ATTORNEYS' CHECK STUBS TO BE USED IN INVESTIGATION Prosecutor of "Ambulance Chasing" Lawyers Wants to Find Out if Harlem Physicians Profited Unduly From Accident Money Whether remuneration was accepted from white lawyers by any of the Harlem physicians who were called for questioning in the ambulance chasing inquiry, now being conducted by the Bar Association in Supreme Court before Mr. Justice Wasservogel, will be determined if the check stubs of Attorneys Abraham Oberstein, 119 Nassau street, and Samuel R. Robinson, 291 Broadway, both white, are placed in evidence. The check stubs of Oberstein have been subpoenaed and the check stubs of Robinson will also be subpoenaed when he is called to testify, is reported. Isdore J. Krusel, chief counsel for the inquiry, stated definitely to a reporter of The Amsterdam News that Hobson will positively be called to testify. A Vast Swindle For over a period of ten years Oberstein and Robinson are believed to have swindled thousands of dollars from over 200 Harlem Negroes, so whom they were-invariably recommended by Harlem physicians, in accident cases. These cases were always "accepted" on a fifty-fifty contingency basis. Many of them were settled out of court for monetary consideration but their clients were never paid, it is alleged, while many others were settled but the client received only a small amount of the money due him while the attorneys pocketed the rest, it is believed. During the cross examination of Oberstein it was charged that signatures on accident releases from insurance companies had been forged.

T. N. Bekker, white, secretary of the Committee on Haiti, at a protect meeting against United States rule in Haiti, held Sunday afternoon at Embassy Mansions, 20 West 115th street, under the auspices of the All-American Anti-Imperialist League. A brief and interesting history of Haiti was given by W. E. B. Du Bols, editor of the Crisis Magazine, who stated that the subject under discussion was of great interest not alone to Haiti and the United States but to al civilization, as it demonstrated "the method of the times." He stated that the whole problem was an economic one in which Haiti and other smaller countries are dominated for the benefit of capitalists and investors. Mr. de Bekker read to the audience resolution number 158 introduced in Congress by United States Senator William H. King, Democrat, from Utah, in which was revealed the details of this country's military rule in Haiti. Mention was made of the shooting down of 2,500 Haitians and the complete control of elections by military force against the will and consent of Haiti's National Assembly; the substituting of a new constitution for Haiti which was diametrically opposed by its National Assembly; the suppression of free speech; the pressure upon and intimidation of its citizens and the destruction of a free press. In this resolution Haiti's independence was asked for and the withdrawal of military forces demanded. Those present at the meeting unanimously approved a telegraphic communication to President Coolidge opposing the war against Nicaragua and demanding the withdrawal of United States forces from Haiti, Nicaragua and all Latin-American countries; also demanding the release of 107 pickets who were arrested in front of the White House in Washington where they staged a best demonstration with placards demanding the war in Nicaragua. Other speakers on the program were Richard B. Moor of the program Negro Labor Congress, Robert Minor, white editor of The Daily Worker, and Henry Rosemond of the Haitian Patriotic Union, who branded as false and misleading the optimistic picture of conditions in Haiti as presented in the annual report of General H. Russell, American High Commissioner of Haiti.

DETECTIVEN BOULIN DETECTIVE AGENCY 110 East 135th Street Harlem 8818 (day) Brad. 8847 (night) THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1928 News has reached the headquarters of the National Council of the Episcopal Church of the death at 10.30 o'clock Saturday, April 14, of the Rt. Rev. Henry Baird Dalany, D. D. Rev. Suffragan in charge of Negro work in the Episcopal Dioceses of North Carolina, Western North Carolina, South Carolina and Upper South Carolina, at his home in St. Augustine's School, Raleigh, N. C. Bishop Delany, who was an outstanding figure as an educator among the people of his race, was one of the three Negro Bishops Suffragan, or assistant bishops in the Episcopal Church, the others being the Rt. Rev. Edward Thomas Domby, Bishop Suffragan of Arkansas, and the Rt. Rev. T. Momolu Gardiner, Bishop Suffragan of the District of Liberia, West Africa. Bishop Delany was born at St. Mary's, Georgia, Feb. 5, 1858. He was sent to St. Augustine's School, Releigh, from Florida by the Rev. Dr. Lennuel Thackera of Fernandina when he was already a grown man. He had successfully piled the mason's trade up to this time, and he relinquished it with great hesitation to take up his course of preparation for the ministry. Having completed his course at St. Augustine's School, he became a teacher there, and was advanced by successive stages until he became vice-principal. Later he was called to be archdeacon of Negro work in the Diocese of North Carolina. This work in which he engaged until 1918 branched adorat his consecration in that year as Bishop Suffragan to include work among the Negroes throughout the Carolinas. Besides a wife, Bishop Delany's ten children also survive him. They are: Dr. Lemuel Thackara, who practices in Raleigh; Atty. Hubert T., one of the assistant U. S. district attorneys in New York; Doctors H. B. Jr., and Bessle; Sadle, Julia Luchus, Manross, Samuel and Laura, who live here. All the children have gone South for the funeral services. Investigations of Police Autocratic Hear Charges of Brutality and False Entry Behind Closed Doors The absolute autocracy of a police departmental investigation was most clearly excused during the trial of the Headquarters Thursday morning of charges of brutality and unlawful entry made by Francis E. Jones. 227 West 137th street, against Inspector Valentine's "Flying Squad." Members of the press, were excluded from the hearing, and even Mr. Jones' attorney, Demerald H. Williams, was told very courteously by Inspector Valentine, who conducted the investigation, that he was there only by courtesy and would not be allowed to cross-question the members of the accused squad. According to Attorney Williams, the hearing was very lengthy, Emanuel Howard, the arresting officer, was supported by the squad in his denial that they had made an unlawful entry, and also that he had struck the Inspector Jones on the mouth on Inspector Valentine's findings were not made known. Mr. Williams being told that he would be notified through Commissioner Warren of his decision regarding the charges. A case somewhat similar to Mr. Jones' is that of Annie Press and John Garrett, who were arrested during a raid at the Press Hotel, 23 West 135th street, on February 11. The case came up for trial last Tuesday morning in Part I of Special Feesions, at which time Attorney George E. Hall, 200 West 135th street, in cross-examining Detective Howard, forced him to retract a previous statement made by him that he had found "numbers" alim in Mrs. Press' and Garrett's possess ion. Judge Direnzo ruled that the evidence was insufficient and dismissed the two defendants. E Georgia Lee Gamble G.O..P. Delegates Fight Segregation Jim-Crow Rule Planned Despite Denials, It Is Charged WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16—Plans for the segregation of Negro delegates who will attend the Republican national convention in Kansas City in June are being carried out, despite denials to the contrary, according to a letter transmitting to members of the Republican national committee contracts for hotel accommodations for their delegations. Charles F. Curry, secretary of the local committee on housing arrangements, advised the national committee that the contracts he enclosed did not include arrangements for the accommodation of Negro delegates. Mr. Curry told the national committeemen that if there are any Negroes in their delegations, they should forward their names to him so that he could turn them over to a committee of local Negroes that has charge of the housing of them. Benjamin J. Davis, Republican national committeeman of Georgia, has written Conrad Mann, chairman of the local committee, that he and the other delegates from his state, comprising eleven of Georgia's sixteen delegates, would expect accommodations equal in all respects to those of white delegates and that "rooms with bath and telephone were wanted." A copy of this letter was forwarded to William M. Butler, chairman of the Republican national committee. At previous conventions there has been no segregation. In seeking the convention, Mr. Mann promised Mr. Davis and Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, when he solicited their votes for Kansas City that, there would be no segregation and that they would be able to obtain any kind of hotel accommodations for which they were able to pay. Charged With Hurling Woman Out Window Alexander Farley, 37. 2676 Eighth avenue, is charged by the police with having thrown Mrs. Ella Johnson, 221 West 141st street, out of the second floor window of her home early last Sunday morning. The alleged assault occurred during an altercation between Farley and Mrs. Johnson. She landed in the courtyard and was removed to Harlem Hospital, where it was found she was not serious and captured. Detective Burrell of the West 135th station arrested Farley on a charge of felonious assault and when he was arraigned Monday before Magistrate Vitale in Harlem Court he was held in $2,000 bail for a further hearing. Hange Self in Call WILMINGTON, Del., April 16.—Wilson Stigger, 24, of Newark, Del., feared death by hanging as the penalty for an attack last Wednesday night on Katherine Carlton, 18-year-old white telephone operator, so last Tuesday morning he hanged himself with his holt in his cell in the Elkton, Md., Jail. Stigger was one of three men arrested in connection with the crime. Entered as second-place matter Dec. 19, 1909, at the Post Office at New York under the Act of March 2, 1879.

He is 132 years old. His name is Joseph. Daily he attends to his duties as gardener of the Terra Sanda Church, strolls around the yard tending the flowers without the aid of cane, talks but little, has no cares or worries, yet his well-being and the state of his health recently were the subject of inquiry at the request of the King of England.

His name to his duties as gardener of is around the yard tending the talks but little, has no cares and the state of his health re- ry at the request of the King prus is under British rule. Joseph was examined by two physicians and organically he was declared to be in sound health and has the prospect of living at least ten years more. His sight is impaired by the presence of a double cataract; he is virtually deaf, although he can hear if the speaker talks directly into his ear; he has only three teeth, but as his gums have hardened and are now virtually perferted he is able to mastulate his food and has no digestive trouble. Joseph, who still remembers a few outstanding incidents in his life, recalls Napoleon, whose conquests, reign and ruin all took place before Joseph had reached his twenty-first birthday. The ancient Negro was born in 1786, three years before George Washington died. When Edgar Van Doe died in Baltimore at the age of 28 Joseph was "getting long in years." He would be 50 on his next birthday. When Joseph was born virtually nothing had happened in the way of modern industrial development and the sciences. Joseph speaks Greek, the language of the island, but for a number of years his words have been very few, according to the report of those who recently visited him. He is not able to relate his history, and he can recall only a few incidents in his life. The heads of the Church of Terra Sanda, however, know his history from past narratives told by the old Negro, and in placing those together they have been able to reconstruct something of the history of their ancient ward.

It is possible that Campo Bello, a race horse, is "running yet," like some of the horses race track fans bet on and never get "in the money," according to the testimony of Salvatore Cebell, white, 139-10 Liberty avenue, Jamala, in the Queens County Court on Monday, April 9, when he appeared against Sergeant McKee, a horse trainer. He accused McKee of stealing the horse. According to Cebell, he bought the race horse at auction for $100 on July 27, 1927, at the Empire Track in Yonkers. He hired McKee to take the horse to the various tracks and race it under the name of Campo Bello. Cebell, it was understood, was to pay for transportation and feed and McKee was to be the trainer. On the witness stand Cebell stated that he never heard of the horse being entered, running or winning a race. He got a warrant for McKee. After visiting a number of race tracks, detectives located McKee at a track in Maryland, but Campo Bello was not to be found. McKee was held on a charge of grand larceny. --- WIFE AND WOMAN IN QUADRANGLE Medical School Graduate, Miss Georgia Gamble— ta Mu Fraternity hard may have had nothing on enth avenue, in the opinion of West 132d street, who had him Monday on a charge of being baby boy.

He is a member of the Chi Delta Mu Fraternity, and is prominently known in New York and Palm Beach social circles. In the course of a colorful career in college, he met, courted and married the charming Ruth Foster, a member of a prominent family of Boston and Washington, D.C., during his sophomore year. The exact date was June 11, 1922. This marriage was finally annulled during the early part of last month, and Miss Foster is now residing at 103 West 141st street. When interviewed Monday evening, she stated rather plainly that Dr. Darthard had often told her, before their marriage was annulled that he would much prefer to have a wife who was a college graduate, but "as soon as he got our annulment papers he turned around and married another 'Ruthie,' and the joke of it is, that she is not a colloquy graduate." The Ruthie referred to by Miss Foster is the present Ruth Hinton Darthard, to whom the accused physician was married three weeks ago today by the Rev.

This correspondent states that the declaration made against Negroes and Italians by former Premier William Hughes of Australia was only the sentiment of an impulsive individual.

TWO Mr. Hughes was quoted recently as having said that Australia should be conserved exclusively for the Anglo-Saxon race, that she should not permit such an alarming invasion of Italians and Negrons. The dispatch confirms this statement and proceeds to report that General Neville Howse, an Italian delegate to the Nationalist Party Convention then taking place at Sydney, Australia, made a valid retort at one of the party forums deploying the former Premier's statement, and declaring that it was a direct insult to the people of two nations who fought side by side with Great Britain as her allies during the late World War. He is also reported to have offered to resign from the convention unless the Nationalist Party reproved Mr. Hughes for his declaration. Replying for "White Australia," continues the dispatch, Mr. Hughes retracted his previous utterances and made a modified statement to the effect that he had not meant to infer that the Italian people were inferior to the Britishers; that he merely meant that the immigration of so many races to Australia made it impossible to maintain a homogeneous group with its consequent increase in opportunities for work and stabilization of a higher scale of salaries. In its conclusion, the correspondent's report states that the Australian element attending the Nationalist Party Convention issued a reprimand to Mr. Hughes charging him with having acted in an unofficial capacity; that he had exhibited a lack of political pose and tact, and lastly, that his declaration was one of his own impulsive machinations and not one expressed by the Government. Oldest Man in World (Continued from Page 1) of the nineteenth century Joseph was kidnapped as a child from Darfour, near Sudan, Africa, and was sold into Egypt, where a large slave traffic was then conducted. He remembers Ibnbareh Pasha, the son of the leader of Egypt, Mohammed All, who was in charge of the expedition against Greece in 1827, and who was defeated by the combined navies of England, France and Russia at the Battle of Navarro. --- Joseph was bought by a pirate boat which at that time was sailing in the Mediterranean, and which brought him from Egypt to Cyprus, where he was resold, and where he also obtained his liberty like all other Africans. In 1863, when Joseph was 67 years old, he was baptized by a priest who converted him to Catholicism and gave him his name. Joseph remembers the hanging of many Greeks on the island by the Turks in 1821, when the Greeks first revolted against Turkey. Until recently he was able to give the names of his mother and father and to repent the name of the King of Darfour, Ariston.

Walter White Returns to U. S. JOHN B. HARRIS WALTER WHITE, now on leave of absence from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, while holding a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, returned to New York on the S.S. Frances, Wednesday, April 11. Mr. White has been at work since leaving the United States for France last July upon two books, one, a social study of lynching and mob violence, and the other a novel. Mr. White has returned to the United States in order to devote a part of the time of his fellowship to a first hand survey of certain conditions in the United States which he is covering in his book on lynching. Since the fellowship provides for travel and study he wishes to gather additional data and confirm other data, particularly on the economic background of lynching. Mrs. White and the children have remained in France as it is probable that Mr. White will return before the end of his fellowship. Attempt to Freeze Negro Ice Dealers Harlem's twenty colored ice men have raised a protest against the tactics of an Italian combine who seek to shut them out at the ice houses. "The big three" of them is said to have told the Colonial ice Company that they would withdraw their business, said to amount to about 12,000 cakes of ice a week, if the Colonial served any new Negro ice dealers. Negro ice dealers fear that if they withdraw from one wholesale ice company in protest, other wholesale companies may refuse to serve them. The twenty men given a "cold deal" by the wholesale dealers plan to organize, and ask greater support from the Negro public in Harlem. Robert J. Nelson, B. F. Morrison, John D. Gafney and Dr. Scott.

New Anti-Lynching Bill Introduced New Anti-Lynching Bill Introduced Penalizes Mobbist Sheriff and County in Which Crime Occurs WASHINGTON, April 16 (PNS) —At each turn of the road some honest-minded American has the courage of his convictions to endeavor to do something to erase one of this country's vilest blots off its reputation map. The latest effort to make America safe for democracy is a new anti-lynching bill which would make it a felony to take part in a mob attack or for a State officer to permit a prisoner to be taken from him, was introduced in the House of Representatives Thursday by Representative Victor Berger of Wisconsin. The measure would also penalize the county in which the mob attack occurred. Participation in a mob attack would be punishable by imprisonment from one to five years or a fine of $5,000 or both. An officer who failed to protect a prisoner could be punished by imprisonment from two to ten years or a fine of not more than $10,000, or both. A county in which a homicide or injury was committed as the result of such an attack would be penalized $10,000, with the sum to be used by the person injured or by his family should be killed in the attack. To enforce payment of the judgment against the county' the United States District Court would levy execution upon any of the county's property or "take such other steps as may be deemed necessary, and proper." It is claimed that when this measure comes up before the House it will be attacked chiefly upon the grounds that it is an encroachment of the theory of States' rights. Dr. C. E.

Of course, the one who is causing all the trouble is the alluring Georgia Lee Gamble, who halls from West Palm Beach, Fla., and who stated when interviewed Monday afternoon that she came to New York City with her mother, last August, at the instigation of Dr. Darthard, whom, she claims, told her that he was going to have his marriage to Miss Foster annulled and that in time he would marry her. "He paid all of my expenses," she said, "and even got me this apartment. Later, when the time approached for my baby to be born, he went to the Knickerbocker Hospital, registered as my husband, secured accommodations for me, and did not forget to foot the bills. "However," she further states, "when the baby was born he refused to come to see it, and since that time he has not contributed a single penny toward its nourishment. I threatened to cause him some trouble, and he then used some ruse to get Miss Foster out of the house. RING and MA Another great Silver triumph!

Miss Gamble returned, to her apartment with her baby after the two weeks' period was up and saw Dr. Darthard only intermittently until a week before his marriage, when she saw him for the last time. She claims to have had no knowledge of his second marriage until after the affair had taken place. She states further that on the very day on which it occurred Dr. Darthard's sister, Augustn, came to her apartment to visit her. Miss Foster feels very bitter toward him because, she says, "I assisted him to go through college. I invited him to life; I plowed on the very apartment in which he is living; furnished it; arranged parties for his benefit, so that he could meet all of the worth-while people in New York, and this is what I get." Miss Gamble also feels resentful if for no other reason than the fact that her baby, a beautiful, clear-eyed lad, has no father, and most in later years face the world alone with a mantle of shame and disgrace hanging over him for which he was not to blame. Miss Gamble furthermore needs to have Dr. Darthard are resented as a Manu Act violator. Miss Gamble says that she met Dr. Darthard in Palm Beach when he came there from Tuskegee Institute Hospital, where he served his internship. Self-Defense Plea Frees Two Bronx Men A plan of self-defense won the dismissal of William Jackson, 45, janitor at 770 Jackson avenue, and Edward Smith, 26, 862 Caldwell avenue, a palater, who appeared in Night Court Friday before Magistrate Well on complaint of Nathan Savetsky, white, 815 East 101st street, who said that Smith struck him on the head with a hammer while Jackson beat him with his fists during an argument. Smith testified that Savetsky met him six months ago and tried to sell him some junk and when he refused to bargain with him, Savetsky became angry and struck him in the face. He met Savetsky several times after that, he said, and each time he was threatened. When he met him Friday afternoon Savetsky struck him first, Smith sald, and he struck back in self-defense but did not use a hammer. Although the two men protested that Savetsky was the offender, Patrolman Fitzmaurice of the Morrisland station placed them under arrest. A white woman testified in their favor. Attempted Rape Alleged Charged with attempted rape and violation of the Suillman Law, James Wilbert, 28, 1963 Third avenue, was held in $2,000 ball for the Grand Jury on the first charge and in $500 for Special Sessions on the second charge, when arraigned before Magistrate Silberman in Heights Court, Friday.

The accused men gave their names as William F. Jenkins, 49, 67 East 101st street; Alfred Harvey, 29, 54 East 101st street, and William Doumars, 37, 1340 Park avenue. They were arrested in their homes by Detectives Quaile and Cosgrove of the East 104th street station. According to the story told in court by the police, the four men were engaged in a crap game on the night of April 5. They became involved in a dispute and the game broke up. The four men walked through 101st street, and in front of No. 62 East Jenkins is alleged to have struck Sidburtz a violent blow in the face with his clenched fat, knocking him to the ground. His head struck the sidewalk and he was rendered unconscious. While he lay prostrate on the sidewalk, the three men it is charged kicked Sidburtz about the head and body. The three men ran away and made their escape. Passsby picked up Sidburtz and carried him to a nearby drug store, where he was revived And he was then taken home, where he was confined to bed until April 9, when his condition became serious and he was removed to Harlem Hospital.

Preacher Told to Tone Down Noise at Service Soft-pedal ecstasy will be the tempo of the religious vorheer after at Christ Church, 109 West 131st street, where nobles "like the jungles of Africa" are said to have emitted nightly from 5 o'clock to midnight and from 2 to 4 every afternoon, according to Alexander Peterson, 73, who lives next door to the church at 107. On Friday he had the pastor, the Rev. Alfred Winans, in Heights Court on a summons before Magistrate Silberman, who asked the preacher if he was conducting a church or running a cabaret. Peterson told the magistrate that a maddening dh was made by guitarists, banjos, tambourines, pianos and loud singing, shouting and dancing. The preacher was damnified with a warning to tone down the congregation's religious enthusiasm and to get rid of all other musical instruments except the piano. WOMEN FREED IN 63D STREET MURDER Alleeen Evans, 342 St. Nicholas avenue, and May Bowman, 235 West Sixty-third street, who were arrested last week in connection with the mysterious murder of one John Wesley in an apartment 223 West Sixty-third street on April 5, were dismissed for lack of evidence when they were arraigned for a hearing in Homicide Court last Wednesday. Detectives are still searching for a man said to have been in the apartment at the time that Wesley was stabbed to death. "Yes, we had some hot times to that h--- hole," said Anna Hammond, 22, as she testified in a defiant and matter-of-fact manner during her trial for prostitution and violation of the Sullivan Law, which was held Friday morning in Part I of Special Sessions. Judges Dhrenzo, Fetthornt and Nolain listened nonchalantly to her story, then, just as nonchalantly, sentenced her to an indefinite term in the penitentiary. Miss Hammod, who is also known under the aliases of Anna Gireen and Anna Station, was arrested on February 9 in a rear apartment at No. 317 West Fort-ary street on the complaint of Marie Brown, residing at the above address, who told the arresting officer that a woman has threatened to shoot me if I continued to steal her cellphone." The defendant, who formerly made her home at 327 West Fortieth street, told the court that she and Marle Brown and several other women whom she did not name had been working as white-slaves for a mysterious janitor whom she referred to as James and whom, she said, had forced them, under threat of bodily injuries, to earn a certain stipulated amount each night. Police are now searching for the mysterious white-slayer. Dr. Woodson to Speak for the esley The principal speaker at the West 135th street branch of the Y. M. C.

L. Foster, H. R. George, John M. Royall, Roy Lancaster and Others on Program Spirited addresses of constructive criticism by prominent Negro business men of the community characterized the mass meeting Sunday afternoon at the closing of the "Bigger and Better Negro Business Week," sponsored by the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity at Mother A.M.E. Zion Church, where Jesse Lewis, professor of economics at Howard University made the principal address in place of C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, who could not be present on account of illness. Attorney H. Eustace Williams, chairman of the committee, presided, and the Rev. J. W. Brown, pastor of the church, pronounced the invocation and benediction. Prof. Lewis spoke on "The Three C's of Business," which he said were (1) Capability, or a complete and intense knowledge of the particular business you may go into; (2) Confidence, without which one cannot succeed in business, adding that the Negro can do anything other group can do; (3) Character, "the absolute of individuality" and moral courage. As an indispensable aid to the three C's, Prof. Lewis said one must also possess the qualities of honesty, punctuality and thoroughness. In closing the speaker said that the Negro can only attain equality through economic power. Miss Cornella Dickerson sang a soprano solo that was truly a vocal delight. Seven other speakers gave five minute talks on various subjects, the first of which was "Negro Insurance," by L. L. Foster, district manager of the Victory Life Insurance Company, who spoke of insurance being among the safest of investments for business enterprises. Speaking on "Negro Real Estate in Harlem," John M. Royall, realtor said that investment money cost the Negro more to borrow than the white man, thus making it extremely difficult for them to raise money with which to purchase property. "I tell you frankly that I would not put a cent in a Negro bank here," said H. R. George, president of an investment company that bears his name. "First the Negro must bring me efficiency, courage, resourcefulness, and a fortification of knowledge in that line. And unless the Negro uses cheese qualities he will stagnate. "There are young men in this community with billion dollar brains but have no opportunity because they are all lazy. The Negro is morally shot to pieces; your condition is deplorable. What is the Negro doing with his education? When he comes out of school he comes back to a den of corruption. I'll get on the stand any day and prove that the white man is an perior!" Mr. George concluded. A paper on "Organized Capital, the Negro's Need" was read by R. R. "BILL" Wright, in which he stated that the Negro needs money for his emancipation and that there should be an accumulation of Negro wealth into a national reservoir upon which thousands of them might draw for the purpose of exploiting their best opportunities. Alderman Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age, who spoke on the subject of "Negro Newspapers in New York City," said, "The Negro press must stand for the best and its editors should be men of the best character." Alderman Moore stressed the need of Negroes patronizing their own enterprises and deplored the fact that Negroes are not in a greater variety of businesses in Harlem. The subject of "The Negro Lawyer in America" engaged the interest of the audience through Atty. W. T. Andrews Jr., who said that Negro business firms should have an attorney on their staffs to effect an economy to the business in legal batters. The results of a national survey now being conducted to determine the standing of the Negro lawyer in America will be of vital importance, the speaker declared. "The Pullman Porters' Union" was a subject of terror enlightenment by Roy Lancaster, secretary-treasurer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, who stated that membership in the organization numbers 7,500 out of the total number of 10,400 porters. He stated that 4,600 ballots have been received to date on a strike vote taken by the porters ten days ago and that there were only 26 dislapping votes among this number. The Brotherhood is now endeavoring to help President Cookide appoint an Emergency Board to force the Pullman Company to come to an understanding with the Brotherhood, he said. "Don't fool yourselves," he admitted, "the porters will strike it necessary and that's no joke. The porters mean business." Mr. Lancaster then stated that the Democratic National Convention, the Shriners' Convention, the Rotary Club Convention, are about to take place and that many tourist organizations are going to Yellowstone Park and the West. All these are withholding reservations with the Pullman Company pending the outcome of the Brotherhood's fight, he said, and a Pullman porters' strike, therefore, would entail the loss of perhaps a million dollars. Virginian to Die PETERSBURG, Vn., April 16— (NNS) Burn. Vary was sentenced to die in the electric chair on May 18 by Judge Mullen following an order from the Virginia Supreme court of Appeals British Guiana Physician Here Has Spent Eight Months in England Studying Tropical Diseases British Guiana Physician Here Has Spent Eight Months in England Studying Tropical Diseases By EDGAR T. ROUZEAU. "Whew!" exclaimed Dr. E. W. Reece of British Gulana, as he gazed with admiration at an Eighth avenue "L" train as it thundered past with its screeching roll. It was his first visit to New York City. Dr. Reece, who holds the position of government expert on tropical diseases in British Gulana, is stopping in the city—on route to his homeland—for a two weeks' visit following a period of eight months spent in London, during which time he specialized in disease and ailments peculiar to the Torrid Zone, at the London Medical College. In an interview, he said that the island of Demarara (trade name for British Gulana) has shown more progress in the last few years than any other island of its size on the map. "What is the size and population of British Gulana?" he was asked. "In size it is about the same as New York State, and is populated by a little more than 300,000 inhabitants. Of this number, approximately 99 per cent are Negroes." "How much of a representation does this majority hold in the affairs of government?" he was next asked. "As you will understand," he replied, "British Gulana is subjected to the same 'home rule' under which all British possessions are controlled. The Governor and the heads of all of the principal governmental departments are whites; but most all of their immediate assistants are colored with the exception of the Lieutenant Governor." In conclusion, he reveals that only professional men holding a British diploma are permitted to practice in British Gulana. During the past week Dr. Reece has been the recipient of many social courtesies extended to him by former residents of British Gulana. He is the guest of Atty. Demerald H. Williams, 200 West 135th street Jailed on Arrival in England as Stowaway A copyright dispatch from the Herald Tribune's London Bureau tolls of arrival Thursday of Frank Byrd, 21, 309 East 147th street on the Cunard liner Berengaria as a stowaway. Byrd was received with full honors and given the keys to the Southampton jail—going in—where he will be entertained on bread and water for fourteen days. Modishly dressed in pearl spats, a solgne purple suit, a velours hat, yellow snede shoes, sauterne chamois gloves, a pink shirt, claret cravat and a lavender topcoat. Byrd was detected by the purser the second day out. Foreigners aboard thought he was on Indian prince or at least an equestry of King Ammanulah of Afghanistan. Even the purser was impressed by the dusky passenger's swank wardrobe and ordered a cautious search of Byrd's effects, which disclosed only a brief case stuffed with complimentary steamer letters from the Harlem elite, but no ticket, passport or stateroom ticket. When searched Byrd had only five cents in his possession. Byrd seems to have enjoyed the trip immensely and regrets only his failure to comply with the "formalities." 4 Indictments Against Nest Cabaret Bandits Two indictments for robbery, one for felonious assault and one for violation of the Sullivan Law were returned by a Grand Jury early last week against the Youngstown, O. crime quintet that hold up and shot up the Nest Club Cabaret, 169 West 133d street, on the morning of March 28. The prisoners are George Davis, 28, 289 West, 140th street; Arthur Bennett, 25, 322 West 145th street; Van Harris, 22; Mac Brown, 28, and Gladys Bennett, 20, all of 124 West 135th street. All five denied ball. Patrolmen Johnson and Mahonoy risked their lives in arresting three of the bandits at the scene of the crime, where a white patron of the Nest Club was shot in the foot and William "Dude" Adams, the manager, was rapped on the head with a gun. The alleged thieves were identified by about eight complaintants, who were said they wore victims of their banditry.

HARRIS Charles Satchell Morris Jr., scholar and orator, will be the principal speaker at Abyssinian Baptist Church Sunday evening at 7:45 o'clock. Mr. Morris is the oldest son of the Rev. Dr. Charles Satchell Morris Sr., who served as the pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church for many years. He is a graduate of the University of Chicago, holds a master of arts degree from Columbia University, and at present is a candidate for the degree of doctor of philosophy. Mr. Morris has addressed vast throngs of both races in every section of the United States. Recently he spoke at Flora McDonald College for white women at Red Springs, N. C., and at Croker College for white women at Hartsville, S. C. A special musical program has been arranged for the event under the auspices of James H. Page, the bishop of the Abyssinian Baptist Church chapel. The Clayton Powell, pastor of the church, on whose invitation Mr. Morris is speaking, will introduce him. WAITER FREED OF DIVORCEE'S CHARGE Edward Baldwin, 211 West 140th street, a diving car waiter employed by the Pennsylvania railroad, was freed from the complaints made against him by Mrs. Kathleen Mabson, white, 174 West Seventy-sixth street, the divorced wife of a wealthy hotel owner, Thursday by Magistrate Well. The plaintiff declared that several letters were written to her by the defendant declaring his undying love, although they had never met. It was brought out at hearing, however, that she accepted his telephone calls and letters, and owing to this acceptance the defendant made his approaches. He assorts that he told her that he was colored. With the formation of the New York State Colored Republican Conference, in Brooklyn Saturday night's start has been made that seeks to have as its ultimate end the formation of a formidable state organization of Negro Republicans in New York State. The idea of Saturday night's conference originated with the King County Colored Republican Organization, of which Frank H. Gilbert is president, and Louise M. Fayerweather, one of New York State's alternates-at-large to the Republican Convention at Kansas City, vice president. It was held in the Fayerweather Studio, 426 Herkimer street, the headquarters of the Brooklyn republicans, and the original call was limited to the five boroughs of Greater New York and Westchester County. Present were: Mrs. Christine Maura, a delegate to the National Republican Convention from Thirteenth Assembly District, Manhattan; A. B. Chirchlow and former Alderman George W. Harris, Twenty-first A. D., Manhattan; Mrs. Anna V. Barnes, Mrs. Insole and F. Burton, Queens County; Paul H. Bray, Westchester, and Stephen B. Mayo, Frank H. Gilbert, Mrs. Fayerweather, George E. Wilcoe and Charles T. Magill, Kings County. A temporary organization, with Charles Magill as chairman, was organized and the matter of outside representation conducting the national campaign here in New York was discussed. The temporary organization will go into a permanent one later on Saturday, April 28, when it will meet again in the rooms of the Association of Trade and Commerce, 2370 Seventh avenue. At that time an attempt will be made to have update representation as well as representation from the many different factions which make up the party in Harlem. The matter of a Negro Congressman brought long discussion at Saturday night's conference. The shame of Illinois in electing a white man as the Congressional candidate in an almost entirely Negro belt was pointed out. The forcing of the nomination of a Negro here will be one of the aims of the newly formed organization. After Mrs. Sadie Bookhard, 23, 126 West 129th street, had positively identified him Thursday as the ringleader of a gang which abducted and attacked her, Frederick Jordan, 24, 16 West 119th street, waved examination before Magistrate Brough in Harlem Court on a serious charge and was held without ball for the Grand Jury.

IRA A. McCOWAN, first Negro interne to enter the Harlem Hospital, came to New York from Ohio, where he received his schooling, having finished the Ohio State University Medical School in June, 1925. He was appointed in January, 1926, to the Harlem Hospital after having passed the regular competitive internes' examination. He served two years of internship and on December 31, 1928, was appointed house surgeon. Later the medical boards of Bellevue and Harlem Hospitals respectively appointed him to the higher position of resident obstetrician. Dr. McCowan has now opened an office for private practice at 1947 Seventh avenue, near 118th street. Arthur G. Brooks, 49, 205 West 128th street, is confined to a bed in the St. Joseph's Hospital in a serious condition, is reported. According to Mrs. Brooks, he has been in that institution for four weeks suffering from lung trouble. Liberian Senator Here on Visit Liberian Senator Here on Visit That Liberia, in a business and financial sense, can now view the future with more confidence and less apprehension is the opinion of Senator W. V. S. Tubman, of the republic of Liberia, who arrived in New York last Wednesday on the first leg of a recreational tour. The senator gave out many interesting sidelights on the Liberian situation when interviewed at 36 Edgecombe Avenue, where he is residing, but made it plain that despite many disadvantages he saw no danger to his country. "Our chief drawback," he said, "is getting the people to understand each other. The language of the Government is English, but Liberia's 1,500,000 inhabitants speak several hundreds of dialects. This problem is now being solved by the government, which has of late only appointed as chiefs of tribes those who are able to read and write the English language. It is he, then, who is held responsible for the interpretation of the orders of the government to his people. "These tribe cheftains do not get a stipulated salary, but are allowed five per cent of all the taxes levied on his tribe. "Negroes hold all of the important government positions with the exception of two or three, which have been created by our loan agreement with the New York City Bank. We also have an American financial advisor, who, although appointed by the United States, is nevertheless subject to confirmation by President Kling and the Libarian Senate. "The Firestone interests have invested very heavily in Liberia, and their huge rubber plants furnish occupation to several thousands of natives.

Sonator Tubman plans to attend the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which he attended to convone in Kansas City, Mo., on May 12. He will then return to New York until June 15, at which time, he says, he will proceed on a tour of European countries. Would Like to See Son Before He Dies The Rev. J. H. Crow, reported dying at his home in Dunn, N. C., would like to see his son, John Henry Crow Jr., before he succumbs. Johu is 22 years old, tall of stature and of a light brown complexion. He left his home six years ago, going first to Philadelphia, then to Newark and lastly to New York, from where he wrote home for the last time last September. Persons knowing of his whereabouts should immediately notify the Missing Persons Bureau of the Police Department. To Probe Slaying of Chicago Attorney CHICAGO, April 16.—(PNS)—Decent people of this city have finally become fully airborne and have decided to make a thorough investigation into the recent atrocities which have disgraced the city. The most active investigation, that of the city and county, centered on the murder of Alty, Octavius Granady, a ward committeeman candidate, who was assassinated Tuesday. Granady was killed ten minutes after the polls closed by seven men, who drove his car to the curb and riddled his body with fifty machine gun bullets. He was defeated in the primary by Morris Eller, who, authorities say, will be called for questioning. The Chicago Bar Association, of which Granny was a member, took an active part in the selection of a coroner's jury. The Bar Association is taking an active part in the city and county wide investigation into the alleged ballot-box stuffing, stealing of votes, intimidation at the polls and other forms of violence in connection with election frauds.

Pioneers in the Return of Intelligent Entertainment in Harlem STX "The Unborn" Being Presented at the Lincoln This Week MRS. DOWNS A PIONEER Always Sought to Help Raise Tone of Community by Taking Initiative An audience reaching right up to the rafters at the Lincoln Theatre on Monday afternoon gave "The Unborn" as presented by the Ida Anderson Players a warm and roaring welcome that made the people of the company feel so appreciated they are offering, which will be one of the biggest so far attempted. That play is "Within The Law," one of the strongest dramas of modern times and one which is guaranteed to make any audience go wild as it will when presented as it certainly will be at Mrs. Downs' theatre. The owner of the New Lincoln Theatre emphatically denied the rumor which was apparently gathing ground to the effect that she was planning to change the people presenting the dramatic sketches within the next few weeks. Those knowing the charming owner of the 135th street theatre did not believe the rumor that she was out, for she had personally shown the appreciative of the sacrifices being made by the performers to put on something which her audiences seem to like so well. It would not surprise many people in the community if at some future date the plans of a number of well known citizens of Harlem to tender this lady a testimonial because known earlier than at first planned. Mrs. Downs has been a pioneer in the development of a certain attachment to the community, and the intelligent people here are not at all blind to her virtues. A prominent and successful business man the other day suggested that it would be a wonderful thing if he could present future, for one week if no more should augment her present company and put on a big show—just the show and possibly a picture, this to be in the nature of a celebration for the occasion, to munity the first attempt to present the drama. Lincoln Theatre audiences would be immensely pleased, if one should judge by the manner in which they have received the performance, a gala one in the vicinity of the place from whence came the first real move for what any intelligent person would admit to be a more wholesome form of entertainment. And time denied it in those theatres catering to Negroes in Harlem. A representative of this paper in an interview with Mr. Robert Levy, the man who started the drama on a larger scale at the Lafayette Theatre, brought Mr. Levy that the Quality Amusement Corporation was meeting with success up to the time the company was taken over by the E. C. Brown interests. This information coming from Mr. Levy speaks better for the efforts of Mrs. Downs than anything else that can be said at this time.

Tutt Whitney are trying to ballyhoo is to the effect that the once well-known comedian was drugged in his memorable battle with Theophilus (Battling Kid) Lewis, who experts of the game now claim, could have put Whitney out in the early rounds of the fight, but took almost flendish glee in punishing the actor. It is also pointed out that Lewis repeatedly feinted Whitney into leaving himself open at vulnerable points, but the actor proved himself a glutton for punishment. A correspondent of The Amsterdam News, in a letter to the sporting editor this week, pointed out what he calls an instance of Whitney not being himself. "The first words uttered by Whitney when he came to in his dressing room, remarks the writer, was to ask John Howell, the actor (Mr. Miller) take a filer in the sense. Any man in his right senses, especially an actor, should know that he leaves himself open to dialogue in asking Mr.yles parties or people would take a man who has earned his livelihood as a comedian for twenty-five years seriously if he essayed the art dramatic? Looks to me as if Whitney is just as wooxy and the crowd in the ninth round when the crowd realized he was due to go." In a battle such as that engaged in by Lewis and Whitney a cry has always been been raised when a once unbeaten boy goes grashing a man to defeat. It will be questioned that Whitney Britt claimed he hurt his ulna bone in the battle with Joe Gans. Supporters of Jeffries claim that he was dragged in the fight with Whitney, but he claimed he was fouled in his battle with Uncle Same, and Dempsey claims he was the victim of a raw deal in the "Battle of the Long Count." Some of the men seconding Whitney claim that he was willed, but that he was sullen in his training quarters for weeks before the battle. They also claim that the dramatic editor of the erudite magazine smoke of Melchino cigarette into Whitney's face the night of the fight, which was a shock to the comedian, as he had always heard the editor boast that he "smoked his property, so that if ad versity came he would not miss the better brands." In the meantime, Lewis has been taking things easy. He came out of the fight without a scratch and after the life of a big party the right after the party, he has been pouring in on the young champion ever since the battle, and offers have been coming in from all parts of the country for him to appear on the stage. Chappy Gardner, taking seriously the job of the canon, has been an "official theatrical guide" when it called him a dramatic critic, has issued a challenge to the champion when he (Chappy) cited the many things which helped to make him a champion, he appeared with Brown and De Monte ONCE (get the once), and did a lot of other things which should make newspaper owners sorry for not placing him on a regular salary. Perhaps Chappy will be a sympathetic newspaper owner will let him advertise it in payment for writing a couple columns weekly in payment. Lewis' manager laughed heartily when he read Chappy's challenge and asserted that the boy, which is no guide at all, at all, was simply seeking a loser's end and would be ignored. In a statement to the Associated Negro Press Association Lewis said he was willing to give Whitney a return battle, as it did not appear as if there were any fighters left that would be able to fight Bob Edgern, in this morning's New York World, claimed that the battle between Whitney and Lewis was an exhibition of science pitted against brute force. "The scientific display by Kid Lewis in the roped arena," said Edgern, was a thing of art: "Nobody knew what he was doing and Jack Johnson has a fighter displayed the all-around ability of the kid. He picked Whitney's blows from the air beautifully and uncannily sensed every move of the heavier and older man. He slipped Whitney like a veteran and what few punches he had no effect, as he was either going away at the time or rode with the blows." "In the seventh and eighth rounds he had Whitney swinging like a gate. The footwork of the new King Tut, who sought a way out of trying to foul Lewis in the tenth and last round. A return fight be- P. LAWRENCE CHENAULT. to Join the Ida Anderson Player Hey Claim Comedian in Battle With Lewis between the two would be but a repetition of the first, as Whitney is not in a class with Lewis." In the meantime, Humbert Fugazy and Tex Richard are making a play for the staging of a battle between Lewis and "Billboard" Jackson, but Ardell Dougherty has Lewis signed up to a long contract and to a deal he would contract a great deal of interest, he does not believe that Jackson is desirous of entering the ring with Lewis. Out in Chicago some well-meaning but misguided actor friends of Sylvester Russell created a lightweight by announcing the intention of growing Russell for a big comeback. At his best, Russell could not cope with such a fighter as Lewis, and followers of the game refuse to seriously consider Russell as an opponent for the greatest lightweight since Joe Piscifetti. He says a titter of merriment was that of former Chicago Defender writer, who is known to have thrown every fight in which he engaged, telling some friends he could put up a better battle than Whitney. They say shows weeks before they appeared in Chicago. They claim he had his accounts of these offerings ready before they even started rehearsals and they were all good. Judging from his accounts, not a bum show played Chicago when he was in Chicago, but a bum show so-called big burg of the profession have taken to cover. Even Floyd Calvin, who used to shout for what he called "Art or Nudity," is maintaining a discreet silence. Floyd is the boy who'll try anything once, and he won't dare go to certain theatre playing a colored show and announce his presence. Lewis will do light training to keep in shape in the event of a "hope" being uncovered within the next few months and in his spare time he recites for his friends that beautiful little ballad: Musing, musing, mellow musing: My, that boy is sure confusing When he's bruising, bruising With his lefts and rights. Snoozing, snoozing, always snoozing; Sometimes I'm up but now I'm down. Gee, that last blow was a hummer; Now he's made of me a bummer And I've lost my gilded crown.

The cast includes Juliette Wilson, Carl Nyo, Paul Panzer and Ervill Anderson. Ray Enright directed. This brilliant melodrama of the underworld is based on the story of Arthur Somers Roche and the scenario was executed by Graham Baker. It recounts the hair-raising adventures of a Southern girl, who leaves the city to pursue her dream and come to the city for the purpose of freeing her brother from the gang whose machinations have placed him in the shadow of the chair. "The Girl From Chicago" is one of the authentic melodramas which have power to hold the imaginations and the apaches of beavers, there is glamour too, and humor, and warm humanity. You'll be satisfied. Alhambra Girl Signs Life Contract to Obey There was a flutter of hearts among the sixteen dancers, famous as the Alhambra Girls, when it became known that one of their number had slipped over to Brooklyn Monday and returned a girl. It was none other than little Janet White, who with her cute Buster Brown bobbed hair looks more like a schoolgirl than a professional dancer. The happy young Edward Chaney clearly accepted to the marriage certificate, but known in the prize ring as "Kid" Purdy, Harlam bantamweight. The couple declare it was not an elopement—they just wanted a wedding companion, and at his home on Cathedral Parkway. And Janet is going right on as an Alhambra Girl. EVELYN HONORED IN BOSTON The "Hub City" is all agog today over the rare distinction shown Miss Evelyn Ellis of the Forgy company when the members of the Harvard Liberal Club singled her out for special honors. Miss Ellis was the guest of the child one last week and the students were enthusiastic over her work. The charming and modest little actress is another product of the former Lafayette Players which brought to Harlem the most promising era in the life of the theatre among Negroes.

The mystery play of last week is followed by a vigorous drama called "The Tempter" dealing with schemes of a crooked contractor who swindles the Government and attempts to victimize a society girl and secure the family jewels. J. Lawrence Criner plays the part of the contractor, the contractor Eda Thomas is the intended victim Edward Thompson the Government inspector of public works who thwarts the miscreant at every point. There is also the woman scorned, well played by Susie Sutton, and two ferocious allies of the contractor H. Moore and George Wiltshire. "Across the Border," the musical comedy, deals ludicrously with the troubles in Mexico and is especially well staged. It opens with pretty genetics all over the place.

Esther Ralston, as the girl, is the typical daughter of a hardy old sea captain of the days of 1804. Beautiful, striking and possessed of a charming personality, she is said to be a perfect selection for the role of the harbine. Wallace Beery is seen as a mate on the three-masted schooner "Ester." As a rough sailor of the seven seas he plays the part to perform the role of the gunner of the trigate "Constitution," is another perfect selection.

A quarter of a century ago we gasped in wonder at Chuck Counns as he informed the Bowyer with his derby tilt at a dangerous angle, which was long before the coming of William Travers Jerome, who made a memorable raid in what is now Greenwich Village and gave a certain underworld leader quite a stretch of time in durance vile. The roaring forces boasted of their untold pin. Harlem as we know it was not even in the making, but San Juan Hill held the center of the spotlight with the upper East Side making its bid. Myrtle and Hudson avenues in Brooklyn shared the glory of the day in gangdom, but it was to John Counnors and Pone's cabarres, known then as clubs, that Joe Gans came when in town. Yes sir, over a quarter of a century ago we also knew our Broadway, hence Miller and Lyle for having worked hard with a great measure of success or all that time. It was a bumper house that joined in making merry on the occasion of their celebration at Manhattan Casino last Saturday night, and no doubt they are the recipients of many telegrams of congratulation on their carrying on in an attempt to keep a phase of amusement before the fun-loving public of this country which has fallen upon ill days. With "Shuffle Along" they made their memorable hit at the head of a big company, nibbit for years they had, and in Chicago did yeoman service in those days when we were emerging from 135th street and the Crescent Theatre. Many have heard the call but few have been chosen to entertain in musical comedy on Broadway. The abortive attempts of many so severe a stage of presentation are history. But Miller and Lyie had their disappointments too. The ill fated "Darkydom" which they sponsored dled almost abiding right here in harlem, and while there are great hopes, "Keep Shuffling," their attempts attempt to be standing success as "Shuffle Along." Far far from it. But let us rise and give them a bond. They have wrought well in their sphere. They have always responded with alacrity to the call of charity. They have always made working conditions the very best for their people and they have always maintained a wholesome atmosphere in the剧院 where their shows have little find it hard to conceive quite a number of Negro newspapers have easily outdistanced the Negro actor in what is known as the Negro Theatre—in centers where colored houses cater to Negroes only, but those of us who can afford to look with contempt on what is being offered at certain places in Harlem, on Philadelphia's South street and Seventh street, Washington, are not at all dismayed because we find that the gentrisation recognizing just the boys' healthy sign. May the boys carry their twenty-five years and may they reach the pinnacle of the long departed Williams and Walker by achieving three successful musical comedies in succession. Colored and White Musical Comedy at Lafayette Next For the first time in two years, the management of the Lafayette Theatre has succeeded in booking Jimmie Cooper's Brown and White Musical Comedy. It will be shown as the popular Seventh avenue house for one week only beginning Monday, April 23. This company, we anticipate has been playing in the largest of the theatres throughout the country. The cast includes twenty-five colored and twenty-five white artists. The show is patterned after the manner in which Florenz Ziegfeld tages his shows; both colored and white entertainers following each other and working to-gether in dances, songs and comedy situations. The feature opusplay for the week will be "The Private Life of Helen of Troy" starting Maria Corda, Lewis Stone and Ricardo Cortoz.

This is really a beautiful city and, as the well-known team of Greenlee & Draynon will tell you, the German people certainly appreciate Negro talent. I believe Hamburg excels in many ways. To begin with, it has the most wonderful residential section I have ever seen, and one never think that this city, as well as Berlin, were ever affected, by the war. I have been very busy this month, but have tried to see as much as possible, and with being busy otherwise it has taken up most of my time. However, I merely wanted to drop you a line from here. From what I can understand, there are any number of Negro artist in or throughout Germany, and most of them are doing fine. At present Leon Abey and his band are doing a concert of Negro larger and theuest dance halls. Those boys have done very well indeed since arriving on this side and should continue to do well as long as they attend to business and deliver the goods. An sending you a clipping from Hamburg's leading daily, in which it speaks very nicely of not only us, but the Negro race in America as well. It only proves that the European people know and are well aware of the American Negro in every way. I have just heard from my friend Johnne Hudgins, who is still in Paris, but will close this week with the big Moulin Rouge Revue. He has been a tremendous success with this revue since early last November and now he has accepted a big offer to appear at the New Kit Kat Club in London in early April. He and his charming wife will be attending a concert for thequiet London Town. You will find hollow some late articles from the London Daily Express in regards to the popular Josephine Baker. In talking with a friend a few days ago who has been in Vienna recently, he said that Frau Baker is the biggest success seen in Vienna in years, and, regardless of the paper talk and prejudiced societies in Vienna, it has done nothing but make the people clamor all the more to see her. It is rumored that she appears in numburg this summer, and begins to get excited with anxiety to see this popular "dusky lady" (as the papers call her). In my London mail today I had a long letter from Herr Noble Sissie, who is finishing his music hall dates in Ireland and the North of England, and, judging from the press notices, he is sitting on the up and take notice. There is on doubt that he truly a fine artist as well as a good showman. His personal representative, Harold Tillotson, from American, has arrived in London, and is making things hum for the clever Sissie. We should be nearing something big announced shortly as to the future of Herr Sissie. The popular American team are booked in May in May at the Alkazar Cabaret. At present they have joined T. Elder Hearn's "Blackbird Revue" in England. I believe I read your comment some time ago in regards to poor Little Florence Mills being forgotten so soon, and I must say that I think it an absolute disgrace, especially since so much is believed to be wrong with them, the fund. Sonnething ought to be immediately in regard to putting a monument at her grave. Money should be taken from the fund in order that rose bushes and other flowers can be planted around her grave, so that at certain times every few months the flowers will bloom and her friends who may happen out to the cemetery (white and colored) will be remembered in a different way other than just merely talk. The other day, while standing in front of a book store, I saw a most wonderful photo of Miss Mills on the front of a book published in Germany of her life and on inquiry I was told that even though she never appeared in Germany she was well known and as apprehensive as any country a book published of her life has sold very fast. Still, in New York her friends haven't time to, or drive out to the cemetery and put a few flowers on her grave at least NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1928 News of Paris Three Eddies Still Hitting. LONDON, Eng.—The Three Eddies, who achieved such fame in "Blackbirds," have performed at the Stok, Kingway, this evening. In these they are great, achieving a united rhythm and tempo of an incredible speed.—London Performer. At Collins Music Hall. LONDON, Eng.—The Southern Serenaders (presented by Norris Smith and Frank Cumminger), fresh from their success at the London Pavilion, delighted everyone with their scene, "Tittle Days," with its fine vocalism and dancing. Connie Smith scored particularly with her exquisite rendering of "Swanes River," and, had time permitted, the audience would have liked a great deal more from this clever colored group.—A. V. W. Fldling the Chicago Defender. "J. Terner Layton and Tandy Johnstone, well-known randyville headliners, who have been meeting with phenomene in the London music halls, will open the Chicago theatre in Part of, of which they are the owners. This theatre compares in size with the Hip-pudrome in New York." The above note in the Chicago Defender must have been sent by a wag on pulling an April Fool joke on what was almost "The World's Greatest Weekly" and which had a desire to once a month. Believe me, it is all wrong. Romeo. Scott and Whalley are having a great season with their new revue. It means that they are constantly on the go. However, at this time they are both excited over the Grand National that takes place at Liverpool, England, on Friday. It is a great annual event in England at this time, and millions of fans are there and won. America is trying to win the big prize again this year, also France, but England says "No." Included you will find a clipping from the Chicago Defender speaking of Layton & Johnstone and their having bought the Empire Music Hall in Paris. Can you imagine such UNTRUE propaganda? I can't imagine who ran the Defender up on this JOKE information. The Empire Music Hall is the Keith Palace Theatre of Paris. It is owned by the Defender by two big wealthy Frenchmen. I like to see big Jones will get a good laugh out of this. Also Sammy Richardson and Opal Cooper, in Paris. Well, Romeo, I must stop at this. However, before closing I will say that Mrs. Browning and our daughter, Haroldine, will be in America in early summer, and even their stay in New York will be brief I will let you know later, as you must see "mame daughter" on her trip to the States. Hope this will find shape. We close here Saturday, after a most enjoyable month, and Sunday we open at the Scala in Berlin for April. Auf wiedersehen. Your friend, IVAN H. BROWNING. M. & S.

Frasiss Stebel on the Negro, HAMBURG, Germany, March 24—It is not yet on hand, and years" says Frasiss Stebel, "that in the south of the United States the black slavery bled. And today there are Negro professors at the American universities. Today there are Negro theaters in New York, the places of which are all the evening taken. Passions carry through if behind the heart stands thought and desire. What a difference the African rhythm could dars conquer five parts of the earth. Because passion and unremodeled naturalness convince everywhere. The civilization of the world only strokes a thin varnish over the race energies. I will say that the Four Harmony Kings step up in gray dress suits by a first-class London ladies. That is the country that they sing with all the plainness of a convicting art which has opened for them the world from Alaska to Odessa." Prayed While Josephine Danced VIENNA, Monday, March 12—The Vienna Roman Catholic Gazette announces three days of atonement "for the many recent outrages on public property" commissioned particularly by that of the Negoz dance, Josephine Baker," recently held here. The services were held from March 11 to March 13 in the Fauliana Church. The Jesuit Father Frey, Dr. Fliaa and Dr. Laueraoth took turns in preaching. A "toll of penance" was rung during the service on the church bells. A touch of piety was by the coincidence that the tolling of the penance bells sent forth their chimes at the time when Josephine Baker, in her theatre almost next door to the church, was singing "I Could Be Good, I Could Be Bad; It All Depends on You." Josephine, Josephine; Nothing But! VIENNA, Friday, March 2—The Josephine Baker Premiere here last night proved a complete triumph for the famous colored dancer over her Fassist opponents in Vienna. Curious crowds and assembled outside the theatre for an hour before the doors were due to open in expectation of noeing. A lot of dancing. Groups of students gathered in front corners, but the police quickly dispersed them. The real reason, however, why the anticipated rain of skimbombs did not fall from "the gods," as anticipated, was that the prices of admission were that highly high for the students' slender, white body, the Black or White Pavue, "as it is intended, worst than those at an all-star performance of the Vienna opera. The house was packed, and it is sold out for ten nights ahead, thanks to the Fasolats' magnificent publicity campaign. Vienna obstinately refused to be shocked even when Josephine silthered on a stage and oiled on the stage with a scenty banana as her sole covering. The audience, accustomed to a generous display of paler skins, did not find the coffee hue any more vicious.

Fletcher Henderson Repeating Past Trulimphs at the Lafayette Theatre There comes a time in every reviewer's life when the English language falls him in his efforts to do justice to a particularly inspiring show. This is the case now—when attempting to describe Leonard Harper's new revue hit "Jazz Fantasy," which opened a week's impact at the fayette Theatre yesterday from the fact that most popular of all bands—Fletcher Henderson's Roseland Orchestra—weaves such an entrenching spell about the theme that one feels as if he were treading on air and cannot adequately describe the foibles. Dancers came and did the bits," wife laughter and storms of oratory comedians, tambourines and cymbals clashed, beautiful chorus girls went through stirring formations—and throughout it all Henderson's master musicians wove a spell of wonderful music—dance music, jazz music, classical jazz! It will be imagined for a moment that the other artists did not come in for their share of the applause. Indeed, one of the surpris- 11th ANNUAL SPRING MIDNITE Given N.Y.

Phil Hale of Warner Dawley, King of the Clarinet; Andrew Tribble, the most famous of female impersonators; Willie Jackson, the mainstay of Connie's inn Revue; Earnest Whitman, well-known character actor and singer; and Martinez, famous Spanish actors whose career grew at the Lafayette and a host of other popular artists. And then there is the chorus—twelve Harper-picked beauties—and Harper is known the country over for his selection of beautiful chorus girls. As a mixture of wonderful music, side-splitting comedy, splendid singing and beautiful girls, this week's show at the Lafayette stands at the very top of musical comedy revues. The feature photoplay for the week is Harold Bell Wright's famous story: "The Shepherd of the Hills." This is a gripping story of love, adventure, intrigue and faith in the Almighty. The action is laid in the Kentucky Hills at little O Day, star of "The Patent Leather Kid" and Alec B Francis are the featured players. AL JOLSON AT THE LAFAYETTE APRIL 30 Al Jolson will be seen at the Lafayette Theatre during the week beginning April 30 in "The Jazz Singer."

The things that Dr, Dott accom- iishes with this choir are too mani- fuld to be praised piecemeal. It suffices to say, howevor, that the command of nuance and elegy, both by ludividual soloists and by the uni, was marvelously perfect and scothing. The volce arrangements reprevent the work of an artist with its consequent perfection as regards aitistle interpretation and true clurity of enunclativa and articula- vion, ‘Tue group of songs of the early chirch, as sung by the tlampton vhoir, ‘gives one the mmpressicn of nyriad melodies concentrated on 4 centralized Key, rising at times from the suyernatural murmurings of an uching heart toa pitch that was passionnte—almost fierce. Tn the three compositions of Rus: slau origination, Mr. Dett is tully justified tn his opinion that there ts iu Kinship between this type of folk muse and the Negro’s, and as they were being unwoven by this group of singers, that link became even more pronounced. Undoubtedly, the Lest reudered of these were “Hymn to tho Trinity” tu "RF" and “Lord. Our God, Have Mercy." which ro- ceived the most lengthy applause of he evening. © The last group of motets and anthems by Dr, Dett personifies the composers fugue and {s truthfully Negrold in theme, And so, Into the musical repertofre, passes another achievement that not only stands as a iribute to the {nstitutton from which they hall, but is also a further vindication of tho director's musical prowess, EL T.R Vesger Quartet to Give Final Recital The Vexper Quartet of Boston will wake its last appearance before a local audience on the evening vf May 2 In the auditorium of the St. ciumes’ Presbyterian Chureh, 1itst street and St, Nicholas avenue.

The defendants are to be ex-members of the boards of trustees of the church, the number of which was collected in an election. This is the newest development in the plans of an present pastor of the church, the property of his official board to sell the present property of the church, located on Corona avenue, Elmhurst, and buy another and more suitably located in and erect a new edifice and parsonage. Another development was a decision given late yesterday by William Gulfoyle, register of vital records, and application made by the same attorneys in behalf of the pastor and official board for a permit to remove from the present church yard all allotment and burial there and to reinter them in a plot purchased in Mr. Olivet Cemetery, all the details in connection with the proposed suit have not been completed, said Mr. McLellan in discussing the case, "Part of the property of the church was sold several years ago. The sum realised was $7,000,000. We paid $10,000,000, but where the other $17,000 is we do not know. The trustees who failed in re-election took all their books and records with them, we are not sure if we should tend that the money should be in the hands of the present pastor and official board of the church. We expect to file the papers in the suit in a few days."

Moore Bringing Georgie Dixon to the Fore by Leaps and Bounds Race's Outstanding Fight Manager, Who Also Managed Danny Edwards and Other Fighters, Continues to Carry on in Portland By JAMES H. McCOOL. Portland, Ore. April 14—Three months ago George Dixon, capable Portland midwelling, who is yet in his teens and under the able management of George P. Moore, was an unknown quantity. A few of his admirers still clung to the fond hope that their idle might yet reach the heights of his profession. But a majority of fight followers had just about the same amount of confidence in him, with a good punch, but neither the speed to make it count nor the knowledge to land it if he did have the speed. George had, true enough, not and defeated all the preliminary fighters in this part of the country with whom he had been matched. He had even fought some more or less well-known has-beens and won by decisions or knockouts. But then the youngster's ambition led him into a bout with Dave Shade, and that battled George in a cloud of leather. Portland, Ore., April 14—Three Portland midwelling, who is yet a agement of George P. Moore, was admirers still clung to the fond hop heights of his profession. But a mall deed of P. Moore, with a good purchase, but neither the sedge to land it if he did have the sedge and defeated all the preliminary fish whom he had been matched. He has known has-beens and won by dey youngster's ambition led him into master technician of boxing seirene baffled George in a cloud of leather. The wisenecres nodded hands and delivered themselves of the usual "little-you-son." Dixon was only a ham, he never would be in a class with Anderson or Walker, like Slado, Anderson or Walker. But the second-guessers overlooked one thing and that was Dixon's murderous punching whichever Shade wanted to do. He sought to make it a slugging match. Every time Shade tried to trade willpower Dixon he game ported to youngsters. He enforced foe run for the storm cellar, Dixon, never for a second backer away from Shade. He's a man who was a bit nervous, but he kept trying. And Dixon learned more about ring generality in that engagement than he had in his entire previous career. He showed remarkable improvement when he was matched with a teammate. He thought though he lost the decision in Sonny the Kentucky middleweight had to go at top speed the way and the teammate had to be in danger when the hell he lost the decision. Then Denver Ed Marton came on the scene as Dixon's trainer and instructor and the creaky old heavyweight Dixon's style. Before Denver Ed took up his task Dixon had been taught to box more or less cautious and to counter attack with a stiff arm. But under the new regime Dixon suddenly began to take the offensive, throwing in both fists as he adduces doggedly on his opponent. He then lunges over Lake ten bruising rounds. Aurubis was noted for his shagging proclivities, but Dixon took every punch the stifan could deliver and return a blow for blow. He should have been awarded the decision, but judges gave Aliciaeh the right. Dixon had become accustomed with the fixed idea that he is invulnerable to any kind of punching and that he can outshine anybody of his weight in the world. Anderson Rematch is Goal. What kind of weight did Oakland John Burrs last month he was overjoyed. His manager and trainer predicted he would knock out Burns, but again the "talent" Dixon has in the races and into odds of 2 to 1 that he what happened every Portland fan who saw that short-lived fray still remembars. Dixon leaped out of his first round was much before the half way along had smashed Burns into an inert and unconscious mass. Dixon is now fretting for a return and Anderson and is firmly convinced he was from that nationally star just as decisively as he did from Auerbach and Burns. Anderson is willing to fight Dixon here Burrs is a better receiver from Anderson's agger, Jim Dougherty, who heks Dixon on not to get into the ring again un Anderson's injured hand heals from Dixon disregarded the request however, for he has signed to fight Los Angeles middleweight, rugged Los Angeles middleweight, Tuesday. Hector professes to be just as confident that he will be beat by Dixon's fight that Hector will be only a champion for him and Hector saw Dixon put the crusher on Burns. "I look like it will be one of tremendous fighters," only can box, but bites not hotter than to mix freely with an attacker. Hector won the middleweight championship to win Stateau two years ago, is still young, strong and ambitious and is confident to win the right to meet Mickey Walker for the world's title.

In the first half the Renshance played lesslessly and otherwise not like the team, who seemed as if they were just going through the motions—but after a play got down to tacks and played with the team, the State champions. Ricks and Salkh were high scorers for the Renshance, with 15 and 14 points respectively, both with 8 points, were the leaders for the visitors. At half time the colored champions led by 24 to 14. The Renaultis played 121 games during the season, winning 109 and losing 22. We venture to say that there is not another team in the country that plays that many games in a single season on the field, drawing attraction the colored champions are. Of the 22 games that they lost, we are told that at most they have a weakness, lack of proper playing condition through breaking of training rules, or breaches of discipline not consistent to good team play. We are told that to remain a drawing card depends on the popularity of the team, it is hard for us to understand why the men do not have understood this condition. The season is past now, but Manager Douglas should keep in mind the season in which the Renaisance team belongs to the people, and when they go out to play they are representatives of the race, and as such must give of their very best to the Renaisance should be given their walking papers. Next Sunday night the annual game between the married and shunned couple will take place this is the last game for the season. The game is staged by the players themselves, with the permission of the owners, and should be supported by all the fans. The married men will have Sloane, Jennik, Ricks, Flail, Mayers, can you tell me the bachelors will call on Salch, Sanders, Hill, Mota, Say and Murphy. Being married, it looks to us like they can tell us they cannot tell about these married men. The preliminary game will be a game for the New York Collegeians, champions of the college, to atone for their only defeat these past two years when they shear against the Scholastics. We have two teams, tween these two teams, when the Scholastics cased out a one-point win against the far fly?

The team won the win of Class A, Unlimited weight. Division on the Brooklyn school district. Casketball League. The Concord Baptist schedule also played a season even a near double, thereby establishing a league record. This was won by the Concord Baptist team, who won the championship of the league by defeating the Class A tribueur. Concord got off in front when, after Al Thompson missed a tree, Al Smith scored and Captain Al Smith dribbled down the middle of the court and added two more tails. Classon then took the floor and faced Al Smith, but I foulled Riddell in the later net, but he fouled on the four Scot. Captain Smith shoved Concord further ahead by caging another bassist and goal for Concord and Riddell muffled shots for Concord and Howk did the same for Classon. Al Thompson then came through with a goal for Concord and Riddell muffled shots for Concord and Howk did by Bill Bartlett. Captain Smith took the ball under the Classon basket and dribbled the length straight-armed him as he shot Smith made good on one of the free shots. Al Thompson then dropped another Smith shot after being fouled by the Smith coach a lead penalty. Al Smith added two more points for Concord on a follow up shot after Herden had missed. After the penalty, the court from the top and caged a clever one from the foot line and Smith followed with the fourth bassist field goal by Bill Bartlett and Bigger's first basket for Classon ended the first half scoring from the floor, saddled dropped in a four shot for Concord and Bigger's end. With Concord leading, 29-7. Hill Stevens went in for Sandy Herndon in the second session, as the latter was not feeling so well. The Concord passers got into action Thompson, Smith and Bartlett netted baskets in rapid succession, the latter getting two in a row. After Rainey had missed a penalty he got through for a pair of field goals of Concord. With ten minutes of the half gone, Riddell tallied Chasson's first score by knocking a two-pointer through the hoop after Bigger and missed Chasson added another two-pointer to the first of two foul shots, then Captain Elmer Fluck caged a long shot. After Bigger and Bartlett missed free throws, the latter dribbled the length of the court and added to Al Rainey for a neat basket. With four minutes to go, Moes went in for Rainey, and after Smith had tailed another double heckle in the first half, he had denied Herdinson going in for Hartleigh. Concord contented themselves with passing and dribbling all around the Classon players to the end of the first half, and more conclusively shown. Just before the whistle Howk of Classon netted a penalty shot for the final score of two games. The sensational play was the Classon win for Concord team won for them, with Captain Smith, Rainey and Thompson accounting for the victory by the defense.

BROWN FOULED IN FIRST FIGHT Was Beating Opponent in Toledo Ring When White Fighter Hit Low (Special to The Amsterdam News.) TOLEDO, April, 11—Little A1 Brown of New York started his American campaign here last night against Steve Nugent when Nugent administered a low blow in the secconth round by a foul. All the houts on the bill at the Shea Brothers' boxing show in the armory ended via the foul route. Paul Allen was fouled by Chick Martin of Dombroski hit Andy Martin very low and was also disqualified. It started when Brown, known as the Panama Wender, stepped out the ring and proceeded to make Nugent incompetent. Brown danced around the Cleveland, staving off his rushes with ridiculous ease. Al had seen him several laps of the Ford Miami Grand Prix in the second with a left that caught Brown squarely in the groin.

Many people have an early case of ulcer of the stomach, but they make their own diagnosis of indigestion or gastritis. These are the cases of people with "chronic indigestion," who are forever going to the drug stores for salts, powders and tablets. They are never quite well; they are always overfull and puffy, frequently belch, are unable to work, and are constantly conscious of an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of the chest or the upper abdomen. Or Would You Rather Be a Lamp Post? Editor's Notes Adolph Hodge is head of the Physical Training Department at the Frederick Douglas Junior High School, Seventh avenue at 140th street. His travels by foot, automobile, train and steamer have carried him to many parts of the globe, hence he writes authoritatively. Mr. Hodge is a graduate of Howard University, the University of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia School of Pedagogy. At Howard he was captain of the baseball team in 1811 and also played football there.

In this way we are better able to evaluate the opportunities and privileges which we enjoy at home. The aim, therefore, of this series of articles is to endeavor to stimulate the desire for travel. It is an error for us to think that we cannot travel without a great expenditure of money and a big outlay of clothes.

They are n always overfull and puffy, frequen work, and are constantly conscious ing in the pit of the chest or the u --- Authorities state that more than one-half of all stomach or gastric ulcers are diagnosed late. The ulcers at this stage are large; they bleed and are plentiful along the wall of the stomach. Any symptoms of indigestion or gastritis occurring at frequent intervals need a proper medical examination. In most of these cases an X-ray examination is absolutely needed for accurate diagnosis and an idea as to the method of treatment. Ulcer of the stomach is a serious disease. Its cause may be one or several abnormal conditions. Embolism or a blocking of a blood vessel in the stomach quite often is a cause. Syphilis, as a constitutional disease, in many cases affects the blood vessels and the mucous wall of the stomach. Mechanical and chemical injury to the stomach wall, lowered tissue vitality of the stomach in the presence of excess acid and ferments of the gastric juice, are the causes of over half of the cases of stomach ulcer. This injury results from improper methods of eating, and the kinds of food eaten, such as eating too hot or too cold foods; eating at irregular intervals; eating too rapidly; too much rich foods, and foods that are improperly cooked. Such faulty digestive habits finally produce indigestion and then gastritis. At certain points along the mucous membrane of the stomach dead or dying cells develop, and then the excess hydrochloric acid and a proteolytic ferment enlarge this eroded surface, and a gastric ulcer is finally formed. The symptoms of gastric ulcer are: frequent attacks of dyspepsia, a burning sensation in the pit of the chest after eating, localized tenderness and a tendency to vomit. If such symptoms occur at frequent intervals, an examination by your physician is necessary and an X-ray of the stomach is imperative. There are two methods for the treatment of gastric ulcer: medical treatment and surgery. The former is more hopeful for a cure -3u ADOLPH HODGE visionals made today by the steamship companies are clean, healthy and comfortable; the food and service all that one could desire. There is one important thing that the traveler must learn at the very beginning, and that is this: He must not expect and cannot demand all the conveniences and little niceties which he is used to at home. He can get them, surely, but only at an added expense and needless trouble to all concerned. The de luxe tours are all that their name implies, but this mode of travel is entirely unsatisfactory to persons who desire to see the inner life of a country; to meet the natives in their natural trends of work; to play and receive first hand impressions of their thought-life and philosophy. I spent an entire summer hiking to California and back to New York City at a cost of less than $80. I have toured by auto all through Canada and the Middle West on an outlay of $150. I have visited all of the great National Parks of the West—Yellowstone, Glacier, Yosemite, Sequoia and the Grand Canyon—for $350, traveling by train. I have seen all of the high-spots of Europe—England, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Holland and Belgium—for as little as $500 and I have made a trip around the world via Hawaii, Japan, China, Korea, Siberia, Russia, Poland, Germany and France for the reasonable sum of $800. I do not speak any foreign language, but have found this fact little of a drawback, because I have never found myself no more than a few hours removed from some one who could speak at least a few words of English. I have never been embarrassed in any way because of my color; rather, I have found my skin color an asset. On the other hand, I have formed many delightful friendships throughout the world; experienced many thrilling moments—as the time I was arrested by the Chinese army near Peking; have seen many awe-inspiring sights, as when I gazed into the fire-pit of Hawaii's volcano; have behold many beauties of nature, as the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River and the falls of the Niagara River; have enjoyed many views of exquisite art objects, as one finds in the Uffizat at Florence and the Louvre in Paris; and have met Fit S, M.

That is why an X-ray examination is no necessary. An X-ray picture will show if an ulcer is present, its extent and its location on the stomach wall. By such a method, your physician is enabled to advise correctly whether medical treatment or surgery should be initiated. The removal of the ulcer by surgery is giving brilliant results. Your Horoscope By THEARCHER The birthyear for April 13 promises a deep interest in those things that bring beauty to the mind and body. There will be some annoyances through unsettled conditions in the domestic circle. A sudden surprise is in store for many of today. The general trend of the vibrations favors constructive efforts and ideas. The year is very good. April 13 promises a birthyear that will be full of stronger vibrations for success and happiness. Lawyers, chemists, high grade grocers and realtors are well favored. Association with one in high position or authority is indicated for many. April 20 begins a new birth sign, as well as a new birthyear. These Taurus people are a bit more inclined to the higher side of life than the Aries born, and are capable of deeper sympathy to their fellow beings. The year has an indication of favorable association with those in high position, with consequent gain therefrom. The birth hour makes the difference. The possibility of success is strong, for Jupiter is shedding his benign rays on the people of this day, and for a whole year. There may be a tendency to deception to or by the people of day. April 21 indicates a birthyear that brings gain through news of elderly people, and news of real many strange people, as natives of Korea and Inner Mongolia. All these pleasures have been more than a recompense for the time and money expended, or the momentary inconvenience met with from time to time. I urge my readers to try to visualize the beautiful scenes and the remarkable places which I shall try to describe. When you understand how cheaply delightful trips can be taken, I am sure that you will begin at once to plan a trip somewhere for your next vacation. And once you have begun to appease your innate wanderlust and to treasure the happy remembrance which you will store up for future musings, you will realize that dreams do come true—and that a few months' saving and planning are all that you need in the form of a magic carpet to transport you to scenes equal to any of those of The Arabian Nights. The following are a few short trips which can be taken from New York over the week-end at a very moderate cost. Niagara Falls: Cost—$17 Leave New York Friday night via The Lehigh Valley Railroad and arrive at The Falls 9 a.m. Saturday morning. Proceed to the blink of the American Falls for your first view of this stupendous scenic beauty; take the elevator to the foot of The Falls for an overwhelming view upwards of the mighty rush of water. Walk through the park to Goat Island, viewing The Bridal Falls, The Three Sisters Islands and The Horsehoe Falls. If your courage is good, don rubber suit and go down into The Cave of the Winds. At night return for the gorgeous sight of The Falls illuminated by 1,000,000,000 candle power colored lights. Then be healed to a restful sleep by the might roar of the cataract. Sunday take the trolley trip to Lewiston. Sit on the right hand side of the car. This trip takes you across the International Bridge into Canada, permits a view of both falls, and then proceeds along the brink of the river gorge, past the Rapids and the Whirlpool to Lewiston. The more daring may take the Spanish aerial car across the swirling waters of the Whirlpool. A good view of General Brock's monument is obtained en route. The return trip is made along After Leaf (Continued From James Buchanan took no he turned his office over to only bachelor President. I home until his death in 1860.

The soldier-President died James Buchanan took no part in public affairs after he turned his office over to Lincoln in 1861. He was the only bachelor President. He lived at his Pennsylvania home until his death in 1868. Abraham Lincoln passed away in his prime, as the result of the assassin's bullet, while he was President. Andrew Johnson left the national capital in 1869. He went back to Tennessee in 1875, and was elected United States Senator, following several defeats for that post. His career there was short, as he died the same year. U. S. Grant made a triumphant tour of the world following the expiration of his term in 1877. His friends attempted to renominate him in 1880, but the move failed and Garfield was nominated. Grant then entered the banking business in New York. He also wrote his memoirs. The soldier-President died in 1858 at the age of 63. estate or property. There is an adverse aspect to the happiness in domestic circles and affairs. The year is capable of much good. The law, and contracts concerning real estate, will bring some gain to many of today. April 22 promises a birthyear that will be rather unsatisfactory thanasar as employment is concerned, but there is an indication of gain through legal matters, although not without much worry. Many will travel long distances. The year is favorable as a whole. April 23 brings success to those who are lawyers, writers, speakers, chemists and those who follow mental vocations. There will be some unhappiness through an elderly member of the family. Property will bring uphappiness, too, but the good aspect of the sun to the moon will help to overcome this aspect for many. Perseverance will advance the people of today far on the way to success. April 21 will bring some disappointment through legal matters and sudden journeys. There is an element of deception indicated that should cause the people of today to think well before accepting any proposition from others, or before signing important papers. Many good aspects will assist those who use rare good judgment to pass safely through the year. Know New York State Knock-out drops were first used in New York for purposes of robbery in 1866. The art was brought from California by a thief named Peter Sawyer, whose followers became known as poter-players. Thirty-four kinds of game are killed in New York State.

This plant is operated entirely by power from the waters of the Niagara River, and supplies electricity for all cities within a radius of 100 miles. The night train gets one back to New York in time for business Monday morning. Bourd and lodging can be secured at Mrs. Brown's, 443 Main street, for about $3 a day. The trip to Lewiston costs $1.50. The railroad fare is $$ for the round trip. In summer, the cost is a little more but permits a longer stay. The trip in winter is just as attractive as the one in the summer. The appeal of the ice-bridge and ice mountain and the ice laden trees is just as gripping as the dense green foliage of summer. The excursion train over the Pennsylvania Railroad leaves New York Saturday night and arrives at Luray, Va., early Sunday morning. The trip through the caves is as interesting to the layman as to the student of geology, and is woll worth sitting up all night to enjoy. While the caves are not as extensive as those at Mammouth Cave, Ky., they are worth making the trip to see. The rail fare is $7. Mrs. Adina Hawkins Haines has an accommodation cottage there. She calls it Hillcrest. Boat Trips The overnight boat trips to Boston cost only $5 each way and are a delightful relaxation from train travel. The courtesy extended to Negroes is all that could be desired. Boston has so many points of historic interest that I shall not enumerate them. Sightseeing buses visit them all at the usual moderate prices. The day trip or the night trip to Albany by boat also offers another restful week-end diversion. Likewise, the overnight train ride to Montreal offers the thrill of being in a foreign country, interesting sightseeing, and a $2 bottle of real champagne for those so inclined. Next week I shall suggest a few longer trips, which may be taken at low cost per person. Living Office (From Last Week) part in public affairs after Lincoln in 1861.

Rogers, Foreign Correspondent, Reviews Article by Prof. Moens, European Anthropologist IN THE current number of the Review of Nations, leading international journal published at Geneva, Switzerland, is an article written by Prof. H. B. Moens, which will be of particular interest to Negroes. It represents what may be regarded as the typical European viewpoint on the color question. The European does not share the color prejudice of his descendant, the white American, and he looks upon the white American's attitude as a phenomenon. The article has a subtle, satiric quality, and will be interesting, not so much for what has been said (as what he says will be familiar to most Negroes), but for its presentation and freshness of viewpoint. The article, which is entitled "Can Humanity Be Humanized?" begins: "One of the first questions officially asked on entering the United States is, 'Are you colored or white?' Though this question is, from an anthropological point of view, quite unscientific, it is significant of a general division of the human beings in the United States; a demarcation not for the benefit of those who are classified as 'colored,' which means being of European descent; especially not for their advantage where most of them live, in what is called the South, where still nowadays lynchings and burning alive of colored people occur." He goes on to point out the fallacy of this term: as there are no "uncolored or colorless" people, since the whites also have pigment in their skins, a pigment less developed than that of the Negro, and that's all. Still, he says, because the American authorities were so anxious to discover whether he was 'colored or white', he at once became interested in the color question. His first contact with colored people was in Los Angeles, where he visited several educational institutions, noting the different shadings of color from dark brown to so-called white, and viewing them all as members of a single human race. He was soon to learn, however, that the question asked him by the immigration authorities was not an idle one, for when he attended a high-school dance in that city he noted that there were only two Negro students, young ladies, one of whom was playing the piano for the dance, and the other, her friend, who was waiting to go home with her later. He asked the teacher where were all the other colored students, and the teacher replied that they were away because "a white boy will not dance with a colored girl, and a white girl will not dance with a colored boy." Wishing to show them a better example, he said, he went to the unoccupied colored girl and asked her for a dance. After this dance, he says, "the principal of Do You "Baby" Hubby? Men love to be "babied," and any wife who believes that she's got a "sure bet," and can be as cold and indifferent as she wishes, is on the road to marital unhappiness. If she hasn't already arrived at it. Men are always babies. They have their whims, and they must have their desires satisfied. If wife doesn't satisfy them—well, she'd better watch out! Love Your Husband! He married you because he believed you love him and now's your chance to make him know it. Be as sweet and as loving to him now as you were when you first married him and you'll be pretty sure of keeping him. Dear Egyptys Ann: I am a man of 35 and have been married five years to q. girl who is very cold acting towards me. Since I love her this hurts me very much. She never has a kind word for me and seems to have transferred all her love for me to our baby. She doesn't seem to care whether I'm happy or not. I believe in being true to the woman I married, but if this continues I'll change my mind. What's your opinion? A PUZZLED HUSBAND. Dear Friend: I can truly sympathetic with you, but you want advice, not sympathy. Here goes the advice: You can't tell her to be loving to you; you'd feel then that it was forced. You could start praising some woman who is affectionate to her husband. Tell her what a lucky guy "jones" or "Smith" is to have a thoughtful and loving wife. She'll begin to wake if she cares at all. If she simply can't love you, you'd be better away from her. I feel sure, however, that if you start praising others she should take up. If a woman can't love her husband, she has no right to grumble if someone else does, is my humble advice. EGYPSY ANN. the school came to me and said: "Excuse me, but I wish to inform you that you cannot dance with a colored girl." However, his response was: "Did you not see I can, and she danced very well, too?" "No," he said, "you did not understand me." "Yes," he interrupted," and that is the reason. I understood and I did dance. And I hope it will be instructive for you, your teachers and pupils to see what my point of view of education is." This first insight into the injustice and sufferings imposed by racism upon him decide to go South to get some more impressions and observations. "White people had told me," he writes, "You should go to the South to know the colored people. They like, like pigs." "So my stay in different Southern cities and plantations brought me in contact with all kinds of colored people. But certainly many white people would be happy to live in such 'pigpens' (?) as the splendid buildings and homes of many of the colored people in the South." Dining with the president of a colored college in Atlanta, he said that the latter informed him that "if white Americans should see this, they might lynch me." The writer tells of his studies among colored people in Africa, the West, Indies and Central America, and says that he finally settled down in Washington, D.C., to study the race question, where he "had to change his home many times on account of receiving colored friends" in the same way I had my white ones. But this was an illuminating experience. Not only did it happen that my colored friends could enter the front door of the white people, but they were not allowed to go into the elevator where the white people went. When they wanted to ride up, there was in many buildings a lower elevated under the main cage, this A Key to By LEOD A Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD ETIQUETTE, proper for all tersely in George Washi- not when others speak; s not when you should hold yo- stop."

ETIQUETTE, proper for all occasions, may be summed up tersely in George Washington's rules of civility: "Sleep not when others speak; sit not when others stand; speak not when you should hold your peace; walk not when others stop." People of today and tomorrow possess and will possess the same human elements of appreciation as did the people of the old school. Even a child demands attention when he speaks, and also little acts of courtesy when they are needed. Many times children are not old enough to know the meaning of the attention they receive or expect, but there is something within them that almost imperilizes a response to their every act or speech. They likewise acknowledge the response with a feeling of gratitude. Men and women are just grown-up children, with a greater amount of understanding. Rules of etiquette were not made for men alone, although it is generally observed more in men than in women. The potential beauty of some women and the circumstantial indulgence of others oftimes lessen the bonds of courtesies that would condemn the chivalrous attributes of men. When a lady speaks, a gentleman is expected to rise and stand until she either sits down or goes. When she enters the room it is his duty to rise. A man is greatly relieved in public audiences, as he would appear ridiculous if he sprang to his feet every time a female form entered the door. A gentleman is supposed also to rise when a lady enters his business office; after he has greeted her and provided her a chair, he may sit. When she rises to go, he rises and stands until she has departed. Again a relief may be offered for the gentleman! The demands upon a business man's attention may be so numerous that it is impossible for him to observe every rule of etiquette. His stenographers and other female clerks are constantly around him and he would be rather overcome if he had to rise every time one of them entered the office. Yet, it is astonishing to note how many little courtesies the business man will tirelessly and automatically perform daily for his female employees—getting a chair for one; picking up a pencil for another; MAGAZINE PAGE one being used for garbage cans and colored people. "I enjoyed several times the sensation of riding with colored university professors and doctors among these garbage cans, while in the upper elevator only white people and dogs had the privilege of entering. It seemed to me that even in the capital of this demo- M. B. - J. A. Rogers - cratic country a colored person was still considered less than a dog. "But I had a somewhat similar experience in an apartment hotel in the cosmopolitan city of New York. Here, there were no upper and lower elevator sections. There was a special elevator section in the back for garbage cans and colored people—or perhaps I should say, as New York is not a Southern city—for colored people and garbage cans." The writer, after tolling his experiences in New York City, told how he was forced to move from place to place because he had visitors of "all races," the great objection being against Negroes. He then gives a novel manner of getting rid of a lease that one does not like. "I was informed," he said, "that if I insisted on having colored visitors, they would appreciate my leaving and would even release me from the obligations of the lease. So, when people wish to be relieved of their house leases, I advise them to give some inter-racial parties." Prof. Moens also compares the Christianity of the white man with that of the Negro. "In the white churches, where the brotherhood of man is supposed to reign, it is an unqualified brotherhood of white men. In colored churches, brotherhood of all men is practiced. I have gone into several colored churches without being presented, and always I have been politely received, conducted to one of the best seats, Culture A LILLARD occasions, may be summed up ington's rules of civility: "Sleep not when others stand; speak or peace; walk not when others tomorrow possess and will pos- of appreciation as did the peo- child demands attention when of courtesy when they are are not old enough to know they receive or expect, but there almost imperilizes a response They likewise acknowledge the titude. down-up children, with a great- Rules of etiquette were not it is generally observed more potential beauty of some woul- gence of others oftimes less would condemn the chivalrous opening a door or window for another, etc. Nothing so conclusively indicates the true gentleman as the way he acts in his home or in his office. In society he may perform little acts of courtesy with pleasure, while in his home or his office to perform the same acts seems distressfully irksome. But, after all, it is in the daily routine of business and home life that a man's thoughtful deeds of kindness and politeness take root and are felt the keenest. The wearied husband, who rises when his wife enters the room, holds the door open for her to pass through first, graciously responds to the breakfast and dinner call, and is cordial in his interests, is more than a superficially well-behaved man. To Review Regiment Brigadier-General George R. Dyer, commanding the Eighty-seventh Infantry Brigade, will review the 369th Infantry, N. Y. N. G., Thursday evening, April 26, at 8:30 o'clock, at the armory, 30 West 143d street. and even in prayer I was sometimes mentioned as a welcome visitor and a white brother, whose visit was appreciated. How much have the white churches still to learn before they practice the brotherhood of all men?" The puzzle, says the writer, was to know who were colored and who were white. "How do the whites know that the colored are colored and that the whites are white?" he asks. "It happened to me often that prejudiced Southern whites told me, when I was presented as a man who studied Negroes: 'You do not know a thing about these "uggers"; you should have lived in the South like us.'" "Of course, it was not discreet to explain that I had lived in the South, but to test their claimed knowledge I brought some fair colored people among them. Not only was their origin not recognized, but, in the case of a very fair colored child from a colored school in Washington, D. C., I was asked whether she was the child of the gentlemen of the Dutch Location, as her fairness, blue eyes and blond hair gave her the appearance of a type from Holland." In further proof of this he gives the following interesting experience in a Jim-Crow cur. Prof. Moons is a blonde, with typical Nordic features, and a blond mustache. "When I left Muskogee, Okla," he said, "the train was made up of 'white' and 'colored' cars. The white cars were filled with passengers among whom were very rough and tobacco-spitting types. The colored car was nearly empty. Liking to travel comfortably, I entered the colored car, but the conductor, who was there looking over some papers, said to me: 'This is for colored people.' "Upon the basis of my studies, which had shown me the existence of 'white colored' people, I asked him: 'How do you know that I am not colored?' His reply was: 'You do not look like it.' "Do you not know that there are colored people lighter than you?' I asked him, looking at his typical Latin type. "After the conductor had left, another white man entered and said to me: 'I think we can sit here; there is no more place in the white car.'" "I replied: 'No, you cannot sit here. This is for colored people.'" "That is interesting," he answered. "I should like to stay here and talk with you," and he looked at me wonderingly. "But you cannot stay here; this is for colored people," I replied. "You must go to the white cars." And he went. "A little later another white man came in, put his luggage down and sat down. When the train had started the conductor passed. He told the white man to go to the white car, which this white man, taking up his luggage again, did. Taking my ticket the conductor asked: 'Are you a British subject?' My curt answer, 'No, I am not,' took away his further zest for information, and I travelled agreeably and quietly for a few hours as a colored man." Prof. Noens also treats with the reflex of the white man's prejudice as practiced by Negroes themselves, and gives the following instance: "In Washington, D. C., a colored family, called the whites," had dark-colored 18-21 mates. But when their light-colored daughter married a light-colored young man and the picture of the bridal party was to be taken, the bridal maids from among their dark-colored intimates were replaced by lighter-colored ones to make a more desirable group for the picture." The writer points out that this color prejudice is caused, in the first place, by the color prejudice of the whites, and says: "When a race thinks itself superior, it should make other races look up to it; but it should never demean its principles by looking down upon the others. The present conditions among the whites show that a superior race still has to be developed. At any rate, at present, when brute force, shot, shell, shrapnel, hypocryl and injustice have to be more convincing than wisdom and conscience, the so-called superiority of our white race makes but a poor impression on the philosophers of any race. "The twentieth century does not evidence that the members of the white race practice much philosophy, either among themselves or towards other races. A comparison of the average Caucasian conduct of the present day with the broad philanthropy and unselfishness of Buddhism, who was born almost 2,500 years ago, or with the doctrines of truth and justice of Confucius, who was born in the same period, will show the superiority of these Asiatics of nearly twenty-five centuries ago." Prof. Moons is not only one of the leading anthropologists of Europe, but he is one of the best liked, and numbers among his friends some of the leading European aristocrats. He is a member of the Dutch nobility. --- Bethiel A. M. E. Church At the morning service at Bethiel A. M. E. Church, the pastor, Dr. C. B.

Wednesday, April 18, 1928 Matthews of Harvard TWENTY-FIVE years ago the name Clarence Matthews was one to injure with among the Negro youth in America. The achievements of Negro college athletes bulked large in the public mind then than they now, and of all of them Matthews Harvard was the most famous. He was the greatest college baseball player of his time, and his football career, in spite of his light weight, was sensational. Whenever he play baseball or football against Yankees Princeton something dramatizes sure to happen—a spectacular time run, a lightning double play, air-raising tackle. The sporting pages of the newspapers were full of his name. Now he is dead at 52, after marking his mark as U. S. Assistant District Attorney and an Assistant United States Attorney General. Heath reminds one of the number of outstanding Negroes who have died in the past year: Florence Millenny Francis Downing, Hubert Harrison, James LeCount Chestnut, Jac B. Allen, Tiger Flowers, Johns, Bishop Lee, Josephine Holmazier—each of them, in his or her way, had fought the Negro's fight and pushed him forward.

Lee ATLANTA held a great celebratist week. With parades, benedicts and speeches the figure Robert E. Lee was unveiled at Stor Mountain. William Mack Lee, the gro who was General Lee's coo ATLANTA held a great celebration last week. With parades, benedictions and speeches the figure of Robert E. Lee was unveiled at Stone Mountain. William Mack Lee, the Negro who was General Lee's cook, was present, and Mayor Walker of New York spoke for the United States. NEGROES throughout the country cannot be expected to show much enthusiasm for the Stone Mountain project. They cannot get it out of their heads that Robert E. Lee fought to keep them in slavery and almost succeeded. Much is said of his military genius, but most of his reputation was made against McClellan, who was openly accused of wanting the South to win. His later opponents, Burnside and Hooker, were mere blunderers, making moves which even the privates under them knew were stupid. The only first class general he ever fought was Grant, and the world knows what happened to him then. 11 11 j BUT EVEN GRANTING that he was a brilliant soldier, the same thing can be said of Benedict Arnold. Both Lee and Arnold used their genius for the same purpose — to destroy the Union. Arnold, however, is called a traitor and Lee a hero. It is well enough to let bygones be bygones, but building memorials to men who did their utmost to destroy the Union is not letting them be bygones. To forgive men for treason is one thing; to honor them for it is quite another. THE SPECTACLE of Mayor Walker cullogizing the deeds of Robert E. Lee will cause many Negro voters to scratch their heads. EDITORIAL PAGE "North Ain't South" WHITE SOUTHERNERS are beginning to resent the accusation that they are more intolerant than Northerners. Of late they have been writing articles for the New York newspapers, defending the position of the South on Prohibition and the Fifteenth Amendments. Now Senator Tydings of Maryland has written a long article for the New York Times, in which he seeks to prove that the South is no more intolerant than the North. He admits that the Ku Klux Klan began in the South, but he dwells upon the anti-Catholic bigotry of the Pilgrims of Massachusetts, the Know-Nothing party of 1850, the Federalists under John Jay and the A. P. A. of 1890. He tells of the Catholics and Jews who have been honored by the South. THE SENATOR'S argument leaks. The North of today is not the North of 1620, 1850 and 1890; it is a land of religious, educational and political freedom. New York and Boston are dominated politically by men of the Catholic faith, and until recently a Hebrew was the head of the New York City school system. The Senator refers to the position of Catholics in Maryland and Louisiana, but Maryland was settled by Catholics under Lord Baltimore and until 1803 Louisiana belonged to France, a Catholic nation. THE SENATOR ignores the largest hole in his logic—the position of the Negro in the South. This is so generally known that description is almost unnecessary. To make a man pay the same taxes as other citizens and then forbid him to vote; to make him contribute to the support of all the schools and then confine him to inferior schools; to make him pay an equal fare on railroads and restrict him to unequal accommodations; to deny him justice in the courts, if he is not lynched before he reaches the courts—all this is a poor basis for claiming that the South is as tolerant as the North. As Salem Whitney used to say: "North ain't South." "Never Heard of It" NATHANIEL HILL, a Negro, was tentatively accepted as one of the jurors at the second trial of Harry F. Sinclair on the charge of conspiracy with Albert B. Fall in 1922 to defraud the Government in the Teapot Dome oil leases. Hill was accepted because he said he had never heard of the case. THE JURY in such an important case should be composed of fairly well-informed citizens. But the qualifications seem to be that a juryman should never have read books or newspapers and that he should never have conversed on public affairs. Thus a jury must be composed of the least intelligent people instead of the most intelligent. It is neither comforting nor just for a man to be on trial before a jury who don't know what it's all about. N.A.A.C.P. Reports THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in its report for the year of 1927, announces a notable list of achievements. Among them are victories before the United States Supreme Court in the Texas "white primary" and New Orleans residential segregation cases, investigation of alleged peonage and discrimination in administering relief in the Mississippi River flood, and the blocking of leg The Sinful City By KELLY MILLER Mayor's highest expression of regret was that, under the law of prohibition, a bottle of whiskey had ridden from $1.50 to $15. He vowed to keep the city wringing wet. It is reported that ministers of the gospel and ecclesiastists of highest rank were protesters of this unholy regime. If so, they need to repent for the rest of their PETER J. BROWN days in sackcloth and ashes. But all must applaud the moral courage of Dr. Austin and the brave brethren of the cloth who dared to speak out for truth and righteousness with the boldness of the Hebrew prophets of old. I addressed the ministerial alliance of Baltimore last Thursday. I took that occasion to call attention to the peculiar function of the Negro ministry to guide the people in lines of civic duty and righteousness. For they, and they alone, are in finger touch with the entire population. This is equally true in all great and small cities. It is indeed refreshing to note that the Negro ministry is awakening to this essential function.

In big headlines your paper read "Harlem Physicians in 'Ambulance' Quiz." Such a leading and glaring caption suggests to any one who read the newspaper account that the Harlem physicians named were in some way connected with the white attorney under arrest as a forgery suspect in setting accident claims for clients, and who kept all the cash in a fifty-fifty agreement. It is true that your account does not specifically so state—and your headlines are merely a newspaper trick for newspaper sensationalism—yet the effect of wrong-doing by the Harlem physicians is given to your readers. These physicians named by you have done no wrong; their practice is very extensive and in their daily routine of professional work have many accident cases along with the medically sick. Because of this, they were called to give any information they may have had relative to an investigation of certain irregularities by ambulance-chasing lawyers. Many physicians, both white and colored, in the city have been so called. As far as I know, none of the physicians named in your paper were able to give any information of irregularities in the "ambulance" quiz. Their accident cases, though extensive, have all been handled by able and honest lawyers to the satisfaction of patients and clients. relative to an in- sider by ambulance, both white and colled. As far as in your paper of irregularities accident cases, handled by able action of patients was made that not unhappy over as they are said their brothers of old to have given lawyers."

In your account the statement was made that "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 of the medical profession who are said to have given all the 'accident business' to white lawyers." This, too, is unfair, if this is the opinion of the Negro Till preferential primary in Illinois was the most significant of all preliminary skirmishes. Big Bill Thompson had become an institution which threatened the old puritanical standard in public life. Under the dominance of the Big Bill idea, Chicago had become a byword of reproach in the estimation of so-called respectable municipalities. It was alleged that wickedness ran rampant; it became the paradise of the bootlegger, the grumbler and the thug. The voice of the Rev. J. C. Austin, depicting the degeneracy of his adopted city, sounds like that of a prophet of old infilming against the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah. He likens the city unto the valley of death: "I hypocrites, like hyenas, in high places; leopards in human form move stealthily from alley to alley; lions of power thundering their commands to the henchmen vassals and slaves to crime; wolves of avarice and selfishness that devour the under dog, the puppet; that terrible, treacherous reptile, the snake, who sells his birthright, his race, for a mess of nottage—this is Chicago." He goes on: "Children are not safe upon the streets any more, whether little girls or little boys, from these degenerate hyenas which seek to satisfy their debased desires at the expense of youth. There is no longer any red light district. It has spread from North Shore to South Chicago, which is a cesspool of vice and corruption. The clanking liquor bottles, the stench of mash, the crack of guns, the cry of murder and the dash of fugitives, together with the march of harlots, move on to the tune of jazz. Truly this is the Valley of Death." An awful picture this, and yet the description is sustained by universal confirmation. The --- To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir; lawyers. Personally, I suggest to patients who desire a lawyer, some counselor-at-law who is able to successfully conduct their case and who is honest in the financial settlement, and what is more, nearly all of my patients ask for a white lawyer. Why they do, I shall not now state, but such is the fact. I feel, Mr. Editor, that you "fell down" in the makeup of your caption. The "big thing" was not that the Harlem physicians were called in the ambulance quiz, for there has not developed any proof or even suspicion of their connection with any lawyer who is under arrest for forgery in settling accident claims. Your main story was of a lawyer so accused and arrested. The physicians called to give information in the general ambulance investigation had no connection with this specific lawyer; so why the big headlines "Harlem Physicians in Ambulance Quiz"? Physicians of Harlem work hard to build up a successful practice and an honest reputation. Please, Mr. Editor, be more careful the next time. I pardon you this time for the injustice done me and my fellow practitioners by the inference of wrong-doing which your caption suggests. Respectfully, (Signed) E. ELLIOT RAWLINS, M. D. EDITOR'S NOTE—In making public last week the names of the Negro physicians called to testify in connection with the "ambulance chasing" investigation. The Amsterdam News did not do so either in the hope or expectation that any one of them would be found to be involved in any of them which reflected upon his integrity as a physician and Negro citizen. Justification for printing the names of the doctors is found in the fact that they were summoned; and not whether they were able to shed any light whatsoever upon the investigation. In answering the summons they should not be adduced any more guilty of wrong-doing than hundreds of others who have been called upon to testify in the investigation. The investigation is important to every one living in Greater New York, and especially so to the scores of Negroes who have been double-crossed in their dealing with white lawyers following accidents. The investigation is important also to Negro lawyers who have been deprived of support by Negro runners for white "ambulance chasing" lawyers, and allegedly at least, at the instance and recommendation of several Negro physicians. The Amsterdam News takes its stand for Negro physicians and Negro attorneys. It believes that wherever possible, and when called upon to do so, each should have a care for the welfare of the other. White attorneys do not ordinarily recommend white patients to Negro physicians, and Negro physicians should not go out of their way to recommend white attorneys. Dr. E. Elliot Rawlins, who contributes the above letter, was one of the physicians summoned in the investigation, and despite the fact that he has been a contributor of the health column "Keeping Fit" for nearly six years, and despite the fact that he is the personal physician and friend of the editor, his name could not very well have been omitted without injustice to the other physicians called in the investigation. lawyers.

Only just a day or two ago the A. & P. grocery store, located near the corner of 13th street and Eighth avenue, placed a man of our race in their store.

Whenever an minister allows himself to take an office and thus blinds himself to political obligations of an unscrupulous boss, he thereby hypnotizes his moral and spiritual usefulness and discrudits and degrades the holy office which he vowed never to denile. A high-standing white man prophesied to me the Chicago price plot five years before it happened. A very distinguished Negro ecclesiast recently sent to me that that city was on the verge of an outbreak, and compared with the riot of several years ago, would seem but a praise among playful boys. Let it be hoped that the recent election has avered this awful carnity. The political appeal in Chicago fits one with serious political reflection. The late Governor Pinchback used to tell me that in his long political experience he always found that the 'Negro could make the most advantageous combinations with the lowbrow politicians, the grafter, the corruptionist, and the jobber than with the high-brow reformer who professed high and holy principles. Whenever the silk-stocking crowd captured the government it deemed the service too poor and exalted to be contaminated by Negro officials. My own observation, in Northern cities especially, seems to bear out the Governor's experience. The widely denounced tammany proceeds on the basis of political business: so many positions for so many votes. It boots little or nothing whether these votes be white or black. The Irish Democrats of Boston used to say to the Negroes: "Come join in with us to capture the city and we will divide the spoils." But the Puritan Republicans looked upon public service with too much sanctity to share the fruits of victory with any but those of the Brahmin class. Big Bill Thompson, it seems, played the game according to the lower principles of political ethics. The Negroes, all but to a man, voted for his program. He was not ungrateful. Indeed, ingratitude is not a vice of the political opportunist. This peculiar brand of vice is reserved for the political Puritan. Thus the Negro race became ensnared in the Yours very sincerely. The Negro in the World's Literature BY THOMAS L. G. OXLEY Langston Hughes Poet (1902 —) LANGSTON HUGHES, the Joplin, Mo., poet, was born in 1902. He attended high school in Cleveland, O.; taught school in Mexico for a year, and has traveled extensively. Hughes is among the group of America's youngest Negro poets. And he was the first to evince creative ability in the syncopation of jazz poetry. But it was not until two years ago that he became renowned in Negro literature by winning the first prize offered by Opportunity Magazine. His "Weary Blues" captured the first prize, immediately brought him before the eyes of the public and, by the aid of some close friends, enabled him to publish a volume of his poems. A. Langston Hughes meshes of an unsavory regime, which became a stench in the nostrils of the nation. Negroes received their allotted proportion of the offices, but verily, verily, they have their reward. But their condemnation, I fear, goes much deeper. The Negro's attachment to the political fortune of Big Bill Thompson has given the race an evil reputation in some influential quarters. It has aligned him against political decency and good government. It is to be hoped, however, that an analysis of the vote will show that the Negro voters in large numbers broke loose from the unholy allegiance and joined with the overwhelming number of their white fellow voters to put an end forever to such orgies. It is needless to say that the Negro's highest interest in politics is of a moral rather than of a material nature. He must align himself with the forces of righteousness, and not with the league of iniquity. We are glad, however, that Martin B. Madden survived, notwithstanding the political necessity which linked his fortune, in this issue, with the big boss of unsevere reputation. The Negro vote dominates a Congressional unit in the city of Chicago. It is so organized as to make this dominance politically effective. There is no other political unit in the country that is under the control of Negro forces. At an early date we may confidently expect a Negro Congressman from Chicago. But Mr. Madden has served the race so faithfully, so efficiently and so influentially that it would be the height of political unwisdom to replace him ruthlessly, merely for the sake of substituting a Negro. Mr. Madden is now 70 years old. He has reached a very high station in public life. In the sure course of events he will shortly be called to higher stations or will retire voluntarily from his place in Congress. Then comes the time to send a competent Negro as his successor. It is not for an outsider, especially one without relation to practical politics, to say who this representative shall be; but it is a safe guess to say that it will be a man who has not bowed his knee to Big Bill Thompson. The time fast approaches when we are to have four or five Negro members of Congress. In New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Baltimore we shall shortly have a sufficient number of Negroes segregated in compact areas to control the political destiny of the several Congressional districts. It will require the skill of the political geographer to grymander the race out of its political opportunity. Then once more we may expect to hear the voice of the Negro pleading his own cause. Chicago will lead the way. The recent political upheaval but clears the field. The forces of evil must first be destroyed. A Negro Congressman tied up to an unhallowed regime would do the race more harm than good. Who does rejoice that Big Bill's house of unhallowed repute has fallen on his ears, and a new order of things is about to be ushered in? ROSENWALD, STOREY GIVE TO N.A.A.C.P Julius Rosenwald has made a gift of $1,000 toward the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and on the same day a check for $250 arrived from Moorfield Story of Boston, the N. A. A. C. P. national president. There is very little grace in all that he writes. But his lines show power of originality more than anything else. Whatever delightful qualities can be found in his minor productions, their exceeding richness and melody of language, their sweetness of fancy, their picturesque epithets, their elegance, their paintings of natural scenery, are here combined in an equal or superior degree. The present century has produced few specimens of the blank verse of so powerful and simple a character as those of Hughes. "The Wenry Blues" is now a popular poem (although far from being a great poem or one of poetic qualities), not merely because it is done in blank verse, but because of its language and imagery, as well as its picturesqueness. To some the poem is rite, commonplace; to others it possesses thought, loftiness of theme—grandure of style. Hughes may be a homely and even a gloomy poet in the eye of fastidious criticism; but there is a masculine and pronounced character, even in his gloom and homeliness, that keeps it most distinctly apart from either dullness or vulgarity. His style pleases most always, but sometimes he is flat and insipid. It is his only fault and yet it pleases like the powerful expression of a contenance without regular beauty. The songs and amatory—if that they are—are generally good, but they exert no powerful effect on the feeling or the fancy, and are enfeebled by prolxity. The only time when Hughes is at his best is when he sets his music to Negro themes. I quote him from the poem en- titled "Cross:" My old man's a white old man And my old mother's black If ever I cursed my white old man I take my curses back. If ever I cursed my black old mother And wished she were in hell, I'm sorry for that evil wish And now I wish her well. My old man died in a fine big house. My Ma died in a shack: I wonder where I'm gonna die, Being either white nor black. Langston Hughes is the jazz poet of the Negro. Jazz is the very life stream of his poetry. He continues at the rate he is now going, who can tell what Time holds for him? At present, Mr. Hughes is a student at Lincoln University, Chester County, Pa. Lynchings Numerous Basing his article on the lynching figures contained in "Thirty Years of Lynching" and supplements to date, Earle Fiske Young writes on "Lynching and Political Areas" in the March-April number of Sociology and Social Research, published at the University of Southern California. Mr. Young finds very few exceptions to the rule "that the larger the population of a county the lower the rate of lynching tends to become." "It greater freedom from the ill effects of local prejudice can be secured by the use of larger areas of political control," writes Mr. Young, "why should not the state itself be made the arbiter of the more difficult problems of race relations? Of the nation? The proposal of a national anti-lynching law was, in fact, a move in this direction." Mr. Young finds that part of the present difficulties arise from the survival of traditional political forms rooted in local loyalties and the exclusion of the Negro from all but larger political and social orders than those existing in sparsely populated and small counties. Locke Has Article In Current Nation "Beauty instead of Ashes" is the title of the feature article by Amin Locke in today's issue of The Nation. Speaking of Negro art, he says in part: "For the present, Negro art advance has one foot on its own original soil and one foot on borrowed ground. If it is allowed to make its national contribution, as it should, there is no anomaly in the situation but instead an advantage. It holds for the moment its racialism in solution, ready to pour into the mainstream if the cultural forces gravitate that way. "Negro artists have made a creditable showing, but after all is the artistic resources of Negro life and experience that give this statement force."
