WHITE MULTI-MILLIONAIRE WINS "SEPARATION" SUIT REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections FIRST WIFE CLAIMS THAT DR. EBIMBER IS BIGAMIST Colorful Ceremony Performed at Liberty Hall Alleged Wife No.1 Says She Knew Him as Paul M. Charles and Prince Akwa By EDGAR RONZEAU Dr. Milton Tube Ebimber marriage two months ago at L. T. De Mena, international of Improvement Association, form Harlem dinner tables, is now seeking to serve a summons on for absolute divorce in behalf 120 West 128th street, who cl Dr. Milton Tube Ebimber of 30 Edgecombe avenue, whose marriage two months ago at Liberty Hall to Madame Myrtle J. T. De Mena, international organizer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, formed a topic of conversation for Harlem dinner tables, is now being sought by process servers seeking to serve a summons on him in connection with an action for absolute divorce in behalf of Mrs. Valentina A. Charles, 250 West 128th street, who claims that he is her husband. Mrs. Charles, whose native home in the State of San Pedro de Macoris, Santo Domingo, asserts through her attorney, Lennile L. George, 200 West 135th street, that she married Dr. Ebimber in November, 1924, when he came to her home town. "At that time," she says, "I knew him as Paul M. Charles. About a month after we were married I found out that he was receiving letters addressed to him as Prince Paul M. Akwa. These letters were signed by Prince J. E. Dino Akwa of Vaounde, German East Africa. It was then that I questioned him, and he confessed to me that he was a prince and stated that the letters were from his uncle." She further states that she had additional proof of his identity when he wrote to the British Admiralty and received the King Edward medal in recognition of his war-time service in the Merchant Marine. Mrs. Charles also alloges that Dr. Ebimber used to practice medicine in Santa Domingo without a license and that he was arrested and later paroled through influence exerted in his behalf by officials of the British government. Subsequently, she asserts, he boarded a ship secretly and sailed for America. "I did the best I could," she stated further, "until I find the opportunity to come to New York about two years ago. I never saw my husband, however, until two weeks ago when I suddenly came face to face with him while walking on Lenox avenue. I succeeded in tracing him to the Elsecombe address, and found out through my lawyer that he was married again and living under the name of Ebimber." When interviewed at her home Friday evening, Madane De Mena told philosophically: "I am not going (Continued on Page 4.)

THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News Marriage Hits Snag THE WEDDING OF JOHN AND MARY MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN KILLS DRUNKEN FATHER Wife Says She-Slew in Self-Defense — Asserts He Had Often Beat Her — Held for Homicide Allen Forbe, 36.7 East 117th street, died early Monday morning in Harlem Hospital from a gunshot wound in the abdomen inflicted, the police say, by his wife, Julia, 34 years old, who is under arrest. The shooting took place in the Forde home early Sunday morning. The couple had been married 14 years and have two children. Forde, according to the story learned by the police, came home under the influence of liquor and began to quarrel with his wife. She resented his actions and words were followed by blows. Mrs. Forde secured a revolver and fired two shots at her husband, the police say. One of the bullets struck him in the abdomen and he fell to the floor unconscious. The shots aroused the neighbors, one of whom notified the police. Detectives Prantner and McAllister of the East 126th street station hurried to the Forde apartment, an ambulance was summoned from Harlem Hospital and Forde was hurried there. He was immediately operated upon but he failed to regain consciousness and early Monday morning he died. Interracial Pair Guilty of Rape Four Other Whites Involved in Attack on Woman Unapprehended Seemingly weary with the world and filled with disgust, Mrs. Anna White, 43, 419 Cherry street, Brooklyn, took the witness stand Monday morning in Part II of General Sessions and described to the court how Irving Trotman, 12 Lewis avenue, Brooklyn, led five white men to her room; how they muffled her cries; Mrs. Forde was found in her home comforting her two children. She readily admitted shooting her husband, the police say, and gave them the revolver with which the shooting was done. Mrs. Forde told the police she shot her husband in self-defense. He had often threatened her life, and when he beat her Sunday morning she used the revolver to defend herself. Mrs. Forde was arrested on a charge of felonious assault and arraigned Sunday before Magistrate Well in Harlem Court, who held her without bail for a further hearing. In view of her husband's death, the charge against Mrs. Forde will automatically be changed to homicide and she will be arraigned in the Homelife Court. NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1928 Court Interracial Pair Guilty of Rape Four Other Whites Involved in Attack on Woman Unapprehended Seemingly weary with the world and filled with disgust, Mrs. Anna White, 43, 419 Cherry street, Brooklyn, took the witness stand Monday morning in Part II of General Sessions and described to the court how Irving Trotman, 12 Lewis avenue, Brooklyn, led five white men to her room; how they muffled her cries; how they tore off her clothing; and finally, how they raped her. "Teach in turn," she stated. To strengthen her accusation, she displayed a part of the torn underwear and a dress that she wore on the occasion of the alleged crime. The atrocity, it was revealed, was committed on New Year's Day. Trotman and one of the white men, John Hussey, 382 Cherry street, Brooklyn, were apprehended a week later, but the other four men still remain at large. After Mrs. White concluded her testimony, Judge Donnellan charged the jury. A verdict of guilty was rendered after they had been closed ten minutes. Path men will be seized during the week of March 28. 1000 Proof Sterling Silver THE MUSICIAN There is no such thing.

Man Shot Comes Out of Hiding Held for Participation in Attempted Robbery After hiding all night in a Harlem collar with a bullet wound in his leg, Harry McDaniels, 23. 147 West 145th street, was taken to Jersey City in a taxicab by two friends last Wednesday and trented at the City Hospital. He explained to the doctors that he had been shot in a fight. The hospital authorities were not so credulous and notified the Jersey City police, who in turn notified the Manhattan police.

At the opening of the trial Mrs. Brown, under cross-examination of her attorney, Richard E. Carey, 2376 Seventh avenue, told the court of her life with Curtis, whom, she said, took her last name by calling himself Harry Brown. All through the testimony Curtis was referred to as Harry and as Mr. Brown.

Judge Townley stated further that the letters which Curtis addressed to the plaintiff as "Mrs. Harry Brown" were negative and based upon an assumption; that the plaintiff had signed sworn statements to the effect that no marriage relationship existed between herself and Curtis; and that his gift to her of the Freeport mansion and the assumption of the name "Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown" was nothing more than an act to disguise "a meretricious relationship that was maintained and continued." Lawyers Wrangle Mrs. Brown, who was more often referred to as Letty and Tish, contended that Curtis lived with her for seventeen years and assumed the name of Harry Brown and was her common-law husband; and seeks upon these grounds to obtain $20,000 counsel fees and $250 a week all-money in her separation suit. and branded his action as very unprofessional. Attorney Carey the (Continued on Page 2.) Letty's Attorney At the conclusion of the court proceedings on Friday Judge Townley heard the arguments of both attorneys. Counsel for Mrs. Brown which also included James P. Hill and Thomas B. Dyett as associate attorneys, contended that they had proven by the plaintiff's statements and by the testimony of their witnesses and by the evidence which they had introduced that Curtis was the common-law husband of Mrs. Brown. Attorney Steuer, while not denying Curtis' lavish attentions to and intimacy with Mrs. Brown, said that she had no case by virtue of the fact that she herself admitted Curtis' extreme kindness and at the same time confessed to living with and keeping another man besides having other lovers. Counsel for the plaintiff then said that they had not yet finished presenting their evidence and desired to call about twenty more witnesses. Their request was granted and court was adjourned until Monday. On several occasions when Attorney Steuer was firing pitiless questions at Mrs. Brown or her witnesses, Attorney Carey objected to "the bulldozing manner in which this attorney is trying to intimidate the witness." Attorney Carey once referred to the talk of the opposing counsel as "barking." "How do you know?" asked Attorney Steuer, "you must have lived in a kennel." When Attorney Carey made the remark about "harking" the second time Attorney Steuer turned hotly and said: "If this court can't restrain you, I'll make short shift of you if you once more say that!"

LETITIA ERNESTINE BROWN LOSES Harlem Woman Fails to Establish Common-Law Marriage in Suit (Continued from Page 1.) crossed one night in November, 1910, at Broadway and Fifty-fourth street where Curtis snatched her from the path of a speeding auto. They very evidently found something responsive in each other, for they "went to Marshall's for ten and then went home together." A few weeks later, after several meetings and going out among "colored friends," the couple visited a Mrs. Kelly in West Sixteenth street and were intimate there for the first time, Mrs. Brown testified. Letty told of one passionate night in the dawn of their romance when she and Harry sat on soap boxes in an unfurnished room and he solemnly took her hand in his and said: "Letty, dear, I am going to change your name. You are going to be my wife and I will be your husband." The couple rented a room at the home of Mrs. Lillian Colby, 46, who lived in West Fifty-second street. Mrs. Colby testified that they lived at her home for several months, but that she put them out because, "although I saw nothing wrong from him, I did not like the mixture." Mrs. Colby said further that she feared "the mixture" would exert a bad influence upon a young sister she was raising. After Letty was put out of Mrs. Colby's home Harry is quoted as saying that he would not see her in the street. He rented and furnished an apartment for Letty at 327 West Fifty-fourth street and is said to have lived there with her for several years. He then bought her a mansion at Freeport and, Mrs. Brown maintains, lived there with her, "but not constantly," she added. Everything a woman's heart could wish for was showered on Letty by Harry, including a profusion of beautiful flowers, a motor car, candy, diamond and platinum rings and other costly jewelry, expensive wraps, servants and high-priced perfumes. A trust fund of over a quarter of a million dollars was established for Letty, which brought her a monthly income of from $2,000 to $3,000. In addition to this, she was given large cash sums just for the asking and $600 a month pimn money. Presenting her with a silver fruit dish one day, Harry said to her: "Letty, darling, this is very sacred; it was a wedding present to my mother from one of her dearest friends and I am giving it to you." In addition to this he gave her a chest of the family silver, which was placed in evidence by Attorney Carey on Thursday. Letty wrote to Harry at this time: "You just left me a little while ago, I was sorry to see you go abroad. You gave me so much yesterday it was just like heaven and, though you don't know it, God will bless you a hundredfold. I asked Him and he always answers my prayers." Although Curtis is said to have always held the Negro with everything but affection, he met Letty's friends cordially and often, but preferred that she not associate with her race, it is said. She told the court that he once became angry because she spoke to a Negro bellboy at the Hotel Devon, where she had gone to look for him. When his relatives disapproved of the relationship he replied, "It suits me." Mrs. Brown testified. She stated further that they went about everywhere and were well known to the shopkeepers of Freeport as Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown. Harry's relatives visited them at the Freeport home, she stated. In the same letter Letty wrote to Harry as follows: "You said 'other men have wives and families, but I am not so happy.' That's true, but are they all happy? A few of them are, but most of them are not. At every angle someone is getting a divorce—each slick and tired of the other. Lots of them are not mates. But with our grandparents it was so different from today. Ah, alack, alast—when the husband's back is turned the wife is with another man. Why? She prefers someone else. So much unfaithfulness. But how different it is with us. "I love you dearer than anything on God's earth—better than any living creature. My body, my thoughts, my soul are all yours—and still you are free, free as the day you were born. You can marry whenever you choose, and if you ever feel you would like to marry, by all mean, hon, do so." Attorney Steiner said; "Do you remember that?" "I didn't know I was capable of writing such good stuff." Letty said, smiling. In two other letters of which she admitted authorship, she wrote: "You have found the burden very heavy hiding—hiding—hiding. If you feel that the price is too big I understand and you will be as free as ever to marry someone else and your peace of mind will be complete. I will not think hard or mean of you, but will hold the sweetest, tenderest thoughts deep down in my soul for you. If you can be happy without me, with a smile I will pass out of your life, dearest, and take the bitter with the sweet." After this was read to her Letty said; "I didn't know a woman could be so kind." Attorney Slouer then read to her an alludivit upon which she identified her own signature, although she stoutly professed⁴ ignorance of its contents, which set forth that Curtis was in no wise related to her as a husband, either by common law or legal ceremony, that they were only friends, and that Curtis was absolved of all and every responsibility to her whatsoever. Lotty had never read those papers, it is said. Attorney Curley interposed that his client had signed that and similar adavivits favorable to Curtis in the TWO apologized and the apology was accepted. Atty. Carey and his associate, Atty. James P. Iffl, conducted the prosecution p. very creditably. Atty. Thomas B. Dyett completed the trial as an astute advisor. Attorney Iffl's management of the very difficult closing, which included a spirited cross examination of Curtis and Attorney Myers, will be well remembered. Attorney Steuer, always supremely confident and at ease, brought a certain graciousness to his merciless assault upon the opposing testimony. Only in one instance did he and his opponent clash in genuine anger, but at all other times there existed between them a spirit of cordiality. Steuer Sears Letty In opening his cross examination of Mrs. Brown, Attorney Steuer drew from her the admission that she was sometimes honest and sometimes not; that being husband and wife meant having each other exclusive of others; that she was "not too much, but just a little bit" full of love and sweetness. But before he was through with her he made the very air crackle with his hold and fiery questions which more than once wrung from Lotty the confession that she had deliberately lied, and that she had been ungratefully untrue to her "husband" Harry. The courtroom was crowded each day and scores more tried to get in. day and scores more tried to get in. Curtis, the 69-year-old multi-millionaire who seemingly preferred a Negro mate to one of his own race, sat throughout the trial wholly unabashed, his pink bald head fringed with white hair and his ruddy face. He wore glasses. He always looked frankly at Letty and often smiled when she related incidents from happier days. Time and again he would lean over and whisper in the ear of C. Augustus Myers, attorney of record and associated with Attorney Steiner. Every shade of emotion was always instantly betrayed in Letty's face as she reacted to the cross examination. She was deceptive, candid, nervous, calm, coy, cool, hold, shy, amused, petulant, chagrined, astonished, grieving, bashful, jolly, haughty, seldom clever and never wistful. She seemed to run almost the entire gamut of emotions in swift succession. This unlovely woman of dark eyes, assimilated culture, but who must have had, neverthless, a little something of "It." was dressed ed in a dark blue serge suit, white waist, black urban hat, French blege stockings and tan slippers. Her walk reminds one very much of a greenhorn dress model. "Letty's "Paridise Lost" Sheaves of letters between Letty and Harry and between Letty and two other men were introduced in evidence. When Attorney Carey gave his client several old love notes from Harry to identify, Letty cried softly while the lawyers bushed themselves for a few moments. Her glided dream had fuded but at least nothing could deny her its sweet memory as she read this missive from her Harry: "Monday 8:30 p. m. The University Club The University Club. Fifth avenue and 54th street "My darling Letty: "Just a little note to let you know, dear, that I am still in the land of the living. I have two sweet, nice letters from you and you are constantly in my thoughts. I love you, my darling girl, with an unchangeable love. It does seem hard that things are so that I cannot see you as I want to do. . . Write me oft- en now, Letty darling, as I am not able to see you, but I do expect to go down to our home and see you there as soon as the old toks are gone. . . Good night, darling girl. "Lovingly, "HARRY." Mrs. Brown testified that Harry was always hugging and kissing her that he was always "divine and just as sweet and tender as he could." Even after Attorney Steuer had taken on Letty through a not at all please ant revival of memory of her other leves, she said, "Yes, I still think Harry was divine." A. S. Johnson, concrete contractor; Harry Dudala and his wife, Eda; Harry A. Payne, carpenter, and Charles F. Fritz, plumber, all white, testified that they had done work on the Freeport, L. I. mansion which Curtis built especially for his Letty and that they knew Curtis only as Harry Brown and understood that Letty was his wife. John H. Box, white, automobile salesman, testified to the latter fact also, saying that he heard Curtis address Mrs. Brown as "my wife" and "darling" and that Curtis paid for the car she selected. Marilie Smith, who was employed by the Brown at their West Fifty-fourth street home, said that she often saw Curtis, whom she only knew as Mr. Brown, caress and kiss Lettie. Soapbox Romance Letty testified that she was born in Jan. 1893, in Tallahassee, Fla., where she was known as L. E. Mauley, and at the age of fourteen married one James Brown who died not long afterward. Six months after his death a child was born to her but lived only four hours, she said. She admitted that she had no record of her marriage and no burial certificate for husband and baby. She then came to New York as a widow, but denies having been supported by a man named Leon Travis as Attorney Steuer intimated.

Berengaria, April 4, 1926, to whom Mrs. Letitia Ernestine Brown wrote endearing letters. office of Attorney Myers in an attitude of fullest confidence in giving her memory was refreshed next day by one of her letters to "Gar." Her friend Had Five Lovers Attorney Steuer tried to show that Letty had had five lovers in her lifetime, viz., James Brown, her deceased husband; Leon Travis, with whom she is said to have lived when she first came here; James Edwards, a Philadelphia married man; "C. C. I," a mysterious lover, and, first and foremost, Garland A. Patton, a married man of Chicago, whose wife sued Letty for alienation of affections. Letty said that "C. C. I." never interested her, that she never lived with Travis, and that the latter, together with Edwards and Patton, were just friends. "Just friends? Then do you recall this letter from Jim (Edwards)?" Interrogated Attorney Steuer. "Nov. 7, 1921. "My Dear Tish: "... May I really call you dear? ... I think you are very, very unkind; can't you unbend enough to let me see you, me, all to myself? I think six years is long enough to wipe out your affair with that other party. They (Edwards' wife) don't want me and I don't want them, but you are so different. You I do want and have always wanted you and will not be satisfied until I hear from your own sweet lips the dear murmurs, the sweet, inarticulate nothings that shall set my pulse agoing and—" "Poor Jim!" sighed Attorney Steuer, "what did he mean by the dash?" A flashing smile was her only answer as Judge Townley rapped down the laughter in the court room. "And when did you take Garland Patton to Paris with you and when did you send him to Los Angeles?" "I never took him anywhere," said Letty, but a few moments afterward admitted that she and Patton went to Paris and returned on the same steamer together; that they both lived on the Rue de Honore; that she gave him money "because he was a poor fellow in need"; bought him a Packard motor car and paid all its expenses, including a chauffeur, etc., and financed his second trip to Paris. She admitted writing a letter to "Gar" telling him to come home from Los Angeles. "You are ungrateful," said her missive. "No matter how much I do for you it is not enough. I have not been sending you money in nickels and dimes, but in bunches." In addition, Letty confessed habitual intimacy with "Gar." Under questioning she said the bunches were small. One of her letters to "Gar" read: "I love you, dear, with all my heart and soul, Honey. I love you so good I cry myself to sleep every night. Tish would die if her didn't have you no more." She was taken: "Is that a joke like you said the rest wore?" "That's just plain ruffy," she said. "Vos, to sweeten the money that Harry gave you that you went to 'Gar.'" said Attorney Stouer. On Thursday Lettie donated ownership of the Berengaria passenger hat on which Patton's name appeared, but NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1928 Hated "Divine Harry," She Wrote Very reluctantly Mrs. Brown admitted writing the following lines to her "Taffy Daddy," who, she said, had invoked her wrath, but did not state the occasion: "You say that I am a mill... stone around your neck. Then don't come around. You're a pest. You raise hell all the time in loud, loud tones. . . . I hate you and deplease your guts — I hope you drop dead! I haven't slept a wink since you turned such a Judas, I didn't believe it was in no human being on earth to talk about a dirty dog like you talked about me. . . . You are so damn stingy and cheap with me. I never want to see you again as long as I live. I will pay you every cent I love you. Then forever goodbye to leave you. (Signed) "The Thief." Confronting Letty very earnestly, Attorney Steuer said: "Is that the way you talked to good, sweet, kind, much-money Harry?" Letty seemed very hurt and chagrined and replied with gravity, "I didn't mean a word of it. Harry had made me very angry. I still say that Harry was divine and very good, but he had his bad moments when he got ready." "How about when you wrote to 'Gar'? Is there any difference between saying I love you and I hate you?" she was asked. "They both mean nothing." Letty answered, plainly confused. "Gar's" Wife Letty's Nemesis The flow of gold suddenly stopped and the dark Clinderella's fateful hour was struck when Patton's wife brought suit against her for allonation of her husband's affections. Letty was asked how the suit terminated and she said she tried to keep the matter from Harry, but that the information reached him through Mr. Myers, Curtis' attorney. She was told, she testified, that the suit had been settled for $1,500 cash and that she left the entire matter in the hands of Attorney Myers. Q.—What did Harry say when he found it out? A.—Oh, he was very nice about it. Q.—Did he support you after that? A.—Yes, he supported me right along; he loved me, I told him I was very sorry. Ku Klux Phantoms Mrs. Brown declared that while in Freeport she was threatened by the Ku Klux Klan because she was living with a white man. A letter was introduced in evidence to show that she had written to Harry for another thousand-or-two dollars "to pay the blackmasters." "Wasn't 'tar' the originator of that story? And didn't he toll you to go back to your monkey man?" asked Attorney Stueter. The first question she hotly denied, but responded to the second question with, "I didn't mean Harry." Letty testified that she paid $2,500, $500 of which she said she borrowed from her butcher, to pay a strange white man who said he represent the Ku Klux Klan. She did this for peace of mind, she said, "for money is no good to happiness." This incident is said to have occurred just prior to her sailing for Paris with Patton. By this time the millionaire clubman had about decided that enough was too much. He revoked the trust fund in November, 1926, moved Letty out of the Freport home which was sold, and set her up in an apartment in Harlem and arranged with his attorney to pay her $25 a week and all expenses. On March 8, 1927, she signed "that and davit" in which she so unwittingly renounced Curtis and totally absolved him from all responsibility to her. In June, 1927, she awoke to the real meaning of the situation as Harry, she said, only kept up his payments for a month. When she made application the same month for $20,000 counsel fees and $250 a week alimony before Judge Black in the Supreme Court her application was denied, and, through her attorney, Mrs. Brown sent her application to the Appellate Division for an appeal. The mystery of how Curtis obtained so much evidence with which to fight Mrs. Brown's separation suit was disclosed Friday when Letty, under cross-examination by her attorney, told the court that she had left all those incriminating letters in the Freeport home and that Attorney Myers had the key. It was in this manner that Harry obtained the oil paintings that he had given Letty together with other property which the deemed it best to recover. Mrs. Brown also admitted that she wrote "widow" and "single" on her motorcar insurance application and income tax report, respectively, but did not satisfactorily explain why. Although the Freeport home was her own by a clear title she did not, she testified, receive a nickel from the proceeds of its sale, which was negotiated chiefly by Harry, who told her that the house was in the hands of "sharks." Letty had mortgaged the home twice through the Crown Finance Corporation, she admitted, and Attorney Steuer tried to Yet, stinging skin is careful Thoroughly shine on hands and arm over and again by the benefits.

Friday's court proceedings proved so strenuous for Letty that she became ill during the afternoon session, but she was able to remain until the end. On Monday morning Curtis took the stand and plainly showed that he did not relish being cross-examined by Attorney Ihl, who kept him hot most of the time. He presented a perfect picture of outraged confidence and dignity, and his attitude toward the Florida woman he had wooed as his alleged spouse for more than a decade was plainly vindictive. When Attorney Ihl referred to her as "Letty," Curtis shot back, "Mrs. Brown," as a correction. An element of humor was added to the scene when the court photographer drawned a burlesque repetition of an extract from one of Harry's letters to Letty, which read, "I love you, my darling girl." Q.-Did you love her? A.-I never loved her! (Intensely). And I never lived with her! (Hotly.) Q.-Why did you take the name of Harry Brown? A.-Because she asked me to; I did it just to oblige her. Attorney Irl caused Curtis great confusion and anger in going over Curtis' definitions of "acquaintance." "pretended friend" and "tender affection." Curtis said that his affection for Mrs. Brown was the same that he held for a cat or dog. He admitted, however, that one of the first things he gave her one cold night in November, 1911, when the two sat on soap boxes and made love in the then empty and unheated apartment he rented for Letty at 557 (not 327) West Fifty-fourth street, was one of his grandmother's quilts that was 25 years old. When asked when he began to think well of Letty, he said that it was two years after he had bought her the Freeport home. In a letter written on the University Club stationery and dated December 21, 1919, Curtis admitted that he wrote: "My darling Letty, (Continued on Page 4.)

ABRAMS CITES ATTORNEY IN CONTEMPT Controversy Caused by Decision Rendered Against His Client Controversy Caused by Decision Rendered Against His Client Harlem Lawyer Must Show Cause Why He Should Not Be Punished Judge's Stand Often Criticized by Other Attorneys A heated controversy which he had with Judge Lewis A. Abrams on Wednesday evening in Part I of the Seventh District Municipal Court over the merits of a decision which the court had handed down against him, caused Attorney Charles A. Lynch, 2138 Seventh avenue, to be cited in contempt of court. The contempt proceedings came up for trial the following afternoon, at which time Mr. Lynch appeared in court with his counsellor, Attorney Joseph C. Morris, also of 2138 Seventh avenue, who upon gaining recognition from the court, asked Judge Abrams to cite, the contempt in which his client was to be tried. "Is it a criminal or civil contempt, your honor?" he asked. "It is a criminal contempt," replied Judge Abrams. Whereupon Mr. Morris moved to have the court dismiss its complaint on the grounds that the proceedings were improperly brought, and that the statutes relating to criminal contempt had no bearing whatsoever upon the case question. The court justified that the proceedings were justified and denied the motion. authority to bawl me out and tell me to "shit up" and "come on." These statements are corrected on the majority of the lawyers who practice in this court here time and again. I would like it to be in the record when the case comes to the higher court, as it will come, so that it may be known that in this court the practice of the presiding judge is the case to use abuse and vilify the attorneys, that they have no other course but to state their Attorney Morris then asked for a postponement of the case as so as to afford his client more time in which to arrange an adequate defense. In granting this request, Judge Abrams said: "The offense is so serious that the defendant is forced to every opportunity. At the request of the defendant, the further proceedings in this matter are continued over until Wednesday, March 21, at 4 o'clock. The alleged contempt for which Mr. Lynch is to be tried to-day occurred during the trial of Theodore Johnson vs. The Light of New York Court of Appeals. The benefits. Attorney Demerald Williams, 200 West 155th street, was representing the plaintiff and Attorney Lynch was defending the action. Mr. Williams had been previously objecting to the manner in which the defense was presenting its evidence, and finally wound up by asking the plaintiff a decision in favor of the plaintiff." This motion was granted by Judge Abrams, who, accordingly, instructed the jury to bring in a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $30. It was at this juncture that Mr. Lynch began his objections which later caused him to be held in contempt. His verbatim debate with the judge from this point on is as follows: MR. LYNCH-Exception for the record. First, upon the ground that the court has no jurisdiction of this cause of action; that, irrespective of any admission, declaration or statement, competent proof must be submitted to the court that the party is a proper party that has been served. And next, I want to move upon the ground that the cause of action is held against an impersonal defendant. JUDGE—Are you moving for something? MR. LYNCH—Yes. JUDGE—What are you moving for? MR. LYNCH—I want, before your Honor rules, to get in the record the grounds of my taking exception to your ruling. JUDGE—Before I rule? Go ahead. MR. LYNCH—You see, you stop me off and don't permit me to bring out the statement. JUDGE—Go ahead. Bring out any statements you want. MR. LYNCH—I don't think that the judge should interrupt. JUDGE—Go on and state what you want on the record. Don't give me an argument. Go on and state your further grounds. MR. LYNCH—Now, you know, our Mr. Lynch. JUDGE—Mr. Lynch, state the further grounds, please. MR. LYNCH—I will state my fur her grounds, but I also don't intend to be handled in the way you are handling me. JUDGE—State your grounds, Mr. Lynch. MR. LYNCH—Judge— JUDGE—I direct you to state thatever you desire to state in the record by way of objection or motion that now. MR. LYNCH—I will follow our Honor's instruction, and also, our Honor, I want you to understand that I am supposed to stent my client properly and I don't stent to stand at any time for any statement made by the judge which is a reflection in accordance with he way in which the case should be properly handled. You are telling me to on me. I am no mule. Mr. LYNCH—I you finished what you just want to say? MR. LYNCH—I am trying to re- ember what I want to say. HUDGE—There is something I want you to remember now. I want you to remember this: That the court gives you instruction to appear before this court tomorrow at 4 o'clock and there show cause why you should not be punished for contempt. MR. LYNCH—Punish me right now. Your Honor, don't bother until your mourning right now. HUDGE—I order you to appear tomorrow to show cause why you should not be punished for contempt. Are there any further motions you desire to make in this case? MR. LYNCH—I repent— HUDGE—Four o'clock tomorrow, Mr. Lynch. MR. LYNCH—You may punish me for contempt now. I have a right to be held and represent my clients to the court my arrest and when I am sitting next to the judge for the purpose of the record I don't see that the judge has the authority to bawl me out and tell me to "shut up" and "come on." These statements are certainly a reflection on the majority of the lawyers who practice in this court here time and again. I would like it to be in the record when the case comes to the higher court, as it will come, so that it may be known that in this court the attorney is to use abuse and vilify the attorneys; that they have no other course but to state their minds in open court, for no attorney who is really trying to do his best in protection of his client's interest, and who feels, also, that he is an officer of the court and, as such, must command the respect of those who hear him do his work, will stand and allow any person to abuse him during practice, for one, will go to jail or for another place rather than permit myself to be subjected to such, and his Honor knows it. At this point Judge Abrams walked out of the courtroom, with the final reminder that the case would be tried the following day. Attorney Lynch stated emphatically, when interviewed Saturday evening, that, in case he is convicted this afterward, he would be the case to the highest possible court. Attorney Lynch is not the first lawyer to denounce the conduct of Judge Abrams because of his method of dealing with them. His citation for contempt of court by Atty. Lynch recalls the heated verbal last October between this trial and the defense. Myles A. Fale, 200 West 135th Street, On that occasion Mr. Paige, who was representing the plaintiff's side in a damage suit, was reported to have taken exception to several prejudicial statements made by Judge Abrams in his charge to the jury, and to have openly accused the judge of being prejudiced and unfairly criticized by his unfair remarks regarding Mr. Paige's client. "I don't recognize you, and anyway I haven't any use for you," Judge Abrams was reported to have said on that occasion. "Know it, and you haven't any use for it," Abrams was the retort of Attorney Pale. "Woll, I will tell you frankly that I haven't," the judge was reported to have replied. Judge Abrams then threatened to take the case out of the hands of the jury and send it to the district attorney. Attorney Pale is said to have further suggested that the entire matter be passed on by a committee of the Bar Association. Treatment of G. O. P. Delegates Discussed KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 15—A query as to whether Negro delegates and visitors to the Republican National Convention would be denied the privilege of visiting white delegates in their hotel rooms was presented Conrad Mann, white, chairman of the *Wool Convention Committee*, Monday. Mr. Mann explained the problem was for the hotels to handle. Local usage would govern, he guessed. The Negro delegates will be quartered by a local committee of Negroes assigned to the duty. "It is my personal view," Mr. Mann says, "the Negro situation offers nothing different in convention times than in the usual case. I suppose Negroes desiring to visit white delegates in their rooms on convention will be accorded the hotel's facilities, we solicited, the convention was solicited, we made it plain that Negro delegates would find ample housing and restaurant facilities." Lewis Henry Sues Wife for Divorce Lewis Anthony Henry, 236 West 153th street, proprietor-director of the popular Low Henry's Band, has instituted a divorce action through his attorney, Mortimer J. Wohl, 191 Joralamon street, Brooklyn, against his wife, Katharina (Katey Crippen) and his former actress, who appeared at the宏致剧院 last week in "Make It Happen." The action came as the result of a raid upon Mrs. Henry's apartment at 582 St. Nicholas avenue, early Monday morning by Mr. Henry, assisted by Private Detective William Garven, 1881 East Twenty-first street, Brooklyn, and two witnesses who said they found the wife in a room with M. D. Roberts, a barber at the Lafayette Barber Shop, 1313 street and Seventh avenue, and in February 1924, and have no children. Henry charges that his wife deserts him last October and went to live at the St. Nicholas avenue address. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1928 Lamb's Famous Ensemble Chorus THE MUSIC TEAM Wilson Lamb's Singers to Be Heard Over Radio Station WABC March 29 Famous Orange Teacher, in Interview With Amsterdam News Reporter, Tells of His Early The life of John Wilson Lamb, 40, vocal impressario of Orange, N. J., credited with presenting at Aeolian Hall the first Negro-trained vocal artist of his race and of organizing the first 100-voice Negro choir, is an interesting epic among the biographies of self-made men. As one of eight children of poor parents Mr. Lamb began his struggles very early in life and by the power of a dynamic will and an invincible determination finally arose to a commanding position in the musical world. "The Most Proficient Negro Choir in America," is the name Mr. Lamb has given the singing body he organizes in 1933, and whose every member he trained personally. This aggregation has sung for the Fanny Crosby Home at Bridgeport, Conn., and the Women's Club of the Westchester County Home at Mt. Vernon here. To Broadcast Ensemble's Solo Mr. Lamb's singers will be heard in a fine musical program Thursday night.

At the age of nine I was earning what was then a child of a man's wages of one dollar a day, driving a car on making three loads twice a day to the ships in the harbor. Mr. Lamb said he found a strong physique a tremendous asset when he began vocal study. He began work in Mr. Wittler's factory as a stitcher at $2.50 a week and before the first week ended his salary was raised to $5. In a very short time he was promoted to the position of shoe cutter, becoming what was then the only Negro shoe They will stil "Magnificat in F" and "Nunc Dimittis," by S.

Mr. Lamb's male quartet composed of Oscar Brooks, first tenor; Leon Threadgill, second tenor; Whitfield Groves, first bass; and Mathew Jackson, second bass, will swing "Swing Along" by Will Marlon Cook, and "Vacant Chair" by Johnson. Wilson Lamb, by which name he is more familiarly known to the musician, will produce the ensemble, and Cora Wynn Alexander will be the accompanist. Mr. Lamb, the son of Laura and Jordan Lamb, was born Nov. 24, 1879, at Norfolk, Va. He received his early education in the public schools and attended Norfolk-Michigan College, then a grammar school but which now is a high school. His older sister died in 1902, aged old and his half-brother, Marshall Lamb, sent for him to come to Boston. This was in 1890. At the same time his father, who was a class leader in the C. M. E. Methodist Church in Norfolk, broke up housekeeping and came to age 49. N. Y., where he died at the age of 94, when Lamb was a lad of eighteen. John's mother was his father's second wife and Marshall was a son of the older Lamb by the first marriage. "My half-brother was really old enough to be my father," said Lamb. "I was in the express business and I obliged to work for him without pay. I never could get along with him. "One cold, snow day my halfbrother sent me out to look for another job. I was standing on the corner of Marmac Square and a stranger came by and asked me if I wanted to go to work and I said Yes. "Time! he exclaimed, 'Till you put to work in my shoe factory right away.' And he did. He liked me so well that he adopted me in less than a month." "This man was William H. Wittler, a West Indian. At first Mrs. Wittler objected to his employment because of his extremo youth—John was not yet 12 years old, but he was a big, strong, overgrown chap and Wittler overruled his wife's objections. "My physical devoiment," said Mrs. Wittler, "from the time I was six years old until I was eight.

CASH or LIBERAL CREDIT berries and pulling radishes. At the age of nine I was earning what was then considered a man's wages of one dollar a day, driving a coal wage on making three loads twice a day to the ships in the harbor." Mr Lamb said he found a strong physique a tremendous asset when he began vocal study. He began work in Mr. Wittler's factory as a stitcher at $3.25 a week and before the first week ended his salary was raised to $5. In a very short time he was promoted to the position of shoe cutter, becoming what was then the only Navy cutter in the State of Massachusetts. Young Lamb grew steadily in the confidence of Mr. Wittler and attended to all his banking and collecting. After adopting John, Mr. Wittler sent him to High School and also gave him two years at Andover Academy. Mrs. Wittler died in 1902, by which time young Lamb had become the manager of the business at the age of 23. Mr. Wittler sold his business, broke up housekeeping and went to live on his large farm in New Hampshire. Lamb then bought a piece of property and opened a dye house, and one of his best customers was the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Four years later his half-brother dled. "It was a strange coincidence," said Mr. Lamb. "that Marshall and Mr. Wittier had both served in a regiment from Michigan, where they were living at the time, during the Civil War. Up to this time I had managed rather nicely the duties of a father and sister from Norfolk." The sister is now Mrs. Lillian Wilson, contratoe, of Lawrence, Mass., and the brother is Lewis Lamb, bass singer, of Providence, R. I. Mr. Lamb said he felt the musical urge stirring in his soul at the age of six when he used to follow his half-brother "afar off" whenever he filled an engagement with the then famous "Twilight Quartette." When Mr. Wittier left for New Hampshire Mr. Lamb entered the New York University laboratory, he remained three years studying the piano and sight reading under Professors Morrison and Cole, respectively. "One night I was singing in a Catholic church," said Mr. Lamb. "and an old man approached me with many compliments and said that I should have my voice trained. The very next day I found a teacher." This was after Mr. Lamb had left the Conservatory. His teachers were Evan Moranakzy, Ruben Merrill, George W. Leach and John Lane. Even though he had his own dye house his income was not sufficient to pay his teachers and as a consequence he suffered many hardships and he received years his musical' education cost him $7,000, every cent of which he paid himself. For five years Mr. Lamb was soloist at the Church of the Immaculate Conception. In 1911 Mr. Lamb sold his dye house and came to New York where he gave many concerts of his own and afterward became a successful teacher. In 1923 he presented Louetta Chatman, coloratura soprano and one of his best pupils, in a concert at Aeolian Hall, this being the first time a Negro pupil trained entirely by a Negro had so appeared. His next pupil to appear at Aeolian Hall was Burneredden Mason, contralto who gave a concert on April 9, 1925 and a concert on June 3 concert there next May 9. Both Mason Chatman and Miss Mason were very favorably accepted by Metropolitan critics. Another of Mr. Lamb's successful pupils is Frederick Moss, tenor, chormaster at the Newark Presbyterian Church. Mr. Lamb's studio is in the Metropolitan Building, Orange, N. J., where he has been for two years. The members of the ensemble are Louette Chattman, Margaret Bryns, Wesley Wynnola Pendleton, Mary Norvell, Wilhelmina Young, Anna Brown, soprans; Burnedene Mason, Willie Mae White, Marrietta White, Mary Smoot, Emma Long, contralto; Roberta Tennell, Threadgill, temors; Matthew Jackson, Whitfield Grooves, Frederick Clarke, John Threadgill, bassos. Costly to Count Your Money in the Street James Harrison, 28, 2215 Fifth avenue, and Charles Jones, 28, 106 Morningside avenue, were held without ball for a further hearing when arranged Saturday before Magistrate Renaud in Harlem Court on charges of grand larceny made by James Canavan of 752 E. 163d street. According to the story told by Canavan, who is a driver employed for Burns Bros. Coal company, he was waiting for a car at 135th street and Fifth avenue, and stopped to count his money which he had just received as wages, and which amounted to $37. The two men came along, he said, and one of them snatched the money from his hand and ran away. He screamed and Detectives Prantner and McAllister of the East 126th street gate gave chase and caught Harrison. The latter implicated Jones, who was arrested in his home. Both men are said by the police to have long police records.

Theodore, who resides at 487 Tompkins avenue, is alleged to have broken into the home of Davis Becker, white, of 5215 Fifteenth avenue, about 4 a. m. on March 13 and attempted to snatch a $3,000 diamond ring from the finger of Mrs. Rose Becker while she slept. Mrs. Becker was sleeping on the second floor in a twin bed beside that of her husband when she was married, the touch of the young man's hand, the touch of the young her three sons, Bernard Frederick. They pounced upon Philips and held him until the arrival of Patrolman Lynsky of the Park THREE ville station, who had been called by Mr. Bocker, father of the three young men. Prior to entering the house Phillips is allotted to have followed his usual custom and removed his coat on a collapsible pocket coat hanger. After making his entry he left his shoes in the kitchen. In the Flatbush Court Phillips stated that he was a student at the Bodee Dental College at 85 Court street. In the evening he acted as a porter for John Reisner, "John the Barber" of fight fame. At the dental school his record is said to be excellent and he apparently has no police record. He unmarried at the time of his arrest. The police claim that when he was searched Phillips' pockets were filled with pictures of pretty white women. They went to his room on Tompkins avenue and allege that they found $5,000 worth of other jewelry there, and they believe the police may be responsible for a number of other robberies in the same section. When taken to the FlatBath room, he was given him for examination without bath.

"Ability, Experience and Integrity" Are Essence of Good Business, Says Overto President of Victory Life Insurance Company, National Bank President and Manufacturer Addresses Meeting of His New York Agents "Faith, Hope and Charity is the essence of good Christianity, and the essence of good business is ability, experience and integrity, and the greatest of these is integrity." These are "Some Essentials of Business Success," according to Anthony J. Overton, president of the Victory Life Insurance Company, who addressed the "Victory Family" agents and stockholders on that subject at a meeting Friday night at the West 137th Street Branch Y. W. C. A. FOUR' "There are opportunities in every business. Money as an essential constitutes the smallest part of good business, which is conducted 92 per cent on credit and 3 per cent on cash," he commented and continued: "The Southern Negro business man may have ability but often falls because he lacks an understanding of the underlying foundation of business. They need schooling to follow up their ambition and, lacking this, they fall when their business grows beyond their control. "It is experience that backs up every successful business. Men of experience are always brought in from other institutions when it is desired to successfully develop a business." Dr. Philip M. H. Savory, vice-president of Victory Life, also spoke. Lemuel Foster, manager of the New York office, 2210 Seventh avenue, was master of ceremonies. Among the Victory managers, agents and stockholders present were: Samuel J. Davis, Marie P.

Thank you, dear, so much for your sweet and loving letter. This is to tell you how very much I love you. I wish you a very happy New Year and will do all I can to make it happy and every other one." Writes Verse He admitted sending her at snout er time the following lines: "Although my love for you is true." I cannot give my heart to you; The reason why is very clear: You have my heart already, dear. To which he added: "Dear sweet heart, this carries with it all my love forever, darling. Your own ... Harry." Harry's Odd Love Explained by Divorcee Ella Merkle Wallace, white, a well-dressed blonde of Freeport, who recently divorced the son of Judge Archibald Wallace, was among the eleven witnesses who testified for Letty on Monday. She testified that she knew the couple as Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown. She said that Harry told her: "I've been fooled too much; two white women fooled me. That's why I'm going to marry her (Letty). She's like an Egyptian princess." But even then, Mrs. Wallace said, he referred to Letty as his wife. George and Oliver Reynolds, plumbing contractors; Lewis Morrison, Diane Ismane, paving contractor; Dr. Edwin K. Aute, druggist, all white residents of Freeport, testified that they knew Curtis and Letty as Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brown. Mrs. Lillian F. Colyer, white, an old resident of Freeport, testified that she often talked with the pair and saw them hug and kiss. John H. Saunders of Homestead, L. I.; Walter J. Tedrington and Mrs. Anna Johnson, both of Manhattan, testified that they knew the couple as man and wife. The most interesting witness testimony came from Mrs. Sarah Jones of Freeport, who said she once saw Harry and Lotty at the breakfast table in their Freeport home. That Harry told her that he loved Lotty just the same as other men loved their wives and that she could have anything she wanted. The fun started when Attorney Steiner questioned her about the marriage she spared in keeping for Mrs. Brown to do and cat, named "Wednesday" "Friday" and "Sunday," respectively. Board for the pets came to $216 for eight months. Mrs. Jones said, and she has never been paid. Mrs. Jones was also the house cleaner for the couple. Curtis testified that, although he met and mingled with Lotty's friends, he had his scripts about meeting them, "I couldn't very well order them out of the house," he said. Curtis said he became suspicious of Lotty when she kept up her continuous demand for cash and when so many bad checks and unpaid bills and notes came in to him. He put Detective Flynn, white on her truth to trace down the cause of her innumerable debts, he said. Atty. Myers took the stand under cross-examination by Atty. Illy. Atty. Myers told the court of several subterfuges Letty employed to get additional cash from Harry. Two instances were when she asked for $1,000 to pay on a house she said she inherited at Tallahassee and which had partly burned down. Another time she asked for money to have a shale put on a gate in a cemetery that she also owned a lot. Both claims were investigated and found false and, Atty. Myers testified, Letty admitted they were all crimes. Harry was also told that Letty was having other men in the Freeport home. "The Last Straw" This was not the straw, but the ton of bricks, that broke the camel's back. The Freeport home had been mortgaged, foreclosed and sold by Letty, but Harry saved it from the loan sharks and bought it back and turned it over to a banker by the name of DeWitt. He cut off all maintenance for Letty, but permitted her to continue to live in the Freeport home, it was testified, for the rental of one dollar a year. About this time Letty signed an affidavit denying marital relations with Curtis, it is said, because Curts promised to pay her debts to one Mr. White, whom she the butcher, from whose hands she borrowed cash "to give to the Ku Klux." Then the suit against Curtis by Patton's wife began about January, 1927. Curtis testified that he setled the suit for $1,500 cash to keep his name clear, but that he did not do it especially for Letty. Mrs. Brown became really down and out, penniless, shivering with cold and hungry in the Freeport home, where the gas had been turned off, said Atty. Myers. "I want to the gas company's office and paid the bill of $15 out of my own pocket," he testified. "She was often hungry and came to my office for dinner money and cartoas. I told Curtls that he could not, as a Christian man, turn her out in the cold like that after he had been with her for fifteen years; that he should give her something. I told him she had have at least $50 a week and expense money. She got. She moved out of the Freeport home and I went out of the Harlem with her until she found an apartment. Her expenses were paid and she received $50 a week up to the time she brought her separation suit. Then the payments stopped. I did everything I could for her, even shielded her from the detectives and Harlem blackmasters. "But I told her in the beginning that, if she wanted any help from me, she would have to come clean and tell me the truth about everything. That was when she signed her letter and gave me her life story in writing." Atty. Carey said yesterday that he will appeal his case. Alleged Wife Confronts Ebimber (Continued from page 1.) to cross the bridge before I get to it. So far as I know, I did not marry a prince. He never told me he was one; and moreover, before I married him I made certain investigation in East Africa where I own much property, and I learned that he was well known, but not as a prince." "Did you ever hear of Prince Dino Akwa?" she was asked. "Yes, I knew him well, but have never heard that he had any nephews. "Where is your husband now, Mrs. De Mena?" "Well," she answered, "he is supposed to be working on some job on the outskirts of the city. I am not in communication with him, however, and I do not know just where he is." "When do you expect him back?" she was asked. "He told me, when he left, that he would be gone for two weeks. That period of time has not elapsed. When it does, I will expect to see him." "What have you to say in regards to the accusation 'made by Mrs. Chippeau'?" "Nothing at all." she replied. "She is the accuser, and it is now up to her to prove her assertion. My course of action will depend on whether she fails or succeeds. However, I hope that woman knows what she is doing." Granted Second Reprieve AUSTIN, Tex., March 19. (P. N.

The opinion scores the owners of the vessel and its navigators for attempting to cross amid ice floes and for permitting the overcrowded condition of the Lluseed King. ```markdown ``` Judge Hazel estimated that seventy-eight persons were aboard the launch when it started from the Manhattan pier on its trip to the Spencer Kellogg plant at Edgewater, N. J. The capacity of the boat was said to be about fifty persons. Judge Hazel pointed out that most of the men on board were trapped in the little cabin which was plunged in darkness when the engines began to work. They were immediately escape through windows or reach the life preservers. Many that were not drowned almost, immediately died later from exposure. The opinion state that the Linseed King was unseaworthy because it had not been built to combat the ice floes and that "mere seaworthiness in ordinary conditions is not the sole factor in estimating a vessel's fitness." "The evidence preponderantly shows," the decision continued, "that fault and negligence were committed in the navigation of the Linseed King, in consequence of which injuries were sustained by survivors and numerous lives lost. The petitioner has not shown that the disaster was without its privy and knowledge. On the contrary, I find the evidence sufficient to warrant the determination that the occurrence was with the privy and knowledge of petitioner's superintendent and manager, under whose supervision the boat was operated and whose privy and knowledge is imputable to the corporation." Silas B. Axtell, counsel for fifty-eight of the claimants, said the decision was satisfactory to the claimants. Judge Hazel declined to act in regard to the plan of the company to settle all damages under the compensation act. As a result of the opinion the company will now have the right to prosecued with jury trials in each instance, or, if they decide to prosecute, with trials. It mit the matter to be sent to a commissioner to fix damages and report to the court.

Davila was arrested by Detective Cordes of Inspector Coughlin's staff. He is charged with purchasing 18 Panama hats valued at $400 for $50. These hats had been stolen, the police say, from the loft of Isadora Klein of 801 Broadway by James Brown, 87, of 2204 Seventh avenue, and Henry Dawsey, 84, of 86 East street. The latter is employed as an elevator operator in the building where Klein's factory is located and he and Brown are alleged to have stolen the hats, which they are alleged to have sold to Davila.

His ball was put at $4,000, in default of which he went to prison. SLEEPING SWEETHEART FATALLY BURNED WASHINGTON, D.

Native African, Former Janitor. Arrested as Murderer of Teacher Native African, Former Janitor. Arrested as Murderer of Teacher A steel web of circumstantial evidence woven around Martin L. Miller, native African, formerly a janitor at 1801 Park place, Brooklyn, has connected him with the murder of Mrs Helen C. Kimball, 25, white school teacher, who was found shot to death in her apartment at the above address Monday morning. Martin was apprehended Monday night in a poolroom at 1 Arch street, Paterson, N. J., where, after a tussle with detectives, he was subdued by a fierce blow from a blackjack, which laid open three inches of his scalp. He was removed to the General Hospital, where he was detained as a prisoner. He is said to have confessed the crime to Inspector Sullivan, chief of detectives in Brooklyn. Shortly before 8 o'clock Monday morning William Wallace Kimball, husband of the slain woman, kissed his wifo goodbye and left for the John Ericsson High School, where he is professor of algebra and assistant principal. Not long afterward Miss Ruth Jones, white, 32, and her brother, James, whose apartment adjoins the Kimballs, heard scream and a few seconds later a bullet ploughed the wall and crashed into the left wing of her triple dressing mirror, just above Miss Jones' head. She was in bed at the time and would have been killed if she had arisen when she heard the screams. Sergeant Francis Campbell and Patrolman Schoener of the Atlantic avenue station were passing in a police fliver and were called in by Eldredge Gregg, the janitor who had replaced Miller. It was necessary to force an entrance into the Kimball apartment. Mrs. Kimball was found lying on the bed, a bullet having passed through her body at the chest and grazing her wrist. She was still breathing, but by the time an ambulance surgeon arrived she was dead. Detectives then swarmed on the scene. Kimball was called from school and he wept when he saw the tragedy. Miller was connected with the crime when Mrs. Walter C. Smith, white, 195 Park place, which is an alighting park, told Inspector Shipman that they earlier fell in the building she had seen Miller colliding down the dumbwaiter in her building. She questioned him, she said, and he told her that he had gotten his job back as jailor and that he was recalling the dumbwaiter. Miller was further implicated in the crime when unopened letters were found on a hallway table in the Kimball home, possibly indicating that he was let in when he brought Mrs. Kimball the mail from the mailbox in the hallway down stairs. The mail is never brought up to us. Kimball said. The police then spread a tight net on Miller's capture, and his arrest in Paterson followed the same evening. TYSON FREED.

Name Address (Write Plainly) Monarch Band to Give Second Concert Lleut. Simpson's Monarch Band will give its second free band concert of a series of four free monthly concerts Sunday afternoon at $ 3 p.m. in the auditorium of P. S. No. 136, St. Nicholas avenue and 135th street. Lloyd Gray, a member of the band, will act as master of ceremonies. Felix Weir will be the guest artist Mendelsohn's "Dudate" on the band's Friday, the band's star cornetist, will give an interpretation of Rossini's "Inflammatus" on the cornet. The leutonant has arranged another excellent musical program, such as that which delighted 700 people at the first concert of the band last month. From these free concerts the band members hope that sufficient community interest will be aroused whereby the people of Harlem will make enough contributions to enable Monarch Band to give weekly concerts in St. Nicholas Park during the entire summer. These park concerts are under the supervision of the City of New York, but there are not sufficient funds given by the city to enable the band to play each week. The concert begins promptly at 3 p. m. All seats are free. Sunday's full program will be as follows: March, "The Captiol"; Rappe, "The Glacoca"; Ponchelli; Poesia Campera, "Marligny Tango"; Candisio; Grand Fantasy, "Carmen"; Elzet, "The Rosary"; Nevin, "La Feria Los Toros", Lacome, and a descriptive number, "Forge in the Forest", Michaelis. Two Youths Held on Girl's Serious Charges Arraigned Saturday before Magistrate Renaud in Harlem Court on a serious charge made by two young girls, two youths, George Johnson, 17, 2361 Eighth avenue, and Clark Ransom, 16, 16 East 132d street, were held for a further hearing. Johnson was arrested by Detective Chiquette of the West 123d street station after Thelma Wilkinson, 15, of 3 West 132d street, had complained that, he had attacked her home last November. The girl was placed in the custody of the Children's Society by Agent Raderick. Johnson pleaded guilty to the charge and told Magistrate Renaud he wanted to marry the Wilkinson girl. The Magistrate held him in $1,500 bail for the Grand Jury. Miss Janie Gregory, 13, of 213 West 142d street, appeared as complainant against the Ransom boy, who was arrested in his home by Detectives O'Connor and Gillece of the East 126th street station. The girl charges she was attacked by Ransom in his home last December. He denies the charge and was held in $1,000 bail for a further hearing. Strike Vote Next Move by Porters As a result of the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission that it did not have jurisdiction over the case of the Pullman porters, a decision which, according to A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, is unsound and untenable, the organization is definitely preparing to create an emergency. The first step in the creation of an emergency is the taking of a strike vote, according to Mr. Randolph. "A strike vote, however," he says, "doesn't mean that the porters will necessarily strike. A strike vote is intended to show to what extent the men are committed to their demands, how firmly they believe in their cause, and how many are willing to strike if necessary to achieve their demands." The strike ballot, according to Randolph, is a secret ballot which the Pullman Company will not see. Only the United States Mediation Board will review the strike vote in order to determine the existence of emergency. The Pullman Company will have no opportunity to victimize a porter because he voted for the strike, since it will not be able to find out who did or did not vote. The strike ballot will be investigated by the Mediation Board just as the membership of the Brotherhood was investigated by the Board. March 15 marked the staging of a series of meetings throughout entire country, for the purpose of informing the men of the next step to be taken. The meeting in New York, held at St. Luke's Hall, was addressed by Dr. Robert W. Bagnall, director of branches for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; the Rev. Wallace C. Battle; field secretary of the American Church Institute for Negroes, and General Organizer Randolph. TEXAS HOLDUP GETS 99 YEARS DALLAS, Tex., March 19 (P. N.

Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness The doctors tell us that 90 percent of all sickness is due to stomach and bowel troubles. You can't be well if your digestion is bad; you are likely to get sick unless you relish food and digest it properly. Tianlac has a wonderful record as a relief from digestive troubles even those of years' standing. Mrs. Ellen White of 21 Sanger St. New Hartford, N. Y., writes us: "For years I suffered from indigestion. I got no relief from anything until I took Tianlac. After my fourth bottle, I feel like a new person and have a fine appetite." If you suffer from gas, pain in the stomach or bowel, dizziness, nausea, constipation or torpid liver; if you have no appetite, can't sleep and are nervous and all run down, you need Tianlac. It is good, pure medicine, made of roots, herbs and barks. Get a bottle your drugstreet today. Money oak if it doesn't help you. Tanlac 52 MILLION BOTTLES USED SIX Miss Helena L.

T. Whitney and Theophilus Lewis, brought about by the article of Mr. Lewis appearing in "Liberty and Tongue" and which was reproduced in this paper. We have been in such close contact with the actor, his friends and scores of those interested in what is going on in the theatre we feel that we are a better judge of what is interesting to these people than those far removed. We have been so close to the actor one unimpossibly within the past few weeks has taken delight in telling us he has seen us back stage mingling with the performers. What he has tried to show is that we had no right to poke in a fellow writer who also had the habit of writing with the performers. What he has tried to remember is that we were having some fun with the fact that the writer we had in mind used to appear back stage with his largest pencil and a raft of paper, taking notes so that each and every performer should know that he was getting ready to tell the world about them. So that they would make no mistake and confound him with those of us beneath him as a writer, he also had his picture on his personnel card. Pardon the impression, but it had to come. We are today more firmly convinced over that Theophilus Lewis knew what he was talking about. We have read Mr. Whitney's article carefully and still find him a victim of melon mastings. Some of our learns undown journalistic perhaps say that it is not good ethics for us to take sides in the matter, but we started it and have never lacked what little courage was necessary to state an opinion. Careful and constant observation has brought us to the place where we would rather a discussion of this kind take up this entire page when the time is ripe than to be forced to reproduce the usual hash of a memoir. We have been told that even yokels can see anything to enjoy in them week after week, mouth after mouth and year after year. In the meantime Mr. Whitney's appended article has furnished us the best laugh of the new year. It is easy to shoot it to pieces it will be like taking candy from a baby when lewis pulls up his heavy artillery. My, my, my! By S. TUTT WHITNEY. An intelligent discussion of so vital a question, situation or problem, as the Negro actor and the stage should be productive of some good results. I pleaded "not guilty" to Mr. Lewis' bitter denunciation of the Negro actor, as set forth in his article entitled, "The Negro Actor's Deficit." I eagerly anticipated his reply. I sincerely hoped that he would score some good points in favor of his argument. Truthfully, I am disappointed. As a member of my company put it after reading Mr. Lewis' reply, "Mr. Lewis replied, but he did not say anything." I am compelled to score my good friend Romeo, either he is biased, has lost his powers of discernment selling his papers or is so enthusiastically partisan that he is no longer eligible to sit upon a jury and render a verdict. I refuse to admit that Mr. Lewis laid waste my claim and fall to catch even the reflection from the brilliancy of his reply. The work of Whitney and Tutt in past years and up to the present time bears record that we have always stood for the highest and best that the Negro stage could produce. We do not favor indecency of any actor appearing upon stage, but that the reiterate that the actor alone is not responsible for present day conditions. more witnessed a performance of our "Children of the Sun." Afterwards they wrote us that, in their opinion, the show was a delightfully surprising entertainment, but it was over the heads of the majority of our people. G. Wells Parker, scholar, ethnologist and archaeologist, Any manager reserves the right to cancel an unclean act or performance at a moment's notice. If the things said and done upon the stage, which Mr. Lewis scores so indignantly, were not sanctioned by the theatergoers, he and done. If salaciousness, nudity and double entente did not appeal to the majority of our theatrical patrons, the managers would not allow the actors to indulge this form of entertainment. Our playwrights and producers include some of these features in their shows because they are desired by the managers and the theatergoers. It is as plain as the noonday sun in a cloudless sky. The evidence is irrefutable. The facts are daily impled upon the minds and denting the pocketbooks of those of us on the road who attempt to evade the popular demand. I am going to attempt to prove that Mr. Lewis is not entirely guilty of his subject not being intimately accustomed with the剧 actors, ideals and accomplishments of some of the actors of whom he makes derogatory mention. When Mr. Lewis speaks of the Negro stage I presume he offers to what is being done by race actors upon the stages of race theatres. The Negro stage was degenerate at the time, but it was now a tool of culture and intelligence to recommend it, it could hardly deteriorate. Instead, the trend of its progress has been steadily upward. Despite the lowly beginning, and the innumerable handicaps, managers, producers and actors are raising the standards of the race theatres. The stage is now more or less ruled away. From two or three thousand tonks, frequented only by easy tonkers, we have increased the number of our theatres to more than 400. Some of these compare favorably with the best white theatres. The clientele of our theatres is now largely scorned a race theatre are now frequent attenders. Managers and actors will not be slow to meet the demands of this class of patrons. What Mr. Lewis thinks of me as an individual is of small moment. But what Mr. Lewis has to say of my work upon the stage or rather what I have contributed to the stage demands consideration. Mr. Lewis writes, "— an actor with a following can capitalize his ability for the benefit of his ideals. He can demand increased salary or benefits and become a manager becomes substantial enough to produce his own." That is exactly what Whitney and Tutt have done the greater part of their show career. We put out show after show, ignoring the offers of white producers because, we wished to exploit our own talent. We saw a clean, wholesome entertainment. Our shows were presented in white theatres to mixed audiences from New York to New Orleans. We played Hampton Isle, fifty-seven street and Broadway, with "Oh Joy." Tensions rattled it us one of the best race rouses that had appeared downtown. As to the influence of our Smarter Set Shows, Dr. Lester, Denn at Meharry University, said the Smarter Set shows had done more to inspire the youth of the South than any other theater. H. D. Collins, booking agent and theatrical manager, said that when the managers came to New York to get their season's booking, those from the middle West and South rated us as one of the three biggest theaters in Angling Brook. Circus A.M. G. Fields' Minstrels and the Smarter Set. A delegation of students from the John Hopkins University of Baltimore 11. more witnessed a performance of our "Children of the Sun." Afterwards they wrote us that, in their opinion, the show was a delightfully surprising entertainment, but it was over the heads of the majority of our people. G. Wells Parker, scholar, ethnologist and archaeologist, supplied the historical data for "Our Children of the Sun," which in the opinion of D. Chas. B. Wickham and hundreds of others was ten years in advance of the times. We have never presented a show on a tabloid without introducing a different. If not an original comedy situation, it may be the scenes or our stories in every part of the show even in the Arctic zone, in an effort to present new dances and comedy situations. We emphatically depy that we have contributed in any way, as Mr. Lewis terms it, to the demoralization of the Negro stage. Our work stands for approval. Mr. Lewis says that I doubt the actor's ability because I ask, "When did ever the actor force the public to accept a form of entertainment it did not desire?" I am still asking Mr. Lewis, the actor presented no convincing argument to the contrary. He claims that every actor who creates a following does it — The statement is absurd. Rather the actor divines or accidentally stumbles upon something the public really likes. Searching for the biggest gamble in this case, Neither actors or managers care to gamble with a presentation, no matter how forcibly it may appeal to them, if they feel that it will not prove acceptable to the public. They know from experience that if the public does not like it the public does not like it, the deal of forcing people to pay to see what they do not like is ridiculous. To clinch his argument, Mr. Lewis says: "For example, a certain actor used to make a big hit by leading a trained mule on the stage. Did the actor in question wait for the public to hold a mass meeting and demand the act, or did he think it up himself and spring it on his audience as a big surprise and make them like it." For Mr. Lewis' information, it was Mr. S. H. Dudley who made such a tremendous hit with his trained mule. Mr. Dudley was one of our three greatest comedians: Earnest Hogan, Bert Williams and S. H. Dudley. His comedy was of that spontaneous, offensively varied variety that tickled the risibles of all who saw him. He was original and versatile to a high degree. Yet, Mr. Dudley is not so upon the public. He was showman and know that a trained mule, like a trained monkey, always makes a humorous appeal to an audience. I do not say that an actor should not think, that he should be a copycat or a plagiarist. Actors should always be studying, inventing and presenting something new or different to entertain the audience. But when he presents it, if it does not lift him, it not force the public to accept it, no matter what his standing, popularity or following. If it were possible to force the public to accept what it does not want in the theatrical line, the worry of promoters, managers, playwrights and actors would oce at an end. There would be no舞台, the hops. The Jolsones, Camerons, Hampers and crymores would not be so concerned about the vehicles in which they are booked to appear. Mr. Dudley was a comedian with a large and enthusiastic following, but he never attempted to force the public to accept him in a serious dramatic role. Bert Williams always had a desire to appear in a serious dramatic role, but said he, "I wouldn't me to make them laugh, they wouldn't accept me in a dramatic role." Mr. Lewis continues: "At this moment I can only think of one actor who is distinctive to offer." Mark did not say who is offering any did not say who is offering any WHITNEY AGAIN WAVES THE CUDGELS Shaft From Writer Brings Dart From Actor thing distinctive, but who has anything distinctive to offer. Mr. Lewis does not know all the actors nor all the actresses, neither does he know what we have to offer. Bloody actor, he has no experience storing away in his brain, something he would like to do. But when he suggests it to the managers, too often they tell him the public wants to see you do so-and-sing the song that made you popular, etc. The most difficult thing the actors have to do is to prove both producers and the managers to take a chance with a new idea. He says: "What Dodo Green did last week Emmett Anthony is doing this week and Slim Henderson will no next week. Week after week brings a continuous succession of mediocre actors troubling through whose prologue "these are those whose names in mentioned are not mediocre actors. Each one enjoys one broadway stamp of approval. They may at times give a mediocre performance, but they are capable of the best. We will not deny that there is too much sameness about the shows offered, but the theatres are crowded to see the shows. Dodo Green does have a trot that he has tried again and again to secure the financial backing for their production. Mr. Lewis says I lack patriotism and distrust my people because I said: "If we attempted to enact a portrayal of Toussaint L'Overture, we would most likely have to make the great patriot do the black bottom to pat him over." That remark, boiled down, says Mr. Lewis, "means that American Negroes are a race ofools. It means no such thing. I not want to be a race general, but to the majority of those who attend our theaters, who would know little or nothing of Toussaint L'Overture or his history. I speak with the knowledge of experience. We gave a stage impersonation of Dean Kelly Miller in our "Darkest Americans" show; he was truthfully portrayed as a scholar and a thinker, yet we were amazed to find how many persons who saw the show had never heard of the great scholar, writer and philosopher. Many were born in the South, and were severely criticized by one of our leading critics for introducing the character. I know from sad experience and loss of money that a show cannot depend upon our thinkers, scholars and aristocrats for its support, so managers and actors are compelled to make the show. Slowly and patiently these are being educated to appreciate a higher form of entertainment. About 15 years ago we introduced an animated moving picture scene in one of our shows, called "At the Old Post Office Door." During the audience guffawed with laughter, Chas. E. Barton, then with the ColumbiBurlesque wheel, said: "Salem, you will have to cut that scene, it will not be appreciated by enough of your people." If presented now, that self-same scene would be a hit. When we build a show to cover the circuit, we must build to please the (Continued on Page 11.) Colored Regulars Depicted as in Those Hectic Days of '98 in Cuba In the years that have followed the charge of Roosevelt's Rough Riders under a ruthering soo Salman will fill the list of that broken line of men has been precious to the hearts of all men, women and children. Every American should see "The Rough Riders" at the Lincoln Theatre for the glory of this one scene alone which Paramount has reproduced so vividly. Piercey, with tigerish fury—in a way to strike terror to the bosom of the bravest foe—the picture shows the rushing madmen leaping toward the Spanish guns. They are following the Spanish guns with a peacock blue—a kerkish soaked with sweat that shields the neck of Theodore Roosevelt from the bilistering heat of the gun. On an elevation is a red-tiled ranch-house, now known as Kettle Hill, and from it comes blast after blast of iron death. A simple thing, after all, to the decisive mind of T. R. His men are maligned in a jungle area. Before them is an open basin and up on the crest a but with a raft of swamp frogs, far off in the swamp. His hat and gives the order to charge. His pony, Texas, leaps forward. Behind him comes a cheering line of steel-jaw fighters, their faces streaked with dirt. He waves his sword and the shash is a beacon of courage. Mauser bullets whine through the tall grass, attinging like deadly darts. A barbed wire fence forty yards from the crest of Rosevelt. He dismounts and flings over. The Rough Riders come on furiously in the assault. Aligned with them are the brave, black regulars of the Ninth Cavalry, a colored regiment that never knew the word fear. There is an inundation of the trenches as the Rough Ridera swarm up, headless of a rain of fire from the Spaniards' second line of defense. To the left, General Kent's stormtrooper stumps the Army blockhouse. Roosevelt swings the fire of his troops on the Spanish defenders and the blockhouse is captured. "Come on, boys!" says Roosevelt and his men charge across a wide valley to the farther hill of San Juan. Bullets sing around them, over them—often, through them. On another row of his overlooking Sunnyhill, the enemy's merciless fire. It takes a severe order to stop them from following the foe clear into the fortified city. A wave of adulation for Roosevelt sweeps over the United States the next day when press and public herald his victorious feat.

A novelty feature of next week's musical concussion at the Alhambra will be a menagerie of trained animals. "Circus Day" is the name of the revue, and there will be a street parade and everything. There will be as large an acting company as ever, and the circus features will be an extra added attraction woven right into the revue. The photohappy play will be "The Land of the Lawless," a powerful adventure story with stiltwist Jack Padian. ANT OF PAGE FAIR OF THE Ziegfeld and Jimmie Cooper Casting at the Alhambra The Alhambra Theatre is rapidly becoming one of the business producing centers in the country and a most active source of colored film and shows. Last Thursday night, after the performance at the Alhambra, the fa- cilities of the theatre were placed in the disposal of the Ziegfeld or organization for the selection of talent for the "Showboat" company that is to sail in a few days for London. (Willie Wedge, who recently turned from abroad, is in charge with the aid of Max Scheck, general European manager for the Ziegfeld interests. Quite a number of people were selected for the cast to go to England. Other "Showboat" companies will be organized for Chicago and Boston. The original company con- tains to do a capacity business a Ziegfeld Theatre in town, and will certainly remain a year in New York. The production staff of the Alhambra Theatre is also selecting talent for an all-summer company opening April 2 at Waldron's Casino in Boston for Jimmie Cooper and for several other troupes for New York and other cities. One of the principal motion picture producing corporations has asked the Alhambra staff to locate certain types of beauty for a notable story to be filmed this summer. "Let's Dance" at the Lafayette This Week Iryn C. Miller's latest revue, "Let's Dance," opened a week's engagement at the Lafayette. Miller drew dancers, comedians, singers and musicians from his two road shows for this week's Lafayette program. Chick Webb's Roseland Orchestra and the famous Mikado Troupe render the music both on the stage and in the pit. They were received in rival rivals from the accordion accorded Fletcher Henderson at his recent appearance at the Lafayette Theatre. Emmett Authority is the chief funmaker, and he certainly had the audience holding their sides. Sledge and Sledge also performed in the comedy department, Ida Brown and Edna Barr led the female contingent. Information is at hand that an unfortunate train wreck in the Middle West had delayed the arrival of S. L. Dhillon and Edna Barr, they were due to arrive Tuesday morning, however, to add their talent to the show. The photoplay program for the week embraces two features. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the feature will be "My Friend From India, a charming comedy romance, with a twist." The film feature will be "The Web of Fate," one of the season's most thrilling melodramas. "Three Chorus Girls" Under the above title Andy Razaf has submitted some other poems, which will grace these columns in our next issue. Razaf has for the past few years confined his journalistic efforts almost exclusively to The Amsterdam News. / Only Bell Saves Tutt Whitney Famous Actor Almost Goes Out in Ninth Round From Right of Kid Lewis SECONDS WORKING HARD Negro Stage Defender Comes Up for Tenth and Final Round Groggy From Blows The thrilling battle between S. Tutt Whitney, middleweight champion of the Negro stage, and Battling (Theophilus) Kid Lewis, the crack lightweight of Negro journalism, forced to go out of his class to meet heavier fighters because of his brilliant work in the ring, almost ended in a knockout in the ninth round, when Lewis unleashed an avalanche of body blows and an awful right to the jaw which sent Whitney to the floor. Lewis had worked Whitney right up against the ropes near the latters corner and brought the house to its feet as he whaled away and hit the stage champion with everything but the bucket. As Lewis turned to the referee to ask him to stop the bout to save Whitney from the scandal, and Whitney's seconds, led by L. Lauryard, hastily grabbed the comedian and bullied him to his corner. As Lewis started for his corner for the minute's rest the crowd sent up a wild shout and the kid raised his right hand, a la Delaney, and mounted to his chair. Bob Edgren, of the New York Evening Word, and Jorge underwood of Telemann, joined ringside seats and Lewis was conversing with them as his seconds rubbed his legs. The antipod young fighter wore a confident smile as his seconds worked on him, while in the corner of Whitney excitement prevailed. J. Hormet Tutt, his chief second, was working frantically to go. Whitney interrupted and got round. The smell was gregiously murmuring "Sometimes you're up, and sometimes you're down." Chappe Gardner, who had crashed the gate, was, like One-Eyed Connolly, occupying a ringside seat, obtained how none can tell, shouted to Whitney: "Yea, sometimes, but it looks as if you're going down to do homework. My Gawd! I placed all I had on Whitney, Fan him harder, Bayard." Learning over the almost prostrate form of the spent fighter, L. Baynard whispered as he swung the towel: You see Salem, the modus operandi, the man who was bound, for all these people here tonight think you are a ham and can't use it. Get going, Salem, get going. Benny Butler is over there laughing, and we can't stand that." It. Doughers, who made the sound and woke on the trail of Tex Rickard as a fist impression, was up in the gallery with the gods smoking a Mecca and having dreams of putting on the next birth of the Century Note. The Schiffman, of the Dovehill, of the Lafoln, and Mr. of the Alhambra Theatre, also arranged ringside seats, prepared to offer a week to the winner of the fight. They were all pulling for Whitney. "The way he looks now," said Theatre in Brooklyn, speaking of Whitney. "I guess he will be led to play the Putnam." The Honorable John T.

Dudley, who came all the way from Washington to see the fight, was also yelling for Whitney: "Come on, Salem, that upstart said that if my mute died I wouldn't have any act." The house was packed with a number of small-time actors and chorus girls rooting for Whitney and they heard him. Dudley they sent up and used the whistle blew and the gag gave the signal for the tenth and last round. Whitney, still groggy from the effects of the blows he was forced to play receiver-general for in the previous round, got up mighty groggy and immediately assumed a crouch. Lewis cana dancing out of his corners on his toes. My, my, my! What a picture of perfect grace and verile as he danced around groggy presented as he danced around wabbley Whitney. Felting the representative of the stage into a knot, he whispered: "Samo old bunk, Whitney; same old bunk. If they licensed a gang of disorderly houses on Seventh avenue the patronage would be enormous. The propriety from your line of reasoning, could be made up, demanded them. Ye, but we have got to do something for the yokes in spite of and not because of them. Further."—— Whack! Bang! Zip! Zowle!

No sooner than the announcement had been made of the plans by Mrs. Downs to again try out sketches at her new Lincoln Theatre the drama came trouping to Harlem, what with "Meek Mose" at the Lafayette and "Salome" at the Alhambra, the latter playing a one-night stand. On account of the late hour at which "Meek Mose" took the boards at the Lafayette, it is hard to tell just what would have been the result had the revue been presented in time to allow the heavier offering a chance. As it is, a number of people did. As the trip midnightly to the big Seventh Avenue house, but not in sufficient numbers to rejoice over. In the meantime the experiment at the Lincoln has met with favor that the audiences have been giving up the appliance to the sketches than to the novel. The never is done in a movie in expected, the same things have been done so often it would be expecting too much to see any unsuit enthusiasm on the part of audiences. The black-and-white Anderson Players are presenting the sketch entitled "Kick in," a miniature of the big play which turned away thousands from the Lafayette Theatre in the days when the drama brought them out in large numbers, and they are meant to the same experience greeted by other playlets of its kind since they started a few weeks back. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1928 News of Our Entertainers in Europe News of Our Entertainers in Europe The Amsterdam News Is the Only Publication of Its Kind That Offers This Feature to the Thousands of Its Readers in This Country Miss Flora Thomas, the patte pianist, has completed a course in piano at the Vincent D'Indy School of Music, which is one of the best conservatories in France. Miss Thomas has many friends here, due to her delightful personality. Mr. and Mrs. Loula Mitchell were "at home" last Sunday afternoon to a small group of friends in their cozy apartment. Among those present were Miss Sadie Hopking, Mr. and Mrs. Tanny London and Mrs. Aile Albo (Brick Top) Smith of Chicago, York and Paris. Refreshments of the first order were served. Both Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell are well known in New York and Washington. Mr. Mitchell is the propriator of Mitchell's Quick Lunch, a first-class restaurant at 25 Rue Puleau, Montmartre. Loula Jones played the "Devil Trill" of Tartini and a group of shorter pieces in a joint program given last Sunday at the American University Women's Club here. He gave an excellent rendition of his numbers received much applause. Mr. Charles Lewis was the able accompanist. Mr. Ralph C. Thompson, a student at Columbia University, is studying French grammar and literature here. He expects to enter the Sarbonne. "La Depeche 'Africaine' (the African Despatch) will make its debut into the world of Negro journalism here on television," he will be directed, we stand; divided, we fall." The news will be printed in English and French. We wish Monsieur Satainne and his associates success and prosperity in their new venture. Although Josephine Baker has left Paris, the book and notion stores are still featuring her pictures. The beauty shops are advertising "Bakerfix," a preparation (for the hair) which she sponsors. Excepting Lindbergh, Josephine Baker is probably the best known American in Europe. Layton and Johnstone have been given a reception that could not have been excelsed by Caruso, according to one of the Parisian dailies. They have taken all Paris into their hearts. Mr. and Mrs. George Archer had as their dinner guests last Sunday Massa. Loula Jones and the writer. The Archers have two very charming little girls. Andres and Georgine, whose ages are three and five years respectively. Last Friday night "The Cracker Jacks" under the direction of Bibbie Jones, entertained Europe for an hour "on the air." The selections were very snappy and the ensemble good. Joseph (known to all of his friends as "Joe") Cork's singing was one of the features. Maceo Jefferson, composer and artist of the barrio, has published two numbers in the weekly very popular here. They are "Bunlons" and "Marla." Both numbers are featured by the "New Yorkers" at the Embassy Club in the Champs Elysees. Mr. Jefferson is a member of this organization of symphonic jazz. The Fisk Jubilies Singers are to be the assisting artist in the earlier weekly concert (Saturday afternoon) of the Colonne Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Gabriel Pierce at the Theatre du Chatelet. Arrangements are now under way for the London presentation of "Show Boat." It is rumored that the directors are the number of the Negro artists from this city. "NOTICE," writes James Weldon Johnson, "every time a Negro musical comedy or revue is produced in New York that some of the critics express regretted that there is so minimal limitation of white musical shows. These comments remind us of the little boy who, in studying geography, made the discovery that all the big rivers flow by the large cities. "What the Negro players are up against is the fact that their stuff, which is actually exclusively their own, has been taken to a new level by white producers. Two of the chief elements in American musical shows today are Negroid in their derivation; they are the music and the dancing. This leaves only the plot and the costuming. So now when Negroes put on that act is actually typical Negro musical work they appear in the white players. It is an awkward situation for them and, really, I don't see what they can do about it. Do you?" The above item was taken from the column of Heywood Broun in a Philadelphia paper. "Porgy," revisited the other night somewhere along in the sixth month of its New York engagement, seemed to me even better as a play and as a performance than it did on that October evening at the幼童 Theatre. This is the fond and vivid and turbulent play which Dorothy and Du Hose Heyward wrought from his novel of the same name, a picture of Negro life in Catfish Row, the swarming rabbit warren which the darkness of the hanson has made out of the old house. But by grandes long since dead and gone. The performance in which the toiling from a distant stepple, the boom of the got horn in the harbor, the rackety laughter of the pickaninies, the nummer on stone, the wrattle of dice in the courtyard, the annoes of the drunken and the sorrowing of the heavy-laden have, by a miracle of imaginative direction, been orchestrated into a dumbo in brown, remains alive and still, not dulled it, not rubbed it of the News of Paris By A. F. Rosemond Some Dramatic Notes I have road with interest in the American Negro papers the Hon. Lady Cook's letter of Jan. 16, in regards to the Florence Mills Memorial Fund which she plans giving a special benefit performance at the London Pavilion in early summer. I have talked with Lady Cook at length on this subject and I find that regardless of the Florence Mills Memorial Fund in America Lady Cook has her own ideas and plans in wanting to give a big affair over here in Miss Mills' memory and establish the fund through the N. A. A. G. P. and since Lady Cook desires and wishes to honor Miss Mills' memory in this manner, I find it is not good policy to try to change her ideas along this line. (or course I understand those who sit at the head of the Florence Mills' Memorial Fund committee and when received a letter in few days ago from one of the members of the Florence Mills' Fund committee, I called up Lady Cook and talked with her again in regards to this matter and in conclusion she wrote me this letter which I am sending for publication. However, I must say that since Lady Cook is my friend to carry on her plans, just as she desires every way and being typical English, I am sure she will simply "carry on" just as she has made up her mind to do. In the meantime, she is anxious for the public in general to understand her in this matter and asked me to send this letter she has written me for publication in my notes to the Amsterdam News. I am sorry the Florence Mills' Memorial Fund should have felt badly over my decision to make our effort in London for the fund of the N. A. A. C. P. Did you ever hear how it happened? To start with, I cabled them about the beginning of last December to express their hope that we have made it to work here. This I did because I was told they wished me to do so, but I had heard nothing directly from them. On Monday morning, Dec. 19, I got a cable in reply, appointing me to organize, which was more than I bargained for, and on serious consideration I came to the conclusion that here in London I should have made up of the N. A. A. C. P. from Florence herself, we should get better results if we worked on broad lines to benefit the race generally, rather than for only one section of it, l. o., the theatrical profession. (Knowing London, as you do, I feel sure you will agree with me there.) Therefore, I cabled M. Shipp, declining the honor of serving, and explaining there was a need for a separate organization here. I imagined that was sufficient. I received no acknowledgment of my cable at all—nor any letter, and thought the matter closed. I asked, therefore, to get a cable, when my letter appeared later in the papers, asking an explanation, and that I should stop operations. I cabled them again referring them for explanation to my cable to M. Shipp, of Des. for this and my letter to the papers, for full explanation of my reasons and motives. I have a letter from the Florence Mills Memorial Fund, which I am just about to answer. You are a liberty. If you like to go and to unclose this letter to your friend and I close, as I began, this letter by repeating I am sorry they should feel badly about it. throb of life. And the climax of the first act, when the monstrous nightmare shadows, cast by the tossing arms of the mourners, dance a wretched and frightening rigdonado on the bare, scrotoon that elimax seems now, as it seemed when it was now, one of the high, memorable moments in the history of the American theatre. Now, as the besotted and murderous Crown, Paul Robeson has added his obnoxience to the performance, strengthening the cast immeanurably and demonstrating that he is in these funnelling one who, four, years ago, slipped away from law-school to play the Emperor Jones in Greenwich Village. By such occasional truncations from the concert platform this superbly ondewed giant can keep his hand in and hold the camera for the Negra Theatre, of which such plays as "In Abraham's Boson" and "Porg" are but harbringers. So says Alexander Woolcott in the New York World. Ethel Waters and Irene The Columbia Phonograph Company's latest record releases show an interesting concern for the higher grade ballad singing. Ethel Waters offers a new coupling in which her artistic restraint of phrasing is seen to better advantage than over. Coincidentally, Irene Gibbons, a new vocalist of this type, is presented as a pianist and opera singer. Miss Waters, Miss Gibbons is a recent discovery of whom we shall probably hear more, judging by the plaintive sweetness and appalling individuality of her voice.

Plano Violin Cornet Trombone Saxaphone Tenor Banjo News From Our Paris Correspondent Colored American Artists Score in Unique Program in French Capital By ANDREW ROSEMOND. PARIS, March 8.—Last night in the now Grande Salle Pleyel, which is now the largest and finest concert hall in Paris, a capacity audience listened to a different form of concert. The three Bs, Bach, Boettgen and Brahms, and other great composers were absent from the program. The affair was advertised as "an extraordinary creation of folk-songs and modern French works." The concert began with a concert to for 'cello and orchestra of wind instruments (double wind quintette) by Ibert. This was artistically played by Yves Chardon, one of the best young cellists of France. He was the main artist of the evening. He was the second number a group of Nergre Spalda and Gros. The first troble (1) Nobody Knows the Trouble I See; (2) I Know de Lord's Lair His Hands on Me, and (3) sometimes I feel like a Motherless Child, were played as a trio for 'cello, piano and "musical saw" Charles Lewis played the piano in its ensemble. While the 'saw' was well played, there are certain musical limits to title 'instrument' which allows the concert stage. One wishes that the concert would have been omitted, so that Mr. Chardon's musterful playing could have been enjoyed in full. After the third number with the saw, the quartet of the International Five appeared on the stage and were given an ovation. The audience knew the knight as a store for them. After their fifth number they were groomed with thunderous applause. Their program consisted of (1) I Go Shoes; (2) Let "WE'LL ALL TWELFTH ANNUAL Eureka Temple No. 2 NEW STAR CASINO — Friday Evening, MUSIC BY IMPERIAL SERENADE ADMISSION ALHA NOW H THIS BROWN BREV WITH THE 16 BROWNSKY THE MALE AND THE GIRL SANDY BURNS — LILLIAN WEI The Double-Voiced Sess BABY DE LEON — "GEORGE WILTSHIRT VIOLA McCOY SAM MANTAN AMANDA CARMEL MYERS in Extra Midnite Show NEXT WEEK—ENTIRE M CIRCLE With a Menagerie Besides an Augment Also "Land of the Lawler LINCOLN Lenoir Avenue WEEK COMMENCING Lincoln Dramatic and M "GOING With JOHN MASON and WE'LL ALL BE THERE TH ANNUAL BAR Temple No. 22, I.

We then listened to a "Hebridean Suite" for Hawaiian guitar, guitar and cello. Seth Weeks, an artist of the mandolin and guitar, and former president of the Clet Club, New York City was responsible for the composition. He was an admirable performance. The suite is very musical and no doubt will be played often. There are some parts that are reminiscent of Hawaii and other distant islands. The fourth part is called "Prosseconi," which is exceptional beauty and sound. We were repolition with shouts of "bls." Mr. Weeks was forced to accept a singular ovation.

Dr. Hutchins C. Bishop and Father Shelton Hale Bishop officiated. William C. Perry was in charge of the body, which was interred at Wooddawn. Because the deceased was a home-loving type, her body was kept in state at home from Saturday night until Tuesday. Mrs. Abernathy, who was operation on at the hospital on Monday, March 12, had lived in the Bronx for eighteen years. Her family was the first Negro family to move in the Morris avenue apartment house sixteen years ago. The deceased is survived by the following: A husband, William W.

Bruce to open the Hudson Avenue Boys' Club. For years the need of more recreational facilities for boys in the downtown district has been very noticeable, and the equipment of much hard work on the part of a committee that has been working more than a year to bring about this club. This committee consists of R. H. Plapp, the league; Miss E. V. Gorman, Brooklyn Bureau of Charities; Mr. Kavaughan, Nassau Street Boys' Club, and Dr. F. M. Gordon, Brooklyn Federation of Churches and the Brooklyn Council Society. The city Mission Society owns the building. Interest in a boys' club in this district is growing rapidly. One philanthropist who does not contribute to the district has asked to aid this project. He resisted his policy in his letter to the committee, but expressed his interest in this first effort to provide a program that would city and sent his check for $500 for the first year and pledged $250 to the second year's budget. Other donors of such generous contributions are giving smaller sums for the same reason. The opening of this club is regarded by all as the most significant piece of social work started in Brooklyn in the last ten The committee was fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Bruce is director. Before coming to the boys' work secretary at the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. for more than five years.

Whitney Again On Firing Line Whitney Again On Firing Line (Continued from Page 8.) patrons of the Lincoln Theatre at Winston-Salem, the St. Theatre at Atlanta and the Strand in Jacksonville, as well as those of New York City. There is another phase of race show business that Mr. Lowls has perhaps overlooked, which makes it unfair to compare the white and race theatres. White promoters manage managers in certain forms or kinds of entertainment, and each of these theatres has its clientele. Those who like burlesque can go to a burlesque theatre, but it is a same dance, musical like a dance, dance comedy, musical comedy or grand open. We have but one theatre in most of the cities and we are compelled to attempt to please those who want to see different theirs and desires. Mr. Lewis takes his pen in hand, writes thusly: "So long as men like me perish, weprise the main personnel of our team, the one we represent its best thoughts and ideals—it will never catch up with the general progress of the race." He explains that he cannot be familiar with work nor is he acquainted with my ideals. I have chosen to remain poor rather than sacrifice my ideals. I have always written up and not down. Our team is the shamed team. We have shown on the road, I have conducted myself on and off stage in such manner that I count among my friends the very best people the team has ever worked with and good will of the majority of all classes. "Our stage," says Mr. Lewis, "needs new blood, new ideas, new needs, new actors with courage enough to break away from the black-face traditions and the bureague show technique of the Uncle Joe, who have dominated it for twenty years." By all means let us have new ideas, new blood and new ideas. But does Mr. Lewis realize that many young men and women are so many trivial game as at the present time, only one of the old line producers is now active. Whatever the conditions are at the present time, the Lewis speech must take Mr. Lewis the greatest amount of the responsibility. Looking over some of the productions of the new blood. I have wondered from what source they dug up blood, and from what source blood has not used us for the last 25 years. The courage and daring enthusiasm of youth can be matched by wisdom, experience and equality on age. I can believe that the experience of the many complex emotions that affect human natures than intelligent, observant and experienced age. Because a man may be old countenance, but not intelligence, it does not necessarily mean that he cannot be mentally young. Again, a man may be old in point of service, and not be old in years. Because a man may not be old in mentation and in defense of the old timers whose work he displazes. With the exception of Irvin C. Miller, and he has just reached his zenith, the experience not been our strong for the years. Nearly all the shows that Mr. Lewis has seen produced lately in the theatre in New York have been the work of the youngsters in the business. I have spoken. So P. S.—I learn that "Meek Mose" has closed; it was a good entertainment but not a financial success. Where was it left, Lewis? Why did he give the promoters of "Meek Mose" his formula for forcing the show on the public? FREE CONSULTATION Rellable and Reasonable For 20 Years at 531 LENOX AVE.

Best Sport Pages in Greater New York Negotiations On for Celtic-Renaissance Game to Be Played Here Next Month Colored Champions Continue Winning Streak by Defeat ing Johnny Beckman's American League Stars in Harlem Sunday Night (By FRANCIS) Johnny Beckman and his American League stars ran up against the Renaissance team last Sunday night when that team was in an unbeatable frame of mind, and went down to a crushig defeat by the score of 50 to 21. Johnny had with him a team comprising all stellar performers as Bob Grody, Frankle Stuckbury, Roxbury and Lavac, all big-time headliners, and was apparently all primed to give the Renaissance a trimming, but the Douglas quintet got wind of the secret, and decided that they would do a little trimming themselves. Before the start of the game the management announced the death of "Pappy" Ricks' mother, and asked the large crowd to stand in silent respect to her memory while taps was sounded. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to "Pappy" and his family. At the start of the game the Renaissance showed evidence of being in tip-top condition, being fast, alert, and full of pep, and it was not long before they went into a lead that they never relinquished. Everything they did was done perfectly, and the Stars found the Renaissance famous defense so alright and impregnable they could not find a hole to break through. In the meantime every man on the Rens Five was taking advantage of the least opening to score points for his team, and so variegated was the attack that the Stars dared not conceive of the Renaissance, with the result that in the first half Mayors got 4 field goals, and every other man got 2 aplace for a total of 12 baskets. In addition to this they were deadly on their foul tries, getting 7 out of a possible 10 tries. In Roxbury, forwards, for the Stars, were shut out in this half, but Stuckbury, their guard, tossed in a trio from mid-court, but it was the only way baskets could be made against the Renaissance, who led at half-time by the score of 31 to 13. Second half the Renaissance continued their bombardment, and with the same flawless defense the visitors were having a tough time; they nevertheless tightened up on their own defense, and scoring was harder than ever; however, the Rens clicked off 19 more points, represented by field goals and foul, allowing the Stars to score 2 fouls, for a total of 8 points. In this half both Beckman and Roxbury succeeded in curing 1 basket aplace, ending the threatening ignomay of a scoreless night. Saunders outplayed Grody, who is poised to score in big time play. The forward combination of Slocum and Salch left nothing to be desired, and to sum up, the Rens would have beaten and team in the world Sunday night. Near-Sunset Slocum tackled the Bronx Pros, while the Buffaloes will line up against the Majestic in the preliminary game, a pair of games that should give the crowd more than their money's worth. It was announced that the world's champions, Original Celtics, will play the Renaissance at the Casino either April 1 or 8 and possibly both nights. As the Rens have won the only game played so far this year, the Celtics will be out for blood. The Celtics are now engaged in a series of games with the Fort Wayne team of the American basketball League to determine the winner of the championship of the league, dollars to doughnuts that the Celtics will be to open when it is finished, so that the series with the Renaissance is bound to have world's championship significance. In the preliminary game the Meteors defeated the Metro-Diamonds 24 to 19. At half-time the winners led 15 to 2. RENAISSANCE.

Rollo Wilson of the Pittsburgh Counter, was afflicted with writers' cramps a few weeks ago after he caught a midnight roller out from the Pennsylvania station, when the Renaissance Five were resting from the labors of administering one of the best inlays that was ever handed a team from the City of Smoke. I have reference to the route of the Ritz Five, which the Courier had weeks and weeks previous told us composed the last word in basketball." Verily, my good friend, Rollo, crawling into his shell after promising the populace a special opinion on the battle is nothing new to us. We have but to thumb the pages of Time to bring before us memories of the past wherein Pittsburgh always got the best of it from the pen of the genial doctor. Which, if you follow me, does not take away from the fact that he remains the best opinion chronicle of the time. Always when the far-famed doctor strolls down memory lane he conveniently forgets to thread the path which saw the Incorporators making Cumberland Possey and his clan holler for help that memorable night at Manhattan Casino when no less a personage than the zealous "Strangler" Forbes, at the boshest of the writer, bade Pittsburgh to continue despite their claim of two points, which should have gone to the Madden men. The "Strangler" did this and led the Incorporators to a brilliant victory over the Pittsburghians. BEYOND the City of Rome it was never told how in the most hectic moment of their career Pittsburgh grabbed the long since departed timepiece the night the Spartans placed them on the ropes and surprised the world by meeting them at their own game and beating them. Once upon a time the chroniclers of a bygone day used to ask if any of the liner things came out of that dear old Southland of which so many of the brothers write, but to which so many of the sold brothers never seem desolous of returning. The analogy is that out of Pittsburgh came nothing of the appreciation of the fine arts. Theirs was a rough game at all times as victory at any cost was always placed above sportmanship, so that when the rough stuff was pulled it always left us somewhat shocked. Those things were never disclosed to the eyes of readers of the Courier, so why ruminate on the fact that Folio went into his hole and pulled the hole in after him when the Ritz Club received the ritz at the hands of the leading colored team, world champions wherever basketball is played by men of sundown hue. It was Pittsburgh that first started the demoralizing drive that later sent basketball to the discard among our best people, and who would dare assert that our heat failed to turn out with the enthusiasm which gave many of our youngsters of the past the inspiration to do and date on our neutral courts. In this great city all teams were given a square deal, and upon its courts were played the most important games when basketball was the chief indoor sport of Aframericans. But Pittsburgh reached out its slimy hand and drew into its foal man from far and near. Did not our own "Fat" Jenkins, tracing inviccogn, appear in the City of Smoke as "Smith". Like the tentacles of an octopus they reached out and after securing men, developed elsewhere, they dared the world and for a time carried on. But the reaction came and with it the time when the once great Cumberland Posey could not draw a corporal's guard without the sanction of the Holder of the Koys. WE do not deny the polson had reached out and journeyed throughout the body of the entire game. The virus of commercialallam had reared itself like a hydra-headed monster and soon not one of the big clubs in our fair city that did not limp with the effects of the demoralization. Bill Madden had led the revolution that later gave us the famous Incorporated. Under the shadow of that building erected to the late John Hay, at Brown University, we had personally written the contract calling for the appearance of the then popular Fritz Pollard at Manhattan Casino a certain night. St. Christopher, suffering less than her fellows, sought to administer the antidote prescribed by her physicians of the court, but not until they had joined Pollard in that sweat of uncertainty brought about by the hitherto unpublished telegrams that had much to do with the war. Not counting the cost of his dereliction, Pollard ignored those words that burned through the minds of his supporters sailing under the colors of the red and black—those words that went sizzling over the wires on the eve of his appearance at one of the most important athletic meets of the time: "I WILL HOLD YOU TO STRICT ACCOUNTABILITY. YOUR APPEARANCE AT BROOKLYN MEET DOUBTFUL UNLESS Ah, it was Bill Madden using the words of the late Woodrow Wilson and signing the name of this writer to the famous note. THAT gesture had its effect. For we saw the interest of even the Brown Alumni Association aroused and we have every reason to believe that it was St. Christopher that stepped into the breach that sent Pollard to the home of the writer on the morning of the meet, fully prepared to do what had been demanded of him. Just the same, there was no game and another dehacle brought about by commercialism had been written into history. Pittsburgh wrought well when she started basketball on the downward plane. it was too late when the cards were laid on the table and this same writer joined in the crusade to drive out the polson which had taken too good a hold on the system of the game. Nursed and cherished by the pen of W. Rollo Wilson. Smoketown wallowed for years in its questionable triumphs, but when the day of reckoning came and there was a chance for openly meeting on the professional court, we find Pittsburgh out in the cold and the man who suffered most coming to the fore as the most successful in the new state of things. Bob Douglas is today reaping the reward of the sacrifices he made earlier in the game, so friend, if W. Rollo made a promise to tell the world his personal opinion and he failed to keep that promise, let us hark back to the days of the disappearing timepiece to see Rollo sitting within a few feet of the Houdini-like trick, but saying nary a word. It is to laugh, my cronies. E.C.HUTCHINSON'S RECREATION ACADEMY 685 Lenox Ave. --- N.W. Cor. 144th St. EIGHT (8) ALLEYS and TWENTY-FOUR (24) POCKET and CAROM TABLES Tournament Under Way On Monday, March 12, the first game of the Abyssinia Community House basketball championship tournament was played in the gymnasium before a record crowd. The Matteos drew the Mohawks and the preliminary brought together the Blue Ribbons and the Twilights. The Battie-Mohawk thriller began with a bang and furnished innumerable thursdays, keeping the spectators on their feet in the final whistle. Both teams exhibited a brand of fast, hard-played and skillful basketball and furnished one of the best contests of the season. Although the game was bitterly contested, the Matteos got away to win the game, which the plugging Mohawks were unable to overcome during their desperate rally in the second half. The final score was: Baltics, 42; Mohawks, 3. The Night Girls, crippled by the loss of two of their players, were badly treated by the Blue Ribbon Girls. the Ribbons piling up a 15-2 score. Concerd Baptist Cagers Win After dropping two in a row to the Central Presbyterian five, the Concord Baptist colored cagers finally scored over the Presbyterians by 19. In a 145-pound division, Clea A. Hill, 18, scored the Central passors 14 to 13 at the corner of the first session. In the second half B. Harris of Concord got away for six doubles and J. Lane tallied four baskets, enough to win when coupled with the eight fouls made good. The score: CONCORD BAPIST. Goals Fouls Points J. Oliver 4 3 11 Price 0 4 4 Collins 0 0 0 H. Harris 10 2 22 G.

The star bout of the evening, between Lou Moskowitz and Pete Zivic, resulted in a ten round victory for the latter. This, a return engagement Zivic scoring a one round K.

N'S RECREATION SENOR FUGAZY GETTING BUSY Will Present George Godfrey Against Jack Sharkey—Maybe Knuto Hausen, the heavyweight who was careless enough to punch himself right out of the ranks of careful and logical contenders; and the menace of Leipertille, who was too ill be noticed as a contender; Jack Sharkey, the Sobbing Sailor from Beanville, and Roberto Roberti, the Two Bobs of Italy, are those that had early summer plans of Humbert J. Faye. The good sign, of course, has been hibernating. But last week he detected the snow and rain, struggled to a sitting position stretched, and laughed with his fists fast. He celebrated the leasing of Bbbets Field by the state, sent that the Sig. Fugazy heavyweight elimination tournament would open early in May. And at a price of $7.70 and less. The Rickard elimination it will be remembered, was on a $2 scale and the scalpers were selling standing room for $7.70. The first bout will bring together Knute Hansen, who is such a fow middable boy that he is almost starving to death, and Roberto Roberti, who has knocked out 13 of his last 15 matches. Phil Scott. These boys, being rather dangerous customers, are, of course, ineligible for Tex Rickard's tournament. It has been whispered that one was heard to choke on the rope, and the other thereby stamping himself as an unfit opponent for Gans Tanney. In the second bout of the series George Godfrey will tangle with Sharkey, the young man who stuck a pin into the Harry Wills bubble. Jim Dougherty, Godfrey's manager, wired Sig. Fugzy to get the best opponent available for Godfrey for an outdoor hout, and the signer has obliged. Jimmy Johnson, the assistant manager, was a long conference with Fugzy yesterday and promised to sign for Sharkey as soon as the Menace had marked his cross on the dotted line. In making the announcement, Fugzy volunteered that he considered $7.70 quite enough for any heavy-weight fight. The signer had snapped out of his hibernation long enough to be a spectator at those Garden brawls. ALABAMA STATE ON THE DIAMOND Coaches Lockhart and Dunn Rounding Out Promising Group of Players MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 17—The Alabama State Normal baseball team completed its third week of training and the inauguration of coaches G. H. Lockhart and C. Johnson Dunn, who are jointly responsible for the second succession of training out a team which won its first Conference championship in 1987. After having their crack 1927 lineup considerably decimated, Coaches Lockhart and Dunn are about to begin a promising group of youngsters, who will be joined by the veteran, Captain William H. Anderson. Frazier at second, Burns at third and Poole in left field, along with Hardy, Collins. Brown, Lambert and Stone on the mound, are the first team to catch a star catcher in 1926 and 1925 is working out at first base, since William Cooley has been incapacitated by a recent attack of pneumonia. Frank Lewis. Alfonso Campbell.ander Nivens. William Coger. Lamar Livesey. James Tilt. Frank Trimble are leading the field of new aspirants for regular births. A heavy schedule of 22 games, 18 of which will be counted in the Conference race, is the assignment for Tuesday with Selim Oyunlu.

FASHION PROMENADE, 9 O'CLOCK . --- Collegians Hung It on Brooklynites Saturday The N. Y. Collegians, acclaimed king of all amateur basketball tossers in the metropolitan area (conquerors of the N. Y. Boys' Club at Madison Square Garden), returned to the big city last Saturday night with another victory under their belt when they defeated the Carltons. The Collegians drew first blood by tallying three points the first few minutes of play to Carlton's one, that beat by four by numerous fouls by both teams, was very fast and exciting. Carlton seniors, having played only teams of mediocre caliber during the past month, were unable to withstand the fast and clever playing of the New York team. With Stevens and Herndon at forward, Edwards and Thompson at guard and Bartlett at center, the strongest combination possible. Stevens, who is known never to fail, missed several set-up shots that might have upset the done. The Collegian defense was such that neither Stevens nor Hernond could penetrate it for field goals. He could penetrate it for field goals. Thompson, Edwards and Smith, were always on the job, preventing a wholesale delivery of shots under the basket. Eight of the Collegian points were brought from long range and the shifted star center and the shifted star center was a tower of strength in both offensive and defensive play, having held his man, a noted point getter, and at the same time scoring 9 points for the team. The Collegian combination was so evenly matched that it is almost impossible to say just who is the most valuable player. Walker, Collegian star center, who played the last and Lingston left guard, threatened the middle half of the game. 5 and 4 respectively.

Last Monday night Holmes gave Jerry Vitale, crack Boston featherweight, an artistic lacing for five rounds until the latter fouled Connie Holmes, being surely knocked out. Holmes fought a masterly contest. His platinum-like left jab worked to perfection while the timing of his right hand upcrucers to the body never was better. Every time Connie threw his uppercut it always landed Holmes's stomach, which did practically the serious damage to the latter. This is the eighth consecutive victory Holmes has scored in Boston and Promoters Tom Goodwin of the Suffolk A. A. and Eddie Mack of the Argonne A. A. of Boston are making big offers to Red Chapman, Sammy Holmes and Chick Suggs to box Holmes at the Boston Arena at an early date. The fans like Connie's style of battling. He is a willing mixer and always pleases the cash customers and they are the ones to please. Solly Snyder, manager of Holmes, is receiving plenty of offers for the services of his projege. Connie is so keen on a local ringer, or the Olympic Club most likely soon. His numerous friends are pleased to read of his success and would turn out strong when he makes his home appearance. Georgia Ball a Success One of the largest crowds of the season attended the Million Dollar Ball of the Uited Sons of Georgia last Thursday night at Manhattan Casino. Too much cannot be said in praise of the splendid work of the arrangement committee, whose efforts were the crowning success of the achievements of the organization. The hall, packed to the doors, was a scene of enjoyment from the opening dance number until Home Sweet Home was played. The News takes this opportunity to criticize for the error in the date which appeared in the article concerning the dance last week.

D., in a fairly exciting 14-round bout at the Garden last Friday night. He was the first to running as a local and Flowers scored a clean-out victory, although his margin of superiority did not justify the odds of 2 to 1 in his favor. Except for a lively rally in Pasadena, Flowers and Panay turned in his usual bout, cutting loose with all he had in the last minute of nearly every round. Petrolle twice got in his dynamic right with enough force to shake up Flowers, but failed to follow up on occasion and Bruce fought his way out of the hot spot on the second. The first two rounds were dull ones with the mulling even. The third, fourth and fifth weren't rlots by any moans, but Flowers forged to the front in those sessions. Midway in the sixth Petroleum landed a wicked left on the stomach and squeezed on the upholst right the law that left Flowers quite wooxy. Billy was slow to press his advantage, however, and Flowers smiled at him tantalizingly at the bell. Flowers outboxed Petrolle to take the seventh, but the Fargo battler came back in the eighth. Billy got over another right that hurt Prince. He was hit by a clous, two-fisted attack that instead the remainder of the period and earned him the round. The teeth was Flowers' by the proverbial mile. Majestics Cop Two More The Majesties added two more victories to their long string by defeating the Elldorff Chapel five and the Orientalists of New Rochelle. In the game, the Elldorff Chapel chicks on Wednesday night the Orientalists ran up the season's high score by winning 91-12. With five minutes left to play, the losers walked off the court. Carter and Eldridge ran wild, scoring 30 and 28 points respectively. On Saturday the Majesties, minus the Orientalists, defeated the Orientalists by the score of 24-17. Carter and Burnell starred for the victors. At half time the score was tied at 10 all, but the Majesties put on a spurt during the second half and were never headed HAMPTON (NSTITUTE). Va. March 16.—Hampton Institute will hold the seventh annual intercollege track and field meet on Armstrong Field Saturday, May 12. The meet is sanctioned by the C. I. A. A. and bids fair to be the largest one yet held a. Last year the meet was 150 athletes, making sixteen colleges and high schools, participated in the meet. Each year some records are lowered, which shows the steady development in this department of athletics. Already some of the institutions are said to have athletics training. The meeting, the oxiting C. I. A. A. records, both in the collegiate and high school divisions. The Madame Walker collegiate mile relay trophy, for which schools have been competing during the past three years, was won last year by the permanent property of Hampton International this year Robert S. Abbott, Ilampton '96, editor and owner of the Chicago Defender, will give a three year trophy for the national collegiate mile relay, to be known as the Hampton Trophy. This trophy is given under the same conditions as the Madame Walker Trophy, that is, it becomes the permanent property of the first institution winning it three times. Mr. Abbott is giving the mile relay trophy instead of the Defender 400 which he has given for several years. A trophy is to be given this year for the first time, for the half mile to be known as the William S. Parker mile. He is the only one under the following conditions: the trophy is won twice by the same individual it becomes the permanent property of the individual winning it. If it is only won once it is given to the man in position which the man represents. Dr. Parkar, Hampton '15, makes this offer in the hope of developing more half-mile runners. He was himself a half-miler and holds the half-mile records in the field of two kilometers and one second. The Frank Young national high school one-mile relay trophy will be given again this year by Mr. Young. The Frank Young national high school mile relay cup will be competed again this year. Manassas has won two legs on this cup and if she who it again this year it becomes the permanent property of that institution. The Frank Young national high school by the Southern Aid Society of Virginia for the medley relay. This trophy is to be competed for annually until it is won three times by some institution, when it becomes the property of the triple-winner trophy. There will be three new events this year: A medley relay consisting of a half mile, a 440 and two 220 s, for the college division, and the two-pound shot and the mile additions for the high school division. The events are as follows: Colelegate Division—100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 850-yard run, mile run, mile run, 120-yard run, mile run, mile run, 120-yard run, shot put, javelin throw, brunch jump, high jump, pole vault, discuss shurpe, mile relay and medley relay; in the scholastic division—120-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 550-yard run, mile run, 120-yard low jump, pole vault, shot put, Frank Young mile relay and Virginia jump.

As the years A Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD ' The Duties of the Wedding Guest UE guests at a wedding ceremony and reception should have # correct idea of the part they are to play before, at the time of and after the wedding. There are guests who carry out their duties to the delightful satisfaction of the bride, while there are others whose curiosity forges their good nature into utter embarrassment. Various weddings have various designs, But formal weddings are usually out lined from the same delineation. With the exception of a few personal variations, guests are placed under the same ob- qe atee Wedding invitations are usually sent out two weeks bofore the day fixed for the ceremony. Tho hos- teas (who favites) requests the groom to furnish her with two Hsts of names—one list of those whom he wishes to be present to witness the ceremony and another st of those whom he would like to see at the reception only. These, with similar lista of the dride’s frlends, make up the number of guests to be invited. When the clrele of acquaintances is very large and Invitations must be lim- {ted to a certain number, an- nouncement carils are sent to oth- ers. The invitation, unless {t includes A#-breaxfast, dinner, or is limited in number. requires no reply; 2 card sent afterwards 1s al) that ts necessary, This card {3 addross- ed to the ones In whose name the Invitation or announcement was sent out, usually the parents of tho bride, But the wedding congratu- Jation ts sent to the bride or the bride and groom. The congratuln- tory note to the bride is always in order among intimate friends, but this bears no relation to a re- sponse to the invitation, An old-fashtoned cnstom was for a bride-elect to seclude herself at- ter the wedding invitations had heon tesued. That'is passe, for nowadays guésts are privileged to entertain the bride as often and as elaborately as they wish. Dinners, thertre parties, showers, elc., may be given in her honor up to the very day of the wedding. Tha same is true of the groom—his friends are permitted to give him bachelor dinners, etc. Wedding presents should he sent to the home of the bride be- fore the wedding. A gnest is not expected to present: presents to the’ bride at begs dding or to carry them to Beeches where the wedding ts being held, The gifts should be chosen with due reference to the circumstances of the bride, For the daughter of wealthy parents, who weds a hus- band of wealth. and to whom all desirable useful things are as- ured. articles of fine taste and be- wildering creations in the wav of costiv fancy articles are suitable wedding gifts. For a quiet, de- mure {ttle bride who is going housekeeping on a moderate in- roll on, he'll think of her as only one of many. Should Cousins Marry? Dear Madam: Tam a young man of 23.

Calder, in an address at the Grace Congregational Church last Sunday evening, said that the race problem in America would be solved if the Negro would leave the South. "If we could talk all the Negroes from the South," said Sonator Calder, "and bring them North, it would put an end to the race problem in this country. The coming of the Negro to the larger cities of the North from the South has done more to contribute to the progress of the Negro than any other." The meeting was held in honor of the fifth anniversary of the Grace Congregational Church, Dr. George E. Haynes presided. A history of the church was given by James T. Payne, one of the trustees. Brief addresses were made by Adderman Fred R. Moore and Edgar M. Parks, a trustee. Music was furnished by the Grace Church choir under the direction of Miss Olive Jeter. The Grace Church was startled by the death of C. Carner, present pastor, by years with a membership of less than one hundred. Today the church has a membership of 600.

Wednesday, March 21, 1928 A Negro for Congress THIS NOVEMBER the Twenty-first Congressional district, which embraces Harlem, will elect a man to Congress. That man should be a Negro. There is no need to be discouraged over the 1924 campaign, in which Dr. Charles Roberts, the Negro Republican candidate, was defeated by Royall H. Weller. People have said that it is useless to nominate a Negro because the white Republicans of Washington Heights will split the ticket against him. But the figures of the last two Congressional campaigns show that if the Negroes bring their full political power to bear they can elect a Negro to Congress. IN 1924 Royall H. Weller, Democrat, received 43,792 votes; Dr. Charles Roberts, Negro Republican, received 35,900. Weller's major was 7,892. A change of 3,947 votes would have elected Roberts, who received 44 per cent of the votes cast. In 1926 Weller received 38,027 votes and Emanuel Hertz, white Republican, received 29,651 votes. Weller's majority was 8,376, Hertz receiving 43 per cent of the votes cast. A change of 4,189 would have elected Hertz. BOTH IN NUMBERS and percentage Roberts polled a greater vote than Hertz, and this in spite of the failure of the Negroes to use their full voting strength. Roberts' vote, 35,900 does not represent the voting power of the 200,000 Negroes in Harlem. They should poll at least 50,000 votes, which would be more than enough to elect their candidate. In 1924 they could have done it with 44,000. As The Amsterdam News has said time and again, Harlem's lack of representation in the legislature, on the bench, and in Congress is due to the people's failure to marshal their full vote. MUCH DEPENDS, of course, upon the man selected for the candidacy. The Amsterdam News would suggest a man of the calibre of James Weldon Johnson. Johnson is a man of culture and standing, who has made his mark in public affairs. He is not only known in the literary world as a poet and novelist; he has been a United States consul. He rendered a great service to his race by his work in Haiti. Traveling as secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People he is familiar with the condition and the needs of the Negro in all parts of the United States. In his endeavor to secure legislation for the improvement of the Negro he has dealt with Congress for years and probably knows more about the workings of that body than any other Negro. Not only for New York, but for all the Negroes of the country. The Amsterdam News believes him to be the man best fitted for the candidacy. EDITORIAL PAGE A Demagogue's Mind COLE BLEASE of South Carolina is much perturbed by the report of the dinner given to Oswald Garrison Villard in Washington at the hotel where Senator Blease lives. Four Senators attended the dinner and ate with the Negro guests. One of them was Senator Walsh, who has been mentioned for the Democratic Presidential nomination, and Senator Blease is horrified at the prospect of a President who has eaten with Negroes. He fears that such a President would try to make Southern white people eat with Negroes. NOR is this his only fear. He has introduced in the Senate a bill for Jim-Crow street cars in Washington, alleging that it will prevent serious trouble in the future. He sees someone being killed as the result of a Negro's discourtesy or unwelcome attention to a white female passenger. He goes on to tell what a friend he is to the Negro. THE WORKINGS of a demagogue's mind were never more plainly exhibited. Ever since trolley cars were invented the colored and the white people of Washington have ridden together without a suspicion of trouble. Blease cannot endure the sight, so he plays the Southern trump and conjures up a picture of white womanhood in danger. Pretending that he is trying to prevent a racial clash, he does his utmost to bring it about. As for the proximity of races, does he know that George Washington slept with a colored man? Is he sure that Cole Blease has never done it? Greatest Living Negro THE INQUIRING PHOTOGRAPHER of The Daily News is evidently a wonderful diplomat. He stops men and women on the street anywhere and any time and never gets knocked on the head for it. Recently he came to Harlem and asked six people whom they considered the greatest living man of the Negro race. Two chose Max Yergan and the others chose Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Anthony Overton, Mordecai Johnson and George W. Carver of Tuskegee. WE WONDER how many of them would have answered as they did if they had had time to think it over. When you are hurrying about your business it is not easy to stop and give a reasoned answer to a sudden and unexpected question. All considered, the answers given above are creditable. Buckle Down! THE AMSTERDAM NEWS congratulates John T. Haitstalk, the elevator man who took to painting and sold his first picture at the Russell galleries. After congratulating him the kindest thing to do is to warn him. In art, business and every field of human endeavor experience has shown the danger of immediate success. THE WRITER who sells his first story, the soldier who wins his first battle, the lawyer who gains a brilliant victory in his first case, are seldom found among the topnotchers in the long run. Having attained at one leap the laurels for which others have striven for years, they do not feel that they have to work as hard as others. Mr. Haitstalk may escape their fate if he will regard himself as a beginner and buckles down to serious study. DURING the past few years we have witnessed an intensity of interest in constitutional questions. Beginning with the closing decade of the nineteenth century and the rise of the newer industrialism, the Civil War Amendments began to wane in public interest. The North made up its mind not to jeopardize its economic program by insistence upon enforcement of the rights of the Negro. The South had adopted revised constitutions and other effective means of nullifying the purpose of those amendments to place the black man on an equal political footing with the white man. The public mind had become adjusted to this state of things. Condonation of the violation was the order of the day. One can but faintly recall the days when Congressman Crumpacker used to insist upon the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment, to the disgust of his Republican colleagues. It did look as if the Civil War Amendments were doomed to be forever ignored by common consent IN A CERTAIN community there are eighty-five chain stores. They do a yearly business of $4,000,000, all coming from residents of the community. But in all these stores only twelve residents of the community are employed. It reads like a fairy tale, but it is too true. THAT COMMUNITY IS HARLEM. The Negro League for Equal Political and Civic Rights produced the foregoing figures after an investigation of Harlem from 124th to 145th streets. How long are the people of Harlem going to stand for such a condition? It couldn't happen anywhere else on earth. Four million dollars going out and nothing coming in! The people should realize that they hold the fate of these stores in their hands. If the mer- But less than a decade ago the Eighteenth Amendment was added to the Constitution. It so happened that the South was in favor of upholding this amendment while the North, in most part, was unfriendly or indifferent. This precipitated a sectional issue. In this instance the South was on the side of the Constitution and the law, while the North was aligned otherwise. Here we saw a strange transposition of positions. The traditional traduers of the Constitution became its defenders, accustomed upholders became its violators and despoilers. The South began to hurl the opprobulous epithets at the North for disregarding the fundamental law of the land. In retaliation the North rejoined that the South disregarded the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. It is a battle of numbers, fourteen and fifteen against eighteen. It is an anthony war. The issues on both sides grow out of violation of fundamental law. Neither side has any firm intention to uphold and obey the Constitution as a whole. Each vindicates against the contention of the other the wisdom or folly of enforcing the Constitution by parts. The presidential campaign is on. "The drys" are playing up their patriotic devotion to the Constitution for all that it is worth against the unpatriotic attitude of the opponent. Two great speeches have been delivered on the floors of Congress. Both speeches put forward the Civil War Amendments against the background of the prohibition issue. Senator Swanson, of Virginia, has given a careful and passionate analysis of the South's attitude on the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. He takes the position that the South, in the revised constitutions, does not violate the Federal Constitution. He argues with great plausibility that if these constitutions run afoul of the Federal Constitution, the Supreme Court stands ready to declare their provisions nugatory and void. Such a broad-gauged constitutional constructionist as Senator Dorah is fully convinced that Senator Swanson is right. He does not believe that these South- Library Notes From now on the hours of the Division of Negro Literature and History, on the third floor of the 153th street branch of the Public Library, will he from 1 to 9 p.m. daily, except Sundays and holidays, instead of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

L. - "Congarge Keep Away! --- ern constitutions violate the Civil War Amendments on the face of the instruments. But even if we grant Senator Swanson's contention as approved by Senator Borah, the deeper issue is merely shifted from the face of these constitutions to the deeper fact behind the face. The spirit counts for more than the letter. I do not think that Senator Swanson would want to go on record as believing that these laws are construed and enforced with fairness and impartiality between the races. Senator Swanson becomes wholly illogical when he pledges that the South does not violate the Fourteenth Amendment, as such. The law clearly declares that any state which limits right of franchise, which it has a perfect right to do upon any basis except race and sex, shall have its representation in Congress reduced. No one can blame Mississippi for not reducing its own representation. This state, like the rest, will go on forever with limited suffrage and unimpaired representation, unless the Federal government performs its definitely stipulated duty to effect the reduction. This duty devolves upon Congress and not upon the states. Indeed, this is not a race question. Massachusetts limits the franchise on account of intelligence. It is the plain duty of Congress to bring about reduction of representation in Massachusetts as much as in Mississippi. So far as curtailment is concerned, the Constitution is clearly violated not by the South, but by the Federal Congress. Will it now enforce a law that has been so long disregarded in the spirit of racial fairness or of sectional retaliation? Congressman Tinkham of Massachusetts took up the challenge of the Fourteenth Amendment where Crumpacker left off. Neither seemed to make any profound impression upon his party or upon the country. Tinkham's speech in the House is more than a complete answer to Swanson's deliverance in the Senate. He has answered for all time the conten- Sketches"; stories of Negro life in South Carolina.

E. -Kelly Miller- tion that the South does not violate the Fifteenth Amendment. I am sure that Senator Borah will be convinced after a careful perusal of the address of the able Massachusetts Congressman. But Congressman Thinkham's speech fell on dull ears, in so far as it fell upon any ears at all. He is undoubtedly in carousel, but his party is not. This discussion is being exploited only as a play to checkmate the enemy's position on prohibition. There is nowhere discernible any serious intention of effective action. I predict that the Republicans' managers are getting ready to repeat the age old political shell games on the credulous and durable Negro. The Tinkham address will be reprinted and scattered by the hundreds of thousands among Negro voters in order to hold them in line against the encroachment of the Democratic rivals. "See here what the Democratic South is doing against the political welfare of your race. How can any intelligent and self-respecting Negro fall to vote for the Republican party?" The pleas on the face seem plausible, but unless the Grand Old Party has a firm intention to remedy the condition disclosed, what is the concrete advantage to the Negro to be everlastingly reminded of them? Within the past few years thirty million dollars have been devoted to some sort of attempt to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment. Would it not be well for our Negro political leaders to propose a little questionnaire to all candidates for the presidency and indeed for both houses of Congress? I suggest a questionnaire of this purport: "If elected, will you take any definite steps towards the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth as you will to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment?" of the library from 1 to 9 p. m.

Harper & Bros. $2.00 WHEN "Nigger Heaven" was published the bells of indignation were rung in Harlem. It was damned for its unreality, but mostly for its pornography. Now a Negro has written a novel of Harlem as pornographic as "Nigger Heaven," yet it has not provoked the anger that greeted Van Vechten's book. This is not because the author is a Negro; if a Negro had written "Nigger Heaven" he would have been more warmly cursed than Van Vechten was. It is because of a different slant. Both books need a good scrubbing, but "Nigger Heaven" is dirt for dirt's sake and "Home to Harlem" is dirt for art's sake. This is not to say that "Home to Harlem" is primarily a work of pornography, any more than "Opeadipus Rex," or the novels of Knut Hamsun, with their abundance of sexual adventure. The question comes up because pornography was the first thing some critics saw, and it should be cleared away before discussing the real merit of the book. Isn't it wonderful that some of the critics who found nothing objectionable in the depravity of "Nigger Heaven" are shocked at the rough frakness of "Home to Harlem"? This book is comparatively infensive, because lewdness is not delicately dragged in; it arises as spontaneously as the incidents on a poultry farm. "Home to Harlem" is the picture of a typical Negro roustabout against the colorful background of low-down Harlem. Taking him as he is, the story rings true in every line. Full of the gusto of living and loving, he is, as one of the characters in the book calls him, just "a crazy ram goal." His rollicking nature comes out when he says: "I can't got a cent to my name, but Ahm happy as a prince, just the same." But at heart he is a man. When a white man tells him he is scabbing he replies: "I can't no white folks' nigger and I can't no pooh white's fool." He doesn't hate white people; he merely sees them realistically. There is no plot to this story; the author had the artistry to see that it was better without one. A story with a plot requires a thinking animal, and Jake Brown is not of that species. He is no baiter against fate or man or woman; he takes life as it comes and then forgets it; his unplanned changes of residence and occupation are simple reactions or revolutions. His story, as presented, has no definite beginning or ending. Jake, having joined the army for a shot at the Germans, deserts because he is not given a chance to fight. He makes his way to London, but soon gets homesick for Harlem. He ships as a stoker on a dirty freighter with a jousy crew, but he doesn't care so long as the ship is bound for Harlem. "Nip me all you wanta, Mister Louse, Roll on. Master Ship, and stinks all the way as you rolls. Jest take me 'long to Harlem is all I pray.' He reaches Harlem and, after a night with a sweet-brown, who rather incredibly returns the fifty dollars he gives her, he sets out for adventure and meets it all the way. Tall, muscular and highly charged with sex appeal, he meets and enjoys one woman after another. Some of them try to make him a pimp, but underneath his craziness Jake is a man. "I always works," he tells them. As nothing in his life is reasoned, his aversion to pimping is instinctive; he wants to feel free. He doesn't mind living with a woman, but living on her money is another matter. He is far from a brute; when he has been goaded into slapping a woman he is ashamed of it; and his discovery that she loves him Itinerary of Hampton European Tour Announced HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va. March 19.—Detailed announcement of the itinerary of the Hampton tour to Europe, which sails June 16 on the steamship 'Resolute,' has recently been made by A. Ogden Porter, director of the tour and instructor of history in the college at Hampton Institute The party will sail from New York, arriving at Southampton on June 24 and proceeding the same day to London. During the five days scheduled for London, trips to Oxford, or, if preferred, to the Shakespeare country, including Warwick, Kenilworth, and Stratford-on-Avon, will be arranged; then Amsterdam, the Isle of Marken, and the canals of Holland for two days; Brussels, Amens, and Rouen (the most interesting town in Normandy), with cathedrals, museums and palaces, will hold the party for six days. From July 11-20 the party will reside in Paris. The comprehensive sightseeing program of the first day in the city will give the party a bird's-eye view of points of historic interest before the conducted trips of succeeding days. The battlefields, Belleau Wood, Chateau-Thierry and Epaux will be visited by motor, the return trip made by way of the Valley of the Marne. There will be several free days in Paris when no prearranged program will be carried out, leaving ample time to the individual for shopping, theatre going, or other diversion. Miss Lizzie A. Jenkins, district home-demonstration agent, U. S. Department of Agriculture, will act as counsellor of women. Although the trip is primarily for teachers, others similarly qualified will be admitted on application to the director. HARLEM Harper & Bros. $2.00 was published the bells of in- Harlem.

It is such strokes as this that make "Home to Harlem" a more artistic work than the much-talked-of "Nigger Heaven," which is a monotone of decadence. McKay is a poet as well as a novelist, he knows that no true picture is all light or all shadow, and that human nature abounds in paradoxes. He shows us Gin-Head Susy of Brooklyn, who keeps pimp after pimp, but gravely deplores the immorality of Harlem; Miss Curdy, who sneers at "dickties" and yet brags of her acquaintance with them; a Pullman chef, mean as a rhinoceros but honest as a saint; a fine-souled Haitian dreamer, not coarse enough for his surroundings and not strong enough to rise above them; a pimp named Jerco, who kills himself for love; an invert who is capable of disinterested friendship. And amid them all swaggers the magnetic Make Jack, outwardly vulgar but inwardly decent, greedy for pleasure but never nasty, always working for his living, a fellow who ten years later will be a steady, home-and-family man. If the hero of the story is Jake Brown, the heroine is Harlem—untamed Harlem. It is the Harlem of pleasure, of abandon, lying like a full-blown Circe between the river and the heights, calling black men from the ends of the earth to her torrid arms to crush the weak and caress the strong; a slave to him who masters her and death to him who falls. Through all the pace and movement of the book we hear her pagan song, burning into crescendo at the cabarets, dying off into the hurried whispers of passion, burning with swift loves and flashing hates. It took a poet to capture her rhythm, and Claude McKay is the poet. His story is the best novel of Harlem ever written. MUSIC Jacob Lowe's Recital A select gathering of music lovers, numbering about 200, were assembled in the Elke's auditorium Sunday afternoon when Jacob Lowe, the Chicago baritone, made his debut before an eastern audience. Of Mr. Lowe it may be said that he is a singer with a distinctive stage presence, the possessor of several good tones and a fairly cultivated sense of rhythm. His two best numbers of the afternoon were Dett's "Somebody is Knocking at Your Door" and his opening number, "El Canto Del Torreador." Mrs. Grace Dunlap Sevier proved herself an efficient accompanist during Mr. Lowe's recital. In the execution of her solo number, Rachmaninoff's "Pollokinella," she exhibited technique of a high quality. David Auld, the youthful violinist, also contributed four numbers to the program. His work was rather creditable in view of the fact that he has been studying only five years. Miss Sinkford in the South Miss Elizabeth Sinkford, lyric soprano, who is studying here this season, has gone South on a concert tour. She was heard last Thursday in the chapel at Bennett College for Women, Greensboro, N. C. While here, Miss Sinkford lives at the International House, 500 Riverside drive. THE POETS' CORNER Poems submitted for publication in "The Poet's Corner" will not be returned unless accompanied with a self-addressed and stamped envelope. "Who Wears Grief Long" WHO wears grief long will one day find The thing has grown into his being. Fibre of grief so intertwined With his, that henceforth, all unseeing. Incurulous and undealing. With memories for daily wine and bread. He goes his way, no more requiring. Take grief away, the man falls dead. —HARRIET CATE (In Poetry) AUBREY BOWSER 一
