Janitor Says Electric Wire and Not Tenant, Caused Blaze
A fire of mysterious origin occurred last Wednesday night about 9 o'clock in apartment 3 at 218 West 125th street while the tenant, a Mrs. Milligan, and her three children were out. The apartment and its furnishings were completely destroyed and the apartment on the floor directly above it was also badly damaged.
The alarm was given by Mrs. Serafin Valdez on the floor above, who was awakened by the blaze at her bedroom window. After the firemen extinguished the blaze a wild rumor spread that Mrs. Milligan, former owner of the house, set the fire to get revenge upon Joseph Goodman, white, 67 West 125th street, the present owner.
Small importance, however, was given to this theory. Alfred Funches, the janitor, said that the fire was probably started by the exposed ends of electric wires on a table lamp which he had helped Mrs. Milligan fix the day before. He told a reporter that Mrs. Milligan bought at the house from Goodman last March and that when she failed to meet her note in January Goodman foreclosed on Mrs. Milligan and also served her with a dispossens.

The women were brought to police headquarters, where they told the detectives that Bernard Donovan, 34, a roomer, had stabbed Blakely during an argument.

Early risers Thursday morning were treated to the spectacular scene of a newsstand in flames about 7 o'clock at 2297 Seventh avenue near 135th street. The destroyed property was owned by Leon Nichols. 580 St. Nicholas avenue.

Elbert Bradley, 148 West 151st street, an employee of the Amsterdam News, was selling papers in the absence of the proprietor when the fire started. Luckily, Nichols had not latched the door and Bradley was thereby enabled to dash from the wooden structure without being burned.
Engine Company 59 nearby and Truck 28 responded to an alarm, but when they arrived the booth had been razed and the flames were fast eating away the wooden framework of the pool parlor and restaurant, both places being closed at the time.

John Harris, owner of the Rosey Coffee Pot Lunchroom, 145 West 135th street, and Lillian Francis, doing business as the West Indian Bakery, 2488 Seventh avenue, are co-defendants in a suit for $1,000 damages brought against them by Robert L.

In the complaint Albert states that he entered Harris' lunchroom on Jan. 20 and bought a piece of peach pie and after eating two-thirds of it he noticed its peculiar taste. 'The pie was rotten, he said, and he complained to the waiter and was told that the pie was quite fresh, having been brought from the West Indian Bakery the same day. Albert went home suffering from nausea and vomiting, but returned later and bought another slice of the same pie! He submitted this piece to a physician and an officer of the Health Department, both of whom agreed that the pie was rotten. He then brought suit against Harris and the bakery. Albert is still under the care of a physician and is suffering, he said, from intestinal trouble as the direct result of eating the pie. The complaint also reveals that the name of the Rosy Coffee Pot is not registered with the County Clerk pursuant to Section 440 of the Penal Code.

Mr. Brown was believed to be a man of honest and sincere motives, but apparently had not mastered the technique either of business or banking. When State Banking Commissioner Peter G. Cameron was called to investigate the bank failure he said: "This is the worst attempt at banking I have ever seen." It is believed that the failure of the bank was caused by the failure of the Dunbar Theatre, with attendant worry and grief, had much to do with the undermining of his health.

schools and attended the Spencerian Business College in Philadelphia. His banking career began with the opening of the Crown Savings Bank at Newport News, Va., and the Brown Savings and Banking Co., Norfolk, Va. He was also president of the Beneficial Insurance Company of Norfolk.
In partnership with Andrew P. Stevens, also of Philadelphia, Mr. Brown opened in that city the Brown Savings and Lombard streets in 1915. One of the southern banks had been a failure and Mr. Brown came north to start anew. In February, 1925, his Philadelphia bank, then considered one of the strongest No. 0 financial institutions in the country, crashed, sweeping away the city of Norfolk and depositors, sending disaster, ruin, grief and bitter disappointment into many homes.
At a meeting of prominent fraternal, business and professional men who endeavored to save the bank, Mr. Brown wept openly and promised the return of every penny lost. However, the banker's real estate holdings—even the bank building—were mortgaged up to the hilt and the depositors were never paid. Dr. Brown, the banker, instituted had opened two branch banks, one in West Philadelphia, under the same name, and one in North Philadelphia, the Cosmopolitan Bank. These branches also failed along with the main office.
As a realtor, national attention was first centered upon Mr. Brown in 1922, when he purchased the Payton Apartments in this city. At the time of the failure of the Philadelphia bankers' real estate holdings in this city it $300,000 by Col. Fred Taylor Pusey of the State Banking Department.
At least ten valuable Philadelphia properties are said to have been owned by Brown and Stevens when their bank failed. The two properties on Christian street, in an exclusive section, were said to be in the heart of the city. Brown engaged in banking Mr. Brown started to operate a chain of theatres. He was intensely interested in the development of the drama with Negro actors. He organized the Quality Amusement Company in this city and made the work of the Lafayette Players (at the Lafayette Theatre) famous for their transatlantic work. As president of the Douglass Amusement Company he erected the Douglass Theatre in Baltimore, Md., in 1822, but sold it three years later for $125,000. It has never been a success. About the same time Mr. Brown was operating the Putnam Theatre at Brooklyn and another house at Norfolk, a. n. He also had a working agreement with the Howard Theatre at Washington, D. C.
During the same period he organized and sold stock in the Dunbar Amusement Company of Philadelphia and erected the Dunbar Theatre diagonally across from his office, where his wife were left to "hold the bag" when it failed and was sold to John T. Gibson, owner of the Standard Theatre in that city.
Lived Extravagantly
E. T. Brown was a man of handsome features, immaculate appearance and gracious personality. Those closely associated with him said that he was eager to help everyone. He lived very luxuriously, it is reported. At the time of the bank failure he owned an expensive Stutz roadster and a Pierce Arrow sedan and lived in a palatial home in West Philadelphia. On Jan. 20, 1926, his home, located at 123 South Forty-seventh street, was sold for $50,000 to John L. Turnhoe.

Unemployed Persons Form Group at Urban League
The "We - Want a Job-and-Can't Get It" Group has been instituted by the Industrial Department of the New York Urban League. The Group meets each morning from 11 to 12 o'clock in the Employment Waiting Room of the Urban League, 204 West 150th street. During this period of severe unemployment, it has been found that a certain amount of good can come from such a gathering. Employees were able to find just the types of jobs they were seeking through the medium of this club. Even the person out of a job finds that he is able to help the other fellow. Persons also tell of their experience in seeking employment during the morning and afternoon preceding the meeting. There are only two membership requirements: (1) that the person be unemployed; (2) that a conscious effort be made to secure employment. Upon securing work, members become the only officer of the chairman is the only officer of the club, and such an officer holds office one day only.
When questioned about the purpose of such a group, Ira de A. Reid, the industrial secretary of the Urban League, said: "It is our hope that the membership turnover will be high; that eventually it will have no members; that the members will be able to provide assistance to each other, may be able to see more deeply into the phenomenon of unemployment."

Thomas and the woman left the house together and when they reached Prospect avenue and Boston road Bruce overook them and an altercation arose.
Thomas shot Bruce in the Rings the bullet entering the upper left arm and piercing the body. The woman was arrested to Liecoln Hospital and died three days later. Thomas was arrested and showed signs of intoxication, but could give no definite reason for shooting his friend except as a result of the quarrel.

Sale Starts Friday Morning, Feb. 3rd
The trial opened Monday, January 16, the Government represented by Assistant District Attorney McDonnell, and Butler R. Wilson and Edward W. Wilson as counsel for the defense.
The Government opened its case with a flourish by swearing in a crowd of witnesses, among whom were representatives from the office of the Commissioner, the captain of the Headquarters Squad, several inspectors and sergeants, many patrolmen, and several civilians. Over strenuous objection of the prosecution, the defense counsel succeeded in having the jury take a view of the scene of the police bombardment.
Gas Bomba Used
The testimony tended to show that about 1:30 in the morning of November 29, 1927, acting on a telephone message from a next-door neighbor, several policemen went to Polite's home, at 21 Wellington street, Boston, seeking admission to investigate an alleged disturbance; but, having no warrant, were unable to gain peaceable entry to the house. The police went back to the station, procured shot guns and gas bombs, sent, in a general call for assistance from other stations, and returned to Wellington street. Then, reinforced by a young army of police, the number of which the police themselves admitted to be forty, they proceeded to break down and enter the front door, went upon the roof and broke open the skylight into which they shot and threw gas bombs, and went upon the roofs across the street and bombarded the house and its occupants.
It was testified by the police that Polite resisted their entry to the front door by constant fire from a revolver, and Brooks resisted their entry to the skylight similarly. Polite and Brooks testified that they awakened by the crash of the front door being broken in and, though willing to go down and peaceably see what the trouble was, were prevented from doing so by the steady rain of police bullets which kept them in imminent danger of their lives. Finally, after three hours of bombardment and siege, the police arrested Polite and Brooks, the latter having been wounded on the neck and gassed by a bomb. It appeared that, without orders from any superior officer, in spite of the fact that there were many officers, ranking from captain to patrolmen, present, the individual patrolmen, of their own will, had shot and bombed the house and its occupants.
But the police were not satisfied and thereupon beat Polite on the way to the station, split his head open in the station, none of which could be remembered by the officers on the witness stand, and then, contrary to law, dragged Polite before the Police Commissioner for a grilling.
Exciting Trial
The trial furnished a scene of exciting interest, constantly livened by objections on the part of the defense counsel to immaterial evidence calculated to improperly prejudice the jury, which objections were almost regularly sustained by
the court. The most interesting of these was as to the use of the words "colored" and "white" in referring to various people. On objection, such was stopped by the judge.
The final testimony was presented after four days of trial and the arguments to the jury were set for the following day. At this time the defense counsel got in a blow in the form of a motion for a directed verdict in favor of Brooks in three of the counts of one indictment on the grounds that there was not sufficient evidence to sustain them. The motion was allowed and the jury were directed to find Brooks not guilty as to these three counts, leaving him on trial only under two counts.
The argument to the jury for the defense, made by the senior defense counsel, Butler R. Wilson, minutely covered the whole evidence and the law and unreservedly flayed the police for their unwarranted, unauthorized and shameful attack upon the defendants and the wanton destruction of the house during and after, the battle.
Mr. Wilson outlined the law controlling the case, stating that the police had no right to break and enter without a warrant unless they had reasonable grounds to believe that a felony had been committed in the house, and then only after demanding entrance and acquiring the occupants with the fact that they, as police officers and in the name and under the authority of the law, sought entrance.
It was further argued that there was no evidence of this, not even any evidence that, any policeman was in uniform, and that, therefore the police were trespassers and might be reasonably resisted, by force commensurate with the force of the attack.
Deliberate for Hours
After four hours of deliberation the jury brought in a verdict showing that the police had no right to break and enter as they did do, and that the occupants had a right to reasonably resist them; but found that Polite had shot first, and in so doing had used more force than was justified by the initial attack. Consequently, the jury found Polite guilty of a technical assault with a dangerous weapon on only two counts and acquitted him of the serious charge of shooting with intent to kill. Furthermore, the jury found Brooks not guilty of assault with a dangerous weapon or shooting with intent to kill and acquitted and freed him intently.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, January 25, the District Attorney moved for disposition and sentence of Polite. After listening to the plea for leniency advanced by the defense counsel, Judge Keating sentenced Polite to six months on each count, a minimum sentence which could be given for the offense of assault with a dangerous weapon. The outcome of this case establishes a precedent for the protection of citizens from unauthorized deprudations of individual members of the police force led by ulterior motives of revenge or prejudice.

Six Persons Cut Within One Hour
A Little Later a Girl Is Stabbed by Her Brother
On Sunday morning six persons were cut and slashed within one hour and a girl was badly cut three hours later by her brother. All seven cases are being investigated by Detective Sergeant Battle and Detective Detector of the West 135th street station. At 3 o'clock, in front of 272 West 135th street, Arthur Thomas, 40 West 131st street, became engaged in violent altercation and is said to have drawn a knife and inflicted a incineration upon Robert Redick, 19, 2173 Fifth avenue. He is then alleged to have set upon two other participants in the fight, Frank Ask, 20, and Fanny Ask, 19, 366 Lenox avenue, and inflicted a deep gush in Frank's arm and snubbed Fanny in the back. Thomas then fled. His victims were treated at Harlem Hospital by Dr. Harvey.
On the second floor of the same house, in front of which the above fracas took place, just one hour later, several men set upon Merlith Terrell, 32, and stabbed him in the chest and lacerated his left leg. Dr. Wilkinson was summoned from Harlem Hospital and Terrell was removed there in a serious condition. The attackers escaped. At 3:15 a. m. Morris Alexander, 27, 470 Convent avenue, while walking on 133d street, between Fifth and Lenox avenues, was suddenly attacked with a knife by an unknown man. At Harlem Hospital Dr. Harvey treated him for a laceration of the face, left arm and chest. At 3:30 a. m. Allen Spooner, 38, 70 West 128th street, suffered a laceration of the back during an alteration with some unknown man in the hallway of 2 West 136th street. He was also treated at Harlem Hospital.
At 3:50 a. m. William West, 22,
170 West 136th street, became engaged in an altercation with some unknown man in the hallway of 304 West 145th street and he was struck a violent blow on the right side of the face with some sharp instrument. He was treated by Dr. Harvey at Harlem Hospital.
During a fight with her brother, Nathaniel Buckley, Loulie Buckley,
22, 8 West 134th street, second floor, was cut on both arms and the left hand. Her lacerations were dressed by Dr. Harvey at Harlem Hospital. The police are trying to apprehend her brother. The light occurred at 6:30 a. m.

Amsterdam News Sports Editor on Air Thursday
The Amsterdam News will go on the air tomorrow night in the person of Mr. Romeo L.

Mr. Dougherty will review the Negro in sports from the days of Peter Jackson to the present time or ring heroes like Jack Mcvey and Bruce Flowers, and will show that at the hands of the white man the Negro in sports has never received a square deal.
Thought Man Wanted to Flirt; Slashes Him
While seated in the Apollo Theatre, 211 West 125th street, Wednesday night, Matilda Thomas, 24, 45 West 129th street, saw Jesse Gray, white, 549 West 144th street, move his hand and thought he was about to get fresh with her, so she took out a knife and slushed him on the right arm twice. As a result, she was arraigned in Heights Court Thursday before Magistrate Vitale on a charge of disorderly conduct, to which she pleaded guilty and received a suspended sentence. She paid Gray $20 for the damage to his overcoat. Miss Thomas explained to the court that on several occasions men had gotten fresh with her in the剧院 and she had decided to punish the next offender. When she saw Gray move his hand she immediately started cutting, much to the startling surprise of Gray.
She left the theatre and Gray followed her and called a policeman and had her arrested. Miss Thomas told Magistrate Vitalte that she was sorry and was willing to pay for any damages Gray had sustained.

Reid on Air With Labor Movement
A plea for a more receptfve attitude on the part of the American
labor movement toward Negro workers was made by Ira de A. Retd,
{Industrial secretury of the New York Urban League, in an address
delivered over Station WEVE, the Debs Memorial Iudlo Station.
Mr. Reid sald tho Negro is ready and anxious to take wn his reo
sponatvilities iu the organized labor movement. His subject was
“The Decline of the Negro Strikebreaker.” .
‘There are several factors which are making for the decline of the
Negro as a strikebreaker, Mr. Reld sald, These aré tae increased
Industrial opportunities for members of the race; the exposition of
militant industrulism by supporters in the Nesro group; a more
aerfous consideration of the economtc basis of Negro life: a more
“aggressive assault” upon the stronghold of organized Inbor by Negro
leaders; organization of Negro lavor independent of white Iabor, and,
finally, the use of Negro organizers.
On the other hand, Mr. Reid asserted, there are a number of rea-
sons why Negroes still continue to act as strikebreakers. Among
thee he included the following: because of the indifference of the
labor movement; because of refusal of International unions after the
Negroes become members; because of refusal to inform and educate
Negro labor, and fallure to encourage organization of the Nogro group.

NEW YORK CITY
An Open Letter to the
Colored People
Se VER, NE Me Sea
Mr. & Mrs. Colored New Yorker: -
Have you $50 or more? A large Syndicate now forming offers to selected
colored investors an OPPORTUNITY to obtain BIG PROFITS in New York in-
come property, rented to colored tenants.
YOU can help your race, and, at the same time, earn a big return on your
money. Our purpose is to improve the housing conditions of the colored peo-
ple, giving them improved and modern homes at FAIR RENTALS. Help us
stop the rent-gouging that has been going on at the expense of the colored peo-
ple among private real estate owners and lessees. Unscrupulous speculators
have been reaping millions, due to the congested conditions in the colored dis-
_ triets.
. It is our purpose to REMEDY these conditions by the employment of a
large capital in the purchase, maintenance and erection of modern apartments
and homes for you. This is now facilitated by general real estate conditions.
We can give you LOWER RENTS, better houses, as well as BIG PROFITS.
Help make this the BIGGEST THING that has ever happened for the colored
people in New York City. =
GET IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR :
Even if you haven’t the money, write us what you think of our project.
Give us your MORAL SUPPORT, even if you are at present unable to give
your financial support. ,
There are more than 300,000 colored people in New York City. The- col-
ored districts embrace the finest and most accessible parts of the City. HOW
CAN WE FAIL TO MAKE BIG MONEY? 3

"CRADLE OF LIBERTY" HAS LEGAL ECHO
Wrangle Over Spoils of Liberty Hall Sale to Be Heard in Court Today
U. N. I. A. Files Petition Asking That I Be Named Trustee of $14,000 Surplus Fund Left After Mortgages
What is considered by many as a futile gesture will be made today in the Supreme Court when the Universal Negro Improvement Association will attempt to prevent its former creditors from sharing the $14,000 surplus accruing from the sale last September of the once famous Liberty Hall in West 18th street.
The Hawaiian System of Scalp and Hair Culture
Registered U. S. Patent Office
BUILT ON MERIT
Founded 1913 by Madame T. G. Bramlette
The value of a treatment in scalp and hair culture is determined by the results the user gets.
Persons writing for information address all mail to Mine, T. G. Bramlette, 12th St. N., W. Washington, D. C. A two months' treatment sent anywhere for $2. agents warn everywhere. Instructions in the Hawaiian System method given by mail.
What is considered by many as made today in the Supreme Court will Improvement Association will attempt creditors from sharing the $14,000 sale last September of the once famous 138th street. The Real Estate Holding Corp. Charles W. William Isles and Wesley M. Holder, plaintiffs in the case and largest creditors of the defunct institution, will be opposed by Fred A. Toote and Levi Lord, who claim to be the representatives of twenty-five former officials of the U. N. I. A. The latter will endeavor to delay the petition of the plaintiffs on the ground that the U. N. I. A. has now recovered sufficient business equilibrium to be made trustee of the surplus fund.
According to briefs and affidavits filed by attorneys for both factions, Liberty Hall was sold Sept. 14, 1927, for $69,500. Two mortgages on the building were paid out of this amount, leaving the above mentioned surplus, which is now being held by the City Chamberlain as custodian, pending a decision by the court.

Just who got the $5,000 check which the grand lodge voted to reimburse the three New York lodges that were entertaining the grand lodge session of the Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order Elks of the World in this city last August, and why, is a matter that is beginning to concern the members of Manhattan, Monarch and Imperial Lodges.
Coming events cast their shadows before them, and the shadows now portend trouble brewing for someone else somewhere. The initial step in the matter of ferreting out the path of the mysterious $5,000 check and a general airing of the doings of the recent committee that charge of the grand lodge entertaining was made in Manhattan Lodge at a recent meeting when a motion prevailed there to appoint a committee to work in conjunction with similar committees to be appointed from Monarch and Imperial Lodges.
The three committees working jointly are to report in toto as to the activities of the convention committee members, their receipts, bills and other data and to find out who got the $5,000 check and why he got it.
Oscar C. Cassell, an old member of Manhattan Lodge, was appointed chairman of the committee from that lodge. Associated with him are Peter J. Undley, Thomas Mangrum, Dennis Edwards and Boone C. McFarland, who is secretary. From Monarch Lodge, Dennis Armatead was selected as chairman of that lodge's committee with Pat Marshall, John Brown, Jacob Lux and Gillard Thompson working with him.
No committee has been appointed from Imperial as yet, but the exiled ruler of Imperial Lodge has given his word that a committee will be appointed and that it will work in harmony with the other two committees.

Bandmaster of Monarch Lodge Band Tendered Testimonial Dinner
Fraternal Leaders, Aldermen and Business Praise Achievement of Fred W. Simpson Presentations Made
Characterized as the "greatest band leader of the greatest band of the greatest Elk lodge in the world," Lieut. Fred W. Simpson, bandmaster of Monarch Band, listened to many felicitations at the testimonial dinner tendered him by the members of Monarch Band Monday night at Westminster Hall, 73 Lenox avenue.
Dr. Hudson J. Oliver, exalted ruler of Monarch Lodge, the master of ceremonies, was introduced by the former president of the band. On the rostrum were Dennis Armstead, oldest exalted ruler of Monarch Lodge; Alderman John C. Hawkins, John Duncan, grand trustee; Joseph (Blondy) Brown, grand trustee; Joseph (Blondy) Brown, grand trustee; after his usual witty speech, warried and called for greater co-operation among the Negroes of Harlem, in civic as well as political life. "Without the Negroes of Harlem, 125th street could not exist," said Mr. Moore. He called for a greater amount of appreciation from the musicians' Union.
Grand Master Teagle referred to the "death of Masonic" hopes in the defunct Masonic building on West 144th street. He disclaimed any blame for that failure and admonished the members of Monarch Lodge to look carefully into the signing of any contracts for their proposed building, as the signing of outrageous contracts had ruined the hopes of Prince Hall Masons in New York City. Alderman Moore, after complimenting Lieut. Simpson on his ability as a musician and a band leader, promised to do all that he can as an Alderman to further the inter- owing to the uncertainty of its being held in New York, the grand lodge in session here voted to give $5,000 towards reimbursing the three lodges for some of their loss. The check was not issued by George E. Bates, the grand secretary, at time. It was, however, finally made out and forwarded to the grand exalted ruler in Washington for his signature.
However, it is reported that no part of the $5,000 was ever received by any of the three local lodges. The alleged failure of the local convention committee, of which Dr. Hudson J. Oliver was chairman. Charles M. Hanson, secretary and Samuel M. Matthias, to meet adjutant I will remaining matters had to do with the August convention, make detailed reports to the three lodges and then adjourn permanently, is the thing which has started the members of the three lodges to talking and brought into existence the committees to find out, if possible, just why the local committee does not meet and wind up its affairs. It is said that there are still some outstandingills which have not yet been filled from the last convention and it is also said that there is a balance of nearly $500 still in the bank to the credit of the local convention committee.

est of Monarch Band in the matter of playing under city assignments in the city parks. The Alderman, who proudly told his age (he said he would be 71 on his next birthday), after his usual witty speech, waxed serious and called for greater co-operation among the Negroes of Harlem, in the as-political life, without the Negroes of Harlem, 125th street could not exist," said Mr. Moore. He called for a greater amount of appreciation from the Negroes (themselves for what he called "the finest band, not negro band, but the finest band in New York." In response to all the speeches, Leit. Simpson thanked the speakers and the assemblage for the honour, and briefly briefly briefly the history of the band and said that he intended to keep plugging to make Monarch Band, and keep it, one of the finest bands in the country. Three rousing cheers greeted him as he took his seat.
Presentations Made.
After Dr. Oliver had introduced some of the noted people present, a brief speech was made by the retiring president, A. N. Hayne. The guests then adjourned to the upper hall, where presentations took place. The first was to Robert O. Freeman, a former president; the next were to A. N. Hayne, Albert Maxwell, assistant bandmaster, and to Leit. Simpson. John Duncan made the presentation. The honour was given to the band. They were to John Duncan, Dennis Armstead and Casper Holstein. All of the new officers were installed in a few words by P. E. R. Armstead, after which dancing ended the pleasant evening.

Church Council in Annual Meeting
Adopt Resolution Urging Enforcement of All Amendments
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 31. The annual meeting of the Executive Committee of the Federal Council of Churches met here this week, and among the several reports of the various Commissions was that of the Commission on the Church and Iace Relations. The question drawing the keenest attention was a recommendation on the Constitution involving the Constitution, Involving the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Eighteenth. This recommendation was presented by George E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission. Fear was expressed by some of the delegates that such a resolution would partake too much of politics and thus involve the churches in partisan political controversy. Bishop George C. Clement, chairman of the Commission, defended the moral responsibility of law enforcement was primarily a moral question, especially the enforcement of the Constitution which is the bulwark of our liberties.
Bishop R. C. Ransom of the A. M. E. Church, a member of the Commission, said, "We must face these questions; I am included to believe that our not being willing to face them is an evidence of cowardice on the part of the white people and hyperkey on the part of us colored people." The resolution, after being referred to the business committee of the meeting and receiving a final draft following the discussion on the floor, was adopted by the executive body as follows: "The question of enforcing the Eighteenth amendment has become an outstanding moral issue in America today and has raised the question of obedience to the fundamental law of our land, including all the rights as Constitution We therefore go on record as asserting the honest enforcement of the Constitution including all the amendments, and we ask the co-operation of all the commissions of the Federal Council of Churches to that end."
The Executive Committee of the Federal Council also passed without debate the following resolution: "We urge all our church organizations in selecting their places of meeting to insist that provision be made for delegates other than the president of the church; the excitation be taken to protect such between against enabrassment from any form of social discrimination."

Plays "Doctor"; Gets 60 Days in Workhouse
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 30 (PNS.) If "Doctor" H. R. Hurston had been sufficiently qualified in the knowledge of medical science to distinguish between a living person and one whose life was extinct, he wouldn't have been favored with a present from a judge of 60 days in the workplace. "Doctor" Hurston was charged with attempted larceny by trick, scheme and device. The evidence showed that he attempted to defraud the Atlanta Life Insurance Company out of $1,000 on a policy on the life of Mrs. Nora Cannon. Hurston wrote the insurance company that Mrs. Cannon died February 5, 1925, and there could be a question about her demise, as he himself practising physician, had been in practice the end. The company officials had no evidence however, and an investigation was started which revealed that the Cannon woman was both alive and well.

PERHAPS the longest play to be produced in New York is Eugene O'Neill's "Strange Interlude," which opened Monday at the John Golden Theatre, Fifty-eighth street, west of Broadway.
With a cast headed by Lynn Fontanne, Glenn Anders, Tom Powers, Earle Larinimore, Helen Westley, Ethel Westley and Philip Leigh, who could not enjoy live or more hours of superb acting? The play starts daily at 5:15 o'clock, continues to 7:30, when one hour intermission permits the playgoers to have dinner. Following this intermission, the play continues until about 11 o'clock.
No doubt, some New Yorkers will object to the story itself; others will say it portrays some of the things they have done or have wanted to do, and still others will simply call it O'Neill's greatest work.
According to Nina (Lynn Fontanne), "Life is just a long-drawn-out lie, with a sniffling sigh at the end of it." The players, however, help you to understand this cross-section of life by actually speaking all their thoughts. Wouldn't life be less complicated if we always knew the thoughts of others?
"The strange interlude is the present"—by all means rush down and see it.—T.E.B.

HOUSEWINE EXCHANGE
TO the Young Housewives:
After purchasing the beautiful furniture for your lovely new house, have you given serious thought to your bed linen? If not, these hints may enable you to buy wisely, or rather, economically. All of us cannot afford linen which is very smooth to the touch and lustrous, but the majority of us use "cotton sheets". Now, there are two types of cotton fabrics in use—muslin and percale. You can distinguish muslin from percale by its duller appearance, due to the fuzz of the skin, which has not been proved. Percale is lighter in weight, but is more closely woven, and it is higher in price because a longer staple cotton is used in spinning the yarn.
Sizes Are Important
Sheeting is woven in different widths to suit different sizes of beds, beginning at the standard width for a single bed, it increases by a nine-inch difference to the standard width for the double bed. It is especially important for nightly comfort to get the right size. Saleswomen are constantly asked about the "durability" of the sheet. That is very hard to determine, but it to that the material feels firm and that the threads are closely woven and not held close together by starch or some other dressings (so commonly used) to give the appearance of firmness. Remember, too, some sheets are torn for hemming and some are cut. The cut cut cannot be depended upon if have a straight edge after fanning the sheet. Otherwise hand the torn end is absolutely straight, if ironed properly.
Your sheets should be at least twenty-eight inches wider than your mattress and about thirty-six inches longer. Thus, an eighteen-inch turn-over top of the blanket and enough to tuck well at foot and sides are allowed. When a sheet is too short or too narrow it destroys all comfort and prevents restful and healthful sleep. Now when these sheets begin to wear the center, tear them in half, sowethen the outside together. You will find this will wear wonderfully well.

In our issue of Oct. 26 we discussed canned goods briefly and promised from time to time to tell you more. Our talk then was

mostly cannot vegetables. Today we have canned dish
Some of us are so afraid of not getting fresh fish that we take a friend into the market with us; we question the merchants and examine the gills. There need be no more fear of canned fish than other canned goods that eat. Fish are fresh from the waters of ocean are cleaned, washed, packed in the cans and cooked, all within three hours, and with the very best of care.
Canned Salmon should *interest all intelligent housekeepers, for there is a kind for every use and a variety of prices to suit your purse. There are five species of salmon: namely: King, red, coho, pike and chum. The largest is the largest of all salmon and was the first canned. There is more meat on this fish, less skin, large bones. It must be well-cooked and it is easily eaten. This is especially good for salad. Red salmon is the second variety and very popular on account of its rich red color and firm texture. It is a small fish; bones, of course, small, and the flakes are small and thin.
The cohoe is called medium red because of its color. The flesh has an excellent flavor and is excellent for salads and cooked dishes. Pink cohoe is light pink and brownish and is light pink or brownish in color. Chum salmon is the cheapest of all, due to the fact that it is very pale in color, almost white. It contains less fat, although its protein contents are as high as well.
Tuna Fish
Tun fish needs no introduction, it is truly the family's favorite. There are four varieties of tuna.

Questions and Answers
Dear Miss Sharpe: I have several white spots on my beautiful vanished table. How can I remove same? M.
Answer: Hold a hot iron over spots. This will remove them.
Dear Miss Sharpe: My smoothing irons are rough and sticky. Please help me to have better irons.
Answer: A broken photograph record is excellent for keeping them smooth. Your starch causes sticking. Melt a piece of candle in starch while cooking.
Dear Miss Sharpe: How can I keep cut flowers fresh for a couple of days or longer? M. C.
Answer: Cut off stems a quarter inch (diagonally) every other day. They will keep fresh two weeks. Aspirin tablets dropped in the vase also help to keep flowers fresh.

Hints on Cooking
The electric toaster, chafing dish, waffle iron, etc., are of great help in light housekeeping.
For time and labor savers in your kitchen, have the following equipment: Glass baking dishes, enamel double boilers, bread-mixer, mayonnaise mixer, double egg heater, cake mixer. The electric dish washer is the kitchen wagon and the apple wagon is a great help in serving, especially when there is no malfunction.
When baking apples: Prick the skin of the apples and they will cook without bursting.
When cooking pancakes: Dip the spoon in milk or water and the batter will drop off the spoon easily.
Egg whites: Never beat eggs in an aluminum pan. This will darken them.
Slicing potatoes: When slicing potatoes, boil the baking knife over a gas gas or oil boiler. The potatoes will slice easily.
To make meat tender: Put it in a strong vinegar water for a few minutes.
Table Linen
Linens should last a lifetime, if they are given the proper care. They should be laundered with great care, ironed on the right side and then on the wrong. If white linen is put away for a time, it should be rolled in blue paper. This prevents it from becoming yellow.

A Listerine Secret
IT is well known how efficacious listerine is in sweetening the breath of lissom mails and gallant lads, but few know that the game tiny vial holds yet another secret advantage to the beauty seeker. It is this: Diluted with a little water, listerine is a wonderful facial tonic—strengthening and tightening the skin, cleaning the cheeks, moisturizing, three-fourths listerine and one fourth ice water. Pat on the skin after your next facial cleaning and observe the effect.
Smoky Walls
If your walls are smoky, bruise them well; wash with a strong soak of pearl ash, rinse at once and clean water. Wash with a soft cloth or a coat of free-flow shine with dissolved alum. After this, d and apply whisking in good size.

Bob Douglas's "convalescents," with a pent-up double charge of baskets in their systems, slaughtered the Passale Giants by the hefty score of 70 to 27, before an enthusiastic crowd at Renaissance Casino Sunday night.
These Giants may not have been giants in size, but they certainly were giants in reputation. Pushman and Kraukwitz being members of the famous Passale High School wonder team who went to 135 games without defeat under the famous coach, Blood, the former also being one of C. C. N. Y. quintet under Nat Holman. Added to that they acted as if they were giants—in practice.
After Al Brown, Harlem's featherweight pride, just back from Europe, had been introduced, followed by Paul Berlenbach, who tossed out the ball, the game got under way, and the Jersey quintet kept on acting like giants, matching point for point with our boys until the score stood 9 to 8 in our favor. Acting Captain Fat Jenkins, however, said to the boys "enough is enough, let's go," and the Renaissance thereupon let out a blazing, blistering offensive that made the Giants wish they were somewhere else than the Renaissance Casino court.
Saunders, who was getting the tap consistently, started combination after combination that went through with clockwork regularity and precision, and what promised to be a fine game developed into a rout for the white team. At half time the colored champions led 38 to 15, with Saunders having 7 baskets to his credit.
The second half was a repetition of the first, the only difference being that George Flail took it into his head to rid his system of a few baskets, and he caged five from the floor, with two from the foul line, and, speaking of fouls, let us tell the world that George has been the best foul shot on the Renalence team, all season, surely missing many of his tries. Sunday night he had four chances and made good on three of them.
Manager Boh then sent in a few of his other cripples to warm up. Hisroid Mayers, with an index finger twice as large as it should be, blew in for about two minutes, shot around the court like a stretcher and out again, "stretching" Hill, the new addition to the Rens, also got himself a few points and otherwise showed his stuff. Our old friend Johnnie Hopkins, the demon scorer, was unwrapped and sent in to stretch his legs, and, he and behold Johnnie duplicated the heat of his game, from mid-court, amid furious aplause from the "amen box" way down on the Seventh avenue side of the casino. Next Sunday night Paul Berlenbach will lead his All-Stars against the Renaissance. Hope Paul saw enough to win, and the liminary game was a close and interesting one between the Majesties and the American Bank Note team, a white combination. The Majesties nosed out the white lads 43 to 42 after the complexen of the game changed continuously.
Saturday the Metro-Diagnosis will battle the Monitors in a league game for the Bob Douglas trophy. The roster

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Jan. 25. The great Tuskegee jungle basketball team, coached by Mrs. Amelia C. Roberts, a graduate of Sargent, continued its long string of victories by 42 to 12 in the Collis P. Huntington Gymnasium here today.
The forward combination of Birch, Lindsey and Hill was too strong for the hard playing Americus Institute guards.
Birch, with eight field goals and four foul goals, was the high scorer of the contest. Hattie Lindsey scored four field goals and three foul goals. Ruth Hill scored four field goals and two foul goals.
The guards, composed of P. Adams, Gorges, and Tadlock, played a great defensive game.
For Americus, Harrison won the high point honors with one field goal and four foul goals. Morris played well, scoring one field goal. Maxwell took second place with two field goals, and played a good defensive game at guard.
Probably the outstanding player on the Americana team was the diminutive Miss Williamson, who played her heart out despite the topheavy score of the tigerites.
The summary:

BOXER RENDERED DEAF
BY OPPONENT'S BLOWS
PARIS, France, Jan. 30—(PAS)K—Nomo, a light heavyweight, was disqualified after six rounds of milling recently, "for repeated slimming and refluxing to break at the referee's orders." His opponent was a powerful slugger (white), named Frank Morna. When the physician examined Nomo, who complained of a severe pain in his bend after the fight had been stopped, the referee called for a drummer had been broken by the blows of adversary, and that Nomo was stoned deaf, which accounted for his failure in the head of the referee.

LINCOLN BUSY ON COURT AND FIELD
Morrison Plans to Start Spring Football Early in February
Lincoln University basketball team will invade the West on Feb. 13 when they will play the American Legion Club at the New Savoy in Chicago. On their western tour the Lions will play three other games in southern Illinois, Simmons College in Louisville, Ky., and also one of the Cleveland teams. These games will cover the period Feb. 13 to Feb. 20. Lincoln University will play all other games of the C.I.A. A, and all other games scheduled for Lincoln, as home games will be played in Philadelphia.
Morrison plans to start spring football practice as soon as the examination period ends at Lincoln, which will be about Feb. 2.
The Lions have begun preparation for the incoming track season. The first call for candidates brought a happy reply of 25 trotters of theinder path. Frank Mitchell, the captain of the Lincoln team for theseason of 1928, turned in a verypromising performance in the Meadowbrook run on Thanksgiving Day. Frank Mitchell took sixth place in afield of 150 of the nation's best. Oscar Lee, another of the boys from the Quacker City, now attendingLincoln, came in fifty-second in thesame race.
There seems to be a wealth ofgreen material at Lincoln this year,besides the few veterans thatremain. Bryant, the veteran weightman from last year's team, isshowing signs of improvement in allfieldevents. A new man in the fieldevents by the name of Kea isshowingup very well.
In the sprints a freshman by the name of Waddell looks very promising. This lad halls from the famous Manassas institute team. John Silvera, brother of the famous "eagle Beak" Silvera, the tennis, basketball and track star, is showing up very well in the half mile.
Many of the other new men look very good and from all appearances Lincoln will have a good track season. The Lions will have a well balanced team of 15 men in the Hamilton track meet. They are going in this and other meets to win, not to make a good showing.
Lincoln also hopes to enter two teams in the Penn relays. One team will run in the class that Lincoln has always run and the other team will run in the senior relay, the event which Howard runs.
Ike Young and Sydnor are expected to turn in a few points for Lincoln in the high jump. Both of these men hold New Jersey high school records. Young's record still stands. Sydnor also jumps well over 22 feet in the broad jump. Hillman, the former captain of Wilkes-Barre High School, is at present doing better than the C. I. A. A. record in the pole vault. It is probable that this lad will establish a new record in the C. I. A. A. Lee, a veteran of last year's team. is doing very well in his event, the pole vault. Fletcher and Derry of last year's relay team are coming along fine.
COURSE IN ATHLETIC TRAINING Will,Be Given at Tuskegee Summer School in
June
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., Jan. 28—Teachers in high and elementary schools, who also have charge of coaching or training athletic teams and young men who are contemplating taking up athletic coaching as a career, will find to include advice to investigate the course to be given in the summer school for coaches to be held June 4 to July 6, 1928.
In establishing this work in athletic coaching and physical education for men, Tuskegee is seeking to meet a demand which comes from school administrators for young men who can handle academic subjects, coach academic subjects and take charge of the physical exercises of the school playground.
There is a constant demand for young men fitted as cutlined above. Requests for this type of young men come from all parts of the South.
Last year the placement bureau received requests from schools for young men who could teach athletes along with some phase of trade or academic work.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FER. 1, 1928
The Introduction Is Made by One of Our Friends on a New York Daily
By PAUL GALLICO, N. Y. Daily News
A boy five years ago in the summer time, a colored boy with straight black hair and pleasant features dressed in odds and ends of rugged clothing, marched up to Harry Garsh, a fight manager in a gymnasium in New Rochelle, and said: "Please, Mister Garsh, I think I'd like to be aighter."
Garsh at the time was physical director of the New Rochelle K. of C. and owner several restaurants in that flourishing suburban village. He had never seen the colored boy before. He didn't turn him down. He told him to come up to the gymnasium and put on the gloves with Johnny Rochelle, the New Rochelle lightweight, whom he was managing at the time. What Garsh told Rochelle was nobody's business, certainly not that of the little colored stranger. Harry suggested that Rochelle try to knock his block off. There was no spirit of meanness in this. He wanted to find out whether the boy could fight. He did:
The young colored boy stripped, and when Garsh saw his body he let out a little gasp, and when the two lightweights got into the ring it was the colored boxer that compelled the eye. They rang the ball, and after three rounds Garsh stopped it to save Rochelle from further punishment. "You'll do!" he said. "What's your name, sonny?"
"My name is Bruce Flowers, suh!" said the boy.
Bruce helped around Garsh's restaurants, washed dishes and swept out for his meals, made himself useful and trained. He boxed when and where he was asked. Garsh discovered that the boy had fought extensively in the amateurs in New York as well as in New Rochelle. One defeat had been challenged against him. Paul Berlionbach, another promising lightweight, won a decision over him. Berlionbach, who, it seems, was a reformed wrestler, hit Flowers with a frightful left hand that floored him twice. But that was the only bout that he lost.
That, as near as I can make out, was the beginning of the fighter who appeared in the Garden last Friday, night against Tenorio, a Filipino lightweight who hits like a punch in the nose from Jack Dempsey. Flowers himself said after the shindy: "O, can he hit, Mister, can he hit! He hit me right up here on the side of the head with that right hand in the third round. If he hit me on the jaw with that one, I never would have woke up. Did you say could he hit?"
No contract exists between Garsh and Flowers. True, there is one on file at the boxing commission as required by law, but there is none that binds the two together in any legal fashion. Flowers trusts Garsh, and nobody can ever say, as far as I know, that Garsh has failed that trust. It seems that when a good white man and a good colored man trust one another papers are unnecessary. Garsh takes a one-third cut from Flowers' purses, and nobody else cuts in. In other words, Bruce is one of the few fighters today who is not syndicated. Garsh has never paid a nickel of tribute to anyone for the privilege of getting big shots, and never will. His boy fought himself into such recognition at the Commonwealth, now the Olympia A. C, that the fight fans demanded to see him in action against the stars.
Flowers lives in New Rochelle with his wife and little girl and is never out of training. He never speaks more than ten words at a time, and is a child at heart. His biggest thrill when he got on a Garden card was the knowledge that his name would appear on that big moving electric sign on Broadway, all spelled out in golden letters. He made a special trip down from New Rochelle to stand on the corner and see it. The sign spelled off the names of the principals and semi-finalists and wound up with "... and other bouts." When Bruce was signed for the Tenorio fight he didn't know who his opponent was to be. The only question he asked was: "Will my name be in that there sign this time, Mr. Garsh?" In the ring Flowers is a rip-tearing performer, with all of the strength of his race and none of its weakness. His tough, hard little body with stands attack to head or body, and when he hears the heroes in the audience yell. "Hit him in the belly. He can't take it there!" he laughs. He isn't happy until the going gets rough. Many colored fighters have been known to curl up when hurt or when they didn't find themselves in front. Flowers doesn't get going until he has been stung, and his rally to come from behind with Tenorio was one of the most thrilling moments the Garden ever put on. The harder he is hit the harder he fights. I hope the boy is treated honestly and decently by the game and that he goes on to a championship.

The latter question was fired point blank at the writer by an old quarter milder whose amateur card has been Oked by the headquarter moguls of lower Broadway for twelve consecutive years. According to this card, "an amateur is one who participates in sports solely for the social and physical benefits derived therefrom and to who sport is an avocation."
"What is the limit of time," said the writer to the old timer, "one can devote to a sport in order to be classified as a simon pure?"

At the risk of becoming a bit personal, I queried the old boy in order to find if he had participated in sports for twelve years solely for the physical benefits derived therefrom.
"I get a huge kick out of sports," quoted he. "It keeps me in the limelight, which is worth hundreds of dollars in advertisement to any business man.
"Assuming that the average college athlete goes into football for the physical benefits of the sport, what proportion realize their ambition?" asked the writer.
"For varsity players I would put the percentage very low, mused the old timer. The greater number of my old teammates on the Howard eleven came out of sports with decided physical handicaps. Football takes a high toll of the best athletes in college. The individual is caught between a strong crossfire of group pressure, which we call college spirit and administrative expediences, which are controlled by economic laws. For the glory of Alma Mater, he sacrifices his utmost energies. In my day I saw a teammate give his life to prevent a touchdown; two captains end their football career on the operating table of the local hospital. Another teammate, a senior dental student, broke a finger in scrimmage which incapacitated him both for football and dentistry. They have not begun to write accident insurances on football players. When you're hurt, it's just too bad," he ended.
I pondered for several minutes over the cold facts uncovered by the old quarter miller. I thought of the football training table, established by the school authorities in order to provide maximum efficiency in training; of the unigympathetic pedagogue demanding scholarship above par from students "who are participating in useless activities"; of the financial responsibilities that aawit these athletes after Thanksgiving by grace of too much football. Verily, verily, methought, he who pays to play football should have his cranium examined.

Lope Tenorio, Filipino, No Match for Bruce Flowers in Contest Friday Night
Lope Tenorio, Filipino, No Match for Bruce Flowers in Contest Friday Night
Colored Fighter Did Not Get Started Until Middle of the Fight, When He Cut Loose and Lambasted His Opponent
Bruce Flowers, New Rochelle's Negro lightweight contender, came within an ace of losing his position of contendership in the final ten-round bout at Madison Square Garden last Friday night. Lope Tenorio, Filipino battler, making his debut in New York, was walloping his way, apparently to victory and success for five full rounds, when Bruce snapped out of it with sufficient vigor to earn himself a draw. The 13,419 cash customers wifo shelled out $35,514 in good United States currency to see Mesara, Flowers and Tenorio shash away at each other went away thoroughly convinced that, while Lope is definitely a first-rate lightweight, Bruce is no hum-and-egger.
As a matter of fact, there were quite a few cash customers who thought Flowers could cause any of our present day lightweight crop more than passing concern. For the manner in which the New Rochelle 'boy came back in the late moments of his argument with Tenorio stamped him with the single word—class. Class was written all over his performance.
Tenorio Starts Impressively.
Tenorio started impressively by taking the first round, more through his long distance body attack than anything else. In the second stanza the Filipino bomberdied Bruce with a barrage of rights and left that had the latter in a rather dized condition. And in the third Lope made the fana picture a knockout and an upset by rocking Flowers with a right and as left to the chin. By this time, however, Bruce had come to a realization of what was going on and began to fight back with the unluckiness of a cornered wildcat. Jahnah was once else and he pummed Tenorio's body with much frequency that the fourth round was his by a clear margin.
Tenorio speeded up his attack in the fifth and won it by a shade, but again in the sixth flowers came on to gain the honors, though by a slim marshal, and the scraper played for the Filipino faecal and played for it well, a worried look making its appearance on Lopes's countenance. Flowers went down from a left to the stomach when he was caught off balance near the end of the frame, but burgled. Flowers, fighting with a viciousness that could not be doubted, took the eight and ninth rounds with ease. The tenth might be called even, what with both battlers trying their hardest to meet the judges' favor, but Tenorio was not so fortunate. Flowers when the final bell sounded. Each weighed 135 pounds, one pound over the lightweight limit, Lou Magnolia referred. Willie Pelman, of the East Side, defended the position of Poikos, the curtain-running four-spot. Pelman's best weapon was a left upper-cut. Pelman scaled 135, Sikl, 1521.

Humbert Fugazy Will Attempt to Stage Real Elimination Among Heavyweights
Tex Rickard's Bunk Plainly Seen and George Godfrey Will Get a Chance to Show His Wares Against the Best
In the belief that Tex Rickard's heavyweight elimination is the bunk and that more logical contenders are being left in the cold, possibly because they might defeat logical contenders. Humbert J. Fugazy announces that he will conduct an elimination tournament, to include such hard-bitting heavies as Roberto Roberti, Knute Hansen, George Godfrey and possibly Firpo, and offer the winner as an opponent for Gene Tunney. Fugazy mentions no names other than those of his heavyweights, but his meaning is fairly clear.
"I have come to the conclusion that true fans and friends of boxing share my disgust with the present practice of hand picking contenders for the heavyweight championship through a series of eliminating tournaments that are arranged with one eye on the box office and the other peeled for the possibility of the wrong entrant slipping into the challenging position. I thought at first that the heavyweight hippodrome of the last indoor season, which might just as well have been omitted as far as the championship was concerned, would end this flastic farce, but here we are in the middle of another burlesque that probably will end with Gene Tunney meeting Jack Dempsey again, although the latter never has and never will be found in an elimination tournament for several reasons.
"Wherefore, at this time I am taking the opportunity to announce plans, which, when carried out, will make the phase for the heavyweight championship more of a competitive and less of a selective proposition. In short, I purpose to break the monopolistic hold on the heavyweight situation, a grip, which so far, permits an individual to dictate to the champion and to name the contenders, whether or not those named distinction on their past performances records or promise for the future.
"I am working on a match to bring together George Godfrey, the Negro contender, who has been ignored completely in the current scramble, and Knute Hawen who, in my opinion, is one of the world's best heavyweights. Both are powerful punchers of the type appreciated by the fans and far ahead of the present field in this respect. In that case far ahead of deserved that neither included in the ranks of the ringmen now supposed to the marching toward the heavyweight heights.
"I also have commissioned Billy McCarney to try to induce Luis Flirpo or Victory Campolo, the hard-punching South Americans, to come here and if he is successful I will match one or the other with Roberto Roberti, who by that time should be on a par with any of the present contenders, judging by his present rate of progress. It is my idea to match the winners of these two bouts and ask Tunney to defend his title against the ultimate victor, a good challenger who has reached the end of his own ability and did not materially shuffling of a pack of medici-tenant." Notice that the men included in these plans are big, strong punchers, dangerous at all times.
"I might add that these bouts will be put on at prices within the range of all.
"It is unnecessary to dwell on the recent records and the possibilities of both Godfrey and Hansen, but, in view of some criticism leveled at Roberti, perhaps a word on the young Italian heart would be in order. Since his arrival here Roberti had had 13 undefeated starts, most of which have been won knockouts. His last victory, a six-round knockout over Monty Munn, was for itself. If that bout had been right here instead of in Boston, his success would have been silenced for Roberti. Munn isn't to be rated with the foremost contenders, but he is a better puncher than any now trying for the right to meet Tunney. Roberti took in one count in the first round and a win or more of Munn's hardest right-handed punches to the chin in the course he uphill struggle that resulted as mentioned. Roberti has developed ter-

Washington Team Drops Out of Basketball League
Whereas the activities of the Eastern League were somewhat hampered last week because the Carlisle Field Club, Washington's representatives, did not make the trip to Atlantic City for their scheduled game with the Vandals, enough of interest transpired to throw the officials into a state of pandemonium. On the 18th a wire was received from the manager of the Carlisles stating that his club would not go through with their schedule and wished to withdraw from the league.
From what could be learned from sources that proved to be authentic, the only reason that the Carlisles could present was their failure to meet their obligation. Bankruptcy in Washington this season has been a complete failure and because the team was not properly financed at the beginning of the year Conway has gone into debt considerably. In addition to financial worries, the Carlisle Club received a setback in the league standing because of woeful neglect in living up to the association's bylaws.
CARLTON VS. 135TH ST.
On Saturday, February 4, the young men's division team of the Carlton Avenue "Y" will invade Harlem and attempt to win a second victory over the 155th Street aggregation of basketball in the Brooklyn fans were somewhat displeased when Harlem sent over to Carlton some weeks ago. They didn't have a chance against the Carlton boys' attack. Up until the present time Carlton Y. M. D. leads 155th Street in victories, having won three and dropped one in games. All Brooklynites are urged to take a train ride and pull for Carlisle.

BROWN RETURNS BY AQUITANIA
BROWN RETURNS BY AQUITANIA
Storms Delay Boat on Which Crack Fighter Returned Last Thursday
The "Idol of the Parisians" returned to the United States on board the Aquitania last Thursday morning, meaning which that no less a person than the popular little Al. Brown is once more on United States soil. Brown looks the picture of health and is enthusiastic of the wonderful reception given him by the European people. The moment he did so, Brown said it for the Amsterdam News, the only paper which has religiously followed his career in the ring in Europe.
In speaking of his sojourn abroad, he is particularly anxious that the French people know how much he appreciates the many courtesies extended him while a resident of the French republic. During the last few weeks of his stay, Brown made this to Italy, Switzerland, England, Brussels, Spain and Germany.
Out of ten fights in which the crack bantam engaged, he won eight and lost two questionable decisions. However, after his fight with Routis he complimented the Frenchman, despite the fact that the white boy fouled him three times during the contest. Five knockouts, three clean-cut decisions and the two taken from him, already spoken of, were the last Friday night at Madison Square Garden, where he want to see the Bruce Flowers-Lope Tenorio fight, he was introduced and received a big hand. Matchmaker Jess McMahon was already offered Brown a match at the Garden, the date to be decided by the fighter. It is said that February 10 or 23 would suit the Garden matchmaker, but Brown is anxious to get his "land legs" and informed the writer that he would prefer the 23d date. No opponent has as yet been named, but the fighter will be ready to him, as he will be ready to meet the best of them when he gets started.
Brown has brought back word that confirms the good things we have been saying about a number of our performers in Europe. Alberta Hunter, he tells us, is one of the most popular women of color now entertaining "over there," while Johnny Hudgins is the last word at the Moulin Rouge. Al. plans to return to the scene of his European conquests within a year.
St Barnabas Teams Took Two Jan. 24th
The St. Barnabas Sunday school teams, playing in the Carlton "T" League, had very little trouble defeating both Fleet Street and Bridge Street in the 120-pound and 145-pound leagues, respectively, on January 24. Some of the lightweight players on all of the teams are getting their first taste of real basketball competition. Despite the fact that their games can be greatly improved upon, the spirit of competition on both players' and spectors' sides runs high. The 120-pound results: St. Barnabus, 18; Fleet Street, 5. The Bridge Street players fought hard. It was an uphill struggle all the way. First, because they were without DeFraeus, who coached his boys with the team, they were against a more experienced team. The St. Barnabus boys were fast, clever passers and good shooters. Final score: 50-8. Referee James Robertson.

At the Roosevelt
How two American doughboys can get into all kinds of amusing and dangerous situations and blunder through them with true American pluck and luck, forms one of the season's most hilarious comedy-dramas, "Two Arabian Knights," which begins its three day run at the Roosevelt Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday. It's a post-war film but most of the war, and none of the laughs, has been left out. William Beyd, newest favorite, plays the stellar role. It is his first film composed, exhilarating and entertaining, adopts himself to control with the same show of ability that sky-rocked him to stardom after his appearance in "The Volga Boatman."
At the Douglas
Because Director Henry King chanced to visit the Constanzo Theatre in Rome while filming "The White Sister," Augustine Borgate, the noted Italian character actor, was added to the cast of "The Magie Flame," which comes to the Douglas Theatre the latter part of this week. King went to get the immortal Duse King was caught by Borgate, who had an impartant supporting role. After the performance, King saw the actor and attempted to stage him for a part in "The White Sister."

The Hula-Hula and Hootchie-Macootch As Danced at Our Harlem Theatres
Gives Our Porto Rican, Cuban and Other Spanish Speaking Friends the Right to Protest When a Blanket Indictment Is Made of Their Morals
Journalistic Gymnastics That Make Us Smile
And We Now Find Ourselves in the West 115th Street Branch of the Public Library. Where the Festival "Noche Espanila" Is Being Presented by Our Friends, Which Drives Us to the Poetic Mood
By the EDITOR
It was that most charming of creatures, the late Aida Overton Walker, who gaily sang in one of those presentations so far superior to the present day "revue" we cannot help but recall the inspiration of the past to help us and give us the necessary strength to say what we are about to say this day. But let us hear beloved Aida and bring back a mind picture of her as her appealing voice tells us: Porto Rico is the place to be.
Suits me, honey, to a T;
Won't you come and dance with me,
To that raggy, draggy melody?
Bout my waltz and two-step I am wild.
But, oh you Porto Rico style;
I guess I'll stick a while
In Porto Rico Isle.
So one night, talking to the lady, who died without a peer in her line, she asked me what was the place of which she was singing like, to which we bowed and wrote for her:
A place where, fair Alda, there are
Green hills, green trees, babbling brooks,
A land of hidden caves, cozy nooks;
Undulating in the breeze,
Where huge, gigantic tropic trees
Bend low health their luscious weight
Thy appetite would satiate.
Getting a little closer to our story, let us reveal that we again made the excursion to commune with nature. Whenever we are riled or unusually pleased about something, we go back to nature and, recalling things of the past and mixing them with the present, we find it much easier to inflict on an indulgent public a flow of words almost without end. Look ye, we have cleared the path today, Sunday, year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-eight.
On both sides of us the little green plots are covered with a blanket of snow and our friends, the aparrows, are surrounded by crumbs. We had scattered earlier to them to come from the trees and commune with us. We were riled as we gathered our thoughts. That privacy which should be ours whenever we have occasion to talk to the artist of the roped arena or the theatre we find it so hard to enjoy. There are those who must inject themselves into our conversations and suggest matters foreign to what we must know. At times it is an esperantism. For those Lord, for it is dollars to doughnuts they know not what they do!
But new we smile, for our thoughts are rewriting, the mental gymnastics we have been practicing the week just passed. A blanket indictment in a local weekly had charged a Porto Ricans, Cubans and other Spanish speaking residents of this community with everything under the umbrella of the crimes from that learned mind on these people from the islands of the sea would lead one not knowing to say "unclean, unclean," if you happened to see them in the article. The Porto Ricans, Cubans and some of the other Spanish speaking peoples gathered their heavy artillery and made a pilgrimage West 135th street. We caught up with them on the expedition, but awaited the promised explanations in the same journal and my, when they were forthcoming, they made the gods roar with mirth and nounced the completion of their journalistic calesthenics. We find that the editor had been out of town. Perhaps he was on his way to Mexico where, he killed him because of some heroic action on his part.
This gentleman in an inspired editorial reaffirmed his love and fealty to all people of foreign extraction. In juxtaposition to the rest of the saintable Boston Post, who monthly reviews the doings of our newspapers of sundown hue, we are going to gather the articles, those "before using" and those "after using, and may them to him, for the sake of the pleasure of a laugh once in a while in lieu of the splendid work he is doing in behalf of the race. That editorial of which we speak is a humdinger, but it is the same one about face of our esteemed creator of the article that created the furore.
The writer of that article learned for the first time that though his name has gone to the public column we have all been maked into believing was written by his own pen or typewriter, on this occasion it was something contributed WHICH HE HAD written in heavy, guttural tone, ending in high key: S-O-O-G-O-O-O-H? Then, if we dare ask, is Arumo? Is it possible that he is writing analytical articles and apparently so satisfied to allow him to name to grape the output of his mind?
o staging the dance kind would lie on them. Which, if you must

ask, speaks well for our Spanish speaking and Haitian friends. Before the Alhambra Theatre "came over" these same Spanish speaking people used to day night at dramatic plays on Sunday at Haitians we are introducing to our readers in another column of today's paper, they were inspired by a background which made them proud of their countrymen who were martyrs and gladiators of the body, but that liberty of the body, but that liberty of free minds which sent hundreds of Haitians to their death at the hands of American Marines and that liberty which another is fighting for right now, our institutions, especially the theatre, offer anything above the ordinary we would find many of the Spanish speaking people of culture bringing to us their wealth of material for the inspiration, outline and questionable humor of called comedians, blackface and others.
Seeking the better side of our friends we did not have to journey far last Friday night to find that Spanish Town's swift migration from West Friar is now accomplished and recognized by the invaded neighborhood. In the West 115th street branch of the New York Public Library, where formative philosophy and many studies of dance are danced to Spanish tunes, a Cuban sang his folk-songs, a Brazilian strummed a guitar and a Porto Rican poet recited his stanzas. Noeha Spanish the welcoming festival was called, and while it might have been a danced-dark-haired smiling man whose palms clattered at the familiar tunes, the traditional dances, and the plan to combine the best of Spanish culture with American methods which Dr. Michael, president of the Nationalist Party of Porto Rico, thundered at them.
The Spanish Night was planned by Miss Leach Lewinsohn, the head of the library, and advertised in the vernacular newspapers for the purpose of bringing the library into closer contact with the new population surrounding it. It was carried out with the participation of the Porto Rican Brotherhood.
Miss Pura Belpre, Miss Lewinsohn's Spanish-speaking assistant (for the Spanish-speaking clientele has increased so quickly and largely that all the staff is studying the tongue and 500 Spanish volumes have been put on the shelves) was in charge of the program, and another Spanish-speaking member of the library staff, Miss Maria Climino, contributed several songs.
Ah, yes, it would be hard to let the denunciation of these people go without a word when we hearken back in fancy to memories of cool tropic nights, beautiful moonlight, the soft strumming on guitars and mandolins, the enticing sonraddance with melodious flute sending forth its tones at the hands of an imitated artist; black-eyed, black-mired senortas and—
"Oh heart of my heart,
When the clouds hang red
Over thy sunlit Caribbean Sea:
And the weary hours of the day have fled.
Hast thou never a thought for me?
Is there never a star at twilight's close
Or a wave that ripples the sea.
Or a memory, old in the heart of a
Or a memory lied in the heart of a rose
That whispers my love for thee?
That whispers my love for thee?
Cruelly me not, oh my journalistic brothers, for what I have this day said, rise and confess that you had for thee the same love that I have for you to that place where you were forced to promise never, yes, never again, would you again indict an entire people for the fallings of a few.
"Two Arabian Knights"
At the Lincoln Theatre
Love and laughter, with two American soldiers and an Arab girl as the principals, are the principal ingredients of the "Two Arabian Knights," postwar daugherty comedy-drama, which will be held at Lincoln Theatre Thursday to Sunday. None of the sorrow of war enters the story, which is concerned with the rollicking experiences of a rich, young private and a hard-holled sergeant, faded by buddies throughout a series of events, though they have been natural enemies. The lead is played by William Boyd, late of "The Volga Boatman."
IN THE DEFENSE OF THEOPHILUS LEWIS Negro Reserves Right to Demand Better Things
White Writer Takes Exception to Lewis
Hence We Take Up the Cudgels in Behalf of the Writer and Our Own
A WELL-KNOWN white man in the community, taking exception to an article written by Theophilus Lewis of the Messenger Magazine and other public publications following few lines in behalf of the Alhambra Theatre: "Theophilus Lewis and eleven other highbrowls will not care for it, but more than a thousand normal human beings who love to laugh applaud the Alhambra last evening. "Laughter is a gift of the gods. It is the definite distinishing mark of difference between man and the lower animals. Bahous do not laugh and bother do highbrows—at least not so." "Life has cares enough. Let us forget them. Better still, let us down them in billows of merriment. And while we at a good comedy show, let us throw in an extra 'ha-ha' for the poor unfortunate choke, with long words of Greek and Latin origin, and who view an average mortals with a sour stomach."
Let us now write the score for Mr. Lewis. Score one; I doubt seriously whether he claimed that colored theatre scores in Hardam are the average. Heart-rattling jokes, burdened down with the moss of time, it takes an audience BELOW THE AVERAGE TO ENJOY THE SAMING AND OVER THE AVERAGE ALMOST TWENTY YEARS. Feed this writer the same morsel every day for a week and there is going to be a revolution. Score two, for Lewis of course: The argument as set forth by the white writer snacks of the kind which went hand and the Bible in the other, brother. Laughter is indeed a gift of the gods, but the trouble with our white exploiters, especially in the theatre, they keep us laughing and while we laugh they re-examine the places and this while we are laughing.
When we do stop laughing, we wake up to the realization that where those men who made us laugh are living in communities surrounded by the best of civilization, we throw them line by line against the invasion of even the most cultured Negro. The children of these same white men are not fed on the terrible burlesque, with their laughter illumination cast over them the time, but enjoy the opportunity of choosing the best to be offered in the theatre.
Life hasn't allowed for the Negro where his welfare is concerned. From the stage can come that inspiration to laughter, to better things. We as a race, have too readily forgotten our cares and are prone to follow the white man's suggestion of laughing all the time. But the police of those who would keep us down to keep us laughing all the time?
Score three to a hundred for Lewis; is it such a terrible thing for one of us to use the languages taught in our best colleges when speaking of the whole theatre? Perhaps Lewis is fully aware that he did not write for the yokels who would nightly patronize the剧院 which he so truthfully states in his book, "Theatre by Byeone day." He did not take them to task because he knew only too well it would be useless, hence his article was for the consumption of those reaching the剧院. They would attend the theatres in Harlem. They have seen it all and are seeking something new. True, baboons do not laugh, that is why even the superior Nordic man means to prune them of their liberties. We have seen them grin, brother, and the Lord knows that the best of men will hesitate at tackling a baboon who grins. Man to man, what would a man do to any prize fighter his weight?
Let the Negro stop laughing for a while and gather intellectual and material weight and the剧院 will rise that will allow him to see himself at his own pace. He will be trained by those who are not bothered with our progress. The Negro race can stand thousands of young men like Theophilus Lewis—young men who will prove to us that our work does not need his city, and the time is fast approaching when the inspiring writings of such like Lewis will drive for all time from the colored newspapers the junk, trash, and the material being used to maintain advertisements.
It tomorrow by some trick of fate we are forced to relinquish our position and a Theophilus Lewis, unhampered, should step in, we would feel that it is the sacrifice which we should make in the future, and we would threshing around in the amusement world because of a lack of those things which make men's hearts beat with the pride that insinure them to do big things. The most insipid mind can conceive the present day revue. The dramatic recollection of the life of a substantial one) with any theatrical manager in the community that with the same inducement he can produce within the short space of a week a revue as good as any being offered in the theatre. THAT MANY WE HAVE SEEN WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS.
In conclusion, we beg leave to say we have no quarrel with any of our friends in the world of the theatre. We wish to be in the world of the theatre. If there must be yokels there must be somebody to lead them on to laughter by constantly tickling their ribs. Mr. Lewis voiced the sentiment of thousands of Negroes, and knowing that he would be able to let the world know that at least one newspaper had the courage to share the convictions which he so nibly set forth in "Ebony and Topaz." Let joy he unconfined and let the Lewises, Schulters and Gordons take the stage to tell their
"STOP! GO! REVUE"
The odd title of the new musical comedy, starting Monday, is the "Stop Go! Revue," and the Alhambra folks have been learning it. We did learn that the title is based on the words "Stop" and "Go" on the traffic device at busy street corners. Johnny Hines will be the photoplay of his famous comedy, "The Cracker-black."

Haytians in the Drama Here
THE FOUR MEN
We announce to the public that the "Haytian Progressive Club," whose bureau we are introducing below, had given on the 14th of January last a Theatrical Evening in French and in English at the Elk Imperial Auditorium.
Front row, center—Theophile Salnave, President. (Haytian actor and author of great renown. His latest play, entitled The Glory of Our Race, has been shown with great success.)
Left—Marcel St. Leger, Secretary and Vice-Pres. (Haytian actor. Had played the African part in L'Oracle, the great Haytian drama by M. Coicou. Also the Black Lindy in The Glory of Our Race.)

Back row, left—Leon Paris, Counsellor. (The "Sheik of Joe" in The Glory of Our Race.)

Ramon Castillo Won Spanish Championship Recently
Cuban Fighter Believes in Making Hay and Is Dancing the Charleston Now
A letter just breezed in all the way from Barcelona, Spain, coming to us from Ramon Castillo, the Cuban fighter who made such a hit upon his arrival in Europe, one of the 'publications in France devoting an entire page to him. Ramon recently won the lightweight title in the 2012 Olympics, and was also going to do in the ring for a while, he has been pulling down some jack by giving exhibitions of the Charleston and Black Bottom. It was Pedro Antonio that Ramon put away to get into the ring, and hence they turn out in large numbers to see his terpsilochene exhibitions, for Antonio was very popular.
Under separate cover we also received the newspapers including our Ramon to the skies. We learn that the latter part of March will find Castillo pitted against Louis Rayo in Madrid for what is billed as the championship of Europe. Rayo won the title but plans to leave for his dear Madrid the middle of the present month.
Robinson Show at the Lafayette This Week a Riot
Aside from the fine performance of Sam Wooding's Band, this week's show at the Lafayette is far superior to that of last week, because called "On the Air," and engaged by the music of one of the most promising of the younger producers. Robinson has gathered together a splendid company and welded them into a fine revue. He has also worked with the music system which the Lafayette Theatre has installed. The effects were applauded again and again. The cast includes Jean Starr, Edith Widman, William Hearn, Johnnie and Eddie, Graham George Williams, John Vigil and one of the greatest colored dancing teams on the stage today, Brown and McCarthy. The show is a hit from the word 'go.' The photoplay part of the program includes Constance Talmadge in her latest feature "Breakfast at Sunrise."
"Dixie Vagabonds" Next Week
An imposing array of talent is announced for next week's show at the Lafayette Theatre: Maud Millis, Evelyn Browne, Craddock and Shadney, Billy Hippe, Lily Yuen, Browne and Perry, Edward Thompson, Ernest Whitman, Nappy Lee and Lottie Brown. The revue is entitled "Dixie 'aggrandis" and is beamed up by the cast. Twelve dancing girls and a new jazz hand will also be included in the cast.
Alhambra Stock Company Back Home This Week
"Harlem's Darlings" are back home again. When the curtain rang up on them, the Alhambra has given there was an audience, all of them, from Tim Moore and Slim Henderson down to the tiniest smiling chorus girl. The darlings work with them in equal amount of which could be hard to find. Tim Moore, the immutable, offer one of the clearest sketches, full of paths and chock-full of laughs, and Slim Henderson, the goofy, fight the Zulu, adds to the intimate Mantan, whose grotesque antics set the audience rocking with laughter. Gerald Moore, George Green and Mace gesture active for those famous comedy men. The feature picture for the last half of the week is "Meddling Women," starring Lionel Barrymore—a heart-stopping active for those famous comedy men. The extra midnight show Wednesday will be an ovation for the Alhambra stars, headlorners, and, of course, the girls. Many theatrical people have arisen to box parties for the midnight "ramble."
Letter From the Honorable Lady Cook, a British Peeress
Letter From the Honorable Lady Cook, a British Peeress
Wherein She Plans to Start the Florence Mills Fund in England Soon.
I trust you will be able to find space in your valuable paper to insert s letter, which I believe may be of interest to your readers.
I am proposing, with the kind assistance of Mr. C. B. Cochran, to get up a special matinee benefit performance at the London Pavilion in the memory and honor of the late Florence Mills.
I feel sure that all the colored artists in London will gladly give their services, and also that I can depend on the co-operation of many white actors and actresses who knew and admired the talents and personality of Florence Mills.
I would like to have it clearly understood that, while the primary object of the benefit is to honor Florence Mills' memory, the money raised is to be given to establish a fund called "The Florence Mills' Fund," in connection with the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored people."
Florence Mills was herself a member of this society, and always when speaking publicly in London she would refer to the good it was doing for her race; its work is therefore known of in London, and presumably would be supported here.
Florence Mills' private friends here also knew of her interest in the work of the "N. A. A. C. P." as being the concrete expression of her own desire for the recognition of the advancement of her own people.
In conclusion may I add that my own sympathies arising from my personal friendship with Florence Mills, and others of her race, he all with a society whose aim and object, on broad and good lines, is to help all those who need and desire assistance, to rise in any profession or trade whatsoever.
MARY COOK
The above letter from the Honorable Lady Cook will be read with a great deal of interest and appreciation on the part of the many friends of the late Florence Mills. While there can be no question of the good the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is doing, we are somewhat surprised that Lady Cook would rather start a new Florence Mills' Fund when we already have an organization working towards erecting a home for colored performers through the Florence Mills' Memorial Fund now staging benefits all over the country.
Those behind the Florence Mills' Memorial Fund in this country had hoped to enlist the aid of the estimable Lady Cook, and the news of what she plans to do at this time will be received with great surprise by those valent men and women devoting their efforts towards a lasting monument to Miss Mills.
The idea of creating such a fund for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a splendid one, and under ordinary circumstances would have helped to vally thousands to the cause of which we consider ourselves a loyal supporter, but to come at a time when something else had been fostered by her associates in the world of the theatre is most untimely, albeit funds going into the association through such a move would add materially to the strength of those loyal men and women fighting the battles of the race.
We are of the opinion that the gentleman behind the Mills' Fund Committee here made a grave mistake when they failed to enlist the aid of Lady Cook in helping to erect the building which will mean so much to the members of the profession of which Miss Mills was an honored member.
The Haytians Would Have a Word
LIKE a zephyriac brocche from a warm tropic like came to us Monsieur Theophile Salmine, grandson of a former president of the Hayton Republic and one of those cultured, intelligent and ambitious men it has been our good fortune to meet when browsing around in the Caribbean to escape the ricors of a northern winter. Like our old friend Jose Gareth Innerity, grandson of that Culman general, those memory all Cubans will ever keep fresh in their minds, Monsieur Salmine will ever keep that will inspire a better day in these theatres catering to Negroes all over. And with the wealth of material at his digestsure for inspiring his people it was not hard even for him to find in the lives of those noble black men who fought and died for their liberty things to transmit to a generation more in need of leaders than of American Martins. Cissy Salmine infected into some of his dramatic work things distasteful to the present rulers of his country, hence he is. America seeking an outfit. But his road will be a hard one, for he is not yet conversant with our language, and there are so few of us conversant with him—the outlying French of Frenchmen. Of course Monsieur Salmine is also conversant with his country's "patron."

but even that nots a barrier between us. Be that it may, he feels that whatever he might have to offer is of such depth a Negro audience CAN FILL IT will not necessarily have to understand the language. But look ye, he it is prepared to put on his plays in English, which we almost forget in our time, that the reader to him is in no doubt of a sense of humor in his Glory of Race," which he graciously accepted from us for one of his plays, has injected the necessary humor which plays its part in working up to that intimate climax which we expect in the best of plays. Monsieur Salmave feels it his country is not well enough known to Americans of color, therefore we told him to tell us of this phase of his observation during the time he has been tired.
"The Republic of Haytli as a black country in the American continent," he says, "is not well enough known by other Negroes of the world, and especially American Negroes.
"This fact is the consequence of the lack of propaganda on the part of the rytian Government, which, instead of affecting in the annual budget of the country, has been adopted by most of the European powers, especially by emman, France and England, has always closed its eyes upon such a necessary alter.
"Of course I must humble state that Haytli is not on the same basis as those powers, but nevertheless there is no reason why this beautiful and sunny his republic (also known as the Eagle Bay) should be the only place in the American Negroes, who have the same race pride as our brothers of Haytli for such heroic deeds of those of a Toussaint Louverture in Capolux La Mort.
"In speaking of Toussaint Louverture or of Capolux La Mort, one might say that he does not know who they are, but I will say, in short, that Toussaint was a grandchild of an African king taken as a slave to Haytli, who had raised itself up to the peak of a governorship recognized and admired by the whole
"As to Capolix, he is the man whose horse was killed under him by French militants in the War of Independence at Vertierest who, regardless of the danger of the moment, pulled his sword and erried to his Negro soldiers: 'forward, dear countryside.' The French communicated in chief, who had witnessed, that heroic deed derailed his men to stop striving and sent a messenger with one of his own horses, a gift to the Negro general and congratulated him for such bravery. Then he fight went on with more fierceness until the Negroes had driven the French out of the position they had held.
Considering all their facts and the beautiful history of Haiti, one feels sure that knowing more about her would considerably promote friendship in the future among the RACE living in two different countries, having each their own different ways of existence, socially, economically and artistically."

A number of the better class of colored residents of Jamaica, L. I. up in arms over what they claim is a most alarming lack of police protection, because the majority of property owners on the South Side Negroes. It is also being pointed out that many white residents of the same place are showing signs of terror because of the hold-up recently of a white stationery store on New York avenue, near Pacific street, by two colored bandits, who are still at large.
A plague spot, which has aroused the lice of the residents in the impatient vicinity and has shuttled streets, is the Pacific street turf where the Island Island Road, Unprotected women are forced to the place a wide berth when returning home after sunset, and men have been held up and beaten at the same spot. The place is also one of the most unsanitary places in Jamaica, the fumes coming from feeding a stench which is almost unbearable at times. It is used by the lowest element of the community as a rest room and unprintable signs have met the gaze of many residents being forced to use the place after dark.
A week or two ago a resident of Cummel street, on this way home from the house, friend nearby, was killed by three white bandits and robbed. Then they jumped him he knocked the last one down, but the other two soon reached the house and robbed what through his pockets. Some time ago another prowler entered a vacant house on Union Hall street and investigation is elicited that this man had been enraged and sleeping on the premises while the neighbors were asleep.
It was also found that this man had been in the habit of making a fire in an old ash burrel to keep warm, and but not in the house in question a fire might have resulted. During the summer months a gang of hoodlums congregate in the corner of Washington and clean up the house and play with the residents in that neighborhood. lootgers and "numbers" players are also sold to flourish in the neighborhood and recently one woman was sent with a "runner" for the game. Because of the fact that the trolley or company maintains a terminal and lights are bright in that particular location, Washington, Prospect and a new other streets in the section is nown, the police haven't been unusually active there, although it is no secret that this is one of the "toughest" se
Some time ago the Property Owner's association made an attempt to secure after police protection in those places which so many believe are in need of it. It is also alleged that when the innal matter was brought to the attention of the department it was suspected that the railroad company would have been able to relieve the relief which the sought. It is claimed by those in a position to know that a further attempt will be made and the matter laid before the Police commissioner, that failing, a police officer on the party in will be the result.

Edna Brinson Given Five Days
Brooklyn Pastor in Sam Case Was Discharged Last Week
Despite the fact that she had witnessed to prove that Detective Cannon struck her first and she not knowing that he was an officer struck back in Greene avenue, John Brinson, Greene avenue, was injured to five days in the city prison by Magistrate Hirsfield, in the Adams street court on January 26. In the same case, Rev T. H. Hurten, who was arrested at the same time, was discharged last week. Mrs. Brinson was granted surprise, as it was expected by most everyone that the young woman would receive a suspended sentence. Mrs. Brinson was arrested on January 12, when she and a number of persons were leaving the Court of Special where Miss Isabel Jenkins was on trial. The first hearing was on January 20. It was postponed until January 23. Mrs. Brinson was held for investigation and on January 26 she was found guilty of even saying a fine.
A number of frequenters of the court stated to our reporter that they beaten the defendant with the victim of prejudice, as it was brought out in the trial that she was allowed to have spoken of one of the white witches and the Magistrate, the being white, resented marks. Hence the five days' sentence without the alternative of paying a fine.
Students' Guild to Foster Progressive Programs
Students' Guild to Foster Progressive Programs
A group of young people have formed the Students' Literary Guild, which has for its aim the promotion of interest in knowledge of the Negro and achievement of the Negro's people, and the members have outlined a very constructive program for the year.
In January they opened in first-class condition the Merionee Memorial Library at the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. This library, which was named in honor of the late R. M. Merionee, is a memorial library. The retary of this branch, was cataloged and arranged by the members of the guild.
February they are presenting "Plumes," the Opportunity Memorial prize play by Georgia Douglas Johnson, together with a joint recital by two talented young singers, Miss Elizabeth. In March the first of ten lectures, in quarterly lectures and teas will be held. At these teas it is planned to have some of the leading speakers of the race. The retary, as it is planned to have these lectures take the form of a musical.
The guild has been instrumental in establishing at two of the radio stations, WCGU and WNYC, what is known as Negro Arts Hour Series, and have been presenting at these stations picture-recitals on modern Negro poetry. Miss Bentrice Henderson's president of the guild.
Moose Lodge in Big Dance at Arcadia Hall
From all indications the annual hall of the Cosmopolitan Lodge No. 7 of the I. B. P. of Moose will be one of the biggest affairs of the winter. Chairman of the committee states that already most of the reservations are sold to the members of the committee are selling a great number of tickets. The committee expects the spacious Arcadius Hall, which is one of the largest in Brooklyn, to be filled to capacity. The committee is sure to see that the best of order will be maintained. Many novelties have been provided for the occasion and the dance music is higher order. "Ha Ha!"

Dear Egypsy Ann:
1 have admired the common

with my troubles.
About a year ago I met a fel-
low with whom I kept company
for six months, Although 1
didn’t realize it so much then, 1
know now that 1 really loved
that man, and I'm sure he loved
me until he met another girl
I've heard that this girl — his
present company — heips to sup-
port him.
Egypsy Ann, please don't think
that I'm foolish, still love this
man, Bo what I mas, I can't for-
get him. Lve gone out with oth-
er men, but they’ can’t take his
place. When 1 walk through the
streets, [ am either cousciously
or subconscioushy looking for
him.
{ don't know where he lives
how, but I could find ‘out. Ho
told’ me once that he'd never
make the firs. move toward tak-
ing a woman back. If she wanted
him sho Would have to make him
know it and if he cared for ber
he'd take her back ia a jiffy.
Should try to get him back?
I can't forget ifm, although I've
Iried so hard.

Dear Friend:
You must grab ahold of your-
self before it's too late, It takes
x long time te mend a broken
heart, but it can be done and

Do, you know what a man
would do ‘in a case like yours?
He'd say to himself: “Lite's too
short alld there are too many
other, women for me to be crying
the blues over one.”
It's my opinion that you didn’t
‘jose much, The fact that you
haven't got him and someone
else has magnifies his person iu
your eyes.
Don’, you realize that even sf
you did get him back you'd most
likely have to act as his slave
to keep him? ff a woman's sup-
porting him now, don't you think
he's golug to let you be an ex-

If posstule, go away on a Ilt-
Ue trip. A change will do you

are pining away and losing
weight, he's haying @ good time
and has forgotten that you

yourself some other interest.

44 two iriends and 1 went
on tO Mainz. We passed
through fesse, from whose
ruler George II] hired sol-
diers to fight the American
colonists. These young men
were what the French call
sans-gene. They would stop
and interrogate all kinds of
people, As a result, all of
us had a merry time. Every-
ome, even the conductors on
the train, joined in the fun.
Nordics ure supposed to be sober
and gloomy by temperament, but
I found the Germans as ready to
laugh as any other people, The
truth is, it Is training that makes
people wooden and ceremonious,
and uot climate or so-called race.
It fs the too finical observance of
the rules of politeness. Etiquette
reminds me of the tight corsets
the women of the pust generation
used to Wear, that is, so far as
etiquette is based on formality and
not on the spirit of genulue kind-
ness. Corsets made a heaty laugh
impossible, 1 know nothing of the
German upper classes. but 1 sup-
pose they are us corseted as our
upper class colored folk,
At Mainz of Mayence, as it is
called in English, we saw the
French army of occupation, with
soldiers in blue on guard at the
barracks or walking about the
town, At Wiesbaden, across the
river, aré the English soldiers. [
understand that a friendly feeling
exists between the population aad
these soldiers. Regarding Worms,
not far away, 1 was even told that
the presence of the 10,000 French
soldiers was very welcome amonz
certain of the popniation, as the
feeling there between German
monarchists and republicans wus
high, so that the presence of the
French helped to preserve peace.
At Coblenz. further up the
river, was where the American
army used to be. 1 did not stop
there but heard many tales of the
skillful ways by which the Amer!-
can soidiers used to get around
the order of non-fraternization
with the Germans, such as a cer-
tain wey of blowing auto horns
when the military police were in
sight.
It appears that these two “ene
mies" were getting too friendly
to suit the “powers that be." and
they tried to erect barriers be-
tween them. This reminds one of
the color situation fn America.
The American soldiers, living in
the same community, could not
belp but come in contact with the
population in a hundred ways
daily, still social intercourse was
forbidden. Rules were laid down.
The mark of the beast is every-
where the same, regardless of
color. And {t is ever thus. Tho
so-called common people, be they
grouped according to race or
nationality, have nothing against
one another. They are like the
mortar and the pestle, which, a9
the African proverb says, had no
quarrel between them: it was the
coming in of the yam that caused
the strife—the yam in this case
being the average capitalsts of
thelr respective groups,
What quarrel, for instance, have
a poor white nan and a poor
Negro? None whatever. Both
are sufferers from the same un-
just system. And the best proof
that they would be friends, if they
could but get together and talk it
over, ate the laws that are made
by the “powers that be" to keep
them apart. :

Mayence, under the Romans,
was the leading city of Germany,
and was known as Moguntiacum.
It is from Mayence, or from Weis-
baden, that one takes the boat for
the ride down the Rhine. There
are two large river steamers, a
local and an express. The former
takes about two hours longer. and
costs: nearly a half less, or elght
and a half inarks, The local takes
about nine hours to reach Cologne.
Of ai) the rivers of the world,
the Rhine is the most wrapped in
romantic legend. The cliffs along
its banks are lined with hundreds
of old castles: it is the home of
ute fabled Lorelei, a witch of wou-
drous beanty. who used to lure
sallors and fishermen to destruc-
tion tn the rapids with her beauti-
ful muste; it is the inspiration
of numerous ballads, opera and
music, notably Heine and Wagner
and Stlcher; the _ Niebelungen

He beneath the Lurlenberg. one of
its cliffs; and two of the most
famous of ail national anthems
were written around it: the Ger-
man “Watch on the Rhine,” ond
the French “Murseltiaise.” It will
he recalled that when Rouget de
Litsle wrote the latter soug ho
called It “The Song of the Army
of the Rhine.”
The Rhine, Father Rhine, has cx,
ercised 2 tremendous influence on
the German people. It-is the very
focus af their patriotism—a fact
easily explained. For more than
2,000 years they have been disput-
ing its possession with the Latin,

the world, millions having lost
their ives over ft.
As to beauty, it fs so enchanting
with Ity bold clitts, vine-clad slopes
and rolling meadows that one
straightway thinks of the Lorelei
—a Lorelel that has been entic-
ing to their doom not only fisher-
men but the nations of Europe.
But fy it because of (ts beauty
that the two mations have fought

Hesides, did not this old quarrel
on the Rhine reach across nearly
4,000 miles of water and get us?
Are there uot some 4,000 of our
Broup now mingling their dust
with that of the past millions who
have also fallen in this feud?
‘The contest for the Rhine goes
back to about 70 B.C. At about
tus time Jullus Caesar was ap-
hofnted goveruior of Guul, and one
of his first battles was ‘with the
Teutons, who, crossing the Rhine,
had seized what 1s now Alsace.
Caesar drove them back, but
from ume to time they returned
uoul under Charlemagne, France
and Germany became a single em-
pire.
At Charlemagne’s death nts king-
dom was split {nto three parts,
with the Rhine forming the hound:
ury between Germany and one
of the divisions known as Lotha-
ringia. As time went on, how-
ever, the Germans spread them-
selves across the Rhfne until in
870 A. D. Lotharingla was a part
of Germany.
Germany now held {t undisput-
ed for nearly 800 years until Louls
XIV, laying clafm to it, setzed it
and destroyed most of the castles
along the banks of the Rittne. It
Was hot until 1801, however, that,
thanks to Napoleon, France again
found herself in possession of all
the territory on the left bank of
the river.
Now, crossing to the right bank,
Napoleon defeated the Germans in
buttle after. battle, marching as
far as Berlin, which le occupied
for two years. Seizing more than
halt of Germany, he called it the
Confederation of the Rbine aud an-
nexed ft to France.
tn 1815, however. for her serv-
ives in helping to defeat Napoleon,
Germany was rewarded with te
restoration of all the land she had
lost In 1801, except Alsace aud Lor-
vaine. But the German policy ts,
or was, that the Rhine should be
wholly within German territory
and when Napoleon JIf declared
war on German in 187) the latter
as victor sefzed Alsace-Lorraine.
In 1919, as {8 known, France again
found herself on the Rhine with
the return of Alsace,
France's clam Is that the Rhine

two countries—a theory older than
Christ—she Inherited it trom the
Roman Emperor, Augustus. This
would give her freer commerce
along ils banks. Thus, when the
French commander of the Allies
marched his victérious forcea to
tite Rhine and made them dip thelr
flags in its “'sacred" waters, It
‘was something more than a mere
poetic gesture. Negro soldiers,
ly the way, were first Lo do so.
This. in a nutshell, is the story
of the atruggle for the Rhine! Has
it ended? “Atter twenty centuries

Paraphrased, their children, especially during the uses from fifteen to twenty-one, which are the impressionable ages, he urged, Dr. Culien's evening text, "You are the impressionable people because you are strong." "God is interested, among other things, in a physically sound body of the individual," said Dr. Culien. Many of the students during the revival were read into full membership at the evening services. The pastor also baptized five adults. The Palge of the Missionary Training School spoke at the Epworth League. A musical program was presented. The officers of the Coal Club were presented, the pastor, Mrs. Essie White is the president.
Illness confined Prof. Rudolph
Grant to his home Sunday. Mrs.

Sure Way to End Muscular Pains
Don't be miserable with backache and pain from sore, strained muscles and ligaments brought about by hard labor, violent exercise or any other cause. Apply a Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster over the sore part and the pain, soreness and stiffness will leave you—almost immediately. Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster ends pain like magic because the medication on the plaster penetrates through the skin, goes direct to the affected parts, and begins to act at once and its marvelous effectiveness in relieving pain continues as long as the plaster remains on the body. Thousands of hard-working men and women have found this the simplest, easiest, quickest, surest way to relieve pain from sore and strained muscles. Do not suffer another minute. Get a Red Cross Kidney Plaster at any drug store. From the moment you put it on you will be astounded at its marvelous effectiveness.

How One Thin Woman Gained 11 Pounds
Read This Letter
This is from Mrs. W. E. Looney
—I must tell you that McCoy's
Tablets are the finest things I have
ever tried. I have always been thin
and never found anything to do me
so much good. I was disappointed
in the beginning.
I welged 104 when I began—
now I weigh 115½. I praise them.
I can't be without them. My limbs
are picking up fine. I am singing
their praises to everyone I see.
I didn't have any faith in them to
start.
(Signed) Mrs. W. E. Looney,
Tennessee.
Oct. 16th, 1827
McCoy takes all the risk — Read this ironclad guarantee. If after taking 4 sixty cent boxes of McCoy's Tablets or 2 One Dollar boxes any thin, underweight man or woman doesn't gain at least 5 pounds and feel completely satisfied with the marked improvement in health—your drugist is authorized to return the purchase price.
The name McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets has been shortened — just ask for McCoy's Tablets at any drug store in America.

A Fine Habit
EADING advertisements is a fine habit. Cultivate it.
You buy advertised goods and service, don't you?
Of course you do; everybody does.
Just run over in your mind the various articles you purchased
last week, or, better still, last month,
Take the food-stuffs, for instance — your breakfast fruits,
cereals and bacon are all advertised.
The shoes you are wearing or the dress or suit you have on
are probably well-known advertised makes.
The rugs and linoleum on the floor in your home, the kitchen
aluminum ware, gas ranges, hot water heaters, dish and
clothes washers, cooking utensils of all kinds — practically
everything you use is advertised.
A manufacturer cannot afford to advertise shoddy or un-
worthy merchandise. He is jealous of his good name. A
good name is a big asset to him in his trade. Advertising,
therefore. is a form of insurance. It gives you a feeling of
perfect confidence and safety when you ask, for an adver-
tised brand, because you are assured that you will get the
quality and service you expect. The manufacturer's name
is usually a guarantee,
Cultivate the habit of reading advertisements. The more you
read advertising the better will you be able to judge values.
Read the advertisements and buy
the goods and services advertised in

INDIVIDUAL-OWNED APARTMENTS SETTING a new standard of elegance for individual-owned apartments," Lincoln Mansion" presents an extraordinary opportunity for the expression of personality in the arrangement and decoration of the individual homes. Here are great rooms which provide perfect settings for furniture, and walls that will invite the hanging of tapestries and paintings. Not only the quiet dignity and spacious comfort of the apartments, but also the many conveniences available and the easy accessibility of location combine to make "Lincoln Mansion" one of the most desirable residences in all New York. The ownership of an apartment today, with all the satisfaction that accompanies it, is as simple as the ownership of sound investment stocks or bonds.
NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 1, 1928
(BETWEEN 129th and 130th STREETS) EXCLUSIVE --- LUXURIOUS --- YET REASONABLE! RESTFULLY QUIET AND PEACEFUL
Evidence of Advantageous Location!
This location is one of the highest spots in Manhattan, and commands a wide sweep of the Hudson River and the Palisade. The site is exceptional, because Convent Avenue gets the benefits of the light and spaciousness of a wide avenue without the usual traffic noise and congestion.
This section of the city, which already includes numerous high-class apartment houses, is rapidly becoming one of the choice residential districts of Manhattan. Its proximity to the shopping and theatrical districts makes it a decidedly convenient location for busy New Yorkers. In the minds of many real estate experts, 125th Street is one of the most important thoroughfares of the city, and will in time surpass many of the principal downtown business thoroughfares, due to the fact that Manhattan's commercial growth is trending northward. This accounts for the rising real estate values and assures the co-operator in the "Lincoln Mansion" an unusually profitable investment.
Completed in the near future. The Fifth Avenue Bus Line passes the door and taxis are available at all hours.
R'sing six stories above the street on the crest of the hill, "Lincoln Mansion" will be an outstanding feature of the neighborhood.
Convent Avenue lies across New York. Near it is woven the myriad threads of world commerce. Part and parcel of its fridescent life will be the "Lincoln Mansion." An empire of homes—individually owned.
One may look from it on New York's flashing beauty and share with it the prestige and fame of its location—where Convent Avenue comes into the Great White Way—125th Street.
Exceptional access to uptown, downtown and crosstown New York by subway, elevated, street car or bus.

E. C. Brown
SEVERAL years ago E. C. Brown
was at the height of his power and
prominence as a banker, a theatre
owner and a real estate man. He
was a Salient figure among the new
generation of Negro men who were
in business on a large and construc-
tive scale. Energetic, ambitious and
of a gracious personality, he had
comparatively little trouble in win-
ning the confidence of the people and
their support of his enterprises.
Last week he died, a broken failure.
~; HIS FAILURE was foreseen by
ietany even when he was at the crest
of his prosperity. Succeeding in the
real estate busizvess, he went into
banking and en into the theatrical
field, tryizg to handle three distinct
—_= separate lines of business. Even
if he had had a genius for each of
them he could not have managed all
of them at once, and he seems to have
possessed talent for only one of them
—real estate. He was further doom-
ed by his practice of pyramiding: he
would mortgage one property to buy
another, and that one to buy still an-
other, and that one to buy still an-
other, and so on—all this before the
original property was paid for. Thus,
if one brick was loosened the whole
structure would collapse, and that is
what happened.
“ OTHER SUCCESSFUL business
men may profit by Brown's fate. The
Jate Philip A. Payton pyramided suc-
cessfully, but he used his own money
and not that of thousands of stock=
holders and depositors, to say noth=
ing of his prudence in sticking to
one line of business. He rode one
horse and rode it well; Brown tried
to ride three horses going three dii-
ferent ways, and he was thrown.

Court Laxity
HENRY SCREEN, !7 years old,
after serving two'and a half years of
a sentence of from 7 to 15 years ior
shooting and killing a man in 1925,
was set free in Children’s Court ast
week by Justice Hoyt. At his trial
in 1925 Screen declared he was 20
years old when he was only 14.
AS THE puzzle artists sav, what is
wrong with this picture? A boy of
14 might pass for 20 in a crowd, but
how could he so easily deceive the
judge? Why did his lawyer not see
the discrepancy between his appear-
ance and mentality and his claimed
age? Or did the boy have a lawyer?
Why was no effort. made to get a
statement of his real age from the
records of his native city? Judge
Donnellan of General Sessions final-
ly sent for the boy’s birth certificate,
but why was this not done before the
boy was sentenced? : |i it had not
been for a chance conversation with
a fellow convict at Dannemora the
boy would have remained in prison
ior fifteen years.
SEVERAL. years ago Chief Justice
Taft said that the administration of
the criminal laws in this country was
a disgrace,“and such cases as this
add force to his statement. Henry
Screen had to appear before many
trained observers, from the police
who arrested him to the judge who
sentenced him, yet nowhere along the
line did anyone question him close=
ly enough to ascertain his real age.
Thoughtful citizens will wonder how
many other cases are so carelessly
railroaded through the courts.
Hanging Back
THE CARNEGIE ENDOWMENT for
International Peace has published an
outline of the work of the Slavery
Convention of Geneva. After sketch:
ing the history of slavery and the
attempts of the nations to abolish it,
the bullstin urges a new international
convention on slavery in which all
States, whether members of the
League of Nations or not, should take
part. A special invitation is extend:
ed to the United States,
AS YET the United States has had
nothing to say, and probably it will
continue to say nothing. For this
there may be both general and par-
ticular reasons. The general reason
may be that public opinion in this
country is against the League of Na-
tions and all its branches, which ihe
people regard as a scheme to rope
America into a European combination
and then leave her holding the bag.
The particular reason may be that
the Geneva Commission aims to “ef
fectively protect men and women
everywhere from the abusive ex-
ploitation of their labor.”
SUCH LANGUAGE is a direct at-
tack upon peonage and convict labor,
which are practiced in some parts of
this country. If America claims the
right to protest when England, Hol-
land and Belgium exploit and abuse
black labor in their colonies she
gives those nations the right to ob:
ject to the abusive treatment of Ne=
gro labor in America. It is significant
that in a movement for full justice
to exploited peoples the United States
is hanging back.

For more than two generations

‘Yet thore was no real answer to the hint of Bruce:
that if by logal Ingenuity the South could nullity two

come from Democrats and no evil

that time tho one was at its best,
while the other was at {ts worst.
‘The two have been gravitating to

And yet it still seems true that

‘The Negro citizens of the Dis-
tlet of Columbla woke up one
morning and found that an antl
mifscegenation bill had been intro-
duced by Republicans that had
passed that body almost unanf-
mously without discussion. 1 can
also recall that Congressman
Sears, of Texas, saved the appro-
priation to Howard Unwerslty
against tho assault of an aRgress-
ive group of westorn Repubilcans.
It might algo be stated in this con:
nertion that the late Senator Till-
man, of South Carolina, upon his
own’ request, introduced a bill

‘These instances are lke the
