LOVER'S ATTENTIONS WANING, WOMAN "BORROWS" BABY
REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections
NOTABLE SPEECH MADE BY J. FINLEY WILSON
"DISASTER FOLLOWS OPPRESSION," HE TELLS AUDIENCE
Replacing Congressman L. C. Dyer, father of the Anti-Lynching Bill, who sent his accepted regrets by telegram, as the principal speaker, J. Finley Wilson, the "Little Napoleon" of the Elks, electrified the audience at Salem M. E. Church Sunday afternoon in a stirring, passionate, almost fierce plea for unified action against Lynching, "the damnable curse of America!"
The meeting was under the auspices of the Women's Stop Lynching League, under the direction of Mrs. Eleonora Johnson. Mrs. Bessye J. Beardon of The Chicago Defender presided. Prominently displayed on the rostrum was a Sequil-Centennial placard reading "150 Years of American Independence—and Lynching!"
Mr. Wilson briefly reviewed the entire history of the world and pointed out that kingdoms, nations or any group of people who oppressed a downtrodden class inevitably met with disaster, ruin or extinction.
He reviewed and vividly described the East St. Louis race riot in which he said he saw Negro men and women shot in the back and children caught by the feet and their brains beaten out against telegraph poles. This was the time when Congressman Dyer came to the fore, he said, and opened his vigorous war in Congress against Lynching. He described Christ's crucifixion as history's first great lynching bee.
Mrs. Caution Hurt By Automobile
Superintendent of Girls' Home Sustains Painful Injuries
A second or two after she had alighted from a Fifth avenue bus at 150th street and Seventh avenue, Mrs. Estelle Caution, superintendent of the Katy Ferguson Home for Unmarried Mothers, located at 162 West 130th street, was knocked down by another automobile in which two men were riding and painfully injured Friday evening.
Dazed by the blow, Mrs. Caution, with the assistance of passersby, picked up her up from the pave.
Mr. Wilson commended the white race, especially in America, for its brilliant achievements in all lines of endeavor, but said that it had come about largely through their climbing up upon the backs of black men, women and children; sucking their blood and exploiting their labor.
From the time Pedro Alonso, a black Italian, plotted the ship of Christopher Columbus upon the first discovery of America the Negro has played a most vital and indispensable role in the history of the nation. Therefore, why does America not enforce the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments in the Negro's behalf, thundered the "Little Napoleon" in a voice of fierce accent.
"I love my country and I love its President, but I hate the mob spirit in America. I believe in law and order. This country cannot remain half slave and half free, even in this day and time. . . Unless the Negro's condition is bettered, unless

Mrs. Caution Hurt By Automobile
Superintendent of Girls Home Sustains Painful
Injuries
A second or two after she had alighted from a Fifth avenue bus at 150th street and Seventh avenue, Mrs. Estelle Cautlon, superintendent of the Katy Ferguson Home for Unmarried Mothers, located at 162 West 130th street, was knocked down by another automobile in which two men were riding and painfully injured Friday evening.
Dazed by the blow, Mrs. Cautlon, with the assistance of passersby, picked herself up from the pavement, not knowing how badly she was hurt. Meanwhile, the driver stopped his car and offered to take her to Harlem Hospital but, believing that she had sufficiently recovered, she was driven to the home of her daughter, Mrs. William M. Kelley, 226 West 150th street. There it was discovered that she had sustained a deep gash on the head, brushes on the back and leg and other injuries.
Mr. Kelley was called on the telephone at the office of The Amsterdam News and, rushing to the residence, took her to the office of her physician, Dr. E. P. Roberts, in West 130th street. Dr. Roberts stained the flow of blood and otherwise treated her and sent her to Dr. Peter Murray, surgeon, 2588 Seventh avenue, where five stitches were taken to bind up the wound to her scalp.
Mrs. Caution was reported resting comfortably yesterday at the girl's home.
Lewis B. Caution, her son, who lives in Boston, was notified and came on to New York Saturday night. He returned home Monday afternoon.

Tibbs' Marital Troubles Settled
Coloratura Soprano and Professor Reach Agreement Out of Court
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—The marital difficulties of Roy Wilfred Tibbs, professor of piano and organ in the Howard University School of Music, and Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs, international coloratura soprano, have been settled out of court.
The case was set for trial in the District Supreme Court last Wednesday. Justice Hitz was informed, however, that the husband and wife had reached an agreement. The terms of this agreement were not made known.
The suit brought by Mrs. Tibbs was for separate maintenance. Under a court order Prof. Tibbs has been paying her temporary alimony of $100 a month. It is believed that the agreement provides for the continuance of this monthly payment and that the husband and wife are to have alternate custody of their child, Thurlow Evans Tibbs, 6 years old.
Mrs. Tibbs charged her husband with abandoning her after advising her to seek the cultivation of her voice.
Mr. Tibbs filed a counter-charge of desertion against his wife. He declared that she sacrificed home and everything else for a musical career.
Prof. Tibbs and Miss Lillian Evans were married in Gary, Ind. Sept. 10, 1918. Mrs. Tibbs is known in musical circles as Madam Evanti. She sailed last Friday for Paris to fill engagements and to study.
Quick Thinking Boy
Averts Railroad Wreck
SWEDISBORO, N. J., Jan. 23. A passenger train bound from Salem to Camdon, on the West Jersey & Seashore Railroad came to a sudden and jolting step near ivyside station early Thursday when the engineer discovered Richard Overly, 13, standing in the middle of the track frantically waving a tablecloth tied to a stick.
The train crew found a few yards beyond the boy an eight-inch section broken from the rail. Young Overly said that he came on the break about the time he heard the whistle of the locomotive and that he ran into a house, snatched the tablecloth from the table, tied it to the stick and hurried to the tracks just in time to flag the train.
Two Purses Given
Swedesboro Hero
SWEDESBORO, N. J., Jan. 23.—Richard Overby, a thirteen-year-old boy, was the guest of honor at a mass meeting in the Swedesboro High School today and received two purses of money for having prevented a train wreck last Thursday.
The lad, who is a student at the school, listened to speeches by Lewis K. Marr, superintendent of the West Jersey & Seashore Railroad, and Mayor A. A. Hunter of Swedesboro. Then he spoke himself. He referred to his discovery of a broken rail and told how he had flagged a Camden-bound express at Ivy station with a rod table-cloth.
More than 359 school children, members of the Kiwis Club and other visitors cheered at the conclusion of his brief talk. Then Mr. Marr gave the boy two purses, the value of which was not mentioned, one from the railroad and the other from the seventy passengers on the train.
The school was dismissed for the afternoon in order that the students might march to the building for the ceremony.

Free Collector Accused by Girl
"Lack of Evidence" Given as Reason by Magistrate McKiniry
Harry Lowenthal, 30, white, 953 Falle street, was discharged for lack of evidence when arraigned Friday before Magistrate McKiniry in Harlem Court on a serious charge made by Miss Lucy Hamlet, 16, of 589 Greene avenue, Brooklyn.
Policemen Gavigan and O'Connor, of the East 126th street station, saw Lowenthal enter the basement of 1648 Park avenue with the girl, and a short time later they went to investigate.

Both girls were charged with being wayward and held, for arraignment in the Woman's Court. Wilson was charged with knowingly residing in a disorderly house, but when he was arraigned before Magistrate McKiniry he was also discharged for lack of evidence.
Testifying against Lowenthal, Miss Hamlet stated he approached her on the street and asked her if she wanted to buy clothes on the installment plan. She invited him into the Smith apartment, she said, because she thought her friend, Miss Smith, was in need of clothes. While in the apartment, Lowenthal, the girl testified, lured her into the bedroom, where he attacked her. Lowenthal stated he was employed as a collector for the Hygrade Clothing Company. 131 West 125th street, and had gone to the Park avenue house to solicit trade. He denied the charge made by the girl and was discharged for lack of evidence.

Raymond Snyder, Cashier and Ticket Taker Accused of Fraud
Raymond Snyder, Cashier and Ticket Taker Accused of Fraud
All Three Defendants Former Employees of Lincoln Theatre, Owned by Mrs. M. C. Downs, Who Made Complaint After Detective's Report
It was decided by Magistrate Francis X. McQuade, sitting in Heights Court Thursday, that "it is the People's case," regarding the charges of larceny against Raymond Snyder, white, former manager of the Lincoln Theatre, 135th street and Lenox avenue; Elsie Sequiere, 27, and Flossie Burney, 28. The two girls live together at 80 St. Nicholas place and were former cashier and ticket taker, respectively, at the theatre. All three were held in $1,000 bail each for trial in Special Sessions. They were released on bond.
They were arrested over a week ago by Warrant Officer James Boyle in complaint of Mrs. Marla C. Downs, white, 40 East Fifty-fourth street, owner of the theatre, who accused the defendants with defrauding her by reselling admission
extremely nervous, avoided the strong stare of the attorney and became silent. She was finally obliged to answer the question. "No!" she said.
All Held on Sleuth's Word
Detective Hartney testified that he had been hipped to get evidence of fraud, if any, and told the court that on the night in question he had bought tickets No. 011920 and one other which marked. He sat in his car across the street the theatre, he said, and saw Mr. Snyder enter the box office and insisted Hartney returned and bought the same tickets again, he said, and this time they were not shot out of the ticket machine as at first.
Mrs. Regan, the secretary, testified that she was absent at dinner during the above episode.
Harry Cook, for seven years a porter at the theatre, related his various conversations with Miss Sequiles, but did not say that either of the girls had ever told him anything about reselling tickets, as the District Attorney apparently expected him to. In short, the testimony gave no proof of the guilt of the defendants beyond the word of Detective Hartney.
Snyder Financed Shows
According to Mr. Snyder, he financed various theatrical productions for the Lincoln during his ten years' management there and that upon leaving Mrs. Downs owed him thousands of dollars. The receipts, I. O. U.'s and records of these financial transactions Mrs. Downs has in her safe, it is said, and she refuses to turn them over to Mr. Snyder.
Therefore, the former manager has brought suit in civil court to recover the money that he says Mrs. Downs owes him. Mrs. Downs' action is presented criminal charge is taken by the defense agency to nullify the civil suit against her.
The salary of Mr. Snyder, who lives at 237 Forty-sixth street, Union City, N. J. was $60 per week and 20 per cent of the net receipts, it was justified.

They were arrested over a week ago by Warrant Officer James Boyle in complaint of Mrs. Maria C. Downs, white, 40 East Fifty-fourth street, owner of the theatre, who accused the defendants with defrauding her by reselling admission tickets. Er. Judge Talley of General Sessions was counsel for Mrs. Downs and Mr. Snyder was defended by attorney Bennett E. Slegstein. Richard L. Cunningham was counsel or the two girls. Under cross questioning by the defense attorneys and District Attorney William Schwartz, Mrs. Downs settled that she discharged Mr. Snyder on the spot on the night of Dec. 21 when William Hartney, the private detective she had hired to "get somebody," reported that he had been sold the same admission tickets twice.
Further testimony revealed that Mrs. Downs refused to allow Mr. Snyder the possession of important papers belonging to him that were locked in her safe. She very reluctantly admitted this to be true when Attorney Siegelstein reminded her of Mr. Snyder's return to the theatre Christmas night when he again asked for the papers that would show his financial standing with Mrs. Downs testified that Miss Sequieres, the cashier, visited her home and confessed to reselling tickets and turning the money over to Mr. Snyder.
All Charges Denied
However, following the hearing Miss Sequieres and Miss Burney both signed a sworn statement of denial of the entire charges against them and further denied having made any confession to Mrs. Downs. This signed statement was turned over to Attorney Slegelstein at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon at his office. Mr. Snyder also denied the charges in full.
Addressing Mrs. Downs on the witness stand the defense sharply demanded of her if she had not asked the girls to sign a statement that would free her secretary, Mrs. Mary Regan, of any complicity in the alleged fraud. Mrs. Downs became

National Head of Elks' Red Cross Nurses Dies
Sarah E. Hawkins, organizer and national head of Elks' Units of Red Cross Nurses, died at Harlem Hospital, Saturday, Jan. 21, after two weeks' illness there. Miss Hawkins was a member of the Manhattan Temple of Elks, the Sisterhood of Mother Zion Church, the Court of Calanthe, the Benevolent Order of Antelopees, the Urban League, the Y. W. C. A. and several political organizations of Harlem. She was also the associate captain of her particular voting district.
She is survived by an aunt, Mrs. Lucy Jackson; two uncles, Beal Jackson of Washington, D. C., and James Jackson of Catonsville, Md.; Mr. and Mrs. Luther Eure and Sadie Alexander.
The funeral will be conducted by the Rev. J. W. Brown at Mother Zion Church today at 1 p. m. The remains are in charge of Mrs. Rosa LeGarr, 121 West 132d street.

lynching is stopped there will be another Civil War. . . Every time a helnous crime is committed by a white man or woman they try to throw suspicion on the Negro, as witness the Snyder-Gray, Lillienhald and other prominent cases."
Mr. Wilson then made an impassioned plea for the Negro to present a solid front and fight the lynching monstrosity in America. He declared himself in great fear of America meeting imminent and national disaster the same as other nations that have taken a mean and cowardly advantage of an oppressed people. He asked the Negro to fight as well as pray.
Attorney E. A. Johnson, former assemblyman, remarked that his message to the Negro is "Wield the ballot mightly and keep your powder dry!" "The ballot is the greatest weapon of defense that you have," he said.
The Rev. Wyndham M. C. Lord, from the Virgin Islands, said that the dark people of the West Indies, South America and the Virgin Islands look upon America and the Negro it lynches with shame; contempt and disgust, because the condition of the Negro in America reflects upon and reacts against them.
"The time is here when the Negroes of the world must be brought together. The American Negro must have a racial, moral and religious program that will give power to Negroes elsewhere," the Rev. Mr. Lord concluded.
The Rev. F. A. Cullen, pastor of Salem Church, expressed the belief that the remedy for lynching lay more in the changing of men's hearts than in anything else.
City College Student Had Been Ill Seven
Burial ceremonies will be held today for James W. Randolph, 36, brother of A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, from the funeral parrons of Duncan Brothers, 2303 Seventh avenue, at one o'clock. Interment was at Woodlawn Cemetery. The Rev. A. C. Garner of Grace Congregational Church presided.
The late Mr. Randolph lived at 314 West 138d street with his brother, by whom he is survived. He also leaves a mother and several relatives.
The deceased was a student at New York City College and had received the degree of bachelor of science. He was to have concluded his thesis here in the university. He bark for Germany to continue them. His native home was Jacksonville, Fln., where he received his early school training.
Last June he received an appointment as second lieutenant to the Seventy-seventh Division, U. S. Army, being the first Negro officer ever to serve with a white infantry, it is said.
James Randolph had been stuck only seven days, having taken suddenly ill with tonsilitis on January 15. Dr. Edward Mason was called in next day and visited him thrice daily thereafter. His condition bordered closely upon typhoid fever and his temperature hovered be-
tween 103 and 105 and his heart became affected.
Mr. Randolph seemed to rally on Saturday. His brother, Philip, came on from Washington, D. C., Sunday morning. At 10 o'clock the same day he sank again and his heart gave way under the strain. He died at 1:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. He was conscious to the last moment.
Four Held in $1,000
Bail on Policy Charge
Charged with the possession of a large quantity of policy slips, Frances Russell, 47, and her daughter, Daisy Russell, 18, were arrested in their home, 110 West, 143d street, along with Henry Peet, 22, 262 West, 154th street, and Harriet Willis, 28, 147 West 145th street, Monday morning. Detectives Fenelon and Ryan of the Sixth Division allege Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Willis to be collectors, while Peet, they say, is a "pick-up man." They were arraigned before Magistrate Vitale in Helights Court the same day. The detectives told the court that Mrs. Russell had 49 slips, her daughter, 12, Peet, 51, and Mrs. Willis several slips. In Daisy's bureau drawer they are alleged to have found a larger quantity. After hearing the detective's testimony Magistrate Vitale held the defendants in $1,000 ball each for a further hearing today.

Both Sides Protest Relief Skipper's Testimony at
Trial
Testifying in Admiralty Court before Judge John R. Hazel, John Dressler, white, former relief captain of the schooner Lnseerd King, which was rammed by a cake of ice in the Hudson River last December, 1926, and sunk, carrying fifty-six men to death, was so outspoken that even his own counsel protested.
He said the boat was hard to steer, and its rudder sometimes jammed so that it could only be guided in circles. In addition, he said the boat leaked, despite all which, he had known it to carry ninety-five men.
Last week Piedro Mitchen, 127 West 135th street, and Julius Johnson, 568 Eighth avenue, testified. Mitchen said:
"I was carried clear under water in the cabin, but finally broke a window open and pushed through sidewise and swam up to the air. "Other men couldn't get out. "There were men clinging to the ice on the surface. I was in the river for an hour. Some of the others sank. Then a tugboat picked me up." So tight was the jam in the Linseed King's box-like cabin, Mitchen said, that when the cry of Water coming in a arose, and the water of many of the struggling could not raise his hands above his head. He admitted he had dragged another man from the window to get through.
Spencer, Kellogg & Sons, who had the launch under charter, and who are being sued for an aggregate of $4,000,000, entered the cabin among the last. When water gushed in, he fought off a man who had seized his coat, and dived over the side. Charles F. Kratovil, former stockroom worker, said that before the disaster the launch had gone down by the head several times while crossing the Hudson with a packed load. Thomas E. Horn, painter, testified that he had quit work for Spencer, Kellogg & Sons because he feared to ride on the Linseed King.

Bill Would Authorize Sec'y of Treasury To Pay That Sum to Former Professor
Amount Would Be Paid to Cover Costs Incurred, Losses Sustained, Damages and Profits in Operating Home for Wards of Capital
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.—A bill for the relief of William H. H. Hart, former professor of criminal law in the Howard University Law School, is pending in the Senate Committee on Claims. It was introduced by Senator Charles Curtis, Republican, of Kansas, on January 9.
The bill would authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to Prof. Hart the sum of $22,575,389.14 with interest from December 31, 1925, to date of payment.
This sum would be paid to him to cover costs incurred, losses sustained, damages suffered, and annual commercial profit on his undertaking in the care, maintenance and teaching of colored wards of the District of Columbia placed with him by the Board of Children's Guardians from Nov. 8, 1897, to June 30, 1906.
Under a similar bill the claim of Prof. Hart against the United States was referred to the Court of Claims. That court ascertained the facts and reported them to Congress.
barns, filled with grain and farming implements. The loss was a total one, but the board took no notice of it. Another fire occurred in January, 1904, destroying a dwelling and storehouse. The board took no action respecting this loss.
In March, 1906, Prof. Hart went into bankruptcy. His farm, school and property in Maryland and improved city property in Washington went into the hands of a trustee in bankruptcy.
In 1897 there was no place available for the care and training of the older colored wards of the Board of Children's Guardians of the District of Columbia. Prof. Hart owned a farm of 295 acres about twelve miles from Washington in Prince Georges County, Md. An adjoining tract of 345 acres was owned by the late Senator William M. Evarts of New York, in whose employ Prof. Hart was at that time engaged. Prof. Hart later acquired this adjoining tract. Prof. Hart entered into nine contracts with the Board of Children's Guardians for the care and education of its older colored male wards. After four years serious differences began to arise between him and the board.
In the appropriation act of July 1, 1903, Congress inserted a clause providing for the care and maintenance of sixty wards of the board at the Hart Farm School at the rate of $200 a year, each. The board was displeased with this legislation. They offered Prof. Hart a contract for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903. It imposed many additional duties and requirements. There was inserted also a strict penalty clause for failure to observe its terms. Prof. Hart protested and withheld signature until Oct. 13, 1902, while, on July 26, 1903, the board withdrew all of its wards from the school. Prof. Hart was without any income from the school until he signed the contract. The board then gradually returned its wards.
The next Congress on June 30, 2004, removed all doubt of its intention by inserting a mandatory clause in the annual appropriation bill, directing the board to contract with the Hart Farm School for the care and maintenance of sixty wards at $200 a year each.
Prof. Hart was hard put to secure the necessary funds to maintain the school. He suffered a financial loss, for which the action of the board, by its reduction of his compensation from $200 to $175 a ward and its withdrawal of its wards from his school, was responsible.
His financial resources were so limited that he lost many of his horses and cattle by starvation. He gave away some and sold others at prices greatly below value in order to prevent their loss by starvation.
In the contract of July 1, 1903, here was inserted a provision that in case of any loss or destruction if property through acts by wards if the board the board was to recommend to Congress an appropriation to pay him. On April 17, 1903, a ward set fire to one of his

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 25. 1928
The award last week of $50 by the New York Supreme Court to Mrs. Lillian Brathwalt, 37 West 129th street, has revealed another phase of the slow motion ordeal to which dispossession cases are generally subjected before final action is taken.
The story dates back to a period approximately nine years ago, when Mrs. Brathwalt secured through a housing corporation now defunct a three year lease on the premises, 204 West 138th street, consisting of fourteen rooms, for which she agreed to pay the stipulated rent of $1,200 per year.
Shortly after she took possession, the house was sold to its present owner and occupant, Mrs. Annie Payne, who with the assistance of a dispossession order from the Seventh District Municipal Court forced the lessee to vacate.
Mrs. Brathwaith complied with the order, but appealed later in the Appellate Term of the New York Supreme Court. The case was postponed several times until last December when it was given a hearing before Justice Mullen. Decision was reserved until last week. The sum awarded the plaintiff represents a reasonable rental for the unexpired term of her lease. The law firm of George and Madison, 200 West 135th street, represented the plaintiff.

Awarded Harmon Award for Improving Race Relations
For their outstanding contributions toward improving the relations between white and colored people in America, James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., and Julius Rosenwald of Chicago were named Friday to receive awards in Race Relations granted by the Harmon Foundation of New York. Dr. Dillard was given $500 and a gold medal.
A special award consisting of a gold medal was conferred upon Mr. Rosenwald, who is chairman of board of directors of Sears-Roebuck & Co., Chicago. The field of Race Relations is one division of the series of Harmon Awards for Distinguished Achievement Among Negroes, organized in 1926, and administered by the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches, 105 East Twenty-second street. It is the only award in the series which is open to either white or colored people.
Dr. Dillard, a southern white man 71 years of age, is president of the Jeanes Fund and of the John F. Slater Fund, both of which are dedicated to educational work among Negroes. Although a single award was offered in this field, the judges felt that the services of Dr. Dillard
and Mr. Rosenwald were so unique and distinguished as to deserve similar recognition.
"The jury consisted of the Rev. R. E. Jones, bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church; Dr. Alva Taylor, secretary of the Social Service Commission of the Disciples of Christ; Dr. W. C. Jackson, president of the North Carolina College for Women; Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, and Dr. Samuel McCune Lindsay, of Columbia University.
Public presentation of the awards will take place in Washington, D. C., at the First Congregational Church on February 22 at 2:30 in the afternoon. Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, chairman of the Interracial Committee of that city, is in charge of the arrangements

Membership,However,Does Not Include the Clergymen
Two gambling raids were conducted upon "Presher's" Club, 234 West 131st street, last Tuesday night, one at 6 and the other at 9 o'clock, taking about 40 men in all. One lot of prisoners were arraigned in Night Court before Magistrate Farrell and another lot before Magistrate McQuade in Heights Court. The men were all dismissed because of lack of evidence, the detectives having found no gambling paraphernalia. The detectives testified that the men were shooting crap but the managers of the club declare that no gambling is allowed at any time.
Roy Saunders, one of the club of officers, said that the police raid the club whenever they get the notion whether they find evidence or not. The clubs takes it name from its owner, a man called "Preacher," and is not composed of clergymen as reported in the daily press. The club is a suspicious looking building with curtains drawn at every window and a peep hole in the front door and west side window on the first floor.

Among the many interesting things Senorita Fuente told her guests was the true Mexican attituro toward Col. Charles A. Lindberg, America's "Ambassador of Good Will." She said that Mexico's enthusiastic reception of the "Flying Eagle" was an honor to Lindberg as a heroic individual and that her country was not fooled by the good-will idea. American capitalists are "obnoxious" to Mexico," she said.

Shatters Nightstick on Robber's Head
The cries of Lonnie Lattimore, 19, 23 West 135th street, who was being assaulted and robbed, he said, by three men in the hallway of 25 West 135th street Sunday night, brought Patrolman Williams to his rescue.
The men gave battle and the patrolman broke his nightsticktick over the head of Arthur Robinson. 24, 261 West 134th street. Robinson afterward told the magistrate that he was "a little hurt."
Having knocked out Robinson, the patrolman turned to subdue his companions, James Roper. 28, 3 East 134th street, and Julius Roberts. 25, 54 West 135th street. During the fray Patrolman Williams was badly ripped on the left arm with a knife. His broken nightstick proved a great handicap, he said.
The men were finally subdued and Robinson was revived at the police station. They were arraigned Monday before Magistrate Vitalie in Heights Court and, were held without ball for a further hearing. Roper is said to be the ringleader of a gang of robbers and at the time of his arrest was on parole, having been arrested on two charges of homicide. His parole came as the result of pleading guilty and self-defense. Patrolman Williams is a World War veteran and was cited four times for bravery.
Thought $6.80 Detroit
Call Cost Only 30c
William Hollis, who lives at 506 Ferry street, Hoboken, went into the cigar store of Morris Pank, at 80 Adams street. Hoboken, and asked permission to use the private telephone in the back of the shop. He called for Clifford 2247-W and talked for nine minutes to a girl named Georgette. When he came back to the counter he told Pank that the number was in New York, and offered to pay for it, laying down thirty cents. Pank had never heard of a Clifford exchange in New York, and he grew suspicious. The long distance operator confirmed his suspicions. She told him Clifford 2247-W was in Detroit and that the bill was $6.50.
Hollis said he was sorry, but thirty cents was his total cash capital. Pank then had him arrested. Later he told the police he had met Georgette at a party in New York, and that she gave him only her telephone number. He said he had be loved it was in New York, and that he had called her several times from private telephones.

Former Democrat Opens Republican Club
From a one-time Democratic leader in Harlem to the presidency of a newly formed Republican organization which made its formal how to the public Saturday night. Is the jump made by Oscar H. Waters, known as a former faithful Democrat adherent. The Citizens' Independent Republican Club is the name of the new organization and it has a well furnished home at 122 West 120th street. The idea is said to have been conceived in the minds of the three men who form the club's principal officers, Oscar H. Waters, the president, Cornelius H. Robinson, secretary, and Louis E. Williams, treasurer.
When the Democratic national convention met in this city a few years ago, Waters was selected as a doorkeeper, though at the time he was reputed to be the national Negro leader among the Democrats. For many years he has headed Democratic clubs in Harlem, but after former Mayor John P. Hylan ceased to be a factor in the party Waters, too, ceased being a factor among his own race as a Democrat.
"If You Can't Help Me, Don't Help That Bear"
KINSTON, N. C. Jan. 23. [P. N. S.)—Egbert Whitfield, a fleet-toed youth, mumbled a silent prayer of "If you can't help me, please don't help that bear." as he ran a foot race with a bear and won by a slight margin Wednesday night.
The race occurred in the Wyse Fork section. Whitfield dashed up to the home of a white farmer early in the evening, daring two dogs on the premises to do the worst to him and risking being shot by the farmer. The bear was barely 50 feet behind him, and Whitfield said the margin had been considerably less during part of the long and gruelling race.
The farmer heard Whitfield's story and he with other men went out in search of the bear with guns. The bear was found about a hundred yards from the house. Apparently it had been frightened out of the yard by the dogs. Several shots were fired at it without effect Whitfield was so weakened from the race that he collapsed and it was several hours before he was able to be taken home.

Mystery Surrounds Burning of Man
Awoke Up in Mass of Flames While Asleep on Cot
Deep mystery surrounded for a while the burning of Eddie Burnell, 22, 45 East 131st street, who woke up in a mass of flames in a hallway where he is said to have been sleeping at 4:45 o'clock Friday morning. An ambulance was called and Dr. Wilkinson removed, him to Harlem Hospital, where he lies in a very serious condition. Someone was believed to have thrown kerosene (or gasoline) over his body and ignited it and Detective Filmer of the West 135th street station was assigned to investigate. Police records stated that the incident occurred at 8 West 136th street, but John Butler, the janitor there, denied any knowledge of it. The

BROTHERHOOD'S WAGE CASE HEARD
Interstate Commerce Commission Hears Argument to Investigate Pullman Wages
Interstate Commerce Commission Hears Argument to Investigate Pullman Wages
Recommends Arbitration
In the chambers of the Interstate Commerce Commission Saturday morning Attorney Henry T. Hunt presented the argument in behalf of the petition of the Brotherhood to investigate the Pullman Company's wages in relation to the Pullman porters. The attorneys for the Pullman Company presented the argument, attempting to show reasons why the Commission should set aside the petition of the porters.
Practically the full commission sat in the case. This is unusual. It indicates the importance and far-reaching significance of the dispute. The company, which was the defendant in the case, began by contending that the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters were presenting this petition as a subterfuge for raising rages.
Pastor Flourishes
Pistol in Pulpit
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 23.—The Rev. W. D. Eddings, pastor of a Duquesne church, was found guilty of carrying and pointing a pistol Thursday after members of his congre
It is interesting to note that the attorneys for the Pullman Company argued in behalf of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters carrying its case to the United States Mediation Board for arbitration. Mr. Kelly, the company's attorney, said that congress had set up this body as another arm of the Government to deal with the question of wages, rules and working conditions and that the Commission had no jurisdiction over this question. This statement was made in all apparent innocence, although the organization, last July, had according to the provisions of the Railway Act, presented its case to the United States Mediation Board for the revision of wages, rules and working conditions.
Edwin P. Morrow, after determining that the Brotherhood represented majority of the porters and maids, urged and recommended that the Pullman Company arbitrate the dispute with the union, but the Pullman Company flatly refused to do so, thereby, fragrantly violating the intent and purpose of the Railway Labor Act which was enacted by Congress and signed by the President. Mr. Hunt pointed out that the low wages of $72.50 a month were porters because the company was an ex-convict of the public would subsidize this wage with tips. He discounted the charge of the Pullman Company's attorney that the case was for the purpose of raising wages and therefore should be presented to the United States Mediation Board.
He pointed out that the motive for presenting the case to the Interstate Commerce Commission was not material and that the Commission had the power to inquire into the business management of the Pullman Company, which involved the investigation of wages, rates and working conditions. This view of Mr. Hunts was corroborated and confirmed by practically every commissioner who questioned the attorneys for the Pullman Company.
He also established beyond the question of doubt that the Pullman Company had given authorization, induced and directed porters to receive, solicit and obtain tips. He read from the book of rules issued by the company a statement by L. S. Hungerford, vice-president and general manager of the Pullman Company, which tended to show that the company recognized tips as a normal and usual compensation which a good porter would receive.
He broke down the contention of the attorneys for the company that $7,000,000 which the public gave in tips did not influence the wage policy of the company and showed that were it not for these gratuities the company would be compelled to pay a living wage.

Pastor Flourishes
Pistol in Pulpit
PITT'SURGH, Jan. 23.—The Rev. W. D. Eldings, pastor of a Duquesne church, was found guilty of carrying and pointing a pistol Thursday after members of his congregation testified he appeared in the pulpit and "fanned" the audience with a "big black pistol."
The minister, according to witnesses, was reading a notice that Joe Johnson was ousted as a church deacon when Johnson rose in his seat. Ordered to "sit down," Johnson testified he sat down. Then, it was testified, the minister drew the pistol and nourished it, and Deacon Johnson and several of his friends went out nearby windows. Others, loyal to the pastor in factional difficulties, deserted him and the church soon was empty.
The Rev. Mr. Eddings, on whom sentence was postponed pending a motion for a new trial, testified that all he could remember of the disturbance was that someone hit him on the head with a piano stool.

This condition came about as the result of Herman B. Morgau, 235 West 143d street, complaining to Commissioner Coler that the committee had refused to award him the prize after he had presented what he maintained was the winning number. Each chance-taker paid 25 cents for a number, this being a direct violation of the law, according to the commissioner. "We did not realize we were violating the law," the committee said, "and certainly no intention of doing so."
Mrs. Briggs declared the winner to be one J. H. Mosley, who afterward donated the automobile to the committee in memory of his mother, because he had to leave the city. Hurley Morgan, 217 Edgecombe avenue, was the name on Mosley's winning ticket, but it should have been Shirley Morgan, which is the name of Mosley's sweetheart, Mrs. Briggs explained. This is the error that caused all the misunderstanding and the committee's subsequent embarrassment. Counting number was drawn at Bamboo, some time ago and when no one answered to the name of Hurley Morgan a Mrs. Bailey, one of the ticket sellers, informed Herman Morgan that he had won the Nash sedan. When he went to claim his prize he was told that Hurley and not Herman Morgan was the winner. He investigated and found no such
FIVE
name or address. He returned to the committee and reported his findings and was told this time that J. H. Mosley was the winner. By this time he was openly suspicious. He took his story to Commissioner Coler.
The Nash was priced at $1,000, but "for charity" the motor company reduced it to $876. When Mosley donated the car back to the committee they sold it for $600 and are reported to have spent part of the money to help the poor.

A LITTLE over a week ago the curtain of the Bijou Theatre was raised for Thea Marovska, a white lyric singer, to make a bow. The other curtain—the curtain of life, of success—lowered for Thea Marovska last Wednesday morning. Her debut was unsuccessful. Failure stared her in the face. An exit by self-destruction was her resort.
Possibly this is "just another case of suicide by gas." Beneath the surface, however, there is something to consider. Imagine spending years looking forward to that night of nights; footlights, hearty applause, flowers; permanent success. These things have no genuine value, yet they do satisfy human vanity.
Perhaps Thea Marovska felt music in her soul and wanted to sing for the beauty of it all. She certainly tried to fit herself for the role by studying and working day and night. But the critics stunned her; they took from her that precious jewel called success.
On the other hand, if all of us who believe we have fallen short of our goals were to take our lives, there might be much work for the undertakers—T.E.B.

Filipino Doctor Invents
Unique Method of
Photography
A marvelous and unique Filipino invention which threatens to revolutionize the art of photography has been created by Doctor Faustino B. Urbano, whose studio is at 2133 Seventh avenue. This invention, Dr. Urbano asserts, is different from photomaton, photomaton's photographic will do away with the patrons and much dissatisfaction to the patrons of modern photographic methods.
The most appealing feature in this invention is embodied in the fact that patrons actually take their own portraits. Dr. Urkano and his partner, Dr. Polik C. Moskowski, note that the patron enters a private booth, the interior of which is invisible to the public. There is a mirror directly in front, which at first sight seems like any ordinary mirror, except that this one has a tiny shutter in the center. The prospective portrait-taker takes a seat facing the mirror, and herself to one's individual taste. When fully arranged, the patron accesses a rubber cubb at the side, the picture being completed exactly as reflected in the mirror.
The development and printing of the portrait on tintype is accomplished in one minute by special process, price by special process, and just ten cents and the photos—also be enlarged to a reasonable size without losing distinctions.

HOUSEWIVES EXCHANGE
THE most perfectly ordered household now revolves in a glow of color. Even the table linen has one out in gold and apple green. color in table linens is no longer an innovation. We all know the added charm it gives the dining room, but not all of us can afford the high prices that these decorative cloths and napkins usually command. The best ones are imported and the price tags are such that most of us know what we are offering in view. But there is a way of circumventing this high cost of color, and anyone who knows it can own a stock of linens as stunningly attractive as the ones from the "other side." Here is a secret: Dye your old white linen table cloth. Add a bit of handwork for that smart individual touch, and presto! You'll have the most colorful clothes that anyone could wish. You'll have the same choice for informal dinners, simple or ivory damask remains the correct dress for formal aspirations.
Babies
Some time ago I promised to talk to you further about babies and small children. Today I shall discuss briefly, "Habits and Clothing." Habits are good when they improve the person who possesses them, or bad when they destroy his ability to be his own master. The habit she can possess except those for which his own possesses. If she is a wise mother she will know that the best habits she can start are those of popularity of eating and sleeping. Later, the influence of these good habits will encourage other good habits. Root out destructive habits as soon as they are started. The baby knows no difference between construction and destruction. Habits are strengthened by starvation. If a habit isn't indulged in, it just naturally shrivels up and dies. Even if small habits seem tremendously cunning when begun by the small baby

(thumb sucking for instance) Keep in mind that later these habits are not "cute," and may be productive of real harm, as well as being extremely difficult to erase. That habits are just as easily acquired as good ones, but, unfortunately, far, far harder to break.
Clothing
Comfort, durability, appropriateness—it pays to consider these points when buying clothing for children. Underwear that is well cut and non-frilling; dresses with six-inch hems, that can be let down as the small wearer shoes up; suits with a wide collar; cutlery ought to that Johnny can stand on its head with perfect comfort, and materials of good quality that will stand the tush are some of the things to consider. Perhaps, if we studied our children at their play; if we saw how annoying, how hampering to the child a poorly selected garment can be; if we examined the market and the sales of the dresses find the dressing of a child much smaller, less expensive and far more interesting.

In the second wash with warm soapsuds. When dry, rub the upper side of the leaves with a cloth dipped in olive oil. Occasionally break up the ground and add one teaspoon of olive oil. A dilution of milk and water applied to the roots twice a week will promote growth.
Dear Miss Sharpe:
What can I do to brighten my last year's afternoon dress?
Answer: Remove the usual flower ornament in the feather department you will find funny little parrots made of bright feathers.
Dear Miss Sharpe:
My pipes are frozen. Please tell me how to thaw them without risk? Answer: Pour a pail of brine into the pipe above the part frozen. Put as much salt in the water as it will dissolve. This will melt the ice, pop the pipe paper, and safe way is to wrap with old woolen stockings and pour boiling water over wrappings.
Dear Miss Sharpe:
What kind of dress and what color would you suggest for my daughter's first formal party?
Answer: inspired by the chrysanthemum in three tones of aftina ranking from a beige yellow to deep russet. The waist is of belge and the skirt has three flowers of the three colors, pinked in deep scallops around the bottom. You should, however, give consideration to the girl's general make-up.

The Perfect Fitting Hat
WHAT can give a woman more the feel of feeling of assurance than a perfect fitting and becoming hat? The woman thus equipped goes along her triumphant and conquering way with the lissom tread of security and conscious power.
How does your hat fit? Too big in the crown, perhaps, or too drooping for your drooping face? Poke the solosers and shush that crown, saw it back overlapped until it does fit. If necessary, cover the seam with matching ribbon.
If the brim is too drooping, cut the brim off and put a new flat one in its place. To cut a brim is simple, but if you are afraid to attempt it, get help.
By all means have your hat help instead of hinder your progress toward beauty.

Bruce Flowers Gave Eddie Elkins a Boxing Lesson at Olympia Saturday
Bruce Flowers Gave Eddie Elkins a Boxing Lesson at Olympia Saturday
Colored Fighter Again Establishes Right to Be Considered at the Hands of Those Directing Destiny of Boxing Here
Bruce Flowers, the colored New Rochelle lightweight, who has been dogging Sid Terris' footsteps for a bout to decide the real contender for Sammy Mandell's crown, scored his third triumph over Eddie Elkins, tough Harlem entry, in the ten-round final before a capacity crowd at the Olympia A. C., Harlem, last Saturday night. Flowers took things easy from the start, and didn't seem to care to extend himself greatly to win the decision, safeguarding his hands for his bout with Lope Tenorio at Madison Square Garden Friday night.
Though the bout was a good one, and pleased the crowd, it wasn't as full of the thrills provided in their two previous bouts. Elkins tried a rally, ineffectively, in the final round, but Flowers continued giving him a boxing lesson, as he had done through the other rounds. Each weighed 135.
EIGHT
In the semi-final six-rounder, Harry Mills, the Brooklyn featherweight supposedly backed by Wall street, outboxed and won the decision from Murray Fuchs, sturdy Harlemite. Mills was much the cleverer of the two, and the verdict in his favor was met with approval by the league 124-121. Coming immediately after that had the fans cheering all the way up to the time the referee stopped the bout, Jimmy Rappaport, of the Irony, and Joey Jacoy, Harlem bantam, were hard put to satisfy the fans, but by the end of their bout they were the customers of their respective abilities, with Rappaport romping home the winner. They traded punches all the way, and set each other a hard and pace, with the referee stepping the edge at the end. At 121, Rappaport outweighed Jacoy, by one ounce.
Mickey Terry, former Hound Brook lightweight now residing in the Bronx, made an auspicious debut before the Olympia fans in another of the skies, when he stopped Carlos Martinez of Chile, after the fourth round. Terry was floored for a nine count in the opening round on a right to the jaw, but Martinez was far better at floor Martinez seven times in the same canto, and twice again in the fourth. Referee Latsy Haley stopped what had developed into a one-sided affair when the fourth round closed. Terry scaled 137½, Martinez, 133. Haley interfered in the first of the skies, giving Ernest Sigourney, Caleigh middleweight, a knockout victory over Paul Janeck, of Cranford, N. J. in 131 of the fifth round. Sigourney outclassed Janeck from the first round up to the fourth, when he stopped in stop 13. 138. Sigourney outweighed Janeck by five pounds.
Joe irene, 153, Fordham, put the rollers under Jimmy La Monte, 151%; West Side, in 0.10 of the first round of their opening four, after knocking him down four times. Joe Hartman and Tommy shortell judged, with Pete Incharembering between the ropes, here more, anugnicing.
Phil Chandler Also Stopped Mass Last Wednesday
Night
San Sanchez, Mexican bantamweight representing the 102nd Medical Corps, substituted for Zulu Kid in the final six-round bout at the 106th Infantry Armory last Wednesday night and dropped the decision to Benny Hall after six hard fought rounds. Zulu Kid was declared ineligible, as his 80-day term of National Guard service had no end. Hall displayed a superbly clever defense, winning four of the six rounds 08v a clear margin, while the third and 17th were even. Both boys showed a r, lignness to mix, and mix they did, ongeshe, however, had a peculiar habit of bending back when he did this Hall would pop guel with a half-dozen left and rights out return.
The most exciting round was the last, in which the gradiators stood too to toe and exchanged punches with delightful abandon. Hall getting somewhat the better of it. Hall weighed 118. Sanchez 118.
In another scheduled six-rounder Cliff Cross of the Naval Militia knocked out Bobby Armstrong of the 59th Infantry in 50 seconds of the first. Armstrong was battling the regular army, suddenly let go of a haymaking right that caught Bobby flush on the jaw and he went down and out. Each scraper scaled 118 pounds.
Phil Chandler, middleweight, was another knockout victor. He stopped Michael McCormick of the regular army stationed at Fort Hamilton, in the second stanza of a scheduled six.
On Saturday, Jan. 28, the Y. M. D. sum will attempt to break even with the powerful St. Jude aggregation of basketball tossers. Well do the boys member their defeat at the hands of Y. M. D. last season.
The Y. M. D. has been playing very good back this season, having lost four games, to the Bordenown team.

Robinson Elected Captain
Of Tuskegee Football Team
TUSKEGE INSTITUTE. Am. Jan. 21. Cornelius Robinson, for the last two years regular tackle, has been elected captain of the Tuskegee Institute football team for the season of 1923. The election occurred at the home of Dr. and Mrs. R. I. Moton immediately following the annual recognition tendering to the team. Robinson entered Tuskegee from the Bay City High School, Bay City, Texas. He played on the reserve team one year, and won a berth on the varsity the following season. He has been a regular player over since. Robinson has been a valuable assistant for practice. He is one of the most consistent players on the team and has a steadying influence on the squad.
RENAISSANCE DISABLED BUT STILL WINNING Tuxedo Tigers Drop Game in Basketball League
The Renaissance team, almost totally disabled defended by the New York Whirlwinds last Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino by the score of 57 to 21.
With a slick list that includes Capt. Stocum, lil in bed with pneumonia, Jenkins with an attack of grippie, and Sundner with a severely strained wrist, the team were never the game. Of those that played Mayers still nursed an injured finger which was still in bandages, and Flall was suffering from brushes in previous games. Notwithstanding all this hard luck, enough to wreck any team, the current players ran roughhouses over the Whirlwinds and gave them a sound thrashing.
Pappy Ricks led the team in their determined fight to carry on, getting 9 field goals and one foul for a total of 16 points. The goaltender services with 5 field goals and 4 fouls, and 4 field goals and 6 fouls respectively. At half time the Renaissance led by the score of 24 to 10. The Renaissance exhibited a new advantage and showed up to good advantage and saved the encouragement of the fans.
Due to their disabled condition, the team lost two games on the road during the week, one to Hudson, N. Y., 27 to 22, and the other to Schenectadet, N. Y., 27 to 17. They won from Fleischmann, 57 toonta, 57 to 40, and Chidwicks, 46 to 22.
This week they are booked to play in five states as follows: Saratogan, N. Y.; Rutland, Vt.; Benington, Vt.; Pittsfield, Musa.; Holyoke, Musa.; New Britain, Conn., and Paasche, N. J.
Next Sunday night they will meet the Tasman Giants at the Renaissance Casino.
In the preliminary game last Sunday the Metro-Diamonds defeated the Majestics in an interesting game by the score of 27 to 21.
Chink' Lmd, who referred the content of the game to unfair in his decisions against the Majestics the fans were disgusted.
These preliminary games are for the development of our future greats and should be encouraged. The kind of refereeing exhibited on Sunday night do not help the spirit of the youngsters and should be discontinued. On Monday night, January 30, the Collegians, one of our best lightweight teams in New York, will line up against the best team in the league, sheered the best, white team of their weight in the city. The game will be staged as a preliminary to the Original Celtics' American League game at Madison Square Garden. The Collegians have a string of 161 victories to their credit with no defeats and should give a good account of themselves. Here's hoping our boys will win.

Tuxedos Drop First Game
ORANGE, N. J., Jan. 20.—Just to give the home folks an idea as to the calibre of the teams in the Eastern League of Associated Hasketball Clubs, the once lowly Capitol Club of Asbury Park moreread with their entire cheering section and performed against Richard Lee's cohorts. Their performance bordered on the scintillating, to say the least.
At the beginning of the season it was certainly nurmured by the team in the now that Joe Newman's club was fittingly trial horses for all the other teams in the league. Evidently they reckoned without the thought of the erstwhile owner in mind, for Joe surely has worked wonders with that machine of his since the writer last saw them. Herefore they have played as individuals, each doing his best to garner as many points for himself as possible, with no idea at all of team play. Last Friday night it was altogether different, each momentary flashes of brilliance of the Lemen Jones, but not for long. Team play was the keynote. They simply passed that till until the Tigers grew bleary-eyed trying to follow the ball.
From the opening whistle it was nip and tuck all the way. First Capitol Club would forge ahead, then Captain Peacock would go into a huddle and emerge with the necessary point to the score. It was a new-law battle from start to finish. The Capitol Club took a leaf from Knute Rockne's book and used part of their second team to start the fray, and after they had run

If all goes well, a new semi-pro baseball team will take the diamond next summer, backed by men with influence in the game and the experience necessary to conduct a venture of this kind. We'll need that Billy Gates conjunction with Charlie Rose, a well-known manager of boxers and an international sports promoter, will be behind the team, which would be a welcome addition to the others we have already. We believe there are enough material running around boose in these parts to make it a real team, and those men with semi-pro experience would do well to apply at Room 603 at 1465 Broadway or call Wakefield 2199.

FLOWERS WILL PRESS CLAIM
Feels That He Is Entitled to Chance at Champion=
Bruce Flowers, New Rochelle Negro lightweight champion, rates Benny Leonard the greatest among the world's champions in his division. In discussing the lightweight attention last week Flowers said he will enter a protest against the Sid Terry-Jimmy McLennan-Sammy Mandell trot in setting the championship. Flowers says he has willingly fought every boxer the promoters have secured to oppose him. Most of them were wife boys and he suffered a good deal of stimulation because of his color. He claims that he will meet him on the ground that he is Negro "surely my ring record entitles me to consideration," he added. Flowers praised Benny Leonard for fighting often while he held the title, stating that only a month after becoming champion he fought Leo Johnson, the best Negro batter of his day. Flowers will press his claim with the boxing salons now that he has again defeated Eddie Elkins.

Majestics Again Victorious
The first quintet of the Majestic Club defeated the boys of the Montclair "T" on the latter's court last Saturday evening in a hard fought game by the score of 30-29.
At half time the Majestic们 were ahead 16-12, but the "T" boys put on a spurt of two seconds before a start of the second half. The team swept back and forth until near the end of the game, when the "T" had a one-point lead.
With two seconds to go Plinn broke loose under the basket and pulled a spectacular shot to win the game for the Majestic just as the final whistle blew.

FLOWERS HAS A FINE RECORD
Will Meet Fast Filipino at the Garden Friday Night
It may surprise some static followers to learn that Bruce Flowers, colored New Rochelle lightweight, has lost but two fights in a career which extends over a period of four years. The so-called second Ad Walgreens, the young Fellipino, Lore Tenorio, at Madison Square Garden, Friday night. This is one of four tents arranged by Matchmaker Jess McMahon. Tenorio is one of the most vicious body punches in the game and has every other qualification to an outstanding lightweight contender.
Four more embryo champs will appear. Sammy Dorfman, unbennett in 42 starts, will be put to the well-known acid test by Joey Sangor, of Chicago, who although he may never reach the static heights, owns a kayo over Sammy Dorfman and two "dukes" over Bud Taylor.
Punches will fly thick and fast when Archie Bell squares off against Vlc Burrone, Greenwich Village Tiger. This event may not go the limit. Bell must win decisively to hold on to his 15-round engagement with Kill Francis on Feb. 6. The first ten will bring together Armanda Schackels and Mickey Chapin.

Clark Trounces Morehouse
ATLANTA, Jan. 18.—Too much Johnson and Hazzard, with their fusillade of shots from every conceivable angle of the court, coupled with the brilliant passing of their teammates, spelled defeat to the Quinlet, as they lost their first game of the season, 41-54, to the Clarkites. The Panthers stepped off to an early

lead, which they maintained throughout, except once, in the first half, when the Maroon quintet spurred and tied the count at 15-15. Morehouse threatened only twice more. Each time they were trailing by a one-point margin for a short while. The jacket was the outstanding star for the 'Panthers, tallying 17 of their markers. He was able supported at guard by Captain Hazzard, who contributed 12. Robinson, at forward, followed closely, with 9. Trayler, at forward; Archer, at center, and Johnson, at guard, tied for honors, with 8 each. Captain Dobbs was on the slick list and remained but a short while in the fray.

Estiridge Fails in Come-Back Attempt Last Week
Larry Estridge, veteran colored middleweight, attempted a comeback in the ring of the Twenty-seventh Division Train armory last Thursday night and, like so many others before him, failed dismally to make good. He was beaten by another veteran, Bernie Huffnagle, of the home outfit, in the final six-round bout, falling to take even a single round. Huffnagle himself recently began a successful comeback. Estridge, who is now representing the 360th Infantry, was no more the man he was once, as Maloney perhaps "never was" of course. At any rate, Larry couldn't seem to get going at all and was forced to absorb a pretty two-fisted pasting. He was guilty of some uncalled for clinching tactics. Huffnagle welged 155 pounds, Estridge, 1591.
Morris Brown, 24;

ATLANTA, Jan. 20. — The Morrish Brown Wolverines came back strong in the closing minutes of the game to down Morehouse 24-22 in a game replete with thrills, in Sunset Casino. The half went up 9-9. Morehouse jumped to the lead in the second half, Morrish Brown overcame, the count see-sawed until the last five minutes, which found Morehouse with a 5-point advantage. Morrish Brown failed and stepped two ahead, while subutitively for Trawler, it bled through the entire Morrish Brown aggregation and tied the count again Bradley sank one from long range and the affair ended 22-24 for the Wolverines.

Death of Alhambra Theatre Motion Picture Operator Ends Bitter Feud
"Cecillo Suarez" but an Assumed Name Under Which Cecil Sixto Tried to Hide for Many Years A LIFE OF MYSTERY AND DRAMA Went From the Virgin Islands to Denmark — Joined Forces Against Lafayette Theatre in Picture Operators' Fight —Estranged From Family and Died as He Lived— Father Had Hope for Reconciliation Recently
(By the Editor.)
The news came to us as a great shock, for we knew him well, but had not seen him for a month or so.
There were many days when "Cecillo Suraez" would swing down seventh avenue when we would wonder how many people knew that the always neatly dressed and gentlemanly young man cherished a certain address in his heart, which fifteen years before started a feud between himself and family, which had a great deal to do with the assumed name under which he traveled.
His death and burial last week released us from the necessity of further helping him to try and forget a past into which a certain bitterness entered, which left him always a mysterious stranger in our midst, despite any friendships he might have formed. Cecil Sixto was the right name of the young Alhambra Theatre motion picture operator whose employer, but a few moments before this article was written, spoke in the highest terms of him. But let us hark back to what we knew of "Cecillo Suraez"; the story will prove more interesting than anything else we can think of at this time to occupy this space.
He was the son of Adolph Sixto, a prominent citizen of the Virgin Islands of whom this paper spoke during the Pan-African Congress here last summer, and of whom we spoke again just two weeks ago while telling of the success of his daughter as a pentecostal missionary. His nephew, mitaken, young Sixto was the eldest of three dren. In early youth he left his home in St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands to study engineering in Copenhagen, Denmark.
We cannot recall if it was at the conclusion of his studies, but we do know that he returned to his home some years after. His mother had died during his absence in Denmark and upon his return to his home the feud startled. He was sent to the world as Ceollo Suarez. Even now we do not feel called upon to go into the details of that bitterness which left him almost a stranger in the land of his birth. He established his residence at the Hotel Du Commerce instead of at the family home. The traditions of his island home helped to keep him almost a stranger where he should have been. He was a strong thing as a son turning against his father is never countenanced, be the son right or wrong.
About this time the writer on a winter vacation arrived in St. Thomas, and having known young Sixto from early childhood, renewed the friendship and saw a great deal of him. A romance existed in the life of the youngster at St. Thomas, and he heard him with him the sorrows he felt. This young lady was the favorite of a wealthy grocer, and soon rumors were set afloat that Suarez or Sixto was but an adventurer seeking the gold of the grocer via a marriage with the daughter. How true this was we do not know, but the young couple clung closer together through it all. Some time later Sixto left the island and went to New York to grocer for his daughter's hand, and when next we heard of him it was through the columns of the New York daily papers.
It would seem that after years of silence the young fellow did marry or sought to marry a white European woman. A certain minster, not far from the Amsterdam News office, can supply better information on this sub-surface, where the story was played up for all it was with the time, much to the embarrassment of Sixto. It was about this time that he decided to be "Cecilio Suarez" A SPANIARD. As such he "went white" and was lost to the few colored friends who knew him. Unless we are very much mistaken, he was a pope and travelled extensively. It was a motion picture operation, the art of motion picture operation, running to this country and working in some of the biggest theatres on Broadway. As one who had "gone over" Harlem (the colored section at least), knew him not, but we have it from certain underground chinmels that he was "discovered" and left the city. We know him, but when next we heard of him he was in Philadelphia. During the Sesquil-Centennial in that

city, his father represented the Virginia islands with certain products from the merchants in the islands. It was about that time that he arrived at the Amsterdam News office one day and announced that he planned to remain here. With recommendations from us he became a member of the Colored Warfare Operators and entered the fight while being trained by the Lafayette Theatre. During the time pickets were thrown around this house, and through all the bitterness that prevailed when Negroes sought to enjoy the same rights and pay as union operators in what we know as theatre, Suites, or Sifto if you must be remained in the ranks of the fighters.
But even during the fight he showed the effects of the training he had received in Europe and what experience he had acquired while living in this country, for it was at that time he had seen motion picture advertising campaign to certain local theatrical managers, an idea which he failed to bring to fruition through lack of backing, although we did see the same idea put into effect later on. Whether he had anything to do with it at the time we do not know, and that of his death he was interested in an advertising concern right here in Harlem.
Months after the victory of the operators he sought and succeeded in retiring placed at the Alhambra Theatre. About two weeks ago his father, who was on residing in Philadelphia, returned to the city, seldom sickness desired to return to his home in the Virgin Islands. The writer is of the opinion that young Sixtus's father cherished a desire to forgive his first born and become reconciled to the son until death took place last week and ultimately death took place last week on his land he had lived, for we have it on land we have lived, for hers of his family in this city knew nothing of his death. He remained Cecilio Suarez to the last, a young man from the islands of the sea, who had travelled in Europe and America and the fast we firmly believe, carried with him the best we firmly believe, carried with him the best we firmly believe, which new faces, new that bitterness interests could not take from his heart.
For the first time it is now generally known that "Cecilio Suarez" was not the name of the quiet, gentlemanly little fellow who threw his fortunes with the Colored Motion Picture Operators. He was not a Stainton, but a Wren, and he was the Viridian and the offspring of Adolph Sixto, lecturer, dramatist and author, and a man who is widely known here and in the islands of the sea.
Stirring Scenes in New Drama at the Roosevelt
Bringing here the color and romance of San Francisco's Barbary Coast, most picturesque waterfront in the world, "Shanghaihel," a Ralph Ince production for FILO, will open at the Roosevelt room on Sunday, Jan. 28, according to an announcement made today by the management of the museum. Salil to be one of the greatest of Ince's pictures, "Shanghaihel" deals with the love of a dancer in a tough waterfront joint for the captain of a sealing vessel. Her unwilling participation in a plot to ruin him and his revenge supply her with intensely dramatic music, and the duplication such wide praise from critics. Many beautiful scenes of the sea, taken far out on the Pacific Ocean beyond the skyline, are incorporated in

Tim Moore and Company
At the Lincoln Theatre
Wherein We Saw Some Restraint That Was Commendable — Here for a
Full Week
Down at the Lincoln Theatre this week the chorus that gave the Alhambra Theatre an opportunity to do some extra advertising can be seen reproducing some of the work which gave the girls a big hand that night of the Florence Mills Memorial Fund benefit when they ran away with the honors. Most noticeable about the work done by the chorus was the extra effort brought to certain dance numbers where they enjoy, if ever a chorus did, an opportunity to cut loose in huh-hula dancing that is very commendable. In this day and time, when the theatres in Negro communities leave hardly anything to the imagination, it is refreshing to find a good-looking bunch of young women supposedly in the South to perform the famous gigs covering, singing "Hawaiian numbers," and not going the limit.
Tim Moore dominates the comedy end, ably assisted by Mantan. On Monday night, when we saw the show, the court room, when we curried the expectant judge, Tim Moore his old role, the judge, but it was apparently too long and pulled somewhat. All in all, the entertainment is more wholesome than what we have been seeing for some years. We are noticing the variations of the剧院 in this community that audiences are not responding so readily to the suggestive in song and dance as they used to do. Splendid sign. Producers will have to think of other things that may be relevant to any appeal, even though it is the pokes who craved it. Too much of anything so got on the nerves.
Hollywood Now Moved to Harlem
The Savoy Ballroom announces its "Night in Hollywood," next Saturday night, January 28. Extensive arrangements have been made with a leading company to fit out the Savoy with a complete moving picture studio, including magnificent scenery, the glaring lights, the actors, and a bevy of beautiful movie queens. The stage will be all set to make a complete picture of the Savoy and all its beauties, most important of which will be its many patrons on that night, who will have their pictures to the last person, no one excepted.
In addition to the thrills that will come to many as a result of seeing for the first time how pictures are made, a special strip of moviegraphics taken lightly and then taken and presented to them. Thus hundreds of Harlemites will, for the first time in their lives, see how they look on the screen.
Quite an idea, this "Night in Hollywood," and one that should interest a many persons, which we predict will.
In view of the admission charge which is the same low price as usual, there is no reason why anyone can afford a miss this treat. Next Summer, you can enjoy the light, enjoyable one, so spruce up and prepare yourself for the silver screen.
Mills Fund Benefit in California a Big Success
Have you, the realters, noticed that every week there is a news bit from the Florence Mills Theatrical Association. The Association is sleeping and the memoirs are being published. Their next prospective benefit will be in Washington, D.C. on February 12. By special wre news has come of the benefit staged on January 16 in Los Angeles by the Inimitable Bill (Bloomberg) and the Florence Mills Memorial Fund. It was a huge success. On the bill that played to a packed house were such artists as the movie stars Lew Cody, Ruth Roland and Winn Desmond; our old friends Moss and Ne, with the favor of Wallace, John Steele, Jack Redmond, Bert Lovy, Ruth Mende, Bennie Rubin and dozens more, even to the Chinese Le Feng Quartet. Of course, on the spot was Dot Strat, whose personal assistance and members from his company Bilo augmented the night's success.
The Association and officers beg us to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Curtis W. Carpenter, manager, Lincoln Theatre, for the donation of the theatre and the support given the benefit by the management. Again "Bo" has shown himself more cheer or of the theatre is concerned. There will be another meeting of the Association called at the Lafayette Theatre this week.
Sam Wooding's Band at the Lafayette Next Week
Of all colored bands, Sam Woodling's is undoubtedly one of the most widely known. Its fame is not limited to these United States, for Woodling and his entertainers have travelled all over the country, achieving success at the highest crowds and all over crowds of Europe and in every theatre of prominence from England to Australia. Since their return to America, they have appeared at the Capitol Theatre and will have their next appearance at the Capitol Theatre, with render the music for Clarence Robinson's new hit "On the Air." A very excellent cast will take part in this revue. Brown and McGraw, two of the finest dancers on the stage, Jean and Sean and Edith and Jadie head the cast. Robinson also announces that some of the best known radio stars will appear and for this reason he calls the revue "On the Air."
The picture, and the depletion of life on the Barrington Coast is said to be the most realistic ever filmed.
Ince acted in the dual capacity of star and director and has a supporting cost, to many famous players, in Patty Snyder, Mike Brooks, and others.
Wen Talkert's Band Scores
One of Best Aggregations of Entertainers at the
A touch of Broadway's night clubs, a touch of Columbian burlesque, a touch of the best of Keith vanvaleville, a touch of chorus dancing as only colored girls can dance and a touch of jazz music as only a colored orchestra can play—these are the elements from which this week's show at the Lafayette Theatre are built. The result is one of the most ever present instruments which has ever been presented on Monday's matinee started at the clock, but the supper was cold on many a table before the audience left the theatre and the company was weary from more encores than any company has yet been called upon to render.
Wen Talbert, his band and entertainers, head the cast of the revue which is entitled "Hero We Are." Mr. Talbert's aggregation has not been East for a long time, and he welcomes. His band played with smoothness and pep. We predict that Talbert's band will be heard from in this part of the country. In addition to his twelve musicians, Talbert also presented Miss Leitha Hill and a miniature company of two wonderful dancing girls. Talbert was the star of last year's show at the Cotton Club. Her two songs met with an ovation from the audience.
Brown and Jones, Buster Newman, Billy Thurill, Kilty Aublanchon, Spencer Barnes and Mitty Howard took a scene part in the court room. Two scenes in a hotel, the courtroom and the other in a hotel, brought round after round of laughter. Cliff and Radcliffe, on leave of absence from their vaudeville tour, scored a real hit. Radcliffe is the owner of a remarkable tenor dance and his West Indian dance ensemble audience into convulsions of laughter. Cliff is also a splendid entertainer. This team is one of the finest on the vaudeville stage today and their addition to the cast of the show helped them. The chorus of fourteen girls performed faulelessly. The beauty of their numbers is enhanced by the most gorgeous scenery which has over appeared on the stage of the Lafayette Theatre. Two numbers, especially—with "Splitters," met with hearty amphibious.
The picture part of the program also deserves mention. The feature picture is "The Life of Riley," starring Charlie Murray and George Silney. Riley is a fireman and Silney is a grocer. Both are in love with one beautiful widow. The picture story of their courtship is one of the funniest ever filmed.
Many Laughs at the Alhambra Theatre This Week
Sim Thompson brings a new type of numer, added and abutted by Billy Gulfport and George W. Cooper. Anne Freeman and Artie McGlinty have a biliarious new act at the Alhambra Theatre. Howard Jowery and Marty Hopkins win applause with their dancing, singing and piano diversion. Sterling Grant, Dolle Ress, Kittle Browne and little Janet White all are singing favorites. A laugh novelty is the act of Foolish, which is which, as the act consists of two men, a trick dog and a lively bucking mute. Everybody roars at their funny anties. Of course that new chorus of poppy young beauties takes many honors. Be a royal good time at the midnight show Wednesday. The photophy feature presents Owen Moore, always popular, in "Go Straight."
Chaney's Newest Coming To the Douglas Theatre
The motion picture has supplied the latest step in the evolution of the modern detective story. Perhaps the most popular form of fiction, the detective romance, which has gone through a major revival in the form of poetry or other forms of literature, has now reached its ultimate on the screen. Lon Chaney, "Man of a Thousand Faces," presents the ultra-modern detective story on the screen in his latest Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer vehicle, London Lon. The story is told by the modern mystery of the scientific detective, together with a strange setting and amazing plot in which incursions into the great. Beyond, spiritism and ghost lore, the with modern science to the Doughnut Theatre, perhaps the most weird Chaney has ever been seen in. Chaney in the new picture plays a Scotland Yard detective, who employs hypnotism to solve an amazing plot choked up by the "aparitions," vampire ghosts and the ghost of a "hunted" English manor house.
Intriguing Pola Negri at The Lincoln This Week
Pola Negri in a truly feminine role, one of the great emotional roles that has helped to make her, again distinguishes herself in a picture that interprets the heart of a woman.
The "Woman On Trial," which is now at the Lincoln Theatre, is a powerful drama in which two intrigues merge to create an astounding climax.
The other Negri starring pictures is missing in her latest effort. Instead she portrays a wistful, sympathetic character, that of a woman who sacrifices her own love-life to wed a man of wealth.
It also shows Pola as a woman who lives only for her child, never dreaming that happiness with the man she really loves is to her hers some day.
Almost always just. Arent there some causes which might justify a verdict of "Innocent."
Pola Negri does some of the most unurpleting acting of her career as the heroine of this thrilling drama as the woman who dared to do—and did.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan. 23.—(UNS) -Bushy Balloon, one of the few Negro actors in moving pictures, has a part in support of Bobby Vornon in the latex Paramount-Christie two-colored刻本 "Save the Pieces." It is a comedy role in which Henry is a boarding house janitor.
New Trend of Negro Art Seen by Writer
PITTSBURGH, Pa. Jan. 20 (PNS)—George Selbel, writing on the appearance of Ethel Waters at the Nixon Theatre in "Africana," says in part: "Miss Waters, a comedienne who has been compared to Raquel Meller, and who seems to be the legitimate successor to the late Florence Mills, is the leading feature."
"We have become accustomed to seeing colored performers carry off the honors in white productions. Earlier this season, when Weather Clear, Track Fast' was given at the Nixon, Buck and Bubbles, two colored comedians and dancing artists, showed that they had more magnetism than Willard Mack's melodrama or Joe Laurie's comedy work. In 'Golden Dawn' and 'Show Boat' colored singers scored the biggest hits. Several vaudeville turns of real black-face have been above the average.

There is a tradition that did so learned the valiant Edmund's tradition that his father was a preacher Ira was sent to Edinburgh to sit the stage.
"Aldridge played Othello often seemed as Aaron the Moor in Shake-Itus Andronicus' and in Southcourt was a favorite with Kean and Junz Preszemo about exhausted the repentance with his limited possibilities from the rulers of Russia, Austria and so enormous audiences.

"Of course, the Negro on the stage is nothing new. One of the strongest rivals of the great Edmund Kean and the famous elder Booth was Ira Frederick Aldridge, a tragedian known as 'the African Roscius'. Aldridge appeared in Bolfast as Otello, with Kean as Iago, and Kean praised him highly. There is a tradition that he was Kean's valet in his youth and so learned the valiant Edmund's words and ways. But there's another tradition that his father was a preacher in a New York Negro church, and that Ira was sent to Edinburgh to study for the ministry, but drifted upon the stage.
"Aldridge played Othello oftener than any other part, but also appeared as Aaron the Moor in Shakespeare's blood-and-thunder tragedy of "Titus Andronicus" and in Southern's tragedy of "Oroonoko", which also was a favorite with Kean and Junius Brutus Booth. Zanga, Rolla and Orezembo about exhausted the repertoire available for a black tragedian, but with his limited possibilities Aldridge managed to get decorations from the rulers of Russia, Austria and Prussia, besides playing in Brussels to enormous audiences.

"But there is record of an all-black company appearing in New York City about 1920 or 1921. An old play bill advertises 'The African Company,' which is to appear at the 'Theatre in Mercer street, rear of the One Mile Stone on Broadway.' There is no other trace of this company or this theatre, but it is supposed to have been a troupe of amateurs, who arrived on the scene a century too soon. Our Negro minstrels, of course, were not originated by Negroes, in fact, the credit is usually given to Gottlieb Graumpner, whose name smacks of the Rhine rather than the Congo. "That the Negroes should devote themselves to the musical stage is natural, although Eugene O'Neill gave one of their fine actors an opportunity to win fame in 'The Emperor Jones.' Music is a field in which the Negro has always excelled. Just about the best tenor appearing in concert today is Roland Hayes, a Negro.

"So we see that the black race has a creditable background of achievement in music and drama. The Harmon Foundation has just awarded prizes and medals to sixteen Negro men and women for distinguished work in the arts and sciences—the literary prize going to James Weldon Johnson for God's Trombones' a volume of poems; in music to Clarence Cameron White, a gifted violinist and composer. The Negro is carving a niche for himself in every art, including drama. This week reveals how far Ethel Waters qualifies to take the place of the late Florence Mills. When Florence Mills died a month or two ago she was mourned as sincerely as Mansfield and Irving at their passing. It looks as if the race which has given to art a Henry Assaww Tanner, to oratory a Frederick Douglas, to poetry a Paul Laurence Dunnar, and to education a Booker T. Washington is destined to make a notable contribution to the new American drama."

Harlem's Fast Chorus Coming Back Next Week
Next week has as an important event the home-coming to the Alhambra Theatre of Tim Moore, Slim Henderson, Wantan, Amanda Randolph, George Green and by all means that famous dancing chorus, the Alhambra Girls. The popular Harlem troupe has been making a triumphal tour, and the inquiries have been numerous. Many news outlets have been at the news that the Alhambra Girls are coming back to their own theatre. Much preparation is going on to make the home-coming a gay event. They will appear next Monday in a new musical called appropriately called "Harlem's Darling." Success hasn't turned the hands of those merry troupe. They keep as busy as ever devise new comedy, singing and dancing features to spring on the Harlem "home folks" next week.

Keeping Fit
By E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS, M.D.
A CARBUNCLE is both painful and serious. I have known people who died from complications of this cousin to a boil. These serious complications are spreading septic thrombosis, pyemia, septicemia. This occurs when pus germs or a small piece of necrotic tissue from the carbuncle breaks away from the affected area and gets into the circulation and injures vital organs, such as the heart or brain.
A carbuncle is more than a boll. It is a circumscribed pus inflammation of the deeper layers of the skin and of the subcutaneous tissues. There is also a fibrinous exudation and many areas of necrosis and gangrene frequently develop in the tissues adjacent to each necrotic plug. In other words, a carbuncle is a boll with multiple cores.
Confidences
Questions and Answers
By EGYPSY ANN
Don't Be Too Friendly, Girls!
This most painful condition is found most frequently on the nape of the neck, the back between the shoulder blades, the buttocks, and sometimes on the face and lips. In these areas the skin is tough and thick and is bound to the underlying fascia by strong fibrous bands in such a way as to form a series of intercommunicating cavities, just like a honeycomb.
The carbuncle starts by the outer skin having an abrasion or a cut. The abrasion or cut may be so small as not to be noticed. Infection occurs through this injured skin. The germ causing the infection is the staphylococcus pyogenes aureus. This same germ is the cause of ordinary bolls or skin infections. Carbuncles occur most frequently in those people who are debilitated from other causes or diseases such as old age, diabetes, Bright's disease or other exhausting diseases. The appearance of a carbuncle should always be the indication of an exhaustive physical examination, together with the examination of the urine for sugar or albumin.
Because of the complications which may accompany a carbuncle, the proper treatment is indeed very important. The indications for the treatment are the relief of the tention in which the pus is held, after the removal of the dead tissue.
other subjects.
a carbuncle is bad treatment and is fraught with danger. Lancing a carbuncle does not give the relief and chance for a cure as it does in a simple boil. Because of the anatomical construction of the carbuncular tissue, four surgical incisions around the carbuncle like the spokes of a wheel are necessary. This divides the affected area into four sections. Each sector so formed is undercut with an incision parallel to the skin. In this way flaps are made, which can be raised up and all the infected honeycomb areas allowed to have a free escape of pus. The remainder of treatment is surgical dressings with sterile gauze soaked in some germicide solution.
A carbuncle is a serious disease, and should not be treated by grandma or aunties or mother with soap, sugar or flaxseed or poultices. There is no sense in having a fatal result from a carbuncle when this could be prevented by the proper surgical procedure.
WHITE WOMAN REPLIES TO LOTHROP STODDARD
That all white Americans do not share the views of Lothrop Stoddard is evidenced by the challenging article by Grace Richardson in The Messenger for January. The paper entitled "What Of It" is a very masterly arraignment of the prominent Negrophobist, who recently reaffirmed his racial bias in a debate with Prof. Alain Leroy Locke in The Forum.

Don't Be Too Friendly, Girls!
It is natural for many of us to be more or less friendly toward people with whom we come in contact. However, there are many people who make it their business to take advantage of kindness.
Harlem is full of strangers: people who room here one minute and there the next; men and women whose pasts are totally unknown to us. It is of those people that we must beware.
Just the other day a girl told me that she went to a dance with a fellow whom she didn't know, but one who worked where she did. He insisted on holding her pocketbook and then because she wouldn't comply with his wishes, after the dance he kept it. In it were several dollars which she had earned at work that particular day. Rather than cause a lot of disturbance and have her name connected with his, she kept quiet. We don't know the workings of people's minds. Many of us don't conceive of the fact that there are a number of people who are low and dirty enough to do any cowardly thing. Try not to measure people by their looks and clever tongue. Remember, they are only part of the game.
He Snores in Church!
Dear Egypty Ann:
Please don't think my problem is a foolish one. It is getting to be a very serious matter to me.
My husband goes to sleep every Sunday morning in church. To make matters worse, he oftimes snores, and when I poke him to wake up he usually asks, louder than necessary, what the trouble is.
Of course, this is very embarrassing to me. What do you suggest?
Sincerely.
Dear D:
I imagine the best way to keep him from snoring would be to keep him awake. That's no easy task, I know, especially if the sermon is long and dry.
Anyhow, you might make a little bet with him that you know he'll go to sleep in church next Sunday morning. Promise him something he wants very much.
Or, you might get all your friends to tease him mercilessly. Ask Deacon Smith and Deaconess Brown and Sister Jones and Brother Jackson to comment one after the other on the terrible racket that comes from his direction. That ought to shame him.
Or, you could pretend sleeping yourself one Sunday morning. Nothing keeps a person more wide awake than trying to keep another person from sleeping.
Try some of these suggestions. I'm sure one of them ought to work:
Best wishes from EGYPSY ANN.

Know New York State
The last record of wild turkeys in New York State goes back to 1844, when they were reported in five counties. These birds were at one time common throughout the State. Spaghetti and hot-dogs were both introduced to America in New York City, and both first appeared on a large scale in 1892, the year John L. Sullivan lost to James J. Corbett. In the New York City public library is kept one of the world's rarest literary treasures. It is the only surviving copy of the first two-leaved edition of Columbus's own account of his discovery of America. There were incorporated in New York State in 1927 more than 25,000 new stock companies, a new high record. Corporations of the State last year had a net income of nearly three billion dollars
The first important showing of motion pictures took place at the old Manhattan Opera House in New York City on April 27, 1896. There were two reels, one a "spernentine dance" and one of waves. New York City now has 115,000 employees, a number equal to the permanent military establishment of the United States.
Negro Musicians Win Signal Laurels
Violinist
The recent centenary of Beethoven's death has brought again to the attention of the musical world the name of George Augustus Bridgegutts mulatto violinist, with whom the master first played the famous "Kreutzer" sonata in Vienna. Since that date there have periodically appeared violinists of Negro ancestry who have attracted unusual strenthe
About 1765 there appeared in Paris Chevalier de Saint-George, a West Indian, a pupil of Lecalier, who gained renown both as a violinist and composer. Some years later Brindles d'Sales, another mutuat of the West Indies, became a great-favorite and court violinist to the King of Spain. Following d'Sales, Joseph White, a Cuban violinist of Negro blood, became a prize pupil of Alard and succeeded him as professor at the Paris conservatory.
Joseph White, who was at one time court violinist of the Emperor Don Pedro of Brazil, is said to have been an admirable interpreter of the classics. He died in Paris in 1915. The late Coleridge-Taylor first became known in London as a violinist, and now, following this bright galaxy of violinists, America has given us Clarence Cameron White, who first attracted attention as a gifted violinist while a student at the Cherlin Conservatory of Music.
Supplementing his studies at Oberlin, Mr. White spent several years in Europe as a private pupil of M. Zacharewitsch, the famous Russian violinist, and studied composition with Coleridge-Taylor. Since his return to America, Mr. White has gained an enviable reputation both as violin soloist and composer—being conceded to be the most finished violinist of American birth.

How far right these circumstances were, what questions of expediency may have dictated the amendments, is beside the point with which we are immediately concerned—that important changes in a constitution (itself written by Americans, according to testimony brought out during the Senate investigation of affairs in Hawaii) are first proposed, without exciting a ripple of comment in this country and later passed by a so-called popular vote, and all so quietly that the writer was put to some trouble to find anyone who could confirm the fact that a vote had actually been taken and the amendments passed!
Article 16 of the old constitution, granting freedom of speech, was modified to read "freedom of the press is guaranteed, subject to conditions determined by law." As there has been no legislature in Haiti since the American occupation, the government, consisting of the Haitian President and Council of State, acting in conjunction with the American High Commissioner and the other treaty officials, this clause, it is asserted, would leave regulation of the press to such measures as the President and High Commissioner saw fit to pass.

Justice for Illegitimates
ALREADY the laws of some states recognize "common law marriages," and not long ago a young clergyman of the Episcopal Church openly predicted that the church will be called upon to give recognition of "unmarried unions," which means the same as "common law marriages."
Of course, no right-thinking or right-meaning person would countenance the association of sexes out of wedlock. This would mean the destruction of the marriage institution, surrender to "free love," and such promiscuous sex association as would destroy the home, and with it the civilization of which we boast.
Yet, while it is unthinkable that this should be done, it is an imperative demand of justice and necessity that provision should be made for the children which result from these unlawful unions. Here is the argument:
1. The illegitimate children are

criminal cases and in cases involving political offenses and those committed by the press," is changed to read, "trial by jury is established in criminal prosecutions in those cases specified by law." The critics assert these two clauses taken together would make it possible for jury trial to be denied to those accused of having offended in the press.
Changes in Judiciary
The amendment referring to the judiciary restricts the terms of Supreme Court judges from life to ten years, and while stating that "once judges are appointed they are not subject to revocation by the Executive," adds, "however, the judges continue to be subject to . . . special legislation which will determine the causes for removing them from office."
This clause, the critics say, virtually puts the judiciary under the control of the President. Moreover, the amendments contain the provision that "for a period of twelve months following the adoption of these amendments the Executive is authorized to make changes in the present personnel of the courts which he deems necessary."
Another interesting feature of the situation is that while the reason given for the failure to permit the Haitian people to hold an election for a legislature is their political incapacity for such an election, the constitution itself was passed by a popular vote, under the supervision of American marines, and it was by a similar popular vote that the present amendments were made law.

just as much the children of these parents as are the legitimate ones, and as such have certain inallen-able rights.
3. Such children had nothing to do with their birth and, of course, could be in no wise responsible.
3. They are entitled to care, education, and training, which, as a general thing, such mothers cannot afford.
4. Because of the attitude of society toward them they are more in need of support and protection than the others.
5. Since these children will come in contact with other children and will influence them, the interests of society would demand what they not be abandoned.
6. If they are trampled and abused, realizing the injustice of this attitude toward them they will become enemies of society, and seeking revenge they will resort to lawlessness and crime.
Now comes the question: What should be done? What, in justice to them and to society, can oe done to ameliorate their condition? The answer is that they should be given legal status on par with legitimate children. To make it plain, fathers of illegitimate children should be compelled to support them. The illegitimate should be recognized as legal heirs on par with the legitimate ones. Anything less than this is palpable; cruel, unreasonable injustice to a class of helpless unfortunate, who are not responsible for their misfortune.

Indecision and Indefiniteness
In the Negro's philosophy of life, and in his scheme of economical adjustment, evasion, indecision and indefulteness have too large a part. And they prove destructive to his highest and best interests.
It is difficult to persuade the average Negro to reach a decision or to make a positive promise. Some habitual expressions are: "I don't know"; "I think so"; "I reckon so"; "I guess so"; "I hope so"; "Perhaps so"; "Maybe I will"; "I will if nothing happens." These expressions are used when the individual is undecided, or when he decides not to commit himself because he does not intend to do what is requested of him, and yet he is not frank enough to make a positive refusal or positive denial. In no connection is the Negro's characteristic vagueness and indefiniteness more maniest than in his preference of hymns or religious songs. He prefers those which deal in generalities and are manifestly indefinite.
"What are they doing in heaven?" is very popular, but as foolish as it is popular. To us who are struggling down here, it matters little what they are doing in heaven. Moreover, who on earth can ever answer such a question? Then, what is there in such a song to inspire and help? Another favorite is, "Will there be any stars in my crown?" Using stars as figurative of reward for service, who can answer? Who can tell whether he or others will "endure to the end," and be entitled to stars?
In some of the churches "Beautiful lifes" is taboo because of its indefineness, but among us it is still exceedingly popular. "Where shall I be?" belongs in the catalogue of indefineness. Again I ask, who can answer this question? The first verse reads: "When judgment day is drawing nigh, where shall I be?" If this refers to the body, the question is answered, for we shall be in the grave. If it means where the body shall be buried; no one can tell. If it has reference to the soul, no one can tell whether he or anyone else shall be in sheol or in Paradise. Since it cannot be decided, since the matter is decided when we die, why get happy over the question "WHERE?" Then there is the foolish, evasive, indefinite, illogical "I'll overcome some day." The first verse reads: "This world is one great battlefield
With forces all arrayed;
If in my heart I do not yield,
I'll overcome some day."
This is idiotic. If I am fighting,
of course, I'll overcome if I do not
yield. But why put off the victory?
Why wait to "overcome
some day?" Better to struggle and
win today!
Let us away with this spirit of
vagueness, indecision and indefiniteness and face life's problems
and its struggles and solve and overcome today!
Ethiopian Anthem
A copyright dispatch to the New York Herald Tribune from London says that the sedate law Lords of Privy Council displayed unusual interest in music Thursday when what was described as the "universal Ethiopian anthem" was recited in connection with an appeal from the Supreme Court of British Honduras. The so-called African national hymn follows:
Ethiopia, the land of our fathers,
Thou land where the gods love to be.
As the storm clouds at night sudden gather,
Our arms come rushing to thee.
We must in the fight be victorious
When swords are thrust outward to glean;
For us will the victory be glorious
When led by the Red, Black and Green.
Viscount Haldane of Cloan asked Gavin Simonds, the appealing counsel, who quoted the verses, also to sing the tune, but the barrister failed to give the musical half.
Negro History Week Begins February 5

It is, therefore, important that a card shall be discreetly sent upon its embassy.

Your Horoscope BY THEARCHER
Jan. 25 promises a very interesting birthyear for nearly all of the people of today. It seems doubtful if there will be many dull moments. There will be some interesting developments in romance, especially among business associates, but it does not seem as if the happiness will be permanent. In fact, it is best that these people do not mix business and love, especially the ladies. Travel will absorb much of the time of many of the people of today, and those who must travel as part of the employment will profit. News of the illness of someone will come to many, although there seems to be an ultimate benefit from that news. This is a jolly good year as a whole and these people should be able to advance their interest much.
Jan. 26 brings a birthyear that requires much care and attention to employment and business for success and the people of today should be much more careful to avoid romantic affairs with business associates. These people should be particularly careful to avoid criticism, especially concerning their social conduct. The financial aspect is favorable. Jan. 27 indicates a birthyear full of change and travel, as well as many opportunities. Great affairs will enter into the year for many. Success will not be difficult to attain, although the health may not be as good as it could be. The people of today who follow artistic professions are likely to take a voyage in connection with their art.
Jan. 28 is a birthday that favors the people of today in many ways; in inheritance, in promotion, and by their own efforts. A voyage is indicated. Those who mix business and love will bring some worry and concern into an otherwise good year, but will have only themselves to blame.
Jan. 29 brings a birthyear that repeats the old refrain: "Do not mix business with love." Those who do will certainly have trouble that kicks worse than dynamite. The year will bring many good things, especially if attention is paid to work and business. The little love god, Cupid, certainly will help the people of this date to have an eventful birthyear—on my, yes!
Jan. 30 brings many important affairs into the birthyear for the people of today, especially for those who are connected with public professions, although many obstacles and much opposition will follow. The marriage partner may offer strong opposition, but the people of today who can endure the position with fortitude and strive for advancement will be well repaid in the end.
Jan. 31 begins a birthyear that is favorable, financially and socially. Many will hear of the sickness of some elderly person who is close to those of this date in some way. The aspects favor employment and business. These people can do much to advance their interests by close attention to the affairs in hand. Romance has a better aspect for these people, but they need not forego discretion.
The people of this group are all adversely aspected by. Neptune.
But Gus, as he is familiarly called by all the officials, clerks and flapper stenogs in the building, does not mind this. He finds time to sing, some time to croon a weird but lingering tune, as he makes notation of the "cases." "I sing for the love of it, not for the material," he said, as he admitted why he sings so much. Most of his vocal practice is done right there in the office while he handles the records of the dead. Foreign languages? Italian, French and German are the ones in which he sings. Russo of Carnegie Hall was his first teacher. Later he studied with Otto Bohanan. Until a year ago Gus was a pupil of Glenn M. Stark of the Renshaw Opera Company of Chicago. It is Stark who changed him from a baritone to a tenor.
For four months Mr. Simpson has been tenor soloist at Rush Memorial Methodist Church, West 137th street. At one time he sang at Ebanezer Baptist Church in
A too profuse use of visiting cards indicates crudity. The trend of fashion is toward restricting the quantity of pasteboard and employing cards always when they are required, never when they are superfluous.
A few years ago fashion demanded that all visiting cards expressing or acknowledging social civilities should be left in person, the alternative in emergencies being to send them by the hand of a private messenger, never through the post office. There was good excuse for this fashion in our grandmother's day, when the post was a slow coach, or a storm-stayed postillon. But the admirable system of our postal service today leaves no excuse for quick delivery.
When cards are left or sent: Personal cards should be left after a first hospitality, whether accepted or not; calls of condolence; after-dinner calls by cards. Cards of condolence or sympathy are left as soon as possible after learning of the bereavement or affliction. If in_town, you should leave cards in person or send them by a messenger with a message. If out of town, your card is sent by the first post. Nothing is written upon these cards. A visiting card with "congratulations" written upon it is sent to felicitate a friend upon any happy event in which friends may share. When a man calls and sees his hostess, but not the host, he should leave a card for the latter. If the hostess is not at home, two cards should be left.
When a man entertains formally, each man invited, whether he accepts or not, should acknowledge the courtesy within a week. He may call in person, or leave a card, or send a card by mail, or write a note of thanks, whichever he prefers. When a man calls upon a woman while she is the guest of a friend with whom he is not acquainted, he inquires for both his friend and her hostess, and, as he is a stranger in the house, he sends up a card for each. After a change of residence, or after a prolonged absence from home, cards of the entire family are to establish an acquaintance of their re-establishment and of their readiness to resume the social interchange. It is customary for the younger society men to pay a round of calls after returning from the usual summer vacation, or in lieu of a call.
When leaving for a long absence, or when parting from new but agreeable acquaintances, such as companion tourists, etc., when time does not permit farewell calls, visiting cards are sent by post with "P. P. C." (to take written) written upon them.
and this causes them to incur opposition and disagreements from the marriage partner, or deceit and treachery in love affairs apart from marriage. Any contract should be signed only after thoughtful deliberation, or these people will find themselves at a disadvantage. Those who give in business should avoid partnerships if possible. Venus is adversely aspected in the twelfth house of the people of this group, and will cause much distress and self undoing to those who are not careful and conventional in their love affairs. Neptune imparts an unconventional attitude and Venus proceeds to prove that the attitude is all wrong.

In his report presented, to the Board of Directors of the Brooklyn Urban League-Lincoln Settlement, Inc., at its annual meeting last Monday, the Executive Secretary, Robert J. Elzy, told of the interesting work done by this organization last year.
"During July and August the League sent about 250 boys and girls through the Tribune Fresh Air Fund and the Christian Herald away for two weeks' vacation at camps or in private homes in Vermont and New Lampshire. Many mothers and babies were also sent away for two weeks.
"For the first time since the opening of the Lincoln Settlement in 1907 we are now in a position to carry on a comprehensive program of boys' work. Working with the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities and the Brooklyn City Mission Society we have secured the building at 377 Hudson avenue, and as soon as alterations are completed it will be opened as a boys' club with a full time director and assistant. The alterations include gymnasium, showers, lockers, clubrooms, etc. The gymnasium will have one of the best basketball courts in Brooklyn. This club will open soon after February 1st.
"A few days ago, at a public meeting in New York, Mr. Helbing. Superintendent of the House of Refuge on Randall's island, made the statement that the number of colored boys has increased from 15 per cent two years ago to 20 boys; the present time, Mrs. Helbing, our counsel, told us that he closing of the Children's Village at Chauncey to colored boys, making it necessary to send colored boys under 4 to the House of Refuge. Mr. Helbing felt that this was partly responsible, but that notwithstanding that the number of colored cases is on the increase, he stressed the need of greater activity on the part of churches, welfare agencies and more supervised recreation. We feel that the opening of the boys' club at Hudson avenue will offer from 200 boys a type of recreation that will make the streets and ensen their chances for becoming defensible.
"Mrs. Burge reports 190 cases handled in the 'Children's Court,' of which 27 were delinquent boys and girls, the remainder being neglected children. the fact that only 63 cases of neglected children came before the court does not mean that these are decreasing, but that last year, unlike the previous years, all cases involving desituation referred to. Department of Public Welfare, leaving only cases involving morals for the Children's Courts. Burge was a member of a committee that made a study of delinquent and neglected Negro children whose report was published last year and out if which a permanent committee was formed, with the hope of getting the legislature to provide some institution or committing Protestant colored boys and girls to refuge. Refuge they come into contact with the older and hardened criminal element.
"We have been asked by the chief probation officer of the Magistrate's Court to help them supervise the colored women who appear in court because he felt that a colored person could get further with these women than a white probation officer. Since we do not have a worker available for the leading ministers of Brooklyn to take the lead in raising the funds necessary to secure a trained worker who will take over this work and work under the supervision of the league. Several ministers have promised their aid.
"Mrs. Keelan, our case worker, denotes three days each week to work with the Brooklyn Juvenile Protective Association in handling the boy and girl problems in the public schools. We also meet every week to discuss $1 children in nine public schools and reported that her most important work was to give the teachers a picture of the conditions out of which many of the colored problem children come. The migrant children are not coming in as great numbers as they came in, and these who came then are adjusting to a large degree into the life of northern schools. Unfortunately, they do not get much help at home. The great difficulty is that both parents must work, because economically this group is in a lower scale than other groups. Quite different, they are also the other mother stays at home with her children. This lack of parental care makes for many of the problems.
"For the past eighteen months we have maintained an industrial department with Mr. Dean S. Yarbrough as secretary. The purposes of this department are the status of colored workers by securing better jobs for them and more opportunities for advancement in their present positions, to give vocational guidance, collect information and statistics on colored workers and to do free employments. During the past year Mr. Yarbrough worked for 1,040 workers, which included many positions not previously held by Negroes. A study made among the first 500 industrial establishments showed 108 of them employing 56,469 workers, of whom 54.4 were whites and 1,551 colored. The colored workers were employed in one of 56 of these establishments without any Negroes. We are now working on the remaining 50 establishments, with the hope of getting them to employ Negroes. It is significant to note that 41.5 per cent of the firms now having colored begun using them with the first experience of these and their first experience with colored within the last two years.
"Things for this year include continued efforts to get greater opportunities for colored workers with public utilities, salesmen with medium and low-priced automobile items and clarkes in stores in earth is predominantly colored."

Brooklyn Y. W. C. A.
The Merry Makers' Club, of which Miss Hattie Williams is adjuvant, is promoting its own "Hook a Month" Club. One of its new ideas for 1923 was to buy a book of interest to girls each month, to discuss this book in club meetings and to give it to the Girl Reserve Department of the Y. W. C. A. W. Club for January 1923. Our Campfire Club is added in addition to the intrinsic interest of this book the girls are eager to possess it because its author, Miss Weddell, is Metropolitan Girl Reserve secretary of the Brooklyn Young Women's Christian Association and also a member of the National Stiff. The first book presentation will be made by Renee Richardson, the Director of the Women's Christian Association and guests are urged to be at the "Y" promptly for the annual meeting and dinner Friday evening, January 27, at six o'clock.

Harten's Case Is Dismissed
Rev. Dr. Thomas S. Harten, pastor, Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., who was arrested on January 12 for going to the defence of a colored woman, who is alleged to have been struck by a police officer, was entirely injured in the incident. Monday morning, Congressman Emmuel Celler, 51 Worth Street, New York City, who is a warm friend of Dr. Harten, as soon as he learned of his arrest, offered his services to Dr. Harten. Dr. Harten was not even called to the court, as he called the arresting officer to the sound and as soon as he made his charge the Rev. Harten was discharged.
Dr. Harten will be recalled as the principal speaker before President Coolidge on Feb. 14, 1927, in behalf of the officers who were in Fede al prison at the court. The officer who them have been released, he is the only colored man who has been selected three times to appear before the President as the principal speaker of the occasion.
Dr. Zina Brinson, the woman who was struck by the police officer was found guilty of assault. She is held three days for investigation before the judge will render his decision.
Men Charged With Working Confidence Game Freed
Owing to the over-zenithous on the part of two detectives to make an arrest, two men escaped the grip of the law a few days ago, noticing to police records that they were Albert Chelton, 40, St. Niles, N.Y., and Richard Robinson, of 216 West 149th street, Manhattan. They were charged with attempting to work a confidence game on the Rev. Richard Parker of 45 Sumptier street, according to the police, the men approached the Rev. Mr. Parker, telling him they were "just from the Suth" and wanted advice as to putting their money in a safe bank. At the same time they displayed what seemed to be a huge bankroll. The men, it is alleged, stated that they had every confidence that the Rev. Mr. Parker of good faith wanted to see if he had any money. The Rev. Mr. Parker stated that he did, but he scented a trick, so he made arrangements to meet the men on Troy avenue. When he reached home he needed police and then returned to meet the men.
Just as he was about to pass over some money, the police say, the detectives arrested the men. But later on, when they were arraigned, the two were discharged for lack of sufficient evidence to hold them.
Local Paper Finds King And Queen for Liberia
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle of Jan. 15 has discovered or created a "king and queen" of Liberia in the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey S. Firestone Jr., white, whom they claim have undertaken to rule the African republic as potentates as an incident to the planting of rubber. It may be recalled that Harvey S. Firestone Sr., the great manufacturer of rubber tires, contracted with the Liberian Government for the use of many square miles of land for the planting of trees to produce rubber. Prior to sailing for Africa on Jan. 14, Mr. Firestone told of the efforts of his company to Americanize the country. He said: "We have set up schools and are building a whole set of roads. Along together we now have 15,000 natives directly under our employ, in addition to our 110 white workers. Eventually we hope to employ 300,000 natives in a great industry for production of the raw material of motorcars. We have installed motion pictures and other forms of healthy and clean amusements. In short, we are building a new country, with Negroes as the chief citizens."
Mrs. Firestone will spend some time in Liberia, her principal work to be devoted to improving the conditions among the babies.

The overproduction of new houses built for white people has given our people an opportunity to purchase, some of the most exclusive seafronts, and islands, and private percclosures, in proportion to the number of buyers, are very rare. About six years ago the old rumor of the advent of colored people deprecating property preceded the large number that took advantage of the opportunity to purchase homes in the fast growing cities in which the companies housed to make loans. Today a different story is being told and the old canard is ancient history. Traveling over Jamaica, it is hard to tell just who occupies those beautiful little homes surrounded by lots of living space, spick and span gardens, and plush plus plush apartments at times interspersed with a little vegetable garden meeting the eye.
The writer recently had the pleasure of meeting John J. Hill, a young man but one of the pioneer brokers who has done well in selling homes to his people. Mr. Hill informed the writer that he recently had an interview with the president of a trust companies in the town, who gladly accepted three applications for building loans and who stated he would gladly accept all he can get.
Bearing out his assertion of the advantages to home seekers in Jamaica, Mr. III submitted the following list of recent sales, which is remarkable when one considers that but a few years back brokers could only dispose of houses in the spring and summer Sold for Sam Chia to Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Haynes of New York City one-family house at 107.11.172nd street; sold for Slrwent Building Corporation, two one-family houses, one to Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Braithwaite of New York City at 105-26 172nd street and one to Mr. and Mrs. Willarty Boots, Jamaica at 105-22 172nd.

With the late William Weir, Mr. Hill has been responsible for disposing of some of the most desirable property in the city. The builders, he informs us, are also giving more consideration to responsible colored brokers and placing in the new houses, everything demanded of them. The builder he says, will be a big one in Jamaica.

ST. THOMAS, V. I., U, S. A-—Somebody tried to throw
a wrench into the works’ in this little island after an airplane
from Porto Rico, just eighty miles away, had circled over the
island, dropping a note to the effect that the landing place
repared for Colonel Charles Lindbergh, due to arrive here on
January 31, was not adequate. .
Matliematical minds got busy, Porto Rico was communi.
cated with, and soon the St. Thomasans discovered that the
landing field in Porto Rico covers an area of 45,000 square
yards, while the field prepared for Lindbergh in St. Thomas
covers ,an atca of 80,000 square yards. Porto Rico was imme
diately given a slap by one of the local papers and it was hint:
ed that the former Spanish possession tried to “crab the works,’
because St. Thomas will be the first place among the outlying
possessions of Uncle Sam to do honor to the “Lone Eagle.”

Rey. Proctor’s “Ten Com
mandments of Tongue’”’
In his sermon at the Nazarene
Congregational Church, Grand
avenue and Lefferts place, Sun-
day morning, the Rev. Dr. Henry
Hugh Proctor gave the following
Ten Commandments on | “The
Abuse of the Tongue":
1, Do not abuse your tongue by
undef-rating the value of human
speech; for there is life and
death in the power of the tongue,
2 Do not abuse your tongue by
indulging in gossip; for they who
gossip are like sewer pipes, con-
veying the disagreeable matter
of the community to those cess-
pools that will receive it.
3, Do not abuse your tongue by
ylelding to the habit of profan-
ity; for the tongue was made for
blessing and not for cursing.
4, Do mot abuse your tongue by
making your enmity for another
under the battery of criticism;
for destructive criticism can only
come from a heart that hates.
5, Do not abuse your tongue by
picking a quarrel with another;
| or the person who nags cannot
claim the beautitude of the
pzacemaker In the home, the
church or the community,
6. Do not abuse your tongue by
being doubletongued; for the
men who talke one way today,
another tomorrow fails to inspire
confidence.
7. Go not abuss your tongue by
fying; for he who Iles is pulling
down’ the very stars out of their
sockets.
8. Do not abuse your tongue by
speaking when you are angry;
for the man who falls to bridle
hia tongue shows that his faith
Is vain.
9, Do not abuse your tongue by
speaking when you ought to hold
your peace; for there are times
when silence is more eloquent
than speech.
10. Do not abuse your’ tongue
by falling to recognize that
whether in silence or speech that
your tongue Is 2 gift of God to
help and not to hurt your fellow.
men; for remember there Is a
time’ when your tongue will be
silent, cold and stil, and that by
your worda you muat be justifled
and by your words you must be
condemned.

ALAGA
SYRUP
WHEN SERVED WITH
Real Alaga Cane Syrup
The number of our readers learning of the "JOVY" that comes from using Real ALAGA Cane Syrup with Hot Gakes and Hot Biscuits is ever increasing. They have also learned that Candy, Pumpkin Pies, Cookies, etc., "fit for a King," are made with ALAGA Cane Syrup.
Regular shipments are now being received, right from where the Sugar Cane grows, to meet the rapidly increasing demand.
ALAGA Cane Syrup is the entire juice of the Sugar Cane plant bolled 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 choicest of white and fancy baking syrup. Nevertheless, it has a flavor all its own.
Ask your grocery for the Real ALAGA Cane Syrup, if he does not have it the following stores can supply you till his shipment arrives:

Political Comedy
THE KINGS County Colored Re-
publican organization has taken a
stand against the importation of men
from the South to run the presi-
dential campaign in New York. They
have been joined in their protest by
prominent Republicans of Harlem.
The contention of the New Yorkers
is that they should be led in presi-
dential and other campaigns by men
of New York or its vicinity, and ihat
the men who come liere to lead them
hail from states where the Negro has
n0 vote.
BRINGING in men who have no
vote to lead men who have a vote is
something worthy of comic opera; it
could not happen to any race but the
Negro. The reason for it is plain:
these imported men deliver large
blocks of Negro delegates at Repubii-
can national conventions and cam=
paign leadership is their reward. But
the citizens of New York have a right
to protest. What would the white
Republicans of New York say if men
were sent from Oregon and put over
their heads to run the New York end
of a presidential campaign? Sauce
for the white Republican is sauce for
the Negro Republican.
Pleasant Words
CHARLES E. HUGHES, speaking in
Havana, Sunday, said that the United
States is going to get out of Nica=
ragua and Haiti as soon as possible.
He said this to quiet the nerves of
the delegates to the Pan-American
Congress now meeting in that city,
The LatinsAmericans suspect this
country of imperialistic designs;
they think we intend eventually to
swallow every country irom here to
the South Pole.
WHETHER JUSTIFIED or not, the
fears of the Latin-Americans are only
natural. They know we took Cali:
fornia and Texas from Mexico; that
we took the Panama Canal Zone from
Colombia and Porto Rico and the
Philippines from Spain. Haiti, Santo
Domingo and Cuba are controlled by
American Marines or American bank-
ers, and the Virgin Islands belong to
America. Now our marines are in
Nicaragua fighting to put down San:
dino because he objects to American
control. This country’s possessions
and influence are creeping further
and further south, and it will take
more than pleasant promises to con=
vince the Latin-Americans that we
mean nothing by it.
Chicago Demands a
Congressman
THE NEGROES of Chicago have
made made up their minds to send
a Negro to Congress. For twenty-
three years the first congressional
district of Illinois has been repre:
sented at Washington by Martin B.
Madden. Mr. Madden is deservedly
popular with both races and has had
a distinguished career in Congress;
but the colored population of his dis=
trict now outnumbers the white by
five to one, and the Negroes think
they should be represented by a Ne=
gro. The Negroes most fikely to
enter the fight for the nomination are
Chandler Owen of The Messenger,
Nathan S. Taylor and Edward H.
Wright, a member of Governor
Smalt’s state commerce commission.
AS MR. WRIGHT has had more ex=
perience in public afiairs than the
others, the nomination will probably
go to him in spite oi his break with
Mayor Thompson and State's Attor-
ney Crowe. Whichever of the three
is nominated, there is an excellent
chance of seeing a Negro in Con-
gress next year, With such an over-
whelming Negro vote there is no ex:
cuse for not electing a Negro.
‘Though New York has a great Negro
population, the congressional dis«
trict that includes Harlem is so
gerrymandered that there is a large
white vote to offset the colored vote;
but the Negro district in Chicago is
politically compact. Furthermore,
the Negro vote in Chicago was ener-
gized thirty years ago by Edward
Morris and it has remained so.
AS THIS PAPER has said more
than once, the New York Negro has
And 14 Cents!
A BILL has been introduced in
the United States Senate by Senator
Curtis to pay $22,575,389.14 to Pro=
fessor William H. H. Hart, formerly
of the Howard University Law
School. It is to compensate Profes-
sor Hart for losses suffered during
his management of the Hart Farm
School, at which he undertook the
care and training of the colored
wards of the Board of Children’s
Guardians of the District of Co-
lumbia.
THE GOVERNMENT is very slow
in paying claims to anybody. One
man sold the Government some mules
during the Civil War and the bill was
paid forty years later to his grand:
children. When Congress is asked
to pay a colored man $22,575,389.14
it will have a fit, especially about the
fourteen cents.

The Pittsburgh Courler of Jan. 21,
taking sharp Issue with my letter
tn The WaShingion Post. Judging
from the laborlusness of ‘The
Courler to overthrow my contribu-
tion, oe readily guesses its
answer to the query “Wet or
dry?"
‘The decline In lynching and tho
rise of prohibition, local and nae
onal, are not merely matters of
casual occurrence, but of logical
ensualty, Whenever two things oc-
cur frequently together, the miud
naturally infers that there must bo
some underlying reason for the
concurrence. Lynching reached
its climax in the middie of the
nineties when the southern states
began to enact local regulations
over the quor evil. Sinve that
time there has been a steudy and
unmistakable decline In (le num-
ber of Ivnehings of both blacks
and whites. If we follow the fig.
ures as given In the Negro Year
Book, we can hardly escupe (his
conclusion.
Of course, there have occurred
irregularities In the rise and fall
of the column of figures, The
Courier is very muuch contused by
this irregularity. Because some
subsequent year shows a greater
number of lynchings than” some
preceding years, notwithstanding
the constant rise In prohibition,
the good editor exalts in this in:
cldontal deviation. He eliminates
from consideration the probable
imperfections of the records, spe-
clal clreumstances and conditions
which may have prevailed ut
tmox and places and also the gen-
eral statistical law that all xocial
data are subject to sundry per:
turbations.
1 wilt submit to any boy tn
the grammar schools the compre:
hensive facts and let him reach
his own conclusion, ‘There were
255 lynehings in 1892. Synchro-
nous with local liquor regulations,
these had declined to @1 in 1929,
when national prohibition went
tuto effect. From 1920 to 1997, un-
der federal prolifbition, the num-
ber dropped to 16. Leaving aut
all minor deviations o> errors of
record, the general trend cannot
be escaped,
But {n addition to the facts of
observation the deduction Is in-
herently reasonable. All will
agree that the open saloon ts ant
to arouse and stimulate the bas
er passion of the baser elements
of Both races, and thus render the
more arrogant readily disposed to
wreak vengeance on the weaker
on the slightest provocation. The
classic charge against tho inebri-
ate ts “Drunk and disorderly,” for
the good and suftictent reasqn that
disorder is the ordinary concomit-
ant of drunkenness,
1 will suggest some additional
relative facts for The Courier to
analyze according to its peculiar
brand of logic. Race riots, the
twin iniquity of lynching, have dis-
appeared since prohibition got un-
der way. Note the tlme of out-
breaks in East St. Louis, Omaha,
Chicago, Longview, Washington
and Tulsa, as related to the pro-
ibitlon movement. I wonder it
The Courler ts disposed to account
for the decline in race riots by
increase tn education, ax it tried
to do In the case of Iynchings.
1 wish T could persuade The
Courter, as well as all other in-
fluential Negro journals and or-
Kans of public opinion, to cease
from bolstering causes of iniquity
by specious and plausible disqul-
sitlon, and come over on the side
of law, order and temperance.

The homage of beltoring—
A song the heavy-laden heara
Above the clamour of his
fears,
While still he walks with blind
ing tears,
And drains the cup of griew
ing,
1 ask not why, I only see
How poor is all our potency,
How soon the wise, the strong
the tree *
Some deadly bane discloses;
While he whose bread 18 doubly
priced,
By whom all gain {s saerttioed,
Keeps near to beauty, near te
Christ,
And Socrates and Moses.
The captains and the gilded
kings. mW
With all thetr marshatled ux
derlings,
Are found” ‘to be but puny
things,
Impermanent and hollow;
While up through terror, Blood
and dearth,
Peor men accounted Uttle
worth,
SM rise the beaconlights of
earth
For truth and faith to follow,
So long as life 's steeped tm
wrong,
And nations ery: “How long,
how long!”
Took not to the wise and strong
For peace and solf-possession;
But right will rise, and mercy
shine,
And justice lft her conquer
ing sign
Where lowly people starve and
pine
Reneath a world oppresaion,
0, sweet {8 power, dear ts ease,
And beauty cannot fail to
please,
But mightier far than all of
theso
Those rhastenings of sorrow
By which along the heart will
dare
‘To mount beyond a world of
care
On visions bright belond com
pare
Of better things tomorrow.
