EGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections
NORFOLK PHYSICIAN, HERE ON BUSINESS, FALLS TO DEATH
Dr. W. J. Bowens Had Been Injured in Railroad Accident Some Time Ago Had Complained to Host of Pain in Head
Dr. W. J. Bowens, 58, prominent physician of Norfolk, Va., fell out of the front window of the apartment of Mrs. Julius Elsey, 145 West 141st street, early Wednesday morning, and is believed to have died the instant he struck the pavement five stories below. His body was removed to the hospital in an ambulance. He had been sick for two weeks while visiting Mrs. Elsey.
While on route from Norfolk to Springfield, Mass., to see his family some time ago, Dr. Bowens met with an accident and entered suit against the railroad. During his last visit he had stopped here to attend to this matter, it is reported. Mrs. Elsey told a reporter that she had known the physician for two years, and that during his recent visit he was ill all of the time, complaining mostly with pains in the head.
On the tragic night Dr. Bowens had said: "For God's sake, Mrs. Elsey, please get me a pan of cold ter for my head!" Mrs. Elsey went and returned only to find the doctor dead in the street below. His body was found without any bruises, as he landed on his feet, both of which were broken.
William McKinley Paulst, his ester son, also residing with Mrs. Elsey, took charge of the body. Mrs. Bowens, the widow, lives at Springfield, where she has been keeping house for her two sons, who are students at Amherst College. Dr. Bowens' practice at Norfolk was said to be very large.

Sixty Negro Delegates in Attendance At Republican National Convention
Sixty Negro Delegates in Attendance At Republican National Convention
Number From South Smaller, but Northern States Send More United on Enforcement of Amendments to Constitution
KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 11.—Fifty delegates and ten alternates are the Negro's representation in the Republican National Convention, which convened yesterday.
In previous years the South sent more than it has here now, but never before have so many states north of the Mason-Dixon line been represented.
The number of Negro delegates by States is:
Arkansas, 3; Georgia, 11; Illinois, 2; Kentucky, 2; Louisiana, 5; Maryland, 3; Michigan, 1; Mississippi, 8; Missouri, 3; New Jersey, 1; Ohio, 1; Oklahoma, 1; South Carolina, 6; Tennessee, 1, and West Virginia, 2—total, 50.
Alternates: Iowa, 1; Maryland, 3; Massachusetts, 1; Michigan, 1; New York 2, and Pennsylvania, 2—total, 10.
As at former conventions the charge has been made that the Southern delegates are sold out at so much per t of the highest bidder by candidates these delegates impose, and by those who want to see the Negro entirely eliminated from politics.
Most of the Southern delegations containing Negroes were seated, except in the case of Walter Cohen, Collector of Customs at New Orleans. Cohen himself was seated but the rest of his delegation was defeated when the contest was brought before the committee last week.
“If the Republican Party writes into its platform a declaration for enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, it must include the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments,” is the slogan of Negro leaders here.
S. D. Redmond, delegate selected for the Mississippi member of the Committee on Platform and Resolutions, said he would insist on pledging the Republicans to a more vigorous enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.
“Why should there be any discrimination?” said he. “It is well known to Senator Borah and other prominent party men that these are being ignored. Every Negro delegate here should resent any plan to favor the Eighteenth over the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.”
Thoroughly aroused over this matter, the delegates were busy today calling on their friends from other States, urging them to stand by them in their efforts to get justice.
Man Shot With Sawed-Off Gun
Pair Had Attended Saturday Night "Rent Party" in West 144th St.
James West is lying in a critical condition at Harlem Hospital with his chest, right arm and shoulder perforated with buckshot from a sawed-off gun. Jerry King, 19, 234 Bradhurst avenue, is under arrest, accused of having shot him at 4:30 Sunday morning during the breaking up of a party in a ground-floor apartment at 207 West 144th street. According to the police, West and King engaged in a heated argument, and when King was struck he drew out a gun and fired six times at West, four of the bullets taking effect. During an interview at Harlem Hospital Sunday afternoon, West deadled this story and declared emphatically that he did not know the person who shot him. West told the reporter that he resides at 140 West 142nd street, but had gone into partnership with Carl Kay of the same address to rent the apartment in 144th street for the purpose of giving "house-rent" parties. Saturday night, he said, the apartment was jammed and everybody was just having a fine time until about 4 a.m., when two of his friends began to argue over a girl. The smaller of the two, whom he called "Little Angle," was struck by the bigger fellow, referred to as "Slim." Angle left the party with

King George's Relative, Demented Man Avers
Boasting acquaintances with King George, ownership of all natural products taken from Mother Earth by Henry Ford, all the gold and banks in the world and of freeing the slaves in America, Luther Gray, 42, no home, was given a home in the observation ward at Bellevue Hospital on Monday. Gray was arrested clad in nothing but trousers and overcoat, riding in a taxicab, by Patrolman Oliver Williams of the West 135th street station. Magistrate McQuade detained "Harlem's richest (2) man" in a cell until the arrival of the Bellevue ambulance. Others sent to Bellevue were John Walker, 22, 172 West 134th street, who was picked up by the police at 131st street and Seventh avenue, and Vernal Kennedy, 22, 2424 Seventh avenue, who left at home a wife and four children.
Dismissed Without Trial
Lawrence Roberts, residing at 106 West 115th street, was dismissed without trial on a motion by his attorney, Louis A. Lavelle, 200 West 125th street, when he was arraigned Friday morning in Part II of General Sessions on a charge of felonious assault.

Beyond this point West would give no further information, but in an interview the same afternoon with one of the women present at the party it was said that Jerry King came to the assistance of his friend, "Little Augle." One of the women who saw him approach with the gun in his hand screamed, and in the panic which ensued "Slim" stepped out of the window onto the fire escape and made his getaway. Apparently King and West were unknown to each other, and when "Little Augle" called out from the hall, "He is standing by the window, Jerry," King saw West, and amid the screams of women and the staccato reports of his gun he emptied the buckshot from the sawn-off gun into West's body.

Physicians at Harlem Hospital say that West will recover. King was arraigned in Heights Court Sunday before Magistrate McQuade and held without ball for a further hearing today.
Licenses Revoked
Those whose automobile licenses were revoked recently, by Charles A. Harnett, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, at Albany, were: Lad Saywer, 125 Wost 127th street, and Willard Harris, 592 Lenox avenue, for driving while intoxicated. Joseph C. Vaughan, 218 West 128th street, and William Bullard, 135 West 141st street, lost their licenses for speeding.

Accused of killing her husband to get $800 insurance money, Victoria Berry, 35, 21 East 114th street, was arrested and charged with homicide Sunday, when the body of Ezekiel Berry, 53, was found dead in the hallway on the top floor of their home. Berry was stabbed twice in the head and twice in the body.
"BURIED WIFE IN WOODS TO SAVE FUNERAL EXPENSE"
Walter K. Bimby, 28, of Bordentown, gave himself up early Sunday after a two-day search had been made for him, following the finding of his wife's body buried in the woods near the outskirts of town.
Elijah Bradford, 28, 2338 Fifth avenue, the woman's brother, was also held as a partner to the crime. Detectives Gunson and Salter of the East 104th street station were the arresting officers. Samuel Brewster, 204 East ninety-ninth street, was not arrested as reported, but taken to the police station and questioned. When he explained that he was only visiting friends at the scene of the murder he was released. Berry was insured by his wife for $800 and the policy had lapsed. The usual thirty days' grace expired Monday. Berry was killed Sunday.

near the outskirts of town.
When questioned by the police, he said his wife had jumped out of his automobile and had been killed. Bimby, who is a sawmill employee, had fled to the woods upon the approach of State Troopers who were investigating the disappearance of his wife.
It appears that Bimby, his wife and a friend, Henry Cole, were returning from a rather hectic party at Matawan on May 19. Bimby, who had apparently found the spirits of frumenti to his liking, was driving too fast to suit his wife, who demanded that he slow down. Finding that he would not heed her request, she jumped.
Upon picking Bimby's wife up, Cole told him there was no use going for a doctor. Bimby took the body home and later burked it in the woods.
Bimby has been held by the local police, pending an investigation of his story.
When asked about his reason for burying the body himself, he mumbled something about "saving funeral expenses."
Postal Employees' Head Here
Ray O, Wilholt, president of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, will spend a few hours in the city tomorrow. He is very desirous of meeting officials of all postal organizations. Leaving here Mr. Wilholt will attend the fifteenth anniversary celebration of the Mutual Association of Postal Employees at Philadelphia.
The alleged motive for the man's act was strengthened by the fact, the police say, that she had quarrelled with Berry and expressed her unwillingness to keep on paying the premiums on the policy without his assistance. "And unless you pay me back I'll kill you!" it is said she threatened.
Just fifteen minutes before the finding of Berry's body, Bradford and he were seen coming out of the building together, witnesses declare. Bradford and his sister are being held without ball for trial in Homicide Court.

White Auto Thief
Arraigned in Court
John Schmidt, 17, white, of Utica, N. Y., who was shot on June 4, when caught driving a stolen automobile, was brought from Harlem Hospital Sunday and arraigned before Magistrate Glatzmayer in Harlem Court on a charge of grand larceny.
Schmidt is charged with the theft of an automobile belonging to John Stitt, of 55 East 133d street, which was stolen on June 3 from in front of 52 West 127th street. The next day Patrolman Reynolds of the West 123d street station saw Schmidt seated in the car about to drive away and ordered him to stop. Instead Schmidt jumped from the car and tried to run away. The policeman fired and the bullet struck him in the left leg.
After his removal to the hospital the police learned that Schmidt had escaped from the House of Refuge on Randall's island. He told the police he stole the automobile in order to ride to his home in Utica. Magistrate Glatzmayer held him in $5,000 bail for the Grand Jury.

Spingarn Medal Goes to Novelist
Charles W. Chesnutt of Cleveland Selected by Committee
The fourteenth annual award of the Spingarn Medal this year is made to Charles Waddell Chessnut of Cleveland, novelist, short story writer, and public spirited citizen, according to announcement today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue.
The medal which goes each year to the man or woman of African descent and United States citizenship for most distinguished achievement in some field of honorable endeavor is given to Mr. Chessnut for his "pioneer work as a literary artist depicting the life and struggle of Americans of Negro descent, and for his long and useful career as scholar, worker and freeman of one of America's greatest cities."
The medal is to be presented in Los Angeles on July 3 by Lieutenant Governor Buron L. Fitts of California, at the nineteenth annual conference of the association.
Mr. Chessnut was born in Cleveland, June 20, 1858, and moved in early youth with his family to North Carolina, where at the age of 16 he began teaching in the public schools. At 23 years of age he was principal of the State Normal School at Fayetteville. He came to New York City in 1883 to do newspaper work and then went to Cleveland, where he obtained employment as a stenographer, being admitted to the Bar in 1887.
In that year he began in the Atlantic Monthly a series of stories later collected in a book entitled "The Conjure Woman." Mr. Chesnutt published two books in 1899, "The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories of the Color Line" and a "Life of Frederick Douglas." They were followed in 1900 by "The House Behind the Codars." In 1901 by "The Marrow of Tradition" and in 1905 by "The Colonel's Dream." Mr. Chesnutt is one of the first writers to have carefully studied the dialect and the ways of Southern Negroes, as well as of white people in their relation to Negroes, and to give literary form to these studies in his stories and novels. A new novel by Mr. Chesnutt is in preparation.

Rev. S. H. V. Gumbs Asks $20,000 from Rev. Coleridge A. Gill — Latter Separated From Spouse Since 1926—Wife, in Interview, Charges Cruelty
The Rev. S. H. V. Gumbs, presiding elder of the Brooklyn district of the A.M.E. Church, residing at 1980 Seventh avenue, through his attorney, Lennie L. George, 200 West 135th street, served summons on the Rev. Coleridge A. Gill of Brooklyn Friday afternoon in connection with a slander suit for $20,000, in which the Rev. Mr. Gill is accused of circulating rumors in an effort to blacken the elder's character. Statements in the complaint are to the effect that the Rev. Mr. Gill's wife, Geraldine, who makes her home at 221 Hooper street, Brooklyn, wrote a letter to the Rev. Mr. Gumbs complaining about the treatment accorded her by her husband,

even though they have been separated since October, 1926. As a consequence, the complaint continues, the presiding elder asked the Rev. Mr. Gill and his wife to attend a conference at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, in Brooklyn, then pastored by the defendant, and at which time the Rev. Mr. Gumbs are tempted to straighten out the marital tangles of the couple and to have them reconciled.
It is then alleged that the Rev. Mr. Gill made certain remarks in the presence of the presiding elder which forced the latter to comment that: "It does appear as if your wife's complaint is founded on facts." Then, it is charged, the Rev. Mr. Gill became angry and so caused the presiding elder of taking sides with his wife. On the following day the pastor of St. Paul's turned in his resignation.

After being arrested on a charge of unlawful entry, Edwards was identified, the police said, as the man who entered the residence of Mrs. E. H. Harriman, widow of the railroad builder, 1 East Sixty-ninth street, last Tuesday afternoon, and the home of Mrs. Louis F. Strauss, wife of the banker, 26 East Eighty-third street, last Wednesday afternoon. In both instances Edwards is said to have escaped in his new Cadillac automobile.
Sought Job Washing Windows
It was William Jamieson Mackay, white, valet to H. H. Rogers Jr., who discovered Edwards concealed in the clothespress, and moved cautiously over to the dresser and withdrew an empty revolver and covered the man. Upon demanding the reason for his presence, Edwards is said to have replied: "I'm looking for a job washing windows." This was also the excuse he gave for entering the other two homes, the police said.
Mackay marched Edwards downstairs to the servants' quarters and
Simplicity Marks Fortune Services
Noted Journalist Buried From Home of His Son in Philadelphia
(Special) to The Amsterdam News.)
PHILADELPHIA, June 11.—T. Thomas Fortune, "the dean of Negro journalism," was laid to rest in Eden Cemetery last Wednesday afternoon. The simple, impressive and short service, at the home of the deceased's son, Dr. Frederick W. Fortune, 770 South Eighteenth street, was presided over by Bishop W. H. Heard. Father Jensen of Trenton, N. J., and the Rev. J. E. Rodgers of Burlington, N. J., assisted. Mrs. C. Jefferson played the funeral music.
The pallbearers for this solemn occasion included Magistrate Edward W. Henry, Dr. J. Q. McDougald, Dr. C. W. Dorsey, Dr. E. T. Hinson, L. O. Summersett, Dr. Harold Norwood and T. P. Datterson.
Among the distinguished persons who attended the services were ex- Congressman G. Miller and Thomas B. Patterson of Hampton, Va. A complete account of the life of Mr. Fortune, who knew what he wanted and was willing to fight for it, who died at Mercy Hospital on Saturday night, June 2, appeared in last week's Amsterdam News.

even though they have been separated since October, 1928.
As a consequence, the complaint continues, the presiding elder asked the Rev. Mr. Gill and his wife to attend a conference at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church, in Brooklyn, then pastored by the defendant, and at which time the Rev. Mr. Gumbs attempted to straighten out the marital tangles of the couple and to have them reconciled.
It is then alleged that the Rev. Mr. Gill made certain remarks in the presence of the presiding elder which forced the latter to comment that: "It does appear as if your wife's complaint is founded on facts." Then, it is charged, the Rev. Mr. Gill became angry and accused the presiding elder of taking sides with his wife. On the following day the pastor of St. Paul's turned in his resignation.
Since that time, the allegations continue, the former pastor of St. Paul's Church has been going about telling certain persons that the Rev. Mr. Gumbs is responsible for all of his woes. Being resentful of those alleged inferences, the Rev. Mr. Gumbs resorted to the slander suit as a means of protecting his name and character. However, he would add nothing to the complaint when a reporter called to see him early Monday afternoon.
The Rev. Mr. Gill was also uncommunicative when a reporter called at his home, 369 Clifton place, his only remark being that, in his opinion, the Rev. Mr. Gumbs had slandered him more than he would ever dream of slandering anyone. The curious aspect of the case and the determined silence maintained by the two principals caused the reporter to make a visit to Mrs. Geraldine Gill at her Hooper street address. With a cheery "Howdy do" and "have a seat?" she invited the reporter to make himself comfortable and proceeded to relate her sorrows and woes.
"I married Mr. Gill in June, 1924," she said, "and almost immediately he began to abuse me, beat me up, steal my hard-earned money, and wouldn't even let me sleep in bed with him. Later on I intercepted a letter that he had written to one Luella Spears, living at 109 Chester avenue, in which he wanted to know if 11:30 p. m. would be all right.
"I went to visit this Miss Spears and she told me that she was innocent of the fact that he had a wife. She acted very nice about it and gave me some other letters he had written her in which it was revealed that he had asked for her hand in marriage, posing to be a divorced master from Connecticut.
"It was not long after that I suffered one of the worst beatings at his hand, in which he inflicted this scar on me (pointing to a scar over her temple). Finally, he began to lock me out at night when I came home tired from work and I soon found out that he was keeping company with Miss Irn Scale of 1070 Dean street.
"I went to see Miss Seale and she, also, told me that he had proposed to her in front of her sister, Mrs. Mitchell, and other witnesses, posing as a divorced pastor from Boston. It was then that I severed all of my relations with him and came to live here at my workplace.
"Even then, however, he wouldn't let me alone, and would come around, eat his meals, take my money and my clothes, and tell me haughtily; 'I am a man accustomed to receiving, but not giving.' It was then that I wrote to Elder Gumbs, complaining of my husband's heartlessness, brutality and non-support, and begging him to do something about it."
Mrs. Oll stated in conclusion that the Rev. Mr. Gumbs called the conference between the two, with the results aforementioned. The Rev. Mr. Gill was formerly pastor of the old St. Paul's Church, which up to a few years ago, was located on West 131st street.
Yesterday Attorney George would not comment on the case except to remark sarcastically that "the man is in the frying-pan; watch I pop!"
STRIKE IS INDEFINITELY POSTPONED
Organizer A. P. Randolph of Porters' Union to Confer With A. F. L. President
Strike Machinery to Be Kept in Oiled Condition — May Be Supported by Other Railway Unions — Scabs Already on Scene
The Pullman porters' strike has been indefinitely postponed. William Green, white, president of the American Federation of Labor, suggested this action to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters just twenty-four hours after stating to A. Philip Randolph, general organizer, that the American Federation of Labor would lend its financial and moral support to the strike, which was scheduled for Friday noon. The Brotherhood is not affiliated with the Federation.
On Wednesday evening at a mass meeting at St. Luke's Hall, 123. West 130th street, it was announced that "the strike machinery of the Brotherhood throughout the country is well oiled and ready to strike the blow that will be heard round the world." Mr. Randolph stated that 6,013 members had voted to strike, with only 50 dissenting. All the dangers, probable consequences, serious misfortunes were viewed by the strike, were put before the members in solemn, ornest and glowing terms.
Mr. Green wired the Brotherhood that a strike on Friday would play into the hands of the Pullman Company, and that economic conditions are also unfavorable to the success of the strike.
Mediation Board Dissents
Wednesday night the United States Mediation board informed the Brotherhood by telegram that in its judgment an emergency as provided for in the Railway Labor Act does not exist at this time. Therefore, President Coolidge will not be asked to appoint an Emergency Board to compel the Pullman Company to meet and recognize the Brotherhood. The Board, however, gave no specific reason for its action. The general organizer pointed out that the Board recommended that President Coolidge establish an Emergency Board in the case of a strike by only 600 employees on the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient railroads, while they now fall to see an emergency in a strike of 6,000 employees of the Pullman Company, thus showing discrimination.
The present wage of the porter is $72.50 a month with a 11,000 mile basis of work or nearly a 400 hour age work-month. The Brotherhood demands $150 a month and a $240 hour month or 5-hour day. Porter's tips average $58 a month, out of which they must pay $33 as occupational expenses for shoe polish, food in transit and at terminals and two uniforms a year.
A New Strategy
At the second mass meeting at St. Luke's Hall, Friday night, Mr. Randolph outlined to the porters in detail the reasons for following the advice of Mr. Green. The porters' strike committee, which consists of Mr. Randolph and M. P. Webster, Chicago division organizer, announced that their strike machinery will be kept intact and perfected throughout the next thirty days.
Mr. Randolph left for Washington yesterday morning to confer with Mr. Green, and will return and report the result of his conference at another Brotherhood mass meeting at St. Luke's Hall tomorrow evening. Postponement of the strike, said Mr. Randolph, has strengthened the Brotherhood's position as never before; has revealed the weakness of some of its plans and has entirely changed the methods whereby the Pullman Company plans to meet the strike.
"As it is now the Pullman Company is up in the air," he said. "They don't know what we're going to do, nor when. We have demoralized the spirit of the Pullman Company."
"The only thing that will win this fight is power, and we cannot afford to ignore the power of the support of the American Federation of Labor, which means the support of about 4,000,000 organized workers." The delay has also given us a chance to test the temper of the men and women in the Brotherhood, and all of them have made a splendid showing.
"A very elaborate and detailed strike program is to be worked out and this time we will have not only the support of the American Federation of Labor, but of the Association of Railway Labor Executives, headed by D. B. Robinson. The latter organization has delayed their individual support in order to give us their collective support. I have been asked to address their next meeting in order that they might take a definite stand in our behalf.
"All the railway labor unions, including the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, are with us in this light."
Pullman Company Not (?)
Worried
Edward F. Carry, president of the Pullihan Company, announced last week that he was prepared to maintain the service to the public and was not "basing any sheep over the situation." It is also reported that Mr. Kittenhouse, divisional superintendent of the New York Central, said that he didn't even know there was going to be a strike! However, there is every indication that the Pullihan Company is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in preparation for the strike. Roy Lancaster, secretary-treasurer, outlined these preparations at Friday's meeting.
Every porter who was to be off on day was ordered to report back duty, he said. At the Grand trial station 100 men were held breadths; 50 extra men were held in the Pennsylvania station. 50 or waited to takeers' places at Manhattan Trans-

At the direction of one Mr. Heyt several truckloads of strike breakers rolled into Grand Central station Friday and were housed in ten Pullman trains "where the strikers couldn't get at them," said Mr. Lancaster, and all of them had signing out papers, ready to go to work any moment.
Carlouts of food have been provided for the seals, and in the sixty-six districts of the Pullman Company throughout the country sleeping cars are being used to house the new men. A private police force has been organized to patrol the railroad properties. Cleaners and other employees have been given porters' uniforms and instructions preparatory to being called to strike duty.
The Brotherhood also reports that A. R. MacDonald, white, professional spy and strike breaker, has been hired by the Pullman Company. One of his methods, it is said, is to "plant" dynamite on strikers and cause their arrest.
"In other words we have caused the Pullman Company to grapple with an imaginary strike, which is far worse than a real one," said Mr. Rendolph. "We have outwitted them, and they are in a greater state of uncertainty then before. The information and experience we have gained in the last 24 hours would enable us to win the strike unaided, if we cared to do so."
Stoolpigeons, Scabs Warned
At the first mass meeting the leaders of the Brotherhood poured forth bitter invectives upon the heads of the half-dozen "spies and stooppoles" sitting in the audience, warning them never to appear at another meeting.
"A stooppole is so low," said Mr. Randolph, "that a worm would have to stoop to walk beneath him!"
In passing the strike resolution it was resolved "That the porters and mails of the Union will not only walk off the cars, but shall keep anybody else, Negro, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino and white man from walking on the cars."
While violence was not encouraged the members were told to use their own methods. Physical injury, bloodshed and jail were bodily faced as almost inevitable consequences of executing the strike order.
Woman and children, under the auspices of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Brotherhood, are organizing to picket all Pulman terminals and property as soon as the strike order is given.
Another resolution was passed Friday night upon the postponement of the strike, and loyalty to the leaders was again pledged. While the strike date is now indefinite it is certain that nothing will be done until Mr. Randolph returns from Washington tomorrow.
The active support of the train conductors and other railroad employees will be a vital factor in making the strike a success, said the general organizer, "for they will terrify, hound and hawass the strike breakers so forcefully as to drive them off the trains."
"Our immediate program," said Mr. Randolph, "will be to bring the other three or four thousand porters into the Brotherhood, making it 100 cent strong.
"In the meantime we will go straight ahead with our strike program; postponement does not mean that we are required to give the Pullman Company further notice of when we will strike.
"If the support and influence of other organizations fails to bring an adjustment of our grievances without a strike, then we will positively strike the blow and paralyze the Pullman transportation system."
President Coolidge has been deluged with telegrams from white and colored people and various organizations all over the country, urging him to appoint an Emergency Board.
Employment Agencies Consulted
Information has reached the Brotherhood headquarters, 2311 Seventh avenue, to the effect that several porters lost their jobs because they did not give Pullman officials a positive reply concerning Harlem's Cut R

their attitude on the strike. Only one of these men belonged to the porters' union, it is reported. It was also revealed that Pullman officials appealed to several Harlem employment agencies to furnish them with strike breakers and that many of these agencies refused their offer, hence the rumor that white porters may be employed in case the Brotherhood calls a strike. "I am confident," said Mr. Randolph in a statement to the press, "that if white men were put on the cars during this or any future strike of the porters and maids, these white workers would meet with obliquity and seorn from the traveling public and all self-respecting citizens."
Mediation Board Explains
In a letter to The Amsterdam News from John Marriman, secretary of the United States Board of Mediation, under the date of June 8, Mr. Marriman states:
"As you doubtless have been informed, this situation has already been materially relieved. May I add that the Board of Mediation has already extended substantial services in an effort to compose the differences involved in this matter, and further that our Board is prepared to continue such services in a manner and degree limited only by the provisions of law under which we function.
"It is our hope that some plan may be devised whereby the contending parties may proceed to an amicable and mutually satisfactory adjustment of their differences."
To Investigate Board
Included in the Brotherhood's resolution of strike postponement and of faith in its leaders, it was also resolved to urge upon the incoming Congress an unbiased investigation of the Meditation Board (to show cause why they declined to act in the emergency of the Brotherhood strike). Pressure from various sources will be brought to bear, said Mr. Randolph, to push this investigation to the limit and to make it as rigid as possible.
Burglary Suspect Lived in Luxury
(Continued from Page 1)
called Charles Roth, white, second man, to his assistance. As Maclay handed the weapon to Roth an released his hold on Edwards for a second. Edwards broke for freedom. The chase led through the living room and out into the courtyard, where the two men grappled with Edwards, who is said to have fought the man, punching, kicking and hitting. Maclay said that Edwards almost chowed off one of his fingers. In the meantime, he called Patrolman Wood of the East Side seventh street station, who came on the scene and helped subdue Edwards, with the assistance of Harry Caslow, white, a chauffeur, who joined in the fray.
According to Patrolman Wood, Edwards asked permission to get his automobile, a big gray Cadillac touring car, which was parked on Sixteenth street, between Second and Third avenues. The officer consented and the entire party got in the car and drove to the station house.
Suspect Lived in Luxury
Detectives Moran and Jones then drove the immaculately dressed Edwards out to his Jamaica home, which turned out to be a fine one-family brick and stucco house, very elaborately furnished with beautiful tapesties and costly furniture.
Edwards owns the house, which stands on a valuable piece of ground, and employs a housekeeper to do the cooking and take care of the place, the detectives reported. The neighbors said they believed the "prosperous-looking gentleman" to be a real estate operator.
Several pieces of jewelry were found in the home, the police said, along with two tickets for jewelry Edwards had pawned. Six other pawn tickets were found in his possession at the time of his arrest, they stained. Fingerprint records disclosed that Edwards had been arrested three times for burglary, once for petty larceny and attempted grand larceny, and had served one term in Sing Sing. The police suspect him of having perpetrated nearly forty-burglaries in the Park and Fifth avenue sections.
The case was again arraigned yesterday in the Harlem Court. An additional complaint of grand larceny was made by Mrs. Cora. R. Trimble, 1020 Madison avenue. She charges that he steal $40,000 worth jewelry from her home on May 2. Some of the jewelry stolen from her home he found in Edwards' home after he was arrested. The new complaint, as well as the old one, was adjourned until June 19.

The expansion program of the Urban League, 204 West 136th street, whereby it is to purchase an adjoining property for $21,250, was explained in detail Friday during an exclusive interview with James H. Hubert, executive secretary. He explained that the burden placed upon the present quarters has exceeded its capacity. "Our aim is larger quarters for better and greater service," he said.
John D. Rockefeller Jr., upon learning of the expansion program, made announcement, through his personal secretary, Thomas Applegate, white, that he will give $10,000 toward the work, on condition that Negroes raise $10,000; and that he will match dollar for dollar money raised over that amount. The Executive Board is making a special appeal this month to raise the entire amount in cash. All pledges, however, must be paid by the end of the present year.
The owner of the adjoining property is Mrs. Etta May Jackson, who conducts a rooming house.
room for them but will enable the League to add more workers to its staff. The directors of the Boy and Girl Scout movement will have their headquarters here; and workers in the Women's Court and among the young men and boys in the City Prison will be installed here also. Mr. Hubert also mentioned the League's special interest in camps for convalescents.
The present quarters are being used day and night, and even the cellar is being utilized by the Boy Scouts. The annual report of the League shows that over eighty-five different clubs hold 1,455 convictors.
Through the efforts of John E. Nall, vice-chairman and realtor, an agreement was reached to sell at $21,250, exclusive of his broker's fee, which he waived.
Social Clearing House
During its existence much misunderstanding has arisen concerning just what are the functions of the Urban League. "It functions only in cases where other agencies find it impossible to do so; it is a clearing house for all agencies in the city working among Negroes. Its services extend to all phases of life, and is the only agency that operates outside of its own building and ownership.
"We have about fifty regularly employed workers in the building, which I believe, constitutes the largest number of such workers in any other similar Negro organization."
Mr. Hubert explained that the police station and other places always sent unfortunate and stranded colored people to the League just because they were colored, but should, instead, send them to the various social agencies whose work it is to handle such cases.
None of the white agencies show any discrimination, he said, but he admitted that a Negro can usually get almost any kind of assistance except a place to sleep. The League reserves its services, however, to the larger matters of housing, sanitation, industrial and employment adjustment, work in the courts, hospitals and so on.
A special agency worker should be on duty constantly at the police prefects, he said. Until a better plan is worked out, the League will feel obliged to listen to individual cases and do the best it can.

When the new property is annexed the yards in the rear will be converted into playgrounds.
"Many persons have received the misinformation that the Urban League is controlled by the white people, who have been kind enough to contribute to its support," said Mr. Hubert. "Such is not the case, it is run entirely by Negroes, and our supporters back us in all our policies. We employ Negro workers only, and even train them in social work. Yet the program of the Urban League is interracial."

Discovery Made When Tenant Went to Complain About Water
Charles Harrington, 40, janitor to the tenement house at 113 Bax 111th street, was found murdered in his apartment Saturday morning. He had been stabbed to death with a large butcher knife.
His common-law wife, Viola, was arrested, charged with homicide and held without bail for further hearing. The case was arranged for Homicide Court Monday, the women denying that she stabbed Harrington.
The discovery was made when tenant in the house went to the Harrington home to complain about the lack of hot water. Harrington was found lying on the kitchen floor in a pool of blood. He had been stabbed a dozen times about the head and the left side. Alongside of his lay the blood-soaked knife which he had been killed.
Dr. Palumbo, who was called from Harlem Hospital, pronounced Harrington dead. Detectives Murth and Smith arrived from the East 104th street station and learned from neighbors that Harrington and his common-law wife had been quarrelling almost nightly for the past few days. Mrs. Harrington is said to be about 30 years old. She is far complexioned and could almost par for a white woman.

CITIZENS
Testimonial Dinner Given in His Honor At Instance of Dr. Marshall E. Ross
Untiring Efforts of Civic Leader Have Secured Improvements for Harlem's Guardian of the Community's Health and Welfare
An auspicious affair was the testimonial dinner given Dr. Charles A. Butler, president of the Citizens' Welfare Council of Harlem, at the Dark Tower, 108 West 136th street, Monday evening. At the direction of Dr. Marshall E. Ross almost three-score citizens, mostly of the medical profession, gathered to do honor to a Harlemite who has several outstanding civic achievements to his credit.
During the serving of a delicious menu, Cecelia Lacey and Lillian Gauntlette, lyric and dramatic sopranos, respectively, sang sweet songs accompanied by Vincent de Sola, Spanish musician. Most pleasing numbers were also rendered by Eric Adams, tenor, and Carrie Burton Overton, pianist.
Eulogy and expressions of gratitude were rife with the several speakers, which included Bossye J. Beardon, Noah D. Thompson, Mabel Doyle Keaton, James H. Hubert, Edgar Gray, and Doctors S. H. Pottinger, Lucten M. Brown, and Oma H. Price. Dr. Ross was toastmaster and Caska Bonds chairman of the program.
A Man Who Does Things
The great benefits which have accrued to this community through the unselfish efforts of Dr. Butler were enumerated and extolled.
First was the placing of Negro physicians in Harlem Hospital, agitation for which was started by Dr. Butler in January, 1925, and consummated June 22, 1926.
Next came the building of the comfort station in Morningside Park, at 135th street, at a cost of $40,000. Efforts for this much-needed addition to the community's welfare was begun on June 26, 1926, and the work was completed in March of this year. The station is equipped with a pavilion on the roof, where mothers may take their children for sunbaths and which will also be used for band concerts.
In 1927 Dr. Butler succeeded in having an appropriation passed for playground improvements in Mount Morris Park, at 122d street, with the full co-operation of Park Commissioner Gallagher.
Guards Harlem's Health
About nine months ago Dr. Butler set to work upon a proposition that is of paramount importance to the health of everybody in Harlem, regardless of their race. This was the dredging of the Harlem River and removal from its bottom of nearly 60 feet of mud and flth, which for years has menaced the health of everyone. For a time it was feared that some terrible epidemic of disease would sweep through Harlem unless this condition was remedied.
When Dr. Butler learned that the U. S. War Department planned to make Harlem River navigable for large craft by deepening it and widening it from Spuyten Duyvil Creek down to the East River, he was told that only about fifteen feet of the mud would be removed. He succeeded in convincing the authorities that, unless all of it was removed, the river would still remain a menace to health.
This added nearly three million dollars to the cost of the project, raising the total to $6,000,000. Dr. Butler's views were accepted. During the past six months the river has been dredged and the mud taken out. There still remains the removal of the rock up at McCombs Dam and down at Hell Gate, so as to give the water a clear and uninterrupted passageway. The work is to be complete by the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1929.
The next biggest thing that Dr. Butler has done for Harlemites was having included in the city's hospital appropriation $1,000,000 for the enlarging of Harlem Hospital and the building of a nurses' home at an additional cost of $700,000. The doctor's efforts in this direction began in last September and the appropriation came through last month.
Geraldyn Dismond was chairman of the committee of arrangements, which included the names of Mrs. Louis A. Corbill, Mrs. Beardon, Mr. Hubert, Doctors Brown, James T. W. Granady, M. P. Murry, Ross, and six others who were unable to attend: Attorneys Harry Austin, James Watson and Myles Palge, Dr. William Hayes, William M. K.ley and Junius M. Greene.
Others present included: Mrs. Charles H. Butler, wife of the honored guest; Miss Aletha Spatches, Mrs. Peter Murray, Laurelot Armstrong, Joseph A. Sieber, Emilio Ramery, Attorney Fitzgerald Phillips, Mrs. James T. W. Granady, Mrs. M. Sherman, Mrs. P. R. Bartley, Mrs. David I. Martin, I. Bayward Whitney, Mr. and Mrs. George B. Overton, Mrs. Lucien M. Brown, Mrs. James H. Hubert, Mrs. Oma H. Price, Mrs. Marshall E. Ross, Mrs. Augusta Brown, and Doctors Godfrey Nurse, Louis A. Corbin, E. A. Love, Paul F. Collins, Neville C. Whiteman, Nelson Alexander Holt, and J. W. Saunders.
UNEMPLOYMENT TO BE DISCUSSED BY COUNCIL
A mass meeting will be held at Mother Zion Community House at 2 o'clock next Sunday afternoon by the North Harlem Community Council for the purpose of discussing and making plans for the solving of the unemployment situation in Harlem. The committee in charge consists of the Rev. George W. Allen, chairman; Mrs. Catherine Simons Douwes, James Middleton, Mrs. S. R. Safon, secretary, and R. R. Abbott.

Miner Tells of Coal Field Horrors
Mass Meeting Also Addressed by Editor of Daily Worker
A story of wanton brutality against the miners in the Pennsylvania coal fields was told Friday night by Isaiah Hawkins, a mine leader from Fredericktown, Pa., at a meeting held under the auspices of the Negro Committee for Miners' Relief at St. James' Presbyterian Church, St. Nicholas avenue and 143rd street. Richard B. Moore of the American Negro Labor Congress presided. The Rev. William Lloyd Imes, pastor of St. James', urged Negroes' support of the miners' strike.
Mr. Hawkins related the cruel conduct of the mine company's police, most of whom he said were thugs and ex-convicts. He told of how the mounted police rode down and clubbed women and children who were out on the picket line. Miners were arrested and beaten, he said, wholly without cause.
Mr. Hawkins told of a colored woman who asked a white police sergeant why she was arrested and the officer knocked her down and kicked her and said, "That is my answer!"
Robert Minor, white, editor of The Daily Worker, said that the present miners' strike is proving to be a death blow to the Jim Crow line in labor unions by placing Negro leaders on the strike committee.
He branded the heads of the American Federation of Labor as a gang of robbers who are fighting against the true interests of the workers. "We're not only going to lick the bosses, but those who suck our blood," he said.
Mr. Minor declared that William Green, white, president of the American Federation of Labor, "has double crossed the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters; Mr. (A. Philip) Randolph has made a serious mistake."
Mr. Minor is said to be one of the main pillars of Communism in America and was dismissed, it is reported, from the American Federation of Labor and the Amalgamated Union.

For weeks London has been plastered with placards announcing:
"The Hour Has Come—An Historic Night for England—The Greatest Orator in the World, the Moses of the Black Race, Representing 11,000,000 Members of the World-Wide Negro Improvement Association—More Eloquent Than Demosthones, Clecro and Mark Antony."

White Sailors Let Boy Drown in Hudson
Race prejudice of the most calous and cruel kind was exhibited by white sailors and us men who looked on with a sort of amused indifference while Francis Smith, 14, 9 West 129th street, drowned in the Hudson River, of Riverside Drive, at lotas street, Thursday. While the white men were loiling around on benches in the park a small boy ran from the waterfront, shouting, "A boy is drowning! A boy is drowning out there!" None of the white men paid any attention while the colored youth in the water screamed for help and his cries were drowned beneath the Hudson. The river is being searched for his body, which, probably, an undercurrent has washed out into the bay.
Killed in Row Over Woman
Man Runs From Home and Is Shot Down in West 145th Street
Men may well say that "it's a woman every time" as against the women's well known thrust, "It's a man, every time it's a man," when one considers the numerous masculine deaths that occur during altercations over the feminine sex. The latest one is that of Herbert Stewart, 28, 109 West 144th street, who was shot to death, it is said, over a woman in front of 130 West 145th street early Sunday morning. According to the police the man, who did the shooting, and whose name is being withheld, considered that he had evened the score after Stewart had taken from him his sweetheart, Eleanor Wallace, 212 West 133d street.
The alleged avenger called at Stewart's basement home in company with about five other men, it is said. Stewart ran around the corner to escape them and was shot down on the next street. He died almost instantly. His body was removed to Harlem Hospital by Patrolman Donaldson of the West 135th street station. Detectives Winterhalter and Boyden of the West 135th street station are searching for Stewart's murderer.

Woman Held in Kidnapping Case
Charged With Taking Sister's Child From Guardian
Kidnapping her sister's child it the charge against Mrs. Sarah Dorothy Harrell, 26, 281 Edgecombe avenue, who was arraigned in Heights Court Menday morning before Magistrate McQuade and held in $3,000 ball for the Grand Jury. The complainant was Mrs. Martha Davis 2619 Eighth avenue, who said she is the foster mother of the missing child, six-year-old Ruby Davis.
Mrs. Harrell was represented by Attorney Richard L. Cunningham 1132 St. Nicholas avenue. The child was missing June 2 and Mrs. Harrell was arrested June 6 by Detective Garvey of the West 135th street station, who had been notified by Mrs. Davis. The child's mother is Sadie Whitlock, who is now at Alta vista, Va., preparing to give birth to another child. Mrs. Whitlock is Mrs. Harrell's sister.
In her alldavit, Mrs. Davis stated that Ruby was given to her by Mrs. Whitlock at the time of her birth at a hospital, and that both mother and child lived with her for two weeks thereafter. Mrs. Whitlock disappeared for six years, during which time she raised the child as her own. Mrs. Davis stated, but the support, in February 1981, was Mrs. Whitlock came here and lived with Mrs. Davis until May 31 when she went to Virginia, the testimony revealed.
On Friday, June 1, Mrs. Harrell asked Mrs. Davis' permission to take Ruby out to buy her something and arranged to ring the door bell three times on her return and upon hearing the door lock clock would send Ruby upstairs to Mrs. Davis. This was done and Mrs. Harrell called the next day also to take Ruby to her home to breakfast and arranged to return her in the same manner. But Ruby never came back and Mrs. Davis never heard the bell it was testified.
This was on June 2 and for three days Mrs. Davis tried to get in touch with Mrs. Harrell, but she could not be seen, it is said. Then Mrs. Harrell was arrested and charged with kidnapping, which she denies.
In the complainant's testimony Mrs. Harrell is said to have stated that Ruby was not being properly cared for. The police believe that Mrs. Harrell has the child secreted somewhere.

SEVEN red stripes, six white stripes and a circle of thirteen stars on a blue background—that's the flag your country adopted on June 14, 1777. To Betsy Ross goes the credit for the design. The stripes were symbolic of blood shed on clean snow during the Revolutionary War; the stars represented the number of American colonies.
After Kentucky and Vermont were admitted to the union, in 1791 and 1792 respectively, the stars and stripes were each increased to fifteen. In 1818, however, the original number of stripes was restored, and each time a new state was added to the group it was represented by a star and not by a stripe. Today we have thirteen stripes and forty-eight stars.
Yes, 151 years ago this symbol of liberty, justice and equal opportunity to all was adopted. To this flag you owe loyalty, respect and love.

Shaky Feeling
Severe Headaches
Miss Theresa M. Denning,
807 Nelson St., Knoxville,
Tenn., (picture above) says:
"I suffered quite a bit
with weakness, and at times
would have severe head-
aches and would have to go
to bed. My limbs seemed to
draw, and I felt so weak
and shaky. This was just
before I graduated, and I
didn't want to lose any time
in school. I was listless and
tired all the time.
Cardui was recomme-
ded. After the first bottle I
felt better, but I wasn't
willing to quit then. I took
another and there was a
great difference in my feel-
ing. I do not suffer now
with headache—in fact, I
feel well."
Try Cardui for yourills.

The Festive Coopanut Touch
Nothing can give such a party touch to cakes, pies and puddings as cocoanut, Southern style. Cocoanut just seems to mean festivities, especially in June, the month of weddings, commencements and church suppers, when lovely white decorations are so typical of the season, on the bride's table, for the high school banquet, or at the church supper.
The cake thickly covered with soft, white cocoanut is ideal for decorating and garnishing. Even the special method used in packing cocoanut enables it to retain all the natural flavor of a freshly opened coconut.

Dare-Devil Young Motorcycle Ace to Head for the Cold

Breaking Run
Witllam 7. Davis, young colored ace, of 75 West 14ist Street, who
was Inst year termed ‘The Lindy of tho ground," plans to again repeat one
of his famous feats of cross-country eycling. He plans this year to make
the trip from New York to Sydney, Cape Breton Island, Canada, and
will leave from 135th stroct and Seventh avenuo, Sunday morning, between
9 and.10 o'clock. .
Young Davis holda the record run of 48 hours trom New York to
Hallfax, Nova Scotia. He {s a student of the college and will bo accom:
panied on his trip by John L. McKinley, another student of City College,
formerly of Richmond, Va.
Davis {s not a novice at cross-country cycling, having made the trip
from New York to Los Angeles, a distance of 3,700 miles, {n 11 days, in

Davis is also a student of flying

WILLIAM T. DAVIS Will Hit the Trail of the Canadian
Lonesome Pines From rasth Street and Seventh Avenue the
Coming Sunday Morning on His High Powered “Indian
Chief.”
“Sunny” Jim and Joe Walcott
DURING tho past few years, especially since the relgn of Jack Dempsey,
we have heatd much regarding the “xiller* instinct, So much, in
fact, that {t would almost load us to belleve a fighter is doomed to
fallure unless he displays this trait,
John L. Sullivan, McGovern, Ketehel and Dempsey were considered
the most outstanding exponenta of this art. Thelr slashing offense was
their defense and the fury of thelr attack carrted them to victory over
opponents more skilled in ringeraft than themselves,
Many of the game's greatest performers, however, were of an entirely
altterent temperament, and while they possibly did not score their wins
as quickly, their work was equally effective.
Bob Fitzsimmons, Joe Choyinsk!, Peter Maher, Tommy Ryan, Benny
Leonard, Johnny Kilbane, Mike Gibbons and Packey MeFarland all rank
high and were anything but killers.
Possibly the fact that “Sunny” Jim Willlams weara o perpetual smile
in the ring and out has caused many folks to wonder if 8 boxer can be
just as effective or serious without the usual determined look or habitual
Bcoysl,
‘Avnen “Sunny” first went to Australla, where be took part tn some
thirty-tive battles fn a course of two yoars, the folka were at first under
the impression he was too good-natured and polite to take the rough and
ready opposttton at hand. However, onco Inside the hemp, Williams
convinced them the slogan, “Service with a smile,” was originated by
him. Ho took the husky, hard-hitting and rough customers {a hand and
‘without violating the rules of the game, soon brought them from a gallop
down to a slow canter.
Williams, upon. his arrival in this country, gave ‘Lou Bogash a glove:
massago in the Garden, won every round against Tony Ross, scored a
keyo over Billy Vidabeck and recently was awarded a draw with Willie
Henry {n the Galveston light heavy's home town.
Jack McVey emphatically refused to meet Williams for the colored
middleweight title, although he lays claim to same.
‘Willlams has offered to fight Mickey Walker, champlon of that class,
for nothing, as a tribute to the memory of his late stable mate, Tiger
Flowers.
Evidently what Williams, Leonard, Mandell, Tunney and others lack
in the killer spirit they make up for in skill and sportsmanship,
Who Was the Hardest Hitter?
Oe of the things which keeps the boxing game alive is the age-old
argument regarding the prowess of tho boxers, Who was the most
scientific, who was the greatest ring general, toughest and so on. Not
that any of these points have ever boen definitely settled or ever will be,
but they certainly add zest to many sporting occasions and turn a some-
times drab evening into a seething turmoil.
But wo havo serfous doubt if any quostion {s ever broached as often
as the following: who was the greatest hitter of all Ume? Now wo aro
on a subject that will bring forth the wisdom of the unlverse.
"Starting with John L. Sullivan, for before that the game was a com:
bination of boxing and wrestling, many will say that the Boston boy
Was the superior of them all. Others wil] contond that Peter Mahor,
While known to have a little china tn his chin, could belt with the best
of them. Many will name Fitzsimmons as the master knockout and
again we will hear of Terry McGcvern, Aurelio Lierrara, Stanley Ketchal,
Sam Langford and the colorful Jack Dempsoy, not ‘overlooking Geo.
‘Chaney,
But, in spenking of real stmon pure hitting, In giving away welsht
and stili bringing them down fn a shapeless inaes, Inert und usually face
forward, did any of them ever equal Joe Walcott, the aquatty little black
man from Barbados?
If you doubt this assertion, look back through the record of this
mighty midget, who never weighed mors than 145 pounds, and who
fought and knocked out a host of the best fighters of his time, not only in
‘Ais own class, but up to and Including the heavyweights,
After an active ring career that extended over a period of almost
twenty years, Joe drifted from ono means of making an honest Ilving to
another.
The life and death of “Tiger” Flowers made a profound impresston
on Walcott and somo time ago he became an actlve church worker, who
takes his religion seriously and abldes by the Golden Rule.
Recently Walk Miller, who has established a health farm at ‘Rings:
ton, N. ¥.. where he has Inatalled cemplete necommodations for the de-
veloping and training of fighters, was in search of someone to school the
youngsters in hitting. a
The religious assoctations of Walcott appealed very strongly to Miller
and upor Jcoking him vp, salifactory arrangemonts were made and now
Mt looks as though Joe’ hns a ifetima Job.
The fact that Miller has put back many thousands of dollars into,
the fight game by Investing {t in his farm makes him one of the few
who ever invested any capital ir the game in which they have made
fortunes. His process of developing youngsters and then springing them
fon the public has been sensationally successful. Clyde Hull, Tommy
Jones, Manuel! Quintero are among the Intest who rose to a Rpot in the sun.
Walcott spends the day in teaching the youngsters the correct way
to hit, and, Incidentally, couches the more seasoned veterans In the art
of improving thetr punching. For hours at a time ho will patiently watch
every move of a pupil, advising, encouraging and endeavoring to inatlll
in him tho knack of short and snappy punching, the kind ot blows that
used fo travel an unbolievably brief distance and accomplish such antound.

Around Our “City of Churches”
A FDW dass ago It was announced that Ansistant Postmaster ot0e
Cleary, whito, was to be given a dinner and testimonial tor his forty
years of service ia the post office, This announcement came shortly after
the great testimonial to George E, Wibecan by prominent colored and
white citizens at the Academy of Music. Following this 1t was announced
that Mr. Cleary, who entered the service in 1958, the same thine that Mr.
Wibecan did, was to recelve an Increase In salary. Also thirty-one othor
einployees were to Tecotve promotions and increases. Mr. Wibecan, up.to
About two years ago, Was a epecial clerk. He has beon a foreman since
then. From all records {t appears that Mr, Wibecan has surpassed Mr.
Cleary tn education and has been in the service just as long and has
deen Just as efflcfent. ©
“The question arlses—Has Mr. Wibocan boen made to sutfer by the
Republican party becausé of his constant fighting for equal rights for
Negroes?
"The reason the writer raises this question {s that on May ® when
everyone was lauding Mr. Wibecan, County Leader Jacob A. Livingston
stated that while {t was nice to praise the guest of honor {t was also
{fitting and proper that he be told of some of his wenkuosses. He stated
that somte of our friends praise us and then socretly talk of our defects.
Mr. Livingston stated that Mr. Wibecan had suftered because al “hols
overpositive” and “because he liad unnecessarily made enemies fn his
overzealousnoss in fighting the cauge of others while neglecting bis own
cause.” Hence, 1t is fair to assume that Mr. Livingston was saying to
Mr. Wibecan’s face as a friend what others had sald belind his back.
Whilo Mr. Livingston may have appoared ovortrank, the writer belteves
that had Mr. Wibecan been selfish and only sought to advance his own
enuso he Would have tho distinction of belng Brooklyn's’ firat ‘Nexro
Assistant Postmaster. Instead of that he has fought the cause of the
‘Negro in reason and out of season.
‘While ft {3 agalust postal regulations to be overactive in yolltes, tt ts
(air (o mention that Mz, Cleary, who entered the rervice the samo time
that Mr. Wibecan did, has alwayn heen an organization Democrat. In
1913 when the present County Clerk, Willlam B. Kelly, was appointed
Postmaster by President Wyison, Mr. Cleary was n carrier. Soon he was
made an examiner.. Next he was made an Assistant Fostmarter, and dur-
ing the period hetweon the death of the Democratle Postmaster, Mr.
Burton, and the apnolutment of Mr. Firinin, the Republican Postmaster,
Mr. Cleary acted as Postmaster.
Why fo ft that Mtr. Wibeen has not had # grenter reward under his
party?
‘Tho answer seoms to be (hat NG unselfishly fought for others while
neglecting his own interests. Ho has one solace, and that fs that he has
rondered years of roal sorvice a8 a Nogro citizen, lived a clean life and
hag made a name that he and hia children can be proud of.

Very Simple
CITIZENS of Detroit cannot seem to understand just why anyone would want to blow up a church and they are, consequently, surprised at the recent bombing of the $60,000 Mother Zion Church in that city. Lacking other explanations we offer the suggestion that the hoodlums probably did it to see what sixty thousand "hollied" dollars would look like in the air.
DRAMA
"Dream of Queen Esther" presented at Bethel
Most romantic was the presentation of "A Dream of Queen Esther," a dramatic playlet in three acts, by the drama classes of the Muses Deborah M. Lowe, Marissa Harris and Muriel Spencer. The presentation was sponsored by the dramatic production of the Young People's Lyceum of Bethel A. M. E. Church and was presented in the auditorium of the church Thursday evening. The attendance was close to 600. The cast of characters included J. Milton Shrim, Bette Parish, David Washington, Ruth Payne, Carmena Tobit, Leola Baines and Muriel Stovell. Also Marie Nesbelt, Annette Kackett, Anna Green, Lucy Jones, Nov Tobit, Berry DeSoto, Sarah Parish, Sarah Ford, Florence Pfiler and Sarah Groon, Miss Anna Sanders was the accompanist.

Granted that correct singing is the interpretation of an intelligently composed piece of music through the precise co-ordination of intelligence, instinctive artistry and a highly cultivated, beautiful and refined voice, does the Negro concert-goer receive "Taking my stand with the theorists who declare that he does not, I will endeavor now and herein to prove that his cultural taste for appreciation of the things in life that are beautiful and artistic is dormant. It has been emphasized succinctly time and again by white musicians and again by white musicians. Negro cannot satisfy his innate desires with anything that falls short of blare and jazz.
Although conceding that the deficiency may be viewed in the light of a pathetic comedy, it is my belief that the Nordic conclusion annot this question is decidedly erratic. What has been construed as the heyday of appreciative saturation is only a wretched vell that needs only a wallpaper of unfortunate depth emblematic of our natural desires little understood by the people of other races.
The Pro and Con
One hundred and seventy thousand Negroes are said to be residing in Harlem, and yet, whenever a musician desires to give a recital, if he or she wishes to enjoy an audience, decent proportions, friends must be present around the doors of the hall or auditorium in which the concert is to be given and sell tickets, presumably, to persons who have made plans to attend the function.
This condition of affairs has been the puzzle and conjecture of the Negro, the Negro, and it is, perhaps, the reason why so many white musicians of ordinary ability, who so far have failed to achieve eminence among their own group, come to Harlem and with surprising facility show the Negro musician a place whereby he or she can much peril 'will entitle him to the right of giving a recital in Harlem.
The Negro's philosophy is rather morose when he can sit down and listen to such argument. However he does listen, and in the end the white man gets all the money he can and departs for other conquests. There can be no denial that the Negro is literally, yells for cooperative eximentation on the part of the Negro musician and public.
Proposed Solution
The fault does not rest wholly with the concert-goer. He, also, has to content with the number of user-good singers and almost-perfect musicians who charge the public fabulous prices to be heard in rehearsal each season. On the other hand, the concert-planer can complain that they cannot obtain high money to pay for cultivation of the natural talent that they already possess.
The problem is a difficult one for solution and becomes more depressing when it is considered that church organists in Harlem, with one or two exceptions, get less than $30 per month for their combined services as organists and choir members and are expected to contribute their services free on the occasion of weddings, funerals, etc.
Publicity will undoubtedly help. The Negro musician has been rather modest in keeping his ability a secret; but what he really needs is more co-operation between himself and his brother musician. There is no reason why Harlem should not have an artist's guild of its own that would, in reality, discover, cultivate and foster the raw talent that is in his interest. There is no reason why Harlem should not enjoy a competitive contest of all church patrons at least once each season. There is no reason why there should not be an association of music patrons who would co-operate in purchasing a book of tickets to a given number of concerts which may be given—but not necessarily—in a designated place.

A.K.A. Sorority Gives Fifth Scholarship Before 115 H. S. Girls at Y.W.C.A.
"What Does High School Mean to Us?" was discussed at length by more than 115 high school girls in the auditorium club rooms and the Blue Dining Room of the West 137th street branch of the Y.W.C.A. Saturday afternoon. The occasion was the annual observance of Vocational Guidance Week, the national program of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, sponsored by the two local chapters, Tau Omega and Lambda. Mrs. Cecelia C. Saunders, executive secretary of the "Y," made a welcome address to the group and she called it "By-Products."
In order that systematic results might be obtained at the conference Mrs. Portia Wiley-Nickens, chair, the conference committee, had the general topic discussed from the point of view of what high school has to offer girls and what high school suggests that students should do to get the most out of it.
Fifth Scholarship Awarded
At the banquet which followed the conference, Miss Carmen Jones, 15, a Hunter College freshman, was presented the sorority's fifth scholarship award of $150 for her excellent high school record. She was named the late Inshela Jones of Barbados, B. W. L., and has been in this country five years. Miss Jones, who is majoring in mathematics, lives with her aunt, Miss Helen Bailen, at 212. Fifth avenue. The other scholarship winners are Misss Eiffenbauer Blane, Misss Elisabeth Blane, Miss Ida Pickens of Smith College, Bobie Tobias of Barnard College.
What High School Offers
The girls agreed that high school offered opportunity for friendships, a development of personality and advantages for leisure time.
Miss Evelyn Brown of Wadleigh is the student who led the "Friendship" group, which was supervised by Mrs. Kappa, a graduate of Columbia, holder of a Phi Heta Kappa key and a public school teacher.
Miss Ivy DesPortes, also of Wadleigh, led the "Personality" group, supervised by Mrs. Ann Cox Greene, teacher in Junior High School No. 181.
Misses Marlery Gilbert of Julia Richman and Beryl Flipzpatrick of George Washington led the "Leisure Time" group, supervised by Miss Ethel McGhee, social service worker, and Miss Melva Price, a teacher of Latin, at Wadleigh.
What High School Suggests
In order that students may get the most out of a high school career, they must choose the school and the courses they want, and also to work.
Miss Madeline McGhee, a graduate of Julla Richman, led the "School and Course" group, supervised by Isa M. Gittens, a teacher of Latin at the James Monroe High School.
Miss Adele Glassow of George Washington led the "Work" group supervised by Miss Florence Lee Thomas, basilies of Trau Omega and Miss Martha P. Palsain in Junior High School No. 149.
Mrs. McDougald Gives
Summary
Mrs. Elsie McDougall, assistant principal of Public School No. 90, 147th street and Eldight avenue, and an honorary member of the sorority, summerized the findings of the conference.
Banquet in Blue Room
A "rah rah" time was had by those who attendd the conference in the Bue Dining Room of the Y. W. C. A. from 6:30 to 8:30. Yella, school songs, speeches and a hearty meal were the features of the banquet. The guests wore crepe paper hats in the colors of their various high schools. Miss Olivey Moe Thomas, a teacher in Public School No. 119 instructed the girls how to make the caps.

"College Waste of Time for Many"
NASHVILLE, June 11.—John D. Hockefeller Jr. expressed the opinion in a commencement address at Fisk University that large numbers of boys and girls who rush off to the colleges would in all probability make more of their lives if they went into some useful occupation in their home towns.
"For, after all," he said, "just spending so many years in school or college does not necessarily mean one has gotten an education. On the contrary, during that period one may simply have formed habits of indulence, acquired and unwarranted sense of superiority or become dissatisfied with the circumstances and environment in which one's lot is cast and in which one is fitted by natural endowment to live."
Education. Mr. Rockefeller believed, should fit one to lead a useful, well-rounded life, but he thought it failed of its full purpose unless it fits the individual to live such a life and the environment in which he finds himself.
"It is easy to say how useful and well-rounded a life we would live if we were somewhere else," he said.
"But education's problem is to fit us to live that kind of life where we are, wherever our lot is cost."
Mr. Rockefeller gave the following list of what he considered not to be the kind of education: To crum the mind with facts and figures; to make shrewd lawyers whose chief aim is to make money; to turn out doctors who reckon their success in dollars; to train teachers who think of their profession simply as a way of making a living; to fit men for a business; to make sharp, slick, shady; to make misanthropic and agriculturists whose interest ceases in ever shorter hours, maximum pay, minimum output.
Dr. George E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on the Church and Race Relations, Federal Council of Churches, gave the baccalaureate address to the graduating class on Sunday and the address to the alumni association on Monday night.

Children who are musically inclined may be inspired by the fact that Raymond Waters, eight years old, who has studied violin playing for only two years, eliminated one hundred other contestants between the ages of eight and ten during the Music Week Association, and won the only prize, a gold medal, for his efforts.
There was no limit to the talent of the contestants. Any child who could play an instrument or sing was eligible.

Questions and Answers
By EGYPSY ANN
Has a Woman the
Right to Propose?
A woman has the right to do a lot
of things, but just let her try and
do 'em.
There's nothing to stop her from
proposing. There's likewise nothing
to stop her from getting a refusal.
The sad part of it is that most women
haven't sense enough to know
what to expect.
Of course, the man's not going to
say right out and out: "Woman, get
three hence; 'I'll have none of thee!'
Never, not that! He's not so dumb.
There'll be, first, the financial situation, of course. And, then, these's YOU to be taken into consideration. YOU wouldn't be taught YOU would be taught license, as a flag of freedom. YOU wouldn't want to be tied down. YOU'd the life of him and want other men. Oh, YOU'D be another Helen of Troy with your sultors.
Then, of course, there's the possibility that you don't know your own mind; you just imagine that you do. You don't really know what it's all about.
After all, it's not just a question of right. Many a woman has the right to be that's concerned. The question is, "Do you stand any greater chance of marrying by asking than you do by being apparently indifferent?"
Dear Egyptsy Ann:
I have been going with a young man for three years. Our relationship has been that of man and wife, although we do not live together. He has never asked me to marry him. Several times we've talked over the matter, but financial conditions are a great drawback.
I love him and I believe that he loves me, but I can't feel sure of him—and I'm getting any younger. I'll be 30.
Should I ask him to marry me, regardless of fact that we haven't any money? Have I the right to ask him? Don't you think that he'd ask me if he really cared?
Hoping you'll answer immediately.
WORRIED.
Dear "Worried":
Taking your last question first, I've this to say: Evidently, he doesn't think it necessary to ask you. You've given yourself to him when the vowel vow. He sees no need to rush.
You have the right to ask him, as he has asked you the equivalent. In fact, it looks like you have to do the asking. The results I certainly can't劝你 for. Leave it to the next one to think of marriage. It's up to a woman to think of herself and her own protection.
I'm afraid that the financial question prevents far too many people from marrying. Why not try to talk together and have a common goal?
Ask him, if you want to, but expect any answer.

Will Fight the Community Idea
Rockville Center Pastors Opposed to Conbining in Civic Association
ROCKVILLE CENTER, June 11.
—The movement to organize a civic association of colored residents to better the general conditions here, as a result of the recent survey made by Mrs. Lottie Taylor, of Westbury, under the auspices of the American Red Cross Society of Nassau County, will be discussed at a public meeting of the colored rests on June 15.
Mrs. Taylor will, it is said, give the same report as at the Exchange Club. Others are invited to participate. In include the mayor Richard and the Rev. Alex Johnson, duly secretary, of the Nassau County Red Cross organization, and the community Church has been suggested. Pastor Van Camper, of the A. M. E. Church, states that the Community House idea was tried several years ago to promote it. Prominent residents and officials, who would have enhanced the plan, abandoned it because of the opposition of the residents. There is also considerable opposition to the Community Church Idea. The three pastors, the Reva. Banks of the Second Baptist Church, the heart of St. Paul's, and St. Paul's A. M. E. Churches, with the majority of the members are against it. The three pastors, whose dock is the largest, declares his church is the best financially, the oldest and should not lose its identity. Furthermore, he says, the other congregations are entitled to their inheritance.
Pastor Von Camper says his denomination, the African M. E. Church, has colored Protestants in the Northern States and many in the Southern States. He said he is opposed to colored Community Church proposition. Pastor Banks asserts that the three churches in the colored section of the state have the residents and that perhaps one large church would be better, but he would not favor the abandonment of the survey church. The survey church shows there are about 500 residents in the colored section with a total membership in the three churches of the state is less than half that number.

Failure of Dr. Jones to Spell Biblical Word in Open Court Raises Doubt in Lawyer's Mind During Bigamy Trial
Rufus L. Perry, the noted criminal lawyer, wants the District Attorney to investigate and learn if the Rev. Charles M. Jones of 635 Hickerman street is an ordained Baptist preacher.

Mr. Jones has from time to time been active in washing and express business, and has from time to time been active in teaching as a witness in the case of Robert Street, 37, of 1773 Pacific street, who was convicted Wednesday of bigamy by a jury before County Judge Nova. His conviction was due to the testimony of Dr. Jones, who stated that he had married Street and Miss Elma Carter in 1916. Elva Middleton Street stated that he married her last February. When Dr. Jones got on the witness stand he proceeded to make himself a home, but soon lost his poise when Counsellor Perry asked him if he was married to his prime. The Rev. Mr. Jones did not want to answer this question direct, but Perry stated that he wanted yes or so for an answer. He answered yes.

Sandy Keeps 'Em In Good Humor
And the Drama Gives 'Em the Thrills at the Alhambra
Life as it's lived among the gangsters of New York's Nest. Side is seen in polished kitchen, this woman's drama at the Alhambra.
Sensation follows sensation as the plots of these outlaws of a great city unfold. How suspicion of murder is fixed on an innocent youth and how he is cleverly saved from the electric chair is all revealed in this splendidly acted play. "Fly" Grogan and Edward Thompson as "Tip" O'Nell is the opposing gang leaders, backed up by their pals, all true Hell's Kitchen types.
Fannia Laine, as Patricia Bradley, of those fine girls who sometimes develop amid discouraging surroundings, plays with sincerity and frankness, like Gwynne, a soon-to-be of the "gold-ager" type, captured aplause. The part of Patricia's mother is made important by Susie Sutton.
George Wiltshire is a desperate gangster and Arthur T. Ray a sleepy one, but a loyal friend. Ted Blackman is Patricia a father, a former bartender who knows no other way to be an easy in his Ninth avenue flat, where the action takes place.
The audience followed "Itell's Kitchen" with tense interest to its startling finish and then broke into prolonged applause.
Sandy Burns and the company of co-workers across the sofa and sojourn on the "Shores of Honolulu" which is the title of the musical comedy this week.
Apus Brooks, Russell Lee, Daisy Wright and others make the voyage. They encounter fascinating Hawaiian girls in grass skirts, especially Mabel Kidney, Amanda Randolph, Laroma Bradley and Euda and—and then a whole stage-full applause.
The jungle is penetrated and all sorts of surprises turn up. Sandy becomes more and more discouraged, in his comical way. Apus, who has traveled half way around the world in search of a pair of his trousers that have disappeared, never does recover them. The indulgence of audience Wednesday has tread in store in one of the most unique programs yet staged by the Alhambra Theatre. Buffalo Bill, Jr., keeps the photoplay bill interesting in "The Valley of Haunted Men."
"Doug" Fairbanks in "The Gaucho" Also at Lafayette This Week
What is undoubtedly one of the finest reviews that Clarence Robinson has ever produced opened a week's engagement at the Latayette Theatre yesterday. With a cast in including some of the most popular entertainers in the colored matrical fraternity, with one of the best known of our jazz bands, and with scenery and costumes gorgeous all most beyond description, the revue is one of the finest that peared on a local stage in months. The cast is composed of some the entertainers who were with "Keep Shuttin'" during its run on Broadway—Honey Brown, Margaret Lee, and the "Keep Shuttin'" chorus. To these have been added *Derkson and Cassusy*, Billy Mack, George Reynolds, George Willama and "Scrapy" and *Evelyn* the pianist, all enlisted by Pess Williams' Royal Finish Theatre, which has been furnishing the music at the Savoy Ballroom for quite some time.
The feature picture for the week is Douglas Fairbanks' latest picture, "The Gaucho." Critics are unanimous in describing the Gaucho as the creator of the outlaw reductions. It is the story of a outlaw who contracts "The Blues Doom." In his entrusts to rid himself of this disease, he comes across a miracle girl who has healed others of the disease. When the sacred shrine of the outlaw threatened, he gathers his outlaw together and in the most romantic scenes that have ever been filmed saves the sacred shrine and wins the heart of the girl. There were times about the showing of the picture. The audience was spellbound. There were other times when they broke out into wild laughter and enthusiastic applause, both the revue and picture combine to give the Lafayette another "one of the few which can rarely, if ever, be found in any other theatre at prices many times those charged at the Lafayette.
"The Fatal Wedding" at The Alhambra Next Week
"The Fatal Wedding," a heart-trobb drama, and the most famous of all the plays penned by Theodore Kremer, is in rehearsal for next week at the Alhambra Theatre. This drama is in several scenes, each with a cheap Second avenue flat with a chapel at the front of Riverside Drive. The cast is augmented, as there are more characters in "The Fatal Wedding" than in any play so far produced by the Alhambra group.
"Hello, Sue!" will be the musical comedy attraction, with Sandy Burke and her crew. Some of the costumes already used for the girls are murvels of richness and novelty.
Last week several of the staff of the Theatre child came up to harlem from downtown and indicated a free interest in the triple program provided by the photoy feature to start Monday has Mac Husch and Huntley Gordon in "The Truthful Slo."

The Bed as an Institution
THE almost licentious wiggling which held good in Harlem theatres up to a few months ago has apparently fallen into the discard, and our brilliant producers of that form of entertainment, known as the revue, are giving us what a wag opined has now become an institution at the Lafayette Theatre, and that is that most necessary of present day piece of furniture known as the bed.
For the benefit of the hinterland and the hicks with a desire to come in and make a showing in the biggest of all hick towns, we send out the information that the bed has become a most necessary part of the revue at the house, which prides itself on being the place which puts the stamp of approval on shows going into the sticks to educate yokolry, the off-shoots of which can be found in at least two of our emporiums of mirth and laughter.
By easy stages the bed has been forcing out the delightful wiggling which thousands besides tired business men have been regaled with, but when such an estimable and promising young producer as Clarence Robinson is forced to use this much necessary, but herefore neglected article, it is time to sit up and take notice. Last week it was Gertrude Saunders and Billy Mitchell who abbreviated for us the name of a former Broadway production and gave us only bedroom without parlor and bath, and this week our own Clarence has again dragged the old bed on and in the same spot, so that this childlike race of which we are perhaps the most childish member can find fun, relaxation and perhaps uncontrollable mirth.
That man who will dare to rise and remark that we are puritanical in our ideas will hastily he howled down by an enraged host of witnesses to the contrary, but we do reserve the right to wonder at the tendency to find amusement only in what used to be the most sacred part or a Christian domicile. We are of the opinion that the talent of Miss Gertrude Saunders is worthy of more consideration even at the hands of producers who must cater (they think so anyhow), to gatherlings which, we particularly note, fail to go into hysteria at this part of a revue offering which bids fair to become hackneyed almost before it gets a good hold on the yokels.
As we are groping in the dark seeking intelligence and light on the productions of what they sometimes tell us must be considered art, won't some good reader explain for our refification just why the bed and the many quibs surrounding it should be funny? We want to know, so that we can record with the intelligence necessary for the indulgent reader to understand, if undraped wigging is bed for our morals, just how does the bedroom scenes we have been witnessing improve upon the condition of our stage. Note well that we are not taking exception, but simply seeking light when one revue after the other insists upon introducing this tidbit for an appetite still to be whotted.
A few weeks ago the dramatic playlets eased out of the Lincoln Theater and in extenuation we have been told that Mrs. Downs did not find the going any too smooth. Since the bed has apparently come to stay and houses have been rather slack commencing the middle of the week at the Lincoln, perhaps a bed or two will help to jazz things up a bit. If a bed will improve on such a revue as we witnessed at the Lincoln last week, then for the sake of goodness bring on the bed and let us look wise and console ourselves with the thought that this is a new day and times have changed since the war, whether for better or worse matter not.

Many Entries For Big Marathon
Endurance Dance Contest at Manhattan Casino Sunday Night
What promises to be an event of great interest in the amusement world will take place at the New Manhattan Casino next Sunday night, June 17, at 9 o'clock, when the inaugural coronaries of the first World's Championship Colored Endurance Contest get under way. Numerous social, political and theatrical celebrities have been recruited to act as judges and archers of John Smith's famous orchestra they will lead the parade of dancing couples who will compete. To date five couples have already declared their intentions of entering the contest, but more than likely this list will be considerably increased by the time the opening is at hand, for entry blanks are still available at Manhattan Casino and at Mrs. G. Diamond's, 2296 Seventh avenue. These entry blanks are free to apply. A kind is made of the couples wishing to enter, and the only requirement is an ability to dance and endure.
At his office yesterday, John Lazaro, managing director of the contest, stated that he had received applications from couples in Pittsburgh, Pa.; Newark, N. J.; Bloomfield, N. J.; Flushing, L. I.; Jamaica, L. I.; Bronx, Harlem, Baltimore, Md., and Washington, D. C. All of these have been accepted, for the contest is open to all comers.
More than ordinary interest attaches to this dancing marathon, since it is an effort of the colored people, who have proven themselves physically superior in nearly all sports and tests of endurance, influence the white couples who are now competing at Madison Square Garden. The dancing contest is regarded as the greatest test of human strength yet devised, and when nearly 100 couples enter upon the dance floor of Manhattan Casino they will be prepared to pit their all against each other. Fame, a fortune of $100, and a possible vaudeville award, the couple who outdance all the others, while cash prizes ranging from $500 to $50 will be the reward of those who finish close behind them.
Who'll Be the Nelson Beauty?
Girl
Who is the greatest beauty of the race? That's a very large question, and an effort is being made to find out.
It started with the Nelsons of Richmond, Va. They are the makers, and have been for twenty years so of, Nelsons hair dressing.
Some months ago they announced in The Amsterdam News and other newspapers throughout the country a series of prizes for beauties. The Nelsons asked the attractive girls everywhere to send in their photographs.
The portraits began to come in by the score, and then by the hundreds. The Nelsons asked a noted artist, C. C. Beall, to aid in selecting and judging the beauties.
Then they sought the help of the Alhambra Theatre folks, who were arranging contestants should be brought to New York for a final judgment on the Alhambra stage.
These selected beauties are to

Straine and His "Chocolate Scandals" Here Next Week
After several years of absence, Doc Straine and his company of entertainers will appear at the Lafayette Theatre in "Chocolate Scandals," a revue in which this company is said to have scored hits in some of the largest theatres from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. Doc Straine has promised a cast with this show, "Chocolate Scandals," which includes Sam Russell (Bilo), Ukulele Bob Williams, Helen Stokes, Cooper and Thomas, Grant and Wilson, the Sunset Four and other noted entertainers.
The*feature picture for the week will be the most powerful underworld melodrama of the year—"The Noose," starring Richard Barthelness. This is a story of a young boy who shoots a man and comes within the shadow of the gallows in order to save his mother's good health. It was acclaimed by critics or rather than any of the underworld melodramas which have recently found favor with theatre-going audiences.
Blue Bird Revue Hits
The ninth annual pre-vacation entertainment and dance of the Blue Bird Club, at the Imperial Elks Auditorium, Friday evening took place. The auditorium was crowded to capacity.
The theatrical revue went over great. The Doll Dance" by Loatha Mayers and Katherine Thompson, was very amusing. Katie kins performed a pantomime of "Blue Bird Club Activities." With helmina Gray, by participating in at least four group games, played a leading part.
Miss Isabelle Rhodes and her "Moonlight Serenaders" furnished music which, to express it modestly, rivaled that produced by some of the best orchestras in Harlem.
Various social clubs, including "The Daughters," "La Casa del Diablo," a Spanish Club, by their presence helped to make this affair a great success.

"There was a time when my health was not so good," says Mr. Miles Hopkins, of Catlettsburg, Ky. "I suffered a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull.
"I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for

so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison.
"I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O. K. again.

Waif Wins Prize; Guardian Hurt
Twenty-four hours after William Truxon had rejoiced because his foster son had received second prize in the Caldwell baby parade, last Wednesday, over many white contestants, he was lying between life and death in Mountainside Hospital, Montclair, after stepping in front of a trophy car.
Truxon, nearly 60, has lived in Caldwell for a number of years. He is a junior of the Citizens' National Bank and general handy man for many of the wealthy families.
Three years ago, while walking through Grover Cleveland Park in Caldwell, he heard an infant cry, and after a search found a baby.
After notifying the police, and Children's Society, he took the baby home. After a fittle search for the child's parents, Truxon was given custody of it.
Wednesday, at the annual Caldwell baby parade, little William rode in a float entitled "Mighty Lak a Rose." He was awarded second prize.
Thursday, as he was acknowledging congratulations, about 6:30, on his way home to his wife and little one, Truxon stepped in front of a street car and sustained a fractured skull.

BOWMAN, Mary—In loving memory of my dear mother, Mary Bowman, who departed this life June 18, 1927.

That never did nor never can.
Forget you, mother, dear.

Toward the heavens.

He was yours to take away.

WHAT PUBLIC OPINION?
THE BROTHERHOOD of Sleeping Car Porters was wise in calling off its strike, which was scheduled for last Friday. It would have put the porters in a disadvantageous position to strike at such a time as this, when unemployment is widespread. So far William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, upon whose advice the porters are said to have acted, was right. But when he said that public opinion is not in favor of the demands of the Brotherhood he was wrong.
WHEN MEN have to work for 330 hours a month for $72.50 and such chance tips as they can pick up, can Mr. Green rightly say that the public does not sympathize with their demand for better pay? Long ago the public decided overwhelmingly for the eight-hour day, and the porters' day averages at least eleven hours. If the hours cannot be shortened the pay can be raised. Wherever the public knows the conditions it sides with the porters. By "public opinions" does Mr. Green mean the opinion of the American Federation of Labor?

KING SOLOMON HIMSELF, with all this wisdom, would have found it hard to solve the question brought up by John D. Rockefeller Jr. in his address to the graduating class of Fisk University. Mr. Rockefeller said that many young people who go to college would have been far better off if they had stayed at home. He said that a few years of residence at college does not necessarily mean that one has got an education; that at college one may simply form habits of indolence, acquire an unwarranted sense of superiority or become dissatisfied with the circumstances and environment in which one's lot is cast and in which one is fitted by natural endowment to live.
ALL THIS is true enough, for any college could do better work if it were not overcrowded by those who should not be there. But it does not solve the question of who should go to college and who should stay at home. If we could know in advance just where our future lot is to be cast, such knowledge would help us decide not only the college question, but others far more important."
THE DISSATISFACTION with circumstances and environment which Mr. Rockefeller deplores has caused the world's greatest achievements. If Lincoln had not been dissatisfied he would have remzined a rail-splitter, Edison would have kept on selling candy on a railroad train, and Napoleon would have been a sub-lieutenant all his life.
GOVERNMENT WIRE TAPPING
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, by the close margin of five to four, holds that wire tapping, when practised by Government officials, is legal in obtaining evidence in Prohibition cases. Justice Holmes, dissenting, calls wire tapping an ignoble part for the Government to play in detecting crime. The dissenting Justices maintain that wire tapping violates the search and seizure clause of the Constitution.
According to former Secret Service Agent Flynn, wire tapping by Government officers is nothing new. He says that for two years before this country entered the World War the telephone wires of the German and the Austrian Embassies at Washington were tapped, and the resulting information turned over to the Secretary of State. Not only secrets of state, but all other private intrigues of the German and Austrian diplomats were thus revealed to the Government. The obvious excuse is that in a time of national danger the Government is justified in using any means to protect itself.
IN TIME OF PEACE, however, such practices are somewhat alarming to American citizens. Wire tapping by private agencies has been etigmatized as a crime, and it is disquieting to see the Government resorting to methods classed as criminal. If they be continued, no man can be sure that his business or personal affairs are not being listened to. History belies the claim that such methods would always be used for the strict ends of justice and never abused. As in mediaeval France, where the king's agents had the right to intercept and open the private correspondence of the king's subjects, such power has always been abused.
Heartless Injustice
By ROBERT QUILLEN,
in the Washington Post.
A black man who had done no
wrong worked under guard from
early morning until night and
sleep on a hard coat behind bars.
As compensation for his labor he
received three unpatatable meals
each day.
His heart ached for liberty. He
yearned for the sight of green
fields, for the song of birds, for
the feel of soft earth under his
feet. At night he lay awake and
thought of his friends and his
own people, and wept.
For thirteen years he was a
shave in a cage. His friends died.
The world he had known passed
away. He was no longer remem-
bered.
And then the woman whose
charge had sent him to the pen-
tential confessed that she had
testified against him falsely.

The Passing of T. Thomas Fortune
A Trip to Europe Bu ADOLPH HODGE
THOMAS FORTUNE is dead. His active life covered the most dynamic half-century in human history. Amid the cosmic sweep of science, discovery, invention, the world transforming changes in literature, art, religion and practical life, he stood aloof and indifferent like the Hebrew prophets, declaring with clarion voice that righteousness, and right-ousness alone, is the salvation of the nation.
Fortune was born about the time of the Dred Scott Decision. His infancy covered the stirring years of the Civil War. As soon as his boyish imagination began to stir his spirit, he was caught up in the whirl of Reconstruction. Never did youthful spirit feed on more nourishing and stimulating pabulum. His soul made instant response to that stimulus. Young Fortune launched upon the political tide. At twelve years of age he was a page in the Florida Legislature. He soon found himself in Howard University, as did many a high-spirited youth of that day, but he found the tedium of pedagogy too restrictive for his restless soul. Who could teach Jesus religion. Darwin biology, Emerson philosophy, Henry Ford business, or Theodore Roosevelt politics? And so young Thomas passed through Howard University without the slightest immeasur-
I AM a firm believer in the slogan "See America First." Then, after seeing the natural phenomena of America, the traveler is ready to see what Europe has to offer. No longer is a trip to Europe a treat to be enjoyed only by the rich. Tourist Third Class rates to almost any place in Europe range from $80 to $200.
Rail travel on the Continent is about the same as here, only it has its advantage: everybody travels second class, which costs half the first class rate. In fact, the distances are so short that third class is acceptable to many, and costs only half the second class fare. The best way to meet the natives of any country is to mingle with them in the third class compartments. The French, German or Italian liners are best for Negroes to take to Europe.

less form of injustice. Is it any wonder that the law is not respected when indifferent citizens tolerate a system that punishes the innocent and lets the guilty go free?
The Case of the Pullman Porters
(From the Evening World.)
With the Pullman porters' strike to force the recognition of their union status and the readjustment of wages and working conditions temporarily postponed, the public is entitled to know something of the controversy with the Pullman Company and the part played by agencies of the Government. The United States Board of Mediation recommended that the company agree to the mediation or arbitration of the dispute, and it refused.
More interesting to the traveling public is the fact that the porters' application for the abolition of the tipping system has been refused by the interstate Commerce Commission. The public will want to know why such an application was refused. The Interstate Commerce Commission has authorized what many believe to be an outrageous increase in Pullman rates, and this would seem to be enough. But it is also determined that this increase shall not benefit the porters, and that the system of holding up the patrons of the company must continue.
The porters show more self-respect than the company in their protest against this system. They ask protesting patrons that there is dignity and decency in that position. There is neither in the demand of the company that its employees should depend for decent remuneration on the gratuities of its patrons.
In view of the more than ample rules allowed the Pullman Company by the Government Commission, it is incredible that the Government should have failed to name the Emergency Board of Arbitration provided by the Watson-Parker Act.

You need not hesitate about being alone in any country because you cannot speak any foreign language. You will always find someone who will be pleased to assist you if you are in a quandary. It is surprising how soon one can learn to count the money of the various countries. If you never learn a word of the language you will learn how to protect your pocketbook. In every country except Italy you will be safe in extending a handful of coins to any shopkeeper and let him pick out the proper amount you owe him.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News:
Nineteen thousand cases of measles in New York City already this year! Quo hundred and seventy-six deaths from measles since January 1. Such are the figures given out a few days ago by Health Commissioner Harris. On the printed page the item books insignificant—but let us remember it means that 116 homes have been darkened by death; that, if simple precautions had been used in all these cases, few if any of these young lives would have been destroyed.
Commissioner Harris points out, rightly, that these figures do not tell the whole tale; that measles, neglected—as the disease too often is—frequently leads to fatal bronchopneumonia and thus is responsible for many more deaths than are directly attributable to it.
Nor is that all. Measles, too commonly regarded as "harmless," may leave pernicious effects upon those who recover from the disease itself. Many times there are complications which do not end fatally, but which permanently disable or cripple the little victims.
Do not expose children to measles! Remember, too, that they stand a better chance of "coming through" mumps unharmed at the age of six or later than when younger.
If a child has a slight fever, with symptoms of a "common cold," and watering eyes that are sensitive to light, put the child to bed, call a physician. Keep all other persons--particularly children--out of the room!
Taken in hand early and properly treated, measles usually proves a mild disease; neglected, it often becomes very serious.
These few suggestions. If observed in all cases, will save many lives. Very sincerely yours. NEW YORK TUBERCULOSIS AND HEALTH ASSOCIATION.

throughout the journalistic world as the voice of the Negro.
For a season, indulging the decline of Douglass and the rise of Booker T. Washington, he was the most influential Negro in the nation. A record of his life would be an adequate history of the Negro race for the past fifty years. He knew intimately and influentially every upstanding Negro who participated in the dramatic episodes of Reconstruction. He was not merely an onlooker, but a participant. In 1876, when the Negro was in the hayday of his political firmament, Tim Fortune was entering into his twenty-first year. There were Negro Senators, Representatives, Governors, judges and influential administrators. Fifty years later every one had been driven from the seats of power and even the seats destroyed. So great has been the apostasy from the days of Grant to the days of Coolidge. Fortune saw and experienced all of this with an inward grooming, too deep for utterance.
Fortune witnessed the exploitation and failure of every theory propounded for the solution of the race's problem. Douglas said: "Equality is the only solution," and, indeed, it is; but how can the Negro get equality? That is the rub. Philanthropy said: "Education will solve the problem." Fortune lived to see the intricacies of the problem increase with the wide spread of knowledge. The religionist used to say: "Religion is the only solvent." But proscription is beginning at the house of God. Then came Booker T. Washing-
the train to London, stay four days and then cross to Park; remain in the French capital three days, proceed to Marseilles for a day, then to Nice for two days; take the Grande Corniche Driva to Monta Carlo and go on to Genoa for one day; spend four days in Rome and two in Naples for the excursions to Capril, Vesuvius and Pompell; go north to Florence for three days and on to Venice for three more.
Milan should detain you but a day, and the Italian Lakes another. Two days in interlaken and in Lucerne should give you a fair idea of the beauty of Switzerland, and two spent in Heidelberg will cause you to fall in love with the hospitable Germans. Take the river steamer for the trip down the historic Rhine to Cologne, remaining for a day; go up into Holland.
Three days can be profitably spent in Amsterdam sightseeing and visiting the diamond factories and a trip to the quaint岛 of Marken. Tarry only a few hours in the Hague and Rotterdam, but allow a full day for Antwerp and four for Brussels. By all means take a full day's auto trip from here to the Grotto of Haun. It is larger than Mammoth Cave. An all-day ride from Brussels will land you back in Paris, filled with wonderful memories and in the proper spirit to take in the sights of Paris.
If you have time, you may make a side trip from Cologne to Berlin. Five days should be provided for your stay here, as there is so much to be seen. Be sure to take the full day trip to Potsdam, the former home of the Kaiser.
A Few Hints
Generally, baths cost nearly as much as your room. No soap is ever supplied.
Plain wine is furnished with the dinner at most of the cafes, and you pay for it whether you drink it or not; other wines are extra.
Don't be afraid to leave your shoes out in the hall at night so they can be polished for you by morning.
Order your meals with ample time to spare, for folks don't move as fast as in New York. Bread and butter are extra also in the cafes and water is never given unless you ask for it, and then it will be warm.
Do not fall for the gag that the help get the extra 10 per cent which is tacked on to your bill; little of it do they ever see.
Buy your rail ticket for the entire length of your journey. You will save money. Tip the porter at the station and he will be sure to get you a seat. Try to get a window seat. It is annoying to be at the door of the compartment, and you can go out in the aisle when you wish to see on that side. Always leave some article in your seat when you leave it, even for a moment.
Use extra care to get on the right train and watch your stations if you have to change trains.
Don't brave or find fault to your neighbor in English. Others in the compartment often understand you. Foreigners are always polite and often sensitive.
Don't try to beat the custom officials, especially the women.
Don't be ashamed to economize. Foreigners respect you for it.
Don't compare everything in terms of New York City.
Don't have an inferiority complex or a chip on your shoulder and don't be bombastic. Be yourself.

ton with a common-ense program of the old-fashioned, homely virtues of thrift, economy and industry; these attainments, like virtue, have their own reward, but they scarcely touch the race problem.
But, alas! it is not amalgamation an all sufficient solvent? Surely it is. But how can the Negro become amalgamated when the white race is unwilling to amalgamate with him? Frederick Douglass said, "Get white"; Marcus Garvey said, "Get out"; Booker T. Washington said, "Get along." In his declining days Fortune's despairing soul, after being hailed and buffeted by all other expedients, inclined to the theory of Marcus Garvey. But here again he found that it is as hard for the Negro to get out as it is to get white. And, so, in final analysis, there remains only the expediency of getting along, which Fortune's dying soul witnessed and masked.
Mr. Fortune's life measures the progress and regress of the race during the past half of a century, but it tells us little or nothing of the future. He found the race with a faith and a philosophy, and leaves it with neither. The new generation must find itself. It must devise a protective philosophy. A race statusmanship that will be adequate to the changed conditions of this day is the unfailled desideratum.
If the wisdom of this day and generation possessed but a modicum of the devotion, zeal and conservation that characterized Thomas T. Fortune and his day, we would surely find out the way, and find the way out.
Monroe Work to Publish Bibliography on Negro
Monroe N. Work, director of Records and Research at Tuskegee Institute, has completed a bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America which is to be published in the coming month by H. W. Wilson Company, of this city.
In the introduction to the bibliography, Anson Phelpa Stokes, a trustee of Tuskegee, states that it is an effort to furnish "an accurate and comprehensive handbook of the titles and authors of valuable books, pamphlets and articles from periodicals on the Negro in Africa and America." It contains 17,000 entries covering publications in this field before 1923.
Mr. Work has been engaged on this task for twenty-five years and has been in contact with librarians and authorities in all parts of the world.

THE announcement of an engagement is usually made by the family of the bride-to-be. In the event public news-
paper announcement is desired, a notice (signed with a name and address) should be sent to the society editor of the local paper or papers. The notice may be briefly composed as follows: "Mr. and Mrs. George C. Meadows announce the engagement of their daughter, Helen, to Robert H. Bradley of Chicago. The date of the wedding has not been fixed, but it will probably take place some time in the early spring."
If, however, the bride-elect has no immediate relatives who can make such an announcement for her, she herself may submit for public notice, such as "Miss Helen Meadows announces her engagement to Robert H. Bradley of Chicago," etc.
If less public announcement is desired, the young couple may each write personal notes to their friends. In these notes one or two afternoons may be mentioned when the young woman, with her mother, will be "at home." This gives an opportunity for the relatives and friends of the young man to meet his flame. The entertainment will be an informal afternoon tea, at which time sandwiches or salad, takes and tea may be served.
Friends of the bride and groom to be may properly begin their entertainment of the couple after the announcement has been made.
The bride-to-be shall then begin to assemble articles for her trespass initialing them with her maiden name, "H. M." and not "H. B."

THE AFRICAN SAGA; By Blaise Cendrars. Translated from L'Anthologie Négre by Margery Bianco. Payson & Clarke, Ltd. $5.00. THE world long ago discovered Africa; now it is discovering the African. He used to be thought of as a god
tering the African. He used to be thought of as a godless cannibal, with a ring in his nose, a spear in his hand and nothing in his head. His fright at his first sight of a white man was attributed to cowardice by those who did not know that he only thought he saw the devil. Africans think the devil is white and the white people say he is black. A white woman who had just landed in America jumped off a trolley car and ran for dear life the first time she saw a Negro; she thought he was the devil. White women, hunting in Africa, marvel because they can travel through jungles for weeks with natives and not be mofested and they attribute it to chastity or fear in the natives.
The real cause of their immunity is less flattering; the natives merely see nothing desirable in white women. / So it goes, with one misunderstanding after another, and the Anglo-Saxon has a genius for misunderstanding other races.
A common delusion is that the Africans are all one people, with one language. They are as diverse as the people of Europe. Africa has at least seven different races of people and they speak no less than 591 different languages and dialects. The Negro group alone has 195 languages and 49 dialects.
The folklore of these African peoples has been gathered in a large volume by Blaise Cendrars, a Frenchman, and his book has been done into English by Margery Blanco. After this double cooking the poems and stories cannot be expected to retain their original tang, so they can be judged only by content.
"The African Saga" is not presented as a complete collection of African legends, but it contains enough of them for a week's reading. It is an irritating book in a way, for one is compelled to read all the stories for fear of missing the best ones. Not all of them are good; some are as flat as a glass of beer left standing for five hours. It may be a case of the reader's failure to follow the African's thought-idoms, or the point of the tales may have been blunted by the two translations, but even after several readings some of these stories show no reason for their existence.
The book has many divisions. It starts with the African's cosmogony, or story of the Creation, which gives the lizard as the ancestor of mankind. It proceeds with the story of man's pride and fall and more than once strikes a universal note.
For instance, the old women and the young women quarreled when they met at the spring where they drew water, and the chiefs ruled that the young women should go one day and the old ones the next. But that did not help matters, for when the old women's turn came they held back; not one would admit that she was old.
Nearly all the stories deal with magic and witchcraft. The stom- in," as the book is titled, is a group of eight dances, attempting to use characteristic Negro songs and dance steps for educational purposes. There is appropriate music for each dance which is simply yet sufficiently illustrated and described.
The book is being published by the Norfolk Journal and Guide Publishing Company and will be on sale at the Hampton Institute Store. Hampton, Va.

Immediately upon the announcement of an engagement, the mother of the groom-to-be should at once call upon the bride-to-be and her mother and invite them, or the entire family, to visit her or to have dinner with her.
It is customary for the family of the young man to make the first advances. Elaborateness of entertainment, of course, depends upon the circumstances and position of the family. The calls and letters from the family of the groom-elect to the bride-elect should be prompt, returned or answered.
It is an accepted custom, when the young lady lives in another city and has never met the family of her fiance, for them to invite her to come to visit them. If the young lady lives in the country, her parents should invite her fiance to spend a while with them.
If there is a great distance between the two families, letters expressing their approval and good wishes should be sent by the families one to the other

each seems to be the most important organ in the body. We read of a glutton or a beast eating a villageful of people, and they seem to be done for; but they generally cut their way out of the bearer's stomach. But everything seems capable of eating, meats, trees and stones. There are chapters of stories about temtism, historical legends and the origin of civilization and social customs.
The striking frequency with which the same stories arise from widely separated peoples is manifest in this book. Just as in the biblical story the sea divides to let the Israelites pass and their closes upon their pursuers, so it happens in several stories in this book.
In Grecian mythology there is the fable of the Mintouat, the monster who demanded the sacrifice of a malden every year, till Theseus killed him. In Africa the Mintouat is Ombure, the crocodile, who demands maldeens and eats them till he is killed by Ngu-rangurane.
A short but striking fable is that of the hare and the Earth. The hare reproaches the Earth for always staying in the same places, "You are mistaken," says the Earth, "I move faster than you do." How did those ancient Africans know that the Earth moves, when trained men in Europe were persecuting Gallileo for such a be lief? They were unreed, they had no scientific instruments or meth cds of computation, yet they covered that the Earth moves be fore Europeans did.
There are some poems in this book which sound as if they might have been beautiful in their original languages, especially "The Death of Baragourand" and "The Song of the Gun." There would be more if the literature of the Bantu tribe were obtainable, for the Bantus are supposed to be the most intellectual tribe of Africa. For some reason the Bantu legends are omitted from this book. Parents are advised to cut out a page here and there before giving this book to their children. The Africans call biological processes by their names, but this is Amerien.
At first glance "The African Saga" would seem to be a fairly representative collection, for the bibliography consulted by the and thor is over seven pages long, but the reader cannot escape the feeling that there is much more and much better stuff in African folklore than this nook offers. From native Africans visiting America people have heard stories more ingenious and dramatic, of greater continuity and reach of conception. Of these "The African Saga" gives us only a forecast.—Aubrey Bowser.

The Call of the Hills
I MUST go out to the hills again,
To the low hills framed with gold--
For my pulse keeps a modelling beat
With a thrill that grips me whole,
All the flush in me seems vagant,
And all wild life of me a part,
O, will you envy the wanton hills,
If I offer them my heart?
I must go out over hills again
To rest my wayward soul.
Where the passionate beating of the rain
Is a thrill that's dear and old.
Where the rose-gold heavens and life-thronged soul.
Offer sweet communion with my God.
Life leaps--and giving births
Sings to me of the earth and sun.
When I go out to the hill
To die come to that place
And say, as you hold a bet
That the wind blinds them
"You sun, you kills, played things
On her roving gypsy strings."
Drop the sod--let it lay the
Let me be part of the wild life
Part of the magic that the soul
Part of the wondrous sun-gold
