THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News —Jules Bledsoe— GRAND JURY HOLDS WOMAN AND MAN IN BLOUNT SHOOTING Gladys McCarver, White Woman, Accused of Luring Harlem Cabaret Man to Scene of Crime, to Be Tried for Second Degree Assault. Echoes of the notorious Jeff Blount case were heard in Part I of General Sessions Court Thursday morning, when bail of $5,000 and $15,000, respectively, was fixed on Gladys McCarver, 20, white, a dancer, of 616 West 137th street, and Thomas Becker, a white printer, of Atlantic City, following their indictment by a Grand Jury in Criminal Court on charges of first and second degree assault. Blount, who is part owner of the Lenox Avenue Club at 652 Lenox avenue, was shot four times by a white man early on the morning of May 27th in front of 134 Haven avenue after, it is alleged, he was lured there by the McCarver woman, said by police to have been one of Blount's erstwhile flames. Blame for the shooting was fixed upon a blonde woman by the police upon the description furnished them by James Wolf, a white taxi driver of 134 West 166th street. Four days after the shooting, the white woman surrendered to the police, and is alleged to have made a charge of rape and assault against Blount, causing him to be held in ball of $2,500, although he was still confined to a hospital. The case was heard later in Heights Court before Magistrate McQuade, and both the woman and Blount were dismissed following a fantastic story related, by Blount in which he exonerated the McCarver girl of all blame for the shooting. The police then began a long search for Blount's assailant which ended in the arrest of Becker on July 25th by the police of Atlantic City.

Compelled, Nevertheless, to Hold Witness Who Testified Against Police in Bail for Trial—Recites Story of Police Brutality "I don't think there is a jury in the world that would convict him," said Magistrate Hyman Bushel, referring to St. William Grant, 28, 130 West 139th street, who was arraigned before him in Harlem Court Monday on a charge of burglary, "but I will have to hold him." Grant was arrested in Heights Court Aug. 14 the moment he stepped from the witness stand, where he had given testimony against the police regarding their alleged brutality from Clarence Donald, 36, 2328 Seventh avenue, whose arrest on Sunday evening, July 22, caused a near riot of 3,000 citizens at 139th street and Lenox avenue. Four police officers were injured. "There is something wrong in Denmark." said Magistrate Bushel, who infimated that he had his doubts concerning the case the moment he learned that Herman Ellis, white taxi driver, 215 East 122d street, the complainant against Grant on the robbery charge, was also a witness for the police against Donald. dilately after his arrest on Aug. 14, was held in $5,000 ball for the Grand Jury on the robbery charge.

Mencken calls Hoover a dose of aspirin and Smith a cocktail with real gin in it. For the serious business of running the United States a dose of medicine is better than a cocktail. Except for the proposal to amend the Prohibition Amendment by returning to local State option, the main points of the acceptance speech are attacks on the Republican party and the advocacy of States' rights. Saying that he will not rest his claim upon the misdeeds of the Republicans, the Governor proceeds to make seven lengthy charges against them. It has always been observed that, while Republican platforms and acceptance speeches tell what they purpose to do for the country, the Democratic platforms and speeches devote themselves to scolding the Republican party. A JEWEL OF INCONSISTENCY is the Governor's attitude on the relations of this country with Latin-America. He condemns Republican interference with the affairs of Latin-American countries and says it must cease. Evidently he would take the marines out of Nicaragua. But he has not a word to say about the American marines in Haiti, who were put there by his own Woodrow Wilson and who are still there, denying the Haitians a voice in the government of their own country. THE FARMERS are very optimistic if they expect anything definite from the Governor's statement concerning farm relief. He offers nothing except to call some leaders together and see if something cannot be done "to substitute action for inaction and friendliness for hostility." Such general statements will not grow many potatoes for the farmers. The Republicans cannot be justly charged with diately after his arrest on Aug. 14 was held in $5,000 ball for the Grand Jury on the robbery charge. Bond was furnished by Junius M. Green, bondsman, 168 West 136th street, who stated informally that he could not permit Grant to be exposed, again to what he believed to be the unjust and inhumane treatment of the police. "I believe your story," he told Grant. Riot Witnesses Intimidated Grant was represented by Attonnew John William Smith, former Alderman, 26 Cortlandt street, who told the court at the time of his client's arrest that such an act was "high-handed intimidation" on the part of the police in order to save their faces in the case of the near riot. Grant's was the second arrest of a witness in court, the first one being that of Pedro Suner, 21, native of Panama, whom Attorney Smith declared was "framed" by the arresting officer, Patrolman Irwin Young, white, of the West 136th street station, who charged Suner with assault on the day of the near riot. According to Ellis, Grant hired his cab on the morning of July 21 about 2:45 o'clock, lured him into a hallway and robbed him of a watch and $16 cash at the point of a gun. On the witness stand Grant gave an alibi, stating that he was home in bed at that time and that his brother, Samuel Grant, slept at his home from 2 to 6:30 a.m. on that day. His brother corroborated his testimony, but apparently became confused between Saturday morning and Saturday night, as he permitted Assistant District Attorney Joseph Martin from Heights Court to trap him by the question: "Did you go to church the next morning?" Thus arose the only flaw in what seemed to be an otherwise perfect alibi. James Harrison, laborer and minister of the gospel, 47 North street, White Plains, testified that Grant and he were employed by the same company during the week of July 16, at which time Grant was working in Scaraldale. Attorney Smith sought to prove by this testimony that Grant, being a hard working man, would hardly have any inclination toward highway robbery. Dormott Balloy, who was arrested and freed on a charge of disorderly conduct on the day of the near plot when he protested against the alleged brutality of the police upon Donald, testified in behalf of Grant at Monday's hearing. Mr. Balloy said that Grant had been lecturing nearly every night on the corner of 1838th street and Seventh avenue under the muspless of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Grant lectured on history, economics, politics and race subjects, Mr. Balloy said. On the night of the alleged robbery he said he accompanied Grant from the lecture corner to Liberty Hall, U. N. I. A. headquarters, in West 1838th street, and from there VICTIM TELLS OF POLICE BRUTALITY Says He Was Knocked Down, Kicked and Burned With Cigarette they went to a restaurant on Lenox avenue near 138th street and had something to eat. He and Grant then went to Grant's basement apartment, where he left him about 1:30 o'clock Saturday morning. Before he left, Mr. Builey said, Grant's brother, the new man, was in the apartment. Grant later testified to the same set of facts, as did his brother. Bushel Not Satisfied Although he did not say so, Magistrate Bushel's attitude seemed to indicate that Grant's arrest was a dirty piece of business. After it was disclosed that Grant had been at court every time Donald's case came up and that he had seen the complainant Ellis at court on the morning of Aug. 14, hours before his arrest in the afternoon, the magistrate said, "Is it probable that he (Grant) would return to court when he knew his own liberty was in danger?" Magistrate Bushel indicated that he knew reason for holding Grant on the robbery charge was because "a magistrate has no right to determine an alibi," which he said was a dangerous defense for any judge to rule upon. High Bail Denied Ball was originally set at $5,000 and was reduced to $2,500 when Grant was bailed out of prison Saturday morning, after spending ten days in the lockup. Assistant District Attorney Murray asked that Grant be set at $10,000, stating that "certain colored people upon whose word he could rely" had told him that both Grant and Donald were members of a vicious organization that had banded themselves together. Mr. Martin also stated that Grant had violently resisted arrest when the West 135th street station took him into custody at Heights Court, a fact which The Amsterdam News knows to be not so. Mr. Martin also pointed out that Grant had attacked Detective Webber at the Wadsworth avenue station, tearing Webber's clothes and clothing, and fusing, "cusing a doctor to say that the defendant feigned insanity." "That is the most remarkable statement I have ever heard from a district attorney," said Attorney Smith. "I didn't know the district attorney had such a personal interest in the case," he added significant. Ball was then set at the original figure of $6,000. Before Detectives Webber and Farrington led Grant away Attorney Smith asked the magistrate that he be protected against further assaults by the police. "It isn't necessary to ask that question," said Magistrate Bushel. However, Grant's immunity from a charge against Green the bondsman came to his rescue, as Grant was unable to pay for the bond. Grant's Own Story During the week of Grant's arrest Detective Webber stated that Grant, while he was being fingerprinted in the Wadsworth avenue station, grabbed him by the necklace and twisted him around to choose him and that during the tussle his clothes were torn off. He said that Grant fought to escape and had to be "subdued." On Monday afternoon Grant came to The Amsterdam News office and told in detail the story of what took place following his arrest at Heights Aug. 16. He denied provoking in any way the assault he said the police officers made upon him. After he had been fingerprinted he said that Detective Webber asked him if he was going to tell him about his alleged robbery upon the white taxi driver. Grant said he replied that he had nothing to tell he. He said he was not whereupon Grant said, Webber punched him in the stomach, causing him to bond over in pain. While he was in this position, Grant said, a "short colored fellow" kicked him in his mouth, which began to bleed. "I don't know whether or not this man was a detective," Grant said. "Then a big white detective had to come and beat the cops," and they began to beat me again and dragged me into another room." Grant said he screamed all the while they beat him and that the officers had drawn down all the window shades. Detective Farrington punched him also, he said. The officers threw him on the floor, Grant narrated, and kicked him the cops, then the big white cop (detective) will stamped me in the face with his foot," Grant avered. As they lifted him to his feet Webber struck him under the chin, he stated, causing his head to bump against a window and shatter the pane of glass. This attracted the attention of some white people in the neighborhood, he said, who also heard him give orders and they protested to the officers concerning their treatment of him. Beaten Second Time Grant said he was then taken in the car of Harman Hells to the West 123d street station, where mention was made again of his "framing white cops." Several uniformed men there helped to beat him the second time, and he was thrown in his face, they split on him and punched him in the sides again, he continued. "Why don't you say you look it (Ellis' watch and money)." Grant said Webber asked him while the short colored fellow pinched his arms and burned, the two officers, he burned, burned two places with lighted cigars or cigarettes. Grant displayed the two scars, one on the upper arm and the other near the wrist. Grant stated that he was told that if he confessed to the charge of robbery and also would say that Donald was the defendant, his triet attorney would see to it that he was discharged. "I will not lie on anybody," Grant said he told them. After his first beating in the Wadsworth avenue station Grant said he asked for medical treatment until he had had his second beating at the Fourteenth prescinct station. The next morning (Wednesday, Aug. 15), Grant said a white officer in uniform (shield number 14005, Grant stated) came to his cell and said, "So you're the guy who frames the iron bars with his night stick the patrolman struck him across the hand, Grant related. His Home Rabbed When Grant was arrested in Heights Court he gave his keys to Marie Simmons, also a Garveyite and a street lecturer, and Detective Webber had difficulty in making her give them up. In fact she refused to release them to the officer before the Magistrate Dodge aloud in open court. During Grant's incarceration his home was robbed of $402 and $550 in clothing, which included a Hudson seal coat valued at $225, which belonged to a relative. The cash was contained in a box of broom wood which Grant said he brought to work. When this box was on a ring with four other keys, which the police took from him. When the keys were returned to him this small key was missing. When he asked about it the police declared they knew nothing of it. A woman tenant in the house told Grant that during his absence she saw that a police officer like police officers enter the house, but did not observe them carry anything away. Two white children were killed, their mother and their little brother seriously injured, when an excursion was run from the office of the Inter-American Bank under the direction of Floyd G. Snelson Jr. and J. H. Sewell, was crashed into by a passenger automobile that sidedwipes another car at Syracuse and they valley turnpike, just West of Carazonan, about 2 o'clock Saturday morning. The Tattler bus was on its way to the Elks' convention at Chicago and had left New York about 7 oclock Friday evening. None of the passengers were in the car. The passenger car was driven by Mrs. David A. Hailer, white, 517 Park avenue, Rochester, wife of a prominent physician, who, according to Snelson, was on her way to Boss and was going east when her car arrived. The children attempted to pass the bus and struck another car which she did not see, going West. The Haller car swerved and crashed into the bus the driver of which drove it to a field and into a nearby field in an off-road collider. He was exonerated of all blame by the police, Snelson said. Snelson Tries to Save Child The Haller machine was demolished and was planned between the bus and the other car, which lost a wheel. Passing motorists assisted Snelson in dragging the mother and her children from the wreck. Shirley was on the car. Snelson drove with Sally Haller, 5, in another car, 14 miles to the hospital of the Good Shepherd. Sally died soon after being admitted to the hospital. David Haller, 5, was rushed to the Crouse-Irving Hospital, suffering from a possible fractured skull and broken arm. Snelson was at the Hospital of the Good Shepherd in a critical condition, also. A few of the bus passengers suffered slight bruises and cuts from flying glass. Because of a broken axle the Tattler bus, hired from the Budd Sight Seeing Company of Manhattan, was unable to proceed. The passengers but Snelson returned the return of their money, but Snelson prevailed upon them to wait for it. The bus party remained in Syracuse Saturday night and took an ex- cause to Chicago, where, where they are reported to have driven them trip to Chicago by train. Poolroom Manager Accused by Barber George. Mitchell, 40, 254 West 129th street, who gave his occupation as a poolroom manager, was held in $2,000 bail for the Grand Jury when arraigned before Magistrate Bushel in Harlem Court Friday for felonious assault. Bennie Jacklin with the same address, arraigned with Mitchell for complicity in the act, was found not guilty and dismissed. The complaint was Hattwell Corbin, a barber, 248 West 129th street, who told the court that during the dispute, Jacklin and Jackson he was tackled and thrown downstairs. He also suffered slight stab wounds during the attack. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1928 Policeman Hears Screams; Arrests Man Policeman Harry Hansen, of the East 126th street station, was walking through 118th street Sunday when he heard screams coming from the hallway of 11 East 118th street. As Hansen approached the house he saw a man run from the hallway. Hansen gave chase at the door. The man gave his name as James Person, 17, of 225 East 118th street. Person was identified by Dominick Domuscio, white, an ice-dealer of 76 East 105th street, as the one who assaulted and robbed him of $45 in the hallway of 11 East 118th street while he was delivering ice. Hansen brought Person to the police station and turned him in to Detective White. Person was held without ball for a further hearing when arraigned Monday before Magistrate Bushel in Harlem Court on 6 charge of robbery. Duelist Challenger Sent to Bellevue Alienist to Examine Wammack for Period of Ten Days Clarence Wammack, 32, who gave his address as the Press Hotel, 24 West 135th street, was arraigned last Tuesday in Part 1 of General Sessions Court under an old provision of the Penal Code which makes it a felony to challenge another man to a duel. Upon the petition of Attorney Samuel Feldman, white, who was assigned by the court to defend Wammack. Judge Donnellan ordered the defendant committed to the Rollene Hospital to determine his sanity. Approximately three weeks ago Wammack wrote a challenge to Dr. Nathan Fox, a dentist of 2143 Seventh avenue, to a duel with pistols because he was dissatisfied with the police. He complained done for him. Dr. Fox complained to the police and Wammack's arrest followed. In the old days of the English Common Law, a colonial settler was considered insane if he failed to challenge an enemy in the house he was living in. The enemy "to the seaker of redress who runs risk of being considered insane.

Atrocity Staged Prior to Democratic National Convention A bitherto unpublished report saying that the lynching of a colored man in Houston, Texas, just before the Democratic convention convened there, is engineered by local police, is relayed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, from "Variety" for Wednesday, Aug. 1. The report of the Houston lynching in "Variety" reads as follows: "An unprinted story of the lynching of a colored man in Houston by policemen of that city, just prior to the Democratic Convention, seems to have been known by all the newspaper men in attendance, notwithstanding the fact that no account of the correspondents that the roping bee was smoothed over by the authorities. It would not sound nice, they decided, for the world to know that Houston policemen violated the very lynch law that the South has been trying to square for years. "A night or so before the Convention opened a cop and a Negro fired shots at one another. Both were hit and taken to a hospital where the officer died. The same night a dead cop uniformed pansions went to the hospital where the still unconscious Negro had been taken, removed and hung him from a bridge near the outskirts of the city. His body was cut down the next morning. "That the cops had done it spread over the inside of the city. Housetowns were filled with dilemmas, thought to bespeak the advice of four other Texas Mayors on how to hush up or keep quiet about the cops as the lynchers. Only one reply contained a suggestion thought worthwhile. That is said to have come from the Mayor of Dallas, who also five men be pinched and held until after the Convention ended. "Accordingly, from the story, the police of Houston picked-up five local vagrants on the lynching charge, told them to behave or they would get the limit afterward, otherwise later let loose, and even made one of them write a confession. "As far as any of the newspaper men know, that was end of the Huston beeing."

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Aug. 27. The enactment of the Fourteenth and the Fifteenth Amendment was passed on August 20. The Arthur R. Hatton, white, of Northwestern University, told the Institute of Public Affairs of the University of Virginia Friday. He also admitted that the working out of the race relations problem was a matter of the South, wherein the real problem has always pressed. "The North," said Mr. Hatton, "is no more anxious to interfere with the policies of the South than it is to have the South dictate to it. Fourth Amendment will realize that many of its reconstruction reforms have been blunders." Two queries were put forward by Dr. James K. Pollock, Jr.: First, if race is the one thing that keeps a Solid South, what is there to prevent the South from voting for Hoover, and, second, why does the South think that Smith would keep up racial barriers any more than Hoover? In the discussion that follo-ward was pointed out that the average Southerner connected racial equality of Negroes and whites with the Republican party and that they feared Negro postmasters in the South during a Republican administration. Dr. Hatton pointed out that the Negro population is predominantly Republican, but he is breaking away from it and voting to his best advantage. Asserting that he did not favor social equality between the races, Dr. Hatton said he recognized that some Negroes are not aware of the idea that some racial stocks show a lower political capacity than others. Replying to a query by Ralph Loussbury, as to why the Negro can't be controlled within the party in the South, Hunson Curry, of Fort Smith, Ark., and the Tennessee Amendment to the Constitution were repealed the South would go Republican. Many votes in the South will be cast against Mr. Hoover in the coming Presidential campaign because of his order abolishing race segregation.

D. McKenzie of Washington, in a discussion at the Institute of Politics here Saturday. Striking at the heart of what he termed erroneous general impressions that colored people are increasing in number, McKenzie pointed out that white races have multiplied much more rapidly than all colored peoples put together. "The races of the world have been coming together the global world," he said in explanatory background for his conclusions.

"No one knows how rapidly China's population is increasing, but most careful scholars are convinced that original guesses of 400,000,000 population are much beyond the actual number. "India's population increased only 1.5 per cent during the decade 1811 to 1921, while the population of the United States increased that much more." "Negroes in America have increased in about the same ratio as native whites," he said. "Social conditions which decrease the birth rate for one race have the same effect on other races."

WILLIAM CAUSE THE FEMINIST VIEWPOINT THE FEMINIST VIEWPOINT ONE year ago this week — August 22 to 27, 1927, to be exact — The Amsterdam News Publishing Company issued for the first time in its history a daily newspaper. At that time the Pan-African Congress and the L. B., P. O. E. were in session here. This journalistic experiment proved the following things: (1) A daily newspaper, controlled, published and supported by Negroes, can be made "to go"; (2) a daily newspaper in itself demands a larger and more thoroughly prepared editorial force than that of a weekly; (3) a daily newspaper, to be a permanent thing, must be sold as cheaply as the metropolitan dailies if the present number of weekly readers is to be retained; (4) a daily newspaper published and edited by Negroes will have to be broader in its scope of news than a weekly newspaper aims to be — that is, news of international and national interest dealing not only with Negroes but with the people of the world will have to be printed. We are told that a Negro daily put in its appearance in Harlem last week. Although Harlemites and the visitors of a year ago supported the one issued by The Amsterdam News Publishing Company, we are wondering about the new daily. At any rate, here's wishing it luck—T. E.

"I was very weak and thin and used to suffer with very severe headaches," says Miss Annie Mae Brown (1221 R Whitaker St, Birmingham, Ala). "I would be almost blind, the pain was so severe," she says. "This was when I was just entering the upper classes at school. I didn't want to get behind. I suffered with my back and sides, too. Someone suggested that my mother give me Cardul, for which I am very thankful. I took 6 bottles at that time and was strong and well and did not have severe headaches or pains at certain periods.

Cantaioupes, especially, repair damage brought about by acid-forming foods. The two melons are practically the same size and shape, and are conceived. The cantaioupes contain a decided trace of food and iron which watermelon lacks. Roast duck makes a welcome change in the family meat supply and is one that is well adapted at this time of the year.

Aug. 27.—Fort four states and the District of Columbia now provide for public aid to widowed or deserted mothers with dependent children, according to a compilation just made by the Children's Bureau. Mississippi and Kentucky are the latest states to join and, according to the Bureau, their laws are liberal. Only four states—South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and New Mexico—now fall to make some provision for such cases. In 30 states and the District of Columbia, aid is extended until the children are 16 years of age. Four of these provide for continuation the children reach the age of 18 years, in special cases. Colorado fixes an 18-year limit outright and Michigan and Tennessee 17 years; Indian parents aid up to 17 years for girls and 19 for boys; minimum of parents fix no maximum in leaving that to the authorities to determine in each case. This says the Bureau, has proved to be the best way. Most of the states, however, fix in maximum. For a family with three children, this runs from as high as $50 to $70 per month in California, Connecticut, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada and Ohio, to as low as $20 to $29 per month in Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Texas, Vermont and Washington.

Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN The Man Writes This week the man writes, blaming, of course, the woman. After all, friends, it's not a question of sex, but one concerning the individual. There are cheaters, male and female; there are square-delers, male and female; there are gold-diggers, spongers, lilars, thieves, cats, rats and foxes—male and female. Sex doesn't make a person good or bad. Environment and inherent qualities play the great part. Don't blame all the women in the world because some don't measure up. Keep right on testing them and remember that you're being tested, too. If you love (1) affair turns out a farce, start out again, well equipped with the precious knowledge that comes from experience. Don't be the worst, always bring the blues about the other sex. Specialization counts a whole lot today. Why not specialize in types and characters and leave off generalization. Deary Eggye Ann: Twenty-one and Disgusted asked why most boys expect a girl friend or sweetheart to act the part of a wife before marriage. About a year after I had known a girl; we became engaged. I gave her a very expensive ring. Seven months after I asked her to set date for me, she told No. She didn't because she found herself loving two of us at the same time. During all that time I never approached her with an improper question. About a year after I met another girl. I felt as if I would be committing a sacrilege to ever defile her before marriage. I had too much respect for her, as I thought she was the purest woman on earth, but I found out different. She claims I was too old-fashioned because I was too truthful, honest and respectable for her. I do not smoke, gamble or drink. I am at least 80 per cent physically perfect. She, too, has an engagement ring which she never returned. Now, Eugyne Ann, could I be fair to another woman: Oh, I wish I could give the full particulars of this last affair. I have lost faith in women. A BACHELOR AND DISGUSTED. Denr Friend: The saying "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" seems like a lot of bunk, doesn't it. It may take a long time for a broken heart to heal, but it is a sure bet that it will. In nine cases out of ten we all fall in love again, though the present love always seems to be the sweetest. We wish with relief when we think of the trouble and worry that would have been ours the other affair continued. You just haven't met the girl who's intended for you. You should be glad that you've discovered the culture of the girl before she became your wife and the mother of your children. Now quit going around wearing Womanhood Extolled at "No race can rise higher than its women." "Nothing can keep a woman down if she wills to rise," "As a woman—know your rights and contend for them." "Women have given to the race its foundation" — these are some of the salient tributes paid to Negro women on Sunday afternoon at the regular meeting of the Bethel A. M. E. Church Lyceum, 52 West 132d street. This ninth monthly program of the Lyceum, which started at 4:30, was planned in connection with Negro Womanhood Day. 4:30. was planned in connection Miss Hattie L. Green, membership secretary of the West 137th street branch of the Y. W. C. A., who is acting in an executive capacity during the absence of Mrs. Cecella Cabinell-Saunders, told of the work she is in associating with helping women of varied interests and experiences. Miss Augusta Savage, sculptress, in a brief manner told of some of her difficulties and successes. She is strongly in favor of women entering the field of art. Representing women in the legal profession. Mrs. Clara Burrill Bruce, assistant resident manager of the Paul Laurence Dunbar Garden Apartments, told of the achievements of women in the past and present. In her talk on preparedness in every field—medicine, law, teaching, ministry and journalism—she made special reference to the present day tendency of the Negro press to overplay and under-play certain types of news. It is her belief that every woman should have an aim and pursue it with perseverance. Dr. Julia P. H. Coléhon, president of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, brought greetings to the audience from the group of women with whom she contact. Mrs. M. C. Lawon of Brooklyn, representing the mother and housekeeper, was interrupted again and again by applause from the audi- your heart on your sleeve and passing out engagement rings.

NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING BestAmusementPages in Greater New York Although the Show Is Already a Success, the Presence of Hudgins Is Bound to Add to Entertaining Features of the Liberty Theatre Offering Johnny Hudgins, the international comedy star, who is acclaimed the successor to the late Bert Williams as one of the greatest exponents of Negro comedy in America, will join Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" at the Liberty Theatre on Monday evening, September 3rd. Hudgins returned to America only a few weeks ago after a triumphant tour of the European capitals, where he entertained royalty and society by his imitative mimicry for several years. Contracts already signed were to bring him back to London for a continuance of the success he made there last year, but Lew Leslie prevailed upon him to join "Blackbirds." This marks his first appearance in a Broadway revue in three years.

The Prince of Wales was so struck by his mimic artistry and his funny dancing feet that he invited Hudgins to Buckingham Palace, where Hudgins personally taught him the intricacies of the "Charleston." Hudgins first came to the attention of the Prince of Wales when Lew Leslie co-starred him with the late Florence Mills in the original London production of "Blackbirds" last rear. Hudgins will offer several pantomimic specialties in the current *Blackbirds*, including "A Tale of Woe," "Who's on the Telephone?" a slow motion picture conception of a man skating, and concept of a woman dancing, chancing her in a ballroom as originally created by the late Bert Williams. In adding Johnny Hudgins to "Blackbirds of 1928" Law Leslie is creating a Broadway precedent. "Blackbirds" is conceded to be one of the biggest successes of any Negro revue that has ever played on Broadway. Wise managers never touch a show when it reaches the hit proportions to "Blackbirds" has. And yet, Law Leslie, always ready to defy traditions, adds a tower of strength to pinyin Johnny Hudgins, who is decked with outstanding stars in the world of the Negro theatre such as Adelaide Hall, Bill Robinson, Alda Bred and Tim Moore. "In his Nae," said Lew Leille. "Johnny Hudgens is 'the peer. I wanted him originally for my production of 'Blackbirds of 1928' but previous contractual arrangements precluded the possibility of his coming to New York. Now that he is here I cannot permit him to return to London, even though it is at a tremendous expense. Blackbirds' show at do present time. With Johnny Hudgens it will be the greatest Negro show that has ever been staged anywhere." The final arrangements for bringing Hudgins and Leslie together were made by the dramatic editor of The Amsterdam News twenty hours before Leslie and Hudgins decided on "Smilin' Through." "The Actress" Is Based On Famous Pinero Play Norma Shaaray's new garrison picture, "The Actress," which comes Friday and Saturday to the Douglas Theatre, is the screen adaptation of "Trelawney of the Wells," the play which the late John Draw appeared in Draw was played in Trelawney in San Francisco when he was taken slick and never recovered.

While playing the Keith-Albee circuit in and out of Boston last week the quartet motored to Carson Beach, where they went in swimming. Crumbley took a high dive in a shallow place and his head became stuck at the bottom. When extracted we found that he had injured his spine. He is resting comfortably at the Peter Brent Brigham Hospital in Boston. Mall can reach him at the hospital if addressed to Ward C. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1928 Just a Pair of Feet ```markdown ``` The Above Picture Was Not Chopped in Two, but Taken "As Is." Because the Parisians Would Have It So. Those Feet Are Slated to Cavort Across the Stage at the Liberty Theatre. Yep, You're Right. They Are the Pedal Extremities of Johnny Hudgins When He Is Singing His "Wah Wah" Songs and Doing Other Things for Theatre Audiences. Some Notes in Passing By THE EDITOR WE SEE no reason for alarm or surprise at the raid last week on Seventh avenue, between 131st and 132d streets, near the Lafayette Theatre, when a number of actors were caught in the net and given summonses to appear in court a day or two after. It was simply a case of misfortune to those actors not in the habit of "hanging out" there who were caught, but a little thought will show that it was the outcome of a situation of which we have spoken on more than one occasion. Any attempt to deny that too many irresponsible characters "hang out" in the immediate vicinity would be an attempt to "kid" one's self. It is not necessary. Too many hangers-on make night hideous, and time after time women have been accosted by a number of men congregated on the corner. Was an attempt made early enough to correct this situation, the innocent would not have to suffer for the guilty. Not far from the same place we saw last week an instance of a lack of civic pride that is indeed alarming. For fully three days a dead dog laid on 131st street, not far from Seventh avenue, and sent up a stench which was a menace to health. A hot dog stand, a restaurant, a church and private residences, to say nothing of a busy garage, is right in the vicinity where that dog served as a meal for five million files during the time it graced the street with its presence. It was lack of civic pride that allowed such a thing to go on for such a length of time. In any other community emphatic protest would have been entered with the right authorities and the dog would have been removed. We have seen the effect of too many hangers-on; let us remove the cause and stop spouting of "injustice" and "what we ought to do." DO IT NOW! Treating the Ills of the Actors IN LAST week's issue of this paper Clarence E. Muse put up what he no doubt considered a brilliant plea in behalf of the colored entertainer, but to those of a serious turn of mind, with enough intelligence to think for themselves. Mr. Muse can shout from now until doom's day and he will find that the condition which he deplores will continue to exist as long as the actors and entertainers fail to get wise to themselves and make an attempt to correct the ewls themselves. This thing of continually blaming the white man and theatre owners for the fills which we suffer in the colored theatre has really become a joke. Comedians lacking material (and they are legion) should use it on the stage to give us a laugh in place of the moss-grown and time-worn stuff they have been handling the yokels nigh on these many years. Just a bunch of children, without enough brain to form a protective association of our own; hence our chorus girls and others are forced to "walk back" from many an outlying town. Then we console ourselves by shouting how badly we are treated by the theatre owners. It might sound harsh, but we are wondering if the white men engaged in making money through the work of our people in "colored theaters" cannot come together and make us squirm a little more. Perhaps it would be the means of rousing us from our slumbers, and, being the original "sleeping giant," gce. when we stretch our arms after that long sleep we will perhaps come into our own. Competition Getting Keen in Harlem WE do not know if all the theatros catering to Negroes in Harlem are making money, but we do know that competition appears to be growing keen. The tale is told that when the Alhambra first opened its doors to serve colored people as a whole, another house sent out word to the actors that any of them caught appearing at the Alhambra would be banned at the other house. But the Alhambra celebrated its first year with quite a flourish last week and, from the present indications, it would seem that the coming winter will be one of the most successful at the Alhambra, hence when we notice the able young-mah who has been training the Alhambra chorus and the Lincoln chorus for quite some time doing the same thing at the Lafayette, if even for a week, we are forced to wonder, and then wonder some more. Then, too, Sandy Burns' appearance at the Lafayette Theatre this week at the head of a company has something in it which forces us to do some more wondering, for Sandy did his best work at the Alhambra for many months, then made an excursion to Philadelphia and has returned, as told a minute ago, to the Lafayette. True, Sandy appeared at the Lafayette some years ago, but he did not meet with the same success which was his at the Alhambra. In the meantime, Mr. Carey has returned to his work at the Alhambra and Lincoln Theatres. A Laugh From the Majestic Circuit LONG after midnight last Thursday, when we ought to have been at home reading what Heywond Brown had to say the previous day, we found ourselves at the old "Tengro Apolo" on 125th street observing our old friend Sam Grisman putting two of the shows to go over the new circuit through their paces. Of course, it was the same old stuff which will be handed out in the hinterland and we were somewhat bored. But lots of time, if you seek it hard enough, you can find humor in some of the most trying situations. Andrew Trible was engaged in going over that school act which he has done so often he ought to know it by heart. Not long ago he played it at the Lafayette Theatre and a few weeks back he brought it to the Lincoln. With something in his voice which only those of us understanding the situation could recognize, Andrew would ask Grisman: "Is that the right way?" "Is this the right way?" ad almost infinitum, and in the end Sam shouted: "All right, rehearse tomorrow at one. We'll do it till we get it right." The point of the joke is, how does Andrew feel after doing the same thing over and over again and being told it was all wrong when he is about to hit the Majestic trail. Perhaps something like the colored man who Jack Goldberg and the same Sam Grisman dressed up as a Chinaman in "How come" and told him to play jazz. Pardon the smile. Midnight Benefit Testimonial to Stage Manager of Lafayette Popular Idea Leigh Whipper of "Porgy" Heading Actor Delegation to Lafayette Management—Amsterdam News Reader Sends Five Dollars to Dramatic Editor in Behalf of Cause—Artists Enthusiastic in Behalf of Craig. (By ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY.) The stage manager of the Lafayette Theatre was overwhelmed during the entire latter half of the past week, commencing Wednesday. The Amsterdam News had hardly reached the newsstands when a host of friends hastened to let Sam Craig know they were in full sympathy with the staging of a midnight benefit and testimonial to him, now that he has rounded out fifteen years as stage manager at the Lafayette Theatre. The stage manager of the Lately ing the entire latter half of the past Amsterdam News had hardly reache friends hastened to let Sam Craig kn the staging of a midnight benefit and has rounded out fifteen years as stage For the first time in his career it most pulled the hole in with him. It turn when the actors buttonholed him appear on the bill and do their blit in prise and is still floundering around so many people in and out of the pro For the first time in his career Sam was driven, into a hole and almost pulled the hole in with him. He just did not know which way to turn when the actors buttonholed him and insisted that they wanted to appear on the bill and do their bit in his behalf. Sam was taken by surprise and is still foudering around in a maze of astonishment to find so many people in and out of the profession patting him on the shoulder. Some time this week the popular Leigh Whipper of the "Porgy" company will head a delegation to the White House to place their appeal before Mr. Frank Schiffman, the general manager, in whom we have enough confidence to believe, will be met a man ready and willing to join the actors in doing something in behalf of a trusted and faithful employee. A side of this midnight benefit and testimonial has hit upon the popular fancy we now have every reason to believe. Last week the following letter came to us from a resident of Harlem: Aug. 23rd, 1928. Mr. Romo L. Dooverly, Dramatic Editor Amsterdam News, August 23rd, 1928. New York City, N. Y. Dear Shr:- It was with great pleasure that I read your article concerning Mr. Sanders, who is planned testimonial in reward of fifteen years of faithful service. It takes my mind, and possibly yours, to another faithful worker, — a young lady pianist who, as a school girl, worked at one of our Harlem Theatres and after our service or our faith service, received just the opposite. With the press to lead, the colored people will follow and show the people of other races that our colored young men and women are just as deserving of praise and reward as any other people. As I happen to know both Mr. Crang and the young lady pianist (whose position I not been able filled since she was at the theatre above referred to) I take especial interest in these cases and hope that you will do the same. Many thanks. M. W. White. P. S. More power to the Lafayette management and the colored press. Although we have been personally interested in a number of benefits in our time, this is the first time that a voluntary donation has been made; made of what the actors hope to do in behalf of Sam Craig. The writer of the letter reproduced above enclosed a five dollar bill in her letter towards the testimonial, which, to our way of thinking, is a splendid thing. The actors in the benefices of Craig are making no mistake in staring this benefit for him. Despite the hard road which we have to travel as a race, the writer takes renewed inspiration from the enthusiasm aroused in this particular case and sees in it hope that our people are rising to the consciousness of looking forward to a living life on the town. We must learn not only to applaud meritorious and faithful service, but to also give concrete rewards so that the young will know their efforts in the line of service are appreciated. "Absent" to Be Released Soon Clarence Brooks, Matinee Idol of Films, in Splendid Films, in Splendid Role New York will soon see the latest product of Hollywood in motion pictures with Negro actors when the Rosebud production, "Absent," featuring Clarence Brooks, is released in the movie. The picture is one of its world premier in Los Angeles beginning Tuesday, Aug. 28. Arrangements for the releasing of the picture in the East were completed this past week, when F. M. Potter, trustee of the Rosebud Company, appointed Jimmie Smith eastern representative of the company. Mr. Smith, from his headquarters in the Amsterdam News building, has announced that the production is being rushed from Los Angeles. New York for the purpose of screening for New York exhibitors this week. "Absent" is the picturization of a shell-shocked soldier, whose memory has gone and he is at the mercy of civilization. Mr. Brooks plays this role in splendid fashion and is supported by George Road, Virgin Owens and Rosalie Lincoln, a beautiful new leading child in six parts. The story is told in six parts.

Continues Routine THE spirit that motivates the actor that, no matter what happens, the show must go on, was given further evidence a week last Monday night when Bill Robinson, tandem dancing star in Lew Leslie's *Blackbirds of 1923*, was playing at the "Theatre" came suddenly dizzy during his famous dance on the stairs, missed his footing as he was about to execute one of his intricate steps and fell into the footlights. Eddie Cantor and George Olsen, both of whom sat in the first row watching the show, jumped up with several others and ran through the stairs to the Robinson, but Allie Ross, the orchestra leader, leaned over and caught Robinson in time to prevent him perhaps from tumbling into the orchestra pit. The brushed Robinson somewhat dazed, managed to walk off the stage. The applause by this time was terrific and Robinson answered each round of applause with a smile, and showed his gameness by finishing his routine and dicing two additional encounters. Dr. Alexander Luria, Eddie Cantor's personal physician, was in the audience and attended Robinson backstage. He found the tap dancer had bruised both legs and had wrenched his left shoulder. Robinson, however, went on in his scheduled number with Adelale Hall fifteen minutes later. Robinson was practically fully recovered at the present time and it is for this reason that Lew Loleil, producer of "Blackbirds," is making public the announcement of his accident. Another Strong Dramatic Offering at Alhambra Monday "The Evil Eye" is a mystery drama specially written for the holiday program, starting Monday at the Alhambra. The deals with fakers posing as East Indians, practicing black magic, and holding a spiritualistic seance. A great sacred diamond, which formed the eye of an idol, has been stolen. American crooks pit their enemies against the wiles of the beguin East Africa. A murder results and there are amazing disclosures.

It's years since this famous pair have been seen together on the stage of the Broadway theatre and received reception which they received from the audience gave added weight to the general belief that "Ashes" and "Bilo" are the funniest comedy team on the colored stage. This week's show BET "Philly Follises" Theatre is called "Billy Follises" It was imported from Philadelphia and aged, pop, beauty and laughter. The cast numbers forty-five. Every time "Ashes," "Bilbo" and "Apus" appeared on the stage the house fairly shook with laughter. Harrier Calloway, Inez Dennis and Eleanora Johnson provided the "Saturday" show and just while a chorus of sixteen praised and sang their way through as peppy and pleasing a series of tap dancing and chorus ensembles as has been seen here for a long time. One of the surprises of the show was Prima Donna, a white boy who has been making a sensational lift on the Keith Circuit. Duc is called "the human nightingale." He has two distinct voices. The applause which greeted this boy was so prolonged that he had to sing seven songs before he was allowed to retire. Another week of wonderful entertainment pleases the patrons of the popular Lafayette. The photoplay featured is "The Photoplay." Joseph Schildkraut and NUs Ascheb, Joseph Schildkraut and NUs Ascheb, "Voodoo" at 52nd Street Sept. 10 Prof. Lawrence Freeman Hopes to Come Into His Oum The forthcoming production of *Woodoo* a Negro jazz grand opera. It is set in the Park Garden formerly the 52d Street Theatre marks an interesting career of Prof. H. Lawrence Freeman, the composer. There are few artists who are so saturated with their art that their lives seem to be identified with it. There is no doubt but that he is immersed in his music and breathes and lives in it alone. The results he accomplishes with his other scores are the delightful fruit of his uniting devotion to music. Prof. Freeman studied under the great Cleveland conductor, Johann H. Beck, of the Cleveland Symphony. He is the only Negro composer listed in "The American Opera and its Composers," by Edward Ellsworth. Hipsher. He has composed many songs and has arranged of Negro spirituals and also musical director for Hurtig & Seamon's "Rufus Rastus," and Cole & Johnson's "Red Moon" company, the Negro Choral Society, Inc. The Cleveland Smyphony Orchestra has played excerpts of his holiday in the university declared a holiday for the students in order for them to discuss the first thing of his scores, the first thing of its kind ever done for any composer. The Associated News as far back as 1959 was interested in his work and constantly asked for news and photos of him. Many of those who saw and banded with Mexican opera "Vendetta" that was performed in the Lafayette Theatre a few years ago will long remember the beautiful music of this composer. We await America's reception of this, the first Negro grand opera. Chaney in Outstanding Char aterization at the Douglas One of the most unusual characterizations ever flashed upon the heret sheet is that of Lon Chaney in *Preferred Picture*, which opens at a Roosevelt Theatre this Saturday. Chaney in this appears as Yen Kim, a Chinaman who is cast on a New England coast by a storm at sea and later is instrumental in bringing hapiness to two people who befriended him. 11 SANDY BURNS AT LAFAYETTE THIS WEEK Dramatic Sketch and Revue Hit at Alhambra Prof.H.LawrenceFreeman M. Although Professor Freeman Has Been Prepared for Years for the Opportunity to Present the Negro in Opera, He Has Had to Bide His Time. On September 10th He Will Make an Effort to Arrest the Attention of the American Public With "Voodoo" at the 52nd Street Theatre. Orchestra of Old Being Replaced by "Blending" Band Unit JUST as musical comedies have been metamorphosed in the last decade or two from something skimpy in the way of costumes and scenic investiture to the extraordinary grandeur of the present day extravaganza, so the musicians who supply the titillating sympation to which the stars and choruses dance are undergoing a change that may eventually sound the death knell of the old fashioned orchestra. Already a dramatic change has occurred, as anybody has seen George White's new "Scandals," Low Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" and "Good News" will testify. Instead of the usual type orchestra in the pit, a unit of musicians separate and distinct from the show, the trio of productions mentioned have orchestras which are part and parcel of the extravaganzas. Thus in George White's "Scandals" Arnoldohn and his orchestra render the musical arrangements and participate in the show as well. In Low Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928" Allen Ross and his Plantation Orchestra furnish the music and in "Good News" the baton was wielded by George Olsen until a recent date. Although Olsen out of our reach, the orchestra is still there, and it plays an important part in the production. "This blending of orchestra in the pit with the actors across the footlights," said Arnold Johnson, "works for a harmony and unity that is not found in the average musical, but in the musical cut, but since they are actors in Scandals they know every line cut as well. They are a part of the cast of Scandals," instead of just musicians playing song and dance numbers very much after the manner of the orchestras that used to render music between actors. Several dramas, as was the vogue several years ago." "The time is not far off," declared Allie Ross, probably one of the best and ablest Negro orchestra leaders in America, "when every Broadway musical will participate in the show proper very much as my Plantation Orchestra does in 'Blackbirds.' I could see this change coming for many years, as it was the only sensible way to blend orchestra and actors. Producers are beginning to light up audiences are beginning to recognize the difference in this new fusion of the NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1928 what I call sector-musician bands." George Olson, one of the first of the popular orchestra leaders to lend his musicians to histrionic purposes—he plans to do this on an even greater scale in the forthcoming Ziegfeld musical piece "Whopoo"—is naturally enthusiastic over this revolution in the orchestral art. "As far back as I can remember," he said, "I found an unannoy detachment between the usual type of orchestra in the pit and the actors who were doing their stuff across the footlights. I seemed to me that the musicians had do something that they did not just take that because it was their profession to blow a horn or draw a bow across a violin, and playing in an orchestra was as easy a way of earning a livelihood as any they could think of. As for a future, it meant little or next to nothing. Not even what the actors did today, but what they were ready to do and gone tomorrow. The new type orchestra has changed the outlook of the men in the band. Being part of the show, many of them have bits. The talented ones have something to look forward to. All naturally put a glip into their playing that is infectious. The result is that the actors themselves can all around better performance is given." "In my opinion," concluded Olsen, "the old fashioned orchestra has passed its heyday. A new era is on the wing. It will make for better music and a finer unity between the important branches of the theatre." A Press Release THE HEADS of the Majestic Theatrical Circuit, Inc., Mr. Jack Goldberg and Jos. J. Myera, are leaving nothing undone to make this circuit the greatest of its kind in the world, and when their efforts are accomplished the Majestic Theatrical Circuit, Inc., to the colored theatre patrons will be the same as the Shubert Theatrical Circuit is to the white theatre patrons. Berhens, theatrical customer in New York City, has received one of the largest orders ever given out for an organization of this kind. Something like two thousand costumes have been ordered by the Majestic Theatrical Circuit, Inc., just for the chorus alone, and the hundred that will be used by the principals. Berhens costumers are working light and day to have everything in readiness for the grand opening of this gigantic enterprise, which is Sept. 3. Mr. Berhans has just returned from an extended, tour of Berlin and Paris, where he purchased many novelties and designs for costumes from some of the leading designers and artists of Europe, so you can close your eyes and dream of the grandeur this wonderful circuit has in store for you with all their presentations. What is more pleasing to the eye than beautiful wardrobes worn by wildly beautiful Misses, Misses, Goldberg and Myers have secured try from New York to California to obtain the sweetest girls in the theatrical profession. Editor's Note: The above is a press release from the Majestic offices and so we hope that the gentleman in charge will not feel addicted to our are about to say. In the first place, this is the first time that a press release of this kind has passed us without the application of the blue penill, but there is a motive to our madness. You will note, after the generous things said, that "Messrs. Goldberg and Myers have toured the country from the southern states for four years to sweetest girls in the theatrical profession." We are not here to take issue with the gentlemen and deny that the girls they secured are not "sweet," but we are here to say that if we are to judge by locks of their "sweetness," after witnessing the first hatch to go on the run, we must know that world that the quest of Messrs. Goldberg and Myers resulted in failure. "Syncopation" At the Lincoln --- "Holiday Fancies" Underlined for Next Week at Mrs. Downs' House With little Kitty Ablanck forming a pretty picture surrounded by an array of performers which include Hubert and Hamilton, Snow Fisher, Louis Dandridge, Mack and Nance, Malinda and Alberta and Ukelele Bob Williams, the "Land of Syncopation" got off to a splendid start at the New Lincoln Theatre on Monday. Brother Carey must have put in some extra time on his Lincoln chorus as they are stepping out as only the 12 Steppers can when inspired. Keeping pace with the musical end of the entertainment Olive Borden is seen in another unusual picture entitled "Virgin Lips." The latter half of the week also promises another picture which should appeal to Lincoln fans. Wallace Beery has never been a policeman in real life but he demonstrated perfect police technique in the filming of "Partners in Crime," the thrilling underworld comedy which comes to the Lincoln on Thursday for the latter half of the week. One of the sequences of the picture was taken before a cigar counter. During a momentary lull in the shooting, Beery walked up to the counter and took out a handful of cigars. "Hay, what's the big idea of helping yourself to those cigars?" Raymond Hatton, Beery's co-star, shouted. "Well," Wally replied as he pointed to the detective badge he wore, "I'm supposed to be a policeman, am I not?" "Holiday Fancies" will be the big offering at the Lincoln the coming week and it promises a great deal along entertainment lines as "Doc" Straine, the McClain Sisters, Cooper and Thomas, Winters and Merano and Gant and Perkins are underlined to create the fun. "Doc" did some of his best work with Edith Wilson, who is at present in Germany, and will offer something entirely new to Lincoln fans. GOIN' HOME, a play in three acts, by Ransom Rideout.

Thomas Moseley If the life of a play could be judged solely by its dramatic merits, "Goin' Home," a post war play awarded first prize in a national contest by Longmans, Green & Co., under the auspices of the Drama League of America, would be in for a long run down at the Hudson Theatre in West Fort-fourth street, where it is being presented by Brock Pemberton. The play, originally called "Deep River," was written by Ransom Rideout. But real, true, honest-to-goodness dramatic merit, especially when built around a theme having the Negro as its central subject, has fared pretty hard on Broadway, except when sided by the kind of backing—both artistic and financial—which enabled "The Emperor Jones" and "In Abraham's Bosom" to go over. And of all themes miscegenation is the most difficult. Yet, Mr. Pemberton, in "Goln' Home," has tackled it in a way which should be acceptable to almost any lover of the drama. According to the story, Israel du Bois, a New Orleans Negro, has married Lise, French girl, who is proprietress of a cafe. Deceived by the braggart yarns of his great wealth in America, and perhaps full of admiration for his bravery in the Foreign Legion, Lise marries him for better, with no thought of the worse. When she discovers that he has neither wealth nor social standing in America she is beside herself with cheap rage. It is Major Edward Powell (a white man) who sets her straight about Negroes in America. But, as it later develops, Major Powell and Israel du Bois were brought up as boys together in New Orleans. That does not prevent the Major from submitting to Lise's advances; but it prompts Israel in the second act to shoot his best friend, a Senegalese, who is on the point of murdering the Major. The cafe setting in which all three acts are depicted gives Mr. Rideout an opportunity to break up the heaviness of the plot through the instrumentality of homeward bound Negro troops passing through the seaport town, who sing, dance, drink and joke and duck "M. P.'s." These are all Negro actors. So, also, is Clarence Redd, who takes the part of the Senegalese soldier, Samba Sagr, with great ability. While Richard Hale, a Tennessee, who sang the role of "Orpheus" in the road company of "The King's Henchman," does well in the part, it is probable that a Negro actor would do it better. The acting of Barbara Bulgakov, who came here from Russia with the Moscow Art Players, is excellent.

Those three comedians, each so different in type, run helter skelter through the proceedings—John Mason, Roscoe Montella and Dusty Fletcher. "Chill Peppers" opens with a gorgeous scene on a roof garden that is staged equal to a Broadway production. And in fact a central figure is dainty Elise Bennett, whose success at the Sam H. Harris Theatre downtown is well remembered. Miss Bennett was one of the stars of "Lovely Lady," one of the prettiest of Broadway musical comedies. Added to the Alhambra's cast this week is Jimmie Baskette, the stalwart Harlem favorite, who backs up the good work of Ted Blackman, Charles Ray and the others. Amanda Randolph leads the Al- manya dance troupe with song, variety, lyrical, Blair, SEVEN drews has a delightful dance routine with little Dolly McCormick. At the close of "Chili Peppers" is a wild climax in which madcap Dusty Fletcher leaps over footlights and orchestra pit and dashes up the asles, followed by others, to the wild delight of the audience. "The She-Wolf" is a true-life story of a heartless vampire and her victim. Susie Sutton and Barrington Carter play these roles. George Randall, Fannie Laine, Billy Andrews and Artie Cain ably support these central characters. The drama is intensely human and thrilling. The motion picture feature is "The Romantic Age" with Eugene O'Brien and Alberta Vaughn as stars. Wednesday evening the midnight show will occur.

KUTE OMMENT By OMIC Once Too Often IN FILING suit for a limited divorce in the Supreme Court of Washington, D. C. last week, Mrs. Margaret Ella Federline charged that her husband had taken her out only once in thirty years of married life. —Well, on one hand it is lamentable, but we are inclined to agree with her husband that the pleasure of married life is derived while at home and not in the street. A Dumb Sequel MATT FISHER of Cape Charles, near Baltimore, Md., wanted to wreck a train merely for the thrill, so he placed a cross tie on the main track of a Philadelphia-Nortfolk express train of the Pennsylvania Railroad and went in hiding in the murky bushes to await the smashup. Fisher's dog proved his undoing. The engineer of a freight train going north only a few minutes ahead of the express, saw the obstruction and removed it. The dog attracted the attention of the train crew when it ran back and forth from the bushes to the tracks and it was followed so its owner's living place. Fisher was in default of $1,000 bail. We concede that the dog was dumb, but maybe it derived that quality from its master. Da-Dee-Do-Do-Do THE National Association of Negro Musicians is holding its annual convention in Detroit.

Your Horoscope BY THEARCHER The birthyear for August 28 holds every invariable financial aspect, and yet there is a possibility that ill health or family troubles will cause much worry and loss. The diet should be guarded. Quarrels and indiscreet speech will cause worry. Old plans and ideas will be best. Old plans and ideas will be best, because in employment, worry over family troubles, trouble with the health and diet, and yet there will be a chance of help in time of need. Old plans and ideas will be best for these people, too. August 31 promises a bit of unhappiness through quarrels and indiscreet writings. Romance and marriage are rather adverse for nearly every one of this date. These people will need all the patience and courage. These three birthyears will be worth of spiritual peace and faith. Old plans and ideas are best for these people of today. September 1 begins a birthday that will be full of sudden changes and upsets, and yet, it will be possible to advance many new plans and ideas. These people have Jupiter well placed, and there is no reason why success cannot be attained. Diligent effort will be required, however. Romance and marriage will be often unsatisfied for nearly every one of today. September 2 holds a birthday that will bring some high honor and success to those of today who have already placed the foundations. Hopes can be realized. The approaching aspect between Saturn and the Sun will delay things a bit. A very good year this is to be. September 3 begins a birthday that is much like that of yesterday. Romance and marriage will take some surprising turns. The position of the moon does not promise much of the birthday. A good year for old plans and ideas this will be. Finance is well aspected. September 4 promises some hap- piness in the early part of the birth year, and the chance to prepare for the end of the birthyear when things will be quite slow. Old plans and ideas will certainly be worth while. A seal for patience and poise this should be. Dr.D.Bloom DENTIST New York Offices 35th St. cor. 3rd Ave. 86th St. cor. Lexington Ave. 125th St. cor.

NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1928 Bootleg Shines Sold on Sunday Category When the union of bootblacks in New York City decide a time when a shoplayer is a Saturday off, they really start something. As a result the police suddenly decided to enforce a forgotten law, and this condition also turned out a crop of itinerate shoe pollers ranging in age from ten to twenty who have boosted the cost of a shine 50 and 100 per cent. He then the situation has caused the trade of the bootblack to enter the category of the bootleger and it has increased the opportunities for graft. There has been some complaint about white bootblacks being allowed to remain open on Sunday while the colored servitors are required to prove investigation proved however that a dollar is no respector of race or color. A reporter asked one bootblack to explain the situation and he was told that for the first offense the fine is $5, for the second $10, for the third, $15. The next offense draws a full sentence and the revocation of the bootblack's license, he said. "But suppose you pay off what then" the shoe polisher was asked. The question led to graft. "Oh," said the shoe bootblack, "that's a mule of a different hue." One bootblack complained that he "paid off" too, but was given a "ticket" just the same. On Sunday, Seventh avenue was crowded with juvenile brush welders whose price for a polish was 15 cents. The man who has a booth at the southeast corner at 32nd street resents the price to paint the booth free lance shoe polishers, and one of them informed him that he had "paid off" to keep open, so why kick. Still others, not so bold, will sneak you into a booth, give you a bootie, shoe shine behind drawn furniture, charge you with an air of mystery.

The person addressed is of sufficient importance to deserve consideration shown by care and courtesy. Neglect of the art of writing letters is probably due to the haste in which we live in the present day. Telephones and telegrams are tempting to many persons who will not take time or trouble to express their thoughts in careful language. Consequently, when forced to write, these people are hampered by doubts and apprehensions and find themselves at a loss, simply from lack of practice. If the idea is kept in mind that letter writing is merely an expression of what one would say in speaking, there would be less difficulty. In previous articles I have discussed pressing, demanding, and general issues in letter writing. Here I shall include a few suggestions concerning salutations and closing remarks. but not less formal endings. For intimate letters either to relatives or friends no specified suggestions are needed. The beginning and ending of a letter should be the same in degree of cordiality. A letter should not begin with "Dear Sir." and end with A stranger should be addressed as follows: "My dear Sir: "Dear Madam." These forms, are, slightly more formal than "My dear Mr. Palmer," the form used for addressing an acquaintance. Relatives and close friends may be addressed "Dear Helen," "Dear John," "Dear Cousin." Informations are of various sorts. "Your sincerely" is used among intimate friends and in some semi-business letters; "Respectfully yours" to a superior; "Cordially yours" is a less formal term; "With best regards;" "Believe me, Very Sincerely yours" and less abrupt.

Play Safe and Protect Your Milliameter For the protection of the milliameter in the radio set against heavy currents from the "B" battery, due to short circuits, it has to be protected by a resistance shunt across the terminals. This is decidedly not the best means of protecting the milliameter, the battery or the set, as it actually reduces the resistance in current instead of reducing the current flow. The best way is to connect the high variable resistance, preferably 50,000 ohms, in the negative lead between the "B" battery and the milliameter. Operating this resistance will not only protect the instrument, but also reduce the amount of current flowing through the short circuit, serving a double purpose. The variable high resistance used in this manner is extremely useful when adjusting the set or using the changes inside it, as the "B" battery is under control at the first tap and substantially so at the other taps.

For intimate letters either to relatives or friends no specified suggestion is made. The beginning and ending of a letter should be the same in degree of cordiality. A letter should not begin with "Dear Sir." and end with "I remain, Your friend." "Belleve me, Sincerely yours" is often used in the closing of a letter by some people who feel that this graceful way of concluding it gives an impression of straining after effect. Notes and letters usually have a specific message. They should be stated briefly, convincingly and as graciously as possible. Letters may be as long as inclination permits, they are entertaining, but one should beware of writing for the mere sake of "getting a letter off." Nobody wants to read a jumble of meaningless words. sey has a studio at Brondway and Forty-eighth street.

The Horsey Quartette, composed of Messa Cole, Killebrew, Borguchs and Gibbs, rendered "I Got a Gal," by Porter Granger, Crooning Andy Razoff sang "Myster of Life," with sitations, with Johnson at the piano. Their "My Dusky Stevador" was especially pleasing. Joseph Lymes, vocalist, a radio favorite, played several numbers, and the Horsey Orchestra, playing with Johnson, with passion and pressure, rounded out an evening of truly fine entertainment.

NEW YORK SECOND SECTION Labor Leaders At Local Church Brooklynites Show Enthusiasm in Addresses at Boyle Memorial Warning against the spread north of Southern institutions prejudicial to "the Negro masses and pointing out that the only hope of the Negro is to organize as workers and strengthen their power by alliance with those sections of the exploited white workers who are ready for such an alliance, leaders of the American Negro Labor Congress received tremendous avalions from a large crowd of Negro workers who included the organization's mass meeting last Friday night at Boyle's Memorial M. E. Zion Church, Gates Avenue and living place, Brooklyn. You can find him at Richard B. Moore, about 100 miles north of the ANLC told the meeting, 'you can talk until duskday about emancipation but unless you organize the only day which has the power that the will to organize emancipation, your task is neeless. Must Organize Labor Power. "Not until the Negro masses organize their labor power, the white units with the power, the white will we win our freedom. The only hope of the Negro is to organize as workers and strengthen their power with an alliance with the class-conscious and the white, brown and yellow workers of the world.' Describing the American Negro Labor Congress as the basic Negro organization, it maintained, fighting for better wages, better conditions of labor, equal pay for equal work and against all inequalities, political social or economic, the ANLC warned his heartache, there were others who had learned in the school of revolutionary activity that the interests of all workers, black, white and brown were identical and were really make common cause, and those who ANLC is organized to smash the burglars raised against us in the trades unions by the first group and to force equal pay for equal opportunity for employment in the union. "Moore concluded," Haitian Praises ANLC, Henry Rosemond, secretary of the Haitian Parish, and member of the standing in the ANLC, urged upon the meeting the necessity of a militant organization like the ANLC and especially called upon those present to strengthen the Brooklyn Council of ANLC by becoming active members. Miss Grace Campbell, chairman of the Harriet Educational Forum, gates women among Negro women in the needle trades and other industries. Declaring that the Republican party had betrayed the Negro and reminding his hearers of the traditional unity of the Democratic party, George Padmore, an assasin, called on them to cast a protest vote against both old parties and to vote for a working class ticket. He also castigated Judge Atwell for his presiding over him and warned that "Atwell is not individual. There are scores of other Atwells come up from the South trying to introduce Southern prejudice and Southern institutions growing mistrust by eternal vigilance and by effective working-class organization." Declaring that the ANLC had an international pro-Asian business group, Padmore warned that "unlaws are sufficiently organized, economically and politically, we will not be able to help our African brothers they taking courage from the heck of it, the workers, launch the inevitable revolution against white capitalist domination and exploitation."

Amsterdam News Republican Club Up in Arms Naming of Mrs. Hunton by County Leader Cause of Hot Meeting The members of the Kings County Colored Republican Organization were greatly aroused Wednesday night when it was made known that Mrs. Addle W. Hunton, president of the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs, had been endorsed by County Leader Jacob A. Livingston for membership on the executive committee of the Colored Voters' Division of the National Republican Committee without consulting the organization. Mrs. Hunton had also been endorsed for Eastern Director of the Colored Women's Division. It was made plain that there was no personal objection to Mrs. Hunton, but as one member explained it, it was just a matter of principle. It was contended that Mr. Livingston had recognized this organization as the regular Negro Republican organization in Kings County and had promised to consult it in all matters pertaining to patronage, and inasmuch as Mrs. Hunton was a resident of Brooklyn it was stated that this organization should have been consulted. It was also brought out that Mrs. Hunton was not a member of the organization.

Dickerson, the veteran politician and one of the leaders in the Eighth Assembly district, arose and entered a vigorous protest. He was aware that their organization was capable of producing women just as good and just as nationally known as Mrs. Hunton. He also stated that the organization it meant that their organization no status, and was ignored entirely.

A number thought that Mrs. Mr. Crawford wrote that the Emmei Federation of Women's Clubs and who was director of the Eastern Division of Colored Women and who was the next in line for the indorsement. Benjamin Williams, another political war-house, proposed a motion to appoint a commissioner Livingston to learn why he ignored the organization.

Harton, the militia also national president of the Nae- League. The meeting was hold under oderson also made a plea for letting dened and see that white and colored in fraternal relationship." George E. Wibecan Sr.. past grand civil rule of the Elks, and other well- known Bears were among those who assailed the "Texas pr- judice" of Judge Atwell. Mr. Wibecan stated that the public press was to blame for the utterance of Judge Atwell, whom he called a "weak." He claimed that the press has been encouraged that the latter had been encouraged to such conduct. Mr. Wibecan also made a plea for a closer organization among colored people under a leadership. Mr. Wibecan was during the course of his talk kudded the liberal spirit of Brooklyn. He stated: "Brooklyn is liberal, not narrow like Texas. Friendly relationship here between the colored and white people, a spirit of Beecher and a holy tolerance of every race and creed." The sentiment of the vast throng was flamed into action by Dr. Harton, who came to speak at length in a vigorous manner against the judge. Dr. Harton introduced a set of resolutions which were unanimously adopted to request a message to Chief Justice Taft and President Coolidge protecting against the conduct of the Texas Judge and request or his withdrawal from this district. At Dr. Harton, it was also decided to have a delegation selected to wait upon Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith, from each his stand regarding the rights of colored people in this country. Dr. Harton urged that every man and vote, putting race above party, voting only for those who had declared themselves unbiased in regard to the rights of the Negro. Dr. Harton, in his speech, "Judge Awell has brought Southern prejudice from Texas, next door to hell, right up to New York. We are gathered to let him know that dark colored men are not helpless." He stated that there is little chance for the removal of Judge Atwell his late date as his term ended, sitting in the end of August, but formal action may be taken so as to prevent the judge's return next summer. William Jacobs, a well-known white man, was present and joined in the protest. He stated: "I have petitioned the presiding Justice of the United States District Court in New York City to revoke Atwell's right to govern the city. I have also asked the New York County Lawyer's Association, of which I am a member, to send a protest to the proper authorities in the court here." There were a large number of other white men and women present. Telegram was read from Congressman Collier hedging his support of the movement. Among others who spoke for Judge Atwell's return to Texas were the Rev. W. Brown, president of the W. Brown pastor of the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church; Rector George Frazier Miller of St. Augustine's P. E. Church; the Rev. Porter W. Philips, curate; the Rev. John D. Nixon, pastor of the Brown Memorial Baptist Church; and John D. Nixon, chairman of the board of directors of the Society of the Sons of North Carolina and others. In a statement that the Texas judge in his remarks was expressing the spirit of many people in the South and in the North, and claimed that if the judge had not insulted a white man Attorney F. R. Serril at the courthouse in Negroes, there would have been nothing done about it by white people. Rector Miller declared that it was a man's own business with whom he worked. "We want Judge Atwell to know that it is our business and not his. If Judge Atwell is going to separate the two and cloaked people in this case, we will do the bigger job than I would undertake." The cause of the protest meeting was due to a remark made by Judge temporarily, when he was sentencing a white woman, Mrs. Angellia De Luca, of 285 Hudson avenue, to five days in jail for selling a pint of beer to a soldier she had taken on August 17th. It was brought out at the trial that she lived among Negroes. The judge stated that: "White folks and Negroes can't live together should go elsewhere to live, among a different sort of people." The judge also took occasion to rebuke her lawyer. Brooklyn, spent Friday in Corona, calling on relatives and friends. Mrs. Sarah H.

Fugazy's twice-paced card of clout, now set for Ebbets Field for tonight, educates him on skill and education improved. Pal Silvers and Jack McFarland are off the card, because of previous engagements this week. Tiger Jack Payne, the sensational colored light heavyweight from Australia, has been lagged by Promotor James for ten-round Paul Fugazy, the Syracuse Fole, to top the bill. Payne is under the management of Leo Fugazy, he held four titles and won eight welts, and heavyweight. In his only start in New York he won on a foul from Joe Monte, the rugged Houstonian, making a big impression when Monte made had an advantage of several pounds on the Tiger, accidentally straying by Swiderski should give Payne a stiff tussle. The very fact that he signed to meet the Tiger, whom all the other light heavies and heavyweights improved, attests to the up-Stater's courage. Izzy Grove, hard-hitting and clever East Side welterweight, who is Joe Dundee's title, and Billy Alger, the Stunkist Slopes, will tangle in the ten-round semifinal. Alger was the first man to score a knockout in Goldstein, turning the trick when the Gettto, Jewel invaded the Coast in quest of easy money. Baby Joe Gans, brilliant colored junior welterweight from Los Angeles, will tangle in a third round speedster, will tangle in a third round the bout marks the opening of Felix's campaign to establish himself as a leading contender for 150 pounds. Willie Feldman, of the East Side and a young man who promises to go far in the middleweight ranks, and Wilson Yarbo, Cleveland coach, who had Champion Mickey Walker on the court, will toss leather at each other in the first of the four top-10s.

Dear Mr. Dougherty, I am sending you this letter with the hope that you will be able to call a few interesting items for your book page. I must thank The Amsterdam News for the valuable information that I received from its columns which enabled me to enter the Labor Sports Journal, an published in last week's issue, which took place at P. S. A. L. field on August 25 and 26. As a result of reading the letter, I entered the in. S. F. meet and was the only colored athlete who was successful in winning any of the events. I come first in the two metre time, 1.7 seconds; also took first place I have just this minute returned home, after being invited to the Progressive New York City, where amidst great applause I received my two gold medals. In fact, the applause which I received tonight was but a small part of me on the truck last Saturday and today (Sunday). I found the audience very incredible and undiscriminating to participate, regardless of color or creed. Mr. Burke of Detroit was in charge of all entries and was particularly courteous in that I was perfectly comfortable. Complete reports of the event appears in tomorrow's (Monday) Worker" and probably other papers. I am hoping that you will be and it possible to rewrite this in order to make news for your entertaining sports. Respectfully yours, AUTHOR KIRTON. Editor's Note: We found the above letter interesting we decided to run it "is it." FUGAZY TO PUT ON BIG MATCH Godfrey and Roberti Will Most Likely Be Sign- Before the week is over Promoter Humbert J. Fugazy will announce the sporting world the signing of Roberto Roberti. Italian heavy-weight, and George Godfrey, Leipster him before the match will meet at Ebbsfield Field during the second or third week in September. Fugazy refuses to deny a report that the match is made. He does admit that he is contempting matching Godfrey with the big Italian. Surely there can be no cause for Humbert J. Fugazy to contempt matching Godfrey, to refuse the match. The Baron of Leipsterville has a harder time as it is attempting to get important matches for Godfrey without the match. In fact, Dougherty probably will jump (or already has jumped) at the chance to allow Godfrey to mingle with Godfrey did everything to Riske but get the decision and a victory over the man who defeated the Bouncing Baker Boy, even though on the lightfight. After all, the referee and judges had Roberti leading until the foul. The match is a better one for the Gobbs, Sharkey scuffles, which, of course, is out of the question now that the Gob has pulled a Joe Dagan. Middlesex Cricket Club Triumphs Over Viscose C.C.

Personally, I do not know that the Havana Cubans have been disregarded that your fang is a avoiding them. I do not say you are deliberately taking these steps to prevent them appearing in the metropolitan district; but something is wrong somewhere. Go deep baseball and sportsmanship always pays. Give the fans what they demand and they will continue to patronize your park. Before the Havana Red Sox leave for their home in Cuba this coming month, why not bring the two clubs together? We have one open date, Sunday, Sept. 9, with several offers pending that we will gladly cancel to comply with the request of the metropolitan fans for the appearance of our attraction, which has passed the century mark in number of games played throughout the East and West this summer. An answer through these columns explaining your stand or a personal letter to us would be appreciated.

Baltimore Black Sox Trim Cubans at Richmond In a game featured by two hits over the left field wall by Wilson and Dion of the Baltimore Sox and used by the acclaimed the Black Sox to knock the game of the series at Richmond, Va. from the Havana Red Sox, coming from behind in the seventh stanza and continuing their batting spree in the eightth. The game was exceptionally fast, and the cleverness of the teams in the field, with their willingness to miss, pleased the fans. Bucheed with this pleasure, the Red Sox the hard hitting of the Black Sox, there was many a laugh, carbonated considerably by the overflow of joy on the part of the partisan rooters that the Red Sox are a chattering bunch, and this is enjoyable, for not a word of it is intelligible to the average American, as it is all in Sox. The infield work around second and short for the Black Sox and for the Red Sox was of the clearest kind. One-hand stops and catches the ball, and the joy among the spectacular loving colored fans.

CUBAN STARS TOOK BOTH ENDS CUBAN STARS TOOK BOTH ENDS Parkways Did Not Have a Chance Against Visitors Sunday The Cuban Stars of Havana twice defeated the Bay Parkways at Erasmus Field Sunday, winning by scores of 12 to 2 and 2 to 1. Pearl of the Antilles collected 20 safeties in the opener. Milito got five hits in six turns. Oms came through with two hotters over the right field and two doubles one apiece. Solis hit three doubles. Earless twisted eight innings and was walloped for 17 bingles. Oscar allowed the Parkways ten well-scattered blows and at no time hit a home run. Herb Steen host a tough pitching duel with Juanelo in the nightcap. Steen allowed ten thumps, twice as many as were registered against his foe, errors paved the way for both Cuban players. Each side scored a run in the second. Solis was safe when Hughle Gold dropped a good throw by Art Reilly after the latter had made a few errors and third on Penny and Bragano's infield out. A single by Ruiz chased him home. With two out, Reilly beat out a hit to short second, went to thirteen on third by Ruiz and scored on a wild pitch Solis opened the fourth with a single, stole second and was joined on the paths by Perez when Scheppes missed the pitcher's grounder. Braganza pitched Perez and, owing to Duz's badly hurt when one of Jaucelo's slants struck him in the eighth inning, but he gamely continued behind the bat. Wally Morgan starred at short for the Parkways in both games, starting four double plays and serving as pivot in two. The Royal Giants will meet the Parkways in two games at Erasmus Field next Sunday. The scores: FIRST GAME, CUBAN STARS. AB R. H. O.A.

Bobby Risden Planning Ring Return Here Soon Quite a pleasing bit of information to the boxing fans of Harlem was burgled, to this office by Herbert Blickford, the colorist and colored trazers and seconds. On or about the first of September, which marked the reopening of the Olympia, now a full-fledged pounder, will return to the ring. Bobby, as far back as memory can recollect, was the first of the last group of colored boxers since the parting of the Mc Mahons. Risdens was one of the best little fighters during the past few years, but owing to having trouble with his left hand, low until his contract had expired. His record includes victories over such boys as Izzy Cooper, Angie Gill, and he fought sensational battles with Eddie Hall. Wagner and a home town draw with Tony Trovers of New Haven. Blickford claims that he has found the best training teacher for big time projections for the past two months. He has been hearing the Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty Title Changed Hands at Big Tennis Meet at Bordentown, N. J., Last Week Brown of St. Louis Crowned National Champion-Ballard of Philadelphia Retains Crown-Reggie Weir Now Junior National Champ (By FRANCIS.) BORDENTOWN, N. J.—With the stage all set for the final drama of America's premier athletic event among our people, intermittent showers started falling at two o'clock Saturday afternoon and all but spoiled the Twelfth Annual National Championships of the American Tennis Association. The seats in the large stands were entirely filled with fans, in their multi-colored sports attire, and the championship count was surrounded by the overflow seeking vantage points from which to witness the classics. After arriving at the wonderful green campus of the Bordentown Industrial School, and in restricted parking spaces could be seen hundreds of automobiles carrying license tags of almost every State in the Union. Such is the spectacle spoiled by the overzealousness of our old friend, "Jupiter Pluvius." Saturday opened with a promise of sunshine, and there were expressions of hope and confidence in the usual "Honge luck," but just before the zero hour dark clouds began to gather in the skies, and shortly after two games had been played of the first event, the women singles, the rain came down in torrents and called to the court, the two former women and men of our country, Miss Lulu Baldwin, Ph. and Miss Iasadora Channels of Virginia, the first present champion and the other four times champion and present challenger for the title. A five o'clock play was resumed, and the women's singles event ended in a clean cut victory of her own. The women's Singles Championship title. The men's singles event between Ted Thompson of Washington, C.C., Chip Chapman and Blake Brown of St. Louis, Mo., former national champion, started soon after the conclusion of the women's event, but again it was the first time the rain started in this time calling a halt to play for the day. Play was resumed at 9:15 a.m. next morning, and Brown stunned the crowd, but he had been defeated Snitch in the semi-final round, took Thompson into camp in a hard five set match that was interrupted several times by the snitch. After losing the first set at 3-6, Brown won the next two at 6-4, 6-1. Thompson took the fourth set at 6-2, squared but could not win the flawless stroking and crafty, calculating generalism of the determined Brown, who won the deciding set at 6-2, and with it the national men's singles championship. With a draw of 263 entries comprising the six events to be contested, play started on Monday on the sixcourt tennis court of the Borderton Memorial School. The entry was not the largest in the history of the annual national classic, but it was more replete with surprises and upsets than any other tournament. The member of the history of the game and gave a clear and concise indication as to what should be expected in the near future from the coming generation of players. That which caused upsets were found J. L. Stocks of California, who made the long trip from his native state to Bordentown, N. J. to take part in the national, and caused surprise after surprise upsets. The player found in his bracket, until going down in the semi-final round before the flashing racket of Ted Thompson. Dr. Percy Richardson of New York and Dr. Downing of Virginia were 3 national players, who were two of his victories. First Salutch of New York breached through his earlier matches until he came to the quarterfinals and then to the semifinals with J. L. McGriff, Portsmouth, Va. newly elected president of the American Tennis Association. Dr. McGriff by brilliant net playing took the first set at 6-2, but succeeded in winning the second in the next two sets at 4-6, 3-6. Edgar G. Brown, like Salutch, had an easy time in the early rounds, but had bad shots to the semi-final when he met Salutch and hard five set match that brought out the best from both men. Salutch led in the first set at 5-2, but Brown, stroking with precision, was able to win the deuce and finally won the set at 12-10. The second set was also hard fought and went to Brown 7-5. Salutch took the third set at 6-3, deuce and finally stopped the contest for the day. Next morning Salutch won the fourth set at 7-5, only to lose the deciding set and with it his chances to regain his lost championship, the fifth set going to Brown at 6-2. Miss Lulu Ballard of Philadelphia again demonstrated that she is the part of the ladies played in her victory over Miss Indiana Chanis, and with Miss Ora Washington, also of Philadelphia, presented the same formidable women's combats in that which has withstood all efforts to displace them. same old stuff to "come back later." He has been promised a shot at the top of the pitch, worth which he hopes, will materialize. as national women's doubles champions. They defeated the team of Miss Enrique Brown and Mrs. Lotta Wagner. Miss Blanche Winston of Winston showed uncanny judgment again in choosing her mixed doubles partner, when she selected W. M. Cox. Miss Blanche again won the national mixed doubles championship, defeating Wilson and Wilson, 6-2, 6-2. Last year, teamed with Louis Jones of New York, she captured the event. The entry was awarded the junior championship when young Weigel Well, New York's premier junior, and New York State junior champ, was crowned as the champion of the United States. The junior field was not large, only fourteen players contesting, but it was chock full of class and among the best that shown were the Jackson brothers, Md. Alfred Walker of Baltimore, Md. Young Walker fought his way to the finals against Weir by a succession of brilliant efforts, chief of which was Harmon Merman, junior champion of New Jersey. Walker defeated Morrow in two love sets, making but not winning Hermon Merman, junior champion of New Jersey. Walker defeated Morrow in two love sets, making but not winning Hermon Merman, junior champion of New Jersey. However, he was no match for the New York junior, who won with ease by the score of 6-1, 6-4. Smith, Smith, doubles champions of New England, annexed the men's doubles championship when they defeated Thompson and Holmes, who had held the title for over a year ago, in a hard five set match.

In the track and field events Arthur Kirkton, colored athlete, was the best track and field player with double victory, hung up in the hundred meter and two hundred dashes. Kirkton's time for the hundred meter was very good, but the truck that was used in the result of the rain. Ade Jokinen of Waukegan was a close second in the hundred meter dash. Jokinen was the best track and field player with hundred meter dash. Many women's events were also staged, with over fifty girls participating.

Departed this life August 29, 1926. Gone, but not forgotten. JENNIE DARRY, Wife. FAIR, James E.—In said and constant memory of my deeply beloved son, who departed this life August 29, 1927. You are not forgotten, son. Mor shall you ever be. As long as life and memory last We shall remember you. She we kept on him. For we knew no one are happy, and asleep with Jesus. GREEN, Clarence E.—In memory of our dear son and brother, who departed this life August 26, 1926. A place is vacant in our home; A voice we loved is stillled; A light is from our household gone Which will never be seen. The flowers we plant upon his grave May wither and decay. But the love for him who sleeps beethmeh Shall never fade away. Mother, LOUSE GREEN. Sister, ALICE. TEN BROOK, M. G. E.—In sad and loving memory of my dear mother, who departed this life February 26, 1925. I cannot say, I will not say she is dead; she is just away. You suffer, you are alone. Through all your joy you will hold your sweet smile and a kind word. I watched you day by day. I cried and prayed that you would not go away. No one knows the silent heart of your soul, and only friend on earth. You are not forgotten, mother dear, nor will you ever be. As long as life and memory last I will remember thee. May God grant that you are having the rest you will have long. Husband and Daughter, BEATRICE DOUGLAS. Cards of Thanks The child of the late Mrs. Lucy B. Haskins take this opportunity to thank Rev. Monroe for his kind expressions of conolation in death of our dear mother and Undertaker Walkner for his efficient services, and all of our friends who so kindly sent letters and expressions of sympathy. Mrs. Phoenician Booker thanks her many friends for their 'diligence during her hours' her encouragement of her rich booker and also for their many final offerings.

J. --- Negro Baptist Church Membership Shows Increase of Over 250,000 Census Bureau Makes Public Returns for Ten Years, Between 1916 and 1926 Holds Own Despite Population Shift WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—The Department of Commerce announces that, according to the returns received, there were in the United States 22,082 Negro Baptist Churches in 1926, with 3,196,823 members, as compared with 21,091 churches and 2,938,579 members reported in 1916. The figures for 1926 included data for the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc.; National Baptist Convention, Unincorporated; 243 churches which were reported with the Northern Baptist Convention in 1916, and a number of independent Negro Baptist Churches. As a number of the churches are affiliated with more than one convention, it was not deemed advisable for the bureau arbitrarily to assign them to one or the other of the Colored Baptist Conventions; however, approximately 90 per cent of the whole number of Negro Baptist Churches are affiliated with the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc. NEWS OF THE CHURCHES The total expenditures for 1926, as reported by 20,210 churches, amounted to $10,476,951, including $16,211,951 for current expenses and improvements, $2,444,067 for benevolences, missions, etc., and $820,987 not classified. The total expenditures reported by 19,988 churches in 1016 were $381,919. The value of church facilities (including furniture and equipment), as reported by 19,834 churches for 1926, was $103,473,259, which may be compared with $414,149 reported by 20,117 churches in 1016. Of the 22,522 churches reporting in 1926, 4,410 were located in urban territory (incorporated places of 2,000 inhabitants or more), and 17,672 were in rural areas. Of the total membership, 1,246,527 were in the urban churches and 1,950,296 in the rural churches; and of the total expenditures 4,187 urban churches reported $11,541,570 and 16,523 rural churches, $7,922,111. The value of church property reported by 4,013 urban churches was $69,452,224 and that reported by 15,321 rural churches was $34,021,035. Sunday schools were reported by 1,516 churches of this denomination in 1926, with 145,777 officers and teachers and 1,121,487 scholars. The number of officers and teachers in the Sunday schools as reported for 1914 was 123,517 and the number of holders, 1,181,270. History of Baptists The sesquicentennial of the organization of distinctive Negro Baptist Churches in the United States can be celebrated now since it appears that prior to 1758 the first organization of the kind was at Silver Bluff, in Alken County, S. C. near Augusta, Ga. Ten years later the First African Baptist Church was organized at Savannah, Ga. In 1805 the Joy Street Church, the first in New England, was organized in Boston, and in the succeeding years came the Abyssinian Church in New York City and the First African Baptist Church in Philadelphia. About 1810 the Ninepheon Street Baptist Church of Washington became a distinctive Negro organization. The success of these societies, as Bethel A. M. E. Church At the morning service of Bethel A. M. E. Church West 132d street, the Rev. B. W. Arnott, son of the late Bishop Arnott, delivered the sermon on the subject "Growth of Glaze." He is a former pastor of Lathad and now pastor of the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church in Philadelphia. He is the right pastor, the Rev. G. Sanders, spoke on "Achievement of Christian Grace." He will speak next Sunday morning on "The Cry of the Penitent." The Rev. Coverdale, presiding elder of the Brooklyn district, was a visitor to the church. Edward Richardson, member of Class '29, was read into full membership at the funeral of James Robinson, son of the late blind preacher, the Jon. Joseph Robinson, was held at 11:00 Sunday. The Allen Christian Endeavor League meet at 6:30 p.m. The topic is "Religious Leaders," was issued by "Angela Borner. A contribution of $15 was made to charity. A reception was given by the Henry K. Snowman Clinic last Thursday night. The Young People's Ceum will give its first moonlight bus excursion tomorrow night to Rockaway Beach. Buses will leave the church at S. o'clock. dougih rolio A quartet from this church, composed of Misses Ruth Payne and Marvelle Kenselshaw, Joseph Albright and David Washington, appeared on the program at Bridge Street A. M. E. Church Lyme last Sunday afternoon. The morning sermon at Mt. Olive Baptist Church on Sunday was traced by the Rev. W. P. Hayes. Pastor. The theme of his discours- sion: As the eagle stirrth up her nest. At the evening service a sale was excellently rendered by Tillman Follage. The sermon was proached by the Rev. W. H. Booker.

FARE The lack of a general ecclesiastical organization makes it extremely difficult to gather with absolute accuracy the statistics of Baptist churches. It is true that their churches unite in associations along state and sectional lines, but their gatherings or conventions, whether quarterly, annual, or otherwise, are consultative and advisory, and not authoritative or compulsory. The migration of the Negro from the South northward, which was revealed by the population census figures for 1920, is still more strikingly illustrated by a study of the growth of this denomination's churches and membership in the states, from Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut on the East to California on the West, and a comparison of this growth with the losses in Mississippi, Arkansas and other Southern states. In 1916 these three New England states reported five churches with 1,554 members; while in 1826 the number had grown to 59 churches with 12,535 members, a growth of 54 churches and 11,031 members. In 1916 Mississippi and Arkansas reported 3,990 churches, with 461,933 members; and in 1926, 3,689 churches and 361,709 members, a loss of 310 churches and 100,244 members in the decade. The data for the statistics of the Terro Baptist churches were gathered by Negro clerks and special agents of the Bureau of the Census, working under the immediate supervision of Robert A. Pelham, who for more than a quarter of a century has been continuously in the employ of the Bureau of the Census at Washington, D.C. Mr. Pelham is now at the New York office of the Bureau at 225 West Thirty-fourth street, assisting in gathering the statistics for the Manufactures Census for 1827.

The Governor carefully refrains from saying what he would do if the McNary-Haugen bill had been presented to him; he merely makes a before-the-election promise. IN HIS PROPOSAL for local option on the prohibition question the Governor is merely making another argument for States' rights, which the Democratic party has always upheld in opposition to Federal rights. Local option would not merely amend the Eighteenth Amendment; it would destroy it. The Governor might as well come right out and argue for the complete repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. The States' rights doctrine, carried to its logical end, nearly destroyed the United States in 1861, and threatens to destroy it again. In all his acceptance speech the Governor has said nothing to convince the thinking voter that for serious business a gin cocktail is better than aspirin, or that the party of disunion is better than the party of union. NEGRO BUSINESS THE RECENT MEETING of the Nation League, A Maceo Smith and C. Benjamins, administrators, presented a report that relied on the Negroes of Harlem. After making 1,300 concerns, these investigators came as: That Negro consumers refuse to merchants; that Negro buyers do not believe they can do business as well as a white merchant has no idea of the meaning and value of "big Negroes" set the example of boyer merchant; that Negroes know nothing of profit and consumption; that Negro business management and personnel; that finance agencies are lacking. SEE ARE PAINFUL FACTS, but they must be the Negro's economic condition in Kali. The blame does not rest solely upon the man. He is confronted not only by the real difficulties of business, but by the real difficulties of white retailers, wholesalers, bankers who conspire to drive him to the wall. THIS THE NEGRO POPULATION, constantly, aids thems. By patronizing the white man furnishes them, with the resources to charm. Playing a lone hand, ignored by banded by syndicates or by the banks who with Negro money, he cannot order good quantity to get a good wholesale price; the tends to be higher than that of his wife.

Every pastor of a chudder, every head of a fraternal order, even, every leader of every Negro organization, gently hammer this truth into the heads of that has not been done is a disgrace. AT THE RECENT MEETING of the National Negro Business League, A Maceo Smith and C. Benjamin Curley, business administrators, presented a report that reflects discredit upon the Negroes of Harlem. After making a survey of nearly 1,300 concerns, these investigators came to these conclusions: That Negro consumers refuse to trade with Negro merchants; that Negro buyers do not believe a Negro merchant can do business as well as a white merchant; that the Negro has no idea of the meaning and value of co-operation; that "big Negroes" set the example of boycotting the Negro merchant; that Negroes know nothing of production, distribution and consumption; that Negro business is deficient in management and personnel; that finance and financing facilities are lacking. THESE ARE PAINFUL FACTS, but they must be faced squarely if the Negro's economic condition in Karlem is to improve. The blame does not rest solely upon the Negro business man. He is confronted not only by the ordinary and natural difficulties of business, but by the competition and pressure of white retailers, wholesalers, bankers and syndicates who conspire to drive him to the wall. IN THIS THE NEGRO POFFLATION, consciously or unconsciously, aids them. By patronizing the white stoes the Negro furnishes them, with the resources to ruin the Negro merchant. Playing a lone hand, ignored by his own people, unadvised by syndicates or by the banks whose vaults are filled with Negro money, he cannot order goods in sufficient quantity to get a good wholesale price; thus his retail price tends to be higher than that of his white competitors. THE NEGRO PEOPLE should realize that the final and determining power is in their hands. Without their pennies and dollars no white store in Harlem, from Woolworth's on down, could last thirty days. Their leaders should not allow them to forget this. Every pastor of a church, every social leader, every head of a fraternal order, every professional man, every leader of every Negro organization should unremittingly hammer this truth into the heads of his followers. That this has not been done is a disgrace to Negro leadership. THE NARROW MARGIN SUBWAY DISASTER last week was I. R. T. subway began operation.

It is only a matter of good luck that last Friday's accident was as low as six WOULD NOT BE FAIR to condemn the company hastily. Mayor Walker's first cr is unworthy of the Mayor and the city creek on the Pennsylvania Railroad no THE SUBWAY DISASTER last week was the worst since the I. R. T. subway began operation. One is reminded of the very narrow margin between safety and death to those who must use the subway every day. The smallest defect of a brake, a track or a switch, the least lapse of attention in a workman may mean instant death to hundreds of people. It is only a matter of good luck that the death total of last Friday's accident was as low as sixteen. IT WOULD NOT BE FAIR to condemn the Interborough Company hastily. Mayor Walker's first cry, "Arrest Hedley!" is unworthy of the Mayor and the city. When there is a wreck on the Pennsylvania Railroad no one speaks of arresting President Atterbury. For twenty-three years the Interborough Company, responding to the public's insistence upon speed and frequency of service, has performed a titanic task with an accuracy approaching genius. No other railroad in the country has to carry such a multitude of people in such a confined space and at such short intervals. Accidents can never be made impossible; neither machinery nor humanity is infallible. Wherever the fault lies, the Interborough Company will use its best brains to prevent a repetition of Friday's disaster. THE NEW NATIONAL BANK THE PROJECT of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the organization of a national bank for Negroes in Harlem, is a response to a genuine need. For ten years the Negro-citizens of Harlem have been calling for a bank at which the business men could get accommodation. There have always been banks that would take their deposits and use them, but when it came to loans or other accommodations it was another story. Negro business in Harlem, therefore, has not developed as it should and would with financial facilities in a community of two hundred thousand people. The Rockefeller bank—named the Dunbar National Bank—will be a stimulus and solidifier of Harlem business. OUR ONLY REGRET IS that the directorate of the bank does not include some of the representative Negro business men of Harlem who have been identified with the community for many years and have played an active part in its development. 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. A Red-Cap Explains Says Well-Dressed Women Always Provoke Comment—Tells of Negro Travelers. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: There is no question but that Mr. Reginald Clyne expects an Amish writer, "Red-Caps Lack Pride," published in your columns of Wednesday, August 12. With lines free from passion and bitterness, I should like to disillusion Mr Clyne regarding the impressions he reports to have observed. We ask Mr. Clyne is it conceivable that even the most ignorant of the race would use, in audible conversation, the odious termigger, in each place as the Penetration concourse? We fail to understand the purpose of publishing a self-evident falsehood. The second accusation, lack of respect to Negro women, while serious, is without foundation and we are happy to call Mr. Clyne's informant a pernicious prevaricator. We even go further and challenge proof of any such instances, except a possible isolated case. Every job offers its own peculiar responsibility. The Pennsylvania Station is no exception. There one comes in contact with every race, color and creed from all walks of life. It is the duty of the Red-Cap to facilitate the movements of these groups to their destinations with the least waste of time and energy to the passengers. A close study of the situation shows that foreigners and Negroes are the hardest to handle. Negroes will gather in groups and wander through the streets, lost, missing trains and blocking passages. When approached with the offer of aid, they either refuse to talk or mumble "I can find it." The writer recalls an incident where three Negro women were very rude when he tried to save them the embarrassment of walking into the men's lavatory while they were trying to find the Long Island trains. Many men many times have gone to considerable trouble in order to help race passengers on a train, and consequently they get only "thanks" sometimes not even that—for pay. We confess that sometimes a Negro woman excites comment among the men. So frequently must we witness our group prepared for travel with understairs hanging, or extremely worn-down heels, or big red garters showing below the knees, or a "get-up" that defies all laws of color harmony, that when one woman does appear befittingly dressed we do pass comment upon her the same way, orardless of race, passes upon any woman he is proud to know is a member of his group. Should Mr. Clyne honor our locker room with his presence, he will find the Einstein Theory of relativity and the possible future of the Garvey movement and kindred subjects discussed with authority and ease. Please remember, though, the traveling public is a peculiar animal. PENNSYLVANIA RED-CAP. No. 205. New York. Aug. 25, 1928. Red Caps This One Says Mr. Clyne's Charges Are Untrue. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sr: Last week I read a letter written by Mr. Clyne about some conditions existing at the Pennsylvan Expressed by Other Editors Judicial Tyranny (From the Telegram) Probably Chief Justice Taft will take no notice of that complaint of a New York lawyer against the conduct of a federal district judge in New York. He may not think it is anything he should bother about. And we don't know what authority he has over district judges, anyhow. All the same there should be some way of curbing the tyranny of federal judges—and other judges, too, for that matter. On too frequent occasions we read of judges tyrannically, and often brutally, criticizing both lawyers and litigants in their courts. If it's a criminal case the victim is often lectured from the bench in addition to the other punishment provided by law. The judge who does it is a cowardly bull. He is czar in his court. He can punish for contempt anybody who talks back. His victim hasn't a fighting chance. Many times the judge is playing for the newspaper first page—and gets it. He doesn't get the wallop in the editorial page that he ought to see. He would get it if there was general support for the rights of American citizens in their relations to courts. And if the contempt of courts* is as general as some people think it is the sole reason for it that two-legged men swelled up by their immanent courage of their power to punish vania station. As a red-cap, I know his statements are untrue. (Signed) L. C. JOHNSON. 126 West 143d street, New York, Aug. 25, 1928. Discrimination Sixteenth Precinct Patrolman Says Commanding Officer Gives White Cops All the Breake. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News, Dear Sir: As a reader of your paper, I wish you would give the following information space in your paper. We colored patrolmen of the Sixteenth Precinct are being discriminated against by the Captain, in so far as "complaints" go. Some few months ago Officer Cohen extorted $500 of federal man at 2445 Eighth Avenue. The man made a complaint at the station house, but through influence he was only transferred from his post—only to have the complaint die out. The other day this same man was restored to his old post. If this had been a colored man, as we are, he would have been indicted, arrested, and disgraced. Cohn got away with it, and was transferred back to his old post. This Captain professes to be a strict disciplinarian, but his favors are not. He has his colored patrolmen have been taken off their posts and never restored there again. We receive complaints for burglaries under any circumstances. The other night a dress shop on Eighth avenue, between 132d and 133d streets on the east side of the street, was burglarized. If a colored man was working this post, he would have received a white, satirical there was a white, satirical, therefore, no complaint. This matter should be taken up with the Police Commissioner by responsible authority. When these facts are investigated, you will be told the truth and if it were possible for us to sign our names, we would, but we are afraid that something would happen afterward. Very truly yours, COLORED PATROLMEN, Sixteenth Precinct. New York City August 21, 1928. Race Prejudice. White Man Urges Importance of Better Understanding Between Races. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: I have been reading some of the colored newspapers such as ours, The Pittsburgh Courier and The Chicago Defender, and others. They seem to be of the opinion that their main function is to stir up race friction, abuse the white people and advertise skin bleaches and hair kink removers so they (colored people) will look more like the white people they are there is not a white newspaper In the United States, not even in the South, which preaches hatred in that manner. The ultimate result of this is bound to be a race war of which the colored people will be the ones who will have the most to lose. Why not try to bring a better understanding and friendship between the two races to the mutual benefit of both? The colored people seem to be of the opinion that they are victims of color prejudice. The truth is that it is race prejudice the same as the Jews, who happen to be of the white race, suffer. The Indians and tempt make themselves and the courts over which they preside contemptible. What this country needs right now is some definition and a general understanding of the rights of American citizens in our courts. Asbury Park Beach Segregation Stopped Long continued segregation of bathers and visitors on the ocean beach at Asbury Park, New Jersey, has been decisively defeated by the branch there of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People under the leadership of the executive committee headed by the branch president, Dr. William J. Parks. For some years Negro bathers had been confined to a small section of the beach. The Mayor speaking for the Board gave assurance that colored people have the same rights and privileges of citizens, and that no orders have been given to the lessees or to any of the emissaries of the Board to treat colored people differently from any other group and that no orders will be given to that effect.

Financial Statistics of New York for 1927 WASHINGTON, July 25. The Department of Commerce announces a summary of the financial statistics of the State of New York for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1927. The per capita figures for 1927 are based on an estimated population of 11,364,000. Hawaiians are both dark skinned races and there is no color line against them, as the white people mingle with them socially and intermarry with them. The main cause of the prejudice against white race is the lower and criminal element of their own population, of which they have more than their share. Although the majority of colored people are good people, all races have their good and bad. The white race has its share of criminal and adds some that the colored criminals count in match, such as Leopold and Loob and William Hickman. The white people make the mistake of taking colored crooks, rapists and women of loose morals and other degenerates and judge them as typical of the Negro race. On the other hand, unscrupulous white people made slaves of the Negroes, beat them, lynched them and robbed them, lynched in some of the Southern states. Most Negroes believe that most white people approve of that, although self-respecting white man is just as much opposed to that as the colored people themselves. Here's hoping that the best elements of both races will get together and right all these wrongs. If hope we will soon see the end of Jim Crow laws, segregation and other racial injustices. Very glaciously yours. (Signed) WILLIAM RUSSELL. 247 East Thirty-second street, New York City. Coffee House Proprietor Told She Should Not Take Word of Her Maid. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: In the August 19 issue of The Herald Tribune appeared an article under the caption "Find Girls Use Coffee Houses in Sobering Up. In it were extracts from an article in the magazine issue of Plain Talk, a magazine by Alice Foote MacDougall, called "As a Woman Sees Prohibition." An excerpt of the conversation between Mrs. MacDougall and her colored maid, in reference to drunken Negroes in Harlem, follows: "Is there much drinking in Harlem. Oh, yeer. It's easy to git. Of cose I don't bother one. I makes my own wine." "But is there less poverty now?" The payments for operation and maintenance of the general departments of New York amounted to $144,710,772, or $12.73 per capita. This includes $55,516,611, apportionments for education to the minor civil divisions of the State. In 1926 the comparative per capita for operation and maintenance of general departments was $12.01 and in 1918, $5.61. The interest on debt in 1927 amounted to $13,718,655 and the outlays for permanent improvements, $46,85,004. The total payments, therefore, for operation and maintenance of general departments, interest and outlays were $205,364,331. Of this amount $51,483 represents payments by a State department or enterprise to employees of services. The totals include all costs for the year, whether made from current revenues or from the proceeds of bond issues. Of the governmental costs reported above, $37,504.24 was for maintenance, $16,372.198 was for maintenance, and $21,132.048 for construction. Revenue The total revenue receipts were $15,143,758, or $18.96 per capita. This was $67,044,431 more than the total payments of the year, exclusive of the payments for permanent improvements, and $10,109,427 more than the total payments, including those for permanent improvements. This excess includes the reflected in purchase of investment and creased cash balances, not shown in this summary. Of the total revenue receipts, $14,843 represents receipts from a State department or enterprise on account of services. Property and special taxes represented $3.0 per cent of the total revenue for 1927. $4.6 per cent for 1926, and $50.0 per cent for 1918. The increase in property and special taxes collected from 1918 to 1926 and $3.0 per cent from 1926 to 1927. The per capita property and special taxes were $10.05 in 1927. $3.43 in 1926, and $4.03 in 1918. Earnings of general departments, or compensation for services rendered by State officials, represented a per cent of the total TDP. LETTERS Evbody makes some stuff and sell it, and of co's there lots of money made that way." Being well known in Harlem and throughout Manhattan by my business as Mrs. L. Lemp's High School, I have served many hundreds of New York's cultured homes with respectable, God-fearing Negro males, I feel I am in a position to speak with authority. In my fifteen years of business I have not known one single instance where Negroes make their own wine and sell it so as to erase poverty. This mild, Grace, who does the talking, must belong to a colored bootleggers' agency, of which I know nothing about. These charges and conditions are untrue. A woman who is as noted for good judgment as Mrs. MacDougall has used pretty poor judgment in taking the word of an illiterate colored girl. Judging from the girl's use of the English language, she must be illiterate. The girl is strong for Prohibition and for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. Very truly yours, (Signed) MRS. L. L. KEMP. New York, Aug. 27, 1928. Negro Athletes E. R. T. Says Negro Newspaper fall to Give High School Athletes Merited Publicity. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dearest. Just a few words mentioning our young Negro athletes in the New York High Schools. In my days as a school boy, such athletes as Dave Meyers of Stuyvesant, Charles Major and "Babe" Cook of Clinton, and many others received no publicity whatsoever in Negro papers. In these days I really think Negro athletes in high schools should be receiving numerous write-ups. I particularly noticed two lads this last year, namely, Jack Livingston and Walter Wright, of Textile High School, both basketball champions. These boys led that institution to a place never attained before in basketball. I saw numerous clippings about them in many white dailies, but whatsoever in the Negro wagles. Of States Yours for better understanding of our younger athletes. E. R. T. New York, Aug. 24, 1928. Statistics of York for 1927 25. — The Department of Com- munity of the financial statistics of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1927. 1927 are based on an estimated --- tal revenue for 1927, 3.7 per cent for 1926, and 5.4 per cent for 1918. Business and non-business licenses constituted 33.0 per cent of the total revenue for 1927, 31.3 per cent for 1926, and 38.4 per cent for 1918. Receipts from business licenses consist chiefly of taxes exacted from insurance and other incorporation companies. While those from non-business licenses prime chiefly taxes on motor vehicles and amounts paid for hunting and fishing privileges. Indebtedness The total funded or fixed debt outstanding June 30, 1927, was $342,000,309. Of this amount $259,648,400 was for highways. The net indebtedness (funded or fixed debt less stinking fund assets) was $244,264,688, or $21.50 per capita. In 1926 the per capita net debt was $19.31, and in 1918, $17.91. Valuations and Tax Levies The assessed valuation of property in New York subject to ad valorem taxation was $20,795,221; 088; the amount of State taxes levied was $42,722,895, and the per capita levy, $2. In 1926 the per capita levy was $2.70, and in 1918, $1.34. Finds Bill of Sale for Slave Written in 1814 Two old documents came to light recently when Mrs. Phil Ryley of New York was going through some family papers. One of them records the waiving of dower rights by a mother to her son and is dated 1708. The other is a bill of sale for a Negro slave In Essex County, N. J., in 1814. The bill of sale for a slave, which Mrs. Ryley has been informed of is greater historical value, reads as follows: Know all Men by these Presents, the I. Adrian J.

Be Church Women to Hold Interracial Conference Because the developments of interracial work among church women have made such strides the past two years and because there are many problems which need further discussion by the white and colored women leaders, the Second General Interracial Conference of Church Women has been called by the Church Women's Committee on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches at Eagles Mere Park, Pa., Tuesday and Wednesday, September 18-16, 1928. Insanity on Increase WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. — The Department of Commerce makes the following announcement concerning results of the 1927 census of mental patients in the sixteen state hospitals of New York: These hospitals had a total of 8,473 first admissions during the year 1927, as compared with 7,711 in 1926 and 7,218 in 1922. "This conference," says Mrs. Richard W. Westbrook, chairman of the women's committee, "comes as the logical development of work done by church women, North and South, greatly stimulated, as they have done, the spiritual forces generated at the conference held at Eagles More in September 1926. Since that meeting a permanent committee, representative of churches and affiliated organizations, such as the Y. M. C. A., has been developed. Local conferences have been held; a number of local committees of white and colored church women have been set up and are actively dealing with the community problems involving the two races that contrain them. There are many things that are now to be discussed by church women, leaders, white and colored, from all sections of the country, that are second conference is very necessary. This conference will provide, as did the first one, a choice of opportunity for understanding through the fellowship of delegates." A special committee has gathered suggestions from women all over the country and is shaping those suggestions. Some topics to be discussed are: the present status of the Negro in the cultural life of America; his achievements, handicaps and cultural opportunities in America; how African educational organizations can be used for developing friendly racial --- These first admissions represent patients received during the year who had not previously been under treatment in any hospital for mental disease. Such newly admitted patients afford the best available measure of the care which was cases of disease which were bought under hospital treatment during a given period. The increase in the number of first admissions to state hospitals in New York between 1922 and 1927 was relatively greater than the growth in the State's population during the same period, as shown by the fact that the first admissions in 1927 numbered 74.2 per 100,000 of population as compared with 68.2 in 1928 and 67.2 in 1922. The extent to which provision has been made for state treatment of mental patients is indicated by the number of patients present in whereof I do hereby acknowledge — Do bargain with and sell to him the said Daniel R.

Guggenheim Foundation Offers Scholarships The John Guggenheim Memorial Foundation is again offering fifty fellowships, tenable abroad, for research in any field of knowledge and for creative work in the fine arts and music. Both men and women, single or married, are eligible for the fellowships. At present, fellowships in music will be restricted only to composers and to the artists seeking research in the history or theory of music. The appointments are worth $2,500 a year, and the tenure of the fellowships will be adjusted to the purpose and scope of the studies of each individual. Although appointments will be made ordinarily for one year, it is possible that plans for two or three years' work will be considered. Appointments are also open to teachers who have received Sabatical leave on full or part salary. Application for fellowships must be made in writing on or before Nov. 16 by the candidates themselves. Final selections of fellow in said County and state attitudes; the problem of interracial relations in our mission schools; race relations and religious education; mental and moral attitudes involved in interracial contacts. A full review of experiences of church women during the past two years in dealing with problems that confront them in their local communities and methods they used in dealing with these problems will be considered by the conference. Invitations have been sent out to more than 400 national, State and district organizations of church women and a number of these organizations have selected their delegates who plan to attend. Among some of the outstanding leaders who are expected to attend are Mrs. John Ferguson, president, Council of Women, Home Missions; Mrs. C. P. McGowan, chairman, Intercultural Committee of South Carolina; Mrs. May Leonard Woodruff, secretary, Woman's Missionary Society of the E. Church; Mrs. J. W. Downs, secretary, Board of Missions, M. E.

In New York the number of mental patients under treatment in the state hospitals has increased steadily from 30,151 on Jan. 1, 1910, to 46,131 on Jan. 1, 1928, and the ratio of such patients per 100,000 of general population increased from 320.5 on Jan. 1, 1910, to 302.7 on Jan. 1, 1928. Of the first admissions in New York during the year 1927, 4,762 were males and 3,711 were females; and of the patients on Jan 1, 1928, 22,222 were males and 2009 were females. These figures are based on reports furnished by the institutions, through the co-operation of the State Department of Mental Hygiene. The figures for 1927 and 1928 are preliminary and subject to correction. aforesaid, Farmer, the receipt lows for 1929-1930 will be made in March, 1929. Pullman, Inc., Net Income Increases Pullman Incorporated, successor to the Pullman Car Company and the Pullman Car & Manufacturing Corporation, reports net income for quarter ended June 30 of $3,777,460 after all charges, including depreciation and Federal taxes. This includes income of subsidiaries and companies with $2,583,248 in the preceding quarter. Net income was equal to $1.11 a share on the $3,755,000 shares of no par stock which will be outstanding when all of the $100 par stock of the Pullman Company has been exchanged for stock of Pullman, incorporated. This compares with 76 cents a share earned in the first quarter. Net income for the first half of the year was equal to $1.87 a share on the stock.

Our bright love-tower leaned one day and fell. You did so much; yet so much let pass by. That might have propped our tower to the sky. Wherein I now see but a vast blue lie. JEREMIAH W. RUSSELL
