VICTIMS OF BRUTAL HARLEM POLICEMAN FOUND NOT GUILTY
Evidence Reveals How White Officer Insulted and Threatened Woman Sitting Alone in Parked Auto and Later Shot Her Husband for Defending Her.
Amazing facts in the unjust and malicious prosecution of two innocent victims by the police was revealed during the trial Friday morning of Arthur Jones, 39, and his wife, Victoria, 39. Both of 51 East 107th street, on charges of feloniously assaulting a policeman. The trial was held at Harlem Court and Magistrate Earl Smith, who presided, rendered the following verdict at its conclusion: "After hearing the testimony in this case, both by the defendants and the complainant,-I find that the defendants are not guilty." The pair was defended by Attorney Isidor Wells, of Moss, Marcus & Wells, 233 Broadway
The complainant, Patrolman Patrick Woods, white, of the East 126th street station, was the first to take the witness stand and related a fantastic but faltering story to the effect that he had been stabbed in the back by the defendant, Jones, while he (Patrolman Woods) was investigating a car parked without lights on 117th street between Pleasant avenue and East River on the morning of July 23.
He failed to admit that he had shot Jones, in the groin while the latter stood helpless with upraised hands after having surrendered to Patrolman Emmet M. Howe, also white, of the East 104th street station, until this fact was brought out by Attorney Wells.
The entire courtroom seemed to be in sympathy with the fortunate couple as they rendered their simple version of the shooting and the alledged attack. Jones, his wife, his mother-in-law and a friend had just returned from a motor trip to Philadelphia, and after leaving the friend at home Jones drove to 527 East 117th street, where he parked his car and left Mrs. Jones in the rear seat while he accompanied his mother-in-law upstairs.
Mrs. Jones stated that about this time a patrolman in uniform accompanied by a man in shirt sleeves approached the car and that Patrolman Woods opened the door and said, "Hello, kiddo, what are you doing here?" She said she replied that she was waiting for her husband, but that Patrolman Woods, not liking her reply, slapped her across the face. She hollered, "Leave me alone," and stated further that Patrolman Woods raised his nightstick to strike her and she grabbed hold of

The pair was defended by ass. Marcus & Wells, 233 Broadway.
Officer Accused Of Assault Freed
Belief Expressed That He Feared to Back Up His Charges
Herman Charada, 1668 Park avenue, who said he and his wife were beaten by a white policeman while they were passengers on a Third avenue "L." train, said he was "not sure" that Patrolman James Maloney of the Webster avenue station was the officer who assaulted him, when Charada took the witness stand in Harlem Court to testify before Magistrate Smith early last week. His testimony caused the dismissal of Maloney on a charge of felonious assault.
The belief was expressed by several persons in the courtroom that he had been intimidated by the police.
Charada had said that Maloney poked his wife in the ribs with his club and that when he protested Maloney struck him on the head with the night stick. The crowd is reported to have become furious, and when the train pulled into the 116th street station Maloney fled before their wrath, dropping his stick on the platform.
Charada picked up the stick and took it to Captain Louis Ninching of the East 126th street station, who learned from its number that it belonged to Maloney. The complaint was forwarded to Captain Flaretty of the Webster avenue station and Maloney was arrested when he reported off duty.
KELLY MILLER URGES
HOOVER BE SUPPORTED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 20 In a statement Tuesday, Kelly Miller, Howard University professor and publicist, vaguely urged support of the Republican party in the Presidential election because of Hoover's position on the Eighteenth amendment. He advises the Negro to free himself from the motive of vindictive politics and line up "on the side of law and order, of temperance and righteousness."

New National Bank to Open September 17
A national bank for the convenience of Harlem Negroes will be formally opened Sept. 17, under the name of the Dunbar National Bank of New York, located in the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Garden Apartments on the corner of 150th street and Eighth avenue.
The bank is another Harlem venture of John D. Rockefeller Jr., who built the Garden Apartments recently at a cost of over $3,000,000. The new bank will have a paid-in capital stock of $500,000 and surplus and undivided profits of $540,000.
Application for the establishment of the new bank has been approved by the Comptroller of the Currency. John D. Higgins, white, former vice-president of the American Exchange-Irving Trust Company, will be the president. The only Negro official will be Roscoe Conklin Bruce, resident manager of the Dunbar Apartments.
All other officials will be white, including the vice-president and the cashier, while so far as possible the rest of the personnel will be colored, it is reported.
John D. Rockefeller, III, will enter business for the first time as a member of the board of directors of the new enterprise. The young man is just 22 years old and a senior at Princeton. He is now in Geneva, where he has a temporary position at $20 a week in the information
Freed, Man Starts On Run for Home
When Edmund Rogers, no home, was arraigned Friday before Magistrate Smith in Harlem Court on a charge of vagrancy and intoxication, he was let go despite the fact that his record showed thirteen previous convictions for the same offense.
"Judge, can I go home?" he asked.
"Yes," conceded the Court, "provided you get out of here fast enough."
Rogers started on a run down the center aisle of the courtroom and had reached the exit before he remembered to thank Magistrate Smith.

All Is Quiet on
Political Row
Both Parties Slow in Getting Things Going.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 (P.N.S.)
—The question now before the country is what is the delay of both major parties in getting started what was supposed to be the greatest campaign the country ever knew.
In Democratic quarters nothing can be heard of what part the Negro voters will play in the campaign. Headquarters have been opened in Forty-sixth street. New York City. This is several blocks away from the General Motors building where the white folks will "Carry On."
Lester A. Walton Named
Lester A Walton of the New York World has been selected as publicity man. Attorney Rainey of Boston is heading up the Colored Division along with Mr. Walton. It appears that Mr. Rainey will do the directing of activities, leaving the publicity end of the campaign to Mr. Walton.
In prominent Democratic circles in New York City much discussion is going the rounds as to what part Commissioner Fordinand Q. Morton will play in the campaign of Governor Smith, since Mr. Morton is the leading Negro member of Tammany Hall. It is also being asked
Police Shake-up Needed in Harlem AN EDITORIAL
SINCE SUNDAY, JULY 22, on which date members of the Police Department nearly precipitated a riot by the brutal methods they used in placing a man under arrest, numerous incidents have been reported in the daily press throughout the city which tend to justify the charge that far too many members of the police force are utterly unfit for service as peace officers of a metropolitan city, that the Police Department itself is autocratic in its methods, that resentment is shown when charges are made against police officers deemed derelict in their duty, and that city magistrates show a disposition to uphold this inhuman system.
DURING THE COURSE of the disturbance of July 22 two men were placed under arrest—one of whom was charged with felonious assault and disorderly conduct and the other disorderly conduct. The former, a man by the name of Donald, despite the fact that he had undergone a severe beating at the hands of members of the police force, was, nevertheless, able to walk into the Sixteenth Police Precinct, but was later brought out on an ambulance stretcher.
THE LATTER, a respectable citizen by the name of Bailey, who says he was arrested because he protested when he saw policemen striking women with their clubs, and who was freed when he was arraigned in Night Court, says that while he was in the Sixteenth Precinct he saw four plainclothes officers and one uniformed policeman beat Donald unmercifully, to which fact he says he is willing to testify. Mr. Bailey and the policemen in question know why Donald, had to be brought out of the precinct on a stretcher.

Tropical Storm Kills 200 in Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Hafti, Aug. 20. - Scores of persons are reported to have been killed, many villages erased and insculable damage done to crops by a tropical storm which swept Hafti Friday.
Some estimates place the number of dead at 200, with 10,000 persons homeless.
The storm was said by meteorological observers to have been the worst in forty-two years. The damage to roads, wire communications and the public services were placed in the neighborhood of 100,000,000. Many small coastwise craft were sunk or hurled damaged on the beach.
Torrential rains, which accompanied the storm, lasted for more than twenty hours, the wind frequently reaching hurricane intensity.
President Louis Borno visited a part of the stricken area and an emergency relief credit was ordered. Most of the damage was done in outlying sections and few of the larger towns and cities suffered greatly.

what has become of William H. Lewis of Boston and what part he will play. It will be remembered that he turned Democrat four years ago and it may be said with considerable truth that he is still off the republican "reservation."
Down here in Washington things are just as slow as they are in New York City, if not slower. The only difference, however, is that the activities of the whites and colored here in Washington are not separated; they are all in the same building. There is nothing doing in the publicity department. In fact, Robert L. Vann of Pittsburgh, Pa., Director of Publicity, has not even been to Washington as late as last Saturday.
Another week may see things moving in both camps and the much-talked-of-campaigns may get going at full speed.

POLICEMEN BEAT UP NEAR-RIOT WITNESS IN STATION HOUSES
The police are said to have severely broken and shreds the clothes of St. William Grant, 28, 130 West 199th street, a witness to the near riot in Harlem, July 22, while putting him through the "third degree" last Tuesday following his arrest. The "examination" is said to have included burning his hands and legs with cigar butts in an effort to force from him a confession of alleged robbery upon Herman Ellis, white taxi driver, 218 East 122d street, on the night of July 21.
District Bar Association Endorses Jones for Judge
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 20. The Washington Bar Association at a special meeting in the District Supreme Court building last Saturday endorsed Thomas L. Jones, an assistant United States attorney for the District of Columbia, for judge of the police court to succeed Judge George H. MacDonald, who died recently.
The association adopted a resolution urging the President to appoint Mr. Jones to the vacancy. Copies of the resolution were sent to the President, and the Attorney General. A copy was also sent to John R. Hawkins, chairman of the executive committee of the "colored voters" division" of the Republican campaign organization.
Grant is accused of attacking Detective Webber of the West 135th street station, who arrested him the same afternoon the moment he stepped from the witness stand in Heights Court, where he gave testimony against the police before Magistrate Dudge regarding what he saw of alleged police brutality upon Clarence Donald, 36, 2328 Newenth avenue.
Donald was convicted of disorderly conduct and sentenced to ten days in the workhouse on complaints of Mrs. Zerlana Chavis, 559 Lenox avenue, who said she positively identified him as the man who, in company with two others, chased her from her home and beat and choked her about 7 o'clock Sunday evening July 22. It was Donald's arrest following Mrs. Chavis' screams that precipitated the near riot of 3,000 citizens, during which Patrolmen Irwin Young, Herman De Stella, both white, William McFadden and Charles Kubell, white, of Traffic C, were injured and treated at Harlem Hospital.
Kubell charges Donald with felonious assault in that Donald kicked him in the groin while "resisting arrest" while intoxicated. This charge will be heard Sept. 7 in Heights Court.

GRANT TESTIFIED UNDER
OATH THAT HE SAW PATROL
It was Melvin Deck (not Deck) of 33 McCombs place, whose body was found in an aneway near his home on Sunday morning, August 12, (not Monday morning, as announced in last week's issue of The Amsterdam News).
The name of Robert G. Jones, 22, 157 West 142d street, auto salesman, should have appeared directly beneath the photograph bearing the name of John Jones by error, on page eight in last week's issue of The Amsterdam News.
Mr. Jones completed his studies at St. Bonaventure College, Olean, N. Y., and will not return there next year, as reported. Instead, he may study sanitation at one of the schools here in the fall.
The address of George Smith, 26, charged with burglary, is not at 130 A Schenectady avenue, nor is he the next door neighbor of Mrs. (not Miss) Maude Lee, the complainant, who lives at this address. It was erroneously stated in these columns recently that Smith lived at the above address, but his address is unknown. Mrs. Lee recognized Smith on the street and not as "he was leaving his home," as reported.
MAYOR WALKER WELCOMES LEAGUE
Says There Is an Opportunity Here For Those of Character and Ability
Prominent Business Men From Many Sections of the Country Make Constructive Addresses to Delegates at 29th Annual Meeting.
For those of character and ability there is an avenue of opportunity for everybody in New York City, according to Mayor James J. Walker, who delivered an address of welcome at the twenty-ninth annual meeting of the Negro Business League at Abyssinian Baptist Church last Wednesday evening. With this exception, all other meetings were held at Mother A.M.E. Zion Church, 137th street near Seventh avenue, beginning Wednesday morning and ending Friday afternoon.
Abyssinian Church was crowded to standing room to hear the Mayor speak and to listen to the annual address of Major Robert R. Moton, head of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and president of the league. Major Moton sounded the keynote of the conference by stressing organization, co-operation, honesty, character and training.
Interracial co-operation, and a Mr. Atkinson, white, of the Virgin Islands Commission.
Two Outstanding Gains
According to Albon L. Holsey of Tuskegee, secretary of the league, the two outstanding accomplishments of the past year have been
New York Misunderstood
Mayor Walker stated that this city is the most misunderstood and maligned city in the United States and in the whole world. This has come about through its cosmopolitan nature and extreme broad-mindedness. He pointed out that the city is one people from every state in the Union and from every country in the world. The Mayor stated that the difference in politics does not change the work of those in political office. When those in political office are studying the problems of housing conditions, for instance, then the work of those in the priest or religion are forgotten, he said. Alderman Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age and president of the local branch of the league, presided and introduced the speakers, including the Mayor. Following Mayor Walker's address Miss Ella Belle Davis, soprano Miss Noelle Belle Davis, and very brilliant vocal renditions, she was accompanied at the plano by her sister, Miss Marie Davis.
Negro's Greatest Weakness
In his address Major Moton said the Negro's greatest weakness is lack of co-operation; everybody wants to rule. "I would like to see some sort of universal co-operation among Negroes in the United States," he said, "without regard to religion, wealth, society, power. The fraternities, local politics, is always of interest, insurance companies and attorneys should all combine. If you would all combine here in Harlem you could go to either major party and demand a Negro Congressman and get one," he said in substance. Such a powerful combination would shake Harlem, the Mayor, the Governor and the whole United States, the Major stressed. But the moment a Negro candidate is put up, someone rises to put him down, he said. The masses are not voting and yet we have busy talking religion. We've got to get together and show the white race we can do it on fundamental grounds."
"The Negro problem today is no longer an educational problem. Major Moton told his audience, nor is it a question of reliction, for most of the black people who white practice their Christianity. "Mark my word, you are not going to rise much higher than your commercial development. Stop asking for the crumbs that fall from the table of "white business". Major Moton then said that only two per cent of the Negro's money is spent among his race.
A Plea for Honesty
The handling of other people's money, is a sacred trust, and Negro banks have failed because of the lack of honest administration of their affairs, Major Moton said. "Ignorance on the part of the officials is no excuse. They ought to use our bank failures in stepping back. What is more serious than the loss of money, he said, is the loss of confidence. The Major told what he said was the true story of Julius Rosenwald and other white friends raising $400,000 to rehabilitate a Negro insurance company, but they found the complaint unheard. The investment that aid was refused and the money was returned. Another case of unwise business methods was found in a Negro bank in Georgia, he said, where 75 per cent of its $200,000 resources were invested in real estate. Major Moton said he told the president of the bank that resources too much of the bank's resources in real estate were the proper and safe method of investment. The man laughed at him, but a year later the bank failed.
Speaking of lack of proper training in business, Major Moton cited the case of a Negro with a broom factory in New Jersey being refused $200 worth of straw and thereby losing money. He dared on a contract he was to receive from a transit system for a large standing order of brooms.
"He took no one into his confidence, and didn't know what to do, so he sat down on a barrel and cried." This is pathetic but I could multiply such instances again and again.
As long as there is one Negro down the race cannot rise, said the Major, and it is the Negro's religious and Christian duty to himself and the world to make the most of his talents and opportunities.
Among the distinguished guests we met the addresses of Mayor Walker, and the Moton were John H. Finley, white, esteemed to the New York Times, Will Alexander, white, executive secretary on
interracial co-operation, and a Mr. Islander for the Virgin Islands Compensation.
Two Outstanding Gains
According to Albon L. Holey of Tuskegee, secretary of the league, the two outstanding accomplishments of the past year have been the appointment of J. A. "Billboard" Jackson as assistant business director in the county commission of the United States Department of Commerce at Washington and the placing of four men in the field to make a survey of Negro business throughout the nation. They are Gordon H. Simpson, Torrence H. Harrison, Jr. Texas, and Weldon H. Bolton, Tennessee.
At the opening session Wednesday morning Alderman Clifford Hawkins, representing Joseph V. McKeen, president of the Board of Aldermen, welcomed the delegates on behalf of the city. Other addresses of welcome were delivered by Harry H. Rever, president of Life Insurance Company; Attorney Francis E. Rivers, on behalf of the lawyers; the Rev. John W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's P. E. Church, on behalf of the ministry; William H. Wortham, president of the Philip A. Payton Realty Company, on behalf of business.
Attorney F. B. Ransom of Indianapolis responded to the addresses of welcome. One of his most cogent remarks was mention of the fact that he had with their own race and then spending their money with the white race after they get employment.
The place of business in the press, the bank, the church, the school and of formal organization in business occupied the opening session. George R. Schuyler, journalist, stated the press to be; (a) To disseminate the facts of business development; (b) intelligent criticism of business plans and to give correct information on business matters; (c) to reduce the unwarranted ballyhoo of praise of Negro business, and (d) to co-ordinate with business interests. Wilson Lovett, president of the First Standard Bank, Louisville, Ky., stressed the need of thrift, the proper use of credit and other matters in the bank's relation to business. The Rev. Richard H. Bowling, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Norfolk, Va., in speaking of the Church's place in the program of business quoted the saying that "Success consists in the importance" and emphasized the importance of business men having ideals of moral decency and business integrity and honesty.
John W. Davis, of the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, said that the schools should teach thrift in the kindergarten and continue the study throughout the school life of the student, in commenting on the place of the school in the ten-year program. The ideal of work should be entrusted in the minds of youth, he said.
John L. Webb, of Hot Springs, Ark. first vice-president of the league, spoke of the great practical benefit to be derived from insurance companies, banks and other organizations that have grown out of the league. "We have a port it will play in the ten-year program. "I hold $62,000 worth of life insurance with Negro companies," he said.
Channing H. Tobias, national executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A., told of the part the "Y." will play in the next ten years for business life during the next ten years.
Alderman Moore presided at this session.
Retail Merchandising
According to Mr. Holsey the conference missed one of its best opportunities by not asking questions following the brilliant talk Thursday morning on retail merchandising by Frank M. Surface, white, assistant director, domestic commerce bureau, United States Department of Commerce, and Mr. Surface's discussion of the independent and chain stores, showing the necessity of mergers, corporations and unified merchandising.
Mr. Surface was introduced by Mr. Jackson, also of the Department of Commerce, who spoke on "What the United States Department of Commerce is doing for the Small Retail Merchant." Dr. M. V. Boutte, proprietor of Boutte's Pharacy, 137th street and Seventh avenue, spoke on retail merchandising as it related to the drug store.
Clarence J. Robinson of Brooklyn, only two wives, Norgre State Examiners for the New York Insurance Department, spoke on "The Business of Insurance and the Insurance of Business." Major Moton presided at this session.

-Atty. C. W. M. Williams.—
In connection with a survey of foreign fields being made now for the missionary department of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, Attorney Charles W. M. Williams, attorney at W. D. and W. Joseph W. Holley of Albany, Ga., have gone abroad.
The party sailed Saturday night on the S. S. Lapland for Antwerp and from there they will go to the Belgium Congo in Africa, covering a three months' period.
Attorney Williams, when home, associated with the Boston Juvenile Court, Dr. Holley is president of the Georgia Normal and Agricultural College.
said Anthony B. Overton, president of the Douglass National Bank and Victory Life Insurance Company of Chicago, at Thursday evening's session. "If any progress is to be made we must get into economic lines. To succeed we must do the same as the white race in business. And we must not forget to put in ability and integrity and to keep our obligations."
During the same session, which was presided over by C. C. Spaulding, chairman of the executive committee, briefed. Remarks were made by Alice D.
Jonbar Nelson, prominent social worker; Watt Terry, New York millionaire real estate man; Attorney general; Real Estate Rep. George E. Haynes, secretary of the Commission on Church and Race Relations. John R. Hawkins of Washington, president of the Prudential Bank and financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, told the audience at the A. M. E. Church event that he would be a shareholder in this government, but a director in its affair.
Health Week Awards
Major Motion presided at the last session, which began gt 8:30 a.m. Friday and lasted until 4 in the afternoon. The principal feature of this session was the announcement of awards given in the National Negro Health Week Contest by R. W. Emerson, white, executive secretary of the National Clean-up and Paint-up Bureau here.
Mr. Emerson spoke on "Cleanliness and the laying "We are judged by our exterior, which reflects the inner man."
The awards were silver loving cups and the first one was presented to Cincinnati, O., for the best urban campaign and was accepted by W. L. Anderson, acting for James H. Robinson, executive secretary of the Negro Civic Welfare Committee of Cincinnati.
Two awards went to Henderson, Ky., one for the best community campaign and the other for the best specific report. But it was more appreciation from Morris E. Eblen, white, mayor of Henderson, was read.
The last cup went to Montgomery, Md., for the best war campaign and was accepted by a delegate from the city. The subject of "Health and Business" was discussed by the Rev. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. He stated that while at college a physician put up to die, but he determined to live and succeeded rather admirably.
Voices Women's Appeal
"The only rest is labor." This quotation from a famous writer was repeated by Addle W. Hunton of Brooklyn, who framed five things women demand from their employer week's work: (1) it was the 45-hour work week; (2) it was wages upon the job and not upon sex; (3) far as possible prohibit night work; (4) a rest period before and after childbirth, and (5) the same working conditions as given to others, together with the same wages for the same work. Following this Mrs. Hunton spoke on the subject of Man with Buys Expects From the Man With Buys: "Negro Business and Social Work" was the subject of a talk by Llewnt, Lawrence A. Oxley, director of
Young Bronx White Man Mistreated Child, Strikes Mother, Kills Father
A 17-year-old white man intimidated a 15-year-old colored child, knocked the child's mother down with a blow to the jaw when she protested, and then murdered the child's father when he came to protect his wife last Wednesday night in the Bronx. The killer escaped at the time, but later surrendered to the police.
The dead man is Walter Barnett, 453 East 171st street, near Park avenue, an employee of the Consolidated Gas Company, who died in an ambulance on the way to Fordham Hospital after he had been stabbed with a double-bladed knife in the chest and under the heart.
Barnett's son Harbert was playing in the street with some white children around his age when the white bully, Isidore Brown, 1498 Brook avenue, interfered and drenched the child with a bucket of water.
Upon learning of the assault upon her son, Mrs. Barnett rushed from the house and remonstrated with a blow to the face. Her husband came to her rescue and he was fatally stabbed while fighting with Brown.
and they conducted a fruitless search for the murderer.
When Dr. Pennoch arrived from Fordham Hospital they found Barnett beyond aid. The Barnett family includes, beside Herbert, three other children, aged 11 months, 19 years and 22 years. All are boys except the youngest.
Slayer Surrenders
On Friday afternoon Brown gave himself up to the police at the Bathgate avenue station. He gave his occupation as plumber's helper and amateur boxer.
He told Detectives Walsh and Latham he ran to the police station immediately after the fight and remained there about 20 minutes, intending to give himself up, realizing the sense feeling that he
Mrs. Brown recovered sufficiently to hold onto the bully, but he wrested himself free and fled into an apartment house at 171st street and Washington avenue.
An indignant crowd followed closely behind, but the killer escaped on the rooftops. Detectives Walsh and Lenhant were summoned from the Bathinggate avenue station
the division of Negro work on the North Carolina State Board of Charities and Public Welfare.
Roscoe Conklin Bruce, resident manager of the Dunbar Garden Apartments here, and a member of the board of directors of the new Dunbar National Bank, told briefly the story of the building of the Dunbar Apartments.
Remarks were also made by Carl Murray and the Baltimore Afro-American; L. O. Robinson, importer and manufacturer and chemist; 222 and manufacturer and chemist; 140th street, and William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P.
Dean Pickens said that the successful conduct of business will not only solve the race problem, but all other problems. Other highlights of his pithy remarks were: "There is never any equality between poverty and wealth." "Poor lawyers are costly and it takes money to hire a good one. The rise and fall in the bread will determine the rise and fall of morale." "Economic progress can be definitely measured." "A good, sound business foundation is necessary for all other cultures."
Porters' Fight Endorsed
Lemuel L. Foster, manager of the Harlem office of the Victory Life Insurance Company and secretary of the local league, read the resolutions which included the endorsement of collective bargaining between employers and employees, with special reference to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The receipts of the league for the past year, it is reported, were $2,840; expenditures, $2,560.87. The actual balance on hand now is $240.48. It was reported.
League Officers
With three exceptions the same officers were elected to serve another year. Major Moton agreed to remain in office as president, but asked to be relieved as soon as possible, saying that his responsibilities are heavy and he isn't getting any younger.
The remaining officers are as follows: J. C. Napier, honorary president, Nashville, Tenn.; John L. Webb, first vice-president, Hot Springs, Ark.; Dr. J. R. Levy, second vice-president, Florence S. C.; John L. Replaced of Newark, N.J.; Replaced George W. Franklin of Chattanooga, Tenn.; third vice-president; Luther Manuel, fourth vice-president, Muskogee, Okla.; W. J.

On Friday afternoon Brown gave himself up to the police at the Bathgate avenue station. He gave his occupation as plumber's helper and amateur boxer.
He told Detectives Walsh and Lenihan that he ran to the police station immediately after the fight and remained there about 20 minutes, intending to give himself up. Realizing the tense feeling that he had probably stirred against him in the community, he said, he fled, but would not reveal his whereabouts from Wednesday to Friday.
Brown was accompanied to the police station by his attorney, Samuel Goldstein, white, and was later arraigned in Homicide Court. Before Magistrate Smith and held without bail for a further hearing.

Locklier Sentenced To Penitentiary
After being confined to the Tombs for over four months, former Patrolman Charles E. Lockler of the West 135th street station was sent to the penitentiary for a term of not less than six months nor more than three years, following his conviction of oppression, in Part III of General Sessions Thursday morning.
In handing down the verdict, Judge Cornellus F. Collins advised Attorney Ralph C. Warrick, 200 West 135th street, who defended Lockler, to get in touch with the parole officer at the penitentiary and express the conformity of the court with whatever length of time which he (the parole officer) might deem sufficient for Lockler to spend in jail. He also promised that the time spent by Lockler in the Tombs would be taken into consideration.
Locklark was suspended by Deputy Police Commissioner Felix Muldoon, late in February, because of several complaints which the police department is alleged to have received against him. He was arraigned before Judge O'Neill Thursday of court 0 and was found at the charge of extortion, grand larceny and robbery, and was convicted only on a charge of oppression (defined as the unlawful intimidation or interference with a citizen in the conduct of his business).

OLYMPIC
Body of Mrs. Millicent Bowen Being Brought Back Here by Lucille Edwards
Sister of Phil Edwards Believed to Have Succumbed to Acute Attack of Kidney Trouble, Dying
Mrs. Millicent Bowen, 229 West 138th street, sister of Phil Edwards, athlete, whom she accompanied to Europe to see the part he took in the Olympic games, died at 2 o'clock Thursday morning on her way to Holland, according to a cablegram received here Friday morning from Lucille Edwards, her sister, to her brother, Edward B. Edwards. She had been stopping at 6 Rockbourne road, Forest Hill, London.
Same Day.
A sudden attack of kidney trouble is reported as the cause of her death, as she had not been ill. Her body is being brought here for burial by her sister, Lucille, who accompanied her on the trip. Her husband, Charles, did not go abroad with her.
Mrs. Bowen had been to Ireland and Belgium to see her brother take part in the relay races, and died the same day she left Belgium for Holland.
She is survived by her husband; two brothers, Phillip and Edward B. Edwards, three sisters, Lucille, Sarah and Jone Edwards, and a four-year-old son, Gezner. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fitz B. Edwards, posed at the West 138th street address. Her father is in the Presbyterian Hospital, too ill to be told of her sudden death.
According to a report in a Canadian daily paper, the ship boarding Miss Edwards and her sister's body will leave London today. As late as Monday night Mr. Bowen had received no further cable from Miss Edwards.
The report states further that Mrs. Bowen died in a London hospital, where she was rushed and operated upon, following her sudden illness.
Arrangements are being made for funeral services at Howell's Funeral Church, 2332 Seventh avenue at 157th street. The Rev. Daniel E. Perry, pastor of the Providence Congregational Church at Georgetown, British Guinea, will officiate.
The Rev. Mr. Perry has been chosen to perform this service because he is the personal friend of the Bowens, who are members of St. Philip's P. E. Church in West 157th street. The Rev. Mr. Perry is visiting relatives here at 132 West 157th street.
Prior to her death, Mrs. Bowen was associated with her husband and sister in the real estate and insurance business, since 1916. Seventh avenue, since 1923.
Police Beat Man Following Arrest
(Continued from Page 1)
MAN DE STELLA KICK AT DONALD AND MISS AND THE BLOW CAUGHT PATROLMAN KUBEIL IN THE GROIN, AND THAT PATROLMAN RICHARDSON BEAT DONALD WITH HIS CLUB WHILE DE STELLA AND KUBEIL HELD HIM.
On the evening of the near riot Donald was walking when he was taken into the West 135th street police station, but he was brought out on a stretcher. Dermott Bailey, a fellow prisoner with Donald, said he saw four phlecothemesm and a uniformed policeman beat Donald until he lost consciousness, behind closed doors.
Grant was arrested the moment he finished his testimony. This act was strenuously protested by Attorney John William Smith, former Alderman, 26 Cortlandt street, who represented Donald and Grant and who informed the court that the arrest, was against the law, which states that a witness giving testimony cannot be arrested until he has left the courtroom. This made no difference, however. Attorney Smith called the magistrate's attention to the healthy condition of his client and asked that he be protected against being assaulted by the police. Detective Webber gave his assurances that Grant would not be ill treated while in his custody.
Grant was taken to the. Seventeenth precinct, 1820 street and Wadsworth avenue, where Webb began to fingerprint him. According to Webb, Grant suddenly seized him by the necktie and tried to choke him. In the terrific tussle, the police said Webb's clothes were almost torn off. Grant threw the station house into confusion, turning over desks and breaking a window in his effort to escape, the police said, and it was necessary to "subdue" him.
The police reported further that Grant refused to enter his allotted cell at the West 123d street station, where it is said HE WAS BEATEN THE SECOND TIME. After he was placed in the cell, the police said, he hutted his head against the wall, flung his arms indiscriminately about and acted generally as if he were mad. On Wednesday morning he refused to leave his cell and the police were forced to drag him out to the lineup, it is reported.
Grant by this time was so badly beaten that a physician was called to treat him. He looked so badly that he was hardly recognizable, and in the line-up he could hardly stand.
He was arraigned in Harlem Court before Magistrate Smith and held in 13,000 ball for a further hearing on a charge of robbery. Grant had no previous record, it was shown. He denied the charge completely. Ellis, the complainant, said he identified Grant as the man who hired his cab on the night in ques-

tion, and after driving one square to 204 West 119th street drew an automatic revolver and ordered him to the top floor, where he tied him to the bannister and robbed him of a $20 wrist watch, a $45 ring and $16.20 in cash and fled.
Will Appeal for Donald
Attorney Smith told The Amsterdam News Saturday that the intends to make an appeal from the decision of Magistrate Dodge in sentencing Donald to the workhouse.
"I am positive I will get a reversal of that decision," he said, "for we had three witnesses to refute the testimony of Mrs. Chavis that Donald was the man who attacked her." Magistrate Dodge had stated that Mrs. Chavis' testimony had not been refuted or denied.
"The magistrate only sent Donald away to save the face of the police," Attorney Smith said, "and to lay the foundation for their other charge of felonious assault."
Grant was the second witness in the Donald case. to be arrested in court. The first one was the arrest of Pedro Suner, 130-pound youth from Panama, whom Patrolman Young, weighing 210, said had given him the strangle hold and tried to take his gun during the arrest of Donald. Suner was held in $1,000 bail for Special Sessions on a charge of assault and was released on bond.
Witnesses Framed?
When Grant testified against the cops last Tuesday he also stated that he heard them say, "All this evidence we want to frame up." This was just a few moments prior to the arrest of Suner, Grant said. Attorney Smith branded Grant's arrest as high handed intimidation on the part of the police, and Magistrate Dodge "got hot" and declared that it was his opinion that intimidation was not being practiced by the police and inferred in open court that it was being practiced by The Amsterdam News in its reports of the entire case. Marked copies of The Amsterdam News had been sent to Magistrate Dodge, who also stated that it seemed to him that an effort had been made to influence his judgment in the case.

section of the League of Nations.
He will return to America in the fall to complete his studies at Princeton.
Mr. Rockefeller Jr. will own the majority of stock in the new bank, which is said to be the result of organization work that has been in progress for two years. The establishment of the new institution is said to be the result of a suggestion made to Mr. Rockefeller by a group of prominent Harlem Negroes that greater banking facilities are required to serve adequately the banking needs of Harlem.
The bank will be completely equipped in personnel and facilities to carry on every phase of a national bank business, including a compound interest department to encourage individual thrift. Facilities also will be provided for safe deposit boxes.
Arthur H. Thien, also of the American-Irving Trust Company, will be vice-president, and George C. Loomis, formerly assistant, auditor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, will be cashier.
The directors of the new bank are: J. Howard Ardrey, vice-president, National Bank of Commerce; Edward L. Ballard, chairman of the board, Merchants' Fire 'Assurance Corporation; R. C.

Insulted Negro Officer; Judge Suspends Sentence
After being informed that the wore five armed gangsters presse at the Performers' and Entertainers Cafe, 2225 Seventh avenue, Patrone John A. Johnson and Charle Lehman of the West 135th street station went in there to "fris them early Thursday morning.
Mr. Bruce stated at a public meeting Friday that some time ago he tried unsuccessfully to establish a Negro bank in Harlem, managed by Negroes. He then proudly announced the Rockefeller banking project.
Mr. Bruce denied that he suggested to Mr. Rockefeller the building of the Dunbar Apartments, as is generally believed, but that it was Mr. Rockefeller's own idea.
May Repeat Dunbar Experiment
Additional tenements houses, which may perhaps be constructed on the Dunbar plan, are to be constructed by Mr. Rockefeller along the Harlem River from 151st to 155th streets, and extending over to McCombs place.
Andrew J. Thomas, architect, representing the Rockefeller interests, told the commissioners some time ago that if some building restrictions were obviated more tenements would be built. Their construction is now assured by the action of the Commissioner of the Sinking Fund in approving map changes.
The detailed plans, however, cannot be gone ahead with until after the ground for the new houses is put in good order and the proposed ramp at 155th street and Harlem River is finished, The Amsterdam News learned Monday.
Mr. Thomas announced that the proposed new tenements were inspired by the success of the Dunbar Apartments, which house over 2,000 people comprising over 500 families.
Unidentified Woman Found Dead in Hall
The body of a well-dressed woman, as yet unidentified, was discovered at 6:15 Monday morning in a second floor hallway at 2041 Fifth avenue by Alexander Blinn, a tenant, while on his way to work. Patrolman Clancey of the West 123d street station arrived on the scene and summoned Dr. Herzog from Harlem Hospital after notifying the Medical Examiner. The woman was pronounced dead by Dr. Herzog upon his arrival and her body was ordered removed to the morgue at Bellevue Hospital.

Insulted Negro Officer; Judge Suspends Sentence
After being informed that there were five armed gangsters present at the Performers' and Entertainers' Cafe, 2225- Seventh avenue, Patrolmen John A. Johnson and Charles Lehman of the West 135th street station went in there to "frisk" them early Thursday morning. No guns were found. One man was arrested.
Paquale Prisotti, 32, white, 811 East 150th street, said to be known to the police as a gangster and third offender, resented being searched, especially by Patrolman Johnson. "I don't take orders from no black so-and-so," he said to Johnson and picked up a bottle of ginger ale and attempted to assault him.
Johnson subdued the Italian after a hard scuffle and arrested him on a charge of disorderly conduct. When arraigned in Heights Court before Magistrate Dodge Prisotti was found guilty and given a suspended sentence.

Monarch Elks Make Merry on Trip Up Hudson River to Bear Mountain
Monarch Elks Make Merry on Trip Up Hudson River to Bear Mountain
Voyage Interspersed With Drunken Brawls Which Ended at Pier in Stabbing of Woman-Officials and Police Tried Hard to Keep Order.
Was everybody happy? Hey—hey! Why shouldn't they be, with wet goods aplenty among the 2,800 folks that nearly pushed the S.S. Clermont out into the stream before it sailed with them up the Hudson Thursday to Bear Mountain, where Monarch Lodge 45. I., B., P. O. Elks of the World, gave an outing. Judging by the manner in which the mob stampeded the ship and climbed over the sides like pirates of yore, a gang-plank is a useless ornament.
The score of drunken brawls during the day ended up at the pier when the boat docked and everybody pushed and shoved and fought to go nowhere but home. During the melee Margaret Williams, 38, 2743 Fifth avenue, was shoved by another woman and a fight started in which she was stabbed in the abdomen.
guage dripping *with allime, the crowd indulged in bitter harangues, jaws singing, filthy dancing and vulgar love-making, drank liquor continuously, and hurled epithets at each other, both jocular and sincere. Youths and adults screamed vileness at each other.
The wound was not painful at first and Mrs. Williams had decided to do nothing about it. She began to bleed so badly, however, that she had to be removed to Knickerbocker Hospital. Physicians there say her condition is -improving. Detective Beckley of the Harbor squad is searching for Mrs. Williams' assailant.
On the same day several hundred children and their parents were given a free outing to Bear Mountain by the Virgin Island Congressional Council and they sailed on the S.S. Myles Standish. Abraham Butler, a passenger on this boat, was taken into custody by the police at the Bear Mountain pier and placed in the lockup on a charge of resisting arrest. He was fined $25 or 25 days and was unable to pay the fine.
Breaks Thumb. Arrested
William "Slim" Pollock, 33, 23 Fleet street, Brooklyn, while dancing in the pavilion, fell and broke his right thumb. A policeman took him to a doctor whom Pollock is said to have refused to pay for the treatment. He was arrested and fined $10 or 10 days, and got the days. Pollock was said to have been intoxicated at the time.
James Robinson, 45, 309 West 14th street, was arrested by Patrolman Byrnes when the cashier at stand 13 complained that Robinson had been abusive in his language. Robinson was fined $25 or 25 days, and got the days also. Both Pollock and Robinson were passengers on the Clermont.
Joe Brown in Action
According to Captain William Wilde, white, of the Clarmont, Detective Joe Brown, of the 135th street station, had the value of a small police force in keeping disorder at a minimum. Almost every half-hour by the watch a scramble and a clatter could be heard on one of the three decks, signifying that somebody's "arguifying" had come to a fistic climax.
Detective Brown prohibited crap games and card playing.

Eubanks claims further that a part of his claim was removed during two operations which he was forced to undergo following the development of lockjaw, infection of the mandible, and an abscess on the right side of the neck. He has been out of work since that time and is still unable to eat solid food. Eubanks is being represented by Attorney John William Smith, 26 Cortlandt street.

guage dripping *with* silme, the crowd indulged in bitter harangues, jazz singing, silky dancing and vulgar love-making, drank liquor continuously, and hurled epithets at each other, both jocular and sincere. Youths and adults screamed vileness at each other. Scores of Christian people asked the Lord's forgiveness for the error of their presence; they invoked His mercy for their safe return home. Many were heard to utter the vow, "Never, never again!"
The "Weaker" Sex
One woman filled to the neck with booze cut one man and two Elk officials almost at once when she became "unruly." It took seven men to get the knife out of her possession. She was placed in the lockup on the ship to cool off.
A pair of male pickpockets stole a man's pocketbook, and admitted it to Detective Brown, who demanded and received its recovery.
One man whom the detective said was one Ray Stevens had to be put in confinement for safety's sake after a fight in several threatened to gang him. Later on he slipped on the deck and gashed his head and swore publicly that someone struck him with a bottle.
During another, short scrimmage two women, expert in the use of blasphemy, gave an offending female a good trouncing. Another big drunken sister hurled a bottle at someone but, fortunately, it missed its mark and also left undisturbed the health of nearby passengers, who were quietly chewing, some chicken.
Still others threatened to throw each other overboard and two attempted to jump overboard, but were restrained.
The Elk officials did their mightiest to keep down disorder and the man who, besides Joe Brown, could handle any situation and put down strife was Frank "Country" Meyers, who certainly had a busy day.
R. N. Jackson's Melodian Orchestra furnished the jazz and waltz strains en route and return.
Henry Perry, 30, and John Rucker, 30, 2578 Eighth avenue, said by the police of Philadelphia to be implicated in a murder in that city, were arrested Sunday by Detectives O'Hara and Filster of the West 135th street station and charged with being fugitives from justice. On the same day Frank Waterhouse, 38, 307 West 144th street, charged with being a fugitive from justice at Boston, was arrested by Detectives Burns and Christiano of the West 135th street station. All three were arraigned in Heights Court Monday morning before Magistrate McCreary, who held them awaiting the coming of the respective authorities to take them into custody.

Jones, testified that he heard the screams, ran downstairs and saw a man standing on the mudguard of his car with half of his body in it, seemingly abusing his wife. He amitted drawing a pocket knife as a tool and stabbing Patrolman Woods, whom he did not recognize as a policeman because of the darkness in the vicinity and the fact, also admitted by Patrolman Woods, that he wore nothing to distinguish him as an officer except his regulation cap.
It was only after Patrolman Woods turned around to face him that he saw the visor on his cap and realized his mistake. He turned and ran north on Pleasant avenue when Patrolman Woods drew his gun. At the corner of 118th street he was stopped by Patrolman Howe and, as he stood there with upraised hands, Patrolman Woods shot him in the groin with his last remaining bullet.
Jones testified further that while Patrolman Howe drove them to Harlem Hospital, Patrolman Woods beat him up severely and tried to borrow bullets from Patrolman Howe to shoot him again. After being treated by Dr. Holt at Harlem hospital, he was transferred to Bellevue Hospital, where he was held a prisoner on a charge of felonious assault. His wife, Victoria, was also held for complicity in the act. Only recently they, were admitted to ball of $2,000 and $1,000, respectively. Junius Green, 168 West 139th street, was the bondman.
Attorney Wella asked Magistrate Smith to dismiss the case against Mrs. Jones, declaring that it was no case at all. He cited the decisions of other courts in cases somewhat similar in which the courts had decreed that the action had to be willful and premeditated to incriminate the defendant.
Casper Holstein May Oppose Wilson
Candidacy of New Yorker May Cause General Shake-Up.
With the leaking out of the rather sensational news in Elk circles, that Caesar Holstein would be an eleventh hour candidate for the office of grand exalted ruler in opposition to J. Finley Wilson, the indications are that the coming twenty-ninth Grand Lodge session of the Improved, Benevolent, Protective Order Elks of the World will be a turbulent and memorable one, instead of the calm and serene convention that heretofore appeared likely.
Holstein's candidacy had not been anticipated. It was to have been spring at the convention's opening next week.
According to the plans laid, should Holstein's candidacy really become a fact in Chicago next week, it will be a formidable one since it is likely to have strong support in Chicago, where the New Yorker has many friends who are powerful factors in Chicago's political and fraternal life. Among them are Loule B. Anderson, chairman of the local convention committee; James C. Martin, the first vice-president; M. R. Ribb, the second vice-president, and Charles S. Jackson, treasurer. Combined, these four men represent an influence that could do almost anything in the city of Chicago.
Wilson Ready for Battle Monday night in this city Mr Wilson announced that he was ready for a battle. However, the doughy little man who has for six consecutive times been elected head of the largest Negro fraternal organization in the world places little fear on Holstein's candidacy, and predicts that he will win again, fight or no fight for his job. The indications are, just the same, that Wilson is in for a good fight and that out of it all may come a general shake-up in the officers of the Grand Lodge.
Ben Bess Pardon Not Secured by
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received a letter from N. J. Frederickt, attorney for Ben Bess, confirming a newspaper report that the Master in Equity has found the confession upon which Ben Bess had been pardoned after thirteen years in jail had not been obtained by fraud.
Not only was no fraud perpetrated against the woman who confessed perjury in the original trial which sent Ben Bess to jail, but she and her son had ample time to acquaint themselves with the contents of the affidavit she signed according to the report of J. S. Townsend, master of Richland county. South Carolina.

THE WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM
A social worker's wife often has the privilege of traveling with her husband at home but rarely abroad. Mrs. Eugene Knickle Jones, however, accompanied her husband, who is the executive secretary of the National Urban League, on his first European tour, which lasted from early June to August 17. The third person in party was Mrs. Ross Vassar of Richmond, Va., mother of Mr. Jones.
Although the Jonesses went primarily on business, Mrs. Jones saw to it that the following cities were included in the itinerary; Paris, London, Cambridge, Venice, Rome, Nice, Florence and Lucerne. At the Olympics in Amsterdam she had the pleasure of seeing the events on several days.
In the Jones family are two children Eugene Jr., who attends Mt. Eugene School preparatory to his entrance to Harvard; Adela, who is now a senior in the Flushing High School.
Tenilis is Mrs. Jones' hobby, so without a doubt she and her husband will be "very much" at the Bordentown, N. J. matches this week.

Mr. A. S. Jackson writes from Rutherfordton, N.C. "I would get up mornings and my joints would ache. I would sleepy and stupid. I didn't feel like I wanted to work. "I heard of Black-Draught and how highly it was recommended. It certainly did me a world of good. So now I am working these hours all time. It keeps me in splendid shape."
Pains in your joints and muscles are often the result of poisons which have been in your body stead of being carried off in a natural manner. These waste products cause a great deal of trouble to many people, and much of the damage in many cases, by seeing to it that the bowels act regularly and freely every day. Theford's Black-Draught should be taken as an often necessary remedy, and then in a healthy state of daily activity.

OFTEN a man's salary is an index to his worth, actual and potential, present and future. A woman's salary, judging from The Daily News of August 18, is on a little different plane. Hers is often her "Open Sesame" to marriage with the man she wants; still hers may afford her a substitute outlet, such as a home (?), clothes, a car, books and theatre tickets, if she's been disappointed in love.
A girl who is earning more money than a man "would have a superiority complex," and she'd want to take her husband's place when it comes "to being the boss"—at least that's what some men said to The News' Inquiring Photographer.
"A woman who earns more money than a man would be an asset to a partnership," is what another man said about the matter.
If a girl is made of the right sort of material, her salary, because of the various opportunities it affords her, will help her to forget the much-talked-of "superiority." The man who possesses her as his wife — if he has any kind of "push" to him — will strive to do the things that will mean financial advancement for him. In the end, the two persons will be benefited, for the man (always believing he is mighty and masterful) will eventually have, through his study, perseverance, etc., a salary that equals and exceeds that of his wife — even if it takes him a lifetime to get it. I venture to say that in the final analysis the combined bank account, under such conditions, would surprise you. T.E.P.

Shaky Feeling
Severo Headaches
Miss Theresa M. Denning,
867 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 keep any time
in school. I was listless and
tired all the time.
"Cardui was recommen-
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 your ill.

Confidences Questions and Answers BY EGYPSY ANN
Who's to Blame?
Dear Ecopsy Ann:
What has happened to the cleanliving, moral girls and boys? Are they no more? Is it a crime to be good?
Why do most boys expect a girl friend or sweetheart to act as a wife to them? Why don't they respect a girl enough to marry her first?
It is the same story over and over again. If you love me you will and if you love not good-bye. Is that love? I thought love was sacred and clean. Egypt Ann. always believed that boy really had much that he could not do without her, he respected and honored her enough to ask her to marry him. I knew this is the twentieth century and that times have changed, but have morals; honor and respect passed away with years? Tell me, should I go on believing and have faith? I did hate my mother and be the rest? Truthfully, I believe there must be nice boys somewhere; finding one is like looking for a needle in a haystack. TWENTY-ONE AND DISGUSTED. DREAMS THOUGHT AND DISGUSTED.
Dear twenty-one and Disgusted:
Many girls who feel you do are drawn from the right path only to regret. We particularly feel and do a man worthy of you. He may be near you now, or in the West, South or Paris. You'll know him when you see him because your inner minds will attract each other. You, ask why a man doesn't respect a girl enough to marry her first. Most men figure that if they can get what they want without binding themselves—so much the better!
Yes, if a boy really loves a girl he can't do without her and he wants her to be his real wife. Remember they have many temptations and many disillusions.
They see married women violate the laws of honor. They become hardened and disgusted, as a result. But they can be shown the finer side of life and it's up to girls like you to show them.
Save yourself for the right one.
He does exist, but we can't hurry
such things. Look your heat always
and be wide awake on all subjects.
That you are intelligent, I can see
from your letter. Try to mingle as
much as possible with girls of your
own ideals and through them you'll
meet nice boys.
Sincerely,
EGYPSY ANN.

Alhambra Enters Another Year
Progressive Management Has Meant Much to Former "White Elephant."
On Monday the Alhambra Theatre started on the second year under its present progressive and popular management.
It is interesting to note that each week of the year the theatre has produced its own shows of the musical comedy type-52 in all.
Also since April when the triple program policy was inaugurated a complete dramatic skit has also been produced each week. Many of these dramas are specially written for the Alhambra Players and often are directed by the author in person.
It is said that approximately a half million dollars has been exchanged for the all rights of it, there in Harlem. A vast opportunity for talent and labor has been created, the benefits of which are felt throughout the community. The employee of the Alhambra Theatre has always been paid his salary in full and promptly when due. As a result an engagement at the theatre remains "at the heart of the bank" by members of the acting profession.
This year of buoy show production has required 7,500 different costumes and 518 sets of scenery or stage drapes. The number of displays of furniture have been utilized on the stage during the year. The Alhambra Theatre is the largest consumer of electric current in Harlem. An effort to find out how much food was consumed by the actors in the show, by the team working by the veteran stage manager, Al F. Watts, with the forlial answer:
I can't give you the exact figures. Sometimes the actors who have newly joined us are pretty hungry."

"Just a minute, friend, you can't come in here! Get a pass from out front. Those are my orders."
To have a stage manager who had welcomed you back stage for ten years hand you those few words would naturally make you feel peeved but when you had observed what a stickler to duty was that same stage manager, you simply, if silently, applaud his manliness in showing no inertism and carrying out the orders laid down by the manager of the theatre.
Perhaps Sam Craig, who happens to be the stage manager of whom we are speaking, knew that his orders came because the writer had seen fit to say some cacatic things about the theatre at which he worked, and whether he knew about it or not made no difference. He had his orders and you can't blame him if he smiled knowingly when the pass was presented and he admitted the writer.
We smiled knowingly, too, that night when the only colored hand in the United States Navy, by order of the then Secretary of the Navy, applauded in one of the public parks and we found the same Sam Craig take charge of the arrangements, looking after the comfort of the visitors lending a hand, as only a trained stage manager can. "How come she allwell?" we asked. "There's no pay in this and you are working mighty hard."

"How come, sir?" we asked. "There's no pay in this and you are working mighty hard."
"You have something to do with the appearance of this band here, haven't you? Who said anything about pay? I? Didn't. Did you? Can't a man come out and help a woman? I can't, sometimes and without being paid for it?" That was the answer of Sam Craig, which reminds us that the night of the benefit for the brotherhood of Sleeping Cat Porters Sam Craig, who has a special expectation of being paid. A few weeks before, when we had approached him, he again hurled these words at us: "You have something to do with it, haven't you? I am all my help are working with me."
We admit that we gladly join those who would tender some testimonial to Sam Craig next month when he would have rounded out fifteen years as stage manager at the Lafayette Theatre. A stage manager can do lot to help a man recording the doings of the people in the theatrical world, and Sam has done just that for us dur-

Theatre feel so inclined and think enough of their stage manager, who has worked so faithfully, to give him the theatre to celebrate his fifteenth anniversary, we will gladly do what we have done, and we have a success. It is only those of us coming into close personal contact with Craig who can appreciate not only his work has meant to many of his friends on the stage, but the newspapermen, who have always found him courteous and obliging.
Perhaps Craig will put in fifteen more years at his post and we are thinking that at the end of that year he will have to he look forward? True, he is being paid a salary, but let us not forget that he is a colored man, and colored men soldier, if ever, receive titles to while working in responsible positions.

Dancer Says He Has Backing for Broadway Show
Earl Dancer gave out the information Monday night that he has backing for another big attempt on Baskerville. Messrs. Johnson and Razat are writing the music for the new revue which Earl says will go into rehearsal. Coincident with Dancer's announcement of his new show came the information that the case instituted by a number of heurous girl scouts' agement for moneys they claim due them for the week when the Dancer show played the house was again present. Those familiar with things theatrical are still pointing out what they consider a strange proceeding in that since Dancer was the manager of the show he himself to enter in behalf of the people working directly on him. It is also said that Earl has been playing the past few days to again book a show in the Lafayette Theatre.

Gorgeous Revue Pleases Patrons
Anniversary Week Off With a Bang at the Al- hambra.
"Hurry for the anniversary! Let's have more of them," exclaimed a little girl named by the sixteen Alhambra Players as across the stage in the most gorgeous costumes Harlem has seen. This pageant comes as a sort of celebration of the Revue which this week celebrates the birthday of the Alhambra Theatre, After a deluge of fun, dance and song, the glittering girls were wildly entertained. Two, clever comedy girls are newcomers. They are Dinks Thomas and Florence Wilson. They join John Johnson, Justy Fletcher and Rachel Monroe. The Amanda Randolph and Charles Ray have a pretty duet, and afterward Kay does a lively dance with Ted Blumman. They are a hearty welcome for Elise Bennett, recently in musical comedy productions on Broadway. A holiday spirit pervades the entire revue. The Tenderloin, an underworld drama with redemption by mother love as its theme, is the offering of the Alhambra Players. George Randolph and Sutton play well their trying roles.
Barrington Carter' a veteran Harlem actor, has joined the cast, and will be astonishingly realistic performance Fannia Laine, Artic Coin and Billy Andrews all stand out in excellent characterizations in this forcible play of the life of a young woman. The photoy feature in the triple program has William Fairbanks and Eva Novak as stars. The picture is "Fighting for Honor," and it thrills the audience with toughness. The special midnight ramble Wednesday will be a gala affair. Some of the Alhambra favorites who have gone away to Broadway production will celebrate the anniversary with their old friends and associates.
Those two clever little girls, Mase Barnes and Lavinia Mack, got off to a wonderful start with the rest of the company at the Lincoln Theatre on Monday afternoon and if coming events cast shadows in the foreground, the week promises to be the bounty of the performance. Street house this week. It was a rollicking crowd that stormed the doors at the matinee performance on Monday afternoon and the show was encore many times in reward for the work at the performance in "A Night Of Pleasure."
Bob Williams, king of the ukeilels, started the ball rolling when he breezed on and told the Lincoln audience what was in store for them, and from then on every appearance of Bob was greeted with a burst of applause. Hace Hosee Williams, Walter Battle, Leonus Williams, William Jackson, Purgie Hot Six and Lincoln Steppers all received their share of the appreciation at the hands of Lincoln patrons.
To add to the gaiety of activities at the Lincoln this week, Mrs. Downs has secured another enticing picture in "Drums of Love." Evic Von Stroheim was the first to discover the acting talents of Mary Wilbin, the first to provide a splendid picture which will be shown for four days at the Lincoln commoncling on Thursday.
"Drums of Love" presents this charming star of the films in the greatest emotional role of her career with Lionel Barrymore, Don Alvarado, Tully Marshall and William Austin. For next week's offering the management of the Lincoln will provide a new show of Synfection, which will bring to this section of the city Jerome and Hamilton, Minda and Alberta, and Billie.
With an eye to the dancing possibilities of the sprightly chorus which has been gracing the stage of the Lincoln for the past few months, special duties include the public which these young ladies will put on for the edification of the public to start the week off in as big a manner as they did this week.
The Negro Invades the Grand Opera Field
H. Lawrence Freeman's Negro Grand Opera "Voodoo" will be produced under the direction of Valdo Freeman at Palm Garden (formerly the Fifty-second street Theatre, in New York) and on over fifty people. The cast is composed of the finest group of Negro artists available. There is a fine musician, the music of the finest musicians. The music is beautiful and very unusual.
"She Wolf" Dramatic Offering
At Alhambra Next Week
The second year at the Alhambra starts Monday with "The She Wolf; or the Price He Paid," as the drama. This play was specially designed for the occasion by George Pelivle. There's a vampire, cold and merilies, and her victim, helplessly infatuated, and quite a number of other characters. The action takes place in the gilded nest of the witchcraft. "Chill Peppers," called "a highly spiced travesty," will supply the comedy, music and dance part of the bill, abounding in surprises. The motion picture feature will be "Fire and Stoel," with Mary McAllister.
Muse Tells Actors' Side
By CLARENCE E. MUSE
returned to New York, Chicago, A, broke and hungry, and those who colored newspapers throughout the sheets from the T. O. B. A. stating, promises big season for actors, best salaries that are sure" and a lot of "Of course," these poor victims of the moment they read this gloomy officer's book. The great vandal of the colored show a race man, is president; Mr. Klein race, is the chief booking manager of territory of the T. O. B. A., also Midtatey answer all questions readily to a story and, before it is all over, a year of the desired effect, doncher.
At the beginning of the season, 4 weeks' contracts will be issued weekly. The terms of the contract other theatrical contracts, demand. But if the show falls to appear, the contract will earn, as I will expel the party of the first part, meaning with no protection at all. This is always the case, if the house read fifty-fifty, must have twenty or must appear, and if the failed contract demands that they fall to contracts that demand the sum of fifteen hundred dollars. But you, as he is not compelled to even and no liability, if you appear, there is seldom a show of this their share unless it falls on a moment can average fifteen hundred show-top salary, $1,200, take it or a railroad jump of $16 to $18. Now, note that for this $1,200 you must have at least twenty pounds of the salaries of the T. O. B. balance is given by the circuit, it will be an average of $20 per capita.
Many show managers have been poor victims of the T. O. B. A. bills and all kinds of unpleasant manager, and why? Please be mentioned and the terms therein. Theization to take care of the initial of the season, but they immediately, out shows which will advance you cash and your railroad tickets. Now at big picture, do a little at a time, Paul Robeson has ducers that the picture will not be a preview was shown at a theater afterward the Board went into coars and representatives of the producers that the picture will not be shown apparently, hasn't a Becher Stone woman who whore of this country, despite those who enologize the names of those who haven't the courage to sit in the a time in the history of this the most despicable in the annals of such a picture as "The Birth of a M Too bad.

We hope, if that time over able and would have returned to a tract proffered him there. Perhaps on the newspapers something about it will have the desired effect, doncher.
LILLYN BROWN
ON KEITH TIME
EACH and every year just about this time, when the colored artist has returned to New York, Chicago, Washington, from over the T. O. B. A., broke and hungry, and those who are trapped in parts unknown, the colored newspapers throughout the country receive official process sheets from the T. O. B. A. stating, in big broad headlines: "T. O. B. A. promises big season for actors, better shows, better railroad jumps, big salaries that are sure" and a lot of such rot. Of course, these poor victims of the T. O. B. A. are without choice and the moment they read this glad news they begin calling on many officers of the T. O. B. A., seeking contracts, either in person or by mail. The great man of the theater is president; Mr. Klein of Chicago, a member of the other race, is the chief booking manager of the Western wing, the most valuable territory of the T. O. B. A., also Mr. Sam Reevein of Chattanooga, immediately answer all questions readily and begin to elaborate on the publicity stories and, before it is all over, a contract is issued, and then your new theatrical year of sorrow begins.
At the beginning of the season, on or about Labor Day, six or seven weeks' contracts will be issued well-known producers and managers of shows. The terms of the contract are carefully worded, unlike any other theatrical contracts, demand that the show has or play contract. But if the show falls to appear, they pay and pay dearly even more than the contract will earn, as I will explain in detail. All of the contract is the party of the first part, meaning the manager of the theatre, and the party of the second part, meaning the show, which is only mentioned, with no protection at all. For example, if it is a percentage date, and this is always the case, if the house does poor business, the contract will read fifty-fifty, must have twenty or more artists, names of artists in show must appear, and if they failed to arrive, a liability clause in the contract, within which the show has damaged the theatre manager in the case of fifteen hundred dollars, sees it not to play you, as he is not compelled to even notify you only on a day notice and no liability, even if you appear, and he just doesn't care to play you. There is seldom a show of this size that can earn fifteen hundred for their share unless it falls on a holiday week. And when the management can average fifteen hundred dollars on percentage he will buy the show-top salary, $1,200, take it or leave it, or as low as $1,000, with an average railroad jump of $ to $15 per capita.
Now, note that for this $1,200 salary, with ridicules road jumps, you must have at least twenty people, all excellent artists with reputations, at least eight chorus girls, and you must order and pay for at least $100 worth of lithographs, and share with all newspaper advertising that the theatre manager contracts for, and, above all, $50 of this money must be paid to the T. O. B. A. as commission. The tremendous balance is for the salaries of the capable artists. And, with the average jump given by this circuit, it will leave about $100 to pay off all artists, an average of $20 per capita.
Many show managers have been branded all over the country by poor victims of the T. O. B. A. as thieves, won't pay off, jumping board bills and all kinds of unpleasant expressions in beating a theatrical manager and the team. Please keep in mind the above average contract mentioned in the text. There is no fund set aside for this organization to take care of the initial production at the beginning of the season, but they immediately encourage unpleasant artists to take out shows which will advance you on your first date from $200 to $300 cash and your railroad tickets. Now, instead of taking this cheap show as all big circuits do, a little at a time each week over a portion of twenty or thirty weeks, they demand and collect every cent on this first date. Thus starts the pawn brokers' department of the T. O. B. A. Each and every week you are hustling for an advance from the next date and only every third contract is a guarantee date, and many managers want advance money, hence the sudden "bust out." The pawn-bioker-must-buy paid and the starving artists are left unpaid. The manager of the show is branded as bad. The pawn broker has crushed his victim and the vandals of the T. O. B. A. are smiling over their prey.
The South Ashamed; The North Afraid
IT isn't often that it falls to an individual of color upon the American stage to see his work so effective that it leaves noth sections of the country "up in the air." That distinction has fallen to James B. Lowe, who will be remembered as the outstanding feature of the successful film, "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Last Friday a United Press dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., brought the following to the New York Evening Telegram:
Atlantans must go North if they want to find out why they can't see the moving picture, "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
The Board of Film Review has obtained a promise from the producers that the picture will not be booked here.
A preview was shown at a theatre here last Sunday, and immediately afterward the Board went into conference with Mayor I. N. Ragdale and representatives of the producers, out of which emerged the announcement that the picture will not be shown.
The South, apparently, hasn't enough guts to view the story of Harriet Bee, a woman whose name will never die in the history of this country, despite the sealing of the offshoots of the slave holders to eulogize the names of those who fought against the Union. They haven't the courage to sit in the theatre and see unfurried for their eulogization in the history of this nation, and incidents attendant thereon the most despicable in the annals of Christianity. But they can revel in such a picture as "The Birth of a Nation."
Too bad. The crackers would have had the opportunity of witnessing the splendid work of James B. Lowe, at whose feet England sent some of his leading men and women to sit in wonder, finding it hard to believe that this descendant of slaves could rise to such heights as an actor, and to be doubly surprised at his gentlemanly qualities and a culture which that same Southland would have dented him if it could.
This is just what the South stubbornly refuses to witness. The white ladies we leading part in the picture ran second to Lowe in point of achival, the film was viewed by a neutral public, just like Paul Robison has written for the pindits for his work in the London "Showboat" than any of the white ladies. After all is said and done, we should have a kindly thought for England. It was here that Iaidridge, Coloridge-Taylor, Williams and Walker. It was many other colored men and women had the stamp of approval placed on their work and won the recognition which the parvenu of this country grudgingly gives only after England has been fair.
Which keeps Mr. Lowe in the picture we are trying to paint. His success in Europe induced the producers of "Goln' Home" to dicker for his services and were successful. Mr. Lowe joined the company and was doing splendidly in rehearsals until the curse of race prejudice entered in to last few years. His rehearsal decided it was best to black up a white man to take the part. He did not digress right here and inject a pun to the effect that many a white man has been caught blacked up in that dear old Southland doing things he would not do or could not do if he did not pull a Jolson?
Even though it was only in the play, this person decided that by no stretch of the imagination was a colored man to the perceived to reach that place where he would be brought into close contact with woman. The book calls for the black man to tell the charming white lady that he "would walk through the streets of Paradise with her," in one place, and in another that "you are my little white dream lady." He could have cried, we also understand that one of the scenes is laid in English barroom with some charming harmals. Some colored men are needed to enter the bar and, while carelessly leaning over, with their feet on the rail, exchange quips with the pretty girls while the latter are dishing to the art an art. This, too, rumor says, was also too much for the new actress and she immediately decided that the men should be sitting at tables and the girls talking to them across the room. Wouldn't do, doncherknow, to let white Americans see the faithful reproduction of a true scene. Colored men; white women; proximity; ugh! Non, non!
So they found a way out and Mr. Lowe will not be seen with "Goin' Home" when it comes to Broadway. If the show is a success and the decide to send it to England, perhaps they will call in Mr. Lowe it will allow him to put him back in the place originally designed for him. We hope it will over comes. Mr. Lowe will not be available and would have returned England to accept some of the contracts proffered him there. Perhaps he will even tell his English friends on the newspapers something about why he is out of "Goin' Home" and it will have the desired effect, donchorkerh

Former Athlete and Promising Actor to Join "Show Boat."
Gilbert Holland, prominent Canadian an athlete who came to this country about a year ago to enter the theatrical profession, is leaving for Europe Aquatica, another take Paul Robeson plays in the London "Show Boat" company or, to be featured in another company to tour the continent. The success of the show Loews London has beyond the dreams of the producers and another company is already in the making in which Holland will be given part in the event of Robeson being in the original English production.
Personally, popular and a youngster who has made many friends, he can often be seen to go on advantage with Milior and Lyles in "Rang Tang" and in many smaller productions. Possessed of a fine voice, he is also known for good looks and stands about six feet. Holland was no stranger when he came to these parts to enter upon his career as an actor as he had before. He records on track and field as an athlete. On numberless occasions this paper had recorded his doings and diplomatic relations" with this publication shortly after his arrival. Few young men have left or will in the future leave this country for work. He will wish for success than Holland, and, as in the past, this journal will be the medium through which his success will be to his friends and thousands of his readers.
Ethel Waters Expected
To Sail for Europe Soon
On Tuesday morning Miss Ethel Waters had an important engagement at the William Morris Theatre in New York, where her signing contracts for a long appearance in Europe. At first hesitant about taking the big step which will carry her alone with her, she modestly hopes to conquer, she is now fully decided on making the trip if satisfactory inducements are offered. She has appropriate songs to work with and intelligent management, it is the opinion of the dramatic editor of this paper that Miss Waters will turn to this country in time with as much acclaim as others going before her.

HUDGINS STILL IN LIMELIGHT
One of the biggest midnight shows took place last Friday night at the Lafayette Theatre when a number of friends of the comedian and others who have been reading about him turned out in large numbers to do him honor. Bill Robinson led a plea for funds for the actors stranded in Santo Domingo, to which Hudgins responded and led with a contribution of $50. The comedian also gave the winner of the Charleston contest one of the dolls of himself made in France, Lew Leslie and other celebrities of the theatre were on hand.
A few night previous S. H. Dudley breamed into town and with Irvin C. Miller staged a private dinner for Hudgins at the La Rosa dining rooms.
Hudgins to Sue Act Grabbers
Comedian, Like 'Bojangles,' Issues Ultimatum to Profession
Although a number of performers have been using his act ever since he left the country to win the acclaim which greeted him in Europe, Johnny Hudgins bided his time and upon his return issued an ultimatum to the many young gentlemen lacking in creative ability to do something of their own.
Like "Bojangles" Robinson, Hudgins is not against those imitating him when they have the decency, or Josephe Baker, to give him credit for what are doing.
The culmination came first Saturday night when he visited a well-known night club and, in no uncertain terms, a member of the club of those who obtain. It is said that the man responsible for staging Hudgins' act did not take so kindly to the rebuke inscribed and continued to carry out its limitation.
Although the hour was late Hudgins got into consultation with his attorney and plans were laid to take him under the table, he understand, is copyrighted. Some time ago Bill Robinson became so emphatic in "telling the world" what he thought to the act grabbers, the engendered institution, the matter up and informed white American actors that the British public would be instantly informed moment any of them were caught trying to stall Robinson's stuff. The lack of material created by many of those "appearing in a moment any of them were evident to any person informed on the work of Negro performers during the past twenty-five years, and in indirect manner any person whose carlars should take heed of the tendency to steal their creations.

Vanities Score At the Lafayette
Vanities Score At the Lafayette
Work of Carey and Marshall Stands Out in New Show.
Another winner opened a week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday. Following last week's sensational show when record crowds came to see Johnny Hudgins and his fellow entertainers, patrons of the popular Seventh Avenue Theatre are again offered one of the most entertaining revues of its kind to be found anywhere in this city.
This week's revue is called "Creole Vanities." It was produced by Addison Carey and Jimmie Marshall. Monday's audience received the show enthusiastically. A continuous round of applause and laughter greeted the work of the players, each receivee and many received ovation. They made their call in P.M. so many encores were called for it was after six before the final curtain rung down. No greater compliment could be paid to a show by the audience.
The cast of Creole Vanities is exceptionally good. It includes Jackie Mabley, Clint and Marie, Margaret Bockett, Theresa Mason, Baby Patty, Putney Dandridge, Sonny Lee Weaver, Wilson Williams and Talia Carter and Bragg. The show is one of the best Caray has ever trained and the music is rendered by an excellent ten-piece band under the leadership of Tom Whalley.
As an added treat, and in response to the requests of scores of patrons, the management of the Lletayet Theatre also added Clayton Hates, the phenomenal one legged dancer whose remarkable dancing was the sensation in last week's show. Rates does some new steps and received the same thunderous welcome that greeted his every appearance last week. For sheer entertainment, Creole Vanities ranks with the best musical revues ever offered to Hammond audition and it speaks well for Carey and Marshall as they are producing shows at the Lincoln and Alhambra Theatres. The photoplay feature for the week is "The Big Nose." This is Allen Dawn's latest super-production. Alice White and Chester Conklin are the featured players.
Collapsed on the Alhambra Stage
Lawrence Chenault Suffers Breakdown Last Friday Afternoon.
Quite a furore was created back stage at the Alhambra Theatre last Friday when Lawrence Chenault, one of the dramatic actors at the theatre, suffered a breakdown and virtually fell out. Chenault, it is said by those closely acquainted with him, is in need of a long rest and he will be forced to be away from his work for some time. Chenault has been one of the most versatile performers in the Negro theatrical profession for more than a quarter of a century. In the days of the Lafayette Players appeared at the Lafayette theater under Robert Levy. Chenault forged to the front as one of the best men in the dramatic art and was very popular.
Years before the greater part of his work was done on the musical comedy state, and many New Yorkers will remember him in those plenial pints he portrayed in the original Smart Set Company with Hogan. A regular matinee with him was the toast of many a night he was the toast and has remained as a discipline and has passed which gave to theatreregions far superior shows than is the case in the present day.
Some weeks ago Chenault was creepily affected by the death of Johnny Woods, the ventriloquist, as they roomed together and had known each other for many, many years. The sudden passing of Woods had its effect and many see in the falling out of Chenault time when he was playing a part in most week's show the effect, together with the need for rest and physical rehabilitation which he will now be forced to heed to.
Sandy Burns Coming to the Lafayette Theatre Next Week
"Wishes," "Bille" and "Apus," one of the funniest combinations of havers on the American stage, will hold forth at the Lafayette Theatre next week in a new musical comedy w巡旋 called

Tom Mix Kidded;
Will Morrissey Skidded;
Wife Gets Black Eye
As If In support of what we had to say anent the tendency of some people to continually "kid" others, came a United Press dispatch to the New York Evening Telegram on Monday telling of the mix-up at a social affair in Hollywood between Tom Mix and Will Morrissley, motion picture actors, the other night.
Morrissley is said to have indulged in "kidding" Mix constantly when the climax came to a head on Sunday night. Morrissley opined that Tony, the horse owned by Mix, would make a hit in the talking movies, but he couldn't see what chance Mix had.
When they got outside Mix hung a haymaker on the kidder's jaw and he skidded for quite a distance on his face when he hit the ground. In the mix-up Morrissey's wife is said to have got in the way of the action and now she is nursing a black eye, bruises on the arm and other parts of her body, while five stitches were taken in the scalp of her husband.

WILLS PLANS EARLY RETURN
About a month ago the dapper Georges Carpenter announced his intention of returning to active competition in the squared circle with the idea of ultimately getting another crack at the heavyweight title.
An announcement from South America a short time ago that Luis Firpo, who packed a million thrills on two-round tie with Jack Deppey, was training and would leave for the United States shortly was material for plenty of comment.
Harry Wills, who attracted interest at Ebbets Field last Wednesday night, especially when he picked the 220-pound Roberta Roberti off his seat and lifted him over the top rope as though he were a toy doll, packed in the amount of Humphrey J. Fugazy one day last week that he also plains a return to the heavyweight ranks.
Like Signor Robertl.
Wills, always a rather silent chap (he probably got that way from his long association with Paddy Mullins) has seldom warmed up to a subject the way he did about Roberto Roberti.
"You newspaper fellows all said there has been a great improvement in Roberti in the last year. Well, I want you to watch him in the next fight. He'll he even better.
He as boxing under orders for those rounds and wait as tired as he seemed by any means. We intended to send him out to swap punches with Risko in the seventh and then you would have seen how good he really is.
"You can say for me that Robert would have stopped Risko in another two rounds. He stopped Risko in his tracks every time he hit him, with that right and had he followed his adjoining he. Would instructed to box carefully, however, and that is why he did not go after Risko when he hurt him.
"Yes, sir," finished Willis, "that boy Roberti is one great prospect, but he'll be even better in another year." Ill for Pauline Flight.
for James Fight.
Little Jake Sharke great little bantamweight of new years back, had been an interested listener while Wills was speaking.
"Say, Harry," put in the little italian, "just what was the matter with you the night Paulino knocked you out in four rounds at Ebbets Field."
The colored veteran then explained that he broke his left hand a week before the fight and that he was on the point of calling the bout off when he decided to go through with it rather than ruin Fugazy's show.
"They doctored" my hands with drugs complaining to Wills, in the effect of the notices made we weak and listless. Anyway, I know I went into the ring.

feeling more like going to sleep than
fighting."
Which may or may not account for the dreamy look in Harry's eyes as he set in his corner before the groom's arrival, the vitality of his left against Paulino. "Do you intend to fight any more?" he was asked.
For a moment Wills hesitated, then he slowly said:
"Yes, I do."
Aside from admitting that most of the heavyweights nowadays "don't know very much," Wills refused to discuss his comeback plans any further.
Havana Red Sox Trim Columbus, Ohio, 9 to 6
A crowd of 12,000 enthusiastic baseball fans watched the Havana Red Sox of Havana, Cuba, defeat the Columbus, Ohio, baseball club at the Columbus American Association Park, in their farewell contest in Ohio, by a 9 to 6 score.
The Havana Red Sox wound up their three-months' stay in the West as gloriously as they had started and their victory over the Scherzert combine climaxed their games for this season in the Ohio state. Breaking forth in the third inning with an attack that netted them five runs, the Cubans were always out in front.
Hinkey Haines, the local's starting hurler, was chased off the mound in the fifth inning, Jim Ryan, who relieved him, allowed the visitors only three scattered hits, but the damage had already been done. Leffty Tlan pitched excellent ball for the Havana nine. The box score:

CONCORD NOSED OUT THE JANES
By JESS MANBECK.
In a hard-fought battle to decide second place in Section II of the Brooklyn Sunday School Baseball League, the Concord Baptist Sunday School nine outed the Janes (N. is O. K.) M. E. team by the score of 2-1 before a large crowd at the Parade Grounds, Prospect Park, Brooklyn, last Saturday afternoon. Provious to this game both teams has won eleven and lost three games.
Lefty Harris, star boxman of the Franklin alne High School team this past season, won the game for Concord by his masterful pitching. Of the thirty-two men to face Harris he retired twelve on strikes, walked one and only one ball was hit to the outfield. He fanned the side in the second and eighth. The only run made of him was forced over the plate in the ninth when Harris walked Bedell and hit King, after Miller and Dicknesdar reached first on errors; he then whiffed next two men to retire side and end the game. He also beat Joe Walery, former Manual Training High mound ace, performed on the hill for James M. E., but was nicked for a hit in every inning except the eighth and ninth.
The Concord Baptists tallied the first score of the game in the fifth. Rube Niles led off with a single to left and was sacrificed to second by Stevens. When Dickneider threw first on Collins ground, Rube Niles clapped the plate in the seventh the Concord boys added another tally. Stevens filed out to center, but Collins jammed a single to left, Jim Mitchell followed with a single to right, but Collins was declared out at third when he pushed the third baseman as he came into position. Rube Niles put Mitchell on third and he scored when Ted Higgins dropped a two-bagger in deep left field. Harris filed out to the shortstop for the third out.

Institute Grid Men Looking Forward to Hard Season
BY JIMMIE CLARKE.
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Aug. 17.
The Hampton Blue and White eleven is taking on the usual schedule with C. I. A. A. teams and also one outsider, West Virginia Collegiate Institute. To say that the schedule is hard goes without argument. The soft spots in the schedule will be so hard that only a team with championship caliber will be able to weather the storm. From the first game, which is with Virginia Seminary coaches point for Hampton, if it happens in coming through with a victory they may have their efforts have been well spent. Coach Gldoeon E. Smith, along with Director Charles H. Williams and Captain George E. Byrd of Wilmington, N. C., is looking forward to an interesting year. Hard work has got to be done in order to pass A. I. A., who has no idea of releasing Virginia Seminary, who came within an acre of whipping Bluefield mountainer combinations in Roanoke, Virginia State College, under Coach Martin, has taken on altogether new life and appears to be a serious contender for the crown; Lincoln, who is striving to regain lost honors on the gridiron; West Virginia Collegiate Institute, who does not desire she please with her rivals West of the Allegheny; and scare into the Seaside camp during Thanksgiving Day.

The West Virginia Collegiate Institute game will go to Charleston. W. V., on November 17. This game will mark the first time that the Seaside eleven has gone West. The Charles eleven are looking forward to this big interstate game with much interest. The first game in the schedule with Virginia Seminary will be played at Hampton with a part of the crowd of spectators sitting in the new section of the all-concrete stadium. A section will be completed by then and it will hold about 1,500 people. The stadium is being built by William E. Lee, who is shown in the football circles as "Wildman" of the best tackles that ever good work. Besides being a good tackle, the captain of a championship team in 1926, all C. I.

SPORTS UNION TO STAGE MEET Particular Stress Laid Negro Athletes to Participate in Events.
Far from putting up any restrictions against the participation of Negro athletes in its athletic meets, the Labor Sports Union of America is making special efforts to secure entries from colored sports clubs for its second national meet, to be held at P. S. A. L. Field, Brooklyn, N. Y. on August 25 and 26. The Labor Sports Union, which has its national headquarters in Chicago, has a membership totalling more than 5,000 and has more than seventy illiterated clubs. The L. S. U. is a strictly amateur pro-labor organization. In its principles there is contained a clause to the effect that "The Labor Sports Union is national publicodies and separation in sports." In line with this principle the Labor Sports Union in all of its activities has endeavored to draw in colored athletes.
An outstanding example of interacial activities sponsored by the Labor Sports Union was the first interracial tennis tournament promoted by the union in Chicago in August, 1927. Approximately eighty colored and sixty-five white tennis players took part in the men's which exited considerable comment in the local Chicago press. In the coming national meet at P. S. A. L. Field, the program will include all regulation track and field events as well as soccer games and mass drills. On Saturday night's swimming meet will be held at the Washington Pools, Coney Island. All Negro athletes are urged to send in their names and the events they wish to participate in. In the Labor Sports Union Olympic Committee, 15 West 126th street. Excellent medals will be awarded to the winners. An entry fee of only 25 cents is being charged.

KUTE COMMENT By OMIC
Sentence Reduced.
A SEPANATE TRIAL for each of his crimes was accorded a notorious Serbian criminal who was captured in Valveyo last year, resulting in the imposition of sentences totaling 760 years and two death sentences for two murders.
The criminal appealed to the Court of *c* Cessation in Belgrade, which ordered a new trial. As a result, the period of hard labor was reduced to 120 years, but fifty-eight death sentences were imposed.—We are inclined to believe that the fellow got a better deal this time. In New York, for example, what man would want to stick around 760 years with "fappers," "gold-diggers," "bootleggers," "Numbers bankers" and what not to make life miserable for him?
Hard to Choose.
to six months in the workhouse when arranged last week in Harlem Court on a charge of impersonation in a similar conviction, and only recently two other cases were reported whose names we do not recall. However, we are merely pointing out that if half of the Negro race is tuming white, one-half of the other half is trying to be women, there will be no other course for the remaining one-fourth but to become "plims."

When a jackass learns to shag tenor, and the rattlesnake walks on legs; when the razor-back shout grows feathers, and the milk cow acts on eggs; when the bluebird mates with the wodpecker, and the hoot owls mate with the wren;s; when the bulfrog calls on snowy wings, and the sapaucer chums with the heens; when cotton grows on fig trees, and apples hang from the rose; when Catholics rule the United States, and the Jews grow a straight nose; when Pope Plus is head of the Klu Klu Khan in the land of Uncle Sam; then Al Smith will be elected president, and the country won't be worth a damn.

"Triangle Blues."
By combining a series of well acted dramatic sketches with a very fascinating musical melange the "Triangle Blues," now being presented at the Triangle Theatre, Seventh avenue and Porry street, has packed an evening with rapid, stimulating and unfalling entertainment.
The group of playlets are entirely negroed in substance, both as regards cast and character. The music was extracted from the compositions of Maceo Pinkard, Clarence Williams, Spencer Williams, J. C. Johnson and W. C. Handy. Kathleen Kirkwood is the producer; Hemsley Winfield director and Luce Ruffin business manager.
The writer was surprised and favorably impressed by the remarkable singing of Waldine Williams, soprano. It would not be exaggerating to say that she elevated the Negro Spiritual to a sublime conception during her rendition of Harry Burleigh's "By an By." We found out later that she is studying under Prof. Alexander Gatewood of Brooklyn.
The entire cast, a very young one, showed more vim and pop than is evidenced by the average theatrical revue. With one or two exceptions, they are all amateurs possessed with an abundance of clever talent.
The task of picking out the individual stars is a difficult one which, in fairness to the entire cast, we shall not attempt. Those who helped to make the presentation, a success of Williams, Plorie Miller, Wesley Norman Jr., Katherine Henderson, Albert W. Patrick, Roy de Coverley, Ardelle Dabney, William Ruffin, John Scott Jr., Hemsley Winsfield, Eva Vingo and Dorothy Reddick.

The commandment to love thy neighbor as thyself seems not to apply where colored people move into white neighborhoods. The bugaboo of Nordic superiority is said to be responsible for a large white tenement house at 880 St. Nicholas avenue being thrown open to colored tenancy. In fact, Sojomani Piley, 11 Manhattan avenue, and a group of permanent business men have bought the place, which is valued at a little over $250,000, and contains about thirty-six apartments, of five, six and seven private rooms each. The building is a six-story structure of brick and lime, with an elevator. There are now fourteen vacancies there among the thirty-six white families. The apartments are to be sold to Negro tenants on the co-operative plan through the Manhattan West 147th street. The renting office on the premises is open daily until 5:00 p.m.
The promotors are placing the apartments on sale today. The prospective tenants will not be asked to form their own corporation, nor to purchase their collective purchases. It is reported, but need only to buy their own apartment without reference to the other tenants. The new owners call attention to the transit facilities nearby, the Fifth Avenue, the Lincoln, the South and Ninth avenue "L", and the new subway at the door.

Celler Berates Federal Judge
Congressman in Scathing Telegram Denounces Action of Atwell.
The indignant cries of helpless defendants, suffering from the severe "Justice" imposed upon them by Judge William H. Awell of the United States District Court of Brooklyn, have at last reached the ears of Congress in the person of Congressman Emmanuel Celler of New York City.
In a signed telegram received by the Amsterdam News Monday afternoon from Congressman Celler, the latter expressed himself in no follow-up.
"It cast no aspersions on the Federal bench. It is honorable in the main, but some, in the name of the need to be taken by the servit of the neck for rebuke and punishment... The unjustifiable rebuke given to M. F. A. Serri, a member of the law Court, was Alwil. meritis condign criticism." In another part of the telegram, Congressman Coller voice the unjustifiable rebukes defendants when he declared in effect that the one was irritated and the other was bullied by Judge Atkins. He stated that he could not hope to get a fair trial before him. His capricious comment, his imperious ways and his severity in imposing prohibition are aroused the citizenry of Brooklyn.
"It would be well for him to mend his ways," warned Congressman Cellers in conclusion. "His irregularities as yet do not arise to high crimes and would undoubtedly impach him on the floor of the House next December....In the Sixty-ninth Congress, I introduced a measure to provide a method of discipline for Federal judges. There is no way now,见此案件,apart from the numberome and political a means to be expedient.
Some Federal judges selected for life sometimes become most despotic. They are not compelled to face the electorate; there is no day of voting for them. The NOBUSS OBILGE. The Serrt case emphasizes the need of my measure becoming a law. It sets up a disciplinary tribunal composed of the Chief Justice of the United States and one District Judge from each circuit.

Mothballs Soaked in Liquor Good for Rheumatism
"I soak mothballs in it and use it for my rheumatism," said John Barnes of 1070 St. Marks avenue last Monday in the Federal Court. "I was a judge, Judge William H. Atwell of Dallas, Texas, who is sitting in Brooklyn, to explain the possession of some liquor. By this answer he escaped with this judge. This judge has gained the reputation of being very severe on those who sell or possess liquor and generally gives a jail sentence for those who have been found guilty of violating the laws of this law were before him. Those who were found guilty of selling were given jail sentences. Five white men who were found guilty of possession were fined from Dallas. Barnes escaped with the smallest fine. Judge Atwell is the same judge who caused quite a stir last Saturday when he stated from the bench that "Negroes and white people should not live together."

Simonich lived up to his reputation of being a put-taker. Joe can still take 'em—it was his iron jaw that withstood a volley of punches in the eighth round that would have sunk nine-tenths of the average middleweights.
Butte Boy Wins Only One Round.
Our score sheet of the battle, round by round, was as follows: Dixon won the second, eighth and ninth, while Simonich took the third and the rest were even.
Dixon lacked the aggressiveness that has been his fault in all of his former fights—he waited until the late rounds to open up and that no George opened up from the first gong like he did in the latter rounds he'd have walked in and might have simonich to the island of pink elephants.
Simonich, with his ability to roll off punches—the style that fooled the champion, Walter, Latto and Duncan, kicked him. George stood flat-footed time after time and took pot shots at Joe chin and only hit the air like the Mikhail. He day he became famous by running out with the bags loaded.

Dear Mr. Sporting Editor:
Your comments on baseball in your issue of last week were very timely and most interesting and ample more than I can express the kind things you say of my efforts and ability.
Baseball is, as you say, a hobby of mine and it has wonderful possibilities for the bettering of the conditions of a large number of our folks, and for that reason cannot be taken lightly. Organized baseball has not sure the time is opportune, as I am most heartily in favor of
A Right Hits Target Hard. In the eighth canto Simonchon's son's punches the wigwag but a right hook connected with the button and Joe did a waltz on his heels and reeled to the ropes. Three more straight right hits with everything on the land and on boy's chin and it looked like he was going to sing "For She's Only a Garbage Man's Daughter and She Lives Down on the Swill." but Joe, the son, was still through a light battery attack of punches and smothered the colored gladiator the rest of the round.
Joe Toussad Haymakers A-Plenty.
The makers that were tossed from the floor, and don't think they missed Dixon—he moved in and in and got em on the chin and bridge-work on the eyes when the fight ended. Both were very, very tired and the final song was welcome as they stood too everything in the book at each other and hoping that a right hand smack would explode on the chin and send one or the other west and a knock-out both on their feet when the decision was rendered. As said before, Dixon should have won, but a draw was popular it didn't hurt anybody, so they cry! It was some battle and both are to be congratulated.
Casper Holstein Gives Cup To Departing Cricketers
The West Indian cricket eleven sailed for home Saturday on the S. S. Van Dyke of the Lamport & Holt Line. During their stay here the West Indians played twenty-six games without defeat. They won twenty-one games and drew five. At a dinner tendered the team before sailing silver cups were presented to V. Brooks, E. St. Hill and B. Sealy. Brooks received the cup presented by J. C. Phillips, treasurer of the club, for having the best batting average of the tour.

After a stubbornly contested two rounds the colored boxer unintentionally hit his adversary in the groin and was disqualified. Gaines being awarded the decision.

Hilfdale and Homestead to Play for State Honors
BY BILL DALLAS.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20 — Ed Bolden, manager of the Hildale baseball team, recently announced that he has just completed a nine-game series with the Homestead and the Pittsburgh championship of Pennsylvania. Five games will be played in the vicinity of Pittsburgh and four here.
The trip will cover a period of about ten days, the Daisies playing in the first two games, and They go to Baltimore on Sunday, Sept. 2, and then return home for two games on Labor Day. The following day they are in Lewiston and Palmyra, where the Series with the Grizzlies begins on Sept. 6. Games will be played Sept. 7 and 8, a double-header being staged at Forbes Field, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday, and the contest will be decided in Cleveland.
On the way back, Hilldale appears in Uniontown and Johnstown. They reach Philadelphia on Thursday, Sept. 13. The Thurday and Friday games will be played Forty-eightth and Spruce streets. Two games will be played in Darby on Saturday. The Grays claim the Stes Negro title and there will no dispute about the matter following the setts. The Homestead age is than the line-up.

Bud Spratley Loses to Joey LaGrey Friday
Bud. Spratley, highly touted colored welterweight, provided little opposition for Joey LaGrey, undefeated French-Canadian batter, in the 106th Infantry Armory last Friday night and Joey walked off with an easy decision.
LaGrey took every round and was seldom called upon to bring all his slugging powers into play.
Both boxers scaled 146.
LaGrey battered the New Jersey scrapper with both hands to head and body during every session and several times had Bud primed for a knockout, only to let up just when it appeared certain he would flatten the ultimate loser. The colored boxer's kidneys were a bright red from the consistent body pounding LaGrey subjected him to from start to finish.
The seventh stanza seemed as though it would result in a sure knockout loss for Spratley. The French-Canuck drove him to the ropes with a flurry of left hooks and right crosses and then brought his head up with a right hand uppercut. Spratley's hands dropped to his sides and he was open for any kind of a punch. LaGrey failed to follow his advantage.

won't ever champion his former out Bruno Frattini, European middle Sunny Williams, in fourteen rounds heavyweight champion of Australia, heavyweight champion of Australia, and Wady, then heavyweight champion of Wady, if you care to know, is "My man is ready for Tommy and Jimmy Slattery. He is the next world. Who can I pick him?" the "Interviewer, and the latter made for pick him?
NO doubt some of our readers have been looking forward to that time when we would jump in and help to denounce Gene Tunney, now that he has announced his retirement. They are most likely thinking that Gene should be the object of a good swing from the anvil chorus; but we simply fall to see it that way. Mr. Tunney drew the color line as soon as he became world's white heavyweight champion, thereby furnishing what our friends trained in Latin would designate as the "casus belli." To us it was a declaration well worthy of the longshoreman's son who rose from the slums of Greenwich Village to a commanding position in the fastic world and the winning of an heftess in a manner those of us left without enough romance will applaud. Jack and Andy and the others preceding him, while having enough courage to win ringlands higher than those, would have to face the issue like Tunney. If the controlling boxing had run the game on a fair scale, the white boys would meet the colored fighters, the evidence of this being seen in the fact that a former hobo had the nerve to run out of a fight with Harry Wills, simply because the latter happened to be colored and, at the time, the white champion's equal. Panning Tunney on the basis of his love for the better things we consider out of line, and it ill becomes those white writers of sport to be so inconsistent as to poke fun at the things considered laudable by the best minds of the land.
One must get money, and plenty of it, to indulge in the finer things of life, and there are many sacrifices to be made. Tunney was not cast in the mold of a "good-fellow," whatever that means, but he saw the opportunity to get the big money, although he knew, beaten the odds, and others of that kind never appealed to Tunney. He had nothing in common with them and simply did his work to the best of his ability, biding his time and looking forward to the day when he would be able to get away from it all and seek his own level.
Despite the fact that, he was born of poor parents, his nature called for him to seek the society of men and women of culture. He had a natural love for reading and it opened up to him visions that the lowest element which surrounded him, but of which he was never a part, could see. When he could afford it he allowed God's Country to the great Outdoors. He felt the heart, he heard the call of the open heart, the gentle lapping of the water on the side of his canoe as he glided along on lake and inland sea. He hears music in the quietness of nature where others would only be satisfied with the shouts of the mob. Tunney would be the happiest man alive if the morbid crowd would just leave him alone; if those pests of the press would refrain from making life hideous by ever prying into his private affairs and allowing him to lead the even and quiet life of a country girl, he would be able to enjoy the English countryside at this time of the year is the most beautiful, and there he has gone to rest from his labors while walking over ground made hallow by some of the world's greatest minds.
Upon his return to his own country Tunney will take as wife the young lady who has given him a great deal of inspiration in his upward climb. This young woman is not of that class that is drawn to Tunney because of the glamour surrounding him as champion, but because of his love for the world and his love for man. We congratulate the white fighter for reaching the ideal towards which he aimed. We can do no less in our fight for fair play at the hands of our white overlords.
LEO FLYNN BOOSTING "TIGER" PAYNE
LEO PARNELL FLYNN, the "Old Carpet Bagger of Flatiana," who did all the talking for Mr. William Harrison Dempsey when the one-time "Mansass Mauler" was preparing for his jousts with Jack Sharkey, the Loud Lath, and Gene Tunney, the retired gentlemanly scholar, is back once more doing his old stuff.
The "Gray Fox" is chattering again and this time not about the come-back aspirations of Jack Dempsey, who, to all intents and purposes, has retired and taken up the drama, but about a new discovery, one Tiger Jack Payne, the "Omaha Tiger," a Senegambian socket who promises to make the current crop of the light-heavyweights take to the storm cell.
Payne made his New York debut at the Garden a few weeks ago and to say that his introduction was in the nature of a sensation would be putting it rather mildly. Payne startled the fans when walking down the aisle toward the ring. He looked more like a fellow going toward the dals to be awarded his sheepskin from the college president. He wore a mortar board and gown and in his right hand he carried four Shakespearean works. Shades of Gene Tunney.
Then to show this effect at the "colorful" was not out of order, he proceeded to go to work on Joe Monte, one of Johnny Buckley's Beantown light-heavyweights. For five rounds Payne kept after Monte, work on the body and draw with such disastrous effect for his victim that Monte finally got out of the tight pinch by committing the unmandatory foul.
Payne, after cleaning up around the Pacific Coast three years ago, winning over Maxie Rosenbaum in his last start, went to Australia and won every championship from wetterweight to heavyweight. He knocked out Bruno Prattini, European middleweight champion, in three rounds; won the heavyweight champion of Australia, in two rounds and Johnny Squirtz, heavyweight champion of Australia, in one round. Payne knocked out Ernie Wady, then heavyweight champion of the Antipodes, in one round, and Wady, if you care to know, is a 205-pounder! "My man is ready for Tommy Loughran, Leo Lomski. Pete Latoz and Jimmy Slattery. He is the next light-heavyweight champion of the world who can click him?" the "Gray Fox" fired this question at his interview, and the latter made for the nearest exit. Yes. Who can lick him?
RYAN STARS FOR THE HILLDALES
Darbyites Took Both Games From the Bushwicks
The Hilldale Club of Darby, Pa., scored two victories over the Bushwicks at Dextor Park Sunday, taking the first game, a heartbreaking affair, by a score of 7 to 5 in 14 innings and the second, which was cut to seven innings, by 8 to 2. Red Ryan pitched remarkable ball for the Hilldales in the first game after the Bushwicks had bumped him for five runs in the first inning. The homesters were completely mystified by him after that, although they managed to get eleven hits, one less than the Hilldale total. Bill Durbin started in the box for the Bushwicks and lasted four innings, giving way to Stan Baumgartner, who waged a keen duel with Ryan until the fatal fourteenth. Eddie Gerner, with four hits in six times at bat, and Warfield, with three in six, were the batting stars of the game.
The Hilldales got two runs in the first and two more in the second. They fled the score in the fifth and thereafter it was nip and tuck and naught but horse collars until Baumgartner weakened in the fourteenth.
Warfield opened the disastrous frame with a single to midfield, moved to second on Macauy's side and then to third, with a single tilted him after Lewis fanned. Johnson's single with wild pegs by Bauunggartner and Maffind allowed Charleton to score. Bushwick Hopes Go Glimmering, with a half with his fourth hit, but Howard Lloh hit into a double play and the Bushwick* hopes of a rally went glimmering. Six hits held the Bushwick to seven hits held the nightmare, while the Hildaleas packed into Hill Hocken-
bury for 12 safe wallops. Dallarl,
with a double and a triple, in four
times at bat. but was the batting hero.

Sees Another Dixon in the Promising Youngster Called Kid Chocolate
It isn't often that Eddie McMahon, brother of the popular Jess, the matchmaker at Madison Square Garden, takes a picture with aighter, for he has been in the game for a long time and he has seen many a palooka come and go in the game. But Kate, who, if you should ask, is the matchmaker at the St. Nicholas Arena, is wild for the young Cuban known as Kid Chocolate. The matchmaker cut victory over Johnny Greene of this city last Wednesday night at Mitchel Field, and then oninched matters for keeps when he knocked the white boy in the sixth round.
As we were about to go to press last week the following letter came from the matchmaker by going over the lines you will readily see how his chance in this city the coming winter:
New York City, Inc., 66th Street at Broadway, New York City, Aug. 18, 1928, Mr. Romeo L. Dougherty, Sports Bureau, Amsterdam News, City Bk, N. Y.
Dear Friend:
I want you to know something about the greatest colored fighter in the white knight and he hails from Cuba. He tips the beam at 113 pounds and is the best fighter I have seen since the days of little George Dixon. He has half being brought here by Louis Gutierrez, the same man who brought Black Bill to this country. Dan Hickey thinks Chocolate is the best fighter today. He has a wonderful record. In Cuba he fought as an amateur and lung up the wonderful record of winning eight red fights. He has never lost a fight and has never been on the floor. In his last start as an amateur he knocked out Johnny Cruz, who bantam champion of New York.
As a professional he has the record of having won twenty-six lights, twenty-two games, and included the putting away of Angel Diaz, featherweight champ of Cuba in four rounds; Pablo Blanco of the same place, junior world champion; and he has had three dights since coming here, winning by a knockout over Eddie Eunce, three rounds; had Nick Salvo on the floor when somebody hit him; and John Green, who was K. O.d in six. I am going to open the St. Nicholas Rink on September 10 with Chloe McCarthy in boy action you won't be afraid to tell the world about him. He is a wonder and I don't mean maybe.
Yours truly, EDDIE MECAHON.
GANS GETTING STIFF TEST
Coast Fighter to Meet Harry Felix This Wednesday Night
Baby Joe Gans, junior welterweight from the Pacific Coast, who meets Harry Felix of the East Side and undoubtedly Gans, will be Fugazaj's all-star card at Eubbets Field tonight, is the uncrowned junior welterweight champion, undoubtedly Gans, who will both in the West and here speaks for itself. Incidentally, Gans is growing into a full-fledged 147-pounder and is going to go after Joo Dundee's title. In Felix, the clever East Side, Gans is meeting the slifteat test he has been asked to encounter in the ring. The clever and the type most likely to bother Gans the most, it is Felix's speed and cleverness that brings the match up to even-money shot. The main envirorment between Gans and Felix is the same, and Jazy Grove of the East Side, is a return engagement that grew out of their first battle when Levin coped with the fourth round. Referee Tom Sheridan called the blow fair, but Grove contends to this day that it was a low punch and also that he will win. Grove was very anxious to get the return shot, so confident is he of victory.
Traveling eastward, Slovenia, Pe., was the next victim of the Havana Red Sox when they took over the home club here. Morrens was the winning pitcher.

Farmers Stopped Cuban Stars Last Sunday P.M.
While Oehme of the Farmers held the Cuban Stars in submission, his mates bunched hits off Ruiz and Junoela to score a 11. The factory at Junoela had Saturdays noon. About 2,000 people saw the contest. The visitors made both of their runs in the second session when Oehme became a trifle wild and acquired two prizes. Combined with a single by Ruiz, scored Fabre and Bragna.
The Farmers had two big scoring innings, getting three runs in the first three, three more in the third. The odd tally was made in the sixth. The score:

Many Out to Witness Annual N. Y. State Open Tennis Championships
Hoage's Ability as Referee Was Never More in Evidence Than in His Handling of the Many Entries and Smoothness All Around.
(By FRANCIS.)
One of the largest tennis galleries witnessed the finals of the Twelfth Annual New York State Open Championships last Saturday afternoon at the E. and S. tennis courts, 141st street and Fifth avenue. Eyre A. Satch, New York's premier racket wielder and former national champion, and Miss Ora Washington of Philadelphia, national women's doubles champion, both won the two most important events, the men's and women's singles.
The tournament got under way last Monday, under the guidance of the veteran referee, Dr. D. Ivison Hoage, with an entry of about 150 contestants in the various events; but, so well did Dr. Hoage and his assistants weed out the field that, even with the addition of an added event, women's doubles, he was able to present the semi-finals ready for play on Thursday night.
The tournament was Friday and Saturday opened as if the final stages of the tournament would have to be played at some other time, but by 10 a.m. the sun came out and the clouds rolled by, and from that time the E. and S. courts were one of the busiest places in Harlem. The entry of out-of-town players was exceptionally brilliant, and when we mention such as Ted Thompson, national men's single champion; Edgar G. Brown and Eyre Satch, both former national champions; Dr. E. D. Dewing, No. 3 ranking player; Richard Hudlin, Ken Words, the No. 1 brother of Hamilton and a few others, it will be seen that no man had a clench.
The women's event was well represented with the national singles and doubles champions, Lulu Ballard and Ora Washington of Philadelphia; Mrs. C. O. (Ms) Seames of Chicago; Blanche Whinet and Anita Gant of Washington; Miss B. Dolphin from Texas; Miss Gladys Jamerson of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Rosa Nixon from Chicago.
Two upsets marked the earlier rounds when Mrs. Lotte Wade bow, Mrs. Emmon Leonard in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1. The other was the defeat of Dr. E. D. Downing of Roanoke, Va., who went down to defeat at the New York; also in straight sets, 6-3, 10-8.
With the exception of these two surprises, the rest of the field went down in regular order, and the semifinals brought together K. Hughes of Brooklyn, the upper brackets, and Edgar Brown and Ted Thompson in the lower.
Brown, showing the same brilliant and unerring form that he was best known as master of, vanquished the national champion in straight sets, and was able to time with Hughes and came home under wraps by the score of 63, 60, 3, 6, 6, 2. Brown's match against Thompson showed such good form and so much power of strokes when he wanted to, that there were-sweat that did not think that Salch would have his hands full in the final, but Thompson had and matched stroke with stroke, wits with wits, and while it appeared to the gallery that Brown was running Salch all over the court, Thompson had the results showed that the New York youngster had the situation well in hand, for he defeated Brown in three straight sets at 63, 64, 6.1. Salch by his victory secures his and beautiful Saxon triumph.
In the women's event Miss Washington gained her final bracket at the expense of Mrs. Frances Gittens and the final match that at one time looked as if the Philadelphia jasse was doomed to defeat, but playing as doggedly as she always does, Miss Washington rose to great heights in the final match. The other half of the women's bracket plitted Miss Lulu Ballard and Mrs. Emma Leonard against each other, but though Mrs. Leonard won, Mrs. Leonard upon to give the champion a battle, she lost in easy fashion by the score of 6-2, 6-0.
In the final of this event Miss Washington faced Mrs. Leonard and after another hard battle Miss Washington secured permanent possession of the Braithwaite Trophy, presented by the Braithwaite Business School of New York City, having played on it in 1953, 1952 and 1953. R. Hildall, St. Louis, and Mrs. Leonard, New York, defeated Jas. Trotman and Mrs. E. Conick in the mid-1950s and New York State championship, 6-4, 6-4.
The Women's doubles went to the National Champions, the Misses E. Bailard and O. Washington, who deferred to M. F. Gittens and Miss A. Sant. Thompson and Salch won the men's doubles from Hughes and Work, the latter pair losing their match. Keenan Brothers in the finals-finals in a hard five set match that required sixty-five games for a decision. Reggie Weir, the best junior in the New York State champion, easily defeated H. Morrow of New Jersey, 6-0, 6-1. Young Morrow played a wonderful game to defeat G. Norman Jr., who after losing first set, and H.
first set 6, and being behind in the defensive that won that set 10,8, and swept him on to the deciding set at 6-3.
So much good tennis was seen on Squires that won the match left the place until the last set was finished amid the approaching darkness of the evening.

SALEM-CRESCENT GAMES AUG.26
On Sunday afternoon, August 28, the Salem-Crecenter Athletic Club will conduct a set of membership games at McComb's Dam Park. The program will consist of eight events for senior athletes and six events for junior boys. Not forgetting the girls, the Salem promoters have a range of two events for the fair madens to show their ability.
The meet promises to be full of thrills, considering the entry list. Several of the old-timers have signified their intention to perform against the younger group. The names of Roy Morse, "Bunk" Jones, Aaron Stancell, Herbert Kemp, S. Clarence, "Senator" Younger, Percy Verwynen, Ben Lauder, Howard Raid, and Charles Mock are a few of the stars of yesterday that will do the spikes again.
The younger leiows, headed by Bernle Blanchard, the New York County 100-yard champion, and Harry Boyd, the president of the club, are training morning and night to make the old men hustle for their well-earned laurels. Captain Blanchard expects Robert Howell, Eddie "Hot-head" Glies, Sumner Levy and Kenneth Robinson to do the heaviest scoring for his youngsters.
The two feature events will be the quarter-mile relay, married men against single men, Werry Moore, Pete White running, and the 12-yard dask for girls, with Miss Carte Mc Laughlin starting from scratch. The star, Charles Star, and Charles Major of St. Bonaventure College will officiate.

POLICE SHAKE-UP NEEDED
CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE in the Washington Heights Court, persons who went there to testify in behalf of Donald have been arrested; one, following a whispered and questionable conversation between a detective and an assistant district attorney, after which he was "identified" by a detective as the man who tried to wrest his revolver away from him; and the other, following his "identification" as a burglary suspect.
DESPIITE THE FACT that the attorney for Donald, through the magistrate, elicited from the detective a promise that the man would not be beaten while in the custody of the police, this man is reported to have shown evidences of having undergone a severe beating when he was in the police lineup Wednesday morning, Aug. 22. A detective admitted to a reporter for The Amsterdam News that it was necessary to "subdue" him.
ONE DAY LAST WEEK a policeman who had been charged with beating a man and his wife on the Third avenue elevated railroad was freed by a city magistrate for lack of identification, despite the fact that the man took the officer's night stick to the nearest police precinct, and this week's issue of The Amsterdam News records a still more striking instance of the brutal methods employed by the policemen in this part of the city, as revealed in the Harlem Court Friday before Magistrate Smith.
THE AMSTERDAM NEWS BELIEVES that it is time for Mayor Walker and Police Commissioner Warren to look into these charges of police brutality and take the necessary steps to purge the police force of men who are a disgrace to it. We do not believe that it is necessary for armed policemen to beat unarmed persons under arrest in police precincts.
WE DO NOT BELIEVE that it is fair for members of the police force to arrest men who go into court to testify against them and their methods. We believe that a policeman who attacks a woman and then shoots her husband for coming to her defense should be prosecuted by the law the same as any other common criminal.
"COLOSSAL BLUNDERS"
INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS OF
Virginia had a meeting last week, and
one out of it. The institute is mismaned
out of it. The institute is mismaned
with it, it is preoccupied with the Negro,
Western University told the institute that
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment
Lunder. Miss Engle of the Maryland
Paters said that the South would vow
because of his order abolishing race seg-
ment. Hudson Cary said that if the
sent were repealed the South would go
CULTURED WHITE MAN was heard to to-
"When will the South be civilized?" The
Question is: Never, as long as it puts its m
down a race. It has no time to de-
economic resources, science or art, beca-
s absorbed by the black man. If a South
accept the Einstein theory, it is no exag-
esis his first thought would be: "How does it
question?" Every movement designed to
the status of a human being is a "colossus
of the South, not only the Fourteenth
measures, but the Emancipation Procla-
sion so was the election of Abraham Lincoln
enishment of schools for Negroes.
THERE IS ONE SURE WAY to make the
m. That is for a Republican administra-
tion to hold property, to learn to read
address in the courts or to move from one
and to cap the climax by repealing the
sent and returning the Negro to slavery
a not done we shall continue to hear o
THE INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS of the University of Virginia had a meeting last week, and the usual things came out of it. The institute is misnamed; it should be called the Institute of Negro Affairs. Like all gatherings in the South, it is preoccupied with the Negro, Dr. Hatton of Northwestern University told the institute that the enactment of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments was a colossal blunder. Miss Engle of the Maryland League of Women Voters said that the South would vote against Hoover because of his order abolishing race segregation in his department. Hudson Cary said that if the Fifteenth Amendment were repealed the South would go Republican.
A CULTURED WHITE MAN was heard to exclaim the other day: "When will the South be civilized?" The answer to that question is: Never, as long as it puts its main energy into holding down a race. It has no time to develop liberal thought, economic resources, science or art, because its passions are absorbed by the black man. If a Southerner were asked to accept the Einstein theory, it is no exaggeration to say that his first thought would be: "How does it affect the Negro question." Every movement designed to give the Negro the status of a human being is a "colossal blunder." In the eyes of the South, not only the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, but the Emancipation Proclamation was a blunder; so was the election of Abraham Lincoln; so was the establishment of schools for Negroes.
THERE IS ONE SURE WAY to make the South go Republican. That is for a Republican administration to forbid Negroes to hold property, to learn to read and write, to seek rodsress in the courts or to move from one state to another; and to cap the climax by repealing the Thirteenth Amendment and returning the Negro to slavery. As long as that is not done we shall continue to hear of "colossal blunders."

SENATOR CARTER GLASS IS WORRIED. He foresees the election of a Negro to Congress. A fair-minded person might say, "Well, what of it?" but Senator Glass is afraid the heavens would fall. His paper, the Lynchburg News, says that if a Negro is elected to Congress from Chicago he may be followed by Negroes from Pittsburgh and New York, and after that the Southern Negroes will want congressmen and local officers as well. To avert this awful disaster the Lynchburg News says that the South will need its friends more than ever, and mentions the Reconstruction days when Northern Democrats in Congress, especially Tammany Democrats, helped the South to keep the Negro down. Many people thought that the record of Tammany in regard to the Negro had always been favorable, but Senator Glass denies it. He also censures the Republican party for catering to the ambitions of the Negro.
THERE IS NO REASON WHY the Negro should not aspire to Congress or anything else. After the part he has played in the building of this country he should be represented in the councils of the country. The objection made to many of the Negro Congressmen in Reconstruction days, that they were ignorant and incapable, no longer applies. Today there are at least two hundred Negroes as well equipped for the office as the average Congressman. If, like other groups, the Negro were represented in Congress according to his numbers there would be at least forty Negro Congressmen, and the country would be no worse off than it is now. Senator Glass, like other Southern statesmen, spends his time dodging shadows.

THE MAN IN THE STREET
Letters to the Editor to be published under this heading should be plainly written on one side of the paper only, and should not exceed 250 words in length.
THE American people have hitherto looked upon Herbert Hoover as an engineer. With him, the thing counts more than the word, the deed more than the doctrine. When the hungry are starving, he does not weep—the feeds them. When the Department of Commerce is to be organized, embodying the spirit of the 'American genius, Herbert Hoover stands first among a hundred million whose capacity is commensurate with the momentous task. When the Father of Waters overflows his accustomed bed, deluging wide areas under his muddy flood, who but the great engineer is competent to cope with the magnitude of the disaster which this calamity entailed?
He is the only American who gained any great enduring distinction out of the World War. Eight years ago he was universally extolled by the American people and might have had had the presidency handed to him on a silver platter, extended by either party, but for the asking. But fame is fleeting, and he after the Civil War, if the triumphant generals marched down Pennsylvania avenue in January the trees would put out green leaves to greet them. But today the World War heroes, save one, evoke little or no popular acclaim. Herbert Hoover is that exceptional one. His name can still be conjured with. The great Republican leader and statesman didate puts him before the American people for their stamp of political approval.
Up to the present, Mr. Hoover has been known mainly through efficiency in which he is not out-distanced, even by the Germans. He has been looked upon wholly as an instrumentality, but now his personality as well is called into requisition. Upon his first weighing in the balance, he is not found wanting.
Investigate Police.
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
Dear Sir:
You well deserve the commendation you have received for the public service rendered in calling upon your dignified, esteemed spoken and fearless articles to the acts of police brutality alleged to have been committed on the occasion of the recent so-called Lenox avenue riot.
These numerous and oft-repeated charges against the police can no longer be ignored by those in authority. All the charges cannot be ignored. Where there is much smoke, there must be fire somewhere. Therefore, it seems to me that in fairness to the police and in the interests of public order and decency, there should be held without delay a public and searching investigation not only into this incident, but into the general behavior of the police force in this district.
I can understand and may even be willing to excuse a policeman who in the heat of a struggle forgets himself and strikes a prisoner; but there can be no excuse nor justification for the brutal and cowardly assaults on defenseens and only lodged in the guardroom of which we have so often heard.
Every decent citizen should of course be on the side of the law, and therefore should support every officer of the law in the execution of his duty, but when officers of the law forget the responsible position they occupy and degrade their office by flagrant and condescending conduct, which it is their duty to uphold, and thus bring their office into contempt, then the time is rife for all the friends of law and order loudly and vigorously to protest and to demand that these unformed violators of law should be immediately and severely punished. To do that, there be no whitenessing, but let there be a searching and impartial investigation.
Very truly yours.

On the broad issues of farm relief, flood control, economy in government, efficiency in administration and the general factors of prosperity, he simply said, "He is left nothing to say, except to repeat his sayings in another set of words. For, after all, these things are essentially non-partisan and can be appropriated by one or the other only as a matter of political logomachy.

apartment houses.
That the people of Harlem pay
high rent is no new discovery. Nor
is it a stroke of genius to say that
this high rent appears exorbitant
when compared with that paid by
people of equal or greater earning
power in other sections of the city.
Yet for their money the people of
Harlem get no adequate service.
In truth, their very comfort and health are unconcernedly sacrificed to increase the landlords' returns. Interiors of houses are allowed to go uncared for, cellings to rot and often to fall, bells to go of old or to ring no more, hardwearing with dirt and stench and cont to run low in winter. Such are but some of the prevailing conditions. There are two reasons for this state of affairs. First, caretakers receive inadequate compensation. Consequently, in order to make up for this insufficiency, they take care of many houses and do a lot of cleaning tenants show an indifferent attitude toward conditions. They willingly throw garbage down dumb-walters and into yards when it ought to be called for; pay for repairing damage in apartments when that is the duty of landlords and when they are paying for heat—but pay again for services for which they have already paid.
Accordingly, landlords shrewdly overlook their duties little by little. Soon they consider it no duty of theirs to look after the well-being of tenants and are satisfied to merely walk through the stonch of hallways for their rent.
Landlords demand their rent when it is due. Tenants, also should collectively and vigorously demand that landlords perform their duties as property holders.

cruts; it is not the personal notion of Hoover or Smith, but the basic conception of the American people. It is the party of course, strives to outbid the other in convincing the public that its policy embodies the better way. So far as these general principles are concerned, Governor Smith had as well repeat the address of Mr. Hoover, suggesting such modifications in the constitution in favor of varying political points of view.
The press of the country has about agreed that two party platforms are identical in substance and essence, set forth in different forms, to be applied to valiant political exigencies.
There is one great issue, however, upon which both platforms agree in formal expression, with the reserved understanding that the candidates would interpret in the tone of tribute and conviction. Upon the question of prohibition Governor Smith took the initiative. Before the ink was dry on the page, he wired from Albany to Houston his liberal interpretation of the Constitution. This forced Mr. Hoover to the position of a strict literalist, which now develops in harmony with his basic belief.
After all, the impending campaign will be waged not about the Eighteenth Amendment in its essence and purpose, nor yet about prohibition in the moral sense of the term, but about the definition of an intoxicating beverage, as defined by the Volstead Act.
The issue between Mr. Hoover and Governor Smith is based upon profound difference of judgment. Both candidates must be credited with equal experience, and yet the issue must be fought out on the basis of this difference. Mr. Smith believes that by liberalizing the definition of an intoxicating beverage the law can be brought into compliance, feeling and habits of the American people and make enforcement possible. At present he does not believe that the Eighteenth Amendment can be enforced on the basis of the oblitered Act of 1790, because observation abundantly prove that after nine years of trial under Republican auspices
"No Harm Done."
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
Dear Sir,
I do not know Mr. Ivan E. Taylor of 304 West 149th street, but judging him from his letter which appears in today's issue of your paper, I think he is one of our would-be intellectual high-brows.
I agree with him that some of "son-box-orators" are no most intelligent usus, but they do mimic militants, and I do not see in what way they are imposters.
They get a real thrill from speaking to hundreds, and the hundreds seem to like to hear them. Both speakers and hearers find in these meetings a means to break the drab sameness of life, and in spite of a heavy sprinkling of toffowolley, believe here and there a fair proportion of knowledge is given and received and no real harm is done.
These street-corner audiences consist of hundreds who have neither time nor taste for night school. At these street meetings they find diversion, recreation and some instruction. Any intellectual aristocrat or aristocratic intellectual is too stand-offish to mix with the common herd, and who falls utterly to appreciate their need, but in?
I say, let the orators orate and let the meetings, good, bad and indifferent, continue. The public will eventually do the slitting and the ignorance disappear.

the failure has been imamentable. 'We prohibitionists firmly believe that the failure to enforce effectively the Eighteenth Amendment is due to the lawless public sentiment which feeds on just such doctrine of liberality as Governor Smith and his adhocate provocateur. The amendment enforced there in a supporting public sentiment back of it. As long as the Eighteenth Amendment is made the butt and ridicule and jest in newspapers, on the stage, in Congress and in public and private assemblages, no government can make it effective. Mr. Hoover says that the failure that it must be asciedly observed by right-minded people.
The ratio had to be fixed somewhere. Wherever it is fixed, there it must remain until the principle is recognized and observed. Had it been the same, it would not chit, the same dissatisfaction would have arisen on the part of those who are not disposed to revere and respect the law. In the midst of the raging controversy, to tamper with the established position, Mr. Hoover would take the whole fabric of prohibition. Mr. Hoover, with his Puritan conception of moral principle, stands firm and proclaims that no jot or title shall pass from the oldeest law till its purpose be fulfilled. Mr. Hoover, with his support, Mr. Hoover, as a great man will uphold Governor Smith on the ground of party expediency. But the two stands are opposable in their very nature. The nation has put its hands to the gospel plow; it cannot afford to look backward without inviting disaster.
As Mr. Hoover has taken an upright and down straight stand on the Eighteenth Amendment, here is hoping that his position on the Fourteenth and Flighteenth Amendments will be less case and more and more consistent. This is the acid test of his moral consistency.
In his acceptance address he has told us that the Republican party does not stand for nullification by indirection. Will he also state with equal firmness that the Grand Old Party under his courageous influence has lost its honor for the nullification of the Fourteenth and Flighteenth Amendments by inaction?

Instead of asking your aid to drive these boisterous ignoramuses from the street, I am pleased to inform the gentleman, and all concerned, that these ignoramuses will always attract audiences and large ones too, for their audiences generally are made up of the common people, whose thirsty souls are ready and willing only from the fortunate of knowledge wherever it can be found.
Our college graduates seem not to find time for such invaluable service to their race, but busily engage in solving the inter-marriage problem, or lurking under the electric signs of Sovent avenue, or otherwise having a good time in Harlem's small apartments with the brown skins plus the hooch. So why the muzzle? For God, let them talk. We need a lot more.

"Red-Caps Lack Pride."
To the Editor of The Amsterdam News.
Dear Sir:
Kindly allow me space in your valuable journal to give publicity to a most deplorable state "of which is very hurtful to the pride and respect of the intelligent and progressive members of our group.
Reference is here made to the method employed by the Red-caps of the Pennsylvania Station in addressing one another in public, and at a very high pitch of voice, by the disgusting and contemptible epithet "Nigger."
Arose among within hearing distance of any two or more of these "boye" while on duty can surely attest to the truth of this indictment.
There is something revolting and mean about the term "Nigger," and the very persistence and emphasis with which it is used by white Americans and other Norwegians, indeed proof were needed of the atlantic it bears when applied to the black man.
Such Negroer, and there are many, who get a thrill by using
—Personality—
PERSONALITY is the sum total of the physical characteristics and the behavior in the life and growth of a human being. Some people are tall, while others are short. Some people are joyful and pleasant in their association with others; still others are pugnacious, fretful, petulant or morose. Some people are cowards, while others are brave. There are people who are restless and unable to concentrate; there are others who can be quiet for long periods of time to study, think and concentrate.
Some people are fat and some are thin. Many of these qualities, both physical and mental, are due to and controlled largely by the normal or abnormal action of the ductless glands.
The hittitary gland in the brain, the thymus and thyroid gland in the neck, the adrenal glands, one gland in the kidney, and the sex glands in males and females are the ducts—ductless in nature—manufacturing juices which are taken up in the blood and exert characteristic influences on the different organs of the body.
and blood circulation poor. Such people are no good in the morning but become brisk and more active toward evening. A person born with a normal good active thyroid gland has a great start in life and if careful against unhealthy and unsanitary practices will have much physical and mental stamina.
On the other hand, a person born with an inefficient thyroid gland is prone to physical deficiency and mental sluggishness.
Science does not know all yet of the actions of these glands, but enough has been found out through physiological researches to determine the glandular influences on personality.
Our destiny is largely in the hands of our internal secretions, the juices from these ductless glands. Apparently every person is what he or she is by reason of the presence of one or more of these ductless glands.
We can place in groups individuals who are as they are because they are controlled by their adrenals, pituitary, thymus or thyroid.
If the thyroid is overactive, then the person is alert, bright, emotional, restless, unable to settle at any one thing. If there is deficiency in thyroid action, then the person is heavy, requires a great deal of sleep, takes a long while to wake up; the height is below the average, the eyebrows deep, complexion sallow
Monumenta Monroe
Monumental Work by Monroe N. Work
By WILLIAM PICKENS
AT LAST it has arrived on Negro history and li do it — work and woe the Negro in Africa and Ame Wilson Company of New Yo
AT LAST it has arrived — the most monumental work on Negro history and literature. And it took work to do it — work and work. It is: "A Bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America," published by the H. W. Wilson Company of New York.
This is the first comprehensive bibliography of literature on the Negro and by the Negro. It will be more effective as a means of bringing the Negro to the attention of the world than any other book so far written or compiled.
It is classified and systematized, from introduction and table of contents and list of abbreviations to the appended list of periodicals and the most complete index. Of all the books on the word "Nigger" freely within the hearing of white people, should express neither surprise nor anger when confronted by the term in the novels of a Van Veebel and the conversations of white people.
Negro, so far, is the most useful; it is, indeed, the Book of Books.
It, for example, one wants to find the best books on African explorations, he will scan the table of contents or refer to the index and find: "Discovery and Exploration of Africa." It one wants the nineteenth century periodicals, he finds: "since 1800," beginning on page 18, and listing all the books worth while mentioning in the next ten pages. This great work, from title page to end of index, contains more than 700 pages.
When I called at the home of my friend, Dr. Anson Phels
All other races are assuring their manliness and pride in some way or other, but the Negro seems to think that he is the elect of God and all things will be well, if not on earth, in the glorious kingdom, eventually. He is informed that among the Red-caps the presence of any colored woman on the platform, she be lady or maid, is always the occasion for some disrespectful or ridiculous comment. Those men seem to be entirely lacking of that sense of honor and respect for their women which the white man prates so loudly about his, and outwardly at least takes care of them. A clean-up campaign by the press at this time would be of invaluable service, and with the aid of the Red-cap captains and the more intelligent within that group, this disgusting custom should easily be abolished. Thanking you, I remain, Respectfully yours. (Sinai REGIONAL) CITYNE. 128 Bradhurst Avenue, August 12, 1923.

and blood circulation poor. Such people are no good in the morning, but their health and active toward evening. A person born with a normally good, active thyroid gland has a great start in life, and if careful against unhealthy and unsanitary practices will have much physical and mental atamine. But the other hand, a person born with an inefficient thyroid gland is prone to physical deficiency and mental sluggishness.
The adrenal* glands are the glands of verity and successful initiative. In females, if these glands become overactive, then masculinity occurs. The adrenal glands meet danger either by fight or death. When a human being is confronted with danger, the adrenals—if active and normal—increase their secretion and influence the nerves and muscles for fight, flight or endurance. If the adrenals are deficient, in the midst of danger the person is easily overpowered on behalf. The future is bright for human beings in the treatment of many ailments and developing normal personalities. Medical science in the future is going to be able to postpone senility, regulate temper, prevent and control many diseases which now are not effectively treated. The means for this combination are overcome. We can be through a thorough knowledge of the activities of these duplex glands.

When I called at the home of my friend, Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, secretary of Yale University during my school days, of the books in his library, he inscribed to show me, Dr. Stokes is himself working out a history of the universities of the world, another monumental achievement, and of all the handy books of reference in his home on Massachusetts avenue, Washington, this book. His Work, and sometimes known as director of records and research at Tuskegee Institute, is one of the most useful.
The best authorities on bibliography pronounce this a topmost achievement. In my mind, as a work of patient industry and wide knowledge, it is on a path with Old Doctor Johnson's Encyclopaedia in early English letters. The "Bibliography of the Negro" is a logical evolutionary result of that other most useful periodical publication compiled by Mr. Work, known as "The Negro Year Book."
