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 (Continued on Page 2.)

TRA BROWN DIES THEATRE MANAGER HELD FOR TRIAL 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.

J. was $60 per week and 20 per cent of the net receipts, it was justified. e Killed M I Have Killed My Man BLOODTHIRSTY WOMAN CONFESSES! "I am a mighty mean woman and won't stand for no back-talk."

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.

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 "You can put me down and let me walk! He was the only man I ever loved! Yes! I killed my man — a low-down, good-for-nothin' fellow.

Elks' Exalted Ruler Suspended (Continued from Page 1.) 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.

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.

Former Democrat Opens Republican Club 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.

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.

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.

He pointed out tuat the motive for srescnting the case to the Interstate Zommerce Cominission was not ma: retial and that the Commission had the power to inquire into the bust ees Management of the Pitman Compang, which involved the investi Fation of wages, rates and working conditions, This view of Mr. Hunt's ®as corroborated and confirmed by practically every commisstoner whe Auestioned 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 re ceive, sollcit and obtain tips, He read from the book of rules issued by the company a statement by L.

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. The members and general public are urged to use the device to guard against gunman game files with thumbnails. 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.

TO FORM NEW BALL CLUB HERE Only Men With Semi-Pro Experience Wanted by Those Behind Venture 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. EDDIE DORSEY BACK HOME Eddie Dorsey, who was suddenly called home to West Philadelphia on account of the death of his father, who was the oldest and one of the most prosperous colored contractors and builders in Philadelphia, has written back to say that he will remain home and conduct his father's business. Dorsey some years ago was one of the most promising lightweights and sought Benny Leonard, then champion, who just Eddie away in the second round. In recent years his eyes went back on him and he was forced into retirement. the opposition ragged the first squad pushed on and completed their work of disaster. This strategic move on the part of the visiting coach blasted the hopes of the locals, who strained every bit of their energy to bring victory in their premier encounter in the Eastern League.

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. PHILADELPHIA TEAM SEEKING GAMES The Spartan Braves A.

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. MAJESTICS.

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.

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 Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty 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.

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; Morehouse, 22 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.

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 A. THE NEW YORK TIMES Monroe Has Been Jack Austin's, of "Artists and Models," Man Friday for Many Years. What He Doesn't Know About Broadway Isn't Worth Knowing. 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 IDENTITY OF "CECILIO SUAREZ" DISCLOSED AllRevuesatLocalTheatresScoringThisWeek Monroe Burnet NEW YORK AM. M NEWS. WEDNESDAY. JAN. 25. 1928 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. Negro Movie Actor Now Cast With Bobby Vernon 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.

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.

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.

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.

SPECIAL ARTICLES 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.

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. of the hostess and her assistants. Many of the best books by Negro authors some of the guests see here for the first time.

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.

Those documents, so their critics asserted, would, if passed, seriously restrict freedom of speech and trial by jury and put the judiciary under the control of the Haitian President—which is to say, things being as they are, under the control of the American occupation. 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 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. Article 19, which read "Right of trial by jury is established in Arr By R. A. I'll Do My Part I'll do my part Whatever others may say, If they may prove Faithful, or be untrue, And do the best I can, To serve my fellowman. I'll sing my song, If in a minor strain, Tho greater bards May hold me in disdain; I'll sing the melody That Nature giveth me. I'll run my race If others lag behind; If otherwise My enemies opined, Their sneers will I despise, And press on for the prize! I'll live my life And strive to live it well; And, undismayed By all the powers of hell, I'll faint not in the fight, Contending for the right! Doing my part, Singing my feeble song, Running my race, Contending gainst the wrong, My soul shall know no fear, When reckning time draws near! 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 ince of the American public to Caribbean relations, as concitement over such comparatethe row with Sandino or the greeted Mr. Coolidge with is offered in the passing ally with the Havana conferenceian constitution, against which in Haiti and in 'some quarters are first proposed last fall. 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. OWS ADAMS 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.

Begin Today 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 WASHINGTON, Jan 23.—The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Inc., will sponsor a national celebration of Negro History Week beginning February 5. To popularize the study of Negro life and history, and to secure more support for its promotion, the association is asking that you do the following things: (1) Organize your community through committees for the celebration. (2) Appeal to your board of education for the adoption of Negro history text books. (3) Interest your library and school in securing a shelf and scientific works on the Negro and pictures of distinguished men of the race. (4) Urge everyone to write the association all he knows about Negro family history, and to send it any important documents bearing on the record of the Negro. (5) Set aside one day of the week of February 5 as a Book and Picture Fund Day, when all will be called upon to assist in raising funds to buy books and pictures of Negroes for your schools and libraries. Carter G. Woodson, 1538 Ninth street. N. W., is director of the association.

It goes where he himself would be entitled to appear; in his absence it is equivalent to his presence.

Simpson became a clerk in the medical examiner's office, Municipal Building. Imagine spending eight years of your life among the archives of the dead—with each hour bringing forth more "cases" of violent life departures, suicides, accidental killings and murder 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. Historic killings and murders: Flushing, L. L, and at St. Mark's Methodist Church when it was in Fifty-third street. Radio audiences have heard him over Station WNYC six or seven times. With some of his fellow Municipal Civil Service employees he was heard at Hotel Commodore. Recently, for a religious gathering, he sang at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. "Although I was born in Flushing, L. L, 27 years ago, my parents are from Virginia." he said. He completed three years of high school work, then went to work in the medical examiner's office. Indeed, Gus knows what death means, since his wife died recently. He and his two small children live in Flushing with his aged mother. "Not for the world" would Mr. Simpson, who is so unassuming, give up his position until he is sure of success with singing. But he does want to be an opera-star. Perhaps he'll direct the First Negro Opera Company of the world A PAGE OF BROOKLYN AND LONG ISLAND NEWS BROOKLYN OFFICE 868 Fulton St. Phone Prospect 6375 LONG ISLAND OFFICE 233 Pacific St., Jamaica.

"A few days ago, at a public meeting in New York, Mr. Helbing.

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.

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.

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.

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. Brooklyn U. S. Team Defeat Players of Carlton "Y" Brooklyn U. S.

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. Testimonial Dinner Given For Dr. J. H. Williams A testinnal and good-will dinner was tendered Dr. J. H.

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.

The New York Negro is not doing his best as long as only one-fourth of his eligible voters use their votes. He may well imitate the Chicago Ne= groes, with their $400,000,000 worth of property, their two banks owned and managed entirely by Ne= goes, their seven insurance com- panies with premiums of $1,000,000 yearly, their annual bank deposits of $40,000,000 and their business en- terprises with an invested capital of $4,000,000.

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.

Take Charles Gil- xome one throws under my eyes 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. pin, For years lie played almost unnoticed in Harlem.
