GRAND JURY TO HEAR "RIOT" CASE ROBESON FEARED "BLUES" SINGING IN REVUE WOULD HARM HIS VOICE REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Complete in Two Sections MRS. PAUL ROBESON EXPLAINS ALLEGED CONTRACT BREACH Admits Actor-Singer Signed Contract, but Later Decided Singing of "Blues" in Revue Would Probably Injure His Voice The incidents that led to the suspen concert singer and actor, who is now app edition of Zeigfeld's "Show Boat," from month in the Actors' Equity Association, exclusive interview with Mrs. Paul Robe West 150th street, yesterday morning. Mr. Robeson is said to be the first ber of Equity, while Charles Gilpin of it was the first Negro junior member. The incidents that led to the suspension of Paul Robeson, concert singer and actor, who is now appearing in the London edition of Zeigfield's "Show Boat," from membership for one month in the Actors' Equity Association, were recounted in an exclusive interview with Mrs. Paul Robeson at her home, 226 West 150th street, yesterday morning. Mr. Robeson is said to be the first senior Negro member of Equity, while Charles Gilpin of "Emperor Jones" fame was the first Negro junior member. Equity's decision against Mr. Robeson occurred two weeks ago on complaint of Mrs. Caroline Dudley Reagan, white, who charged that last January Mr. Robeson signed a contract with her to appear in a revue to be produced by her, and asserts that when the time came for rehearsals Mr. Robeson did not appear. Mrs. Reagan, who goes under the professional name of Caroline Dudley, declares that she has obligated herself as regards a cast, composers, lyricists and writers for her new show. However, neither Equity nor the usual dramatic schedules could furnish any clues as to what Mrs. Reagan's revue is to be called, who are in the cast or who are the authors, composers and writers concerned. The revue is supposed to open on Broadway October 14. Mrs. Robeson stated that her husband old sign an Equity contract with Mrs. Reagan in January to appear in her revue and that Mr. Robeson was to do a dramatic, a blues and a spiritual sketch. In March Mr. Robeson took the role of Crown in "Porgy," but found it too much of a strain on his voice to sing above the other singers in the storm scene. He left "Porgy" and signed an Equity contract with Florence Ziegfeld to appear in Sir Alfred Brutt's London run of "Show Boat" in Drury Lane. The contract with Ziegfeld stipulated that Mr. Robeson would be permitted to release himself from it when the time came to appear here in Mrs. Reagan's revue. And if he was not to appear in the revue Mr. Robeson was to continue with Mr. Ziegfeld, was the understanding. The actor's vocal experience in "Porgy" caused a serious doubt to enter Mr. Robeson's mind in regard to his appearance in the revue where it was now revealed, the singing of the blues song would probably injure his voice. Then, also, Mr. Robeson was most unhappy over the prospect of singing the spirituals in a revue and that to do so would react unfavorably upon his state of mind and thus de- (Continued on Page 2) This Week's News Index Page Editorials ... 16 Special Articles ... 16 General, Local and National News ... 1 to 3, 8 News of Society and Women's Activities ... 4, 5 News of Churches and Fraternities, Deaths ... 12 Norby Brixton ... 11 News of New Jersey ... 11 Amusements ... 6, 7 Sports ... 10 News of Brooklyn and Long Island ... 9 Music ... 8 Radio News ... 8 ADVERTISING INDEX.

Magistrate Fails To Hold Suspect Witness Says He Heard Noise at Airshaft and Saw Defendant Run Because he would be sent to prison for life if convicted, under the Baumes laws, Magistrate Moquade, sitting in Helghts Court Friday, for some unknown reason, said he would not hold Bethlehem Pierce, 38, 63 West 137th street, on what he considered "films evidence" on which Pierce had been arrested and charged with attempted burglary. Pierce was discharged. According to police records Pierce had already received four convictions for felonies, having been only recently released from prison. Three of Pierce's convictions were for burglary and one for larceny. Jeremiah Henry, 205 West 141st street, was the complainant against Pierce, and told the court that Pierce attempted to force an entry into his home through the airshaft window on the night of August 29. He heard a noise as he entered the house, Henry said, and soon Pierce came running past him. Patrolman Ferdinand Wheeler of the West 135th street station, along with -Clarence E. Wilson, 2423 Seventh avenue, ran after Pierce, Wheeler stumbled and fell, bruising both knees. Pierce ran into a small child and fell to the ground and was caught and held by Wilson. At the police station the story of the alleged attempted burglary was told to Detective Burns, who appeared in court when Pierce was first arraigned. "Did anyone actually see this man breaking into the apartment?" asked the magistrate. The reply was that no one had seen him attempt burglary but they all saw him running. "I don't blame him for running," said the magistrate. 一 — Mrs. Paul Robeson — Fats' Waller's Plea for Another Chance Denied by Court; Sent Back to Jail Famous Blues Writer and Organist Failed to Keep Up Almony for Support of Wife and Child After failing six times to make good on his promise to support his wife and child, Thomas "Fats" Waller, song writer, blues organist and pianist, was sent to the New York County Penitentiary on Friday to serve a term of from six months to three years, according to the disposition of the parole board. "Fats" is charged with abandoning his wife, Edith, and his four-year-old son, Thomas Jr., who live at 1006 Brook avenue. The court had awarded Mrs. Waller allmony of $20 a week. "I've been in jail 31 days now," pleaded Waller before Judge Albert Cohn in Bronx County-Court, "and, Judge, I've certainly learned my lesson." "You've had at least five lessons during the last year," replied Judge Cohn, "and you have violated every promise you made to this court. Enough is enough." Waller was then denied "Just one more chance," and the putting up of a bond or anything else cannot get him out of jail, it is said. The length of time that he must actually serve will be determined after he has "rested" a while, it is reported. Perhaps he'll write an "Allmony Blues." Because of the judge's lenency, it was necessary for the State to commence extradition proceedings in at least two instances to bring Waller back from other states where he had been playing the organ and plano in movie houses. The last time he was taken into custody was at Philadelphia where he had contracted to play at the Royal Theatre at Sixteenth, a movie house. Machado Honored By Negro Societies Cuban President Tendered Banquet at Cuban Capital HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 7.—Homage was paid to President Machado of the Republic of Cuba by the Union of Negro Societies which tendered him a great banquet in the National Theatre last night. Besides the President, the banquet was attended by Vice-President La Rosa, the mayor of Havana, the Secretary of Justice, other members of the President's cabinet and Negro delegates from every Negro society on the island. Also Mrs. Machado, her daughter, the wife of the commander-in-chief of the Cuban forces and Zolla Galbez, famous On Thursday he again pleaded that was making good money now and promised that the weekly payments would never lapse again. "Banana oil," said Judge Cohn, in effect. Waller was sent to jail, where he will doubtless join the Almony Club and hobnob with millionaires and others. As soon as his jail term is served and he is back at work again he must begin his weekly payments again or else go back to jail. "Fats" will probably become the jail organist or plantist, as there are bars aplenty to try out. To Support Smith According to the Smith-for-President Colored League, James C. Thomas, life-long Repubilican and former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern district of New York, is going to support Governor Smith for President. HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 7.—Homage was paid to President Machado of the Republic of Cuba by the Union of Negro Societies which tendered him a great banquet in the National Theatre last night. Besides the President, the banquet was attended by Vice-President La Ross, the Mayor of Havana, the Secretary of Justice, other members of the President's cabinet and Negro delegates from every Negro society on the island. Also Mra. Machado, her daughter, the wife of the commander-in-chief of the Cuban forces and Zolla Galbez, famous opera singer. Aquilino Lombard, who presided as delegate-chairman, offered a brief tribute to the President, being followed by Dr. Miguel A. Caspedes, who delivered the official address in which he paid glowing homage to President Machado in behalf of all Cuban Negroes. He thanked him for the fairness and justice that has always characterized his dealing with this element of the Cuban population, and for the significant governmental appointments given to so many of their number. President Machado was visibly touched by the tribute and responded in sincere and emotional tones. Among other things he said: 'No one can truthfully affirm that I am prejudiced, or a dictator. I do not mind the criticism of the press, unless they tend to undermine the government . . . the doors of the presidential palace are always open "DOCTOR" FREED IN CHILD'S DEATH DR. E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS REPORTED SERIOUSLY ILL Dr. E. E. Rawlins, 8 West 130th street, is seriously ill with pneumonia, according to a report from his physician, Dr. Lucien M.

CLARENCE DONALD'S BAIL REDUCED TO $1000 FROM $2500 White Taxicab Driver Says He Was Fixing Tire at Scene of Disturbance When He Saw Defendant Kick Patrolman Clarence Donald, 36, 2328 Seventh avenue, alleged victim of police brutality, was held in $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury on a charge of felonious assault when arraigned before Magistrate McQuade in Heights Court yesterday morning. The complainant was Patrolman Charles Kubeil, white, of Traffic C, who testified on Friday that Donald kicked him in the groin while resisting arrest at 139th street and Lenox avenue, the scene of a near riot of 3,000 citizens on Sunday evening, July 22. Bail for Donald was reduced from $2,500. Hoover Assures Negro Of Equal Opportunity DES MONES, Ja., Sept. 10.—Negroes who are interested in the political advancement as well as the general progress of that race will be interested in a statement made here recently by James B. Morris, local attorney and editor of the Iowa Bystander after an interview with the Republican candidate. "When asked his views on the so-called 'race question' Mr. Morris said 'Secretary Hoover stated: 'If elected President of the United States, the colored people can depend upon me to see that no backward steps are made in their aspirations to achieve their full share of the opportunities under the American government.'" Mr. Hoover showed unusual interest in the problems faced by Negro citizens in the effort to maintain their rights in this section and asked many pointed questions. to the sons of Cuba and voluntary advisors, who wish to illustrate or to acquaint me with their opinions." He was thunderously applauded at the end of his speech. Seventh avenue, alleged victim $1,000 bail for the Grand Jury it when arraigned before Magourt yesterday morning. The marles Kubeil, white, of Traffic Donald kicked him in the groin street and Lenox avenue, the citizens on Sunday evening, July ed from $2,500. Herman Ellis, white, a taxi chauffeur, 218 West 122d street, testified in behalf of Patrolman Kubeil. He said that on the day in question he was at 138th street and Lenox avenue fixing a tire when the trouble started. He stated that he saw Donald resist arrest by fighting Patrolman Kubeil and Patrolman De Stella of the West 135th street station, and that he saw Donald kick Kubeil in the groin. Ellis is also a complainant against St. William Grant, 23, 130 West 135th street, who testified on August 14 that he saw De Stella kick at Donald while he was on the ground and miss him and that the blow caught Kubeil in the groin. The moment he finished his testimony and arrested in the court and identified the man whom Ellis said held him up and robbed him on the morning of July 21. On the same evening Grant was beaten in two police stations so badly that he could hardly stand up in the lineup at Police Headquarters the next morning. On August 27 Magistrate Bushel, sitting in Harlem Court, held Grant in $5,000 ball for the Grand Jury, but stated that he did not believe there (Continued on Page 2.) EXTRA REGULAR WEEKLY EDITION Alphonso Rojansen Arrested Following His Acquittal in Connection With Death of Boy Declared Incurable in Bellevue Hospital Following his discharge Monday in Homicide Court in connection with the death of three-year-old LeRoy Samuels, 205 East Ninety-ninth street, Alphonso Rojansen, 26, a salesman, of 209 West 127th street, was rearrested by Detectives Lynch and Grippen of the East 103rd street station on charge of practicing medicine without a license and held in $2,500 bail for trial in Special Sessions. Governor Smith's Prejudice Shown Headquarters Statements Says He Employs Negroes Only as Menials WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. — A charge that "Republican propagandists" are trying to discredit Governor Smith in the South by "slanders spread secretly" and "overt acts designed to mislead public opinion," has brought forth the Democratic party's true attitude toward the Negro in the North and South. It was stated that a letter received by Senator Tydings of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Speakers' Bureau from Easton, Md., informed him that Negroes were being hired by Republicans to ride in automobiles on the sides of which are displayed streamers bearing the words "Al Smith." Thus manned and marked, automobiles are being driven up and down the Eastern Shore of Maryland and in the States of Virginia and North Carolina, Senator Tyding's informant wrote. The headquarters statement said further that a Ku Klux Klan preacher, speaking at a Ku Klux Klan fish try, declared that "Governor Smith's private stenographer was a Negro and that Smith had placed thousands of Negroes on payrolls in New York State, both of which statements are untrue. Nevertheless, the statement sent out from Democratic headquarters has this also to say. "Truth is, Governor Smith does not have, and never has had, a Negro stenographer, and in the employment of Negroes by the State of New York under his administration this has been done only to fill such jobs as they are given in the South, to wit: Porters, janitors, charwoman, etc." Rojansen was arraigned on complaint of Mrs. Beatrice Samuels, who testified that he he was a physician and had accepted $70 from her for the purpose of treating her child. Mrs. Samuels met Rojansen in front of Bellevue Hospital on June 2, last, while she was returning home with her child, who had been suffering from incurable. He was suffering from his illness. Rojansen, she said, visited her home and, after examining the child, said she was sure that, if he was allowed to treat the child, he would cure him. Mrs. Samuels gave Rojansen $30, she said, after which he began treating the child, prescribing various herbs and liquids for the child. On June 8 she visited Rojansen in his home, Mrs. Samuels said, and paid him $40 more. On August 28 her child became seriously ill and was removed to the City Hospital, where he died. When Mrs. Samuels learned that Rojansen was not a physician the police were notified and he was arrested. He was arraigned in Homicide Court and held in $10,000 bail. An autopsy was performed at the museum which showed that the child died from his priginal lament and that the articles prescribed to the child by Rojansen were not responsible for his death. For that reason the charge was dismissed in Homicide Court and Rojansen rearrested for practicing medicine without a license. Nab Alleged Thief In the capture Sunday night of Charles Thomas, 25, 11 West 133d street, detectives of the West 123d street station believe they have caught the man who during the past two weeks has been stealing packages from the rear of trucks. While the driver of an American Express bus in the parking lot of Thomas is alleged to have hitched onto the back of the truck and stolen a package containing waists valued at $150. CORRECTIONS An error occurred in these columns last week in prefixing "Mrs." before the name of Wilbert Mapp, 19, 247 West 137th street, a young man who was arraigned in Heights Court, Afig, 29 and held for the Grand Jury on a charge of felonious assault on complant of Matthew Johnson, 265 West 157th street.

Madlen, declared yesterday his intention to support Herbert Hoover for President. Mr. De Priest, who is a political power in the Second and Third Wards, said: "I am not willing to see the prosperity of America and the certainty of a loaf of bread traded off for the uncertainty of a glass of beer. I want to see Mr. Hoover elected, although I am a wet." Senator Adelbert Roberts, head of the Negro division of the western Republican organization, is launching a great midwestern campaign today.

Will Not Appear in Revue Lawrence Brown, Mr. Robeson's accompanist at the plano, expressed full agreement with Mr. Robeson on the matter. Mr. Robeson then decided that he would not appear in the revue. A cable was sent to Mrs. Reagan in July, stating Mr. Robeson's intentions and offering to buy the contract from Mrs. Reagan. The producer declined Mr. Robeson's offer and insisted that he present himself for rehearsal. Mrs. Reagan took her complaint to Equity and Equity cabled Mr. Robeson, demanding that he return here and fulfill the terms of his contract with Mrs. Reagan. As Mr. Robeson did not intend to return, Mrs. Robeson salled from London and arrived here August 21 for the purpose of trying to straighten the matter out with Mrs. Reagan. "Aside from offering to buy the contract," said Mrs. Robeson, "we also offered to pay the cost of the damages to Mrs. Reagan. "I had an appointment with Mrs. Reagan and Frank Gillmore, president of Equity, on August 23, and although Mrs. Reagan was to meet us there, she telephoned and postponed the meeting. At first Mrs. Reagan seemed inclined to compromise, but she apparently consulted her attorney in the meanwhile, for she remained adamant. She still insists that Mr. Robeson appear, although she has as yet produced no record of any kind to indicate that she is going ahead with the revenue." Mrs. Reagan explained that all the various scrips, lyrics and so on have been distributed to the proper persons, whom she does not name, Mrs. Robeson said. Equity listened to Mrs. Robeson's story sympathetically, it is reported, but the suspension was inevitable under the conditions. The suspension of one month is temporary pending Mr. Robeson's appearance here not later than Friday, after which date, if he does not return, further measures may be taken in the matter. Mrs. Robeson is planning to sail for London at the end of this week or the first of next week. The Robesons reside at 76 Carlton Hill, St. John's Wood, London. Robeson Signs With Powell According to Mrs. Robeson, her husband has signed a contract for a concert tour with Lionel Powell, famous London concert manager, who arranges exclusive itineraries for Paderewski, McCormack, Challaink, Kreisler and other celebrities. The tour will begin next year. A contract with Powell is said to be equal to attaining the heights in opera. HELD IN DARING THEFT OF EXPENSIVE AUTO Accused of stealing a high-priced automobile, Jack Steele, 23, 440 Lenox avenue, was arraigned in Morrissia Court before Magistrate McKiniry on Thursday and held without ball for the Grand Jury on a charge of grand larceny on complaint of Raymond Vesco, white, a chauffeur, 210 East Ninety-eighth street, who said the car was stolen in a drive-off on Spence plaza near 149th street. Steele came away with the car and came back to the same spot in another car, the police said, and was arrested by Patrolman Grossman of the Morrissia station. NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1928 "Whitewash King" Edmund Bailey, 44, 1526 Brook avenue, who calls himself the "whitewash king," was held in $500 ball for Special Sessions on a charge or possessing policy slips when arraigned in West Farms Court Sunday before Magistrate McKiniry, who also found it necessary to prefer against Bailey a charge of violating the Volstead law, for which he will be tried later in Federal Court. When Detectives Rieger and Bauer of Inspector Thompson's staff raided Bailey's basement apartment for policy slips they also found a 50-gallon liquor stock, 800 gallons of mass mash and about 2,000 empty bottles ranging in size from half-pints up to a quart, they charged. ACCIDENT ON FIFTH AVE. BUS INJURES FOUR Four residents of Harlem* were injured early last week when a Fifth avenue bus in which they were riding struck a road depression - at Washington Square, North, and mounted the sidewalk. Laura Johnson, 250 West 136th street, suffered shock; Frederick Fitzpatrick, 316 West 138th street, suffered a possible fracture in the pelvic region, while his wife, Sarah, suffered shock. Elsie Johnson, same address, sustained contusions of the left side. All were taken to St. Vincent's Hospital* for treatment, but were afterward able to return home. There were 24 passengers on the bus at the time of the accident. The others escaped injury. Held Anyway The police said he was drunk but the police surgeon declared him sober, and Thomas Walnwright, 202 West 149th street, arrested Thursday night by Hudson County, N. J. police for driving while intoxicated, was charged with reckless driving when the brakes on his car were found faulty. Donald Held for Grand Jury (Continued from Page 1.) is a jury in the world that will convict him. "High-handed intimidation" was the term applied to Grant's arrest in court by Attorney John William Smith, former Alderman, 28 Cortlandt street, who fought bitterly for the freedom of both Donald and Grant. The same attorney also represented another witness in the case for Donald in the person of Pedro Suner, 21, a native of Panama, 234 West 146th street, who was also arrested in court by one of the four officers who were injured during the street disturbance. Suner was charged with simple assault upon the officer at the scene of the riot and was held in $1,000 ball for Special Seasons. Yesterday morning Assistant District Attorney James State told the court that he had ready a witness for the people by the name of Pendergast, together with a few others (Notchover, Stewart and perhaps two others), whom Male said, were ready to testify in corroboration of Ellis' testimony that they saw Donald kick Kubell. This was to indicate that the People had made out a prima facie case against the defendant Donald. Magistrate McQuade agreed upon this point and did not call the other witnesses to the stand. He reduced the ball and held Donald for the Grand Jury. Attorney Smith said yesterday that he is taking an appeal from the decision of Magistrate Dodge, who on August 14 found Donald guilty of disorderly conduct and sentenced him to ten days in the workhouse, on complaint of Mrs. Zerlana Chavis, 659 Lenox avenue, who testified that she positively identified Donald as one of three men who obroke into her home and beat and choked her. It was the screams of Mrs. Chavis that started all the trouble. Three witnesses refuted her testimony. Patrolman Kubell testified Friday that he had grabbed the first man he saw running when he heard Mrs. Chavis scream, and that he let this man go and grabbed Donald, who was intoxicated. Kubell and De Stella reached Donald at about the same time and, according to witnesses, began beating him unmercifully. It was this act of brutality, witnesses said, that caused the crowd to protest. Donald, under arrest, was walked into the station house in West 135th street, but was later brought out on a stretcher. Fourth Seventh Avenue Fire Victim Dies in Hospital; Missed Ladder, Fell Fourth Seventh Avenue Fire Victim Dies in Hospital; Missed Ladder, Fell Two men, a mother and her five-months-old baby met their deaths, while ten others were injured, about 9 a.m. last Wednesday when a fire of supposed incendiary origin completely burned out the interiors of all five floors of a tenement house at 1968 Seventh avenue; near 119th street. Two men were arrested in the tenement house next door, suspected of having set the blaze. They could not explain their presence. Mrs. Millis Rutledge, 22, wife of Johns Rutledge, who works in the Custom House, and her baby daughter, Barbara, were found suffocated by the dense black smoke in their second floor apartment. Firemen worked over them for fifteen minutes in a vain effort to revive them. The dead body of Albert Gomez, 24, who had arrived here the day before as an immigrant from Santo Domingo, was found burned almost beyond recognition. parked under the stairway on the first floor and that probably a fire had set the fire in it. This is added to the method of starting incendiary fires.

He sustained fractures of the skull and both legs. He was removed to Harlem Hospital in a critical condition and died Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. The crowds that filled the streets were given the thrill of their lives when Bernardo Emers, 35, and his wife, Martinas, 25, attempted to leap from the fifth floor. A frantic plea from a thousand throats restrained them, however. The couple made their way to safety on a three-inch stone ledge to an adjoining window at the firemen's and spectators looked breathlessly up. Firemen and policemen swarmed up the face of the building as quickly as ladders could be raised and a half dozen or more women and children were carried to safety. The remalder of the ten families in the house escaped over the roof or down the fire escapes. Among those who saved the lives of the fire-trapped tenants were Patrolmen Donahue, Riley, Fox and McLaughlin of the West 123d street station and Fireman John A. Fitzhue. The fire was discovered by John A. Fitzgerald, a white taxi driver, 73 East 123d street, who turned in an alarm. Battalion Chief George turned in the second alarm which brought Deputy Chief Clark and Smoky Joe Martin. Deputy Fire Marshal S. B. Willis reported afterward that he had traced the blaze to a baby carriage For Ams A Life In For Readers of the Amsterdam News A Real Whole Life Insurance Policy . . that protects you for your entire life without an increase in premium. . . that pays triple face amount for death due to travel accident. . . that pays double face amount for death due to any accident. . . that enables you to borrow money against it in the time of need. . . that requires no medical examination or red tape.

"There is little Smith sentiment in Virginia," said Mr. Tolliver. "Not only are the claims that Negroes are rapidly organizing Smith clubs untrue, but, the much advertised meeting held at Buckroe Beach a month ago was a fizzle. It was attended by the Democratic organizer for that region, and a few disgruntled former Republicans." "N. J.

MAGILL Whether the J. Finley Wilson forcing nearly every measure throutration label and effected the defender treasurer, and George E. Bat recent twenty-ninth annual grand lo O. E. of W. in Chicago, is the qi discussed throughout the jurisdicti Whether the J. Finley Wilson machine went too far in forcing nearly every measure through that bore the administration label and effected the defeat of James T. Carter, former treasurer, and George E. Bates, former secretary, at the recent twenty-ninth annual grand lodge session of the I., B., P. O. E. of W. in Chicago, is the question now being generally discussed throughout the jurisdiction of Elkdom. One thing is certain: the last Elks' convention was the most steam-rollered and the most controlled of any previous one, and some of them have been remarkable for machine control. By methods which tied the hands of several big delegations, the administration forces were able to remove Carter and Bates, the two cumilining blocks in the administration scheme of running the order. Both men have consistently remained out of that choice inner circle around which Wilson has built a machine not only powerful but ruthless at times in its action. been improperly fled, hence they said they had no jurisdiction. Thomas H. Brown, former exalted ruler of Imperial Lodge, also under a ninety-nine year suspension, was unable to have even a report read on his case which was considered, together with that of Hanson's. Hanson and Brown lacked administration support, hence they remain on the outside looking in. Atlantic City Next One of the administration measures that could not get over was the While they had the confidence of the vast majority of the delegates who would have liked to have seen both men remain in office as a wedge against possible hasty actions on the part of the grand exalted ruler, the steam roller was used on the former treasurer and secretary so effectively that they were flattened right out of the picture. James C. Kelly of Birmingham, Alabama, who succeeds Bates as secretary, is one of the cogs in that ultra body that Wilson has built up since his election as grand exalted ruler. James T. Martin of Chicago, who succeeds Carter as treasurer, is not so much a member of that inner circle. The administration was first said to have decided upon Major R. R. Wright of Philadelphia for treasurer, but the major thought he saw something brewing that was unhealthful, so he withdrew his name. Martin may cause the administration more trouble than Carter did before the next convention convenes at Atlantic City in 1929. Dictated Elections The machine forces had a carefully planned program. It included the election of Joseph James of Jacksonville, Fla., to succeed himself as grand esteemed loyal knight. Andrew T. Mitchell, exalted ruler of Manhattan Lodge, who was a candidate for that office, supposedly with the administration endorsement, nearly upset the machine's plan early in the convention when at a caucus, presided over in his usual dictatorial and lordly manner by William C. Hueston of Gary, Indiana, Mitchell clearly beat James as the administration candidate for the office of grand esteemed loyal knight. Hueston was forced to resort to all kinds of tactics to declare James the candidate, to prevent the administration plans going on on the rocks right at the start of the convention. A compromise in the Mitchell case was affected when Dr. Holland R. Johnson of Brooklyn, former grand esteemed lecturing knight, reelinquished his office to Mitchell's candidacy upon the promise that he would be made grand medical director, a new office which Wilson is to create. Accordingly, Mitchell was elected grand esteemed lecturing knight with the administration approval in less than five minutes' time. Sidney Thompson of Cleveland, Ira L. Derrick of Los Angeles and Joseph Levi of St. Paul were elected grand esquire, grand inner guard and grand lier, respectively, all, of course, with the administration approval. R. E. Pharow of Atlanta, Georgia, succeeded in going to the Trustee Board, and John Love of Rosanoke, Virginia, becomes a grand auditor. James B. Allen of Imperial Lodge who worked up the case against Charles M. Hanson, former secretary of Imperial Lodge and deposed grand auditor, and brought about his ninety-nine year suspension, becomes grand auditor to fill Hanson's unexpired term. Hanson's case, which came before the Appeals and Grievance Committee as Case Number 3, was declared by that committee to have A NEW OPEN TO USED CAR EVERY automobile on the floor in this is a "trade-in" which we sell at alloy of our sales are direct to used car dea exceptionally low prices: GRAND OPEN AT OUR NEW "USED C 287 MOTT AVE., bet. 1 Convenient to automobile seekers everyw Ave., Lexington Ave., subway to Mott Ha cars transfer to 123th St. A NEW OPEN DOOR TO USED CAR VALUES!

Hanson and Brown lacked administration support, hence they remain on the outside looking in. Atlantic City Next One of the administration measures that could not get over was the taking of the 1829 convention to Kansas City. The machine was pledged to the far Western City, the home of Dr. William J. Tompkins, chairman of the Health Commission and the man who showed Negroes the way into their cage at the Democratic convention in Houston, Tex., last June. Although New York with its big vote had swallowed everything the administration had forced down up to this time, they refused to consider Kansas City on the ground of the expense and the color prejudice existing there. Baltimore was a hot contender for the convention next year along with Kansas City, but the administration looked with disfavor upon the Monumental City because it is the home of George McMechen, former grand exulted ruler and a non-administration man, and because George E. Bates, deposed grand secretary, was for Baltimore. The administration, seeing that the East, docile and obedient as lambs in all other things, would likely kick over the traces, switched to Atlantic City. Baltimore and the Sea Shore city went to bat for the honor and, though it appeared that Baltimore had by far the greatest number of votes, Atlantic City was declared the next convention city. The Chicago convention had the usual jammed pay-off. Early in the season the word went out that there would be no committee padding to pay off the faithful or the private friends, such as there was in New York last year or in Cleveland in 1927. There was a wailing and grashing of teeth, for many of the brothers have learned to depend on that hand-out in order to get back home, even though they are not delegates. So loud was the protest against closing the pork barrel that the original idea was thrown into the discard and in the crush waiting to be paid off could be seep rich man, poor man, beggar man, doctor, lawyer, professional man. They were all there, producing one of the mysteries of the new order of things in Elkdom, that of men who so obviously do not need the money and who ordinarily would not take something they had not earned, waiting for their paltry hand-out. Those who had been "good" and voted right got on the pay roll, while those who had voted against the administration in any particular got right off the pay sheet. Crossing and double-crossing ran rampant and many who were supposed to be "amqng the favored" found themselves double-crossed and out in the cold. Among some of the administration propositions accepted were those to pay each member of the Board of Trustees $50 per month and per diem expenses to and from each convention, including Pullman and railroad fare; a proposition submitted by Caspar Holstein of Monarch Lodge, pledging the confidence, sympathy and hearty cooperation of the order to Perry W. Howard, who is under suspension as a United States Assistant Attorney General; one to pay the sec The Pay-Off NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1928 To serve adequately the banking needs of the Harlem section of New York City THE DUNBAR NATIONAL BANK OF NEW YORK 150th Street and Eighth Avenue (DUNBAR APARTMENTS BUILDING) Will open for business September 17, 1928 A new national bank completely equipped in personnel and facilities to provide immediate and direct banking accommodations.

C., for the appointment of police judge in the National Capital; and voting $50 per month pension to Past Grand Exalted Rulers Dr. J. E. Mills and Frank Hunter. Two administration measures that could not make the grade, though a big effort was made to force both through, was the Fidelity Fund proposition and that to reduce the delegation quota from its present ratio of one to each one hundred members to one for each five hundred members. The latter proposition was killed and the former was laid on the table, where it was never recalled. The Fidelity Fund idea will now be submitted to a committee of lawyers for perfecting. Chicago Poor Convention City Chicago Poor Convention City Dissatisfaction was loud and nearly universal over the arrangements made by the Chicago Convention Committee for the entertainment of the delegates and visitors. The general impression was that this year's conference was the poorest arranged and most locally directed by the local committee of any previous session. Chicago's decorations were poor and in many sections almost pathetic. Re-elect Mrs. Berry With a vote so close that not until the final ballot was cast was the victor of the contest known, the women re-elected Mrs. Ella G. Berry grand daughter ruler over Mrs. Abbie Johnson of Philadelphia. Mrs. Johnson declined to run for the office formerly held by her, that of grand assistant daughter ruler, and Mrs. Elizabeth Klimbough of Brooklyn, an active candidate for the office, was elected by a close vote. Rosa L. Blocker of Invincible Temple, New York, was re-elected grand daughter escort. Because of laxness on the part of the Chicago Convention Committee, the women's session, held in the Metropolitan Temple, was attended with much confusion and had to end Friday evening before the business of the session was really over, in order to give the church over to the church authorities, according to the contract made with the local committee. WOMAN HELD AS KIDNAPPER FREED Mrs. Sarah Harrell, 25, 281 Edgcombe avenue, charged with kidnapping six-year-old Ruby Davis, 2283 Eighth avenue, was dismissed on the charge Monday in General Sessions Court, Part II, by Judge Mancuso, who handed down a direct acquittal. Mrs. Harrell's defense was an alib, in that she produced witnesses to corroborate the story of her whimsey on the day the child "disappeared." June 2 last. She has been confined to prison under $3,000 ball since June 7, the day of her arrest. Mrs. Harrell is an aunt of the missing child. Attorney Ralph C.

"I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath. "My back ached and I could not bed with any ease. Any way I turned I was in misery. "I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I was till I peeled. I was then able to go back to my work. I am a railroader and my work is hard. "I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I'm 52 years old I can do my work with ease right along with younger men. I am never without Black-Draught. I give it to my nieces for colds and stomach troubles and it helps them. It helps dizziness and bad taste in the mouth—an all "round good medicine." Costs only I cent a dose.

As late as 11:45 o'clock Wednesday night an ebony-hued kid of not more than 12 years was riding alone on an uptown Ninth avenue "L" train. In appearance he looked very much like the longshoremen who were returning from the docks—tired, hungry, dirty and sleepy. While the longshoremen managed to keep awake, he slept soundly and without fear. It was a prosperous looking Jewish man, who was getting off at Ninety-ninth street, who had courage enough to arouse the boy and ask him if he knew where he was going. By the time the train reached 151st street none less than a dozen people—white and colored; men and women; married and single; mothers and fathers; rich and poor—had busied themselves about the boy's welfare and destination. Perhaps it was sheer curiosity that caused all of this, but I am inclined to believe that it was the power that a child holds over human beings that made them all anxious. Even as I left the train I felt concerned about one so young and so apparently in need of a bath, fresh clothing, a warm meal, a home and a mother.—T. E.

The first thing to consider in buying blankets is size. Be sure to give some consideration to the thickness of what hang over or to the need you need. For example, blankets with box springs require a little more allowance. For the single or twin bed, 60x80 is excellent; for the double bed, 72x84, this added length blanket is added for those who like a blanket to come well up over the shoulders. Quality. The quality of the blanket is the next thing to consider. See that it is light. Next, it should be of close weave and thickly tapped. In considering all wool blanks, we often hear the term "virgin wool." Virgin wool means new wool, or wool which has not been used before in manufacturing processes. It is used with the quality or grade of the wool. I have several letters before me from readers wanting to know if they should purchase all wool blankets. As the situation stands today, the buyer of blankets has no clear knowledge of the actual wool contents of the blankets. The blanket industry in this country has produced blankets of high quality in both "all wool" and "part wool." In addition to these part wool combinations, the blankets made up of all wool filling in a Such blankets have great warmth, and because of the cotton warp they are not so susceptible to shrinkage when washed. ton, D.

Sharpe Bindings. In choosing bindings, we should consider service ability and expense and not beauty alone. Satin is unequalled for luster and richness. It represents the most expensive type or binding, still we cannot expect it to remain as beautiful after frequent washing or dry cleaning. Satin makes an excellent, binding and gives wonderful service. For the baby's blanket, the blanket-stitch edging is always practical. Double Blankets Not So Popular. The old-fashioned idea that blankets should be made double is rapidly giving way to a preference for single length blankets. Single blankets are easier to handle in making beds, more convenient for summer use, and much lighter when it comes to washing. Daugherty, Dorothy Thompkins.

Paris shows preference for novel ornaments. Hats and vests are the major fabrics in winter. Small hats still lead the Paris millinery winter parade. Brown is the leading color. Furs are short and curly. Scarfs are very popular for day and evening. A coat for every dress constitutes sharpness for autumn street wear. Velvet plain or printed. Introduces formality for autumn afternoons. Yokes are smart this season. The felt hat is as popular as ever falls. It makes its appearance in two forms—the brimless cap for the girl, and the hat with a shaped brim. The fall hat depends for trimming on interesting manipulation of the felt itself or the discreet addition of some other fabric. Jewelled pins and ornaments are no longer worn by the smart woman Menu Breakfast.

They imagine themselves in love with the wonderful person they met in Europe, Atlantic City, Pittsburgh, and London, they do not receive answers to their letters, or if they do, the answers don't sound so encouraging. Take my advice and forget the summer romances. Most likely the person you flirted with has a sweetheart back home and he or she is trying to "let you down" gently. If you have a sweetheart, stick to that sweetheart and cast the new glamour from your mind. Don't believe "summer" tales about the property, Cadillacs, stocks and high positions. Stick to the faithful one at home. At least you know what that person has or hasn't. For "Twenty-one" and 'Bachelor' Dear Eggy Ann: My experience has been profitable to me and I can offer suggestions to both "Twenty-one" and Disgusted" and "Bachelor." Fair play in all walks of life means much. The youths of 1928 are strong, bold and courageous. Think of all the disgusted people who have to go through, and yet they stand up for what is right. "Twenty-one" (should hold fast. She can win with her high ideals. In fact, we need more like her. Encourage the younger ones and you'll be surprised. Life is a joke. You can have them store my wedding ring came from! I wasn't an owner of an engagement ring, I'm glad to say. Maybe I would have thought more about the ring than the man, like some girls—then, again, maybe not. Ideas are too full of "I." Important Mr. Somebody: Ha! Ha! Does he stop to consider his faults and how he could improve himself? My heart has some love scars and I admit you can't be happy without them, either. Time is all things and I'm anxiously waiting.

THE HEAD which tops this article is indicative of the jazz age in which we live. It is an age of not only physical violence but violence of thought. As dumb as it may seem, it takes a time than at any other time in our life why the artistic output of the masters are far superior to that thing which has brought with it tendency to live too fast. In what the masters gave us we find a desire to reach up for better things. In what this age gives us we must have a mental or emotional strength. Men around us assume certain things, and assuming they come to believe their own thoughts which, when given voice, lack that confidence which brings about the resentment which will always be shown by men. Underlings are forced to cringe in every age, hence from early childhood, to hide the natural resentment which comes to the breast of real men when others, cherishing ambitions which must be met because of their own worth, crush under foot those they think stand in their way. WE notice that a more is on foot to unionize Negro stage hands. Hurray! Negro motion picture operators not only are today enjoying the fruits of becoming unionized, but from what we can learn have recently been able to be possible for them to live better—to live like the white men occupying the same positions in their lines in this big city. We were told and we are told that the white men would immediately see to it that all Negro stage actors offer they become unionized. We doubt it. With a few Negro newspapers with gigs ennoun to send up a howl in behalf of their own the union would do the same thing as they did in the case of the motion picture operators in Amsterdam. News are here to be consulted by anybody devises of seeking information in the matter. WHICH brings us to the letter of our own Mr. Frank Schiffman of the Lafayette Theatre appearing in another part of today's paper. Mr. Schiffman, in answer to a letter from the Dramatic Editor (God, that name hurts some of our friends, and how) tells us he is against allowing the Lafayette to be used for any testimonial benefit for the individual but he is all set for helping our institutions. Fine, Mr. Schiffman, fine. Along with a number of actors we consider Sam Craig an institution and if necessary we'll incorporate him. We wonder, in our dumbness, if the young lady who some months ago enjoyed a benefit at the Lafayette is an institution or an individual. So far she has failed to show up at Cape Gris Nez and if Mr. Schiffman and others interested will but turn to our sport page, they will find where the young lady in question made good try for the prize in the Wrigley Swim Contest in Canada. BROTIER Schiffman in trying to make his letter as nice as possible without leaving any openings for a comeback from us made the mistake of stating that HE will not call upon us any individual. Now who in the world asked Mr. Schiffman to do such a terrible thing? All we wanted was the Lafayette Theatre and Negro actors and Negro spectators planned to come to Negro stage manager, Sam Craig. We appreciate the all-consuming desire of Brother Schiffman to let us use the Lafayette for one night (midnight) once in a while for our inocent cousins, and we will consider the opportunity for a try at what we consider now, and will consider, empty glory, why not to one who has put in fifteen years of faithful service as stage manager at the Lafayette Theatre see; we are not interested in getting got desire before we can enjoy the same right as white men, and that is to show in concrete form our appreciation for service AT TIME WHEN IT WILL DO. We was destitute he would perhaps commit suicide and we would not enjoy the opportunity to let him know what we think of him. True, we COULD give him a wonderful funeral and tell one of his friends what he did but when it comes to showing him what a fine fellow HE IS, nothing done. Eh, wot? ```markdown ``` We remember correctly Mr. Schiffman in a personal and most friendly conversation (let me here digress for a moment and tell you an all-way story about the time I was there) I think I shakes hands with their rightมิตร because I'd be a good man in an olden times it prevented men meeting one another and assuming to be well. We did not know to know if we were in a SWOLDS) suggested that the idea of a testimonial benefit for Craig was in the mind of the writer. I honestly speaking, we never thought that such a tribute was to be paid to us. I was assume that the idea had its birth in our mind, should we be ashamed or proud? Thank you, friends. What big thing ever had its birth in the minds of the world? I needed no people that some time I was always thought that somebody fathered the thought and upon disclosing it sent it out into the world with the idea of being and many times closed carried it through. But such a note of the case in this ir北部. Some notors (planos don't look at your own image when you hit your eyes and the things you see) make some saliots notors, suggested the idea and we thought well enough of it to make a note about it. But, "still right, Mr. Schiffman, I think he's a very good day we're going home to a theatre of our which we are waking up and your letter should be at the time of the life I have. We wonder what is the time to take the album for a first time and Conver's cost was a few hundred weeks which we failed to get back. I am certain that a benefit of the life I have was not to be given to me, but it would guarantee an against loss. We'll see they still want the testimonial. BROADWAY is a popular street and those seeking to win its favor must adhere to certain fixed rules from which they cannot stray or Broadway will not allow them. But never notice that when Miller, and Lester, of the other big titters are heading for the big Street how they give Harlem a wide berth? There's a certain to what some will consider their masterpiece; but your Broadway you'll confess that they are far from being mad.

Miller's Broadway Rastus Hit at Lafayette Theatre After an absence of approximately one year, during which time his large company played in almost every city, his manager, in turn, Miller and his "mob" week's engagement at the Lafayette Theatre on Monday in "Broadway Rastus," the new 1928 edition, "Broadway Rastus" is a distinguished revue type of show. It is the story of a love-lorn youth who wants to become a great man and win the hand of the girl who spurned him when he met the man of his dreams, Athabasca, Georgia. His efforts to win fame bring him into the wildest adventures until he lands in New York—a great man—"standing seventh avenue in front of the Lafayette Theatre with the rest of them." "Broadway Rastus" is presented by a cast of about fifty performers—mostly girls. Comedians, dramatic artists, musicians, singers and dancers are among them. Emmett Anthony, one of the funniest in his line, heads the cast, being assisted in the fun-making by Miller himself. Others in the cast are: George Crawford, S. H. Dudley, Jr., Ida Brown, Blanche Thompson, Boatner and Sultus, Arthur Allen, Gladys Thompson, Mary Clemons, Bernie Brown, Michael Sherod, Helen Powell. There're twenty chorus girls and boys and the snappy Broadway Rastus Four. It is a long time since such an aggregation of wonderful talent has been seen in one play. The feature picture for the week at the Lafayette is "Happiness Ahead," starring Colleen Moore. columns of praise for what you have been in the habit of doing here for generations.

I will be doing it well you are all doing ovah dar. No theatre handy for such a benefit. Must wait until I get desistute. Outlook for another is at least as good for another as at least. Made mistake of planting peppers, beets, eggplants, tomatoes, etc., and raising some chickens in our backyard this summer when they start to weep weeks more. Still sleeping in the park lights but that's a luxury until winter comes. Thanks again, old top! AND what constitutes one of these midnight benefits staged by outsiders anyway? The people simply get an opportunity to host, performers and other entertainers and see at the Harlem houses. A real midnight benefit in something that the host class of people in Harlem look for is that they are willing to pay their money within a certain time frame that they were perfectly satisfied to see something entirely different to. These people have been accustomed to. These people and it is to be recognized that cannot have them a little oftener. Remember, we speak of benefits and not excuse for many of the night evils to stay out a little longer. TEXOR Recitals and Attendance THE HARLEM SCHOOL 2013 NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK Tel.

Kent & Bernice, the clever dancers, with their fine pianist, Barreto, are at the popular Alhambra. Jim and Jack are at the big Colseum. Layton & Johnstone, entertainers par excellence, are at the Empire Strafford, and the Poor Women Kings are at the new Astoria Cinema, Charing Cross and Oxford street. Russell & Vivian are doing fine at the Empire Birmingham and on the same bill with the well known Carpentier & Hatch. Scott & Whaley, with their own revue, are at the Empire, Islington, and are booked in and around London for the next twenty weeks. They recently turned down an offer with Clayton & Weller for their new Palace Revue in the West End. The Southern Trio, after a short tour in the North of England, have returned to London. The clever American dancing girls are still a big feature in "Showboat" at Drury Lane. The Negro artists are as popular as ever in England and the fad is fast being taken on here in having Negroes in the different shows. The No. 2 "Showboat" opens in a fortnight with a large number of Negroes, mostly English born and Africans, and I may add that East American Negroes are more successful in singing European contrasts unless fully protected as regard to salary. It costs as much or more to live over here than it does in American, and if the managers want you: bad enough they will pay. So demand a good salary before you sign to come across. It doesn't have to necessarily be in American dollars, because the English pound is just as good. T. Elder Hears' Blackbirds are still going strong and are in and around London for eight weeks. The popular Eddie Hunter is more than holding his own, while Johnny Nitt and Williams & Taylor are show stoppers—constantly. Al Wilkins and Mike Riley, the class dancing lads, are a big hit in the new Casino de Paris Revue in Paris. They have been on the Continent until recently, where they were a big success last winter. Jimmie Ferguson, the American comedian who was such a big hit in the late Chocolate Dandles, has arrived in London and will be featured in the new palace show due to open in the West End this month. The Four Harmony Kings have recently turned down an offer with Classical Music. The quartet was wanted for the new Palace Revive, but as in many other cases here does not justify English managers to American colored acts already here does not justify their leaving their variety dates. The Southern Trio have recently turned down offers from Sir Alfred Butt and Clayton & Waller on account of salaries offered. The legitimate managers will find that the real Negro work for small money at all places are other good Negro acts that have been offered parts in West End productions, but the English managers do not want to pay, therefore it is far better for them to send to America and get what they want regardless of their having to pay far more than they offer those who are already here. It is rumored that Jack Buccanan, the English actor and producer, who is producing Topsy & Eva (with the well known American Duncan Sisters), wanted eight or ten red hot colored American dancers girls to do a couple of feature numbers in the show, but the idea was turned down flat by the Duncan girls, who did not fancy that all, and did not want the colored girls in the show and now have been decided on having the white girls make up brown in order to carry out the idea. Sam Wooding and his band, with the clever blues singer, Edith Wilson, are doing fine throughout Germany, and at present are in Frankfort-on-Naim. Noble Sissle and his band are a big hit in Paris. Sissle has certainly made a name for himself with the French people and with the master of ceremony idea he and his band are a big drawing card. It is said after the Ambassadeur engagement he and band will go to Berlin before returning to America. Leon Abbey and his band are holding their own in the south of France, where they have been all summer. Greenlee & Drayton, the well known dancers, are at the Coliseum Theatre, Oslo, Norway, this month. The boys are the usual hit and are always big favorites on the continent. After finishing at the Ufa Palace in Berlin with Sam Woolf, Grand Revel opened in Norway. They are expecting to open at the big KIT KAT Club in London in early September. "Slow Kid" Thompson, being such a tremendous hit when at the Ufa Palace at Berlin, was retained by the management after the Greenlee & Drayton, Sam Woolf, Grand Revel booked three months in Berlin and is now on the bill with the famous "Whispering Barlone" Jack Smith. Harry Revel, the 21-year-old English composer and late pianist with Noble Sissle, has arrived in London. All eyes are centered on the lad and the man. With young Revel in a short time be the "irting Berlin of England", Harry Revel's number is indeed a tremendous success on this side, and I measure once it is heard in America it will be even a bigger success over there. The number has recently been sold to the Bud de Silva & Brown. The New York Times has put the pianist on the Casino de Paris and Palace Revels for early October in Paris. He and Sissle have seven songs placed with English publishers in London and she leaving Sissle has been appointed assistant manager of a big his must firm. Harry Revel indeed a the lad and is especially traveled extensively, and does not sanction American prelude in any form. Leslie Hutchinson, pianist and entertainer, has been on the slick list for the last three years, which compiled him to remain indoors. However, he is back in the pit at the London Pavilion with Cochran's latest "This Year of Grace." Dance Revue Contest at Lincoln Prize Offered for Winners of "Lindy Hop" With Engagement Thrown In Dancers, private and otherwise, who have been priding themselves on their own ability, will have a chance not only to perform in the "Linda World Dance Contest" in the "Linda New Lincoln Theatre next Monday, their reward will be a substantial prize, to say nothing of an engagement at the Lincoln Theatre will take place every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night for a month. Each night a cash prize will be given and the winner, the best dancer on the prize on Friday night. At the conclusion of the contests the winners will be seen "doing their stuff" on the stage of the Lincoln for a week. Dixie "argobandos" from Grace Smiley will movie star; Bob and Baby Golns, Doc Strain, Dixie Kid and the Three Ginger Snaps, with the popular Lincoln Steppers, are regaling Lincoln patrons the great show, which they beekeeping the crowds in good humor from Monday afternoon. The latter part of the week will find Richard Dix, star of *Easy Come*, Easy Go*, appearing at the head of this splendid release. The picture enjoyed great acclaim and is acclaimed a universally popular success. It is a thoroughly laughable, entertaining, farce-complex, moving situations and bumps them. The "Lindy Hop Revue," which is underlined for next week, will introduce Lotte Brown, Cy Williams, Brother Albert, Wade and Jade, and for next week (Shorty Brown and Pauline). All in all, Lincoln presentations these days are right in line with the best of the kind being offered at other houses and, being centrally located, the Lincoln, in will draw its full quota of patronage from a fast growing clientele. Shelton Brooks at the Lafayette Next Week The second of the musical comedies organized as a result of the recent conference of the theatre-owners in Pittsburgh will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre next week. It is called "Nitties of the Musical Comedy" produced by the world-famous music composer and comedian, Shelton Brooks. "Niftytes of 1923" is the answer of the colored theatre owners to the demand all over the country for a better type show. He is one of the first shows over organized. Supporting Shelton Brooks are Lena Wilson, Hunter and Warfield, St. Clair Dotsong and Yette, Wiburn Philo and King Hunter, Billy Bley and King Hunter. Most of these artists have not been East in years. Then there is a chorus of twelve girls—recruited in Chicago and in New York to perform the same role than anything Harlem has yet seen. The photoplay program will include "The Leopard Lady," starring Jacqueline Logan, Jack Johnson, the great star of the show, will appear at a special added attraction with "Niftytes of 1928." Johnson is one of the most picturesque figures in public life. Since he has appeared in marvelous physique. He is Tex Rickard's standby as a trainer and coach: he has fought leading heavyweights all over the world and is a commanding figure in the world of A special act will be presented enabling Jack to demonstrate his remarkable abilities as a fighter and an actor. Justice Abrams Calls A voluntary gesture of friendship that will not go without its full meed of appreciation on the part of The Amsterdam News and its readers was the appearance on Monday afternoon of the Hon. Lewis A. Abrams, Judge of the Municipal Court, who dropped in Just bubbling over with praise for the colored performers he saw in "Showboat" in London on his recent trip. Justice Abrams was so acquainted with the heartfelt performances in which the colored performers are being treated in London his enthusiasm has led us to the belief that his visit to the famous Drury Lane was one of the big features of a trip which has left him looking the picture of health. He was not only satisfied to enjoy the work of the colored performers in the show, but stated, with emphasis, that it is the only thing which keeps the production going. But bushman, nationally congratulates the actors and returned with the appended list of names of "the Mississippi dancers," which we are only too glad to reproduce, so that friends will know how well they are thought of by outstanding Americans visiting England. The names for: Iola Colston, 107 Niciasias and Norma Davis, 107 West 127th street; Ethel Taylor, 210 West 127th street; La Rosa Austin, 248 West 137th street; Rachel Chich, 246 West 139th street; Corrine Meaux, 246 West 139th street; Drola Colbert, 2 West 130th street; Rosaalind Jackson, 231 Edgecombe avenue; Lee Gadeden, 246 West 139th street; Corrine Meaux, 246 West 139th street; Evelyn Dickerson, 145 West 138th street; Glennie Cheeseman, 228 West 138th street. SINGERS AND DANCERS IN "GOIN' HOME," A DRAMATIC SHOW Leo Bailey and Brevard Burnett, the colored comedians who provide so much mirth in "Goin' Home" with their impersonations of Negro doughbies in France after the war, were born and lived on the sidewalks of New York, but on different sides of the town. Bailey, the smaller member of the duo, first saw the light of day on East Ninety-ninth street, while Burnett was born on West 147th street, and it was on these streets that the cameras of swaving and dancing by performing for pennies which were tossed to them. Later they each played in a number of shows. Bailey was seen on Broadway in "The WII Rose" and he appeared in the famous "Folks Bergere" and in London he did a vaudeville turn. Returning to this country, Bailey trained up with Burnett for a tour of the Keith and Loew vaudeville circuits. Burnett, in the meantime, had appeared in the show "Sirut, Miss Lizzie," and in stock. In order to appear in Brock Pemberton's production of "Goin' Home," at the Hudson Theatre, the team turned down valuette bookings, as they felt the production on Broadway would greatly enhance their reputations. This has proved to be the case, as the boys received excellent notices from all the critics and have been approached by a number of companies to play in talking pictures. This they cannot accept, however, until "Goin' Home" has run its course, which appears to be some time in the distant future. Jacques Carlier, who appears available now, went into rehearsal last month, has been engaged by Brock Pemberton to teach Clarence Redd, who plays the Serigalease, a new dance to add to his African dance number in the second act. "Goin' Home" is the fourth week at the Hudson Theatre. Edited by Romeo L. Dougherty Girls Form New Basketball League to Operate Here The Colored Girls' Basketball League, at the Randall Memorial Presbyterian Church, 61 West 137th street, will hold its first monthly meeting on Friday, Sept. 21. This is the first time in the long history of the game that a successful attempt has been made to organize a girls' basketball league. The idea of such a combination, however, is not entirely new. It is what New York has long awaited. It has been received with enthusiasm by teams all over the city. Organizations that have already specified representatives are the following: Gibraltar Girls, Helena Ellison; The Dauntlers, L. Mitchell; Blue Birds, Caswell Reid; Defender (Wilson); Leo DeFenner; St. Agnes Mildred La Shay; Waco, Thelma Smith; Rainbows, Grace Watkins. "AMERICA'S LEADING LAFAY 7TH AVE.

RS OF FLORIDA at the INNEST BALLROOM No Benefit for Sam Craig? "Gypsy Love" a Hit at Alhambra "Grand Opera vs. Blues" Offers Appropriate Setting And now it's a gypsy camp that furnishes the theme for the Alhambra Drama Players. This week a clearing in the forest is the background—the caravan of the wandering tribe is seen in all its rich coloring, the campfire by moonlight, and the gay costumes of the fortune-tellers, the horse thieves and all the characters who wander, hibernate, and explore the earth. "Gypsy Love" is a romance different from anything yet done at the Alhambra. Susie. Sutton is queen of the tribe and Billy Antoine chief, whose title is in danger through the plots of Jimmy Baskette. George Randall is a man with a past and Fannie Laffla, his daughter, is in love with the leader of the gypsies. Barrington Carter, as a man who aspires to marry the girl, is a amph in makeup and acting. Chance Ray and Artie Cain are a refreshing pair of young lovers. The surprise ending of. "Gyppy Love" brought many curtain calls and novelty, suspense and hasidence. For novelty, suspense and hasidence. It is one of the best things this Harlem drama group has yet done. - Rag Baby Dolls" is the title of the book. The girls are the dolls, but they are not rag babies at all, but, on the contrary, they are dolls of the most gorgeous actress. Children in the audience actually cried, "Mamma, buy me that one!" Ted Blackman, who seems to do almost everything, is a boy doll, a girl, a dog, a cat, a girl with the girls. John Mason, Dusty Fletcher and Roscoe Montella provide a lot of fun. There's a new version of the Apache dance originated in the Parisian underworld. Sweet Bertye Upshur is a Red Cross nurse, selling pies for sweet charity's sake. Rudolph and Elisee Bennett sing "Grand Opera Vs. Blues." and it looks like a tite戏. Directly Julia Moody, the original Julia girl, offers Jim Vawls' celebrity da Da Stralu" to vigorous applause. Amanda Ralphin, in command of the Alhambra Girls in "Red Hot. It is obliged to respond to six encounters." Johnny Walker in "The Clown" is the picture feature. The Wednesday feature was a lot of clowning under the humorous direction of John Mason. And Now We Must Help the Dear Ladies An immense theatre party will be given by Eurska Temple No. 22, ladies' organization of Imperial Lodge of Elks, at the midnight show. There will be quite a program of volunteer talent from among leading stage people besides an augmented Alhambra show, and the hands of a very active committee of Eurska Temple members at 75 cents for orchestra seats and $1 for box seats, and are in great demand.

There are many other points in the amusement world which we can show as proof that your Virgin Islander is here when it comes to the things of the theatre and other phases of amusement which we enjoy in Harlem and sometimes on Broadway, thanks to a few of the best actors and which has made it possible for Negroes to enter the theatres of Broadway. We are so prone to boast of a superlity which we have been feel-able to accept, but we continue to feel that it is in keeping with the trend of the times to remind our readers that even white America has only, comparatively speaking, recently been enjoying a better appreciation of the theatre and Virgin Islander is wild awake, if anyone should ask you.

S. A., on Thursday, August 16, gives us the reason for inflicting (7) upon our readers a few thoughts which we know will not be received with grace by some of those no-called friends of our dressed up in sheep's clothing but who are wolves attempting to stab us in the back when they, think we are not looking; "The big show comes off tonight at the Apollo. Those of you who had seen "Three Weeks" screened at the Apollo some time ago realized it was a fascinating picture and enjoyed same, but "Flesh and the Devil" surpasses it. If you miss tonight's picture you miss the screen of all of it." On Monday, night, September 3, "Flesh and the Devil" entered a three-day run at the Lincoln Theatre on 18th street which drove us out of the city and there in the Virgin Islands are not as far behind as some people think. Truth to tell, we have carefully followed the showing of motion pictures not only on the Critic, but we have invariably found that the majority of pictures being screened for the Virgin Islanders get there many weeks before they are shown in "Darkest Harlem," but out there never see the theaters in Harmlun until months after. The thought which produced our comment on the picture thing has driven us to other movies among the Americans experienced when they arrived in the islands many years ago to take up their charge after the United States had purchased islands from Denmark the hilltop cities from the benighted sections of this country immediately resented the evident culture of many of the islanders, to say the 88 per cent of the 58 per cent in a population 55 per cent colored. Long, long before the first house had been thrown open to Nexross in Harlem Irish Johannes had been teekking to the stage, where he witnessed the drama as acted by colored people, and it was at the same place that Mime Sisserecta Jones was honored by the audience when Mr. Lester A. Walton, then manager of the Lafayette Theatre, in conjunction with Mr. Morganatian, secured a contract for the role he paid the伯 the highest price that he had been paid a colored artist appearing at a local theatre, which proves that without the culture (5) of continental America the artist when they saw or heard one. But that is nothing to be surprised at if one should reach back into the image of these colored people recently taken in the islands of Danes. Danes going into the islands to serve their king and seeking other employment, unlike the Americans, requested the institutions of the people the toleration which, they showed had had been granted to them thereby giving to the islands a rule without the least semblance of the friction which exists wherever America seeks to expand her dream of South America or West Indian domination, which carried to the islands artists of the highest caliber; and, too, they produced their own, for in the days when Dert Williams and George Walker were hired of eventually reaching the heights of eventually reaching of their race one Adolph Sixto was strutting the boards and through comedy and fare sent home mega a measure not only to his people but to the people who taught a greater appreciation for them to the unknown among whom they found themselves. Snatches of some of the world's greatest operas floating out to Virgin Islands resident here over the radio and through other channels are in-instantly recalled. Within the past seventy-five years the leading nations of the world have sent some of their best hands and orchestras in winter cruises on their warships, which would naturally converge at St. Thomas, a shipping, transhipping and water and ceiling section of great prominence in these days when the natives knew the inspiring feel of the Spanish doublon and the gold of all nations, and it was colored people that prompted the warm hospitality shown Germans, Frenchmen, Danes, Russians, Swedes, Norwegian, Spaniards, Englishmen, Brazilians, Halitans and others. In St. Thomas the Hiling strains of the tango were known long before they came to the United States. The enticling countr�ance, the fandano and others of their kind had regaled with Hanes and natives before they furnished the inspiration for the making of thou-sings of pignograph records. Even the life of his in-told islands was all himself to there in the better things along musical lines, for he listened rapidly as they came floating down to him from THE POPULAR RENAISSANCE CASINO WILL Entertain the GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE CLUB SAT.

Schuyler, one of the editors of the Messenger Magazine and one of the most brilliant young men now engaged in showing us up in our true light so that those of us who can accept criticism without the usual display of exposed nerves can correct our faults. Mr. Schuyler's letter is on what he terms a most deplorable state of affairs at the Lafayette Theatre, where the users are concerned. We also have a letter from Mr. William Jones, and in justice to the management like everything communications for a time. The letter of Mr. Schuyler, did everything to make his issue a close touch of ours, did Mr. Frank Schuyler the justice of placing it in his hands for a reply, since Mr. Schuyler informed us that the charges made by Mr. Schuyler are without foundation.

Night noises should be called, more appropriately, perhaps, "morning sounds," as the average Harlemite folds his couch about him after midnight. There is an insistent temptation to stay up late in a city that never sleeps. In enumerating the numerous causes that pique the slumber god of Harlem inhabitants, the section where you live will determine the particular brand of sound that makes sleep a fitful process. On the avenues and streets where traffic is heavy the greatest source of annoyance is the grind of motor gears and the auto horn. The more raucous the horn the merrier. Many persons sleeping in the vicinity of 131st and 132d streets and Seventh avenue have complained about the noise made by corner supporters who meet in conference there for two or three or more hours after midnight. think the taxi men were playing auto polo; it is then that you hear the horn screech and toot and blast sufficiently to wake the dead.

What is needed in a small Many have wrongly put the blame on Connie's Inn, which closes down promptly at 3 every morning. It's not the inn nor those in it, but more the text drivers who are after those coming out. And yet, the taxi noise is only about the average. But every Friday morning around 4 o'clock, when the Lafayette Theatre turns out its patrons of the midnight show, it's a circus. You'd can do justice is giving the coaches trouble and fastest periods as to what the outcome will be this year. It is also doubtful if Wu Fank Ward will be back. With such foes as Fick, Bluefield, Knoxville, Virginia Union, Tuskegee and West Virginia on the scene, worry to the coaches has been in allotment. It will be a problem to the coaches to fill these gaps unless men of sophomore rank make sure they meet in doing the needful. A backfield will have to be developed as well as a kicker. All hopes for a good team are in the hands of the senior men. Mondehall and Tynes, and tackle, respectively may be shifted to backfield. However, there may be several outstanding stars in the senior men's team. Senior States high schools who may make good, though all high school stars do not make college stars.

Steward was one of the original "Four Horsemen" of Tuskegee. He greeted game fans. Edward Waters, 1926 on Franklin Field, the University of Pennsylvania. In that game Lincoln University had scored a field goal and was leading 5 to 0 when on the touchdown. He scored a back ball back 76 yards and placed Tuskegee in position to score her first touchdown.

The country has lost more sleep since the adget of the radio than at any other time in history. The midnight radio programs of our neighbors do not always prove a balm for insomnia. I suspect that the radio may even start a new fad of sleeplessness. I know one thing, since my radio neighbor moved away, the crickets in the grass in St. Nicholas Park certainly do sound sweet before I "die" in slumber at midnight. Another menace to sleep is the pamphon, and I might also include the any plan for that matter, that often—ah, how often—broadcast catchy tunes until dawn. Then there are our next-door fellow citizens who insist upon having the last word with each other over trivial matters until "all hours". Sometimes the oral duet will be interspersed with a few piercing lines that make us sit upright in bed and turn on the light. Both our nerves and our sleep are shot to pieces and the next day's work seems slavery. Midnight murders seem to be on the increase, but we're thankful if the job is done notlessly. And night parties! They're the bane of the sleeper's night. We are all bane of the bane who love to laugh. I'll say we do, and how—especially when we're all ginned up at some party at 4 g. m.

A New Fraternity THE AMERICAN LIFE magazine of Chicago carlos a story in its current issue in which Arthur J. Riggs asserts that the I. B. P. O. E. of W. was organized on September 28, 1928. He may have meant 1895, but if the recent squabbles in the local lodges are to be taken seriously, it would seem that the fraternity now is in the process of organization. Birds Not Allied AN ELDERLY gentleman wrote to The Amsterdam News complaining of the orators who clog the various street corners of Harlem almost every evening. We were much surprised, however, to see him the next day making a fiery address to a good-sized crowd at the corner of 18th street and Seventh avenue. Very likely this gentleman classed himself as a stump speaker, and not as an orator. Right-O! DELEGATES to the National Negro Democratic Convention at Cleveland disagree upon the exact date that Negro slaves were first brought to America. However, the majority decided that the first cargo arrived at Jamestown, Vn., in 1619.—What does it matter? It stands to reason that we came here as slaves and have been slaving for one thing or another—high browns and the yellows—ever since. Preserved Peach?

Saturn imposes delay, and opposition, and causes developments to be retarded. The health should be well-guarded. September 13 promises some favorable developments in business affairs when patience and good judgment can be used. Romance and marriage will be unhappy for many, and there will be gain in social affairs and business. September 14 promises many adjustments in romantic and domestic affairs that will prove more or less for the best. This birthyear will bring success to those who are interior decorators or florists. There will be a need for much patience and good judgment. The birthyear for September 15 promises success and social honor to those who can use the best of judgment and patience. Those who are in business for themselves should be able to gain financially. A very good year this will be. September 16 will bring financial worries to many in this birthyear. Those who are chemists and workers in oils and liquids will be able to get ahead. Speculation is very adverse. Patience and quiet efforts will bring more gain. The birthyear for September 17 brings some success. Financial and domestic matters will cause some worry. Sudden changes and readjustments will not prove favorable. Patience and quiet efforts will make the year pass successfully. September 18 promises some gain and success in the employment. Sudden changes are not well favored. A bit of domestic worry will prevent the body in the purity of the food and liquids in the body from be assured, so that no injury to the health will be incurred. Romance is adverse.

A Key to Culture By LEOLA LILLARD Strozier Active in His Election District The Value of Courtesy T IS impossible to tell the value of courtesy. Some day the people who have learned to measure us will be able What a different world this would be if we would only welcome the sunshine that tries to enter the doors of our lives, the virtue that is ours for the holding. We miss so much happiness, all because we do not understand that it is made up of the little things. Not big money, big accomplishments or fame, but the little deeds of kindness, the little words of love (even though they often go without recompense) happily the world and rebound growth associated with soils. What a burning concretence and a restless mind the evil ones must have. How cruelly and laboriously they strive to shut the sunshine out of everybody's lives—and even their own. One of the most effective dots of kindness is shown by a courteous manner—when it is genuine, of course, for otherwise it is only mockery. An apparent courteous act emanating from an evil, designing mind, is more damaging in the end than helpful. There is even danger in too much courtesy, for every virtue becomes a vice if it is carried too far. Frank rudeness is better than servility or hypocrisy. There are hundreds of definitions of gentlemen, none of them altogether satisfactory. Cardinal Newman says it is almost enough to say that they are those who never give pain. Barrow declares that they are the men lifted above the vulgar crowd by two qualities: courage and courtesy. It is a polite and pleasant fiction that courtesy is innate and not acquired. We hear much about the "born lady"; we think it is mythical. Babies are not polite; kings and queens have lifelong training in the art of being polite. Getting into the habit of showing courtesy at home toward members of the household, as well as toward your fellow workers in business, is a good starting point. There are many who have society or special manners for superiors; there are those who are courteous and kind to people they are particularly fond of, forgetting entirely about the detriment they do themselves in neglecting to establish the good-will of every body. The value of courtesy cannot be estimated too highly. Its presence has a greater influence and drawing power than most any other developed quality.

MUSIC Madame Roberta Dodd Crawford, noted lyric soprano of Chicago, Ill., now in Paris preparing for her French debut in November, was a recent guest of Roland Hayes, celebrated tenor, at his country home, Villa Pierre, in St. Germain, a suburb of Paris. Mr. Hayes is completing preparations for his coming American tour. Marian Anderson, nationally known contralto, met with admirable success in her debut in Queen's Hall, in London, last week. The London Dally News criticised her as follows: "Marian Anderson has a fine voice, big range, and exceptional technique. She sang Verdil's well-known arla, 'O Don Fate' with fine effect." The London Daily Mirror is quoted as follows: "The singing of Verdil's 'O Don Fate' by Marian Anderson deserves a word. Hers is a voice of fine quality through its entire range, and she delivered the big phrases with an understanding of their style." Miss Anderson is due to arrive in this country early in October and is scheduled for an appearance at the Academy of music of Philadelphia on October 12, under the auspices of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity.

C. for its members, at McCombs Dam Park last Sunday afternoon, Aaron Jakes, a youth just out of high school, proved to be a one-man track team all by himself. After winning the hundred and the two twenty-yard dashes in creditable time, and scoring first in the running high jumps, he finished off the day by bringing his relay team from least up to first place in the concluding event of the afternoon. Few such athletic phenom have been seen around this sector since the days of Bling Dismond and the late Lionel La Beat, who in this day won entire point trophies unassisted. "Buddy" Jakes, modest to the extreme, is simply idolized by his fellow clubmen and by his retiring manner has a knack of whining admirers. PHONE: ERGENT 2117-6474 all makes of cars in a short time.

Boyd proved himself a distance runner of the first order by his clean-cut victory in the two-mile race, and he won the more recent event of the day. Starting on scratch with Arthur Hall and Bobby Howard and allowing liberal handicaps to a fair-sized feed, Boyd virtually ran his follow chimpmen and took the lead. Pete White started the boys off their marks Boyd set such a dizzy pace that he shook off the other scratch men and before the first mile was completed he overtaken the fewest handcaped men, such as he pleased. Boyd was followed across the line by Arthur Hall and Cay Pouls in the order named. While the time was announced as 10 min. 20 2/3 sec., no one doubted that the winner might have been extended. Another winner of two races was Warren, of the Salem-Crescent Juniors, who won both the 100 and 200 yards in each event. Warren was closely followed across the winning line by R. Hill, who undoubtedly is a corner and should be heard from in the day after the race, when day were Blanchard and Dawkins, who scored first in the half-mile and the running broad jump respectively, and Ken Robinson, who scored handily in the 12-pound shot put. Relay Causes Excitement An event which served to conclusively show some old Salentines how far they have gone back was the 440-yard relay. In which each of four junior team consisting of Hill, Hall, Litchicr and Warren and an old-timers' team comprising Messrs. Stevensa, Ronald Thomas, Eric Dawkins, big handicap by the star team club of Peterson, Robinson, Blanchard and Jakes. Little impression was made on the handicaps in the running first team, but down on Thomas of the old-timers considerably, while the latter held the juniors even in the next 110 yards. Litchicr lost ground to Dawkins running up first team, but Blanchard pulled up on both. As the batons were passed to the last man on each team Jakes was fully a dozen yards behind the gothic Warren, but with a burst of speed which brought the large gallery to its feet he overcooked first Warren, then Verwazen. Warren succeeded in outgaming the Verwazen for secondary honors. A large crowd of old club members was out, many of them with youngsters. Dugal, as many youngsters were, to dig on their favorites or boy friends. Summary. 12-Pound Shot Put—lst. Keni Robin- son, Running Bread Jump—lst. Dowkins Running Bread Running Bread. Jump-1st.

Dougherty. Being a man who takes a keen interest in the activities of his own race, as well as being a "lover of music," he is able to read the readers of your valuable journal the wonderful showing of Miss Pauline Jackson of New York City in the recent Third Wright Marathon held in connection with the "Miss Jackson" exhibition. Miss Jackson entered the water in a state of over excitement induced by the fact that the man who was setting as her manager was not in the race, and was in the locations in connection with the race and it became necessary at the last moment to make other arrangements. This necessarily caused Miss Jackson so much worry that on the day of the race, a collapse in state of semi-person collapse. In the circumstances her performance stands out from the fact that she outpushed each swimmer of her team. Edith Heila, Toronto; Millie Hudson, England; Miss Vogel, Switzerland; Lue Rosier, Long Island; Millie Cohen, Long Island; Punis Kurenen, Finland; Charchelle Barrett, Myrtle Hudson, Bronx, N. Y. Out of 75 swimmers only 14 finished. Miss Jackson completed 62 miles of the 10-mile swim. Miss Jackson made a favorable impression with Johnny Walker, Young, George Young, who predicts a great future for her. Hoping you can find space for this in your column, you may sport, WALTER R.

HARRY SMITH STOPS SALINO Crack Middleweight Fighter Continues to Pile Up a Solendid Record Harry Smith, who returned to this city last Thursday after stopping Jimmie Sullivan in the fifth round of a scheduled six-round bout in Miami, Hia, got busy right away and again started the last at the newidgewood Grove last Saturday before Sullivan in the fifth round of another six-round bout. Smith seems to keep his men waiting or the fatal fifth as he also swapped Sullivan in the fifth time ago at the Rockaway Playground. Saturday night's fight was harry's tenth encounter since he hit the counterterrorism, when the intercity tournament, Metropolitan and Canadian championships, and he has won them all by the knockout route except one which he wants to draw. His first en-rounder will be against the same Jimmie Sullivan at the St. Nicholas Arena next month, some time when Harry will be making the men of his team the first to face the end of the coming winter. While much has been said of the centemannly qualities of a number of players, the majority of the colored fighters of today boost centemannly qualities which have meant much to them. The most famous of these Harry Smith is as fine a youngster as the same ever saw and, although young in it, he will yet bring added force which has sent some of the most famous fighters to the roped arena.

On the Courts By FRANCIS A DISTINCT and substantial effort towards progress in national tennis circles was evidenced by two outstanding accomplishments during the national Championships at Bordentown, N. J. One was the election to the presidency of the American Tennis Association of Dr. J. L. McGriff, of Portsmouth, N. J., for the of the annual meeting from Mendy to Wednesday evening of the tournament week. In Dr. McGriff, the American Tennis Association was fortunate in securing a man particularly fitted to head the organization at a period when a man of his type was sorely needed. The new president in an active player position was the day point of view of the players, a condition that has been consistently ignored in the past by the tennis powers. It has ever been a cause for disaffection. He is courteous, affable and amenable to reason, possessed of a host of friends that should aid him in his tennis, as head of the national organization. He is a builder, for together with his friend and doubles partner, Dr. Marvin Brenner, the American Tennis Association, they have been responsible for the introduction of tennis as a major sport in many of our schools and colleges in this. This is a contribution of the highest value to the game among our race and worthy of the greatest praise. Our tennis future must be built up around the junior, and the schools and colleges affr'd the best opportunity for our youngsters to be schooled in the correct fundamentals of the game. The United States is looking forward to such players as Lott, Allison Doeg, Glen, Yan Yan and others to take part in the tournament. William and Richards, who have passed their prime, and these youngsters have all landed in which it said that Thompson and defeated Gans out on the Pacific Coast. Lichtenstein" told newspapermen that Thompson and Gans had never met, in actual combat, and glued compliments was in gymnasium brains, and on those occasions Gans always had the better of the exchanges. It was Alvis' intention to take away from Gans' reputation he has failed in his purpose. Gans never met Thompson for the simple readiness the courier park and handlers now move to keep apart. Gans is highly incensed and is just "rarin" to go. I intend filling civil suit in a few days in Cleveland and expect to get definite word from him nowadays." Lichtenstein declared. Evidently Alvie has started some thing. Sports Beat Donciares and Continue Winning Streak The New York Sports continued their winning streak after they defeated the Donclare B. B. C. by the shortstop, the shortstop, was the hitting sensation, with a homer, a triple and a single in four times up. Flemming was also handy with the willow, his shiny glove, the sending in the stinging and winning run.

The American Tennis Association should in the future not only confine its efforts to staging the national championships, but should see the match be played by the players for playing the game. They should encourage inter-collegiate tennis, by instituting and supervising inter-collegiate championship tournaments. Efforts should be made to interest and bring back into the tennis organization eleven new players, few few new players being passive, if not in open rebellion to the tennis ruling body. Means should be provided to give some attention to our Far Western clubs and associations, beyond the making of the regulation annual tennis tournament, the past years, the credit for which has been given to the national organization, and while the American Tennis Association deserves some credit, much of the work of development and encouragement in the initiative of the many State bodies. The time is here now when the national organization must do its part. The small group that desired the election of Dr. McGriff as president showed an acute stage of smallness after the election of Dr. McGriff by being positively uncoath, and ungesteemly, by their accuse of being uncoath during the week following the annual meeting, Dr. McCard, the retiring president, alone of the bunch, being as afable as he always has been. This is mighty different from what he did before, but better words that Dr. McGriff was the popular choice. The change of the meeting to Wednesday night gives the delegates a chance to formulate measures for the progress of the game, and incidentally put them in a position to combat the machinations of any political steam roller against the best interests of society. Air-Tight Bowling Kept Scores Small in Match Eight runs were the small total that separated the St. Thomas Cricket Club and the Dominican Cricketers in their game at Poliham Ray Park last Sunday afternoon, and which the St. Thomians won. Airtight Lowling by members of both teams was responsible for the small scores, and the highest individual score was made by L. Meyers of the St. Thomas team, with 10 runs. ST. THOMAS C. C.

KID CHOCOLATE AT ARENA SOON All roads will lead to Eddie McMahon's St. Nicholas Arena Club on the night of Sept. 17, for on that occasion little Kid Chocolate, the sensational Cuban fighter, will be sent into the ring to face one of his toughest opponents since he has been toppling them over. He has been asked to trade wallops with Sammy Tisch, which means a full house; these little fighting machines meet. In Havana, Cuba, where he was born, Kid Chocolate started fighting when he tipped the beam at only fifty-seven points. In maneuver fights he has engaged in he won eight-six by the knockout route, never once being on the floor. Since turning professional he has had twenty-seven battles, twenty-six via the knockout route. Such splendid mitt men as Johnny Cruz, Krug Kotolongon, Angel Diaz, Johnny DeSalvo, Pablo Blanco, Eddie Enos he knocked out in Cuba. In this city he won the decision from Nick deSalvo when they put the lights out when DeSalvo was on the floor. Johnny DeSalvo, Nick DeSalvo, short order recently, so when the kid takes his bow at the arena on the 17th he will have remarkable records ever piled up by a prizefighter in such a short time.

Monarch Lodge's vote repeatedly was split around 25 to 5 against all administration plans. Dr. Hudson J. Olver was chairman of his lodge's delegation.

Steele, who is not with the present ruling factors in Manhattan Lodge, was not realizing the impossibility of accomplishing anything against the machine, hence he was willing to remain.

TWO CATS IN A BAG NEGRO VOTE in this Presidential election most complicated problems that party had to deal with. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois New York the Negro vote is large enough in a close election. Both parties, by fishing for it, and both parties are fishing. DEMOCRATS are making the most Negro party has not made an aggro's rights. They argue also that since candidate for the Presidency is a North Carolina to give the Negroes their due than a North Carolina. But here comes the dilemma. If one any specific pledges to the Negro, the Solid South, their surest stronghold not make such pledges or give the Negro to his rights, they will forfeit the Negro the election. In short, they are trying while they pull hairs out of its tail. REPUBLICANS are trying to do the attempt to hold the Negro vote with the Southern vote. They ought to know these two cats cannot be kept in one bag at Lily White policy of the Republican. Demote the Negro voter to the Republican dodging of the disfranchisement question. TWENTY YEARS Republican leaders pipe dream—the breaking of the Solid South they have a good chance to do it this year. Others do not like Governor Smith. They may come that dislike of Smith will nothing. The South never cared for Clarence Parker, or Hancock, or any other Northen election day it always turned out in them. And for all the talk of wetness and Popish government, the South will year. The Republican party had better abandon the Southern pipe drenal principles and make sure of the Negro THE NEGRO VOTE in this Presidential campaign is one of the most complicated problems that party managers have ever had to deal with. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and New York the Negro vote is large enough to turn the tide in a close election. Both parties, therefore, are actively fishing for it, and both parties are embarrassed in their fishing. THE DEMOCRATS are making the most of the fact that the Republican party has not made an aggressive stand for the Negro's rights. They argue also that since the Democratic candidate for the Presidency is a Northerner he is more likely to give the Negroes' due than a Western Republican. But here comes the dilemma. If the Democrats make any specific pledges to the Negro they will alienate the Solid South, their surest stronghold. But if they do not make such pledges or give the Negro some assurance as to his rights, they will forfeit the Negro vote and perhaps the election. In short, they are trying to keep a cat quiet while they pull hairs out of its tail. THE REPUBLICANS are trying to do the same thing. They are attempting to hold the Negro vote while making a bid for the Southern vote. They ought to know by this time that these two cats cannot be kept in one bag. In fact, the present Lily White policy of the Republicans has done more to alienate the Negro voter than the Republican party's consistent dodging of the disfranchisement question. FOR TWENTY YEARS Republican leaders have been chasing a pipe dream—the breaking of the Solid South. They imagine they have a good chance to do it this year because many Southerners do not like Governor Smith. But when election day comes that dislike of Smith will amount to exactly nothing. The South never cared for Cleveland, or Bryan, or Parker, or Hancock, or any other Northern Democrat, but on election day it always turned out in full force to pote for them. And for all the talk of wetness and Tammany Hall and Popish government, the South will vote for Smith this year. The Republican party had better face this fact. It had better abandon the Southern pipe dream, return to its original principles and make sure of the Negro vote. NEGROES AND THRIFT BURNEY JAMES C.

The letter, in part, says: what you have said as to the fact that ladder.

If the Negroes when just our assist $57,000,000 in the Freedman's Savings of the Negro of today, with his greater ease, could lay by ten times as much.

NOBODY IS WHISPERING RE is this "whispering campaign" against it the Democratic newspapers are making to them the vilest slanders of the circulated under cover; people are about his principles, his habits, and his reliance.

Mr. Villard said it public several months ago, and named the number Some people oppose the Governor on them; do they whisper their opposition? shouting it from the housetops ever since opened the question a year ago in all these attacks there has been no hint of whispering. The Democratic paper honest attempt to create sympathy for picturing him as the victim of cowardly SECRETARY MOSES, to answer the issued a statement showing that in his appointments during his four terms, protestants than Catholics and more Repubs, and that eleven appointees were Jews, that in all the list of major appointment Negro. Perhaps it is "whispering" to call to this glaring fact. ATTORNEY JAMES C. THOMAS has forwarded a letter which he received from Mr. Louis Marshall, a member of the firm of Guggenheimer, Untermyer & Marshall, and a trustee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The letter, in part, says: I note what you have said as to the fact that Negroes are spenders. I would very much prefer that they should be savers, and that would enable them to do many things which under existing conditions are beyond their reach. While in these days a somewhat unfashionable to prescribe the homely desire of those and economy, I really feel that no greater good could come to the Negroes than that they should be imbued with the importance of these virtues. THIS IS AS TRUE as it was thirty years ago, when Booker T. Washington started saying it. It is also true that it is much harder for the Negro to save money, especially in large cities, than it is for other races. With so many opportunities closed to him, he makes less money than others and he is so gouged and exploited that he has less chance to save the little he does make. This may sound like self-pity, but is a brutal fact. IT IS STILL TRUE, however, that Negroes could save more than they do. If the Negroes when just out of slavery could deposit $57,000,000 in the Freedman's Savings Bank in ten years, the Negro of today, with his greater wealth and intelligence, could lay by ten times as much. If every adult Negro with a job would promise himself (or herself) to have even twenty dollars in the bank at the end of the year, the wealth of the race would increase by millions. Saving means sacrifice, but the Negro will have to come to it. NOBODY IS WHISPERING WHERE is this "whispering campaign" against Governor Smith that the Democratic newspapers are making so much of? According to them the vilest slanders of their candidate are being circulated under cover; people are whispering things about his principles, his habits, and his religion. This is not true. Whatever Governor Smith's enemies in or out of his party have said against him has been said openly, in speeches and in the press. --- WHEN WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE attacked the Governor's record in the legislature he did not whisper about it; he expressed himself at length and so publicly that even the Democratic papers printed his remarks in detail. They say the Governor drinks? Mr. Villard said it publicly in The Nation several months ago, and named the number of drinks per day. Some people oppose the Governor on the ground of his religion; do they whisper their opposition? No; they have been shouting it from the housetops ever since Charles Marshall opened the question a year ago in a magazine article. In all these attacks there has been no whispering and no hint of whispering. The Democratic papers are making a dishonest attempt to create sympathy for their candidate by picturing him as the victim of cowardly tactics. STATE SECRETARY MOSES, to answer the "whisperers," has issued a statement showing that in the list of the Governor's appointments during his four terms there were more Protestants than Catholics and more Republicans than Democrats, and that eleven appointees were Jews. It is significant that in all the list of major appointments there was not one Negro. Perhaps it is "whispering" to call the public's attention to this glaring fact.

EDITORIAL PAGE The Negro in the Next Congress THE swan song of George H. White, the last Negro member of Congress from North Carolina, still resounds in the ears of those who heard it. He predicted that his race would return to the seat of national legislation, and the next time with sustained and staying power. A quarter of a century has intervened and his prophecy awaits to be fulfilled. But the hour is now at hand. The next Congress will undoubtedly have a Negro member it may have several Negro candidates have been selected in Chicago, St. Louis and New York. The success of the race candidate in Chicago is practically certain; in New York, like in St. Louis, possible. Just as the Negro organization the Republican organizations of the South he is gaining an effective foothold in the North. The Alderman must hold sway over his ward; the State Legislator, over his district; the Confrontation district; the Governor, over his State, and the President, over the nation. In all of the cities where Negroes reside in large numbers they constitute the majority of the population in one or more wards or black heirs; in several cities the majority in Congressional districts. This is certainly true in Chicago, from which city we expect the first Negro Congressman. While the race probably does not constitute the majority in the so-called Negro district of St. Louis, yet the exigencies of political divisions may, through good hap, land a Negro into Congress. On the other hand, Harlem consti- Letters to the Editor to be should not exceed 250 word 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.

I do believe that you for some plausible reason the would be by the majority of our people in reading your paper.

It is a co proves of everything it prints He says that instead of educating the masses the paper takes pride in publishing filth and dirt. THAT IS a very easy thing to say. From childhood, however, we are taught that actions speak louder than words. In spite of what Mr. Smith says, he admits that he never lets a week go by without reading The Amsterdam News. The same thing is true of at least 100,000 other people in New York who read the 30,000 copies printed each week—more than any two competitors combined. A newspaper must respond to the public demand, and when the public shows more interest in a baptism than in a murder, it will gladly be accommodated. It is a common fallacy that a paper approves of everything it prints. IT.WOULD be a good idea for Mr. Smith to write a letter telling why he reads The Amsterdam News every week. HIGH TIME THE LADY Mayor of Southampton, England, has just completed a visit to this country. She says that American men are too kind to their women and that the women do not appreciate it. MANY AN American woman, pensively rubbing a black eye or wondering where her cheating sweetheart is, will ask where the Mayoress got that idea. American women are so used to being told by polite foreigners that they are the cream of the earth that they have come to believe it and to look upon their men as inferiors. Now a sharp-eyed foreign woman comes along and tells them their men are too good for them. It is certainly time somebody caid a good word for the American male.

In Chicago, Negroes dictate, if they do not control, the political machinery of the district in which they dominate. It is otherwise in Harlem.

It would be far better if you would render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto—the things that are. I also notice that your paper is very orthodox in its attitude on religion, the curses of the Negro peoples of the world. It seems to me that where this Christian God reigns intellectual Liberty is unknown. See the thirteenth chapter in Dauteronomy. This is the religious Liberty of God, the toleration of Jehovah. This Christian religion caused my race to be in slavery for hundreds of years. Perhaps the Bible was inspired upon the subject of Christianity, a civilized world today a clergyman who believes in the divinity of slavery? If the Christian Bible teaches man to enslave his brother, is it not blasphemous to say that it is the inspired word of God? If you find the institution of slavery upheld in a book said to have been God, what is the object to fix in book inspired by the devil? The twelfth chapter of Leviticus. I say if God is the author of the Bible, the reading of these passages ought to cover his cheeks with shame. Could the most revengful flound, the most malicious vagrant in the gloom of hell sink to a lower mortal depth than able to escape the exodus. Do you believe that the living Father of us all twine the dimpled arms of babes into manacles of iron? Do you believe? Is is possible to love a God who would make such laws?

I see by The Amsterdam News that, after three refusals, my old friend, Edward A. Johnson, has been induced to run for Congress. He is a scholar; a man of character, substance, standing and experience. He is imbued with the requisite spirit of racial ideals and enthusiasm. He would reflect great credit upon his constituency and his race, if sent down here to Washington. Oscar DoPriest of Chicago, a veteran politician, will fittingly and efficiently represent his constituency and his people. The Washington Convention already by anticipation, visualized his presence on the floors of Congress. Mr. McLemore, the St. Louis nominee, though a Democrat, must be all right, because he is a graduate of Howard University. Since George White left Congress a quarter of a century ago he has held national positions only through Southern leaders, who have manipulated national delegates at the Republican convention every four years, and through several members of the National Committee, who represent the highest point on the pinnacle of our political career, sometimes the role has more importance to appreciate the honor and distinction which comes to it by having representatives on the National Committee, the chief governing body of the Republican party.

Dear Sir: The Negro Democrats are wailing and keep interest the movements of Abraham Grenthal and Robert S. Conklin, Republican leaders of the Nineteenth and Twenty-first Assembly Districts, the districts that the Negro voters control. They claim they are the victims of a new kind of political trickery. They charge that the selection of Edward A. Johnson, big man and weary leader for Republican candidate for Congress in the Twenty-first district, where they know a white Republican, cannot be elected, is a trade wherein they are handing the election to Royal H. Weller, the Democratic candidate, on a golden platter, and thus robbing them of a chance to make a campaign for Weller among the black voters putting them out of the political picture in a presidential year. They can see now that the Congress bait was an insincere gesture held out to the Negroes white the white men, both Republicans and Republicans, bled up all of the local offices for white candidates. The white leaders know that more Negroes vote in a presidential year than any other time, so they film-framed and by all white men will be elected to Congress, the State Senate and Assembly this year. The white leaders arranged this trade and left the Negroes out in the cold. (Signed) JOHN Now York City, September 3, 1928. "GO TO THE ANT" Writer Asks How Many Negroes Would Walk Block to Patronize a Negro. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sr: When I was a child of six, one very warm summer afternoon my mother and I were sitting in the shade of the theater with me front of our home. Along name a Jewish woman burdened with bundles, and who lived in one of the new flats across the street. LETTERS The displacement of Howard, Davis and Cohen was a condition precedent to Southern white espousal of the Republican cause. But, alas, we may as well face the facts. There is little or no likelihood of regaining the lost battle with any time with which we need now concerne ourselves. A Negro apologist for Republican misdeeds remarked to me that the undoing of Howard and Davis was merely a personal matter, without racial significance, and that the female representatives are still functioning on the National Committee. My reply was that the shadow follows the substance. Four years from now, when these masculine positions will be filled by white men, what will happen to the white counterparts? The white man is guttile, while the Negro is gullible. The gaining of political power in the North compensates only in a minor degree for the loss sustained in the South. A national Congressman is an inequable exchange for a National Committeeman. The next census will tell an interesting story. When reapportionment and redistricting are made on the basis of the population, they know with some deflatteness the political strength of the Negro in the North. One would say beforehand that 125,000 Negroes ought to command the political fortunes of a Congressional district. New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis and, possibly, Detroit and Cleveland will probably measure up to this requirement because the confidently forward that he a Negro Congressman in the near future, with the power, prestige and promise that such representation implies. She stopped to talk to mother, and in her broken English stated she had walked over two miles to and from the nearest store. I looked at the woman in childish amazement, as I well knew the nearest store was but four blocks away. I also wondered why moth did not inform the woman of this. After she had gone into her flat, I asked mother why the woman had walked so far when the stores were but four blocks away and mother answered: "Her religion and her pride of race cause her to deal only with her own kind." How many Negroes are there race causes them to walk only on one block out their way to deal only with their own kind? One evening, not long ago, as I was walking along Lenox avenue, two very well dressed young colored men were just ahead of me. Coming toward us was an elderly Jew whose clothes were Ill-fitting and rather shabby. Both men were needed a wristwatch and mark one of them made about "that dirty old Jew." Two days later I happened to overhear this same young man ask an acquaintance of his for a quarter. Unknown to these young men, "that dirty old Jew" owns eight five-story houses in Harlem. The Jew is recognized as the busy ant. How long will it take us to observe his ways and be wise? (Signed) J. FORTUNE WOODS Sept. 10, 1928. PARASITE To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: I read with interest a short column in your issue of September 1, in which you referred to the coming visit of that Arabian gentleman, El Ouasf, to our shores. It appears that E. Ouasf is the winner of the Marathon event at the because Olympic games and, because of dark skin, the Arab-a was hopped upon as a member of the Negro race by sun-down writers." Now, this is a favorite sport among Negroes, to wit: Annexing all the colored peoples of the world who have achieved any distinction whatever. The Negro is satisfied to sit down and do nothing, while he looks with eagle eye and accomplishes, among other people are accomplishing, and if perhence, some individual of another who happens to be a bue similar to his, achieves something worth while, straight away the Negro is found attempting to bask in reflected glory. It matters not to him that no race on earth wants to claim kinship with him. Instead of bending every muscle to stand on his own, he still persists in playing the role of the jackawk. I recall the humiliating fact that a few years ago a group of Negroes journeyed to Abissina to compliment that Republic on being black and Negro, but the Abissinai unceremoniously felled the embsasy, advising it that they (the Abissinai) were not Negroes. WILTON B. CALENDER 150 St. Johns Avenue, New York Observations of "New" Russia By JAMES H. HUBERT THE two contributions of America to world culture are Prof. John Dewey and Negro jazz," said Count Keyserling, widely known author, during a recent visit to America. Russia welcomed both this summer. It was my good fortune to join in a group of serious-minded Americans, including students, teachers, physicians, from all parts of the States, bent upon getting the truth about Russia. Leningrad, Moscow, Kiev and many peasant villages were visited. We inspected schools, churches, monasteries, museums, hospitals, sanitariums, factories, theatres, workers' clubs, courts, prisons and homes. Standing in front of the Crinium with the slogan of the Soviet Union written in large letters across the main building, "The Revolution is like a cyclone sweeping everything in its path," asked Prof. W. W. W. Opinion was of Russia, after three months' study, including various conferences. cational excursions to museums, libraries and other educational centers are conducted for workers under trained supervisors. Prisons are conducted not for revengeful punishment, but as a means of correction and improvement. Every prison has its life- He said, "Thus far my brain is in a whirl." So much has been said about the wretchedness of Russia that one wonders if there can be any good in this Communist Republic. There is evidence of poverty, or at least the absence of luxury. No silk dresses; many unclean houses; here and there beggars in rags. One is prompted to agree with the casual tourist and capitalistic newspapers of America and Englewood, where you can see dogs." But you must not be too hasty. Reserve opinion until you have seen the real heart of Russia. Visit the factories. See them at work. Join them in a game of tennis. Attend the theatre with them. Seriously inquire what the young Russian thinks of new Russia. Immediately you get a different story. Russia is the largest continuous domain in the world, being about one-sixth the world's total surface. The Union of Socialistic Soviet Republics made up of six republics comprises over 100 nationalities and is the only State based not on Bourgeois principles of private property but on principles of social contract with the State, thus distinguished from all other states in the world. The primary object of the union was "the autonomy of the individual and the voluntary union of all." Russia is today the world's greatest social laboratory. The gradual transformation or shift of interests from mercenary interests to things cultural is perhaps the world's greatest wonder. "All power to the Soviet" all for one "all" is the slogan. Many are renouncing wealth for what are termed the "higher possessions." Everything—stores and houses included—is owned and operated by the government. Families who, before the Revolution, lived in eight rooms, now live in two and three. Ask them if as does not a family have a library. "A disadvantage, perhaps, but why a family of two occupy more space than needed when families of eight and ten are living in crowded quarters?" Under the pew regime all interest is focused on the individual. Each factory has a neat communal kitchen. Volunteers transformed from one factory to another as needs may be. They are sent to overnight sanitariums, weekly sanitariums and given rest cures, not when asked for but when the committee determines that such is necessary. The volunteer has its recreational club, where tennis, basketball, dance hall, theatre, swimming, etc. are provided. Edu- Would End Handshaking And Kissing in Campaign CATSKILL, N. Y. Sept. 10.—A crusade for a "sanitary election campaign," in which kissing and handshaking shall be eliminated as campaign adjuncts, is advocated by the Catskill Examiner. The newspaper urges that when Hoover announced recently that he did not intend to kiss babies for publication, he unconsciously called attention to the arrival of a new order in politics. "It had been hitherto supposed," says the editor. "that women voters could be enticed by an invitation to line up for hours waiting for the handshake of a prominent official." Modern hygiene, according to the advocates of the new crusade, has risen up to shield the babies from indiscriminate kissing, political or otherwise. The same principles, they hold, should be applied to, miscellaneous handshaking. Health authorities who have been trained in the handshaking custom should be abandoned, as many harmful organisms can be transferred from hand do hand. According to one eminent doctor, "there is a real risk to health unless precautions of cleanliness are taken in passing voters down a campaign reception BONCANDANGA, Bolkian Congo. Sept. 10. After thirty years' work by Mr. and Mrs. Ruskin, missionaries, the first dictionary of an African tongue has been spoken by 300,000 Negroes. The missionaries are now working on a Lomomong version of the Bible. cational excursions to museums, libraries and... other educational centers are conducted for workers under trained supervisors. Prisons are conducted not for revengeful punishment, but as means of correction and improvement. Every prison has its factory. New Moscow is the Colony for the Soviet Union. Young men and women from 16 to 23 work and play in perfect liberty; no convoys, no guards. When the colony was opened, criminals were simply given the address and railroad fare and allowed to go alone unscorted. The superintendent's duties consist of supervising and offering care in a colony with full self-government. Russia's chief need seems to be credit. Her program is based on a five-year period. She is at a loss to understand why American and British recognition has been delayed. She points out that government officials in Russia demonstrate their ability to carry on. Russia has confidence that American refusal is based rather on its disapproval of the present form of government. Russia suffered as did no other country except France in the World War II. Russia, followed by two years of France. The sore cause by years of civil strife is healing slowly. When you point to Russia's begars (many of whom include former bourgeois who refuse to work), you are told "Our program is not for them but for the youth." With 145,000,000 people bonding their minds and energies not to work, they are not of the kind living that life is more than meat, and the body than raiment, where the very nature of its government is driving out selfishness (and whether one wills it or not, the spirit of altruism is in evidence) one cannot but conclude that the spark is destined some day to spread throughout the world. Ask a young Russian that介include government offer to individual effort? He replies, "Why, an incentive to wealth!" Before the Revolution, peasant farmers owned about 50 per cent of the land; today about 83 per cent. Lands formerly operated and owned by the crown, the no-merchant was confiscated and divided among the peasants. The Russian believes that land is the gift of God like air and water; only he who applies his labor to it should have it, each according to his needs. Russia welcomed trained Negro farmers to work; now an attorney of Harlem, is there and as one of under secretaries in the Soviet government is making himself felt. Perhaps no land offers just now a better opportunity for the young educated Negro who wants to play a role in the government under the Union of Socialistic Soviet Republics, popularly called the "U. S. S. R." Florida Primary Fight To Go to Highest Court JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 10—Negroes of Florida will carry to the United States Supreme Court, if necessary, on appeal, a case involving their right to vote in state primaries. Judge Thomas F. W. in Circuit Court in Pensacola, ruled that Negroes cannot vote in a Democratic primary election in Pensacola as long as the city Democratic Execu- tion limits balloting in white persons. H. D. Goods, who was denied the voting right, brought suit for $5,000 damages, through his attorney, Fred W. Marsh, who announced that appeal from the Judge's ruling would be made to the Supreme Court.
