNatt, Blackburn, and Grice respectively. Moseley kicked for the first extra point and a pass from Finley to Eberhardt completed the second.
Bennings' backs, on the whole, made a fair showing, the line presenting very little difficulty to the plunging Morehouse backs. Both Morehouse lines (first two teams) were adamant on the defense. The outstanding barrier to Morehouse's onslaught was the inability to complete passes. Two beautiful tosses from Moseley sailed into the end zone incomplete. Benning showed a decided ability in cutting off end runs and breaking up passes. Herd and Hodges played well for the visitors, while Wilson, Grice, Edmond, Moseley, Mann and Dago were the Morehouse luminaries.
The game with Benning had to be hurriedly arranged, following the failure of Allen University to keep her contract with Morehouse.

The Coleman Tigers, a black and white combination of basketball players, playing professional (and amateur, they say) basketball, is ready for the big season now at hand and prepared to meet the best in the game.
Charley Jacques, all-New Jersey State player; Millard Patterson, the best center in northern New Jersey, make up the white end of the outfit, with Nat Vincent, Asbury Park's fast forward, and the diminutive Roger Brown, ex-college and scholastic star from the Southwest, making up the colored end of the team. The boys tell us that they are in a position to offer excellent home court facilities and pay good guarantees, hence those desiring games can drop a line to their headquarters at 1114 Springwood avenue, Asbury Park, N.

Manual Training Defeats St. John A. A. of Phila.
The boys of the green jerseys representing the St. John A. A. of Philadelphia suffered their third consecutive defeat at the hands of the Bordentown Manual Training School team on Saturday. This is the third year that the team has played and has been defeated. But the St. John team showed a great improvement over previous teams in all departments of the game. It took Bordentown four periods to put over a lonely touchdown. The field was wet and the ball very hard to handle but the running of Wilson and Williams for Bordentown gave the home team the difference between a tie score and victory.
TENTH ANNIVERSARY BALL of
The St. John team missed their chance for a touchdown when they fumbled on the ten yard line. They had marched down the field and when a long forward pass put them on the ten yard line they lost the ball by a fumble. Bordentown's goal line was never in danger after that. Bordentown scored, its touch down on a fake which completely fooled St. John. Dorsey made the touchdown for Bordentown and ran twenty yards without being extended. He practically walked across

Dempsey-Tunney Fight Pictures Being Shown at Alhambra Theatre This Week
Dempsey-Tunney Fight Pictures Being Shown at Alhambra Theatre This Week
Marvelously Clear Film of Champion and Challenger Will Serve to Draw Big Houses to the Local House During Run of the Picture
The especially exciting feature of the program this week at the New Alhambra is the official and complete motion pictures of the now famous world's championship battle between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney. The pictures are marvelously clear and give a far better view of the contest at Soldier Field than was had by those who traveled to Chicago at great expense. Many cameras were used—all levelled on the fighters from different points and at different angles—and only the films giving the best idea of each move were assembled for the official pictures. All ten rounds are shown.

The especially exciting fea at the New Alhambra is the pictures of the now famous w between Jack Dempsey and Gen The pictures are marveler view of the contest at Se those who traveled to Chica cameras were used—all levelled points and at different angles—best idea of each move were tures. All ten rounds are show
The famous seventh round about which so much controversy continues to rage is shown—and is then repeated by the slow motion process, so that each person may form his own idea as to the fairness or unfairness of the referee's decision. During the fight film there is much applause by the friends of one or the other. But everybody united in applauding the enterprising new management of the Alhambra for bringing to Harum this historic film. No other theatre has it.
The film was made by direction of Fox Bickford for presentation and son Square Garden.
Before the light films, there is no original comedy show, "Sitting Portrait," in which Lena Wilson she her bow to Harlem admirer her long absence in London and elsewhere in Europe. She was featured in the enormously successful "Blackbirds," of which the star was Florence Mills. Miss Wilson makes several delightful appearances, all of which are appreciated, but when she begins her well-known hit, "Don't Advertise Your Man," the response is underood.
Macco Pinkard's "Show Boat" is splendidly put over by Kitty Browne, George Parker and the nifty girls.
Tim Moore plays his celebrated characterization of Uncle Tom and Simon Legree, in which Harry Lucas, "Shorty," is comical as Little Era.
"Georgia Boo Boo" is rendered by Rose Henderson with the vim and dash for which she is noted. Emmett Anthony and George W. Cooper have unlimited fun in "The Bathub Mystery." Slim Henderson introduces his grotesque comedy in "The Undertaker's Daughter."
The girls have a parade in gorgeous costumes, while George Booker delivers "A Night in June" in his delightful tenor fashion.
The climax of the comedy comes when Tim Moore and George Green, stripped for combat—and superb looking men they are—start a prizefight that is a riot of fun, along with real science by Tim Moore, who was at one time a leading figure in the ring.
"Seventh Avenue Strollers" Next Week.
The new offering at the Alhambra will be "Seventh Avenue Strollers," a comedy with plenty of music and dancing. Lena Williams will have a prominent part and plenty of chance to display the talents that brought this Harlem girl fame in London.
Man Tan, known as "the California Nut," is among the newcomers to the Alhambra troupe and brings an odd and unusual type of comedy to Harlem's big theatre.
A surprise playlet is in preparation, in which Emmett Anthony leads the funds and also renders several songs in his highly individual style. The audiences never fall to encore Emmett's vocal numbers.
Among the Alhambra girls there are various new faces, recognized by their friends when they trip out upon the illuminated runway.
The Derpsey-Tunney championship fight pictures will be shown a few days longer, if the public demand continues. At present they are attracting very large, but perfectly orderly crowds.
Carolynne Snowden Here
Like a ray of sunshine from the sunkist shores of her native California, Miss Carolynne Snowden dropped in on Monday evening guided by the genial Mr. Noah Thompson to pay her respects to the greater city, Miss Snowden was introduced to the readers of the page a few weeks back, at which time we disclosed that she was the outstanding female motion picture performer In the country.
Vivacious, charming, and blessed with unusual personality, it was not hard to discover some of the things which made the wonderful success she has scored on California's golden sands. This girl of the Golden West is here for but a short stay, deciding to leave the city's hustle and bustle within a week. Of course, Miss Snowden announced such as her intention but a few hours after her arrival he—hours wherein she had possibly been overwhelmed by the bright lights and canyons of Harlem. We are hoping that after two dawns with their beautiful October sunshine will be sufficient to induce Miss Carolynne to make her stay here much longer.
DEMPSEY-TUNNEY FIGHT FILMS IN HARLEM "Jazzmania" Going Over Nicely at Lafayette
A
MISS EDITH WILSON, Lately Returned From Europe, Where She Appeared With Florence Mills, Is Starring With Robinson's "Jazzmania" at the Lafayette This Week.
Great Picture At Lafayette
Screen Version Is Greater Than Play, Critics
Say
A little more than three years ago two young men employed on the staff of the New York World decided to collaborate on a play. They were Maxwell Anderson, an editorial writer, and Laurence Stallings, an assistant dramatic editor. Stallings had been a captain of the Marines in the Second Division in France during the war; he had been terribly wounded and had been confined in various hospitals for nearly five years. Maxwell Anderson had written one or two successful plays before. The result of their plans for a great war comedy-drama was "What Price Glory?"
As a stage play "What Price Glory" was the most powerful, the most talked-of, the most loved and the most crislified play of the generation. The gripping war episodes, the strong talk of the soldiers and the marines, the upraproious comedy were unequalled in any play at any time.
And now comes the picture—far greater than the play could possibly be, because it can picture in unforgettable scenes the mighty, terrifying, inspiring spectacle of a world at war—with thousands upon thousands of actors.
"What Price Glory" will be shown at the Lafayette next week. Not content with showing what is commonly recognized as the world's greatest motion picture, the management will also present one of the finest revues on the road—Bessio Smith and her "Harlem Follies."
At the Roosevelt
A cast of unusual excellence interpters the attrition action of the remarkable F. B. O. production, "The Groat Mull Robbery," which comes to the Roosevelt Theatre this week for an engagement. Heading the feminine contingent of players is the lovely Jeanne Morgan, a recent graduate of the Paramount School, and now regarded as "star material" of the most promising sort. One of the principal male roles is in the hands of Lee Shumway, a veteran of the industry who began his film services with the Lubin company in 1913, and starred in Lubin films for many years. Another leading role is played by Theodor yn Eltz, also formerly a star in his own right, and in pictures for only a year less than Shumway.

Theatre Boys Presenting Program for Church
The Theatre Boys, headed by George Caldwell, are presenting a big midnight gambol at the Lafayette Theatre on Tuesday night, October 15, for the benefit of the Grace, Congregational Church of which Reverend Garner is the pautor.
The combined orchestras from the Palace Theatre and the New York Hippodrome will furnish the music for the great array of acts billed to appear. Jack Osterman, popular entertainer and well known to Harlemites, will act as master of ceremonies, with Frank Sullivan and Dan Cummings as stage directors.
Miss Justine Alexander is looking after the church end of the affair and putting every ounce of energy forward to make the affair the success of which it is so reliably deserving. We understand that already a large number of tickets have been disposed of, giving an indication of the big night in store for theatre goers.
Annual Fall Reception Of Popular Postos Club
Invitations are now going out for the annual fall reception of the popular Postos Club which will be held on Friday night, October 21, at Manhattan Casino. The feature of this year's reception will be Bill Vodrey's Plantation Orchestra and Fletcher Henderson and his Roseland Orchestra. The Postos, as usual featuring fine music, this year are fortunate in presenting each of these crunch orchestras for the first time this season in New York. Vodrey and his musicians have just returned from a highly successful season in London and the ever popular Fletcher has just taken up his old stand at the Roseland on Broadway after a long engagement at the Congress Hotel in Chicago. Both orchestras will vie for the public approval on their first appearance and, as a consequence, those who are among the fortunate to receive invitations and who at-
tend are certain to be treated to one of the finest musical events ever heard in New York. The usual high class attendance of all Postox affluents is expected that night. The new officers of the club are: John N. Wilson, president; James A. Smith, vice-president; Charles H. Wilson, secretary; and Charles W. Axt, treasurer. The members include: Fred Moultrie, Will J. Truley, Arthur E. Savage, Granville Dash, James D. King, Walter O. Coleymore and James Washington.
Drake and Walker Producing New Show
Henry Drake announces that he is hard at work on his new show "My Chocolate Gal." Drake will use his entire company in his new vehicle and will add about ten well-known entertainers. He expects to make "My Chocolate Gal" his best production. "My Chocolate Gal" will be shown at the Lafayette Theatre during the week beginning October 24.
At the Douglas
Jean Hersholt, whom many critics regard as the most versatile actor on the screen, appears once more in a sympathetic and liable role one of the few he has ever portrayed.
It is in "Alias the Deacon," the Universal-Jewel of which he is the star, and which comes to the Douglas Theatre.
Hersholt, within the past few years, has played every conceivable kind of role, and his striking characterizations have been the outstanding feature of every picture in which he has appeared.
AMATEUR BOUTS AT N. Y. A. C.
Entry blanks have been issued by the New York Athletic Club for an amateur boxing tournament to be held at the Winged Foot clubhouse, the preliminary bouts to be decided on Friday night, Oct. 21, and the finals on Monday, Oct. 24.
Six classes have been listed for decision, ranging from 112 to 160 pounds.

It is clean, fast, likable melodrama and you'll enjoy all of Daredevil Dix's exploits. You'll cheer as Richard gets his broken-down auto tractor to move and you'll fall in the slough of despair as it falls him at a crucial moment. You'll laugh when Dix vanquishes his villainous rival for Miss Brian's hand and shouts of encouragement will come again and again as Dix finally gets his old machine to start up a porlous, rainsanked hill in order to reach an overflowing dam in time to save the valley town below.

This Great Healing Oil Must Speedily Bring Comforting Relief To Tired, Aching, Swollen Feet
Or Your Money Back. That's the Plan on Which Moone's Emerald Oil Is Sold by All Good Druggists
This wonderful preparation now known all over America as Moone's Emerald Oil is so efficient in the treatment of inflammatory foot troubles that the unbearable soreness and pain often stop with one application.
Moone's Emerald Oil is safe and pleasant to use; it doesn't stain or leave a greasy residue. It is so powerfully antiseptic and deodorant that all unpleasant odors resulting from excessive foot perspiration are instantly killed
Be patient; don't expect a single bottle to do it all at once, but one bottle we know will show you beyond all question that you have at last discovered the way to solid foot comfort.
It's a wonderful formula—this combination of essential oils with camphor and other antiseptics so marvelous that thousands of bottles are sold annually for reducing varicose or swollen veins. All druggists sell lots of it.

**Rush Memorial Church**
The Rev. Z. A. Jones, one of Zion's saintwarm men, delivered a theological theatrical symphony on the Call of the priestly mission. This was based on the incident by which Saul of Tarsus, whose name was later changed to Paul, was called from the persecution of the Christians to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Board of Stewardesses, Mrs. C. P. Walker, president, assembled a clock with their friends in the museum historian and retained autonomy to host a stirring and powerful sermon by the Rev William P. Hayes, pastor of M.

System Filled With Poison as a result of CONSTIPATION
Mr. R. J. Black, of Kelton, S. C., says: "I could not eat and my rest at night was disturbed. I was troubled with the effects of gas pains, and I hardly had a comfortable day. I was nervous and worried. All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison. "One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years. "Black-Draught is a splendid remedy for constipation." Thousands of others say the same. Try it. 25 cents a package.

Consider the mother, who, through days and nights, protects and nurtures her child blindly, saying in her face, "though you torture me, you can only last so long, for that, mine."

The desire to possess is embodied in the creation of each of us, but the Gliver never placed it there in the sense of absoluteness. This belief, you and I, through the years, acquire. So great is our acquisition that its association is part of the thing owned. We refuse to allow the amount of joint ownership to gather into our plans. Hence, we may more clearly realize the fundamental principle underlying grief at death.
You and I have seen men who are said to be possessed by the devil. Their very actions hear out this—their every dealings with their family or the world, apparently, corroborate this statement.

Comparative Morality
44 THE Negro is immoral; more
THE Negro is immoral; worse than that, he is brutal; he is dominated by his lower, bestial nature, and he must be kept under subjection or he will contaminate and ruin the white man." All of this is asserted by the American white man, especially, but the facts contradict it, and show that by comparison the Negro is by no means inferior to the white man.
A returned African missionary was addressing the ministers of Ottawa, Kan., and when he gave permission to have questions asked of him, a white minister asked: "How about the morality of the natives?"
Doubtless, the missionary was embarrassed by the presence of two Negro ministers, for he reported to evasion by saying: "Well, they have a different standard of morals."
"But," insisted his questioner, "how do they compare, considering the difference in standards?" To this the missionary answered: "According to their standard and their opportunities the natives are far more moral than the white people of this country." The late Bishop L. J. Coppin used to tell of a young native white woman, who was carried thousands of miles through the interior by native black men, and that this young woman became
fortunes fall, degree by degree.
This man has grounds on which to base his proud claim that she is his. Facts and actions he points to in substitution of his contention. But is there adequate progression of her? Let a see.
No man possesses any woman absolutely. This condition can not be unless her possessor her power to think. If he can not her thought, he is, but a tangent possessor. What know he of the secret archives of her heart during the days or years of adversity?
This fallacy of possession is a moving urge in life. Were you and I deprived of its power, we would cease when the cards seemed attacked against us. We'd reason: "Well, since one cannot own absolutely, why sacrifice now?" But neither you nor I say that. Actuated by the belief of owning, as it were, we push on. Maybe we achieve fortune and fame, or it may be just plain contentment (which often brings more happiness than fame or fortune).
From Him who only can give, to Him we must return. Of Him alone can it be rightly said that there is one who possesses absolutely.
indignant when asked: "Were you not afraid?" She answered: "Afraid of what? Why these natives would have given their lives rather than harm should come to me." The Jews were in bondage in Egypt for more than 400 years and there was not one accusation of conduct unbecoming on the part of an Egyptian toward one of the slave women. Now, compare this with the record of white masters and white slave drivers during the bondage of Negroes in this country. And since emancipation, white men by means of brushes and every other possible means, have desig
But not only do white men destroy Negro women, but they do not spare their own. Houses of shame are conducted in every city and thousands of women, white women, are offered there on the altar of the lust of the white man of this country. A few years ago a white man of Martins Ferry, O. was convicted of incest on the testimony of his own daughter, with whom he had carnal relations through a period of several years. Just last year there was sent to the Tennessee State prison a white man who had cohabitated with three of his own daughters, one of them being under twelve years of age.
But morality means more than chastity. It includes and involves honor, honesty, fairness, justice, equity, and righteousness in dealing with all human problems, and in all of these the white man is so welfly lacking Yet, living thus in his glass house, he does not hesitate to throw stones at us. But a comparison of conduct, enlightenment and opportunity will demonstrate that the Negro is by no means inferior to the white man—HE DOES NOT SUFFER BY THE COMPARISON!

The "Little Sister" of Paris
Brussels in Belgium. However, Is Not as Gay
THIS cate often called Little Paris by its admirable, while others say it is a sister of Paris. Step sister, perhaps, because it is difficult to find other than a superficial resemblance. French, of course, is the principal language and the menus are written in French. But first and foremost, what does one find is not an欲 of drinking wine the Belgians are drinking beer. In the cates on the Boulevard Adolphe May everyone has a glass of blond beer before him. And some of these glasses, or rather containers of beer, on some of the back streets, are big enough in which to wash your face. You have seen the glass top used in restaurants to cover cakes and pies—well, these glasses are the shape and about the size of that. Verily, the human stomach has unthinkable possibilities!
Don't the Belgians drink liquor in their cafes? Well, perhaps they would like to, but a semidry law came in with the war and was said to be found so beneficial that it was never repealed. Plenty of liquor is to be found for sale in the stores, but one needs his passport, or card of identity to get it. I was told. However, the manufacturers got even by making a beer so strong that, if you are not an expert, a few glasses of it will put you under the table. I was also told that quite a little bootlegging goes on in the cafes, in spite of the heavy fine.
Another lack of resemblance between Paris and Brussels is that magnet which draws so many Anglo-Saxons to Paris is lacking, namely: the brilliant night life. Brussels is has a great reputation for galeacy, and it was gay, but that was before the coming of the Germans, with their rapine and demand for an immediate two and a half billion dollars from the little kingdom.
Again another distinctive feature of Paris is lacking, namely: the peculiar rounded roofs and balconies and the wooded streets. Brussels has its spots of extreme beauty, as I shall endeavor to show later, while in Paris everywhere seems to be beautiful.
And so I could go on, but some of the other differences will appear in the course of my writing.
pear in the course of my writing. From Paris to Brussels is but a distance of four hours' ride on the express. One passes over scenes reminiscent of the late war—only reminiscent, for what was once a devastated area now is a rich agricultural area, with beet fields, apple and pear orchards, wheat fields, farmhouses, peaceful villages and busy towns. St. Quentin and Mons, which saw much of the worst fighting, look almost brand new with their spick-and-span railroad stations and new buildings going up. The battlefields of Belgium are disappearing under the hands of

THE foremost philosophical thinker and analytical writer of the Negro race in America, a philosopher of superb grandeur and a writer of miscellaneous subjects of power and deep mysticism, is Kelly Miller. Mr. Miller was born in Winsboro, S. C., 1863. He received his education at Howard and John Hopkins universities and is now dean at Howard University.
Kelly Miller contains (and is perhaps the only modern Negro who contains) the whole of a living language. Encyclopaedia in his range, his power of assimilation is supreme among the canonized writers of black America in his absolute command over the resources of his tongue, which he in many respects rejuvenated and reconciled with its past. He is among the greatest (if not the greatest) rhetoricians who ever lived, unapproached in the art of amplifying, in the sense of climax, and also a master of composition. When he chooses he can be measured and graceful; he is always verbally perceptuous and logical. That presence of mind or instinct of verbal association which is per-

what hard-boiled. I knew that there had not been a single one of the Allied Powers that had not invaded Belgium in the past and not one that was not ready in the future to do so, should "military necessity" dictate it.
Belgium has been rightly called the cockpit of Europe. It is the cyclone center. Perhaps someone skilled at the same time in military strategy and economics will explain just why this should be so. In recorded history it began with Julius Caesar, who, if I remember rightly, described the Helgae, or was it the Nervil, a Belgian tribe, as being the most stubborn fighters he had ever encountered. After Caesar came the Gauls, and later in the thirteenth century the English besieged and captured Brussels. Then came the Austrians, Dutch, Spaniards, and under the latter the Belgians suffered in a far worse manner than under the Germans. There was that monster, the Duke of Alva, a Nero and Caligula incarnate, who at one time took several thousands of the defenders of one city, tied them back to back and threw them into the sea.
Again, in the 1690s the French invaded Belgium and set Brussels on fire. Following the French came the Bavarians, now known as Germans, while it was on Belgian fields that the famous English general, the Duke of Marlborough, won his great battles of Blenheim, Oudenarde, Ramillies, and Malplaquet against the French.
Still later, in 1792, France, in order to strike at Austria, invaded Belgium and held it for nearly twenty years. Here also, not far from Brussels, is the famous battlefield of Waterloo, on which Belgians, British and Germans joined in fighting the French under Napoleon. In 1830 the Belgians fought Holland and finally won their independence, which was guaranteed by the then leading Powers, among them Prussia. Finally Prussia,

Words have a mysterious power over him; he is sometimes visibly the bondman of irresistible suggestions in sound, and the prestige of certain syllables often betrays him into digressive apostrophs and irrelevant illustration.

His lines have a beauty that comes from somewhere ethereal or from something more animate than from a lexicographer's lair. Power, beauty, style, language—all combine harmoniously.

Bolkhun also is a land of art of beautiful old cities, innestent cathedrals, fine hotels, a ville, or town halls, beautiful palaces, splendid squares, oval canals, and art museums. In the home of Ridens, Van De Jongh, Ten Eyck, Eek, Moerker Bink, Nertham, Bussel, and I said, has its spots of great beauty. There is the beautiful bois de Camille in cities, with its artificial lake, later than anything of its kind have seen, the Grand Place, one of the most pictures of Europe, bordered with buildings of superb Gothic architecture, among them being the Dual palace and the homes of the Gildas, forerunners of our trade unions, the Royal Theatre; the King's Palace; the Houses of Parliament; the Column of Congress, at the base of which is the total, of the Unknown Soldier; the Arch of Triumph, one of the finest things of its kind in all Europe; the Museum of the Cluniquenauire, calff years of Belgium independence (third of which, by the way, were made by King Leopold with money wrong from the Congo); the Palace of Justice; the Church of St. Gadule, and so many more.
I cannot recall ever seeing anywhere else a building of greater size, strength and majesty than this Palace of Justice. Standing on the summit of the hill, it resembles some Cyclopean mountain of rock carved into the shape of a building. It is the show-place of Brussels. It was easy to tell that. One can always tell the show-places by the number of guides and post-card sellers standing outside. In this case I counted nineteen of the latter, mostly women, rather seedily dressed.
The preceding evening, rather late, while standing on this hill, contemplating the city with its nondescript roots, tall industrial chimneys, numerous church spires, and hall of smoke, a boy approached me and, without further aid, addressed me in excellent English, offering me postcards. This set me to thinking: How did he know I spoke English? Here I was dressed in French hat, shoes, suit—in short, the only thing American made I had on was one upper garment. Did this youngster have an X-ray cye to perceive that, for I had not said a single word? The next morning, while walking on the principal business street, I was addressed again in English by the convassers for a tourist agency. "How do you know I can speak English?" I now demanded.
"Why," said he, "I can see it in your face."
"But," I retorted, "you're mistaken, I'm from Java." "Oh," he laughed, you're Ameri-
ously in his compositions. His logic is of grandeur; it charms by its sublimity. He is an artist of high rank in the world of literature. He is also a unique and significant artist that is essential in the world and movements of the Negro race.
To understand him one must first know him; must live with him in the atmosphere of his writings. Robust in action, farling in his subjects, vast and brilliant and mysterious. He amuses, he baffles, he mystifies—at once romantic and realistic in objective setting, while sombre and broodingly intense in internal, ultimate, subjective word.
Dean Miller has the distinction as a writer. Whatever comes from his pen is always fresh, well done and simple. He is selective in his choice of words and maintains one characteristic mood in all his compositions which may be called a luminous sincerity. Although not a voluminous writer in the strictest sense of the word, yet what is his has already established his reputation as a remarkable writer. He writes with little haste and publishes with less.
Those who have read his books must have surely found food for thought and ideas by which they might broaden. The proudest logical coherence of thought is his. And the most passionate flights are all born of his sociological environment. Here is one fearless writer who says what he believes is true, regardless of the hurts it may bring. Age and experience and sympathy for all is the storehouse which

can. I list the three most important things in what I have to say to the man. The two persons, who are in the affront of him, have an unfailable method of telling just what country they come from. No matter into what country I go, the person always forward to offer me not a foreign newspaper, but the New York Times, rarely ever the Dell. Mid the latter the person must be English touring.
As for one here in Europe, I can almost invariably tell a French person from an American one, and the same is true for the Italian. After in the moment I can tell him how I came to their free, their ex-
The tourist asked, as I said, to me that he could tell I was American by my face. I immediately I stood to myself. My friend of you were in America and said that, the Khan would crush the Iranian for it. Do you know what you have said? Why, you have said that, in spite of what the United States, Madison Grant, Stolodars, Dengals, Davies, and others have written about Iran, and in spite of the cries of Race, Race has Negro leaders, that those are an expression about me that stamps me as belonging to the super class as those Norvettes, no matter how much we may naturally detest the thrush.
"Why, we're actually saying that peoples who live in any given environment get to thinking in similar grooves, which, in turn, is indelibly stamped on their faces, giving them a similarity of expression, regardless of color.
"No, my friend," I mused, "this will never do. Here you are trying to throw a monkey wrench into this carefully built-up machinery of Nordic superiority as built on face and features. Further, you're imperilling the race program of Negro leaders. You're trying to create disorder. Lucky for you you aren't on the other side of the Atlantic."
Another noted sight in Brussels, as I said, is the Church of St. Gudule. Its stained-glass windows are perhaps the most famous in Europe, as also is its curved pulpit. After seeing the Church of St. Gudule and remembering the fate of Rheims and other cathedrals, one can easily understand why the Belgians surrendered Brussels so quietly.
But none of the above-mentioned monuments receives the attention that the older little statue of a boy on a street corner does. This statue is known as the Mansuikin. The little boy is doing a thing quite natural, but specific mention of it will be too shocking for me to repeat in print for Anglo-Saxon eyes. Nevertheless, the people of Brussels are proud of the Mansuikin, and on holidays dress him in uniforms and flowers. He has nine uniforms and that many pairs of gloves, all of which are kept in the Maison du Roi, or king's Palace. And this is no joke.
In my next article I shall tell of some more of the sights such as the spot where Edith Cavell was shot; of the life of the people, as well as the peculiar "wave" problem which exists in Belgium.

Kelly Miller can be ironical, too. And when he assumes that role he sears with the lava of his rhetoric. I wish you could know the man as he is. To write of Miller in all his grandeurs is at present impossible. He is a man of psychological depths, whose motives and life and works cannot be fully discussed in this little space. He is not a man simply to adduce, nor to marvel at, nor to laud with honest appreciation, but a man with whom the reader feels heart to heart, with whom he sees eye to eye; with whom he ponders the poguntar, elusive, momentarily significant spectacle of life, mind to mind. He is a man to be studied.
He is the author of "Out of the House of Bondage," "Race Adjustment" and several other incomparable books of merit.

It is the duty of the waitress, whether she be a servant or a member of the family, to organize her work so that suitable dishes and silver for each course are in readiness. It is desirable to have the silver and clink for each course separated so that it can be easily and quietly selected. The serving table, ten-wagons or bafflers, must be not for this purpose. Hot dishes should be served in hot dishes. In order not to chill toes, which should be hot, the coaster plate should be warm. Ceramic tools such as toast, bake ovens and biscuits may be covered with a gasket to keep them hot. Food should be arranged in dishes of appropriate size and shape. The amount of food should be regulated by the size of the dish which contains it.

Dear Egyptsy Ann:
I am a plain looking girl, not attractive in the least as far as looks are concerned. People like my company and I believe I've succeeded in cultivating an attractive personality. I have a good education and am a dressmaker. I earn $25 a week.
My trouble is this: The young man I've been going with for three years has become interested in a very good looking girl—and I know she means him no good. She's just going with him for what she can get out of him and he hasn't got sense enough to realize it. She's stringing four or five other men along and I hate to see my friend make such a sap out of himself.
He still takes me out, but I certainly don't like this sharing business. Please tell me what to do. I've enjoyed your columns very much and wish you luck.

Dear T. M:
I wouldn't appear in the least concerned, even though my heart were breaking. I'd praise that rival so much that he'd begin to wonder if she was so much after all.
Don't bolittle her. If you do, he'll side her with all the preverseness of a man. In the meantime, you might step out a little yourself. Why not give him a surprise and show him that you can enjoy another's company too? Beauty is a great asset, but thank heavens it doesn't mean everything. Your rival will probable live up to her reputation and when she gives your erstwhile the shelf, hell come sneaking back to you quickly enough. It'll be up to you then whether

land and in the kitchen, place the left thigh on the left hand. When a plate is to be served, and another placed immediately, it to contemplate to remove from the right and place from the left of the guest. 1. Food which should be passed by the waitress should always be offered at the left, and this permits the guest to be right hand in helping himself. The waitress should see that adequate silver is placed on the dish, in a convenient position. She should hold the dish near enough and low enough to the guest's plate for the guest's convenience. A napkin folded in a square should be placed on the palm of the left hand, under the dish containing the food. This is called the service napkin and should be used only under dishes containing food to be served. It is not used in removing or placing plates or in removing other dishes.
A serving tray may be used for passing and removing two or more articles, such as the cream pitcher and the sugar bowl or extra pieces of silver. To keep those articles from slipping, a doily should be placed on the tray. Passing should be done from the left. Glasses should not be lifted from the table in refilling. When clearing the table for dessert, all salts, peppers, bread and butter plates and relish dishes should be removed. Usually nothing remains on the table but the center decoration and glasses or side dishes, which may be used for the dessert course, or in informal serving, the dessert silver. The table should then be crumbed, using a small folded napkin and a plate-working on the left side of the guest.

My Dear Egypt: Ann:
I am a young man 22 years old and have been keeping company with a girl who is now 19 years old and attends college.
Thes young lady in question thinks I am slow because I do not make love to her. My reason for not doing so is because I know her parents are counting on her to finish her course.
Since I am financially able to marry her if she would have me, I am keeping quiet and I will waiting to wait until she has finished school. During the length of time I have known her, we have had enjoyable times together.
Egypsy Ann. I wonder if I will lose out. But I am hoping for the best. Hoping I will get an answer to this letter through your column and thanking you for doing so. I am.
Dear Anxious:
You are right to not wishing to interfere with her studies and I admire your self-control. I cannot tell you how the young lady regards you, as I am not a fortune teller. You'll have to find that out for yourself. Why not ask her if she thinks seriously of you, explain your reason for acting "slow" as you call it. The chances are that she doesn't realize how you feel toward her. Women don't mind being told that they are objects of affection, you know. Tell her what you've told me and I'm sure she'll understand the matter better.
Sincerely,
EGYPSY ANN.

Men Held on Serious Charge
Wealthy Coal Dealer Taken to Hospital After Street Brawl
Attempting to disperse a group of white and colored children gathered last Tuesday night about the door of Brooklyn Lodge of Elks No. 22, at 155 South Oxford street, James P. Dunn, 37, of 171 Sterling street, wealthy coal dealer and an Elk, was stabbed and seriously wounded. He is in Cumberland Hospital. Boxing bouts were in progress in the clubhouse and the children were peering at arriving fighters. Dunn, according to the story cleaned by the police, was attempting to drive the children from in front of the building when John Morris, 26, of 203 Lexington avenue, is alleged to have accosted him and demanded to know why he didn't stop annoying the children. "Who are you?" Dunn is alleged to have demanded. "Why, I'm fighting here tonight," Morris says he replied.
"You fight!" Dunn is supposed to have answered; "why, I can grip you with one hand."
The light was on and after several minutes of equal struggling Dunn says someone stabbed him in the back, the knife penetrating his lung. Patrolman James S. Brown, who was eating his dinner in the Elks' Clubhouse, heard rises and run out to arrest four men including Morris and Edmund Walker, 19, also of 203 Lexington avenue, who is said to have had the knife.
Dunn was rushed to the Cumberland Street Hospital, where his condition was said to be serious. He identified Walker as his assailant, police said. Others arrested by Cumberland were Thomas Bugh, 20, Lockington avenue, Brooklyn and James Atkinson, 19, of Lexington avenue.
He were held on a charge of assault.

Towns claimed that he went to a party Sunday night, Oct. 2 which was held at 2758 Thirty-six stract, and during the time when the party was merriest and much refreshments had been served, the man and woman jostled. Towns discovered that he was minus $80. This discovery was made when he wanted to pay for some refreshments that had been ordered. He alleges that the money was taken from his trousers. He accused Mr. and Mrs. Harris of stealing the money.

The Last Supper On Exhibition
The Last Supper On Exhibition
Remarkable Lifelike Reproduction of Christ and His Disciples
A remarkable lifelike reproduction of "The Lord Supper" is being shown in the life of Christ exhibit, which opened at the Church of Our Lady of Angels. Fourth avenue, at Seventy-fourth street, this thorough Tuesday evening. The exhibit, which is said to be the only one of its kind in the world, was brought to this country from Europe. This is the first time it has ever been shown anywhere near New York. It will next be shown in Montreal and after that in South America.
Working in wax, the German artist, Stephans, spent forty years of his life perfecting this version of "The Last Supper." It is a lifesize reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting.
The faces of the figures are executed with delicacy; the illusion being startlingly real when the diners start to eat, their heads swaying back and forth and their lips opening as though in conversation. The expression of Judas is particularly good, every gesture being a subtle indication of his nature.
Another remarkable feature of the exhibit is "The Shadow of the Cross," a painting of Christ by an unknown artist. The famous gold pin, upon which is engraved the Lord's Prayer, and which was displayed at the World's Fair in Chicago, also is to be found in the collection.
Perhaps the oddest feature is the snapshot which was taken by an ordinary camera on Christmas Day some years ago. It depicts a woodland scene. In one corner of the picture the beautiful face of Christ is plainly apparent peering through the tree tops. Among the other interesting exhibits are the story of the Bible in small colored pictures, a number of coins used at the time of Christ, a picture of Christ bearing the cross, executed entirely in needlework, and a carload of sacred works of art.
Bridge St. Church Relief Society Hear Sermon
"We must think and act along lines that have to do with self-development and think in terms of the future," said Dr. Edward B. Tyler, pastor of Bridge street A. M. P. Church, during the course of his sermon to the Bridge Street Church Relief Society, Sunday evening, October 9. He also stressed the point that fraternal and benefit societies should not only take care of the sick and bury the dead, but should seek to build up the race along material, moral, intellectual and other lines. The organization, through its assistant secretary, Mrs. Bossie B. Robinson, presented the trustees with $100. The services were attended by over 800 members and friends.
The officers of the society are: Henry S. Robinson Sr., president; Lemuel Henson, vice-president; Mrs. Katherine E. Fassett, financial secretary; Mrs. Anna Calloway, assistant financial secretary; Mrs. Parthenia Delaney, recording secretary; Mrs. Bessie D. Robinson, assistant recording secretary; Henry C. Wadkins, treasurer; Rodger Harklass, chaplain, and John L. Taylor, sergeant-at-arms. Tomorrow night, Thursday, Oct. 13, the annual election of officers will take place in the church house. From all indications the present incumbent, Henry S. Robinson, and his entire staff will be re-elected.

Miss Margaret M Bergen, white
collector of the South Assembly
District, and who has the distin-
cion of being the only woman can-
dicate for Adderman in Brooklyn,
delivered a strong address in
within her land of the ability, char-
acter and experience of the party
within her. She was introduced
by the secret George Bils-
bergh, member of her dis-
trict. Miss Bergen, these white people
hop for the New
collector, but she who a ted and
friendship.
The meeting was called to order for the first rewarmer. After the opening proceedings, Mrs. Fayerweather, who is also co-leader of the Ethnicity Assembly District, spoke briefly of her attendance as a delegate to the recent Republican Convention at Rochester, N.Y. She was the only co-leaved person there representing Brooklyn. She spoke of the cordial reception that she received from County Leader Jacob A. Lvingston, her district leader, Warren Price, and others. She praised Col. Rosevelt's speech and took occasion to denounce Negro Democrats who "sell themselves for a job."
Mrs. Favorweather stated that she would have considered it a disgrace if she had left Rochester without visiting the last resting place of the late Fred Doughlass, which she said, should be a shrine to all race-loving Negroes. She placed a wreath on his tomb in the name of the Kings County Colored Republican Organization. Mrs. Favorweather closed her remarks with a plea that our people not only take an interest in voting, but become interested in the machinery of the party and study and learn its form or government. President Frank Gilbert, who was detained, took the gavel upon the conclusion of the vice-chairman's talk. He also urged a large registration. A number of other leaders and members spoke, among them Alfred D. Peyton, former president of the Society of the Sons of North Carolina, a member of the Urban League and other civic and social organizations
Mr. Peyton, who a number of years ago was an Alderman in his home to turn in North Carolina, was prominently considered by a number of republicans of the Seventh Assembly District for the nomination for Alderman in that Aldermanic district, but sufficient impetus was not given the movement for him to secure it this year. Mr. Peyton emphasized the point that the Negro man and woman should take a greater interest in politics, "not for what they can get out of it, but for the reason that they are citizens and, by so doing, they can aid in selecting the men who shall govern them and who shall make their laws."
He vigorously denounced all Negro Democrats in New York who are allied with Tammany Hall and the Brooklyn Democracy. He stated that, while they were feeding, or hoped to feed, at the public crib in return for their support, they were indirectly hurting their brother in the South. For, in making the Democrats stronger in the North, he polite, out, they were making them stronger in the nation; and when they have charge of the nation their economic policy will cause harm and their social policy will degrade the Negro, as no Democrat really loves a Negro. Following the close of the meeting a social hour was spent. A committee of ladies, headed by Mrs. Fayerweather, served refreshments.
It was announced that weekly meetings will be held until after the election.

Fatal Stabbirg On Keap Street
Police Reserves Called to Disperse Crowd Drawn by Incident
Declaring that she was tired of having her husband get jobs and then force her to do the work, Margaret Hunt, 28, of 31 McKibbin street, early last Wednesday admitted to police that she had stabbed William Jackson, 51, to death.
Jackson, with whom the woman admitted she had lived on McKibbin street for the last year, was found dead in a pool of blood at Grand and Keop streets early Wednesday morning. Fleeing from him, a wicked and blood-dripping butcher knife in her hand, was Margaret
Detective Lynch and Patrolman Merkle took the woman into custody. He struck her, she said, when she told him that she would no longer do the work when he obtained jobs as a junior in apartment buildings. She said she had been doing his work for a year while he sat about and gave orders.
Jackson's throat was slashed from ear to ear and the knife had been plunged four times into his heart.
According to the story the woman told Assistant District Attorney Goldstein, she had gone to the movies with Jackson and then went to visit friends at 183 Willoughby street. She left the party about 3 a.m., she said, and went home to bed.
At 5 o'clock Jackson came in, roused her, and told her she had to go down to 425 Keap street, where he was employed as a janitor, and do some work for him. He said he would heat her if she didn't, she told Goldstein, so she went with him.
In the basement of the Keap street house, she said, Jackson struck her with a club. She picked up the butcher knife in defense and he chased her outside. He slipped on the pavement, she said, and then she stabbed him.
Margaret fled, but was captured by Petrolmen Merkle and Brynes. Crowds going to work witnessed the murder. It was necessary to call reserves from the Bedford Avenue Station.

To take this away from America's suffering black millions means an oblivion of dependency. Out of the law, the Constitution, the Man, and the Creator of all.
Cotton Picking Machine
A COTTON-PICKING machine is said to have made its appearance in Texas and Arkansas, from where it will find its way to Wisconsin and displace the Negro land labor which, for so many years, has picked cotton for nigherly cotton operators. It has so little labor while building up wealth for themselves.
Arthur Brishane, famous editor-list for William Randolph hears, gleefully commenting upon the mechanical cotton-picker, says that it will enable "American cotton growers compete with cheap labor in Europe, the Sudan, india and elsewhere."
What a grusome event to ghost oor! What an inconsidate wish for advanced civilization to have!
In different phrasiology Mr. Bidickian wants to tighten the economic vises which already have the necks of foreign cotton labor in their sickening grasp. Along with this advent, of course, would come the displacement of the thousands of Negro cotton hands in this country, who are already living from hand to mouth and amid an atmosphere of oppression.
Every intelligent American welcome the introduction of machine labor, to ease the life of the American worker, with more before time, shorter working hours, and increased wages, because of increased productivity, no one with any heart at all will see such a revolution without a common which will take care of the WORKLESS men and women displaced by the machine, and who, while producing nothing, have to EAT, SLEEP and LIVE—a menace to society and innocent parasites upon our resources.
Especially does no one desire to see the way made harder for the workers of Egypt, India and the Sudan. Such a wish as Editor Brisbane has made first demands an invention of HUMANENESS which will offset the invention of machinery. We would like to have Mr. Brisbane suggest such a countering remedy; and then he might justly advocate ethical competition in the cotton market, and in the newspaper and editorial market, as well.
Take Heart. Indiana!
It appears that the Gary, Ind. City Council has succumbed to the Jim-Grow doctrine by passing an ordinance providing for the erection of a separate high school building for Negro students, and that, hence, the latter will be barred from attending the Emerson building, whose white student body has recently been on a strike, in an effort to improve education. Education throw Liberty justices and Equality on the scrap heap of Prejudice. Thus Freedom and Brotherly Love are crucified, while "white supremacy," the
count of diligence, discipline and
entitlement and autonomy.
"engineering and office of states,
military also will follow that
they are for all good purpose,
and that there will be an time to
save a little int' of human an-
erobic and not an disengaged
in that they can learn hard, yet
in the worldly affair of life,
by commemorating that there
is recorded in the Christian tower
of sacred earth, under the angel
of burden, there is commemor-
ing, the following public
addition of dedication ordi-
nance and calling was made
by the church of Christ in
which all of them are affiliated,
all passed a wageningham
nature similar in the age and
passed in time, seeming to con-
sume youthful students, and thus
at their early age, and advancing
to would into their higher ideas
of "superiority" and in-
spiritility."
Lufson Chumnerlin said:
"This case is not and cannot be construed to the doctrine of police regulation. It is not a personal relationship; and it is if one involving public health or safety. The purpose of the enactment of the ordinance in question may be fairly said to be to prevent strife between the races. And that was one of the contentions rated in a case before the Supreme Court that it was sought to ratify, by which the police regulation defense. But in answer the Supreme Court said it is urged that this proposed regulation will promote the public peace by preventing race conflicts. Desirable as this is and important as is the preservation of the public peace, this aim cannot be accomplished by laws or ordinances which deny rights created or protected by the Federal Constitution."
Take heart. Indiana!
Negro History Body to Teach by Mail
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10.—The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History began extension courses in Negro life and history and correlated subjects under its home study department on Oct. 1. The courses are designed for those interested in general education and to meet special needs. Dr. Carter G. Woodson is the director of the association. Instruction will be by mail. The work offered will include courses in African Art and Culture, African Literature, the Negro in Indian History, Negro Economic History, General and African Anthropology, Negro Church History, the Problem of Races, Social Psychology, and English Composition.
The teaching staff will be composed of Carter G. Woodson, instructor in history and anthropology; Charles H. Wester, instructor in economics and history; Alain Leroy Locke, instructor in art and Literature; E. Franklin Fraxler, instructor in sociology; David A. Lane, instructor in English and Literature; Luther P. Jackson, instructor in the history of education; Miles Mark Fisher, instructor in ecclesiastical history; James Hugo Johnson, instructor in social history, and Charles S. Johnson, instructor in sociology.
'Making Good Farmers Helps Racial Situation'
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Making good farmers overcomes many of the problems of racial adjustments in the South, believes Dr. E. H. Shinn, tee government's chief specialist in agricultural education. The expenditure for Negro education last year totalled $3,700,000.
Federal farm extension work, the Smith-Hughes vocational schools, and Negro agricultural colleges, in each of the Southern States, are interrelated in teaching better farm practices and helping Negroes to increase their earning power and to improve their homes and living conditions.
"There is no doubt," Dr. Shinn says, "that the extension work conducted by efficient Negro agents has had considerable influence in checking the movement of Negro farmers to the cities."
Government statistics show that more than 217,000 Negroes own their own farms, and that more than 700,000 are farm tenants.

Household Hints
After using a scrubbing brush, rinse it well and turn it on its side to dry. The brush will wear better if the bristles are not always wet. If the brush is not wet, get sadden with water they will not bond so much when in use.

Illegitimate Children
Assisted in Italy
Assistance is provided by the Italian Government to illegitimate children who have been abandoned or who are in danger of being abandoned, in accordance with a royal decree issued on May 5, 1927. An allowance may be paid to the mother, or the child may be put in an institution where he is nursed by his own mother, if possible, or placed out with a nurse or a foster mother. The assistance is given only if the child is under six years of age at the time of application, and continues until the child is of legal age for employment. Provision is made for periodical examinations by qualified physicians of the children to whom this decree applies and of their nurses, and for medical treatment of all children.
The funds necessary for carrying out this decree will be supplied partly from the national treasury and partly by the provinces and municipalities. The National Bureau of Maternity and Infant Welfare will have general supervision over the administration of the law.

SAGE TEA DANDY
TO DARKEN HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Being Back Color and
Lustre to Hair
You can turn gray, faded hair beautifully dark and haircuts at most over night if you want to get a bit of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any drug store. It costs only 10 cents. Millions of bottles of this old famous Sage Tea Reefle, improved by the addition of other ingredients, are not usually, anyway, dugged here, but it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming faded have never awfully applied the after one application the gray hair unplugs, and your locks become luxuriously dark and beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray haired, unattractive, folks aren't going to get away with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound tonight and you'll be delighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youthful appearance within a few days.

THIS IS REGISTRATION WEEK. If you intend to vote in November you must enroll your name on the books at your polling place on or before October 15. Any eligible voter who fails to do this robs himself of the right to vote in November. That right is too valuable to lose; thousands of men have died that you might have it.
POLITICS has been so much belittled by wits and humorists that its real importance is often forgotten. Some people are too refined to go to the polls and vote, yet they have the nerve to complain of the way they are governed. Every way you turn you are confronted with and controlled by politics. Your job, your cost of living, the safety of yourself and your family, the sanitary conditions of your home and your neighborhood, your personal and public rights,
EDITORIAL PAGE
the education and future of your children all these depend on the man who represent you in the government. Your vote is your only means of selecting those men. REGISTRATION in Harlem has always been far below what it should have been. Recently it was estimated at 22,000. This is a poor showing for a population of 250, 000; it looks as if the citizens of Harlem were too lazy to use their most effective weapon. In Harlem there should be at least 70, 000 registered voters.
A SPECIAL IMPETUS to registration in Harlem should be given by the presence of five Negro candidates. On the regular Democratic ticket George E. Hall is running for the Assembly and Henri W. Shields for re-election to the Board of Aldermen. In the Nineteenth Assembly District Fred R. Moore is the Republican candidate for Alderman and John Clifford Hawkins is the Republican nominee for Alderman in the Twenty-first Assembly District. In Brooklyn Rufus L. Perry is the Socialist candidate for judge of the City Court.
THUS the Negro voters have a better chance than ever before to put Negro men in office. If every New York Negro who complains about the disfranchisement of his race in the South turns out to vote for these men the majority of them will be elected. But, remember, you cannot vote for them unless you register, and you must register on or before October 15.
Needless Advice
THE ATLANTA Independent calls on the Democrats of the South to assert themselves more in the councils of the national Democratic party. The Independent says that because of the Democratic custom of choosing presidential candidates from the North and West the South is as much disfranchised in finality as the Negro Republicans of the ballot.
WITH ALL respect to the Independent, one is reminded of King Lear, who went out one stormy night and commanded the wind to blow when it was already blowing a hurricane. Anyone who has followed the history of the Democratic party will wonder how the South could possibly have asserted itself more. In the last sixty years Tilden, Cleveland and Bryan have been the only real national Democratic leaders who did not come out of the South. From Jefferson on down, through Jackson, Hayne, Calhoun, Polk, Douglas, Wilson, the South has dominated the candidates and the policy of the national Democratic party.
UNDER JACKSON the South did as it pleased with the banking system of the country. Under Hayne and Calhoun it defied the Government to the point of secession. Under Polk it dragged the whole nation into a war of aggression against Mexico to extend the slave power. Under Douglas it prepared to fight for slavery. Under Wilson it outdid the Republican high tariff; during the sugar shortage it arbitrarily shut out the cheaper Cuban sugar to protect the sugar planters of Louisiana. Under all its leaders, northern and southern, it has held the whip over
Mencken Mentions Us MERCURY EDITOR NEITHER LOVES NOR HATES THE NEGRO
York Globe. From that time till now I have followed his career with some degree of closeness, I remember reading his autobiography, which at that time indicated promise rather than performance. But there was no doubt that a new star had risen in the firmament. The last ten years have given us Moncken as he is. His indelible mark has
JOHN H. HARRIS
been stamped during the past decade. But the end of this humilary of uncomputed orbit is not yet in sight. He assounds us with his perennial freshness and never falling novelty. Like blind Cassandra, everybody feels that he tells the truth, but nobody is disposed to take him seriously. His sting, like the gadfly, smarts keenly, but stimulates.
Mr. Mencken seems to absorb half the wisdom of the world and guesses at the other half. There is no theme of current interest which he does not touch usually with critical and sometimes with technical discrimination. He is the bugaboo of the orthodox and the regular. He harls his scathing defiance at their hoary heads with the holdiness and bluntness of the Galician religious radical. "Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites."
The Century, Harpers and Scribners tremble at the mention of Mencken and the Mercury. Let Mencken alone to rise to his own heights or to sink to his own level by the gravity of his own genius, whether you deem that genius good or evil.
From the first of his literary career, Mr. Mencken has given much attention to the Negro question. He is not handicapped by any anthropic pretensions on the basis of race hatred. He neither loves nor hates the Negro. He has no propaaganda for or against him. He does not regard him as all good, as the Moody and Sankey brand of religionists were once wont to do, nor yet as all bad, according to the exploded school of Tillman and Vardaman. He does not

No Color Line
THE STURGES Multiple Batteries Corporation of Jamaica, Long Island, stands out in refreshing contrast to those business firms which draw the color line against competent workers. In the production of its famous batteries, a high skilled task, it employs quite a few Negroes. This will be encouraging news to our young people who are working hard to fit themselves for positions demanding skill. there were more men like Norman D. Sturges it would be better for both races.

Rhythm and the Negro
Perhaps few notions are more widely prevalent in America than that members of the Negro race
H. L. MENCKEN is the Bernard Shaw of American letters. No other American has shown such striking originality of thought or novelty of expression since Albert Hubbard went down on the Titanic. The American Mercury is of the same spirit and temper as the Philistine. One is reminded of the motto of Beefsteak John — "John keeps beefsteak and beefsteak keeps John." Mencken is the Mercury and the Mercury is Mencken. When Mencken dies the Mercury may well follow the example of the Philistine and go out of existence as a compliment of the uniqueness of the founder and finisher.
Mencenko was born in Baltimore, sampled in Germany, and educated by himself. Who could teach Benjamin Franklin, Henry Ford or Elbert Hubbard? All genius is original and eccentric; but all affected originality and conscious eccentricity is not genius. Nature evidently intended Mencenko for a genius, which he missed—if at all—by a narrow margin. He is hampered by his environment.
Can any good thing come out of Baltimore? This stalid old city is no man's land, speaking economically, politically and culturally. I recall the remark of Senator H. H. Ridlergerger of forgotten readjuster fame, that Baltimore is the national Jew shop of America, by which, I infer, he meant that it dealt in secondhand goods. This city has never had a dynamic thought or startling idea since it was founded by its homonymous English Lord. Its models, are received; its notions are standardized. The State of Maryland ranks about midway between the culture of Massachusetts and Mississippi. Its contribution to the galaxy of American genius compares with that of the hub of the universe in the ratio of one to a hundred. Eliminate Johns Hopkins University and would at once sink to the intellectual level of Birmingham, Ala., or Buffalo, N. Y. Baltimore is the fundamentalist of American cities.
If a genius happens to find himself born in Natchez, Miss., or Laramie, Wyo., he has but two resources; either, like Gray's putative Milton, to die mute and inglorious, or to get out from among them unto a land which his inner promptings will show him. So Mencken remains corporally in Baltimore, but lives spiritually in New York.
My first knowledge of Mr. Mencken was gained in 1917. My "Disgrace of Democracy" had just appeared in the Congressional Record and was attracting attention on two continents. Mr. Mencken gave this brochure a three column notice in the New

are better endowed with the instinct for melody and rhythm than is the case with the average white man. That this belief rests on an unsound and unscientific basis is apparently established by a series of tests conducted among students of both race.
These tests were devised by Dr. Carl E. Seashore, of the University of Iowa, who worked out standards of white students at three educational levels, fifth grade, eighth grade and college. Guy R. Johnson, for the last year and a half, has been applying the same tests to Negroes of the same grades, examining in all some 3,500 students in the graded schools and colleges of North Carolina and Virginia. An account of his researches was published in a recent issue of the Southern Workman, a journal of Hampton Institute.
The tests were for apperception in pitch, in intensity of sound, in time, in rhythm, in tonal memory and in consonance. Perhaps the most interesting discovery was in the matter of rhythm, on which Mr. Johnson reports:
"It may surprise some to learn that the Negroes whom I tested did not show a clear superiority over the whites in the sense of rhythm. The Negro fifth grade slightly excels the white fifth, but the differences are not great enough to be considered important. The Negro eighth grade is almost identical with the white eighth. The Negroes, however, show more very high scores and more low scores than the whites. The same is true for the Negro college students. They excel the whites in the scores from 85 to 100, but they also concentrate more than the whites on the scores from 65 downward."
Similar results, with but slight variations, were obtained in the other tests. The writer draws the conclusion that there are no significant differences in the basic sensory musical capacities of whites and Negroes. The tests do disclose a greater variation from individual to individual among the Negroes. Mr. Johnson is inclined to suspect that where two persons rank equally well in musical talents success or failure at music will be largely a matter of motivation; that is, the one to whom music holds all-important interest will develop into a first-rate musician, whereas the one interested more in other things will make but an indifferent musician.
The net result of these experiments will be to confirm a belief which has long been growing to the effect that, other things being equal, possession of unusual talents is likely to be an individual rather than a racial characteristic. Another result of almost equal importance is that the tests remind us of what we so often need to be reminded—that broad generalizations, even when widely held, are often extremely untrustworthy.

doms him salinity, which he is hot, nor as devilish, which in a large part he is, but as a blend ofaint and devil, in whom at timesand by turfs his angelico and hisatanic majesty assert away. He undertakes to describe theNegro; not to reform him. LikeShakespeare, he does not makethe original, but holds up themirror to nature. Nor does hewarn the subject to look pleasantwhile the picture is being taken. The frequency with whichMr. Mencken resorts to theNegrotheme, and the liberality of theMercury columns beyond thoseof the purely orthodox magazines, must be accounted forby some secret not yet explained. The inherent interest andartistic possibilities of the subjectmay help to enlighten us. Butthe Mercury and the Forumwould have no monopoly on thisscore.
The standardized publications demand that contributions on this dark subject must present the Negro as a simpleton, a buffoon or a mollycoddle. He must make the white man laugh, and by the same laugh he may quiet the qualms of a guilty conscience. But all that the Mercury requires of any contributor, on any theme, is that his treatment must not be hackneyed; it must not be orthodox, and it must not be dull.
I somewhat faintly recall seeing in the brochure autobiography of Mr. Mencken that he had a highly educated Negro as part valet and part amanuensis. This may be the cat in the bag, if he has not been cut by this time.
I have exhausted my space, but have hardly touched my theme—"Mencken and the Negro". Indeed, I find it so engaging that I will revert to it in another release, in which I shall take up Mr. Mencken's assignment of the Negro's place in literature and in life.
John M. Avery Listed as Carrying $131,500
In the Special Issue of the Spectator Magazine, entitled "Prominent Patrons of Life Insurance." there are 13,000 names of persons in every State in the country carrying over $50,000 of insurance. There are 194 persons named who carry more than $1,000,000 insurance, headed by Rodman Wanamaker, whose life is insured for $7,500,000.
A notable thing about the book is that only one Negro man is named in the book, that person being John M. Avery, vice-president and secretary of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Durham, N. C. Mr. Avery is credited with having $131,500 insurance on his life.
For several months past an accumulation of data on the amount of insurance carried in large amounts by Negroes has been made by Harry H. Face, president of the Northeastern Life Insurance Company.

THIS collection of Negro tales, sometimes only bits of conversation that Dr. Adams has doubtless overheard, sometimes poignant, terrible pictures of real life; sometimes bright travesties of heaven and hell, are the best sketches that have yet come out of the South, always excepting Joel Chandler Harris' "Folk Tales." They are better than Kennedy's "Black Cameos," even better than Gonzales' "Black Border," though that book's rare humor would show more clearly in a less difficult dialect. They furnish an extraordinary field for future students who seek to know something of the life and the thought of humble twentieth century black folk.
"The Hopkins Nigger," the sketch that bogins the book, is the story of a Negro's wonderful fight in heaven. Harper's Magazine last spring had a short story by a New Orleans man on the same theme. Evidently it is a folk tale. The second sketch is a tragic bit of real life. I give it in its entirety.

The story of the boy on the chain gang, whose father brings food to his faller, is the most terrible indictment of the chain gang I have yet read. Here is a father's advice to his son:
When she's right she'll die to save you.
'An when she's wrong she'll die to git you.
But the best thing in the volume is the generous, beautiful introduction by Paul Green. No Negro should fail to read his tribute to Negro men of promise today. To Robeson and Hayes, to Cullen and Locke and Brawley, to James Weldon and J. Rosamond Johnson, to Langston Hughes and Charles S. Johnson, and dozens of others. Especially deep and moving is his tribute to Burghardt Du Bofs. And of the Negro race he says: 'They are a magnificent people, and nothing can keep them down.'

Homely Philosophy
BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS
JOHNSON
Costly Frugality
TOO much frugality is often costly. We save a cent and lose a fortune—a friendship—a love—a life!
By thinking generously, the possibility is lessened of committing small, mean acts.
We carry no merchandise from this earth, save the riches thieie in the heart; it is bootless hoard.
If we must err in our attitude toward our fellow man, let it be on the side of a too great liberality rather than a too severe frugality.

Meditation
WHAT, oh what in all crea-
tion
(Quoth I rapt in meditation,)
Is the good of little me?
Not one bit that I can see
Just to long for things in vain,
Just to smile to case the pain.
Just to set alone and pine
For the things that are not
mine.
Why, oh why, did fate decree
That this lot belong to me?
Fain would I have been unborn
Than to live the life I scorn.
I hate to work while others
play,
I hate to do as others say.
I want to do the things I
please.
To live as they, who live in
ease.
Why cannot my dreams come
true.
As many others' often do?
Why must I work each live long day
For less than others throw away?
I'm tired of this futile life.
Naught but toll and care and strife
Hence why must I forever be Touched by the sting of poverty?
My heart alas was all but broken,
When to me those words were spoken—
Not from afar but quite so near,
Low distinct and very clear—
"Skeest thou for things that fude.
Things of which this world is made,
Treasures that will soon die by
Joy that passeth soon away?
Time perhaps will ease the pain,
Perhaps thou hast suffered in vain—
For the wealth this world can give,
For the life some others live,
Pame and fortune thou may not earn,
But dust thou art not to retain
To dust. Now can't the
Why wealth is much poverty?
