Harlem witnessed, surely, its largest and most colorful wedding of the season Monday afternoon when Miss Nina Yolande DuBois, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. E. B. DuBois, became the bride of Countee Cullen, poet son of the Rev. and Mrs. F. A. Cullen, at Salem M. E. Church, 129th street and Seventh avenue. The groom's father and the Rev. George Frazier Miller, of Brooklyn, officiated. As early as 3:30 o'clock some interested spectators arrived at the church, in an effort to be on time and to get choice seats for the 6 o'clock wedding. It soon became necessary to lock the doors of the church, and to have police reserves from the Fourteenth Precinct station guard the doors and hold back the crowd. Those earliest to arrive, however, were not those holding personal invitations, in which had been enclosed neatly engraved cards bearing the words, "Admit within the ribbons at the church." Although 3,000 people were comfortably seated in the spacious church, it is said by some who were not admitted that an equally large number were kept outside by the police reserves. Before the wedding ceremony commenced no one was permitted to stand. Thus, in this spacious church, crowded though it was, the aisles of the main auditorium and the balcony were kept open. Church Decorations At 5:30 the doors of the church were officially opened. Those first admitted had ample time in which to observe the church decorations. Baskets of mixed flowers and cages of squary birds were hung on the balcony railing. At the altar were tall green palms, ferns, calla and Easter lilies, roses and tulips. From the ceiling, and directly over the altar, was a white dove suspended from a cord. The Mothera Arrive Mrs. Cullen, the kroom's mother, entered the church at 6:15. She was escorted by Noah D. Thompson, business manager of Opportunity Magazine. Mr. Thompson's son, Noah Murphy, of the Baltimore Afro-American; Mrs. William H. Holland and Miss Hallie Mitchell are the others who sat in her pew. Mrs. Cullen wore a maize georgette gown trimmed with gold beads and embroidery. A rose colored Spanish shawl was thrown effectively around her shoulders. She carried a bouquet of American Beauty roses. Mrs. DuBols, mother of the bride.

The car swerved and mounted the curb in front of 138 West 143d street, ploughing through a group of children, who scattered in a panic. However, six-year-old Jacqueline Phillips of No. 138 was plinned to the fence in front of her house and head crushed. She died, Mrs. Corena Williams, 153 West 143d street, and another woman were knocked down, Mrs. Williams sustaining cuts on the legs and arms. The other woman disappeared in the crowd, and so did the dog after it had menaced the crowd which gathered around Jones' machine with threats of violence. Patrolman Gielselman of the West 185th street station rushed to the scene with his gun drawn and held the crowd at bay until the arrival of police reserves. Jones was arrested and charged with homicide.

"Muddy Waters" Author May Write "Alimony Blues" in Seclusion of Jail "Fats" Waller, Director of "Keep Shufflin'" Orchestra Sought for Failure to Keep Up Payments to His Abandoned Wife The "Muddy Waters" on the domestic sea of Thomas "Fats" Waller, jazz organist and orchestra director in the Broadway show "Keep Shufflin'," have been greatly agitated, it was revealed last week in Bronx County Court, where he was arraigned before Judge Cohn for his alleged failure to keep up alimony payments of $30 a week for the support of his wife, Edith Waller, and their five-year-old son, living at 1006 Brook avenue, the Bronx. Waller was arraigned under the terms of a suspended sentence imposed when he pleaded guilty to abandonment in the same court in April, 1927, at which time Mrs. Waller had "Fats" brought back from Chicago, where he was organist in a theatre. Julia Alice Galney, white, in charge of the abandonment bureau in the district attorney's office, informed Judge Cohn that Waller had been brought to court three times since he was paroled last year on the abandonment charge. The writer of the popular song, "Muddy Waters," was arrested by Detective Gruber of the Alexander avenue station, Tuesday night, immediately after the performance at Daly's Sixty-third Street Theatre, and arraigned in court the next morning after explaining that he was needed to direct his orchestra. He is quoted as saying that his reason for failing to make payments to his wife was for lack of funds. His wife denies this, saying that he has a sufficient income from royalties on songs and a salary to enable him to pay. In releasing Waller last week, Judge Cohn threatened to send him to jail if he did not keep up his payments in the future. On Monday he was to have turned over $400 to the probation bureau, it is reported, but he failed to show up at all. The probation bureau announced Monday that "Fats" may be arrested on a bench warrant and held without ball for inquiry. Malfeasance Charged To Elk Exalted Ruler At the last meeting of Imperial Lodge No. 127, I. B, P, O. E. of W., a sensation was created when charges of malfeasance in office was brought against Thomas H. Brown, former exalted ruler of the lodge. The charges were based on an alleged shortage of about $800 in the accounts of the former secretary, Charles M. Hanson, and because he signed the checks covering these alleged shortages, Brown will be asked to explain. Charges alleging shortage were also preferred against Charles Payne. Both charges were signed by the new secretary and two additional members. Alleged Fugitive Taken Charged with being a fugitive from Charleston, S.

C., April 9. —(PNS)—Fayetteville officers went to Statesville Saturday to bring back two white men apprehended there, who it is alleged held up and robbed M. L. Levy and Ray Manuel, taxi drivers. The robbers took Levy's machine and made away with it. According to Levy the white men asked him to drive them to Raleigh and several miles out from Fayetteville the men drew a revolver and made him drive into the woods, where he and Manuel were tied to a tree. Manuel worked himself loose in a short time and then released Levy.

Settled Claims for His Clients and Kept All Cash in "Fifty-Fifty" Agreement, Several Witnesses Charge Used Negro Runners in Harlem Several prominent Harlem physicians, it is reported, were subpoenaed early last week for questioning in the ambulance chasing inquiry now being conducted by Isadore J. Kresel, white, chief counsel, before Mr. Justice Wasservogel in Supreme Court, where Attorney Abraham Oberstein, white, 119 Nassau street, was placed under arrest on a bench, warrant, being accused of settling accident claims with insurance companies for his clients and pocketing the money through forgery and fraud. Oberstein resigned from the bar immediately. Oberstein's method of operation, it is alleged, was to make an agreement with a client to settle an accident claim on a fifty-fifty basis. Unless the client insisted upon a payment Oberstein would himself settle the claim and keep all the money, and if he was forced to pay he would give his clients only a small fraction of the amount they were honestly due, it is said. The dead body of Thomas Jones, 52, 304 West 143d street, was found Easter morning in the hallway of 293 West 142d street. A policeman summoned Dr. Zimmerman from Columbus Hospital and he announced that Jones had died from a stab wound in the back. Detectives Boyden and Winterhalter of the West 135th street station later arrested Jeff Reid, 27, at his home at 2735 Eighth avenue, and charged him with the crime. Reid told the detectives, it is reported, that he had gotten in a fight with Jones and that Jones met his death when he fell down a flight of stairs. He denied stabbing him. On Monday Reid was arraigned in Homelife Court and held without bail for trial. COMMISSIONER WARREN TO HEAR SQUAD ACCUSED Police Commissioner Joseph A. Warren will hear charges of brutality and unlawful entry made by Francis D. Jones, 227 West 137th street, against Inspector Valentine's "Flying Squad" which made a "numbers" raid on his home on March 24, tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at Police Headquarters. CORRECTIONS Olive White Norman, lyric soprano, has been appearing in local concerts since 1929, not 1916, as announced last week. She is also a graduate of the Conservatory of Southern California and has studied her French scores under the same instructor who In this manner many Negroes of Harlem lost thousands of dollars during the past ten years. But all the business did not go to Oberstein, who now has less than 76 cases on court calendars, as against 300 or 400 in 1927 and double that number in 1916. Attorney Samuel R. Robinson white, 291 Broadway, is said to have gotten more "accident business" from Harlem Negroes than Oberstein. At press time Attorney Robinson had not yet been called for questioning. Negro lawyers of Harlem are not unhappy over the developments in the inquiry, as they are said to feel not at all kindly toward their brothers in the medical profession who are said to have given all the "accident business" to the white lawyers. Doctors Godfrey Nurse, 185 West 135th street; Theodore F. Reid, 211 West 138th street; Thomas D. Profitt, 103 West 138th street; P. M. H. Savory, 119 West 131st street; E. E. Rawlins, 8 West 180th street; D. Ivinson Hoage, 241 West 138th street; H. M. Griffin, 109 West 132d street; Wiley M. Wilson, 2362 Seventh avenue, and Joseph W. Saunders, 55 West 129th street, whose address was written as 62 West 129th street, were all summoned for questioning on Friday in connection with the inquiry. In the past ten years over 200 Harlem Negroes are said to have lost large amounts of cash through this alleged swindle. Half of this number were never paid their claims and the other half received only a fraction of what they should have been paid, it is reported. Said to be a runner for Oberstein the Rev. Ben Johnson, pastor of Beulah Baptist Church, 24 West 133d street, was placed on the witness stand and Attorney Kresel succeeded in obtaining from him what was tantamount to a confession that he had received personal checks for obtaining clients in accident cases for Oberstein and other white lawyers, among whom were Joseph Jeroma, Goldstein and Goldstein and Max Steuer (not the famous Max D. Steuer). Another runner for Oborstein is said to be the fiv. M. Baxter, 'longshoreman-preacher, who was ordered out of the Seventh District Court some time ago by a Harlom Negro lawyer when he (Baxter) is said to have insisted upon calling himself a representative of Oborstein for the lawyer's silent GA. POSTMASTER'S ACCOUNTS SHORT Ben Davis, Republican National Committeeman, Denies Charges Ben Davis, Republican National Committeeman, Denies Charges Political Boss of Georgia Says Shortage in White Postmaster's Accounts and Not Forced Contributions Were Back of Murder and Suicide ATLANTA, Ga., April 9.—Theft of postal funds and not forced contributions to the Republican party in Georgia is given as the motive for the suicide of L. S. Peterson, white, Democratic postmaster at Douglas, Ga., by Benjamin Jefferson Davis, Republican National Committeeman for Georgia. Immediately after he had been removed from Office, Peterson shot and killed one of his clerks, Elton Kirkland, and committed suicide. At the inquest a letter addressed to his brother, J. H. Peterson, charged that enacted donations to the Republican party had driven him into debt. An unsigned letter, supposed to have been found in Peterson's pocket, directed him to send money to R. H. Johnson, postmaster at Cella, Ga., to be forwarded to Mr. Davis. This letter was dated Sept. 27, 1027. QUEEN ESTHER CHAPTER NO.19, I. P. O. MOOSE, VICTORIOUS Lelia T. Mann's Complaint Against Carrie Brooks Dismissed—Case Thrown Out of Court Queen Esther Chapter No. 19, Independent Protective Order of Moose, headed by Rebecca Harden Ridley, gained a sweeping victory over Queen Esther Chapter of Independent Henovolent and Protective Order of Moose, headed by Lola Lolita. Mrs. Ridley, whom Justice David C. Lewis requested a decision in their favor, dismissing the complaint on the merits and giving judgment for the defendant, Mrs. Brooks. Mrs. Mann brought suit against Mrs. Brooks, Treasurer of Mrs. Ridley's faction, for alleged conversion of $306.61, part of the sum deposited by her as treasurer in the Empire Savings Bank before the factional fight began. Thomas L. Higgins, attorney for Mrs. Mann, vigorously attempted to arrest her for payment were not made, but in spite of all his efforts, Mrs. Mann behead Whisley, of 206 Broadway, attorney for Mrs. Branks, his complaint was dismissed on the merits. Not one witness was put on the witness stand, and no one was held in hand. Whisley says to dignify the charges by subjecting her client to any examination referring to defeat. Mrs. Higgins on a question of law, as she knew the case was improperly in Court. Mrs. Mann and her faction, through their attorney, Mr. Higgins, have been attempting for ten months to secure possession of this money, but have been defended each time. Mrs. Ridley reports that her Chapter is progressing wonderfully. One hundred new members were initiated into the Chapter in March. The Secretary, Florence Hurley, Secretary of Appointment, Mary Hawkins, Peterson was first appointed by the late President Woodrow Wilson. He was a Democrat and retained the office until postal inspectors recommended his removal for a shortage through the influence of Representative William C. Lankford, white, Democrat, also of Douglas, Ga. His successor was recommended by Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis' statement follows: "The Post Office Department checked his accounts and found him $244.33 short. His removal was ordered. After he had been advised that he should be removed because of this shortage, he embezzled, between March 24 and April 1, approximately $7,000 of Government funds by means of faked drafts drawn against the Atlanta post office. "After he had been notified that he would be removed from office he drew a sight draft in favor of himself on the postal savings account for $3,000. On March 30 he drew another draft, payable to himself for $2,500. On March 31 the third draft was drawn. It was for the sum of $1,000. These drafts were cashed by a local bank. During this time he embozed $39.50 of other postal funds, making a total of $7,395.60. "Since the death of Mr. Peterson, his wife has turned over to Government agents the sum of $1,000. The Government, not including the shortage of $244.33 for which he was removed from office. "The daily press was in possession of these facts, but failed to publish them, but continued to publish the false charge that this man was driven to murder and suicide by exacted donations to the Republican party. "While our Senators (George and Harris) were in Congress vouching for the honesty and integrity of Mr. Peterson, declaring that they knew him personally and that he was an honorable man, he had in his possession the sum of $7,333.60 which he had embozzed from the Government after he had been notified that his services were at an end. These facts are a complete repudiation of any letter he may have written to his brother else that the Republican party had extorted money from him. His crime was aggravated. After he had been found short in his accounts A. E. and ordered removed from office, he embazedly removed Government funds, murdered a clerk and killed himself. It seems to me that, after making up his mind to commit murder and suicide, he first sought to provide for his family, and then sought to mitigate his crimes by planting letters upon himself charging the Republican party with extorting money from him. "Mr. Peterson was a Democrat. He was appointed by a Democratic President. A Democratic Congressman kept him in office through two Republican administrations, Douglas being the Congressman's home town. Mr. Peterson never paid a cent to the Republican party for his retention in office." Eternal Triangle Causes Stabbing Another case of the eternal triangle was brought to light a few days ago when Lester Bailey, 24, of 300 Cumberland street, according to the police, learned that George Copeland, 25, of 1704 Pacific street, was living with his wife. The result was that Bailey walked up to Copeland in a very quiet manner while he was standing at Atlantic and Utica avenues and cut him on the neck. Now Bailey is arrested and held in $1,000 bail to await trial and Copeland is in the hospital. Bailey fled from the scene of the crime, but was later apprehended by Detectives Seckinger and Griffin of the 37-A precinct. Bailey was arrested and taken to the Sixth District Court on April 2 and held on the charge of felonious assault. Owing to the inability of Copeland to appear against the man the case was postponed. Dies at Age of 95 ELIZABETH, Pa., April 9. (P. N. S.)—Mrs. Mary Ann Fletcher, $5, died last Tuesday afternoon at the home of her grandmother here. Mrs. Fletcher was born at Fort Ste- rons, District of Columbia, and saw sixteen presidents, from the time of Franklin A. Plerce to Warren G. Harding. She served continuously for more than 50 years as house- keeper for a Washington family. MARY MAY REBECCA HARDEN RIDLEY Most Noble Queen R NO. 19, I. P. O. MOOSE, RIORIOUS Against Carrie Brooks Disown out of Court Dependent Protective Order of Moose, named a sweeping victory over Queen Benevolent and Protective Order of April 4th, 1928, when Judge David C. Ivor, dismissing the complaint on the defendant, Mrs. Brooks. Mrs. Brooks, Treasurer of Mrs. Ridgway, paid a part of the legal fees in the bank before the factual right for Mrs. Mann, vigorously attempted she in an order to arrest her if payment was made in her possession of Truth White money for Mrs. Brooks, his complaint one witness was put on the witness record in its necessity, she says, to collect to any contribution at the prosecution of law, as she knew the case sign their attorney, Mr. Higgins, have secure possession of this money, but order is progressing wonderfully. One did not include in the Chapter in March. The second included in Jennie H. Holt, my Executive F. G.; Mary Hawkins, --- NEW IVER AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1928 William Du Bols, 49, no address, was found not guilty of a charge of grand larceny by a jury which rendered his decision before Judge Rosaley in Part II of General Sessions Monday afternoon. Du Bols was hailed to court by Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Gideon of 58 East 133d street, who accused him of having misappropriated a check for $300 which had been entrusted to his caro to pay off a mortgage on the Gideon home last September, Mrs. Hattie Woodson, who gave him the money, came all the way from Philadelphia to testify as a State's witness. Attorney Flagg of the law firm of Watts, Flagg and Grigg, 200 West 186th street, who defended Du Bols, told the jury that his client had placed the check in his pocket, and more than likely lost it during a subway rush at 136th street and Lenox avenue. The jury agreed with him. Harlem Physicians Called in Quiz (Continued from Page 1.) office upon Arthur Wlser, a notary public in his office, who he blames for forging signatures to accident claims. Oberstein said he learned of this about two weeks ago and since that time has paid out $7,000 in making good the claims of clients who said they were swindled. Wlser's whereabouts are unknown. Oberstein said. James Alonzo, 68 West 134th street, testified that the Ober. Mr. Johnson recommended Oberstein to good boy when his six-year-old Samuel was struck by an automobile in June, 1926. After signing some papers in the lawyer's office, in company with his wife, Alonzo he said never saw Oberstein again until two weeks ago, when he same to his home and offered him a check for $135 dated December 16, 1927. Alonzo refused the check because of the date and also because he had received a summons to appear in the Oberstein case. It was revealed that an insurance company release had been signed "Samuel Alonzo, father of Samuel Alonzo," which Alonzo said was a forgery, as neither he nor his wife could write their names. Attorney Kresel also introduced in evidence two checks drawn on the Travelers' Indemnity Company for $135 and $65, dated December 16, 1927, and endorsed "Rose Alonzo, guardian ad litem for Samuel Alonzo," also a forgery. Oberstein blamed these forgeries on Wiser. Barbara B. Harley, often called "Birdle," of Harlem, testified that she had a similar agreement with Oberstein, who was recommended to her by a friend, and that when she repeatedly called at his office for her money she was told to "run alike like a good girl and don't worry." Finally Miss Harley grew in the belief that there was something putrid in Sweden, so she took her story to an insurance agent, who consulted his records and took her over to the court house. She repeated her story to Mr. Kresel and Mr. Justice Wasservogel. When she returned to Oberstein's office and he found her "in the know" she was given $223 "cash money," pronto, while Oberstein had received from the insurance company in October. 1927 The morose attorney even then made her sign a receipt dated October 7, 1927 the girl testified. Randolph Bernstein, 18, white, a student of New York University, gave Oberstein a case under a similar fifty-fifty agreement in November, 1923, when he was struck by a motorcar, he testified. He called for his money every year thereafter until January, 1927, at which time Oberstein gave him a "rubber" check for $125. The youth said Oberstein apologized and wrote another "rubber" check, which exhausted his patience. He then wont to Oberstein's office and demanded cash in no uncertain terms, and got it, he said. 20 Stab Wounds Fatal to Man (Continued from Page 1.1) spot by Detectives McFarland and McGovern of Squid 9-A, who had hidden themselves in the death fat in the expectation of just such a visit. The two who were arrested are: Allene Evans, 342 St. Nicholas avenue, and May Bowman, 235 West Sixty-third street. They were taken to the West Sixty-eighth street station, where they admitted to being present in the room at the time the stabbing occurred, but refused to give any information as to who wielded the knife, and denied ownership of a four-inch-blade jack-knife, covered with clotted blood, which was found in corner of the apartment. There was a charge to the Women's Prison at Jefferson Market Court and hold without ball for a hearing in Hollomle Court on a technical charge of murder. Persons living in the apartments below and beside the one in which the stabbing occurred said that they heard the stumping of feet and screaming of women, but wore afraid to investigate the cause because of the fact that lighting and cutting affrays wore of common occurrence in the building which, politics say, bears a bad reputation. A search is being made for a mysterious character known as "Slim" and described to be about six feet tall and around 25 years of age, who has been known to make frequent Young Woman Says Man Under Arrest Is Leader of Gang That Abducted Her Escort Blackjacked on Lenox Avenue—Forcibly Taken in Taxicab to Apartment in West 134th Street— Her Life Threatened, She Asserts Accused of being the ringleader of a gang which abducted and attacked her, after they had blackjacked her male escort, Mrs. Sadie Bookhard, 23, of 126 West 129th street, appeared before Magistrate Silberman in Harlem Court as complainant against Frederick Jordan, 24, 16 West 129th street. Mrs. Bookard related that on the early morning of March 18 she was returning home from a party, accompanied by Horace Collins, 101 West 126th street, and they were walking up Lenox avenue when at 128th street a taxicab pulled up to the curb beside them. 10-Pc DINING ROOM SUITE Here is a Dining Room Suite worthy of any home! Yet it is priced so reasonably, it seems almost impossible that we can offer such good quality furniture at this low figure. Made of Breton finish Walnut, it consists of Buffet, Server, China Cabinet, Oblong Extension Table, one Host Chair and five Side Chairs. Ten Pieces, complete. Come in now, while the selection is complete. Three men alighted, she said, one of whom felled Collins with a black-jack. The other two seized Mrs. Bookard, she said, one of them placing his hand over her mouth to prevent her from making an outcry. They dragged her into the taxicab despite her struggles, she related, and carried her to an apartment on West 134th street, near Lenox avenue. There she was gagged, Mrs. Bookard told the police, and compelled to suffer indignities at the hands of a dozen men. Her abductors, the woman said, took most of her clothes from her to prevent her from making her escape, and after keeping her in the 135th street apartment for about three hours they brought her in a taxicab to an apartment at 2233 Fifth Avenue. There the three men who had abducted her attacked her. After the attack, Jordan, Mrs. Bookard claims, threatened to kill her, because he feared she would report the matter to the police and they would be arrested. Jordan, she said, drew a long knife, but was prevented from carrying out his threat to kill her by his two companions. While they wee wrangling over the matter of killing her, Mrs. Bookard slipped past them to the door and run down the stairs to the street. She hailed a cab and drove to her home, where she reported the attack to her husband. Both then went to the West 135th street station and notified the police. In the meantime, her escort, Collins, was picked up by a passing automobilist and hurried to Harlem Hospital, where he was treated for a scalp wound. Since the attack upon her, Mrs. Bookard has been maintaining a vigil near the scene of her abduction in the hope of finding her assistants. Thursday night she saw Jordan and notified Policeman Pollard Jr. of the West 123rd street station. Jordan ran when he saw the policeman approach but, after a chase of five blocks, he was caught, at 183d street and Fifth avenue, and arrested. Jordan is alleged to have admitted his guilt, the police say. Jordan's criminal record at Police Headquarters reveals that he has been convicted twice—once for petty larceny in 1920, when he was sent to the House of Refuge, and again in 1926. On the last occasion he was convicted of assault and sentenced to serve from two and one-half to five years in State's prison. He was released on parole three months ago, the police say. Magistrate Silberman held Jordan without bail for a further hearing. Another Big Day for "Numbers" Players Forty-one Arraigned in Court — Seven Cases Disposed Of A brave little army of 41 policy players assembled as if by mute consent in Part I of Special Sessions Thursday morning. Unlike an army, however, they were all very fidgety and nervous and seemed unable to understand just why the crowd was there. Finally, Judges Nolan, Direnzo and Fetherston entered the courtroom and silence like a deep pall descended over all. Roll was called and then the fun began. Ony seven of the total number of cases were disposed of, the others being remanded for a further hearing.

BOY, 12, MISSING SINCE LAST WEDNESDAY "I guess when it gets cold enough he will bring it home," remarked Mrs. Joseph Haynes, 141 Edgcecombe avenue, as she referred philosophically to her lost boy, Lester Haynes, who disappeared from home last Wednesday afternoon and has not been seen or heard from alcoo. He is 12 years old, four feet five inches in height, and wore a gray cap, dark gray pants, sport hose, black low shoes, and a gray lumber jacket on the day that he disappeared.

S.)—Governor Ritchie last Thursday initiated an investigation into the case of two boys, one 13 years, and the other 15 years old, who were sentenced to the House of Correction for forgery and larceny, respectively.

The boy in question, Clarence Jones, 13, was convoluted of forging a check for $14 and was sentenced to eighteen months in the House of Correction. Hadman Holt, 15, was accused of stealing an automobile. He was sentenced to serve one year. LENOX AVE.

Armoogan claimed the sign shut off the light in his store. Ten Days for Lying "No, sir. No, sir! I really did not; I really never play the numbers," said Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, 2195 Fifth avenue, as she learned anxiously toward Judges Nolan, Direnzo and Fetherston in Part I of Special Sessions Monday morning. The three judges decided, however, that Mrs. Thompson was lying and, instead of sentencing her for "numbers" playing, they gave her ten days in the workhouse for lying.

Philip Randolph Says Courier Article Grew Out of Conversation With Robert L. Vann, Its Editor— Surprised When Details Were Published "I shall never resign!" emphatically announced A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, yesterday in his vigorous reply to a report published in the April 7 issue of the Pittsburgh Courier under the caption "Is Randolph to Resign?" He added: "Since it is the feeling of the porters and maids that I don't resign, in order to secure recognition for the Brotherhood . . . I would rather fall dead in my tracks than give up the fight!" Mr. Randolph said that the Courier article was the result of a private conversation he had recently with Robert L. Vann, its editor, in which he was asked if he would consent to get out of the Brotherhood if the Pullman Company—said to consider Mr. Randolph as a too radical Socialist and, hence, would not recognize the Brotherhood under his leadership—would sign an agreement with the Brotherhood on condition that he resign. Spoke in Good Faith "I naturally assumed that the question was asked in good faith," said Mr. Randolph, "and I was amazed to see it published. However, I feel that Mr. Vann felt that it would help the Brotherhood and not injure it. It will help it. "My first reaction to the question was that certainly I would be ready and willing to make any sacrifice which would insure recognition for the union. I therefore told Mr. Vann that I would resign and get out of the organization if the Pullman Company would sign an agreement with the Brotherhood and recognize it fully and completely. Dr. Cheney May Lose His License Move for New Trial, However, Holding Up Action Whether Dr. Perry W. Cheney, now serving his sixth month of a sentence in Sing Sing for felonious assault, is to lose his license will be determined by a decision to be rendered by Judge William Allen of the Court of General Sessions after he has had an opportunity to peruse the affidavits of several new witnesses secured by Attorney Arthur Garfield Hays, 42 Exchange place, acting in the behalf of Perry W. Cheney and the N. A. A. C. P. "I also said that the agreement must be bona fide and that I would insist upon determining that the agreement was bona fide myself, personally. I personally have no ambitions to hold the leadership of the Brotherhood after it gets recognition and a bona fide agreement. I am only concerned about the Brotherhood achieving victory for the interests of the porters and maids. The Brotherhood must be recognized: "Every porter who has been fired on account of the Brotherhood must be restored to service for lost time, a substantial increase in wages must be granted and the 240-hour work-month must be given to porters and maids, just as the Pullman conductors now enjoy." The general organizer stated that, upon publication of the Courier report, there arose among the porters and maids definite opposition to his resigning the leadership of the Brotherhood and that the belief is general that, if the Pullman Company rejects the recognition the Brotherhood he design, it will recognize the Brotherhood if he does not resign. "If the men and women stand firm and fight harder than they have ever fought before." "The Pullman Company realizes that the Brotherhood has licked it completely and that all of its attempts to destroy the Brotherhood have failed. The company feels that, since it cannot destroy the Brotherhood, it must deal with it, and it believes that it would get a better bargain if I were not the leader of the organization and had nothing to do with the writing of the agreement. "To the porters and the public may I say that the Brotherhood is willing to win as the night follows the day! . . . I would rather drink water, eat bread, go in tugs and tags and live in a hotel before I would desert the movement! I shall always abide by the wishes of the porters and maids of the Brotherhood and continue to fight for their right to organize." William Bridges Jailed as Vagrant William Bridges, 37, no home, one-time lecturer, author and political speaker, having retrograded to the status of a vagrant, was sentenced to the workhouse for ten days when arraigned in Heights Court Saturday before Magistrate Douas. Bridges was accused of sleeping in the hallway at 2284 Seventh avenue, near 134th street, to the great annoyance of Elizabeth Owens, a tenant. Bridges was arrested about 8 o'clock Saturday morning by Patrolman Fitzgerald. He told the magistrate, "I am publicity agent for "Alabama Bam," a show that is rehearsing in that building (at 2284). On several other occasions Bridges called "the man who tried to come back," was arrested while intoxicated and sent to Bellevue for observation. YOUTHS ADMIT THEFT; SENTENDED. After pleading guilty to charges of polite larceny, Wintron Kring, 19, and Nephthalin Hammond, 17, both of 246 East 136th street, received an indeterminate sentence in the pententary early last week when appeared before Judge Rancho in Iron County. The youths were making into the lunch wagon of Frederick C. Wolgs, white, at 2521 Third avenue, on Feb. 26, and stealing foodstuffs, a revolver and a clock. Both youths have Whether Dr. Perry W. Cheney, now serving his sixth month of a sentence in Sing Sing for felonious assault, is to lose his license will be determined by a decision to be rendered by Judge William Allen of the Court of General Sessions after he has had an opportunity to peruse the affidavits of several new witnesses secured by Attorney Arthur Garfield Hays, 43 Exchange place, acting in the behalf of Mrs. Perry W. Cheney and the N. A. A. C. P., who are making a determined and courageous fight to save the convicted doctor the fruit of his long years of persevering toll and successful study. The bulky motion papers filed with Judge Allen in an effort to secure a retrial of the case consist of sixty typewritten pages and contain the sworn affidavits of eight witnesses whom, Attorney Hays contends, have in their possession information of a vital and material nature which in his opinion would warrant the commutation of Dr. Perry's sentence. The witnesses are: Hattie Wood, 420 St. Nicholas avenue; Jennie and Amos Knighton, 290 West 141st street; Edwin Riley, 210 West 147th street; Dr. James T. W. Granady, 2424 Seventh avenue; Miss Susie Eailey, a nurse at Harlem Hospital; Isaac Robeson, 234 Bradhurst street; Anna Luce, 210 West 147th street, and Dr. Aubrey Maynard, of the staff of Harlem Hospital. A letter of recent date written by Dr. Harold Rypins, secretary for the New York State Board of Medical Examiners, and received by the Edward R. Carroll, Clerk of the Court of General Sessions, asked for a certified copy of Dr. Cheney's indictment which, Dr. Rypins stated, was necessary for use in an action to be taken by his department in connection with the revocation of the doctor's license. A later communication received by Dr. Cheney at Sing Sing Prison, and which is now in the hands of his attorney, is a notification from James Sullivan, director of Professional Education of New York State, to the effect that the doctor's license would be revoked. Attorney Hays, however, has been successful in having this action retarded pending the decision to be handed down by Judge Allen. Ex-Porter Burglarized Riverdale Orphanage His motive for burglary was a desperate need of money, explained Audrey Wells, 21, a porter, who gave his address as the Hotel Paris, 123d street and Third avenue, when arranged in West Farms Court early last week before Magistrate Vitale, who held him in $3,500 ball for the Grand Jury. Wells was arrested Monday afternoon, a week ago, when he attempted to cash a stolen check at the Guarantee Trust Company, Fifth avenue and Fort-fourth street. Four other checks, found in Wells' possession, he admitted stealing from a safe, the combination of which he knew, in the office of the Riverdale Orphanage, 253d street and Fidelity. Wells was employed last November as a handy man but was discharged for mollition. He kept a key to the rear door, it is said, and returned the night of March 6 and stole $113 in cash and five checks which totaled $1,087, the police say.

Housewrecker Beaten By White Strikers Charged with assaulting Frank Smith, a housewrecker of 2449 Seventh avenue, because he refused to join the strike, John Klockick, 36, white, 625 East 16th street, and John Pawlifkovsky, 31, also white, of 606 East 11th street, were held in $1,500 ball for a further hearing when arraigned Saturday before Marriate Suberman in Hurlem Court. The housewreckers recently went on strike. Smith continued to work and Wednesday night, while on his was home, four strikers attacked him at 125th street and Eighth avenue. The men struck him with their fists, he said, and one of them then struck him on the head with a brick, inflicting a cut which required three stitches to close it up. Two of the men made their escape, but Klockick and Pawlifkovski were caught by Policeman Lyon of the West 123d street station and arrested. Plan Flying School For Harlem Youth Clifford J. Rodgers Has Philadelphia Backing for Project BY EDGAR T. ROUZEAU. Have you ever conversed with a man who didn't think that half a loaf was better than no bread, or who believed that a goal worth striving for was not worth striving for in vain? If you have not it will be hard to picture in your imagination a likeness of Clifford J. Rodgers, a Philadelphia aviator, who has arrived in this city with the avowed intention of coaxing Harlem to take to the air. Mr. Rodgers states that he will start his proposed "Flying Club" as soon as he receives his transportation permit and pilot's license from the Bureau of Commercial Aeronautics, to which he was already applied. He is being backed in this pursuit by the Ledington School of Aviation of Philadelphia, of which he is a graduate, and by which institution, he says, he will be supported materially in his plans for purchasing a flying field and several planes of the advanced "Waco" type. In referring to Hubert Julian's proposed flight to Europe and return, Mr. Rodgers said: "I think that the aim is a noble one and worthy of Mr. Julian's ambition and norve. Although I wish him every success in his attempt, I must say frankly that I am not in harmony with the project because of the great hazard and long odds against which Mr. Julian would have to contend." "Don't you think an effort to succeed is better than no attempt at all?" he was asked. "Why, yes," replied Mr. Rodgers philosophically, "provided it doesn't fall. If a mistrust should befall Mr. Julian while he is seeking to carve his name in the 'Hall of Fame,' then what will he leave behind him to perpetuate his memory? A more concrete and more secure example of attachment" he said in introduction, "would he the establishment of a dying school for harmless youth. Then, after we have turned out a few graduates, we could easily afford to permit our from rank ranks like Mr. Julian to change the perils involved in a trancontinental flight." Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell, Missionary, Founder's Day Speaker at Tuskegee Annual Exercises Followed by Spring Meeting of Board of Trustees Dr. Robert R. Moton's Budget Economy Commended TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala., April 9.—Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell, who for forty years has served as a medical missionary to the Eskimos, Indians and fisher folk of bleak Labrador, paid tribute to the memory of Booker T. Washington, educational missionary to the black proletariat of the South's black belt and founder of Tuskegee Institute, when he delivered the annual Founder's Day address here Monday afternoon before the trustees of the Institute, many prominent visitors, faculty, students and townpeople. Gov. Bibb Graves of Alabama was also present and spoke. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, presided at the exercises. He presented Dr. William Jay Schofelin of New York, chairman of the board, who introduced the speaker as the founder of "The most outstanding example of medical missionary work ever undertaken by one man alone." "What Dr. Washington is saying to you today is that though man may set your bodies free, you, yourself, must achieve that greater freedom which in itself is not freedom, but consecration to the service of your follows. No man can give this to you; you must achieve it for yourselves," he said, and continued: "What Tuskegee can do for the world is not merely to talk about Booker T. Washington, not to cry over him but to turn out more men like him to follow him. He has given to you what Labrador has given to me—the vision of something to be done that no one else can do. Each of us—even the least among us—has something to do which, if he does not do, will be left undone. Realization of this vision is the dignity of human life. Purse Snatcher Quizzed in Murder Concealed Self in Ladies' Washroom of B. M. T. Subway Station Frederick Williams, 13, 144 West 1331 street, was questioned for several hours Thursday by Inspector Coughlin and Captain Arthur Carey in connection with the recent murder of a woman in the washroom of the City Hall station of the B-M. T. subway. Williams was arrested for snatching a purse containing $3.08 from Miss Anna Bohnlecky, a white steer. "It is not what we say, not what we think, not what color we are, nor how clever we are—these are not the things that matter, not the things that Booker T. Washington wants of you. Rather it is the courage and willingness to take from Tuskegee Institute only in order that you may be able to repay what you have. It is then that others may have the benefits and uses which you have. It is only with wisdom and selflessness that we can best commemorate the life of Booker T. Washington." TUSKEGEE INSTUD, Ala., April 9.—The Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute held its annual spring meeting here Saturday and Monday in connection with annual Founder's Day exercises. A budget of $560,000 for the ensuing year was authorized. This is an increase of $10,000 over that of last year. The board commended Dr. R. R. Moton, principal, upon the economy of remaining within the budget during the past two years. Chellis Austin, treasurer of the Institute's Investment Committee, reported considerable increase in the value of securities representing the $8,000.00 endowment fund. The following members of the board were present, many of them accompanied by members of their families and other friends: William Jay Schiefelfen, chairman, New York City; Wright W. Campbell, vice-chairman, Tuskegee, Ala.; Julie Rosenwald, Chicago; William M. Scott of Philadelphia; Victor H. Tulane of Montgomery; Warren Lagan of Tuskegee Institute; A. J. Wilborn of Tuskegee; Robert R. Moton; Judge O. E. Thomas of Montgomery; Irving S. Merrell of Syracuse; Chellis A. Austin of N. Y. City; Anson Phelps Stokes of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. William G. Willcox of Staten Island, N. Y.; William H. Carter of Tuskegee Institute; Edgar B. Stern of New Orleans, and Albon L. Holsey of Tuskegee Institute, secretary of the board.

T. subway. Williams was arrested for snatching a purse containing $3.08 from Miss Anna Bohnnicky, a white stenographer of 432 East 717 street, while she was in the washroom of the 125th street station of the Lexington avenue subway. Williams had concealed himself in the washroom and when Miss Bohnnicky entered Williams jumped out in front of her and snatched the handbag from her hand. She screamed and Williams ran to the street pursued by several men. During the chase Williams dropped the handbag, which was recovered by Harry Clark of 126 East 1220 street, and turned over to the police. Frank Carroll, 233 East 77th street, caught Williams and held him until the arrival of Sergent Kennedy of Police Headquarters. In the case of the woman murdered in City Hall station the handbag had also been stolen. She was killed by a man who had concealed himself in the washroom. Following his arrest, Williams was taken to Police Headquarters. He was questioned as to his movements on the night of the murder. Williams stated he was in Chicago. The Chicago police were requested to verify his story. Arraigned before Magistrate Silberman in Harlem Court, Williams waived examination and was held in $10,000 bail for the Grand Jury on a charge of grand larceny. Defunct Speakeasy Catches Fire A fire of unknown origin and slight damage broke out in an empty back room of what used to be the Harlem Theatrical Booking Agency, 168 West 132d street, closed by Federal authorities some time ago as a speakeasy.

Miller was arrested in Paterson, N. J., two days after the murder, and was alleged to have confessed to the crime. It was said at the District Attorney's office that Miller would probably rehabilitate his confession at the trial. His attorneys, Rufus L. Perry and Raymond Riley, said they intended to contend at the trial that Miller was beaten into confessing the crime. The jury was selected from a special panel within an hour and the entire case of the prosecution was presented Monday. The defense opened yesterday morning. The verdict of the jury is being awaited at press time. Jerusalem Conference -Decries Racial Prejudice JERUSALEM, April 7—Resolutions decrying racial prejudices and adverse conditions arising from them were passed unanimously by the International Missionary Council at its meeting today. The resolutions declared that "all Christian forces, and particularly this council," should strive to establish religious and educational facilities designed "to enable all to enjoy the same social, political and economic opportunities." It is said further that particularly in countries where two races of different color are in preponderance the "utmost practicable equality should be established." Wins Court Decision Mrs. Walton A.

C., April 9.—The rehabilitation of Haiti is progressing at an almost unbelievable pace and the prosperity and happiness of the Haitian people have already been materially increased, General John H. Russell, American High Commissioner at Port-au-Prince, declares in his annual report to Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg, which was made public last Monday. "From the point of view of customs revenues," General Russell reports, "the year has not been all that could be desired, but as a result of the sound financial policy in operation, and the accuracy with which municipal officials have been made, not only by the ordinary expenses been met, but the extensive and progressive program of development, including the rapid retirement of the public debt, has been continued without resources to the substantial reserve fund wisely carried as insurance against crop failure or other calamity." The financial policy inaugurated by President Borno after he assumed office in 1922 has resulted in establishing the finances of Haiti on a sound basis, says General Russell. President Borno and American treaty officials are also praised for their co-operation in carrying out the provisions of the treaty of 1915. Every American treaty official in Haiti, states General Russell, "is coordinated with the desire to accomplish that in such a manner that in future years, when the present day history of the United States is written, the American intervention in Haiti will form a brilliant page of which every American should be proud." drivers of the State Department acting through its puppet, President Borno. No improvements in the work of the Haitian judiciary were noted in the past year. Only a complete and durable purification of that body," reports General Russell, then materially improve its existing amenable and disgraceful condition." President Borno since the submission of this report has appointed a new supreme court. Only three of the ten members of the old court were reappointed.

A skeleton bride of Haiti. The visit of the Secretary of War and other distinguished persons to Haiti during the year is noted, but so mention is made of the exhulse of the United States from Haiti Democrat, of Utah, who charges that he was kept out of Haiti on or ders of the State Department acting through its puppet, President Borno. No improvements in the work of the Haitian judiciary were noted in the past year, "Only a complete and drastic purification of that body," reports General Russell, "can materially improve its existing immeasurable and disgraceful condition." President Borno since the submission of this report has appointed a new supreme court. Only three of the ten members of the old court were reappointed.

He stood in front of the stable door, his brow contracted in thought, gazing at a top buggy fast receding into the distance. Ever and anon he emitted an interjection characteristic of the section and cast a curious look at the pieces of silver in his hand. The midday express from Washington had left a solitary passenger, in itself an unusual occurrence. The stranger, fair of face, well-dressed and of commanding appearance, had come to his place and requested a buggy to take him out into the country. DUR "Goin' to Edgefield's, ain't you?" said the liveryman genially. "No. I'm going to Andy Wyatt's," responded the young man, whose name was Russell Stanley. "Goin' to come right back?" came the second question curiously. "I'm going to stay," was the positive reply. Consequently, the keeper was puzzled. Wyatt was a Negro, one of the biggest cotton planters in the state, owned ten square miles of land and had an army of tenants, croppers and workmen surrounding him. He was admired and respected by the blacks of the entire district, and secretly enviled and feared by a large portion of the whites. But he kept a cool head, raised more cotton than anybody else, and the finest stock, paid his bills promptly and his credit was gilted. His nearest neighbor and keenest rival was Col. James Edgefield, the Democratic boss of the state and congressman from the Fifteenth district. Edgefield's hospitality was well known; so was the beauty of his daughter and only child. Elsie. It was a common thing for young men to drop off at Golden's and run out to Edgefield's place for a day or two. One young man had stayed two whole weeks. But what any white man was doing driving out to Wyatt's to stay was what puzzled the livery man. Nevertheless, the driver and the buggy, with its passenger, were soon out on the dusty road that led to Wyatt's farm. The liverman had made a careful inspection of Stanley to see if he might not be mistaking, as he said, "a nigger for a white man." But the finely formed features, the clear white skin and soft half-curling hair, together with the genial air of culture unknown to any Negro he had ever seen, confirmed him in his first opinion. To his driver on the way out Russell made no effort to conceal the fact of his connection with the black race, despite his Saxon appearance. Nevertheless, he did not feel any pressing necessity to tell everybody he met, any more than does the average Dutchman or naturalized Irishman. He was an entire stranger to the South, its people and its ways, though he was born on the very farm to which he was now driving. Stanley knew, in a general way, of the prejudice and restrictions of this section. He had not been entirely free from them in New York. He remembered well how it came to him one day, in the street not far from the glitter and glare of Broadway. One of its playmates called him a "nigger" and said something about his "nigger-mother." Stanley whipped him mercilessly and then went one crying to his mother to find out what the boy meant. Little by little there came to him with his advancing years the meaning of it all, the situation of his race, and more particularly his own peculiar condition. He watched the lines across his mother's brow grow deeper day by day and sorrowed with her in the life once so full of hope that had been swallowed up in the shame of his birth. He almost hated his own existence that had brought to her such sorrow and distress. To him, she was still as good, as pure and as noble as she was in those days long ago as the daughter of a well-to-colored farmer in South Carolina, when she had held up her head in pride. His father he did not know; only one thing he knew, his father was white. Year after year, as soon as he could, the lad had struggled along in the bustle of New York to support his mother and to educate himself. And when he sat beside her bed and saw her life come peacefully to a close, far away from kindred and friends—alone, forgotten and almost despaired—his heart beat furiously and he lifted his eyes and prayed that God would help him find revenge on the one who had caused it all. were getting too heavy for the farmer, despite his robust health and vitality. He wanted to train a younger man to take up the burden when he should die, lest his wife and daughter be robbed by the unscrupulous of the fruits of his life's toll. Consequently, when Russell's letter of inquiry came unexpectedly to him one day, Andy asked the boy by return mail to come and live with him. The buggy turned from the dusty road to a shattered driveway and into the yard of Wyatt's home. It was a two-story frame building, typical of the old South. Around the doorway of the quiet-old-fashioned porch twined honey-suckle and wild roses. Andy's wife, Clarion, came out to meet him in her plain "farmer's wife's" clothes. His appearance surprised her. She had expected to see a very fair young man. But he was white, so white she was almost afraid she was mistaken. Added to his natural complexion was the pallor of the city dweller and the indoor life. She kissed him in the simple southern fashion, and then led the way into the front room she had opened and aired for this occasion. Andy came in at the close of day and the welcome was complete. Sitting that night before a wholesome country meal, Russell surveyed his new surroundings. He could see that these people were lovable, true and good, and he rejoiced that he was there to love them and to be loved. The household was small. The little girl, Ruby, of ten years, was the only other member. Russell went to work daily with the men and worked along beside them. His bones ached night after night and he went wearily to bed. Yet, he perceived a quickening of his strength, a healthier color creeping into his face, and the glow of a vigor which he had never before known. He worked hard to please his uncle and his efforts won him not only esteem, but brought from the hearts of these two lovable people all that pent-up affection that they had hoped to lavish on their own lost son. A short way from the big house were the houses of tenants and immediate employees, and scattered here and there over these square miles were other tenant houses, burns and stables. A large gin house, around which was stored hundreds of bales of cotton, was down near the creek. The commissary at the back of Wyatt's house, from which the whole section was fed, completed the establishment. And a happy establishment it was. He had often heard of the songs and the singing of the Negroes on the farms. Coming home late in the evenings, as the sun died away to rest and all was clear and still, the men used to burst out into songs, which floated off into the distance until the sweetness was absorbed by the trees and flowers. He found himself joining in and singing with them. He had never seen such happy, carefree people. They were not troubled by any race problem, any bigaboo of social or political equality. They worked and earned their breed as God intended, lived in this out-of-doors all day and slept soundly at night and were happy. Ah, what he had missed away from this life so long. And now that he was in it, he meant to stay and live forever, and always be as simple and honest as they. Soon nights when he came home less fatigued in body and mind he would go into the front room of Andy's simple home and open a quaint old square piano that had lost none of its harmony and accompany himself in some plaintive faraway song of the heart. His voice was a clear, sweet tenor. He had studied some at spare moments in New York. Sometimes when he found himself drifting off into some sorrow-song little Ruby would come in quietly and lay her little head against him. "Don't play that way," she would say, "do you think nobody loves you? Me and Mama and Papa all love you." "He is our boy now," Clark said as she laid her hand on her husband's shoulder one night. "We must be both mother and father to him." "And such a boy!" responded Andy, his eyes glistening with pride. "Ah, he would make my old daddy feel good towards him, though he died broken hearted by his birth." He wiped away a tear as the remembrance brought him sorrow. "He worked in the bottoms today almost knee deep in mud and water. Jones told me how the men have all fallen in love with him. It's the same everywhere, there isn't a man who wouldn't almost die for his mere approval. I think he's working too hard. Tomorrow I am going to send him off to Carter's for a change." Next day, in the dim gray light of morning, Russell left for Carter's, ten miles away, on an armand of minor importance. He spent the middle of the day there, made an early start for home, so as to be there in time to check off the incoming squad and to get the work planned for the morrow. The ride had done him good and he felt at peace with all the world. Yes, almost all the world — save one — and as yet he didn't know who that one was. His armand quickly accomplished, and since he had plenty of time before him, he had let his pony drop into a walk. With his feet thrown carelessly on one side of the saddle, he was riding along peacefully, singing and voicing the feeling of his happy heart. The woods caught up the echoes and sent his song back in grotesque snatches that made him laugh. "How merry goes the day when the heart is young," he sang joyously, and rounding a corner of the house upon another rider, girl fainn of beautiful motionless in the road upon her horse and listening intently to his song. At the sight of her he hesitated, then, settling into his saddle, prepared to strike up a faster gait and go on, but she stopped him. "I heard you singing," she said, "in a soft mellow voice," and "I lived it. Please don't stop. I want you to sling some more for NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1928 The Author Harry H. Pace, peace politician, keen scholar, pioneer music publisher and manufacturer, author of merit, his first book, *The Art of Music* 1934 in Covington, Ga., and educated at Atlanta University, from which institution he received his bachelor of arts degree in 1903. During the years 1908-08 he served as a teacher of languages at Lincoln University of Missouri. He next became a professor at the University of Memphis, Tenn. Later he was secretary-treasurer of the Standard Life Insurance Co. of Atlanta, Ga., until 1920, when he arrived at the University of Chicago and became a publisher and manufacturer of "Black Swan" phonographs and records. In 1925 he transformed his activities to Newark, N. J., where he founded the Northeastern Life Insurance Co., an institution of which he is now the president and which has more than tripled its resources in the two years since its birth. As an author he has contributed, among other organs, a tale, the *York City Story*, a Billboard with true pleasure that we now command him to our readers. me, I'm going your way, too," she added coily. Her simplicity and directness confused him. He scarcely knew how to reply. Her beauty dazzled him and he looked with admiration upon the becoming riling-habit, and upon her face, flushed with the excitement of riding. Her soft, golden hair fell down her back in a long, loose braid, and round her eyes the curls fell carelessly down. Instinctively he recognized her for whom she was, Col. Edgefield's daughter, Elsie. He had not seen either of these personages since his arrival here, though he had once heard Edgefield speak to a large crowd in Cooper Union about the inherent inferiority of the Negro. He tried to stammer out some reply to her words, but before he could do so something happened that made it unnecessary. Her pony, which had grown restless standing so long, seeing a rabbit cross the road, shied and jumped out of the roadway. He landed in a brush heap, where the crackling twigs frightened him. Instantly, he bounded down the road at full speed. The girl was taken unawares, clinging desperately to the pommel of the saddle. The reins were beyond her grasp. It had happened so quickly that Russell did not take in the situation until horse and rider were far away, making wildly for the steep rocky slope beyond the bond. But his own horse had felt the spirit of the chase and needed only the quick command, "Go, Benny, catch her!" Like a flash he sped after her and the woods echoed the clatter of horses' hoofs on the rugged road. Benny was young and just broken to the saddle and he could run. He was gaining on the girl every minute. But in the few seconds before Stanley took up the chase the girl's horse had covered several yards. Only a short distance away lay a rocky and treacherous slope, and if her horse took it at its present pace grim disaster would follow. No horse could hold his footing on that slope at even half such speed. Bending low along Benny's neck, he encouraged, coaxed and petted, urging him to greater speed. As if he understood, Benny laid his ears back, taking in every word, and as Russell quit speaking, bounded forward, fairly doubling his speer. The girl and THE Fifteenth Congressional district of South Carolina, in which Coldens was located, was nominally Democratic and for several years it had sent a Democratic congressman to Washington. For the last two terms it had been represented by Col. James Edgielee, whose tribes against the Negro race had won the ear, if not the applause, of the American public. His well-known doctrine of hate and oppression had been openly flaunted in the face of Congress with all but applause. "We keep the niggers away from the polls with shotguns," he said. "We don't pass laws against their voting." He knew, as did everybody else who took the pains to investigate, that, out of the 6,000 qualified voters in the Fifteenth District, fully two-thirds were Negroes who had conscientiously voted a Republican ticket ever since. Lincoln's proclamation of freedom sounded. That didn't matter: Edgefield obtained and kept his seat. The Republican National Committee had never cared about these Southern districts. The Democrats were expected to win and made no efforts against them. But this year was exceptional in many ways. Important measures were to come up in the House, and to obtain a majority it was necessary for the Republicans to obtain every possible seat. The Committee's agents came South. "You must nominate a good man and make the Democrats count you fair," they said to the people in the Fifteenth. enthusiasm that would have made his followers face any danger for his sake. They did not know the powerful motives behind the eloquent and burning words of Stanley, nor deep appeal in the slow measured speech and earnest words of Wyatt. These two and Clara, the wife, knew that in compassing the defeat of their powerful white neighbor there was hidden the revenge for a sister's wrong and the revenge of an outcast son. Meanwhile, Edgefield was in despair. The situation was worse than bad. Reports from all over the district were the same; the Negroes were going to defeat him. And defeat meant not only political extinction to his career, but utter and absolute financial ruin and the blasting of his daughter's hopes. He couldn't endure it. He sent for Harris, his political manager. "Harris, can't you buy those niggers? Give them as much as $5 a piece for their votes and all The nominees were Russell Stanley, Republican; Col. James Edgefield, Democrat. Never was a. South Carolina campaign so hot. Added to Andy Wyatt's powerful influence upon all sorts of small farmers, tenants and croppers, was the personal influence and devotion which the young man had excited. Every Negro in the district had an interest in the ticket to work for the ticket and there seemed no chance on earth to lose. Stanley addressed mass meetings, spoke at picnics and barbecues until he had aroused an her horse had rounded the bend and a few moments more would plunge them headlong upon a rockbound road unless he could overtake them. He saw her give one despairing glance over her shoulder, realizing the terror of her predicament. "Go, Benny; go boy, catch her!" he cried into Benny's ears. One moment more and he dashed by her, grabbing the loosened reins as he went. It was the work of a few seconds then to stop both horses, dismount and lift her gently to the ground. She was nearly exhausted, but bore up bravely, refusing to falut, and shortly afterward was ready to resume her journey. "How can I thank you for this act?" she said, "but for you I might be lying there on that hillside mangled and bleeding." "You should not ride so far alone on such an animal," was his simple reply. "Belle is usually good and gentle. I don't know what possessed her today. But I want my father to see you and thank you. I'm sure he would be happy to do so." They have ridden on quickly and They have ridden on quickly and were almost at the road that led off to Edgefield's home. "I live in that big house yonder," she said, pointing to a large white house half concealed behind a row of cedars leading up to the front door. "Won't you come up there now and let me introduce you to my father? His name is Col. Edgefield and I'm his daughter, Elsie, but—" she added hesitatingly, "I don't know your name yet." "My name is Russell Stanley," he said slowly and firmly as he realized the crisis before him. "I live with my uncle, Andy Wyatt, across the way yonder. I cannot go with you because I'm a Negro and your father wouldn't like it." She opened her eyes wide in astonishment and surprise and looked at him strangely, edging away. "Why didn't you tell me this at first?" she asked reproachfully. "You didn't give me a chance, and then it ought not be necessary for me to tell it. I have heard your father say in his lectures that no matter how white or highly educated a Negro might be, there could be no mistaking the fact that he is a Negro. "That's so," she added, recovering her composition and becoming transformed in the minute. "He hates niggers." And touching her whip to her horse she was soon out of sight. enthusiasm that would have made his followers face any danger for his sake. They did not know the powerful motives behind the eloquent and burning words of Stanley, nor deep appeal in the slow measured speech and earnest words of Wyatt. These two and Clara, the wife, knew that in compassing the defeat of their powerful white neighbor there was hidden the revenge for a sister's wrong and the revenge of an outcast son. Meanwhile, Edgefield was in despair. The situation was worse than bad. Reports from all over the district were the same: the Negroes were going to defeat him.

He sent for Harris, his political manager. "Harris, can't you buy . those niggers? Give them as much as $5 a piece for their votes and all the liquor they can drink." Harris laughed. "That would be throwing good money and bad licker away. Then darkies would take your money and vote for their man." In a moment he continued more seriously: "It's like this: the thing is as dark as can be. The niggers aren't getting' scored of your shot-gun threats no more. They've got Winchester themselves. That nigger Wyatt has supplied the whole district and there's going to be something terrible happen at the polls." That night Edgefield called Elsie to him and told her the whole --- AS THE campaign progressed and the certainty of victory became more sure, Russell's spirits rose. He was already tasting the sweets of revenge. Andy seemed no less jubilant than he, and gave every aid to the cause, sparing neither time nor money. It was not until the last few weeks before the long expected day that his spirits drooped and shadows of another thought came flickering into his mind. story, as Harris had told him. When he saw how well she stood it, he ventured further. He had always been confidential with his motherless daughter except on this one subject. Tonight he threw away every restraint. "You are almost a woman now," he said, "and you must share my burdens with me. I have explained the situation to you, I have not explained the cause of it." Here the Colonel lowered his voice to almost a whisper. "This is no ordinary contest. It isn't politics, The alarm had sounded one night calling all hands to a fire at the south end of the ten-acre field, to the home of one of Andy's tenants whose family barely escaped with their lives. The origin of the fire was unknown and the spectators looked on suspiciously. As they wore returning in the dim gray light before dawn they saw a tongue of flame leap up in the north, climb rapidly upward and burst into a seething mass that lighted the whole sky. Before they could reach it the gin-house with all its precious burden of machinery and cotton, representing a year's hard labor, was crumbling into ashes. The sight struck terror to every heart. They felt powerless before a monster so swift and so destructive. Andy gritted his teeth and swore double revenge, determining more than ever that Russell must win. But the sight had an opposite effect upon Stanley. It made him begin to think in a way he had not 'done hitherto. This kind of election was new to him. He had heard vaguely of the terrorism and the red-shirt methods of some southern states. He was now face to face with them in a way of which he had never dreamed. The contest was not to be a battle of ballots and convictions honestly expressed and counted. It was turning now into a struggle of arson, corruption and crime. Riding home through the dusk next day, he turned these things over in his mind. He had begun to ask himself seriously if the game were worth the cost. He did not want the money; in fact, that had played such a little part in his program he had never thought of how he should feel as Congressman Stanley. His whole thought, his whole end and ambition, had been only to humble the proud Edgefield. In laboring for the revenge, he had lost sight of the possible effect of its accomplishment upon others, upon these people here—Andy, his wife and the little Ruby, the tenants—in fact, the whole district in which a year ago he had found such peace and plenty and happiness. For years they had been cheated of their rigors, he knew, and he tried to persuade himself that he was an instrument of Providence to set things in order again. But the vague terror he had seen that morning depicted in those black faces, as they gazed into the ruined house and the burning cotton, an echo in his own heart. Was this to be his revenge? What if he did succeed and leave behind him a chain of disaster, fire, loss, maybe murder and death! He shouldered at the thought and almost wished he had never come South. Then he began to wonder if he ought to go off before it was too late and save the bloodshed that he knew was coming. He wondered what Andy would say. If it would be cowardly to run. Surely there must be some other way. So busy was he with his musing that he did not see the little white figure that gilded out of the trees on the roadside and stopped his horse. "I want to talk with you," she said quickly, "if you will dismount." Her appearance disconcerted him. Quickly he put aside his musings and the old feeling of hate returned. It was Jacob pleading to Esau. He felt his mastery of the situation, and his first impulse was to drive on and leave her. "I'm a nigger," he finally said sarcastically. "Why do you come to talk with me? You know your father hates niggers." She bit her lip and flushed. Then she said quickly: "There's no need of mincing words. I know your story, know everything hack to the day you were born. I know the bitterness of it, too, for I have placed myself in your position and I know what it would mean to me. I am sorry for you, but that does no good. "I am your sister, but the gulf between us is fixed. You cannot pass it. In theory, there is no communication across it, and there ought not be, but I come to you and reach my hands across it with the appeal of blood to blood and beg you to forego. "I know what this victory means to you; it isn't the office nor honor; you don't want them. You want revenge and you've taken this method to get it, to humble me and my father, to ruin us, and to make us a laughingstock before the world. I do not dispute the justice of your case. I couldn't expect you, as the son of my father, to do otherwise. Yet I come to you with no just basis for my plan and bog you for forgiveness.

For my sake I do not care, I could suffer that, and let my conscience rest, but for your sake it must not be.

He sat untenely on his horse, and she stood in the roadway looking up at him, her face expressing more than did her words the intense emotion under which she labored. Her words had gone deeply into his mind. Yet he dared not show her how much he felt. At last, summoning up all his control, he asked, "Why do you come? Why could not he, who has never spoken to me, come to no? I bear you no great ill will: there is no delight in seeing you suffer. But it is worth the victory to have him at my feet, begging and pleading, coward that he is. Yes, I'm your brother, now that you need me. After then, I'm one of those you hate." He reined in his horse and was about to move on when she caught his bridle. "Wait," she said, her voice tense in its emotion, "you cannot go yet. You must promise me that you will leave here, go away, back where you came from." He opened his lips to speak and gathered up his horse's reins as if to move. A sudden passion swept A Story of the Southland By HARRY H. PACE over her as she realized that she had failed. She caught his hand menacingly. "Wait," she almost alighted. "You do not understand. I need only scream here in this road and your life wouldn't be worth that." She snapped her fingers suggestively. He looked down at her, the blood surging in him, between two emotions. He had all but made up his mind when the last words came. In these few minutes before he spoke he fought out the battle of his life and then gave himself wholly to the decision. Reaching down, he moved her hand away tenderly and then said: "Scream, scream then, dear little sister, scream with all your might." Then he struck her a Library Notes There will be all during April in the Division of Negro Literature and History, 1858 street branch of the Public Library, a photographic exhibition.

The suddenness and the surprise of the bIgw more than the pain made her cry out with a shriek heard far away on that lonely road. Five minutes later the sharp crack of a rifle broke the spell of his words, and the echo of the boots of a riderless horse came to her horror-struck ears. DOWN at the Arlington in Washington Col.

It is because he is learning to dig down into his cultural resources. He is learning to choose with good judgment the crude, full characteristics of the primitive Negro and molding them beyond the narrow lines of race mockery into a thing of beauty and art.

Brad, 8074 Between 1314 and 1323 St. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1928 HOUSEWINE'S EXCHANGE Don't Let Your Property Run Down. Making an investment is exchanging money for some kind of property—shares in a factory or company; a house and lot; stocks and bonds. An investment is successful the thing bought retains its value and lends it a satisfactory profit; we lend on it a deteriorates and its value shrinks. We invest in stocks and bonds in the belief that the people running the company or factory are taking care of it and keeping up its value, but the man or woman who buys it is not doing so responsibly for that investment rests squarely on his or her own shoulders. He succeeds with it to the extent to which he is able to retard its deterioration; to keep it in first-class shape at the lowest cost for repair and maintenance; to economically and, on a whole, to operate it at minimum expense. A house will run down in three ways: ordinary wear and tear that damage the surface; unequal settlement that loosens its structure; decay and corrosion that result in the destruction of its parts. The first is the least to be feared, for it is usually going deeper than the surface. The results of unequal settlement are much more serious. There is really no remedy for this but rebuilding. As a house suffers there is nothing to do but wait until it reaches its limit; until cracks stop developing in the plaster walls, until doors and windows that have been refitted continue free. The progress that decay and corrosion make on the property is entirely at the will of the owner. He must keep it in good condition, keeping it out of those places where it should not be and away from the materials and parts of the house which would be injured by it. Watch Your Roof. It is especially necessary to know the roof, for trouble here will bring. Miss Ada Robinson, 200 West 12th street Jones, Harry, 67 Macomb place; Miss Helen Smith, 175 Rosenville avenue, Newark, N. J.

The owner should keep himself informed on the condition of the roofing, as well as of all the finishes (those sheet metal parts that close the joints where chimneys and dormers break through the roof and where two roof sections meet). When a shingle splits, there will be a leak. The owner should be constantly on the watch and ready to close this leak by slapping a strip of sheet copper under the break. The Value of Paint. Paint should not be considered as only a beautifier, but a preservative as well. Its action is to seal pores and joints against moisture, and thus eliminate decay. Painting is the owner's greatest reliance in his fight against depreciation and the soil that should be kept in constant use. The best of paint will not last forever, for when it becomes powdery, through the drying out of its oil, it ceases to protect and imparts the renewed. Bad spots may show any time. One must watch for places where the paint is blistering and peeling. Scrape off the loose paint and repaint. Start and get new homes, your city homes, garages and your apartment houses in perfect condition. Watch for leaks, windows, and replace the broken wash-off pipes in your plumber; see to what extent your property depreciated during the past winter. The same thing may be done to your electrical work and heating plant. Should you decide to change loca- Grammar School Girl Wins Essay Contest Evelyn Hammond, a 14-year-old student in grade SA at Public School 5 of Albion place, Clifton, N.

With the coming of spring the awning problem presents itself relentlessly. We must look ahead to the hot days when we want our rooms cool and shady, but well ventilated. There are few houses that design an awning protection that awnings give, and did not actually decorative quality when color is introduced with discretion. Materials for awnings are so varied today that there is no difficulty in making a selection suitable for any style house or apartment. Fabrics are either treated with simulated flame or in plain or striped effects, or they are woven fast-colored cottonis. Two-toned effects are also much used—one color used on the outer, another on the inner side. When a plain material is employed it can be stenciled in a simple pattern or the edges accented by a line in a contrasting color, or stenciled with a plain or fringed edge or scalloped and bound with braid.

Family Makes Success at Dairying MOBANE, N. C., April 9 — (PNS) —Mrs. Camilla Jones, Route 1, has been unusually successful in the dairying business. She started sixteen months ago. Her check for the first month was $8. For danu, the second check was $23.39. She says she wants to run it up to $30 a month. ARE you "nose conscious"? Just because your nose is the most far-reaching part of your face, it is naturally prominent. It, therefore, behooves you to try to keep the texture of the nose skin smooth, soft and free from blackheads or enlarged porus. This woman lost her husband several months ago, leaving her with a poor farm, two miles from Mobane, and nine children. Two of her sons went North and located or rather got employment on a dairy farm; the other they returned home, determined to make good at dairy ing. If your nose is rather short and inclined to turn up, dress your hair in a fuzzy manner—almost to a point of disorder. If your nose is rather long, dress your hair very simply and sedately. Their mother heard their description of what they had learned up North about dairying and enthusiastically encouraged the boys to get into the business. They made their mother head of the institution. Starting with one cow sixteen months ago, they now have a herd of twenty and plan to add fifty more during the year.

Immediately Mr. Salem Tutt Whitney filed a brief for the defense. I do not claim to be such a swell advocate, but I have a strong case. On the other hand, Mr. Whitney may be a clever advocate with a weak case. No doubt he realizes he hasn't got a leg to stand on, for he is employing all the well-known dodges of counsel fighting against the weight of evidence. These dodges consist of avoiding all the principal pertinent facts of the case, while seeking to focus attention on superficial, irrelevant facts. He does not want to discuss the important facts of the issue because he knows they are against him. When I opened the case against the Negro actor I set up certain empirical standards by which he should be judged. The theatre, I said, is a spiritual institution in America and Australia, as well as in Greece and England. It obtained its original license from the Church and it has a similar spiritual function to perform. The actor began as a subordinate of an institution designed to exalt men. When the theatre became independent he found himself head of an institution devoted merely to entertaining them. This is cultural degradation. If the actor permits the stage to remain at this level he is a social factor of negligible significance. If, on the other hand, the actor advances the theatre to a point where it exaltes as well as entertains, where it both colors and reflects social conduct, he becomes a cultural agent co-ordinate with the priest and one of the precious members of society. The whole case against the Negro actor, as I presented it, rests on the above paragraph. It is obvious that Mr. Whitney's task was to impach either my logic or my faith to show that the Negro actor is the false that the Negro actor has lived up to them. Instead of trying to discredit my standards Mr. Whitney ignores them, doubtless because he suspends the character he knows so solidly, intrenched in the history of the theatre. their flesh and emotions. On the other hand, the actor can immediately transform a barn, a church, a lecture hall or a street corner into a theatre by simply stepping in character and simulating a bit of life. In short, the actor can always have a large say in the development of the theatre because without him the theatre does not exist. The ex Instrand of facing the question Hida Atayi and judging the Negro allow by the same standards all factors are measured by Mr. Tessus, the teacher, and Mr. Jam, Vidiverting the discussion to vari- nues; non-essential matters. It is a tuth tity broad question to sidestep, with ever, and in the course of his hard nucking and dodging he at times un- wittingly strengthens his hand. At other times he discloses an assort- ment of observations, ob- served outside a kindergarten. By implication he admits the Negro stage is a cesspool of "nudity, profanity and salaciousness," a manic whim that he never made, but he disclaims the responsibility of the actor for the condition. The actor, he says, must be a man of character, managers and indirectly by the public. A brief reflection on the organization of the theatre will show "at this contention is absurd. Supposedly the spender should hire an auditorium, put an orchestra in it, set the stage with scenery and place the management in the stage. Suppose, further, an audience should enter the building at eight o'clock and remain there time to catch the surburban train. You could manage of audience be silly enough to say he had been to the theatre. The answer is clearly no. And why? Because an auditorium is only a certain kind of building which does not become a theatre until an actor utilizes it to present an illusion of life and the same poems remain literature until group actors endow its characters with Southern Railway Excursion Sunday, April 22d Leave Penn.

On the other hand, the actor can immediately transform a burn, a church, a movie, or a theatre by simply stepping in character and simulating a bit or life. In short, the actor can always have a large say in the development of his character, the theories he does not exist. The extent of his influence is limited only by his histrionic ability, business acumen, and courage. First he makes his appeal to the public and builds up a following so that money invested in his ability pays more than money invested in reliability. Second he makes sure that his investment of talent is paid for as adequately as his manager's investment of money. With the third reform, he punishes the reforms and innovations short-stage managers oppose. Of course, if an actor hasn't got these three qualities in his make-up he just a poor way of saying he is a bad actor. There comes a time, of course, when drama becomes the most important thing in the theatre and actress. But the Negro stage has not reached that point in its development. The fact that it has not reached the dramatic period of its development, I maintain, is due to the sloth and lack of enthusiasm in the race is advancing commercially, politically and in general culture, in poetry and prose literature we are making a encouraging headway and even in painting and sculpture, we are apprenticeship, we are bitting the Our stage, however, has remained stationary twenty years. This longing behind the general progress of the race can only be explained by assuming the intelligence of the control of the theatre is lower than the average. One does not have to remain satisfied with assumption. Proof is not hard to obtain. Mr. Whitney, himself, admits that the f. q. of the average actor is surprisingly low, many of the best of them belong "near illiterates." One would not expect these poor things to invent amusement fit to entertain civilized people, and they don't. The result is there is nothing in our theatre to attract the industrious, progressive element of the race and one finds its auditorium filled with human dregs. Again I call on Mr. Whitney for proof. Those who read Mr. Whitney's first counterblast will remember that he declared "if we attempted a portrayal of Toussaint l'Overture we would most likely have to make the great patriot do the black bottom to put him over." This, I pointed out, was an insult to the race, whereupon Mr. Whitney, in his second counterblast, replied: "I was not referring to the race in general but to the majority of those who attend our theatres who would know nothing of Toussaint l'Overture or his history. I speak with the knowledge of experience." In other words the Negro actor has played the coward's part and surrendered to the hooligans and worons. A body of actors wear their salt, facing a situation of this kind, would specially find that to remake it, they must be positioned more than once in the history of the theatre, most complacently, perhaps, in the English theatre of the 19th century, where audiences were even more rowdy than the Lafayette or Koppi audience. In those days forks were unknown in England and even noebelman house lavatory was a tuxedo in a convenient place where a man could answer the necessities of nature while observing the action on the stage. But because too offensive they would fumigate the air with smoke. "In comparison with almost any audience today, says Thorndike in a 1995 study, the audience in Globe was illiterate. A large number probably could not read and carry a newspaper. One newspaper continues more information of some social or human consequence than was accessible to London in the 1950s, and the entertainment offered T.

This popular playwright, by the way, did not have to numb the eyes (the black cover of the day) to get him over. I inevitably one asks just why was the London illiterate, who did not know whether Rome was in Africa or in the Middle East, but the penny to be buryage strung the strage as bristles. The answer is, to quote Thorndike again, "because the stage became a means of education, not a means of education, educating the London audience was the abundance of able playwrights who caught the ear of the public with arresting verses and the actor of sex and importance was the historic ability of actors like Alleyn and Burbage. To the London hoodwum who could not read, Mariew's "mighty poetry" would have been as unintelligible in print as they are to Mr. Whitney today. Indeed Shakespeare thought so little of his plays as to publish them. He was convinced that without the magic of Burbage's voice and his fire and passion to give them life the plays were simplifying nothing. Such a presumption, applied strictly to his own generation, would not have been whohly unstored. The plythwrights of the time, like Fletchers, were finished scholars as well as skilled dramatists. The London public, on the other hand, was practically illiterate. It was the actors who bridged the gap between the scholars and the ignorance of the masses. They did not submit to the ignorance of the crowd; they challenged it; and in a few years they had had enough supporting the mightiest drama the world has ever seen. They accomplished this by making the stage a charming house of ideas and ideals, by emporiating philosophy, by educating the masses, and historical learning on the framework of a vividly told story. Their stage, in brief, was a spiritual force of the first order. Its beauties were interpreted to the masses by the actors as the means of religion are interpreted by the priest. Indeed, how any man can claim to speak authoritatively on the theatre and still relegate the actor to a position of little importance in the world, is beyond my understanding. In almost every work that deals with the theatre critically or analytically one is continually being brought face to face with the audience, and responsibility. Thus we find Bernard Shaw at times complaining that modern English drama is handicapped by the English actor's lack of experience in the artistry of an outstanding actor has frequently inspired a dramatist to put forth his best efforts. Great drama, of course, can only be produced by great dramatists, but the part played by the actor is equally important to that played by the playwright. Such plays as Rip Van Winkle and The Music Man showcase the principles of Acting, do not make actors; they are made by actors with certain definite talents. Other actors, lacking those peculiar gifts, are usually unable to make plays, and the unzip and Goldoni wrote plays expressively for Duse and Sardou and constructed dramas especially for Sarah Bernhardt. Can Mr. Whitney name those plays? She did were Lord Tennyson was certainly a great poet but when he turned his hand to writing "Beekees he conquered," he was not the correspondence between McReady and Butler-Lytton shows that while "Richelton" was being written the playwright never decided on a title, but instead an important piece of business, without first consulting the actor. Even in writing of great dramas one constantly detects the influence of the poet in the work of the der Bergerac" thus: "I wished to dedicate this poem to Cyrano's son; but since it has passed into you, I am to you dedicate this poem to whom Shenkeespares makes him helplain complain of taking on weight the lines were inserted to make it usher for Burbage, a man with an expanding arm of a presumably slender prince. The actors I have referred to in the last several paragraphs were able to exert such a great influence on the actors, who understood their medium. They are outstanding examples, of course, but what they did in a big way other actors have done in a small way. The theatre has evolved above the level of a music hall. The actors referred to were masters of their art. They knew the theatre top side down and inside out, from proscenium to stage. They knew them from Negro actors. They only think they know the box office. Constantly keeping his eye glued on the box office, more than anything else, is the cause of the Negro theatrical movement. His soul and juvenile mind, Money does not grow in the box office. The gold is in the crowd. The public will pay off handsome for what it wants and it always knows how to do it. Can anybody remember, in a single thrilling moment in the Negro theatre? Or a single original situation or plot in the last ten years? Excusing the invention of three dances, can anybody name a single novelty in the Negro theatre of the present has given the world? I won't ask another. Half a dozen determined actors with a knowledge of the history of the stage could revolutionize the Negro theatre in a decade. We have a public that in many ways resembles the London theaters of sixteenth century—a public so hungry for excitement, thrills and sensationalism that it eats up the Graphic and the Daily News. Outsidely here is a rich feel, and faces a public which has not seen any acting at all in ten years would not at first be too exacting in its demands on the ability of the actors to have to be changed frequently and skillfully varied in subject matter. As the players strengthened their hold on the public and imaged how would have to be changed frequently and skillfully varied in subject matter. The next step would be to encourage race playwrights by offering them a ready market for their plays. We would also be able to play for Negro actors to intertwine to Negro audiences we would actually possess a theatre which would not only color and reflect the spiritual life of the race, but one which would also be lasting contribution to world drama. It is not a task to be undertaken by shirkers, quitters and blockheads, which is to say they body at present are needed with the Negro theatre. It is a task to be assumed by people of intelligence, background, vision courage, courage, gender identical, of course, but the problem of our theatre, as I have pointed out, is in many respects like the modern kilzebethan England in other respects our problem resembles those which have been met and solved by various modern little theatre movements, and the problem offers many suggestions which may prove serviceable in the solution of our urban problems while accenting the role that shirkers throw valuable light on conditions on the road. No matter where we turn for enlightenment, however, we always find the actor the one indispensable factor in the theatre. Cyranio's soul has passed into the soul, and says to you, "Likewise the mobility of Othello passed into Aldridge while the villainy of lago required the flesh of Kean to reveal its subtility. The villainy of lago required the flesh of Kean to the dead to the living, the imaginary to the real. He is the hero, the darling, the mathete idol of the muse, the muse of life: I can resurrect him, and life: I can embark on Henry V. long embailed in history, except as he lives and sighs in the flesh of Walter Hampdon. He is the muse of life: I can win and holds the loyalty of the public. This is a high privilege but it implies a serious obligation. If he is the muse of life, it is a factor in the success. It significantly follows that he is mainly responsible for whatever condition exists on the stage. Consequently whatever is to be done with the incompetence of the colored actor more than to any other factor. We have only to observe what the stage has done for other people and at once becomes open and shut. If Negro actors have revived a single page of our history I have not seen it. I have neither the herosism of Crispus Attucks nor the wisdom of James Weldon Johnson for the inspiration of the color and romance of Negro life and expressed our love only in terms of swishness. They have made an art of the race and turpitude of the race and when one calls them to task they reply, through the mouth of Mr. Whitney, Compare our stage with any other theatre in the Occident possessing similar advantages and then answer yourself whether or not the Negro actor is a failure in his profession. Josephine Creates Furore By Driving an Ostrich VENXA.—Josephine Baker, the revue actress, has created great interest here by driving in a dogcourt drawn by an ostrich through the city of Paris. She has come from Paris to perform in the revue in which Miss Baker herself is performing, is quartered in the Imperial Stables. She is particularly taken by the ostrich to the Strasbourg Theatre has been strictly prescribed by the police. The hotel in which Miss Baker is staying, on the Ringstrasse, is on the side of the road, occurred to Miss Baker to enter the cart and drive along the Ringstrasse. Not content with this performance, she drove to Lobowitz to see the performance. This part of the town, however, was forbidden to the ostrich.

The court said to have started from London by train and took the channel bont at Calais, but could not produce a contract to play there, and had no right to enter the country. The witty boys went back to London and came from Cordyton to LeBourget through the air. When they arrived in France, the air field questioned their status, but as they were already in France and aerial deportation is not yet legal, the guards gave them time to tell their story to high-ups. The high-ups told them and said as long as the land is there it might as well stay.

Enthusiasm of Lincoln People An Observer Points Out the Delight of Auditors at Mrs. Downs' Lincoln Theatre An observer taking particular notice of the manner in which the dramatic playlists by the Ida Anderson Players at the New Lincoln Theatre are being received is in an unusually optimistic mood and feels that it would be refreshing for a larger number of people in the community to "sit in" and witness the plays. "If for no other reason," says our observer, "we have to watch the audiences at the Lincoln Theatre accept the offerings. I would tell all my friends to go to Mrs. Downs' playhouse and enjoy watching the audience. The majority of the people attending this theatre have been feeding on revues all these years, still it is gratifying to note with what ready relish they grasp the opportunity to apprehend something a little more elaborate. "There are thrills, heartaches, laughter running throughout these playlets, and what is more to the point is twice as much for their money since these players have been carrying on.

If it be true that the Caribbean peoples are gradually bending to the yoke of the American dollar, the surrender is not to be entirely one-sided. Or so one might interpret the news which Miguel Covarrubia, the Mexican caricaturist, brings of the rapidly spreading popularity of certain West Indian dances and music. From Martinez, he says, the "Beguine" and the "Fortale-France" and from Cuba the "Romba", all dances, to Jazz and to make us walk to West Indian tunes on the West Indies are supposed to vibrate to the notes of Wall Street.

Tutt (Tiger) Whitney, the followers of the comedian could only gasp as the bell saved the Tiger in the ninth round of the scheduled ten round bout. Back in his corner his handlers were frantically working over the almost inert form, with his chief second, L. Baynard, frantically imploring Whitney to use the Medus Operand. In the meantime Lewis was exchanging quips with the newspaper gathered around the ringside. They were out in full force. Benny Butler, for the first time in his career, had made the right guess and predicted that Lewis was in condition to put up the sight of his life. Chappy Gardner, who was rooting for Whitney, was being patted on the back by one Snoyd Felson who kept telling Chappy that while there was life there was hope and to prove it, Felson hollered that Chappy was not only a good sports writer, but to be numbered among the best dramatic critics of the age—along with Sylvester Russell. One of the boys in the gallery at this stage of the proceedings threw a bottle on Felon's head and he went out—mere diversion, for he seemed to be centered on the rips. A ham actor took compassion on Snelson and dragged him out, while they bored with the game. "Shell right, I am going to make you the world's leading dramatic editor and run that spawned writer on The Amsterdam News out. I will run him out for a long time, anyhow, but my revues have been punk and I can't do a thing to him. Even the managers insisting upon seeing me because here I take them into their houses." Just then the bell rang and the crowd rose as one with excitement. Mitney came lumbering out of Lois, trapping lightly to the center of the crowd on his toes, smiled sarcastically as he whipped a straight left to Whitney's face and crashed an iron rod into her face, centrally around the comedian. The ham actors present grounded while the back line chorus girls set up a scream of dismay. Dancing in lightly, Lewis again used the left hand to sweep a swipe that immediately brought a warning from the referee. The blow was sineed low and the men in Lewis's corner warned the brilliant young lightweight to watch out, as they waved lightly and seeking way out through a foul. With another left to the face Lewis and Whitney came to a meeting with other availances of body blows that had Whitney holding on. As the boys broke from close quarters Lewis bounded in like a flash of blood. The crowd rushed to Whitney's jaw. The comedian went down as if pole axed and the house went wild. The actor fell forward on his face and turned over. The crowd ran to the house and count as the timekeeper pulled out the figures. Ten! It was all over. Not a muscle moved in the comedian's body as his seconds, assisted by the crowd, counted as the timekeeper. From the looks of things the referee could have kept on counting a half hour and Whitney would not about, if ever a fighter was out it was the Tiger. Although giving right, age and what some writers had waged a brilliant battle from the start. the passing of Whitney was sad, albeit coming of Lewis into the elite class, the same as in cases of that kind.

"Bob" Scanlon No Actor at All, Hey? Spoiled Motion Picture Film by Winning When He Should Have Lost PARIS, April 3.—One occasion when the handsome hero of the cinema failed to beat up his burly opponent was aired in court Saturday when the Paris Seventh Chamber question of how much punishment the movie actor has to take before he can break his contract. Mr. Andre Pollack, about whom the argument centered, has been told to see in a film in which he was to win the battle the ship of the world by knocking out a Negro boxer. Unfortunately, M. Albert Levy, in impressario of the film,ate to be knocked out the better of him and in a Carpenter former adversary, Bob Scanlon, an American, to play the part of the black champion. And Mr. Scanlonate to be knocked out in a professional, he hesitated in outrage, style, and the character he went down indignously for the count that was enough for M. Pollack, who applauded his fingers just as soon as he was knocked out of the boxing gloves, and resigned. Mr. Levy didn't like that, so he laid an claim for 71,200 francs damage to his car, leaving it up to the court to decide if he had just cause to quit or not. The court interrogated M. Henri Bornstein, director of the boxing scene, and asked him to be born in Bernstein complained that M. Pollock hadn't trained for the match and was too fat. He added also the court to noe feeble. This led the court to request that he had not been overcautious in his blows, to which M. Bernstein said guardedly, "He passed the limb injury to yellow gloves to white spats. Mr. Pollock brought down the chair." Mr. Scanlon was then called, and turned up in his finest Harlem turn-up suit, wearing yellow gloves to white spats. Mr. Pollock ad his disdain for M. Pollock as fighter, and when asked if it wasn't true that he had broken a rb of the car, he said non-chanality that did not admit he was then requested to mimic the NEW YORK AMSTERDAM.NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1928 Jimmy Johnson's & Fat Waller's "Keep Shufflin'" Band Fletcher Henderson's Roseland Dance Orchestra Tickets on Sale at Dark Tower, 110 W. 18th St.; Footlights Qub, 118 W. 131st St.; Tattler Office, 2298 Seventh Ave.; Jackson's Pharmacy, 2305 Seventh Ave.; Lafayette Pharmacy, 131st St. and 7th Ave. "I have read every letter submitted by the readers of the contest rules, and I think that people have written their opinions who have never thought of doing a thing of this kind before. in fact, I think themselves to vote have interested themselves in this ballot.

The rally proved to be most successful and was well attended, practically every member of the club beaten, and displaying thirstiness for the welfare and progress of the club. The club was honored by the presence of Hon. John C. Hawkins, Alderman from Hon. the twenty-first Aldermatic District of Nassau County, and the principle speaker of the evening.

Morris has produced for the of the leading motion picture theatres throughout the country. This unit contains no less than twenty-two actors from whom have been recruited from musical classes in Harlem. Their numbers have been written by Porter Grainger, with the exception of a lively group of work songs" and "inspirational" which are traditional Negro melodies. Directly following the appearance of the new and novel singing unit at the theater, the audience will vade the largest of the Nordic theatres in the metropolitan area and play before Broadway audiences, it will go on tour that includes the principal cities throughout the east. Novelity is the keynote of this group of singers. Their program will not exceed twenty minutes, but the songs are not readily appreciated, and readily be appreciated, when it stated that during the twenty minutes of singing there will be five changes of scene. The scenes are the banks of the Mississippi River piped high with freight and bales of cotton. The audience first perceives the cotton pickers awakening in the early hours of the morning, along a typical Dittle roadway. At length they arrive in the cotton fields themselves, where the work songs and spirituals are sung, and, along with them, a few go to the dock where they old "bwahners" call for their cargoes. Throughout the changes of scene, many unusual lighting effects will be introduced, and dance interludes as well. The striking variety of this action Hall Johnson has trained the singers intensively in all the vocal arrangements, and Leigh Whipner of "Forgery fame has charted the song "Theatre of the Times" have been designed by Luis Ramos of the Theatre Municipal in Rio do Janeiro, while the orchestras are from the institutional pen of Joe Jordan and Maxwell Moore has staged an interlude in which solo numbers have been allotted for rendition to the Messrs. Cottrell, Redd, Foster, Maxwell and Morgan Jackson. The appearance of the unit in the motion picture theatres of the East is significant in that no choir of Negro artists has ever been gathered together for such an intensive rehearsal and large range settings and competent direction. A large number of notables will attend this premiere on next Friday. Aside from the social show, officially prominent New Yorkers, the members of the metropolitan dramatist and motion picture staff will be attending the event with Frank Schiffman and Frank Schiffman. These representatives of the fourteen leading metropolitan newspapers will be attending the event, in the presence of most of the prominent columnists whose work is featured daily in the press of New York. The evening performance only through special arrangements of Mr. Brecher and Schiffman, and this will be their only appearance this year in Harlem.

Mona Morgan Sees Our Actors Mona Morgan Sees Our Actors Says Alhambra Dramatic Players Form Wonderful Combination Here A number of well-known theatrical people journeyed to Harlem for the production of the Alhambra Players. Among them was Miss Mona Morgan, who has lately returned from abroad, where she has been starring in the sequel *Sempervivum*. Morgan is the authority on the classics and is now lecturing on that subject for the Board of Education. "You have gathered a remarkable collection of plays," Morgan said. "Their diiction is flawless. It is a positive revelation to me, and I am able to see that the people of Harlem are so responsive to your efforts." Peter Peters, for years business manager for the late Henry W. Savage, who produced so many musical and dramatic plays of the first half of the century, and I am able to see that the Alhambra Theatre and predicted a glorious future for the players. "I shall be glad to place such of our plays as you may care to use it," she said. "I should especially like to see the Alhambra Players present that vivid drama by Franz Molnar, The Dove." "You may remember the sensation created by this play years ago at the old Garden Theatre. I think it was a great human form" would well suit the talents of J. Lawrence Criner, and as for the misled young wife, I'm sure Everly Preer would play it to perfection." It would hardly be expected that circus men would be great drama lovers, but such appears to be the case. "I will be glad to perform for a large party of the Ringling Circus people and their friends.

MOORE. It was the writer's privilege last month (Monday, March 26), to witness "Aftermath," a one act play by Mary Burrill, directed and staged by Charley, which was presented in the Bohemian atmosphere of the Triangle Theatre, in the heart of Greenwich Village, and the third time the play has been presented, but the writer's first time to see it. He being asked to write about it, and being asked not a writer and last of all a critic, I am at a loss what to say. My reaction to it and I believe of most of those who witness it, that the acting was great and with a wee bit more practice will be superb.

The Lafayette "Kicks In" Sidney Kirkpatrick and Laura Bowman in Playlet With the Revue Bessie Smith, "blues" singer, began a week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday at the head of her 1928 show, "Mississippi Dawn." Aided by a cast ofティーフィティー and dancers medians and musicians, Miss Smith's new vehicle afforded a crowded house one of the finest entertainments of its kind of the season. She performed the Mississippi jazz Band to the grand finale, there is not a dull moment in the revue. A pleasant surprise was springing up the appearance of Sidney Kirkpatrick, the last act of Elinor Glover's "Three Weeks." Miss Bowman and Mr. Kirkpatrick were the stars of the show, and rank with some of the best colored and dressed of the day. Their ten-minute act was full of intense drama and very enthusiastically received. The feature picture for the week is Christine McKee, the stage manager. "The Circus." This is the picture which stayed at the Strand Theatre, Broadway, for a record length on Monday laughed hysterically from beginning to end of the picture. "For Sweet C HOPE DAY 1902 TWENTY-SIX MAY ENTERTAIN "TOPSY TUR By Girls' Theatrical Club, under Anna Small NINE Lines of people from the lobby of the Alhambra Theatre stretching to the curb, and then far up Seventh avenue, seem to provide the answer to the question whether or not the public welcomes dramatic plays. The Alhambra calls it a "three-in-one program," because the plays are reused to the tune of musical comedy and popular music. The program is about three and a half hours long. This week's drama is a very modern play, called "Why Were Cheat," by Norman Houston. Newcomers to the Alhambra Players this week are Edina Thomas and Teel Blackman. Miss Thomas was the first play to play Players of several seasons ago and has since played in David Belasco's companies both in New York and during the country. Players played with Paul Robeson in several dramas, and also made a conspicuous success in Shakespeare's "Comedy of the Three Musketeers," aute of Howard University, where he was an honor man. "Why Women Cheat" has highly dramatic roles for J. Lawrence Orton, Jason and Alice Gorgas. Comedy relief is provided by Susie Sutton and Charles H. Moor. The beach provides a new foil for Sandy Burns, the popular "Ashas." The newcomer is Montrose Brooks, whose stage nickname is "Apus."

UTE COMMENT By COMIC Sometimes Its "L" ACCORDING to the code of the Girl's Reserve Club of the Y. W. C. A., the "G" in girl stands for graciousness in manner, the "I" for impartiality in judgment, the "I" means readiness for service, and the "L" stands for loyalty to friends.—Undoubtedly some of the young men from the Y. M. C. A. will agree with this writer that the "L" stands more often than not for lack of interest in "cook-ology," "clean-ology" and "stitch-ology." Want to Hit? J. A.

Unbelievable A HEADLINE in the Atlanta Independent reads as follows: "Committees make elaborate plans for Health Week."—Can it be possible that the folks in Georgia are getting fond of soap and water? Right at Home A YOUNG man who arrived recently from Virginia found himself in a terrible dilemma because he could not hold down any job in which responsibility was involved. His distracted aunt asked him a one day: "Nephew, what did you ever learn to do?" "Well, I replied the young man sheepily, "my elder brother used to plant trees and I used to sit under them." In that respect, at least, he may be sure that he will not lack companions while here in New York.

A. to Foster Rosenwald Day An annual holiday, to be called Julius Rosenwald Day, is being established by the Negro Y. M. C. A.'s all over the country, as a tribute to the Chicago philanthropist, who is said to have given $20,000,000 for welfare, it was learned Sunday through the West 135th street branch at 181 West 135th street. The original suggestion to establish the holiday came from the Cincinnati Y. M. C. A., one of the many associations to which Mr. Rosenwald donated $25,000. In 1911 Mr. Rosenwald announced that he would give such a sum to establish a Y. M. C. A. in any locality that would raise $75,000 by popular subscription. Under that agreement Mr. Rosenwald is said to have donated more than $500,000 to Y. M. C. A.'s in sixteen cities. Mr. Rosenwald also encouraged the building of rural schools in the South.

Fully one hundred thousand well-dressed children, beautifully clothed women and well-groomed men joined in the traditional parade which wound its way up and down Seventh avenue until a late hour of the evening. Thousands of devout worshippers, touched perhaps by the spirit of the occasion, crammed every church in the vicinity. Most of the sermons delivered from the pulpits on the occasion had to do with the divine personality of Christ; the various events in his life from Bathlehem to Golgotha; on through the Resurrection and the Ascension, and the significance of these to the world today. Harlem prepared itself well for the occasion, as was evidenced by the extraordinary display made by its residents. Shopping on the day previous was very brisk, despite high prices asked. The department stores in 125th street, as usual, garnered the most abundant harvest. Crowds swarmed into these huge bazaars like children going to a circus. Tells of Working Conditions in Russia "A New Angle on the Russian Wrangle" was the subject of an interesting address delivered Sunday afternoon at the Harlem Educational Forum, 170 West 130th street, by Ella Rush Murray, who made an extensive survey of conditions in Soviet Russia for the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics last November. During the course of her address she stated that working conditions in Russia—especially in Moscow—were being adjusted to meet the needs of the working class, and that mothers and widows are being granted special compensation by the Government. Mrs. Murray is a member of the Board of Directors of both the N. A. A. C. P. and the New York State League of Women Voters.

Anderson, white, editor of the New York Sun, at a dinner Friday evening of the National Association of Colored Military Officers, at the Marguerite, 152 West, 132d street "Military Preparedness" was another keynote of Mr. Anderson's address. The organization was instituted last winter "to preserve memories of the wars in which its members have engaged and to promote patriotism by inculcating sound opinions in the young." The following officers were installed by Alderman Fred R. Moore: Lieut-Col. Charles W. Fillmore, president; Lieut. W. Woodruff Chl ls u m, vice-president; Capt Charles O. Stedman, secretary; Capt E. B. Nail, pressurer; the Rev. William Y. Bell, chaplain; Lieut. Archibald McLee, sergeant-at-arms, and Major Milton Dean, Major Vertner W. Tandy, Lieut. Thomas E. Taylor, Capt D. Lincoln Rod and Capt.

Little, who served in France with the old Fifteenth Regiment. Col. Fillmore was unable to be present on account of illness. Easter Cantata By Grace Choir Stelner's "Crucifixion" was rendered to suit the taste of the most fastidious during a canata given by the choir of Grace Congregational Church at Grace Church auditorium Sunday evening. The presentation drew warm approval from an audience that was both full-sized and appreciative. Every voice in the choir, which consisted of nine soprano, four alto, ten tenors and five basses, was a capable soloist, and executed their individual scores with convincing intelligence as regards clear and forceful articulation and delicate handling of detail. Mrs. Prince L. McConney, soprano, was the assisting artist. She displayed a remarkable voice, rich and vibrant in tone, yet so finely controlled that one was scarcely able to realize the depth of potential power at her command. Olyve L. J. Leter, choir director, and Hugo Bornn, organist, deserve high commendation for their efforts toward this presentation. It was truly inspiring and refreshing.

A significant recent concert was the Sunday matinee presented by the James Weldon Johnson Dramatic Club before an assemblage of appreciative music lovers at Mother Zion A. M. E. Church. There was much remarkable singing both by individual soloists and by the Lycaon choir. The latter group, directed by Prof. Leon S. Adger, sang a number of anthems that were distinctive for their trueness of tone, clear diction, free variation of color and flexibility. Outstanding among the soloists was Joseph Artes, tenor, whose singing of "The Heavenly Song" showed masterful interpretation and warmth of expression. Mrs. Olive Chase, a recitalist, was also, very clever in two renditions: "From Exile" and "The Story of Easter." Another attractive feature of the program was the instrumental playing of the Harlem Trio, composed of Clarence Desdunes, violinist, Tedman Smith, 'cellist, and Walter B. Baker, pianist. It is seldom that one finds a threepiece orchestra as capable as they were during the presentation of Gounod's "Ave Maria" and Clarence Cameron White's immortal song, "Nobody Knows De Trouble I've Seen." Others who made creditable contributions to the program were: Margaret Avery, soprano, and Mrs. Mae Edwards, contralto. Anita Pattil Brown, soprano, of Chicago, will be presented in a recital at St. Mark's M. E. Church, 141st street and St. Nicholas avenue, on Monday evening, May 14.

Best Sport Pages in Greater New York Celtics Retain World's Championship By Again Defeating Renaissance Five Local Team Will Engage in Last Game Sunday Night Negotiating With Crack Schenectady Club for Big Contest (By FRANCIS.) The World's Champion Original Celtics successfully demonstrated why they are called world champions Sunday night at the Renaissance Casino, when for the second time in successive games they turned back the challengers, Bob Douglas' Renaissance Five, by the score of 47 to 31. Prior to this game each team had a victory to its credit, and this was the deciding game. The Celtics showed enough all around superiority to put them without a doubt at the top of the basketball universe, but in fairness to the Renaissance team we must say that they played under a severe handcap. Jenkins, one of the most important cogs in the Renaissance machine, was on the sidelines with a badly injured foot, and Ricks, who is known and feared as a dead shot, was suffering from an acute attack of tonsilitis, which impaired his play in the first half, and took him out of the game altogether at the end of that half. Added to that, Georgia Fiall has been a spectator practically all season through suspension. There was a full house when the game started and the Renaissance went into a lead which they held for a short time, but the perfect functioning machine of the world's champions soon cut down this lead and overtook the Renaissance when that team had nine points. From that point the Celtics went into the lead and were never headed during the remainder of the contest. At half time they led, 27 to 12. The second half was a representation of the first. Jenkins, due to the illness of Ricks, but all he could do was to hobble around on one foot, and Davy Banks took advantage to run wild, so Jenkins was taken out and Hill sent in, but the Celtics continued their attack and, though Satch and Slocum made seven field goals between the second half, it was no match for Lopchick of the Celtics, who scored one field goal and five straight fouls without a miss, was given a rest in the second half and Leonard took his place. Banks captured top scoring honors, with six field goals and two second half goals in the second half, while Satch, with five field goals and one foul, led the Renaissance. For next Sunday night's game the management is negotiating with the Schenectady club, champions of the New York State League, as the guests of the Renaissance, while Jimmy Murphy will bring together the Camerons and Gitten's St. Ambrose teams. In the preliminary game last Sunday night the Metro-Diamonds Jrs., champions of the Eastern Colored Basketball League, defeated the choostle Jrs. by the score of 31 to 20 in a hard, fast and interesting game, who were close all the way. At half time the champions led, 16 to 15. We have always felt that "Chink" Lind, the referee, could be just as good as they come if he wanted to be, and his work on Sunday night left nothing to be desired. We have found opportunity to criticise him at times and feel that we reserve the right, in the interest of the fans, so to do when he de- serves it; but we take equal plea- ure in praising him when his work merits praise.

New York Braves Swamped Opals During the bright and windy afternoon of Easter Sunday, while pedestrians showed their Easter garments, Mr. Harris was exhibiting his 1928 baseballlers, the New York Braves, who were engaged in a solded game against the Opals, which included short sessions with a tune of 14 to 1, the Opals holding the shorter end. "Bob" Small, the Braves' right-hander, did the twirling in mid-season fashion and only allowed two Opals to reach first, while his teammates used their sticks freely on the Opals pitcher. This summer the Braves will meet the hard-hitting Donclares, which will be the real test for the Harris outfit. Carlton Season to End With Game Against Old-Timers On Saturday, April 14, the Carlton basketball tossers will end their season with a game between Y. M. D. and Old-Timers. Last year the Old-Timers lost to Y. M. D. by a small margin, and they are confident of turning the tables this year. Some of the old-timers expected in Y. M. D. Moses, R. Morton, O. D. Williams, I. D. Williams, A. Willem, A. Niles, C. Jackson and Freel Scott. Although past the work of youth these men can still hold their own. It is not to be forgotten, however, that they are to face a new development at Carlton in the Y. M. D. which has played good basketball all season, having dropped only three out of 26 games.

Apt. 14 Bradhurst 3573 TWELVE LAMBERT CASTS LOTWITHLEAGUE Says Bolden Erred in Jumping Organized Negro Baseball in East FLAYS NAT STRONG "Doc" Says the Things Which He Has Been Predicting Are Now Taking Place PHILADELPHIA — Slowly but surely the battle lines are being straightened and barrages laid down for the advance of the warring armies in the Eastern baseball league the latest to announce himself for the league and organized Negro baseball is "Doc" Lambert, famous trainer and baseball seer, a man whose influence with the rank and file of players and owners is immeasurable. In a letter released to the press today, the genial Lambert says that the thing which he has been predicting for years has happened. And he did predict it too. He bitterly argues Nat Strong, praises President "Rog Nutter, and chides Ed Bolden for forsaking the organization which the latter founded. Doc writes: "I am for organized baseball now and have always been. I am not surprised at the split as far as Nat Strong is concerned. He has never meant Negro baseball any good. Years ago, when he and Walter Schleter dominated the situation, that made my Negro player was worth more than we wanted dollars a month. When a third-rate club went to New York he took a ten per cent cut of their percentage booking them and would never allow them to get half as much as a third-rate club. I regret Bolden's hurried jump and think he should have stuck with the league. It is easier to correct with white than by getting outside and criticizing him. Strong Bolden referred to when he spoke of a certain club receiving guarantees and paying none. And he is the owner who would not play his league club on his own park (Bushwicks) but allowed his white team to play the league clubs there on Sundays. They draw from ten to twelve thousand people and no one gets over $000 on a Sunday there. "On the other hand, Jim Kennan and George Rosser, white men, who own the Baltimore and Lincoln Giants Clubs, are loyal and ace high. They are for the league. Strong has played his colored club against white clubs and has paid the white players as high as $100 for a game, giving his colored players colored clubs aplacoe. When Jess Hubbard resented this he fired him and tried to wave him out of the league. "I think Ed Bolden is one of the smartest men in the business but he pulled one when he quit the league. I do not blame Col. Strothers of Harrisburg, for getting out of school and the highest salaried club in the game and a bad schedule ruined him. "Strong thought that when he quit Pompez would follow suit but the Cuban owner was too big a man to do such a shoddy trick. He is a gentleman and a square-shooter. He plays the game fair with everyone. The league will to elect Mr. Nutter to the presidency and soon as he saw that Nat Strong was running things, he put his foot down on him. Mr. Nutter's determination to have a real league and to run it as a fifty-fifty proposition for everyone too much for Nat. Nutter wants a kind of a break and baseball in East will prosper by him doing so. "The teams which have jumped are fighting not only the East but the West and the organizations are too strong to be forced to the wall. Nutter is serious and the Negro hall plays is well before he allows himself to the crazed from the fold by large promises. The league will prevail in the end and the men outside then will have a sorry time trying to get back at anything near their real worth." Grant to Fight Stevens Joe Grant dropped in the other night to ease us the information that with the coming of spring he like the proverbial million dollars at his feet to go. Next Friday night he is Kate's. He will hook up with Stanley Stevens in the main bout of ten rounds. Grant has been quite close to Benny Hall and from what we can glean he is a popular little mitt puncher. He too says that the fact that he is lightning on Friday, the 13th, comes mean a thing to him. He expects to bring back the bacon from unsteady. CELTICS RETAIN WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP Eastern B. B.

The Love of Health — OST people are in love with life, Only a small number in proportion to the population shorten their lives through suicide, It'is a delight to live, breathe and move, But the degree of the delightfulness depends upon whether you can breathe and move in freedom and without pain, This ideal of health with all of its benefits and privileges should be one of the main purposes of life. In order to have health, however, one should know just how to live. In these modern days it is much easier if you will to have health than in days gone by.

With the purchase of the embryonic Masonic Temple in West 14th street near Seventh avenue last week by the bondholders who were the first mortgages, through an auction sale of forcclosure, the salvation of the temple project, dear to the hearts of Prince Hall Mason, seems assured. As originally预定, the building named the name of the Prince Hall Temple and Hone Association who owned the stock, Bonds were sold to members of the craft, and these bonds became a first mortgage on the stock. For nearly a year it has seemed imminent that the building, planned for the temple, and the ground upon which it was erected, valued at $50,000, would be entirely lost to the craft, owing to the unwillingness of the present grand master, Daniel T. Teagle, to go with terms and conditions made by his predecessor, Joseph Made with the bondholder De Pesso, the same and conditions being generally held as impossible among the Prince Hall Mason in New York. Out of a chaotic situation branded again and again as hopeless, grand Master Teagle issued a call to the bondholders, surrender to him their bonds, devise a plan as a method of protecting them. Of the outstanding bonds, $50,000 in all, $40,000 worth were turned over, and with these in his possession, Cornell Hughes, as the bond WANTED The Kind That Will Take Pride in a Manly Figure.

Klan Ran Gamut Of Crime in Texas PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 7. Murder, kidnapping, conspiracy, employment of women "lures," bribery, perjury, prostitution, gambling, trickery, felonious assault, fraud and burning a Negro alive are charges made against Hiram W. Evans, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan (renamed Knights of the Forest) and other officials by David C. Stephenson, former grand dragon of the Klan in Indiana, now serving a life term in Michigan City Prison for the murder of Madge Oberholzer, white. "The Barrickman, white, of this city, who is suing to bar the Klan from Pennsylvania, where the hooded order is said to have collected over 10,000,000 from its members, obtained Stephenson's deposition in his cell on March 28, it is reported. Among other hellish crimes attributed by Stephenson to the Klan he added: "Mr. Evans told me on a number of occasions of instances where they took colored men in Dallas, Tex., out and burned them at the site, and they cut off his ears, and another one they brauded 'K, K, K, K' across the forehead with either a hot iron or acid. These he told me about himself, and not only told me about them, but bragged about them and boasted of them." The deposition also cites an alleged instance where the Klan tried to "frame" a judge in Terrell, Tex., by employing a half-wilt white girl to do the job. When she failed they were处 in a cellar, and they stripped, tarred and feathered her until she begged city authorities to lock her in fall. Stephenson also charges that Evans had two gunmen heckens who, Evans said, had killed eleven men. Evans is pictured by Stephenson as "an uncultured, uncoath, vulgar, malignant, agustering under power like Nen, gruesome, gruesome, gruesome every straw in an effort to identify his name with something of national importance."

A hurried call to the West Sixth-eighth street station brought Patrolman Leder to the spot. He sent in an emergency call to Knickerbocker hospital, which brought Dr. Dezenhart to the scene of the avil chore. An examination proved that the wounds exhibited by Mr. Russell were only incarcerations of a minor nature. They were dressed on the spot by Dr. Dezenhart, and then Patrolman Ledder escorted the combatants to the station house, where Alfred refused to make a complaint. "Dismissed," said the lieutenant, and out of the house walked Mr. and Mrs. Russell, arm in arm. WHY NEGROES STILL LEAVE THE SOUTH ALEXANDRIA, La., April 9 (P. N.

Stull Politics THE “LILY WHITES” and Demo: crats of Georgia have found a new pretext for attempting to get rid of the Negro national committeemen. A white Georgia postmaster, after being discharged because of a short- age in his books, killed one of, his white clerks and himself, complain- ing that the Republican party had been bleeding him for contributions. Ben J. Davis, a Negro, is the Republi- can boss of Georgia and has charge of Federal patronage in that state. Robert Church, Negro boss of Ten= nessee, has also been attacked by white men who cannot abide the sight of a Negro dealing out Federal patronage. NO ONE who understands politics will be disturbed by the pretense of outraged virtue. It is natural and customary that political parties Should be supported financially by those whom they have placed in office or otherwise favored; if this were not true the parties could not live, This is true wherever white men are in control and it will be the same when Negroes are in control. Richard Croker said openly before a jury that he was in politics for his pocketbook and not for his health. Even at the minimum estimate Charles F. Murphy was far from a poor man, and his only occupation was politics, Judge Olvany certains ly would not have given up a lucras tive place on the bench to become the leader of Tammany Hall if it had megnt a financial sacrifice. ‘THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS who are indignant about the Georgia case have forgotten some of the things that happened during the last Demo=. cratic administration. What about the shameleses war profiteering, the foisting of Burleson’s cqnvict-man: ufactured twine on the postal sers vice, the barring of cheap Cuban sugar from the country in order to let the Louisiana sugar planters charge as much as they pleased? Only a hypocrite will profess aston+ ishment that politics is still politics. Klan Krimes “WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT,” the proverb says, “honest men get their due.” The Ku Klux Klansmen are now falling out, and the result is a mass of recriminations that make people wonder how that organiza- tion ever had the nerve to proclaim itself the champion of Americanism, religion and womaihood. D. C. Stephenson, former Grand Dragon of the Klan in Indiana, who is now serv- ing a life sentence for kidnapping and murdering a girl, has made a sworn statement telling what he knows about the Klan and its Im- perial Wizard, Hiram W. Evans. STEPHENSON accuses Evans and other Klan officials of kidnapping, conspiracy, perjury, murder, brib= ery of juries, robbery, hiring of gun» men, employment of immoral women to besmirch the characters of decent men, tarring and feathering of both men and women, burning Negroes alive, blackmail and the intimidation of legislators, and drink:xg all the available liquor. As yet they have not stolen any collection boxes irom churches, but they may get around to it when they have time. MANY PEOPLE joined the Klan in the innocent belief that it aimed at perpetuating the supremacy of the best elements of America. They for= got the social and natural law that any organization based on hate and prejudice, on setting one race against another, will breed an un: godly multitude of evils. Pretending to preserve the republic, they are doing their utmost to destroy it. Things like the Ku Klux Klan have more than once caused civil war. James L. Chestnut THIS has been a fatal year for Harlem’s most vivid personalities, Of all who have died none was more loved by those who knew him than James LeCount Chestnut. Even in his college days at Amherst he was a famous character among the col- lege men of his time, and his popu- larity continued to the day of his untimely death. He made his name as a teacher, a newspaper man and a business builder, In a day when Negro college men are accused of turning away from their race he was interested in every social, religious and business movement of the Negro. Howard Made Safe HOWARD UNIVERSITY won a great victory in Congress last week when the bili sponsored by Congressman Reed of New York passed by a vote of 226 to 94. For years the Federal appropriation for the universily has been made every year, and every year the Southern Democrats have made a fight against it. During the Wilson administration there was grave danger that the university would have to close its doors be cause of the determined opposition of Southerners to the appropriation, and because of the year-to-year plan there has always been the chance that the appropriation might be re: fused or reduced, ‘THE REED BILL would dispel this danger by authorizing “annual ap- propriations to aid in the construc: tion, development, improvement and Seg tion.

It would be a great disaster to the Negro if Howard were discontinued. — - If IS ENCOURAGING to note that Congressman Reed, the author of the bill, is from New York, and that other New York men of both parties took a leading part in putting it through against Southern opposition. The presence of Congressmen of Texas among the supporters of the bill shows that even in the South there are some men who see the necessity for Negro higher educa- tion, EXPRESSED BY OUR CONTEMPORARIES Why So Many Crimes? ‘Tho moral environment of the growing child Is not bla parents’ conventional bellef¥, nor their tat eke ae cei wont enact he Sit ena aetna ne ing of considerod act and spesch—hut the child responds with extreme senalliveness to what his So the growriup child, the dwarfed ani stunted wt, the Woh adntatn aseeet Me clillus are neither schools nor churchos, but the GECRETARY HOOVER has hit departmental seg regation a knockout blow.
