OSCAR DE PRIEST SELECTION CAUSES RIPPLE ON POLITICAL SEA OF NATION
REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections
POLICE FAIL IN FIRST ATTACK ON BASEBALL POOL
Fourteen Alleged Agents of Lottery Based on Daily Scores Freed for Lack of Evidence When They Are Arraigned in Court
The police war upon baseball pool, a chance game based upon the daily scores of the big league teams, caused the arrest of Henry Forrester, 47, 137 West 141st street, and William Lytle, 52, 32 West 132d street, at the latter's home, where Patrolman Snell of the Eighteenth division said he found 155 books of stubs used in playing the game.
Patrolman Snell and two other officers waited around until fourteen alleged agents for Forrester and Lytle came in with their collections and stub books. They all very readily confessed that they were agents, he said, and that they were paid 10 and 15 per cent on their collections while a few received a flat salary of $15 a week for working at night. The officer confiscated about $283.32 cash and a check for $50 made payable to Lytle.
All were charged with violating the lottery law when arraigned before Magistrate Flood in Heights Court Monday morning. They were dismissed.
Magistrate Flood ruled that since the officer saw no bets placed or any other financial transaction occur the prisoners could not be held and that he considered their confession as corroboration without direct evidence.
The other prisoners were: Andrew Payne, 31, 174 West 137th street; Vincent Larague, 33, 275 West 146th street; Leon Ferris, 43, 48 St. Nicholas place; Sylvester Hall, 68, 114 West 143d street; Stanley Boles, 33, 2460 Seventh avenue; Jesse Fields, 36, 204 West 141st street; Edwin Mitchell, 22, 200 Bradhurst avenue; Cliff McWillie, 24, 108 West 141st street; William Sheer, 28, 234 West Twenty-eighth street; James Robinson, 41, 68 West 134th street; Leon Ferris, 55, 174 West 137th street; Tom Girard, 32 white, 438 West 17th street, and William Colline, 30, white, 552 West 186th street.
Man Taken to Hospital Dies; Assailant Unknown
The death at Harlem Hospital early Monday morning of Butch Blump, 29, 26 West 129th street, from a stab wound in the abdomen and left eye spurred the police to a new effort to find his assault. A searching investigation by Detective Kammeler of the West 123rd street station revealed that Blump had been out all night Sunday and had gotten into a fight and was stabbed. Despite his wounds he staggered home. Someone called in Pattonham Herman of the same station and Blump was removed to Harlem Hospital, where he died before Detective Kammeler could obtain any information from him.

BROLLINGHAM GENCY
110 East 81st Street
Harlem 3812 (day) Brad, 0917 (night)
After running away from a hospital for mental defectives, Horace Gaines, 17, 70 West 131st street was shot and killed by Patrolman Walter Siemers of the West 132nd street station, who said he apprehended Gaines in the act of trying to burglarize a laundry at 105 West 129th street, about 2 o'clock Thursday morning.
Mrs. Pauline Gaines, the youth's mother, called at the police station and identified his body. Funeral services were held Sunday from Clinton Brooks' funeral parlors, 149 West 128th street.
Mrs. Gaines said that her son has been mentally defective since the age of five. He was a newsboy. In January he was sent to Bellevue Hospital for observation and about a month ago was transferred to Randallis island in a child's hospital for the mentally defective, from which the youth escaped twice before.
Mrs. Gaines had been notified of his third and last escape and was in the streets looking for him at the time of the shooting.
Officer Siemers Explains.
A reporter interviewed Patrolman Siemers on his post about 3 a.m. Sunday and was told the following story: He said that he and Patrolman Peter Tally of the same station went to the scene upon receiving information that a burglar was in the laundry. They spent at least twenty minutes examining the premises.
Patrolman Siemers stated that he went to the home of the proprietor of the haberdashery store which adjoins the laundry, aroused him from bed, and returned and entered the place with a key.
In the small lavatory hallway between the two stores they heard a noise and the breaking of glass. By the Hight of their flashlights they saw the figure of a man frantically making an exit through the small lavatory window. he said.
"I cried, 'Halt!' four times and fired once into the ceiling, but the man did not stop." said Patrolman Siemers. "I saw him reach one hand behind him and told, Pete to stand back. Then I fired one shot at him—no, I did not shoot five times—and as the figure was doubled up at the window the bullet grazed his right thigh, entered the left thigh, passed up through his stomach and lodged in his chest. The District Attorney exonerated me of all blame. I was surprised to learn afterwards that such a big follow-up was only 17 years old. Gaines had never arrested the day before on a charge of bullying, but was dismissed for lack of evidence when arranged in Heights Court before Magistrate Well. Police declare that Gaines' alleged pendant for stolling caused his confinement in the Bellevue observation ward in January.
It is reported that the boy's father, Oble Gaines, met his death in a similar manner.

WASHINGTON. D. C., May 7.—J. Williams Clifford, a graduate of Howard University, has been appointed a United States inspector of customs at New York City. He resigned his position as a Federal narcotic agent in order to accept this new appointment. His salary will be $5,000 a year. The late Senator Frank B. Willis and Senator Slimeon D. Fess, Republican of Ohio, and Charles D. Hillies of New York City, vice-chairman of the Republican National Committee, supported him for the place. Clifford's native home is in Cleveland, O. His father, William H. Clifford, served two terms in the Ohio State Legislature.
Alleged Bootlegger Who
Slew Three Is Killed
MIDDLETOOWN, Ohio, May 7.—Having narrowly escaped lynching and facing the electric chair for shooting to death two Middletown policemen with a revolver wrenched from the hand of one of them late Saturday, George McCullem, 26, a bootlegger of Middletown, fell probably fatally wounded under machine gun fire of the Middletown police as he attempted to escape from an automobile conveying him from Hamilton to Middletown this afternoon. Middletown had been spirited to the Hamilton Jail early Sunday to prevent lynching at the hands of a mob of 200 which collected at the Middletown Jail.
On the way back to Middletown for arrangement, the officer holding the chain to McCullem's handcuff laid it down to light a cigarette. The prisoner jumped from the automobile and was shot. He is expected to die.

Commissioner Warren to Investigate Jim-Crow Tactics of Precinct Captain
Aldermen Hawkins and Moore Explain Their Stand in Bringing Matter to the Attention of the Board of Aldermen
An echi, was made Friday to fix responsibility for the segregation of Negro patrolmen of the Sixteenth precinct at the reception-parade for the Bremen flyers, at which time Captain John J. Noble, skipper of the West 135th street station, ordered a Jim-crow roll call and put the Negro patrolmen behind the bushes at Madison Square Park with their backs turned to the parade.
A reporter called on Mayor Walker for an interview, but Hizzon was not at home. Alderman John Clifford Hawkins, who brought the matter up early last week before the Board of Aldermen, stated that he desires to know who gave the Jim-crow order — Mayor Walker, Police Commissioner Warren or Captain Noble personally. "Also, I would set at rest the rumor that I protested a colored man," said Alderman Hawkins.
"I did state that I lived in a colored district. The matter of appropriating $15,000 for the entertaining of Prince Spada Potenziana, the Mayor of Rome, was up before the Board and I asked that it be laid
Taxi Drivers Save Kiddies From Fire
Hear Woman's Screams and Brave Flames to Effect Rescue
Two taxi drivers proved themselves heroes in saving the lives of two children Monday during a fire at 222 West 128th street.
They were William Scott. 493 West 130th street, and William Clancy. 267 East Ninety-fifth street, who said they were driving east on 128th street when they saw smoke coming from the ground floor at 222. They stopped and rushed into the building and saw Mrs. Rebecca Boyd in the hallway, screaming.
She told them that two small children were trapped in her bedroom beyond the kitchen, which was on fire.
The heroes dashed through the flames into the bedroom beyond and found 18-months-old Juanita Brown and four-year-old Raymond Brown crouching behind the bed. Their mother, Mrs. Marlon Brown, the auntress, had left them in Mrs. Boyd's care and the fire had started in some unknown manner when Mrs. Boyd left the apartment for a few moments.
The children were rescued without injury. Firemen arrived, confined the blaze to the kitchen and extinguished it.
Hoover. Senator Blease attributed the defeat of Senator Simeon D. Fess, Republican, of Ohio, for delegate at large to the Republican national convention to the order of Secretary Hoover putting together white and colored employees in the census bureau.
He has been told, Senator Blease stated, that friends of both Secretary Hoover and Governor Smith have been making promises that a Negro will be put in the Cabinet if either of these two candidates should be elected.
Senator Blease expressed the hopes that Illinois and New York will send Negroes to Congress, "I want to walk over," he said, and "see one of Hoover's black chocolates sitting around with some of the white people over there who seem to love him so well."
He warned against race riots. "I warn you people," he said, that when you turn the Negro man loose in a
aside for the moment. Incidentally we had just appropriated $60,000 for the Bremen flyers' welcome. I then spoke of the matter of segregating the Negro policemen and branded it as extremely unreasonable and unfair. I said that I hoped that when the Mayor of Rome is received here such discrimination would not be permitted."
**Hawkins' Action "Regretted"**
Alderman Peter J. McGuinna, white, arose and said he had seen Negro policemen on duty at City Hall, indicating that no discrimination had been practiced; while Charles A. McManus, white, Vice-Chairman of the Board, said that the jim-crow action must have been "purely accidental."
Alderman Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age, arose and confirmed Alderman Hawkins' charges. When seen by a reporter Friday afternoon, Mr. Moore was asked: "Did you say that you regretted that Alderman Hawkins brought the matter up before the Board?"
"I stated," he replied, "that I did not believe the Board of Aldermen was the place to bring the matter in, and that it was purely a matter for the Police Commissioner. Why should the color question be brought up before the Board unless the Board had been charged with discrimination?" Mr. Moore then stated that he had brought the matter to the attention of Commissioner Warren and that he knew definitely that the Commissioner has started an investigation.
"Nothing to Say"
A reporter called at Captain Noble's office Saturday afternoon and asked him: "Captain, what have you to say about those newspaper stories, and did you receive an order from Mayor Walker or Commissioner Warren to segregate the patrolmen?" With a slow gesture he replied, cordially: "My boy, I have nothing to say about those stories at all." He also declined to state who gave the Jim-crow order.
DeVaughan Acquitted
David DeVaughan, 1310 Park avenue, who was arrested on March 23 on the complaint of Virginia Washington, 2090 Madison avenue, was acquitted of the charge by a jury before Judge Rosalisky in Part II of General Sessions last Wednesday morning. He was represented by Attorney Myles A. Palge, 200 West 135th street.
riot with whatever arms he may be able to accumulate, and turn the Negro woman, the virgo, loose with a torch, God save you people who are acting as you are toward them to-day! While he is out fighting you with whatever weapons he may get, she is with a torch under the house where your wife and children are sleeping, for when aroused these women are more dangerous than their men."
Senator Helfin wants to know how Governor Smith and his Tammany backers stand on the Negro question, and the position of the Governor, Mayor Walker and other Tammany Democrats on the question of social equality.
When a demand was made by Negro political clubs of New York, Boston and Chicago for passage of an anti-antichaining bill, he said, Governor Smith and Tammany Democrats were appealed to in vain. Not a Tammany Democrat, he declared.

Tinkham Sought Stand and Reduction of Southern Representation
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 7—No reply to his letter to Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates asking for a declaration of their attitude regarding enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the Constitution has been received, Representative George Holden Tinkham, Republican, of Massachusetts announced last Tuesday.
There has been only one acknowledgment. It came from the secretary of one of the candidates.
In his letter Representative Tinkham asked each candidate whether he favors enforcement of the mandatory provision in the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, which provides that there shall be a reduction of representation in the House of Representatives and in the Electoral College in proportion to the disfranchisement which exists in certain states.
This letter was sent to Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, former Governor Frank O. Lowden, Senator Charles Curtis, Senator James E. Watson, Senator Guy D. Goff and Senator George W. Norris, Republicans, and Governor Alfred E. Smith, Senator James A. Reed, Governor Albert C. Ritchie, Senator Thomas J. Walsh and Senator Walter F. George, Democrats. It was sent to them on April 23.

White Political Observers Depend Upon Negroes' Failure to Get Together to Prevent Direct Congressional Representation
CH1CAGO, May 7. — A Negro to sit in Congress. This precocious declaration holds today the breathless interest of black and white America and promises to create a storm of great fury upon the political sea. Last Tuesday afternoon Oscar De Priest, fighting political boss from the Third ward, was named to succeed the late Congressman Martin B. Madden, Republican, by a committee of five (including himself) from the First Congressional District. The regular nomination is tantamount to election, it is said.
Yet there is the fear that he may not win, as he is opposed by two factions of his political enemies. William J. Dawson a candidate who ran against the late Congressman Madden for renomination and made a good showing, indicated that he would challenge the selection of De Priest, on the ground that the committeemen who made the choice were unqualified by not having received their election certificates following the April election.
2 "Policy" Bankers Get Prison Terms Similar Penalty Imposed on Two Collectors
Two "numbers" bankers, two collectors and four players of the policy game were given sentences ranging from two months in the workhouse to thirty days' suspended sentence when Judges Kelly, Murphy and Fetherton, sitting in Part I of Special Sessions Monday morning, pronounced sentence on the defendants.
The two "financiers" are John Lewis, formerly of 125 East Ninety-seventh street, and James Harris, who made his home at 210 East 110th street. They were both arrested on Feb. 21 in an apartment at 206 East 100th street, at which time 206 policy slips and hundreds of dollars representing the collections for that date were found in their possession. They were sent to the workhouse for sixty days each.
Frank Woods, 36, 256 West 146th street, and Ethel Goodrich, 26, 2613 Eighth avenue, were the two convicted of "numbers" collecting. A similar penalty was imposed on them.
Those who received suspended sentences were: Flowers Lavainia, 31, 267 West 126th street; James Orr, 36, 283 Monroe street; Joseph St. George, 50. 138 West 112th street, and Ernest White, 33, 207 West 140th street.
Jacob Linde, 32, 200 Third avenue, convicted of pett larceny; Charles Hendrickson, 58, 5 West 126th street, who gave his occupation as a roaming house proprietor, and William J. Valentine, 26, 1317 Avenue A, both of whom pleaded guilty to charges of possessing firearms, also Irving Abbott, 52, 255 the Bowery, convicted on a charge of possessing drugs, were all sent to the penitentiary for a term not less than six months nor more than three years.
Coolidge May Be Drawn Into Porters' Fight
According to A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the strike now being taken throughout the country will force President Coolidge to intervene with a view to preventing an interruption of interstate commerce. Under Section 10 of the Railway Labor Act, which was enacted by Congress and signed by President Coolidge, the President is required to appoint a fast-finding body or an Emergency Board whichever the United States Mediation Board recommends same as result of the denunciation of the exhaltation of an emergency among a section of railway employees as a result of the strike vote.
The Pullman porters will strike if the President should not intervene.
There is little merit in the Dawson argument, election officials declare, William Harrison, Assistant Attorney-General, announced. . . he will run against De Priest if in Dawson petition is denied. Independent leaders have petitioned Governor Len Small to call a special election to fill the unexpired term of Congressman Madden and that the name of the man chosen be placed on the Republican ticket in the November election.
De Priest "India Rubber Man"
There are many who would have preferred seeing nominated Attorney Louis Anderson, Edward H. Wright or Major R. R. Jackson to De Priest. If the present controversy is continued and the field is filled with candidates, a white candidate—perhaps a Democrat—will win.
"I am not worried by the situation," said De Priest. "The law is plain and, if it becomes necessary, the committee will sustain the validity of its action in the courts, going as far as the Supreme Court, if necessary.
For many years De Priest has been a power in Cook County politics. His rise has been steady, and if defended his ability and politicalunning have brought him back with even greater power. He is called "the india rubber man" in Chicago politics.
"I have no political enemies to punish, if elected," he said. "I steed, I hope that the two factions will unite and show an undivided front in the November elections for, after all, we are all Republicans."
Selfishness, Negro's Sin
As in all other crises where the Negro was tragically in need of unity and organization, his selfishness again strikes at the root of his accomplishments and rise to power. Fear of losing their Federal jobs is said to be the reason for the young Negroes' opposition to be De Priest. Congressman Madden dominated the district for 25 years, having been sent to Congress twelve times, because he was the best provider of Negro jobs in the United States, it is reported. Half the latter carriers are Negroes, the Federal Building is almost manned by them, and all Government ware houses employ them by the hum doors. It is greatly feared that De Priest may not be able to repeat Madden's record of hand-working. The modern, educated, "intellectuals" are said to have him because the Southern film him as one of the old Southern school so well known at National Republican Convention; that, lacking college education and his practice of ward politics and experiences, he is "unfit" to reflect honor upon his race. They all point to the graft scandal which involved De Priest during his term as Alderman, when he was indicted on a charge of being about $3,000 from vice dents. He was acquitted on the defense that he received the money for campaign expenses.

Brokaw did not give any definite address, but told the court that at one time he was employed by one John Garrett, a colored "banker," whom he said took him around to the various "number" collectors and passed him off as a genius "banker" with office at 200 West 155th street. He also testified that Garrett paid him a big salary for acting the part, and that everything was "take" until one day when the "hits" amounted to $700.
"Then," the witness testified, "Garrett disappeared with all of the money and my salary, and left me to handle all of the complaints from the various collectors whose clients had 'hit' the 'numbers' on that data."
He also testified that Jones, whose hits for that day had amounted to several hundreds of dollars, had a conversation with him over the phone and had threatened his life.
Brokw went to Police Headquarters and reported the incident which resulted in the raiding of the Jones home on the morning of March 24 by Inspector Valentine's "Flying Squad." Edward Beckles, 306 West 129th street, who was are rested along with Jones on the morning of the raid, was also are raigned on a similar charge Friday morning. He pleaded guilty, however, and was given thirty days suspended sentence.
Shortly after the raid, Jones' attorney, Demerald H. Williams, 206 West 135th street, filed a complaint with Police Commissioner Joseph A. Warren, alleging brutality and unlawful entry by the raiding squad. A subsequent police departmental investigation was had at headquarters, but the findings were withheld pending the outcome of the case Friday.
Jones was remanded for sentencing.
Dogs Have Their Day;
Five Persons Bitten
Friday was "dog day" for four men who were chewed by angry canines.
Alexander Bailey, 65, 105 West 115th street, was hitten on the right arm and wrist at 295 West 147th street James Swan, 50, 309 West 144th street, suffered a laceration of the left leg at the teeth of a dog owned by the Rev. Mr. Mack at 124 West 135th street.
Booker Wilson, 26, 420 St. Nicholas avenue, received a laceration of the calf of the left leg which was "sampled" by the canine property of George Bellis at 29 West 130th street. John King, 25, 2473 Seventh avenue, was chewed on the left leg by a dog in a garage at 44 West 145th street.
All were treated by physicians from Harlem Hospital who were at a loss to explain why all but one of the dogs conspired to attack the left leg.
Ice Company President Brands Report False
Charges of unfair treatment of Negro icemen were branded as false by W. B. Kirkpatrick, white, president and general manager of the New Colonial Ice Company. Eighth avenue and 151st street, in an interview Monday with a reporter of The Amsterdam News. The whole trouble, he said, is confined to one Porto Rican iceman, who, aside from owing him $400, has cut his prices on ice in a territory rightly belonging to an Italian iceman from whom he seeks revenge for an old privilege. It was admitted that the Italian iceman did threaten to withdraw his business from the Colonial unless something was done about the alleged unfair tactics of the colored iceman in question. "All the colored men are satisfied but this man," said Mr. Kirkpatrick, "as I have always made it a rule to do everything in my power to protect our colored customers and to give them more than an even break."
Oscar De Priest May Be Opposed
Oscar De Priest May Be Opposed
(Continued from Page 1.)
1895 he went into business for himself, following the painting and decorating trade, for which he received training in Kansas. He later went into the real estate business, in which he is now active. In 1912 he was elected Alderman from the Second Ward and was the first Negro Alderman in Chicago. He had already met Madden and the two young men formed a friendship that lasted throughout their lifetime. When the First District was more than two-thirds white De Priest campaigned for Madden, who often expressed the wish that De Priest would succeed him.
De Priest has always been a stout supporter of Mayor Thompson. In his recent selection as Congressman the Mayor is said to have given him no voice of support. The committeemen who nominated De Priest were composed of Daniel Martella, white; Daniel Jackson, Oscar Martella, Priest; Y. S. Flinacue, white, and John Oberta, white, presenting the First, Second, Third, Eleventh and Thirteenth Wards, respectively.
Represents Chicago's Wall St.
With the exception of Wall street, in New York, the First District, which De. Priest has been chosen to represent, is the wealthiest district in the United States. Here is located the famous Chicago Loop with its multiplying skyscrapers, its great financial institutions and department stores. Bordering on the Loop are the Art Institute, the Field Museum, the site of the new opera house, two great railroad terminals and the stretch of Michigan avenue known as "Autumn Row." Chicago's "black belt" begins south of the Loop and extends down into Hyde Park, where the University of Chicago is located. The Hyde Park region is populated by 120,000 Negroes, and perhaps one-half of that number live in the First District.
Congress Can't Jim-Crow Him
"That De Priest will be sent to Congress seems an assured fact," and the New York World declares that, whether or not it is De Priest who will be elected, "it is settled that a Negro will represent the First District."
It will be the first time a Negro will have sat in Congress in 27 years, the late George H. White, Republican from North Carolina, being the last. "As the First Congressional District of Illinois is solidly Republican and 80 per cent colored, his (De Priest's) election is assured," says a political writer at AAC. If a Negro Congressman is elected from this city, then Negro districts in New York, Indiana, Massachusetts, Ohio and elsewhere will strive vigorously to emulate the example, and white America will doubtless scratch its political head where it doesn't itch.
There can be no Jim-Crow system in Congress. De Priest, or whoever is elected, will have his table in the House restaurant, his office and his secretary. He can command the services of the committee clerks, archivists, librarians and pages, and will partake of the immunity conferred by a Congressional tag on his motor car. It is highly improbable that this hardworking civilian will slight any of his privileges. Incidentally, De Priest is a lawyer and a good one, thus adding to his capabilities for fighting the battle of 14,000,000 Negroes. De Priest must face the vivid hatred and chilling bitterness of the white Southern Congressmen who will oppose him.

Plans for Raising That Amount Discussed at Y.M.C.A.Meeting
Money-raising plans for Max Yergen's $47,000 college in Africa near Cape Town were earnestly discussed by a representative group at a special meeting and dinner Thursday evening at the West 137th Street Branch Y. W. C. A. Channing H. Tobias, senior secretary of the national Y. M. C. A. work among Negroes, was the principal speaker, Attorney E. A. Johnson, former assembler, presided and was named as chairman of a special committee to discuss the plans. Mr. Yergen, who has established nearly forty Y. M. C. A. centers in Africa, recently sailed for that continent with the promise from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., that he would be given $25,000 provided he raised $22,000 amt Negroes here. Mr. Yergen succeeded in obtaining $10,000 in cash and pledges before he left. Thursday's meeting was held to formulate plans for raising the remaining $12,000.
Florence Reed, white, president of Spelman College at Atlanta, Ga., came from that city to attend the meeting. Mr. Tobias revealed that Miss Read was responsible for Mr. Yergen's getting an audience with Mr. Rockefeller, and that she herself gave $5,000 cash to establish Mr. Yergen in a home in Africa. Miss Reed spoke of how profoundly she had been impressed with Mr. Yergen's deep sincerity and his utter forgetfulness of self.
Mr. Tobias scored the Negro's superficial display of wealth, especially in Harlem, and stated that many white people often asked him if he had appealed to the wealthy class of Negroes for aid. "Let our white friends know, therefore, that we do not always have to be carried," he said.
Mrs. Alexander Walters, widow of the late Bishop Walters and head of

White Auto School Head Suggests Jim-Crow Line
Aowing that he cannot control the belligerent and prejudiced attitude of the students at his school, W. H. Howard, white, president of the Stewart Automobile School, 253 West sixty-fourth street, offers Negro applicants the alternative of forming a Jim-Crow class, and in the same breath stated that his school had no policy of discrimination.
Mr. Stewart gave this information Thursday to a reporter who called to know why Walter Howard, 328 Lenox avenue, and another applicant had been denied admission to a class in automobile instruction. Howard said he was given the same information and that he was told by one of the officials that the school had "no facilities" for teaching Negro applicants.
Mr. Stewart said, in effect, that the white students practically ran Negro students out of the classes.
Detectives Trail and Nab Alleged Mail Thief
Said to be a mail thief, John Turner, 40, no home, who said his last address was 219 West 142d street, was arrested Friday by Detectives Boyden and Winterhalter of the West 135th street station, who said they saw him steal mail from boxes in three houses and arrested him in his last act, at 8:30 Edgecombe avenue.
Starting at 128th street and Eighth avenue, the detectives trailed Turner for a half-hour and found several letters in his possession when they took him into custody, they say. Turner was turned over to Postal Inspector Looney and was held without bail for trial in Federal Court. Last December Turner spent ninety days in the Tombs prison for a similar offense, police records show.

"Frats" Stress Higher Learning
"Frats" Stress Higher Learning
"Education is the means to a higher civilization; through education we become inspired by the achievements of the past; education increases our earning power and is a dynamic element in solving our personal problems."
The true purpose of education was thus epitomized by Robert P. Daniels, professor of education at Virginia Union University (now taking graduate work at Columbia University), in an address upon the occasion of the ninth annual educational program of the Alpha Gamma Lambda and Eta Chapters of the Alphn Phi Alpha Fraternity, Sunday afternoon, at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, 120th street and Lenox avenue.
The program terminated the fraternity's "Go-to-High-School — Goto-College" week, which began April 29.
Channing H. Toblas, national Y. M. C. A. executive secretary, and the Rev. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet, also addressed the meeting. Instrumental and vocal solos were rendered by Prof. Lyndon Hoffman Caldwell and Mrs. Christine Caldwell, respectively. Two hundred Boy Scouts, headed by Pierre Marshall, were also in attendance.
DISSOUTION SOUGHT OF
30-YEAR-OLD MARRIAGE
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 7.
A marriage of thirty yours is ending in the divorce court. Mrs. Coole V. Holland, 206 N. street northwest, who was married June 22, 1898, fitted suit last Thursday in the District Supreme Court for a limited divorce from Benjamin P. Holland, Gum Springs, Va. She charges desertion.
Are You Nervous Run Down Weak?
To have "pep" and ambition, and the ability to do a big day's work and feel "like a two year old" at night, you must eat three good meals a day, reish your food and properly digest it. It you can't eat, can't sleep, can't work, just take a teaspoonful of Tanlac three times a day before meals.
Mrs. Harriett Grimes of 31 Shields Ave, Buffalo, N.Y., writes to: "My appetite and digestion were all upset. I was tormented with headaches and dizzy spells. My daughter advised me to take Tanlac. Now I feel so fine that I can sweep, clean or cook all day."
Tanlac is wonderful for indigestion and constipation—gas, pains, nausea, dizziness and headaches. It brings back lost appetite, helps you digest your food, and gain strength and weight. It contains no gluten, it leaves parks and herbs, nature's own medicines for the sick. The cost is less than 2 cents a dose. Get a bottle from your druggist and give it a thorough trial. Your money back if it doesn't help you.

White Attorney Testifies That Dr. P. M. H. Savory Sen Him a Total of 139 Cases Also Cites His Record of Fairness to Clients
Samuel E. Neuman, white, 299 Broadway, a negligence attorney, who is accused of cheating his client, Mrs. Anna Neal, 64 West 144th street, out of $55 (perhaps $105), was caught Friday in the adroit legal trap of Isador Kresel, chief counsel for the inquiry now being conducted in Supreme Court before Mr. Justice Wasservogel, who directed Mr. Kresel to turn "this most flagrant case" over to the District Attorney for presentation to the Grand Jury.
Mr. Kresel stated that he will recommend that Neuman be prosecuted on a charge of grand larceny. In 1915 Neuman was suspended from practicing law for one year. At that time he spelled his name Newman.
Mrs. Neal testified that a friend recommended Neuman to her following the accidental burning of her son, Austin, 12, by gasoline in front of a garage. A settlement of $600 was obtained, $300 for the boy's injuries and $200 for the mother's loss of services.
WASHINGTON DENTIST DEFENDANT IN SUIT
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 7. Damages in the sum of $5,000 is asked of Dr. Merrill Curtis, a dentist with offices at 1939 Thirteenth street northwest, in a suit filed by Miss Maud Coleman, 1943 S street northwest, in the District Supreme Court last Monday.
An alleged assault on Dec. 15, last, when Dr. Curtis attempted to
A court order was produced to show that Neuman's fee in the boy's case was $45. In the mother's case he was entitled to $100 on a fifty-fifty bases. This would leave $355 due Mrs. Neal, who testified that she only received $250.
"Why did you cheat her out of $105?" asked Mr. Kresel of Neuman, who was called to the stand.
Neuman denied cheating Mrs. Neal and stated that his agreement with her had been "modified" whereby she agreed to share in "additional expenses" which, he said, amounted to $100.
Neuman reluctantly admitted that Mrs. Neal objected to this but later agreed to pay half, or $50. Even then she should have received $305. Under hot cross-questioning Neuman did not deny this nor did he explain what became of the $55 due his client.
"My God, do you think you have a right to practice law!" thundered Mr. Kresel.
"As much as you have," Neuman replied nonchalantly. When questioned about his records Neuman testified that all his cancelled checks, stubs, papers, files and memoranda covering cases in 1327 and for the last ten years had been "landvertently" thrown away.
52 Negro Doctors in Quiz
According to records in the investigator's office, 55 Harlem physicians recommended 709 persons who had accident cases to Attorney Samuel R. Robinson, white, 291 Broadway, from August, 1925, to March, 1928, and all but three of these doctors were Negroes.
Dr. P. M. H. Savory, 119 West 131st street, who was called to testify early last week, led the list with 139 cases, or about 50 cases a year. Seventeen other doctors recommended from 10 to 61 cases each for the same period, while the remaining 35 recommended less than ten.
On the same day that Dr. Savory took the stand Doctors Godfrey Nurse, 185 West 135th street, and Joseph R. Warren, 141 West 138th street, also testified.
The medical trio denied receiving any monetary compensation from Robinson for recommending persons to him but did so, they said, mostly as an act of friendship. Dr. Savory said that Robinson had given him "Christmas presents." The only fee they received, the physician said, was for medical services rendered in these cases. Several other physicians were called to testify, but were excused until further notice.
**Thinks Publicity Unfair**
When interviewed by a reporter Robinson said: "I think The Amsterdam News has treated me and the Negro physicians of Harlem most unfair in the stories published of this matter. I resent having my name linked with Observer (a white negligence attorney accused of forging releases in accident cases), and by inference stating that I am dishonest.**
"I have never taken a penny from any of my clients dishonestly. I have always played fair with them, especially with any colored clients, for whom I obtained settlements in amounts which, I believe, other lawyers could not get for them.
Robinson testified the same day the doctors were called. He told the court that his office handled about 4,000 negligence cases in two years and that between 60 and 65 per cent of this business came from Harlem Negroes.
He told how he and his partner, Attorney Raphael, white, had cultivated friendly relations with the Negro doctors and admitted that they sent him most of his cases. His "arrangement" with them, he said, consisted mainly of giving them free legal service.
"They have gone through all my records," said Robinson, "and have found everything straight. They will not get anything on me."
Barring of two ex-soldiers from hospital treatment which they urgently needed in Wichita, Kan., has brought a sharp letter from James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to Winthrop Adams, acting medical director in Washington of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau.

An alleged assault on Dec. 15, last, when Dr. Curtis attempted to remove some bridge work which he had just put into her mouth, is the basis of the suit.

"I drive a car for hire," says Mr. Ike Sabel, of Gadsen, Ala., "and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I heard of her."
for a long time. The drug-
gist told me Black-Draught
would help me. I bought a
package and had it made in-
to tea and take it any time
I feel the need of a laxative.
It always helps me. I have
much better appetite after I
take Black-Draught. I can eat
about everything I want and
feel full of pep. I would not
be without it for double the
price." Black-Draught can be taken
dry or made into a tea, as you
prefer. Either way, it costs
only one cent a doso.

THE FEMINIST VIEWPOINT
M-O-T-H-E-R
SUNDAY, May 13, is Mother's Day. If your mother is dead, you are to wear a white flower, preferably a carnation, in memory of her. If your mother is living, among the many things you may do for her are these: Wear a colored flower, send her flowers, a greeting, a telegram, candy, a book and similar gifts. These little acts are merely outward expressions of your deep love, respect and thankfulness. For, after all, it is the true mother who shares willingly your pleasures and pains, your successes and failures.
Although the first observance of Mother's Day was held in 1910, it was not until three years later that Congress recommended its official observance by Federal offices. It was the late President Wilson who issued the first proclamation for a national observance on May 9, 1914.
Mayor Walker, who has been appealed to by a committee of ladies, wants to call the day Parents' Day instead of Mother's Day. We do need a Parents' Day, but, without a doubt, one day in 365 belongs to mother alone. If you have forgotten your mother all year long, remember her on Sunday.—T. E. B.
Invincible Elk Temple Honors Grand Escort of Order
Joining with the heads of the Temples, 500 members of the Improved, Benevolent, Protective, Order of Elks of the World, the vast majority of them Daughter Elks, gathered at Bamboo Inn Thursday night to honor Mrs. Rosa Lucas Blocker, grand escort, at a dinner given under the auspices of Invincible Temple No. 77, the local temple to which Mrs. Blocker is attached.
The place was specially decorated for the occasion. At the guest table were seated the following distinguished members of the order: Daughters Theresa Bacon, daughter ruler of Manhattan Temple; Estelle A. Alston, daughter ruler of Apex Temple; Abbie M. Johnson of Philadelphia, grand vice-daughter ruler; Buenna Kelly Gibbs of Norfolk, Va.; Emma V. Kelly, grand secretary of Norfolk; Laura E.

made short speeches, each lauding the grand escort for her work in New York.
Bouquets were presented to all of the officials and a large basket of flowers was presented to the honor guest by the Flower Club of Invincible Temple, while the temple gave Mrs. Blocker a diamond ring. Other temples also made presentations to the grand escort, who accepted them in a brief speech voicing her appreciation for everything.

Scores of Children Attend and Enjoy "Topsy Turvy Revue"
Over 1,500 persons, principally children, attended the twenty-sixth annual May entertainment of the Hope Day Nursery, Inc., 33 West 133d street, at Manhattan Casino on Friday night. Although most of the numbers in the "Topsy Turvy Revue," directed and staged by Misses Thelma Whitaker, Anna Small and Rae Olley, assisted by Goldie Whittington, were well executed, the following deserve special mention:
Breakfast.
START your day right. The most essential meal of the day is your breakfast. To eat well at the breakfast hour is like filling one's oil tanks for miles of riding, or putting on a working harness with every buckle securely fastened, or heating your oven for a day's baking.
Nutritively your breakfast should be the day's pedestal or base, a breeze as active as your own feet. Going without an adequate breakfast after the longest fast in the twenty-hour hours is like slaying the goose that lays the gold egg of a delightful and continuous supply of energy, or like crippling that supply.
Eat Well and Avoid Nerves and Fatigue.
About 11 o'clock in the day one begins to get generous returns from a good breakfast. This prevents the frazzling that workers get without having had breakfast. Most nervous people are simply half nourished people. Remember that is requires much food to run your body before the hands and brains can have their energy.
Food Deserves Study.
Surely you have the health, as well as the comfort, of your family at heart. Then you should read Mary Swartz Rose's book "Feeding the Family." Mrs. Rose has lists of food plans and dietaries for a sedentary man, a muscular active man, a thin man, a fat man, an active woman, a fat or thin woman, a nursing mother, as well as diet for children. A number of us have trained ourselves to eat only fruit juice and coffee in the morning, and maybe you feel filled after this. There will be however, a different feeling about 11 o'clock, should you try stewed

House Dress to Match Kitchen.
Some women with an eye for color are carrying their experiments not only through the dishes, the curtains and linoleum, but are actually buying their house dresses to match. Not long ago I visited a friend and found her wearing a cool green house dress. She had a green kitchen cabinet, mixing bowl, electric light shade and spoon handles, all in the shade of the dress. This was a very beautiful sight indeed.
Crystal Trees Popular at Dinner Table.
Crystal or other colored trees, whose stems are wound in alver or green thread, are no longer novelties, but are seen in most of the shops. These trees are usually mounted on blocks of crystal. Placed on a plateau mirror, they make a delicate and charming centerpiece. Though America's glass factories supply some of the loveliest and most effective table pieces in the shops, we also get some of the gorgeous and craftsmanlike bits from Europe.

Harper's New Show Next Week
Revue Formerly at 125th Street Night Club to Be at the Lafayette
The revue from the Swanese Club will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre next week. The revue will offer an effort and a said to be by far his most protentious. For its presentation at the Lafayette the revue has been bound to include the cast will include "Dunty" Fletcher. As a special added attraction with this revue the Lafayette will be joined by a cast of one of the best blues singers. The feature photoplay for the week will be "Chicago", the great film melodram which is based on the away melodramatic stage success.
CREOLE REVEL8 THIS WEEK.
Crocle Ravels was well received at the Lafayette Theatre at the opening matinee on Monday. Despite the mild westerer, a capacity for the curtain and the performance and from the rising of the curtain to the big finale, there was a succession of applauses and laughter.
Some of the best known performers in the East have been assembled for this production, as well as one of the finest stage bands. The cast includes Edith Wilson, Katherine Dugan, Lena Trio, Gant and Perkins, Lena Wilson and William Russell.
The chorus gave a good account of itself. Beautifully costumed, the performers wore dances, Leonard Puffin, co-producer of Cotton Club Revue, trained the girls.
The feature photoplay for the show was a gripping drama revolving around the reign of one of Russia's cruelest czars. This picture comes directly from a long run on Broadway.
While of an entirely different theme, the audience seemed to like it fully as well as they did the "Jazz Singer" last week.
Will Anderson Players Be Leaving the Lincoln?
A strong rumor has been gaining ground for the past two weeks that it is more than likely that the Idaho Academy will move from the Lincoln Theatre in the near future, unless certain conditions are met. For the past few weeks the Academy has been able to secure advance information on Monday night of the show to be presented the following week, leave it to the Academy to must be some foundation for the stories going the rounds in the theatrical circles. The Anderson Playhouse appeared in the last two big sets of "Within the Law" and they were never better. It is indeed cause for regret that part of the performance receives the greatest amount of applause at the hands of the people should be the one to leave unattended from the stage at this popular little house.
The coming of the sketches to the Lincoln Theatre not only found a warm response at the hands of the people, but gore to this section a moment. And not only did the dramatic playlets find great favor at the Lincoln, but it was the cause of bringing to the Alhambra Theatre other dramatic actors who did a great part in the put-onrage at the latter house.
The great acclaim recorded the Ida Anderson Players also created a great deal of unrest in other theatrical for despite the claims of certain critics that they fully the progress of the shows at the Lincoln, and it is no secret that an attempt was recently made which led the Amsterdam News to believe other剧院 taught Miss Anderson the importance of an play at this time will be a black eye to the better form of entertainment here. Whatever claims will be made in the future, it can at this point do, will not be because they do go, will not be because they have failed to show their appreciation. Anyone doubling this should make the trip to the Lincoln Theatre this week and note the manner in which they are receiving the Anderson Players in "The Love of Su Shong."
In behalf of those people who found so much pleasure in these shows, the Amsterdam News can show you the importance of state of affairs which issues all hands "up in the air" as to just what will be the outcome at the Lincoln Center, to destroy the good people try to do, and Mrs. Downs will do well to work independently of all other who have seen for herself to be a writer, dition to a number of revues so ruften from an entertainment standpoint one wonder how the yokel can show which would BE a MUSICAL MANAGERS IN OUR COMMUNITIES JUST HAD THE NERVE TO GIVE PEOPLE SOME FOR THE MOTION PICTURES, THERE ARE MANY THEATRES THEY WOULD NOT ENTER THEM, THEY WOULD FALL SO SHORT OF WHAT THEY TRY TO MISLEAD THE DUMB NEWSREPRESENT INTO BELIEVING ARE GREAT, AWAKEN AND BETTER THINGS GET A CHANCE IN THE COMMUNITY.

ANOTHER HARPER SHOW AT THE LAFAYETTE Rumor of Sketches Leaving Lincoln Theatre
Calvin Takes Swing at "Keep Shuffin'"
WE have stood alone so long in an independence of thought in recording the doings of the theatre as it concerns our people in sections of the country where we have that curious anomaly known as the "colored theatre," it is really refreshing to see that same independence slowly but surely creeping into the columns of journals heretofore too prone to accept the hash and backwash not only from performers writing their own self-boosts, but those little parasites trying to write for the glory of seeing their names in print.
We note in the columns of the Pittsburgh Courier of very recent date, we note with a feeling of mingled amusement and despair the reaction of Floyd Calvin, "feature writer" of that paper, to the latest offering of Messrs. Miller and Lyles entitled "Keep Shuffin'" at Daly's Theatre. Our amusement comes from the knowledge gained by long experience how Calvin will cease to occupy the pedestal he once adored because of his penchant for "not offending," and our despair because we fear he will run to cover the moment a shaft is hurled his way, because of his independence of thought.
So as not to inject ourselves into the matter, we reproduce for our readers what we have without voicing our opinion, serving whatever comment we have to make for a future day. With a despairation born of his observation and a desire to be truthful, as he sees it, Mr. Calvin hurts the following at readers of his paper:
"For one going from Harlem to see 'Keep Shufflin'" there are no new thrills in Store. While the show is probably the greatest aggregation of colored 'stars' Broadway has ever seen, to the confirmed Harlemite they are simply chorines and leading ladies that have been seen time and again at Connell's Inn, at the Lafayette, at the Lincoln and at the Cotton Club. On the whole I did not enjoy the show nearly so much as I did 'Rang-Tang'. It seems to me the chorus would go over much better if it were composed of new girls, girls who not only have pep and personality, but girls who are fresh for the eye to look upon. There is no thrill in witnessing the same faces many times over. There were only three or four really new girls in the lineup.
"Miller and Lyles are always funny, and it is they who make the show, but even they are not as strong as they were in 'Rang-Tang'. This show seems to have been gotten together in great haste, and to be depending on the names of the 'stars' to make it. Maudie Russell is 'pumped' beautifully, but she has seen her best days at Connell's, and that's that. The same goes for Jean Starr. You can't bring out these chorines and make them act like young fillies. This is hard on the chorines and makes them act, but what Miller and Lyles need is vivacious support by dalyty, 'fresh things'. Publicity is of no avail if you really haven't got the goods."
Mr. Calvin, fortunately belongs to the new school of young Negro recorders of dolls in the amusement world and is paid what is considered a mighty good salary by the Pittsburgh Courier to devote his outtime and attention to writing. Mr. Calvin does not belong to that class of voluntary writers, numbering among them noted actors, who devote more time to penning matter of the theatre than devoting their time to giving Negro audiences a fair break by what they have to do on the stage.
There are no recognized writers on papers in this city who in the or present sold their opinions for a mass of pottage. The producers of filth and those lacking vision, especially the former, in their own defense and with an attempt to bellittle the writers, would, as to be expected, make such a claim. The truth of the matter is that the purveyors of the worst in the theatre have found a condition in Greater New York that is disconcerting, for when they come from the West they expect the same conditions to obtain around here, but to their surprise they find writers doing as well, and better in many instances, as they are despite their varied claims of wealth.
Their monetary contributions to so-called writers in the West, whose opinions were guided by what they obtained, have left these gentlemen believing that all are the same, and to their surprise they find a few not dependent upon the theatre handouts for a livelihood. They, at times, confound with writers with ideals the little hackneyed hash recorders who will rather hang on the outer fringe of journalism than go to work. These latter hash recorders live from hand to mouth and eke out a miserable life, and their names in print and being fooled into believing they make an impression can say they are connected with such and such a paper. But just like they have learned from the West so will they pass from the East, and quicker, because they have no foothold here. The slides had been laid for them twenty years ago when for the first time free thought entered the theatrical columns of Negro newspapers in the East. Where are the Western writers they loved so well? Ask me another. Many performers will tell you that what the Negro writer has to say doesn't count, but, lord, how they rant and rave when these same writers rub 'em the wrong way!

A Zephyric Breeze From The South Sea Islands
"South Sea Love," a spectacular scenic production with its locale a romantic isle in the Pacific, is the novelty for next week at the Alhambra. It means special scenery, costumes and lighting effects, and also the tambra Players. Native music and
NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1928
dances of the South Sea Islands are among the allurements promised.
It is a play with the atmosphere of "Aloma," which created a futur downstream two or three seasons ago, and suggesting somewhat "White Cargo." The music and comedy attraction is *Chinatown Sambo*, which will also feature the matter of costumes and secrecy. Sandy Burns plays the title role.
The photoplay division of the Alhambra's program will have as principal picture "The Apache Raider" with Leo Maloney.
Triple Program Continues to Draw Fine Houses to Popular House
It's not exactly a "crook play" and not exactly a "society play"—and yet it combines the elements of both.
That's about the "Girl Thief," which the Alhambra players are presenting this summer. People think it the best yet given.
Popular Susie Sutton has the title role, which she plays with both spirit and intensity. J. Lawrence will come out to be a desperate character.
Beautiful Famma Lalino is the housewise tortuoso at atake, a jected sutor who returns to favor after the scheming criminal is unmasked.
Alice Corgas, Arthur T. Ray, Grace Wilhiteh and Al F. W. Wood play well their roles and round out an excellent cast. That the audience thought so was evident from the tense intertwined with which the play will not appeal and the singing applause when the curtain falls.
The music and comedy part of the program is "Race Track Revolts"—the writer will not spoil the surprise by telling how it is done.
The contending jockeys are "Ashes," Sandy Burns and "Apus" Girls, and Apus Girls are cute little jockeys, too. Ananda Randolph and Iezda Dennis are owners of thoroughbreds. "Ashes" is "framed" in the most conical manner and the race is a hard one. The pocket edition Ethel Wuters, and Ted Blackburn help in giving class to the proceedings. No Bounding Murrays are included in the already overflowing triple program. They are what is known to vaudeville as trampoline acrobats, and their antics are quite remarkable. This show closes with "It All Comes Out in the Wash," in which Sandy and Apus are rival washers-women. Clara Bow is the photoplay star in "The Bounce." The Wednesday midnight rambles continue to attract the nightwolves.
Dancer's "Africana" Canceled at the Shubert
ST. LOUIS, Mo., (P.N.S.)—The scintillating revue, "Africanana," which was booked for the Shubert-into Theatre here last week and which will be performed Wednesday night when thirteen members of "The Cotton Club Boys" orchestra struck for a week's pay in advance, and night again to allow to show when the show was unable to reach a compromise with the musicians.
The management of the theatre conferred on between Dancer and the musicians of orchestra Thursday, but no agreement could be reached, and at 9 o'clock the 600 people in the audience were not held, not not be held. It was hoped almost to curtain time that an agreement would eventuate.
It is said that on Wednesday the musician that Dancer pay them up to Saturday in advance. This Dancer refused to do, whereupon the musicians off, and it was necessary and off the performance for that night.
In an interview Dancer said the cast had been cut from six mem-
bers of the show, the vaudeville, and the show left Friday
night for Milwaukee, WI. To get the cast back, he pro-
tear this week. He also said that for several weeks efforts have been
made to book the show for vaudeville back to St. Louis in that capacity.

New European Play Said to Be Based On Life of the Late Battling Siki
European Correspondent Points a Moral in Latest Sensational Offering, Which Has Become the Talk of the Parisian Boulevards
SENEGALESE TAKING LEADING PART
J. A. Rogera Again Recounts for Readers of This Paper the Reaction of Europeans to a Public Presentation Which American Producers Are Not Brave Enough to Offer
THE latest play to create a sensation in this city deals with the race question. To be exact, the race question, though brought in indirectly, is none the less effectively dealt with. The moral is: let the Negro be on his guard always for, no matter how sincere he may be, the white man may be using him as a tool.
Gutlibi, the play in question, is said to have been inspired, in much of its detail, by the life of Siki, the conqueror of Georges Carpenter. Like Siki, the principal character of the play, Gutlibi comes from Senegal.
Gutlib, in the prologue, is shown in a village in his native Senegal, working on beautiful trinkets of gold, as his ancestors for many generations have done. He is a master at his art, and singes joyfully as he works. But the war comes, and like others of his tribesmen, he is called to France, where he distinguishes himself on the battlefield. He is possessed of extraordinary strength, is primitive in his ways, and finds the white man's way altogether to his liking.
But the whites find that they can use that strength of his to make money for themselves, particularly as accompanying it is some skill as a boxer. Three Americans finance a boxing deal for him, or rather for themselves, and a shrewd French manager takes him in hand. Gutlib wins match after match, until he has a considerable sum of money at his disposal. But he is far from being content. He finds that he is forever being used as a tool, while he wishes to be accepted for himself, as he would be in his native Senegal.
The white women, for instance, as he complains, seek him out for his primitive vigor and the fact that he can sign a fat check, but they do not love him for himself, as the women of his native land would do. Ill backers, too, are always exploiting him to enrich themselves, imposing many restrictions on him in order that he may be fit.
```markdown
```
The some now is in a hotel in Belgrade, where Gutlibi, elegantly dressed, is awaiting a match that his backers hope will make him world champion. But he is little interested, for now he is really in love with one of the waitresses, a Russian refugee, beautiful and blonde Anna Brassave, who later turns out to be a princess from the court of the dead Czar.
Gutlibi addresses her with passionate words of love, telling her she wishes to be loved for himself, that he is tired of being a tool for others, that during the war he was brought from his native land to kill and kill. "Heaps of slain." But he does not know what the war was all about. He tells her of how and why the other white women have sought him out, and promises to be ever so devoted to her. It is evident that he is on point. He gives her beautiful jewel case made entirely by his own hand, and is happy at list that he has found true love. She becomes his mistress.
But it is common talk at the hotel that Anna has another lover, one Llievitch, who turns out to be an agent of the Soviets. Gutlib, however, is ignorant of this. Anna and Llievitch meet often, and the latter pleads his love passionately.
Anna, as was said, was a princess in the Czar's court. She believes in the man and was very much affected by the Czar and his family. There is on the Czar a hope, however, and that is that the son of the Czar, heir to the throne, is still alive and hidden in a monastery in Siberia. She has long made up her mind to be revenged on the slayers of the Czar, and suspects Llievitch among others.
Then one day the crushing news comes that the son of the Czar perished in the general massacre of the royal family. This decides her, and the transforms her room into an exalteditude of the humble趴ftief home in which the massacre had taken place.
Written on the wall is the date of the massacre with spots of blood around it. Into this chamber Lilvitch is invited and he is so overcome with remorse that he beats his guilt. Anna decides on his death, and her instrument is Gutlib. Gutlib, meanwhile, is so enamored of Anna that he tells her he is willing to do anything, to go with her to Russia if necessary. To get rid of his manager he offers him any amount of money and writes him a check for 200,000 franc. Anna gives very indication of loving him sincerely. She, as was said, had decided on the murder of Lilvitch, and arranged a dinner for three, Gutlib, Lilvitch and herself. Then, after dismissing servants, she arises, gives one arm to Lilvitch, and declares that she is very fortunate because she has two lovers, both of whom are present. A violent quarrel arises between the
bath with Gudlibi strangles his rival. The young princess, hysterical with joy she the corpse, betrays the fact that she planned to use Gudlibi for the purpose. Gudlibi, in killing him, had thought Gudlibi had done so on his own (Gudlibi's account, only to find that once again he has been a tool. There is a rap on his arms to fly but returns to carve Gudlibi, saving that the feels sure he will protect her as he has always done. This is the bald outline of the play, which is filled throughout with intrigue, political passions and redissimms. In only one instance is he caught in thought and that is when Gudlibi, in finding his love, asks her if it is his that makes her hesitate in accepting his love, and pleads that although he is black he is as capable of love as a white man. The princess, how she placing her hand tenderly on his knee, asks the queen, color does not enter into the question, as far as she is concerned.
The part of Guttibl, the star, is played not by a white man posing as a Negro but by a native Senegalese, the noted Hahib Bengila, one of the leading actors on the European stage, and perhaps the greatest living Negro actor, this he it said, not because the American Negro actor is incapable of the same but because he was not too largeness of opportunity in the French Negro. Bengila he played in Faust and other noted plays, resolving warm praise from the public. Guttibl, Bengila is superb about with his almost perfect relation, well-wearing voice, fine rhetoric, physique, and spirit of impulse kibdiness and sympathy.
SENSATIONAL NEW PLAY NOW IN PARIS Browning Tells of Our Entertainers in Europe
The applause he receives is warm, and he bad to respond to several princess was also very well done by Mile. Marguerite Valmond, one of the most accomplished and most beautiful actress on the French stage.
Speaking of the play the New York Herald (Paris edition) said: 'Gutlibi, the Senegalese goldworker who fought for France and later became a serious contender for the world championship is the principal character and now only one who excites the sympathy of the auditors. This part is played in masterful - fashion by Rabb Benglin, the noted actor, who also staged this production. Whether he is a Senegalese Negro, a boxing champion, who exasperates and terrifies his manager, the sincere and respectful lover pleading for the affection of the Russian princess, or an impromptu male who strangles his adversary, Benglin plays his role with honesty. He scores the triumph of the evening.
"As for the plot, it sets out to show that Gulliblot has never been able to assert himself—son mot—but is always the instrument for others, whether as soldier in the trenches, or boxer, or pleading, or heartbroken lover. He thought the Russian princess loved him and all the while she was using him as an instrument to avenge the dead cazevitch. The pathos, the bitterness of all this, is portrayed with dramatic realism by Habib Bengila. "Marguerite Valmond gives a vivid representation of Anna, the Russian soldier who was sworn to bring the assassin of the cazevitch to justice. She shares honors with Bengila."
It might be well to say that Bengila is the only Negro in the cast. The play is written by M. Forzano, who it is said, is Italian.
Bengila, as is said, is a well-known figure on the Parisin stage. In the performance prior to this one he acted in a play at the Varieties on the Grand Boulevard, that if played in America would have had friends and foes of the Negro, allike, buzzing like a nest of angry hornets. It dealt with a domestic drama in which a neglected wife, deciding to get even with her unfaithful husband, calls a more acquaintance to an ening of love with him. But in his stage, another man answers, and enamored with his voice she makes a date with him. The known turns out to be a Negro. Nothing daunted, however, she then takes up with him and in time presents her husband with a mulatto baby.
In 1925 at about the time when the agitation against "All God's Chillun" was at its height, because a Negro and a white woman were to fight at the Fortune Bengla was starring as the Fortune Bengla wore a staircase wore a loin cloth, and the women, all of whom were white, wore still less, and were sitting on his knees or stretching their nude bodies over his in the dance. Bengla also recently starred in a film where she played "Kakumu where he scored a triumph. He and the Japanese, Sessue Hayakawa, are perhaps the only two screen actors possessed of the uncanny power of conveying whole reams of thought by a single look or a single movement the look at Guilbli is being played at the Madeleine, one of the theatres de luxe of this city.

The beautiful Paramount Theatre, the showing "Underworld" or as the French title describes "A Night in Chicago," and the Gaumont Palace has extended the sensational run of "Napoleon." Both of these theatres have a strong symphony orchestra and the shows are similar to the presentations at the Paramount and Roxy theatres in New York. "Ben Hur" has passed the year mark at the Cinema Mandeleine and Chaplin's "The Circus" is still attracting large audiences at the Salle Marlaux.
On Tuesday, June 19, the celebrated duo, Layton and Johnstone, will give a concert at the Grande Skale Pleyel, the largest best beauty concert hall in Vuittons. The theater will have an opportunity to hear these artists whose anilies are reputed to be much larger than the President of the United States.
Vance Lowry has returned from the Riviera where he has been entertaining for the past three months. Lowry, who is a composer, impresario, entertainer and orchestra director, has been working for the same director for several years. He is considered by most of the local musicians as one of the best panclists to be found, anywhere.
The Four Hormany Kings, who recently finished a return engagement at Hamburg, and are playing the month of April at the Scala, Berlin, appeared special invitation before an exclusive congregation at the American Church. They sang a program of Negro spirituals. These well known artists are coming here to the Empire Music Hall after completing their Berlin engagement.
In the Nation Wide Review of April there is a well merited article praising the work of the Martin-Smith Music School of Harlem and a picture of Mira Gertrude H. Martin, wife of the late founder of the institution. This able woman deserves much credit for assisting the talented young director (who is an accomplished cellist), David L. Martin 21, in carrying on an excellent community endeavor. The Nation Wide Review is read by thousands of Americans and Englishmen.
Sunday night work was quite a pictureous sight. Thousands of people crowded around every loud speaker about town eager to get the returns of the election. Yes, Frenchmen vote on Sunday. The final election was Sunday, April 29.
Annual Martin Recital and
Dance This Friday Night
The 21st annual recital and dance of the Martin-Smith Music School, the most distinctive musical event of the season, will occur on Friday evening, May 11, at Manhattan Casino. These recitals have always been a special and educational walk and attend parents with children should attend and carry their little folks to listen to the beautiful message which good music brings. The recital will begin on time, and it is the hope that guests for the recital will be in their seats by 8:30 if possible.
zette" of Vienna, have attracted nearly as many persons to the doors of the Paulanus Church as the early Baker in the Johann Strauss Theatre next door.
All Vienna, however, is definitely "Baker-crazy." Many stalls at the Vienna Spring fair now in progress use their wares to adorn models of Josephine far more lavishly than she adorns herself on the stage. All the Vienna shops display her photograph and toy-shops, china-shops and street hawkers sell "little Josephines" like the proverbial hot cakes.
"The only place," remarked a cynical Viennaist to me last week, "to get away from the eternal Baker is in the Baker revue. The managers at the Baker's appearances that one can be sure at least of spending a couple of hours there without needing Baker, a thing of which one can be certain nowhere else in the city."

READ a splendid article in The Amsterdam News while in Hamburg, before coming to Berlin, about J. Francis Mores, the well known American singer, actor and gentleman, and on arriving I was delighted to see the popular Herr Mores, who is enjoying fine health and having great success under the direction of Herr J. Barkon, the big German concert manager. Herr Mores is indeed very popular on the continent, and is appearing regularly in the different countries in concert. I have spent several afternoons with Herr Mores and we have had nice chats, talking over old times in America, and I am sure his many friends will be delighted to know of his continued success abroad. He has just left Berlin on another concert tour and the next fortnight he appears in Poland and Russia, after that he will go to Italy to study with one of the Italian masters. J. Francis Mores is still a great credit to the artistic world and especially to the Negro race. Mr. Mores has given me some formal training in American dance, he has been for years of years, Miss Coretta Hardy and Mr. Henry Jackson Norris. Miss Hardy at one time sang in St. Mark's choir, 53rd street, and Mr. Norris, whose home is in Brooklyn, at one time song in St. Philip's choir. It was, indeed interesting to know of these two American Negroes, who, after many years abroad, are still having fine success in every way. Miss Hardy is now Mrs. Tetz of Moscow, and Mr. Norris, even though he has been in Sweden for twenty years, has never married and is teaching music in the Swedish capital.
CORETTA HARDY In New York was identified with Prof. Joseph Bates, choir director of St. Mark's, 63rd street, and produced "Trial by Jury," in which J. Francis Mores appeared as Judge, in June, 1903. Miss Hardy came to Europe with a dancing-singing organization and subsequently married to the Russian nobility (a Russian duke), who was lost to her during the late World War, and is now the wife of Prof. Teitz of Moscow, where she makes her home and appears in recitals in the great cities of Russia during the concert season.
ENRY JACKSON NORRIS, now of Stockholm, and formally of Brooklyn, New York, now resides in the capital of Sweden, where he is engaged throughout the season in teaching music in his well-appointed studios adjoining his residence. Mr. Norris, who sang in St. Philips' choir when it was in 25th street, is the proud possessor of a fine baritone voice in the concert hall called "Saint of Command" appearance in concert to the King of Sweden and others of the nobility. He sings in French, German and Swedish, and always includes Negro spirituals on his programs.
BILLY COLLINS, the dapper little Harlem dancer, closes next week with the Madam Pompadour Operaetta and will open in Holland for six weeks before going to London. Collins will appear in a new Cochran Revue in London this winter. He and the clever little "Snow Ball" have done wonderfully well since arriving over her last summer. "Snow Ball" is a big hit in Cochran's now revue now at the London Pavilion.
THINK It is a very fine idea that so many Negro artists are beginning to take the chance and try other countries for their work, and it is a fact that their work is appreciated much more by the public in general than any other race, and while there have been numbers of Negro artists in England, France and Germany in recent years, this is perhaps the first time so very many have been on this side at one time. They will find a great field over here and will do wonderfully well, especially if they will just conduct themselves as they should in the different countries. Of course, there is a lot of propaganda against Negroes almost in any country, but the Negro artists can do much in tearing down a whole lot of the wrong kind of propaganda, and if our people will act right and put forth a special effort in trying to uplift the race it will certainly have its effect over here.
THE Four Harmony Kings will close at the Scala next week and will open at the Empire Musla Mall in Paris May 4. The quartet is booked for the Scala again next year, and will also give a concert at the American Church on their return.

THE big American Church is quite popular here and even the rank Southerners who heard us Sunday just simply forgot themselves and woe extremely nice to us. We will not be able to appear, as requested, but will do so next year. Our singing at this church was a triumph; the breaking down of any barrier that might have existed mentally. Music certainly has no nationality.
SIR ALFRED BUTT, the great London producer, is presenting "Show Boat," the much talked about American show. It will open in England May 3. Rehearsals have been in progress and a number of Negro artists from America will have prominent parts. Among them will be Paul Robeson, the popular actor, gentleman and singer. In all likelihood Robeson will be well advertised in the cast as a principal in the papers in England and he certainly deserves it; so does Mr. Bledsoe in New York. Miss Alberta Hunter will play an important part in the show. At first they tried to put it on with a lot of cheap talent, but now a sudden change has been made and it looks like it is going to be a real production.
MADAM JOSEPHINE BAKER opened very successfully in Prague and received wonderful notices from the papers and now she is in Budapest turning them away nightly. There is hardly anything to the rumor about her going to America to join Leslie's Revue: besides, I dare not print what the popular Miss Baker thinks of Low Leslie. Miss Baker will be very busy on this side for quite some time yet.
JIMMIE SMITH of Los Angeles, Calif., recently visited Berlin and had a most enjoyable time. He left a short time ago to spend Easter in Paris, and after a brief stay in London he is now on route to New York and California. Mr. Smith is the personal manager of James B. Lowe, the noted cinema star.
THE popular team of Miss Freddie Washington and Al Moore closed here last month and are appearing this month in Hamburg at the famous Alaskan Cabaret. This well known team has more than made good since driving on this slide and have kept very busy in France, England and coming over here, and, believe me, they have really arrived and are a great dancing team.
MIKE RILEY and Al Wilkins, two young American dancers, are appearing most successfully in Berlin at the beautiful "Casanovo International" this month. The Casanovo is in a very smart cabaret in the Scalne Theatre Building. These two ladies were in "Africana" at Dalys. 63d street, last winter. They are making a tour of the continent, and will go from here to Hamburg for May and Prague in June, and will play Paris and London before returning to the States.
I HAVE just had a nice letter from Miss Ruth Walker, the well known New York dancer, who is now in Switzerland, taking a much needed rest. She has been appearing in the "Midland Pompourour" in Berlin but had to leave the operetta account of illness. Miss Walker is, however, doing fine now and will return to the stage in early fall. Mall will reach her at Sanatorium Guardoval, Duvno Dorf, Switzerland.
THERE are two American Negro orchestra in Berlin now. Leon Abbey and his band are playing the his Hof Palace Cinema house in the west end and the band is a tremendous success. They open next month at the popular Luna Park Palais de Dance for the summer, and will continue in the cinema house as well. A hot combination indeed. Finn & Levy Wines' Orchestra of elephants at the cinema house at the west end. B. A. Snailding, who used to play piano with Wicklefe's Chicago Orchestra, is with Wines' combination.

The entire film industry has awaited with absorbing interest the result of the first directorial effort of the German genius, E. A. Dupon who brings to the screen a new artistry, a unique method of filming entirely different from the formula like methods generally in vogue.
No expense was spared in giving Dupont the host of the "breaks" for "Love Me and the World is Mine, the greatest gift of the world," which will be the featured attraction at the Douglas Theatre Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

cago. Like all good church mem-
bers, they have already learned

now Chicago citizens will prob-
ably teach them to hold them up.
Hits Own Puzzle. Too
A CORRESPONDENT for the Chicago Defender recently met a man in Hartzburg, Ky., who claims to be his own grandfather. The man's own version of his unique case is as follows:
"I married a widow with a grown-up daughter. My father, a widower, married my stepdaughter, thus becoming my son-in-law, and his wife, formerly by stepdaughter, became my stepmother also.
"My wife had a son who was my father's brother-in-law, my stepdaughter's brother. Then my father's wife had a son, who was my brother and also my step-grandchild, because he was the son of my stepdaughter.
"My wife also became my grandmother because she was the mother of my stepmother, and as the husband of anyone's grandmother is called grandmother," I said. "Yes, indeed, provided the hasn't gone crazy figuring out the whole problem.
Good at Heart
THE National Negro Insurance Association closed its annual session at Columbus, Ohio, last week. They certainly represent a concrete example of the old adage, "You do not mean what you say." They will tell you to your face that you are liable to die any day, but deep down in their hearts they are wishing you a life of long duration and unusually good health.
To Speak at Electric Show
The talk this afternoon at the Electric Refrigerator Show, being held at the Wanamaker store, on the seventh gallery of the new buildings, at 2:30, will be by Lettle Gay, director of the New York Herald Tribune Institute. Her subject will be "The Baby's Place in the Electric Refrigerator."

Howard Glee
Club Recital
The Lampton Institute singers retained a pinch of pinnacle of perfection in their interpretation of Negro spirituals and Russian anthems and the Lincoln University Glee Club received unanimous praise for its lovely conception of recitative folk songs; but it was necessary for the Howard University Glee Club to introduce to a New York audience a combination of the classic ballad suffused with "Tiberian" technique and color and delivered in a correct version of the Mozart style of attack.
The concert was given at Renaissance Casino on Monday evening, and was offered by twenty-four voices under the direction of Prof. Roy W. Tibbs. An audience of approximately 300 persons listened to the recital and by its thunderous applause strengthened the popular impression that the present edition of the Howard Glee Club is undoubtedly Mr. Tibbs' greatest production since he took charge of the Howard Conservatory of Music some years ago.
Few indeed are the collegiate solistis who are capable enough or willing enough to sing with the animation typical of succeeds artistic endeavor as did John Macklin, tonor, and Barrington Guy and Lester Dorsey, baritones.
Incidentally it was our first opportunity to hear the son of the famous Nathalian Guy, a baritone himself, dispense his talent to the public. He shines like his father in deep rich tones, but shows a tendency to strain them too much in an effort to satisfy the vultur demand for loudness. Doth Dorsey and Macklin are also good solistis. They exhibited a high regard for an intelligent and detailed attack.
Schubert, Handel, Praetorius, Dems-Taylor, Burleigh, Franz, Logan and Whitney Coombs were among the composers whose works were offered. Besides the solistis, the other members of the club are: Eugene G. Weathers, Charles H. Freeman, Ralph H. Jones and Kenneth J. Clark.
Also Harold Culmer, Robert Syphax, Jess Hunten, J. P. Bond Jr., Jillus C. Randolph, Scott Mayo and Levington Smith.
Also James G. Tyson, William Sales, James P. Scott, Alvin Mayo, Hairy T. Webb, James Parker, L. A. H. Jackson, Theodore Flemming, Joseph Ridouto and William Smith, Harry Gill Smith was at the piano.
Mme. Anita Patti Brown, soprano of Chicago, will give a song recital at St. Mark's M. E. Church on Monday evening, May 14.
Her program will consist of compositions from Handel, Schubert, Dell Acqua, Santoliquido, Rogers, Verdl, Denza, Schaman, Rogers, Brahm, Lehmann, and a group of Nogro spirituals.
Vesper Quartette Of Boston
Purity of voice, and equality of tone, well regulated breath power, smooth and beautiful execution of runs, thrills and other florid passages, pathos of tone and a foundation of Italian skill in textual interpretation, featured the singing of the Vesper Quartette of Boston in its recital at St. James Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening.
The soprano, Ethel Smith, is to be particularly praised. She exhibited a voice of convincing versatility, effortless vivacity, and her enunciation was clear, neat and exact. Dorothy Richardson, soprano, was also remarkable in her musical attunements. She is capable of a delivery filled with beautiful vocal color.
Both the tenor and baritone, Charles Henry and Edward Carter respectively, proved themselves to be above the average, but they are headcapped by low tonal power, and leave much to be desired in clarity of enunciation and animated delivery.
Among the best scores randered was an arrangement by J. R. Johnson, "Preaching the Word," the was offered by the quartette; Bohm's "Still Wie Die Nacht," by Mr Carter; also "Fu La Sorte Dell Armi," and an arda from Verdi's "Alda," which was given by the two female voices. The tenor sang best in his interpretation of Ernesto DeCurtis' "Canta De Me."
The attraction was sponsored by the Young Men's Allegiance Club of the church, which also announced

Prampin Recital
The ninth annual concert of the Pramphil School of Music was rendered before a large audience Thursday evening at imperial Auditorium, 160 West 192nd street. The pupils acquitted themselves creditably. Little Dorothy Hadley gave a very clever exhibition of her ability as a pianist. The saxophone goers rendered by Anthony Fuglifl were warmly received. James Allan and Edward Horvath, advanced violin pupils, rendered numbers that were exceptionally good.
Leroy Jones rendered a processional solo arrangement from "Deep River" on his tenor banjo which drew much applause. The banjo band, composed of Leroy Jones, Lincoln Spears, Llainwood T. T. Dowden, Margaret Evans, Edward Dallastco and John Minns, then offered a numbo, of sketches tinged with much melody. The brass band later scored successfully with a number of ripping marches. As a finale, Louis Bronsett, aspiring instrumentalist, gave a solo-on his cornet. After the program, the "U Toll Em" dance orchestra, composed of pupils of the school, rendered a number of the latest dance pieces.
Jackson's Pupils Give Recital
An exceptionally good recital was given Sunday afternoon at Grace Church Auditorium by the vocal and piano pupil of E. Aldama Jackson. A capacity audience was given another opportunity to hear Ruby Mue Green, contralto, as she rendered Sechi's revised edition of "Lungi del Caro Beene."

What to Do With Delinquent Girls Discussed at Federation Meeting
Audience Assembled at Abyssinian Baptist Church for Spicy Debate on "Companionate Marriage" Hears Mrs. Alice Dunbar-Nelson of Wilmington.
Prevent a girl from going further into degradation rather than punish her, is what Mrs. Alice Dunbar-Nelson, teacher, author and social worker of Wilmington, Del., advised her Thursday night audience to do. The occasion was the first public meeting of the New York City Federation of Women's Clubs, of which Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman is president, at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in West 138th street.
Although the mixed audience of about 300 people went to the church to hear a heated debate on "Comprehensive Mapping of the English Baby in the Life of the Negro" it was content with a major address by Mrs. Nelson on delinquent Negro girls, and what to do to help them, and several minor talks on "Companionate Marriage."
Dr. Coleman and the Rev. J. W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, called the audience's attention to the existing need here for
MME. ANITA PATTI BROWN IN GRAND RECITAL

a home for Negro girls. Dr. Robinson's solicitation for funds for a home to which girls may be sent by the courts, rather than be sent to Welfare Island and be branded as criminals, resulted in $610 in pledges.
William H. Ferris, author, was called at 10:30 p. m. to speak on "Companionate Marriage." He believes that delinquent children are the fruits of "trial marriage" and "free love." Registering his disapproval of companionate marriage, he concluded by saying that "safeguarding our children is the law of the real marriage."
James Esqort Allen, a teacher in one of the junior high schools, attempted to show that the subject of "Companionte Marriage" had in the previous talk been treated from a biased point of view.
The Rev. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of A. Church, which the meeting was held, hurled his remarks at the men of the community, saying that they are as much "fallen" as the "fallen girls" of which society speaks.
Mrs. Ester Hayes was in charge of the evening's musical and literary program. Those who appeared were: the Watkins' Studio Trio; Edward Errington Steele, blind pianist; Miss Bertha Fitchugh Baker, soprano, accompanied by Miss Dorothy Teesdale; Francis Kairson, baritone, accompanied by Mr. Steele; Mrs. Olivia Wanamaker, who gave a dramatic portrayal of "Hagar."
"I'm a New Negro With New Ideas," Speaker Says
"I am a new Negro with new ideas," declared George Abbott, organizer of the National Negro Non-Aristian League, as he began his address to an audience of approximately 300 at Mother Zion Community House, 186th street, near Seventh avenue, on Sunday afternoon.
The meeting was held for the purpose of protesting against the segregation of Negro policemen during the parade for the Bremen transatlantic filers, and also to demand elective representation in Congress and on the bench.
Consedee B. Jenkins declared that Harlem was lacking in proper leadership, and that the Negroes here were interested only in cabarets, glumis and the theaters, and that in view of such he did not blame the Harlem Negro for not voting.
Other speakers were: G. Victor Cools, national chairman of the league; Madeline R. Johnson, secretary; Ella Baker, U. S. Poston and the Rev. D. C. Alleny.
Ex-Mayor John F. Hylan, the
selected principal speaker, did not
attend.

lyzed his need and suggested that he guarantee the realization of his dream through a Victory Life Perfect Protection Policy, but Buckner was a man of vision—a practical business man—who realized that Life Insurance was not simply a burial fund but a living, active force in the life of every individual. During this period of his life he was concentrating every nerve and sinew on his effort to build a competency for the anticipated years ahead, he was investing heavily, he was certain that IF he lived and enjoyed good health, success would attend his efforts, but there loomed up before him the inevitable IF.

Jealousy Makes You Ugly
Jealousy Makes You Ugly
Jealousy makes you think all sorts of horrible and foolish things you torment yourself unnecessarily. You make yourself appear a very foolish person.
If the one you love smiles at another, you don't have to take it for granted that he or she is falling in love.
Don't you yourself joke and flirt a bit with the opposite sex?
A certain amount of jealousy is more or less natural. It's up to you to conceal it, unless you want to make yourself the butt of further tormenting.
Jealousy is one of the most miserable of feelings. It upsets one all over. It's responsible for a large number of suicides and murders, and even if it doesn't actually cause a person's death, it kills his finer feelings, kills his faith in mankind, kills his chances of happiness. It blinds him so that when Truth herself stands before him he is suspicious and doubting.

Choral Numbers by the
Masters Ably Rendered
Thursday Night
By WALTER R. LOFTON.
The remarkable Concord Baptist College choir performed at Hoffman Goldwell, M. B., gave an impressive performance when they appeared at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where the attendance was good, it should have been larger for a program of this caliber. The program was devoted chiefly to choruses. While the concert immediately after the curtain was raised, the choir was composed of sixty voices. The choral technique was excellent, there was a solute precision of there. There was a notable unity in spirit and execution, and the tonal qualities were marked by strength, smoothness, and grace. The choirs showed the results of the admirable training of Prof. Caldwell, who conducted the concert with dignity, authority, but without any impressions.
Perhaps the most striking numbers on the evening were "Great Chorus," "Nighttime, Sing," or "Halifan Kjerulf, with Rosa Parris singing the obligato: "Heevn, Heevn, by Burleigh, and Music in the Execution," and the executed these in a splendid manner. They were graded in tonal color from loud to soft and back again, with legato, style and rolling.
Numbers by Burleigh.
The opening numbers were three spirituals by Burleigh. They were "I Am Roiling, 'Heav'n, Heav'n, Heav'n," House of the Devil, "House of the Devil," and the number were followed by a tenor song by Benjamin Dean. It was "Sanctus," by Gounod. He sang it with an exelcellent quality of lyric, "Great and Marvelous," by Gaul, and Mary E. Smith, contralto, sang two numbers. The first was Martin's "Passer Damor" and Saint-Saena's "Saint-Saena." He sang the Haldan Kjerrulf's song, "Nightingale, Sing," male number with obligato, was the next number. Rosa Parris sang the obligato. Burleigh's next number rundered. Johann Struas' "Greeting to Spring" was the next number. Two women's choruses were next to Burleigh's "Just You" and second Wagner's "Splining Chorus." Lacey Gayne Laurels. J. Milton Lacey, the baritone, sang three voices and captivated the audience with his singing. The first selection was Bohn's "Calm as the Night." The next number was F. Schirai's "Invitade," last number was Hobbs's "Invitade."
Two spirituals by Dr. Nathaniel Dewt were the next features. "I'll Dewt move the more and more and 'Music in the Mind' more and more."bers. Benjamin Dean sang the ol' libations. Elizabeth Perry sang the 'St. Saran Rose', ("Love in Springtime"). She did so well that he responded to several encores.
Dr. Adams Speaks.
At this Juncture the Rev. James B. Adams, pastor of Concord Baptist Church, delivered a short talk. Dr. Adams, who is a trustee of Moore's University, gave a visit in order to be at the concert. He left Sunday night. En route he stopped at Raleigh, N. C., where he was the guest of Prof. Benjamin G. Brawley of Shaw University. May 2 attended the board meeting and left the same day, arriving in Brooklyn in time for the concert.
In his talk Dr. Adams told of the purpose of the concert, which was to take place in the munceous house of Concord in order that a greater service may be rendered to the community and the city he also praised Prof. Calwell, who is developing of the choir, which was made up of all volunteer singers.
The concert was brought to a close by the singing of Coleridge's Viking Song. A large number of white friends of the choir were seen in the audience. Among them were Municipal Court Justice and Mrs. Lawrence J. Fish, who brought a large delegation of Baptists with them.

Sunday

two victories over the Hilldale team
of Darby, Pa., at Erasmus Field on

in the opener and hammering
out a 14 to 1 win in the nightcap.

brilliant, good, fair and mediocre,
with the Parkways triumphing
twice by playing the brilliant
brand.
Ed Barless, a tall, lean right-hander, held the Hildale aggregation scoreless for eight innings in the first game, but weakened under pressure in the ninth and Herb Steen, southpaw of Naughty Harbert fame with the Bushwicks, came to the rescue. Bill Cunningham, like Steen, a former Detroit Tiger burden, breezed through the second game.
Red Fogarty, the Parkways' left fielder, slammed a home run in each contest and a triple in the nightcap. Lou Ferris, Eddie Green, Hugh Gold, Red Jurges, Kay Garrard and into Scheck also came in for the third. Parkway outfield of Fogarty, Ferris and Carroll sparkled, while Jurges and Green shone in the infield.
Fogarty lifted the ball over the right field fence to break the scoring in the fourth inning of the sacrifice and Ferris' one-timer gave the Parkways another run in the fifth frame.
Singles by Carroll and Ferris and Garrard both copied the wreck, wave third in the seventh frame.

Islanders Outplay and Outhit Local Team in Both Games Sunday
What looks to be the best team of Cuban Stars that Alexander Pompes has brought to these shores in many years made their first New York appearance at the Catholic Protection Oval Sunday, May 6, and defeated a strong Lincoln Giant team in a double header. The largest crowd of the season was on hand to welcome the Cubans and their spectations of the fans. They won the first game by a score of 13-8 and the other contest 9-4.
Alphonso, the diminutive shortstop, was the star of both games. In the first he made four hits and four runs in four times at bat and this included a home run and a three-run other outing. He saved the game for his team when he made a bare-handed stop of Scales' liner during the eighth inning. Sans shared honors with Alphonso in this game by holding the Lincoln Giants to six scattered hits, and he also scored in posing pitchers in the opening game. The big Philadelphia southpaw was a bit off form and was hit hard by the visitors. However, he tried to make up with the willow what his good pitching arm lacked, as he had three times at bat. Other home runs were made by Perez, Alphonso, Carr and Riggins.
The attraction for Sunday, May 13, at Protectory Oval will be the Hildale Club, which now has Owen Charles of Carny and several former stars from the Long Island Giants in the line-up, along with the old favorites.

AFTER four years of hard battling in the professional ring, which was preceded by three years in the anateur division, Bruce Flowers, Negro lightweight of New Rochelle, is nearing his flatic goal—a chance for the world's championship. Flowers is extremely modest when it comes to talking of his ring deeds and ambitions and even goes so far as to softpel any talk of being a second Joe Gans, as pointed out by his admirers, who believe Flowers will better the ring record of that one-time great champion.
The lives of Flowers and Gans are almost parallel in so far as their struggle to the top is concerned. Gans broke into the boxing game by shipping shoes near a fight club in Baltimore. Flowers sold newspapers and got his ring start in the anateurs, selling the medals and watches as fast as he won them.
He is comfortably fixed as far as finances go right now, but regrets he hasn't a single medal or watch to hand down to his two sons as moments of more than 200 fights which he claims were harder than the fifty-odd battles he has had since he deserted the simon pures for the money division three years ago.
Fought Paul Berlenbach.
To prove that the amateur days of the New Rochelle Negro were tough ones it is only necessary to point to his battle with Paul Berlenbach at the New York Athletic Club, just before the Astoria Assassin turned pro in 1923. An extra round was ordered, so close were the last three rounds. The weights didn't matter as far as Flowers was concerned, for he fought four or five times a night and glad of the opportunity to win a medal or watch, which he had little trouble turning into cash.

This monetary reward, however, was nothing as compared to the glowing pictures Harry Garsh, his manager, painted for him in words. Garsh was breaking in as a manager at the time and the two are just beginning to make dream words come true.
The boxer has a home in New Rochelle which in appointment is in accord with his modest manner. It is situated on a plot of ground 100 feet square, with a play pen in the rear for his infant son and Bruce Jr., three years old. Also living with and supported by Flowers are his mother and two sisters.
Like the late "Tiger" Flowers, not a relative, Bruce is a street churchgoer and the idol of J. B. Bondy, pastor of the Baptist Church in New Rochelle, which the lightweight attends. Bruce's mother is very religious. It is only of late that the Negro has come to the fore in the lightweight division. This is due partly to the fact that he has become a socker and a knockerout. He is coupling science with a wallop and has demonstrated this in his last six bouts.
Kayos Nat Kawler.
Only a week ago he scored a technical knockout over Stanistlaus Loayne, Chillan lightweight, in two rounds. Prior to that bout he knocked out Nat Kawler in five rounds. This was the first time Kawler was ever K.Od.
In three previous contests he defeated Billy Petrolle, the Fargo Express; Spug Myers of Chicago, and Honeyboy Finnigan in Boston. It was Finnegan's first defeat in his home town in four years. In addition he fought a stubborn ten-round draw with Lone Tenorie in the Garden.
In each of these bouts Flowers staggered his opponents, and in the battle with Tenorio came off the floor in the first round to drop the Filipino in the third for a count of nine. He knocked Loayza right out of his bolt with Tenorio in the Garden last Friday night, and when Jess McMahon tried to get Flowers to substitute for the Chillian, Flowers refused the match because he had previously given his word to Eddie McMahon, matchmaker of the St. Nicholas Arena, to fight Sid Barbarian, Detroit southpaw, tomorrow night.
It was a poor financial bargain that Flowers made, and although no contracts were signed he would not sidetrack a small club matchmaker for any contest, save perhaps a chance at the title-holder.
If he continues his winning streak by defeating Barbarian tomorrow and Sid Terris at Ebbsfelt Field, June 6, he will rest up for a chance with the winner of the Sammy Maundell-Jimmy McLarnin, who meet for the world's title at the Polo Grounds, May 17.

The St. Nicholas Tennis Club, the newest tennis organization in the New York tennis fraternity, made its bow to the public on Saturday afternoon last, when they opened their new grounds on St. Nicholas avenue near 141st street. The new court is situated on St. Nicholas avenue, next to the St. James Presbyterian Church. After approval, opening ceremonies a trio of exhibition tennis were played, two singles between Edgar Gomes and Eyro Salm, former national champion, and Mrs. Emma Leonard and Mrs. Frances Gittens. These were won by Gomes and Mrs. Gittens. A mixed doubles match between Salm and these Conick and Fred Johnson and Mrs. E Leonard was won by the former pair. Refreshments were served by a committee of ladies of the club.
At a meeting of the Joint Cochkurn Trophy Committee, held recently in New York City, plans were made to magnificent trophy in the City of Philadelphia, at Fairmont Park, on Saturday and Sunday, June 16 and 17.
The Cochurnk Trophy was presented to the New York Tennis Association by Captain Joshua Cochurnk for contests between teams representing the mannequins of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The first year only New York and New Jersey played, as there was no Pennsylvania association, and New York won. Last year the Pennsylvania Association was formed and contested with New Jersey for the right to challenge New York. New Jersey won and subsequently defended by New York. This year both associations claim the trophy will be taken away from New York. The matches alternate each year between the three states, and much interest is manifested in the games, which are keenly contested.
We have been informed that another tennis court will be opened to the public next Sunday, in West 138th street, adjoinng St. Mark's Catholic Church.

West Side Park in Jersey City to Be Their Headquarters
The Havana Cuban Red Sox, direct from a tour of the N. Y.-P. A. League circuit, will come to West Side Avenue Park, Jersey City, this Thursday. Friay, June 13, 3:30 p.m. against the Peliham, N. Y. Fremont Baseball Club, and on Saturday will meet Bob Turner’s All-Stars in a double-header, commencing at 2 p.m.
This announcement is something of a surprise to local fans and should provide some spectacular baseball playing in absence of the international Leaguers, who do not reside in Havana. The Havana Cubana are as strong if not stronger than the team which defeated Jack Bentley and his Newark club last fall, and in meeting the Pelham, N. Y., firemen here on Thursday and Friday have a powerful combine to face. The firemen are new to Jersey fans, but have been to the Cuban clubs, King Colonials, Boughkeepsie, Huffman and Norfolk Bacharachs and are capable of giving the Cubans a fight every inch of the way.
Bornie Brooks, former Hagerstown Blue Ridge League hurler, will be in charge of the Pelham smoke eaters, with Dick Brodbeck of the Farmers and College Point fame as captain.
Saturday Bob Tecarr's All-Stars come in for a twin hill against the Cubans. Bob Tecarr is well known in Jersey City, having pitched for the International League team for a number of seasons, and his slow ball was one of the talks of the circuit. Bob has a wonderful club of minor league and college ball players, including George Sackett of N. Y. U., Jake Druckenon of the Blue Ridge League, Dick Graveson, former Jersey City star, and one of the Havana Cubans' line-up will include such Cuban Winter League stars as Lauzan, Teran-Hauza, Ferner, Calderon, Tian, Moreras, Funes, Ramirez, Caldoso, Williams and Gonzales.

May 5. The seventh annual Intercollegiate Track and Field Meet sanctioned by the Colorado Intercollegiate Athletic Association, who are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, will tip off at 12:30 o'clock, Saturn 12, on Armstrong Field. There is little doubt that the meet will far surpass those of previous years. More athletes are expected to be present, more trophies are being offered, and more events have been scheduled, the afternoon will more likely the relays. Lincoln, and Union are sending fast relay teams to offer competition to the foursourse representing Hampton. Mr. C. H. Williams has intimated that Howard P. one of the joint holders of the world's 100-yard dash, will probably be the starter for the day.
Lincoln's entries arrived early in the week. The list is long. Lincoln is going to try hard to win the game, in the winning she realizes that Hampton's team of 60 men who are now at Tuskegee, will have to be contended with. The meet promises to bring many new contestants into action. Cheney institute of Pennsylvania, Army Institute of Richmond, and the Middlesex County Trailing School are among newcomers in the scholastic division.

Champion Japanese Team To Play at Hilldale Park
On Saturday, May 12, the Koelo University of Japan baseball team will cross bats with Hildale at Philadelphia. Baseball has been in vogue in Japan for the past seven years. This will be the biggest attraction since the House of David team toured the East. The brown men from the University of Japan are champions of the Orient and have played a high calibre of ball against the New York Giants and the New York Mets for Philadelphia fans to see if Ed Bolden's Hildale outfit can successfully stop this team. This is said to be the only game the visiting team will play in Pennsylvania while making the tour. On Thursday, May 24, and Saturday, May 26, the Lincoln Giants, with "Nip" Winters pitching and George Carr playing at first base, will be the attraction at Hildale Park. At this writing the Darby Dalesle have not lost a game, having chalked up sixteen wing.

Bracken Customers To Share in Profits
Holders of Stock Also May Buy at Discount of 10 Per Cent
Holders of Stock Also May Buy at Discount of 10 Per Cent
The plan to allow their customers, three-fourths of whom are Negroes, to participate in their earnings and savings by the Bracken Furniture Company, Inc., 45-47 West 135th street, is meeting with success. it is announced. The company recently launched a stock issue to provide additional working capital for further expansion and to greatly increase their sales. "The increase in stock shall have the right, on all goods purchased by himself or through his agency, to receive credit on merchandise of 10 per cent, and his right shall continue until such credited total amount of money paid by the company for stock," the company declares.
A considerable block of this new issue of capital stock has been allotted to Harlem, and its distribution among Negro investors is being handled by the investment firm of Rudolph Smith and Lester Taylor, 2228 Seventh avenue. Before coming into contact with Smith, he well known as a future and publicist. C. D. Coker & Company, Inc., white, 15 William street, a reputable Wall Street firm, are the chief investment brokers for the Bracken Furniture Company, Inc. Gordon R. Bracken will continue to represent the interests of the Bracken-family in the capacity of president and treasurer. "The prosperity of our business has been built up by our support of our colored customers" he said in a recent interview.
"I firmly believe in the future of the Negro race. During my fifteen years of association with them I have always found them progressive, industrious, f.l.i.dely and willing to meet their obligations. Dishonesty is a thing I have rarely met with in the past. I have never found that, almost without exception, those who were unable to meet their obligations on time were duanually unable to do so, and did not purposefully default; and I have had little cause to regret any lenency I have shown.
"The Negro employee should never be relegated to serve in mere mental capacities because of his race alone, but should be allowed to occupy the office. I have confidence and culture entitle him. Nor should be paid a lower wage for his services than is paid the white employee."
Y.W.C.A. Notes

Who just one year ago this May
On the fourteenth day
He went away, from earth to stay
Where they say everything is better
Oh! I miss him for his loving kindness and his gentle way.
I can never forget him; no never can.
I will say he is not gone but still is here.
Oh! I can see his smiling face
That cheered me on my way;
I hope to see him some bright day
Where we shall meet to stay.

How shocking the news, indeed,
We wondered how it could be
The dear friend and kind away
Our dear sister, Louise Lea.
She was born in Price Edwards
Village, Vn.
In Eighteen-thirty-three;
And in Eighteen-ninety-sight
Became the wife of Dr. P. H. Lea.
To know her was to love her.
She was always kind and true;
She would make it pleasant for
At well as those she knew.
She joined the Church when quite a
child.
She was President of the Home Mission,
A mission one indeed!
While teaching others what to do,
She would always take the lead.
But now her work is finished,
Now to tommy.
For on the Twenty-fifth of April,
The Father called her home.
No matter what may be the ties
That bind us here below.
When the Master calls us from above
We must all leave and go.
So we do not say to you farewell,
We only say goodbye.
Hoping to meet with you again—
At home beyond the sky.
By the Rev. J. W. Washington.
The Reverend Leen wished to thank
his many friends for their expressions
of care during his present be-

If you have knew the changes that

IF THE SHOE FITS
PRIL 11 THE AMSTERDAM NEWS PRESS is the ambulance chasing inquiry conductor Kresel before Justice Wasservogel art. The story dwelt upon the operation Graham Oberstein, who was arrested after being accused of settling accident companies and fraudulently pocketing money have gone to his clients. In the case Samuel R. Robinson, white, was allegedly received more business from Oberstein. It was reported also the sent Negro physicians of Harlem were being.
THE PHYSICIANS and Attorney R. Oberstein have taken offense at the story. Their prestige was hurt by the report their accident cases to white lawyers, lawyers, and Attorney Robinson apportionment of his name was calculated to impain. In neither case, however, has the denied. This paper merely states them, with no intention of mischief to say that Attorney Robinson does a mass" among Harlem Negroes is not to nearest with them.
AN IT BE SAID that the story did not Negro physicians. The record sheet of counsel of the inquiry, shows that on physicians who sent Robinson businessNegroes, and that the number of cases go one in the past three years ranges for natural to raise the question why the men to Negro lawyers, and The Amsterdah raise it. If Negro physicians them less to white lawyers instead of Negro just complain of the large number to seek white physicians instead of Negro.
INTED --- A JAZZ RELIGION
CHRISTIAN RELIGION — Is it a fear Living in the Modern Day?" This is partly at a conference on religion held by fellowship of St. Philip's Church, brooms, some for and some against religion when analyzed, were found to deal rather than with religion itself. That is possible is something for the churches to about.
CHRISTIAN RELIGION is sufficient for our day, if it is lived up to. To but live and in this age people wish to get every of religion, education, and every hum. The real reason why students want out of the schools was not that the studies, but that they were difficult. The are living, high thinking, faithful woe does not square with today's ideal of slow thinking, slipshod work and the JAZZ AGE wants a jazz religion. For Christian standard, the people blame themselves. They are like a man who pour late and blames the cook because
ON APRIL 11 THE AMSTERDAM NEWS published an account of the ambulance chasing inquiry conducted by Attorney Isidor Kresel before Justice Wasservogel in the Supreme Court. The story dwelt upon the operations of Attorney Abraham Oberstein, who was arrested on a bench warrant, after being accused of settling accident claims with insurance companies and fraudulently pocketing the money which should have gone to his clients. In the course of the story Attorney Samuel R. Robinson, white, was mentioned as having allegedly received more business from Harlem Negroes than Oberstein. It was reported also that a number of prominent Negro physicians of Harlem were summoned for questioning.
BOTH THE PHYSICIANS and Attorney Robinson are reported to have taken offense at the story. The physicians felt that their prestige was hurt by the report that they were sending their accident cases to white lawyers instead Negro lawyers, and Attorney Robinson apparently feels that the mention of his name was calculated to implicate him with Oberstein. In neither case, however, has the accuracy of the story been denied. This paper merely stated the facts as it found them, with no intention of misrepresenting anyone. To say that Attorney Robinson does a large "accident business" among Harlem Negroes is not to say that he deals dishonestly with them.
NOR CAN IT BE SAID that the story did an injustice to the Negro physicians. The record sheet of Attorney Kresel, chief counsel of the inquiry, shows that of the fifty-five Harlem physicians who sent Robinson business, all but three are Negroes, and that the number of cases given Robinson by each one in the past three years ranges from one to 139. It was natural to raise the question why this business was not given to Negro lawyers, and The Amsterdam News did not fail to raise it. If Negro physicians themselves send their business to white lawyers instead of Negro lawyers, they cannot justly complain of the large number of Negro patients who seek white physicians instead of Negro physicians.
WANTED --- A JAZZ RELIGION
"THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION — Is It a Sufficient Dynamic for Living in the Modern Day?" This subject, discussed recently at a conference on religion held by the Young People's Fellowship of St. Philip's Church, brought forth many opinions, some for and some against religion. The speeches, when analyzed, were found to deal with the churches rather than with religion itself. That such a distinction is possible is something for the churches of the country to think about.
THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION is sufficient for this day or any other day, if it is lived up to. But to live up to it is not easy, and in this age people wish to get everything easily. This is true of religion, education, and every human field of endeavor. The real reason why students wanted Latin and Greek taken out of the schools was not that they were impractical studies, but that they were difficult. The Christian ideal of pure living, high thinking, faithful work and the Golden Rule does not square with today's ideal of luxurious living, shallow thinking, slipshod work and the Brass Rule.
THE JAZZ AGE wants a jazz religion. Falling away from the Christian standard, the people blame the standard instead of themselves. They are like a man who comes to dinner an hour late and blames the cook because the food is cold.

DR. EMMETT J. SCOTT deserves the thanks of his race for his vigilance in pointing out the dangerous features of a bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Norris of Nebraska. The bill purports to limit the jurisdiction of the Federal District Courts. Dr. Scott says that if this bill should pass the cases now brought by colored people before the Federal Courts would be thrown into the jurisdiction of State Courts. In a suit against peonage, for instance, the Federal Courts would have no jurisdiction, and the case would have to be tried before a court and in a community where the offense was actually condoned.
IF THIS BILL had been drawn up by Cole Blease instead of such a champion of popular rights as Senator Norris, it could not have suited Southernners better. It would remove the last legal safeguard of the Negro. In cases of peonage, disenfranchisement, discrimination or oppression of any kind he would have no chance or hope of redress. This paper urges its readers to write to their Senators protesting against the Norris bill and asking them to oppose it in the Senate.

ONE OF THE CHIEF ARGUMENTS advanced for woman suffrage was that it would raise the standard of public and private life. It was said that women, having more purity and idealism than men, would cleanse the political arena of corruption and legislate men into better behavior. But woman suffrage has been established for almost a decade and men and politics are as unreformed as ever.
IT LOOKS as if women have lowered their standards instead of raising men's standards. The "new freedom" seems to be merely a convenient excuse for misbehavior. Last week a white Long Island postmistress pleaded guilty to stealing from the parcels post, and the case of Mrs. Florence E. S. Knapp, former Secretary of State, and now on trial for grand larceny, is known to all. The Long Island postmistress received a fine and a suspended sentence because she was a woman.

LAST Sunday I sat in the gallery of the House of Representatives and witnessed the state funeral of the late Martin B. Madden. The President of the United States and his cabinet, foreign diplomats, the chief justice and members of the Supreme Court, representatives of the Army and Navy, bedecked with golden stars and braid, the Senate and members of Congress were assembled out of respect to the fallen statesman. Republicans and Democrats, the North and the South, white and black vied to do honor to him whom all Americans delight to honor. his place in the Federal Congress. His suffrage and sufferance. He was assured of his seat as long as he lived by the gratitude and appreciation of his Negro constituents. No man has exercised more powerful influence upon legislation than Joe Cannon was shorn of discretion by her. Nobody making group, so long since known as the progressive blog.
Mr. Madden was kept in his sent, notwithstanding the strong temptation to displace him by a member of the Negro race who, as a spectacle, would serve as an inspiration for every Negro in the land. Every group of citizens drives representation of the own class and kind. For thirty-two years ten million loyal and patriotic citizens have been without direct representation in the halls of Congress. The continued absence of such representation leads the people to feel that it would be unfitting.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Elected Congressman
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
Dear Sir:
The recent death of Congressman Maden has given rise to much comment in re Negro Congressman. I observed in reading this week's issue of The AmsterdNews that the pioneer Negro Congressman, J. Willis Menard, was not mentioned.
He was the very first colored Congressman elected from Louisiana. He was elected to fill an incomplete term. He defeated his opponent, Caleb Hunt, over 3,000 majority and I have the original certificate of his election signed by Governor Warmouth in 1866.
Menard's seating was contested and he was permitted to make a speech on the floor of the House—the first speech ever made in his defense by a Negro. Although he was not seated, his opponent was not seated either. The vacancy was left unfilled. Menard was given, however, the Congressional vote of 15,000, which small balm for his humiliation. His unseating was due solely to his race, but he paved the way for all the others.
My father, W. T. Menard, of 2623 Eleventh street, N. W., Washington, D. C., can verify my statements. The records of the Congress of '66 will also, and any further information sought I will gladly give.
The fact that I am his grandson is merely incidental. I do think, as a matter of race pride or history, some member should be made of my grandfather.
Respectfully,

It was inevitable that, as soon as Mr. Madden's seat became vacated by promotion, voluntary withdrawal or death, he would be replaced by a Negro representative. But so great was the appreciation of the black constituents of his influential and distinguished position in the national life that they refused to displace him

In 1924 her first novel, "There is Confusion," was published. It caused considerable confusion among the critics. As a novelist, Miss Faustet has not attained any great altitude in that particular art. Her style, however, is superb; her language almost immaculate—yet she has her tailings. Miss Faustet's characters at times are poorly represented, and her plots trip in many places, as in the case of the book. But whatever the critics might say of the book it certainly brought the author many new friends. "There is Confusion" is her first novel and we are content to overlook all possible mistakes.

Prejudice as Seen
Through a Negro's Eyes
"A Negro Looks at Race Prejudice" is the subject of a pithy essay by James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, appearing in the American Mercury for May.
"The American Negro is not innumerable of the color" but rather has arrived at the "sound conclusion that the only thing standing between him and a good job as a plumber or a higher position as an executive is a shade or two of complication."
Social equality, always a nightmare with the whites but seldom mentioned by the Negro, says Mr. Johnson, is a question which, in the guise of guilt between the intelligent whites and the intelligent blacks.
"The closest contact is between the well-to-do whites and the servant class of blacks" from whom "the cultured whites get their information about... the world of the well-to-do; cultured Negro." Yet, social prestige of simon-pure Southern whites lies in their own boast of having and the luxury of a Black Mammy, Mr. Johnson emphasizes.

the country which is under the control of Negro forces. At an early day we may confidently expect a Negro Congressman from Chicago. But Mr. Madden has carried the race so faithfully, so thoroughly, that it would be the height of political unadmotion to ruthlessly replace him for the bare sake of substituting a colored man. Mr. Madden is now 70 years old. In the sure course of events he will shortly be called to a higher station. Mr. Madden will seat in Congress. Then comes the time to send a competent Negro as his successor." The prophecy fell true much earlier than the prophet expected or wished. But the fullness of time has now arrived. A Negro has been designated and is allowed on his way to the coveted seat.
I clearly recall the swan song of George H. White-of-North Carolina, whose term expired with the Fifty-sixth Congress. He was the last member of his race to sit among the mighty lawmakers of the land, but he prophesied that the race would return with susi- tances that he did not have foreseen then the transfer of political power from the South to the North. The recent tide of Northern migration did not set in until some two decades after his prophetic utterance. The Northern movement of the Negro population will produce numerous reactions upon race relations. Race prejudice in the North segregates the Negro and confines him to racial residential areas. The evils of segregation in the South affect is beginning to bear fruit. From such districts, Negroes are now sent as representatives to city councils, State legislatures and to the Federal Congress.

THE endocrine glands, situated in various parts of the body and intimately connected physiologically one with
the other, are the cell factories which manufacture a hormone or secretion called internal secretion. This secretion has a predominating influence over all the biological processes of the human body. These glands, through their silent and continuous chemistry, exert a tremendous influence upon life, body and soul. They are sometimes called the glands of personality. They make us what we are, saint or sinner, criminal or good citizen, happy or morose, slothful or active, sick or well.
These glands are the thyroid, the adrenals, parathyroid, thymus, the pituitary, the pineal, the pancreas, the prostate and the ovaries. It has been stated that nearly 90 per cent of human ailments can be ascribed either to an under or over activity of one or more of these glands. The control and regulation of these glands have been the subject of wide scientific study, all over the world where hospitals, laboratories and clinics are.
X-ray and ultra violet light and the alba rays from radium are used to examine these glands to a proper functioning. Imperfect endocrine functioning is not always easy to determine. There is always, however, one very definite clue which is always present. This is a diminished output of energy. This means that the chemistry processes of the body are normal. Such an individual is tired from ordinary muscular and mental energy. This
Every year new knowledge for correcting improper functioning of these endocrine glands is given to a waiting world. Today gland extracts and tinkles are used, either hypodermically or by mouth.

Very few people understand the intricate system of cables and dynamos, vacuum tubes, coil racks, storage batteries, transmitters and generators which enable them to talk from a distance. In fact, a good many could not understand them even if they were explained.
The subscriber's part is very simple: His most important duty is to make sure that he is calling the right number. In New York City alone more than 48,000 wrong numbers are asked for every day by subscribers who have not consulted the directory first or who have unconsciously transposed the digits in a number. For example, 5747 can easily be changed to 5774 or to 7475, etc.

The reason for this is that the switchboard, before which the operator sits, is honeycombed with tiny holes arranged in sections of one hundred each, the section is numbered and each section is the termination of a subscriber's line. In locating Chelsea 4500 the operator first finds the section labeled "45" and then the "oo" hole in that section, and if "45" is given first she has found it by the subscriber has finished calling the subscriber he has pronounced slowly and distinctly.

would come from Chicago, not because the Windy City contains the largest number of Negroes, but because they are better organized and more efficient in following up the political advantages that the situation bestows upon them. Now that the ice has been broken, we may shortly expect a Negro Congressman from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore and somewhat later from St. Louis, Detroit and New York. Within the next decade there will probably be a sufficient number of Negroes, in these several cities within circumscripted racial boundaries to control a Congressional district.
Already New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore have the requisite numbers. Harlem is unfortunately situated for advantageous political grouping. The black belt runs north and south, while the normal political lines of division are maintained at gerrymandering, the Negro voters can be so distributed among a number of Congressional districts as to form a majority in no one of them. But New York Negroes lag behind those of Chicago in every feature of racial enterprise and adventure.
The real value of the Negro's presence in Congress is that it gives to every black citizen the consciousness that he is a part of the governmental machinery and is a participant in the making of the law which he is called upon to obey. And then, the mere presence of the representative of any element in the lawmaking body assures a certain degree of control over the legislation the rights and welfare of that element.

DARK PRINCESS—By W. E. B. DuBOIS. Harcourt, Brace and Co. $2.00.
AT THE turn of the century the American public had stopped worrying about the Negro problem and committed it to the safe and sane care of Booker T. Washington. Here was a man, they fondly thought, who would make the Negro stay put, who would iron out any wrinkles of aspiration that might appear on black brows. But, just as they had settled into slumber, there came a loud knocking at the door, and the voice of a young man crying out something about black people's souls. "Nonsense," they murmured, "Negroes with souls!" and turned back to sleep. But the knocking continued. It grew louder, it was joined by others less vigorous but no less annoying, till at last the door fell in and the black souls poured into the room.
That was the first great achievement of W. E. B. DuBois; in fact, his continuing achievement, after "The Souls of Black Folk" was passed, deadades were to pass, a world-devastating war was to be fought, a great shift of population was to come before the public capitulated to the fact that the Negro intellect was worth serious attention. The DuBois had stopped with "The Souls of Black Folk" this victory would never have been won. For, after the door was knocked down, the people in the room had to be convinced that the black souls belonged there. And this DuBois has done. There was a black slave alone, the present flowering of Negro genius be accredited.
It has seemed at times that the same literary talent that made his polemic books so striking unfitted him for some forms of literature. His style was impassioned, often rhapsodic, with touches of Milton's loftiness, DeQuincyne's purple, Carlyle's anger and a breath of Teutonic mysticism than things; some readers complained that it left them grouping. It appeared, in short, that DuBols had too much intellect to write a novel. [I hereby apply for permission to carry a gun, as there are so many novelists in New York.] If two lists were drawn up, on one of the world's greatest thinkers and one of the greatest story-tellers, there is hard name to give to both like Kipling, for instance, is a wonderful story-teller, but he thinks like a college freshman.
Now, DuBois has proved that he can write a novel. His "Quest of the Silver Fleece" was good, it was even beautiful, but it does not compare with "Dark Princess" or the New York novel of any considerable scope. After all the swage that has been offered us in the name of Negro literature it is refreshing to turn to "Dark Princess." The title suggests romance, and the book is romantic a good deal of the way; but there is a long list of its features. Matthew Towns, a brilliant Negro student in a New York medical school, has led all his classes. In his junior year he is barred from a course in obstetrics because of his color. In a rage he throws his college papers in the street. Discussed with America, he goes to Sirone, to Berlin.
There, in a café, he sees a wonderfully beautiful colored woman who is being annoyed by a white American. He knocks the man down and escapes in a cab with the young woman. She turns out to be no less a personage than Her Royal Highness the Princess of Bwodwur, India, with six million subjects. He learns that she is conferring privately with people from Japan, China, Egypt and
Negro Race Most Fertile in U. S., Says Dr. Dublin
"Of all the native stocks in America, it is and has always been the most broiloc." declares Dr. Louis I. Dublin of the Negro, in a new book, "Health and Wealth," published by Harper & Brothers. Dr. Dublin continues: "To doleful prophecies of those who saw the race problem solved through his (the Negro) life, to doleful prophecies discredited by recent events. The recent gains in the average length of life are entirely commensurate with those of the white population. This fact alone holds out the greatest promise for the future of the Negro in America. Dr. Dublin reports a sharp decline in the incidence of tuberculosis among Negroes and says:
"The colored people have, as a race, good physiques and they are learning all the time to take better care of themselves in relation to their changing environment. In their native habitat, tuberculosis was rather uncommon, only slight prevalence. There is no season, therefore, why they should not ultimately have as low a tuberculosis death rate as any group of the American population in similar economic circumstances."
On the other hand, Dr. Dublin issues a warning against the high death rate from syphilis and degenerative diseases of syphilitic origin, such as locomotor stasis and general paralysis. From the same source, he generously diseases appear to be the most important single obstacle in the health progress of the race."
Dr. Dublin is statistician of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York, and one of the best known authorities on vital statistics

Arabia, with a view to uniting the darker peoples of the world against Caucasian oppression. He meets them, but they do not think the American Negro is worth their trouble. The Princess thinks differently; she persuades Matthew to return to America, out the Negroes, and back home. He returns, becomes a Pulman porter, and investigates. He meets one Pergus, who has ideas of violence. Matthew, enraged at the lynching of an innocent friend, falls in with them, agreeing to say nothing of Pergus's plot to blow up a Ku Klux train. Matthew, determined to die, goes on the fateful trip. But just as the train is nearing the dangerous prison that he encounters this Princess in, the train stops the train and goes to jail. You wish to know why, read the book.
Out of jail, he goes to Chicago, where he becomes a politician and meets Sara Adams, the hard-earned woman in all Chicago. She has the efficiency of a machine, the chastity of Diana, and the principles of a pirate.
All through the Chicago chapters the story holds the note of stark realism; not one character is illogical. In order to be published now, must have been written some months ago, one is started at the fulfilment of its unwitting prophecy. Congressman Doolittle in the story died unexpectedly and made way for a Negro. Congressman Madden has died suddenly and made way for a Negro it is enough to make Dr. DuBois rub his eyes. One is reminded of Oscar Wilde's saying that life has a tendency to rise higher and higher in politic, shedding his conscience as he rises, till one night his Princess intervenes to save his soul. The book ends, as it began, on a romantic note.
In the latter part of the book the old DuBois of the flashing metaphor breaks through. If you wish to know what wonderful writing is, read Pages 265-268 on the building of the Chicago school when St. Nicholas avenue was torn up for a subway, but you never saw it like that.
In fact, all the correspondence between Matthew and his Princess is more poetry than prose. With the momentum of the long story behind him, the author soars off the ground in a paean of love and a glorious prophecy of the union of the darker races and the sun.
