The detective division considers his "second best pinch" this year. Johnson had an automatic evolver, while Sylvester carried a 22 special, the detectives said. They were on patrol duty at 147th street near Eighth avenue, the detectives said, when they saw the two men acting suspiciously.

"Bring us a piece of ice to 16 West. 134th street," one of the men did. One entered the hallway and turned the gas light low, and then the Italian entered the light as turned out and both men drew their guns and took his money, the trio of detectives then did their stuff without a struggle.

Woman, Babe in Arms, Arraigned Charged With Hurling Milk Bottle at Delicatessen Mrs. Rachel Dorsett, 34, 931 Falle street, near Garrison avenue, stood before Magistrate Douras in Morrisonia Court Saturday with her baby in her arms, and listened to a charge against her of felonious assault for which she was held in $1,000 bail for a hearing by the Grand Jury. Seeing that the well-dressed and matronly looking woman might be sent to prison with her two-year-old child, several friends came forward and produced a bondsman. Mrs. Dorsett, was charged with hurling a milk bottle, upon the head of William Robbins, white, delicatessen dealer at 937 Falle street, who she said had kicked her 10-year-old son, Richard, whom she had sent to purchase 12 cents worth of sliced corned beef. Robbins told the boy the price had gone to 13 cents whereupon Robbins said, the boy called him a name. He said he pushed him from the store, but the child declared Robbins kicked him. Robbins testified that Mrs. Dorsett called a few minutes later and struck him on the skull with a bottle, inflicting a severe wound. Mrs. Dorsett, however, denied the bottle hurling and said that Robbins received his injury when another man in his store tried to drive her out by throwing a chain at her and the edge of the chain struck Robbins. Her son supported her in his testimony, which one of Robbins' witnesses disputed.

Dealer Looking Towards the Sky THE MASTER THE COLONIAL APARTMENTS, a regular skyscraper, located on Edgecombe avenue at 154th street, and said to be one of the finest apartment houses in all Harlem, is the latest addition to available housing for Negroes.. Fourteen-Story Fireproof Structure Largest on Heights, Opens for Negroes Harlem Real Estate Exchange Agents for Premises Comprises 500 Rooms in 118 Apartments, 142 Baths — Rents Lower The largest modern and absolutely fireproof apartment house for Negroes in the world was opened recently at 409 to 417 Edgecombe avenue, the Colonial Apartments, a 14-story steel and red brick structure, containing 500 rooms, comprising 118 apartments of two, three, four, five and six rooms each, the six-room apartments having three baths, a pantry and servants' quarters. The value of the property is $1,200,000. There is telephone switchboard service day and night. The owners of the structure were practically forced to bid for Negro tenancy when the white residents began moving out because Negroes completely surrounded the building. The Colonial Apartments were opened to Negroes Dec. 1. The white tenants are rapidly vacating the house, but some of them have asked permission to remain. It is said. Agents for the premises are the Harlem Real Estate Exchange, Inc., Lloyd R. Johnson, president, 2208 Seventh avenue, Estella Brown and Joseph Wilkerson, 167 West 146th street, are in charge of the renting office on the premises. Sidney Lequir, white, who has been superintendent of the Colonial since it was built ten years ago, remains in charge. Except for Mr. Lequir all the fifteen employees are Negroes, and their payroll is said to be $1,000 per month. Extra help will be added soon. It is said. High Rents Reduced According to Mr. Johnson, the to- Because he drove his wife and two children out into the storm in their nightclothes while he was drunk, Frank Millin, 29, 305 West 145th street, was sent to the Work house for ten days by Magistrate McKintry, before whom he was arrested in Heights Court last Wednesday. Mrs. Millin told the court her husband came home drunk on Sun day morning, Dec. 4, and after heat ing her, drove her and the child into the street. Patrolman Saffer of the West 135th street staffer found the mother and her brood shivering in the cold and sheet, and conducted them back to the house and arrested Millin. The officer told the magistrate that Millin, in his presence, threatened to kill his wife if she returned home. NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 1927 Drove Family, Unclad, From Home in Storm Because he drove his wife and two children out into the storm in their nightclothes while he was drunk, Frank Millin, 29, 305 West 145th street, was sent to the Workhouse for ten days by Magistrate McKinry, before whom he was arraigned in Heights Court last Wednesday. Mrs. Millin told the court her husband came home drunk on Sunday morning, Dec. 4, and after heating her, drove her and the children into the street. Patrolian Saffer of the West 135th street station found the mother and her brood shivering in the cold and sleet, and conducted them back to the house and arrested Millin. The officer told the magistrate that Millin, in his presence, threatened to kill his wife if she returned home. Edward Powell and a few drinks of liquor went big game hunting early last week for an alk head over the front entrance of the Orange City Home on Main street, Orange. As he took unsteady aim at his quarry his gun failed to pop, but the eyes of Traffic Policeman Martin Rogers did pop when he beheld this strange action. He recovered sufficiently enough to interfere. "I am on a hunting expedition," Powell told him. "Let me get that there animal." Rogers halted the "expedition" by arresting Powell, who was later arraigned in Orange Police Court before Judge Davis, who sent him to the county jail for three months. Powell was an employee of the home, which is conducted by Katherine Quinn and Richard Quinn, both white. He said he remembered taking Quinn's gun as he left the home to get a hunting license. He took a drink somewhere and went to sleep, he said, and someone substituted another gun and took Quinn's, but he retains no recollection of the where and how. AS LYNCHING CURE A summons to church people to penitence and prayer to free the nation from the evils of lynching and mob violence was issued Saturday by the Federal Council of Churches through its Commission on Race Relations. "Lynching is a crime which leaves its stain upon us all," the call declares. The day chosen for this observance is February 12, known as Race Relations Sunday. DETECTIVES DIVORCES, INVESTIGATIONS.

THREE FIRES IN SAME VICINITY; POLICE SUSPICIOUS Question Numbers of Persons in Neighborhood, but All Disclaim Knowledge of Supposed Pyromaniac Three fires, two of them serious, which started within a short time of each other and only a short distance apart Saturday, lead the police to believe a pyromaniac is at large in Harlem. Among the eighty families driven from tenements by raging flames, sixty of these poured from the five-story houses at 260, 262 and 264 West 126th street, near Eighth avenue, and 262 was completely destroyed. The blaze was discovered at 262 by Patrolman-Kirnan of the West 123d street station, who turned in an alarm, and a second alarm was necessary to combat the flames. Needed Christmas Cash, Man Says Held Without Bail for Special Sessions on Larceny Charge Wesley Sheppreson, 22, a painter, 211 Edgecombe avenue, accused of taking a purse containing $110 and jewelry from an apartment in which he was working, was held without bail for Special Sessions when arraigned before Magistrate Dodge, Thursday, in West Farms Court, on a charge of petty larceny. According to Mrs. Minnie Simon, white, the complainant, she had hired Sheppreson to remove wall paper and old paint, from her dining room at 547 Claremont Parkway. She left him in the room alone, she said, and her handbag was on the table top. When she returned Sheppreson and the purse had vanished, she testified. She told her story to Detectives Burke and Bauer of the Bathgate avenue station, and the painter was arrested at his home. He first denied taking the money and said that he never had been arrested before, but upon being searched a parole report card is said to have been found in his pocket, and he is alleged to have confessed taking the money because he "needed cash for Christmas." This is his fourth arrest, police over. THREE FIRES SAME W POLICE Question Numbers of Person Disclaim Knowle Pyron Three fires, two of them short time of each other and on urday, lead the police to belie Harlem. Among the eighty by raging flames, sixty of the houses at 260, 262 and 264 Wes- nue, and 262 was completely covered at 262 by Patrolman L. station, who turned in an alar- nessary to combat the flames. After all the occupants had fed to safety, Mrs. Mary Brown Johnson, 55, who lived on the top floor at 260, became bewildered by the smoke and cried for help from her front window. An extension ladder was raised and Fireman O'Dall of Hook and Ladder 28, and Engine Tender Clinton of Engine 72, carried her to the street with difficulty, as the woman could not be calmed until she was carried from the smoke. While the fire was at its height another blaze was discovered at 52 West 126th street, near Lenox avenue, by Patrolman Duane of the West 123d street station, and a two-alarm call was sounded. Nine families here were forced to flee from the second and third floors, and clerks and patrons of EXTRA REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION WHEREVER Possible Trade With Stores in Harlem That Do Not Practice Discrimination in the Selection of Their Employees. ANOTHER DEALER HAD ASSIGNED HIM TO SHOWROOM Hundreds of Negro Patrons, Viewing New Car, Did No Know William H. Harris, Authorized Salesman, Was Told He'd Have to Get Out William H. Harris, 36, 1945 Seventh avenue, the only authorized Negro salesman of Ford cars in New York territory and employed by DeLisser Motors, Inc., Ninety-seventh street and First avenue, was sent with other salesmen of the DeLisser company to the showroom of the Caswell Motor Company, Ford dealers, 651-61 West 125th street, near Broadway, where the new Ford car is on display for the benefit of a group of dealers in particular and the public in general. Mr. Harris was told by an official of the Caswell company, he says, that a Negro salesman would not be permitted to solicit prospective customers in their showroom and that he would have to leave. "The only way you will get me out of here is to put me out," Mr. Harris replied. "I have been sent here to sell, and that's what I'm going to do!" Mr. Harris was withdrawn two hours later. The incident took place Saturday afternoon, Dec. 3. the dress store on the ground floor also scampered to safety. This fire is thought to have been started on the second floor. The building was badly damaged, and smoke and water ruined hundreds of dollars' worth of goods in the dress shop. Within an hour of the first fire another alarm was sounded for a small blaze in the cellar and dumbwalter shaft of the five-story tenement at 566 West 129th street, near Broadway, where twelve white families were driven to the street by the dense smoke, although very little damage was done. Detectives of the West 123d street station questioned many persons in the neighborhood of each fire, the similarity of which lead the police to believe that they were set by a pyromanac.

"I have been sent that I'm going to do!" Mr. Harris was er. The incident took place Saturday W. H. Caswell and H. E. DeLisser, presidents of their companies respectively, during a specially arranged interview with an Amsterdam News reporter, Friday morning, tried persistently but unsuccessfully to down the race issue in the matter. Mr. DeLisser was tactful and diplomatic while Mr. Caswell relied more upon argumentative strategy and endeavored to dismiss the matter with a certain finality which he was not, however, permitted to enjoy. Both gentlemen explained that the representation of each dealer entitled them to not more than two salesmen on the showroom floor, and that Mr. Harris and Charlie Gandolfo, white, a DeLisser salesman, had been sent there by error, as two DeLisser salesmen were already at the Caswell showroom. They were therefore asked to withdraw. Mr. DeLisser explained that Mr. Harris had probably thought he was being withdrawn because he was a Negro. Mr. Caswell preferred to rest the matter solely upon the fact that the DeLissers were overly represented in the persons of Mr. Harris and Mr. Gandolfo, and to have nothing more to say. He denied that Mr. Harris had been asked to withdraw because he was a Negro. "Would you employ a Negro salesman or permit one to sell in your showroom, Mr. Caswell?" the reporter asked him. "Why should I answer any further questions?" Mr. Caswell replied. "I have told you that only two salesmen were allowed each dealer." "I do employ colored people here," he said a little later. "But would you employ colored salesmen?" he was asked again. "Anybody can be a porter or a garage man, but salesmanship calls for very high ability. The Negro is fighting for industrial and economic equality, Mr. Caswell." "Well, yes," said Mr. Caswell very reluctantly. "I would employ him if the situation called for it." Another official of Caswell, said to he the manager, when interviewed Thursday evening suddenly suffered a complete loss of memory of the entire matter, even saying that Mr. Harris had never called there. Nor could Mr. Gandolfo of DeLisser refresh the manager's memory. After denying that Mr. Harris was asked to withdraw because he was a Negro, Mr. Caswell sought further justification of the withdrawal in the fact that the appearance of Mr. Harris caused nearly all of the Negro prospects to go to him.

Into the legislative grist mill of the Seventieth Congress, which convened at noon Monday, were poured 5,400 bills and resolutions, ranging from private to national in interest. We Can Tell You What to Do Included in this number was the Dyer anti-lynching bill. Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, Republican of Missouri, reintroduced in the House of Representatives the measure which bears his name. He has been doing this attacky session of the Congress ever since passage of his bill was blocked by a Democratic filibuster in the Senate in the closing days of the Sixty-seventh Congress. A resolution directing the Committee on the Census to submit a report in connection with legislation providing for a reapportionment of Representatives in Congress was introduced by Representative George Holden Tinkham, Republican, of Massachusetts. The purpose of this resolution is the reduction of representation in the Congress of southern states in which Negroes are disfranchised. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules. Two bills to amend the original act of incorporation of Howard University were introduced. Their object is to authorize Federal appropriations to Howard University. At present there is no authority in law for the annual appropriations that are made to the school. Points of order against the appropriations are always made and sustained in the House of Representatives. The Senate restores the items that are stricken out in the House on the points of order. The passage of one of these bills would stop the making of points of order against appropriations to the university. One of the bills was introduced by Representative Daniel A. Reed of New York and the other by Representative Louis C. Crampton of Michigan, both Republicans. Representative Emanuel Celler, Democrat, of New York, reintroduced his bill to create a Negro industrial commission. A bill to extend the provisions of the Federal farm loan act to the Representatives is introduced by Representative Louis McFadden, Republican of Pennsylvania. Ford Dealer Bars Negro Salesman (Continued from Page 1.) that many of them were customers of his own salesmen who had waited eight months for this new business. This was obviously unfair, he said, and stressed his opinion that a new man like Mr. Harris should not be given precedence over the old salesmen. This latter statement precluded the question the reporter was about to ask as to why Mr. Harris should not be chosen as one of the two DeLisser salesmen with the understanding that he should solicit Negro prospects but not those who were Caswell's special customers. On the afternoon in question Mr. Harris interviewed nearly a hundred persons at the Caswell showrooms, and a number of them were white. Mr. Harris came into his position through direct application to the Ford Motor Company, who referred his letter to DeLisser Motors, Inc. Mr. DeLisser sent for Mr. Harris and accepted him immediately, on November 15. Mr. Harris said that when he called at the Caswell showrooms he offered both his card and the testimony of two DeLisser salesmen as positive identification of himself as an authorized DeLisser salesman, and he was told "Never mind. we don't want a colored salesman in this showroom; you will have to get out!" Mr. Harris refused to leave and remained, interviewing prospects for about two hours. Later Mr. JOHN H. HARRIS — William H. Harris — DeLisser called at the Caswell showroom and after explaining the situation, asked him to withdraw in the interest of diplomacy. Mr. DeLisser later told a reporter that notwithstanding what had happened Mr. Harris would be given every assistance and every opportunity to make good. "Mr. Harris is a fine fellow, and we like him. Perhaps I am setting a precedent in engaging a Negro salesman. Anyway, we're going to see that he makes good with us," Mr. DeLisser said. Prior to coming to New York, Nov. 5, Mr. Harris was teaching physics and physiology at the Armstrong High School at Richmond, Va., his native home. He graduated from the Virginia Union University in 1916 with the degree of Bachelor of Science. He began teaching the same year and during the World War he served as second lieutenant with the 551st Artillery. Following his discharge from the army in 1919 he went back to teaching. For the past seven years he was grand secretary of Masons of Virginia, which position he resigned in September of this year. His wife, Mrs. Alice H. Herris, is in charge of the City Playground at Richmond. "Customer" Flees With Two Diamond Rings Police are still searching for the smooth-tongued, nicely-attired "gentleman" whose persistence caused Bernard Kux, white, 60, and his wife, jewelers, 2058 Eighth avenue, near 112th street, to break their copper-fived rule of never allowing customers to take the jewelry into their hands when wanting to buy. The fellow had called the day before the robbery early last week and insisted upon handling two dinner rings valued at $500, which he said he wanted to purchase. He returned next afternoon and repeated his request before he said he would buy, and the instant he had hands upon the rings he snatched them and fled. Kux and his wife have lived in the rear of the little jewelry store for 20 years and they declare that this is their first loss.

Finest Harlem Apt. Open to Negroes (Continued from Page 1.) total rent reduction amounts to $30,000 per year. The average rent per room has been reduced from $27 to $22 per month, he said; apartments for which the whites paid $52 may now be had for $75. "Rents for Negro tenants have been reduced to the lowest possible figure that will enable the owners to make a profit," said Mr. Johnson. When fully occupied the house will yield a gross income of $11,113 per month or $133. 356 per annum, it is reported. The scale of rents are as follows: (All two-room apartments have been rented).

Every bath has a shower. The apartments may be leased and are not for sale. There is a large, shelved and lighted closet in every room and in the hallway, and some of them have full length mirrors in the door. The floors are hardwood and parquet, with composition floors in the kitchens, all of which are well lighted and equipped with all-steel, porcelain-lined iceboxes and double, glass-door dish closets. The kitchen windows are screened at the top permanently. And, of course, there is the gas range, double washbasins and other kitchen necessities. The bathrooms are lined with smooth-faced tile and the tubs are built-in. Each bathroom has a large medicine closet with a mirror in the door. The rooms are separated from the dining rooms by French doors, which are more numerous in the six-room homes. Lighting fixtures are the latest type. Tenants are given 24-hour service, and hall halls are always available. The Colonial always had a waiting list for tenants up to last summer, the superintendent said, and NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 1927 many prominent people were reslenced there. Miller Huggins and other ball players made their home there, he stated, along with a well-known district attorney and a millionaire of the U. S. Trucking Corporation. Every room is an outside room and above the seventh floor one is afforded a fine view of the Bronx, Hell Gate, Harlem River, Yankee Stadium and the Polo Grounds and Colonial Park on the East; Washington Heights and the East River on the North; Jersey, the Palisades and the Hudson River on the West, and Harlem and lower Manhattan on the South.

One enters the Colonial through the large entrance on Edgecombe avenue into a spacious lobby of tiled floor and high ceiling, furnished with upholstered chairs and mahogany tables and bathed in soft lights. There are two passenger elevators and one service elevator and all merchandise is delivered through the basement and at the service door, which lets into the kitchen of each apartment, all of which have from two to three exit doors. There is a large foyer in all except the two-room apartments. There are four stairways and two fire towers, and a fire cannot spread from one apartment to another. There is also a U. S. mall chute on every floor. The apartment rooms have paneled and stippled walls and are being freshly painted in cream, buff and Nile green.

C., I litical sentiment among Negroe lican presidential nomination Lowden of Illinois, it was evic Republican National Committee Governor Lowden is appara the lack of appeal of the other WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 12.—The first trend in political sentiment among Negroes for candidates for the Republican presidential nomination is toward Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, it was evidenced here last week while the Republican National Committee was in session. Governor Lowden is apparently the first choice because of the lack of appeal of the other candidates. Negro politicians fear Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover because of his close affiliations with the administration of the late President Woodrow Wilson, his general attitude in the Mississippi flood disaster, and the extremely friendly interest the South is manifesting in his candidacy. Senators Charles Curtis of Kansas and Frank B. Willis of Ohio are regarded as fair to the race, but neither of them has succeeded in lining up any of the Negro political leaders with them. In the event that Governor Lowden should withdraw from the race for the nomination at any time, it is believed that his strength will be inherited by Vice-President Charles G. Dawes.

They think that under that circumstance he will accept the nomination and be a candidate for re-election. These members of the committee are Perry W. Howard of Mississippi and Benjamin Jefferson Davis and Mrs. George S. Williams of Georgia. The fourth Negro member of the Republican National Committee will support the candidate whose queue Vice-Chairman Charles D. Hilles of New York espouses. Since Charles Evans Hughes has declared that he is not a candidate and will not accept the nomination if it should be offered to him, Mr. Hilles has been silent. It is believed, however, that pers for Sister - one of those smartly colored snow-resisting overboots for Mother or the girls-storm shoes or rubber boots for the boys moccasins, leggings, spats, buckles -why a host of things that will please most every one on your list - and please you, too, for their practical, thrifty prices. he will go into the Lowden camp, Roscoe Fickett, the Georgia state chairman, is supporting Governor Lowden. Albert S. Anderson, the Georgia vice-chairman and an office holder under the Coolidge administration, favors Secretary Hoover. Mr. Davis himself is for President Coolidge. The report is that J. T. Spence, a white man, called on Secretary Work for aid in getting a political appointment under Mr. Howard in Mississippi. Secretary Work is said to have advised him to bring a conteing delegation to the national convention for Secretary Hoover and overthrow the rule of Mr. Howard in Mississippi Republican politics. Melvin J. Chisum of Chicago was here for the meeting of the Republican National Committee, espousing the candidacy of Governor Lowden. Clarence R. Vena of Todelo, O., was here in the interest of the candidacy of Secretary Hoover. Mr. Vena was brought here by Walter F. Brown, also of Toledo, who is active in the management of the Hoover campaign. A reaction to the selection of Kansas City, Mo., as the meeting place for the next Republican national convention is setting in among colored Republicans. They complain that Kansas City is race-prejudice-ridden. Negroes are not permitted to visit in white hotels, Segregation obtains in all public places. There are no suitable hotel accommodations for Negroes. FREED OF THEFT CHARGE. Robert Driggs, 25, 233 West 122th street, was dismissed in Heights Court recently of a charge of grand larceny involving the theft of a 757 fur coat. The owner of the coat. Miss Rovers, could not find the coat. That coat took the coat and he was discharged for lack of evidence. Candy Store Held Up For Fourth Time The candy store of Albert Gormezoan, 45, white, 5 West 186th street, was robbed last Wednesday night for the fourth time in three years. Gormezoan said he was compelled to yield his day's receipts of $60 to two well-dressed bandits. Robert Jones, boss of a hotel next door, happened in at the time of the robbery and was relieved of $23 in cash. Gormezoan has had the thrilling experience—three years ago—of being held up in his store three times in one month. The storekeeper was counting his money when the men entered and one of them pointed a gun at his neck, while another took $40 from a cigar box and $15 from the cash register and his $5 watch. Jones came in to borrow a broom, and found it less expensive to buy than to borrow—he lost $23. Both men were backed into a hallway in the rear and the door locked while the daring pair escaped. Detectives of the West 135th street station are searching for the robbers. PROF. WILLI HUGGINS TO ADDRESS N.Y.U.

C. More Than 200 Persons, Prominent in All Walks of Life, Take Stock of Negro's Accomplishments DURHAM, N. C., Dec. 12 (By Staff Correspondent of the Associated Negro Press).—The effort to take stock and tabulate facts concerning the status of the Negro with some degree of exactness by a conference at Durham was attended with a marked success that astounded visitors and promoters alike. The assemblage of more than two hundred active participants represented a cross section of the most virile and aggressive characters in every phase of Negro progress. The idea of the Stock-Taking and Fact-Finding Conference was born with President James E. Shepard of the North Carolina College for Negroes and carried to fruition under a program and on plans laid down by a committee upon which were Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Dr. W. B. B. DuBois, Dr. W. G. Pearson and J. M. Avery. These, with their associates from almost every part of the country, are responsible for a conference that has established itself as the initial point of a new epoch in American Negro history. ranging from 1850 to the present day were remarkable for both completeness and for the facts disclosed. Robert L. Vann, publisher of the Pittsburgh Courler, and P. B. Young of the Norfolk Journal and Guide amplified the problems of the Negro press in an emphatic manner. Committees Politics—Alice Dunbar Nelson, chairman; L. W. Davis, W. L. Fitzg While in no sense a federation of Negro organizations, the conference crystallized the aims of all organized bodies; definitely determined the elements that were lacking; ascertained the fields that remained unexplored or inadequately developed and established a foundation for more precise measurement of our growth. Putting the Negro of today under a microscope handled by experts in the fields of business, education, labor, religion, and social uplift, the entire assembly looked him over, discussed his virtues and his defects with cold, analytical, yet warm sympathy. What was found was set forth in plain terms in order that the channels of future progress might be properly charted. Business practices and policies occupied a prominent place on the program. The contributors to this phase of the work presented such authentic information that their respective addresses may be accepted as authoritative surveys of their respective fields.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 1927 Medical Officer And Police Differ Medical Officer And Police Differ Attribute Death of Man and Woman to Different Although the medical examiner denied that their victims had died of liquor poisoning, Emmett Crosby, 371 Hudson avenue, and Samuel Jones, 43 Fleet street, both of Brooklyn, were held there early last week on a charge of manslaughter in connection with the deaths of George Gaston and Ada Sutton, who were found in the latter's apartment at 346 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, on the night of Dec 6. Following an autopsy on the bodies by Medical Examiner M. E. Martin, he announced that death had come as the result of carbon monoxide gas and not liquor poisoning. Officials of the Kings County Hospital, however, insisted that the three other members of the drinking party, who were in the hospital, showed distinct symptoms of liquor poisoning. A chemical analysis was performed on the bodies, and Dr. Martin's verdict of carbon monoxide was not substantiated. Crosby and Jones were then held on a charge of manslaughter in connection with the sale of the liquor.

He arrived home about 2:30 p. m., expecting to surprise his wife. As he set his foot into the house he was greeted by Hillman, a stranger "Where's Mrs. Gardner?" asked the husband. "None of your business and who are you anyway?" from Hillman. A battle loomed and Hillman grabbed a knife from the kitchen table, Gardner armed himself with a brick, and then Mrs. Gardner emerged from another room, saw her husband and "star boarder" about to engage in combat and started shrieking at the top of her voice. Cops came to investigate the disturbance and the trio landed in Bayonne headquarters. The complete story came out in court before Recorder William J. Caln last Thursday.

"Chains" Asked to Employ Negroes "Chains" Asked to Employ Negroes Pointed Out That All Other Races Are Represented Bringing to the attention of the United Cigar Stores, the Arnold Schultze Cigar Store Company, the James Butler and A. & P. grocery companies that those firms employ Jews in Jewish communities; Irish in Irish communities; Italians in Italian communities, and Germans in German communities, the Negro League for Equal Political and Civic Rights have requested those companies to employ in every capacity Negroes in their Harlem stores. In the letter which the newly organized league sent to the mentioned firms they point out the injustice of doing 95 per cent of business with colored people but permitting those same people whose money they take to share in none of the employment in communities like Harlem.

Greenberg testified that he saw Lofton enter the hallway of 202 West 147th street, and recognized him as the man who robbed him. He summoned Patrolman Cullen of the West 135th street station, who placed Lofton under arrest. Lofton is said to have been found in possession of a loaded revolver.

"The entire Negro population of 50,000 would have welcomed him, but was not permitted to do so by the Canal Zone government, none except the committee being allowed inside the pier gates. The committee talked with Garvey for two hours. He declared that he would allow nothing to hinder him in his plan to achieve the economic independence of the Negroes throughout the world, his ultimate aim being to establish a Negro republic in Africa.

He said that he was rushed to New Orleans where he was given twenty-four hours in which to leave the country, while his wife and friends awaited him at New York, where he made his home. "He hopes to be allowed in a few years to re-enter the United States, from which country he said he was the first Negro to be deported. He plans to remain in Jamaica a few months, return to Panama, and then tour Europe and Central and South America in furtherance of his plans for Negro improvement. "Garvey is being held aboard the Sara Macca until the arrival of the Santa Marta, on which he will sail next Thursday for Jamaica. Garvey's conviction has united behind the support of the West in Negroes here, where he is known and beloved by a vast toll, who believe that he means wrong but was convicted on a technicality."

Why Women Worry WASHINGTON — Negro women, who form a substantial percentage of the female wage-earners of Ohio, will be interested in a report upon the "Trend of Women's Wages," in Ohio, which shows a marked discrimination in pay in favor of the opposite sex. The survey, which was made by the U. S. Women's Bureau, states that more information about the great differences in the wage scale between men and women workers has just come from Ohio, where a study of the trend of payment for both sexes, based on figures of the Division of Labor Statistics of that State in 1925, has been published by the Information Bureau on Women's Work of Toledo. These figures show that of a total of 1,053,60 men, nearly 71 per cent were paid at rates of $25 and over per week; while of a total of 281,112 women, less than 16 per cent equalled that amount. Of all the groups studied, the wages of women in clerical positions compared most favorably with those of their male fellow-workers, but even here the percentage of men receiving $25 a week and over was almost two and a half times as large as the percentage of women receiving that much. Y. W. C. A. Notes The girls at the West 137th Street Branch of the Y. W. C. A. were much delighted with the music appreciation lecture-recital given by Miss Alma Rivers and Miss Overton on Thursday, Dec. 5. on "Piano Music." Miss Rivers talked about different types of piano music and the styles of various composers; Miss Overton Narrated the music numbers by Bach, Chopin, Cyril Scott, Liszt and Nathaniel Dett. Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray will sing songs and folk songs on Thursday, Dec. 15, and will lead the group in some singing. This will complete a series of four lecture-recitals. In the Business Girls' Club meeting, on Tuesday evening, Dec. 13, Miss Clarice Winn of the staff of the Public Library arranged a grand branch of the Public Library, told the girls about books suitable for Christmas reading and Christmas gifts. A Christmas pageant and choral service will be given by the Y. W. C. A. vested choir on Sunday, Dec. 15, at 4 p. m. The beautiful Christmas carols, which have been arranged so as to tell the story of the birth of Christ, will be sung by children while a group of young people will enact the scenes in tableau. There will be a Shepherd's scene and a scene of wise men bringing gifts to the Christ Child.

To begin with, the walls are done in a dull silver. The furniture is enameled black. This offers a wonderful combination. The black furniture is touched with fine lines of pink. The woodwork is done in the same tone of pink. If one wishes to be a wee bit extravagant, we covers of silver colored satin banded in pink velvet of the same color of pink that trims the furniture for the beds. At the windows have bright pink silk gauze glass curtains (curtains on rods top and bottom). The same silver colored satin used for bed covers is used for draperies. Have these caught back with velvet tie-backs. Beside the bed have a night table holding a lamp of mirror black base with a pink shade. If one has a guest room with two small windows, place between these windows a small dressing table made of a chest of drawers and a hanging mirror. Candlesticks of black and pink candles decorate the table. On the dresser place the toilete set which, if one has a silver one, is most effective. Above dresser have the ever popular hanging mirror. If it is hung from the moulding, have black or pink silk cords.

How to Use Perfume Many women think that perfume is a veil, shield, cover, or cloak under which they hide and fool people, but like the peacock hiding his feet one is fooled but the user. Before using any perfume, toilek water or talcum, take a bath! After that, put the toilet water onto the bare skin. A few dots patted on the arms give continual recurrence of sweet fragrance. Use one odor throughout and be sure that the body odor is negative. W. C. T. U.

Next Sunday night the lizheath Professionals, Elizabeth, and Larry Jones with the foum at the Harlem courts. It was announced that the Brooklyn. Dodgers, the only team to defeat the Renaissance at the Renaissance Casino, will be seen in a return game on the night after Christmas; Monday, Dec. 26, at the New Manhattan Casino. This is bound to be a hummer of a game, for the Dodgers have always been troublesome for the champions, losing last year by one point, and trimming the Renaissance this season 36 to 29. It is easy to figure out how the Renaissance will feel when they face the Brooklyn team on Dec. 26. In a fast preliminary game the Majestics defeated the Scholastics by the close score of 23 to 22 in a league game for the Bob Douglas trophy.

Morningside 6292-6387 NEW YORK CITY The GENERAL CORD LEARN TO DANCE ANDERSON'S STUDIO LENOX AVE. Apt. 14 Bradhurst 3573 BORDENTOWN, N. J.-The Bordentown Basketball Tournament became an assured fact last week when representatives of the loading colored amateur fives of state meet at the school to fix plans for the tourney. Newark, Atlantic City, Toledo, Toledo and Port Huron were represented by C. M. Cain, R. Lockett, A. Floorjour, A. Jones, H. Jensen, D. Graham, F. R. Lee, and C. Cox, L. Granger, chairman of the Bordentown School's athletic council, presided over the meeting and outlined the purpose and nature of the competition. The meet, which will be modeled after the University of Pennsylvania's inter-scholastic journey, is planned to feature a basketball among colored boys of New Jersey, which has fallen into a bad condition during the last few years. The tournament will extend over two week-end, so as to allow working boys as well as schoolboys a chance to compete. The opening rounds will be played on Friday, February 17, and Saturday the 18th. The following week will witness the semi-final and final rounds on the 23th and 25th games. Games 23th and 25th will include a schedule, beginning each evening at 7 o'clock and at 2 o'clock on Saturday after- A beautiful twenty-inch silver trophy for the winning teams and gold medals for the individual players will be presented by the school athletic council, and provision will be made for competition in two divisions, the lightweight and unlimited class. An attractive feature of the plans for the tournament will be the fact that the school is planning to accommodate those players who come from a distance and who desire to remain overnight. This will solve the problem of transportation for many of the boys, while giving them a chance at a taste of boarding school life. Announcements are being prepared to go out to the leading amateur teams of New Jersey. VANDALS LEAD EASTN LEAGUE Trounce Capital Club Before Huge Throng at Atlantic ATLANTIC CITY, Dec. 9.—A number of fans from Ashbury Park ast Friday night were filled with the expectation of seeing their favorite sons cop their first victory in the Eastern League of Associated Basketball Clubs. They came, they saw, but to conquer proved too much of a task. The Vandals had been primed for this fray, for vikings their near defeat on Thanksgiving were still fresh in their minds. That the Capital Club really meant to avenge their former defeat was evidence right from the opening whistle. In rapid succession, Bill Lawton, former Howard University star, sung two of the prettiest baskets that the natives said were the most spectacular that have been seen in these parts for quite a while. But first ten minutes the Vandals were somewhat amazed, actually dazed, over this unprecedented attack that nearly swept them off their feet. After calling time out, the big guns of the Vandals got into action. The elusive Billy Baskerville found the ramps and then, then, the ramp and the back up. The going proved too hot, despite the face that the Waltz Dream had all the cermarks of a first class refrigerating plant. NEWARK BEARS TAMED SUNDAY NIGHT Trolley Dodgers to Meet "Rens" Xmas Night - The Color Line in Boxing In the days when Jess McMahon, now matchmaker at Madison Squire Garden, conducted the Commonwealth. A. C., now known as the Olympia, he went out of his way to give colored boxers a chance. McMahon not only used available talent right up his doorstep, but reached all the way out to California and induced good colored mittens to come to Harlem. He was a success and even the daily newspapers were forced to concede that he conducted the most successful small club in Greater New York. With such good fighters as Bert Arbuckle, Jimmie Moore, Jack McVey and others crying for a chance, we see no reason why the Olympia could not successfully return to the mixed bout policy maintained with such deasing results by McMahon. The white fans turned out in large numbers, hoping to see the colored fighters defeated, while the colored fans used to pile up as early as five o'clock to obtain points of vantage in the club, so that they, too, could crow when members of their race won. This made for keen interest and furnished the excitement which kept the Commonwealth crowded every Saturday night. Howard and the C.I.A.A. W HEN Referee Henderson blew his whistle to start the Howard-Lincoln football game in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day, the C. I. A. A. rule, which forbade all member teams from participating in sports with representatives of Howard University, automatically ended, or, at least, lost all of its teeth. In like manner the icy aloofness which Howard University has religiously maintained to all peace overtures from the C. I. A.A. sympathizers during the period of the boycott became a negative factor in the controversy. It is safe to predict that diplomatic relationships between the former allies will be restored before the snow begins to melt in the spring. This sudden change in the attitude of both belligerents may be attributed to the spirit of good-will that is sweeping over the earth at this season of the year. Maybe, however, it is also reasonable to assume that the depleted state of the Howard University athletic treasury and the stagnant condition in the C. I. A.A. household since their big brother "ran off and joined the navy" has been the deciding factor. Whatever the causes, the knowledge of the return of the dove of peace to the C. I. A.A. household will be welcomed by athletic fans throughout the country. A declaration of peace will still leave many moot questions to be settled. Chief among these will be the solution of the training table problems at Howard. The reader will recall that the question of maintaining a training table at the university's expense during the football season created an uproar at Howard University last fall and was settled temporarily, after a strike by the football squad, when the New Jersey Alumni Association agreed to finance the training table for the season. The problem has been postpoured, but not settled by any means. The football players sensibly maintain that they cannot afford to finance their training under the strict university requirements and at the same time keep up their scholastic standards. The board of Athletic Control holds that a training table financed by university funds constitutes professionalism. If the Board of Athletic Control is correct, many of us will have to revise our conception of a professional athlete. The writer, having played on the Howard football team, would not advise any promising amateur to aspire to become a professional under the latter's definition of the word. The writer suggests that the whole question of the amateur status of the training table at Howard University be referred to a committee of the Amateur Athletic Union for decision. The latter has recently started a campaign to raise $400,000, or $1,200 per athlete, to defray the expenses of the 1928 Olympic team. There is no doubt that a training table will be maintained during the Olympics and some of the athletes on that team have personal incomes sufficient to finance Howard University. Yet, the Amateur Athletic Union will defray the cost of the trip. FW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS., WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 1927 FRANCIS TO LEAD HILLDALE CLAN Veteran Comes Back as Field General for Darby Daisies Launching upon an extensive rebuilding plan, Charlie Freeman, the new leader of the Hill tide Club, announces he has acquired the keystone of the 1928 edition of the Darby Daisies by signing Bill Francis, veteran infielder, of Chicago to manage the Hildale team. Incidentally, this will be a return engagement for the diminutive third tacker, as Francis captained the Daisies in 1920, '21 and '22. However, Francis comes back in the role of a leader and will not be required to be in the line-up as a regular. Francis is one of the old school players and sprang into prominence during the heyday of the old Philadelphia Giants. He was one of the wolverine's American Giants that Francis developed into a star and formed a part of that great infield of Grant, DeMoss, Lloyd and Francis. The owners of the Daisies share the fans' opinion and are far from satisfied with the brand of ball produced the past season by the Hilliard team. Funds from the Funds manage the team may be taken as a forerunner of a big shake-up in the ranks of the Daisies. Fort Valley "Wildcats" Now the State Champions Coach Bywaters "Wildcats," of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School, just closed its season with a clear-cut, smushing victory over Halines Institute of Augusta in the Municipal Stadium at Macon, Georgia, score 44-6. The sports editor of the famous Augusta game named Fort Valley as one of the best prep teams he had, ever seen in action. Of their eight games this season, Fort Valley bears only one defeat, and that at the hands of the Booker Washington High of Atlanta, score. 1-6. The one point margin represents the referee's decision on an offside at try for point for touchdown. However, Fort Valley's claim takes precedence over Washington High on three separate counts: (1) Atlanta holds the lead of Atlanta defended Washington High. 9-6. Then, Fort Valley beat Union Baptist, 12-6. (2) Fort Valley trimmed the Walker Baptists of Augusta. 45-0. Washington High beat Walker Baptist only 24-0. (3) Fort Valley lists victories over all the other outstanding high school teams: Hudson High, best in Macon, 20-0; Montezuma High, 65-0; American High, 32-0; Albany High, 27-0. Neither Washington High nor Union Baptist can display a similar record for victories over recognized high school teams in the same season. Fort Valley has only scored on three times in the entire season, rolling up 251 points to opponents 19. Up to last year, Fort Valley went through five years without a single defeat. The record of this season clearly reinstates them as High School Champions of Georgia. FORT VALLEY RECORD—1927. Fort Valley, 20 Hudson High. Fort Valley, 65 Montezuma High. Fort Valley, 32 Americus High. Fort Valley, 27 Albany High. Fort Valley, 6 Booker Washington, 7 Fort Valley, 12 Union Baptist. Fort Valley, 45 Walker Baptist, 6 Fort Valley, 44 Halines Institute. So much nonsense has been spilled by various committees in charge of amateur athletics among Negroes that it will be refreshing for both sides to submit their case to the amateur governing body and adjust their athletic program in accordance with the decision of that body. BROOKLYN CENTRAL TO PLAY CARLTON On Saturday, December 17, the Big Five playing in the Brooklyn and Queens Y, N. C. A. League will meet Brooklyn Central. Brooklyn Central has a wealth of material to draw from, and is expected to give Carlton a tough time at winning. To give Carlton has won two and lost one in the league, having been defeated at a time they was short on players. Every league game is a thriller and it is hoped that the public will give Carlton every support possible.

The Dodgers came to our town the early part of the season and in their own hailliwick took our own Renaissance Five and slammed them all over the court. When the shouting was over it was found that the Brooklynites had copped a victory and were returning to the City of Churches, rubber plants and baby carriages with the scalp of their victims hanging to their belts. Naturally Monsieur Robert, who is Dhu Douglas, according to W. Rollo Wilson, from whom we have not heard in ages, bit his seegar in two with mortification and then and right there, with tears in his eyes, belligerently demanded that the Dodgers prove to a waiting world that their victory was not a fluke Brooklyn, never tardy in taking up a gauntlet when thrown at her feet, got behind the Dodgers and told them that what it took to stop the Renaissance and keep them stopped the trolley duckers had it, so if you meander up to Manhattan Casino Christmas night you are going to witness one of the toughest battles it has ever fallen to the famous old court to house. Renaissance, we understand, intend starting the fireworks early and jumping into the lead and staying there (if they can), but the Ofay boys have been kidding this writer while asserting that they are wise to the Dhu Douglass plans and will nip them in the bud early. We missed the game Thanksgiving night, but ask us if we are going to be absent Christmas night. Carlton Defeats 135th St. The Carlton Y. M. D. added another victory to its list in defeating the 155th street aggregation 32 to 16. Displaying flashy suits and one number it was thought that the Hammond team would also pass the ball around Carlton. Regardless of the outcome of the game Mikel's Society Orchestra will furnish the music for the monster throng and methinks it will be in the nature of a celebration after the game, for Messrs. Slocum and company are bidding their friends to be present to "dance with joy." We shall see. the boys played a hard game, but to their own surprise, Carroll proved too fast for them. The Brooklyn boys demonstrated an offensive attack that Harlem could not stop, and at the same time played such Billiard Tournament at the Lafayette Moving Slowly The games of the Harlem amateur round robin billiard tournament at the Lafayette Billiard Emporium are moving slowly owing to the coming holidays. Watching the entrants make the required average in the matches was full of thrills. Bell and Jordan both made the grade in their tryouts, as well as defeating their opponents. Joe Grey and President Scott had that of 100 points up in the club on the professional table. Scott defeated Joe 100 to 89. Joe, not being satisfied, challenged him to meet on the regulation table and Scott repeated. Fisher is stepping along nicely in Class C, as is Douglass. No one has got straightened out as yet. Among the Class, B group there seems to be a lot of lagging on the part of a few of the top notchers, it is hoped they get excited soon. It is from among this group the championship match is to come. J. Bennett (Snake) has enrolled in Class C after an absence of a year from the game. GREAT HUBBARD ABSOLVES A.A.U. Great Jumper Says That Referee's Word Is Final Final With a edits to clear up the impression that has spread throughout the Middle West to the effect that the Amateur Athletic Union gave DeHart Hubbard a "bad deal" when its Record Committee at the recent A. A. U. meeting rejected application for his world's record jump of 26 ft. 2¾ in., made in Chicago last September, the famous Negro broad-jumper has written a letter to the A. A. U. here in New York which completely absolves the A. A. U. from any such charges. He said in part: "This is my first statement since the rejection of my cherished 26 foot record. I feel I should make it because of a general impression that the A. A. U. gave me a bad deal." I want to absolve the A. A. U. of any such charges. I have learned that the referee of the meet made a signed statement on my application that in his estimation the sand was an inch or so too low. I must say that that is drawing it pretty fine without an actual survey, but I realize that no record could be accepted in the face of such a statement by the referee. I count peacetown opinion the pit was absolutely Q. K but the referee's word is final. I hope that makes my viewpoint clear. "But, you may tell the wide, wide world that there will be another 26 foot jump next year and it will be more than 26 ft. 22 in. too." JIMMY WALKER AT THE GARDEN Philadelphia Amateur in Return Bout With George White Jacob W. Stump, chairman of the Metropolitan Association of the A. A. U. boxing committee, has completed his selection of entries for the five-cornered Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh. New Haven and New York amateur intercity championships at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night. Eighteen contests in six classes, with three bouts in each division, are scheduled in which Jimmy Walker, of Philadelphia, will be one of the principals. Walker is the colored featherweight who figured in a sensational losing duel against George White at the Philadelphia-New York intercity glov festival, which was referred by Jack Dempsey. Claiming that he was awed by the former heavyweight champion's presence, Walker feared for a return match with him. As the latter has failed to respond to the invitation, the committee has assured the Philadelphia that he will be given an opportunity to appear in a special contest. The crowd of Community Center members that attend at P. S. 139, 140 West 140th street, was treated to a very fast and interesting basketball game when the Buffalo Juniors defeated the fast Royal Five of Harlem last Tuesday evening by a score of 22 to 15. The Buffalo Seniors are planning a very active season. a good defensive game that Y. M. D. could not near the goal. A wonderful spirit of sportsmanship prevailed throughout the game, and 135th street, although on the loosening out, fought to the last minute. CARLTON 135th ST. Y. M. I. Y. M. D. 32 16. G. F. I.

CHRISTENSEN SCHOOLS OF POPULAR MUSIC 243 W. 42d St. Baltimore and 81st Ave. 111 W. 125th St. New Lexington NELSON AMONG THE VICTORS Seven Knockouts Feature Bouts at Knights of Co Columbus Club Seven knockouts in eleven bouts were recorded at the weekly set of amateur bouts conducted by Columbus Council, K' of C., at the Prospect Park West clubhouse last Thursday night. Ruby Fenster and Anthony Garagliano of the Holy Name Club proved most effective in this line, scoring a aplace. Jackie Sullivan, the Mission Club bearcat, was handed an early Christmas gift in the nature of a technical kayo over Henry Zack, an Air Rockaway K. of C. At the end three rounds, the setter was called a sullivan, however, had opened a cut over Zack's right eye just before the final gong. The injured optic bleed so profusely that Referees Bernie Neuman had to halt the bout. Up to the unfortunate ending, Zack had been giving Sullivan a fine boxing lesson. He stormed all over lajackie in the opening session and won the stanza with plenty to spare. Henry was jabbing quite accurately in the following frame as well, although Sullivan got in several telling blows. The Mission Club entry opened up with full force in the third frame, however, and had Henry in a bad way. It was this final rally that earned Sullivan an even verdict. Jack, however, was getting stronger toward the close of the session, and might have made things real lively in the fourth round had not the cut eye stopped him. Hester, in scooring two kayoses, won 18-18 pound class. In the preamble pumple put Jerry Epstein to sleep midway in the second round. He stopped Ray Scarpate in the first round of the final. Ray, a Trinity Club boxer, put up a game battle, but could not weather the barrage of uppercuts that Fanster shot at him. Anthony Caragliano of the Holy Name Club proved the terror of the 125-pound class and emerged an easy victor. Anthony showed his wares for but two rounds, hanging up two one-round kayoes. In a 160-pound special, Albert Knutsen, Norwegian Turn Verein, won three slow and uninteresting rounds over Armas Eskola, Far Rockaway K. of C. both weighed closer to the 200-pound margin than 180 and were slow afoot. In the remaining four-man class tournament, Ed Nelson of the Silent Fourth, Far Rockaway Tom Murphy, Far Rockaway Casey lad, in three rounds to cop the final, Nelson knocked out. John Landolpe, his semi-final opponent, in one round. The summary: Preliminaries. 115-Point Class—Ray Scarpate, Trinity A. C. defeated Joe Laquinta, Paulina C.

GOOD BOUTS AT FLUSH'G ARMORY Regimental Boxers Performed Before Enthusiastic Fans Last Week Meeting the rushes of Charley Young of the 14th Regiment Armory with countering left and rocking right, Jack Kid Hurk had little trouble getting the decision in the eight-round feature bout at the Flushing Armory last Thursday night. Hurk was master of the situation in every round but the sixth, when Young staged a rally that had Jack on the defensive until the closing moments of the session, when Hurk again displayed his superiority. Hurk welched 127%, Young a pound lighter. Jimmy Scott proved too clever for Willie Hohn, of Flushing, in the semifinal of eight rounds and captured a tame affair. The colored Jamalac lightweight shot a left through Hohn's guard consistently, the latter evading it rarely. Probably the best fight of the night was the scheduled six-rounder in which Jack O'Hara, 14th Regiment officer, scored a technical knockout over Pete Lawson of the 22nd Engineers, in two rounds. In the second session O'Hara, with Lawson's lip with a right and left, found he found his way round bled so profusely that he refused. Hennhurn stopped the bout at the end of the session. It looked as if the fans would only get 28 rounds of boxing instead of the 32 rounds of football and into the breach by taking on two opponents, each seated to go six rounds. His first round came when he stopped him with a right to the law after but 40 seconds of scuffling. It was just a case of Keyes meeting the crowd of fans. He then hitting him with a right that sent him out for good. George's second victim was a man named Joe Begg who battled him on even tiles for a round and a half and then ran into Keyes dynamite dealing right, and that finished him. These boys are all walterweights. Anthony Caragliano, Holy Name Club, knocked out Anthony Magre, Gramercy Bcy's Club, Special Boats. 128-Pound Class—Jack Sullivan, Mission Club, won.

Nabors weighed $125\frac{1}{4}$; his opponent, $122\frac{1}{2}$. Nabors scored frequently in the first with a well-timed one-two punch. Frisco got in a light left jab three or four times, but it bothered Benny not a bit. He kept plunging into the Filipino with both hands flying and easily copped the session. The second was a repetition of the first. It looked as tough Benny, in his anxiety to stow Frisco away, was punching rather low in the clinches. However, no great kick was made by anyone concerned, and, anyway, the punches didn't seem to be hurting Bautista much. Benny dropped Frisco in the third with a right to the jaw, Bautista arose at the count of five and Nabors went right after him. Lefts and rights followed each other in rapid succession, and finally Frisco dropped from a flurry of body blows. The jersey counted him out near the close of the stanza.

COLORED LADS WIN IN ARMORY BOUTS Eastern Basketball League Teams Now Active Bobby Nelson, colored flash and champion of the National Guard in the lightweight division, won from Mickey White in the semi-final. Mickey was in at 133. Nelson being three pounds lighter. White fought the first two sessions in great style. His left found Bobby's face often and he scored frequently with a fast right cross. Bobby woke up in the third and earned an even break. Mickey took the lead again in the fourth, hitting Nelson with plenty of rights. Bobby kept boring in, putting in some of his most effective work. The fifth was Nelson's best session. He kept after Mickey and dropped him with a left to the stomach just as the bell rang. White came back strong in the sixth. Eddie Reilly, Golden Gloves winner, won on a foul over Billy Duce of the 369th after two minutes and 40 seconds of the second round of a scheduled eight. Duce dropped to the canvas writhing in pain and the referee awarded the fight to him, Reilly welched 127; Duce, 125. q. h. Joey (Kid) Nelves, of Fort Jorriton, handed a pasting to Freddie Williams, of the 369th, in a six-rounder. Nelves took every round but the first, in which he earned an even break. Joey was atop of the colored lad all the way, but Freddie never stopped coming in with both hands working. However, he was wild and seldom landed cleanly. Freddie Monte, 118, fought a fast draw with Nick DeSantis, 117, in a four round event, while Cliff Cross defeated Dick Armstrong in the opening four. Colored Fighters on Olympia Card Made Splendid Showing Bruce Flowers. New Rochelle colored entry for lightweight honors, repeated his triumph of several months ago when he defeated Eddie Elkins of Harlem in the final ten spot before a good crowd at the Olympia A. C. last Saturday night. The decision in Flowers' favor was met with the fans' approval. Flowers had no easy time of it with the aggressive Harlemite, being forced to the limit through most of the rounds, but showing to advantage in being able to force the issue time and again. Flowers cut Eddie's right eye in the fifth round, gave Eddie all he had in the ninth, and engaged in a good old-fashioned slugging bee in the final canto. Flowers weighed 135½, Elkins, 135¾ Referee Kid McPartland stopped the scheduled semi-final six-rounder in 1:31 of the fifth, giving Tommy Simms, Harlemite, the knockout triumph over Ted Achilles, of Greece, Achilles, unlike his famous ancestor, was completely outclassed. Simms weighed 132½%; Achilles, 138. Jimmy McNamara, 130½. Greenwich Village, won from Freddy Alexander, 131. Harlem, in another six, George Cuneo, former National Guard bantam champ, from Greenwich Village, came off the close winner over Mickey Sedin, Srantonian, substituting for Bobby Armstrong, in their six-rounder. Cuneo's jabs just about managed to get him by the rough mining district representative. Cuneo weighed 122½%; Sedin, 122½. Jack Bates, 143½, Harlem, won from Joe Palno, 145, Brooklyn, and Dick Walsh, 116, outpointed Jimmy Palumbo, 120½, Richmond Hill, in the opening fours. Kid McMartland referenced, Billy Jacobs and George Kelly judging. Phil Cockrell, the veteran spitball artist, proved to be the first Hilliidae player to attach his signature to a 1928 contract. This will be the eleventh straight year that Cockrell has contracted to .hurl for the Daisies. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS; WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 1927 Robertson's Opinion The fight between Al Brown, the Panama-American, and Scillie, the clever featherweight champion of Belgium, which was held at the Cirque de Paris a few weeks ago, was exceedingly interesting. The decision given by the judges of a point victory to the Belgian did not meet with general approval, and rightly so. Brown clearly had the better of seven rounds, in which he piled up points enough to stand off the fine rally by Scillie in the three last sessions. Scillie fought much better in the fight of Tuesday night than he did in his previous meeting against Brown. The Belgian was in magnificent physical condition, and he is a hard fighter to beat. For at least two-thirds of the rounds Brown was the aggressor, a fact that the judges evidently overlooked. Another fact was that he was cautioned on several occasions when it was unnecessary. His head did come in contact with the forehead of Scillie's at times, but that was no fault of the colored boy. He was going in head low for the body, and to protect himself from body punishment the Belgian lowered his guard and left his head unprotected. An experienced American fighter would have taken advantage of the situation, and instead of getting butted would have delivered a wallop or two to the jaw. There is nothing in the rules of boxing to my knowledge that prevents a boxer going in with his head lowered to an opponent; therefore Brown should not have been cautioned for so doing. If there was a little unintentional foul work, it was not all to the side of Brown. On three occasions Scillie delivered the forbidden rabbit punch without any cautioning. Perhaps the judges were influenced somewhat in giving the verdict by the plaudits of the upstairs crowd, who cheered the Belgian boy almost continually, along with the last few minutes' rally which Scillie put across. While personally I consider the judges made an error when awarding the fight to Scillie, it was without doubt absolutely an honest one in their judgment when compiling up the points in the contest as they did. "ST. SEE" MAKES LEAGUE DEBUT "ST. SEE" MAKES LEAGUE DEBUT Swamps Capitol Club in Game at Asbury Park ASBURY PARK, N. J., Dec. 5.—Displaying a passing game that bewildered and elicited the huge throng that packed Roseland Hall to its capacity (St. Christopher's mighty Red and Black machine breezed into this town on the tail of a blizzard and completely avalanchod the Capitol Club to the disconsolate tuno of 55 to 19. Led by the dauntless Eddie Corbin, St. C. unleashed an attack in the opening stanza that well-nigh swept the opposition off its feet. Capt. Corbin, denizen of the polished surface and veteran of many battles, led his team in faultless manner. The victory for the invaders was clean cut and left no room for doubt as to their supremacy. Too much praise cannot be given to the entire team that represents New York City in the Eastern League of Associated Basketball Clubs. St. Christopher, noted for the well-drilled, clean-cut teams they produce, will make the going tough for all the members of the Eastern League. They have yet to meet the Vandals of Atlantic City, the League leaders. This game will take place Friday, Dec. 16, in Atlantic City. Excitement around the 133rd street institution borders on the feverish and a goodly crowd will journey to the shore to enjoy a hectic battle. The first home encounter for the New Yorkers is scheduled for Dec. 23, when the Carlisle Club representing Washington in the Lengue, will be entertained at the Parish House. Line-up: ST. C.

On Saturday, December 10, Brooklyn basketball followers witnessed one of the fastest games played so far this season. St. Cyprinan, led by Peters, an old Y. M. D. star, drew first blood by tallying three goals to Carlton's one point during the first eight minutes of play. St. Cyprinan was moving so fast that Carlton was forced to call on two more players of the squad to go in and start something. The Big Five finally got going and at the end of the first half the score was 1014 favoring Carlton. Herndon, the invincible, was running wild as usual and with the eye of an eagle piled up 10 points. "TEXAS" ALEXANDER Exclusive Okeh Artist triumphs with . . .

SIKI IN BOUT WITH BROWNING Pair Meeting Tonight (Tuesday) at the Ridgewood Grove The return to New Ridgewood Grove tonight of Reginald Sikl, Senegalese champion and the only colored wrestler now competing in America, seems to have intrigued the fans. Sikl will meet Jim Browning (Kansas Cyclone) in a thirty-minute preliminary to two finish bouts. In the finish bouts, Tony Rocco, of Italy, and latest favorite of the fans of that nation, will face Cyclone Ress, of Germany, and always an interesting performer; Big Taylor, Wyoming cowboy, defeated last Tuesday by Hans Steinke, will tackle Frank Bruno, of Poland. Henri De Glane, French champion, who arrived last Sunday in quest of a match with Steinke, will be seen in the first preliminary against Harry Stevens, American "Apollo." Siki is a tremendous favorite. No one can explain exactly why. Of course he has won all his bouts, but others have done as much. They have christened him the "Black Menace." Albeit, his popularity transcends that of any other grappler, Hans Stelke excepted. Siki has given the best of them a merry time, including Wladok Zbyszko, who failed to throw him in thirty minutes. Jim Browning is one of the leaders of the profession. He has met World's Champion Joe Stecher thrice. Yet in Siki he is tackling a tough customer, and it is a question whether or not he can do anything with him. EDDIE RILEY AND ANDERSON TO MEET There will be no boxing show in the 212th Anti-Affrayt Armory, Sixty-second street and Columbus avenue, until Wednesday evening, Dec. 28. The U. S. Government will use the armory for a temporary post office during the two weeks' Christmas rush. Matchmaker Joe "Y" HOLDS SEVENTH ANNUAL ROAD RACE William Mont won the turkey donated by A. C.

The senior race was won by Cyril Pouls, with Robert Howell running second, and William Mont third. The junior race was won by H. Holmes, with L. Bartan running second and A. Webb third. Robert Douglas, chairman of the Track and Field Committee, was in charge. Eric Illidge, Philip Brown, and Milton Jackson acted as checkers. Robert Douglas was starter, F. H. Townsend timer, and F. Smith, W. Anderson and L. Hunt judges at the finish. Frush in Comeback Role Dainny Frush, veteran of many ring wars, is back in New York, bent on a comeback in his fistic career. Frush's last bout in this city was with Johnny Dundee in 1922. He opines he can take the measure of the present crop or featherweights. To show he still possesses the ring goods that had him among the top notchers, he will box Speedy Dean at the Olympia A. C. Saturday night in one of the six-round bouts on the card headed by Lou Moskowitz and Lew Hurley.

With Best Wishes for the Yuletide THE AMSTERDAM NEWS STATION NYLW BROADCASTING RADIO NEWS The Utica Jubilee Singers from WJZ continued their singing of spirituals last Sunday. Such old favorites as "Nobody Knows the trouble I See," "I Want to Be Ready" and "Hard Trlais, Great 27, ulations" were greatly enjoyed.

The American singers' program, from WOR Sunday, included, among others, the Negro spiritual, "On My Way to Heaven." Frank Croxton, basso, sang "Go Down, Moses." "Minstrels, Old and New." With Ethel Waters, Al Bernard. Collins and Harlin and others, was the theme broadcast from WEAF Monday night. Regarding Miss Waters, a well known New York daily said, "Ethel Waters, a popular colored singer, will also be heard.

Eric McDonald, 222 West, 146th street, was indicted on a charge of robbery by a Grand Jury Monday in General Sessions Court, and held in $5,000 ball for further trial. McDonald is accused of burglarizing the apartment of Eliza Smith, 228 West, 143th street on Nov. 30. His mother's brother died about a year ago without leaving any wife or children. Chapman resided about four or five years ago in Brooklyn. Mrs. Smith reported her loss to the Harlem Protective Service Bureau, 200 West 135th street, and Harry P. Tarver, one of its operatives, was assigned to investigate. He is said to have found a suit of clothes belonging to Mrs. Smith in a pawnb shop. The remainder of the stolen property was found in McDonald's possession, he said. Tarver arrested McDonald and remanded him to the custody of Detective Winterhalter of the West 135th station.

There Will Be Many Other Well-Known Entertainers Present on the Above Night. "The Big Parade" At the Lincoln "The Big Parade," which comes the latter half of the week to the Lincoln Theatre, is without doubt the greatest picture in the history of the screen. More vividly than any words ever printed do the scenes of this motion picture tell the story of the World War. It is a King Vidor production for Metro Goldwyn-Mayer starring John Gilbert. Laurence Stallings, the author, and King Vidor, the director, have combined and executed a story so great it means none of the earmarks of the average screen spectacle. It is simple, moving, genuine. Mirth, sorrow, laughter and bitterness are all a part of "The Big Parade." It is a great human document. It has taken America a decade to attain a proper perspective on the latest conflict, but now that the war is over and intelligent thought has given place to passion and prejudice on the subject. We can at last appreciate a story depicting it faithfully. That is what "The Big Parade" does. There is no glorification of war, nor of flag waving rather it glorifies heroism and tolerance. John Gilbert gloves a great and unfearful smile. He is a doughty dog. He endows the role with all his charm and creates a character that is both funny and serious of those who see it. Renée Adoree plays Mollissane, the French girl, in a scene where she loves scenes between the two are romantic gems. Others in the cast who score hits are Karl Dane and Tom Gilbert. "NOBODY BLUNDERED," SAYS JESSE SHIPP Mr. Jesse Shipp, of the Florence Mills Memorial Committee, takes exception to columns last week wherein it was said that the Committee blundered in the benefit performances at the Lafayette and Alhambra Theatres and especially the benefit performances at the Lafayette and Alhambra Theatres and especially the performance was cancelled shortly before curtain time, Saturday, Dec. 3. Iability for calling off the show, which disappointed many people, and jeopardized that the side of tickets at the Lincoln did not justify giving a performance, rather than them, ours, said Mr. Shipp, "and probably ruin our chances of engaging them again for a similar affair." Rather than ours, we packed house at the Lafayette and Alhambra theatres. Other extinguishing conditions are the combination of unfavorable conditions as we saw them bred in us for culture, and wisdom dictated our decision. Mr. Shipp placed the net proceeds of the benefit in our hands and stated that the committee is planning to stage a large and successful event benefiting the Theatre in the near future. Being a Few Words From a Leading Critic Who Sees Us as Born Actors William F. McDermott, writing in the January issue, said the following to say anent the appearance of our people in some of the leading shows: THESE are triumphant times for the TREES in our theatres. Extreme brunet was never before so fashionable back of the footlights. To be the most moriferous ensemble acting now visible in New York is supplied by a Negro costume designer, black belt called "Porgy." This production is under the austere direction Theatre Guild, sponsors of the recently seen and excellently done "Lygmation." BELAISSON'S "Lolita Lolita" also a late visitor in three parts, numbered many Negroes in its company, and now comes Ziefeld in "Show Bont," giving us a girl show in which the majority of the beauties, the liveliest of the dancers, and the most stirring of the singers are Afremen. THUS our blackamoor brethren are Trenowned with a respectful flourish by the denn of American producers, by the most celebrated of the girl show impresarios. It was only a few short years ago that a famous American actress refused to act in Eugene O'Neill's fine "All God's Chillun Got Wings" because the play demanded the use of Negros in the cast. And it wasn't so very long since be- allowed Bert Williams hesitated to walk down the street with a critic who wasn't fit to shine his tail shoes because he thought the critic might be embarrassed by showing himself to be the friend of a gentleman and an artist who happened to be born a Negro. Our sable fellow-citizens are likely to make excellent use of their new opportunities in the theatre. They have the true mimetic sense. In tion comes to them naturally! They have a rich and distinctive humor. Vibrant roles are rulers attuned for tragedy, for stirring emotion, are more common among them than among Cuculans. RHYTHM is born in them. I never saw a group of Negro steppers who were so much into their dancing. That particular quality—and everybody senses it—cannot be duplicated by whites. ACTING of any sort requires a certain emotional richness, a quick sensitivity to impressions. I imagine that people with these qualities are more numerous among Negroes than among the blonds, Norse or other. It would be pleasant some time to see an English classic—say Shakespeare's "Hamlet"—performed by a cast of men of high performance would be more genuinely musical than any representation of Shakespeare you or I have ever seen. Shakespeare is nothing if not musical. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 1927 WHAT HAPPENED AT THE DUNBAR, PHILA.3 Great tales are coming out of Philadelphia these days. The latest is thatull was not so well at the Dunbar lastweek, and, while we do not pose as a prophet, we could have given sometimely advice had we been called in.We have long since made a reputationand because of a clientele closely packedin our community manage to get by.

His bomber reconnaissance plane had been clarified between two theatres here last week. BUT we do know that the Philadelphia impressario has been called upon to do some fast thinking during the past few weeks. A certain unrest has been stirred because of the merger of two theatres catering to Negroes but because another large house has been opened in Philadelphia with the same object. PROVING which, if you ask us, the field is a most remunerative one, and battles can be expected from time to time. It has ever been thus. Money, equipment, and training have battled for, even though the implements of warfare be what George Schuyler so artfully calls the dingo. WHILE we are innocently pleading for the man who is to be forming an association whereby these revenues (if we must have 'em) could be the war cloud of eight or ten weeks, the war cloud of over twenty hovering over Harlem. Then, like a shot from a clear sky, came the first to clear the way for heavier shelling. COLONEL FRANK SCHIFFMAN of the Lafayette Theatre brought up his forces and, training his guns on the army, all commanded by the Bedford Snyder, opened fire and laid waste that section of 135th street occupied by the New York Theater. Colonel Schiffman informs this war correspondent that he regrets being forced to remain with the adversaries to Major Snyder, despite the strategic position he knew he held, but Major Snyder is alleged to have asserted that the NEW AL W ALHAMB 126th Street and Seventh Avenue Now Playing---The B Strut, Step A Revue that has EVERY Comedy to Lurid Melodrama Heart-Throbs — Displaying the Versa CAST OF ALL AND the Ecstatic Dance ALHAMBLE The Critics say it is the best, and seldom equally.

We understand that she will be leave the early part of next month for a major management Miss Waters has been appearing for quite some time. The management Miss Waters has been appearing for quite some time, and the art performers to be obtained. What Ethel Waters is at present the most admirable and most admirable to our way of thinking her European trip is fraught with great possibilities for her. We believe that she will be the opportunity beckoning Miss Waters and I leave no stone unturned in bringing her to that place which should be justly hers. Nile Six Hundred could perform more than once. COLONEL SCHIFFMAN'S drum fire was mighty effective, for it kept the Drake-Walker relief expedition from appearing at the Lincoln, and while everything is quiet, it was just a front, and a very strong way of preparing for a long, and bitter battle when ampires will be called upon to pass on the strongest claims that will be involved. Possibly Major Snyder's new gun, Alhambra circuit will eventually have some bearing in this battle, but until such time as we can have our passes to the front lines renewed we are forced to await developments. IN the meantime the army made up of Negro partners are sullenly demanding some recognition in the fight for democracy. We hope to tell the world that the boys just curve when a suggestion is made that the demons of the men will chain will carry the Wildrow Wilson stamp. What forces us to smile is that, despite the claims being made by some of our well-known revue producers, no attempt made to form the plan of Negro producers and actors, whereby their claims could demand the recognition which they feel should be theirs. DERSONALLY, we have no advice to give in the matter at this time, and if we had the first time to get we would be for some of our friends to soak away some of the good dough they claim they are making, so that HOLIDAY SPECIAL GRACE GILES' FAROUS PUPILS IN MONSTER SHOW AND DANCE At the Beautiful RENAISSANCE CASINO 138th St. and 7th Ave. WEDNESDAY AT NO. 4, 1923 Austin 810 Sharp A big New Year's treat—an exhibition of all the latest stage dances will be given by professional pupils who are shown.

ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D. THIS is a common ailment. In fact, it is universal. Human beings are afflicted with this condition of depressed spirits at some time of their lives. In some people it is occasional, while in others it occurs with a frequency that oppresses their personalities, makes them fail in their work, commit suicide or become mentally unbalanced. The scientific term for the "blues" is psychic nervousness or anxiety neurosis. Thus, you see, science recognizes the condition and gives it a name; music interprets it with the "blues song," and the "blues singer," even though fat, husky and gross, gets tumultuous applause from those who listen and feel a kindred feeling. The "blues" may be caused by some physical disorder or some expressing experience. This is the usual cause. There is, however, another cause which, though not so frequent, is seen from time to time. This is a constitutional, inherited anxiety of the mind and nerves. There is a loss of psychic balance, causing an inhibition to be continually overly nervous. In such people is to have them regain self-confidence. There is an avenue in which can excel in. This should be found. It may be a game of chess or cards; it may be in the arts, such as singing or music; it may be making a cake or some other household art; it may be some hobby. In some way the inferiority Mental depression or the "blues" does not occur only in the lowly and ignorant, but quite often among the rich and those of good mental equipment. It is a sickness of the mind and nerves which results from helplessness and despair and its treatment and cure depend largely upon the case. In some cases, the disturbed mind and nerves is due to some physical disease such as syphilis, diabetes, hardening of the arteries or the loss of the sense of "the blues" in this condition is the cure of the physical disease. A good doctor with efficient and sufficient treatment will prevent a person whose mental depression is due to pain and discomfort from "singing the blues." There are other cases of this anxiety neurosis due to some mental perturbation, some depressing mental experience such as a fateless lover, a polygamous adulterous financial loss, a disappointing financial loss, appointment, defeated ambition. Such cases of "blues" or psychic nervousness are more difficult to treat. With such people there is usually a feeling of inferiority which may not be expressed, but is nevertheless there. It is subconscious. The best way to cure the "blues" Distinction vs. Distinction vs. Discrimination By KARL F. PHILLIPS NATION-WIDE comment masses have been evoked ted States Supreme Copyrights of colored persons. It forth adverse criticisms as to highest judicial tribunal are attempt of colored purchasers zones restricted by contract right of Chinese to attend the have passed specific legislation NATION-WIDE comment among the Negro classes and masses has been evoked by recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court, involving the so-called civil rights of colored persons. Particular cases which have drawn forth adverse criticisms as to the alleged modern trend of our highest judicial tribunal are those which have related to the attempt of colored purchasers to buy real properties in white zones restricted by contract or covenant, and the alleged right of Chinese to attend the white schools in States which have passed specific legislation for the separation of the races. Zealous present-day critics of Mr. Chief Justice Taft and his associates have looked far wide of the Court's past precedents in such so-called colored cases as those of Gains, Edwards, Rives vs. Virginia, etc., in which the Court tells that it was not unconscionable that so-called laws which would distingulah, by color, as between passengers, students, and other applicants for the use of public accommodations and utilities. Even after the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act in 1887, the Court clung tenaciously to its announced precedent that distinction was a lawful measure entirely within the scope of State Constitutions. A careful resume of the Court's findings however reveal many points sunshine in that the Court concurrently found that although distinction was lawful, discrimination was unlawful. The Court thereupon defined a discrimination as being a harmful distinction, as where a State alots less funds for a colored school than it alots for a white school; or where a railroad carrier provides poorer accommodations for its colored passengers than for its colored passengers in the equipments of public utilities are inferior for colored and superior for white. Such malpractices as these, the Court has held, are fit subjects for litigation by the one against whom prejudice is asserted. Such wrongs as these, the Court has inferred, are grounds for mandamuses and other appropriate writs which will remove the harmful distinctions as practiced today in many sections of the country. Indeed, there is not so much cause for gloom today over the Court's precedents in cases of color as there is because we seem not yet to have renched our attention to the show strive to bring up for litigation carefully prepared cases based upon the legal precedent which has been offended, rather upon the mere hue and cry that we are being discriminated against, without showing factual evidence of the commerce law is open for a multitude of cases which will easily show that inferior accommodations are frequently provided for colored passengers. The same conditions obtain in segregated schools and the like. These conditions are further grounded upon by the "Supreme court"; and the avenues of escape thus afforded, coupled with the rising prominence which the In such people is to have them regain self-confidence. There is something that they can excel in. This should be found. It may be a game of chess or cards; it may be in the arts, such as singing or music; it may be making a cake or some other household art; it may be some hobby. In some way the interlority complex must be changed to that of self-satisfaction. Some temperatures can reason themselves out of the "blues." They believe nothing is final. They pick up, pull again, and start over on new lines of endeavor and conquest. Others gain relief and self-confidence by talking things over with understanding friends. The most difficult and most serious cases of "blues" are the inherited anxious types, with severe depressions and a feeling of hopelessness. These are the morbid types, ar.1. If they are not treated properly and early will ultimately develop in permanent mental inferiority, dementia precox and criminality. This type requires the patience of Job to treat and to readjust. Such a case needs sympathy of the heart rather than the logic of the mind. They confiding friends, loyal relatives and a faith in some religion. Religious belief is needed more by such people than any others. A fast report to calm a hopeless spirit. Job said "though he lay me yet will I trust him." A belief in some religion does not prevent grief. But it prevents the believer from becoming melancholy. Discrimination I.

January Crisis to Expose Flood Terror The January Crisis, out shortly, is publishing the first instalment of an investigation of "The Flood, the Red Cross and the National Guard," made in the Mississippi River flood districts for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The investigation throws tight upon the neoponage system still prevalent in the delta regions, the Red Cross camps, with the co-operation of the National Guard troops, making themselves responsible for the delivery to plantation owners of "their" tenants and hands. It is made clear that this was not "official" Red Cross policy, but that, in effect, the work resulted in this result. It is also established that Negroes in the flood refuge camps were whipped by National Guardsm; that they were forced to labor without pay and were brutally mistreated while on the job. "The use of violence on the part of guardsmen toward Negro refugees was thoroughly established in the early days of the disaster," says The Crisis. "The work on the Dickshire levee was entirely on the behalf of Negro refugees, superintended by armed guardsm." It is also charged that soldiers helped themselves to food supplies intended for the flood sufferers. Her features of the January Crisis are: "The Purple Flower," first prize play for 1927, by Marita O. Boner; a group of poems by Jesse Fauset, J. E. McCall, Marjorie Marshall, Fenton Johnson and Unilean Taylor Dickinson, a show by showing Mme.

I have also been in several of the villages and parts of the countryside, with the result that, although I know also no-German, I have been able to gather an impression that is not altogether superficial. I was further fortunate enough to meet many persons who spoke either English or French. Indeed, I was struck by the large number of persons who spoke English more or less fluently. First among my impressions is that the Germans are, perhaps, the most informally friendly people I have met so far. I said "perhaps," for one must be careful with these superlatives, as new impressions drive out old ones. The English people have the reputation of being stiff; yet, in the country parts they are just as approachable as the Negroes the South or in the West indies. I discovered that it was very easy to strike up acquaintances in Germany. I travelled alone at first, but later met two students—white, and from America—and together we travelled. The rest of the trip was like a picnic for me. Not one of us understood German, but perhaps we would not have had as much fun if we did. We stopped all kinds of people, interrogating them for one thing or another. On the train trips between New York and Paris, man and our antics in general very often had the whole car in a roar of laughter. My two companions had notebooks and insisted on almost every good-looking girl they met on the cars, in the stations, or the restaurants writing a bit of sentiment in them. This was invariably written in German. Then came the fun of knowing just what had been written. The notebook would be passed around, being read every instance, a burst of laughter. I found the Germans, at least those with whom I came in contact, as ready to laugh as the proverbial Negro. One would not think they had just been through a great and destructive war, which they had lost and for which they were now being heavily taxed. I shall have more to say of this phase of German temperament later. Also very much struck by the modern way of doing things in comparison with that of every other European country in which I have been. Many times, in Ber- Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN These "Sweat You" Lovers! Dear Egypsy Ann; Although this is my first letter to you, I have been reading your column in The Amsterdam News for a long time and I have been greatly benefited by the advice you have given other girls who were in love and who had been mistreated by their lovers. I kept company with a young man for two years. The first year and four months he was nice and true, I thought. Later, I learned of another girl he was going with. We had a talk about it, and he promised me he would give her up. But he never did! In fact, he acted worse toward me. It that boy was hurt in the house. He would have this girl come to see him. He knew I would see her or hear that she was there. He did it to "sweat me," as he called it. I stood it for a while because I really loved this man, but finally we had an argument. During the time of our "outs," he wrote me one letter which contained only slurs. I answered it in the same way. Seven nights he called me, several times and asked to go to a show with him. I accepted. He was nice and mentioned nothing of the past arguments. But he told me he would call me the first of the next week. Do you think he means me any good or did he only come to find out something? Shall I give him another chance if he asks me to he his sweetheart again? Please advise. I wish you good luck. ANXIOUS. Dear Anxious; It's my opinion that he's really THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14, 1927 Bu J. A. ROGERS in particularly, I found myself thinking I was back in America on this account. The German railroads, for instance, are strikingly like the American ones with the same kind of German cars are very old. They cannot afford to get many new ones, because of the huge debt which must be paid. System and order, as we would say in America, escaped the German's middle name. I thought, also, as I wandered THE BROADWAY - J. A. Rogers - over Berlin seeing its magnificent monuments, of the important part this people had played in the development of art, literature, music, science, medicine. My mind ran on titanic minds like Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart, Mendelssohn; Kant, Goethe, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche; Helfe, Schiller, Les Fleurs de Lisbonne; Huske, Holzinger, Klinger. Durer; even of Frederick the Great, Blismarck, the man of "Blood and Iron," and Molike. I thought, too, of the example that modern Germany had set to the world in the systematic and orderly conduct of life in all its details; of past financial success, marks of which I saw on every hand; of the still greater promise for humanity held out by this remarkable people, now all cut down to myself; of the self-to myself: "Pity, oh, pity, that such a people should have been trapped by their leaders into such an act, of self-demolition." Then I thought again. Self-preservation, or, rather, that color consciousness forced into me by white America, was demanding: What would have happened to the Negro in America if Europe had not gone to war? He was rapidly being crowded to the wall by the incoming hordes of Europe; he was being pushed out by economic condition worse than slavery. Then, much as I like peace, kindness, gentleness; literature, music, art; as much as I detest suffering, cruelty, injustice; as much as I have been touched by some of the misery I have seen in Europe. I fervently hoped that the psychology of these white nations toward one another would never change; that Frenchmen will remain in children; that German men will remain in children; that jealousies, hatreds, aye, even the wars, will go on, for therein lies the salvation of the darker races. trying to do what he told you: "Sweet you." Looks like he's succeeding, doesn't it? Well, suppose you "sweat him" a bit? The trouble is, he's too sure of himself. Now you start to torment him. Next time he calls up or writes and wants to make an appointment, don't accept. Be very sorry, but you have an engagement. Go out with another boy and try to become interested in him. Above all, don't ask your friend to give up the other girl. That's the surest way of making him hold on to her. Don't mention her at all she speaks of her, and then kid him long. Tell him that she must be some kid to get such a friend. In fact, dear, you might even suggest that you will slide out of the picture as you don't want to stand in the way of his happiness. If he thinks you don't care whether you have him or not, he'll most likely sit up and take more notice of you. If I loved him and wanted him back again, and he asked me for my company, I suppose I'd accept. Nevertheless I'd take everything he said with a grain of salt and be bestowing by affection upon him. Luck to you. EGYPSY ANN. Your Horoscope By THEARCHER December 14 brings a year that is full of romance to the people of this date, and will help them through an otherwise adverse year. There is an inclination to thoughtless speech, to ill health, and to impatience. These vibrations will not cause much good to those who will not control them, as Saturn impels thoughtful and deliberate actions. Routine business and employment is best. The mere mention of Victor Hugo's name gives me a thrill, but when he speaks of a United States of Europe it chills me, as I know what it would mean. It would mean concentrated attention at the dawn of Sir John Hawkins, the darker races have been the pray of the white. As it is at present, the darker man is being taken in as some sort of assistant, in which position he is having an opportunity to learn, and by instructing him some day grow strong himself. The dissensions of these European nations, so far as the darker races are concerned, are merely a case of one poison curbing another. It is like the war which occurred between dangerous microbes, which were peace declared between them, would mean disaster to the body. Or, it is like a war between railroads or steamship companies, or any other kind of business, which means that the union against the consumer is an end, because it is, he is going to get something like fair play. Internationalism, or any other approach toward it, such as the League of Nations, is a menace to the darker man, even though there may be a few colored faces in evidence. in Africa, China, India, and elsewhere, there is a tendency to merge nationality to the detriment of the native. The German people seem singularly free from color prejudice. The Negroes in Berlin, who are mostly from the former African colonies, told me that there had been a change in this respect for many years. We had troops by the Allies and the presence of French Negro soldiers in the occupied district. This may be true, but I find it hard to believe it, because all with whom I came in contact were so spontaneously friendly. I also saw Negroes, very dark oaks, in places where usually doing things they would not be permitted to do in America. Yet it is these same Germans, or, for that matter, Europeans, who undergo such a chango when they come to America or any other part of the black man's home. Inipping their nationalism they plop racialism into their life, they simply pour from one vessel into another. Most of the slaughter in the Chicago riot was done by Irishmen, Poles, Germans, Austrians and other Europeans, who, had they remained at home, would have been very friendly towards Nostroes and, in some cases, even servile. Germany I regard as my intellectual motherland, for the French, English, Italian or Dutch I have nothing but the kundestling and, because I wish to retain them, because they will always remain as they are. And there is little fear of the contrary. The rancor between France and Germany, for instance, dates back to 72 B. C., when the Teutons, crossing the Rhine into Germany, did not change as long as history is taught. The German treatment of the French in the last war and in 1871 must have been in no small way inspired by the treatment of the Germans by the French when the latter ravaged Germany in 1869-98. The French in 1898-08. In 1906-08. Reprisal has been merely followed by reprisal, in 1918 it was again Franc.'s turn to occupy Berlin. As a European city, Berlin is in since new business and employment will hardly repay the time and money expended. December 15 is a birthyear that requires much careful thought and action to get any benefit from the year. These folks who have old jobs and business should try to hold on tight, and not try anything new. December 15 begins a successful birthyear, although there will be some inclination to nervousness and illness. These people should not allow themselves to become too active mentally, as this condition will cause much illness and worry. December 17 brings a birthday that will lead to the spiritual development of these people. There will be an inclination to sudden accidents, and the position of Jupiter indicates some loss, either physically or through the home circle. The health should be well guarded, and these people should be careful to give no offense to others. Many of these people will experience some abrupt and adverse changes in business and employment. December 18 begins a very successful birthday, especially for those who work or deal with oils, cosmetics, or other products. It is an indication of much pleasure in social contacts. December 19 offers some very unusual experiences, with the opposite sex for those children, and the birthyear will probably be very intriguing. There is not much promise financially, and those who have jobs and business establishments should hold tight until things begin to improve. Those who have been rather unhappy conjugally will experience more difficulties. December 20 is a date that promises a very good birthday, especially for personal development, and for those affairs that do not concern partnerships. Writer Sees Very Few Reminders of the World War a class by itself. It is laid out in squares like American cities, and, as I said, now and then one unconsciously feels himself back in America, a fact heightened by the familiarity of the names on the signs. The beer signs read the same as they did in Chicago back in the year 1918 B. V. D. (before the Volstead Disaster). Most of the old town, I understand, was taken down and rebuilt in the 80's. Frederick chastasse, for instance, might well be a street in Miami, but for the reference of language, Am Krog, the street, narrow and winding, gives one an idea of what the old town was like. Berlin, however, is laid out on more stately lines than any American city I know. With its buildings of almost uniform height, about four stories, and its sober architecture, Berlin is its air of almost military correctness—handsome but not beautiful. As to Germany's most famous thoroughfare, Unter den Linden, I was much disappointed, as I had thought to see another Champs Elysees, Paris is much more beautiful than Berlin, though the inner has, on the whole, finer monuments—perhaps the finest in Europe. The Unter den Linden is about 200 feet wide and two-thirds of a mile long. Through its center runs a promenade bordered on both sides by linden trees, while on both sides is a promenade with shops of the elite, shipping and tourist offices, etc. At the west end is the Brandenburg Tor, or gate, which is the entrance to the city from the Tiergarten. It is one of the most striking monuments in Europe and was built on the model of the Propylaea in Athens. It has five passages, separated by magnificent columns, and surrounded by a victory history. Two of the passages are for pedestrians and two for vehicles. As to the central one, I was told by an American woman that prior to the war no one but royalty was permitted to pass underneath. When I inquired of a German, however, he told me that it was not true. I had heard of a similar tale of the Marble Arch in London, which was said to be reserved for royal carriages, but many pedestrians going through. This is but a sample of the conflicting information one gets of these places. Not far from the Brandenburg Gate, and branching off from the Unter den Linden, is Wilhelmstrasse (William street), the center of German government and diplomacy. Many of the embassies, well as the palace of President Hindenburg, the palace of Prince Leopold, the Treasury, and other public buildings are located here. At the east end of the Unter den Linden is the monument to Frederick the Great, an impressive work. The King is on horseback, while the pedestal is ornamented from his life. Nearby is the palace of Kalser William I. Berlin is the city of palaces, the last Kalser had six sons and one daughter and each had a palace. In my next article I shall continue a description of the city and tell something of the life of the German people. These people can mold the birthday as they will The coming important events will indicate the trend of the people for public improvement in housing and rentals. Our people could force an appreciable decrease in rentals if they would unite and call a public strike. The process of call a public strike would depend upon the absolute unity of our people. There could not be a community dispossession as is possibly individually, and an intense, massed opposition would appreciably reduce rents in this district. When our people learn the true meaning of "UNITY" the battle is already won. The idea is worth considerable thought. Homely Philosophy BY GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Home Manners HAVE you atrocious home manners? Do you save up all your spills and compliments for company consumption? Those who love you best are the home folks. And yet you feel a kind of liberty and freedom perhaps to exercise your evil spirit there. Hard looks, fault finding, crossness and general crankiness mark many a one in the dear little sanctuary of the home. We should be more mindful of our manners there than elsewhere, for who can be more important than those who love you best? ILLUSTRATOR'S BOOK WORK COMMENDED Book Illustrations of Aaron Douglas, young artist on the Crisis staff, have been included in the second annual exhibition of American Book Illustration, which is being held in New York under the anuples of the American Institute of Graphic Arts. A Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD IF ONE is inspired to be courteous to friends and relatives around the holidays, one usually displays it by the presentation of some gift. It may be something selected with care, bearing the recipient in mind at the time of the purchase; it may be some trivial novelty that will act as a duty performed, or it may be a costly creation far superior to the recipient's expectation or need. "The gift, without the giver," is not only "bare," but a waste of money and effort. It does not always yield pleasure. A half-hearted appreciation on the part of the recipient will be the result. The donor can always see to it that the gift is well selected, appropriate, and not unduly elaborate. It should express his individuality. The recipient should not make too oblique haste to return the compulsion, less he or she seem unwilling to rest under obligation. It is polite to allow a generous friend some space of time in which to enjoy the "blessedness of giving." There is an undercurrent feeling of reciprocity abiding in the most Gifts between women friends or from men to men are not limited to any particular type or value; gifts exchanged by men and women are. Old customs forbid a man giving a woman personal gifts unless he is engaged to her, and even then he should not give her wearing apparel. Jewelry and furs are strictly debarred. This is a quaint custom, so closely adhered to through the generations, that it is observed by some even in our generous period. A lack of its presence would be avoided upon with distaffion, almost with disfaffion in your grandfather's time. Today failure to obey the rule is considered bad tastes, but that is about as far as the adverse criticism is likely to go. The type of gifts depends much upon the occasion, including weddings, showers, debutante parties, christenings, trips by steamer, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. A Christmas present is usually the easiest to select and usually carries less significance. Giving and receiving, at that time, seems just a part of the spirit of the season. When a gift is accepted, the re- Can the Demon Become a Thesis: Can a donkey which Can the Democratic Donkey Become an Eagle? Thesis: Can a donkey become a bird? If so which bird? By WILLIAM PICKENS A WOMEN'S organization Philadelphia passed a re of the donkey as the ca "For," said one of the ladies, among political parties!" That the eagle be substituted a donkey be an eagle?— A WOMEN'S organization of the Democratic Party in Philadelphia passed a resolution to discontinue the use of the donkey as the cartoonist's symbol of the party. "For," said one of the ladies, "our party is not the jackass among political parties!" The resolution went on to ask that the eagle be substituted for the donkey. Well, how can a donkey become an eagle?—that is the question. The donkey, we believe, is everywhere as respectable as the elephant, and in this country far more useful. At any rate we object to any attempt to impose upon the race of eagles by metamorphosing the Democratic Donkey into that bird. If this particular donkey just must become a bird, and must still represent the elements of disfranchisement and destruction, then let us select more appropriate fowl; for example, the Carrion Crow, vernacularly known through the south as the Buzzard. Then there is that famous nearshore navigate, or aviate, better in the dark than in the daylight. What more fitting symbol for the party which originated "night-riders" and sheet-wearing Ku Klux? Or if the Democratic ladies are not completely and unchangeably sold to the bird idea, they might consider certain four-footed beasts whose instincts and habits can very well symbolize their party. For instance, there is the Jackal, the coward who only hunts in the wild, and the coyote, the animals. Then there is the Coyote, always lean and hungry-looking, but ever able to give a real dog a run for his life. Or inasmuch as the "rotten borough" conditions and the sham democracy of that party in the South fairly "smells to heaven," why not select as the party symbol that other four-footed creature, who somewhat resembles a cat with a long bushy tail, wearing a coat of beautiful black-and-white clothing, an odor that almost insensible the corruptions of the Democratic machine of Arkansas or Mississippi? In hifalutin nomenclature this beautiful "kitty" of the malodorous perineal glands is known as Mephitis mephitis. What a fine name that would make for the party of James K. Vardaman and Cole L. Blesse! Or why not select the Locust? The locust would be a most fitting symbol of a Democratic administration; for the plagues of locusts, like the plagues of Darius, rise only once in long intervals of years, are very destructive when they do arrive. They spare neither the grass nor the leafage of life. But if the Democratic ladies will not be satisfied with anything less than a bird, and if the birds and near-birds which we have already catalogued do not suit them, why not take the Crow? You see, the Democratic party is originally and pre-eminently the nation. The cateiston would then need to write the word "Jim" under the picture of the crow, and the thing would be plain to ever obligent should not make too obvious haste to return the compliment, lest he or she seem unwilling to rest under obligation. It is polite to allow a generous friend some space of time in which to enjoy the "blessedness of giving." There is an undercurrent feeling of respect for the degree and best of us. We give acceptance, and the ratio alone accentuates the degree of our appreciation for one another. The gift was designed as a token of appreciation, respect or obligation, and when it is commercialized it loses the essence of its mission. Independence is an excellent thing, but it becomes peculiarly rude when it takes the form of refusing all grilling favors. It is the greatest gift, and as kindness, to allow someone to do us a favor. Enemies have been transformed into friends by this tactful process. When some unsophisticated person innocently offers a gift that strict conventionality would forbid one to accept, it is sometimes better to suspend the rules and accept the token than by refusal to hurt the feelings of that person. Perhaps the giver has offended the letter, but not the spirit, of the law. Now, as the approaching holidays arount us, we expect to be both givers and receivers. It is not the price of the ware that satisfies the most—it's who gives it and who receives it, and why it was given. cratic Donkey in Eagle? become a bird? If so, bird? of the Democratic party in solution to discontinue the use artonist's symbol of the party. "our party is not the jackass we resolution went on to ask or the donkey. Well, how can that is the question. the most ignorant son of Democracy. there are also other animals whose symbols could very well symbolize the Democratic party, as she is known. There is the Tiger, the "bully of the jungle," who would pass very well for a Texas Democrat; the Hyena, the scavenger of the plains, an Oklahoma Democrat; the shadowman Ground Hog, the original "fundamentalist." Judging from the speeches on the resolution, it seems the Democratic ladies of Philadelphia do not regard the donkey as a very respectable symbol. They wish put the party in a better light on the pictured page. That, of course, would change nothing "behind the scenes," for if we take the ass out of the pictures, how in the world will that ever take the asininity out of the party? Let them take any other animal. But why pick on the Eagle, the royal bird who is not afraid of the light of the sun, while the Democratic party is afraid even of the light of publicity? The Eagle is still monarch of the upper air, Democrat knows nothing of the higher atmosphere and still rule in the slums and "seesawy" of inhuman greed and selfishness. The Eagle is still emperor of the ethers and his wings are a more reliable trans-Atlantic motor-power than the wings of Lindbergh's plane. American Democracy must yet have a long, long transmigratory journey of its soul before it reaches the plane of the Eagle. Can You Tell? 1. Who is George E. Haynes? 2.

ALWAYS AT THEIR BEST ALAGA SYRUP The number of our readers learning of the "JOY" that comes from using AlAGA Cane Syrup with Hot Cakes and Hot Biscuites is ever increasing. They have also learned that Candy, Pumpkin Pies, Cookies, etc., "hit for a King," are made with AlAGA Cane Syrup. Regular shipments are now being received, right from where the Sugar Cane grows, to most the rapidly increasing demand. ALAGA Cane Syrup is the centric juice of the Sugar Cane plant bottled down to syrup, with nothing added, except a very small portion of corn syrup to prevent sugaring in the can. It is higher than ordinary syrup, but not half as expensive as maple syrup; whereas it is among the cholest of table and fancy baking syrups. Nevertheless it has a flavor all its own.

Bethune-Cookman Trustees Hold Meeting A regional trustees' meeting of the Bethune-Cookman Institute, of which Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune is president, was held recently at the home of Mrs. Pierpont Luquer, Theodore Roosevelt, John B. Nall, Charles S. Johnson of New York City, and Attorney G. Edward Dickerson, the last three new trustees of the institution, were in conference on plans for the new programs of the school, which include the building of a hospital, at which nurses will be trained, and the raising of an endowment. The Bethune-Cookman Institute is the largest educational institution in America founded by and presided over by a Negro woman. J. M. Washington Re-elected Exalted Ruler of Brooklyn Lodge No. 32, I. B. P. O. E. of W. With the I.B.P.O.E. of W. By Charles Magill BROOKLYN LODGE. An easy winner, as was predicted in this column, Joseph M. Washington, exalted ruler of Brooklyn Lodge, was returned again at the highest wage at the annual December election field at the home of the lodge, 1068 Fulton street, Brooklyn, last Monday night. The expected opposition to Washington faded away at the last moment and was elected unanimously. Peter Baker re-elected, after a struggle leading knight. Brown as selves to to the life and their Henry JOHNSOFULL this colour the found son Lodge rumple With the exception of James Burton, who was elected esquire over the previous holder of that office for several terms, proclaimed all of the same officers were re-elected. One of the surprises of the evening came in the elections to the trustee board, another prediction of this column when he was elected in 1819, Warren Dillard and Benjamin F. Butler, triumphed. The failure of Thomas L. Higgins to be elected to the board of trustees is believed by Brooklyn College of a once perfect machine the end of a once perfect machine that formerly functioned under the leadership of that old Elk veteran, William H. McFarland and H. McFarland affected, the mantle of his leadership was taken over by Higgins. Slowly the old machine, minus the generalship of the old war horse, McFarland and H. McFarland Monday the end was conceded to have been reached. A new and formidable machine in Brooklyn Lodge is now in the making. The district deputy attorney, Peterson, conducted the election. Carrying everything before them, the new machine of Manhattan Lodge that has been slowly developing around Andrew T. Mitchell functioned so perfectly at the semi-annual election held in night that he who was reprimanded for the third time exited candidates, were easily elected to office. An expected fight against Mitchell's place drifted away when Dudley L Hunt, strongest candidate for exalted ruler, declined in favor, presently moved to Mitchell's election unanimous. The popularity of Mitchell was at tested by the wild acclaim his election brought from the members of the lodge gathered there that night. Others elected were: Samuel J. Wilson, leading knight; John A. Samuel Grant, lecturing knight; George S. Johnson, financial secretary; Harry M. Williams, recording secretary; Joshua C. Williams, assistant secretary; James A. Mitchell, inner guard, and Jack Blanch, tiller. The following were elected to the trustee board: Spaulding, McFarland, Udsey, and James A. Mitchell, elected included Charles Joell, state deputy; Robert Owens and Arthur Hummel. The district deputy for the first district, Walter A. Peterson, elected included election. He was assisted by the district deputy for the second district. David W. McDaniels, the state grand organizer, Samuel the grand organizer Sheppard and Pas Exnested Rulers George Zeno and William Ruten of Brooklyn Lodge Deserted by some of the men whom he had aided to positions of influence, his much vaunted machine unexpectedly, yet totally, in collapse. Thomas H. Brown, for times elected ex-soldier Imperial Lodge down to defeat the election hold in Imperial Home last Tuesday night. With Brown in defeat went Charles M. Hanson, just recently elected a grand auditor, and for several terms elected the secretary of Imperial Lodge. All along with Hanson all of the Brown faction who had held office. This column took cognizance of the splendid campaign being waged by Charles T. Nurse, for many years the esquire of Imperial Cessation, and was waged ruler that Tuesday night's election, and predicted that Brown was in for a stiff fight. Nevertheless, Brown and Hansen went into the election confident of success, unaware the support he gained in and solemnly expected was to be thrown elsewhere. The campaign against Brown was conducted by Arthur Brisbane, one of Harlem's young business men, and a man in which he conducted that campaign was seen in the overwhelming election of Nurse, who swept into office with him the following: Henry Duke, elected over two years ago, of the largest lodge in the jurisdiction of the I. B. P. O. E. of W.: Frank Prayher, leading knight: Herbert. Lowe, lecturing knight: Lewis Williams, loyal knight: black Hillback, and Garland guard: Henry S. Warner was the only officer re-elected, Warner retaining the office of treasurer. He was not opposed by the Nurse faction. David W. McDaniel presided over the election of one of the most hectic the veteran Eik has ever conducted. Showing his sportsman ship, Brown congratulated Nurse, and later both BROOKLYN LODGE.

A. B. Chirchlow, one of the founders of Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge and its first exalted ruler, triumphed over what appeared at first as formidable opposition, and was again elected to be exalted ruler of the Bronx lodge that has the distinction of being one of the fastest growing lodges in the jurisdiction of Elksdon. In the election of Henry Johnson, held Monday night, December 5. The fight in this lodge was centered mainly on the exalted ruler and the secretary and treasurer, and the clubs. Their influence, together with that of Chricklow's, was sufficient, however, to carry them all back into once and Elocko was again elected secretary of the clubs triumphed for treasury. Others elected, all of the Chirchlow machine, were: Leslie Jones, leading knight; A. Osborne, lecturing knight; G. Little, loyal knight; F. Cruse, esquire; A. Brereton, inner guard, and C. Cummings, titer. The three trustees elected were A. McIntosh, J. Luntkink, H. George, physicians selected were Irs. W. G. Price, Omar Price, Hodgson Sealy. Exalted Ruler Chirclow said that Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge now would center on getting his proposition that has lagged somewhat until the election. The members of this lodge are planning an enjoyable evening at the next regular meeting. Monday evening, December 19. STEELE ADDRESSES LIGHTHOUSE LODGE J. Dalmus Steele was the principal speaker at the memorial services of Lighthouse Lodge No. 9 of Atlantic City, held Sunday evening in the auditorium of the New Jersey Avenue School.

Sally Broy, "spiritual healer and life reader," 330 A Monroe street; Brooklyn, was found guilty of practicing medicine without a license when arranged in Special Sessions, Part 1, last Tuesday. She will be returned for sentence Dec. 23, at which time, according to her attorneys, she may receive either a fine or suspended sentence. Madame Broy was defended by Attorneys George O. Adams of Chicago and George E. Hall, 200 West 135th street. Ball was continued and Madame Broy was released pending sentence. Madame Broy was arrested Nov. 20, 1926, by a Brooklyn policewoman and charged with fortune telling and practicing medicine without a license. In the Magistrate's Court she was dismissed on the first charge and held on the second, upon which she was convicted last week. The policewoman testified that Madame Broy told her she was suffering from a tumor and sold her some pills for $1. Madame Broy had fifteen witnesses to testify to her remarkable powers of healing, some whom said she had cured them of tuberculosis and paralysis and other serious diseases and ailments. As Madame Broy consulted only one patient at a time in her chamber, the policewoman could furnish no witnesses concerning what went on between her and the "healer."

Workhouse for Hebrew Scholar Lobogola Found Guilty of Impairing Morals of Minor By his own claim a descendant of the lost Hebrew tribes of Ephriam, a Hebrew scholar and Roman Catholic Paul Lobogola, 28, 25 West 115th street, although he made an impassioned plea for mercy, was sentenced to thirty days in the Workhouse by justices in Special Sessions Court, Friday. He delivered his plea in a rich Scotch brogue, for he had been raised by a Scotch Presbyterian family in Glasgow. He was charged with impairing the morals of a minor in that he seized a 13-year-old boy and carried him into the hallway of 2212 Eighth avenue on Nov. 13. He was convicted and sentenced by Justices Herbert, Nolan and Sahon. The professor was immaculately attired and wore spats. When the judges' dictum was pronounced, he raised his voice with a distinct scotch burr and pleaded: "Your worship, I have seen the error of my ways and already have been sufficiently punished. The occasion for that evil was drink. I will never take another drink until I get back to Bonny. I beg of you have money and afford me the opportunity to make amends." His plea was denied and he was led away. Lobogun said he was born among the Dahomeyans in the African Soudan, and was thrilled during his childhood by stories his tribesmen told of the outside world. When only seven years old he trekked 60 miles to the sea, he said, but by his curiosity he went twenty miles he stewed away on a vessel bound for Glasgow, Scotland, but they were discovered. The others jumped overboard and drowned, he said, but he was set adrift. He finally arrived at Glasgow and was befriended and adopted by a family by the name of Nichols, who raised him a Presbyterian girl and gave him money to visit his native Soudan and he returned to Scotland. The elder Nichols died, leaving Lobogabo sufficient money to tour Asia and Europe and acquire more learning. At Cairo he taught English in the Coptic schools and then went to Palestine, where he received his interest in Judaism and taught there in the Jerusalem schools. His work attracted the interest of the Franciscan friars, he said, and they converted him into a Roman Catholic. Lobogabo came to America in 1926 to earn money. Despite his ability, Jordan University offered a job as a porter and laboratory assistant, he said, but he managed to increase his income by lecturing on Negro Judaism in the African Soudan, and by translating Hebrew into English. Once out of prison, the professor said, he will be Scotland bound. Examination FREE No Obligation Gat-Norcain CAREFUL EXTRACT Kenerly & Peters For Private 41 WEST 144th S L. E.

Wednesday, December 14, 1927 A Good Move THE AMSTERDAM NEWS, week after week, has called upon the Negroes to realize their political and economic power. At last the plea has been heard. The Negro League or Equal Political and Civic Rights has been formed, with the object of inducing white merchants in Harlem to employ Negro clerks, salesmen and bookkeepers in their stores. THIS is one of the best moves ever made in Harlem. For years the people of this community have deplored he sight of so much money flowing into the pockets of white merchants with no return to the Negro; but they have not known what to do about it. It is easy for outsiders to criticize the Harlem Negro for not developing merchants of his own; but they do not know what he is up against. A NEGRO BUTCHER or fruit dealer, for instance, has to compete not only with the white retailer, but with the wholesalers behind that retailer, the powerful Jewish, Greek and Italian syndicates. Unable to get his goods at the same wholesale price as his competitors, he is forced either to charge higher prices for the same quality of goods or to accept inferior goods. In either case, heoses business and is gradually forced out. This will probably continue until the Negro develops a financial system with banking support strong enough to command equal accommodations from wholesalers. IN THE MEANTIME, the Negroes of harlem are not powerless. They have enormous political and economic strength, if they will only get together and use it. Why is it that in Chicago the United Cigar Stores and the Western Union Telegraph Company employ Negro clerks and messengers in their stores and offices in the Negro sections of the city? It is because the Chicago Negro is awake to his power and uses it. THE HARLEM NEGRO needs to wake up to one simple economic fact. No matter how strong the white merchant's banking support may be, no matter how formidable the wholesale organizations and syndicates behind him, his success depends upon the favor of the buying public. In Harlem that buying public is the Negro. If the Negroes want a merchant to fail, because he does not employ Negro clerks they need only keep away from his store. From the man or woman with five dollars to spend for a hat, to the child with five cents for candy, every Negro in this community has buying power. The Negroes have it in their hands to make or break any white merchant in Harlem. urn Words to Deeds! PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S message Congress contains the usual commendation of Negro progress and the EDITORIAL PAGE usual condemnation of lynching. The President says: "Every principle of order and law and liberty is opposed to this crime. The Congress should enact any legislation it can under the Constitution to provide for its elimination." WHEN the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill came before Congress, Southerners said it was unconstitutional because it interfered with the police powers of the states. The President holds, however, that such legislation is not opposed to the Constitution and that it should be enacted. The Constitution, moreover, is directly opposed to lynching; it says that no citizen shall be deprived of his life without due process of law. Southern lynchers, therefore, are violating the Constitution, and any legislation to suppress such violation cannot be unconstitutional. WHEN A STATE cannot or will not deal effectively with a criminal condition within its own borders the Federal government has the right to take a hand. The inability of individual states to deal with railroad abuses caused the Federal government to create the Interstate Commerce Commission. Though several states are opposed to prohibition, no one has yet contended that the Volstead Act and its parent amendment are unconstitutional. If the Federal government can forbid a man to buy a drink it can forbid a mob to take a life. THE PRESIDENT has spoken before against lynching. It is to be hoped that this time he will turn his words into deeds. Lynching is admittedly the blackest disgrace of American civilization; other nations point to it whenever America puts herself forward as the guardian of democracy and the champion of oppressed peoples. A President who has the courage to throw the full power and prestige of his office against lynching can deal it a death blow. Only Cross-Eyed MRS. MARGARET LILLIENDAHL and Willis H. Beach were found guilty of murdering Mrs. Lilliendahl's aged husband. Though all the evidence pointed to premeditation, though the presiding judge admits that the crime was "legally and factually" murder in the first degree, murder was not even mentioned in the verdict. The couple were convicted of voluntary manslaughter, for which they could not be sentenced to more than ten years in prison. ON THE SAME DAY, in the same court house, before the same judge, a poor colored man named Obie Johnson was convicted of second degree murder for killing his wife. Mercy was asked for Johnson on the ground that the character of the woman he killed was conducive to murder, and that he killed her in a fit of passion, without forethought; but mercy was denied him. He was sentenced to thirty years at hard labor. "JERSEY JUSTICE" used to be a famous phrase throughout the country, as famous as "Jersey lightning." Both were supposed to have the same kick. It seems, however, that Jersey justice has a kick for some and a mere pat for others. An ignorant man kills in a fit of rage and is considered lucky to get off with thirty years in jail. A white couple plan and accomplish the murder of an old man and are given the lightest verdict possible under the law. They get the sentence that should have Political Leadership By KELLY MILLER these small favors. There is need of a receiver and distributor of patronage. It is objected that such a receiver and distributor is apt to be selfish, no more alienating selfishness from the politics than you can divest the onion of its scent. But it is better to have one selfish leader than ten. It takes less to satisfy his selfish demands, and there will be more left to be distributed among the general mass. Napoleon Bonaparte used to say that one bad ruler was better than two good ones. Instead of allowing the white race to pick out our political boss, it might be well if we should cursives make the nomination. But what has the M. B. Perry Howard banquet to do with all of this? It at least pointed out the necessity. The keynote was unity. It was essentially a political banquet, such as Washington was accustomed to in the pre-Wilson days when Booker T. Washington served as our political referee. But representatives from all spheres of Negro life and activities were there. The four Negro offices of national offices tree formed the center of the group. The office holding fringe came next, surrounded by a penumbra of "would-be" office holders There sat Walter Cohen, Recorder Arthur Froe, Judge Cobb, Emmett Scott, William Pickens, Lady Terrell, Roscoe Simmons, foreign statesmen, Judge Henry of Philadelphia, Mitchell of West Virginia, Mr. Booze of Mound Bayon, members of the press; J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks; Nannie Burroughs, dynamo of feminine energy; Garnet C. Wilkinson, Dr. M. O. Dumas; Mr. Blake, who spoke for the Masons and Jernigan for the Equal Rights League and Race Congress, Neval H. Thomas, and others. The genius and gentility of the host enlivened the whole session, Perry Howard was both host and toastmaster. Every guest was called to speak. I had never witnessed it in this wise before. Perry did half of the talking, and candor compels me to say, the more felicitous half. He told us been given Johnson and he gets the sentence that they deserved. Justice is blind, the poets say.

If there is anything that ought to be one hundred per cent Caucasian it is the song "Casey PERRY W. HOWARD, of the Department of Justice, gave a complimentary banquet to visiting statesmen and local politicians of the city of Washington on December 6. The occasion synchronized with the meeting of the National Republican Committees, of which Mr. Howard is a member. There are three other Negro members of this August body—Ben Davis of Georgia, Mrs. Booze of Mississippi and Mrs. Williams of Georgia, the latter two being the female political companions of the former. This quartet represents the only Negroes who are effectively in national politics. They are trustees of the Republican party and directors of the greatest political organization on earth. The Northern Negro can function only in local and state politics. He controls no important political unit. He has the right to vote, but scarcely the privilege of saying for whom he shall vote. On the other hand, the Southern Negro politician is long on nomination, but short on voting. We have seen the Southern delegates under Negro dictation determining the national choice at Chicago in 1912. Lincoln Johnson turned the balance from Roosevelt to Taft and thus effected the defeat of the Republican party for the coming eight years. So great was his party fealty and orthodoxy. The Negro needs political leadership centered in one man. Booker T. Washington incurred much criticism when he accepted to have this role thrust upon him. But experience proves that under his dictatorship the race gained tremendously in prestige and place. Since he dropped out there has been only retrogression. In the mind of the ruling powers, the Negro represents a political and social unity, and is dealt with as such. The policy of disintegrating political leadership and distributing it among the states has proved to be suicidal. It gives the white politician the coveted opportunity to play off one Negro aspirant against the other. Every Senator with a heavy Negro constituency has a candidate for Recorder of Deeds or Minister to Liberia, but I imagine when they meet behind closed doors they indulge in hilarious laughter at the gullibility of their black candidates. The administration, after the psychology of the white mind, will withhold Negro man at the time, unless he be for the pure devilry of making the one offset the other. The Negro spokesman, who could represent with common consent the interests of the whole group, would be thrice as persuasive as sundry petty politicians fritting away their influence in wasteful friction. The Negro is not likely to receive very much by way of recognition in patronage and legislation because the Negro race should be frugal in the use of . ____ ines," the epic of the American railroad.

Sir: I cannot too highly compliment you on your two portals on Marcus Garvey, especially the one over date of November 30. I is no exaggeration to say that they take a place among the few impartial articles which have been written concerning the work of Marcus Garvey. The cause of Garvey will always remain the face of Negro peoples and millions born, and men will continue to rally to the organization which responds to the heart-best of black men and when the world over. Wishing you and your continued success for 1928. Very truly yours, SAMUEL C. CLARKE. Washington avenue, Brooklyn, New York. December 12, 1927.

LETTERS that he had invited his friends to the festive board for the pure zest of a social good time, without any ulterior political motive. Of course, the guests must believe their host. We were almost constrained to ejaculate: "Behold a politician in whom there is no gag." It was indeed a get-together meeting. Our shallow divisions of feelings and sensuality personal animosities were, for the occasion at least, laid aside. A flashlight photograph was taken. The host facetiously remarked that we were all together, at least in the picture. Perry Howard came to Washington involved in as many political emblems as any office holder in the country, and planned them all away. All were united in the feeling that—"He is a jolly good fellow." I sat through it all with keen observation and deep reflection. What does it all mean? Is this the political leadership of the race? Whither is it leading? Can we look to this group for the political salvation of the race? Do they exhibit the underlying grasp upon the basic principles of race statesmanship and race patriotism? Have they the courage and unselfishness to lead this people through the wilderness to the promised land? Will there emerge from this group the unified spirit and the political referee? If so, who shall it be? Through the car of imagination, I heard the unuttered query of, more than one anxious aspirant, "Lord, is it it!" The host was generous enough to reserve me for the very last word. I tried to leave a good taste in the mouth by urging all to uphold and defend the eighteenth amendment (which was not violated during the evening), with whose fate the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were indisolubly bound. Politically, the Negro must go dry or "so die." Thus ended a significant evening in the political life of Arto-America. SK NOMINATIONS FOR WALKER MEDAN Nominations are now open for the Madam C. J.

The new book, entitled "Recreation and Amusement Among Negroes in Washington, is the first of a series of studies on the body of blacks are being made by Howard University through its Department of Sociology. Marcus Garvey BOOK REVIEW An Iliad for Young Negroes FOR FREEDOM, by Arthur Huff Fauset. Published by Franklin Publishing and Supply Company, Philadelphia. "FREDERICK DOUGLASS? Who is he?" asked the twenty-year-old daughter of a prominent Negro physician of this city. She was a grown woman, a high school graduate. She could speak French and tell you about Caesar, Cicero, Napoleon, Washington and Shakespeare; yet the name of Douglass, which should be a household word among Negroes, was strange to her. And here is no isolated case. Negro children all too often are brought up in ignorance of the lives and works of great Negroes. Many of them accept the Caucasian taunt that the Negro has never achieved anything. And the schools don't teach them better! Library Notes An exhibit of portraits in oil by D.

Know New York State Fort Ontario, at Oswego, New York, is the oldest fort in North America which is still garrisoned. It was built in 1724. There has recently been completed in the Port of New York a cotton storage plant with a capacity of 275,000 bales of cotton. Eighteen lighters can unload their cotton at one time. It is estimated that strikes, labor disputes and similar disturbances cost the State of New York 7,529,969 working days a year. The first electric central station in the world was started in New York City in 1882 and the second manufactured gas plant in the country was established there in 1823. The Empire State leads all others in the use of these two services. One hundred thousand deer-hunting Heceses were issued in New York State this year. During the season just ended 28 hunters were killed, half of them by accidently shooting themselves, and 71 were injured. Only one guide was shot for a deer by his own party. The -Metropolitan district produces more than six billion dollars worth of manufactured goods a year and now contains 30,000 manufacturing plants. No industrial district in the world can equal these totals. The Catskill and Adrondack mountains in New York State together have 123 peaks 3,000 or more feet high. Brown-Mundy Recital Miss Minute Brown, soprano, and Mrs. Nellie Moore Mundy, pianist, gave an evening of Spirituals at Union Congregational Church, Richmond Hill, L. L., last Thursday evening. Mrs. Jessie Zackery appeared in joint recital with Clarence Cameron on White in Washington, D. C., at Armstrong High School last Thursday. Armstrong was accompanist for Jessie Lindsey was invited to play for the student body at Howard University, Washington, D. C., last Friday morning. * The geography textbooks used in the schools of New York City tell something of the history of each country described. If it is Canada, they speak of Wolfe and Montcalm; if Mexico, they name Cortez, Montezuma and Juarez; if Peru, they mention Pizarro and the Incas. But in the chapter on Mexico, they mention Gomez and Maceo; and worst of all, they discuss HaliT without a single word about Toussaint L'Ouverture. Where is the Negro child to learn that men of his blood have done great things? It is in such books as "For Freedom," by Arthur Huff Faust. This book ought to be in every Negro family, especially where there are children. Indeed, it is written especially for children, in a clear, simple style. It tells the life of Elias Delacorte, from the Revolutionary War to the present day. It begins with Phillis Wheatley and Crispus Attucks and treats of Peter Salem, Salem Poor, Benjamin Bainkeer, Sojourner Truth, Hiram Revels, Blanche K. Bruce, Freddick Douglass, Booker T. W., Washington, George W. Carver, Paul Laurence Dunbar and W. E. B. DuBois. It dwells upon Negroes in the arts, James Weldon and Rosamond Tanner, Roland Hayes, Paul Roberts, Glipin, Harry T. Burleigh, Mata Warrick, Countee Cullen, Langton Hughes, Jessie Faust, Walter White, Alain Locko and others. The author has omitted some names that should have been entered, such as Harriet Tubman, Fannie Jackson Coppin, John Mercer Langston, T. Thomas Fortune, Col. Charles Young, Philip A. Payton and Wright Cuney, but there can be no quarrel with the names he has entered. The young Negro who masters the contents of this book will have enough medicine to expel his inferiority complex.

THE POETS' CORNER Poems submitted for publication in 'The Poet's Corner' will not be returned unless accompanied with a self-dressed and stamped envelope. It ain't the gift a feller gits; It ain't the shape ner the size That sets the heart to beatin' an Puts sunshine in the eyes. It ain't the value of the thing— Ner how it's wrapped ner tied; It's something else aside from this That makes you glad inside. It's known'n that it repersents A love both deep and true; That someone carries in the heart An' wants to slip to you. It's known'n that they love you an They tell you in this way; Just sort of actin' out the things They really long to say. So, it ain't the gift a feller gits, Ner how it's wrapped ner tied; It's known'n that the folks love you— That makes you glad inside. —HENRY ANDREWS
